Here's why it doesn't work:

Remove 140 character limit: That is the essence of twitter. The limit helps me consume a lot more tweets than I can consume long winding emails or articles.

Whitelist: So make it difficult for someone to send you an email unless they are pre-approved? That looks like solving the spam problem with too big a hammer. I think the spam problem is mostly solved btw. I don't get it on either my Hotmail, yahoo or gmail addresses and an occasional spa can easily be marked and future emails get filtered

Hashtags: Google tried to do this in gmail as labels and I think failed. The automatic classification that Hotmail started (to identify important email, email from contacts, etc.) and probably is there in gmail too is the direction. Why make me do the wok when a machine can do it for me?
Almost everyone does argue that.. sort of.. only there usually is no argument. Its taken as a given in most cases.

That belief is more a result of where we have been than on a logical assessment of where we are now.

If your back end team is separate from your front end team, programming in a different language, building a codebase to support multiple departments or multiple third-party integrators with a single web API for a one-of-a-kind world changing application running primarily in HTML browsers, then it may not make a lot of sense to try to package together the back end and front end code the way I am suggesting.

However, if your goal is to create an easy to use desktop-like website/web application building/editing experience that maximizes code reuse across applications (built on the same framework) on a Node.js/WebSocket/MongoDB/HTML5 stack, however, then my approach with packaging the back end code along with the front end code makes more sense. Yes, you may need to add a REST API on top of the back end if you need that.
3 Factors To Consider For Continued Company Growth
INNOVATION, VISION and DETERMINATION...Factors to consider for continued company growth.
I agree that verbal hitting on isn't per se offensive, even if it's not something I'd do or suggest at a professional event (unless you know the person, odds are very high that a female at a hacker related party is either really on guard due to the 50 other people who have hit on her, or is someone's girlfriend or spouse, or both. Not a very productive environment.)

If people are grabbing your fiancee's ass at events, either you or she should be talking to the conference organizers. I assume none of this happened at BSidesLV.

(Personally, I'm waiting for someone to go reaching for a female attendee's ass and brush up against her M11, due to being from OSI or whatever and attending for work. I suspect hilarity would ensue...)
You say you can write a graph algorithm. All you need to do is follow through and stick to a project long enough to research the necessary stuff and finish.

You might start with small projects. You may be able to find some online course which walks you through making small projects (rather than the typical algorithm stuff).
This is very likely a hoax; someone typed "Department of Homeland Security" into a form, and YouTube didn't do anything to verify it. Quite likely the same person who made the video in the first place, actually. The Streisand Effect is well-enough known that people have started to use pretending to be censored as a strategy.
Legal salaries are bi-modal. You either work at a big firm paying the market big-firm rate ($160k+ bonus in NYC, Chicago, etc) or you work at a small firm making $45-70k.

There are some weird market dynamics in the legal field. Law firms create an artificial shortage of lawyers, and thus a corresponding explosion in associate salaries, because they refuse to hire substantial amounts outside the top 15 schools or so. They'll hire anyone at Stanford and most people at Duke, but only the very top of the class at say U Washington.
The world hasn't ended yet; not accepting things you think are wrong is what creates the world for ourselves.
So, the answer to people failing at basic mathematics and being unable to pass high school or college is to simply lower the standards? Why stop at mathematics? Why not stop short of anything beyond being able to write Tweets or just figure out where the signature box on a loan application is (but not understand all those funny things that come before it)?

Many want to say college degrees aren't necessary. I say fine, great that's awesome. For this NY Times article, I say, well of what utility is a high school education? I think it benefits society for people to be able to read at least enough for Google to sell people text-based advertising that most citizens can modestly understand so we should have training to a fourth grade level or so. But really, once you know "1+1" then just leave it that and it's time to go to the Nissan plant.

This just seems like someone saw the movie Idiocracy and decided "that's a good plan."

We have a bad education system in some ways in the U.S? Much of it is probably related to poverty and, perhaps, to some extent, parental irresponsibility. This is just pathetic. The idea that we should just throw away any standards is hard to take serious. For many people in this audience, it would probably benefit us greatly, financially, but if you care about society as whole, it doesn't sound very appealing.
Don Knuth releases Volume 4, Pre-fascicle 6A [gzipped ps]
I think the article said the 140 character limit is only removed for DMs. Regular tweets stay the same.
So, would you expect the company to tell you about strategic direction of the company up until the exact second of your leaving? Surely, if you are expected to bare your kimono up until the last second, they would have no problem sharing all of the same confidential information you've been privy to while working there.

