> The next time you find yourself wishing someone loved you for who you are, check yourself. It’s likely you’re trying to justify something about yourself that isn’t that great. Have the courage to examine yourself thoughtfully, to humbly receive feedback from those close to you, to recognize it’s most likely changeable, and to have the conviction to make change happen.

Well, if your partner tells you you're farting too often than that's one thing. If someone wants to change something about you that you and others around you have grown to appreciate then you should be asking yourself if you're with the right person.

Being a servant is dangerous unless both parties agree on this approach in a relationship. I've lost count of how many times I've seen two people together where one changed to accommodate the other partner and ended up being a perpetual ass-kisser, leaving everything and everyone behind while under constant control of his/her significant other. The other person may never be happy and this can end very bad for both parties involved.

When people are genuinely looking for someone they're not looking for someone to change. They're looking for someone who can complete them. They're looking for their opposite in some aspects. The right person won't try to change you. They'll embrace that you're different.
Yea, some engineers created a ground-up rewrite of Snort called "Suricata" that was multi-threaded, and therefore faster than Snort, which is only single-threaded. Suricata then failed to show any benchmark where they exceeded Snort's speed, and they fail to mention that Snort works fine on multi-core.

It's one of those things "everyone knows multi-threaded is better than single-threaded", but everyone's wrong.
The US also does most of the innovation, develops most of the drugs, equipment, devices, and treatment regimens, and/or improves on or develops feasible products and treatments based on foreign research and development elsewhere.
When people realized it's more comfortable to sit back in their chairs.
I use that ambulance example myself. It's a pretty good visualization of why we can't put all of the health care system under a free market.

However, there are parts of it that can be. (And even for the instances where you really have no choice, price visibility could still provide some cost containment.)

Given that hybrids have added complexity and cost, I wonder if the double premium of hybrid + diesel is worth it. The standard VW diesels already deliver amazing performance and economy. I would much rather see engineering talent focusing on improving the diesel even further than moving to a diesel-hybrid.
Hardly.

Ask HN: Do you use Rackspace Managed Cloud? How is it?
I'm thinking about upgrading my Rackspace Cloud account to their "managed" support level. I was wondering if anyone here is using their Managed Cloud and if so, how do you like it? Is it worth the extra expense?
Seems to randomly declare a winner without me ever choosing anything. Presents me with a choice half the time, otherwise it just declares a random winner.
Can you explain the physics behind why it's more efficient to have larger rotors than multiple rotors?
Various companies will sell you a list of currently known malware domains (like spammer lists) which you can feed into a router to create blocks for them. Is that what you are asking?
Whoever down-voted you was a dick, there's still more decent folk than dicks though, just ignore it. And, have some karma back, good point for discussion above.
Fortunately, it's not much money - Unfortunately, I don't know where exactly he went. His move was part of the reason myself and the others involved decided to sell our interests. The main thing I'm disappointed about was the time and effort I spent devoted to the project is nowhere near the compensation we decided upon in the contract. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post.
Figured it out; the problem was the HTTPS. http://blog.databigbang.com/ is fine :)
I just called every best buy in nyc and no one there has heard of it.
My desktop is 6 hyperthreaded cores (12 "cores" total).

It's a general principle of why mobile phone CPUs aren't putting a lot more cores in their devices, and why they didn't go the Atom route of hyperhreading: code on cellphones fail to take advantage of the additional cores.
"I now have to wash my hands after every fueling."

I would do the same with gasoline. In fact, I wash my hands after being in a car at all, just for good measure. There are quite a few poisons that accumulate in and around cars and roads.

That said, you can also do your fellow diesel drivers a favor and just wipe the handle on the pump with a paper towel, if there is one available.
Hopefully theonion appreciates the homage, this is fairly textbook trademark infringement and they can take this domain away.

This is a quick side project I built to try Firebase. I was surprised how easy it was to put something together. Their onboarding process is fantastic, the docs are well-written, and their sample apps provide several simple design patterns to use as starting points.

I thought that Firebase would be incredibly useful as a rapid prototyping tool, but I'm now thinking of using it as a backend for a couple of apps I'm bootstrapping and doing away with servers altogether. iOS support and other interesting features are in the pipeline, and it's already an incredibly compelling platform.

The only thing missing for me right now is webhook support.
Without any information from the airline hostess, captain or company this paints a very one sided and incomplete picture. The authors account might be accurate however I'm inclined to think that it may have more to do with the fact that he uttered the word 'terrorist' rather than any of his other actions.

