5 Gadgets that Broke New Ground in 2010
What's the variety for your other four subjects? If you can take a year of nothing but physics (or computer science) in high school/junior high, then NZ rocks, but I'd guess they're just giving you an illusion of choice while still forcing you through the general education classes since that's all there is. Not to mention prerequisite hell plagues all hierarchical forms of education and if you don't have understanding administrators it's really hard to move ahead when "you're not supposed to."
I do, but am not at liberty to share.
The hell no. As DevX101 said, children don't understand why they need to get an education in the first place. This creates the impression that going to school is a job when it most certainly is not. There is a difference between offering an occasional prize (a toy, lunch, or event) because a kid did well, and making them believe they are entitled to get paid because of their performance in school. There's also the fact that I believe it can hinder the natural curiosity a kid may have by introducing a mitigating factor in the process of choosing his/her interests. Lastly there's the fact that some kids are - sadly - complete imbeciles. Are this kid's not going to get payed because they did badly, even though they might have even tried a whole lot harder than the other kids?

I say, let the smart kids be smart, let the dumb kids be dumb, let the in between's be regular children. Hell imagine every kid becomes a "smart" kid because of payment; can you imagine the surplus of people in comparison to employment opportunities in the "brainy" work sectors?
Back in elementary school, my math teacher gave out virtual money (in the form of xeroxed monopoly money stamped with a special seal) to students who completed homework assignments and those that did well on tests. One day out of every week, he would bring a bunch of goodies (e.g. mechanical pencils) to class and auction them off to the highest bidders with these monopoly money. The auctions were very enjoyable since it was interesting to see people outbidding each others in the process. Being much of a saver myself, I accumulated a huge sum of these monopoly money and kept all of them in one of my 3-ring binders. One day, I discovered someone stole all of them while I left my backpack unattended. After telling my teacher about it, he told everyone to open their backpacks and inspected them. However, we never found out who stole them and it sucked because after that incident, I started to distrust some of my friends. I think this system could be improved if the rewards were non-tranferrable. Perhaps someone can build a web application that lets teachers employ such technique and allows students to accumulate money in the digital form?
Apparently this reporter is capable of actually doing real research on thug life, rather than the Harvard professors who use "The Wire" as a lazy alternative to studying reality.
Do you mind summarizing a bit how you generate snippets?

We were discussing this on MetaOptimize recently (http://metaoptimize.com/qa/questions/2815/how-are-search-eng...), but I'm curious to hear about alternate approaches.
I think it does not make sense to compare USA with China. It rather see english vs chinese, because the language barrier is bigger than the national barrier for a service like Youtube. The english speaking world is much bigger than the USA alone.

Ah, fond memories. I recall a bus ride through snowed in Denver in 1984, to get a copy of the original blue box article referenced in phone phreak lore at the downtown library, just to find that these pages had long been removed from the journal copy.

Here the article I believe in question: "Pushbutton Calling with a Two-Group Voice-Frequency Code, Schenker, L.", http://bstj.bell-labs.com/oldfiles/year.1960/BSTJ.1960.3901.....

There is an older article covering dial tones (DTMF): "In-Band Single-Frequency Signaling, Weaver, A.; Newell, N.A.", found in http://bstj.bell-labs.com/oldfiles/year.1954/BSTJ.1954.3306....
Ah, that's much better. Cool!
That's rather ironic considering that the creator of Ruby is Japanese. I mean, sure, Merb was created by EY people; Sinatra was created by a bunch of folks working for Heroku; and Rails was spearheaded by a legendarily foul-mouthed Dane, but none of those "trendy" web frameworks would've been possible without Yukihiro Matsumoto.
Apps to Tackle Email Overload
exactly, reading through the article, the researcher got a lot of negative feedback (death threats) throughout the course. He wasn't ever saying we necessarily should be providing financial incentives, but he was asking if they work or not before automatically deciding against them.

it reminds me of an article I read about some organization doing scientific studies on charity. I wish I had the link handy.

There was once instance where people would charge people in 3rd world countries a nominal fee for HIV medications, thinking that the compliance in taking the medications would increase if you assigned some non-zero value to it. they did a formal study and found that it was less effective overall than just giving away the medicine.
Thanks for the feedback. We're hammering away at the platform right now and plan to have the beta ready shortly. We'll change the text to make it clear that you sign up to be notified when the beta is ready.
Bell did science for science's sake, not just for the telecom industry, and that's what was really unique about them, I think. Specifically, I remember reading an article a while back that talked about Bell Labs being the leading employer of Physicists in private industry at one time. There's not a lot of companies like that anymore, except Google (vicariously) and places like IBM's Watson Research Center.
and sometimes you just want peace and quiet to get work done. it's all about appropriate context really.

