> While I'm on the side of TheOatMeal on this one, I wouldn't be so quick to defend someone signing up as @Charles_Carreon on Twitter. That person impersonated the lawyer during a very sensitive time and negatively changed public view, even if later Twitter suspended the account. It's not parody, it's impersonation.

And the person that created the account was from Sweden.

Carreon is going to have a fun time getting him into court in the US for a civil case.

Haskell's type system is Turing-complete

So? What does that buy you in the face of attempting to prove that your system can run with two simultaneous users? How does the type system prove that it can withstand a DoS attack? Likewise, how can it prove that your system properly handles the case where the user types some garbage into a textbox? How does it help prove that your system keeps running if someone pulls the network cable out of the wall? How does it help prove that you wrote the system that your client wanted?
Wow, that must have been awesome. Thanks for sharing!

I think you are mistaking the dramatic flourishes of the essay for its true message. It's a well-written piece that has a twist ending (not entirely unexpected).

She's saying that addiction to people is not the same as addiction to cigarettes. This is a good kind of addiction because human beings are by nature social creatures and should interact with one another.
I live in Perth where this guy is from, and Wesley is one of the most expensive and most highly regarded schools around. Given the sentiment of the headmaster, I'm not surprised it's doing so well... Seeing beyond "get my school's average up" and seeing genuine talent and potential, then fostering it - that's the sort of school I'd send my one-day kids to.

Sure, it will be voluntary at first, and then eventually become the only way to board a plane/train/boat. At that point, someone will suppose that if our scans are good enough for the government to identify us for something so crucial, why can't we also use it for ID/driver's license/form of secure payment/house key/etc? After this has been established, yes, biometric identity theft will be an issue. We'll see a similar situation just like a US SSN - no one needs it but the IRS to collect taxes, yet everyone asks for it because it is the government's only way to uniquely identify a singular person.

Basically you will need to show that you are a celebrity (in the widest sense of the word) in your own country or internationally.

They basically look at three things.

1. Significance
You will need to get other (4-6) people in your industry to write a letter about you.

2. Fame
You will need to show awards, books you were in, exibitions you did, magazine and articles about you and so on.

3. Critical Role
You will need to get 4-6 clients to write about your critical role in helping their company go where they are.

Pretty laborious, but the good thing is that you are not bound by some quota.
I like the idea of tiles but as they get more numerous and varied (with photos and custom apps) it starts to look like the classified ads. I don't know where to look and feel disoriented.

While there are larger and smaller infinite sets the two sets you give are the same size. They are both countably infinite. A way to see this is that for every element in the set of even positive integers there is a corresponding positive integer and vice versa.

All math is abstraction, and you need to make sure it applies to the current case. In this case it doesn't: infinite resources don't exist.

But all that would do would be cause an international incident and expose those who carry it out to threat of prosecution of not granted diplomatic immunity.

The question is whether US law prevents it. THere are some cases to suggest that the bill of rights still governs to at least some extent when a US citizen is acted against by the US government in a foreign county.
Monitoring systems that have to execute thousands of active checks every polling interval consume a bit of CPU. I've certainly seen high CPU usage and run queue depth on a busy Nagios server.
Re: Visas for non-degree holders

I'd love to connect with people like lachyg or others who are related to the struggle of finding ways to pursue their dreams in the US without having a college degree.

Im currently enrolled an in US institution and working on CPT, but there is nothing I'd love to do more than quit school in the fall to work full-time, however as the article notes, any ordinary visa does not apply to non-degree holders. After consultation with our lawyers, a marriage or mentioned O1 visa are the only option.

I know several people in a similar situation who went through the O1 route, however they all say its a ridiculously hard process and requires extensive documentation of the "national and international acclaim". Admittance to YC/TS helps a lot (which we are trying right now)

An incredibly flawed and ridiculous argument.

Flaw 1: You imply that no illegal immigrants are talented, or contribute to U.S. society.

Flaw 2: Your argument presupposes that providing legal status, financial aid and work permits to illegal immigrants will prevent talented people from wanting to work in the U.S.

Flaw 3: Providing work permits, financial aid and legal status to illegal immigrants is done for many reasons, and your argument presupposes that it's a bad thing. You need to demonstrate that this is the case before your argument can have any weight.
I'm not the one who's confused. Moderators don't set the policy for what's on topic at Stack Exchange sites, the communities who use those sites do. The place to argue what is and isn't on topic isn't on that guy's blog, and it isn't here.
"I could have articles written about me but I choose to remain relatively quiet about my "success", millions of people use the things that I produce."

