That's pretty much the side of the story that is never told. The newspapers only like to talk about the San Franciscans that are renters and find themselves forced out and completely omit the San Franciscans that are owners that realize they can make a great stable income taking advantage of the high rents if they are willing to live farther away.

I'd love to see the following headline one day "Increased housing demand from techies; Some San Franciscans win, some lose."

Furthermore, I'd love to see the following headline too:

"Why can't renting native San Franciscans count on those San Franciscans that own homes to choose them over techies when choosing who to rent to?"

The situation is absurd and it sucks for everyone, but if anyone should get the blame it is the housing owners. Ultimately, they can choose who to rent to and do have the right of renting to a fellow San Franciscan over a Google employee willing and able to pay a lot more. I really want to see the same people protesting the busses spend half their time blocking buses and half the time on the front lawns of those San Franciscans who've moved to the suburbs, but still own housing in San Francisco that they keep raising the rents on.

Personally, I think those housing owners are right to accept a higher rent. Years ago they made the right choice to buy rather than rent while others took accepted their rent controlled apartment and ignored the housing problem until it was beyond their capacity to solve.

If you're acting on the results of your heuristic, without being completely sure, that neatly fits my definition of faith. This whole topic is arguably one of mismatched definitions.

You're backlashing against other people's bad logic, and in so doing letting it cloud your own thinking.
That is a good point and I don't disagree with it.

I suppose mine was more targeting the difference between mobile native applications and mobile web wrappers.

Facebook's web interface for 'real' computers is great and companies that don't have one would probably benefit from one for the reasons you mentioned.

On the mobile side though I still think native applications are worth the investment and that'll be hard to change unless the web apps can actually offer similar design and performance.

I'd love to be wrong though.

If you are already familiar with Jquery, just make a wireframe of page writes in Javascript that show your concept.

You might even learn something while you're at it.

Once you have the concept mapped, demonstrated, and maybe shown to a potential customer, you can consider learning a more complex javascript framework that might use real data,.

So, the first motivation for using vim is that you think it's readily available everywhere. However, the first thing you explain to me is how to remap the Esc key. That is definitely not something configured everywhere.

For beginners with vim, just leave the Esc key as it is. It is way simpler to grasp the modes if a single key is required to switch. Also, you can just hammer a single key multiple times to get back to normal mode at all times.

Mapping keys are an advanced topic. That is not the first thing you should start with when explaining vim. Unexperienced users will not understand the significance.
It shouldn't matter if ads are priced on the basis of ROI instead of per-user (which it is). The ads are only as cheap as they are because they're being farmed, if they weren't they would be much more expensive.
You're taking a very restricted definition of "security." I'd say that if my data has a high chance of being corrupted, it's insecure, whether or not there's a malicious party involved or not. For that matter, if there's a possibility of data corruption when there's lots of concurrency, then it's worse than a malicious party, because it's almost guaranteed to bite you when you need to scale quickly, whereas a hacker might not target you right away.

I'd learn computer science, again. Languages come and go, the core tools for thinking are solid foundations.

Then I'd learn Lisp, Python/Ruby and Mathematica.
I did do a "simple search," and quite a few that weren't so simple. I've also read books on software development methodologies since the 1970s. I did link to the Cockburn paper, which surveys some studies and comes to the same conclusions I have. In the interest of brevity I didn't get into the well-known (anecdotal) studies from Weinberg, DeMarco, Yourdon, et al.

I know it's part of the fun to toss a firecracker over the wall, but if you are going to say that there ARE rigorous controlled studies please link to them, or at least post your "simple" search terms. If you want to point out which of my "unsupported" and "stupendous" claims are invalid and worthless I'm happy to learn from your experience. I tried to make it very clear that I am relating my own experience and drawing my own conclusions.

On some of them. I have come to call anything that stores data in a non-SQL way NoSQL. Accurate? Probably not, but it sure does seem to bring in those other ones that everyone calls NoSQL for some reason (Redis for example).
Just to clarify, I followed up "you can have people who are bad at science but are good at fundraising in public," with "and you can have people with very good science who are bad at fundraising," and I think you probably have a lot more of the latter than the former, which I perceive as the larger injustice. I didn't mean to come across as a downer on the project. I was clear to point out that I know very little about the team behind the Immunity Project and definitely wasn't in a position to evaluate the quality of their science; I was speaking very generally. Even if these projects are unsuccessful, anything that gets the public excited about science is probably a good thing, as long as high-profile failures (which are inevitable; welcome to biology) don't lead to a backlash and general burnout.

