Imagine how international listeners feel about music classification systems (nearly every one out there) that clump all international music into 'World Music'. Just looking at Indian music, there's probably a few dozen high level categories you can create for completely different genres of music.

North Indian, South Indian, Hindustani, Carnatic, Film music from maybe a dozen different languages that are wildly different, qawwalis, ghazals, Rabindra Sangeet, music from different periods of Indian cinema... I could go on... sigh.
Fantastically rare? Do a google search, it's a huge percentage.
FYI:

The Water Quality Portal (WQP) is a cooperative service sponsored by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the National Water Quality Monitoring Council (NWQMC). It serves data collected by over 400 state, federal, tribal, and local agencies.
Something I've noticed is that for projects that are publicly visible (i.e. open source), remote workers can often command higher rates as they work more like a contractor. The independence is a trade off for the quick ramp up.
This is my problem too. I've mostly given up trying to nap because falling asleep takes so long that it's not worth it.
Yes, I hate those reckless idiots stopping at red lights, too.
Multiple SINs (read: identities) are an intended benefit of this mechanism. In fact, nonces are verified per SIN, so this provides sequence enforcement per client as we intend for each device to have its own SIN.

We have a reference implementation for key management in [our example client](https://github.com/bitpay/node-bitpay-client)[1], and will be publishing a more formal document as soon as it is complete.

[1]: I am fully aware that HN does not support proper Markdown.
I'm sure culture matters a lot - here in DC, there's no stigma or enforcement against running a red light or blocking the box so people do it all the time. This kind of behaviour is completely unsurprising but will probably reverse as the number of red light cameras goes up significantly.
Or it just refuses to compile/execute something it can't prove terminates.
Forget Roberts Rules; The law is the most important set of books everyone has memorized, yet no one has ever read (and cannot easily access even if they wanted.) A few of my favorites from Wikipedia:

> A maximum 900 copies of the Laws of Ohio are published and distributed

> The Ohio Revised Code is not officially printed

I would think that alone would make corporate governance quite difficult in practice. You can download any book off the Internet for extremely cheap, if not free--except the law. Am I alone in thinking this likely causes major problems in a society based upon the "rule of law"? IMO poor corporate governance is just one example of the failure of the rule of law caused by the willful negligence to effectively publish the law which binds us.
How SNS Bank Was Legally Hacked

Companies probably don't want people to know what other
people make because it gives the individual leverage to
negotiate. We as developers are terrible at negotiating
and don't want to admit it.

If you're a developer who is good at negotiating, it's a whole lot easier to negotiate a $20,000 raise for yourself than to negotiate the same raise for everyone on the same pay grade.

If I make the company $200,000 that funds my $20,000 raise right there - if it's just a raise for me. If I have to fund the same raise for 100 other guys before I can have one myself, funding that will be about 100 times more difficult.
Regulators and industry have always had somewhat of an incestuous relationship. Often the experts in fields like telecom have to come from industry and often times they have an eye on their future career. The FCC, FAA, FDA, Defense, all are plagued with this problem. Unless we are willing to pay comparable to industry, the regulators will be a revolving door.
Some open source cathedrals do the opposite - they encourage outsiders to build addons to the project, then they fork the addon and bundle it as part of the primary software distro, leaving the outsider outside.
Glad to see this go public. I am interning for one of the guys working on this project (I am not working on this however) and they seem like good guys. Best of luck in getting funding!
Not once have I seen this anywhere in Europe. I'm sure you're talking from experience and it's a thing, but it seems to vary from place to place. It sounds a bit inefficient.
If you live in a culture where disobeying traffic signals is common (especially non-drivers...say in China...), you observe that people become much more cautious about light transitions. I always cringe driving back in the states and just going as soon as a light turns green.

A kid rushing after a ball into a crowded street in the US is probably dead meat. In China, they have a much better chance of surviving because drivers are used to that crap (likewise for pedestrians and crazy drivers). Though I would venture that the fatality rate is still much higher China (I've personally seen people get hit and killed).

Besides the obvious inequality, and unlike Messi, ceos rig the game.

If the company performs incredibly well, they receive dynastic levels of wealth. If they completely fuck up... they receive dynastic levels of wealth. If they're essentially fired for cause after 5 months... they receive enough wealth to retire ($7.3m for 130 days including weekends) [1]. If an already stunningly wealth ceo submits fraudulent expense reports trying to get in the pants of one of his employees (who doesn't seem to have been much besides eye candy), demonstrating at bare minimum incredibly poor judgement along with the possibility of sexual harassment, he's given dynastic levels of wealth ($40m) and merely made to resign. [2] In short, there's no performance requirement.

