Then why don't they just charge the card before they ship... and if that fails then they send you an email saying so, amend your details within 48 hours or it ships to the next person in line.

Not exactly difficult.
This is the first time, in the history of the internet, I've seen a cheaper price for something available in Ireland after having been launched elsewhere.

I was fully expecting a pricetag of 20e for premium.
Foxconn Replaces Human Workers with 1 Million Robots
Whenever you're talking about vanilla options, _always_ mention the exercise type - European or American (or Bermudan/whatever). Single-name stocks like Facebook, Google have exchange-traded options which are American. Index-options such as those on the S&P500 are usually European.

Also, it's a good intro for buy-and-sit strategies but rarely does anyone sit on options till expiry. They try to make some gamma-based profits (delta-hedged option) or some vol-based profits (strangle/straddle etc).
Instead, we should be investigating why the students are doing poorly, and at least attempting to fix the root causes.

Unless those root causes are strongly correlated with skin color, apparently.
I noticed the same thing in college. For me the issue is getting started. Sometimes, I have a mentality of "I don't have time to do this justice so I'll put it off," not wanting to start working imperfectly. A couple of drinks and getting started is a breeze. Then, inertia can carry me from there.

It makes me less worried about what my initial quality/starting point and less overwhelmed about the scope or how much is left to do. Also, I get less distracted by external going on's in my life. I remember reading something about it slowing down your multitasking (background processes thinking about other things) so you focus at the task at hand. Wonder if I can find that article again.
Awful idea! You claim to be perfectly rational, however, that is not the case. Would it be perfectly rational for me to forgo my 401k to finance your startup? No, it would not. Irrationality and partiality are one in the same. Do not be biased toward your idea because you might fail -- i.e. "eggs in one basket." Right now your retirement money might not seem sacred, but later on in life...
Facebook's biggest lockup expiration: 800 million shares set to flood market
Assuming five races: Given that there are more than five schools, than using a school's past score performance or socioeconomic status is going to be closer to their individual score than the aggregate for their race.

tl;dr School is finer grained than race because there are more schools than races.
People have suggested that I put the engine behind a web service. I don't personally have strong web skills, but I could learn / find collaborators.

The thing that I'm most interested in is building diff for things which haven't had very good diff before - CAD files, schematics, spreadsheets, etc. For each data format, you need a different set of diff tools.

I've built a grab-bag of diff algorithms for diffing different kinds of data (the Simulink diff in particular is a showcase of the different kinds of data DiffPlug can work with).

My goal is to release this grab-bag so that people can build their own tools on top of it, but I also have several tools in particular that I want to build.
I'd assume you apply the same policy to the fact that the cost/productivity of machinery, process development, software means that for the same input share holders should be getting the value of a similar business of equivalent market share back in the day as well.
If the money is not staying in the business you have a few choices if productivity increases, spread it around, funnel it up, or funnel it down. Since I buy into the idea that extreme wealth inequality negatively impacts society I pick spreading it around.
Well yeah, that's my reasoning as well. I really like the transformer dock but it can be better. When I dock I want to go for some serious work so it doesn't have to be THAT portable (like the transformer). I hope it's successful or that a transformer-like comes with the same resolution.
New to HN, where to start?
Hey everyone, over the last couple of weeks I have been casually browsing the HN forum and have discovered what a massive and excellent community this is. So, I guess I was just wondering if there are any guidelines or things that a newcomer should be aware of? Thanks guys!
Allard WAS Courier. Saying it didn't cause his departure is like saying that the dealer hitting 21 doesn't cause you to go over: arguably true but besides the point. Allard bet big and lost -- a sad loss in my opinion but a losing bet regardless.
It may not be the optimal point on the supply-demand curve, but if supply is limited, then the price is whatever people are willing to pay.

Why wouldn't you want to host your WordPress blog at a Managed WordPress Host like ZippyKid, Web Synthesis or WP Engine?
It's also worth noting that Apple have been refining their power management code/chips for many, many years, so it's likely better than anything Google have come up with in the last couple of years.
So Facebook can't run it's own business? Facebook charging for "reach" is the essence of the free market. They have developed something valuable and now they are going to sell it.

