I may be around the wrong schools, but I believe the average nationwide is something in the range of 6 years for tenure.

This sounds like a semantic issue demanding clarity; does one "not sympathise" with Rodney King specifically, particularly on account of the behaviour that triggered his arrest, or as a victim of a police beating?
amen. not always the case, but certainly true most of the time. I haven't heard a satisfactory explanation from police of why the job becomes so hard all of a sudden. Unless its necessary to break the law to do your job and lack of a record keeps you from being prosecuted.

I know the real world is different than most people think, but I also think most of the pressure to break the law probably comes from having to enforce laws that shouldn't be on the books anyway, like drug laws.
so you understand the confusion then huh?
I can't imagine there is a school in existence that would let someone flounder about for 20 years without tenure. Even lower level schools generally make a tenure/fire decision at year 5.
As a European, I think the largest problem is the language barrier: at the very least you need to translate everything, and then be able to answer customers requests. Not being able to talk directly to your customers is a gigantic issue, suddenly you are adding an extra indirection layer.

Regarding my startup : ShiningPanda, you will definitely be able to use it from any country in the world, but I strongly doubt it will talk to you in dutch any time soon. Most certainly French, maybe Japanese (though I doubt there are enough opportunities for what we are doing there), but that's about it.

Not that we don't want our service to be translated in other languages, but it would take ressources that we don't have (yet).
But the other markets are in many cases easier to conquer! The US market has a lot more competition.

It depends. My house has a finite amount of roof space.

If a solar farm has to be too big, it can only be very remote and then there's a distribution problem. (Consider road sign lights. You'd rather not run wires to them, so "on sign" solar is a natural, but size matters.)

He's obviously talking about AACS and BD+. Which have also been cracked.
I'm only semi-familiar with the issues, but on the surface swapping across nodes rather than to disk seems like it has to be a win. I think the problem might be that on a long running system there is rarely any truly "free" memory. Rather, one chooses to dump cached pages. It's possible that the cost of copying across nodes plus the eventual reread of the cache makes it a negative? Although I'd have to think that it's better than a certain write.

I can see the logic where allocating on a non-local node is potentially a mistake. Depending on how many times the memory will be accessed, it may well be worth the immediate hit to swap a page to disk and keep all your accesses local. For the swap, you at least have evidence that it hasn't been used that recently, thus may never be used again. It would be sad to work yourself into a corner where lots of long lived processes are constantly cross-allocating.

Edit to add:

Looks like a good reference paper here: http//www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/christoph/.../numamemory.pdf
Only skimmed, but it makes it sound like 'page migration' is already in place.

I'm particularly interested in the idea of migration partly because it might help provide an answer to my recent StackOverflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3784434/inserting-pages-i...

Sounds like you want a license where you get to dictate exactly how any downstream user reuses your software, down to the details of the packaging, and prohibit modifications/forks/removals/etc.? But that's not really an open-source license at all, then.

The whole point of open-source software is that I can take a thing, decide that I only want 50% of it, rip out the other 50%, add on a bunch of new stuff, totally change some of the remaining stuff, use it for a new purpose, package it in a new way, undo a decision the maintainer made that I disagree with, etc. If you don't like people having that freedom, open-source just doesn't seem like the way to go. It sounds like you want a "freeware for verbatim distribution" proprietary-but-no-cost license.
Abiword?
I'm not an expert, but this sounds like useless crap. The comment in the article mentions that this "could come in handy in sub-Saharan Africa, where less than 25 percent of the population has reliable electricity". My best understanding of this statement, from limited experience in africa, is that grid electricity is available but a little unreliable - it goes down frequently. This soccer ball will have expensive electronics for capturing energy and an expensive battery. Of course, if I have intermittent grid power and a battery, I'm already all set. I don't need the electronics to capture the kinetic energy. Worse, if this thing breaks in any way - and it's literally getting kicked around - to repair the innards probably requires cutting the soccer ball in half, which makes it pretty unlikely to be repairable.
I know it's just a prototype, but would it kill a mainstream news outlet to report an actual wattage number instead of "enough energy to do X for Y hours"?

Assuming (conservatively) three wicked-bright LED's at a quarter-watt a piece, that's .75 * 3 = 2.25 watt hours. This is in the range of a rechargeable AA battery (2000 mAh * 1.2v = 2.4 Wh)

Sorry about the negativity. I actually didn't read your post that made it to the same page for the same reason (overly sensational title).

If you look at Digg or Reddit they are essentially just bit lists of overly sensational titles.

One thing I like about HN is that we manage to mostly avoid that... and titles are generally fairly informative.

I typically only downvote/flag stories that have overly sensational titles, b/c I view them as bait for the more cursory of readers, who don't generally make thoughtful comments b/c their attention span is calibrated toward sensational, dopamine trigger words.

