Still, answering ANY salary range question with "... or you can start a business" is such a refreshing outlook! Certainly not one I was exposed to in 7th grade.
I read part of this article to my wife and she immediately say, "What, are they stupid?" Apparently, that's exactly the point of the article. People react far more emotionally than rationally.
I'm a surgery intern. I think tablets will have to become as ubiquitous and uninteresting as cell phones before residents would start carrying them. If there's a code and you have to respond, you can't just drop a tablet in your pocket and run. If you leave it at the nurse's station at the county hospital, there's every reason to assume some gangbanger visiting his gangbanger buddy will take it. If you're going to the OR, there is precious little horizontal space where you can safely lay something down, or even lean it. Everything in an OR is on wheels, and is likely to get sprayed with some fluid, before, during, or after the case.

I also think authentication will need to get lighter and more responsive. I think thumbprint detectors in the margin would be ideal. Pick it up and login. Logout if it sits without input for 2 minutes. If someone else picks it up, immediately log me out and log them in.

Along with authentication, most hospitals use Citrix clients, but not all Citrix servers seem to be configured for various clients. I have never been able to access our Citrix server via iPhone, but the BlackBerry folks can.

As for electronic notes, the "eCare" system at Sentara hospitals here in Virginia is overall faster than the paper notes at the naval hospital, but not as coherent. Designers need to come in, look at hand-written notes, and figure out how to lay that out in electronic notes. Tables upon tables of (value, high/low marker, units, normal range) for all 30 or so elements of a CBC is unnecessary when all I want is

\ 13 /

7.2 ---- 335 84 N

/ 35 \

and that should fit on two lines, and the BMP should fit next to it, and the calcium-mag-phos should fit next to that, and the LFTs, and the coags . . . it should take all of 2-3 lines on the note, because that way it all stays in your field of view and you can think about it without having to scroll back and forth past gobs of data you're not interested in. Same with radiology: echo the impression, not the whole report. Vitals: always, always, always Tmax, Tcurrent, HR, BP, RR, SpO2, unless you're in a critical care setting, where you want the same order, but with ranges.

It's all really fairly straight forward, but someone who knows CSS needs to sit down and figure it out.

Mt. Gox Receives Subpoena From Federal Prosecutor: Source

Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox has received a subpoena from federal prosecutors in New York, according to a person familiar with the matter, dealing another blow to the embattled marketplace for buyers and sellers of the virtual currency.

Mt. Gox, one of the largest bitcoin exchanges, shut down on Tuesday, underscoring the risks of bitcoin, the virtual currency that has seen a meteoric rise in the past year. The subpoena was sent this month and asked Mt. Gox to preserve certain documents among other things, the person said.

It's such a shame that useful proof-of-work is so impractical. The amount of cycles spent mining for the sake of mining is pretty depressing.
It didn’t just happen. Government deregulation of airlines made it happen.

But people are screaming for just the opposite with stores that don’t accept cash. They want government intervention.

> Facts can be shown in a way that manipulates, is that ok or not?

That's an easy one, yes it is ok. If we just get rid of outright lies, that will do tremendous positive change in the news sphere. Manipulation can be subjective, but facts cannot. Manipulation is best left to the apprehension of the individual end users, because in other case it will just get more intricate and will never be fully caught anyway. Plus the determining of what is manipulation and what is legitimate weighing of facts is always going to be subjective, so there is nothing to do here.
That's the one I saw too. They do the processing on some server, too, which might explain the price tag, and is a bit problematic privacy-wise.
Not having an app on your smartphone does not outweight the bad sides to me. In Spain tho, mytaxi came before Uber.
Surely resolvers for a TLD with 100K domains and 1MM lookups per day are cheaper to run than those with 100MM domains and 1BB lookups per day.

It may not have an obvious change with a single new domain registered, but surely there are significant variable costs.

