William Phillips won the 1997 prize in physics while at NIST. I had the honor of having lunch with him when he came back to his undergraduate alma mater for a visit a few years later. It was probably the most interesting lunch discussions I've ever been a part of.

All four of the NIST Nobel luareates won for the work they've done in laser cooling for the atomic clocks.
Agreed with the sentiment here. Looks like a (non-designer) developer read up on some flat UI blog posts and did his/her best.

Not the worst showing, but certainly not "really good looking."
Everything said in the post is easy to conclude if you learn a little bit about negotiation and understand some more niche things like how to valuate shares of a company.

I've heard it's mostly taxes/tariffs on imported sugar that make it this way; most of the rest of the world, sugar cane is cheaper than HFCS, so they use sugar cane.
I haven't written any Elm but having written some Haskell I can say it's surprising how often you _don't_ need a debugger in a functional language. I doubt Elm not having a debugger is as difficult as, for instance, Javascript or Coffeescript not having a debugger would be.

It had the word "contrite"

There were plenty of exploits you could have done, without having local access to my machine.
Just one example- If you view my profile, you can determine the company I work for.
Use linked/etc to message someone there, and offer to split my generous reward with them, if they tell you the word.

Just because no one took me up on my offer doesn't mean my sticky-note was secure.

Yes, of course it was a silly "contest", but that's the point -
Contests like this don't prove anything at all about how strong or weak your solution is.

Apple Goes Back to the Future
At $25 per picture there must be 40 000 people as excited as you for this project to get funded. I just don't see how is that going to be even remotely possible.
Given that you didn’t actually read the page, I gather you didn’t mean to mislead. By casting doubt over the offer and then plugging a competing product it came across as such.

I guess I was cut by Hanlon’s razor once more.
Or perhaps due to differences in the way you deliberately practice?
This is one of the worst analogies I have even been exposed too. It is a straightforward issue, we don't need an analogy to grasp it, it was almost explicitly designed to muddy the waters.

It did a good job of hiding circle reasoning, logical fallacies and other failures of critical thinking.

EDIT: I do believe there is a real issue around gender in both the technology and nursing industries. This article just adds nothing to the conversation.

No. If you are ambitious and confident in your abilities you will take on any challenges on the way to your goal, not take the easy way out by avoiding competition. That is what successful people (including successful women) actually do.
Assuming this is where they stop, and they don't build a system for purchasing time later on...
Interestingly, this is how I was always taught to think of numbers. Beads on a stick represent all numbers. 1 bead is 1. A ten is therefore a stick with 10 beads on it. A hundred is 10 tens (in a square). A thousand is 10 hundreds stacked on top of each other (or 10 "10 tens" in a cube).

This really made it simple to think of things like carrying (oh, that's just breaking the wire holding the beads together) and squaring/rooting (since 100 was a square of 10 it was trivial). It provided an interesting method of multiplication too (simply align two numbers orthogonally and fill in the grid). I still think in terms of this now.

Incidentally, when I learned Japanese many years later it felt more natural than saying twenty-two or the abomination that is seventeen.
When one thinks of "power house" national labs NIST is the first thing that springs into people's mind.
Lol, nothing wrong with you. Just not used to it.
In your script, you have:

> Then, this is the most important part: they need to speak next. You have to be silent until they respond. They will give you one of three responses:

At which point you list the three responses. But the most common (in my experience) response is missing: "Okay, what were you thinking for salary?".

I felt the article missed the employer's BATNA though. If they loved you and your unusual skillset and their offer is well below market rate, you're in a much stronger position to negotiate than if they narrowly favoured you for a position they're not going to find difficult to fill, in which case they might be quite happy to suggest you walk away and work for BigCorp and their 30% extra perks package.
No need to setup a clone website or to obtain a valid SSL certificate.

If I'm in a position to observe a notecrypt users's communication (the reason encryption is necessary), I can just run sslstrip (no SSL certificate required).

It will transparently intercept all of the notecrypt users's plaintext communication to notecrypt without generating any browser warnings.

At that point I also have the opportunity to modify any of the plaintext traffic as it passes by.

The user will be communicating with your actual website (no need to setup a clone), but I can just modify the JS as it is transmitted to the user so that it doesn't actually encrypt anything.

This attack just requires running a single command, no complex setup required. You might want to read more about sslstrip to understand how this works.
Perhaps you'd be happier going back to AOL or Hotmail?

I don't understand the negativity around change. If they never changed, people would complain that they are in a rut, that they don't innovate, etc.

