>don't run the real-time stuff on the CPU.

You have to is what I'm saying.

>that does the real-time interaction with the data...

I already gave an example where I literally said I do this. What your not understanding is the time to poll and respond are part of this real time system.

As I said before. The amount of time between "Kernel, I need this time stamp." and "PID 1337 here is your time stamp" is not instant, and is not constant. There are several stages of blocking I/O, which are not always given priority over other threads. This amount of time I stated will not be instant, nor constant. While for 100% accuracy it needs to both. This part, the collection and storage, needs to ALSO take place in real time BUT BEING IN USERLAND, it can't.

So to outline

Topic: UserLand Kernel RealTimeCard
Stage
1) Request Counting Pulses (You Want This)
2) Unknown time Counting Pulses (Additional Error)
3) Spent Doing I/O Counting Pulses (Additional Error)
4) Changing Tasks Counting Pulses (Additional Error)
5) etc. Counting Pulses (Additional Error)
7) Near Instant Response
8) Unknown time (+Error)
9) Changing Tasks (+Error)
10) Managing Memory (+Error)
11) Higher Priority Threads (+Error)
12) Data received

What this example boils down to you get a time stamp 8 'cycles' after you thought you'd get it. But that actual time stamp is really 5 'cycles' off of what you should have gotten.

Those 2 unknowns between your real time and userland are where your error comes from. You have both pre-call and post call error added. Neither are avoidable.

No matter whats on the other end of your bus unless your bus moves faster then light.
This author isn't helping the cause either. He is going as far as calling the pilots "heroes". He is grandstanding just like other journalists.

One would think that cabin smoke was one of the first scenarios experts considered.
Feminist scholars are in this case at odds with most experts on the English language, and the topic is unfortunately word usage. This is one of the peculiarities of modern feminism that I find frustrating. It is difficult enough to persuade people that discrimination against women is a real problem that needs addressing without also having to convince them to adopt this weird Newspeak.
Good thing Yehuda has his phone number there so people can make sure to contact him directly with their input.

I am very excited though honestly, I think he did amazing work with Bundler and is quite smart so I'm sure we'll get something quite useable.
I believe Keen.io does something very similar to this as well. iirc they use hashed API keys with some user ID in order to show user specific metrics.

I always thought there approach was interesting. Kudos for coming up with something very similar.
Seems nice. It will take a look soon! ;)
The primary function of a CAPTCHA is to act as a gatekeeper that a human can bypass while a not can not.
The reCAPTCHA was a clever creation to put capture what would otherwise be fruitless labor.

I was curious too, was thinking about coding it. Anybody know the odds for a 2 or 4 appearing? Is it 50-50 or...?
Don't go for EB-1, go for EB-2. It's a lot easier in terms of the documented requirements. Also, unless you are from China/India/Philippines there is no difference in wait time between the two.
Also complaining about getting hit on? Really? A person finds you attractive and wants to talk to you. What a monster.

Amusingly enough, I was just reading an article by a woman, complaining that not enough men hit on her in SF.

Just a heads up, the demo wasn't working for me properly using HTTPS everywhere as well. The music would play, but nothing aside from the progress bar/slider would show in the white box, and the full demo never got past reticulating splines.

The issue went away after disabling HTTPS everywhere and restarting FF.

Unfortunately no. Recaptcha implemented a new feature recently that uses some sort of data to determine whether you are a bot or not. Unless it can know you are a human, you will get the hard alphabetical ones.

There is some sort of control though, going to the Google Account creation page will only give you easy captchas. Possibly an undocumented API or a custom build, we can't know for sure.
> None received nobel prizes, but many had shown previous entrepreneurial success. The visa requirements give this no consideration.

3, 7 & 8 can be directly shown from prior entrepreneurial successes. 4 is also very possible for such a person (think hackathons, Startup Weekends, angel beauty pageants, etc.)

It's someone without a prior record of success that this visa is not appropriate for. For an entrepreneur with a successful exit already under his belt it works fine (though there are many other options for such a person as well.)
Thanks for the comment. I am not proposing using OPT as a founder visa, all I am saying is using OPT is one viable alternative, maybe not as cool as a founder visa, but you can still pull it off in the condition I stated in my other response to you.
Neil deGrasse Tyson in Slow-Mo
Yeah, except when I do start a conversation with you, I'm hitting on you, and probably being "creepy".

I have to navigate a mental minefield of "don't say this" "don't say that too much" or "don't be overly aggressive", otherwise I get screamed about on twitter, labeled as a misogynist, and possibly fired from my job. (Uh-oh, I said dongle! Or...[1]meritocracy!)

I'm not saying women in tech don't have problems, they do, but I'm really sick of hearing this like it's a completely one-sided problem. The stupid evil men are holding the women down and keeping them from succeeding!

Gender dynamics are hard, for EVERYBODY. Men are having to deal with the fact that suddenly (or maybe not suddenly?) doing things like getting beer after conferences is bad, telling jokes to one another is bad, thinking certain thoughts is bad, using certain words[2] is bad.

I'm sorry if you come to a conference and I don't behave in the ultra-narrowly-defined way that you have determined makes me not part of the problem (although I recently found out that asking if I did it wrong makes me part of the problem).

I don't have a context for this! And it seems like everything I, and other men like me, try to do to make you feel included is WRONG, and we're BAD for doing it!

Invite you to beers after a conference? Hitting on you!

Compliment you on what you're wearing? Hitting on you! Objectifying you! Noticing that you are a partially-physical entity! THE HORROR!

Ask you about your projects? Flirting with you!

Make a suggestion about your project? Mansplaining at you!

Men have to navigate a constantly changing, and VERY hazardous minefield every time we talk to you. I'm really sorry (really, genuinely, that is not sarcasm) that sometimes we get it wrong, or sometimes we just forego trying at all and stay quite around you. A lot of it is really just because we don't want to mess it up and make you angry. Women have a LOT of power over men in these situations, and if we screw up even a tiny tiny bit, it can ruin our lives.

CAPTCHAs have always suffered from keming.

I hate CAPTCHA, and avoid using sites that require me to use them every time I post a comment even though I'm a registered user of the site.
finallyfeminism101.wordpress.com/2007

Holocaust denial theorizers have better sources.

The work environment was allegedly sexist, and sexist comments were allegedly made, based on the word of a disgruntled former employee who in the recent past complained that the word 'meritocracy' is sexist.

Somehow I think the most reasonable opinion to hold is that of extreme doubt towards someone who probably encounters hundreds of 'horribly, deeply sexist' situations in every-day life.
The prices of things are not what they are worth, but what the market will bear.

The 30 year mortgage allows a rich man to outbid you on the home that you want to buy to live in, a property that he has no personal interest in, so that you can pay interest on the money you only had to borrow so that it could not be loaned to someone else, such that they could afford to pay more than you. That money pumped into the market only serves to raise prices. Houses are built larger and more expensively than they otherwise would be because the buyers are able to pay more.

If there were no mortgage loans available, the market would be producing a greater number of cheaper homes for sale, and a greater number of rental homes for investors, with more economic separation between those markets. The rich man outbidding you for property would have to actually assume ownership of it, and would shoulder some risk of carrying vacant rental units. Venturing into property-owner-land as a rentals investor would evoke a nasty NIMBY response.

Believe me when I say that it is possible for every person in America to own their own home, even with just a single minimum wage job for the whole household. But it isn't bloody likely, thanks to mortgage lending, zoning laws, and building and occupancy codes that completely eliminate entire classes of low-cost housing as either unprofitable for developers or outright illegal.

This same phenomenon is now occurring in higher education, wherein loans inflate the price, the product remains essentially the same, and the buyer is saddled with an enormous burden of debt. Debt is a trap laid by the wily for the foolish. But it persists because the practice nestles snugly into a Nash equilibrium. The practice is not at an absolute maximum, but neither player alone can improve his position by making a different move.

The only way for the erstwhile borrower to win is to form a cartel able to punish anyone who takes a loan to pay for a good or service too scarce to supply everyone in the cartel. In other words, non-rich folks win by regulating the hell out of lending, to reduce the number and amount of loans available.
Could you expand on that, please?

I am very emphatically _not_ saying that you're wrong, but without enumerating what your problems are, you can't get them solved.

Yes. The fact that no one was hurt should make it not a criminal offense, maybe it's still severely punished civilly, but it should not incur being jailed.
But radiation can go through without impacting anything. Absorption should be roughly proportional to total mass/volume. Even if it didn't penetrate then some cells/rocks/dirt would shade others from the danger and the average radiation would still be based on mass/volume. I mean it's not like treating a human body as individual cells, increasing surface area a millionfold, would change the dose.
Exactly the same game as '2048' :/

Totally agree, I never get it right first time around.
I'm frightened by this. Unity is the biggest push for C# other than Microsoft though. Hopefully Unity would never sell because once it is owned by a single platform, that will get preference and the whole multi-platform jig is up. That would further fragment because other platforms wouldn't trust Microsoft. Unless of course they sell off Xbox like Elop wanted to do. However Unity strongly relies on Mono which will now be run by Microsoft if this goes through. Either happening will cause some customer rage.
Which is nothing to me - it has no direct user-benefit at all. And I'm paying the cost. So its really easy to be annoyed.
Very nice program.

'far ahead - in terms of backwards compatibility'

something poetic about that...
It's boggled my mind why Microsoft hasn't tried to buy Xamarin sooner to do something like this. If they give the tools away for free and provide good documentation, samples, and support they could attract a lot of developers. Hell, they could even give some sort of financial incentive to attract developers too. It's annoying enough to have to develop for iOS and Android, if you could do both at the same time with less effort AND get Windows phone support... well that's just a huge win win all around.
Clever, in that it offends/ticks off record numbers of potential customers? I'm not impressed.

> Well, I don't know if "sexism" has an "objective" definition, but yes, words are usually best defined by experts on the subjects. Just as gravity is best defined by physicists, sexism is best defined by feminists, who have studied sexism for the past few decades.

Feminism is an ideology, not a field of study (well, one can study "feminism" in that you can study what feminists believe and do, but that's not the subject here.)
I don't disagree with your wider point that their are other useful motivators out there but it's worth noting that the space race was militarily motivated. Sputnik flying overhead effectively showed the soviets had/would have the ability to drop bombs anywhere in the world. Even the space shuttle was influenced in design by militaristic influence.
not sure regarding the security of the "alternative captchas" listed here.

but that aside, I have the same problem you have, can't solve them :S which is retarded, because they are meant to tell humans and robots apart, but apparently "everyone is a robot" is good enough.

I agree with all of what you and Patrick said. Still most likely the student on OPT is in a much better position to start a startup than most people on H1b. Once you are hired by some company on H1b, you want to start your own startup? You need to prove your startup is viable (some funding constraint + providing prevailing wage for yourself I remember). But how you can have a viable startup that has not even been started? That kind of chicken-and-egg problem stuck tons of aspiring entrepreneurs on H1b.

Will really appreciate anyone here that can give some solution under current circumstances.
You're going to have to solve one of those anyway. Why not put it to good use? This isn't part of some evil master-plan Google's come up with. It was originally a project at CMU, and is now used to power what is probably the only neural network that can match whole house numbers (ie. without segmentation.) How is that bad for anyone? Personally, I really love Google's symbiotic model for data collection eg. Recaptcha/Google Maps, Ingress/Google Maps, etc.
I can confirm that my reCAPTCHAs are a LOT easier today than they were a year ago. Usually I get pics of numbers from Street View or something like that.

Wait a minute.. are you suggesting that he got better as a designer throughout his career? I thought that was a trait unique only to us hackers.

It has a direct benefit to users who are readers (since it reduces the spam they are subject to) and users who are contributors of things they want read (since it reduces the spam that their contributions would otherwise be buried in).

First, the Beacon-generated numbers cannot be predicted before they are published. Second, the public, time-bound, and authenticated nature of the Beacon allows a user application to prove to anybody that it used truly random numbers not known before a certain point in time. Third, this proof can be presented offline and at any point in the future.
Really? Re-reading it with that in mind, I think you're right... I guess my brain presumed that was such an irrational conclusion to draw about me after reading what I wrote that it didn't register at all, I honestly thought I was just not understanding what the poster was trying to say.

That's exactly what Bundler is, and what cargo will be too.
Moving random objects to the right will let through about 10% of bots. Useless.
I think you're right. What makes the original so difficult is that if you're not careful, you can easily end up in a situation where the only move you're allowed is potentially disastrous. With 6 possible moves, that's significantly less likely.

I just won on my first shot.
Well, the really smart ones know not to play.
Except, its not really bye reCAPTCHA, but bye to the site that used it.
> No. But if she quits because she felt the environment was sexist, then yes.

What if she feels she's Jesus... is she therefore Jesus? She also felt a bunch of guys watching some girls hula-hooping was sexist... and that the word "meritocracy" on a rug was sexist... so perhaps you should ask yourself whether her feelings are such an accurate guide to reality before berating the HN community for their supposed chauvinism.
Simply randomly rotating the objects will let through a fair number of naive bots.
I was pretty sure this would happen once Xamarin spun out of what was left of Novell. Open source .NET proved that C# is a great language outside of Windows and it wouldn't take much money for Microsoft to acquire it. Throwing Microsoft's considerable resources at Xamarin would allow Microsoft to gain a huge foothold in cross platform development, and thus would be much more likely to have developers port their apps to Windows.

Microsoft used to embrace, extend, and extinguish their competition before they got too big and too afraid of their own shadow(and shareholders) with Windows and Office. Honestly, it makes total sense for Microsoft to acknowledge they are running a distant #3 and get as many developers behind them as they can. Make Microsoft the place where real hackers go to write code.

Buying Xamarin is embracing. As is maybe a Nokia Android phone. Microsoft needs to make their own "better" version of Android with their own services and get people hooked on that. Then make the "best" version of Android called Windows A. It's Windows, on Android. Windows A's best features would be closed source and patented. It would potentially crush Android in the mainstream.

I don't think that Microsoft has the guts to try and pull that off, but if they did, it would be a feat.
> If you wrote 3/4th of the startup's codebase and you're a female then you're not going to feel like a second class citizen. You're going to feel very much needed by the company and you're going to have the equity to show for it.

Your qualification to make this statement is that you are a woman who has written 3/4 of the company's code, right?

Or are you performing a thought experiment and feeling good about the outcome so you figure that's good enough to substitute for fact?

Women didn't buy into the stereotype of the sociopathic gynophobic male who chooses to program computers because he can't talk to people, they were excluded from the market by the stereotype being used as selection criteria. Now there are enough women who are interested enough in an IT career that they'll put up with the trolls who infest IT, and as a result we're seeing more and more of the trollish behaviour outed.

Unfortunately due to the ingrained bias against women, these new employees are generally only allowed to feed from the edge of the trough: they are corralled into the superficial roles and prevented from providing any real value to the company.

There are exceptions to this of course, some employers are less gender-biased and allow the women to participate in the meritocracy of the technical workplace. Women feel valued in these companies because they are allowed to perform to their abilities, rather than expected to conform to the fetishised stereotype.
