Submitting to ML conferences isn't a fun experience. One wait for months and the reviews are noisy. We envision an open review platform where anyone can rate and review any research papers. Decouple paper review from publication to break from the zero-sum game mentality of conference reviewing. Let's together build the IMDB for research papers. Thank you!

A light hearted look at the great format wars of our time
http://www.venturecake.com/a-light-hearted-look-at-the-great-format-wars-of-our-time/
Another great format war ended this week, with Blu-Ray to 70% of released films and, according to the Financial Times, HD-DVD left with one major studio.

We've been here before: whether RealPlayer versus Windows Media, BSD versus Linux, or boxers versus briefs. Let's take a look back at some of the great format wars of our time.

Heavy Holiday Reading List
http://cacciatc.github.com/other/2011/12/14/heavy-holiday-reading-list.html
Some reading list items I found via HN, others not.
Ask HN: BP shows $3B in ~5 years, would that justify an ask of $600K
BP is for a product that is a blend of a web service, and some actual hardware. First year's costs all in suggest I would need $600K to start ($500k actual costs and about $100K for marketing). Within first six months should be able to break even for on-going costs, and show significant profit by the second year.

I get the feeling that a request of that size would be too much for the usual startup model. So should I look at other alternatives, or would the fact that there is significant hard/software costs be taken into account?
Magento & WordPress Integration: Is It The Right Balance? 
http://www.cloudways.com/blog/magento-wordpress-integration/

3. Integrating WordPress into Magento

Crown Capital Management Climate Concerns: Africa's best hope
http://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals-network/2013/nov/27/africa-climate-change-knowledge-aaknet
Climate change is one of the defining issues of our time, and Africa is the most vulnerable continent to its impact. A crucial determinant of the continent's future is how well adaptation strategies are developed and implemented throughout the region. Adaptation is knowledge intensive, and there is an urgent need for improved access to relevant and usable knowledge to support new initiatives.

Ask HN: Tax considerations for self employed
Hi there,
I am self employed and as I begin a new corp-to-corp contract (my first one), I have been thinking about taxes at the end of the year. I don't want to have a large tax liability at the end of the year (10K+). So, I have been looking into payroll tax services as an option. Has anyone here tried them for their self-employment income? Which one and was it worth it? Any gotchas or negative experiences?

How to kill my Google services
Hi Community!

I have the following services with google which I use a lot:
1. GMail: s...@gmail.com
2. Calendar: s...@gmail.com

I want to move to a personal e-mail domain. What do you think is the best way to move out peacefully. I have about 900 contacts on Gmail. And what software do you recommend. I also want to get a domain using a top-level domain that is not under a government control like USA, is there any?

Thank you!

Show HN: generate nicer nunit/specflow test reports using this new XSLT template
https://github.com/mvalipour/specflow-report-templates/tree/master/nunit-dream
Recently I was setting up the reporting for our acceptance tests that I noticed two issues.<p>(1) it's terribly simple in style!
(2) it's missing some info such as namespaces (for when you have many folders in which you have tests) and categories.<p>So I edited the existing XSLT and rectified those two issues for me by adding twitter bootstrap style, prismJs syntax highlighting and adding the missing information to the output.<p>I hope this could be helpful for you too.<p>P.S. in case you have your own special-purpose report XSLT why not share it with others in the project?

Ask HN: experience with outsourcing human resources
I'm about to hire a first employee, and I would prefer to hand a lot of the administrative burden over to someone else. I've investigated a few firms that handle payroll, but there are others that offer to handle everything that a company would normally hire human resources professionals to do. I have a basic understanding of payroll, health insurance, and 401k after running an single employee S-Corp for over a year, but I'm concerned about the legal complexities of having employees who aren't me. Does anybody here have experience with doing this? In particular, I've come across the concept of Professional Employer Organizations (AKA employee leasing firms) and the whole thing seems a bit fishy, especially since most of the information that's readily available seems to be produced by these firms themselves and I'm wondering what the practical difference is between this approach and (to use a term that seems to have been coined by the PEO industry) an Administrative Services Organization that handles the paperwork and provides advice but isn't the employer of record.

'Chinese is rooted in hieroglyphic characters. Typing in Chinese on an alphabet-based keyboard can be slow, especially for middle-aged and older users.

Web 2.0 - Should Businesses Block or Embrace?
http://www.securityweek.com/web-20-should-businesses-block-or-embrace
The consumerization of IT is affecting all aspects of the way we work. As Web 2.0 technologies continue to gain popularity amongst employees, IT departments are struggling to understand and manage the challenges.

Unfortunately for employers, people still found ways to partake in these activities – unmanaged and unsecured. If companies had initially recognized the potential of these outlets and found ways to embrace them in the first place, they could have saved themselves a lot of trouble in the long run...
