I guess it makes it easy to give up on something when you never tried in the first place. I bet most people with exception of a few that frequent Hacker News and read tech blogs regularly never even heard of Dell's weak attempts at making an Android phone.

They might be in a better position to make a splash with Windows Phone 8, but I guess we will have to wait and see if that happens or not. My faith in Dell as a company left a while ago, I think they'll forever be known as a "cheap family computing" company and nothing more to be quite honest.
Then why did you write a lengthy comment about your behavioural issues on a blog about mental illness?
What is the point of this blatantly racist content of this populistic article essentially advocating discrimination (oops - I mean 'equal opportunity') over skills and productivity ??

Some examples: "(companies) import labor from overseas"

(...)
"How do you market your products and services to people you don't understand"

(...)
"Berkeley's College of Engineering, which now has an associate dean of 'Equity and Inclusion.'"

I love to say that facts know no ethnicity.

Here I'd say that some people are getting their lunch eaten by other people, and guess what - it's not the other's fault.

Maybe, just maybe, those who are getting their lunch eaten are just sitting on their asses, but are not working hard enough, and should work just a little more instead of whining and complaining how unfair life is.

Nobody owes anything to whiners.

There's absolutely no justification why some people from some ethnicity or some country should be "given the right" (by whom??) to work less than others, whose only fault was not winning the birth lottery, and are now making it up through hard work and dedication.
The first question that comes to mind is "Was the company upfront about the trial period being unpaid?"

Next, it sounds like there's more to the story as that's a very odd business arrangement. It's almost always the case where a contract is in the best interests of the company, so you might need to elaborate on the details.
I haven't used nanoc much, but I will second the recommendation for middleman. My experience with middleman is that it's one of the rare things that makes simple things easy while scaling well to not-so-simple things. Creating a basic site with a few static pages that share a template is completely painless, and because it's based on Sinatra it's pretty straightforward to use things built for that or Rails when you need to do something not built into middleman.
Mainly because self-identifying as any MBTI type is a stupid thing to do (I just didn't realize it until I interacted with a bunch of other people that self-identified as one). It can lead to silly conclusions like, "well, I'm right-handed, so I can't be good at art."

The INTJ-Open list was filled with people whose favorite hobby seemed to be arguing, even when it was just arguing about arguing. They were some of the most eloquent and logical dense people I've ever read. They justified some of their more egregious antisocial behavior as "being INTJ", which seemed to me to be about the dumbest possible response. They agreed on nearly nothing -- for a bunch of self-described rationalists you'd think there'd be at least some kind of trends in, I dunno, socio-economic thinking, or education, or something.

After a while I naively suggested that it might be a good habit to work on self-improvement a little. Y'know, go to the occasional party or mixer, have a drink, talk to people; chat with people in line at the store; let people say silly things without embarrassing them in front of others; treat people nicely even if you disagree with them; that sort of thing. The stuff that normal people do. IIRC, the most common response was that I must not be an INTJ. I got a couple of messages of support, but strictly off-list; the supporters were afraid of being ostracized on-list.

And that's when I realized that this group was Mensa, but more argumentative and with lower requirements.

I have an exceedingly low opinion of Mensa.

Anyway, I was really glad that saved me from going around "acting like an INTJ" (jerk) all the time, and I realized that I had just accidentally dodged the real danger of the MBTI stuff: that it encourages you to put yourself into a tiny little box.
Have you tried the open-source product startups? They are approximately all set up virtually. I have never run into one that actually had a real office. It should not matter to them where you are physically, since they are not dragging along a costly legacy of habits that requires it.
There have been several attempts at chrome extensions.
(example: https://github.com/Mononofu/CryptoChrome)

It seems pretty clear that the issue is that both sides need to buy into a solution for it to work. How are you going to verify the other sides identity so that you can encrypt for them in a useful, but unobtrusive way?
If you have the proper skills, I couldn't care less what race you are in this industry.

My bad, I've got a tight deadline due and probably shouldn't even be on HN. Yes I meant $25 per year. Even S3 could compete with $25 per month, ha.
It appears to me that is basically what Apple did with the original iPhone. No one was even trying until there was a competitor that showed what could be done.
Instagram's investors have partial ownership of the company and presumably that comes with voting rights. If the founders hid other offers and presented only Facebook's offer to the investors because Facebook secretly offered more personal gain to the founders, then that would be fraud. The founders would be deceiving and effectively stealing from their own shareholders.

