Both, actually. The achievement is now seen as simply a vehicle to ram advertisements down your throat, and the offer is seen as some kind of slimy fake deal.

Or maybe you haven't seen all the ads on the net where you've 'won' a discount by punching a monkey, etc?
Doesn't that basically mean that LinkedIn is a fool's game? In almost all of those cases, the person whose details are publicly available is putting themselves at a disadvantage in some way. Of course you like it as the person running the company/getting the advantage, but what's in it for the other guy to make sharing worthwhile?

I finally deleted my FaceBook account. After having some friend of a friend tag a photo of me from 12 years ago with an ex, that came up into my feed causing my wife to bitch at me for a week about I finally had enough.

Weird thing is I remember setting it so only friends could tag me but some how my privacy settings were changed again.

Never mind the week before that I was auto logged into FB chat when I always stay logged off. Just too much abuse for me to continue to give my privacy over to people who do not respect it.

I've argued before that h-index is a superior form of karma to what currently exists: http://www.quora.com/Should-Quora-ever-consider-using-H-inde...
Here's the solution I use: turn off all networking capabilities when playing Angry Birds. The Power Control widget (on my phone at least, Droid Incredible with Cyanogenmod) allows you to quickly turn off wifi and cell data transfers. You can still receive calls and texts, but the ads won't load.

Moral questions raised by this are left as an exercise to the reader.

Just saying that this is not a new problem and there are tested procedures for moving that sort of quantity of gold around the world. (The article seems to imply that a "new" solution was needed).

For example, swapping physical metal in one location for physical metal in another location is common practice among banks and large investors. They could swap metal to various other locations around the world before shipping it back home bit by bit.

The main reason large orders are split into smaller shipments is the risk (and insurance costs). The Venezuelan government may decide that it's navy can provide better insurance than a commercial insurer, in which case it might make sense to do it all in one shipment (which would be quite unusual).

This doesn't address the flaws of the karma system.

Karma goes astray as both an incentive and a measurement primarily because karma inflation distorts incentives; more users and more voting dilutes the impact of down voting, leading people to judge comment scores relative to other comments which makes genuine trouble makers harder to spot in the trends.

Hacker News appears to be the same as Reddit with regard to how people treat karma, which seems to have been encouraged by the adoption of private karma: thermostat voting has gone down (but I remember offhand a comment by pg that this has not influenced scores, if this is correct the only significance is that down votes are now a much better data point should pg ever want a more sophisticated ranking system), but it has exacerbated comment relativity, doubly so because rather than using comment scores to only order comments, HN also obscures posts with a score lower than one.

Disclosure: Community moderation is something I like to tinker with, and my own experiments have increasingly lead me away from karma. But there is no doubt that it is one of the most effective forms of soft moderation we have today, though I see little reason to believe that it can effectively scale past tens of thousands of users.

As per below here, 5ms ping [rather than 1Gig down] seems to be the central focus of this kind of optic social venture.

There is all the space to ponderate for a while on this as a social index: who would have said that only 3 years ago?

I wouldn't.
I completely agree.

I think the submission makes an incorrect assumption that valuable users contribute regularly. Certainly regularity isn't baked in to any karma measures on HN right now, and I'd expect that's be design rather than a flaw to be corrected.

Let me guess - some people don't understand cartographic projections? The shortest distance between two points is not a strait line on a map[1], especially when you are a long way from the equator.

[1] For most maps. Gnomic maps (image - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gnomonic_projection_SW.jpg) are designed to show the shortest distance as a straight line. I think the Dymaxion Map aka Fuller Map (image - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dymaxion_map_unfolded.png) is also OK.
Seems to me like it correlates with economy more than anything else.

