Doing this operation require quite an effort. And you do not really know how long it will take till this root access will be fixed (you can not really trust random vendor on hackers forum, this post could be searchable through google by mysql admins, some internal audit program could detect intrusion.)

So easiest to monetize - insert malware to put trojan on visitors machines. Next - hack in to their bank accounts, or use these as part of bot net or whatever. You basically got highly visited place to put classic malware.

The point is... To do such things as replacing mysql source flawlessly is hard, do not underestimate efforts needed to do that.
You sure there couldn't have been an algorithm you could have optimized instead of just throwing more resources at the problem? Your solution seems awfully real world.
Hacker News doesn't have like buttons or other widgets all over the Internet...
how do you guys handle the editors?
like I was thinking about a different idea where I need multiple people to handle the projects. it seems quite a lot of work to either code a complete backend or distribute the stuff manually.
Lots of words without a message. We don't need someone to tell us HTML sucks...

It's like saying "this API sucks! We'll fix it with a new API"
This is what really matters to me. If they don't delete messages or posts while I still have an account, than who cares. But if I decide to close my account permently, which I did yesterday, then why should they keep all the data they have for me. It's no help for me, it's not convientent in any way. It seems like the only reason they would keep it would be for their own use.
"I work predominantly with server-side, interpreted languages, and I just don't run into the bottlenecks and performance problems that Big O-knowledge seems to mitigate."

I tend to think of programming tasks being split into two major categories: applications programming and systems programming.

My definition of these terms: applications programming is writing software to be used by a normal person. Systems programming is writing software to be used by another programmer. (These definitions may be a little different from how these terms are commonly used.)

From your self description, you seem to land pretty squarely on the application programming side of that divide. For most application programming tasks, getting good performance consists mostly of selecting libraries, databases, web servers, languages, etc. with the performance characteristics your application requires, and building your application on top of them.

The system programmer is the one writing those libraries, etc. and so those performance requirements fall squarely on them.

So I would say that as long as you stick to applications programming, algorithmic ignorance probably isn't a major problem. But a company like Palantir needs systems programmers (per my definition above, even if the "clients" are just other developers within the company) which is why they need to ask algorithms questions in their interviews.
It's a really stupid move for both services, Spotify and MOG. Some users don't have Facebook accounts for whatever reason (suspension, dislike of Facebook, no need for it, etc.), and this prevents them from becoming potential customers of the music services.
Now if only it was easier for said PhDs to get access to said data.

Actually, on second thought, that's a bit horrifying.
I'm still using FaceForward with Facebook version 3.4.4, and that's worked out well for me so far.
But if this discovery is true then there is a lot we don't know about neutrinos. For all we know they could be dark matter, and there is no other particle.

For example if they are a type tachyon, then the closer to c they are the less energy they contain, this would actually make them very cold.

(Personally I doubt they do exceed c, but I do think that they are actually dark matter, only created via some process that keeps them slow.)
No that's for setting cookies, so that website A can't set cookies on your machine while you're visiting website B.

What I'm talking about is the ability to limit when cookies as sent out with requests. Privacy wary users could perhaps have their browser set so that for example Facebook cookies are not sent to Facebook just because you're visiting a website that has code from Facebook on it, but only when you're actually browsing Facebook.

Welcome to the press...

And I agree, Facebook's app is bloody awful. Crashes randomly, sometimes doesn't load for unspecified reasons, and it randomly logs me out and forces me to log back in.

I deleted my comment because I realized I'd posted hastily without noticing you were the one saraid216 was replying to. So trying to convince you that HTML, JS, and CSS aren't really those sorts of primitives either would be kind of a weird effort, since that's the position you've already taken.

Ask HN: opinion on WSGR (lawyers)
This is a throwaway account. I'm a regular HN user with 3 years of activity, please bear with me on this anonymous post.

We're currently in process of incorporating our company (a c-corp) and got a recommendation from a fellow entrepreneur regarding one law firm we should use called "Wilson Sonsini" (WSGR - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson_Sonsini_Goodrich_%26_Rosati). After talking to them, the impression we get is they're very expensive (e.g. charging 5k just for the incorporation - which can be deferred for 1 year, however). They also take around 1% in equity. The other option we have is a less expensive/famous lawyer (of course we could also go solo, but we'd rather pay to have everything 100%, so "no lawyer" is not an option we'd like to explore).

