The thing that bugs me here is that if you honestly consider it, in some situations either word could be used for more or less the same effect.

For example: "Cue the complaints". Surely "Queue the complaints.", meaning that the complaints should start lining up, gets across the same meaning (which is of course "oh great, here come complaints").

This doesn't always work of course ("That's our queue" has an entirely different meaning), however where I see most complaints about "mis-usage", either actually works.

Once you've made it past the immigration counter enforcement is virtually impossible. Most cities and counties don't want to be involved in immigration enforcement because its disruptive to the community. And it's left to the visa holder to go willingly. A big problem is people arrive on tourist visas and don't leave by the appointed date. ICE can't really do anything about it unless you try to leave through a border checkpoint. This causes an incentive to stay rather than leave.
Technology and startups which make people redundant is very good, as this way new resources can be easier produced and jobless people are forced for example to start their own businesses/startups and solve other problems, making the world an easier place to live in. Evolution

No longer is it verboten to mention Juniper and HP in the same breath as Cisco when talking about quality networking equipment. Hopefully, Cisco can get back on track and refocus on it's core networking products.

Interesting that they are letting go 6500. "6500" is their workhorse networking device but has been in market for about a decade now and needs a serious overhaul to be competitive again compared to Juniper's MX and the Brocade XMR devices.
"He found both reports were inaccurate (although NetAnalysis came up with the correct result), in part because it appears both types of software had failed to fully decode the entire file, due to its complexity. His more thorough analysis showed that the Web site sci-spot.com was visited only once — not 84 times."

How does that work? I mean, how do you examine what must basically be a log file (though perhaps in some binary format), come up with 84 hits but then realize it was only 1 hit and blame the problem on file complexity? Seems like such an issue would only result in underreporting, not overreporting. Where did the 84 number even come from?
Hello, This is Peggy
Your posts are great. Keep up the good work :)

I work in a startup and have been fielding a lot of recruiter calls. Like many other startups, recruitment costs are simply not something we can afford with our tight budget.

One tactic I found to stop getting constant calls and emails from the same recruiter is thru honesty and building awareness of our business position.

I let them know that we can't afford the costs now but we might be in a better position in a couple of years.
By that time, I'd like to select a recruiter based on their professionalism, practices and ethics.

Copy/paste is not an answer, it's a method; a tool.
I've worked a lot with consultants. I'm not picking on McKinsey, and when I hire them I want them to check precedents. I want them to look at their (and others) past projects and see if there's anything relevant to my problem. If they find an answer that someone else has come up with that solves my problem, and it's not a trade secret, copyrighted or otherwise off-limits, I'm thrilled. There is all too much reinvention of the wheel. I still see this as a failure to document sources, not "cheating." One of my points is that the exercise of writing papers should not be the only way to learn.
Take a macro view of things: some have written that with respect to Turnitin that they are horrified at 40% of the papers are plagiarized. Really? These papers for the most part are not word-for-word copied (though I admit that some are). Do you really think that hundreds of thousands of high school students have original insights about Salinger's Catcher in the Rye? Or that there is similar originality in readings of Aristotle's On the Parts of Animals? In a way it's reassuring that statistically these papers tend to converge. Of course, whether it is worthwhile to include Salinger in a curriculum is another story. As far as original insights, my guess is that Jerry's troubles at summer camp (bed wetting) might have contributed in some way to his oeuvre. Haven't seen a college paper about it, though.
> the client gets it at will from the server, decrypts it by prompting for password

That solution doesn't really solve the problems we're seeing all too often these days, user data being stolen and used. How do you determine who gets what encrypted keypair file, what's to stop an attacker from bruteforcing a persons keypair or even selectively attacking someone and decrypting their keypair. (I'm assuming you mean encrypted with a key generated from a PBKDF here).

