So my advice will be be proud of yourself , the basic is not having charisma but make people thinking you have it.

Learn things , works with people and interact with them.

Find things that you like and work for free for peoples or associations.

Also learn things , live fully, make experiences (as urbex you can do it by solo). Living extraordinary things will help you to get in touch with people, or people who share the same experience.

Find hobby and share also.

It will not be easy , but you will learn from your mistakes.

I wish you good like and if you come to paris drop me an email bussiere AT gmail.com :)

I can make you visit some extra ordinary places or event :)
good luck dam
This is a handy tool, and better than other code searches I've seen.
Top US patent judge resigns following “ethical breach”
Aside from sarcasm, which invites opposition, I think you've touched on a taboo subject. I think what you say is true. At the same time I'd wager that a disproportionate number of founders have bipolar 2 tendencies, which will provide fuel and context to depressive episodes. If both are true, it becomes very tricky to determine cause. It becomes easier to focus on those potential causes which are outside our control, that depression is something that happens "to" us. Of course this is often the case where there is a medical issue, but as you point out, it is also often a result of circumstances and our reaction to them. Or even more confusingly of course, both.

Getting back to the original comment and how it was received, at the beginning of your comment you make a claim that is going to be controversial. From that point on, any introduction of sarcasm will push anyone not allied with your view towards open hostility.
I have knowledge, and opinions, but like I said: no allegiance. I feel partisanship is pointless, and because I have zero influence on US politics, I remain on the sidelines observing rather than leaning one way or another.
TBH, as soon as I saw the change from a Wacom digitizer to N-Trig's I cringed. I don't know what differences there are between the technologies they each use, but Wacom's is definitely more responsive on the whole. I like that they aren't using a 16:9 aspect ratio for the screen, but the switch away from Wacom kept me from making the Surface an automatic purchase.

I'm not sure it's entirely designed for that purpose, though that does seem both an obvious and relatively easy application of this concept. Instead, I think they purposefully made it a little more generalized so it could be applied to a lot of different spaces. For example, I can see how this framework, or at least the concepts that it implements, could be used in a decentralized social networking application...as some of these same concepts we implemented a long time ago in DIASPORA* and Tent.
The beauty of this approach is that it frees up window managers from managing desktop spaces and instead allows you to manage windows and the relation of the windows relative to other windows. Being freed of borders and boundaries presents amazing opportunities. Defining things in absolute space is very confining. Defining things in relativistic space, gives you the opportunity to move into multi-view/multi-screen modes with multiple participants much more easily. It's not longer about desktops, but about taskspaces.

I don't want to say "put window A on the lefthand side of the desktop and put window B on the righthand side of the desktop." Instead I want to be able to say "put A to the left of B in when mode X" or "put C on top of D when performing task Y."

It's simply much more natural and more intuitive to tell the computer where your focus should be (or if the focus should be split equally between 2 or more windows), and then defining all the peripheral windows that should appear around the focused window. Ideally these wouldn't even separate windows, but simply a rectangular stream of pixels from the buffers of your choice, so that the same application could be multiplexed to layout modes. This would basically be tmux for windows/apps in 3D space.

A prolog-like declarative language with relations and predicates for describing windows and how they are organized relative to one another under variable conditions would be awesome. Type one command to switch to the window you want to have focus in the center of your screen. Once that window is in place, bring into focus the last used "mode" for that window, with all the peripheral windows coming in from behind you or zooming in from the back (time machine style, but with your primary focused window held constant). Then you can activate switching between modes with another key stroke combination.
Pure randomness doesn't need physicality. The expansion of Omega, Chaitin's constant, is random. There is no model, program, or equation, that can predict the next bit.

Perhaps its possible the universe could be run on a cellular automata that is unpredictable in the same way. Is say, radioactive decay, truly random, or just can't be predicted by any program shorter than the underlying cellular automata process itself.

The fact that we can model the universe at all and predict parts of it at various scales -- that math works at all for physics -- is either remarkable, or perhaps required in any universe capable of intelligent life. :) Perhaps in a universe that is incomprehensible otherwise, evolution would not select for intelligence.

Most people will "squander" their time in the sense that they'll never accomplish anything that contributes meaningfully to society. That's totally okay. Like beat said, society is advanced mostly by a small minority of highly talented individuals.

What's not okay is when members of this small minority, who have the potential to do great things, instead remain stuck in poverty.

Ask HN: Finding roommates in (south) bay area?
If you're a new-grad moving to the bay area for a new job and shopping for apartments, you most likely (a) don't know many people in the area and (b) want a roommate to lower rent. More so, there are probably hundreds other people in the same exact situation!

So, if you've been such a person (as I am now!), what have you found to be the best way of finding roommates?

