Brudgers makes a good point about the thermal capacitance of masonry below. If you spent much time in old, stone/brick/masonry buildings, they'll feel significantly cooler.

Unfortunately, you correctly observed that October through May is an entirely different animal in this region. All the windows in our home are open currently. We get many opportunities like this through the end of February, tapering off through March and April. By May, things in Florida start to heat up. Most could manage it, but I wouldn't call it comfortable.

In June through September, you can sit on your porch at 10 PM and sweat will stream down your face due to the heat and humidity. It is an insufferable burden to go without air-conditioning in this place during the summer months.

I also suspect that Cuba, being such a narrow strip, and having significant elevations in areas, has a more temperate climate than flat, hot, and wet Florida.

It'd be interesting if you could just apply CSS to title attributes rather than have to add stuff to the DOM to reimplement a basic browser feature. Certainly these types of tooltip libraries look and behave better, but I wonder if it's really the best solution.
Ask HN: Tool to Scan HTML Code of 100's of pages
I need to scan every page on my site for an instance of the "Meta=revisit" tag. Screaming Frog, Xenu, and SEOmoz only scan predefined elements, where I need to search the HTML of every page.

Society is run by people at the edge of the bell curve, if you say that there are less women at the edges then you are saying that it's no big deal we have less women in homeless shelters.

It obviously goes both ways. Deviate too far in the direction of lower IQ and you end up with exponential reduction in means, power and choices. Following your suggestion of a direct correlation between IQ and success as in financial success, it can certainly be argued that men are worse off (and therefore more disparaged by his comments): if you end up with a high IQ, great for you. Go the other direction and your live will be miserable.
Fogbeam Labs[1] are working on Open Source tools to facilitate better knowledge transfer inside organizations. We have an approach that's at the intersection of social networking, bpm, and knowledge management, that we think can help organizations become more productive by doing a better job of sharing, creating and reusing knowledge, and by providing better context for decision making.

Consider NCSettings. It's slicker than SBSettings and doesn't require activator if you're one of the many who have a thing against activator. It builds itself into the notification centre rather than replacing it with its own.
It's probably difficult to think of all of the ways in which your code base can be exploited from the get-go.
Please reread my last sentence above: I don't find the arguments of these skeptics convincing. In several cases I think they're quite wrong. However, I also think they have a decent understanding of the scientific context and that their arguments are quite likely made in all sincerity. The point of the original list was not to validate the position of these scientists, but to observe the fact that there is a small number of scientists who hold those contrarian positions.

Just because I think they're wrong doesn't mean they don't exist or that they're necessarily lying.

In fact, they have a good incentive not to do sinister things. If they do, and other cryptographers find out, they will lose a lot of standing in the academic community.
I think the cash economy is much larger than people just buying drugs.

Estimates of the size of shadow economies are between 14% and 22% of GDP in the developed world. [1] I'm just guessing that's significantly larger than the drug trade.

I disagree about the privacy issues as well, in some countries in Europe people still remember governments using records to round people up.

You should write more. Me and my wife are planning to have our first child this year and I'm having trouble finding info about how to raise one of our kind.

Last month I went to a little girl's birthday party. The invitation asked for a damn toy-stove for present. I bought a tablet, filled with nice content for kids and gave it instead. The father was not pleased at all, said that it was a girl and her 'femininity' should be cherished and if his daugher wanted a doll, she was getting a doll.
The "no witnesses" rule is a twist I haven't used.

My experience playing Assassin is that it overshadowed other parts of life. Like paying attention in class. Although a very avid gamer, I try to avoid playing games that have negative externalities (other than time consumption and acceptable hardware/software costs, of course). If the game intrudes into the rest of my life, and the intrusion feels negative, CUT IT.
I don't get it why Coursera can't fix its video player. It's their core technology right?

I can't resume videos from where I left, every video just opened for 1 sec. is considered 'watched', to close the video popup on iPad I need to play 'find a close button' game and overall the user experience of watching videos sucks a big way.

