I made a big response to someone else's comment. I just don't believe that final food temperature is function of temperature where the food touches the pan. However, where your product might shine is where water content determines one very, very important aspect of a finished product, the sear or crispiness.

Let's take the mushroom for example. If the pan's surface temperature is too low or their are too many mushrooms in the pan the water comes out of the mushroom and prevents it from being caramelized and browned. Yes, there is a lot more than just the negligible about of sugar in a mushroom when it browns and I would have been more accurate to use an onion to describe this but I'm sticking with the mushroom. What is caramelization? It is cooked sugars. Caramelization starts at 320 degrees F so if the pan doesn't get past 212 degrees F because water is being released from the mushroom.

There are two ways to brown a mushroom. One, start with very, very high heat, brown the mushroom's surface, then lower the heat so the inside cooks. Or, second, use low heat, let the mushroom release all its water, then after the water evaporates raise the heat. This is the same for caramelized onions. One way is to use high heat which even leaves the inside of the onion crispy[1], and the other is to use low heat for a long time until the water is evaporated[2]. Also, most recipes for ground beef in pasta sauce say to brown the meat on med-high before the moisture comes out, however, adding water initially, and then cook it until the water evaporates before browning it is a valid approach also.

I'm not sure the usefulness of this app in determining the proper final temperature. Plus, anyone can stick a $7 thermometer into a piece of meat. However, many people and professional chefs make the mistake of putting way too much food into a pan. Your app might be a ton more useful warning cooks that their pan is below or above the proper cooking heat. Sea scollaps are the worst for this. There is a huge difference between cooking 4 u-10s or 8 in the pan at the same time because the water being released cools down the cooking surface temp to the point that they are boiled instead of pan fried. However, with sea scallops raising the heat to the pan or changing the cooking duration isn't a solution. The solution is have the right amount of scallops, in a right sized pan, at the right cooking temp.

I think this app can be much more useful in helping cooks learn to maintain the proper surface temp of a pan for wilting spinach, cooking mushrooms, making fried rice, searing scallops, ect. than telling when the food is done. Perhaps, telling when food is done can easily be done with a cheap thermometer but using the right surface temperature is the hard part of cooking.

Almost everything uses libc, so that's an easy one. But after that, libraries tend to be domain specific.

For example, all C++ programs will probably be linked against libstdc++. Programs compiled with gcc have a good chance of being linked against libgcc_s.

All desktop applications are probably going to be linked against libgtk or libqt, libx11, and various other X libraries. In short, there's a significant, obvious benefit.

As I mentioned somewhere else though, if a library is only used by a single application and that library and application are built together, then yes, you might as well statically-link it unless there's some other requirement.

Probably not. But I do see it as preventing a government from requiring a code audit. And we've seen how well black-box software has worked in voting machines.
What you said is "you can be rich without law and organized society, if you can manage to establish yourself as the government".

Which is true in a sense -- though then you've organized society around your interest, and established yourself as the arbiter of law -- but not really an argument against the rich bearing disproportionately the cost for government.
It's not strictly true that we're not doing custom analysis. It must also be understood that while Genomics England have some standard pipelines running we are also providing the capability for partners via our GeCIP programme to work within a walled garden to do custom analysis within domains for rare diseases and cancers. You can read more about that here: http://www.genomicsengland.co.uk/about-gecip/
There's a tradeoff here between making a new feature secure by default (i.e., disabled) and making it easy for your customers to take advantage of it ("No configuration needed: It just works.")

How risky it is to have a feature enabled by default is a function of

a) The complexity of the feature.

b) The reliability of your development and testing process re: security.

and

c) The ultimate severity of any vulnerability.

At the time Windows 2000 was being developed (late '90s), Microsoft tended to systematically underestimate a) and c), while overestimating b). Then came an internal push for better security practices and billg's "Trustworthy Computing" memo. There's a good discussion of it and the consequent sea change here:

http://www.zdnet.com/article/10-years-since-the-bill-gates-s...
It likely will. You revealed an unconscious bias you have. You think that focusing on diversity is lowering the hiring bar. This is a fundamentally biased position -- it assumes minorities are worse tech workers. You're the top comment on a popular HN thread, many people are rebutting you, and are getting linked from many external sources.

All it takes is one hiring manager to read this thread, realize their unconscious bias, and then realize that focusing on diversity does not compromise employee standards. Then a black person gets hired.
Enabling functionality by default makes it available to people on initial installation. From a convenience perspective, it seemed a plausible choice.

It took some effort to get people at Microsoft to start seeing things from a security perspective. The work Michael Howard (who wrote the "10 years since the BillG memo" article 'twoodfin linked to below), Jeannette Wing, and I did on measuring attack surfaces was part of this -- trying to quantify, even roughly, how big the attack surface was so that there could be explicit goals to reduce it. You're certainly right, though, OpenBSD was way ahead of their time here.

My opinion of SRED is mostly negative based on some experience (albeit out of date, from the late 90s and early 00s) and talking to people I know who were trying to get SRED money.

In one instance, a company I worked for hired a consultant to do the application. This consultant basically interviewed everyone on the technical team and tried to coax us into saying every piece of functionality was novel and innovative, whether it was true or not. I came out of that meeting feeling so dirty that I wanted to shower for a couple of hours.

My other experiences were working in companies (or knowing of other people in other companies) who were applying for and getting SRED money where the R&D innovations were at best questionable.

