Tech startups is not a good metric. Wealthy Indians are risk averse and there is a lack of trust in India.

Considering all that few Indian cities do have a healthy startup culture and Indian angel investors who have worked in the US and American VCs have started funding big amounts.

just googled MOOC and the top 3 results all explained it
You will always find something valuable that will improve your life. For example, software engineers can apply the abstract learning from Coursera's course about functional programming in Scala to any other language. Focused learning can generate more tangible and immediate returns, but don't discount the value of learning generally. It's likely to be a significant factor in keeping you relevant and consistently employable over the long term.
I started out thinking this way some years ago (which is also why I never went for higher degrees in college). But after taking a couple of MOOCs every year from last 4 years, I've realized that a good (or even somewhat good) instructor can inject thoughts and ideas in a way that reading books, blogs and presentations cannot. Something as simple as the way the content is organized also gives some insights; for example, what concepts are closely related. Andrew Ng's treatment of Machine Learning and Sedgewick's treatment of Algorithmic thinking stand out in my mind. But it's not just them; even the relatively unknown instructors of courses I'm taking right now have always given some insight that books or blogs haven't - and I do read a lot of them too.
It's disappointing to see this level of incompetence from a group responsible for such great leaps in web security. Let's Encrypt should take appropriate steps to ensure this never happens again lest they erode users' trust any further.

The supercharger is a better investment because the problem with the factory windsor block is that it cracks in the (middle) lifter valley. There are aftermarket blocks that can be used and can reliably support 1200hp. The supercharger will provide most bang for the buck.

Hey, welcome to my Corvette life!
Sorry I just saw this because for some reason this post got dropped off from the listing, I heard that I get penalized for not directly linking on a show HN post. I'm thinking about reposting tomorrow since only few people seem to have seen this post because of that. (If you see it again please upvote haha)

Anyway, it IS a web browser with strange markup syntax, if you put it that way. But there are many things I can point out, I'll just post some I can think of from top of my head:

1. It's native. Doesn't matter how you package a website, it still uses an HTML/JS/CSS engine to let you interact with it. Jason lets you effectively build a native app without actually building an app. The JSON markup is just an instruction to remote control native elements and native functions directly.

2. it's JSON based, it's meant for interacting with APIs, not a website. Websites don't work well because html/js/css have evolved to become something of monstrosity--which is both good and bad.

3. It assumes session. It assumes that you will be the sole user of the app, which browsers can't do for many reasons. So it has authentication/key management system built in.

4. More coming soon: This is just a first version, I intentionally cut down on many features I could have implemented because I wanted to see what people think first. I have a couple of production apps from which I extracted Jason. For an example check out www.ethan.fm It's running on Jason.
Thanks for your observation! I'll have to try it.

I'm assuming having to check manually for updates but that's not a big burden. Hopefully no inadvertent "side-effects" from running as a metered connection.

I bet they still do. I have lost a lot of things to customs, including a camera and a pair of shoes. They conveniently stuffed the package with magazines. I even had to pay exorbitant customs duty (even though it was declared as a gift) on the camera when it was delivered only to find it had been replaced with some magazines.

> most likely, because they either need to compute statistics or do an analysis that your app does not provide, or in order to make custom queries based on that output.

Very well could be, and this is actually a very good example of why unbounded features like this are terrible to have.

Using a main interactive view in the UI is not the way to achieve this. Data export, reporting systems, and/or APIs are the ways, and the big difference is performance is less of a factor. Over a second for a UI is a long time, but several seconds, or even several minutes, can be acceptable for data dumps/exports (that usually happen in the background, not user-interactive).

One way to look at this, write a user story of the form "As a _____, I want to ____ so I can _____", and then use it to rationalize modifying a primary UI (in a performance negative way).. if it's truly compelling enough, then spend the time to make the UI work. In my experience, that type of thing is better left to background exports (where performance is not critical).

After a while, this never ending river of UTF-8 characters and RGB pixels gets a little old.

You realize all the time you've spent whiling away so much time, imagining that it's all building up to something even better than yesterday's tide of serialized data streams, that your youth has faded, and you're still just staring at a lightbulb masked behind a screen of wires, listening to air disturbed by oscillating magnets, and nothing more.

But the worst part of this, is looking up, only to find a city full of similar people all still hopelessly enthralled by the discharge of so many lithium-ion batteries perturbed by some nearby electric coil.
> though a counterexample to a conjecture, does not advance mathematical theory in any way.

