THEY ATTAINED THAT STRENGHT BY ROBBING, DEFRAUDING SINGLE MOTHERS AND FAMILIES WORLDWIDE FOR OVER 10 YEARS. THEY COMMITTED TREASON AGAINST THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD.

GOD BURNS ME TO WAKE YOU ALL UP. READ AND REREAD WHAT I WROTE AS THEY HAVE PUT A SPIRIT OF WITCHCRAFT OVER US AND ADDED TO THAT THE HIGH DOSAGE OF DRUGS IN OUR WATER, FOOD AND IN THE EARTH.
I agree. It's not everything, but perseverance is the difference maker, much like (a positive) attitude.
Thanks! It's indeed similar, but twiDAQ is built around Twitter activity / performance, whereas we are a completely standalone exchange market. We don't consider ourselves a social media site: our end goal is to engage users with real-world, offline properties, and we're using stock-trading as a metaphor for this engagement.
TIME IS SHORT. GOD IS WARNING US AS HE DID IN THE TIME OF HITLER.
THEY PUT CAMERAS IN OUR STREETS. DEMAND NO DRONES, TEAR ALL THEY INSTALLED TO MONITOR US. THEY MONITOR US AND INVADED OUR COMPUTERS, PHONES. ALL THE COMPUTERS, PHONES, TVS ALL CAME ALREADY WITH PRE-INSTALLED EQUIPMENT TO MONITOR US. THEY HEAR ALL WE SAY AND WRITE, THEY ARE THE DEVILS FROM HELL.
They think we are hopeless and gullible.
THEY PLOT AGAINST US AND OUR FAMILIES TO SWALLOW US.

THEY SHOULD BE JAILED, ALL WALL STREET, ALL BANKERS THAT ALLOWED THE TRICKERY WITH THOSE DEMONS FROM HELL. THEY CREATED THE NIGHTMARE AND TO ADD TO IT, THEY HACKED INTO ALL THE BROKERS WORKING IN PPP, TRADE PROGRAMS, BANK INSTRUMENTS, OIL,GOLD, IRON ORE, DIAMONDS ETC. AND FOR OVER 10YEARS SYPHONED ALL THEIR TRANSACTIONS BY HACKING INTO THEM AND THROWING MANY ON THE STREETS.
WALL STREET AND THEM HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO BE GUILTY BUT LIKE USUAL, THE FEDS HUSHED THE WHOLE THING, AS THEY DO WITH THE MURDERS, THE ANONYMOUS HACKERS, WALL STREET,
BANKS LAUNDERING HUGE FUNDS AND ALL THE MESS THAT THE FEDS PROHIBIT THE INVESTIGATIONS. WHAT A BUNCH OF CROOKED GANGSTERS.

ALL OF YOU WHO ARE IN AUTHORITY AND HAVE NOT REMOVED THESE GANGSTERS WILL ANSWER TO GOD BECAUSE IT IS NOT FUNNY THE BLACK GROSS OBAMA PLAN THEY HAVE RESERVED FOR US.

CLINTON WOMAN IS A LIAR, SHE WAS THERE BECAUSE THE EXECUTION HAD TO BE MONITORED BY HER. GOD KNOWS
WHAT HAPPENED, HE SAW.

ON THE INSISTANCE OF FRANCK, I TOOK THE WRONG PARTNER BILL TRINCHE VAN BOETZELAER THAT WAS WITH THE FEDS AND TREASURY.
THEYROBBED ME, BECAUSE THEY PREYED ON ME BACKLISTED ME AND BLOCKED ME IN THE BANKS BECAUSE THEY ARE GANGSTERS, EVILDOERS AND BECAUSE THEY ROBBED ME AND WANT ME TO SHUT UP AND TAKE IT BUT THE THIEVES WILL GET IT GOD SAW WHAT THEY DID TO ME AND THE WHOLE WORLD OF BROKERS, ROBBERY, MURDERS. IT IS AWFUL.
I AM TOTALLY APPALLED THAT SUCH ABUSE CAN CONTINUE WITHOUT ANY AGENCIES, NEWSPAPERS, JUDGES,GOVERNMENTS VINDICATING US FOR SO MANY YEARS, OVER 10 YEARS.
Texas Republicans are an embarrassment. Consider this excerpt published in their 2012 Party Platform. I know it's old news for some, but still worth remembering.

