There's nothing that would delight me less than driving on the road with someone who has hacked their cars firmware.

In any case this seems more like competitive advantage through obscurity than security through obscurity, for the same reason that manufacturers don't include blueprints and engine schematics.
So we're taking a poll to take a poll?

When Google started out, I could get way more relevant results from using a combination of Yahoo, Hotbot and AltaVista.

Later on, Google got better and I switched because I could get satisfactory results from just one search engine. You didn't have to think about which search engine to use for which query -- Google was good enough.

Nowadays, I wouldn't miss Google Search if it disappeared; I get more relevant results from DuckDuckGo.
2011 Dhanteras Muhurat, 2011 Best Laxmi Puja Muhurat
In the North India, Dhanteras is celebrated with full faith and enthusiasm on Trayodashi of Kartik Krishna Paksha. Apart from Dev Dhanvantri, Goddess Lakshmi and God Kuber are worshipped on this day. Yam Dev is also offered Deep Dan on this day. it is believed, worshipping Yam Dev on this day cancel any premature death. After worshipping Yam Dev, a lamp should be lit on the entrance door facing the south direction for the whole night. Few coins and kodi are put in this lamp.
[Note: I work at Facebook, and have worked on some of the friend suggestion tools.]

There seems to be some confusion about how friend suggestions work, and we definitely want to people to understand how their information is used and their options to control it.

Generally, the contact importing tools and resulting friend suggestions have been used by millions of people to make hundreds of millions of friend connections. We're proud of this (since it is clear that real connections are made) but also understand that people should have control. That's why we include a notice in the contact sync (on phones) and upload (on the web) flows that makes it clear that contacts you import may be used generate friend suggestions for you and others. If you're concerned about being suggested as a friend to others based on the contacts in your address book, you can either not upload it, or if you have already uploaded it, you can remove your uploaded contacts (http://www.facebook.com/contact_importer/remove_uploads.php). You can also block any individual people. These steps prevent what the Alex (or rather, his friends) experienced — people being suggested as friends based on having a phone number in their address book.

Also, some of you have noticed that we don't always require a phone verification for an account. This is a security feature designed to prevent spam and fake accounts that is only triggered when certain conditions aren't met.
Even with open source, I'd be doubtful (and concerned) were that an option. There's no reason you can't have open source code (available for public scrutiny/liability purposes), but require that on-road, cars require a particular signed variant. Sort of the anti-GPL3.

Some sort of public bugtracker/remote update mechanism (again, given suitably authenticated binaries) would also be nice.

Actually, it occurs to me from watching far too much Top-Gear, that a fair number of high-end cars have a "Sport" button that does all sorts of things to your ECU, brakes/suspension/steering controls, and (afaik) is strictly speaking only legal for off-public-road/private racetrack usage. Having something similar (and with a log of entry/exit times into each mode for use in crash investigation)[1] might make it possible to experiment.

Still strikes me as pretty scary though.

I wasn't suggesting that the HN software creates an "upvote YC company" rule.

I'm suggesting that it's common for 500+ YC founders who are and have been active HN members, to quickly upvote articles about other YC companies.

I'm suggesting that this is a cultural artifact of what's happening on HN, not an algorithmic one.

And, I'm suggesting that this cultural artifact changes the content on HN to be quite focused on YC companies. It's natural. It's reasonable. And, certainly beneficial to the investment aspect of YC. You run a media site about startups, and you invest in lots of startups. Those startups naturally want their investor to do well, and their brand to succeed.

I'm not accusing you of malice. What I'm saying, is that I think that this cultural artifact benefits YC and it's startups to the detriment of the startup community at large.
I agree that some of the petty things we pin our ego on can lead to stress and unhappiness, but I'm not sure ego per se is a terrible thing.

The thrust of the article almost seems to be that you'll be happiest when you define yourself by your relationships with other people, your experiences of other things. These are good things, but I strongly believe that you need enough ego to feel like you're standing face-to-face with the world before you've lived a truly satisfying life. Perhaps I'm just misunderstanding the use of 'experiences' in the article, but I'd really rather build my own parthenon than spend my life staring at someone else's.

> Unlimited length and colour figures in an online journal? No shit.

You'd be surprised.

> The cost should be exactly $0, since all the actual work like reviewing articles is done by volunteers.

Peer reviewers are not the only ones working on PLOS, it has a pretty big editorial board[0] of 1300~1400 members and a pretty extensive editorial process. I do not claim to know if (let alone that) it is worth $1350/article, but they do apparently waive publication fees for authors who can't provide them, so the idea is that granted authors pay for insufficiently funded authors.

There are costs to a scientific journal, which have to be covered one way or an other. In an open-access journal, they clearly can't be covered by the one who accesses the information, so they have to be covered either by the one who publishes it (the author) or a third party (via grants).

