You clearly see intelligence as malleable, which is great. The problem is many people don't (they view it as fixed), and Dweck's studies show that praising intelligence enforces this view. Dweck talks about good number of consequences of having this belief -- to name a few: encourages associating academic performance with self-worth (aka having contingent self-worth), focusing on grades and living up to expectations instead of learning and growing, avoiding challenging situations, shallow learning, lower achievement, and anxiety/tension and potentially depression.

There's a fine line, and the goal is having teachers that understand how to properly act in order to influence students to take on the proper mindsets (having a belief in malleable intelligence as one).

Read Courtney Loves coverage of this topic. 99% of the so called costs are bogus. The mega-corp owns everything it is charging for. The recording studios, the engineers, the ad agencies, the pressing plants etc. Its all a paperwork scam. They can inflate their charges as much as they please.

The other trend that has ruined music sales is fascist corporations prefer to hire moron musicians like rappers who are satisfied with a few ho's, a fancy car or two, some blow, and some publicity. Many can't even read a contract. Much rather deal with that lot than some college educated white boys who make music and can read a contract.

Ask HN: How to incentivate owners to keep availability calendars updated?
In our reservation system a basic requirement is that the availability calendars are update regularly so that search results are fresh and users do not need to wonder if the accommodation is actually available.
Owners need to confirm at least each 48 hours that the calendar is ok (just click on refresh).
Editing or adding a reservation refreshes them automatically.

Now, some owners complain saying "why shall I refresh? If I did no changes it means nothing has changed".
But in many cases it means something has changed and the owner did not update it.

Our ideas:
- calendar older than 48 hours disappears from the page
- the fresher the calendar the better ranking in search results
- fresh calendar allows Book Now. Not fresh calendar just Contact Us and discussion in ticket.
- if the calendar was not reliable (date were free but the owner replies they are not) punish owner with worse search results.

Just wondering if the bright minds at HN have some more, better, ideas!
Thank you in advance for any comment.

I started writing for the web shortly after it was invented less than a year for sure I learned to develop by hitting gopher (kind of like the web) documents. It was pretty easy back then. It was just pages, then CGI was added and I started doing CGI/C perl became popular for it and I taught myself Perl. Then the frameworks came out ASP, JSP, ColdFusion etc. So for me it has been an evolution as the industry has evolved. Being in it from the beginning I must say I have very happy to see the web finally morphing from page base to application to a more application centric development model with JavaScript applications. It is what the web should have been a long time ago. But there was a period where people became client phobic due to Microsoft's grip on the client. It stymied the industry by a few years for sure.
We do agile and planning poker in my team. The downsides is that all user stories must strictly be phrased from business/end user point of view, and there is no time to do any technical investigation before estimating.

How it works is you sit in a meeting, and for the first time hear about a new feature, for example "user wants to click one button to see all historic events grouped by week". The questions that arise are usually along the lines of:

* is this data available? we're not sure
* is this particular part of the system messy and hard to change? we're not sure
* are we really sure this is what the user wants? _all_ historic events? we're not sure

And then, you estimate. Which means there is a lot of guessing and either/or going on.. and you churn through a whole bunch of stories in one sitting.

Sometimes I wish for a more strict process with more of a technical proposal for changes. Either that, or to get involved with the business side right when they start discussing the new feature, to have a change to look into it/think about it from a technical point of view, while it's getting worked out to a user story.
That anecdote doesn't pass the smell test. The article says "the 1860's". Quoth wikipedia: «The last convict ship to be sent from England, the St. Vincent, arrived in 1853». Another source[1] states that the worst death rate of the fleet was 33%, far below the 60% in your source.

Makes for a great story/example though! Which I guess is how these anecdotes propagate.

Would you mean this to be a namespace which only the Python implementation could access? For example, if the protocol "it:next" is added (which is equivalent to next(it)) then is there any way to support that syntax in an older version? With next() as a builtin it's easy; try: next except NameError, and in case of exception, implement the function yourself. But if I can't implement it myself then there's no good migration path.

With your particular choice of ":", then what would "d={a:length()}" be? Currently it's a 1-element set. What would "words[middle:length()]" do?
You might also consider putting a "reliability" index next to the users name and allowing users to sort by this index. So if a user often fails to have their calendar up to date they would have a low score. This would be an incentive for them to keep their calendars updated.

A blog post such as this cannot possibly contain any definitive truth. At best, it can offer a new/different way of viewing things and perhaps convince you that this other way is valuable instead of, or more likely: in addition to, the outlook you had before reading the article.

The fact that you could write different articles, with different titles, arguing different points, does not imply that the contents of this article is 'drivel'. It shows there is a wide variety of valid arguments that support multiple ways of viewing and living your life. Which ones you find compelling, which ones you choose to accept, that is up to you.

Disagreeing with the arguments presented or the fact that there are alternatives you consider better supported are insufficient reason to call something 'drivel'.