I've found that if a post makes it to the HN front page it's generally quality reading, so a sensational title actually provides a signal not to read it.
Specifically, from 2002:

“The usual metaphor for screens (projection and computer) these days seems to be black type on a white background, that is, a paper metaphor. This sometimes results in video glare, with lots of rays coming from the background. Sometimes the old fashioned computer screen seems less tiring, showing lit-up text on a dead backround.

“So you should try to reduce video glare, perhaps by reducing the figure/ground contrast. For example, our screens on this website usually have a light tint on the ground to reduce the electric blue-white video glare. Of course on the computer screen, one can just turn down the brightness control when working at night or in a darkened room. Television control rooms and airplane cockpits generally have darkened backgrounds upon which to display lighted data.

“On paper, white type on a black background can result in filled-in serifs because of the printing process. It is also harder to read white type on a black ground (there surely must be some evidence about this). But we should never be working at the edge of legibility in any situation, so legibility tests might not be relevant.

“For projection presentations, obviously the figure/ground contrast must be sufficient to overcome the ambient light. Check your presentation room out in advance, test your projectors, find out how to control the room lighting and the window curtains if necessary. You should simply look at the various design solutions under real conditions to see what is going on, and not depend on verbal discussions such as this to decide!”

While I do second your impression that many books I liked where referrals, I'd say that the image of a customer sampling a book in a public library or bookstore seems to be quite an iconic classic, and thus it makes sense to port it to a new media.

On the other hand, while it is hard to judge a book by it's cover, it's not so crazy to judge it from a few paragraphs: if it's a funny book, you can usually tell right away if it's your genre of irony, and if it's fantasy you can see easily if it's all smeerps and naked heroins dressed in leather and so on.

Some things do grow on you during reading, but if you can't stand a pompous verbose style (or a crude bare one) you can avoid starting reading something you won't ever even finish.

But, obviously, all of this is IMO.
Debian is not abusive, some DDs are unfriendly some of the time. Some mistakes have been made. This isn't some conspiracy to ruin your rep.
How about users/sysadmins "rise up" against ruby/python/php for having module distribution/loading systems which in no way try actively to be easy to package well?

Tell us about the changes you are going to make such that all gems/eggs are automatically packaged for RHEL/Debian/etc so the overhead for DDs, and consequently their opportunity to confuse things, is near zero. That's the outcome we need. Are the languages prepared to make the changes necessary?
But that goes both ways: a woman can wear almost whatever she likes in a situation where a man can't.

True story, a few years ago I was working for a very traditional financial services firm, and the word came down from On High, people were to wear shirts or polo shirts, not t-shirts, in the office (as opposed to, out visiting clients, which you'd wear a suit for). The girls kept on wearing t-shirts. Someone mentioned it and was informed that they weren't t-shirts, they were "women's tops".

Incidentally, women dress up to impress other women. Men simply don't notice eyelashes or nail varnish or whatever.
I agree that it's not about competing to see who can be the biggest victim. I doubt most women wish to be victimized in any way at all. Nonetheless, considering women have been oppressed by men historically and still are in many countries in the world, it seems like a lot of confidence would be required to assert that we have fully eradicated such systemic oppression here. It would require a level of confidence I do not have.

Sun had more copyrights than anyone except IBM. I suspect that's the reason. And it could have even been a defensive thing. Sun was obviously failing badly. If they didn't buy Sun someone else eventually would and then that company could almost certainly start suing oracle over something.

Honestly, I just thought it sounded original ;) You know, Hacks that are Artsy! I think Artists are also geeks, and creating some of those amazing art pieces is a hack!

I guess Its just an idea I had. Again, its meant to be something entertaining for peeps here. Every now and then I write posts myself, but I prefer to showcase nice finds out on the internet, specially ones that may be worth looking at.

Some 'hackers' don't go out to the art/design world, so I may as well bring some of that world to them, at least the stuff that is interesting.
Targeting only their own country is totally understandable. What really irritates me is websites using a .com domain but not mentioning they are US-only until the very last step in the signup/payment process. At least mention this on the About page, or better yet, use a .us TLD if you are not going to expand.
In FOSS we call this "branch and patch" ;)

But seriously, all distros patch things, they have to to make them work well together on the platform in question or to get the features/fixes they need. Look at how much RHEL patches the kernel, or Ubuntu patches GNOME.

"The Project Leader's Delegate(s) may choose not to admit new Developers, or expel existing Developers. If the Developers feel that the Delegates are abusing their authority they can of course override the decision by way of General Resolution - see §4.1(3), §4.2."

I've been privy to some secret acquisition terms in the past, and in most cases the speculation on the web had no connection to reality. When you make up numbers, they can get repeated until they gain credibility and drown out any genuine information about the deal, a disservice to the community.
Let's have a leader board for every site with Points accumulated/second. "Kunjan Killed this site with a score of 1700". Are headings and hidden fields worth more points?
True— although I think that's most of it, really. The comment I read that inspired this idea just wanted to see the other players.

