Nine Ways Successful People Defeat Stress
Thanks for the heads up - I'll fix that now.
If you take the devops position it will be very hard for you to become a developer again later in your career. Instead, leave, and go to a company that values you more.
Speaking from personal experience, some of your incoming connections may not have been people abusing your keylogger. Personally, the first thing I do when I play around with any source code is compile, run, and test it.
Suicidal lone-nuts need shouldn't be able to obtain guns. There are probably ways to do this without an outright ban, or excessive bureaucracy. I propose the following possible solutions:

1) Outlaw buying a gun by yourself, and require 10 co-signers, who assume personal liability for any misuse of the gun. Everyone must be free of a criminal record, and take an oath to follow the law.

2) Require liability insurance to own a gun like car insurance. The insurance company would ensure you aren't a threat, or they probably wouldn't provide you with liability insurance.

I'll agree that you get better outcomes with two parents, but the idea that two-parent families are the solution is ludicrous. As a counter-point, a boy grows up in a two-parent family, but his dad consistently rapes him from an early age.

Thanks noibl, that's very generous of you. Besides being as self-conscious as anyone might be when publishing a bit of writing, I knew that I was writing for two separately critical audiences (computer security experts and those who would tend to brush off most privacy advocates as unnecessarily alarmist) which made it considerably more daunting. You put it quite well yourself, though: let's at least try. The defeatist attitude many people take toward privacy (and I'll be the first to admit, I do it too sometimes) is at least as concerning to me as the privacy challenges themselves, but I really do believe we stand a fighting chance on both fronts.

My exchange with jmillikin didn't continue, unfortunately, but I really do want to discuss exactly what we're building with anyone who will listen--there will be more information on the website soon enough but I would love for anyone who reads this to email me any time. My email is in my profile.
You can't use git by itself to manage a large set of projects. Android uses Gerrit for this. Git doesn't do well if you have lots of large binary assets, but unless you're a game company you shouldn't have that problem.

The card can be reloaded with money. The card gives the recipient gold level membership in the Starbucks rewards program. This includes a free birthday drink, and a free drink or food item after the purchase of 12 drinks. Paying with your registered Starbucks Card gets the cardholder brewed and iced coffee and tea refills at no charge during your visit at a participating store.

It's not a bad deal for someone who goes there every day.
> Like you pointed out, when accepted, it is used inappropriately and destructively much more often than it is used appropriately (hey, just like guns.)

What? I beg to differ. Unless hunting, competition and self defense are inappropriate uses of guns; then guns are used (or non-used)appropriately and non-destructively far more than they are used inappropriately.

The failed drug war has taught us you can regulate and draft laws until it's illegal to even think about making a gun let alone get a hold of one without the appropriate credentials, but it won't change a thing at the end of the day. While it can be argued that we might see people printing their own guns in the future when 3D printing becomes affordable, what's stopping people from printing knives and other sharp pointy objects that could be used to kill or maim someone else? If someone wants to get hold of a gun, they will and no amount of laws or enforcement will ever change that. If someone doesn't get hold of a printed weapon, they'll get their hands on a legitimately made metal one (or whatever material it is they build guns out of these days).

The benefit of 3D printing is that at least you have a better chance tracing a home printed weapon than you would an illegally purchased street firearm with no serial number.
I am not sure if it is irony, or destiny.

I definitely agree about lesswrong being a mixed bag, that post you linked in particular was just... painful.
The Higgs boson - Double trouble
ironically - this seems to work perfectly well for startups and companies on a less obvious level. Anyone remember the Gmail invites? They were offering email - a service that existed for a decade already (free) at this point - yet people were ready to kill for an invite! I remember a site that opened up around it called GmailSwap - where people were often offering up cold hard cash, in exchange for a Gmail invite. Today's launchrock pages are essentially a gentler version of the same thing "sign up to get exclusive first access to our beta" => "Give us your email so you can be the first to test buggy beta software and tell us how to make it better"
You can extend this to a lot of different areas - schemes like Amway or Tupperware - and if I allow myself some leeway - I'd say even some religions.
It's a sideload APK so that you know exactly what you're downloading. Google Play search can often give you malware with an identical seeming name and icon to real apps. Since this app requires root, it's very important to know exactly what it does - that is why it is OSS and I highly recommend anybody who knows Java to double-check that the app is non-malicious.

Relying on Google Play for a root-requiring app is not in any way a guarantee of safety - you can upload a malicious app to Google Play, and it can sometimes be as much as 24 hours before it is taken down.

Correct method is to download the source from github, verify it is correct, and compile and build your own version. Failing ability for you to do that, get someone you trust to verify the code, and failing that, try and make sure that there are no comments about the app being malicious.
But is it that make is inherently confusing or that "creating" things in general is muddied by being conceptually too crowded? There are at least 6 concepts jostling around (make, new, zero values, special reference types, literals, pointers-to-literals). For starters, it seems like that could have have been reduced to 5 by eliminating new(T) completely and allowing the already-idiomatic &T{} to pick up the slack.

