I work at Kiva Systems as a software engineer, located north of Boston. We do a lot of work with robotics and Amazon scale web service development and we are hiring. Check it out at: http://www.kivasystems.com/careers-at-kiva/

Looks cool but I'm curious how it stacks up against services like Carbonite (for example) that actively monitor and look for changed files. If I update my archive/folder/etc that I want on deepfreeze, do I have to upload it myself or will that be done automatically?
I remember this article when if first came out. Of all the weirdness outlined, one item, which wasn't even part of the main story and added as a bit of color detail, stated:

"Sullivan first worked with Singer in the early Nineties. One case involved a woman posing as a psychologist, who had persuaded several of her male clients to undergo sex-reassignment surgery. (The men later alleged that they had been brainwashed.)"

That is a level of brainwashing that I wouldn't have even believed was possible.
Interesting - thats the most compelling part and it looks like they missed highlighting that completely on the landing page.
To me, too, this is the biggest argument in favor of avoiding specific fads and eating "real" food, there's been too many reversals of x is good / x is bad in the recent decades to try to even pretend we know. (not to mention there are still new phytochemicals being found in fruits and vegetables all the time, things we wouldn't even know to artificially add in things like soylent)
There's already a node module https://www.npmjs.org/package/spotify-api

No code of course, just name-hoarding. FOSS can be really ugly sometimes.
The problem with FlatBuffers and Cap'n Proto is that while in-memory rep matching serialization formats are much faster (infinitely faster as Cap'n Proto says tongue in cheek) for languages with unsafe direct memory access (like C/C++), they're actually slower and more cumbersome to use in any language without unsafe direct memory access (like Java, Rust, Python, Go, JavaScript/Node, Swift and... well, most languages).

The other problem is that Google tends to release random stuff as open source and then modify it (breaking BC) or abandon it without regard for the people who are using it.

So caveat emptor, I guess.
That's not true. Client side encryption allows the server to never have to touch user-generated content, which makes defense against subpoenas (and certainly blanket wiretapping) more feasible. It doesn't defend against the NSA who want to target a particular individual, but it's better than storing all content encrypted with the same known key, or storing it unencrypted.
I've had a 512GB OCZ Vertex 4 for almost 2 years. Depending on the OS used, you should be able to automatically put more valuable fast-changing user specific data on a HDD, while keeping your system and apps on a SSD. I did that for Windows 7, and everything has been great.

Ask HN: Upgrade Car Navigation Button
I recently purchased a Mazda CX-9, and while it has a NAV button, it doesn't actually have Nav (IT's just Nav Ready), I'd like to find a way to use that button for something else, OR even find a way to add a alternate mapping program into the actual head unit (so basically keep everything stock, just change software), I understand I may need to add a GPS receiver to the unit (although I don't know the details on that just yet). Does anyone have any links/tips that would help me go about this project? Will I need to tear up the dashboard to get to the unit and mess with it, or is it accessible via other means?
In http://www.thefreedictionary.com/include all this is clarified, the botton line or golden rule of usage (edited).

Some writers insist that include be used only when it is followed by a partial list of the contend of the reference of the subject. This restriction is too strong. The use of comprise or consist of will avoid ambiguity when a listing is meant to be exhaustive.
No, it's not a backup solution (even though it could be used as a secondary "backup" storage). Carbonite, Backblaze and the rest are much better at this.

But it's good if you don't want to keep files in your primary storage (i.e. your HDD) that backup services will see. A "cloud external disk" in a way.

Yes, but providers don't have much choice in that case. (also because the company has to follow local law) But with all available interconnects, there are many places in Europe where you could open a datacentre and not have to deal with GCHQ requests. It's not the case about every spy agency with every company - it's about specifically US companies like Facebook / Google and GCHQ.
We use git based roll back and deployments at work. It works fantastic, but this looks like a very nice interface on top. the database versioning would be extremely useful. Definitely highlight that at the top of the page as someone else already mentioned in this thread.

Have you considered adding support for wp-cli commands with this. That would make automating some of the tasks very nice.
Yeah, that's more or less how I read it.

I just wanted to make it clear that I was agreeing with you on the general statement, not on the possible interpretation that the things you name are the typical things one should think of of in relation to women.

