Because the overwhelming observed pattern for users is that they want something, and they will tap on the thing on the screen that appears most likely to lead towards the goal.

Roughly speaking, users will look at all possible touches on the screen and score them based on relevance, and tap the highest scoring element. The typical use of a mobile app is effective a pathfinding problem.

The problem is that because of the inherent meaninglessness of the hamburger button, the hamburger button always scores near zero. Which also means that users will actually tap on things that lead them away from what they want before they touch the hamburger button.

A common pattern you will see when a user is looking for a less-used function of the app is that they will make several mis-touches first, tapping on things that do not lead to their goal, before backing up and trying the hamburger button. Effectively hamburger buttons will send your users on wild goose chases through your app because it is a UI of last resort.

Even when users are looking for obscure/miscellaneous functions of your software, they will look practically everywhere else first before looking under the hamburger button.

There are better ways to point users towards less-used functions of the app that
I just went and dug up the material I was referencing, and the memoirs are from the third Balkan war of the 1990s.

A more accessible way to do this for trading algorithms would be through Quantopian [1], where they have a crowd-sourced hedge fund that has a similar profit sharing model. You have to have good standing in their contests to be eligible though.

Of course, you can also just use their platform to trade your algorithm with your own money.

This entire article should have stopped after this quote: "Consensus means no ownership. What’s important is not that everyone agrees, but that everyone is heard and then the right person makes a decision."

The rest just reads like typical, big company bullshit non-content. But the first few paragraphs? I agree with that a whole lot. After being in many, many, many meetings where multiple people "own" something and it's almost impossible to get anything done. But one owner? Even if you don't entirely agree with the direction it's at least crystal clear.
This article makes the mistake of buying into the idea that WebAssembly has anything to do with NaCl. It's not. It just had some NaCl people working on it (along with emscripten Asm.js people and others).

When it's released it'll map to asm.js and have most of it's limitations. Many of the limitations he ran into (no raw socket access, system library access) were related to the API limitations imposed by the browser's security model.

Also WebAssembly is pretty far along as they have drafted a specification and have prototype implementations in all the major JS engines. They also have a LLVM/Clang backend.

It's totally untrue that VCs are "funding services exclusively." Just within the Hadoop/Spark ecosystem there are Cloudera, Databricks, Hortonworks, Tachyon Nexus, and others. In storage there's MongoDB, Couchbase, Cockroach Labs, etc. In every infrastructure area there are many very significant VC-backed open-source companies.

Why I Will Never Vote for Donald Trump
Given that the article in question is about growth in vc in nyc in the last year, it seems perhaps relevant to use recent data: http://www.citylab.com/tech/2015/07/the-worlds-leading-start...

It looks like nyc has taken over #2, with Boston failing to #4.
Yeah, me too. For me it was the best community ever. They were pro sharing, pro openness but not anti commercial at the same time. Creativity and sharing was high. And the machine itself was way ahead of its time. I really miss it.
Steven Pressfield's "Turning Pro" got me out of a rut. I usually don't go for this type of book, but it is more or less a couple of hour read and it helped me establish a better mindset that I've been able to build upon.

It really reminded me of the Admiral McRaven speech about making your bed, which is occasionally quoted here:

> “If you make your bed every morning you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another,” he said.

There seems to be a lot of confusion around open source projects vs companies.

There are plenty of for profit companies around open source software that are venture backed:

Mesos(mesosphere)

Spark(Databricks)

Flink (Data Artisans)

Zeppelin (NFLabs)

Scala (typesafe)

Linux (Red hat)

Hadoop (Horton, Cloudera, MapR)

Elasticsearch (Elastic)

PredictionIO (PredictionIO Inc)

Meteor (Meteor Inc)

Deeplearning4j (My company skymind)

RethinkDB(RethinkDB inc)

Redis (Redis Labs)

Wordpress(Automattic)

Drupal(Acquia)

Docker (docker inc)

Coreos (coreos inc)

NGINX(nginx inc)

and the list goes on!

Acquired companies also include springsource (VMWare) , jboss (redhat), and ansible (redhat)

Lastly, there's open source from companies such as facebook where the goal is likely hiring. By open sourcing internal tools, it's easier to onboard new devs for recruiting. If you like their tools why not work there?

