Some theories bring something new to karl marx theory, as neomarxism and robot alienation.

Marx thought that because machines (or robots) can produce lot more than humans and more effciently, a capitalist would replace little by little all humans workers by robots, with the benefits generated by the gain of productivity, for making more money and win the price competition...
So the final society will have production only made by robots. It was partially true because he made the theory that these machines, well designed, cost less than hires hundreds humans with social rights, but he didn't expect that instead of replacing human by machines, we have found cheaper human work in China, or India for example, which is less efficient but cheaper at a large scale, when machines were too expaensive to invent or to maintain.
New slave humans have replaced old slave humans protected now by social rights, and investments have been made to delocalisation not robotisation.

Neo-marxists believe that the society is not as Marx describe it as always a fight against classes, oppressed or exploited people against oppressor or exploitant people, but is divided in 3 strates. The INNOVATORS, the REPETITORS and the PARASITES.

Innovators are people which make the world move forward by their everyday work. Researchers, scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers, artists...

Repetitors are people which will not make the world move forward and change by their everyday work. These people are honorable, because they make repetitive stuff everyday to make the society run.
It is your bus driver, your cloth seller, the nurse, the waiter at your restaurant etc...

So the innovators work depends exclusively of repetitors work. If nos buses, no farmers, the society falls down (see the Maslow pyramid of needs) and all the philosophers will come back to farm for eating.
A funny question is : at which level of productity does we enable the apperance of a philosopher?
It will be only when we'll have enough productivity to give resources to innovators just to innovate.
Even be an entrepreneur ! If the repetitors were not there, you will not try to make your company.
Think to all these repetitors thaht enable you to run your compaany, have employees coming at work, eating etc...

And parasites are people which slows the change, defined often by the cut of money they take of investment that make the workd change (Banks, even investors asking for dividends)

So they think that repetitors need to be and will be replaced by robots. Making repetitive things has no interest for humans, right?
Humans are not work or energy like in Matrix...

Humans has to stay innovators, making the world move forward, exploiting always with more productivity the resources the earth provide and always try to better understand our world, with science, with art, with code.

Loking forward to see the robots coming in our everyday's life, enabling us to be really humans.
The article is not about the kernel, but about delivering something people can use and expect that it works. So not just a kernel itself. Fairly common to call that Linux, even if technically it is just the kernel (and IMO GNU/Linux is "urgh").
I am not familiar with the crackers' terms. So does this mean that name.com is not safe? All my domains are there...

My objection to that map, as someone who was born and raised just north of Dallas, is that no one I've ever met in Dallas County has ever used "coke" to mean carbonated drinks generically without prompting (I will admit some people claim to do so; a claim belied by their use of "soda" in casual speech.)
From http://hedonometer.org/about.html :

> “Why does the day of Osama Bin Laden’s death have such a low happiness score?”

> Many people presume this day will be one of clear positivity. While we do see positive words such as “celebration” appearing, the overall language of the day on Twitter reflected that a very negatively viewed character met a very negative end. It was a day of complex emotion which is best explored in the word shift for the day, rather than the single number of its average happiness.

That's.. a pretty dodgy statement. A more straightforward and honest explanation would have been "We use a bag of words approach which relies on the assumption that people use negative words when they feel down and positive words when they feel good. This sort of models gives good results in most simple cases, but doesn't handle complex cases, and can't take into account that people sometimes use the words "death" and "dead" in a positive way."

There's nothing wrong with using these sorts of basic models. That's what pretty much everyone who provides sentiment analysis does, and it's good enough for most cases. But there's no need to hide the limits of the system either.
Extensive Reference for Kali Linux (~670 pages)
The urgency to interview, followed by the abrupt halt in communication isn't something that is unique to Silicon Valley or engineering positions. I had it a lot in London a couple of months ago for mostly product jobs.

It's incredibly unprofessional / downright rude - especially when so much pressure is put on to get you through the interview process quickly. It also means that I now have a negative opinion of a number of companies - and advise friends against applying or interviewing there if approached.

