I find it telling that in this AMA as well as a few other interviews he seems to be noticeably more excited about the educational startup that he's a CEO of than the driverless car or glass projects. I guess no matter how great an environment an employer provides (and my understanding is that Google X is an upgrade from the regular Google) there's just more excitement when you're captain of your own ship.

Some more interesting information on Gorrilas (from the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorillas_(video_game) )

* It was actually created by IBM

* Other games included with QBASIC include Nibbles (snake), Money (a financial calculator), and REMLINE (removes line numbers from old BASIC programs.)

* The BASIC source code is linked to from the wikipedia page

* Another implementation can be found here: http://zefonseca.com/gorillasjs/. It lets you play against an AI, but loses some nostalgia since the graphics are different.

My phone cannot make long distance calls with my plan someone please call this site owner and get them involved in this effort. We need the poster's IP address. 4 hours and counting.
Well that's just my mistake, then. :/ Thanks for the backup, I didn't mean to post half-cocked.
I'm convinced that all the people repeating the mantra about memory and CPU use switched away a year ago and haven't actually tried a recent version. The alternative (to being ignorant) is that they are flat out liars, because anyone who has tried a recent version knows point blank that they are wrong.
Hi, thanks for listing JustUnfollow. I made this about 2 years ago and we're 2 months away from hitting a million users... Last week we launched a native Android app and we'll soon be launching an iPhone app as well :)
Countries sometimes disagree about what is or isn't a country, and also on what lands/people are in what country.
Filthy PCs: The X-rated circus of horrors
Great, I learn by being misunderstood :)
I did think about people who stop playing because of outside events, like a new season of "Game of thrones" or a girl, not about ingame events.

However, there is of course a fundamental bias in game economies. Another example would be, that in game economies people use unethical tactics, like simply killing competition. ( I did not hear of Bing-hordes raiding the Google HQ.)
I agree, and of course can do this 'approximation' by hand

(even though I may do it backwards sometimes, like, 365/7 ok, 365 looks like 700/2 so that's a start, or 7x5 = 35 so 7x50 = 350 so there goes)

What I meant to say is that math is not only about juggling numbers
An approach I think would work is self-organising rather than moderated: http://williamedwardscoder.tumblr.com/post/15581427232/self-...
I'm unfair judging this by the press article rather than the study itself but isn't that like saying kids who are smarter do better at math later in life? IQ tests of small kids are wildly inaccurate because of how kids develop at different speeds so how can you control for it?

But whatever argument they need to get to teach better maths to kids I'm all for it.
Agreed. I never learned long division, and now I'm getting a PhD in engineering. Computers are good at arithmetic - let them do it! Teach your kids to code instead.
This attack is what Iran says they did to capture the US drone a few months ago. It's pretty crazy that GPS signals include no cryptographic authentication, even for military use.

I'm not so worried about this kind of attack on civilian aviation. It would be a directed attack: potentially deadly but rare and focussed. I'm much more worried about the casual disruption to GPS from truck drivers spending $99 on a grey market device.
At the same time Southern Africa was fighting a proxy war between the West and USSR. It was pretty hard to dismantle apartheid but be sure Russia didn't end up with a South African client. After the cold war ended the decision became much easier.
Let's say Firefox itself makes you want to overwhelm it with addons. Either way it can't do more than Chrome, and Chrome is faster, so why should I use Firefox then?
That sentiment is one I've felt basically since I started using Chrome as well. Indeed, at that time, it was true.

Due to a bunch of Chrome bugs in our game I've had to switch to Firefox the last couple of months just to be able to browse other websites. I am amazed at how much they have improved, in terms of memory/speed as well their UI. I've now switched back from Chrome and dare say that I like it better.