Or is it more likely that both sides fully understand that there is an untangling and winding down of trust?
I just found that it was an unnecessary, hard to navigate tool. I was much quicker at finding files using Command-T, or, if I didn't know where something was, just browsing the folder structure from the command line.

> And, at Instacart we believe we can have the same efficiencies IF we model the stores in a city just like AMZN modeled warehouses across the world.

My supply chain experience comes almost entirely from third-party shipping (somewhat) similar to this. In my opinion it's considerably harder and more problematic than dealing with your own fulfillment centers. You give up a lot of control.

There's a whole slew of problems:
* Integration with other people's systems, which are often horribly dysfunctional, require manual intervention (such as re-keying), and can't give you the data you need (e.g. stock levels)
* The fact that you have to rely on staff that don't work for you, and either don't care about you, or in some cases deliberately sabotage your orders
* You're often relying on a vendor who is also a direct-competitor in this or other channels

I think a good model is Seamless. They act as the middleman just as you do, however it's the restaurant's name you see, rate, and attach reputation to. This gives them the incentive to provide good service. If you're shielding your vendors from the effects of providing bad service, then there's less incentive to provide good service.

I think it's an interesting problem to solve. Though here in NYC we're spoiled by a large range of next-day options; I personally use services such as Fresh Direct, Amazon (Prime and "Shop 'n Save"), Soap, and USQ Wines.
The Nexus 7 is a viscous liquid, apparently
Thanks Anand for moving this away from the .xxx discussion (interesting as it may be). I am fascinated by early employees, since I'm also in the same boat. Although I must admit that my experience hasn't been as positive. While I acknowledge there are many contributing factors to my "less positive" experience, I do consider the lack of proper incentives a key issue.

So were financial incentives structured to increase your commitment? If so, how? I know this question could be a bit sensitive, so I don't expect comments on the details. I am just interested in the general structure or design of incentives, and how that affects the way you work.

Insider Financial Fraud Largely Unsophisticated, But Costly
Twitter:
* single point of failure
* one namespace for all users (remember how much AOL sucked? xXAllNamesAreTaken1998Xx)
* the service is defined by its terse 140 character limits and the core use case would degrade if this was lifted.

Silly article.
Make small projects that you want/need, e.g. a utility that changes volume based on current time. That way, there's some drive to complete projects. You could also freelance, as money is a good incentive for getting things done.
" Money isn't a strong motivator for me."

Please don't say that - it is disingenuous. Money is a strong motivator for 99.99999% of the world. Money lets you do things you otherwise could not do without that money. It's reasonable to say things like, "Money isn't the only motivator for me."
Can't upvote you high enough! Same can be said about any subject, mastering of which requires applying it to problems with objective answers. (Physics, Geometry...)
Selectively De-Animating Video
Let's see: The author of the essay is in political science. Here notice 'science'!

Now, I have to wonder: (1) In political polling, could he give a solid definition of a simple random sample? Could he suggest how to select one? Could he explain just why we often want a simple random sample? (2) Could he explain why in political polling we average to estimate a population proportion? That is, the average is a statistical estimator. Just why is it the estimator we want? (3) If he is to estimate variance, does he know which of the two common algebraic expressions is biased and which is unbiased? Can he define a biased estimator? (4) A common topic in political science is principal components analysis, and key there is orthogonality in vector spaces. Can he suggestion how to give a solid description of that topic without algebra? (5) Political science likes to construct quantitative measures, and there two important issues are 'reliability' and 'validity'. Can he give solid discussions of these two issues without algebra? (6) Political polling reports results with an 'margin of error'. Could he define that? The usual calculation is based on the central limit theorem; could he describe that? (7) One of the more important research tools in political science is statistical hypothesis testing, especially nonparametrics. There the core concepts are Type I error, Type II error, power of a test, and a most powerful test. How can he describe this material without algebra?

Uh, a first course in algorithms commonly described heap sort and points out that its execution time, on sorting n items, is O( n log(n) ) in both worst case and average case and, thus, is best possible in that it meets the Gleason bound. Without algebra, how is a student to understand the significance of that material?

