> then what does it matter which is which?

because implementation details matter, like the given example, demonstrating the ability to factor large numbers, without giving away the algorithm that does so.

In this case, we've defined a function, PrimeFactor(x), which returns the prime factorization of x.

you can write a naive program that computes PrimeFactor(x) by brute force. it will be slow but it will work. let's call this ProgramA.

let's say I write a magic, genius program that computes PrimeFactor(x) in constant time. This is ProgramB.

Given ProgramA, and ProgramB, you can correctly assert that ProgramA(x) == ProgramB(x) for all x.

If you ran A and B through a indistinguishability obfuscator to obtain ObfuscatedProgramC and ObfuscatedProgramD, the assertion that C(x) == D(x) holds, but you'd have no way of telling whether C comes from A or B (apart from runtime, which is ignored here)

By the same token, you couldn't tell if C and D both came from A, or both came from B, or any other possible program that correctly computes PrimeFactor(x).

so in theory, an indistinguishability obfuscator allows someone to know what a program computes, but not how it computes it, and implementation can matter a great deal.
I think you may have come to the wrong forum but I'll try to give you a hand anyway.

To answer your question about "Has anyone hacked seduction?", I'd suggest that the PUA authors you've read would suggest that they have, but it doesn't seem to be working for you. I suspect that much of that stuff is just tricks and games to try and get you laid, and the problem (I suspect) is that any smart-enough woman would (hopefully) see right thought it.

From what you've written, I'd suggest that it isn't your looks, or that you are boring. I'd suggest that it is exactly as you suggest yourself, you're not confident.

I think your therapist is wrong about becoming confident when you reach your goals (somebody please help me out here). Look around, see how many over-confident douche-bags have no goals, or haven't done anything meaningful, yet that doesn't stop them from being confident, does it?

I think what you're therapist is trying to say isn't that you won't feel sexually confident until you get laid, but rather you need to be comfortable with who you are, and then you'll find the confidence in being you. It may be a subtle difference, but confidence doesn't come from ruling the world, it comes from accepting and appreciating who you are.

I like to think of a Buddhist Monk. Do they seem confident to you? What do you think gives them that confidence?
Native Client, Android, ummm, pretty much any environment that is encapsulated in a sandbox.
I wonder what is going to happen to all those US citizens living abroad with the new health insurance requirements..
Will they be forced to pay even they can't benefit from the services ?

( Specially if they are already covered by their host country healthcare system. )

Well it uses the old theory of "On the Internet nobody knows you are a dog" where one can just fake an online identity and write an award winning article or blog that is a complete and total fake, and people won't know the difference.

I mean this Veronika character was complete faked and made up, but he left hints like "The Matrix" and a second life profile and other stuff as breadcrumbs for this other guy to follow and learn the truth.

So I bet that whole sexism in video games award winning blog article was complete fiction? I wonder how many other blog articles are like that?
You have to assume people care about fashion. I don't but I guess since my wife works at Tommy Bahama and I get cheap nice stuff I shouldn't make any statements. But generally I dressed like slob before then. Its just now I dress like a slob in fancy slob clothes. :)

Vatican bank publishes first ever annual report
4 - I...somewhat disagree. I spent a few weeks looking into current and future 3d printing tech, and outside of some very limited use-cases would I consider that the output quality and materials mix from any 3d printing tech to be a threat to traditional manufacturing.

It's a nice idea, but it's just very very far away from happening.

Even relatively simple items right now are not something that are even close to being duplicable in any current or emerging 3d printing tech.

For example, there is nothing on the horizon that will enable me to 3d print the equivalent of a working $5 104-key keyboard.

Now if I want to buy all the electronics and internals and spend a few hours printing and assembling a custom keyboard (because my time is free right?) then yeah, I might be able to 3d print something of use.

I'm actually looking around my office now and every thing I see fits into 1 of two categories

a) Not feasible to 3d print the item e.g. a keyboard

b) Cheaper to buy it and get it some other way e.g. the red Solo cup I'm drinking some water out of
Sounds like a really great processes and I bet it was worth investing in. When we get to the scale of having enough dev power to do this, while also innovating on the core, certainly! Thanks for sharing.
so that's why their main site hasn't been updated in quite a while.
Ah yes, Native Client. I assume Android allows it since it runs V8.
Codified http://www.codified.co - Toronto, ON & Montreal, QC

We're one of the fastest growing startups in Canada, and we're still in private beta!

