I met with George Grellas at Grellas & Associates yesterday about exactly this, it's potentially a huge benefit for founders, I believe it does require some small cash amount along with IP. I am in the process of creating an entity through Grellas & Associates and was going to pay extra to have the process expedited to take advantage of this tax benefit that I believed expired at the end of this month. Can someone please confirm that this has been extended through 2011 or provide a link? I haven't been able to find anything.
I never read this one but I can recommend on the topic of imaginary places: "Invisible cities" from Italo Calvino and "Labirinths" from Jorge Luis Borges.

These books were a must read when I was an architecture student. And if you are really into this topic you can also read "The poetics of space" from Gaston Bachelard.
The Soviet Union was, by definition, a "second world" country. First and third world do not mean "rich" and "poor". They refer to political alignment with the United States (first), USSR (second), or unaligned (third world).
No, it really doesn't, and you're blowing it out of proportion.

What "stupefying bugs" exist in Safari that aren't much more simply explained by Apple being something of a laggard when it comes to implementing web standards?
Been playing it. Works well.
"Participants will need to complete a binding job search agreement and must be willing to relocate for a job if they reside outside of selected cities."

Really? So basically you have no choice but to relocate if they can't place you in a job where you live.

Also, they never say what type of programming job they can give or if you have a choice on accepting the job or not. what if you graduate and they get you a job across the country that paying $50K a year? do you have to accept it or pay the tuition fee?

also the curriculum posted on the site, isn't that detailed on what you will learn.
IC... the article makes the distinction, I think, where common is that any individual can decide to use land to the extent not interfering with others, where collective requires the majority to decide. Is that correct?
and reliability.
Two years ago, Chinese Scientist Dr.He JianKui did a very similar thing. He edited the genome of twin girls so that they will be immune to the HIV-virus. By all account the project is successful. The announcement of this breakthrough causes a lot controversies. People are shocked and dismayed. Here is the link:

And suggesting that we try and squeeze cyclists onto already-overcrowded streets is any less ridiculous? I should have known that you're not allowed to speak ill of bikes here, jesus christ.
Not what you asked, but a digital version of the current Real Book does exist and makes common appearances on band stands! https://www.irealpro.com/
The Republicans control most of the statehouses, while the Democrats barely hold together a weak majority in Congress. I’m not sure I’d go so far as to say the right has a weak political position.
tmux will skip drawing text if it gets enough of it, it still maintains state but it waits to render it.
Presumably your birth name given to you by your parents. Describing it as "state given" seems intentionally misleading...
Sure it does. I don’t want paramedics prematurely giving up on saving peoples lives because there is fear of a lawsuit.

Software developers don’t have this fear, so we get to kill people through releasing buggy bloated applications without any fear of personal liability.
> But the thing that really puts me off about this interview and the WikiFeet website is the lack of consent.

A bit of a harsh, knee-jeek reaction to something entirely meaningless. Topped with a vague proposition of privacy in a public forum.

It's just feet. Unless someone knows you, your "privacy" isn't likely to be in peril from a site filled with feet.
"Embedded" is a property of how the box is deployed, not what's inside it. The lines are blurring because the word "embedded" has been overloaded with an interpretation it doesn't merit for too long. If you mean "bare metal", say "bare metal". Mind you, if you're going to argue "no OS at all" is part of the criteria, FreeRTOS and the like are banned, right?
Yes. Israel's Trump is single handedly responsible for this success.
First thought: oh shut up, you can kvetch about the meaninglessness of your vain, well-designed life after we've abolished poverty and death.

Second thought: the correlation between "not having ever really lived" and nonviolence is a false one. The actual issue is "capitalist realism": the increasing cultural hegemony of indoctrinating people to believe that the well-sterilized path of being someone else's worker bee is desirable in the first place (almost nobody in human history has ever actually desired it), and that it has always been this way (the vast majority of human history happened before Reagan and Thatcher, actually), and that there is no alternative except for primitive and nihilistic violence (then what happened throughout all of human history?).

