Be a good developer and love working with data. Java is the most common language of the open source big data tools. If you're a statistician learn to code, and if you're a developer you should have a good data intuition.

You might work for a while with a consulting firm like Think Big Analytics to get some solid experience with the major tools.

At Quantcast, we process 10 petabytes a day but few people we hired had a big data background. We actually told the sourcers to stop using Hadoop as a search keyword because so many people add it to their resumes, whether or not they know how to work with data.
The Bloom Box: Fuel Cell Technology
If Yehuda Katz' market value is too high to build this kind of thing without sponsorship, then maybe someone else can build it gratis and he can save his time and energy for paying work.
You could do worse than beginning to learn Hadoop; but the Big Data world is more than just Hadoop. Some other technologies you might want to look into, depending on which aspect of this you are most interested in:

Statistics / Probability - the theory behind a lot of the analysis that goes on.

R - data analysis using R often goes hand in hand with the "big data" stuff.

Mahout - a machine learning library, built (mostly) on top of Hadoop.

Incanter - an 'R' like environment written in Clojure

Clojure itself, would not be a bad idea.

Learn about a couple of message passing / message queuing systems: 0MQ, HornetQ, Kafka, etc.

Streaming computation / real (or near) time map reduce: Storm, S4, etc.

On a semi-related note, log collection tools like Flume and Scribe.

A bit about RPC systems and data protocols like Thrift, Protocol Buffers, Etch, etc. wouldn't hurt.

Knowing about some distributed filesystems would be good.. HDFS, and maybe a touch of knowledge about some of the "old school" ones like PVFS.

On the subject of "old school" there is still a place for MPI and OpenMP for solving some types of problems on large clusters. Learning MPI is never a bad thing.

Learning about some modern nosql data stores like maybe HBase, Cassandra, MongoDB, etc. would be good.

Basic Linux sysadmin skills, of course.

Knowing about virtualization technologies: Xen, VirtualBox, KVM, whatever.

Automated deployment / configuration management / remote comand execution tools: Puppet, Chef, cfengine, Fabric, etc.
How is it a scam? You don't pay anything(except your time) to get into the contest and you can swap any old smartphone with a brand new phone even if you lose. Also, there have been lots of instances where they have lost.
Wow. Contrary to my expectations, this picked up some interest. A lot of people actually visited my demo.

As I don't want to kidnap this thread, which is about an awesome feat of hackery by dmitrygr, I submitted one about jslm32: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3769498

I'll check the jslm32-specific thread sporadically to answer any questions.
The problem here is the ego, you have to notice how Yehuda put an accent on how important his contributions to rails 3 were. I'm not arguing they're not, but as Plato put it, when you think you reached the absolute wisdom you couldnt be further from it

Thank you. It's funny, because the last thing I read specifically mentioned the example of Boeing and Airbus, except to say the US govt would never help Boeing like that. oops.

But your link is a little undersourced? And I'm really having a hard time with the part about Motorola. "The 1995 Motorola letter is proof positive that Bill Clinton is directly responsible for the present-day U.S. intelligence disaster." Giving Motorola an encryption export waiver (which is something crypto geeks had been fighting for for years) is proof that Clinton turned the NSA into a cash cow?

Really, I am interested in the topic, but your link is more of a hit piece than anything.

[The link noibl posted is exactly the interview I was thinking of wrt Boeing and Airbus.]
Nice feature. Next, please let me delete activity from my history, so Google forgets they saw it.

Interesting ways to give back should not really be a desideratum. Look for maximally efficient, effective ways of giving back.
J1KND - Batterie DELL J1KND
From the article:

> It predicts a world population of 9.2 billion people, generating a global GDP four times the size of today's

Global domestic product is currently $63T. 2050 GDP = 4 * $63 = $252T.

Current per capita GDP = $63 trillion divided by 6.8 billion = $9,264.70588

2050 per capita GDP = $252 trillion divided by 9.2 billion = $27,391.3043

So basically everyone will be 3 times richer, at a cost of "80% more energy" (less than 2 times the energy), which means energy efficiency will increase dramatically, probably due to the fact that we'll harness more solar and geo energy, which is delivered from the giant nuclear furnace in the sky, aka our sun.

That is laughable. I did compare the two before writing my post, and arguing that the one would not be mistaken for the other is preposterous. When I see the copied design I see nothing but papered over choices Dustin made. If you, and more importantly, the other people who have been defending this really believe that the design is unique, it totally explains why this started such a huge argument on HN, the two sides are not even arguing about the same thing.

