I have to help "stupid users" in both the PC and the Mac world. There are "stupid users" everywhere and not more on one side or the other. I look forward to this new Windows Explorer. You would be amazed at the things regular people just do not know. MS is putting that all up front, in their face. They see it, they know where and what the commands are. It matches what their version of Office looks like. They will probably be able to figure it out instead of calling me to go show them how to do something, that as a nerd, deem "easy".

Plus, I agree with the other users. Our viewpoint is skewed. We are top tier users. We're not the ones that need disclaimers on the side of our hair-dryer that says, "Do not user while bathing."

You could spend thousands of hours and still not come anywhere close to WordPress in regards to features, ease of use, security, etc. It is only worth it to write your own blog if you want the experience, but even then it might be better to get experience while you're writing something that isn't already a solved problem.
Aside from issues relating to background noise on the soundtrack, the subtitles are frequently abridged from the spoken word in the interests of space and / or readability, so you'd need to account for that in your algorithm.

If it were me... Project Gutenberg has free books available in both audio and text formats. You may well again run into issues with the spoken and written text not exactly matching (it's not something I've looked into to know) but I wouldn't be surprised if it was rather less than what I've observed in subtitles, and the data concerned is in a more easily parsed format.
I don't see a reference to relevant experience, an indication of what kind of job you want, links to projects, or anything that could show a potential employer what you can do. I'm all for defying tradition, but you need to at least be aware of why the tradition exists.

All I see on the root of the domain is a test page for something called OpenPanel. That looks interesting. I passed it along to my web host.
Ask PG: What are the rules used on HN for calculating points, karma etc?
HN, though not perfect, provides a good example of a well managed community. It would be nice to learn from you about how HN handles it.

1) What rules/logic you use to calculate points for posts and karmas for users, and what is the rational behind these rules?

2) How do you tackle spam? Who can mark a spam post as [dead]?

3) What different power a user gets after having x number of karma or y days old profile?

So what I learned was that Sarah is not a team player. Maybe not by choice, but there it is.

She also doesn't think her resume/CV/whatever that is should actually talk about her qualifications, or at least show them off.

She claims to be extremely passionate, and yet hasn't tried to show any of her portfolio.

She thinks she's smarter than almost everyone she's met.

And she's only willing to look for jobs in a small area.

The bottom line is the team player bit, though. You can't ask to join a team after saying you aren't a team player. That you're non-traditional. After you buck the entire system and then fail to sell yourself.

Sorry Sarah, but if I were in a position to hire you (I'm not, mainly because of the location specified) then I wouldn't take the chance on you. You show a lot of promise for disruption, and not a lot of promise for productivity.

As a matter of fact I haven't seen a lot of back scatter scanners in European airports.

Actually only one, in Amsterdam and that was not operational.

My observations may be biased, of course. But I'm pretty certain that I haven't seen any in ZRH, VIE, DUS and PRG and LCY. And even Amsterdam security (which is a huge operation) didn't have one last time I passed it in March.

EDIT : To clarify, the only one I've seen in AMS was in the Summer of 2010. March 2011 I didn't see any

Interesting Research Ideas Make Good Research Paper Writing
Every student of higher educational institution attend lectures, where he masters skills of how to write essay, how to cite a paper, how to make search of different sources, what a good essay is about, but no professor will prompt where and how to get interesting research ideas. The student, who have to write a term paper, different types of essay, dissertations or any other research paper writing tasks, in any case, is looking for interesting ideas as wants to craft, in the first place, absorbing and catchy paper.
I recently published in JHEP and when I tried to view my paper outside the university I was greeted with a pay wall :(. They wanted the going rate of about £30.

All of my research to date and the work in that paper has been funded by the UK taxpayer. There is something very wrong with that.

Google doesn't turn up anything for that particular hash, though, nor did I see anything on the Matasano website, but I'm probably looking in the wrong places. I don't claim to be a security researcher, after all, even if I try to keep up to date.

One possible disrupter is the open-access model used by the Social Science Research Network, http://www.ssrn.com, which was founded in 1994 and seems to be extensively used in the legal academic community.

SSRN makes posted PDFs available for free download. The Wikipedia entry says that "In economics, and to some degree in law (especially in the field of law and economics), almost all papers are now first published as preprints on SSRN and/or on other paper distribution networks such as RePEc before being submitted to an academic journal."

Quality and prestige metrics: SSRN ranks posted papers by number of downloads, and it also compiles citation lists---if I successfully find Paper X at SSRN, I can look up which other SSRN-available papers have cited Paper X. (Sounds like a job for Google's PageRank algorithm, no?)

According to SSRN's FAQ, it's produced by an independent privately held corporation. I assume that means they're a for-profit company. I don't know how they make their money, other than that they will sell you a printed hard copy of a paper, presumably print-on-demand.
Foro de Moda y Belleza: Reuniones tapersex
Well, 20 minutes was perhaps an exaggeration, but in our first lecture we covered everything up to the end of part 2 and most of part 3. I think in the second lecture we did a significant amount of part 4, but then we went in a different direction.

We certainly did changes of basis and arbitrary dimensional rotation in our first lecture. We didn't do quaternions, and in fact never did in the context of these sorts of things.

Of course, we had done basic vectors and matrices in secondary school - we certainly knew how to multiply N dimensional matrices, and were expected to invert 2-D matrices by hand and compute the determinant of 3-D matrices. They were on the final exam.

Here's a potentially scary thought for you: in ~2000, this would have been proof positive of state involvement. In 2011, this is barely newsworthy. In 2021, this will be about as within the reach of the average middle class teenager as a three ounce device capable of instantaneous worldwide encrypted communication.