I'm a bit older so let me give you some advice based on my experience and observation. Use your age and accomplishments to your advantage. If you can get something written about yourself and publicity do it. Don't be bashful. No reason not to toot your own horn. Doesn't matter what jealous people might think. In the end the publicity will help you more than any negative effects or what you think someone thinks (because maybe that is what you think when you read about someone).
I can see "liking their aesthetic"

But I think that's because "like" and "aesthetic" wasn't quite the words the gp was aiming for.

It's more like their User Interface Paradigm just doesn't work.

A cool sports car with no door handles or keyhole, that the cool kids open with right twist of the wrist or something can have a really nice aesthetic but be really annoying in the real world. Multiply that by a thousand and you've got something where the right mindset will get you love while the rest of us will hate and hate. Especially, menus in invisible places. That's a terrible designers are often tempted towards but should know better. If I ever have to use that stuff, some karma bolts be stinging the aestheticians who dreamed them up.

I have news. The average person is less, less - not more - less patient with "getting used to the conventions" than developers. The average person may wind-up using "conventions" but probably couldn't "describe conventions" more easily than they could solve differential equations.

If how you use the thing isn't screamingly obvious, how do you expect Joe Average to shell out the big bucks for something they still expect to be "mostly just a phone".

"[Julius] Caesar served in 63 BC as a quaestor in Spain, where in Cadiz he is said to have broken down and wept in front of a statue of Alexander the Great, realizing that where Alexander had conquered most of the known world at thirty, Caesar at that age was merely seen as a dandy who had squandered his wife's fortunes as well as his own."

Sure it is. If we have an economy of ten people, it is inherently bad for one person to control 100% of the wealth while 9 people starve to death. That is, in fact, inherently bad.

To put it another way, we know that the marginal utility of wealth decreases as wealth increases. Therefore under the standard principle of greatest good for the greatest number, social good is maximized when wealth is evenly distributed.
I think I may be due to supply and demand.

PM's tend to be local, which isolates them from outsourcing salary pressure (decreases supply). Programmers can be outsourced which exposes them to more salary pressure (increases supply).
yup, you're right, you got to use functors or go home.

Yeup, some folks did show the functors + modules \equiv type classes in some sense, for system F or a variant thereof. Theres also an oleg approach too I think.

The Louisiana Purchase is another example. Quite a number of states were bought in that deal.

Washington DC isn't a state because it was decided that it would work best to have the national capital in a special non-state enclave, so as not to make any one state more important than the others.
There seem to be quite a few knobs to tweak, and I'd be interested in seeing how such a service would work in iOS/OSX while minimizing user involvement. I suspect there would be certain tendency to still make oneself somewhat trackable if the user were to be given the possibility to tweak the Clone's parameters—much in the way that tweaking one's User Agent is quite likely going to severely lower privacy in terms of uniqueness.

On a tangential note, I'm always glad to see entities try and solve problems (here: user tracking, surveillance, and privacy violations) with strong technological solutions rather than conventions and policy. It's not that, say, DNT can't work, but solutions similar to the one at hand[^0] seem much stronger as guarantees.

Needless to say, I'd also be very interested in using this system, or a subset thereof. Hopefully, in a way that ensures not even Apple can track me ;)

I have a social travel product (http://wherescool.com) that I launched in 2009 with a team composed of 65+ "writer interns" I found off of the NYC Craigslist jobs section. We filled up the site with so much quality content it was written up by the NY Times within a few weeks.

Pretty sure I was inspired by Reddit at the time, and also Yelp which actually was mostly seeded by paid writers in the early days.

There's an art to seeding communities that I wish I had more opportunity to dabble in...
Does that mean Google accepted they infringed by paying the $0? I'm not joking.
I agree completely, and I think Nagios does a good job at state tracking, notification, and scheduling. The interface is a bit clunky, but with the nuvola makeover it's completely serviceable. Pair it with something like ganglia or cacti for visualization and you're most of the way there.

I did my first startup at 29ish. Practice every day and you will get there. Don't worry about it otherwise.
yet another loss for the US due to the lack of a startup visa. I'd be curious to see as study that looked at all the startups that tried to make it to the US but failed and ended up being succesful somewhere else - as a result of which the US missed out on the revenues they would've generated. (I know this guy isn't trying to move a startup there - but so far he seems like a pretty strong candidate for being someone to start a potentially succesful one - reminds be a bit of the stripe guys actually!)

