Given the selection mechanism, I'd be tempted to try a blind strategy. "I'm not going to look at my ball before I pick it, but if you split and I steal, I'll give you half the money."

It wouldn't be good against a pure money-maximiser, because his expected $value is higher for steal (1/2 versus (1+P(I'm honest))/4), but if he's risk-averse and trusting it might work out.

The fine for jaywalking in Massachusetts is one dollar. It's unheard of here to be stopped for crossing the street anywhere. When I first arrived in Boston, years ago, I was waiting for the light with a bunch of other pedestrians when a cop came along and said, "what are you waiting for? this is Boston" and crossed the street with the rest of us behind him.
Folders die immediately when you need one more way to classify your files. E.g. you have photos grouped by date, but want to add genre or group by people on the photo. The same with books - you can have them in one big list, because very often you can't really select the primary system for categorization, since one book may cover many different topics, so you may want to have tags for every major topic, and then also by year and by author. Plus some tag to mark books you've already read or planning to read.

You are confusing Free Software [1] with Gratis Software. Free Software usually does have a price, although not a price per license. Here's an official statement [2] from the GNU project:

Many people believe [...] that you should not charge money for distributing copies of software, or that you should charge as little as possible — just enough to cover the cost. This is a misunderstanding. Actually, we encourage people who redistribute free software to charge as much as they wish or can.

In other words, it is important to distinguish paid software from proprietary software, otherwise the situation and arguments become confusing, indeed.

The folder concept was already outdated when it was conceived. First, unlike the physical world, we don't have to have one place for things (e.g. a sock drawer). We can have separate ways to access the same thing. If you think about it, tags/labels are just folders, but so that you can place the same thing in multiple folders.

But more, the future is to have a fast expanse of metadata, most of it computer generated, and access content based on queries of that.
Are you going to buy Coffee? Read before you leave
Do you know that the flavour of the coffee differs with the roasting of the coffee beans? Yes, it is not just the origin of the coffee tree that differentiates one coffee from another. The level of roasting of the coffee beans also changes the flavour.

That strategy only works in that particular version of the game where it is possible to split the reward. You can't split jail terms 50-50.

That said, that was a great bit of TV. And Nick's double-take when Ibrahim said what he'd do with the money was gold. (In case you missed it, he said he'd respray his yacht.)
You can get it the other way round though. I don't have it to hand, but I found "Programming in Scala" to have such a low content-per-page ratio that it is hard to stay interested. From the contents page:

2. First Steps in Scala 69

3. Next Steps in Scala 82

4. Classes and Objects 104

100 pages and you're only onto classes and objects!

Dive into Python has it right, IMO - show you something, then explain it bit by bit.
Assuming he can be believed, and we might note that there's no benefit to lying about choosing to steal, you change the game so the other guy's payoffs are zero for stealing and 1/2 the money (as modified by the chance he's telling the truth about that). So it changes the incentive from wanting to defect, to either getting nothing or choosing to trust him and maybe get something.

Note also that he was going to steal at first, but changed his ball at the last second to cooperate. And the other guy lied about stealing, having chosen to split the whole time, never changing his ball.

On the Social Deficits of Current Mobile Device Design
About which year are you speaking exactly? 2005?
Really a very interesting interview, with some salient points regarding internet privacy.
Putting encrypted files into a "cloud" service seems more likely to lead to a situation where the file owner is placed in a windowless, soundproofed room somewhere and offered a choice between decrypting those files or being sodomized with a mop handle by an employee of a nameless government agency than if the file owner kept those files on their own devices rather than advertising their existence to the world at large.
Absolutely. for example, a big challenge for blind people is interacting with devices in the environment that report status via visual signals. For example, a blind coffee fiend I know can't tell what state his fancy espresso machine is in ("brewing", "out of beans") without sighted help to read the little display. He would happily wait a few minutes to get someone to tell him - it's quicker than waiting for his wife to come home.
Glad to see they've finally moved to silent updates. That's the feature that lost me years ago, and as nice to see it finally make it, I don't think I'm coming back from Chrome.

The problem with the "hey, before we're going to let you use Firefox, we need to download a new version for you. Wait a few minutes" screen is that it stops you dead from being able to do whatever you opened the browser to do. It's jarring enough to make you avoid Firefox for anything except the times when you absolutely need to test something on it.

That means you use it less often, which means that opening it always puts you through that annoying process. Every Single Time you use Firefox.

So over the years, they've trained me that "Firefox == Pain". It'll take them a long time to train me back.

But I applaud them for finally trying.

My theory is that the logic behind such claims is that you can effectively map all groups of folders' entries using tags derived from every file's original folder hierarchy, but representing all the possible groups of tagged files in a hierarchical folder system requires an incredibly fragile and complex system of symbolic links. Ignoring certain issues with converting folder names to tags (such as two identically-named folders nested in the same path and collisions between tag combinations whose paths are a different order of the same set of folder names), an ideal tagging system is as expressive as any hierarchical organization and it is capable of numerous additional ways to slice the data.

