Hah! Check it out, negative karma for the win: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2847982

So this is old news which I completely missed (I should have scrounged around Google Scholar for the paper, if you are wondering here it is: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjourna...) No further results in 2 years?
The title of the post should be, "My experiences with the delivery of my baby." The whole 'having a kid' part is the next, oh... 10 to 15 years.
Freshman Year - $18/hr doing C/Java at a fortune 500.

Sophomore Year - $20/hr doing C/Java at same fortune 500.

Junior Year - $22/hr doing Python at same fortune 500 but different group

Senior Year - $16/hr doing C# at a defense contractor

Masters Degree - $32/hr at original fortune 500 in a Tier 2 support role.

My Junior year, IBM Extreme Blue offered me $24/hr and $1000 for moving expenses for a summer internship in Austin, Texas (coding C#).

While working on my masters degree I had a small software shop offer me $12/hr to code C for them.

All jobs in Raleigh, NC. I had 2 years of professional development experience (perl) at a bank in Charlotte prior to college. A lot of the larger companies pay you based on some combination of credit hours completed divided by total credit hours for degree.
I'm really curious...do most sites now fall back to HTML5-compatible players even on the desktop?

I'd love to uninstall Flash, but it'd be a major pain if I had to switch over to Chrome every time I wanted to visit an MP3 blog or news site (think CNN or The Verge with their proprietary Flash video players).

EDIT: Also, last I checked, HTML5 videos on YouTube could not be played in "true" fullscreen (they'd only take over the browser window, not your entire screen). Has that changed?
Hospitals are not where mothers are supposed to give birth. They are constantly rushed to get the baby out, doctors are terrible at patient management and very quick to suggest chemical interventions, are very happy to use suctions to get the baby out and go home early, etc. 100,000 people die every year in the US from infections contracted during hospital visits, completely unrelated to the original reason for the visit. Why would you want your infant child in that sick environment?

As for cancer, ignoring the fact that you compare it to child birth, it's completely natural. We all have cancer cells in our bodies at various times. Weak, unhealthy bodies do not know how to fight it, hence the so-called cancer breaks out so to speak. And you're correct that there are many other treatments to consider before traditional methods, but I'll get downvoted for speaking, so why bother.
Potocin and an epidural are not treatments. C-sections are emergency procedures and should only be done in emergency and high risk situations. Unfortunately, they are the norm now.

The problem is not C-sections and epidurals. The problem is that both are sometimes unecessarily given without much thought and for non-emergencies.
Welcome to the world of being an ethnic/racial/religious minority.
My algorithms final was entirely problems that we had never seen before that required that we create new algorithms or heavily modify existing ones. The average score was a 55% (this is a professor who makes extremely hard tests and then curves up).

Had he just been asking us to recite implementations of quicksort and whatnot I might agree with you, but I think that your premise is flawed. Not all final exams are what you have described.
or he's just capitalizing on a post that he know will get lots of attention to plug his next gig

That looks splendid! I've spent just a bit of time in Guatemala while traveling through Central America, and I absolutely loved it, but I'm infatuated with CA in general.

I studied in Costa Rica in 2006 and felt that, in many ways, the quality of life was better than that in the U.S.
Android Hacker? Come take on the Telecom Giants

Android (1 year experience)

Nice to have:
Experience with Google Guice (Or other Dependency Injection Framework).
Experience with Cordova/PhoneGap.
Javascript

About us:
We’re making it faster and simpler for professionals to communicate.

Founded to help educators reach students and parents in under resourced communities, we’re taking on the Telecom giants. Hate your phone carrier? Us too. Telecommunications is a duopoly dominated industry, which has systematically suppressed competition over its 150 year history, in order to keep prices unfairly high. We’re going to change this, starting with business phone service.

SendHub has over 60k customers across the US in SMBs, politics, faith groups, sports, education and many more; making hundreds of thousands of calls and sending millions of texts each month.

The Role:
You’ll be involved in every part of the software life cycle from specs discussion to implementation to testing and releasing. You’ll work on challenging problems that require deep knowledge of the tech stack and work with fun technologies such as VoIP and Bluetooth.

Our Philosophy:
We believe in building a wonderful product and taking care of our people. We understand the importance of personal growth so you’ll get autonomy, recognition and regular feedback. We move quickly. Working in short iteration cycles, we release our apps to market at least once a week. We expect a lot of each other but we wouldn't want it any other way.

