You seem to think that the number of times someone makes a carefully prepared public statement needs to be greater than one to determine what they think on the subject.

I do not see how the logic follows there.

That it's reported in the news or published on his blog or written in a memoir or whatever is not the relevant fact here. The relevant fact is that it is something that he carefully planned to say and said, and that is sufficient information to have high confidence that it is what he meant to say and therefore what he thinks.
Python is a great language. Python and Java are actually both great work-ready languages that can get you hired.

As a (very recent, after a loong delay) Open Pandora owner, I appreciate the skill and almost manic relentlessness that these people (especially EvilDragon) have, and that clearly goes into this project too. Good luck!

On a more technical note, it's ... fascinating with a scent of just plain scary that they're using a MIPI display. I have some experience in that field, and MIPI seems to mix with open hardware right about as well as lithium mixes with water. Have fun. :/

And what you are saying doesn't make sense to me. You want to achieve meaningful results when competing with people who are vastly more prepared to you. Why do you feel entitled to making facebook work?

The truth is you (and majority of the people who posted here) have spent negligeble amounts of money testing and have read very little on the subject and even less time on putting down a strategy. I have a newsflash for you - marketing is hard and you are not entitled to results, just because you throw $50 on facebook ads.
The problem is, it is "safe" in the sense that it is a medical drug with a known set of effects. You cannot cause breathing to cease with ketamine. People aren't allergic to it. It is used on battlefields and in road traffic accidents for these reasons. It doesn't really cause vomiting, at least not in the lethal combination with total unconsciousness that leads alcohol and heroin to take so many lives. So it is "safe," especially in the context of occasional use.

When you get a community of people with constant, cheap access to large amounts, it's a different story. Ironically, if the acute effects were slightly more severe, the long-term effects might not be such a problem, as chronic abuse would be less prevalent.

The major disconnect between Google ads, Facebook ads, and likes is that Facebook likes don't mean anything. Very rarely are people begging to engage with your company — in that case, they'd already be engaged. When you ask google "cheapest flights to SF" it will serve your ads to an eager audience on a silver platter; Whereas many Facebook users will like anything moderately interesting or cool, and the ads show up between "Girl from high school had a baby" and beach photos.

It's apples and oranges. Imgur/9GAG aren't advertising on Google, just as travel agencies won't see much ROI on Facebook.
Marginal Cost. IPv4 addresses are expensive, IPv6 practically free.

Direct addressability. Removes the need for slow, expensive intermediaries like NAT boxes and certain types of proxies by allowing security policies to be applied independently of network addressing.

Simplified network planning. Enough address space to make an address layout based on your actual needs rather than being forced to carve up your limited v4 allocation in weird ways. You no longer have to guess what the right long term size of your subnets are (they are always big enough) or worry about putting unrelated machines on the same subnet because you are out of space for new subnets.

Before HN I only heard of ketamine once: Greg House telling nurses to tell Cuddy "I want ketamine". Drug is drug, OK.

Turns out it is well known "recreational" drug.

It seems you are missing the point of the video.
And I stand by what I said.

It's tough to find statistics but the article below says that between 1993 and 2006, 23 deaths were tied to ketamine use. That to me qualifies as safe and relatively non-addictive in the context of recreational drug use.

Oh yeah, and banning discussion of recreational drug use will do wonders for harm reduction, lol.
>We don’t want advertisers to get fans that aren’t good for their business -- we want to help them drive real results, and we can’t do that with bad likes. We invest a lot in improving the systems to monitor and remove fake likes from the system, and also in helping advertisers set smart targeting to help them reach the people they care most about.

Has no one ever suggested being able to add targeting filters to target users with a total number of likes between x and y? It may seem counter intuitive, however it would allow people to stop targeting users who don't like anything and avoid those who like everything (and therefore can't possibly engage with all their likes).

To me this seems like the obvious solution (with a bit of tweaking to the upper bound), however as the video states this could be negative for Facebook to implement due to the (denied) benefit of fake likes to them. With this implemented however, it could possibly force the click farms to be maintaining simultaneous accounts to keep their total likes down?

Looking at my own Facebook account, I have 46 likes, so surely a company wishing to advertise, would want to advertise with; if they targeted adverts to users with above 2 likes and below ~500 whom are also within they're usual specific filters and regions they are more likely to reach their desired audience of active users. Yes it's quite possible they would miss a tiny percentage of outliers with thousands of likes or new accounts with 0 likes, but that's simply a cost of doing business efficiently.