(To be clear, I oppose this transaction, just not on the grounds that root name servers are all fixed costs.)
In some (if not most) cases it would have my preference the truth would tone it down. ;)
Just out of curiosity: say you've recently stolen more than $1B from various people, some of whom might have a somewhat shady background - how would you disappear in this time where everything is electronically tracked, you have instagram, facebook, forums etc.?
The other opposition parties are not viable because they are (1) terribly organized (2) run by personality cults --> both of these are traits which do not lend well to 'creating a better alternative'.

They can't even get a newsletter going without fighting about it -> level of disorganization and in-fighting.

You are 100% correct. It costs a lot of $ and time (6 months or longer) to replace a good software developer. So if you do it all the time, your company will be operating way below what it needs to be competitive. The moment your company management starts saying “everybody is replaceable” you know the company is going downhill and it is time for you to find a better job.
The author's reward will probably be a DMCA takedown.
That the process breaks down in some cases doesn't mean they don't know how to prioritize. They clearly know how to prioritize well enough to make a wildly successful and enjoyable game. That doesn't mean no bad decisions were made over the last decade or so of development.

Like anything else, things will be as bad as the market allows. So I'd expect monopolies to do a worse and worse job of making good decisions and companies in competitive fields to do a better and better job over time. Thus the difference between TakeTwo and Facebook, and the need for lower cost of entry and greater competition in all economic endaevors where efficiency or good decision making is important.
This is what Rich said about TCO in Clojure in 2010:

```quote:

When speaking about general TCO, we are not just talking about
recursive self-calls, but also tail calls to other functions. Full TCO
in the latter case is not possible on the JVM at present whilst
preserving Java calling conventions (i.e without interpreting or
inserting a trampoline etc).

While making self tail-calls into jumps would be easy (after all,
that's what recur does), doing so implicitly would create the wrong
expectations for those coming from, e.g. Scheme, which has full TCO.
So, instead we have an explicit recur construct.

Essentially it boils down to the difference between a mere
optimization and a semantic promise. Until I can make it a promise,
I'd rather not have partial TCO.

Some people even prefer 'recur' to the redundant restatement of the
function name. In addition, recur can enforce tail-call position.

```endquote

Should the blind modify their browsing habits to only include sites that have built in audio transcriptions?

Or, perchance, is it the right of every website viewer to consume the website in the way they deem most fit?
True. So let's go with the hubris angle, then. Like others have said below, we trusted that Gox was secure as well.
Or just a lack of testing. There's no way to know how many database calls are too many without actually testing the damn thing.
In javascript you would call this like:

var myfunc = overload([
{ type: 'String', properties: 'Object', next: 'Function' },
{ type: 'String', next: 'Function' },
function(type, properties, next) { ... }]);

I can think of some vendors who offer source sharing agreements on their closed products for auditing purposes. I'd speculate Boeing would offer the same if the contract is valuable enough, especially if its DoD writing the check.
I'd encourage you to set up shop as an entrepreneur, consultant, or ISV. Then you will a.) get to keep all of the wealth you create (well, minus taxes - damn you Uncle Sam) and b.) get a true idea of how much wealth you actually create.

Personally, I've done both the entrepreneur and employee route, and I created and kept a whole lot more money as an employee. I may go back to being an entrepreneur in the future - I'm certainly a lot more skilled than the last time I tried it - but the experience of founding my own startup and working 5 years in a big company has taught me a whole lot about the value that other job functions create, like sales, design, management, finance, capital, etc. It's really easy to look at your output as a software developer and say "I built the thing that makes my company hundreds of millions of dollars, and I only get to see hundreds of thousands of it", without realizing that none of that hundreds of millions in value would've been created without marketing to understand what people want, product design to understand how to supply it, UX to make it usable, sales to let people know about it, management to make all these functions work together, or finance to pay for it.
I agree, and I'm someone who usually favours a non-privatised approach for utilities. In my council area, the refuse collection is contracted out (to one supplier for the region) and it seems reasonably efficient. Truck goes past at the same time each week, never have a problem.

