It's the same display as an iPad (he says in the video) which means it's IPS.

It's not offered or sold with 'extra features' so complaining that it doesn't have any is a bit weird. It's USB powered so it will chew on your laptop battery if you need it to be portable.

Why are you skeptical of the gaming claim? It's a screen connected by cable to a video out. It's much higher bandwidth than software compressed USB or WiFi. It's as much gaming as plugging an external display in - because that's exactly what it is.

My dog is probably one of the happiest creatures I know. But he can't get his own dinner and I have to take him out to poop.

If everyone was happy all the time we would probably still live in caves because there wouldn't have been the struggle that brings us to where we are.

This in my opinion may be why religion correlates with happiness. For the very same reason lobotomized people might be happy. Do you want to be happy or do you want to know how the world really works and what is certainly going to happen?

But... the dark cynicism of reality aside, I think happiness probably results very simply from good health, physical activity, strong social connections and a feeling of being important or succeeding. It's good to be happy sometimes. But I still think being happy all the time might not be the best thing for us personally, nor for us as a species. IMHOP.
AFAIK sites like 4chan store post data in a database then use that to rebuild the static html files whenever someone posts or deletes.
>, so there's a large opportunity cost to being alone.

But for some personalities, there's a large opportunity cost when hanging out with others. Some people simply interface their optimal best with the world when they don't have to force themselves to socialize at whatever "normal" standards of frequent interaction expected by extroverts.
Can someone tell me how this 'cult of happiness' started in western culture. The obsession with happiness is so pervasive and absurd that people are depressed because they are not happy 24x7 not because of a personal tragedy. Why is some vaguely defined happiness sold as some holy grail that must be achieved at all costs.

There are billion dollar industries built around selling happiness ( fashion industry, fitness industry, education industry and a million others), and yet, and yet most of happiness we are sold is a distant dream for the most of us. Why? . Why do we live in a constant conflict both within ourselves and conflict with the outer world. Do you want to live your life in this constant conflict ?

Most happiness peddling misses the important intricate relationship between happiness and pain/anxiety how they are the same feeling and pursuing one means pursuing the other. And yet most people are fooled into believing that we can somehow chase happiness while avoiding pain/anxiety. Even people who are very logical in every other parts of life buy into this absurdity.

Does this have to do anything with rise of western industrial power when marketing changed from 'buy this because you need it' to 'buy this because it will make you happy' [1]

Think about it. How do you authenticate a block device?

Do you:

(a) Authenticate the ciphertext of the whole device as a unit? So, any time you update any block on the entire disk, you also need to update the MAC tag? What happens if you do that? Any block corruption occurring anywhere on the device breaks the MAC tag for the entire disk.

(b) Authenticate each individual sector? Where do you store the MAC tags? There's an awful lot of sectors on a disk. Also: what does it mean to have a single corrupted sector in a file consisting of many sectors?

(c) ???

Of course, the answer is that full-disk encryption tools (ie simulated encrypted disks, like Truecrypt) don't authenticate. There's no good place to store the tags and no good units of data to authenticate.

What does it mean that encrypted disk sectors aren't authenticated? Well, it means two things:

(i) Attackers can perform targeted rewrites of data on the disk, typically at a full-sector level; in practice, this means that they can randomize any sector of the disk, and the encryption software can't know that the now-random data isn't real data, nor can the operating system. By aiming these random blocks at trusted metadata or executable binary code, attackers can potentially turn this ability into a much more serious attack.

(ii) Because the encryption software must trust the outcome of decryption, even when attackers tamper with data to make its output random, attackers gain the ability to feed chosen ciphertext into the encryption software. This sounds like an academic concern, but it's the basis for many of cryptosystem attack classes we've learned about in the past decade, most notably the padding oracles.
I don't know if I've ever seen this joke not answered in this way, gets me everytime though.
I've thought about doing this myself, but it's a lot of work. I applaud your effort. I have a lot of experience with internet marketing, perhaps I can help out.

Ask HN: How much sales commission do you pay/get?
I'm currently running a SaaS and I'm starting to look around to hire the first sales rep, so the last few days I've read a lot about creating a sales plan, commissions, base salary and so on.

My curiosity is, for all those who have hired sales people, or sales people themselves, how much do you give/get as commission when a sale is closed? And for how long (in case the product has recurring charges)?

If you want you can also write more how's the structure/plan, if you get leads or if you have to find them, and any other info you think it'd be useful =)

1.5.1.2 For people with moderate or severe depression, provide a combination of antidepressant medication and a high-intensity psychological intervention (CBT or IPT).

