Sounds like brown nosing to me. :P
RMS has never really liked the fact that Linux was not under direct GNU control. I am sure the rift is greater after the rejection of GPL 3 by the Linux camp. RMS has a vision for how things should be and tries to align the GNU offerings to that vision. Some agree with it, some kind of agree with it, and some think he is a fruitcake. Understanding his vision puts the push for Hurd into perspective. He cannot achieve it with Linux because Linux is steered by stewards that don't exactly line up with his world view.

Bioart: The Ethics and Aesthetics of Using Living Tissue as a Medium
You're definitely right. I know there are women who got into the field when it was just starting because it was considered clerical.

I was chatting with a school headmistress last weekend and she said that she was into computers but once she had the kids and tried to come back, technology had moved so fast that she had to change careers to education. Somehow, I get the feeling she would have done fine anyway but that's another anecdote. Places with paternity leave probably also have similar problems in high tech fields.

My sister is an excellent IT project manager but I don't think she has ever talked to me about how it was for her as a kid. What I do remember is that she had very few friends and those who she did hang around with were techno geeks.

I think female involvement in graphic design can be neatly explained by society's gentle nudging. It's "creative" work. It's drawing. It's art. Stuff women are "supposed" to be good at.
This is a great offer! Thanks!

I would be interested in learning (1) Machine learning, (2) Godel's theorems, (3) Group theory.

While especially #1 and #3 are not hard to find elsewhere, I have found it difficult to "break into" these topics, not having formal education in mathematics and computer science. (I am fairly smart person otherwise, so believe would be able to follow the subjects, just that books and articles often make tacit assumptions about the readers, leaving a plenty of reader's questions and doubts unanswered.)

The time slot looks suitable to me. It's middle of the night, right after my kid sleeps!
I would have to lookup the serious academic paper that says peel is technically unparsable in the same ways as PL/1. I think to date there have been two aborted perk on java efforts

Not sure if perl6 has the same properties mind.
Cinemetrics, a film visualization project
You're right. In a way, I was able to get school out of the way so I could learn.

There are still requirements to meet. We had standardized testing every year, and coursework to complete. My point is that I could get the formal stuff out of the way at my own pace, and actually do interesting things like learn about aerodynamics first-hand. At a public school, this would have been more difficult to do.
Very interesting observation.

In the 2 player case, not allowing for parity means that equilibrium would never be reached. The simulation as you programmed it would approach equilibrium as time goes to infinity, though, so I guess your model works about as well as one with parity, and is simpler. Nice.

Funny how that worked out.
It's been a while since I have kept up with the kernel space but I remember when I last was interested in it, that there was a trend toward hybridization. That Linux was adopting some micro like architectures as well as windows. OSX probably could be considered a hybrid from the start.

This seems to create a perverse incentive in a private system. Private schools will do everything they can to be selective about there students, because their ultimate goal isn't to educate the nation as a whole, and that seems like the wrong goal to me.

Why does there have to be an ultimate goal that is shared by every single education institution? Top-tier children deserve a top-tier education every bit as much as misbehaving children deserve the best education they can manage. Instead of having a single educational goal, why not start with the following three goals, and move from there?

1. Maximize the maximum outcome. In other words, allow gifted students to move as fast as they want.

2. Improve the mean outcome. If the mean education level of the nation rises, one can expect the mean productivity level to rise as well.

3. Minimize the negative cases. Provide intensive remedial (in the strictest sense of the root word "remedy") solutions to raise the worst case students to the highest possible level.

Actually, I suppose these three goals could be summarized into a single goal:

1. Maximize the individual outcome of each individual student. This would be like the reverse of the "rising tide floats all boats" metaphor. If every student reaches his or her maximum potential, then the nation as a whole reaches its maximum potential.

