Thanks for taking a look, and the kind words.

Here was the design criteria we were holding in mind when deciding on the technical stack to employ for Respondly. To support the "team collaboration" story we knew it was going to be a heavily JS based "native like" UI experience. So basically a rich single-page app that used push-state and web-sockets a lot.

Meteor is nice in that it folds a number of technologies into the stack that when combined are extremely powerful, not least of which being Mongo on the server AND the client, which helps a lot in reducing the amount of code you typically have to write for dealing with invalidating shared data when it changes between users. It achieves this by having the Mongo API replicated on the client in JS, which is really a thin proxy to the DB on the server. So your coding against Mongo as though it were actually in the browser, and Meteor handles the data syncing in the background. It sounds a little magical, but it shakes out to be a really helpful abstraction to sit behind.

The real kicker for us, though, is that we can lean on the hard-core architectural work MeteorDG has done to ensure a real-time, web-sockets based system of this kind can scale readily when there are ton of connected clients.

By avoiding rolling that sort of architectural plumbing ourselves we've been able to focus more on the feature set.
$6CPM (cost per thousand views) for an established niche site seems a little on the high side but not unheard of.

Edit: Math eluded me, it's $1CPM which as others have said is pretty low.
So, Apple suppressing engineer wages indirectly made the medical profession more attractive for doctors!
Well, someone has to pay the salaries of medical trainees. Who would you suggest do it?

Since the establishment of Medicare/Medicaid, CMS pays hospitals a set amount per year per resident. I suppose you could mandate that teaching hospitals be forced to foot the bill themselves, but most teaching hospitals have disproportionately high Medicaid and uninsured patient populations, so they aren't exactly swimming in cash.

Note: I'm editing my post, as you have edited yours.

Well, if you make students pay additional tuition / take loans for living expenses during residency training, then you can kiss goodbye the thought of ever fixing the doctor shortage. Think about what you're advocating here: Someone who just took out a $160k unsubsidized loan at 5.4% (variable) interest now has to increase his/her loan burden just. to. eat. for another 3-7 years while interest is accruing on that initial medical school balance. Does this seem like a sustainable system to you?

Man, I thought HN/Silicon Valley/Tech Industry was all up in arms at the unjustness of the unpaid internship...
C has atomic types now also. And I believe in general that volatile only prevents elision of reads and stores, but not optimization in general. That works for many cases (and I think it would work here) but it doesn't solve data races in general.
Why do you think that? The idea isn't to tell new developers to search for content that doesn't exist. The idea is to teach better solutions, a small part of which is using correct descriptive language when naming things.

"I don't know why magically using different, non-standard words would prevent a developer from being inexperienced." It's really hard to give any response to this sort of flawless logic...
Many transfer internally based on internal references and personal interests, and some people are recruited externally for specific expertise or skill set relevant to a project. Perhaps some generalists come from the outside too.

Source: I used to work there, and some of my teammates have transferred there.

Edit: removed trailing typo.
there are 2 things made of ferrite in an adapter, for different reasons. There is a ferrite ring around the input cable so that EMI don't go upstream in the socket, and this one they will probably keep. The other one is the core of the transformer and they say they don't need it at that frequency.
Its all about risk. My accounts are cleared to do small wire transfers instantly. But when I received a wire over $100,000 once, it took about 24 hours to verify before clearing. From what I've heard from bankers I've asked about this, they said that wire transfers are indeed instant, but the banks (on either end or both) may hold the transfer for any reason they want.

Act according to that maxim whereby you might
will that it should become universal law.

Active and passive forms are quantifiable, testable under contextual and relational analyses (highly frequent circumstantial virtuous, altruistic behavior versus less frequent) of Self and Other. Kant is providing à la Spinoza a chart for the geometry of ethical behavior, so we can treat ethical behavior in terms of non-locality to specific norms — whereas Spinoza does this in terms of a calculus of the emotions w/r/t Self, or the Ethical Self.

By Bernard Williams's standard, the amoralist cannot even conceivably have an intermittent feeling of sympathy[0]. The person is at minimum embedded within and embodied by sympathetic behavior (to self or to other), but this is not a necessary condition to morality.

At the same time, the kinds of experiments we run, and the types of questions we ask, potentially distill or deauthenticate the model with the widest representation of moral truth — however the narrative of science may belie institutional refactors at meta-ethical descriptions.

I don't see why not, especially because you already have the old key signature/fingerprint to use when pushing it into the Bloom filter. Seems like a perfect case for it, actually.
A distribution of an operating system, is itself, also an operating system.
I have to wonder how much of this is by not being genuine about asking for donations. I didn't see the buttons on the page so not sure how this was done but asking for donations can work if you are genuine about asking for them.

The best example I can think of is on the no agenda show. They literally have a segment of the podcast where the hosts ask for money. Its not begging, but a genuine "Provide money for value" proposition. You can hear about this business model on this podcast (Techzing) http://techzinglive.com/page/235/techzing-50-the-real-dvorak

Another lesser example I can think of is Cord Killers which uses a middleman (patreon) http://www.cordkillers.com/ but is essentially the same idea, where you ask for support and if you don't get it you don't provide the service.

It's possible this only works for people with existing audiences though as both the examples did.
My guess is that the numbers would swing sharply in the other direction if the study accounted for survivorship bias.
I still run a few eCommerce stores in various niches that take 5-15 orders a day. Not high volume, but still active. They mostly have the same checkout flow, with a credit card payment form, alongside "Pay with PayPal" and "Check out with Amazon" buttons on the side, which do get used frequently. I added a "Pay with Bitcoin" button from Coinbase under those several months ago, and a grand total of one person has ever used it, and that person spent about $2 on the cheapest thing I sell.
Of course it didn't work...

You could distrust any certificate that was signed before April 7 (or some slightly later date). It might be easier to do that and whitelist the good "pre-apocalypse" certificates. The nice thing about doing this is that your whitelist will inherently go to zero as certificates time out and get renewed (typically 1-3 years?).

The hard thing would be to generate an accurate whitelist.
He's only getting $1CPM here -- which is really low

The average on sites I run is around $5CPM -- during times of big budget spends (normally toward the end of fiscal quarters) I see this go up quite a bit.
Well, of course. I would suggest paq8l ;)

I think you can store very efficiently.
A neuron or synapse has a huge error rate. So, saving parameters of the synapse
as 4 byte floating point number could be overkill.
Connection information could be also reduced significantly by an intelligent sorting.
E. g. you don't have to store the source index and neurons connect probably more to
their neighbors then to neurons far away.
Therefore I am wondering, what must be saved in 24 byte.
Well, we will know, when we try it some day. At the moment it's just speculation.
Another explanation of the suicide rate: doctors have access to means and methods of completing suicide. They are also aware of techniques that make completed suicide more or less likely.
I'm in a similar position—I'd like to purchase a small amount of BTC, but am not willing to use my credit card or send photocopies of ID papers over the internet to do so.

I suspect that I should simply attend a meetup in my city and do an in-person transaction for cash. But all of that is additionally complicated by the fact that I don't use a smartphone. :)
You mean a $1 CPM. Mainstream media sites are able to sell at $5-25 CPM, but if you just slap a Google banner on your site, I guess that's about the norm these days.
I think this comment exemplifies the "HN negativity syndrome".

Completely disregarding the years of effort poured into developing a paper lens, etc., you simply dump the innovation into the "not very clever" pile?
Regarding the co-founder problem, time for a music analogy...

As a student there is this idea that you should be in a band, making music. Getting there needs lots of brainstorming to come up with the songs, lots of practice, jamming sessions, rehearsals, going out to try and get gigs, musical collaborations, partnerships with DJ's and support acts, getting gigs and publicising the gigs. Then there is the dream of getting signed by a record label.

The idea that you could do all of this on your own is quite laughable, isn't it? Even solo artists usually have a producer or a song-writer that is in effect a 'co-founder'.

Yet some get there on there own. Take for example Cliff Richard. The Shadows were his band but also mere hired hands with no equity. Cliff Richard didn't even have to write songs, those could be acquired somewhere else much like how a developer can pick up frameworks and make them their own.