> I'm sure that many universities and companies would be glad to provide free hosting for papers.

I'm not sure that's got any relevance.

PPC Company
PPC consultants are popular and widely used because it is no ordinary market, no. It’s so much more than that. Unlike conventional marketing, pay per click advertising doesn’t rely on bombarding the general public with ads of no interest to consumers who are not even looking to make a purchase. Paid search actually targets consumers that are pro-actively looking to make a certain purchase. It’s a bit like you wanting to buy a specific camera and then 4 people just happen to come along at that precise moment with the exact model you had in mind; you’re much more likely to see what their offers are.
The right scale to operate your business at is not the one that makes you the most money but the one that makes you the happiest.
As usual, there is merit to the opposite side too. Don't create some huge abstraction with class hierarchies and virtual methods and stuff, just to avoid cutting and pasting a ten-line function somewhere.

Often it's a good idea to start by cutting and pasting, and then afterwards figure out what ended up being sharable.
Apple Upgrades MacBook Pro With Faster Processor, Graphics and More Storage
Worth noting though that this can go too far the other way. I've definitely written things where, in my refusal to repeat myself, I've made a hard-to-read mess.

Here's an example from when I was very first starting out with ruby:

http://pastie.org/2749772

This is a pretty hard to read piece of code, despite my rambling comments. All done to avoid copying and pasting the same easy-to-follow method ~10 times.
well of course my opinion isn't in any way less subjective than the author's and you should consider both with a grain of salt.
Can I nominate this for HN comment of the year?
I'm surprised you don't need a data package for a Droid Bionic.

On Sprint, an iPhone 4S and highest end Android phone offered (Galaxy S 2) are the same price ($200) - contract details seem the same. My best guess is that highest end Android phones cost about the same as an iPhone 4S.
I think that is missing the point here and confuses how the two companies work.

Google do have a vision which is to make everything indexable. They also have a business model which is use advertising to pay for it.

Google tries all sorts of things and see what sticks.

Apple doesn't work that way.

They create their products based on a a long term belief. They can tell you exactly why they do what they do and how it fits into their larger vision.

In my mind it means that one is taking an investors approach (google diversification strategy)

And the other is taking an artists approach (apples intuition)

They are both great companies but for very very different reasons.

Question I couldn't find through searching. Assuming weight is constant, what are the pros of ultra-thinness that outweigh the lack of upgradability?
I pray for it on the next tick cycle, but I can't say about how Apple would feel about merging their different products into essentially 1 line.

I do wish for a 15" High-res Air though.
What an awesome article. Interesting about not sleeping more than 2 times in a day and which hormones are stimulated how and why.

Copy-and-paste is bad, I agree, but on the other hand, I hate it. And by 'it' I mean all of it. I have never seen a large system that could, for more than a moment in time, be seen as anything else than elephantiasis.

It's shameful and I'm sick of it. I want out. Right now, I'm paid quite well as a contractor to make some enhancements to a project developed by a hundred underpaid developers in a distant land, who did a remarkable job, considering. But it's rat's nest -- they didn't stand a chance. And I can't look myself in the mirror anymore and say this is what I do. It's grotesque. I'd rather run a coffee shop (and indeed I've been talking about it) because at least I could go home at the end of the day having seen a little beauty here and there, instead spending all day staring into the face of the Elephant Man.
legality is kind of codified morals of a particular society.

No it's not.
Law has many blind spots even in the most democratic societies.

Some are:

Is using smart advertising a moral thing ? some say it's manipulative, not in the best interest of it's viewer and do lead to harm (for example negative body image of females). But it's legal.

Does creating financial products over food commodities, and thus inflating food prices moral? probably not , but it's probably legal(no wonder, if you consider who writes the rules).

Does a big medical company buying a disruptive startup(in order to kill the disruption) legal ? sure it is. Is it moral ? probably not.

So please don't confuse morality and legality.

I am guessing not - apparently Lego production has tolerances around 0.01mm (http://cache.lego.com/upload/contentTemplating/AboutUsFactsA...) and 3D printer tolerances at best seem to be around hundredths of an inch?

Although I agree that some of the knockoffs are significantly not as good (in that they don't click together properly), I would have loved to be able to create my own Lego bricks in my younger days and I'd probably put up with them being a bit slack if I had to. I wonder if Lego are worried - things would be pretty grim for them if in 10 years time any child could download and print out any set of interlocking bricks that they wanted...

Personally I am saddened by this trend to do all online teaching with videos, so I am glad to hear people still write textbooks.

I hope you can be successful. Learning by video is so incredibly ineffective, I really don't get why people like it so much. Even coders learn Ruby by video???

