They have the same upvotes because they were submitted at the same time. They were submitted at the same time because they were both just posted on the AWS blog. People are watching the AWS blog right now because there's an AWS conference happening right now, and new product announcements happen at conferences. There's a large segment of HN users that are interested in AWS and other infrastructure topics, and would upvote both stories. I'm one of them; I upvoted them from the /new queue when both were at 2 points. I don't work for Amazon and never have. You see the exact same pattern during Apple's conferences, Microsoft's conferences, etc.
Why Amazon and not solutions from other mobile-focused platforms?

When I visit Greece, I find it very surprising how little my relatives eat per meal.

I think at the end of the day, we're just going to find that calorie in, calorie out is what's really going on here. Sure, heavy eaters binge on carbs or fats or whatever, but that's not the root problem here. Its our portions and snacking culture that might be the real culprits.
I am curious about how does it compare to streaming loads? It is a common technic to avoid cache misses when you have a large number of registers, you can issue loads in advance, by-passing the cache, and the CPU will manage the data dependency in HW. The idea is that hopefully when the you will use the register, its data will already be available. Otherwise you stall as usual.
6 Collections That Will Let You Time Travel to the Future of Work
Because most people of any culture can't stick to restrictive diets [1]. Restricting calories is ultimately the goal - how you do it is largely irrelevant, outside of eating mostly whole, unprocessed foods. When you apply further restrictions, people (up to 66% of them) rebound and gain the weight back (or more).

Yeah, let's split Greek into two countries and micro manage their regimes for a few decades.

Just some research studies on the metabolic effects of saturated fats that might prove interesting:

Overfeeding Polyunsaturated and Saturated Fat Causes Distinct Effects on Liver and Visceral Fat Accumulation in Humans. http://diabetes.diabetesjournals.org/content/early/2014/02/1...

Substituting dietary saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat changes abdominal fat distribution and improves insulin sensitivity. http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00125-001-0768-3

Saturated fat stimulates obesity and hepatic steatosis and affects gut microbiota composition by an enhanced overflow of dietary fat to the distal intestine. http://ajpgi.physiology.org/content/303/5/G589

I would love to look at counterpoint articles if you have any.
I agree that's a possibility, and it's the obvious concern. I'm trying to challenge our (mine included) common notion.

My 'radical idea' is that maybe they would exist. What if we had a system that provided a payment mechanism but did away with IP restrictions, for example? Consider how most of science is funded and shared, for example. Massive projects like the LHC and space probes are funded, and their data is openly shared. I'm not saying that the exact same system would work for software, but that there are other systems that work very well.

I'd expect that with 'open' technology, innovation would be faster and products would be better, as everyone could use and learn from best-in-class tech.

There are plenty of examples in other frameworks, e.g. sometimes view helpers in Rails output HTML. In certain situations it helps you write much cleaner code and it's easier to make more complex view components. Rails form helpers output HTML.

Simple problem. You have annoying neighbors (or anyone for that matter). You have complaints, anger and hate you wish to vent to them without disrupting the peace. You tell us the complaint and we hand write it in a letter and ship it out. I thought of going a step further and doing the whole harry potter send mass letter thing to really get the point across but to keep it simple i left it out (it's available upon request).

I want to deliver more value with it to better help people deal with annoying neighbors so if you have ideas - share!

This is one of the important reasons for my general vague libertarianism. Governments can be wrong, markets can be wrong, individuals can be wrong, clubs can be wrong, companies can be wrong, all people and all elements of the powerset of all people can be wrong. (Except perhaps the null one, but it's also not known for being very right....) But the incentives for what happens next varies widely, and very-large-organizations have horrible horrible ones to double down, triple down, indefinitely keep throwing money on the number that keeps losing over and over, because they seem to inevitably settle on political structures that work that way.

I say "very large organizations" like it's one word because I fully consider "big business" and "government" to merely be two instances of that general problem, and I'm against both in general. It isn't really "government"... it's "the big organizations that humans tend to produce once you have an organization that is fully confident (rightly or wrongly!) that there is absolutely no meaningful threat to its continued existence". Large navel-gazing organizations are dangerous, in general.

One of the biggest features here, the virtual USB 3.0 controller, is closed source (as well as USB 2.0!). See:

Amazon has clones of several major services that haven't really gone anywhere...I don't think it will affect github all that much.
Obviously the situations aren't the same, but are you saying that Germany deserved more lenient terms in the late 1940s than Greece does now? It seems to me that we ought to be more lenient with the country that didn't just go out and kill a couple dozen million people in an attempt to conquer the world.
> What is perhaps more interesting, though, is whether Twitter ought to pursue an algorithmic feed

When Twitter introduces a default algo driven home timeline, instead of realizing that most of us power users are there because we want a raw reverse-chronological feed that "we" curate, I will no doubt leave or allow my account to become a zombie as my Facebook Profile has become these days.

