Hi! actually I am the author of the artile ;-) My team looks like this:
4 female one more to come
26 male
among these 30 people i have 15+ nationalities. I am a meat lover and drink beer....I have at least 4 people that absolutely never drink and 3 of them are vegetarians. Just by following my principle "smart people that i like to work with" I created a very diverse team. I think the point is: I like to work with people who are different to me, who challenge me, who make me grow as a personality because I learn something new from them. So the key is hidden in the "that i like to work with" and in the definition of "liking someone" ;-)

I've interviewed interns; Obviously I didn't design an IQ test but a CRUD app, very similar to the real work, so they could have a taste about the contents of the internship. Most of the test was just navigating around template files, Java and JS files. It's surprising that navigating around wasn't even necessary as some applicants couldn't properly change an if/elseif/else instruction, and the best applicant just seemed to luck past all possible bugs he could have created. Turns out it wasn't luck, he was just good.

I am very proud that I am sharing the same native place [Erode]

I happened to read about his life story before quite sometime. It was full of wonders. During his life-period, He used to go to some calm place(temple) with few notebooks and after few minutes having his eyes closed, would start to write solving problems in his notebooks. Those periods the opportunities for exploring was very difficult. Since, the people were very conservative to accept him for being unique(different from others). Because, he was very genius in mathematics unlike other subjects. The society where he belongs did not acknowledge(unable to understand his works) him for what he was deserved. He could not get even the normal job to survive. His family became upset for his incomplete qualification(in terms of degree). So, he absconded from his place. In fact he tried to commit suicide too. Later period fortunately few people came to understand the value of his efforts few bits. With help of few elite members in society, he put the letter to Mr Hardy which was the turning point for all mathematician's life which gave full of challenges to understand his work. He was moved to UK. There his health was not supportive, then he died very early.

P.S: If he was given full freedom to function himself in earlier times, The maths society would have gotten more and more theorems and evolution would have been quite speedy.

Whatta truly inspiring life he lived.

[Erode] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erode)
I lived and worked in London for a number of years, and in the end, no amount of extra salary was worth the packed commute, sky-high rent, bad air quality, and (controversial...) the bad manners of people in general. Moved back to Scotland and my quality of life now is so much better. I don't know how much money I would have needed to make to make up for all the negatives, but personally it was way above what a developer could realistically achieve. Very subjective I guess.
I'm also getting 500s. Looks to be a CORS issue. I've tried about a dozen big name sites so far without any luck.

Nonetheless, a great idea!

Why Sweden Is So Good at Making Tech Everyone Wants
For months, I've been making like a sniper, going to and from work by crawling through dense foliage wearing camo. I crawl slowly, making only about a couple of hundred yards a day but, once I get there, I am completely unknown. No one knows I'm there and no one knows I've left.

I encrypt everything and carry it all with me when I leave so no one knows what I've done. I make sure I muss up the trail behind me so I can't be tracked. If I get really spooked, I have a few drop off points where I can store material along with a change of clothes (though I probably shouldn't have said that here).

It's hard work but I know it's all worth it. I haven't seen, heard of, or had any problems since I started this. Not that I had any problems before. I just know that the only issue now is I haven't received my paycheck in months. I'm worried I may have slipped up somewhere and my funding is being re-directed elsewhere in an effort to find me.

But that will never happen.
The IETF's RFCs are hardly ever "formal". At best they have a formal grammar, but never a formal semantics.

Show HN: High performance VHDL based ADS-B decoder
A car sharing service in Milan, Italy, is using small two seater electric cars from China.

Prompted by this article I finally investigated and found them at http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/China-eec-l7e-80-elect... They're quoted with a maximum price of $8000.

They're definitely made for driving inside a city. Not very good suspensions (don't drive too fast on cobble stones) but good torque (easily beats a gas car out of a green light). 120 km of autonomy, which is good enough in the typical European city center, apparently 80 km/h max speed, which again is more than enough there. Very easy to park.

More important matters:

Would I survive a crash? They're very tiny...

How long to recharge?

Operating costs? I'm paying 19 Eurocents per minute, all included.

Do they compete with gas cars? The other two car sharing companies in Milan have gas cars and cost 25 and 29 cents per minute. I prefer the electric one: it's a shakier ride but cheaper and more fun because of the torque.
Been working on this for a few months, and just added the finishing touches. It's a high performance ADS-B receiver that can detect and correct multiple bit errors and packet collisions. The FPGA offload allows a Raspberry Pi to process samples in realtime, where as a recent i7 would not be able to keep up without the hardware offload.

I'm planning on doing a mini series explaining the MATLAB, C, and VHDL design flow behind building a high performance hardware modem. The first article can be found here, https://www.nuand.com/blog/bladerf-vhdl-ads-b-decoder/
Questions or suggestions are welcome, I would like to use them to improve my writing style and this mini series!

Top Reasons Why Working Remotely Rocks
The biggest QOL feature of Erlang compared to other "concurrent" systems like node.js for example is that you have the comfort of executing blocking calls. Blocking for the caller that is. No need to pass callbacks. You write your code sequentially (for the caller) and the magic happens. You can wait as long as you want.
They might rearrange keys in a JSON object, but in an array they should be preserved in order as according to the spec[1]. If Swift does this (which I can't really check) than this would be a bug.

"unthinkable" is not really the right word. "impracticable", perhaps.
Good idea, THANKS A LOT! It has crossed my mind too, but I've discarded without giving it enough thought. The reason why it MIGHT work, is because of the implicit stream creation in QUIC (no handshake, nothing, just single UDP packet). There will still be some overhead, but probably it won't be "too bad".

