I am an introvert male and one book that really helped me be assertive, certain, spontaneous, and happy in the social arena is "No more Mr Nice Guy" by Robert Glover. Highly recommended!

http://www.amazon.com/No-More-Mr-Nice-Guy/dp/0762415339

I have the audiobook version and it's one of few audiobooks that I've listened to more than once.

I also have a mindmap of the book if anyone wants it.

Do whatever exercise works for you. For some it'll be lifting weights in the gym, for others it's something else. I've tried the gym but it didn't really work for me. I enjoy mountain biking, running and for a long time went swimming every lunchtime. Those activities just worked better for me. Someone was suggesting climbing which is another good activity if you want to involve your mind as well as your body.

You'll still get the benefit of being away from your work for a short while, doing something physical and focussing on improving at something else.

The point is you don't switch contexts, you maintain parallel contexts.
Great article! This is definitely something that I had always thought about. The extroverted bias is definitely something that should be rethought. In my experience, I feel much more productive working alone rather than in groups. It allows me to work at my own pace. In working alone, I can keep my assumptions in my head, and have a full understanding of what my tasks are and what needs to be done to be completed. I feel my preference for this work style comes off as closed off, but having worked in different environments I know this way yields the best results for me. Working too often in groups gives a false sense of unanimity, where differing approaches are suppressed. I've also seen decisions be dragged on much longer than it really should take.
Working out at home is a possible answer then. I regularly use and therefore highly recommend the simplefit[1] routines.
It consists of 3 different "days" (endurance, strength and judgement) which all consist of different combinations of pull-ups, push-ups and squats.

All you need equipment-wise is a pull-up bar. I have a wall-mounted pull-up bar which is very stable. Maybe a cheap one for the doorframe will do the trick as well.

simplefit consists of progressively harder levels[2]. If you manage to finish "day 3" (judgement) in under 5 minutes, you go to the next level.

EDIT: forgot to mention that the simplefit exercises are done with bodyweight only. Also, they are laid out in a way that will keep your heart pumping and thus you will get fit pretty fast and in a time-efficient manner. No routine takes longer than 20 minutes. In fact, only "day 1" is ultimately bound by time (20 mins), the others are to be finished "as fast as you safely can". This is key for me and the reason I stuck to it over many weeks now. It doesn't take long and I still see results.

Hey beatle, are you a PR rep for Apple? You've become kind of conspicuous coming into every single thread on HN that mentions Apple and either defending their actions or trying to deflect attention on to some other issue. It's extremely consistent and you talk very little on any other topics, you're a one-issue sort of guy.
Are you sure you don't want to ban swear words too? Banning racist remarks on a trolling platform seems almost like forbidding anything pink on a my little pony site.

oldstrangers, beatle, who you are debating with, seems to be a PR rep for Apple, he comes into every thread that mentions Apple and advances the positives and deflects the negatives. He doesn't respond to most other threads, it's Apple ones he goes for specifically. This sort of single-topic commenter doesn't match the usage pattern of real people, they are always working for someone.

I'd suggest one thing if anyone reads this and gets down heartened about their lack of ability to generate early revenue. Whilst looking for revenue as soon as possible certainly makes sense I think you can get momentum to sustain you through the highs/lows in other ways. Certainly looking at usage metrics can help convince you you're moving in the right direction. But most important to me has been trying to move things forward every day. There are days where that's not possible, but the default evening activity is to do even just 30 mins or and hour on my project. Even if things seem a struggle, there's usually something interesting to work on which will make at least a small improvement.

To counter the obvious criticism here, I am aware that this could lead to maintaining optimism working on something which will never generate revenues. You still need to have a plan to generate cash and to test your assumptions about how that will work.

You should calm down, the furiousness with which you defending Apple would only lead to people assuming that you are not taking their points seriously.

Now, Yelp case is where Google acted selfish. There is a thin line between a commercial entity being evil (not kill-people evil but steal-your-ideas-or-money-or-data evil) and it being selfish. Google definitely acted selfish, just like any other corporation should and does. The line that separates selfishness and evil is unfortunately subjective (and often biased) which means that while you see something as clearly evil, others find it just selfish - I am pretty sure that no one here is going to deem these actions selfless; we are not that naive.

Now, to your points here and at other places:

(1) Google made in Open Source Operating System. It is by definition (with some exceptions to how it was enforced), open source. If there was no Android, there would have probably been no competition to Apple and hence no leverage against them.

(2) Android is not a necessary software; which means that if arbitrary restrictions like "Only to be used on labour-friendly devices" are put, there is no way a third party OEM is going to sign it; there are replacements available and we have already seen (with R. Stallman) that overly offensive campaigns do not go well with majority.

