If you're not that familiar with RSA you might want to start with http://doctrina.org/How-RSA-Works-With-Examples.html

But if you've been working through Matasano's challenges and were confused why encryption and decryption seem to be commutative, or why the totient - (p-1)*(q-1) - is used, then equation (1) of the main link could well be the revelation you have been searching for.

That does not mean the same thing.

In my experience with running my business, when a customer asks for something it has to do with your business. Maybe at the time he was just processing transactions, but he was working with credit cards. So expanding his business beyond processing and into databasing makes a lot of sense.

Customers will often tell you what they want to pay for, and if you say no, you're going to fail.
Instead of "if you build it, they they will come." For Altucher it's actually, "if you pretend you can build it, they will come."

This is a common theme in some of Altucher's other stories. I think it would only be lying if you acted like you had already built it. However, selling your ability to build a future product is definitely not lying.
Medium didn't pay me to post this article on HN. I'm its author and I figured it could help some people.

Anyway. How is it not a good article? Is it obvious for people to use window managers? Is everybody aware of their existence? Was Medium not the right place to post it?

-Very supportive and helpful community
I write long emails in Gmail. The new compose doesn't bother me at all. I feel like that if Gmail always looked like that, nobody would complain. But since something changed, we get a bunch of articles about how Google knows nothing about UX.

Your guess is well-supported by facts.

> The average age of first-time entrepreneurs in all industries is 43; in tech industries, the average age is 39. Only 16 percent of the fastest-growing and most successful companies in the United States had venture investors. 11 percent had revenues of more than a million dollars.

http://www.kauffman.org/uploadedFiles/FactSheet/EntreAndEcon...

According to the US census bureau, about half a million new firms are established each year (where a new firm is defined as having at least 1 employee on payroll, so this doesn't count everyone starting a website in their spare time). 16%, 11%, these are of big numbers, bigger than the couple dozen companies you might read about on TechCrunch each year.
Donated. I often wonder what the motivation is behind charges like these. It's often political, as in the Swartz case. But I think usually, it's simply that the DAs get satisfaction from being bullies.
Fundamentally I agree with you. In my original comment, I was just trying to give a historical view of why people took the view that "optimizing Fortran compilers are hard to beat," rather than to defend it.

Personally, I think that idea is hard to justify these days, especially when, in my experience, finding 20-30% speed differences between optimizing Fortran compilers isn't all that hard.
> The days of Google Maps being vastly better than Apple Maps are fast disappearing. It is about 95% parity [...]

Not where I live (Tokyo), it isn't.

I have an iPad mini (got it for free!! :] ), which has a nice large display, and I'd really like to be able to use a mapping app on it when I'm at home, but using Apple Maps is painful compared to Google Maps (which I have on my phone). The presentation in Apple Maps is very pretty (well, as long as you don't turn on satellite view and notice the super low-resolution images...), but the data/integration just isn't there.

If you live in Cupertino, of course, Apple Maps probably has fewer issues...

It tells me that SYMANTEC is no longer making a decent enough profit margin to justify the operational and support systems expenses for the product.

Google's support by peer group plays towards online tools and web services. If you've every done ANY large client-side, windows based software development while trying to support aging versions of OS and application distributions it is no SMALL task.

Ask HN: How many hours of sleep are you getting?
Reading blogs and stories around the internet, I get the feeling that sleep is not as important as shipping a product. So how much sleep are you getting, and how has that effected your health?

Personally, I am getting about 5 to 6 hours of sleep per night for about 2 weeks, and then I have a big sleep of about 10hours after that.

Edit: More info.
> but wait, he's over 60.

But he didn't say which way the age discrimination works. Are they only taking ancient programmers because "young people can't possibly have any experience on COBOL/Fortran-loving mainframes" or is it the more familiar form of age discrimination?
1. I think that this is a typo

2. This spec is for protocol-level semantics, you define your application semantics with a profile link in the meta section.
I use the heuristic that many of us here probably use, consciously or not, after our years of experience with math problems: if it's a math problem, as opposed to problem in some other domain that ends up requiring math (science, accounting, carpentry, etc.), there will be some degree of artifice in the problem. Somehow, the numbers will just happen to end up being integers or perfect squares or exact multiples or whatever, so that there is an easy way to solve this specific problem (not a general problem of this sort but this specific instance).

In this case, you examine the numbers and spot that they are both just "one off from one" fractions, so the sum is roughly 1+1. The test givers will then see to it that there is only one answer that matches the result of the "trick" they were testing to see if you could find.

