Actually, I implied that he sounded like an ass.

And it's disingenuous of you to pretend that the purpose of his comment was to purely, disinterestedly disseminate facts.

Instead of hearing the wisdom of the article writer, he demonstrates precisely the mentality with which she was finding fault, essentially generalizing her philosophy to all women, and painting it in the light of failure rather than moderation and internal peace.

Frankly, I find his comment chauvinistic and somewhat offensive, and I'm not even a woman.
Our early decision to use SHA-1 was a balance between limitations of mobile hardware and the security landscape of the day.

Much of Skynet's core technology is actually designed for mobile platforms. Skynet essentially thinks of a desktop computer as a fancy phone with a different UI toolkit and without a cellular modem.

While switching to SHA-2 is on our to-do list, it's not as high as nailing a stellar experience for our users. Should SHA-1 erode more quickly than expected, we'll be sure to bump up the priority of that transition. We'll be sure to pivot the network before it's a real problem.

Well, I'll just say that, when I was in grad school at an Ivy League school that 100% of the professors, for whom I knew anything about their parents, were also professors -- and that was a sample between 20 and 30 people.

Things might be different at other schools, but I do know that even the Chronicle of Higher Education is starting to recognize the 'dynastic succession' phenomenon after years of it going on under wraps.
It really depends on what you are trying to measure in what time frame. If you are concerned about your overall daily mental performance re: coding or the sort that would require focused thinking, one indicator to note could be to see how long it would take you to do things that you normally expect to get done in a reasonable manner. It's really a matter of tracking yourself against your history. If you've had a log of how much it took you to do something, you could compare your activities against that for starters.

Other thing to note would be the level of distraction you may be under. A good way to track this is to do it indirectly using something like RescueTime. If you find that the app you should be using is very low or you see a spur of new, bite sized activities popping up, then maybe your performance is taking a hit from tiredness.

But really, I would just worry about if things are getting done within the time frame you expect + compare against your control (past).
If that were the case, I wouldn't be working on a startup probably. Instead I would be looking for a job to pay for the necessaries.
But Crossfit high-volume movements are relatively low weight -- you should be doing 50-60% of your 1 Rep Max of a given movement in a metcon workout. The crossfit workouts "as prescribed" assume a base level of strength acquired from doing high weight, low volume lift days.

It is because the ECMAScript type system is a real WTF.

I always found the type system of PHP questionable, especially the useless and bug provoking unity between arrays and hash tables. However, ECMAScript provides such mis-design at an even lower level of the language. Nevertheless, I still like working with ECMAScript because at least it has proper closures.
Einstein's Tomb, a giant sculpture floating through space
Yeah but very few people can successfully pull this off. The vast majority of broke people are still harboring some sort of grudge against society or someone from their past - it's like they have 99% of the inconveniences of abandoning materialism, but none of the benefit because they refuse to "go all the way" with it.

In many ways intellectual freedom can only be found once material mastery has been achieved. There are a few famous examples from history that say otherwise, like Diogenes, but I doubt you're at his level. I also doubt you really believe in what you're saying, otherwise you would go straight to "abandoning" instead of posting on Hacker News.
The most important part of mental performance that may be impacted is awareness of things going on around you, because this can be a safety hazard, especially while driving. Unfortunately, it's also hard to detect, because when you don't notice something you don't notice that you don't notice it. However, ability to focus may be a good proxy. Can you pay attention to someone for as long as you used to be able to without having your mind wander? Note that being able to focus on a specific thing, like your work, doesn't mean that you're not impacted. According to research, the ability to focus is a depletable resource, and you could be pulling focus from one area to maintain another. See if there's anything in your life, like reading a book, doing chores, or talking with your significant other, where your focus is notably impacted in quality or duration.

Once you've made sure you're not going to nod off on the freeway, you can start focusing on whether your ability to work may be impaired. Priorities!
I agree this is probably true. However I think it still makes a great example.
Is this really an "attack open-source Java community"? Google doesn't use the JVM and none of this seems aimed at OpenJDK. It just seems the reasoning is really weak and can be countered with Google isn't supporting the JVM with Android.
Let's not forget turning pages on the Kindle is rather slow, which to me implies that while reading speed may be lower, reading experience isn't neccesarily worse.

Reading speed is not all I care about. In fact, I don't care about it at all, really, so long as it's within acceptable limits.
Custom domains are unaffected, no action needed.

I notice that there are sometimes duplicate items; they might not have the exact same title, but refer to the same item. For example, searching for "wheel of time in:books" shows multiple entries for the same books. Will there be some kind of mechanism to deal with that?

I feel as if this problem is exacerbated in the tech community because your credibility comes from having a big exit. For example, Chris Dixon is definitely an insightful guy but would he be as widely consumed if he hadn't sold a company for millions of dollars?

