As per the Guidelines:

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Can the OP or someone else offer a perspective as to the relevancy/connection with startups/hacking/entrepreneurs or intellectual curiosity... perhaps I'm missing an obvious link here as I'm lost...?
Ahh right. That makes sense.

That said, I can't see Science (the magazine) being mentioned in the article anywhere - unless the "Science" in "Science Insider" and "US National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity" refers to the magazine.
OK well I'll give you my personal perspective. For learning python, python.org actually has a very good tutorial. Then there is also http://www.diveintopython.net/ which is excellent.
For web frameworks I use cherrypy which is very minimal. Seeing as you want to learn, I'd recommend you start with that as you'll get a better overview of what's really going on in the guts of a web framework.
Emacs is excellent but I switched to Eclipse for its subversion integration.
I wouldn't give too much weight to that graph. To date, the biggest challenge with H5N1 is reporting. Primary outbreaks have occurred in parts of the world where the monitoring and reporting networks are sadly inadequate. It is likely that if you had full reporting on all infections, and not just those that resulted in mass fatalities, that the actual mortality would be less. Also (see my other comment), it is typical for a virus's mortality to be roughly inversely proportional to its infectivity.

Edit: I should add, however, that the H5N1 threat is very real and very troubling. Not end-of-the-world troubling, but set-humanity-back-a-handful-of-decades troubling to be sure...
congrats to nodejs , it is the shiny new thing, but it is still not there yet

rails is lot older and it came to github when forking was the norm , watching came lot later

in terms of forks nodejs is half the popularity of rails, but I wish more contributors for nodejs
Truth is, most/many publicly accessible (or even private) technological infrastructures it's very difficult to discern between external attacks and self-inflicted damage, or even system/component failures.

It's probable that you're under a constant low-level attack -- bots and script kiddies at the very least. If your infrastructure's interesting enough, there may even be targeted attacks. Your own ops / eng team is probably your biggest threat (just plain shit happening, though intentional damage does happen). Parts breaking, or various buckets overflowing generally don't help matters much. Since you're talking about a system with usually at a minimum hundreds of discrete subsystems, let alone the number of physical components, interconnects, and external dependencies, it's difficult to monitor it all let alone have a solid sense of what's going on. Your best bet is some overall metric of system/site health.

I worked for ... a large Internet presence where an apparently unauthorized access to an admin tool (unknown username) and resetting of system parameters was traced (with the help of the internal security team) ... to our own office. The dipshit doing this sat two chairs over but hadn't piped up during several days' worth of "WTF is going on / who's accessing this system as 'username'".

Don't ask me how my Thanksgiving went.
Yeah let's keep spending money on the TSA groping everyone, terrorists would never just spread a super-flu instead.

Ironically the TSA could be the ones to spread a virus from person to person because I am sure they do not change gloves on every grope?
You will see a contract that says "Employee to start July 1st. Employment is at will. Either party may terminate with two weeks notice". You will think the first is the most important. The student might find the last clause most important.

When the student calls in January to give several months notice that they wont be accepting the offer, you have a fucking tantrum and say that the student is unethical and unprofessional. You will imagine in your head that the contract meant "Notice cannot be given until after employment has commenced". That this clause is not there will not bother you. Thats what you thought it meant, and by golly you are a man of your word, whereas this student is clearly a liar and a cheat, weaseling out of a contract with word tricks.

I have met many moral absolutists, and their primary attribute is that everyone else is a liar and a cheat. They then use that excuse to break any deal they chose.

There is an interesting short story called "Talking To God" [1], which postulates that sentient species only survive if every individual has the ability to destroy the entire world, but chooses not to.

Our capacity for mass destruction is only going to get worse. I think it's far more efficacious to look toward managing that reality than to try to postpone or prevent it.

Hire Android Development Services.
The number of people switching from PCs and laptops to smart phones in growing by the day. The reason for this is that smart phones such as the i Phone and others are becoming more advanced and thus enabling users to achieve more than just making a call or texting friends and family. Just like the PC or laptop needs an operating system to function, the smart phone also needs its own operating system. One of the widely used operating system for smart phones is Android. Companies that want applications developed on Android prefer to hire Android application development services.

This is important because you will have a difficult time deciding on which type of programmer to hire if you have insufficient information about the operating system. There are plenty or resources available on the internet that will provide all the essential information about Android operating systems. These resources include websites, articles as well as online forums.
Thanks for your comment. I strive to be a great maker, so I love programming languages!

You are right in some sense, though. I think about the parent's and your questions from time to time. The thing is, I actually do love Python too. It's just that, as an outsider, I find the the Ruby community much more vibrant, and I sometimes envy the stuff over there.

