This smacks of blaming Ms. Wolfe for starting a company with her significant other. Mr. Mateen also started a company with his significant other.

As shown by the first Ms. Wolfe was able to handle separating her breakup from her duties at work. She went into starting the company knowing she would be able to handle remaining professional at work if the relationship ended.

Mr. Mateen went into founding a company with his significant other and was clearly unable to handle separating the company from his relationship. This falls squarely on his shoulders.

Plenty of successful companies are built up around relationships. Plenty of companies survive their founders ending their relationship. While it is painful, they most frequently are able to work things out by being civil and being able to separate their relationship from their business. This all falls on Mr. Mateen's shoulders for not being able to separate the two.
I might be misremembering but the tabs in XCode 4 did not work like tabs in any other IDE - there were some major annoyances around new window/tab open behaviour if I recall it right.
Unfortunately, securing data on the backend gets one about 5% of the way to HIPAA compliance. Does one have e.g. a written risk assessment and mitigation plan? No? Insta-violation.
So I've been porting part of our internal analytics system at work over to using polymer and I have to say: damn. It's nice to have and being able to make custom reusable elements that can expose a preset functionality and a powerful (if you write it that way) api is pretty nice. Overall I'm pretty happy with it, but can't really speak for how usable outside of our little sphere it is.

We haven't had any issues with speed or page performance and only target chrome however.
Eh, it shouldn't be that bad. The Google and OpenBSD teams certainly can operate only independently and they have both pledged to cooperate with The OpenSSL Project (as well as with each-other).

Things are looking up, IMO.
For anyone using Rails, I've made a gem which integrates Web components seamlessly into the asset pipeline. This gives you two things:

1. In production, all imports get concatenation into 1 HTML import.

2. Any web component can use assets that need to be compiled, such as SCSS or CoffeeScript.

It's called Emcee, and is available here: http://www.github.com/ahuth/emcee
Polymer looks like a project to push boundaries. While I found the demos at i/o quite cool; I'll quietly waiting for Angular (or Ember if you're this kind of person) to implement Web Components...
FlareWorks - http://www.flareworks.co - San Francisco, CA ( Bay area preferred, remote possible )
Interested in changing the world? Neither are we! But we are interested in having fun and building cool software.

FlareWorks is a mobile messaging startup headquartered in San Francisco, California. Our mission is to build a platform for contextual communication between family and friends that is easier, simpler and safer than texting. Our company’s visual messaging service —called Flares— uses visual cues, instead of text, to provide communication shortcuts between friends and family.

We're a seed funded, early stage startup, so this is an opportunity to get in on the ground-floor ( we have not launched yet ). You would be engineer number 2 or 3. We're looking for mobile developers, both iOS and Android to help us take our application and platform to the next level. Our mobile apps are the face of the organization and, as such, you’ll be on the front lines of creating an application and experience that has the potential to be used by millions of people every day.

Our Stack:

* Node for our API.
* Erlang for our platform.

What we offer:

* We're not fans of 9-5 with a lunch break. Work then you want, where you want. Results matter. "Seat Time" does not.
* Unlimited PTO. Take the time off you need, when you need it. We don't offer prizes for 'attendance'.
* 5K equipment budget. Buy what you want; After a year, it's yours to keep.
* Company outings. We like to get out and do things as a team. Lunches, dinners, games, volunteering, concerts. We're always on the lookout for things to do.
* A real voice. We want to know what you think. If you have an idea or think something isn't working, we want to hear about it. Your voice counts.
* Generous options and an actually competitive salary ( no low balling + options bait and switch here ).

What we're looking for:

* Senior level Android and iOS engineers.
* UX and visual design chops.
* Meticulous attention to details.
* Android:
* Animation and the hardware accelerated rendeing pipeline as well as OpenGL ES.
* Location, Content and Media SDK experience.
* iOS:
* Core Graphics, Core Animation, Core Data, Core Location
* Comfort with rapid iteration and real-time team collaboration.

If this sounds like a good fit for you, email us (jobs@flareworks.co) and we'll talk.
Actually, no, the author is correct. Most people don't get the licenses correct nor truly understand them. The notions of "free" vs. "open" are often conflated or not well defined.

This author has correctly identified the distinction and tries to lay it out in human terms.