The key distinction people are missing is that these companies don't monetize open source directly. Instead open source is used as a means of building a user base that will indirectly generate revenue in other ways such as support, licensing solutions around or on top of the software (open core), or through some form of consulting.

FOSS such as the GNU software is a different beast where the goal isn't profit.

I think the confusion is: we can all use the software provided by these companies for free (depending on the context/license) without paying them and contribute back in other ways such as bug reports and the like.

The other thing here is individual devs monetizing their singular github repos. There's no reason you can't charge for support or consulting.
Radim @ gensim does exactly that and he does fine.

Just because you can git clone a repo doesn't mean you can use it effectively. You typically seek support via community or commercial. There's no reason both can't exist and they both do.

I hope that helps a bit!

>You're asking people to prove a negative[1]. It's a common logical fallacy.

No, I'm asking for examples of investigations where authorities have concluded that so-called 'hacks' at Bitcoin exchanges were indeed hacks and not simply thefts by scammers running the services.

>Really? This claim is trivially disprovable. Numerous people have been arrested, including Mark Karpeles of Mt Gox. You've never heard of that case? $500 million allegedly stolen

Karpeles has not been arrested over "$500 million allegedly stolen", which is perhaps why you linked to a story about something else, behind a paywall.

As for Moolah guy, if you have 'proof' that he was arrested over the hacked Mintpal coins that amounts to more than Chinese whispers on Bitcoin forums/blogs, let's see it. All your link does is link to another site that claims he was arrested, almost a year ago, and doesn't even state why.

Even if we assume he might be one day charged with the theft of the coins, that's one person involved in a Bitcoin inside job facing prosecution over it.

I'm sure I can find more than one person involved in an inside job at a bank (involving dollar amounts considerably smaller than we're talking about with Bitcoin 'hacks') doing actual time for it.

To me that seemed more like a way to keep experimental projects without affecting Google as a stock.
Religious fanatics believe that coming off the messiah is inevitable. You don't have any more evidence than they do. This belief that general AI will show up soon and change the world is nothing more than a secular religion.

3 Lessons about Stress from Kelly McGonigal's – The Upside of Stress
I was just about to ask about Amazon's Handmade.

50K items posted in the last 30 days and 100-200k sellers (who knows if that excludes inactive). Perhaps it has gained some ground.
You have to ask yourself: how indispensable are these companies?

People can live without Groupon. It hasn't changed habits fundamentally.

Uber and Airbnb, on the other hand, have changed consumers' habits.

If you can make something a habit, you're going to win (see: cigarette companies)
Was and still am a complete newbie. Over coffee a friend told me they got some new tooling (tool on the CNC table - vacuum holding it down) and they needed someone quickly to set it up. I just grabbed the opportunity not knowing what I was getting myself into. Read machine manual and went on to read about G-code. In 48 hours I was able to produce working G-code and off we went cutting. Shorty after I landed another simple gig and now the third is around the corner.

Mind you this is simple, practically 2D cutting process.

But in the early days many Etsy sellers didn't have their own e-commerce sites. A lot of them didn't even have websites outside of Etsy, often just a Facebook page. I'm not sure that's changed much.
PG deserves the mud. He doesn't shy away from telling everyone else that they're stupid and inferior for not using LISP (tell me that 'blub programmer' isn't a pejorative). If he's going to publish ill thought out, offensive crap, he should be prepared to read responses that share similar traits.
I second handmade hero. Lots of good stuff to be learned there.
Oh, man. Some of these are old school, some I participated in, some I heard about.

1) Homegrown, pre-internet, pre-SMTP homegrown email system in the early days. Engineer colleagues spoof an email from CEO, put nice guy on notice that CEO was hopping mad about his product and would be by late that evening to check on some issue, forcing the guy to stay there most of the night in terror.

2) Hunt and peck typer for a team lead/manager at the dawn of the PC era. Reports pry the keycaps off his IBM keyboard, swap the M & N. He types memos. "This computer is screwed up--these memos have all the m's and n's swapped! I think the PC is going bad" Colleague, a touch typer, sits down and says "Let me try." He types the memo flawlessly. "Works for me!" Eventually the touch typist gets bored of having to "fix" the PC with his magic touch and mercy is finally shown.