"Knowledge-Based Education – We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values
clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based
Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging
the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority."
with the new ES6 coming , people from python are going to feel a lot of confusion , since some new functionalities are inspired by python but are in reality different from the python implementation,like modules , generators , ... Javascript has always been like that ( thinking of "this" that is totally different from "this" of Java for instance , let's not even talk about the new class keywork which will be very confusing too , for those who believe they can just go the java way with js from now on ). But i'm quite happy with the language ,it feels like self, the revenge ...
I work at a small startup of five people and the emotional labor role is taken care of by a man and the pay is lower than that of the developers (three of us). The reason the pay is lower has nothing to do with the fact that he is performing emotional labor and has everything to do with supply/demand and scaling of emotional labor.

The truth is that there are very few emotional labor jobs in tech and programmers try hard to keep it that way because 90% of costs are people-related, and the number of people qualified from emotional labor and interested in those jobs is high. This is the exact opposite of the situation with developer jobs where the demand for talent is sky-high and the supply of truly capable developers is low.

The other problem with emotional labor is that it doesn't scale. An employee only has so much time in a day to handle emotional labor tasks. It can't really be automatized. Once the emotional laborers you have are at the limits of the emotional labor they are doing, you need to add more emotional laborers. This means that the money allocated for emotional labor gets distributed among more and more people until developers figure out how to automate any work of the emotional laborers so headcount doesn't balloon.
Why would anyone start a blog so few people care to read?
Automakers are tech companies too, just other kind of tech. And I may be biased, but driverless cars are a software problem.
"I'm guessing that Fox/Glee either doesn't know how stupid this makes them look or they believe that any publicity is good publicity."

What exactly do you predict this publicity will do to Glee? Are its fans going to walk out on it? Will the Cyber Police come and take its producers away?
I would prefer a car company that actually understands how to make and sell millions of safe and reliable products. Google has has a history of failing when it comes to shipping high quality hardware products.
I completely adored this! Furthermore, I can't come up with any reason why the Vine datatype won't be huge. It's Motion Tumblr... it's an alloy of video and anigif... it's silent... it auto-loops... it's extraordinarily boredom resistant.
I wonder exactly what violations they're dealing with. My son's junior high is full of kids using Instagram. They see it as an underage Facebook. That could be it. Or is there some wave of people using an assumed name.

Maybe Google's Recipe microdata?

I think it's important to realize exactly what Fox is (regularly) doing here.

Fox/Glee finds a popular song. Fox/Glee wants to do a cover. Fox/Glee searches the internet to find a popular cover of the song. Fox/Glee does their cover in the same style, by having musicians play/record a note-for-note re-creation of that popular cover. Fox/Glee pays mechanical royalties to the original songwriter/publishing-company, pays absolutely nothing to the arranger that came up with the stylized cover version, and refuses to acknowledge them.

This is 100% legal, no matter how creative the arranger was in coming up with their cover. If the cover artist was granted a mechanical license, the only copyright protection they were granted was to their sound recording.

This is also not the first time it has happened. In episode 1, Glee's cover of Don't Stop Believing was practically identical to a famous a cappella arrangement (from a college a cappella group that released a cd and won some awards from it). There was another "regionals" number that was largely identical to another similarly famous a cappella arrangement.

It's lousy behavior and I think they deserve every bit of blowback for being poor citizens, but it is technically legal.

(Big asterisk: There is reason to believe that Fox actually took Coulston's karaoke version of BGB and recorded vocals over it. This, in contrast, would be a copyright infringement.)
While it would have been nice for Glee to acknowledge Jonathan's influence, an arranger can only claim copyright when the original songwriter has granted that privilege to said arranger, which I don't believe was the case when Coulton recorded his cover.
I thought Heroku for cooking would be that I, as a user, upload a recipe, and the food is cooked and delivered to me as a completed dish. If anything this is more like Arduino for cooking, maybe? An accessible jumping off point for an intimidating task?
Notes from a production MongoDB deployment (2010)
I can see the page. Color changing background is annoying. Now all works, tho. Tx.
Standard rant from someone who hears "driverless cars" and responds without investigating.
How is this better than mention?
Yep. For bonus points: even if you won an outside scholarship, they'd reduce your merit award by 50% of the total. (e.g. If you win an essay writing competition and pick up a $5k scholarship from a private organization like your local Boy Scout troop, they'd reduce your loan by $2.5k and your merit grant by $2.5k.)

n.b. for all current and future college attendees: this policy is negotiable. My mother called the financial aid office, pitched a fit, and got a one-time exception to it about eight different times. I was embarrassed by this, but only because I was young and stupid, since ten years later I certainly care more about the ~$10k of debt that I don't have much more than my status as a quiet, go-with-the-flow cog as measured by a financial aid officer whose name I don't know and who has almost certainly forgotten those calls ever happened.