Are you on a linux machine? You could use the command 'egrep -ri "revisit" * > occurences.out" This will search the entire content of each page, and tell you what files they're in, and what they say.

On a Windows machine, just use the Search functionality.
All US Carriers at least allow unlocking as long as you own the phone. Emphasis on own (paid off your contract so you are no longer "renting" it or you paid for it outright). That would include all GSM phones and all Global phones on CDMA based carriers (such as the Galaxy S3 or iPhone 5).

Come on, guys (and gals).

If we accepted that "Beards of Experience" is sexist, we would have to accept that it's also racist (many Asian men can't grow beards like the guy on gun.io) and maybe homophobic. Don't you think it would get ridiculous at that point?

Paying $200,000 to Program
Hi, I hope this isn't too random, but your comment made me smile—please keep doing what you're doing. I was raised by a medical doctor father and a "geeky" older brother—dad was always sharing cool science things with me, and my brother got me into pursuits like chess, video games, etc. I was a dorky girl in a rural mountain town but my family still drove me five hours to computer camp every summer, where I first started learning to program, because fostering my dorky interests mattered that much to them. Now I'm 22, nearing graduation in a great computer science program, headed to a fabulous startup next year, and I couldn't be happier—I don't think I'd be here if I hadn't had such great encouragement at home.

that feels very blatant starting with the paragraph containing «"Grandpa" Wen Jiabao».

I don't disagree, but would just note in passing that "Grandpa" is is a common Chinese nickname for ex-premier Wen, and one with quite positive connotations in Chinese culture.
Maybe female devs saw it, and decided they didn't want to be the target of that behaviour, and decided not to contribute to tech conferences?

Please don't lump everyone wanting to JB into the same (laughable, to me) SBSettings or the even more presumptuous pirating use cases. For example, I'm in Canada, and my favourite music service is Grooveshark (Spotify is not available). The only way to get the Grooveshark iOS app is through jailbreaking.
Yes, pixel noise can be annoying. But it can be easily removed with a couple of clicks in Photoshop. Even simply resizing the pattern to 50% (some of the patterns are HUGE, and do you really need Retina resolution in your background texture?) will get rid of most pixel noise. Subtle Patterns are licensed under CC-BY-SA, so you can modify them as you see fit. It would be cool if OP's tool had the option to apply a few simple transformations to the patterns, such as CSS background-size.
This is an important point.

In a society where girls are pushed not to continue, the minority that does continue is likely heavily weighted towards the ones who would have done better than the average girl. Therefore girls doing better is evidence of the selection process that got girls into that sample, and not the average abilities that girls have.
What was she supposed to do? Treat alleged suicide risks specially?

Flight risks are treated differently: they have different or non-existent bail. Systemic risk cases are treated differently: they enjoy a reduced likelihood of indictment and incur non-judicial penalties.
It is acceptable if you want to look like the geekish guy in town (not to mention one of the luckiest). It is not ok if you wish to hookup, I cannot image a pickup line that starts... "hey Pamela, I did a reserve google image search of your face and found out that you use pretty neat lingerie" :/

Pretty much any accredited university that has a CS program should be fine. It's not the school, it's the student. If you want to optimize for value, go to a small state school in your home state (assuming US). Then take the initiative to expand your education beyond what you get from your school, based on your interests. There's TONS of free educational material available online, a zillion dead-tree books out there on every topic imaginable, all sorts of great stuff at Coursera, Udacity, etc. There are all sorts of open source projects to participate in, forums to ask / answer questions in, research papers to read, code to study, etc., etc., etc. You can become as good as you want to be, and you don't need to go to Stanford or Harvard to do it.

