Ask HN: In what language should I invest my time?
A couple years ago I was a C++ dev; I then switched to Python (and really enjoyed it for a while), but I'm getting a bit tired of it. So, I'm searching a new language/community/framework to invest my time in.. I'm thinking something between node, clojure, Qi, or Objective-C(With all the iphone development obviously)..

What do you think? (Note that I've already read a bit on these languages and few others)
It would be a more impressive feature if it didn't fail to work during the keynote, not to mention that it can be thwarted by a picture of the person.

The general refinement of the Android UX is by far the most impressive feature of 4.0. Face Unlock is just a lame, poorly thought out gimmick IMO.
True. It also implies that employees are fungible.

This is a common assumption but employees should nevertheless recognize their artificially constrained career prospects in such a system.
Yea, "artificial scarcity" is the key word.
There is some truth in this comment, but better say the same thing in a more constructive way.
solution is to install the adBlockPlus extension, open up any page, say, techcrunch.com, then open the extension dialog and block external domains like twitter, facebook, google, google-analytics, etc.
My father used to tell me stories about when he was a manager within a factory (a good 30-40 years ago... he is 70 next year) essentially the employment rate for tradesmen was at maximum and essentially the only way to hire new help was to go out and offer someone who already had a job more cash/perks I don't think its wrong in any way to poach. its just a change of how the employment market will work when there are not enough skilled labor around to fill the needs of everyone.

The Government understands the impossibility of eradicating strong crypto. Its objective is instead to prevent unbreakable encryption from becoming routine.

Wow! While this article was from 1994 this is a telling quote.
[Edit: since the parent post was deleted while I was typing my response, it claimed HD could only mean exactly 720 and 1080 vertical pixels.]

720p and 1080p, in common parlance, typically include whatever vertical resolution corresponds to 1280 or 1920 horizontal pixels for aspect ratios greater than 16:9, and whatever horizontal resolution corresponds to 720 or 1080 vertical pixels for aspect ratios less than 16:9.

For example, "720p" can be used, colloquially, to refer to 2.35:1 videos at 1280x544 or 4:3 videos at 960x720.

The resolution of the Nook screen is quoted in the parent post as 1024x600, which is 1.7067, between 16:9 (1024x576) and 16:10 (1024x640). Presumably 1024x600 is a good choice of resolution because it allows 800x600 and 1024x576 content to be displayed without scaling.
How is this a simple solution? What does an individual value more, income stability or their information access?

With a little less snark, employee's should consider alternative employment.
Compositions of people are not individuals.

Yikes. Mine has yet to arrive and I already don't want it. Great review.
We'll have to see what happens to the evaluation systems once the term ends, but at the very least you can sign up for all the classes and download the videos.

More importantly, for evaluation purposes, the quizzes and exercises can be submitted late, though penalized in points. Since what you get out of the course for having a high score (a certificate/letter of completion?) is worth about as much as toilet paper, you can still do the exercises and be evaluated on them even weeks later. We'll have to see if they keep the system running past the end of the semester - probably won't happen with ML, but maybe DB will stick around a bit.

AI, well, that doesn't have any homework.

So, next semester, sign up for all the courses, stick with all of them past the introduction week, pick one or you you'll focus on, and dabble in the rest.

Well, maybe not the CS101 course...
I wrote every line of LoseThos. I was trained at Ticketmaster in 1990-1996 on their VAX operating system. I modified the ticketmaster PASCAL compiler adding += and -=. I increased the size of map files in the linker. I wrote a scandisk/fix thing for their file system. I wrote a file compression package for VAX and PC. I wrote a device driver reset routine for one of their multiplexed serial port devices. Then I worked on hardware -- bar code reader, networker, minor issues with ticketprinter, line voltage regulator.

I can prove I had the skills to do LoseThos. You watched me do it. I wrote every line. You don't like it. I'm in prison.

So this is not a new idea, it's been around for decades, and just fallen in and out of vogue. And now they present an [their] opinion piece on the topic.

I hardly think "shakes foundations" in the HN title and more of the same hyperbole in the article is warranted
>Both are total body exposures,

no. Again, you just don't get it. The absorbtion site and effects on it also depends on the type and frequency of the radition. Back-scatter is mostly absorbed by skin while the radiation experinced while in the flight comes in different frequency range (more energetic gamma rays which pass through and backscatter less from the matter, incl. aircraft shell and human body and thus result in more even absorbtion through the body).

We're using FreeBSD jails, i.e. operating system-level virtualization. They provide all the security and process isolation that we need without a lot of the unnecessary features of heavier weight virtualization. Saying that though, we're running in EC2 so we are also using Xen beneath.

