It's probably a case where the dev API key was pushed live instead of the correct key for vw.com

One of the reasons why I have a list of all these disposable email services is because some do get blocked from websites.

Eg. mailinator : I loved the service but its mostly blocked everywhere now. ( I know there are alt domains for mailinator )

Really appreciate all these services.
Anathem and Cryptonomicon are very different from Snow Crash but they are Neil Stephensons crowning jewels. I recommend you give them a go.

Theories about what would free people with their freedom don't have to proven. THEY are responsible for them. No one is forcing them to do anything at the point of a gun.

Those advocating the use of force to solve a problem, on the other hand, completely own the results. Just as I would if I decided to force my neighbor to do something if were given the authority to do as I saw fit.

I say "I feel" or "I think" to qualify what my guesses about what people will do because I don't arrogantly assume that I know better than they do how to run their own lives or allocate their scarce resources.

Most people do a fine job without me forcing my views upon them. And would do even better without massive funds being diverted to people that clearly mismanagement many, many things.
You need to find an actual problem that stretches what you know and demands you to dig deeper into areas of computer science that interests you.

Reading theory and books won't get you far as you will realize that the real-world problems bring a lot of perspective that is not documented well enough in most books.

So, how do find a challenging problem to solve? Most people will suggest working on side projects, but some really hard problems (e.g. distributed computing) requires resources that make it impossible to pursue as side projects. Also, having people much smarter than you around you helps with the learning. So, the alternative in this case is to join a start-up or a big co just so that you get a chance to explore difficult problems.
I think this is really key. You have to realize that your employer may be of the type which says "Well anyone can do this CRUD stuff so we'll add him to the pile" and that is probably true, but if you're really capable and passionate you'll be doing the CRUD and learning new stuff too. Talk to people at work about the cool stuff, if you manager is someone you can talk to, talk to them about it. Learn what you can, build things. Find a non-CRUD project that you could do that would make your manager look good, then explain that to them and get their buy in. They are doing it to look good but you'll have solid experience on your resume when you blow town.

The biggest mistake new college grads make in their first job is that the only thing they can do is what their manager told them to do. Sure you have to do that stuff too but if you're smart, figure out a way to get that stuff done and get other fun stuff done. That stuff you get to pick for yourself so it will be, by definition, not CRUD.
I would agree that having a healthy scepticism of those in authority is a very fundamental part of libertarian philosophy. But if you find the author's political inclinations objectionable you can read the original book by Samuel Arbesman that Ronald Bailey based his article on.
Really interesting mathematics I hadn't heard about before! The controls feel a bit clunky, and clicking on a side doesn't change the color sometimes.
Sorry, the controls are insane. I move mouse out to rotate the figure to see the face I want to change color for, then I move mouse in and the dodecahedron rotates again, moving the desired face back. Please, add some arrow controls or something different from mouse movement to rotate.

Otherwise neat and hope you find a good internship.
And like many philosophies, it sounds good until you get to the details. E.g:

A) Why is "threat of force" an axiom? What's wrong with force? You just don't like to be forced? I don't like having to work for a living. Maybe I can center a philosophy around that. Rather, balance the downsides of force against other values. Except then it's more complicated.

B) Who is the priesthood of deciding what's considered "force"? Who elected them? Extreme libertarians seem to agree that I can use force against a terrorist to get information to diffuse a bomb, because the terrorist used force first. But I really, really don't like it when someone doesn't have insurance and then they need emergency care. Why is choosing not to have insurance, and thereby, with some probability making me miserable not an initiation of force? It's not the same magnitude as a bomb, sure, but why do you get to draw the line between "force" and "not-force" instead of me?

This being the internet, I expect to have convinced no one, but at least you'll know libertarianism is arbitrary even if you won't admit it. And if I sound bitter, it's because libertarianism is specifically a "smart-person disease" and I wish that "smart-people diseases" wouldn't exist.
The Master chose to follow the most uninteresting character: an alcoholic prone to streaks of violence with no real personality, motivations, or character arc. And there was a potentially extremely interesting character with his own cult right around the corner in Lancaster Dodd, but both were largely unexplored aside from the early "debate" with a skeptic and the admittedly excellent "processing" scene. There was a throwaway line from Dodd's son saying his dad makes everything up, but Dodd's psyche and motivations were never explored. It's hard to even say whether he sincerely believes his stuff.
That's a really good point, and I agree. Offering multiple server locations is definitely on the road-map, but doing it well (ie. without providing a false sense of security) is an entirely separate and mostly legal challenge--as a Canadian company, we would be susceptible to mutual legal assistance treaties with the US, so we'd have to set up companies in a few different countries with different legal environments and then lay out the trade-offs in a transparent way.