This covers bins for general waste, green waste and recycling. There is also an annual on-demand service for heavy waste (e.g., whitegoods, furniture) handled by a contractor. Council points me to the contractor, I make the request and get a date to put out my two cubic metres of junk. Works well enough.
There's nothing interesting at all really - the 30 under 30 is not about achievement, but rather a certain measure of social status. And as startups have become the new cool thing to do, so it is reflected here.

In other words, you're observing the same variable. It'd be like saying "interesting how many of these have high Twitter follower counts".
From my experience/observation, I believe this is what EmberJS is trying to do, combine best practices of the past with new learnings today. SmallTalk for example, heavily influences the framework, as does a number of historically successful frameworks. I am not arguing that Ember is perfect, but I believe what you state is part of their objective.
I have frequently seen a thread begin with ill-informed, substanceless dismissal, and then turn around and produce a well-reasoned and informative discussion. That's one of the reasons I visit HN regularly, but not any other discussion site.

Exactly.

An account registration is basically like a hit metric.

The creation of an account does not imply that it will be used or the person who created it has not created many more either accidentally or for example because they could not log in.
IANAL, but I'm not sure Ford actually has a leg to stand on.

1) If I understand it correctly this data could be considered a list of facts and thus isn't copyrightable (just like a table of contents, or the list of ingredients in recipe). If it's not copyrightable, then the DMCA doesn't apply. See Lexmark Int'l v. Static Control Components.

2) The DMCA has a specific exemption for "interoperability purposes" which I could see this falling under as well but that's a weaker argument.
I'm a math teacher and I saw a weird hivemind effect recently. A student was showing a proof, but I felt one of the steps seemed wrong (I wasn't sure). So I asked everyone else if it was right. They responded with a chorus of "yes" "of course" and a little laughing. Eventually the proof ended up showing something that was not true. So I went back to that step and again asked for confirmation. Again most of them agreed. I wrote the formula to be sure: log(A+B) = log(A) * log(B). Eventually one student with a different text book had looked it up and found it's wrong after all. How had most of the others been so confident that it was right? Surely they hadn't actually learnt it wrong. They must have been making their decision on some other factor, perhaps the fact that all their vocal classmates agreed.

At least they weren't giving negative feedback to the one who made the original mistake though. So I guess he won't continue to make worse mistakes as this article suggests.

The only think I know about Michigan towns is what I read on Wikipedia and see on Google, so you have me at a distinct disadvantage. Totally FWIW though, a stupidly quick googling (http://www.google.com/search?q=software+ann+arbor) reveals a fair number of software companies doing stuff from factory floor automation to RFID to iPad apps to circuit design to network management and analytics. Your "4-5 companies" phrase was surely hyperbole, but it would appear that there's worthwhile stuff going on in Ann Arbor. ("Worthwhile" being entirely subjective, of course.)

Besides that, all I can do is offer my own anecdote. I started Snowtide in 2001, failed badly (via circumstances and my own stupidity), resurrected it in 2004, and it's been profitable ever since. Bootstrapped from the beginning (the products we sell and the problems I'm interested are largely of little interest to VCs), we've grown (and shrunk -- last year was not fun) in Western Massachusetts the whole time. While we had offices in Northampton (pop. 28K according to Wikipedia), we hosted a series of talks; Rich Hickey came in 2008 (http://cemerick.com/2008/03/21/western-mass-developers-group...), and Ben Fry in 2009 (http://cemerick.com/2009/04/28/snowtide-informatics-welcomes...). We regularly had showings of over 30 @ 7PM on thursday nights, and closer to 50-60 for the Hickey and Fry talks (something that I know fairly popular groups in Boston and NYC have trouble pulling off) -- all remarkably pleasant, talented people doing interesting work, either for other local companies or as telecommuting contractors.

Perhaps it's the universities and colleges in the area that make it work – it's Massachusetts after all, so you literally can't drive for more than 10 minutes without passing another one.