A default algo driven timeline will be the final nail in the coffin for Twitter.
Netflix is trying to become a "high quality" content provider but I believe that the real value most customers are seeking is the vast amount of old (not necessarily low quality) content. Like you, they surf "reruns" in high quantity. The so called Netflix binge.

But the problem is they are killing the source of that content. Those cheap old shows were produced by networks. If netflix kills TV nobody is going to license them content.

But I'm not sure that Netflix's subscriber base is signed up for Netflix becoming another HBO. New content is expensive.

I also think the binge viewing of their original content is a bad idea. If I watch House of Cards in 2 days, it's out of my mind the other 51 weeks of the year. Something like True Detective is one for two whole months and people talk about it in real life and on social networks.

Amazon API Gateway – Build and Run Scalable Application Backends
I thought the linked article actually made the most convincing case I've seen yet for using React for "simple" UIs that you would normally build using jQuery. It demonstrates that even something simple like a tweet box (textarea, character countdown, a couple of buttons) benefits from the React methodology.
I'm ranking movies by critics ratings. Most of them have too low numbers, and thus naive bayesian ranking by avg does not work. IMDB gets away with it, but I cannot.
And you should be able to see a good preview of the expected ranking even with low numbers.

So you need to check the confidence interval with Wilson, but you also need to check the quality of the reviewer. There are some in the 90%, but there are also often outliers, i.e. extremities. Mostly french btw.

5 open source alternatives to Google Docs
I haven't gone through this page yet, but thank you for at least the attempt at reaching somebody in my state of affairs. Front End work is very hard. The front end design & what I would call the back-end front-end disciplines are supposed to meld together according to job postings and over-zealous recruiters, but it's a good deal more complex than I have been willing to put up with, mostly because of the materials to get started and the unintuitive tools that people who know what they are doing swear by.

Imagine being solid at design, pushing pixels, using HTML, CSS. Then suddenly these program frameworks which are created by back-end programmers not visual designers appear and the ramp up for the average technical person is immense. For me it's been enough to turn me off them all together and make it a talking point that "my javascript skills fall off at X,Y or Z" so recruiters and employers know that despite being able to do a lot, I can't suddenly become everything UI and everything back end just because the title of anything "front end" is so versatile.
>But the Greek economy has shrunk by a quarter. Its pensioners have been impoverished. Its banks are closed. That counts as suffering consequences. No sane government would emulate the Greek path.

>Greece has done little to address its endemic economic mismanagement. But it has few incentives to do so if the fruits of economic improvements will flow to its creditors.

So ........

I detect a contradiction between those two claims, that appears to go unaddressed in the article. Which is it? Does Greece have what to gain by improving things or not?
With all the US government pressure in this topic, and Syriza styled after Venezuela populists, I wonder why the US is not giving money to Venezuela but the EU should pay left populists.
I think there is value in doing single page apps but mostly for web applications not really for just a website. Still I completely agree that breaking the back button needs to be avoided.
The black economy is a symptom of the problem not the cause

8| What sort of weird alternate universe can this sort of statement come from? Are you claiming tax dodging would go away if there wasn't austerity? So, 8 years ago there was no tax evasion in Greece, or at least no more than average?
I might've been a bit too black-and-white with my comment, let me clarify...

Betterment seems utterly awesome. Truly a product I'd expect to see from an innovative fintech startup. Wealthfront did not.

It was clear that Betterment cared about making a beautiful consumer-driven product. It was also clear that they've spent some time reimagining how personal finance works. Simplifying it.

I also can't help but note that the fact that Betterment made me so excited (it really did) so quickly probably speaks very well of it. But then again, I'm a sample of 1.

(Incidentally, I read your HN profile and rather liked the story in your 'about')
>that didn't just go out and kill a couple dozen million people in an attempt to conquer the world.

Every country that has been a world power is pretty much guilty of this. Why aren't we picking on the English for the old empire or the thousands of wars and skirmishes on the continent between these powers? Or on the crusades? Picking on Germany is stupid and more Yanis Varoufakis-like hysterics. His over-the-top rhetoric and calling his own lenders "terrorists" is what's wrong with the world, not what's right.

Apparently, Greeks are willing to say or do anything except actually collect taxes and cut public spending. Thus far, Greece has been on the receiving end of historically generous loans.
I don't know. But you can look at the graph here: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/17/upshot/perceptions-havent-...

One possible interpretation is that the crime rate looked like it was starting to increase again immediately before the financial meltdown but then started to decline with the recession.
I think that is based on pretty crappy science. People who cut out refined carbs and sugar, yet eat a very high fat diet have healthy levels of triglycerides and LDL. The science is to the point that the only real danger of high fat diets is colon cancer. But adding fiber to the diet can offset those risks.

