How do i join a University and not pay them(monetarily)?
Is there a #University in #USA which i can attend and learn courses from while I work for them? besides the conventional methodology of writing GRE and applying to colleges, yada yada...(Quite obviously i'm referring to the computer field alone in this case.)
Why is it that they cannot accept tuition fee through work? (please Leave aside the various visa related issues)
Or even better, to work for some company and attend college, where the company pays the college directly.
<p>I'm extremely interested in absolutely every piece of technology or research that is going on that will appeal to the majority as well as extremely smart. I'm a pure hacker with a startup straight out of college, but now i want to study more, but would like to pay for it through non-monetary methods.<p>Any kind of suggestion would be appreciated :)<p>I wish Google started some kind of university!!

Criticism is one thing, but a threat seems a bit much!
My wife grew up in Vietnam, and I can attest to the fact that she had a much more restrictive childhood than I did. All the freedoms that I loved as a teenager, she had none of them. Her parents rode hard on her and her 8 brothers and sisters. The male siblings had much more freedom, though, and I believe there was more "rebellion" among them.

On the issue of "authority of adults", her culture takes it to ridiculous heights, though. In any argument, the person that is older wins. That means your sister who is 2 years older than you wins, no matter what, because of that 2 yr margin.

When I look at the difference in the bonds between children and parents, in her culture the bond is primarily held together by guilt.

Rather than talk of the extremes, the US on one side and some Asian cultures on the other, I think I'd prefer the middle-of-the-road of some European cultures. The Dutch, for example, seem to have a happy medium.
Wanna Be A Network Marketer When You Grow Up?
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but historically, there is nothing wrong with using names other than your "legal name" as you as you are not defrauding people. If your birth name is "Sam" and you decided to go by "Charlie", even on paperwork, that is okay. People can have known aliases.

Shame that were are getting to the point that people must go by the specific name on their legal documentation.

To the person who downvoted this comment: Could you explain what's wrong with it?
Maybe I should then post on HN?

I fall in to this camp, sort of. I'm not looking for a non-tech co-founder, but certainly open to the idea. However, as I meet people, the ones who seem to be capable are generally already doing their own thing. To a large extent, this is probably a similar problem non-tech people face when looking for tech co-founders - the ones who are most likely to be capable are probably already doing something.

I meet a fair number of people who might be non-tech co-founders - they tick some of the boxes. But when discussing things more, then almost inevitably fall short of my own expectations.

This is hard to put in to words, but the ones I've talked to seem more in love with the idea of being in a startup than actually working on one. There's also seemingly little drive to do much more than talk. Generally, also, there's little financial stability in their lives, to be able to deal with no or limited income for several months while ramping up. And based on discussions with some potential co-founders over the past several years, there seems to be little willingness to be at all flexible with their own ideas - they have tended to think of themselves as Steve Jobs, and me more as a Wozniak to be used and thrown out later.

So... again, while I'm open to the idea, I'm not actively looking. Perhaps I should be actively looking, and would weed through the bad fits faster?

Even before "Unreal" you could find the servers, check the ping, see the players' nicks, scores and statistics via browser in both "Quake" (technically: "QuakeWorld") and "Quake 2".
The plugin to do that was called "QPlug"/"Q2Plug" and it was co-created by John Carmack himself.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of such solutions (Battlelog included) - mainly because switching between fullscreen game and browser is, in most cases, very jerky (although it has improved since "Unreal" times). Also, the difference between in-game and in-browser UX ruins the flow of the whole thing. Have to admit though that viewing friends, statistics, etc. through a web browser is very convenient.
Wonderful.

Real Estate in Los Feliz

I'm no economist, but it seems to me that in the example, the debt owed by the whole vilage to the outside world is essentially zero. The problem described is a liquidity problem much more than a debt problem. We could in theory imagine the villagers to trust each other enough to trade the IOUs between each other and solve the problem without the rich german. For example if A owes 100 to B who owes 100 to C who owes 100 to A, then A could give C's IOU to B and have his debt cleared B would then give C's IOU to C in exchange of his own bieng returned. No more debt and no germans involved. However this assumes that B trusts C enough to accept his IOU as payement from A.

If we were to use the analogy In the case of Grece, the hotel owner would owe a few thousand euros to different pawnbrokers in nearby villages, rush to pay them, and the german is in for a nasty surprise after he's done inspecting the rooms. Not that he wasnt expecting it to happen when he put a note on the table or that losing the 100 euros is such a big deal to him.