May I share with you two pieces advice my father gave that I take with me everywhere:

- Never say no - always negotiate.

- If you don't ask, the answer is no.

The reaction you shared is not particularly business savvy. Business relationships (contrary to lots of shitty analogies out there) are not like a friendship/romance.

>Leave or don't. If I'm your manager, the moment you expect me to counteroffer I'm planning on getting rid of you.

Why? What possible rational reason is this your reaction?

> No offense, but you just told me, "Hey, I'm shopping around."

Yes, they did. You just received an extra piece of information to use as a manager. Maybe this requires a re-evaluation of the current situation?

> No offense, but that means, as a manager, I'd better start shopping around, too.

Maybe or maybe not. That is one of the possible outcomes. But, it is not the only one. This is called 'jumping to conclusions'. Always negotiate. If you don't even think to ask, "is there anything that would make this person stay" then the answer is no.

> And, you want to leave a company on your own schedule rather than the company's schedule.

Of course. What wouldn't they?

Please get over Flappy Birds as soon as possible. The lessons to learn are: simplicity in difficulty is key (see: The Impossible Game[1]), mobile game advertising has /horrible/ ROI, and the tech world is too easy to whip itself into a frenzy caused by its own feedback.

The only reason this is still a story (Flappy Bird pre-installed iPhones, knockoffs galore, etc) is because it's a story in itself. I feel really sorry for this guy.

Actually there is another form of formal addressing that is more like the spanish and german: "her majesty", "his holiness" (with the equivalents in French, "son altesse", "sa sainteté"). This closes some gap between those languages, and show that there is also a remaining formal address in modern English and there are 2 in modern french.

(next time, examples of present continuous in modern french)
I think the solution to this has to be on multiple fronts. It would be a good idea to push for laws which forbid certain kinds of surveillance. In the US the situation with the constitutionality of the NSA activity needs to be clarified. In the UK it would appear that the activities of GCHQ - particularly using DDoS and other "dirty" methods - is against the existing computer misuse laws. Investigating and following up on that would be useful. Probably they will make all of that retroactively legal, but there might be an opportunity to challenge and stop that in parliament.

On the technical front if you're a software engineer you can spend some of your time helping to develop, test and debug the various encrypted communication systems. Often security audits are needed. If you're not a software engineer then find out how to use encryption tools - PGP, XMPP/OTR, Tor, Bitmessage, etc and encourage your friends to use them.
I've been on the free account for a while now, and when I received a surge of traffic they responded to 460,000 of the 500,000-ish HTTP requests and served 48gb of the 50 that were requested over the course of about 12 hours. My server load sat at 0.01 the whole time and I could not have been happier. The concept is absolutely sound in theory and in practice.

You raise a great point about reliability however. The above example was a personal project so I don't really lose much if there's the odd down-time here and there. I'd love to recommend this for the enterprise-level clients where I work but the idea of a point of failure out of one's direct control is a bit alarming, and I am surprised and disappointed to see them succumb to a DDOS that affects what (I assume?) was their entire network - even paying customers.

I notice even now my homepage is taking seconds to load, when usually it responds instantly. My guess is that they're prioritizing access at this stage due to the DDOS, if it's still ongoing.
Don't forget that the context was that of the Great Purge of '37.

They would take random people make up absolutely ludicrous accusations, hand out heavy sentences and send them to labor camps. Just for giggles and shit, basically. That was a dark, rotten time. They fostered the norm of everyone ratting on everyone and, disgustingly, to a degree it worked. The running joke was that after a neighbor dinner party NKVD (KGB's predecessor) always received comprehensive reports on what was discussed, from every guest.

So it wasn't just the mathematics. If someone had an inclination towards unethical and predatory behavior, that was the most fertile time to act on it and a bit too many people actually did. Those were the dark times really.

I wish school taught reverse engineering. Or perhaps I should say breaking things apart. You often need to reuse software written by someone outside your team and soon realize the software either has bugs you have to fix yourself or needs features you must add.