I have a deep affection to most programming languages in general though, I do not think that I should choose one of them over the others. For example, contrary to general opinion, I find some parts of Perl beautiful too, and even this year have read a few Perl books.

As to why I happened to choose Python over Ruby, there are historical reasons. The first reason is that, as a previous academic, I first learned Python for SciPy, considering it as a replacement as MATLAB. Being that Python was backed by Google was a plus at the time.

It was when the App Engine was announced with Python support that I started making a few websites with Python, only to discover shortly that Django was the most popular way to go for making websites in Python (I would also highly recommend Flask as an alternative too, now).

Now, at this point I was proficient enough in Django, and started looking at Rails. I was immediately struck by some of its aspects, but still web programming was not my full-time job; and I feared that since Rails was moving so fast at the time, and that it relied on convention more than the explicitness of Django, I thought that after a week of not working on my project, I would forget some of that implicit stuff.

This, I believe is also the major reason why most people don't like Perl -- a chicken and egg problem. My impression is that those who do not like Perl are not people who code full-time on Perl (surprise!) and so view Perl programs incomprehensible after they maintain the code after a break. It is similar to natural language in that if you do not use it, you tend to forget some of the stuff that makes things very easy; while I would describe Python as more like solving a maths/geometry problem - easier to recall, easier to maintain.

So, I love Python, but it's just that I also love most of these languages, and some parts of them more; Smalltalk, amazing in its world concept, Lisp (and now Clojure) beautiful with their flexibility. But where do I find a Clojure job, if I don't create that job opening myself with a personal project? I believe it is a general feeling on HN, most people have an affection for Lisp, but for some reason, do not (or can not) use it in their daily jobs.

Regarding your comment about Peter Norvig though, actually, he is a prominent guy speaking for Lisp; it is just that Python is more comprehensible by students (as it is closer to pseudo-code), that he has chosen to use it.
A fork is a mere 'git clone'. The brilliance and simplicity of SHA1s makes linking repos as trivial as a git remote add. I venture it would be quite costly to actively look at every commit of a new repo to match it with every other commit in every other github repo (unless they start maintaining a global index of all SHA1s->repos). So for now Github merely records that one cloned a repo, and I seriously won't blame them for that.

If the guy did things properly, although inconvenient we could just do that to merge back, but apparently what he did was rewrite or recreate history in some way, so that SHA1s changed so it's not even possible to add remote[0]. I guess that even with no common ancestor SHA1s one could still use rebase --onto to replay some part of his history.

Either way I can't tell because the repo is 404 now and I did not have a chance to browse it, let alone clone it.

PS: I like some of your ideas, like hiding forks that can be fast-forwarded (i.e they have no changes i.e their HEADs are members of the parent repo), and detecting that one has pushed a repo that is obviously a clone of another, although I'd rather have it be manual (like a message on the github's console saying "we detected that this repo could be a clone of that repo, do you want to mark it as a fork?")

The flu is an interesting beast. Let's say you are a flu virus that has just landed in someone's lung tissue. What's your next move? You had best get inside of a cell, and quick! You see, the human body has agents called white blood cells out looking for you.

Ok, now what's your next move? Well, you want to reproduce. Really, that's all you want to do. You don't care if you reproduce in this host or another host, so long as you get the chance to make many, many offspring. The problem is, eventually this host's immune system will catch on and eradicate you. So, you had best make plans to find a new host.

Now you have two choices:

1. You could reproduce rapidly. This will allow you to generate the greatest number of viral particles before the host immune system catches on. Unfortunately, as you reproduce your host will become ill. They will be less mobile and more likely to be quarantined, so you might end up coming in contact with fewer potential new hosts.

2. You could reproduce at a measured pace. You'll end up with fewer offspring total before the immune system knocks you out, but if you can leave your host mostly healthy, then they are more likely to bring you in contact with more potential new hosts.

As for why you are contagious before the onset of symptoms, that is due to another rather interesting feature of the flu. You see, the flu can cause damage in a variety of different ways. Obviously, taking over the machinery of a cell to make new virus particles is not good for the cell or a tissue. However, that's not the most damaging effect that flu can have.

For particularly fatal cases of the flu, what happens is that so many viral particles are produced so rapidly that the body's immune system goes into overdrive. Never underestimate the power of the human immune system, especially the power to kill humans! This is why the Spanish flu, the Swine flu, and H5N1 are most devastating to relatively young, relatively healthy individuals (their immune systems are the strongest).

So, the flu symptoms that result from the body's own immune system causing damage will only occur (obviously) once the immune system has already engaged and begun neutralizing the virus. Hence, this is why flu is typically only communicative before the onset of symptoms.

