That's a thing actually. The IEEE code of ethics specifically forbids lying about technology. If I receive a national security letter about a technology issue, do I have to quit the IEEE? Can I explain to them that I have taken an earlier oath and that it takes precedence?
The idea that everything is a file does not appeal to me.
What I really dislike about HTML5 'offline storage' is that there's never any indication of what exactly the website wants to store on my computer, so I always click no. UX Fail.
I guess I agree partly with the last part, but then what others are? Does being unhappy make one be alive? Does being discontent? Or is there moral virtue in the 'natural' state of things, not being changed by human intervention; is it the fact the happiness is made in the book, not by the happy person him or herself, but by 'the machine', the society? If so, shouldn't we stop all state intervention that tries to improve citizen's lives?

I guess that I understand the gut feeling of uneasiness with the society presented in the book. It's that I can't find a rational explanation for it that bugs me. (one could do this one away by dismissing the value of rationality, but that I don't want to do - it's a value judgment too there, but one I hope people on here would understand and agree with).
Actually brute forcing is exactly what he is going. But grabbing people's password hashes isn't really 'easy' w/ a well designed system.
They are nice to know when debugging -- looking at dir(obj) can lead to things like "where the heck is _foo__attr defined?" if you don't know the __x -> _classname__x mangling.
One big(?) problem with this: really ugly 404 pages -- http://www.andrewvc.com/asdgadf
"Changing something" is even less of a solution than the author of the original post offers. So there's a problem, what should people do about it?
In the case of unhappiness you could try doing more things that make you happy. How to do that is an individual decision I think. I, for one, founded a startup and am much happier than before. I do not long for weekends to come anymore, same with vacation. If you like what you do, the desire to flee subsides, and I think that improves your quality of life big time.
Maybe its already been answered in the comments, but I cant seem to find it but isnt it required by law to notify the users ?

At least for GDPR there is a requirement :

> A controller is obliged to notify the DPC of any personal data breach that has occurred, unless they are able to demonstrate that the personal data breach is 'unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons'.
Colleges charge fees more to make money than to screen candidates. We don't want to have the job market profiting from the unemployed.

Stanford University, for example: $90 fee X 20,000 applicants = $1,800,000
The company should try to prevent this from ever happening again, that's for sure, but mistakes, even serious ones, happen everywhere. For example, hospitals mix up babies far too frequently (as mentioned in the article). Further regulation is not what's needed. In my opinion, 23andme remains an awesome service and one that shows we're "living in the future", so to speak.
I was under the perhaps false impression that count star queries with or without where conditions are not cached on innodb tables.
This is an interesting case to study, it is not as open and shut as it seemed.

The Indian Government, wanting Indians in more senior positions, pushed UC into placing Indians into levels of responsibility that it appears they were not ready for.

Thus when the accident occurred, many of those in charge were actually Indians... not heartless money-grubbing foreigners.

These new systems suck because there is never free time left on a spot when you find one. They automatically reset when the last car pulls away, increasing overall parking costs for consumers.
Potential / Partial Solutions
You are assuming much based on little information and the risks to the OP if he would follow your advice to the letter are grave, I really don't understand why you are so steadfast in this.

He's already tested positive for at least one disease that is both chronic, severe, progressive and downright (+) dangerous, he's had one anti-biotic treatment for it which did not have the desired result but that does not mean that that option is off the table, merely that he may have a resistant strain of it.

More clinical tests are needed, some of them urgently so.

I'm not a doctor but I know bad advice when I see it and I really wonder whether you are considering the consequences of your actions here.

Please, there is a time and a place to advise people to change their lifestyle, if any of the top contenders of what the OP ails is 'it' then by following your advice you could cause some pretty serious damage. A change of scene will make anybody feel better, for a while. But given his heat sensitivity Costa Rica is about as bad as it gets (I spent three months in Panama last year, the climate is pretty comparable on the coast), that's the last place the OP would be comfortable, unless he parked himself on a local mountain top.

Besides that, he should be finding out what ails him and sooner is better.

Ruling out which diseases are not 'it' is just as important as finding out what it is at this stage and none of that is going to happen lying on the beach. That's just playing ostrich and is eventually going to make the problems worse, not better.

