Another argument that goes across this one is wether we can prevent at all essentially having all our lives "deducible" without sacrificing technological progress with two things in mind:

a) Demanding better answers or better functionality ultimately relies on surrendering information (information problem)

b) Computing power will allow machine-learning algorithms to deduce a lot from very little (computing power problem)

Novel crypto may eventually produce solutions to this, but it's unclear. An example, regarding location privacy: http://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/pubs/papers/locpriv.pdf
As well as which locations are unusual behavior, given your past behavior - there's no hiding a quick trip to <embarrassing place> in the haystack.
Unless you have good processes involving mandatory access controls (like the NSA added to Linux), multiple eyes on everything, and audit. Crazy overkill for most situations, but more or less what I'd expected from the NSA. Key management is comparatively easy inside a military style hierarchy.
Just spent half an hour trying to figure out why 256 color mode stopped working in Vim.

I'm blaming you =P

In all seriousness actually trying to get 256 colour mode auto detecting and working reliability across different xterms, tmux/screen, ssh and so on, without some hack that forces the 256 on even when it's not supported seems impossible :/

I added the following to my zshrc, which seems to have helped. Why don't these terminals report 256 color mode by default?

if [ "$COLORTERM" == "yes" -a "$TERM" == "xterm" ]; then
export TERM=xterm-256color
fi
That is making the assumption that you can work extra hours instead of shopping, cooking, and cleaning, which I doubt is the case for most people. So even though you may be spending 15 hours a month on food preparation and cleanup, you're not really out $750.
This goes back to peering between Cogent and Verizon, and possibly "legitimately" has nothing to do with netflix the business. Verizon's public peering policy states:

"1.2 Traffic Exchange Ratio. The ratio of the aggregate amount of traffic exchanged between the Requester and the VERIZON Internet Network with which it seeks to interconnect shall be roughly balanced and shall not exceed 1.8:1."

Their equal traffic ratio has been in every tier 1's peering policy since the 90s. The issue is that Cogent (One of Netflix's ISPs) is used almost exclusively by content providers, and thus traffic ratios are going to not going to be balanced. Traditionally peering was only free between those with similar traffic ratios, and it was free as payments to each other would cancel each other out anyway. Verizon, you could say legitimately, believes Cogent is not a peer and should either pay them for the interconnection, or purchase transit from someone who is a peer.

This is not new with Cogent. At one time they were practically giving away IP transit to any eyeball heavy ISPs to help balance their ratios. They muscled themselves into Tier One-ish status by buying cheap fiber after the bubble burst and sold transit for cheaper than anyone to build up traffic. Rather than paying settlement fees to make up for the traffic inbalance, Cogent has played hard ball and went through numerous de-peerings where Cogent's customers were unable to access the other network.

Peering is a messy world. It used to be the content providers and the eyeball networks both had to pay the national Tier 1s for access and the Tier 1s interconnected for free. Now the ma bells ended up buying the Tier 1s. (Verizon bought MCi/UUnet, SBC/BellSouth bought ATT) and so the eyeball networks are the Tier 1s. And the Tier 1s also own cable networks that compete with one Cogent's customers (netflix). This is a newer development and so while Verizon's network team may rightly be suggesting Cogent should pay them, this ignores the bigger picture. The old peering paradigms may need adjusting now.
The license removal was completely accidental, I will include it as soon as I get back to it.
I don't think it's commonly made by beginner modelers the way helloworld is with programmers. As I understand it, the teapot is more so useful as a pre-built model which you can use to test out different textures, materials, and shaders. It's not too complicated of a shape, but it has curves and flat areas more simple geometry doesn't have.
It seems these types of transactions have nothing to do with potentials profits, but with power over users, or "lying on a bed of weeds and ripping them out before they strangle you".

* I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. If there is an actual concern you should talk to a lawyer.

Probably not. If you are doing it on your time and not using company resources any claim to the outside work by your employer are going to be pretty weak.

If you are building a product that directly relates to what the company does you are probably entering a gray area.
> I guess I use it as another online CV.

> I don't think the network should be reporting views to profile owners. Of course I'm spooked by this.

So you're essentially freaked out that a prospective employer or business contact is looking at your CV.

> Not finding employees.

HR departments are paying for those premium accounts because they use it to find employees. Are you suggesting they don't know what they are doing?

> Not finding work. Can I even separate my contacts into people-that-can-see-that-im-looking and people-that-shouldnt nowadays?

You can update your profile without broadcasting the change to your contacts, and you can answer job offerings privately too.

A lot of people use it as the de-facto rolodex: you can learn a lot about who you're going to meet without being "stalkish" because people expect to be searched (well, not you apparently). You can use it to contact people in specific positions (cold call), I've done it with great success to get past unresponsive customer services.

Many people don't agree with their growth tactics, but few would say it's useless.

Ask HN: Live chat for customer support/sales reccomendations? 
We're using a major ticketing system and their live chat is a little flakey (does not take the chat off the site when you go offline). So we're looking around for a standalone alternative and don't mind paying. Anyone recommend a live chat service?

Cool features would include: Audio in-your-face ringing if a customer types a msg. Mark a rep offline if the software detects the support rep hasn't done anything on their machine for a while because perhaps they walked away.

Good find. What about 10.8 and earlier? Have you heard anything about iOS6?
I looked at it, even bought a couple books. A guy here at work was a huge booster for it, and used it in some small piece of production code. It looked cool, and I love parallel and distributed processing, so the idea of 'fail fast' appealed to me because of how it seemed to simplify a lot of thinking about such things. Hot swapping sounds awesome.

