Titor claimed that he was sent back to obtain an IBM 5100 because it could translate several types of computer code. According to IBM engineer Bob Dubke, Titor's statements regarding the IBM 5100's little-known ability to emulate and debug mainframe systems were correct.

Here's just a few examples of listings with mostly fake reviews:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DN9UKHC

Most top listings are saturated with fake reviews. If you want to understand the depth of the fake listing problem, look at the thousands of people trying to create new listings in high-competition markets. Search Amazon for:

    "silicone oven mitts"
    "bamboo cutting board"
    "meal prep container"

Click any result, then scroll down to the "Sponsored Products" section for that item. Repeat this, really dig down into the "sponsored" lists. Notice the amount of copiers.

Now look at the reviews. For new sponsored products in these categories virtually all of the entries are from review-mill programs. There can be hundreds of fake reviews on a single listing. Many of the negative reviews you may see on these are fake as well, from competitors!

Review-mill programs work by having the reviewers buy the product through amazon (they are reimbursed or discounted). Then they do a write ups. Many are short and organic looking, the more easily spotted ones contain lots of text and multiple photos of the product.

Completely agree with this. I think there is an analytics blindspot underpinning it. We don't measure the amount of people inclined to just close the tab when they see this, or the negative sentiment it incurs. We might see a nominal rise in email addresses from bots and other braindead folks who fill in these forms, but the negative effect isn't measured.

It is already the case that employee option agreements don't start dispersing options until at least one year. Two for some.

This isn't about changing who deserves to get options, it's about making sure those who get them are likely to get actual the value from them.

I think the "Mars in 3" days comment is just for scale, not a serious proposal.

This is more about getting probes to whiz past other solar systems. As obviously, you can't stop the craft.

I agree, that's a great way of putting it.

willing or eager?

Management will always want to hire the young ones simply because they are easier to control and have lower salaries.

It would be great if this starts to change as the swell of tech workers hired to work on internet and mobile products in the past 2 decades starts age into their 30's / 40's / 50's.

In that analogy Heroku buildpacks are more like the boot the police put on your car.

Heads up blank page for docs on custom types: https://ottoproject.io/docs/apps/custom-plugin

Eagerly waiting to see what goes there eventually - very exciting!

Also, will there be a way to create custom Infra Types?

This sentiment is heard too often. It comes more from xenophobia and propaganda than from reality. In reality China is about as duplicitous as we are.

The #6 complaint on "server-side rendering" calls the rest of the article into question. This illustrates a fundamental "missing the point" of either Angular or React. Client-side templating is one of the essential ideas.

Tunneled bombs were used in a major way in WWI too.

    In January, 1917, General Sir Herbert Plumer, gave orders
    for 20 mines to be placed under German lines at Messines. 
    Over the next five months more than 8,000 metres of 
    tunnel were dug and 600 tons of explosive were placed in 
    position. Simultaneous explosion of the mines took place 
    at 3.10 on 7th June. The blast killed an estimated 10,000 
    soldiers and was so loud it was heard in London.

The craters are still there and form ponds in the fields where the battle took place.

Your opinion.

Having seen this crop up on reddit before, with no novel or technically plausible ideas suggested, I have to say, Hacker News delivers :)

In fisrt (2?) novels of The Baroque Cycle there is a section explaining this system and character who uses it as a trader. Wall street floor traders use(d) their own system for quickly flashing round numbers in ranges higher than ten http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xRJQ7X06g_I/TgyPveGUbqI/AAAAAAAAAl...

Kind of cool. I imagine the author is around here somewhere - have you seen cola.js? [http://marvl.infotech.monash.edu/webcola/]

interesting to think of what kind of interfaces can be created out of stuff like this.

Hey I love your app by the way.

My experience working through ember and ember CLI versions was that it was tedious and time consuming as well. It is not stable software and fixes don't happen or don't happen fast (so many utterances of the word "months" in the ember world).

Lots of marketing though. It's not really backwards compatible, they just like to claim things like that. If you say it doesn't work, well you must be doing it wrong. Very typical of Emberjs.
