By ES6 components OP likely means React components defined using the ES2015 (aka ES6) "class" syntax. The most notable difference is that they don't support mixins, which Meteor seems to take for granted.
Only recent papers and only from publishers which allow it.
Celestial navigation plus accurate clocks. I'd think this would be especially good on a planet without clouds (as long as your planet rotates fast enough, so I guess Mercury is out). Anyone know if Mars has any polar stars?

^ this. Id much rather use a decorator with ES7 then extending out classes. Although, i thought i heard that react is working on making some better alternative to mixins
That explains the choice, then. It's sensible to use whatever is already there as a default unless you plan to convert the existing tests.
Feynman was not a medical doctor, I don't understand why he would be teased about not knowing the anatomy of the cat.
When I learned programming, it was pretty common to get from a senior programmer, some huge source listing, and use it as a reference.

When I got my first real computer, I got Turbo Pascal, and its manual was excellent. Also (not atypical in the day) the language and its libraries replicated the essential functionality of the system, so the language was the system.

It was not unrealistic that I memorized TP in its entirety after a couple of years.

Today, I think the challenge is that we are programming much more complex systems, and the functionality we need is not self contained, but is pulled together from scattered bits and pieces. Much as I love the Python ecosystem, it must seem like an enormous squirming mass to someone who is accustomed to working within a package such as Matlab or Excel.
Your statement isn't really true. Netflix does charge sales tax in some states, and as a company they are subject to other forms of tax in the the locals where they have a business nexus.

City governments will need to adapt to the changing markets and find new revenue streams for sure, but I see the current move as anticompetitive and a bald faced money grab. Some people in the free market have decided that the record stores, sporting events and other local entertainment in the Chicago area are not as good of a value as what cloud services provide. The answer is not to hold these people hostage and tell them they have to pay up regardless. The solution is to take a hard look at what is driving consumers away from local entertainment options and find ways to help your local companies adapt to a changing market.

What's wrong with dual-licensing the project?...
I wonder if flow cytometry would work? Have a venturi on mild suction, designed to flow a jacket layer around the perimeter, and a laser to detect forward and side scatter. That gives you size and complexity. That plus location, time, wind, and season could probably give you a very useful signal. If not in the home, certainly if the data was sent to central system, a la weather stations.
Why do you bring this up? Do you think my comment involved taking a side?
Knowledge.

Understanding.

Experience.

They all seem necessary for optimal performance. And they all seem different. Yet they all rely on the first: knowledge.

At some arbitrary point of abstraction, the ability to manipulate accumulated knowledge becomes understanding. This seems best gained through practical (rather than theoretical) experience.

But it's all based on knowledge.

Certainly "understanding" appears to be more valuable, as evidenced by examples given here comparing understanding with knowledge. But is that an arbitrary distinction? Is understanding predicated on knowledge? It seems to be. Is practical experience better than theoretical? It feels so.

I wonder if the distinctions we draw between these concepts is somewhat arbitrary. I struggle to pinpoint the phase-shift at which accumulated knowledge becomes understanding, and what signifies a collection of knowledge that had failed to become understanding.
I don't want to be negative, but I think many horror stories begin with "outsource their front end coding". If possible, do not do it!

Recognising a Bad User Interface at First Glance
You misuse the "Show HN:" tag to lead people to your home page... which then doesn't even load on Chrome?
If you never have to look anything up, you're likely not actually getting better. The last thing a developer can afford is to stagnate for extended periods of time (i.e. years rather than weeks).

The likelihood that you already know everything there is to know about your niche and that you will be able to stay in only that niche for your entire career is extremely low.
Happy to see the community chose AGPL.

I'd be more OK with the Apache license if it did not contain very dangerous language in it for contributors:

https://www.taoeffect.com/blog/2013/09/the-apache-contributo...

For those looking for an Apache-like license without such language, consider the MPL 2.0.
Almost none of those companies are IN Chicago though.

My cursory internet sleuthing has revealed that Angular and React use Jasmine, whereas Ember and CoffeeScript use QUnit.

