DDR4 is around the corner, PCIe SSDs are as well.

But the real improvement is battery life. Intel Haswell machines are lasting 10 to 16 hours now, and this number will only improve as Intel moves to 14nm and 10nm designs.

EDIT: Woops, I mean 22-hours. http://blog.gsmarena.com/toshiba-squeezes-22-hour-battery-li...

Computers aren't getting faster because no one cares about that. The majority of the design effort is now into battery life. A Dell Venue 8 Pro lasts 8+ hours on a single charge, on a tiny 20Whr battery (while being faster than the 4-year-old Macbook Pro). The 4-year-old Core2Duo Macbook Pros lasted only a couple of hours on behemoth 60Whr batteries.

Battery efficiency will matter when it comes down to lightness and style. Better battery efficiency will lead to thinner, sleeker, lighter designs. Generally speaking, the "progress" of modern computers is battery efficiency, leading to smaller batteries, leading to lighter and smaller computers.

I think the difference might be this, in undergraduate degrees:

* Mathematics is entirely about proving arguments and solving problems within logical systems.
* The 'hard sciences' (esp. physics) are about working within a theoretical (often mathematical) framework and testing it with experimentation.

Contrast this to engineering disciplines, or even medicine, where the focus is on gaining knowledge which you can use to solve problems. It's problem-solving, but doesn't have much of the scientific method about it.

These days you can get a degree and still have just as hard of a road. Some (possibly most) degrees are not valued as a badge of general competence any longer IMO.
What technique is being described here? : "I decided that the map would contain as much game data as possible... I could tweak the placement of things using photoshop rather than having to hunt down data in a text editor."

Surfly (http://www.surfly.com) - Amsterdam, the Netherlands - Full-Time [Will relocate/Arrange work permit]

We are looking for a Senior Software Developer for full-time employment. You will be part of the core team helping to build and architect the backend of our main product.

Surfly provides the easiest way to share a web page or a document on the web. Unlike traditional screen sharing it requires no installation or browser plugins and is limited to a web page rather than the whole screen. By using a smart content-rewriting proxy we allow any website to be shared, without website owners having to change them in any way.

Except that the US isn't in a steep decline. The US doesn't start invasions and pretends it's someone else's military. The US doesn't cancel leases for pro-Snowden news outlets. The US doesn't send protesters against election-fraud away for 5 years. The US doesn't introduce laws making it illegal to support gays in public. The US doesn't forcefully remove protesters against a potential war at first sight; even if they're just raising white protest flags.

The dynamics might be similar, if not universal, but the order of magnitude is truly different.

Sorry I had trouble parsing that. Do you mean that you think 90% would not use the feature, or do you think that the feature would be used by less than 90% (and is thus not worth being part of the default).

You have that backwards! NATs are tasked to facilitate communications (same as routers).

Yes, firewalls can be configured to restrict communications. And you can have a combined NAT+firewall that is so configured.

Just likes routers vs firewalls. Routers forward packets as well as they know how, firewalls selectively drop them, router-FW combos can configured either way.

Reliance on restrictive centralized firewalls is a pretty 1990s mindset, and doesn't lead to good security outcomes in the current world where users constantly suffle devices between networks, and vpn in to your network, etc. You just end up making your internal network unusable for production work.
Ask HN: Marketer? Seeking Marketer? (April 2014)
Tired of building potentially viable, potentially revenue-generating hackathon projects only to abandon them because of other priorities?

I am!

I have a couple of projects I'd like to hand off a skilled marketer so that I can watch my projects turn into something real without putting in the time that normally requires.

So let's see if we can start a new tradition where all HN's "non-technical co-founders" in waiting can get a chance to prove themselves and make some scratch.

If you've got a project you need a marketer for, post a description here. If you're a marketer looking for a project, post a brief summary of your qualifications and what type of project you'd be interested in.

I'll start.

Seeking marketer for:

1. Turning my hackathon project ExtraExtra into a business. ExtraExtra does split testing for blog headlines, tweets, status updates, or any other short piece of text. System already is built and working. Just needs someone to launch and promote it.

2. My podcast series (the A* interviews) where I interview some of the world's best programmers to find what makes them tick and what everyone else can learn from them. Needs someone more channels to reach potential listeners.

Note: Not an April fools joke.
That's what elite marketers have been telling us for years. The problem is many people are attracted to bells and whistles that is without substance. In the end it's all about the content of the message; the messenger would soon be forgotten (or be a lot less relevant, at least).
Hm. Proposing reasonable alternatives is speaking up. Suggesting changes to the process opens ears to the problem.
Complaining is whining, unproductive and corrosive to discussion.

I call BS on the attitude that complaining is really a public service, that its done with the highest motives. Its done to vent, to gain sympathy, to feel better. Not to help.
What is your time really worth to you?
This is obviously not a topic that can have a conclusive resolution. There are too many factors at play here. I believe the preponderance of evidence is in favor of starting a business in the USA, specifically in one of the major innovation hubs.

