A minor nitpick: the default setting is "Anyone on Google+" so they don't have to have any relationship with you at all.
This is pretty cool. It's kind of funny how after all the admin interfaces and fancy forms, people always end up wanting to just write their own custom SQL.

On the security front, the SQL blacklist definitely has to go. It's a false sense of security (ex: string concat + dynamic execution gets around it). The suggestion to use a read only user is a good one but even better is to use a read only database (ex: a Postgres replication slave).

Have you checked out JackDB? (http://www.jackdb.com/ full disclosure: I'm the founder) It's a full featured database client that runs entirely in your browser.
seriously? you should be properly indenting your code anyway, so it's not like python's making you do more than you should already.
Words are easier once you recognize that the official title of a person, product or organization actually communicates very little to people outside of the organization.

Working in communications, I've seen many instances of groups using acronyms and catchy titles to brand (or rebrand) themselves. For example:

- After much deliberation, a health care center decided to call its members "HARP," which stood for Health Advocacy Resource Personnel, to emphasize that they were focusing on preventative care.

- A law enforcement unit changing a job title from Community Outreach Officer to Street Worker in an effort to show that they were concentrating on gangs in high-crime neighborhoods.

Not surprisingly, no one outside of health care ever found out what "HARP" meant. And former gang members didn't build relationships with the police because some of them were called Street Workers.

My point is this: changing a title can entice someone to learn more about your organization and its members, but the title itself cannot - and will not - communicate all the nuances of a position. That's the responsibility of a messaging campaign.

I like that Hacker School has distilled the nuances of its members' roles into a blog post. The next step should be to develop focused messages that paint a picture of these students / hackers / developers / HackerSchoolers and what makes them unique.
what if the value differs for each user? a user might find generating 10000 reports will save them $60 while another user generating 1000 reports will save them $100? what if they don't know how reports they generate will save them any money at all or claim so?
"Colleague" is the term used in some European languages. But really--get over yourselves. No one really cares.
BMW's rear view cameras synthesize a top-down view of your car and the pavement around it. Quite remarkable to see in action.

This is not suitable for lane changing but I imagine creative use of cameras all around the vehicle and proper placement of LCD displays could make those mirrors look like dated technology.

I don't know what Tesla's implementation was but I am sure we can do better than mirrors with blind spots.
"Emailing Google+ connections also takes advantage of Gmail's new inbox's categories."

This seems broken for me, I have to delete both unwanted emails from my inbox in addition to the category, even though I dont use the categories feature per se.
Except that Facebook will also email you about that unless you opt-out just like Google+.

A shithead does this on all the PCs of the campus of my private IT engineering school at Paris, but with Litecoins. He has roughly 200PCs working for him with a custom linux image that he set up via DHCP. So he has just to power on every single computer and they automatically boot on his image to suck power from the school (and to make next to nothing).
By the time Google wins the social network war, it probably won't even be worth winning. The social network will be like usenet of last generation. Meanwhile they'll have succeeded in upsetting all the power users and uber geeks, who are the people lending credibility to their brand. And I certainly don't see the Snapchat generation coming along for the Google+ ride either.

It seems to be the only fully operational Tesla Model "X" yet in existence as we don't have any other media source who has spotted or covered this model before. Also, I personally think other car Mfg. need to support as Tesla cannot be the only manufacturer lobbying for side cameras instead of mirrors. The camera with sensors, and a rock solid software will ultimately do a superior job with blind spots than the mirrors.
Brain Drain from Iran
I feel bad for John Smith.
OP here. Both of these words do a good job of describing what someone does at Hacker School. I think the reason we've shied away from them is because they can sometimes come off as a bit pretentious. Given how young we are as an organization, we want to make sure to be humble.
I already get no emails and I doubt that will change. If some people I put on my google+ send me some emails then I'll welcome that. I wouldn't have put spam bots in my circles in the first place.

Agree that this should be opt-in only. Google may believe that people wouldn't use the feature if they had to go to the trouble of enabling it. BTW, it appears that this feature cannot be used to spam others. If you receive such an email and simply delete it, the sender will not be able to send you any more messages. That is, Google only lets senders continue to email you only if you respond to the first message.
Exactly, I'm just waiting for a greenfield project where I can try Knockout + React.
Isn't this the same as Twitter emailing you the contents of a DM everytime someone DMs you? Because the person sending the mail doesn't actually see your email address, only your username.
You are describing positions of leadership -- a leader doesn't need to communicate downwards (with their title) to the street gangs or to the patients. They are going to lead those people, so it is unnecessary.

The people from hacker school are going to be lead, and mostly not hired straight into a position of leadership, so it is necessary to communicate to the leaders-to-be a title which communicates well what that person has been up to, because everything that person does will be taken into account by that leader-to-be, and more closely inspected than the gang member or patient will inspect the title of the person helping them.
that's the point - Egypt didn't take necessary measures for their food security.

