They did offer help, they told him the IP used by whomever initiated the transfer, he's crying over the fact they didn't give him back his BTC.

Given the information provided I'd say it's highly likely his mobile device was the attack surface used. I don't use Coinbase, but a glance at their API docs makes it appear that the API key alone isn't sufficient to initiate a transfer since authentication is required.

If that's the case, this is analagous demanding a refund from your bank when your account was emptied because you lost your wallet, ATM card and a postit note with the PIN # written on it.

Agreed - the cruise idea is fantastic. I went on a cruise and only had programming as a secondary objective (secondary to hanging out with my girlfriend), and even when it wasn't top priority it was still much easier to get it done there.

Cruise ships have a lot of relatively quiet nooks where you can camp out somewhere with a beautiful view of the ocean and just code all day if you want. If you get a balcony room, you could just park yourself there the whole damned trip and take up their free room service for food (just remember to tip them very well at the end if you do this!).
Is it likely that they'll have to drastically change their methods to handle standing use? The interviewer noted that leaning forward a lot or turning around would hamper tracking.

Can't tell if you're being serious... Surely someone who has been working for 7 years has had more opportunities for success than someone with less experience? That, and that you'd have a larger sphere of influence, more real-world experience, and possibly more determination. While you might work harder than your peers (and really, you have every right to be proud of your accomplishments if you do), I wouldn't discount the advantages you had over someone starting off who might put in the same level of effort.

It takes luck to be in the right place at the right time, but it takes something else to recognize the fact and exploit it. A lot of other people with a similar level of education were in the same right place / right time situation as Gates and Jobs were back in the day, but many of them (particularly in large corporations) failed to recognize the opportunity even when it was poking them in the eye.

And on that note, unless one is superstitious, "luck" is just another way of saying "random or unpredictable variables favorably aligning with your goals". If it's coin-flip-like random, then there's nothing you can do to foresee it or influence it. But in technology and business, many things are not like that. The fact that you cannot predict something usually means you have insufficient information (even for a coin flip, if you knew the exact force vector your thumb imparted on the coin, you can in fact predict the outcome). Or, more likely in the case of startups, the information is already available, but you fail to recognize its significance because it's buried in an avalanche of information.
Well said. I wrote code back on a 640x480 just as easily as I now write code on my 1080p. The only differences in productivity have come from me, as a programmer.

In terms of sheer workspace? Probably, but then you can dedicate the excess pixels to increasing pixel density and making things easier to read.

After getting used to the high-DPI displays in tablets and phones I have to admit, desktop text rendering has become very notably lacking.
Sounds more like a marketing sham than a real FBI encounter to me.

Really? The FBI agent approached her and started talking to her before she had even removed her mic? And everybody (including the agent) heard?

Let me guess, she vehemently denied the offer? (I'll admit I didn't even bother to read past the second paragraph of this "article".)

I don't think so...

Doesn't that mean that the second user is in a niche that will pay more for the service? Could there be a different way to charge, so that people are paying according to the value to them (instead of the # of reports, which may be your metric, but apparently may not be really relevant to value)

If the image you get out of the sensor is processing friendly (such as just the image of the IR leds) then you can do this pretty quickly in software. Some preprocessing on the camera can help but the source of most of the latency is going to be the image sensor readout.

How to share data using sherlock action bar in Android
I find I am much more productive at home (1x 30" monitor + laptop display) then I am at work (1x 24" 1080 monitor + laptop display).

The screen size absolutely makes a difference when you are working on a large project with lots of disparate pieces. When you jump between project-wide search, debugging, showing git diffs, and so on.

This is especially true if you do graphics work and code. When you need to move graphics assets around your filesystem and into your IDE it's nice to have the room (i.e., not so many overlapping windows) so you don't spend time digging for assets, resizing assets, running scripts over assets.

I consider myself very productive on just my laptop screen, but sometimes I postpone large architectural changes or heavy instruments based debugging sessions until I get home. There's less back-and-forth and a considerable speedup under certain workloads.
My current setup is 4x22" at 1050x1620. I originally started with two displays, but kept adding over years. I think each display increases productivity by half of previous (2nd display adds 50%, 3th adds 25% and 4th 12.5%).

My secondary screens are slightly damaged (dead pixels, scratches...) so they cost peanuts. The real limit is electricity bill.

Also with such large setup you need good light balance. I always use inverse color scheme (light on dark background). For example I even filter web page colors.

