Stockfighter generates signals about players. Those signals get fed to the Starfighter founders. We might choose to get in touch with particular players and, if they want to have a geek-to-geek chat, have a brief phone call with them. We then, if appropriate, introduce them to people who can hire them at our clients. We get paid if that introduction results in an accepted job offer.

People have asked us about a variety of ways to cheat on the games. Some of them don't strike us as even a little bit problematic, e.g. using an OSS library to access our API. (Some folks are already working on these and we're thrilled about that development.)

Some of the ways people could cheat on Stockfighter are, from the perspective of someone wanting to hire engineers, pretty awesome. If you get arbitrary code execution which busts out of an emulator written by the Ptaceks I urgently want to make your acquaintance.

Some of the other, more boring ways that one could cheat do not particularly strike me as bothersome to our business model. We're not selling certs; we're brokering introductions of candidates to businesses that want to hire them. Scamming a row out of our database doesn't meaningfully negatively affect the world, Starfighter, or our clients. I've got lots of rows.
Aspects of a toxic manager:

We spent a long time adjusting the design of our social app platform, http://qbix.com/platform

Basically we have a solution where users have accounts, and their contacts can have labels. They can assign access based on the labels, or to individual users. When the user represents an organization the labels basically represent roles for permissions. The same system is used for both people sharing with friends and organizations sharing with various members.

Now, as a user you can also invite others. Then a unique invitation link is generated, and securely delivered to an endpoint such as an email or sms. The recipient may choose to follow the link, which confirms their email address or mobile number. From there, we see if they already have an account or create a new one without any action on their part. (Password can be set up next time they try to log in with that email address or mobile number.)

It is at this point that we look at the access granted in the invite. We make sure that the inviting user has at least those permissions (so you can't eg send yourself an invite to survive getting banned from a chatroom) and then grant them to the invited user via the access system.

We have three levels of permissions: readLevel, writeLevel and adminLevel. Each ranges from 0 to 40, signifying various things (eg a writeLevel of 40 lets you delete that whole social collaborative thing).

So the invitations are kind of like capabilities. And we do a check upon the person redeeming the invitation. But once the user accepts the invitation, they have an id and we use our general system of access control, so admins can set up the access for various types of contacts.

This is amazing. I was astonished that even zip code data is proprietary data of the USPS in the United States. It's possible to "reverse engineer" the data from publicly available census data (zip code tabulation areas) which is what I do and publish for free on ZipLocate[0]. Comparable datasets cost $499.

Canada's situation is even worse. Geocoder.ca has been sued by Canada Post[1] to take down their data (which Canada Post was selling for $5000).

The whole address data situation is really terrible. Glad to see Australia opening up the data.

Remember: web workers communicate (to the best of my knowledge) using a full serialization/deserialization of message objects (which is why they added transferable objects). So, to create a one-to-many broadcast mechanism, you'd do exactly what I described. Additionally, I am unsure, but I could easily see immutable strings being copied nonetheless between web workers because of the desire to give every worker a private heap.

>So yes, it is theoretically possible to eat complete and healthy without meat. It's also theoretically possible to put 3 chop sticks on top of each other, put them on your head and walk like that to your super market. That doesn't mean you can do it, by adding some beans and nuts to your diet. It's so complicated that some doctors think they can't do it for a long time to themselves.

This is such FUD nonsense; pretty deplorable on this forum. There's nothing theoretical about eating "complete and healthy without meat" - people have been living on vegan and vegetarian diets for centuries without ill effects. People have become bodybuilders, MMA fighters while being vegan too, not that the vast majority of humans need to measure their diets by those of elite athletes.

As for "so complicated" here is the American Dietetic Association:

>It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes.

If so they are relying on a pretty simplistic interpretation of the cost/benefit of sweatshops-style labor for developing societies. Sweatshop laborers can be argued to be investing in their own futures through one of the few avenues to a stable income they have access to. Same can't really be said for the staggering majority of livestock.

I don't get this part. Why not? Alice and Bob can still do what they can do, and if Alice is able to send messages to Bob then she can ask Bob to do that very thing. It wouldn't be a confused deputy attack only in that Bob would have to go out of his way to be a confused deputy.

Infallibility is probably the wrong word, on second thoughts.

Part of what I mean is you want your kids to know that you'll be there for them and you always have their best interests at heart. You want them to rely on you like the sun coming up in the morning, and you want to be able to bear that weight. Stability breeds healthy kids who aren't anxious about sudden change.

But if you make a mistake, you have to show them that it's OK to back down and apologise. Because they will know when you're being unfair, or if you're saying one thing but doing another. You're not earning their respect and trust if you do otherwise.

I can't speak for the other acquisitions, but at Tumblr it's safe to say that nearly all engineering talent that was there pre-acquisition has left. I'm not able to speak to reasons why, but suffice to say, if acquiring Tumblr was intended to be an acquihire, the plan failed.

OK, I'm curious now.

I've seen a lot of comments from two of you (you and tptacek) here on HN, and never noticed anything in those that would have led me to guess either of you had a sufficient interest in gaming to want to start a gaming company.

Did I just not notice your comments indicating a gaming interest, or were you wise enough to stay out of gaming threads knowing they usually turn to pointless time wasting crap, or what?

Seriously, if this is true, as an Australian who has worked with this data in government, and who has gone through the gamut of trying to find such data wrt my own projects, this will be fantastic.

One of the biggest barriers that made me leave out various geographical/address routines in my own work was the legal minefield regarding who owns and can use this kind of data, and that I'd put myself at too much risk even if I did get some details together "legitimately".

Short answer is actually: maybe!

