Hey thanks, I also just want to say that in some way it really sucks and I was in the middle of looking for other paid work.

However, the reason I went into the company is because the company owner agree to try out way to get the company to stage 4 culture as seen on Dave Loganäs tribal leadership

http://www.ted.com/talks/david_logan_on_tribal_leadership.ht...

Yesterday, I emailed her that I will only be able to do paid work for her and told her that I have failed in nudging the company to stage 4, and I am still comitted, at this point I need more resources, and I have not figure out how I can do that.

It was quite a poninat moment.

Sorry for all the spelling on my roommateäs sweedish keyboard. No english spell check.
It's awesome when you can't work without Internet! I am traveling around South America and offline docs and editors are a godsend right now.
+1 for the simple & pragmatic solution w/ cron and not over-engineering this at the current stage!

yeah, I think that is a honest mistake, we both emailed the service provider, they are still invistigaging why she didnät get an email alert
Wow. I'm floored that computational structural biology work is getting a Nobel. I spent a lot of time reading their papers in grad school...they're totally foundational for the field, but the field is still really young:

Martin Karplus' group is behind CHARMM (http://www.charmm.org), which was the first(?) molecular dynamics package (you can think of it as a precursor to folding@home, though it's still under active development, so that isn't a totally fair statement).

Michael Levitt has done a bunch of things, with no one big software package, but he was one of the earliest people trying to do ab initio protein structure prediction. He was also one of the first people to really start categorizing protein structure in a way that allowed for computational modeling -- back in the 70s and early 80s.

Arieh Warshel is probably best known for bridging the gap between quantum mechanics and the (relatively quick-and-dirty) molecular mechanics work. He's done a whole bunch of work modeling enzymatic reactions, coming up with better electrostatic models, and other things where quantum mechanics does a good job, but is way too slow to be used on giant molecules like proteins.
Can you prove there isn't?

Asperger's wasn't "removed" from the DSM-IV, as you claim - it was folded into the broader category of "autism-spectrum disorders".

Good idea. I'm not a movie maker so I don't know much about the business, but I'll investigate.
Be suspicious of this owner. She sounds like a shambles at the very least, and possibly even dishonest.
you are right, I should have backed it up, but the owner forgot to pay the bill on the backup server.

I work full time for one company but do side consulting work. For my side consulting work I use SkyDrive (free) on my notebook to store my code which automatically gets synched to 3 other computers. I use a TFS instance for source control on a separate server in my house. I then make manual backups every day and copy them to an offsite FTP server. That's 7 copies of my code including 2 offsite backups (SkyDrive and FTP server). You could do this yourself with free / open source versions of what I use. Just get a Dropbox account and set up a script to copy to it every day.

It might just be me but I loathe re-writing code.
Why don't more developers use LaTeX?
I think you might mean "The War of Art," which is a great motivational book. The "Art of War" is good too, but would be tough to classify as "hippie'esque."

No, he wasn't saying that "we should have pointlessly thrown away" any of them. He was saying that the Jews should have sacrificed themselves to make a point, in something like the same way as many of Gandhi's followers put themselves in danger to make a point, and Gandhi himself went on (life-threatening) hunger strike to make a point. And he was saying that the end result would likely have been the loss of fewer Jewish lives.

There is a big difference between "It would be a noble and also an effective thing for group X to sacrifice themselves" and "Other people should sacrifice group X", and it seems very clear that Gandhi was saying the first of those and not the second, and that he was advocating that they should do the same kind of thing as he did himself.

Now, for the avoidance of doubt, I think (1) he was wrong about this and (2) there's still something a bit indecent about saying "those people should have sacrificed themselves". But I don't see anything anti-Semitic, or anti-humanistic, in this, nor do I think he was saying that Jewish lives were worth little in absolute terms or relative to others. He was saying that in the face of a powerful oppressor self-sacrifice is both an effective tool and a noble thing to do.
1) Always source revision your code, free private repos are available at bitbucket.

