There are plenty of tests which can show what's wrong with you - but they're not "standard" in the sense of doctors using them.

If your morning cortisol is above a certain level or below a certain level; if your morning, before-you-get-out-bed axillary body temperature is above or below a certain temperature (under 97.8 or above 98.6); if your blood pressure deviates by a certain amount over a 16-hour day; if your average temps deviate by more than 0.2 F from day to day; if you have post-exertional malaise… you have an HPA malfunction of one kind or another.

I'd say "you should also get your thyroid checked" but the blood tests for that are atrociously useless. Check the symptoms. Low body temp, especially in the morning before you get out of bed (mine ranges from 96.5-97.4), slow heart rate if you're not an athlete (mine is 50-60 bpm and I am NOT an athlete!), puffy face/eyes, myxedema (non pitting) swelling/thickened rubbery skin on your upper outer arm or shin, changed ankle-tap reflexes, very cold extremities, Raynaud's phenomenon, etc., those are the signs that are actually diagnostic of a thyroid insufficiency.

These are how doctors have diagnosed and treated low thyroid successfully for a hundred years. The blood tests are a new thing but they aren't very indicative of actual dysfunction (or function).

All of the above is like a lot like low blood pressure. Low blood pressure is only defined by numbers when it becomes dangerous to life. Otherwise, you're diagnosed with low blood pressure if your blood pressure is "normal" or below and you have symptoms. E.g. I have low blood pressure at 100-110/60-70 even though that's considered just fine, because I feel faint when I stand up and other symptoms.

It still legalizes asking for accounts and there's still room for misinterpretation.

The policy does not make that distinction.

An app generally needs a backend and it is clear some of the policies are directed towards not the app itself but how it interacts with the backend. These same guidelines are meant to be used to stop apps such as malware games that collect contacts and send them to the backend to be used as spam email lists.
nailed it. short and sweet.
My immediate reaction is "Should I trust this fucking website?"

Based on my 2 minutes of using it, that's a very firm no.
My take on this is that if I work for, say, the Chicago Tribune as the person responsible for handling a Twitter account (perhaps @ChicagoTribune?), my employer can require me to give them the password for that account.

This does not distress me.

The other significant part, that employers can request account information for accounts "that the employee uses for business purposes" but can't "discharge, discipline, or otherwise penalize or threaten to discharge, discipline, or otherwise penalize an employee for an employee's refusal to disclose" I see as mostly placing requirements on employers: Make sure your staff is not becoming the "face" of your brand with their personal accounts.
Fix and continue isn't live; its a start, but you still have lots of work to do in UX to display evaluation. I would try using LightTable before passing judgement.
What I generally dislike with these articles is that someone quickly draw the conclusion "never criticize, always believe in the idea, even if it seems stupid at first sight"

And of course, I find that terribly wrong. The author did not hint that at all (which I appreciate), however, but I still believe many will think this.

The point is that you must carefully examine each idea before jumping to a judgement. Do not dismiss the bad points. Just think it through.
It wont work every time, because you're not perfect, and because you don't have all elements/cards in your hands (unless you can see the future and read people's mind, of course).
All you can do is a best guess. Obviously, the author is either very unlucky, either bad at doing the best possible guess.
Yeah, I still think pintrest and vine are dumb, its just they have a lot of users.

Just because you think something is dumb doesn't mean it isnt a viable business model.

People sell virtual rubies to people building ruby houses all day every day, and that is dumb.
"That said, pointing out to users that you don't have to tell them when you've been breached might not make you any friends."

Read To Lead: How To Digest Books Above Your “Level”
:-( Dont worry. I've spent the past year talking to recruiters and there are other ways you can impress them even if you're not in a 'target major.'

The biggest reason why I'm building something in the recruiting (specifically entry level/internship) space is that right now, if you're not on a 'target campus', in a 'target major' or have personal connections, you're kind of screwed and left to the will of Taleo (may thou readeth dry job descriptions for hours with no response, gwahahahah!!!).