This is not going to be a happy adjustment for people who have to maintain physical security of e.g. a base in Iraq or a community center in a small town in Iowa outside which the president is speaking. At the moment the man-portable drones mostly carry cameras, but the US is proving in spades that cameras are really lethal if you do them correctly. The smart money is not on "a camera will be the most lethal thing ever attached to a $100 electronic device the size of a seagull."
If you have open wifi, and your hard drive is encrypted, how can they possibly make the link at discovery?
It's a matter of public record in the UK. Look at the web site of any major airport that uses the scanners.

I saw some writing by a guy who (claimed to have) refused the scan a while back, who was (he claimed) told by airport staff that because so few people refuse the scan, his details would automatically be sent to some government department (read: watch list). No idea how accurate his account was, but he certainly seemed quite upset about it, and it does have the ring of truth about it. After all, as many people have observed, "don't fly" is not a practical answer for a lot of circumstances, and in the UK at least, if you want to fly and you're selected, you're getting the virtual strip search and radiation dosage. There ought to be a law that anyone who thinks a 99.whatever% "acceptance" rate under those circumstances implies that almost everyone is happy with the scanners should be locked inside an active scanner with a few textbooks until they get the point one way or another...

Probably rather offtopic but: I've never understood the motivation behind "modding". Why put so much work into someone other's project instead of starting something own?

I understand modifying/augmenting open source - because it's a community effort and the result belongs to all of us. But creating modifications for commercial products you will never have any real rights on and then being angry with the owner when he tries to protect his baby/vision - that's just behind my horizon.

> when you google for text, you could actually retrieve videos whose content exactly matches the search terms and jump directly to that part of the video

The search aspect of this is very interesting and I hadn't thought of it before (though in hindsight it seems like an obvious benefit).
Agreed but still I feel that there are certain set backs at intuitiveness expected from the view.
And the transition from the old DOC view to the actual post is drastic and should be taken care of.
well not exactly for speech recognition when it comes to entering text into a document but as spoken word to subtitle. I think there was a TED video that showed this somewhere..
Jason Cohen's Business of Software talk in 2010 was a cracker. As someone who has consistently broken the rules he spoke about rules and when you might break them.

He also offers great advice about advice. He explains why you should always remember that advice, even from the best known and admired sources, should always be taken in context and offers a framework for filtering the legion sources of advice out there for entrepreneurs so that you can work out what is appropriate for you.

A must view if you are in the habit of giving, or receiving advice!

I don't see this thing described as "Linear Algebra". I see it described as "Linear algebra for game developers". To me that's two rather different things.
The auto-update process should be far more secure than SSL certificates. They'll have keys in the current Chrome which it'll use to check any updates are legitimate before they get unpacked/installed.
Why would anyone support old releases of Firefox when it is so easy to keep it updated? I'd rather have a break-early policy for my code than a break-badly-later one. By making changes earlier, the likelyhood of bad breakage is much smaller. This is actually good for plugin writers.
How did you get "not a team player"? I read it that she was fed up of being the only "dev" person, and wants to join a team of dev's. Not having being part of a team is not the same as not being a team player in my book.

She says she's the smartest engineer she's worked with. Not at all "smarter than everyone she's met". I took that, from the rest of the text, to be saying that she hasn't worked much with other passionate and experienced engineers/devs and wants the chance to. I don't see it as a negative.

She knows she likes the Boston area, and doesn't want to move. It limits her options, but otherwise I don't see how that's negative?

If I was in a position to hire people and in the Boston area I'd definitely invite her to the office for a coffee and a chat (read: informal interview) as she's precisely the sort of person I'd want to work with. I wish her luck finding the right company.
I think that this Job Search Experiment shows what kind of person Sarah is, and that is of great spirit and definitely great humor.

But surely, one might think, that some of the price goes to offset the expensive costs of peer review?

The author neglected to mention that peer reviewers work for free, and that the editorial boards are also made up of scholars who work for next to nothing. (edit: see reply below, this was in the article and I missed it)

It used to be that it fell to the publishers to typeset the articles, but with the advent of TeX they don't have to do that either. (in my field anyway)

Speaking as an academic, these companies do nothing for us. The sooner we agree on an alternative model which doesn't go through them, the better.
I think it's elementary vectors for game developers.

That's not to put it down, it's just to point out that for 20 years I've heard people saying that they want to learn Linear Algebra because it's needed in games programming, and this is the first time I've seen that perhaps they're talking about something completely different from what think of as Linear Algebra.

This really is vector geometry.

A project that delivers decentralised twitter-like applications as well as interfaces that aggregates it. There's several projects I believe. Essentially make it akin to an email service.

I suppose if you're aiming for the next best thing after Twitter, it might be brief videos with voice recognition. eg "Joakal: Met HN's founder!" "(PG talking) I like blackberries. Blackberry companies are best" (10, 20 or 30 secs?). That would make spam control and aggregation pretty challenging but lots of potential for advertisements and interviews.

Here's a brief advertisement (edited), "The Last Exorcism - BEST OF Chatroulette reactions": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNSaurw6E_Q And brief comedy (edited), "Top 20 5 Second Films Presented By UPROXX": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saqO_ZqX6uY

Curated newsletters are only as good as the curator. If you are going to crowd source the curation, even allowing multiple curators per topic, you should allow the readers to also rank the curators. You could do this passively in the email through analytics or more directly with a direct response, such as HN's up arrow.

You should most certainly give credit to the curators! I would also include a digital nanny to remind them periodically to prepare a newsletter. It's easy to forget those sorts of commitments if there isn't a direct reward attached to it.