3) PR1MOS system. CS001 student walks out of computer lab, fails to log out. Edit login script to call itself on next login. Log out. That was really mean and probably pissed a lot of people off.

4) Sending bells to people's terminal sessions. Randomly. But only when they weren't paying attention. Cube farm fun.

How many of these things from the past would likely be grounds for termination/expulsion these days?
> The key distinction people are missing is that these companies don't monetize open source directly. Instead open source is used as a means of building a user base that will indirectly generate revenue in other ways

This isn't a distinction, it's the definition of open source. By definition if you have an open source company, you're making money through some channel other than keeping the software proprietary and selling binaries of it. So your list quite rightly invalidates the author's claim--it's not just some subtle distinction that was ignored, it's proof that you can indeed make money from open source software.
I feel like this raises an interesting question. I feel like it is a good thing that one can read the source of any of the code running in your browser, since it is all Javascript. However, I also don't like the fact that Javascript is the only option for web development. Other languages would be useful in that space as well. I wonder if browsers could somehow necessitate the inclusion of source? I doubt it is possible though, because it require the browser essentially compiling the code again, which would require special handling for each supported language, defeating the purpose of web assembly in the first place.
(Also I'm not sure that transpiling other languages to minified Javascript is better than compiling to an assembly language with a sensible textual representation.)
RASCI is a great model to reduce stress. If people are making stupid decisions that you don't agree with, if you're not Responsible or Accountable, it makes it much easier to let go after you've informed the people who are.

After that, it then becomes a decision of whether or not you wish to be part of the organisation, and not whether or not you're doing a good job.
Yes this seems to be the purpose, but as a 40 something married man I don’t have too much interest in presenting a polished photographic image of myself to the world :)
lftl said, "All it would take is requiring graduated income checks so for every $1 you make more in wages you lose less than $1 of benefits."

A progressive income tax (or even a flat tax, really) is a special case of that, with income checks maximally graduated and always stripping your benefits of less than a dollar for every dollar.
As much as I admire D3, it using the DOM as its data model has made it difficult to work with (for me at least). I've actually had a much better experience using SVG and RactiveJS. It's animation/tweening of property changes is very handy for designing visualizations. http://examples.ractivejs.org

Did you read that link? It says you must report entering/leaving the country with more than $10k. Sounds like that's what's being described.
GMP is arbitrary precision. __int128 on a 64 bit processor is optimized for one size.
In general I don't agree. Maybe in a B2B setting you can do this. Do you have an example where this has worked? I can only think of many examples where it wouldn't have worked. Do I want a website where I can make friends with my real friends? No, what for, we'll just hang out in real life? Do I want a service where I can post 140 character messages to the world? Only 140 characters? What's the point of that? Do I want to be able to stay in other people's houses while they are away? No way, that's crazy, nobody would go for that over a hotel... (I happily use all these services now, of course).
Not necessarily. The enclave's symmetric keys are bound to its identity, which is a hash of the memory and permission bits before the enclave starts to run. If the malware modifies the public key in the binary before it is loaded into the enclave, the enclave's identity (and its keys) will be completely different.
>"We know from epidemiological research that you need at least 5 independent mutations to get to metastatic cancer."

This is all based on the Armitage and Doll 1954 theory, they write:
"This result will be valid for large values of t (of the order of a human lifetime) provided that p_l x t, P_2 x t, ..., p_r x t are all sufficiently small (as could be assumed in an application of this theory to human cancer)"
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2007940/

Here, the "the probability of occurrence of the r-th change, in that line of
descent, is p, per unit time [t]". So obviously if p or t is large enough, the probability of dying from cancer goes above 1, which is non-physical. There is a simplification being made here that was reasonable in the pre-computer age. What happens if you implement the same theory without that simplification?
I like the given definition of usability, but I wouldn't score the hamburger menu as the author did.

memorable: yes.

efficient and produces low errors: not relative to its predecessor on non-mobile devices. We've gone from seeking and clicking one target to two.

learnable: it could be, but people aren't trying to teach us the same thing. On some websites it means "navigation", on others it means "everything from the header". It may or may not contain account settings, it may or may not let you sign out. On ally.com it actually contains all available actions, with site navigation inexplicably hidden in a different, cog-icon menu. The net result is that I never have confidence that clicking a hamburger icon will give me what I'm looking for.
There will be a very few really good applications of this. But this will be used mostly to obfuscate code that's doing something hostile to the user.

