The main stream adoption of such a technology would require installing bio-metric readers or bio-metric ID card readers at the millions of laptops and desktops and tablets. That's very unlikely to happen before 2017. At the most it can be an optional feature offered by a very few top googles and facebooks of the world, just like two-factor-authentication today is an optional (and rarely used) feature offered by google and facebook.

I think it's a fad. I'm a big fan of it though and I don't think there's anything wrong with fads in design -- designers don't want to keep doing the same stuff over and over again (I presume).

Maybe you're a busy designer and don't have time (or desire) to always experiment with new techniques. If all of a sudden your industry peers getting excited about something, it's like a signal that says it's okay for you to try this out. I'm not sure if it's a "make efficient use of my time" heuristic about what you should devote your attention to, or a "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" safe bet thing. Probably a little of both.

I think you should. You cannot quantify how well you know a programming language X. I have come across such questions in many interviews, and I was like "How can I say - how I rate myself in Java in scale of 1 - 10?". I now avoid that question diplomatically. Some interviewers say, the gauge your confidence level with that but you take that as it is. Like if you tell me I rate myself 3 in C and you wow me with a perfect binary tree traversal algorithm code. I give a st about you the score "3" you are a good programmer to me.

Anyway, you apply to the companies and land yourself a job. You will learn a lot once you start working on something.

Very best for your job search.

Hey ams6110, I'll take a shot at summarizing his argument because I find it interesting.

Ender7 has claimed that a child's education shouldn't vary by his or her parents' wealth, but should be provided by society.

Wnewman's point is basically that when Ender7 says "society" he really means the specific nation that child belongs to. But by Ender7's logic this still isn't fair, because some nations are poorer than others. So unless Ender7 is willing to argue that it's immoral for some societies to provide better education for their children that others, than Ender7 is being inconsistant.
Stallman's arguments are not strictly against market forces. He also attacks authoritarianism, which has a long history of using any justification to control information; so long as we have an authoritarian impulse in our politics, his dystopic vision holds weight.

> I don't get it, are you misunderstanding intentionally so you can smugly accuse people of magical thinking?

I don't get it. In what sense of the word theory is an exact regurgitation of the official documentation of all and only those behaviors of a process's lifecycle a "theory"?

The great-to-the-nth-grandparent was clearly trying to discredit a factual explanation of the situation by referring to it as a theory, because said facts contradicted his anecdotal misunderstanding of the OS's operation.

Anecdotes trumping facts, and cargo cult behavior engaged in because it coincidentally produces a result are the definition of magical thinking.

Dynamic pricing is dumb because it is disruptive to a consistent user experience. I know an Uber ride from points A to B usually costs $X.

Making it easy to find a limo but charging me a lot more when I'm already pissed off is a bad move.

It has been years since I visited the website, but I remember FMyLife.com simply displaying the "approved" posts to anonymous users. If you register, though, you can rate posts but also view the incoming queue. It seemed to be successful because I never saw spam in the anonymous view and the spam posts in the new queue seemed to already have marks against it. To me it doesn't seem like PostSecret would be any different, but maybe I'm missing something (possibly because it's an iOS app we're discussing).

Also, is anyone aware of any websites crowdsourcing moderation through Amazon's mturk? It seems like that might work and it sounds cheaper than moderating 30k secrets a day in house (but it would probably be less accurate).
"The water can be used to heat salt that stores the energy until later, when the sun dips and households power up their appliances and air-conditioning at peak demand hours in the summer."

Air-condition after sunset? Maybe, but that's an edge case for sure.

So if this thing actually costs $737MM to build, then the energy it stores would have to be sold at around around $200/Megawatt to pay back the loan in 10 years. More, if you want to cover operating costs.

What's the catch? That's far above current market rates.

Neither of us should mistake our preferences for some kind of universal fact.

The public commons are a space that needs to be governed by the balancing of competing interests. Sao Paulo has evidently chosen to balance those interests in a way I would prefer given my preferences and needs, but you would not given yours.

All consumers are publishers now, so there appears to be room for a phase transition. We collectively have a choice, like two Nash equilibria. IP vs Free.

I imagine we would save a lot of man-hours from defining and fighting man-made statutory IP laws that may not be beneficial after all. See the inefficiencies of the patent system, and the brilliant minds wasted(?) on circumventing man-made restrictions. Not to mention the potential for abuse by regimes, as chipsy mentions.

I believe the Free equilibrium point has a lower potential energy. Therefore I advocate it. Where the modern entrepreneur programmer fits, I'm trying to figure out.

Sorry, let me be more precise.

After completing a course you correctly associated new knowledge with the potential for a cool project in an area which has been made very attractive ("hot") following Google's announcement of self-driving vehicles. You then wrote up the project in very nice prose with informative pictures and a great above-the-fold hook that makes me say, "Wow, I need to read more."

This project is a code sample, writing sample, presentation, and creativity example all in one, and it answers the "Should we hire this person?" question immediately. For that, I commend you.

Out of curiosity, did the PISA study compare the level of parental involvement in a child's education between the countries? This NYT, http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/20/opinion/sunday/friedman-ho... , article has a link to PISA conclusions about parental involvement from a 2009 study and shows that children with involved parents tend to do better academically.