I must agree with your overall praise for the language. The package/export system and the official tooling is masterfully done!
From what I read, he doesn't want to write code because it's the hyped thing. It's because he understands the power a person wields when they know how to code. He compared it to the power that the clergy wielded in the middle ages, being able to read & write.
Thanks, I try to be as reasonable as possible, though I have to admit when I came across this thread I had an "Oh noes, somebody is wrong on the internet I can't go to bed" moment.

Back on topic. I'll give you both points, but I'm not sure how they relate to my comment or the parent. I don't believe guns are inherently evil. The are just things. Clearly my parent believes that they are evil and nothing I say will change his mind but that's neither here nor there.

>Regardless, the earlier comment of "please don't take my guns away" serves to create a false dichotomy. It's perfectly possible to create meaningful firearm safeguards without going out and confiscating your personal weapons of watermelon destruction.

I don't think it is. As I said somewhere else in this thread, the cat is out of the bag. There are far too many readily available firearms for there to be any meaningful gun control in this country short of completely outlawing them AND confiscating them with a search.

There are already lots of firearms safeguards, including background checks, waiting periods, etc. Most people who post on boards like these and say we should have tighter gun control have no idea what that means, or what kind of gun control we in place now. Most of it is fine (in places like TN where I live) some of it is absurd and IMO unconstitutional (in places like DC and NYC). DC has some of the toughest gun control in the country and yet also has some of the highest gun crime rates in the country. Taking guns away from lawful citizens just means the criminals don't have anything to be afraid of.

To get my handgun carry permit I had to go to a class, pass a written test, pass a shooting test, pass a background check, get approval from my local sheriff, and all of this came with a waiting period. (Now, simply buying a gun is easier, but it still requires a background check unless you are purchasing from a private individual). What is it that you (or anyone else) would propose we add to this? You already can't legally buy or own a gun if you are a felon or have any history of mental illness. There are however plenty of guns available for them to buy from private individuals who don't know you are a felon, or alternately they could just steal them.
This just amplifies the fact that the conversation shouldn't be about gun control and should be about mental health.
the twist: echo is also hijacked...
With all the emphasis on confidence in modern culture, its dishonest to say you should in general admit you don't understand something.

In a negotiation for example, if you admit you dont understand something, the other party can use that factor to take advantage of you.

It also hurts your credibility in front of a wider audience when giving a speech for example.

While I do think being humble should be respected, modern culture will look down on those who admit they don't understand.

Fast growth:
Given the last 14 days, score = log(day_14_sum_of_metrics / day_1_sum_of_metrics) - 2 * sqrt(1 / day_1_sum_of_metrics + 1 / day_14_sum_of_metrics)

Big growth:
Given the last 30 days, score = day_30_sum_of_metrics - day_1_sum_of_metrics

Snip from someone who is smarter then me at these things...

Assuming that the first measurement is x likes, the second is y likes,

Then the estimate of the natural logarithm of the growth is given by

log(y / x) with an error estimate of sqrt(1 / x + 1 / y)

But since you are interested in the conservative estimate of the growth, you should use something like ~ 5% confidence interval. So I would recommend ranking your dataset using the folllowing function. log(y / x) - 2 * sqrt(1 / x + 1 / y)

For example:

growth from 1 to 10 will get the score of 0.2

growth from 100 to 400 will get the score of 1.16

growth from 10000 to 15000 will get the score of 0.38

One of the important properties of this estimator will be that the growth from say 10000 to 100000 will be ranked higher than the grown from 1000 to 10000, which in turn will be ranked higher than the grown from 100 to 1000 etc...

I don't agree. I think prohibition can coincide with a cultural perception that creates the illusion that the prohibition is effective, but in my opinion it's the culture itself not the prohibition.

Nothing can truly be prohibited. Especially things culture demands. What you're talking about is regulation anyway. There is a deference between prohibition and regulation. Take prescription drugs for example.

People absolutely would campaign to legalize Vancomycin if there was a cultural perception in favor of it's benefits.

No, it is not true of a revolver or a bolt, lever, or pump action rifle. I don't want to be mean about it but do you not know what you're talking about? You take a revolver and a box of ammo and I'll take an AR-15 and let's see who can fire more rounds. That's completely ridiculous.

This is cool, but seems overly complex. A few friends and I played "capture the flag" with our personal systems, and a few times passwords were obtained with a simple shell function wrapping sudo. The first time the function ran (based on whether or not the output file in /tmp existed) and 1/5 times after that, it would simply use read -s, and and write the password to the output file. The other 4/5 times it ran, it would simply 'exec /usr/bin/sudo "$@"'.

