Just saw this checkbox in the Voice settings. It definitely wasn't there when I first started using Voice back in the beta.
Thanks for the useful tool! Email addresses are not secrets, and I can't count the hours I've wasted trying to email some developer who thinks that by keeping his email address off of his blog that he'll get less spam.
For other interested HNers who visit the comments before clicking on links, what you're missing by not visiting this site is:
a) a bootstrap splash page which asks for a title
b) a HTML/CSS/JS dump of the NYT snowfall article [1] with the title header substituted out with the text you entered from part (a), and 451 console errors about broken interactive bits.

I'm always fascinated when something like this appears on HN and it turns out to be a dozen lines of bash. I could easily imagine writing a hundred lines of a "better" language (Python, CL, Ruby...)to do the same thing. I guess it just speaks to the unreasonable effectiveness of Unix tools for certain classes of problems.
You don't need to have btrfs to run Docker (you need aufs which is included in Debian and Ubuntu).

Yes, in the end images are an entire filesystem and can be large if you installed a lot of packages (or very small, e.g: busybox). Yes, you can freeze it: you can commit a container as a new image. Yes, you can push it to a server (https://index.docker.io/). Yes, you can use the same image for development, staging and production; you'll launch different container from the same image that's it.
Effectively a lot of companies already do something approaching this, particularly larger ones that can afford to invest the time in an employee.

When I started at my current position I was pretty good at hacking away at whatever coding task they gave me, but as far as the intricacies of working with a cross functional team of dozens of developers and business people, balancing priorities, coordinating timelines, independently identifying needs, taking initiative, and so forth, I had to learn all that on the job.

To actually respond to your question, though, I think the need for apprentice-style programs is gradually becoming more apparent. The day to day of an average working developer is way different than you might expect from going through a university CS program. Really, on the job training is already happening, the cost is just being absorbed with the first n months of a junior developer starting a job, so it's currently hidden.
Ha! Straight from the horses mouth (today even!) ...

"They are wrong. It is a soft 'G', pronounced 'jif'. End of story." - Steve Wilhite

The fascinating thing about this is that they didn't write a new JIT for asm.js. It's just their existing JIT with more information and a few new tricks. Among other things, this means that it doesn't yet have a lot of the fancy optimizations that C/C++ compilers typically have in their backends, like clever instruction selection or register allocation. It's already impressively fast, and it has the potential to get even faster.
From what I understood of the scheme, HelpScount doesn't differentiate between them - you do. If you want to communicate with someone on your personal email address, you can give it to them directly.

If you're a good programmer, there'll be competition for you here.
Ah, that clears things up a bit, thanks. However, Docker currently has a bug that prevents it from running on btrfs, which I'm running on.
Nitpick: your explanation works for the far more common term "willing", an adjective. But, through it may sound awkward and very few people would use it this way, could it not also be the participle of "to will"? In this interpretation the use of "willing" is totally correct.

(Also, before saying that I've written this out of some foreign notion of English and that I just wouldn't understand, my own native language is English.)
You don't typically lose sessions on mobile devices, though. Repeating the 2FA cycle on them isn't nearly so inconvenient as it is in a web browser.
Yeah, influence is not about generating interest or gathering clicks. You measure influence by tangible actions coming from what you created. All in all, clicking on a Facebook link is not much different than checking out a newspaper and forgetting about it a couple of minutes later.
You mean in the screencast? Well, I'm using `PS1="%# "` here, then I'm running zsh inside tmux.
At my workplace it'd probably have been given for free, and I'm pretty sure none of my co-workers would resent the recipient. Come on, it's an 8 year-old TV. Everyone who wants a TV has a better one already. Are we really so petty?
Where do you get the claim that NSA can reverse cryto that is generally believed unbreakable? Maybe you meant to refer to DSA, which is deprecated, in this line: "If using NSA approved crypto they'd love that such as RSA". RSA is used today for SSH keys.

How about links supporting the claims about NSA? I don't doubt they're trying to break any encryption as far as possible, but the statement that they definitely can break anything needs some evidence.
I think it makes a snarky point.

And the domain could be reused.
I interpret it as a way to keep competitors at bay. "The public markets can fund electric cars. No more government loans are needed for us, or anyone else for that matter."
>Ironically, one of the groups working hardest to enable and promote end-to-end secure communications technology is NIST, ie, "the Government."

I don't see the irony. It's just the nature of government. The government isn't one person, it's competing factions with conflicting interests.

The ideal in cryptography is to minimize the attack surface and eliminate vulnerabilities. If NIST adopts poor cryptographic standards which fail in that regard then they lose face and risk having their dominion over those matters reduced. Their incentives therefore align well with those of the general public.