Hopefully, we'll get to it, but if another startup gets there first we'd be much obliged ;) In the meantime we will focus on the big problem that's already right in front of us; I would encourage anyone who needs to operate outside of US legal influence to use a different mailserver (perhaps their own) and manage their own PGP keys.
I always find these best of lists nice, I never think they are actually the "best of" but I do end up finding one or two gems I add to my box of whatever it's the "best of" of. I guess it's a small thing I just don't like the titling of "best" articles.
I know how to run my own mail server - I have set up a couple. L still don't because my setups tend to be inferior security and feature wise to those of people that do nothing but run mailservers every day of the week. I could argue that building mailservers is such a basic skill that everybody should be capable of doing it. Or building a house. Or growing your own food. Neither you nor I do that even though growing your own food is the simplest, most basic step to solving a ton of problems in the food industry.

As I and others pointed out your most basic step does not solve the problem and you can just move to a different provider that is not subject to American laws to have the hsame effect.

You're also not required to have any technical skills at all to gnash your teeth about a government that tries to expand surveillance in every possible place. For some places you might have a technical solution such as running your own mail server at home, but what are you going to do once hacking of mail servers without a warrant is permitted and common place? Counter-Hack? As hackers we try to find technical solutions to social problems, but that's not going to work out in every place.
Why allow anyone to handle any of their responsibilities? There's a chance they may not, so government should be doing it.
Don't think about the end result while you're starting off. I didn't create a blog because I wanted clients. I created a blog to show the world my work (showoff) and people just happened to like it and the offers started flowing.

If you think about the end result (pay rent in your case) then you maynot be able to succeed! Okay I don't want to talk philosophy here buy you got the point, didn't you?

Valid point. It's a different branch and a different issue though. Mails that are already on your server and stored there would be relatively safe. Make sure communication is encrypted.

Content Adaptive Stereo Video Coding
Remember that it wasn't just hardware decoders in end-user devices. H.264 already had a lot of buy-in from video producers. With support at both ends of the chain, trying to replace it just for the sake of patent issues (which most people didn't care about) was a fool's errand.
Trustworthy TCB
Over the past few years the embedded-systems industry has been moving toward the use of memory protection, and operating systems which support it. With this comes the increasing popularity of commodity operating systems, particularly embedded versions of Linux and Windows. Those systems, if stripped to a bare minimum for embedded-systems use, may have a kernel (defined as the code executing in the hardware’s privileged mode) of maybe 200,000 LOC (Lines Of Code), which is a lower bound on the size of the TCB (Trusted Computing Base). In practice, the TCB is larger than just the kernel; for example, in a Linux system every root daemon is part of the TCB. Hence the TCB will, at an optimistic estimate, still contain hundreds if not thousands of bugs, far too many for comfort.
I loved Neuromancer and Burning Chrome, to a lesser extent count zero and mona lisa overdrive.

But, the blue ant books are so boring! I am so genuinely perplexed whenever anybody recommends them. Honestly I can't say anything after Pattern Recognition is any good or not as I never gave it a shot.

I guess I just struggle with what exactly and who exactly I'm supposed to be paying attention to in Pattern Recognition. Too many asides that I only found distracting and not amusing or even interesting.

But I loved the sprawl series so much, I keep trying to pick up Gibson again. I'm just left mystified what anyone sees in his recent 5 or 6 books.

I did read the Sprawl books pretty much as they were published, or within a couple years. I think I was in 6th grade when I read Neuromancer the first time.
'Best of articles' do work always! For the blogger/ editor and the reader.

Cheating DeathWatch: Myspace
Nice writeup, but comparing non-linear SVMs to decision trees and logistic regression is a bit disingenuous. Try comparing the performance to random forests and neural networks-- the differences will be much less stark. Also, in real-world data mining tasks, I think most people find that random forests generalize much better.
I think the way the scientific method is generally presented does not really accurately represent how science is really done. It's true that there are many scientists who more or less follow the scientific method to the letter. But I think it's more common that scientists individually don't follow the scientific method terribly closely. It's only scientists collectively that follow the scientific method.

One scientist might come up with a hypothesis, never test it, but nevertheless believe it devoutly. But science progresses because other scientists are sceptical and test the hypothesis.

It's in the first scientist's self-interest that the hypothesis is proven true, but it's generally more in other scientists' self-interest to prove the hypothesis false.

Some of the greatest scientists of the 20th century closed their eyes to overwhelming evidence that their pet hypothesis was wrong. One of the classic examples was Geoffrey Burbidge (known best for showing that the heavy elements were created in stars and released into the universe in supernovae) who believed until the day he died that quasars were galactic objects.

I've had some CRUD jobs and some non-crud jobs. Interestingly, all the CRUD jobs came through Agencies and all the non-crud jobs were direct. There may be something there...
In what way is Pattern Recognition similar to Ready Player One? I was intrigued by the description of RPO, but when I read you talking about Pattern Recognition being in the same genre, I was really confused.

I thought Pattern Recognition was truly awful and couldn't finish it.
I like this post -- and you're right, I immediately thought 'Pascal's Wager.' I'd just add that the other problem with Pascal's wager is that there is (typically) a non-negligible cost to believing in a god, which doesn't apply here.

