"Not quite the guy I'd be quoting in a discussion of science."

He didn't really believe in mainstream science though, and the fact that he's actually able to make a really intelligent and often convincing argument for his views is part of what makes him so interesting. He was definitely interested in a lot of fringe stuff as well, but he always has really good explanations for why we should take various things seriously.

Certainly he had a lot of faults, and was needlessly sloppy or overenthusiastic in many cases, but overall he's got to be one of the most intellectually interesting people of the last couple hundred years.
Ask HN: how do you reach Asia?
There are many people in Asia, huge countries with many people, many possible costumers.
But our societies are so different that i find it really hard to reach them. And the language doesn't help. This seems really two distant worlds.

Has someone ever succesfully entered their market? How?
I was/am scared of the long term effects of psychoactive medication, and so wanted the least potent thing available. Plus SSRIs have side-effects that made me less-than enthusiastic.

I use Twitter, but very rarely do I click these "promoted trends". Does anyone have any real statistics? It would be quite interesting to see.

I can't say I'd noticed. Admittedly it's not trivial, in that I don't know of anywhere you can just show up with a credit card and buy a bitcoin, but it's hardly rocket surgery to fund a MtGox account.
Wouldn't work. A hacker could just hold a picture of you up to the camera.
Talent acquisitions make me sad because they reduce diversity in the product place. I find it hard to believe that a company with 2,000 talented engineers will put out as much interesting stuff as 100 shops of 20 talented engineers.

Also, while I am not in startups, I thought the whole attraction for those who do them is the independence in doing your own thing. I find it hard to believe that this can be achieved after being subsumed in Google, Facebook, or other giant.

I second. For sure you also did read the original German version? :)
The IRS taxes... money, right? Does it tax virtual currency? Sorry, I'm not sure. My line of thought was perhaps there's something written where it states that only the official currency is taxed.

I agree with you though, the whole Bitcoin thing is getting very interesting.

P.S. would the down-voters explain? It's not like I know everything about tax law, I was simply asking a question. :)
C'mon, seriously?

we've had , HB Gary, Sony, and a couple of others get hacked by sql injection or poorly configured web facing CMS systems.

Is it really that hard to figure out that if you're a target that is a stupid way to do things?

Put your CMS inside your firewall and "publish" it by generating a copy of your website as write only output.

Its not up to me of course. Sure put your open FTP server up there, maybe turn on anonymous access. Its like leaving the keys in your car in the long term parking lot, sure its convenient when you get back from your trip but are you really surprised when your car is stolen? Really?

In this day of drive-by malware injection by JPG or Flash zero-day vulnerabilities every single web site in the frickin' universe is fair game to get 0wned. Used to be if you ran some off the beaten path blog or enthusiast site it was pretty much too small to worry about. Not any more. Put up a machine with a web server and watch them come at you, Brazil, Argentina, the Ukraine. Blam, Blam, blam, test after test. IIS exploits? Apache Exploits? Got a CGI in there? Can you do local page execution? All your .htaccess files correct? Odd UIDs have logins?

I believe that there are better (and by that I mean less prone to being compromised) ways to manage the content on a web site of the OP's caliber than connecting it to a database.

Maybe I should sponsor a CMS version of the Pwn2Own contest.
I'd agree with you on the psychotherapy thing. I'm currently in some pretty intense therapy and it's been really good. I would recommend it strongly to anyone who can afford someone they're willing to trust.

I can't tell from your response, though, if you had tried out SAM-e ? I called it a drug earlier, but it's currently sold as a (n admittedly pretty expensive) supplement. It's hard to find a research study that doesn't show a pronounced effect of the supplement over placebo -- in fact, it was my psychiatrist who recommended it to me (I had stopped taking the bupropion and things were getting pretty bad again).
Most of their science paper is in layman English http://arxiv.org/pdf/0908.1803v1 and explains such questions.

The black holes they would build are very very tiny, about the size of a proton. They are relatively light, about 600,000 tons. Such a body doesn't have noticeable gravity, it's too light to attract anything and too small to absorb it. The big danger from these are explosions at the end of their life. The explosions are serious if they happened near Earth, but safe at the distance of Earth to Sun. They're built near the host star anyway.
Truth be told, everything we experience and do causes semi-permanent changes to the structure of the brain that we don't really understand.
Exactly.

I was watching a documentary about the wright brothers recently and right up until they actually did it many bright people doubted it would ever be possible to have powered human flight.

