No one is suggesting that opposite sex negative things (cliques, shaming girls based on clothes, whatever other things they do) is acceptable.

But I've yet to hear anyone complaining about boys being intimidated and not participating in a class because it was full of girls being bitchy. And to the extend that it happens (someone mocking an ugly kid in class), I'd assume it'd get slapped down in the same way.

The "masculinity-affirming posturing and violence" that the parent refers to is pretty much entirely negative. There's no benefit to praise, accept, or encourage that kind of behaviour.
This is somewhat off topic, but I found the typography of this paper to be really really horrible. Maybe I am just used to the nice latex templates that journals use, but something about this (maybe the extra spacing between lines?) makes it really hard to read.
Which areas would you say HDFS needs improvement the most? Just so you know, HDFS is still very actively developed, and keeps introducing features / improving functionality (e.g Native NFS, In-Memory Caching, Short Circuit Reads, High Availability, Namespace Federation, etc) on a pretty regular basis.

Feel free to suggest new features, or contribute to the project yourself.

They're close enough for purposes of understanding the dynamics.

For example, cash bills weren't well-mixed, then finding cocaine on your money would indeed be evidence that you were one or two levels removed from drug handlers, and may (legally and rationally) justify a look at the people you've been in contact with.

Likewise, when it's not regular practice to mix up your bitcoins through pools, then holding a marked coin would be evidence of wrongdoing.

(And I've argued elsewhere that that's also a reason for prosecuting mixing pools as money launderers!)
I really do not understand why we must have one size fits all operating system in the first place. Some things work better for mobile (metro, ios, android), and some work better for desktop/laptop Windows, OS X, Linux.

Why must we try to make them the same? I would argue a set of well defined junction points like Apple did with airplay in order to share content between mobile and desktop segments is a way more elegant solution.

What you need:

1) Determine if people are people happy with it

2) Happy customers championing your product for you

3) Charge for your product

How:

1) Start tracking if users continue to use your product/are happy with product (sounds like you already can do this).

2) Once you know your free customers are happy to use the product begin to monetization the product.

3) Build code to help your existing users spread your product

- Create the ability to email friends free account codes from inside the app.

- current users are limited to two free invites

- first round invited users are limited to one free invite

- second round invited users can not give out free invites

4) Once the above code is ready, start charging for the product on the app store.

5) Release "invite a friend" code

6) Experiment with price

7) If you fall on your face & fail, begin offering the product for free again and re-evaluate how you determine if you are making your customers happy.
It's not always that simple - the electric lines have to support the load of additional vehicles. Even a relatively low charge rate of 12A (like a Volt) quickly exceeds the capacity of standard electrical wiring after about 3 vehicles. It's worse if you want higher speed charging, which requires 30A+ per connector. Adding the infrastructure to support more cables can actually be more expensive than running additional chargers, depending on how the lines were run.
Check what your best performing competitors are doing. Usually they will be doing something grayhat. There are a lot of practices (eg. link exchange) that Google has publicly frowned upon, but stopped short of actually enforcing against. You get left with the option of being uncompetitive when it comes to SEO, or adopting the grayhat practice and getting penalized along with your competitors whenever Google does start enforcing against it.

I remember the IIfx...it had a 68030 with an FPU, which made me jealous because I had a Performa 475 with a 68LC040. The 68LC40 was a deliberately crippled 68040 with no FPU, which made it in some very important ways worse than the 68030, a previous generation processor. This left me with the unfortunate inability to run NetBSD, which I desperately wanted to do as I was just getting into computers at the time and wanted to use an OS that, unlike the friendly classic Mac OS, was closer to bare metal and let me do things like write my own programs ( which I couldn't really do in classic Mac OS because the main development tools were either insanely expensive or had critical features disabled, such as the ability to create new projects. ) So all the IIfx owners were flooding the NetBSD users mailing list with their successful boot-up stories, and I couldn't get beyond the bootloader prompt. I eventually had to take the 68LC040 out and replace it with a 68040 so I could use NetBSD and other powerful software like Infini-D...

We've come a long way. Now I'm running Mac OS and it is BSD. And all i have to do to create a new programming project is type git init in some unsuspecting directory.
Community also had a funny product placement: the Subway guy who's contractual goodbye is "Eat Fresh".

You don't actually need to build an features yet. Create a pricing page, list out a simple set of features, put a buy button and see how many people click on it. Test with a different set of features and different price points.

You should consider this potential client and project as merely one of many to come. You do not want every job, nor every client. It's OK to make this meeting a learning opportunity that does not work become an agreed project. There will be more in the future. Perhaps you will work with this person a year from now.