In music there is an understanding that an artist can be solo. Just because they are not in a band does not mean nobody believed in them. Record labels don't tell them to go away and come back when they are in a band, if the talent is there then they will sort out whatever is needed, whether that be session musicians, songwriting or production.

This music analogy may appear a long way off software MVPs, however, it isn't. Another thing to learn from the music industry is that people don't expect a product (a song) to be number one on the hit parade for eternity. New shiny things on the web should be seen that way too, expected to be popular for a while in the 'top 40' and then to 'sell' consistently as back catalogue.
I mean, corporations should not be able to donate to political lobby groups, and campaigns. If an employee or shareholder wants to put their money in, so be it. Corporations should have very limited power, not treated like a person legally. You can have the protections you speak of without allowing political sway.

OMHO one of the biggest arguments for corporate personhood is they are tax paying entities... if you reduce corporations to only allow shared ownership and limited liability, while also limiting the holding of underutilized assets and capital, it would even out. I'm not talking about liability, I'm talking about holdings, taxes and political sway.

I worked in a hospital, and saw similar things, but I think the moral of the story is that huge organizations operate internally more like a feudal oligarchy. They crystallize, regardless of the external market.
Yes, and who is complaining about how inner city minorities can't pay their medical school bills. Answer is that they never had the resources to get into it no matter how interested they were in it. So this sounds more of a tiny violin "wish I became a banker, like my dad" sort of thing.
I dunno, I saw some statistics that put the median salary of a GP at 130k. That's in the Seattle Metro area too. Certainly some of the top make much more, but there are obviously programmers that make 400k too, but I can't expect that myself, or say that if you are a programmer you'll likely make that much.
The runaway success of AirBnB has to largely be viewed as a reaction to the alarming trend of increased % of income spent on rent.

What used to be a standard of 25% has approached 45%+ in a very short amount of time in cities like NYC, San Fran, LA, and more. Wages have stagnated and tenants are doing everything they possibly can to afford to live in their city of choice. For politicians to go after AirBnB is to miss the underlying problem.

If there doing useful work that offsets the need to supervise them then the patents should foot the bill for the net benefit. If there not doing useful work then there is no need to pay them.

Edit: As to fixing the shortage IMO remove the need for undergraduate education and you add 3+ years to a doctors career and lower costs. However, my point is you can have a sliding scale where they might make nothing for 3 months, minimum wage for 3 months, on up to full pay at year 7. Or however the cost/benefit equation works out such that there is no need for a subsidy.

I wouldn't say $1 RPM is "really low," at least not for Adsense. I would say going south of that would start to qualify, but I think the absolute average is around $1.30.

it's not mandatory in most countries for various reasons. The most simple one is that none of failures modes of the adapters connect the main to the laptop without doing a short first (unless you bought a fake one in which case all the bets are off).
If you are prepared to take a hit on multiple exchanges you can buy Bitcoin using https://www.virwox.com/‎ using Paypal.

You input Dollars use that to buy Linden then use that to buy Bitcoin. You pay exchange fees for each transaction, and you are limited to small amounts each month till you gain credibility, but it is possible.
That might be an argument against Kickstarter in general, but it isn't a good criticism of any particular use of Kickstarter, especially of one like this which appears highly likely to succeed in producing the promised product.
This isn't a good comparison. I have no reason to trust Coinbase and my options for recourse are minimal if they end up being shitty. My bank is an institution with capital assets in my city. I know where they are. They have an address and it's local. I can talk to a manager, face to face, if there is a problem. (And have.)

(And my bank has a better security record than Bitcoin companies have thus far shown, besides.)

They don't want to give away spots to people who aren't actually going to go, if they pre-charge you and refund later the candidates that register are more likely to actually attend.
This might partly be because you're smarter now than you were as a teenager. I feel like my reactions have slowed a little bit since I was younger, but I'm still overall better at a lot of games because my strategic thinking has improved at the same time.
If you go to PayPal and want to open regular account for low transactions, do they ask you for ID and proof of residence? You cannot compare brick and mortar bank to bitcoin service.

