The whole of Europe basically declared war on France when Robespierre was in charge. He wasn't looking for another excuse to kill a few thousand people. He couldn't have having traitors in this circumstance. People forget about historical circumstances when talking about Robespierre. He wasn't looking for excuses to kill people like Stalin. He really had no choice, the spies of these 6 countries really were there, and the country was also on the verge of civil war. And big chunks of French elites supported the outside interventions to restore monarchy. How you deal with that? By talking about gay rights? And Robespierre did know that he will die in the process. When you read him, he says it openly - I know the process will swallow me - he accepted that. All I'm saying is, this is what we need now, if we don't want to continue on this path of cultural suicide.
You don't need to do any of that if you already are a Bitcoin user. You are speaking nonsense.

NoFloJS is by no mean original but how does your project compare to them?
Thanks for the links. My area of (amateur) research is "contra-science," and one sub-set I find most interesting is so-called "race." What is called "race' seems actually to be the result of environmental/geographic induced gene expression. My favorite examples is a South African sub-culture that possesses the Cohen gene (Tribe of Isaiah), but looks identical to their neighbors. They have been in South Africa for about 800 years.
The trouble is less that CEOs believe they have a superior tech team, because any set of reasonably smart people working on a problem domain day in, day out will eventually gain a level of expertise in that domain beyond what most people have. The problem is, to believe you have more innate talent than others, rather than accepting that hard work is what makes people good at what they do. Arrogance is an easy trap to fall into though. Creating a truly humble team is the real challenge.

Ask HN:What's the biggest problem in your business that software can solve?
Fellow Entrepreneurs,
Hope things are amazing with all of you guys:)
My name is Daniel and i'm a coder looking to help businesses with the challenges they have and i was wondering what the biggest problem in your business is that can be solved by software.How do you tackle it? I would appreciate any kind of info or advice and would indeed do my best to help you) With best regards, Daniel K.W.
And did you convince anyone?
AFAIK, section headers should be used sequentially, e.g. <section><h1>First level</h1><h2>Second level</h2>

< p>Foobar</p><h2>Another second level header</h2>

< p>Quux</p></section> (the space prevents HN from eating those tags).

It also uses paragraphs and breaks to create white space. On line 284 it even wraps a break in a bold tag.

Nice article, though.

In 1989, for instance, two teams of electrochemists independently announced that they’d achieved the holy grail of nuclear energy, cold fusion—that is, controlled nuclear reactions at room temperature. But other scientists were never able to reproduce their results.

what a load of bull.

EDIT: it might not have been cold fusion, but other scientists sure were able to reproduce their results.

No, you don't. You get labeled a freak, and you may or may not be charged under health-related laws.

I agree what is taught in school is very poor and lacking. I hope he current system is a least a gateway for most people: once you start understanding that you need more education, you can look for yourself how to get this education. Then comes to play libraries, grants, online resources etc. Not everyone has a chance to access all the resources he/she needs, but at least middle class and slighty lower classes should have a chance.

To be clear, there will always be a gap between child with clever/well educated parents and other childs, and I don't think we should lower the top level. I just think we need a eay to push people who might be stuck at the bottom level while they could go much higher.
It is up to you to decide whether you are convinced or not. If you have any logical counter-arguments, then great, I would be willing to listen to them, discuss them and change my mind about deflation. However, simply saying "it doesn't work this way" and "it's more complicated than that" is not a way to argue and seek truth.

I keep searching for stuff and finding old blog posts of mine I wrote after the first time I solved the problem...
> people around me fumble with their Windows [1] machines I pull up a gcc cross compilation chain and begin porting the proprietary "workspace

Also the trend to "integrate" all that stuff in shiny windows applications makes it increasingly hard to have collaboration with shared repositories and automated builds, because "workspaces"/"Project files" tend to happily mix user-interface configuration, file modifications or code-generation settings. And changes in autogenerated code pop-up in unexpected ways that makes it increasignly hard to re-integrate concurrent development (e.g. by different developers).

It's pretty horrible. And sometimes your vendor's compiler isn't GCC but uses a lot of non-gcc extensions which you have to manually rewrite in something that's sane. Or uses ELF, but in a way that contemporary binutils only can link after you've done some ugly tricks with them...
The autocomplete timings are one part of it. I am more concerned about other parts which are not publicly documented and seem to contain possibly identifiable information. I will be very happy if my suspicions are proven unfounded.

