They wouldn't be using electricity to heat the water. Of course you would end up using less gas if you just heated the water directly like most of us already do for our morning shower.

The efficiency of any heat engine depends on the gradient between the input and output temperature. So if you have a constant supply of cold water the Stirling engine can operate very efficiently, and the cold water becomes hot water which you can use for other things.

Of course, like I said, this is true of any heat engine. You can do the same thing by heating a boiler and using the steam to drive a turbine, which also generates waste heat for other things.
> One of they authors addresses this in the comments on the OP:

>> As we explain in the paper, this was a “design” parameter. We did not want to “adapt” the algorithm to each language to improve speed, because it will open the door to too many “uncontrolled variables” (how good a programmer in that language you are and so on). The only partial exception was with Mathematica for reasons explained in the paper.

Sure, but this makes the paper less useful for answering the question, "which programming language should I use?" Or, "which programming language should I learn better?"

But, yes, most economists are pretty bad programmers, so "which language should I use poorly?" is probably a useful question to answer.
I tried to come up with the mental map of how I came up with that, but I think I was just subconsciously channeling Calvin and Hobbes. (Nothing wrong with that, I guess...)
Megabus is cheap because of Chinatown buses. When the DOT moved in and shut down a whole slew of buses (for good reason, mind you), Megabus raised their rates dramatically.

There's a weird pricing symbiosis between the two sides.
Agreed, though it would be better not to have added the features to begin with.
This statement is not supported by the article:

"Facebook said that since the study on emotions, it has implemented stricter guidelines on Data Science team research. Since at least the beginning of this year, research beyond routine product testing is reviewed by a panel drawn from a group of 50 internal experts in fields such as privacy and data security."

In fact, it is directly contradicted by the article.
Remember, this is the same guy that was telling us the Segway would revolutionize travel.
Nope. See "consumer surplus".

It's funny how companies run by psychopaths -- such as Goldman -- seem to think they can play by a different set of rules than anyone else.

Google should tell them to go get fucked and take some damned responsibility for their mistakes for once.
That's fine if you are willing to require all n parts to be available to reconstruct the key.

In many applications, though, you want to allow a subset of the parts to reconstruct the key. You might want, say, 8 people to have key shares, but want any 3 of them to be able to reconstruct the key. Shamir's makes this kind of setup easy.
A 2 MB file limit makes Atom just impossible for me to use.
My grandma died a few months ago. So my feed was pretty depressing with talk of funeral arrangements and things like that. The fact that they might have made my feed even more depressing when I was already hurting to perform a experiment without my consent is pretty fucking infuriating.
To be clear, my original post was normative. As a policy, the law should favor name changes over a right to demand Google remove a search listing.

> Furthermore changing your name takes quite a bit of effort, asking a search engine to remove search results is a much simpler process.

Simpler for you, but not for the search engine! Or for society as a whole. More to the point, it should not be easy to erase your name from the Internet. The right to be forgotten is easily abused, and it should be invoked as a last resort not the first.
The question is:
- if the email can cause "needless and massive" damage,

Then
A) why is that information on someone's laptop and
B) how can their email systems not be protected about it
C) particularly when a contractor can have the data

The email attachment has probably already been saved.
>You can't get "customer feedback" unless you have "customer(s)".

Yeah, but my experience is that the feedback from people that are actively trying to help you is less valuable than the feedback of people telling you what they actually want and would pay for.

It's the difference between "I would pay for X" and "I think that other people would pay for X"
I think it's a combination of unawareness and irrelevance (or perceived irrelevance): many economists are essentially running simulations on a workstation, and that's the use case of the paper.

Open Source IoT to advance the Internet of Everything
My product (www.machete.io) has been on both HN and PH in the past week. Its hard to measure HN because rel=nofollow => no referrer in google analytics. Also, our HN post wasn't specifically about our product, but rather a visualization of seed funding by accelerators (machete lets you easily create interactive pivot charts). PH was more focused specifically about machete.

HN: ~10K sessions, 293 requests for beta access, on a Tuesday+Wednesday

PH: ~1800 sessions, 495 requests for beta access, on a Friday+Saturday

I have a very hard time separating out HN's impact long term because of the no referrer, PH doesn't do that and from last friday to tonight (wednesday), we've gotten a total of 2,687 visitors from PH and 709 signups (yes, a 27% conversion rate). We got even more indirect signups from PH via tweets that I don't think we would have gotten otherwise.