When a company recieves offers, the founders don't get to just pick and choose which offers they want to present to the board for a vote.
Great project, and I would encourage to keep working on it, discouraging you is not my intention.
No, quite the opposite, it wasn't even made clear that it was a trial (still actually hasn't but I am giving a time frame so people understand.), I was told I was accepting a job at a given wage in person.
The host part is the transport layer-dependent permanent hidden service ID. For Tor, which is the primary transport layer supported by cables communication, it is a 16-character Base32 representation of a half of Tor's hidden service RSA-1024 public key fingerprint (an 80-bit part of SHA-1 cryptographic hash), with an .onion domain suffix. For I2P, it is a 52-character Base32 encoding of eepSite's ElGamal-2048 public key SHA-256 fingerprint, with a .b32.i2p suffix.

In this way, message security (inability of the attacker to reveal the message contents) is independent of the transport layer security (inability of the attacker to reveal the contents of network traffc and the location of correspondents). This is important because, at present, Tor appears to disallow “too much” security by design:

- RSA-1024 is universally used as a public key cipher (identity, onion, connection, and private keys, and likely for SSLv3 connections as well; although long-term directory authority identity keys are RSA-3072). This RSA key size is likely inadequate against a resourceful adversary such as the NSA/CSS. RSA-1024 provides only ~80 bits of security (see NIST SP 800-57 Part 1, §5.6.1).

- AES-128 is used as a stream cipher, although this key size is not allowed for highly sensitive data protection in the government of USA (see CNSS Policy №15 FS №1).

- SHA-1 80-MSB are used as the hidden service ID, offering at most 80 bits of security against hidden service impersonation. The security might be weaker than even that, since an MSB section of a cryptographic hash does not automatically inherit the second-preimage attack resistance properties of the original hash.

I'm white and I can get work. Maybe the other whites who have trouble should try being as skilled/awesome/smart/responsible/etc as me, or as their asian competitors.
No, it means I believe that with the right pieces of law (e.g., the bill of rights), we can govern ourselves relatively successfully (e.g., the United States government)

As clearly evidenced by the bill of rights and the US government, you don't have to implicitly trust your government to grant them power without finding yourself in the middle of a dictatorship police state.

(Yes, I know, some people believe the USA is a police state, but IMO they are the fringe and have never experienced a real police state)
Do you have any written correspondence to that effect? If so, you should delete this "Ask HN" and get a lawyer. Period.

Good idea but wouldn't work for me since I don't lecture anymore.
Accusing me of sexism is completely out of line. I attacked the author professionally because I don't think she's right about design. Professionally, I lauded her programming and writing accomplishments in another comment, and I'm sure she's perfectly qualified to write about those topics. I'd gladly learn from them. Personally, I have no idea who the author is. I'm sure she's a wonderful person.

Regardless, I'm done here. I'd be happy to have a civil discussion on the matter, but it's clear you're not capable. Passive-aggressively calling me sexist while hiding behind a throwaway account is trolling, plain and simple, and tolerating you isn't worth my time.
No written correspondance on the offer. The only written proof of the exact number I have was in the google apps account the ceo deleted.

This is a decent image of the ciphertext: http://i.huffpost.com/gen/874813/thumbs/o-PIGEON-CODE-570.jp...

I see two different handwritings and implements on there.

The main code is blocky. The U's have square bottoms. They're even written like we might write "LI", as if the writer preferred a fountain point nib and had a habit of avoiding 'pushing' up vertical strokes. By the third line, it looks like his ball point is running dry and he doubles over the lines. He was taught to write the code squarish and blocky -- he writes "27 1525/6" much more naturally.

It looks like he wrote the note at 15:22 and handed it off to someone else who "lib.[erated]" them at 16:25. Probably the Sjt. wrote the plaintext, encrypted it, and handed two copies of the ciphertext to a (lucky) Pigeon Officer to crack open a crate of unused pigeons and drive them well away from the front lines before releasing them. This took about an hour.

Sjt Stott probably wrote "1522" so small to leave room for the Pigeon Officer to write the release time into the same box. (British and their paperwork). But the Royal Pigeon Service Officer didn't want to cram in the letters, so he just underlined "origin" as if to say "this is the correct time of origin of the pigeon I filled out my part of the form right" and wrote above it by hand.

The form was designed for a single user, but on D-Day you had one guy filling out the form and handing it off. The Sjt. may not have had much practice sending messages via pigeon or this particular form much before.