Like it always has, something will come along that will change everything.
It's taken me the better part of a week to fund a MtGox account. 10 minutes to send bitcoin around the world. 5 days to complete a damn USD money transfer.
I should add that the reason I stopped taking the bupropion was that I felt it "worked" by turning down the gain on the more critical parts of my mind, rather than allowing me to reinterpret my own critical thoughts. In other words, I felt like it improved my mood but made me a bit more dimwitted.
As someone who suffers some psychological issues... I sometimes wonder whether it's the result of our consumer-whoring-omg-think-of-the-children-be-vewey-afraid society than drugs/exercise. I mean, are you really going to be all you can when people are condescending towards you because you don't have an iPhone?

The doctors' job is to diagnose people's illnesses. They get money for medicating people. However, there are definite procedures and thresholds that separate physical health and illness.

Not so for mental health. Without any incentive to diagnose perfect health and without any way to mechanically prove health, doctors are bound to have a bias for false positives.

I am not saying that the doctors are at fault. But doctors are rewarded for finding illnesses, not curing them. Sad.
Ah OK, so your point in the original message is that you could not get independent software into your phone.

Because there sure was PLENTY of independent software for Symbian, and the system does very little to restrict what these apps can do.

Off the top of my head, a few simple ways to install apps in these devices that are independent of the operator and theis offerings:

1. Website that allows you to enter your phonenumber, and sends an installation URL via SMS. Just a few clicks on the phone side, very simple. For example Google uses this. <http://www.google.com/mobile/maps/>;

2. Enter the short mobile optimized URL in the phone. How hard exactly is it to enter something like "m.google.com/maps" to the browser of your phone?

3. Send SIS/JAR file over Bluetooth to the device -- quite a few of my "non-techie" friends have managed to do this.

I fully agree that Apple has made game changing improvements to mobile applications, especially on the user experience side. But to say that there is no independent software for Symbian is plain wrong.

> Peak oil/resource depletion feels very much like global warming to me in that the main advocates of it make the data fit their theories instead of vice-versa.

OK, please show me the data contradicting peak oil (even the IEA recognizes it now), or climate change. And I'm the one that "wants to believe". Heck, you people drive me mad.
Actually, virtually all dumb phones allow installation of Mobile Java applications (.jar), and most have no limits on the source of the applications (at least in Europe, I know of some limitations for US carriers and certain devices). Once you can send a link to the installation file to your phone, you are good to go.
As just a trivial example, compare the following:

order.getLineItem(2).getQuantity();

(get-in order [:lineitems 2 :quantity] 1)

The first is simple enough, but it's essentially a DSL. No code that doesn't know about that API can work with those objects. If I want to guard against null objects I have to re-do that sort of work over and over again.

Contrast with the latter, where the get-in function just treats the subject as a nested associative structure. It can handle the null checking, and it doesn't care what my keys look like.
Protolol Jokes
I guess the way I feel about ideas is that you don't own an idea just for having described it once, thus if someone else implements it they didn't steal it either.

In my opinion, you don't even own an idea that you've implemented poorly. Thus if someone else thinks they can implement it well, they didn't steal the idea.

You own an idea when you've implemented it well, maybe even really really well. Before that it's just a proof of concept.

And even then you still don't own the idea, you've just got bragging rights to it.

A good example would be the tablet. In the minds of most people, Apple owns that concept, everybody else are imitating it; that's what Apple gets for making the first really good implementation of it, even though Microsoft and a bunch of other companies made several really poor implementations of it years before.
I think FB acquired them for their "Enstore" product. Enstore makes it easy for customers to setup merchant portals. My wild guess is FB wants to be like Amazon and eBay marketplace.
Care to link to a Symbian "dumbphone"? I am wondering about the definitions you are using...
Perhaps I'm missing something, but isn't the system-wide Twitter integration addressing exactly the point you are talking about? I'm not saying this means they shouldn't be doing more, but I don't think saying they aren't doing anything on this front is correct either. iPhoto on the mac also got Facebook integration recently (though I find it to be buggy).

You had the quote on the clipboard but you checked for prior art before posting? A rarity on the internet indeed.
Here's another reason - people are rich. If you have no slack, you just work every day to put food on the table.

Having decent resources, but expectations that you will put those resources to work, and being fed conflicting values as to what success actually means (as well has how to achieve it) can send you; well; crazy.
College, the beta version, I didn't care about grades. I was only taking three classes (French, English Comp, and Music) and ended up only paying attention in French class. Came in handy when I decided to go to Paris that summer.

Some years later I read Soul of a New Machine, got excited about studying EE, and managed a partial scholarship to NYIT.

