In the 90s there was a big fear of stranger danger, and that your child might get abducted, but maybe that was just pumped up scaremongering. It's much easier to coordinate with a child if they have a cellphone. You can send a text or call, or in a worst case scenario it could be used to triangulate a location.

You have shunned having an active cellphone. That is your choice, which may not be representative of another kid's choice. I don't think parents should force a phone on to their child if the child doesn't want it.
Far far too many
Depends on what you define as 'small'. The smallest amount you can send (right now) is about $0.007 at current prices, which is pretty small for most purposes, especially content monetization. It is smaller than any alternatives by a large margin.

Once Suicidal and Shipped Off, Now Fighting Nevada Over Care
From the gist of the incredible difficult to decipher training manual there are 4 systems. Overview of network topology is here:
http://i.imgur.com/gzw6nAT.png

1) ADMF-Client & Infection GUI

These seem to be HP Compaq computers, running Windows 7 Ultimate, FinFlyISP GUI and a XMPP client(which runs over TLS and is secure).
This is a tool for LEA to use which interfaces with the ADMF backend for managing infections, selection of infection methods, realtime status info and management of all components.

2) ADMF - Central Administration Function

This is the backend which all the LEA terminals in 1 connect to. These are HP DL380 G6 Intel Xeon X5550 @ 2.67GHz servers running hardened Debian(by Dreamlab best practices). It is a core component of their infrastructure and communicates in realtime with all their other component systems. It stores the configuration and initiation of infections. Realtime exchange of info and states(target coming online, being infected, etc.) Contains RFC XMPP used for secure encrypted communications.

3) Network Data processing component (iProxy/NDP01/NDP02)

Infections are remotely activated by ADMF in 2 via the GUI. Each NDP is bridged with 10GB/s fiber bypass module. Incase of hardware/logical failures this module switches automatically to by-pass mode. Thus traffic will never be interrupted. ATTENTION this is highly dynamic bridge, do not change any configuration manually. NDP has been specially configured for his network, any changes are tightly coordinated with Dreamlab.

4) Radius Probe(RP01/RP02)

Realtime monitoring of AAA processes which include:

1. Targets coming online

2. Receiving IP Addresses

3. Changing IP Addresses

4. Going offline

Recording of RADIUS authentications and accounting dialogues. Being always up to date of target IP
RP sends info to ADMF, the ADMF provisions the NDP. Running same hardware/OS as 3. The RPs have bidirectional connection with broadband remote access server(BRAS) [1] which are what connect to the global internet from a ISPs network. BRAS aggregrates user sessions from access network. This is where ISPs can inject policy management and QOS. Aggregrates DSLAM connections from locally dispersed in an ISP area network.

Communications Visualized

The slide explains that communication of all components always is initiated towards the ADMF.

Use Cases

1. GUI->ADMF [Infect a target]

2. ADMF->Radius prove [Start monitoring/set a trap on target]

3. Radius->ADMF->NDP/iProxy [Handover of IP]

4. iProxy->NDP [iProxy requests NDP to analyse datastream on IP and "interesting" traffic]

5. NDP->iProxy [Handover traffic matching request]

6. iProxy [changes traffic and modifies data by adding infection parts]

7. iProxy->NDP [iProxy sends modified traffic data to NDP]

8. NDP Reinject [NDP recalculates checksums/resequences TCP/IP packets and reinjects traffic into the stream]

9. Target infection done [Data successfully sent to target]

I wonder what the author didn't like about sublime text's vintage (vim) mode? I have not used vim, but i have been using vintage mode for about a month now and really love it. I grab my mouse occassionally, but mostly stay out of insert mode and navigate with movement keys. Plus I still have my sublime text environment that I've built up for the past 2 years.

I don't think I could've made it this far by diving in head first. Like it or not, I have to get work done, and when I couldn't get a motion to work right or didnt know the best way to do something, I could fall back on sublimes regular tools.
I hear it's actually not that uncommon for physicists to become data scientists. More importantly though, I was successful in physics as an undergraduate, and it's sort of the academic culture to continue onto to grad school (as well as the culture in my family). In any case, I could always leave grad school if I want to, but I think it's also helping me gain a better computer science background (I've only taken 3-4 computer science classes so far...)