WP Rocket: Caching Plugin for WordPress
You're right, but at the same time the level of abstraction it offers over spoken language is one of the reasons for the historic success of logographic writing. For example, in Chinese history it allowed mutually unintelligible dialects to more easily exchange information in writing, and it isolated orthography from shifts in pronunciation to a greater degree than possible with phonographic scripts. I feel like emoji have some similar properties along these lines, but of course also their own set of problems (specific visualizations can become dated, for example).

A fair bunch of Chinese characters are also actually pictographic (they're an image of something) or ideographic (they represent an abstract idea, not a morpheme or word) in origin, if not current usage.

This stuff - synergies and conflicts between writing systems and various media - fascinates me. Chinese writing for example now suffers from the problem that if your medium doesn't allow free-form painting/graphical compositing (like our computers largely don't right now) you can't easily coin new logograms, since you need a central registry that's slow to distribute to leaf nodes (cf. Unicode). So what's happening now is that new words get coined by recombining existing characters based on their sound value, adding a phonographic layer on top. And of course inputting Chinese has also become dependent on auxiliary systems like pinyin-based IMEs.

Meanwhile, the Korean Hangul alphabet has the interesting property that some of the letters graphically derive from each other with consistent patterns of "take this, add a stroke and you get this", making it easier to design keyboards with reduced numbers of buttons to enter combos. There's the theory that this contributed to the success of texting/mobile in Korea, and is a contributing reason for the healthy mobile industry there.

I'm getting far from the original topic with this rambling, but it still reads on it in one sense: There's a lot of variety to writing systems, and it's worth thinking about emoji as a spot on the spectrum instead of in isolation.

What 'secret laws' are you talking about? No such thing exists in the UK, at least. Is there not a similar process for creating legislation publicly in the USA?
You're right, but the 'eat like a caveman to stay healthy like a caveman' is exactly what paleo-proponents use for argument.

What I meant was that you can't draw any 1:1 conclusions to the diet-to-health relation of cavemen compared to our diet-health relation. As always, people find it hard to understand that correlation is not the same as causation.
The $5 Logo
Here is the deal, we simply haven't had the time to determine if this is safe. And anyone who says it is is lying, because that's simply impossible to tell at this point. We know that with our best intentions and cutting edge science, we created margarine, something to save the arteries of the world. Only to find out that we didn't understand the science well enough, and margarine was essentially the stuff causing the problem. So, am I willing to use people as an experiment so they don't have a vitamin deficiency? Not yet. I want to see far more evidence, and I want to see a lot more studies conducted over at least 10-20 years.
A slight spin on that assumption that I've seen in some lean startup materials is to assume that "software delivery is constant and guaranteed" - which is used to help move the identification of risk away from technology and towards the business viability.

In that case, I think it is somewhat useful, but speaking as a software developer - it is very rarely the case that a software project goes as smoothly and reliably as a fancy pitch deck makes it out to be. It is easy to say things like "small iterations", "continuous delivery", "move fast", etc but much harder to, you know, do them. Any old team thrown together off the street is not going to have that skillset to achieve that.

I don't think it entirely discounts the ideas or concepts, but I certainly gives me pause.

To point 1, Minecraft chews memory and processor for breakfast. I understand that some of the larger server have thousands of players logged in simultaneously over huge areas in a minecraft world, so I can imagine 4-5 digit hosting bills.

To point 2, you're hosting a server with lots of attention, one that is DDoS friendly, and you've got the eyes of lots of young technical people. In the world of one-click DDoS, I don't doubt it can pose an issue quickly.
> That may have been why copyright was created, but over time, the justification has evolved, at least in Europe, into one based on the moral rights of the author.

It's interesting that you bring this up, as in many European countries, moral rights of the author are explicitly separate from copyright:

You can assign copyrights, but not moral rights. I believe that distinction stems from France, but I'm familiar with it from Norway, and variations of it is widespread throughout Europe.

For example, you typically have a legal right to have your name on a work, regardless of copyright. You also typically have a legal right to have your name removed from the work if alterations are made that affects the integrity of it, or that may be detrimental to the creators reputation (e.g. imagine someone deciding to alter key sentences in your political treatise to make it mean the opposite of your original), again irrespective of copyright.

So the protection of a creators moral rights does in Europe explicitly not require a wider interpretation of copyright.
As I'm working on a very similar problem right now, the difficulty is that to save the fitted sklearn model you have to pickle it (pickled decent size random forest are several megabytes). Then, at classification time, you have to import pickle, sklearn (and numpy), depickle the object, run the example through the classifier and extract the output. Perhaps the Openscoring model is more efficient?

