If you take a worldview of the last five minutes, this is true, but if you look at silicon valley over time, it is demonstrable that many companies in the Bay Area have built holistic and scalable enterprises. Look no further than box.com for a recent example or Intel for an old one.

This is a narrow view. Think about it more generally, and you'll see that the same concept applies here.

Cialdini's book, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, is easily one of the most interesting books I've ever read. It's not long and it's an easy read too -- I'd highly recommend reading it:

Robert Scoble and Jaron Lanier on wearable technology [video]
Lessons from the second person I coded for...
This is worth watching. I started working for him at a IT services company that produced the first SkyMall ecommerce website. That services company eventually IPOed, went bust during the dot com bubble. He left that company at the low of the dot com bubble and formed his own. Somehow he managed to build a services company that has done business with Microsoft, Red Bull, etc. The lessons discussed in this video are real and honest.
Golang is often preferred as it's much easier to search for and no need to disambiguate between other things called Go (Chinese board game, 1999 film).
Of course the campaign has been popular online. It's all about demographics; the kind of people that find this online are those that will usually like it.

Now think of a not-so-educated 60 year old tourist going to see a nice park on his vacation.
Everybody knows what "free" means in that context, so your "correcting" is not actually adding anything to the conversation. Perhaps you think you are informing people, but everyone who reads your comment already knows what you're saying, so it's not informative at all.
Just a thought or observation, which I have not properly thought through at all...

I don't use social media at all. I have dabbled in the past, but I just gave up relatively quickly. Do I miss out? No. There is useful stuff there, absolutely, but what I have found is that traditional media works as a sort of filter. So, I'm a F1 fan. Lots of F1 people twitter. But, anything important and useful appears in the usual traditional places. So, I have no need what so ever to follow any one on twitter. If something important comes up, it will appear on, say, the BBC's F1 sub-site.

So, these days, I would suggest that twitter, facebook, etc, are like a raw feed, with traditional journalists filtering the information for me. So far, I have not ever missed out.

Is that what's happening in general, or is that just me?

Another thing I have discovered recently is that live news is misleading knee jerk stuff, that in the end doesn't really help most people. The latest example I can think of is the attack in London. So much info was flying about, but most of it was inaccurate and contradictory. My missus was glued to 24hr rolling news and twitter, and frankly talking nonsense, with it changing all the time. In the end, I told her to turn it all of and watch the 10 o'clock new later on, by which time a more coherent picture would have emerged. Which is pretty much what I do now. Do we really need our new instantly? Or is it better quality a few hours later?

I would, of course, accept that this sort of raw live information is very useful to those involved in one way or another. But most of us aren't.

Thanks ed209, that's great, and exactly what I was getting at.

...fully three quarters of Americans supported a military engagement against countries that harbored terrorists...

The problem is that Iraq wasn't one of those countries, but the media mostly supported President Cheney's^h^h^h^h Bush's desire to invade anyway.

The American media is also hugely biased when it comes to reporting casualties too... every American soldier's death was and continues to be noted, but the huge number of soldiers with severe injuries is rarely counted, and the enormous number of local civilians and soldiers killed and injured are hardly mentioned at all. Aside from military families who know what's really going on, American warfare is presented to Americans as if it was just another one of our action movies. That's why we seem so ignorant about our impact on the world.

Interested in your opinion as to why you don't think this acquisition will help gain market share on AWS.
Sometimes you have to take a few steps back in order to achieve or figure out your so called dream job. Bare in mind cash is a limited motivator as it will never fulfill the drive and passion you have to achieve more. Don't take me wrong money is important but personally I would prefer having a mediocre salary for a while and know that I am on the way to achieve the "real" thing.

You sound like you are having the usual symptoms of wanting to do your own thing. Remember that if you don't try you will never find out. This is me speaking from experience. Best of luck!

Seems a bit on the desperate side for IBM.