I've been in a position of hiring before, and while it's not nice to tell someone that they haven't got the job, it's the polite thing to do. Most people are reasonable, and it increases the chances of them recommending your company to others.
That seems somewhat scary if they've compromised domain registrars and are intercepting login data from client sites that way.
Hiring Drupal Developers Very Easy For Your Web design Needs

In my personal experience the best way to learn how the stack works is to use the stack even if you don't know how it all works yet. You'll pick up pieces here and there and you'll eventually have your "aha!" moment and everything falls into place. If you're a complete beginner it will take you a couple months to understand the basic concepts and practices I'd say, but you learn exponentially from there. Just think of a project you want to do, no matter how complicated it seems, and do it. You'll be googling things every other minute but that's fine, that's how you learn this stuff. Books are good to get an overall perspective, but things change very quickly on the web, so the web is the best way to learn and stay updated.
> Why does PayPal have such enormous power? What's stopping other initiatives from getting enough traction?

They have a huge amount of inertia because the average guy of the street has heard of them and can trust them to some degree.

Trying to get people to sign up with a new, unknown payment processor during checkout will have a strong negative effect on your conversion rates.

I think if sound was working on the Linux server estates of tens of thousands of servers that I have worked on, that would be a problem. I don't really see Linux as a desktop OS, but the attempts at making it one is quite valiant.
That's not what he asked for. I'm too curious about the changes since RC1.

The only reason most people upgrade their phone more often than their PC is because they use it more. Why upgrade a PC that is just sitting in the corner collecting dust anyways?
I don't get it. And it get's me worried.

I'm exactly at the first years of my programmer career, just got my degree, and I was thinking in which I'd like to specialize and how I want to do things... but how can I succeed when all that hard work can get you to failing any way?
Does anyone know a good alternative to PayPal?
The hiring process is for sure broken.

Nowadays when recruiters ask me more than two algorithmic questions in the same interview I just tell them gently to fuck off because "I'm not an algorithmic dictionary and when I need to use one i google it and it's done."
I loop twice, so complexity is O(2N).

Actually, it's still O(N).

Congratulations on the App Store release. I’m assuming that we’re sharing a certain amount of vitriol regarding provisioning and code signing.

A few ideas that might be of your interest:

* Automatic text shrinking in UILabel is likely the numero uno bad feature put in place to encourage bad interface design. It makes font sizes inconsistent, it destroys visual rhythm, and it jags the lines. Try to implement variable height table views and be typographically consistent.

* UIActionSheet on iPhone should be presented from the bottom-most edge of the screen, not any random view, and not from the bottom of a view above the toolbar.

* The Comments view is using the grouped style with one cell per section. This is not a good idea because it simply introduces much more visual noise.

* Readability integration, read-later services and social sharing are all present in news:yc. They are not actually selling points when everybody can get it done practically in no time.
License agreement for using the term "Hackathon"
Stickers won't save you now
I guess you won't complain when I cut off one of your arms, since some other guy lost all four limbs in a car accident...

Unfortunately, even if he accepted bitcoin, probably less than a tenth of a percent of customers would pay with bitcoin. I agree though, that would be better.
Does anyone have a good background on why PayPal is not subject to the same regulations as banks? Is it because they don't lend?

There is a lot of inside-baseball in this, but the one they keep talking about, is, "shred customer data" - as in,

" Recognizing their situation, we instead told them that if they acknowledged HTP in their analysis, we'd go ahead and shred their customer data anyway."

Do they honestly, for a single second, think that any LEA, corporation, or, well, anyone would believe that once the information was compromised, that there was no putting the genie back in the bottle? Also - I suspect there are probably disclosure laws that had to be followed by Linode anyways.
Depends on which market you target. In Russia and some of the other former soviet countries there is WebMoney which has low fees (0.8% for transactions, unknown for withdrawals from WebMoney) and as far as I know does not screw over its customers as much. In Sweden there is Klarna for letting ordinary people pay with invoice. In many countries there are options where you can use your internet bank to pay.

And if it is credit card payments you wish to receive it is worth looking into a getting an account at a payment processor.
Thanks for this. I'll take a look at those areas.
Though I'm wanting more functionalities, will it be okay if I gather likes for the facebook page even though the functionalities I wanted are not yet implemented? (e.g. first impression of the site's current functionalities can make a visitor like/dislike the site)
The point is, when you're dealing with people of this level of supposed skill, they can just walk into pretty much any network. They're all vulnerable on some level if you're capable of actually breaking them yourself in novel ways.

