As someone with the actual implant, I'd say no.

Think of it this way, people have been wearing magnetic body jewelry as an alternative to piercings for decades. Sensing magnetic fields has never been associated with magnetic jewelry.

The same way that holding a buckyball between two fingers close to a fan doesn't really create an unusual or striking response.

There's something unique about the implant that can't be replicated in other ways. I mean, I haven't tried this external device, but the above is my response to questions about magnetic rings, nail polish, earrings, etc.
Philosophical arguments should be just as evaluable as arguments in any other field. Many do depend on some empirical premises, but even the ones which don't should make sense, make sense out of things and be defensible.

The same way that holding a buckyball between two fingers close to a fan doesn't really create an unusual or striking response, comparatively.

Is it? Preference would mean that for a woman in IT seeking a job it is harder than for a man, right? Given that high female employment percentages look good in an IT manager's report I doubt that this is the case but if you have some relevant statistics please share.
>But there are reams of math and many fields of science (astronomy, paleontology) that have no practical utility.

Really? Just how do you think ships (and airplanes while over water) navigated before GPS? How do you think the radius (and from that and the density, the mass) of the earth was determined? Would you be able to drive your car to work if not for the effort of paleontologists (many of whom work for the oil industry)?
It is curious that Foucault's questioning of other fields cannot be sustained by Foucault himself.

If I can't reliably determine that what he says is actually true or applicable to anything then there is no more reason for me to buy into his opinions than those of the Catholic church or the guy next door. Possibly less. I don't have to live with Foucault and I can't hurt his feelings, at any rate.
This is great, I've wanted something like this for a long time, wish I could upvote it a hundred times ;)

Ask HN: Do software developers need agents?
I'm a freelance software developer and I can see value in hiring someone to handle 1)finding me gigs 2) contract and fee negotiations with companies looking for contract workers. Recruiters come close but have their clients', ie the hiring company's best interests in mind. Does such a service exist? If not why not?
'Depressed mood' is regularly used in both psychology and medicine. "The patient arrived in a depressed state" does not mean that they have one of the ongoing illesses of Depression.

Medical professionals do not ever call something clinical depression.

I used to work in a neurology lab, and I heard consultant neurologists use the term. I do not agree with 'do not ever'. Unless you're counting medical specialists that take 13 years to train as somehow not being 'professionals'.

Just googling 'clinical depression' comes up with a few links of professionals (like the Mayo Clinic) using the term. The important thing to not is that just because a term might not be in the DSM does not mean that the term is not used or meaningless. Yes, I'll agree, it's not used to refer to one specific disorder, but that doesn't make it meaningless.

You are not depressed, because depression is an illness.

Depression is an illness. It is also a transient state. You're doing the same thing as those people who say "but 'kid' actually means 'baby goat'".

The other problem with "clinical" is that it is widely used by cranks

Fallacy of association: Cars are widely used by criminals, therefore we should not use cars.
Would you really correct a co-worker who said 'bob is depressed because his team lost last night' with 'no he's not, because depression is an illness'?
Thanks for the info :)

I lament that HN has lost its way enough that this thread didn't make it anywhere near the top of the homepage.

> It's not unethical to try to influence someone, even subconsciously, even by the choice of arbitrary design elements ("you start with 2 of 12 checked") -- as long as there's no deception

I feel your statement is too pat. Why is that not unethical? Based on what ethical pattern?

If the basis of ethics is being truthful, it would seem that ease of understanding is also an important part of ethics. Subconscious manipulation and influence seems to be at odds with that goal.

Perhaps such manipulations is inevitable in a marketplace where everyone engages in unethical mental manipulation, but that does not make it ethical.

Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover Review
I'm not sure that's true. One case that comes to mind is World of Warcraft server queues. In general, waiting in a queue to log into a server is something a player does either daily or never, and people really like to comment on their very exciting experience in the queue once they finally get in. In several years, I don't remember ever seeing a negative comment about how the queue didn't take as long as the initial estimate and in fact there were often positive comments when that happened. On the other hand, when the initial estimate was too low, people frequently complained about how bad Blizzard was at providing estimates.
Node is popular because it allows normal people to do high concurrency servers. It's not the fastest or leanest or even very well put together - but it makes good trade offs in terms of cognitive overhead, simplicity of implementation, and performance.

I have a lot of problems with Node myself - but the single event loop per process is not one of them. I think that is a good programming model for app developers. I love Go so much (SO MUCH), but I cannot get past the fact that goroutines share memory or that it's statically typed. I love Erlang but I cannot get the past the syntax. I do not like the JVM because it takes too long to startup and has a bad history of XML files and IDE integration - which give me a bad vibe. Maybe you don't care about Erlang's syntax or static typing but this is probably because you're looking at it from the perspective of an engineer trying to find a good way to implement your website today. This is the source of our misunderstanding - I am not an app programmer arguing what the best platform to use for my website--I'm a systems person attempting to make programming better. Syntax and overall vibe are important to me. I want programming computers to be like coloring with crayons and playing with duplo blocks. If my job was keeping Twitter up, of course I'd using a robust technology like the JVM.

Node's problem is that some of its users want to use it for everything? So what? I have no interest in educating people to be well-rounded pragmatic server engineers, that's Tim O'Reilly's job (or maybe it's your job?). I just want to make computers suck less. Node has a large number of newbie programmers. I'm proud of that; I want to make things that lots of people use.

The future of server programming does not have parallel access to shared memory. I am not concerned about serialization overhead for message passing between threads because I do not think it's the bottleneck for real programs.
I think if someone's running a majority of metro apps it might be a bit less jarring (because they are used to the "app as the whole screen" thing), but it can be confusing when switching, and the switch feels a bit like everything else has "closed" if you're used to the task bar. The windows key acts as a good anchor though, everything feels pretty close at hand.

I do like that quick little context box for the other installed apps. Advantage to how that app selection context box works is that it scales with the users expertise - if you do see it, it means you've installed software, which probably means you understand why the selection is necessary. Average mum and dad user probably won't come across it / get confused by it.

QED
I'm assuming this is BPM, if you want something a bit harder. IMO needs an option for ambient/downtempo stuff I personally find it hard to get stuff done to dance music.
To clarify, here's my thoughts:

0) Embed apps on the frontend: The APIs you mention are good, but they are backend APIs or APIs for customizing (say) maps within a widget on your site. I'm talking about opening up the frontend too. A prosaic way of thinking about it is an App Store for each large Yahoo subdomain, starting with search.yahoo.com but ultimately allowing very deep apps that pull from many Yahoo properties. Importantly, app installation buttons should be heavily but tastefully promoted: every relevant URL, map result, or email from an app provider should allow a one-click install with ID and billing optionally from Yahoo.

1) Concrete example: suppose Yahoo allowed website proprietors to embed a widget to the right of search results that linked to them. The widget would display if it met the performance and load requirements of Yahoo Search, and not if it didn't. Given that Yahoo is now powered by Bing, this could be a Windows Phone tile sort of thing. Visualize a minified version of what you'd click on the website to see. Facebook could show your last 5 messages, Mint your last few payments, and so on. Basically, take microformats to the next level and allow site proprietors to create their own onebox experiences.

2) Data: In addition to opening up apps, take every piece of data that Google never made open for fear of giving away a proprietary advantage and throw open the doors with an aggressively priced data.yahoo.com API, both to monetize and to differentiate against Google.

3) Re: Yahoo's open stuff in the 2006-2009 timeframe -- that was grassroots and built by engineers, never really pushed by their leadership as the future.

4) The Y Prizes: One other thought is that if this open strategy works, Yahoo could announce an acquisition tournament for each hot new closed web property. All the Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Quora, and Pinterest clones would register for a three month competition to build an API to Yahoo's spec, with the winner being acquired for a fixed up front cost of say $10M. Cheap for Yahoo, life changing for the 5 man dev teams that would arise for a shot at this prize. These Y Prizes would allow Yahoo to stay ahead of the curve on new stuff without trying to do everything themselves.