"Follow these instructions to the letter" indeed.

There might not be a causal link between the Hashimoto and the CFS. All the symptoms described sound like CFS to me (my sister has had it for 15 years).
(Sorry if this was submitted already.)

The genius I see here is that the relative size of a large area is really hard for people to actually understand. Until you show it relative to something they know intuitively (like where they live.)
I feel like it's a beautifully designed app but the limitation of 20 sources only is annoying, and I'm not sure the $4 is well spent anymore.
Not to mention the need to set up the actual page layout, markup, and related code... this is a PHP app so it's not that easy. Since I'm the only developer/everything else guy, my time has to be split between customer support, development of cashflow-generating features, and everything else needed to run a business.

Calling the Planck constant 'esoteric' seems odd even if expressing it in total layman's terms could be difficult.

I don't see why explaining that it's a constant relating to photons, light and energy would be too difficult, or too far away from the level the article is pitched at.
I'm hoping this thread will be a good place to get some advice. I'm about to finish undergrad. I was thinking about going to grad school but I really wanted to take a break from academia to see if I would prefer working at a startup. I've found that it is a lot harder than I expected to get hired.

I have an extremely good academic record but I can't say I blame companies for not taking that too seriously. I only have one big non-class coding project to my name and it was for research. Sadly, I focused too much on school in the past 4 years and not enough on personal projects. I obviously can't just tell people I'm a good fucking programmer. There is no reason to believe me. Is the best solution to forget job applications for now and start working on a project of my own?
What would be a (simple) abstraction from browsers that would just thwart all these attacks? The main problem here seems to be the use of heuristics for identifying malicious content.

One of the main problems is mixing code and data. Say there's a new HTTP header that tells the browser to disable inline scripts, would that help solve the problem?
To those folks who keep saying "get married", a couple of questions, out of curiosity:

A) Did you even read the entire post? He states his lawyer has already recommended that and he has already ruled it out.

B) Do you realize this is a public forum and (assuming you are in the US) you can be potentially tracked down and theoretically charged for encouraging someone to break the law?

------

To the OP: I have tried to do some googling. Law is not my strong point and I'm not finding what I want, but I am curious if there is a means to seek amnesty based on the fact that you were brought here as a child, so had no real choice in immigrating illegally. If I find something to point you to, I will post it. If not, please consider researching that angle as well.

Best of luck.
That sounds like a great example database for database classes! Something a student could wrap their head around to understand the dataset. I found a lot of times students new to database concepts had trouble unless examples were given in terms of a dataset they could relate to or at least understand the relationships without the DB language.
I am in the same boat.

This could be my story, except my parents never managed to legalize, and I couldn't even get a tax id. Lawyers haven't been able to help. I am going to a "big shot" lawyer soon to see what he says, but at this point I'm not holding my breath. I was brought to the states at the age of 12; that was 13 years ago. I'm in limbo, as you.

Forget the Start Visa Act, that's fresh out the oven and even if it did, somehow, manage to make it through the stalemate in Congress, there is no way it would cover people like you and I, who have "broken the law" (we were brought here as children, for the few who will miss the point). Something that _could_ help us is the Dream Act.

In college I started http://dreamact.info It is the biggest community of would be Dream Act beneficiaries and undocumented students. I'm not too proud of what's there at this point -- I always want to do more -- but it's the best I could do with life always catching up. =( I've been in and out of the fray trying to pass this bill and perhaps have some things to share that go beyond the scope of this comment. If you are at all interested in the bill, or just want somebody to share with -- I know it gets very tough -- feel free to contact me at nick at dreamact.info

I hope this gives you hope. Hang in there.

Treating politics as 'just politics' suggests a staggering level of willful blindness to the hardships that many people go through. For some people, these 'just politics' encompass matters literally up to and including life and death [1].

Somehow, I must believe you are being sarcastic, or you are terribly misinformed.
Interesting article, but lots of "probably the next biggest consumer" etc. Was hoping he would have some kind of network traffic analysis report in there that backs up his ranking of the formats. Seems to be anecdotal more than anything. Still good overview of the different formats available.
Hmmm. The hypocrisy is blatant. He apparently hates the way "people" are. Yet, at the same time he hates other people who also hate the way people are i.e. sexists and racists?!?!?