But

1) I don't currently do much that requires any of that.

2) I don't want to learn a completely different 'kind' of language just to hit one pain point.

3) Resources are quite limited (re the website, training, books)

4) and this is the biggee: I just don't want to do functional programming. Our Erlang booster? Want to know how much time he sometimes spent on mailing lists and such asking "how do you do X"? I mean for pretty basic stuff. I get the value of functional programming and immutability ("oh no you don't" you'll respond, but bear with me), but in the end it is too high a price to pay FOR ME. I work in imperative languages, I am comfortable in them, I can't get away from them (I need C++ for speed, for example), I'm just not going to take on a language that kicks my legs out from under me like that. Y'all can argue about the finer points of functional vs whatever, but I'll abstain. I'm interested in solving my problems, and the imperative model works very well for my brain and needs.

So, for me, an interesting toy. I'm 47 and don't have time to chase 'yet another language' which is all this is for me.

Now, if I was trying to solve issues like the ones that got Armstrong to write Erlang in the first place, perhaps I'd revisit it. But as it is? No. No time. Not enough return on the investment.

Is Bitcoin invsetment a game of chicken?
I am very perplexed as to why Fred Wilson and other vc's would invest money in bitcoin startups without actually buying bitcoins themselves. It seems that them putting just a small amount of money into BTC would give coinbase a much higher chance of success.

So here's a thought: Maybe the wealthiest people in the world see bitcoin invsetment as a game of chicken. If someone like warren buffet puts just a few thousand dollars into bitcoin, its value will skyrocket, giving him and all other bitcoin holders an enormous return. Seeing as how so there is so much money looking for safe investment now, a lot of people would follow him. This would mean capital leaving certain markets and going to BTC - which would seriously drop the value of dollars and other government-backed currencies.

A rapid drop in dollar value would leave even more of the wealthiest people in the world will wanting to move their capital to bitcoin, perpetuating itself. This 'runaway bitcoin value' scenario is probably one they wish to avoid. The world's wealthiest people largely know and trust one another; if bitcoin skyrockets, the richest people won't be able to meet in geneva or vale or wherever and make deals with each other. Even if they did manage to all move in unison to put all their money into BTC, the drop in value of government-backed currnecies would probably cause so much instability in the world that none of them want it to happen for fear of government action shutting bitcoin down. so for people with public reputations as solid investors, bitcoin is game of nuclear chicken: first guy to put money in either wins huge or loses all of it.

Yeah, a little while ago there was a Show:HN for movies. It was: http://pegleg.it/

People are running GPU's through thunderbolt on Macbook Airs. TB Actually has provisions for doing this, but they are severely underdeveloped.
Kinda.

Probability one - it's a joke/hoax/fun. Hence it's unique and no one has any idea about it in current day. The small group of people who created it had a laugh and are long dead.

Probability two, it's a bizarre exciting new language we know absolutely nothing about in anything else. It's freely available on the internet for everyone to see, incredibly popular and know around the world and looked at by many experts in many fields for years. And now someone has decoded it! (In a paper yet to pass peer review?)

I'd go with one myself and I think the reason people chose two is because they don't really get how much people in the past and in other cultures are just like us, they like funny, silly and fun things too.

Choosing two doesn't really make sense and I'm just putting my opinion out there why people do.
sure we can. or could, rather. if we really would do, so many other things would not be.

but we won't. we are sheep. and we like it.
What Apple gets right, however, does not include modularity. Even the two GPU's are not identical twins. It's engineered as consumer electronics kit and to merchandise well under retail lights.

I have always assumed that depression is at least in large part a social illness.

Of my three children, two were born in Indonesia, and one was born in the US. My wife says that the experience was totally different, and that post-partum depression wasn't really an issue as much in Indonesia because she was surrounded by friends and family for over a month after giving birth (this culminates in a large party after 40 days which has a similar social significance to the older tradition of "churching" and the following "gossip" dinner in Europe). Even something which has as clear neurological strata as PPD has a pretty heavy social component too. (Now obviously this isn't to blame those suffering from PPD, but to note that our society to a large extent makes the problem quite a bit worse.)

Similarly I struggled hard with depression for some time after moving to Indonesia in large part due to the isolation it brought me. Eventually I overcame this by overcoming the isolation.

But beyond that I wonder if developers have a couple of additional strikes against them. I find that it is impossible for me to simultaneously think in machine operations and socially connect. Even when I am around other people, if I am thinking about code, that's isolating. Talking about code is not socializing and I am not sure it can be.

Additionally coding is a sedentary activity and exercise is one thing that also is shown to help avoid and treat depression.

I wonder to what extent we should think about structuring our lives as developers around an extended version of the Greek ideal adding a third component:

A healthy body, a healthy mind, and a healthy social life.

On the management side, I also wonder to what extent ensuring that outings involve mild to moderate physical activity may help too. Lasertag, or indoor rock climbing over movies. If there are people who can't, then looking at finding activities they can do too.

I am very confused by the implication that TeX or LaTeX make it easy to create a document that looks exactly the way you want. Unless you want it to look like a paper presented to a publication that has a mandatory style, and a package is available with that style, it's just not true.

And that is almost the whole point. Most people are idiots about how to present written material, so TeX and friends make those decisions for us. It's especially frustrating when you have to dink with floats, because now you're second-guessing TeX, and it exacts a high price.

I've used TeX for over 25 years and I'm comfortable saying that I could produce documents of a similar quality, with better support for collaboration, with Word.

I still use TeX for many projects but the Word style capability is great.