I am upgrading because my laptop and phone has retina display and I love it. Also LED displays should have lower energy consumption compared to my ancient displays.
RESTful WebService Using CXF
1) Use industry averages for your target market based on studies or your own surveys

2) Show how you've worked out the value (e.g. 1000 reports = 20 hours saved. 20 hours x $100 (wage of target users) = $2000 value generated)

3) Use conservative figures and say 'get value from X' OR use higher figures and say 'get up to X value'
Well, it appears we have different opinions. I think that's probably on net an ok thing.
Interesting. Seeing as I mainly work with Macbook Pros, I would love to know what macbooks currently support this display. Unfortunately, I don't think my late 2011 macbook would support this else I would buy the monitor in a heartbeat :/

Luck is nice if you get it, but I don't believe it's either necessary or sufficient for success. My believe is that, at most, luck can shorten the time between starting out and succeeding.

In other words, luck is earned.

At some point, this probably reduces to quibbling about the exact definition of "luck", but I generally agree with this statement, given the way I view luck.

Personally, I believe - as other have already quoted - that

"luck favors the prepared mind"

and

"luck is when preparation meets opportunity"

I'll go back to a post from a year or two ago, about "how to date a supermodel". The gist was, "if you want to date a supermodel, start by moving to where lots of supermodels live". There ya go... call it "earn that luck" or "luck is when preparation meets opportunity" or "fortune favors the bold" or whatever, the essence is the same to me.

Honestly, this recent "success is luck meme" strikes me as a fabrication concocted by people who don't believe in hard-work, as a way to denigrate the people who have put in the hard-work and gained success, and to provide themselves with a "ready built" excuse for failing.

I feel like there's a crowd out there waiting to go:

"Oh noes, I failed. Oh, no biggie, I just wasn't lucky".

versus the folks who say

"Oh noes, I failed. Shit, well, let me dust myself off, climb back up to my feet, suck my gut in, and try again, and work even harder this time".

Anyway, for the "hard work" crowd, here's a little something inspirational:

I'd love three of those Dell monitors. But did you happen to see the update to that Forbes article [1] that suggests that the P2815Q will also be limited 30 Hz refresh? I'm enduring 30 Hz now obviously, so I know it can be done, but I'd like to see Dell up the ante a bit and make 60 Hz 4K happen.

It's not just that - you can read very small text on a high DPI display. I'm consistently amazed that I can basically read HN without zooming on my S4 despite it being tiny compared to my desktop (but the same resolution pixel wise).

That's a big benefit for when you want to keep an eye on some debug output but not work on it directly, or quickly parse big sections of text.

I use two 27" monitors at work and would definitely feel a productivity hit if I were to go back to smaller or fewer monitors.

I dedicate one entire monitor just to a full-screen terminal with tmux running inside. It's trivial this way for me to edit and view and compare multiple files at once. I typically dedicate half of the second monitor to a browser, for testing, and the other half to administrative applications, like email, Jabber, and IRC.

The result is that the cost of context-switching is drastically reduced. I'm able to maintain focus for much longer stretches of time because I don't really have to ever completely switch contexts.
Presumably if they have a wide enough angle and a high enough resolution they can cover a much larger space. It's symmetric situation, you need just as much resolution at the distance as the minimum amount you want something in the VR world the same distance from you to respond to. A well designed system can even resolve sub-pixel motion of those LEDs in the field of view of the camera.
What about couch potato programmers? That strikes me as a pretty sizable market segment.
"Seiki is missing a golden opportunity to dominate the desktop display market by removing the television tuner, speakers, and remote, and then reallocating that budget to a 60Hz or better input (HDMI 2 and/or DisplayPort), a matte screen surface, and instant-on DPMI support, all the while retaining the market-wrecking price."

And while we're at it, I want a unicorn as well! Seriously, speakers, a remote and a TV tuner are like, $5 in parts max whereas everything he just listed involves upgrading silicon fabrication processes and designing new ASICs.
There is no right to have oil, and it is still very cheap for all the work it can do for us.

As an aside: Moai is great, but it has a problem with lack of developer activity, to the point that a cynical person could (especially with the abrupt shutdown of Moai Cloud) consider it to be abandoned.

For example, the current official Moai site's link to the downloadable SDK is broken, and there is currently nowhere to download the SDK; you have to build it yourself. There isn't even a proper official release beyond 1.3. And the current master branch has a bunch of outstanding issues, such as a Lua/C-binding-related segfault and the fact that you can't build the code with XCode 5.0.

Right now there are several unofficial forks that could become the new master. Unfortunately, of all the game companies that use Moai, very few of them seem to be contributing code back. At the very least some of them could get together to coordinate stewardship of the project, something which seems completely lacking right now.
That's pretty cool actually.
$500 is such a small amount to pay, it is easily recouped over the course of a year. $100k to pay a developer? Just 0.5% to break even through reduction in time spent, or increase in comfort, or decreased eye strain, additional time spent working, or improved retention. It can be a signal to potential hires that you spend money where it counts, instead of fancy foosball tables or a 75" plasma in the reception area. I always tried to get my team the hardware they wanted because it's such an easy problem to solve as a manager and can pay in spades.

