What most people do not get is: We all (as in every single one of us) have something to hide. I'd say those, who really think they do not, are just crazy.

Credit card numbers, medical conditions, who we have sex with, who we want to have sex with, who we do not want to have sex with, even whether we want to have sex at all etc. pp. We usually do not urinate or masturbate in front of others because we all have something to hide.

If you consider this it's easy to get his sarcasm.

Think of all the good that could be done for the open source world if this led every company to expect open source contributions from their new hires.

Careers 2.0 probably isn't popular enough to change the world that significantly but it does make me want to hunt down someone for a profile invite (though I guess I should save those for people who are actively looking for jobs)

P.S. Careers 2.0 is hosted by Stackoverflow which means hosted on a .Net platform...just sayin'
I strongly agree.

And while it would have been nice to update the standard prior to this change, in practice that would ensure that the change didn't happen for a long time, if ever. By having most of the major distros in on this we can be assured a quick adoption of the fix and hopefully a an update to the FHS.

Keeping in line with standards and specifications is extremely important to prevent fragmentation of the Linux ecosystem, but allowing those same documents to hold back [legitimate] progress is nothing more than foolish.
This is an interesting approach but not all talented developers partake in open source projects.

Most likely a client discovered what appeared to be a keylogger and brought it to NetSec for investigation. Part of that process would have likely been to purchase a new Samsung laptop as part of a simulation to figure out how the keylogger may have been installed. Finding it on a fresh purchase must have been quite surprising!
certain exchanges are starting to standardize access to colocation(for example: http://www.cmegroup.com/globex/trading-cme-group-products/co...), but there is nothing that is exchange-agnostic that I know of.
Maybe I should have been more clear, but at the moment I don't know where that could be. I am personally close with the VCs in the area around Louisville, but I could also see the need to head to the coasts, which California I am partial to. So I need someone that would be open to that once the platform is up and running and we are looking to scale it further.

Don't do that, specifying the platform when you are not technical is the death kneel, when trying to find someone. Looking for a technical co-founder it is generally assumed that you are not strong technically so let them tell you what you will be using.

The oddest thing to me is having it on the search results page.

Ask HN: Why does PHP "suck"?
Let me be clear: I'm not a PHP hacker, I don't use it and probably won't have an immediate need for it. However it's been my perception that many people have a strong opinion about PHP. I'm wondering what specific technical reasons there are for this?

(Please excuse me if this isn't the right method for asking these kinds of questions.)

Edit: I don't actually have an opinion, in other words I don't think it "sucks", but I'm hoping that some of you might be able to address that "PHP sucks!" line I read so often.
Is it appropriate to cold-email people from your endorsement list? Just curious so we don't do anything faux pas.

I use Paychex to process my payroll and they offer a health insurance service which connected me with Blue Cross Blue Shield, this has worked out perfectly for us.
I always find the emphasis put on algorithms 99.9% of developers will probably never have to implement after the interview totally astonishing.
I really surprised at Google by this implementation--it seems like they didn't really think it through.

When I'm searching for something, my behavior is usually:

Google search term
Open the top couple results in a new tab
Check each tab, to see if they contain the information I was looking for
If tab is not useful, or more information is required, check next tab.
If information is satisfied, close window (all tabs, including search)
If no tabs remain, and still need more information, return to search page and check next results.

That process has been in place since I upgraded to firefox from ie6 all those years ago. Before then, my search process consisted of:

Google search term
Check first result link
If information has been satisfied, close window.
If more information is needed, go BACK, check next link.

My point is, Google search is a launching platform. I typically only go back to the results page when the result didn't provide the information I was looking for. In order to use the feature, I'd have to alter my process to include a return trip to the results page, find the link that led to the page I found interesting and then +1 it. No way this is gonna happen. Ever.

The only way I see this feature being implemented in a workable solution is as a browser addon--so that when I'm on a page that I find particularly awesome [whether I found it via search results or by following some page link] I can click on the +1 toolbar button.

Such an implementation would I think would also enhance the result set of affected links. In it's current implementation I'll only find plus one's when I just happen to be searching for the same or similar thing as some one from my social circle. Where as as a browser extension I'll find plus ones for any page that any one in my social circle has visited and found interesting regardless of if they ever issued a query for that subject matter.

Ask HN: Depression,  Loss of Motivation, Feeling Lost. Please Help 
I am a college student. I I have been feeling paralyzed and am not able to do anything at all for the past couple of weeks/months. I dug up some old posts from HN to read stuff to find helpful information. Most of the relevant advice pertained to

- change your diet / cut out sugar / healthy stuff

- exercise / releases endorphins / makes you feel better

- go to a doctor / shrink / and talk stuff out.

- get enough sleep

I have made changes to my diet, sleeping more regularly, and exercising every once in a while, on the whole I am a healthy individual. I do also want to add that though I don't think I am burned out, because I have hardly put any effort into anything that I have been doing/done. I was a top 1percentile student in high school, and had a pretty good social life, though I did put in more time to studying stuff then. I am smart enough to get through classes and stuff with little effort at college, but I don't know what the deal with me is. I am unable to concentrate, I can't seem to find motivation to do work, I literally stare the screen for longer than 30 minutes and do nothing. I am in my third year, and well now I have no connection with my peers anymore because they seem to engaged in the partying / drinking phase of life, and though I did have that phase, I can't stand that anymore. I would like to say that I have matured more than my peers, but I am not sure that is entirely true, because if it were, I would have more stuff figured out. I have been holed up by my self pretty much, and well I don't seem to understand what is wrong with me / what i need to do to fix this ? is this just a phase of life ? please help me out, i really don't know what i am asking for, but if you know something that you think could help me, or any personal experiences in the same realm, please let me know. thanks.
First time I heard of anyone having an electron microscope outside of a lab was DirecTV hacking about 6 years ago. While this is amazing, the examples of amateur scientists being able to compete with the complex nature of modern science would make Ben Franklin I think rather upset. That being said, amateurs are doing amazing things in the fields of radio, astronomy, and perhaps as always math.
My understanding is that Google was specifically looking for smaller communities to try out its fiber service first (unwitting beta testers @ Standford U. notwithstanding). A larger urban area like KC, MO may have been considered unappealing because its population density meant more competition with incumbent providers. KC, KS is smaller, but it adjoins the larger urban core, where Google could expand when it's ready.

Google actually played around with a voting feature awhile back. When you searched for a term, there was an up arrow on the results, so it moved those results to the top every time you searched for those terms. This was incredible useful for me, because for example I was too lazy to bookmark api documentation and just search for example rails api, and the links I voted up were automatically at the top. If this works like this I will be happy, the social aspect I don't care for, but can see how it will be relevant if enough people are voting for good content.. thats associated with specific search terms.
Again, I wonder what technology areas. Having looked, off and on, for C++ contract positions, I never see anything that high, in the SF area or elsewhere. Of course, my typical search involves Dice and Craigslist. Perhaps there's a better method of finding lucrative contracts.

this is a testament to safety measures in aviation, not to some inherent safety of air travel.

inherently, 99.9% of people will die if plane was to collide with another plane or ground. That number is inherently much lower for car collisions.

so if we talk about nuclear safety, yes it is very safe compared to some other energy sources. But it also so much more dangerous when nuclear accidents happen than anything else.
I don't agree with Like. It's good for socializing, but not for this.

I've never heard anybody say they 'like' an article from Wikipedia, but they might find it interesting, so they'd +1 it.

Ideally, you would do both. Cameras to help justify the cost of infrastructure, and Wifi APs to enable additional sources of revenue like captive portal advertising. Not to mention the general economic benefit of offering such Wifi to smart phone users (aka shoppers in the local business districts).
Look, I work on a lot of proprietary stuff as well, but even if Github didn't exist, we'd both be subject to the same "unfairness." Here's a job interview, circa 1981:

Candidate 1: "I brought this fanfold printout of the source code for _____ I wrote with me, have a look.

