> self control: running around and screaming; fighting; raiding the fridge

Children pretty much by definition lack self-control. That is why they require parents, to provide external control.

> these are kids that are normally very well behaved.

They behave well when you give them they want? What happens when they want to stay up all night and kick strangers in public?

> if I ruled the house with an iron fist

Children thrive in an environment of clear and consistently enforced rules. The rules themselves are pretty arbitrary. Consistency is the key. Let them rebel against the rules and let the pre-established consequences result.

> But doing that results in other (far less desirable) rebellious behaviour.

Who is in control of the household: the parents or the children?
From a government network security consultant: The vendors recommend disabling IPv6 because they understand that it is hard enough to harden just IPv4. By disabling IPv6 on government networks, you minimize the number of places a security auditor can miss something thus hopefully improving overall security. IPv6 really does require a new set of skills to secure so it is better to be old, simple, and proven (or at least we know where most of the problems are), than new, advanced and unknown when you are talking about security.
Also, the PDF format is already compressed. Compressing it again with zip or gzip is a little strange.

For more information on this see C.P. Snow's over half-century-old lecture, "The Two Cultures." Within it he posits a great rift between the humanities and the sciences. The lecture is very much relevant to this discussion. As a side note, Edge.org posits itself as an abridging third culture in direct relation to antagonisms between the humanities and sciences. Also on this front is 3 Quarks Daily, which is a more or less excellent feed of multi-discplinary geekdom.

I'm all for higher standards of what counts as shippable. However, years spent perfecting the wrong idea will probably yield something of questionable value at best. I don't know what the right balance is but I never got closer to knowing by just thinking about it without some sort of feedback loop.

I also liked _Ender's Game_. It was the first "big" sci-fi book I read while growing up.

My only complaint with it is that it seemed a little too Joan of Arc to me and I was thinking, would they really have let a "kid" command their space fleet?

And you think that selection process is not going on?

Anyways there are other possible responses. There is a strong correlation between being religious and having lots of kids. Therefore genes that incline one towards being religious are positively correlated with kids.

Another is a trait of failing to worry about future consequences. (Now you'll really be thinking about Idiocracy.)

Complex traits like these are part nurture and part nature. But to the extent that they are nature, there is evolutionary pressure for them to spread.
Honestly it's a huge pain in the ass, so much so that I've actively tried to stop using it. I can reach more people on Facebook or through IM and email in equivalent time and not be charged through the nose for it. The carriers should look to smaller bundles for non-smartphone people. Other than that iMessage will kill them off.
Ruby/Rails is predominant in the startup world now. Regardless of the language you're probably going to want to build something for show and tell as soon as you can.

You can host on Heroku and of course having viewable code on GitHub is important, too (how about a simple finance-related library culled from your experience?).

There was discussion earlier this year about the Great Chicago Ruby Developer Shortage, so that may be an option (and of course SF if you're really willing to move).

Sometimes I think startups undervalue experience while over-emphasizing open source contributions; however the flip side is they're more likely to give someone with less experience a chance if they can see some code, especially in big cities with the most demand.

Good luck!
I'd be embarrased if I posted them (they are crap) however here is how they work...

My mail comes directly into a Debian box running postfix on the end of my ADSL line.

new-alias: Echoes the alias onto the end of /etc/aliases, then runs newaliases.

kill-alias: Use sed to remove the line that matches the alias and run newaliases.

Dead simple.
Be glad people don't take that attitude when building aircraft or bridges or medical scanners ;-)
"Apple has paid 2.5 billion to developers"

Let's change our perspective here: customers have paid $2.5 billion to developers and $1.1 billion to Apple for apps.
That is precisely it.
Do you guys remember when people used to create MS Access applications? They let the mdb running into a shared directory and screamed around the office to gain or release lock.

This is what both rails scaffolding and django admin means to me.
The problem with that it doesn't seem like they backed out of the goodness of heart to benefit app developers. It seems to be that the major services like Kindle and Netflix etc. would've started pulling out if this wasn't done, and since that will greatly diminish the value of the iDevices, Apple was forced to back off to protect it's bottomline. Otherwise it would've continued to impose those fee on small developers and users. To come back to metaphor, it's like the man stopping beating the wife after he was finally threatened with a hefty fine.
I've never gotten the impression from any of my hard science professors that they take the Culture Wars seriously enough. I would think that camp of though to be utterly discredited after the Sokal affair and the various books that sprang from that happy incident. Perhaps you could enlighten us?