I mean most seasoned travellers, let alone someone in the industry, should know by now that when you're in an airport you jump through all the hoops regardless of how stupid they may appear simply because airports and airlines hold power over you. For better or worse free speech does not exist in this environment and I wonder whether the author should have just apoligised and swallowed his pride rather than try to make a point or even apologise. Some times you just need to bite your tongue.

Edit: I'm curious about why people disagree with me.
I have to say, if it advertises by pretending I endorse its arbitrary links, then it is not a great service.
"Hurricane Electric cant respond to the spike in traffic generated from somebody's blog post about their tunnelbroker service."

Thats a riot, thanks for the laughs.
Interesting. If one found oneself seeking an insurance-free doctor in the future, how would one go about locating such a doctor? What questions would one ask, keywords would one search, or directories would one consult?
The point of this project is the blunt comparison to The Onion -- it is using reality to create a parody of a parody of reality. In other words, the copying of the name, look, and feel of a well known and well recognized satirical publication is actually a vital part of the statement about our world and the media.
Weird. What browser? I'll confess that I threw this together and haven't done much testing, but all seems well on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Mobile Safari.
Pretty much spot on for my experience with entrepreneurship.
My point was to talk about the wrong problems.

Networking is actually a "right" problem, and should be nearly embarrassingly parallel since two cores and process two unrelated packets at the same time. But, if you look at network stacks on open-source projects, you see a lot of fail. That's the point of my post, as a reference to point to why that spinlock in your networking code is a bad idea, and why it's probably better to replace it with an atomic operation or a lock-free alternative.
I have some constructive criticism.

The main problems are:

* The image has too much unsharp mask applied, which unfortunately is quite noticeable. The buildings look too sharp, too much edge contrast from over-sharpening.

* The HDR effect looks too obvious and forced. This image is definitely not a good candidate for HDR. It simply wasn't needed, and reduces the quality of the image.

* You've inverted the mouse scrolling, it's the wrong way around! Clicking and dragging with the mouse to the left of screen should move the image to the right, as it does on Google street view - this is the way panoramas are mostly done. There's no right or wrong, but it's confusing to have the opposite of what is conventional.
Meteor 0.5.7 released
I've used it in the past and was happy with it. If you're deploying pretty common builds then it's easy as pie - everything else obviously can take more time.
It's horrendously horrible.

Like any typist, if I make a typo, I immediately hit the backspace key, and that exits your site and brings me straight back here. So it's completely useless.

Apart from that, it's a pointless exercise. Nobody sits and types sequences of very obscure words, and it's not a useful skill. Which is why normal typing programs get you typing typical English (or whatever) sentences.

Sorry if this sounds harsh. I can't imagine why you did the program that way, but I'm willing to listen to reason ;-)
He said he'd publish it at the end of last year. Don't hold your breath.
Padlet (YC W13) brings Collaborative Website Building
What's really annoying is driving a Golf TDI in an area where everyone expects you to speed up quickly from a red light. We're talking about a second or two of difference, yet people honk, tailgate, and otherwise behave as though there is something wrong with you around where I live.

Not that I personally care about appeasing such people.
I had a similar thought.

When I have to fill up the portable tank for the lawn mower, I take some disposable latex gloves along. (Exposure is a short enough period of time that this seems to provide adequate protection for gasoline, at least based on the "smell test".)

It's slightly wasteful, I suppose. OTOH, a random piece of plastic packaging discarded may be more wasteful. And I'd prefer to keep that stuff out of my innards. And, since gas cans in the U.S. have all been redesigned to store the pouring spout internally, I haven't found one that does not force me to get gasoline all over my hands when I use it.