Thanks :)
Thanks! Appreciate the solid feedback. Will you shoot me an email with more information about #3? kesler@freelanceinbox.com
I'm sure that this isn't for events that need serious security. This is for smaller gatherings where there just needs to be a few security guards present in case there's a fight.

If you need real security, you would probably use a much more expensive service.
Show HN: Watch for Rust development
She didn't get around to critiquing his theory, just the over-use of it.

And her summary didn't include the theory's essence: that incumbents are captured by their present customers - even when they are 100% on top of the coming tech, they can't desert them, and can't see the new customers (which, to be fair, don't strictly exist yet).

I think his key background evidence is pretty strong: that technology improves faster than we can absorb it e.g. PCs are now faster than they need to be for most tasks. Although we do demand more of our PCs, they have improved at an even faster rate. This relates to the above theory in that we now that they are fast enough, we are willing to pay for some other quality - like portability. For businesses that have worked at improving the technology along the dimension that was in demand for a long time (e.g. speed), they have organized everything around this - R&D, manufacturing, marketing, positioning, sales, partnerships, even their release schedule. They are optimized for getting better at that dimension and selling that dimension. So.... when that dimension is no longer in demand, all their optimization works against them. It's difficult to change emphasis, both for engineering and marketing.

Right now, Intel - the inventor of the CPU (and of the integrated circuit, can you believe it?) - is putting its truly incredible resources, knowledge, talent, skill and market position into more power-efficient CPUs (instead of higher-performing) for smartphones.

Have just installed the Dev Channel version of IE11 and noted that the dev channel version contains additional ticks for:

Input (was 5/20, now 7/20)
* Gamepad control

Storage (was 26/30, now 30/30)
* Database storage
- Objectstore Blob support
- Objectstore ArrayBuffer support

So, previous IE 11 score: 372/555, IE 11 Dev Channel score: 378/555.
Thank you very much. Unfortunately the job is of such a nature that I won't be able to use this but the pointer is much appreciated.

This registry isn't authoritative, just centralized.

You register your bike there, and if it gets stolen tell the registry it was stolen, then police and potential purchasers find it listed when consulting the centralized registry.

If you look at my posting history you'll see that I tend to agree with your sentiment. Too much negativity on HN and I combat it where I can.

But "lightweight" JS fetishism at the expense of correctness (and the arrogance that comes with it!) is an epidemic in the frontend web business today. I think it's important to highlight this when it happens so we can stop making crappy web apps and start to actually deliver reasonable experiences when compared to native.

If they offered the ability to pay by the month, it'd probably be better. Putting down $500 bucks on something up front is difficult.
This is most likely for things like house parties and large gatherings of people. You decide you want to throw a New Years pash at your condo? You're probably not worried about small things getting stolen, since you can lock up your main room, but rather people getting drunk and getting into fights.

The presence of one or two large bouncers will probably make someone think twice.

Furthermore, the company is probably taking a decent cut, I'd (random guess) say between 10-20/hour, giving the bouncer about $20/hr. These events most likely run at night, on Fridays and Saturdays, for 4-8 hours max. That means that most likely, bouncers are doing this for some extra cash, not necessarily as their primary source of income.
Sure, but the issue in this case isn't about rights or governance, it's about local issues caused by non-local individuals. Vancouver has a similar issue, where the drinking/clubbing/partying district, Granville Street in the heart of Vancouver's downtown, is a huge destination for partygoers from all over the region; not just Vancouver, but outlying cities and suburbs as well; a city of around 600k has to take on the responsibility of hosting the drunks, clubgoers, partiers, concertgoers, etc. of a region of 2.8m people, and many of those party people live and work outside of the city, pay taxes outside of the city, pay rent outside of the city, and only come downtown to party.

That results in an increased cost of policing the area (since all drinking and clubbing establishments are forced together), the increased cost of cleaning (everything from garbage and smashed bottles to a surprising amount of vomit), increased regulation, transportation congestion, medical care, etc.

It also results in a neighbourhood which goes from a mostly pedestrian mall-esque area full of shops and boutiques to a shitshow where you might get punched for no reason (as happened to a friend's boyfriend as they were walking home from the movie theatre; shattered his jaw, which had to be wired shut).

The problem isn't necessarily 'outsiders are bad', but rather that these people come downtown, drink, have a good time (or a bad time), but feel no responsibility for the area. They don't have to walk through it after a bad night to get to work and see the catastrophe they caused, so they may never realize the social and economic impact of bad behaviour. If it were their mailbox kicked open or their doorstep puked on or their neighbour hospitalized, it might encourage more restraint, or at least more consideration, but unfortunately that's not usually the case.