(3) Google is not charging anything directly for the OS. This means that they cannot put forward conditions to manufacturers like "I will charge you $10 less, if the $10 goes to the labourers"; Apple should. Whether or not if that is a possibility for Apple is a different story altogether (one that I cannot comment about, I have no experience in Chinese Political system or in device manufacturing).

(4) I am from sort-of a third world country. Our evil is way different from your evil - labour exploitation and fierce competition practices that we see, are way worse. While you are focusing on First world problems (e.g. order of information when a place is searched on Google, which BTW is not affected directly - the changes were on Google Places) only these companies are fairly global in their user base and development sites. There is a rating of evil that hence we have to consider; some actions that they are involved in on some continents would be way worse than others that they do on the North American and European continents. Evil - Good is definitely not a binary object.
I love Softlayer. Excellent facilities, hardware, network and people. I just wish their RAM pricing wasn't so insane... $200/mo forever to add a $80 8GB stick.

If that were a win (having multiple sets of registers that you can "buffer flip" between) don't you think current CPUs would implement that with, say 8 or 16 banks of registers?

I really like that there are so many clients. Would really like some kind of cloud-sync + mobile client for SuperMemo. It also only works in Windows which means I have to run it under VirtualBox.

My only concern with Anki is whether it still uses some variant of the SM-2 algorithm and whether or not the people implementing the software are doing more than just polishing interfaces, etc. and actively work on improving the learning algorithm. Looking at the history, SuperMemo on SM-11 http://www.supermemo.com/english/algsm11.htm and Wozniak claims that there is a substantial evidence that this algorithm increases the speed of your learning.
thank you for your news
In my country YMD and DMY are used, and I don't see, which is more prevalent. And some people use "." some use "/" and some use "-" as separators. It doesn't seem to cause any problems. You just need to validate inputs (best - show example as the default value), and know which foramt you use.

But MDY is just ugly and should die. It's almost as strange, as German way of saying 123. One hundert, three, and twenty :) Who invented this.

EDIT: didn't wanted to insult Germans :)
Pretty much. For every project that makes it, thousands die off in the new section mostly unnoticed, let alone on the homepage. Probably have a better chance getting struck by lightning.

Speaking only for myself, learning things rote, via software-driven spaced repetition or otherwise, is deadly dull. On the other hand, finding new patterns, reading relevant books and deconstructing their arguments, holding discussions with other people passionate about a subject, trying to construct new ideas and relate them to past knowledge, etc. is exciting and invigorating. Living life as a human rather than a robot may be less than perfectly efficient relative to some platonic ideal, but really, so what? Similarly, I’d much rather go on a hike than run on a treadmill, I’d much rather cook and eat a delicious meal than compute the perfect mixture of nutrients and blend them into a shake–slurry, and I’d rather make one deep friend than fill a rolodex with business cards. My personal impression from having dabbled with spaced repetition software after a friend bugged me about it for months was that I personally learn better when learning things doesn’t feel like a visit to the dentist. Call it a character flaw. Again, YMMV.

My point about the multiplication tables and spelling lists though was that explicitly learning e.g. multiplication tables is pretty much unnecessary, because multiplying small numbers comes up again and again in doing more exciting and challenging problems, and by the 20th time you’ve had to multiply 6*8 through some explicit manual method, you’ll just start to remember that oh yeah, that’s 48 again.

The power of strong metaphors strikes again.
Plus the metaphor pretty much holds up. That is rare in this kind of post.
The idea is really nice! Maybe i would work a bit on the design, also maybe try not to focus on the same genres.
This is something that is bugging me a lot with all these website like your, consle.fm etc... i really like theme but they focus on music kinds i am not interested in. I mean on your top bar there are at least 6 musics for "disco" and 1 pop/rock... this demotivates me because maybe i would love to see a "classical music" and "metal" etc... i think that if you expand your music horizonts you might expand your target audience and really stand out of the crawd of similar websites.
The word "safe space" implies padding, and perhaps netting. In reality a gay bar is just a type of safe space. You could call chess club a nerd space-space. It is a clumsy term though.

It's about power inequality. To some extent, knowledge is power. Even more so when you already have leverage (the police for instance, uses its monopoly on civil violence to act on information about criminals —catch them). If you want a just and fair society, you probably don't want too much differences of power. So, you'd redistribute power in a way similar to the way taxes (are supposed to) redistribute wealth.

Information can be used to redistribute power: give some to the powerless, and deny some to the powerful. Open Big-Corps and governments, and keep the private citizens' privacy.

