From a practical standpoint Chemistry is not based on QM. You basically said QM > Chemistry > more complex things, my counter argument is even fairly simple. Chemistry is way to complex to model from pure QM. So, even at your first step your model is making simplifications. And 10^100 times the processing power does not get you to the point where you can model even the simplest cell for a meaningful time-frame.

Even at the timescales of atomic explosions and the best hardware / software around those models are vary simplified.

PS: That's not to say you can't make useful simulations, but trusting them to be accurate without testing is not science.
That makes me want to use Skype (owned by Microsoft) even less now.
Yahoo's experience says otherwise, and going into denial about that serves no one's interests. If we want to continue being taken seriously about telework not hurting productivity, we would be far better served by finding the explanation for why it did hurt productivity in Yahoo's case.
"The law" isn't some monolith, though -- it's defined by every institution (every person?) enforcing it, and every decision made in carrying out "justice".

It's a crime under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act to port-scan Google. Are you really saying that you'd be getting tired of people talking about it if someone who'd done just that was facing years in jail (a perfectly _legal_ consequence).
It really doesn't.

It is illogical to block just this phrase and not the many others that would be far worse.

Too vague? I don't know enough about enough things outside of tech to really build something that would actually help the rest of the world. (The only thing I can think of is another Skype-like company akin to Twillio but for video communication with a phone. That probably would fail until costs come down.)
If Jeff was angry at Aaron for "taking the easy way out" (again: not my personal reaction, but one I think I can understand), he has the right to express that without being told he should "stick to the code". Dealing with "inconvenient" emotions is part of grief, and that process deserves respect too.

It is extremely common for people to feel anger at the death of a loved one, especially a death so complicated to process as a suicide.

People take years to unravel the knot and come to accept what has happened. I took it as Jeff being human.

You realize that to claim a gender gap, you have to compare apples to apples - same job, education level, hours worked between genders? And when all of this is tabulated, there is no gender gap.

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505125_162-28246928/the-gender-p...

"Why the Gender Pay Gap is a Complete Myth

Men are far more likely to choose careers that are more dangerous, so they naturally pay more. Top 10 most dangerous jobs (from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics): Fishers, loggers, aircraft pilots, farmers and ranchers, roofers, iron and steel workers, refuse and recyclable material collectors, industrial machinery installation and repair, truck drivers, construction laborers. They're all male-dominated jobs.

Men are far more likely to work in higher-paying fields and occupations (by choice). According to the White House report, "In 2009, only 7 percent of female professionals were employed in the relatively high paying computer and engineering fields, compared with 38 percent of male professionals." Professional women, on the other hand, are far more prevalent "in the relatively low-paying education and health care occupations."

Men are far more likely to take work in uncomfortable, isolated, and undesirable locations that pay more.Men work longer hours than women do. The average fulltime working man works 6 hours per week or 15 percent longer than the average fulltime working woman.

Men are more likely to take jobs that require work on weekends and evenings and therefore pay more.

Even within the same career category, men are more likely to pursue high-stress and higher-paid areas of specialization. For example, within the medical profession, men gravitate to relatively high-stress and high-paying areas of specialization, like surgery, while women are more likely to pursue relatively lower-paid areas of specialization like pediatrician or dentist.

Despite all of the above, unmarried women who've never had a child actually earn more than unmarried men, according to Nemko and data compiled from the Census Bureau.

Women business owners make less than half of what male business owners make, which, since they have no boss, means it's independent of discrimination. The reason for the disparity, according to a Rochester Institute of Technology study, is that money is the primary motivator for 76% of men versus only 29% of women. Women place a higher premium on shorter work weeks, proximity to home, fulfillment, autonomy, and safety, according to Nemko."
This looks amazing, and puts a lot of patient-focused data out in a much more usable format.

I wonder about other parts of the chain (e.g. payer <-> provider) could benefit from this kind of tech-enabling?

The original purpose of a board of directors was to manage the company at a strategic level. To do the job properly takes time and effort. Unfortunately, there is no limit to how many boards on which one can sit, and the quality of corporate governance at the board level has degraded accordingly. Allowing people to sit on multiple boards also breeds group think, conflicts of interest and back-channels for insider information. Interlocking boards are another way our economic system is gamed to favor the wealthy. We should restrict membership to a single board, leading to a greater diversity of qualified people in the boardroom.

I have a propensity to think overly-meta. I'd delve deep into connecting disparate parts of the internet, fusing services together into an experience which eliminated a lot of the "service here, service there" paradigm we currently observe. This is really an extension of what I'm already working on in the social+news realm @ Streamified.com, but ultimately would be much larger in scope, incorporating learning algorithms and neural networks to ultimately transform the internet into a sort of persistant secondary-hive-mind accessible from anywhere.
Read crntaylor's explanation of this via group theory: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5278915

So this is awesome insofar as you find things like group theory awesome (I did). But like he says, if you find this awesome to use in production code, that's a horse of another color.

