Hacker in London? Kivo (YC S13) is hiring front-end developers
We're building Github for documents and have started by creating the best way to store, share and get feedback on presentations. We're a team of three based in Soho, London. You'll be technical hire #2 and have a huge amount of responsibility and ownership of the product. We're looking for an excellent front-end developer. You love Javascript, but are comfortable picking up other languages, and obsess over building the best possible user experience. Customer feedback is our guiding light so working closely with users in shaping Kivo should excite you.

Our back end is Scala / Play and we're in the process of moving to Angular, so bonus points for experience with that.

Equity grants will be well above market for first hires and salary will be competitive. We want new partners, not just employees, so we are looking for people who are as driven to succeed as we are.

We're hiring for people who want to help lead the team as we continue to grow, so you should be excited to shape the development culture of a fast growing start-up.

We also know there's more to life than work. You get gym membership for gyms across London and an extremely sociable team to work with. We love poker, eating out, tennis, and nights at the pub.

If this sounds exciting, ping us (leo@kivo.com) and we'd love to buy you lunch and have a chat.
Convincing poorly educated people of something is not hard to do. A large part (or side-effect sadly) of education is critical thinking skills. Lack of education leads to easy followers; something that has been preyed upon numerous times throughout history.
I have a sort of similar experience. I am developing a jamming platform and to lift it off we're looking at paying/artificially creating accounts that imitate real users. Its not cheating or anything, its just creating great content and making it look like at first this is coming from genuine users.
Another method is to ask early adopters here (and possibly on reddit) to have the first go at providing content. some will respond :)
An index of macros in the standard library is a good idea. Would you mind filing an issue?
How naive you are. You could basically be arrested and branded as a pedophile if your CC info is stolen: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7326736.stm

I recognize this is an extreme story, but you cannot claim that CC info theft "does not matter". When it happens, there are many ways in which it can turn in a big pile of hassle for you.
In some cases? Yes.

The legal system simply cannot process every single civil or criminal complaint everyone in the US may have. If a security researcher had to go through a court, and/or law enforcement, every single time they wanted a malicious domain taken down then their work would be nigh impossible.

Legal due process should be required when there are legal penalties or punishments. In this case, the bot herders and malware distributors are not subject to any criminal or civil penalties in response to abuse complaints: they do not go to jail and are not fined. Some of them will be fined or imprisoned, many years later, but everyone's better off if their botnets are shut down immediately instead of in 2-5 years.

It's a dealing between private entities: private entity X agrees to stop providing server or domain hosting for the bot herder after seeing a good faith report. A provider has every right to stop offering you service.

Without this sort of cooperation between entities, the Internet would be even more of a mess right now.
I agree - being worked on now. We really didn't have a moment since launch to touch up the website until we brought on some summer interns. I 100% agree with you though.
Content Marketing That Runs Without You
It has grown by a factor of 4 in the past two years (visible when you switch to the 2 year or 'all time' scale).
Someone in another thread mentioned they have unfollowed all their friends and likes. Let's empty out our timelines. Short of leaving facebook, that's the only hope.
$51 is only the up front fee. It's $77 for the year, plus you need an EBS volume - say $6 for a magnetic disk 10 GB EBS, or $12 for an SSD.
For e.g. the continuum hypothesis, there are models which obey the ZFC axioms in which it is true and models which obey the axioms in which it is false. The Gödel sentences are less interesting; any model in which those sentences were false would be a model in which PA was inconsistent. Which sure, can exist (e.g. the "self-hating theory", PA plus the axiom that PA is inconsistent, is a somewhat legitimate set theory with some interesting properties). So saying the Gödel sentences are true was not entirely accurate; rather, it depends which model we're working with. But a model which declares PA is inconsistent doesn't seem like the sort of model that we'd want to do physics with.

You're right that there are "larger" theories that can prove the consistency of PA, e.g. PA + existence of a large cardinal proves the consistency of PA. But, per Gödel, no consistent axiom system large enough to contain PA can prove its own consistency. This is probably a lot less bad than it sounds though; after all, if we have some unknown axiom system T, and we have a proof in T that T is consistent, does that really tell us anything? Because if T isn't consistent, then it can prove anything, including that T is consistent.
I get really irritated with companies that put absolutely no effort into cleaning up their services on their own. When nearly 20,000 of No-IP's accounts are being used for malicious purposes, crying about how Microsoft didn't give them any warning just makes them seem incompetent. There was another article recently on HN about some free tunneling service whose creator tried to automate account shutdowns whenever his ISP sent a complaint letter, which I found to be similarly annoying -- these services are essentially forcing other companies to spend money to do the work that they themselves should be doing.

IMO No-IP is responsible for its legitimate customers' outages. Waiting around for other companies to do your job for you will result in ham-handed solutions like this one.
Finally: an article that makes me glad I'm not smart.

We are customers and fans of Zingaya.com which does exactly the same. It is a wonderful service and always amazes me the amount of people who prefer to speak by voice rather than alternative more-effective communication channels such as chats, contact forms or even emails.

I don't think this can be used to compare moving abroad to countries that don't have USD as their currency.
For instance, when comparing a Brazilian city to a US city it simply converts the Brazilian prices to dollars, which is not the right way, IMHO. People in Brazil don't make the same amount of money and they don't get paid in dollars.
Where else would be a good place to start?

Going to individual academic institutions may be one way, but this would also be quite localized, and hard to scale. It also misses intelligent people who are unable to afford to attend such an institution, especially in a place like the United States where the cost can be prohibitive for many, even with scholarships and other aide.

Reddit probably isn't a good place. There's more snobbery and faux intellectualism there than there is actual intelligence, and that's even when focusing on the more intelligent subreddits. It's similar for those who regularly contribute to Wikipedia. It's more about politics there than it is about intelligence.

Digg is pretty much dead. Slashdot is nearly dead. HN has a rather limited audience. A lot of intelligent people voluntarily choose not to use Facebook, Google+, Twitter, or other social networks due to privacy concerns.

So 4chan does look like a reasonable alternative. There's a large audience, its members are probably smarter on average than you'd find elsewhere, and it avoids many of the problems with the other websites or social networks that put a lot of focus on identity.
It is a very dangerous notion that the federal courts can seize the domains of one company and just hand them over to another company...

It was bad enough when ICE was doing it, this takes that bad practice to a whole other level......

What is even worse is they got the order ex parte, meaning No IP did not have a chance to defend or explain themselves to the judge before their business was irreparably harmed by the actions of their competitor.

Even if the malware claim is true (which I doubt because I trust MS about as much as the NSA) No IP should have been given basic Due Process to explain their side to the Judge before their business was harmed.

this looks like a typical exponential curve to me
And how is No-IP supposed to find these malware hosts? Seems to me like they'd have less capability to do so than an antivirus company that collects thousands if not millions of malware samples each day.
Seeking for evidence that you are wrong is the same as seeking evidence that you are right. If nothing comes up to prove that you are wrong then that's stronger evidence that you are right.

I've flagged this article. (Which I rarely do.) It's not April 1st, and as the comments state it's a fake article.

The title should probably be changed to end in [Hoax].

Our original title is the kind of title you want to reserve for momentous occasions where it is justified.
Okay, I completely agree about newspapers, maybe other things as well. But you said people who ban IA from their site could be criticized, there are plenty of other comments along those lines, and I just don't see it. As advice, sure: if you post it on the internet, assume it will stick around forever, because that could happen. But still, there are personal public websites, if you know what I mean. They're not secret, they're not hidden, they are accessible to the public -- but they do not belong to the public, they are not like a public park or road. And sometimes, a website is more thinking aloud, or talking to oneself, than writing a book that then belongs to your "audience".

Civility is a good keyword, and while this may be a bit of a stretch, imagine sitting in public cafés and writing down what people say, and then criticizing people for lowering their voice and turning their back so you can't read their lips, even though you genuinely mean well, and just want to preserve daily public life for future historians. In general, this is what this attitude of "the internet" feeling entitled to whatever was ever posted anywhere feels to me. Maybe I just don't get it, but I really don't get it.