Edit: I should add that despite this interesting feature of the flu, almost all diseases are primarily communicable before the onset of symptoms. This has as much to do with the immune system as it does with the fact that generalized symptoms won't set in until the buggers have already been reproducing for a while.
Personally, I think the desire to 'appear' interesting vein and is futile. All of these 'tips' are just novelties. Even if you dedicate your entire life to appearing interesting, you'll just end up with party tricks, not real substance.

I quickly learned in my profession that there are two types of people: 1) those who create the perception that they matter, and 2) those that actually matter.

This list is designed to create a perception. How about just doing something you love, do it with passion, achieve success, and go from there?

The system knows when you are in an Apple Store (it is a feature built into the location API apparently (it's an option in the emulator!)) and after you "take a picture" of the barcode it simply communicates with iTunes and charges your card.

Very awesome system in that it removes yet another bit of friction from the buying experience. I no longer have to wait for someone to be available to pay for my purchase, I simply pick it up, pay for it using my iTunes account, and leave the store.
I don't believe for a second any of the published piracy rates for any app/game.

The reason I don't is that I have seen how easy it is to trigger these kinds of errors by mistake (or from my personal philosophy of assuming malicious intent until proven wrong) and how beneficial it is to the creators of the programs.
Saying that "Javascript is fundamentally sound" is like saying "McDonalds serves fundamentally nutritious food". It's technically true, but ignores completely what people actually mean when they use the phrases like "fundamentally sound".
It definitely is a very interesting finding, but if it wasn't placebo controlled, then its not really demonstrating anything. Bear in mind that deep brain stimulation is placebo responsive, which suggests that this could be easily too. That being said, the structural changes are quite interesting. I suppose i'll have to wait for the full paper, and there's no mention of sample size in the article either.
"I view this as simple ethics. You keep your word, period."

In general I agree. But what is the limitation? "I will work for you" is filled if you quit half way through your first day on the job and that's far worse for the employer than if you bailed out in advance.

"If a company rescinds their offer due to no fault of your own (e.g, misrepresentation), then it's just as unethical as you rescinding your acceptance of the offer."

I am going to say here that someone giving an exploding offer based on when you say your other interviews are is at least guilty here. I would argue that if someone does this, they entirely deserve what they get.
this explains how honest people get billed, but says nothing of how they manage loss-prevention.
The trouble is not making the vaccine. As soon as you have the virus you can make the vaccine. The trouble is that we currently lack the capacity to rapidly produce large quantities of the vaccine.

Why do we lack the capacity? Because there's no profit in making flu vaccines! Gotta love capitalism, eh?

The university group can do it because it can pay $500k to our biotech industry for pre-researched and in-production batches of chemicals, equipment, and other supplies. North Korea doesn't have that biotechnology industry to start with and would be starting over from a cottage industry.
The point is that morality doesn't and shouldn't play into it. Usually companies don't follow moral principle but rather legal principle. Smart individual should do the same thing. Otherwise they are and will be abused and taken advantage of.

There is a middle ground of course. Not unbending personal morality above all else but rather a good faith effort to both stand up for yourself in safe ways and to stand by the interests of those who you want to stand by yours.

This is why I am not opposed to withdrawing acceptance of an exploding offer at the last minute. It's better for the employer and yourself if you quit then rather than two weeks into the job.

"The researchers reported that TDCS gave a six-times baseline boost to the amplitude of a brain wave generated in response to stimulating a sensory nerve in the arm. The boost was not seen when mock TDCS was used, which produced a similar sensation on the scalp, but was ineffective in exciting brain tissue."

This seems to indicate that it was placebo controlled, but I am also interested to see the published paper.
I like the "idea" of tablets, especially as represented by the iPad, but I don't have one, and this is one of the reasons. Maybe the reality of the iPad3 will be the first to get me excited enough to buy into the vision.

Drawing synthetically or constructively is a different skill. And learning to draw observationally, that is learning to see, is still a prerequisite.

Knowing anatomy, by the way, doesn't necessarily help you draw. I've had doctors that specialize in anatomy in class and they were terrible at drawing until they learned to see. They could recognize and label the parts, and they could even do a simple 2D schematic type diagram of muscles, but put a real 3D, foreshortened person in front of them and they were just as awkward as anyone else.

Before 20th century: man can destroy man.

20th century: mankind can destroy mankind.

21st century: man can destroy mankind.

Edit: let me just add that I'm extremely positive about the future, it's just that there are certain challenges that we as a society must deal with.

The ability for one man or a small group of men to more or less wipe out the human race will be in our reach within perhaps just a few years.

We can deal with this by different control mechanisms in our society. I'm a firm believer in the transparent society but the way things are going right now we seem to be moving towards a government controlled big brother society.

Is that the way we want it? Now is the time to discuss these issues if we want to change route.
