I would love to buy this and interface to it via the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi.

Perhaps the Pi could even piggyback onto the stack cube itself, and you could house it inside some kind of a glass container with inputs and output ports accessible from the outside.

It'd certainly be a conversation starter, and let's face it, who doesn't love core memory?
There is luck involved, but it's pretty small. http://bitcoinchain.com/pools
Aww man. I used to live right around the corner on 3rd street. I don't know if midtown is still as colorful these days, but about ten years ago if you saw an attractive female walking around after dark you could rest assured it was a man. Rural Jersey is slightly less exciting..

That wasn't remotely the thrust of my comments and you know it. I also (correctly) predicted you would hop on the bitter swan song instead of, you know, the half-dozen reasons why this sucks immediately prefacing it. Also, that's two employees who have posted Rajiv's words as rationale for the blog post; can we go for three? Shouldn't you be hiring Rajiv at this point, as hard as you're riding him?

Address something smaller and bite-sized, like preempting MelbourneIT's statement with your own and speculating on their behalf. Can you at least defend that inappropriateness? Can we start there?

Your company provided guidance and connections, which makes this statement inappropriate. Or did CloudFlare do something that has been left out of all statements?

I am not annoyed by your "good deed". I'm annoyed by how hard and how inappropriately you are capitalizing upon it as a PR coup, before the ashes have even settled. The victim tone is discouraging for this conversation, I have to say, and it's quite unbecoming.
I've never watched Louis CK, so I'm might take a look at this. I've only heard good things about him.

I've always preferred British comedy over all others though, so I was a little disappointed not to see the likes of Dara 'O Briain or Michael McIntyre.
Could not agree more. It's unfortunately a common (and obviously automated) way to get page views. Extremely aggravating.

Put a list of related articles at the end. But don't underline terms like "radiation pressure" and expect me be happy when you don't immediately tell me what that is. And especially don't put the article I'm reading as the first result.
To be fair, they likely get a lot of applictions, and some portion of those applicants may be mentally ill in some way, possibly on drugs, or may otherwise be truly abysmal employees who don't care about anything. Tests like those can weed out people who clearly shouldn't be considered.

They have no place at a serious company hiring for a technical position, though. Usually 10 or so minutes of face-to-face talking is more than enough to tell you if your candidate is mentally ill, on drugs, or a major asshole.
Should Everyone Work in Consulting? (At Least for a Few Years)
Ask HN: How can I market my iOS games to older folks?
In my numerous though anecdotal experiences of talking with my retired parents and other AARP card holders, it seems that older folks don't read any blogs or app reviews sites or any such thing (at all!) to find out about apps or games for their iPhones or iPads. (I'm iOS-centric, so that's my research area.)

Does anybody have any leads on how/where to get some mindshare for games that squarely target older folks? I'm building games for them by making the games with these attributes:

* free - I've found that older folks really really really prefer free apps in the majority of cases

* clean, aka no gratuitous explosions/animations - From what I can tell, when presented with similar apps, older folks don't want buttons that jiggle all over the place or lots of particle effects. Instead, they want easy-to-read fonts and intuitive UIs

The unfortunate side effect of building games like this are that they are the opposite of what app/game review sites want to publish, because my games are purpose-built to be non-flashy, whereas the review sites want to see "a new twist" on a game or "amazing graphics/theme" wrapped on a game, in order to drive readership. As stated above, older folks don't read that anyways, so I guess it's moot, but it brings me back to my question - how do I get more older folks to try my games? :-)

PS - anybody here write for AARP? ;-)

Neutron stars are bounded by mass, somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 solar units it seems (if it were more massive it would collapse further), so I think their radius is bounded too (since if it was too large then it wouldn't be dense enough to be a neutron star). It seems like the likely radii for neutron stars are around 10km.

There was a grandiose tool at a previous place I worked that was built in-house as a universal deployment tool. It was based on SVN and Rpm with a MySQL backend and an HTTP API, and friendly console and web tools to manage it all.

You could build something as a developer and install it on a machine, and it could run multiple versions of the same application at the same time, including with different ABIs. There were build servers and all the build scripts were automated and vcs-managed. You could package config changes or applications. You could go back and rebuild old crap nobody had looked at in 3 years, and have it actually work. Ops and devs could both use it independently, with ops having the ability to overwrite dev changes. It was slightly clunky, but the functionality was beautiful.

Decentralized, distributed, automated, auditable, and able to support maintenance of pretty much any kind without interrupting existing services. It was fucking sweet, and i've never seen another tool that could match it.

I decided against some silly case/screen protector and mine is still looking as it did the day I received it. I see the magic slip feature as a bonus - no need to leave it casually lying around if you know it will fall.