In practice, tagging systems seem to be limited by relatively immature interaction models relative to the far better explored nested structures. For example: for a given folder in the hierarchy there are often few enough children to allow easy recognition of a forgotten name whereas tags for non-empty subsets of a given set of files are hard to suggest meaningfully; nested folders demand more care beginning with the earliest placement of files but tagging makes wholly unsustainable conventions perfectly reasonable early on; sections of nested structures are easy to relocate to a new parent but changing the related set of tagged files to uniformly substitute comparable target labels for precisely those obsolete labels is difficult or impossible.

In short, there's a theoretical basis for replacing folders with tags, but the real-world adoption is severely hampered by grossly incomplete UIs for many needs previously met by nested folders.

Thank you.

I think this whole "give constant reward" is nothing new, and it's something that has been done in large corporations for ages, aka "Treat your employers as 8 year olds".

In my opinion, it just alienates the "self" with the "work". Thus, constant reward just gives the false assumption that your work is meaningful and part of your life.

There will be a time when you don't have no one giving rewards to you, and you will need to just keep ahead, doing something because YOU believe in it, not because someone gives you free candy.

At the same time, that's also why social networks and community sites have "karma", to engage people in interesting discussion, with the promise of karma (or, acceptance of the group).

> Avoid qualifying ID and class names with type selectors.
Unless necessary (for example with helper classes), do not use element names in conjunction with IDs or classes.

I've never heard a decent explanation for why, with this one. Unless you're intentionally creating a rule which is broad in scope, adding the element name helps document a rule, giving somebody who is unfamiliar with this CSS some context on how the rule is used. Other than saving a scant few bytes here and there, I can't see what the benefit is.

Fascinating story that rings true to my heart, but how did you manage to send out 200-300 applications and find the full ride? I remember applications costing money($30-50) in the early 1990s.

My biggest regret in life is not having had a good advisor in choosing which colleges to apply to. Upon applying to college, I was being given reasonable advice as an American high-schooler in California when in fact I was in a very similar situation to yours(ex Soviet, exchange student, and so on).

In the early 90s when I applied it cost money for college applications. I applied to Stanford, Harvard, UC Berkeley,UCLA and UCSB, because everyone else I knew was applying (I did not have access to Usenet just yet and there really were no other sources of information).

I got accepted at UCs and got confronted with the fact that college would cost a small fortune for an out of state student that UCs considered me(and I was already working part time as a programmer for UCSB).

There were some smaller colleges which were sending me spammy letters, which I ignored, but actually they were quite decent colleges in retrospect (Harvey Mudd for one).

To this day I wonder what would have happened if I had managed to get a reasonable scholarship to one of the lesser known colleges.
Not all tutorials are aimed for people that know nothing about programming. Many are intended for an audience that knows programming in a different language quite well but doesn't know a lot (or nothing) about the new language (in this case Lua).

For this kind of people it would be a waste of space to bring lots of "practical" examples, if this doesn't show a unique feature of the language, since people often know the algorithms quite well. If you want to learn about that you better get a tutorial/book about algorithms.

What they don't know is the topics that are specific to the programming language. IMHO it is right that many tutorials concentrate on this.
The Personal API
Not the only reason: http://blog.wolfire.com/2010/05/Linux-users-contribute-twice...

Linux users seem (or seemed in 2010) to have money to burn on games (and charity).
That exact line of reasoning is brought up during the discussion in this video of the end of another game:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6GhbT-zEfc&feature=relm...

That said, you're right about the fact that reputations matter. They just don't matter to everyone.
I believe that when you set out to learn something, the onus is on you to find the best ways to appropriate the knowledge. Do not expect knowledge to be imparted onto you, it's your role to reach out to it. A lot of the time it will be a painful and exhausting thing, but that's natural.

If you set out searching for easy learning, you'll only get frustrated and limit your options.
More like 2000.
You can always require Mechanical Turks to pass qualification tests before they work on your HITs. There are also pre-existing qualifications like language and location.

Of course, you need to pay well enough to get enough people to bother, but I imagine one could build a reasonably skilled workforce for many areas if your training material is good and you have an objective measure of the correct answer.

This image description application is both perfect and terrible for Mechanical Turk though - it's an ideal task for a human rather than a computer, but it's also impossible to score the result objectively, so you'll have to pay everyone, all the time, or introduce another level of scoring - "Is this an accurate description?" "Does this description read fluently in $LANGUAGE" etc.

The details of how Tumblr built its data firehose
He's only outwitting the Prisoner's Dilemma in the sense that he's shifted his main goal to get some money (instead of everything).

There are more certain strategies if that's your goal though: You can get the other part to join a mutual agreement: if one of you steals (while the other splits) you agree to share the money. If the other part doesn't agree, you say you'll steal and take all the money (if he splits).

The other part can only get money if he agrees with you, and every choice except for (steal, steal) is going to split the money between you two. Split is the only choice that makes sense.

It would be much more interesting if they changes the stakes a bit: Stealing money gives you more than the sum of splitting.

I know a guy in my office who does that and it makes me want to punch him in the face. ("Oh - you're on HN! Good, then it's not a problem if I interrupt you right now.")