The bulk of the work done in this code (in terms of FLOPS and, likely, wall-clock time) is going to be in BLAS-3 operations in the feed-forward and back-prop steps. That is, almost all of the work is done using Matrix-Matrix multiplies and in-place arithmetic/transcendental functions.

CUBLAS[1] will allow you to run these types of operations on your GPU at highly accelerated rates, without much more effort than replacing your BLAS library with a new binary. Additionally, if you want finer granularity control over what gets done on the GPU, there are other libraries[2] which provides a direct interface to CUBLAS.

I wonder if I have been targeted. I used TOR a few times, once I tried to use it to look at my craigslist ads because I thought the ads I had had been flagged by other people selling the same sort of items I was selling, but CL was altering what I saw based on IP. Turns out CL blocks TOR and it didn't even help me.

I use Ubuntu as my main operating system, I started that just because I thought it was neat. I don't recall searching for Tails, but I've tried probably close to 50 different Linux distros so I wouldn't be surprised if I've visited the site or at least read articles on it. (I count downloading the ISO and booting it up as a VM and clicking around for 20 minutes as trying one.)

No, ack/nack would need to be implemented in the client or the application.

However, messages do not disappear from the queue when received. All subscriber requests are idempotent, and can be repeated so long as the message queue is storing the message (which is a configurable parameter). So if a subscriber failed before processing it, it's free to request the same message again.

The main size is dealing with libxml, but that's readily handled by smaller xml libraries [http://pugixml.org]. I mean, maybe you don't want to do SVG on an arduino.

Directly comparing SVG and PNG libraries purely based on library size is misleading. PNG's aren't layered, don't contain semantic information, etc. For me librsvg is lightweight since its way better than installing phantomjs as I have been doing to generate embedable PNGs for documents.

Almost totally unrelated, but taking the opportunity to rant. If you use OS X, your getopt is fully POSIX compliant (as are many BSDs, I think), unlike most Linux distributions. This means globs (files arguments) must come after optionals.

For example:

OK

ls * .txt -la

Not OK

This drives me mad.
I'm sure patio11 will reply, but my take: The purpose of Starfighter is to engage talented engineers long before they start searching for new jobs. When it's time for a job change, Starfighter will leverage their relationship with the player and the player's demonstrated engineering skills to connect them with employers looking for matching candidates. As high as referral fees are and as hard as great engineers are to find, this looks like a win for everybody.

Any time the subject of democracy or voting comes up, I like to post this old link that I found in someone else's HN comment long ago: http://zesty.ca/voting/sim/

It shows how different voting systems behave in different multi-candidate scenarios where candidates differ on more than one axis (as they always do, a fact which is not represented by our linear left/right political narrative). A better voting system would do more for democracy than better districting.

I think in this case, game is less "Mass Effect" or "Grand Theft Auto" and more alternate reality + really hard (programming/networking) puzzles, where the mechanics to the puzzles have some non-fictional relevance to how you would really exploit, reverse engineer and attack a network or system, thus proving competence in a few key areas.

Monetization is through taking people that have both completed and/or done really well in this game and are interested in new employment, and after a few in-person meetings with the Ptaceks and Patrick, you might get a private lunch with a CTO looking to hire (in their words, IIRC). They would get finders fees for that.
> global message id / global channel
Yeah, I don't have global ids. every message is bound to the channel it was published to. But I do understand that for your use case, (user + arbitrary list of groups), you'd need a good deal more than 4 channel multiplexing. It's a pretty strong use case and I'll see what I can do in the next month.

For what it's worth, using the term "'Murica" in your post comes across as demeaning, and is thus inappropriate for HN.

Given that the image is a product of an American-led project, it seems perfectly reasonable (however unfortunate for the scientific community at large) that standard American units would be used to describe it.
I had this running on Android a while back - turns out that back then (~3 years ago) it was _very_ hard to detect and recognise plates far enough away to be of any use. I could make it work for a plate in my target set that was directly in front or behind me, but any further that a few tens of meters away the performance dropped so badly that it was unusable.

I suspect a much better job could be done now, with a combination of better cameras in phones, more cpu available to do the processing on newer phones, and I suspect a multicopter brushless camera gimbal to stabilise/aim the camera.

(I was very space-limited, since I was testing this on a motorcycle, a car with a better-than-phone-grade machine in it would make the job simpler.)

Alright, I'll give you that there are a ton of GHC extensions after getting a list of them, all 106 as of GHC 7.10[0].

This does make me wonder why having so many extensions was never an issue for me.

> The Haskell community really got its shit together over the last 3 years. Cabal got a lot better, a bunch of key libraries got good, our compiler is fixed some major bugs

Agreed.

> I love Haskell, I really do. I wish I could ship more code with Haskell, and like it as well. But the OP asked about why Haskell didn't take off. Its ecosystem was in what we might call a state of growth and flux at the time a lot of stream and batch computation systems were shipping.

Fair enough.

> Oh and uh, I think Haskell's community is full of some truly toxic people, an intersection of some of the ugliest and most arrogant personalities of the Scala world who's primary education strategy can only be called "negging."

I've seen this personality type in other languages, but not Haskell yet. I too abhor the "negging" type, as well as the subculture that term arose from.

In my experience, getting most designers I work with to use any new tool or adapt to any new process is about as easy as preventing the sales staff from selling features before we've written them. At my last job, we couldn't even pin designers down to a pattern library. Why am I the one who has to convince designers a pattern library is a good idea?

I digress. This tool is a good thing because specialization is good, and if I, someone who uses git on the reg, can still monumentally fuck up its usage, I'm not going to force it on anyone who doesn't absolutely need it.
