It's not too surprising to see SPAWAR [0] up so high; the US Department of Defense has required IPv6 compatibility for devices being added to their networks for a while now (I think around 2003)[1]. If you scroll a bit further down the list, Defense Research and Engineering Network (DREN) is at 8.32% as well.

Collaboration Ain’t For Children: 7 Ways To Manage Online Work Efficiently
Churnalism: check articles to see if they're just rehashed press releases
the small business class in my local area seems intensely conformist not rebels. So if one of them opens a cupcake shop they all have to open cupcake shops. Weird.

We're also undergoing a gym bubble where we've recently added several "curves" "24 hr fitness", several golds gyms, and plenty of non chain gyms. "Four of my entrepreneur friends just opened a gym, I better open one too to keep up!".
I don't understand that blog post.

Why Architecture (As We Know It) Is Over
Online education isn't good for what most people want, which is getting certification. It doesn't have the reputation, cheating is harder to prevent, and the barriers to entry are lower.

But if you actually want to learn, I think online is superior for most things or at least will be.
I don't assume, my daughter was a great exemplar for me of what Facebook can be, she was upset that she wasn't "in the loop" when folks were discussing movies to go to or outings, and hadn't seen various photos etc. So signing up gave her a connection to a lot of her friends which enhanced their ability to plan and execute on various group activities. It also opens her up to the 'bad' stuff (stalkers, wall flaming, etc etc). Amongst her friends, who she trusts, it's a net plus to her life.

Similarly people wearing glass around her, whom she trusts, aren't really a threat. So they snap a crazy picture of the pizza cheese that looked like a kitten or a video of an amazing Zelda move, its not a big deal.

My point is that the source of the unease about people filming is a lack of trust in that person and what they are going to do with that data. Amongst friends? Lots of trust. Amongst strangers? Not so much.

So separate the trust issue from the product issue.

Another way to look at this that I just thought about, video camera recorders, aka 'camcorders'. When they came into existence there was a very similar outcry about random people filming random things. But the people who bought them in droves were grandparents so they could take them to their grandchild's house, film their antics and then re-watch them whenever they wanted. They were still creepy if people were randomly filming. So if someone is wearing Glass and it makes you uncomfortable you might ask them to take it off. You're probably not going to ask your in laws who are filming their grandkids, nor are you going to ask the guy who is using it for heads up GPS info while driving a cab, or the store clerk who is doing inventory, or engineer who is sitting in the park reading code. But all of those are solid use cases for it.

I assert that if it fails it won't be because some folks are anxious around others who are wearing Glass.

This reminds me of a much older open source game where two players controlled liquids and the aim was to engulf the other liquid. I can't remember the name of the game, though.

At this time NS solutions are all approximate, but there's a huge gulf between plausible-looking fluids (as in story), and fluids with pressure, velocity distributions accurate enough for analysis (to design an airplane). And within the latter there are further demarcations depending on the type of fluid analysis, where errors manifest as extremely subtle (pressure looks slightly high, vortices dissipate too quickly or too slowly) and judging the best algorithm for a problem becomes almost an art.
Good question. The manual login ensures that a session is started with the correct authentication credentials. Its a good default way to protect against session hijacking attacks.

I suspect we will automate the first authentication down the road, but with such a small drop-off in the new workflow, we're focusing on more core product features first. There's still lots in the new workflow, website, etc. to improve.
The argument is that putting anything between } and else breaks the else statement, so using } else { stresses that you cannot add statements either before or after the else.
The option approach with the ability to set a default is the best approach. Then depending on the default, the right click will show the non-default option.
I don't get your site. There's a BIG green button at the top and when I click it nothing happens.. Then there's an empty crystal ball and below that two other buttons that actually do something.. I have to click again to at least get a very basic idea on what you do.

Besides that the project actually sounds quite interesting!
> In India, the concept of a long vacation is still alien ... Most people here don't have a sense of holidaying.