I've never seen a class on reverse engineering.
It saddens me that I feel like every interaction with Comcast is a "process" at best and an outer circle of hell on average.
In the EE/CE program I went to, the first class you were required to take was "Intro to Digital Systems". It consisted of a little bit of classroom basics k-maps, binary/hex/octal math, gate logic, etc mixed with a lab that took a breadboard and applied the knowldge you learned in the classroom to make blinky lights/sounds. Not very impressive, but in the course of making the light blink you learn rules for debugging systems that are applicable everywhere (change only one thing, then test after every change, think about what each change means in terms of expected output given an input, etc). If you know how to do basic electronics going in, you have an easy A and a bunch of free time. If you are learning it all for the first time, you probably spend 10-15 hours a week on a 3 hour lab until it clicks.

The class had something like a 90% pass rate so I don't think this is something that can't be taught with a mixture of normal classroom plus TA+Prof help in labs.
It's hard-earned knowledge. I have had the privilege to work with Ivan and couldn't pass posting it here because it is an awesome piece. What he outlines is equally applicable for anything that involves a lot of people. It all boils down to fixing the people issue. It is interesting that many times you do not even have to change the people to make the machine work.It almost always comes to lack of experience, lack of leadership from above, unclear goals and denial you have a problem (which is due to the lack of experience).

You brought an interesting point and I have observed it myself too. At many occasions teams would be on the track to improvement but they would crumble because of pressure from above. When a kid can't even walk, regardless of how hard you push it, it can't start running. This applies to engineering teams too.
I find that in practice, the exact opposite happens.

A fine example to illustrate how difficult this is, is differences in attitudes towards homosexuals. One country, e.g. Croatia, where homosexuality is not as accepted as it is in my country (the Netherlands), might decide to forbid a Gay Parade because the risk of its participants being beaten up is too big. This, in turn, would cause great political turmoil in a country like the Netherlands, because of discrimination.

In such cases, I've seen Dutch MEPs try to make Brussels enforce that the parade takes place and is properly protected by police.

Who is right? My sense of values says the Dutch. My sense of politics (subsidiarity) says that the Croatians can figure it out for themselves. Who are we to export our morals to other member states?

But this is an unpopular view. I suspect that the majority of Dutchmen would support strong European laws and guidelines to protect homosexuals. But what if Brussels starts to similarly override our drug policies, which many other member states find immoral? Suddenly this whole centralization thing doesn't sound so nice anymore.

Software DEVELOPMENT is a lot of design and problem solving. It also usually involves changing requirements and discovering limitations of the tools. I agree that there's a lot of uncertainty in the development process.

Software DELIVERY is what management, customers, and users care about. If a software system does not meet requirements, or if it's so late or over budget that it's a net loss to the customer, it matters little how well-designed it is or what problems were solved.

By predictable and repeatable I mean the entire process. Obviously not every aspect of of the development process can be predicted, nor are projects enough alike to be produced by an assembly line. What management and customers want is a reliable prediction that the system will meet requirements and be finished on schedule and within budget. And they want to believe that a process that can deliver a system this year can do it again.

An architect can reliably predict that a house or an office tower can be made from their plans. A chip designer can predict that a working CPU can be designed and built. An automobile designer can predict that a working car can be made. And these processes are repeatable. Any designer/builder will encounter problems to solve and changing requirements. Failures occur in these realms, too, but not nearly as often as with software projects.

I've heard the argument that software development is different: it's a creative process, the people are idiosyncratic, the problems are unpredictable. I think big-budget movies face the same challenges, but even in that domain there are predictable and repeatable processes that are reasonably good at delivering.

I agree that "Looking for something that can perfectly transform any human requirement into code, in a predictable manner, is just silly." I didn't write anything like that, nor is that what I think anyone means by software development methodologies.
If you don't trust his opinions on MS because his is obviously not rational when it comes to them (often biased in Microsoft's favor), why would you trust it when he abruptly changes them?

> "All on-line ads are mostly worthless"

I would tend to agree, if we keep the "mostly" in mind. You really need to target you ad money on places where the users are already trying to buy something.

Other than that I don't see ads on random sites working any better than television or print ads. Maybe that's okay, but let's face it, I'm not going to buy 10kg of fire wood because I see an ad on a news site.
I don't see where you are getting "relatively non-addictive" from. I have had many positive experiences with Ketamine, but I will be the first to say that it takes a lot of self-control to not overdo it.