I lived through food/gas shortages and high prices at the end of USSR so i think i know how Egypt people felt. Now living in the US i appreciate the US disregard for international free trade agreements when it comes to food and gas - i.e. farmers subsidies and prohibition for oil export - thus making sure that shortages and high-prices of 197x have much less chances of happening again. Free trade is a great idea, yet it works only when implemented by all participants to the same extent and it just doesn't make any sense when implemented unilaterally (or by minor number of participants and/or to different degree).

I totally get this. My gmail address is a treasure, and I treat it as such. I hand it out to people that I'm OK getting emails from. Everyone else gets a work email or a misc email that I check less often.

Beyond that, since Google uses emails for login, this essentially gives someone half of the equation to hack your account.

It also enables spammers to quickly collect legit emails for their spam lists.
I both hope and fear that you're right.

We all-to-often see people more interested in voting for and supporting things based on "what am I going to get out of this" as opposed to more vital abstract things like "is this right". What's best for me, personally, right this moment, rather than what is better for society and the freedom of the individual in the future.

So, I suspect you may be right about that motivation and I fear what will happen that will finally lead people to care about the issue (because of their own personal impact; rather than giving a damn about it as an issue at large). More, I wonder if whatever causes that will come too late.

People are now old enough to vote, who have no concept of a country that didn't have a TSA, DHS, didn't use the word "Homeland", didn't have razor-wire-fenced-in "free speech pens", and wasn't constantly under some vague threat of terrorism. Their kids are going to grow up in a world where they will not have known a time when everything they did wasn't monitored, archived, and used against them and where they had any expectation of privacy.

I fear that we'll become successively more accustom to each infringement and invasion with no expectation of it being otherwise and will therefore accept those "minor" infringements over our life time, which then become the basis point for the next generation.
You'd be surprised how often chargebacks are necessary when you're dealing with smaller businesses as a consumer. If you only ever deal with Amazon, Overstock.com, etc... then you, as a consumer, won't have much need for chargebacks. These are well-established public companies that care about their reputations. But when dealing with smaller businesses... the exact segment that bitcoin advocates keep saying that bitcoin is best for... you wind up with a much more frequent situation of people being unable or unwilling to deliver the goods you paid for. True, this was the only time I've ever had to do a PayPal dispute, but it was damned nice that it was there since I could get my $40 back. And, as I said, this is a company I'd been enjoying the freemium content of for for 5 years (actually, 7 I just looked it up) and I trusted to place an order from.
:-)

I completely agree that Julia and SciPy are complementary rather than competing. I've attended the SciPy conference for several years and it's great – I love the Python and SciPy communities. It's definitely crucial to both be able to easily call existing C and Fortran libraries and write code in the high-level language that's as fast as it would have been in C. You don't want to reimplement things like BLAS, LAPACK and FFTW – but you do want to be able to implement new libraries without coding in Fortran or C, and more importantly, be able to write them in a very generic, reusable fashion.
I tried what you said and I could definitely feel my eye moving. Is that being synthesized by my brain?
Exactly. Perhaps parent has lost it.

I don't know if you know Jake from Insight Data Science, but he calls his students fellows and his program a fellowship: http://insightdatascience.com/

Per the point you were making in your essay, though, he does this because most of his students are post-docs and (1) they understand what a "fellowship" is and (2) do not necessarily want to be a "student" again. To a postdoc, especially, student implies having to pay for it.

The other folks upthread are sort of missing the point, honestly, because when it comes to a word like "student," it touches on issues of identity and association. When someone (e.g., a friend) asks your students, "What are you doing?" they're going to respond with, "Oh, I'm an X at Hacker School."

You want X to be something the students feel comfortable saying to friends, families, and co-workers. Whether "fellow" is too pretentious or not depends on who your students are and who they'll be saying "I'm an X" to.

You’re just eyeballs. Body parts and ad-targeting data. Google doesn’t care about you at all. You’ve tolerated enough already that it’s pretty clear you’re not really going anywhere.

Couldn't you say the same about any company? Say, developers and Apple?

You're just dollar signs and app figures. Apple doesn't care about you at all. You've tolerated enough already that it's pretty clear you're not really going anywhere.
This feature doesn't reveal your email address unless you reply. And the message goes to the 'social' tab if you're using the tabbed inbox (it'll probably be easy to filter if you're not, but I have no idea)

I really doubt spammers are going to find these useful for harvesting.
>The difference is that you don't need to know what the person's email address is.

And that prevents what exactly... people sending you email? I don't get it.
Yesql - Clojure SQL queries rethought
I have used it.

Adoption was good especially for simple queries, people were less focused on the language, and more focused on exploring/modifying examples.

For people who are already familiar with SQL and as you said, less interested in the query language, it may be almost immediately frustrating.

I can absolutely see circumstances where it would be overkill, I have never tried to use it as a performance critical tool, just as more an easy thing to slap on to ease access, two aspects that I have found useful on more than one occasion:

1. HTRAF toolkit is convenient for very basic visualization (depending upon the audience this can be very useful to have at hand quickly)

2. multiple output formats (json in particular) has been helpful in terms of quickly hacking together prototypes in the past
Cameras offer meaningful range improvements for electric vehicles by cutting aerodynamic drag. I hope they make it to production.
Today is Christmas for the recruiting industry
You're right, just found this:

"Your email address isn't visible to your Google+ connections until you send them an email, and their email addresses are not visible to you until they respond."

