I don't see where in that statement it is implied that the differences should be attenuated for their own sake, and not because of some negative consequences that that researcher believes altered sleep schedules have. The article itself states that the causal relationship between being a night owl and certain negative outcomes is hard to clearly establish, but the tone of the article suggests that many experts suspect such a relationship.

You may disagree with his beliefs, but to claim that an expert in the field is ignorant, just because his statements don't accord with your own experience, is ridiculous.
Ambition | Chattanooga, TN | Full Time

Ambition is essentially "Fantasy Football for Sales Organizations" where managers can choose/weight metrics for employee-based teams to compete over across seasons. Increases employee productivity through competition and employer efficiency through automation. Demo is available here: http://tryambition.com

SEEKING WORK - San Francisco / remote / travel to exotic locales

Specializing in: Ruby, Rails, iOS, OpenGL ES, GLSL shaders, 3-D simulation, real-time physics, and C++ across all platforms.

Available for short and long term contracts or consulting for any of: coding, modeling, documentation, design guidance, architecture assessment, instruction, mentoring, and/or presentation. Communicating complex concepts into a form comprehensible to all is one of my particular talents.

I'm a very experienced, broad-spectrum, full-stack programmer and software architect. With a clear separation of concerns and rigorous refactoring--while avoiding unnecessary vendor and platform lock-in whenever feasible--my work is elegant, thorough, and maintainable. Seek elsewhere for disposable code.

Why is it that when any other countries doing the same, it will be heavily criticize and be named and shamed on nearly all sort of Newspaper and media.

Yet US is no difference. And there is countless other examples.

I am going to be very brave and say this.
Americans, you cant blame people in other parts of the world hate you.
Hmm, I guess that's where I got it wrong.

My first few months of lurking on HN, I saw a lot of positive, encouraging posts & comments. Only when I started commenting did I begin to notice a few acerbic ones popping up here and there. I suspect I was looking at things with rose-tinted glasses and never quite readied myself for the 'darker' moments.

Ah well, I learn something new everyday. As an aside, I have been working on something on the 'create a spot' bit you mentioned - as part of my self-learning process - but it is still along way from being an HN or anything like it. :)
Thanks! It's all to do with getting to know the system. Popular HN threads have a certain logic to way people format link titles. ;-)

Not a criticism, but I believe you have misinterpreted the meaning of "imposter syndrome". Imposter syndrome is when someone experienced and who gets credit for their accomplishments does not believe they deserve the credit or praise they receive. If you are a newbie, as you say, then by definition you cannot suffer from imposter syndrome.
> Constructive, no. Especially to someone who didn't understand enough not to do this in the first place

That's the whole point of the comment - to tell them not to do this! If we knew they did this on purpose just to piss us off, we wouldn't make the comment to begin with. We'd just put "Asshole."

In general it's not good or useful to present comments in a negative way, because negative comments cause a negative reaction from the intended recipient. But they're still getting the information that there was something specific they need to improve upon. So it's still constructive, it's just also rude.
I feel like Data Science is not a real academic field, and it's not something you need a college degree in. The programs are so new and rudimentary, the universities don't really even know what to teach the students in an "Intro to Data Science" class. But it's a buzzword in the media, and there's employer demand now, so I think that universities saw the $$$ and just ran with it.

It's really more of a technical skillset and toolset for statisticians and other actual scientists who use statistics to test their hypotheses. Make Intro CS, Relational Algebra and Set Theory, and Computational Statistics electives for Bachelor of Science degrees. This really doesn't need its own degree program, and neither did "business intelligence" back when that was the buzzword for this. Universities aren't for "latest tools and fads" training.

I know we can't be an ideal fit for everyone, but please don't downvote just because you dislike the concept. A lot of people on this thread are at least curious about the idea. They should get a chance to see the post.

That said, feedback is most welcome. If you have comments, please share them here or contact me at andrew [at] getlambda [dot] com.
I never said they were all the same. Given a specific need / situation, I'm sure one OS will be better fit than the others.
Ie : serving web content, playing AAA games (although it might change soon), and so on.

Regarding your point on distros, I think it is, excuse me, a bit off :
while you certainly are an advanced Linux user, you need to keep in mind most of the computer userbase will certainly not be as confident as you to install tricky packages in CLI .

