Does XMPP allow you to follow a person and see all their public messages as they're posted? Does it allow you to see historic posts for a user? Can you search the network for all messages with a given tag, and get a live stream of updates? Can you see trending tags?
one example for how far our people can go with corruption., few days back the officials came to our village to issue these cards., they issued two cards for each (one for one hand, five finger prints are needed for one card) to claim the commission from government.
If you read Dune from Frank Herbert, you might recall Paul observing his father's soldiers doing their jobs in silence due to Leto (the father) giving little to no orders to them.

"If you command something once, you'll have to command it again all the time." (Paraphrased as I didn't read the English version.)

Apparently, Derek "uncommanded his soldiers."

This is pretty awesome.

I know it's unrelated, but something that would be REALLY awesome is something like this that worked for water usage.

I manage several properties and a running toilet left unfixed for a few weeks can easily rack up $500, $1000, or more in costs.

If I could put a device on my water meters for each property which would alert me immediately when the usage increased by a certain amount, that would ABSOLUTELY be worth paying for - especially as the price of water has gone up so much.

(I read an article about 6 months ago about some communities in the southern U.S. where the residents are literally being priced out of being able to afford running water.)

PLEASE consider working on this. Right now, the only way a landlord will know about a leaking faucet or toilet is 1) if the tenant lets her/him know (fat chance, it's nothing urgent to them, if they even notice it, or 2) after they water bill has skyrocketed in a month - and then it's way too late :(

thank you,
Anthony
This isn't just filling in your TPS reports. This is a manager completely failing at his job, making him fail his employees, and showing the failing of his manager.

I agree with the rest of what you're saying, but I think you're greatly understating the problem.
It is ironic that the "drill baby drill" attitudes of conservatives led to fracking, thus cheap natural gas displacing coal, which drastically lowered greenhouse gas emissions.
Wouldn't you always have to be connected, that way?
How much plutonium would you be willing to inhale?
I'd thought about elaborating to head off this comment.

This is true when credit first arrives on the scene. People looking for loans are thinking in terms of paying the money back, and the benefit they'll have from temporary use of the money. Over time, this extra money drives prices up (especially with collateralized loans), and causes credit to be increasingly necessary to even afford the items in question. People then think in terms of economic rent, with little intention of paying back the principle. (See: US housing market).

It's still true that in every instance, one ultimately chooses to borrow the money. It's just that it becomes impossible to lead a 'normal life' without doing so.
I can understand the liberty v/s security implications, but I don't understand when people in the US feel they are better off in terms of liberty.

This is essentially SSN implemented in the 21st century. And you can't get a job, buy/rent a house, or get a bank account without an SSN

The fact that you can be anonymous in the U.S. and still live a life inside of regular society is a complete myth. And I think most people accept the fact that the SSN is in fact necessary.

India does not have any such system, instead of the SSN, they have ten different numbers attached to a person. All this does is make the ID part of it uniform.

The biometric part is not the focus here, the ID part is, which pretty much every developed country already has. The biometric part is just a means to get the ID part done better.

Just to reiterate, I understand the liberty v/s security implications, but americans have already given theirs up for security, so maybe that's just the price to pay of being a developed nation.
There's also "Steve, you need to spend some time and diagnose how this happened. How did you not notice? Why wasn't it Tim's number one priority? How do we fix this situation, check that it isn't happening in the rest of the organization, and make sure it doesn't happen again?"
It's definitely not my connection hiccuping - I only get the error whenever the game tries to do something with my friends, and I assume it's not a coincidence that my privacy settings prevent it from doing so.
I think the underlying problem is people are hardwired to try and exert dominance. Evolutionarily it makes sense that there is desire for exerting dominance, and even in modern society the 'higher up' the ladder you are, generally, the better your life is.

Unfortunately in modern society most traditional methods of ‘exerting dominance’ are generally frowned upon/not conducive to civilized co-existence. So people have redirected this basic drive into dominance in business, and then they use writings by ancient strategists to justify what is basically anti-social behavior. I think applying either Machiavelli or Sun-Tzu’s writings today in totality would make you a pretty horrific person by the standards of modern civilization.

