Great question - and as a side note, sorry to the people on HN I'm going to be bothering about this for the next 6 months. We're building this for Hackers and this is where they live - should be a mutually beneficial relationship though.

Anyway, you don't have to put your username/password into PaidEZ's site - the API can be integrated anywhere. But that said, I don't think that was your point - you're right that the client (browser, app, whatever) KNOWS the username and password while it's oAuthing into the bank, but that's always the case when you login to your online banking. Short of that, we do not know it.

But you're right, that is another layer of vulnerability. No two ways around that, and one that we take very seriously. It's not, however, an added layer of vulnerability compared to entering a Credit Card number - that has the exact same problem, and it's a larger problem because canceling or changing a Credit Card when it's stolen is a BITCH of a process. Changing your password and reversing payments with PaidEZ and your online banking is a breeze.

I should add, nobody has ever had a security issue with PaidEZ up to this point, and we've processed thousands of transactions. I understand that doesn't mean much right now (if it means anything at all), but I don't want to give the impression we've had any security breaches up to this point. We have not.
The article makes a mess of some basic facts.

The painting is from 1898, when the woman in it was 24. [1]

Not she, but her granddaughter left the apartment in 1942. The apartment was opened in 2010, which is 68 years later, not "over 70".

"...incredibly difficult to untangle the effects of culture from those of biology..." followed a few sentences later immediately by dismissal of consideration that "the age of brain structure maturation is determined by which toys a child plays with".

Sigh.

Honest question: do you even read what you fucking write?
Now, do you have anything at all cogent to say about the obvious cultural and economic forces that create differences?

Let's think about this.

We know there are differences in brain chemistry between males and females, and those difference surge around puberty when sex hormones are flooding the system (rather than appearing gradually over time as a result of playing with different toys).

That said, the fact that males and females have different brains doesn't preclude other culture differences.

But why are these differences so similar across nearly every culture?

A close relative of ours might explain this: Monkeys! Male monkeys prefer playing with traditional male toys, like trucks and balls, while female monkeys prefer playing with traditional female toys, like dolls. Predisposition to prefer certain types of stimulus is quite likely hardcoded in every one of us. The study was conducted on two different species of monkey:

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn13596-male-monkeys-pre...
It's very interesting that you bring up toys as an example, because it turns out there is quite good evidence that gender toy preferences are partially genetic. Think about this: if toy preference is just a social construction, if we removed all social pressure regarding toy selection, would boys and girls still prefer different toys?

It turns out the answer is yes. In 2002, a (very influential) study was performed on vervet monkeys and found that male vervet monkeys showed significantly greater interest in the masculine toys (i.e. a ball and a police car), and the female vervet monkeys showed significantly greater interest in the feminine toys (a doll and a red pan). There wasn't much difference in preference for the neutral toys.

One study is not enough to show such a trend. So in 2008, the study was repeated a different species of monkey (rehesus) and a different set of toys. The authors found the same results: males preferred stereotypically male toys, and females preferred stereotypically female toys.

So we have two studies in two species of primates that found that males prefer "masculine" toys, and females prefer "feminine" toys. From this, it is fairly plausible that innate differences in toy preference will show up in humans as well.

Lol. Nice. You literally created an account to say this to me.

I hate to break it to you but I just commented to have the article in my comment history so I can revisit it.

All your butthurt was for naught.
In fact, in Java this is the only way to simulate structs as POD rather than paying for the overhead of an array of objects.
Not nearly as organized, but yes, absolutely.

One of the difficulties of a screen is that you can't control how far away the reader is from the screen. With a book and mobile device the user can easily adjust distance to match their preference—on a screen you can make the type responsive to screen size, but if someone is closer to the screen or further away there isn't much that I know of that can help get this dialed.
Having presented at a meetup in your office, I can say you have some pretty nice digs as well.
Based on the above comment I was expecting like $20/lb tea...not $275/lb.

I just checked and I got a box of Bigelow from Food Lion (don't judge). Based on the net weight on the box, it's a little under $35/lb granted it is a small box so buying in bulk would definitely bring that down. So I can't imagine what $6/lb tea would taste like but I'm not sure I can justify $275/lb either.

This is my cheap-ass tea by the way:

Feel free to suggest something that might amount to a 2x-5x price increase rather than 10x.

There is not one bit of useful information in this article. It's just an breezy overview.
If you have a growth and the doctor advises you to remove it, do you ask him what will he replace it with?

Irrelevant, because the OP isn't advocating removing a growth; he's advocating "removing" my entire body structure. If a doctor advised you to get a body transplant, would you not feel the need to ask him what your body was going to be replaced with?
"A master of C must have the same views of what's important and the same writing style that I do"

I don't know if you're airing your thoughts on this paper specifically, or on "this type of research" in general.