Please feel free to ask any questions about the technology we're building!

"They rob us with their high prices, yet they throw a tantrum when we rob them back"

Last I checked, nobody is putting a gun to your head to buy a piece of software that you feel is overpriced for your perceived benefit. And that certainly does not give you the right to just outright steal it. There simply is no moral justification for that - it's theft, plain and simple.

If you feel something is overpriced, then don't buy it - either go with an alternative, or build a competing product and disrupt. But I daresay they are justified in 'throwing a tantrum' when people steal their stuff.
All Microsoft has to do is to publicly state they don't support SOPA. This is hard to believe because they supported PIPA.

The conclusion Microsoft suports SOPA by helping support an organzation that supports it is inescapable.
Simple != easy.

That said, there's been a lot of links on the front page suggesting a seller's market for developer talent.
Good article, but I call bullshit on this- " Ten years ago, total daily adult-site traffic averaged less than 1 million unique visitors—on the entire Internet".

Really? Really? Only 1 million people on the planet viewed porn on the internet every day circa 2000? No way I believe that. According to http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm, there were around 360 million internet users in Decemeber 2000. So of the people who used the internet, only ~0.3% viewed pornography on any given day?
No mention of the two Entrepreneurship classes? Were they not there originally?

Technology Entrepreneurship: http://www.startup-class.org/

Learn Launchpad: http://www.launchpad-class.org/

--------------------

So what are these courses? Video isn't working for me at the moment but judging by the descriptions they seem to be more involved than the CS courses:

Quoting from the Launchpad description:

Instead you will be getting your hands dirty talking to
customers, partners, competitors, as you encounter the
chaos and uncertainty of how a startup actually works.

EDIT: 10 minutes later, the Technology Entrepreneurship class redirects to a blank page and is no longer linked to from the other courses...

Hey, think this means there might be even more courses coming out later?

Cool idea! The biggest risk of volunteering yourself to get poached is that your company finds out BEFORE you get poached. Everyone loses :-(

If you block people at the same company, that could be a good way around it for sure.

Do you think salary is the only thing that motivates people wanting to leave? Ancillary benefits to the job may be greater motivators for current employees to switch jobs, no?
I would disagree in this case, this petition has hit a threshold which will cause the White House staff to officially respond to it. At worst, if the response isn't what the constituents want, it may change their election votes.
Actually, could be a good management tool as well. I could use this on projects to keep track of development efforts without having to have my tech lead write me status updates.

I check commit logs whenever I can but, getting it right to me email in a daily digest would be a blessing.
Yep, we thought about that. We only provide a way for companies to contact you through an anonymous email (similar to Craigslist) so we decided it wasn't a key feature.

Yeah, it's a metaphor that analogizes people and property.

I wouldn't have any qualms about working with, say, purchasing managers who talked about "poaching" component orders from one another, because they'd be talking about property as property.

Do you really not see the difference?
Great idea, bad name however. Also, might I suggest SSL for the "enter your credit card number" part?
There is so much noise out there that mediocre companies manage to position themselves as the best of the best, or at least manage to make the best companies look foolish at this point.

The problem is that it's a lot easier to imitate the talking points of successful startup than it is to actually imitate the success.

This tiny feature alone makes it a serious contender for me.

However, I'll definitely wait for the first real-world reviews to learn whether ICS finally does away with the infuriating stalls and input lags that have plagued all of my previous android devices (up to the SGS).
Since the emails are anonymous (e.g. q8XR1BB2TokDXslewseDlGc9E@pleasepoach.me) and your name isn't provided, there's no way your company can find out if you're on the site--unless it's just you and your co-founder :(
Blocking people like that would simply let people compare two lists and give you confirmation on who that person is from the discrepancy. That would be bad.

The private right of action in SOPA is actually modeled on the DMCA notice. Let's say a record label asks PayPal to stop payments to an allegedly "infringing site". PayPal must notify the allegedly infringing site of that request within 5 days. If that site provides a counter-notification, PayPal leaves the site alone and checks out of the whole process. From that point, the record label has to go to a judge to try to get an injunction against the site (with all the associated burden of proof, etc).

The DNS blocking is only available to federal law enforcement; a private complaint can't pull DNS under any circumstance.
What about this that is just next to the weird circle thing. Did noone catch this, or is there a good explanation for this one:

Not sure what you mean by "money management" and "what next?" These seem like terms used to question what exactly do do with your money once you get it?

