Wow. I can't believe you found that. That video is from the version I lost from a hard drive failure. This version I completely rebuilt from scratch (with version control). This one is much better actually.

The whole purpose of the offer is to let the client decide how much you're worth to them. I provide no up-front rate or fee.

It's always the clients who claim to be 'innovative', 'game changing', 'disruptive' etc. that are the most risk averse. They seem completely blind to the cognitive dissonance.
This article resonated with me. Note that currently I don't work in a team development environment. There are 3 of us and we each have our own respective technologies we develop for or with. One of my responsibilities is some Java backend code. I'm 80% of the way done developing a complex routing system that runs under apache camel. I'm maybe 150 hours into the development.

As it relates to this article, even when developing a new system I find I have to keep challenging my original assumptions and refactor out the complexity where I can as I go. Its like razing a child and impacting new life rules each few months.

Yesterday I realized the customer had provided some requirements that we wrong and now I have to go factor that into the code in the next couple of days. I am so glad that I have unit tests. I will be rewriting several unit tests today and adding more and then write the new requirements into the code base. It feels like when you have a child and wake up in the morning ready to go to work and your child says, Dad take me to the doctor I don't feel so good. All of a sudden your day or next several days are not what you had planned for but still you have to proceed with the new path.
> And parts of the developed world, like the US, are just as corrupt (or more corrupt) than India, only in different and potentially even more damaging ways, like having an election system captured by corporations.

I'll just have to disagree. The one thing every single Brazilian comments after traveling to the US or Western Europe is how honest and rule-based everything is.

You do have a corruption problem in the US, and it seems to be growing. Just don't think it's as big as in the developing countries.
BJP is a very nataionalist party that has been accused (with some pretty strong evidence) of siring up sectarian violence.

And this is major riots with large numbers of deaths not just descrimination.
Mh, that is confusing. I corrected it - thanks.
Ignore all the people here telling you to open-source this (for now). You have a product and a compelling story. This could be one of the rare games that actually makes money.

Once you have a playable game that looks good and is fun, your main problem is getting noticed and making it easy for people to get your game and pay you for it.

You've got a good story, which is key to marketing and getting noticed. You worked on a game for 6 years -- that sounds crazy. The media likes crazy. You're on social assistance -- people love feel-good rags-to-riches stories. So those boxes are checked.

Look at all the help that random people on HN have already offered!

I'd say run with this ... and ignore the open-sourcing advice. Only open-source it if either you've given up on profiting from it (as a product rather than a portfolio piece).

There've already been a lot of good suggestions about hosting and putting up a website, so I wont' repeat those.

Those already exist, and not just for the drug trade. For example a bunch of fingernail painting salons recently got raided in my town for that.

You don't need license conditions for that, though, it's already covered under the law of slavery, minimum wage, immigration, etc.

Skydiving. I was 32 few years ago when I started and I found out that not only I get to to do fun stuff in the sky, but I get to hang with great people. I can barely fly on my belly, but it's fun too :)

That's the summer. In winter I read books, fly in a wind tunnel and ski.
I've read somewhere that some official reason is that they were then an "unfair competition" to the other content producers in the UK, including to the "local" BBC, which is "not the same" as BBC worldwide that is "for profit," but I don't have any link ready, and I don't see it mentioned in the HN discussion that sensecall links here.
I think you're fundamentally right, when considering the benefits DDG vs Google offer today, at a static point in time. Remember, however, that the world is dynamic and constantly changing, and things like the Snowden leaks change how much we/consumers value privacy vs easy of use (and certainly factors that affect things in Google's favor can happen too!). I am guessing that most people who get screwed over by their insurance company, even once, are willing to pay a higher premium in the future (assuming they can afford it after suffering the financial damage caused by said insurance company refusing to pay).

My original point was that things are changing, DDG is improving, and some things are purely perception issues. We like to talk about companies and markets in terms of battles, with concrete winners and losers coming out at the end of the day, but things are always changing. Google is the clear winner today (but also had a 10 year head start), but it may or may not always be that way.
It's definitely not as simple as putting your designers in front of a visual programming language and then taking a vacation. They do need to be educated in some design principles and, whenever they don't know how to solve something, they'll fetch a programmer to help them.

