The answer, I think, is for each individual to take more individual responsibility, save their money, work in contracted increments, and go on vacation between contracts.

That's been my approach for the last few years, except I do it as a full-time employee. Your employer gives you 2 weeks paid vacation, but you can also take additional time as unpaid vacation. I have averaged 6 weeks of vacation per year for the last 5 years by taking a month unpaid each year.
First off, who cares if the top result now gives you no annotations? No one cared about annotations until rapgenius started adding them so people could know what the more obscure portions of rap lyrics meant and then they gamified the shit out of it so that every single word in a song would be annotated so that you now know the meaning of "I set fire to homes, arsonist" is because it helpfully explains that an arsonist is someone who sets fires. And then put annotations everywhere even on their stupid blog posts, it's like they just discovered HyperCard.

I live in Czech Republic and my Zyxel from O2 has port 7547 open (Allegro RomPager 4.07) and you can't do anything about it. There is no editor on the installed linux version (cropped down linux, probably openWRT or something similar), no package manager no nothing.

If I flash the firmware warranty is void and I have no user/pass to re-enable the ADSL. So basically, my router is a hostile AP.

Given the fact that, it's a common pattern among ISPs in order to offer quick service - I firmly believe that ISPs do it for practical reasons - and end up killing your security, the best thing is to put the router in bridged mode and get a cheap custom-made router like carambola2[1] and install FreeBSD[2] on it.

Disclosure: I donated one of these devices to Adrian Chadd[3] in order for him to port FreeBSD on this device, which enabled me to use PF[4] - my favorite firewall - but I have no affiliation otherwise with 8devices or FreeBSD.

Admittedly, This isn't my area of expertise. However that's a 30 second google search compared to your "people I know say he's a buffoon" argument.

Given you are an anonymous voice in the inter-webs who may not even know how to get to UCSF, I'm pretty comfortable with my current assessment.

I can certainly be convinced otherwise, but "my buddies think he's a kook" is not exactly doing it for me.

Thanks for the detail! One of the folks I'm working with is having trouble banging their head against a big co, but it's good to hear you didn't have such issues. Hadn't thought about it in terms of price, beyond individual budget expense caps...

Awesome to see how far it's come, yeah!
Unless Obamacare eliminated COBRA (haven't checked but I doubt it), you get to keep your health insurance for 1 year after you leave a job. The out of pocket cost is 101% of what your employer paid.

So basically, this is only a problem if you want a 13 month vacation.
Poaching the lead dev to work on your own fork is a hostile move, and in my book, it provides a reasonable excuse for the delays, since nobody was able to take his succession immediately.

Odds, not probability. Probability p means odds of p:(1-p) or, if you prefer writing it as a fraction, p/(1-p).

(Note 1. The odds of a thing are the ratio Pr(thing) : Pr(not thing). You can generalize this to any mutually exclusive and exhaustive set of things: the odds are the ratio of the probabilities. The fact that there may therefore be more than 2 such things is the reason why I prefer not to turn odds into fractions as above.)

(Note 2. Bayes' theorem is, as others have mentioned, much nicer when you work with odds rather than probabilities for your prior and posterior probabilities. If you're comfortable with logarithms, it's nicer still when you work with logarithms of odds. Now you're just adding the vector of log-likelihoods to the prior odds vector to get the posterior odds vector. Which is how I think of the question above, at least if I'm allowed to be sloppy and imprecise. You start with almost exactly 10 bits of prior prejudice for "fair" over "two-headed", then you get exactly 10 bits of evidence for "two-headed" over "fair", at which point those cancel out almost exactly so you should assign almost equal probabilities to those two possibilities.)
As a tangent, I read this earlier today and then got annoyed at not having a quick URL shortener on hand (I got spoiled at my last job, where I could use internal shortcuts for complex URLs like create new Google Doc / link to specific doc, etc).

So, decided to write my first Chrome extension, modelled loosely on your domain name hashing, and here it is: https://github.com/jennielees/jump

I see, I guess what I am thinking is that if you are applying pressure to one pin, you must be applying (at least some) pressure to all the other pins since you apply the pressure via torque from turning the cylinder which turns (presumably?) uniformly from front to back. I guess the entire cylinder can jostle slightly within its chamber, so that could affect where and how pressure from torque is applied.

That was actually the original idea. To use math questions as an alarm style but we opted to go with the Shake to wake option to get people moving in the morning. Plus it's more tactile and goes well with the other alarm styles of slapping the phone to snooze and flipping the phone over to turn off alarms.
Where do you draw the line on "physical dependence" though? Arguably even the most-pure psychological addiction can even be crammed in there if given sufficient force, since you'll produce chemical imbalances if you're in withdrawal, like "I lack coffee. Bring it or someone dies." headaches.

(serious question, btw. I'm not sure where I draw it, so it usually ends up subjective, which I would like to minimize.)

There is of course the extreme, like with our physical dependence on vitamin C. Somewhere back in our evolution we lost the ability to synthesize it, probably because it was abundant in food. Now we die if we don't get it. I doubt you are referring to that, though.

