What about a web version of this? If you want to write more than 100 words the iPhone becomes something really annoying. I hope they release, at least, this option some day.
Wow this is really exciting. After reading his experience via his posts i feel like at least before i die i wish to experience such thing once for sure.
And to take your example a step further, the lower risk of a large mutual fund being unable to offload assets quickly enough could result it allocating more funds to an IPO used to raise funds for a company that actually makes stuff.

The caveats are (i) there are diminishing returns to what trades add in terms of wealth because reducing time and cost of offloading stock a further 15 milliseconds and 0.001% clearly isn't going to radically alter the risks of investing in productive enterprises as reducing the time and cost of selling stock by an hour and 5% was
(ii) certain trading behaviours can actually scare real investors away.

Opinions are opinions. They should be stated and treated as such.

Let's not generalize and remind to ourselves that there's a difference between a well-formed opinion and an uninformed opinion and those two are not equal just because they are opinions.
First, you claim it's illegal, but it has not been found to be illegal in a court of law.

Second, you claim it's trashing the US Constitution, but it was a power granted by Legislative branch, performed by the Executive, after a Judicial order. All the checks and balances you could ever ask for.

Third, he's properly referred to as, "President Obama," while he is in office. Respect the title, if not the officeholder.

Fourth, it's the Administration, not President Obama himself.

Fifth, grammatically it should be, "Pay your taxes, citizen."

Sixth, the law was written by President Bush's Administration and the Republicans in Congress. So blaming "Obama" is particularly stupid.
Ah yes, the line of old democracy is a failure because people are idiots for not caring about what I care about.
To attempt to answer your question of what is the opposite of flat design: I refer to it simply as detailed and minimalist. Therefore, skeumorphism would be a specific type of detailed design. Flat and minimalist are far more similar but I think flat has a more restrictive meaning. This also allows for the middle grounds of semi-detailed and semi-minimalist.

I agree completely. The thing that struck me about Ventris was how much effort he put in disseminating every bit of information that surfaced to his fellow scholars. Reading about the decipherment, one cannot help but realize how much effort these people put into maintaining what we would do with a simple mailing list or a Usenet newsgroup.

Ask HN: How can a self taught developer learn Computer Science fundamentals?
I'm a 23 year old self taught developer. I have a business undergrad degree and I've been making websites since age 10. I'm mostly proficient with Ruby and JavaScript. My last job was as a full stack developer working on the following stack: Rails, RSpec, Backbone.js, CoffeeScript, Heroku, Postgres, Redis, Sidekiq, Pusher.

I'm applying to software engineering jobs right now and I have the following questions for the HN community:

1) How can I do better in technical interviews where they ask me CS questions? What have other people done in this situation?

2) Are CS fundamentals really important in the real world? Does it depend on the position? What if you're a JavaScript engineer working with Backbone, browser performance, etc.

3) Recommended courses (online or offline) to learn CS?

Right now I'm reading Introduction to Algorithms by Cormen et al.

Example interview questions:

* Given an array of negative and positive numbers (eg -100..100), find groups of two that sum to zero. Now find groups of three. Now find all groups.

* Implement a function that takes an integer n, and returns the number of 1's in the binary representation of n.

* Implement a function that takes takes 3 (x,y) coordinates which define the vertices of a triangle, and a 4th (x,y) coordinate, as inputs. Return true if the 4th point falls inside the triangle defined by the first 3 points; false otherwise.

* Write an extract_word_series() function that takes a string and returns a 2d nested array where the inner arrays are a group of contiguous words. Assume you have an is_word() function.

* Write a function in Ruby to do a binary search of an array.

* Google interview topics: big O notation, sorting, hashtables, trees, graphs
Any further information on this? That's an interesting comment and I'm curious now. Maybe I'll talk to them next time they knock on my door :)
It's now midnight in my time zone, and I will be going to sleep. But, I will read every comment when I come back online in a few hours, and will reply to any question you ask.

Thanks.
I don't personally mind people seeing information like this about me, but I can see why it's a bit of an invasion. I just learned who gets the most snapchats from who on my friends list. I think a lot of people will either love or hate this.

Love this because they're exempt from the downsides and they have juicy details on their friends.

Hate this because their own details are now public.

A good read, full of knee-jerk comments about how he's an idiot for telling people not to go to school and not to buy a house. The classic "I am going to state a fact" rebuttal instead of actually thinking about what James is saying and possibly learning something from him.

Now James may very well be wrong, stupid, or insane (or all three), but that doesn't mean his advice isn't worth considering when you think about his non-inherited success.

It does state on the page that when you login with GitHub "..., you temporarily grant us access to your public repositories. However, we do not store your authorization tokens on the server side, and instead use a cookie on your browser. To log out, you simply delete the cookie"

The next paragraph explains why. Essentially, Github issues are being used to track and deal with reviewers' comments.
Concerning the sync I think they're waiting to see if Apple plans to fix iCloud (with CoreData) in iOS 7 or if they must look for another way to do the sync. At least this is what I would do, we're very near WWDC I think it was wise to wait to see how it goes. Although I think what's more debatable was the decision to release the app now and not to wait few weeks or even september. Personally I would have tried (if as I think it's for them a side project) to wait the release of iOS 7 (and maybe require iOS 7) and add the sync functionality in version 1.0.
True. Delving into any negativity in an interview answer exposes you to this evaluation.
I've found Lutus to be a valuable participant/contributor to HN. And, both inside and outside of HN, a kind if forthright person advocating for understanding of and quality in the topic at hand.