I think the question wether a private conversation should be recorded just because it's in public, just because you can, is kind of a no-brainer, but here are ones I don't have an answer to: Should an artist be allowed to make a performance and ask it to not be recorded? Should someone be able to hold a political speech and ask the same? For me the answers are kind yes, and no-ish... but what about political art? Are we allowed to try to influence people, and then try to erase the traces? Now that is tricky, and I may have ended up ranting myself into agreeing more with the IA "side" of the argument than I expected to. Because either something is personal, trivial in one way or another, or commercial and/or political. Personal things I think should be respected, but commercial and political things shouldn't be, they do belong to historians. Well, fuck.

[this is why I "blog" bit, actually -- because posting stuff online makes me think harder about them than I would otherwise, I don't even need an actual audience for that, just the possibility of one -- but that's also why I don't feel great about all of that floating around forever, it's all rather temporary in nature, a process.. and the person who wrote stuff a year ago does not exist anymore, so why should the name of this current person be attached to it?]
Our government has a pretty long track record of privatizing law enforcement (not to mention prisons, warfare, etc...) so it's not surprising to see this handed off to Microsoft. If anything, a company like MS, Google or Mozilla at least has the expertise to do a good job.

Still not happy to see it, though.

That looks like the price spiking and lots of trades happening, or alternatively a major individual player moving their coins around.

It definitely says nothing about consumer adoption.
iOS Good Samaritan Feature: Empowering do-gooders to do good.
What protects against this is that if you put in a bunch of buy orders for BTC at high dollar amounts, a rash of people would rush to sell their BTC.

You might temporarily drive up the exchange price sharply, but at the cost of buy a ton of BTC at an inflated price.
>lose all consumer protections in the deal.

Well I don't care about the ability to do chargebacks from newegg, and I care a lot about the ability to not get my financials stolen by hackers, so the "consumer protection" Bitcoin offers here looks pretty good to me.
What about a smartphone app that helped you avoid the most congested roads. I think Waze does something like this today and I'm sure that Google Maps can as well. We just need to have it integrated into the system so that we don't have to think about it.

I think this is where projects like Andriod Auto & iOS CarPlay come into play. Just jump into your car and say "Take me to Julia's house" and the route will be mapped out for you. I would love to not have to figure out the best way to get to the mall on a busy Saturday afternoon! Even better, an auto-driving car will actually take care of the moving bits as well as planning your route.
They do have a good looking chart [1] explaining everything. Isn't that enough?

Largely because this is a toy-project which has no income behind it.

(It was initially going to be commercialized, but in the end I found people pretended they'd pay, rather than actually wanted to do so for extras like more hostnames, MX records, etc. So in the end I went with a different project https://dns-api.com/)

I could pretend I regard DNS data as public, but sniffing the update token could allow malicious users to change things in surprising fashions so it really does deserve SSL, but I'm not going to pay for it. I would hope that if users cared about security they'd deploy their own instance - and pay for the resulting Amazon traffic.
That hardly tells anything about consumer adoption though, but about trade volume.
It is my understanding that 501(c)(3) status has always been difficult to get for open source software foundations. Organisations such as the Linux Foundation operate instead under 501(c)(6) (business trade association).

However, the OpenStack Foundation recently applied for 501(c)(6) status and received an initial denial[1], much to the surprise of all concerned since this was historically pretty easy to get. So there may be something to the author's thesis.

Honestly, the price of the BTC is decently stable, I wouldn't expect anything to happen which would effect their prices enough to make a difference within a 15-minute window.

Ex. The Bitcoin is on an uptrend and went up 30$ in the window between when I checked it ~8 hours ago and just now. Even if it managed to do that in a 15-minute window of time, that's only 30-dollars off of every 600 dollars you spend. A 100$ dollar order will only see a 5 dollar 'discount'. And if it goes the other way, they make a bit more, so over time I'm guessing it'll mostly even out, Maybe a bit more in the consumers favor if we assume the BTC price will end-up going up.
this is generic. You can also take into account that 2048 is a power of 2. So you can shift right and then left again.
Unfortunately, the naive implementation of this precludes day trading.

