Nocebo effect:

"The Dark Side of the Placebo Effect: When Intense Belief Kills" ( SEP 14 2011, )
http://www.theatlantic.com/life/archive/2011/09/the-dark-sid...

"If you're still unsure that the nocebo effect could actually lead to premature death, Adler cites one stunning example of the effect from China. A team of researchers found that Chinese Americans die younger than expected "if they have a combination of disease and birth year which Chinese astrology and medicine considers ill-fated." That is to say, if they were born in a year that was astrologically linked to poor lung health, they would die an average of five years earlier from lung-related disease than someone born in some other year with the same disease. Similar effects were not found in the white populations around them. And how much sooner you died depended on the people's "strength of commitment to traditional Chinese culture."

Think about that for a minute. If you were born under a bad sign, you died five years younger from the same diseases as people born under good signs. But only if you believed in Chinese astrology"

From an indie rock musician's standpoint, I could interpret the MVP of a song as many things. A cool sounding riff, an instrumental (song w/o lyrics) or poetry (lyrics w/o instruments).

The quick answer is that my band performs none of those things in a concert setting. The most MVP we perform is a song that maybe doesn't have all of the lyrics worked out or maybe needing another section of music added to it - a work in progress. In our private practice sessions, of course, we build songs from scratch and you could make some comparisons to MVP.

I would compare music to hardware rather than software. You need to have things pretty well worked out before public performance because no one comes to a show to hear you play one riff and most audiences don't care to listen to a boring set full of rock instrumentals and no lyrics.

Also, it is generally difficult to get real-time feedback from an audience while performing rock music. Some audiences just stand and stare at you while bobbing their heads and other audiences jump around so long as there is a beat. You don't have the constant feedback that a comedian has after every joke. Pretty much the only feedback you'll get is that people will leave if you suck, or they will clap a little less after a song if they aren't as entertained. I have to ask my close friends after the show what they think of certain songs.

I don't think any musician creates music for the sole purpose of pleasing the audience. A musician creates and performs music as a means of self-expression. So, in my opinion, MVP and its market testing methodologies are less applicable to musicians.
to be fair your computer isn't exactly pushing around numbers either. your computer does the same thing your nervous system does: push around electrical signals.

His position? He left a comment on a blog....

Happy Haskell hacker
I'm confused—he links to this article in the sentence "marginalized as a Magic player", which clearly lists his name... http://gizmodo.com/5833787/my-brief-okcupid-affair-with-a-wo...

How is he trying to stay anonymous?
Apple papers?

http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sec...
He was trying to say, leading from the preceding sentence:

"[For dogmatic people] there's no distinction between [acclaimed artist/thinker] and [Bible-thumper/wanker]. [but there is for me]"

You might have the causation exactly backwards for friends. I've heard of cases where the causation is backwards for geography too (Mormons move to Utah, evangelicals move to Colorado, Muslims move to Dearborn).

In general, sure, faiths are correlated with original geography and race and class and what have you. That isn't, however, a well-formed argument against their ultimate truth or untruth. It might be a well-formed argument about how they spread.
I love seeing this. C++ is one of those things taken for granted because it's been there for so long, in a sort of love it or hate it way.
Good to see all those C++0x changes are coming into shape and being implemented.

As much as I love newer technologies like python or JS, we still need things like C++ to get the cooler stuff running on metal. It's great to see improvements on this areas.
There is actual competition in the market that makes the ISP's and telcoms push the tech capabilities.

As for adoption, I doubt that is necessary. Get a job here, apply for temporary work permit or citizenship and you're in. Jobs are dead easy to get if you are in IT - almost every company is actively looking for people now.
You said web projects? That's right. In corporate world the ratio is around 90% ^_^

And everyone should be happy - without BS projects jobless ratio among mediocre coders and ctrl-c-ctrl-v sysadmins will be much higher.)
They may be bullshit to you but they are not bullshit to your customers.

The free market sucks, especially when you're competing with 3rd world countries. The only way to improve that is to make sure that the standard of living in those countries goes up sufficiently high that everybody gets to make a living. Give it a thousand years or so. Meanwhile enjoy your cheap goods from China.

Guess what, building infrastructure is really boring. And to the people that employ freelancers (like you and many others) you and your product are not the goal but simply a means to an end. And that end may be boring as hell but it probably makes a lot more money than freelancing writing software does.

If you want to practice software as an 'art' then you should get really good at it, rather than to be mediocre and to bitch anonymously about how terrible your customers are.

