Honestly. Your best bet would be to get a designer to design it for you, rather than use something that reeks of a template.

Best way I've found when working with designers, is to sketch exactly what you think it should look like. Include colors or themes (from pictures if you can) and then draw some sort of 'mascot', like a cuddly animal, or a lightbulb. This gives the designer most bits of the puzzle, which in turn allows them to (more easily) design you a unique website.

This wiki page seems a little clearer, though anything prefaced with "My Understanding" might be a little suspect.

https://github.com/quartzjer/TeleHash/wiki/My-Understanding-...

So my understanding of that is that TeleHash is something of a cross between BitTorrent and Tor. Theoretically it allows for a totally distributed Internet. Though it looks like the implementation is rough, so it's hard to say how well-defined the protocol is.
I wonder what the bottleneck is? Is it Cassandra?
This is why I'm an advocate of accepting/rejecting scientific papers based solely on methodology, with referees being given no information about the conclusions and with authors being forbidden from post-hoc tweaks.

A million times yes. Also: no publication without the experiment's methodology and criteria for success having been registered prior to the experiment's commencement.
Jeremie Miller is the guy behind XMPP, so this is coming from somebody who really knows what he's doing when it comes to protocols.

This type of thing would be cool as a federation mechanism for something like Google Wave or Diaspora. I think it could also be used as an alternative to XMPP itself...
Those look to be RGB as well. So that is 4 connections per LED (red, green, blue, ground).
GS has sustained its business over 140 years, consistently making a lot of money. (Also we recently found they are now, in effect, insured by the US government in a way FB can only dream of)
Telehash is being proposed and bootstrapped by Jeremie Miller the guy who originally did XMPP. I think it has some good potential to allow better decentralized communication between things like mobile devices, etc.
My guess would be that it doesn't. A public DHT can ensure that data is not corrupted or changed, but you cannot prevent others from seeing your data.
i agree with the general idea of the article, but I actually got some of those exact Business Insider questions during my interviews with Google. obviously, some of them are probably fake (like the manhole one), but there are couple that definitely real.

edit: typo
Do you ACTUALLY use FB?

Yes. It probably helps that my family, and my wife's family, are all several thousand miles away and we just had our first child. We spend a lot of time on both FB and Skype, keeping everyone up to date.

Quick question,

The link says,

>We think the best way for you to learn about software engineering is to actually do it

Does this mean that I can apply for an internship without any coding experience?

Because I'd love this.
"TeleHash is the culmination of years of discussions with many people, and is being primarily bootstrapped by Jeremie Miller."

This is the same Jeremie Miller who invented the Jabber (XMPP) protocol.
Much like laundry detergent, they're getting more concentrated.

> Let's just say for argument's sake that it is early stage investors who are selling. Why would they sell? Because they're in need of cash to invest somewhere else? The way the social network is talked about these days, it's the best investment opportunity in town. So why would anyone want to forsake it?

What a silly argument.

Diversification. Duh.

Even if you've got a hold of what you're certain is the biggest, bestest, most badass-est investment ever that's already gone up 20x, you'd do well to cash out a bit of it and spread that around. On the off chance something crazy happens, you're not up the creek.

I mean, that's not exactly revolutionary right? Diversify? If I owned Facebook equity now, I'd really happily cash some of it in and invest in something as uncorrelated to FB as I possibly could. Like, real estate in Bulgaria or something.
Thanks for the reference. I was on my phone, thought it was known well enough and so I didn't give more details. Will try to give more details next time.
Ask HN: Why is -2^2 = -4 instead of 4?
I'm puzzled. I'm wondering why if I type in wolfram alpha -2^2 I get -4 instead of 4. Same on google or anywhere else.

I get confused because in a book that I'm studying the author uses -2^2 to indicate 4, which looks correct to me. So who's correct? I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here.

Edit:

My girlfriend (which is not a programmer), says that perhaps the computer is giving precedence to the exponentiation, and then adding the -. So it would be -(2^2).

Edit2:

Thanks for all the answers. It's clear to me now.
I'd do it, how much is the pay?
The amount of soldering for RGB LED's is absolutely insane.
so why FB and not Twitter, for example? Is it the simplicity of having your photo album and messaging under the same platform?
Thanks. That was very helpful. I will try and follow the course. I have read parts of the wizard book, and I must say I have liked what little I have read.

I disagree with this but it is giving me pause for thought. It sounds like you're lying to them about what is acceptable behaviour?

No lying at all. You're just taking a concrete rule and setting soft and hard boundaries. Expect testing of the soft boundaries. But set them so that hard boundaries aren't reached.

