My Apple TV, Chromecast and Xbox all use wifi flawlessly (with an Airport Extreme). I think your logic is outdated.

It could be a long series of successful monogamous relationships. Not all good relationships last a lifetime.

Of course they lost the ability to have wanted pregnancy which is a pretty serious loss for some people.

The issue is similar to the black swan phenomenon. Publishers are deciding what will sell based on what sold in the past, but the next great surprise success almost definitively has to be different than those in the past. You need some ability to inject books into the system which don't fit the historical mold.

The best way to do it is probably For publishers to also publish books they think are good, even if they're prospects aren't great. Most will fail, but a few will win big. In a way, it's just like venture capital.

Maybe we need a venture publishing industry.

Yet they've managed to massively raise their r&d expenses.

The general consensus is people need to be laid off to cut costs. He hasn't done that.

You're wrong because we all get the joke, and are over it. It's a very conscious branding choice to label themselves as counterculture and edgy. It won't appeal to everyone, but it clearly is a conscious marketing choice, and you'd have a hard time saying their marketing isn't going well.

I think your time would be better spent telling MetRx or Ensure to change their names, considering they are brands which are not very successful at capturing the market Soylent is dominating (the bottled-nutrition-by-choice market).

As far as I can tell their only issue is quality control and customer communication, changing their name wouldn't fix either.

How would CloudFlare know it's a static site?

Can someone explain why notifying the device of exercise and eating is necessary? Is it because 5 minutes is too low of an interval, or because the glucose sensor is slow, or because the body relies on other eating and exercise cues to regulate insulin.

Cloudflare has a pretty simple policy. They only censor content when they legally have to, or when it's child porn. That actually opens them up to a lot of heat from people who aren't big fans of the KKK, the Westboro Baptist Church, or botnets. BUT they don't specifically allow botnets as a weird method of promoting them, it's a widely applied policy.

I would bet things would be a fair bit easier for them if they agreed to take things down which most people don't like, but from my position they are taking a very principaled stand for free speech. Are people on hn actually arguing we want more censorship on more places on the web?

Yes, but that's a decision for a judge to make, not a private company.

I can almost guarantee CloudFlare will offer to step into the breach.

In general, Chrome fires setTimeout and setInterval slower when a tab isn't focused. Could it be that?

The Slack/GitHub model is to sell visibility to the company. X of your employees are using this, do you want to know how? Do you want an SLA? PCI compliance? $100k/yr.

Eager | Boston/Cambridge, MA/Remote | Full-time/Part-time/Interns Eager (https://eager.io) is a way for non-technical website owners to use all of the open-source and SaaS tools developers use every day. Think of it like an app store for things which make websites better. For developers, we are the Heroku for code which gets deployed onto websites. If you like writing JS/CSS and the idea of building reusable open source components is interesting to you... If you like writing Go and would like to work on the twenty or so microservices which power our infrastructure... If you are interested in working on Marketing/Growth/BizDev in a growing startup which is aiming to change the way thousands of SaaS companies reach their customers... Please reach out, I'd love a chance to chat with you about what we're doing and what you're looking for -> zack@eager.io

They have plans to land a Dragon on Mars in 2018. They have the vehicles they need.

The vast majority of what you learn in a CS program was published in the 50-70s. Just because it's a little outdated doesn't mean there isn't a lot to learn. Also, don't forget that you can always change schools, as hard as it might seem, it can be the right call.

In my experience Go is a better choice than Node for reliability and stability reasons, rather than performance most of the time.

In some countries (Australia for one) it is illegal to do electrical work on your house if you're not a licenced electrician. I don't agree with that, but it is a position some people take clearly.

He's a writer. He used this situation to write an essay examining the literary industry. Like all good writing, there are many valuable things which could be taken from his (well executed) writing. Personally, I found some interesting parallels in how the venture capital industry works, and it helped me to conceptialize how those concepts extent into other fields.

It was written as a blog post because we were the true audience, not Alan.

Why do you avoid third-party libraries?

You can keep anything running if you are willing to put in the work. You just fix what you can, replace what you can find, and manufacture what you can't. It becomes much more tricky doing it under the auspices of an FAA airworthiness certificate though.

Because the regulatory system which keeps planes safe also makes it paralyzingly slow to keep them up to date. If plane tech is always 20 years behind what is possible, it's not shocking they don't have continuous tracking.

There are also other historical reasons. It's traditionally the job of the pilots in the plane to keep track of its position, meaning giving them GPS was more valuable than giving position information to the ground. The US is just getting to the point where air traffic control can get GPS from planes, and that is based on ground stations which won't work over the ocean.

Which leads to the final issue, the outdated nature of the rocketry industry (and the intrinsic difficulty of getting to space), has made it very expensive to launch the satellites you need for worldwide communication. They exist, but they are much more expensive than any other way of communicating. Which means, if the airlines can piggyback on ground based comms (which they can), there's not much incentive to make that work over the ocean. Until you lose a plane.

If you need a way of deploying a Hugo site, I highly recommend Stout [1].

That seems like a decent policy if the resources are truly so limited.

In my experience you can change an element with a Mutation Observer before it is rendered.

This is a little weird to me, because it's so easy to host your site a multitude of different ways. The notable thing about GH is its free, which makes complaining about it not having the one feature you want so odd. If you want that feature, pay the buck or two it will cost to host your site on CloudFront with something like Stout [1].

I think any sort of safety-related recall is going to be a net PR loss for Tesla. Immaterial means the cost is irrelevant, not that it's low. I don't see any evidence that it's anything more nefarious than what they're claiming.

Remember that the most at-risk students were being selected for the program. It's possible that the education helped a bit, but was ultimately outweighed by the negative factors which made them at-risk to begin with. If so, it would substantiate the idea that the success or failure of education starts in the home.
