Your implicit assumption is that your kid will not succeed at something athletically no matter how hard they try. If a kid dreams of going for the NBA or the NFL, why not let them try?

It's a hypothetical example to show that there might be kids who are inherently good at different things, and that focusing on intelligence as the attribute not to praise hasn't played out over the last 18 years the way people seemed to expect in 1998.

My point is that intellectual aspirations are just as valid as athletic ones, and that kids should be free to choose their goals and dreams with full awareness of their own advantages and disadvantages.

What's the benefit of praising a child for their intelligence if intelligence is immutable?

The benefit I am proposing is that truly intelligent children won't be afraid to use their intelligence to get ahead, nor be afraid to admit where they might not be ahead. IMO maximizing individual potential puts society in a better position to maximize societal potential than trying to normalize everyone to be similar.
You kind of can already, stick linux on an ssd and just carry it about. I say ssd because not only are they fast, they can be powered over USB.

I suppose the optimal version of this would be to have your userspace carried on a cell phone, so you could plug your phone into any desktop and use it. There's already kind of versions of this, one where the laptop is basically a dumb terminal, and another called drivedroid which allows you to treat your phone as a bootable disk.

Show HN: DreamCoin: Anonymously Share Your Ideas and Profit
Do you live in an area where you get to like all of your neighbors? Did you go to a school and you ended up liking every single student there? When you take public transportation, do you like every passenger? You might say "Well, it's a company, we control every single aspect of it, down to cellular mitosis so of course we can control how culture grows!" and that, my friend, is called hubris.

If you think you truly have such powers as to steer precisely how humans interact with each other across different departments, contexts, on/off hours, and their cumulative personalities, then I'm going to have to politely ask you to put down the keyboard for a minute and consider the idea that humans aren't programmable robots. How can you consider this idea? Easy!

Take any culture you are personally grooming right now. What makes you think you are the authority on defining the borders and structure of that culture? Are you the appointed cultural architect? And if you think you are, then you are no longer talking about the actual culture that is organically growing around you with each and every interaction of minds. You are talking about what you THINK the culture should be based on your position of influence.

And that model of what you THINK culture is... is not the actual culture it's attempting to represent. That position has a name: It's not cultural architect. It's the morality police and it's a cheap cop-out that stops you from actually exploring your own assumptions of how your peers are engaging.

To you: Unity = strength

To me: Unity = stagnation

So while you hide your reasons of not wanting to work with me based on "culture fit" and "not being someone you want to work with", I can define PRECISELY why I wouldn’t' want to work with you. I'm forced to justify my assumptions. You can just silently reinforce them.

And that's why the whole "culture fit" craze is bullshit.
I interpret this advice as trying to give accurate feedback. Students don't get As on tests because they're naturals. They get As on tests from paying attention in class or from studying or from doing their homework [or for some combination].

So crediting what they did specifically (pay attention, study, etc) to accomplish their goal (get an A on a test) is a way to reward the work that they did [and to tie the success -- the A -- to the work that they did].

Saying "you have such a good vocabulary" is a compliment, but it's not a useful one. Saying "your reading has really helped you develop your vocabulary" might be better?
Yes, because the latter has a direct nexus with a commercial transaction.
Last year, I announced an app called Dude, I Got It! for anonymously sharing ideas and getting paid for them. The app has been rebranded into DreamCoin.

It's still a work in progress with an experimental design, so if you have any suggestions, I'll send you some DreamCoins for helping me out. If you're interested in joining the team, please let me know. Can't offer any full time positions at the moment.

I've received some feedback from people saying they had a hard time figuring out how to create an idea. It seems straightforward to me, but then again, I'm the one who designed it.
Well, hello there and welcome back (I guess).

What I'm wondering is does the Internet need another social network today, in late(ish) 2016? With the sheer number of people online today (be it via the web or mobile) and the undeniable usefulness of social networking to the users at large, I'd say the answer is yes, sort of.

Would he (they) be able to (re)gain critical mass? I'd say my guess is as good as anybody's guess, but with the still lingering brand recall of orkut of the past, he has a better shot at it then, let's say, a totally new entrant.

Also, I did not find any info on how this is funded - it would certainly be interesting to know something about this.
It's even finer-grained than that. Each session gets a hostname -- if you open the same document twice, it's at a different hostname each time. This also implies that different users get different hostnames, so you can't discover the host another user sees even if you have access to the same document.
although interestingly that could be solved my making it illegal to pay anyone more than say 5* the lowest employees salary.

If the problem is great disparity remove it.

You would use an airfoil suitable for flying wings. They tend to curve up at the back. One of my gliding instructors used to fly this flying wing with reasonably good performance (35:1 glide ratio):

Note the comment about the narrow centre of gravity range. The instructor said that wearing his heavy boots would change the flying characteristics enough that he could notice.

