CERN is no longer a European Organisation. Actually, it never really was ("who ordered that?" for those who know CERN history). Since nothing really new has emerged in HEP in the last few decades, CERN is trying to grow into an international lab, as opposed to European, mostly for scaling/funding purposes (USA, Japan, Russia, China have actually built most of LHC: Russian in kinds (steel, calos, beryllium etc.), Japanese semi (HAMA PMT, trackers etc), USA hw/sw (intel, Oracle, RedHat, DDN, Force10, DLT, FPGA) and Chinese assembly (any SKU built over 50 pcs-s)).

And since theoretical and applied physics needs ever more PR to get attention, they are also trying to dress up as a technology provider hub, forgetting to mention, that most of what is there is COTS. The ("management") problem is not unlike the one that "killed" NASA (which it was modelled upon in terms of matrix management).

"How should we make it attractive for them [young people] to spend 5,6,7 years in our field, be satisfied, learn about excitement, but finally be qualified to find other possibilities?" -- H. Schopper

What an euphemism. Almost like a scam.

btw: .il was already quite present on every level, obviously, so this is just a formality -- Turkey is somewhat different in this respect.
Very neat. Based on the work of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsing_expression_grammar
Technically, there are parental consent clauses in the bill. Google is not willing to implement them. It probably is a cost issue.

I do think the commercial is ill-advised given their policy since it shows a use case, in an uplifting way, that they don't want to support.
Interestingly, I don't know a single person signed up for any of those services. All of my friends and family use Netflix, Redbox, and/or Hulu|Hulu Plus.

I wonder how much they're paying to build/maintain those services and if they're actually profitable.
I could probably rhapsodize about the insights of Mad Men all day.

Something I find interesting is that Mad Men and Breaking Bad are superficially different shows, but actually extremely similar. Ignore the radically different backdrops and they're both about out-of-control egos and "men at work" drama. The difference is that one setting involves alcoholism and advertising and people who fall out just get fired, while the other involves methamphetamine and murder and failing (for Walter) means death. Mad Men is erotic, Breaking Bad is thanatoptic; but the shows are two different takes on the same society.

I don't know if this correspondence is intentional on the part of AMC's directors, but Mad Men and Breaking Bad are, to me, clear A-and-Z bookends of the American Era.

It's only after that happens when the soldier has time to process what they've done that they run into trouble. I saw a documentary on this and it was talking about how there's a real disconnect between the how of a soldier's actions and the why with the increasingly effective training.

Soldiers and policemen have a terrible job. For psychopaths (2%) killing another person is easy. For everyone else, it's extremely difficult (even in self-defense) and something people generally avoid. Which means that an untrained normal person drawing against a psychopath is likely to be shot dead. This may not be new knowledge, but 85% of guns issued in the American Civil War were never fired.
I'm little confused that this is a popular news at HN. They fight for Internet stuff but they also deny that there was an Holocaust in Germany.

For me this is pretty bad news to hear that they will get into the parliament.

Dedup also helps with big media files that are identical across many users.

I'm pretty sure Bitcasa has said they avoid uploading known duplicates at all, which suggests the hash (either pre- or post- encryption) is shipped up first.
Cross account deduplication has nothing to do with making improvement client side, it's all about keeping storage costs down for the provider.

The only type of deduplication that matters to consumers is account specific deduplication, and that saves no data for the provider unless you charge for non deduplicated storage.
He's also saying that no bank should be too big to fail.
Yarrrrr! Still voting green, but good job!
The government's policy is that anyone who has under 13 users must be transparent with their parents, and post clear privacy policies. It doesn't prohibit under 13.

It's G+'s policy to prohibit under 13 G+ users, and Google's policy to handle G+ related policy the way they do.