That should be the singular focus of any education system. Any other metric will fail to optimize certain students' outcomes, which by definition fails to optimize the mean outcome. I would be very happy if nobody ever had to be told to slow down to keep with the class again, as I was multiple times in my public school education.
Originally it was (allegedly) due to beta carotene in cow's milk. The orange coloring was used to mask seasonal variation in cheese coloring (same as how every other food is now carefully color-controlled) and eventually "orange" became a defining cheddar characteristic.
With a solid Github and/or StackOverflow reputation. I reckon the former is more valuable than the latter because it results in code being produced as opposed to just discussed.
naive is the perfect term. Rutledge's ideas about what news should be are quite naive, in fact. Of course good journalists should adhere to strict ethical standards, but all that stuff about how popularity should have no basis, and that "editorial" is a bogeyman? Sounds like he has little context for what news has been in our democracy, and/or just an idealistic worldview. There has never been a crisp line, and it's dangerous to imagine there could be.

I think the best designers get this "real world" aspect of news. Hopefully same goes for you programmers.
Nice graph. It would be wonderful if you could also put it in what takes what from where in addition to what fixed what.
Of course of course, because if our own circle of friends are all [x] then everyone everywhere must also be.

Ever since Facetime came to the iPod Touch, I have used it routinely with my parents on the other side of an ocean, and it remains the only video solution I've seen that actually WORKS. Skype video and Fring video on the iphone are just horrifyingly bad in comparison, occasionally comically bad, with seconds per frame blobs of color that vaguely resemble heads). Facetime just works, with quality that matches the output when you record an HD video on the device.

I am able to continue buying because my dad is able to check out the properties and also meet potential tenants.

I find properties through Redfin, then send listings to our agent (who is practically useless except for the fact that she can gain access to the keys of the unit).
Once we identify something good we put it on craigslist to see how much we rent we can get. If it has good demand, well buy it.
We go back to craigslist to find tenants (and contact the ones that have already emailed us).

As for HOA, the most we pay is $300 a month.
We bought one house for $115,000 and rented it for a year to a section 8 tenant for $1580. Be careful when dealing with section 8, they aren't the best tenants, but they have the most steady rent checks.
That's good, because although I have a StackOverflow account, my reputation is 1. It's a new account. :P
This blog format is absurd. Narrow column and a fixed width content in a box guaranteed to be smaller than the content. Plus this is effectively blog spam despite being owned by the same place as the original content: http://www.lucidimagination.com/search/document/1a0d3986e48a...
That's about as useful as taking two slices of bread, gluing them together, and declaring the result a complete bakery. You'd have to get ten bonded DSL lines to compare with the speed of a cable modem in my area.
We don't need to theorize. We already have a privatized education system in the US - college. Could you explain why it would be a bad thing to make primary education more like college?

Also, if you feel the US college system is so bad, should we try to make our college system more like our primary education system? If not, why not?

Your comparison to prisons is silly since a) non-privatized prisons have similar incentives and similarly lobby for more prisoners (google CA prison guard unions), b) prisoners don't get to choose their prison (unlike schools), and c) private prisons are not rewarded based on rehabilitation.
This seems like the sort of thing that should have been caught in automated testing.

Why do I drink juice? Because in the morning on my way out the door, I am unlikely to spend the time eating an orange. Because fresh cranberries are nasty.

My own practice to try and avoid extremely fabricated foods: buy the in-house brand. While it will never be 100% pure orange juice squeezed yesterday, they don't have a brand identity to defend, so they seem to engage in fewer food-processing antics.
Ask HN: startup PR firms recommendations?
Hi,

Can you recommend me some good PR firms that understand technology and how to tell a story out of it? I am curious and would like to hire one for a future launch! Let me know
Just for perspective, Rutledge harped on Frank Chimero a few months back for getting his book funded on Kickstarter. He was making other brash, insensitive, and short-sighted claims that Chimero was hurting the industry and selling-out.

