Thanks. The Feynman Lectures IP is a treacherous minefield, and it took a lot of effort even to get this far. I'd love to see a Creative Commons license, but I'd be surprised if it happens.

I try to emphasize to the interested parties that, by doing things like giving away online content and using CC licenses, they stand to make more money (if they execute right), but it's a hard sell to people who don't live on the bleeding edge like we do. And since I don't have equity in the project, my efforts in this direction are strictly pro bono.

Billing names are a separate problem from user names. If you're collecting for payment, obviously you have to conform to whatever your API requires, but often it's better to keep billing details separately.

Sorting is another area where it'll vary a lot depending on locale (perhaps you want to sort on last name for example, or not depending on your users) - it might be best to try to guess that from whatever they enter, rather than imposing a structure on them.

Personally I'd choose the simplest solution which works, so no last name/first name, just a name field for display, depending on the requirements, a website/app might need to collect more of course, but for most websites there's no reason to try to control user names or split them up into arbitrary first/last pairs.

Unfortunately, ditching the root CAs is way harder than it should be, and flat out impossible in a lot of environments. Compulsory trust isn't trust.

> I didn't want to do anything drastic, because I'd get fed up and quit.

That, in my opinion, is one of the most important attitudes to have. It's important to be realistic, and be aware of the fact that whatever you are trying to do, it's not just a fad you have to "tough out" for a few months until you get sick of it.

This is something you're going to do for the rest of your life.

We all need cheat days, and we all have bad weeks. The most important thing is to look at the long game, and always just slowly, slowly tend towards eating a few less calories, and trying to burn a few extra calories.

Well, you should persist more then.

For one, that's not a spelling error (all the words are spelled correctly). It's a grammatical error. And not even one due to ignorance: it's merely a typo.

Second, you should expect it to happen much more in the days of low paid journalists, miniscule budgets, fewer (if any) copy editors, tiny advertising margins, and attempts to churn tons of articles as fast as possible to capture eyeballs. This isn't the 1970's Washington Post or New York Times. What we know about editors and proof-reading is almost obsolete in the web these days.

So we're better off appreciating the value (if there's any) of the content itself, instead of letting these kind of things distract us.
I think this thinking is tempting and reasonable, but it misses the role of hormones.

As an example, women gain weight during menopause because of hormones, not because they eat more.[1] So thinking of the body and losing weight as being purely calories in/out misses some important factors; namely, the hormone response to different kinds of foods.

It's uncontroversial that the body responds to carbohydrates with insulin, and also that insulin tends to provoke fat to store more of the available energy vs. it being available to muscles, brain, etc.

Putting that together into "Don't eat too many carbohydrates. Replace with healthy fats like grass-fed butter and meat, eggs, avocado, etc." is controversial; feel free to disagree. I've personally gotten a lot of mileage out of making that change, and even though I eat way more calories I'm 10 pounds skinner, more alert, etc.

That said, basically the anti-carb and anti-fat folks all agree on getting rid of chips, soda, deep fried stuff, so I'm not trying to say that advice won't work.

If this is interesting, it's all cribbed from Gary Taubes's "Why We Get Fat", which I can't recommend enough, lots of good science.

Edit: Added "too many" to "Don't eat carbs", since you do need to eat some, just not nearly what people typically eat.
If you don't stay for the minimum number of days that you have to as an advance notice, I'd say that (if the UK is similar to other EU countries) you'd have to compensate your employer for that. And that would mean something like paying them what they would have paid you for the number of days that you missed, plus any damages resulting from those missing days.

This enforced by law, so if you don't pay, they would just throw you in court.

True enough, but this observation cuts both ways. There are also large groups of mostly-silent religious people who are perfectly reasonable, to a point. Like the atheists, however, many religions allow the prudentialists, perfectionists, and guilt-trippers to shit all over the place. No thanks, to both of them.

As a non-atheist (christian), it's nice to have common ground on this view. It's a shame IMO that U.S. christians are so closely linked with anti-environmentalism (and the republican party, but that's for another day) but stewardship of the earth is clearly called for in both the old and new testaments.
I see it as more a bunch of aspies fighting over technicalities. Unfortunately, the aspies in charge in this case and squashed a valuable use case. There are countless questions where the number of answers is unlimited. StackOverflow tends to be very useless for me since the questions they allow I can lookup quicker in the docs and the questions they don't are the ones that are super useful for me.

A typical allowed question is how to read the gyro on Android. Well that's well documented and useless to talk about further anyway. A typical question not allowed is the best way to make money in your app. This is very valuable to me since I've tried dozens of different ad networks. It took me a long time to figure out Google and AdMob pay terribly vs. all the others, etc.. Hell, even the question they cite as being frat house and not college is really useful to me since I could pickup new jargon, something not straight out of the docs.

Anyway, the site they made for this is here:
programmers.stackexchange.com

Although I still think it is a stupid distinction not to just allow it on the main site. The best content they have for experienced programmers who have passed the point where the main site is useful is shoved off into some ghetto. It is kind of like how you see lots of dead people on Hacker News who actually post interesting and useful stuff. HN bans people who are not outright spammers and trolls just for disagreeing, and it hurts the site.

The reasons to wear a black shirt are far simpler than the author purports: contrast & focus.

I learned this while presenting. If you wear clothing with a slogan, you are giving your audience a potential distraction, or something to read while they should be listening. Even a colored shirt can be a potential distraction, unless it is worn specifically for the purpose of brand association.

This is why you should not wear a clever slogan while presenting, even if it's your own brand.

As a light, Caucasian presenter, I prefer to wear a dark, featureless shirt because it highlights my facial features and directs the audience to my face and speech. Except for my hands, which I can use for pointing or demonstrating a process, in which case, I don't want a long sleeved-shirt to get in the way, and when there are plenty of lights, to stay cool.

Hilariously, they're talking about $10 in 2016.

It will be something around $0.70 less than that, comparing 2013 dollars to 2016 dollars.
$10 might have sufficed over a decade ago.
Not that many. Do you know what their margins are?

It surprises me that people still talk and demand editors and proof-readers in an era where articles are paid 1/5 (or less) of what they were 10-20 years ago, and news outless are crumbling down tiny advertising revenues...

It's like going to a $10 buffet diner in the interstate, and expecting Morton's level steaks...

Seriously, in this day and age, it's like expecting some death-march software project, done with impossible deadlines and shortcutes by low paid programmers, to not have any bugs...
I believe that the idea that China is obstructing a global carbon tax (among supporters of such a tax) mainly comes from racism and is not supported by the facts. However, people oppose global/national carbon taxes for a number of reasons unrelated to racism. I'm not sure why you are concerned with the authority to levy a carbon tax, since (1) such a tax would almost certainly be beneficial and (2) politicians already have essentially unlimited legal authority to raise taxes of any sort.

The way Tor works is that anyone can set up something called a "hidden service". It's basically a website that can only be visited by using Tor.

These websites have a unique URL. For example, Bitcoin Fog's URL is http://fogcore5n3ov3tui.onion/ If you try to visit that using a standard web browser, it won't work. But if you use Tor browser, then it takes you to the Bitcoin Fog hidden service.

Some of those websites were devoted specifically to delivering CP. Now the FBI's reasoning goes like this: anyone who was visiting those websites were very likely visiting them for the purpose of looking at CP.

The FBI delivered an exploit designed to identify as many of those people as possible. So even though no CP was being served, people were still accessing the URL. The malware collected the MAC address and hostname of the computer, then submitted that info to an FBI server. So those people were apparently added to a centralized FBI database.

One way that database might be powerful is if e.g. a politician (or any other government worker) were was identified as a visitor of one of these websites, because whoever controls that database now controls them.
On most days start-up programmers think about carving out a solution for a large enough serviceable, available, market. Time to market matters. Mark it as an open issue and move on. Etc. On other days, programmers are advised that it is culturally insensitive to leave anyone behind. People are mock-scolded that if they don't allocate their efforts to the 0.01% subset of their name system, they are bad people, whatever start-up dream they had.

BTW, my family used the Scandinavian "-sen" system of naming, until the government told everyone they had to stop, that heritable names made tracking easier. I'm one of the thousands/millions of people worldwide locked in as "son of Jens."
Ask HN: Struggling to code; advice on breaking out of the slump?
I struggle to write any code nowadays. Whether it is at my job, or during my spare time, I am often disgusted by the simple coding tasks ahead of me, even if they're part of a project that I myself conjured. I have to exert significant effort to overcome this new mental friction.

Despite this, my employment is reasonably safe, due partially to the quality of work I do eventually produce, and partially to my simple incumbency there. My struggle has seemed to have gone unnoticed by my employer, who continues to give me glowing reviews.

I'm a web programmer, working from home for a tiny company, who has been stable but stagnant for years. There is no career advancement or challenge in my position, but the pay and working conditions are too good to leave the job without good reason.

I have no shortage of side project ideas, some profit-oriented, some intellectual curiosities, but since I struggle to write anything, my Github profile is barren, and my entrepreneurial portfolio is equally empty. Finding the energy to change either seems like an insurmountable challenge.

My poor productivity shatters my confidence; am I a 10x programmer who is just languishing, or am I a hack? I'm pessimistic about finding an job at an A-list company who would give me the kind of treatment I'm used to, while offering challenging and interesting new tasks to boot.