I think this is a holdover from the colonial era, when the British, before embarking on a fox hunt, expressed the view that the natives shouldn't be wasting their time holidaying.
liquidwar?
I was a little surprised by your comment. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it seems that you expect your service provider to filter traffic for you. I have the exact opposite expectation. Do you expect the same thing from your ISP at home?
I think it's "my girlfriend" and "My boyfriend"

I wonder if it's just safer in the tech online social scene nowadays to avoid gender and say things like "my partner" to avoid gender related trouble. A curious contrast against how we'd speak in regular life. Related: http://tomayko.com/writings/rest-to-my-wife

I don't doubt that you all are good engineers/scientists, and that whatever processes you seek to optimize, you will.

But these things will happen anyway, whether at Counsyl or at another well-funded company with high-quality people.

Whether Counsyl has happened upon some key insight or technology which will make it a revolutionary company is another question. I don't see enough in the article or amongst the comments by employees here to indicate as such.

The points about Pinker etc are not that these aren't impressive people, but rather what do they have to do with the technology or business of Counsyl other than snob appeal?

What disturbs me is the seemingly coordinated release of the article, with the overwhelmingly positive comments by employees here, and rapid defense of any criticism. The challenges to Counsyl, for the most part, seem rigged to disseminate more information about the company.

Yes, you are proud of your company and what its doing, but (again) it seems like you guys are focused on the wrong things.
Exactly. At a software company, the sales people are paid dramatically more. At one company I was at, the new salesman made more than the CTO.
If we had a gender neutral way of describing a romantic relationship with someone that'd fix it. Right now perhaps it seems like this is specifically targeting gender when it isn't actually the intent.

I've never dated someone who understands what I do so I relate to this but it has nothing to do gender other than I'm a straight male.
The guy has a girlfriend and he obviously had a conversation with her where he was too afraid to put it on HN. She took the initiative, as a good woman should do, and did an excellent job demonstrating the tool.

So I would say the more technical term for your feeling is: nonsensical.
Not really all that interesting - the "arms race" in those positions over offence and defense is still very much stronger, faster, higher; along with the opportunity for creativity and improvisation being quite low. The other positions are more about the opposite.

One thing I didn't expect though was for safety to be so average. I thought it might be a little higher given the fluidity of the position, but then again safeties are usually bit players in the defense. Personally, I'd love to see a team try to run a defense through the safety.
The problem with partner on HN is it makes me think co-founder or the like. :-\
I personally think it will not become mainstream. Too goofy.

> You'll actually hit port limitations first (if you can support ~65k connected clients per machine)

This isn't actually a limit, by the way. The port limitation is a uniqueness constraint on full (source IP, source port, dest IP, dest port) tuples; it just means one client can't have more than 65k connections open to your server (which tends to trip people up, because they see themselves running into the limit when benchmarking parallelism--because they're sending all the requests from their own computer.)

What you'll usually hit first is the open file descriptor ulimit.
I had a friend that approached me about 18 months ago regarding the best way to pay down his loans. I started with a simple model and as it came to fruition, wound up with a solution[1] that factors in the present value of savings, future interest rates, and tax consequences. This is a more mathematical effective strategy for paying down debt.

By considering the present value of savings, you are able to judge the relative difference between a loan that recognizes savings in 30 years vs 10 years, for example. Future interest rates are important here because it reflects your opportunity cost of paying down debt (ie you could be saving this money in a risk-free investment instead). Lastly, taxes are extremely impactful because, for those who qualify, paying down a tax-deductible mortgage or student loan ultimately lowers your after-tax income.

Although my site is still somewhat beta, I invite folks to come sign up for free and give it a try.

> the news of such an extreme terrorist act would surely cause unbalance throughout Western economies; disrupting peace, supply chains, and many companies.

And that, in a nutshell is the whole problem. We should not react to such news at all, it would solve the terrorist problem and the economic issues in one go.

Do you think everyone would take those random days off on a regular basis if your founders instead worked 6 days a week and never took vacations? (honest question based on your situation, not rhetorical/sarcastic)

Sometimes, particularly with young people (no family and no college buddies around), I had trouble getting them to take vacations because frankly they just had nobody to hang out with for a long period of time. You can only sit at home (or on the beach) and play WoW for so long, so it didn't really bother me much when they didn't, as long as they were taking enough random days off to stay fresh and motivated at work.
Show HN: A website for exchanging McDonald's Monopoly stickers
It's pretty huge in DC. :-)
It looks like either reddit has discovered HN, or someone figured out that injecting "girlfriend" into article titles garners loads of votes for reasons beyond my comprehension.

