Not quite, socialism has been redefined to mean state involvement in the general public's consumers' economic lives at economy at all.

(Shoveling money to small private organizatons is the "non-socialist" economic function of government. This is paid for by debt (which is paid for by "some future sucker", since taxes are socialist.)
Using a Bitcoin address provided by a web site to store your coins is Extremely Unwise. You would be giving the owners of that site the power to steal your money later.

Promoting a site which gives a small convenience in exchange for the power to steal your Bitcoins is not okay. Even if the site's original creators are trustworthy, it can be broken into and perverted. You risk creating a repeat of MyBitcoin (an "online wallet service" run anonymously that predictably ran off with everyone's deposits).

Degrees from these schools serve as class signaling devices. They wouldn't be very effective if they recruited more than a token of poor or disadvantaged.
That is potentially problematic, but it's far from the atrocity that is a bank website limiting you to a 10 character password.
To be fair, at the bottom of the page he links to source and a zip that you can use to run internally if you so desire.

If it concerns you, then run it on your own machine.
Could you write a blog post about building the mobile app in Clojure?
Just because it's a non-profit doesn't mean the institution isn't out for all the money it can get its hands on. It means that there aren't owners who are able to get the profits distributed to them in some form. But having more money rolling in means a lot to the careers of college leadership, even if they don't own the university - they can expect more prestige and power, distributing travel grants to faculty in the underwater basket-weaving department and whatnot... and generally buffing their resumé in case any other interesting college wants to hire them away.
I actually emailed my credit union, pleading for them to increase their 10 character limit to something reasonable, and got a response saying that the way their database handles passwords made it impossible.

Needless to say, I found that to be even more disconcerting than the existence of the character limit.
Lowest Cost Raspberry Pi Microcomputer Now On Sale In The U.S. — $25 Model A
The article makes the plausible claim (but perhaps incorrect) that Dakota is tapping less than 1% of the addressable market, and has shown a sustainable MVP.

The cancer example does not have these qualities.
I own a group of radio stations. We pay about 5% of our sales to music licensing costs.

Frankly I never cease to be amazed at what a great deal that is compared to how Spotify / Pandora / etc are getting screwed big time on licensing fees.

Traditional radio was / sometimes still is an extremely profitable business. Once you exceed basic costs, it's all gravy minus sales commissions and some production costs on commercials etc. Radio is basically one giant sales business.

It seems as though for radio, from day one, it was heavily a promotional medium for selling physical records, with the added bonus of a sales cut for the music industry. With the move to digital music, I think they stopped looking at it as a means of promotion so much and wanted to own the whole channel (as much as possible). Short sightedness, spurred on by a mixture of fear (eg Napster) and greed (opportunity to rewrite the distribution rules).
I wonder how they're going to get around the problem of malicious collectives and Sybil attacks, given the anonymity constraint. You should be able to set up dozens of fake accounts to vouch that you're a "good" person, or that someone else is a "bad" person, use astroturf tactics to wage malicious campaigns against other parties, and basically sow havoc.
Does Google honoring Cesar Chavez on Easter Sunday offend you?
Main point:

"AM and FM are being eliminated from the dash of two car companies within two years and will be eliminated from the dash of all cars within five years."
Because they're not separate languages. CoffeeScript and JavaScript share semantics, making them trivially interoperable (unlike, for example, Dart).

Whether or not a library happens to be written in CoffeeScript is immaterial to your use of it as a JavaScript developer. Now, if the docs aren't good enough because they don't cater to your preferred language reading choices, then that's a legit beef, and it's a documentation deficiency that should be fixed. No need for knee-jerk "dislike".
Jailbreak for iPhone Almost Ready
I've been thinking a lot about radio as I've watched my hometown market of Boston - once vibrant and varied - consolidate under the big boys.
One path forward is to swing the pendulum the other way: offer hyper localized, focused content relevant to the geography. As a lover of rock music, a station that plays emerging artists from Allston and Berkeley School of Music would have me over the moon. College radio does this to an extent, but they still have to contend with crippling costs.

My facebook feed has been blowing up with this, everyone seems offended, but I live in the south and that's not terribly surprising.

One thing that wasn't clear in the protocol or explanation page was the favorite-of-a-favorite discovery.

I'm assuming this works by including your personal favorites in your meta torrent, so when people get your new content, they also get a list of who you've favorited?

Does this also mean that the meta update notification gets sent out when I favorite / de-favorite someone?
A few observations:

Many of the bitcoin mining rigs out there are operating on either "borrowed" or idle equipment- at least part of the energy on these rigs would have been wasted anyway.

Creating any good, be it the next version of Warcraft, or mining real physical gold, has a natural resource consumption associated with it. Bitcoin comes out smelling like a rose compared to real gold mining- even a dirty Chinese coal power plant can't hold a candle to the scale of earth movers, decapitated mountains, and cyanide leach ponds, particularly per dollar equivalent of real gold generated.

(But mined gold has real-world physical uses besides stores of value, right? Well, not really. The amount of gold used to make jewelry (used in many cultures as a store of value) roughly equals the amount of gold mined in a given year. Everything else comes from existing stock, recycling and reuse.)
Living Alone May Be Hazardous to Your Health
And this is why debating words is idiotic, when we should be debating ideas.
Here's the interaction, though: A person _can_ get books from the library written by experts in any field, and a sufficiently motivated student can learn that way.

A person _can_ also be a solo founder. But you know, that's kind of hard. Sticking through it every day is a lot easier if there's someone besides you who cares, and someone besides you who notices if you stop really working at it.

To say that the social experience does not contribute to learning on a college campus is to miss that _determination_ is the thing that's most difficult, and that the external situation you set up as your learning environment can have a pretty big impact on that determination.

Which of your classes did you learn from and remember the best? For me, it's those classes where I had great problem set sessions with my friends. That's what stuck.

(My startup is working on this problem.)
That's quite an interesting mix of people, it's not all "geeks and nerds"
On the contrary, I said what I think would be an effective challenge to the TSA above. Shooting yourself in the foot (argumentatively, by unilaterally declaring the entire government to be illegitimate on spurious grounds) and then hopping about saying 'look what you made me do!' is not an effective way of changing things.
Gee, that's a bit intolerant, isn't it? Do you similarly flag all Clojure and Rails posts on HN, because you're just not interested?
This is good if it means Internet infrastructure gets treated with a new level of respect, as it is now the defacto emergency broadcast system.
No doubt quite intentional. Google needs some "brand ambassadors" to make Glass look hip, rather than something that only nerds wear. They definitely need it, seeing as people wearing Google Glass just look weird.
PostgreSQL today has synchronous and asynchronous master/slave replication built in. The dev team is working on master/master replication (or peer-to-peer, as you called it).
Did you know that the entire lean movement grew out of car manufacturing industry? Lean applies different to assembly line and engineering, but it still applies. The key premise of lean is waste reduction, on car manufacturing it means ironing out bugs from repetitive processes (among other things), in software engineering it means reducing the cumulative cost of all iterations required to ship a useful product.
I think a setting to only use WiFi would be valuable for a lot of users.
FWIW I just updated LibreOffice to 4.0.1.2 from 4.0.0 and cannot reproduce the issue with the steps in the bugzilla link so there may be some additional requirement for the bug to surface. Possibly a GPU from a specific manufacturer?
The amazing thing is that excellent students from poor schools really should apply to the elite private universities, because the private schools will pretty much pay for their education through their huge endowments. It's a much better path than going through state universities, where even the poorest have a huge loan debt by the time they graduate.

The OP is right about the recruiting efforts of the private universities. It's not just the rural schools they skip. My son went to a high school near San Diego that straddles the border between an middle class area built in the 50s and a low income area. The student body is about 40% suburban white, 25% Hispanic, 10% recently moved from Iraq (Chaldean), and the rest African American, Native American and other minorities. It has a 7 out of 10 California high school rating, so it's not that bad.

There were no recruiters from "elite" private schools. The best students typically go to University of California, either USCD, UCLA, or Berkeley. The next level goes to the other UCs, especially Irvine or Riverside. Many go to San Diego State University, and the rest who continue their education go to community college.

