This is just way too true. I know someone (anecdote alert) learning at a really prestigious university in a medical field and she told me multiple times that they intentionally cheat the results to match the expected output.

By cheating I mean... flat out lying. I don't know the implications of this (how far misinformation can get) but it seems like a wrong culture and attitude, especially for science.
How can you be sure that's the last time you got a virus?
For me, this is something that has just gotten better with experience and practice.

Of course, we all start out with a clear and rigid vision about how the code should be - you use good design patterns, you let your data dictate the flow of your code and inevitably, some scenario comes up that doesn't play into your structure well and you concede a hack. Then a couple more. But with experience comes being able to identify areas that are more likely to attract smelly code and thus you are able to prepare in advance.

One of the paradigms that I am always reiterating to my team is that their code only needs to be 'good enough' and of course, this is relating to productivity. It doesn't need to be the shiniest example of a memento implementation I ever saw - first and foremost, it needs to work. And it needs to work when I need it to work, not 2 weeks after because you just had to refactor it just one more time. This is the reality of being a professional developer, working with customers.
I'd like some citation to the 'less than 10%'.

edit: interestingly, chrome appears to be growing faster than all mobile browsers combined.

If you think that it was politically decided before the operation began that he would be assassinated, that's a different issue entirely. I'm not going to speculate on that because there isn't any way we can know for sure because the people involved aren't going to tell us. You're free to develop a theory, but it will likely never progress beyond that.

I actually agree with you in principle, that a trial would have been preferable. I just don't see how it would have been possible without putting even more lives at risk.

How would you have recommended we go about apprehending him alive, without any casualties? Its clear that the Pakistanis weren't going to help us apprehend him any time soon.
The argument is pretty simple: if you destroy the advertising revenue that content depends on, we’ll end up in a cultural wasteland, or, worse, a culture plagued by advertising that masquerades as content.

Isn't this true for things that are already paid for anyways? The car from Transformers seems to ring a bell.

The argument that advertising kills content doesn't really hold its salt for me, if people are not willing to pay for content is it that great anyways? The argument really only eliminates niche content.
I liked this whole thread and think everyone had good points. This is just what happens when a bunch of really smart geeks start debating :)

Also, I personally don't think it's unfair to occasionally call out people individually when they've reached epic commenter status... people do it to pg all the time, and anyone who's in the public light gets this, and tptacek has reached that level on HN. And the great thing is, we're all here to hash these concerns out... ah, if only people with real power (politicians and corporate elite) were so accessible.
It's definitely a bug, most likely in the pre-prime generation (not enough entropy).

If we're talking 1024-bit integers created by multiplying two 512-bit primes, the facts are:

1) The number of 512-bit primes is estimated around 11.36×10^150

2) The chance that two truly random primes are the same is one in 3.37*10^75. It is safe to assume it has never happened and never will (at least on our current hardware).

This is absolutely ridiculous. It doesn't take much effort to make anyone sound like a hacker.

Eg. Paris Hilton is a "Media Hacker" because she's managed to create a successful brand for herself despite not having traits commonly seen in successful celebrities (a talent in acting or a talent in music).

This might be an accurate description, but I don't want to see Paris Hilton news on Hacker News.

The post mentions "Most of them are found in embedded networked devices, such as routers and firewalls". Embedded devices like that have very little entropy on first boot - that could might cause them to generate very poor keys.

This is not only in medical science, but apparently archaeogy too. (Anecdote alert) A very close friend took part in a dig by a very well known professor. Artifacts that were found that disproved the professor's theories were destroyed before my friend's eyes.

Nice little bit of product placement there, considering there's not really anything in Ender's Game about advanced medical technology - and in fact, the most significant item we see is the monitor, which is so non-biodegradable that Ender has to go back to the doctor for a surgery with apparently non-negligible risk to have it removed.

The Top Private Equity Loopholes

Another anecdote. My facebook wall was full of "I hate iOS7" posts right after it came out. A few folks I know switched, a few said "now it's just like Android" (whatever that means), and the rest are just gritting their teeth for the next couple years hoping Apple sorts it out before the end of their contract.

I know a few people who are fine with 6 or 7, but I've never heard a single soul say "iOS 7 is freaking awesome!".

All the people I know who are approach 40 or older loath it for both aesthetic reasons as well as not being able to see anything with the stupid design.
When you come to a pedestrian crossing with someone already there, do you wait patiently, assuming that they have pressed the button, or do you push the button?

I tend to push the button, but that doesn't stop me feeling guilty about it. I feel that I am indicating to the other individual that I think they are too stupid to have pushed it.

Would the same thing happen with accidents? If you come across an accident with someone already there, do you call the police, or do you assume they've already been called?

The interesting thing I find here is the economics of this decision.

Using Air Canada 777 as an example from SeatGuru http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Air_Canada/Air_Canada_Boein...