We're building a brand new type of social marketplace and have significant traction and engagement. We're currently seeing ~80mm page views/month and 34% daily actives across 3 platforms (web, iOS, Android). In case you're not familiar with metrics, these are insane numbers. CEO has successfully built/sold startups in the past. We're also VC funded.

Our team consists of 14, mostly technical, guys and gals. We have offices in Toronto and Montreal.

We only hire extremely talented, smart, nice people we'd want to hang out with. Our team of engineers is unanimous: this is the best, most talented team they've ever worked with. And we want to keep improving it!

These are the key positions we're looking to fill right now:

* Senior Android Engineer - Our Android app is still new and constantly growing in popularity.
* Intermediate/Senior iOS engineer - Half our traffic comes from iOS!
* Interactive Designer (UI/UX designer) - looking for someone who can design fun and catchy stuff rather than corporate and boring. Everything design/branding-wise needs to be done. We're running on Bootstrap right now and we're not so proud of it. ;-)

These positions are open in either Toronto or Montreal. We'd love to chat with you to see if there's a fit. Please reach out by email at jobs@codified.co .

Thanks!
> The replacement of /bin/sh is not replacing bash. Bash has not been replaced.

Bash has been replaced in its role as /bin/sh. If you're disputing that, I'm confused or baffled. If you're not disputing that, and simply pointing out that most systems are configured to have bash installed and to use bash as the default shell, you're addressing a point I already conceded instead of answering the question I posed: how is it not fair to say that replacing bash with dash in the fairly-central role of "shell which executes system scripts" makes bash "less central"?
While nothing like the Bay Area and LA, there are quite a few jobs available on the Central Coast. The catch is that they are almost always filled via personal connections rather than job announcements.

Getting Meteor to 1.0
The Middle.
Started in a rural town in eastern europe in 1998 when the internet first came to town. Didn't even have a computer of my own. Just figured if I could make things that the world can see from the middle of nowhere and with no money at age 13, nothing could beat that.(I'd seen censorship in my country so that was a big selling point)

Volunteered at internet cafes, so I could use their machines at night and learn html/css/js via the web (no software required). Started a web dev business soon after and ran that for 5 years before coming to the US. There was no school for this kind of stuff anywhere nearby and I was too young to go to college in my country so there you have it. I got my CS degree in the US years later.

In reality most CS programs can't teach you even a quarter of what you need to know to be a great developer. Tech moves too fast to be teachable. The best just learn faster, and dig deeper than the rest on their own via web communities, head-to-wall action, and resources available to everyone.
The community indeed. I'm still a /. reader, but I have to say, it is very occasional that I do not know what the comment will be before opening them.

Most of the +5 comment are traditional /. "meme" (OSS good, closed-source bad, MS bad, Google good, ...) and their counter of course. That has always been the case to some extend (that's /. DNA), but it has gotten to the point that it is extremely hard to find any type of information whatsoever just an endless battle of people throwing rumours (you would think that the majority of /. reader are board member of major tech corp), group-think opinion or unrelated info at each other to "win".

It reads now like a political blog for teenagers.

HN has great comment, to me that the closest to reproduce the /. experience of 10 years ago (although it could use a good flamewar between friends once in a while) But even the more chaotic reddit manage to show interesting comments on top.

Abnormality
How can you tell I lack confidence? Everytime I think I'm being stoic in my writing, my lack of self esteem somehow shines through.
My sister and I are working on a problem like that:
https://medium.com/p/3fdccaab0956

I believe the term is Artificial Genuine Intelligence so that it can pass a Turning test. Not too long ago I made an alpha test in PHP/MYSQL using a Thesaurus and released the code on Github.

We are working on a specific plan on how to solve this problem. Modeled after how the human brain should work, verses how the human brain fails to get genuine intelligence with most people and ends up with general intelligence instead. It is important to note the difference.

For example we are trying to set up a conscience (ignore my sister's poor spelling in her medium post) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscience that filters out bad thoughts that may harm someone. We are trying to use logic, reason, and critical thinking but haven't yet devised any data structures or algorithms for those yet.

