There is something big missing from that summary of Holle: he knew his friends were going to commit a burglary.[1] Without that connection that puts him on the hook for a felony, he wouldn't be facing life for felony murder.[2]

[1] He disputes his point, which is fair enough, but the court has found otherwise.

[2] Someone could point out the three-felonies-a-day thing here.

EDIT for footnote 2 Flordia's felony murder law[3] spells out the very specific felonies in which you face felony murder charges. These aren't in the same category as accidentally picking up a lobster trap.

API (REST) and Application Internationalization Talk [video]
Why the growing API economy gives developers limitless opportunities
little pieces of text(code in general) that I want to remember/have available somewhere but that doesn't really belong in the code's repository. For example a certain solr query that I use to test out different things, or a certain list of commands I need to run every 2-3 weeks to parse a log in a certain way.
The point is, nobody would ever admit to having low (even above average) IQ, not that they are actually smart.
As I recall, best practice for running an exit node at home (if you want to do it) is to have a separate Internet connection for it. That way you keep your traffic separate from the exit node traffic.
FWIW, a friend of mine suggested doing that and threw a study at me when I made disbelieving noises: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17993252

Most sets of traffic lights in the UK allow diagonal crossing, as in all traffic stopped at once, it's just not that common to encourage pedestrians to cross diagonally. What you never get in the UK is the condition described above, where pedestrians and drivers are directed to use the same bit of road.

There are also plenty of junctions where some car drivers are allowed to proceed while on other bits of the road, pedestrians are allowed to cross. So (typically) each road into the junction has a central island and the pedestrian controls for each half of the road are separate. On those junctions, it's never safe to go across the middle as there will always be some traffic moving.

Mistakes to Avoid With Responsive Web Design
Dark patterns: what are most unethical UIs and growth hacks that you're aware of?
Back in 2010, the Hacker News community helped kick off the ‘dark patterns’ initiative [1]. You guys were awesome, darkpatterns.org [2] benefited hugely from your input.

If you’re not aware, the purpose of darkpatterns.org is to make people aware of the types of manipulative practice that are out there, and to name and shame the sites that use them. Scams don’t work when the victim knows what’s going on. Also, as a professional it’s just interesting to know what other people are up to, and where we should draw the line.

So, I’m intending on investing some more time on darkpatterns.org over the next few months and I could really use some help from HN.

My question to you is - what are most unethical UIs & growth hacking practices in use today? Please don’t be shy, name and shame.

Good question. From a security perspective you definitely want to be careful exposing your cluster to the outside and perhaps build an API around it as AznHisoka suggests (especially with recent security issues in mind).

However, imo this can be quite cumbersome for simply building a dashboard for internal or client-only use / prototyping. Also, a reverse-proxy limiting requests made to your cluster can also block a lot of malicious requests (e.g.: prevent unintended inserts / updates / deletes).

I probably should add a warning about this to the docs, thanks!
That's interesting about Austria not using stare decisis. How does that mesh with them being part of Europe. European laws which have been ratified would surely require them to rely on other European decisions? (Art. 177 EEC I think?)

Art.6 ECHR - right to fair trial - appears to contradict the idea of allowing contrary reasoning to be used arbitrarily. Political appointees coming to a different decision would seem to require partiality too.

Interesting.
Don't forget that for an electric motor you need a sine shaped AC and not DC so it's pretty convenient that this design produces exactly that. Whereas with a "continuous" design you'd need to make it AC.

There's also the problem that an engineer who successfully builds a bridge simply keeps to continue building bridges. In software, a 21-year-old programmer can build a webapp, sell it to Google, and walk away a multi-gajillionaire. If engineers could sell bridges to Google, we'd be seeing a lot of strange methods of crossing a river.

It's not just that developers look for silver bullets -- that's a natural instinct in any discipline -- it's that developers have a very real incentive for building and marketing silver bullets.
Products should catalyst change
So the problem happens because google web fonts actually subset the actual fonts to remove things so that the file sizes are reasonable. For example it's only latin characters unless you specify. And opentype data is also stripped. This means ligatures, for example are tossed. I had a hell of a time figuring this out. I think font-specific kerning also goes away when this happens.

This is why I now serve my own font.

Here's the code I found that does this: https://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/source/browse/...

