Yeah, it exists.

And for your second question: "gorilla arm" depends on where you have your hands-- if you keep them below your heart, you can gesture almost indefinitely without fatigue.

This is obvious for people who use a lot of hand gestures when talking, or those who speak with sign language.
> Aaron Swartz's problem was that he was NOT factually innocent of all the charges considered in that case.

Just like those guys from HSBC. And they did their time too. Oh, wait.
Yes, the opinions of one pop-sci writer are just as well-studied and well-understood as something that has been carefully examined since 1543.

Your jerkiness aside, his reply to that seems clear and cogent. In particular, this seems like a reasonable criticism: http://nusi.org/the-science/review-of-the-literature/

It's not even clear to me that the post you link and his reply are necessarily at odds. A calorie-metering approach and a shift in diet could both be effective weight-loss strategies in that they would be acting at different points in the process and using different resources.

Why the need to jab at people who do CrossFit? Sure, there are people in the mix that coach in ways that damage the body but there are plenty of people/coaches/gyms who focus on building sustainable athleticism (read: not breaking people's bodies).

You're welcome to your own opinion, of course, I can't change that; but what you wrote is just as silly as someone saying that they hold "black/white/asian" people in very low regard.

Are you talking about performance issues as in visual lag, or performance issues as in "the list is empty for a while", because I experience neither, but a friend of mine had issues where no suggestions would show up for a while, but he relied upon them for some reason, and it annoyed him.
I'd guess desktop browsers will eventually get around to supplying similar overscroll-events. (Looks like Chrome already offers an elastic overscroll visual effect... so maybe there are events there, if you know what to look for?)
That eInk-based device you want won't happen until eInk refresh rates improve by a lot - they list an image update time of 120ms for monochrome, and up to 980ms for color. That needs to improve by at least an order of magnitude before it can be considered responsive enough for any direct-manipulation application.
EmployTown Interview with 13 year Old Ideya Founder Shalin Shah
Very interesting. About two weeks ago I coded up this one http://www.samsreminder.com/ in a weekend for fun. (Not really meant to be a startup, but just a service that could be helpful to a few folks.) It is an almost-email-only solution.
It's hard to take this post serious??? There are soooo many reasons not to do that. I can assume you don't live in the valley or anywhere there is a shortage of developers.

Biggest one:

More expensive for the company initially and way less secure. Talk about telegraphing to your competition what it would take to poach your top employees!

You would end up with 80% of your staff believing they were underpaid (even if that was not even close to true--perspective is reality)
Plea bargaining shouldn't be completely thrown out. It provides a way to save costs, gives prosecutors an important tool bring down criminal organizations by allowing them to bargain for testimony against the principals from peripheral members, and gives defendants who are genuinely remorseful a way to reduce their sentences.

But the Supreme Court should take a look at where the Constitutional boundaries for plea bargaining practices lie. Having a maximum multiplier would be a good idea: If a plea bargain for N days in jail is offered, no more than 3N days can be sought at trial. (Of course there has to be some way to convert different punishments into equivalent "currency" for this conversion.) The point is to keep defendants from pleading out due to pure risk management considerations, which makes a mockery of the justice system by turning it into a high-stakes poker game, and deprives defendants of due process by coercing them into giving up their rights.
Switched to a different doctor and went for a consultation. Complained about by frequent sore throats. He looked in and said, we should take these out. (This wasn't in US but in Europe)
I'm not sure what you mean by 'forking the entire codebase'.

Even if Rails3, though, Rails supported multi-threaded request dispatching IF you had an app server stack that supported it.

In Rails3, you just had to explicitly turn it on with `config.threadsafe!`. Rails4 makes that the default, always on. That's really the only difference. There are at least a few concurrency-related bugs that have been fixed in Rails4 (I'm actually not sure how many), but even Rails3 was officially documented to do multi-threaded concurrent request dispatch just fine. (Actually even Rails 2.2 was!)

Finding a mature, reliable, well-documented app server stack that supports multi-threaded concurrent request dispatch may be harder. I can not say which do and which don't, but there are at least some potential options (including puma, which, if I understand it right, has multi-threaded concurrent request handling as part of it's original core use case).