For me, you have to deal with the perception that your course/site is the same experience as buying a book. That is, I think, your competition therefore you could price accordingly. There are pros/cons to your course vs. a book and you could highlight those and position your $29.95 against that. $29.95 could be right - no clue. Seems good to me as a starting point.

Another thing to think about is this: How long would it take for someone to complete the 10 exercises? My concern is that there is a short time frame of user attention and that you are exceeding it with the 10 exercises. You need to figure out at what point during the free trial people are likely to buy and then that's when the free trial ends or is close to ending.
Absolutely not. As another poster pointed out, if it predated the court order, it would be 100% legit. Say I wanted to make sure my data was safe in the event of theft? Wiping the data on movement would be a clear way to do that.
This assumes that, when left to their own devices, kids will stumble upon things they love. This is false, because kids mostly don't know where to look, don't have any incentive to look and have the attention span of a goldfish.

You are thinking what it would have been like for you and the error you are making is forgetting that most kids are not like you were. Most kids don't end up as adults on Hacker News. When left alone, without being introduced to a wide variety of subjects, most kids would play games on the street with their friends, never take up a book and certainly never attempt to organize anything bigger than the next match against the kids of the next neighbourhood.
Most of comments and articles about this issue focus on encryption, but I'd argue that authentication is far more important part for this discussion.

When using stream ciphers you have two pieces of data of exactly the same length, which you merge (XOR) together to get a third piece of data.

(Stream ciphers are essentially just a way to extend your short piece of random data into the longer piece of data -- keystream -- of the message length).

Thinking this way, "key" is not at all like door key, not a combination lock, and not instructions for constructing data -- it's just another piece of data, which you possess, maybe in your mind only. It's called "key" only for convenience.

Now, after encryption, you own two pieces of information -- keystream and encrypted text. There is no right way to produce the original data unless you know what the original data is: any way of combining encrypted texts with any other data will produce correct results, but not always the original data. The meaning of the result depends only on interpretation; and the only way to learn with 100% certainty that the decrypted data is really the original data is to ask you (provided that you don't lie). For example, it is theoretically possible that "I love US" encrypted with one keystream and decrypted with a different keystream will produce "I'm a spy", but only you can certify that this interpretation is wrong, because you know what the original said. And the only way to learn this, is to ask you to testify against yourself.

In order to have an interpretation that the decrypted data is the original data with less than 100% certainty, but without having to ask you, is to use authentication. You have authenticated data, for example, by applying some authentication function, and providing the result of the authentication function along the encrypted text. What do authentication functions do? They tell, with some limited but high probability, that you used this keystream and/or that plaintext to produce encrypted text. Let's say, you used HMAC for authentication. By applying HMAC with your "key" (it can be derived from the encryption key or just a new piece of data), for example, to encrypted text, you certified that this "key" was used to encrypt original data. Is it an act of testifying against yourself to provide the piece of information (authentication key) that will tell with high probability that the original data is the decrypted data (or the keystream is the one used for encryption)?

(PS I know that courts don't deal with 100% certainties, but forget about it for a moment :)

Another reason is power. Now, a couple of years ago, they added something called SSPS (Station to Shuttle Power System). This extended the docked capability of the shuttle, but it is by no means a permanent solution. It still uses a fuel cell to run some systems.

Apparently, it's SSPTS[1] and it was never retrofitted to Atlantis: The SSPTS also aided Discovery’s twice extended STS-133 docked mission, although STS-135 will not be able to benefit from this system, given the SSPTS is not installed on Atlantis.[2]

I was already reading my Kindle books on on the bus. But when I realized I had a lot of technical books I bought last year but haven’t read yet—and are pretty unwieldy to read on the bus—I just made the time to read them; I Instapapered less pages to read, went on a video game abstinence and other small, temporary changes. Suddenly I had large chunks of time in the evening and on weekends to catch up on my backlog.

So, what can you give up to make the time? Could you try dropping Reddit or something else for a bit and see if that time is better spent on reading?
Not only am I not a lawyer but I'm also not in the States, so I don't know. But haven't there been cases where someone has failed to defend their rights (copyrights, patents, whatever) and thereby been ruled to have lost those rights?

As a personal example, I used to start writing very large assembly projects in straight x64 assembly. This has a logistical problem, namely that you dont necessarily have a working version for weeks.

Then i discovered python! After doing a few small projects in python, I saw the light (the productivity of python) and nowadays I find myself starting in python and slowly reducing components to C/C++ (using python/C or boost::python) and finally replacing those components with assembly equivalents.
Well, if it's a mission critical system with millions of lines of code that need inspecting by highly trained engineers, I don't think that's so far fetched.

ASK HN: Would app developers pay for a copywriting service?
BACKGROUND

I'm thinking of setting up an agency that just focuses on copywriting for app developers.

I'm interested to find out if this addresses a real problem. The broad assumption being that developers generally find it hard to communicate the value of their app online.

QUESTIONS

-- Feel free to answer any question that interests you.

Q1. Would you pay for a service that specifically helped you as developer sell your apps online through better copy?

Q2. If so how much?

Q3. What kind of package/service would you expect?
