The CC3000 is IPv4 only - what the fk?! I understand it greatly increases cost in manufacturing, but isn't one of the key sale points of IPv6 that the IPv4 address space is going to run out in part because of the Internet of Things!?

The big question is , what are these interesting jobs and where are they going to come from?

Intellectual output can be much more easily and freely copied than physical labour (e.g software,music etc) so do we really need billions of mediocre scientists/programmers/artists or just a few million good ones who's work everyone else can reap the benefit from?
It seems it changed from Google Maps to OpenStreetMap. I would like to know/understand why.
I sometimes think that if Theodore Kaczynski was a fictional character in a Hollywood movie, he would be the hero, like a Neo...

Of course it would help if he looked like Keanu Reeves... and David Gelernter would have to be evil and played by James Woods or something. The shack in the woods in Montana didn't help either...
yes agreed - JetBrains has IdeaVim, but it is so lame compared to the real thing.
Bingo! This is what inspired me to develop the Convexity theory ( http://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2013/04/03/gervais-macle... ). It's a middle-ground between head-in-the-sand "nothing's changing" and the almost theological "Singularity".

These machines are powerful levers, but they still need movers, and there's no evidence that they'll become sentient or develop ulterior agendas. We'll just develop more convincing abstraction layers and delegating a greater share of the unpleasant, repetitive work.
Great work. I've been keeping a close eye on the CC3000 for some time. I've also looked at the Wi2Wi modules/chips. I've been working (whenever work and home allows) on some hardware to connect the CC3000 with a Xilinx FPGA. Hopefull, I will have some results soon.

Also, I really like seeing hardware on the front page.

In some areas of Boston, you'd actually see a large number of buildings still there from 1860--although that would be just a little early for the Back Bay to be fully completed. The aa in this photo is, to a large degree, the West End which was mostly torn down to construct the concrete monstrosity which is Government Center among other changes.
Mozilla webdev here. I could be wrong, but given that the repo is still on Josh's github account (https://github.com/jdm/asknot) rather than the official Mozilla organization (https://github.com/mozilla/), my guess is that it's not "official".

I'm almost certain we know about it after the last time it hit Hacker News, and given the amount of people contributing to it (https://github.com/jdm/asknot/commits/master) there's at least some level of effort in making it better, but it probably doesn't have priority over official entry points for contribution, like http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/contribute/
I always wondered why alcohol didn't get the same restrictions that cigarettes got: sure you can still buy marlboros anywhere, they are not banned and the police wont throw you in a cell for carrying a pack, but ads for tobacco are seriously curtailed if not outright forbidden in most places and the boxes themselves are full of health warnings.

Why don't do the same with alcohol? Where I live ads for beer, wine and other drinks are literally EVERYWHERE, and the way the ads are made is plain manipulative, something even Don Draper would consider going too far. It doesn't takes a psychologist to see alcohol ads much like the cigarettes go for the exact opposite of what an addict's life is like, and just like marlboro told men they could be cowboys and go into adventures beer ads say you can party hard 24/7 and nail all the chicks you want/see by being pissing-in-your-pants drunk.

Ironically the most realistic beer ad I ever saw was Pißwasser's in GTAIV.
A collection of quotes about Facebook Home
Not all dumbell exercises are isolation. For most upper body barbell exercises, you can find a corresponding dumbell exercise which recruits more stabilizer muscle. Compare, for example, the barbell bench press to the dumbell version - the dumbell version is harder since you need to stabilize each dumbell in 2 directions rather than 1.

Or just look at the turkish get up. That's all stabilizer.

Of course, there is no substitute for squats and deadlifts. The closest is pistol squats which are great for advanced athletes, but pistol squats are very hard to do if you haven't done a lot of barbell squats first.

FYI, Outlook still doesn't have IMAP support [1]. It does POP3, SMTP (of course), and full Exchange ActiveSync. For now, this is a dealbreaker for me; I'm thinking about trying out Outlook for my basic data/web/cloud, but really only because of Gmail's shitty push experience with my devices.

Barbells are simply bigger and heavier dumbbells. However most dumbbells in the context the comment was referring to aren't heavy enough to actively engage the stabilizing muscles to any great effect.

The exercise also makes a big difference. Doing chest flys with dumbbells may feel like you are using a lot of stabilizers but actually you are no where near using as many as a free standing squat.

And of course you're using bigger muscles when doing more compound exercises so correspondingly the weight have to be bigger. I believe that's why in general most people would say barbells > dumbbells.
Wow. How old were they when they died, and what were their drinking habits like throughout the years, if you don't mind sharing. If you don't feel like providing the details, understood.

The Shadowy Residents of One Hyde Park
Actually, it's the concept of 'save' that is unintuitive. The EPOC systems just kept your data, and it's one of the nice features that sublime gives you. In an ideal world, a document would keep its entire change history as a graph (not just a single line), and you wouldn't 'save' a copy, you'd name a particular revision of it so that it was easy to get back to later.
I agree, it is the biggest downfall of Starting Strength. It would be much more accessible if they just had a well organized library of video instructions for all the lifts the program uses. I find it hard to learn from a book...
There is a high degree of confirmation bias in observation of meth users. Most are docile but when someone has a violent reaction it is usually extreme.

