> Perceptivity: [...] Adults gifted in this way detect and dislike falsehood and hypocrisy.

Having issues with hypocrisy (outward or inward) is something that "gifted" people typically have an issue with. Extreme intelligence (which is an indicator of being "gifted") is something that pervades our industry - hence our industry generally has a strong reaction to hypocrisy.

Don't believe for one second that the average person (or SFer) cares how hypocritical they are being, don't think for one second that pointing that out to them will change anything.

The only way to change their behavior is to the remove or resolve the problem that causes their hypocritical behavior.

Contact: Google brings a group of distinguished Russian developers to its Google IO conference(including me), we can meet in person in SF since June 18th till July 3rd, otherwise my email address is in my CV.

I am looking for a company to help it grow with all my experience in software engineering, data science, public speaking and nurturing new developers.
The concept is not flawed, just because some implementations have not been popular and have failed commercially. If anyone was going to produce a good implementation, I would count on Mozilla.
Please ask your dad to send me an email (or mail me directly). I will be back in Romania in early July, I could conceivably hop over to Bulgaria to talk this over in person.

I've done a few other things like this with good results:

Opensource? no?! well, thank you but I already have a lot of problems with platform/vendor lock-in in the mobile world.

But if you guys decided to change your mind and open the source, I will be glad to try :-)
This is a good way of choosing a song on your iPod while shuffling. Assume you have a tolerance of shuffling through 40 songs before picking one.

You should click through the first 40/e (roughly 15). Then start clicking until you come across a song better then the best one in the first 15.

Listen to that one.

FWIW, if you're a developer who uses IntelliJ's flagship IDEA Ultimate IDE, you can get the Python plugin and get nearly all the functionality of PyCharm. Same goes for most of their other products (WebStorm, PHPStorm, etc.). Fabulous products for those of an IDE-inclination.

My argument is that the author should have made that his leading premise, not a secondary point.
Thanks for engaging on it.

There's a much larger conversation going on, about the role of gender in technology. Two of the core topics are 1) the presence (or lack) of women in computer science / web development, and 2) the respect given to the women who are present.

Even if it was unintended, directing a question on an open board to "gents" suggests one of two things: 1) there are only men here; 2) even if there are women here, I'm not interested in their insights. The first is false (HN does have women, and would be improved with more). The second is disrespectful and would also lead to a poorer results set.

I'm sure there was no disrespect intended on your part. Indeed, I'd believe you were trying to make the question more respectful.

Either "How do you make blueprints for your web application idea?" or "How should I make blueprints for my web application idea?" would carry the exact same intended payload, while removing the gendered language issues.

As a follow-up to my earlier point, I'd really recommend the 37 Signals blog and the writings from Amy Hoy. Just about anything from their back catalog will be helpful as you map out your ideas, and as you make sure the product you build is actually something people will want.

This thing annoyingly starts to autoplay some sound and video.
Well no, because it's been proven already that Silk Road was a drug exchange, and thus the money is dirty drug money and confiscated by the government. Whether Ulbricht was the mastermind behind the exchange and should be incarcerated is yet to be determined (I believe), that takes a longer lawsuit than a court order to shut SR down and seize its assets.
Even that takes some seed funding, which he likely does not have (after 7 months of unpaid work).

Bulgaria is not the most rich place in the world and government grants are reserved mostly for those with connections.
I recently dismantled a human skull, cutting the entire mass into 2mm squares. The face is definitely one of the more delicate bits.

I suppose the argument could be made that it is a crumple zone designed to absorb shocks that might otherwise damage the brain. However, it seems far more likely that like the rest of the skull the face evolved to facilitate the birth of a bipedal creature with a ginormous brain.

Most studies of rapid human encephalization and obstetrics also seem to lean towards this conclusion.
The application UI is the native one. It's just that you use NativeScript to create it. It's not like an 'ugly' cross platform common denominator.
File Server, way back when, when I used to torrent the main place to get a server was OVH. As far as I know that's still hotbed for that sort of server. Pretty cheap and tons of space.

Digital Ocean are pretty kickass for a test server. I moved to them from Rackspace Cloud who again are pretty kickass.

I'm just generally skeptical of Musk. He is great at putting out blog posts that people don't treat like the press releases they are.
The scenario is that passing on a candidate means they might become unavailable, or choosing one means you can't look at the rest. Basically, how to choose the best item when you have to choose and can't change your mind?

Well, you can't guarantee you choose the best, but you can try to maximize the chance of doing better than random.

This models real-world situations such as (the article example) picking a wife from a pool of women, or even something such as who to hire from a pool of job applicants. In these scenarios, job candidate you passed on might take a different job, or the woman you choose to marry means you can't date the rest, or vice versa.

Obviously, if you can examine everyone and then go back and choose, you'd do that.

The irony is Kepler actually did get to go back - he hesitated on #5, she became unavailable, then he went through the rest of his list of women... and went back to re-woo #5. So he got to see all the candidates before choosing. ;)

Ask HN: what CDN should I use for my JS lib?
Hi everyone,

here where I work we develop a JavaScript wrapper for our API, to be used by our clients. We want to serve this from some place else than our server, use a good CDN and serve this file from there just like Google does with jQuery and so many other libs, for example.

So, what CDN should I use? Can you tell me why?

Thanks in advance
> In the mantle, temperatures range between 500 to 900 °C (932 to 1,652 °F) at the upper boundary with the crust; to over 4,000 °C (7,230 °F) at the boundary with the core. [1]

Those would be some pretty extreme extremophiles!

How to Build A Startup Community
I use Ramnode to play around in. Cheap and they have pretty good support. Whenever I need help I just send in a ticket and they usually respond instantly, even on weekends. Also ton of flexibility with your machine. Can install any linux distro and do whatever you want on it.
Except fiat economics are a bit more complicated than that. Everyone getting a 100% wage raise would increase money supply (and by extension massive inflation).
IMO the best way to introduce monads to the average programmer is to say that they are a kind of functional design patterns (which is a valid analogy if not an exact categorization).

DPs in object-oriented programming are also an abstract concept that is difficult to grasp at first, but most senior programmers have already gone through it and succeeded; so liking monads to them can inspire an initial sense of confidence that will be useful when learning the concept, and provides a useful frame to understand the purpose of using monads in functional code (which unfortunately is missing in most monad tutorials).
Optimal Stopping and Applications
Exactly, it not within the expectations we have with Musk. Hence why would people not question the motive or gesture?
There are many areas in the article where they describe their plan to open source this. It's in their roadmap for v0.4 projected to be released in Oct. 2014.

Also, "...This is the reason why we decided that once the core framework is implemented we will release the framework code under the Apache License Version 2. We already have an organization on http://github.com/NativeScript where the project will be hosted and will be pushing the code shortly - now just go ahead and star us."

Who is the The Most Interesting Developer in the World?
Yeah, I love DO - sort of split between them and Linode for the test server. Really dig the idea of Cloudatcost's one time payment though.
Actually, they mean Sass. It's not an acronym, it's a proper noun.
the idea of climate change goes against everything conservatives and libertarians believe in. first, it disproves the randian notion that everyone working in their own self interest is positive. Second, it's a problem that can only be solved by government. When something goes against people's core values so deeply, no amount of proof in the world will change their mind. not believing in global warming is a big part of their identity. not to mention, if they accepted climate change, it'd be pretty hard to continue listening to talk radio or Fox News and watching their favorite commentators blatantly lie about climate change. Because hey, maybe if Sean hannity is wrong about climate change, maybe he's wrong about other stuff too.

Please avoid these types of overtly political inflammatory arguments on HN.

Capital markets are a tool for allocating resources

In the modern sense, when someone on HN is advocating capitalism, they're talking about Free Market Capitalism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism#Free-market_economy

Fundamentally, it's the freedom to trade with others based upon supply and demand without the government intervening to dictate what to provide, how to provide it, and at what price to provide it.

The only way to counter that market freedom is to create rules (laws and regulations) to restrict how actors in the market are allowed to conduct themselves.

Honestly, what does regulation have to do with capitalism

If you have another way besides laws and regulations that can force all actors in a market to not act according to their own free will, what is that thing called?
What sort of networking engineer? Could you post a short summary of his skills and experience?
That or just record what I've actually scrolled. Why would I archive content I've never seen?
Sorry, I was emphasizing "SASS" by capitalizing it, not trying to make it an acronym. Will fix.
Very likely not a biosphere because of the very extreme temperatures (for any type of life anyways, even extremophiles), but a lot of things we've discovered over the years used to be thought to be impossible too!

This solution only applies if you have a finite number of secretaries that is known at the start to interview. Anything else and the equations get freaky. You can also add probability distributions for how many interviewies you expect.
Depends what you want. I see a lot of both here on HN, advice going both ways. I'm confident we do a good job giving people options - the most important way is that I encourage people to make a habit of only spending 6-8 hours in the office a day, and if you want to work more than that, do it from home/coffee shop. That way, you're not sitting around feeling pressured to keep working when really you're done for the day. The founders obviously basically work all day, so we're always available, but I think it alleviates the pressure that I see felt at offices where everyone seems to stay late as a habit.

What I do when I get a new data set as told through tweets
Hilary Mason asked a super interesting question on Twitter and got great answers. I organized them a bit in a blog post.
Personally, I use 3 independent providers (Debian on all):

- prgmr.com ~$10/mo US.

- digitalocean.com ~$5/mo US.

- binarylane.com.au ~$5/mo Australia. SSD 512MB/20GB/100GB transfer. Very nice remote "console" access; takes a couple days to remove ssh/smtp egress filtering.

The ramnode.com OpenVZ-based RAID10 SSD-Cached service might give you the extra storage you need at a good price point.
External batteries probably work better for most. You just put it in your bag and don't have to bear all the shortcomings of the battery case. Might be a tad heavier and you have to do the extra step of plugging it in while in your bag but that's nothing compared to the alternative.
We are much more intelligent because we have efficient ways to interchange information. It allows us to use our collective intelligence. Our singular intelligence isn't that much more evolved. ("Intelligence is in our language")

Very interesting! To help give some context is it similar to Xamarin's approach but uses Javascript instead of C# as the base language?

Of course you could. You (an uninformed user, not a hacker) go to see what the notification you just got is about and tap on it. It's then only one more click to install.

Much easier and safer to have third party stuff disabled entirely.

I think there should be a way to install third party certificates for things like the amazon store, don't get me wrong, but it's a decent security feature for the uninformed masses.

Big science corporations have a lot of money to make off global warming. scientists are behind almost all the studies in global warming. so of course they are biased. not to mention even if it does exist it's only like 1 degree. I doubt my grandchildren will notice a 1 degree difference. i live in the Midwest. there was snow storms all winter. I wouldn't mind it being a little warmer. I don't think god would let that stuff happen anyway. Not to mention, C02 is good for plants, they breathe that stuff!

I was in SF recently. BART is awful.

BART to a restaurant took over an hour. 9 minute walk to the stop, 12 minute wait for the train, 30 minute train ride, 15 minute walk. Even in the best case scenario of 0 train time, that's 19 minutes of walking.

The restaurant had a huge wait, so I used Uber to get back to where I was staying. 1 minute wait, 19 minute drive.

The Uber trip cost $10 more than BART for two people. I don't know how you value your time, but $10 for 50 minutes of time for two people is always worth it.
Another thumbs up for Digital Ocean. They even have a web-based terminal in case you're not at a machine that has your SSH keys. I have one of their $5/month plans and it seems faster than my old AWS micro instance.

Also, check their twitter account. They often post coupon codes.

I'm confused. I agree it makes sense to have taxis available for hire occasionally, preferring them to private vehicles. How does this fact make Uber or Lyft unlike a taxi?

Unless, perhaps, your argument is that Uber is worse than a taxi, since the vehicle is still ultimately private?
It's a lack of leadership, and it's endemic to society. The Prisoner's Dilemma highlights this. Trust on both sides isn't the only Pareto optimal solution. A leader dictates the correct outcome and does not require trusting a subordinate's decision. If both sides were leaders, they would reach the optimal outcome.

Elon Musk is one of the few leaders in the world.
it's a shame for such a distinguished person to make such an amateur mistake - point 10 is indeed answerable:

1. people who put the milk in first have become adept at adding exactly the right amount of milk to a cup of any size. It's a ubiquitous skill, learnt virtually as soon as the person begins drinking tea in this (proper) way. Orwell was clearly inexperienced.

2. adding the milk last requires simultaneous stirring to correctly assess the tea's consistency. This wasteful and complicated activity is not required when the milk is added first, as the milk is evenly mixed with the tea by the pouring process itself. This saves considerable time.

3. adding the milk to an already boiling cup of tea burns the milk, ruining the flavour of the tea.

However, a true tea lover would never soil their tea by adding milk in the first place.
Really? You can't walk a few minutes, so BART sucks?

BART does suck, but for entirely different reasons. Its dirty, worn, loud, pretty much like riding in a cattle car with extra smells.
I understand why they do it, but I think they're doing themselves a disservice. It's one thing to speak in jargon and wrongly assume your audience will follow you:

"So this is obviously a catamorphism. This evidently a job for Kleisli arrows!".

And a completely different thing is to construct a solution step by step, using familiar ideas, and then show that it can be seen as a monad, then give a brief explanation of why monads are useful and what motivates them. Which is exactly what the extremely didactic Learn you a Haskell site does (seriously: look at their example for the Writer Monad. It doesn't get more didactic and step-by-step than that)

By avoiding the correct technical terms, they are:

- Losing precision.

- Failing to generalize the concept.

- Underestimating their audience's ability to understand new concepts when property explained.

The last one in particular kills me. I for one do not assume Visual Basic programmers are incapable or unwilling to learn new things.
Priceline to Buy OpenTable in Deal Valued at $2.6 Billion
Kimsufi (which is a "budget" dedicated server brand from OVH) is great, just don't download movies/music from public trackers like thepiratebay. A few DMCAs and they'll shut you down. Private trackers are fine (not Demonoid tho, if that's still even a thing). Foreign movies/music/anime from public(-ish) trackers should be fine. I used to host a huge FTP repository that was only accessible from my university's campus network there and never had any problems. Please be aware though that Kimsufi uses really cheap hard drives (Maxtor) that have a tendency to fail under high load (torrents). I ran a ZFS mirror across multiple drives, so wasn't much of an issue for me. Just don't get a server with only one drive and no backups.
