"leafy greens"

Big corporations can make lots of money selling expensive salad dressings if I'm convinced to buy icky tasteless styrofoam iceberg lettuce. Therefore the intense push to get people to eat veg/fruit in the form of salad. "They" might not be selling profitable wheat flour in the form of twinkies anymore, but "they" are selling salad dressing for about the same cost per pound as chicken/beef (depending on dressing and meat cut, etc), gross fake bacon bits, etc.

I occasionally eat salads but eventually I get burned out on the salad dressings (there really aren't that many) and stop for awhile.

The most revolutionary thing you can do is just eat an apple or gnaw on a carrot or bake a potato. No dips or crusts or toppings or any other profit centers. Assuming you already have enough fiber in your diet, run your veg thru a juicer. That really pisses "them" off.
So what you saying is, going to prison (for a non-tech related crime) is a good way to become a (better) programmer. No distractions, very clear time schedule, no distraction by everyday bs etc.
A portion of the recent disdain / negativity seems to come from the recent cull of work from home employees and statements regarding the value of working from an office to Yahoo, there was quite a bit of anger directed at Mayer for that.
Kurt's Kerbal Space Program videos are awesome too.

Oh yeah, and Kerbal Space Program is something that could get your kids interested in space and science, perhaps not as young kids as Minecraft appeals to but perhaps a ten year old could be interested. KSP is family friendly too, with the exception of the occasional little green men dying in a horrible solid rocket booster accident or a high velocity impact with a celestial body.
Maybe because people have been eating wheat based products for the whole extent of human history without having health issues ?

I hate the words "empty calories". It's an oxymoron. Calories cannot be "empty", they are fuel for the body, they always have been.

Only years of fad-diets and food industry advertising could have turned a staple of human evolution as bread as something "evil".

> if they stick to their guns and simply improve Tumblr without lowering its value to the community, I can see a real future for Yahoo, one where it isn't just irrelevant, but where it makes it's own products and creates new and exciting applications.

I fail to see the connection between the acquisition of Tumblr and your vision of Yahoo suddenly becoming able to create new and exciting applications on its own as a consequence.

According to Wikipedia, Yahoo's main source of revenue is search and display advertising (by far). By purchasing web sites without any business model and trying to monetise their traffic, they remove value from these sites (for the user) and add nothing that these sites couldn't have done by themselves, in exchange for huge amounts of cash that could instead be spent on developing those "new and exciting applications".

They might get some value out of the talent they are acquiring with Tumblr on the long run, but I doubt that it'll be worth that much.
We will operate Tumblr independently.

This might be the way for Yahoo to succeed - operate as a holding company, plus optionally provide core services (identity management) to their independent properties.

I reckon I'm old school when it comes to business - a business is not a business unless it's generating profit.

Perhaps in some first world countries it's feasible to do startups, but most people don't have the luxury. Most people I know start their businesses while working full time and only transition once the profitability satisfies their needs. Hence for them at least, it's always profitability first and then sustainability, followed by growth.

The connection is that success tends to beget success, Tumblr will give them a great platform to build their own cool applications on top of.

Honestly, I don't believe this is a 'Buy Tumblr and stick an advert in every <div>' deal, it just doesn't make sense, they know from experience it will destroy the ecosystem of Tumblr. It would make so much more sense to integrate Tumblr with their own products and build on top of it.

> Is it really worth the cost of imprisoning people for non-violent crimes?

Are you suggesting they should go unpunished?

> It doesn't appear to deter people from committing crimes.

The suggestion that the threat of imprisonment does not act as a deterrent to criminal activity is absurd.

> It certainly doesn't help criminals rehabilitate and become productive members of society.

Ask HN: Best resource for learning social media marketing?
I, like many hackers, I think, am not a social-media-diva. But I've got a product and a shoe-string budget, so I feel strongly I should learn to use the resources.

I only recently even realized there was any cleverness to any of the techniques. Previously I had rather thought it was (a)make more friends on facebook (b)get some twitter followers -easier said than done without huge time investment (c) ask them to "Like", "Review", etc.