It's okay to offend people if offending people furthers your goals and strategy. Typically though, if the offense is tangential to your product and doesn't polarize people, or get one group really excited, or target your customerbase while turning off other people, then it's a bad idea.

So, "Yummy Maggots" could work for... I don't know, some sort of grossout humor site, or maybe some hybrid survival horror/dark humor game, or something like that. But it probably wouldn't be a good name for bug tracking software, because it'd turn off legitimate potential users without turning on, segmenting, or otherwise intelligently engaging other users.

It's okay to offend people. Just know why exactly you're doing it.

(I know I just gave a serious reply to a sarcastic remark, but I thought it was a good topic to riff on)
Well, the example(at least the first one) in that video is bit skewed. First, he runs gzip and then immediately runs 'parallel gzip' without dropping disk caches. So in the later case the bottleneck would be CPU rather than disk IO(everything read from disk cache in the RAM). IMO I expect for the work that is IO bound we won't see any significant improvement using parallel or anything similar.
Appreciate the suggestions, we'll change the text to make it clear you sign up to be notified once the beta is ready.

Having said that, we are working hard on the platform and expect to have a beta ready shortly, along with more details on pricing and features.
Might have been me… I was talking about Google then but it's the same thing here and it's important to remember. The customers of these companies are the advertisers:

Most of us are not Google's customers. We are the raw materials google uses to fabricate a product to sell.

I don't think that is the reality at all, unfortunately. The terms are used interchangably all the time. There's also FOSS which seems to merge them. The same seems to be happening with OS and FS as philosophies in that most? people seem to see them as the same thing.
tldr: More experiments, please!

I'm all for more experiments in this area, since we need them to combat our bad intuitions and simple conjectures, and as others have noted we especially need to find out what happens to these kids when you take away the rewards. Considering that atheists don't fall into extreme immorality after rejecting their religion, I'm willing to bet that most of the kids wouldn't just fall back into old patterns or become worse off than before, even though this doesn't make me intuitively comfortable... Again, we need experiments.

There's also some slight bitterness I feel that others around here might share. We're smart and we made it through the system without these nice monetary rewards. $95 a week? For not dressing like crap and not talking back and doing some trivial homework? $95 is a lot of money, I never got that, and when I worked 20 hour weeks at a grocery store one year my weekly paychecks were roughly $120. People should just be motivated to learn on their own without these rewards, and the whole grading system in general helps to undermine this...

As TamDenholm noted, the fact that we need to use such motivations for something as important as learning is more a symptom than solution of an underlying problem with the education system. The point in the article about how they desire to foster intrinsic motivation with extrinsic rewards made me do a double take. Yet the solution still isn't "let the students do what they want", because most will do the minimum, and then schools will cut budgets and staff, and with only "generalist" teachers you get generally shallow teachers across all subjects. I'll agree that some teachers can teach more subjects than one and many classes can benefit from a mixture that only a special generalist could adequately teach (it always bugs me when math teachers admit their ignorance on the uses of complex numbers), but we really need specialists. The college model is correct here.

Saw this on Forrst earlier today and I'm still loving it. Great to see your project is getting so much attention. It deserves it.
Cool. Have to admit I'm surprised they sought anonymity. I remember Dave Barry writing

> The yakuza are about as clandestine as the National Football League. Everybody knows who they are. Many of them get large tattoos and chop of finger joints to demonstrate loyalty or some other important gangster quality. Also they're the only people in Japan who wear double-breasted suits, white ties, and sunglasses. "Hi!" their outfits shout. "We're gangsters!"
Learn about ipcs and ipcrm. It seems few people actually use SysV IPC stuff these days, but software you use, like apache, uses it, and if you stop/kill apache wrong, it leaves semaphores around. There is both a per-user and per-system limit to how many can be created.

Related to the above, learn what possible error results are from system calls. ENOSPC, which expands to "No space left on device", is a possible errno value from calling semget. This doesn't mean "/tmp is full".

Read man pages. Use man -k.

