Try telling Syrian activists that social networking is "noise." The ability to freely share information is highly underrated in places where information may be freely shared. Thanks for the tip.
Technology and information is on the verge of bringing disruptively empowering change to people and societies everywhere. Politicians have lately realized how dangerous that can be to their entrenched positions in power. Even places like India, America and many other supposedly democratic countries are now clamping down hard on the Internet using various excuses. All of this is disheartening to say the least. China seems to be the role model for where we are headed.

That's the first I've heard that "the Bible" states that all sins are equally evil. Which bible's word are you following? Depending on other possible statements, it seems very likely that you would end up in a position where the punishment for killing someone would have to be the same as the punishment for stealing a candy bar.

Ask HN: Current status of .ly domains?
A while back (maybe 1 year) there was talk of .ly domain name being unsafe and also that domains were being deleted if geared towards an adult industry topic.

Is this true? What is the current status?

I was thinking of using LibyanSpider for registration. I saw others here have used it.
"As a side note, in the case of Arc dropping these delimiters is a false economy because without parentheses around the (if ) clauses one must insert (do ) statements to include a sequence of S Expressions inside the (cond) clause."

IIRC before making this decision I analyzed a corpus of CL code and found that the great majority of cond clauses had only one expression after the test. I think the reason cond traditionally has implicit progn is simply that JMC did not initially separate the two concepts in his mind.

Incidentally, in Arc = is assignment.

It's possible that they were completely innocent, but from the information in the article, that is not guaranteed. Any one of them may have known he was up to no good and silently accepted his actions, or perhaps even encouraged him in some way.

It's nicer to think of them as being completely innocent though.

Another question about this study is the effect of self-selection. In order for the researchers to collect the specific traffic data for the group of people in the study, I am assuming that the students had to give permission, i.e. sign a waiver, to permit such access.

Given that if I knew I was in a study, and that my internet usage was going to be studied, that would affect my usage of the internet. I might not download movies, or watch as much porn. Perhaps I wouldn't visit Facebook from the university networks.

Even if unconscious of the act, knowledge that they were being studied could easily have affected the resulting data. I would like to see if and how this was controlled for.

The Gospel According to “Prometheus” – Pure Church by Thabiti Anyabwile
Right but if I've goth links to third parties already, proxying them through Cloudfare does not reduce complexity, and would not reduce that connection setup time, since the connections already get set up in parallel. It might even add latency. I can see how spdy reduces complexity by permitting me not to have to deploy static links to different domains. I just don't see an advantage in changing links that originate on third parties already, to proxy through cf and multiplex.
Impressive! I wonder if this technique has advantages over the "scaffolding" technique[1]. Maybe the eye doesn't have enough of a protein scaffold between its cells for that method to work?

One way of viewing the bible is descriptive rather than prescriptive on this issue. For example, the bible says that all sin is equal, but not how to judge or punish that sin. That makes sense in the context of there only being one Judge.
Mr. Gupta’s friends adamantly dispute the notion that he was driven by material gain. At the trial, his private banker at JPMorgan Chase pegged his family’s net worth at $130 million, in addition to his home in Westport, Conn., a waterfront mansion once owned by the retail executive J. C. Penney.

“I don’t know who came up with this business that Rajat had billionaire envy,” said Anil Sood, a childhood friend from India who now lives in Virginia. “He has always been quite content with his wealth.”

Net worth of only $130,000,000? No, clearly this man has never been driven by material gain!

Ask HN: Will you buy Lighttable when it's released?
This is assuming you didn't already claim a copy during the kickstarter. I am a vim user, and lightroom seems more IDE like than I'm used to, but it also seems like the best IDE-like environment I've seen. I'm interested how much of HN is actually interested enough to buy it.
I am really enjoying Geekli.st! Not only can I keep up on the latest and greatest technologies, but I can follow along with the prime thought leaders of said technologies. Seeing how they integrated Github with Facebook's social graph makes it even more amazing.
Well, first of all, I'm not berating him, which is why I made an effort to note that I largely agree with his point here-- in fact, it is because I agree with him that I thought it was worth pointing out that "raising awareness" through a blog post is only half the battle-- people are far more inclined to respond to it if the author is willing to take the effort and do something about the problem.