Benefits:
Health, dental, meals and we don’t track vacation days.

We're based in downtown Menlo Park, CA (very close to the caltrain station). If you're interested, please drop us a line: jobs [at] sendhub [dot] com.
Wow feeling old. Wang was a major supplier of purpose-built word processors for offices. 1970s timeframe. Prior to that they made sophisticated calculators for science and engineering and later finance.

Executives and most managers still had secretaries and dictated letters and memos. The Wang system was revolutionary. A multiuser, networkable word processing system that completely changed the game in terms of the time and effort necessary to produce typewritten documents.

They were supplanted in the 1980s by the more general purpose PC but definitely hold a significant place in the history of business computing.
While I generally agree with that sentiment, I'm actually very grateful for the "blogspam" version that was linked to.

The http://www.paris1914.com/ site has the worst user experience I've seen in quite a while. Somebody went to a lot of work to make the site have all those bells and whistles, and they totally blew it. It's just ridiculous! I move the mouse over a picture and the picture flips around to show me some info about it. OK, but what happened to the picture? I wanted to see the picture. So I try to click, and that only works half the time. You have to catch it quick before it flips around to display the title card. Good luck with that. Then if the click registers, it does this weird two-way-but-not-both-at-once animation and finally shows me the picture. Then I can close that, lose my place, and pick some other picture to look at more or less randomly.

This is NOT the way to make a photo gallery.

By contrast, the "blogspam" page has all the pictures in a simple page that I can scroll up and down. Nothing fancy, nothing I can't figure out, and no way to lose my place.

I was showing these pictures to a friend and it would have taken a good half hour to poke our way through the paris1914 site. But thanks to the blogspam page, we were able to enjoy all the photos in the time we had, without having to fumble through some kind of misguided navigation.

Again, I don't disagree with your point about posting original sources, but in this specific case, the blogspam was very beneficial to me at least.

Edit: So I thought to myself, maybe I should give this thing another chance. Once you get one of the photos open, maybe you can just skip from photo to photo right there? Indeed you can, and it even has a keyboard interface: the left and right arrows work just as expected.

But what's all this scrolling? It doesn't just change photos like a slide show, it does an enormous sideways scroll of the whole thing. It's very disorienting visually and not at all fun.
There are no factions. If you're a libertarian, you're a supporter of both ... because liberty is the point.
You are absolutely, 100% right.

Wouldn't want to say anything isn't the same as wouldn't say anything. We do things all the time where we know it's the wrong call, but we want to do it a certain way anyway.

I doubt there's anyone who believes he should have said something more than he. I just get the mindset that clouded things.

I know I should have gone to the gym this week. I didn't. You can probably understand the thinking, moods and circumstances that made that true, but we'd still agree I made the wrong call. That's all I'm saying.
I am embarrassed to say that this scenario is one I hadn't thought of. Fascinating.
> I'll get downvoted for speaking

Only if you say stuff without bothering to back any of it up with evidence, so people can tell if you're getting your information from a real source, or Alex Jones, Natural News, and that merry band of lunatics.
Can anyone explain why Keith leaving the company absolves Square of a potential lawsuit? If the company actually did something illegal, isn't the damage already done and still punishable? Seems there are quite a few missing pieces to this story. In any case it's a shame for all involved.
I'm extremely thankful we were at a hospital when my wife had an emergency c-section. I'm quite sure modern medical facilities and capabilities contributed significantly to us having a healthy baby.

I was thinking this also! The difference between Erlang and an OS seems like little more than device drivers. Moving BEAM into kernel-space would improve the speed of the thread switching and IPC. So Erlang is a particularly good language to try this with.

Also I think this is a good idea in general. With cloud hosting, why run a full Linux OS if you are only going to run a webserver or database shard on it? If the OS could be replaced by a file manager and the runtime code of a single application (with some significant speedup), there are probably a bunch of companies that would be interested.
Cool thanks for sharing and thanks for the feedback. Feel free to put him in touch with us directly I'm at jesse (at) farmlogs.com.
You are most definitely correct that the President can not and should not be able to dictate any policy. That said, the true power of the presidency doesn't lie in executive orders. It lies in his (or hopefully some day, her) ability to inspire people.

Kennedy didn't mandate we go to the moon. He challenged us to do it and we did.