And of course people want mono and poly unsaturated fats, but they're more expensive and harder to eat in quantity than saturated fats.

Plus when I went on a high fat diet (nothing but fat, protein, fruit and vegetables), I cut my triglycerides and LDL in half, lost 40lbs, dropped my blood pressure to well into the athletic level, and felt better than ever before. All in 6 months.

[Edit to add personal note]
This should only be the case for the build server that creates the packages that get installed on production.
I don't see myself switching to this, but I'm glad it exists. After Google Code was shut down, it was clear that GitHub would remain miles ahead of any competition, making it the default choice for most orgs. That worries me quite a bit.

I think he is talking about smaller and less mature projects than Linux or BSD variants. Say you're a small developer who's spent years on a new platform that will power your social network with millions of people. You might want to keep it closed source for a few years and only release the source code to a select number of people until you've let security researchers take cracks a it. Once it's had a few years of battle testing, you can release it. As opposed to releasing the source code to your social network and making it 100x easier for anyone to come up with an exploit against your network.

In fact I'd say it might be better that a relatively new app (especially ANY APP that powers servers) to remain closed source until given the green light by security researchers. And even then...

Imagine if Facebook open sourced the code running their social network? I guess the question could equally be ... is there ever a social good from centralizing your social network and not letting it be distributed across all machines in the world?

I would say security.

Heres a documentary from German public television. The interesting part starts at 4:20. I hope you can hear the English language, it has been dubbed in German:

You're confusing "sophisticated" with "annoying or difficult to use". Boilerplate generators are annoying, and Valgrind is difficult to use, but they're unrefined: they solve problems that are best avoided than solved.

A better measure of sophistication is how much bang you get for the buck, and how much of this bang is made possible by the language itself.

In my opinion, the best example of this is GHCi: Using GHCi almost feels like asking the computer "Is what I'm doing right?". GHCi itself is made possible by Haskell's excellent balance between type system expressiveness and making inference feasible. To see why maximizing raw expressive power won't help, in most dependently typed languages, it's hard to construct nontrivial meaningful utterances, so you don't even get to the point where you can ask "Is what I'm doing right?" - the type checker will tell you "It isn't even wrong". That being said, I'm aware that the situation w.r.t. tooling is improving a lot.

Another example is Rust's borrow checker: It will tell you exactly at which point an equivalent C or C++ program would have had a dangling pointer. It doesn't quite have the same "fluid conversation" feel as using GHCi, but it saves the enormous amount of time that would've been otherwise spent chasing memory bugs in a debugger, especially in a concurrent program.

Ruby isn't defined by poor tools. Ruby is defined by a design that makes static analysis intractable. The lack of sophisticated tools is just a corollary.
Quite often operational losses aren't insured against this kind of error, for example the Knight-Ridder automated trading losses. Sufficiently big operational failures can just destroy companies, especially small companies.

System audits would have to be standardised. There's bits of this in ISO9001, PCI compliance, FIPS, and so on. But the technology changes rapidly and the insurance companies don't have the expertise.

Not from the customer front but on the operations front.

To clarify, even if you have an index, there must be enough liquidity to run a market where your index is trading. In the early days with less liquidity the company will need to pick up some of the orders. This at the end depending on the value proposition might turn out to be costly.

Interesting. I've never tried any one of these. I'm a solid Google Docs user.

Is anyone here using one of these tools regularly?
You can't be serious here? Bugs are introduced into software all the time. It's a sign of active development.

It's not the number of bugs that matters, or even the fact that new bugs get introduced over time - rather it's the severity of the bugs, how rapidly the bugs are realized, and ultimately how fast they are dealt with.

In this case, it appears to have been a pretty rapid resolution - ie. about 1 month from it being introduced, realized, and fixed.

A lot of folks like to lean on LibreSSL and cite "supposed problems" with OpenSSL, just as you have done now. This is a naive approach -- LibreSSL took OpenSSL, cannibalized and gutted it, and all sorts of new, untested, un-vetted code injected. OpenSSL was written largely by crypto specialists, where LibreSSL is mostly a bunch of grumbling developers, with little to no prior crypto experience.

There's a reason the world is not jumping on LibreSSL just yet. There's a reason foundations outside of the LibreSSL home (OpenBSD) such as the Core Infrastructure Foundation have not backed it -- it's simply not ready, is very unproven, and won't be for a long, long time, if ever.

Give OpenSSL a break. It works far better than nay-sayers want to let on, and has done so for almost 2 decades.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!

In all seriousness I typically work with a lot of designers; asking them to update markup in JSX versus HTML is simply not possible. It's not because they can't figure it out but it makes it more difficult for them to quickly test and they typically break JavaScript in many, unexpected ways. While I'm fine with the UI and business logic separation where UI can contain markup _and_ scripting, I don't think the answer is this awkward solution of shoving HTML into the scripting.