For instance you have a set of stairs and an exploratory 3 year old. Successfully getting on to area around the top of the stairs gets the kid told to come back. If the kid doesn't come back right away, the kid gets picked up and carried away. If the kid tries to go to the stairs, the kid gets a time-out.

With these rules, you can expect to see exploration of how far over the line the toe can go before being told to come back. Expect fetching to become a game. But your kid won't actually go down the stairs. (Of course in this simple case a gate makes more sense.)

>Just training kids with operant conditioning is not sufficient to be a decent parent.

I assume you mean parent in the limited sense of social educator else this is something of a truism; could you expand on this?

I'm going to suggest the book Parenting From The Inside-Out for an exploration of the ways in which our interactions with our children shape their ability to integrate their emotional and logical responses of the world into a useful, coherent, whole.

Its the bodmas rule. Wolfram is interpreting -2^2 to mean -(2^2). I am sure if you write (-2)^2 in wolfram, it will give you 4.

No, it's not. It's a trivia question. Nobody uses such techniques any more because looking at raw memory dumps is not the right way to debug these days.
Why couldn't this be done over TCP instead of UDP?
It's a pretty clever idea, I've come across loads of sites that have a naked domain but no www.

As clever as it is though, it serves no real world purpose, anyone clever enough to setup up their own domain will be able to set up a www subdomain, be it dns level or using a 301 redirect.
I agree with you, but I can see how some might strenuously object - XMPP is not universally loved.

(Luckily Telehash uses JSON)
I have not red the original article so maybe I am mistaken, but the post submitted here seems to suggest that there was one group only not two groups. There was one group and they retyped only half or so of the words and not the other half and were found to remember the retyped words better.

I do not know if that makes a difference, but I think it might and could. The retyped words might have whatever quality or for whatever reason might have been easier to rememmber than the non retyped words.

Unless in the original article it suggests that the experiement was carried out in the way you suggest, I do not think there was much control of variables.
>(First clue: there are different words with different definitions and connotations involved).

Haha, condescending ever.

The connotations are different, that's the slant someone is trying to put on whether their discrimination is good or bad. We change how we act towards one person such that they benefit relative to another's detriment. Whether it be preferential treatment by omission of detriment or preferential treatment by application of benefit if the treatment alters according to the characteristics of the subject then we have discriminated.

discrimination - "treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit" (Random House Dictionary)

preference - "a practical advantage given to one over others" (ibid)

>As for why it is not like the gender question: asking why a 37yo is doing entry level work is asking about things which it can reasonably assumed to be direct consequences of the applicants choices in life. Preselecting on gender is selection based on something the applicant has almost no control over (excluding the extremely tiny portion of post-op transgenders).

The question doesn't bother me. I don't think your assumption stands to much inspection - I'm sure you can imagine many scenarios that would leave someone in an "entry level" position against their will. Why does it matter how old the person is, can they do the job, will they do the job? One can change one's age no more easily than one can change one's sex.

>Any attempt to claim an all or nothing approach on a vague notion such as discrimination is nearly the definition of disingenuous, so please don't try and play stupid games with that either.

I love these sorts of closing statements, they must be the thinking man's ad hominem "anything that disagrees with my stated position would be idiocy", that's almost the definition of tiny-minded simpleton. </sarc>

I think it's not so much the fact you're new as the extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof suspicion. And making a consistent $300 per day on a $25 Adwords budget for an apparently trivially simple site off a domain registered in mid-November is extraordinary, especially when through filtering or otherwise it isn't showing much advertising at all to us US/UK viewers. If it's down to attention to detail and an ability to spot and gauge overseas advertising niches that others haven't then more power to you (and Zynga should hire you tomorrow). I certainly think there's a useful reminder that people outside the US click on Adwords there for us.

As for suggestions, you might want to find some better advertising for your non-key markets. Currently all Adwords shows me are Google's house ads...

Ask HN: How can I learn enough coding to run simple online sites?
I'm really interested in learning to code little sites, apps, creating small simple stuff that may generate small amounts of money.

I have a lot of time on my hands, I always see really great and simple sites that generate small amounts of income. I'd be more than happy with this but I have no idea on where to start with the coding.<p>How much experience do I need?

At first I didn't see the point of this but I suppose it makes it easier than messing with firewall rules on your router and pointing a domain at it.

Does it still work with a dynamic IP?
I may be wrong here, but I think there's one good reason to use anything.example.com instead of example.com: with the naked domain, you can't have a separate domain for static assets which the client doesn't send the cookie to (for performance improvement). If you set a cookie with the domain example.com, it will still get sent to static.example.com.