This is a complex question. There are many right answers. bediger is right, in that Arch and Slackware will be by far the most powerful and flexible tool. However, distrubtions like Ubuntu have by far the easiest use and set up. If you are new to Linux, going to Arch wouldn't be impossible, but it would be incredibly difficult. I personally would recommend Ubuntu. It is very easy to use, customizable, and has great package management. I text edit in Vim, run a LAMP server, run my programs from Terminal, and customize my shortcuts via the Ubuntu menu for workspace management. My experience with Fedora is limited, as is mine with SUSE (though mine with SUSE was negative). You can email me at mrjordangoldstein@gmail.com if you need more help or have more questions.
I often hold back when I don't feel like my commentary adds value to the conversation, regardless of how strongly I feel about a subject. I fear such a system may encourage commenting for it's own sake - as long as I keep it palatable, I shouldn't get any downvotes and I'd keep my default "1" (low volatility), unless I say something downright stupid. Another issue - more with the system itself, independent of any formula - lies in the very subjective nature of voting. I personally would not likely upvote a comment I disagree with, no matter how carefully thought out and presented. But I probably wouldn't downvote it either, unless I felt it was made in bad taste. Perhaps a more effective system would only take into account downvotes cast, since standards of what constitute poor form seem, IMO, to be fairly consistent around here. Just a thought you may want to look into.

Also, could be just me, but I found your notation a little confusing, where you've used x as a superscript.
I agree that having ads use some of your information to target an ad isn't the end of the world. But I definitely disagree with your statement about Zerply's 404 page. Yes, they made one grammatical mistake (if you're willing to accept the "oh noes" slang), but they're programmers and designers, not english students. While that might suggest that they could have taken more time to review the details of their site, that doesn't mean they don't have an awesome and trustworthy service. I think you're comparing apples and oranges there.
As far as I can see, the formula gives no penalty for commenting infrequently. There is a penalty for commenting highly once and then poorly many times as compared to what you would get with an average.
heck i would pay hundreds if i could have live support and perhaps a rep/agent that I could ask questions too

In Scheme named functions are simply syntactic sugar for anonymous functions (or Lambda expressions). The same is true in Javascript. http://lpar.ath0.com/2010/10/14/javascript-when-is-a-functio...

From the succinct description of closures:

It remembers the values of all the variables that were in
scope when the function was created. It is then able to
access those variables when it is called even though they may
no longer be in scope.

No! It doesn't remember the values. It binds the variables. This is a major misstep in describing closures. The most important point: when the values of the bound variables change the closure sees the new values.

Please, fix this!

A better simple description of closures:

* You can pass a closure around as a value (to be called later).

* When you create a closure it is bound to the variables in its current scope. When you call a closure, it sees the current value of the bound variables (not their values at the time the closure was created).

Follow this with a simple example, like:

i := 0
inc := func() {
i++
}
println(i) // prints "0"
inc()
println(i) // prints "1"
inc()
println(i) // prints "2"
I don't use LinkedIn very often. I just keep it updated with my info just in case someone is looking for someone with my skill set. It's a pretty good idea I think too for stuffy business types, and they are constantly surprising me on their use of HTML5 and great startup/founder posts.

It's maybe not very realistic, but you'd have trouble with this approach if you were trying to code the distance function `(a, b) \mapsto |a - b|` in a language that didn't have an absolute value.

Taking engine weight into account for automobiles, electric cars have much lighter motors and the extra volume/weight can be used for batteries.

Consider 30l fuel capacity = 30kg of battery. Petrol engine is about 300kg, Electric motor about 30kg. So that's 270kg that could be used for batteries (and is in the Tesla). And since the batteries can be anywhere in the vehicle, there's a benefit to that too!

Both articles and items should have the up/down vote options, rather than the 5 star, IMO.

There may be value in the determination of consumer-side article rank by a (weighted) average that encompasses both the net rank of items posted to the article + the rank of the article itself.

I'm sure you've already thought about the item/article interaction in terms of effect on overall article ranking. UI/X-side, the effect (of ranking an item within an article) is unclear now, and I am fine with that as an early user.

Moving forward, developing a ranking formula that weighs article rank against net rank of all of the article's items will be a usage-informed improvement that provides great value to users.

That ranking formula, as well as making the result of a "ranking" interaction obvious to the user, will help the understanding of how such interactions work.

