> My son is only two and a half right now. When he gets older my advice to him will be to first go through all of the proper channels in case bullying comes up. Give the system a chance to work, and get some documentation that you did so. And if it does work great.

You are forgetting the schoolyard code. You never go to the appropriate channels. Ever. That is one of the worst things a kid can do to themselves.

The right response to physical bullying is to stand up for yourself. It's one of the most important lessons a person can learn - how and when to stand up for themselves.

I was bullied a lot in primary school, but I dealt with it and as much as bullies liked picking on me, they also knew going too far would hurt. A lot.
Sometimes I feel like the only long-term Australian (state) government-employed IT professional reading HN that doesn't regularly witness widespread corruption, incompetence and overspending. Seriously, in almost ten years, the very worst thing I've seen is someone being fired over stealing an old desktop PC instead of disposing of it via proper channels.

I've always worked with people that, even if not cutting-edge geniuses, are generally more than competent. They don't accept dodgy tender because they know the value of what they're buying, and they certainly don't overspend on gold-plated crap because our budgets are always stretched to the limit.

I would genuinely like to work for one of these mythical government departments where money flows like water. In my experience, the budget is always barely enough to fulfil our role and all these stories about profligate government waste are little more than hearsay.

Then again, I've never worked in the Health or Mining industries.
Brutal dictator ends up with a rebellion, who'd have thought? Unfortunately the byproduct of any measure of success of a rebellion in the middle east is credited to piousness. If it weren't the case, would you really have a problem with the people overthrowing this guy?

The person you responded to mentioned novice programmers. Teaching novice programmers with the attitude of "use as much of this as you like/want/understand" is a pretty poor technique that will not give good results.

I actually meant wireless so that you wouldn't have to be present inside the tank, you would control the gun remotely.

You would still use wired controllers, but you would use wireless networking to control the tank close by. As long as you maintain a connection with the tank, you are safe from enemy fire, and the enemy would be shooting at an empty tank, with no way of telling what your physical location is.

Huh what? A lot of ultrabooks have only SSDs, has the author been in coma for the last year?

Sony has a Vaio Duo 11" with a 1080p display. Lenovo and Asus also have or are about to have high density displays.

All in all, an empty uninsightful fluff piece.

It's a good thing that Aaron wasn't around to 'unlock' his phone from his cell carrier; they would have really gotten him then. :D
Still not changed for me.
This has been the case for the previous few IE versions too. There is a tool to block automatic deployment, mostly meant for corporate environments where you probably first need to test all your intranet apps.

It won't reach those who don't update their Windows, though. And that's probably a large part of users who are still on older IE versions.
Most of the innovative products are designed and developed in silicon valley. And most of them prefer Mac over PC

It will be interesting to see if this changes over time given that the perception is Apple is alienating this market in favor of the general consumer market. If true the observation of this topic may change with it. It will be interesting to see if the creatives are a silent marketing tool that Apple has overlooked in it's transition to a more general consumer company.

Maybe it would be possible to fake the tactile feedback by using some visual aid? There have been experiments where people "feel" things that are happening to a fake hand ([1] and [2]).

If you have an augmented reality setup maybe some visual effects applied to your hand would be translated into feelings.

Building a Hacker Culture in Abu Dhabi
No, they didn't admit that. An anonymous staffer told the Huffington Post they felt that the prosecution was overcommitted to a token prison sentence and felony convictions to justify the effort they had put into the case, and Swartz' "Guerilla Open Access Manifesto" was used as evidence to establish his intent.

4/5ths of Hacker News believed the day the news about Swartz came out, when we learned about the prison time demand, that this was what was happening. There has been no revelation, unless Taren or one of her peers was at the hearing and learned something different than the Huffington Post.
Wasn't a not-insignificant part of the prosecution established to be him breaking and entering into a secured room and then proceeding to force access to a network port ?

MIT and JSTOR declined to press such charges.

The government's charges were fraud charges - more or less, they claimed that Swartz would later do something illegal with the data he had copied, and that warranted imprisonment now, before the fact.

"A" in your text is using violence to force access to documents, because he believed them to be public domain, and then republishing them.

That's not my text you're referring to.

No one has ever claimed there was any violence or force involved in any part of this.

No republishing actually occurred; the government is claiming that Swartz's prior writings prove that such republishing was his goal, and that he therefore belonged in federal prison - because of his intent to commit a civil offense.
I use an old MBP that I'd like to replace soon, but there's no way I can get the Pixel - it just doesn't do stuff.

I think Chrome OS needs a great virtualization solution - just how chrome handles PDFs and Flash fairly well. I want to be able to open a "windows" tab or an "ubuntu" tab, use them normally.
Your appetite sounds much smaller than mine. But the examples are mostly a waste of time. Either you accept my premise or not, which is:

You're more likely to get fat eating calorie-dense foods.