So I'm writing this to know whether anyone knows about these guys, have any opinion on their practice, know if it helps to go for really expensive guys like these in an early stage (we're currently looking to raise a seed round for our 1-year-old, not yet profitable startup). One thing I hear is that these kinds of firms can help making connections (even finding an investor), but that sounds more like marketing than a fact to me.

Does anyone have an experience to share? Any thoughts would be HIGHLY appreciated. We don't want to overspend in an area that would bring us no benefits, but we also don't want to underspend just for the sake of saving a couple thousand dollars...
How anyone from Facebook could make those statements with a straight face is beyond me. In my opinion, Facebook has a serious credibility problem.
Give it a few weeks. It has an unfortunate tendency to degrade over time.
Interesting, but: citation needed.
This seems to be the path taken by Paul Graham and Robert Morris (just to name an obvious example most readers here will know). Because they knew a lot about Computer Science (and Lisp), they were able to take an approach to building their software and business that their competitors would have never considered. I'm guessing their knowledge of "science, philosophy, history, art, etc." played a big part in their approach, as well.

Which is to say, I think you're on the right track if you don't just want to follow the popular trends, but want a chance to do something new in a way that no one has even considered yet. Which certainly sounds a lot more fun, if nothing else.
NJ gov moves to consolidate medical education
In the next decade, we'll see machines barge into areas of the economy that we'd never suspected possible—they'll be diagnosing your diseases, dispensing your medicine, handling your lawsuits, making fundamental scientific discoveries, and even writing stories just like this one.

That's really, really optimistic. The only one which seems plausible (and probably a great idea in terms of eliminating human error) in the reasonably near term is dispensing medicine. As in taking a clearly encoded prescription from a verified doctor and dispensing precisely the drug indicated. That still, though, won't eliminate the pharmacist, just a few of the technicians.

As for diagnosing diseases, they were working on expert systems to do that since the 70's. It has hope to be a great tool, but the doctor is still responsible for interpreting the statements of the patient, recognizing symptoms, and feeding the correct data into the system.

I don't see skilled knowledge workers being threatened for quite awhile. If I were going to spread FUD about automation, I would be pointing at RedBox and saying that it's paving the way toward automating low-end service jobs.
"And earlier this year, Facebook discontinued the practice of obtaining browsing data about Internet users who had never visited Facebook.com, after it was disclosed by Dutch researcher Arnold Roosendaal."

I'm going to trust my gut on this one. I just get an uneasy feeling from their track record of 'mishaps' and the excuses that follow. There is a lot of stories that don't get enough attention or make enough people think...

Facebook might be called BigBrotherBlue when people look back one day. BigBrotherBlue is always watching.
How is that any different to Adobe releasing a patch? Chrome updates a darn site more often than Adobe products do. So surely this is a problem regardless who releases?

Cool service!

To echo a few other comments, I'd love to see examples. Specifically, I hope examples could explain the following:

1) What kind of changes are suggested? Spelling corrections? Grammar corrections? Improved sentence structure? Improved paragraph structure? Some combination of these? Something else?

2) What's the difference between good vs. great vs. excellent? The quality of the proofreader? The amount of time spent proofreading? The number of times something is proofread? A concrete example would be very helpful.

Also, I think showing a list of the types of documents you can proofread would be helpful. It might just be me, but when I saw "document" I started thinking about college essays or work-related documents like letters of reference. Then I saw a testimonial that mentioned blog posts and thought "oh yeah, I could use this service for those as well!" You might miss some customers who don't realize your service is very open-ended.

I wonder what would happen if google blacklisted all facebook.com URLs. when I search for things, the first or second link is usually a company or fan FB page and if those were removed from Google's index, I wonder if that would have any affect on this graph.

Another thought, FB has become my IM... I spend a majority of time on there chatting, not clicking from page to page so FB's display ad's would be mush less effective to users like myself because the time I spend using there platform to IM is irrelevant/less valuable in relation to google sites.
You can also build the heap from the bottom up and change fix_heap a little which altogether is faster and simpler (thanks wiki):

fix_heap = (y, size) ->
loop
y1 = 2*y+1
if y1 >= size then break
if y1 + 1 < size && VA.gt(y1 + 1, y1)
y1++
if VA.lt(y, y1)
VA.swap(y, y1)
y = y1
else
break

for x in [VA.length >> 1 ... -1] by -1
fix_heap(x, VA.length)

for x in [VA.length-1 ... 0] by -1
VA.swap(x, 0)
fix_heap(0, x)

My preference would be that any developer for any job should be able to write functional, and (fairly) bug-free code.

