Negative Feedback with Online Reputation Management
The whole concept of online reputation management relies on suppressing negative feedback and improving the image of an online business. Business owners might not have the time necessary for fighting against bad press and negative feedback and this is why they usually prefer to hire professionals for this.
I don't see how any sane site would block its content with an ad.
Working in multiple software companies at the same time
Hi,
I am working for a big software company. A few friends & me have a good idea and want to implement this idea while we work for the big software company. The software I are thinking of building is add-on to the big company's software. Is this legal or should I get permission from the big software company?

Thanks,
Luke
The project may have been blessed by some official at the Kremlin, but no doubt it would need to be approved -- and even partly financed -- by the US and Alaskan governments to actually happen. It would be nice if reporters even bothered to ask if anyone in office on this side of the ocean had even heard of the Kremlin's renewed interest in this.

If you haven't already, you might want to take a look at some of the projects put together by the Sunlight Foundation (http://sunlightfoundation.com/projects/).

In addition, their developer section (http://sunlightlabs.com/) is full of APIs and datasets for dealing with government transparency data.
Of course not, electricity is not a source of energy and petroleum is so much more than just a source of energy.

Take some time to think about how much stuff is actually made from petroleum these days... it's mind boggling.

For example, your electric batteries would possibly power a wheeled vehicle? What would those wheels be resting on? Conventional tires are made of petroleum!

For oil dependence to go away, mankind either needs to give up the energy and things which are derived from petroleum or find suitable replacements, and that is a monumental challenge at this stage in the game.
I can only imagine what (and who) will be smuggled via that tunnel.

You might be assuming tech-capable users. My concern focuses around those like my parents, uncles, aunts, cousins, friends and acquaintances for whom what happens past the keyboard and mouse is as mysterious as can be. Trying to educate users, at some level, is an exercise in futility. It just isn't going to happen.

The situation here is that someone might trust a company like Google (not picking on them...just a good example of the mechanism), download Chrome and start using it for everything. This can happen at home or the office. By doing this they are exposing themselves at the worst possible level to identity theft and worst, without as much as a warning. It's perplexing, to be honest.

My wife would save emails from services that she subscribed to in order to "have the user id and password handy if I forget". Probably half a dozen emails with plain-text passwords on her machine (deleted now after an explanation). There have to be millions of people with similar issues out there.

I'd say that blaming the user isn't quite right in all cases. The sites and companies that expose their most secure information so easily are the real culprits. Google, are you reading this? Fix Chrome please, this security flaw is bad, bad, bad.

Dunno about others, but the reason I'm not yet on Cablevision's 101/15Mbps plan is that they're charging a non refundable $300 fee to get you hooked up. I'm a software developer that works from home. If I won't do it, what are the chances your average Joe would?
RichCopy is always one of the first tools I install on any of my machines. It's an amazingly powerful tool. About the only thing missing with RichCopy is integration with Explorer Shell.
InternMatch.com. I was in Startup Roots this past year and feel like the majority of interns that I met in the group had found their internships through there.

With that being said, if you're an amazing engineer you can just reach out directly to the founders of startups you'd like to work for. They'll listen.
I guess my first feeling when I see that histogram is ... that's not something I've ever wanted.

Pause button is kinda cool though.
Because any discrepancies could flag corruption, maintaining consistency would require the corruption to be quite wide spread and far reaching into many branches of the government to be successful.

Consider without this kind of system there is considerable amount of opacity that exists between organisational units. Corruption functions well as long as this kind of isolation is maintained for one simple reason: usually in this kind of arrangement, your gain is somebody else's loss.

If the network of corruption is too large you have to spread the gains much too thinly to make it worth the effort. Likewise, the more distant someone in that network is from the originator of said corruption, the more like they are to have very different goals and ideals and therefore disagree with and expose this kind of corruption.

That's why I think this kind of system has a considerable degree of resistance to misreporting of information. Certainly not perfect, but it makes corrupt behaviour much more difficult and risky.
Wow, seeing the pseudocode next to the mathematical representation is really interesting to me. I don't consider myself very good at math but Im decent at programming. This helped me see the closer relationship. I've heard of math described as true programming, this drives it home.

thanks thetabyte?... who are you btw?
While I appreciate the detailed breakdown and analysis of the whole thing, I actually found the original image incredibly easy to understand.

It took a few seconds to grok, likely because I'm using a phone to browse, but I recognised the soccer pitch immediately, followed by direction of play. The heatmap itself was next (I found the colour choice & contrast was perfect) with the 3D bars being the final detail I picked up on and understood.

This whole process took 2-3 seconds, and was completed without any need for a title, description or key.

Basically, I really like the original image.

