Don't forget about Child's Play either. It's a wonderful charity which raises money to donate video games, books, and toys for sick kids in Children's hospitals.

Anyone know a good way to replicate this in Windows? Would be great to have a more user-like experience when working on my Rails app.
The US government trampling all over your rights, digital and RL is very much a concern for everyone, hackers included.
In Caeser's mind, the main perk of power is more delicious food. Someone uninterested in this can't be tempted or manipulated.
It's interesting to see how the whole process changed with the emergence of computers:

The typesetting part, that is knowledge based, was completly transformed by computers. And all those machines for the task disapeared.

And in the printing part, that is a physical process, you still have similar machines. Although there were optimized and modernized.
Your boss must have liked you more than mine liked me. On the other hand, getting paid via a giant envelope filled with cash was pretty cool.

Today, April 21st 2011, according to the "Terminator", Skynet was launched... No wonder AWS is down
I went to my first one last month a week after the earthquake and saw it here on HN. You should definitely come out for the next one which will probably show up here:

http://blog.makeleaps.com

It looks like the founders of MakeLeaps (po and jason_tko on HN) have been organizing them roughly every two months for about a year now. I was thinking of bugging them pretty soon to see when they were thinking of having the next meetup.
It's worth something because there are people who will accept it for goods or services.
I completely agree. I tried to be clear about this in the readme on the github page.

I set out to build it as a "proper" REST interface but ran into some snags with POST on the Arduino side and decided (reluctantly) to implement the output functions as GET requests for the time being.

I plan to remedy this as time allows, however I didn't want to put sharing the code at the mercy of my schedule. I have a few more improvements in mind as well and I wanted to gather some feedback to help prioritize future development.
The original post was comparing client-side browsers, not server-side javascript engines.
I don't think that's true. Under the mutable UI trees, 60 times a second the entire UI is rendered from scratch in the OpenGL (or similar) layer. It seems to me it would be possible to completely skip that part by making a new React-like OpenGL renderer.
Hey everybody, im the creator of dnsperf.
I just wanted to clear some things up.

1. The point of the service is to have an objective way to compare different DNS services. dnsperf is supposed only to help you in your search for the best DNS service and not crown the absolute winner.

2. I plan to add as many locations as possible to get more reliable data. More locations will also solve the problem of "DNS at the same datacenter as my test nodes"

3. Some people are confused about the node locations. Here is the map http://www.dnsperf.com/network

4. Its not open source but some time in the future it will be.

5. The tests I am running are supposed to exclude variables such as local/ISP caching, DNS proxies, resolvers, SRTT and so on. I wanted to test the nameservers directly and get the raw performance data of the provider himself. I believe thats the best way to do fair comparison.

Thank you for your comments and love. I'm glad people liked the service :)

Feel free to email me with your feedback or questions.
I'm sort of confused by this gif. I wouldn't look at it and say "that girl turning her head in one direction repeatedly means no comment". If it were funny, and actually had some sort of "denied" slant to it, then fine, but this particular gif makes no sense to me as a response to a request for comment. I guess when you have as much money as Google does you can be as disrespectful to reporters as you like, but at least try to be entertaining.
The most important thing was exemption from state blue-sky laws, so this is great. The second part is who can buy them? I thought A+ was general public. What does this mean;

The final rules also provide for the preemption of state
securities law registration and qualification requirements for
securities offered or sold to “qualified purchasers” in Tier 2
offerings.

The only qualifications I heard were you can't invest more than 10% of net worth?

Reading more, it sounds like it's actually a circular-logic null requirement?

In brief, under the proposed rules, Regulation A+ offers would be exempt from state
securities laws (and review by state regulators) if they are either:

1. Sold only to “qualified purchasers”, or
2. Offered and sold on a national securities exchange.

Meeting the requirements of a national securities exchange nullifies any benefit
of pursuing a Regulation A+ offering, so the real issue is whether issuers can
realistically limit sales only to "qualified purchasers". Although the term was
not specifically defined in this context, "qualified purchaser" could reasonably
be expected to mean "sophisticated investor", which would put Regulation A+
offerings into a similar world as Regulation 506(c) deals. Fortunately for issuers,
according to the proposed definition, a "qualified purchaser" is any purchaser of a
securities issued to Regulation A+.

If that sounds circular to you, it's only because it is circular. To be exempt from
state securities law requirements, Regulation A+ sales must be made only to
"qualified purchasers" and all purchasers in Regulation A+ sales are "qualified
purchasers".