I apologize for the following but: Are you fucking kidding me?!?

Does he truly believe that he is alone in dealing with people? Do we not all deal with people? Is this not a core component of life and of cough growing up cough?!?!?

Have not many individuals over the ages dealt with their differences in various ways? Some dealings being better than others?

>I can never escape these problems, because they are people.

Why are "people" the problem? Why do you overgeneralize so easily? Yet, you ask so hypocritically:

>How do you get people to stop making terrible assumptions about other people?

This article should not be upvoted. If you are "tired" of dealing with people, as the author, I can almost guarantee that you have not spent enough time searching. Don't end your search to find good people with premature conclusions that sadly this author has jumped too.
He does not say split equally with the idea guy. Idea guy gets one fifth.

> Take Altucher with a big grain of salt, is all I'm sayin'.

Agreed. However I would take any general advice with a grain of salt. Every business situation is different.
I think it depends. "What is the best image processing library?" should be closed. However, if that person goes on to detail what exactly they are trying to do and what constraints they are working with, it may not be so open-ended anymore. And this is only an example of one type of question which is routinely closed. There are others.
That's a great book too - I like Seth's writing style. I believe he calls this "finding a edge".

TSATOP is different because teaches you to actually quantify the value delivered to the customers. i.e., how much, in real dollars, is 100% uptime going to save us over 99.99%?

It seems like a small difference, but its not: 100% uptime unlocks new business models that don't work with "only" 99.99% uptime (e.g., banking software or API companies). That's what TSATOP really explains - how to quantify the seemingly minute differences in your offering, and how to communicate that value to the customer so that you can charge accordingly.

To use an example actually from the book, how much money will a DNA testing kit that requires 10% less sample material be worth to a customer?

Well, first that depends on who the customer is - its a lot more valuable to a pharma company than a university, for example. But how much more? The book would do something like calculate the number of new drugs the pharma company can release each year based on having this better DNA testing kit, and calculate how that affects the customer's bottom line. Eventually this would result in something like: every time you use our product instead of our closest competitor, it puts $50 in your pocket.

Seth Godin's writing is awesome for motivation and to get your brain moving, but this book really drills down on the nuts and bolts of pricing, and provides templates and worksheets for performing your own Economic Value Estimation of your product. Both are really useful, but this one is more like a textbook, whereas Seth's is more like a (very) motivational speech.
The hell are you fellas smoking? IPsec NAT traversal has been a non-issue since it was standardized about 10 years ago.
None of that is live streaming. Netflix can only do that via cached videos at ISPs and other tricks.

Live steaming is a whole new ballgame and something Netflix has never tried. YouTube has live streamed many events such as Google IO and Presidential debates.

It would be interesting to see if Netflix's architecture is even capable of supporting NFL Sunday Ticket.
That is a really good idea, but I think the aim of the tsunamiball is more about process than product.
We have this in Brazilian Portuguese for some cities too. For example, saying "San Francisco" instead of "São Francisco" is fine (maybe because they sound similar?), but saying "New York" instead of "Nova Iorque" can be considered pompous in some circles.
Unfortunately, that's hard to say without doing proper usability testing.

I managed to find a decent looking study that somewhat supports my position [1]. Here's an interesting quote from the abstract:

"many (40%) were hesitant to consent to the release of their personal profile information; and (6) many (36%) ex- pressed concern with the use of SSO on websites that contain valuable personal information or, conversely, are not trust- worthy. We also found that with an improved affordance and privacy control, more than 60% of study participants would use Web SSO solutions on the websites they trust."

This is a very important discussion -- I'd love to see some papers that study the benefits of a single login / profile, rather then the negatives.

> Many property markets around the world are in a bubble

it's only a bubble if it pops.

> there's so much cultural distortion around home ownership that it's almost a parody of fundamental economic

Again, it's only a distortion if it doesn't persist for so long to become a persistent ground truth.

A house is not a house is not a house because location, location, location. You can put the same exact dwelling structure in two different places and they can have two very different values because everything around the house matters too and if those things persist, they become as real as the house.
This is an intentional decision on the part of the developers of Bitcoin Core, although I do not understand why.

