Work where you will be the dumbest person in the room.

In order to become great, it will really speed things up if you learn from great people. A great team can be anywhere, startup or large company. But, it is very difficult to estimate the quality of the team just from interviewing - especially as a fresh graduate.

Regrettably, chances are you are more likely to find a great team at companies such as Google than in a startup or a medium sized company. This is simply because startups find it much harder to recruit candidates, especially in early stages. So you are risking less going to Google or Microsoft.

With that said, if you find yourself agile enough to switch jobs quickly if things aren't the way you expected. Or if you have other information (such as friend's recommendation), going the riskier route may be more rewarding.

Wanting to send group emails to people, but not wanting to burden their privacy, and trying to get more friends in the process: getting social proof. Also, tying it in with escaping the rss reader eco system: news pushed to you. Also, making web publishing simple: self-expression for plebs.
One reason it can be dangerous is that not all of them use HTTPS. And hopefully you know what Firesheep is by now.
Thanks for the feedback - I already apologized for the trivial example - the actual case is too complicated and can't be shown on my blog - sorry again.
As for have too little to do - I wish it was the case but as an agile champion my work is never done. TDD, CI SCRUM you name it - whenever I manage to add a new practice to the team I have at least two new ones waiting to happen. After teaching them how to write good unit tests and practice TDD and putting a CI server in place now we're working on improving the team estimations - thank you again for worrying about my workload :)

I recommend working at a larger company. If you join a startup right after graduation, chances are you're going to have to find out about a lot of real world stuff, best practices, technologies and so on on your own. There's a good chance you'll miss out on a lot of good practices and do things the harder way (or do them the easier way, which will prove bad in the long run). If you join a large company, you get the benefit of being able to draw from experiences of senior developers, and you'll likely get one of them as your mentor.
After a while (and 'a while' may be two years, three, or even more), you'll start feeling that you've learned as much as you can. Then is the time to join a startup (or start your own, if you can).
I haven't read the article, but they should adapt it to Bitcoin. Showing where people are buying stuff, and what they are buying: de-anonymousing Bitcoin. Tax departments would like it to see what's going on, and it could help legitimize Bitcoin. People can see what bitcoin shops are hot, and trust-worthy.

It should run as a node, and merchants can register their address so it knows what to look for.

I guess the issue is faked buyers, so you'd allow users to put a widget on their site that shows their bitcoin address as registered with the site for that url. Basically, a trust and identity system tied in with the block chain. Pretty straight forward and useful, then providing something like the Verisign logo for sellers. Big startup potential.
Experiment with healthy foods you can pre-cook. Rice cooker with rice and beans takes 5 minutes to put on and feeds you all day. Leave it soaking in water overnight and it's 5 minutes of cleaning in the morning.

Can hard boil eggs with minimal attention (set the alarm on your cellphone), can make 6 or 12 at a time and those will last you a couple days.

Get some vegetables that require minimal preparation - I used pickled vegetables and like them, but canned would be fine too. Maybe tuna or sardines, try them all and see what you like.

Then you've got rice+beans, and you add on some vegetables to it, and then either hard boiled eggs, tuna, or sardines - fast, cheap, healthy.
Well the problem with that is that most of the best innovations come in the face of these restrictions. Nearly every advancement we have in cars today come from F1 in some for or another and many of them due to some restriction (e.g. restriction on motor size leading to much more efficient motors than we had before).
I don't think that oversimplifying design into these basic terms like "graphic design", "functionality", or "Berkshire Hathaway", really helps everyone realize just how important design is to a web-based business. The internet came about really late in Berkshire's business cycle, so having a successful website isn't important to their success.

If you're business is just getting started, and especially if you're a web-based business, then you should pay special attention to design, and realize that "graphic design" is just a smaller part of what design really means. If your customers realize that a website is nothing more than a graphical interface that helps the user exchange information with a database, then your business is sunk. Design not only facilitates that obvious customer-db interaction, but imbues your product with emotive qualities that make it sexy and desirable.

People devote their lives to understanding these topics (see: Steve Jobs), but here's a good link to get started:

Welcome to the world of psychology.
1. The radios on these cars go bad all the time - saw the number of backup buttons for when that happens?

2. KERS - you are limited to use it only for 6.6 seconds per lap - and, the driver gets to decide when to use it. Thus, it has to be a button.

3. PL: PL ensures that you don't go above or below the 75 KPH or whatever speed limit each track has. This zone is marked by a well defined line at the start and the end of the zone. I don't think that GPS is that accurate to turn this on/off automatically - especially considering the importance hundredths of seconds makes in this sport. Second, you don't want a car suddenly braking automatically or find the accelerator free automatically when the driver's not really prepared for the exact moment.