Here's a big one: decision-making

There are a lot of skills required in business (sales, marketing, leadership, etc), but if you had to boil all of it down to one skillset, IMO it would be good judgment and sound decision-making.

Because of that, all else being equal, I'll take a strong poker or bridge player over an Ivy League MBA any day.
This is an enterprise. So they probably use a AV product like McCrappy that takes 3 hours to scan for stuff.
15-251 TA here. Probability is one of my favorite topics, but I agree with (this part of) the course's treatment. If we really wanted to do probability the right way, we'd tell them that a random variable is a structure-preserving map between measure spaces. You can't do that with freshmen. Indeed, we deliberately avoided any mention of continuous probability spaces.

Your conclusion may be generally true, but it's definitely off the mark here. The associate math head, who guest-taught a few lectures, has joked that "251 is listed in the wrong department. Many math majors take it to satisfy their discrete math requirement, and it's not because they're being lazy. We frequently borrow homework problems from the USAMO and other olympiad-level math competitions. 251 is far harder than any undergraduate math course at CMU.

ToutApp receives an investment from 500Startups, joins the Accelerator Program
One of the cooler things about WebOS when I was using a 1st generation Pre was the large community of jailbreakers and the mods and apps that they produced. Given some of the cool things they made possible on the Pre I'm really interested to see what they'll do with the TouchPad. Here's hoping it's a success, I really liked WebOS.
"And there you have it — an unboxed, statically type safe encoding of union types in unmodified Scala!"

The fact that it needed a mathematical proof to arrive at that conclusion was a hint that the path was too convoluted to follow.

There was no international standard wireless Internet logo for a long, long time. There still may not be. But this one is indeed Apple’s standard AirPort icon (they dropped one ring going OS X → iOS due to size contraints).
Thanks for the input! Yeah, information about the security-features are very important. Right now we are focusing on actually making it secure. Once we have a client ready we will most probably improve the information.
Pretty sure it is by choice - I know at least 4 of the last class have already secured funding.
Nope.

I've done what I'd call an "internal startup", which was successful, but with which I no longer have a great deal of involvement. I used a few hundred k of seed funding and a team of 4 to build a web app over about 4 months. It's in use at about 20 customers internationally, and is now delivered as a service model, sold internally through cross charging. i.e. we deal with internal partners and they do their own deal with the customer. I like to think it gave me a feel for some of the issues faced when doing a startup, but without many of the risks.
The label applies to both.

I believe, though I don't speak chinese, that Bai Hao refers to the varietal, while the tea class has to do with when it's harvested and how it's processed.

Those teas are both really strong examples of the respective classes, but are otherwise totally different.

I fear your assumption might be wrong. It's much easier to steal someone's password when they're in the area than from afar. A bit of clever packet sniffing, session hijacking, DNS fun, or even some plain old binoculars are MUCH more effective than trying to guess someone's password.

2001 isn't nearly recent enough. For at least those 10 years, it has been very hard to find COBOL programmers. Businesses don't take long to get sick of paying a premium for antiquated goods.

Multigraphs exacerbate the problem, not solve it. Now, not only can Mom not understand directory hierarchies, your average computer programmer doesn't actually understand them either, even though he thinks he does. Most programmers do not actually understand graphs, or know safe ways to deal with them....

... and in fact in many ways we already have multigraphs on filesystems, programmers already don't understand them nearly as well as they think they do, they are often nothing but trouble, and we don't see extensive use made of them in very "graphy" ways as a result.

Are these 1-off "hire me" sites actually working out for people?
I use Evernote for all my note taking purposes. It's one central hub to dump everything I can imagine. It's generous in it's search feature as well as platform availability (there is an Evernote app for it). Even though a lot can be improved in terms of performance and in terms of usability I'm still sticking to Evernote for most of my note taking needs.

Having said that I gave SpringPad a shot lately and it's dramatically impressive. It has more feature set than Evernote but the only gripe I had was the inconvenient flow of notes and the performance of their mobile apps. Of course, since I was deep into Evernote I was a bit lazy to move all my notes into SpringPad as well. But if I have to give it a shot I'll go with SpringPad if Evernote continues to lag in terms of performance on their mobile apps.
Side note: I've managed to duplicate the flavor of regular lipton by brewing Bai Hao for about an hour and then reheating it in a microwave.

