"An audit may be conducted by mail or through an in-person interview and review of the taxpayer's records."

"You will be provided with a written request for specific documents needed."

"An IRS audit is a review/examination of an organization's or individual's accounts and financial information to ensure information is being reported correctly, according to the tax laws, to verify the amount of tax reported is accurate."

Consquently by my interpretation (and actual experience over many years) your last sentence is not correct.
The client side tools have been in purgatory for years, as things were in stasis when MS screwed up the XP to Longhorn or whatever they were calling the next generation client then.

The server side is a totally different story. Windows Server, system center, sql, etc have been going gangbusters for years.
"Music which is reminiscent of a game console from the late 80s until the early 90s, where the sound was produced by dedicated 8-bit sound chips, working alongside 8-bit primary CPU and using 8-bit DAC for conversion to analog output."

Is this better?

Or how about just "8-bit music".
Now this is a pretty cool April Fools thing.
The controlled for them in the standard way, by adding them into the (Cox) regression. The full list of controls is:

"Other variables included in the analysis were age (35–44 years, 45–54 years, 55–64 years, 65–74 years and 75+ years), sex, smoking status (current smoker, ex-regular smoker, never smoked regularly) and social class of the head of household (manual, non-manual, other). Education (degree or equivalent qualification, other, no qualification), measured body mass index (BMI) (<20 kg/m2, 20–24.9 kg/m2, 25–29.9 kg/m2, ≥30 kg/m2), physical activity (as maximum activity intensity level in the past 4 weeks: inactive, light activity, moderate activity, vigorous activity) and alcohol consumption on heaviest drinking day in the previous week (non-drinker, drank within limits, drank above limits, drank more than twice the recommended daily limit) were also added to the models as indicated."

The most obvious thing missing from this list to me is all other dietary related variables. For example, people who like the taste of plants are probably far less likely to enjoy eating red meat, salty foods, and many other things that have been associated with increased mortality.
If crypto ever wants to win over fiat among the "masses", then yes, it clearly is. Because most people don't care about scary-sounding fluff pieces about the "Fed's fractional reserve ponzi" etc.
Please don't make personally aggressive remarks like "Were you born yesterday?" on Hacker News. It only adds negativity, not information. That breaks our two most important principles: optimizing for signal/noise ratio, and being civil.

If it is, it's incredibly well played by Greg Stein. He's riffing off the oft-lambasted git/svn politics, private lists, etc. bureaucracy of Apache, which, to me, made the ticket seem really believable.

It doesn't. For me, it works only if you have an OpenGL game and use a few of the native API.

If you're building a UIKit app, it doesn't work at all: broken support for almost everything.

To be fair, I think they are rewriting the UI layer, but after working almost two years in several cross-platform projects, I decided that for anything that's not a game (no custom UI), it makes no sense if you want your app to look "good" in all platforms. Just rewrite it (at least the UI layer).

I don't think it's a "conspiracy theory" in the traditional sense (although I do admit that my post was slanted a bit that way). I'm fairly certain it is as Crito said, "unplanned [and] unorchestrated". And there's no need for conspiracy: simple human nature in the aspects of politics and pettiness can easily explain it - it doesn't matter if you can prove what is more productive or cost effective, management ("owners" or their representatives) will continually push for more leverage and control over their workers, until they experience pushback, profits be damned.
I'm Canadian, but I always thought I was knowledgeable about American universities.

I'd never heard of Harvey Mudd college, and here it is competing with the two giants of US engineering, MIT and Caltech.

The take away from this seems to be that you shouldn't assume your interviewer knows that your degree is from a "name" school, or that the school you went to will influence any one in a positive way.

I remember someone here mentioned that they went to University of Texas Austin and that they thought that should ensure them of getting an interview anywhere and I wasn't sure if they were joking or being serious as I'd never heard of UoT Austin before as being a good computer science school.

Yeah not sure either, good question.

There is also QUIC protocol also by Google, which is yet another crack at solving the problem. Wonder if those 2 groups sat down and discussed merging or re-using code.

I'm a University drop out, 20 years of it. It has always been in my mind that I don't have a degree. It has closed doors to me, made me feel inferior in conversation and with the job market getting harder has shut off the job supply and I've got 20 years professional programming experience. The ad says Graduate Degree, that's that, no interesting job for you.

I tried to go back to Uni but it was: you dropped out, so no loan for you, you have to pay for the first year yourself (we didn't even have loans the first time round).

I have finally done it, this September I start at University once more.
Honest question as I can't claim to know anything about the actual mechanics of startup investing.

Why don't the folks who put money into Clinkle just ask for it back, sell, pivot or kill the thing off?

Based on what I've seen referenced on HN, it's an incredibly dysfunctional mess [0], that can't retain anyone [1][2].