I'm starting to think he's a bit of a modern design muckraker, pursuing pageviews by stirring the pot. I suspect that Khoi picked up on it, which is why he smartly did not pass on a link and feed the flames.
WebPageTest originally came out of AOL as an open source project. Patrick Meenan was the lead on that. He recently took a job at Google, but WebPageTest is still open source and has contributions from lots of companies who care about performance. For example, my company Torbit sponsors a WebPageTest instance in Ireland.
Gaming has been addressed for years by others as it pertains to learning and the future. There are also others working in areas that are proving very useful.

Speaking from my own internship experience:

1. The type of project you're doing: If you're applying to a game company, then your projects better be about AI, particle effects, or gameplay related

Bonus points if what you are doing fits the job description (in terms of the language you use or what your project is about)

2. Good coding practices (formatting, documentation, readability): Nobody wants to work with a guy who writes unreadable code
I like this, but only because I like Reddit so much.
I am really curious if an event like this will eventually promote change in the software patent laws

The answer, I have come to realize, is no. It will always be no. Ridiculous examples do not drive change. The only thing that will drive change is a direct attack on John Doe (aka patenting the mRNA polymerase gene and demanding licensing fees from everyone) or collaborative effort that has a direct effect on John Doe- for example, a "strike" by a large number of significant companies, or a "dark knight" who uses patents to completely shut down a very popular company like Apple and thus incite the people.

I am a pessimist, I know, but honestly if you've paid attention these past few years, you'll have noticed that obscene patent stories just keep coming.
It's sad that people still regard Andy as an "Industry leading expert". Andy voids his own agency's process with this this blog post. He does very little research, makes some bold statments, spends a few hours in photoshop and produces what? A poorly thought out, soap box "solution" with a pretty face. He gives no real thought to advertising, social component (comments, popularity and social media) or the politics involved with news.

The industry should do it's self a favor, hand Andy a muzzle and continue on to bigger and better things. He's scum.
No it will not, the thing about those schools is not the degree it is the people. The value of those schools are that a lot of bright people are in them, generally with a lot of free time. There is an opportunity while at school to really work on something revolutionary and potentially launch it. It has nothing to do with the degree and everything to do with the environment. That is what universities used to be about. So the only thing you missed out on was an opportunity to possibly be at the spark of an opportunity so what life goes on.

I have a degree from the University of Phoenix, I have been a CTO at 3 companies and an executive at Marriott. One of the companies we sold to Hotels.com and the other we sold to the largest travel conglomerate in the world. I got the degree because when one of the companies I was a CTO at was acquired, the executives in the new company where required to have a degree. Some companies actually put artificial ceilings on promotions where one must have a degree. They don't care who it is from it just has to be a degree, kind of stupid but some times you just have to play ball. Anyways a degree is the last thing on the list that gets you a job, if it is the first thing then you should probably reconsider your employer because they care more about looking good than building quality software.

I got to where I am fixing problems, generating millions of dollars and saving people money, do that and doors open themselves. The only thing a degree did for me was make me a good public speaker. UOP makes you give a speech at the end of ever class. Toastmasters would have saved me a lot of money.
This really seems to boil down to arguing that the patent examiners in the software art unit need to do a better job evaluating whether patent application claims really are novel and non-obvious, like they're supposed to under current patent law.

For several years they were really overwhelmed as the volume of software patent applications exploded and they couldn't hire well-qualified software patent examiners at nearly the same rate. Traditional patent examining practice of looking primarily at existing patents and secondarily at academic publications to show the state of the art also tended to miss a tremendous amount of publicly known subject matter. The examiners have been getting steadily better and more creative in searching for references though.

No offence, but only an American could make the argument that because their weight has stayed "only" between 95kg and 100kg that they are living proof that people can eat what they want and not get fat.

Unless you are a bodybuilder, which I am guessing you are not since they most certainly do care about what they eat, you are likely considered overweight in every other country on earth.
Would be nice if they could control for household income as well, you'd see much of the differences disappear.
A couple of points. First: In the paper, Aptiquant claims that over 100,000 took a Weschler (IV) test in 4 weeks. According to wikipedia, a Weschler test takes about 15 minutes. That's an awful lot of people looking for free IQ tests, and spending 15 minutes each on the site. Second: Check out Aptiquant's site. Maybe I'm stupid, but I was unable to find a single active 'Free IQ Test' link.