Haven't found an instance of Mocha. Most job postings I've seen indicate that Jasmine is the dominant test framework.

Reasonable question, but I'm pretty sure the person was just happy there was one thing they knew better than Feynman (who seemingly knows everything else).

As mentioned in some of the replies to the Quora question, this was also a great time to mess around in PvP and put on all of your best equipment (armor of invulnerability, and weapons of vanquishing) and head out to the dungeons to cause chaos. Or taking 80+ purple explosion potions with you and hucking them at groups of people still fighting in the dungeons. If you died, oh well, like you said everything that happened in that hour got reverted.
It's not math or CS, but some chemistry journals don't allow preprints on the arxiv. Also, for some new results in physics, you don't put them on the arxiv if you're worried about being scooped...

States and localities can tax their residents pretty much however they please. The fight over the "Amazon tax" has always been about whether Amazon was required to collect the tax or whether people were supposed to mail a check to the state on their own. There has never been any serious doubt over whether states and cities can levy the tax in the first place, just over whether they can force out-of-state companies to collect it for them. The bill you're thinking of is probably the Marketplace Fairness Act, which was about letting states force retailers with sales over $1 million to do the work of actually collecting the tax.
Am I the only one who doesn't see Alexis's responses as snarky? Given that the userbase is going to hate him anyway for dismissing a well-liked public figure and that he's already admitted that they should've communicated better with mods, I don't see what he could do differently.

I would bet on b), BTW - the only explanation I can think of for why they would dismiss a well-liked community liaison is if they wanted to monetize AMAs and she objected.
Maybe it will be difficult to fully certify in the way you are thinking but the definition of "Commercial" is certainly going to be changing as rules for drones under 55lbs are finalized in the US as they already have been elsewhere. I think the space Airware will be able to compete successfully in with their current strategy will shrink as those rules get formalized and "hobbyist" platforms are used to do more and more real work. (Not that I don't wish them the best of luck - there are great folks over at Airware.)
The fact that we can all talk about what we 'want to hear' about a place seems to imply that we have a narrative which we're looking to confirm, rather than being objective and rational in our approach to these things. As with most red-washing campaigns, it's going to be hard to figure out how much badness was caused by horrible economic circumstance, how much by bad management, and how much by outright badness for badness's sake.

At the end of the day, you'll always have people on both sides - Stalin did nothing wrong and Stalin was literally worse than Hitler 90 million killed with his own hands, that sort of thing - and folks talking about NK operatives astroturfing in HN comments and everything else.

I think you're totally right, and this raw data is a great opportunity to actually get some facts and perspective on an otherwise opaque part of the world. Then we all get to have opinions and have those opinions confirmed, which will be nice.

YES, yes a thousand times yes! I read stuff on here to try to keep up-to-date on new things... but frequently it doesn't work because I can't even understand the vocabulary.

Then I'll even try to look up the meaning of an unfamiliar term, but the definition itself uses 5 other terms that I also don't know. So I'll go look up those 5 terms, but by then I'm three levels deep and sure as hell not any closer to the original topic I was trying to learn about.

Yeah man, HN has taught me that I'm straight-up useless! Shew...

Says the loser with a reddit account
Oh, well, GS says it did nothing wrong. Moving along!

They claim that the potential AIG default had been hedged. So what? The AIG securities were hedges in the first place; apparently that doesn't eliminate counterparty risk! If the public had not stepped in, and GS was forced to call upon the next insufficiently-capitalized insurer in the chain, it is likely that party would also have proved insufficient. After enough layers of recursion, eventually GS would have been left holding a bag of some size, and its precious shareholders would have lost some of their money. And that would have been perfectly OK. You can't claim with a straight face that unemployment would be any higher today in that fairer, more just world.

If the Treasury Secretary wasn't a Goldman alumna, there's no way in hell that only the AIG securities held by GS would have been made whole in the way that they were. That is pure corruption, and the verdict of history will be very harsh.