I understand how public sector agencies or entrenched behemoths manage to shamble on as zombies, but the popular notion is that startups produce, grow or die.

Bringing in money initially [3] is somewhat understandable, but that such a clown show continues to exist is just baffling.

My mail is hosted on servers running Postfix that I control, so this won't work for everybody.

In main.cf:

virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/db/virtual_aliases

This file is in the same standard aliases(5) file format:

zzz-foo@example.com my@real-account.com

I started doing this when I moved all of my mail off of Google. It has the advantage (over you+foo@gmail.com) that it doesn't reveal my real mailbox. It does very quickly reveal who shares/sells my e-mail address, though. When that happens, it's simply a matter of deleting the alias from the file.
In general spammers deal with those things pretty quickly. They can just quickly add a regex to remove everything starting with the "+" and then you don't have any unique identifier any more.

It's a percent of a percent.

So if you have a 0.004% chance of dying on any given day, and you increase this by 100%, then you have a 0.008% chance of dying. Not a 100.004% chance.
Experience isn't just with your profession. May sound odd but I have learnt a lot that has changed the way I am with code and business from completely un-related happenings.

I might suggest, that you will be fine, whatever path you pick, it's mostly about making the most out of the path you chose, college or not.

I have worked in London, Berlin, Oxford, which is enough for me now, I get offered to work all over europe, at what I consider to be crazy prices, it's pretty nice, but I have opted to do my own thing with people that need help and support in my hometown as I found myself back here for some random reason... anyway. Keep asking people, keep thinking about it, pick something, and enjoy it. Life can go on for a while if you are careful, and your priorities can change over the years, keep it flexible!

The problem is that people have been saying that fruits and vegetables are good for you for a long time, so conscientious who exercise and go to the doctors and take the medicines they're prescribed will also disproportionately eat more fruits and vegetables. With health, the conventional wisdom is the hardest thing to test and is where you really need controlled trials, or at least natural experiments where people eat more or less vegetables for extrinsic reasons.
I'd argue this is more a symptom of how fast things change, than how well we are able to concentrate or our ability to focus.

> The title and the abstract are poorly written and the GP is deriding it which his perfectly appropriate.

Without criticizing it for not including more information (which, again, is not the point), what is poorly written about the title? I wouldn't say it's a work of art, but it seems serviceable to me. It's not deceptive, offensive or so vague you don't know what to expect.

> Not only that, after reading it, it appears that the science is bollocks too.

There are certainly valid and substantial criticisms you could make along those lines. That is one of the many reasons I feel like deliberately misinterpreting the title and criticizing that incorrect interpretation is a poor use of time and space.

I think you believe I'm supporting the article as a piece of great science. I'm not. I'm saying that nit-picking titles does not constitute meaningful criticism and doesn't increase our collective understanding of the article one iota. I feel like every science article includes some "Well, actually…" comment about the title that doesn't actually make anything more clear. I'd rather see more people tearing articles apart and fewer sarcastic comments about titles.
San Francisco - InstaEDU

We're a 21-person education startup in downtown San Francisco looking to add to our engineering team.

InstaEDU is a marketplace for online tutoring. As more education moves online and video and collaboration technologies reach a point where they can properly replace in-person learning, we see an enormous opportunity to reach a much wider category of students. We’ve been growing quickly and announced our series A last August (http://techcrunch.com/2013/08/14/instaedu-series-a-battery-v...).

As we transition from beta to a global web application, we're excited to add new team members to our 10-person eng team. We're looking for engineers with strong python programming skills, proficiency with javascript, HTML, CSS, and experience working with Django, SQL/PostgreSQL, JQuery and/or Redis/NoSQL.

Along with full-stack engineers, we would be more than excited to speak to anyone with strong experience in mobile, dev ops, and data engineering.

http://instaedu.com/about/jobs/#SoftwareEngineers

Benefits of working at InstaEDU include:
close-knit team all passionate about the product we're creating, weekly catered lunches and fully stocked kitchen, 401K, Medical, dental, and vision insurance, weekly Friday happy hour and monthly team events (Wine tasting trips, Giants games, Night tour of Alcatraz...)

Feel free to ping me at kate (at) instaedu (dot) com if you have any questions. To apply, send your resume, GitHub profile, blog, and/or any projects that you're proud of to jobs@instaedu.com. If you're awesome, we want to hear from you!

Just sayin'. With angular.js you have absolutely no need to include jQuery as well. Therefore, the tagline will probably hold up until jQuery gets overtaken by Angular.
Lets not pretend this is a universal moral. Their opinion on what marriage should be is morally wrong according to you.

I keep my savings in cash under my mattress. Sure, banks are more secure, but they have annoying hours and having the money easily accessible is much more convenient.

