Keep your eyes fixed on the guages, son
and never mind them shakes
Let it all hang out, 'cause we got a run to make!
Folks are hungry on the station and our hold is full of rations
And we'll get 'em up, no matter what it takes!

That crusty old cartel
And they won't stop 'till we bid them farewell
So you got to build 'em, you got to try 'em
You got to keep those rockets flyin'
Just set that throttle wide and give it hell!

9 SSH Do’s and Don’ts
A Citroen 2CV is pretty much tinfoil with an engine attached. It's definitely feasible even with hand tools.

With respect to survival, if you head into a desert, you take supplies galore. The 12 days was probably due to the heat so you can only work at dusk/dawn and seek shelter during the day to conserve water/rations. 2CV is very simple and can carry a lot of stuff. It's nearly ideal.

I take a 72 hour pack and am happy doing 50mi+ on foot if i go more than 10mi from home after a couple of experiences being stranded in rural areas in the UK. Imagine what that guy was carrying in the desert!
That is an excellent example of "scary crypto stuff".

Most people aren't going to change where the file is saved, or care. They don't know, or care what a fingerprint is. I still have no idea what the 'randomart' images are about.

I don't see any benefit to all of that over having a button marked "make keys" which just gets me set up so I can use github.

Of course, you could force people to care about what files are placed where, and their permissions. Then you should probably remove the default values of course.

There is a huge psychological bias for this argument. I believe it is 'sunk cost bias' or something like that.

It goes like this. Say you are a miner. You mine. At the moment you get your bitcoins, you've realized value in the sum of ( $Bgenerated - $Bcost (your hardware, etc)).

From that point on 'hoarding' is no different than going to an exchange and buying $Bgenerated in bitcoins with dollars.

So your argument for 'hoarders' having a tremendous unfair advantage is seriously flawed. They have no greater advantage than any speculator going and making a bet in bitcoin long term value.

The real value generated is the one they capture at mine time, and there is a super efficient market for that with very slim profits.

Something tells me this was planned.
Yes.

The cost of the exotic silicon and post silicon alternatives are dramatically higher than todays costs, which are dramatically higher than yesterdays. Couple that with the fact that the majority of people have far more computing power than is necessary for their day-to-day existence (e.g. emailing, posting on FB and looking at cat pictures and/or pornography.) So costs continue to increase by some super-linear function but benefits follow a sigmoid curve.

The disconnect between marginal cost and marginal demand for computational power is what's going to knock Moore's Law off it's curve IMO, not some hard technical barrier. The futurists are always spending someone else's imaginary money, so they don't have to worry about stuff like that.
When was the last time you use Spring? How about Spring MVC for front-end/controller and or JAX-RS for web API.

I find Java to be much more modular and adaptable to different web paradigm: old school MVC, one page JS style (GWT or pure JS), asynchronous (Netty or Servlet 3.0), scalable web api that can spit both xml and json without extra coding (JAX-RS), component oriented (JSF).

The integration between business logic and let say if you somehow need to use message queue are quite good via EJB 3.1 (very minimum coding) and JMS.

Java took a beating a few years ago, fast forward to 2012, they have improved quite significantly. In the next two years, multi tenant architecture will be available in JavaEE 7 out of the box.

Many people who keep complaining about Java typically are those who have wayy past experience.
Agreed. The transition from 1.2 to 1.3 (due to libraries, contrib shattering, and language changes) was probably a man-month of effort for us. However, it appears that 1.3 to 1.4 is probably a couple hrs work in fixing a few minor things.
Thanks for the correction, however I do stand by the original point. Google don't need Motorola as a premium handset producer, and they did try getting into the selling-phones business but it flopped quickly.
USD/BTC is not the only gamble. BTC Generation system-wide is predictable, but you can't predict the size of the mining industry. So your 1GH/day contribution will be worth a smaller and smaller cut as more people like you are mining. These mining rigs are in competition with one another.

I think killing Hollywood (breaking the stranglehold on distribution) is a long term goal. It will be a lot of smaller innovations that will enable it.

I agree with you about background ads. They are on the Hype Machine also and it works brilliantly. It is tougher to put into numbers because I am less likely to click on it, but I take notice of the brand and the creativity/style. It is tough for big brands to put themselves into places like Facebook ads because they are so restricted creatively.

I also think YouTube is onto something with the skippable ads. If the ad is interesting enough to catch your attention in the first 5 seconds, you watch it. Not very intrusive and an opportunity for me to watch a movie trailer and forces brands to do something super creative.

The comparison of Facebook ads (web ads in general) to newspapers competing for small local businesses is right on.

Within limits, the more talent you have, the less niceness you can get away with.

This misreads the situation a little, I think. The more talented you are, the more likely you are to recognize the value of “niceness” (in its current meaning (“kind”) and its older meaning (“careful and particular”)). That's why someone whose code is well-commented and carefully designed has shown more talent than the arrogant trickster whose 2k-line functions full of 1-letter variable names “comment themselves”.

I had a couple of breakages, because step 2 tells you to remove SSH keys if they are already present (without saying "Wait! Why do you have SSH keys? Maybe you should ask why they are there"), which broke various tools that expected the old keys to be there.