The only real solution is either to not depend on any single network, or to make it clear that you will simply kill anyone who troubles you. Or just remain innocuous enough that nobody will care to.
Same question here. (rant) I'm based in Australia and have found very difficult to land a full-time Job for an Entry level web developer. (adding I'm international, on a temporary working visa).
freelance sites promote races to find the lower bidder and Job seeking boards are full of recruiters who usually ask for 5+ years of commercial experience in every known to man JavaScript framework + ASP.Net, PHP, SOAP, REST, LAMP environment and Cloud-based VPS what ever that means to the recruiter. (I feel relieved already) If any of you have read this far, my portfolio is on http://smaugh.net/ and I'm available for hire!
I wonder how they deal with ironic statements. It seems that they merely extract words out of the context.
Mind over fatter
Sounds like a trust-issue. Perhaps that's it? Startups often fee they don't have do spend money on marketing. But a trust-issue is a good problem to have, branding can take care of that. First thing to do is convert 'trust -> faith & confidence'.

"...there is also growing evidence that increasing numbers of people today are unwilling to engage in social or economic contracts based on trust. Globalization has arguably contributed to a loss of social connectedness in many developed and undeveloped nations by disrupting traditional employment patterns, and people who have seen their social networks disrupted may be reluctant to trust others.

Meanwhile the traditional family has been under assault by other social changes, and young people may find it difficult to even learn to trust. For many people, relationships based on faith or confidence may feel more comfortable than those based on trust. Source (2005): http://www.brandchannel.com/features_effect.asp?pf_id=263
As far as I can tell, they currently don't.

“How will you deal with context?”

We are currently developing a principled method to identify
relevant phrases, for example to deal with the multitude of both
positive and negative uses of profanity. We expect to be scoring
phrases instead of words, where appropriate, in the near
future."

Also, they mention elsewhere that they use a bag of words classifier, so they can't really account for things like this easily.
Beyond that, they also showed that such actions now has risk involved. Hopefully this will lead to the lawyers getting jail time, and that will in turn discourage more legit lawyers from trying a similar scheme even with a A game performance.
How To Build A WordPress Website From Scratch Part 8
In Japan you don't pay the price of the phone itself, you pay it through your 2 years contract with the provider. And that's a huge market.

I don't think PC collect dusts. You need to type a report for school/work ? You need to print stuff ? You need to edit your pictures ? You need to develop software ? Smartphones cannot help you there.

Let's be realistic a second, smartphones are never going to replace ALL PC usage. People just use different systems for different things, depending on where they are.

And the "only" reason why people replace their smartphones more often is because it's cheap through contracts and because its a fashion to show off your smartphone nowadays for most young people. Don't tell me it's because it runs faster, because 2-3 years old models still work perfectly for all intended purposes.
HTP5 stands for Hack The Planet 5, the fifth issue of the zine linked in the parent comment.
not exactly a paypal alternative but if more devs outside the US could use reasonable companies like stripe, braintree etc for CC processing we would.

until good CC processing companies go worldwide, what are the choices? just an idea, but I wonder if it is legally possible for an american company to provide the services of a payment collector on behalf of non-US devs. people could integrate stripe's API to pay to this company and they could handle wiring money worldwide for a small reasonable fee.

Even in countries like Australia CC processing is expensive and potentially restrictive to small startups and devs.
Some kind of company in the US that takes payment on your behalf and wires it worldwide with reasonable charges would be a boon to countless devs and startups all over the world.
That or bitcoin takes off and everyone just starts using it. Until then, Paypal is your payment buddy albeit a dodgy one that rips you off every chance it gets. Thus their immense power.

EDIT: Also worth pointing out that the guy above is being given a hard time by his country's laws and it's banking system - not just Paypal.

Typically services set an internal "comfort" limit. When a client passes that limit, it is flagged internally for review. You can then risk-assess: look at who the customer is, what are they doing with it, do they have an incentive to pay a large bill (i.e. would it kill their service if you cut them off for not paying). You can then decide to let them continue, contact them for an interim payment, or suspend their service if the risk is too high. While you're risk-assessing them, they can continue to use the service (it's not automatically suspended) so the customer need not know what is happening.