When I last looked at Emacs, the package systems were what really turned me off the most and made me stick to Vim. I really like the "Vundle workflow" where I simply list dependencies in my .vimrc and I can selectively update them or install them all at once. It appeared to me that if I wanted to rely on the Emacs package system, every time I install Emacs on a new machine, I would have to not only copy over my .emacs.d, but also run through the package manager and remember all my desired plugins then mark all them individually installation.

Is there a better way?
Plants are vary region specific, and banana's are far easer to cultivate in some areas than just about anything else. It also far less costly to distribute seeds than what the seeds make. More importantly, once you swap DNA your done it's a one time cost with no further development needed.

PS: Bananas will grow and fruit under poor soil conditions but will be less productive without deep, well-drained soil; forest loam, rocky sand, marl, red laterite, volcanic ash, sandy clay, or even heavy clay. The key element in soil type for successful banana plant growth is good drainage. Alluvial soils of river valleys are ideal for banana growing. Bananas prefer an acid soil.[3]

That's just as much of a problem with Intel's current solution though - the data's still present and can probably be retrieved with the correct tools, it's just inaccessable to the user. What's more, the brick mode almost certainly blocks access to the secure erase commands needed to safely dispose of the drive along with every other command, whereas a better end-of-life mode could allow secure erase.
I have the same thoughts about tomatoes. Tomatoes today have no flavor compared to what I remembered. It could be the flavor notes of childhood-backyard-summertime nostalgia, New Jersey terrior, and simply explained by the genetic modification such that tomatoes could be mechanically harvested weeks before they're ripe in the field. I'm a tomato luddite.
So what? So it's incredibly hard to even enforce what Mojang says they're targeting, and in trying to do so, they're spooking a ton of legitimate developers and server owners.

There is a good case for adding ancient languages to Unicode. I can also see the case for adding smiley faces, which could be seen as a contemporary global language. But I fail to see the case for pictures of poop, pizza and cowbell. That just seems a bit random to me. Maybe everyone is drawing the line somewhere else, but I'm guessing most people don't want to go down the road of adding company logo's for Coca-Cola and McDonalds or pictures of the Americans presidents or the sigils from Game of Thrones. It's good that Unicode is extendable and all, but that doesn't mean we should be adding glyphs just for the sake of it.

Also, adding political glyphs is a sure way to ruin the universality of Unicode (I'm looking at you no-piracy).

All that said, I love Unicode, it has flaws but I think it's brilliant (no sarcasm).

Also, can't wait to actually use the man-in-business-suit-levitating-glyph (sarcasm).

I'd use the Unicode sarcasm marks, but your font probably doesn't support them yet...
Building a data warehouse
That's not really the right question. We already have small pictures in fonts, just look at Wingdings or Webdings. Unicode is just assigning them to unique code points so they can be represented in a document without requiring the font to be specified.
Linkedin, go to local startup meetups or look on meetup for marketing groups that do meetups (there are TONS!).

If you have the connections ask your friends/colleagues/acquaintances for a referral to a marketer they know.

I'm a marketer and I focus on these channels heavily.

If you are able to manage well and are up for the challenge of negotiating, try one of the online co-founder matching sites. They match people from all over but the main issue is always finding someone that shares your passion and will work hard to make the startup live.
Isolation is a self-perpetuated emotion and reality, and that's what makes it so dangerous. Loneliness is similar to sitting in a large room full of cubicles too high to see over. you feel entirely alone, and yet right next door there is another person feeling the exact same way. but you're right there. In real life, this cubicle wall is fear of rejection or failure, or even thoughts that you're not worthy of another's time and affection. But if you reach out, take a chance, you just might raze those walls. Suddenly, you're seated at a the table, and I'm sure your english won't fail you then.
We outsourced our WordPress blogs to Pagely, and good riddance - but if they were still my problem, I'd be all over this.

Tomatoes, definitely! My brother works at a major shipping company and tomatoes are picked green, and then the trucks they are shipped in have an environment where they turn red.

So it sounds like this is less of a law restricting tiering and more of direction to have the FCC make regulations to restrict tiering. Also not having seen the bill I can't say for sure but the language "between the customer and ISP" is a little shaky since someone like Comcast is both a customer ISP and backhaul provider so can they claim they are operating as a backhaul company when they change money to Netflix .