From the linked act:

The primary goal of COPPA and the Rule is to place parents in control over what information is collected from their young children online. The Rule was designed to protect children under age 13 while accounting for the dynamic nature of the Internet. The Rule applies to operators of commercial websites and online services directed to children under 13 that collect, use, or disclose personal information from children, and operators of general audience websites or online services with actual knowledge that they are collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from children under 13.
Operators covered by the Rule must:

1. Post a clear and comprehensive privacy policy on their website describing their information practices for children’s personal information;

2. Provide direct notice to parents and obtain verifiable parental consent, with limited exceptions, before collecting personal information from children;

3. Give parents the choice of consenting to the operator’s collection and internal use of a child’s information, but prohibiting the operator from disclosing that information to third parties;

4. Provide parents access to their child’s personal information to review and/or have the information deleted;

5. Give parents the opportunity to prevent further use or online collection of a child’s personal information;

6. Maintain the confidentiality, security, and integrity of information they collect from children.

I find the ATi/AMD FOSS driver story bit sad, considering the state of the drivers today. I feel that the community kinda betrayed AMD there by not managing to create high quality drivers even when given the docs they had craved for so long. I remember the discussions on /. and elsewhere before this; "Just give us the docs, and we'll write the drivers".
We at SpiderOak in fact do not cross-account deduplicate AT ALL and provide a full zero-knowledge environment with no access to client side encryption key info.

We feel that the possible cost savings involved with deduplicating data across user accounts is just not worth the inherent security risks.
To be fair that was only one member and that member has been thrown out of the party a long time ago.
I like RMS view on piracy : "attacking ships is very bad, but helping your friends and your neighbours is good"

The Pirate Party uses that term in a humorous way. It all started as a joke after the Pirate Bay was attacked in a court of law.

I was asking myself the same question and my answer was Draw![1]. I made this little app to learn more about Redis and html5 canvas element.

I wrote model/helper classes to wrap repetitive redis code, you can check the source at Draw! github repository[2].

Anyway after this experience I learnt Redis is a great tool but it doesn't fit good as a datastore for "everything" you should store for your app.

Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy is a great place to start. Of course, it's as much an introduction to his thinking as anyone else's, but it's accessible and thoughtful. Memorable for the phrase "existence is not a predicate".
I'd like to see this in the Peters projection, but otherwise quite fun!
I spotted two mistakes:

it says somewhere "thought it need not be red"; should be "though".

Proposition 4.022 should be called 4.002, according to my edition and another edition on the web I checked.

Perhaps the Gutenberg edition you used is not as properly proofread as one would hope.

Mentioning the source on the site is probably a good idea, for those not inclined to open up the source and hunt for it.

I believe they being there at the parlament makes people talk about it and eventually the other parties need to clarify their position on it. Until a bigger party sides by them they might keep growing forcing the others to act.
I think it does not have to mean "developing something hard in software", but more like "finding an unsolved problem and using software to solve it." It does not have to be hard to solve in the software side. I guess the hardest part is finding the right problem to solve!
Thanks for the suggestions, hadn't heard of those two.

Does anyone have any insight into why painters are less common among hackers than other artistic persuits, such as music?

I've never met anyone who bridged visual art with anything tech-related, but composers, singers, pianists, orchestra members... hell yes.

Is it just that painters are less common that musicians and that ratio stays true in the tech world?

I don't think it's money on the table. Sports leagues know where there bread is buttered and they extract a ton of cash out of their fans. The Netflix model is just an order of magnitude less profitable and would cannibalize their existing channels.
I think you will find that the roots of latitude predate the metric system by quite a long way. They are quite different topics.
This issue was raised when the ad came out, and there is a distinct difference. The Dear Sophie account is not an account that is used by a child, it is one that is used by a child's father, and therefore allowed.

That's one of the papers Global scaling theory is based on. There's a long story on how Hertmut Mueller as a researcher in Soviet Russia did some research for the gov. that was classified etc. They even had some talks on some german Uni's with some presentations.
Keywords for ggl would be:
- global scaling theory
- g-com
- interplanetary communication
- communicating without el.mag. waves
etc.

