This should have been titled "How Clothes Should Fit __Corporate_Drones__"
A good reference for anyone encouraging "Formal Fridays" or something similar around the office. There's a lot to be said for the occasional break from the routine of t-shirt and jeans.
Some of the code contains someone else's proprietary code. IBM have said they can't release OS/2 for this reason.
Nobody's body is an amorphous blob, male or female.

It's simply a matter of design and convention - clothes are designed to fit some body types, and conventional clothing styles are predicated on "degrees of freedom" of possible design that can only comfortably suit some body types without looking like a tent or a gorilla suit.

Actually "male" formal styles have more give in their degrees of freedom than informal styles for either gender, or formal styles for women, because fat men have often been suit wearers.

Still, IMO, designers ought to see "fat people of any sex" as a challenge to their ingenuity. I'd really like to see what people would come up with if effort was applied, rather than merely shifting the proportions of something designed for thin people.
I think I disagree strongly with the posit here. If you can make a world-changing innovation on the scale of the aeroplane, great, more power to you; there's no need to be a dickwad about it, blundering around with a "fuck you" attitude.

Also, is twitter really a world-changing innovation?
They do two 4-layer batches a month, so yeah, the turn around can be nearly a month if your design is ready on, say, the 3rd of the month. I think the do 2-layer board runs every other day now.
I scanned it and I think it's awesome. I'll go back to it later probably.

Having said that I wouldn't recommend anyone to read this. Instead, there's this awesome gem, which I have read multiple times. Don't believe anyone who says it's outdated and you shouldn't read it.

God, they had me until they made the mistake of advising against pleats. I personally prefer them, but I'm not going to say which you should wear, and anyone who does is trying to trick you.

Pleats come in and out of fashion, whereas fit is something that is pretty well-understood across time. Bitch, please.
Ask HN: Nokia intern looking for housing
Hi,

I'm having a tough time finding a suitable place in craiglist and reddit, so I've decided to try here.

I'm a new Nokia intern and despite the fact that the Nokia building is in Sunnyvale, I'm looking for a place in the valley area within walking distance to a Caltrain station.

A little info about myself: I'm 25 y/o software engineer from Spain, responsible, clean and quiet. No drugs, not enough money (just kidding). No pets. No transportation. My internship expires the 24th of December.

All help would be appreciate. Thank you.
Several of them might fall within the bounds of fair-use, such as the one about halfway down showing the debris trail, which is included in the context of a discussion of the debris trail. The large image at the top isn't used in a way that would make for a good fair-use argument, though.

That doesn't fix the immediate problem of dressing nicely while being overweight.

Also, some people are overweight due to, e.g., medical issues and the consumption of medication needed to deal with said medical issues.

According to the recent Salinas v. Texas decision it's not even enough to remain silent. You have to assert your 5th amendment privilege immediately.

As described in a number of articles, 'you don't have the right to remain silent.'
This comment is everything I don't want to be.
I think it's much more preferable that having (not!) next to phrases. Using quotation marks arose because there's no quick way to use a backwards question mark which was the traditional symbol.
Although Berlin has more of a reputation, I'd recommend to also consider other places within Germany. Berlin, while having a lot of startups, is not the center of the "real" software industry. I recommend taking a serious look at companies in the Rhein-Main-Neckar region. This region has a cluster of big software firms, such as SAP, SoftwareAG and the companies working on software for the financial industry (Frankfurt), as well as Technical Universities (these are the ones that produce CS graduates).

Be warned, however, that you won't find anything comparable to SV in Germany. And I have to admit that there is also a problem regarding startups: The largest cluster of startups is in Berlin, but most of the money in the software biz is in West Germany. Btw, please don't get scammed by the Samwers.

Experience is definitely a plus, but probably more with the more "traditional" software companies than with the startups. Many German startups live off fresh degrees and high hopes (in the sense that they are founded by people out of the University), with all the positive and negative side-effects that this brings.

With regards to language, I'd say English and a willingness to learn German should suffice. Most of the software people already know enough English to work with them, and some corporations that operate internationally even mandate some degree of English usage. A few more rules of thumb: If the company is big or works in an innovative field, English should be all you need. If, on the other hand, it is located in a rural place or in East Germany, there might be problems.

These are of course generalizations. In any case, learning German will be helpful, even if it is only to facilitate the interactions with your surroundings outside work.
Any time a cop tries to trick you into incriminating yourself by asking you a question like "Do you know how fast you were going?" where giving any answer could be bad, i'd recommend just answering the question with a question, "How fast?". If he continues to badger you, simply remain very polite and refuse to directly answer any question and pass the response requirement back to the cop.
That sounds terrible, I'm sorry for your friend. Systemically that's broken and represents the potential for massive abuse.