I feel trapped; as I see it, I can either:
A) Work nights and weekends, burning the candle at both ends, and hope that despite all my struggle, I make something compelling before I burn out entirely.
B) Gamble on a change of scenery: Change jobs, arbitrarily. This would mean I'd likely have to commute to an office, which I am lothe to do, and probably take a significant pay cut. Even doing so, I'd have no guarantee that new work would improve my situation.

Has this happened to any of you? How does this not happen to everyone? What am I missing? Any advice on how to break free?

I'm going to head off all the armchair economists, including the two* who have already replied as of 15 minutes after the article was posted.

http://www.igmchicago.org/igm-economic-experts-panel/poll-re...

Here's a real survey of actual economists, who largely agree, weighted by confidence, that "The distortionary costs of raising the federal minimum wage to $9 per hour and indexing it to inflation are sufficiently small compared with the benefits to low-skilled workers who can find employment that this would be a desirable policy."

And, economists are reasonably mixed (split between schools, I believe) on the belief that raising the minimum wage to $9 per hour would make it noticeably harder for low-skill workers to find employment, and no one strongly agreed or disagreed. The evidence, the science, of economics, is mixed, as has been demonstrated by a comprehensive meta-analysis by Doucouliagos and Stanley. You can find a graph and other analysis here:

http://www.cepr.net/documents/publications/min-wage-2013-02....

So, in summary, economists mostly believe the benefits of raising the minimum wage outweigh the distortionary economic effects, and none were willing to make strong assertions on the effect it might have on unemployment. Everyone, put down your pitchforks and take off your party insignias, let's just raise the minimum wage a bit and see what happens, because it benefits a lot of people and there is scant evidence of a downside for a marginal increase in the wage floor.

There is the jQuery Plugin Registry (http://plugins.jquery.com/). There aren't many people using it tho.

There is also a really simple guideline to publish your plugin there: http://plugins.jquery.com/docs/publish/

Currently, there is no way to review which plugin is better. But at least it shows the number of watchers for each plugin, which can be an okay indicator whether a plugin is good or bad.

I don't think it sounds paranoid. I think it's at least plausible.

I only recently learned about parallel construction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction

Basically, the NSA is suspected to cooperate with other arms of the government, such as the DEA. The NSA supposedly provides information about who is involved in what illegal activity. Apparently this information is provided illegally, without a warrant. So if the DEA gets info from the NSA, the DEA needs to make up a story about how they came to possess that info, since that info was collected illegally without a warrant. That's parallel construction.

I don't know whether NSA would bother with a target like Anonymous, but it's not outside the realm of realistic possibility.

The biggest question is, how did the FBI identify Sabu? He supposedly revealed himself by visiting the website 2600.com, and selling stolen credit cards on Facebook. But how did visiting that website reveal Sabu?

Actually, now that I think about it, the best explanation is probably the simplest: 2600.com probably runs forums, and Sabu probably posted to those forums from his home IP address like an idiot. So the FBI simply demanded his IP address from 2600.com.
Yep, and the diet part is the key because while you may burn 400 calories in an hour on the treadmill, you can eat a 400 calorie cookie in seconds. So I agree with the general idea that weight loss is 80% diet and 20% exercise, abs are made in the kitchen not the gym, etc.

Where the exercise comes in is keeping your metabolism from dropping off when you cut your calorie intake.
Congrats on the launch.

I'm the founder of a photo/video service and aside from some initial up front investment in processing of photos (done entirely by us) and videos (mostly done by AWS) the vast majority of time is building the features around the already processed media.

I think this could be useful for a service which isn't that interested in the media itself but wants to put together something pretty quickly. But if the media is your livelihood I don't see it as such a fit.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought based on the video that I would have been a target customer.

Lulzsec was a group of people that split from anonymous. They used "AntiSec" as their slogan. Anonymous is still around and often they either disagreed or completely fought against what Lulzsec was doing.

Ups, good catch. It is from a old blog post from myself [1]. The reasoning was 10 billion people, with first world energy needs ( 10 kW). The alternative to use this number is, that you get a safety factor of 6 to account for using solar as baseload, weather and everything else that dissipates energy.

Edit: Additionally, the power of solar panels used is for England, not the Sahara. The purpose of the posting was essentially a back of the envelope calculation with pessimistic assumptions.

Your proof that this doesn't happen is that you never think about it.

I often think about it, I guess that is proof that it happens...
See, you're doing it. You're making it too complicated, which makes people give up.

It's physically impossible for a body to gain weight if it's burning more calories than it's using.

That's like saying my gas tank will overflow if I burn 10 gallons a day and put in 9 gallons a day... that makes no sense. I'm using more than I'm putting in, so it must go down over time.

Keep it simple, stick to the basics, play the long game (i.e. you're in this for the rest of your life, not the next few weeks/months)