"this issue which you raised"!? What the hell are you on? eropple was the one that raised bandwidth stealing, not me.

Or to recapitulate you'd nab a shoplifter but only if they'd not done something worse as well?

The legal system already does this - if someone sets fire to the shop but takes a Snickers on the way out, no-one really cares about the shoplifting. The legal system doesn't prosecute it, and the media doesn't report "the arsonist and shoplifter was in court today". People reading glossy magazines don't gossip "oo, that arsonist - did you know he also took a candy bar? the nerve!".

Anyway, absolutely nowhere have I said that hotlinking is okay. If that's what you think I've said, then you have grossly misunderstood me.
US bars friends over Twitter joke
What i never understood over the years was, why Ritalin was given to kids with ADD and ADHD.All though those two disorders are related,they do not have the same effect on a person.

People with ADD tend to be tooo calm and appear to be slow ,on the other hand those with ADHD (including me) tend to be too Hyper , our minds are at full speed all the time which affects concerntrating on things we do not enjoy.I found out that Ritalin works well for me by relaxing the pace of my thoughts ,which in turn allows me to focus on a BORING thing like a volumous book.

So now how can you give a person with ADD (Slow thoughts) a drug that will make them more slow and expect results.

My conclusion is that Ritalin works better for people who have ADHD then those with ADD,and the reason why results on the improvement that Ritalin has ,have varied time and again is because a drug that work for one group (ADHD) was also given to those (ADD) it does not work for.In such a situation results will never be consistant.

How many people googled Jamey Rodemeyer?

It seems boyd's article revolves around our relationship with media. We look back a century and the political papers and non-stop sensationalism seems quite familiar. Humanity hasn't changed, online or offline, we still rubberneck.

So boyd wants refuges built to replace the ones that once existed. I'm wish her well. However over time, we see safe havens come and go. Why is that?

Maybe it's the same reason. Those safe havens either collapse or are destroyed because our society is as shitty as ever was.
Converting A VMware Image To A Physical Machine
Patrick Henry Winston's "How to Speak" has been so helpful, I often briefly skim it right before I give a talk: (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=9F536001A3C605FC)

I come into talks letting go of part of my ego, and come to see it just as my job to offer them something (intellectually) interesting. So upon sensing something's not working out, I might ask the audience a question to calibrate myself, quickly jettison it, or otherwise adjust.

(But not dropping all my ego. For some absurd reason, it helps to think of myself as enormously knowledgeable, and they're benefitting from this yapping... Sort of the opposite of the useful "I don't know a goddamn thing!" I prefer to feel when developing the talk in the first place. If someone in the audience happens to know what I know, like a previous speaker who touched upon what I'm saying, I often find myself including them in the talk somehow. If a significant fraction of the audience may know what I'm saying, I invite them to leave and take a pleasant break, so as not to be bored.)

Also, when thinking of part of my talk beforehand, I say the words out loud, which improves the fluency, and lets me hear more as an audience might. I did this recently on my way to work; saying and adjusting those words made them come out more fluently, because those parts of my cognitive system were already practiced.

This is actually a valid point, most modern encryption schemes rely on the fact that the RAM can't be dumped easily.

I guess you could keep at least some volatile memory for storing sensitive information such as encryption keys. Of course unless the rest of the MRAM is encrypted you may indeed leak potentially sensitive data.

Maybe dedicated hardware could encrypt/decrypt the RAM contents on the fly when the CPU or the devices access it, but it sounds costly.
Much like the aphorism about all sufficiently complex programs effectively striving to re-implement Lisp, I think all sufficiently complex social sites are effectively striving to re-create usenet in its heyday.
I like to work alone as well, even though I'm a manager and I'm lucky if I can get 50% of my time head-down writing code. I just feel like I can process so many more ideas thinking about things internally instead of pausing to try to verbalize my thought process. This is not to dismiss the power of two or more minds focusing on the problem from different angles bouncing ideas back and forth. Maybe I just haven't found my pair programming soulmate yet, but I suspect I just prefer to work alone most of the time and get collaborative only at chosen points (design/code reviews, brainstorming, domain expert discussion, etc).
Ask HN: How to estimate the resource usage when signing up for cloud services?
While signing up, almost all the cloud hosting providers(Amazon, Rackspace, etc) ask you to provide the amount of resources your site will consume so that they will bill you accordingly.

But the problem is how to measure the site usage upfront? If you are already running a site and migrating it to cloud, you would have some metrics in hand. But for a startup, how to estimate these metrics? Guesstimate?

Is there any tools that can be used to profile the app usage locally and then convert the metrics to cloud?