I don't know how things would have been different if my HN post was specifically geared at telling HN about Machete and our data visualizations instead of just a sample visualization we made. Had tons of PH readers email me asking about specific features, if we were looking for funding and when they could actually get into the beta. Didn't really have that at all with HN. Although I would say that we had equal numbers of VCs from HN and PH sign up (assuming they didn't use their gmail account)
I work in medical informatics. Currently working on an interesting data integration project. Drop me a line, would love to talk more and hear about your RHIO experience.
Cool. I've definitely had a desire for something like this in the past. It's mostly been filled by Evernote and its web clipper now. Any time I have a vague inkling that I might want a page again sometime, I clip it, so I can easily find it with a future search. (Often by accident since you can configure the clipper to show Evernote notes alongside search engine results.)

The downside compared to something like this is that it only works if I have the foresight to clip a page. But the upside is that I don't end up indexing all the crap I definitely won't want again, so it's easier to find things in the remainder.
At my uni, EE's studied strictly analog. Digital was the purview of the CE's (computer engineer)
Oh boo hoo. He's promoting his own internet radio show, it's up to him to work out clearances. He asks what basis they have for doing it, like choice of law etc., well read the ToS, that's why it's there. 'Other people do it too!' is about the most juvenile argument there is, and the fact that they haven't experienced problems yet is neither here nor there. Maybe Universal hasn't got around to yanking stuff from them yet, maybe they have proper clearances or pay ASCAP feees, or maybe Universal/Soundcloud is enforcing their copyright arbitrarily...which they're perfectly entitled to do as a private entity. Equal treatment under law only applies to the government, unless you can show you're being discriminated against as a member of a protected class.

So his problem is he doesn't know which song(s) is/are infringing? Take your tracklisting and check it against discogs.com or some other music publishing database, and see which songs were published by Universal Music. Maybe 30 minutes of work for a 1 hour show, tops. The responsibility to check clearances does lie with the person who wants to use a copyrighted work.

Edit: I realize this is an unpopular view, but if you're downvoting I invite you to spell out what you think is wrong about it. Every magazine/website/course aimed at budding record producers/DJs/musicians provides coverage of copyright and licensing issues, to help their readership collect what is owed to them as much as to avoid infringement. There is no way you can be an aspiring or actual professional in the music industry for any significant length of time and not be aware of your basic obligations in this area.
Curious: what type of things would you want to edit over 2MiB? I think it's probably more a function of "having such a huge DOM would be a bad UX anyway" vs just some arbitrary limit.
That's the funny thing. Didn't it technically become a "needless and massive privacy breach" the instant the email was dispatched from their servers? Who knows who might've intercepted, read, or otherwise had access to it.

They definitely need to take responsibility at this point and contact all affected parties since there's no guarantee the data went unread.
Ask HN: In the wake of Amazon suing, what can an employee do and not do?
I am looking for Anecdotes. I think the non-compete is easy to understand - but what about side projects ? Has anyone built something "significant" while working for a company and got into an issue ? My understanding is that the typical IP rights apply for similar work that an employee does - but then it may be difficult to differentiate. Looking for known experiences..

That's a much more legit complaint than the one in the source article, and as an electronic musician myself I can see how that would happen. Sadly Mixcloud has problems of its own, eg this, which I posted here the other day: http://support.mixcloud.com/customer/portal/articles/1595564...
Now that "embedded" is being redefined to include ARM processors, we have already seen Go in such contexts. This is a great talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4BQRUpQoe8

We'll never see Go on 16-bit architectures or smaller, though.
While I agree Java makes writing cache-friendly code much harder than C, it is no-way impossible. Nor is any C or C++ code implicitly cache-friendly. Generally, in both cases you must know what you're doing. I also hope some of those problems are going to be addressed in Java 9.
You can but not to dropbox. Dropbox still has access. That is the problem, isn't it?
I'm still waiting for producthunt to implement an RSS feed
Excellent interface: the docs are a little opaque in places but all in all one of the best implementations I've worked with. Their use of scoped keys (https://keen.io/docs/security/) to allow client-side data access is pretty awesome: very surprised that I haven't seen more usage of the technique in other data providers. The ability to provide client dashboards that directly access Keen's servers from within our web app without needing to proxy the data through us is simply awesome.
Extreme example (IANAL): a person who uses Facebook heavily and is part of the "more negative stories" group commits suicide. Is Facebook exposed to any legal risk because of this?