If it is about this particular paper, the entirety of the paper is actually up (the link at the bottom of the article). I gave it a skim. This research isn't about "what are the root causes of differential behavoir in boys and girls", but "what are the structural changes in the human brain that occur in humans as they mature", and their data set also shows that while the same structural changes occur in both boys and girls (more or less anyways), just that they tend to occur sooner/faster in girls.

In other words, there's no attempt to look for "genetic reasons".

Now that the specific case as been addressed, I'm going to try to deal with your general concern, which I feel is certainly valid. The nature vs nurture debate is long-standing, and it certainly looks like with every stone we turn over, we just find more and more layers of interactions between nature and nurture.

The short answer for why we are looking for genetic factors, is that if we do find strong genetic factors, despite all the noise that nurture injects, that it's likely going to be a very robust effect, which circularly means that since its robust enough to not be overwhelmed by "nurture", then its pretty much guaranteed to be useful enough despite the nurture aspect.

I didn't miss any points. Every package manager can accept a list of packages. You missed learning the most basic fundamentals of your OS. And once again, the specific tool does not matter. They all do the same thing, and they all do it in an error prone and ill-conceived way. Hell, nix is a better "CM" tool than the real ones, and it is just a package manager.

No they are not. I've probably been doing system administration longer than you have been alive. I've used everything from cfengine to salt. They all cause more problems than they solve.

In the last month I had success crowdfunding (and subsequently creating) and online course about running a bitcoin arbitrage bot. I set up the crowdfund on https://www.uludum.org/ and added a link to it from my blog, which was the primary source of traffic. I've had just over $1,000 in sales since then.

The crowdfund: https://www.uludum.org/funds/2

If anyone has any questions about 'publishing' or using this model on Uludum, I'm the creator, so I'd be extremely happy to answer any questions. I think it can be a pretty good model for the type of knowledge sharing people are doing here.
There's a lot of bootleggers for cigarettes in NYC. I've found many places, mainly in Brooklyn, that sell Virginia cigarettes. Big selections too!

Alcohol flows plentifully and relatively cheaply here though although I hear there are speak easies.

So I guess the moral is, if you tax it so much people are paying exorbitant amounts for it, you may end up creating a bootlegger's market, especially if you don't have to cross any national borders with the product.
Isn't this why browsers have text zoom? On Firefox if I want to make text larger I can simply do cmd + or ctrl +. Assuming the site is coded well, the text will flow accordingly.

Among other things, you seem confused about the meaning of 'agent provocateur'.

An agent provocateur a law enforcement agent who infiltrates a group. Once there, they get violent in order to justify reprisals against the group.

I don't see how any of the alternatives you refer to are "burning the system to the ground". They're just incremental changes to the system we have. (That's not to say I think they're necessarily bad ideas; just that they don't seem to be the kind of ideas that the OP is advocating.)
I'm looking for someone to take over the day-to-day at PaleoPax, and (possibly, eventually) buy the site. All it needs now is more traffic - conversions are good and sales are quite profitable. Hit me up if you're interested in chatting about the details!
Yeah, it had your actual name AND your address.
You're right that back then the expectations were a lot higher, but I don't think anyone even then expected it to replace Perl 5 that fast.

Also, Perl 6 turned out rather quickly to become a new language (although very much in the spirit of earlier Perls), while Python 3 was, as far as I can see (I'm not really a Python person) as an update to fix some important issues in the language, which despite by necessity being backwards incompatible, was intended to still be the same language.

I'm going to repeat what I said above: "There's not much more I can say that I haven't already said, as some of the conversations I've had were explicitly off the record." I'm not going to repeat things that aren't true or that I don't have data for. But I also can't break the trust of people who've spoken with me privately. I will say I did my homework on YC. I've reached the limit of what I can say publicly.
thoughtbot - New York City, Denver, Philadelphia, Raleigh, San Francisco, Boston, or Stockholm - Designer or Developer - Full Time

At thoughtbot, we're looking for expert designers who make things people want with simple, beautiful design and code.

Here are the skills we look for, in order of importance:

• Product design

• Interaction design

• Visual design

• Coding (HTML, CSS; Javascript/Coffeescript and iOS optional)

Our designers make web and mobile products for our clients. They are responsible for making sure the team builds the right product. They simplify and ship often. They work directly with users to gather feedback. They make decisions about how (or whether) to integrate that feedback.

We prioritize how the product works but also expect a high level of visual refinement. Our designers must have excellent understanding of grids, typography, color, and design principles in order to build high-quality, compelling products.

We start many new projects with a Product Design Sprint: http://playbook.thoughtbot.com/#product-design-sprint

Our designers code. See http://github.com/thoughtbot/bourbon and https://github.com/thoughtbot/neat for examples showing the level of their HTML/CSS expertise. They stay up-to-date with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines (HIG). We believe coding is critical in order to tighten feedback loops and iterate more often.