As a developer who plays the role of designer in my start-up (www.gopaperbox.com), I must say that typography is insanely hard.

Getting the right heights, weights and style to look visually appealing is probably the hardest part of the whole thing. Making graphics is pretty easy in today's world with icon fonts. I have been rolling with Proxima-nova lately - but I'm not tied to it.

Can you guys check out the fonts on my page and give some feedback? I would love to switch to a free Google font.

Thanks!
Google Spreadsheet Custom Functions With Spreadsheet Based Configuration
Interview with Techstars NY Managing Director, Alex Iskold
I've seen that same situation regarding chains that are trying to stay relevant with new items but trying to avoid the constant introduction of new equipment in the kitchens. When it works it works great, like you mentioned it can also go incredibly bad.

My eyes have also been opened to the politics between the corporate parent, the franchisees, and even how the vendors get involved (like Coke or Frito-Lay). It's crazy stuff.
This is spot on. Russians had a ton of structure for ~70 years, then one day all of that disappeared. Outside the big cities, things did kind of go to shit for a long time, with many youth addicted to drugs or simply jobless and desperate. This led to a rise in extreme nationalism among the youth, who pine for the "good old days" when Russia was a global superpower.

You know those racist, alcoholic rednecks in Alabama who fly confederate flags, praise Jesus and love America? Russia has a lot of those. Except the government actively encourages their insanity, because redirecting their furor at outside forces (Ukraine/Crimea, US, the EU, etc) distracts from the kleptocracy that runs the country and has quietly been consolidating wealth and business ownership into the hands of a very small group of oligarchs. Putin is a hero to these guys; he projects a nationalist ideology onto the global stage, where Russia is the bully that gets its way.

Not saying the US doesn't do its share of geopolitically shady crap (NSA spying, etc) but it never reached these levels of crazy. What Russia and Putin are doing is very reminiscent of Nazi Germany, and not in a "they're acting line Nazis" kind of way. By promoting the dangerous idea that "ethnic Russians" in other countries need protection, it elevates that nationalism to the point where it can be used as a context for an invasion of a country. Never mind that the idea of "ethnic Russian" could apply to any person living in a country that was formerly part of the USSR.
My distro's tor setup (arch in this case) should default to not being an exit node, relevant default lines in the torrc:

ExitPolicy accept *:6660-6667,reject *:* # allow irc ports but no more
ExitPolicy accept *:119 # accept nntp as well as default exit policy
ExitPolicy reject *:* # no exits allowed

Installing via `pacman -S tor` and enabling via `systemctl enable tor.service` doesn't start an exit node / relay but a simple client.

I googled it and found the following:

http://www.barrelstrength.com/2013/12/31/ramachandran-iq/

where there is:

"Intelligence (says Prof. Miller at page 189 of Spent) is positively correlated to:

brain size
speed of performing basic sensory motor tasks (“reaction time is a factor”, as the cop said in Blade Runner)
height
symmetry of face and body
semen quality (!)
health, physical and mental
longevity
sexual attractiveness for long term relationships"

So it is most predictive of many things, but maybe not of future real-world achievements...
Yeah, I assumed as much but didn't make the time to investigate. Shame to hear that it's without attribution, and thanks for doing the work to find the original!
they are a great vendor by facade, they bully and collude with their suppliers to drive up prices on consumers. they systematically bury competitors with a trojan horse strategy on their marketplace. using dirty tactics and infringing on anti-trust, they can always appear to be the best vendor to consumers.
On the other hand, a lot of software is built like bridges. Avionics software (a hefty segment of developers who don't seem to publicly blog much) is built starting with formal requirements documents, and includes formal verification against those requirements, quality audits, signoffs by senior staff and FAA representatives, etc.

Software can be built like bridges. But most software doesn't really need that level of attention, so it isn't built like bridges. In a commercial environment, the benefits of the added overhead would have to justify the expense. I would roughly estimate that avionics-style overhead would quadruple the budget and schedule of your typical web or iOS software project. Is it worth it?

Maybe it'd be worth just being a little more strict, even if not four times as strict. Someone has to make those decisions. But it's certainly possible to take software development more seriously.

