I'm wondering what Kal's license is? I'm especially wondering if source written in the language itself qualifies as open source under the terms of any/some/most/all of the Free and Open Source licenses, or if the source of every version ever used to compile another version must be made available?

Cytokine storms are fairly well-understood complications of various infectious diseases like Spanish Flu, SARS, and Hantavirus. There's no perfect cure for them, but there are a number of treatments that seem to help, and research into that benefits a number of other deadly ailments other than this cancer treatment. This is not a phenomena unique to this treatment.

Yes. October: http://www.dvlotteryhome.com/dv-2015-registration-period/
Yet those numbers can be easy to achieve.

In many European countries, developers make between 1500 euros and 6000 euros a month. The amount per year additionally depends on how many salaries one gets (12 - 14).

So using the lowest value for salary and months, results in an amount of 18 000 euros a year.

Now one just needs to multiply this value by the amount of developers in the team and how long the software has been in development.

I am disregarding consulting rates, which tend to be higher.

Not to forget the extra costs of non-programmers in the company, taxes, office rental, water, electricity and all the other expenses business related.
That would be a very useful test of telling deaf and hearing people appart.
Yes, I did say continuing down the current path was necessary. From the languages to the libraries, today's tools allow us to work miracles. As Go has shown with CSP, sometimes these initial failures are just ahead of their time. Neuromorphic computing and neuroscience have come a long ways since the last AI winter.

The hierarchical model in Hinton's DNNs is a promising approach. My biggest concern is that all of the examples I've seen are built with perceptrons, whose simplicity makes them easy to model but share almost nothing in common with their biological counterparts.
You've got the option of modifying any site's CSS, though some are more easily modified than others.

Stylish, Stylebot, and other browser plugins exist for this, and once you create a theme it can be shared across multiple devices. I've used Stylebot rather beneficially on a large number (433 and counting) sites. Most are modified pretty easily, some I've taken slightly more work on.

Note that this tends to presume a desktop OS. Many smartphone browsers don't support plugin architectures or similar modifications, though you can use alternate email applications for accessing gmail (e.g., K9Mail for Android).

> When you kill all of the microbes inside of a cancer cell, the cancer cell will revert into a normal cell because there is nothing to block the production of ATP energy. This is the ideal way to cure cancer because there are no dead cells and no debris from dead cells.

And another from the same website.

> Autism is caused by microbes (e.g. infections in the stomach) and/or metals, such as mercury. They are usually in the stomach, colon, gut, call it what you want. The source of the micobes is usually vaccinations, which will be discussed in the next section.

It's like a cesspit of misinformed medical garbage.
Thanks, the theory of generating secure-ish permutations of arbitrary size (at least, small ones) isn't that well developed and I hadn't considered generalizing feistel structures to other bit sizes. It's an interesting research topic IMHO. '

I have to admit that I'm slightly chagrined by the disparity of approach between a lame-ass pentester and an associate professor and two PHD candidates. Reverse elitism, it lives.

I still find the decision to release to be an interesting choice; I didn't because I felt that it would lead to an increase in Internet background radiation, and that basically it's an obvious approach and anyone working in this area will come to exactly the same conclusions. Beer soaked napkin calculations will lead everyone to exactly the same scanner. From my POV there was little benefit in giving this crap to people who wouldn't make the same calculations and write the same code.

What amused me for a while was how long we could get away with being the top "malicious" source on DShield [hint, this requires a ridiculously high packet rate - but it was less than 50k PPS :]. But if you use zmq and distribute your targets that way between a bunch of scan agents, you can get off the top 10 list. Also you can do a scanner like this with a lot less SLOC. The correct architecture is "ip distributor", "scan agent", "listener". They're sort of conflating.
Green card holders also have to pay US tax on worldwide income. Note that if you permanently move out the US you are supposed to relinquish your green card. The last time I looked at this (~2 years ago) the guidelines were that being out of the country for up to six months was okay, and up to a year required official notice, and longer than that was only acceptable under exceptional conditions.
Key word: "almost".

I've got a large and growing procmail list of complete idiots (yep, shell mail on a private box).

I agree. I have lived nearly a decade in both HK and NYC each and HK was by far a better place to live and work.
So, somewhat darkly, when I saw this article a moment ago, it had a claimed 100% success rate. Now it's a 75% success rate.

I'm suggesting that cannabis should be sold strictly to adults only. Cannabis, just like alcohol, impairs the growth and integrity of certain brain structures of adolescents. Would you want 14-year-old kids to be able to legally buy and consume cannabis and alcohol? Of course it won't stop all of them who want from getting it somehow, it didn't stop me either at that age but do we really want to make it easily accessible and risk having a generation with potential damaged brains?

One can't downvote submissions, only flag them.
I think the main problem is that writing good software is not a commodity. There is no process or best practices that can ensure a successful software project.

Especially management is desperately seeking for a way to commoditize software "production".

This would mean that with a cultivated process and a set of studiously selected tools and the right developers, the project would be guaranteed a success. The trouble is: every software project already tries to do that.