Softlayer customer profile (small to medium) seems the exact opposite of IBM (very large to huge). Does IBM take the Softlayer expertise and apply it to large accounts or do they try to service a class of customers they know nothing about.

On one hand IBM is selling dev-ops services to its customers. On the other, it finds itself without sufficient in-house expertise to build out its own cloud services. It's not like this is a new need for IBM. They've been talking cloud for years yet still found themselves needing to buy this capability.

It seems IBM has found out that after years of shedding higher priced operations staff they were nothing but a paper tiger when it came to cloud offerings.

Basically ruined the wall

The problem is that walls are not as smooth as whiteboards.
You have a lot of dents and hills. The stuff smooths it out a little bit, but it's still there. The markers will leave a trace in the dents, and I was unable to clean it.

The wall is a big mixture of black green and red.

Besides the dents, it also doesn't come off 100% from the coating (similar to normal whiteboards)
My experience with IdeaPaint has been completely dependent on who installs it. Just slapping it up on a wall is a sure way to ruin your walls. For best results, sand or otherwise smooth your walls and then apply multiple layers of the paint. After that, buy a subscription to this stuff: http://www.amazon.com/Expo-Non-Toxic-Whiteboard-Cleaner-8180...

Beyond that, writing on the walls is an excellent creative outlet.
Imagine you honestly believe in intelligent design. You probably know most people believe the opposite, so when you encounter poll designed by people you don't know you assume they believe evolution theory is true, so if you want to win money you say whatever it takes, no matter what you believe.

So IMHO this experiment measured how well people predict what experimenter thinks is correct, and not how people beliefs change when incentivized.

Working on non-technical project is a good advice. I like to paint and indulge in photography and I have often seen ideas jumping from one field to the other. Like working on a project that requires front-end work sometimes gets help from while I am splashing paint on my canvas. Photography on the other hand, lets me indulge in the subject at hand. A developer is someone who developer, an idea, a vision into reality. I just do not associate "being a developer" to "being a programmer" anymore.

I did not like the "work for free" advice a lot but I do think that sometimes the only way to work on something that you really want to work on is to give your time and energy to it, for free. I am sure there are people who will not agree with me but I am a big proponent of non-profits (esp the ones who ask for your services, more than money).
It's not a campaign to convince elderly tourists to return to the park.

Bitcoin will not bring down anyone. People will jump on Bitcoin when governments completely destroy value of their paper and confidence in themselves. If tomorrow you start seeing prices going up 10% daily and people getting rid of worthless paper notes, where would you go? First, you'll try to buy some physical goods: food, gold, car, houses etc. But then which money would you use in the remains of the economy? As everyone already has smartphones and if telecom industry does not collapse completely, it would be super easy to install Bitcoin wallets and go on buying and selling stuff in BTC.

Hopefully, if people jump on BTC earlier than later (and we have more useful services, apps and hardware keeping and transacting in BTC) the total collapse will never actually happen. We will just more or less smoothly transition the whole economy on BTC at the expense of all USD-holders (unfortunately). It will be painful, but at least industries will not stop working for months, but will continue going on. Only remaining cash will become worthless during the race to get rid of it.

However, if governments magically stop printing money, default and regain some confidence, then they may probably avoid total run from USD/EUR/etc. Maybe. But right now the speed of money printing and amount of debt is so huge, I don't see any way out of it other than complete USD replacement (more or less peacefully) or brutal tyrannical controls to keep people using gov paper until some bloody revolution happens when economy get completely paralyzed and people starve.

Seattle is a tech hub in scale, but not diversity. The city is basically held down (on the software front anyhow) by Microsoft and Amazon. The number of actual software companies is low compared to the Bay Area or NYC.

Seattle's tech job market also heavily favors large, entrenched players - the same folks who aren't advertising on HN.

Here's one of the main discussion threads from python-ideas about adding enums:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/pytho...