With respect to real estate investors provide liquidity as there is not always an end user who is willing to buy at the time you want to sell.

As far as "squatting on my company name" the majority of the vitriol on HN regarding domain names is not directed at "squatting on my company name" (to which there are clearly defined rules and procedures for recovering a domain (UDRP)) but just at the general idea of someone getting a domain and holding it to sell at a later date.

As far as "to either buy from them or change the company/product name" we are talking the year 2014 here. If you are starting a new company you should be taking into account whether the domain name you want is available. People don't, I know this for multiple reasons. One is that I get assignments to buy domains for startups that have already branded (which they shouldn't have done) and then come and say "I need this domain what can you do for me?" (in so many words).

Now if you are an established company and all the sudden woke up in 2014 and want your domain well then I guess that's to bad. Even back 10 years ago big corporations had this problem because the people they hired didn't know enough to lock up their domains. Either because they were inept or because they didn't feel it was important to have (so what can you say about that?)
OK, so now imagine that there are 1000000 double-headed coins, 1000000 double-tailed coins, and one fair coin. Now (1) there's still (potentially) randomness present, so it's not "completely different" from the original problem, but (2) the ignore-the-data approach gives an obviously wrong answer whereas using the data gives a believable answer.
That's neat I hadn't considered CalDAV. There'll be a mobile stylesheet at least, I want that for my own use.

Are you sure you read it? She says the ten day thing is to show people some results so they understand that the process actually does something, but that it's not meant as a ten day fix at all. She also says it's important not just to skip gluten for the hell of it, but to see if you're actually getting anything positive out of that and using that knowledge to make an informed decision. I didn't see anything in the article at all that could be considered a beauty tip.
> It's pretty hard to square the alleged seizure of all privately transmitted data with the Fourth Amendment.

"Seizure" would imply the government taking custody of something away from the owner, which is not what's going on during a bitcopy.

Search is closer, but you missed noticing one of the most important words: " ...against unreasonable searches and seizures".

In other words if the search can be construed "reasonable" for any reason (which is very much a "judgment call") then it is automatically Constitutional (even if it's not automatically legal, which can be a separate consideration).

Additionally the NSA is not seizing all privately transmitted data (which is in any event physically impossible). Either they have to be selective about what metadata is retained long-term, or they have to buffer everything but only for a short term in which case they are acting very much like a "common carrier" with an exceptionally bad problem of bufferbloat.

But either way, there's another problem: The data being "searched" isn't your data, it's someone else's data (at a different ISP or host) that happens to be bit-for-bit identical to the data you transmitted, which means any 4th Amendment claim would be theirs to make, not yours. So I would be careful about how strictly you try to read into the Fourth Amendment, as only the "judicial activist" interpretations of it would possibly exclude electronic surveillance of the type now done by NSA.
I will say yes merely to avoid being the guy without enough imagination.

But the technical hurdle is quite high. As chm notes, all you need to do is generate a standing waveform that has enough nodes in the right configuration. Which is fairly difficult: this is an exciting project, and has only one node. (The extra nodes are higher order fringes and are noise.)

But, if you figure out how to generate a fringe pattern that happens to be what you're looking for, well, you're made then! But that may be immensely difficult to do.

But I'm not a signals guy, so there may be some powerful tricks 'n transforms that make this a tractable problem.

So... Basically no, this far from being a display technology, but there's no reason to think it couldn't be at some point in the future. Personally, it could be useful as a 3D plotter, or something that displays a few spares particles interacting (like an air traffic control radar map visualizer - useless but cool).
I'm sure many are cringing at how this well-intentioned message was delivered. But we're all willing to turn a blind eye in favor of scouring any positive tidbit from it.

A PIR is a lot more energy efficient than continually doing motion detection. It's also a lot more accurate - it looks at Infrared rather than just movement (which can be caused by a moving curtain or flashing light, say)

Are you the author of the article?

For now, I'm assuming yes. Aside from the questions on how to define good morals, and how such morals are best passed on, the main issue I had with the article is that it seemed to be a case of 'when you have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail'. Have you considered that technology may, in this case, not be the best tool for the job? I'd say the arts and our common culture has more room to be a positive influence on our collective consciousness than the application of some sort of clinically derived morality-inducing technology. Humanity doesn't need to be "fixed", it needs room to grow. Look at what holds back that room to grow and you'll have a much clearer picture of what can be done.

IANAL, legal or otherwise:

US perspective: A frmr roommate and his family came here illegally but then later hired immigration attys that somehow acquired citizenship for the whole family. Not sure how that happened: one could speculate at loophole exploitation on one hand but discount the productivenes of the family of 7 children. They grew up with nothing and ended up as university-educated, UHNWIs paying taxes. All 7. (And most have a huge house each that must cost a fortune to maintain.)

Objectively speaking, that is unlikely a valid observation. Anyone with any dietary intolerance is more likely to read product labels, and thus more aware of what is in their food. It is not necessarily true, then, that avoiding fructose alone is making a label-conscious shopper healthier.

This brings to mind a speech by Arianna Huffington, who argued that too many professionals in D.C. brag about never getting rest.