Third thought: the correlation between our current lifestyles and depression may well be a causal connection for purely physiological reasons that have nothing to do with any purported meaninglessness of a nonviolent life.
I mean, they could also be agents, i.e., Americans acting on the behalf of a foreign power. I guarantee the Russians are at least encouraging this on social media. (Though I also believe this is predominantly a domestic problem)
Can't impeach if the capital isn't secure.
Sorry I didn't mean to imply that the anger component here was related to any specific party complaining about loss of political speech in a disingenuous way -- I was more attempting to diagnose the current overall bad state of the politics as being a result of the way that pressure is put onto "freeness" of speech when an authoritarian regime actively creates an engine that makes reasonable discourse difficult or impossible ...
Dang, this isn't a joke [1].

Nonsense. Again, not a dichotomy. You can have "thick skin", a strong sense of self, not easily be harmed by others' words and not be an asshole.
Mind sharing the micro benchmark you wrote? I’m curious to know how that would work
Interesting if true. Do you have a non-twitter source?
It's to be expected, with the public papers written on search and employees moving between them over time I'd imagine there algorithms would be quiet similar.
Yeah, all the doctors and med school students I've known, I think, would think it was pretty cool - I'm really wondering about how hard and how fast you'd get sued, though. This kind of service would really fill some serious needs out there.

Seriously, if anybody wants to handle the business end of this one, I am so on board with contributing both code and semi-informed lay medical opinions.
Awesome work on both the iPhone and iPad version :) I've been grumbling at everyone and their mother telling me about Etude because it's not an app for me, but it's certainly one I will and have recommended to friends that want to learn how to play a real piano. (And it's not for me only because I may suck, but I've been banging away at a piano for over ten years and can sight read most of the pieces in Etude in my sleep. Understandably I am not the audience for this app, a PDF reader with metronome is more suited to my needs... :) )
That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. Thanks.

> there's talk about $5-a-gallon

To put this into perspective, prices are nearly twice that here in Sweden: http://www.bensinpriser.nu/ and Germany: http://gasoline-germany.com/statistik.phtml

At 14.30 SEK/l, that is 8.80 USD/gallon.

"In the most recent issue of the NSA Technical Journal-Vol. XI, No. 1- Mr. Lambrox D. Callimahos discussed certain aspects of extraterrestrial intelligence and included several messages to test the reader's ingenuity. In the following pages, Dr. H. H. Campaigne offers additional communications from outer space."

Implication is that they're just "for fun"?

Further, the NSA Journal referred to is at: http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/nsa/extraterres...

Your startup is your new resume. Extremely productive programmers are being paid $1M a head in a talent acquisition plus salary with a 4 year lock in. That means that highly productive programmers are work $350k a year.

All you have to do is build your startup and get acquired to get that salary. :)
"Does this mean that Canonical either don't believe enough in Ubuntu Edge to raise the $20m difference themselves or that Canonical do believe in it but are not able to raise $20m?"

Given that Mark is a billionaire, he could put that amount of money with just a telephone call. In fact he has done that with Ubuntu as more than this amount has been given to Ubuntu by him over the years.

They were just testing the waters with this project. Mark always wanted to make an Ubuntu laptop so Ubuntu Edge does not surprise me. But the project has to sustain itself.

Entrepreneurs have this concept of "pivot": Mark last Mark's words: "and we’ve learned a lot of invaluable lessons about crowdfunding. ". I certainly believe they will pivot with what they learned somewhat in the future.
Yeah I was hopping on at least an extension of the campaign. Would have bought one. O well in the end I think it is better that a established manufacture releases a Ubuntu phone (I hope based on the edge) than that Canonical is handling warranty and all that :)
In fact you "feel" gravity all the time, even when you're not falling... in the mechanoreceptors in your feet.
Another day, another Asian gets the raw end of the stick.

"Pull yourself up by your bootstraps" they said. "Reach out and grab that American dream" they also said. So many of us listened and found a tiny slice of success in the academia despite being systematically opposed and ridiculed... and now what? We're somehow treated in the same vein as the 'oppressor' who have been enjoying their undue systematic advantage and our success must now be supressed?

