Respectfully, no. You're research isn't up to snuff.

The quote you provided has zero primary sources. It doesn't even have secondary sources. All it has is a bunch of Google results, where its misattribution is repeated (as if that makes it therefore true). Have you ever noticed how you never see that quote with an actual reference?

In the Nichomachean Ethics, irregardless of translations, your quote is absent. That quote you've shared is made up, not the product of a translation. Consult the Ethics themselves. A translator does not take a 30+ word sentence, cut it by a third, alter the meaning of the statement, and then let it pass. That is a paraphrase--and the one you've quoted is not even a paraphrase of any translation of the Ethics itself.

Look at the content of the statement from the Ethics. It is not the same as what you've posted. That should give you a full stop right there.

Goodreads is wrong. Your acceptance of the attributed quote is an error. When you're looking for a 'fair amount of sources' regarding quotations attributed to a philosopher who wrote in another language in another time, it's best to stick with the consensus of those who study and translate that philosopher and the primary and secondary source material available. There are myriad Aristotle experts who specialize in his works and translate them. You will find that none of them attribute your quote to Aristotle.

Note how the Wikipedia page does not include the quote you posted. Note how the Ethics does not contain the quote you posted--not in any translation. Why? Because Aristotle never said it, and the quote you've picked up from the internet is not saying the same thing.

I really wasn't trying to be rude. The rational thing to do here is to update your beliefs based on evidence. Your quote is not a bad quote. It's just not Aristotle's. The translations, though they may differ in some wording, carry the same meaning (which the internet-Aristotle-quote does not):

[paraphrase mine]
> An educated mind is noted by its ability to be satisfied by the precision allowed by a given subject, while not demanding exactitude where only approximation can be attained.

Of course, there's the second part of the quote (in some translations), where Aristotle expounds (again, paraphrase mine):

> The educated person would not ask a rhetorician for scientific proof of his statements; neither would she ask a mathematician to reason in probabilities alone.

---
I was trying to be helpful, not argumentative. Since you're still wanting to stand your ground that your quote is actually from Aristotle, I have to point out that your sources are unreliable to reference in proving your point. Go to the primary sources, not other websites that are re-quoting the same quote you did. That's as kindly as I can put it without just dismissing this as you refusing to update your beliefs based on sufficient evidence.
For a small 4-6 people team, a comparable product will cost you about $100. Even if you have 10 chat conversations a day, it will cost only about $19 for all the team members to participate using Gaglers.

We think encouraging more team members to participate in the conversations gives the company lot of good karma with your customers as well.
I was a bit appalled by the ludicrous approach toward safety. I would rather get fired over a crusted fuse than live with being responsible for a death. This whole "debug the fire" thing really smacks of 80s era business dick wagging.
This is ok if costs are fixed, but if costs aren't fixed you should maximize profit, not revenue. Drugs, in particular, don't have fixed costs because they can be bought in greater quantities at lower per-unit cost as demand increases; there are strong economies of scale.
Don't think you'd need to change any code, just pull mercurial tip and recompile go and the app.
Arch has been using Python 3 for quite a long while, now.

However, any push that allows us to use 3.3 is a great thing. I've been reading the 3.3 docs and being like, neat feature! Then switching back to the 2.7 docs and realising I can't use it :(
I really don't understand the notion that SourceForge is dead and no one uses it anymore.

Just to name a few. As a project admin of fceultra I cannot say that I'm 100% pleased with the UI of the bugtracker and the sf does have its quirks, but sourceforge has had a much better track record than github in respect to uptime. My question to you is "Why not?"
As someone who actually has lived around the world, I find "counting countries" to be in poor taste. It's not as if you can have a meaningful experience of the people and culture(s) in such a short while. What does it really signify that you have "done" India or Nigeria or Brazil?

These lists always remind me of something else that an uncouth young man might brag about - but a gentleman would never.

I am going to attempt answering your question from the Job perspective.

If you are going to be working in Financial Industry in Capital markets -- pay close attention to Java concurrency.

If you looking to work in large companies with Enterprise applications, pay attention to ESB technolgies usch as Mule or Camel ( you need to be very adept all java based XML technologies e.g JAXB, XSLT, XPath etc.) TIBCO would be super helpful in getting those jobs.

The of course there is JSF. This POS has been sold to all enterprises as the frickin' holy grail of web application development by likes of IBM, Oracle. Knowing JSF would increase your likelihood of full time permanent employment. The downside is the PHB that will come with this job. On a related note, you can go ahead and forget swing -- very companies use it nowadays.

And at every Java interview , every techie will ask you about a. Singletons, b. JDBC Transactions c. Spring d. Hiberbnate.

Hope this helps.
PIL barely works on python 2. You can't even install the official distribution inside a virtualenv without running into problems, so I don't expect them to sort anything out quickly.

Pillow works on py3 as others have already mentioned.

If you aren't confident you can do it better, then go find something you're more confident in.

Getting a business profitable and scaled is about doing it better. You need to maximize your impact through careful positioning.