She was on a date with a man who bragged, "I only got three hours of sleep last night." Huffington replied, "This dinner would be more interesting if you had gotten six."
Ah, I wish. I'm not in a financial position to relocate to even a better US city right now. In time, perhaps.
I'd say that remembering that I have to die one day — and not knowing when it will be — makes me seize the day.
Sure, but that doesn't help you either, as there are many other precedents besides NSA programs for situations where the government can compel a search without a warrant. This is permitted by that pesky little word "unreasonable" in the Fourth Amendment.
Which just goes to show that the underlying mechanism is a very general one. I wonder how many other (to quote Daniel Ariely) "predictably irrational" human behaviours can be explained using this model, and if this insight will lead to better interventions elsewhere.
I think looking at the analogy to a marathon gives the best comparison.

If you've run a marathon, you trained months for it and you have run the 26 miles (made your startup ramen-profitable) then then you can take time off.

If you haven't even run a marathon yet, yeah maybe you've run 5mi a couple of times, what do you want to take time off from? You need to run 15mi another 10 times now and the run the 26 mi marathon. Then you can take time off.

I think once a startup is ramen profitable, the founders can take some time off, because then it's much more about making the right strategy decisions, which formally take 0 time. It's just a matter of connecting all the variables correctly and that works much better in a balanced mind than in an overworked mind.

If the product of the startup isn't even finished though or it doesn't have traction yet, putting in the hours is much more needed than creativity, because thinking about strategy is a waste of time anyway before you get to the next milestone. It will all change once you launch anyway.
That's not what the author said, though. He said what you quoted, which supports his point about feeling justified (instead of guilty) when taking vacations.

He didn't say "take a vacation so you can work better."
"Attendees [...] learned a technique called "pre-hindsight" that uses emotional cues to create more foolproof plans. It works like this: Imagine that six months have passed, and you haven't achieved the body of your dreams. How surprised are you? The less surprised you are, the less likely it is you will succeed at your goal. Then think in detail about each reason you wouldn't be surprised if June comes and the number on the scale hadn't budged. Each reason—whether "I don't have time" or "I don't like running in the mornings"—is a possible cause of failure. Using the surprise level to anticipate these is crucial to creating a plan to address each weak point."

I like this technique a lot. Thinking about how surprised you'd be if you do not achieve your objective.

I think the technique has similarities with the exercise that Steven Covey writes about in "The Seven Habits" where you must think about what you want other people to say about you at your funeral. It engages you in a special kind of way, perhaps helping you to uncover knowledge that you did not know you held.
Somewhat tangentially related, but it's been bugging me for a while -- is every brogrammer in America really this ridiculously attractive, or are hackers using model "stunt doubles"?

I own a Jolla, I currenty use it as my primary phone and the real game-changer here may be that it actually runs Android apps without any signficant problems (so far :-)) even at this early stage (Angry Birds and Skype in my case, which seems me like quite challenging apps to emulate, Skype video calls, for example works).

For me this seems to invalidate the ecosystem concept underlying for example the Nokia switch to Microsoft and making Jolla and other smaller phone makers' chances of success a lot bigger.

Okay, sure. But that's not anything analyzed by the article at the top of this thread. And further:

1. Presumably, if lateral acceleration proves to be preferable to vertical acceleration, you just turn off the banking.

2. You control the precise amount of vertical acceleration by the size of the bank, so if there's some amount of vertical acceleration that's desired and some that isn't, you only bank hard enough for the desired acceleration. You also to at least some degree control the jerk (change in acceleration) so you can smoothly slide into the acceleration change as you bank slowly harder.

3. Importantly, this is only increased-acceleration in local "down," not decreased acceleration in local down. I don't have any scientific data to back this up, but it's the drops (ie, reduced vertical acceleration compared to gravity) that seem to nauseate people on roller coasters, not the climbs.

But most importantly, I think that people were badly misinterpreting this article (not the original hyperloop paper) in thinking that its charts were about vertical rather than lateral and longitudinal acceleration.
This may work for some customers but on the flip side this is what I encounter:

- I am given a fixed budget to implement something. (I work for the government so I spend millions of dollars a year, but budgeting is done once a year so I go into a project knowing I have $100k to spend.)

- Find that all the prospective vendors in a field are hidden pricing.

- I end up filling out the "contact us for pricing" forms on a dozen websites.

- I field calls from a dozen salespeople, who don't want to give even approximate pricing until they've done at least a demo and a second conference call.

- When I get to pricing 8 of those 12 are prima facia more than we can afford (see fixed budget above)

- I've just wasted 20-30 hours of my time and 2-3 hours of each vendors time learning about and examining products that I now know I can't afford. Plus there are always several salespeople that don't give up. (I've had salespeople continue to prospect me even after an RFP with published results and purchase from another vendor.)

I remember doing ID Management. We ended up doing Novell at about $60k. But I remember when we got to the pricing stage with another vendor and got a price on the order of $750k. That's 1/3 of the entire departmental budget including salaries and benefits. If I know some amount of pricing going in, I wouldn't have wasted their time.
Because you have a limited amount of time on the planet, and not everyone wants to spend all of it at work?
