The article is written solely in HTML/CSS and only has two scripts within it (Intense Debate's script for their comment system & Google Analytics). All instances of this article have checked out fine when tested for malware or bad actors using the Google Chrome extension & Google Webmaster Tools. I have no ill intent. I love the Internet from desiging/coding sites to creating ideas on the web like http://sleep.fm to participating in my local start-up community.

It's very strange why this keeps getting blacklisted, as I am just trying to share a thought/idea I had with interested parties. If you are interested in reading the article i have it posted on my site @ ryanspahn.com

>I can't imagine how Wikileaks can be considered a so much more evil organisation than Stormfront

I can, in spirit, though I wouldn't necessarily use the term "evil" as the comparator. Stormfront generates bigotry and hate speech. Distasteful and contempible. But Wikileaks spreads as widely as possible information which can pose real security risks to people (such as US soldiers). As a Jew, I'd rather see people support offensive but peaceful organizations like Stormfront (I'm assuming they're all talk) than organizations which may actually contribute to getting people killed.
I agree, these are some pretty slides. But I have a feeling a talk called "How GitHub Uses GitHub to Build GitHub" by someone at GitHub no less, would have been popular if it had been a series of black-and-white LaTeX bullet points.

Correction: BAD copy/paste is one of the cancers of our profession.

Like all tools, it has its place, and there are people who tend to misuse it. Just because it's misused by bad programmers is no reason to deprive GOOD programmers of its benefits. You might as well ban screwdriver heads in power drills because lots of clumsy, inattentive people tend to strip screw heads with them. Similar misguided calls-to-arms have been raised over other useful tools such as preprocessor macros and goto.
While breezing through a stop without even looking or slowing down may be 'miles over the line,' coming to a rolling stop, situation dependent, is in more of a grey area.
> The person driving the car is the one holding the deadlier weapon, why are they not held to a higher sense of responsibility?

They are. There are insurance requirements for driving, licensing, etc. I'm unaware of any legal restrictions on bicyling on public roads (apart from staying off certain restricted access roads, typically interstates).

We can argue about whether these requirements are adequate, but it's absurd to suggest that they don't exist.

> I'll bet you that the driver wouldn't have called up to complain if the person she hit had been in a car rather than on a bicycle.

I'll bet you that they would have, because I've seen it happen.

Why are you so certain that it wouldn't have happened?
that's fucking retarded.
I tweeted at @stanfordeng, hoping that they can confirm.
I think that the words price, wage, rate, cost, expense, income, sales, purchases, etc may all denote the same thing from different perspectives.

Price is used when are interested mainly in the amount especially with respect to other things. So if a programming firm contracts with a client to do work, the contract may talk in terms of the generic price. But the individual programmers doing the work think in terms of wages. And those wages may be a cost or expense to the firm's owners, who also think in terms of rates, income, and sales while the client considers the programming as a purchase.

The term price in particular emphasizes the fact that there are options as to how to spend money. For example, a auto company can hire workers directly, in which case it pays wages. Or it can outsource, paying another company a rate for the labor, or it can just buy the finished parts. It makes sense to compare the different options as prices.

Certainly wages are considered as prices when it comes to automation decisions. What is price of wages and associated expense versus the price of the robot?

This (treating wages as prices) seems like such a basic concept that the burden is on the person who wants to treat wages as different from prices to explain why wages are or should be different.

Ask HN: How to calculate the equity for a non-coder co-founder?
Our startup was initially formed as a mutual brainstorming between my co-founder and I. Up until that point our contributions were the same and we could go with a 50-50 share. Since then, things were not that symmetrical:<p>I started implementing the idea, and hence my contribution to the startup became writing 100% of the development code and sysadmining the production server.<p>My co-founder has contributed in the product design in the context of reviewing the application and testing it in practice by providing real-world test users.<p>Potentially, my co-founder could also contribute in the future by bringing funds to the startup through contacts.<p>The question is, how would you calculate the equity at this point?<p>In order to make the contributions more symmetrical, is it common at all to take the contribution of the coder co-founder out of the equation, and assume that the future startup company owes the coder co-founder some money? Is this something that any of you have tried?
No, your analysis is not wrong -- except putting objects in a taskqueue to be persisted later is actually much faster than doing a datastore put in the first place (one reason being that you don't have to write to any indexes).