Machiavelli/Sun Tzu wrote reasonable treatises on monarchial rule and actual war (business != war, as much as some macho 'business warriors' want to pretend), but the overbroad application/translation into business practices is questionable at best.

The problem is that the people most likely to try and justify actions based on their teachings are the ones that are also least likely to understand the context in which they wrote and the non-applicability of their lessons to business in this day and age.
"A rare look inside" seemed odd to me, but I decided to repost the original title verbatim. If pg wants to edit it, he is welcome to!
Radiation and contamination are different, you can't just compare dosage levels in different scenarios.

If you wore a mask and suit all the time living next to Fukushima, it would not change how much radiation you get because plastic suits don't block radiation. But you would be vastly more healthy because you would avoid the contamination.

Essentially if you inhale radioactive particles they stay inside you and continue to radiate, and the substances themselves are often very toxic. This is the main concern.
Those are emissions, not levels;

they are from burning coal only, not all U.S. emissions;

read more carefully in the future.
Hey guys!

Thank you guys so much for the support and tips. I tried to follow what I heard from you guys and made a new blog about my tech and programming, not so much about me being in high school and being a teenager trying to work with adults.

So check out my latest post! Tell me what you guys think: http://shsceo.com/2012/08/18/starting-my-first-programming-p...
"How can one commercial company be allowed to own a protocol such as http or email?"

Twitter's "protocol" is not a protocol but an API that runs on top of HTTP and they created it. The ONLY responsibility Twitter has as a corporation is to do whatever it takes to make the largest profit. If it failed at this, it would actually be in violation of the law as that is the purpose of a corporation.

The world isn't entitled to anything Twitter builds.
XMPP is extensible, so the answer could be 'yes'.

However, the actual answers are

4. Yes

Instead of having central aggregation, the free market would drive sites aggregating users messages to improve their features. You could sign up by just adding the site to your list.

Of course, it would require some work and a draft standard. I'm not saying it's perfect. Apparently identi.ca has a federation system too.
Good to know they're still there - too bad they haven't expanded much though.
There isn't a coherent course. The closest I have found to a coherent set of ideas is http://www.amazon.com/Practice-System-Network-Administration...

There's a rather large number of books you would have to pick up, if you wanted to go that way.

What follows is a set of guidelines, not rules.
You want to know at least one scripting language (Perl, Python, Ruby), the Unix shell, and SQL. On the Windows side, you need to know Powershell, or equivalent scripting language.

You also need to grok logging, operating systems, and hardware to some level. (At least to be able to know when to make tradeoffs between space and access speed).

Knowing various models of IPC is useful (processes, threads, evented models).

You need to know networking (configuring a Cisco or Junpier device is a good, but not required skill). Knowing the fundamentals of routing, BGP, OSPF, IP, TCP, UDP, etc are essential.

Amongst common technologies, you need to know DNS, email, webservers, proxies, file storage and access.

Since you mentioned Quora, here's my answer to a similar question from there:

If you include trustable, the system and its parent company/organization could not reside in the US.
Oh I'm not referring to the HN title but the article title. The HN title generally should be the article title.

(I wouldn't say it's absolutely clear that the original title is linkbait either although it could be depending on the circumstances).

A long time ago in a galaxy far away I was in a first year of university. I soon discovered some library computers were connected with something called Gopher. Soon I was visiting the library not for the books or magazines but for traversing gopher links. Only one other person did the same for hours sometimes until closing time. When I asked this older guy what he was looking up on Gopher he mentioned he was on a mailing-l discussing Buckminster Fuller, Synergetics and an in my view weird but fascinating mathematical philosophical system. Now much older and much more acquinted with philosophy, science, alternative (dymaxion) sleeping patterns and spirituality I still wonder on occasion what this guy's pythagoraeic fascination entailed exactly. Can anyone of my fellow hackers explain more?

Their ethics put harm to animals on the same scale as harm to people, and so they regard the rest of us as complacently witnessing something like mass murder. Just because we entirely disagree doesn't make them crazy, though their ideas make it hard to coëxist with us.
I've subscribed to the feed, curious how it will develop.

