You're either painting a straw man of my position and pretending that I advocate unstructured learning or else you're creating a false dichotomy in which we choose between some sort of ad-hoc chaos and the traditional college structure. Maybe both.

Either way, college is structured for a specific purpose and skill-based careers are not that purpose. It might be best to have a structured education, but it's nothing short of ridiculous to think traditional college structure, with it's long semesters and mid-year breaks, is the most efficient way to teach someone how to work in IT, engineering, or any other industrial field.

... Where do you think fish biodegrade to?

Eventually bodies make it to the ground, which then eventually make it to the air...
"Between 1996 and the date of the discovery, more than 2,000 bodies had been sent to Tri-State. The search ultimately recovered 339 uncremated bodies. Of the 339 bodies that were discovered, 226 were identified."

How long did they expect to keep that up? I could conceive of them doing it for maybe a year and then buying a machine but it seems that, at least to them, it became business as usual.

Hah. No. That I did in person (though I did flub up my rehersed speech) https://www.instagram.com/p/3dJYnyOtVg/?taken-by=balls187
The process as I understand it:

(1) Prep the body by cutting out anything that will harm the cremator, specifically pacemakers with potentially explosive batteries.
(2) Fire.
(3) Sift through the ashes/bones for any metal (hips/metal screws)
(4) Macerate remaining bits into homogeneous ash.
thats looking at it from the best possible way. The way windows 10 has gone so far I really doubt which is which. Maybe they knew and didn't want people to find out. They also don't seem to give a shit about what people actually want.

Judging from what I've seen on MIT's OCW and Berkeley's webcasts, students at the best schools are getting a considerably better education in the sciences than I did at a small state university, and students at St.John's are getting a much better humanities education than we got.

What matters even more though is the student body. Hanging out with a bunch of really smart and dedicated young people for 4+ years gives one a huge leg up intellectually.

At my small school there were very few smart people to talk to, it was very lonely and insular. By comparison, time I spent hanging out around Berkeley and PENN were very exciting intellectually.

Iran: E-Business Improvement Conference
Top 63 Business Movies for Entrepreneurs 2000 →2016
On Wednesday January 27th the first E-business Improvement Conference took place in Isfahan, Iran. Here's a brief summary of the event.
You've completely lost me. The argument ("Facebook killed Parse" -- see, I can even do it in three words) was given right there in the text. You certainly don't have to find it in HN archives.

The bit about the top post was just evidence to how visible to our community these kind of things are, in response to the great-grandparent's request for "name some examples", as if they were hard to come by. They're not hard to come by: you literally don't have to look farther than the most popular article of the last 24 hours on this very site.

Sorry if that seems combative, but them's the breaks. Argue from a sound position or else you'll get corrected.
Is Google slapping them accordingly?

Sorry about that. The careers page needs an update, but is still a mostly-complete source of information about the types of roles we're hiring for.
Nice. Not sure if I figured the API completely but this means pulling status info. Right? Is there a way to subscribe to (eg webhook) updates for specific service status endpoints when status changes? (Push)
Pretty much. You would run your own instance of Shout on your own server.

We're mainly looking for Android developers to work on Adblock Browser and its underlying technologies right now (https://eyeo.com/en/jobs/android-developer), but have a look at our other open positions: https://eyeo.com/jobs

We're in the middle of changing the world of online advertising for the better, and there's a lot of work to do.

In Firefox you create a private window, not a private tab.

Inside the private window, you can have multiple tabs; closing them and restoring them. Once you close the private window everything is gone.
I'm not sure what definition of "better" would apply but I'm certain there is a non-zero number of people who would prefer to see yahoo slowly die while paying the last of its money out to workers.
I do not work there, but have applied to try to be on their development team. They seem to be ramping up their workforce, trying to find a way to make some more money off the product as a whole. Pretty similar to other social media sites it seems.
There really isn't much room at all. If anything, the room is a race to the bottom.

There's room in niche hosting services, like WordPress or Magento, and you can make a pretty penny off it. But your typical shared, VPS, or dedicated? Yeah, good luck competing.
Someone at work was recently giving me the slack pitch, and mentioned the cool bot that be configured to announce people, answer questions etc...

It made me very nostalgic for my old IRC friends, both people and eggdrop bots alike.
if it's not an easy factorization => it will be hard. According to recent results we believe state-sized adversary should be able to do it. If you're threat model is against criminals, then you might be OK.

EDIT: if 1024bits factorization is easy in general, you can say goodbye to every 1024bits RSA modulus. My first statement doesn't mean it can never be easy, it means that if you try and factor it the easy way and it doesn't work... you are in for a lot of work and research.
You can work from wherever you are, and you can change locations while working for 18F. But we don't provide money for relocation.

And having them all under one (virtual) roof may be producing a echo chamber effect among them.

I can't seem to locate it now. But i seem to recall a video released within the last year so so that showed various people from within RH, regarding the history of Linux. And at one point one of them energetically declared "we won" in regards to some "unix war".

All in all the video gave the impression of a company culture that had the mentality that they could do no wrong.
They can provably tell you that a number is composite.

DHS wish that people loose their anonymity online
This is actually very in line with what they are hypothesizing.
Apparently a problem with positive fantasies is that they present an easy path to an idealized future situation. The path is missing any obstacles and possible hardships. And this somehow leads to an insufficient energy mobilization for pursuing that path. [makes sense from an planning/resource allocation perspective] As a "result" you don't put enough effort into tackling the encountering problems, once you reenter reality. The depressing effect comes later, when you face your low-achievement.
It looks like they are trying to use the same model as http://wable.com/.