It's pretty pathetic how effective of a baiting tactic it is, in terms of both title and content. This is the second time this week that I've seen a submission hit HN's frontpage that used their girlfriend to snatch votes, I seriously hope it doesn't become a trend.

Is that because in C, you have to explicitly pass around your lexical scope as fields in a struct, and then you have to remember to explicitly deallocate the struct and null out any pointers to it later when it's no longer needed?
I for one am glad that the Reddit effort turned into the fiasco it did.

Criminal investigation is a profession. Asking a bunch of amateurs to come up with a solution is akin to asking a bunch of amateurs to build an air traffic control system. Sure, there might be a few people in the crowd who can actually do it, but most people can't. Worse, they're likely to suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect. And with everyone given equal voice regardless of ability, and a popularity driven forum, you have a recipe for disaster every time. The only difference between this and Salem is the crowd size.

The FBI played it right by not releasing anything important and letting the public have its little playtime. It's unfortunate that this caused some innocent people to be flagged by the mob, but I think that given the circumstances of our more connected lives, this was the best play to make in a bad situation. The mob would move regardless, so why not slow then down by sending them chasing their tails for a bit while the real professionals got down to business?
They are building a social network for families. So they don't need to have lots of users, just a large part of a few families to have the network effect tested.

Review of zipline for HFT
I think it is worth mentioning that once the bombers were identified, Reddit did an amazing job covering the manhunt in real-time, I think it was a first, and a great achievement. With live reporting, pictures, videos and police scanner streams, it almost felt like actually being in Boston, and a new form of journalism.
I'd take that deal all day. It's like being a founder, with lots of resources, and much less risk!
Hi everyone! A fellow classmate and I have exams approaching, so we thought that the best way to procrastinate will be to build something. That's why we hacked Monopoly Exchange quickly (in about 2 days) to allow people to exchange stickers in the McDonald's Monopoly game and we are interested in your opinion!
not yet, like i said i am sure they are working on this as it should be easier as the flash deployment was.
Hmm on my development machine MySQL is already there, when Maria DB becomes an option I'll switch. Probably same with my Hosting.

If they are technically the same, the cost for me currently is the same ($0), and the experience is the same, there is not immediate justification. Now when Maria adds some nifty new feature (schema-less data storage, intelligent joined results, or some other cool, thing that takes the bite out of massive SQL queries) then it becomes compelling because it isn't same-old/same-old.

I'm sure the same goes for a lot of others; additionally I am comforted that Maria exists and is being developed, and if my situation changes that will be the direction I go.
Most likely the opposite after all the data was predicting a crash, regardless of the veracity of the information itself.

In other words, false information is information too, especially when disseminated broadly.

Those with $120K+ salaries... what do you do?

It is an attempt to outline the current shift in attitude towards privacy from different perspectives.

Governments want more transparency on usage of personal data and give users access to their personal data. Have you heard of Smart Diclosure and Midata?

It happens that giving users back their data and enable them to do whatever they want with it, is not a threat to innovation. Quite the opposite. It seems to me that there is very pertinent approach such as VRM that would benefit customers and companies.

Does it make more sense to you now?
you can't pay a reasonable amount of money and get the final product.

Isn't that the intent, that it's a funding platform and not a retail purchase system? I remember Kickstarter making a very big deal about this a while ago.
My wife and I come from two different continents and live in a third. That results in a whole lot of traveling just to visit family, and basically no time left for "vacations". It feels rather unsustainable. Would love an unlimited vacation policy, but in the end probably feel guilty to be taking way more than the average person at the company. In less than a year though, we'll move to my home country which has minimum 5 weeks vacation, with many people having 6-7 weeks. Not only does that mean we can cut our "family visit" traveling in half, but also increase vacation by roughly 70%. It'll mean taking a pay cut, but honestly it's worth it.
EDIT: the parent originally said "proxy_read_timeout", and this comment was in response to that.

proxy_read_timeout times out reads from the upstream. It will trigger when a backend server goes AWOL, not when a client falls off the net.