Before the Internet went mainstream, I used to see a lot more GPL software that was pay-for. If you paid and got the binary, then the GPL entitled you to also get the source code. But if you didn't pay, there was no way to get anything since it wasn't distributed to you.
I asked on the reddit thread but got no answer: Doesn't PayPal not allow accepting payment for non-existing goods or services? This would include things like pre-orders and donations. If that's the case, this seems like a legit reason to freeze the account. I might be wrong, but I could have sworn I heard that somewhere.
I don't think I could possibly disagree with you more.

It is in no way No-IP's job to protect Microsoft from malware yet by all accounts they employed both automated detection as well as a (very timely) manual reporting option. How can you possibly sit back and claim they're "incompetent" when you have absolutely zero knowledge of what happened within the company to address this issue? Microsoft wants to complain No-IP wasn't doing their job to their standards as if how they feel about it matters in the slightest.

Oh, and from the numbers I saw it was 12,000 accounts were deemed to be complicit in malware distribution by a 3rd party security firm. Another user posted they have ~4 million accounts total. If those numbers are accurate that means only .003% of total accounts had anything to do with malware; Sounds like a damn good job from the No-IP guys to me.

Even if you manage to delude yourself into thinking Microsoft is in the right in their domain seizure then you still can't justify the sneaky way they approached this with no forewarning to No-IP customers or even No-IP themselves. Had they actually established a dialogue maybe I wouldn't be experiencing any outages since they could have actually set up sufficient infrastructure in advance to handle the No-IP server load.

And yes, I actually used No-IP domains myself for completely legitimate purposes and am still unable to make use of any of the seized domains. No-IP is absolutely not responsible for this, that blame falls 100% on Microsoft and I honestly think you'd need to be misinformed or a Microsoft employee to feel otherwise.
While I would not necessarily prioritize this above any of their other concerns mentioned in the roadmap, I would love to see openssl use a more standard build process instead of generating code through perl as part of their build

Sure. But they knew exactly what they were doing. They took a risk in order to make a profit, and it looks like it's going to cost them a lot more than the money they made from it, which is, IMHO, how it should work most of the time (though I'd also like to see individual executives prosecuted).

As a French national, I have extremely little sympathy for them. Maybe they will think twice about breaking the rules next time.
That's exactly what the French government alleges: http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/06/02/french-officials-twis...

At the heart of the French government’s campaign is the
concern that American prosecutors have created a two-tiered
system of justice: one in which American and British banks
escape criminal charges and the other that forces BNP to
plead guilty to sanctions violations and pay a record fine.
Mozilla is behind most of it. The original creator has already left the project, so we don't have a BDFL. There is a core team, mostly of Mozilla employees. Tilde has been contracted to do the package manager, I have been contracted to do documentation. There's a pretty significant community for a language so young, our IRC channel has ~600 people in it.

Wow, if this is true, what a horrible person. All the efforts to get more women interested in tech, trampled. Hopefully, people will learn from this how to not do it and that still in 2014 misogynism is completely present and will get swept under the carpet.

This seems unwise.

Use the best tool for a given job.
As someone building a healthcare application, it seems kind of risky to base my entire backend on a third party service that could change, go out of business, make their prices prohibitively expensive, etc. It would be really nice if there was a way for me to have a HIPPA compliant architecture while still using open source technology so if I need to switch off your platform I'm not stuck re-writing my entire backend.
It is hard to reconcile this with the fact the governement just rejected a settlement of $12B from Bank of America, and is seeking $17B. They just settled with JP for $13B.

European banks are getting fined for Illegal tax shelters and violating sanctions, and US banks are getting hammered on mortgage fraud.

I don't see a conspiracy.
Out of curiosity I implemented the two examples in C++11.

For the number add I used a unique_ptr (although returning by value would be better in every way).

For the shared state I used async with a lamba that calls transform and returns the modified vector through a future. This doesn't execute in parallel for each for loop though. I think something like Arc can be coded in C++ too - template wrapper that returns a RAII lock whick unlocks on scope end.

I think the only big difference is that some errors in Rust are happening at compile time. In the first case the original buggy code was triggering only a warning in C++.

Right now the extra compile-safety of Rust is IMO not worth giving up the other benefits of C++, especially now that C++11 with some extra static checking and good guidelines can go a long way.

