That is the problem with DMOZ. I don't know if it still works or not, but there used to be a way around the lengthy delays by creating an editor account with DMOZ in the category you are trying to get your site in. Once you as an individual are an editor you can approve your listing yourself for inclusion. I haven't played around with DMOZ in a long time so I don't know if this hack still works or not.

It used to be that Google gave juice to sites listed in DMOZ, but I am not really sure how much play that has any more. I would really focus on other avenues if that is why you are trying. I don't think DMOZ use is that significant that it will impact your rankings or site visits overall.

Interesting definition of a zero-day exploit.
An example of education system decline, since apparently at least one person doesn't believe me:

In the state where one of my teacher friends works, the statewide high school math curriculum currently consists of Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-calculus, and Calculus AB or BC. Advanced students can take Algebra as early as 7th grade, while struggling students take it as late as 10th grade. Soon, Algebra through Pre-calculus will be replaced with Math 1, Math 2, and Math 3, with Math 1 being mandatory for all 9th graders, Math 2 for 10th graders, and Math 3 for 11th graders. There are "honors" versions of each class available that differ little from the corresponding non-honors class.

This change, as it was explained to me, hurts both gifted students and struggling students. The gifted students are held back by as much as 3 years from where they could be in math, while struggling students are advanced regardless of competence.
As far as articles go, I'm not impressed with this one. Although I'd be willing to admit that my interest in all things Wikileaks is seriously waning.

That said, there was little to no information about the actual data center, other than a link to a Forbes article about the first time Wikileaks moved there. They even embedded the same video from that original article.

Throw in an offhand and speculative comment about Amazon bowing "to political pressure" and a few Flickr pictures and presto! I almost felt like I was reading another one of Shaun Gallagher's "I wrote this article with one mouse click" experiments.
Here's another article on it from the Christian Science Monitor detailing the loans:

Of course, if housing prices return to levels reflecting their actual rental value, a lot of this won't be paid back. Its anyone's guess, really, because the situation is so complex and intentionally obscured.

This whole mess is a colossal indictment of the Fed and its easy money policies. No wonder they resisted admitting it.
It's far less visible to normal, ordinary people, who they need to reach. The success of WikiLeaks depends in part on being highly visible and accessible by anyone and everyone- ironically, much the same as terrorism. (Not that I believe they are a terrorist organization, but they definitely function kind of like one, at least superficially)

I imagine the day somebody figures out how to make a HTTP-compatible P2P network that allows you to browse web pages hosted on bittorrent will be the day WikiLeaks moves to P2P.
I still find it more comfortable to sit with my mobile devices and reading glasses than with extreme font sizes. Even my desktop computer now I prefer reading glasses.. and even more so as the device shrinks.

You forgot to start your comment with the obligatory IANAL. I'm not a lawyer as well, but it's easy to imagine a situation in which the contents of the license really matters. Not because anybody would read that, but because this is something that is legally binding. Hopefully it won't be necessary to enforce the license, but "prepare for the worst, expect the best".
You're right. Fuller says that etherealization was a name suggested by someone else, but that he preferred to stick with ephemeralization. I fixed the essay. Thanks!
> Which function on assoc lists is O(log n)?

acons is O(1), and the O() notation is for upper bounds, so anything O(1) is also O(lg n).
The OEN is one thing but the Portland tech scene shouldn't be characterized by such an organization with what might be called "outdated" policies.

My feelings are that Portland has talent and what it needs is seed funding and mentoring. Something like an incubator... I believe that this imbalance is the "problem" with Portland.
If I got a file in this format from someone, I think I would download the software, take screenshots of the document pages, and print them off.

A few years ago (when Steve was still @ amazon), ocaml was one of his favorite language, and AFAIK, ocaml and haskell are the two most proeminent languages with a powerful type system. I think it is fair to say he has at least some vague idea of what he is talking about, even though it seems that in the recent years he was more enclined to go the dynamic typing route (again, only judging from his blog)
I like the look of it. I may have to try it and the extension out.
Right, I definitely feel bad to have forgotten Aspinwall, if ever I knew where it was. Yet I doubt that anyone worth reading has used the word "fane" since about Alfred Lord Tennyson--I won't feign shame for missing that one.

I bet a fair number of HN readers (the Americans anyway), could pass Grammar, History, and Geography. So remind me what critical thinking Orthography feeds.
Tell HN: My job struggle
I can code. In a world of pre-maddona engineers I still count on my fingers. If I cube the largest number that's on the high side of your monthly page views, but I still want to work for you. Sometimes during the interview it's hard to explain why, to put yourself fully out there.