IPredict: Speed of light actually exceeded by 2015
Okay all you theoretical zealots, save your anger and your rage for someone else. You won't get my goat on this one.

It's widely accepted that c0, the speed of light in a vacuum, which has a refractive index of 1.0, is 299,792,458 meters per second (1).

The speed of light is widely seen as finite and the upper limit of any movement of anything with a positive rest mass. Most texts state with absolute conviction (something that is supposed to be unattainable in science) that even in experiments where the speed of light is exceeded, since the group velocity of the wave carries no information (wait, what?) it's not really occurring.

Science also assumes that a vacuum is the ultimate medium through which light can travel, which is why the speed of light (aka c0) is always quoted as measured in a vacuum.

I predict that by the end of 2015, subject to the end of the world later this year, experiments in superconductivity will show that light passing through a superconductive field having a refractive index of less than 1 will result in light exceeding c0, until that light encounters another field with a refractive index of 1 or more.

I also predict that we won't know what the hell to do with this, since CPU processing and memory access can't currently handle information at even c0 speeds, and passing information across the superconductive substrate at a refractive index of 0.9999999999 will cause a backlog of information at the CPU or memory controller, negating the benefit.

Nonetheless, the speed of light will be broken, causing either (a) the opening of scientific minds and the cessation of arbitrary unproven limits to fit mathematical models or, most likely, (b) the redirection and application of millions of man hours of the greatest minds in science to disprove this finding in order to preserve the status quo.

What say you?

I think this stems from the fact that a lot of people in the tech world, come from a pure tech background, and never bothered to educate themselves much with what a regular business functions like- to realize that - well - at the end of the day a business is a business - and the internet is mainly a medium - the basics will be same no matter where you are based. I'm a tech guy - but I made a conscious effort to read things occasionally that are not about tech businesses - it makes a world of a difference - in fact there are some businessy books I'd recommend to anyone - even if they arent ever interested in starting a business of their own - because they're also great life lessons hidden in those books :)
I just transitioned from an engineering role to a product management role. Product management means different things in different companies, but generally a product manager will interact directly with every other part of the company and "own" the product plan ---- what needs to get built and when. Engineering owns the how.

That said, I think project managers can really help things flow. If you've got a process you are sticking to, a project manager can help make sure things get done when they need to. This is especially important when lots of things are happening simultaneously (lots of clients and client requests, lots of business development effort, lots of growth, technical challenges).

I got paid nonetheless, which could be considered a success.

Then that's the problem, we mean different things when we say "success". For me, and for a lot of people I believe, "successful software" does not equals to just "the team got paid".

Where's your proof? I'd say that projects like Emacs and Linux are successful in spite of their leadership's social skills.

So, are you implying that all the others were?

Business/Management != Social Skills. I'm not familiar with Emacs history as a product (and I'm not sure if it was "successful" under your criteria), but Linux did required incredible management skills, and a lot of business-savy people for spreading it in the comercial world.

>I can't recall: when the iPhone came out was there a period of 'flailing' as devs figured out conventions that worked?

When the iPhone came out you couldn't develop apps for it.

There was a period of time when everyone was just using the Apple supplied apps and they laid the groundwork for establishing nearly all the conventions. New conventions have since been established (ie. pull-to-refresh) but the 'tone' was solidly set by Apple.

I always stay away from the comment section on this type of blog post, but your reply has encouraged me to add my own two cents just this time. Also a throwaway. I have a very similar story to you. I'm a little bit younger than you, and I've been very financially successful for a few years from my own ventures. I like to stay entirely out of the tech blogs for privacy reasons, but at least a few HNers know of my companies.

With all due respect to those involved, these blog posts are usually just linkbait.

The young people I know running the 7 or 8 figure per annum companies like to keep the stories to themselves.

Last week, an old business friend of mine raised an 8 figure round for his already highly profitable B2B software business. At his age he can't even legally drink in the US. The tech bloggers would wet themselves with this story, but he has kept it entirely under wraps for a few reasons. The thing about it is - literally one day after he closed the round, he was back to all-day coding sessions. He always says that if you just have focus, you can have anything. And this is truly evidence to support that.

Don't worry about what bloggers write or what others are doing. Focus on building something of value, experiment, never quit, and in no time you'll be the one deciding whether or not you want the tech blogs to write about you, not the other way around.
don't feed the trolls.
They are indeed for modularity. One benefit here is that dealerships can quickly swap part of a battery (cells and controller) to make repairs quicker. The other benefit is that smaller batteries can be made by using the same components and code.