As I said I'm no specialist so I may be wrong here.
I think touchscreens are going to become the cheap, ubiquitous, lowest-common-denominator interface for general tasks. But I agree that they're really not that interesting for anything more than browsing. You'll notice that most apps don't go far beyond basic tap, pan, swipe and pinch gestures because anything more complex is too awkward and error-prone. That leaves a lot of the expressive potential of the human hand untapped.
Yes, helpful, but P/E is still important as a proxy measure for all of the things you mentioned. Current earnings are not a worse predictor of future earnings than many other more complex possible models. Under the assumption that future earnings will be at least reasonably predicted by current earnings, comparing the price as a multiple to that predictor is not a bad way to make a purchase decision relative to other assets. Of course book value is important, as are growth prospects, but book value (hopefully less so after IFRS4) is not really a great estimator of fire-sale value, and I would argue that growth is second order to earnings' first order and accordingly harder to estimate.
Hi,

For a developer, making your own Disqus is actually easy. And I have done so myself, with free hosting on top of Google's App Engine ...

Don't expect the same polish as Disqus. This is meant for my usage mostly and I have simple needs.
A brief note on .NET object mortality
I think they're only really harder to develop in so much as it's more like developing two applications. One backend that throws out JSON/XML or whatever and a frontend in HTML/Javascript.

I actually find that bit easier, because I can separate out the the parts and worry about things a piece at a time. The other benefit of this is if you chose to develop for iOS, Android or any other platforms you already have an API. Equally if you wanted a developer program, again it's already there.

The complexity comes when you make the decision as to whether or not to support clients that can't or won't execute Javascript, if you want to make it work for them too you're stuck with more work and things do get more difficult.

As far as testing goes, there are plenty of mature javascript unit testing frameworks and if your inclined to unit test your javascript already this doesn't add a great deal of overhead. Your really just testing something in JS you would have otherwise done and tested server-side.
Compare with the Toshiba:

The touchpad is noticeably NOT centered, but placed so to be under both your thumbs with your fingers on the home row. The Macbook has a way bigger touchpad, but it's aligned to the left of the spacebar, not to the right. I'm quite sure that for a smaller touchpad, Toshiba got it right and Sony got it wrong (particularly for left handed people).

That's the big win I think this architecture has, it's already an API and already ready to create platform specific implementations.

It also makes a developer program something that's quick and easy to support, again the API is ready and waiting.
The question is, what was the motivation behind re-writing Java Lucene in C?
Couldn't agree more. Having spent some time living near a lot of junkies, it seems the people that got addicted to heroin were the people who tried heroin. You could hardly say they were idiots to try heroin - the pushers are fairly good marketers, get somebody fucked drunk, give them some cocaine and ectasy, and then a hot girl convinces them to try it, and they have a (brief) lifetime customer.
Hashbangs are only a stop-gap at this point - modern browsers ship with the HTML5 History API.
It's not that much luck. I've decided to go with Django in 2006. Still going strong, five years later. You'll do fine going with Django or Rails, but the time when this decision would be more rewarding was 5 years ago.

I've done mostly flash for a living since 2001, in 2007 I decided to move on. It was obvious it wasn't going anywhere.

Balsamic is probably the only application written in Flash that I use regularly. A platform that has so few applications after so many years in development is clearly struggling.
IQ is heritable, but the catch is that it may, in fact, only be heritable through the mother's half of the genes contributed to the child [1]. The jury is still out on this possibility, but it's being seriously considered in studies right now.

So all those uber-rich guys who select stereotypically dumb, hot trophy wives are doing their offspring no favors in this department. (On the flipside, they may be doing their offspring plenty of favors w/r/t looks, and countless studies have shown that looks are also highly correlated with professional success).

Finally, IQ is, for lack of a better word, malleable. It's not locked in at birth. It can be trained, and it can also wither on the vine if not properly used and challenged. And it's highly susceptible to environment: types of attention received as a child, education, socialization, and even environmental pollutants all play a big role. And they continue to play a big role throughout life, up until roughly the mid-20s, when the brain stops undergoing its rapid changes and loses a lot of its plasticity (though not all of it).