The world is moving on to more in automation. The main approach here is computing where we describe what we want and how to get it in terms that are essentially mathematical -- e.g., stiffness of arbitrary space frames, finite element analysis in solid mechanics, Reynolds number in fluid flow, sines, cosines, and exponentials in A/C circuit analysis with passive components, force, torque, energy, power, and momentum in mechanical engineering, etc. All these subjects commonly assume first and second year algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, analytic geometry, calculus, and ordinary differential equations.

For political science, we should include linear algebra and multivariate statistics.

That author wants less algebra but more statistics? That's like saying he wants to lose weight but eat more!

Yes, to too great an extent, public K-12 is more about babysitting, i.e., keeping the kids off the streets, than about education. Moreover, really, math is too difficult for essentially all of the US K-12 educational community.
String together the 4 octets of the IP addy as if they were one binary number.

Or for the procedurally-minded: take the first number of the dotted-quad times 256^3 plus second times 256^2 etc etc etc.
I really look forward to the day when we can rely more on implicit data from users for this kind of automation. I think it will start with purpose built devices (eg Wakemate), but then evolve into more sophisticated platform type devices ready for anyone's code.
You will need much more than the HTML for the pages to be usable.
If someone tries to drunkenly lick my tattoo, I'm not just going to call the cops on them. But I will probably use some lesser method of coercion to get them to stop.
So Facebook is more or less like a Casino: its fun to play, you are welcome to come and bring your friends along, have fun, win some, lose some and then go home. And don't forget to come back. But if you are bringing your genius gambling skills, plan on making money here, and you keep on winning one after another, you will be kindly asked to leave, or removed with force.

At the end of the day, its nothing new. Its a bit of a ponzi scheme where a company offers something (in case of Facebook or Twitter: an access to their dataset) under a false promise of achieving fame and/or fortune if you built something fun and cool and attract large audience. So you are welcome to try while we keep on building our company on this "don't be evil, connect people" promise. But rest assured if somehow someway you come close to making it a reality and bump on our radar, we will gladly shut you down this or another way.

And I'm having hard time blaming Facebook here. Perhaps that would be weird before IPO and an audience of stockholders watching their every move, but especially now where there is a crack in the boat and it runs 40% underwater, all eyes are on captain's hands. He needs to be as fierce and violent in his moves as possible and if someone even remotely comes close to eating up even little bit of his advertising cheddar, he/she will be torpedoed down.
I agree JS is making progress and could be used on the back-end with things like NodeJS, Meteor, Firebase - mind blowing!
Even if you ignore the multitude of problems raised by funneling all email through one company this suggestion is dead on arrival. Can you imagine mailing lists via a twitter like platform, e.g. debian-devel or lkml? I do not think debian or kernel development would be what it is today if twitter was the communication medium of choice. Vulnerabilty submissions to @microsoft-security?

I am surprised that this idea made it to the front page of HN.
Ok so..

1) The reason for having @ in email addresses is to prevent collisions and identify stuff like who you work for. Between billg@microsoft.com and billg@gmail.com you know which one is the real Bill. Once you give everyone on the planet who uses email a twitter account the name collisions will be horrendous.

2) You're giving twitter a monopoly on the most ubiquitous communication method on the internet. What happens if they delete your account and ban you? What happens if they put something too evil for you in their TOS? You just cut yourself off from communication?

3) .. I could go on

All the liaising in the world is not going to help you when all the developers who use your platform think that you're an asshole, or you're too busy managing your ad portfolio to pay attention to them.
Having been in a very familiar situation as the OP (worked as a junior software engineer for a startup during Junior and Senior years of high school) and also sharing the same situation that she has now (interning while in college), my advice after reflecting on my own experiences would be: slow down.

I absolutely loved my work experience during HS and it has helped my professional life in countless ways; but it is important to ask yourself, "what is the rush?". The summer after your senior year is for many the last time you will be able to spend quality, carefree time with the close friends you've had since kindergarten (or elementary or middle school, etc). Enjoy those opportunities while you can! As the OP said, it's much easier to get an internship once you're in college. If you have the right combination of circumstances and skills to get an internship during high school, you certainly will the following year, too :).
I agree completely with the first part. The tablets, not so much. Perhaps they will just be using more apps like imgfave. I don't think the issue is tools or needing things like Khan Academy or anything like that. I think it is a combination of the cultural view of education, the educational, social, and economic status of those teaching, and, perhaps most importantly, parental engagement.