I'm not sure why you would need to set up a LP, or LLP unless your startup is just your code and not a legal entity. My email address is in my profile, send me an email if you would like some more help.

I like the idea, +1 for originality. Just some thoughts though: Not that I have much experience from the employer standpoint, but the fact that I have to keep paying (even if it's $50) each time, will always leave a constant reminder that I'm spending money. That, coupled with the fact that I'm not sure what quality of candidates you'll be showing me (and I KNOW how bad headhunters can be trying to cram someone where they don't fit, just for that commission) seems like you'd have trouble getting anyone to fork over $150+ on this. Not that I have better specific suggestions, but trying to get one big lump sum might work better, as it's easier to spend once, as opposed to multiple times. And one last thing, I don't how long ago you launched, or if you already did this, but i'd try to find as many alpha tester companies (give it to em free) and candidates as possible, cuz if I just spent my third round of $50, and I"m seeing the same people, kiss it GOODBYE, and I'll be sure to warn my friends. Like I said though, you could be there already, I don't know, it's just a thought that crossed my mind.

Also to be clear, I wasn't really laying into you. It's a top-down problem.
It's cases like these that make Academia seem like such an antiquated idea. The fact that institutions support the locking away of research, much of which paid for by public funds and written by authors that intended fair use of their information, reeks of hypocrisy. The fact that no one in academia has spoke up on this case is damming to say the least. We as a society really need to rapidly come to the conclusion that not everything need be for a buck, especially when that something was paid for already via public funds and the true creators of that content never intended for these lech quasi-Academia organization, to be able to milk their work for generations.

But what happens if you get "poached" by the company you currently work for? Is the idea that the company will contact you non-anonymously?

They've found a theorem that can subject the physical reality of the wavefunction to experimental tests. That's new, and it means this potentially won't be a matter of opinion any longer.

"Shakes foundations" is the title of the Nature summary, and it reflects the enthusiasm of the distinguished theoretical physicists quoted in the article.
I really only care about one feature: Does it still lock up and stall for multiple seconds at a time randomly?
I think you're really stretching here. The core issue is whether companies value their employees--that comes through in how the employees actually get treated, not the use of one word vs. another.
I agree, ancillary benefits could be just as (or even more) important than salary; in my case salary isn't even in the top 5 things that are motivating me to change my job - even on the low side of the market rate for developers you can have a very nice standard of living.

Personally, other motivations for me include:
- Being able to work with a team with diverse skills, who're smarter / more talented than me and can help me to improve myself
- Working in an environment where people care about doing quality work
- Having a decent amount of leave and a reasonable work day (~8 hours or less)
- Having varied and interesting work, or at least not repeatedly building variations on the same theme
- Doing something that is good for the world, or at the very least not evil

Wow, I knew there was some people viewed Yelp negatively, but judging from the comments here, Yelp has a credibility problem more serious than I realize.

The thing that I've found Yelp most useful for nowadways is little tidbits of useful information like store hours and the key combinations to Starbuck's restrooms (I hate having to ask to go the restroom like a 4 year old).
As a hiring manager, this does not make sense. Why should I pay $50 just to make initial contact with one person, and then still have to do the full recruiting and interviewing process?

Recruiters will do all that for me for free, and pre-screen everyone, so it is the same net result to me, at least on the front-end of the hiring process.

FYI, answering this question here isn't the point - your site needs to clearly tell hiring managers why it is better for THEM. You won't get a chance to open a dialogue with them when they view your site.
So does this imply that the universe is deterministic?
Yeah, but I don't think it would be difficult to match experience and projects to a person, especially if the company is small. I love the idea, though.
No, it's not. You need to put it in the About field for it to be visible.

> The point is that such radical changes in a culture can have unforeseen consequences for our psychology and society.

The old order had unseen consequences for our psychology and society too. The strong taboo against divorce enabled a lot of domestic violence and unhappy marriages, gays faced a lot of serious problems, and infidelity was rampant. Sexual repression itself has psychological consequences. We're still seeing the knock-on effects of this today.

You're making a cultural evolution argument as well, and my counterargument is that cultural evolution doesn't capture everything that we want to have in our society. Societies can function with the repression of women and minorities, with domestic violence, with marital infidelity. But all things considered, wouldn't we rather live in a society that functioned without those things, and with more satisfying sex to boot?

Furthermore, with the modern state of technology, the old order is probably unworkable anyway, even from the standpoint of cultural evolution. The old order was patriarchial and oppressive to women. It was always wrong, but in a time when women didn't work outside the home it was at least sustainable. In our modern economy that's no longer the case.
