Ask PG, HN: Is someone tampering with article positions?
Can someone explain to me how the same algorithm can classify a highly controversial topic like the Monsanto story[1] in place 128 while another story[2] of the same publication time with less points and much less comments be on place 29 on the frontpage at the same time?

It doesn't matter if you do. If sleeping two hours less puts you just 15 minutes ahead of your competitors, then in winner-take-all fields it pays off. There is a reason for the quotes in the article from bankers. The model there is that you've got X number of years to get promoted or you're pushed out. The vast majority of people hired will not make managing director or one of the relatively permanent positions, and will take an enormous pay cut when they're kicked out. So the game becomes not about absolute productivity, but relative productivity.
One of the downsides of being tired is that you become more distractible. Even work that's long, tedious, and relatively-unskilled doesn't get done if you started doing another random task.
This sure looks familiar. Intel wants to build mainframes, basically.
So does that mean you can only rate people who are also on facebook? Another excellent reason to avoid using FB then I guess..
Yeah. My bad. I had a real need and Mendeley's software (which is awesome, by the way) came to my rescue; issues of who controls it and what they might want from me someday seemed very far away at the time.

I have a question for the author, but please do not interpret this as the typical HackerNews-esque pessimistic attack, as it is a sincere question.

Do you really feel like visualizing Neural Networks helps to understand them better? I have yet to find one that has helped me understand it any better than a textual explanation or pseudo-code of the algorithm.
This would definitely be an interesting development, but I think there are a number of concerns here.

First off, that would be a lot of tubes. This problem immediately screams a graphing problem with, at the very least, number_of_cities * average_number_of_homes_per_city nodes. Even with that many nodes, the systems would be terribly inefficient.

Secondly, consider that not all packages are the same size. In addition to have a standard-sized tube, we would also need a number of tubes to handle over-sized cargo and, since we can't realistically run one of these to every home, we would still have a use for the offices of UPS and FedEx.

Another thing that worries me are the implications on us humans. If we can have everything sent to our house without ever leaving, we would all become recluses and never go outside.
I use it in a private project. For comparison, here's the difference between touch-all-bytes and touch-no-bytes using the Python binding:

random lookup 1000000 buffers in 1.82sec (550928/sec)
random lookup+hash 1000000 buffers in 2.52sec (397189/sec)

This was using 100 byte values.
I was talking more about the ability to style specific log lines programmatically. So that one could have sql queries blue, redis commands red, etc etc.

The state of academic publishing is in a truly dreadful state. The same monopolies that created the industry hundreds of years ago have never been pushed out and innovate in the slowest way possible, aqui-murdering even worse than EA when they have to. Online journals and the promise they provide are peddled by high pressure sales pitches who insist on absurdly high prices. For many institutions, when taking usage stats, the price of online access per user often works out to several dollars per search...

This is why I've given up trying to work in the field or found a company in the sector... Anyone with an idea and need a technical cofounder? ;)
This is something new I recently learnt about myself. The body tends to fit to whatever conditions you force it into. Of course there is limit and it can shut itself down, but I think sleeping less won't do it.

I too thought I need more sleep, or 7 hours at least. Then I had couple late nights when my sleep was in 5 hours bracket and it felt weird how good I feel, how wired I am during the day. So, I suggest you at least try sleep less (6 or 5) and see how you feel daily. Do it for one week at least to make sure you give your body space to get used to it and adjust.

I live in a city of 100k people, metro area of 300k. So it's small, but not the wilderness either.

End of the day, you need to specialize in an area that valuable to the organizations in the area. You may need to travel. Small-scale IT is become alot more automated and service-based, so jack of all trades roles are really competitive.

So you may not be making $150k, but you're also insulated from the boom/bust cycle that permeates places like Silicon Valley, SFO, and to a lesser extent NYC. It all depends on what is important to you...
one point the article did not mentioned how often does Ryan travel to the valley (recruiting drive, meeting potential technology partners, etc).

What I am really saying is that if he frequently travels to the valley, or some other tech hub, is his generalisation in this article still valid?
but how would I find out if I'm a carrier of this mutation??

