A lot of really fantastic points from Steve Ballmer that go counter to a lot traditional startup advice - e.g. fail fast, time to success, what brands mean. Hope others find this useful.

OK, but there is a problem upstream of that -- the CIA has NO jurisdiction inside the US. They are a foreign intelligence operation.

Myself, I'd propose a battle royale between the CIA and NSA. Do a giant wargame, see which can pwn the other faster/better. Two agencies enter, one leaves.

The surviving agency is then split into foreign and domestic branches, with a sane level of cooperation.

First, "making music" and "making a living from music" is not the same.

Second, the reason is that the friction to recording and publishing is lower than before.

>Congressional aides involved in preparing the Senate Intelligence Committee’s unreleased study of the CIA’s secret interrogation and detention program walked out of the spy agency’s fortress-like headquarters with classified documents that the CIA contended they weren’t authorized to have, McClatchy has learned.

>After the CIA confronted the panel in January about the removal of the material last fall, panel staff concluded that the agency had monitored computers they’d been given to use in a high-security research room at the CIA campus in Langley, Va., a McClatchy investigation found.

>The documents removed from the agency included a draft of an internal CIA review that at least one lawmaker has publicly said showed that agency leaders misled the Intelligence Committee in disputing some of the committee report’s findings, according to a knowledgeable person who requested anonymity because of the matter’s extraordinary sensitivity.

>Some committee members regard the monitoring as a possible violation of the law and contend that their oversight powers give them the right to the documents that were removed. On the other hand, the CIA considers the removal as a massive security breach because the agency doesn’t believe that the committee had a right to those particular materials.

Nope, it is a PR nightmare that no technicality will get you out of. ‘Malleability bug’, combined with an obnoxious foreigner in an exotic country was James-Bondian enough to get over people’s head. Most people still don’t understand what a browser does; they best understanding of cryptography is that they shouldn’t use their pet’s name for they password because it doesn’t include a number; their current level of confusion is such that even the BBC (the smartest media there is) still illustrate its papers with golden doublons engraved with a sticked B — and you can tell it’s digital because those are iridescent. BitCoin was beyond a tough sell to begin with; now you have three unresolved, unexplainable if they were resolved, impossible to repair if they were explained hacks, each involving more money than anyone can ever expect to have. It doesn’t matter that ‘hot wallet’ is marginal, transactional or what you want to call it: even the simplest explanation that is was “‘orders of magnitude’ less than MtGox” is still is a cop out. The current perception is that whomever will end up keeping your BitCoin is anyone technically savvier than you.

You might like that idea because you trust your own skill-set (risk-assessment and mitigation, I’d say from your comment, not crypto); that’s not the case of hardly anyone, certainly not the people whom you are trying to convince to adopt. Even if you pushed them to consider it, I can’t imagine any actuary seriously pricing the risk of getting it all gone, and only making sense of it far too late, not with the systemic odds on computer security that we had recently: a year of unweaving a industrial-spying complex gone loose, major to the point of being obviously intention SSL breaches at every level of every OS, even things as inspiring as brick-and-mortar Targets get now attacked digitally.

Underestimating economic risk because you exclude financial systemic crisis was one huge mistake; I can’t imagine anyone would jump to the occasion of doing that at an even more obvious level now.

Your explanations have as much chance saving BitCoin as I had stoping the War on Terror by pointing out on September 20, 2001 that lives were actually saved because the reduced traffic and activity after 9/11 meant less road and work accidents, and that all these people falling in smocking rumbles, that was demographics as usual. What is needed now is a compelling case of justice and the rule of law.
I've been to a big party in Korea and people left and when someone asked about the people that left, someone said "I think they left." And that was that.

But now that I'm reading about Korean culture on this post, I think this may have been an extremely isolated incident. I don't know what was different about the event I went to however. Could it have been somewhat Americanized? Or maybe an extreme emergency situation where the person had to leave immediately?

The only circumstance you're eligible for compensation on a domestic, US flight is if you are bumped off the plane due to over booking.

0 to 1 hour arrival delay = No compensation.

1 to 4 hour arrival delay = 200% of one-way fare (but no more than $650).