2) Never work without compensation

3) Preferably make a contract

4) Agree to incremental delivery or milestones

5) Prepare regular invoices

6) Follow up on outstanding invoices

7) be strict about getting paid, on time, or fire the client

You may be good at what you do, but that doesn't help if you screw up the business part of freelancing.
Very rarely in Norway. If you're stopped at a routine traffic stop with a Norwegian drivers license, driving a foreign-registered car, the police will expect you to be able to show customs documents from the border to document that the car has been registered on entry. If you can't do that, or if the car was imported more than 30 days ago, you're in for a world of hurt. For most people it's not worth the risk
Sounds great - eagerly awaiting it to show up in spotify!
I was interested in trying it out for doing pair programming. Didn't get so far before I gave up though.

* Login with Github, trying to import project, didn't work.

* Setup demo application, trying to find how to try it out.

* After looking around ~5 minutes, found the "open web server url" link

* "An error has occurred: {"code":"ECONNREFUSED","errno":"ECONNREFUSED","syscall":"connect"}" as response when using the url

* Trying to open up terminal to debug, terminal loading never ends

* Open up logs console thing, blank file.

* Closed tab and gave up
I understand it was an attempt at humor, but there is no line that divides Northern and Southern Europe. Western Europe is in between both (like Central America is in between North and South America).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Europe_subregion_map_UN_ge...

Also, ‘the Mediterranean’ is not the same as Southern Europe. For instance, France, Monaco, and Corsica are not part of Southern Europe, even though they are in the Mediterranean. Portugal is in Southern Europe, but it isn’t in the Mediterranean.
Heh, still got the chrome plugin, which replaces 'the cloud' with 'my butt'.

You probably mean caret? (not cursor since it does not exist a cursor in iOS)
Also, the Fields medal
Of course Norway simply solved that problem by making it illegal to do so.
> As others have said, shitty is entirely subjective.

I strongly disagree that shitty is entirely subjective. Contextually, "shitty" could mean music recorded on a cell phone, or tracks that were 2 seconds long, or tracks that have been transcoded 7 times and sound like they're being played from a walkie-talkie at the bottom of a well.

I can understand why a music platform might want to enforce some standards of professionalism or technical competency, even if they didn't want to do so for matters of taste.
I wonder when will we have support for JSON transport in XMPP (or JMPP if you can call it that).
They do this to me regularly, and I'm a US-born US citizen. My median time for being arrested and held with no food or water or use of a communications device is around six hours.

...all because I politely exercise my fifth amendment rights.

This happens about 50% of the time I enter the country. I live abroad so I enter the US about a half-dozen times per year. I think my file is big enough now that they know not to ask me anything.

I often wonder which of these "threatening me with prosecution for interfering with a border control point", "lying to me by saying I'm legally required to answer their questions", "refusing to tell me the name of the city I'm standing in" and "throwing me out of the border control point (into the USA) on the highway in Vermont in February in a snowstorm" fall under.

(It's the only time I've ever had to hitchhike in my life, as it'd been hours since they'd sent the Montreal-Boston bus on without me.)

The one border cop in Detroit told me, after coming through the tunnel from Windsor, that "[she's] just doing her job, making sure the country is safe, and that [she's] there to prove [I'm] innocent and get [me] on my way quickly." I waited until I was given the all clear to leave the building before mentioning to her that "We're Americans, and this is America. I am innocent until I am proven guilty, and those representing our country would do best to remember that."

Despite my opinions about the lot of them, I am calm, polite, professional, and courteous in my interactions with them. They respond in the most unprofessional manner possible, short of physically assaulting me. They've cost me thousands of dollars and caused me to miss important business meetings. (Before you say it: it's not my fault for exercising my basic rights or not "just answering the simple questions" that I missed my meetings. I'd have left except for the fact that men with guns on their belt arrested me after I'd already given them my passport and they'd searched my possessions.)

Fuck the police.

PS: Their invasive searches of my belongings were clearly punitive, too. I never travel with contraband but had I been doing so, they would not have found any of it. They were clearly just fucking with someone who had the nerve to tell them that his travel plans inside and outside of the US were and are "none of their business".