The papers were published in some alternative energy, bio suff, water memory etc. things german magazine. As to why aren't such to be profound findings published in a serious sci magazine, H.Mueller stated some dislikes about nature, sciam etc. magazines. They even have a site, they are prepared to educate you on this wonderful magic theory if u give them some money...
There is no language that's so good that it's better to wait for it to be released than to write working code today.
"Privateers" and "mercenaries" have a long history, and more recently "Private Security Contractors" and "Private Military Companies" are widely used.

There are also entities which can provide electronic attacks against networks and servers, as well as various entities that provide defenses against these attacks.

And there are those entities which provide for information and propaganda distribution for both private and governmental interests, as well those that can provide astro-turfing, sock-puppeting, trolling and other services, and of course entities that provide the analysis to detect and potentially thwart these information-related efforts and to reduce the effects of these attacks.

Pirates endorsed as agents of a sovereign nation were known as privateers, not pirates.
No. It has to do with how coordinates were calculated before we had good data on the Earth's oblation. Latitude was calculated based on the solar elevation (measured by sextant) at noon. For example, at 40 degrees north (by definition) the sun will be at 50 degrees at noon on an equinox.

Longitude is a different story; it's relatively recent that we've been able to calculate that. Sailors in the 17th century had sextants and solar tables and could figure out their latitude easily, but had no idea where they were in terms of longitude.
Any tips on where to post that kind of a position?
Krav Maga just to add one that is getting famous in some european countries. :)
the biggest win by far is media files and other large assets like game files or large data sets that many, many people will have duplicate copies of. Even with a pretty low installed base 98%-100% of people's iTunes storage will be deduped. OS files are a big win too, really very very little (by block volume) on most people's drives is unique.
A single quality show does not make a service. HBO has a good chance, but it would probably provide an anchor brand to a WB service. You need the catalog size also. It is likely that quality shows that don't come from a company with an extensive catalog (e.g. creator-owned production) will be Netflix's best source of material.

> But certainly the client needs to know something about the base resources

Yes, it needs to understand how they're represented, what types of links they might have to other resources, etc.

A good example is the Atom Publishing Protocol (RFC 5023). It's specified entirely in terms of representation formats, resource types, and the actions that can be performed upon those resources.
I don't think this is valid criticism of the party in its current state. If you can't give any evidence other than a post from two years ago based on a Twitter message (!), we can assume that, if someone denied the Holocaust, that was the opinion of a single individual. All established parties have nutters; what counts is how the parties deal with them once the nutters make their nutty views public.
I can confirm that throughout Australia and Asia that getting your car washed while you shop is a very ordinary thing.

Almost every shopping center around my place in Aus has this service.
No - one degree of latitude still varies. One minute of latitude is a "sea mile", which varies. A nautical mile is 1852 meters which is the closest round number to the mean sea mile.
In what manner is HTTP "unreliable" that IIOP isn't?
You are quite literally comparing apples to bananas.

Bananas don't keep. Apples can be kept in the proper environment for a year.

Bananas grow year-round in the tropical climates whence they are sourced. Most apples are sourced locally and only grow in late summer/early fall.

If I want to buy an apple in June, the only way to do it is to buy one that's several months old.
It's a good story to reference when the FOSS community decrys a closed-source vendor, unable to understand why they do not wish to cooperate.

Just like any other organization the FOSS community has a reputation. If we desire action, we need to cultivate a positive one. A track record of successful opening abd development of closed source would really help cracking some of the other closed-source nuts.
In my opinion, developer.mozilla.org has the best online documentation on common web technologies for programmers.
Ahhh, sorry, I guess I didn't take "A beheading for those that have fouled." as literal. And somehow I didn't notice your last paragraph either...

Tapping is a mistranslation of "sniffing".

FWIW, note STOMP as an alternative to AMQP. Apache ActiveMQ and JBoss HornetQ implement it.
Those services are free... As long as you have a cable/dish subscription to them.

They are also fairly new, so give it some time to get around.