I'd be happy just with AO-40 redux, or a fleet of FM ez sats. Or maybe the mythical mars sat.
Many schools, at least in the US, frown upon students earning a second BS/BA. I tried and was basically told by an admissions counselor that I probably wouldn't be accepted. I was welcome to apply for a master's degree and take any undergraduate courses I needed once I had been provisionally accepted into that program, however. But I wouldn't have earned a BS. I suspect that this might have to do with financial aid rules, but I'm really not sure.

I ended up taking some post-bac courses at the university I'd gone to for my BA then going directly into an MS program.

Analogies aren't used to prove things; they're used to explain things. You expect too much from a single post.
1. I don't see how any of these threat models can't be addressed by doing server-side crypto. Server-side crypto libraries are more mature, more reviewed, and thus by default better from a security standpoint.

2. The client side code is obfuscated. The server-side code is not provided. To perform a reasonable analysis of a system's security, a reviewer needs unobfuscated access to both. Why would you try and make security and crypto researchers de-obfuscate or guess your code, when that is not their specialization?
- Check signature of the incoming JavaScript against known good versions.

- Check the signature of the HTML page against known good versions.

- Check that the information posted back to the server 'looks encrypted' vs. plaintext[1].

- Check the external resources that the page is requesting. Is it grabbing Javascript files that are unexpected (e.g. trying to serve up a known-good version of crypto.js, but then overwrite its methods with another Javascript file).

I'm not sure if many of these things would be possible in Chrome/Chromium, but probably in Firefox.

[1] Obviously 'looking encrypted' isn't some sort of binary decision, but I'm guessing there is some amount of checking you could do to see how closely it resembles random noise. If you sent random noise, and it wasn't encrypted, it would probably pass this check, but most people trying to protect something are probably sending something that won't trip this 'alarm.' This is not fool-proof, but adds a layer of protection when used with other things.
It's not just the UI, the interesting part is the categories. People have been trying to do clustering/categories for 15 years, and the results have usually been laughably bad!

When you have categories, you can present diverse results (maybe I wanted apple recipes when I typed Apple?) and you can avoid query reformulation when a query turns out to be overly generic.

Here's an example:

https://blekko.com/#?q=hearing%20loss

Now I don't know if you're interested in alternative medicine or not -- and we've got those results separated so you can either read or ignore them.

You'll probably wonder why we have both health and hearing in this result. The hearing category is websites dedicated to hearing, while health contains more generic health websites.

All of this doesn't work perfectly -- the [Arrested Development] movie/tv example is a good example of how we go wrong sometimes.
You mean like QuickCheck? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickCheck
Why You Should Start Marketing Before Writing Any Single Line Of Code
My experience throughout my entire career is that the many females I have worked with could have done anything with their lives, perhaps law or medicine, but chose software engineering/design. I was in school before the Internet bubble popped, and there were tons of women in my courses because there was a ton of money to be made. That precipitously dropped off after the crash.

The majority of men I have worked with, when asked, can't see themselves doing anything else. I have met exactly one woman in my life who has said anything like this to me.

The best programmer I ever knew was an Indian woman. I worked with her for six years. She became pregnant and was a stay-at-home mother for a few years, no doubt in my mind she gave that 100% too. Now she is doing something related to the legal profession and is doing quite well. It is the industry's loss, and will probably be chalked up to sexism when it is included in aggregate numbers. But in the end I believe it's because she had a wide array of options for conventional salary work, and chose something that gave her more money and more social prestige.
i think article is just wrong as it is. Maybe because I'm on the other side hiring engineers. But we don't negotiate salaries. Two factors: what makes you happy/enough (do not think about your salary but about your challenges) and what can we expect from you. I don't care how much money you would make at an other company, because you want to join our company. The first part is very personal. People having mortgage and two kids just overvalue themselves. Immigrants in US (and I guess everywhere) just don't need as much money as they don't see the neighbour's grass.
A delay between submission and unlocking comments stifles praise just as much as it stifles dissent.

> The idea of the tax man as a thief in the night is just silly.

Oh, really? Instead of argument by assertion, let's try an idea.

Your neighbor comes and takes your bicycle without your permission and won't give it back. Theft? Sure.

Your neighbor comes in with one of his friends, and they take your bike together, same circumstance. Theft? Sure.

Your neighbor comes in with 2 of his friends, 3, 4, etc. At what point is it no longer theft? 51%, you say? What magically happened at that point? I say nothing: theft is still theft, irrespective of the claims of the majority.
You won't need any SSL. A user's typical first interaction with notecrypt will be through http://notecrypt.appspot.com (which just needs to evil reverse proxy to the actual site or an emulation, while backdooring the javascript to send the password somewhere).