My friend is a semi-famous Jazz singer named Spider Saloff. FB wouldn't let her join Facebook because "Spider" is not considered a "real" first name. She got the run around because her first name isn't really Spider, she just has gone by it for nearly 30 years. Nope. Go by your real name or go home, said FB.

Finally a friend comes up with the idea: "Spidie Saloff" works like a charm.

Only Google does that currently.

And while people can build crawlers that can fetch Javascript rendered pages, these scripts will have to drive real browsers with rendering engines, not just simple HTTP clients. And this is a problem, because fetching millions of web pages will require serious infrastructure work, versus a crawler using libev that can fetch dozens of pages in parallel without a sweat.

Also, that spec you gave is not exactly how Google operates. That's the advice Google gives for making web apps compliant, but the reality is that Google is smarter than that and it takes Google a good amount of effort to fix other people's screwups.

Accessible to crawlers doesn't mean Google-only and you should be careful not to throw the baby along with the bathwater.
You're reading it different than me. I don't think he's literally wishing for it to pass, or is it really "the bright side" that he is describing. He's just trying to rationalize that the worst-case scenario is not the end of all freedom yet, and there will still be ways to fight/circumvent it. More like a small bright dot on a very dark background.
In France there is four times more deaths from suicide than deaths in a car crash. Yet we have countless cops constantly roaming around, and millions spent on automated speed cameras, in the name of a policy vowed to reduce "unacceptable" life losses, but ignores the fact that 32k people actually die here per year out of sheer helplessness and despair. Somehow I can't help but think that people up there are missing something when they keep throwing money at compressing a number resulting from statistically ineluctable collisions of numerous moving objects (whose seriousness and frequency drops could just as well be explained by combined and massive improvements made to car safety, making the policy look like even more futile), while a little education of people would actually help some of us recognize early and/or late signs of depression on third parties, allowing for professional help to be reached soon enough. Depression is a bit like drowning: it actually looks nothing like you think it does, but one can be trained to recognize it [0] and reach for competent help accordingly.

Interesting quotes:

From http://incubator.apache.org/lucy/faq.html

Are Lucy and Lucene compatible?

No. Lucy is a "loose" port of Lucene designed to take full advantage of C's unique feature set, rather than a line-by-line translation from Java. The two libraries are not compatible in terms of either file format or API, and there are no plans to establish such compatibility.

Does Lucy provide a search server like Solr?

Lucy is a low-level library, like Lucene. We'd like to provide a search server eventually, but it will likely be a thin wrapper rather than a comprehensive application like Solr. The low-level capabilities are our core mission.

Why don't you use Swig?

A major design goal of Lucy is to present bindings which are as idiomatic as possible so that our users feel as though they are programming in their native language and not in C. Swig is a great tool, but it does not offer support for many of the features which make Lucy so user friendly: subclassing, named parameters, default argument values, etc.

From http://wiki.apache.org/lucy/MinimizingObjectOverhead

Lucy must be designed so that native OO overhead is minimized.

Algorithms which create and destroy as few native objects as possible are preferred.
Native method calls should be avoided for high-volume, performance critical applications. Possible alternatives:
Change the algo to use a for/while loop (either native or C).
Use a C struct with a function pointer.
Use a C function.

I see this pattern a lot. Situations where people trade away their strengths by trying to mimic what's glamourous.

Here's one - look at the way that OS desktops compromise strengths in order to be more like OSX. Microsoft was so focussed on making Windows feel more like aqua that they compromised things where they were strong - like the way you could get around with hotkeys, or set up items in the old start menu to be launched by two keypresses. The gnome team had what was to me the best desktop environment out there and have traded it away in their quest to be the poor-man's Aqua. (Give me window switching - I hate application swiching. In what situation would I want all of my terminals to come to the foreground in front of the web browser I'm copying commands from??)

Hi there,

* I'm in Dublin and my partner in London both in Technology Hub areas.

* We want to build a border less product/s but ideally limit main traveling to Europe.

* Business oriented with main experience in online marketing and also web project management.

* Interested in building products commercially "viable" from the get-go (e.g. communities/ content ideas as a complement are acceptable but not as core). Products must solve problems that people want to pay for.

* We are looking for a technical partner/ founder that can develop initial MVPs and then lead a technical team upon validation.

* Initial ideas are around Kindle Fire apps, marketplaces for humanities graduates but we are really open to more utilitarian/ niche products that can solve problems B2B or B2C