Maybe Dave's planning on filing an objection, I don't know. If he is, great. But it is easy to come off as someone whining on the internet even if you have a respectable position if the only thing you're doing is complaining.

I think you're taking away too much from a TV show. The post you've made could possibly happen but how much would crime rates (robbery in the best scenario) rise because drugs are legal? I really don't know the answer.

One of the many things I've learned in my life is that criminals will go where the money is. In the early 20th century it was alcohol, prostitution, gambling, etc. They later moved on to drugs which was more profitable than alcohol, especially after prohibition ended. Criminals will always find a way to extort.
As with any release of something new, we would probably at least need to wait for it to stabilize and for useful community add-ons to be created before we could be as productive as we are with our other tools. I won't even look at it until I hear about it as much as I have heard of Sublime text 2 (as a useful tool as opposed to a hyped up Kickstarter project.)

That's an awful curious criticism to level against a platform.
Wow... I have recently taken courses that taught Baye's Theorem, and even more recently read a long, well-written piece about how even qualified people often misinterpret statistics (the way your parent did which is not congruent with Baye's theorem), and yet I still interpreted the stat in the same, incorrect way.
I liked this article, but I fear it is more out of hope than truth. I am not convinced that G+ will ever win.

If it does, it will be because of two things.

#1. Sideways adoptions (Google Docs, Android Phones, Etc)

#2. Walled gardens tend to stave themselves over time. Right now Facebook has mastered emulating AOL in the sense of "Facebook is the Internet" for many people. But once social becomes less hip, more a casual part of normal days the pull (or at least value) of FB will tank, since G+ attaches it to other things, it might survive better.
Hey thanks for the link. It looks useful.
Isn't there a "reverse Moore's Law" for software?

None of my multi-GHz, multi-core, multi-gigabyte machines boot up anything like as fast as my old AppleII or Osbourne portable. None of my text editors launches as quickly as WordStar used too. Moore's Law has _never_ quite kept up with the speed that software slows down.
I like the message here, but I have noticed as a leader that one of the downsides of this scenario is that you have to rebuild trust with your team. Yes, so you didn't die -- but they begin to wonder at your leadership ability, and it might nag at the edges unless its brought out into the open. Its great for the leader to know it will be alright, but I think you lose credibility if you don't demonstrate somehow that you've learned and are less likely (noticed I didn't say "never will") to make a similar mistake again.

As someone who has made plenty of mistakes leading, this is always the thing I worry most about and work on the most.
I used to be on the PC component treadmill for years. I'm a developer by trade and I got fed up with maintaining the hardware of my various computers, preferring to concentrate on coding. Now when it comes to hardware I prefer to buy the best I can afford, as fully specced as I can afford with the intention that the hardware should last me for 5 years. Being upgradable all of a sudden is not an issue for me anymore. It means I bought my 11" Air with the spec maxed out (yes even the expensive RAM) because I had too: it had to last me 5 years and is not user upgradeable.

I've never been happier with my current hardware choices and I dont have to fret over with processor has 0.2Ghz benefit or which ram has 100Ghz clock speed over whatever. I get to concentrate on writing servers in Go all day :)

The Science in this study is suspect at best (possibly wrong is another interpretation). There is some hand waving about how "privacy concerns" were addressed by not looking at What was happening on the computers but "how the internet was used". then they go on to describe exactly what was happening on the participants computer.
They are also using a second-degree correlation: answers on a survey to internet usage; as opposed to a direct correlation - already diagnosed depressives surfing habits.

There will be a point where HN could hurt you. So it's like that bell curve where you feel reading HN would help you but one side of the bell curve is a downward side and that's where you'll learn that HN is becoming more and more like any other aggregation sites out there.