I recommend clearly articulating your programming experience. Reading your job description I can't tell if you're doing programming or sys amdin/support desk type stuff. Like "upgrade calendar software." Are you installing upgrades or writing the upgrades?

Also, what do you mean by crud? I assume...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Create,_read,_update_and_delete
So, this is a good post and everyone should be aware of these. But kernels ("non-linear" svms) are not a panacea. If you use kernels, then your model will need to remember some non-trivial number of the data points (the "support vectors" that define the decision surface). SVMs are nice in that they need a relatively small number of points compared to the size of the dataset. Moreover, classification is now linear in the number of points you kept around, and training is potentially quadratic. If you use a straight-forward linear classifier, you only need a single weights vector.

Second, SVMs---especially with a non-linear kernel---are much trickier to tune than logistic. SVMs are very sensitive to choice of hyper-parameters (user specified tuning weights), which means repeatedly retraining. And if you use too powerful of a kernel, you will overfit your data very easily.

For these reasons, my advice is to start with logistic, and then if you're not satisfied, switch to SVMs.

(As an aside, it's totally possible to kernelize logistic regression. Without suitable regularization, it'll be even worse with regards to the number of datapoints you need though.)
Why is email that is 180 days old considered abandoned?

I have flown pretty much all the legacy carriers, including the ones that merged out of existence.

Delta is by far the worst I've dealt with. No other carrier even comes close on that score.

I'm currently with US Airways (Platinum) for various reasons; they've treated me pretty well, their hubs are decent enough, routes are convenient, and they fly real planes rather than cramped CRJ lawn darts in and out of my home airport (Kansas City). And it's comforting to know, at the moment, that if they do screw up horribly I have other options within the alliance, though the looming prospect of the AA merger is going to lead to some serious thinking about whether I should just do it pre-emptively.

Among the low-cost carriers I don't mind Southwest so much. They're kind of the Chipotle of airlines; you know what you're going to get, you know it's not the greatest but also not the worst, and they have some quirky branding and service aspects that inspire loyalty among their regular customers. If I were going to fly an LCC, though, I'd probably pick Frontier just because they give a bit more bang for the buck on the routes I'm most likely to fly.
Yeah, they are accessing the API via (view source):
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3.6&sensor=false...

So the client ID is "gme-volkswagenag"... Which is a business client ID for the Google Maps API.

So the error message FAQ points to:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/business/gu...

So this client ID somehow is not valid for the URL (makes sense otherwise anybody could use VW's client ID). Perhaps they tested with something more restrictive like beta.vw.com. Seems like VW just needs to modify their authorized URLs for that client ID in their admin console.

My opinion is that this Hacker News article title is wrong and misleading.

I've written the cropping algorithm being used at Facebook, here is a write-up of the method if you are interested: http://blog.vjeux.com/2012/facebook/best-cropping-position.h...

I tried to use saliency-based approaches but they don't really work that well for non artistic photos. For example, this image[1] would have edges everywhere but next to the faces.

If you have some time, I would be interested in seeing the results of your approach in my example images[2].

The four-color theorem is typically formulated for planar figures. It also applies to the surface of anything homeomorphic to a sphere, because a stereographic projection will preserve the four-color property. It does not apply to other shapes -- a simple torus may need seven colors. Adding holes lets you increase the number of required colors without bound.

Ask HN:How to break out from online freelance marketplaces to find quality work?
hello all

i experiment with freelancing as c++/java developer for 2 years mainly along with my day job
in well known freelance marketplace site.
i probably dont need to tell you folks how very hard it is to get good quality work there and get the pay that your work is worth.

i call it "red light district of freelances" . even though i managed to do very well there and got very high reputation for my work manly to learn how is it to be freelance.

but the pay is low .and i found out that employers that usually using those sites don't like to pay more if you keep working for them out side the site. (maybe a little more)

and the competition with the low bid'rs from developing countries is very hard.
BUT now as i want to go full time freelance i can't count on such site's. i want to get to known by people that needs contractors and willing to pay as i deserve.
not 20$ for hour for c++ job hi.. i got 15 years experiences. and from where i am
my type of developer worth 70$ and more.
how do i break out ?
thanks but the site is down , what is this app ?

Can somebody explain why is this statement is not accurate :

"A mutex is really a semaphore with value 1."
That error message is exactly what you've mentioned.

Basically the key that they are using for access has a whitelist of sites it is allowed to work on, they must have forgotten to include the production url to their key. It's a pretty quick fix on their side, somebody who owns that account just needs to add the url.

Of course, finding out who owns the account who owns the key might be difficult at VW.
You must absolutely refuse to work anything you do not actually want outside of work. That will make all the difference.
If you for some reason would get a job outside of your profession would you do it outside work too? That goes for any profession. If you want to make difference you have to plan in some time for that. Not everyone is that lucky to get dream job right out of college, actually I believe most of us don't. Only you can create (a path to) your dream job.