People don't seem to think twice about failing a password auth.
Installable Web Apps Will Be the Next Tech Battleground
Yep Ubuntu is the way to go. I was a Windows only kinda guy before I received my CR-48 from the pilot program. I tried Ubuntu for a bit, went to Windows 7 for a while, then Windows 8. Finally a few weeks back I saw some value in Linux for dev environments and went back to Ubuntu. I haven't looked back since.
Rules are made to broken (especially on a site called Hacker News) ;-) Plus I don't think jacquesm's "Please leave" has anything to do with the rules.

Anyway, out of the numerous reasons I believe 9/11 was an inside job, here's my favorite:

1. On 9/10 David Rumsfeld, the US secretary of defense, hold a pres conference (it's on CNN.com, etc.) and stated there are 2.3 trillion dollars, that the Pentagon cannot account for.

2. On 9/11 a part of the Pentagon, including the budget analysis department rooms, was destroyed. Most of the victims were accountants.

3. Same day WTC building 7 (not mentioned in 9/11 commission report, not investigated by any other authority) was destroyed in NY. Pentagon's primary financial information backup site was inside.

One out of the many, many "coincidences" on 9/11 ...
As found in the NY Times today regarding this subject:

"In Australia in 1996, a mass killing of 35 people galvanized the nation’s conservative prime minister to ban certain rapid-fire long guns. The “national firearms agreement,” as it was known, led to the buyback of 650,000 guns and to tighter rules for licensing and safe storage of those remaining in public hands.

The law did not end gun ownership in Australia. It reduced the number of firearms in private hands by one-fifth, and they were the kinds most likely to be used in mass shootings.

In the 18 years before the law, Australia suffered 13 mass shootings — but not one in the 14 years after the law took full effect. The murder rate with firearms has dropped by more than 40 percent".

It was legislation, intelligent legislation, that worked. It did not advocate the complete abolishment of firearms, which many pro-gun advocates seem to be making the mental leap towards when any discussion of gun "rights" is brought up. Thinking this problem isn't partially-solvable is ignorant.
I was and still am mystified at the Starbucks business here in New Zealand. The chain doesn't seem to be doing great (link below). However whenever I go past their store in K-road it looks very busy. Yet it is near some great independent coffee stores. I'd argue that some of the competition nearby is world leading. Theatre cafe for example. It is within a stones throw and its owner, Chris Priestly, is the former owner of Atomic coffee - a New Zealand coffee institution. The independent cafes and very small chains here are amazing, yet people still go to Starbucks. I know I'm missing something, because those people who go there see something I don't.

There are plenty of illegal things that are, in fact, hard to get, so clearly this argument is not universal.
My gennerally approach is:
1) Download source
2) Uncompress file
3) ./configure
4) make
5) ./[name of binary]
6) Read documentation/source_code/other_stuff
You do NOT want to do this. Unlike the CPU which can be preempted current GPUs can not. If you give them 2-30 minutes of work to do they will not return until that work is done. Windows gets around this by resetting the GPU if it doesn't respond for more than a few seconds. Linux/osx no such luck, at least not yet.

But, once reset the state of the GPU is often unknown. Not a good thing if you are embedding GPU code into your kernel.

Higgs Hiccup: Contradictory Results Show Up at LHC
There are a bunch of reasons SelectBoxIt is a better choice for single option select boxes than Chosen or Select2:

1. Mobile and Tablet Support - The native "wheel" interface is presented on the popular mobile and tablet devices. SelectBoxIt also allows you the flexibility to write your own mobile detection script in case you only want to target certain devices.

2. Theming support - SelectBoxIt currently supports theming your drop down's using Twitter Bootstrap, jQueryUI, or jQuery Mobile stylesheets. More popular CSS frameworks are in the roadmap.

3. More intuitive search algorithm - Instead of appearing as a combo box, SelectBoxIt does not present a "Not Found" result. If a search result is not found, then SelectBoxIt will look for the next best option.

4. Better event support - SelectBoxIt triggers over 24 native and custom events on the original select box that your code can listen to.

5. Better method API - SelectBoxIt supports over 14 methods, including methods that neither Chosen nor Select2 support (disable single options, refresh, etc)

6. Custom Builds - SelectBoxIt offers you the ability to create custom builds via a UI interface: http://gregfranko.com/jquery.selectBoxIt.js/customDownload.h...
I see two problems with the article:

1. For the foreseeable future there will be no 3D printer which can print explosives. Therefore it seems hard to actually print ammunition.

2. Guns have rather many parts which are under high mechanical stress. Therefore 3D printable gun designs will be rather crappy for quite some time.

Both of these points render the problem of 3D printable weapons rather smaller than the control of carbines.
I'm not sure exactly what happened, but there were hardly any posts on there last I remember. That, and most jobs are posted in the monthly whoishiring[1] thread now.