Adding the 9th seat per row results in an extra 43 seats per plane.

Factoring in only the economy section of the plane, there are 344 seats in the 8 seat configuration, 387 in the 9 seat.

Estimate a long-haul flight costs $1000, that makes an easy calculation of $43,000 extra revenue for the airline. That is only an extra $125/seat in revenue compared to the 8 seat configuration.

Apparently it costs 1 gallon of fuel/pound on domestic flights, so let's say is 30% more on long haul flights and the average person including luggage weighs 200lbs (170lbs for the person plus 30lbs luggage). Jet fuel is currently $2.92/gallon, so let's say the airline buys it at a reduced rate of $2.70, and our 30% brings us to $4.00 per person.

I'm guessing this is much of what airlines are doing with Premium Economy, but you pay a $300+ ticket difference per seat, so for each row in Premium Economy, the airline is making $1000 extra profit over the same row in Economy.

Ok I understand your meaning now, but you are not saying the same thing as 7figures2commas' original comment.

The original comment said "You can't seriously look at the charts of companies like Netflix and Tesla and believe that this is the result of DCF analysis"

While your claim is that low interest rates automatically raise the value of companies, when computed with DCF analysis.

So I agree with you that low interest rates do increase stock prices, but it's not relevant to the discussion at hand, since the original post was clearly referring to mis-pricing of stocks. That also explains why I and, perhaps others, didn't understand your meaning. You were applying your own notion of how the Fed drives stock prices, not the one in the original post.
I'm expecting them to go out of stock quickly, and be hard to get until after Christmas. As others have said, this is partially a marketing move.

First and second cousins, and only in a few countries, and much of the collected data you'll find on the topic is 40-50 years old[1]. But what does that have to do with China?

Author here. Several ways: the first half of the book was much more difficult to write as I was finding my voice and writing about non-Symfony tech (you can read the first two chapters on the website).

Additionally, I run my own software company so I can dedicate a full day to writing if I want (I've been writing in the evenings only).

Finally, if I don't feel I can make the date then I will let everyone on the pre-order list know and they can opt to have their pre-order canceled (no money exchanges hands until the book is published).

>So now the dirty work of killing these quite often completely innocent people is handed over to those squads. And they just remind me of "special operations" done by SS Totenkopf. Go there kill a boy because his daddy is a suspected terrorist. And then kill their whole family too. All I'm saying there is difference in scale, but the legal ramifications are very similar. What stops the Government from labeling you a terrorist and targeting you? How will you proof your innocence without a trial and attorney?

There's parts of the government that have been caught doing really ridiculous, illegal things, and other parts of the government that have made costly mistakes, but you make it sound like the entire thing is a big conspiracy to kill innocent people in Afghanistan. That borders on insanity.
And that my friend will bite the person who started this thread ... in the bum ... as will a google cache ... as will other site caches.

Because I am the person who sent him the DMCA Notice and if he does not drop this right now, i will use all of my evidence to prove that he's lying out of his bottom :)

I'm giving him the opportunity to drop this now before I provide this site among other news site, all the evidence and all my proof :)

It is beyond me why a person would take a lie this far as to start a thread on NH, especially when he knows the person who sent him the DMCA did create the code.

Now I'll give him the BOD and perhaps he didn't write the code himself and he is sticking up for a friend who is lying to him. But he's started digging now so i'm giving him one chance to stop and apologise.

Let me be clear on one thing. This is not a threat, I'm just not one to stir trouble - but I'm certainly not fond of being called a liar, or someone taking donations for code I've written.

In other news, people still go to the bathroom, fetch a snack, walk their dog, etc. during TV ads. And more recently, browse their tablet or smartphone.

[ ] No other screen on hand

[ ] One other screen (e.g. tablet, smartphone or laptop)

[ ] Two screens

[ ] Three or more screens

Then consider the price advertisers pay for "your attention" and have a good laugh.

In Seattle (Belltown) many years ago there was this woman that me and my friends called "sobbing lady."

When you first see her, sobbing and frantic and saying she was robbed, you really want to help her because she seems legit. When you ask her what happened, you start to realize her story makes no sense, and she's either dealing with mental illness or addiction or both.

When you see her for the 20th time of course, sobbing and frantic, you realize she's obviously just grifting and you ignore her.

I could imagine an outsider determining that we are callus and cold, seeing me and my friends ignore a sobbing old lady crying out for help.

There are two meanings of "producer" at play here: a) he who cuts a beat, b) he who produces an album. Kanye was limited yet very successful at A, and he may be the best in his field at B.

Kanye may not be the world's best rapper, but he is no slouch, and to be producing (both meanings) in the capacity he does at the same time is staggering. I like to tell people it's as if Martin Scorsese played the lead role in all of his own movies.

From everything I've read, Rick Rubin arrived late to the project and edited a mountain of work down into a short album.
