Overdesign alert.

How about the OS adopting the convention that any codes outside of a few trusted (expected) alphabets get displayed in a way that makes it obvious to a human that they aren't what they look like (eg, a bright red border or something).

AIUI, there are two major reasons this wasn't done in the first place, and why more complex solutions are necessary:

1. Those few trusted alphabets would probably include Greek, Cyrillic, and Latin, all of which have similar or identical characters with different Unicode code points.

2. The goal of Unicode support, localized domain names, etc. is for software to be equally easy to use for all languages, rather than to favor some languages over others.

That said, it might be advantageous to have a locale-specific approach, so that characters not used by the current language will be highlighted. But, that could be seen as hindering the ability of sites in one region to reach users in another region, doesn't work well for text that includes multiple languages, and malware writers will probably find a way to mark their characters as expected anyway.

Edit: also, the two words "get displayed" paper over a vast amount of complexity in the way operating systems and applications display text. It would probably be just as much work as any of the other solutions proposed.

If you think games are important to your platform, I really think that having game-specific APIs and features for game developers to target is both useful and simple.

I've always thought a Facebook meets xbox live would do well.
The ubiquity of software (or ducks) in modern machines isn't really relevant to the implications of the positions people hold. Just because software is used everywhere doesn't mean that being against software patents implies being against all patents. I think what you and others are trying to say here is that if you're against software patents, you should be against all patents, but that's substantially different. It's taking an invalid rhetorical shortcut of assuming the other person has no good reason to make the distinction, rather than actually asking whether he does.

As for "some", you may be right, but I'm hard-pressed to think of any worthwhile software patents. Really, the fix for software patents is probably to reduce the term and vastly increase the requirements for novelty rather than eliminating them altogether, but on the other hand I really don't see much downside to simply disallowing it completely. Maybe I'm missing it, but patents don't really seem to be a requirement for software innovation.
1600 words is 10.6 bits per word. If you want to reach 70 bits (safe from offline attacks with custom hardware), that means you need 7 words, which is within most people's capacity to memorize. If you increase your wordlist to 65536 words, you can get 16 bits per word, but you have to include words like "lefeuvre", "aarau", and "aubagne". Then you can reach 70 bits in only 5 words. That's not worth it.

Inventing your own words is unlikely to produce very random words. You'll probably mostly invent the same few hundred nonsense words that any other speaker of your native language would invent.

In other words, you have no idea what you are talking about and should not have posted.
cheesy music but otherwise, wow
Budget at least $80k/employee in payroll, benefits, insurance, and misc costs. (you'll have to budget more if you plan on hiring more experienced talent)

Competent engineers are willing to get hired for what amounts to ~35k / year?

.... What?
More on 2.; for the purpose of disclosing knowledge, patents are typically somewhere between 10 and 1000x less useful than a good scientific paper. And the content of the innovative parts of most scientific papers are not covered by patents. Open source software is another thing that makes software patents useless for the purpose of disclosure; the value it could bring to society is hugely inferior to the value achieved by open source software + academic publications, and the cost is hugely superior. In itself, that should be enough to forbid software patents, especially because there are at the same time proven efficient ways to protect computer programs.

I love Steve Blank's definition of a startup: A startup is an organization formed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model.

With that definition, we can assert that a startup is no longer a startup once they've found that repeatable and scalable business model.
What is 'faster horse' syndrome, out of interest? Never heard that but it sounds good.
Definitely give this a shot if for no other reason than to hear the hold music. It was only funnier that it played right after being asked to hang up if I was under the age of 18.
Faster CPUs don't necessarily mean you get more than 1000 auth requests per second against the web site you're trying to brute force.
The trolls have already got in, there's some guy who's screaming PENIS PENIS PENIS PENIS PENIS all day.
If you took the suggestion in your last sentence instead of offering it to the rest of us, you would see that the entire rest of your comment is incorrect.
I could not.

