I'm pretty sure regulations varies by state. I also think it varies per employer. In states where the wording is vague, some companies will slip in specific language/wording into their NDA and employee policies to cover their bases. Whether those policies will hold up in court is another matter, but it could be an added headache.

If you use RC and RefCell properly, there shouldn't be dynamic borrow failures any more than there are ConcurrentModificationExceptions in Java or NSEnumeration failures in Objective-C. Sadly most people don't use them very effectively; it seems more work is required to make the right patterns more obvious and easy to use.

One of the best scenes in Adventure Time is when Ice King goes to Marceline's house to jam. It turns out the "lyrics" Ice King wrote were actually messages to Marceline the little girl that he wrote hundreds of years ago, before the crown turned Simon into the Ice King.

It would be great though if there was an option in general to say, look, I'm an expert, I've tried this, this, and this already. But I see lots of reasons why this wouldn't be practical.
You're completely right. Reclassification can be done through the legislative process (see: Markey bill, http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation/2014/02/03/senator-ed...). That's a positive fix.

That said, at this point the first step is to prevent the negative regulation from coming into effect. One way to do that is to ask your Representatives and Senators to submit a letter of opposition to the FCC.

That's what we did here with Crowdfunding: http://www.sec.gov/comments/s7-06-13/s70613-370.pdf

removing the emotional part of the case - the question then is do we remove people from the board when they cop a charge of any sort? I guess we would answer yes off thw bat, that boards should be full of upright persons, yet, i have a sneaking suspicion, a few might consider, if i copped a charge of any sort, especially a plea bargain, would i want others to give me a chance? A less clear cut answer.

Also - thw tabloidy school homework writing a first news story style of writing on recoad.net is pretty awful. Get some me a sub-ed stat.
The posted article is much more readable than this SEC document. I wouldn't call it "blog spam" at all. (I'd define "blog spam" as a blog post that links to another article without adding any value.)

We needed those features--explicit memory management, for example--to write a browser engine, and we know others need those features too. (For example, game developers are really not OK with a language that hides the distinction between the stack and the heap.)
I wish it had a "pathological case" option for data to sort per-algorithm.

In particular: Quicksort, which (unless you're willing to make an (expensive) call to a (P)RNG per iteration) has a worst case of O(n^(2)) time.
Absolutely! Example code affects programming style and teaches people. It should be correct (and in good style), this is probably very much underrated.
I take pleasure in the way this works out:

1. The airline tries to nickel-and-dime customers by charging for checked bags.

2. Their customers respond by carrying on bags.

3. The airline lacks capacity for the carry-ons

4. The customers end up with a freebie: Free checked bags at the gate (instead of waiting in line in the lobby).
> Should a board remove a CEO who is convicted of domestic violence and battery? The answer seems obvious: Yes.

Aggressive violence is worthy of punishment, but a question that seems persistent recently is whether a person's personal failings should be met with professional consequences. If so, it should also be considered to which positions and for what period of time those consequences should be applied.

Either way, the answer to that question hardly seems obvious.
But isn't Google constantly "ddos"ed by definition? (I mean simultaneously used by almost every computer on Earth).
I didn't find this cartoon particularly innovative or interesting [based on the large article I read about it, to which this comment was attached]

I am not devaluing the show. I find that many of my friends enjoy watching GoT. I do not however. I would also be sort of confused finding an interview with the cast and crew on HN.

Let me be blunt, I don;t find this content relevant and I think others are suffering from the bias of their affinity for this show. Honestly this just seems like reddit,I am arguing a subjective opinion about a cartoon...
Woahwoahwoah... That episode was absolutely amazing and was the first time it became clear to me I was no longer watching just another kids show, but finding out what you just said before actually seeing it for the first time would be like finding out early that you-know-who was you-know-who's father. Please consider putting a [MEGA SPOILERS] tag at the beginning of your comment.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't that popular even back then (5-7 years ago). I recall users being chided for not using flickr because of how badly imageshack sucked. Imageshack was great for images you wanted to share on small/mid sized internet forums, but flickr was probably the biggest/best until imgur dethroned them. Yahoo! buying flickr probably didn't help much either. Though that's only anecdotal, I never used flickr enough to notice.
Spot on.

As far as a quick layman's glance has shown, the problem is specific to the 'last mile' bit of data connection, which is run by Comcast, Verizon, etc...

The backbone pipelines are run by companies like Level3 and Cogent, which are not of concern for this debate.

'Last mile' wires tend to be one company per city, so we're stuck trying to prevent relatively small-scale monopolies from extracting rents via regulation. The better solution is competition.

Enter Google Fiber, spurring competition: http://www.kansascity.com/2014/04/21/4973046/att-may-bring-g...

