I agree that its not that simple and the 'society' needs to get more comfortable with assertive women. But, having a women specific organization does not answer that challenge. If anything, it creates a further divide by driving the society away... the best way to change this vicious cycle is to assimilate into the society and changing it from within.
On the third page of the article, there's a screenshot of the fake company website where the command and control servers resided, set up by the CIA/whoever back in 2006.

Today, if you search for the specific phrases used in the navigation bar, Google returns only 3 websites:

https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&output=search&...
The terms are:
"media planning" philosophy "creative services" "search solutions" ecrm "ad serving"

Sadly, these sites just look spammy rather than fake sites set up by the CIA (and Alexa shows some SEO work has been done.... but that could be part of the facade).

Still, fishing for CIA CNC servers sounds like a fun game, they must be out there today. Anyone have any ideas how to find them?

With respect to Myo vs Leap.

Tracking is much precise than EMG based posture estimation. Unless these guys made a leap of at least one order of magnitude compared to current state of the art, expect the LEAP to be buch better in terms of gesture recognition.

Furthermore, this thing only allows the recognition of 20 gestures. That is about log 20 bit every few seconds. On the other hand, the LEAP will give you at least 10 finger positions plus rotations (thats more than 2^10 bits) every few milliseconds.

I think if people will get used to LEAP based HCI, they will not look at Myo, no matter if you can go to the kitchen with it.
What would the OP build?
I think the parent comment is absolutely right, more competition in the industry can only be a good thing from a societal perspective, as the highest quality workers take the jobs from the poor performers. Obviously from your perspective it might be worrisome, especially (and I apologize for getting personal) with all that stuff coupled with student loans, but surely it's a net societal good.
a big ass awesome boat.
Yes, not to mention many of the other forumites. Though I haven't been active over there for a while now.
It might be more valuable simply by virtue of not being a product of this mindset. Certainly nobody on HN is going to tackle a problem that might take five years to bring to market, even as we adore products that obviously took more than six months to produce (the iPhone, the Roadster, etc.)
I don't disagree with your assertion, but how do you deal with the fact that there is a finite number of qualified people who can sit on boards?

Its not like there are 10,000 past CEOs willing to sit on the boards of these companies.

I think it is a really tough challenge, and one that is not easily solved.
It's a category of web service. Other examples are services which take huge numbers of photos from lots of different users and process them, or files from millions of devices for backup. These Apple cannot do well.
This is a really good criticism of the current system. I know someone who attempted to get a sleep study done but insurance denied it. The doctor's response was basically "oh well, looks like there's nothing we can do".
Well I wasn't talking about particular health-care systems, but rather about good doctors, of which you can find everywhere, albeit in a minority.

I don't live in the US. I live in Romania, which has a ruined public healthcare system, but even here I've met medical personnel that's worth their salt.

As an example my now 3-year old suffered from a severe allergic reaction called "Lyle's syndrome" (look it up). We went to the hospital in the early stages and the doctor that took the case immediately recognized it, even though at first it looked like some kind of severe cold/flu (coming in combination with tonsillitis and fever).

After several hours of being hospitalized, his skin pealed off in certain areas, but he was already on both antibiotics and corticoids and so the reaction wasn't so severe as it could have been (imagine your whole skin pealed off, with the same effect as second or third-degree burns). And the problem with weird allergic reactions is that antibiotics from the cephalosporins class or other medicine that produces allergic reactions can kill you.

Also, our doctor went basically blind for the whole time, because the blood tests you perform when the patient is under treatment are mostly useless, being used only to discover how well or not the patient is responding to treatment. For instance she discovered a bacterial infection, which is known to cause Lyle's syndrome, but was it an external infection that caused it or because of an imbalance of intestinal flora due to antibiotics? We also gave him antibiotics before hospitalizing him, that might have also caused this reaction. Lyle's syndrome is known to be caused by both antibiotics and bacterial infections.

The root cause in the case of Lyle's syndrome is extremely important because the treatment and severity of the reaction differs. Our doctor basically took a guess based on how his skin looked.
Are packages not updating because it's a lot of work, or because updating will break backwards-compatibility?
To make things even more confusing there is both a "browser mode" and a "documents mode", both containing all the versions of IE7,8,9 plus documents mode containing IE9-compatibility-mode whatever that is. Setting any combination of the two options is valid.
I have been running Django 1.5 on Python 3.3 since 1.5c1 - ran into zero problems. It is solid...

but... a lot of packages are not ready for 3 yet. So it depends how far you want to go.. Playing around by yourself? I'd go with Python 3... if you need to leverage a lot of the packages you'll need to drop down to 2.7

Some state lawmaker who doesn't think out the consequences of a bill or gets caught in one of those "think of the children" moments writes up a crappy law.

I do believe in the 90's some extremely green (in many ways) congress-critter wrote a law that would basically make farming illegal in the USA and require quite a lot of buildings to be torn down (like the whole states of SD,ND, and WY). Bill did get some co-sponsors (tells you a little about the world there). One house rep pointed out due to the wording that all building within a mile of Central Park would have to be torn down. So ended the bill.
Low carb diets became popular with the plebs, so a crypto low-carb diet is needed.
> I don't 100% get the band limited signal bit. [...]

If I can venture yet another explanation for this. Consider the projection

π:signals --> signals,

which corresponds to band limiting a signal to 20k[Hz].
Given any signal in the "time basis" x(t) we can transform
it to the "frequency basis" X(f) and in the frequency basis
the action of the filter is to leave all the frequencies
< 20k unchanged and to set to zero all frequencies f > 20k.
This is similar to the way the projection onto the x axis
leaves the x coordinates of vectors unchanged and sets the
y coordinate to zero.

> Can the converter itself not create the signal incorrectly?
>

Let x the signal and π(x) be the band limited version of x.
The video is talking about the general properties of projections,
namely:

π(π(x)) = π(x).

The time you project you change the signal (restricts to subspace f<20k in freq. domain),
but there is no further harm done by projecting multiple times.
Damn straight foo'. And dont you forget it!

The question I have presented here does not imply an old traditional development model where you keep working on something for years and then release it to the public. You can use agile or whatever model deem appropriate to you. The question is about What would you FOCUS on for 5 years even if you don't see a light of success and keep working on it.

A digestive system simulator. Input your biomarkers and some other statistics about yourself and your level of activity. Select a food and quantity. It will tell you how your body would process it. How much would turn to fat, how it will affect your blood sugar, and other consequences of eating it. It could possibly be paired with a blood sugar monitoring device that is always attached to your finger. You'll be able to do fun stuff, like find out how many Pop Tarts you need to eat to get diabetes, etc. We are getting sick eating modern food and most of us are oblivious to it. This will help open some eyes.
Sorry, I meant intentionally crashing drone into drone - let's call it hunter killer drones. My ardu-pilot drone swarm can take out your million buck drone over the parts of the city I dont want you looking at. Probably.

OS X and iOS share a lot of the same core code base, so of course there is going to be cross-pollination features-wise. Why should the migration of features to solve problems common to both platforms indicate you should start worrying about Apple locking down the Mac?

Guess what: when Macs get touch screens, more Launchpad is going to make more sense, and full screen is going to be even better. That doesn't mean that Apple is going to start locking down the Mac. Indeed, as time goes on and their less technical users migrate to iOS instead, they have even less incentive to further lock down the Mac.
I got a 17" Macbook Pro in 2009 (when they were still riding the wave of the iPhone) because it was a solid piece of hardware and gave me a sweet spot of down-the-road-choice (I exchanged the cd bay with another hdd, added Ram, installed Linux). I was looking forward to buying further Macbooks in the future.

All that was shattered with their new Macbook lineup (which are pretty much just beefier MB Airs). They flat out killed the 17" (which I still consider the perfect on-the-go workstation).

I considered Apple very relevant around the iPhone release. The current direction is not the iPhone direction. It is the iPad direction. That's when they started to go somewhat batshit on driving away professional users. They could have maintained both camps pretty handily in my opinion. Both camps were quite happy and got along great. Why they decided to kill off one is beyond me. Sure, there is more money in everyday clients, but I doubt they were actually hurting their business with power users.

Consider this: When I - a staunch defender of FOSS, user of Kubuntu, Free Software programmer, ardent antagonist of everything Microsoft - got my Macbook, I actually started recommending Macs as a choice to others. It actually did seem to me a better choice than going with Microsoft Windows. These days, I recommend Windows 7.

That's what they have accomplished.
And this is relevant to this thread how? Who is lobbying for universal areal secrecy?

BTW: you're confusing "should" with "does". I'm quite aware of how the American government works, and realize it places self-interest above even lobbyists.
>Their store for physical goods goes down every time they make a significant change to the product offerings.

Many years ago it used to go down for technical reasons.

Now it is purely PR/Marketing. They get massive traffic spikes whenever it goes up and it instantly results in thousands of web pages going up with free PR. Why would you give that up ?
Two cases I've found in the past:

* Styling important content links for print. An anchor tag isn't clickable in print media, potentially leaving important citation information out. You can use attr to put it back in.

* Sometimes you find yourself debugging device/browser where you don't have a powerful inspector/debugger. Being able to make attribute data visible can help.

Why does the app install feature have to be tied to Google+?

Android and Google+ are totally separate things. Please give Android developers the equivalent of Apple's app banners without jumping through hoops and sending people to Google+.
I don't know the ins and outs of Windows to a great degree, but that reads like an exploit waiting to happen.

Is this sort of functionality still present in Windows? If so, are they idiots or what?
I've had hearing aids for 20+ years. I occasionally try the tele-coil in locations that have them. I am always disappointed; the quality is just not there. It sounds (haha) like the OP didn't have a very good audiologist, one that did not go through the full range of options with him.

It's also possible that my loss is not severe enough to be satisfied with the tinny tele-coil quality.

I believe the tele-coil technology was developed to enable the use of phones with hearing aids. The aid, when used with an old-style phone held in a normal position, is close enough to pick up the magnetic field directly from the handset speaker. Not very useful for today's phones though.
Around here, we pronounce it "liberry", though.

Not just contrib.admin, but also contrib.auth.

It's very easy to extend the existing user model rather than creating one from scratch. I had to do some unconventional auth stuff recently and I only extended auth.User slightly (and also wrote a slightly modified authentication backend).
Don't forget Tesla, SpaceX that certainly took more than 6 months to even design it.
And here I was, thinking my girlfriend was the "odd one" just because she was (genuinely) laughing when a male coworker made a sexy(ist?) joke at her expense just ten minutes ago and never felt threatened of her own worth as a person in our male-dominated school (maybe 50 girls for about 5000 students).

Though I do resent you a bit now, I was really thinking I had found "the one" but you've taken a part of what made her unique and made it appear mundane :(
>You shouldn't trust any company. Not Apple, not Microsoft, and not Google

Agreed. It's very difficult to convey this point, however. People don't really listen once you say these sorts of things. Even if they do, they don't change the way they work with those companies. This is especially true with Facebook. I've shown a lot of scary practices of Facebook to various people. All agree that Facebook is therefore pretty dangerous but continue to use it on a daily basis.

>"the cloud" is a stupid idea.

I do take issue with "the cloud" regarding the issues of your things not belonging to you, privacy issues, etc. There are benefits to e.g. hosting providers. I also would love Dropbox if my files were encrypted and impossible to view by staff.

The bottom line is that we need more companies who insure privacy rather than just claiming to respect it even though they store large quantities of personal information. Other such companies should work to avoid vendor lock-in.
Rejecting white flour is not the same thing as claiming you cannot tolerate any gluten whatsoever.
Well there goes another business if this passes.

I live on a small farm in (obviously) a rural area. There are people whose business model consists of coming to the front door to show you a small aerial photo of your house and asking if you want to buy the framed 18"x30" version.

Not my cup of tea, but has it even begun to cross the minds of legislators in the mostly rural state of New Hampshire that there are many legitimate businesses that need to do aerial photography?

Just when you thought you'd finally seen the bottom of the stupidity cup, you find there's still more to go!

This sort of legal logic-twisting is more common than we like to admit.
1) Take a topic that has some legal buzz.
2) Draft a law that, on the surface, seems to do something about it while actually doing nothing or the opposite of what it seemed to intend.
3) Sit back and collect the cheers of the ignorant proles.
e.g. Gun Owner's Protection Act of 1986, PATRIOT Act, ad nauseum.
WebObjects never took off because of pricing.

While I'm giving out free advice I have no intention of acting on, consider tackling a problem with a significant initial investment in personnel. Nobody on HN is interested in launching a startup with a bunch of employees. If you find a niche where you would need that you can expect not to have much competition from folks around here.
I would finally finish my goddamn compiler for my goddamn systems programming language.

I'm honestly considering just tearing out my type system and type-inference so I can implement something in there that has actually been verified as formally valid. Waiting months at a time just to get my stupid paper reviewed again is boring and useless.

If I had money, I would also hire some professional web designers to help me make my web-app for using Bayesian reasoning to replace tech recruiters. Launching the thing as a lifestyle business is really appealing, but I can't web-design for crap.
When one of the features they migrate makes it so that the default state of a Mac is to obstruct running any software not approved by Apple, it starts to make sense to think in this direction. Full screen/launchpad are irrelevant.
I was responding to the specific portion of the parent comment I quoted, nothing more.
Anecdotal: I wrote a Google Reader API library in Python 2 that I'm working on porting to Python 3 and it really hasn't been that bad. I had some HTTP dependancies on urllib/urllib2 but requests (with a py3 compatibility class) made it easy.

The port was requested by someone looking to build an RSS feed reader or checker in Sublime Text 3, which using Python 3.3. Things are moving forward.

We would find it unrealistic because Hollywood would get the details wrong. Encryption would be portrayed as wiggly squares on a screen. "Port scanning" would be confused with "hacking."

Why use this instead of a subreddit?

I'd love a great solution to this problem and I'd even consider trying to build one, but I am not sure there is any money in it.

One thing I'd love in an academic paper reader is something that allowed comments/annotations inline with the paper. For example, if a paper in the future contradicts something that is stated, you could add a comment linking to the contradiction. Or you could merely ask and provide clarifications, or comment on simpler alternatives to given part of the paper.

Also, I'd like to be able to rate papers for say, readability or difficulty, tag them as theoretical or empirical, etc.

I'd also like if cited papers were automatically dereferenced so I didn't have to hunt down the references myself.

Personalization would also be a nice feature. EG, recommend other papers by the same author, or other highly cited papers that cite/are cited a given paper, or frequent co-authors of some author that I like.

I'd love to be able to download a bunch of papers easily for offline viewing.
I really liked the idea that you added problem search as part of the product development. Many times investors want to invest in you if you already have the idea. It would be awesome to think some investment funds to just search for problems in specific domains!