Time Warner Cable customers beg regulators to block sale to Comcast
Just running network equipment doesn't make you aware of it's use though. Tor users know through high-profile cases that Tor is being used for drugs deals and other criminal activities - but they run the exit nodes in the face of this. I'm not saying the law is correct (nor wrong) just that the application appears to be valid.

Yes, there are high-moral reasons to run an exit node too.

Whether he knew or not (he says he didn't believe that they were going to do it), the comparison to TOR-related cases is still appropriate. If one of these cases went to trial in the US, you would hear the prosecutor telling the jury about TOR's seedy reputation, and that because of that reputation, any reasonable person would have known that illegal activity was likely to occur. Under federal and most state laws, that's enough to make someone culpable.

I hear this quite often, but I don't quite see how this is true. Each piston is hooked to a crankshaft, which is hooked to a flywheel. Even with a single piston, the energy of it slowing down and reversing is absorbed in the flywheel, which is in turn used to propel it in the opposite direction. Add multiple pistons, and the energy of slowing down is again used to accelerate another piston.

Just think of any spot on a wheel representing an arbitrary amount of mass. Spin the wheel, and the only thing slowing it down is friction -- not that spot constantly changing direction.
Do you really consider it a bad judgement, or would you rather say it's a bad law?
Possibly but.. Having had to dig into the Chef client code base way too often.. Large ruby code bases can be a special kind of hell.
I think you're going to have to look for either large companies, companies that specialize in any of these things, or the stereotype "hard problems" startups that actually really do systems hacking. In some of these places you'll be considered a developer, and in others it's an operational thing.

Just some suggestions, you should also include all their competitors

kernel hacking: VMWare, Citrix and other virtualization providers. Maybe Google and Intel (think hyper-optimization companies and brand new hardware that needs drivers)

Databases: Oracle, MongoDB, etc

Networking: Cisco, Juniper, possibly finance & wall street companies

Distributed systems: Oak Ridge National Labs, research/academia, biotech

You should really talk to someone from a particular company you're interested in to find out their requirements. LinkedIn and your alumni network help with this.

General stuff would be good grades, evidence of leadership/positions of responsibility/working in teams, projects (academic is fine). Work experience in programming would be a good thing to have. If you have a masters they'll expect deeper tech skills--preferably in their specific vertical. You probably need to know at least 1 scripting language and 1 programming language, in this case probably C/C++, but they may accept other languages like Java.
It's too easy to scare people from hosting tor exit nodes right now.

I think the way forward is to incorporate some use based digital currency payments to compensate exit node operators for their risk.

Make it a business and let the market decide the insurance premium needed.

I disagree with your opinion on consts. You're right that SECONDS_PER_HOUR is not going to change. The advantage to using a const even for values that will never be updated is that you allow the compiler to find your typos. If I write

total_seconds = hours * 3500; // seconds per hour

the compiler will happily let me do this and I may or may not notice the error. If I write

total_seconds = hours * SECOND_PER_HOUR;

the compiler will complain and I'll fix the typo.

You first need to find out if there's even a market for the problem you think is worth solving.

To do that you need to get out of the proverbial building and find people who you think might have the problem and ask them some specific questions that will help you identify whether there is an potential or not.

I reccomend reading "Running Lean" by Ash Maurya as it provides a great framework and sequence of steps to follow to validate your idea

In terms of the kinds of questions you might ask:
A. Customer Segments: Who has the pain?
• How to identify early-adopters? Ask some introductory questions to collect basic demographics that you believe will drive how you segment and qualify your early adopters.

B. Problem: What are you solving?
List (up to) the top 3 problem you believe you are solving
• How does the interviewee rank the top 3 problems?
• What is their pain level for all of these problems: must-have, nice-to-have, don’t-need?
• How do customers solve these problems today? – This is generally the heart of the interview as they do a lot of talking and you ask follow up questions based on their responses.

You are done when you have interviewed at least 10 people and
• can identify the demographics of an early adopter,
• have a must-have problem and • can describe how customers solve this problem today

Hope that helps.
Good point. I played around with different decay times a lot, but it was very hard to settle on a decay time and opacity settings that worked for most cities, since the data set from city to city was varying in size. If I would re-render the movies, I'd definitely do try renders with lower decay times, especially for cities like NY, LA, etc.