5) Moral high ground: Yahoo as the platform for the Open Web would give them the moral high ground and goodwill to pick (and win) a bunch of fights. Always punch up.
The entire post is discriminatory... claiming that content and services such as Pinterest and Martha Stewart are specifically feminine. I wouldn't know how to cook an omelet if it weren't for Martha Stewart, and I know plenty of males, not to mention the non binary gendered, Pinterest users.
Actually, on the iPad 3, speech recognition is really, really good. My wife uses this keyboard for typing the few misspellings left over from speech recognition. And for small edits.

An iPad 3 with this keyboard cover makes a great laptop substitute.
In my case, it was cheaper to pay for a physical Sunday delivery subscription which includes digital. I don't really want the Sunday paper, but it's a better deal.
Genuinely curious what keeps you in Y! Mail over GMail. Is it the history of your messages, the familiarity of the system, or something else entirely?

The last time I looked at Yahoo's mail, you had to pay to enable IMAP access. Even stranger, it wasn't a recurring fee, but just some one-time deal. Seems to have changed now, at least?

Is there a limit to how steep on the gradient you can go with this? If you give someone 900 out of 1,000 will they be rushing to fill in that last 100 because they've only got ten percent left on the card? Or is it limited to easily foreseeable goals in the single digit or near to that range?
I bought the digital subscription then I cancelled it after I kept seeing ads. I hope this changed.

Yep, serialized message passing between threads is slower - you didn't have to go through all that work. But it doesn't matter because that's not the bottleneck for real websites.

Also Node starts up in 35ms and doesn't require all those parentheses - both of which are waaaay more important.
I'm more a fan of rock and metal, but I dig the Fast & Faster functionality. It would be awesome to have that for a rock & metal playlist:

hard rock -> heavy metal -> thrash metal -> speed metal

And for this genre, even Hard & Harder functionality. Hells yea.

Help Make Apollo 11 Moon Landing a Holiday.
So, basically, a guy who really likes Linux dislikes Windows 8. He is a guy with an agenda, I get that. But, I am pretty sure he completely made this up: "Now, though even some of Microsoft strongest fans are beginning to back off from praising Windows 8." I have heard nothing but excitement from the Microsoft community about Windows 8 and the Surface. Honestly, I didn't read past that statement. This guy is a hack.
Taking a validated known-good cert and, from that point on, simply verifying that the cert remains bit-for-bit identical is called "certificate pinning", and while it does create problems with revocations, your service is going to break as soon as Github revokes their certificate anyways, so it's not like you won't notice.

They probably want the best camera possible for a given thickness so that the surfaces are still flat. Probably easiest to fence off one corner.
So you still need to provide some mechanism to prevent malisous attacks. The point of validating certificates is to prevent this class of attack.
While I don't have magnetic implants, I have been wearing a magnetic ring the last few months. Much less intense, but something that is easily reversible. Finding fields has been interesting and when I do run across them I do stop in my tracks and move around finding the intensity/size of the field. Guess I could say it is like if you are blind and feeling a ball in the air. After just a few swipes through it and your mind can picture where the field is strong enough to "touch" and typically where the center is. Now with a ring I feel _way_ less than implants or other solutions and no doubt miss many fields, but it is still cool, fun, and simple (no batteries, surgery, etc).

It also has perks such as picking up small screws I drop, turning on/off my ipad/macbook/blackberry with just a swipe of my hand and dangling my keys if I need to hold something else in my hand.
The problem with doing this is that many/most enterprise IT shops use security devices to proxy SSL traffic, altering the cert that the client sees.