Kids who get a lot of math internalize this heuristic, which actually trips them up briefly when they start having real science classes, because they think they've done something wrong if the answer turns out to be 5.6293 or 0.07291 instead of 4 or 9 or 5/8 or sqrt(10). They assume they missed the trick.

Sadly, you are in a minority. Bing's results are excellent for most people. Slap a Google logo and I'm willing to bet that most people wouldn't tell the difference. It's the Google brand that is golden, at least so far. But lately people are talking and questioning their honesty.
If you want to visualise big O runtime, you draw it on a log-log scale. The linear gradient on the log-log plot is the factor. i.e. if its at 45 degrees its O(n), if its at a gradient of 2:1 its O(n^2).
Handy fact to work out your big O without having to do the tedious math! (See http://jcsites.juniata.edu/faculty/kruse/cs2/ch12a.htm)

Grammar, Guns, The Second Amendment And The Role Of Government
Given that I work full time, have two kids (one being a newborn), and play in a band I sleep very little 4-6 hours a night.

That said, I've been doing this for almost a decade when I was in graduate school and working full time.

Over the last 13 years I've probably put on 10-15 lbs. I try to exercise at LEAST 3 times a week while eating as healthy as I can within reason.

Sleep is critical for memory retention, keeping up your immune system, maintaining serotonin level, general stress relief, etc. With that said if you have to you can adapt running on limited amounts. You'll have to be careful w/ weight gain or depression.
Experiment in paying villagers in India an unconditional basic income
I guess it would qualify more as a figurative interpretation. Its probably subconsciously choosing #1 or #2 then (no matter the choice) hearing the opposing view in the quote, and then immediately interpreting it as a mean spirited attack on your position. Its an almost reflexive jump to being offended that happens often enough that I've given it its own category.
I think that the examples appear to be a 'model-centric' one, because we're trying to reach people that build very model-centric sites as of now, but resources can be anything, so I don't think that it's super specific. This is a good thing to think about though.

I've always had a mentality that if I say I'm going to finish x, I finish x before going to bed. This, as you can imagine, means that I have a very unreliable sleeping schedule. I probably average 5 hours a night every week.

A really good comment I read on HN a few days ago recommended that I set an alarm for going to bed not for waking up, It's been working really well for me.
You do realize it does right?

Totally agree about the kids. However, it is the one thing that I would gladly give up sleep for.
Well, most men are looking for flings (biologically). Some women are looking for flings. Whether or not most people are looking for flings depends on whether (A + B) / dating_population is > 0.5. I would suspect it is, but statistics to the contrary would be an interesting discovery.
At least if you're going to dive into the transport layer, pick a capability that hasn't been added and then unceremoniously backed out-
https://insouciant.org/tech/status-of-http-pipelining-in-chr...

SPDY begins to offer some very appealing alternatives where when sending a document the transport can push all of the individual dependent documents. It really does fix things, begins pushing all the data at once, in a glorious resource-oriented fashion. That said, I would also enjoy a spec that does resource-description of subresources so we can send linked data around without having to have every piece of data be an endpoint.

That said, the immediate follow on question arises- now that we're sending sub-resources, can we get the most important agent to understand and grok our sub-resources- can the browser follow our subresourcing and those subresources to their canonical URLs, and serve those subresources if it's seen them inside another document? There are two questions- first, is your spec good enough to enable that facility where addressing can be well known- here, in this Json Resource Description spec presented yes, via URI templates, very good- and second, does the browser bother to inspect the JSON it sees? No? Well, I'm not super bothered by this academic interest not being materialized, knowing at least in principle the specs make it possible.

The economics of Game of Thrones
The strikingly folks have done a fabulous job in creating a niche in such a over-competed market and making Strikingly.com closer and closer to perfection. I sat in one of their founder-user connection events in Chicago a few days ago. Amazing how much they care about the users and would do anything for them even including suggesting an alternative web-building service if the users have the needs.
One thing I don't get with libertarianism is why this, second paragraph of the book, doesn't apply both ways:

"People who wish to live in a 'virtuous' society, surrounded by others who share their ideas of virtue, would be free to set up their own communities and to contract with each other so as to prevent the 'sinful' from buying or renting within them. Those who wished to live communally could set up their own communes. But nobody would have a right to force his way of life upon his neighbor."
And their solution is to extend the loan term so you pay the monthly payment longer than you possess the car!

I don't see what they hope to gain by lying about price to wealthy customers who presumably got their wealth through the application of something exceeding5th grade arithmetic
Because the law is recognizing something that didn't happen. If I transfer my copyright to someone else, the law then views that person as the originator, owner and creator of that work, legally speaking. But it is not true. I created the work, not the person to whom I transferred the copyright, and no legal formality can change that fact. The law is saying something that isn't true.

