I was startled by the mention of Aamir Khan (who I first learned about by watching the movie Three Idiots) until I did some looking up. I see that Khan is now a social activist, and he has recently been designated a program "ambassador" by UNESCO. Khan apparently cares about his country and its problems, and is using his star power to promote change.

There is a lot of medical care available (I think "stay on Tricare", etc.) with less hassle. Most of the disability claims are for ongoing cash payments to replace job income, which is more at risk of fraud (and in some cases genuinely uncertain and requiring investigation).
It's based off the Nitrogen Erlang framework, but it's not clear to me why that framework was named Nitrogen, either.
Since I am in marketing and web development, I go through all of their online assets and their front-end code/design.

So far, this technique has gotten me 3 good paying jobs, because I'm not trying to please them in the interview, I'm trying to show them how I can help them become a more successful company. Plus you win the high ground. You just have to do it in a constructive and respectful way.
Yes, but the code is still pre-processed before it is executed by anywhere.

edit: The fact that the pre-processing library is 300kb uncompressed is a pretty huge deterrent.
As an espresso drinker, I found the "little 14-ounce mug" funny. That said, I don't really feel their effects, even if I take an extra shot. Sleeping definitively works, though.
I don't think it's weird at all. In fact, I think it's normal given their history of only embracing technology that is ready and able to provide (in their opinion) a great user experience; If they can't see a way to do it well, they won't do it.
A Facebook & Instagram collaboration. fwiw
I can see how this might get out of hand quickly.
Lots of people have been Stratfor clients, it's a useful service for many people. To clarify, Stratfor wasn't aggressing against "hackers" in any way. If lulzsec decided to attack the Economist and the judge's spouse was subscribed to the Economist, well, lots of people subscribe to the Economist...
You will probably get a bit more. The worst case is pretty much that they respond "take it or leave it". You will almost never get rejected for negotiating-the company has invested a lot in getting to the point where they made the offer, and would really like to close.

(Of course, saying "130k and we have a deal" is a pretty terrible way to negotiate. See patio11's blog at kalzumeus.com or Ramit Sethi's book for a substantially better approach to negotiating compensation.)
In addition to rent, there are high taxes on income (making $150 for 10 years means you pay higher taxes than if you made $75k for 20 years, particularly if your $150k is earned in California vs. $75k in Texas), and other high cost of living issues.
Visualizing the news with Vivagraph.js
He links to The Oatmeal in "illustration".
Even unlikable people deserve a fair trial. It's a bit strange that anyone with a close connection to this person would be allowed to be a judge. I'm not a lawyer, but aren't they supposed to be impartial, and prior experience with a person / friendship / enemy status makes that not the case?

All of that said, I suppose it is allowed for the same judge to see the same defendant over and over again, so perhaps I'm wrong here.
The main problem with the analogy is that it presumes its own conclusions. This isn't usually a big problem for analogies since they're not supposed to be the core of an argument, but in this case the full post is one big analogy, so it doesn't really hold up.
If that's the case (I don't have the option to enable the new inbox yet) it's a shame.

A combination of tabbed, filtered content and "unread first" would be a sweet spot as I'd quite fancy being able to prioritise unread email by subject matter without being inundated with those promo emails I'm not quite motivated to set "mark as read" or "junk" filters for.
The word "illustration" in the sentence above it does link to the The Oatmeal, but you're right it should probably be clearer.
First impression is that this is a lot like their PHP language extension XHP[1], which allows you to embed XML syntax into PHP and automatically escapes variables depending on their context (inside or outside the XML):

<?php
// note: includes omitted
if ($_POST['name']) {
echo <span>Hello, {$_POST['name']}</span>;
} else {
echo
<form method="post">
What is your name?<br />
<input type="text" name="name" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>;
}

in that snippet, the $_POST variable is correctly escaped to mitigate XSS attacks. XHP also allows you to condense complex components into a single tag.

I agree. As a hiring manager, credentials like BS/MS (and GPA) can be helpful, but truly are low value compared to what you have learnt.

Their knowledge, problem solving skills, 'soft skills' and ability to quickly learn areas they have gaps in are what make them effective. How they acquired them and 'prove' them are all I care about. Part of the onus on me is to tease that out in my short-listing process and interviews and part of the onus is on them making it easier for me to see it so they jump out for me as quickly as possible.
I used to think that coffee made me more productive, then I realized that coffee just makes me too hyper to concentrate. Now, when I want to focus, I either drink ice water or decaf chai tea.

And alcohol? Forget, I can't focus on anything code related after even one drink. I have no Ballmer's peak.

This is just for making development easy. We have a prebuild step that will do this ahead of time. Just do:

npm install -g react-tools

and you'll have a jsx command available. We cover this towards the bottom of this page: http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/getting-started.html
This article makes me feel like I'm sitting around watching people snort Extremis.
You can also process it offline, so you only ship standard JS. The in-browser processing is an option you can choose to use at development time if you find it quicker/simpler.
There was also the previous design change as you note, which I hated enough to install Minimalist to change the appearance. By now my Gmail looks nothing like the standard Gmail.