As someone who has always viewed web technology as trivial/frivolous when compared to something as noble as biotech, I for one, out of genuine curiosity and with a goal of possibly updating my beliefs, would be interested to hear about what kind of impact the improvement of a rating system would have.
> I'm not sure that Google's modified Prius will be as enjoyable (when driving) as a BMW 1 Series for instance.

We're talking about self-driving cars.
> Why am I being charged with opinions that I haven't even expressed on psychosis?

The article is about a psychotic illness. It's reasonable to assume your comment is about psychosis.
At least not the last part. In any case, I wouldn't be handling these files as root.

Silent? Vine videos have audio unless I have misread your post.
That shows how narrow your thinking is.

Driverless cars involve so much more than just an algorithm. It is the hardware integration, safety and reliability, regulatory and compliance and the worldwide scalability of the approach.

Google may understand the algorithm but they have nothing to contribute elsewhere.

Fair enough, there is a difference between non-intervention and isolationism. However, whatever you call it, that position is much more divergent from mainstream opinions than libertarian economics.

Hey you may want to check out Fork the Cookbook [0]. It was there long before you asked the question.

I appreciate this well-argued piece of persuasive writing for not choosing MySQL, but the premise is surprising -- I don't recall seeing, on Hacker News or elsewhere, any writeups from companies that chose MySQL then ran into significant problems they had to architect around, nor writeups from companies that chose MySQL then had to rip everything out to switch to something in the same family of solutions (Postgres, Oracle, etc).
You watched that video and found it be credible? You are the fodder for their tomfoolery. Now I have nothing against pranks, but there is a legitimate cause here. Scientific papers from public funding should be freely available. Superhero gibberish, while entertaining, will not help.
One important characteristic of the map function is that it can be used reversibly. For example, (partial map inc) is inverted by (partial map dec). If I want to map over a collection by a function that takes the entire collection as an argument I'd rather use some function other then map to avoid confusion.
If his antics really distracted the TSA so that "nefarious actors" could exploit the situation, the state of our airport security is in grave danger.
When I started the company we were targeting the big guys, the game has changed, now we have come up with a CRM where SMB's can subscribe them for INR.300 per month.
It's interesting, but not particularly surprising. There's only so much that can be done with a fine arts degree. My girlfriend started off school as a Art history major because she loved art, but quickly changed once she realized there was essentially no future in the field unless you wanted to stay in academia.
I haven't been paying much attention to the legal details but I love that Sir Mix is getting royalties from this (partly because this stops the debate from descending into a "everything should be free" tangent).

Edit: after taking the 30 seconds to find and listen to an excerpt of Coulton's song, I can reasonably weigh in on the debate: Fuck Glee
My problem with this idea is that I don't care if people on facebook know I hit the snooze button and I figure that they would block such notices as spam anyways.

Why not just have a more annoying alarm clock? Or one that is harder to snooze?
You need a better icon. Icons are really important on iOS.
We launched Fork the Cookbook about the same time as Forking Recipes too. You might want to check it out: http://forkthecookbook.com

We try not to call it Github for Recipes because that's not our target market (although other people have called us Github for Recipes)

We blog over at http://theforkingchef.com so you might also want to check that out.

New MySpace done with Node + Express
Why can't you change your username at HN?
A little while ago I started replacing my username at (semi-)professional websites. With a less childish username. Since I consider HN as one of those websites I would like to change it here as well. There is, however, no option to do so at my account page. Why?
I did a programmatic hosting survey of 300+ startups funded by Y Combinator just a few months ago. Of those, unless they're one of the 7-8 whose main site was being served entirely from a CDN, none are hosted on Microsoft Azure. Amazon EC2, Rackspace, Softlayer and Linode together hosted about 3/4 of the companies.
BTW that depends on who you consider users. It isn't relevant in the US but in many other countries a lot of users prefer dual SIM devices. The reason is usually precisely because of connection costs - which SIM to use is picked on a call by call basis.

It is hard to find current dropped call statistics but the random bits from random dates do show the US being worse off (~5+% versus < 2%).
"That's why anybody does it."