On the other hand, the FBI's job is to put humans in prison. Security vulnerabilities are their friend because they're often legally allowed to exploit them. And as a bonus, the bad guys can exploit them too -- more bad guys (real or imaginary) means larger law enforcement and defense budgets.
Learn what to charge customers in under 30 minutes
In the case of Coke, I think the cost of packaging is bigger than the cost of the product, but either way its almost irrelevant to the price - they charge what people are willing to pay. I wouldn't buy a big bottle from a convenience store, a small bottle is more convenient for walking around with. I wouldn't buy a small bottle from a supermarket, I want a big bottle to put in the fridge at home.
Oh, I'm not aware of this bug, are you talking about https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/339 ? In any case, don't hesitate to open a new issue on github!
Can we get away from splitting hairs here? Would we rather he have said:

"Make no mistake, this is as much a PR cunning plan or action designed to turn a situation to one's advantage by Tesla to pump up their offering."

Yeah, but again, that's back when you'd be talking with all these different retail stores to get your book to the customer. Plus printing, shipping, all that.

This game is really great. My only complaint is it doesn't make sense that clicking 7 doesn't net you any points, but clicking 3 loses you the game. I'd say 7 should count as a score.
A small semantic question. If it is just one line of code snippet, doesn't a gist make more sense than a github project
I think it's a response to the ScrollKit guy who showed how easy it was to avoid NYT's 100ish hours of development to recreate the Snow Fall story presentation in an hour or so... by reusing all the Snow Fall content (text, images, video) and presumably the layout/design also without their permission.

From what I can tell, this person is saying "Why stop there? Why not copy all their content plus rip off the code?! I can do that with a single click and save you even the hour you'd take using ScrollKit."
The exclusive titles are often the "Must haves" though, not to mention that you can sell for higher prices than you can on a PC.
There is surely some cognitive dissonance here.

> > Though I've figured out that just because someone left their safe open, doesn't mean you get to steal the gold.

> True. Though on the other hand, if somebody figures out they they get free sodas when they hold down both the coke and sprite buttons, as far as I am concerned they get to have their free soda.

So, if the safe is left open, you don't get to take it, but if you press buttons that unintentionally make it open up, you get you have your free gold? uh.
Notice how all his "similarities" (minus twitter follower counts!) pit common and painful pratices from 1999 with demos from the modern day. Seriously. Demos! Which means that, no, we have not actually regressed into 1999.

I believe they just put the healthier foods in more visible locations than the unhealthy ones. Simple strategy, but it worked! http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/10/inside-googles-kit...

Going back to the topic of expense to the company - healthier foods are also generally more expensive than junk food. But if you think it's worthwhile to keep employees at optimal performance, it's a small price to pay...
Samsung Galaxy S4 & Google Now accused of violating Apple patents for Siri
Great news for the folks working at Makani! I hope Google continues to develop the product. Every time I've spoken to anyone at Makani, about tether materials, motor design, carbon fiber manufacturing, whatever, they've known their shit very deeply. They've really beaten a path through a lot of untrodden ground to get to where they are, I hope the product gets off the ground (literally!)

I agree. Just updated.
It doesn't matter. Seriously, this is a ridiculous thread. Dave Winer is always a controversial topic. Know why? Because he's been severely caustic in the past, to many, many people.

Some people go to far, of course, and they only make Winer look like a victim. But Winer is only getting a backlash from the way he's acted the past 20 years.

So saying "would a woman receive the same abuse" is a useless question. It should be "would a woman that has attacked and abused and been generally a dick towards many people over the past 20 years" receive the same treatment.

Dave Winer has done some cool things in the past. He's also been an asshole for many years to many people. That's the truth, and saying that doesn't make me a hater, or a troll. Lastly, you're playing right into his hands. The more threads the more Winer loves it, and the more he can claim to be a victim.
If the job your interviewing for requires dealing in algorithms, having your eyes glaze over while you look at quicksort means you're not a good fit. (Really. There are plenty of people who enjoy looking at algorithms and their implementation)

Obvious note: Many jobs _don't_ require those skills, they're simply cargo-culting their interview questions.

In both cases, you've learned something valuable about the potential employer.
Note that they are still selling each car at a material loss; and only managed to show a profitable quarter by trading green credits they gained from their manufacturing.

I'm not sure that's entirely accurate. I'm looking at their quarterly results for Q1 2013: gross profit was $96.3 million, but the ZEV credit sales were only $67.9 million for the quarter. Unless I'm missing something, it would appear that they are profitable even without taking the ZEV credit sales into account.
I've been keeping track of all the options (about 100 so far and counting) and updating my blog post about it here: http://bit.ly/RSSreaders
Here in Brazil such kinds of compensation are explicitly non-taxable. The employer can even give it in an specific moretary instrument (not money, but something traceable), and won't pay taxes over it.
A button would be good, but it would be even better if it showed up as soon as you played it. It would reduce the number of unnecessary clicks then and become more intuitive to play.
Haha, yeah, I know. It's kind of a sweeping dismissal of most of those arguments. PHP is not cool but it's still good at getting a job done.
Yes please, very interested!
We call that the "we're paying them anyway" fallacy. The idea is that once you've paid someone a salary, its a sunk cost so assigning them any extra task is "free".
I think some folks are missing the point of being able to scale up when needed by just changing the connection string. If you are trying to prove a big data concept with small data, this might be a cheaper path. Now, if there were just standards for NoSQL query interfaces, this might be 100% true...
I think the problem comes with a significant userbase
So then who is going to "interfere" on behalf of the society at large? On behalf of the environment? Will individual consumers do what's right for the common good, for the first time in ever?

