I don't think the example you link to has anything to do with character assassination. The article lists the comments in a bug entry on a bug tracker, and points out two comments that were deleted. I happen to agree with the deletions, some comments have no place in a bug tracking system that should be used to fix bugs, not argue politics and accuse other people of malicious intent. Such comments are not conducive to bug fixing, so they have no place on a bug tracker.

Deleted comment 1 included "But I doubt I would waste time on coding as I’m sure you’ll just make an excuse to reject it, just as you’re making excuses instead of fixing this bug."

Deleted comment 2 included snippets like "except where they deliberately break it" and "but I’m sure it’s still their agenda to make it a dependency just because they want it to be".

"This means that the system in question could have planets with small orbits (like the earth's for example) orbiting that system's centre of mass despite the stars being many AUs away from it. It may be unlikely but it's certainly possible, right?"

No, this does not mean that at all! An orbit asks for a centripetal force. In heliocentric systems this force is the gravity of the star (considering the gravity of the orbiting body to be negligible). Here, pairs of stars are kept into orbits and for each star the force that keeps it around is not only the force of gravity of the other star, but also that of its own (since it's not negligible any more). A third body can not have a stable motion around the "centre of mass" between those stars because there does not exist any force to keep it there. Any body between the orbiting stars will be under forces that will pull it towards the stars. It may at most stay "stable" in the middle, where the gravity forces of the around-orbiting stars cancel each other.

"So why were we afraid? We felt we were good at programming, but we lacked confidence in our ability to do a mysterious, undifferentiated thing we called "business." In fact there is no such thing as "business." There's selling, promotion, figuring out what people want, deciding how much to charge, customer support, paying your bills, getting customers to pay you, getting incorporated, raising money, and so on. And the combination is not as hard as it seems, because some tasks (like raising money and getting incorporated) are an O(1) pain in the ass, whether you're big or small, and others (like selling and promotion) depend more on energy and imagination than any kind of special training."

NO WATCH

JG: You don't appear to be wearing an Apple watch tonight.
SW: I haven't bought an Apple watch. I haven't ordered one. I want to use it and see if that simplification affects my life.
But I have some misgivings too, because I've had some smartwatches and they didn't change my smartphone life. You know, I had them and I wore them and I got rid of them. It just didn't have enough of a 'give me something new I didn't have before', and I'm worried about that.
If you buy the gold one for $17,000, you're getting your money's worth. It's like the gold Rolex. You're buying $17,000 worth of prestige.
But the other ones, there are 20 models from $500 up to $1100 and the only difference is the band. So I'm wondering if Apple's selling watches or bands.
It doesn't seem like the company we started and that moved the world forward.
I was first in line for every iPhone that came out, every iPad that came out, these were important products to me. I just wanted to have the newest, latest, and try it out and use it for some advantages but it just didn't grab me that much for the watch.

I would love to see the proportional fee killed. Even Vanguard charges this (though their fees are smaller, they are still a percentage). But the fact is the effort required to manage $10M is not 10x the effort required to manage $1M (especially with software). So why do we pay 10x as much? Because we always have!

I spent countless hours coming up with a combination that preserved my top 2 layers and following where each individual piece moved in the final layer.

I don't work in ad sales, and I'm not lying. Yes, ads are beyond annoying and they're making some websites borderline unusable - but the reason why ads don't work lies in the fact that the number of ads I ever clicked on purpose could probably be counted on one hand, over my entire lifetime.

It may well be the case that I'm exceptional, but on the off chance I'm not: advertisers were wasting their dollars on showing me stuff since way before I even knew what an ad blocker was.

Hi,

I haven't tried sharing views between accounts before, I'll take a look.
Ask HN: Can the mods implement a 'resurrect' feature?
I know the pros and cons regarding hellbanning. But could it be possible to implement a 'resurrect' feature for specific comments of hellbanned people. (Maybe this is already a feature, I don't know)

The reason for this is twofold:

1: It seems that sometimes there are some false positives - I have gone through some hellbanned account comments and couldn't see what they'd done to become a 'greywalker'. This could bring them back into the fold after a certain amount of comments are resurrected.

2: For genuine hellbanned accounts, if they keep posting comments, ones which are suitable for the community would appear, but the default would be that they show up as dead. They could therefore contribute to discussions when on topic, and maybe even have a little reinforcement learning applied to them so that they start to see the benefit of not being a troll...