Personally, I think the current Netflix stock crash has nothing to do with the subscription "loss" noise going around, and everything to do with the above (and other) competition.
The German political spectrum is interesting to watch at the moment. There are substantial changes, with real consequences on all levels. So far I think this is democracy doing its job well. Thus established parties, like the "liberals" (FDP) and the Greens, have neglected topics like data privacy, net neutrality. The creation of a new party, like the Greens in the eighties and the Pirates in the aughts, is a drastic sign that the agenda needs updating. Let's hope that the German political system is stable enough to sustain substantive changes to the political landscape without instability.
Apologies, I actually didn't know that Steve Blank was the source. Will update post.
Like most words we use for business, strategy is also off course a term from the military. But people confuse the terms "strategy, tactics, technology, operations" and call it all strategy.

If you have 500.000 soldiers, someone has to think about how to use this force in a smart way. Otherwise it will be a mess and nobody knows what to do or end up fight each other.

There are not a lot of people in an army who can define the strategy. Within the hierarchy there are levels of strategy but then also: people executing > people thinking.

In the corporate world, this is the other way around. Following the Dilbert principle, organisations are full of people "analyzing" and "researching" without any mandate or power. This results in endless meetings without any purpose. But it sounds acceptable if they call it "strategy".
It looks like the MLB is positioning itself to cut out the middle man when streaming becomes the primary avenue. They have quite the impressive operation.

Don’t be so f*king strategic
In one of his three (3) lines of actual- money- earning- businesses, he managed to factor the "product programming" component down to a kind of minima, allowing him to channel all his effort into engineering his marketing systems. As a result, he was able to use a program that can charitably be described as "Hello World" hooked up to a random number generate to eclipse his full time salary.

If you can't see the pure hack value in that, you may be commenting on the wrong message board.

The conclusion you think you can draw about Patrick and "programming" from the nature of his first product: you can't draw that conclusion.

I'm writing this not to offend Patrick (he could care less about threads like this), but because you are taking exactly the wrong lesson about what Patrick did and then broadcasting it to the rest of the community. Stop, please? :|

I'm a systems programmer, since 1995. The list of YC companies that involve "real programming" to me is pretty short. Dropbox qualifies, but how many from the rest of their class would? Which is to say: "technical impressiveness is both subjective and a stupid metric for a business".
They do but with the metric system it was the first time since the Greek stadia that an earth measure was used to define units of measurements as compared to the body (feet, inches etc). They are a bit of a recursive topic, each defining each other in a way (besides geometry calculations, which are totally theoretical).
I wrote the persistent-mongoDB library which exposes an enumerator interface. It was actually fairly straightforward to hook up MongoDB to persistent's enumerator interface because MongoDB's driver already exposes a cursor which is essentially the same thing.

It is extra work to use persistent's enumerator interface though.
I think these are terrible reasons for learning a new language. You are trying to do a Keynesian Beauty Contest[1] wherein you want to pick the language that other people think is the most beautiful. But then you are going to spend your precious, precious time on that language, and then maybe even dedicate >40 hours a week of your life to that language.

So I think you should find the language that you love to program in first. If that's PHP, well, you're insane, but the heart knows no logic.

You're not going to find a language you love by playing it safe and asking what other people are doing. That eliminates truly mind-stretching exercises (like learning Erlang or Haskell or Clojure).

That said, if you are really looking for a language that is going to be super relevant to the next five years, you couldn't go wrong with JavaScript. Learn it in a deep way; become a master of closures and asynchrony, and try out important, opinionated libraries like jQuery, Underscore, or Backbone. If you are used to languages like PHP it should be a mind-stretcher too.

Stuff like "obtain verifiable parental consent" is so unfeasible and tangled for any web service with any significant amount of users it is tantamount to prohibiting under 13.

I am open to suggestions for changes, since some of the books are older there are multiple versions or translations available. Some of these are freely available as well - Franklin's autobiography and Caesar's Gallic Wars, for example.

I haven't read any of these particular books but I have read a great deal of other history books covering some of the same topics... this is a very good list though and now my to-read stack is going to be even higher :)