Look, everyone is part socialist, part capitalist, part communist, part fascist, part anarchist. Just don't fall into the trap of thinking your current favourite blend of these colours is the one true path. If there's one thing you learn looking around the world, there are many blends that have proven to work comparatively well. (And others that clearly don't.)

Yes, but I mean... is the quality of good material from this kind of sites increasing for some reason? That's my impression. Wordpress alternatives? Etc.
Right. I can write a script to go from fresh installation to deploy in one command using Vagrant, Puppet, Chef, Ansible.

But the reason why so many people like PaaS such as Heroku and dotCloud is actually that there is /one/ recommended way to structure your app (at least, what to put in wsgi and so forth). It's about making it easy to go from code to package to deployment.
I believe you are missing something.

"During the first quarter of 2013, we recognized $67.9 million in ZEV sales, which contributed to our gross margin. ZEV credit revenue
should decline in future quarters relative to our automotive sales as we grow our sales outside the United States and earn fewer credits on the 60
kWh Model S battery variant for those sales that occur in the United States. Other regulatory credit sales recognized during the first quarter of
2013 were $17.1 million." (1Q2013 10Q, p. 22).

$67.9 + 17.1 = $85M in revenue from ZEV + other regulatory credits. Presuming these credits have a nominal cost-I would imagine they're almost 100% margin, given that they're pieces of paper--that leaves $96.3 - 85 = $11.3M in gross profit from selling cars.

nice game. got up to 833 before I realized i'd been playing it way too long :)
That's so true, we hackers operate in a world where many different answers can be correct. However we can generally gauge if a solution is better or worse.

I guess you would need to come up with some sort of metric to measure how much 'better' one solution is over another. A crude example which I've seen is the number of lines. To me that just shows how elegant the code is, but as you know it does not necessarily mean it will execute faster.
Decent game. How is this HTML5 though? The gameplay happens within an HTML table and some simple javascript to turns that table into an interactive game. Seems like something that could have been done with HTML 1.
I have the same problem.

Also, the call notification window disappears after about 10 seconds. I was signed into the old Google Talk too, and it range for a full 30 seconds on that one.

Penguin 2.0 rolled out today
The algorithms may be secure, the software isn't always, much like backdoors in software so to can the libraries that do the encryption even outside the software (Windows even had an NSA backdoor in the 90's - http://slashdot.org/story/99/09/03/0940241/nsa-backdoor-crea...). They confirm nor deny this but I ask you if you were a national security cryptography agency what would you be doing?

Some papers on some techniques, even modes that make weaker key generation: http://www.cryptovirology.com/cryptovfiles/newbook.html

The last real non NSA approved system was PGP in early 1990's, look up Phil Zimmerman and understand that if you create a system that the NSA has trouble peering into if needed (sometimes with considerable processing power) you will be contacted.

http://www.rsa.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2316

"As the premier cryptographic government agency, the NSA has huge financial and computer resources and employs a host of cryptographers. Developments in cryptography achieved at the NSA are not made public; this secrecy has led to many rumors about the NSA's ability to break popular cryptosystems like DES (see Section 3.2), as well as rumors that the NSA has secretly placed weaknesses, called ``trapdoors,'' in government-endorsed cryptosystems. These rumors have never been proved or disproved. Also the criteria used by the NSA in selecting cryptography standards have never been made public."

There would never be definitive evidence and if so it would cause huge problems, for most communications including fast SSL/HTTPS exchanges for business or regular private communications this is not a worry. Most encryption is good enough for that level of communication, there is a reason though the military for sensitive information is using much greater levels and systems for crypto than consumer grade. Just don't be naive to think the NSA can't right now read all of your communications encrypted or not through many avenues trapdoors, backdoors in libraries, taking over computers to get private keys (all keys are stored somewhere and all passwords have to be typed in at some point) etc.
Internship programs also fulfill a similar purpose. See http://www.inc.com/magazine/20070501/column-guest.html for more.
Hiring is a two way process. They're looking for employees, and you're looking for a salary, colleagues, boss, etc. A company that fucks up an interview fails.

My toughest interview process involved driving 200 miles to spend a day doing psychological tests (after my interview). I got the job. Really, the hirer failed the interview, but I wanted out of my current job. Whose fault was that? Turned out to be a great job (my boss told me that he looked at my portfolio and CV and simply said "hire that guy" — the process was hoop jumping.

Brilliant write-up on the benefits of continuous delivery.

Especially the part on delivering value as fast as possible (& drastically changing Cost of Delay) is a very powerful concept that generates enormous economic value (something that engineers often don't immediately think about in comparison to productivity).
Don't like the interface (makes it seem 100x more complicated than it is) but love the idea. I often hit my data cap, am in an area with slow or no data coverage or don't want to load up an app and would be happy to shoot a text off to get a piece of info.

I'm in the UK but this is a far bigger problem in other countries so if executed better this would be very interesting.