No, Apple can run a centralised download store where the content comes from a limited number of sources.

"Moreover… Nginx wasn’t always the winnner." is my favorite part.
Great point, and not something I had thought of. Just makes the "expected" solution even more odd... If you're exposing nodes enough to get an operation to delete a particular node with no context, then the given solution just invalidated a completely different node, but not the one you asked it to delete. No, the one you asked it to delete is still valid, just with different data associated.
Why Do So Many People Think They Need Gluten-Free Foods?
Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. Their choices make me worry you'll need a licence to develop for mac in the near future. After that you can only install via the OSX App store, with Apple taking their cut.

How do these bills pop-up anyway?
They know how to run them in that they have web services running, but I'd contend that they're not run very well. They are consistently slow, slow, slow, not to mention buggy.

I just opened the Mac app store application, clicked the "updates" tab/button, and waited 15 seconds to be told that there are no updates available.

When I install app updates on my iPhone (5, running iOS 6), the badge icon does not go away until I re-open the app store app, on a consistent basis (greater than 50% of the time). When the badge icon does show updates, tapping the updates tab produces a wait similar in magnitude to the Mac app store example above, even though the app already knows there are updates available, since it showed me via the badge icon!

Apple's web services, in my experience, are comparatively slow when viewed alongside other major providers of web services.
Education. I feel teaching people reinforces learning.

Background: My mother was born with cerebral palsy. Other than a $500/mo check, medicaid and $30 in foodstamps, she has not received any other services until 13Q1. I finally signed her up for meals on wheels and getting her cleaning services, etc, from the state. This was always available to her at no cost, but she had no clue.

My mother also has an IQ of 120 that is going to waste as she sits at home alone, many states away. Rather than going insane from loneliness, she could at least mechanical turk it up in her living room... beats talking to cats.

Why wasn't this submitted last month, when Atwood's post was being discussed? It seems odd to submit it nearly a month after discussion of that has pretty much ended.
GOG is pretty badass, and I really really hope they (continue to) succeed in the marketplace.

But, selfishly, if I could buy every GOG game on Steam, GOG wouldn't get a penny of my money. I value the Steam features more than I value the DRM-free-ness. I'm befuddled that this is my position, but it is.
Right, but it does create a barrier to entry if you want laymen to run your software. This is especially annoying if you're a developer who doesn't own an Apple PC.
A fully integrated Electronic Medical Health Record (EMR/EHR) system and patient portal. Completely web-based application providing secure patient/doctor communication, scheduling, patient visit summary, health record summaries, etc.

You're acting like Apple has some vast conspiracy to eradicate objectionable material from the face of the planet. That's ridiculous.

Apple has been pretty open about the fact that they just care about what's on their storefront. The only reason that this effectively means they control what's on your phone is because most people can't install apps on their phone except via Apple's App Store. Although, as usual, everyone in the world is free to view whatever objectionable website they want.
The problem is that you can spend years or decades working on something that the market deems irrelevant. Case in point: GNU Hurd.
Would love feedback.

Apologies - I included the citation because I just copied someone else's comment that I found appropriate. I felt bad not citing where it was from.

With regard to your article - it does not analyze difference in hours worked. Perhaps someone working 3 days a week after taking a few years off for maternity leave should earn less than someone working full-time with no experience gaps? Please see my other comment in this thread that cites more thorough research.
I know it's scary, but ask for the money.
Sorry but do you understand technology at all ?

iTunes Music Store is a web service. Whether it delivers HTML or XML to a thick client is irrelevant. It still needs to deliver a tremendous volume of them in addition to managing the downloads. And by and large it has worked tremendously well.

iTools/.Mac etc are all the same thing just rebranding. Ping was a product failure not a technological one. And GameCenter/iMessage use iCloud so not sure why you listed them.
IMHO Having more time like 5 years doesn't mean anyone is going o build something more valuable; I even think by having a limited time to deliver something (e.g 6 months) you are going to deliver the most valuable thing and skip anything that is simply not needed for user.
So I think you should stop thinking about the time limit as a constrain to deliver a GREAT idea.
So the government wants everyone but the government to be restricted from something? Go figure!

They take an insane amount of work, so they are slow in coming. This latest one had about 50kloc of code written to build the demo software, animations, and to improve the FOSS video editing software that was used.
So, I'll ask the noob question that has previously been getting asked to death but there's finally new reason to ask once more: someone who's had little to no prior experience with Django, and still is very much a novice with Python -- do you suggest they start using Django with Python 3 or 2?
thats a waterfall model, may be agile might be more useful :)

To me it only looks like a limitation.

