For what it's worth Hanushek is most famous for his theory that a student having a teacher in the 85th percentile or better for test score improvement for five years in a row would be enough to close the gap between low-SES and high-SES kids, a theory which has been soundly disproven. I have no idea about the quality of his other research, but I'd tread with extreme caution there.

I'd be interested as well, because if he's trying to label all NIH-bound funds as imperative to this process, I think he's overstating his case.

Yes, academic institutions do a lot of low level work that pharma companies build on top of, but you'd be surprised how often potential new molecular entities (truly new drugs) do not originate from government sponsored academic sources.

(However, the tools, understanding and/or methodologies that made that new NME possible did likely come from those labs!)

> Take risks and have fun.

I'd love to take risks and have fun, but when you're in college, looking for good, steady, well-paid, full-time summer employment, it's just not very appealing to take risks with your finances. I'm there right now (although an ECE major, not CS) and I wouldn't trade anything for the paid co-op placement I have right now.
That's because they're kittens, not cats. Duh.
Thank you for explaining the differences in mechanisms!

When originally reading about diatomaceous earth, I had read something about it acting like razor blades cutting through the exoskeleton. So I was erroneously equating the hooks and razor analogies.

Do you know whether there have there been any commercial products that try to replicate the diatomaceous/razor like mechanism?
Is funny that people throw around words like "java script 0 day exploit" and then post:

>Then and there someone posted a link to www mtgox-chat info (do not open unless you know what >you are doing) claiming a video announcement that mtgox was going to start trading litecoins.
>I clicked on the link, the website opened, not much happened, and the "video"/chatbox never loaded. >I then forgot about this website.
Most of the time in whole-program compilers such at Manticore and MLton (> 60%, though it depends on the particular program) is spent in the combination of parsing the input source files and running GCC over the generated assembly to produce the binary.

Many compilers (including ours) did not keep around that extra information because even in 2007 (when we started) RAM was a bit scarce. The cost associated with keeping that info around between phases is primarily in the extra working set hit and the resulting GC and especially memory paging issues. Given that it's not unreasonable to expect people to have > 1GB of available physical RAM for the compilation process these days, that's something we should consider changing. Though at this point threading that info through the compiler is probably a couple weeks of dedicated effort to get working correctly.
Hum, really? I didn't notice it in the settings, and I'm sure I would have. I'll look again, thank you.

Not to be an ass, but Iraq was leading to either another war with Iran, or a war with Saudi Arabia as the Ba'athist party was at odds with both, or just another genocide. The Iraq-Iran war caused (depending on the figures) over a million deaths and at least a trillion dollars in economic damage. The extreme high estimate for the Invasion of Iraq sits at 100,000, and 1/100th the civilian casualties of the Iraq-Iran war.

Personally it didn't improve my quality of life one bit, I had friends and family get deployed over there and I would have preferred they weren't for their and my own sake. I was opposed to the war, I was calling the WMD claims bullshit from the start. I know why the war happened, but I'd have rather our people have been kept out of it and just let Saddam and Ahmadinejad fucktard it out by killing hundreds of thousands of their own people.

I don't know if you're actually Iraqi, or just trying to make a point, if you are I'm sorry for my callousness, but I honestly don't think my friend should have had to be in a Hummer that got hit by an IED because the Iraqi government had a history of going apeshit with mustard gas on civilian populations, just because my government didn't want some retard fiesta in the Middle East to put us into a great depression when the oil industry and all derivative industries halt.
Thanks for the information! I didn't know that about Mercola or I wouldn't have posted in the first place. I should have done some background research though. It seemed like he was talking about a genuine contradiction that I thought was troubling.

How Always-On Could Work
Speak for yourself. I have 2 teenage daughters, healthy savings, and I'm under 40. It takes discipline and a plan. Dave Ramsey ( http://www.daveramsey.com ) helps as well.
I'm a student hacker currently in my third year of a 4 year masters course. Last summer I interned at a startup in London working on iOS apps, some from the ground up, some just updates. It was a good experience, although I had to work on my side project during my lunchtimes, evenings and weekends.

This summer I plan to work with a buddy of mine on my CS course. We have an idea in mind that I've already been working on (www.housequest.co.uk), but really we just want to work on something for three months and try to create something useful.

In the end, I'd say it's a good idea to obtain an internship for one of your summers in university. Although you don't get much time to work on other cool stuff, I believe you'll benefit from it in other ways. It's a good fall back plan for when you leave university, as past experience accounts for a lot. Secondly, you learn a lot. I was building iOS apps before my internship, but building them professionally was completely different. I was doing silly things. Lastly, it's good for networking with professionals.

The other summers you can then use to build even better software.
Yup, this is my new theme. Thanks for your hard work.
I think that sites like Hacker News, Reddit and Facebook are much better for promoting discussion of articles. A problem with comments on blogs is that it's difficult to generate a community.

If you look on any large site that has comments (like The Verge, or YouTube) the comments always descend into jokes and memes.