As others have said though, the damage was done when so many people tried Chrome. Getting them to even try FF again is going to be very difficult.
I had heard of Vizio before but never held them in the same league as the Samsungs or LGs of the TV industry. I appreciate how they seem to be fighting against the flow to do things differently. Instead of cramming extra software and stickers onto their product Vizio chose to sterilize, and instead of supporting legacy connectors and optical disk drives Vizio chose to modernize.
I feel like I made a mistake incorporating in CA instead of Delaware. Should I consider setting up a "parent" company or something in Delaware?
I setup Ubuntu 11 along with Windows 7 on my Lenovo laptop and it has been working beautifully so far.
Newspapers should move from reporting news to analyzing various issues. I consider the German Die Zeit as a prime example of this model.
Cool. I've read about JBara, which provides a CRM plugin that aims to predict when people are going to cancel and give you a chance to retain them.

The webserver has no credentials for accessing the backup server. Instead the backup server accesses the webserver.

This strategy places higher trust on the backup server, but the backup server is easier to defend -- it only needs connectivity to a small number of other IPs.
If you want Internet access for news, research, and other "real time" information in rual Wyoming, of course you don't want the Slow Web experience, so this idea doesn't even apply. If the Slow Web is brought to you via postal service, you don't expect it everyday and its not a hardship if service holidays and interruptions occur. Do you complain for 29 days a month that your favorite magazine didn't arrive in your mailbox? No, you just wait for it, and enjoy it when it arrives that month. This is where most of the conflict I'm seeing with proposals for different kinds of radio-management are coming from. I know people don't "work" this way, but this was never an idea for the Fast Web to begin with.

The reason why I'm suggesting this is useful for newspapers isn't because this is how people would receive the newspaper, and only the newspaper, they would be sending and receiving any other content from the network (as in not-original-content by the newspaper) but instead from everyone else connected to the network via the newspaper. Newspapers are already suffering from the Fast Web/Slow Web problem, a newspaper on paper is slow-web and the newspaper online is Fast Web, and with so much freely available Fast Web content, they have a hard time convincing people to pay. News goes stale faster than the speed of rumor, so let the Fast Web have it, and make long-lived content that people want instead, enjoying it on their own time.

If access points no longer have the issues I observed 4–5 years ago, that's great, but they don't solve the problem of network coverage over larger geographical areas and I'm pretty sure that few or no access point systems can handle the load if someone fires up a popular torrent or watches a streaming movie on the shared network, but then, no one wants them to do that, that's a violation of the Fast Web Etiquette—but receiving an hour television show you subscribe to on a 4GB SD card is going to be a much better experience in terms of video quality and the lack of buffering should there be any hiccups with the Fast Web. In that respect, newspapers can become the "store" for other desired content and save their collective asses.
Here is my comment on their desktop computer: it has two pieces, one with most of the electronics plus a monitor, the other with an AC-to-DC converter plus a sub-woofer. I much prefer the more conventional division of duties in which one piece is a monitor, the other piece has a power supply and most of the electronics and the interface between the 2 pieces is some standard protocol like DVI-D, HDMI or DisplayPort.

I notice that their desktop computer uses a mobile CPU, which has advantages and disadvantages. One of the biggest advantages is portability, which is useful even in a "desktop" computer like the Mac mini. Specifically, the reduction in the demands on the cooling system allows the electronics and the case containing the electronics to be small and light. (A 2011 Mac mini or the recently-announced Chromebox for example weighs only 2.7 pounds including the AC adapter which in both cases is built-in.) But if you integrate the mobile CPU with a monitor, you lose the ability to unplug the box with the CPU from your monitor, carry it around and plug it into some other monitor or TV (which is something I do a lot with my Mac mini).
You Are the Exception to the Rule
There is cryptographic hash so that you can't send false data, but replaying the existing data but time delayed is still possible. The timing is how the triangulation fix is done. More sources of data, the harder it is to spoof. If you only have 3 or 4 fixed points, it's easy to spoof. 6 to 10 and it becomes extremely difficult.