Unless you mean perhaps the erratic behavior/decision making caused by long-term addiction?
Do no Computer Science courses cover this in North America or has the author made a big assumption? My CS course covered this (not North America).
Actually, no, I don't know anything about running OpenWrt on an RT-N16 and shouldn't have included it in my list. Sorry for the mistake! As noted by other commenters apparently it's only supported in WIP versions, details at http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/asus/rt-n16
So why is cannabis so high? Especially "to others". Why did researchers rank it so high, so often? I have to wonder what the "harm" was that they were thinking of so frequently.
You made the mistake of assuming that the US immigration policy is rational.

Hilarious. This was been the exact opposite of my experience in my younger days. If anything, alcohol tipped the odds against me in situations, in sober retrospect , would have went my way had I not been drinking. They should use celibate monasteries as a backdrop for alcohol ads.
Most commercial buildings in NYC will have access to commercial-grade fiber connections as well. NYC is one of the best-connected cities in the world already. I doubt Austin is even close.
They've state repeatedly that this is a profitable enterprise for them. As a public company, they couldn't say that if it weren't true.
If you are going to do something with as high a potential for injury as powerlifting, drop $20 on SS. It spends pages on explanation and diagrams showing you exactly how to perform the lifts.

Start with stronglifts. I get the point of having a free pdf. After you've added 20-25lbs to the bar, go buy SS. It's worth it.
Serious question: Why does one action not define a person?

I know that's the usual party line, but why?

Most of us have ethical boundaries, such as "Don't intentionally risk our friends' lives" and "Don't fuck people up for money."

If you cross that boundary, even once -- or worse yet, those aren't boundaries for you at all -- that says a lot about you as a person.

A 16-year-old knows that it's wrong to commit insurance fraud. They also know it's wrong to purposefully cause a car accident. It's quite telling, really.

The Long Boom: A History of the Future (1997)
I could stare at this for hours! Not sure if its a coincidence, but I waited for a plane that would fly past my town (no other planes nearby). When it got reasonably close I looked out of my window and there you have it, plane in the sky. I'd like to think it's the same one.
Yeah, I have no problem with that if it's viewed as an NxN problem. I do have a slight tic about this since I've heard "NP-hard" misused so often, including by one guy at a former workplace whose program needed to test all 6 permutations of something-or-other to discover the optimum one, and that was "NP-complete", you see.

About the complexity of Sudoku which is known to have a unique solution: I didn't say there is a polynomial algorithm for it. It's equivalent to the Unambiguous SAT problem, and Valiant and Vazirani proved that it's in some sense almost as hard as the SAT problem itself. You can't call it NP-complete (because that's not known), but if there is a polynomial algorithm for it, then there is a probabilistic polynomial algorithm for every problem in NP; and since you can run a probabilistic algorithm as many times as you want and get independent results, you'd be able to solve every decision problem in NP with immense certainty (although less than 1).

About efficient algorithms for Sudoku, I think that the crux here is average case complexity (defined in some way over the sort of samples you are using). It's not clear to me that average case complexity for Sudoku is high, at least for the kind of puzzles we know how to generate. Certainly solvers based on backtracking seem to handle them very well. It's very hard to prove results about that, though. In any case, if someone has a polynomial time algorithm for Unambiguous SAT, or something equivalent to it, that would pretty amazing (but I doubt it - the average time might be very good, though).
"THE WORLD THROUGH ROSE-COLORED BLINDERS: A NEW MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR HOW SOCIETY BECOMES POLARIZED"

I have a problem with the mixed metaphor in the title. You do not look through blinders, they are opaque. They are meant to block the line of sight, their color is immaterial but it is usually black.

Glasses on, the other hand are translucent and may be tinted. The idiom of 'rose-colored glasses' is supposed to suggest that if someone looks at --or [another idiom] thinks about, that is to say looks at with the mind's eye-- something with rose-colored glasses then they think that it is more pleasant than it really is.

Normally I wouldn't be as picky as this, but the linked reference is supposed to be a scholarly work from a leading educational institution. I mean we might have to tolerate something like this from a proprietary "University" like The University of Phoenix or Capella University or ITT Technical Institute, but from Stanford? Come on, give me a break, OK? Get your ducks in a row --that's an idiom, too.
I had an idea that I started working on. I found out there was a similar website doing the same thing and I liked their implementation. At the time I thought it was smart and thought "why didn't I think to do it like that?". After being disheartened, I scrapped the idea and went on to think about other things/problems.

I haven't come across that site or that idea in other sites since which leads me to believe that it didn't take off. I can't remember the name of the site either. This either tells me that the idea was flawed or their execution was poor.

Since I (still) like the idea, I logically think that their execution must have been poor. I'll probably start working on my version again soon. Unfortunately that was a lot of time wasted. If I had continued back then instead of stopping, I could have a successful product by now (or not, of course!)

I'm not sure if this comment will help you decide to continue or not but in my opinion is that you should. If it doesn't work out you will have learnt a lot anyway.