And no, it isn't a straw man. Users suck at moderating and curating. If curating a Facebook presence becomes a great deal of work, users won't do it and will just stop using the service.

Some of the comments above also make the point that "Like" is terrible UX, it doesn't communicate what it should.
Apps posting tweets without consent of the account owner is a violation of the Twitter rules [1]

Get users' permission before sending Tweets or other messages on their behalf. A user authenticating through your application does not constitute consent to send a message.

That's unfair - there are two things to learn here

1. How does the basics and intricacies of crypto work? acabal can hit up coursera for that, and the cryto guys here will probably help him with his homework for free.

2. How do I implement a user authentication mechanism from scratch? well, thats the one where you cannot learn it. dont try it seems to be the advice.

(in fact the simplest advice is on here too - authenticate once, hand over a random number, look it up at the back end.)

I assume that includes Time it out, count it out and then go read about CSRF protection.

Ok, to me, a bellyshirt seems to have two functions: Comfort and/or as a device to appear more attractive, perhaps explicitly so. Attractiveness is understandably important to her (It's not like pregnancy makes you not-human), but to me, a belly shirt at least borders on being a sexual incentive, which is why i feel it is out of place. Comfort could indeed be the answer, and if that is the case, well, alright, my analysis was bullshit. (I would try to keep my baby warm, but I guess it can get pretty hot in Japan)

Pop-psychology...
Absolutely. Options are a tool, like any other. If you hold it wrong, though, the sharp edge can give you a really bad cut.
Had you considered taking a loan out against your 401K? Most of the financial firms managing 401K's offer them. The interest rates are favorable and you don't get hit with all the penalties. I recently faced a similar decision and opted for the 401K loan.
Kingswood? Commodore?

This was my first thought exactly. They went from a name that was difficult for people to spell/pronounce correctly to one that is confusing in the context of the web. I'm not sure which is worse to be honest. After hearing the new name verbally people may either; type in "learn." into Google which I doubt they will be the first result, or be left waiting for the "com" part and still not have the right idea.
I did my postdoctoral research on deep learning, and got into it back when Geoff Hinton's work was just an unpublished tech report.

I think "number of kids who get free school lunch" is the most common measure of economic status. It's rough, but it's something.
Update at 11:30 PST -

Bought the 16GB successsfully. Took 2 mins. I believe the 'Sold Out' news in the morning drove more customers curiously to the Google Play website, thus letting them buy it today even if they wanted to wait. No one wants a supply issue like the iPhone 5. As I thought, Google is way smarter than Apple to be prepared for high volume sales on it's platform.

Well played, Google.
"Knowledge worker" in a study cited from Alternet is probably "programmer at a large soul-sucking corporation." Startup founder is fundamentally different.
Holden, Maine seems to be on the edge of Bangor. If you wanted to keep things similar you could be "From Bangor". Granted that doesn't have quite as nice a ring. You could find another nearby geographic name that has some meaning to you.
I challenge you to find a city near Holden, MA that doesn't sound like a menswear company. Sterling, Millbury, Brookfield, Oxford, Webster, Clinton, Boylston, Northbridge, Holliston, Douglas...
Well, that's not the way the like button works. The like button is the "follow and get updates" button. Like it or not (heh) that's the use of the button, and I believe people get this.
I like the idea of creating lists of learning resources and tracking progress in these lists. I'm a bit confused though: is that actually the main purpose of the site? The About page also mentions learning with friends and sharing results with potential employers. Maybe that could be made clearer on the homepage and the "easily learn any topic" could be removed.

You're right, the UX could use some work. Could you move the "Add resource" below the list of resources? Initially I also didn't realize that there's a difference between "Edit profile" and "Edit account".

When I clicked the "Add resource" button nothing happened (Chrome on OS X Lion).

As an idea, maybe there's a way to suggest the next resource in a list to the user?
I think you are extending your analogy wrong.