That's bullshit. It should be about talent, passion/interest and demonstrated abilities, not just BS credentials.
It also, unlike tar.gz, provides an index for easily seeking to and extracting just one file from the zip archive. My understanding is that doing this in a .tar.gz means unzipping and processing the whole tarball as a stream.

"At this point, I could have simply complained to Google in order to obtain the source code for the kernel. However, I expected that would take days (Google actually ended up posting the code within hours on Saturday, but that was under rather large public pressure), "

FWIW:

1. It wouldn't have taken days, it would have taken roughly the same time no matter when it happened, or whether it was requested privately or publicly.

In most cases, faster. Part of the time delay was that I needed to give the code.google.com oncall folks a heads up in case it caused them a massive amount of traffic (it's generally bad form to cause a DDOS to someone else's service without giving them a heads up), since that was not the original planned release mechanism, and historically, these releases generate a bunch of traffic.

2. The very small number of times (in the 7 years i've been there) these things have been screwed up, even privately, we have almost always given people source within hours, so i'm going to say it was more that I try to correct mistakes as quickly as possible.

The only case it didn't happen that quickly that i'm aware of was when someone in a beta program requested pre-release GPL source, which we, of course, gave them, but it took a day or two to actually pull it together.

When it comes to stuff like open source compliance, what you do when things go wrong matters as much as what you do when things go right.

You should always feel free to ask folks for source, and beat them over the head if they don't reply quickly.

Besides that, the general rule of thumb for the GPL is that if you give binaries outside the company, that's what matters, not whether it was only sold to a few people, labeled a beta, or whatever.

There were a few companies (this is about 13 years ago now) using GCC that tried to use NDA's to separately restrict GPL release of new architecture patches until some "public release date" for that architecture, and the FSF threatened suit. It got worked out, and eventually led to this seemingly random message to the GCC mailing list:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-07/msg01342.html

(This is also when the GPL FAQ was updated with the same answer)
One nice thing about using SQLite is that various compressed versions of the flattened image could just be stored as blobs in another table in the same file. For example, my camera shoots with a RAW+JPG mode that produces two files, why not store the RAW data as described here and the JPG as an easy to grab/display item for quick image viewers etc. Hell store various common versions of thumbnails and icons in there as well.
I had the same comment below. Does popularity make up for it being stupid in the first place? So, because someone can get rich, does it mean his idea was right?

Well, maybe in a business sense, the idea was not wrong if you could gather enough fools to back you up, but that does not make it less of a stupid idea.
Quite easily. All offer options for building standalone programs that don't need a pre-installed runtime.

You just copy them to some directory, run them and they work.

And some of them even support building native binaries (e.g Java through gcc).
It's not difficult, it's just one more thing to have to do.

Like most things, I think it really just boils down to an aesthetic preference, and it's usually up to whoever actually maintains the code anyway. :)
My point is that the misinterpretation is catastrophically riskier for the employer than the employee. This is as it should be, but isn't something the author of this article (or many commenters here) seem to recognize. Some commenters even hint at a belief that employers can directly access employee accounts on third party services, which is not an action accommodated by Illinois law.
why not reserve a specially named table with the format identifier in there that file(1) could poke into and take a look at?
Cool! I have trouble remembering all the things to do, so I died a couple times from hypothermio. On Safari, it seems to try to load Ogg files, which doesn't work. I also made an HTML5 game for Ludum Dare, but it was under the 48-hour solo rules. All my audio is encoded both as MP3 and as Vorbis, and I use audio.canPlayType() to choose the format.

Nobody ever claimed that Rust is "there yet".

The core Rust developers all say that Rust is still in flux, and that a stable version is still many months in the future, possibly 2014. And they advise not to use it in production.
From our experience to develop the mobile app with HTML5/Javascript/CSS i.e. Cordova, not only that the mobile safari in iOS and webkit in Android sometimes not render js/css the same ( the point brandon_wirtz has raised), but another difficulty we found very hard is to debug the javasript (js that resides in the device, not on the server side) .

in iOS it's okay we could connect device/simulator and open the safari inspector to debug. But in android it's almost impossible to know what & where the javascript has gone wrong and fix.