So such things exist and are at least somewhat practical.

Defense-in-depth against CSRF attacks, which are still way too common. Sandstorm can't security-review the apps for you but it can mitigate most vulnerabilities.
Just try to give credit for the things they did, not for what they are.

Eg if they paid attention in class, or if they took good notes, or if they did the homework, or if they studied -- credit that. Hopefully as a parent you'll have some idea of how they're spending their time.

But I absolutely agree that saying something false is not going to do them any favors [although they might learn that you have no idea how they spend their time].
I downloaded this application a few weeks ago, and I had such high hopes. Connecting to people based on interests is such a great idea. I think it's a significant reason that Reddit is so strong, and I would love to see a product take it to a deeper level (multi-interest connections).

I was immediately disappointed by hello. The pre-defined interests are limiting and the presentation is nothing more than an instagram feed. Over a period of days, people were adding me as connections, and I had no idea why. None of it made any sense. When I log into the app, all I saw was random content completely unrelated to any interest at all.

This isn't about connecting based on interests. It's about being bored and needing instant gratification from notifications.
Right now the boundary for restrictions on commercial speech seems to lie right around labeling for GMOs. Calorie labeling is okay because its purely informational, factually neutral, and has a direct link to a real concrete government interest. GMO labeling is on the border because there is a strong political element to it, and there is no proof GMOs (unlike too many calories) are actually bad and therefore it does not implicate a government interest.

I would think the FTC's action is substantially over that line.
It's "the worst idea in the world" because it perpetuates the idea that certain words or thoughts are taboo.

This doesn't mean people stop having them.

This just means that they are labelled/judged if they have them.

Guess what happens then? People keep it to themselves. And then they vote for Trump. Why? Because, he is a ridiculous loudmouth who is very out of touch with most of reality. But, he doesn't feel the need to be censored. And to people who haven't spoken out due to fear of reprisal, this is an admiral characteristic. He gives them validation.

So yeah, political correctness is retarded.
No, it isn't.

If you're 30+, the Republican party has changed in very material ways that you can remember within your voting lifetime. One could say the same about the Democratic party. Maybe it was always money first and not averse to war, but it seems like they used to both find ways to get things done that benefitted the middle class to some degree. Now, I'm not sure who of the majority either party represents, but they're our only choices and we have a lot of people (not to generalize, but mostly of a boomer demographic) that shows up to vote their party no matter what. I often wonder if they know their party from 30 years ago is different than their party today or not, and whether that matters, or if not voting for the other guys is more important. And not to pick on boomers, we also have my generation, which didn't show up to vote 20 years ago and still doesn't today. This about sums it up:

"The plane is a a Boeing 767-300 operated by Atlas Air, an existing provider of air cargo services for Amazon.com."

So it seems a bit like they are announcing a paint job on a vendor's plane. However, the underlying story reminds me a bit about Sears & Roebuck. That retailer came to dominate the scene by innovating in the logistics of getting material and goods "most of the way" there so that ordering out of the "Sear's Catalog" could be just as good as going to the store.
In a lot of (most) circumstances, disclosures are inherently going to be pretty buried.

In a video, they're probably going to be somewhere in small print in the credit roll at the end. For example it's pretty standard practice to have a standard disclaimer related to product placement.

And even when journalists and others have a link to a detailed disclosure statement, how many people actually click through to read that.

I generally favor transparency but the reality is that most disclosures are always going to be effectively footnotes and 99% of the time people won't notice them or will just ignore them.

Thanks! Email alerts are one of top requested features, it's definitely on my shortlist for the next feature to incorporate.

Another feature I'd like to add is an ability to follow people, but I'm worried about the exact implementation since the current assumed contract is that your library is private.

One more feature of course I hear about often are comments, but I'm afraid of the site disintegrating into YouTube comments. I think comments have to be done very carefully and would require significantly higher code complexity to incorporate moderation tools, etc. Tricky and non-trivial not just implementation wise but design-wise, incentive-wise, etc.

No worries. I totally understand (and invite) the skepticism. It's good to question this kind of press when you see it, and try to understand where the technology really is. I just think it's important not to assume that anything presented with polish has to be compromising on content.

I now use gitlab for my company and haven't noticed a difference.

I want my git host to worry about hosting git.
Last time I tried Gitlab, I changed the setting to allow more than 10 projects for each user but the changes never took place. So I stuck with Gogs which is much much faster anyway.
Oh, that's excellent news!
Overreact much?

At no point did I attack you or deserve that response.

You've made it clear that your relationships are work aren't all that important to you. The context of this entire conversation is entirely focused on work... so why you would jump to relationships in general is baffling.