That was the point of the article. It wasn't to tax and spend. It was to simply lay out a significant challenge - whatever that challenge might be - to America and let our entrepreneurs lead the way.
Sorry about the tone, I definitely could have said that part more nicely. To me Java smells like too many abstract interfaces, lots of boilerplate and hard to use build tools. Java was the first language I learned so I may very well be scarred from the experience.
How about Kerlang? Pronounced by adding a k sound to the front of Erlang.
There is a straightforward way to address this situation. It is unfortunate that he either was not aware of it or did not avail himself of it.

Basically any sexual harassment training will tell you that yes, it is in fact okay to have a work place relationship so long as you disclose the relationship, and do not have a "evaluatory position" (meaning that either person is allowed to evaluate the performance of the other).

This was like stuff I was told on day one of working a real job. This sounds like an awful situation, so I hope anyone else in a similar situation realizes that disclosure is the only thing that disarms these sorts of situations.

HR is required to keep such things confidential, and there is nothing necessarily wrong with a work place relationship. And if you do this, what can really go wrong? If your relationship explodes into some dramatic fireball, sure, it sucks, but that's the reason you're in a non-evaluatory role. You may have to work in the same building, but at least you don't have your career path impacted by your ex.
That's super creative! I like :) Good luck
The "bizarre reason" is laziness. You can grade multiple-choice tests with a key. I don't think they really assess anything myself. I think a test like you describe is better but I don't see it in practice at the places I've worked.

Thus I'm not hopeful.

And to be honest, they're gonna get their money from you one way or another. :)
I work for a company and set up QR codes for advertising campaigns. We ran a campaign in a large ad in a national newspaper.

Want to know how many scans the QR code got? 18.
Wow, so much to resonate with. I'm reading this to pass the time while my fiance is measuring her contractions. We're due today. We were lucky to have four 2-hour educational sessions that went through all the various scenarios and what the options (and consequences were) - hopefully everything goes smoothly.

It's probably not the actual birth experience that resonated so much - it was the way the disconnected expectation and sense of intangibility about the lead-up to the birth that was well written. It is/was hard for me to explain to others why I wasn't overtly excited (I am, but in an internal way). Good to hear that others feel this way too.
The proper HR response is to remove the higher ranking officer from an "evaluatory role" and put someone else in charge of determining future promotions, demotions, bonuses, team role, etc.

Let's imagine a horribly messy situation. A professor and a graduate student that works in her lab want to become intimate. That's perfectly fine, so long as the professor gives up the ability to determine if they can graduate, dictate what classes they take, dictate pay, etc. Even cleaner because there is a record that the professor is to not be asked to evaluate performance in the future, so there's less likelihood that the other professor could be influenced.

You at some point do have to assume that people are trying to do things correctly, of course. But the more people there are who are aware of the situation the less likely it is that a conspiracy to cover up abuse of power will occur.
Will the faculty be creating the assessments? I'd wager no. In many places businesses and curriculum-design people weigh in and approve curriculum created by faculty, so I could see those same folks creating assessments.

Perhaps I'm overly pessimistic from my experiences, but I'd bet the tests'll be multiple-choice, just like the UW entrance exams are.

Because it's easier for a machine to grade them.

EDIT: the article does say the faculty will be creating the tests. That does give me hope.
I'm not declaring the guy guilty. I'm saying that your class-warfare based dismissal is silly.

Really, if you've spent much time in a city, you've seen street-level drug trafficking and prostitution. It's not hard to spot. But again, you take this to the absurd. This is not about rockstars ODing at the St. Regis, and it's not about strip searching people before you give them a room. This is about a gov't lawsuit that contended that the motel owner, like anybody else paying attention, could spot this illicit activity and not only failed to ask these guests to leave but also continued renting them rooms! That his property was a blight on the neighborhood. That he had been negligent. The DOJ obviously didn't prove those points to a preponderance of evidence, but I think your reaction here is wanting.

I'm not one for internet debates, so go ahead and have the last word. I chimed in because if somebody just reads the lede in a case like this it sounds awful and unamerican: Private property can be taken for crimes he didn't himself commit? What! But IMO (and in current civil forfeiture law and judicial precedent) there is sound reasoning behind cases like this. Businessmen have had a legal obligation to maintain order and actively cooperate with law enforcement going back through 300 years of common law.

CF laws need reform, but I'm of the opinion that this case is NOT the poster child for that cause that you're making it out to be.

I don't understand the logic there; at least in terms of stopping someone from getting involved: the girls you can help now should be just as, if not more important than the future.

