Well, you'd be mistaken. There are people who learn 3, heck, even 10 times faster than your standard bright university student, in large part because they needn't wait for formal instruction. You have probably learned at this pace on certain topics.

Such people can defy the standardized logic of what's possible by a certain age.

For example, Howard Hughes:

Showing great aptitude in engineering at an early age, Hughes, Jr. built Houston's first "wireless" or radio transmitter when he was 11 years old.[5] He went on to be one of the first licensed ham radio operators in Houston, having the assigned callsign, W5CY (originally 5CY). [6] At 12, Hughes was photographed in the local newspaper, identified as being the first boy in Houston to have a "motorized" bicycle, which he had built himself from parts taken from his father's steam engine.[7] He was an indifferent student with a liking for mathematics, flying, and things mechanical, taking his first flying lesson at 14 and later auditing math and aeronautical engineering courses at Caltech.[5][7]

Philo T. Farnsworth:

Farnsworth excelled in chemistry and physics at Rigby High School. He asked his high school science teacher, Justin Tolman, for advice about an electronic television system he was contemplating. He provided the teacher with sketches and diagrams covering several blackboards to show how it might be accomplished electronically. He asked his teacher if he should go ahead with his ideas, and he was encouraged to do so.[13] One of the drawings he did on a blackboard for his chemistry teacher was recalled and reproduced for a patent interference case between Farnsworth and Radio Corporation of America (RCA).[14]

How can this not be some kind of internal sniping?
Every time I drive by one of those, I look at it, which completely distracts me from the road. (how fast does it say I'm going? Does my speedometer say the same thing? It doesn't!?)
That's a rather naive view.

If you need to pay billions of research cost for something that can be immediately copied, you simply don't do the research. There's plenty of cheap more or less useless improvements instead.

We already see that in medicine, where R&D has become so ludicrously expensive for many actually needed drugs that people would rather create a new ED pill.

Capitalism & "free markets" (as if!) fail as a motor of progress, per se. The only thing they're good at is extraction of wealth. That's why we have government regulation in the first place - to direct the efficiencies created by the market place.
yep, people will naturally drive at any speed they determine to be safe for the road they are on. Those signs help make them aware of it.

I can honestly say that 90% of the time, I probably am not sure what the speed limit of a road is that I am on. I naturally slow down in residential areas, and speed up for highways. Generally this is 75mph or so in my area with a speed limit of 65mph. If they raised the speed limit to 85mph, I personally wouldn't really like it and probably wouldn't drive that speed.

I've gotten only one speeding ticket in my life, and I have never been in any accidents of any sort. The speeding ticket was on a 2-lane straight road, in the middle of the day with barely anyone around, so I was more comfortable with going fast and didn't even know I was going that fast.

edit: if you're going to down vote me, at least add to the discussion and prove me wrong.

Well, there are people out there who have plenty of experience. People who have, between them, collectively hundreds of years of experience in the relevant fields. So why haven't they been able to do what she has?

Maybe because it was never really about experience, but about the unique combination of smarts, guts and drive that she has?

MonkeyParking tells SF it’s not going to kill its parking app
I think this is a subtle but excellent point and answers the gut question I first had when reading your top post, which was to think: why would you (not YOU specifically, just the general 'you') marry someone who:

"....you don't respect, someone you think makes bad decisions, someone who isn't kind back, someone who is emotionally selfish or self-centered, etc. "

The answer being that you don't know these things going into it or they don't bother you that much; it's only when they accumulate over time that they start really bothering you. An analogy would be taking a new job at a company with lots of higher-up political BS - it doesn't bother you so much to begin with, but the more you learn the more it can do so.

EDIT: Realized I read your list of qualities as if you were talking about the same person with ALL those qualities in tandem; my "why would you marry?" obviously makes less sense if it's only one or two of those qualities in isolation.
Show HN: Convert your CSV files to Markdown tables
Agreed. I just switched from Marine Corps to Navy after 10 years to keep from dying at 50, and mostly for the tricare and the free TS.
I filed a patent at age 16; there are no laws governing how old you must be to file, and rightfully so.

While you may stereotype young people as being unready to write and file patents--and perhaps many are--at least some have developed the right skills and technical knowledge to do so.

Judge the patents on their own merits, not their authors.
I've made a FOIA request for all regulations, including the building codes (which is title 24), with the OAL. They claim not to have them. They claim they don't have the regulations they are entrusted with publishing, and that I should buy them from someone else. I'm sure there's a perfectly legal reason for this, such as being morally corrupt, but legality aside, the current and all former directors of OAL should be impeached for entering into such scandalous contracts. Its simply unacceptable.

Ask HN: Caps lock warnings
This is really just a small rant, but I'm curious nonetheless.

One of the principles of secure programming, is to not provide too much information to the user when failing on an authorisation attempt. In other words, a potential attacker shouldn't be given information about a failed attempt that could help him/her narrow the possibilities.

Why then, do all the major OSs warn you when you've turned caps lock on while you're trying to login?