I cared about passing, and cared about learning (most) stuff, so I mostly got good grades. Switching from EE to CS helped. :)

My enthusiasm sort of petered put after a while, I started lowering my course load (school + work was getting hard), then dropped out for bit then went back, but nine years later I graduated with honors and an award from the the English department.

I had wicked great English profs, and a few really good CS teachers. Most of the time teachers would let me slide on assignments if I otherwise demonstrated understanding and the ability to apply what I knew. So I had some fun. Had one math prof who gave me a C even though I swear I never got more than 30 on any test. But I was the only one in class who asked intelligent questions and could make useful observations. (Thanks, Dr. Vitale!) Sadly, I sucked on the tests.

Did the grades matter later in life? I doubt it. I think all that mattered was that I had a degree. Might be wrong, you never really know, but I don't recall too many people being impressed. Once you get a job all people care about is what you're doing right then and there, not some college grade.

Overall I think you should learn as much as you can for its own sake, which often leads to good grades anyway.
I considered commenting on how familiar this sounds.

Personally, I can't help showing up on time. It just comes naturally to me. It used to irritate me that other people don't show up on time, but I'm trying to get used to it.

If everyone could just show up on time for meetings, we would probably be done earlier and have time to get real work done.

Oh well.
The Science and Magic of User and Expert Feedback for Improving Recommendations
>I think the international and domestic food policies of many countries help to cause wars and starvation

That's my point. Food production affects social stability in ways that aren't immediately obvious.

>But if I had to choose between having and eating my cake, I would prefer to let international relations slide in favor of growing food with my family, neighbors and co-workers, because I would rather increase the peace in relationships I can directly affect and growing and sharing my own food is a great way to do that

You'd prefer to let other countries spiral into war and starvation?

>In fact, I do make that choice. Because I can see its benefits directly, I also encourage others to do it.

I grow my own food as well but I have doubts as to whether it is a scalable arrangement.

I can't spot any flaw in the reasoning.

But one could sum up the essay as such:

"A man from the XXIst century said it it's impossible to leave the solar system"

Perhaps we should wait for what the man of the XXIInd century might have to say?

We'll need a couple of magic wands, but we've already built a lot of them.

Remember that in the early XXth century going into space was still science fiction.

Not at all. You need sufficiently advanced AI, but the purpose is to preserve humanity. It's a one-way trip. You aren't doing anything on another planet that will affect Earth, just spreading the seed.
There might actually be some educational value to this.
I didn't know about global lock too. In the presence of this lock we sometimes have several seconds read queries even from collections we are not writing too (we are very write heavy).
In an odd way "acquisition" defies that for a short period of time. It's almost like the startup is a means to acquisition.

But ultimately the attraction is independence and faster iteration. That's why you see people who wind up going back to startups.
If you're interested in C, one project could be developing GUI for some unix commands. At school we did a project once where we built a GTK app for creating logins on linux. There's many things you get to deal with like file handling and executing commands from code and so on.

One fun thing for learning hacking is trying to implement linux commands such as ls or ps. You get a little more intimate knowledge about the OS and you don't have to come up with specs because you already know what it's supposed to do :)

I won't defend their marketing practices, but I don't give a flying toss if they've made it harder for small businesses. The market changes, old businesses die and new ones are formed. Or are you one of the people who think we should subsidize old businesses so we don't "lose jobs" or whatever?

As for rational people caring wither Airbnb existed, I'm pretty rational and I think it's great. They've enabled a lot of microbusinesses. People who have a spare room can rent it out and make some extra cash. It allows people to travel more, and still make rent. It allows people to rent out space in tough times to make extra cash. It allows people to find cheap places to stay when they can't afford a hotel room.

I think it's done a lot of good. I'm confused where your negativity is directed. Are you just angry at them for spamming Craigslist?
If anyone ever needs an example of biased poll design... ;-)
I don't think that's why. I think it's typical linkbait.

Anyone who is serious about learning will follow the obvious trails of references in papers they read, course listings and book requirements for those courses at university websites, Wikipedia links, and so on. Anybody who found HN can find CS courses.
CEOs Must Be Designers, Not Just Hire Them. Think Steve Jobs And iPhone.
I think the fact that there is s kill switch at all is the problem. The argument being made is that there shouldn't be a person with a platform that has a kill switch. Platforms should be open as opposed to controlled by a single person or entity.

This idea didn't come to Apple via Google, it predates Google's existence, by a decade.

The technical solution was different then, but Steve's focus is on the user experience, and that is quite similar.