With a social answering/ranking/voting application, creation of, and/or tweaks to, the formula that determines the effect of interactions will have a huge influence in shaping the culture of the individuals that interact with the application.

It seems like 'combinatorial explosion' might not be the right phrase here. There is a combinatorial explosion of possible prefixes, but, since you're not going to search the possible-prefix space, it doesn't really matter. (For example, there is a combinatorial explosion of unprefixed variable names, and nobody's bothered by that!) The question is whether you can decode a given prefix, and, even in your example, that's easy. (Prefix ambiguities could easily be resolved with underscores, like url_html_sql_b64_string.)

I'm not arguing for this convention (I don't much like it myself); but I don't think your argument is a very strong point against it.

EDIT: Oops, sorry, I just noticed that it wasn't you who brought up the explosion in the first place.
Sure. Apple did it too. I still have the original ][+ Monitor ROM listing somewhere. Apple listed theirs to aid hobbyists. Did IBM do the same? I would think to IBM it had more to do with copyright than aiding hackers.

What if you want to steam high quality P2P video ( ≥720p )?
The most important thing you can do is meet other interns, particularly if, like me, you go to a small school in the middle of nowhere which lacks a homegrown tech scene. There are tons of ways to do that, but the best is to just go to hacker events like hackathons, meetups and the various intern networking events that companies sponsor.

Before this summer I knew almost no one else interested in startups or who read hn. Silicon Valley is the center of that universe, and it attracts the best students from all over the country. Nothing is more valuable than taking advantage of that energy.

I think Alexey agrees, because he seemed to know every intern in the valley this summer. In all, great advice!

Do you have any proof of that? A quick search doesn't turn up any other assertions of it being fake, much less a good refutation of the claim that dogs in Moscow have learned to ride the subway.

EDIT: According to an article on FT.com, 20 dogs out of a population of 35,000 have learned how to ride the subway. If you're saying that the claim that most dogs know how - which is certainly suggested by this article - is fake, then you're certainly correct.
Or they want to expand into other niches, and the code-academy name was just a way of getting eyeballs from people wanting to program (their initial niche).

That's my guess.
One project I always wanted to do is create a publicly searchable database which mined connections between public officials and their financial interests.

It would kind of be like a Facebook which the users had no control over their profiles. All known associates of an individual would be linked together in a giant social network. An algorithm would flag conflicts of interest. This should make it easy to see problems with connections a step away from a public official rather than just high profile associates or close family members.

Automated alerts would trigger when individuals within a public official's group are arrested, convicted of a crime, etc. Much like Google's algorithm identifies "bad neighborhoods" of web site links, you could instantly see if a particular public official was surrounded by questionable or explicitly corrupt characters.

Most importantly this could be used to generate an easy to understand corruption score, making it simple for the public at large to understand how corrupt the individual is. Once a particular politician or official scored past a certain point they may become an outcast, finding potential campaign fundraisers and advocates avoiding them.

The migration of eyeballs away from television and old media is going to have a profound impact on the democratic political space. Imagine if a political candidates advertisements delivered via Google also contained a corruption score next to them, much like how e-commerce stores on Adwords display user ratings.
Nothing in the top results of google seems to indicate that "andrei poyarkov" does not exist, or that the research does not exist. Do you have a link to a debunking?

You're absolutely right. Upvote and downvote should be separate dimensions not two extremes of one dimension. The opposite of up/down vote is apathy.

By summing up and down votes, you are destroying data. There is no difference between a controversial point and an idea nobody cares about.

3n+1 NoSQL Database Benchmark
During my research I stumbled over this interesting analysis and benchmark.It's an attempt to create a benchmark for databases that are generally described as NoSQL, key-value, schema-free or schema-less databases.

The goals are to create a benchmark that:

* is simple to understand and code - ideally, a page of code or less in most programming languages;
* performs a non-trivial amount of representative activity - reads and updates, access contention, recovery, etc.; and
* generates results that can be easily replicated and verified by others.
I suspect it's more the "Looks like we can't find what your looking for" than the "oh noes".