Your larger task is to figure out to have enough inquiries and potential clients so that you are able to pick and choose your clients and your jobs without regret.
Crowded Out of Ivory Tower, Adjuncts See a Life Less Lofty
There are 252 apps in the Android Market with "Candy" in the name (including the Candy Crush set of games, and a few dupes like free/ad and paid).

Likely there are hundreds of comparable apps in Apple's app store but I can't quite fathom how to search from a desktop browser (???).

Sounds like they'll need to sue a lot of people to enforce that trademark. What's next--"blaster"? "nuke"? "Kill"? "Monster"? Pretty soon, if this ridiculous effort succeeds, all the common dictionary words will get locked up in trademarks, just as domain names did 10-15 years earlier.

But somehow I doubt it, and probably it will give them more bad press and headaches than it's worth. I already know that I won't be buying their apps for my family's use.
A useful term here is "r/K selection". You can look at species on a continuum from "r selection" (quick reproduction and growth at the expense of competitive advantage) to "K selection" (slow/expensive reproduction, but better at competing for resources).

Whales and elephants, as well as humans, are good examples of K-selected organisms.

Boggles my mind what a group of engineers can do. Make you wonder if our industry's mind share being wasted on web apps and consumer gadgets because of the profit incentive associated? Just seems like an unbelievable symphony of fields all playing in concert, let alone having it all work as expected in production! Probably the most stunning example of this was Curiosity's Landing on Mars (the tethered landing blew me away!) [1].

Most stations have indicators to say if they are charging, but it depends on the model/manufacturer.
Yep, the version of Quicktime that ships with OS X nowadays has simple screen recording.

Maybe charging stations could come with N full charging cords and 2N trickle charging cords and it would be socially acceptable to replace someone's full charging cord with a trickle charging cord once the car was full.
Show HN: SIMPLE PARSE TUTORIAL WITH SPRITE KIT GAME
I love the app, and I want OP to know that that a watermark is a deal breaker for me.

Without a watermark, I have things I can use this app for. While using it, if I like it and want the premium features then I'll upgrade. With a watermark, I won't use this, and I won't ever upgrade.

There are some great ideas in the thread; watermarking is not one of them.
I have been having this trouble with all Tv shows lately. It's supposed to be the Golden Age of TV, and I have loved shows like Breaking Bad and Lost, but I can't shake the fact that the people producing the shows have no interest in anything other than ad views.

TV is just ads for ads. There's a reason Hulu sucks so much.

Kudos for voting with your eyes.
Do these trademarks go international? Isn't King a UK-based company? If they filed for the trademark in the US, do they have separate filings for each country that they want to protect "candy"?

What if you are an app developer outside the jurisdiction of the trademark? Can you just ignore?
Does anyone know they type of setup these probes have? Is it running a custom OS on custom hardware or plain old Linux on a x86 processor?
Terrible headline, as almost all taxpayer funded research is already available to the public.

This is about making it more conveniently available. Currently, you might have to go through a paywall for online access, or visit a library for free access. This should make much of it available online at no cost.

Actually, a lot more than most people realize is fairly easily available online (with publisher permission) for cheap via DeepDyve [1], including from publishers that we normally think of as being very expensive.

Here's a page at DeepDyve that lets you browse by subject, journal, or publisher [2], which should give a good idea of what they have available.

Not as nice as open access, of course, but still pretty useful.

"If Intel simply generated and ran Intel-targeted code always, we would have the same debate because why didn't they align their instructions and do it in such an order because that would be better on AMD."

That same debate might happen. But I doubt we'd see it, because most people would dismiss such a debate as stupid. Why would Intel put any effort into making their compiler optimize code for AMD CPUs?

Again: there is a world of difference between simply not optimizing for AMD, and deliberately running slow code when an AMD CPU is detected.

If Intel just checked CPU features and decided based on that, would it still produce bad code for AMD sometimes? Probably. Would it be as slow? Doesn't sound like it, from people with real-world experience with the compilers. Would people still complain? Yes. Would those complaints have any merit? No.
Bummer. I suppose what I should really be asking, though, is this: do programmers on Wall Street make enough to live comfortably in the city while still hitting normal savings goals, like retirement? For Manhattan, I'm thinking this would be a total comp. of $200k or above.
Back in the 90s macs had a serious virus problem. Two of the things apple did to address it were pretty effective — most importantly they gave a tiny bit of support/encouragement to John Norstad who wrote Disinfectant -- a very good and free virus checker -- and they put virus checking into all of their Claris-branded software (including Resolve, MacWrite Pro, Filemaker, and so on).

I had a Mac IIfx I got for free from my office (it was six or seven years old at the time) with a radius pivot display. Two once awesome pieces of tech that aged very badly...

An association with Oppenheimer is not that surprising. He worked with Oppenheimer, they were both on the Manhatten project. Also, Oppenheimer's security clearance being revoked seems to have also been a lot to do with Edward Teller creating FUD after being pissed off at Oppenheimer for not wanting to put resources into the H-bomb.