So yeah, you can write a custom class. But you will need to add a custom "save state" and "load state" in your class' __iter__ method. So all the benefits go away.
Remote working is not about the work time
It reminds me a lot of any human organization that develops a "manager" class. There are a lot of people whose goals in life have more to do with controlling what other people do and making sure that the rules are followed, rather than contributing actual work.

You can see the process on a small scale with homeowner's associations.

(I put "manager" in quotes because there are good managers out there. Oddly, they're often the ones who are willing to break the rules when they don't make sense).
Apparently they're also against criticism of their products, but not against forging network traffic, which is why you get fake 404's if you try to visit "The Best Page in the Universe" from an Apple Store. Interesting sense of morality they have...

That's ok, you've given me a good tagline -- "Snebu comes in handy when you have a Snafu".
As for comment participation, unfortunately unless you luck out and get a few upvotes immediately when you post here, you won't make the first couple pages and no one will see your submission. I had the same issue when I posted a "Show HN" about Snebu, no one saw it. I think the only way to get a submission to be visible is to have a few friends up-vote you right away (about 3 - 5 is all it takes to briefly make it to the front page), then if enough other people like the content it will stick.
Sorry for the Off topic, but anybody have a good experience with Appengine+Google Cloud SQL+Django?? I am thinking as alternative to AWS but I dont know if it's going to give me so much problems with the integration. Also a bit worry about the price in comparation with AWS. Anyone experience in both world?

> They don't want anything to change, ever, because it breaks their workflow.

I'm like that. I'm willing to change, but there needs to be a compelling reason.

I think of 'my computer' the same way I do my work area.

If my phone is over -there- one day and the next day it's over _here_ .. it's distracting. I spend all day reaching out with the wrong hand when the phone rings.
I use it some of the time, other times google balks at that type of login.
Isn't the problem with Hurd the fact that they did spend years working on it, instead of just releasing something early and iterating?
It's a good question, we'd love to get any experience you have on the topic. I created an issue to track it if you can weigh in: https://github.com/HubSpot/messenger/issues/10.
Our approach to subjective programming questions
don't use Eclipse. its designed as a professional tool with alot of features for large teams working on Enterprise IT projects. its way more than you need as an individual developer.

My recommendation is to start getting familiar with the tools and developing environment that will be useful to you no matter what type of software development you do. Start using Linux and get comfortable with the command shell, and all the unix programs. Get familiar with some programming oriented text editors like Vim or Sublime. Get familiar with the process of installing libraries and other systems on your own machine so you can set up a development environment that is usable. And most important of all. Learn how to use a version control system like Git or Mercurial or SVN.

once you've got a good feel for these tools you'll be able to start writing applications without shooting yourself in the foot. at this point you should just pick a type of application and do one.

for example you mentioned that you were interested in building a website. Javascript is a core technology for that but you'll also need to learn about HTTP and how the client/server model works. you'll need to learn more about the front-end technology stack (Javascript, HTML, CSS). you'll need to learn about how to interface with a datastore of some kind (probably a relational database like MySQL or PostgreSQL). you'll need to learn about server side languages (almost anything works but PHP, Python, and Ruby are the most popular right now) and will probably want to learn about a Web Framework written in one of those languages (like Rails for Ruby or Django for Python).

it sounds like alot, and it is, but you don't have to swallow it all at once. every application domain is going to be similarly complicated in its own unique ways, but there are good beginner entry points into each of them. (for example, the Django tutorial https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/)

the important thing is to learn by doing. its not enough just to know the basics of how to write small programs in one or more languages. the complexity of application development comes at the integration level, where you are trying to get many functional components to work together and do what you want without bugs. there's no good way to learn this besides just practice. like any knowledge domain, its large and complicated and you can study it for years and still have just scratched the surface, but you've got to start somewhere and you'll learn more and more with every passing day. don't feel overwhelmed. just learn your tools and then start with a small project in your domain of choice.
I won't dispute that they're far more relevant today, but I disagree that they were borderline irrelevant circa 2005. They were quite successful selling Macs and had a credible alternative to the Windows monopoly.

The iOS stuff certainly moved them to a whole new plane of success, but I don't have to like it.
I imagine the reason that it's done is because rejecting it gives spammers more information that could possibly be used to get around the rejection. It's much harder if they aren't sure whether or not the message was received.

Whether or not that's appropriate is another thing, but that is probably the rationale behind it.
From what I've heard, a VA starts at around $250 per month for dedicated service if you source them yourself. If they're really good, you can retain them for $400 per month. $400 per month is $100 per week which is $2.50 per hour. They can make a profit in that space.
Which is an example of a web service. Are you sure you're on the right web site ?
