Having worked in a company whose product was rent-a-cops it was not uncommon to find many who took the job because to them it was easy, usually indoors, and people you met treated you nicely.

We had students who used their time to study, some read books, others used their beats for exercise, and some just plainly enjoyed a job that was stress free ninety nine percent and more of the time.

At first when I worked there, coding a wide range of programs including payroll, I was a bit distressed at the pay scales. However after meeting many different guards I came to realize that many saw advantages I didn't and they could not understand why I wanted to work so hard, all day and sometimes more at a computer.
This is not about the right to make jokes. Comments about airport security should simply not be grounds for arrest. All this would cause is many innocent people being detained for saying what they think.
I found the bigget opportunity for conversation was also the most awkward time for me in the past - lunches and breaks at an 8-10 person table. Most people sat around quietly, or talking to people they worked with. I always waited for someone else to start a conversation with me, until I realized most other people are doing the exact same thing, which led to very little conversation. Now, I will try to engage the other people at the table by asking about their job, or the presentations they've seen. Usually people are relived at having someone talk to them without staring the conversation themselves. It does however require taking that first step of initiating, which can be the hardest part.
I don't think I would say asana is complex as far as usability. The interface and shortcuts are all pretty intuitive in my opinion. I do think though that asana's lack of opinion or convention and freedom of how to structure the tasks is what some people may feel is "complex".

It seems like anything that requires a bit of thought or self controlled structure people seem to tag as complexity. In a cyber world where usability and simplicity is defined by a users lack of need to think much as they are using the app, this totally makes sense. But as a user of asana myself, I have found once you get past that "feeling of complexity" - which is just a matter of deciding your own conventions, then asana is a beautifully simple collaborative tool. Flexibility is not complexity, although it may feel like it is because it requires more effort on our own part to establish the workflow.

What's the vine a metaphor for? The government? The TSA? Google? Facebook?
I'm not concerned for my own person. I can easily restrict my use of jokes, but I can't support a country that disallows some of the most basic human rights, namely the freedom of speech (which I consider country-wide, not like the American version where you have to stand in a free speech zone to exercise the right). I hope the good people from the developer community in USA will attend the European conferences, so we can still meet and share experiences.

Also, this isn't just jokes as to what you are referring, it's jokes that any way involves security at airports, as I understand it. E.g. "Careful, it might smell" when they pick up your shoe.
> Wondering how much is the impact of crowd-funding / public micro-funding on deal quality and deal flow for these traditional VC firms (Mattermark anything?)? Why are the VCs lowering their fund size so rapidly?

Crowd-funding is a negligible factor, at least thus far.

Venture capital has simply underperformed the broad stock market. This looks even worse on a risk-adjusted basis, because riskier assets are supposed to outperform safer assets.

As a result, pension funds and university endowments have been cutting back their allocation to venture capital. Less money = smaller VC funds.

The reason VC worked out for Yale was because nobody else knew about VC. When every other university adopted the Yale model, VC stopped outperforming other investments.
It's the exact opposite. The better code gets quality wise, the easier it gets to read and understand.

There are situations that require using somewhat surprising language features occasionally, but quality code will limit them to small areas, and document the hell out of what's going on there.
In this day and age most people carry their laptop, tablet and\or their phone. Even students & workers without devices have their stuff on either the network\cloud or a simple no fuss USB stick. I'm not sure what kind of audience they want to appeal to AND if it will appeal to them for practical reasons. All that said, I really like their marketing and design (though I do wonder if they're paying licensing to Marvel\DC and not just waiting to get sued). It's curious to note that these guys have also been around for a while (since 2009?) and tried selling Keypod to the enterprise (i.e.symphony\citrix integration). I think that might have caved (they've since removed their "Keypod for Business" page) which is why it would make sense for them to be offering Keypod for free and trying to appeal to the "general public".
JRE Install required. I can't install anything on my OS. Can you please get rid of this requirement?
I wouldn't say it's that much better than alternatives. I find it quite a bit better designed than C++ or the like, but if you're very comfortable with C++ or something, I think it'd probably be equally easy to code things like graphical plugins in either language.

"(whether or not you agree with the decision in the Schenck case.)"

The problem is that the statement was used not only to support the decision in that case, but could be used to support any restriction on free speech rights -- which you yourself have done. You can always claim that allowing some particular form of speech would create a panic or disrupt public order, which it is joking about airport security, handing out anti-draft literature, or voicing disapproval of the president.
That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw it. I know I have seen it in swf/gif form in the past. While I don't dispute HTML5's canvas(+js) is very cool I was hoping for something straining the limits or doing something new.

I was going to say something along the lines of "...rather than seeing an old idea/concept rehashed in canvas+js" but then I realized that could include people doing things like getting old games (Quake/Doom) running in the browser with canvas+js. The counterpoint would be that this idea could be implemented in gif form (While it would lose the ability to toggle your direction/speed) whereas I don't think anyone would enjoy gifQuake/gifDoom :).

TL;DR - It would appear I'm jaded when it comes to things like this. And that's probably not a good thing.
That is really neat. Never even through of that.

The rise and fall of AM radio
If there exists a fast factoring algorithm that breaks RSA, then investing in research to discover that would allow us to design and switch to better cryptosystems. If there does not exist one, discovering that fact would allow us to prove security guarantees about RSA; either way, we improve security.

If we avoid such research out of fear that we might discover something that breaks RSA, we are relying on security by obscurity.

Well, you can effectively re-train without switching layouts. I started out as hunt-and-peck with QWERTY, then decided to properly touch type.

Major comfort benefit. Then I re-trained with http://bepo.fr

I got a smaller, but noticeable additional comfort.

My conclusion is that touch typing is more important than layout. Layout is icing on the cake. Not essential for me, but damn useful.
Hot singer/pianist Lauren Christoff photoshoot teaser
Your points, all of them, are valid. I suspect however, given the tone of that article, that it's more of a statement of cynicism and disillusionment than one of irrefutable fact. In that context I found it amusing, if a little wordy.

I know it's a statement of cynicism and disillusionment. I'm saying there's no need for cynicism.

It's also important to note that you can only really appreciate the pace of progress in retrospect. It is incredibly difficult to appreciate how quickly things are developing when you are in the thick of it.

There was a good essay about this phenomenon on HN a few years ago but I can't find it anymore. Something about experiencing time in the rear view mirror or something like that.
But the problem is that Security is a joke.
I'd argue that it's not that great a representation for code, which should be diff'd syntactically.
Oh splendid. Yet another theory that breaks down people into "types" and tells us that we have to handle these different "types" in different ways. I'll put it on the shelf next to Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, the four hippocratic humours, "left-brain vs. right-brain", Myers-Brigg, the various zodiac systems, blood group personality theory (very popular here in Japan) and all the other dross

Take, for instance, Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences. That's the one that talks about kinaesthetic intelligence, verbal intelligence and so on. It is unusual, because it actually makes a prediction that we can test: students do best when taught in a style that most closely matches their intelligence type (the "meshing hypothesis").

There are many studies that claim to test and support the meshing hypothesis. But, to cut a long story short, most of them test a different version of the hypothesis that is so weak as to be almost tautological. The very few that really do test the meshing hypothesis invariably do NOT support it. After 30 years of looking for evidence to support Gardner's theories, the American Psychological Association gave up, and announced that, unless and until somebody produces some hard evidence, they will consider the theory discredited.

So is that the end for multiple intelligence? Hardly! Teacher training colleges still teach it. Elite schools still publish reports describing the wonderful results they got when they modified their curriculum according to Gardner's recommendations. (Invariably, it turns out they did nothing of the sort. They just introduced more variety into their classroom activities -- they certainly DIDN'T target particular activities towards particular learners.) And so on.

You cite the following evidence in support of Kahler's theories:

1. The Clintons support it.

2. NASA talked to Kahler when they were developing their astronaut recruitment program.

To the former, I say, "so what"?

As for the latter, I actually took a nanosecond to follow the links you gave, and what they said was something like, "Kahler told the NASA scientists to screen out the quitters". Well, I guess that's an important point, but I'd hardly call it a complete vindication for his theories.

So I scream "bullshit!". And I will continue to do so until you show me:

1. A non-trivial, falsifiable prediction grounded in Kahler's work.

2. A good quality study that tests this prediction and finds in Kahler's favor.
I didn't read about what it was supposed to do before I watched the video.

> The day will come when you will need those two figures side-by-side, together with a caption positioned just right. Or a table that spans multiple pages and has multi-column cells.

Not sure if you mean to say it is difficult to do or not in LaTeX.. but I had to do just that last week (10+ pages long tables, side by side figures with fancy captions, etc.).. and it was just a matter of searching for "LaTeX $problem" and I was in business..
By definition, a pivot that went too far is not a pivot anymore. They are probably starting from scratch.

Also, 3-4 weeks is not nearly enough time to experience validated learning, so zero insights gained.

Chances are in another 3-4 weeks they will "pivot" again.

Those guys look like they are still in brainstorming mode. At this stage, money can do more harm than good.
I had thought of this as well, but one of the major benefits of Steam (access to all your purchased games) is lost if you can't play them due to resource constraints (not enough storage on the usb stick for persistence, long load times for large games that need to be downloaded each time you boot).

Might be a good idea for single titles, though.
Don’t Expect An Equity Investor For Your Non-Profit
I do not. While I would really like to be able to do that, the reality is that I just can't. I mean, I have a biologist friend who regularly clones bacteria and implements binary functions in their DNA. Not only do I not know how to hold a pipete, I just don't have the equipment to perform experiments like that.

The goal is to get a functional understanding of as many different topics as possible. Enough to explain things in layman's terms, but I could not possibly become an expert in everything.
I always loved the ice.org 'quilt' platform - it's a bummer that the community never flourished like DeviantArt, etc.

Yeah, I was just about to post this. That's some Grade-A orientalist bullshit there, The Atlantic. In Chinese, heart is used in the same metaphorical sense as it is in English, as a center of emotional thought, as opposed to the brain, which is the center of rational thought.
It's certainly not a single image, you can see how the content gets blurred at the edges. It's similar to the kind of image you get when you point a camera at a TV and display the picture on the same TV. It looks like infinity, but actually you just have a rectangle in every picture through which you can "look" at the same picture, which in turn has another rectangle etc. In zoomquilt, it's not rectangles, but more complex (vector-drawn?) shapes which let you see through each image to next. Similar to a card stack where every card has a hole, and the last card is also the one before the first.
this was a real issue, here is the bug:

> they don't help the world or achive something spectacular

Sure they do.

What if I become really good at summarizing papers for laymen? What if I then start a publishing house for good laymen explanations of science? What if this then leads to the abolishment of all those stupid "Caffeine will give you cancer lololol" articles your mum reads?

Or maybe I'll just learn a lot and use it as an advantage somewhere else.

Or it might inspire people to read more base sources to form informed opinions about things you care about.

And I'm almost certainly not smart and persistent enough for a Nobel Prize.