The webkit in android 2.3.x version also will render differently on some css properties compared to 4.x version.
Virtually nobody in practice uses any of these.† Java binaries are in practice JVM bytecode in classfiles. Python programs are run by the Python interpreter.

Go compiles to native code. Not only do you not need a preinstalled Go runtime on a target system, but there's very little advantage to even having one. The normal way of installing a Golang program is simply to copy the binary and run it. That's powerfully simpler than most other modern programming languages, with the obvious exception(s) of C/C++/ObjC.

† Commenter downthread says the same thing, but let me add that we look at other people's Python/Java/Ruby programs professionally, and I can't recall a single client ever doing anything like this.
I think you want `--ignore-date`,
The man pages are very confusing about such things (in fact there is a minor documentation error in the current documentation on Debian Wheezy).

My concern with using a soft reset mirrors yours, but I would also like to add that it is effectively doing a manual rebase (albeit with different semantics around date) so it seemed rather odd in an article arguing against rebase.
Same here. 2012 Macbook Pro, 16GB Ram, SSD etc. Pretty sure the issue relates to thermal throttling.

It's particularly bad when in clamshell mode, plugged into the Thunderbolt display.

kernel_task CPU usage shoots up when CPU throttling kicks in. I suspect however GPU throttling also is affecting performance.

At times the GUI just feels really slow and laggy. Seriously considering ditching OS X altogether.
What an awesome response.
Copyright transfers must be assigned explicitly and in writing (digital signature would be okay).

"(a) A transfer of copyright ownership, other than by operation of law, is not valid unless an instrument of conveyance, or a note or memorandum of the transfer, is in writing and signed by the owner of the rights conveyed or such owner's duly authorized agent."

So the standard TOS at the bottom of a page would not be okay to transfer copyright.

According to the decision, craigslist moved to a click-through eventually.
This response assumes that joining all social networks is user choice. Unfortunately, we live in a world where it hurts consumers NOT to be on some networks. LinkedIn (which also has had a history of horrible spamming in the past) is an example - sure, you can choose not to be on it, but you'll probably get dinged by hiring managers because your credentials somehow seem less legitimate if not corroborated by LinkedIn.
Ask HN: What's the best way to sell a domain to financial institutions?
I have a domain name, I've had it for years. It is Australian (.com.au) and one which appeals to financial institutions and investment related businesses, a very generic term.

The problem is, you can't exactly walk into your local bank branch and speak to the teller about this.

Has anybody had success selling a domain name to a large corporation or have advice about how to go about getting a good result from parties that would be interested.

Much appreciated.

4:30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of
the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

4:31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and
Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in
all nations round about.

4:32 And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a
thousand and five.

4:33 And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon
even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of
beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.

4:34 And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from
all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.

(1) How can the ground state not be an energy eigenstate? By definition, the lowest-energy state has a well-defined energy (that is, the lowest energy) and therefore ought to be in an energy eigenstate?

(2) You said: "Our current best theory that describes reality at the small scale is quantum mechanics." I don't disagree, but I'd like to emphasize that "at the small scale" might not have been necessary. I think it's a shame when people think that quantum mechanics only applies to small things.

(3) The way that I understand time crystals is that they are analogous to real crystals. And just as the translational symmetry of a crystal creates a corresponding quasi-momentum for the momentum, so does the time-translational symmetry introduce a quasi-energy similar to energy. Is that correct? Perhaps it helps answer my first question.
I felt the same way about twitter. I also still think I was right :-)

The licensing situation is really unclear. The Kickstarter page says, "In order to download packaged distributions, you'll need a license". But I expect that, if it's open source, I can get a packaged distribution by saying (I'm using Arch Linux):

Some general tips for improving workflow:
- within a specific file/project, try to recognize places where you are retyping the same (or very similar) code blocks repeatedly. try to pull those out into a function to avoid redundant code and typing

- try to recognize code structures that you are typing repeatedly across projects, and see if you can make snippets that reduce the number of keystrokes and time needed

- if you are performing the same action multiple times, try making a macro

- get familiar with the keyboard shortcuts for your editor of choice. Try to do as much without the mouse as possible

- for whatever editor you use, do a bit of research to figure out what good plugins there are that might help you. for example, if you write a lot of HTML, you could benefit from
the emmet plugin (zen coding).