"27 1525/6" sure looks like "signing off at 15:25 on the 6th" (D-Day was June 6, 1944.) What happened in the three minutes between 15:22 and 15:25? Is that the time it took to make a second copy? If so, then why is the time in the message later than the time at the bottom?

Note that the Pigeon Officer knew the IDs of both pigeons before releasing either one of them.

So if the BBC is representing Mr. Young accurately when he "says Sgt Stott would have sent both these birds - with identical messages - at the same time, to make sure the information got through." then I think Mr. Young may be off the mark.

Young and BBC also make the suggestion that "PABLIZ" correpsonds to "Panzer Attack - Blitz". But clearly these are 5-letter groupings so the correct ciphertext is "PABUZ" which doesn't fit nearly so well.

tubbo, you appear to be hellbanned, fyi.
Like the message below me, locate and file the paper trail. Do they say how much you will be paid? If your pay was only mentioned in person, is there any recording of the arrangement? Are other "employees" having this problem? Have you tried communicating with the other employees? What reason did the employer give you for not paying?
Or an Australian, UK, Canadian, New Zealand, French, Italian, etc College. Remember the US isn't the only country in the world. Nor is it the attractive place it once was.
Ask HN: Anyone dissatisfied in a large tech company? Where did you go next?
Hi,

I was wondering how many people here formerly worked for large tech companies, became dissatisfied with their day to day work and moved on to other things?

I would really like to hear why you felt that way. What was missing for you? Lack of impact? Unexciting tasks? Inability to be free and creative?

A lot of people can't understand when someone is unhappy working at top 5 tech company. It's what we all worked so hard for right? Except it's not quite always what we expected it to be.

I would love to hear thoughts and experiences on the subject of dissatisfaction at large tech companies and what it is we all really want in life.

Have an upvote. You have relieved me of the need to compare 16 personality types to 12 (sun signs).

(Irony: I actually think astrology -- and MBTI -- has its uses. I just think dividing billions of people into twelve general groups is somewhat silly. Making it sixteen isn't tremendously better.)
Why would you want to do it remotely? I have worked with interns from a lot of countries, and this is something especially the EU makes a lot easier (but I've also worked with interns from e.g. Egypt). And while we have done remote internships, I'm convinced being in the same spot works a lot better, for both parties.

Depending on the company, you won't get rich, but we have always tried to make sure interns could at least break even, and off-course learn a lot. Some of them stayed, and I have now one remote person working for us in Egypt, who used to be an intern (and stayed in Amsterdam, where we are based, during the internship).
Nobody wants to consider the fact that there are children that are unwell. Regardless of whether it is physical (leukemia, bone cancer, any one of a whole host of really nasty immune system related and quite deadly genetic predispositions) or psychological. Schizophrenics have been cute little babies too, with parents that love them very much and want the same wonderful life for there children as anyone else. And that goes for all of the people who have any kind of autism spectrum issue, borderline, bipolar disorder, chronic depression and so on. They exist. Their parents exist and many of those parents are in hell. In absolute hell.
You would do well to remember that, one day you might be the father or mother who is crying themselves to sleep every night wondering what will become of your child or whether they will survive their next suicide attempt. Whether they will ever be able to make it on their own. When the next call from school will come because they've hurt someone. Blaming them accomplishes nothing. It's just a sign that you are lacking in empathy or have never loved something so much that the thought of them suffering is physically painful.

Show HN: I'm Leselys, your very elegant RSS reader.
Looks very interesting, can anyone say if this material also applies to SQLite?
I don't think it's so simple as to written off as some genetic issue certainly and, to be honest with no malice intended, the idea there will be no mental illness at some point in this center is the dumbest thing I've heard in awhile, but I also don't think the "line" between being "sane" and "killing everyone in sight" is fine; why would that be the case? It seems if it really were as precarious as you say, we would have a lot more violence. Only a very small percentage of people become these sorts of rampage shooters.
H1B1 is still fairly restrictive also, if those requirements were loosened these same people would have even more competition.

It is a global economy now, people can't just assume that they just need to be good enough against the traditional demographics. You don't really hear of people on here that are really dedicated with what they do struggling to find a decent paying tech position.
The GPU code seems to be relatively isolated to memory operations in gpuops.cu. Not altogether sure but a quick review suggests such mapping is supported by OpenCL. So one could rewrite that module and the whole thing would work without CUDA. Of course, in terms of compilers it is going to be a while before users can move away from nvcc for nvidia graphics card support.

