Show HN: Morpheus - An algorithm simulator using Ember.js and Paper.js
Morpheus is an interactive visual algorithm simulation system for a distributed synchronous network. It is developed using Ember.js and Paper.js.
It's actually very easy to see what is happening with g and f in this example. I think the part that is pretty opaque to non-FPers is why you would want to do that. Until something clicks, it is hard to see why this construct is anything beyond a very convoluted way of calculating 3 to the fourth power.

Not the whole comment, just the last bit.
A lot of people feel this way. I feel this way even after having worked at Google. Yahoo is going through an exciting transition and I'm confident it'll be competing with Google once more with Marissa Mayer at the top. Its not going to be quick or easy, this is about the long game.

Especially when any bloat is multiplied times however many visitors come to your site. Presenting an efficient front-end to your users is the polite thing to do, as it saves them both compute time and personal time. A lot of efficiency can be gained with tricks like removing dependencies, minimization through gzip, and ahead-of-time compiling.
Maybe this could have been Posterous had they won that battle with Tumblr. Posterous had the superior product early on, but for some reason it never caught on. I wonder how that works, who wins for what reasons. It does not seem to be for product or technology reasons as I think Posterous had Tumblr beat. It's almost luck and magic who picks up the right kind of early users that lead to success. Admittedly it did seem like a bit of an uphill struggle since Tumblr got started a little earlier? Maybe that's it. Tumblr and Posterous were a new kind of microblog platform a couple of years ago, now Tumblr is massive and Posterious is dead.

Another thing that seems interesting to me is that whenever someone exits into an acquisition it's like this space becomes open again for new startups. Someone should make a new microblogging platform that now disrups Tumblr/Yahoo. It's kind of like the dragon Ouroboros, eating its own tail, around here sometimes.
I can't imagine what Facebook would be like today if every user had a share, given the community uproar (at least initially) to any new changes to the UI, feature set etc.
Does anybody here think that this is a good deal for Yahoo?
Federal Credit Unions work in a similar way to the UK's Building Societies. There are other co-ops here but I don't think they have the same penetration as in the UK.

One national brand I CAN think of that is a co-op is REI, I'm sure there are others though, lots of local-focused food businesses use a co-op model.

Costco and Sam's club (wholesalers / cash n carry) offer membership benefits but I think that's more related to getting air miles on your credit card.

On the contrary i would seriously consider getting another job because i would feel like the management is totally broken.

Yahoo is not going to be relevant again because they bought Tumblr. They cant even make their own product relevant.

I cant even understand why anybody would buy Tumblr 1 billion or more.

Dailymotion would have been a good deal, this service is relevant and people are starting to be willing to pay to watch videos. They could have bought loads of usefull stuff for 1 billion.

To me it just feels like a publicity stunt to make the stock go higher for a few days , but what is the long term strategy ?

At that rate Mayer will be out in 1 year from now.

The Customer Journey to Online Purchase
I didn't read all of this, but isn't the current standard business plan to get as many 'free' users as possible, monetize them by adding advertising, then selling their eyeballs to Yahoo, etc. for actual money?

> For the time being, yes, it is.

It's a hypothetical not a question of the present state of things but either way, I disagree. Rachel's comment [1] (I understand it wasn't present when I made my first comment), while terse, is more interesting, more likely to foster interesting discussion and doesn't have the dreaded HN "middlebrow dismissal". And I have no doubt HN can come up with much, much better. The point being, it became a "magnet for upvotes" and nothing better ever had a chance to reach the top to encourage more interesting discussion.

> but a site that included ebay and intuit under the banner of "startups", yes, this might be the most interesting point of the site people want to discuss.

That's unfortunate; I've found HN to be a place to find great tangentially related discussion to otherwise uninteresting posts. That doesn't happen by accident; we need to foster it.

Amazon To Cloud Rivals: Try To Catch Us
While the overall tone of this letter is really nice one thing bothers me. When you sum up the mentioned benefits for Yahoo! and Tumblr there's a great imbalance towards the acquirer. IMHO from the PR perspective it doesn't sound that good, especially that there's not much about the benefits for the users.

EDIT: you can compare how David Karp handled these news delivery, addressing the possible concerns of all parties: http://staff.tumblr.com/post/50902268806/news
Oddly, I've yet to meet one of these "brogrammers" in my life in my past 13 years in the industry.

Maybe I've just been lucky, but I've generally found males in this field to be extremely respectful and welcoming to females, I think partially because of how few of them are in programming and development.
About 90% right but rather than being divisive, as in forming or expressing division or distribution, you could just summarize it as "its a being civilized issue". As in you shouldn't act like a zoo primate, regardless of who is doing what to which gender, etc.