4. Oil: I believe this is in place for a 'what-if' scenario.

5. Tyre: Again, I am sure that this is in place because of the 'what-if-radio-does-not-work' scenario.

There isn't really any space to have levers anywhere else on the car like the hidden bonnet/boot switch and the backups also find their way to the steering wheel! ;-)

Yes, I'm glad someone actually picked up on this.

I'm watching Bitcoin with a curious eye, but this really nails a pretty novel and interesting aspect of it. That yes, you are paying the site owner for viewing their site, in a way that is (mostly) transparent to you and with billing already captured by your power company.

I haven't actually run it so I don't know just how badly it thrashes my machine, but assuming that can be worked out, this particular idea is the KillerApp(tm) of Bitcoing as I see it.

Actually, now that I'm thinking of it, one giant achilles heal:

If this really takes off and the mass of the internet uses it, then that means the entire mass of the internet can only be monetized at the set rate that Bitcoins are made. Which isn't much money.

But I still think there is something interesting here.. hrmm.
I live in Scotland, where the entire country has less people than Dallas/Fort-Worth - and even here 1k people isn't a 'small town', it's a village.

The town I grew up in had a population of ~35k, and it was definitely a 'small town'.

These things are all relative to your local norms, but I think demanding that 'small towns' have at most four people and a lame horse is excessive.
Ranking of Facebook likes
Bing is taking the next step in its self-conscious evolution from “search engine” to “decision engine.” Perhaps we could equally use the term “conversation engine,” as Bing begins to emphasize social content and even tries to enable connections between people through the deeper integration of Facebook and “Likes” data.

Thanks for feedback. I just realised I should have posted this to Ask HN - oops, I'll do that today.

I see what you're saying. The content is only spoken word (no music) so perhaps that should be stated explicitly. I haven't been sure about using the word podcast because it is off putting for some people and it doesn't necessarily mean audio (podcasts can be video too).

Maybe I should do a quick on the ground survey to see what term I should use - podcast, audio programme, spoken word programmes....
Nice to see a wave of contrary reactions to the original post, but I have to agree with him. And it's not because I think I can change an asshole. I probably can't. And perhaps sometimes I just add more to the flame.

But in cases like this I follow the maxim: "Qui tacet consentire videtur."

If you are silent and let this person behave badly then all others will see that this behaviour is in the realms of acceptableness to you and the group. For me, it is no different than allowing a bully to threaten a small kid in a school. We might have to tolerate this to have the most efficient workplace, but I prefer to optimize for justice.

(I admit, in places where I steadfastly attempt to stick to this against the wills of the group, I am a jerk.)

They couldn't have published a more obvious story. Anyone with any sense doesn't log into either service and you don't need to be logged into either service for them to track you. It's amazing what freely available information (your IP, the sites you visit, etc) can do to help turn you from an aggregate anonymous identity into a fairly well "guessed" identity. And since webmasters carelessly litter their sites with this third party crap, they can build up a significant database of the places you've visisted and your habits, without knowing much else about you.

The first thing I did when Facebook rolled out all of that garbage was redirect everything facebook related to localhost and then created adblock/element rules to filter out all twitter and facebook buttons, tags, etc. I even filter out the whole "facebook discussions" crap that are attached to seemingly 80% of pages, these days.

Then again, I guess the public lags behind such things. I'm sure there are people out there just today learning what a cookie is, so . . . ~shrug~
It corelates to value derived from the page.

SO the people I deliver the most value to, I extract the most value from. // WIth an added bonus that I recieve more value from the people with more expensive computers (aka the wealthier viewers)

It is technically the biggest threat against Bitcoin.

The mining process validates the transactions. Transactions are grouped in blocks. The blocks are chained in one big sequence and the miners validate the block chain.

Even if a rogue miner validates a block that steals coins, his fork of the block chain will not be validated by honest miners. As long as the computing power of the honest miners is above the one of an attacker, the block chain is safe.

A dishonest, big enough botnet could overpower the honest miners, fork the block chain and wreak havoc in the system.

--

The biggest threat to bitcoin is not technical, though, it is financial. The bitcoin market cap is currently of ~ $50M. If people with deep pockets and trading experience figure that bitcoin is a threat to their deadline, they can easily manipulate the market and crash it.
Selection bias? Your conclusion that windows is a malware ghetto based on your experience at the geek squad is like a Doctor saying 'everyone is sick, because all I see everyday are sick people'.
No, but they can help solve the problem of gullible people downloading and running installers for known malware.