The commenters seem to agree that freedom and independence are the only things worth coveting. In VC-talk a tech founder can usually get financial independence for life with a "double" However, its the guys who hit the home runs that are respected and looked up to, and I imagine that drives a lot of tech founders.
"Just get out there and do it," is probably the best insight from the interview.

Software doesn't cost anything in terms of capital to build; you just have to put the effort into your ideas and run with them.

This is a good economic explanation for why national health care systems should outperform employer based (or any other) systems. You can't get a larger pool of people to spread risk around, under a single legal framework, than an entire nation state.
Also, a possible issue with accents, or maybe Unicode characters in general. Searching for "pokemon" gets you a bunch of books, but zero video games. Searching for "Pokémon" does bring up the games.
I did for a while, but have gotten lazy. There is latency, though it is nothing like dialup was.

Why did I use Tor? Because a website whose FAQ said they don't log IPs (Slashdot) gave my IP to the Secret Service. The Service then came to my house with guns. Seriously.

(I showed them the comment, and they went away. The agents investigating did not actually read the comment before coming to my house to question me about it. WTF?)

Anyway, Tor is a necessity if you post content to the Internet. Although there is very little the legal system can do to you in the US for your protected speech, they can still fuck up and show up at your house to harass you. Use Tor, and they end up in Siberia instead.
I love this⸮
Simple rule about DDoSes: there are no guarantees.
Obviously, you've done a good job on keeping your landing page clear, and done a very good and simple description of the service.

However, even here on HN, you'd find that most people are consumers and not contributors. Therefore, getting a sign-up on the homepage and not providing access to the content is likely going to hurt your growth.

I love arrested development, which I saw on your page. So I clicked on it, expecting to get rankings, reviews, or recommendations of other things i might like.

Unfortunately, I didn't get that. So I don't get to try out your technology. I can only see what you liked.

also, why have the type way off on the right hand side (tv show, film)?
I had no idea what Angel was, and with the light grey AND the positioning, it took a bit to figure it out.
I like the idea that they type isn't blaring out, but I think better placement would improve it.

I assume others have recommended that you provide filters by media type?

Way to much you, your and you're in that last sentence zachattack, I felt like you think I personally believe that is freedom.

Well, not total privacy. Your browser leaks uniquely-identifiable information, Javascript tracking bugs + cookies track you, and your hard drive is subject to seizure by customs or law enforcement.

Now, if you fake the UA with something very common, turn off most Javascript, and encrypt your hard drive in a deniable manner, then you are OK. (One of my side projects is to make the deniable encryption even easier for web browser history.)

Just because something is illegal doesn't mean you want everyone to know about it. Do you want your ISP to read your email with your girlfriend? Do you want Google to know about your medical conditions?

Information is power; the less you give to other people, the more power you have over your own life. Why let your ISP and search engine learn more about you than they need to know?

DDG is targeting itself to tech-savvy people that don't feel like leaking their entire life to the Internet. The Tor relay helps this marketing goal.

If your aspiration is simply to code interesting software projects all day long, I see no reason why being rich should be a prerequisite. Your expenses are minimal; you have no need of an office and can live anywhere. Will you require some money? Yes, and acquiring that will distract you slightly from the things you'd rather be doing. But that is a much better proposition, to me, than gambling away a decade or two of my best years on the remote chance to become wealthy and "completely" free.

Tell HN: AI Hedge Fund Trader Interviewed on Bloomberg at 5:19 PM EDT
Pimm Fox will interview a hedge fund manager that uses an 'artificial intelligence' program to guide trading. His show, "Taking Stock" is on at 5pm eastern U.S. time on both TV and radio.

Thought there would be some interest on here, but I wouldn't expect the discussion to get too technical; however, when he's 'on', Pimm asks some pretty good questions.

I use my Kindle to read all sorts of non-fiction works (I very rarely read novels). I'm not sure why everyone assumes it's only fiction readers that would care- there are plenty of non-fiction books that aren't reference books. I find it much preferable to read over the iPad, for all the standard reasons (glare, eye strain, etc.) I also find highlighting to be much preferable on the Kindle (maybe Amazon has updated their iPad app, but the version I have won't let you highlight across page boundaries) as well as going to footnotes and back. Of course I do a lot of my Kindle reading outside (at the pool, at the park, whatever) so that plays a major factor as well, it's like I don't want to use my iPad unless it's dark (this applies to more than just reading) because I hate seeing reflections.

The only times I really use the iPad in place of the Kindle is when I'm in a dark place (I've used it quite a bit outside at the hot tub at night), and I use the iPad for Instapaper usually instead of the Kindle.