There are many mechanisms to regulate calorie intake. The fullness feeling is just one of them. If you are only relying the fullness mechanism to regulate calories and every meal is loaded with high-calorie foods like butter, olive oil, gravy, fatty meat, eggs and the like, odds are higher that you're going to be running a surplus more often than not. And thus: gaining weight.

Yes, not all weight gain is bad and there is more to body composition than weight. But weight was the topic under discussion for this thread.
Yeah, it is exactly the same thing. It's a pleasure argueing with you.
The UI Overview Slashgear wrote up via a leaker(http://www.slashgear.com/google-glass-in-focus-ui-apps-more-...) says that the swipe down gesture on the touchpad takes you up a level within the UI, and swiping down at the topmost level turns off the screen completely.
Can you go a little more into the problems with equals() and hashCode(), or link to something? I'm by no means a hardcore Java programmer, but I've used it for several projects, and these never stood out as particularly problematic to use and override, although I kind of see how they come across as kludgy in a whitetower kind of way.
Certainty in the reverse direction (Google Glass will change the world!) is just as silly, though maybe a little less curmudgeony.

Reality is that our first impression of a new technology is pretty much a coolness measure. Some things look cool and everyone who sees it wants it but are not ultimately useful or impactful (eg segway). Its really hard to tell how important some new technology is.

Let's continue this digression.

Fun fact I learned recently about guided missiles (I have diverse interests), modern ones don't adjust to aim directly at the target, they adjust to keep the target at the same relative angle (the same position on the imager). This has the effect of leading the target and flying an intercept course instead of a following course, which is more efficient and effective.

It shows that men and women have equal prevalence of imposter syndrome, which is the discussion at hand. Links had already been provided before you posted.
What is surprising here? Folks who publicly flout the rules are asking to be censured, and it happened.
Regarding Google losing interest once it's gone to Engineering. Perhaps that's the idea? Google just wants the advertising revenue from the searches. They will probably be more than happy for Asus/Samsung/HTC to come along and do Glass (or whatever) better/cheaper, just hoping they'll stick with Google as the engine.
I think Google's aim with the Nexus and other products is just to keep some competition out there so folk don't all flock to Apple/Siri.
Are there any games already out there using this technology? In the apple app store would be especially useful to see, since I share the concern that this tech might be rejected by apple.
How long before IE10 hits the update channel for Windows 7 users? This should be enough to send IE9 to low single digit and IE10 to double-digit market share.

The Simple Secret to Time Management: Jedi Time Tricks
> Getting any of the money back seems unlikely at this point, but the legislative auditor does have one solid recommendation to make. The State Purchasing division should determine whether Cisco's actions in this matter fall afoul of section 5A-3-33d of the West Virginia Code, and whether the company should be barred from bidding on future projects.

Cisco is a public company with a fiduciary duty to make money. You should assume that companies are going to try to fleece you whenever possible. Unless they committed some kind of contractual breach or fraud, they're not the problem.

The fault here is clearly with one or multiple people in the government. This is the kind of gross misconduct for which it feels like firing isn't even close to enough -- this kind of managerial incompetence really deserves at least a short stint in a white-collar prison somewhere.
Switched one of my apps over to this setup (C66 + DO). Going good so far, server provisioning is super slick.
Con man would be more fitting. How many of his "hacks" involved social engineering?

I doubt he's above entrapping innocent people either, if he thinks it will get him less time.

What does this have to do with Heroku? I see only Cloud66 and Ocean.
can't one just install a different OS? or is the chromebook pixel using some weird hardware?
Basically: browsers started scaling pixel sizes years ago, so if you set the width of the page as a pixel size it will scale when you zoom the page. If you use sizes relative to the size of the text (ems or rems) to set the widths of containers, then those will scale when you increase the text size.

Developers can turn zooming off on mobile devices by specifying a fixed viewport which obviously upsets a large subset of people. (But then you potentially have the pinch gesture to yourself and it isn't intercepted by the system, but I digress..)

Alternatively percentage based and max-width css can be used on containers and then you can probably start to get the behaviour you're looking for. I'm not 100% sure if browsers will scale max-width. You can probably set pixel widths on containers and use percentage based sizes for fonts, but then a) you're assuming the default font size is 16px forever and b) the results are still going to depend on whether the browser scales text or zooms the entire page.

In this website's case it probably wouldn't be very helpful if the text scaled up without the design going wider, though. Maybe one or two steps but at a point the main column width gets ridiculously narrow.

Oh and obviously you can just never give containers widths, but then you probably get that html 1.0 look where text just goes all the way from one edge of the screen to the other.

I don't think it really is a solvable problem in a way that will make everyone happy all the time.
Haha, I only kind of skimmed your post then downloaded that file. I opened the images and was like "I don't know how high-quality this is. The images look exactly the same to me." And then I saw the file sizes and had the ah-ha moment.