Finally, the suggested palettes later in the article feel weak to me. They would've ruined the impact of the warmer, sun/fire/heat colours.

Apple caught photoshopping lawsuit evidence (again)
I think this is entirely the wrong attitude. He isn't trying to build a million dollar startup and live on ramen for six years.

There are two types of "quitting your job". The first type quits because he wants to build a startup, or be self-employed in some capacity. The second type quits because the job is stifling and not allowing new growth. It sounds like the OP is type 2 - he wants to learn new skills.

Maybe he'll realize he loves self-employment; maybe he will pick up a new salaried job after this exercise is over. Either way, I think your approach of "Just be passionate man! Who cares about your career!" is shortsighted and dangerous. If you let yourself be consumed by mindless passions, you'll end up hopping from job to job, sucking down the cash before quitting again to throw it away on some new idea.

In short, I think the OP's plan is logical and highly likely to succeed. He will gain new skills and be able to use them for himself or for another employer. Ignore this high octane, venture backed, live on ramen nonsense - it doesn't really apply to your situation.

I notice that file extensions are visible in some of the screenshots. Does that mean they're getting rid of that dumb (IMO) policy of hiding the extensions from users by default? The result was lots of naive users clicking on nekkid-pitcher-of-hot-celeb.jpg.exe because they couldn't see the .exe part, in exchange for...what, exactly?

I think that this may drive certain undesirable behavior (e.g. duplicate story submissions, down-vote capability for new-ish accounts). On the other hand, points derived from the comments you make are probably a better indicator of the quality of your contribution to HN.
While I like the improvements, I am a little disappointed that they are not implementing parallel/multi-threaded copying. It might not be something that a majority of users would need, but it feels like it should be something that should be natively supported by the OS.
Also take into account that the transfer of energy is less efficient for diesel than for chemical batteries (more wasted as heat). So it's not quite as bad as the energy density would suggest, but still pretty bad.

I've had to find apartments in strange (and familiar) cities a few times. Padmapper is by far the nicest tool I've used to do so.
If it's an add-on to your employers software, yeah. Either you need to let them know up front and get their okay, or keep it secret and release it after you quit that day job (and pretend that it was entirely developed after you left the company, and even then you're not safe if you had access to any relevant trade secrets while you were employed).

Even when your contract lets you own the IP that you create on your own time, there's usually a really broad exception for anything that somehow interacts with or competes with the employer's business.

YMMV, IANAL, this is not legal advice. If you're serious about doing it without your employer's blessing, double-check your employment contract and local law (I don't think the law anywhere in the US would protect you in the stated scenario) and hire an attorney.

I think the histogram solves the usability issue where a network transfer is hung up but the "transfer speed" linearly, slowly drops off (because it is calculated as a total average). The only way to verify the transfer previously is to check if the total transfer percent/value changes absolutely.
And they punished those of us who make them visible again, by having the "edit filename" function mix the extension with the filename, even though wanting to change the extension is about 100 times more rare than wanting to change the characters right before the extension.

I've seen a nice version of this in linux somewhere - when you push F2 two boxes come up and the cursor is positioned in the one to the left of the dot but you can move across to it easily.

EDIT: Ah, this is available in windows 7 too. Nice, finally.

Some more constructive ideas, assuming you're really attached to your current job:

* Try pitching your idea to your employer as a new product. You can be a mover and a shaker without launching your own company, and it looks great on your performance review.

* Quit the job and launch your company. Once you have a product, try to get your former employer to buy your new company. You get to make your cool project, you get a fat lump of cash, and you (hopefully) get to go back to your old job.

Chinese PLA video shows cyber-attack software
I've actually encountered this, but I can't say it stumped me at all.. my syntax highlighting made it immediately apparent what would have happened had I tried to build.

A coworker of mine also ran into a similar issue (not realizing something was commented out, thus odd behaviour) with a if 0 .... #endif comment. Vim highlights that correctly too but his emacs setup did not (no idea how stock it was).
Robocopy, while useful, does not have very many of the features of rsync, apart from retries.

I've noticed that the OS X shell does that too (not queue copies that have the same destination device).
Red Hat considering NoSQL/Hadoop acquisition
This guy totally missed out on the east bay. If your idea of cool is bumping into mathematicians/linguists at a coffee shop then Berkeley is hard to beat. BART makes it relatively easy to get in/out of SF (about an hour ride) except at night, the 800 does an okayish job after midnight. It's also absurdly bike-friendly, I've been living here without a car for a while now and I have needed to use zipcar maybe twice. Unlike the south bay, everything you might need is within biking distance.

The other nice thing is that if you're an intern under 21, Berkeley is enough of a college town to entertain you despite that.