The reporting requirement is simply audited financials, twice a year. I don't know how SOX plays in... how far is an SME sticking out their neck to sell shares under A+? What kind of review is the SEC performing? 506(b) was basically zero-cost, zero-review -- up to the investor to do their own diligence. Looking forward to learning more about what the A+ process really looks like. Depending on how it works out, this could seriously shake things up.

> They can still read my keystrokes [...] They even may be able to surreptitiously copy our OTP by using compromised software.

How is breaking into your computer an issue of the OSI stack? Are you using "OSI stack" as synonymous to "the whole operating system with all its running processes"?
Thanks for the reference, this is the best quote I've found in a long while. Strangely, I was unfamiliar with this.
> the programming challenges available in large investment banks

Agreed - they have some interesting technical challenges.

> "I wonder if we can do image recognition on spy satellite photos to count cars in parking lots to get an estimate of traffic to a retailer before they publish their quarterlies"

That, however, feels, at first glance, a bit zero-sum. Is that investment making the world better in some way?

Not that I think anything should get in the way of them doing stuff like that, but it feels a bit hollow in the grand scheme of things.
If we're talking about FDM...

Unless you're buying from a non-open-hardware company (like Makerbot, which you shouldn't anyway), you should be fine. Thhey use an all open-source software chain (ie. Slic3r -> Printrun/OctoPrint -> Marlin)
These are mostly old manufacturing ideas which affect crash safety; repairability, an street legality.
I'm amazed someone out there found it a perfectly working service.
I've definitely worked places with segregated LAN and WANs, where it's a pain in the ass to print if you aren't plugged into the ethernet
That current is charging the battery—not dissipation. I have no idea what kind of energy the friction brakes dissipate (that's not reported on the dash like regen braking is).
This sucks. I loved Google Cloud Print. I've never had good luck configuring CUPS on Linux, and Google Cloud Print gave me a nice way to not have to deal with it.
It's not getting killed until next year, so 2013-2020. 7 years is right around the median lifespan according to that page.
What's a paid alternative to Google Cloud Print?
Should facebook really hire thousands of sales people? Its already very well known. If they can show some good ROI for the initial customers should go to them to push deals. In fact most savvy businesses have a facebook page and so facebook can automatically poke them about pushing deals.
I am not sure how this works on CA, etc. My father came to the US on an H1-B in 1999. He was hired as a contractor by an agency that specialized in bringing H1-B software developers from the former USSR and India. He then had to go look for an actual job, since this company was simply a middle man.

After he found a job, he got his salary: about 1/3 of the reported number. The rest was cleaned up by the agency that brought him here. Eventually, he got his green card and left the agency, but what this implies to me is that an H1-B worker may not get that much of the salaries reported on this list. However, as I mentioned, I have no idea what percentage of H1-Bs are hired through thrid-party middle men.
SEOs will look at you like a wizard and clients will throw money at you if you can nail both those skill sets.

Sample SEO task, anonymized: identify the most populated 1,000 US cities for which our DB does not currently include articles. This is a one-week task for some SEOs. (Asking how someone would do it would make for a good SEO interview question.)
There was another post earlier today with all of the US H1-B salary data for the last 10 years.

http://www.flcdatacenter.com/CaseH1B.aspx

I downloaded it all the second I saw it with the thoughts that I'd just be able to "find something to do with it somehow"

Seems you're alot further along the path of being able to do something with it.

It's literally* a bajillion salary data points that are probably very reliable because the companies are likely taxed on the amount they've entered in that list (or something).

Roll it in! (maybe with a "Source" flag)

*not really literally.
Thanks for the feedback!

Privacy is a big deal for our users and we take it seriously. Only the people you elect to see your garden will see it. Data encryption for storage and transportation (SSL) is on the horizon.

We're currently working on an export feature to automate the retrieval of your moments but in the mean time, if you email us we'll zip them up for you.

It's funny you mentioned the relationship use case since we have a few users that are already using it for that. One of them is using it like a time capsule and giving it to her boyfriend for their 1 year anniversary.
I think most of the $2B (1.5B in fact) is a "liquidity" opportunity for employees with significant amount of stock. In that light, Goldman's clients are getting a good deal (and obviously Goldman) and so are the employees selling the stock.

Now, you may wonder why someone would sell a stock they are highly confident will appreciate? When you have $60m, but all of that tied in Facebook stock, you would rather forgo the opportunity to gain another $10m in order to sell a quarter ($15m) now, just so you have some cash to buy a house, a nice car, or whatever you want. At that level of wealth, the incremental benefits of additional money is greatly outweighed by the benefits to diversification and liquidity.