[I realize it's sarcasm but in case it's not clear to everyone, I'll speak my mind about it]

I think it's a pretty serious advancement. Confirming a conjecture is just as important as invalidating it with a counter example. It doesn't matter if that counter example fits on one line.

It's a pretty common acronym for those of us in education, of course. But it is also known among the startup/hacker crowd because of the well-funded startups in the space.

Also, it's beginning to be big in public policy. A couple of years ago, the California state senate was debating a bill to allow students to use MOOC courses for actual state college credit. That bill has since been shelved: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2013/08/01/controversial...

In defense of the submitter, expanding the acronym may have pushed the title over the character limit.
"You agree to keep confidential ... the incidents or claims leading or related to our provision of the good will" certainly implies that I'm agreeing not to talk about the incident.
Perhaps it's a generational thing. The OP and many posters here on HN had very nice, supportive parents who told them that the world is on their side, that they would succeed in whatever they tried to do, and that people are generally good-willed.

I on the other hand am afraid of figures of authority. I fear the police. I don't think that things will necessarily go well. And I'm especially afraid at the border. I answer the officer's questions as laconically as possible, usually in monosyllables. Things usually go well.

Imagine a thought experiment, where the OP's middle class white mind was teleported into an African American's body, dropped into a poor part of town, and stopped by the police. She would have been just as traumatized.
Well, yeah! That's why people rage!

The definition of "Progressive Web Apps" according to Google is on https://developers.google.com/web/progressive-web-apps/ and https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/your-first-p...:

"A Progressive Web Apps is:

* Progressive - Works for every user, regardless of browser choice because it's built with progressive enhancement as a core tenet.

* Responsive - Fits any form factor: desktop, mobile, tablet, or whatever is next.

* Connectivity independent - Enhanced with service workers to work offline or on low-quality networks.

* App-like - Feels like an app to the user with app-style interactions and navigation because it's built on the app shell model.

* Fresh - Always up-to-date thanks to the service worker update process.

* Safe - Served via HTTPS to prevent snooping and to ensure content hasn't been tampered with.

* Discoverable - Is identifiable as an "application" thanks to W3C manifest and service worker registration scope, allowing search engines to find it.

* Re-engageable - Makes re-engagement easy through features like push notifications.

* Installable - Allows users to "keep" apps they find most useful on their home screen without the hassle of an app store.

* Linkable - Easily share via URL, does not require complex installation."
I always wanted to work through the algorithms MOOCs from Princeton but I kept putting it off. Profs Sedgewick and Wayne are phenomenal teachers. Anyone know if this course will be available in the future?

(probably not, since they had no certificates etc, and I don't see them going along with paid-for-quizzes courses, but it doesn't hurt to ask)
I can personally vouch for this having taken Algorithmic Thinking course by Rice Univ.

I believe they did in a way, certificates are now available only if you pay, rather than for anyone taking the class. That doesn't bother me but it's the first step coursera took before ending up where it is now.
> When dealing with Trump, it it important to ignore what he says, because he will literally lie 71 times in a single speech: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-fact-check_....

First of all, HuffPo is uh, far from an unbiased source when it comes to Trump. But secondly, a lot of that stuff has very flimsy reasoning behind it:

> 11. Claim: “She wasn’t dragged to the ground.” — Trump on Fields.

> Reality: Trump implies here that Fields said she was dragged to the ground. She never did.

> She said, “I almost fell to the ground, but was able to maintain my balance,” which is what the video shows.

If you follow the link with her quote, right before the "I almost fell..." sentence, in her own words she says "Someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down."

Which directly contradicts

> Reality: Trump implies here that Fields said she was dragged to the ground. She never did.

So uh, HuffPo is lying here about a time they claimed Trump is lying?

And then you get stuff like this:

> 53. Claim: “I am not soliciting money from insurance companies and from lumber companies and from banks and from — if I did, I would have made Jeb Bush look like a baby.”

> Reality: He made Bush look like a baby anyway.

Are we reaching here or what? They're seriously trying to say he's lying about not making Jeb look bad? And then you've got stuff like this:

> 40. Claim: “Only a fool would give a tax return [during an audit].”

> Realty: Lawyers do advise against doing this. But nothing about being audited prevents Trump from releasing his tax records.

So yeah, he's right that he shouldn't give out his tax return during an audit. What is he lying about here? He never said he couldn't, just that he shouldn't.

If the disclaimer the HuffPo puts on every Trump article hasn't clued you in, they've clearly got an axe to grind against him and you're not exactly guaranteed to get unbiased reporting about him from them.
But that's not what is happening. Manufacturers are deciding to go this route because it's cheaper/easier for them to do. Nothing stops them from limiting the power of a radio while still letting you run your own software, or providing mesh networking.