In some words, I feel like an interview refugee. The recruiters who are your friends until you are cut. After that even a friendly e-mail won't receive a reply. I have had interviews only to be told at the end that a paid internship is no longer being offered. I'm not sure if that's a lie, half truth, or just poor planning. I have had interviews that were interrupted by phone calls to the founders "other" business no less than five times. I have spent time on an assigned functional product to get garbage feedback and an interviewer who when I followed up hadn't even read my documentation. I had two interviews, sent in code samples, and completed a code test and asked if I was open to a trial period or apprenticeship of sorts. A week later that opportunity was nixed because they thought about it and said I don't have enough experience. False hope.

I had some great feedback from some companies. One setup a chat on the phone and said I would need to live in California and then perhaps something could happen in the near future. I had another company who wasn't looking for junior engineers but liked my style and the e-mail I wrote. There are nice people out there. Those people usually know what they want.

But I can code...

Not only can I code, but I'm a genuinely good person. I spent a year overseas teaching English to children in Korea. On a trip to the DMZ I met a young Argentinean who lives in Germany and works for company in Palo Alto. He said if you can code, you can get a job. I have an IT internship on my resume now so I thought that I could at least get another django internship.

I can code.

I'm not cynical, just feeling a bit worn from this experience. Part of it is my fault, that much I would admit. I decided to take a different path in college and graduated with an Anthropology degree. I couldn't handle the math portion of a computer science degree and didn't want to go to a technical school. So now I'm thinking about applying to a university for computer science. Of course this brings a whole new set of challenges and being a student changes a lot of things.

Just some soul searching, hope you don't mind. Throwaway account.
Can anyone with more technical knowledge comment on this facility's connectivity to the internet, and how damage-resistant that is? If someone were to forcibly take Wikileaks offline, I would think internet connectivity would be the easiest attack vector, especially if they're located in a remote bunker which probably limits their options.

My mobile device progression has basically gone like this:
Palm OS -> Maemo -> iOS -> Android

I could do more on Maemo and even Palm OS than I could ever do on iOS and Android. There were features everywhere... The Sony CLIE series of Palms had multi-tasking abilities, great MP3 players, better organizer features, and more powerful apps on average than it felt like my iPod Touch did. Maemo had features everywhere... I could video chat before Facetime was every dreamt up, I had full featured applications (Abiword with a foldable and pocketable keyboard is missed), and web browsers came out that were fantastic (I could use full Facebook, Google Reader, and such in the Tear browser just as well as on my desktop). And the cool interaction features existed too.. on Palm OS I had a universal remote control. On Maemo I could use a Bluetooth'd Wii Classic controller to play Mario in a NES emulator. Features were everywhere.

But why did I switch to iOS and later Android?

They just weren't fit for a touch interface. Using dedicated apps like the iOS model fits much better for ease of use with a touch interface. When I got the iPod, I switched from using full-featured versions of websites to settling for a reduced web experience that was more information-based.. and having to make notes of what to look at later on the computer. It separated bringing the computer experience with me to making a new mobile experience. When I have a computer nearby, it's not so bad. It does make for a nicer experience.

Android feels a lot like iOS... almost like a slightly more functional and open copy of it. It's no where near where Maemo was. Still, it's enjoyable as a mobile experience, instead of just transplanting everything I could do on a desktop to a mobile-sized device.

That said, I still miss Palm OS. I almost went for a used Palm OS phone instead of an Android phone, but I decided I wanted something built for the Internet.
You can start making money with less than a good product. And needing no customer feedback, because you have long runway, may actually not be the best external stimulus to choose.

(Take this opinion with a grain of salt, I haven't done my own startup, yet.)
Well, good luck.

Do not necessarily do one project at a time though. Keep a list of things you want to work on. Whenever you find yourself needing to take a break from the main project, chip away at one of the secondary projects.

You might be surprised to find the idea you deem least important actually giving you the biggest payoff.

As a member of an indie rock band, I can say that it is nice to see the majority of our album sales going directly into our pockets. I can't imagine making pennies on an album sale, though, the band completely funded the recording studio time and production costs of both vinyl and CD, so we are entitled to make more profit off of album sales.

But, our problem isn't making the highest profit from selling our music. The biggest problem is how to grow our fan base and effectively reach out to new listeners who would be interested in our sound, but haven't discovered us.

I feel like the "old music industry" had a way of solving the 2nd problem as it seems to be analogous to winning a popularity contest and straight up brain-washing young children into liking something by making it look or sound cool.

Anyone can create music and get it into the iTunes store these days. The margins are great, but you still need tons of people to like and buy your music to actually make a living out of it.
There is such a thing as over-engineering. In fact a real engineer, as discussed here recently, knows when simple, proven, low-tech solutions are the way to go. Keys aren't going away anytime soon.

what can happen is nothing. prosecutors can drop a case whenever they want and they can't be sued for having brought it in the first place. they wouldn't even need, nor would they probably want, to say "our bad."