And of course, its usually wise to factor in a level of non/tardy payment into your cash flow projections, as a realistic cost of doing business.
Here's a thought experiment: What if some guy actually were a child molester, a pedophile, or something from the list of things mentioned in the article. Then one day, his girlfriend finds out about it. And she starts an internet campaign like that -- not because she wants to warn others, but just for personal reasons like the girl from the article.

Would that change how you feel about an internet "smear" campaign like that, the difference obviously being that it's not defamation but facts?

EDIT: Since I'm getting downvoted already, I'd like to add that I don't want to imply that the above is my opinion (nor that it isn't). I'm just genuinely interested in the truthfulness of the statements posted by the girl is a factor relevant to people's judgment of what she's doing. It is completely hypothetical (but that's often the nature of thought experiments).

It's more scary if they've compromised a SSL CA. A simple DNS attack won't stop your browser from displaying a broken certificate warning. (Though they can always not redirect from http to https and most users won't notice, sadly.)
Perhaps offer a variety of payment options to your customers and add a small fee to the methods that give you problems (like PayPal).

This will give feed-back to the customers about the convenience of these payment options and will give them an incentive to use a different method.

Windows 8 at 6 months: Q&A with Tami Reller
There's a brilliant algorithm. In the interest of looking good for promotion, waste everybody's time, miss out on the good people that would help the company succeed (and presumably that would grow the stock valuation), and, the good interview candidates miss out on a job that feeds them and helps them grow their career. Just brilliant.
Hi All - I've never done a 'show hn' before, but I enjoyed making this and thought I'd share it. My motivations were to create a very simple UX with no backend. Data is collected through nginx logs. I'm trying to get at least 10k shapes for analysis.
It's interesting that we use the word "stealing" for this. Intellectual property is a wishy-washy term, defined entirely by the laws of the land. If China's laws and philosophy don't recognize United States IP laws, then it's not really "stealing" on their end.

Perpetuating the mentality that US ideas of IP are the only ones in town does a great deal of harm (see: RIAA, MPAA), and quickly leads to absurdity. Maybe we all deserve Chinese justice on account of us stealing their paper technology?
"I think it sucks!" said Jobs.

His vehemence made Tim pause. "Why?" he asked, a bit stiffly.

"It just does."

"In what sense?" said Tim, getting his feet back under him. "Give me a clue."

"Its shape is not innovative, it's not elegant, it doesn't feel anthropomorphic," said Jobs, ticking off three of his design mantras.

"You have this incredibly innovative machine but it looks very traditional." The last word delivered like a stab. Doug Field and Scott Waters would have felt the wound; they admired Apple's design sense. Dean's intuition not to bring Doug had been right. "There are design firms out there that could come up with things we've never thought of," Jobs continued, "things that would make you shit in your pants."

He's implying that the teacher's relationship may have not been ok by Malaysian standards. She might be considered "damaged goods" now (note: I know literally nothing about Malaysian culture.) Here in the States, that might have been dealt with through street justice. That nobody really cares about that sort of thing in the US anymore doesn't mean that it's not a consideration abroad. Her romantic prospects in her home country might be potentially destroyed. That's all speculation; and I'm not, of course, justifying her actions.

As a Java game engine developer, I can say it's still a problem with Java. Sound mixing will work or not depending on people's installed sound system, sound cards, Linux distro, and a plethora of other factors I don't understand (and apparently no one understands, according to forum searches).

And yes, I know most of you don't like Java, but this is still a problem that doesn't happen in any other OS (OS X is Unix and handles this fine).
On their website ( http://www.young-targets.com/free-licences/ ) they claim: "There will be no license fees for the use of the trademark “hackathon” for non-commercial purposes in Germany. ... There will no wave of lawcease-and-desist letters rolling through Germany."

Yet looking at the details of the doctape hackathon, it's a free event with free food for the participants. You could argue that it might have some commercial character since participants are expected (mind you, not forced, only expected) to hack up something doctape-related. However i'm fairly sure this does not fall under the definition of a commercial event.

With this Lutz and his friends have tipped the card and made clear their intentions of simple extortion.