His work is well worth exploring.

I'm left wondering why I wrote this... "meta" comment. I guess because some of this insight and excellence seems to benefit from if not require a certain independence of spirit and perhaps a corresponding sense of perspective.

Do you use Windows? If so, you are infected with Malware that stole your card number and it finally got used.

I don't know why this is getting downvoted. This is a perfectly valid explanation for why your card got charged that contradicts your reasoning that Linode's encrypted card database got cracked.
Maybe the hosting companies are simply more likely to detect a breach. Not a happy thought I know.

The advantage of the traditional format is that it not only includes four fundamental constants (1, 0, e, i and π) but it also includes the four fundamental operators (addition, multiplication, exponential and equality.)

I guess that:
e ^ i*tau + 0 = 1

would be a suitable hack to get that beauty back.

That's trivially false; human communication can be literally 100% noise with nothing conveyed. This isn't that case.
Alright, I'll go there: What is wrong with developing an app that is used for extra-marital affairs, even if that is its explicit purpose?

For the sake of argument, lets just say that extra-marital affairs being immoral is axiomatic (I don't agree, but that is not going to be a productive discussion). The two people who made vows are the ones with the moral obligation, not the rest of society. Every individual third party is not part of that arrangement, and who are they to second guess somebody who is in that agreement? Both are consenting adults, there is no justification for us telling them what to do. If they want to promise each other something, and then go back on that promise, that is entirely between them.
Great post Eric - Good to see all of the data we've been digging into get out there in the startup community!
This is yet another RSS reader that doesn't understand how power users use RSS readers.

The information density is WAY too low.

It would take me forever to browse through my feeds using your interface.

The reason why I like (and still use) Google Reader is because it packs the most number of posts of any RSS reader on a single page and makes it easy to scroll for more.

Google Reader is "glancable". Yoleo is not.

Otherwise Yoleo looks pretty ok. Design is clear and the icons look good, and it's simple to use.

However, the "glancability" issue completely kills it for me.
Some of the beaches on the central cost of NSW in Australia is excellent. The landscape itself is beautiful and inspiring, however it is the open ocean and swimming could be rather hit and miss (depending upon the weather). Good luck!

Is this outside of Germany? I rent two servers and I never sent any ID.

This shit is annoying. I think it have been only 6-8 months since the managed server part of Hetzner (KonsoleH) got hacked. Now the VPS/root server part (Robot) got hacked. I understand that both incidents are completely different and it seems that they might've learned a thing or two from the KonsoleH-hack, but still. My address data and my bank data are very likely to be compromised.

But then, changing the hoster doesn't make any sense. My data is somewhere out there, can't get any worse I guess.
I just had to cancel my card due to a large, unauthorized purchase at Walgreens states away. I don't know that it was from Linode, but it was the same card that I had when Linode was compromised.
It appears they did!
Gotta agree on this one. Appeals to emotion are for persuasive argumentation, and best applied against audiences for whom sympathy to your narrative is likely. Skeptics aren't that audience.

Hi peeps,

This was a nice surprise getting on HN =)

First of all, I was a weirdo before I moved to the forest. But now I'm a very happy weirdo.

I do have 4G (LTE) broad band, so Internet is almost everywhere I go.

I come from Stockholm but I live now on a trail called Sörmlandsleden, it's a 1000 km long trail and for the moment I'm pretty far south from Stockholm. But the trail never goes out "into the wild".

I also think that there is a right time for things. What I need now is to blaze forward with the coding. That's this phase.

I take swims in the lake and keep clean, shave once a week. Wash my clothes.. So when I do go into town to buy food or meet someone, I do not look like some troll. So meeting potential customers is not a big problem. I just have to get up really early in the morning to get there.. =)

I'm happy so many both here on HN and on The ListServe are interested in coding in the forest and giving support.

When winter comes I do not know what I'll do, but coding in the snow is not an option. But I will not surrender to any "normal" life until the startup begins to move, according to my earlier pledge.

Thanks!

ps. there are no bears around here.
Hah, good to hear it. I've had a similar experience with chorizo... I used to love that wonderful spiced sausage. We are no longer on speaking terms.

Thanks for the post - it's rekindled my interest in spending some time outdoors, though I'll have to wait till the temperature returns to something reasonable.
Yeah, he deserves some big hypocrisy points on that.