There is nothing anti-competitive in distributing something at marginal cost, when expected revenues that fit into a proven and habitual business model are elsewhere.
But does higher liquidity lead to more efficient allocation of capital? Or does it only lead to more productive markets up to a certain threshold?
What are the chances of a startup open house?
Yes-- the new site will be live next week.
Came to post the exact same thing. With 20-30% going to insurance/benefits, taxes, misc costs - that's an amazingly low number....even more so considering they're in SF.
She did say employee, not engineer. Still low but I'd gather the equity share is good.
But at least the program wouldn't simply crash. The way you'd implement this is that you'd have a maximum heap, just like now, but if the maximum heap simply is not enough (you ran out of memory, you tried to GC, the GC didn't work and you are about to throw OutOfMemoryError) you simply increase the size of the heap by 10% rather than crashing the program.
I suspect it's because it's the most relevant.

For me personally I wouldn't be interested in using anything besides the most accurate prediction. However, I would probably make the alternative hypotheses available to choose in case the best prediction is incorrect. In that case I can only assume that the hypotheses are listed in decreasing order of confidences.

More documentation, up to date and better organized. I know you have made strides, but please don't slack.

You should be sending all developers weekly email blasts about upcoming changes, recent changes and known bugs.

I'm pretty sure my company would pay for some sort of VIP tech support, even if it was just someone we could ping who would simply respond with "oh, that feature was switched off last week".
The API is not reliable... I've invested a bit of time into this: https://github.com/taf2/speech2text and been underwhelmed so far... might be interesting to use google as a training tool for sphinx... the issue i found is because the utterance length supported is so short by google, you need to then figure out how to break wave's into small word chunks... but then you lose context so you lose quality...
Good points, and I like the amended CTA. I've added your comment to the end of the post.

Are you betov, the author of Rosasm?
You calculate password entropy of a password drawn from a set of equally likely passwords by taking the log_2 of the size of the set. (This is a convenient special case of the more general formula for entropy.) A convenient thing about this is that if you concatenate two things (in such a way that you can pull them apart again) the number of possibilities is the product of the possibilities for each of the things, so the entropy is the sum of the entropies.
If you travel in more than just...ahem...Indonesia(I'm presuming), you'll notice they are "everywhere" in multiple SE Asian countries. As Nokia reigned supreme from the 90's until just a few years ago, Blackberry has become the new dumb smartphone with their Edge(or equivalent) network support. It will be a long time before most of the world is on a 4G equivalent. RIM will do fine for quite some time.

I have to ask (as someone who has also been through this curve) have you maintained your skills? If you haven't been producing code on a daily basis for 3+ years you may be in for a rude shock. You can recover but it may take more time & effort than you'd expect.
Hm, I think you forgot a colon.
I built this very same thing about 4 months ago: http://phoneshuffle.com

Yeah, that's the tricky part. It took a couple revisions in front of users to figure out the right way to do bootstrapping.
The real problem for me isn't shyness, it's that at Startup School, PG is constantly surrounded by people who want to talk to him, and I don't want to add to that.

Regarding the modification aspect, there's already some (dubious) legislation applicable to (illegal) drugs which are similar, in that they differ only/primarily in non-functional ways: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Federal_Analo...

On the "found in nature" aspect, I believe some of the patented gene sequences are indeed derived directly from existing organisms, but are considered novel 'inventions' due to the labour and skill involved in identifying, isolating and applying them. Copyright doesn't really fit for that sort of use-case.
Whenever I see news about some startup raising $400K or something like that, I just can't think of what to do with this amount of money (in USA at least). It's so little. Good developers are expensive. Great developers are very very expensive. $400K can get you maybe 2 good developers + an accountant + crappy office space for a year + all kinds of expenses.
I think shutting down people and social media in places that are looting, stealing, and making the world a worse place... I agree with that. I disagree on taking down social media when it's an organized legal matter. It's hard to make the distinction and not allow the couple people that ruin it for everyone else.
A Web Without Gimmicks
Coming from a student's perspective here.

I would advise doing your best to help the student learn. That is why they are applying for your position. Because they want a great experience that they can put on their resume and also so they can learn a new skill. Show them how the things you are working with them on can be used not only in your application, but in applications in general. At the same time however, give the student time to learn on their own. Give them the resources they need to solve a problem and then let them go for it. When they need help, show them how to find help or help them yourself.