And if you really get into shooting stuff, the mayhem creates an excellent illusion of participation :P

I think it's the sort of thing that needs a certain critical mass of players to be engaging... maybe this just isn't the right time.

> dictate exactly how any downstream user reuses your software

I agree with your post. It's also worth pointing out that if someone abandons open source licensing, one thing I'd put in my licenses - way before we talk about fiddling with the path layout and such - is that the software can't be used by people I find reprehensible: neonazis, repressive governments, and so on and so forth.

Of course, I prefer freedom to that kind of licensing, so I just live with the knowledge that horrible people may use things I wrote.
Only Debian considers it to be a problem for GPL software to dynamically link with system versions of OpenSSL. They be loud and obnoxious about it, but they really are the only ones who are stirring up shit. It's only possible to be incompatible if the GPL software ships with a bundled version of OpenSSL and doesn't append an exception to the GPL.

The OpenSSL project does not consider it to be a problem at all.

The upstream authors that simultaneously link with OpenSSL and use a GPL license obviously don't think it's a problem.
Risk/reward. If they're easier to conquer the reward might be similarly smaller.
Oh come on, that one's at least obvious. It comes down to laziness.

Both sexes take a pee more often than they take a dump; but while women do both activities the same way (sitting), men do them differently. So for women, it takes more sense to keep the seat down, so it's ready for them the next time; for men, up is a more practical position, as they need to sit only a fraction of times.
You're right about remote applications, of course. I'm thinking about replacing coal with solar on a large scale.

Roofs are a silly place to put solar cells. Like everyone growing wheat on their roofs. Farms are the right model for harnessing lots of sunlight to grow food or make electricity.
>Unfortunately most people don't care or don't care to know.

Hackers on the internet care. Pandora's "free and instant information" box has been opened, I don't think you'll ever be able to close it again.

"Joe Plumber" on the internet will also care the first time someone hacks his bank account because his bank was using one of these backdoorable encryption schemes for online banking.
I would love to see this. As much as they say the site will be independent, it's hard to believe AOL won't ask for a few favors every now and then.
Make sure s/he's on-board with the objectives, make him/her part of the estimation process, agree targets (features, fixes, etc) with timescales, point him/her in the right direction and let go. Hand over the responsibility.

Occasionally when passing ask how it's going, whether it's ahead or behind. Check roughly every day or so, asking if there's anything needed to unblock progress, or if it's going well.

As you work on the agreed timescales/workload, hours will settle out naturally. Let them work whenever they like to achieve the goals, but make sure they're in fairly frequently so you have the communication.

All this can be mutated, but that's what works for me.
Blasdel: no that's not true. Even OpenSSL themselves acknowledge there is a problem:

A polynomial is the sum of terms with powers in them.

For instance:

y = 3*x
y = x*x
y = 3*x*x*x + 5*x - 7*x

Any polynomial you can think of will always, at some point, grow slower than an exponential curve. So it's not necessarily "more complex", but it's somewhere in between linear and exponential (informally speaking).

There's a whole theory behind linear/polynomial/exponential growth that is at the basis of algorithms in computing. If this interests you, you should read up on complexity theory - though learn the basics and stop when it gets too abstract :-)

Growing and developing a strong local business model is a better path in my opinion. You could afford to make mistakes and learn quickly when you are at a stronger ground( a market you understand). When you're young, you'll lose your focus while thinking about the European market (using Europe as an example). European companies would ALWAYS (emphasis) spring up to cater to the European market. They might feel that they could cater the the local market better than a foreign organization and they might be right esp. if they have the focus.

Once, a startup has established itself in its focus market, grown and is ready to expand to another market, starting a branch in the European market becomes that much easier. The US success will certainly help in quickly establishing yourself as a global player.

Acquiring smaller companies in new markets is also a strategy that is quite successful and would be easier if you've succeeded in your local market. I'm pretty sure that Yelp would be able to acquire smaller European companies and use them as a starting point for a European expansion.

I'm not so sure first mover advantage really helps when moving to new markets since you are an early mover in your own market and are able to learn for this period there. Also, you could look at the strategy of existing players in new market to figure out the market differences. Because of this, I believe patience is a virtue when expanding to newer markets.

No, it doesn't. I've used stow heaps of times in my home directories on various university machines. The common case is for managing /usr/local, but you can ./configure --prefix=$HOME && make && make install prefix=$HOME/stow/foo-3.14 && cd $HOME/stow && stow foo-3.14 without trouble.
Arrington has never claimed to be building a company in the vein of those he covers as a journalist. It's more of a "very successful media outlet" than a "dipshit tech company."
Well if you really want to play tough about it you just say that all bug reports for your software running on Debian must go through the package maintainer. You could even ignore them if you get a lot of bogus ones.
