Open source Projects for Java juniors
Hello guys. I am a java guy who have a decent knowledge and understanding of J2SE, and after a while I have noticed that to be really good at programming in java , it will be better to join an open source project that is implemented using Java. So, here I am seeking an advise for a java open source project which i can join to give me expertise in Java and programming in general and also give a hand to that great community. I would really prefer open source projects that still in the first phase and also that us using some Agile methodologies. That is it and Thanks in advance.
Sounds to me like you guys are essentially spamming the search engines. I'm not judging, but at this level there can't be much expectations for high quality, and there doesn't need to be.

Automation is key here. You guys aren't going to design and create great content for 1000 websites. Automate, automate, automate.

You guys are handling your designers wrong. Don't tell them anything. Just ask for x number of fast and flexible designs. If they don't want to follow your instructions, then cut them and find others. You aren't building works of art here.

If possible I would have a developer code something which could take inputs for layouts (CSS and HTML,) color combinations and some other elements such as backgrounds and use that to generate 10,000 sites if you need to. What you are really looking for here is to have a decent look but also to keep your sites clear of foot prints which Google can follow. Your generator could also change up things like class / div names. In this case all the designers would be doing is helping gather the inputs and put together the layouts. Actually, you wouldn't even need much in a designer putting together layouts if you were to use a framework such as Blueprint, which already comes with command line tools you could leverage.

I know people who could build 1K sites (and profitably) in a week using the above methods with no help from others. You just need the right software tools for the job. Go hit up the communities of people who are actually good at this stuff and ask them. ;)

The less overhead, the easier it is to be profitable. It's similar to the idea of domaining. Buy a domain and it only has to pay for the ~ $7 / year purchase and the server it's sitting on. Info's are less expensive at as low as 79 cents per domain but they don't do as well with the search engines as com's.

If all else fails, quit and do this on your own if you are really that interested in this sort of thing. I don't think these guys really know what they are doing anyways.
In my career, I've applied for roughly 10 full-time jobs. I got interviews for 6 of them, and each interview got me an acceptance.
App stores can always refuse to sells apps to those abused the refund policy, so I don't think it will destroy publishers.

Although frankly speaking, 7 days is too long for apps, the law is originally made to restrict post sells and other physicals goods sales that buyer have no idea the quality is before they receive the goods, I think its quite reasonable.

Most apps seem to recognise URLs without http by now, though.
My point with Flash reaches a few thoughts into the future, while most are perfectly happy to have their ignorance contemporary. Let's just say that tomorrow Flash DIES. It's gone. No more Flash. Do you think those same shitty restaurant sites are suddenly going to become standards-loving, keyboard-jockeying HTML 5 + JS sites? Again. The issue isn't Flash. It's the industry. The same restaurants are going to call up the same vendors and ask them to provide them with, what they consider, the new hotness.

We place the blame on the customer, or the user, or in this case, the technology. Perhaps all along it's just us. And our uncanny ability to misinform the client and leave them without information on accessibility, mobility, scalability.

I'm slightly frustrated by my current apartment in this regard -- it's an older building, built with the assumption of no air conditioning. There are vents on the interior walls to allow air flow with the interior hallway, which is always pleasantly cool. The management has shuttered those vents, but not added any AC!
I think this is a really good idea. Applicants need to write a Rails app that interacts with an API, and they need to write tests and everything.
They also need to beat the server! which would indicate how smart they are.

I seriously doubt he intends any browbeating. Much more likely is that he would just try to make them feel appreciated and create a personal connection with them. They would be a lot more willing to deal with their friend than some "evil corporation."

Unless of course you were to put some isolation in those tents (or regular buildings, for the matter).

The ingenious building style in hot countries revolves around few windows, light colors and thick walls. With that, there is not much need for air conditioning.

But then again, the US has a track record of building inefficient houses, so this should not surprise anyone.

This is true, but this same logic applies also to pilots. The key difference is that pilots are very expensive to train and therefore more difficult to replace, whereas flight attendants are relatively easy to train and replace.

Ask HN: Google 2 factor authentication security?
I've got it enabled & it works well using the authenticator android app. I'm worried about the android device though: If I lose it someone has a device with both the authenticator plus android apps (gmail etc) that allow access.

Is this enough for the crook to take control over the account? i.e. Can one change the master password from there or will I always be able to kill the device specific password with my PC + Master password?

Four ways to promote your blog for free
Web logging (better known as "blogging") can be a great way make your personality and ideas known to the world. You can post your most inspiring philosophical musings, or you can inform the public about the latest product releases of your business. But if you really want to stake your claim on your primary topic of discussion, then you must take steps to let the world know that your blog exists. Here are four ways to promote your blog for free.
He has already agreed with the evil corporation. He _is_ the evil corporation. A wolf in sheep's clothing. I doubt he's inviting any of the pilots with him the next time he jet skis with a naked model clinging to his back.

Let's just say becoming friends with a billionaire because you've been invited to meet him due to the fact that you're on strike at one of his companies is unlikely.
I have seen an airflow system in a newly built house to keep all rooms supplied with fresh air even without opening windows or doors and I think it is a fantastic concept - at least when considering the house was built outside the city.

I think this is called "heat recovery ventilation" in English.

The 3G connection does not aim to provide completely reliable "connections" -- it aims to provide an as-reliable-as-it-can data link, given channel conditions and configured transmission parameters (which are to some extent controlled by the RAN). If the error rate seen by the channel decoder is too high, it will drop a frame. There is an ARQ mechanism in the MAC layer to try to compensate so that the higher layers don't see the loss, but it implies some delay and also has limits -- i.e. at some point losses due to bit errors injected by the channel may manifest in lost frames and IP packets.

The L1 and MAC of 3GPP are generally implemented in an ASIC and not necessarily visible to the OS. Many of the parameters are dictated and controlled by the RAN (operators are picky and try to control things so that handsets can't misbehave and crap all over the other users in a cell), so the OS doesn't get a look in -- i.e. I don't think it's possible to turn off the 3G error recovery mechanisms.

Disclaimer: I used to work at L1 so someone with more detailed knowledge the MAC and higher layers of the 3GPP stack could give a better idea of what happens when the MAC ARQ limits are hit.

Summary: 3G was designed more than 10 years ago and is showing its age. User requirements have shifted, but standards can't evolve that quickly. Maybe LTE will help provide the user experience for today's apps... question is whether it will be widely deployed in time to matter.

Now that we can even use video in electronic communications the difference with "in person" is getting really slim.

For me advantages of electronic communications (speed, easy accessibility, various tools such as HN, conversation logs) outweigh "in person" communication most of the time.
I don't believe that's a very manpower-intensive production system though, unless we're going for the Soylent Green option...
Ask HN: Is this a feasible business idea?
A couple weeks ago I had an idea for a new service, but I'm not sure it's something others would find useful or if it would be accepted as an authority.

Basically, what I'm thinking is a service where people could do things like store notes, pictures, recordings, etc. and each item would be stored in such a way so that it could not be later altered (was thinking MySQL archive tables).

For example, the idea came to mind when my wife moved out a few weeks ago. Every time we have a conversation I feel like I need to document it, e.g. "Just spoke with X and stated that abc" and have that stored on a server of a non-biased company somewhere so that if the situation gets to the point of legal counsel being brought in I could put together a sort of log or journal of what's been said and when.

If this was something that could be useful, I could build out mobile apps that could take recordings and submit those or even automatically forward text messages from selected individuals. I would, of course, want something like triple redundancy on the databases to ensure nothing is lost.

But, like I said earlier, I'm not sure such a service would be helpful to others or if lawyers/courts would even consider the information worthwhile or admissible.

What say ye, all wise HN community? :)
That reaction is intuitive but nobody wants to be branded as grammar n*zis, I guess

Post air-conditioning, European buildings are still built like that. Most housing buildings in Europe do not have air conditioning, even in the subtropical south.

Speaking of the south, many many buildings in Greece and Italy have a simple mirror and a steel tank on their roofs to supply hot water. No electricity or sophistication needed.

Even in the cold north, simple radiators provide enough heat to keep a house warm. Thick walls and small windows are enough to contain air temperatures in both cold Finland and hot Greece.
Most systems have a find command that supports the "-exec command {} +" option, which does not spawn the command for each result, but instead puts as many arguments as the shell will allow on the command line.

Very cool. Thanks for the insight.

