Each release I'm as excited (or more) to read Siracusa's review as I am to actually try the new OS. Keep up the good work.

No. FASB changed revenue recognition principles in 2010 to allow this type of update.

It is explained in the article. But the Chinese government for various reasons wants to subsidize Chinese manufacturing. So they want to send those dollars they accumulate back to the United States. China wants to send th

Right. Your example sounds ridiculous because there is no logical connection between not stepping on a crack and your mother's life. To most people, there is a connection between airport scanners and airline safety. My point is that

I'm a huge critic of the TSA and would be thrilled to see it dismantled, but I always find these kinds of arguments a little intellectually dishonest. It could be that “terrorist threat groups present in the Homeland are not known to

It isn't even a nice visualization. You have to hover over a ball to find out the company? An old fashioned list that can be grouped by country or industry would communicate the information much faster.

Thomas Schelling [0] has shown that even if your most preferred neighborhood is a perfect mix of races, it is a dynamically unstable equilibrium (assuming that if the balance tips one way or the other, you prefer it to tip towards your own

Exactly. My reaction, and I imagine everyone's reaction, upon reading the headline was, "finally."

The NRA is a powerhouse because millions of Americans (and manufacturers) care enough about guns and the 2nd amendment to be willing to donate and pay fees to the NRA. Privacy? Not so much. But we do have the EFF. So donate!

I think most people would agree that this is dangerous and irresponsible and would not condone it. That said, it is still fun to read about the excitement and live vicariously through it. There's a reason why most people like Han Sol

My interpretation was that if you are reading HN in a terminal, you are probably procrastinating from work and therefore shouldn't get sucked in to the discussions that make this a great place.

I'm not sure, as I don't know IMAP very well. Is there a way that Google can send information about labels via the IMAP protocol without creating a duplicate message for each label? I guess they could add an email header with th

My vote is for option 3. I would really like something like IMAP, but have it embrace gmail style "labels" instead of folders. When you use IMAP with Gmail, each label creates a duplicate of the message in its appropriate IMAP fo

Great article about setting up a mail server, but the privacy claims seem a little dubious. Private email takes two. Running your own server won't do much good if all of your email exchanges are with people on gmail, hotmail, yahoo,

Do you mind detailing your notmuch setup a little? In particular, what frontend? I used notmuch with mutt and the search was so slow that I went back to Mail.app on the mac (and now back to sup).

Right. I think the way to think of it is that in the context of survival, gait speed is a convenient and easily measured sufficient statistic for all this other stuff.

I understand the spirit of your comment, but there should probably be a long list of things that scare you more than terrorism.

The problem with OpenPGP is that it only encrypts the contents of the communication. The identities of the sender and receiver, as well as the time and other info are still vulnerable. This communication "metadata" is exactly what the art

I think you're exactly right, but it is more than political/lobbyist/social pressure. Even if the fed knew there was a bubble, announcing so would coordinate everyone's actions and we would have a crash for sure. If they announce that the