I mean sometimes for days on end I can do with 4hrs of sleep and then there are times I look like death with 4hrs...
Yeah, can you imagine? The moment women start getting tagged with things like #DoesntPutOut and #Bitchy, I suspect the conversation would be entirely different.
Haha, Slate and Jezebel are unpopular. Nice trolling.

(Oh crap, now I'm feeding the troll now, aren't I?)
The author mistakenly attributes the deflating aspects of a controlled limited supply of Bitcoins (by design) as the cause of the recent surge in valuation while it's really just speculation at this point. Even worse, he's urging everyone to hoard their bitcoins and not spend them because he believes t1 will always be higher than t0. When you undermine the only true value of a currency (which is trading) you might as well place your bets in a Las Vegas casino and get some free drinks while you're at it because the thin line between speculating and gambling has been crossed at this point.

The Importance of Startup Mentorship by David Karp, Founder of Tumblr
No, logic doesn't work that way. Absence of X does not prove that X is cheap.
Maybe one thing that would prove useful would be a pipe-heating system. Heating the pipes would also heat the water inside them. Another use for this would be homes in colder climates where the house's pipes are likely to freeze on a cold winter's night and burst when someone turns on a faucet.

Because you have many customers for that stand, not just one.

If you have many customers and one day one stabs you in the eye whilst stealing all your lemons it shouldn't be the end of you. Such criminal events are normally insured against, most startups would use their home insurance for their lemons, get their PHI to pay for the loss of an eye and its fine.

If however it was your only customer, and he stabbed you in the eye, then your in a worse situation, as when the police come for him, he is unlikely to buy from you again, even more so as he is in possession of a large supply of lemons.

This isn't "nyaa nyaa" this is really good advice. All businesses need to be adaptable to change or shocks. One surefire way of having problems is to have one customer. If you lose them, you loose everything.

If you are writing an App which is only on one ecosystem, which can be shut off at a whim, you need to be well aware of the risks, ensure you play very carefully by their rules and have a good relationship with them.

I have heard of a large company which was dependant on a small firm to make a very esoteric electrical consumable, the large company built a small surplus of them, enough to last 3 months. Cancelled the existing order with an exit clause and demanded their money back. Large firm could continue to operate with their stock surplus, small company couldn't repay the money. Large company swallows small company for tiny price.

Those entites are staying nameless because its a small world.

It seems like good territory for a hobby project, not a startup.

I apologize for my rudeness. It was uncalled for and I really didn't mean it that way. I didn't mean to target you or put you on the spot. I understand that reforming people's views takes time. (I visited a freshman class in a South Asian university. If I was from there I presume I'd most likely think that cat calling women as they entered the classroom was normal and acceptable behavior.

I think we have a similar problem here. We've grown up with these jokes and lived with them for so long that it just doesn't bother us. I am glad you agree that prison rape is not OK. I am not trying to be sanctimonious (I actually had to look up that word). I just feel so helpless about this situation.
for those looking for the adversarial approach, there's also Start with No (http://amzn.to/16QO6sO). While I haven't really used those tactics, I did find many of the strategies outlined employed in the corporate environment.
This happens with every profession that takes on the perception of guaranteeing a nice salary.

I expect the big difference with law is that the profession is taught/promoted by established universities which have managed to keep the notion afloat in spite of an established lack of demand.
They're not out, but their main cashflow item is now removed. I'm 100% certain there's some cloud of doubt around the company morale. It can't be an easy thing to ride out.
In a big city like Houston, many developers seem content with their corporate jobs. However, because there aren't many startups like ours, we don't have to battle other companies for talent among the the subset of developers here who crave something more interesting.
Nowadays, the broadcast networks get 70% of their revenue from retransmission

I've been trying to find a source for this, and it's mighty hard. Especially because many sources mix up the national networks with the local networks, or mix up profits with revenue.