Also military GPS is far more accurate than civilian GPS by a factor of 10x.
The point I'm making is that people have to create defects in the first place. Contrary to some claims on these threads, most code does have a finite amount of exploitable defects.
My quick and dirty way to it is to run a cron on the backup server that chowns incoming files to another user (with a few refinements, like preventing exec, etc). But I'd definitely like something more solid.
Fedora is the first distro trying to include Btrfs by default. We'll see if they make that happen in their December release of Fedora 18.
Dude, you will need to jump in, and preserver with it. You said "my ideas I usually get stuck and flail and call it quits", quitting means that you will stop learning. As soon as you quit, the game is over. Persistent is one of the key ingredient to gaining the knowledge.

I think that you should join an open source project that uses the same framework that you want to learn. There are plenty of projects from github, source forge, bitbucket, google code etc. That way, you get access to already code that is working, and able to get some guidance from the folks already working on the project.

Good luck!
You said Luby, so prepare to be vaporized.

On the technical side, theoretically this should only be a few percent faster than BitTorrent but requires significant complexity.
Daisy Disk for Mac is missing from this list (or maybe they don't count their visualization as treemap, but I think it is closely related and saw it categorized as such).

http://www.daisydiskapp.com/
It's worth noting that Treemaps have shifted over time from maps that were often used to show complete filesystems with high-levels of depth, to visualizations that showed data one-or-two level deeps. This later kind in what you tend to see in newspapers and in financial data analysis.

If anyone's interested in generating Treemaps (especially of the later kind) I wrote a JS library to generate them after being frustrated how ugly all the existing off-the-shelf implementations were:

Shoutout: Consumer protection and Consumer dispute redressal.
Exactly this.

If Google started paying $200k to match the spot price on the exploit market, the market would react by pushing the price up. Soon Google would be paying $300k, then $400k.

But at some point, that price appreciation has to stop, because there will stop being counterparties who will see $500k or $700k as a rational price to pay for an exploit.

When that happens, one of the legs of the vulnerability market will get knocked out; the market will have discovered some approximation of the true value of an exploitable security vulnerability (again: that value is based on immoral behavior, but reality doesn't care about that). Google will pay it, because it can, because the final price of exploitable vulnerabilities is certainly a tiny tiny fraction of their total overhead, and because Google has an advantaged long-term position that will enable it to control the supply of exploits and eventually bring its costs back down.
Anyone know - how does it handle file downloads?
sorry, but good luck!
That was a great line by him.

"I like offending people because I think people who get offended should be offended."
So if you ever did something bad, you can't stop other people doing it? An ex-thief gone straight should watch and do nothing as someone is robbed in front of him? A reformed killer must turn away as someone is murdered in front of her? A nation that manages to start on the road away from its prejudices must turn a blind eye to the suffering of other peoples?
Startups do not have the cushion or luxury of time and resource compared to larger companies like Google. They usually have a specific tech. stack that they use especially in the early days. OTOH, Google etc. have engineers building things in every possible language. So there is no specific need to only hire say Python engineers.
The more recent book _The Futures_ covers the same subject and has most of the same flaws, excepting perhaps that it takes a more measured tone about the schemers who rigged the early commodity markets.
Just because it's clean and rounded courners. I think they've got the same mindset (keep it simple, no blinking lights, etc) and I appreciate that.

But no, they're not blatantly ripping off an apple keyboard (cough HP Envy cough) and tricking people into thinking it's a mac from far away.

The Marmalade Identity: Super Slow Motion Effects That Look CGI
Just a quick note on those HP microservers - I have one, and I'm fond of it, but the e-SATA port doesn't support hotplug and the inbuilt ethernet doesn't support jumbo frames (at least, under versions of Linux that I've tried).

The e-SATA thing probably doesn't matter too much, but for anyone looking to run iSCSI or even higher-throughput NFS, the absence of jumbo frames may be a more important consideration.
Not really, but inventors can educate the public on the risks their inventions create.

Styling Nice Text with JavaFX 2 and CSS
This is stupid. As John Pescatore said, there's no possible positive outcome in this situation. You're feeding the bad guys fake documents, great! They're still on your network, owning your kit, not so great!

Defeating this type of threat is often three small parts technology, three big parts of HR investment and 1 massive part of user awareness training, something I recently commented on here[1].