I AM hoping that Rails4's "multi-threaded request dispatch on by default" situation will make the community pay more attention to this use case, result in more app servers supporting it first-class robustly, and any remaining bugs around concurrency being found and fixed. While Rails3 was documented to support this anyway (since Rails 2.2!), it has been mostly ignored by the community, for some reason.

(Sadly, while Passenger Enterprise 4 will support multi-threaded concurrent request dispatch, the Passenger folks are intentionally reserving this feature for Enterprise, the free one won't)
That was just an example clearly illustrating my point.

I'd probably offer you a lot less if it were real - say 10-15 million.
Wow this is great! It would be nice to see Facebook as a supported app since it's useful for dev teams.
Many of these home mods result in a runaway rifle, where it doesn't stop firing when the trigger is released. It only stops when it malfunctions, or runs out of ammo.

Any pointers for getting started?
Prison is a ridiculous punishment for most crimes.

It does little to prevent crime; it does little to prevent recidivism; it does nothing to rehabilitate people; it's fantastically expensive.

There are a small number of people who need to be locked away to protect society.

Putting Swartz in jail was just an opportunity to wave a flag - "Strong on crime, strong on the causes of crime" and all that nonsense.

I need a tech cofounder in Sydney, Australia to help build a geolocation app that already has the business, wireframes, design etc in place.

I think the reason sometimes for not making the location clear, apart from assuming maybe that most of the jobs are in the US, is that sometimes there's the intention of relocation. Especially if you intend to apply to YC you may be open to relocating yourself?

I'm not sure- just a thought.
To be honest I just trust chromium (and chrome) more. I am not even a sure why. Sort of gives me a sense of reliability, security and stability.

I had performance issues with Firefox in the past, though, but I doubt that's it.

I guess what make a me feel all tingly inside is the GUI, which I love.
> You can be convicted of a felony for expressing an opinion about how to improve goverment?

I read the indictment and I'm pretty sure it talked about something about evading network bans and hooking computers up directly to network switches. Either way though, the conviction would come from the jury, not Ortiz, something which people always seem to conveniently leave out.

The manifesto is one of the things the prosecutors use to determine if this is "just a kid on a joyride" or a repeat-offender-to-be. As such, why would they not consider that in their determination of whether to bring charges or not?

Is it your thought that someone can post an open letter saying that they intend to bring about forcible change to the law of the land, by taking matters into their own hands if necessary, and have that letter get no response from the one branch of government charged with enforcing those same laws?

And am I the only one who has noticed that he was never actually charged with piracy or copyright infringement? The ends don't justify the means, that leads only to a world where might alone makes right. By all means, open that access, but don't break into networks to do so.
I think person in Aaron's position most definitely would have been impacted by the conviction

Yeah, in a positive way. Here is a guy that stood up for what he believed in and for the most part had support from other techies. By all accounts he was also a very smart and productive kid. Companies would have been lining up to hire him, if for no other reason than to thumb their nose at the feds.
To me, it was the UI and magnitudes of toolbars that would come with every addon (even the useful ones) that would then need manual disabling, and the need to restart browser over and over again (at times due to new addons being installed, disabled/enabled or browser updates) that pushed me to Chrome.

Lessons about Startups from 2000 Year Old Entrepreneur, Titus Maccius Plautus
I'm glad I finally saw someone say this. It seems like we're a dying breed: those of us who got into CS for the sheer enjoyment of solving problems. Making fancy things happen on the screen is simply a positive side effect for us. I abhor that development these days is 90% Googling shit and 10% actual creativity. I go out of my way to keep my day job interesting.
That's not necessarily true. Office politics matter. If you fire popular people - even if they are under-performers - then it will hurt morale.

Firing is always messy business. It's a good idea to avoid it unless it is absolutely necessary.
Hacking the consumer.
According to HuffPo's sources there was also a "saving face" element to the prosecution:

"Some congressional staffers left the briefing with the impression that prosecutors believed they needed to convict Swartz of a felony that would put him in jail for a short sentence in order to justify bringing the charges in the first place, according to two aides with knowledge of the briefing."

Google Says No Comment On Why Interflora Was Penalized
I'll read it, but I'm unfortunately suspicious now. When a response to a piece as thorough and logical as Guyenet's gets called a "smack down," it's almost always full of rhetorical blustering which is highly satisfying to people predisposed to side with the smacker. But anyone with genuine interest in seeing the discussion advance and see where Guyenet's argument breaks down is likely to be disappointed.

Beginning the article with a lengthy, seemingly unrelated narrative (shaggy dog story) is precisely the sort of rhetorical distraction that I am disappointed to see.

"if atheist have less than 2.1 children, how long until they get outnumber and forced to chance their allegiance by the religous - at gunpoint if necessary?"

So you make pretty invalid assumptions here, that we reproduce asexually into identical beings, and more than that, even including our believes. So religious parents have religious children, atheist parents have atheist children. That assumption is totally false.

I had personal contact with atheist being made in religious schools as they reacted strongly, and when others tried to force them to believe, they will find a way to prevail.

My uncle is a teacher and one of the girls in class asked him at the end of the class about God,she was curious as her parents, specially her mother, forbid this girl to know about religion. My uncle answered the question and days later had this furious mother trying her best to fire the teacher. Guess what the girl will do when grows up?

My neighbors are highly atheist, their children decided to baptize and go to church on their own. They respect their children decision.

Bad assumptions, bad conclusions.
Yeah, I too hope it is more than just vaporware. That hesitation doesn't actually come from their presentation specifically, aside from maybe looking too polished, just general experience with similarly styled launches.

The faster they get this in the hands of real people/reviewers, the better. It looks great. Nintendo would love it, hehe.
Linus is one of the nicest people you'll ever see. He's just a massive troll/flamethrower when it comes to online discussions. He acknowledges so himself. I don't mind it, Linux is his baby and if you don't like interacting with him you can just fork it and go your own way. Nothing stopping you.

I think nobody takes Linus's insults at face value anymore. I'd actually laugh my ass off if I was a kernel developer and got told off by Linus.
I can't believe there are still people who think that personal responsibility for one's actions don't apply if the politics of those actions are persuasive enough, yet here we are.
ONLY if it's important to you that one process be able to run multiple threads on multiple CPU cores concurrently.

Even without this, there are MANY use cases where multi-threaded concurrent request dispatch makes a LOT of sense. For instance, the recent controversy about heroku routing, right?

With MRI or another interpreter with the GIL, you'd want to run one app process per CPU core -- but having each of those processes also do multi-threaded request handling can still even out latency (that is, avoid those awful ~95th+ percentile latencies in the heroku routing debacle), and increase overall throughput.

Especially if your app, like most but not all web apps, is more I/O bound than CPU bound (waiting on DB, disk, or external APIs).
1. People who think they are equivalent to someone getting higher pay (and there will always be plenty, regardless of the actual truth) will get demoralized and lose motivation. This can happen at any level, not just junior employees.

2. In a market where great talent is scarce, you will lose your ability to negotiate if the candidate has a better offer from your competitor. Sometimes bidding up makes sense.

3.More generally,this works less well in any field where there is a high possible variance in ability of folks with same credentials and experience. This is especially true in tech (only matters if you are in the market for top talent, not the median. Burger king doesn't need to care, but Facebook and Google can't survive with median talent). Without the ability to have that variance in compensation, you lose the ability to get top 25% folks, especially when your competitors are not restricted in the same way.
He broke the law. He was going to get a light punishment in response to his light infraction. Where is the injustice?

He wanted to fight a political battle, arguing that there was nothing wrong using someones network without permission or distributing peoples work without permission. People here in HN treat that as a given, but that's not how the law views things, and that's not how ordinary Americans view things. My mom wouldn't have needed to know about mac address spoofing to know what he did was wrong. Hell, if I wandered into random closets like that without permission as a child I wouldve known it was wrong.

He wanted to challenge the law, and argue that things we percieve to be wrong were either not wrong or otherwise justified. That's what was expensive--not getting a fair shake from the system.

Yes, we make it expensive and difficult to upset the settled order. That's by design and its a hallmark of civilization.
Generous financial offers were turned down because people’s minds had been shaped by a cultural norm that taught them that the acceptance of generous gifts brought burdensome obligations.

More on this from an English anthropologist in Debt: The First 5000 Years, a history of money and currency that is exceedingly timely given the current emergence of Bitcoin and Ripple, and the strange survival of the Swiss WIR.
>>I don't want to politicize the discussion too much, but I feel compelled to ask: do you really believe Bush et al. would actually care even if they had access to this research's findings?