Don't ask to have Some Random Editor(tm) installed on every system. Learn vim or emacs.

Know how to NFS mount from your OSX machine. Be familiar with setting up the autofs/automounter on OSX.

Know when and how to use the -L, -R, -g, -A, and -t ssh options.

Don't give things cute names, give them meaningful names. If it runs as a daemon, consider ending the name with a d.

If it's a daemon, give it the ability to daemonize itself. It's fragile to play weird shell tricks to make something daemonize that can't do it.

If it's a daemon, make a mode where it can run in the foreground for debugging purposes.

Know how to use strace.

Know how to use ltrace and ldd.

Set SO_REUSEADDR on listening sockets.

Use IM to ask throwaway questions.

Don't start conversations with "can I ask you question?"

Don't expect a response right away.

Read emails from me, even if they look long. Ask about things you don't understand.

If there isn't a package for something that you need, install it into your home directory first, test it, test your code with it, before you ask it to be packaged and installed.

Don't skirt the firewall.

Know how to change your hosts file as a debugging aid.

I'm not sure that these kinds of experiments on adults can be applied to kids. We need to run a separate set of experiments on kids, the motivations are too different.
Huh,

The increase in lung disease is not noticeable in the sense that you could not connect cigarettes and lung disease without scientifically studying it. In the 1920's, you'd find claims cigarettes helped the lungs.

I'm not certain about the direct shoe-body-misalignment thing. But I know physical therapists can measure habitually shortened or stretched muscles in people and this is a condition that will often cause physical problems as a person gets older even the person doesn't notice anything at the moment of measurement.

See: http://www.amazon.com/Muscles-Function-Florence-Peterson-Ken... The standard reference for physical therapists.

And do people get up votes these days on HN for taring any opponent with over-the-top New Age rhetoric?
Fixed the sorting issue. Thanks, I'll add in a column for acquirer next time I work on this.
I can't sign up from the 'try the demo' link. I tried changing my demo account, but it wouldn't let me (the existing password was blank, it complained).

After a while I figured out I needed to logout and sign up again.
Hard to judge when we can't even see a demo of the app. =(
I never said I wouldn't be.
You forgot to add:

"and not because it appears incendiary to suggest that the HN community may be changing for the worse."

That'd make for a convincing argument.
Yet another project management service? I'm amazed out how often these pop-up promising that they are the now "simplest" project management solution. Where's the differentiation? Other than the UI and a couple custom fields, these are no different than Basecamp, Producteev, GoPlan, etc. etc...

With that said, I think it looks and functions great. Very user-friendly. Would I use it? Probably not. My team seems to hate every simple project management website service. The ultimate project management service is to integrate something within the current workflow, which does not involve a separate website nor does it involve creating tasks, etc. I'm just stating the problem, but unfortunately I don't have a solution. I just find it fascinating that there are SO many project management services, but none work for our team.

The ideal solution would HAVE to have smartphone apps for major platforms, and gmail integration. Heck, it doesn't even need to have a website frontend.
It's a weird thing though ... now that I'm 35 I definitely can't bang out work until 3am like I used to 10 years ago. On the other hand, I have significantly more knowledge and better methods than I did then.

It's a bit unfair.

A lot of places use to invest heavily in research. The modern desktop came from the research lab of a printer company! These days the big researchers are probably IBM and Microsoft (SPJ, 'nuff said). Sun was also very big (they did all kinds of very interesting work, like the Self language for example) but it looks like that's over now.
Please please please, let me create an account without having to jump through silly hoops like OpenID or Twitter. Your little website just isn't compelling enough for me to do that.

I want to try it though, just to give you some feedback. Please let me create a simple login so that I can do so.
Since you're into elevated debate, I'll tell you why I responded very negatively to your original post. You said "How many husbands have killed their wives (or vice versa) in the last 9 years? We should ban marriage and investigate the religions that promote it!!". You were clearly trying to make me look bad by using heavy sarcasm to draw a parallel between the number of deaths caused by spousal murders vs the 9/11 attack. But it's a very bad comparison because murder is not a fundamental property of marriage. No one gets married in order to murder their spouse, or murders their spouse to bring glory to marriage. On the other hand, jihad terrorism is a defining property of the brand of Islam practiced by the 9/11 attackers and thousands of other people throughout the world.