So in all the rules, the one place that isn't just "press OK, press OK, press OK", tells you to do something probably dangerous, depending on your setup.
Just yesterday I was searching for an app or something to interface with my BB issues as I found the issue tracker interface extremely clumsy (Update issue status -> save -> reload issue list -> click next issue).

Just ignore the internet warriors below. :). Smile, nod and continue being productive. The GUI saves you time and reduces the learning curve for new developers. If you feel like using the command prompt, you still can.

For my team, which consists of designers and developers, this will make the learning curve of my designers a lot easier.

Saying that because you don't know how to use SSH keys on a windows machine means you can't write secure code is just silly. It is a slippery slope to say that. If the majority of senior guys actually believed it then we wouldn't have a use for higher level languages (ruby, php, etc), frameworks like .net, etc.
And the last time you use Java was....5 years ago?

Better keep up with the latest frameworks and libraries.

I know Rails and Django and I used cherrypy, cheetah, and sqlalchemy as well, and Java is on par with both modern frameworks if you know to choose the right frameworks.

In fact, I do not have to deploy multiple processes one for Rails and one for sinatra or node.js. Just some app server or web container and I am ready to go.

I wish google would let me crawl blogger pages for my index. I don't think that is fair that google can index the web, but has created a walled garden for the content they host.

I watched the entire interview last night and you are absolutely incorrect. Google absolutely wants to index all of Facebook's data, and used the repricosity idea as an example to frame it as a philosophical debate between openness and walled gardens.

Larry Page said repeatedly the future of search, the next step, is learning about you. You personally and how when you search for "Ted Smith" the results show the results relevant to the Ted Smith you are connected to.

There would be huge benefits to having all Facebook data searchable by Google, but the issue is privacy and whether people should have the choice to keep this information separate. The debate is both for a business one for the companies involved and a philosophical one.
> Deck Network, it's just another advertising network

Doesn't seem so to me. I always run Adblock, but after looking around a bit at some DECK-served sites (there's a list on http://decknetwork.net/), I might whitelist their ads. They seem unobtrusive and mindfully-designed.

You seem to be saying that advertising networks could never work, but don't back that up with data (which, ironically, is what you're asking unalone for).

Ask HN: How much should you care about your work?
I used the term 'work' loosely here, but I guess it applies more to full time workers and startup founders - where money usually isn't the most important factor in job satisfaction.

From the professional level, I really believe one should care enough about the work - it's a big and important part of your life, if you don't always think about how to do things better then what's the point?

On the other hand, caring too much is dangerous - feelings will get hurt and you'll become frustrated quickly and frequently. Sometimes, you might simply not have enough energy to fight against questionable (or even unethical) decisions.

So, dear HNers, what's your take on how to balance how much you should care about your work?

if you want to get some entertainment you should probably grab a bag of popcorn and watch the discussions on mplayer or another commit list. peoples commits with get ripped apart and spit on. and what's the result? a project that has it's code running on tens/hundreds of million devices without a proper release structure.

now for real life examples, i only distinctly remember, but if i remember correctly a lot of the so called innovators in the 19th-20th weren't really the biggest friends. they still insulted one another, they just had other words. we all know tesla and edison weren't the best friends(although edison wasn't really an innovator, but anyway)

oh and how about economics where theres a bunch of different groups constantly at fight with each other. but no real solution coming out because the predominant neoliberalism party suppresses the others? <-- see these guys have a real problem precisely because there is not enough people that just say what they want and still get heard, because what they say is right. although the internet again changes the dynamics a little bit.

> However there is nothing preventing Google from allowing facebook to access Google's data

Actually, Google engineers are actively making it possible for users to liberate their data:

http://www.dataliberation.org/

> Google wants there to be no competitive advantage

I believe Google wants users to have the best possible experience, and possession of a user's data should not be "nine-tenths of the law."

> Facebook is significantly larger than Google+, meaning that sharing data will always be in Google's favour.

It may be larger than Google+, but FB's Market Capitalization is $69.5B, while Google is $199.1B. I think this invalidates your argument on this point completely.
You really got to read it in French to get it. The "kick stand" really is the tank filling tube, repurposed.
Yes of course, creating a backdoor or sabotage via revision control is a really good attack vector (like really). Recently several large open source projects had shady forged commits, so it's safe that say that anything private is also being targeted.
I'm not spreading fear, since i consider HN a place where people are educated enough understand the problems in it security.

Yes, once someone has hardware access, its devilishly hard to secure an environment, but just stating that its impossible is as wrong as security systems that ask their users too many questions to which they most likely have no good answer/no doubtfree answer.

There are systems which work pretty securely, i have worked with several educated security experts to create security infrastructures in companies.

I'm not saying that i don't understand the problems or don't want to learn solutions to them, i'm trying to defend the position of the user that can't be asked to learn about all the caveats of it security, since it is one of the most complex problems in computer science.

No, not every front-end developer that has to check-in his html und js files can be asked to understand all principles of it security.
I often just rip the html from a Wordpress theme and use it for a rails site. Its a tiny bit of extra work, but totally worth it.
