Maybe I'm missing something here...but the OP links to what must be a gigantic Markdown file that Github will not serve up...Is the spec meant to be in a giant doc, or will it be split up into smaller sections? This seems like a perfect use for Jekyll if they're going to publish on Github...

In any case, I did a quick-fork and generated a Github page from the Markdown file linked to by OP: http://dannguyen.github.io/php-spec/
WTF? There was a reason I choose that url... It was a better article and had a better title. The url and title you changed it to was already submitted by someone else two hours before me but it never gained any traction.

EDIT: My original title and url...

CMU Not Denying Its Researchers Attacked Tor
What most startups get wrong with marketing
If that's true, not only is AMD wrong, so are all the other "datacenter ARM" entrants: HP, Dell, and Samsung to name a few.

It's also unwise to cite the companies who tried and went bust (like Calxeda) since the tech is still very early. A large entrant may be able to establish a niche some time before a startup could do the same.
Steve Phinney and Jeff Volek have done a lot of research into high performance athletes using a ketogenic diet (see, for instance, The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance[1]). Extreme endurance athletes are using ketogenic diets as a tool to smash records in ultramarathon running[2].

Nobody needs carbohydrate. That doesn't mean carbs are necessarily bad, but the long-time trope that you have to have them if you want to move further than your couch is just silly and has long been disproven (if, by nobody else, hunter-gatherers who had gone days without food while running down a kill).

Phinney and Volek have found interesting things about fat and high-intensity exercise:

* Fat utilization in keto-adapted individuals that is, literally, re-writing textbooks. Levels of fat mobilization that have never been seen in laboratories is being recorded. This likely has a genetic component, what I would consider the opposite of the multiple copies of the amylase gene that highly carb-tolerant people seem to have.

* Fat requires less oxygen to utilize, leading to less lactic acid, less muscle tissue damage, and faster recovery.

* Keto-adapted athletes are much more efficient in their use of their glycogen stores, using less when passing 70% VO2-max and replenishing supplies faster. They do not store as much glycogen as carb-burners, so the net effect winds up being about the same amount of power from glycogen between carb and fat burners.

That doesn't mean there are no athletes who would see benefits of carbs, but, in a fat-adapted state, those carbs can be much, much more strategic in nature (the cyclist sprinting over the hill, the olympic lifter in competition, etc). Peter Attia talks a lot about his strategic use of carbs while exercising[3].

Personally, I see beans as a food to be very cautious with. The phytates, lectins, and saponins in them are there to protect the seed, since plants can't run away to protect their offspring. They use chemical warfare, and are quite good at it, leading to poor absorption of nutrients[4]. Properly preparing them (soaking and fermenting) can address this problem, something done in all societies previous to the 20th century, but rarely done now.

I also can't see any reason to use low fat, well, anything. Fat is a perfectly healthy macronutrient, and, when going for low fat, you are typically getting a lot of sugar and additives put in to replace the taste and texture of the lost fat. On the other hand, live-cultured dairy products, for those who can tolerate lactose, are an amazing food.

Some great advice on startups/marketing in this interview with Mike Troiano, CMO of Actifio.<p>"They tell the story they want to tell vs. the one that people will actually understand."
Can we just state the obvious? Chinese AI peeps left because they want to go back to China. This isn't an unusual trend, as an Chinese American, all of my cousins who came to study here abroad in US have plans to go back to China, unlike my parents' generation who came here for a PhD and stayed.

And even amongst my parents' generation, my uncles who have gotten PhD and tenure at US universities and left for universities in China. The reason being that they can get paid for just as much as in US, for lower living cost, a more compatible culture and in Beijing or Shanghai for better standards of living (yes before the critics jump in with air pollution, human rights issue etc., a good US wage in China could afford you a full-time personal assistant and/or nanny to do your laundry, take care of your kids, clean and cook good Chinese food and you can live in a nicer part of the city with better infrastructure than most of US lol; and you could still come out with lower cost of living).
Culture and Empire: Digital Revolution by  Pieter Hintjens
I'm in the United States and want to comment to say your experience doesn't have to be this way.