Good luck!

Consumer routers are a low margin product. Vendors want to do as little work as possible, so they ship mostly the software provided by the silicon vendor.
There's something inspiring about seeing someone hustle to create an opportunity to improve themselves, and about how the internet is empowering individuals to do that on a global scale.
Well maybe it's a bit of a generalisation, but I've studied at two different schools in Canada, and neither of them had these in their curricula. And I haven't heard of any other in North America which really do, either. I could be wrong, but I haven't seen any examples yet.
UPnP is the one that gives me concern. User programs can punch holes in your firewall without you knowing about it. Now you have a port open on your firewall... pointed at someone's computer without your knowledge. UPnP goes off - if you want that port open, let's talk about it, little software thingy.

Vincent Laforet has a great set of howtos on DSLR/HDSLR videography on his site. He does great little videos of why some of the rail rigs are built the way they are and gives some behind-the-scenes type work like this.

Even if you're an iPhone "filmmaker" (or PXL-2000) he and the people that he links to on his blogroll are good for learning technique.

I'm "good" at still, portrait, and landscape photography with a rangefinder camera. I recently started doing wildlife (bird) photography and videography and had to learn a whole new set of equipment and techniques.

> What is the longevity of Minecraft?

There's an unofficial modding API and thousands of mods [1], some of which are extremely sophisticated. For instance, "Red Power" [2] includes an in-game 6502-based computer for which the author wrote a Forth interpreter that can be used to control in-game objects, and somebody else has embedded a Lua interpreter that can do similar things, IIRC.

There are also dozens of user-created game modes (some of which only have informally-enforced rules) and special maps like "Feed the Beast" [3].

The only games I can think of with comparable amounts of content are MMOs and possibly the Elder Scrolls series, though in both of those cases the content is nothing like as varied, nor does it rely on its user's creativity to anything like the same extent.

Minecraft is very much like Lego, only you can also program your own bricks.

They've state repeatedly that this is a profitable enterprise for them. As a public company, they couldn't say that if it weren't true.

“Google received stunning regulatory concessions and incentives from local governments, including free access to virtually everything the city owns or controls: rights of way, central office space, power, interconnections with anchor institutions, marketing and direct mail, and office space for Google employees.”
http://bgr.com/2012/09/10/google-fiber-criticism-crony-capit...

maybe they're profitable but that's not going to last or others (Comcast, AT&T etc) will sue the government for favoring Google over them.

Even if they said it's profitable, it all depends. Maybe some of the costs are shifted from division to division within Google. Either way, just because they said so, doesn't mean there isn't some wiggle room. They cannot lie about total sales and revenues, but many companies do not even break down division sales.
Thanks for these info. I appreciate.

I apologize if I have misunderstood, but you argued above that one of the reasons for the explosive growth of OSS projects ("cool stuff for free") is because it is primarily a means to gain recognition to "shortcut" the monotony of apprenticeship. That seems to me not entirely but mostly an egotistic motivation ("Look at me, I'm good!").

No. There is no apprenticeship anymore. That's the problem with a convex economy. People have to get through a long "learning" period before the "earning" period in which the market will pay them a living wage.

It's even more convoluted now, because the learning and earning must be intermingled.

In the past, convex work was such a small part of what human society needed done that the effect of this (of making convex labor only available to a privileged class) wasn't such a problem. Now's different because the concave labor that supports the less fortunate is going away.

I'm going to step back from the management stuff because I don't want to start a flamewar. That's not to implicate you, but me. I'm sure good technology management exists, but in my experience it's goddamn rare. The only time I saw good management in software was in the public sector (including a govt. contractor). When people have (expensive for the govt.) security clearances, employees tend to be treated well.

I have once seen a business do software well, but it started to fall apart (culturally) as soon as it needed middle management. No idea if it has solved those problems since then. I left right at the inflection point (no, this wasn't Google) and it's still got a stirling reputation so it's quite possible that they actually got their middle management house in order. Certainly, their tech was excellent.

Ageism in technology is a problem, but there are a lot of badass older programmers who keep on going. But yeah, if you stop learning at 25, then by 40 management is your only option.
Was the article later restored by Wikipedia? It doesn't make any sense that it would have been permanently deleted.
To be clear, my differential pairs are impedance controlled in the sense that their trace/space yield the correct single-ended and differential impedance values at the nominal dielectric permittivity and thickness, but OSH Park doesn't additionally guarantee permittivity and thickness tolerances to guarantee that my nominally-50-ohm traces will be actually-50-ohm traces +/- 10%. That said, I've run the numbers (using the excellent and free Saturn tools [1]) for the stated Er range of 4.2 +/- 0.3, and a little variation in the nominal 7.8 mil thickness, and things still looked OK.

Fingers crossed!

Buying a pressing machine is terrible advice. I'm sure it cost him hundreds or at most a few thousand. He could have gotten a set of heavier dumbbells for that money, or a barbell.

For the record, any lifter should know how to either dump the weight on a barbell or roll it down the chest. It isn't particularly dangerous to bench without a spotter if you're not going to failure