Also:

- If it takes you 8 months to build a prototype, you need to either learn to build things faster or find ideas with a smaller MVP spec.
- Don't be surprised things already exist or people are working on similar things. It happens all of the time. If it doesn't happen to you, you're lucky -- not vice versa.
I had the pleasure of meeting with the Mailjet folks in New York a few weeks ago. We got in to a deep technical discussion about email infrastructure. I left the conversation really impressed by the team and their approach to the service they're building. There are a lot of cloud emailing companies now and some good history of what others have done. Mailjet's doing some great work and I'm looking forward to even more good things from them. Congratulations on the partnership with OVH!
I find the idea of putting together what is nominally dry economic analysis with a colorful story about drug dealers an interesting technique for making it more fun to read.

I'm guessing that guys who run state wide drug businesses do not show spreadsheets of their business to blogging economists :-)
No, Bitcoin has never fallen to zero.

These threads are full of misinformation and knee-jerk reactions to a problem so minor that it is barely worth noticing. And the title ("Coinbase User Data Leak?") is misleading - where's the zealous title editing now? The Reddit thread is even worse. This is more revealing of the HN community than it is of Coinbase, who hasn't done anything wrong. Disgusting.

Did you guys turn on byte code caching for all the PHP frameworks? If not, then I recommend everyone ignore these benchmarks until that is completely done.
Can i learn to code?
I am 34 and i have a business administration background. Is is difficult to pick up coding at that age ? I am taking CS50 online classes at Harvard in order to pick up some coding. But i have a full time job which i cant quit for the next 1-2 years, thus i can only devote up to 1 hour/day for coding. Is it doable ?
"is probably being done better than I can do it" .. probably you answered your own question with this. How are you going to take him on based on one feature if he is better? IMHO, Get going on another idea.

This is an awesome project, and thank you for the follow-up.

In particular, this is awesome because it's introduced me to some new frameworks that I hadn't even heard of (ie vert.x) that seem extremely interesting.

Keep it up and many thanks for this contribution!
I don't see how BIOS signing could be really that important.

BIOS flash must be write protected in silicon before the OS boots to prevent flashing by pwned kernel or drivers so we can assume that only BIOS setup application can touch BIOS flash. Flashing inside BIOS setup application can be prevented by password. And if somebody has physical access to the motherboard to reset this password it's game over anyway.

Call me when somebody leaks something interesting or useful like the Secure Boot private key of Microsoft.

I don't want to sound glib or anything, but here's a thought... why not call them up and ask them? Companies aren't just nameless, faceless entities sitting out there waiting to sue the pants off of people. They have people, people you can call and talk to and negotiate with, etc. Find a contact there, and see if you can get somebody to introduce you to them. Failing that, cold call them and explain what you're doing and see where they stand.

Who knows, best case maybe they say "Sure, you can call it Dropbox Tunes, but you'll have to license our trademark from us. Since your thing is complementary, we'll license it to you for $1.00 / year" or something. Worst case, they say "Hell no, if you do anything like that we're suing your ass into the ground". Well, at least now you know, right?
There must be few original ideas out there, or few that are original for long. Maybe get some feedback on what you've done.

Nice to look at, for some people. Many couldn't care less. Of course, it's subjective. Bitcoins have value for some because those people value bitcoins over other things, like US dollars. It's a subjective value judgment why anyone trades one thing (dollars) for anything else (stamps, bitcoins, diamonds).
I think that you and your peers have very realistic expectations of the post-PhD landscape. And I think that these expectations are exactly what this article (and the similar article by Benton that was linked therein) is trying to cultivate.

Because I don't think that this expectation really exists in the US. I have close friends who are pursuing PhDs in mathematics and literature and have consequently met a great many PhD candidates in both of those fields. Almost all of them, with few exceptions, expect that they will get a good post-doc position and, following that, will get a good tenure track position. They have no backup plans, they have no skills that could provide them a job in anything but academia, and it's not hiring.

But I think this criticism is the same that HN readers have, just better expressed. When I read these criticisms here, I don't take away a pervasive thought that people believe a literature PhD (for example) to be worthless on its own. Instead, I see a lot of criticism of the expectation that one would get a PhD and everything would simply work out.

I'm sure that there are some HN criticism that a literature PhD is inherently worthless. But I think (and hope) that this is the distinct minority. But I do see a lot of messages critical of the fact that one spent x years working on a PhD and has developed no skills beyond the ability to critically analyze Beowulf and has no backup plan if the job market for fine arts PhDs was poor (and it is). And while the tone may be exceptionally callous, this expectation and this behavior should be criticized.
It's my first blog post, be gentle, please. And thanks.

That the reason is not apparent to you doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist or is invalid. You don't solve issues by assuming the other side is acting in bad faith, fabricating strawmen and indulging in revenge fantasies.

True, but there is a difference between well-crafted jokes about a crude subject and crudely fashioned jokes.
Four months per country would be the average, but the distribution wouldn't be equal like that, especially because I doubt anyone trying to do this would plan a separate trip for each country. If you wanted to, you could fairly easily fly into somewhere in the Schengen zone, get a rail pass, and do all 26 countries in the zone in a couple of months' time, without any visas, and staying in hostels you booked along the way. The only planning you'd need to do would be to book airfare, and that would give you a fair bit more wiggle room for the rest of the world.
It scares me that you're just going for "difficult to scrape" and "not make them easily indexible by Google." We don't want it to be hard to get our personal information, we want it to be impossible.