In the past I've had severe depression and anxiety attacks and tried both medication and therapy. SSRI's were great for relatively quick relief from a lot of the problems I was dealing with, but the biggest benefit came from lifestyle changes and talking to a psychologist/therapist. It's important to realize that their are two different types of doctors you can see when dealing with depression: 1. a psychiatrist (MD), who primarily treats symptoms by prescribing medication, and 2. a therapist/psychologist (PhD), who primarily works with things such as CBT or other forms of therapy, and may recommend you to a psychiatrist if s/he thinks you'd benefit from medicine.

I'm fortunate that now I have a very happy and successful life, but getting to this point required a lot of hard work, honesty with myself about things I was doing that were setting me back, and large lifestyle changes.
Why It's Better To Pretend You Don't Know Anything About Computers (The Oatmeal)
I like your example better, because the energy utilities are quite similar to communications with active monopolies in some regions, a regulated environment, and huge infrastructure investments.

With energy the infrastructure is regulated, with regulated rates. While the provider of the actual electricity is competitive without duplicating the infrastructure. This makes so much sense, it should be clear to treat telecommunications the same way.
Hey very cool! I work as a contractor within the NASA Earthdata team and I'm always finding interesting things like this as I learn more about the program. NASA is a great steward of what I think is some of the most important data we have about our planet. Much of it is publicly available, but not many people know about it.

To the user, certainly. On the other hand, Sprint still has the $12.
What you said actually corroborates what I wrote.

>How many people where creating their own languages 20 years ago?

20 years ago? Far less. That means writing a language is getting more commoditized -- and we work in a higher, easier, level of abstraction. That's what TFA says about other spheres of development and deployment too.

>Sure, an average engineer can do much more today, and the reason is because of these great engineers, and they are not fewer by any means.

Neither I, nor the article, said there are fewer great engineers. Only that fewer great engineers are (and fewer still will be) needed. Both as a percentage of all great engineers, and in absolute numbers.
It is a bunch of red tape.

Imagine 16 different groups all want 1000 GPU's, each decided they want a different type.
Ignoring even the GPU's for a second, somebody has to support programming them (now you get a whole bunch of incompatible GPU toolchains), etc.

Especially for something expected to be long term, it would be stupid to let this happen en masse without at least some different folks sitting down and talking about it, which is red tape.
I think the name "HHO" itself hints that some amount of bullshit is taking place - the electrolysis units are obviously burning a 2:1 mixture of H2 and O2, not some weird mixture of atomic hydrogen and oxygen or impossible isomer of water. Empirically (via youtube), there is a strong connection between "HHO" promoters and "water-fueled car" and "over-unity generator" fraudsters. Oxyhydrogen torches are pretty awesome - I've used both a small electrolysis unit for jewelry work, and a larger tank-fed torch for working with fused quartz. Amazingly clean and hot flame, with definite niche-applications. However, oxyhydrogen combustion (electrolysis-derived, or otherwise) isn't exactly a revolutionary technology. We've made industrial use of it since the 1860s [1], and the trend has been gradual replacement by other fuels and techniques (TIG, electric arc furnaces, etc) that are more controllable and lack H2's unique shortcomings - eg. hydrogen embrittlement, massive range of explosive concentrations, and incredible ability to diffuse through things.

[1] Faraday's 1861 lecture on platinum-group metals is a great example. Small-scale platinum casting is one of the big uses for oxyhydrogen - the combination of a high melting point and severe carbon embrittlement make H2 ideal for working with platinum.
I don't know if people are actually worrying or just bragging about how cynical they are. The whole "don't pretend you wouldn't sell out" thing is a HN cliche at this point.
Tor attack may have unmasked dark net users
Net neutrality is about the desire of ISPs to get paid from both ends of a connection. ISPs want to get money from consumers for getting access to content producers and service providers and from the latter in turn for their content being made available to consumers. The current system is that ISPs are just being paid by consumers for access to what's put online by content and service providers. Content and service providers get access to consumers for free right now. This plan by sprint limits access to consumers of this kind of connection to a single service that the consumer opts into. It seems relevant, but I'm not sure. Would net neutrality regulation prohibit something like this?
I'm not really a fan of having a second source of truth compared to in depth material already on php.net. The two will invariably start to disagree and php.net is much, much better than any spec or documentation I have ever read. Using Android is a nightmare compared to php.net because every single thing on php.net has extensive user generated documentation whereas Android is just some broken official docs. I submitted a bug report with a fix for the Android docs telling people to make dialogs in a way that simply crashed and didn't work and it was never merged in for years and years. So official specs tend to suck.
It is made so that it is later possible to understand who sent what, when and why.

