I've always found this to be the trickiest, both in terms of defining it (in advance of a negotiation) and being willing to stick to it (during the discussion). Sometimes understanding that the BATNA is just the time saved can be helpful.

NB It's related to other advice that 'deals exist in order to fall through'.
To add to simonster's comment [1]: confusingly, OLS is also morally equivalent to what the map calls "SGD regressor" with a squared loss function[2]. It is also nearly equivalent, with lots of caveats and many details aside, to SVR with a linear kernel and practically no regularization.

So yeah, it is confusing. There is a lot of overlap between several disciplines and it's still an emerging field.

I agree with this 100%. When my internet gets slow I'm wasting so much time, because I'm still thinking it will finally work for me, whereas if its not working at all, I can go and do something else that is productive and doesn't require internet access.
One of the little-noticed (yet) features of the upcoming 9.4 release greatly increases the ability to optimize moving aggregates for certain types of numerical operations, including custom aggregates. See http://www.depesz.com/2014/04/13/waiting-for-9-4-provide-mov... for a better explanation.
I would go for the 4th one. I am 25 years old in a 3rd world country working as front-end developer, and I would give everything just to be in your place. Life is short you can always work at some places, I think you should go for it. Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.
A lot of people are starting to use org-mode for that kind of thing. Fully reproducible research in a single file. To check the work, just export the file to pdf/html/etc., or "C-c C-c" the code blocks as you read through in org-mode. It's fantastic.

You are talking about the startup like it is a commodity. Is it a brilliant game changing idea that could fundamentally revolutionize a space? Is it a To-Do list knock off? You should not do a start-up to do a start-up, you should do a startup because somewhere inside of you there is an outrageous, nearly undefinable force driving you to do it because you know the idea in some form or another must exist for the world to be as it should

Interactive Browser Visualizations from Python with Bokeh (PyData 2014)
Our small country of The Netherlands previously used the subreddit /r/netherlands. Until some mods demoted other mods and started abusing their powers.

Most active users have moved away from that sub to /r/thenetherlands, but the sad thing is people who want to learn about our country end up in the wrong subreddit with a bunch of trolls.

Yes, reddit needs some kind of protection against moderators with ill intentions.
I agree with you completely. I wouldn't have went for the 2nd or 3rd, if I didn't truly believe in the idea. Same goes for the 4th.

I personally believe it's a brilliant game changing idea.
You think the people in politics understand the idea of "net neutrality" LOL. I'd be surprised if most Senators/House members knew the difference between USPS and email.

Load documents from streams in ASP.NET MVC or WebForms projects
In large projects, documents are often stored not as files in a file system, but in some other form. In most cases, documents are stored in a database and you can't obtain them as files. Also, quite often documents are stored on a remote server and are available through web services. The only way these documents can be obtained is through byte streams. This article going to show you how to load such documents with the GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET library.
To echo everyone else's comments:

1. Keep focusing on delivering - product, customer service, scalability.

2. You can't hire a full time employee - but can you semi automate enough of things like customer support to chisel out time for a VA? See patio11 on how he hired a VA to handle much of bingo card creator (somewhere on kalzumeus.com)

3. Go find some of that funding - today. Use your real account and ask HN how to raise finance, term sheets etc. Get on Angellist now. It will take months but putting even 1/2m behind you will make the competition sweat - you have five years experience and funding. you should be a slam dunk.

4. Find something else - walk the dog, raise children, exercise. get out of the house. look up at the sky. We are a very small blue dot.

take care and good luck !

If you want to prove something, you must fight back with the same weapons. I think the ISP's will suddenly agree that this isn't fair.. (using the same tactics as they do). They are just on the different side now, but it's basicly the same thing. That's the beauty of it.

Basically unreadable. Not sure what you were going for, but I think it was the wrong thing.

Off the top of my head:

1.) There's no reason not to use newlines. They have no chance of introducing bugs in any reasonable language and they aid readability.

2.) You're using closures all over place and I haven't checked every occurrence, but I strongly suspect that almost all of them are unnecessary and unhelpful. Closures are not free in terms of code complexity. Use them only when necessary.

If nothing else, this might remind those who see it that you can leak private keys / passwords if you put then in source control.

If you're ever near Sindelfingen (Germany), take a look at the buses at shift changes.

More than twenty bus companies are shuttling workers to and from the factory.

And it's no big deal. Of course you curse them when you happen to be in traffic right behind several of those, but they evoke no hatred in the populace, but even some kind of pride.

But, of course, there's not much jealousy involved when it comes to Daimler. Everyone knows someone working there. And the workers there don't generally carry the stigma of being filthy rich.

Google is more elite, I guess.

But the problem is certainly not the buses or the traffic per se.

I've found HN to be a very good alternative. The comments/discussions were a bit iffy to get into at first with some trigger-happy downmods, but overall I think the conversation is very constructive. And there is a dearth of information and helpful things being said.
Should we trust all of these frameworks?
Nowadays, there is practically no one left without using frameworks in all kinds of languages and platforms, php, python, ruby, html etc... And I'm honestly prejudiced against them. They all interfere with our codes, our files and first handly our dreams. And they even decreases our scopes like when we trying to search some kind of functions it is not programming language anymore it is the framework that we search in the search engines like "how to do ... in <framework>", and I am too afraid this is going to restrict my code. I am right now coding a huge scope platform as web application and I avoid all kind of framework in back-end. I only use bootstrap-admin templates for the front-end. However I am also working for some kind of Digital Agency and in every 3 days we create new web and mobile projects. Unfortunately we have to use frameworks because of the time limit. And I worry everyday I am learning new framework that I will never use in my life and surprisingly they are no perfect either. They all have their own shortcomings. I am asking to HN, how reliable are these frameworks to build our startups, dreams, long-term projects ?
There is a faster way, use their own weapons against them:

I agree that those things are benefits of dumbphones. But it's not obvious that's what GP was referring to as they used the word "increasingly". The aspect of smartphones vs dumbphones you mention haven't been a changing feature in the past few years. So I think it's reasonable to infer that the GP was referring to the recent NSA spying/surveillance, rather than the issues you noted.