This (incorrect assumptions leading to frustration) is definitely the most troubling thing to me about automagic solutions. I'm currently working on a project that incorporates this idea of sorting email into contexts (http://solnovus.com, not much info up as of yet), so we've been thinking a lot about this problem specifically.

We are working in user-defined contexts from day one (not all users fit into the 5-context model), but I think incorrect classification is the most important issue to address to minimize user frustration. We are approaching it by treating topic and context membership fuzzily and using graph visualization to aid in traversal of inexact queries.

I couldn't agree with you more: there are serious problems with binary membership and "automatic" filtering.

"The world needs beauty in it, and if people choose to support the arts in a way from which we all benefit, that's great."

Try to explain why the world needs beauty to the folks of the slums of Mumbai and how this beauty will benefit them. I would imagine that the only beauty that they could find is a hope that their children will get out of the slums and live a more fortunate life than there are now.

I always find it strange that to raise money for charity, sometimes an event (ball, art auction, concert etc) is needed to generate the donations. Why not just short cut the event and just collect the donations?
Out of curiosity, what brought you to HN? While not riding the tech train professionally, have you considered investing in or starting any products?
I think it would help if you laid out why you're better/worse than some of the libraries already out there? That would make a great section on your site, and would set you apart

TFA has coffee as being bad for creative thought and good for doing stupid things fast. I would bet that the various effects are bi- or n-modal. For me, it's GREAT for creative thought and pretty bad when it comes time to get things done, since I don't focus as well. It took me at least a decade to realize I was being less productive because I was enjoying the amped-up feeling from the caffeine.
Exactly. I think what many people here want is a lifestyle business that would allow them to pay the bills, hack on cool stuff, and wear the label of entrepreneur/self-employed.

I'm thinking of writing a small book on how to do just that. I haven't done it (become successfully self-employed) yet myself (not completely, anyway) but I could interview others who have and glean learnings from them. Would that be of interest to y'all? :)
Can we get a (2012) added to the title? This is old.

The problem is on the medical records DOD uses AHLTA and the quality of records in AHLTA is highly variable. They focus much more on proving immediate care vs. great quality records, both due to the environment where a lot of the care happens and because they're not billing for it.

There are also about 5 levels of bureaucracy to manage a single system within DOD. VA is amazing in comparison (it was really telling talking to doctors who had civilian jobs in the VA but were military reservists and working temporarily in military hospitals...)

Medical records aren't sufficient to make a determination of disability, though, which is mainly what this is about. Having the medical records helps, having personnel records helps.

Another problem is the VA for a long time was focused on long-term care for WW2/Korea elderly vets, and various mentally/physically disabled Vietnam vets. The population of seriously injured younger vets (who could still work, and have long and otherwise productive lives ahead of them, but need specific disability care) is a pretty new thing. That, and the huge number of PTSD/TBI/psych issues.
Conversely, in 2010 I had to resort to issuing a court summons to Samsung (UK) before they finally relented and gave me a refund on the unwanted Windows OS that was bundled with my laptop.

It was annoying. Reading the headline, it appears that a similar annoyance is continuing even now.
Baudelaire - A modular Evernote-style system using Markdown files
I agree that it does slow down brute force attacks (I did say as much in my comment: looks like I was finishing up the edits to my comment while you were replying), but not substantially, particularly when the password is already weak. The salts themselves are stored in plaintext, so while it prevents the ability to use prior work on future passwords, weak passwords will be compromised just as fast as if there were no salt at all.
Obligatory: "Why not both?"

Many of my most productive hours that stand out in my memory were during binges of "four loko" back when it still had the caffeine (really the only upside of that beverage. Really horrifying stuff otherwise.) Somehow vodka/redbulls never really get me to the same place.
It would be nice to see a list of reasons one might choose this over angular or any of the other frameworks. The features and description on the homepage are pretty vague...
Stamp Ready, I like how you could only cite 2 lines out of 1,000. If I had 10K for every line of code I write, it'd be a millionaire. You should probably share the entire source if you are making this type of accusation.

Welcome to the hornet's nest. Slander is never the best option but judging from your tweets over the past 3 months, this is not your first time.
"Preska indicated that this personal connection to the Hammond case ‘would not effect her ability to be impartial"

They spell it out in the article itself and the judge herself addresses it.

That said, I completely misread the title. I thought the judge was married to someone that had tried this person before so there might be a bit of a vendetta there. I was clearly wrong.
Yep, just noticed. I clicked on that link originally, but it didn't load for some reason.
Exactly! To each few good "SEO" guys there's a plethora of scammers.