I'm not applying to NASA or SpaceX because I'm really interested in consumer tech, and always have been. Honestly, maybe I have the total wrong idea for what I want to do, and I understand that. That's again why I want to do an internship.

I actually have a Google interview in a couple of weeks. If you don't mind me asking, did you work at Google as a researcher or software engineer?
Read Practical Vim published by the Pragmatic Bookshelf. You'll go from n00b to "pretty good". Takes a long time to work your way through the text, as it's both thick and very dense, but every single page will empower you further.
I just got a letter in the mail telling me that I'm a beneficiary of a successful class action lawsuit against my bank for doing this.

They took Google for that reason among several others.
I've definitely been guilty of this. It took me months of struggling, hoping people will use my product before I really thought deeply about why they'll use my product. Successful products address real needs. Intrinsic motivation trumps all else.

"Build something people want" and "find a pain that people need solved" are the same things. While I don't think the four examples OP gave are the only things people care about, they're great examples:

- How will this make me more money?
- How will this save me more money?
- How will this save me more time?
- How will this make me look good?

Those questions address real needs that people have. Anything that doesn't directly address a need your customer has is just a feature.

Implicit in this is that you have to figure out who your customer is. Your customer is the first person you'd ask to use your product. That's the person whose needs you need to address.
I don't deny that culpability exists. I think that normal CrossFit gyms won't come close to meeting the criteria for culpability. I've been to several gyms and I've never seen anything even close.
> Consumers care about attractive designs, user-friendly interfaces, and innovative features.

Tangentially- when I went to check out the Z10 it was locked in a demo mode. I couldn't figure out how to look at anything on the phone that they didn't want me to see with "helper" sales pitch notes. I finally found a real phone one of the employees was carrying and was able to try it out (and buy something different).

I couldn't believe they (or AT&T) would think so little about their customers and providing a real experience on the device. It insulted me. Maybe it changed later...
Ohhhhhh. I was wondering who he was referring to. They do kind of look alike but seems like a hard mistake to make.
> Ditch BlackBerry OS, install Android (with their custom BES encryption used in the enterprise [2])

I'm confident if someone would come in to the Android world and do an enterprise-focused build that can have support sold, they'd kill the market in a good way - like what RedHad did for Linux. A very closely-forked branch that is never more than a few months behind AOSP, but had all the reliability and security of what BlackBerry used to provide would be amazing.
It sounds like you may be projecting your difficult experience with your parents on LCK. I don't get the feeling he is nearly that hardcore. Also, denying access to bad habits is quite different than destroying books with "dangerous" ideas.

Agreed I experienced this VIM, emacs...and also surprisingly linux.

I tried switching to Ubuntu from OSX as many times as I tried abandoning Textmate for VIM.

The thing that made me finally keep using Linux was using a very stripped down version called "Arch Linux". This made me appreciate the basic fundamentals of the operating system, with no fluff [1].

It was rough around the edges at first but you learn how to deal with quickly.

I eventually switched to larger and easier-to-use Linux distros like Fedora/Debian. But whenever I run into problems with them, I have the experience to understand/fix it from working with Arch.

I now have no interest in going back to OSX and use VIM obsessively.

Many comedians will say this too: the only way to get motivated to be successful is with your back against the wall. Being partially comfortable makes you complacent.

You're getting downvoted but I think that's a fair point. I think I addressed it though: that fits into the fun aspect.

Unfortunately if you get folks to workout and then they injure themselves, as frequently happens in crossfit, you have other problems too.
Just so I understand, you actually did a software engineering internship, but ended up in a more data science role, right? I'm curious just so I better understand if even the standard software engineering role internship helps for more than just software engineering jobs after grad school.

It also strikes me as odd that this person had no offers after that many interviews, but the truth is that there are a lot of other factors that go into these decisions. Maybe this person wasn't the best at communicating? Maybe this person sold himself as an all-around generalist, and the companies didn't really know what to do with him?

Otherwise though, I'm happy to hear about physicists going into tech!
> 6) No Accountability – Canadians are too nice

As a Canadian that has worked outside the country, I seriously wonder if this isn't the biggest fault of Canadian companies. This alone could be the reason RIM failed.
Maybe because Blackberry just halted a worldwide rollout of their Android AND iPhone BBM product without saying why?

If this isn't a service-overload issue, I'm having a hard time imagining what kind of problems this unreleased Android version could have caused.
>>There are dumb people. Try not to be one of them.