Hahaha! That sounds about right.

I've had your standard western tea product only a handful of times in the last few years. Each time I've come away surprised by how impotent and un-tea-like it was. It took me a couple of years to develop a taste for the flavors in good tea; I go back to the regular stuff, and find it surprising that all the subtlety is missing.

When you look at how it's made, the tea you get in the grocery store is analogous to hot dogs: broken pieces, leftover dust, dried out old bits with all of the potent oils and interest gone. If you're just lookin' for a meal, hot dogs will do ya, but don't let me hear you go comparing them to steak.

Though they do make some high quality tea bags these days. I've never seen them in a grocery store, though. Good tea bags have whole tea leaves in them, not dust. And a serious giveaway is that they're HUGE -- tea doesn't give you the right flavor if it doesn't have at least a coffee mug worth of space to unfurl in.

I stopped eating sugar alltogether and sofar I am pleased with the results. It takes far longer for me to get seriously hungry after a meal or even when I skipped breakfast or lunch.
Also everything somewhat sweet like fruit tastes sweet enough now. I will eat sugary stuff once a week. I can eat as much as I want but usually I just eat some icecream instead of lunch. If I try eating it after it tastes too sweet and I cant eat it anymore.

Need some feedback on a new product
Hello,

My name is Noam and I'm a co-founder at a bootstrapped startup called 'Moolt'.

We developed a product for bloggers that gives them a way to interact with their readers and better monetize these relationships.

In a nutshell, by embedding a 'Suggest' button to a blog, the blogger can allow readers to request special content, share the request with other readers and pay the blogger for posting what they wished for.

Think about the getsatisfaction.com / kampyle.com buttons with fiverr dynamics.

We will be lunching soon and probably start looking for outside money.

I'm trying to get some more feedback about the concept in order to be more prepared for some VC questions.

So, what do you think? Is this a dumb idea? Do you think bloggers would use such an app? Would you use it?

Thanks,
Why the Media Is Always Wrong About the Value of a College Degree
An interesting data point. Look at the top 5 languages in the TIOBE index. Of them C++, C# and PHP were all created by Europeans. (In fact all 3 are Danes by birth.) To the best of my knowledge their founders live in Texas, Washington and California respectively.

This is not a small problem for Europe.
@aroberge - that is absolutely correct. Part of the reason that MS were hit so hard is precisely because they knowingly and willfully infringed.
Nothing bgruber said contradicts that. But instead of a magic "Sync" button that only works in one program on one type of file, the "sync" operation on files can be used over and over again. I only "sync" too, because it's way faster than literally copying things over... but I rsync. Granted, I'm a power user doing this on the command line, but absolutely nothing stops you from "Dropboxing" your music player. Potentially literally.
We tell our 251 students that the class should be called "Some Theoretical Ideas for Computer Science." Last semester, the professor and six of eight TAs had math majors. We definitely don't disagree with you. You're barking up the wrong tree.
Ok, but this has nothing to do with the point I was making, or the point the grandparent comment makes.
MongoDB connection overhead
_Siddhartha_ is my mother's favorite book. I find that Buddhist and Stoic philosophy deal with many of the same subjects, specifically, gaining peace with the trials of life. I, however, prefer the Stoic's emphasis on discipline and perseverance over the Buddhist's emphasis on acceptance and understanding. I don't think that one is qualitatively superior to the other, it is just that Stoicism works better for me.

voodoo-style fixes

They're not voodoo, they're sledgehammer to smash a nut fixes. A reboot reinitializes every part of your system into a mostly-known-good state. If you knew what, you could say "restart this service" or "reinitialise this driver like that", but a reboot gets all of it.

If you actually stabbed a doll with a pin and your program started working, that would be ... scary.

If he's cautious enough to do two-factor auth, he probably doesn't leave his accounts logged in.

Suppose he uses http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/advanced-sign-in-secu... and has it remember the second authentication for 30 days (available from a checkbox). Then someone who has compromised his machine and has installed a keylogger can find it password, and log back in as him from that machine when he is not there. Two-factor has not saved you. Nor has the IP check.

And yes, you're right. If someone owns your personal machine you have a whole lot of other problems. This fact makes discovering that someone owns your machine more important, not less.