However, as with the parent I'd really like to see a generic OpenCL vectorization kernel module. Strong suspicion that this work was directly or indirectly underwritten by Nvidia so I guess someone (Intel?) needs to step up and fund similar academic projects.

We'd love to talk to you - founders@pedalr.com ... working on V2 of the service (http://www.pedalr.com | https://angel.co/pedalr) and business model. Please send your CV if you'd be interested in working on the intersection of content and ecommerce with a fun group and some great advisors. We're Ruby, MYSQL, Wordpress.
I just want to second this. I participated in GSoC 2009 and absolutely loved it. I'm from the US and worked with 2 mentors in Switzerland, a student in India and a student Colombia.

We worked on a package management system like APT for Windows, and while it was a bit unrealistic for 3 students in 3 months, I learned more in those 3 months than entire years at college.

Edit: There's also a Ruby Summer of Code in the same respect as the Google one. http://rubysummerofcode.org/
I wonder if the mirror neurons underlying empathy were poorly developed for you and you were lucky enough that they got stronger over time.
The issue with high longevity is that an across-the-board 50% reduction in the death rate (which was achieved between the 1960s and now) only buys 8 years. If it's only death-rate reduction that's going on, then you only get about 1 year back every 5, which is not bad in absolute terms but disappointing for people who want to live "forever". Additionally, I think there are economic costs associated with death-rate reduction (in lieu of actually slowing or halting aging) that make it unlikely that the 1 year/5 year trend will continue.

In terms of actually slowing down senescence, or the 9%/year increase in death rate, we haven't. We don't have the tools yet. At some point, people will. I'm 50-50 about whether I'll "make the cut" but choose to live as if I won't, for obvious reasons. I am not even guaranteed a day; no one is.

I think that the tools to slow senescence will be developed a few years before it becomes possible to halt and reverse aging outright. There won't be a period where people have 150-year lifespans, followed by 250, then 1000. The first 150-year-old is probably the first 10,000-year-old (because, with 5000 years of technological progress, most of the accidental death causes will be very rare). The world's oldest person will experience life like this: about 110 years of natural aging, followed by some experimental new treatments that keep that person in a senescent state for about 10-15 years, followed by a reversion, probably returning to the health of an average 20-year-old by age 140. This person may be alive now, or may not be born for a couple centuries. I'd bet on "alive now", though.
I got my evolver in 2005 and continue to love it's design and sound quality. His latest device, a joint effort with with Roger Linn called Tempest, is a refined drum machine with the signature fat sound and brilliant versatility of DSI.
Racist And idiotic. WTF is that headline supposed to mean. Why don't we enshrine in the constitution job quotas that must mimic demographic composition. ie "you're a 50 people company, you need 5 Blacks, 8 Latinos, 2 Asians, 2 other,26 women 1 lesbian, 22 white males, 4 of whom are gays, & a Rastafarian."
This is pretty much horrifying (to someone like me who likes to meticulously manage and know where things are instead of treating "Downloads" or "Desktop" like a flat-filesystem.

Is it really that hard to just, you know, delete a few files whenever you download something? Download X. Okay. Download Y, go to open Y, delete X while you're there.

Somehow I have 6 TB of data and it's all organized. I don't have any files on my Desktop or Downloads folder. Amazingly, I don't have to spend 4 minutes looking for something when I need to pull something up to look at it or send to a friend.

Weaker than that. Not determined, but just affected.

As a random example it is known that genes play a big role in causing ADHD, which is associated with a variety of risky behaviors, which might conceivably be correlated with increased reproduction rates.

If ADHD people has kids 10% faster than the rest of the population, then in something 30 generations, we'd expect over half the population to have ADHD. That's about 750 years. (I do not know if this is the case with ADHD. I'm throwing it out as a random example. For all I know there is no real difference. Or, in the presence of birth control, a 20% difference.)

It isn't just ADHD, though. Every possible genetically determined characteristic that limits how effectively birth control prevents you from having children is now being aggressively selected for. All else remaining equal, in a few hundred years we are likely to see significant behavior shifts in our species.
Good findings; can't wait to see how this all ends.

As I pointed before to this article [1], Andreessen and Sequioia Capital have/had closer relationship with Facebook than they do with Twitter. Won't be surpised if some "sentiment" in regards to who represents who, interfiered with the purchase.

And CCD has very good business sniffing into this kind of stuff. After all, lower price = lower taxes. Lower taxes = less for CCD and other Gov entities.