What about making higher education free, do you see benefits in doing that?
I seem to recall it was a SparcStation 10. No clue about the clock speedm but I believe it was more. Note: my first PC was a 386/25MHz, which was considered blazingly fast (and a cool 10k including the Nec MultiSync 3D monitor, a 256 color EGA video card and 24 bit P2200 printer).

PS A different topic altogether, but for quite a while it seemed that whatever clock speeds we gained was wasted on pushing pixels around on the screen...

That said, I've read the manifesto and I liked the idea. This has my support.
It's surprising how many comments are literally just from this one account that you're using - 20% of the discussion by comment at the moment. Someone has skin in this game, and my gut tells me it's not the people who are advocating caution where lies have been seen before. They're not calling this guy a liar, they're saying to wait and see before getting the old pitchfork out.
"...There are lots of software-as-a-service companies that take care of calculating sales taxes..."

as someone who has worked in this before... The data is not as accurate as you might expect it to be, tax jurisdictions overlap zip codes inconsistently, the services are expensive and there are the integration costs that are perpetual.

all of these challenges can be satisfied, but to dismiss it and go off and assume it's a marginal cost is a tad ignorant; especially for a startup that is being bootstrapped by the founder(s).
The following is interesting:
http://www.energy.gov/articles/us-department-energy-increase...

It will be interesting to see how this evolves. I also see more open access publications (where the publication is free for the public, but the author pays the publisher) these days--but I'm not sure if they have subsidies for researchers from smaller institutions.

Originally, Powershell did NOT have execution policy. And even in versions that do, it's also at the mercy of the invoking process, as I recall.

If you do

open database connection

do one insert

close database connection

That adds up fast.

At work, I've been very disappointed in the performance of their Amazon RDS. They had unexplained master/slave replication issues.

You also can put a memcached in front of the database.
Most people do that, and most publishers allow authors to publish preprints of their works. Google Scholar is the usual place for looking for citations.

But all this rely on the good faith of the editor and universities preserving the author personal pages forever. And the entire system lacks any standardization or interoperability.
Shout is MIT, so they don't need to give any credit.
For most Elsevier journals, you can post your preprint or even the accepted manuscript online--for example on a personal site or the arXiv. Sometimes I wonder why this point isn't brought up more often in discussions on open access publishing.
all of the problems you just described can be solved by simply firing a bad employee or not hiring bad ones in the first place.

I'm still not following why paying them to do nothing is necessary.
Yeah, I'd like to see other sorts of questions that you can only get right by looking for disconfirming evidence, but that don't have anything to do with choosing a sequence of numbers.
I think that should be qualified by saying that is very risky to outsource anything that is your core competency. So if your startup is a data scraping company then your core competency is the code that actually crawls the web for data. You build that in house. If you have an app to all users to create scraping jobs and to surface that data, you can outsource that. If your startup is a new type of social network, then your app itself is your core competency, and it will be very difficult to outsource that because you will need a lot of face time to communicate your vision.
Movie makers take cues from social media
And for what! I left Universtiy a year ago. To prepare my dissertation, I had to read hundreds of articles like everyone, and like everyone, I had to sort through all the crap that somehow makes it to IEEE. I expected that peer reviewed articles would be the best there is.

I was working on ECG signals that were acquired in our institute and in a hospital to deal with all sorts of unbearable noises and artefacts. And then there were articles that would be published after testing their algorithms on a synthetic ECG (as if the world is lacking true hearts) with a cute gaussian noise (as if the world is lacking funky electrodes on sweaty hairy dudes), or the least noisy signals of the MIT database (the ones who test their stuff on the first seconds of 100.dat, you know who you are).

What I also found frustrating is that we have to trust the words of the authors about the results.

Cool, the signal is filtered but how long does your program take to deal with the 1.5 million samples? How many lines of code? What was the gear used?

These are all important things to know so that people know if they're improving stuff or not. But the FPGA cluster seldom gets mentioned in the articles.

I didn't expect I had to go through all that crap because I assumed they're frigging on renowed journals (so pre-filtered).