I agree it's not a fair comparison, but I think it's an interesting thought experiment nonetheless. How do you think Norway would have reacted if a situation similar to the UK riots occurred in Norway? Implement more laws and add police, or look deeper to the root causes?

I think an important element to good audio retention is the intentions of the writer. If a book is written by a skilled writer, in a fluid, conversational manner, then a well-read dictation of it will likely be more enjoyable and carry higher retention.

There are some books (writing styles) that just don't translate to speech well. I believe that is more the writer than the content. A technically brilliant author can write in such a way that its impossible to follow word-for-word spoken, while his methods make perfect sense on the page.

Good topic OP- I have a few back-burner ideas involving audio components in web environments, and this area has always been of interest.
I am not. I am making fun of endless battles betov and rhyde had on usenet.

One of the major reasons some of the funding rounds are so big is that a large chunk of the money is going to buy equity directly from the founders rather than going into the company.
You really think they have a decade worth of runway? $42 mil is a lot, but for a relatively extravagant startup, I could easily see $4/mil a year going to operational costs, high-profile new hires, marketing.
Don't know that I agree with the downvoter. When I had tried Chatroulette after it first became popular it was literally like a 1 in 4 chance you are going to be looking at a dude masturbating. If you are going to go public with a system like this, you have to have an effective moderation system in place for it to even have a chance.
I think it's important to realize that leaders of these kinds of companies are no different from the leaders of any other company: they need to be upbeat about the company's prospects to a certain degree. The part that makes them unique is that they can't talk up their business without talking down another part of the economy.

I'm not saying that Pichinson's prediction about there being a Social Media fallout is wrong so much as I'm saying that you should take it with a grain of salt. He has financial incentive to talk the Silicon Valley economy down.
I'm not worried, but I am very curious about how so much money and talent could produce so little.

I think their salaries are 60-65k.

Insurance/benefits for 20 something developers at a startup consists of ramen and free pizza on Mondays.

That's actually a very reasonable salary and keeps out the guys who are looking to collect fat paychecks working 35 hours/week. You want work/life balance and 100k+ per year? fine, go work at Google. If you want the upside that comes with working at a startup you need to be willing to take on some of the risk.

Financial institutions selling new types of credit cards thought this was invented years ago
The problem is not for profit colleges, the problem is guaranteed government loans to anyone who goes to college.

1) It is hard to claim that for-profit colleges aren't part of the problem. They clearly have more of an incentive for this kind of a fraud (though other schools might have some incentive).

2) For profit colleges have expanded primarily based on student loans. Without student loans, indeed for-profit colleges wouldn't be a problem but mostly because they wouldn't exist.

Might as well ban telephones while they're at it. Call in telcom also to discuss their role in the recent riots.
Cool! Makes sense, too— it feels unrandom to sit there hitting one key a bunch. How do you know when to stop?

So here's what I got: figure I have a bias to switch keys. That means that 01 and 10 are more common than 11 and 00. So what I need to do is group 01 with 00, and 10 with 11. What I do is generate twice as many bits as I need, treat the string as a sequence of two-bit pairs, and reduce each one to its first bit.
That looks like this: 01011110000010111000010011111011111111000000111010110001111000111100111100001100011010011101

Gets you past the litmus test, but looks like it goes too far the other way? Hard for me to tell, actually.

Another thing would be something like a sequential xor of each bit in triples (i.e. 010 -> (0 ^ 1) ^ 0 = 1), which segments triples across probability like so:

- + + -
000 001 010 011 100 101 110 111
0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1

You can do that quickly by counting the 1s— 1 or 3 is 1, 0 or 2 is 0.
That looks like this:
00011011011011000000111111001011000101010000100100110011011010

I don't know if it adds much more (apparent) entropy, though.

It seems like there are some objective claims here that would be pretty easy to refute. Is it true that Blackberry handsets and plans have become inexpensive and are a good way for people without a lot of money to talk and message without the kind of big monthly bill that plagues more well-heeled people? Is it true that while richer people are not buying Blackberries anymore, poorer people are?

Is it some kind of value judgement to point this out, as something that's interesting to people who are interested in the mobile computing market?