A better analogy would be somebody who fills their trunk with their weekly groceries and commutes 60 miles total per day being considered the same as either an F-1 driver or a long haul trucker -- when their use cases for their vehicle are pretty normal.
I'm interested in this particular thing:

Twitter handle was registered, but had never tweeted and looked abandoned. I contacted a friend who works at Twitter and after a bit of investigation was able to get @learndot as well

Is this something that's easy to do? Can it be done if you don't know anyone inside Twitter? I had to settle for something like @myappnameapp instead of @myappname because the username was already taken but had never been used. I'd be interested to learn what are the Twitter policies regarding this.

I didn't. It was a complete surprise to me when I realized it. And then I unliked everything.
Corrected, thanks for pointing that out. I heard an anecdote of someone buying a lot of options and not being able to close the position later - I guess it happened in an illiquid market.

Can developers use IEWebGL as a fallback for IE users?
Oh, alright thanks
Perhaps they shouldn't, but we've just gone and replaced their jobs without having solved scarcity - which is the magic pill that needs to be invented for a function society where you can do nothing productive yet still live.

In all practicality this means we need to retrain tens of thousands of people in some other form of repetitive task that hasn't been taken over by a robot. It doesn't mean they get to go off to a Star Trek-ian utopia where they can pursue higher pursuits without having to worry about survival.

In the long run this will probably pan out to be a net positive - these robots can do a job better, more precisely, and less expensively than a human, which will advance the state of the art further.

In the short run this will create unrest, poverty, starvation, and possibly arrest the hard-earned development of a country trying desperately to claw its way out of poverty.
You have stumbled into an old fallacy, the idea that there are a fixed number of jobs. More robots increases productivity for society and creates the excess resources for new and better jobs in other sectors, normally the service sector. This is a huge win.
The show is awesome, if you approach it as a documentary-style sitcom like the Office or Parks and Rec rather than as a reality show.

As a sitcom, the show is pure genious. Especially the last 10 minutes of the second episode, in which the blonde ditz is on a "date" with some nerdy model....

I'm pretty sure selling something you don't actually have isn't allowed on ebay (he's selling a phone he hasn't received, and in all likelyhood wont receive as google could quite easily cancel the other 2 orders as they seem to be a mistake).
"Real time" is commonly assumed to mean that you can't use a garbage collected language or need to be extremely careful doing so because random pauses of 100ms break your constraints.

If you're in a situation where the overhead of a couple of function calls is unacceptable, regexes are totally unacceptable and you need to write custom character manipulation.

This situation is really rare and in almost all business cases, using C is inappropriate.
One nice thing about Windows 8 app development is that they provide a method through WebAuthenticationBroker to have the browser instance hosted in a secure separate process from your app to prevent any shenanigans.
To keep with the theme you've worked with thus far, you might use a name still closely associated with your hometown, such as Holbrook, Mann Hill, etc.

The impact on your company ethos would be relatively small, and there does seem to be a fair number of pleasant names in the geographical area.
I agree with you entirely and unreservedly. The scare quotes in my comment were to poke fun at the idea that a person who holds a set of racist opinions is somehow not a racist.

I do maintain that it is, in some sense, a "reasonable" position for a racist to be more offended by incivility than by racism. Not ideal, or even good, but certainly understandable.
Teaching First Graders to Write Code

It would have been super easy to call them jackasses, ass hats, etc. But, these guys took the high road, linked their site (driving traffic), and even called them rad.

Props to these guys.
You are being a Luddite. People will shift into cushy service sector jobs. Craft beer, massage parlors, landscape architects, mobile game programming, whatever wealthier societies might want more of.

When I look at the button, I see the word "Like", not the words "follow and get updates". Why should anyone assume something else that what is written on the button?

BTW. it's my anecdote vs. your anecdote; I wonder if there are any studies on the topic of how people perceive likes.
I would use more general qualifiers in place of those specific expressions of the problem:

"When comparing two candidates of otherwise approximately equal qualification, apply historical socio-economic advantages/disadvantages as modifiers to get their probable scores in the absence of those modifiers, then re-evaluate accordingly."