What a business really aims is to be an exception on the "Law of large numbers". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers) There is simply no static solution to be an exception.
It's an interesting bit of human behaviour really. When faced with the knowledge that they are being besieged with malignant cells, people tend to try and find any material that gives some assurance and kind words. The booklets they give you in oncology aren't particularly reassuring, and I haven't even been more than on the slideline with them.

You can almost attribute the death of Steve Jobs to this sort of material. His form of pancreatic cancer was, according to his biography, quite treatable with conventional medicine. He instead went off the path and tried to combat it with diet and behaviour, and by the time it became too much for him, the window for conventional medicine was over.

Posts like that kill people.
And an intelligent answer would be "go find a job" :) Or give you a motivational quote from Tumblr :)
Such as one of the uncountable numbers of other types of cancers?
Jobs is a good counter-example to this kind of thinking. A guy with effectively unlimited resources couldn't find a natural cancer cure.

But 'cancertutor.com' is just the ticket! Bleh.

All you have to do is invoke the magical word 'natural' and you have your audience.
Sorry, are they objecting that the economy cannot support a large class of nonworkers yet, or that they really just think work is a good thing in and of itself?

Because in the latter case, "them's fightin' words."
If he can only associate my previous page view with my current requests, then how does he know it's me again? I mean, the image request is separate from the page request, and in any case only comes later.

So he would need to store a mapping from something he already knows (from the headers of my request for his html page, or my IP) to my ETag "cookie" to know what my previous ETag was.

Wouldn't that require using some of the features he wasn't going to use (like user agent) to work?

What am I missing?

> In the case of a ultra-simple design available to terrorists that reaches critical mass by simply "dropping" one chunk of fissile material on another there is no explosion if it doesn't actually reach critical mass.

Actually, you can get a nuclear "fizzle" and if you had enough nuclear material to build a reasonable bomb that just didn't quite come off quite right, you will still get everyone's undivided attention: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fizzle_(nuclear_test)
I think that you are talking about the standard way of applying for a green where it is imaginable that a rejection would raise flags during later applications. But in the lottery, if you don't get it, it's not that you were denied, it's just that you did not win it.

My parents just built an extension onto their 3 bedroom house (just the 2 of them living there) because the dining table didn't fit comfortably into the kitchen/dining room.

A good chunk of the space is used up by a sideboard and a display cabinet full of fancy china which is used once a year at most.

I asked them why they didn't just buy a smaller table but they wouldn't answer the question. I have a hunch their relationship has failed and has been for some time and they are using the extension as a distraction.

Since I moved house earlier in the year I've had 5 boxes of "stuff" sitting under my desk. I make bravado about selling it but I haven't had the balls to yet. What if some day I need all those CDs of mediocre 90s indie? Instead I read endless blog posts by preachers of minimalism and take comfort in my good intentions to do something about my own shit, some day.

Actually, the one-off nature of the thing may be very well what can makes this kind of charily work. If the donations were regular, a system of extracting the money (by usury, direct violence etc.) would quickly emerge.
I like the concept but I still think the decrease of incentive to work will be too big resulting in a deficit. I would love to be proven wrong though.
Thanks for all your comments. Here is what i have got
1. Might not matter, should auto-correct itself in a year or so.
2. Still not sure about my expectations wrt asking for 130K-150K ? I don't want to miss the boat while i do not want to get in at a low, since getting rises is really hard nowadays.
3. Thanks for all the wonderful information about neighboring places. Wow, I have a lot of options and not just NJ.
4. if 130K-150K works out, then i should be fine with the after tax savings. Whew!!
5. Might have to do some long hours in the beginning, might tail off as i get more exposure.
6. Will follow up with my company's lawyers.

Also, I remember reading a blog about a person's experience while moving to USA. He mentioned about SSN, DMV license, Moving his savings to USA, Credit ratings, etc. Can someone point me to the url again or send me appropriate urls where this information has been already mentioned.

Hey there! A little bit of trivia about the name: I have been working at an internal project at SoundCloud called goku (not the web framework). It came the time where I needed to load test it and didn't find the available solutions to my taste.
Hence, vegeta was born :)

Regarding the cluster mode, it's trivial to sync commands across machines but it's not trivial to sync the state that generates the reports. That's what cluster mode would do.
Some sort of master-slave architecture scatter execution and gather and compute the aggregated reports.
you also have to consider that rushing through the trial stages can cause mistakes which leads to the treatment looking like it's ineffective. When this happens, it loses funding any may not then be developed further.
Mixpanel android App
Hi,
I have developed an android application that allows you to access your mixpanel analytics on you mobile device. It is available on Google play store: http://bit.ly/1eLjq03

I would appreciate feedback and suggestions.
I keep trying to learn how to use CCW for the debugger, but I've been using Emacs too long. Realistically we should improve the nrepl tooling so that everybody can use the editor they're happy with.
Analysts feel the need to change the strategy every six months, because if we kept one strategy and stuck with it, what would we need an analyst for?

No matter how cynical that sentence sounds, I am seriously considering to frame it and put on my wall. The endless search of direction, combined with the belief in silver bullets is probably the single most destructive thing for a company of any size.

I've been there. Many times. And my friends have complained about the same in their respective companies.

Developers burn out from lack of continuity or visibility. They get exhausted from constantly putting out the latest fires, and they start to loathe the job (and sometimes themselves) because there is never time to do things well, but there is always time to do them again.

You can substitute "they" for "we" - because quite frankly I believe that most of us have shared the pain.

p.s. due to HN front page traffic probably the service that does the execution of the code seems to have been knocked down... (scalakata.com, an amazing project by the way, not mine, source on github). sorry!

Would a reduction of 70%, like it cites for one of the failures of the treatment, cause the patient's condition to improve a bit, or would it be effectively the same?
Shitty move from facebook, because 1°) this is a major security issue, 2°) could have done a lot of damages, 3°) who coded this in the first place, seriously?

Come on guys, just give him the money.
On that note, there's another book that's probably similar (haven't read the one you mentioned) called "The Lights In the Tunnel" (the author has a set your own price download for those only casually interested).

> Why is testing an issue? The Trinity test was successful on the first run.

The gun-type nuclear device which was dropped on Hiroshima was never tested at all (not enough HEU to build a test bomb and a bomb for the attack). It's fundamentally an easy machine to build if a terrorist has the nuclear material, it's easy for them to unit test the gun bits and so on, and if the nuclear material is good the final product is as sure to work as any other sophisticated bomb.

All very depressing, but the point is that controlling the material is what's important. The idea that it takes a government to build the gadget itself is just plain silly, unless you're talking about a fusion device.
I would gladly contribute free software to government the same moment I start getting free health care, education, housing, electricity, child care and other things. Until then, no thanks. I pay taxes, and that's enough of the contribution to the society from my side.
I know that it's superficial, but I have an extremely hard time taking a blog post interspersed with large meme pictures seriously. I think you should only use them if your target audience is teens, and when you're near their age as well, trying to write something "popular". Definitely not when attempting to write a serious post.

Note that this is the same blog that recently started a post[0] with:

TL;DR? Why not just go watch another five second video of a kitten
with its head in a toilet roll, or a 140 character description
of a meal your friend just stuffed in their mouth. “nom nom”.

which makes this seem quite ironic.

Ask HN: Senior developer, moving to USA
Hello All,
I had some queries which i had posted on another thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6231688 in which i had asked couple of questions. One of the questions asked was: is 130K-150K salary range correct when discussing with HR if the job is in NYC?
one of the commenters mentioned that i should not be surprised if i was asked in a range of 75K-100K.
My questions is is this true for a 10 years experienced programmer in C++ and Java moving from Hong Kong to NYC?
I always thought that given my experience AND knowledge/expertise/etc (please note the AND emphasis) getting a salary above 130K in NYC was easy. Am i reading the market wrong?
Well there is certainly a difference between handing money to someone who is unfortunate and handing money to someone who is irresponsible.
SVMs are lickety-split simple. You're drawing the best line/plane/hyperplane between some points. You can turn this into a nice convex optimization program, given some conditions. If this thing isn't fully separable, you can fudge it a little with some penalty terms, or you can cheaply project these points into some space where such a separation does exist. The hard part will always be your feature extraction, labeled data collection, and the parameter tuning for everything I just waved my hand at.
Would be nice to have a [2004] appended to the article.
any way you slice it people are going to die and make grave errors. but open transactions between researchers and free human beings would have drugs evolving much faster than unaccountable and corruptible overlords. reputation systems could replace much of their most important functionality.
Glad to see NJ as a living option. It's great and highly underrated compared to the trendier boroughs. I've lived on the NJ Gold Coast and worked in Manhattan for my entire professional life, and quite happy with it.

There's no need to live way out in the NJ suburbs with a lengthy train commute; there's quite decently affordable apartments within range of the Path subway in Jersey City for a 10 minute ride to downtown Wall Street. Or try Hoboken, a bit more costly but with great atmosphere and nightlife if you're into that.

Bonus: NJ sales tax is less, and you dodge the NYC income tax, so that saves another couple $k per year.
Adding a "(2004)" to the title might be an idea. This article came after the range of controversies related to the Dmitry Sklyarov case (he was pursued for his role in creating software to bypass Adobes e-book DRM) as well as DeCSS, that prompted a number of attempts to engineer systems to "bypass" copyright, one of which was Monolith - mentioned in the article - which basically xor's random data with a copyrighted work, which the authors then believed might somehow make someone distributing the files separately immune to copyright infringement claims.

I am not sure if i would be applicable for EB1, since i would be functioning as a senior developer (of some critical SW).
I guess it would more likely be EB2. However, maybe in a year or so if my profile expands, then maybe i can re negotiate and try to get an EB1.

By the way, do you by any chance know what are the likely time frames of getting a LPR for both EB1 and EB2 given that i would apply for LPR as soon as i join office?