Authentication is quite the hard thing to accomplish. BrowserID is a step forward for what we have today, but IMO it's not a step in the right direction, it's just moving the burden somewhere else.
Samsung also has a monitor that works with just a USB cable.
Well maybe the 2008 recession pushed companies to automate the jobs to cut cost, and made that people that were barely holding on to their jobs now are jobless. The underlying structural issue didn't show up all of a sudden - it was there all along - but the recession was the final straw, so to say. Social inertia and all... they simply got a push to do what they were already going to do.
30+ Best CSS Tutorials
CSS – Cascading Style Sheets – is a style sheet language which helps you to convert any web related stuff into a working design. It is very important to learn CSS now-a-days as it is the most vital part of modern standard of web design. By using CSS you can make any simple page look attractive…..CSS makes your web page striking and will get you more traffic than you were receiving prior. CSS can be applied to any site written in HTLM, XHTML, XML, SVG and XUL.
Do you reckon that when describing what you did on a CV the frame should be on how my skills can help the new employer or describe your experiences and leave the rest to a cover letter or a face to face?
I would prefer the former but from I am reading in your post you are suggesting the latter?
Of the 6,500 employees being cut, Cisco expects 15% to come from the vice president level and above.

...
in their defense though, that was (and is - until the final RFC is released) true. Depending on your infrastructure (reverse proxies, firewalls) supporting just one version can already be painful.

Supporting different versions, incompatible to each other is even more painful.

And as a generic host you can't make all your customers constantly update their application especially when you consider that various browsers out there support (or don't support) different revisions of the protocol.
A friend of mine was considering dropping his current job and doing some contract work for a while. He has a wife and two kids, and was worried about insurance. He found that he could insure his entire family with a decent plan for about $450 a month (after spending a little time on http://ehealthinsurance.com/). Now, I'm not saying that's chump change when you're bootstrapping a business on no salary, but that's not insurmountable, either, given some up-front planning and saving.

Would a universal health care system make it even easier? Sure, no doubt. But I often hear that it's so difficult and costly to purchase individual health insurance, and that just seems to be untrue. Are there other factors I'm not considering?
Ask HN: meetup would be the best way to find cofounder?
Well I'm still struggling to find true cofounder for my new project. I worked on prototype and now started building frontend, but so many people I talked to were so busy to join it, even if they'd love to.
But I'm not able to attend many meetups right now because I'm in south korea yet for some reasons.

In this case, still meetup would be the best way to find dudes? I'm thinking about submitting YC Winter season with prototype and probably I can't attend meetups for a month and half, maybe.

Wanna hear HN-ers' thoughts :)
There is a wide gap between what republicans say to us and what they put on ballot. So far they have not been interested in immigration reform or immigration enforcement. Illegal immigration would drop overnight if they enforced real laws against the companies that hire illegal immigrants. But they focus on the, easily replaceable, migrant workers.

An example, the state of Georgia wrote their own law on legal hires. Now, they are having difficulties retaining fruit pickers for the summer harvest.

As people here seem to really like and actively use WebSockets already, let me ask a question: How well does this behave with various proxy servers on both ends (client and server)?

I have this nagging feeling that yet another cool technology will probably not be usable for the foreseeable future because it gets broken in unpredictable ways by either forced proxy servers or, my bane of existence, personal firewalls.

Are there numbers out there about percentages of successful connections (though considering browser support, those numbers are probably skewed because this is still limited to early adopters which either don't run personal firewalls or are able to fix them)?

If connections fail, how do they fail?
This statistic seems bogus no matter how I try to figure it. From wikipedia (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Internet_traf...), the total internet traffic in 2008 was estimated at 7639PB. And for 2010, that number had only doubled compared to 2008. Presumably 2011 is along the same trend line.

I plugged this into wolfram alpha:

7639PB / month

Which yields a whopping 23.25Tb/sec (Terabits). So each of 20 households would have to be generating ~1Tb/sec continuously every second of every day.

If so, I think I'm going to need a bigger bandwidth cap.