Do you have a citation? I'm asking to learn, not to challenge.
The upside of living in a large city is the plethora of available competition for almost everything. That has always be the case before the internet was even born.
that is so true. when our body sensory tunes into our daily tasks and routines, it just knows.
I see your point, but I also think you're giving too much credit to the latter: they care not for your well-being, and any notion of "customer service" is 100% in the spirit of retaining or generating revenue.
Folding clothes always makes me think of this advanced t-shirt fold technique. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5AWQ5aBjgE)

"Men as a sex have had advantageous circumstances and treatment for a long time, yes. That has absolutely nothing to do with men who are alive today."

Let's talk about the gender ratio today in Congress, or among Fortune 500 CEOs. Let's talk about the recent study showing that given identical (fake) resumes for a lab manager position, scientists on average offer lower salary and less mentoring to female candidates. http://www.psmag.com/culture-society/sexists-in-white-coats-... That's just a few examples; there are countless others.

I completely agree that it's unfair to blame men today for the long history of inequality in our society. But 1) that history is not remotely over, and 2) the responsibility that we do have as men alive today is to find whatever ways we can to make progress in improving these issues for everyone.

I honestly don't know the best ways to do that; none of them seem entirely good or entirely effective. But if we know that there is a vast invisible finger of society tipping the scales against women in a given context, it does not strike me as necessarily immoral to put explicit structures in place designed to tip things a little bit back the other way. (I'm sure it could be implemented poorly.) We have to break the self-reinforcing cycle somehow, and maybe an admittedly clumsy counter-push against those social pressures can help.

I'll jump on the "Ayn Rand" bandwagon.

Apple is free to play BS games like this, yanking long-established companies without any reasonable notice or discussion. The companies are welcome to refuse to deal with Apple because of it (and everyone in this business has heard of similar stories before... you can't claim to be surprised that Apple behaves capriciously with regard to the AppStore).

But once we get past the "Ayn Rand" philosophy, I want to point out that everyone is hurting themselves. Apple is hurting themselves by raising the perceived RISK of their marketplace in the eyes of developers. Developers are hurting themselves by playing along with this game (although, to be fair, there is money to be made). I wish everyone would just grow up (starting with Apple).

Why were people using the App though? Surely no one would if it was needless?

I remember laughing that people would have a Tube Status app on their phone, when the webpage surely does the exact same. Fact is its more convenient, so people do it.

That was magical. I must learn how to do that.
How has your startup benefited from being in SV? And how much more benefit has that been over your old location?
Stop Designing Apps And Start Designing Habits
Aside from the business cycle reasons - Being a young chip designer, I'm severely disappointed in the hardware engineering culture. It is too hard to get ideas through anyone who is over 35 years old. Everyone thinks Perl is really great and Verilog is good enough. Even though both suck.

Basically, the older generation has killed the industry. Much like they did to aerospace.

The HW engineering firms should be leveraging SW open source projects and adapt them as needed. For example, why have an in-house Perl scripting framework on top of Verilog. Use Django or something similar instead.

The industry is too risk averse and overall poised.
The irony is that your comment typifies the common reply to said reddit comments: "omg this is the top comment in a /r/WorldNews thread? I had to check if I was in /r/AdviceAnimals..."
So he has one data point, therefore generalizes for everyone. That takes away credibility from the article. Sure, you don't need to be in Silicon Valley. All you need is luck

Are you saying you don't need luck if you locate to Silicon Valley???

Anyway, as for the "generalizing to everyone" bit... IF the opposing argument was actually that you must be in Silicon Valley to be successful, then even one opposing datapoint invalidates that argument. I'm not sure that actually is pg's argument though, but nonetheless, every successful startup that exists outside of SV serves to demonstrate that you certainly can be successful starting in other places.

Sure, you don't need to be in Silicon Valley. However, it does help tremendously for many types of companies.

I'm guessing it can also hurt for some types as well. If you're doing something fashion related, for example, you might be better served to be in NYC, London or even LA.

Beyond that, the higher cost of living, increased competition for technical talent, etc., could be reasons a given startup would be better off not being in the valley.

1. Those 0.1-1 dead is from a period of much worse cancer treatments than will be available a few decades after an Orion launch.

2. It is bad risk counting. The cost per life is a factor whenever e.g. roads are built and speed limits are set. ("We will get ~ X less deaths/decade if we build the motorway differently, but it would cost over our limit for $/life".) Also, just transporting materials/people when designing/building an Orion ought to be a lot more than one dead.
Wow, what a horrific story. I hope my daughter never has to go through something like that.
Advanced users can flag articles. Flagged articles sink. Controversial topics are more likely to get flagged.
Early in your career, there is a lot to learn. Being naturally curious and autodidactic seems like a necessary requirement, but having a good mentor can really supercharge how quickly you progress. A good mentor is someone very knowledgeable, hopefully 10x better than you at the things you want to learn, and also has a knack for teaching.

I am pretty early in my development career too, but I'd say that the most important thing is making sure you surround yourself with the smartest people that give you the best chance to get to your end goal. If you're interested in learning about TDD, go to a place that does TDD, and connect with people that do TDD. If you're interested in ember, hang out in the ember irc's, ping ember people, and try to build some small ember things out to the point where people can help you.

You need to decide your end game first, and then work backwards. As you interview and talk to people, you'll develop a set of deal breakers that conflict with your end game. Interviews are a two way street; you're filtering and interviewing them as much as they are you. If you want to see how current an employer's tech stack is, ask them what they're currently on, and the last things they've upgraded, how painful it was to upgrade. If you think you know more than their lead developer, then it's probably not a good place. Ask them about how their decisions get made, how projects get prioritized. Ask them questions to see how developer happiness plays into their priorities (e.g. I'd like to do some things in X which you guys don't use right now. How could we go about using X in a new project?).

There are a few beliefs you have that might be problematic. Programming and tech are tools at the end of the day, and are only one ingredient of many that end up creating a successful company. If you are looking for a tech focused company, look at the headcount breakdown (e.g. 10 people, 1 developer and 9 sales people vs 9 developers and 1 sales person). Even more troubling, you seem to think your liberal arts degree is a disadvantage, and that a bad interview means you might not have the chops to make it. First and foremost, interviewing is most definitely a skill that improves over time, and bad interviewers ask a lot of things unrelated to the job. Even really bright technical people botch interviews all the time. (http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/03/get-that-job-at-goog...). Secondly, life is long, and you are hardly defined by some subject you chose to study for 4 years. You live in a time where top notch classes and books and online learning material are readily accessible and cheap or free.

From what you've written, sounds like you're looking for a full stack developer position. Apply to a bunch of places, and try to interview at places you don't care about first. Reach out to companies and people that may or may not be hiring to chat with you. Work through CLRS, work through a CS curriculum, pair with people, and put all your assignments up publicly. Then when people question you about your liberal arts degree, you can show them evidence that you have covered a lot of CS topics and have a lot of CS knowledge.

Google Glass Mirror API - Scarygami/mirror-api
Is there an article anywhere that clearly explains the actual attack vector?

The bash script ultimately used by the malware is a wiper designed to work with any Linux distribution, with specific commands for SunOS, AIX, HP-UX distributions, Symantec said. As such, it wipes out the /kernel, /usr, /etc, and /home directories.

That wouldn't take a particularly sophisticated bash script.

But as far as how the payload was actually delivered to the infected machines, there doesn't seem to be a consensus.

This article portrays it as a RAT/botnet style attack via "a central computer providing antivirus protection," which suggests that they may have gained privileged access to an antivirus company's update server and pushed the code out to clients via the antivirus software itself.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2013/mar/22/south-korea...

Meanwhile, this article attributes it to an executable e-mail attachment with a misleading filename, basically a phishing attack:

http://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/view/31475/south-korea-...

Some articles described the South Korean government as concluding that the attack came from China, and then later articles say that they backtracked on this and decided it actually came from North Korea. I think this part is heavily politicized, and it's entirely possible that it did come from China but the South Korean government found it more politically expedient to blame it on North Korea instead.

Is it that different, though? Form factor of the machine/fans is different for a server and the Xeon chips have multiprocessor and ECC support. That's about it, right?