Network Solutions was getting paid per registration even under the original contract; it's just that it was originally the National Science Foundation that was obligated to foot the bill for each domain.

That's why the government was so eager to renegotiate.
Spy exhanges and most diplomatic processes rarely gets enshrined in law. At least not without the resulting law being written in a far more open process afterwards (e.g. consider changes after the Troubles in Northern Ireland - the negotiations certainly didn't happen in the limelight, but the subsequent legal changes in the UK did happen in the open).

Whether or not "publishing each move" is beneficial depends on what "each move" is. I agree that at the most fine grained level, you don't want everyone to find out how far you were willing to go in conversations with one opposing negotiator, in case you need to negotiate similar clauses with someone else, for example.

But once you have agreed that you're giving X in return for Y, publishing that should not do much harm unless giving X is controversial. In which case the "harm" might be exactly what ought to happen.

Here's another example, which is more relevant:

During Norways EEA negotiations with the EU, the Norwegian press reported details pretty much daily. I just checked the archive of one of Norways largest papers to confirm my memory, and from '90 to '92, EEA was mentioned about 5000 times, and included things like government ministers informing the press about likely contents of Norwegian negotiation positions that had not yet been presented to the EU (but where the overall lines of the EU position was known - in one case I looked at, the minister confirmed that the Norwegian position would overall come close to what the EU had asked for in terms of regulation of granting operating licenses for EU companies in certain areas).

They certainly did not get access to everything, but they got regular briefings, and it contributed to ensuring the debate over whether or not to join the EEA shaped the negotiations, as the sitting, pro-EEA government got very clear signals about which concessions would cause the biggest problems with the opposition and/or cost them voters.
It probably won't be very exciting considering the emails existed only in the Body of the email. The emails themselves were only addressed to individuals. You can see this in the linked screenshot.

the government encourages people to not duplicate effort, the purpose of patents is to encourage people to disclose an invention so that other people don't reinvent the wheel, the incentive being that you get a monopoly on the wheel for a limited time

Are there any successful ventures with such "pay-what-you-like" pricing strategy?

Having unsuccessfully tried such a pricing model myself, I have serious doubt about it's viability. Majority will not pay anything, very few will pay reasonable amount, and some will pay very little but will be very high maintenance.

Payer: God dammit, I paid for your service and I want one hour of your support time.
Company: How much did this payer paid? 50 cents! We need to hire someone who will take 30 cents to support this payer for an hour.

This is one of those pricing strategy that sounds good and people will claim to support but in reality wouldn't.

Although not a good read (in terms of being engaging or interesting), you'll find that a lot of security professionals will use something like the Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmark when doing a formal audit or configuration review of RHEL (or any major Linux distribution for that matter). They will run a command line tool that will check the system's config against every item in the benchmark. The tool will generate a report with pass/fail outcomes for each item plus hardening advice. It's not perfect but it can be a decent starting point before you do further manual analysis of your system.

for anyone wondering, the parent is 100% sarcasm and making fun of editors. (The REJECT is the punchline).

You can tell by "How can you be sure that the computer program did not skip any smaller examples?"

However, in actuality it really is actually too short. For example, it would be far more interesting to us in 2016 to read this early computational result if it included "reference made to previous attempts to study Euler's conjecture or similar conjectures", also "What led the authors to consider a computer search as opposed to any other approach?" and so forth.

Also in 2016 it would be extremely interesting to know "How was the programming done? How long time did the execution take?" For purely history-of-computation reasons.

Also it would be really interesting for the authors to have listed their own views on the ramifications, i.e. in what way it advances mathematical theory (or not).

Even though the parent comment is sarcastic, as a reader in 2016, I got next to nothing out of the paper. If it had been rejected on the above (sarcastic) basis, and the authors had submitted a six-page version, it would be far more interesting to us. The same would have been true for contemporaries.
Ah neat, I did not know about the book, thanks.

You can actually get across the Strait on foot (or by dog sled) with a bit of kayak assist for some of the year, and the natives (who are mostly Iñupiat and Yup'ik in that region -- "Inuit" is largely a Canadian term) traveled across it regularly both over the ice and by water. Rumor has it that there was a considerable amount of cross-Strait travel even during the depths of the Cold War.

Edit: see http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=200...

As I noted before, rumor has it that the locals have always (and often) done this. They just don't publicize it in a manner that brings it to the attention of the authorities. :-)