Candidate 2: "I can't show you any of the code, but trust me, it's good."

Github merely drags that conversation forward from 1981 up to 2011. When you and I choose to write code that is locked away in somebody else's vault, we ought to charge extra to compensate for the fact that we might as well have been surfing Oahu.
Almost without exception? That's a bold claim.

How many local governments have you served in or had any interaction with while they were negotiating their cable operating agreement? Just curious.

I served in one. Negotiated two of these contracts, a re-up with Comcast and a new one with Verizon for FiOS. We weren't corrupt. And I publicly supported the idea of a state wide cable franchise, right up until the moment that the telco lobbyists started crapping it up with a bunch of unacceptable terms (the bill eventually died).

Local officials generally don't get into it for the money, and there's no easy way for a national telco to give a local official a backhander without it being straight-up bribery. It's not a "favors" thing like with towing contracts or something like that.

"I think the average consumer would be better off with a single standard rather than competing systems."

The history of technology so far makes it clear that competing standards lead to innovation and improvement; furthermore, purity of systems is weakness - one exploit, one flaw, is effective in 100% of cases.

> I bet the SEO underworld is also going bananas with the potential to game the system.

The value to the SEO underworld depends on how Google interprets the +1.

Google can use +1 data to identify folks trying to game the system.

The easiest way to get around said identification, or rather, to keep Google from using your +1 to hose you, is to provide good data.

Since Google wants good data .....
It actually worries me. When I know something about the topic, I find his writing awful and full of problems and obviously dumb. Then, in another area where I know nothing, it seems decent. Is this because it is actually similarly dumb in this other area also, and I just don't know enough to spot it?
This seems like a defensive move on Google's part. I imagine there are talks inside Facebook to either develop their own search or work with another search provider to integrate Facebook into the results. I am not sure how widely this feature will be used but, in my opinion, it is definitely the right move.

Show HN: My one-hand keyboard software. Based on muscle memory, learn in ~5 min.
It's based on two-hand touch typing muscle memory, which means if you're already a touch typist you'll be able to type -- fast -- with one hand in minutes.

http://www.staylimber.com

How it works:
Examine how the keyboard is laid out. The motion you use to type "G" is the same motion you use to type "H". Index finger, home row, towards the center of the keyboard. Same with "E" and "I": middle finger, top row. It's the same motion, but with the other hand.

Let's say you broke a few fingers on your right hand. You can only use your left hand to type. Using Limber, all left-hand characters are typed normally. When you come to a right-hand character, type the left-hand equivalent instead. It's the same motion as the key you should be typing, the only difference is that you're using your good hand instead of the injured one.

Our brains are amazing. Your left hand already has the muscle memory to type right-hand characters. It's kinda like that thing where you can't draw a circle with one hand and a square with the other at the same time. The wires are crossing somewhere.

So, for example to type "this" you would hit the keys "tges". Left-hand characters are typed normally, and for right-hand characters type the left-hand equivalent instead.

So the raw key input "tges" is gibberish, made up of all left-hand keys. My software runs predictive text algorithms as the input is coming in. So it always appears as if you're typing the most likely word, "this".

Who it's for:
For hackers. Stay productive and code while your finger is sprained or your arm is in a cast. Also for recent amputees and other permanent injuries. Or hold a baby in one hand, type with the other. Or mouse with one hand, type with the other. Etc.

Try it out!
Free trial on the website. It's an unlimited trial, but makes you wait 60 seconds after you type too many words. Windows only for now, let me know if you want a Mac version in the comments.

I'm very excited to get this out there. Let me know what you think. Would you ever use it? Pay for it? Get your company to pay for it? I'm open to any and all criticism/suggestions/ideas, from the base concept to any typos on the website. Thanks!