Nihilism is the rejection of meaning, and if you can't see that the 9/11 attacks had meaning well beyond the death toll, both to the attackers and the victims - and I'm not talking about the reactions to the event - then you're a nihilist. It was an unprecedented military-style mass murder of civilians by organized, motivated enemies who also had their own set of beliefs. They weren't just some guys who randomly decided to fly two aircraft into downtown Manhattan. It wasn't a human mistake. And it wasn't an earthquake that killed a lot of people.

Why is this getting downvoted? It's honest criticism, with actionable things the site owners can do to make their thing better. Just because it's negative doesn't mean it's uncalled for.
Yup we will be expanding the site soon. We built the site in 48 hours for the Rails Rumble competition. We kept it light as we could. After the judging and voting we will be adding in more features and options for login :)

Although we think using Twitter or OAuth is the easiest way. 1 Auth and your email address, thats it.

Thanks for your feedback.
We are back online and ready to take your search queries. But dont all geocode at once ;)
Interesting blog post regarding this:
http://blogs.sciencemag.org/sciencecareers/2009/08/we-miss-y...

Slight Tangent:
Before I got my BS in Applied Physics, I did a lot of research in experimental astroparticle physics. I learned a lot of interdisciplinary stuff, and I thought those combinations would easily land me at least a ~40k job doing something (programming, electronics stuff, whatever). Turned out I was wrong, and I couldn't find a job anywhere in my hometown (even though I could run circles around any of the new CS grads in most languages) I learned a hard lesson that I thought would haunt me for the next decade: People don't want to hire scientists, they only want engineers. I got a shitty $15/hr part time job as a test tech, got sick of that and then realized I couldn't get into grad school for financial reasons. I had a bit of money so I applied only to physics jobs at high profile schools or labs across the country (partially motivated by this site, actually). Within a week I got an email back from Stanford (SLAC) to do an interview for a developer. It turned out that I had all the right kinds of experience, and I just started last Thursday at what can only be described as the perfect job for me right now.

I think most companies these days just overlook the value of research, basic science, and scientists in favor of marketing, products, and engineers. The risk that research doesn't lead to a marketable product is too high for almost every company, and that's a shame.

How could implementing OpenID and OAuth for Twitter be faster to implement than a User table? Certainly you've built web apps before, and therefore have a login workflow that you can rip out and drop into a new site in the first 5 minutes of development?

One other thing you're missing is that as a new user of your thing, I don't trust you enough to hand across my twitter username or openID. I'm more than happy to create a throwaway account with you, but you're certainly not going to get any information that links my profile with you with my profiles elsewhere.

In short, you're losing a significant fraction of your potential userbase. Right now, since this is the moment when you've got more exposure than you'll ever have again. Spend 20 minutes getting a user/pass thing implemented right now, before the sun comes up in the US, and you'll quadruple your first-day signups.
The Worm and the Wiretap: Dangers of crypto backdoors
Subsidies are highly relevant to startups.

When companies break up, the employees, assets, and consumers are freed to be used again. If that doesn't happen, the company's operations continue to serve the existing demand and tie up resources, but there are no productivity gains, or possibly even diminishing ones. A zombie company is a company that should be destroyed by disruptive innovators.

This is the situation in recorded music right now. The major labels have consistently succeeded in winning strong copyright protection, so instead of collapsing, they are now seeing their position eroded by the innovators at a very, very slow rate; if it were not for the government's protection enabling the "copyright mafia" scenario, this situation wouldn't have happened and we would not have an unending trainwreck of music startups that try to reinvent the distribution process, but end up getting destroyed with fees or legal battles. The situation is so bad that it hinders even the companies that try to eschew all major label music(e.g. Jamendo), because the existing trade groups get in the way of non-traditional licensing schemes.
Catching criminals is too difficult with civil liberties.
The best project management website (Basecamp?)
I'm overwhelmed by the number of project management services that are popping up. Mostly because I don't understand why. I think dev shops must have very custom preferences and can't accept a 3rd party project management service, so they develop their own. This explains the extensive PM service proliferation.

Basecamp, GoPlan, Producteev, Cohuman, 5pm, liquidplanner...

It seems like every service doesn't quite offer enough features for some people in some areas, but others that do offer all features become "overkill" or "bloated". So does each PM service permutation take a slightly different approach, having one "feature" that a sub-market needs, without being overkill?

What do people think of a "build your own" PM service. You select what you need in your app at signup, so you don't have "overkill" software, only what you need (including that deal-breaker feature).
