I think a big part for me is I want it to be a video game and NOT reality. That's also what ruined playing EVE for me; it is such an amazing game and CCP cannot be praised enough for working hard to stay innovative but for me EVE got way too real and one has to be quite masochistic I think to enjoy playing it. Playing alone is like you are constantly missing out and playing in a corp becomes more like a job with responsibilities than anything, there is not much you can do if you just want to log in and spend some time playing and NOT having to worry or check corp and alliance news or follow fitting rules or having to justify yourself after getting ridiculed on killboards, attend corp meetings or report to your "officer" and what-have-you. Despite being awesome, it stopped being FUN. It's dead-serious to the point people try to interfere with your gameplay in real life.

Same with the ultra-realistic games, they try hard to be very realistic so I judge them on that level whereas trashy video games make it clear they are trashy and from there on I can accept it as just that and can appreciate it when they excel at being trashy. The same goes for movies for me.
Down here in France. Geo dns issue?

I think he is showing the clique problem cannot be solved in polynomial time. Since clique is in NP and not P, P!=NP.

There were some temporary problems because the site got overloaded, I boosted the number of heroku instances so the problem should no longer be there.
If I understand it right he showed that Clique cannot be solved in polynomial time, since any NP complete problem is at least as hard as Clique none of those problems can be solved in polynomial time. So he used Clique to draw general conclusion that P!=NP.

the only issue with "Settings" on android is that some moron user experience grand master at google insists that users should not have ANY setting. so more sensible but lowly user experience designers have to fake it and insert buttons that open popups with sliders and checkboxes just because the grand master moron wouldn't allow to have two buttons more on the main list of settings.
I have been thinking on your remark and trying to figure out how best to frame what I think you mean.

My first thought was viewing it basically like I am the customer of a place of business, and I realized that doesn't fit with what I think you mean. I wonder if that is where some people have trouble -- feeling like "hn member = hn customer" and then what follows is "the customer is always right" and seeing this like a personal playground, like a restaurant they visit or a movie theater they bought tickets to (which would fit with the demands for features, etc). So perhaps "a place where I do business" is a phrasing that more clearly conveys the attitude I think you mean. And I really like that.

Thank you for sharing that thought.

I think of the community as owning bootstrap at this point… maybe that's cheesy? Or naive…

I also think twitter played a larger roll than just hardware. Mark and I were both deeply embedded into the twitter culture (with access to great resources and really smart engineers to bounce ideas off of) and i think bootstrap has a very "twittery" feel as a result.

Anyone suggest a team project management tool?
My team is looking for a collaborative project management tool. We've used MS Project and Trello, but are looking for something that has the power of Project, the flexibility of Trello but with the ability to do instant updates that the team can see/be notified about. We'd also like rollups of sub-projects into larger projects in a dynamic manner; I know that's something we could get if we had MS Project Server.

That is the system that Postmark is using along with most of our other bigger customers.

It'd be more interesting to allow some sort of optional rating system which feeds into something like a gaming matchmaking system. People who consistently send out good reviews will get a rank of "A", for example, and be matched to others with similar rankings.

That way, even low-quality posts ("i liek that u have a logo") can be accounted for, without treating them like spam. As the reviewer becomes better at reviewing, they will see an increase in their ranking and better reviews.

The beta site (http://beta.facebook.com) hasn't been affected.
Huh. As of 15 minutes ago, I was (successfully) pulling data from http://graph.facebook.com.
I think the point to note is that _everybody_ owned a cell phone before the iPhone as well. If you look at revenue share of the mobile market, I think Apple and Samsung now dominate the entire mobile market because smartphones have higher margins (Nokia dominated previously).

Likewise, the iPad grew independent of whether the PC market was saturated or not, in such a way that the industry now separates it into a "tablet" market. But of course, people are doing stuff on tablets that they could have been doing on laptops.

I agree that if they are to sell it as their next huge product line, it has to be more than a regular Apple TV in a frame. They have to do something similar to what they did to the PC market with the iPad, and that's not easy to do in the TV market. What it needs to be, and whether Apple will pull it off, I don't know.

"One must require from each one the duty which each one can perform," the king
went on. "Accepted authority rests first of all on reason. If you ordered your people
to go and throw themselves into the sea, they would rise up in revolution. I have the
right to require obedience because my orders are reasonable."

"Then my sunset?" the little prince reminded him: for he never forgot a question once
he had asked it.

