The person most individually responsible for Mozilla's culture would be Mitchell, not whoever happens to be CEO of the Mozilla Corporation right this second.

For example at various organization-wide events (all-hands, summits) Mitchell is the one giving the "where are we going and what are the goals?" talk. She's also the one to whom non-technical project governance issues ultimately escalate.

The fact that there is a complicated interaction here between the corporate structure and the project structure is a bit confusing; it's not a common setup. But in practice the CEO doesn't have much impact on the culture of the project, from what I've seen.

Notice that there are many more males than females in the USA for in the age bracket when relationships form. The ratio is 1.07 (.73/.68 = 1.07) for 19 year olds. It's incredibly high and I wonder why that is?

Think about the implication: No matter what those 107 guys do there will be only enough girlfriends/wives/lovers for 100 hundred of them. The ratio reverses only after age 45.

This might explain the extraordinary effort by men to meet women in the U.S. as compared to some other countries and earlier times in U.S. history. The dating sites, the PUA courses, and even Zuckerberg's original motive for Facebook. The competition is super intense because it's a zero sum game. For 7% of men it's futile. (I'm simplifying by ignoring 19 year olds with 45 year old girlfriends, gays relationships, and many other factors.)

Most people know that women outnumber men overall, but are unaware that the statistics for young people are reversed.
I'm fascinated by the dotted countdown clock at the bottom of the page. It took me a while to figure out exactly what it was, and I got lost in Wikipedia reading about how braille is represented in unicode, thinking it had something to do with that.

My guess is that the first set in dark blue is days remaining, followed by hours in purple, minutes in green, and seconds in light blue. Haven't quite wrapped my head around which dot represents what value, but it sure does look cool.
That's a huge stretch. For starters, we know that the brain is extraordinarily good at inventing detail to fill in gaps. A lot of what you think are memories are pure fiction propped up by sufficient real information to pass.

There are many much more likely scenarios to rule out long before there's any reason to consider those ideas, and in most cases there is no reliable way of ruling them out, because there's been insufficient controls in place (unsurprisingly, given that it's not why they are there) - just like a cold reader can extract vast amounts of information from people without them realising, so can normal people with a fascinating story that gets people involved. Anyone that have talked to anyone present in the operating theatre afterwards, for example, can not be considered a reliable source, because lots of information might have been filled in (and such information can easily get recalled as memories by the patient later, without any intent to deceive).

I have created a (work-in-progress) Vim plugin [1], that uses Vim's conceal feature to visually map the relevant ASCII characters to printable characters.

It sort of works, but there are known issues which I have listed in the README.

Klout couldn't make money doing their score thing. Their investors told them to focus on b2c after instagram sold big. It didn't work. Lithium is quite successful in enterprise forum and support software, which is a broader market than you'd think. Enterprise companies interested in social are really into 'trending' stuff and 'brand affinity' of their audience across all channels. Lithium will book 200mm in additional revenue from Klout's tech in the next 5 years, because each of their deals are like 6 figures per year.
Someone brought up that Bitalo isn't really an exchange, but an OTC marketplace, and that fraud is possible. A fraudster in the US can reverse the bank payment in a Bitalo transaction up to 6 months after the BTC has been released from escrow: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7432635

You should probably specify that Bitalo is perfect for non-US customers.

Lets put some math on the network costs. An oft quoted cost is $1/mb at p95 for decent transit. 1 mbs * 2,592,000 seconds = 2,592,000 mb per month, / (8 * 1024 gigabytes) = 316GB transferred per month. Dividing our $1 / 316GB = $0.0031 per GB transferred _at a constant 1mbs_.

However most networks have sine wave pattern diurnal utilization. A common peak to average ration would be 3:1. Our $0.0031 is effectively the rate for an average of 1mbs. To get that average rate we'll be paying about 3x, or $0.0093 per GB transferred. So we're paying $0.01 per GB for the transit alone. This is also in a major metro area in North America. Transit costs can easily be 3-10x in EU or 10-20x in AP.

On top of that there's capex and opex for that 10gb port. Assuming you've got some decent scale you're going to get 96 10gb ports in a $300,000 to $500,000 router, or $3-5,000 per 10gb port. You need ports both north and south, so you get 480gbs throughput per chassis. But you can't run above 80% util, so call it 384gbs of peak throughput. Opex for rack position, data techs, power, etc will cost $2,000 to $5,000 per month. Amortized over 36 months let's call it $10,000 to $17,000 per month all up.

That 384gbs peak throughput is actually more like 128gbs averaged over the month. At 128gb/s average we transfer about 41,472,000 GB per month, or $0.00024 to $0.00041 per GB. Now double that cost 'cause routers actually come in pairs for fault tolerance. So we're paying $0.0005 to $0.0008 per GB of transit connectivity.

And how many hops are there back to your application? I'd hazard around 6 by the time you go transit -> edge -> border -> core -> dc -> agg -> tor. Paying for that internal network infrastructure is going to add $0.0030 to $0.0050 to our bill. All up that gets us to $0.0128 to $0.0151 per GB transferred from our host to a third party network.

Expanding the error bars lets round to $0.01 to $0.02 of network costs per GB that we deliver. To get these prices you're going to have a capital budget of tens of millions per year. OpEx would be at least $500K, or more likely a million plus, per month. If you can actually beat my pricing I'm hiring and or would like to subscribe to your news letter.

Apologies if I missed something in the math. I had to do some mental acrobatics to go from dollars per gb/s to dollars per GB/month.

That is an interesting philosophical question, but it's mostly semantic. I would say that it's the "same person" just as much as you remain the same person as the cells and atoms making up your body are still you as they move through time.
It has functionality where you set up a food plan. You tell it your target weight, current weight, and pick the difficulty. Based on that, it tells you when you should reach your target and how many calories in deficit you need to be each day. You log what you eat and the caloric cost of that food, and it helps you see whether or not you are meeting your target.

Don't get me wrong, there are some downsides. The app can be a bit clunky and buggy on occasion. Some parts of it could be significantly improved. It also requires some dedication to your goals. There have been times where I accidentally ate a bit too much that day and have to go for a walk at 10pm at night.

The main benefit of it overall in my opinion is that it takes (most of) the guesswork out of getting to & maintaining your desired weight.
Given the contact email address is so important, perhaps SendGrid should have a way of confirming it before they allow it to be changed?

I've been working on an idea similar to this for a few months. Instead of limiting this to crypto currency mining (a fair application, FWIW), why not approach this with the idea that people plugging in their phones every night could easily constitute the largest distributed supercomputer ever built? Everyone has the same nightly ritual: Wake up, use phone/tablet/device, plug in at night. Once it's plugged in, your phone charges to 100% after a few hours, and then essentially sits there for x hours effectively doing nothing (that's a little sensationalist, but it highlights my point). Folding@Home, et al have done this before, but the silver bullet here is that no one turns off their phone when it charges at night - perhaps to maintain the off chance they receive a random 4 AM phone call.

Now if you can combine this with an SDK (say... something Javascript based) that makes it easy to write/deploy compute jobs/"apps", you have a real distributed computing platform. You can also maintain security by using a similar proof-of-work scheme that bitcoin uses to prevent fraudulent mining.

The real challenge here is incentivizing people to run your app. Here's my sign up form for an early private beta for anyone who is interested.

> the same reason experienced programmers fail at learning Vim, the initial learning curve is very steep, and they don't see the value on climbing that wall.

This is definitely me. I only got really into Linux with Debian-like systems after Nano became those distributions' standard editor. I know the bare minimum about vim for occasional, minimal editing of configuration files. I only ever use it when I'm stuck with a rescue prompt or some third-rate distro that has nothing else. Usually one of my first goals is to get either a GUI, or file transfer capability, or a package manager up and running; then I stop using it.

The large stylesheets have nothing to do with the SEO bits.

They have to do with having a site with a wide variety of different-looking pages and wanting to have a single site-wide stylesheet, instead of having dozens or hundreds of smaller stylesheets. Whether that's a useful thing to do or not obviously depends on how your maintenance for the site is set up, how your CDN works, and probably other things I have no idea about; design of this sort of site is not my area of expertise.

And while I agree that all of these sites have a lot of complicated styles and scripts going on, I have a hard time believing that a site of the sort I just described can be created without ending up with a fairly complicated stylesheet.

If your position is that having such a site (variety of different kinds of pages) should be a non-goal, I can't agree with that: there are plenty of reasons to want a site like that. If the argument is that having a single stylesheet to rule them all in that situation is bad for maintainability, I don't have a good response: as I said I've never maintained such a site, so I don't have a good feel for what the maintenance tradeoffs are.

Fully agreed on the taxes. ;)

You seem to mean "negligible", which is a different meaning than "irrelevant"; the point that was being made is that even if it were a "negligible" amount, the crime is not "victimless", hence the amount of the theft is "irrelevant": the point you seem to be making is that it might be a non-"negligible" amount, which is probably true, but at this point in the thread unrelated, and in fact according to the post you are responding to, "irrelevant" ;P.
It's the disdain for the user. Take their data, use their CPUs, whatever. Users are dumb, they won't notice, and hey, the app's free anyway.

As it gets more educated and gains a higher level of living standard, the muslim population will slow its birth rate. A high birth rate is primarily visible in countries where you HAVE to have kids to survive when you get old.

>There's nothing in this article or the one you linked to that suggests consciousness is anything but the product of biochemical activity in the brain.

First, both the article and I mentioned "neuronal activity" not "biochemical activity". Second, did you even read the article? Money quote from Dr. Parnia:

"All I can say is what I have observed from my work. It seems that when consciousness shuts down in death, psyche, or soul – by which I don't mean ghosts, I mean your individual self – persists for a least those hours before you are resuscitated. From which we might justifiably begin to conclude that the brain is acting as an intermediary to manifest your idea of soul or self but it may not be the source or originator of it… I think that the evidence is beginning to suggest that we should keep open our minds to the possibility that memory, while obviously a scientific entity of some kind – I'm not saying it is magic or anything like that – is not neuronal.""

>I'm sincerely curious how you think that's the case.

Did I even say I did? I said "if..." and "would strongly suggest". First a conditional and then a qualifier. I personally have no strong opinion on the matter. Clearly you do.

> Making an action undoable often more than doubles the development cost of that feature.

Every time I've added the feature, it's bordered on trivial (start a timer to execute the actual delete request, show a link to cancel the request, hide the DOM element).

I suppose if you were doing all the work server-side, then yah, it would be difficult. But the way GOOG does it (IIRC) it's not that hard at all.
Tokyo achieves more density than San Francisco because the average street width is about 14 feet. San Francisco's is about 90 feet. That creates a lot more buildable land per block and less traffic.

The average building height is also about 3 stories instead of just over two in SF. The majority of housing is single family houses and owner occupied. And Toyko has much, much less parking.

The result is a comfortable, walkable city at double the density of SF without high-rises and with less traffic.

The key difference is that SF is planned, laid out, regulated, permitted, and platted very badly and Tokyo is planned well.

Also, the peninsula cities are required by law to sprawl at low density, constricting SF's ability to spread medium-density growth that would keep housing affordable. Any upzoning, even around transit stops, is blocked and housing supply remains severely limited.
But you can still mark the buttons with colors so your users will make less mistakes. I think that the two issues are orthogonal.
Not my argument. If theoretical Klout existed, it'd take into account all signals (social, search, semantic analysis, weights based on expertise, etc.) to determine the "best" at something--a super pagerank for people search if you will. This should negate individual bias.
Scala can safely assumed to collapse under its own weight. Growing a language by gluing on arbitrary features is not a very smart move.

The longest 2x2 game possible seems to be 46 [1].
I can't find the source for the number given by tromp either. But considering that log_2(386,356,909,593) = ~ 38 and log_3(386,356,909,593) = ~24. If the board can have a branching factor of 2.5 on average for a game length of 30 moves, the number seems reasonable. There are 81 possible states (counting illegal states), and seems to be about 50 legal states. And I'd imagine any given state on a 2x2 board would easily have more than 2 possible moves :-).

Scala tooling has improved hugely, just look at the Scala IDE and the IntelliJ Scala plugin now vs. 2 years ago.

The only area where I have ongoing issues with my IDE (Scala IDE) is with the play template plugin, can really wreak havoc in both template and controller layers with spurious errors that break mouse-hover type inference click-through-to-type functionality. Even here there's been a ton of improvement, 2 years ago in the template layer there was no semantic highlighting, no indication of _valid_ errors, and stack trace error lines pointed to lines in the generated template, not the .scala.html source file, fun times o_O

Recently switched to XML literals in place of Play's @ templates, not surprisingly the above issue has disappeared, and am now left with a fully functional IDE, code completion, refactoring, and the all the rest, pretty thrilled about the IDE story in Scala to be honest.
Haven't used it myself but lots of people I respect like it. Still not "there" yet for what we're discussing but it's a low-friction proxy.

Ask HN: Does your government provide digital public services?
Many governmental administration agencies have started to think about or to implement digital services for their citizens: Voting in regional elections, registering companies, delivering tax information.

How does your local administration use technology to improve its services?

I think this is a field underrepresented on HN, but with quite significant effects, e.g. for entrepreneurs that have to deal with bureaucracy.
I think both you and the other commenter are assuming I was referring to something religious. I most assuredly was not, nor is Dr. Parnia.

Read the article. The quote from Dr. Parnia that sums up his thoughts:

"All I can say is what I have observed from my work. It seems that when consciousness shuts down in death, psyche, or soul – by which I don't mean ghosts, I mean your individual self – persists for a least those hours before you are resuscitated. From which we might justifiably begin to conclude that the brain is acting as an intermediary to manifest your idea of soul or self but it may not be the source or originator of it… I think that the evidence is beginning to suggest that we should keep open our minds to the possibility that memory, while obviously a scientific entity of some kind – I'm not saying it is magic or anything like that – is not neuronal."

Really, this should be obvious. If a human being emerges alive on the other end of a two-hour period with no neuronal activity, then is simple neuronal activity really what comprises a human's selfhood? I'm not saying it's magic or religion, but at the very least it's interesting to think about.