So, for moderate or severe depression, the standard initial treatment is an SSRI and therapy.

For less severe depression, though, the guidance is to start with non-pharmaceutical options, and only move to drugs if those don't work.

What about DNSCrypt support?
http://dnscrypt.org/
This idea would have been more intriguing 5-10 years ago when people were more used to plugging stuff in and out and cloud based services weren't so ubiquitous. It appears that they took a long time to develop the USB part and missed the boat on that. Even the card's NFC chip, which seems to have been an afterthought in development for this product, is a more compelling feature that its main selling point.

I simply don't see this product's utility as a business card. If I want to get in touch with someone after receiving their business card, the only information I need from that business card is their email address; I'm not going to plug in a USB device just to get that email address. If I want to save all the info on the card, Evernote is already better and simpler at solving that problem.

The only people I can see this possibly being useful to are photographers for sharing their portfolio, but, again, it would have been a lot more useful for that purpose 5-10 years ago.
Of course, there's some validity to the "composability" point, which is why we use both full-disk encryption and encryption at the filesystem layer. I don't think enabling full-disk encryption is a bad thing. Having full-disk encryption is what allows me not to panic if I leave my laptop in the unlocked back seat of my car; I don't have to worry about what state the filesystem was in, because the whole disk is locked.
I'm the lead frontend developer at Ayasdi, and I figure I should take this opportunity to let the HN community know that we're actively hiring in engineering :)

If you're a frontend engineer with an interest in machine learning and data visualization, Ayasdi is a great place to build those skills. We use Backbone and D3 as our core stack on the client side, and we're pushing at the edge of what's possible when building rich data analysis applications for the web. (Incidentally, we're talking about our approach at the next Bay Area D3 User Group meeting http://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-d3-User-Group/events/19268574...)

Feel free to contact me directly (contact info in profile) if you're interested in learning more about Ayasdi!
This is on Less Wrong, a website devoted to rationality. You'll notice several times in the article he is clearly addressing a rationality-focused audience. For instance:

Without a magical deity to give you purpose, though, you'll have to find out for yourself what drives you.

He's writing for atheists. Telling an atheist "in order to be happy you need to get religion" is like telling a recovering alcoholic "in order to fall asleep you need to have a few drinks."
> It's bullshit, there is no "golden solution" for everyone.

The science of happiness (not their philosophy) is new and it is in a prehistoric stage. Think about the history of chemistry and the alchemist adventures!

The post doesn't invalidate your opinion, just reading and article doesn't make you happy except for a few enlightened ones. But, knowing the correlation using a lot of data can help you in this search.

Is "cross-site political injection" a thing?
Interesting use of varying tenses in your grammar. Is English your first language?
You start with "as if it's somehow self-evident that you HAVE to sit through the video" and continue onto "Kickstarter pages are well known for having information in the video which isn't in the text", so you do expect that to be the case.

It does seem self-evident that if you open a page and it has a large video center stage, then the video is the bit they're wanting you see.

Fair enough that you prefer text, but the "I didn't look at the thing you wanted me to look at, but think you probably have no clue about your problem and haven't done any research before spending ages making your prototypes and starting a kickstarter and announcing plans for a manufacturning run" is weak.
The bit about procrastination was in the first half of the article :)
I assumed there to be no side effects to the dust specks. Otherwise millions would die in accidents and the thought experiment wouldn't make much sense.
Its because you overrode the default option of "suid" with your "nosuid" when mounting.TrueCrypt does not do this and that is where the problem is.

To reproduce the problem,use TrueCrypt with its default mount options,or do your mounting with mount's default options.

The fundamental problem is a bad usage of mount command that comes from usage of mount's default options.You cant reproduce the problem because you changed a bad default option to a good one.
I'm a PhD student in pure mathematics (studying theoretical computer science), and I have a list of industry companies I might want to work at in the event I don't get a satisfactory post-doc.

I agree that making the magic black box is very hard. Automatic model selection, at scale, requires a lot of processing power.

My take is that Azure "just" makes it easier/quicker to run ML experiments, and to deploy models. It's not entirely black box since you have to pick an algorithm and parameters. I expect that once you've run your experiments and found what works best, you should be able to get similar results with an open source implementation of your chosen algorithm. But then you'd still have to deploy your model somewhere — maybe using a platform like yhathq.com which makes things more transparent?
The difference is that this person actually backs his advice with some studies.
In Brazil during the colonial times catholic churches would have to pay taxes once they were complete that is why they always have one bell tower and a second incomplete tower.
Not only that. Even the people who want to cut taxes all the time like Grover Norquist are against it. They want to make tax paying as painful as possible.

Governments can force them to do anything: they know where Tim Cook lives and can ruin his life six ways from Sunday. Really, other than all the selectively enforced laws that exist already, all governments have to do is start passing laws that say "all communication systems must be interceptible by the government". Indeed CALEA already does this, but it's (again) selectively enforced.

I don't know where this ends, but I suspect it ends up with lots of computer programmers rotting in jail, others going underground and everyone just accepting that they live in a totalitarian state run by the military, which constantly brainwashes its children to believe they live in the best country in the world.
The posted article acknowledges that happiness is in large part a genetic trait, and in other large part the result of life history (parenting, health, etc).
That's a straw man though. The "pursuit of happiness" in the Declaration is just fancy phrasing for what was originally the "right to own property". It was changed by Jefferson before the Declaration was finished because of some philosophical points from John Locke [1].

Postmates earned 400% more on a delivery than the delivery guy
I used Postmates to buy and deliver a $199 Chromebook for me from Best Buy. The delivery fee was $5, 80% of which went to the delivery guy. Postmates added a 10% "purchase fee" which they do NOT split with the delivery guy. So they made $21 while the guy who actually did the work made $4 (not counting the tip I gave him).

I realize that developing the app that facilitated this transaction is work but for the purposes of a single transaction is it truly 400% as much work?

Does anyone else have a problem with this?

I'm surprised no-one has said this already, but whilst a technical background helps, being able to code is never part of a Product Manager's job.

You need to own the product & it's vision. This means understanding the market, competitors, and most importantly, what users actually want/need so that marketing can target them. In ANY job, you can ALWAYS be talking to users in your spare time.

And the specific answers to your questions:
1. I would try & find a PM role in a smaller startup, as your Marketing skills will also be seen as valuable (i.e. you will essentially do a bit of both roles, but this will give you the PM experience).
2. Definitely do not go back to study. Waste of time/money for something that a degree can't teach you anyway.
Equational reasoning at scale
DNSSEC is designed to prevent DNS spoofing attacks, or DNS cache poisoning, not to prevent malicious actors from sniffing your DNS queries.

I'm curious as to what you think the downside of deploying DNSSEC is. I use DNSSEC Validator(https://www.dnssec-validator.cz/) for Firefox and I like seeing when a webhost's DNS entry validates. Certain sites I visit regularly do validate, while others don't. If it ever happens that I'm on a public wifi network and I visit a site which I know regularly validates, but fails this time, then DNSSEC will have done its job.

As more operators deploy DNSSEC more sites will validate, thereby allowing me to trust more DNS responses when I'm on a public network.
null hypothesis.
Maybe the closest writing to fit your view is Daniel Gilbert[1]. Basically, humans have a biological "set point" for happiness and it's different for everyone. It is not affected by winning the lottery, or getting paralyzed from a car accident, or doing meta-analysis on what happiness is (such as reading self-help books about achieving happiness.) Those events may affect happiness in the short term but not in the long term. People will eventually gravitate back to their predisposed set point of happiness.

If I agree with the above, I can set aside the quest for ultimate measurement of absolute happiness (e.g. Solon's "Count no man happy until he be dead."[2]) . However, I can still do things that affect relative happiness. When I stopped consulting for boring ERP software, my quality-of-life definitely improved. Again, I won't know if I'm ultimately "happy" until I'm lying on my deathbed. Nevertheless, it feels like I got a little victory from changes like that.

This is a refreshingly specific post. Many articles of this kind ham-fistedly define various philosophical criteria throughout the post and make sketchy judgements within these. Here however there is just "here's the main comparative languages, here's the difference, here's where there may be issues".

NB. I'm very much in favour of a principled (qua philosophical) approach to language comparison (etc.) but its rarely done well.
It might be a good idea if the website used images of actual doctors in the system, rather than using generic clipart. For example, it took less than a minute to find one of the main images on the American Heart Association website:

But this is what concerns me as well. Yes, the effect is significantly - several orders of magnitude - greater than what the theory predicted, however there's no reassurance that it's outside local noise in the lab. "Gravity probe B" was extraordinarily sensitive and safely outside local noise.

I suppose the next step in testing this effect would really be to try it in space.