As someone who works in tech, I want programs like SRED to work. On the other hand, being a taxpayer and seeing how some companies are getting SRED money for arguably undeserving R&D work makes me think SRED is a complete waste of taxpayer money.

If you mean Windows/Mac App by cross platform desktop app, I don't have any experience in doing that. But windows is pushing for app that uses javascript so it is probably something that is not too complicated to do.

Apparently a country's peak productivity corresponds to a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius. [1]

So, in isolation you are correct, as higher average temperatures for cold places like Canada or the Scandinavian countries increase, they might actually increase productivity. However, this will be undermined by the instability and worsening productivity of the rest of the world.

We're all in this together.

Okay, I've been researching and reaching out to various entities for, well, going on a couple years now regarding my "start-up" concept of a company that creates some inventions, brings to market, and licenses technology as another revenue stream. Yes, it's not a software-oriented business, but it's a viable entity with multiple prospects. Thus, the following line doesn't really ring true to me:

>One important counterintuitive reason for this is that it’s easier to do something new and hard than something derivative and easy. People will want to help you and join you if it’s the former; they will not if it’s the latter.

In every single instance where I actually get a response, there's a consistent chorus of "this doesn't fit the model of what we support" and, basically, I chalk it up to an investment environment that actually, truly targets the derivative and easy moreso than the unique and difficult.

That's why I'm still slogging along in the self-directed patent process. Nobody is interested in helping (beyond some constructive comments I've received here from community members - thank you!), and certainly not in contributing financial backing. It is what it is...but that claim? I don't really buy it.
What certain Rust users want to do with HKT can already be done with D (maybe they're LKT's, loosely-kinded types -- you heard it here first!) or, for example, quite explicitly, C++, without type classes, so it's quite relevant.
Typically we don't look at other genomes while we find the variants in an individual genome. Each genome is analyzed against the "reference" human genome, which is an average of 10 individuals. This forms the coordinate basis that is shared for everyone else.

Pretty much all genomic data uses a reference genome as the basis. This is versioned, and has a bug tracker, etc., for various regions that have been difficult to assemble.

The flow is:

1. BCL (scans of the glass slide)
2. FASTQ (individual short reads and quality scores, unsorted and in random order)
3. BAM (individual short reads aligned to the reference genome)
4. VCF (the "diff" vs. the reference genome)

All of this can be done with <10GB of reference data and code, where the reference data is the current human genome, a burrows-wheeler transform of the human genome, gene locations, and dbSNP (the database of common human variation).
>Also, can't we explain the dipolar variation with some motion in some direction we haven't accounted for (in our local cluster for instance)? I imagine that quadrupole and octopole variations are harder to explain through motion.

As far as I know that shouldn't be the case. There's no standard frame of reference with respect to which you can move, so for nearly all intents and purposes the earth might as well be standing still. There's also not really any way to 'move' with respect to the CMB; it's always the same time (i.e. distance) away. And at the time of it's creation particles were (presumably) moving in random directions at random speed, with no specific average (or if you want to be precise, with a Lorentz invariant speed distribution).

Searching for 'CMB Lorentz violation' does turn up a few results, but most of those seem to be pure conjecture, I couldn't find any experimental evidence either way.

What I find most worrying with mass-collecting fully sequenced DNA (or DNA at all) is that it is inevitable that law enforcement, military, spy agencies or politicians will want access to the data.

Given enough sequenced DNA and a free-fall of sequencing costs, it might be feasible in the future to find out who exactly took a dump in public just due to DNA. And well, the Israelis are already doing this with dog dumps (http://uk.reuters.com/article/2008/09/16/uk-israel-dogs-idUK...), so applying the same tech to humans is not far away.

Fucking scary if you ask me.

> This new test is also imperfect - it fails to handle noise in measuring inputs/outputs, for example.

This doesn't make the test imperfect, it makes it completely useless when the noise is a wild scrambling function, and worse (and even more importantly), it could be different scrambling functions for group A and group B. And we don't know what they are. In the case of investments, it is a very noisy function, and probably different too.
The reason is simple, it's cheaper than giving people offices.

After several unsuccessful attempts to buy struggling European automakers in 2009, such as Saab, Volvo, and Opel as well as technology from the American Chrysler, BAIC fulfilled its aim of obtaining valuable Western technology that same year purchasing technology from a former unit of General Motors, Saab Automobile. This allows it to produce older Saab models (but not brand them as Saabs[citation needed]) for sale in China.

I think the point is that if the problem is interesting you can get people onboard helping you as ex. tech founders.

But if your problem is trivial (build a en ecommerce website) then they want you to pay them hard cash.

I agree though that some problems might be hard to articulate and so you end up with having a problem getting people to believe in your project.

I personally was trying to convince developers to join me on a venture I wanted to do and had no luck. Then I decided to just pay someone to do a small fraction of what I wanted to do and which I knew I could pay for and now that developer I paid to do my first project is now partnering with me in my next project.

Sometimes you have to look at your idea and see if you can create a much smaller product from what you want so you can get started on someting at least. Then if it's successful you will have people wanting to join you.

I... umm... yeah. Those are all extremely good points. The idea of surviving with major brain damage is almost more scary than thinking I wouldn't come out at all. It also goes towards explaining why when I ask my friends for advice who do have industry experience, they're not willing to do more than tell me I'm an idiot and that if I want to do it safely then I just shouldn't do it.

I feel I should point out that I do try to be mindful not to become a statistic or anecdote. Apart from the obvious reasons, in 2015 it's hard enough to get away with having unsupervised, unstructured and unlitigated fun.