Also, if there is a hackerspace near you, find it and join it. Get involved in all the crazy stuff that's probably going on there. I can't speak for any other hackerspace, but at SplatSpace, the range of projects people are working on is mind-boggling. You have a guy doing a system based on Inductive Logic Programming in Prolog, to generate candidate molecules for new drugs, and then reason out the metabolic interactions and try to proactively find compounds that will be useful. You have several people building and operating 3D printers. There's a guy building a coilgun (OK, that's me). You have a guy working with a researcher at UNC doing "forced evolution" research. Another guy is doing something with an interactive fiction platform. Somebody else just built a Raspberry Pi based tabletop form-factor game cabinet. Somebody recently built a Mantis PCB mill. One guy is working to fully automate his home brewing setup. Seriously, the knowledge, the vibe, everything available at a hackerspace can be awe inspiring.

Or is this asking too much of a pre-graduate program?

Don't ask it of the program, ask it of yourself. Of course, talk to your professors and see if they can help. I imagine many (most?) will be VERY happy to help a motivated student who wants to go beyond the standard curriculum and do interesting stuff.
See his reply to mine above :)
The two points aren't necessarily contradictory. Society isn't run by geniuses in the top 0.01%. Your engineers, scientists, politicians, CEO's, etc, largely fall in the top 10%, maybe the top 5%, but not necessarily the top 0.1%. If you look at sex differences in e.g. Mensa membership (top 2% of IQ) you'll see a roughly 2:1 representation of males versus females.

So even if you take Summers bell curve references at face value, they're an argument for why there are so few female Einsteins, not why there are so few female Congressmen or CEO's. I think if 35% of NASA engineers and 40% of F500 CEO's were women, you wouldn't see the same consternation about the representation of women in these fields.
I understand the sentiment, but I'm personally skeptical that jailtime in particular is the solution. I also have the same instinctive reaction to "we jail people for X, but not [worse Y]?!", but I think in many of those cases, when I think about it more, I'd rather jail fewer people to equalize that, rather than more.

And when it comes to tanking the economy, I'd like to figure out how it happened and put systemic reforms in place, more than I really want specific heads to roll. There are some well-run countries that don't tolerate corruption that don't jail people very often— they just see to it that anyone corrupt is shown the door. If you can do that consistently, it hardly matters if you show them the door into jail or a quiet retirement. I.e. keeping a hold on the situation directly, rather than trying to deter malfeasance with jail time.

Something to consider: For an employer, hiring is a risky business. You are now a known quantity so you should feel comfortable asking for a higher salary than someone of off the street with "equivalent experience" IMO.

As you may have discovered, instead of just appreciating the work you did for cheap money, they will be somewhat taken aback when asked to pay market rate. It's a human thing I think.

My ideal s-expression syntax would allow you to replace some brackets with whitespace. For instance, your function would become:

define (pointless-function a z)
let*
numbers (map (lambda (n) (* n 2)) (range a z))
multiple-of-three? (lambda (n) (= 0 (mod n 3)))
multiples-of-three (filter multiple-of-three? numbers)
printf "Your numbers are: ~s~%" multiples-of-three

Obviously there are some down-sides, but the main idea is that the mapping should have no knowledge of the language details, and be a pure s-expression transform. I really should explore the idea more. I have no idea whether the above example can even be uniquely parsed.
Depending on where you live, you're in a strong position and he's surprisingly in a weak position.

This is your career, and your salary. He won't think about this moment 2 minutes after you agree. Use AngelList to find similar offers. Then decide on the very high end of what you want - say that's $55k (picking a number). Say "I'm worth $55k and can bring much more in value to you. I'll first do these three things to make you more money. ...."

Consider outsourcing your customer support to a company that specializes in it.

If you just hire two full-time employees, you're still going to be picking up the slack on weekends or when someone gets sick, goes on vacation, or resigns.

A vendor that specializes in customer service will be able to train multiple employees on your product and rotate them as necessary to give you 16/7 or 24/7 coverage if that is what you need.

Set the goal of having your customer service vendor handle 100% of first-line support inquiries. They should have a manual that tells them what to do in any conceivable situation that could arise.

Obviously, it's a lot of work to write this manual, or even to think up/research all of the possible problems a customer might have. Start by just identifying the top 4 or 5 issues and writing down what you currently do when someone has that issue.