I've learned a few more things, but the blogs and resources are disparate, so I'm hoping there is a "Seth Godin of social"
Nor do I. I think it's a combination of things, habits formed from playing games late as a kid is one, but I think that wanting to solve a problem enough to stay up late for it is another. As is a natural procrastinating spirit that many developers have. I get my best work done between 12pm-2am because I finally STOP INTERRUPTING MYSELF. When it's just me finishing that user story that's standing between myself and sleep, I tend to stop going on reddit.
we all those "customers" in the real world
+1 for Editplus. And all the others I use :)
It is definitely both. Tumblr replaced WP for me.

I have 12 blogs on Tumblr (and counting), almost all of which I post to frequently - and the only thing I ever use the dashboard for is to make those posts. The only social action I have ever taken was to reblog a recent post I found on reddit, mostly just to see what would happen.
I feel this would be quite confusing for an average programmer. It is more like a cheat sheet for people who have some statistical training but always have to look the formulas up because they don't use them frequently enough. For an average programmer, really understanding how linear regression works and some basic linear algebra would be a good start. A lot of programmers have trouble even with these "simple" topics.

Most of these formulas are very rarely used even by quantitative analysts. The most used are for standard deviation and regression. The more complicated ones are generally used as a part of statistical routines, say, in R. It is very rare that someone has to code them.

> From a statistical point of view, 5 events is
> indistinguishable from 7 events.
What is this supposed to mean? There is a concept of statistical significance but if an effect is not statistically significant it does not follow that it does not exist. Btw where is the Bayes formula? :)

Intro to Express.js: Parameters, Error Handling and Other Middleware | webapplog
Well that's the issue: I want to distinguish otherwise-identical trees in which certain particular node cases are either allowed or disallowed. In Haskell, AFAIK, that's hard. In Scala, it just requires copying your code over and over again, but it's possible and you can even share some of the code.

The other solution I'm thinking of in Scala (that doesn't involve Option[T].get, I mean) is to treat the properties I want "proven" as a set of methods over the data, built as a separate object or trait similar to how Scala represents type-class dictionaries. I can then write one data-structure that quantifies over the type of the proof-witness dictionary it stores as part of itself.

So when, for example, I want a fully-instantiated AST with no remaining "holes" to be filled in by static checking, I could write a function that only works on AST[FullyInstantiated]. Functions that don't care about the proof-witness are quantified over it.

It then takes a bunch of extra typing to construct the proof-witness instances, but when I'm doing that construction I will have the compiler statically checking that all types relied on by the witness are correct.
Not at all. What everyone does when they're inside, really depends on their own character. Some people work out, others read, become overly religious, study commodities (and trade from inside).

I wrote code to keep to myself, to distract me from missing my fiance and kids...and what else could I do when I got out, I lost my honor.

I think his focus on using technology to solve problems will be a game changer. In 20 years, we will all be thankful to Bill Gates for solving problems which has been haunting civilization for a long time.

To address your point about education, he is an active supporter of Khan Academy. I think it's better for him to pick something like Khan Academy and give him all the financial support and attach other areas where there are not enough smart people working on to solve hard problems.
Have you tried Asana? It's amazing. (Disclaimer: I don't work for them or know anyone who is in any way affiliated with them. Just a happy customer)
How do you quantify "a lot"? A number larger than zero, or even in the thousands, does not necessarily make that a large share or a majority of users.
To be clear, I'm not just word-playing.

Will Yahoo smother Tumblr with integration projects like single sign-in, leaving insufficient resources to do anything new? Or will it be benign neglect? Or will they actually invest in it as a social platform (instead of as a database like they did with Flickr)?

With new CEO, hopefully bad history won't repeat.
Oh I didn't necessarily mean the women I've worked with in the past had to be at a higher than average standard or hugely dedicated to stay in the industry. I've worked with a whole spectrum of abilities of both men and women.

I was more implying that the guys that felt the need to belittle women were usually pretty damn awful themselves.

