The Gun in the Closet
http://www.philly.com/philly/opinion/184496581.html?fb_action_ids=10100580394371827&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=other_multiline&action_object_map=%7B%2210100580394371827%22%3A425139417558566%7D&action_type_map=%7B%2210100580394371827%22%3A%22og.likes%22%7D&action_ref_map=%5B%5D
To me, guns are created for a single purpose: killing. They have no place in a house with children. But to others, including people whom I respect, guns are objects of pleasure and entitlement. Guns are for protecting children. They enjoy teaching their children how to shoot. Every time a friend reveals he has a gun, I feel like my shocked 3-year-old in the playground all those years ago. I can't quite wrap my mind around their position, nor they mine.

Combining personal data with ratings for targeted medical information
http://strata.oreilly.com/2013/09/combining-personal-data-with-ratings-for-targeted-medical-information.html
HealthTap is a community of doctors and clients seeking answers to health questions. Its central service provides immediate access to doctors and their knowledge either by doctors answering client questions in real time, or through a large database of previously answered questions and answers from doctors that are peer reviewed and tagged with recommendations by other doctors. By combining the doctors’ recommendations with data provided by each client on himself or herself, HealthTap provides customized results to queries. In this video, HealthTap CEO Ron Gutman explains unexpected lessons they’ve learned from offering the intelligent search service.
Continuous Delivery with DEVcloud and Cloud Foundry
http://blog.cloudbees.com/2013/02/continuous-delivery-cloud-foundry.html 
This morning, we announced support for deployment from DEV@cloud Jenkins build jobs to Cloud Foundry's PaaS: I've done a short video [http://youtu.be/R3TgL5vs3pk] that shows how easy it is to set this up.
Rather than cover the same ground as the Cloud Foundry blog, I wanted to drill down a little into what's going on and how you can use this in your own projects. I've included a couple of examples, based on the ClickStarts, on our partnerdemo account that you can use as a reference…
How do you design telling engagement metrics?
With tools like mixpanel it's very easy to collect lots of data on your app's usage. But what are people's strategies for turning raw data into KPIs? You want a measure to be robust to outliers, to really correspond to how often the product is used, but also to how often the users is `successful'. Would love to hear tips on getting this right

Network Planning – Evolution in the New Era of SDN and NFV
At Kloudspun, we work on solutions to several problems which are in the intersection of Telecommunications, Computer Science and Math. We have developed several heuristics and algorithms which address real world issues in network planning. This post is about some of the changes precipitated by technology changes in planning of Telco networks.

Telecom networks have evolved significantly with SDN and NFV. These networks were predominantly static with the exception of GMPLS (or equivalent variants) supported restoration in certain areas or layers of the network. However with SDN and NFV, newer demands and requirements are being placed on network capability. Network Planning tools have had to evolve to keep up with the dynamic demands being placed on networks.

With the adoption of GMPLS(or equivalent variants), networks evolved to support protection schemes with restoration capability. From the perspective of a network planning group, in every carrier, it was immediately important to right size the network to handle failure with enough room to provide shared protection for circuits. How does one plan for shared protection and restoration schemes ?

With SDN, network abstraction and orchestration became topics of interest for Network Operators. Gone are the days when only extra-traffic would create a bonus revenue stream. Is it possible to orchestrate network services to gain revenue ? Is it possible to orchestrate where customers are likely to be better served (read high frequency trading). In a nutshell, can dynamic network resource utilization intelligently create new revenue streams. More levels of service differentiation are possible. Can new business models be spun off based on this ? Demand driven, network aware, time aware and business model cognizant schemes for route selection are important considerations.

Graph analytics and Social Network Analysis on massive graphs with Giraph
http://www.manning.com/martella/
We are writing a book on large-scale graph processing with Apache Giraph. Giraph is being currently used at Facebook to run graph analytics on their graph with a trillion relationships across hundreds of machines within minutes [1]. The book covers from technical challenges about designing and building a processing engine that runs graph algorithms efficiently, how to develop scalable algorithms for graph analytics, to the practical API of Apache Giraph. We thought you guys might be interested in these use cases for your own work, and hopefully find the content useful to you. We hope to get some useful feedback on how to improve the book to make it useful to the broadest audience.<p>We'd love to hear if you guys have any use-case, like social network analysis or recommender systems. What kind of use-cases would you like to see in such a book?<p>[1] https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/scaling-apache-giraph-to-a-trillion-edges/10151617006153920

Ask HN: Is a Sybil attack[1] possible on HN?
Is it possible to make a hundred accounts and make them upvote a post? Would those upvotes count?

HN has a fairly effective system to only allow downvotes by 500 reputation points. But it allows upvotes to everyone. So a Sybil attack for upvoting is possible.

Is it considered white-hat to try this myself?

La Educacion Prohibida (spanish)
http://dclavijo.blogspot.com/2012/12/la-educacion-prohibida.html
La escuela ha cumplido ya más de 200 años de existencia y es aun considerada la principal forma de acceso a la educación. Hoy en día, la escuela y la educación son conceptos ampliamente discutidos en foros académicos, políticas públicas, instituciones educativas, medios de comunicación y espacios de la sociedad civil.Desde su origen, la institución escolar ha estado caracterizada por estructuras y prácticas que hoy se consideran mayormente obsoletas y anacrónicas. Decimos que no acompañan las necesidades del Siglo XXI. Su principal falencia se encuentra en un diseño que no considera la naturaleza del aprendizaje, la libertad de elección o la importancia que tienen el amor y los vínculos humanos en el desarrollo individual y colectivo.

A partir de estas reflexiones críticas han surgido, a lo largo de los años, propuestas y prácticas que pensaron y piensan la educación de una forma diferente. “La Educación Prohibida” es una película documental que propone recuperar muchas de ellas, explorar sus ideas y visibilizar aquellas experiencias que se han atrevido a cambiar las estructuras del modelo educativo de la escuela tradicional.

Más de 90 entrevistas a educadores, académicos, profesionales, autores, madres y padres; un recorrido por 8 países de Iberoamérica pasando por 45 experiencias educativas no convencionales; más de 25.000 seguidores en las redes sociales antes de su estreno y un total de 704 coproductores que participaron en su financiación colectiva, convirtieron a “La Educación Prohibida” en un fenómeno único. Un proyecto totalmente independiente de una magnitud inédita, que da cuenta de la necesidad latente del crecimiento y surgimiento de nuevas formas de educación.

Ask HN: Moving to Edinburgh
I'm really excited to be moving to Edinburgh this Saturday! And would love to meet some fellow HNers who live in the city—I've never even visited Edinburgh before. Is anyone interested in a drink some time?

Also, as I don't yet have a place to live, I would really appreciate being able to couchsurf with someone for a few days while I find a room. Please let me know if you can help on that front, or you know someone else who you think can.

Many thanks and looking forward to meeting up!

E-science in health and the pharmaceutical industry
http://protogenist.wordpress.com/2012/09/17/e-science-in-health-and-the-pharmaceutical-industry/
E-science is central in enabling many of the core processes in pharmaceutical R&D, from sequence analytics and target selection, high throughput chemical screening, ligand docking and protein structure characterisation, predictive safety model construction, drug metabolism modelling through to the molecular characterisation of disease states. To date, the scale of these analyses and the throughput of the assay technology has meant internal infrastructures have sufficed. However due to significant changes in the pharmaceutical R&D model and rapid advances in key assay technologies, to be competitive, the industry needs to consider alternative models.