There's a saying among people with messy desks: "clean desk, empty mind". Personally I don't mind having so many tabs, but once it affects performance I go and clean them up. Many of the tabs I listed are now gone, and while a few new ones are open, I think I have fewer in aggregate.
I believe http://www.entropiauniverse.com/ was one of the first games to support real money in-game.
Look at it from this angle:

Offer your body to make money (prostitution): ~ 1 year (US, couldn't find South Korea numbers)

Offer virtual items to make money: max 5 years

Offer your body to make money BUT TAPE IT: Legal (to my knowledge)

Note, i'm not commenting on the morality or rightfulness of either policies, just pointing out this (to me) interesting fact
this is all new to me and i'm struggling to find a friendly, simple introduction to the field. does anyone have a good link to, say, an introductory article on fountain codes? i'm starting to get a feel for the idea from reading various wikipedia pages, paper abstracts, powerpoints, etc, but a good "layman's" article would be great...

[update] huh. just after posting i started searching for "fountain codes" and found this - http://blog.notdot.net/2012/01/Damn-Cool-Algorithms-Fountain... (previously had been searching for luby, raptor, etc).
Linus Torvalds: Nvidia, Fuck You
You can ask yourself a few questions and get started accordingly. For example, what languages are you interested in ? PHP ? Python ? Java ? Pick up 1 of them. Since you mentioned Django,I assume you are working with Python. But then, play around with at least 2 frameworks. May be try Flask (micro-framework in Python) which I am falling in love with. Build the same app in both frameworks. I personally did User management/registration app in both Django and Flask. Start small. Build layers on top. There is no one way of course but building a few small apps just for learning will help tremendously.
$3000-$4000 to set up a hygienic Delaware C corporation is not a good use of funds early on. You can spend an order of magnitude less than that to get 99.9% of the benefits of that C Corp with a Delaware LLC.

People often point out that VCs demand C corporations. But they leave out two very important issues with that: first, the closing costs of an institutional VC round will dwarf those of company formation, and the C Corp can easily be rolled into that; and second, it's become an article of faith among my friends who have gotten VC rounds that no matter how carefully you structure your original C corp, the VC's lawyers are just going to rip it up and start over anyways.

Either way: you can almost certainly defer this expense safely, so that it can be thought of as part of the overhead of taking investment as opposed to a a major, speculative, early capital expenditure.

The major benefit of a C Corp over an S Corp, and much of the reason VCs require it, is that C Corporations can issue multiple classes of shares. Similarly, the major advantage of an S Corp over an LLC is that there's a cleaner separation between equity ownership and company participation and employment; it can be tricky to issue equity stakes to employees of an LLC. So: if you have a diverse early membership, with employees and junior cofounders and part-time founders and investors, you should definitely shell out for legal advice ASAP, because those issues will bite you in the ass later.

But if you fall into the mold of 80% of the companies that end up in "Show HN" posts, with 2-3 cofounders with mostly equal stakes (or at least very clear expectations about percentages), you're probably fine with an LLC until you're not fine with one, at which point the expensive of forming a C Corp isn't going to matter.

Has anyone found a link to the actual audio file? I'm traveling and would like to listen to this.
We were doing this as part of a fundraising process, so I'm not sure how it would go without that. I presume it'd be cheaper although I'd still want a lawyer involved. But, if there's no fundraising, then based on my experiences I wouldn't create a US Co. anyway.
It is certainly ok to require excellent communication skills in hiring certain positions. Probably not for all positions across an enterprise, though.

Registering a company in UK is indeed a breeze, but try to open up a bank account for it if you're not a resident.

I'm from Poland, and every single bank in UK asks me not only about my company office's address, but also the founder/director address. Living outside of UK (although still in EU), I found no way around this yet.

Have I got this right? If you set up a company in Delaware, and then had your actual operating offices elsewhere (say San-Fran), you wouldn't need to pay any corporation tax? Or would you need to pay it in San-fran?