The great thing about freelancing is that you are under no obligation to take on a particular client. But you are under the obligation of once you do take on a particular client to treat them with dignity and respect and to deliver the job with a minimum of fuss, on time and within the budget. And even just that can take some skill, even if not all of it is technical.
Amazon Appstore goes global: available now in Europe, Australia and India
Yeah. But something that might look like an insignificant corner case to a browser vendor might mean that your own SSL/TLS app is 100% pwned.

Even then, unless you complete this project in 10 hours, it's not worth it. And by "complete" I mean completely done, no more back-and-forth, no more bug fixing, a complete sign-off. I almost never see it go perfectly like that, and that's why I'm hourly. Want me to fix the color of that button six times, because you feel like a designer? No problem, but you're paying for it.
You forget bandwidth. With local servers it is free. ^_^

Well TLS is supposed to protect you from that sort of thing. They fixed it in TLS 1.1 and 1.2.
Sorry, I wasn't saying "there's no difference", I was lamenting that there are those who think "there's no difference."

I don't disagree with pretty much anything you've said. There's a huge geographic and societal component to religion, and that seems...undemocratic? I guess it would seem more 'fair' that every individual would arrive at their worldview purely from a 'rational' standpoint devoid of influence.

But of course it doesn't work that way for any worldview religious or otherwise. It never could work that way. Even those of us who fancy we have an 'examined life' and are attempting to be intellectually honest come at these questions with an existing interpretive framework inherited from family and society. And I don't think this is any less true of atheism or agnosticism than religion.

Nevertheless we try, right? Try to be objective, try to engage questions with honesty and courage and be as reflective as we can. Both negative and positive experiences with religion influence this. What's strange is I've met a number of Chinese over the last few years who grew up under communist, atheist rule and are now disenchanted with it, and deeply curious about religion and Christianity in particular.

What does it mean? Not sure. What to do? Not sure there either. I seem to have faith, you don't. I don't know what that means. I see the world a certain way, I can't help it. I like exploring and articulating that worldview, I want to have as much integrity within it as I can, I know that there are certain points of view that I disagree with, but ultimately, to quote David Byrne -- how did I get here? That remains mysterious and pretty humbling to me.

Yes, TLS 1.0 is almost identical to SSL 3.0. The name change occurred when Netscape handed stewardship of the protocol to the IETF.
Feeling Dirty on Hacker News
We get it, this has been discussed over and over, Android 3.0 is not open source because the source was not released, can we move on now? Google will be releasing the source code to Ice Cream Sandwich, but for now, Android 3.0 is not open source. We didn't need Richard Stallman to tell us that.
Wow I got downvoted for this. Interesting.
Which ones do, I wonder?
The problem is, #3 is a huge unknown area. I've had good and bad experiences with #3. When I started doing contracting as a student, I could afford to take those crappy $1000 14-day assignments just because I didn't know what the hell I was getting into. I didn't have a track record so I figured I couldn't demand higher pay and I should try to get whatever -- I think quite a few newbie developers get into this mess too. Just because you're a nobody doesn't mean you should accept a job at a measly $15/hr rate.

Usually those $1000 snowball scoped projects take forever for the owners to pay up.
...Do Not Respect Your Software Freedom.

Note that (pretty important) word left out there?
Yeah. Linkbait.
Oh, come on. the same bullshit as openssh 0-day. Have you ever tried to imagine how many audits have been done on SSL protocol and most common implementations by all those corporations, banks, and other organizations with a lots of money and time? And how many individuals spend weeks with sources and debuggers and wiresharks?
Unless you're complete idiot (who uses weak ciphers or allows re-configuration) current SSL implementations will suit you well.

I strongly disagree with one small bit of this: "Hit the job boards and see what the largest technology need is and get to work learning it."

This is optimizing for finding jobs available via job boards. These jobs generally disproportionately suck, in the way that applicants from job boards also disproportionately suck. Do not willingly sign up to be either participant in two blind geriatric elephants attempting to tango.

Instead, survey the hiring market which is actually decent to be in, where decisionmakers hire people directly. This does require talking to people, but only a little bit. "Why hello, CEO I just met at a networking event. Quick question: what can't you hire for right now?"

The answer you'll get to this question is going to sound a lot more like "devs who speak SEO" than "Enterprise Java monkey." I've been both. One is much, much better than the other in terms of material and non-material rewards to working.
Ask HN: Scale of real-life DDoS attacks?
What was the biggest DDoS attack you have ever encountered? How many gigabits per second? Packets per second? How many unique source IP addresses? How long did it last?