Peer pressure can make smart people do dumb things. And since Crossfit has peer pressure and competition built into its very core, the rates of injuries and potentially-fatal medical conditions like rhabdo are a lot higher.
That's one reason it's actually a good thing that the affiliates are so loosely regulated. Everyone respects Mark Rippetoe, no matter if they entirely agree with his assessment of Crossfit or not, and everyone knows that Greg Glassman is a second-rate jackass (even if they give him credit for popularizing the idea of Crossfit in the first place.)

The fees to transfer bitcoin are nothing compared to the fees to get bitcoin. You need to be really savvy and find a local trader or else you are paying funding fees, trading fees and withdraw fees.

Even on localbitcoin prices are usually marked up above the current exchange rate over multiple points of exchange.

The biggest advantage to bitcoin is painless refunds, and of course no central authority to regulate anything.
How is that to the detriment of every contributor? They can simply opt out of using that driver. Are you implying that Cisco, Juniper and Apple don't have the expertise to exclude drivers that they don't want?

You are trying to decide for those "few" people that they are better off without working drivers. Maybe some people do like having working graphic cards or working sound. It takes a quite fundamental approach to ignore practical use over idealism present in a license text.

Not that this discussion matter much... FreeBSD has a linux compatibility layer, which mean they can often run said GPL drivers through its port system. Its only with the base system that useful drivers get thrown out with the bath water in favor of license purity.
I press d, then w, and the word is gone!

There's got to be a better reason to use vim than this. I mean...the standard for every other editor is ctrl-shift-left arrow, then the delete key and the word is gone! Whoopee.

It works in most editors, even Microsoft notepad and this textarea I'm typing in right now. I use unfashionable, clumsy old eclipse most of the time and could probably list 100 important things it does that vim never could. Things that actually matter. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt vim can launch and debug and continuously deploy to Apache tomcat. That sort of thing.
This is what I find ridiculous about the software industry. On one hand, everything is highly derivative. Python, Ruby, C#, whatever, is just a warmed over syntactic variation of the same basic technologies that have been in existence since the early 1970's. On the other hand, the industry is hyper-focused on finding people with exactly the experience in the particular warmed over rehash that happens to be the blue plate special this week.

I don't have any plugins for this stuff. I just do:

nnoremap <Leader>b :buffers<CR>:buffer<Space>
nnoremap <Leader>n :bn<CR>
nnoremap <Leader>p :bp<CR>

My <Leader> is space. So "space+b" opens up my buffers, I type a few letters that match a file and Tab to autocomplete it, then press enter to open it. I also use ctrl+shift+6 to quickly switch between the 2 most recent buffers.

So I'd give that a shot. If that doesn't work for you, try just ":tabe <file>" for your three files, then ctrl+pageup, ctrl+pagedown (or gt, gT) to quickly switch between them.
Doesn't that open a market for local "beekeepers" to buy honey from China and package it up with inkjet printed labels and hand screwed lids that say "local from <insert town>"? Placebo and power of suggestion is strong. I often wonder myself if produce I am buying at farmers markets a really authentic or just resold produce from grown on a large agro-business farm someplace across the country.

Also, I am a ware of a scheme that is importing Chinese garlic into Western Europe through Eastern Europe. You see Chinese garlic much like honey is banned there. Yet unbeknownst to them West Europeans (Germans, French) have been chowing down on Chinese garlic for a while now. The way it works it like this. A large shipment is brought into a city next to the EU border. Then small paid cargo van drivers make lots of trips across the border seemingly as local farmers going about their business. Then it is either sold at farmers market or "local" farmers buy it from them and sell it as "local" produce. Easy peasy.
It is great to see an entrepreneur tackling an issue that will benefit the world (in a huge way) vs tackling an issue that will make someone build wealth for themselves.

I abstain from LinkedIn deliberately and I can confirm that I am sick from their spam.

Every time a friend joins their network, I get tons of “invitations to connect”, despite the fact that I have “unsubscribed” from their spam-list (to which I never subscribed in the first place) enough times.

Real professionals should not need spammy social networks to prove themselves.
>>After you went out of your way to thank someone for an anecdote that confirmed your bias...

You sound hopelessly confused. We are not discussing anecdotes. We are discussing actual statistics provided in the original article that clearly showed Crossfit to have much higher rates of injuries and potentially-fatal medical conditions.