Ah, well that's the devil in the details. It wasn't merely one guy, there was a core of wikileaks developers who departed the organization all at once.

Second, they have made assurances that the wikileaks platform is in fact inoperable, given the state that the platform was in when they departed. By their account, wikileaks was not trustworthy enough to operate the platform, so they felt no inclination to fix it.

I am not going to claim first hand knowledge of any of these facts, and I don't know how the actual departure of Daniel Domscheit-Berg and co. actually went down. Assange has made statements contrary to Domscheit-Berg, and again, having no 1st hand knowledge, i can't claim to know one way or the other.

Assange has not, in any of the statements i've seen, addressed the current state of the platform, or how documents can be uploaded. On the other hand I haven't seen any prominent publication of how leakers can get documents to Wikileaks either. (happy to stand corrected if someone could point me to links!)
I have sometimes seen messages displayed, which told me to upgrade my browser to something more contemporary - I'm using the latest version of Opera.

I have sometimes seen messages, that IE6 is not wanted on a site - but I was not using Internet Explorer :-(

If you want to see cool designed pages, you could look for any pages that are cool designed, independent of the purpose.

Maybe you were looking for some compilation of "not for IE 6" pages, like the many collection articles of cool or funny 404 pages. I have not seen any compilation of "not for IE 6" pages so far.

Most 404 pages I have seen listed in these collection articles do miss a very important point: they do not help a lost visitor at all. They more or less plainly state, that something went wrong, and possibly show an error number, which most visitors may find mysterious. It is ok to put something funny on an error page, but I would recommend to give the error pages the same layout like the rest of the website, showing the main navigation, and put something on it, which really helps those lost visitors to get back to existing pages and to be happy. A sitemap might be a good idea and a search input field.

Generally, I'm not a fan of websites telling me what kind of browser I should use. Cool design is a matter of taste and ultimately the visitor has the last word on this matter.

In the cases, where I have seen a message intended for IE6 users, the design was never cool. It was often just some additional text box or a pop-up, recommending a browser upgrade in the less annoying cases, and telling the visitor to leave in the worst cases.

Several bloggers have been experimenting with the proprietary design features supported by IE6 (the CSS filter extension), like putting a blur on the whole page or flipping the content upside down. You can find some information on these filters here:

http://www.ssi-developer.net/css/visual-filters.shtml

This may lead at least to some special design, which only Internet Explorer users can see. But this is not a nice thing to do, since many IE6 users may not have a choice.

>>pain in the ass for developers and designers<<

I think, that it is just wrong to let personal frustration caused by difficulties of the design process have an influence on the website and the way a visitor will see the website. One of the worst messages I have seen was:

Not for stupid old browsers.

What will a visitor think, if this is the only text on the page?

Unibet Real Money Casino Review
In general a real market is imperfect in any case where firms make profit above their cost of capital -- i.e. most of it -- since perfect competition is supposed to drive profits to zero everywhere.

This is simply false. You are confusing profit with economic profit - they aren't the same thing. Profit is revenue in excess of costs, while economic profit is risk-adjusted profit in excess of other investment opportunities.

I.e., in a noncompetitive market, your best investment is to seek out companies with high economic profit and invest in them. In a competitive one, your best investment is a diversified portfolio indexed to the broader economy.

Incidentally, monopsony models of the labor market have pretty terrible predictive power. They are loved by PhD holding activists since they justify many feel-good policies, but they don't work very well outside of certain narrow fields (e.g., PhD chemists).

I dislike that attitude as well. Having children is presented as some amazing thing that you can't possibly comprehend if you haven't. Then the child comes and, guess what, life is pretty much like before, except there's a new member of the family with interesting needs. I'm not somehow more complete than before, and people like you aren't missing out on anything fundamental besides the raw personal experience of parenting.

We all make choices about what we want. I'm sure an avid skydiver could talk your ear off about how amazing that experience is and how you don't truly understand X until you've done it.
That was me. I saw the laughing squid link, followed it here, then discovered that their ultimate reference was the wikipedia article. I'm keeping tabs on the news so if an article pops up I'll add it or unprotect the article.
Not to excuse the error, but one can argue that at least it was just names and emails and not something more sensitive. For the best part unscrupulous firms you've signed up to at one point or another have already sold that email on to dozens of third party marketing firms. Or it's been leaked by others that haven't taken steps to protect their data. Or otherwise the company requesting your email has taken the liberty of spamming it with unrelated guff you're probably not interested in (music industry mailing lists are great for this).

The only real protection against it is to keep cycling your email address so the old ones become invalid (to you at least).

It's an odd mistake to have been made though, but without the details of that it's pointless to make assumptions about their system.

> not allowing those who have been born in fortuitous (and work ethic and abilities enhancing) circumstances to get so far ahead the less fortunate no longer have a chance to catch up.

I find this very troubling. Why should we prevent people from succeeding? I think rather than not allowing people to advance society would be better served by finding ways to help those behind advance. Also, why is it so important to catch up? Why cannot some do well and rise to the top while others do well (for their skill level) and not make it all the way to the top? What is so bad about that?

Maybe I phrased my point poorly. My point was that people in cars tend to want to hold people on bicycles to a higher standard of road awareness than they hold themselves to. There's rarely a sense of, "Maybe I should be more careful," and more often a sense of, "You should just get out of my way."

A reasonable analogy would be hunters and guns. Hunters are required to get both a hunting license and a gun license (barring bow hunters, etc). If someone is wandering around in the forest during hunting season, who is the person that should be more aware of their surroundings. We can argue that both people should be, but the hunter is the person with the deadly weapon.

> Why would you have 4 cache misses for a 128-byte record?

I wrote earlier "if your cache line is 32 bytes".

If you need all the fields - you will have 4 cache misses. If you need only some of the fields, and they all fall into 1 cache line, then -- as you said, you will only have one cache miss.

My point (poorly worded, upon rereading, but I didn't have much time, dayjob and all...) was that the potential advantage of record-major does NOT increase beyond what is packed into one cache line -- so it is a small constant, rather than deserving of O() notation.

There have been some great results in the news recently regarding CAR T cells in the treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. I think this one might be a winner.

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2873604

http://penncancer.org/cart-19

From what I understand about this treatment, blood is removed from the patient and 'infected' with a harmless HIV virus that has been modified to attach a molecule to T cells. This molecule binds to a receptor (CD19) on the cancer cell, thereby creating T cells that attack the cancer cells. The treated blood is injected back to the patient and the patients body creates more of these cells on it's own- effectively creating an immune response to the cancer cells.

Do you think a subset of HN readers could somehow facilitate a project that could help the labs researching ( or planning on researching ) methods for expanding this method of treating cancer? I would like to ( and inspire people here to ):

1) find the available labs that can best perform the _steps_ required for this treatment _process_. Basically, get a list of labs.

2) help expedite iterative methods for techniques that:
a) speed the development time of the specific _step(s)_, and/or
b) broaden the efficacy of the overall treatment _process_ ( ie. treat other cancers ).
Basically, list the _steps_ in the _process_ and see if there is a way to make them faster, better.

3) create tools that allow the people and labs working on this _process_ to communicate as efficiently as possible. Basically, learn how the different labs work and write tools that streamline their collaborative workflow.

I have a feeling there are many smart people on this site with free time ( ie. visiting this site often ), technical resources, and organizing skills that could make this happen- fast. Shoot me an email with questions/comments/complaints if you don't want to comment on this thread; I want to help.

It's maybe a not very well known fact but McCarthy's original LISP proposal used M-expressions instead of S-expressions; M-expressions were then transformed into S-expressions. Using S-expressions directly, however, turned out to be more popular amongst programmers.

With M-expressions, this would look like: he[will[be[dearly[missed]]]]
Nope, NYT is wrong on that one. I suspect they are referring to the implosion of the real estate sector which brought down a number of companies, but none of them where banks.

QE is a word with a specific meaning, it's not just a synonym for "stimulus". It refers to the buying of financial assets by the central to increase their value, and/or to increase the money supply. Ending a currency peg has nothing to do with that.

Note that the bailout operations that did take place did so after the end of the peg.

Few employers run at a loss for very long.

So, if they pay $y for something that is only worth $x, where y > x, they make up the difference somewhere.

The four options are the salary for other employees, money for supplies, profits, and price of goods/services sold.

Customers will walk if they're not getting value. Service providers will sell to the highest bidder. Other employees will go elsewhere, but not all employees are portable.

That leaves stranded employees and employers.