No, it's not. In this case, it's true but to say that it's why anybody does it is wrong. Many people throughout history killed themselves for a cause.
A number of people associated with anonymous have already gone to jail, but I guess that doesn't fit very well with your "no true scotsman" argument.
Not sure what Quirky's trying to do here, but if their default action is to impulsively picket competitors who legally release products, it's safe to say I'm not going to buy products exclusively offered by Quirky.

I assume the intention is to appear as if the underdog getting shafted, but it just looks like a highly-funded company is using its VC muscle to bitch and moan.

OXO's broom is arguably an improvement on Quirky's "invention," and for Quirky to consider it IP is silly. It's like Sony suing Samsung because they both offer 50" TV sets.
"Most of the "elite" schools offer fairly generous need based aid. Yes, there are problems like some middle class families getting caught in the gaps."

That's a huge problem. The "need" calculation takes into account things like your parents' savings for retirement, as if they're going to cash out their 401k to put you through school. The effect is to lock out the vast majority of students whose parents were responsible, but not rich.

"but there's a strong correlation between a school's quality and the income level of the school district."

Absolutely. That's probably the biggest source of institutionalized classism (and racism) in our society.
Google Maps. The idea that a car maker is better positioned than Google to pull this out is silly; it's mostly about understanding geographical/geospatial data best, not so much how to make cars; that's already pretty well researched and understood and Google can partner with cars makers in an Android like model if necessary.
> Certain "journalists" are seriously jumping the gun if they assume GCC is just going to shrivel up and die. In addition to mainline, it is used privately in a hundred different branches, several of which are commercially supported (e.g. Codesourcery, Google Native Client) and many the public will never know about.

Clang is designed to be highly compatible with GCC-dependent projects, from extensions to command-line arguments. What's to stop them from just switching to Clang if GCC's complexity and lack of documentation prevent it from remaining competitive?

The Nexus 4 was a huge disaster, but it did prove that people are very interested in a no-carrier subsidy device at those prices. Whether Google is willing to get it's act together and provide decent customer service is another matter.
It has been done! In particular a look at the "quack" that Coulton used in his version (instead of cussing like Mix-a-lot did): http://geeklikemetoo.blogspot.com/2013/01/about-that-quack.h...

He also points to a great example indicating that the beginning was likely edited too: http://imgur.com/a/F0HTP#1

Also, if you're someone that trusts their own ears and has headphones, you can hear Glee's in your left earbud, and Coulton's in your right, in this pairing: https://soundcloud.com/suudo/joco-vs-glee-baby-got-back
How Amazon sellers turn a profit selling books for one cent
Wow this is an incredibly extensive list. Definitely wouldn't have thought of little things like a safe or acoustic panels for calls. Well done!
This might be the worst written article I have ever read. What the heck is this guys point?

I'll tell you why it's being done by Google. A computer driving a car is an artificial intelligence problem. Google is fundamentally an artificial intelligence company.

Car companies are not artificial intelligence companies. They're not even software companies - just look at antiquated the average stereo/navigation system is in even the latest, most expensive cars.

I'd definitely rather have Google do it and license it back to the car companies than have the car companies do it on their own.

The software is going to be solved in the next 5-10 years. The hard part after that is dropping the sensor price enough to make this work (a lot of the SICK lasers are $35k+ still). But 10-15 years from now, we are going to have self driving cars for sale, no question in my mind.
Interesting read.

What is not measured, can not be controlled.
Carmen Ortiz is thinking of running for the US Senate
i have no idea why you're being downvoted. auto and avionics companies go through hell to test this stuff at a level that involves the hardware and how it integrates with the software. this just doesn't happen in most software companies.

this is much more than a software problem. i've heard of people verifying opcode behavior on avionics processors to determine the correct implementation of the hardware - when your software relies on it it's fair game.

i don't doubt that google could do this if they made it a priority. but it's a huge issue that encompasses more than a "software algorithm." if the collisions sensors degrade over time doesn't matter if the software works.
Nice to see also some positive (or rather balanced) posts about Mongo.
It's hip. There's no real point to doing this. In terms of fixed costs and performance per watt, x86 is better. Even if this is for education, it'd be cheaper and easier to simply buy a single core i7 and build a virtual cluster on the machine.

The pi's real value is in the hardware decoder, the hdmi out, the gpio pins, and size of the device.
Hey, at Fork the Cookbook, we're doing just that right now! It's one of the primary reasons why we said Search is Hard [0]. And we're working hard on search.

We've also put a lot of time and effort into researching the licensing issues, as well as design issues: how to present certain things like diffs, and stuff. So if you like, you should check out Fork the Cookbook: http://forkthecookbook.com
