I thought one incredibly cool addition to the article is that his son dresses up as Robin sometimes and joins him on these adventures. That's a son that's proud of his dad, and even supportive of his father's cause. That. Is awesome.

Unity does have an experimental plugin for Linux systems, running on NaCl. It's fairly functional, provided your graphics drivers play nice. I definitely wouldn't recommend it for Facebook games, but for teenaged kids it may well suffice.
Enjoyed the read; hats off to you guys for digging in and finding/resolving and pushing the bugfix upstream.

I do have to wonder: did this bug all of a sudden spring up on you? Seems like the potential would have always been there on this platform.
Could a change management process have lead you to find that "adding megaCLI monitoring to all KVM hosts" or "upgrading to megacli 8.01.06" was the cause of the problem? Just curious if you perceive a better CM or system inventory could have allowed you to deduce the problem area with a bit more efficiency?

"At the heart of the desire engine is a variable schedule of rewards: a powerful hack that focuses attention, provides pleasure, and infatuates the mind."

In other words, a casino. We've known about these for ages. Now we're going to repackage the idea as a 'desire engine'?
Personally, no. This information came to me from head of netsec at lockheed in our meetings. It was conveyed in phone conversation on the netsec con calls.

I take it at face value, though.
well said. when i saw the link i was confused why this would be on kickstarter...just feels odd to have software development on KS, unless there is some extenuating circumstances..
This is something that would be personally valuable for me. He could just as easily build this and sell it on the App Store; I'd buy it too. Instead I'll donate so you can get it for free.

Who says OSS has to be all about altruism and self-sacrifice?

Btw.. http://railsinstaller.org/ was funded by EngineYard... I'm not sure I see the difference?
It's completely legal to advertise that you're looking for money, like donations or crowdsource funding. Kickstarter, crowdtilt, and others make it their business model. What's not legal is to specifically advertise that you're looking for investors.

I've been in the Bay Area for about two years now working on my start-up and/or a job. If anybody has any money to contribute or a job offer, please don't hesitate to email/call me. Seriously.

Your beef seems to be more with expensive fighter programs than expensive salvage efforts. I don't see how this really relates to the discussion.

Don't underestimate the power of icons. These are the rockets that put us on the moon, and a private citizen is planning on recovering them for posterity, using his own money. Hopefully future generations will be inspired to explore because of this wealthy man's efforts (or 'playtime', as you put it). This should be celebrated.
Same here. Reflex meme[tab], and then "What? No guy in elevator story?"
I would start by looking at job description in hot "big data" startup to see what skills and technology they list. That should get you started and avoid learning the wrong stuff.

Sorry for my lack of a complete argument. I didn't think the Bill of Rights needed to be cited. Here you go: http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/rights1.asp#2
it's total bullshit on Comcast' part. If you remember, the argument was that the top 5% were causing issues for the remaining 95%, and the issues were stated, at the time, to be with the 'last mile' pipe. Just another example of a monopoly being a monopoly.
These are the base elements:

* Nodes/Vertices: Person, Topic, Entry
* Relationships/Edges: Tagged, Authored

person -- authored --> entry
entry -- tagged --> topic

Here's the base model: https://github.com/espeed/lightbulb/blob/master/lightbulb/mo...

The comment system is a separate, generic component.

Marko, the guy who created Gremlin (https://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin/wiki), just released a Gremlin Tree step (https://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin/wiki/Tree-Pattern), which makes it really easy to build a threaded comment tree in one quick shot.

If you have a large blog or content system, you can use likes and views to make content recommendations using a basic Gremlin collaborative filtering query:

// calculate basic collaborative filtering for vertex with user_id
def rank_items(user_id) {
m = [:]
g.v(user_id).out('likes').in('likes').out('likes').groupCount(m)
m.sort{a,b -> a.value <=> b.value}
return m.values()
}

If you use Facebook, Twitter, or GitHub to authenticate users you can easily incorporate friends and followers into the recommendations.

Building something simalaar to this was the only good idea I'd been harboring forna while now, but it will be interesting to see the feedback. I couldn't figure out how flexible to make it or what features to support, or if it should accept a file-based data structure for those not wanting to program an api. I guess I don't really know the audience.

Ask HN: How good is the Bootstrapping Design book?
I saw a posting on the Bootstrapping Design book(http://www.bootstrappingdesign.com/) few weeks on ago on HN and subscribed to their mail list. Now that the book is ready and its beta version is available for purchase for $39, I would like to know if it is worth the money. Also if you can recommend other books on design that is worth looking into. I am not interested in mastering design per se, but at-least develop a minimal level of understanding to help me interact with designers.
At first glance weird story for HN.

But figuring out interesting ways to give back should be in the future of every successful entrepreneur, and never to early to get started.
Downloading and archiving every conversation online is expensive and I'm not sure enough users would be willing to pay to have a centralized message reply service.

I guess that in Silicon Valley where the money grows on trees, a business model is optional.
Life expectancy of a white male at 20 yrs was 62.1 in 1900 , 76.7 in 2004[1]. that's 14.5 years. And that's under somewhat harsher health conditions: more stress, bad diets, pollution and chemicals.

And don't forget what medicine for quality of life. for example the pill.

Other changes that happened in that time span: personal cars, affordable international travel, home air-conditioning, home cleaning automation, the microwave, pre cooked food,walmart prices.

The Best Patent Rejection You'll Ever See (Featuring Borat)
"Because I really really avoid the Terminal as much as possible"

I don't mean to sound condescending, but if you're interested in using Rails (or any similar web platform), you need to be comfortable with the command line. It's not hard to learn, and there's even a good Peepcode video called "Meet the Command Line" that serves as a gentle introduction.

If you're really adamant about staying away from the terminal, you should look elsewhere.
> If I found myself talking to someone who had used web2py, I'd be very interested in their critique, but sadly in every case so far, it's been second hand.

In two years of active mailing list participation, I've never seen any actual users complain about these problems. They are hypothetical concerns that simply do not arise in real world usage.
A big portion of the JOBS act is dedicated to changing this. Try putting something about money or funding into your Angel List status update and they'll tell you that you can't talk about seeking funding publicly, and that any message that sets off their trigger will be reviewed.
Just looking at my batch (s07) there are numerous inaccuracies. You might want a way to submit them or something.
There are a lot of errors in there. I only looked at the S09 batch and e.g. Gabriel Weinberg (DuckDuckGo founder) is listed as a WakeMate founder and some companies are listed as "live" whose domains are dead, plus there's a company I've never heard of (despite being in that batch - just checked again, and it seems they were a pivot from the batch a year earlier). It seems a wiki format would be useful.

That said, there are a lot of other places with this info available at this point:

1974: Arthur C. Clarke Predicts the Internet & PC
Got it. I see the wording is carefully crafted. ;)
The other fallacy of Malthusianism is that people (like other life forms) breed faster when there's surplus, and slower when there's not. Thus, as the population approaches the resource limit, it grows more slowly.

See, for example, Verhulst's mathematical description of population growth [0], written in response to Malthus. You can chart the data and see a very clear divergence from Malthus' expectations [1].

Piep: bringing the power of python to stream editing
Funny you say that. This data is already stored at Google, Facebook, Twitter et al. All I'm asking for is for it to be indexed and available to me to search. For the amount of time I spend searching for old content, I would even pay a small amount for this feature as it would save me time.
This right here is why you generally want to reconsider building products for the kinds of technical people that haunt message boards.
I would love to apply but sadly uni has eaten all my time up but good luck in your search.
That's odd, because through the media and Internet forums anywhere I can only see name pointing, not strong evidence.

If you ever have time, trace back all the "China hacking" reports, they all came from non-tech sources, just authoritive accusing. Blame China is obviously the most safe and easy assumption, because Chinese people rarely care or hear foreign voices anyway.

But do you happened to know that Chinese Internet was one of the largest malware & botnet victims in the world? If you subscribe full-disclosure you can see lots of mass security issues happening in China everyday.
Ask HN: Purchasing Email Lists
I have a client that is insisting on spending thousands of dollars on email lists to plug into our CRM system.

These email list businesses all seem like complete scams to me. When I bring up CAN-SPAM, both legally and with spam filters, he says that others get around that and he wants me to figure it out. He says that lots of his peers do it in a "legal and rational" way. We're already spending money on a CRM email system, so he wants to get the value out of that rather than use facebook ads or google adwords.

Does anybody have advice / stats / articles to help me talk him out of this? Or, if I'm completely wrong, does anybody have advice on this practice?

Unplug for merely a week? How very masochistically American. Let me teach you something about burnout, you poor, pathetically narrow-minded little man. I'd like to unplug for six months out of the year, at an absolute minimum. That's burnout, my friend.

Yeah that's true, I wonder if there is a way to run a search on all of the major chat platforms though only your messages. You must say some important things to want to get your history back :).
Flash is rapidly overtaken by HTML5 and JavaScript. Obviously, it's the moment to slap a royalty on it. Genius!
Define "cultural evolution," though.

As for a definition, I'm talking about the evolution of individual behaviors as transmitted through culture. If one somehow rendered the entire human race sterile, but we continued to propagate ourselves for the next 2000 years through cloning, you'd still have "cultural evolution."

I'd argue that UX design -- even if it didn't have that exact name -- has been a distinct discipline long before software.

Again, I don't disagree. That you bring this up indicates to me you've missed my point.

food service industries, the retail industry..., the casino gaming industry, the amusement park industry...

All of these predate most of the evolution of the human brain's structure and capabilities. It's somewhat true that there were "UX errors" before the stone age. I say "somewhat" because it's really hard to delineate these as entities without a certain degree of technology. When all you have are sticks, what is the error of the designer and what is the error of the user? Maybe the user's just "holding it wrong?"

It seems to me, that we're likely to assign blame to sentient and animate entities. And even if the stick wasn't "whittled correctly" according to Thag, maybe it's just fine to Ookla? It's just hard to talk about "UX errors" as quantifiable entities until we get standardized production and large sample sizes.

It's not a competition, just one more site to use as a reference. I make revisions whenever better information is available.

I'm reluctant to change a status to "dead" because alot of companies change domain name, pivot, etc. So I generally leave a site as "live" even if there's domain issues.

I also track New Me start-ups and 500Startups. I'm working on a better layout using a wiki/blogging platform for all three sites.

Use Data Science to Help The World (Data Without Borders)
Yup. If you're resentful, you are antagonistic towards your boss and your co-workers. You'll be ready to quit.

If you're burned out, you're probably hardest on yourself. It's been described as a 'crisis of self-efficacy'. I suspect that burned-out employees often don't have the self-esteem to quit, until it's absolutely necessary for health reasons or they get fired.

That said... going back to resentfulness... if someone believes they're being gypped by their employer, perhaps that punctures some of the illusions we all have about work. A lot of us knowledge workers strive more for praise and recognition than we do for salary, a fact that our bosses exploit. Maybe the kind of 'burnout' that Marissa Mayer describes, I would call 'waking up to reality'.
Bundler's "condescension" was a real error message, albeit a terse one. I expanded it 18 days ago. If you think it's still condescending, please suggest a better way of phrasing the error.

> web2py appears both bad and unpopular to me.

Regarding popularity, for some time now the web2py Google Group has had more postings than the Django group, and the web2py group membership has been growing at a much faster rate than Django. Overall, Django is still more widely used, but web2py is certainly popular and growing rapidly.

Regarding whether web2py is "bad", that's obviously your opinion, but it is notable that you did not provide any argument or evidence whatsoever to support it.
Carbon wheels
It's not just chatter, it's more about sharing. So I share something interesting on Twitter, then want to reference to it in a post on Google+ (don't laugh).

Or I stumble upon an interesting link about X, and want to use it as a blog post but forgot to save it. It's just convenience and time saving. My time is worth more to me than a few dollars or a bit of my personal data.
Are you seriously suggesting that health conditions are worse now than in 1900?
Get your first 10 JPanel()'s free!
I'm not the person above, but I have an analogy that might help understand the point he's trying to make. Suppose that you are a software developer that sits in a communal area along with other developers. One day, someone decides to hook up a siren to the continuous integration server to make a siren sound whenever someone breaks the build. Most people think it's funny, but I think the sound is annoying and don't like it. To solve this, what I do is make something that triggers off the siren going off, and turn off the house lights and have a disco ball spin round while the siren is going off.

I think the principle thing is that the trigger condition is the thing that you don't like that is the "wrong" thing in this situation, regardless of the fact that the end result is a quote that is harmless and might even spark good conversation. I think it is a matter of "the ends don't justify the means". The reality is that any kind of bot like this is going to be noise in the channel, even if they are "fun".

Why Earth 2050 is going to be an awesome place:

1) Hot: shoot a tiny amount of sulfur dioxide into the arctic atmosphere, planet cools. See also #3.

2) Crowded: current upward global health trends will halt population growth naturally, and more people isn't necessarily bad anyway. Malthus was wrong to just consider resource consumption and ignore the benefits people provide to society. When you only have 100 people, they all have to look for food full time. When you have 7 billion, you get to siphon some off as scientific researchers and medical professionals, who pay back to others far more than they eat. (Lowly gas station attendants likely pay back more value than the raw resource cost it takes to sustain them too, but let's start with the low hanging fruit...)

3) Fuel: Solar's price is halving exponentially.
3b) Water: We're not really running out of low salinity water; we couldn't drain any of the world's large lakes if we tried. It's just a purification or transport issue. Limitless energy solves both.

Most importantly: technology is going to be so cool!

How Good Writers Write: A Theory of Writing (1981)
I see it as a bunch of MBAs hearing of Facebook's user base, Zynga's Flash games, and Apple's app store revenue and being driven mad with jealousy and using the term "uncaptured revenue" to convince themselves that this course of action is right.

Of course that's silly and I'm revealing my biases here a little, but sometimes this degree of cynicism turns out to be right.
This is a great example of my complaints elsewhere in this thread, thanks for the link.

So listening to this show, there's an expert guest, a couple call-ins (including another expert guest) and even a caller who talked about how important the crowd sourcing is, who all more or less say the same thing I'm saying, trying to contribute to wikipedia is a pain because of the overzealous editor's arbitrary and capricious application of largely nonsenical rules -- the foundation representatives? Regurgitation of the guidelines and nonanswers. Then lots of lip service to the importance of crowd sourcing an encyclopedia without acknowledging that the crowd is turning into a very small gang and "let's make new contributors feel more welcome" without any particular ideas presented of how to do it.