The original plan for Bitcoin envisioned larger blocks to keep transactions fees down.

This plan has been realized in "Bitcoin Cash" which, although technically a fork, strays less from the original bitcoin design than Core now does.
I would agree with you if and only if firearms were a good defense mechanism when it comes to citizens dealing with day-to-day crime.

Experience shows that, on such situations, firearms are good for attacking but terrible for defending. It all boils down to the element of surprise: the thief knows he's going to attack you, but you are not aware of it, giving you no adequate time to respond.

There are some cases of success, usually extensively mentioned by supporters, but the reaction is often conducted by a third party who arrived at the situation after the first approach, or when the criminal is distracted, which makes all the difference, since it transfers the element of surprise to the victim.

I would be more inclined to agree with lesser firearm restrictions if the government were talking more about training, prevention and awareness, with guns being used only as a last resort in a broader defense strategy. But, we know that's not what's happening. They just try to make us believe we should react if we will.
That's very interesting. Is this happening because fewer women are going into CS, or because way more men than women have gone into the field? A good way to answer this would be to look at some different statistics: what percentage of women college graduates majored in CS in the early '80s vs. today, and the same comparison for men. Of course, that doesn't answer the underlying question of why more men than women choose to major in CS.

CS was a relatively young discipline in the early '80s, so its share of total graduates has probably grown significantly since then. I'd be willing to bet that growth is due to both more men and more women entering the field, but disproportionately men. CS graduates back then were, in a sense, all "early adopters," so both the men and the women in the field were outside of the mainstream. It could be that men now consider CS to be mainstream, but women don't: among men, the discipline has grown as one would expect, but among women the discipline is stuck at an earlier stage. Of course, this just leads to further questions about why this disparity in adoption exists.
When I opened the link, I thought it showed an error page...
Since I've never really used either, I would say no. That's just my personal opinion, and not backed by any facts. I will say, however, that none of my friends and family use Quora, and most of them do not use Buzz. I sit in the camp that thinks Google created Buzz just to get something out there, and not to gain traction. If they wanted to do that they would have used the Wave-esque system.
I find a number of the fast facts to be horribly misleading due to their brevity...

"Node.js runs everything in ‘parallel’, meaning that all of your tasks can be run at the same time. For example, let’s say you have a webpage that has 100 lines of code with 10 database calls. With a web server like Apache, these 10 database calls must be made in succession. While running node.js, you can run all 10 of these database calls at once, which makes the webpage load faster."

errr... maybe...

"Current web servers must open many connections to interact with their operating system (OS), while node.js only needs to open 1 connection. Each connection costs the system memory, so using fewer connections is more efficient and faster for the entire system."

there are many lightweight polling webservers like nginx, lighttpd etc
It looks exactly like a job posting for any of the 99.99999% of startups out there that will not be the next Amazon. If you saw an ad like this today it would just fade in to the background noise.
I don't really have any disagreements with what you said, I just don't like wearing them. They're not particularly comfortable. Too hot for many occasions.

I think it's worth mentioning that while everyone looks about the same, the people that want to really show their wallets continue to do so with flashy, expensive suits. Suits are an equalizer for everyone but the top.

I don't adjust my prices with regard to the suit. The rationale behind it feels like the rationale for eating a bag of chips while you're on a diet. I don't feel like wearing a suit today so I'll discount my personal value while asking to be paid. I don't feel like being on a diet today so I'll ignore it while attempting to control my weight.
It's fast

It's the ultimate resume

Sure, if you're trying to land a job, the build apps not businesses approach can work (and is possibly better than the opposite approach, cost/benefit-wise). If you're trying to become your own boss, you need to consider the alternative.
While I never did own a Treo, I did have a Sony Ericsson P900, which came out about 2-3 years before the iPhone I believe. My friends thought I was crazy for buying such an expensive phone, but I was happy with it for so long that I kept it for about 5 years. Lots of flagship phones made years later still didn't match the features of that phone. I still have it, so maybe I'll try booting it up as well.

I think my experience with that phone is the reason I'm in love with the Samsung Galaxy Note series now.