While we're dealing with complex cultural systems with thousands of moving parts, reforming the education system to improve parental involvement might yield significant gains. As it stands now, the system offers little to no incentive for parents to actively get involved with their kid's education. You place the kid(s) on the bus at 7 in the morning and don't see 'em again until 3-4pm or later if they do after school activities. No incentive to get involved at the school during the day or afterwards. As a personal anecdote, I've met several people who view public education as nothing more than day care, kids in at 7, free time until 4pm or later with no involvement outside of "mandatory" meetings.
It's the difference between a reference book and a textbook: a reference book is better if you already know what you are looking for. In a mass of complex multi-dimensional data, it's easy to show it however you want, but difficult to find patterns between variables you thought unrelated.

I think HTML obviously is allowed to call something "pure CSS," since an HTML document is required to even load CSS, and CSS rules can only apply to DOM elements. JavaScript, however, shouldn't be allowed.

Ask HN: "The audience is never wrong" and university teaching
I saw the quote "The audience is never wrong. Never." on PG's website, and I thought I might ask the HN community for advice.

I am a first-year assistant professor of mathematics in a second-tier state university. I have been a very effective teacher in the past, even in lower level classes, and I eagerly volunteered to teach freshman calculus my first semester here.

It is common for more than half of students to get C's and below here, so I decided to be fairly strict about homework, and to assign a lot of it. This proved extremely unpopular with my students. Worse, it didn't even result in improved exam performance, my students didn't do any better than others taking the same class with other profs, despite the fact that I made them work harder.

I spent a little time muttering to myself that my students are stupid and lazy, but... "the audience is never wrong." it is my responsibility to teach the students that I have, and I want to do it as well as possible. I measure it by a combination of: student happiness with the course, amount and quality of work I get the students to do (within reason), and performance on exams.

I am seeking plenty of advice from colleagues (some of which is at least a little bit jaded and cynical). However, I feel HN may well be an interesting and very different place to ask for advice -- most HN'ers have an active interest in math and science, and if you want to make money you have to somehow figure out what customers want.

I should mention that I solicited feedback from students, but didn't get much useful other than "assign less homework" and "go slower". (With respect to the latter, I should note that I have to cover a fixed amount of material and I have already gutted my course of proofs.)

I'm rather discouraged. I consider myself a good teacher, but this seems hopelessly abstract at the moment and despite my best efforts I seem to have done a poor job in the classroom this past term.

Does anyone have any thoughts or advice to offer? Perhaps, what questions to ask of myself or of my former students or TA?

Thank you very much!

Not that I don't believe you, but really?

For example, any website I've built I can surely make with just a text editor but I'll lay it out with ps first. That way I can go back and check what colors / gradients / dimensions I used to speed up the process.

I would image this would require something similar but to the nth degree. That is, I count 20 something <b></b> tags to make the clouds in the mail icon. Is that really just guess and check?!
Go for it, the worst they can do is say no. Don't limit yourself to the box of only having "<1 year of experience with Language X", think about what skills you bring to the table other than experience in that language. Have you built an open source project, even a tiny one? Can you learn new languages and technologies fast?

Emphasize the other things you bring to the table other than your ability to sling code in a specific programming language! In the long run, possessing the ability to critically think and solve problems will carry you much further along than possessing mad skills in Languages X,Y, or Z when you first apply. You can learn 'em all as needed. ;)

Best of luck!

> in a system which is open only to those who inherited Finnish citizenship.

False.

In Finland, basic education is a legal obligation for every resident. If you come from abroad and are of sufficient age, you will be placed into school if you don't have a very good reason to not be in one. There are not always enough decent international school places (and most young people lack the language skills to efficiently study in most international facilities), but we do our best to provide the opportunity to learn for every visitor and citizen alike.

Sometimes the mandatory nature of basic schooling puts us in odds with some visitors, since schooling or the school values (e.g. evolution in curricula) is at odds with the visitor families. In those cases, the families might face custody disputes (ignoring proper education is seen as child abuse) vs. the state or deportation. Or both. Home-schoolers are obliged to follow the same standard frame of curricula and I understood they are tested in some extent by authorities.
Okay how about "have a founder who knows Levar Burton & have him tweet to a landing page before you're even live...". This is such a huge boost out of the gate, I don't know why you try to downplay it.
Perhaps I'm missing the point: besides a cool demonstration for what CSS can do (when aided by JS), why is this a useful idea?

For anything practical, would one not be better off not being a purist, and using images etc? After all, image formats were meant to store graphics. I'm sure I'm missing something, since I've lately seen a lot of these "pure CSS" things. But what is it?

[Edit: apparently, it is meant exclusively as a demo. And it's pretty slick at that]

I haven't written many external-facing web projects (I can generally trust each of the couple dozen users of my internal applications) so I don't have much experience in this field, but still I can't imagine an application I might want to write someday that would consume user submitted code (save for a product like CodePad but I figure there are plenty of those already :).)
You make sound like the administration did not want the powers granted by the bill. This is incorrect. The administration initially opposed the language because they believed it restricted powers they already had to detain indefinatly.

Because the authorities codified in this section already exist, the Administration does not believe codification is necessary and poses some risk."