What those cons need is need is a bunch of moms and grannies not just young hotties (and no this is not blame the victim, keep reading) In that old women are a instinctual effective civilizing influence on young boys who are operating at a lower mental age for whatever reason. A stern glance from an old grannie is, oh, probably about 100x more effective at intimidating a jerk than a strongly worded article in Marie Claire. I'm sure that an entire nation of drunken childish frat boys is quaking in their boots knowing that Marie Claire magazine is not so happy with them. The presence of some father figures would help too, fathers of daughters of roughly the age of the harassed hotties tend to be kinda protective. I have no idea how a PR campaign "Take yer mom and grandpa to Defcon this year" would work.

Who would ever have guessed that it takes a cross section of all of society to act civilized, that some kinda weekend long lord of the flies re-enactment doesn't result in the revival of medieval chivalry or the revival of the womens lib movement or whatever.
You can argue (half reasonably I think) that a more targeted advert is better for the user...
Does yahoo have a good track record of acquiring services and not frakking them up? Not a troll question, I stopped using yahoo in 1999 but for the occasional openid.
> It looks that lot of their users don't like that idea:

To be more precise, they don't like this:

"Stop Yahoo! from buying Tumblr!! If this happens, the entire interface will be changed, and millions of users will delete their accounts - me being one of them. Please, please, please sign this to stop this!!"

... which isn't the same as Yahoo buying Tumblr. They don't want Yahoo to negatively change Tumblr (there's a difference).
It's just PR speak for "we'll look for ways to make money with it that don't suck too much". Don't take PR speak too seriously :)

The idea of internet services as a cooperative is an interesting one. To some extent - that extent being outside the formal economy - the cooperative (in the business sense) model might stand in for the bazaar when describing the development of Linux (i.e. The capital was to some extent social and to some extent reduced cost).

I know the idea is a bit muddled. Something along the lines of working on Linux reduced opportunity costs compared to alternatives.

I'd like to add one more thing, in that if you're really trying to help, consider expose him to some NLP.

NLP got a bad reputation from the people in the self-help industry that latched on to it, but at its core it's about modelling thought processes (N) and language (L) to try to identify a sequence of repeatable steps that will consistently achieve a desired result (P).

In essence it's a pretty good attempt at creating a functioning, logical, model of everything an Aspie doesn't intuitively understand.

Very clever of her to use Tumblr to comment on the acquisition. Now I am curious enough to get a Tumblr account and play with it.
I've seen a bunch of these noJQuery posts lately, but they've always focused on selectors. I'm curious what these people use for Ajax. Do they use the (very verbose) native syntax? Or are there any nice lighter weight libraries that separate out Ajax functionality into a readable abstraction like jQuery does?

Well yahoo has things to offer to the tumblr team - a lot of technical and scalability know how. I won't be surprised if they are able to shave operating costs a lot and utilize better the labor force.

The problem is that the valuable asset of tumblr are its users. And users are fickle bunch.
Tumblr is not a blogging platform, it is a social network. Tumblr revolves around the dashboard, it's much more Twitter than it is Wordpress.
I had the exact opposite opinion about posterous. I thought it was mainly built on hype and was quite popular inside eco chambers like HN community. There was very little if any user fueled, word-of-mouth growth. Also had had very little traffic when you compare it to tumblr.
I have not read about how the extradition was handled (counter-terrorism things that is, in which document is that?).

The three months wasn't strictly solitary as far as I can tell but it gets spun to all hell every time 'häkte' is mentioned so I don't know what is true or not. Somehow the fact that he can't get a graphical calculator is more important than what he is accused of. If that is not spin I don't know what is.

As for the lies to the media, denying lawyer etc; sources? There is so much newly released data so I don't know where to look to find it so an indication in the right direction would be helpful.

Lastly, the matter is political because anakata, and the others, allegedly released a lot of protected identities, hacked government related services as well as a bank. The identities are protected for a reason (police, domestic violence, witnesses and so forth). This is a very high profile case with influential interests on both sides (TPB/Wikileaks supporters on one side and Swedish govt/Nordea/Logica on the other), thus it appears on HN.

Edit: I forgot, if it is indeed the case that he has been treated in ways that are not up to scratch with what we expect from countries with respectable rule of law then that is of course worrying and will hopefully come to light during the trial, or afterwards.
You misunderstand what I wrote. I should perhaps have been more precise, as I can see that "solutions to problems" might be misunderstood. "Problems" in this context was referring to what people might have tried to prove, not the process they were trying to apply it to. The point being that there are plenty of processes where to prove specific outcomes is a problem that can be reformulated as finding a generic algorithm for solving the halting problem.

The most common variations are simply obfuscated variations where it is not clear that a sub-part of the process is turing complete, and where that sub-part can determine whether or not a specific state is reached.

Quite a lot of software have subsystems that turn out to be Turing complete, whether through the explicit inclusion of scripting support, or through more convoluted means.