We're still heavily underrepresented in Hollywood, most major sports leagues, the government, and practically most forms of leadership - yet we're finding ourselves constantly lumped in there as "whites and asians" when it's convenient for the narrative of racial inequality to construct a heart-wrenching story. Do people not see how backwards it all feels?
ok sure, but what if they paint it red?
I've noticed this too. I've got a paper coming up on the arxiv soon that discusses this phenomenon, and structured random architecture search, in the context of semantic segmentation networks.
Haha. Maybe not 20 years... though you are right. My dad was pissed when he had to have his boat and camper trailers lifted so they rode level on his new F350. The same thing all the neighbor farmers did too when they replaced their trucks with new ones.

They all still complain about getting in and out of the trucks when we go hunting together. Lol
It's more than a belief... the statistics bear it out.

Before pushing stuff like TOTP, we need to get everyone on board with using a password manager correctly. I use one and it's a quality of life improvement as well as a security improvement. I only have to remember one password, and I have all of my credentials on my phone and my browser. It's set to automatically lock after some minutes, so I'm secure most of the time. I just checked and I have over 100 passwords in my password manager, and there's no way I would be able to have a unique password for each one and remember them all.

It's a bit of an "eggs in one basket" situation, but given that people tend to use the same password everywhere, I see it as strictly a step up since it's much less likely for your password manager to be compromised (targeted attack in most cases) than for a site to be hacked.

Once everyone is using password managers consistently, then we can start to talk about TOTP and other 2FA tools, and at first only use it to secure the password manager.

Once we solve the password manager problem, most other problems go away. You don't need to reset passwords if you have it in your password database (your computer won't forget it). You don't have to come up with passwords that match some arbitrary set of requirements, you let your computer do that. If you get recovery codes, stick them next to your passwords in your password manager. If there's a breach, your password manager can likely tell you which accounts are affected, and you can just change those instead of every site that you use that password on.

So yeah, 2FA is nice, but improving how people use the first factor is far more important and actually makes peoples' lives easier.
That's due to necessity, not due to choice.
We're internally discussing the code release at the moment. Meanwhile, we did try to include all the details required to reproduce the results on the paper. You're welcome to try out your own implementation and ask us questions regarding the implementation details.
If Stallman wasn't a crazy hippy he wouldn't have been into this cause years before even the first dot.com boom.

Well, java is retarded, so the standard trick is to declare an array of size one and declare the array itself as final. So you can't change the array object but you're certainly free to change the object it contains. Stupid? As all hell. Makes static local classes much closer to closures, though, even if twenty times as lengthy to write.
I would have thought they would have printed them out on two overhead transparencies--one using the old purple copier toner, the other black--then you just overlay them and the differences visually 'pop'.
> Men tend to prefer shorter women, aesthetically.

Is there evidence to support this? Short women have numerical and biological advantages (e.g., earlier puberty) wrt to pairing and reproduction; but aesthetic preferences seem tied to ratios—waist-hip, leg-torso—that can hold for samples tall or short. Heels seem like a means for adjusting the observed leg-torso ratio of a sample to mask suboptimal genetic inputs and environmental effects; i.e., heels make legs look longer in proportion to overall body height.

Cannabis is (wrongly) Schedule I. Rescheduling drugs like marijuana is difficult; state-by-state workarounds are easy.

Laws in general are written to suggest the way they should work, but they way they do work is a lot different. For another example, it makes no logical sense to prosecute a juvenile "as an adult". But for practical reasons, a 15 year old murderer shouldn't be set free to roam the streets at 18, so we try them as an adult.
Sure, but I'm surprised by the "reversed" notation. Wouldn't it be

fib 0 = 1

in Haskell? I just felt that this order works well for pattern matching functions, but not as well in other contexts. No CS background here, by the way; maybe I'm just missing your point.
You didn't read the post, did you?
These institutionalised police have a long and sordid history of covering up crimes that would embarrass the places that employ them (to name a specific example, rape, has been VERY covered up by US University police).
Having gone through a fair amount of tech interviews, I really understand the author's point. On another point, I just wish recruiters would put the salary in the job offers. It would save everyone a lot of time.
I think people are unnecessarily scared of affirmative action. In the 1960's, law was 95% men. Sandra Day O'Connor could only get a job as a secretary at a law firm despite graduating third in her class at Stanford. After aggressive affirmative action, today the mostly even gender ratio in large law firms is completely self-perpetuating.