So unless you really understand you app's deployment scenario well, you should proceed with caution. Also note that 2% of enterprise IT people understand SSL at all, (and the devices that do the MITM part are usually controlled by the security dept) so troubleshooting will be close to impossible.
Because during most of the development cycle when these libraries are being used, the certificates aren't validating (they're dev/test/UAT systems) --- and so during actual development, certificate verification seems like just another annoying obstacle to clear as quickly as possible.
I'm surprised at how little Rock/Metal music is represented on Soundcloud. I have several songs I recorded years ago that get virtually no views on Soundcloud, most likely because they are tagged as rock/metal tracks. Seems like these bands are more content with MySpace than experimenting on Soundcloud.
I'm not saying this is a software bug, I'm saying it's a broken platform.

The package tells me it's version 7.0.4, released 15 June 2011. It's the version currently packaged by Fedora, and it's barely a year old. Yet it's already incompatible with new software?
Those proxies publish their fake CA=YES certs, so you can just add them to your root and everything will validate.

I second that. I am developing a Metro app using JS and I really like it. Visual Studio is a really nice IDE. And, the tools and documentation are solid as well. I honestly think the author of this article just makes stuff up to try to prove his point.
In the United States denying children access to things seems to be quite impractical :-)

I also worry that smart kids will work out that calculators are ubiquitous before they force themselves to become proficient at mental arithmetic (e.g. Google and Spotlight are both far more powerful calculators than anything I had access to as a student).

Open Source Collection of Small Robot (3pi) Projects
I will say up front that I have no good solution. That said, as a human, I hate captchas or anything else that makes me jump through hoops to do something that should be simple. The industry is punishing people to avoid bots or (whatever they are using them for in the instance), and yet it doesn't even work to accomplish that goal. Eliminate it all. Find something new.
I wish I knew what to suggest. But it won't be anything at all like a captcha, stupid game to play, security questions, or anything like that.

A feature to save the songs will be great. I know that I can go back to SoundCloud when clicking on a song but its a hassle so far. So how about adding a small profile? Otherwise excellent idea.
Thanks. You might want to check out Strava too.

My site is focused on the niche of "serious" cyclists who use power meters. The three main ones are PowerTap, Quarq and SRM, none of which are cheap (you can get a PowerTap wheel for about $1k, and that's the cheapest). They're widely used by competitive cyclists, and as somebody who loves numbers, I highly recommend them (power data is the most revealing data that can be collected on a bike), but the vast majority of bikes don't have them (yet).

I'm not trying to dissuade you from using my site, but you might be more satisfied with Strava. That said, it's possible to use both — rides uploaded to my site can be automatically uploaded to Strava.

Nokia Sales Numbers Look Grim, but There`s Hope With Windows Phone: IDC
That is some top-notch lede burying.
Essentially, IDC's hope is ...

"Llamas thinks Nokia should improve training for carrier store reps to better educate them on the Nokia Windows Phone products and get them as “excited” about selling Nokia models as they are about selling Samsung or Apple products. He’s also encouraged by news reports that Nokia is considering paying incentives to carriers in Europe to be exclusive resellers of Nokia smartphones running Windows Phone 8 (WP8)."
There is also a important lesson which goes like this: your scripts should operate on a buffer (even a temporary one) and almost never on strings. Its generally easier that way because there is so much support from all the functions already exposed to editing tasks.

if you could fit foucault into that box, he would no longer be foucault, yes? Just another piece of science. perhaps there is a single box of knowing--explicit, falsifiable knowing--and everything else is noise. this is attractive: learn a set of rules, apply them rigorously, yield knowledge, repeat. clearly productive, many fruits.

alternately, perhaps this box is a subset of knowing. it's conceivable. and necessarily, the whole wouldn't follow the same rules as the part. it could be a challenge to leave our box, like learning a foreign language without cognates. i mean, it does all sound like noise, doesn't it? gives me such a headache.
The key to the fourth estate is to separate it from biased monetary concerns: government funding (can be cut if critical of the government) and corporate funding (aka ads- if you criticize the advertisers, they leave).