There is an expression I've heard jokingly about that, something like, "The brightest minds of our generation are working on click-fraud prevention."
So is this technically a 0-World problem? (like 0-day, beyond first-world problem)

Can I copyright that term?
There is plenty of space to the bottom though.. Intel at least publishes datasheets, technical documentation, etc. without requiring signing a NDA for most of their chips..

So in my books they still do quite a bit better than Broadcom, Realtek, etc.
"Hand-optimized code: 800% speedup"

It really depends.

Especially in how naively the "non-optimized" code was written.

I can see vectorization accelerate from 2x to 4x (per core), but not much more than that (which the Intel compiler does best)

But even GCC can vectorize better today than in the early days of 4.0
I know a few people that work in Hollywood. I don't think any of them own a single non-apple device.
I think the unit files are another reason. Over the years, my patience with differing ideas of how an initscript should function has waned to the point that it's almost an exercise in frustration if it's not something you regularly write on a platform you seldom use. Unit files alone make systemd a breath of fresh air, because familiarizing yourself with them requires reading only the manpages (and even then only the applicable portions). Even somewhat esoteric behaviors are readily supported without much effort.

I realize initscripts are "simple" in the sense that they borrow immediately from the shell and therefore possess all the advantages (and disadvantages) implied by such. Unfortunately, the notion of a sane initscript seems to be greatly varied in the sense that it depends largely on the distribution and the package maintainers. It isn't that they're necessarily difficult to write as much as having the power of the shell available inclines some authors to do very stupid things.

Comparatively speaking, a unit file should be exceptionally easy to understand at first blush.
In all seriousness, what does an electric car owner do if power goes out for a week or more, like after a hurricane?
Because the Windows 8 UI is so bad that even consumers won't accept it.

Hidden UI = no UI at all. This peek-a-boo shit has to stop.

And "converging" mobile and desktop OSes is exactly backward. What the ascendancy of tablets has shown us is that many people don't need computers. So when someone DOES take the trouble to fire up a computer, it stands to reason that he needs A COMPUTER. That means a real OS, file system, pointing device, and other affordances that provide the precision and power needed for computer-based tasks.
Yeah, I'm not convinced that this is much different from "not enough parking spaces for everybody", or "not enough bike racks to meet demand", with the exception that sharing is actually somewhat feasible for these.
Did you even think this through before you posted or are you being spergy and pedantic on purpose?

If I run low on gas I can pull into any service station and get my entire 336 mile range back in 2 minutes. I would need hours to charge an electric car and the only place I could do that is at my house.

If I wanted to go down the shore for a day (60 miles each way) the Leaf would get me there, but then I'd only have 15 miles of range left and no place to charge, effectively stranding me.

You Won't Believe How Valuable Side Projects Can Be
Well if someone's hosting guest posts on their blog for non-SEO purposes it's generally because the think the guest blogger's writing is good and that their regular readers would be interested in seeing it.

From what I've seen, it's more or less the norm that guest posters have a blog elsewhere that's linked to in the post; if they didn't have one the host would have no way to assess the quality of their posts, and reputable blogs don't accept guest posts from people whose blogs they're not comfortable promoting to their readers.
Saying that our industry's mind share is being wasted on web apps is myopic. That statement is ignoring the numerous and iterative improvements to society through products and systems created to solve business and personal and social problems or inefficiencies. Not to mention the legitimately innovative technology invented and brought to market every year.

I survived through the Techstars Austin program and have been apart of the Austin startup scene for quite some time and what many of the entrepreneurs, whether small or big, are doing is much more important as whole than what your statement implies.

You should see the list of companies selected for the 1776 Cup; some were "appy" (but solving REAL problems!), others were hard science (new form of carbon to make capacitors more efficient to replace batteries), and some were humane (cheap, portable, and easy to build housing for displaced people).
And yet, a theory states that humans have evolved to this state of intelligence exactly due to this kind of social game, to deceive and to detect deception. Thus, Space travel might merely be a byproduct of click-fraud prevention.
High quality content marketing isn't about Google rank.

Google has no control over a visitor to a highly credible blog trusting you as a source and clicking on a link. Clicking the link shouldn't even be necessary, if you're establishing expertise for yourself and your company.

If your sole reason for guest blogging is Google juice, it's reasonable to rethink that strategy.

That's right you haven't heard any complaining: because they just go to a different field to avoid it. And then all the noise eventually follows along and complains that the field is all male. And the cycle repeats.

Men are interested in doing something and creating something, and we will continue doing this forever. Those who cannot do this will continue to complain and blame someone else for their situation. A lack of personal responsibility (independent of gender) will always result in failure.