This was awesome to read. It's incredible to see such a growth in the hacker community- and a facebook community like this has definitely inspired a lot more creativity among young minds.
Isn't his position that mathematical (2+2=4) and logical (!T=F) knowledge is a different kind of knowledge than empirical (temp=20C) or scientific (F=ma)?

I took this to be similar to what Einstein [1] said:
"As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."

Ask HN: If you are an freemium app developer, I want to talk to you
Hi all,

I'm doing some research about an idea I have and I would love to get to talk to some of you who have active apps in the app store/play store. It will be a 15+- minute interview, with very general questions.

If you feel like you have time and willing to help and share your experience, I would greatly appreciate it.
I don't want to comment on this particular story. These are terrible allegations and they deserve their day in court. There's also a drive-by, rubber-necking, gossip-mongering aspect to these stories. Hate to contribute to it.

I would like to comment on all the heat sexual discrimination cases are getting in the public eye lately. (I have no idea if the number of actual cases are increasing, decreasing, or staying the same). Big, public, messy scandals are no good for anybody, and they're not a new phenomenon.

We have various professions where lawsuits of a sexual nature can be especially damaging. A couple that come to mind right off the bat are politicians and religious leaders.

I've heard that in many cases, the threat of an unfounded lawsuit is so great, and it could cause so much harm, that folks are sticking with same-sex environments where there are always 3 or more people in a room together.

I wonder if we'll see such adaptations in the startup industry. It could be that the public outcry after so many of these things, to include more women, might actually drive out more highly segregated work environments. It bears watching.
I used to be afraid of Peak Oil, but it seems we are willing to burn whatever we can find, and it would be a slow death, so now I would say it would be a Carrington type event (apparently we were really close to another one in July 2012) followed by a few nuclear meltdown.
2014 Gartner E-Discovery Magic Quadrant: More of the Same
Perhaps I have selective memory, but I've never seen Linode lower prices, they just keep upping the specs on the lowest tier.

It reminds me of something I learned while working for Comcast years ago - never lower prices, just keep adding "value".
Most javascript developers want to use Javascript and want to use what's available in the defacto javascript package manager (npm) and want to use the build tool that works with the javascript packages (browserify). Suggesting using something other than Javascript, it's packages, and it's preeminent packager to get started with Polymer is exactly the problem parent was highlighting, and your suggestion is bloody not well helping.
One technique Prof Gower's mentions (the phenomenon of the
concentration of measure) has many applications in machine
learning/statistics (which may be of more interest to HN readers than
some of the probabilistic combinatorics mentioned in the paper).

A few (non-rigourous) examples in ML/statistics are:

- The use of the LASSO estimator [0] (minimizer of |Y - β X|₂ + λ |β|₁)
for variable selection is justified by Candes & Tao's 2005 results
[1, 2]
that show, under fairly general conditions, that this estimate
exactly recovers the true set of active variables. A key step in the
proof is finding a concentration of measure result for sub-Gaussian
random matrices. A corollary is that (with high probability) we can
exactly solve the non-convex problem |Y - β X|₂ + λ |β|₀ by passing
to the convex relation |Y - β X|₂ + λ |β|₁ and have strong
guarantees that our relaxed solution is optimal.

- The Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma for dimensionality reduction, etc
[3] can be proven by essentially the same principle (random projections
are "probably" nearly isometries) that Prof Gowers describes in this
note.

SEEKING WORK - Remote, based in SW Ontario, Canada

Experienced (10+ years) developer of software for medical devices and scientific applications, many with an imaging component. Have architected and led teams to deliver on software for systems in both diagnostic and interventional contexts. Comfortable working in an FDA-regulated & ISO 13485 compliant quality system.

I excel at iterating research or early-stage prototypes (e.g. MATLAB developed by researchers) into commercial-grade software ready to impress the right audience (clinicians, investors, etc.).

Developing scientific applications involves a high degree of uncertainty and requires an engineer that actively participates in all phases of the SDLC (e.g. requirements gathering, risk analysis, etc.). My ability to communicate has always led to my role as the technical point of contact for researchers, clinicians (surgeons, radiologists, etc.), and senior executives.

My most recent freelance project was creating a software application to drive the receive/transmit of a novel ultrasound transducer and then scan-convert the signal into an image in real-time.

Technical keywords: C# (WPF, WinForms), C++ (QT), Java, Matlab, VTK, ITK, OpenCV, OpenCL, etc.