Doesn't change my opinion on the 'feature,' but does make it less painful. I wonder if the backlash in this thread has more to do with people's distaste for Marco than it does with the issue at hand.
I wouldn't say their semantics have changed but certainly their implementation. The fact that Intel used to recommend against using them but now advises the opposite, suggests that scas/cmps (memchr/memset) could be next. In any case, the thought of one machine instruction doing better than lots of carefully hand-written assembly is nice.
Nissan has this feature too; Nissan's implementation is a bit better in that they use four cameras.
I'm sure that a lot of XP machines in the corporate world aren't connected to the internet either. For example, there's no reason to give a bunch of low-level employees in the accounting department access to the internet, and if their company's internal software runs fine on IE8 (or as native code), there's no particular reason to move away from XP. PCs on a factory floor that control industrial machinery probably aren't connected to the internet either.
Yeah, those are nice -- and may actually be more efficient on smaller files, as you're only doing the lower() once on a big string. However, for big files you don't necessarily want to read the whole thing in at once.

One nitpick: it's Pythonic (I think) to just name the list of words "words" rather than "word_list".
What, exactly, makes it stupid? Worst-case scenario: a few people email you, you get annoyed, delete their emails, and opt-out. Am I missing something?
I totally agree with this. Knowing absolutely nothing about Hacker School, it was a great surprise to me that their customers aren't students and that they are uncomfortable with calling themselves a school in the first place.

The thing is, I was very comfortable in my ignorance, because "Hacker School" has an extremely strong connotation that I didn't really have any interest in, and so I didn't go and look to their webpage to find that they're actually a "writers' retreat for programmers" -- which sounds MUCH more intriguing to me!

If they had instead gone with some acronym or made-up word or something to which I can't immediately assign a definition, I'd have taken the time to learn.
From what I've read, they don't see your email nor will. Not sure how this is half the equation to hack your account and also doesn't give spammers anything. Please be realistic.
The difference is that the base struct can call methods on the derived struct, whereas this is not possible with that kind of struct embedding. This is important for some use cases (e.g. the DOM or the render tree).
They do need to know my email address, which isnt publicly available.
They can add me on google+, which I dont care about, I do however care about anyone who can sign up an account sending me annoying emails.
Hey, hackers of hackerschool, can you help me out? I'm trying to populate opinions about the school here: http://schools.techendo.co/schools/hacker-school

It will help out others to decide where to attend and offer some advice from an insider's perspective on these types of schools.
After reading the helpful wikipedia article posted elsewhere in this thread, it seems like the "city" is (or became) a refugee camp. So on old maps (the paper kind digitized by UT--and probably known to Google) it was just a wayside or a small market with a few houses. Geopolitical events led 10's of thousands of people to amass and settle there in a short time. Few places change that fast, but it's not unknown: mining booms and subsequent ghost towns (in a ghost town, the satellite image makes it look larger than its population really is).

This is further reminder that maps are not ever complete, nor intemporal. The human world (roads, buildings) change quite rapidly in both growth and decline.
The difference is you have to be following the sender, otherwise they can't DM you. Though it's pretty silly and Twitter did remove the restriction recently, temporarily. They'll need to work on it if they want to make DMs more useful.

Anyway, I do actually think this is useful functionality. It can only be sent from another GMail user, so Google will quickly know if it's being abused.
People run into each other all the time with laser tag and people can actually see each other in that case.
I would be concerned about people running into each other and into physical objects because of their lack of visual feedback on their reality.

Say for example, two people facing each other with a virtual wall between them. If both accidentally try to walk "though" the wall they would simply collide with each other, potentially causing injury or damage to equipment.

Not to be a buzzkill, I'd love a system that actually could support this, in theory a large room with many freedom of movement devices (like what Virtuix Omni is working on) would allow this idea in a much smaller space and no risk of players colliding.
The default is they do not need to be in your circles.
Where can I find this? Can't seem to find a download link on forrst.

Would love to provide some feedback :)

I love it! Have you considered actually building it?

I don't really understand sending rendered images over wifi but perhaps you could just build small computers or laptops to go in the backpacks?

You could also put an ultrasonic transducer on each player and do triangulation on that?
On some tour buses in China, the rear view camera's position is adjustable with a joystick on the dashboard.
If Google built this as "people can send you messages on Google+," and you get a notification in G+, wouldn't that be perfectly normal for a social network? And in addition to that notification, you get an email, saying that "John Smith has sent you a message on Google+," isn't that pretty normal as well? Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn all do this by default.

I don't think it's that much different if the from: tag is changed from "Google+ Notifications" to "John Smith" and the subject is changed accordingly. The in-Gmail treatment looks reasonable to me, based on Google's blog post. [edited for clarity]
I don't think "apprenticeship" is a fitting label. It implies that participants are newbies (some are, some aren't) or that there is some kind of structure or training.