Aside, there seems to be an RLZ parameter in Chrome, which is purportedly absent from Chromium. The RLZ parameter comes from [1], which according to that page is now integrated into Chromium. By manual inspection of the AQS parameter value, there seems to be some identity of the browser included in it.

You've got a strange idea of what science is.

> It's just a toy. There's no science taught here. It's just idle noodling.

This doesn't remind you of, say, a C64? The kit is a tool. You can do different things with it. If, at any point, someone using the kit thinks to themselves "what would happen if I did X?" and then does X to see what happens, that is citizen science.

> The other problem is really bad toys being sold as "science" with nothing sciency about them.

This is a problem, although in my experience it's not a large one. It definitely doesn't apply here, though; witness yourself the people saying they've worked on similar projects.

I've already mentioned several questions about the product that implicate "science" generally:

- can you mount a camera on the roach? If you can, and it acts naturally afterwards (or even naturally with the caveat that it's stopped fitting into cockroach-sized cracks), you'll pick up extremely valuable footage that a biologist studying cockroaches would love to have.

- Will other cockroaches accept one that's had this kit installed? If not, why not?

- Can I use my RC cockroach to influence the behavior of a swarm? Choose for them where they'll sleep? Dictate what left-out food they choose to eat and what they pass by? Cockroaches are social. Using one to manipulate a colony would be huge.
How about you start? Maybe you seed this with some examples and others will come along. These stream-of-conciousness posts in the Ask HN section only make sense to those who are absolutely desperate to talk/comment/raise karma.
All 350m?

That's like saying that the billion or so nominal Christians are anti-war, because the canonical Christian writings are clearly anti-war, and particularly 'pure' devotees may preach it, and a few may take a principled stand against it ... but in practice, Christians go to war in large numbers. (Exactly like Buddhists, I might add).

In general, the little Laotian mother trying to keep her house clean is not too concerned about the rights of cockroaches.

Like most religious adherents, most Buddhists essentially pay a class of professional adherents to be devout, so they don't have to be. :)
I agree with you for code samples in READMEs, but for actual code allow people to respectfully disagree [1].

The benefit of tabs is that you can open it in your editor and set you editor to view tabs at whatever your spacing preference (2 or 4 spaces).

That github doesn't let you specify the tab-sizing you wish to view the code at is no fault of the author's (it would be a nice feature for github to add).

Please don't throw PEP8 at me :)

Torture is wrong. Especially prolonged torture in the form of forced servitude. How can you claim any degree of moral backing for this practice when its science lacks merits and it is merely a toy of torture?
I sometimes wonder if the real issue isn't security so much as no one wants to admit an uneasy truth: the US is in decline and can no longer afford its military power.
You might want to be careful attributing beliefs that are part of Buddhist doctrine to people who avow that they are Buddhists. The overlap (for any religion, not just Buddhism) isn't all that large.
Over that time period is it more likely to be selective pressure or a founder effect?

A founder effect doesn't require continuous selective pressure, it just requires a population with a small group of founders from whom the entire population is descended. For instance, a group that splits off from a larger group, or passes through a population bottleneck. In this situation a set of genes -- inherited from the founder who is the common ancestor of the entire population -- can very rapidly become dominant in a population, not because they are beneficial but because there are no alternatives.

So in other words, if there is an Ashakenzi 'smart gene' it may not be a matter of the selective pressures of the Jewish condition over the last few hundred years, it might just be a matter of descending from a single very smart person.

I was referring to this:

> sandpaper is used to remove the waxy coating on the shell of the insect's head.

I interpreted the waxy coating as being something that was part of the head. Could be wrong.
It isn't even proven that the difference is genetic. There should be a study where they take Jewish kids that are raised in non-jewish families and look for the difference, then they should take non-jewish kids who were raised in a jewish families as jews and look for difference, even then it would not prove. For better measure they should take identical twins both jewish and non-jewish where one of the twin is raised as a jew and other as not jew. Even then they should take into account which environment they were in during prenatal period, jewish or non-jewish. Since these strict requirements are unrealistic to ever be achieved I view those types of arguments as more speculations than anything else. It is not a secret that even many scientists often fail to understand statistical data correctly, and in these kind of studies in particular there may even be certain motivation to project data at a certain "angle" to look it more like you want it to look.
That depends. Why are you going to work on open-source code. Do you have a way of getting paid to do this?
Morality is less about the victim and more about the actions of the oppressor. You can say 'screw cockroaches' all you want but how does that justify the savage action of torture?
Mental exercise:
1. Take the text replace Ashkenazi Jew with Arian
2. Trust me they (the nazis) had they scientists to proof exactly the same but with Arians.

And see how you kidnap "science" in the same of ideology. That's actually pretty ugly.

Unfortunatly your damn right. I would not trust anything coming from Sourceforge new ,yet it used to be THE place for open source projects...

Is their an opensource hosting service that provides a build service for binaries ? a little bit like Travis but just for builds , that would build bins for you and make it available to download ?
Paranoid overkill really. Suppose you didn't have access to a locked lead box and stored your extremely large sum in an envelope, you would feel silly in 10 years when you realized someone was able to steam the envelope and use the raised letters from the pressure when writing to reveal the key without removing the tamper proof seal.

There are better, more modern methods of applying a seal or printing but it increases the attack surface so for the truly paranoid, they should probably be avoided (unless using something like Shamirs Secret Sharing Algorithm).
Bintray is a another service that hosts binaries for open source projects. Seems nice:

All this stuff is kind of MBA 101, but much of it has been very useful for me in practice.

Some companies in my region have the "inside joke, work hard play hard, let's party after work" "culture" the slides mentioned, and it has zero bearing on the trajectory of the company. I'm sure everyone's having fun, but god forbid you're 30-something with kids who wants to make a real impact.

Interestingly, cultures like the above tend to come from the employees themselves, despite the CEO's intentions. I'm a firm believer that your culture is what your employees say about your company, not what you, the founder, says.

The performance + values quadrant is probably the most important thing to keep in mind when it comes to building a team. That, and "hire slow, fire fast"

This is a good article about trying to increase the Pentagon's efficiency. Of course, we're getting many typical extreme left comments on HN. It probably also worth discussing how to actually improve the organization so that it does run leaner and how to make contractors more accountable.

This is probably the main point:

"Fortunately, there are ways to cut defense spending without hurting military capabilities. Besides maintaining its war-fighting capability, DoD, like any entity, maintains a back-office bureaucracy to oversee its business functions. That overhead accounts for roughly 40 percent of its budget. It’s hard to compare different industries, or even government agencies, but one examination of 25 industries showed average overhead rates ranging from 13 to 50 percent, with the average across all industries being 25 percent. A RAND study of overhead and administration costs among defense contractors found them to be “tremendous drivers” of weapon costs at 35 percent. The largest domestic programs—Social Security and Medicare—get by with costs in the single-digits."

> This doesn't remind you of, say, a C64?

No, it doesn't. The C64 and other early home computers came with extensive instruction manuals detailing the memory map and all the language instruction. People would enter a program. They'd debug it. They'd modify it. They'd create their own programs.

Compare that to the toy - find bug, attach device, SCIENCE.

It's really shitty marketing.

> I've already mentioned several questions about the product that implicate "science" generally:

If they had any of those in any of the marketing or the instructions they might just be able to scrape by calling this a science toy. They don't. By your definition any toy becomes a science toy. Look! Drop it off a building! That's gravity!
Me too. This is an excellent resource. Cheat sheets hide what is happening and thus limit understanding.
No, breaking them may be. You don't need a good reason to follow a convention, since conventions themselves are good reasons, if you have no compelling reason /not/ to follow the convention, you should stick with it. This is why people use Helveticoids.

Just because you have a facetious comment to drop in doesn't mean it's correct.
Prolog does seem a reasonable fit for the problem space.

That said, even CFEngine's long winded syntax (born of its commitment to "promise theory") isn't so bad. In my experience I don't feel expressiveness of the available languages is the problem most I need of solving.

The real problems not being tackled by the existing configuration management tools are testing bundles/(play|cook)books/modules, cleanly injecting metadata to facilitate reuse and the bundle debugging workflow.

Today "Defense Budget" is an euphemism, it should be called "Attack Budget", or "Ministry of War" budget, like it was in the past.

US is today the main aggressor in the world, what China an Russia are doing by economic treaties, the US is using force alone. Afganistan, Iraq, Libia, Siria.

US is trying to force people in the world to keep using the petrodollar, but they had abused so much their power(printing it like crazy and exporting inflation and poverty to other countries), that the rest of the world is looking for alternatives, and they will find them.

All empires try to sustain past glories by force, from the Spanish empire in Nederlands to British Empire in India, Germany(France) and Japan(in China) before WWII. But empires come and go.