Give this info to the CS vendor and tell them that it is their job to maintain the manual and to contact you whenever a situation arises that is not covered by the manual. When they call you, tell them what to do, and insist that they record this in the manual and handle all future situations of that type in the same way.

You should never do customer support unless either you like doing it, or because you are concerned about getting out of touch with your customers' wants, needs, and desires.

And if you really want your business to grow, you should find someone else to write code and fix bugs for you, too.

You're not a developer anymore. You're an entrepreneur. Yes, you can be both, but you can't simultaneously be excellent at both.

You've figured out how to get 300,000 users for your games, and you're apparently making enough money to pay for employees, which is phenomenal. Wouldn't all of that talent and skill that you have be better spent identifying new products to create, new ways to monetize your existing products, strategic partnerships you could form, new ways to get customers, etc.?

An excellent book on this subject is "The E-Myth Revisited" by Michael Gerber. He talks about how a business needs three personalities: a technician, a manager, and an entrepreneur. Most people who start businesses get stuck in the "technician" role all day and keep working in their business instead of on their business. A successful, sustainable business has employees who do most (or all) of the day-to-day work and supervision, with the founder/leader free to think and act strategically.
Men and women commit rape and are raped in roughly equal numbers, and that is not including prison rape. When do include that, men are the majority of the victims.

The CDC's 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, which looked at society at large and excluded the prison population, found that 1.1% of women and 1.1% or men surveyed were raped in the prior 12 months.

98% of women who had been raped identified a man as their attacker and 80% of the men who had been raped identified a woman as their attacker. This works out to men being 60% of rapists and women being 40% of rapists.

Here is an analysis with all the calculations laid out and tied back to the data tables in the NISVS report: http://www.genderratic.com/p/836/manufacturing-female-victim...

Here is a link to the data tables with the relevant figures circled: http://imgur.com/a/aw0eU

Now, the NISVS's executive summary does not tell this story. It tells the usual story of rape being something men overwhelmingly to do women. The way it does that is by defining rape to be 'being penetrated against your will', excluding 'being made to penetrate', which is what a female rapist would do to a man.

Nevertheless, the study does track how many men were made to penetrate (which it categorizes as 'other, sexual assault'), so it is possible to correct the definition of rape to one that doesn't erase female on male rape ('made to have sex against your will'), and when you do, rape ceases to be a gendered crime.

So yes, I can imagine what it would be like for men to be raped as often as women are. Now, can you imagine what it would be like if female rape victims, like male rape victims, were defined out of existence, and offered no recognition, or help?
Last July I signed up (in Boston) with Comcast for a 20MB (download) internet connection for $35/mo. for the first six months. I knew that was an introductory offer and that it'd be $49/mo. after six months.

What I didn't know (because they didn't mention it at the time) is that after one year it will automatically go up to $65/mo.

$65/mo. for 20MB service is robbery in the US in 2013.

Don't be surprised if your rate doubles after one year.

It seems thats how our law system works today: purely quid pro quo. Knowingly give too good ratings to a bunch of toxic mortgages? Who cares. Give the government a bad rating? We're coming for you!
Ok, I think I understand your position. Let me ask what may be a tricky question.

The same body of science that you appeal to has noted that relative to the geologic record we are 'overdue' (or 'about due' depending on who you read) for a glacial event (aka an Ice Age). Given that, how would you score the sequence of events that humans managed to scale back their CO2 emissions and the world then subsequently plunges into an ice age which probably destroys civilization as we know it?

You may find that question is not as much a straw man as it first appears (or a false dichotomy), ice ages are a perfectly valid climate 'state' on our planet. Some literature would have you believe that the planet is usually an ice ball and periodically warms, but I haven't found those papers as compelling.

However, that we cannot, with certainty, rule out another ice age occurring as the 'normal' course of events suggests to me that the next millenium's climate is going to be different regardless of our actions. So I tend to favor a policy where we invest in survivability and mitigation and research, in that order.
It is insulting when people attack males as a single group based on some edge cases.