I've heard a little chatter about the subnet idea, but it'd be tricky to do 'underground' with regards to city regulation and trickier to get approval for.

Well, you're not wrong--Java's generics and Rust's generics were very influenced by ML's. So really you're seeing the ML influence :)

(Though Rust's generics really borrow more from those of Haskell, since it has more fully-featured typeclasses as opposed to just eqtypes like SML.)
Seems like you're suggesting overt tech fetishism for measuring reputation. It seems doubtful that the implementation will replace the sum of even partial sum of those listed in time. Rather merely another proxy of an ephemeral quality.
Indeed, that is when I really appreciated the depth of this show.

I've worked with publishing houses, and boy, if there's an industry that's more conservative, I don't even want to know...

And no, this was in the US/UK. Although I wouldn't be surprised if the Germans would be even worse, considering that they're equally consolidated, even more snooty (even harder boundaries between genre and "serious" literature) and then there's the whole fixed book price deal...

I saw a funny, but also sad, bit by a comedian once. I wish I could remember his name.

"Everything you've ever owned is still out there," he said. "Remember those rollerblades you used once in 1994? Those still exist. Except maybe in little pieces. Maybe in the ocean."

Maybe in 20 years someone will dig up a few of those millions of plastic Guitar Hero guitars that are now wasting away in landfills for a documentary.
Stopping Link Rot: Aiming To End A Virtual Epidemic
If you use libgreen in Rust, you don't even have the preemption at function calls, and it works OK. I agree that this isn't much of an issue in practice.
In JavaScript every object is basically a hashtable. In order to get acceptable performance JS engines build type descriptions ("hidden classes" or sometimes just "maps") behind your back. That is, if you create a JS object (hashtable) with fields `x` and `y` it will create a hidden class with those two fields. This way it can access the fields efficiently. See http://mrale.ph for much more information on JS engines.

These hidden classes are built on the fly: say you add `x` to a instance to get an object with a configuration that was never seen before. In that case, the engine creates a new description with that new field and remembers the transition (so that further objects with similar configurations can reuse the same hidden class).

Keeping track of these hidden classes takes time and space. If you actually use the JS object as a hashtable, then there will be lots of unnecessary hidden classes, that will never be used again. However, there is a trick to tell the engine that an object is actually a hashtable (and shouldn't be optimized as if it was an instance of a class): when deleting a field from an object v8 (and probably all other engines) assume that the object is used as a hashtable and don't create these hidden classes anymore.

Dart2js uses this trick to avoid this cost some important big hashtables (`B`, `C`, ...).
Agreed, just like how languages evolve to become simpler (faster and easier to speak), evolution should cause anatomy to simplify and become more robust to adversity over time.
The thing with it being a public social network is that many people want anonymity.

Ask HN: Is it possible to work at a big tech company without a degree?
I'm from outside the US and I recently started looking into the possibility of working in one of the big tech companies (Amazon, Google, Apple, etc), but when I started looking into the visa process I saw that a bachelor's degree is required for H1B, unless you find a way to get an O1. Also, most job descriptions require a degree "or equivalent".

I started CS and studied for 3 years. Then I started working at startups with mobile app development. Quitted, worked as a consultant for several companies and stated my own company. Finally, got acquired recently and now I work as a PM at a huge web company in my country. I've also won prizes for my apps and have stellar reviews in the app store.

Do you think I would be qualified to get a job a big tech company without a degree, or any tips to make this happen?

I'd suggest adding some documentation or at least some basic examples before submitting. I have no idea what the library does or how to use it, so I really have no idea if it's interesting to me.
Consult a lawyer. This is complicated, and depends upon location, your project, and your employer's lines of business. In the absence of that, though, a conservative approximation is that yes, everything you launch belongs to your employer.
Great idea. Obscure landing page.

It's practically impossible to know what this does,unless you click on the [our board] link. Even after scrolling all the way to the bottom of the page where you are asked to part with money.

It would be a shame for such a great idea to be passed by due to lack of clarity.
In a similar vein, I've been loving the show Space Dandy, which is like Adventure Time's (slightly) older brother from across the Pacific; it's co-directed by Shinichiro Watanabe, of Cowboy Bebop fame.

Bringing it closer to Adventure Time than Cowboy Bebop however, it includes the work of a wide range of artists in different episodes, and isn't too minded by continuity. It also benefits from surprisingly bearable English voice acting and translation in Adult Swim's dubbed version.

Here's a review:

http://www.avclub.com/review/space-dandy-is-more-than-cowboy...
I actually liked the E.T. game. It was probably one of the games I played the most as a child (next to Pitfall).
Pac Man, on the other hand, was terrible on the Atari.
Minor nit here:

Generally, publishers don’t just accept submissions from any aspiring author. They go through agents. So you must first convince an agent that you will be a lucrative investment. As a rule, agents take 15% of everything you make from a book.