I do believe they would. It is in the best interest of the United States to form stable, like-minded governments abroad. If this cannot be reasonably accomplished because of cultural differences, it would be beneficial to at least marginally adapt the strategy to achieve something close to it. Judging from the US installation of the Shah in Iran, the US is not above installing dictators to enrich its own interests.
Haha I began to code last year and got started with backbone so this flat file paradigm is a little new to me :0
Because "unprocessed" means - nothing that's been processed by humans. That means no salt. No ground pepper. Which is obviously silly BUT there are purists in the primal/paleo community that do follow the guidelines of eating unprocessed food.

Is the word "clean" slightly ambiguous? Sure. Is English as a natural language ambiguous? Definitely. I'm not going to go write an entire article about what "clean" means to me then reference said article every time I try to talk about "eating clean".

Your agreement with the above poster about "holding CrossFitters in very low regard" is just as childish as the statement you're agreeing with. How would you feel if I decided to belt out saying (or agreeing) that something you do which can't possibly be represented by any one generalization is something I hold in very low regard?

I'm not about to get my feelings hurt across the internet - but I promise if you do go about your life acting like that you will hurt someone's feelings.

Anything that breaks the programming language monoculture per platform is welcome in my book. That includes things like Mono and platforms like Canonical.
You raise a good point about past cases. Most of them have ended with nothing more dramatic than house arrest and restricted access to the Internet.
I didn't say anything like that. This doublebind you are accusing me of bitchily creating is called the human condition. You put heterosexual men and heterosexual women together in a work environment and it gets tricky to navigate. That has absolutely nothing to do with me blaming men, something I generally am disinclined to do.
Here's another ungated Henrich paper on ultimatum games across societies, if you're interested in the research:
http://tuvalu.santafe.edu/~bowles/InSearchHomoEconomicus2001...

His book "Why Humans Cooperate" is worth a trip to the library, too. It combines some formal models, experiments, and an interesting study on the Chaldean community in Detroit (a less-WEIRD ethnic group in the middle of our WEIRD society).

The implications of this research are even more radical (and controversial) than the article suggests. The idea that culture shapes the way we think and act is interesting enough, but then the big question becomes "where does culture come from?"

Henrich (and others[1]) suggest that culture evolves through Darwinian processes of transmission and replication, and that biological and cultural evolution are coupled. Social Darwinism and sociobiology gave this idea a bad reputation, and the idea that our social norms have evolved from kin selection all the way up to impersonal market exchange is still a hard sell for economists and anthropologists alike. But it's a fascinating idea, and it's completely changed the way I think about economic behavior and human cooperation.

Equating atheism to decadence is pretty funny when you're familiar with, say, the history of the Catholic Church, almost since its inception, or the history of the religious classes of the Muslim world.
No one else is reading this thread. I'm enjoying it though. It's encouraged me to do more research about topics that interest me.

> Why there are not so many socialists in U.S. national politics is surely because of the first-past-the-post system, not because of lack of diversity in the electorate.

That can't be the sole reason. I suspect it isn't even the main reason. Who is the modern equivalent to Eugene V. Debs in the national debates? Where is the modern Victor Berger or Meyer London, the only two members of the Socialist Party to be elected to Congress, even with the first-past-the-post system? Is it just Bernie Sanders, an independent, unaffiliated with any party?

(Debs, btw, was arrested for violating the Espionage Act of 1917; a violation of the First Amendment if I ever heard one, Schenck v. United States to the contrary.)

My understanding is that have been decades of concerted effort to suppress the power of labor, for example, by denigrating anything related to socialism, communism, marxism, or even liberal. I agree with the view that FDR could push through the New Deal by pointing out that the socialists and communists wanted much more. To that extent, I think Coughlin's denouncement of FDR as being allied with Wall Street was exaggerated, but generally correct.

(And who is the modern Coughlin, and modern equivalent of the Social Justice movement? The US revoked the second class mailing permit for the Social Justice weekly, under the Espionage Act. Not as harsh as the Russian secret police, but still effective at suppressing political diversity, no?)

I therefore see McCarthyism in part as a deliberate effort to undermine labor - child labor laws and women's suffrage being held up as examples of communist influence in US politics, don't you know.

I agree that Gus Hall's parents have nothing to do with the thread. I thought so when you brought it up. :)

As I said, I don't want to get into the ethnic debate. Sweden's history there is much different than the US history. Sweden's present is also much different than Sweden's history.