I know that if I had $60m in Facebook stock, even if I believe each share are likely to be worth $40 in two years, I'd be willing to sell a quarter for $25 apiece just so I have a ton of cash at the moment.

So while it's true that it's strange that Facebook is selling so many shares to Goldman, it's less strange if you consider that FB is staying private much longer than Google, and thus has many employees whose wealth is still largely tied to a private, non-liquid stock.
The vast majority of companies don't do this.
It's scary, but it's life.
Fantastic article. The takeaway for me:

So, instead of trying to sell chickens the eggs we had, we just sold them what they wanted... Suddenly we had exactly the eggs our customers wanted because we didn't buy our eggs until we knew we had a home for them.
>"The value of this exceeds the more fair voting that we might have now."

In your argument, you are using yourself as the measure of value, rather than using the community, i.e. saving you as an individual time by helping you ignore the less popular side of an argument doesn't demonstrably improve the quality of comments of the community in general (or even your comments in particular - though it may help you choose which side to comment on in order to maximize the upvotes your comments receive).

In the case where a "well-reasoned" debate has a large discrepancy then using points as a measure of value indicates an interpretation of votes as agreement with ideas rather than an objective indication of a comment's quality.
very much like itunes Genius bar logo with electrons changed with google sidebar icons.

Caffeine is not new and has been talked in SEO community from a quite sometime. I wonder why they make it public now.

To silence iPhone 4 news? No no,just coincidence...
Right. That is why I distinguished between the serving data and the data they discussed in this post.
Well, there /is/ the BOFH :)

Most of that was during a time when RAM was significantly more expensive than my calculations took into account. But in any case, you and I are talking about two different things. You're saying that there is some possible universe where they are using 100 PB of ram on this project alone. I'm claiming that it's very unlikely that this is the same universe as the one we are living in. While I'll gladly admit that you are correct in your claim, I don't think it's useful.
Well, interesting. Less features than Google Docs has, but I'm afraid people will like it simply because it looks more like their Office 2007/2010 :(

They'll have much less work than Google Docs in convincing users to use it. meh.
Why do you need to spend it. Keep doing what you are doing. Be tight with that money and just keep working and being resourceful. Why do you feel a need to invest it?

ONLY use that money as the last resource.
I would definitely be behind that. Saw plenty of them when I wasn’t living in the States. Very reliable, affordable, and practical.

However, I would not expect that to be what corporate America of today would produce.
Because that would have increased friction for customers.

Not that getting more income, and then busted, was such a win.

I can buy a truck with an 8ft bed from GM, Ford or Chrysler all day long.
True, maybe not Macbooks with Zacate, unless Apple wants something cheaper and lighter. And these parts aren't that far off from CULV Core 2 chips actually.
Is this a fully native app, or is it storing my stuff on your server?

Can I back up tags / whatever that I make, and will they sync between multiple devices?

Is the app open-sourced? Will it be? Are you planning to charge for the app? For premium features?

Most importantly, why are the features you're providing going to improve my experience with GitHub?

These are all questions I'd expect the landing page to answer.
Yay. Another "Let's argue about open floorplan offices" article. Never can have enough of those.

I'm not going to take apart the article: there's simply too many errors to get into. I will say in the author's defense that many companies will jump onto a bandwagon without having any idea of why other people are riding or where it's going. [insert long list of good ideas that corporate america adopted and killed]

On a personal note, I do not like co-location. I also do not like open plan offices. I like it quiet, with my space, my music, my 3-screen development setup, and my door. Which I can shut.

And that's what makes this discussion so painful for me to both watch and participate in. You see, as somebody who helps teams perform better, for certain kinds of work -- creative work where there is a lot of change and risk -- open plan beats the hell out of other setups. It's not even close. [for the proper definition of open plan.]

In the past couple of years I have seen several teams that were unable to accomplish much of anything start working much more effectively by simply sitting beside each other and being there during the day. In some cases, they did nothing else: just sat beside each other. Still, work improved. The effect is so noticeable you could almost write a book and start a movement just on open floorplan.

The last misconception I'll address, since it seems to run rampant, is that open floor plan is not about productivity or cost savings. It's about having people work with each other. This may actually mean less work gets done; but it's the right work. Open floor plan is where the guy at the end of the table late on a Friday afternoon observes aloud to himself "You know, maybe we should be doing X instead of Y" and everybody has the social and emotional context to realize that you just changed the scope of the work from 10x to x. [insert many more examples here]
who talks about exponential growth ? Ongoing growth can be linear and has no need to be exponential. Nice strawman.
Looks fantastic, great idea!
The Internet Archive styles itself as an internet facing library (which is a way to claim more latitude re copyright: http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#108 ).