Granted, you could use examplecdn.com or something, but then you have to register and manage more domains.
If the candidate is bragging about the time he saved the day with raw memory debugging, I'd start with this question to confirm.
It seems pretty impossible. Unless you're using a horribly flawed PRNG, patterns in the data should require analysis much deeper than human intuition could manage. This analysis would also probably require much more information than you would get from this experiment.
Rich has said many times that he will not do this. Clojure/core might, but rich does not want clojure to be influenced by the highest bidder, essentially the same as the donations i'm guessing. Rich is an advisor to clojure/core, but his purpose is to further clojure and community interest only. Of course this is my understanding of the matter, i don't speak for him.

I don't get it -- is that the purchase price of the bloom box (per watt) or the cost per-watt to generated on an ongoing basis? If it's just the purchase price, then it doesn't make sense to talk about that without amortizing over say 10 years of usage....
Integration of photos, videos and messaging is definitely useful, as is the fact that all of our relatives have actually heard of facebook as opposed to twitter ;)

I guess the other consideration is that facebook at least has some semblance of privacy, which is reassuring when posting photos and videos of someone too young to consent (or talk, for that matter).
>The OpenJDK CA process was put in place a long time ago by Sun, generally well-liked in open source circles last I knew.

Sun was never well liked outside of the Jave gated community. They - and their CA process - were used several times as examples in articles and presentations on 'how not to do open source' (eg. http://lwn.net/Articles/370157/ - 'How to destroy your community').

>And I guess you've got the same problems with all of Apache, for example (which, BTW, requires a signed copy of their CA to be faxed, at a minimum -- and I suppose some would complain about the faxing).

No, they accept e-mailing. See http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt. I am indeed opposed to their CA requirement, but in this case it appears to be simply misguided rather than an attempt at creating a barrier.

>IANAL, neither are you, and we weren't in the room when Rich talked to his. Even if those things weren't true, I'm pretty sure Rich (nor anyone else) would accede to derision by instead of nonspecific, unconstructive griping.

I object very strongly to your dismissal of my position as 'nonspecific, unconstructive griping'. I'll try to restate it as plainly as possible:

No other example has been found of a project with this requirement. Given that there are a large number of both companies and non-profit organisations requiring CAs, none of which require a postal copy, it cannot be rationally argued that this is a legal requirement unless you are also willing to argue that all of those other companies are failing to show due diligence; I don't believe that argument would have any merit. Since Clojure has that requirement, the most plausible reason is that it is an attempt to erect as large a barrier as possible to participation (and the only other reason I can think up is that Rich Hickey is a paranoid of the tinfoil hat variety, but I've seen no other evidence of that). I cannot overstate enough how large a barrier this is; even those corporate OSS projects widely condemned for their failure at understanding the open source ideal (I've already mentioned Android; another example might be OpenOffice, most of whose developers recently decided enough was enough and jumped ship) don't make it this hard. The deliberate attempt to discourage community involvement is what I believe runs counter to the spirit of open source.
Great story Suhail -- a strong testament to not only why internships are critical in career exploration (something left out of much of the college experience) but also as to why startups in particular offer such fantastic opportunities for interns to grow.

From direct access to founders, CEO's, and advisers to being part of creating products that go live to working long hours in the trenches which creates a glue between interns and co-workers -- these experiences make startups an invaluable place to get early experience as a student.

Looking at mixpanel's internship opportunity it looks like it will be just as standout -- thanks for sharing what a great internship program can offer.

I'd like to post this story up on the InternMatch blog with your approval. We can also put the position up for free on the site. Feel free to shoot me an email for a promo code nathan@internmatch.com.

Contrasting the two papers, Bem's paper sticks very closely to the standard form and 'rules of engagement' (if you will) of published academic research.

That's kind of the problem: published academic research is broken in a lot of ways. If you haven't read it yet, the New Yorker's recent article on the decline effect touches on several of the reasons why: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/12/13/101213fa_fact_... And some prominent medical journals started fighting against publication bias a few years ago: http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/09/09/1094530773888.html

I think you're holding this response to a much higher burden of proof than it needs to meet to be a proper refutation of Bem's claims. You're right that the response doesn't appear to use the "proper scientific method". But that's because it doesn't use it at all, and it doesn't need to. There's no hypothesis to test and no experiment to run in order to point out flaws in a paper that does claim to be the result of the scientific method.
I don't think the keyset will be in ram: "Redis will never use more RAM, even if we have 2 MB of max memory and 1 billion of keys. This works since now we don't need to take keys in memory."

I haven't looked at the current code to see if there is a way to favor keeping the keys in memory, but it would seem that wildcard searches here can/will be disk-bound.
