Perhaps the cracker is actually employed at PayPal for real? :) This thought amuses me, since it's a scenario with no leaks outside the circle of PayPal employees, yet it gives the opportunity to the bad guy to gain the info necessary for the deed.

Advertising hasn't worked that way in almost a hundred years. It's simply vastly less effective than selling an identity.

The real secret is, it works even if you hate hipsters. In fact, they know you hate hipsters, and that's why they're in the ad.

Hello everyone, author here. Sorry for forgetting to enable billing on appengine - the page should be displaying now.

I shared Interactive SICP with HN last year (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4860370), and thought it was time to share it again. Since that time, I've

- added more sections of the book
- replaced the javascript scheme engine
- added mathjax
- made the evaluation asynchronous (to avoid freezing the UI during long computations)
- improved dependency management between blocks of code
- separated out the interactive library - I should be releasing it soon!

What I haven't been able to do is to make the entire book interactive due to a lack of time. I was thinking of using indiegogo to pay myself and my co-author so that we can finish the book. What do you guys think?
The video and the moving thumb (also a video) use the HTMl5 video tag and some CSS to make it fullscreen.
Looks a lot like a bug somewhere in Chrome...

Wandering on the site, CPU goes back to normal after some time, but I couldn't find what the problem is with simple inspection (JS profiling says 99% idle).

Bug reproduced on Chrome.

Safari, which uses mp4 instead of webm, works fine :-)
Or if you're doing something like implementing a software rendering in a constrained environment ie 4k demo or Java 4k Games contest.

To those wondering why someone would want ML in JS, there are loads of reasons.

For starters, node.js, which makes most of the arguments regarding server/client moot.

Secondly, there are many client side applications for these types of algorithms as well. K-means clustering, for example, is already used by many mapping libraries to group together large numbers of points[1].

I personally use neural networks and affinity propagation in many of my applications for predictive analysis. This does not have to only be educational, or of a 'toy' nature.

There is more to it. Drinking establishments are great places for unstructured social engagements. There are not a lot of other venues that are similar.

When I was in Pune, I was speaking with people (hi Mayank!) who were trying to set up regular hacker meetups. Scheduling formal lectures was easy. But unstructured social engagements was much harder to set up. I suggested that we did it in bars in NY/London, but due to the cultural issues surrounding drinking in Maharashtra bars were out. This made organizing unstructured meetup time really difficult.
Why your developers should think like a designer
It's not, but humans are dynamic beings who can learn new skills, not stagnant machines with one single function. 100 years ago half our population was illiterate, yet we overcame the displacement of thousands of farm workers due to technology. We will continue to do this throughout history again and again.
4M? Interesting. One of the recurring themes of "long tail" discussions is that everything is requested at least once every month or so. Would like more consideration of why that's not the case here.
Outside of the notion that you can be judgmental about a person ("douche", "pathetic") based upon the tools they use -- conflating wearing a fedora with using a piece of technology -- fashion largely concerns itself with the inconsequential, and in almost all industries and applications follows a far second behind function.

Now someone might point to some freakish catwalk outfit and some bizarro shoes, but those have negligible relevance to the normal world. We're talking about average people in the average world.

I drive a large vehicle because I have a large family and live in a rural area. I picked this model because it looks nice, having fulfilled all of the necessary functions. Some other people live in the city and drive tiny but stylish vehicles, their necessity for function far different.

I have a really fast smartphone that has great apps and great integration. I chose the one that is gold and has a nice logo.

I have an amazing burr coffee grinder that makes perfect grinds and keeps some in an airtight container. It also happens to look really nice on my counter top.

Fashion follows. It does not lead. It will always be contorted around the former.

And people wore headphones because they liked having mobile music without disturbing others. People wore bluetooth headsets because they had jobs and roles that demanded significant voice traffic (as an aside, they declined because voice traffic declined, not because a bunch of people so insecure that they need to bring other people down called them names). And people will wear wearables and smartwatches and so on because it provides value in their life. And fashion will follow, and there will come a time when people will try to make it the bees knees of trendiness.
I'd argue this is not as you say, but rather another step towards decentralised marketing.

Because Spotify has its own ranking system and social media/last.fm scrobbling, while a bad song will merely be skipped over, a good undiscovered song with get saved to playlist and exposed via networks to a much greater extent than it had a chance of being before.
Not a lawyer, but I think you're more or less right about North American trademark law as well. Trademarking a common word is fine (so long as it's not inherently descriptive of the actual product – i.e. trademarking "Paper" with respect to reams of paper would never fly), but FiftyThree would still have to show that "Paper" is sufficiently distinctive in the software market that anyone discussing "Paper" in terms of mobile apps instantly thinks of their product, the same as "Apple" being distinctive in the computers / electronics industry. As big as their app is already, as others have noted other apps have that name too, so 53 would have difficulty claiming exclusivity on "Paper".

