I guess nobody is happy that chromium opens a undocumented network connection to transfer unknown data.

But the biggest problem is that we don't (yet) _know_ exactly why and what is happening. Fortunately we can understand it by looking at the code, and somebody will do that.

Then we can discuss if this was a violation of trust, a simple error, a useful feature etc.
This sounds like it might be similar to an open source http://www.datomic.com/, which also stores temporal quads.

Depends on where you're at and with what company. All of my experience is from the Boston/Cambridge scene, which has a huge glut of labor despite being a hotbed for universities and companies alike.

Novartis pays their fresh PhDs 70-90k DOE, as does my current startup; formerly at my lab in academia postdocs started at 35-50k.

I don't think you need a computer science degree to be a programmer, but I share your concern about Developer Boot Camps.

I interview developers pretty often for my company and I've come across about a handful of people whose only education in development was one of these bootcamps; none of them were anywhere close to being ready for even an entry level position.

So I become super skeptical when people are being asked to pay $13k for a 3 month program that may not actually land them a job. That's a LOT of money.

I'd like to see GA's historical track record - how many of their graduates have received offers within 6 months? Within a year? What were the average starting salaries they received?

Based on my limited exposure to the graduates of these types of bootcamps, I don't think I'd recommend this type of program to anyone, despite having Google's name attached to it.
I never considered this angle -- the overabundance of talent and willingness to self-sacrifice. I thought the species was rare.

External pagers do have a long history in microkernels but I was thinking more on all this "managed code." It's an idea that needs to transfer over more. The container schemes, too, since they're reinventing microkernels.

Mission Motors didn't close because of Apple
Sorry to pick out one tiny point from your post, but, I truly don't think that much of anything they sell is "overpriced". It's more expensive than competitors stuff, but their stuff...sucks.

When I think about the quality of a shitty Dell, HP, ASUS (enter your choice of brand here) laptop computer that can be bought at 1/2 the price of an Apple product, and how it will probably have a totally dead battery in a year. And that half the keys on the keyboard won't work. And the hinges for the monitor will be close to severing. And that I will have had to hack together a *NIX environment that sort of functions 50% of the time. And that the trackpad will suck. And it goes on.

I will gladly pay for Apple doing the work for me, giving me a machine that will last for literally years without fail, getting me a solid dev environment from day 1 with little to none of my time and effort spent.
They're really not analogous situations, because hustle meant one thing, it was modified to mean largely the same thing but a bit different, and people are also continuing to use it with it's previous meaning... which seems to be the part you take issue with. That is not at all what happened with the term gay.

YMM, of course, V, but I've used almost everything I ran into in my collegiate CS-related courses in some form or another. And I find that the stuff that I haven't directly used has contributed to my ability to solve problems--having the prerequisites to be able to assimilate into my corpus of knowledge pretty random stuff has served me extremely well. Much more importantly to me, however, I was exposed to things outside of "that computer stuff" that have made me better at being a manager, a leader, and (as hokey as it sounds) a human being. I literally can't put a price tag on it, but I would be vastly poorer as a person without a liberal education that I think gets aggressively discounted when attempting to view college in purely transactional terms. It is a much greater criticism of college, to me, that a student has to go looking for this stuff; the existence of bachelor's degrees that are functionally trade-school materials is troubling to me. I deal with a lot of technical people who are pretty aggressively ignorant of things that don't involve keyboards or oscilloscopes, and I think that is the greater failure of the American collegiate system.

Don't get me wrong--I'm self-taught too, I'd been writing code for a decade-ish before I went to college, but this stuff changed my life profoundly, and I think minimizing it out of hand is downright tragic. Maybe if there was a better way to get people to acquire this a few years on (calling to mind the idea that people should have a few years of experience before getting an MBA), but there isn't right now.

As far as paying a premium goes--I graduated with about $20K of debt, mostly because it was effectively free money (my total interest payments before I paid them off were less than $2K), and was getting paid through school (did Google Summer of Code twice, ran my own web dev shop, etc.). Bad choices can be made with regards to college, but that's a criticism of overly expensive (private) colleges.

A complicating factor is big box retailers' wish to offer a 'price match guarantee' (particularly to persuade you to bother to come in rather than to buy from Amazon), but never have to pay up on it, which leads them to carry 'retailer exclusive' models from each manufacturer, which might have a suspiciously similar specification to a model sold elsewhere, but in fact have a different model number.

It's important to know that most people make this choice once in a lifetime. After that they'll buy the same product until they die. I'm pretty sure you'll buy Aquafresh from now on if you like it. So choice is difficult the first time but the next time it will be easy.

They already can reconnect limbs and other body parts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replantation.

The problem like always is reconnecting the nerves which isn't something you have to worry about when transplanting organs.

If say you transplant a heart that heart will never talk to the recipients brain it will always continue to function on it's own, this also means that the brain cannot regulate the heart functions through the nervous system so mental states do not affect the hearts operations as they would with most people, hormonal neurotransmitters like adrenaline will still work tho.
Make Your Business Go VIRAL Across the Internet
It's been several years since I've been active in anything resembling this space (I did my master's in a biorobotics lab and was 50/50 between biomedical and mechanical), so take this with a grain of salt.

However, as awesome as this is (composite cellular constructs have always been very difficult), it's probably not especially applicable to biorobotics, because they're using the "wash and repopulate" method for growing the appendage. Basically, you take an existing appendage from a (presumably NOT living and breathing) fully-developed donor animal and strip it of all cellular material. That leaves what's called the extracellular matrix, which is a little bit like the rebar in a reinforced concrete lattice. So ignoring the obvious ethical questions here -- of which there are many, and which are critically important not to ignore -- but ignoring them, if you wanted to build a cyborg robot thing, you'd be much better off skipping the wash and repopulate, and maybe even skipping the "dead" part.

But from my perspective, that's no fun! I'd much rather design my own system from the ground up and have some flexibility to make improvements to "design" unconstrained by the very slow process of evolution. So in that case, I'd want to be able to 3d-print the extracellular matrix[1] and then populate it however I deemed fit, integrating it with a more efficient nerve-computer interface from the start.

I see a lot of comments. So Let me clarify I know developing and CS are not the same. I myself am a college dropout. I have no degree but I spent many years in college starting when I was 16. It took me roughly 5 years after I dropped out to get someone to take a chance on me. The point I am trying to make is you can not be taught the basics in such a short time. The theory is so important to what we do. We don't need to turn out people that can code. We need to turn out people that can push our craft further. We are not a commodity!

Show HN: Staffjoy – Automated Workforce Scheduling
Hi HN, Andrew (andhess) and I co-founded Staffjoy as a side project a year ago after doing college research scheduling. Today we are launching from YCombinator Fellowship!

We saw a lot of tools on the market that helped managers to schedule their hourly workers, but we wanted to build a tool that used technology to do more than just digitize old workflows. Our whole goal is automating the workforce, and using math to create optimal shift schedules is our first step.

Andrew and I will be hanging around here for the day - if you have any question about Staffjoy or YC Fellowship we’re happy to answer them!
It depends on the school. The very best ones like Hack Reactor have a 99% rate for people getting jobs within 6 months, averaging at 100k.

The "average" ones are closer to 75k average starting salary.

Yes, though it would be quite impractical. See for example http://cr.yp.to/talks/2010.05.28/slides.pdf
Can Everyone Hack It?
So here's what Twitter should do:

1. Allow devs to create third party twitter clients. No limits, no restrictions. The loss of dev trust is so big that they need to do something this huge. If they don't do this, I think Twitter will be forced to sell to a bigger company within 18 months.

Allowing third party twitter clients will quickly kill the official clients, as they're a heap of junk from a UX POV. It doesn't matter that Twitter won't control that. People who think this matters seem to think that Twitter is another Facebook. I can't emphasise strongly enough that Twitter is not a Facebook.

2. Make money selling licenses to third parties for data analysis. Change the licensing and make it cheaper. Make it affordable for small developers. Encourage an explosion of innovation in the way tweets are used. Work with these people to offer a better structure for tweets that will help them develop their applications. Then you're the data provider for a huge ecosystem, with a feedback loop that ensures the data increases in value over time.

People seem to not be able to find specific value in twitter's data, but I can see huge potential. Here are some no-brainer examples:

- emergency management (this is being done, all over the world, and it works)

- data-mining comments about companies for feedback.

- recommendation services.

I can think of much more valuable ideas, but as I know people working on startups in this area, I won't share them.

I also don't understand why Twitter have not "app"-ed their platform or partitioned it so that companies can have their own subplatforms. Maybe it's because the official clients are terrible at handling such data.

Man, I could go on... but what a challenge it will be to turn this mess into something meaningful.
Very often yes, to a scary degree. The amount of data normalization, adjustments, aggregation, analysis, etc that happens in some poorly documented and ill maintained macro is mind-boggling (there is a term for it - a model/process being "offline", i.e. not properly source-controlled or auditable).

The real reason is because Excel is still by far the simplest, quickest way to get something done fast when the deadlines are always "yesterday!".

> For example, when using FP in other languages I worry about how the functions I stack together to evaluate lists are implemented.

I'm only speaking for languages I know:

- C# LINQ API via IEnumerable<T> is lazy (aside from a few like Min/Max)

- F# is lazy for any Seq functions or the Lazy() computation

- Clojure is lazy for Sequence functions

You can verify all three by looking at the source on Github if you'd like.

On the other hand, Windows runs on 85 - 90 percent of desktop machines, whereas FreeBSD's market share on the desktop is probably below 1%. (This is not a judgement on FreeBSD's quality as a desktop system, I have used it myself for about two years and was very happy with it. But compared to Windows, its market share on the desktop is tiny.)

For better or worse, there is a difference between a system used by a tiny minority of people (again: on the desktop) and a system that practically has a monopoly on the (corporate) desktop and that is developed and sold by a company that has a history of anti-competitive behavior.

>Browsers don't make money at all, not directly, as you know.

Which is neither here, not there. As I wrote those three browsers don't make money off of ad revenue and/or private data. Chrome does.

Whether the money are made directly or indirectly is beside the point for the purposes of the discussion.

>Microsoft pulls in 11 figures a year in online advertising revenue. As of earlier this year, Apple was still earning more mobile ad revenue than any other firm. And Mozilla is funded almost entirely by companies that earn billions in online ad revenue like Yahoo and Google.

Not that relevant either. Apple sells display ads (iAds etc) and that's it. They don't deal in personal data. Mozilla even less -- whether Yahoo/Google pays it to be the default search engine or not.
Should You Be Allowed to Invest in a Lawsuit?
Last year I had dinner with a student getting his PhD in Future Studies. I asked what are the most interesting technologies we would see in our lifetimes that the majority doesn't know about. He said, without hesitation, graphene and growing human body parts.
I don't know if I completely agree with your implementation, but I definitely see where you're coming from. A lot of CS theory felt bland and only useful in academia. It felt like the theory would only be useful if I was doing research and not application. This was especially true with the data structures, discrete maths and automata. It was almost impossible for me to grasp those concepts without something concrete to back it up, and my homework/test grades in those courses reflected that.

Now that I've been developing for a while, everything has fallen into place. I understand Chomsky's hierarchy, the limitations of regular expressions & stacks, time complexity, and the like. It's like development filled in this enormous gap that I had been missing.