In the end, though, when you have built up an existing team of designers and artists who know how to work in that environment, they can often train newcomers and help each other figure out some rather non-trivial stuff without it resulting in a terrible mess.

Also, the way it's used where I work, the majority of these tasks are essentially shoveling data between different parts of the system and hooking existing things up to each other.
BJP is a right wing "Hindu" party with close ties to nationalist organizations like Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Shiv Sena. They have had a rather sordid history in the last couple of decades wrt religious violence - Gujarat Riots, Babri Masjid demolition etc.,

Recently, there have been some incidents which have resulted in communal/religious tensions flaring up

1. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/india-divided-after-hindu-mob-lynch...

2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._M._Kalburgi

India's intellectuals have started criticizing the Government for not speaking out against this violence. In fact, some BJP affiliated people have made some really controversial statements with regards to Muslims in India. Arundhati Roy is among a host of people who are returning their awards in protest of the Government's stance.
It does not seem like you understand the historical context of written Chinese; or the importance of social class within Confucianism. You would be better off reading a textbook on the sociology of ancient China; instead of abusing google translate.

Jared Diamond would be a good author to start reading from, if you are unfamiliar with the topic. My primary source has been Chinese friends, and they have explained that "Bad Luck" is one example of a regressive tradition which was abolished during the cultural revolution.

It is my opinion that the phrase "Bad Luck" is a conditional mood of impoverishment. In the third person, it is a superstitious euphemism which detaches the speaker from empathy. There are also languages where the concept does not exist at all.
Wireshark 2.0: Now with Qt
"As a researcher on the Facebook program, the expectation is that you report a vulnerability as soon as you find it. We discourage escalating or trying to escalate access as doing so might make your report ineligible for a bounty. Our team accesses the severity of the reported vulnerability and we typically pay based on its potential use rather than rely on what's been demonstrated by the researcher."

Well, FB feels your bug bounty is worth $200? Strike that figure. We feel like your bug bounty is worth a $100 advertising credit, if you buy $100 in advertising? Next time just report the bug. Thanks!

(I don't know if my innate dislike of FB, or I feel it shouldn't be up to a company to determine what they feel a bug is worth? If you are going to have a bug program--put in some Very solid rules? They shouldn't be just winging it at this point? It's not some cute little start up? It's a huge machine that's making a fortune off it's victim?

I'm still not sure if FB really cared about this hacker's escalation of a potential attack, or it's about money? Would I want a hacker to show me my vulnerability with my clients information--no, but make that crystal clear in the TOS.)

I think this thread is a bit of a showcase of the best things about HN.

It's a place where someone without existing distribution can get what they've made in front of people.

The members decide whether it's interesting or not so it can avoid getting buried.

The OP gets lots of cynicism free advice and even offers of hosting and domain names.

Everyone can have a bit of a chat about the tech used to build it.

We all can learn things from the comments and advice given.

Well done HN! :)
This happened to me in Vietnam. A police officer pulled over me and a friend as we rode past, then came up with a story about us having 'incorrect papers'. Later found out from the owner of the hostel that the same thing had happened to most of his guests for the entire season!
> You must discover what you are good at. It requires brutal honesty with oneself.

But isn't that circular reasoning?
"I am not a math person" -> [discover growth mindeset] -> "Math is fun" -> [weeks/months/years later] "Shit I am still not significantly better at math" -> "I am not a math person"

I'd be pretty pleased if I managed to hold down a conversation with any of our political 'leaders' that didn't involve a good many expletives.
Interesting, so "go 2.0" is 2 years down the road, it will be interesting to see what happens next.
You sound a bit harsh, but as someone not from the US, I was surprised that these things count when it comes to getting an admission. Does any particular hobby makes someone a better person? Or a 20-year old without a transformative life experience isn't capable of achiveing the same things? These factors are way to subjective.
Maybe real lotteries don't work in India. How could you tell?
Umbrella App: Ensuring Safety of Human Rights Defenders in the Digital World
The guy was brought up in the US. Deducing that he's connected to underground based on his parent's origin is mental. If anything, the hyper-macho behavior is result of American upbringing.

