Interesting. I just wanted to collapse the side panel for less distraction. Didn't realise it was an unpleasant reading experience.
Id you are so smart you should be able to figure it out for yourself. ;)
That's not quite right; Even in circumstances where participants are mislead for other purposes, they are still informed that they are taking part in an experiment.

The issue here is that Facebook conducted behavioural experiments on participants whom were not informed that they were part of a study. It is unethical. Whilst the outcomes are tame for those involved, the shear number of those involved and Facebook's influence and presence in everyday life makes it all the more alarming that they attempted it in the first place.
>Windows is a piece of crap when it comes to staying clean. If it wasn't, Microsoft wouldn't have to go after people like this.

It doesn't help that Google is making money from infecting their users with malware. It's basically impossible for people to find popular Windows software though Google without begin directed to malware.

For example if you do a Google search for 'firefox', usually the top result (actually an ad) , will be a link to a site that downloads a copy of Firefox bundled with malware. This is from a search I did a few moments ago: http://i.imgur.com/lzKU3FO.png

It would be trivial for Google to block these malware sites and Adwords accounts - a lot of the ads that show up look to be pointing to the same sites as they were 6 months ago. Adwords has manual review of ads and the sites they link to. There is just no way that they don't know about these heavily profitable Adwords accounts that are running on hugely popular keywords.

This isn't a new problem, I've mentioned it time and time again: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7101939 , https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7335401 , https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7089727
The complaint is here, fwiw: http://www.rezlaw.com/News-Events/06-30-14_Complaint_with_Ex...
The argument can be adapted almost verbatim for hacker type vs theory type programmers. One is in the problem solver camp the other in the fundamental understanding and theory building camp. Silicon Valley is dominated by hackers and they are constantly re-inventing wheels because of lack of theoretical understanding, e.g. NoSQL, and the theory builders are working on problems that will almost surely collect dust in some dark corner of a university library.
I agree with this - to add on though:

Polymer DOES NOT replace models and controllers, use this to render, and continue to use a MV* or MVC. Polymer gives you access to web components now providing a polyfill. I love web components, but there when we have logic inside a html is were I start to regret using it. example is [core-ajax](https://github.com/Polymer/core-ajax) There is literally no reason to have this, this should be apart of your javascript.

On that note you should use polymer, but don't combine your logic and structure. I think of web components as advance templates that can be used. If you implement your own web components keep your logic separate!

I hear you.

Anything you can do to make yourself more comfortable in an interview (or other stress-filled situation, such as speaking at a conference) is worth doing. If you're comfortable, you're more confident and thus better able to represent your abilities -- and that's what they ultimately want to hire.

Which is why I made a point of buying an outfit that both looks professional _and_ is comfy enough for me to relax in.
Ah, the victim blaming accusation. I was waiting for this.

To be clear: Ms. Wolfe is the obvious victim in this situation. She did nothing to deserve it, and all responsibility for it falls on the frail, slimy shoulders of Mr. Marteen. There is no way she could have predicted that he would act like this. However, she could have known it was a risk.

Furthermore, the fact that Mr. Marteen is 100% responsible for this situation does not invalidate my advice. I am merely pointing out the risks of starting a company (or joining one?) with your significant other. To paraphrase another HN commenter:

When the police teach people not to leave their keys in their car while they pump gas and go get a snack, is that victim blaming? No. It's advising people to consider the risks of their actions, which could unintentionally lead to a bad outcome.
In reply to your edit:
I think ap22213 is referring to applying the Socratic method[1], although it might be a more obscure reference that goes over my head, as I am not well-read on Socrates.

I'm going to go way out on a limb here but also I would think that 4chan would be more likely to contain the type of smart person willing to put in many hours into a problem with very little real expectation of an end goal/reward. At least more so than the other communities.
Company: TheLadders (http://www.theladders.com)

Location: New York, NY

Postion: Full-time on-site software engineer

TheLadders' mission is to match people with the jobs that are right for them. In order to do that we need a strong engineering team.

Currently we are looking for a software engineer to join our Platform Engineering Team. This team is responsible for developing and maintaining the software and systems that power our websites, mobile applications, and marketing.

A few things about us:

* We try to use the right tool for the right job; maybe a shell script, maybe multiple Storm topologies communicating via RabbitMQ and reading data from internal web services. And while we have found some tools that work, we're always willing to incorporate new ones if they give us a new way of tackling a problem.

* We know that engineering is all about understanding tradeoffs, not applying the same solution over and over again to every problem.

* Sometimes we get to work with fun new tools (Scala, Clojure, Storm, Elastic Search), sometimes we work with old standards (Java, Python, Bash). Sometimes we write cool new code, sometimes we are on call dealing with a production issue.

* We think pushing code into production is only the beginning of our job. We are responsible for what we put out in the world, including monitoring and maintainence.