I can think of similar examples in cloud services as well (telling the user the email address doesn't exist, instead of just saying that the login failed), but that is a topic for another day...
I bought the book for $10 also. Yes it does cut into the author's profits, but tech book authors generally don't write motivated for making a lot of money :-) Rather, the advantages are sharing knowledge and meeting a lot of cool people. I have written several books, and writing is a pathway to meeting interesting people.
Fatal accident lawsuits in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

Reasoning: people are going to rely on this to save them from speeding tickets. So they're going to drive too fast. Meanwhile, other idiots who don't have it will also drive too fast. It's only a matter of time before someone in a Genesis enters a camera zone and auto-brakes while another speeding idiot on a cellphone is tail-gating them. Result: a high-speed pile-up.

Something not-dissimilar happened with the first roll-out of ABS on cars; drivers who knew their brakes were super-strong drove too fast and actually ended up with a higher accident rate, at least at first. But ABS was a pure safety feature (to prevent your brakes locking up on a slippery surface or if engaged too hard). This ... I lack words to describe how inadvisable I think it is to seek to avoid a small fine in return for an elevated risk of high-speed vehicle-to-vehicle collisions.

(The risk can be reduced if the Genesis has rear facing radar to prevent shunts, or begins to brake gently some distance ahead of the camera zone. It's also mitigated if tail-gating idiots drive cars with adaptive cruise control -- that maintains constant separation from the vehicle ahead regardless of speed. But as not all cars have the latest features it'll take an automobile generation for this stuff to spread out and become ubiquitous. Meanwhile, sooner or later, people will die.)

Those things make me go faster, I like to see how high I can get the sign to go.
The problem with fines and fees is that it puts a price on things, which is why those electric signs work so much better than speeding cameras.

Sure, a $100, $200, or more ticket is expensive and a lot of money to some people it allows the people who can afford it to easily rationalize the behavior.

"It's only $200 bucks it's clearly not that big of an issue, if it was a real danger it would be more expensive"

However the speed blinkers let you know you're doing something wrong and these condition you to feel guilty therefore slowing down.
My vague understanding of the sprit of the law that allowed broadcasters use of the public airwaves was that it required for the individuals to be able to make use of the transmissions.

Aero by many is seen as a tool to make use of those transmission on public air waves therefore in the sprit of the law.

If you are in a real production environment you shouldn't be opening up SSH to the world, most people that are accessing SSH have enough know how tunnel through a VPN. So for most of my uses this is a non-issue.

fail2web for me is used on Asterisk servers to watch HTTP auth and SIP. Most of the customers I work with have very strict corporate IT policies, they have to review every piece of hardware and most of the time I can only get an ATA approved. So I drop an ATA on their network with SIP/TLS and ZRTP and they setup the client. However, I don't want to make the assumption that their network is 100% safe, so fail2ban serves me well here.

Also to your point of fail2ban being overloaded, this has never happened to me. I see scans/brute forces all the time add after five fails I usually block the small subnet, and the problem goes away.

All of the solutions you posted are 100% a no go for the problems I am trying to solve.
Well refusing to allow a shady Israel company to handle your wiretaps would be anti-Semitic! /s

We should also note that unlike the NSA, Israel follows no international laws and does as it pleases, including boarding humanitarian vessels and executing people in international waters. I don't think Mossad will be showing any restraint at all in how they use this information to blackmail and manipulate (and assassinate) people for their own ends.

Problem: Garage-Inventor Bob's patent will be thrown out, because if it gets challenged Bob will probably lose since he has no big pockets nor legal clout. (Not because the idea itself is good or bad.)

Later, SuperMegaCo will submit a marginally different formulation of the same basic thing, and it'll get approved because they're probably going to win any long expensive court-battles.
This is just pr, they are talking about fighting police level warrants. It says nothing about NSA level mass surveillance (aka PRISM). I would love to see Google, Microsoft, and Facebook collectively decide they aren't going to give the NSA any more records for mass surveillance. What is the government going to do, shut them down? The US tech industry would shut down overnight. None of these companies are small fish that can be bullied or shut down without causing serious repercussions to the government. Their compliance is clearly more voluntary than they admit.
I've implement this fix previously - and a few others earlier in the Akonadi/Nepomuk and whatever issue cycle - KDE has in the past prided itself on configurability. I'd have thought the buggy, resource hogging and much maligned desktop search facility would have been a prime candidate for a simple checkbox in the systemsettings interface. This has now appeared but I'm not sure by itself how good that checkbox is at preventing the shocking overuse of system resources for desktop search that was becoming the KDE signature.

I see that the devs have been trying to create a new paradigm in desktop use but sacrificing the user base on that altar seems strange for so little benefit.
I have read reports from Doctors Without Borders and other sources that the Israelis kill about ten times the number of Palestinian children than the Palestinians kill Israeli children. I don't want to get into a political flame war here, but the facts seem pretty solid in my opinion on which side is harsher to civilians. A little off topic, but a a very good friend who is an Israeli is very critical about his government for just this reason.