It's more like twice the US:

GDP per capita 2012 for Norway: $99,557. US: 49,965. (Sweden: $55,244)

The last decade has been exceptional, though part of the reason is the NOK is vastly stronger against the dollar than it used to be (then again part of the reason for that is that the Norwegian economy is as strong as it is)

(EDIT: that's World Bank numbers, btw. IMF and other sources give slightly different results, but the relative difference is pretty much the same; if you factor in purchasing power parity, the gap is substantially closer, though)
Looks very impressive. Can't get a new blank Java project to compile or run yet though (java: command not found). May be doing something wrong.
Sorry, We don't include java in the current VMs, but it's coming soon.

Thanks, I guess. Would have loved visiting other places there but it looks like it might be safer to avoid them for now.
The Fields Medal is comparable to the Nobel awards in terms of reputation, but not in other ways. For example, it is awarded only every four years, recipients must be under 40 years of age, and the prize money is "only" CAD$15,000.

(Edit: CAN$ -> CAD$ - Thanks @alanctgardner2.)

The Fields medal is deliberately not open to Mathematicians over the age of 40 to encourage young Mathematicians. Very depressing for older Mathematicians. Andrew Wiles was too old to win it, and Erdös is not a Field medalist (although not sure if that's because of age or oversight).
OK, too bad.

Any other limitations to know about?

PGP is designed to disallow lawful intercepts. Should the government be allowed to prevent strong cryptography software on my own computer?

If not, then why should they be allowed to do the same on a hosted service?

If so, then is it also ok for oppressive governments in other countries to backdoor cryptography, so they can throw dissidents in prison? Or should dissidents have tools to protect themselves? If they should, then why shouldn't people in this supposedly-free country have the same tools?
The Big Data Conundrum: How to Define It?
* Login with Github, trying to import project, didn't work.
-> Is it a public or private project ? Can you give me the github url ?

* "An error has occurred: {"code":"ECONNREFUSED","errno":"ECONNREFUSED","syscall":"connect"}" as response when using the url
-> The "open web server url" link open the port 5000 of your VM, you need to run something on this port before accessing it.

* Trying to open up terminal to debug, terminal loading never ends

I really appricated it!

I also have a Danish bank account and an American Account, but not sure if I want to post that here.

I can try to open a paypal account, but not sure if I can.

I am happy to give you guys the police report number if you PM me (can you do that on hacker news?)
I signed up and created a sinatra and java app. Wouldn't usually be one to but a downer on a new product but the whole process was quite buggy.

Great idea though.
Ah. The dispute here is that I (along with most Jews nowadays) simply do not believe that self-sacrifice is effective or noble. The Holocaust was, in fact, our single biggest lesson ever in precisely that. From our perspective, self-sacrifice is anti-humanistic, it's a simple murder: you kill yourself, save nobody else, and win nothing for it but the sympathy of future generations -- hopefully.

I mean, for that matter, compare how many Holocaust victims did fight back versus those who didn't. Since the vast majority didn't fight back, what could they have done to make their deaths into an effective "martyrdom"?

Looking at http://www.economist.com/node/699582/print?Story_ID=699582 it seems to be open to some doubt whether Russell was actually advocating a nuclear first strike. (It seems clear that he was prepared to countenance one in some circumstances. That's not obviously completely unreasonable.)

After that he went on found the Pugwash conferences, be the first president of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, etc., so he can hardly be painted as a nuclear warmonger generally. As you say, "everyone makes mistakes and everyone is subject to social climate".

Could you be more explicit about how he "refused to own up to it"? I mean, did he deny saying the actual words he's documented as having said, or did he disagree with someone else's interpretation of them, or what?
This post-Cold War classification is somewhat oversimplified.. The category of Central Europe (or Middle Europe) is more helpful in understanding the divisions. Vide "The stolen West..." by Kundera, for example

I think the issue some people seem to be missing in this discussion is that the technology is morally neutral.

A system designed to protect the privacy of its users' data even if its operator is subjected to coercion does not care whether the coercion comes in the form of a court order, a bribe, a threat to reveal a secret or a man holding a gun to the operator's head.

A system designed to be secure against coercion of its operator necessarily resists lawful intercepts just as it resists blackmail. Designing a system in such a way does not imply that the designer wishes to promote illegal behavior nor hinder the ability of the police to investigate it.
> The "UN", then by name of "League of Nations" was the organisation behind the treaty of Versailles, and therefore carries at least some of the blame for causing WWII.

This is incorrect; the League of Nations became de-facto defunct during the war and was formally dissolved in 1946. The UN was founded in 1945, with a very different structure to the LN.

Hey thanks a lot Pyalot. We do have a contract, and the owner really knows about it. The cash just have to pay for some urgent expenses at the moment.

Yeah, it was my fault for not git push origin after the backup server was restored.

But the shutdown introduced a few problem in the work flow, and I just got lazy and didnät do the system admin stuff and just kept on programming. A lesson well learned.
Right now, you can't install anything in the VM using apt-get (because you can't be root), but a solution to this will come soon to let you install anything you need.
This has been discussed many times, but so far, no clear advantage of changing the wire-protocol, to be based on JSON instead of XML, has been shown. Especially if you want to retain distributed extensibility you will mostly end up with curly brackets instead of angle brackets. Sure, dealing with the DOM in the browser is not awesome, but in general this could be dealt with by having better library APIs instead of changing the wire-protocol.

That said, a minimal protocol addition like this, which just provides an element to wrap serialized JSON for payloads, definitely help with minimizing that DOM pain. I will propose standardizing this as a (very short) XEP (XMPP Extension Protocol) with the XMPP Standards Foundation.
Well, the browsers could disable non PFS ciphers by default. When a site doesn't match any PFS cipher list, show a pop-up with a way to add an exception for the site.

Much more graceful than a complete switch-over and doesn't require co-ordination from other vendors.

Presumably the complaint is the article is shamelessly pandering to twenty-something college educated people who are already aware of America's shortcomings.

The article isn't at all meant to persuade anybody, it exists to pat people on the back who already believe those "10 Things Most American's Don't know". But not the reader obviously. The reader is too cool, it's those other Americans who are uninformed and stupid, you see.

First Man To Wear A Sanitary Napkin Has An Epic Story To Tell
Other than jokes, I think the closest we have to something real is XMPP-FTW, which operates as a gateway and JSON-ifies everything between itself and the XMPP server.

Personally, I'd like to see XMPP go format-agnostic, just like HTTP. What's funny is that there was already a competing protocol that did exactly this called BEEP, created around the same time as XMPP. Developers ultimately preferred XMPP, and I'd attribute this partly to the fact that the payload format (XML) was baked into the protocol. Back then, people loved their XML about the same as people love their JSON today.

Interesting how things change in 10 years.
Thx a lot! I'm glad you like it :)

* Github, public and private. https://github.com/victorbjelkholm/angularblog is one public I tried.

* Aha, shouldn't be impossible to add a better error message or a hint that you actually need to start the software? Starting a new application, it's not clear that nothing is done for you. For example, when starting the NodeJS template, it would be cool if it ran npm install and node web.js or something like that so the setup would to be.

* Websockets shouldn't be a problem, running Chrome Canary and Firefox Aurora.

Is this even allowed? Why would a doctor with hepatitis be allowed to operate?
Sure, I’m willing to bet most Europeans don’t know either of those facts. However, it can be expected of a journalist writing about the subject to look it up. And if he fails to do so, then surely, the error is spotted by a fact checker or editor. That’s how it’s supposed to work, anyways.
Be careful with that line of reasoning. Rich people respond to tax incentives more than the middle class in a lot of respects (because they have more economic freedom), and some of the draw for the upper middle class is that the Tesla is a rich person's car/status symbol.

Making the rich move back to MB S-class and Porsche 911s and you take away at least part of the allure for the numerically larger upper-middle class.

Plus, realistically, do you really want to differentially encourage a $75 K/yr household to buy a car that's not economically rational/healthy for them to buy? You want more Teslas on the road via incentives? You have to give the incentives to the people who can afford them...

I know a number of women who call mixed groups and even groups of women "guys", and I know women who don't like to be called "guy". I don't think the existence of the first group justifies in any way me being an asshole to the second group.