"mobile web experience so I could use it anywhere but offline"

Anki has mobile and web versions as well as the desktop client.

It sounds like the ability to collaborate on decks would be a huge plus. Anki has shared decks but it is uploaded by one person with no way to feed changes back to the original maintainer.

Another example is the site kanji.koohii.com was made just so users could share hints on remembering kanji, with an SRS built into the site. It allows people to look at different options and the user can use someone else's hint or they can create their own (but they can't create their own deck). So even though the collaboration is limited there, it's really useful.

Code highlighting - looks like there are anki plugins for that.

Everyone I've interacted with in person has been normal and friendly. Fielding multiple no-reply emails is the most frustrating part.

simonster ,thanks for the comment. You touched on a lot of the reasons why we are building Algorithmia.com. If we can remove the barrier to getting the code up and running we believe more people will get access and use innovative scientific code.

The competition between labs is an interesting point. In a non- academic world we would see competition as good: better results, algorithm optimizations etc. Sadly I can see this as a deterrent to publishing code in the academic world though.
Reddit is a shit hole of shadow bans and fake accounts.
I myself have many fake accounts on reddit that I use to upvote and downvote. I have successfully taken posts off the front page of a sub-reddit all by myself , I have successfully fought shadow bans with multiple accounts , I have successfully downvoted , all by myself , downvoted people I don't like into the hidden section.

And I'm just one guy doing this , there are corporations who manipulate reddit all the time , there is even a sub-reddit dedicated to talking about it.

There are also people who have created businesses on selling accounts and votes on reddit. That's how corrupted that place is.

Is it something to do ? Yes. Do I see it in the same league as facebook and twitter ? NO Way.

And because of the shadow bans you are never really free to say what you want , which is another reason reddit sucks.
Plus the very concept of the shadow ban deserves that they should get abused.
My experience has been that prices are typically the same for ebooks on both platforms. But I get more flexibility from what devices I can read my books on via B&N, while I have to jump through hoops to get a Kindle book working in a non-Amazon reader.

A few years ago I started working on an ebook price comparison site when I first bought my Nook, but I quit once I noticed there was very little price differentiation to make the effort worth it. My understanding was that ebook prices were being set by the publisher's.

I think now overall there are more instances of price differentiation, but usually B&N still matches Amazon.

I have a buddy who went through six-sigma and Toyota Production System training in his work as a Process Engineer in a large manufacturing company. When we talked about the application of methodology to an organization, he made a keen observation on human nature: "people don't like to be told what to do." To me, this goes a long way toward explaining why "conceptual integrity" matters more than a methodology, and why it is difficult to apply a methodology to a new team or company unless they discover it for themselves organically.
That Gox used to be something else means nothing. What matters is what it is - and that is not a trading card site. Millions of domains were something else. Many of us have pivoted from one idea to the next while salvaging what we can or what we learned.

I also don't think being in over your head or having architectural issues is a crime - it's the default state for startups, especially ones trying to keep up with big growth.

Putting shit on mtgox for being the quintessential bootstrapped startup, on HN, is just stupid.

3D: get Blender and focus on learning it. Treat it like learning a programming language. You get out of it as much as you put in. The only reason people don't use Blender is because it's not 3DSMAX or Maya and that was what they used in college, so that is what they've spent the most time on. Blender is much better now than 10 years ago. It was garbage 10 years ago, but I've done real work in it and found it to be quite easy to use even 2 years ago.

Get yourself a drum machine of some kind. I have one of the older Korg Kaossilators, a handheld device that runs on batteries. The new ones are even better. I plug the headphone jack into the microphone jack of my computer and I record directly into Audition. Making serviceable music for games is quite easy with it. Just remember that less is more when it comes to music, and don't be afraid to do non-traditional stuff, off beat, dissonant. It's easy to make and creates much more atmosphere.

Neither I was able to figure out on my own, but they were all quite easy to use after reading a few tutorials on them.

Just remember, treat it like programming. You're not going to get it overnight.

It's not like the current exchanges was going to adopt Bitcoin at that time. Mt. Gox was as far as I'm concerned one of the more qualified and logical places for a large exchange to start.