Non-browser alternatives for all the things listed above websocket: some application-layer protocol running on top of TCP.

Non-browser alternatives for websocket: TCP

Specifically, you're looking for messaging protocols like AMQP, MQTT, XMPP, STOMP, or even HTTP because there are other HTTP clients than just the ones inside browsers. All these protocols describe some aspects of framing and semantics, and predictably, you need both a protocol-client and a protocol-server to run them.

Stuff like SNS and GCM is Messaging-as-a-Service, where they host the server, and give you a client to integrate into your code.
We built ZeroTier initially for this use case, and though it's now maturing into something more powerful (SDN type features) it's still very useful for this and the WAN use case is not going away.

https://www.zerotier.com/

https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne

https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierSDK

The difference between something like ZeroTier and Tor is a trade-off between meta-data privacy and latency/speed. (Both encrypt the actual payload.)

Efficient connectivity and anonymity are antagonistic goals. You can't provide both since optimization for one of these two goals implies violation of the other.

Tor provides meta-data privacy, but it's impossible to do this without sacrificing a lot of performance. If you allow low latency on a privacy network, latency can be used to triangulate the endpoint. Rule of thumb: latency can never be lower than about 1/2 the time it takes a photon to travel the Earth's diameter. In practice it's higher since you must also account for median router latency. Same goes for high throughput though in that case you need much more detailed intel on the physical network. Rule of thumb here: if throughput is higher than global mean it can be used to rule out and thus narrow down paths in the graph.

ZeroTier provides fast efficient low-latency direct connectivity but to do this requires that it introduce people directly, thus revealing peoples' locations (IP-wise) to each other. This is a hard requirement since the most efficient path is by definition the most direct and therefore de-anonymized (again IP-wise) path. You can't go directly A<>B without A knowing where B is and vice versa.

Edit: I speak a bit theoretically above. In practice a weaker anonymity system could be deployed closer to the last mile to hide people at e.g. city resolution. But AFIAK this is not what Tor does, would probably require either a huge critical mass or last-mile carrier participation or both, and would still have a performance impact.
Laissez-Faire in Tokyo Land Use
Who's advocating teaching smart kids everyone is the same?

It seems that has been the general trend in elementary education since I was a kid. As an example, I remember the year that all the talent trophies were changed to be the same size, and everyone got one just for participating. Athletics were an exception, though; it was considered acceptable to be better at sports. It was a noble attempt to try to boost the underprivileged, but just ended up confusing everyone.

The once reasonable protesting class are being supplanted by increasingly unreasonable protestors who are rebels searching desperately for a cause.

This is an interesting explanation for the phenomenon I had not yet considered. I am not yet convinced it is the right or only one, but I will keep it in mind.

True, but they don't rely on location to use the app. P-GO does require location, or app does not work.

> From my observations, earning a BS (or BA?) requires a far less rigorous schedule than working at a full-time job.

Pfft. A 9 to 5 job sounds like a piece of cake compared to some of my semesters. At least provided you are not working when you get home. I guess that some universities just don't push students too hard then.

Also, the "stuff going on" could well be a full time job, as it was in my case. What then?

I'm constantly impressed by how involved GitLab engineers are not just on HN but other communities when brought up. Not sure if you guys have people constantly looking for mention of "GitLab" but even if you are, the responsiveness and agreeableness to look into issues and invite people to be a part of the solution they seek out are phenomenal habits and I applaud you guys for it. It's one of the many reasons I converted a while back from Github and probably wont be looking back anytime soon.

> It is interesting to note that one of the world's best compressor (paq8l) can compress the 250kb word list down to 48.5kb, less than the space taken by the lossy compression methods proposed in the paper! For comparison, regular modern compression methods (such as gzip, lzma etc) only achieve twice that size (85-90kb).

You might be right. According to openhub Firefox had 1121 contributors last year. Compared to that Chromium had 1919 contributors. Not all of them work for Mozilla and Google respectively and not all employees commit to the code base...

Lying to federal law enforcement (and local law enforcement in most or all jurisdictions) is also a crime, even if you're not under oath. If the FBI knocks on your door and asks if your neighbor committed a particular crime and you say no, and then they can prove that you know he did, you can go to prison. Though I imagine that they often decide against pursuing charges in such cases.
SCSH, a scheme library/derivitive built on scheme48, works well here. It's got functions and macros for doing all those things. It works quite well, but is sadly seemingly barely maintained. However, its features have been ported to just about every scheme out there, to some extent.

He acknowledges this implicitly in "Demand vs. Capacity". This is not just about a library, it is about resources: a proportional number of nodes would need to participate in the Tor network as proxies. (And it's a constant factor of nodes depending on how many bounces you want).