The UI is there to ease your work, not to hinder you, especially when you are part of the 90% of users which consider a computer as nothing but a tool.
Washington, DC -- Software Developer (full time), Director of Engineering

NGP VAN (http://www.ngpvan.com/) is the market leader in integrated political campaign software and we serve only progressive candidates/organizations including the Democratic Party and President Obama's 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns. We're looking for a few more talented software developers to join ~50 other developers in DC & Boston as we ramp up product development efforts on the next versions of our SaaS products in advance of the 2014 mid-term elections. See a bit more about us, our perks, and our culture on our CoderWall page: https://coderwall.com/team/ngp-van

In particular we're looking for folks that want to help change this country for the better and are interested in filling one of the below two open positions.

Software Developer (focus on client-side & server-side JavaScript)

- AngularJS (or another SPA framework/library)
- node.js
- Heroku & AWS
- NoSQL databases such as DynamoDB, Redis, MongoDB

Director of Engineering (lead the ~20 staff spread across DC & Boston working on our fundraising product)

- .NET/C#
- ASP.NET MVC
- ElasticSearch
- RabbitMQ

Please email me directly at tgoode@ngpvan.com if interested. Include a brief note about why you think you're a match and a link to your GitHub/BitBucket/etc profile.
Hmm. If this is true, then why do there seem to be more (and more successful) tech start-ups in the US under the pre-Obamacare system than there are in, say, the UK, where almost all healthcare is covered by taxes and is free or nearly free at the point of use?

I guess it's not implausible that there's a separate factor that makes the US a better place to do a startup, and the current healthcare situation counts against that factor. But still.
I'd probably have read your comment in a positive light if you weren't so aggressive. The author would probably like to you to be civil to them as well. Is this so hard?

Any retroactive pay will have to be specifically specified for furloughed employees in further budgets. There is no requirement for retroactive pay. Any retroactive pay is a "goodwill" gesture for saying "Sorry we messed up so bad." The very definition of furlough is a temporary unpaid leave.

Even if this is done, there are plenty of people furloughed today who will never ever get paid (contractors).
Good stuff !
> No, there’s no harm starting at the lowest rung; you do, after all, start at the bottom and make your way to the top. However, it is a bloody outrage when the lowest rung is treated exactly the way Shudras were treated in early-India.

I sort of see what you are trying to say but I don't think this is an apt analogy. Yes, when you start you might tend to get a RTFM from more experienced developers (often rightfully so) but no one is holding you to a class. Asking the right questions and trying to see what the commenter/user is really trying to say might be more helpful in the long run.

> You never know, your vitriol might just end up killing the next-big-thing on the internet.

Who knows? You just might uncover a really big pain point the same way.
Ev Williams Shares the Secrets of the Internet
Gradients from Nature
These kinds of posts are tiring - the Internet White Knight is a tired meme, and has been tired for almost twenty years. Unless you can provide a solution to the problem, you're just creating noise - something, like assholes, that the Internet certainly does not need more of.

Social networking on a grand scale has been around for almost 30 years, and in that time the Internet has remained skeptical, critical, and slightly negative.

Lets think about why that is for a second. The Internet is built on ads. Not content, not content creators, and not Google. Advertising drives the machinations of the Internet and there are very few large sites out there that aren't advertizing driven.

When the underlying pulse of the Internet is marketing, it's no wonder that people take a reserved and slightly negative approach - they don't know whether they're experiencing something genuine or being fed bullshit, and sometimes the answer is both.

So please, be a bit less of an anti-asshole and a bit more understanding about why people take this tack in their online personas - it isn't about an inherent negativity of their personality, but rather a defensive mechanism that they've subconsciously developed due to the reality of what the Internet is - a marketing platform.

We have a great team and a great environment that focuses on customers and product development. When I'm working on product stuff, I get to collaborate with product / UX / support people day to day to build a product that meets a real business need, and makes everyone happy. But when I just need to bang out some code, people leave me alone. When I'm working on platform or architectural stuff, I get great advice and feedback from my coworkers. Expressing opinions and having discussion is encouraged.

There is a common distinction between Human Rights and Civil Rights. All of them vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction but the former are granted regardless of citizenship and the later only to citizens of a state.

To foreigners and law layman it often seems that the wording of the U.S. constitution means Human Rights but that has often turned out not to be the case and those are more understood as Civil Rights. Personally I have the feeling that there are no Human Rights in the U.S. given what we know about Guantanamo and NSA surveillance but I'd like to hear a more knowledgeable opinion about that.

Don't take it personal, it just false-positived on "competitive salaries"

https://github.com/rowanmanning/joblint/blob/master/lib/rule...

clearly joblint needs some tuning, maybe a negative match if the term "competitive" is followed by the term [salar[y|ies]|compensation].
I think it's worthwhile looking at this short statement on the HN guidelines:

Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face to face conversation.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is an idiotic thing to say; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
