The article seems to suggest the problem of youth unemployment does not stem from a lack of education. Rather, it's a lack of suitable jobs for educated young people. The solution then would be to create an environment where startups can flourish.

I think that Alpha Centaury is one of the best games and it also beats Civ with all due respect (Disclaimer: never played recent Civ games, has dislike for history and fan of Science Fiction).

It is very atmospheric. From all kinds of blurbs and cinematic linked to scientific breakthroughts, buildings, projects and factions you assemble puzzle in your mind which makes towards an awesome SF plot of dystopian future on hostile planet with distinct characters, ups and downs, secrets and revelations.

And the gameplay is awesome too, spent many months on it.
Many things in this game are configurable via text configs. Graphics are available for tinkering too.

UPD: Having said all that, Master of Magic, non-Sid Meyer game, is still more potent than everything he made. A true jewel, perhaps underappreciated. It has turned 20 and I play it every few years and it never gets old. And I know nothing about people who made it.
Very misleading headline. It should be, "The world has a problem: too many young people in poor countries." Rich countries have the exact opposite problem: too many old people.

But the real problem is just: too many people, period.
Seems like you missed the whole point of the article, which was that an abstract "pointer" is not the same thing as the bit field held in some register or memory location, any more than a Java Object is.

While that sounds right intuitively I wonder if thats really addressing the problem.

The issues seems to be that the kind of companies that young people create will be mostly tech companies. Tech companies are by definition capital intensive not so much labour intensive.

I.e. less and less is needed for the new types of companies which are created.
This has always been a really bad argument, the myriad ways it's been made. I wouldn't want my doctor drunk while he operates on me either. But failing a marijuana drug test says absolutely nothing about weather you are under the influence of marijuana. If you could detect alcohol in the blood a week after taking a drink, it would be clearly stupid to have random alcohol tests that cause you to lose your job if a trace is found.

The way to ensure that people do a good job is fire them if they don't do a good job. No need for indirect methods.
If they indeed used a legit code signing certificate, what is the fix? It seems very difficult to just blindly trust signed binaries anymore. Short of setting up a registry of vetted code signing certificates, it seems that signed code is just as easily manipulated as unsigned code. And even then, the keys to the certificate could be mishandled.
> Pincus owns a few of the A shares, which confer one vote to their third-class owners. He also owns 63 percent of the B shares, which come with seven votes apiece; and 100 percent of the C shares, each of which gets 70 votes. All told, for a 10 percent economic interest in Zynga, Pincus wields 64.4 percent of the ballot.

There are more than a few analysts, I'm intentionally using some weasel wording here as they've asked that I not make their names public, who think that Zynga could be the firm that brings dual class share structures to court.

The thing that could make Zynga interesting is that normally when a minority share holder gets screwed, or thinks that they are getting screwed, they are an individual who doesn't have alot of options.

In this case there are alot of hedge funds, the stock has become a hedge fund hotel, who bought into Zynga because their cash on hand and building liquidation makes them a prime take over target and hence a must own stock for funds doing pre-arb.

It's not going to take a very large mis-step or perceived mis-step by the CEO and board for these funds to get litigious.

I am in no way a legal expert so I'll make it clear that this is hearsay, but I've been told that if they get to court then this could be a case that helps shape the role of dual class share structure in public companies.

I guess most people won't be familiar with the term Hedge fund hotel.... http://www.zerohedge.com/news/presenting-latest-hedge-fund-h...

This article really annoys me, I don't really care if people have kids or not, however, all these people doing so much for society came from people who chose to do less for society and instead raise the people doing so much for society.

"As networked individuals, we have the freedom to design the community we want to live in. And if what we choose isn’t working for us, we can always try something else."

this a really disrespectful attitude to the kinds of decisions made by their parents to enable them to live such a lifestyle, I'm not saying they owe people to have children just respect that abandoning something when it doesn't suit you is not how great adults are raised, but rather children growing up secure in the knowledge that they are so loved that their parents gave up such a lifestyle to ensure that even when things aren't going well they will be loved and cared for.

We all contribute to society in our own way and it would be great if we could all be proud of what we've contributed without having to compare to others. If you're raising children cherish them, if you're single cherish that, neither decision takes anything away from the other.
Speaking of the US Border, it is way more porous than many people think. Here is a photo of the 2 strands of barbed wire that make up the border fence near Locheil Arizona.

If you ride your dirt bike along the border there (I did), then you will find a few dirt roads that cross the border that look heavily used. I spent 8 hours down there and was not approached by any Border Patrol (Saw some from 100 feet away, but no contact)

There is so much stuff crossing the border, in so many places.

> What would be a great scenario is having fellow students contribute art for the sake of putting it on a portfolio, and, in the case of larger side-projects, I could offer % stake in the project [...]

Ask yourself whether you'd want to/be able to work on these conditions. A portfolio does not pay for your food today, neither does a stake in a project.

What worked for me: Get some money to pay immediately (say $500) for a very limited graphics job. YOU put in the time to define precisely what you need; you PAY the artist for that. Figure out whether there is something you could do for the artist instead of a proper payment (e.g.: hosting his/her website for 5 years, including domain costs; scripting his contact form etc). And it really helps to have the artist nearby - if you meet in person you will save both of you a lot of time when it comes to fleshing out the details.
No thank you. I like my earth earth-y and not scorched Armageddon style.

Hubris!
Those compilers don't do nearly as much optimization as LLVM does. It's hard to overstate how wide the gap between the classical compilers you like and LLVM/GCC truly is. LLVM has no fewer than three IRs, each with a full suite of compiler optimizations (four if you count ScheduleDAG). LICM, just to name one example, runs at each stage (see MachineLICM.cpp). Turbo Pascal did nowhere near that level of optimization, and it produced unacceptably slow programs by modern standards.
Didn't know about that one. Had a few links and data new to me. Thanks for the link!
I don't think I missed the point at all.

Are you seriously arguing that a donation to a statewide ballot issue has more wide-reaching influence than a donation to the President of the entire country?

Obama didn't have to "donate money". He's the one getting donations for making the policy, not the one giving money to influence it.
Usually when you see the word "transformation" bandied about, particularly in a functioning organization, that means that McKinsey, Deloitte and their ilk have been around.

Adding some magical methodology change in the mix is just a way to negatively impact the performance of the unit and justify headcount reductions. I'll bet $0.05 there will be a big push to achieve ITIL v3 compliance to fix whatever was broken. Once that happens, outsourcing is pretty easy.
> "The symbol’s modern obscurity ended in 1971"

It's missing a step or two. How did it get into ASCII if it were obscure? Model 33 teletype, after all, was one of the first machines to use ASCII, so there must be a reason why Tomlinson could look down and see the key in the first place.

A quick check of typewriter keyboards from the 1950s (eg http://mytypewriter.com/smith-coronaelectraportablec1958.asp... ) shows that @, ¢, ½, and ¼ were all common in that era, so it isn't like other options weren't available.

And we know from http://trafficways.org/ascii/ascii.pdf , which was recently posted here on HN, that:

> The September 14-15, 1961 meeting of X3.2 saw further revisions of the printing characters of the code and the most elaborate plans so far for the arrangement of the control characters. The angular tilde (), multiplication sign (×), and vertical line (|) were deleted and replaced by an at sign (@) and less-than-or-equal-to (≤) and greater-than-or-equal-to (≥) operators.

On page 22 it does say that '@' was the "softest" of characters, and "more readily subject to replacement" and on page 23 quotes Mackenzie "it was forecast that, in the French national variant of the ISO 7-Bit Code, @ would be replaced by à", for why the "@" was placed before "A".

But that doesn't explain why an otherwise "obscure" characters is prominent enough to include over other possibilities, like ±, √, or ° from figure 35.

Going back to the Smithsonian article:

> "Tomlinson chose @—“probably saving it from going the way of the ‘cent’ sign on computer keyboards,”"

Cent wasn't in ASCII. ASCII was standard by 1971. There's no way '@' would have been removed from ASCII, and I don't see why it would have been removed from the keyboard had, say, '#' been used for email instead of '@'.
Is it really even considered hacking if there is no security at all?
Is this supposed to be a poster example of irresponsible disclosure?

Glad to see more focus on breakthroughs in health care.

We are living in exciting times, but I just wish that more research authorities would be willing to share clinical trial data with one another or even work together.

I suspect most of them are unwilling to do so due to the refusal of patent-sharing (and initial funding costs).

How come there isn't a YC for more health related startups/companies (or is there and I just haven't heard of it yet)?
The most WTF part of that article to me was "if hackers are able to find a way to unlock the 40kwh versions to hold a 60kwh charge (which are physically identical batteries limited by software)" ...Seriously?
I find this hard to believe. I've implemented multi-threaded rendering engines with OpenGL without too any major issues. As long as you aren't adding multiple threads to the main render loop, you shouldn't have these issues. Could you elaborate?
I think you're at least partially right. I don't think having lots of people is a liability if there is a society that can make effective use of them. I think startups are one useful vehicle for that.
Thanks, I dug out the diff and found that too :)

https://trac.transmissionbt.com/changeset?old_path=%2F&old=1...
Well, but that's part of the issue, isn't it? The whole point of a trial is that, at least in theory, the two sides of the scale are balanced. If you remove the balance aspect, then you remove the purpose of having a trial in the first place.

I would say that these unbalanced trials are pretending toward fairness, fairness theater. If your primary concern is the cost of these proceedings, then don't argue for taking away only one of the costly, yet crucial, aspects of the trial [taxpayers already pay for the judges and the state's attorneys (both of whom are likely making much more than state appointed defense attorneys would be), so refusing to pay for defendant's attorneys doesn't save a heck of a lot of cost]. Rather get rid of the unfair trial altogether and make the thing an administrative proceeding. If you think a fair trial is justified, then you've got to provide qualified representation for those who can't come up with it themselves. That's just the minimum bar for fairness in an adversarial trial. Meet it, or get rid of the trial altogether.

I don't have enough information to really have a strong opinion on whether these situations should be handled administratively or whether the state should provide attorneys. However, it does seem that the current solution is on the order of the most expensive possible solutions without managing to meet a minimum bar for fairness. It's a worst of both worlds compromise.
Even if there is acknowledgement of a lack of unemployment because lack of education, is anyone even addressing the problem?
Yeah, you really have to wonder if this guy even exists or is just an alias. Because how could anyone be this openly reckless?
Most big-ass transformers also produce an audible hum, meaning something is moving enough to push air around.
Having used RethinkDB[0] for a few things over the last year or so, I'm convinced that it represents "what's next" for DBMSs.

* The community is great.

* Documentation is amazing, and up to date.

* Examples actually work.

* Installation is simple. Runs on multiple platforms.

* Clustering is easy. Sharding is easy. Management is easy.

* Built for today's needs, not for what we were doing 30 years ago.

If you haven't yet taken a look at RethinkDB, do yourself a favor and spend a couple hours dinking around with it. You may just be impressed.

Still, what with responsible disclosure etc.?
I'd say hacking is a lot about discovery, manipulation, and exploitation, but not necessarily fundamentally about security alone.
Extra unmarshaling? The string will either be parsed as JSON or some other thing.

Staring down an economic reckoning in the Detroit of China
Playing devil's advocate: local variables declared but not initialized before being used will always generate a warning (which can be turned into a hard error) on modern optimizing compilers like gcc or clang.