He obviously is somehow obsessed with the Wu-Tang Clan, so I'd guess his life philosophy is a based on a combination of rap gangsters and wall street traders. Both very American. Sorry for oversimplifying.
Thank you. Most of the people affected by these things (i.e. the world) didn't get a chance to vote for that goverment...
You're missing this important point:

> His effort to be courteous made me feel that I was different, the odd one out, the one we must be careful around and treat like a fragile flower.

We should respect all our colleagues equally regardless of the type of sexual organs they happen to be equipped with (and regardless of other irrelevant characteristics). Singling out one group over others for additional "respect" is what makes them feel different and out of place.

In the setting of this anecdote her role was not that of a "lady", but that of an "engineer".
^this; after a large child abuse scandal in an Amsterdam day care, male day care employees were scorned, distrusted, frowned upon, etc, and a lot of them either lost of quit their jobs. The sexism is real, and that industry doesn't get as much pressure to increase diversity either - mostly because their customers (i.e. parents) pressure the day cares into discriminating based on gender, either directly or indirectly by taking their children elsewhere.

That just doesn't happen in IT. Nobody cares by who software was written, as long as it does the job right - as it should be. Real tolerance is not worrying about the demographics of people in a certain industry.
> There are also geniuses who can do amazing feats of mental arithmetic and have no severe mental disabilities in any other areas.

And do they seem to hold any sort of significant power? It seems that intelligence is not a very good means for achieving power. Charm seems much more effective, and therefore dangerous. I'd be afraid of super-human charm much more than super-human intelligence.

Mental disabilities aside, very high IQ seems to be correlated with relatively low charm and low ability to solve particular problems (how to get people to do what you want) that are far more dangerous than the kind of problem-solving intelligence (or how we commonly define it) is capable of solving. "Super" intelligent people are terrible problem-solvers when the problems involve other humans.

Ironically, the fact that people like me view the AI-scare as a religious apocalypse that is as threatening as any other religious apocalypse implies one of two things: 1) that the people promoting the reality of this apocalypse are not as intelligent as they believe themselves to be (a real possibility given their limited understanding of both intelligence and our real achievements in the field of AI) and/or that 2) intelligent people are terrible at convincing others, and so don't pose much of a risk.

Either possiblity shows that super-human AI is a non-issue, certainly not at this point in time. As someone said (I don't remember who), we might as well worry about over-population on mars.

What's worse is that machine learning poses other, much more serious and much more imminent threats than super-human intelligence, such as learned biases, which are just one example of conservative feedback-loops (the more we rely on data and shape our actions accordingly, the more the present dynamics reflected in the data ensure that they don't change).
Airsoft - its a team sport, physical, and others who have been at it for longer won't have that great an advantage over you even if you're still staring out.

Also, I find it massive fun!
yea, I agree w/ a lot of this, esp. the stuff a/b the importance of context.

the context of the article for me is that it's from a cs dept, yet the researchers ran some cog-sci -like experiments w/ humans, and I thought that, as a methodology, is something interesting and valuable. a lot of cs ppl will say flat out that they've intentionally put blinders on re results about the human mind / brain, which makes sense on one level b/c it's a lot to think a/b. OTOH, how does one even define intelligence w/o biology? like, to say "intelligence is what ppl do" means you need to know, quantifiably, what that is, even if you don't care how it's implemented.

now, it's generally understood, and I think this is your critique if any, that we're a long way from answering such questions. one should take most descriptions of human behavior as rough, first-order approximations.
True. But fortunately from that point of view the OP now appears to be in Canada.
>the only way DDG is going to improve search results is by you using it regularly.

For what company or product is that not the case? Unfortunately, most people (myself included) aren't interested in integrating inferior products into our lives with the hope that "one day" they might be as good.

I decided to default to DDG last year to see how it was, and because my online privacy is worth something. I found the results lacking, having to Google things anyway, and eventually just went back to Google.
The problem is not corrupt politicians - they are for sale everywhere. The problem is acceptance of corrupt bureaucrats.
I lived in Thailand when the now deposed Thaksin Shinawatras party Thai Rak Thai won the election in 2001. I remember many Thais saying he was the ideal PM because he was the richest man in Thailand and because he was the richest man, he would never be corrupted. Fast-forward five years and the military deposed him because of his corrupt politics.

