To further that point, I'm not sure he has the skills necessary to be a good CEO. As long as Tim Cook doesn't get in Ive's way, Ive will be able to do what he does best, and Apple will be the better for it. And Cook will do his thing too, what he does best. We shouldn't take people away from what they're good at doing. Jobs was a rare breed, being able to be involved in everything.

I know a guy, who was at a conference, and was told by a guy in banking that one of the credit scoring techniques for credit card applications was checking if the first and last letters of your family name are vowels.

The idea being that Nigerians usually have vowels on both ends of their family names.
Rank at HN: Stop saying "This."
Please stop saying "This." in reply to things you agree with. It's lame.

If you want to agree with a commentator then you can upvote, or reply with additional insightful commentary, but there's no need to even say you agree, let alone use the stupid "This." It serves no purpose beyond a vacuous "Me too" type response.
Anecdote != data, subsidies are bad, etc etc - but my parents' PV installation is paying off at an 11% ROI right now (Belgium, heavily subsidized), up from an estimated 8% at the time of installation (3 or so years ago) because of the high amounts of sunshine there have been there. Bring on the global warming. There are many people getting filthy rich on these installations (for example those who have large industrial buildings with roof space they don't use - they are getting 4-8% NET YIELD on as much money as they could borrow back in 2006-2007, which back then of course was easy as pie).
Somebody please make this! How hard could it be? No, forget about that -- I'd throw money at you. Heck, I'd work for you while throwing money at you while coding for you.

I reflexively downvote people who do that. It's an extremely jarring abuse of the English language, and furthermore, serves absolutely no purpose, as jgrahamc points out, on a site with the possibility to either simply upvote, or comment in a more meaningful way.

As an alternative, try something creative like "I completely concur with the spirit of this comment, and would like to add ...." or "The sentiments expressed within the above comment could not be more clearly or intelligently stated. Furthermore ...", or, say, "Quite right, ..." or... well, pretty much anything that's not just the regurgitation of a boring meme.
Thermostat managed through a hosted web service? I'm sorry but this is idiotic. Looks neat though.
Personally I wish selling below cost were illegal across the board. It's a destructive practice and allows people who have no stake in one kind of market kill that market.

Take the Amazon Fire, for example. They lose money on every unit sold but they don't care because they expect more sales in their real business: retail. How are companies who only make these devices (e.g. Apple) supposed to compete with that? What market are they supposed to use to makeup their losses. And how can they protect this other market from getting hit with the same thing?
You could spend time going feature to feature comparing the two and waiting for feedback from others -- or you could use both for 2 minutes each and instantly know the difference.

1. Should get feedback for actual energy consumption from the meter.

2. Should allow installation of extra sensors that are wirelessly connected to the main unit, in case the main unit is far from the couch/bed.
You're absolutely right.

I blame the title for turning this into Perl sucks vs. no it doesn't discussion. Not going into the problems with their study (N=18, poor Perl samples,...), all they prove is that a novice will much better understand pseudo code designed to be easy to understand than a real programming language.

I'm a Perl hacker and I would be the last to claim that it has an easy to understand syntax. Perl is full of shortcuts and magic that is hard for beginners, but it makes my life as a programmer much more easier. If they compare their pseudo language with Perl, Ruby, and Python, Perl would be at the bottom of the list.
Could this have an API? Thinking about it, some neat things could be done. For example, might it be possible to infer from electricity use if somebody is home or not? Also all sorts of fancy remote control options could emerge (Twitter is a must :-)
Pure genius! Just one thing, anyone upgrading from an old mercury switch thermostat will be left with a mercury waste disposal problem. Properly disposing of these can be a real hassle and some not-so-environmentally responsible customers are likely to just chuck them in the trash. Nest could raise the bar of their environmental responsibility another notch by including a postage-paid mailer and some bubble wrap to return your old thermostat to them for proper disposal.
What a supremely provincial comment.

Toasters with a toast color sensor has been around for at least a couple of years if not longer. They just don't advertise them that way.
Hard to say. This is the sort of thing people have been talking about forever ("smart homes"), but maybe the timing is finally right.

Quick, does anyone use their iPad to "store recipes"?
Will this be free in the future or based on a premium subscription model?
A toilet that tells you if are dehydrated and need to drink more, that'd be neat. Or perhaps automatically checks if your kids are doing drugs (maybe that's too far).
There are already "transparent" toasters with windows on their sides. This is low-tech, but I imagine works better and is cheaper than having a camera inside your toaster (an environment which is dark and hot).
Can't do baseload power is something of a myth, too. There are a reasonable number of pump-hydro systems in use now, and they work reliably and efficiently.

In the US, 2.5% of baseload power is pump-hydro. Most of this is probably powered by hydro electricity, but solar is working well in many places too.
Thanks - finding one was easy once I knew they existed! :-)

I second what you say.

This fragment below struck me as a particularly bad piece of logic/causation thinking.

If the house is cooling down while you are away - don't you need more energy to warm it up again than you would use to just sustain the temperature?
I'd say that an 'intelligent' thermostat has greater chance to balance this right than anyone could with a manual adjustments.
This shouldn't be surprising. Even experts get surprised by what perl's syntax actually does [1].

timgluz, Thank you.
She has some valid points, especially regarding the freezing issue. I get it sometimes, although it is always me trying to hack somithing stupid in the system, and not some spontaneous freeze like what ol'Windows used to do. Thats why the first thing I do is reactivate the Ctrl-Atl-Backspace shortcut. Removing it was one of the things that got me very annoyed at Canonical. Second only to the introduction of Unity.