Please consider using cash at small and local businesses when possible. You pay the same amount either way, and the extra 2-3% goes to the local business instead of to Visa.

Additionally, I've been to one or two stores that will actually give a small discount on cash purchases. I hope that trend continues.
ok, so about $6.90 per month for 1 year then including storage. Thats still less than a 1GB RAM DO server which goes for $10 per month, and much less if you go for 3 years. Factoring in 1 year of free tier makes it even less.
The issue is that this offering is complex to understand as opposed to DO which is incredibly simple to understand. It is actually pretty funny how hard it is to understand this offering from AWS, it takes many paragraphs of reading to figure it out.
Funny to see this on the HN frontpage – the Downs who originally suggested the "fundamental law of highway congestion" being confirmed in the paper [0] is my grandfather. Thanks for submitting this, it's very interesting work.

I'm wondering why Coinbase doesn't offer a cashback program where they would charge the merchant the typical 2-3% and pass it on to the payer as a discount. This would hugely incentivize paying with BTC. The merchant should be indifferent about this fee since he has to pay it already 95% of the time.
>you control it.

Hardly. Any domain in the existing domain name system can be seized.

What's the sketch of the trick? I can define randomness by appealing to some of the same basic theory used to develop probability, but it's not really independent despite looking that way from the outside. Does Knuth do this uniquely?

It seems like this fits two needs, for smaller companies and/or people just getting started with EC2.

1. Laziness. Which I don't necessarily mean in a pejorative sense. Maybe someone just doesn't have time, yet, to learn/configure/maintain spinning up an instance for limited times.

2. Single instance. To spin up an instance, you need another computer. If you want that "manager" computer to be an instance at EC2, too, now you need two instances. With this approach, you can set up just one instance and get much of the same economic benefit.

EDIT: Also...

3. Predictable cost. If your manual spun-up instance turns out to need to run for 4 hours instead of 2, you get a bigger bill. With the t2 instances, you'll get a slower compute (if you run out of "credits") but not a bigger bill.

Again, this probably appeals most to small/new customers?
Are you monitoring the health of your software?
And they say America is a democracy... this is one step away from the courts granting Microsoft the power to take over no-ip's business and domains permanently.

Reminds me of the old days of communism when you could have your "property" sized since legally speaking everything belonged to the state.

And no you can't say this is different because the courts ordered it since no-ip was not given a chance to defend itself.

How much would like to bet Microsoft presented the case as some rogue Arab sounding names(terrorists?) running shady bot-nets in cooperation with no-ip a company obviously involved in that criminal activity.

Not the largest and well known freed DNS provider in the world that happens to be used by a large number of bot-nets as well.

If this is ok I'm sure you could find millions of reasons to seize goggles domains like indexing warez sites or websites like the pirate bay.
To me, intelligence is like a fast truck with a lot of cargo space: you can use it to help other people move into a nicer home, you can use it to make great trips, you can run it into a wall and kill yourself much better than you could with a slower truck, and you can load it up with children and drive off a bridge. Intelligence is to stupidity what a power tool is to a screwdriver, you can do more powerful good and bad things with it, but the fact that it's more powerful says nothing about how it will be used. Sadly.
App Engine is very different from the internal APIs most production services depend on.
My points:

* This is only one side of the story.
* It's completely plausible that she did bad things as well.
* It's for the court to decide. Not random internet lynch mobs based on biased one sided information.

Hopefully your black and white view of the world changes someday.

I like this a lot, the right level to get an idea of what Rust is about.

The last example illustrates that concurrency is complex no matter what language you use - the code ends up reflecting the scaffolding enabling concurrency and the actual work ends up buried inside.

Or simply give salaries net of taxes. In many countries, a large chunk of the taxes are paid by enterprises, and never appear on your salary sheets, although they're part of your compensation package (they're paid by your employer, because he has to in order to legally hire your workforce, and they serve to fund services you'll benefit from).

I don’t find that I need to think about it often at all. And very often I can get away with thinking about it less than I should, because if I make a mistake, the compiler will pull me up short. ☺