Mind if I ask how you timed execution?

The take aways for me are:

* Use find's built-in options where possible

* Use xargs where a built-in method isn't available

* Use -exec only when nothing else will do

Right. And most customers want their pilots to have as much experience as possible. Having senior experienced pilots on your payroll is seen as a plus. Sullenberger, the guy who successfully managed to put a plane down on the Hudson river, basically epitomizes how you want your pilots to look:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesley_Sullenberger

You'll never seen an airline advertising how they have the youngest pilots in the industry.

On the other hand, having flight attendants to be as young, attractive and perky as possible is probably considered a positive thing.

You can use

- private tumblr blog

- catch.com

- evernote

- google docs

- emacs org-mode + dropbox

etc.

If you record everything on audio tape or talk only using phone and record it. Or you use gtalk only then legal bodies might take it seriously. But no one is going to take notes written by you seriously.

Is it legal to record phone conversation without other persons consent? I don't k now.
Even so, when tech companies are hiring, one of the things they do is trot out the list of investors to establish their credibility.

The salient question is whether potential hires will (a) Forget all about this, (b) Remember it and blame Silver Lake, or (c) remember it vaguely and think A.H. was involved?

I have no idea what the outcome will be, but I'm guessing that (b) is way less likely than (a) or (c).
Are you stating that flight attendants worldwide should go on strike, or just the Virgin ones?. My friend has just completed flight attendant training at Virgin, it's an intensive 6 week course with exams etc and the 40 or so that went through th training were selected from in excess of 2,000 applications.

I think your experience of Virgin is great, but I think your comment that they should go on strike because they offer great service is way off. The experience you had is most likely due to the sheer quality of the training and their impeccably high standards, it's also these qualities that mean they are extremely highly regarded talent in their industry.

The Gobi is ridiculously varied (as is Mongolian really, it was wrong of me to generalize that much). That said, the Gobi is a relatively cold desert. High elevation plus relatively high latitude. My geography is kinda sketchy, so a quick google tells me that while the hottest part of the year can reach +30C (I guess approaching Iraq levels), temperatures in the north (the Mongolian part) are generally lower, and infact, you would probably be far more worried about how cold it gets than how hot (the famous Mongolian winters???).

Regulators were not MIA, they were all too present, forcing banks to extend risky loans by threatening anti-redlining lawsuits.

The non-existent common sense was the premise that you shouldn't loan to people who can't pay.

This common sense got suspended by government/NGO fiat because many of those who couldn't pay were minorities. No securitization hijinks could have happened if those mortgages hadn't been forced into the system in the first place.

If he was being paid $28,000, he had to be producing at least $28,000 worth of value to AOL. In trying to be neutral, the articles the AOL farmer wrote had to of be of some value to produce that return (the actual required return is probably some percentage higher than the $28k)-- eyes were reading the content and there was some demand for that content.

The ultimate issue should lie with the mechanisms used to drive that $28k+%return in value. If that mechanism is the Google organic funnel -> AdSense revenues, and if your demand is for quality content, isn't Google more of the problem than AOL? AOL is trying to survive and compete in a landscape where bad articles written on the cheap produce a higher aggregate value than quality articles written by authors who command a higher wage.

" the attention span of an ADHD kid hopped up on meth and Jolly Ranchers"

I think meth and sugar actually makes ADHD kids more calm because it allows for the easily triggered mental satisfaction obtained from normal everyday interactions, which ADHD kids crave and require constant attention and running around in circles to obtain, something we naturally get without drugs. But moving on with the article. :)

- "Its utterly ridiculous" "They well deserve it."

Why?

You seem to be forgetting the basics of economics. It really doesn't matter what you think they "deserve" or how hard you or they think it is to deal with the general public.

What matters is how many people could/would be willing to do their jobs. And the answer is quite a few, whereas there are many fewer people who could manage a McDonalds.

Thus demand is low for flight attendants, and thus the price is low.

I'm all for people negotiating for as much as they can get, but I certainly don't think it's ridiculous that the market offers different prices for different services.

In my experience, it is easier to find a job while you are in the beginning of your career. This is mostly because you ask for less money and are less specialized. As you get more specialized, you find that you make more money but at the same time you find fewer jobs that match your specialty.