Scott encoding doesn't get much publicity but its perfectly valid and much more intuitive, IMO.

Yes, a 25 year old female founder. 3 engineers, 1 ex-radio industry veteran, and ~5 other team players.

She got started last year, went through a rough patch with a different designer+developer team, had to rethink everything, and then in Jan of 2013 -- landed an amazing marketing opportunity for the site which will air later this year. Very proud of their accomplishments, especially in a city like Austin where consumer startups are much more difficult.

Please show her and her team some HN love, feedback, etc. I've been a member at HN for a long time so I'll be here to answer any questions.
Hey, looks like a good approach on a problem indeed. One tip though... try to eliminate at least half of the copy in your landing page. Add more bold headlines and limit the paragraphs to 2-3 lines max.
It seems like you're still using Mongo DB as the datastore for some languages and Mysql as the datastore for other languages. This seems like it would bias the results.
Thanks for the kind words. Glad to hear that you've been introduced to some new frameworks, we feel the same way, and we're excited to see what else the community has up it's sleeve.
I know this is terribly pedantic, but seeing the name of the blog like that in the HN title rubs me the wrong way.

Announcing Faster Deployments with Zero Downtime
That is a much more eloquent version of what I was getting at, thank you :) To be clear, I don't really think closures are "bigger" conceptually either. I can't properly recall a time I understood one and not the other... It may be that understanding of both came simultaneously, as a humble student in a single moment of enlightenment.
The reason that people prefer per-seat is because humans historically have a great fear large downsides. Paying per-seat is a form of insurance - I know I'm paying a premium but I won't get any shocks that the end of the month.

oh yes, no doubt about that :). They might be better so serve content to you by knowing more about you. Lots of (young)users will not care. Still it would be good to educate us more about how they use our data.

The source code for the engine should compile without the assets. Or at least with some minor modification to the source tree. Take a look at these other commercial games who have released the source code of the engine but kept the assets proprietary:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_Nukem_3D
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_%28series%29 (1, 2, and 3)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quake_%28series%29 (1, 2, 3, and 4)

I'm confident that there are others but I can't think of any off-hand. These open source contributions are a gift that allows the open source community to create ports to initially unsupported platforms and to enhance the engine. Have you checked out any of the enhanced doom ports? (http://dengine.net/). There are even user-contributed HD assets for Duke Nukem 3d (http://hrp.duke4.net/download.php).
> Intangible ? Bitcoins ?

Yes, like all digital goods, bitcoins are intangible.

> I would say the dollar is pretty much intangible.

Aside from the physical ones, that is correct. So what? I didn't argue that being intangible distinguished Bitcoins for dollars. I presented problems with Bitcoins as a currency, and then noted the "intangible" as an issue with them as a non-currency collectors item if they failed as a currency.

> And my $10 in 2005 had more purchasing power than my $10 do now.

So?

> Effectively having bitcoin means each time you buy something over a period of time they cost you less.

Yes, the fact that BTC has a built-in hoarding incentive and disincentive both for spending and investment is a problem for it as a currency (medium of exchange), since, were it widely accepted as a primary currency it would drive resources out of productive investment, and reduce the rate of technological progress and economic activity.

Being different is easy: you can always be cheaper. Selling your product as a 'cut-down, cheaper alternative to BrandX' is an age old tactic that really works if your marketing is right. It's not the most glamourous business model ever but it definitely works.

Just because I'm curious, why approach investors after the product is built in 4 months? If you can afford to eat for that long, work twice as hard to get the product done in 2 months, and then spend 2 months doing selling. You won't starve to death and you'll retain full control.

If that isn't an option, you should be setting up investor meetings right now.
Lol. True. Can't hurt to ask.

I don't disagree at all, I'm just pointing out it requires an extra layer of logistics and maintenance that may outweigh the benefits of the beautiful URL. And in the rise of URL shorteners and the proliferation of UrL sharin/discovery via social media, I'd argue that the beauty-effect of URLs is even further diminished.
Reading this the same morning as that high school girl ranting about how no white kids will get into college because of affirmative action has really kind of soured my feelings on humans for the morning.
The article quotes the 78% instead of the paper's 59.7% conclusion. Furthermore they use the present tense when the paper is about the blockchain as of May 13th 2012. It's very misleading.
I've worked on something for four years, then went to market it and saw that it had already existed for a decade.

But, of course, I already knew that I was not unique.

The reason I spent so much time on it is because I have a small but active community of users who like it very much. I am not confident I can monetize it (it's a chatboard service), so I may ditch my "chatboard as a service" plans, but I will continue to work on it.

Maybe I should forge ahead with the CaaS plan anyway, just to see if I can get any takers? A handful of paying customers would be better than none, after all.
Manipulating other's statements is what I am criticizing.

Since we moved to a different benchmarking tool for round 2, we had to re-run all the tests, which is a time consuming process, especially on the EC2 hardware. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, we have an easier time running and processing results for individual tests. So stay tuned!