I don't think its fair to compare Yahoo! under different CEO. They all had different goals and roadmap. The current Yahoo seems to be going towards another direction than its immediate predecessors.
She's got a great sense of humour. Love the missing "e" in "mayr".
Disagree, Tumblr won because it of it's underlying attitude and commitment to creativity. Posterous never had that edge to it. I engaged with both platforms, and Tumblr, quite simply, felt cooler and fresher.

XSS. This is a side-effect of XSS. If you can not insert your script into the users browser you can't do anything. And if you are able to XSS you can do more than just scrap the password.
There's always a bit of luck involved in these things that escapes reason. I seem to recall that at some point the landing page of Posterous was considerably more cluttered than the LP of Tumblr, and that kinda gave me the impression Tumblr was the simpler product, but I never really used either of them.

Kinda reminds me when Kraft was about to acquire Cadbury there were thousands (Ok not literally but there was quite a bit of noise) of facebook groups saying that this shouldn't happen because "the chocolate will taste like dairylea cheese" as if Toblerone wasn't a thing that Kraft made.

It's funny how when there's news of a company acquiring another people think straight away that it'll change drastically and overnight, making the huge assumption that the company is A) going to change anything B) doesn't know that changing something will break trust with users making their billion dollar purchase useless.

Or maybe Yahoo will change things on tumblr who knows? I'd like Yahoo to add a feature to change your primary blog on tumblr. That would be nice to have..

How so ? Neither water-based, nor land-based dinosaurs are actually extinct. They've (mostly) shrunk a lot, yes, but that's about it. Location and size protected both kinds of dinosaurs, land-based or sea-based.

All birds are dinosaurs (in the same sense that humans are apes). Hell, you've probably eaten a dinosaur egg this week. And the water-based dinosaur descendants are very well known and the inspiration for how dinosaurs now look in musea, the crocodiles, when we're not actually sure whether crocs or chickens looked more like land based dinosaurs.

http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/Dinosaurs-Livin...

Large animals go extinct on a regular basis. The reason animals become big is for efficiency, and so often a prelude to extinction (of that particular branch). A rat is much more efficient (work/energy) than an insect. A cat is (a lot) more efficient than a rat or a mouse. Cows and other large mammals are unbeatable when it comes to the amount of energy a kilogram of cow tissue requires to stay alive. But there's usually a reason animals become efficient, and that reason is that their methods of gathering energy are actually becoming unusable, and so energy available to the species is lowering. So the species reduces in numbers, and the physical size of individuals grows. Increased efficiency only happens out of necessity, and if it can't turn the tide, the next step is extinction ... And yes, humans definitely count as large animals. I wonder if we're an exception.
TBH, I would guess that "brogrammers" actually comprise a very small number of trade show perpetrators due to the fact that they may generally have more social access to women outside of the work place. Many of the geeks I meet were and are socially very awkward people, social ineptness is (sometimes) correlated with ineptness in interacting with women. I would say (again, a guess) a "brogrammer" has less interest in sexually assaulting a woman at a trade show then a sexually deprived and socially inept geek does; you'll find brogrammers at bars and clubs where it seems the lewd treatment of women that aren't aware of their bodies due to drugs and alcohol is the norm.

Mind you, I'm not nearly saying all geeks are like this - I consider myself to be a reclusive geek but have the utmost respect for women and I have yet to meet another programmer that hasn't shared that mentality with me. (it makes me sad when so many trolls come out to bash - whether justified or not, it isn't a civilized conversation)

It's not necessarily intended to get him alone - in fact they might intentionally want to avoid full isolation because it is massively problematic not just because of space but because of the dramatic mental health issues it can cause (have a look at the amount of mental health problems at the Supermax prisons). Note the restrictions on showering, and presumably there's lots of other restrictions on access to recreational facilities etc.. Could be abusive enough even before they decide to withdraw the last shred of human contact.

Though you might very well be right.

This kind of cooperation has immense short-term benefits, that's why countries and companies do it. Of course, over the long term, there is a hefty price and part of that price is that this behavior not only continues but gets amplified over time.

This happens because the parties in question are allowed to get away with murder, sometimes literally, and there are no repercussions. Over time this can lead to a profound imbalance of power like in the US-vs-China relationship - but sometimes insane destructive acts on both sides can even out as observed in Apple-vs-Samsung.

genuine question: how do you eat 40% protein?

say you need 2700 calories on a workout day => 1080 protein calories => 250g of protein per day. that's more than 1kg of lean meat/fish a day?
I'm a pretty good cook, and when I was a single guy, I assure you my excess of body fat came from some of my awesome home cooking rather than TV dinners. The biggest problem is everything being oriented around "family size" being 4+ but actual real world sitting at the table tonight and eating probably averages about 2 on long term average due to other committments etc. There are four members of my immediate family but tonight I eat dinner alone, and I need a individual portion size not "family size".