1. No one cares if you take Dustin's concept that pre-published posts should be called "ideas" instead of posts and have lower overhead. He told us all about it, he gave it away. Open source it, it's a great idea, everyone should be able to host their own blog and have as little overhead as possible in nurturing ideas into posts.

2. It is wrong to take someone's design and just use it for yourself. It seem especially shitty to do this when someone has announced they are going to try and make money off of using that design as a brand. This obviously gets pretty grey pretty fast but there is a line and this copy crosses it. It's cool to use other people's work to guide your own, that's how we learn. But when you take something, you have to make it your own. Imagine if I took kottke's css and changed the bars on top from blue to red, it would not only be wrong but silly. Aping someone else's style is not how you want your blog to be remembered.
Okay, I accept that I could be entirely wrong. I had forgotten about the role of dividends in determining the value of a company, and that companies definitely do appreciate in real value on average. (I should also have clarified I was thinking only about a closed secondary market, as opposed to the primary market where funds flow into companies.)

What I'd like to understand is this: if the total real value of companies is expanding in the long term, then isn't the stock-trading/investment game about who manages to pick the fastest-growing stocks and capture the most price appreciation? The net gain in value would exist as long as people had invested in the first place, but its distribution is zero-sum in that the net gain in value is captured by someone or other. I guess this is what I was thinking of when I talked in earlier posts about "closing out" all trades - if all trades are closed out at one point in time, then all value in the market is captured by one player or another, and the result is zero-sum.

If the total gains in real company value are influenced by the trading game in the secondary market (e.g. total gains depend on the volume of trading in the secondary market, perhaps through new stock issues), then the question does seem a little more complicated.

Glad to have had this discussion. I guess I need to read up on economics more, although googling didn't turn up a lot of actual literature on stock markets and value-creation right away.

Thing is: if you look at the historic temp. record, seldom did temps ever make it to +7 from today's already high temps. Thus almost certainly something will provide feedback to negatively impact temps before that level is reached. Still we could lose all the arctic ice before then and live on a very different planet.

Oh, I see. So the problem isn't that Yehuda's asking for money, but that he had the temerity to state his qualifications.

Again, we gotta grow up. Yehuda's contributions to Rails 3 were important. What's wrong with taking credit for that? I'm often critical of the Rails community for an excess of ego, but this is not one of those cases.

It seems pretty clear that the idea of an open source developer asking for money seems vaguely filthy to a bunch of people. I think this is unhealthy and poisonous. It condemns open source to be the provence of academics, the unemployed, those able to snatch free time away from their friends and familier, or those working at the largess of their corporate employers. That's a shitty limit on the scope of free software.

You do post from Unity to Flash now and starting a game with Flash and making the Unity plugin a must download for the rest of the game is the sort of thing that Adobe wants to secure a profit in. Unity posts to Flash. Sure, why not. Unity is a great tool but Flash is better at end file size, user penetration and web site integration.
Nothing would happen.

I don't know from where this started.

But I am expected to make for somebody Else's lapses all the times. This is called in classic management language 'Team work'. And the managers don't pay you for doing 'Team work' , at best you are assumed to just doing your duty. So you are not supposed to get paid extra.

I know a lot of managers who consider people who ask rewards for extra/free/innovation/<whatever fancy word for making you slog extra for free> work as a evil people.

Yes. My son spent several months in a cancer ward. ... His best (and only, to my memory) visit from an "outsider" was an honest-to-goodness Santa Claus in the nicest Santa outfit I'd ever seen.

My son's Wish (from Make-A-Wish) was to visit Spider-man. He was very much into superheroes. Although we did get to see him on a "wish-trip" to Universal Studios, he was too small for the Spider-man 3-D ride by about four inches. We would have loved to have a hospital visit by superheroes ... but alas, I think the controlled entry nature of the cancer ward made it so many there at the hospital "just to visit" ended up in other areas.

It's not like government officials are devoid of greed either, by the way. Ever noticed that there are rarely any "poor" or even remotely middle-class person in politics to be seen ?

Private parties are subject to the law. They can be sued. They can be made to repair damage.

Governments ? They have no responsibilities whatsoever. Once their term is done, everything's forgotten and forgiven. Where is their social responsibility? Ever seen a president appear in court an unlawful attack on another country ?

No ? That's what I thought.

What I'm saying is, they have mathematical models that they follow to decide whether someone is counting. I suspect this guy was in fact using information about cards played to vary his future bets -- in effect counting, but he was doing it in a way that did not fit the house's models for what card counters normally do.