It would be far more interesting to have a camera equipped drone like the this [0] connected directly to the Oculus Rift. Especially if you could outfit it with two cameras instead of one, for stereo vision.

Since the camera moves independently of the drone, you could use the full range of motion of your head to control the camera while flying it. It would probably be the closest you could get to feeling like you are flying yourself.

There's a good reason why you see so few institutional contributors to Chef: Chef Inc. insists that your employer sign a Contributor Licensing Agreement (CLA) before your PR will be merged. That's a big obstacle for many companies. There aren't a lot of legal departments that have the bandwidth to process these agreement forms just so that one of their employees can contribute to some other company's code base.

Back when I worked at Rackspace, I had to jump through many, many hoops [1] just to get my one patch [2] to knife-rackspace merged. And I had it easy: Rackspace already had a running CLA with Opscode because Rackspace needed those patches to flow. Most employers could care less.

Herein lies your problem. You don't get that from disagreeing with the group or challenging the status quo; as far as I can tell, you need to have serious problems with the form, not the content of your comments to achieve that state.

Can you elaborate on what a "Fully funded fellowship" means? I'm guess it's vague because you haven't figured out how much support you'll be able to provide yet?
Did I ever mention that interview with a whizzo East Coast startup where the interviewer couldn't answer where the company was planning to be in five years time? It's one of those questions where they will squirm like eels, but you have to know, because you are committing your time and future earnings to them. Squirming is fine, but being struck dumb is not acceptable. The experience was epic, it ended with a greybeard apologizing for the HR lady.
The UK regulator in this area has a reputation for failing to act on complaints and being too close to the industry it's meant to be regulating, as I recall.

Edit: We've had similar problems in the UK for years: http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/17489393 I don't think most of the customers scammed ever saw refunds, and PhonepayPlus (the industry regulator's) fines are basically slaps on the wrist that are far less than the scammers' profits. Don't think there's ever been any equivalent of the FTC lawsuit over here.
This is why I hate those services that have an automated pre-screen process. The ones where you visit a specific URL and after reading the questions you record a 30 second video with your answer.

The massive hole there is that I don't get to interview anyone the company to see if I feel like its a good fit. I'm sure its saves them time but it wastes mine.
It's self-fulfilling. I was a potential listener that was driven away.
Yeah, it's non turing-complete.

What could "modernity" (by which, I assume, you mean modern 3D graphics) give to Descent that would make it a better game?
Presumably one of the advantages of choosing a language with a strong type system like Haskell is that it would allow for better maintenance and refactoring. What "dependable imperative languages" do you use in practice that offer better maintainability than Haskell?
>* Transparency about what the software does

>* The ability to do audits for backdoors, bugs, and malware

>* The right to fork the code if one's interests or judgments diverge sharply from the upstream developers' over the long run

>* Avoiding the risk of abandonware if the upstream developer goes out of business or decides to stop developing the software

This is the boat that we're in. Our libraries, transports, and server code are open-sourced to provide more transparency and make it an easier decision to build on or migrate to us.

As much as I'd love more community involvement- we just aren't there yet and I hope that we aren't faced with similar criticism in the future.
The issue with those books is that even if you have read them, you might still have a hard time writing networking code as they don't talk about the patterns which is what I think OP wants to learn.
I don't think I could have answered that question at any startup I've ever worked at. And, certainly if I had, I would have been wrong in every case.
Complaining about downvotes isn't cool either.
While they're trotted out by the kleptocrats, actors and athletes in general aren't of the super-rich. *

"Starving actor" is pretty much a trope. Superstars are rare, though they do again tend to display a winner-take-all (or much) tendency. Even successful actors often struggle once their careers are over. For actresses, that's not infrequently by their mid-30s, though there's some longevity being evidenced now. Perhaps 50-something is the new 30-something.

Similarly with athletes. Success is rare, and careers are often very brief. Consequences (especially in contact sports) are also high -- American football players have notoriously low life expectancy.

The other element is that the negative product of actors and athletes is pretty low. OK, perhaps energy and resource utilization extravagance in coverage of their work by hack writers, but that's about it. They're not destroying companies, felling tropical rainforests, or invading countries. If you're particularly unlucky, they may give a popular face to a hideous ideology (say, Mel Gibson or wartime propoganda of numerous stripes). A few gambling problems and wrecked marriages, but the same can come of dice, cards, or drink rather more readily.