Then I would hope they have a good sense of usability, if they are writing user facing code. And I would hope they have a good sense of algorithms and other aspects of scalability, if they are writing server side or systems code.
This is getting way OT but I can assure you the odds of him becoming even an occasional PGA Tour player are not even remotely as good as they were for him to make an MLB roster (of course, at the time he retired from basketball).

It's a strawman arguement.

You can't substitute grades for money. Because there are more drivers than just 'success' in "the real world"

In reality... The people who were getting "F"s would be earning no money, so they'd all starve, their families would starve... You really think they'll just think "well I won't do anything, cause I don't like how this system works".

Also, you are running the test on a group of people who have been conditioned into the capitalist way of thinking, of course they find socialism unsustainable, just as socialists find capitalism unsustainable.

Run an inverse capitalist experiment and tell the class "I'm only going to give these 2 guys here As and the rest of you will get C-s regardless how hard you work because their dads paid me some $$$" -- See how well the class goes then.

Agreed. The whole "experiment" reads like more like a politically-themed chain letter--the kind you'd get from a particularly eccentric aunt who found their way onto Facebook--than an actual exercise in sociology.
I've read a few non-canonical writings from that time (I'm a Christian). The most interesting orthodox writings are probably the Didache and the Shepherd of Hermas. Among the unorthodox writings, probably the Gospel of Thomas and the Sophia of Jesus Christ. The Sophia of Jesus Christ being particularly, erm, "interesting".
why those quizz interview sux is simple:
anyone can look up the questions, learn them in 2 weeks of time (going slowly) if they've any kind of basic programming knowledge.
so basically the questions are wasting the interviewed person's time.

if the person fails that test, it means they just didnt care much about that job. but i'm pretty sure any skilled interviewer can figure that out through a much quicker process.

Only in America could Obama be called a socialist. In most other countries of the world, his policies and platforms would be considered slightly RIGHT of center.

A socialist would have:

- nationalized the banks instead of bailing them out.

- cut the insurance companies out of health care instead of bringing in a health care plan very similar to the one proposed by the republicans in the 90s.

- called for increased taxation on corporations to balance the deficit

- immediately pulled out of Iraq & Afghanistan.

There are not a lot of things I dislike more than having to create a new account for every new webservice out there, even just to try it out. But at the same time, in the age of datamining I feel even more uneasy about cross-logins. So even if I had a facebook account, which I don't, I would not want to use if for anything but facebook.
> I would love to see a good source on the "circulating around the time of Jesus" claim. I've never been able to track down anything credible on that front.

Me too. The earliest writings I know of are Paul's letters and possibly the Didache, and neither of them were written until a couple of decades after Jesus' ministry.
Obama's socialism? 30 years ago Obama could have had shot at winning as a Republican. To call him a socialist is ridiculous.
I found this both frustrating and ironic as someone recommended MOG to me when I told him I was going to stop using Spotify over their new policy, even though I have an old account.
Dynamic pricing goes wide
-Bailing banks out and nationalizing them are virtually equivalent. Especially given the bailout terms.

-The proposed (and enacted) health plan does cut out all insurance companies, which don't comply with its terms.

-Increased taxes on the "wealthy" is an indirect tax on the corporations, since it is the "wealthy" which make those corporations possible.

-Why would a socialist pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan, when those are good justifications for perpetuating the same policies currently in place?
You mean like the Republican political party's faithful cheering on the fact that Rick Perry presided over more executions during his tenure?

I think your definition of "disgusting" is different from mine.

I actually cancelled my $9.99/mo membership after all this. I still really like Spotify and Facebook's new timeline. At first, I even really dug the new Spotify integration. However, I just noticed how much of my internet is tied back to Facebook with very little real utility gained and that makes me uneasy.

I feel a little mixed here as I make my living developing a Facebook app and now I've got Disconnect for Chrome installed and won't be using any web apps that offer only Facebook Connect. I guess I just don't really support Facebook touching every corner of the internet.

Look at what outsourcing to China has done. Rich get richer, poor got poorer, then the economy tanked because consumers don't have money to spend on the products the rich make.

The poor in China have gotten considerably richer. India also.

We've also gotten richer in the US, even while "the Chinese/Indians stole our jobs". The only reason we believe the US has stagnated is because immigration lowers our cross-sectional averages (but not our longitudinal averages).