A few things about you:

* You're an engineer, but you know how to think like an operations person.

* You cut your teeth in open source software, and know how to find documentation, read the source, ask for help, and report a bug.

* You're excited about glamorous work, but you're willing to sometimes do shit work, because in the end that's part of being a team: spreading the shit work around.

If this sounds interesting and you think you'd be a good match, or if you're interested in learning the skills to become a good match, please get in touch with Sean Allen (sallen@theladders.com).
The article stated the lawsuit has been started and I didn't see any verdict. So let's not be quick to judge, we've heard only 1 side of the story.
We didn't prosecute any mortgage brokers.
1) If Web Components work as-advertised, we'll be able to build our own primitives for the first time in the history of the web stack; no more shoehorning rich Internet apps into a framework that was designed for academics to share term papers. This is both fantastic and a fundamental shift in the way apps are written.

2) You can make web apps that look and feel native (on Android) for free.
> Alice sends the outcome via a classical communication channel to Bob, who can then recover the original state by applying the corresponding local transformation.

This seems to be the key point - there is absolutely no FTL information transfer going on, which is pretty much what I expected. As I said before, it would've been much bigger news if there was. The press article was clearly written by someone who didn't understand what was going on (or was intentionally deceitful, but that seems unlikely).
But using logic is a trait of a dumb person anyways, the world is much better model probability theory which is designed to deal with uncertain, incomplete and incorrect data. It's basically what your brain does and what "street smarts" is, albeit the brain uses so many cognitive shortcuts and heuristics to avoid computing things.
Has anyone come across the Neo-Doom megawad?

There is one level with a Cathedral.... you walk in through the entrance to see a few dozen imps standing at pews, and there are a couple of Knights of Hell and a Baron on the front stage giving a sermon.

The mock up was pleasingly realistic, then I noticed that the crucifix on the front wall was inverted.
Is it really that cute? For example, I get the WSJ delivered daily because I value it's top-notch reporting and journalism. But, I usually skip its editorial pages: their editorials are written by people with strong ideologies and lots of rhetoric - things not very interesting to me. Similarly, FT is probably a top-notch news paper, but should I consider their editorial staff's opinions any more than the WSJ's editorial writers'?

I guess I have a bias against editorialists and a bias toward scientists, researchers, historians.

Furthermore, I am more surprised that more editorialists haven't slammed the book. I mean, given the book's subject and conclusions, I would have expected an avalanche of criticism, by now.

I really like the look of this. I'm the Founder of Liver Initiative and will be looking to built out my platform soon.

I echo others' concerns. How does it compare with Firehost and their HIPAA solution? http://www.firehost.com/secure-cloud/compliant/hipaa
Really? This is like using addition in a loop to multiply numbers, I'd say. Nothing wrong with the result, it's just a weird, roundabout way of doing it.

Do (size+2047)/2048*2048 if you really can't stand the bitwise operations, though in most cases the fact it's a power of two is important and avoiding bitwise operations obscures that.
A few spring to mind. Such as Docker and large parts of Google and CloudFlare.

However I think your benchmark for a language's worth is a pretty superficial one.
He-said-she-said, bleh. And these things come to light after a breakup between the two of them. Seriously, who would trust what either of them say? It'll get settled in court no doubt, but let's not jump on the bandwagon here.

Edit: http://www.buzzfeed.com/sapna/tinder-sued-for-sexual-harassm... - If this is real the guy is a real piece of shit. -This- is the type of guy who should be removed from his company. If the guy in Github was forced to leave this is probably a sure-thing.
I agree. I don't see Julia getting much traction in the statistics community. There is the legacy thing (the tools, existing code, and knowledge) but there is also the fact that R is designed specifically for statistics. Julia is a good replacement for Matlab, but there is a reason Matlab isn't used much in statistics.
Startup idea: A Social Education Hub. Please help me with your feedback.
Hi guys, I would please request you to help me with your kind feedback:

My team and I are developing a social education platform for college students where they get access to subject specific quality educational content and industry specific skills at a very affordable price. We are introducing social features like - "Group Study", "Summary", "Be My Teacher" along with a new revenue model - which is cost effective for students and high on revenue for publishers/content-creators

I would be immensely grateful to you if I could please get your feedback.
It's nice to propose Bitcoin as an alternative, but there's no "they didn't make it so you get your money back" system like pledges, is there?

Also, I don't see how they qualify for PayPal donation status as a nonprofit, so the outcome of this was predictable by day 1 and entirely their fault.
I was wondering a related question, which is whether or not there is a higher, similar, or lower incidence of sexual harassment in "technology" firms than other firms of similar size (number of employees, annual revenue).

It is not uncommon for people who work together, to get romantically involved in spite of advice against such relationships. But I don't see anything specifically 'tech' related that would make this more or less likely. Hence the question.
It appears I did make a mistake, the university did conduct an ethics review.