When you put the burden on new people to figure out whether their affiliates are high quality, you are blaming the victim. Most beginners are not capable of accurately assessing whether the types of workouts done in Crossfit and the manner in which they are done are healthy or not. What they do is read reviews of the gym on the Internet and see all the five-star raves, then visit the gym and see everyone cheering each other on and having a good time, and think, "hey this is cool, I want to be a part of it too!" Are they supposed to know about normally ultra-rare conditions like rhabdo? Or should Crossfit do its fucking job and keep its affiliates in check?
Although it may seem off-topic I'm glad to see this on HN. Many people here have commented on the 'homeless problem' in SF, often being critical of both the homeless themselves and of city policy. Not bigoted, mind - just critical, and often with a solid basis in fact. but it's also a fact that other places have been systematically dumping mental patients on California and SF in particular.
Well it's the classic Henry Ford quip: "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said 'faster horses'."

That doesn't mean that there wasn't a more fundamental pain that people were feeling: getting around more quickly.

So no, it's not always the best idea to solve the problem the person has, as they literally describe it. But if you are not solving either their perceived problem or their underlying real problem, they are not going to buy your solution.

Few people imagined an iPhone before they saw one, but it did solve real problems.

By and large, comparing chemical engineering to software development is misguided. Software development isn't an engineering field, i.e. the application of a refined theoretical framework to a concrete problem. It's more like carpentry. There's a few basic theoretical principles, but by and large it's just building things. You can spend a lifetime becoming an expert carpenter, and that can be very valuable, but nobody gets a PhD in carpentry because by and large there's not much there that's theoretically interesting.

There are many areas that are theoretically rigorous, of course. Machine-learning/AI, crypto/security, graphics, audio, video, etc, and unsurprisingly a PhD is quite valuable for programmers in those fields.

I'm quibbling with a quibble, but I don't agree that it's orthogonal to closures.

Your example doesn't really demonstrate the eponymous "closing" aspect of the closure and doesn't solve the problem that the OP is calling out. Closures are functions that refer to non-local variables. [1] [2] Whether the language provides lexical or dynamic scoping [3] is critical to how and when closures can be used in that language.

Because if you live in the Apple ecosystem already, it makes tons of sense and is a welcomed addition to get the content you probably already have on to the one screen it wasn't yet on. My 10+ year iTunes collection sounds great coming out of my sound system, and I can control it from my iPhone. Being able to mirror my MacBook to my TV is also pretty great, and with Mavericks, it will have second-screen capability in addition to plain mirroring.

Also, iTunes content hasn't had DRM in years now, idiotic or otherwise.
How to fail startup weekend
Hi guys,

We are a team at Perth startup weekend nearing the deadline after pivoting and failing like 3 times.

Our last ditch effort pivot would be to validate if there is a market for startup failure stories, content, or analytics by using our journey as a starting point.

If you like what we are doing please upvote us.

Samsung is trying to corner that market with Knox.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Knox

Android also started to include and adopt patches from SEAndroid project from NSA (I realize saying it after the leaks now would make some shake their heads disapprovingly).

Knox + SEAndroid patches is basically starting to move in the direction of cornering the enterprise mobile market.
They themselves said "..this unreleased version caused issues". That could be referring to anything - including service-overload issues but I don't know why that would be that surprising.

This is exactly why companies like to have tight control of the roll-out of new products. They want to find these types of bottle-necks and glitches in rather controlled environments.
Once again, your comments are on the mark. I'm a systems PhD and wow ... it seems messed up. I don't feel satisfied writing yet another paper that no one will read. At the same time, I feel a CS undergrad with 3-4 years of industry experience is better at writing professional software than me. It feels like a kind of purgatory. I have my gripes with academia but I worked very hard to earn my PhD. I'm very surprised that the PhD ended up being worth a lot less than what I thought it would be worth. I'm not even talking about financial compensation - I'm talking about lack of opportunities. I thought a systems PhD would mean I could always get a job in industry ... so not true :(

The enabler for the death of Blackberry was Microsoft Exchange / ActiveSync. When executives realized that the much cooler, fun, life-integrated iPhone could also hook into their email, that forced IT's hand in allowing alternative platforms.

If the iPhone didn't appeal to the top tier, the Blackberry would have reigned supreme in corporations.