It goes into a lot of detail about why it's so hard for an enum type to be all things for all people.
Here's my hypothesis -- The US Media gets things wrong because the news really isn't relevant. So errors of either commission or omission don't really matter -- sure, the occasional journalist resigns (e.g. Dan Rather after W's National Guard story) or someone goes to jail. Certainly the story is relevant to them, but not to the rest of us.

In most cases, when the story breaks, it's already over. And when a lesson can be drawn from it, it's usually the wrong one (e.g. "they hate us for our freedoms") but that's decided by the propagandists.

You might rightfully ask, "what about stories whose outcomes remain undecided, e.g. Syria? I doubt the outcome, or at least how the US will act, is undecided. But we're not likely to learn about such decisions until after they've been implemented, unless someone really needs to stick their finger in the wind before acting.
"Salesforce is paying $33.75 a share, which amounts to an 11.7 percent premium over yesterday’s closing price of $22.10. Salesforce shares are down by more than 2 percent, or $40.16, in pre-market trading on the news."

How does any of that math make sense? Since when does 2% of $22.10 amount to $40.16, or is my brain just not working so early in the morning?
This effect doesn't go away entirely though (as was admittedly stated in the article).

In political betting markets, you can almost always find a +EV bet by betting on the most likely candidate to win because those who are on the side of the underdog always overprice their candidate's chances, some of this can be attributed to buying into the neck-and-neck rhetoric.

Sometimes you need to read the entire sentence for it to make sense.

The word "add" here is important, as it's talking about having github and something else. So you get github (with all their social stuff...) AND what the scripts add, which is more reliability.
I don't like to be THAT guy on HN who posts off-topic criticism (especially on a really interesting link like this), but as someone who is very interested in data visualization I think it's worth pointing out: pie charts are almost never the correct way to visualize data. I decided to mention this because it's not really intuitive - even many data vis experts had to be taught this. A bar chart presents the same information and is better in almost every way.

Both your pie charts are a good example of how useful information is lost when you have more than a few categories. Both also make it hard to compare the relative magnitudes of smaller categories.

Thanks! Yeah - I'm looking into it a lot more now.
I use Exact Target, every day, and I'm very happy with their product and their service. I won't speak to the valuation, but their technology and application is great.
It's better to build something for yourself or contribute in Open Source than working for free on a for-profit company.

I also don't think it's easy to get "hired" for no money in most companies, legal issues aside, training people is NOT free and you can't trust and give responsibilities to someone you're not paying. On Europe is common to do unpaid internships as part of your education, but the companies taking you in get money or tax rebates to do so.
Most of our integrations allow for a configuration of "failmode" that allows for deciding how to handle unreachable/bad configuration scenarios. From our docs: "On service or configuration errors that prevent Duo authentication, fail "safe" (allow access) or "secure" (deny access). The default is "safe"." Check, https://www.duosecurity.com/docs/duounix, for an example of this in actual documentation. Great question!

Ask HN: I'm 26 and would like to make 100k/yearly before I'm 30. How do I do it?
Like the title says, I am currently 26 and would like to make at least 100k a year by the time I am 30. I am a front-end dev with about three and half years experience but, professionally speaking, I feel like I am stagnating.

I have a very deep understanding of html/css and I know enough jQuery/JavaScript to handle DOM manipulation, as well as build out image sliders, tabbed content areas, etc. etc. I am also very knowledgeable about WordPress. As far as locations go, I live in the central US and won't be moving to San Francisco, New York City or any other large coastal city. Taking that into consideration, 100k would be considered more in the central US than somewhere like San Francisco.

Basically, I see two options. The first option is to start learning a backend language, something like Ruby/C# and hoping for the best. I seriously doubt I could get enough experience learning a new language part time though. My second option is to really start focusing on MVC JavaScript frameworks and becoming proficient in something like Backbone or Angular.

Are those my only two realistic options? If so, are there any recommendations on which route I should go or any general advice?