Although, I find that is all the more concerning, since you would hope that the university in question would have more ethical clout than an corporation.
Is there another side that would make any of these actions acceptable? I can't think of any.
Let the switch cost something like 1 unit and the analysis on the Wikipedia example still holds - at the switch, drivers face a choice between a 41 minute route and a 45 minute route. Yes, this paradox is a property of the specifics of the network in question, but it may hold for real networks is the claim.
PayPal has pretty clear direction and limits regarding crowdfunding.

You may be right. I read that tip somewhere a few years ago, and it worked the times I tried it. It could have been the placebo effect or just coincidence, and I didn't try napping without it.

It depends on what kind of website or web app you are working on.

I noticed that polymer is not really suitable for highly dynamic web applications. With ReactJS you can use all of the javascript control structures (if/then/else, conditions, loops, functions etc). With polymer you are restricted to bind, repeat and ref, which are not enough to adequately cover the requirements of a complex application.

My recomendation is to use polymer if it's a mostly static website with just a few moving parts, and ReactJS otherwise.
iRobot (http://www.irobot.com) - Bedford, MA (just outside of Boston, MA)

Looking for great work-life balance at a job where you can say "I can't find my keyboard under all these robots!" ? Then iRobot might be the place for you.

We blend cutting-edge research and practical engineering to build useful and affordable robots.

We're looking for smart engineers who are easy to work with. You should probably think robots are cool, but a robotics background is NOT required. (I had no robotics background when I started at iRobot.)

iRobot is looking for software engineers and mechanical engineers.

Here are a few of our 20+ job openings:

* Embedded software engineers: We're hiring for "big embedded" (C++, Linux, and big cpus) and "small embedded" (C, bare-metal, small cpus). If you have good OO skills (C++, Java, etc.) but no "embedded" background that's okay too - shoot me an email and we'll chat.

* Software engineers for vision, navigation, and mapping

* Test engineers

* Mechanical engineers

* IT engineers

Check our jobs site for all positions: http://www.irobot.com/us/Company/Careers.aspx

Email me directly if you'd like to know more: csvec@irobot.com

PS: We have hired people from these "Who is hiring?" posts, thanks to HN for this service/forum!
> He-said-she-said, bleh.

It sounds like there is documentary evidence, so I'm wondering why you would characterize it like that.
I don't know if it's fair to say an entire organization is good or bad at an individually-attributable skill. The Polymer team wrote the app framework for WebOS. They're not some generic Java guys who got put on a web project. They have a pretty deep background in JS.
Sorry, I phrased my original post badly. That wasn’t a rhetorical question, it was posed to the OP. They didn’t give any reasoning as to why they wanted to adopt Polymer, just a blanket ‘should I?’. Your reasons are both valid though.
Guilty! Guilty! Burn them! Burn them!
Understory - http://www.understoryweather.com - Boston, MA

About Us:

Understory—named for the area in a rainforest beneath the forest canopy—detects rain, hail, wind and other weather events directly at the earth’s surface, where the risk to life and property is greatest. While traditional, radar-enabled weather centers collect data by analyzing conditions observed in the atmosphere, Understory’s “ground-truth”-based detection is a marked enhancement in both resolution and fidelity, providing real time datasets and graphical views of the movement and intensity of weather events, which leads to better insight and early detection of risks.

Our company recently raised a seed round of $1.9 million and we are growing our engineering team.

We are currently working out of the Greentown Labs (http://greentownlabs.org/) space in Somerville, MA. We have a large office space, prototyping lab with awesome equipment, full kitchen, smash bros melee, and free coffee. Understory also provides a free employee membership to the nearby climbing gym - Brooklyn Boulders Somerville.

We are looking for the following full-time positions:

* Back End Engineer * Data Scientist *

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back End Engineer

Blend open-source technology with proprietary hardware to deliver real time data to customers quickly and efficiently. Build the robust interface between the weather stations and the web so that not a single data point is lost. Be on the ground floor of Understory - as we are building out our software team and make the technology choices that will be the structure for our platform. Work with our data science team to implement algorithms that predict thunderstorms and their outcomes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Data Scientist

Use statistical, signal processing, and machine learning techniques with our proprietary sensor data to help solve the current data sparsity problem. Use findings from our local grids to improve the picture of nation-wide weather effects. Explore the business opportunities for such high density data in the current market of sparse data. Join the team that will revolutionize weather data.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are interested in these positions or think you would be a great fit for Understory, please see the full job descriptions at http://understory.theresumator.com/ or email me at info(at)understoryweather(dot)com.
I found this quote particularly sad: "The prosecutors offered the banks a choice: turn over records related to Iranian banks or face a criminal case."

If it's a criminal case, you'd think they could subpoena the necessary records. It's not something to be making a plea bargain over.