Compare it to testing two sets of children, one that was kept up all night and one that got to sleep after studying, and extrapolate writ-large.

In a similar vein, we can't make useful assessments about alcoholism susceptibility in Native American populations without first accounting for all of the historical socio-economic pressures that would likely drive a disproportionate amount of any given population to drink.

I don't see how you could think there would be no confusion. Your Kickstarter page shows you offering t-shirts, polos, and hoodies; various types of garments. Holden Outerwear sells t-shirts and hoodies (though no polos); various types of garments as well.

I'd agree with your conclusion if you were a graphic design company or in any other unrelated industry, but the fact that you're selling garments using the name "Holden" and an existing mark holder sells garments using the name "Holden" seems pretty clear-cut to me.

A quick search yields these active trademarks [edit: hopefully these are permalinks]:

> To me, what people do in "Silicon Valley", they can do anywhere else.

While this is true, you are missing the point of the valley. It's a place where like minded people accumulate. People who think they can change the world by creating the next big think. All these people could all be delusional and totally wrong for all we know, but the point is they all think that way.

It's like a party. Can you just jack up the radio and dance away in the solitude of your room? Sure, you can. But it's better to go to a real discotheque and dance away with others. The chances you meet someone interesting are higher, the chances that your amazing disco steps get noticed are higher etc etc.

Continuing the stupid analogy, in the valley there are these page 3 reporters (techcrunch, cough) reporting all sorts of things. These things make you famous and get you $$. See, how things are different when you are hacking away in your room in cape town? Want more developers? There are tons of people who will code for you. "Passionately". It's all in one place!

Do not underestimate the "energy" of the valley. Having like minded people in one place makes all the difference (just like anything else).
One party made a mistake. The other party posed as a lawyer in an attempt to illegally profit from the mistake. The two parties are neither equally culpable nor equally brain damaged.
Does Your Startup Need a Website?
What's at issue here is that the tweet the software generated wasn't exactly an authorized use of the account.

Which means that, regardless of the technical point that "access to the Twitter account" gives the app the ability to post, the user did not give the app permission to post.
Idiette.
Thank you for the support guys. It is definitely a hard thing to experience -- the first reaction was definitely profoundly 'fuck' followed by 'this sucksssss'.

but at the end of the day, these guys have spent a long time building an incredible company, their designs are really awesome, and everything from their videos to their site design just screams 'rad'.

We're really stoked to build a company the way we want to.. making the decisions we feel are right. Yvon Chouinard wrote a book called 'Let My People Go Surfing' that was really inspirational to us.
"What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff- I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be. I know it's crazy."
2002: Internet? :)
> as a novice, you have no business mucking around with such dangerous things, but as an initiate, you have no need of the article.

That reminds me of an ex-girlfriend's "if you don't already know what you did wrong, I'm sure not going to tell you!"

More seriously, somewhere along the path from novice to initiate, you have a need for some material, though - be it this article or another.

Also, I'm not implying you do, but I find it funny that many people think "stocks are a fine investment, but options are dangerous".

The only real difference in risk is leverage, which is always high in options, and usually low in stocks. But you CAN get high leverage for stock trading, and you CAN restrict yourself to a small part of your capital thus "deleveraging" the effect of options on your portfolio. You need to have some experience, but definitely of the calibre of a Fugu chef, to practice these.

I think the close proper analogy is the stocks are a sharp household knife, and options are a butcher's knife.
The article is self-contradictory.

It argues at length that working more than 40 hours a week reduces your output, then states:
"And it hurts the country, too. For every four Americans working a 50-hour week, every week, there’s one American who should have a full-time job, but doesn’t. Our rampant unemployment problem would vanish overnight if we simply worked the way we’re supposed to by law."

The math they're using there 50 hours x 4 employees = 40 hours x 5 employees is either wrong, or the rest of the article is.