That said, I assume you'd agree that anecdotes don't constitute data, and that we shouldn't develop strong beliefs on the backs of them. To assume the prevalence of something on the basis of loud anecdotes leads us to being easily manipulated -- in the absence of data I believe should keep our priors weak and seek better data.
Language. Fascinating stuff!

But seriously, "internet" is now a dialect of English, and putting things in "" marks as a substitute for tone is commonly accepted.
Source: at 17 I was running a black-hat hacker collective and had, through a series of bad choices, got pretty deep into the 'real-world' side of that business: fraud. The day after my 19th birthday my house was raided by the US Secret Service and the UK Serious Organised Crime Agency in a worldwide coordinated swoop that took in dozens of loosely affiliated people. I have since completely rebuilt my life, so I don't mind anonymously sharing this.

Stealing an identity is trivially easy. Society revolves around relationships of trust between organisations and individuals, and the trust runs amazingly deep. The basic information you need to do it is publicly available: date of birth, mother's maiden name (on the birth certificate and parents' marriage certificate respectively, copies available on request from the records office).

Carrying out the ID theft takes resources and balls. You'll need to be able to manufacture ID documents, or have access to someone who does. Nowadays you can buy them on one of the onion dark markets. Generally you want a driving license, as this is the easiest to forge form of ID that gets you complete access. Banks, governments, etc. will accept it.

Sadly, making driving licenses is not too hard - document security is pretty weak. You'll need to make yourself some ultra-high resolution scans, trace the entire design in illustrator, and then get hold of some printing equipment. You usually want to print on teslin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teslin_(material)), and laminate with a high-quality laminator. UV seals can be easily replicated by hacking an epson printer to use modified cartridges with UV pigments injected into them. Holograms can also be replicated by dusting your laminate with interference pigments and reverse-printing in clear ink to fix the design. It can all be done on commodity hardware.

With a driving license and dob/mother's maiden name you can then access a huge amount of someone's sensitive information, and more importantly, control their relationships with organisations. I don't want this to be a tutorial, so I'll simply say that with several more pieces of information you can take out credit in someone's name, control their existing accounts (e.g. by adding yourself as a new cardholder), or start causing trouble in their name.

A final word of caution. While it's easy to get people's information from government records offices, it's even easier to get it from them personally. We used to call people and social engineer them into giving us their DOB, bank account numbers, secret words, etc. Don't be stupid with your information: never tell someone your data down the telephone unless you called them. Oh, and if you're thinking of committing identity fraud, think again. It's not hard to pull off, but you're not smart enough to do it without getting caught. Everyone gets caught in the end.

I think your post wins the "worst analogy in this discussion" award.

There is so much pseudo-science on every side of this debate that I'm against just about anybody who takes an absolutist position in the way you have.

Personally, from my own research and experimentation in my own diet, I firmly believe that weight is an I/O issue though good health is more complex than that.

While Atkins never specifically advocated for calorie restriction, it strikes me as common sense that some portion of new Atkins dieters experience positive results due to calorie restriction. It can be difficult to replace the number of calories in pastas, pizza, etc, in part just based on caloric density.

It's also confused by the fact that Atkins and other (if not "fad" then "theme" might be a better word?) diets have to change both physical, calorie I/O issues, and mental issues to truly be effective long term. While I truly believe that for weight loss, 2000 calories of fast food is the same as 2000 calories of lean protein, fruits and veg, after the period of strict control (the "diet") the person eating 2000 calories of fast food has not done much to truly change their habits and mindset.

I, personally, have accomplished a lot by intermittent fasting (didn't know it had a name until later, to me it was just about not eating as much during the day in favor of a bigger dinner) and learning that it's OK to feel not-full. And to learn the difference between hunger and feeling not-full. I went from 210 to 170 and lost 55 pounds!! of fat during the process. I have a big dinner (usually 50% of my daily caloric intake) and dessert every night (another 20%). That's complimented by a lunch of around 25% of my daily intake. Very infrequent snacking. No breakfast, even on Gym days, and no soft drinks only water, aside from alcoholic beverages.
Maybe it's a rate limiting thing? This is a relatively expensive search, and they probably don't want people to mechanically download all the graphs. The UI does support uploading your own time series data.

No. It's a forum with a gimmick that happens to work well on mobile (short posts).

Everytime I see an overweight person who's wearing nice clothes that fit well, I don't see an overweight person. That is, the well-fitting clothes take away from their being overweight almost completely, at least in my perspective. You do make a good point, however, that those folks would probably want to untuck their shirts.

While I study biochemistry in school, I will not pretend to be able to give medical advice, so I can't answer your question with regards to medication. However, for those overweight folks who just haven't been tending to their diet and exercise as much as they'd like, leangains and a good strength-training program is a fantastic way to shed fat and become more "fit." Although, if you're really interested in getting involved, I personally believe http://rippedbody.jp to be a better resource for the information on leangains (although leangains.com is the original source), simply because it's better organized and more straightforward.
How many of those other services are as highly federally regulated as flying an airplane, though? MUNI may suck, but MUNI doesn't need to answer to the feds.

Unemployment Among 18-29 year olds in U.S. is 16.1 percent
The accuracy of something like flighradar24 at low altitudes (where the difference between a landing and a crash is a matter of feet) is not high enough, and the data reporting interval is not small enough, to be used to do more than guess what happened. The article gives 3-4 data points per minute. You can't look at that data and draw any conclusions about the motion of an aircraft.

It's fun speculating, but please remember that the data from ADS-B is not designed to reflect the aircraft's motion over the time periods that matter in a crash. We have no idea what delays are present in the system, what delays flightradar's system adds in, and what the accuracy of the system is. It's very important to understand the limitations of any sensor data you analyse. It would be good to mention that in the article.

Edit: I notice that there's a little disclaimer at the bottom of the article saying that Flightradar24/flightaware data is "not 100% accurate", which is sort of covering the issue. However, when dealing with data like this it's important to remember that there's all sorts of ways data can be "accurate" or not. The uncertainty of the data itself, the frequency of data captured, the accuracy of the timestamps attached to the data and all sorts of other variables need to be considered when you're trying to understand the picture that sensor data is painting.
Interesting. I think the fact the home screen is so cluttered with icons is one of the reasons I don't feel comfortable with Windows 8.
"No pants should need a belt to stay on your hips."

So I suppose I should quit pants altogether, or only wear pants with elastics, since I can't find pants long enough for my legs that don't fall off anywhere. I have only one pair that fits me without a belt, and I had to buy it in Spain (I'm from Argentina); apparently teenagers are taller there so a they had my size.

I know these articles can't work for everyone, but it really bothers me how hard it is to find clothes for some body types.
With cameras everywhere on the streets, I am baffled that there aren't cameras on the runways. Many, many airplane accidents on runways would be a lot easier to investigate, including, for example, the one where the SST caught fire.

Rail is federally regulated; it's part of why BART and Caltrain and HSR are so screwed up (passenger rail has to conform to some very very high crash standards to operate on the same network as freight rail, unlike in Europe and Asia -- so instead they built BART as a separate network and used essentially custom gauge, trainsets, etc. for everything.)

Admittedly the parts of Muni, BART, etc. which are the most screwed up are not the parts regulated much by the federal government, but at the very least SF is the organization picking the people to do things, and I'm wary of that. (although elected officials are also bad in SF; a Chief Law Enforcement Officer who beats his wife, etc.)

Better to be Prepared: When Zombies Attack
I don't know if it is a question of whether they are in or out of fashion. Some people can pull off pleats, but when they don't look good, they really don't look good. If someone is reading this primer, they are probably not in a position to tell which is which.
On a tangent (but hopefully quite relevant):

Does anyone else feel that perhaps a lot of what we're seeing is a case of "Those who do not know history's mistakes are doomed to repeat them"? As I look back on all of the history education I received in school (the compulsory part, not college), it occurs to me that it was largely a lot of propaganda. With the exception of black slavery, a brief mention of WWII internment camps for Japanese-Americans, and some ambivalence over the war in Vietnam, there's hardly any mention of anything the United States has done which is bad.

And unfortunately, this is all the history education the average voter has.

Somehow I associate suits with either dishonest people who use them to try and project false integrity (salesmen, bankers, recruiters, etc.) or servants who are forced to wear them by their masters[1] (porters, security staff, heck in some city offices even the cleaners wore them).

Since I like neither dishonesty nor subservience and find ties incredibly uncomfortable, I intentionally don't wear any such thing. It is astonishing how much we read into clothes though. I was regularly mistaken for a bouncer while standing outside a club wearing plain black clothes (despite drink in my hand).