As long as you have a salary you can support yourself and your family on, I don't think higher salary == less corruption. Au contraire, I believe that once you have a sufficiently high income/wealth it's very easy to start to disassociate with the "people" with an average (or lower) income/wealth. That disassociation can then easily lead to moral superiority, that you are above the law/morals of the common man.
My guess is that the US used to have objective criteria but because University admissions are so competitive everyone studied just for the test and Universities filled with people who were very good at "book-learning" at the expense of everything else.

They wanted students to be more varied, more well-rounded individuals instead of robots who memorize books. So naturally, they started testing for holistic well-roundedness and Goodhart's law did the rest.

All of our politicians in the U.S. are for sale through perfectly legal means. What we don't tolerate is corruption in the bureaucracies that actually run the state day to day. This is the crucial difference.
You know, I've always loved the "everything is a file" religion. That is, until I tried to actually create it in an environment[0].

Files, network connections, program interfaces, local IPC, and hardware are completely different, and that difference is important on about any interaction you make. They do have some common behavior, but one can't just make they look alike without losing a lot.

To be fair it's only a theory. I was told the same by a friend of mine who is a jurist regarding judges salaries that are high on purpose to prevent corruption. "That's the theory" he said. Western Europe.

10/10 Will read again.

The sexism debate has indeed painted a bleak picture, people so often try to show a different side of the picture but end up using the wrong words or simply adding ambiguity to the discussion, most of the time only making the matter more complicated, and worst of all, pulling us even further from a potential solution. This one showed us not only a potential solution, but also proved it's effectiveness.

Lea Verou (the author of the article) perfectly explains that even though there is undoubtedly a problem, a problem whose degree is not/can not be calculated (she also indirectly, simply by not giving it more article-time, makes us understand that the lack of statistics doesn't mean this problem doesn't exist or should not be resolved), this problem can and has already been solved, not by company policies or special rules, but simply by people treating others (women included) nicely, or as my first grade teacher taught me, by following the golden rule, treat others the way you want to be treated, and amazingly across all mindsets and ways of thinking this rule means, for anyone beginning from the wee age that they understand what those words mean, that one should be treated in a way that is free of bias, fair and rational.

I will read this article again, and I will recommend it to friends and acquaintances and family, because sexism is a problem beyond tech too (in certain industries it might be an even bigger problem). I think this article and hopefully ones like it that either exist already that I do not know of, or ones that will be written afterwards, are a great way to make us realise that all people should be treated the way that we want to be treated, and I truly believe that will be enough to fix the problem of "women in tech".

It is probably not a big crucial factor for success, but I totally agree.
This is not my area of expertise, so my understanding may be incomplete.

If some is "in Unicode" it's a list of codepoints - that is the "thing" to be encoded. I don't see that ambiguity. It's a list of numbers, it's not fluffy kittens in the network or something. UTF-8 is a way of transcribing that list of numbers as 1s and 0s. That is the encoding process. Once it's encoded to 1s and 0s, it's not anything. It's just 1s and 0s.

One person's utf8 encoded 1s and 0s may be another person's audio signal. It doesn't really make sense to talk about the encoded data as being utf8. It's the encoded / decoding process that's utf8. Sure, it might be utf8 decodable.

In terms of json, it's the same deal. You have the "thing", simple nested objects/lists/numbers in memory. It only makes sense to talk about json when you're talking about the process of transcribing those.

In both cases you have a "thing" (I think of it as "real", but in a way it's an abstract concept - how does Python represent a dict, I have no idea), you can encode those things into a tangible list of 1s and 0s.

That's why they're the same. And people aren't generally confused about the json encoding decoding process.
Maybe it'd require a trip to their (no doubt expensive) lawyers to make sure the arrangement doesn't sound too good to be true and open them up to legal action if you're not happy. Perhaps it's not worth the time/effort/cost for them?