And another - Aptiquant's results (if they are real) are from a self-selected group. Does the need to take a free online IQ test relate to your IQ?
I went to MIT for EECS and left on voluntary withdrawal after three semesters. There were two highlights of my application to MIT: 1. I was the first person to make online, real-time games for the iPhone (pre App Store with AJAX). 2. I held a full time developer job for two summers in a row, and part time two days per week during the school year between.

Once I got to MIT, I learned that my grades and SAT scores were below most of my peers. I had no "hook", and those two points above are really the only unique things I could attribute my success to.

The kicker is, I did those two things without MIT, and you could do cool things without MIT too. Nothing I did was particularly hard, they just took a lot of work.

You say you "don't have the option to attend MIT", but you're wrong. You don't have the option to start MIT with kids the same age as you. I'm willing to bet that if you went out and built some cool things, MIT would be happy to offer you admission. But don't build things because you want to get into MIT, build things because you want to build them, I promise they can tell the difference.

But this brings up an even bigger question. If you're able to build things that are so cool that they could get you into MIT, would you really still want to go to MIT to get an education? Or would you rather continue building cool things?

To answer your question more directly: No, your not at a disadvantage. You're in a different place, but you can still go wherever you want.
What replaced VM? I've seen antirez saying recently that diskstore isn't necessarily the perfect replacement it was suppose to be either.

Ya know, I can't help feeling that this quote is apropos:

"Everything is amazing, and nobody is happy." --Louis C.K.

Whenever this point is raised, I always argue that human progress depends on the amazing becoming commonplace, luxuries becoming essentials, etc. If we were always walking around being bewildered by everything, we'd have no reason to improve.
I beg to differ with Gerry. We know a lot about how to compute. It's the messy, opportunistic, gestalt-driven activity of thinking that we still don't know much about.
Looking for some excellent resources on the linux networking internals
I disagree with much of what you say, but because I don't think continued debate will get either of us anywhere at this point, I'd like to return to the last point I made, which was: at the end of the day, does it matter whether or not gender binaries and socialization and sexism is the reason there aren't more women in tech? It sure as hell is a reason the women who ARE in tech are dissatisfied. Does it matter that sexism isn't unique to the tech field and therefore can't a barrier to entry, so nothing needs to be done about it? I still hold that it's a barrier to entry, though one that will hopefully be torn at just as it was in other fields (do you think feminists in those communities didn't also have these conversations?), but even if it wasn't, does that mean it's perfectly okay for these attitudes to continue?

The answer is no, so this debate is moot. If we fix the sexism problem and women keep shying away from CS/the tech industry, then a point to you. As for me, I'll just be happy that we all respect each other more from it.
My guess for the reason is this: http://www.google.com/trends?q=google%2C+search

Note the epic rise of "google" as a search, and the decline of "search". "Googling" is replacing "searching".

The Downside Of Accelerated Investment Decisions
I imagine that people of high intelligence would be more likely to understand the greater implications of using ad blockers (driving the creations of paywalls, etc.) and so would be less likely to block ads, even when they know how to do so. It's hard to draw conclusions, though--who knows if this chain of speculation actually leads back to a significant confounding factor?
On the other hand, Facebook has forced some fairly annoying changes with their chat interface, news feed and friend/group management. Maybe people won't be scared away that easily (put off is another story).
I doubt the whole "metabolism" thing. 90% of the people I meet with a "gland problem" also drink about half a gallon of Coke every day, and snack on chips or sweets. Maybe they have a super-cream frappacino after work, but don't watch that because it's just a coffee.

They usually have terrible habits, are are in complete denial about how many calories those habits constitute.