I think that teaches us two things:

1) It's foolish to jump to conclusions about the "natural number" of women in programming. If you equalize the ratio and it sticks when you remove the affirmative action, that's the natural number.

2) Affirmative action can work when it comes to gender issues, even if it has been less successful for race issues. I think that's because gender doesn't have heritable socioeconomic status like race. A girl is equally likely as a boy to be born into a family that can say afford college, but that's not true of say blacks and whites.
Should a site like HN get taken to court if someone dies from working 100 hour work weeks at their startup? Reading through many articles makes me believe that's what I need to do to succeed.
Where this is going is a clear showdown on a large number of levels. I wish I could be optimistic about this being resolved decisively for the good guys but I think most likely we are likely to see a codification of the same stalemate.

The NSA has created a large market for services like Silent Circle and this means that a larger number of wiretaps and the like are likely to "go dark" as a result of encryption. We need fully open source and federated versions of things like Silent Circle has and those will come about.

But this will lead to new battles about encryption and government access to encryption. As the people start realizing that everything is tapped by default, they will start protecting themselves.

Wiretaps were tolerated when we could trust in processes that would guarantee that they would not be abused. Now that we know that this trust has been broken there is no way to go back.

We will see two battles in the near future. The first will be a battle over the size and scope of the surveillance state. I fear the NSA will win that one hands down.

But the second is over government access to encryption backdoors. We have more reason to be optimistic here.

Things are shaping up to create a huge showdown. I, for one, am relatively afraid of the consequences even if we win the second battle.
I know how you feel. Gmail's interface has become incredibly complicated and every change feels like a step backward.

But as much as I don't care for Gmail's current interface, I can't and don't expect Google to support older web interfaces. If I really wanted interface consistency, I would run my own mail client.
> This is just a subset of the broader question of "why aren't there more women in tech?". I honestly think, in no small part, that the answer is "because the tech hobby community is so toxic to women".

I don't think that's the barrier you seem to think. If women really thought programming was a worthwhile way to spend their time, they would create their own software companies/clubs/whatever and enforce any behavioral and attitude rules they cared to have.

Can women program? Absolutely -- at least as well as men. Do women want to program? Apparently not.

> I really don't understand how people can be surprised women are systematically driven from the tech industry when their exposure of it is so constantly toxic.

Women are not being driven out of the tech industry, they're being driven out of male-dominated enclaves. Women don't like the testosterone-drenched parts of the business, and they don't care to create a more congenial atmosphere for themselves as they have in many other professions. No one knows why, but it's misleading and counterproductive to explain that women can't produce technically successful companies and environments because men won't let them. Men don't have that kind of power any more -- the only thing stopping women is women.

The bottom line is that gender equality is not something men give to women, it is something that women take, because it's their right. The only question is whether women will choose to do it.
I simply hit the home button, then restart the Web Clip.
If I really wanted interface consistency, I would run my own mail client.

That's what I do; in fact, I run one that's unlikely to change its UI much (KMail from KDE version 3, the Trinity Desktop Environment build).
I would not consider the change to be detrimental - while admitting that change is always a reason to complain.
With recent discussions of space debris problems, it's like seeing a rusted out Camaro parked in the middle of Yosemite.
Yeah, in my OP I was meaning the WWW specifically, so the things developed for use with the WWW (HTML, CSS, HTTP, etc.) Networking (TCP/IP, UDP, etc.) are not WWW specific.

Now having said that, sure I've seen some defence projects that make use of HTTP or have internal "web"sites for managing interfaces. It's even a trend for embedded hardware to have web management interfaces (your internet router/modem is a great example).

But when I say "web", of course I was really meaning user-facing/world facing websites. That seems to be the implication behind "front end developer". Not "I make front ends for building automation systems" but "I make front ends for websites hosted on the WWW". Requires a slightly different set of knowledge imo. One is tailored for looks and UX, the other is a trade-off between minimalism, efficiency, and usability (if only this was applied more to the major sites you see on the WWW now!).
This seems like a discussion that ends in us arguing about the validity of the concept of a human soul.
From what I understand, it is also commonly used to predict optimal poker plays.