I don't who is wrong or right here (Coinbase saying there was no breach or alledged hackers via pastebin), but isn't having fake security breaches for large bitcoin sites a good opportunity to manipulate the rates? If one wanted to bring the rate down it might be possible to do this with creating a good fake security breach of a large site.

Well, I thought it was funny.
http://nextdraft.com/ is a pretty awesome source of news delivered by email. A good smattering of non tech articles to augment my hn binging.
For some reason this is doing the rounds. Several publications, and thus several submissions, but they all have different titles so it's impossible to track them all down. Here's just one:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7507383

There are others, but I'm trying to give up this cross-referencing lark. I've been beaten by the duplicists.
I'm not familiar with online deaf communities, but blogs and forums would probably be a good start.
Also, allowing people to use accounts from recyclable email services such as "mailinator" is another design flaw. There are bunch of projects that maintain a list of those as far as I recall.
I guess what I'm really missing is what is the killer app that will make VR deliver on that promise (if it's not games). I understand that it's a unique experience, but the mainstream will love it for what it lets them do, not for what it is. I can't realistically see some sort of next-gen Second Life hitting mainstream any time soon. I can't see it being used for work. So what's left? Movies? Interactive experiences? Games? None of these have much to do with Facebook.

It's a cool display tech, it's not an experience in itself - that comes from the software. To me it feels the same as if Microsoft invested billions to buy a CRT monitor company back in the day - why would they?

Edit: it is, of course, possible that I'm completely wrong on one or more of the above assumptions. That's why this is such an interesting discussion.
This is why I don't like April F. Everything has to be rechecked/researched x times. The 60 minutes article is definitely not AF and I doubt my link is also.
It more seems that the seriousness of the conflict depends on whether you see this as an isolated incident (which just happens to be the worst violation of territorial integrity in Europe since WWII) or as yet another indicator that the exact same social dynamics that led us to WWII in the first place are intensifying significantly.

I'm curious as to what your take on this is then though ...
> It's an order of magnitude slower than your cell phone.

Really? I'd like to see some evidence of that. I'd assumed they were roughly the same ballpark.
Maybe in the US they don't, but in Canada you can. I'm quite sure in most of Europe & Australia you can as well.
My email was not published anywhere with regards to bitcoin or coinbase, I receive relatively little spam, yet I received 4 of these spam messages. Smells fishy.
A bit. I always worked at startups / business development. I love programming and I'm very good at it. I can smell hype.

One of the things that turns me off, though, is the framework de jour scene but the converse is dull plodding.

My degree is a BSc in Supply Chain Management after doing an HNC (part time) in Manufacturing Engineering financing it all working as a Cad draughtsperson for 3 years.

The BSc is about 20% IT based and there's plenty of scope for modeling and statistical analysis so hopefully a perfect blend of skills.

I tried deleting my name from the user settings page. No problem. This "bug" is literally about people being upset that information they opted-in to share was shared.
Not to mention Arduino seems to have shown commitment to their pinout configuration. I seriously doubt later iterations of this board will retain compatibility.
By "people like you" I mean people like you who go to social bookmarking sites, don't bother to properly read the article, state the (in this case: scientifically) obvious, mix in some ignorance about the topic at hand and then lean back thinking they had contributed anything insightful. In short, by "people like you" I mean the peanut gallery.
1Password and KeyPass don't even do "one factor authentication". This is because you are not authenticating to any service as all. Your Master Passwords for these are "encryption" passwords not "authentication passwords".

Authentication is about proving your identity to a system that has the power to grant you access to something. They can have you go through multiple steps. But with 1Password and KeyPass, you already have full access to your data (it is on your disk). Your password is used not to prove your identity, but instead it is used to derive a key which can decrypt the data that you already have access to.

Services that you need to authenticate against face different sorts of threats than those which are based solely on encryption. An authentication system protecting high value data simultaneously make multi factor authentication possible and necessary. For encryption based systems, MFA literally makes no sense.
I'll be transparent and say: I think it's crazy you expect developers to take a 45 day risk/trial period, in order to work at the company.

I'm an experienced dev (3+ years of wholesome experience + a solid work portfolio) and I could even deal with the rather significant pay cut I'd be taking... but a pay cut + risking not having employment, when I'm already settled in a current job?

No thanks.

But good luck.

Well they can't mention it if they have it, but they can mention if they don't. So this would be the only way Coinbase could communicate that they are under a gag order, barring a prior warrant canary. So it's probably prudent to act as if they have acknowledged the gag order until they deny it. Although it'd be really dumb if anyone was assuming the records were private.

I guess they could say "We have implemented a warrant canary at <url>" then 404, but perhaps their legal team wisely denied that one.

I agree with you; tech hubs are extremely important, which is where Europe seems to be lagging behind.

I just think the reason they ARE lagging behind is because US is considered the default country to go for starting a business, without second thought.