* Clarification: nor do they comprise a significant portion of the super-rich. If you look at the Forbes 400, very few of the entries are even associated with entertainment. From the 2011 list, I find, searching for "Television", "Entertainment", and "Movies":

Key: Rank:Name:Wealth:Age:City:Source

One is an actor (in any significant fashion).

Haim Saban: businessman / financier, record, film, & TV producer.

Steven Spielberg is, of course, a director.

Oprah Winfrey is a television and media celebrity and owner.

Herbert Siegel is better known as Herbert "Herb" Ellis, a character actor, known for portrayals of law enforcement officers on film and TV. He helped create Dragnet, Joe Friday, Room Five, The D.A.'s Man, and Peter Gunn.

> If figuring out what happened when something failed is complicated because there were several maybe monads and in the end you got nothing, then Haskell solves this very nicely if I'm not mistaken: there's "Either", which can carry an error message along with the fact that there's no result.

Does that really work? Say you have an error in a long pipeline, wouldn't "Either" cause processing down the line to treat the error as valid data (the error wouldn't be None)?

What you really want is a maybe monad where you can propagate wither a Valid answer or an Error condition, where operations on the value merely propagate the error condition. Also, it would be nice if the monad was integrated into a debugger so the error condition could carry along enough context to allow the user to jump to execution context where the error occurred during debugging (if we are talking about programmatic errors, a distinction must be made between errors of programming vs. exceptions from the environment that can/should be handled).
Here's how it looks for me: http://cl.ly/image/1M04253f2w2n
This is an awesome initiative. It's good to see an organization using and promoting data science for something other than "optimizing click ads." Kick some ass guys!
There are other products doing exactly the same and also covering other pain-points like data encryption and the possibility to host your own "personal-dropbox". You may want to test Owncloud 7. Check this terminal.com snapshot that I just created as a demo: https://terminal.com/tiny/fwv5ra8X8I
The point is that in Haskell, once you start chaining Maybes together you are forced to deal with the Nothings, even if they won't actually arise.

For example:

:t Data.Map.lookup 123 (singleton 123 "hello")
Data.Map.lookup 123 (singleton 123 "hello") :: Maybe [Char]

Even though this lookup will clearly succeed, I am forced to handle the Nothing case. Dependent types let me encode more information about the value in my types, providing evidence that it will always be a Just, which I can use at compile time to convince the type checker that the Nothing case is unreachable.

As soon as the Nothing case is unreachable, I can easily unwrap the Maybe, since my only remaining branch is a "Just x", so I can simply return "x".
> compatible with the idea of programming idol

I think I missed the meeting that established the criteria for a "programming idol" :P

The guys back in the old id were rockstars - plain and simple. They were trailblazing an entire new industry and setting a lot of firsts. Now that the gaming industry is more "mature", the major players are more relaxed, trying to show their artistic side, and no one's smashing keyboards or putting their coworker's bloody heads on sticks as easter eggs[0].

Interesting concept. One think that popped to my mind immediately is that you need to avoid accidentally creating filter bubbles, i.e. locking everyone in their own personalized stream that shows only what they like and already agree with. It's dangerous for the mind.

Another thing is that a lot of value people like me derive from hanging out here are the random things you get to discover here - things that one wouldn't ever think about before and thus never upvote something similar. So it would be good to leave some place to splice in some random submissions that are not related to one's personal preferences.

The community model -- ESR's "Bazaar" -- is made more viable by open source licensing (it does not seem to be strictly impossible with closed licensing models, but its unlikely to be attractive to participants), but really is conceptually a very different thing than open source. In fact, that model evolved as a consequence of open source licensing rather than being its motivation -- the motivation was, well, the Four Freedoms, as "open source" started as Free Software, motivated by ideology, the pragmatic evolution -- and the name "open source" -- focussed on a number of perceived benefits, of which the community/bazaar model was clearly one but not the only one.

So, really, the reference to open source -- either the strong one in the original article title ("Chef is not open source") or the weaker one in the current HN title ("Chef has shifted away from the open source community model") -- are unnecessary inflammatory and distract from the real point, which is more like "Chef has shifted toward the 'cathedral', while Noah prefers the 'bazaar'."
Oh brother. Chef is Free and Open Source Software as defined by the Free Software Foundation. It's licensed under the Apache License. It doesn't get any more clear than that.
What a ridiculous self-righteous rant.

Brendan Eich did not harass any of his colleagues yet he was forced out of his position because of his personal beliefs.