If you're the kind of person who finds it hard to "bump into people" then I recommend you structure your life around commuting via public transit. People are already bored and usually willing to have a quick chat, especially if they have a laptop open and working on something neat.
Thanks for your reply. I am familiar with ubuntu and its a great Linux distro. The only problem I have is slow internet speed (i live in a developing country). It feels annoying to download heavy packages e.g Qt and java sdk. I prefer a distro which i have to download it once and comes pre-installed with essential programming packages i.e it should be specific to computer programming.
Wouldn't a rolling average of the last 15 seconds solve that problem?
this somehow reminded me of vernor-vinge's "a fire upon the deep", where dog like creatures (tines) exhibit a group-mind, and share intelligence...

Are multiple large copy jobs common? I can't recall ever doing large copies of two distinct sets of files simultaneously, which makes me wonder when I'd ever use this dialog box. Would be curious to know what their telemetry data shows.

Another thing I think is interesting: the graph will never be intuitive because they've compounded the progress bar with the actual plotting. Thus, fast operations will take up a larger percentage of the graph because during fast operating speeds more progress will have been completed. Conversely, slow periods in the graph will be disproportionately smaller compared to the actual percentage of time that the slow operation took.
Disrupt Yourself
In Windows 7 (maybe Vista too), the "edit filename" function lets you edit the extension, but has only the filename selected. Thus Edit -> start typing -> Enter changes the filename, leaving the extension intact.
A regional news agency says the project is in "research stage", not greenlighted yet.

Windows 7 does what you described in your second paragraph.
This was in California. You have to physically fill out forms every two weeks and get checks mailed to you. My employer was a huge tech firm that laid off 25% of the company. They were actually very helpful in the transition, but they can't work miracles on bureaucracy.
But it's about you, not about everyone else. You can choose what to share and whom to share it with. Any of your "friends" won't know the difference, or care for that matter.

That was my reaction. Syntax highlighting makes syntax errors a breeze to notice.
I want the copy functionality to tell me about conflicts right away, rather than when it starts copying that file. I also want it to continue the non-conflicting files while I'm deciding.

I cannot tell from the video whether Windows 8 does this or not.
Protip: T-mobile has one of the more reasonable data policies.

If you're somewhere with no WiFi, you just plug your phone (in my case, a MyTouch 4G) into your laptop and set it to tethering mode. After hitting your cap (200MB, 1GB, or 2GB), your connection slows down but is still quite usable. No overage charges, no kill switch (but alas, slow video).

Likewise, when you are somewhere with WiFi but no cell phone signal, T-mobile will seamlessly route your calls over your phone's WiFi connection.

I bring this up because people still mention WiFi (in the article in regards to a cafe, and now here in regards to transit) as if it really matters anymore. For $60 a month, you can get 200 Anytime minutes, unlimited messaging, unlimited data, and connectivity everywhere that you have cell phone service; $10 more gives you unlimited calling, too.

Oh, and they have great, patient, helpful customer service. I don't work for them or benefit from this post in any way, I'm just a very satisfied customer.
Clenbuterol- The Wonderful Drug
Clenbuterol is the name on everybody’s lips, these days. It got popular, when it was found in use by many public figures, model and actors, for its effect on the body. It reduces weight and works on musculature. Banned in sports as it also enhances performance because it increases the muscle mass to body mass ratio and thus cuts of fat from the body.

Yeah - I really wanted to make it out to Berkeley but haven't had a chance. What are the places worth checking out? I'll add them.
What do you mean? It showed two batches being copied in parallel. If anything, they should do less in parallel and rather queue up jobs between same disks.
When I've encountered that sort of outsourcing in the past it was called "collaboration" and it was between two individual researchers at the respective institutions. There was no exchange of money and they would both have their names on any resulting papers.

This strikes me as much more "outsource the labor to where it's cheap" sort of thing. The programming team in India if you will.

All of that said, I'm not a researcher, so I suppose I'm not really the target audience. My experience of research is all second hand, though there's a lot of that. Maybe times have changed. I'll bring up the idea with my researcher friends and see what they think.
Ask HN: Need some advice/learning resources on online marketing
I am wondering what approach one should take to plan and execute promotion of their product(s) online. The scenarios I'm interested in are:

1)snowday2011.com like projects where one or two products based on a particular event or hot trend are sold. How to quickly reach the target market, bring in visitors and turn them into customers?

2)Marketing a new brand for clothing line? A clothing line that will start with 10-15 t-shirts based around a particular niche concept.

How to determine the target market? I'm looking for not just visitors but customers who will actually buy the product online(not many shop online in country like India)

How to reach them online? Where to find them? How to approach them? How to make it viral? How to make my visitors/customers promote my product? How to retain them and make a community of customers?