I believe there are two things that could be improved. First, spelling and grammar. I know it's superficial, but as a reader I always get the feeling an author doesn't value my time when they don't proof read their stuff.

The other thing that bothered me is the usage of cultural references, in this case Star Trek. It's a little patronizing to the reader and it's also superfluous to describe the renderer in this way. Just tell us what it does. You might even be better off leaving out certain specifics in science fiction, your stories will have a much longer shelf life that way.

That being said: keep on writing!
There is not even a molecule of irony. They were saying to drill because energy is prosperity and coal is dirty.

My thoughts exactly. In fact, watching the presentation gave me the impressions that the touch ui was actually slightly awkward to work with, compared to using a mouse.

That's not a problem, as the application it self is quite interesting. So I think they should focus on that and then let the ui be secondary. When using it on a tablet, touch-ui is used, when on a laptop/desktop machine, the mouse/keyboard ui is used.
...but I really think that if meat allergies, carbon emissions and fukushima are in the main page, then a pivotal, defining moment in USA foreign policy history should be allowed to be there too: the USA have just declared that they, as a general policy, do not recognize the political asylum figure. Not just in this case, but in general. That is pretty big in international affaires, and also an unexpected turn of events in the most important public information leak ever. Pretty important I thought, but the story seems to have been flagged yet again. Oh well, at least I know why you are flagging it, so Thanks for the heads up.
Wow, position 688. You guys really love to smash to invisibility what you don't want others to read, uh?
Sorry, it's part of the looping section. I should have clarified
The "ration card" is another, nearly universal, identifying document in India which serves another purpose: this card is mandatory if its owner wants to get grocery at affordable (I hope!) rates from the government's Public Distribution System.

Village loan sharks love to take this card as security for their cut-throat loans to the poor, because they know that its owner will try their level best to not jeopardize their access to this card: no card means the kids starve. Since the ration card is issued by the government, it is (well neigh) impossible for their clients to get a duplicate issued, as well.

This new thing will probably end up as one more piece of paper/plastic for the poor to spend their life redeeming from the shylocks.
Oh hahah I forgot I had used it so much
I despise junk mail and last night I decided to surrender to my emotions. I built an emotional app that retaliates against junk mail. It is a usable experiment in appealing to people's emotions and using an API for real world interaction.

Introducting F Junk Mail! - http://fjunkmail.com/. It sends real world postcards to junk mail senders. Currently, it has Charter listed. More companies/addresses are on the way, but you can also enter your own address in.
This is just normal weather cycles at work. A few years earlier the winters were cold and the summers mild.
Another solution for this is a wiki instead of a Google doc. I've seen it work well. But the important part is to make it easy to use, easy to search, and easy to update. Then just make sure as many questions as possible are answerable by the wiki. About to type an email with an answer? It better have the link to the wiki in it.
The conclusion of the WSJ was: "The great tragedy of the Fukushima accident is that Japan shut down all its nuclear reactors. Even though officials have now turned two back on, the hardships and economic disruptions induced by this policy will be enormous and will dwarf any danger from the reactors themselves."

The conclusion of The Corbett Report was: "Along with the tragic loss of life, the destruction of homes, farms, businesses and property, and the beginning of the Fukushima nuclear crisis, the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami exposed the biggest secret of all: that the myth of the necessity of nuclear power in Japan is just that. A myth."

I'm not a global warming alarmist, but where does that state that global warming is the cause for less energy use?
There is a fine balance to be achieved here. If you've read more of Derek's (excellent) posts, you'll know that his complete hands-off style led to the company almost collapsing. Delegating like this is a great step, but a leader's responsibility is to lead, not hide away.
As others have pointed out, the graphs you saw were emissions, not levels.

For actual atmostpheric CO2 concentrations, look here: http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trends/#mlo_full . The red line is monthly averages from 1958 to today, the black line is seasonally adjusted monthly average, based on the nearest 7 years of data.
Why would you agree to that?

This is an incident take place in Facebook, related to a leading Sri Lankan daily deals site named Anything.lk

This thread show's how they acted to the customer complains on facebook and they got screwed.