> Why then, do all the major OSs warn you when you've turned caps lock on while you're trying to login?

It's not clear to me that this is a security issue or that it reveals any information to an attacker? Presumably the keyboard also provides notification that caps lock is no, so the login system is not providing any additional information not already available to an attacker.
I can't really answer that question completely accurately. I was a very odd case/hire compared to those both before and after as far as I can tell.

I mostly interface with outside developers for integration purposes and I never really had a normal on boarding process.

I'm just a random developer with no authority/power.

That said, my best guess is:

> 1) What is on-boarding new employees like with that system?
They get an intranet project that is relatively harmless and helps them learn the common library -> they get assigned projects on the main site and get progressively larger features to implement. There is no real documentation beyond the actual codebase and asking people questions.

> 2) How long does it take you to get people up to speed and being productive?
No clue. I'd guess 2 months based on how quickly I switched from "intranet projects" to integrating Amazon MWS, 3rd parties, etc.

> 3) I would suppose the lack of rules makes them fast in the beginning and in the end they are contributing to the mess in their own special way, doubling down on the technical debt.

More or less, yes. An example would be we now have 3 partial versions of the same intranet application. The super old one, the one I built before handing it off to the new guy, and the new guy's version [because he didn't like my version].
A friend of mine is teaching an introductory course in Clojure. It is perhaps still at an experimental phase, but so far the experiment has been a notable success, judging by the students' performance later in college and after the college.
> So I'm curious as to what you're doing wrong.

I really enjoy KDE. I just don't like fighting it. Likely a combination of using stock Kubuntu and having tons of files in my home-folder caused the problems. I'm now using a subset from the PPA without KDE PIM and things run smooth.

I _really_ like KDE and enjoy using it most of the time. But I think it's not unreasonable to assume that it could be much better. From my subjective point of view is Windows 8.1 on the Pentium M 1.6Ghz notebook with 2GB faster when using the explorer than dolphin on a Core2Duo 6550 with 4GB RAM (with a quite fast Ultrastar A7K1000 HDD). Opening and saving files and things like that. It's still reasonable fast. I really can't complain. I just don't like the defaults and as I said I think KDE could do a lot better than that. When using Eclipse and doing Java development every megabyte RAM is worthwhile :)
I agree with you, but there is another view here: much of our military spending is really to serve the purpose of forcing the US dollar as the reserve currency rather that SDRs or even a partial gold standard (i.e., require a percentage, perhaps 10%, of money to be backed by gold). The books Currency Wars and The Death of Money make a pretty good case for this.
Review Polling Startup, tambayar.com
This is partially true. However, a fair few keyboards (and laptop keyboards) aren't making it THAT clear that caps lock is on anymore. Given that most people would rather use shift to make an uppercase in a password (at least the ones I know), leaving caps lock on when you're away from your computer is a quick and dirty deterrent from someone who may have watched you enter passwords earlier...

Both the blog post and the grandfather comment refer to gender non-speciic 'people' whereas the paper abstract is clear that the only data collected is on woman.

The figure in the blog post is completely spurious: the study does not analyse the number of sexual partners of the women.
Having now skimmed the paper, I know that it splits women into 'sex only with husband' and 'sex with other', and similar for cohabiting before marriage with 'husband' 'and or other'.

The black lines in the blog figure are a complete misuse of statistics. The confidence interval from the Student's t-test is somehow (probably not mathematically correct) extrapolated out to the simplistic decay exponential and then integrated out to 10 years [why? who knows]. Yet the errors for the 1 partner only women are not similarly extrapolated. These confidence intervals are mistakenly labelled as 'minimum' and 'maximum', as if they are limits, rather than an approximation to quality of fit.

The green bars for the background of the plot are from an entirely different, non peer-reviewed, study by a conservative thinktank.

Presenting data like this is scientifically misleading.

The blog post refers to the study author's choice of model as 'genius', when it appears to me that it is nothing more than the regurgitation of age old 'truisms'.

The undercurrent of misogyny is in framing the hypothesis in terms of some purity of idealised women hood, failing to attempt a similar analysis on the men, and consistently using language that suggests that divorce is somehow the 'bad event' ('risks' of divorce rather than 'likelihoods', etc.)
So my sense after spending a few minutes reading both the comment + the blogpost was that both of these were being written from a strange, almost certainly male and politically conservative perspective, and were distorting the facts of a (possibly dubious / flawed) paper to suit a women-hating, virgin-bride celebrating, perspective.

>Many studies are limited in scope in a similar manner.

How can you suggest your study has predictive power when you don't compare it against 50% of the population? Why was this study limited? Surely the dataset would have been symmetric, or a similar dataset could have been found for men?

>Why the scare quotes?

Because I generally don't consider such 'social sciences' science. This is post-facto reduction of an extremely small self-reported dataset, with no attempt to form experiments or apply the models predictively to other datasets. It's an ideal place for agenda-driven research.
I expect single-author papers, in this day and age, to be relatively unsafe. Doubly so when they're written by departmental chairs.