I also tried 1998's number, but each house would still have to be generating 1.67Gbps.
flash. lol.
I think you convinced us to give functions a second look, as long as we can have a good story for auth, i can't see why we shouldn't add them, given the right optimizations are in place. They could be very powerful. https://github.com/pubsubio/pubsub-hub/issues/3
We'll have WebCL in all modern browsers before we will have a format for compressed audio that works on all browsers.

Arguing over what format to support is pointless, we will be able to ship our own (fast, secure) decoders before there will be any consensus on what compressed video/audio formats to support.
Honesty works brilliantly both ways. If you are honest with recruiters and inform them the budget doesn't exist to use agencies then hopefully the smell of blood will dissipate!
I would say that a no collaboration rule is something you may want to be wary of if you're keen to have a good class ethos.

I learned about this sort of thing in a roundabout way. I did my degree in philosophy, and everyone in the department actively encouraged students to be talking to each other both in and out of class, bouncing ideas off each other, etc., and it worked out quite well. We all learned to get along with each other, and we all learned a lot more than we would have individually.

Meanwhile, I had friends who were over in the various sciences, and who would talk about how that sort of thing could never happen in their classes because of strict policies against students "collaborating". One professor (and I actually got this confirmed, rather than just believing the anecdote) went so far as to state that if a student came to her -- the professor -- for something as simple as pointers to journals (not individual articles -- journals) which covered particular sub-fields, she'd bring them up on academic charges.

Depressingly, I found out later that my school's science departments were not unique in this attitude; this level of hostility toward collegiality seems to be a common part of studying the sciences in many places.
I feel obliged to quote Robert F. Kennedy here (a few weeks before he was shot):

"[…] Our gross national product […] counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage. It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for those who break them. It counts the destruction of our redwoods and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl. It counts napalm and the cost of a nuclear warhead, and armored cars for police who fight riots in our streets. It counts Whitman's rifle and Speck's knife, and the television programs which glorify violence in order to sell toys to our children.

"Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages; the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage; neither our wisdom nor our learning; neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country; it measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile. […]"

In short, the GNP doesn't measure what we would really like to optimize, but we optimize it anyway, because it is easier to measure. Just like we would search for our keys under the lamppost, instead of near the car where we lost them.

Unemployment rate is similar. We don't want everybody to work full time. Most jobs are boring and tiring anyway. No, the goal should to reduce mandatory work. Blame Microsoft? Actually we should thank them. The problem is everyone needs a job, or else they grow broke and eventually homeless. Sure, we could try to give a job to everyone, but this is a suboptimal short-term solution. A better way would be to further reduce boring work (technology can do that), and lower the need for jobs at the same time (I don't know how to do it).

I think most HNers understand this: you're most free when you don't need to waste your time "making" money. So let's maximize free time instead of employment.
"No humans. Are you starting to see the picture? I know you want to be hired full time by me. And I want to be doing my part. But please understand: I’m running a business. I want to make profits. And these tools are letting me make more profits by employing people only when I need them rather than carrying them on my payroll."

The Systemic Risk (grossly oversimplified):
-------------------------------------------------------

A. -> all businesses in all sectors strive to maximize profits while...

B. -> ...employing less and less people nationwide with shrinking incomes (part-time jobs, smaller paychecks, etc).

A. + B. => Economical collapse in a longer term: you can't have profits (esp. growing profits) out of population being slowly reduced to poverty by increasing pressing trend of partial or full unemployment.

P.S.

No way I buy this article and its arguments from a guy who runs 10-person consulting firm and just writes occasionally. Most consultants (in any disguise) I've met were charlatans - the proverbial borrow-your-watch-to-tell-you-the-time - who were after a fat check for dubious services from a far bigger company with real production, capital, management, and workforce.

Sorry, but Joseph Stiglitz is far more knowledgeable on the matter.

And, by the way, just saying "we use this, we use that" and listing some on-line applications and platforms is not convincing in itself.

P.P.S.