Another reason I prefer longer reading (which Instapaper doesn't really fall under, while articles are usually longer form it's not like it's a book) on the Kindle is because with the iPad I find that I'll be too easily tempted to press Home and mess around with something else (I realize this is my own fault and not necessarily a fault of the iPad, but it's something that I'm sure other dual-owners have experienced).
the reason i don't think that works for me is that my family doesn't have a facebook account. we all have our own with our own contacts. this is about our family contacts

at_exit do

puts "Do you know the difference?"

4. BEGIN/END wtf?

# Have you ever seen these in production code?
BEGIN {}
END {}

5. The wonders of a single space

# Returns the position where the regexp matches "foobar",
# or nil if no match.
def get(regexp = /bar/)
regexp =~ "foobar"
end

get /1#/ # => nil
get / 1#/ # => 3 <- WTF?

6. Local variable tables; don't we all love them?

def get(regexp = /bar/)
regexp =~ "foobar"
end

get /1#/ # => nil
get = 5
get /1#/ # => 5
get / 1#/ # => 5

> I assume others have recommended that you provide filters by media type?

What do you mean provide filters by media type? If you mean books or tv shows, that's already in place, though filters usually only show up when they make sense (i.e. you won't see 'filter by books, tv shows or anime' if your search only returned books.)

> However, even here on HN, you'd find that most people are consumers and not contributors

Yeah, I plan to add things like 'if you liked X, you'll like Y', etc. I fully support not making people sign up if they don't want to.
You bounced me right after the signup page, when you asked me to search for things to rate. Sorry, recommendations are something I get for free from Amazon and iTMS; this is too much work.

Instead of a search, you need to present me with a shotgun blast of examples of things to like; getting the initial data out of me that you need to be useful needs to be twitch-simple, and ideally game-mechanic (have some kind of scoring, level-up system, and leaderboard for how many and what kinds of things I've reviewed).

(Ooops, I just re-read downthread, found out about GetGlue, and guess what: that's exactly what they do).

I'm kind of mystified by both these services though. Why do you think there's a company to be build on media recommendations?
I do wonder how many of the users currently on Flattr are there because they hope to manage to get enough Flattrs of their own to come out ahead. It would be interesting to run some stats: What percentage of Flattr users have created at least one Flattr button?

Because they don't want to spend/waste money maintaining certain features of a product that are less profitable? Or …?
I'm not sure that's the HN audience. I came here looking to get away from the childishness of reddit, yet have found a new (and, hitherto to me, unknown) brand of childishness: the entitled startup programmer. Reddit was primarily populated by high school/college kids, but it definitely had a significant population besides that.

As far as I can tell, HN is much more of an extreme monoculture; and one I have to confess I'm rather disappointed in. Instead of thoughtful discourses and commentary from those looking to expand their worldview, it's a strong current of close-mindedness and superiority.

I'm sure that my brief glimpse into the culture of HN is woefully inaccurate and I may certainly have just unluckily gotten the wrong impression from the threads I've read; but I doubt it.

This was one reference to the story I'd found: http://bluehaert.wordpress.com/2006/05/02/story-the-business...

Basically, a businessman runs into a fisherman by the beach and is telling him how he should get a boat, a fleet, put in hard work to make a lot of money and then he can retire, take it easy, go fishing for a couple hours each day, etc. Then the fisherman says "Isn't that what I'm doing now?"

Being successful is vague. If your goal is to be happy rather than rich, your requirements are much simpler.
It wasn't classless, it was marketing. No one wants their competitors poaching their clients but in business you deal with it. That said, the same thought went through my mind, I wonder if it's related.

Yeah, this is something I probably need to do. Once you rate one or two things, rating anything else is a blaze, but I need to work on convincing people to rate that first thing.

Since we're still in land-grab mode in the ebook business, selling at a loss might make all kinds of sense.

Once users amass a virtual bookshelf, you've got them locked in pretty hard, especially if they use the Kindle to read it. If the iPad becomes the e-reader of choice, lock-in is weaker because you can use all of the major bookstores on it.
Who cares if you ban an IP that's already unable to access your site? There's no downside, and it sounds considerably simpler than querying exit nodes.
Yes, except when I flip pages in a book, they change rather rapidly. I don't have to wait for a second or two per page turn. This delay actually completely kills the Kindle reading experience. I've only read 2 books on my Kindle, but have read over a dozen since getting my iPad.
It's an interesting concept but there's no context whatsoever in this; it's just a press release.

You might want to talk to people at a bike shop. When a bike fits you and is adjusted properly, pedaling should be very gentle on your knees. You might have your seat at a bad height, point your toes in or out while pedaling (twisting your knees), etc. If you're using clipless pedals, they'll probably need to have their float adjusted.

(If you're riding a fixed-gear bike with no brakes and slow down by backpedaling / skidding, that's another issue entirely. Just get a front brake.)
If the median programmer leaves the industry after 10 years, career choice matters a great deal; making 3 times as much for 1/4th the time isn't a net win.