Just did a quick USPTO search and it looks like 53 hasn't attempted to register a trademark for "Paper" itself – but they have registered "Paper by FiftyThree", which would more easily pass the bar of distinctiveness: http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=85622666&caseType=SERIAL_N...

Having said that – I do wish Facebook had picked a name that wasn't already associated with such a well-known app.

Disclaimer: I have a dev friend who works at FiftyThree but their IP strategy is not something we've discussed.

As others have pointed out, these are indeed just analogues of (fundamental) monopoles.

IMHO, this is an example of a deliberately-slightly-misleading abstract for a paper. The authors write:
"Although analogues of magnetic monopoles have been found [in others' work] there has been no direct experimental observation of Dirac monopoles within a medium described by a quantum field [...]. Here we demonstrate the controlled creation of Dirac monopoles in [...]. Monopoles are identified, in [...]"

If I were a referee for the paper, I would have registered the following objection:
When referring to others' work, the authors use the phrase "analogues of monopoles" whereas they reserve the phrases "monopole" and "Dirac monopole" for references to their own. Their terminology seems especially egregious on account of their earlier statement:
"The existence of even a single Dirac magnetic monopole would have far-reaching physical consequences, most famously explaining the quantization of electric charge".
In fact they too have only discovered analogues of monopoles and the abstract is confusing for non-specialists, as evidenced by this thread.

Nature is a journal that has been known to give in to the temptation to sensationalise so I am not all that surprised.

I don't think you can get away with this type of marketing when you're a little know startup. Perhaps because the Facebook name is there they can, because that's made me interested enough to sit through the video. Otherwise, just tell people what you do in a few seconds.

Sorry for the delay in replying. No I did not, actually. See I was coming back after a while, I had quickly shifted to C++ (after coding briefly in C) in my career, so did not remember using any libraries.

I am sure, my task would have been easier if I had used some lib. But my main concern (and goal) was performance and memory usage comparison.
No no, thank you!

I've been building a data management platform for the last 8 years and we are now at the stage where we want to provide tools to help our customers get more from their data than just statistics. As my programming experience is mainly in PHP and JS this set of articles is helping me grasp ML rather than trying to wrap my head around a new language. I'm currently working on k-means clustering and re-implementing everything in PHP to get the best possible understanding I can .. my aim after that is to see how well I can implement things at an SQL level.
I say "select repositories" because it seems to be inconsistently rolled out at the moment. For example, here's the Ruby on Rails repo, which, at this time, does not feature a link to a traffic graph:

...and trying to navigate there manually just redirects you back to github.com.

Unless there's a big advance in magnetic field manipulation, I doubt it.

Basically - unless we find a way to inject data non-invasively using an advanced version of transcranial magnetic stimuation.

The basic problem with bioscience - in fact anything that's not computer science, is you can't just hit "recompile" when you screw up. We can't just replace an optic nerve that goes bad, in fact anytime you do even minor surgery you run the risk of an infection that wipes out whole systems of the body from a tiny mistake.

Abstraction is a big problem, basically.

Good point. For SSL certificates, and many other security related services you always ultimately trust some strangers, who sometime happen to use names such as "Trusted Certificate Authority" which normally should read "Stranger Stranger Stranger".

What would be the alternative, to find a "Trusted Certified Code Generator Authority"?

Edit: for example Bitcoins, Satoshi and Bitcoin Exchanges.
The generator is using a version AES FPE (BPS) standards as I see, so it's kind of peer-reviewed.
Would be nice if they decided that cashflow forecasting (Microsoft Money and Quicken Online both did that well-ish) was important to add. That's the single reason I haven't gone with Mint.
Of course; drinking establishments make good money on these events so they have a lot of incentive to make this as easy as possible.

Come to think of it, that's actually a really good example of an area where we can put in a bit more effort to create more inclusive events.

In general it's about finding a format which lets attendees personally contribute to the venue's revenue, which sounds like a problem we should collectively be able to tackle.
Knowing call and apply demonstrates a knowledge of how context, arguments, and function calls work. It's like demonstrating pointer knowledge in C. Absolute must for a non-junior candidate (and even then, depending on what you're hiring a front-end developer for).

The OP describes a situation where it seems that moderation is being actively discouraged.
How data journalism creates scoops and audiences
It's hard to take seriously a list of incidents that starts with "a model was photographed, and the photo was later cropped and used as a test image in image processing." Jumping to the very bottom, I see the Paul Graham non-incident and gendered pronouns.

(Admittedly, I didn't read too carefully after seeing obvious nonsense everywhere I looked. Perhaps a list which is curated and has silliness removed would be a more useful citation, or at least pointing out which incidents on this list you feel are serious.)

I believe the wearable format of Google Glass has a good chance to succeed because it is radical enough to deliver enough value from its capabilities. Watches are too tame, and too limited.