If you want to detect client-side disconnection, you want proxy_send_timeout.

You can emulate this by having server sent heartbeats with a proxy_read_timeout with the client required to respond to them before the server will send any more, thus going read-silent whenever the client fails to respond, but why not just have the client do the pinging? Then the server doesn't have to say anything in response most of the time.
10 Marketing Tricks from Neil Patel, Co-Founder of KISSmetrics
Boys Clubs
I have to say this article really annoyed me.

Maybe I read too much into it, but he seems to be snubbing people who take vacation. I'm glad not vacationing works for him, and it's his life to live, but that's not for everybody. I wouldn't write an article snubbing people who work all the time, and I don't see why he needs to snub people who take vacation.

Second, he seems incredibly proud to be working all the time. A good portion of the article is basically, "Hey, check me out! I'm working all the time! How cool am I?". Get over it.

Third, the author has a hugely exaggerated sense of self-importance. Reading the article, you'd think he's curing cancer and AIDs and cleaning up the environment all at once. Take this, for example: "But startups are different. Startups are a mission; a belief that something impossible is actually possible. It’s being part of a team that is working toward some distant horizon. It’s this competing against the impossible that makes it so much fun."

And what is the distant horizon he's working toward? From the 42 Floors home page, it's "The best place to find office space." That's the impossible he's making possible? That's why he's working 100% of the time? What a joke.

> develop an expertise.

This. It's the same way in the high profile freelance game. Those that have a specific knowledge, most often, can charge higher, often ridiculous, rates. It doesn't even have to be languages or frameworks. It could be implementing large scale ecommerce solution with Magento. Companies that need that level of focus are willing to pay.
Me too, I just updated on Arch but activating SPDY isn't working so far:

Work in the SF bay area at a larger startup or tech company and be great at what you do.
My fiance and I have taken to using our vacation when others generally don't. She has an unlimited vacation policy while mine is very strict (n hours per pay period) but generous. Taking vacation at odd times means it's less crowded where ever we go (if we go anywhere) as well as if there is a large absence of employees from her firm or mine, it's almost like a second vacation where we can concentrate on getting our individual tasks completed.

There is less of a pronounced absence at the end of the year for my company because hours roll over and the cap is somewhere around 2.5 years of time.
You make a good point. Consider making an extra payment on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. The "savings" you recognize are not showing up tomorrow, next month, or even five years from now. What you are really doing is shortening the maturity of your loan (knocking off payments at the end of the term). So, in most cases, making extra payments on a mortgage is essentially making a bet on future interest-rates / inflation in years 25-30 from now.
"where he was too afraid to put it on HN"

Hard to believe he was "afraid". More likely simply a gimmick to make it stand out (not implying negative by use of that word).

Besides I don't get this:

"My boyfriend Mark is way too much of a perfectionist to post his startup on HN"

He posted his startup on HN that is "marknadal" posted the link to his girlfriends video.

And what does being a perfectionist have to do with this anyway?

LA Startup Report: More Startups Launched & Acquired Than Any Previous Year
I came to the conclusion a while ago that without a significant ownership stake (where I benefit when the company profits or is sold), not taking time for myself and family means lost opportunity for life.

IMO every cost should have a potential positive return. Work = paycheck. More work = vacation, unless more work = windfall.
I wonder how many people clicked because they were interested in the start-up and how many people because they were interested in the girlfriend.
I think the point is that water is only technically blue; in small quantities like those simulated, its appearance is mostly the effect of refraction and scattering and all that fun stuff, which is a whole new can of worms. So they add some blue (or green) partly to make it more obvious what's going on, but partly to cover up for the optics not being quite right.

You can see it especially in the last demo in the video. When the water spreads across the floor, it looks a little like a puddle of blue dye is diffusing into the water, and it's hard to tell how it would look if the water were more realistically transparent.
