It's not even treating that as an integer. If you enter 999999999999999934463, it spits back 999999999999999900000. Above 999999999999999934463 it apparently rounds up, and goes into scientific notation mode.
The site had seemed slow basically all day for me, from say about 8:30-9am central time (I'd been up and checking the site since 6) up to the point when it crashed.

I agree with your point but I don't know if theoretical linguistics is really such an absurd degree to show programming aptitude. It's quite an analytical subject and the structures of natural languages do have some parallels with the structures of programming languages, plus of course natural language processing is a big area of computational research.

When I was choosing a degree I often heard that people with Classics degrees found it easy to get recruited as programmers. I have no idea how true that is but my former boss took that route. I dropped out of my CS degree and often wish I'd studied something language-related instead.

(I didn't really know what CS was before I started studying it - what I really wanted was to learn to take my programming to the next level of turning little 100-line programs into real projects, which I know now is almost unrelated to theoretical CS and really just needed a little more reading and a lot more practice. This was in the days before StackExchange and Github, or I might have worked it out in time to save myself from being yet another CS dropout.)
Thanks for the link, will give a spin
yeah this,

if your not getting credit, what does the name brand mean?

some people may get a kick out of taking a 'Stanford' class (myself included, I took the original AI class)

those people will get discouraged quick if they go through the whole class and don't have a good outlet for that knowledge

I see two potential outlets, 1 something to put on your resume that will get you a job,

or 2, specific knowledge that will let you complete cool, even marketable project independent of a resume line

1 is a tricky proposition for these classes, until if figures that out, whoever figures 2 out will be the winner

I went all the way through the AI class, even got over 90%, I felt like I understood a decent amount of theory, still a ways from actually being able to go out and complete a project on my own
I find it helps when there are loud conversations going on. I am normally more inclined to listen to the conversations than focus on my work. Other than that, it can be distracting.

The bigger story is that this all done painlessly through the Mac App Store.

Microsoft really should have been doing this a decade ago.
Is it actually necessary to weed out bot-clicks? If all sites have equal amounts of bot-clicks, then you can just charge 80% less per click (compared to the situation where all clicks would be human). Perhaps in practice the bot percentage changes widely per-site, so it's still important to have statistics on bot-clicks.

"My company is a small start-up, and we're looking actually to hire someone who is skilled, so the reason I came is to talk to Andrew and the people and see if they could recommend someone in the class," said an executive who asked not to be named. "People could be very good already and they just need that certificate or they can put on their résumé that they finished the class," she added. "I don't want someone who doesn't have any experience, but I believe there are people who just do it on the side maybe it took them 15 minutes a week, and now they can claim that certificate."

facepalm, pretty sure no one completes any of these classes in 15 minutes a week
Interesting take - I've read that their fans are unpleased with this trend. Also - I'm wondering if Sun Yang who got had a Dr. DRE headphone received money to endorse this product.

Ask HN: HN, are you blocking users from TOR?
When browsing HN using Tor I often get some kind of Proxy Error. Is this a bug (i.e. auto-banning IP addresses which generate too much traffic) or HN does this intentionally? If the latter is the case, I think you should reevaluate the decision and it's causes with us, HN users. Thank you.

You have to look at thing in comparison. We are made to convince that we are the best, well that is hardly the case. Compare this with any western metropolitan and you will see how ancient we are in terms of energy infrastructure.

The problem really is corruption, bureaucracy and license raj in awarding contracts and purchasing equipments. And this is not just the major/big equipment. Electric wires used to supply power are so feeble, they snap if it rains a little heavily.

>>Plus the Engineers in BHEL and the like are pretty smart chaps, sure they may be slow but they are far from being daft. (Again! My experience, and mileage will vary)

This is precisely the thinking we need to change. 'Lets give it to our people' ideology. This needs to change. We need to accept that if somebody is better than us, then they are better than us. Besides most modern electric contracts these days are rightfully going to companies like ABB and Siemens(Eg: Bangalore Metro). And they have done an awesome job, far better than BHEL can ever do.

What we need currently is privatization with regulations and accountability.

Just look at how private real estate developer are transforming Bangalore. Government agencies like BDA(Bangalore development authority) will never and can never do that.

We need to bring that in every walk of life so that merit based competition thrives and corruption/nepotism is weeded out.

Depends how he plays it. The author of CryptoCat and also Jacob Applebaum (who works on TOR) have been outspoken in the media about their gear and its intent (and in Nadim Kobeissi's case, he's not an American citizen).

I'm betting that Tony could get away with keeping things on the downlow and not getting harassed too badly. But this is an empirical question. We shall see.
Just as another anecdata point, I'm in the 'people really do that.' group.

When I'm researching something to buy, I will usually do searches on google for broad scope brands/products, then move to Amazon as my first option for purchase, provided the item is available there and within a few % of the lowest online price I've seen elsewhere.

My research may include reading blogs/forums, and possible asking questions there. If its not something too esoteric, I might ask my FB friends for an opinion or suggestion.

At no point in my normal buying processes does FB ads, or 'Likes' play any role.

My wife follows roughly the same pattern, but may be partially influenced by my approach, though I will say her methods differ slightly enough that they are her own.

Nielsen Sued for Billions Over Allegedly Manipulated TV Ratings
HR definitely have too much say in IT hiring in many places - I suspect many CVs go in the bin for not matching the exact acronym or buzzword on HR's list, when any technical person would see extensive experience of the same or highly related technologies just listed under different names.

I am a little biased as another dropout but many technical job adverts here in the UK not only specify a degree but that it must be at least a 2:1 from (whatever HR/the manager thinks is) a "respected university"!