I agree. Not many young people know who Gabe Newell or Drew Houston is. But seeing big names like that that younger people are familiar with could lead to more interest in coding. Great video.
Your answer is different than my answer. We have 7B different answers if every combo of genes is different.

Have to start somewhere, so this study helps, but 6 hours versus 10 hours for small sample size is only a starting point.
This is making me angrier than almost anything I’ve heard since Aaron died. I finally figured out why: Because I worked my ass off to elect the Obama administration in 2008. I helped these people get in power

I think the point is that Cloud66 allows you to deploy to 1 server and scale from a web gui, which is essentially what a "dyno" abstractly is.

Firearms, science, and the missing pieces of public policy
No, it doesn't bother me. Well, no more than the fact that I don't yet have FU money bothers me.

I'm just a bit cynical of all the "you can work on whatever you want (that's good for the company -- that others around you agree is good for the company -- that's meant to capture innovation -- but that can't really capture long-term or unpopular innovation)."

So yeah, the way I work at my current job, and the way that people supposedly work at Valve seems great. That said, what I really want is to not have to work, but to work anyway. Woe is me.
Great class on presenting in Chicago
I actually disagree that the Valve-style bossless organization "works" as a matter of universal assertion. It probably works for some companies and not others. However, the alternative is ludicrous and only "works" because, with 99% of large corporate organizations taking that form (legacy) there is no competition.

The more common corporate arrangement is the extortionist command economy in which one serves one's immediate superior or gets fired from a whole company. That is ridiculous and pathological. It might have worked in 1870, but it's starting to fail badly. Billions of dollars of value are being lost due to this outmoded way of doing things.

Valve is clearly not perfect-- they had a layoff earlier this month-- but it appears that they're still doing a better job, on a cultural front, than almost anyone else.
I wrote a JPEG encoder once, and if I remember correctly you can change the quantization tables and the Huffman tables. My encoder just used the default tables in the standard, but it wouldn't surprise me to optimize these using a psychovisual fitness function.

Stunned by the friendliness of a stranger
My oldest didn't suffer unduly at school, but was beat up for a time, unbeknownst to me, by his younger brother. When I found out, he told me he did not defend himself because he knew he would get in trouble. I told him I had never and would never hurt him the way his brother had and he needed to defend himself even if he was grounded for it, that not defending himself was worse than anything I would ever do to him.

Teach your daughter she does not need your approval. Teach her to make her own decisions, even if sometimes other people don't like it. Help her figure out how to make good judgement calls in the face of difficult circumstances. Give her opportunities to make real choices and back them even if you do not like them. Let her know you don't like all of her choices but you accept them and respect her right to make them. Do not make her dependent on being liked and approved for everything she does.
The newest versions of Chrome and Firefox has been working on Windows 7 for quite some time already.

This is my major objection when people insist that "Internet Explorer has caught up". It's true that the latest IE isn't light-years behind it's rivals anymore, but it doesn't matter if people are forced to use older versions of the browser because they don't constantly change their OS.

My family's laptop runs Windows 7. What's the point of talking about all the advantages IE10 offers if they couldn't even use it?
So if you have 50 tabs open, the OS should expose 50 audio sliders somewhere??? How will you know which one is for which tab? Also, isn't it better to be able to CLOSE that tab rather than letting it continue play audio and just mute it?

Ask HN: How do I go about calculating the wealth of The Rot Schild family?
1. Entities created owned by Rot Schild from 18th century in directed graph?
Are there some historical govt. records?

2. %age of English stock market owned by Rot Schild in June 1815 during
Napoleonic war

3. What %age of Federal Reserve banks shareholders have Rot Schild investors

4. Is there a way to determine if 2007 Crisis was orchestrated just like the
June 1815 stock market crash? i.e. It was not financial mismanagement but the
sub prime bonds were overlooked on purpose, so that another arm could
buy property at cheap prices?

We need to create a graph of entities bought property at dirt cheap prices in
2007 and 2008 fallout and back link them to entities in 2.

5. 1 Trillion in USD bond at 2% interest = 997.8 billion loan and 1.2 billion
profit for the Federal reserve, which can be distributed among share holder
banks, and without tax? If Rot Schild is a share holder, it gets a share in
this money and without tax.

6. It is in the interest of the Federal Reserve that the US govt. raises money
through it as it's profits come from interest on bonds

7. To understand the total wealth taken out of the US Taxpayers, we
can count from 1913 to 2013 (100 years), the amount of bonds issued
and do the following:
bond amount * interest rate * 0.06 = amount taken out and
disbursed among Federal Reserve
banks share holders

8. Based on the above, can we call the Federal Reserve a sort of
Economic Black Hole, where money goes in as a percentage of the rate
at which bonds are raised?
tl;dr: this article wastes your time