My son loves economics, and got it early in his head that he really wanted to go to University of Chicago. We were pretty poor at the time, as I was changing my career and working my way up in from the total bottom in a new field doing mainly freelance work.

My son worked really hard to get to UChicago. He attended a recruiting event in a downtown hotel he found out about on the internet. I borrowed money and we flew to Chicago for an interview, staying in a sketchy hotel on the South Side. He applied for early admission and got accepted last year, the first student ever from his high school. They offered a financial package that pays almost everything.

His friends who are still at the school said that this year, for the first time, a recruiter from UChicago showed up. It is like my son put the school on their radar.

One thing we noticed as part of the process is that taking the PSAT is really important. It only costs about $20 and it's free in some schools. There might be something similar for the ACT.

My son did well on the PSAT and he got multiple letters from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, and other Ivies trying to lure him in. Also from elite private four-year colleges. So there is an outreach by those schools in this way. Often those letters would mention the possibility of almost full support for students that needed it.

I think the Ivies are trying to reach out to poorer students. It's just that it's hard for them to think out of the box created by their own privileged backgrounds and understand how to reach that demographic. But our experience is that they are sincerely trying, and if a student makes the effort, he can definitely get in.

I think one of the biggest barriers is that counselors in schools like my son's or the OP's don't even consider these schools for qualified students (are they uninformed? lazy? incompetent? complacent?). If they pushed harder, both to the Ivies and in guiding the students, it would help a lot.
Sorry, but "non-profit" does not mean altruistic. It's an exploited tax dodge a huge proportion of the time. Just look at the huge salaries in any successful non-profit, and you know they are not what they position themselves as.

The use of watch seems pretty pointless here, since you specifically don't want the original watch(1) behavior of clearing the terminal and redrawing.

Equivalent and no special tool required:

while true; do make all; sleep 1; done

One problem that becomes apparent with a longer interval and longer rebuild times: if the make takes say 30s, and you're rebuilding every 60s, then your site will be updated every 1.5 minutes instead of every minute. Maybe not what you want.

A program you should really check out is trigger-listen [1]. It can run a command every minute regardless of how long the command takes to complete (as long as it takes < 1min). You can also trigger a rebuild whenever you want by writing a byte into a fifo. I use it to rebuild static sites when a certain branch is updated -- just do a trigger-pull in your git post-receive hook.

How much of the game changing behaviours in technology are coming from algorithms? To be honest, I think the biggest changes are coming from new data, and new social systems over which to build technologies.
The top artists are making huge amounts of money from touring.

eg Roger Waters' tour grossed $186 million on 72 shows. Madonna did $228 million.

They obviously don't get to keep that, but they get a very healthy cut.
Postgres won't let you perform any sufficiently long (read-only) queries on slaves. For example, I was unable to run pg_dumpall on a slave to have DB snapshots.

This is [well-explained](http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/201102272005.00234.jens...), but still inconvenient. This way, slaves are only useful for failover and possibly offloading very short read-only transactions, which is pretty limited.
Yeah, I probably should have expanded. Those jobs are often in fashion, journalism, and other fields that have a higher female to male ratio.
Quite a few of these winners, particularly the ones who are 'normal' that Google wanted to have as non-tech nerds, aren't actually going to fork over the $1000 for the glasses though. A friend of mine, a normal college girl, won 'the right to purchase a pair of Google Glasses', but says that she probably won't buy them since she can't justify the cost.

The ones who are most likely to fork over the $1000 are the tech nerds who place comparatively greater value on having early access to such gadgets. Google is probably going to see a strong skew towards tech nerds greater than the initial distribution of contest winner backgrounds.

I wonder what's going to happen with the left over Glasses.
It's strange, because your first description is exactly what it does. In each activity you can add a set of widgets and use certain applications, you can even configure the way the desktop is shown (Search and Run, Folderview) differently for each view.

I usually use two different Activities named Work and Fun. In Work I have my text editors, konsole with multiple tabs, a couple of widgets related to those apps, my work email and maybe some books for reference. In Fun I have the web browser, Ksudoku opened and widgets with jokes, rss feeds, email, weather information, etc.