The client never sees any SSL.
I'd say name a number or range 15-25% above the offer. Or even just "I was hoping for 15-20% more." Thanks, I'll add this.

The point is just to ask for what you want. Often people will give it to you just for asking. It took me a long time to figure this out!

The 4 ways to Break into Product Management
Then why would you say his plans are too cheap?
Used to have 2 (old one, and pop out), now it has 2 (new one and pop out). (there is also the look for reply, and for chatting (which i use even if other is offline sometimes instead of a quick email), and the ability to revert to the old look)

By this logic, the old one is at least as fascist. Additionally, while you might not like the new style, "real" feature was removed, but the ability to write multiple emails at once, or write one while one is open, were added.

Edit: I just tried to old one to see it again. It is rather bulky. It needed a UI update of some kind at least. (which may have been accomplished not semi-popped out, i guess)
Here's what I saw when I clicked the link: http://i.imgur.com/69nIXh9.png

My first thought was "minimalism is one thing, but this is taking it a bit far". Then I realized they had actually designed a search engine UI (which is fundamentally a text box and a button) that requires Javascript.
Facebook Launches Verified Accounts

"Top" here is relative to one's profession.

And I don't understand why one gives up the right to complain about a rigged game simply because one declines to play the game.

For example, I know people who won't work at Google because they think the promotions system there is a terrible one. They can still complain about it, even though they chose to work elsewhere, because it's something that's keeping them from working at Google.
Does this mean another two weeks of clicking away popups informing me of new features for every damn Google Apps account I have? Oh great.
Why not—what happened?
The opposite is true. I don't need to know anything more about this feature to conclude: 1. it's anti-useful for me and 2. while it may be useful for some, it is another clear step toward throwing in the towel on e-mail as a platform for serious discourse.

Nor do I agree that execution trumps ideas. Both are necessary and insufficient for success, but execution is far easier to commoditize. Those who can't judge good ideas from bad attribute everything to execution, of course. Those who can see the failure of the cult of execution all around. Even Google is abandoning 'see what sticks' in favor of Apple's ideas-directed approach.

What I see growing on HN "these days" is the notion that comments must be either positive or negative, and that they shouldn't be negative. I prefer comments, however imperfect, which strive for the truth.
I think a lot of ambitious people would rather get the top spot in medicine than hit a glass ceiling in engineering.
I would agree with that. I would guess the initial draw was developing the iOS app and the web app, and the fun image of being an editor. Except that being an editor was a lot of work, without that much fun parts. So he outsourced the editing, but now all that was left was the business side, like writing checks, and that is not fun at all. And the apps are done, so no fun there.
It's just new and you're not used to it. There's nothing wrong with finding new and different syntax confusing, as long as you're willing to keep an open mind.

If you use it for a while, you'll get used to it. After a while, I've found it makes the most sense. I think it's better because it reduces the amount of syntactic noise in the code.

It's a simple design decision. Function application is the most important part of the language. So it gets the best syntax: none.
> That is correct, but which species before humans has caused so much change to the environment in such a short time?

None. And I don't think mankind should hold itself back due to the other "species" lack of initiative.

The complaints are not about change in general, but about changes that are simultaneously negative and inescapable. If a new version is better, then great -- but if it is worse and you cannot continue to use the old version, you have every right to complain. I avoid being dependent on web apps for this very reason: I like to be able to downgrade when necessary.

I did not answer this survey, for the following two reasons:

- there are a lot of open-ended questions. It's probably very long to fill in.

- required full name and email are a showstopper for me. Having a required email is ok of course, but why do you make it required ? And what about the full name ?

I believe that lots of people will share these concerns so I hope that it can help you tune your survey so that it's more successful.

It's not a matter of "taking the easy way out." It's a matter of strategically setting yourself up for success.

Just because GMail is still better than AOL or Hotmail doesn't mean I agree with the direction it (and Google as a whole when related to Google+ is concerned) is going in.

To be clear, I would be fairly optimistic for the "new Inbox" if it weren't for the new GChat interface which worsened my user experience to add a feature, Google+ integration, I don't necessarily want.
Treating new employees in this manner is okay if everyone's up front about it.

Telling people "Welcome to Facebook," having them quit their old job, and have them relocate just so you can smoke 'em and throw out the trash might be efficient, but it sure isn't kind.

um, yes, dave, i quite well understand that it is your users
who are moving you toward using fargo as a writing-tool, and
that's precisely why i said i hope that they succeed with it,
so i can learn from _them_ how to make such a dual focus work.

why i'm not interested in your effort to tell me what you think).

what matters is whether people can show me a way to make it work.