"I know you want to be hired full time by me.."

Well, this is already delusional.
If the focus is on highlighting how your relevant skills can help the employer then you may have to adjust the CV every time you apply for a role. I suppose my advice is geared more towards getting your foot in the door. There is absolutely nothing wrong with following your CV with an email listing your relevant skills and how they may help. The issue with cover letters is that most people write exactly that, a letter. Employers don't want to read a story, they want concise, easy to read facts that you can substantiate.
That was my point: the class isn't about writing. The class isn't about getting experience in writing. If you want to do that, there are much better alternatives. This class was about content (I used the term "Answers" in my posts). When it comes to content, the required skill set is finding the answer, compiling the answer, assembling the answer, putting a team together to collaborate to find the answer, etc. Learn writing somewhere else. The fault is thinking that writing is the only way to express these skills. Writing has certain formal conventions, such as citing sources. A failure to cite sources is considered plagiarism. Content is different. Facts cannot be copyrighted, and this class was about content and those facts. With respect to facts, the conventions are different. It makes no sense to pretend to teach students to write when you are trying to teach them content. We do it in academia because except for medical school, law school--where writing papers is relatively uncommon, compared to other disciplines--we don't know another way to do it. But don't call this cheating. Failure to document sources, OK. Academic dishonesty if there's a misrepresentation, OK. Providing the professor with the content he asked for in business school? That's not OK??

Saying apple doesn't care about market share is ridiculous considering we're in the middle of a smartphone land grab. It's also ridiculous considering they're suing their competitors.
Maybe without all the absurd, overcomplicated immigration laws to enforce, ICE will have the resources to implement the followup checks and send local agents to apprehend and deport people.
I'm surprised that nobody with access to the data stopped to ponder that those who know how to search would find what they need in < 84 searches, while those who don't know how to search would give up earlier. The fact everyone blindly trusted suspicious data from a 'magical' program is, to me, more disturbing than the flaw itself.

Out of a current staff of 73,400. Even wildly assuming that is half of their VP+, I've seen a lot worse ratios.
The version of websockets currently in the wild (-76) doesn't play well with proxies at all.

The handshake requires sending 8 bytes of body data, without a suitable content-length header. Without the content-length header, http proxies won't pass on those 8 bytes, so handshakes fail.

Hopefully this is addressed in the newest revision.

My father told me about a time when the big cities were plagued with cinemas, some of them really really spectacular. This time exist no more.

The cinemas of today... they are totally different like those circus with 20 elephants and tigers you just can't see it again.

Maybe it is time for people like google guys to enter and record with the street view tech what is like a bookstore of today because maybe it is obvious for us but our children will not know what is it.

6,500 employees ... 15% to come from the vice president level and above ... up to $1.3 billion in severance expenses ...

Wow. If I'm not mistaken, that's $195 million split up among an unknown number of VPs (let's say, what, 50 of them?), leaving around $171k per remaining employee.

Either those are very, very nice severance packages, or there is some tremendous overhead that I don't understand.
Unlike the troll at the top of the thread, there are some fair comments here. It's maddening when the maintainers shrug and say more or less "well, that's the way it's going to be".

My pet hate is contrib.auth - the models used feel seriously out of date and the whole get_profile() thing feels inefficient and hacky. Almost every client I work with does not want usernames but email login these days and I have to use the same damn workarounds each time. I get the feeling there were some bad decisions made early on in the project - maybe to work around the lack of model inheritance back then - and they've stuck, but still somehow need to be defended.

And yes, for crying out loud, South needs to be part of Django itself. This "we shouldn't have opinions" is a crock. Everyone who needs migrations uses South. When we don't have South but we have a highly opinionated - and practically useless - comments app, that argument doesn't hold water.

Like yourself, though, most of the time Django does what I need, I can make it work, and love 90% of it - the ORM, forms, middleware etc "fit my brain" and work nicely. But the framework still needs a lot of work and some serious wart removal.