Note, that comes across as snarky via text, but it's not meant to be. I'm just explaining my way of thinking about it. :)
This seems appropriate.
Does trying and failing to conceive create a job-like mentality to sex life? I know it's personal.. but for an aside sex as a task happens to a lot of relationships, without these troubles. Sorry for your troubles.
I'm talking about using social engineering techniques to get him to let his guard down and admit he's pulling something.

"Nice scam you got going here kid" "Thanks" He admitted it was a scam! Get him!

Just an example as to the kind of thing I would imagine private companies would do to get him out of there by technicality, against his own usage of a technicality law.
can't help wondering to what extent the government's war on Manning, Wikileaks, Anonymous was related to Swartz's harsh treatment, whether he was perceived as working with groups actively opposing government policies, and therefore as a hacktivist in the same category as enemies of the state.
Wilson Miner - When We Build
Honestly, there's a whole field of professionals that's designed to deal with problems like these; it's called psychotherapy. It helped me, though not for this exact problem, but for something related.

Unfortunately, this comment will probably get filtered to the bottom but this has to be said:

Since the story of Aaron's passing, this site has been home to a lynch-mob asking for Ortiz's head on a plate. I wish I knew enough about federal prosecutions to say whether or not this one was far different from the norm - hell, I wish I knew enough about depression and suicide to say whether or not the prosecution was the primary reason for this sad turn of events - but, regardless, the users HN have been relentless ... almost as if they wished harm on Carmen Ortiz.

I'm pointing that out for a reason. Bullying and outright harassment come in many forms. The end result of these actions are at times not the result that anyone truly intended even if they imply it with their words/actions. You can't on one hand accuse the feds of being overly aggressive while simultaneously doing the same to Ortiz and her family.

Let the law and the current investigations run their course before there are more unwanted consequences of this tragedy.

I already have too many places where analytic data lands up. I can see a business case in building tools to help me consolidate the data in my facebook engagement stats, my SEM referrals, my email clickthrough rates, my ad impressions, and my page level analytics.... but I don't see why I want to reflect single events into multiple analytic services. Maybe it's because I work with an analytic solution that just captures arbitrary events so I can just log everything in one place, so I'm missing the problem with working with services that are less flexible.
for starters, they could extensively document how the person with more power had absolutely no impact on the other's relationship with the company.
Thanks for those links... I should have guessed that people may have asked that before. To answer your question on why I want to know, basically to research what is the best way for people to check-in at a place (kinda like foursquare) using their smart phones, supported by app or browser.
Actually it looks like URLs do go to google's suggestion service as you type into Chrome's URL box.

I tried typing "http://then and it suggested a UPS package URL and "thenicestplaceontheinter.net". I've not been to either of those pages before (I use Chrome for testing, so I'm not signed into it, etc).
Awesome job guys. Way to go.

Our backtester is event driven. During any closure, there are no events, so we simply "fast forward" through the closure and send your algorithm the next available event.

We provide a facility for working with trailing windows as pandas dataframes, which are updated by the events. You can control whether those trailing windows have NaN values for missing bars, or if values are filled forward. You'd keep the NaNs if you want your algo to be aware of empty bars (stock is held, thinly traded, etc). You keep the fill forward if you want to avoid coding guards on NaNs :).
I think Bret's work is great, don't get me wrong. I just wish some of us who didn't communicate as well got some love too :)

Acadamia has a lot to offer if you have some patience. That 121 PhD thesis is well written and chock full of useful wisdom. Most PhDs are not as interesting (at least to me, everyone has their interests!). Papers are much more digestable though they still have some sort of rigor standard that prevents just outright visionary design.

Keep in mind also that back then there was no youtube, or we didn't know about, it wasn't popular. And no, we didn't really know how to do great interactive webpages either, or embed videos easily in them. The standards are much higher now, and I think we'll see more people follow Bret's lead.
x264 isn't remotely free to you. If you use that encoded video in any business capacity at all that doesn't meet the "free internet content for end users" definition, you're going to hear from them MPEG-LA lawyers about licensing. And note that isn't a license they're offering, just a promise. They can change their mind at any time.

And a quibble about words: h.264 isn't "closed". The standard is well-understood and easily available, and there are free high-quality implementations of both sides of the codec. What you mean to say is that it is "proprietary" and that its use is subject to IP laws and licensing restrictions.
Nice, I like the idea.