As one commenter mentioned in the above thread, This materiel could be used to show how care you should take on for your social media strategies.
The point of this article is that you don't want to leave the category stuff aside. A category is essentially a well-defined and systematic way to reason about--and program with--composition. An introduction to programming with categories would, by its very nature, have to be an introduction to programming compositionally.

Moreover, I think a introduction using terms and ideas from category theory would be more useful, more thorough and more enlightening than an introduction to "compositional programming" without any math. It provides a nice structure and enables you to consider composition more abstractly, which lets you use compositional programming in more places.
> most importantly I learned that I’ll never take “No” for an answer again.

There are two types of challenges in life: the first ones are generic and depend mainly on you, such as (1) double the revenue in the next 6 months, or (2) double the team size. Even if one of your staff quits or the market dips, as long as you're passionate about, have a plan that is doable and work hard enough to get there, it can be done.

The other type of challenges are the ones about specific people or entities. Impressing girl X strong enough to kiss you, making Y lend you money or convincing Z to fund you. It's a wrong lesson to learn not to accept NO for an answer in these kind of situations, mainly because it's not something depending mainly on your ambition and productivity but rather on the subjective freedom of a specific person to act with respect to you. By refusing to take "No" for an answer in those cases you can easily end up being depressed or a jerk in the long run.
I'm not sure, that past activities of founders (or employees) are relevant to risk estimation.

It should be just financial/lost opportunity/uncertainty risks that go into the equation. A particular founder or employee is _going_ to take some risk by joining/or staying with the company.
I’d be worried someone would steal my stuff while all my senses were so completely incapacitated.
The main storage is 2GB. Each camera has 8GB of storage. There is no way in hell this was solely because of space constraints.
I'm not sure what you mean. My point was that challenging him to move to Fukushima doesn't show his hypocrisy or anything. He has very good reasons not to move to Fukushima that have nothing to do with the threat of radiation.
I've heard so much good about E-Myth Revisited but I'm not fully convinced that it's any different from all the other biz management literature I've read. Would love to hear what your major take aways are.

I'm surprised that there was no mention of gluten sensitivity and/or gut permeability as possible causes of chronic inflammation. While mainstream medicine is still not sold on the idea, I think the widespread anecdotal evidence merits further study and data-gathering. In my own case, I stopped having chronically inflamed gums when I gave up grains.
As a Frenchman, I also can't see how you can call the UK "atheist" :p

BUT, I do think the number of religious extremists is lower. (I haven't lived in the UK though).

It's like when I hear people here (I live in the Netherlands) that they are not a religious country. The fact that they have several political parties with Christian root (and still being actively referring to them) among other things tell me otherwise ...

Its nice that these types of stories put a face on the fabled "determination" trait that YC always say they select for [1].

Good timing on the story too, right before demo day... :-)

[1] http://paulgraham.com/founders.html
I've talked with a lot of startups who got in YC in the past several years, and none of them got a call or an interview without having connection inside or using some kind of a hack.

Still, it's sadden me a little bit. You send the best possible application you can create, you're refused. You contact the YC team, you're refused. You send beer to one of them, oh you get the chance to have an interview.

If they liked the idea so much to admit Instacart so late with a single founder, it's hard to believe they're doing a great job at screening the applications.

IMO, every (no-spam) applications should at least have a 2 minutes skype call with one of the YC members. I know it takes time but it's in their interest.
The word "temporary" is also quite important in that quote, and often omitted.
I should've said "time served, or less". Forgive my egregious error.

The Chernobyl reactor also had no containment vessel, so the initial core failure blew a cloud of radioactive fire into the air. The Fukushima containment vessel kept most of the crap in one place until it could melt into a cohesive mass.

How do you determine what position a story is in?

I will say the mysteriousness of the front page algorithm, the seeming difficulty in getting an interesting story up there, adds to the concerns discussed yesterday about HN being a not so friendly place anymore.

Especially if mystery flags without explanation can sink a story to negative infinity.

In addition, of all the HN stories that showed up in Google Reader this morning, this was the one that seemed most interesting and that I had not seen anywhere else.
The irony is that policies promoted by people who don't care about CO2 emissions and dimiss climate change have led to a significant decrease in CO2 emissions as an unintended consequence.