- try out a lot of apps. If you think "there should be an easier way to do this", then there probably is.

- avoid shortcuts that sacrifice quality for convenience. doing something quick and dirty will often just create more work for you later.

- don't ever make mistakes. or, if thats not possible, have a plan for debugging.
I've been experimenting with a different metrics toolchain of shh + log-shuttle + l2met recently (also written in Go):

https://github.com/freeformz/shh

https://github.com/ryandotsmith/log-shuttle

https://github.com/ryandotsmith/l2met

shh can be extended with custom pollers written in Go, but focuses on collecting system-level metrics. log-shuttle is a general-purpose tool for shipping logs over HTTP. l2met receives logs over HTTP and can be extended with custom outlets written in Go, but requires log statements in a specific format ("measure.db.latency=20" or "measure=db.latency val=20").

It's great to see so many new tools in this space. Previously I had a bunch of one-off "carbonize" scripts running out of cron, each collecting a specific kind of metric and sending it to Graphite or statsd. This worked OK but required quite a bit of code to get things done. Heka's plugin system looks like a nice way to structure things.
Blocking the Aol Building?
All of us here on Page Mill road (StartX / First Floor / ImagineK12) have been super productive today as HN/YC seems to have blocked our IPs. Not sure if all of *aol.com or just us but just started today. I'm submitting via phone..
It would be interesting to combine this with an open source license which links to the Oath, and forbids use of the code in any project or system which breaks the Oath.

For developers who have undertaken the Oath, the challenge would then be to write the best code, so that it sees widespread adoption. This might potentially make it harder for companies like Path to engage in activities which break the Oath.
But there are still areas, lets say for example civil engineering, where you need to know about building materials, some physics and math to do your job. In CS, on the other hand, if you know how to put together a few web pages in Python and solve half a dozen brain teasers you may get a job in a very good company.
After about two decades in 'new media' I've seen and been part of some rather stupid ideas too. Off the top of my head:
- business card cd-roms: I was working on rights for Canada at one point
- Flash vs. Director: I was a Director guy and thought Flash was stupid; but it sure had it's day vs. Director
- Digital Signage: I had worked out a couple prototypes using CRT monitors and Mac LC pizza boxes installed in integrated cases with a modem for both control and new content. All controlled with a slick little Director application
- A chat program that used proximity and interest matching to bring people together. Prototype was pretty cool for 1998 :-)

There are probably some others, but I love stupid ideas, they make things interesting.
This article doesn't seem fair to physics. For instance, it says:

"How can something move, and keep moving forever, without expending energy? It seemed an absurd idea — a major break from the accepted laws of physics."

I don't think that something moving forever is a major break from the laws of physics. Consider the following:

(1) An asteroid flies through space forever (doesn't violate laws of physics)

(2) A current persists in a superconductor forever (again, no violation)

(3) Heck, currents can ever persist in non-superconductors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistent_current)

(4) The motion of the Earth around the sun (the two-body problem doesn't violate physics)

(5) Even the motion of an electron around a nucleus is perpetual motion in a sense

(6) The fact that things have temperature means that their molecules are always moving!

(7) Etc.

Anyway, there are many examples of perpetual motion in physics. The key point is that you cannot extract infinite energy from them, just like you can't extract infinite energy from a time crystal. So why does the article act like time crystals are a big deal in this respect?

Gotta agree with you on that last paragraph. Rebasing is just a tool. It can be used properly, or dangerously. Even so, a simple peek in your reflog and a `git reset` undoes the changes of a rebase just as easily as when you started. It seems the author of the posted article doesn't know too much about the reflog...

Just today, in fact, I had to use the reflog to go back after accidentally rebasing when I should have merged in changes from master into my pull request branch. So all I had to do was `git reset` to the SHA before I did that rebase, and I could redo my merge as if the rebase never happened. The way I found that SHA was `git reflog`, and I urge you to take a peek sometime just to see what it's all about. It's saved me from many an embarrassing situation.