I think it's a great move for them and will help to win a more skeptical crowd. Although, I still don't trust them with or without "SEO" :)
Yes I do that when it's apparent that it's worth my time. When I come across a new technology which I don't really get the point of (like this one), I ask around first instead of wasting my time to go through viewing the source and stuff. That's what most people who respect their own time do.
>You posted your message because you said you wanted the discussion, and to see the flaws in your argument. But when people are answering you, you seem to be working hard to ignore them ;)

A civilized society doesn't rely on the generosity of philanthropists in order to take care of the most vulnerable among us. We all pay taxes to keep the rats off sister Nell.

How anyone (including the super-wealthy) choose to prioritize how they spend and give away their money, it absolutely is their choice. I personally think Bill Gates has done a better job than almost anyone.
Thank you for an excellent counterexample for when people claim code comments are useless.
I'm seeing a lot of "What Mr. Gates is doing is great BUT [insert negatives]".

Timing is everything. IMO, this is the perfect timing to start a mission such as the one Mr. Gates is. Why? Well having just been to India last year, my cousins were complaining about how India is filled with geniuses, yet very few who want to take risks (whether it be to help fix the poverty, the political system, or just start cool companies). A couple months after I got back from India (I live in the States), I was talking to my cousins and they were telling me how some cities in the south are really starting to embrace a tech culture and were trying to resemble that of Silicon Valley. And it's grown magnitudes since then; in fact, in recent months, there have been a lot of posts on HN about India's tech expansion.

So Mr. Gates says it well: "To make real progress on the problems of the poorest, you need at least two ingredients: a deep understanding of the problems, and the technical ability to solve them." He probably is going there to better understand some of the problems that exist, but I bet he also understands there are a lot more people there that can help solve these problems. He's a pretty smart guy, I trust he'll actually do good on his visit and it will be constructive to India and its people.
Indeed, that's the purported utility of Gmail: keep around every piece of information, so you never lose track of anything.

Does it work that well for you? How much email do you get on a daily basis?

(I work at a small software startup, SolNovus, that has been exploring this for a while, and for us, it doesn't seem to work that well in practice. Users can't always remember keywords for long-archived messages and have to resort to scanning pages of emails, even when tagged.)

Really, I think the ticket to having an inbox you don't have to organize is not to hide everything beneath the search box, however smart it may be. At some level, you need to incrementally generate queries, because the search will be imperfect. Things like search visualization methods that help incrementally refine queries, tied to more flexible and configurable machine learning, look promising.

He's making the case that when information is presented in a way that enables you to visualize and interact with it, then it makes it easier understand and develop intuition because you're better able to "explore it from every angle" (he's referencing Feynman here), and for that reason, it's a worthwhile endeavor.

"It's not quite true that Feynman could not accept an idea until he had torn it apart. Rather, the idea could not yet be part of his way of thinking and looking at the world. Before an idea could contribute to that worldview, Feynman wanted to turn over the idea, to see why it was true, from any angle that he could find" (http://www.freakonomics.com/2011/04/08/how-richard-feynman-t...).

If you've only read this blog post, watch the two videos above, and see if you still have the same impression.
>You really don't need to have another job offer or a current job to negotiate.

No, but if I know that you don't have another option, I'm not going to be as willing to give up more.

A known secondary option puts pressure (sometimes, tremendous) on your negotiating partner. The absence of such an option does not. That's what the article is saying.
AngularJS is too cool for babies!
I agree, but don't forget that for the top-tier schools, a substantial fraction of their students come from families that are loaded.
How are they different from Facebook? They also have behavioral targeted advertisement.

[4] Is their an Entity (LLC, INC, etc) that is better than the other as far as personal liability concerns?
I don't think I ever stated anywhere that he doesn't deserve a fair trial--where did I say that I was against that idea? If we don't give him a fair trial, who is to say anyone else doesn't deserve one either?

I am not sure why you're trying to point out otherwise when referring to me.
Art is a pervasive part of all human cultures. To imply that people in the slums of Mumbai somehow can't appreciate beauty is to rob them of their humanity.

There's no reason why you can't support both hunger and arts charities.
> I'm firmly of the belief that for the top-tier schools they'd do better just having no tuition and making quarterly reminders of the value of their education, counting on getting it on the flipside from alumni donors down the road.

At least when I went to school 20+ years ago, the very top-tier private schools were very close to that, having large endowments and using them for both merit-based and need-based financial aid in grant form, so that most students paid substantially less than the nominal tuition, and quite a lot of students paid very little to no tuition (and often were subsidized for books and housing, too), such that for most students they were less expensive than nominally cheaper less-elite schools.
How does that make the analysis wrong? The very point that you make is mentioned as a likely reason. The rest of the conclusion is that we need to do more testing to get any definitive answer.

I'd really like a picture of Bill G shaking hands with someone who is basically starving in India. It'd be a picture of the richest person in the world standing with the poorest person in the world, and it'd be a cool testament to the inherent complexity of life.