I agree it's not an automatic improvement, but I'll take that bet every time.
Show HN: DACOM - A webapp template for Datomic, Compojure, and Om
I think my big take away from this article is that nearly everyone in the Bay Area, techies included, are liberal or votes Democrat. So the irony is that some of these liberals are doing better (financially) than others, which is causing unforeseen problems. Startups are born out of the same counterculture principles, but focused on economically tangible solutions. You say revolution, we say disruption. You can probably say the same thing about Whole Foods or REI.

I think the underlying problem here is that some in the left can't cope when a part of their culture becomes big, popular and corporate. The ideas are nice when they're outside the box, but oppressive when it's the establishment and highly profitable.

Exploiting Lawful Intercept to Wiretap the Internet [pdf]
According to your own source US numbered highways were funded in large part by the federal government:

"Behind the scenes, the federal aid program had begun with the passage of the Federal Aid Road Act of 1916, providing 50% monetary support from the federal government for improvement of major roads. The Federal Aid Highway Act of 1921 limited the routes to 7% of each state's roads, while 3 in every 7 roads had to be "interstate in character". Identification of these main roads was completed in 1923.[1]"

Also according to your source it looks like the U.S. numbered highways developed in spite of the numerous private organizations existing at the time:

"The new system was both praised and criticized by local newspapers, often depending on whether that city ended up on a major route. While the Lincoln Highway Association understood and supported the plan, partly because they were assured of getting the US 30 designation as much as possible, most other trail associations lamented their obsolescence. At their January 14–15, 1926 meeting, AASHO was flooded with complaints."

It's since `do` now does not apply to stack closures [1]. `Do` still supports owned closures (that's what used to be called `~once fn()` in 0.8 and renamed to `proc()`) but they can be called only once which defeats the whole point of `times` (unless you are fine with `N.times(|| { ... })` syntax).

I'll take my unicorn in black, too.

I'm not a monitor manufacturer, just an opinionated blogger. But are you telling me that a matte surface would cost more to manufacture than a glossy surface? DPMI support costs a lot? Of my wishlist items, DisplayPort seems the toughest to this layperson, but even that doesn't seem unreasonable.

In my earlier blog entry about the same monitor, I said I'd also be willing to pay a tiny bit more. If I could get the "professional" version with the attributes I listed above for $600, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
But you're not actually splitting your data across several providers, in many cases, you're making copies of the same data, and so you're actually increasing your exposure.

I'd need to dig a bit to know for sure, but I'd probably they're using off the shelf parts for HDMI that may or may not support DPMS, and either way it'll probably be some hardware changes. If they've already tooled up, yes, it will take some coin to make the transition.
Man, I hate Google+ as much as the next person, and I was this close to defending them here. They almost did it right. Almost.

The problem is that it defaults to "Everyone on Google+" For those of you mystified that this is pissing people off, it's because not everyone on Google+ wanted a Google+ account precisely because Google is shoehorning it into everything! "Just opt out" misses the point; some of us don't want to have to dig around in settings for a service we didn't want to opt out of stuff like being put on a spammable directory for strangers.

If it defaulted to "Circles" I'd have a hard time complaining about it; people who don't want Google+ don't have Circles. But as it stands, this is "we're quietly opting you into spam." (and for those who say it won't happen, I've already gotten more YouTube spam since the G+ rollout than I have over the rest of the account's lifetime combined, and my YouTube account is old)
The fact that it can only do 30Hz in UHD mode is probably one of the reasons it's so cheap - going to 60 or 120Hz is a two to four-fold increase in processing.

It'll happen - it's just a matter of time (less than 18 months if Moore's law is anything to go by)
Facebook didn't staple their social network onto a non-social-network service after the fact, and then demand you sign up for it. Not everyone on Google+ actually wants to be on Google+.

I believe IBM produced a high resolution monitor which was a single panel, but acted as if it were 4 smaller displays, complete with 4 separate display input cables. Something similar could technically be done to re-use lower-res, but higher-speed existing display controller parts on 4K panels.
These are all really helpful points. I've been trying to do #1 over the past few months but I'm not sure if what I'm good at is valued in this environment. I think I have a little bit of processing to do to understand if that's a problem with me or them.

I have a Rift and I'm bullish about its prospects for gaming, but I'm pretty skeptical about using this for non-interactive entertainment.

What would be the point of allow the user to move around (in a limited fashion anyhow) inside the movie? It doesn't improve storytelling (as games can by adding interactivity and perspective) - it strikes me as a gimmick, much like 3D films in general.

You get the whiz-bang coolness of "OMG I'm in this thing!", but ultimately it's a lot more gear than a straight-up television/movie screen for next to no gain. 3D movies had a few years of glory but is now deeply unpopular - I foresee the same for VR-movies.