It's easy to notice what I have configured: a distraction-free environment to focus on my work and a distraction-full one to relax; just two clicks between the them! Couple this with the Pommodoro technique (25 minutes, 5 minutes play) and KDE has made me a very productive and happy worker.

Hope my example helps.
Ask HN: disrupting fund management
in April 2011 IBM released a repirt that the fund management industry destroys $ 1.3 trillion globally each year - through bad advice, high fees, underperformance...etc. The report was pulled 4 days later...I've been in this industry
myself for a very long time and know that this figure is probably correct.That prompted me to create a platform that will allow a user to select from a number of academically and empirically researched investment approaches one or more that suits him/her, test it on the instrument of his/her choice and subsequently invest accordingly.
At the moment it is very patched up with no interface etc. Looking for pot. coder/CTO to turn this into a highly automated app through which at a second iteration a user can immediately invest automatically if so desired.
Any other ideas in this context very welcome.

That's true, but the code that generates the wallet is still sent over HTTP, so there is an opportunity for an attacker to insert malicious code. It would be a lot better if this was served over HTTPS, but then you still need to trust the author.
But it would undermine the "distributedness". Maybe Nightweb could serve a website on the device itself and one could use pagekite or a dynamic dns to serve it.

It's really sort of an interesting debacle. There's opportunities out there for both privileged and underprivileged families but often times the underprivileged are left completely oblivious while the privileged take full advantage. When you're rich, you're not just monetarily wealthy. You gain a lot of social and cultural capital that helps you maintain your wealth and assets, and that's something that frankly many poor people just don't get the opportunity to learn about. Believe it or not, most wealthy people who have been wealthy for a while are very good at knowing what helps them remain wealthy. In contrast, many underprivileged families don't know much about saving money at all. There's a great book that goes into a lot of detail about this. It's called the Meritocracy Myth. http://www.amazon.com/Meritocracy-Myth-Stephen-J-McNamee/dp/...
An interesting way to discover the world through coffee
Sure it would - all BigCo. has to do is point out that no human being rejected the applicants. For example, to reject older applicants just reject people based on salary expectations: younger workers will come in under the bar. BigCo. has a perfectly "legitimate" reason for all the older workers never getting an interview.

Just be creative with the criteria and filter based on the indirect criteria.

Why would I use that over a curated streaming playlist that does the same thing?
Thanks, figured that was the case.

Nice take on announce_meta, btw. I had mused over something similar (though not as well fleshed out) to the Nightweb concept but kept bumping my ahead against the notion of how to announce additional content when the bittorrent protocol ties info hashes (and magnet links) to a direct hash of the content - meaning you could never update something already announced for a specific key. And since the hashes are content based, it's not like you could say "my next content will be <<previous hash plus 1>>".

Extending the protocol to include a new announcement method side-steps this very nicely :) Kudos.

Is there any way you can preset a search path in your algorithm? Since these are heuristics based, it wouldn't be a bad idea to walk a finite subset of the game tree for each side and ensure the "best decisions" are made. You could also test subsets of the algorithm's nodes to determine they are pruned properly. My background is mainly in NLP, so I only have the basic knowledge of game playing, but usually bootstrapping manually can and is the best route..

Usually tests are deterministic, but when you start throwing probabilities in the mix, a max likelihood/score for anything usually comes down to a hand crafted situation..

The Ivy League cares a lot about "PC" diversity (race, gender, sexual orientation). But not so much about regional or ideological diversity. In fact, leadership activities and accomplishments that scream "red state" actually reduce your chances of getting into Harvard - being a leader in the ROTC cuts your admissions odds in half ceteris paribus[1].

Poor rural white kids don't go to Harvard.

Of course not. I was simply responding to the incorrect assertion that the concept of privilege isn't mentioned at all in the constitution. I pointed out that it is.

As far as the type of privilege, consider the privilege of immunity from arrest and accusations of libel etc., that members of Congress enjoy - but only within the legislature. This is a quite limited one, contingent on being a lawmaker and being engaged on legislative business. I mistakenly thought that this would be obvious from a reading of the text.

Of course I am not arguing that flying is a fundamental right. I rather describe it a privilege precisely because it is not fundamental, as observed upthread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5467700