I compared my phone with a friend's iphone - his was bulked out by the obligatory cheap and nasty case. He had the case because he would not be able to afford to replace his phone should it drop. Meanwhile, with the Nexus 4, you can afford two for the price of one lower-resolution screen iphone. Therefore, only when you have smashed one do you 'need' the case...
Is there a source package for this? I already run my own Persona identity provider and wouldn't mind rolling this out for my family or for my workplace on servers I own

I go slightly further that there's a few companies I actually want to see the Promotions/Updates from, so I drag the email to my Primary tab and those emails will forever show up there.

I as the user, am in control.

And I thank Google for for ranking my email for me, so I don't half to.

BTW, Gmail already had the concept of "Important" email that one could filter their entire inbox by, which I used a lot. While it's not as in your face as the tabs, it had the same results.

Any app giving me a push notification saying "You haven't used this app in 10 days! Want to use it now?" will be uninstalled forthwith, and downrated on the Android Market.

Also, aren't there some guidelines for what sort of stuff push notifications can be used for? This would basically seem to fall under advertisement (self-advertisement, I guess).

I've already bought Louis CK's show directly from his site. Is the beat the avg worth it for the Patrice O'Neal shows?
The article addresses that:

"Unlike U.S. plants, Foxconn and other Chinese manufacturing operations house employees in dormitories and can send hundreds of thousands of workers to the assembly lines at a moment's notice. Workers are subjected to what most Americans would consider unbearably long hours and tough working conditions.

That system gives tech companies the efficiency needed to race products out the door. Plus, most of the component suppliers for tech companies are also in China or other Asian countries. That gives companies the flexibility to change a product design at the last minute and still ship on time."
The only people I know with guns are poor (possibly a coincidence). Are the guns themselves valuable enough to make confronting a gun wielding home owner worthwhile? Does saying you have a gun imply wealth? That's the part I'm not following? What is the actual reasoning?

I've certainly heard some of that, but I don't think it applies quite as much to tech entrepreneurs -- and I've seen more evidence of that in say, Kenya. If you are coming here to build a software company, I would be surprised if Rwanda's arms weren't opened pretty wide.

At this point, Nairobi has more going on in it's tech scene and certainly a more mature market to sell into, but you are right, it's definitely not as safe and transparent as Kigali.
I've seen this happen myself as well, in 3 cases at 2 different companies we wound up firing a person due to those sorts of issues. But in my opinion it should not be (and it was not) a big hassle to fire someone. I've also hired some people I was on the fence about from a personality perspective and have been pleasantly surprised at working with some productive, albeit quirky people.

But, underpinning your story is the blame/cover angle which I completely understand, and would consider an antipattern itself. If a few people screen someone and decide to take a bit of a chance on them from a personality perspective and they don't work out, let them go, learn from it, and move on.
No really, what is it? Does it have something to do with a certain number of people and an inequality among them?
What was the case study about?
Not sure I would call it thin, but today Docker uses LXC as a container provider. But in saying so it misses the point of Docker. Keep in mind also, this is all related to the daemon. Full client capabilities are available on any platform today.

In a previous blogpost, the Docker team outlined how LXC will become a (albeit native) plugin, just like AUFS. Running Docker on BSD (using Jails as the container provider) is certainly a goal. If you're on OS X, you could use chroot instead of full namespacing capabilities.

To be fair, this is not available today. But I don't think it's fair to say that Docker will not be useful anytime soon on those environments.
Possessing a gun not licensed to them is a highly desirable thing for criminals.
Here is a question for the lawyers out there (which I am not): would it be possible to conceive a legal framework somewhat similar in spirit to the GPL, but with the goal of making any patent relying on it free of charge, ie. such that a patent delivered under those terms would be free of use, but also impose the same terms to any patent building up on its content?
But you are also likely to live in the same neighborhood as your friends. So while living in a racially diverse neighborhood may not cause you to interact with people of other other races, it may be indicative if your group of friends is racially diverse.
For those who have not heard it, the Tig Notaro special is the one covered extensively by NPR and various news outlets, after Louis CK declared it one of the "truly great, masterful standup sets". The set famously opens with her revealing to the audience that she was just diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer.

http://www.npr.org/2013/07/26/205540155/tig-notaro-on-going-...

I've only seen a couple sets by Tig, but this set and the Louis CK set alone make it worth the 5-10 dollars for the bundle.

As a side note, it's great to see Humble Bundle expanding into new types of content.
This site keeps track of DRM free comedy specials for $5 or less.

I think you may be taking it too seriously.
Generally they are selling pre-orders in order to fund the development and production costs. In theory, they could use investors instead, but maybe they couldn't find one.
I wouldn't say so, but Tig Notaro's Live I would consider worth beating the average for standalone (even though you don't have to).
Tension and violence are different things. This is still the very recent past, it is unrealistic to expect there to be no tension, especially during times of election or genocide memorials. But there is no denying it is incredibly safe and there has been so much invested in the country in the past 20 years that I just can't imagine anything happening here.
Sure, why not? Humans are animals, after all.
> Why not put special keys for things programmers use, eg: Build, Debug, Step In, Step Over, Step Out, and a special key between Ctrl and Alt just dedicated for ‘Auto Complete’ so we don’t have to hit Ctrl+Space ever again!

Because those aren't system commands, where as media keys are.
That indeed does sound sweet.

This is really not HR's job. HR people are hired for experience with benefits management and bookkeeping; when they try to trend salaries, they inevitably wind up just sourcing extremely dubious data from extremely dubious sites. Most companies would be better off not pretending that HR has any other function than trying to minimize the cost of health insurance to the company.
The periodic table isn't just a nice layout of information, the position of each element in the table provides further information about it. For example, we know gold (Au) is pretty a pretty good conductor of electricity. By looking at the other elements in its group (the column), we can guess that copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) are also good electrical conductors (in fact, some of the best).

Beyond that simple case, there are loads of other bits of information encoded in the position. The image on the Wikipedia article gives a good overview of some of the trends.

Hannibal Buress is probably one of my favorite rising comedians today.

The great thing about this bundle is that you can check out most of the comedians on YouTube, but I definitely recommend buying it.

For #2 I keep the truecrypt file size more like 500MB. Fortunately my projects don't have big files. For old tax returns and the like I have archived truecrypt files that no longer change.

#1 is indeed a PITA. I don't know of a better alternative I trust though. In practice the files I'm changing daily are small and aren't top secret, so I zip them and put the zip file in the DropBox. Then I don't have to unmount the truecrypt volume so often.
MySQL and PHP both released in 1995 or so, there was a lot of movement in the "late 90's" so it really depends on where in there they are actually talking about.

Whether they're synonymous is entirely a matter of your world view with respect to the origin of the state's monopoly on the legitimate use of force, which is the defining feature of a state. Do individuals delegate their right to the use of force to the state, in the process giving them a monopoly on it? Or do states impose said monopoly on the individual, in effect overriding their natural rights? To avoid committing a fallacy here: or is there a third option?

Brings back memories.

I remember IBM 360 "large core storage" devices at the Naval Electronics Lab on Point Loma (San Diego, where I worked as a high school student)--boxes that held a MEGABYTE of core (I think several milliseconds per byte access, so more like a fast DASD), which cost a MILLION dollars. ($1/byte)

We systems programmers thought we were in hog heaven, since most 360 mainframes of the day (1971) had 32KB or 64KB main memories. (Yes, KB.)
Mzungu means white man, surely. In Nyanja (Central Africa/Zambia) at least.
Do most people take "printing money" literally? I assumed that it meant creation of money, not actually printing it. Of course if everyone came to get cash from the banks the fed would literally have to print physical money or the banks would default.

Finally, if the fed didn't exist do you think the free market would allow banks to have such low reserve requirements? I'm guessing that the fear of bank runs and bankruptcy would significantly limit the amount they loaned (created).

As others have mentioned, there are many different British accents. I wouldn't recommend a Cockney accent. However, a nice neutral British accent, like a BBC newscaster is a very good accent to have. Most Americans perceive people with such accents as being more intelligent and more attractive than people with neutral American accents. As someone who grew up in the Midwest and intentionally made my accent more neutral American while living on the East Coast, I have a pretty neutral American accent. However, now that I'm living in Hong Kong, I'm intentionally trying to pronounce my vowels in a slightly more British manner. However, I'm too attached to my Rs to switch to a non-rhotic British accent.

A slight Southern American accent sometimes does cause many Americans to perceive someone as more trustworthy, and some Americans do find a slight Southern accent to be very attractive. Though, be warned that a Southern accent may cause some Americans to perceive you as more stubborn and slightly less intelligent.

You need a society for a government to make any sense. One person defending their property is neither a society nor a government.

Until you have the minimum viable population for our species (i.e. the smallest group of humans that can avoid extinction) you cannot really have a society.
That's not what I said.

What I'm saying is that putting too much faith in tests isn't just something HR do (I've seen people put far too much faith in technical tests), and that HR having a veto isn't per se a bad thing so long as they exercise it sensibly based on things within their expertise.