I suppose all ownership is this way. My answer, then, is that creating something is fundamentally different than owning it. Your creation of something isn't property that can be transferred.

> "If a machine can produce 2 cars in 10 minutes, how long does it take to produce 3 cars?"

This question is also ambiguous, because there is no info about how long the operation takes, e.g. the machine may be parallelized and produce a 3rd car in 10 minutes along with the 2 others or that the machine may obey a non-linear increase in production time per unit.
On a much smaller scale, Copenhagen is reviving the idea of a grade-separated bike "highway" in at least one place. A major bicycle commuting route currently goes through a complex congested area (with a bunch of 90-degree turns, pedestrian cross traffic, canals, and even a staircase at one point), but will from next year bypass it on a 1/4-km overpass: http://politiken.dk/ibyen/nyheder/gadeplan/ECE1594066/koeben...

In the rest of the city the goal is to string together something more like arterial bicycle roads, though, rather than fully grade-separated highways.
I agree with all the criticisms in the article and in the HN comments.

How To Go From $0 To $1,000,000 In Two Years?

Start with $2,000,00
When I did my undergraduate degree in physics I think one of the best things I learned early on was estimation skills. I was used to doing things precisely and finding the tricks. Our professors made jokes about things just needing to be right to "within an order of magnitude", and it wasn't for two years that I internalized that.

When you deal with the real world there are always a lot of errors and uncertainty in measurement. Simply being within 10% of the right answer is generally sufficient and quickly getting that answer over getting the 99.99% accurate answer is better if it takes you one-tenth the time.
I really liked this quote:

"You don’t have to come up with the new, new thing. Just do the old, old thing slightly better than everyone else. And when you are nimble and smaller than the behemoths that are stuck with bureaucracy, you can often offer better sales and better service, and higher touch to your customers. Customers will switch to you."

Still, coming up with the new, new thing can be the most creative & fun.
The biggest thing for me has been localization. If you happen to use a localized version of Google, it will heavily favor results in that language, and give you mostly crap when searching for stuff in a different language using the localized search machine (so pretty much all the time for programmers).

Thankfully you can still tell it to use Google.com and in english.

>Nitpick: I distinctly remember Ghost having mentioned specific files while it was backing up or recovering, hence it's not (entirely) a block-level backup. Also it could detect free space on the filesystem and not put that in the image.

Block level backups are optional in Ghost, they take a longer time to do, and are less efficient, the option isn't enabled by default.
Looks pretty, although it seems a little bit excessive to me (others might have a different oppinion).

Right, but it works the other way round, too: if your police thinks YOUR competitors (and this may mean, well, gangs) pay better, nothing would prevent it from turning over to protect their interests rather than yours.

Have "I'm subscribing to this project's announcements" be a different item than starring. But when they turn the feature on, make this checked for everyone's starred repos. And when a user stars a new repo, have that automatically subscribe the user to the project's announcements.

The reasoning? If you star a project, you're usually interested in the project's announcements, but not always. In particular, some projects might have high-volume announcements. That's perfectly okay, if the particular project culture wants them; but users who view high-volume announcements as annoyances or even borderline spam can still turn that particular project's announcements off, and still be able to have it starred.
Why then, is this upvoted so much?

First of all... what difference does it make?

Beyond that, I's say "it's impossible to know". Upvotes don't have strictly defined semantics on HN. And they also serve as a defacto "bookmark" mechanis. Given both of those factors, it's hard to justify assuming any correlation between "support for the content of the article" and the number of upvotes. Some people are signifying "This headline caught my eye, I want to save it to read later", some are endorsing the content, other don't endorse the content but are voting in favor of the resulting discussion, etc., etc.

Is it that people think the comments are worth reading so much that they upvote the article in the hope that other readers will read the comments?

Very possibly. Seems like a perfectly reasonable scenario to me.

Are people afraid of flagging articles?

Why would somebody flag this? It's not off-topic or spam. Just because you think a cheat-sheet isn't a great idea, is hardly a good reason to flag the post. But, then again, flagging also doesn't have particularly well-defined semantics either. :-(
Why not? The comparison assumes you are otherwise in the market for a gas-powered car that will cost $300/month above and beyond your car payment.

That misses much of what Ghost does. Ghost is file-system-aware, so it's not a byte-for-byte cloner. It can copy one volume to a large volume, and vice versa.

You can accomplish the same thing in Linux, of course, but it requires a lot more than just "dd".