As for the recordings, the judge only cares about what the prosecutor brings to him. if there was no finding of fact about it then it just flys on by as one of the myriad aspects of the case left unproven.
Let the [work] begin.

FTFY I hope you're prepared to work at least five times harder than you did at your safe job, and for little to no guaranteed reward. Actually, if you're only giving yourself six months, make that ten times harder. I would say good luck, but considering around 90% of startups fail, work hard, be persistent and expect difficulty, seems more helpful to say. The success stories appearing on HN can give a skewed impression on how hard it is to succeed. Congratulations, though, for bucking a potential path of regrets.

Edit: A bit more advice is release early, and often. The trick is finding the balance between minimum viability and having enough value for traction. Iterating on an idea is almost always necessary, so be on the lookout for how that can help and possibly even save your endeavor. A six month deadline to succeed means you're really going to be up against it.
Neither of those strike applications make much sense for this platform. If you were going to put bombs in space you're only wasting payload capacity by including a ship.
This type of thing frequently annoys me:

Larry Ellison: "There, he held odd jobs for eight years before founding a software development company in 1977"

If he started with nothing, holding odd jobs, no savings, etc. how did he found a company?

These "start from nothing" tales are like graphs: when the scale on the Y-axis is sufficiently large you lose all detail at the bottom end of the scale - the all important details that happen very early in someone's "career" that make all the difference in the long run.

The minor things like having your parents pay for you to go to college (if you live in a country that doesn't supply you with free education) or finding an angel investor or getting a scholarship to attend the right school etc. are all to do with being fortunate - and all of them classify, in my opinion, as "starting with something".

Whilst it's true that generational inheritance is not the only way to become successful and every single one of these people have worked very hard to achieve their well deserved success, there are people who have truly nothing and despite being as ready and willing to work and as bright and dilligent as the next person, just happen to never be in the right place at the right time.

And yet we re-tell these glorious stories of the tiny tiny fraction of people that enjoy stellar rags to riches stories and it reinforces the greatest lie in capitalism: that if you're poor, it's your own fault.

Poverty is very much a social problem and needs to be dealt with on a social scale - not by taunting the poor by saying "Look!? They did it, what's wrong with you? Why can't you do it?"

Ask HN: Apartment in SF w/o a Job
My cofounder and I (YC W11 rejects) are moving to San Francisco in January to work full time on our start-up. We're leaving our jobs with enough savings to reasonably get by for a year.

Does anyone hav advice regarding finding an apartment without an income? Will having enough cash reserves to pay for 6 months up front be enough? Or will we have to find a guarantor? Or ... would it make sense to show our most recent pay stubs implying that we still have jobs, comfortable in the knowledge that we can afford to pay anyway?

I'm assuming this must be a pretty common situation in silicon valley, so there are probably precedents set...
Not necessarily a problem... http://www.fluentin3months.com/
I fail to see any way Wikileaks could be considered "bad for the people." It might be "bad" for secretive figures such as politicians and corporations, but I can't imagine how these leaks could have a negative effect on the general public.
Those SAR sats are the size of a bus.
I left a similar comment on Reddit about another topic, but doesn't Apple's contributions to open source make them vastly less evil than Microsoft?

Just look at webkit and how Apple's competitors build (are in the process of building) their entire foundations on top of that tech and Apple still contributes.

Even better, they should encrypt with a method that is reasonably, large-scale crackable around the window of their planned release. That would bring a lot of attention to cryptography (and the vulnerability of the same) as every media organization rents out massive AWS GPU clusters to try to crack it. That would be pretty entertaining.

And if something happened to them...well it's going to be discovered anyways.
Sounds like your mind is already made up. I'm not here to convince you or anyone else to go. Just sharing that I had a more positive take on the day.
I don't get those notions. My point is that it seems to be that Steve got those notions.
Amazon didn't bow to political pressure. It made a business decision to protect its other clients from interruption of services that constant, government-level DDOS'ing would cause.

If you're using it for code (the way Lisp uses linked lists) you know when one function ends and a nested one begins.

I'd like to point out, however, that this is in theory, as I haven't seen this data structure doing anything other than moving data around.
I can speak from experience when I say that Austin's entrepreneurial community is welcoming, supportive, and full of very sharp folks. You should definitely check out the Lean Startup group (http://www.meetup.com/Austin-Lean-Startup-Circle/). Our next meetup is a joint holiday mixer with a lot of other Austin groups (like Austin on Rails), and it promises to be a great way to meet a ton of folks.

Also, I'm not sure if you're looking for a workspace with a lot of people in the same position, but we've really benefited from participation in the Austin Technology Incubator.

Edit: why do I say folks so much?
I completely agree with this. 6 months is definitely not enough runway to iterate a few times and find a winning combination. I've seen too many people fail because of the lack of runway.

I suggest that you do a few consulting gigs on the side to keep you afloat...

Congrats on your big move!
