Now TSLA is up 21% (67.90 last trade)

What happened to the original title "Unreal JavaScript"? The biggest focus of the article is emscripten, not asm.js.

Retina macbook pro early 2013, chrome 26. Zooming some of the plots is noticably slow (and zooming out of the Hopf Bifurcation plot occasionally causes chrome to stop responding)

How does this compare to raphael (http://raphaeljs.com/) ?

None of your statements contradicts points from my comment, my post, or the coding horror post. If you are releasing code and not putting in a license or doing so improperly, don't expect others to use it. CH focused on one facet (missing a license) while I focused on a different facet (how to add a license properly)

"... will we have to endure over the next month"

So long as people click on those pages, everyone with even the most minute point will write to their hearts' content. I'm surprised that this page didn't have a million ads on it

There are proper keyboards for the ipad (this is being typed on a logitech ultrathin keyboard ipad cover)

I haven't tried the surface version of office, but the web versions of office definitely lack features compared to the desktop versions (for example, array formulae)

It's better to be safe than sorry, as the saying goes. I've never been burned personally. I'm also pretty sure that anyone working for a large software company is warned about using third party code or snippets found on expertsexchange or stackoverflow or random blogs.

Normally people are well intentioned, but sometimes you stumble upon repos with very strange licenses (for example, a javascript repo that has operating system restrictions https://github.com/stephen-hardy/xlsx.js/issues/8 ).

It's usually not of a concern for most people working on small projects (after all, another party has to notice and then decide to take action), but if you are trying to enter an industry with a highly litigious incumbent then you should make sure your ducks are in a row first.

I wish licensing was emphasized more in this discussion.

Including a license is the #1 reason myself and many other people stray away from code on the internet. I won't touch a project if it's not stated properly.

And to be clear, just writing that your project is MIT licensed or sticking it in a package.json or making a small remark in your README doesn't cut it. You need to follow the terms of the license you wish to use (my comment on the matter: http://blog.nig.gl/post/48848761220/just-saying-something-is...)

(always a good read: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/04/pick-a-license-any-...)

Unfortunately, the situation has only gotten worse in 2013

To clarify: it is an excise tax and applies to the _gross sale price_, not the profits (so even if the division runs at a loss, they still have to pay). http://www.irs.gov/uac/Medical-Device-Excise-Tax:-Frequently... I'd agree with your skepticism if it were affecting net (after employee salaries etc).

> And besides, it doesn't invalidate the ethical point that it is right to privide medical insurance, even if true.

Your original point was "There are no good reasons to be against the Act", so my response was pointing to a reason why someone would be against the act: I'm pretty sure that being laid off due to a regulation is a pretty good reason to be unhappy

There are many americans working at medical device companies that will be affected by the 2.3% medical device tax. Zimmer, for example, cited the medical device tax as the reason for firing a thousand workers a few years ago.

"an accomplished CEO admitting to a mistake earns 'em more karma and credibility than not."

To you, maybe. To investors? Absolutely not.

Some people are incapable of introspection. Sadly, including some of the more active people on HN.

"I have a problem with hypocrisy."

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one :)

Someone clearly cares deeply about HN karma. Not sure why he cares so much.

The verdict is in: Business Insider is blogspam (ghostery 17, disconnect 24)

Some distros store the words file in /usr/dict/words. Debian (and ubuntu) uses /usr/share/dict/words

Ultimately the only question that matters is how much money was made. Dwelling on fantasies is immaterial (until you can sell or find a way to lock in the price, the market price has no bearing on your actual value).

In your example, you can say whatever you want about how it was worth more than you actually netted, but at the end of the day all that matters is the fact that you realized 16K

"I am bewildered at the hostility, and going away to try to understand it. I feel a bit like I've been kicked."

IF there's any hostility, it's directed at people and acts that are seen as inconsistent: You point to the rule that says "Please don't post on HN to ask or tell us something ... If you want to say something to us, please send it to info@ycombinator.com. " after you made a post telling them that the site is having issues.

"More, I figured that most of the other times something goes wrong at least someone posts to HN asking, and no one had done so."

That's not an excuse for you to do something which, as you pointed out, violates a rule.

"I was half hoping to head off the usual flood of posts that something was wrong and let there be just the one place,"

Incidentally there is one place that did head off the usual flood of posts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5650171 Are you complaining that it wasn't your post that was the one place?

Depends on what you mean by stock options. I imagine quite a few people here trade single-stock (e.g. AAPL https://www.google.com/finance/option_chain?q=NASDAQ%3AAAPL) options.

"NH visitors should be protected from words, which starts from "p" and ends with "orn"."

popcorn? preworn?

Are any of the porn sites larger than youtube?

trigger-happy, i guess. Given that "Porn" definitely implies a much larger scale than merely "video streaming", I think the title change does a disservice

"at the time no one else had reported problems"

How do you know others didn't do the right thing (by emailing info@ycombinator.com) ? AFAICT emails sent to the address aren't publicly available.

As we have seen time and time again, internal consistency is for the plebeians

I'd recommend you review what happened last time a mod edited a post involving CoinBase: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5428387