Not employed at google, but I'm sure I'm in a similar situation in terms of deciding whether and when to port. There are a lot us of who think either:

1.) python3 will die (long live python 2.x)

2.) python3 will become easier to port to

If neither of those happen, python itself will probably die in the long term, so I'm pretty confident one or the other will come to be.

I just want to meta-comment how depressing it that people are attacking rayiner for explaining how Washington sees things.

I'm in for one (laptop version), but wondering just how close one could get off-the-shelf.

If you had $1999 to build your own version of the novena, thats as portable/powerful/free as you can make it, what could you make?

minimum requirements: 13" 1080p IPS, xilinx spartan 6 fpga or better, quad core 1.2Ghz cpu, dual 1gb nic, usb otg support, high speed gpio, 240gb intel 530 ssd

freedom bonuses: hackable case, replaceable battery, open source bios/eproms, open source gpu

My best guess is some older thinkpad + xilinx fpga eval kit + beaglebone black + usb3 gigabit ethernet dongles will still cost around $1600 but have a faster cpu/gpu and memory, but wouldn't be nearly as free/open source as this one.

Or, how much would you really save trying to start with the $500 board and make the laptop-tier version?

Facebook’s Mobile Ad Network: 5 Things App Developers Should Know
For context, this project just published a paper in Nature on this simulation [0] and a preprint is available [1]. One of the reasons this simulation is big news is its use of a new numerical technique (a "moving mesh"[2]) for the hydrodynamics which purportedly handles fluid instabilities with much greater accuracy. One effect of this is that cold gas flowing onto galaxies interacts with the hot gas halo around galaxies, which prevents that cold gas from going directly to the centers of galaxies. This results in larger simulated galaxies, which match better with observations.

[0] http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v509/n7499/full/nature1...

[1] http://arxiv.org/abs/1405.1418

[2] Previous work used either a fixed mesh with adaptive refinement for higher-resolution or a "smoothed particle hydrodynamics" scheme where particles are used to simulate fluid flows. Both schemes have advantages and disadvantages, but the claim is that this moving mesh code ("Arepo") does the best job of treating fluid instabilities. The paper describing the new code is at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2009.15715.x

Seconded. I'd love to be able to share this with friends/colleagues.
For most scientists there isn't another system, and certainly when the system was established nobody was envisaging a time when publishers would make hundreds of % markup on every access of a paper. The prices reflect print publishing costs and the historical lack of a cheap distribution system like the internet. Now we have a hangover where people's careers are judged on their ability to publish in high-impact journals, all of which charge several thousand pounds extra to make the paper Open Access. So we're not tricked, but we do it under duress.

The system is changing, Aaron helped.
Ask HN: HN addiction anyone?
I feel like I have an addiction to HN. Every morning I read the first 300 news (skimming through and opening interesting titles) and then randomly (compulsively) opening again to see what's new. I also do it with music while drunk after the party sometimes. Anyone else feels like that?

What will make you switch from iPhone to Android
Our understanding is that Apple have currently only enabled MPTCP for Siri. This probably makes sense - Siri isn't mission critical, but is very delay sensitive. Using both LTE and WiFi for a Siri connection should allow them to get low delay in the case either has a problem. They're using Citrix Netscaler at the server end, which does have MPTCP support.

Disclaimer: I'm one of the authors of MPTCP.
This is the fix for one of the two fundamental issues with H1B. The second issue is that H1B is tied to employer and you can't switch employer unless receiving side agrees to do brunt work of legal "transfer". This gives employers unchecked power to exploit H1B workers. The way this happens is employer - typically a "consulting agency" - takes cut from all payments so H1B salary is just above the minimum required. This issue allowed proliferation of mom & pop shops that would literally import people from places like India and Pakistan by dozens. With cuts of size $40K per person they would rack up millions of dollars doing absolutely nothing but sponsoring H1Bs and running the shop literally in their pajamas from their home.

For the first issue of spouses not able to work, I've heard several horror stories where spouse has medical or engineering degree but is forced to sit at home doing nothing. The situation, as I recall, wasn't too bad however because such spouses eventually went on to get F1 visa for studies or H1B themselves so they can work. However path to that was extraordinarily tedious littered with lots of legal issues.

I really like UK's work permit system comparatively. It allows to work anywhere in UK once you get permit and avoids employer exploitation. It automatically grants spauces also permission to work. In addition, if you live in UK on work permit for 4 years with paying taxes then you are automatically eligible for permanent residence. As sad it is, UK has taken much more freedom oriented approach for immigrants than US for years.
AppCode and Reveal app better together
Originally Apply started out with 30%. Perhaps they thought at the time (remember, there were no apps then) that going higher would dissuade developers. Then other app stores (Google Play, etc.) entered and charged 30%. Now, even with entrenched positions, raising the percentage would probably be very negative PR / developer relations. Dropping the percentage doesn't really make sense because you'd just be entering a price war (competitor immediately drops percentage, you both lose).