Over 4 hours arrival delay = 400% of one-way fare (but no more than $1,300).

Well, how can you really judge what that means without a control? For example,it's one thing to say that 40% of people taking X experience suicidal thoughts, quite another to say that 40% of people taking experience suicidal thoughts without having had them before. 40% (a made-up # here) would be quite good if it were lower than the rate of suicidal ideation among untreated depressives.
Really? That's very interesting. Do you have a link or further info about that?
This may be an interesting hurdle for bitcoin that I've never really considered. Because the real life equivalent of bitcoin is essentially cash you have to take security extremely seriously. One fuckup and you lose everything. This isn't really like banks where if someone has their account hacked they can have funds reversed if they are quick enough.

Even Google couldn't keep their datacenters 100% secure, so how will startups fair against the extremely high security cost? Hopefully sane security measures will become widespread, or bitcoin services may be only run by those who can afford security audits.

> Paypal is still the only one that actually works worldwide.

Speaking someone in Japan, it's pretty hard to effectively use Paypal here because it requires (requires!) a credit card. Also, nobody uses it here, so there's no point in jumping through the banking rigamarole to get a working Japanese Paypal account.

I think Paypal never took off here because it's amazingly easy to just send someone (anyone) money very quickly from an ATM as long as you have an account number.

Interviewing the algorithm
So, the big issue my girlfriend had was they put her on anti-depressants for a year and a half.

I have very very severe depression, and how I've learned to cope is using a combination of CBT and anti-d's. The latter, I only take when a bad episode has started, and I come off them within about three or so months.

This avoids the "discontinuation syndrome" and gives me enough of a solid base to overcome the depressive episode using CBT and life changes.. I use them like a band-aid, basically, and it keeps the "dirt" out while my mind heals.

Huh, I thought Walmart would be better as the Walmart Labs team seems fairly confident. IS Walmart labs different from Walmart IT?
Apple has held the mantle for the highest profit per employee for several years - coming in 2013 @ $500k/per.

Considering that takes into account ALL employee wages if you were to hone that number to "per engineer" it would be several multiples higher.

If truly removing collusion left a free market would the top quadrant jobs see a 2x improvement?

And how would startups fare if the $$$ in engineering roles doubled @ the big valley firms?

Short term less as people flocked towards the cash?

Long term more as people built more dry powder to try it on their own?

You've got what appears to be a nice, fair model. As a user though I see that CPM pricing isn't shown upfront, but must be requested via email. So, say I embed an image on my site and realize after 3-6 months that it's close to hitting 10K views...what then? Would it be too complex to reveal a CPM pricing upfront?
None of the ancestor comments are in the spirit of HN. They're much closer to the kind of comments found on Reddit.

See:

"The most important principle on HN, though, is to make thoughtful comments. Thoughtful in both senses: both civil and substantial.

The test for substance is a lot like it is for links. Does your comment teach us anything? There are two ways to do that: by pointing out some consideration that hadn't previously been mentioned, and by giving more information about the topic, perhaps from personal experience."

Hey Product Owners, Trust thy user
You can scan a URL very quickly:

http://myapi.mysite/v1/user/new
http://myapi.mysite/v2/tweets/fetch

The version identifier is always in the same place.

HTTP headers come in an unordered list. And a client can send any number of headers to the API. And the version identifier may be at the beginning of the list, in the middle, the end, any position really.

Even so, I doubt the resource usage is very different per-request. But writ large it may make a difference.
> And how will that help if someone dies suddenly?

You maintain the will while you are not dying. You send the new password for your Keypass/1Password/whatever to your lawyer in a sealed envelope with instructions that it only be opened when your will is being executed.

Then when you are dying, you can forget about it all because you're busy fighting cancer or whatever and don't have time to do silly things like change passwords.

Then when you are dead, your executor has access to the password store and can start the process of archiving and shutting down any accounts you have.

As for the device: a death certificate is not sufficient to transfer millions of pounds of assets: you also have to have some kind of documentation that the assets belonged to the deceased in the first place. Typically this would be a bank account number, a title deed, or even a receipt for the registration of a vehicle.

Apple is simply trying to protect the actual owner of the devices from people trying to steal them.

Walmart Labs and Walmart.com are completely separate from corporate IT, mostly because it's the only way they can operate.

I have a good deal of confidence in Walmart Labs' technical abilities, but they do not have responsibility for the majority of the IT areas that pain the company as a whole.

Hmm I would hope it doesn't look that way. The screenshots are certainly not mockups—we actually have a tiny group of close friends using it already to help us test it out.
One of the goals with my game was to slightly outdo the difficulty of Flappy Bird. Based on feedback, I know I outdid it, the question is by how much. One thing I do know is that the game is not impossible. Game Center leaderboard scores are slowly increasing.

Kind of wish I had an Android version so you could play it now. :)
Nah, sounds like Escitalopram and Buspirone.

I'm on both, I've been told by multiple doctors that they're often prescribed together as the Buspirone can offset the side effects of Escitalopram
Here's a Getty Images executive expressing what you feel was my "personal assumption"

> The new embeds are built on the same iframe code that lets you embed a tweet or a YouTube video, which means the company can use embeds to plant ads or collect user information.

Still believe "there is nothing in the article to suggest advertising"?
How would you imagine WebSockets working as part of a CDN? We are in the process of developing something like this for Fanout.io and could use some input. :)
Big data for your personal life.
Only one problem: Big data is amazingly hard to get valuable insight out of. Correlation is relatively easy, but causation? Not so much.

Actually, even if the data isn't big, it's still _really_ hard to figure out causation. If exist.io does make it, It'll be because they figure out just ONE kind of reliable causative relationship they pull out of their data, and they figure out how too monetize that....

This is actually a pretty clever way to crowdsource THAT process though...
Those metrics would be great to have. We already have a huge to do list of services to integrate, and I'd love to have some easily available ones like heart rate and blood pressure in there soon.
Perhaps its a good way to validate the idea / test the market? I wouldn't pay a $1 myself, but if they can get 1,000 people to pay $60, more power to them.
"The person with the second CV could be a better developer on a C# project than your language expert, despite having little or no C# experience."

No. What you're essentially stating is more experience is detrimental. That someone with a few months experience who is writing her first application in a particular language / stack will perform better than a veteran. Knowing the basics is important, but having experience not only with the language but with the libraries, apis, build tools, frameworks etc. is what separates a good programmer from a decent one. Both programmers in this case have the basics but the experienced person has a lot more than the basics. I'm not against hiring a polyglot, even one with no experience in the language/stack that will be used. Hiring a polyglot does not make up for experience and knowledge, however.
I'm sorry my comment caused you to feel such a negative reaction.

For what it's worth, I didn't say what I said casually. I've worked through similar issues with a coach over the past few years and being honest with myself about the real motivations behind things has been a profoundly useful experience.

I hope we can talk about this in person together some day. I feel like you've got me all wrong, and the fault lies in my inability to convey my empathy for the author through my words alone.
None of that makes sense, at all.

Asking targets to first go to the account->security settings to disable the option named "Allow my account to be hijacked if I paste malicious JavaScript", and then to paste this JavaScript, seems to me to be quite clearly less effective than the simpler "paste this JavaScript".

Furthermore I strongly suspect that compromised accounts cause more harm to Facebook's bottom line than users who are exporting their address books. Millions lost every quarter due to fraud vs... what, exactly?

Beyond HTTP Link Headers
I agree that the example would be better if it raised questions about the weaknesses of this approach and the next steps you might need for a more general solution. But it is still a legitimate example. I'm an amateur, but I'm pretty sure the world of production grade vision systems is full of hacks like this. A good example is a nose detector on a depth sensor: just look for the closest point to the camera. John Russ's Image Procesing Handbook (amazon.com/Image-Processing-Handbook-Sixth-Edition/dp/1439840458) is full of examples where simple techniques are good enough under controlled circumstances.

True object recognition would require strong AI. Every real life vision system is a compromise that makes many assumptions about its input. You'd be foolish to reach for something like SIFT if you really know that the car is always yellow and it always parks in the same 200x200px square.