He clearly knew more than the people who were watching him, so the fact that all the 'experts' were paying attention doesn't mean he wasn't following a winning strategy.
Not only are you a hypocrite for earlier claiming that all such instances of the joke are inherently objectifying women;

> Remember that sexism is about the reinforcement of cultural stereotypes, rather than being just about gross bigotry or discrimination. What's sexist is that people assume, in a workplace, that jokes about what women say in bed are acceptable. Those jokes make me a little uncomfortable even in a casual environment; it's kind of gross that people are okay with them at work. The sexism isn't one person consciously thinking "Oh man let's women the butt of jokes about sex!", it's that women-as-sex-objects is such a pervasive trope that we don't notice it unless somebody like Jessamyn points it out to us.

What was it you said, again? Oh, right;

> "that's what she said" will always be a joke the brunt of which is the faceless fuck-object woman.

So if it's so heinous a joke, what is your meta-joke? Oh I thought about thinking about a faceless fuck-object woman? And you consider that harmless?

And you sure do feel free to address anyone that dissents with you as trivializing the issue or telling women to "lighten up." Once a woman has decided something referring to women is sexist we cannot say otherwise lest we be branded sexist ourselves? I agree that TWSS is a stupid joke and I wouldn't want to see it at work and Jessamyn was all of more mature, rationally trying to solve her complaint, and clever. But I will never agree that it is inherently sexist.

You imagining the joke in the way you want to and then claiming that everyone else feels the same. But then when you feel free to re-use it in a slightly different manner you are unequivocally being a hypocrite.

I'm disappointed that after starting from scratch they created a "modern" language that requires a module import just to print (and corresponding extra syntax for that namespace when making the call).

How could this not have seemed incredibly clunky after using it for just a little while? It's the same frustration one feels when simple print-outs fail in C++ because you forgot to "#include <iostream>". Sometimes you just want to print stuff no matter what file you're in. Languages should make it almost impossible to fail at extremely common tasks. It's these little things that make Python and Perl enjoyable to program in, and these little things that every new language should begin with!

There's some negative feedback associated with that strategy.

One of the major reasons people voraciously deny (manmade) global warming is because they see so much irrationality coming from certain people trying to convince them of the problem. It comes across as dishonest and desperate, which is not really a good way to convince people.

What we really need is calm, clear science being described by actual scientists (rather than politically controversial figures). We need clear delineation of risks and costs associated with mitigation strategies, not mass panic.
Apparently there is a generics prototype in the works, it was too much of a big change for Go1. It will probably be in Go2.
First of all, my experience in this matter occured in 2007.

Second, if you do not think that MASSIVE governmental cyberspying is taking place between pretty much everyone, then you are fooling yourself.

We have already seen the most amazing display of US/Israel cyber capability with Stuxnet.

THey have been even actively ASSASSINATING nuclear engineers in Iran for fucks sake!

Just because I have been aware of China's attacks on Lockheed since 2007, and likely the first time this type of thought entered your head in ~2012 doesn't make this some propaganda campaign.

OF COURSE china is under attack from the US, Israel, France, the UK.

I am not sure if you are aware of it - but a resource war is looming in the not too distant future.

While China has secured MASSIVE natural resources and made themselves the center of all consumer/industrial manufacturing (aside from heavy industry in Germany) - the US/Israel faction has spent trillions on advanced weaponry and securing fuel resources.

So that war that is coming will be a war of attrition: US/Israel with secured fuel for N years, China with massive natural and human resources.

Right now the chess game of getting everything in place is what is underway.

I took the comment about bosses not taking home a paycheck to be referring to a startup scenario where funding is tight and so the founders don't take home a salary while the first few employees do.

In that situation it's not at all uncommon to trade some wage for equity, but there are not many cases that I've heard of, outside of the founders themselves, that are so extreme that people literally take home only equity.

If the discussion is talking about big well established companies, then the situation is very different. I can't imagine many managers not taking home a salary and definitely agree that inequity is generally a big problem as is the expectation of common place unpaid overtime.
They are making their properties require scripting, they threatened that javascript "would be replaced" with something that can support massive codebases (dart), and they have new protocols that use a persistent connection that can't really have a proxy between you and Google (Spdy).

I'm sure some of these came about organically, but they all contribute to moving from a publishing model (web 'pages') to an application model. Basically Google is making the web into an application, but like modern DRM in games, you have to be 'online' signed into google all the time to use it.

Make it personal 1:1 with google by killing proxies (require TLS like in Spdy), kill pages by requiring scripting. Result is a Ubisoft for the web. This is I think pretty clearly the destination that Google is pushing towards.