In any case, when I hear people say (or, more typically, imply) that vibrancy in software community and opportunity is somehow naturally limited to specific geographies, I get a little irritated: that attitude might keep someone else (more like, many someone elses) from starting a company or taking a job in a locale that isn't on the "shortlist", even when locale isn't relevant to their success.
I pirated Photoshop for nearly all of my young life, since the release of 1.0. The day my business made its first dollar from photoshopped images, we bought the entire Adobe Creative Suite.

Not have bought it anyway has a strange way of turning into bought the whole damn thing.

I have no trouble at all with people who pirate to dabble, but I do have trouble with people who pirate software and then use it to make money.
This doesn't make sense. That's a good argument for things that are compared side by side by TV ads, but landing pages don't have to be unique to be effective. The "difference" you're talking about won't be noticed by anyone but other web marketers.
Can't we just make a backward compatible IPV6 bis, move on and forget this fiasco ?
Some things I did not expect:

- 50% of the codebase changes every month;

- Single code tree;

- All of the development happens in HEAD (ditto for dependencies);

- It seems to be (relatively) usual to touch multiple components in a single changeset.

And all of this in the first 10 minutes.

Although slightly off-topic, it is interesting to see that some kinds of mistakes never die. As a schoolboy, I once thought that 0^0 can only take the values 0 and 1. (which is quite similar to the author's mistake to think that 0^0 is always 1)

I thought so because for x → 0,

0^x → 0

x^0 → 1

x^x → 1

and I couldn't find any other expressions of the type "0^0" that have a limit different from 0 and 1. I even wrote a "proof" for it, which of course was flawed, but it took others (and me) quite some time to find the exact mistake in my "proof".

0^0 is completely indefinite in the sense that you can find "0^0" expressions for any limit a you want it to be. Here's an example for that kind of expressions:

x ^ (ln a / ln x) → a

Although I wasn't able to come up with those as a schoolboy, this is an easy exercise for any math student.
V8 is a single-threaded VM and I don't see that changing any time soon, it's very much married to Chrome's per-process model. SpiderMonkey doesn't have that drawback, it supports threads just fine.

These guys have their work cut out for them if they want to support the V8 API from within SM. It's a well designed API but large and fast moving.

Still, an interesting project. I'm going to watch it, maybe submit a few patches.
The thing is, if you're inexperienced and mistake-prone, work on a pet project to gain experience (like the Linux kernel in 1992, or your flavor of location-based mobile social coupon sharing app today). Don't start pushing magic numbers into a software product that millions of people depend on.
Apparently most of their problems are caused by bad EBS writes/performance, or at least so they said a few weeks ago after some particularly bad downtime.

It looks like EBS will randomly decide to switch to a few bps of performance from time to time. I would use Amazon for my startup, but these issues really make it hard to justify.
This seems dangerous. If the entrepreneur takes VC money before having a working product and user base, then they have no leverage to negotiate a good terms sheet. Better I think to take a seed round and angel round first even if one can go straight to VC. The 15-20% equity you give up in the first two rounds will at least buy some powerful allies if done strategically, in addition the leverage of a concept you have had time to validate.
I read them in English. The translations are great and I'm pretty sure he vetted them carefully. IIRC, his son did some of them, in between being an opera singer.

My favorite was Luzhin's Defense, about a chess master who goes mad. But I liked all of them, including Despair, Glory, and Invitation to a Beheading. Invitation to a Beheading is unusual, sort of phantasmagoric—a bit like Kafka at his most dreamlike. If you like movies that play games with "what is real", it's in that spirit.

The first two English novels Sebastian Knight and Bend Sinister are very much in the style of his Russian novels. But the language of the Russian novels is lush rather than brittle, and this comes out even in the translations.

My impression of Nabokov is that he was inwardly a romantic and even a sentimentalist, but was conflicted about that and so wrapped it in many layers of cleverness. For me, the cleverness and self-reference get to be too much in the later work. He's at his best when the cleverness and the romanticism are equally matched and the tension between them has the most energy. People say the sentimental side comes through more strongly in his memoir (Speak, Memory) but I haven't read that one.