Honestly, listening to some Mac user responses to this problem, it's like entering a timewarp back to when all the measures implemented on Windows/IE to deal with this stuff hadn't even been thought up.

Possibly a quick fix, until it's addressed, is for folk on OSX to do their web surfing in a Windows VM, using a security-focussed browser designed for non-technical people, such as IE9. ;-)

I posted this article because I found it thought-provoking, and I hadn't heard of the Breguet Number and Carson’s Speed. But it does seem to me rather half-baked (or even only one third ;-).

I was hoping that someone else would set the mess straight, including sorting out the vague definitions, but no such lazyweb luck this time ...

First thing that looks wrong to me is that server power estimate at one-third. I occasionally see CPU reviews with white-boxes benchmarking at something like 120W for idle power and 200W for full-throttle work, for CPUs rated at 90W or so. Perhaps racked servers have less overhead, but I doubt they do any significant work at 1/3 of full power. But I'd be happy to be contradicted by someone with real info.

P.S. Coincidentally, in the LWN piece I also linked yesterday (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2564007 ), commenters samth and incase provided links to info about an IBM Research tool (Performance Analysis of Idle Programs, by Erik Altman et al.). Web page: https://researcher.ibm.com/researcher/view_project.php?id=13... . PDF paper: https://researcher.ibm.com/researcher/files/us-sjfink/res000...
I'm so tired of this strawman. The Mac was never "magically immune" to malware. Just because technically challenged people believe that doesn't make it true, and there is no reason for us to "disprove" it with great fanfare every chance we get.
Huh? Just because one can binge so much that the difference is irrelevant hardly means that the difference isn't important in general.

The study this cites early on suggests that a low-carbohydrate diet with N calories a day is roughly equivalent to a low-fat diet with only 70% of N calories a day. So a 2000 calorie-a-day low-carbohydrate diet is equivalent to a 1400 calorie-a-day low-fat diet. That result is huge. (And makes me regret having had pasta three times this week!)
So they appear to be aiming for consecutive numbers:

Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 MST 2006 (MST is GMT-0700)

Month: 1
Day: 2
Hour: 3 (15 being 3pm, or 03 for 12-hour clock)
Minute: 4
Second: 5
Year: 6 (2006)
GMT offset: 7 (well, -7)

But this is confusing for anyone outside the US, because the month is 1 and the day is 2. I would probably need to dig out the docs to figure out:

01/02 03:04:05PM '06 -0700

because of the ambiguous 01/02.

Also having the year consecutively after the time is a little weird.

Seems like big-to-small ISO times (year, month, day, hour, minute, second) might have been a better choice. They're logical and unambiguous, irrespective of locale. And the clear consecutive order helps with memorability. e.g. in consecutive-number order:

2001-02-03 16:05:06 GMT-07:00
That definitely is a stupid default setting.
Because they're getting a lot of publicity and people think "Ohhh this seems easy, I wonder if I can get rich on this"

That's been my experience talking to people at work anyway.

When thinking about my career overall, I broke things down into small company/big company and buy side/sell side (or customers and vendors). I think you are likely to get different experience from working at each. This may be less true if you're a pure developer/engineer, but if you want to gain experience of the business side of things as well, it's really useful to know what it feels like to be the person on the other side of the table.

So far I've worked for a small software house (so, sell side) and tried to do a startup. I'm now contracting for a big corporate (buy side). So I guess that's two down, two to go.
And of course the older things are the better they are. For example, we all now 1000 year old medical practices are good and effective whereas recently developed ones suck.

... why would it be true for economic practices? Some experimentation is good, without it there would never be any progress at all.

Appeal to authority based on the age of ideas is something you can only get away with in religion, astrology, and it seems, economic 'science'.

Sure, there is a large chance that new ideas might fail but you can't simply argue against them because they go against old ideas.

Here is an example that one of the best "rocks to look under" (as in pg's "What You Can't Say" essay) is the misapplication of fundamental laws:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2254906

The researchers who wrote this paper looked under that rock. (In this case, pop-science application of fundamental physical law. It's hard to get more fundamental than thermodynamics.)

(An example for you entrepreneurs out there, I'd suggest looking under Kerchoff's Law. Yes, it's a great principle to keep in mind when designing security tools like ciphers and cryptographic protocols. However, I contend it's applied in a counter-productive way when people think about real-world systems -- those have boundaries that are way too complicated for the application of Kerchoff's Law. Often, this is just an opportunity for someone to show they understand crypto theory, then throw up their arms and declare nothing can be done. However, the truth is that security often works or doesn't work because of the economics!)