IMO, it would have been pretty easy to ask some random users if they wanted to participate; from asking around my group of friends, we all would have opted in because we find it interesting, especially if the findings would be published.
Providing Go code as a shared library that is linkable from other languages is not technically infeasible, it is merely difficult. In 1.4 we aim to be able to load Go programs into a host process (on Android this will enable a Go process to live in the same memory space as a Java process), and also have a more general plan for Go shared libraries.
I can actually mark this is fact. They tried to hire me and i shot them down.
Being a person requires time to clearly think about a problem and gather thoughts I couldn't up-vote this enough. I just can't solve a problem when I know that someone is evaluating me right there and then. The way I go about it is to keep thinking about it at the back of my mind while I commute, eat, sleep etc., and then once in a while write pseudo-code or gather data to verify if a solution I'm pursuing works.

I was asked to come up with a recursive-like solution for puzzle like problem. I just froze during the interview. Later on kept thinking about it for couple of days and sure enough I was able to come up with three different solutions that used various techniques such as memoization and I felt really good about it.

I guess what I'm trying to say is it's really counterproductive to evaluate someone's abilities by subjecting them to time pressure.
Agreed.

The second and latest edition of H&H is from 1989. In my opinion it has aged remarkably well. A third edition has been due out 'soon' for ages now - as of last fall rumor had it May 2014 would be the availability date - but at this rate it seems to be anyone's guess whether TAOCP, or Art of Electronics 3rd ed. will be completed first. In any case my expectation is that it will be worth the wait.

This can only get better.
> Soundcloud determined it is much less expensive for them to go this route than be sued by Universal.

Which is sad, because Soundcloud would win in court, as they'd have no problem proving that the site doesn't exist primarily to help its users infringe copyrights owned by Universal.
Actually the correct response would be 'can you give me a release to play it.' Everything is under copyright with someone, refusing to deal with any labels whatsoever just means punishing any artist that dares enter into a publishing relationship with someone else.
Huh, I thought it was quite common, my mistake.

It certainly worked but it was a total drag for normal users as we were constantly in communication with outside parties.

But then making us happy was not the goal of the software :D
I'm genuinely scared by the number of people who do not understand what is wrong with Facebook doing this without consent. I guess that was just a classic case of Projection on my part, thinking that other people felt the same way I do about this.

One of the questions this raises for me though is if these people who don't see this as an issue feel that way because they've already submitted to the oppression that is Facebook? Is it the case that Facebook has already "broken" them, as you would a steed?
> Let's say you walk up to my front door, and I won't let you into my house. Would I be 'arresting' you on my front step by not granting you entry into my home?
No, but it'd be an arrest if you told me that I couldn't leave your porch unless you let me in or forced me out.
Would you feel the same way if a grocery store played a sad song when you were depressed?

The new rendering method kills subpixel font rendering, I suspect due to the translate3d hardware acceleration. Unfortunately noticeable for those of us not yet on retina-resolution screens.
stop being a nazi dick
Yes, it's evil google's fault. Maybe you can be a peach and come up with a better implementation than doesn't require all google employees to work on this full time.
One of my biggest pain points with Atom was the speed. More specifically, the selecting of multiple lines greatly killed performance and made me switch back to Sublime. Glad to here they are making efforts to speed the editor up, I'll give it another go!
Wow, thanks for the kind words! I'm blushing over here. I wrote a big portion of our docs and would love to know which parts could be fleshed out more (I can think of a few areas but I'm curious what you think).

"Twelve dollars, twelve minutes" (to Mong Kok from Kennedy Town), as a local said to me about the red minibus :-)

12 HKD is 1.5 USD. The route is this on Google Maps, which notes that the distance of approximately 8 km should take "13 min without traffic". So 12 minutes is basically dangerous driving!

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Kennedy+Town,+Hong+Kong/Mong...
You have that annoying +C though, so you need an initial velocity. While you can just shove 0 in there, it would still not be 100% accurate, and you'd want it to reset when no acceleration is detected for a period of time.