I would love to even get $1CPM on a site I run. I get 5,000 unique's a day but make very little cash.

It might be due to the nature of the site though as its aimed a programmers.
How do you feel about online banks, like Ally?
It could even be fueling the increased rent in a small way. With residential apartments occupied as hotels, there's fewer on the market. I've hosted on airbnb to defray the cost of my apartment; viewed from another angle, that's helping keep the market's costs up through my increased willingness to pay the prices.
It's important to note that this is to comply with US money laundering laws. There's no technical reason for this to be the case.
This is, I believe, how firefighters work: long shifts of oncall where they live in the firehouse, separated by longer periods of non-work (rest, sleep, whatever).

True, if you use a third party, you lose many of the benefits of Bitcoin, and the existing client programs may not be very good at helping you integrate.

But you don't need to use a third party, so you don't need to give anyone any ID (or put up with their hassles), so long as you just want to receive BTC without converting back. You just download a bitcoin client, and it generates addresses for you. Give out the address, and you're done -- people know where to sent it, and you can receive them.

Naturally, you'd want to make sure the private keys to those generated addresses are backed up and safe.
For reference, the deleted comment above mine had asked if all of the companies listed in 'used and loved by' were legit (fair skepticism I reckon). After I answered they deleted their comment.
Yeah, but bitcoin businesses may have to follow the same regulations no matter what if they considered as dealing currencies (depends on your local jurisdiction). That's what it boils down to. It's probably not Coinbase who independently implemented this requirement.
It took me a bit, but I think I now understand what you are saying. I'm a novice, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

The "greedy" behavior would be when minors explicitly prefer a sequence of transactions such as:

Customer => Merchant: X+ε (1)

Merchant => fees: X+ε (1)

over

Customer => Customer: X+ε (2)

Going so far as to swap out (2) with (1), even if they already have (2). If there is no double spend, presumably the trustworthy merchant would send back ε after sufficient confirmation []. Or, in a world with fees, the ε would be fees in the original transaction (still serving the purpose of costing the malicious customer Bitcoin, even with successful double spend).

That seems like a decent solution.

[*] Or I suppose it could be in the same block. No difference.

Edit: formatting made it unclear.
We had certs that were only used and present on machines that were not vulnerable, and therefore did not replace or revoke them. Please don't do this.
That's a good thing. Unconfirmed transactions are.... get this... unconfirmed. :)

If people treat them that way, the network will be stronger.
That was intellectually honest. Good read.

>Being humiliated and beaten as a child with no control over the situation is not "training" for anything. It's abundantly clear that you did not experience that and have no idea what it is like for a child. Let's hope as a crotchety old man that nobody ever decides to show you what it's like when you're stuck in a nursing home where no one believes or cares to help you because of some stupid reason like that it should toughen you up.

Perhaps you should not make such unfounded assumptions. It would also behoove you to refrain from such overt ad hominem argument.

Do you think I was never a child? I speak from experience, not conjecture. I can't say the same for your vitriolic response.

As a child, I went through many situations that were very stressful for me at the time, but ultimately helped to construct a number of helpful psychological responses to aggression. Those responses are very useful in the real world. Contrary to what teachers may have you believe, bullying does not end in school. It simply becomes more subtle.
For low transactions maybe, but as soon as you want to do anything more with your Paypal account they will ask for the same kind of papers. I find nothing strange about that.
Paypal didn't ask me for that. I just entered my Visa details and I donate. Google Wallet hasn't asked me.

Are you sure that you can’t write the book under a H1B?

Can the book be a part of your work at your current company? They can get a small cut and some publicity in the acknowledgments and in your biography.

Remember AANAL. Ask a real one.

Also, IIRC the publishers usually pays and advance and a few % of the sales. (10%?) I don’t know the situation in USA, but here in Argentina one the advice is to assume that all the money you would see is the advance. The problem with the cut of the sales is that ... and then ... and so ... then you will get the money next year but ... and then ... and you never get additional money. If it’s a best seller you can sue and get your 10%, but if the sales are small it’s not enough money to sue.