The whole Bitcoin network started with outsiders, it grew because of outsiders, because of hobbyists. The existing institutions saw no value in it; saw no point in it; saw a laughable attempt at creating competition with their established system.

Hating on Mt. Gox for doing something risky -and taking blows for it along the way- is ridiculous, and this schadenfreude over it being in a tight spot now speaks more to your character than it does the company.

Depends if you take absolute or probablistic logic to be the more fundamental. Absolute logic has held sway for a very long time, because it is obvious that either something is there, or it is not. Since the birth of quantum mechanics however, it is looking as though probability might be a little more fundamental to reality itself than we had previously assumed. Look at the classic "Cogito ergo sum". With an absolute perspective on logic, you cannot get much further, however if looked at probalistically, you can start looking at options and start assigning them weights. Now this doesn't get you any closer to the concept of what is absolutely true beyond the initial statement, however I am not sure that it is a given that reality itself is absolute for all parameters, so the trap might be that many of what we percieve as flaws in induction are actually meaningless questions until they are reformulated probabalistically.

Alternatively I might be talking bollocks, I did first think of this while pretty drunk.
I was wondering how generous was the reward Facebook gives for helping them find this kind of security issues, can you share that? (If you consider that you don't want to share this kind of information is completely fine for me, im just curious).

Discussion is not dumping a list of articles on another person. If you point out ones that specifically refute my points, I am happy to read them. I don't have time to read 20 articles now. I started with some but the quality of the linked articles was not all that great.

"That post is quite accurate. While today some of those things have been corrected after the fact (Lise Meitner is now credited with a Nobel Peace Prize, but did not get awarded at the same time as others), those stories are true."

I ask you to read the Wikipedia articles about all those women. It's not at all true that they were forgotten or cheated out of recognition for their work. Another one of them became the first female professor at Harvard, for example.

"there are many studies to look at and several books published on the subject."

Point me to a good one, then. The one that was linked here was merely a summary. I don't even know how many classrooms were scrutinized.
The other nice thing about picking a "bread-and-butter" language is that it qualifies you for opportunities where you can leverage it to learn other skills. It's so much easier to learn, say, machine-learning if you enter a company where there are machine-learning experts that you can observe at work and ask questions of, rather than just trying to read all the online course material. That requires having something to bring to the table, and if you're really good at frontend stuff you can get hired at places that do that and work on projects where people are doing really interesting backend stuff.
FB already has the money, why should they care about engagement? What is the value proposition for that if goodwill is not a primary driver? That is, is there any indication that FB isn't simply penny-wise and pound-foolish?

The fancy cryptologic syslogd is fallible as I mentioned previously, so why depend on it? And really if you really want to cover your tracks you can just cause random disk corruption over the whole disk (and just happen to damage the journal in the process). Things will start failing rapidly, fsck will later show itself fixing the disk corruption, and it will be assumed to be a hardware error and the incident ignored.

Security half-measures do not mean you are secure. If it can be hacked, it will be hacked, and then what was the point of sacrificing your whole system's init system?

(Also you could just replace syslogd with a journaled syslogd, rather than replacing your entire init system... but I guess that's off-topic?)

It's not even just the fusion of desktop and mobile in principle, but the failure to execute that concept. My mom took to her iPad like a fish to water, and quickly learned to send e-mails, surf the web, receive and send photos, etc. Meanwhile, I had a Surface RT for a bit, and while Metro was slick, I found myself constantly being switched to the desktop. Want to open a word document as an attachment? You have to flip to a completely different UI parallel and barely interoperable UI to do it. Even a lot of the basic settings were duplicated incompletely between the two worlds (I haven't tried Windows 8.1 myself, so I don't know). It's simply an unacceptable design feature for a consumer-level product.

I don't think the concept is flawed. I actually think Metro is the "right answer" for your typical user, with a hidden file system and tiled window management, even on the desktop. However for this to be plausible, you need to be able to ship without the desktop, which means Office needs to be Metro-friendly. The stop-gap of shipping with both Metro and the traditional desktop is a fatal execution flaw in what's otherwise a reasonably sound design.

A better, technically possible, solution would be to open Win32 apps as full screen apps within Metro, and allow the usual tiling and app switching. This is basically how OS X works, and it's very effective and also quite efficient if using a touchpad that allows gestures.
Thanks for the kind words! I have a pile of notes that I decided to work into several articles, so stay tuned.