By posting this article on Hacker News, a discussion has formed and it follows the rules laid out by the Hacker News community, there wont be much name calling or inane jokes.
> Bottom line: solve for time.

Absolutely! People don't like to spend hours in a traffic jam, but if they do it every day it's just because they don't have a faster way to get to their destination. Yes, public transportation may be cheaper, but it is slower unless you live and work next to two stops of the same train/bus line. What is more important: time or money? Given the ever increasing road traffic, people clearly prefer time.
Shouldn't be that hard. You just need to encode the data in JSON and BASE64 and add it as HTTP header. Just look at the existing libraries, they don't seem to be that complicated.
I think it's actually a good analogy because of that. When an astute listener asks that question, you have the perfect segue into discussing collisions and why designing cryptographic hash functions is difficult and should be left to experts.
Giving it a go now. I like the properly threaded comments - that irked me about HackerNode

That's no evil. It is baffling, however, that people who spend so much time in cars are happy with cars that have such poor fuel efficiency.

Yes, I understand that some people need big cars with poor fuel efficiency. (You need a 4x4 to get over the hills in winter; or for all the sports gear you're using; or because it's your business.) But people in the suburbs tootling around doing 40 mile commutes every day just need a comfortable car with good efficiency.

Cheap gas and complacency really hurt the US.
It doesn't matter. The exact point of a one-way function is to go forward from a known answer. It should be very hard (impossible) to go backwards.
As the article mentioned, he could have stopped at 1 round but did 5 just to show the concept.
I agree. Not only does a young programmer have no idea what to build but the main purpose it to escape from the academic coding world and into the actual business coding world.

There is a huge difference between that. A good job will have some nice engineers there, that might be willing to help you out and push you to learn how to code correctly.

This is the main reason to intern.

I'm looking for something I can use for the "BI" feature of a web app - I already have the data, but need something I can use for customizable graphs, charts, tables, filters, etc.

Chart.io would be perfect, but it doesn't look like they offer white labeling or reselling. Is there any such SaaS type product that you know of?
I like Windows 8. The Metro UI is great on a touch screen. For desktops either work from the desktop which is one click away or install Start8 or Classic Shell or one of the many other programs to make it more like Windows 7. I have installed Windows 8 on two of my 5 desktops. It also came on my new Asus touchscreen notebook. At my office we are replacing all of our old Windows XP machines with new Windows 8 computers this year before XP support ends. I think desktop sales will increase as the year goes on for this reason.
Great story. Reminded me of two stories from my hometown:

1. When I was in high school, a kid skateboarded the Boston Marathon, I think the first person to do so. He was younger than me, probably 15. The local paper asked him why, and he said something like "no one else has done it, and I want to see if it can be done."

2. When Boston's big ring road (Rte. 128) was built in the 1950s, people were allowed to ride bicycles in the two right-hand lanes (!). I was surprised to learn that a bunch of kids (15 or 16 year olds) used the road to bike from Boston's western edge to Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire (1), about 80 miles. A lot of people might say "big deal, I can do a century" but this was using 3-speed bikes. These kids didn't think "it's too far, can't be done" but rather "we have these relatively modern bikes, can take the highway for part of the way, let's try". And they did.

Not at all, there are probably plenty of good reasons including learning/getting the opportunity to work with other bright individuals.

HOWEVER, I make it clear in my post that I am only referring to 'entrepreneurial-minded' CS majors. These are students who presumably want to have their own startup or simply enjoy taking an organic idea and building upon it. Doing an internship at a large engineering company, in most cases, is not going to help/encourage you to be entrepreneurial spirited and do this. At least not as much trying to build something on your own. Another option that I present is to work at a company that is completely unrelated to your field and see if there is room in which software and/or hardware can help optimize that area.
I do, simply because I'm conscious of the fact using a computer screen is essentially like staring into a lightbulb. I like to think dark themes minimize the damage to my retinas, but whether this is true or not, I don't know.

I'm assuming you mean "XSS or CSRF". In both cases the first 2 letters denote "Cross Site".

But, I'm picking hairs, and as you say, the guy just lost a shed-load of coin, so mostly sympathy (with a bit of urge to educate) from this end.

EDIT: Sorry, your comment was slightly ambiguous, I apologize for picking on a typo, I originally thought you were saying that XSS and CSRF had nothing to do with "Cross Site" which, upon reading again, I noticed was not the case. (Also, I made the same typo (CRSF) while typing this and only caught it just before hitting the submit button!)

"Saudi Arabia has a military far exceeding most European states"

Speaking about knowledge of international politics, this statement is simplistic and arguably wrong. Saudi Arabia does have one of the largest military budgets in the world, but that does not translate to better or more military. It translates to buying more equipment and giving more money to the weapons industry in the US, the UK and other countries. The US is the main beneficiary, so it is kind of like protection money.

In particular, Saudi Arabia is far from the biggest military force in the Middle East in practice. Israel, Egypt, Iran, and Saddam-era Iraq are/were all far stronger. The last fact is the reason that Saudi Arabia and Kuwait invited the US and the coalition when Saddam invaded Kuwait, despite the loss of face. And it is the reason the US is military active in the Gulf region: Saudi Arabia is nowhere near Iran military speaking..

If the lead exposure is a threshold effect, most of the population might have already banked the benefits of going below it.

If it mostly impacts development (rather than ongoing performance), even more so.
Has nothing to do with "innovation", since nearly all healthcare research is paid for by the U.S. government anyway, and it's much less money than you think.

The claimed expenses for "research" are mostly about bringing slight variations of drugs to market in order to extend patent protections - that is, they are rent-seeking.

> "More than four fifths of all funds for basic research to discover new drugs and vaccines come from public sources."

The story of healthcare costs in the U.S. is entirely to do with profits for drug companies and hospitals, and has almost nothing to do with "innovation".
Interning was a great start for me and helped me meet a ton of people. The difference was I interned at a startup. The problem is that they are sometimes hard to find, and you'll probably have to travel. Many students I've talked to don't know where to find smaller companies that offer internships. The big companies give the most money to colleges and in turn that's what most students are exposed too.
As always they read my mind!. Thank you. It'll be interesting to know how profitable it is.
Nothing has helped me get better at what I do than the knowledge/fear that a senior developer would be integrating my work.
It matters (in the case of the example), because if I tell you "things", you have no way to know if I got it by starting from folio, or from another word X that gave me the steps (for example):

My So-Called 'Post-Feminist' Life in Arts and Letters
An internship is effectively getting paid to learn. Maybe there are better choices for the company to work with but hey, you may never get another chance to learn how Facebook builds things. If you get an opportunity to get a look at software development in a household name take it. Hell if someone offered to have me come code with them at their company for a day on one of my days off I would take it in a second. It's incredibly valuable to get a chance to look at a company's practices, culture, and the general feel of things there. You're not committing for years, you're committing for a summer. Enjoy it. If you decide later that being an entrepreneur isn't working for you for whatever reason having a big name on your resume and contacts in the industry can be a huge leg up.
The only difference I see is:

* method and name column swapped
* green/yellow status icons added (probably 200/304?)
* dark color scheme vs light color scheme

Is there something I'm missing? Because it sure doesn't seem like the MS Word super-toolbar you compared it to.

Or is it the tab icons? Chrome recently disabled those by default, and I'd agree that they do seem like clutter.

Edit: Misread the comment you were replying to. I thought you were comparing the number of icons and tabs, but you're just talking about the size of the elements. Firefox is slightly larger, yeah.
Fox Sending Cease & Desist To Firefly Fans For Jayne Hat
Full disclosure, I'm looking for an intern in Madrid starting ASAP. So if you are interested don't hesitate to contact me :) (details on my profile) we work with Ruby, we are agile and we will mentor you :)

I'll say... do an internship but be careful where and with who. Working in a small startup for a handful of months will show you how a company works inside-out, and probably will allow you to do networking with interesting people. Go where you can get a good mentor.

Of course, if you intern in a big-corp just to be a code-monkey it might not be that fruitful (even though you might still learn about 'real life programming' or big architecture).
It didn't. "AdobeUpdate-Setup1.84.exe" is the executable that did the damage.

It's not soaked in ammonia. It's puffed with ammonia. And, no I don't think it's a good thing. I just don't think it's any worse than meat in general. The reason that pink slime caught the public imagination is that it sounds gross, but there's no scientific basis (and I will argue science because if you're going to go with your gut reaction, there's no point in discussing anything with you) for the hypothesis that adding pink slime to meat is harmful.

And I find it pretty baffling that people can have no problem with raising an animal in bondage, shooting a metal slug through his or her brain, skinning the corpse, rending its flesh, and then shipping the chunks around the country to be eaten — but if any of it is slimy, they get squicked out.
It's basically Y2K without the sense of urgency. People assumed ASCII, or at least single-byte supersets of ASCII, would pretty much be the norm, so they never bothered with anything else. And since there are no apocalypse nutters breathing down people's necks to fix it, it often gets deprioritized.

Plan 9 actually tried to do something about this: it assumed Unicode for everything, and invented their own encoding for the process. The OS didn't work out so well (regrettably), but we still use their encoding: it's called UTF-8 now. Still a superset of ASCII, I guess, but at least we've gotten beyond the single-byte assumption.
Exactly what I did with my own blog. My reasons are more technical though and I still suggest user he can mail me if he want to discuss anything.
Perhaps your experience has been different from mine, maybe because I'm based in the UK - I know that US education tends to be more generalised.
Among my friends with or pursuing postgraduate degrees in pure mathematical disciplines, none have any particular knowledge of stats above the undergraduate level. As a master's student, I wouldn't imagine I count for much - but what I know about statistics could be written on the back of an envelope. It's something I've been meaning to remedy for a while now.
It's possible that tenured professors have a wider breadth of knowledge than the average PhD - and I admit that I wouldn't know if that were the case.

As for the depth of statistics as a field, and its reliance on other disciplines - I agree entirely. I think pure mathematicians are far more likely to be ignorant of statistics than statistical mathematicians are of, for example, analysis.