We use Artificial Genuine Intelligence from here:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/00016918699...

Artificial General Intelligence is the sort of AI that won't pass a Turning test. We use general intelligence and genuine intelligence from neuroscience and psychology. Most people don't know the difference.
Have you tried OneNote. It kicks ass in doing bullet lists and todos. easy reordering, checkboxes and flags, pretty cool.
Great idea. Will probably do well on late-night shopping channel shows.
I bought a Logitech M570 recently based on a recommendation here on HN. Haven't looked back since, and it's the first time in my life I've used a trackball :)

My hands aren't enormous, but they're not petite either (I'm 6'2"), and the M570 fits my hand comfortably. As an added bonus, it works with Logitech's unifying receivers, so I have an M185 'normal' mouse on my desk paired to that as well, for when someone else needs the con.

Good luck!
Stop trying to 'hack' it - people you meet can tell if you're just trying to get sex rather than having any interest in them personally. People are not APIs. Someone trying to manipulate another person into sex is just as annoying as someone trying to get money out of you on the street.

Just hang out with women on the basis of them being people and when you meet someone interesting express your feelings simply and spontaneously eg 'I like you.' don't look for anything in particular in return. If the person it attracted to you then matters will take care of themselves.

Forget about the PUA thing. If you're that desperate to get laid, then just hire a hooker. But if you want to have any kind of relationship, then there's no point in trying to force it. The confidence you're talking about above is not confidence that you can get laid at the drop of a hat, but the confidence to go about and do things without obsessing over the question of whether you're going to get laid on any given night.

The plugin the author talking about and used is linked. Most of these can be described as variations on a handful of core functions: logarithmic, s-curve (logistic), and exponential. The stranger ones like the elastics aren't done with straight math formulas, or they're piecewise.
Meanwhile Curiosity, the Mars Rover, isn't moving. Thankfully, there aren't any spacecraft scheduled for mission-critical operations (orbital insertion, for example), or those would go unsupervised, too.

Most all NASA is on furlough, as if people didn't need the money.

A colleague is waiting for word on his grant application from the NIH. Ordinarily his panel (~ 20 people) would converge on Washington this Friday and decide on who gets funded. That is going to be postponed, and it's hard to settle on a date when all 20 are available. Everyone has bought their plane tickets already and cannot use them now; they will have to buy new tickets- again on Federal funds.

Since the application is in already he cannot submit the same to the NSF, as he would have done in case it got turned down.

The immediate cost, and the knock-on cost is immense.
Last year I was a contract worker for a US company while living in Japan. In addition, I had some side income earned, and all this was taxed as a Sole Proprietor in Japan. The paperwork was about 5 pages worth of just filling in boxes with the numbers from my books.

My situation was pretty complicated on the US side, so I enlisted the help of a professional to get everything kosher on my US return. I have never seen such a complex tax return in my life. In the end, it was 40 pages long, and that is not including the FATCA I did seperately. And all that just to show that I owe $0 for US taxes.

However, we are considering moving back to the US, if even for just a year, so I keep my US citizenship for now.

It still blows me away when I go to a root domain and get redirected to example.com/home or something similar. Or sites that append slashes to all URLs, but the content links to the slash-less copy, forcing every click to hit the server twice. Gah!
The fact that you're asking the question in the first place, and saying things like 'am I boring' and so on.
> The front page changes so fast. Some great sites and articles fall through like grains of sand through a sieve.

Just like reality. People who expect to gain public recognition have always had to face the fact that there are as many voices clamoring for attention as there are people.

> There really isn't any point commenting or submitting to HN now.

Your premise is valid, but your conclusion isn't.
I felt similar confusion when I read that slug.

"Create visualizations from your spreadsheet data"

That's what this does. The "missing link" cliché didn't score any points with me, but the product looks extremely cool.

One other point of feedback, I clicked the "How it works" link, and when the page scrolled down, the animation was already on step 4, but that text is small, so I didn't realize I was watching the last step. I was a bit confused.

Maybe consider using a scroll position detection library to hold the animation until the user has it in view, or use something more clear to indicate which step is being illustrated:
