From another article on the front page of HN today[1]:

"I believe our unfortunate heritage with capitalism, and our steadily decreasing trust in other Americans, is exactly how we end up with these intractable tragedy of the commons-type situations, where no individual party is willing to be vulnerable enough to move toward cooperative solutions in lieu of safe, selfish solutions. The longer this cultural feedback loop persists, the harder it becomes for any one party to make any meaningful move toward a Pareto optimal solution without inviting an equal-but-opposite increase in skepticism toward the first mover. And it's been persisting in this direction for quite some time. This explains, at the very least, why rampant partisanship is an inevitability in a large Democracy, despite it being worse off for everybody (including politicians themselves).

Essentially Uber and Lyft are moves toward a Nash Equilibrium solution, each person cynically and selfishly optimizing on the assumption that everyone else is cynically and selfishly optimizing.

I'm surprised that utility doesn't come in here anywhere. Imagine a bimodal distribution, one set of matches that you hate, and a much smaller set of matches that you love. Why try to wait for the best after the first 1/e? Why not just pair off with someone that is 99% as good as #1?

Yes I think evolution is a theory.

A good scientist knows other theories may come and change the landscape. So you need to keep an open mind.

That's why I posted the link to the theory of the deep fountains. I think it's a good theory explaining some events in the past.

Is it true? I don't know. But we also have no proof for evolution. But the theory of evolution works very well to explain a lot.

The only science that has proof is math.

(I'm not a creationist by the way)

it does give you a 36.8 percent chance

My understanding is that this also give you 36.8% of not finding a wife at all because the best one is in the learning set. So 36.8% chance of success (picking the best one), 36.8% chance of no wife and 26.4% chance of picking the wrong one. I suppose there are different algorithms for different types of bachelors. Bachelors working under marry-or-lo-your-inheritance conditions are better off using different algorithms.

Using this method on a population of 100 prospective wives, what are the probabilities that: (1) you will pick the best wife (2) you will pick a wife in the top 3.

Thinking of this problem and eating a fun-blog level understanding of them is one of those things that give you "mental thinking models" of the Charlie Munger kind. Very useful.

You write a cookie to the client containing some random key and associate that key to the user on your backend in the shared db. Since it's just random data, you don't need to sign or encrypt the cookie and SSL takes care of protecting it in transport.
I don't remember trying ZNC, but the problem with all the irc bouncers I've used before was that it wasn't neatly integrated to the irc client. If you're using screen+irssi, everything works exactly like you would expect. With irc bouncers you have various issues, e.g. when you connect all the channels need to send 2000+ rows of backlog for every channel, which is pretty inefficient.
Looks like the way CMS systems such as Wordpress reduced the barrier to entry into placing stuff on the web empowering content creators to publish material without much technical work is about to happen again in the web development.
Computer scientist here

It seems to me that there are 2 types of "Computer Scientist"

One with a more traditional education, including all the tech subjects, plus all the college level math (3 or 4 calculus, 3 or 4 algebras, discrete mathematics, differential equations, etc). I am in this group.

And then the more... I don't know how to call it... "modern education" maybe? which is very light in the math side, and very focus in implementation of the technical side

Computer science is not about computers, nor is a science. But it is about the process of information transformation. While the book shows some of that in Python, a single language is not enough to "Think like a Computer Scientist", what is worse it helps perpetuate a false impression of what a computer scientist do.

Applied Python would be a better title
I think you mean the liquid part, not the fungible part.
Yeah, I think they're a few years late to the party on this one. Nokia's low-end are also pretty inexpensive (http://www.walmart.com/ip/AT-T-GoPhone-Nokia-Lumia-520-Pre-p...).
Well, yes. Before they bought it up, Rockstar was a menace to everybody. Even before Rockstar, Nortel was calling firms up for licenses, and everyone knew what was coming when the patents went on the auction block. By making the winning bid, MS, Apple et al successfully managed to reduce their own liability.

Now, in a fair competition, that should give them an advantage over others who failed to manage their risks. But the way everyone here behaves, people expect them to just let things lie, effectively footing the bill for the rest of the industry. How's that fair?
The milk in a latte is typically gradually heated to its temperature, whereas when cold milk is added to hot tea, it changes temperature rapidly. This causes the Maillard Reaction, fundamentally changing its flavour. This is like the difference between cooking a steak at immediately high temperature vs gradually increasing temperature. Same resulting temperature but one is delicious and the other is brown and floppy.

Who is assuming that "system is against me" victim position you're talking about? I don't see it.

People do what they can in their position. Spontaneous organization leading to system change happens, but it's spontaneous.

Maybe you're imagining some kind of movie montage set to 80s bad disco music, where a guy Decides to Make a Movement, and a movement gets assembled and in the end we get a wide shot with hundreds of thousands of people doing system changy thingies, but reality usually doesn't work this way.

You can't just decide this, especially if you're a ~60 years old network engineer. Deciding to build a life abroad at that age is also quite unlikely.

I think if I went to Germany having only been to Western Europe I'd have found people in Berlin unfriendly, but having lived in London, spent time in Budapest, Vienna, across Germany and Prague (the home of poor service) I can honestly say that yes people are unfriendly in Berlin, but less unfriendly than in some other parts of Germany and Eastern Europe.

The main problem with elevators today is that you can only have on cage per shaft. You could solve this if you could have multiple cages per shaft. A bit like how trains operate with switches and passing points. I imagine that would take some serious technical development but doesn't seem entirely out of this world. It would be easier if you have cableless lifts like the maglev lift Toshiba developed (http://www.toshiba-elevator.co.jp/elv/infoeng/technology/tec...).

For optimum performance (especially games), you have to understand Javascript garbage collection pretty well; basically create all your objects up front in some sort of cache, to avoid stutter during GC. It's not impossible, but an annoyance that you only really have to worry about on mobile platforms (due to more limited resources).
To be fair it's been too long, about two years. I'm hoping to go back later this year though.
Domain name search with regular expressions and curated sets
There is a choice of whether to use free software or not. The choice is made, in part, on perceived quality including robustness of the maintenance and release process.

And people make these evaluations by talking about them on the internet. That's how it works, that's what we're doing.

There are other considerations, like cost-of-switch and availability of suitable alternatives, sure.

But we talk about this all on the internet. Same as 'demanding' that someone fix heartbleed or other bugs in OpenSSL for us. Nobody has to do anything, but there is a point at which people will start looking for alternatives if things aren't done. And people talk about what that point is on the internet.
If your text editor works better than PyCharm, then by all means use that instead. However, the article is actually trying to make some point about what an IDE can do that text editors can't so perhaps you'd want to respond to that?

> Maybe everyone needs only 2% of the feature set, and a different 2%, but we all have to pay for the bloat anyway.

This is not a useful mental model for thinking about software. First, big doesn't equal bloated, and one thing my IntelliJ IDEA fanboy colleagues highlight is just how sleek, light weight and fast it is, especially compared with Eclipse (we're in Java land). Second, if everybody only uses 2% of the package, then basic price theory tells us that everybody is only paying for those 2%. (I think, in reality, the number is significantly higher, although I agree that probably nobody uses 100% of the features).
Orwell is silly. You want your tea strong? Certainly. You want your tea pure, tasting like tea? Definitely. You want your tea bitter? ... While I can appreciate that for anyone who has to deal with the exigencies of war and rationing there is no real alternative, really good tea, made from the better parts of the tea plant, is not bitter even when exceptionally strong. It does, however, taste wonderfully of tea.

I made a move around 10 years ago. My needs were simple - email and html. But where I was going was hardly internet friendly.

I may get a kicking for saying this, and it may not be your need but may fit the needs of some other HN users viewing this (shared hosting options often get criticised); I have found Dreamhost, over these 10 years, able to consistently work well for my three needs: IMAP, SSH and hosting HTML files (FTP too). They're sufficiently big to stay in business, while sufficiently small to fly under the radar of country or corporate based firewalls.

These days I have a DigitalOcean instance. Maintaining a server securely is a full time job. You seem OK with that - a lot of people may not be - so just dropping this 'droplet' in with the mix.
That article has a lot of details without actually describing how the reaction is achieved. You say its by rapid heating instead of gradual heating. So a latte is safe. Have to get the word out to barristas nationwide, since I have to explain to every one that nothing bad is going to happen to my latte.
Yet another Digital Ocean customer. I've got nothing but good things to say about them. I also have a box on linode which have been excellent as well.

Digital Ocean does bill per hour which is a nice plus if you want to test things on different OSes for a short time.
But when you use CocoaTouch you can only deploy to Apple devices. When there's only one platform to target it's hardly surprising that it's easier to work with.
Disclaimer: I think civil forfeiture laws are applied without sufficient discretion in drug cases. And it's troubling that they apply not just to illegally-obtained assets, but those that are "instrumentality of a crime." That said, there's an important wrinkle here that you're glossing over, and that is usually glossed over in discussions about civil forfeiture.

Civil forfeiture is not confiscation of your property as punishment for committing a crime. It's a determination that the property was never yours to begin with, because it was obtained in an illegal transaction.[1] That's why the standard for civil forfeiture isn't whether the person is guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt" but rather whether the property is the fruits of a crime by the "preponderance of the evidence." Any civil dispute over the rightful ownership of property is evaluated according to a preponderance of the evidence standard, and the dispute about the status of the property can be resolved without resolving the issue of criminal guilt.

