Not to say Twitter isn't a fine medium but I personally don't think a real discussion can be had 140 characters at a time. It's a severe limit that just doesn't work (wrt discussions).
As I mentioned in the other Slashdot/HN thread, I too think it is all about the front page algorithm.

The [thing] is though, I don't really doubt the structure. A lot of "new" and few "front page," filtered algorithmically, seems like it can scale. Of course, for that the algorithm must be good, and for that, maybe HN needs an algorithm contest.

Should articles "pop" for both "velocity" (pace of up-votes, click-throughs, and comments) and "scoring" against a mission statement?
It promotes consice yet well-thought out statements.

Do you feel that you've lost anything in terms of composeability as compared to a more stream/combinator-oriented approach, like, say, Flapjax? If so, have you found that painful in the real world, or do you think it's more of an academic concern with little meaningful impact?

So a friend of mine interned at this small company nearly 3 years ago, and made this app over his summer: http://iphonehangtime.com

They have articles on shaving too, does this imply that women don't shave? I bet they have articles on automotive repair, it must mean they don't think the broads can handle it.

Gender should not have to be sanitized from everything for it to be acceptable. It's simple existence does not actually imply anything.
The 140 character limit was so that a tweet could fit in to an SMS message (160 characters) and have enough room left over to address it to @someone.

It will happen, eventually. It's either that, or some kind of Blade Runner dystopia. But the transition will not be easy. Massive upheavals might be lurking under horizon.

The possibility of the transition is predicated, on the technical side, on massive advancements in AI and robotics.
I had to deal with this before. Basically we combined several obscuring techniques:

Use SSL for the requests which makes it harder to sniff the API.

Add some sort of tamper token like you suggest.

Use a specific User Agent string and check for that.

Provide no error messages if any of the above fails.
This is different though, as most of the components that are used in this device require you to sign an NDA to even get the datasheet. Most devices beforehand had at least a semblance of the open source movement.
that seems like such a solvable problem, from a machine learning perspective. every time you read/engage with a tweet or HN post or other content, you are providing training data on what type of tweets/posts you want to read.

now if only we had some benevolent central cloud provider that wanted to provide such a service and had a central repository of news and feeds.

maybe Google could do something like that and call it 'Reader.'
Twitter? They solved the insecurity and instability in using their previous SMS solution, and they don't hold the key to the second factor of authorization, in the event their systems leak.
Thanks for the explanation in the link. The problem that is described in the link is clearly solvable, however what I'm referring to is more fundamental.

I'm not talking about nested binds, but just a simple bind such as "z = bind -> x.get() + y.get()". This will add listeners to x and y. When will those listeners be removed again (without adding new ones during the recalculation of z's new value in case of a change to x or y)?

It may be that x and y are the basic models in my app, and during my clicking around in the application I create and close many panels, and each panel has bind-operations that add listeners to x and y. Now the panels may be long gone, and will never be used again, but when will the listeners that was added to x and y as part of creating the panels be removed?

It's worse than that. Since you can't editorialize titles and some authors like to give their articles poetic, meaningless names like "A butterfly in the sky," when the actual article talks about a security exploit in Bitcoin, coded in Go and released by Wikileaks.

I often find myself ignoring interesting articles on HN only to go read them later on reddit with a much more descriptive, editorialized headline.
I wear boat shots, a nice pair of Levis and a nice polo. Same as I always wear.

Audi and BMW have specifically treated me like a piece of crap every time I've stepped into their showroom (maybe three times each) for the past 15 years. Nowadays I don't set foot in either because they no longer sell cars I'm interested in (R8 a bit too dear for my budget).

I've had pretty good experiences with Toyota, which jives with your experiences with Lexus, as they are part of Toyota.
Being a laborer is always going to be a tenuous existence. Owning capital is what buys you security. In a future where everything is automated and produced by robots, the only existence that isn't tenuous will be for people who own those robots.

I'm probably right of center, but you don't have to be a leftist to realize that Marx had great insight into the relationship between labor and capital, an insight that will be crucial to understanding how society will evolve as the necessity for labor is automated-away.

When I was watching Carmack's talk from Quake Con this year all I could think was "how does this man have the time to do all of this?" The email today from Oculus both excited and worried me though. I really hope Carmack is given the chance to dedicate himself to the project. His tweet today was reassuring though: "My time division is now Oculus over Id over Armadillo. Busy busy busy!"

So AOSP is a lot of things but not really open and the geniuses at Google deliberately let the shit hit the fan despite 6 months of warnings by JBQ. Stay classy, Google.
Great example of a big reason that programming is hard: because it serves humans, and humans are damn messy. There are 1,000 exceptions to even the most seemingly simple tasks...how many of them is your software going to try to handle?

Clean, beautiful software often gets to be that way by imposing constraints and filtering users--the people who don't like those constraints just go elsewhere. Want folders in your email? Don't use Gmail. Want to write more than 140 characters? Don't use Twitter. Etc.

Unsatisfying software is often that way because it cannot employ those filters. Corporate apps are a great example. Don't like that weird compensation package HR negotiated with the Europe division? Tough--build it anyway. Don't like the favored color palate of the CEO? Tough--build it anyway.

Dates are like a corporate app for everyone. Don't like that Sweden made a bad decision a few hundred years ago? Tough--build it anyway.

But ultimately no piece of software can handle every exception...we're just too damn messy.
There are a few things we can do:

1. Write to your congressman. Tell them that this is unacceptable.

2. Vote third party. Put the hurt on the major parties and force them to move, and if they do not move, remove them and put new parties in their place.

3. Educate people. This is no longer just a crazy conspiracy theory or a bunch of paranoid fears. You have cops, prosecutors, etc. admitting that this is common practice.

Also, take a moment to reflect on just how many other things had to happen for us to get into this situation. We are here because something as mundane as a traffic stop can and often does lead to a felony arrest. The intelligence gathering would accomplish nothing if it were not for the massive number of laws, the massive number of victimless crimes, and the vast power we have given to the police. The next time you hear a politician talking about the need to get tough on crime, the need to give the police more power to arrest people, the need for more laws, look back on this and ask yourself if you really want a strict law-and-order society.

Be sure to tell others about it too. We need more than an irrelevant minority to understand just how dangerous things are getting.

I tried to keep this as faithful as possible to the original JS code I was copying from.

In the actual SunSpider benchmark (in Javascript), a new Array object is allocated within that same loop, so I wrote the C++ and Java code to mimic that behaviour.

I could have pulled the Array allocation out across all of the implementations, but I tried to avoid making any changes to the benchmarks unless there was a correctness-issue involved (e.g. moving makeCumulative in the fasta benchmark out to the prelude was a correctness issue.. since it's wrong to run it more than once on the same array).

I'm first author on that Pervasive article... my PhD thesis focused on using passive UHF RFID tags affixed to objects, people, etc to allow mobile robots to quickly take inventory and then approach (locate) tagged objects in the home [1].

Passive UHF RFID tags are nice for a number of reasons: super-low tag cost (sub-$0.10 in bulk), long range (6+ meters), and lack of a battery (tags harvest wireless power from a reader). Bluetooth solutions will have a hard time competing with UHF RFID on these properties -- and that's key for certain applications. However, there are definitely benefits to an alternative solution like wireless triangulation. For example, even the best UHF tag localization algorithms produce error bounds on the order of 0.5 meters (there are workarounds for mobile robots). Plus, the Bluetooth solution doesn't require the reader to be mobile -- you can take a single measurement and get a decent pose estimate.

I still share a lot of your concerns: if this is using triangulation, you'll need multiple base stations (ie. infrastructure costs); many similar systems require extensive calibration; and the effects of multipath, diffusion, and fading can be very tricky to characterize.

As for mapping... SLAM mapping using ultra-low cost laser rangefinders [2] is nearing triviality, and even onboard visual SLAM is becoming imminently feasible. Anyway... happy to speak more offline. My contact info is easy to find.

I hear this often if I try to discuss Amazon.com work conditions, but I don't like the excuse. Costco is the largest company that comes to mind which makes much stronger claims and (if you believe them) treats employees, even 'unskilled' employees, better.

Here are some Glassdoor reviews for Costco Wholesale:

http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Costco-Wholesale-Reviews-E2...

I'm sure this isn't a good comparison. But Costco is doing fine and has a large market cap (52B).

This isn't new to Amazon.com, but Amazon.com is exemplary in treating employees in high-demand (i.e. easily replaceable) positions poorly. We should talk about their warehouses because their policies alone could nudge the industry to being more compassionate.

Bezos repeats that "long-term" "willing to be misunderstood" stuff a lot, but how many companies have tried really treating replaceable workers well? Maybe the current conditions inhibit workers from fulfilling their potential and making larger impacts than carrying boxes.
It looks good and seems fast. However, the UI is broken for 1M rows because clicking the down arrow on the scroll bar causes the 6-row grid to jump 32 rows. In other words, you can't scroll to any arbitrary row. (Try to scroll to see row 15, for instance.)

PHP script to backup MySQL on Mega
This is a simple PHP script, that dumps a MySQL database in Gzip and upload it on Mega.co.nz service.

Since I'm new to open source, I'd like to hear your thoughts, improvements and stuff.
Hellbans aren't meant to teach people what mistake they made. Downvotes and comments are supposed to do that.

That's why it's a shame that downvoting is so disapproved of among a group of HN users, and it's a shame that people "drive-by downvote".

Hell banning is meant to save time of everyone in the community, and it does a pretty good job of that. There's much less meta commentary about whether banning a user is or isn't fair; and there's less to and fro about what should be a bannable offence. The algorithms do all that stuff.

I agree about the political stuff.

If I get hit by a car here, I can ER treatment. In India, a person can spend precious minutes on clogged roads while hospitals turn that person away just because they don't deal with the fucking paperwork of dealing with a dead body.

Yes, your situation here is awful too. But that is only a taste of the hell hole that exists out there. There is a reason that immigrants still come to these shores. It is because the hell here is paradise compared to the hell out there.
This is something I was thinking as well. I've got a Yubikey, and felt like there is a really good use case for a 'trusted' off phone device. I've pitched it a couple of times and the story gets either diverted into the "You can't solve the 'Identity' problem, it's the security equivalent of the halting problem." rat hole or the "Why would anyone care something around in addition to their phone?"

I explain the phone 'rooting' problem and it isn't perceived as a real issue yet (although perhaps it is getting there). In the mean time I have it on my shelf of "things I could build that at least 10 people I know would buy one of." :-)
The thing is at this point a lot of latency comes from the fact that each dimm is physically displaced from the cpu.

When you are on a timescale of nanoseconds even electricity's speed can be slow when being compared to something like intel's l4 cache which is on-die.

For any type of volatile memory that latency will exist until mobo designers move the ram closer to the cpu or adopt optical interfaces between parts.

For some cool calculations that can put things in perspective take the speed of light as 299 792 458 m/s and take the time of a nanosecond as 10^-9 seconds to get ~0.3 m/ns for light. That means that for every third of a meter the dimms are away from the cpu means a constant 1ns delay in terms of latency.
the survivorship rate, which is the inverse of the churn

That's an odd definition of survivorship rate though, isn't it? Suppose churn is 75%, that would give a SR of 1.333, which doesn't make sense to me...

More logical I think would be SR = (1-churn). Of course, .978 is close enough to 1.0 that it doesn't matter, and I don't understand how the grandparent arrived at 32 months.

Edit: your two formulas for total company-months also imply that sr = (1-churn), so maybe I'm missing something?
Probably because those rabid capitalist types actually have the money to afford those locally produced items.
But, but, Android is the very definition of open! Andy Rubin said so:

the definition of open: "mkdir android ; cd android ;
repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform
/manifest.git ; repo sync ; make"

https://twitter.com/Arubin/status/27808662429

Well, I suppose if you define "open" as being able to build the software, but don't promise you can actually use the result, that makes it acceptable.

The other important thing to note here is that Jean-Baptiste Quéru is not just some random Android developer. He is the the point person for what everyone previously believed was "open" development on Android.
I can touchtype, so I don't need to see my hands or the keyboard. But when I play a game, I never ever ever look at my hands - my eyes are clearly glued to the screen. I know this is definitely the case when I play games on my laptop but with an external screen that is to the side of the laptop because I sit in a way that I look right at the screen and to see the keyboard would mean I'd have to look to the side. In many fast paced game (FPS, MOBA etc) glancing at the keyboard means death...
I think guaranteed minimum income creates worse incentives, everyone making under the limit would be persuaded to work less or work under the table. With basic income the incentive to make more still exists at all levels of income.

They (media, leftist groups) tried to create a scandal about this in Germany and succeeded to some extent. I found it kind of amusing that the mere description of people having to do actual work already seems to be so shocking to middle class people. If you don't work with your brain, you work with your body... I don't think working a farm or maybe a slaughterhouse or whatever other manual labor jobs there are are much better than an Amazon warehouse. I saw a documentary about garbage men recently and apparently they have to be fit like Marathon runners. Some jobs simply are hard.

Now I am glad I don't have to do that kind of job, but people should question what they are really asking for. They should then really support basic income, and also be prepared to pay a lot more for stuff. In fact, I wish instead of complaining people would just cough up more money. I wonder how big the engagement would then still be.

Or, you know, go full communism and have everybody take turns at doing the hard manual labor, no matter what education they have. In Christmass time, there would be a random selection of people who would be sent to Santa's warehouse (I mean Amazon) to work.
The remote one is for production, not development. (Well, thats how I'm using them anyway).

In my workflow I have two boxes in my Vagrant profile, one for development (local VBox VM) and one for production (DO droplet). Using Chef for provisioning, I can configure and test provisioning locally, then roll it out in production with minimal effort.

Its a really nice workflow! Although all this Docker business lately looks like it might make for an even better one.