I am doing the Stanford AI course and ML Course and it is OK to be kept on track with the weekly scheduled exercises. But I wish I could just read up the stuff (which I occasionally do, but it is not always easy to find the same information in written form). For example, the linear algebra section on Wikipedia seemed to be not that much help.
Have you read it all? Because that's essentially what he says, despite the title and first phrase.

But like any sharp tool it has the ability to cut you just as easily as it cuts the wood, so you need to apply it with care.
As a user of Aleks can you describe what makes it better than the Khan Academy?
Bugger. I find it hard to believe its impossible, even if there is no formal or published process though. Good luck devising your own course of study then :)
Yes, that's why in my previous job I simply forced all my team to use Vim, with almost the same vimrc. Before me, some were using Eclipse, jedit, even dreamweaver, that was a mess, also with encodings.

But to complete Jacques' rant, I'd say that if duplication is bad in the part of the code handling logic and actions, it is not bad and often "normal", or even "better" in configuration parts or in content parts (eg templates). Factorizing a list of configs to replace some duplication with logic (loops, conds) can be a very bad idea.
Right on.

To get code shipped I usually copy and paste if it really saves me time, but make a checklist of optimizations I can do at a later date.

When that time comes, find/replace does the dirty work.

Git-using colleagues mainly, who may need to work on your machine for one reason or another (imagine git as the standard SCM and pair-programming, your using a different "porcelain" only works as long as your colleagues can keep using the standardized tool).

It'd also feel a bit less hack-ish than my current hg-git setup, and it would probably work correctly with http git repositories (I believe hg-git will support them once Dulwich 0.8.1 is released[0], but I've no idea if — and when — that'll happen, not to mention the issue will rise its ugly head again if git adds more protocols in the future)

They're already pretty thin, my MBP is thinner then I think all laptops I see every day, save for ultraportables. And it (theoretically, since update to Lion and/or the way I work now brought it down to ~3 hours) already has the same (13" MBA) or better (11") battery life.

But are you asking about having so much computing power in MBA-like slim body?
Then answer is - not for some time. Intel has Haswell [1] prepared for 2013 - that's the soonest I would expect things to change. There is also second possibility - with rumors of Apple going ARM-only - but even if (and that's pretty big if), we would see Macs with ARM around the time of Haswell introduction.

Hosting costs, software dev, and maybe non-volunteer admin costs are factors off the top of my head.

Maybe it's excessive, and would either reduce over time, or the organisation would find some way to grow into the budget (now, which is more likely?), but the important part would be organising it as a non-profit.

Putting the cost onto the submitter to pay for free access to everyone thereafter is a nice model - academics need those publications to justify their grants, and can allocate money towards it. The problem is, "in perpetuity"[1] is a long time, so you're gonna end up front-loading the cost a bit.

[1] Or maybe just a standard copyright term. Someone still needs to host it though, and preferably keep as much metadata as possible attached.
Just put something online and try to convince people to care.

Technical Partner for Start up
Most of us wanna start a web company and half of those maybe 90% have one problem DONT KNOW CODING..
i was thinking wat if a group of hacker start a company to partner with such wanna be for money.
Start up has steps.you can charge for each step.If you dont wanna continue just stop.
For example.
I want be make a startup and i come to this company.
First they charge $1000 and help me figure out the detailed technical need,scaling issue and other initial technical things.
If i wanna continue they charge like another $1000 for MVP(marketing,business model and all other aspect other than technical not included).
If you still wanna continue want want to add features you can negotiate future expense in modules.
I know that a hacker wont like the concept and its more like outsourcing but there aren't many outsourcing company seen to work with low budget start up.Even from a learning point of view when your working with pro on your first project i will be more effective.

Man City takes top EPL Spot defeating Man United
Man City thumps Man United at Old Trafford scoring 6 goals against the only one of hosts. It’s Balotelli’s 2, Dzeko’s brace and Aguero, Silva’s one each goals carried the noisy neighbour’s title contending hopes seriously.Roberto Mancini must be deep rooted in title hopes with heavy win over Old Trafford kings. With the 6-1 win they out powered the hosts in each class of the game to be firm on EPL title hopes.
I think it's probably much more valuable to the parents than the children. While your kid might get a kick out of it, this is a pretty good alternative to keeping the same pictures on the fridge for several years at a time.
Serious question: is watching Khan Academy really learning, or is it just the illusion of learning? After watching the Algebra lectures, can you say "I learned Algebra" (meaning I spent time in a process that could be called learning) or can you say "I learned Algebra" (meaning you now actually understand Algebra and can use it in your daily work)?

I am really trying to understand, because my brain seems to be wired differently than the modern generation. I find it harder to learn from videos than from books (although most books are too verbose, too).