The argument that they are providing access to the material, rather than distributing it, is probably a reasonable one to make (I guess it probably isn't technically legal).
Offtopic, but is it just me or the author's taste of font is very unique.
One wonders, what exactly makes a person "superhuman"? What if you're just 5% better than the mean? 10%?

Does the label "human" encompass all of the variations? Does an IQ in the top 1-2% of a nation make somebody "superhuman"?

(I originally wrote an overly long post full of personal anecdotes recalling the pain of being smart and different, but thought these questions added more).
Actually, a corporation is an entity empowered by law to do certain things (e.g., shield its owners from personal liability) that a mere aggregation of people cannot do. The Supreme Court majority in the Citizens United case missed this important distinction.

I think it’s possible to draw logical and constitutional lines between

¶ 100 people writing letters to their Congresscritters advocating for the same policy

¶ a manager of a corporation (with 100 shareholders) writing Congresscritters to advocate for some policy (that not all 100 shareholders think is a good idea)

¶ a corporation hiring a lobbyist to be its permanent advocate in Washington
With this sample size any reasonably-sounding model you invent on the spot has a good chance of giving better results.
take heart in the fact that this random reader found your exploration of "What is an institution if you can't say who is an is not a part of it?" enlightening and will probably use your words in some later conversation.
More specifically, if there's play in the gears of the winding mechanism then you'll get a lot of variance when it comes to inter-frame space.

NO! This is old 120 format film--just a roll of film with paper backing. On his camera, you probably just looked through the red window on the back at the frame number. If you forgot to wind, double exposure. The Holga toy camera from Lomo still works this way today.
Cool tutorial, I read an article about ideas for mobile applications (https://mwdn.com/mobile-app-ideas-2020-how-to-create-somethi...) and now I want to create my own, there is one idea about how to create another application from one application, I read your article and was inspired. thanks :)

It doesn't have to be an all or nothing situation, you could rent a car once or twice a week for the larger tasks.

There are different types of bicycles, and different types of carriers you can attach. For example there's a cargo bike [0]. In a bicycle focused city you'd perhaps be able to borrow/rent a bicycle for specific uses.

I guess the rain can be a bit of a nuisance, but from my understanding it becomes a non-issue once you've got the proper gear for it. Plus if you were bicycling to work for example, you could have a change of clothes there.

By the way mrmoneymoustache.com has some blog posts about his primarily-bicycle lifestyle in Boulder, Colorado if that's relevant to you.

I'm curious. If you are in charge of a public company with a platform. There's a pedophile known for trafficking CP (or even more vile offenses). There are headlines that you're giving them exposure. You don't consider not letting them on your platform?
Police literally were interviewed and said 'they were confiscating guns all day'.
Oh, that's... unpleasant. I remember Tosh.0 talking about some channel which mostly had young to very young girls doing gymnastics or having pool parties, etc.

I could see the need to end that, but, why can't I make a private playlist with my kiddo's videos?
What if instead of arrows we had words "Agree" "Disagree" "Interesting" "Not Interesting"

My mother was one of the super skeptical types, so she wouldn’t allow the plug in fresheners in the house (or the spray kind either) — it was open windows, sunlight, and very limited cleaning products. I’m pretty thankful about that skepticism and intend to keep that momentum when I have kids.
It's enough to turn off JS. You can find the relevant switch in the bottom-right corner of uBlock Origin.
I switched to YouTube Premium recently and the one downside is it largely only pays for the delivery. The actual creator content itself seems to be inundated with in video ads or promotions. For something that costs nearly the same as the Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN bundle it's a bit disappointing I can't purchase what I really want to purchase still.

That being said it's a step in the right direction and that's the reason I decided to switch.
I infer you've never lived in one of America's colonial vassal states. Both empires probably had to treat their subject populations a bit better in the presence of a geopolitical alternative.

> Do engineers at Intel, AMD, and Nvidia manually lay out each feature in their chip designs? If not, what workflow tools have they developed internally? Could those tools, or similar, be used for smaller scale circuit design?

The answer is yes, but of course not exclusively. There was an English talk at ccc a while ago by an AMD engineer with lots of details on the whole process.
Also there is tons of people with bank accounts, but who have debts.

Any income is instantly frozen and collected. Even when they want to eventually pay debt, lack of liquidity prevents them from work.

They can only use cash, or bank accounts of friends, or things like Revolut or PayPal (bailiff doesn't know about them because they operate in different country).