We have a strong teaching and learning culture. Our designers' abilities and coding skills improve every day. We welcome applicants with some combination of HTML/CSS/JavaScript/iOS skills, but believe we can teach these on the job more so than product, interaction, or user experience design.

We're also hiring Ruby, JavaScript, and iOS developers in all our locations, and an office manager in New York City.

We have some great benefits, including unlimited PTO, paying for 50% of conference expenses and 100% if you're speaking, and our Investment Day every Friday for continuous improvement. We don't do client work that day, and instead spend that time giving back to ourselves, the company, and the community. For example, our open source projects (http://github.com/thoughtbot) and blog posts (http://robots.thoughtbot.com.)

Please apply at thoughtbot.com/jobs.
Very, very hard to read due to way too large font. I immediately had to zoom out in order to read it.

I don't think the author can show that this big font provides better readability.

One can easily make assumptions on how far the average reader views the screen and optimize the font size to that. As the comments here show, the font size selection here is too large.

I am in exactly same situation.

The main problem with "the spiral of learning" is the wasted energy required to switch tasks.

If I could just stick with one thing until I mastered it, I would be much more efficient. Trying to go back to things I haven't done in a while requires a long period of time for re-familiarization with material I already used to know.
Does this apply even if you do not have a physical presence in California?

If you can consider random poor people in front of supermarkets and older friends and as illegal markets, then there is.

If you have the right (or wrong, depends on how you view it) friends, then booze will be almost always available. Your friend doesn't necessarily need to be old enough to buy the booze, since if she/he has the contacts to yet older friends then you can understand how the buying circulates trough different levels. This way you don't necessarily need more than one middleman to buy vodka at age of 17.

Tobacco gets usually passed on the same way as booze, but at least in case of snus there are usually known groups which adopt the use. For example, hockey players are known to use snus, so there's high chance that you can buy some from them. And you don't need to know more than one hockey player, as the players know which one of their teammates has the stuff and when.

In cases where some known groups have the substances and the interest to sell them, you could consider it as somewhat centralized market. The people who run the market don't likely think it as one, but that's up to the viewer. After all, the way the liquer and tobacco gets spread may seem like there's no market at all.
FYI, you can get a plug-in such as Stylish for a lot of browsers that will let you override styles for specific sites. For lightly formatted discussion sites that I visit often, I typically set a font and a (max-)width for comments and related material that I find comfortable.

For HN, I personally set a max-width of 700px on .comment and pre blocks, to go with fonts of around 18px. If anyone new to Stylish wants the exact overrides I use to paste in verbatim, feel free to ask and I’ll look them up.

Well, they do say that she kept on paying her rent, so she probably also paid residence tax (or maybe she didn't have to, since she didn't live there) as well as utilities, which probably just never got upgraded. Maybe they were just turned off, if she cancelled her contracts after leaving Paris. The landlord paid ownership tax.

I'm not sure why the pipes or windows should have broken during this time.

Having lived in both Europe in the US for large part of my life, I can tell you that this completely misses the mark.

Yes, you can be ID'd, but what law enforcement can get away with in the US would be inconceivable in most of Western Europe. I was never afraid of the cops before I came to the states.

Mercaris - Chicago, IL - Rails Developer

Mercaris is a data service and trading platform for identity preserved (Organic, non-GMO) agricultural commodities (corn, wheat, soybeans, etc.). We are currently raising a series A after closing a seed round and getting early traction. Things are going well and we are excited to be expanding the team! Not only are we a startup (the team went through Excelerate 2011, which is now Techstars Chicago) but we are working on a real problem that should help companies meet the rising consumer demand for healthier food options. What I love about posting this job on HN is it is a community of people who get excited about this kind of thing :)

You will be our first engineering hire (outside of myself) and will contribute to the website, the data collection tool, subscription reports and our auction platform. All are currently Rails, with a live trading platform under development that is Erlang/Elixir. The front end relies on jQuery and some graphing libraries. The code is ripe for some refactoring (don't worry, it isn't awful, but we pursued a few directions that we did not end up going in). You will have a large degree of flexibility to add functionality, clean things up, upgrade libraries, etc. with the strong caveat that you must write tests to make sure that you don't break anything and that you test browser compatibility. Ideally you should have enough experience to be able to contribute immediately but not so much as to be bored. Some other potentially interesting projects that will need to be tackled include a more robust testing suite and continuous integration.

I work out of a combination of 1871 and from home, so schedule will be flexible. I like to provide a fair degree of autonomy, but that only works with a large degree of communication. We use Asana to track tasks and email/phone/in person meetings to ask questions, discuss features, etc.

Salary will be dependent on experience. Options, 401k and health insurance are also part of the compensation package.

If this sounds interesting, please send me a note to chris at mercariscompany.com and let's talk. Thanks!
All true, but some people can be spurred/motivated/whatever into doing things they might not be in the frame of mind to really want to do at that point in time.
