I second sdeveloper's comment. This is about establishing authority, not being pigeonholed. Pigeonholing is something done to you regardless of what you do. Pigeonholing doesn't make you the #1 result on Google for a term. Pigeonholing tells you that because you're the #1 result for "French chef" in Google, you're not qualified to make tacos.
Or tell them you got free internet and cable for life from one of their competitors (and if they ask how you got it, tell them you changed jobs and you now work for them). It would be impossible for them to match that offer, so they'll just leave you alone. If they do match that offer, it's still a win!

It has already worked for me more than once (unfortunately, nobody ever tried to offer me free service).
There is some confusion over the version naming because the version file inside phpng says 5.7.0 - but that might just be a placeholder:

Mass starvation wasn't part of the cultural revolution. It happened as a result of the great leap forward which happened about 15 years before.
Thanks. I probably should not have referenced Singularity, and should phrased my original sentiment better.

I understand that we are nowhere near building AI's that can model the human brain and thought process accurately. But I do think that there will be a point, far before that, at which point machines / ai's will have the ability to improve themselves outside of the algorithms programmed into them.

At that point, I think there is definitely the possibility for an exponentially growing increase in their sophistication, far far faster then humans have the ability to learn and develop. This is due to the fact that AI's never have to rest, never get tired or forget things, and could potentially have the entire world of networked devices and information at its disposal.

Anyway, I pretty much accepted that I was probably going to tank some down votes when I made my original post. But I achieved my main goal of seeing some interesting points / discussion about the feasibility of such a claim.
Your fiddle isnt loading in chrome et al. because it's being loaded over http, while your site is being loaded over https. Protocol mismatch.
It is still there. I just updated my Android project to M8 a few days ago (https://github.com/dodyg/AndroidRivers)
I think I'm the vein of this product's philosophy, maybe a "stability" or "reliability" metric along with the performance and price metrics.

for all the evils people dump on Comcast they are far far better than any home security company I have dealt with or heard of from others.

Comcast at least in the metro Atlanta area has been really easy to deal with. When I cancelled phone service I simply told them I was going cell only. When I wanted to use my own modem their tech helped me setup mine and told me where to return theirs. When I returned their modem to the local service center all I got was smiles.

So yeah I am pretty sure you can get miserable or similar service from them but I have always found going in with good attitude makes the process dead simple and swift.
Nope I didn't. I have to revisit what I did, since I've made a custom build rather than the official one (which in turn might've what caused the crash).
Download link seems broken? http://www.iterm2.com/downloads.html/stable/iTerm2_v2_0.zip
This makes more sense; to me, it just seems like it's not something that's a big discovery in the field of programming; it just seems like a specific paradigm for programming, and not something worthy of note. Maybe I'm still not understanding it well.

Edit: After looking at the other comment, I can see that it is a big paradigm shift. My bad.

To use something like Twilio, you'd have to pay. It's not immediately apparent, but this operates entirely for free, using the 'email to SMS' bridge that all major carriers already have. At some point I'll open-source it, but essentially, it just replies to emails using SMTP.
Well, after clicking on the link, I discovered that he had basically copy-and-pasted the chapter titles for Part 3 of the book.
Its called being a lawyer. Its more about form letters sent via registered mail and filing legal injunctions than talking on the phone.

A decade or so ago, I came within days of needing one merely to disconnect a DSL line.

Once the cost of fighting the collections agency and the cost of the hit to your credit record exceed the minimal cost of hiring the lawyer, its a pretty obvious move.

Not kidding around at all, although its probably a better topic for a law blog than HN.

The main problem they're likely to have is authentication. Helping people is fun. Helping people who like having fun by disconnecting other people (-ex's, etc) is a problem and you need to authenticate them cheaply.
I first hit this on mobile and it was just about unusable. I couldn't find out how to switch over to the desktop version and had to wait until I was at a desktop to take a look.

Other than the mobile issues, it's a nice idea and pretty clean looking site. I'd reduce the images in size, especially the gigantic brand logos scrolling across the bottom. Make it more of a dashboard and less like a slideshow.
How optimistic.

No I believe that he meant exactly that and even then he wouldn't "have been convinced". The engineers never are (about usability issues)
> PC Master Race

Please don't perpetuate this inane meme. It is needlessly inflammatory and would probably alienate a healthy portion of your target market.
I upvoted this mostly for the headline...I don't know if the piece was just difficult to follow or if I'm just hurting from lack of sleep...but the OP needed a few more specifics because on a quick read, it sounds like they just need devs that can quickly scaffold prototypes, which they use to test out concepts and also, try to sell the bosses on their big idea.

OK...without getting into "when is a web developer also an actual engineer?" debate...what do these engineers do when the marketers don't have any big ideas at the moment? Engineers on an engineering team ostensibly always have something to work and iterate on, directly...but if they're at the behest to the marketing team, then that's not a particularly agile process.

Well, I mean it could be, but then you've set up a shadow engineering team that is basically staked with creating whizbang ideas to compete with what the non-marketing-engineers are toiling to maintain. Actually, if I were in the non-marketing team, I'd find that quite annoying, as the old-cash-cow is always more annoying than what the bleeding-edge dev team is working on. But this is even worse than the Apple ][ team competing with the Macintosh team...the marketing-engineering team, in the OP's description, could really go down the road of creating plausible vaporware, sucking the attention of the company management.

The OP does give a good real-life example of what the marketing-engineers can do: a documentation portal for API developers, and visualization tools...two things that could be from the main engineering department but could also be completely separate...yet require key technical skills. But in that case, it's often just kind of another engineering team, at a mid-to-large-sized company that may have several teams (like how Google has search, local, social, whatever Peter Norvig works on, etc).

I guess I just don't see many situations in which building out such a parallel engineering team would be feasible for most startups, where the duplication of certain infrastructure and procedures is far more costly than it is for an established company.
But how efficient as a developer are you on your netbook when compared to a dual or tripled screened desktop workstation.
Reminds me of Ars System Guides

I haven't read in a while but they're still doing them:

You need to clarify. Are you talking about submitting a vulnerability in someone else's website, or in a product you installed on your own computer?

In the latter case, it's pretty straightforward. Your legal liabilities in that situation are (so long as you don't demand money) civil (you many have violated a click-wrap that will probably prove toothless against security research). You can tell the vendor directly if you like (from experience, this isn't fun; you'll probably spend a couple hours in tier 1-2-3 tech support hell). If it's an important target, you can also talk to bug bounty programs.

In the former case: it's not not straightforward. Start by scouring the target's website to see if they have a disclosure program, which will probably equate to permission for looking for flaws in their site. If they don't, it's very possible that you've broken the law in whatever process you used to find the vulnerability. Submit anonymously and carefully. If they prove themselves to be cool, you can always take credit later.

This shortcut has cost me so much over the years. Heaven forbid you're typing out a long comment and accidental hit it when the focus is off the text box. Now you hit forward and your text is gone. It wasn't until fairly recently that the browsers kept text box content under these circumstances. In the past you'd just lose it all. Hell, maybe IE still does, but I know Chrome keeps it. So many long winded Metafilter and Slashdot posts lost to the bit bucket...

Other times, focus detection breaks randomly and you're in a text box but something happens and, whoops, off you go to the previous page. I don't know how often these early web guys thought we'd be going back, but mapping it to one of the largest and most frequently used keys is asinine.

Andreeson recently said that his team always thought of the front and back buttons as half-assed solutions until they could figure out something better. Guess that's probably never going to change.

I looked for a different article on the same subject (and even submitted one, which did not do well). I could not find anything else as well-written and engaging.

Cancellation isn't always a nightmare, even for companies with bad practices. But it's luck of the draw, and your luck can run out at any time, at least while government continues to stall on adequate consumer protections.
While it's pretty, the site doesn't allow for much in the way of customizing one's criteria. Or it's very non-obvious on how to do so. For example, I might want a gaming system with a apx $150 video card rather than a $200 to $300 one. Perhaps I have hard drives already and don't need a new one. Why the rather pricey power supplies? The CPU choices are limited and don't reflect current options. What about cooling options? Why the limited case choices? etc, etc, etc.
Data syncing is an obvious need and Realm has actually been designed for that from day one. The entire underlying core is build to seamlessly record changes and coordinate them with a backend.

No, it isn't. You can't dictate interest.
And for some high end use case you might want to be looking at xenon's or even dual xenon's.

I could see a big data or HPC developer wanting to have a desktop that used the same processor as the cluster they are writing for - mainly in the case where your tuning for max performance and want to able to develop using the same complier flags.
Chargeback? First lesson in dealing with known-awful companies: don't ever let them set you up on automatic payments. Even if they make it convenient. Even if they discount your bill a couple of dollars.

It's much easier to cancel service or dispute a bill when they don't have the ability to pull money out of your checking account without your explicit monthly approval.
> But now you are arguing the "it would be better if you did Y instead of X, so therefore stop doing X" fallacy.

That's not a fallacy, that's just good advice. If this Swedish dude wants praise, he should spend his time doing things which are genuinely good, not dubious and possibly net-negative in the long run.
Yeah, it'd be nice to see related stats. In the absence of them, I can only speak for the interviewing and hiring I've done, i.e., my own bias. That bias generally is that with a Ph.D.-no-work-experience-hire, I'll have just hired someone who's extraordinarily knowledgeable and capable in some aspects of job performance (research, algorithm analysis, etc.) and almost helpless in others (teamwork, version control, reading code they didn't write, writing code to be maintainable over time, letting well enough alone). Such wild disparity in skill levels can be hard to manage.

(I do think colleges are generally getting better at making sure students have some of these skills, and GitHub's popularity has also helped. So, hopefully this bias becomes obsolete.)

Someone who starts down the Ph.D. path, then says, "you know what? that's not for me right now", has just demonstrated some uncommon wisdom and self-awareness.

There's also a common sig about "Please think twice about printing this email" with a wingwings of a little tree. That turns into some plain character as well. Maybe G? I kept wondering why everyone was ending their emails with G.

I also wonder how much energy is collectively wasted sending that extra line in every email. It must add up to something from a storage, energy use, rendering, etc perspective. I wonder if it offsets any behavior changes that may help the environment by those who actually don't print. I doubt that little message is going to stop anyone from printing.

Why You Should Learn Product Management Instead Of Coding
I know that I'll delay my entry into the market :( It wans't a easy choice.... At time I loved each physics and computer science but I came from a school with really few hours of maths. So I had two choices try to take a degree in computer science or in physics. For many people physics looks like "writing evil symbols on a blackboard"; those many people convinced me that computer science was the best choice (because of my rudimentary math). Obviously also computer science study involved lot of math, so after it, because I still love both subjects, I decided to study physics. And yes I live in the same city and I haven't changed schools.
This "PC Master Race" mentality has left a sour taste in my mouth. It is a joke to a few but it is starting to become serious (weather they refer to it as PC Master Race or not). Most arguments are made by technically unqualified enthusiasts on subjects like architecture, performance, and cost effectiveness.

I suppose the reason I'm bitter is because I'm constantly being told (online and lots of PC enthusiast friends) that my choice of gaming hardware (a console) is vastly inferior to a PC. Choosing a gaming platform is not a 100% performance to cost optimization problem.

Ask HN: What open source projects have had mass consumer adoption?
I constantly see developers on HN talking about open-source consumer projects they've worked on, or open-source alternatives of popular start-ups. I appreciate open-source as much as the next developer, and I often use Apache projects, GNU's Not Unix tools, or open-source repositories in my projects. I struggle to think, however, of consumer-oriented open-source projects that have been successful. I know that open-source tools are the foundation for many start-ups, but I'm wondering about software that was actually developed for consumer end-users. The only ones I can think of are Firefox (but Mozilla is really run like a corporation that just so happens to be nonprofit) and 2048.