There are a lot of cultural issues at play here. Children aren't born afraid of math. It's not a coincidence that hundreds of years ago educated people tended to be polymaths (if not experts in many fields).

Are we likely to fix all these issues anytime soon? I fear probably not. But we don't have to go backwards.
Why would you store devices like that? Doing that puts a lot of pressure on the bottom one.
Nope. But self driving vans can do things humans can't. For example they can wait in a neighbourhood until an order comes in so they don't need to drive back to base. Or care that the wait is 3 hours. Or that they are working at 3am. Heck they don't ever even need to return to base, instead just making small efficient local journeys (and using electricity instead of petrol).

Remember that anyone locally would also need to spend a similar order of magnitude in fuel (and likely more) if they went to get things themselves.
I agree with pwny - the little research there is on sex differences in IQ shows a VERY marginal difference, like the second link from above (http://www.iqcomparisonsite.com/SexDifferences.aspx) says:

>It finds that females have a 101.41 mean IQ with a 13.55 standard deviation versus males that have a 103.08 mean IQ with a 14.54 standard deviation

A difference of 2 IQ-points is marginal anyway, but both populations (in this study) have different standard deviations (so the measurements spread out differently), which makes them harder to compare. In the end I'd say, the difference (in this study) is minimal and can be neglected.
Edit: I also think that just by repeating the same study with exactly the same participants, the difference will be smaller, non-existant, or women will have a higher IQ. I once did (caution: anecdotal evidence) five IQ-tests on five following days and the results were off by +/- 5 points, just because I was more tired/more awake on the different days.

All in all I'm disappointed by the level of discussion in this whole thread, way to show the world that software-people have no clue of gender-differences.
Economic value is nothing more than what someone will pay. It is meaningless to say that if people will only pay $3 then there's no way anyone should pay $10.

On slave-owning plantations, the owners were paying $0/hr in wages, but that didn't mean that there was no way slaves can or should be paid more than $0/hr.
Every launch needs a count-down. Right?
Networks effects suggest the market will coalesce around a single free provider of classified listings. If (when?) Craigslist goes down - it will be fast, and very, very destructive. One moment they have 99+% of the Bay Area rentals, a month or two later they'll have close to 0%.

And never lying perpetuates the wage-slave culture of blind loyalty to our corporate overlords that only see people as interchangeable cogs.

Or maybe it's not black and white hyperbole and the real world is a messy place that requires more than unrealistic guidelines like "never lie."
Rather off-topic, but why is the module's name "Queue" and not "queue"? That kind of things just rubs me the wrong way.

Any NYC Hacking Programs
Hi there! Anyone know where I can apply to free and affordable, on-site (NOT online; my attention span online is verryyyyy low) web development courses or programs in the NYC area? I hope to apply to Hacker School this month. Any similar programs like that? Thanks.

Exactly, I know a Columbia law grad who works in NYC. His firm hires nothing but Harvard, Columbia, and Yale grads.

He said that it's not because a Berkeley or Texas grad isn't just as good it's because they have a certain culture and in case one of the new hires messes up a case no one wants to be the partner who gave that "public school kid" a chance and lost the firm a lot of money and prestige.

Exactly, many of these students are doing very poorly in their other subjects (not all obviously, but we don't destroy the educational system over outliers) but are just being passed along. High school algebra is pretty basic, OK. I think we all know that if we are honest. In some ways, it's just too simplistic, many other nations would agree wholeheartedly. Students that are failing these classes, I think, for the most part, have other things going on, perhaps other educational deficiencies, problems at home (even if it is just a bad study atmosphere), unable to prioritize, caving into other pressures of just giving up, etc.

Parents have to be engaged in education. It's much harder without that. I suspect without parental engagement, those that succeed are really motivated self-starters and autodidacts, outliers.
It's not that it is missing the Secure Element. Simply that Google does not have access to the Master Keys for that Secure Element.
Well sure, but that's an argument for fixing the infrastructure!

I'm not so sure... Most things in the world don't require as much security as information infrastructure. For some reason there is a cultural understanding that attacking it is OK.
You should do a better job reading the comments you reply to. His "language" mirrored the words he said he was harassed with, just as your response mirrored the dismissive attitude behind that harassment.