But where are the Republicans on this issue? After what feels like about 300 years of them calling Obama a fascist who's trying to turn America into the USSR every day, what do we hear from them when soviet-type stuff actually happens on his watch? Nothing. They're too busy with Benghazi and other non-scandals.
There Was a Time before Mathematica
The MacStories Review [1] has a gif that shows how the app transitions from screen to screen. To me, that's the most interesting part of the app because it introduces a new UI/UX that feels faster and seems unique. Who knows if this will catch on, but it could be something not unlike pull-to-refresh, the hamburger button, or the basement metaphor on iOS if people really like it.

So maybe it's just another note app that won't work for those of us already using a different solution. But the UI/UX design is pretty cool and potentially noteworthy.

90-140 average is what medtronic considers 'in-range' in my pump's data sets. Diamedic, another iPhone app for this, considers 80-160 'in-range'.

The difference isn't due to being from .au. It's because nobody agrees on what 'in-range' means.

My pump keeps track of all of this and uses a web site (carelink) to track results, and share them with my doctor/care team. I stopped using Diamedic since getting the pump, and it's nice to not have to perform an entry every time I mesure/bolus. It keeps track of everything, dose, carbs, readings, basal rate, etc.

If I apply one of their sensors, it tracks rough estimates of bg every 5 minutes, but it doesn't use blood to do so, making the result somewhat inaccurate. Good for spotting trends.

Want Your Government To Foster A Vibrant Economy: See What North Carolina Did
I've come to the conclusion, after my latest release, to just make apps that I will use everyday (aka quit dogfooding), not spend a dime on marketing, and release them for $3-5. I just want to make things that people will actually get some benefit from.
It's just a douchey hand-wavey attention grab.
>The main issue as I see it is that as we use money as a proxy for value, we disproportionately weight the desires of the rich over those of the poor. A service for rich people (e.g. an online photo sharing website) doesn't need to produce much utility to be worth a lot of money, whereas a service for poor people (e.g. clean water for poor villages) can produce a lot of utility and still be worth little money.

That is the essence of free markets. If you look up the "welfare theorem's" you will see that the free market promises to do precisely what you describe: maximize the weighted sum of individual utilities, where the wealthier individuals generally have higher weights.

Ultimately, it is in human nature to care more about oneself and one's family (and possibly other people who you consider to be part of your in-group) than others. The free market just happens to make this fact very stark. Each time I buy a coffee for myself instead of donating to a poor village, I cannot avoid the conclusion that I care more about my momentary happiness than whether someone in that village gets some avoidable disease.

As others have said: a private key should never be in an insecure location, or it's no longer secure. You have to generate it in a secure location, and since you're generating the key-pair, you'll have both your public and private keys in the same (secure) location until you remove the public key, which I don't see any strong reason to do.
I used to start a lot of my sentences with "I think...", "In my opinion...", or "To me it looks like..." and I noticed my emails would commonly go unresponded to, or worse: the conversation would go directly opposite of the point I was trying to make.

Lately I've been experimenting with just saying "x is y" or "x is broken the fix is y". Things seem to be working out better for me that way. It keeps my emails from getting cluttered and the words are obviously my own perspective and opinions, which I will sometimes make explicit at the end.

It is irritating that facts and opinions and everything else can't be kept separate from technical discussions, but that's just how many people communicate and there's not a lot that can be done if you want to include them in the conversation.

You are arguing that storing the public and private key in a vault under the ocean is not less secure than just storing the private key there. While that is technically true, it's also missing the point.
That's very nice, but also very localized.

In most other countries I'd value Twitter's contribution to society about as much as McDonalds commercials...
You missed dllthomas's point. The private key should never exist outside a dedicated secure location, the "key bastion" as you say. dllthoms's point was that it doesn't matter if the public key is also present in the secure location. There is no reason the keys have to be stored separately. That is orthogonal to the actual requirement that the private key is private aka. secret.

In fact, the public key is public meaning it is assumed that anyone has or could gain access to it. It is purposefully published. So keeping the public key separate is meaningless. Since it is assumed that everyone has access to the public key we must assume that anyone who gains access to the private key has access to both. Ergo there is no reason to not store them both in the secure location.
In my opinion the root problem is a lack of recognition on what the assumptions and intentions are on either side. You can correctly apply logic to flawed assumptions and end up in some weird places. Similarly you can take the same set of facts and use different intentions to construct seemingly rational arguments out of them which end up at incompatible outcomes. Real world facts tend to be vague and messy, and are largely unsuitable for reasoning with.

Wow - that is really a good job. The tear-able cloth is amazing. I also loved the rain drops.
Agree with @abraininavat. There is a big difference between mass distribution and mass design.

Another way to look at it is coach builders. 100 years ago, there were many more coach builders and custom car manufacturers than there are today. Car was also a luxury item. That started to be disrupted by mass produced and mass distributed cars, like Ford.

Today, most companies that hire "web developers", are either building things using packaged libraries or modifying things to fit. They are not taking off the shelf components and connecting them without modification. Even tools like Salesforce.com default to people writing code to solve complex configuration issues. The UI is catching up, but it's not there yet.
Hmm, that might be why slashdot ended up this way. I have only been on /. for a while, but I don't think it's stupid to assume that the arguments on there didn't use to be as rife as they are now, or as strong.