Just an idea as I browse with showdead on, and sometimes come across great comments...

The article mentions slippage, grinding, play, noise and vibration. These are generally undesirable in machinery. Slippage and grinding suggest significant problems with wear and durability. That would limit the lifespan of the gearbox.

It's still pretty cool and could be very useful. That doesn't mean there aren't useful applications. It just means there are design tradeoffs.
I'm close to your one-handed-click-count 'niche'. I'm really not a commercial target. I kinda despise the actual idea of advertising. It's in your face, takes a lot of resources, distract and also rarely on point.

I don't think I would ever install an adblocker if it was 80% small text ads (like Google off side ads), or a non invasive static image (granted it's not taking more space than the content I was about to read). Could website function with this kind only ?

Also, I really wonder what it looks like for a user to click on an ad...

ps: I didn't count the few times I did click on them voluntarily just to give some prints to a website in need.
Good article. Needed it two weeks ago :D

I did 4 years ExtJS and 1 year Ember. React was totally different but rather nice to work with. The API surface is so much smaller.
What you are describing is called "backdriving" the gearbox. Generally speaking, gear trains with high reduction ratios don't like to be backdriven. Small steel gear trains with ratios in the 1000:1 range can destroy themselves when back driven.
404 error :(
As much as I think the article makes great points (tax-loss harvesting seems oversold, and Vanguard is a much cheaper way to get a target date fund than Wealthfront), I gotta raise my hand here and point out the absurdity of this argument against proportional fees. Wealth management is like any business-- a combination of fixed and variable costs. And like many businesses, it amortizes those fixed costs against basically a variable fee structure because the value of the service to the customer (debatable as it may be for some investment products) is proportional to the account size.
It's not an SV vs WS thing. Nobody charges according to the marginal cost of the service. Why does Airbnb charge a percentage of the rental cost? Why does Uber get a percentage of the fare? Why does the restaurant charge me the same for a burger at 10pm as a burger at 7pm (after all, the staff are already being paid for the day and ingredients already purchased)?
It might sound good to say "hey, the software's not working any harder so the marginal cost is zero", but that doesn't work in almost any business.

> If we solve NP-complete efficiently then we may break TSP and all sorts of magical optimisation problems joyously drop out of the sky at our feet. It is not clear if this would also break integer factorisation and thus RSA, but perhaps it might.

Not true. Factorization is NP, so having a fast way of solving NP-complete problem would yield a way to solve factorization as well.
On the contrary it is not known to be NP-complete (and is believed to not be), so solving factorization in polynomial time would not help with other NP problems.
Looks like a bunch of harmonic drive gears in a row. Every industrial robot contains a couple of these.
There is no such thing as CISC or RISC anymore, what with micro ops.
true, but to be fair, you'd probably also want to introduce variables like $addPhotoBtn, $tweetBtn, $textLengthLbl, etc, to avoid css queries on every keyboard change. That would add to solution length and also introduce a bind-step to avoid stale variables after a dom change.

Also, there's the authors very well-placed point that adding a new feature may lead to css query refactoring, eg. when $("textarea") doesn't cut it. I find html refactorings to be nb 1 cause for breaking progressively enhanced solutions like this one, probably bc I suck at naming elements.

Lastly, it should be noted that this refactored solution does not contain all the features of the final react solution.
>Isn't it possible that they automatically send the claims, but manually go over the counter claims? //

That's entirely possible but the company making the claim that they owned copyright is committing a [serious IMO] fraud and should be punished severely for it. If copyright infringement is a such a crime as the corporate world tries to suggest then false claim on copyright is far worse. The company knows that they will get false positives but continues.

One reason it's worse than mere infringement is it's an attempt to deprive either the public domain or the original owner in order to make financial gains whilst mere infringement is usually just for use. It's much closer to theft than plain infringement as it seeks to deprive the owner (or public domain) of the enjoyment (i.e. use or licensing) of the work whilst mere infringement generally does not.

AFAIK such fraudulent claims to ownership are not treated at all harshly in IP law? This is a case where it should be considered criminal [rather than just as a tort] as generally it's the action of a larger organisation against a content creator - the state should protect its citizens particularly when there are such imbalances of power.