"You shall have your sunset. I shall command it. But, according to my science of
government, I shall wait until conditions are favorable."

"When will that be?" inquired the little prince.

"Hum! Hum!" replied the king; and before saying anything else he consulted a bulky
almanac. "Hum! Hum! That will be about--about--that will be this evening about twenty
minutes to eight. And you will see how well I am obeyed!"

With an SSD, though, once one drive goes there's a decent (perhaps small, but far from negligible) chance that a second drive will go out before you've had a chance to replace the first one. Which makes things complicated, but is much better than the similarly likely scenario that a second SSD fails shortly after you replace the first one. Because then it's possibly happening during the rebuild, and if that happens then it really will bring down the whole RAID array.

Not disputed that there's a slightly increased chance of concurrent disk failures with SSD, but on what basis is a second failure before rebuild any better than aduring it?

Also, I'm guessing you're referring to RAID5, as RAID6 / RAID DP is immune to double-disk failure, and RAID 10 and 0+1 are more tolerant of it.
We started something similar last year (http://erlywarn.com) ... for very similar reasons ... good luck my fellow competitor :)

You were not born in the land called Israel/Palestine, you were able to move there because of a supremacist regime that won't give the same rights to the natives just because of their race/creed/color. You US-born Jew have more rights than Jaffa-born Palestinian Christians or Isdud-born Muslims who were kicked out before Isdud was renamed to Ashdod yet you ask me why I call you a settler.

Mizrahim / Eastern Jews and Black African Jews were also treated as Guinea Pigs by the European Jews; they gave the children thousands of times more powerful x-rays than allowed amount, several died instantly, many have died of cancer.

Are you capable of rational thought? Are you talking about the settler state Israel which doesn't give equal rights to the natives yet allows Americans and Russians to move there based on their mother's religion or some other fictional country? A regime which has a separate set of laws for two groups based on their race, color or creed is referred to as an apartheid regime.

59% of Israelis approve of the term apartheid and support the discriminatory policies of their country:

I personally would find this oppressive and unpleasant. That's not to say that my concentration is better served by working at a rock concert, but "library rules" are robotic, not particularly humanity-affirming.

The offices in which I've gotten the most work done had a low to midlevel din of casual conversations and banter, like a place that lets humans be the social animals they are, while still encouraging some kind of collective respect for the idea of getting work done. It's a hard balance to adhere to consistently, but I'd rather struggle with the vacillation than work in a library.

In fact, this is the very reason I gave up working at home after two years: it's too quiet. You can hear a pin drop. A library to me has the ambiance of a funeral home, and encourages similarly dark thoughts. Needless to say, I got a lot more done in an office with an officemate, where we were both banging away at our keyboards and casually chit-chatting all day.
Minority rules: the tipping point for the spread of ideas
It's dangerous because it limits your options. Say you take money from an angel that is strongly associated with a single VC fund. Assuming you do well, when you need to raise your series A, if that VC fund declines, then it's less likely another VC will fund you. And they know this. Essentially, you have given them a lot of power over your future financing.
"Has been" is probably the applicable tense. And I saw this dynamic a lot among many English/Classical Studies/etc. majors that I've know. But, today, probably in no small part because of this dynamic (plus the ability to outsource/automate a lot of low IP legal tasks), the situation is actually pretty bad for middle-of-the-road law school gards from middle-of-the-road schools. The top Harvard grads still mostly do fine but law as a doubling-down strategy after graduating with a not particularly employable liberal arts degree is no longer especially viable.
Oh, nothing at all. I'm just saying that the reason I haven't submitted it is because there's no indication of what will happen when I do. I just don't want "example.com uses criticue" plastered on their twitter/facebook/etc, and there's nothing reassuring me that it's semi-private.

I also wasn't specific enough; I'm talking about the website of the company that I work for, not one I own. So the reason I'm reticent about using the service is that I'm merely casually interested in what people have to say, rather than submitting the site in an official capacity.

Although I find it interesting that he works for Toyota:

Unless he's been doing this research in his spare time, it seems like an odd fit for Toyota to dedicate research to. Obviously large companies employ theory-oriented researchers, but when I think Toyota I don't really think about very abstract computer science. I'm curious if there are any particular applications for the company one way or the other.
>"However, top humanities and arts students with very good grades and LSAT scores can still dramatically improve their earning prospects by attending an elite law school."