Is the 64bit check in CMakeLists correct?

I'm no CMake expert, but this looks odd:

set(PICO_ARCH "x64" )
else(CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P EQUAL 8)
set(PICO_ARCH "x86")

EDIT: this is just CMake's very odd syntax and it's actually a single condition.
Hm... Did Ada Lovelace actually change the course of technology? Or was she just a genious who was (unfortunately) way ahead of her time and thus unable to apply her talents in practice (somewhat like Leonardo da Vinci)?
The initial investment would be significant yes, but Mars isn't anywhere near as space constrained as much as the ISS.

Once you've got enough people and supplies, you can build farms, which means less food needs to be shipped out, freeing capacity for other goods. Presumably a lot of the infrastructure will be shipped out long before people are, so all they need to do is collect things from the supply drops, then assemble and expand.

Get the Mars colony to self sufficiency and the cost to Earth will trend to zero.

Not in the UK, but I've indeed considered taking photos of every piece of litter I see on my walk.

But my next step is to think, if I'm taking a photo, I might as well pick it up instead of complain.

My next step of logic is I can't conceivably help to change the behaviour of people that live around me in the city to not throw litter, so don't occupy myself with it.

So management also was bad at their jobs. They probably didn't get canned, though they deserved it as much as the King of Shipping.

Yeah, but also don't underestimate the power needed to get it there in the first place. Earth would have a fully fledged industrial complex, the ability to lob nukes across space. A burgeoning Mars colony would still be worrying about producing enough water to survive - launching boulders, or even carving chunks off phobos to fling back at earth - neither are easy prospects, and given that a nuke could make the journey in weeks (big rockets, don't care about slowing down), you wouldn't have much time to do anything other than hunker down and wait for fire.
SteamOS seems less hostile to users.

In Sony's case upgradable has meant forcibly downgradeable.

Many bought a PS3 solely because it ran Linux, this was removed by an update.

Sony's famous battle over removing 'other-OS' and its shameful tactics against Hotz exemplified a culture of mistrust of end users and disdain for 'off-label' uses.

Sadly it has a long history of this culture, q.v. the 1990s software removal of Digital-Video-in for European digital video cameras - preventing one dumping back to digital tape - removing much of the value.

Sony, itself, has expressed regrets, like the loss of the digital Walkman market with their near unusable proprietary music codecs that took hours to transcode & upload.

Sony, genius engineering hamstrung by legal.

Explicitly, by their vast media catalogue & the piracy boojums entailed.

When the superior Betamax lost the format wars to VHS because of selective media licensing in the 1980s, Sony responded by becoming a media empire.

Sony has broken its own tech ever since.

I'd be interested to see the rest of their results, because I think you've just demolished that headline figure.

Reading the article I noted that an audience varying between 2.2 million to 3 million in the months before and 2.2 million to 2.5 million in the months after didn't look like a step change in user behaviour; the claimed "fall" was no bigger than the variance over the previous 12 months. And I think you've just explained why the monthly results peaked at 3 million in one of the months before.

I don't think the hypothesis is altogether implausible, but the evidence presented in the news article summary is less than compelling, particularly when this is the sort of research where researchers are at liberty to cherry pick their results.

In the absence of the actual paper, here's the underlying Google trends

Clearly (i) the hypothesised step change in user behaviour post-Snowden doesn't exist for global web searches (ii) there are a lot of spikes attributable to individual events, not least one in early 2013 and (iii) there's a trend decline in searches for terrorism starting over a decade ago
Agree. I read the article from another source, and came to HN expecting that very criticism. Its so tiresome. They didn't even consider that this article by Wolfram took a rare effort to go into lot of Math of Ramanujan. And the core insight of experimental (Ramanujan style) Math vs formal proof oriented (Hardy style) Math and its parallels i.e. the former approach is definitely enabled by Wolfram Mathematica, is very convincing.

And to miss all that, and just harp on self promotion by Wolfram is disingenuous or a very stereotypical comment. And its the top HN comment.

I was objecting to the comparison between mars and the american continent. The value of the American for the Europeans was certainly higher than if it were completely desert. Europeans brought countless species[1], and discovered large areas of fertile lands.

You are talking about current american economy that happened literally centuries later.

> Economic value is primarily created by human activity.

Precisely. If economic value depends on human activity and not on the location it takes place, then why spend hundreds of billions to do it somewhere else? What exactly can you do on mars that you coud not do on Earth for much less money?

Stats with more verification. A structured study as opposed to looking at police reports.
Again, reported sexual-assaults in the UK can not be compared to other countries unless you consider the difference in reporting rates.

It is not trivial to consider that before drawing conclusions from, or comparing, stats between countries, you need the context to properly interpret them.

The burden of proof is not on me, I am not making a claim. I did not use the stats to support a conclusion. As soon as you do, you need to justify that those figures can be interpreted the way you imply they should.

> I think it's more likely to reinforce the lack of diversity in tech than to combat it...

I have mixed feelings about this. I have a hard time valuing diversity for its own sake, especially since there are so many qualities to have diversity in, and especially since the ones that actually affect the organization (like diversity of perspective) are so hard to measure and quantify.

That being said, it's hard for me to sit in an interview and think, "Hmmmm... this is a diversity candidate, so I should ___________." I'm not even sure what to put in that blank. And I feel like I'm already discriminating since I'm already treating this person like a demographic.

So what's the answer? Don't get to know any personalities? Treat everyone like a demographic? I'm not sure that's an improvement.