When Meteor was released it was floating on the front page of HN for a while and attracted a lot of attention. One of the biggest criticisms people had was the total lack of authentication, which the developers said would be released eventually.

Eventually starts now, I guess.

I work for a bank, and I will be the first to admit that I contribute nothing to society. I'd gladly join a startup in Silicon Valley if I could (1) pay my $500/month student loan, (2) keep a roof over my head, (3) keep clothes on my back, and (4) feed myself. If your software has bugs, chances are great that I'll find them. I routinely break the platform (not on purpose) we use for risk management.
I thought folks already knew about this?

I know at least a few tech folks who have seen the Microsoft tablet demo'd, and been plied with free drinks to forget the experience.

Just a wild guess - not sure, but do you touch-type properly posture wise (all other considerations aside). I don't mean do you use the exact proper keys - but hands lifted from table, not resting on anything, etc etc?

Real coding - it's mostly planning and then writing code. A small workspace can help one focus, and if you are really into whatever environment you are using and it supports term/tmux and the usual unix stuff, you don't need a bunch of monitors at all - you can context switch just fine.... but that's hightly individual.

OTOH - when it comes to debugging and troubleshooting, give me tons of monitors so I can have proxies and remote debuggers and packet sniffers and who knows what else insturmented all over the place to find out what's wrong - but that's a different task.

And I will admit - lots of monitors can be a distraction, which is the killer of many a good programmer.
You mean something like http://activitystrea.ms/ ?
I think EVE is the ultimate lesson in sandbox gamification. Many MMOs have successfully plunged their players into alternate worlds and kept them addicted, but almost every one offers a pre-defined carnival-type experience rather than a sandbox. The chief reason why EVE and Minecraft are so popular is the freedom they offer to create entirely new things.

EVE, however, goes a step further in allowing players to organise themselves and engage in projects of even greater scale. The sandbox becomes a sort of construction workshop, where players are given tools to deploy their real-life knowledge and skills to build ever more complicated structures. Furthermore, EVE's rules encourage trade and competition - key aspects that keep players engaged and spur them to build, plan, organise, act.

The more EVE comes to resemble Real Life, the more it turns into a reasonable alternative to the latter (and you can even earn real-world money from EVE). This is the ultimate immersion, and if it became possible one day to support yourself from playing EVE, I have no doubt people would start doing it.

Maybe one conclusion for entrepreneurs to draw is that the combination of freedom + tools + competition on web services helps evolve them into true platforms, in which people 1) invest their egos, 2) build social networks that keep them coming back, and 3) organise and engineer to far greater extents. APIs and open interfaces amplify the impact of platforms - a principle wisely perceived by Facebook and many other platforms. EVE is just another example of the same.

There are also lessons to be drawn directly from experiences running corporations in EVE. I've read posts by people who started and ran small corporations and also those who ran megacorps/alliances, and they describe experiences rich in management and strategic principles. Strategy underpins the success of all but the least amibitious corps. Everyone has to plan how to deal with their ever-shifting, aggressive neighbours and protect their own holdings and profits (or expand their turf). Further, corp leaders have to learn to work with their growing membership and build HR/resource-planning systems to support them.

Playing EVE as a corporation manager/founder is definitely an educational experience for young people who eventually intend to manage teams in the future.
It's anecdotal, and maybe it's just me, but I've been a computer junkie, at work and at home for a good 20 years, i touch-type, somewhere in the top 5%, my posture sucks (other than where my hands sit relative to the keyboard) and I've had no RSI related issues that I can recall, ever.
That's a mix of apple keyboards, buckling spring keyboards, and barely tolerable dell keyboards. (There's a few along the way I threw out because they were too mushy... but other than that)

Perhaps it's something I do without intention - small breaks due to short attention span or somthing...... but not everyone gets injuries.

That said - your advice is all perfectly sound.