On sale, the latex gloves are something like US$3.50 for a box of 50 (25 pair). I think I've seen nitrile gloves for not a lot more.
Sadly many users don't heed the warnings. I would guess those users are also less likely to have everything fully patched and up to date.
I was saying Chicago's a hellhole, just like all those other hellholes you listed--it's just that the GP mentioned Chicago particularly.
Why Should Taxpayers Give Big Banks $83 Billion a Year?
But if something isn't expressible in plain language, how could anyone claim to have a valid contract about it? that sounds like the very definition of "unconscionable".
People are already using HE IPv6 tunnels to access binaries newsgroups on IPv6-only Usenet servers. I think they'll be OK.
I suspect they will find ways of assembling the car quicker. That alone will reduce the cost (share of fixed overheads per car would be down) as well as allowing negotiating bigger volume discounts on materials and components.
It doesnt do anything. But it might be worth the quick clone to bypass some tedious setup ( it's my repo thats linked )
LinkedIn has been using Grails for ~4 years. It's a terrific framework, but we found that Groovy was one of the downsides. The language is very easy to learn and use with Java, but we found that it didn't scale nearly as well to large numbers of users or developers. It's worth noting that this was pre Groovy 2.0, so I'm not sure what has changed in the latest version of the language.
Wait. I thought you would be disputing the other thing, i.e., that the lottery is worth playing.
My guess- Google's goal is to replace all of the MacBooks that their employees use internally. That's 40,000 sales right there. They know that they need a high quality machine- no one wants to be sitting in meetings with chintzy hardware.

Furthermore, with the recent Java-based Facebook & Apple attacks it's becoming apparent that OSX is becoming a significant hacking target. Google already ditched Windows for security concerns (http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/d2f3f04e-6ccf-11df-91c8-00144feab4...).

In short- this is a Google Employee computer, that they happen to be selling to the public.
I see people talking about installing Ubuntu on this.

I remember when the Retina display came out, there were issues with Ubuntu's UI scaling to the high DPI of the device.

If I put Ubuntu on the Pixel, would it look good?
Because anonymous forums on the internet have proven for a decade sane discourse goes out the window due to the Internet Fuckwad Theorem. It is an entirely different dynamic to be in someones face and have to fear consequences beyond words from your behavior, and honestly, that is what almost any protest in history was for - to try to shake the boots of those who are gifted with power.

An internet petition is just a number and a paragraph that people clicked a thumbs up on. Nobody would ever care unless those people actually started voting differently, and by differently, that means something other than just going across the isle and shaking hands with their neighbor politician in the other camp.

It is the same reason you don't argue with businesses with petition letters, you argue with them with their bottom line. If you are in a state of demanding something, the other party has a power and influence you don't, and you need some pull in the relationship or else you will be walked all over.
I guess it's just a matter of personal preference then. The difference between long term and short term capital gains tax makes what you describe here not worth the effort to me.
Google was picked on b/c it was an easy target. I'm sure there are plenty of other fishing sites out there that don't use Google, yet those weren't blocked. This a seriously boneheaded way to go about things. Unless you are just going for media attention.
Maybe, but they could also be used to fine-tune the rod's moment of inertia.
Feminism doesn't teach women to take the active role. It teaches them to hate men.

To be clear, I think women should be treated equally under the law. I'm a big supporter of natural rights. Feminists are not big supporters of natural rights. They are generally leftists, and the truly intellectually dedicated members are generally far leftists.
One researcher at Peking University once told me that he uses IPv6 to access YouTube. As far as I could tell, it was available to all students and staff. Just a simple matter of selecting the right Wi-Fi network. :)
It's a development of the original game, by Sheldon from Big Bang Theory.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spoc...

EDIT: As nthitz helpfully points out, it wasn't invented by Sheldon, or anybody in Big Bang Theory. Let's say it was popularized by Big Bang Theory. Bazinga!
I played to 37 wins with a friend to decide who buys the drinks tonight. By the end, he couldn't choose rock or scissors, and I couldn't choose lizard, and sometimes he would pick two things at a time. We decided that these are intended depths of the game, and we needed to practice more in order to learn the subtle dynamics of the game. Good Job!
I'm just curious who already had a good feeling about United. I mean, I fly Delta/United/America when I have to, but I've been pretty annoyed by all 3 for years.

I don't really see anything changing from this article.
Read any "control theory"[1] text, frequently used in undergraduate engineering courses. I hesitate to recommend the text from my undergraduate years, as it wasn't very good, and is probably dated by now. The inverted pendulum [2] is a canonical test in control engineering, frequently used to test feedback control algorithms. Consequently, it should be treated in most texts.

A separate problem is the modelling and control of the quadcopter. I say separate, since the maths behind throwing an inverted pendulum should be similar, whether it is being thrown by quadcopters or industrial robots. The real (and more complex) story here is the quadcopter control algorithms. Using an inverted pendulum is a sexy way to show off the quadcopted control algorithms, compared to a dry graph of an error function.