5 years ago I applied for a technical support job at an extremely low salary (I was relocating and applying for anything I saw) and got a phone call saying they'd got my CV but needed to know if I had a degree. I'm sure finishing my degree in formal derivations of algorithms would have been highly useful for a job crawling under desks looking to see if any cables had fallen out. Luckily in the month it took them to phone me and ask I'd found a much better job.
If you take a look at the UBS quarterly report, you can read the specifics of their claim (quoted below and available in full on the UBS website). Essentially, the bank asserts that NASDAQ initiated buy requests multiple times. Had Facebook stock sky-rocketed, as anticipated, I wonder if we would have ever heard a word of this?

"Due to multiple operational failures by NASDAQ, UBS’s pre-market orders were not confirmed for several hours after the stock had commenced trading. As a result of system protocols that we had designed to ensure our clients' orders were filled consistent with regulatory guidelines and our own standards, orders were entered multiple times before the necessary confirmations from NASDAQ were received and our systems were able to process them. NASDAQ ultimately filled all of these orders, exposing UBS to far more shares than our clients had ordered. UBS's loss resulted from NASDAQ's multiple failures to carry out its obligations, including both opening the Facebook stock for trading and not halting trading in the stock during the day. We will take
appropriate legal action against NASDAQ to address its gross mishandling of the offering and its substantial failures to perform its duties."
However, in a direct peer-to-peer exchange the Cryptosphere does nothing to mask the transactions a particular is performing, as opposed to systems like Freenet and Tor which make an effort to obscure which host you're actually talking to by routing them through a chain of proxies. In this regard the anonymity guarantees of the Cryptosphere are no different from a system like BitTorrent, aside from the plausible deniability defense that comes from the fact all content is encrpyted and peers automatically provide storage service to other peers.

Instead, the Cryptosphere favors system robustness over guarantees on anonymity. Participants in the system maintain a history of their activities in the form of a long-chain certificate. You can think of this being somewhat like the BitCoin block chain, where the longest version always wins, and its integrity can be cryptographically verified. Every peer maintains its own long chain certificate of all its activities, including services requested and services completed.

Rather than verifying the integrity of a long chain based on hashes, the Cryptosphere uses public key cryptography. Peers requesting services sign off on both the request and delivery of a service (e.g. storing and serving a particular chunk of a file). While in isolation the data points contained within a particular long chain certificate are meaningless, peers can collect several of these certificates and build a database of other peers in the system, using tools like collaborative filtering to make intelligent decisions about which other peers are worth interacting with.

This is interesting. If i understand correctly, this means that given a transfer that you'd like to engage in, searching for a particular file you can trace back the provenance of that file through a network of peers who are making it available (if their transfer histories are accessible).

you get "something" stored on your device. You don't know if it's a students English paper, home made pornography, nuclear launch codes... or CP. You just get a block of bytes that sits on your drive, and maybe, somebody somewhere has the key to unlock it.

Until that happens, you don't know, you don't need to know, and you can't know, that's the whole point.
Talking of power theft. Slums steal massive amounts of power without paying a rupee.

plusfm helps me get "into the zone"

Some of these businesses -- particularly the latter category (Kraft, Kroger, Walmart, General Mills, P&G, etc.) -- are "systems" businesses, and not necessarily "people" businesses.

P&G runs like a machine because it is a machine. It's a relentlessly optimized, error-reduced, tolerance-tightened machine. Jobs at P&G fit into very clearly defined (almost proscribed) roles, and if you hold one of these jobs, your mission is to execute that role without deviation. The company hires very smart people -- but it's more concerned with people who can fit frictionlessly into the machine than with people who want to break the mold. Same thing with Walmart, or McDonald's, or General Mills, or Coca Cola, etc. The general philosophy is to design an internal playbook that is foolproof, then hire people who are sharp enough not to mess it up.

[At this point I will pause to note that the description "systems business" is not intended to be a pejorative. Tightly controlled systems are not necessarily correlated with failure to innovate, to design, or to grow. P&G is capable of innovation, for instance, but it has playbooks for how to innovate. It follows recipes for innovation, rather than relying on the hiring of wildly creative people who will swing for the fences and hit or miss.]

Contrast these firms with what I'd call "people" businesses -- typically, tech startups or creative fields. Many of these companies are high-variance systems. A visionary founder, or visionary product leads, can propel a "people" company forward like a bat out of hell. But a lackluster CEO, or dimwitted product leads, can dash the company's fortunes on the rocks. These businesses give their people a lot of freedom to operate, to pursue whims, and to think outside the box. I would put Google in this category, or at least the Google of recent memory. Same thing with Disney, or Warner Brothers, or Virgin. These companies are in the homerun business. They swing for the fences, and at any given at-bat, they either they smash it out of the park or strike out. More often than not, they tend to strike out -- but the grand slams often make up for the multiple strike-outs.

Apple is interesting, in that it's neither fully one, nor the other. With Steve Jobs at the helm, Apple was certainly dependent on one person -- so it had the characteristics of a "people" company. At the same time, Apple was actively engaged in systematizing its roles and procedures, especially in the latter years of Jobs's life. Jobs even made occasional reference to the P&G model. It was as if he knew that the longevity of the company depended on the ability to implement foolproof, flawless internal systems that any smart people could operate without failure. The problem is that he still left a critical hole at the top, and he never took the systematizing exercise to its natural conclusion.

This is the reason that there is no public Tahoe-LAFS network also. To run a node on a network like this you need to be brave, much braver than even operating a Tor exit node.

The addition of the long chain activity log may perhaps add some disincentive to upload CP in the first place but getting the economics of that (e.g. ease of getting upload privileges) right sounds like a difficult balance though.
