Actually, this is where I stopped reading because in my opinion the author gets it exactly backwards.

Engineers need to build things with safety thresholds. Most devices will probably experience situations where it is accelerating at a greater rate than just that due to gravity. Engineers work in a messy world without controls and try their best to deal with non-ideal scenarios. They live in a world where a cow often cannot be idealized as a sphere. Because of this, the precise acceleration often doesn't matter, what matters is that the device works exactly within some range of operating environments. Only in cases of metrology do engineering devices need precise measures of external factors.

Meanwhile, scientists need precise measurements of environmental influences because they seek to eliminate them from experiments. otherwise, the signal cannot be distinguished from the noise. That is why the mass of an electron is known to an exaggerated precision, not because an engineer needs to build a device for it, but because (gross simplification) the precision is needed to be able to subtract electron related signals from the Higgs boson signal.

Yanis Varoufakis' first interview since resigning
MiniDisc does indeed sound considerably better than iPod even when comparing MP3 at 320 kbps with MiniDisc SP at 292 kbps and there are several reasons for this including the quality of the later versions of the ATRAC codec itself and the fact that better quality components were used in the manufacture of MiniDisc players than are used in iPods.
MiniDisc players were effectively designed and built by companies that specialise in high quality audio equipment whereas iPods were designed and built by a company that is an expert in computing.
Many other MP3 players on the market are built very cheaply indeed and are often worse in sound quality to iPods.

Even if companies wanted to do the right thing and keep the overall pay constant (history would suggest otherwise), because of the way benefits like healthcare are treated by the tax system, getting rid of benefits would make all employees worse off - basically more of your income would go in tax. I don’t think this is an ideal outcome.
Back in grad school we used the Inferno OS as a learning tool. I don't remember too much about it, but I do remember using Limbo (precursor to Golang) and liking it quite a lot. When Go came out it was really easy to pick up due to my time mucking around Inferno using Limbo.

My NLP is not top notch :D. I figured that getting the parsing intuitive would be doable given the relatively narrow field, but I was proven wrong :) The result is that you need to learn the syntax a bit before it feels intuitive.

Regarding your specific examples: You need "in _zone_ new york" ATM. I think 'weeks' is missing simply as the result of an oversight :/ Thanks for the QA.

I don't think the role of Aruba (the Italian ISP involved) was the one of the innocent third-party ISP. IANAL, but as far as I know, there is no "secret court" that can ask them to do that.

They did it not because of a break (or so I understand, I'll be happy to be mistaken) but, probably, "to keep the Man quiet". While understandable (to a point) this is definitely not what an "innocent third party" will do.
I see this as Mozilla basically admitting that the extension model has failed; this is a textbook example of an extension, but they've decided that's not good enough.

Yup. They're distinct types, but mentally they are the same (and the standard library has functions to convert between the two forms).
As a good passenger you want a way of being able to tell the driver this. Uber lets you in effect do this, but there is nothing stopping the taxi industry copying the same process. If they did they would give uber a real run for its money.

We do something similar with Nix (https://www.nixos.org). We have a CI server (Hydra) which creates a closure containing our software and all its dependencies, which we then upload to a network of AWS machines that are created with a few python scripts.

This works fairly well, but from experience we do need to keep an SSH setup on the machines. Just last week we had a load spike on a production server which was caused by a software bug, triggered by a usage pattern that was unexpected and not covered in our tests. If we did not have SSH (and access to the CLI tools on that machine) we would not have been able to debug this unexpected problem. I guess what I'm saying is that as long as software has bugs and hardware has glitches, we'll sometimes need access to low-level tools which can help us figure out the cause of these unexpected scenarios.
This may be a strange and off-topic question but may I ask what you do for a living?

It's still a bit silly, I can plug my smartphone in the same PC and have a completely un-monitored network link.. So instead of having /some/ sort of control on traffic if their firewall was not rendering the link useless for a lot of case, they get people (I see them) doing just that.