Besides, I trust my mattress. It's a nice mattress made by a great VC backed mattress company. It's not like I'm putting my money under some mattress that I bought on craigslist.
Hey everyone, I really appreciate all of the positive feedback. This is quite thrilling as a college student. It's the first thing I've made that people actually understand and consider useful.

If any of you download Deafalarm, please let me know how it works for you and what you would like to see improved.

I could also use pointers on getting the word out to people in this niche market.

Thank you very much,

I was aware of programmers.stackexchange but wasn't sure of the difference until now. Instead of closing questions on Stack Overflow with messages such as "This question exists because it has historical significance, but it is not considered a good, on-topic question for this site", it would be a lot more helpful to point people to a better home for such questions, such as programmers.stackexchange.
Here is the link to the actual article: http://www.objc.io/issue-11/android_101_for_ios_developers.h...
This seems like a difficult business to execute on.

1) You need capital to buy the machines to give out and slowly collect $60 on. Once the capital runs out, more is needed, but without getting capital quick enough, new customers have to be turned down, growth slows, and capital becomes even more difficult to acquire.

2) Since the tech and product can be easily purchased by anyone, there is room for other businesses to enter the space quickly and drive a pricing war. If large chains got involved they could offer a lower price and push local same day service.

3) Machines break. Without a hassle-free return / warranty, customers will likely get frustrated, refuse to pay, and make collections very difficult.

Not to say it can't be done, the leasing industry is fairly large, but I'd thought I'd share my thoughts on the problems that might arise. Reminds me of when they did PCs for 19.95 a month plus internet for a contract term.

objc.io is an online magazine. At the top you are seeing the latest issue, which is #11. The links immediately below that are the articles in this issue.

Once you go below the most recent issue, you are seeing the past issues, which is why they are in reverse order - most recent to oldest.
Comment first: project the document instead of documenting the project.
In other words, write the comments first, then write the code,
then review and tidy up both the code and comments.

By writing the text first, you clarify the why before you write the how.
You also capture the high-level view before you get down to the gnarly
details, after which the high-level view can become a vague ghost of
a memory.

Once that high-level view is left behind, many people become so immersed
in the coding details that "introductory" material written after coding
often begins with the esoteric details of the implementation of the
central algorithm, and fails to mention what the tool/packages/code/app
is for in the first place.

To put it another way, documenting is to code as foreplay is to sex.
Both code and sex can be effective without comments or foreplay, for some
values of effective, but they are more likely to be more pleasant and
repeatable over time if people put in a little time and effort before
rushing ahead to what they see as the most interesting parts.
I couldn't agree with you more. Whenever someone says, "Well you did it without a degree, why can't I?" I never discourage them, I simply stress the difficulty of their decision. Instead of credentialing with a degree, do you want to job hop for 3 years, constantly having to prove yourself time and time again just so you can move on to another company with an incrementally better salary? Do you want to be misunderstood for years at a time by strangers, friends, and family? Do you want to constantly have your opinion discounted until proven correct? These are just some of the things you'll have to deal with.

When I look at my debt-ridden peers graduating from top colleges this summer, I can't help but feel happy about my head start: no debt, enough savings to do whatever I please at this point, and an above-average pedigree. But while it may sound like a "success story" to most and I am happy now, I'll be damned if there wasn't 10 years of darkness and constant feelings of inadequacy that I had to plod through very much alone. It's been one heck of a ride, that's for sure.
The open floor plan really only works when you're really small, when it's essentially equivalent to one of those "5 man offices". But once you start to get bigger, say the 15 person range, it starts becoming unwieldy.

The Boston Fitbit office has 12 engineers now. I'll pay attention to how things progress as we grow past the 15 mark. Open plan seating seems to work well for us so far.
If anyone's interested in working in analytics/data, they should check these guys out. Awesome team, large datasets, fascinating problems.
From my cursory evaluation, the debugging support is actually better than vanilla Lua. The only point of friction I can see if that you have to "compile" something that is normally interpreted.
Unfortunately due budget constraints we can't allow unlimited access to test game servers. Do you have an estimate on how many rounds would you need to evolve the algorithm enough?
So you think the needs of the [one] outweight the needs the of the [many]? That's the foundation of your sympathy card, right? Look, accomidations are made in any environment - but doesn't mean it's going to stop the idea that open-floor space is "bad" on the whole. Mihaly is in the minority, btw. The top things that motivate employees are not individualistic, silo achievement but rather derives from group/team building and worth of cultural acceptance into an environment. He's a nut - I took one of his lectures in my graduate program :) He's more interested in happiness than achievement in the end. I don't hire people to be "happy". I hire them to achieve things and become part of my culture.