The very important distinction to make here is that the issue of whether Ulbricht is guilty is distinct from whether the money is the proceeds of illegal activity. Maybe Ulbricht gets acquitted because he creates enough reasonable doubt that he isn't DPR, as he claims. Or because he succeeds in getting key evidence excluded because of a procedural failure by the feds. His acquittal doesn't mean that the money wasn't the product of illegal activity. Indeed, he has tremendous incentive to try and prove that he never owned these Bitcoins, because that goes to proving he isn't DPR!

[1] At least when we're talking about cash. There's a whole host of more questionable issues when it comes to things like forfeiture of vehicles and guns used in crimes. See: http://scholarworks.gsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1459... see also: http://ij.org/pennsylvania-judge-calls-civil-asset-forfeitur... (for a particularly egregious example).
... the best way to proceed is to interview (or date) the first 36.8 percent of the candidates. Don't hire (or marry) any of them, but as soon as you meet a candidate who's better than the best of that first group — that's the one you choose! Yes, the Very Best Candidate might show up in that first 36.8 percent — in which case you'll be stuck with second best, but still, if you like favorable odds, this is the best way to go.

Maybe I haven't had enough coffee this morning. Can someone explain how you would get second best in this case? Wouldn't you never meet a candidate better than the best of that first group and exhaust the rest of the candidates?

You are not required to use models in Backbone, especially for such a trivial example. You aren't using an equivalent of models in the vanilla JS example. You aren't required to listen to change events to render anything.

Here is a simple Backbone view doing an equivalent to what the vanilla JS example is doing:

@2 Not really a coherent argument there. Hoarding due to appreciation is balanced by the wealth effect. You can't just assume catastrophic runaway feedback due to upward price trends. That kind of human behavior is unknowable a priori. One could easily argue that an upward price trend will encourage buying, which increases adoption. This creates a feedback loop, which will help establish a transaction volume large enough to give bitcoin enough stability to appeal to the average person.
How has your experience been with Cloudatcost? I obviously don't realistically expect my server to be around forever, but it would be nice to get a feel for how stable things have been to decide if it's worth it.

It's getting better with each release. First startup consumes a lot of memory, because PyCharm does a lot of indexing
The question is irrelevant.

The moment I transfer a bitcoin to Silk Road, it's no longer my bitcoin. It's theirs. I've exchanged it for a promise from Silk Road to pass on the bitcoin to someone else or return it to me when I ask.

The government never seized my bitcoin. They seized Silk Road's bitcoin. This means Silk Road has more liabilities than assets. And since Silk Road hasn't given me a promissory note in exchange for my bitcoin, I'm an unsecured general creditor - and unsecured general creditors cannot establish standing to recover seized assets.
I only listen to good songs, though?

What a dilemma!
No, you're right. You will be stuck with the last one, not the second-best one.
I myself am quite happy with DomainFactory's JiffyBox Service (http://www.df.eu/). They have recent Debian and Ubuntu images and you pay per 0.02Euros/Hour (smallest box, 3 cores 2gb ram 75gb hdd), which amounts to about 15Euros a month. They also claim not to have a traffic limit :D

PS: Just saw that their website is apparently not available in english. my bad :(
Different standards of evidence, I guess. To be jailed for something, the standard of evidence is higher than to confiscate money gotten through that same thing.
Well, of course frameworks add more boilerplate when you compare small problems. You get the benefits of a framework only after your application scales.

My biggest problem with the JetBrains IDE is that it scatters file turds through your project; making it a pain for developers to use source control without generating random conflicts. An IDE's files have no reason to be version controlled in every project (nor should a project require every developer to use the same IDE).

If they had a sane way to keep IDE files in a single top level project directory, I would be much happier.

Also - I met my wife and continued to date but returned to her, because obviously it would have been futile to try to beat what she had going on. So you don't have to be a slave to the algorithm.
The absence of evidence is not proof of the contrary. I am an atheist and I laud your dedication to evidence based reason, but don't go overboard and ignore things many people believe are true, often they do for a reason.

That said, if there never was such a flood there would likely be evidence that it never happened.

I am not saying that you are a creationist,but I am saying that everyone shouting "evolution is just a theory!!" is almost universally wrong.

>>But we also have no proof for evolution.

Then you must have missed a lot of pretty much everything going in science in the last ~300 years. If ancient bones are not "scientific" enough for you, look at bacteria, which evolve(yes,evolve, not magically change due to divine intervention) in a space of days,not millennia.