It's not security, it's security-by-the-checkbox, that doesn't prevent them having the whole intranet on a single shared drive, use outlook, flash, java etc etc. Oh, and such a braindead password policy (like, 6 of them) that everyone has to keep them on postits anyway.
Does app development(iOS and Android) with React Native really worth?
From last few weeks I am hearing about buzz of developing iOS & Android apps with React Native and heard that FB is pioneering this way of development.Even I went through a tutorial and honestly it didnt excite me much.So I am confused a bit & chose HN for better understanding of this buzz.So Firstly I want to know limitations of React.js in app development from you guys.Honestly I want to reject it but I want to know concrete reasons from fellow developers.If you guys think its really worth then plz share obvious reasons for your belief in React.

I am an iOS developer.
Science is commonly defined as usage of scientific method. So science is just trying to find truth with the best possible tools. Nothing more and nothing less. I think here is the common and problematic misconception. Scientists are saying "look, we used the best tools" and people are hearing "hey, we found the truth!". But science is not about the destination, it's all about the journey.

Engineering lacks such rigid definition. I've thought about it a lot, and I think deep down engineering is always optimization.

If you invent a new need for people and fill it with a toy, that would be marketing. But if you solve previously solved problem better, that's engineering. You got closer to the optimum, even though the way you solved might be described as "invention". So engineering inventions would be just leaps in optimization.

Now if you optimize economical or cultural stuff, that would not be engineering. So engineering is "optimization of technology".

I do not think "engineering" as a term should be expanded to the fields this article suggests. The term started off as "art of building of siege engines". And so far we don't have "sales-engineering". It's called marketing and it works pretty good considering there is big human factor everywhere. Medicine is good term too. These fields are just naturally more difficult to squeeze accurate data out.

I think the best model how to deal with the human factor comes from medicine. Rigorous meta-analysis is pretty solid. If we import the way tech or natural science is researched, that would be: "just use better instruments and measure more carefully". Which is pretty obvious dead. Because you will just get more expensive studies that still disagree with each other.

Thanks for sharing!

I'm curious though: what would a game engine like Phaser offer over general-purpose web app frameworks for building turn-based games (other than maybe performance)?

I've been toying with the idea of a turn-based co-op rogue-like using web technologies. I was considering just using some React-based framework and lots of fancy custom CSS to build it, since it leverages my existing knowledge and experience much better.

A better alternative is to kill entire servers every once in a while and reprovision them. That way, console access effectively becomes read-only, since any changes will soon be lost, but you can still debug stuff.

Firstly you're talking about React Native and at present there is no Android version, so you can only develop iOS applications using React Native. And although the name is shared with React.js and some of the conventions, you actually don't write React.js code to write iOS applications. It's not a write once, deploy everywhere kind of deal.

I have been building an iOS application using React Native and the performance is great (on account it maps to native Objective-C) and it feels like the future. It isn't just like a Phonegap application where it is run within a web container, so you get the native performance. If you already know Objective-C and or Swift, I wouldn't bother with React Native to be honest. RN is good for non-programmers to build iOS and eventually Android apps.
Randomly rewriting a file that mysqld has open seems a lot more dangerous than restarting mysqld. What if that was e.g. where mysqld was batching up query results before streaming them to the client? Now you've not merely had a query fail, you've silently sent back incorrect results.

If you can't restart mysqld you have an architectural problem. Your database will go down sometimes and your system should be built to tolerate that.

"Applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine, and only code written in C, C++, and Objective-C may compile and directly link against the Documented APIs"

Steve Jobs also wrote some emails on the issue [2], but by September 2010 and following a potential Federal Trade Commission investigation, the clause had been removed again [3].

Your position assumes that if a skill is not profitable it is not worth doing. I respectfully disagree with that premise. Who knows what kind of potential we are letting waste away because, due to lack of circumstance, resources and connections, it's not profitable to exploit it? I believe that by giving everyone a guaranteed minimum livable income, in turn freeing them from the shackles of wage-slavery, we would unlock an as yet unknown potential in humanity and foster an age of unrivaled innovation unlike anything we have seen up until this point. With the technology we have, one person can change the course of the future, yet we are content to let clearly qualified and skilled people flip burgers (edit: roll burritos in this case)? That's like running a company and confining your CTO mopping the floors all day.