Look at WebGL. There's a site which lists the best WebGL sites.[1] Most of them are demos. Some which aren't:

- http://breakthrough.nationalgeographic.com -- a menu system which puts you inside a sphere. Somebody really liked Lawnmower Man.

- http://histography.io -- a timeline of history. Only works on Chrome or Safari.

- https://www.rudys.paris/ -- a shoe store. Doesn't seem to have any 3D; they just seem to be using WebGL for zooming. Takes forever to load, and they broke the Back button.

- http://www.thehappyforecast.com/ -- an interactive "happiness map" of London. But it's just an overly fancy 3D menu.

- http://www.webglgames.com/ -- Deadtrigger 2 (zombies), They Will Eat You (more zombies), X-Wing (the 80s called, they want their arcade game back.)

You could do most of this stuff in Flash, and it would load much faster. Browsers now have more technology than use cases.

Simple solution don’t sell your products in New York anymore … They can go back to the stone age for all I care … honestly I’m tired of this … They understand by doing something like this they put more people in danger of fraud … Politicians need to get over themselves, they are not gods and just because they can’t as easily snoop on people as they have been since phones were invented they try to one up with this crap. The real Criminals will have strong encryption no matter what. It’s public knowledge and easy to implement and now it’s even easier to build your own phone with working sim … Beaglebone, raspberry phi, mino, etc… This stuff is cheap and you can customize a version of android that would omit this back door very easily … It’s open source. Anyone who is for this and thinks it will actually work on criminals is a complete moron.

Coding without purpose is like eating by using a feeding tube. What's the point?

I've done useless projects at school and at work but the point of those projects was to get credentials or money.

If you're doing this for fun, you should start with something you want to make. A game idea, an app idea, a robot that does something. Break the problem into the smallest parts and start with that.

I also hate complicated compiling processes, bloated tools, or anything to do with configuration. But that's just part of software development. You'll have the motivation to plow through that if you really want to build something.

Beautiful construction and all but heirloom's last generations. Not sure you can do that with modern, process nodes given how inherently unstable and broken they are. Computers on the old nodes lasted forever because the physics were more sane and the chips simpler. I could see a heirloom Apple II or something because they're still functional.

Seems only the shell of this one is heirloom. Should be the key portion if true to the concept.
That is hysterical. I am flattered.

Reminds me of that game that would delete your files if you couldn't shoot things fast enough.
I don't get it. Is there a reference to rudo?
PLEASE never use "You could do most of this stuff in Flash" as an argument against WebAssembly or, uh, any other technology. Flash is a 3rd party, closed source, proprietary plugin. Aspiring to replace it with something slightly better at the very least is worth doing.

All else being equal, would you rather have a .swf binary blob that depends on Adobe, or a WebAssembly binary blob that follows a well defined internet spec and independent implementation by multiple authors?
Non-standard tags generally work in all browsers modern, but they aren't part of the spec. It's just like custom attributes which don't start with `data-`. They're recognized and work, but not strictly speaking legal. Your code fill fail HTML5 validation tests.

Here are the types of "welfare" that habitual failures might have access to under BI:

- Budgeting advice
- Free housing for the homeless
- Free psychological consultations
- In extreme cases, a controlled spending card (i.e.: an EFTPOS card that can't be used for drugs and gambling)

But we wouldn't give them more money, because they've made a habit of using it badly.
Since it came with the WWII context and the 123M number, it didn't even occur to me that today we'd read it differently, but you're right--if it were about today, and about <500 books, I'd think it was giving copyright. (At higher numbers, I'd assume physical copies unless it explicitly said copyright.)

The Bitcoinica hack definitely seems legit:

They hacked Linode's customer service portal, and compromised 8 Linode customers. So I guess it could be an inside job of a Linode employee instead of one of the bitcoin exchange's employees.