Which either says that other doctors are under-using MRI scans (doubtful, the US orders more CT/MRI scans per capita than any other country on earth by nearly seventy per cent, which to say that doctors elsewhere should be doing up to six times more), or that they're exploring their own "interest" at the cost of the consumer.
When you're ready to step up your game I'll tell you about the cheat codes that let you choose Twinkie. : )
I love it but it's too niche and rich for my blood. I get the idea: A beautiful, super high-res touch display with keyboard running a Cloud OS. The only problem is for this dollar you're in Mac territory and while maybe you sacrifice touch display, you suddenly have far more robust hardware and local I/O. If money was no object, I'd get one in a heartbeat. But realistically...

It is a thing of beauty. It just seems uneconomical / impractical at this price point which is necessitated by the display.

Edit - I was going to suggest a PC laptop with touch display, that you could always install ChromeOS on in a boot partition, but your're just not going to get that resolution. This is for someone who wants a beautiful thin client above all else.
I think it's mindblowingly effective. The eye just really wants to interpret those headlines as funny... and manages to fail, but just barely.
Doesn't this count as parody and thus fair use? Or does parody of parody completes the circle and the site is not a parody anymore?
I have absolutely no idea how you any cause would get even 10% of Americans to actually get up off their couches and away from the tv long enough to make their voice heard on anything.

I mean, the closest thing is recent history, the Occupy movement, was still only a few tens of thousands at most.
How about managers? That is, people with actual power. :-)
If they really are going with those stores (I have no idea), they need something better to show off, and to sell to those with the dollars (leaving aside the "more dollars than sense" debate), than the current line up.

Picture a Mac store and a Google store side by side. (Not that this is going to happen.) Where are people going to hang out, given the current line ups?
Cash has no chargebacks, which is why merchants will often offer a small discount for using cash (or charge a .50 fee) when using a credit card. Bitcoin is just like cash, but digital. Some merchants even offer discounts for customers who use bitcoins since the risk is mitigated, as with physical cash.
Change that to "... the innate right of every animal to try to kill what it can and take what it wants" and you're spot on. And that of course is a big advantage of law (and custom): We don't get into these contests of brute force quite so much.

According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Roadmap/KernelHardening... setting it to zero would actually restore the more permissive behavior. But, like someone here mentioned, a value of 1 would still allow to ptrace your own process children.
Yep, I completely agree - I'm hugely sceptical about whether this future where we can all rely on high speed network access 100% of the time will ever arrive. But I don't think Google is - they are betting this is coming. And in the meantime they are trying to provide just enough local state (HTML5 style) to get you by during the outages.
The contract you sign with the carrier says you don't own the phone until after the contract period expires. Same reason you can't just make copies of a cd of any band you like and hand them out to your friends, in the eyes of the law you may own a plastic disc but the information stored on it isn't yours to own, it is yours to borrow and use in a restricted set of circumstances the rights holder approves of.
I'm Dutch so I couldn't agree more, but unless you're a professional lobbyist there's not much else you can do.
It really doesn't. It only requires the creation of value. Hype is optional.

EmployTown Interview with Student Maid Founder Kristen Hadeed
It's fairly common to see double digit percent changes when swapping out lower level component implementations or version (compiler, JVM, OS, kernel, etc). That can be a good thing, in the case here where they found a win, or an awful thing.
the site went down.
I have to put in a good word for the Samsung here. My wife's MacBook finally died, so she got a ChromeBook as a stop-gap, but in reality, it's really all she needs for basic surfing, Google Docs/Drive and watching CBS streaming (for stuff not on Hulu/Roku/NetFlix).

It's cheap, adequately quick, easy to use and has all-day battery life, and charges up at night with the iPad and iPhone used by my toddler.
Still fucking annoying. Good riddance.
The nitrile gloves are worth it. Petroleum products don't wreck them nearly as quickly as with latex.
Thanks - that's really interesting to hear. It sounds like your use predated 2.0, at which time I would certainly have said the same thing. However static compilation (a feature of 2.0) has definitely changed my feeling about it - you're getting compile time type checking and near-Java speeds, but all the highly expressive Groovy syntax still works.
The documentation has always explicitly stated that notifications may or may not be triggered by requests: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/channels/
Have you tried the Debian Kit for Android? It is not a chroot OS, but is installed 'side-by-side' with Android. I successfully installed Ubuntu Lucid and LXDE using it to my TF201. Not sure about Apache, but Eclipse works well. I tried their Precise too, but ran into problems.

Edit: I guess this will not solve your kernel problems, but I'll leave it here for people thinking about Debian Kit for Android, which is not documented as working on TF201, afaik.