They sell you a monthly subscription to a resource bundle (some # of cpus, ram, disk space, ipv4s) that you can then run as 1 large VPS, or 3 medium ones, or 4 smalls + 1 medium, etc.

Wable is fairly popular because of this approach, and they are relatively unique in doing it that way.

The Soviets distrusted kitchens, because the kitchen is something bourgeois. Every family, as long as they have a kitchen, they have some part of their private life and private property > http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/05/20/314054405/how...
My (now) wife and I decided to start a family. After that decision, we were pleasantly surprised that things moved along quicker than expected, but meant we had to accelerate a lot of things. We're both engineers, so we approached it like engineers: take big problems, break into smaller problems, prioritize, delegate, and execute.

Slack helped us keep focused and organized without a lot of effort on our part.

Also we had a lot of luck, pretty much everything went according to plan.
I've been using it for over 6 months now with multiple users connected to multiple servers with quite a few active channels. I've had it crash from memory leaks (on a 1GB Linode VPS) once in all that time. Maybe PonyChat is just waaaay more active than the channels I'm in? At the moment, HTOP reports it using about 17% of my memory.
Chrome also uses a private window, not private tabs. You just can't restore closed private tabs, which is probably how it should be.
This also happens in the desktop.
A lot less than Facebook at this point. There's no longer a good comparison to be made there, as Facebook's business is five times larger.

Their Q315 was just about larger than all of Yahoo, and Facebook's sales are growing at 50%.

Facebook earned $1.56 billion in net income last quarter (and they'll do $5+ billion annually going forward). Yahoo is struggling to stay near $50-$100 million per quarter. And that's net income, skewed by various b.s., Yahoo is producing lots of red ink on operating income (FB has ~30% operating income margins).

Facebook is going to hit near $22-$24+ billion in sales over the coming four quarters. Yahoo is stuck around $4.6 billion.

Facebook is a cash generating machine, while Yahoo is becoming AOL: trying to extract dwindling amounts of cash from legacy businesses.

It's a really bad contrast these days.

Lead Developer | London | Tech-for-good

THE COMPANY
CrowdJustice helps people access the law. We're a platform for crowdfunding legal cases – bringing communities together to give people access to funds to take a legal case and create change. It's a simple idea with an ambitious mission – to use tech to make the law accessible to everyone.

THE ROLE
We are looking for a multi-talented developer to lead on strategic product development, and manage implementation as we build out our early-stage product into a world class platform. This role would suit a developer who is looking to take a more strategic role in an early-stage, ambitious startup.

You will take over a webapp built in Python/Django and will have a major role to play in deciding how to shape our product, grow our technical team and leverage new technologies.

IS IT FOR YOU?
Shape the strategic product development of a very early-stage, funded London-based startup with a social mission at its core.

Drop me a line: julia@crowdjustice.co.uk
This should really be higher. The entire post is a content marketing/native advertising placement.

But that's the only new publisher business model that seems to work these days.
SEEKING WORK - San Francisco / Bay Area / Remote + Travel Welcome

We're Bitmatica. We are a team of engineers, designers, and marketers who love solving problems and building great products.

------HOW WE WORK TOGETHER------

Our first priority is to deliver a compelling ROI for every web and mobile application we build. To do that, we work closely with our clients to understand their business as if we're truly part of the team.

While other development teams may take your project and disappear for two months (and then deliver an application you had little say in), at Bitmatica we work with you at every step along the way to deliver a great product.

------WE’RE GREAT AT------

- UI/UX Design, Branding, Visual Identity

- Front-end Web: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React.js, jQuery, Angular, Backbone

- Back-end Web: Ruby (Rails, Sinatra), Node.js

- iOS and Android Development

- Operations and Scaling: Apache, NGINX, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, various No-SQL, and more

- Sales + Marketing Training / Consulting

------OUR CLIENTS HAVE SAID------

"Bitmatica is quick to understand new systems, eager to deliver quality results with high impact, and has a deep technical background."

"Hands-down the best firm I have ever worked with."

------SOME OF OUR RECENT PROJECTS------

[1] Launched Autodesk's 3D Printer software + marketing site (http://ember.autodesk.com/)

[2] Redesigned and built Corax Cyber Security's new homepage and web application (https://coraxcyber.com)

[3] Built Nitro PDF's cloud dashboard (https://cloud.gonitro.com)

[4] Worked with a large US bank on two consumer mobile personal finance applications

Agreed. In general, I find there are two types of layoffs:

1. Layoffs where an entire industry is downsizing, and not everyone who was laid off will be able to find jobs in the same industry. I have immense sympathy for these folks - in many cases it is difficult if not impossible to get back to the same salary level.

2. Layoffs where one company couldn't make it, but the industry as a whole is extremely dynamic and growing by leaps and bounds. This is Yahoo's case. While it's always hard when "somebody moves your cheese", it shouldn't really be hard for those laid off to find new jobs. Plus, the writing was clearly on the wall for a long time, so it shouldn't be totally unexpected. As someone who has been in a similar situation, if anything I saw many people looking to be laid off because they would rather have a sizable severance than go down on a sinking ship.