So while I'm sure you could make it work convincingly, it still wouldn't work as well as a proper rollerball or optical sensor.

I love how, no matter how slimy or nefarious or shady a company acts, there's always going to be someone here on HN defending their actions. Unbelievable.
How can anyone even think about justifying the failure to encrypt the data before sending it? It wouldn't make the WSJ but would be just as bad if the data moved as a cleartext email to its intended recipient.
This is a great explanation and I hope it will help your parent commenter realize that, while different and not trivial, this stuff really isn't dark magic and really doesn't require a master's degree level of study to grok.
Keep up with emacs. It has has been around for long. Every operating system has it. It has a lot of support and tooling around it. Works great over ssh or just on a plain console. Has good syntax highlighting.

My advice is to just learn 5-10 basic commands. Movement, copy paste, exit, save and open file. Then see how you like it.

Because they're faster. Atom is slower than Sublime :)

But Atom is free, open source, and actively being developed.
Goldman has no process around sensitive emails so google should be responsible? Goldman should have to tell their customers and own up to their error.
I read it more like a machine in everyone's basement, next to the water heater. It would diagnose illnesses, set broken bones, stitch up wounds, and inject you with all the drugs you need.
I didn't notice the scoped keys before, but this would definitely be useful to us. Thanks for pointing it out.
What a fucking terrible analogy. Do you meet up with all your family and friends to discuss things at the grocery store?

Here's a non-shit analogy: what if Verizon only let you receive depressing phone calls?
I tried and it didn't make sense to me. Having to switch modes is silly to me.

> For example, if you know how to jump to the next occurence of character x (fx), you already know how to delete from cursor to character x (dfx).

Yes but if I have to start typing I have to press some key to switch modes (i?). That is a no-go for me.
Exactly. Most people would be delighted to be asked if they wanted to be part of Facebook's 'Insider' test group or somesuch, and they don't have to know what they're being tested on ahead of time. The FB researchers certainly knew what standard practice in this area was, any psychology/social science/economics paper that depends on tests or surveys spells the participation invite out first thing in the methodology section.
Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't trying to mislead anyone, I just wanted to know what license keen claims on the data we'd be providing.
Nothing but great things to say about Keen.

I first found them when testing services via Segment.io and after spending a morning digesting the docs I realized it's what I needed for my company (at the time) to build a simple and scalable tracking/reporting API with. They reached out shortly after, and discussed my needs, offered help modeling the data layer with us and worked out an enterprise deal, the legal, etc. I realized early on they like working the hard challenges and helping us was fun for them.

For side projects as well as my current venture, I use them for tracking near everything, and the simple charting right in their interface makes it pretty easy to make quick decisions and break down the data.

I collect about 4mm events a month these days for my most successful project, and their APIs are still super fast and require zero up-keep from my end.

Congrats to Ryan & Nick over there for the success!
So you could actually walk down the street like SV? In 2002? Wow.
In this scenario Dropbox isn't actually being suggested as a solution, just as a model to get your head in the right space for understanding the solution.
If a feature gets added, it is to evaluate its usefulness. Some features make the cut, some don't. Even the ones that don't pan out are useful in that they establish precedent for people who ask for that feature later on; we need only tell them "we tried that, it didn't work out, and here are all of our notes and discussions documenting our reasons why".
That's essentially the same as having a Paypal account, though.
It's really incredible; the number of people with full-blown Stockholm syndrome in this thread is staggering.

Why do so many people here think this kind of thing is okay when Facebook does it? Is it simply because they feel kinship to a tech-related company?
Is such a setup able to figure out if I base64 or uuencode a file and include it as text inside of a plain text e-mail? I would think there'd always be a way around this somehow.
I'm very curious about how bridges work. How do they provide ipv6 connectivity if most of the networks they are connected to do not issue ipv6? Or do they require it?

Also does Helium operate a cloud-based proprietary service discovery bus? It sort of sounds like ipv6 + cloud db + some custom protocols + low power wide area wireless.

Not knocking it... Sounds very useful for all sorts of things.
You can learn these tricks, but it's ok if you don't want to, as long as you don't mind that many of us like doing things this way, and recognize that you may well run into these concepts in other peoples' code at some point.