> encouraging Congress to pass laws is not in any way police work

Who said it was? Police work is obtaining evidence while respecting the Constitution. As technology changes, Congress and the courts must redefine exactly how that can be done, and the police participate in that discussion.

The fifth amendment guarantees the right not to be a witness against oneself. It doesn't guarantee unbreakable encryption.

That said, I don't think Congress can stop criminals from using encryption and I don't think Congress should stop law-abiding citizens from using encryption.
I am dealing with a bipolar disorder since I was 16. After an episode of total motivation and some kind of reckless/risky behavior (cutting off friends because they "do not fit" anymore, excessive exercising whatever interest you in this moment and so on) a depressive episode is following, taking you and your motivation down.
Dealing with depression is hard and it gets even harder when your social life and work performance is suffering because that takes you down even more. Also, eventually reduce your amount of work and consider taking a day off for a a consecutive amount of weeks. When you trust your boss, talk to him. Executives are also humans!

Some people mentioned doing sports and in my opinion, this is one of the most helpful things one can do. Running a mile maybe one or two times a week can clear your mind from lots of negative thoughts and make you feel happier. In addition to that, some people like Yoga/Pilates to calm down and rearrange themselves.
After all, the very most important step is getting professional help! Depression can influence your whole life and it is always good to have someone who is listening.

Summarized:
- Get professional help
- Do sports
- Write down what you feel
- Reduce stress
Yeah, it is the quietest one. But more people than you think do way too much online gambling.

Elon Musk’s Sun Valley Message Lost on Some Mogul Attendees
Somewhere in the infrastructure there has to be mutable servers - databases and log servers at the least. I can't think of many architectures where everything can be a closed appliance.

Are they suggesting that every time you need to apply a security patch, you'll have to build a new server and cut your traffic over to it? That sounds like a lot of DNS and Load Balancer config updates (mutable!) even if the newly patched server builds are 99% automated.

The idea of black-box appliances has been around a long time, and it has its place in the modern infrastructure, but I'm not sure it really solves the problems they are trying to solve (which sound more like change management issues).

I think it's quite possible that AirBnB themselves didn't get the "AriBnB story." I don't know though.

To really compress (and make assumptions) I think they went from a sort of "coach surfing for fun and profit" to "holiday rentals" as their central point. They still do the full spectrum, but I think the Air mattress end is pretty small now.

I think the take aways for trying to pick winners are:

(1) Execution and steering the ship are everything. They were not the first startup to try this sort of thing. The idea itself was a dime a dozen, like many others. App for calling taxis. Classifieds. Restaurant reviews. Online profile. Video sharing site. These are all pretty banal ideas. Lots of attempts were made at all of them. Picking winners is about picking a winner, not picking the race.

(2) Try to see "markets" as their full spectrum. High end, low end. Business, consumer. Freaks, mainstream. Coach surfing is a different place on the same spectrum as Hilton. Startups often move up and down spectrums much more easily than mature companies. Tesla could make a budget car next. Jaguar can't. AirBnB can handle mansion rentals for billionaires. Grindr could probably pivot to over 50s Catholic matchmaking easier than one might think.

The issue with Greece is that they were given money and they did not change anything, they just kept spending. Giving them more money is just going to delay the inevitable - they will go bankrupt, full stop. They don't produce enough of "what people want", plus they spend more than they can afford to, and that's that. The real problem is that the Eurozone has no mechanism to deal with bankrupt. There should be an easy way out of the Eurozone or an "easy" way to default. Italy will follow Greece, sooner or later, maybe Portugal and who knows, even France. We have to deal with the fact we have broken public spending all around Europe and that will catch up, if not now, in 5, 10, 15 or so years. But markets adapt to this king of stuff, they will soon build default risks in their prices and demand higher interests, on the other end, when a country default, we will be able to leave the loss to the private sector and not to the tax payers, which is the real shame in all this story.
It seems much more non-trivial than that. A signal in one brain seems to induce learning how to create that signal in another. (In my understanding of the article)