So I spoke to some people about it and it appears there are "international conferences" where you don't even have to attend for them to vouch you attended. You only need to pay.

After hanging out in some of the labs and seeing the mindset of the publishing game and how it's done, my supervisor still calls me so that we can publish something together but the answer is always that I don't have the necessary skills, nor the desire to publish.

I don't want to publish something that'll be a waste of time for other students.

There seem to be some efforts to deal with this racket (I think some companies are doing that)..
Gotta concur. Setting up an SSL certificate or firewall do not constitute bullshit. The complexity of these systems lies in their solid engineering, not any inherit flaw.

SSL is designed to be secure, not easy to learn. I remember how painful it was to set up root certificates the first time I did it; combining certificate files, setting permissions correctly, configuring nginx. It's a pain in the ass. But as a result nobody can snoop on messages between me and my users. Worth it.

Firewalls are firewalls; having one in place means when you send a request to your server sometimes nothing will come back. Yes, if you've forgotten you have a firewall this makes it hard to debug. But if the firewall returned any kind of response it would be less secure.

I am bemused that the author finds this to be demeaning, merely annoyances blocking him from doing his pure "research." I suggest he take the time to study these systems and learn why the annoyances are there. Who knows, out of that might come a new research project that improves the way the world uses SSL!
InfluxDB CEO here. Happy to answer questions about InfluxDB or Telegraf

I'm just not finding current trend addressing those workforce. They are essential part. They contribute to the economy. I feel they are kind of neglected and too much focus is put on being passionate and working extra hard, which eventually is causing lot of mental health issues and eventually family issues.
Some of those 78% probably got it right...

In what sense? How did they know that e.g. (1, 1, 1) didn't work, unless they tried it?
The Apache license explicitly mentions patents. I think that for a project to be successful it should be painless for big companies to use it. Lawyers and IP people at large companies generally have a much more serious tone than programmers when it comes to considering which licenses they can include in their stack.
Have large numbers of HN people really not seen this riddle before? Maybe I read weird things.
Ask HN: My company is giving me phantom stock, anything to worry about?
I'm the product manager for a startup. Before taking on the role asked about equity and was told that because we were raising capital it was difficult to tell what the final grant would be.

It has been just shy of a year, they're going to be telling me about the plan next week. In the intervening time they've made it clear that this is NOT an equity plan, but something that achieves similar ends. I asked today what the vehicle was actually called so I could do some research in advance of out meeting next week. The plan is a phantom stock plan.

From my research it appears that this effectively a contract for a bonus that will pay out when specific terms are met (purchase, IPO, etc). From what I can tell there are a couple downsides to be aware of:

1) The payout will be taxed as normal income, just as any bonus would be.
2) The structure of the plan needs to be careful about vesting as it generates a taxable event.
3) You don't have actual stock, so if someone were to do something like buy the company in an all-stock deal, the payout would be... 0? I suppose it depends on the contract terms.

Any insight or feedback would be welcome. Anything I'm missing here?
I've seen companies that are real sticklers for that sort of thing claiming that if one falsifies that what else are they about? Yes,nit is asinine but it does happen
In my opinion, based on Tesla's maintenance cost today, it's a fancy toy for rich people.

It's out of reach of general consumer and when it comes to saving planet by consuming electricity, not gas in US I am skeptical. What I want to find out is a green house effect from 1 mile per gallon of gas vs. 1 mile per kWh off produced electricity. Considering US electricity is produced by coal burning plants, which are considered primary green gas effect contributors.
The planet doesn't have to rotate to use celestial navigation. As long as you can see the stars you are fine.

So the dark side of mercury would work fine. On the hot side as long as you are not exactly on the equator the sun acts as a fixed direction and you can use that.

> Anyone know if Mars has any polar stars?

The orbital tilt of Mars is 1.85 degrees (vs 0 for earth) and the Axial tilt is 25.19 vs 23.44 for Earth. So Polaris would be pretty close to being a polar star for Mars as well.