Speaking as an author, I love my agent. My agent is on commission, on my side. A good accountant is supposed to save you more money than they cost you; a good agent will actually make you more money. The agent's job is to match your book with the right editor, or if there's more than one who's likely to buy it they run an auction: once they've got you a publisher they then squeeze as much money out of the publisher as possible -- publishers always low-ball the advance and terms they offer an unrepresented author -- and then vet the contract small-print for landmines. A survey an author of my acquaintance conducted about five years ago came up with statistics for agented vs. un-agented books in the SF/F field (which is what I write), polling professional authors on a mailing list; in general, the book advances of authors who go through agents are between 150% and 200% of those received by unagented authors.

The benefits of an agent are likely to be lower for a non-fic author who writes technical/business books on an irregular basis -- but still reasonable. But for a fiction author who eats or starves on the basis of pushing out at least one book a year, the agent's ability to market the author and push their career track is essential.

They are, after all, on commission. And the more they can earn for the author, the more they get to take home too.
Neo900 probably won't come with any OS preinstalled, maybe except some Debian based BSP which you'll be encouraged to replace with OS of your choice, as it won't be supposed to be actively used - it will be there for easy testing if all hardware works as it should.

It is a small project with very small target audience (currently about 350), so it won't be built to shelf, as there's simply not enough money to do that; therefore if you eventually want it you should express your interest now by donating at least 100 EUR, so you'll be counted on component sourcing. Donation will act as a rebate on the price of the device when it's out (in few months).
More details: http://neo900.org/#donate

Where to buy? Straight from its manufacturer, of course.

There's also GTA04 - http://gta04.org/ - which is already out for few years, but now it's unfortunately hardly obtainable and it seems like there's not enough interest from customers to do next production batch (well, most of potential customers probably were stolen by Neo900 :P). Neo900 is based on GTA04 and produced by the same company.

And of course there's also old good Openmoko Neo Freerunner, which despite of being massively underpowered, meets all requirements you mentioned. It should be still available at some retailers, like Golden Delicious Computers, Pulster or IDA Systems.

Also, you might want to look at MIPS-based Qi-Hardware Ben NanoNote. It's not a phone, but it also meets your requirements and it's available (though supplies seem to be near end, so you better hurry if you decide that you want it. AFAIK Pulster and IDA Systems still have it, but you can count remaining units with hand). I don't know if someone launched any BSD on it, but I can't see why it shouldn't be possible.

So, to make it clear, every device I mentioned so far in all my comments, except Neo900, already went on sale. With Neo900 it's a matter of few months.

From future devices also worth noting, there's DragonBox Pyra, an OpenPandora successor, which will also provide optional modem (the same like in Neo900 btw - those two are actually sister projects, sharing some developers).

The only thing Raspberry Pi is better than any of those devices is price, but when you'll count money and time spent on making Raspberry Pi an acceptable option when operating on battery, this probably won't be true anymore.
I looks like the satellites will move much faster and lower over Australia, so they will only be overhead for shorter periods. I guess they could still be used for extra accuracy when one happens to pass by.

"Most people walk on paved roads in the valley below"

I know it's not the author who said this, but oh piss off with that self-congratulatory crap. How on earth do you know what most people do? Let's see, according to http://www.statisticbrain.com/world-poverty-statistics/ 50% of the world lives on less than $1.50/day. If you're lucky enough to be in the U.S. with the means and opportunity to become an entrepreneur, maybe put in a second's thought before you go off and say how uberman you are.
there is a fantastic article about fixing bugs in the game, I am pretty sure that HN will appreciate:

That's more like college level biology there. In high school biology I learned something along the lines of "sugar is used to produce ATP, and ATP is energy". (I was pretty skeptical of the tail end of this claim even then.)

Unfortunately the writing seems to be getting worse and worse over the years. There were lots of nerdy jokes in the early seasons, but at that time they were done in a celebratory way. In many of the newer episodes it feels like mocking. See "Vault of Bones" for example. Not to mention all the "preetreen drama" introduced.
Please. Don't allow people from that company a voice here. That abomination is mostly (in)famous for a tabloid with headlines that would ALWAYS be flagged on this site. And for bare-breasted girls on page three. And random football/soccer news.

I find the recent trend about total inability to separate a persons' personal life from his professional disturbing. So for me the answer to the question should he be removed from his position is far from obvious yes.

If you feel mad about him getting away easy, ask for better training of cops to respect a person rights (a fourth amendment violation is far from technicality), suspension of the plea deals for DA or fix the system. By imposing your own extrajudical punishments you are undermining the court system as a whole.

Money is what we use when more personal exchange fails.