It can't be stopped. I want to know, based on face recognition, is the cop walking up to my car known for aggression or for professionalism? I want to know the population density of Bt and PLMN radios around me. I want a subconscious sense of direction. I want to see impurities in air and water. I want senses nobody has thought of yet. Glass is only the beginning, and it is only perhaps minimally capable in the wearables spectrum of capabilities.

It is very likley this means multiple body-worn sensors. Maybe they will be small, but, if not, they will probably become accepted as much as glasses, rings, belt buckles, and other functional adornments.
Excellent, I'm glad to hear it! If you ever want to reach out, feel free -- email in my profile.
That theory would predict that people on the same age, but with bigger vocabulary (or expertise in a particular domain) take more time to pick words (or make decisions in that domain) which is the opposite of what seems to happen in everyday life.

*ALGOL
So, for one, I had to watch the video twice to try to figure out what the app actually does. Though, I suppose maybe that's just my own ineptitude. Because I'm still not sure what it does.

Secondly, what is the market for this? I can already make my own "paper" type thing with Flipboard or the myriad other options on the market. Considering this seems like something I need to not only download, but take time to customize, does Facebook expect people to switch right on over to them?

Why can't I just go on Facebook or Twitter and see what stories my friends are sharing? That's the point, isn't it? I don't get it.
Looks like Facebook without adverts. An improvement but...
I think if you are using an exchange your coins are not really in a known address. The exchange probably stores your coins, along with others, in many of its wallets.

However I do see how the ledger comes into play for your personal coin addresses. That is actually a powerful concept and pretty cool.

From a Mint perspective adding meta-data for coin transactions would be a good start to help categorize coin spends/receives. Another approach would be well known receive address sets. For example 'Grocery Store X' would have one (or multiple) well known 'receive addresses' that Mint could categorize appropriately.

The Maximum Viable Churn Rate For A Startup
Still, I didn't make it through the video, and then I came here to find the most highly voted echoed my own thoughts about it.

It makes me think that they missed the mark.
"I understand that the STATED purpose of the event is not "getting wasted". But an unstated and real consideration for people attending is the opportunity of having one or several drinks with friends. Not everything operates on the "stated" level."

The author's point is all about this issue. Essentially, he's implying mission drift: the stated purpose of the event is being subverted, or even subsumed, by the unstated purpose (drinking). In his opinion, too much emphasis has been placed on the unstated, to the point where the stated is getting left by the wayside.

It's an interesting point, though it's very hard to prove, and the author weakens his argument with a lot of heavy-handed moralism of the "This has no place here!" variety.

Nevertheless, it's something to consider. When people drink at conferences, do they have to binge drink? And if a majority (or even a perceived majority) of attendees are indeed binge drinking, might that not exclude a fair number of hypothetical attendees who don't want to? It's not a stretch to think that a woman would be put off, or even physically intimidated, by the idea of being in a clear minority among a large crowd of young, drunk males. Similarly, older would-be attendees might opt out if they feel they're just going to show up to a glorified frat party. In the author's view, the problem isn't so much the presence of alcohol as it is an alcohol-centric conference culture.

The problem with this argument, of course, is its heavy reliance on subjective experience. One person's loud, annoying frat party is another person's good time. One observer's "everyone is binging" is another observer's "only a few people were, and they were embarrassing themselves." One person's "I felt excluded for being sober" is another person's "That's all in your head."

The best way to explore this issue is to get out of the subjective and into the empirical. I'd be very curious to see the results of polling among past and would-be attendees to gauge their feelings on this issue. For those who opted out, why did they? And what patterns emerge in their feedback? We'd probably run into some issues with sample size and selection, but something would be better than pure speculation.

We really have no place speaking on behalf of those who aren't present, no matter how small a minority they might be. (Cf. "tyranny of the majority" on Wikipedia or other sites.) The net solution probably isn't that every conference needs to go straight-edge. But at the same time, it's probably not the opposite: that everything is perfectly fine, and those who don't like it can go somewhere else. The author has raised an interesting point, and we should make an effort to hear from those who feel similarly.
I think they should be focusing on opening Mint up into new markets (namely the UK) rather than this!
Not exactly. It feels like the stereotypical programmer is shifting from being a bearded middle-aged white man to a privileged drunken 20-something man. Sure it's a stereotype, and there are plenty of folks doing very-well-thankyou-very-much within the programming community.

BUT I think the OP is saying (and I agree) that the 'free beer and pizza' culture is starting to dominate the public view of the programming community. So we get tools with offputtingly brotastic names, documentation that's littered with gratuitous profanity, meetups that reward the biggest drinkers rather than the most interesting.

So I would like to see a culture where the quiet folks can do a 9-to-5, then go home and enjoy church and family without missing out on key decisions and opportunities. If you want to go to a meetup, you can drink a lemonade without people making assumptions.
in light of the spirit of your post, i would like to point out:
