You are looking for work. While someone should take interest, maybe nobody will take you seriously or find it easy to hire you, because of your age (sorry, I've been there).If you do contract work, be careful to get the agreement in writing.

The key thing for the long term will be to aggressively seek cool internships every year you are in college and (unless you have a better specific idea) get a comp sci degree at some place which is known and has a culture and setting that suits you. That shouldn't be any real problem, if you want to do it.

If this is what you love, there's nothing wrong with doing it at any age. If the job thing doesn't turn up, just take on fun projects using new tools and produce SMALL publishable units. This gives you something to show and more experience with the whole circle of software life.

If you have a lot more time than money, you may be able to engineer your secret project to be able to start on a leaner budget. Don't be too discouraged if things don't work or you screw up.

You have a good start and you have access to advice which I wish I had. Take advantage of it. The beer, LSD and girls will wait. Good luck.

Yes, but an opportunistic blackhat will just go and attack one of the millions of sites which don't need GPUs to crack instead. It's a margins game, like anything else.

If you're being attacked by anyone other than opportunists, you have bigger problems than your hash function. As soon as someone attacks you specifically, you're in a "trust no-one" situation, and suddenly it's time for anonymous meetings in basement carparks and the like.
Heroku is really good. You will probably have more downtime than them unless you hire a whole team of operations and admins and pay a lot of money for hosting. It may also take a while to build out the deployment and development tools they have.
You're on the right track, but do be careful of burnout. Get a job out of (or just slightly related) to industry. Work in a local computer repair shop, or even an ice cream shop. In my experience it was hard to find programming gigs that would pay a 16-yr-old minimum wage hourly and be worthwhile. But a "traditional job" will certainly, and I cannot impress how useful those customer relations skills were for me.

I've always thought that live tweeting during conferences was incredibly lame and obnoxious, both as a presenter and an attendee. Rarely do people add value with their live tweets. And when I do want to find something of value at a conference by looking at the tweets, I have to sort through all sorts of crap where people just repeat what the speaker said.

Pretty sure CDNs will be around. The value add of a cdn isn't their cheaper commit rates. The value is in location diversity and capital investment in infrastructure and ports in those locations. In new speak CDNs are "bit delivery as a service". The customer pays a premium over raw transit to have the cdn make those capital & management investments.

Even for Netflix or another DIY delivery case a CDN will continue to have value. A couple cases immediately come to mind: Lower first byte latency on first video blocks, then a hinted handoff to the openconnect device. Resiliency/recovery of network events, in a similar manner. "long tail" content that doesn't fit in the open onnect cache width.

A key point of these devices is IIRC they're only available to peered ISPs in one those NA IXs. Netflix is essentially converting 5-8gbs of CDN/transit expense in to $50,000 (WAG) of capital. That's what's really brilliant to me.
I don't disagree with the essentials of what you said, and in fact Krugman himself sits pretty near the peak of economics, but...

1. Krugman-cum-commentator occasionally contradicts Krugman-cum-economist. For example, [1]

2. Krugman falls into the same trap as most economic commentators, in assuming that one side of the Keynes/Hayek divide has been proven right (which side depends on the commentator in question), refusing to acknowledge the lack of predictive success that the entire spectrum of macroeconomics suffers from. The truth of the matter is that neither side should consider the debate won, since both haven't achieved the scientific holy grail: to be able to reliably predict what will happen, given the inputs. And since this is the case, they ought to be a little more humble in their assertions.

3. The role of economics is to help us understand choices. It cannot tell us what choices are correct, only how they compare. Making policy requires that we overlay some value system to weigh those choices. Yet Krugman (and others) continue to overlook this part of it, and simply assuming the values, acting as if policy follows directly.

4. It's false that the GOP has embraced the Austrian model. Both the GOP and DEM are corporatist, and love regulation -- just of somewhat different sorts. Despite their rhetoric, except at the fringes, the GOP does not actually follow Austrian, Chicago, or any free-market ideology.

alembic and sqlalchemy are not only on par with django's tools, they are generally superior. This isn't just my opinion, here's Alex Gaynor, Django core committer, saying the same thing:

https://speakerdeck.com/u/alex/p/why-i-hate-the-django-orm

Yet the developmental resources SQLAlchemy and Alembic are a tiny fraction of what Django has. It's the tremendous gravitational pull of Django and the habits of its community writing things hardcoded to Django that suck the life out of other projects in the Python community.

> ...the differences between consecutive iPhone versions, from 3G to 4S, are purely incremental improvements or aesthetic embellishments, not hardware breakthroughs. Sure, better cameras, higher resolution screens ...but no significant surprises or breakthroughs in hardware.

Personally, I consider the retina display to be the most exciting hardware enhancement since Wi-Fi, and certainly qualifies as a breakthrough in my book. It's not a slightly better resolution, it's a completely different screen.

What kind of breakthroughs is the author asking for? It's not like any other manufacturers appear to be providing them.
Been working on a turn-based role playing game framework (the Ikosa Framework) for 7 years. Originally because I got sick of all the rote pencil pushing or being a game-master and wanted an optimized database of game-play mechanics and data, but eventually because I just enjoy the challenge of converting 960+ pages of RPG rules into code to automate the entire game system (senses, languages, lighting, initiative-based turn tracking, etc).

I've been working in WPF, WCF, and throwing in PLINQ and TPL (all .NET desktop/server-stuff) mainly because that's where I come from, but also because I've always thought of what I've been doing as a proof-of-concept.

Hows this for nasty:

Part of Python [removed] core module on App Engine has a bug in it. Including this module will terminate your application with an exception.

Nobody notices it in development or testing, because the dev system was including the python distributions [removed] module, which is apparently different to the one on App Engine.

Site makes it through testing. push live and crunch, falls over.

Now we have a test app engine account, and have to deploy to that first, because we cant rely on the installation of Python on App Engine matching the installation of python on our dev machines, even though the versions are exactly the same

Heroku is a great platform and has come a really long way -- but it could really use some competition. Some of the main issues that would be resolved quickly with competition are:

- it would be possible to have the non-DB part of your heroku app be spread across multiple availability zones.

- worker pricing would be much lower or based on actual CPU cycles used.

- add-on providers would be vetted more thoroughly before getting a spot in the add-on store.

- they'd reopen the #heroku irc channel for informal support
things seem to be working for me, but Heroku seems a little off still. I got an error when I tried to view my app logs though, which is a little scary
It seems like they are quick and post a lot of updates on this status page each time when something's wrong. (I am not using Heroku but had the 'joy' of trying to run a site on Dreamhost for a while, so I have seen the worst.)
The reason is simple. HBO makes BILLIONS by servicing a few a cable companies, and that relationship is unlikely to change quickly as Americans are not cutting cable at the rate of your average Hacker News reader.

And thus we lost dozens of episodes of Doctor Who, and almost lost all of Monty Python (if Terry Jones hadn't stepped in), because someone thought the material was no longer relevant and archival not a chartered function (thought the economics of maintaining an archive are valid).
Well, there is an option to have error pages on your heroku domains, but that is probably dependent on at least a minimum level of the routing layer working.

I agree that more time will be spent on casual games but the big blockbuster, multiplayer, RPG games will still have their market.

the IE for xbox is just part of the movement on Xbox to turn it into the entertainment center of the living room. It's sayign that it's not only for gaming. The fact that Xbox is used more as an entertainment center than gaming is just sign of things to come. It's pretty obvious that the next xbox is going to be marketed as an entertainment center rather than a console.

There is ZERO SIMILARITY between having security research done on a product you sell to the public and having your website hacked by a "hacktivist" group.

Security research is usually a public service, usually done for free, virtually always done with full attribution (that's part of the point) and almost invariably legal.

Website hacks are virtually never a public service, are done anonymously, often involve financial gain for the participants, and are invariably criminal.

Barnaby Jack isn't part of a "hacker group". At the time this post was written, he was a researcher for Juniper Networks. Drawing a parallel between his ATM research and "Hacktivism" is shamefully stupid linkbaiting. Since that bogus comparison is the only thing this article contributes beyond the actual blog post it linkjacks (which is excellent, but appeared on the site and was discussed yesterday), I flagged this post.

HBO is the only reason I've ever signed up for cable. This is probably partly contractual and partly demographic. In a few more years it will probably start to make financial sense for HBO to offer its shows w/o requiring a cable subscription.

What I noticed recently is that Apple has been pushing the new iPad based almost purely on specs - i.e. Retina.

What do you know?! I should have checked that. I'm guessing (and it's pretty obvious thinking about it) eBay just reuse the link to the same images.

Yeah, should be any trouble at all to sort duplicates - I'll probably aim to try and drop out listings with the same title, price and image. If the price if different you'll obviously want to click on the cheaper one, title could be size etc.

Thank you, your help/ideas are really appreciated!

edit: by duplicates I mean auctions similar enough to be duplicate. Obviously each one is a unique auction.

Interesting Idea! I want to see the final product. It could be a great add-on to increase user experiences for my websites
"But when the software could be used closer to home, they target developers like they are one step away from terrorists. The hypocrisy is... challenging"

So you see this border interrogation as part of a systematic policy to intimidate developers entering the United States with expertise in cryptographic dev? Gotta be honest, that seems like a wild and illogical extrapolation to me based on this anecdotal story. So the end game of the United States government is what exactly, in this effort? To keep people with cryptographic talent outside of the US?

1) Why? I presume your point is that the government is attempting in a very, very, very round-about way to stifle free speech? Please inform me if this is not your point, I don't want to put words in your mouth.

2) What would that accomplish. We live in an era of instant communication and transportation of software. Developers can work on products from anywhere in the globe. If this man was denied entry to the United States, what is stopping him from simply working for his company from abroad? The answer: nothing.

It would serve pretty much zero purpose to run a campaign of intimidation against an incredibly small subset of the developer population... Programmers with cryptographic expertise who frequently travel in and outside of the United States... I don't get it. What about all of those with crypto experience who are already in the US and don't travel. Aren't they a threat? Are they being targeted? Where are their stories?

Doesn't the government, when they are looking to either break or make these same crypto software, draw from the same talent pool as private industry here in America? Why would they run that talent out of town?

If the US government wanted to suppress cryptographic research or otherwise circumvent it in an effort to subvert Free Speech, don't you think there are more precise and non-haphazard-and-idiotic ways of doing it?

This goes against the general sentiment of comments I've seen in this article, but I just have to say it. I think the idea is ridiculous and above all, completely inefficient for the goals everyone is ascribing to the border agents and the government here.

Logic doesn't really back this up. I can't imagine the point of this. I am not naive enough to think the government doesn't do some shady stuff, but I simply don't see the point and don't see this as an effective tool in whatever their war on developers is supposed to be.
They may but what is the guarantee they will watch? Take a look at the top rated shows, music and films. Most are garbage.