The peak number of real (non-spoofed) source IPs is also very interesting. I wonder whether it is feasible to automatically maintain a blacklist of offending IPs that managed to establish a TCP connection (and are thus real).
i want to like rms but you get the sense that he doesn't live in the real world whenever you read his stuff.

I mean, seriously, Android is about a lightyear more open than iOS and there are super good reasons Honeycomb is not out. An OEM in China would promptly put out some sort of crappy phone that uses it and wrecks the Android brand.
Just another way of thinking this out.

Cloud essentially creates an abstraction (self or hosted) into units which allow for seamless fail over the of the underlying hardware.

E.g. if one computing unit fails things switch automatically. This is where a cloud is essentially different from a VPS I feel.

As mentioned, after a certain point a public cloud maybe expensive, however, a similar private cloud could be created using openstack etc..

"Yet, Dawkins continues to treat religion as a philosophy, and attempts to tackle it philosophically. As many philosophers have pointed out, this is not Dawkins' strong point and he comes off sounding like an extremely misinformed amateur at best, and an inflammatory pundit at worst."

I've heard this before but I don't know much about religion or philosophy so to me Dawkins usually seems to make sense. Can you explain why you think he comes off as an amateur?

Awareness in Software Development Makes Business Effective 
To make strenuous effort in the crowd of online market is very hard. As we know that business companies are growing at considerable rate. It's not easy to make presence in the market. As the global economy picking up fast, companies are moving towards custom software development services.
I _never_ stated that Dawkins and someone who circumcises unwilling females should be compared. I never said all fundamentalists are equal. I used the word fundamentalist liberally, as I have explained elsewhere.

The comparison was made because both religious evangelists and Dawkins both believe they know what is best for someone else and would like to force that upon them.

And yes, you should be allowed to hold you own beliefs, no matter how wacky they might be, and still be respected. And you do. They mightn't be as wild or deep rooted as the world being created in six days, but you still have them. You might find that many of your beliefs aren't based on reality, or scientifically provable.
> but remember that attack came after a number of less-than-earth-shattering releases from them around padding oracles in other circumstances.

So, that attack is less valid because it was gradually developed. That phrase doesn't make any sense.
Related to your off-topic comment: read the comment on the article site. :)

...and in fact, it does so: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.0/mm/swapfile.c#L2117 (and has since kernel 2.6.29).

Additionally, if you set the SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD flag to swapon(2), it'll issue TRIMs for swap space that is freed at runtime. You'll need a pretty recent /sbin/swapon to support that flag, though.

Also, you could look into long polling using redis or something.
If I needed a resume, I would A/B test it, but this would be theatre. You'd need huge amounts of views and a decently high conversion rate to pull it off. Neither of these suggests a happy hiring process.

The main reason to A/B test the resume is to be the kind of guy who A/B tests his resume, which I guarantee you will push the right kinds of buttons at some companies.
It won't make a difference - in both cases, the swap code accesses the underlying block device directly, and is responsible for TRIM. (The swap code does issue TRIMs though, since kernel 2.6.29).

Is he the only multi-million CEO willing to speak out about this?

Or is the protest somehow in his realm that we're hearing about it?

Either way, there's little doubt that one $100 million CEO outweighs a lot of scruffy students. And in this case, amounts to something sadly futile. Even if he'd just got one friend CEO ... "and this is my friend Liz: she's a $150 million CEO, listen to what she thinks."
I like it, very straightforward. It is screen sharing though, which isn't quite what I was looking for.
Mr Case is not the famous Magic guy from the OKCupid article. Mr Case was just trying to impress you by sayingg he is like the Magic guy. The actual Magic guy did a AMA on Reddit is is a much more pleasant and well-adjusted fellow than Mr Case.

Stallman never misses an opportunity to bring up the Linux vs. GNU/Linux distinction.
The CEO probably submitted a Word resume.

The CEO probably doesn't even have a resume in the sense that you're thinking of. He is playing a different game entirely, where all decisionmaking authority rests with a handful of identifiable people who he is selling directly. You want to be playing his game.

What has RMS written that is not real?
He knows that some non-free software is compelling and profitable, but he argues that in the long run of is unstainable. And when you look at Lion and Metro and Google Apps' only half-baked Data Liberation Front and compare to what RMS wrote 20 years ago, it is clear he is very much in the real world, unfortunately.

Is Android the least evil? Probably. But it is still not free. And RMS doesn't say you mustn't Android and whatever else; he just days that you shouldn't if you want to protect and promote software freedom, and he is a living model of an example free software lifestyle, for better or worse.