I think that's generally the problem with the 'drinking district' in a lot of cities; people from everywhere but there go there to party and have fun, and if they don't, they cause problems and then head on home, lost in the crowd, and probably don't even remember it the next day.
Particularly in so related a space.
Not to mention that it will protect the data at rest in the DB, where storing crypto keys on the server is as bad as plain text because they can just be harvested from wherever you store them... Obviously. Now, if your server is compromised then the attacker can deliver JS to the client, but the client needs to load the page and decrypt their data for this to apply; the attacker can't just wholesale steal all your data.
Which string are you talking about? Also, which OS/browser are you using?

> While I believe this (the luck part), I'm not sure most startup folks do.

Probably because it's not exactly true. The whole point of all that data is to see which aspects of a business work and which parts don't. The author is describing pivots a bit hyperbolically for the sake of drama/artistic license, but it's not like the C-level executives pivot by rolling the dice and seeing what they come up with. A successful pivot works by observing which parts work, dropping the parts that don't work, and building up the parts that people like.

This is one of the reasons software patents are dumb imo; they don't actually share sufficient details to implement the idea any more easily.

In other fields, such as mechanical engineering, patents are required to describe an invention in enough detail that a person "skilled in the art" could reproduce it.

In the field of software, the patent merely has to describe the invention (software) well enough that it can be identified, not written. To match other fields, where it's common to require essentially full bluprints, it would make sense to require working source code (if only a reference implementation) for any software patent.

As is, the patenter "gifts" the public with the knowledge of an idea which is rarely in itself useful; the source code could at least be potentially useful.
But as soon as you start caring about who gets the licenses, you have to create a set of criteria, and people will have a hard time choosing them.

The old politician from the old part of town will argue for historical precedent; the younger, hipper politician might argue that new applicants should be given higher priorities; etc. As soon as you start trying to decide, you start deadlocking and someone gets screwed.

As it is now, all you need is money, rather than money and a friend on the council.
1) it would only work with the turning rod blinds, I know is not much but is a start. I would like to get more into home automation, and I though I should start with this.

2)I had hire someone for video that's about it, and the same person fix the English in the bio. I had designed the product myself and printed out with my 3D printer, I been doing PCB manufacture with companies in china, so that's very easy the plastic molding would be something new for me, if the project would get funded I would hire someone to take care of all the business part and I would take care of the manufacture, since thats the part I enjoy more.

Gullwing doors seem really awkward and create more problems than they solve (low garage roofs, ski racks etc). I hope they are an option, rather than standard.
Sorry, I didn't really understand the parents as that. I guess a more on topic reason might be:

They can barely manage a team of their own engineers to get this product out. Throwing more guys at it isn't going to help necessarily. Not without significantly more overhead and more managers. I think mystical man month definitely still applies to open source projects as well.

that and microsoft is just not good at managing open source. And I can't imagine anyone would want to work on the windows kernel without being paid to do so >_>
None of those points have anything to do with the number of taxis and everything to do with regulation of the taxis that exist; perhaps that's a limitation of their ability to regulate and enforce, but that should be the bottleneck preventing taxis from staying on the road. That is to say, the answer to 'we can't enforce all these taxis' isn't 'let's enforce no taxis'.

I see... I guess one possible solution would be to make liquor licenses non-transferable, and then only issue them to businesses that are not located close to some threshold of other license holders.

Calibrating those thresholds to not generate more traffic (as people barhop with cabs instead of walking between bars) and to not kill the nightlife completely would probably proof challenging though.
It's more or less like the home button on an iPhone or iPad. Gestures are good, but there are scenarios where you can't easily use them or a novice user won't know about them. The Start button doesn't always show up in Desktop scenarios.

Well, yes, mathematicians like to be very precise about exactly what a very general abstraction entails, to the point where you are being very precise about how two almost entirely different concepts have almost but not quite nothing in common.

These fine distinctions don't belong in code meant for a general audience. Instead, don't try to generalize so much. It's not important (and in fact it's confusing) that replaceEach can be generalized to work with a parser. Parsers can have a different function with its own name and nobody needs to know that it's sort of the same concept.
> If we as a society can't aggregate our desires effectively enough to avoid a market failure (e.g. to fund a public good, like a highway system [0]), why should we expect to be able to aggregate our desires effectively enough to give legal authority to an organization to use violence to avoid a market failure?

What if the problem isn't inability to effectively aggregate desires, its inability to redistribute externalized cost to reflect those aggregated desires absent an entity with the particular set of features to which we give the name "government"? It seems to me that you've constructed a false (and rather unusual) notion of the source of market failure designed specifically to rebut the argument that government can be a solution to market failure.
Excellent, thank you for your insight and your patient answers.
Yes, but did the management of the team realize the above, and did that manager make sure the team would work to produce good results in this area?