And having all variables declared at the top of the function can make it easier to visualize how much stack space the function is using, which can be useful when your stack is limited to a few kilobytes.
My theory is that if you can't get a cheap, legal high then you are more susceptible to trying something else.
I don't think that the problem is too many people. It's not enough, and not managed well enough.
"Far as politicians, supporting certain types of laws is a requirement for election given how voters act in this country."

Got it. Claiming to support laws that you actually think are wrong is excusable if it means you can get elected.

You're basically saying that Obama lied to get elected, and that you're okay with that.

That doesn't really come off quite the way I think you intended.

I don't think that's the way it worked. War resulted in a deficit of men, but it's not that kingdoms/nations went to war to reduce the number of men because it was thought there were too many men.
I think this headline must have meant "without spending on advertising".

Marketing is a far broader category than advertising.
Just finished a fairly large pilot test with grpc. Summary: it's not production ready. It seems to be still moving rapidly and bugs pop up. I'd recommend holding back for awhile longer.

Also, instagram heavily relies on JS. There are not any protobuf parsers in js that perform anywhere near that of native json. The most feature complete implementation is two orders of magnitude slower.

Using the C++ bindings is faster, but is more difficult to fit into a typical build, can't work in a browser, and still an order of magnitude slower.

It's definitely something to keep an eye on, but, IMHO, not quite ready for something large scale.
But it might need to push new (binary) updates if the master/deploy branches gets updated or a commit contains a specific tag.

As far as I know, only the binary was updated.

I'd be interested to hear, though, how it got compromised after all.
Ah, another youngster who didn't hear the one about the IBM mainframe upgrades done by moving a jumper.

P.S. it's kind of funny that people who make a living from the sale of goods with zero marginal production cost (i.e. additional copies of a program) get weirded out by "pay-by-value" from hardware manufacturers ...
That's not that close. I have heard the imbalance is causing real problems. I mean, that is a 5 point difference and ...geez ...(breaks out calculator cuz I'm old) about a 9% difference. And probably worse in certain age groups. If 10% to 20% of men have no hope of getting married purely based on a lack of women, not counting women making other choices or being gay or whatever, that's going to have significant social consequences.
I must take some blame there. Sorry.
It sounds pretty analogous to the problem about the incentive to take performance-enhancing drugs in professional sports. In this case the players might mostly prefer a world in which doping was banned, with effective enforcement, to one in which it was permitted, just because of the competitive pressure to take risks.
Quite. I remember someone saying not long after this that they could come out with "Sid Meier's Huge Bag of Crap", and it'd sell like hotcakes.
... but with as little as 15% of mining capacity concentrated in a single miner, z=6 doesn't even provide a 99.9% guarantee, let alone achieving a rate lower than the proverbial radiation-induced bit flip. (see the famous bitcoin paper https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf down on page 8)
The way it works is we take young men hopped up on testosterone and convince them that joining the military is a good idea for REASONS. Then we go to war due to "scarcity" of resources, which is the flip side of the coin of what people mean when they say "we have too many people."

So, you can rearrange the semantics all you like, but he's essentially correct.
In this case, doctor A could drink the glass of wine and decline patient B as his client. Patient B would pay a higher price on average to express his preference, and doctor A would receive less business to express his preference.

I imagine a pothead doctor could even use the fact that he's a pothead to market to other potheads.
That's pretty far from 50-50, man. It means one out of every ten men won't have a partner if you naively paired them up.

Let those countries use contraception, make it available to all and normalize homosexuality. It's not like the ones having children are setting out to have more out of necessity as cheap labor. It's that they don't have access to cheap contraception. And making homosexuality normal allows gay people to have a normal life without children, if they so desire. No need for pretending.

More education and better access to contraceptives (or forced pop control like China which for obvious reasons, less desirable). Many of the poor just don't know how control the amount of children they produce. They are ignorant about it and often don't have easy access to birth control.
Isn't it possible to fire a takedown notice to that server? I mean KeRanger committed a felony and Amazon (assuming you mean Amazon's EC2 server) might react quickly if they realize what has happened. It might save a lot of computers from getting destroyed.