Ctrl-Atl-F1 may have worked for her too to get to a terminal and kill the offending process.

There is another good thing about the article. She is not all over the place expecting Ubuntu to behave like some other operating system. Does anyone criticize Mac OS for not being like Windows? I cant get anything done with Mac OS and thats not MacOS's fault of not working like Gnome or Windows, its my fault for not taking the time to learn how to use it. The reviewers tend to try to replicate their windows flow on linux to acheive their goals, then blame Linux for "not working like windows" - well yeah thats kind of the whole point... So keep up the great work on this one !

You're absolutely right. I used to hand-knit hats to a particular nerdy gamer theme, and was very quickly overwhelmed with orders (even at US$65/hat, which is a lot for a knit beanie!).

I had to institute a "slot" system where I'd open up orders for a short time, get a bunch, then knit my way through them. Once they'd all been shipped out, I'd open up for more orders (if I wasn't sick of knitting the damned things by that stage ;). It worked pretty well and kept me in pocket money through the last stages of my PhD.

One thing I decided was that I'd never compromise in quality - I used very fine wools (malabrigo for those who know) and each hat was made to order from a "menu" of options. Throughout the process I'd keep the customer up to date on what I was doing and where they were in the "queue".

It worked really well, but I wouldn't want to do it for a living since I was underselling my time as far as labour costs go. And I got sick of knitting so many hats. :)
Perl was designed around two slogans: "the UNIX swiss-army chainsaw" and "there's more than one way to do it" (for any value of "it").

I first met Perl after spending some years working in the UNIX command line environment, and it made intuitive sense ... to someone who primarily used awk, sed, and bash (and able to get stuff done in C). I was up to speed and productive in it within a couple of days. (This was in the days of Perl 4 -- the OO stuff in Perl 5 came years later.) At that level, Perl was basically every UNIX text-handling tool rolled into one handy bundle oriented around script execution rather than interactive shell work, with a bunch of POSIX extras and things like the socket() API thrown in to take it beyond the toy language level.

The point is, Perl isn't a beginner's language. Rather, it's an elaboration of a pre-existing toolset that assumes you're already familiar with the UNIX way before you get started. Pitching it against a teaching language isn't even an apples/oranges comparison: it's like comparing a circus merry-go-round to a helicopter (they're simply not intended for the same purpose or the same user demographic).
Yes, the dark current on that camera would be substantial.

IIRC approximately 15%, which is a lower than it was a year ago. Prices range up to 3x the lowest price, with a suggested 2x to be sure of a good quality setup and 10 year guarantee (which seems short).

However, if you buy a system now and it's 10% cheaper in a year and you would have made say 3.5% on the investment [1] you'll be out 13.5% minus your electricity savings, and that's in 1 year. What about 4-5 years? Won't it be much cheaper then?

[1] I've made about 37% this year as a fairly active trader, so every cent means a margin of safety. No solar for me because I need the cash!

I wonder how much JIT compilation would help, without any hand-optimization? e.g. it'd do the initial inlining.

I've been amazed at Java's speedup over multiple runs: dead-slow on startup, then improving rapidly over the next 10-20 runs, and even keeps improving slowly after that. It's a bit magical. Much (all?) of that JIT tech should be applicable to Python, I'd think.

Interesting story, with a very good speedup. Though I personally wouldn't be this patient, and would write a simple function like this in cython or even the C API directly (especially as the Python code drifts further from idiomatic with each step...).
Then, in a study in which they pitted Perl against a language designed to do well in studies, the language designed to do well in studies prevailed.

No, it's not surprising that perl performed poorer than Quorum. The surprise is that perl did as poorly as Randomo, which should not be sensible given that the operators and keywords are gibberish.

I generally agree with what you're saying, but the point of the study is not that the well-designed language did better. Who wouldn't expect that? But there is no tautological question when you realize that the result they are focusing on is the near-even performance with Randomo, not the failure to exceed or match Quorum.

It's pretty clear that they aren't engaging in perl bashing, but trying to provide data that backs up their experiential findings as teachers.
Lunch Pails Return To  College  Green.
If you give a noob the task of writing a program in a language the noob has never seen before it makes sense the noob would write code that looks like random gibberish to a Perl programmer. Therefore, it's not surprising the random gibberish code would would resemble "a language design by chance" more than it would look like Perl.
Various Ways to Create You Ecommerce Solution

I havent' done the math recently but even if you assume no sales tax in the US and factor in the 20% VAT in the UK the difference is still large.

In fact lets do it quickly for an Air. In US its $1600 which is pretty much £1000. UK is £1349. US won't have sales tax whilst VAT is 20%, so thats part of the difference but there's an additional £150 overhead. It varies between products and has been documented online before. Other companies do it but I find it pretty blatant with apple products and so tend to avoid their computers.

Ask HN: What are essential skills for a 21est century entrepreneur?
Hey HN, I've been in college for years and I'm not sure what I should major in and where the job market is headed. business related/finance majors are a mystery because of politics and the economy, I'm not sure where tech related degrees are headed.

So I need to ask, what sort of degree should I get that's applicable for the future? What sort of things should I look into? Any recommendations?

What sorts of skills are essential for a 21est century entrepreneur? What should I be working on or learning?

For every less fortunate that works hard and succeeds, there are thousands that work hard and do not succeed; their efforts simply go to increase the wealth of the wealthy who hold the capital. My heart goes out to them, and I wish their exploitation would stop.

Reducing the wealth gap, or more to the point, not allowing it to expand exponentially is not the same as removing it. There will always be a gap, there will always be incentives.