HN has had an anti=Yahoo bias for a long time; the reasoning behind the bias keep changing ("layoffs", "delicious", "WFH", etc.), but it always seems to be there.

| That has translated into six-figure salaries and over-the-top

Really? Maybe I'm just running with the 'wrong' circles to see this, but I don't think that the industry is quite as bad as Wall Street. In Wall Street it's in-grained in the culture, and unofficially encouraged by upper management (especially the lavish lifestyle part, because then you always are dependent on staying with the company and competing for that next $1 million bonus).
Turnaround: Marissa Mayer's First 300 Days As Yahoo's CEO

If you work really hard on making a quality podcast that gives value to a target audience, I promise you you'll never have to ask for sponsorship. People will knock on your door, money in fist.

At that point, you may even choose not to because your built-up audience will buy from you.

That said, there is no harm in trying. There may be takers. The only problem is that if there are a lot of takers, HN could be overrun with this sort of stuff.

I wish you success!
Yeah, there were some technical difficulties.

This is the go after the ammo strategy (gun control reference). The Feds could never literally stop Bitcoin, but they can endlessly assault the Bitcoin network via the global banking infrastructure that Bitcoin requires to function properly (currency exchanges, bank transfers and wires, and so on). In doing so they'll drive up the cost of the Bitcoin network to the end users, making it less appealing.

There are serious problems with the way this story is reported. It relies primarily on Tweets, and the author made no effort to contact officials for comment.

Having worked as an investigative journalist, I know that most authors hold themselves to finding at least three solid sources. If that's impossible to do for a given article, the author should either hold off on the lead until it matures or give the reader a firm caveat that what he or she is reading might be speculative.

While all of that seems to be sound advice, i probably never have to worry about having such obscene amounts of money ;)
That's a strange and interesting theory. I can think of a few anecdotal places where this is the case, but I wonder if anyone has done a study of porn as a predictor of platform success/failure...

Edit: Just thinking about the business of porn, this is probably a decent heuristic for simplicity and cost effectiveness. Porn is usually very low budget (compared to other mass market media), with a very high volume of consumers. From my experience in non-profit oceanographic research, nothing focuses an engineering effort like trying to succeed on a shoestring budget (wow, I never thought that'd compare to working in the porn industry).
So, I suspect the reason Gruber etc. get that kind of money is that they have a very large number of readers (because of their content) and that there's a power law at work and that your blog is worth next-to-nothing.

To give you some figures from jgc.org:

On May 13, 2010 I added a link to every blog post taking readers to Amazon.com to buy my book. Since then I have had 2,699,126 page views and 14,191 clicks on the link resulting in total money to me of $560.59.

So three years at 75,000 page views a month worked out to $15 a month.

Gruber is getting 5 million page views a month (66x jgc.org) and getting $37,000 (2,500x jgc.org).

Yes, I could probably monetize jgc.org better, but what I'd really need is page views.

They care. They care very much. But, they want the fix to be easy and convenient. Therefore, what we get are foods that people _think_ are healthier, but actually aren't. Why do they think they are healthier? Because producers and advertisers convince them of such. (Think whole-wheat/grain pasta.) The reality is that the truly healthiest food options are also the least-processed. But that reality doesn't sell because it requires too much effort and "sacrifice" on the part of the consumer.

Everyone, always: If you make websites on a super fast connection, get a proxy (or VM) to simulate a slow connection...! You will learn a lot of things which will become easy habits quickly, and then you can turn off the proxy (turn it on again occasionally).
In most cases I am sure it is obvious.

If there is 0 F outside, snow, dark, icy sidewalks and you are going outside acting like it is summer and you fall down it is your own fault and nobody except you is liable for that. I think we agree here.

I can only talk about the German court system in detail but usually cases where somebody breaks his arm because of an icy sidewalk do not even end up in a court room. For a sidewalk to be icy it has to be cold. If you are going outside, it is cold and your are acting like it is summer (even without snow, it being dark, ...) you are the one who fell and nobody is liable for that. It is common knowledge that you should be careful.

This is at least how it works in Germany and in many countries in Europe.