I think that's a good problem to solve. Just a few minutes ago one of my coworkers walked over to another coworker's desk to explain a file they just uploaded to Dropbox.
No problem and please bring some cigars with them ;)

Now talking serious one friend of mine worked with Cuban Programmers. What he said:

"They have old and outdated machines so they are ninjas in optimizing the code to run faster"

It is not scientific but it was a first impression. Sometimes people from constrained countries HAVE to develop some skills that may be very useful for some companies.

It does not make , but it happens. By middle managers or by endomarketing as away to make people work more for less, classic examples are in company that are going bad

I also think you added a lot more in your commentary than was laid out in the article.

..and it is the best solution for guaranteeing confidentiality and the encryption need/problem - not to need it, since there isn't a server to eavesdrop on
I am... excited. Sadly, three grand is a lot of money for prgmr.com right now, so I'll have to consider carefully if I want to wait for production or if I want to buy a dev kit and start experimenting ahead of time, but ARM servers are something we have been talking about selling for a while.

Even if their performance per watt turns out to be not as great as expected, there is a fair bit of interest in the architecture, as far as I can tell.

These things look beefy enough that I might even be able to virtualize and sell Xen VMs. There is some dev work involved with that, but srn has expressed interest, so maybe .
Your data is missing a "physical security" dimension. I don't think Medellin would be in your top 20 if this was taken into account. It wouldn't have to be a kidnapping or mugging - just having your laptop robbed would be disastrous for a nomad.
Well, I don't find it valid to be frank. They might be valued, but they are valued less and less, and will be valued even less in the future.

An enterprise that used to need 100 engineers, with the cloud, SaaS, PaaS etc, can even today make do with 1/5 of that. Is there any trend showing companies needing MORE software engineers?
I find it interesting to see the reaction of HN crowds.

Services like this is common in 3rd-world country: they charge you for a very small monthly fee to connect to a select web services as opposed to the "all of the internet".

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Watsapp, BBM + E-mail only.

The services might grow or reduce depending on the popularity of the web services.
Simple Python Parallelism
Only thing I am missing here: Become realistic. You will need to make decisions. Some of your decisions might kill you. Some of your decisions might save you. Some of your decisions might seem scary and end up with no impact. Some of your decisions might look beneficial and end up with no impact.

At some point, you have to act upon instinct and that's fine. And in the case of a serious pandemic, we'll all die or end up in the stone age within 5 - 10 years anyway.
I wouldn't try to sell them - there's a lot of supply in that market right now. But people will always visit free once they know about it - it's then your job to figure out how to monetize them while keeping the nuisance factor for the user to a minimum.

That said, my site seems to get picked up in an unhealthy number of "top free images for your website" type list articles - I'm not sure if other sites would get picked up at the same rate, but you could always try.
It really is. File-sharing nowadays is half way done. It works good to share files across devices, but it lacks context in case of person to person sharing. Now we just need to understand how to present our solution, and you just helped us a bit, thank you one more time.
Being that the site is golang.org, I think the issue of SEO may have already been considered prior to its announcement.
So this raises two questions I hadn't thought of before. (1) Doesn't this totally wreck the ISP argument for charging Netflix extra? (2) What's to prevent me from setting up the same sort of caching in my house and effectively breaking the Netflix DRM?
I'd love feedback on the design of the landing page, the brand, or any marketing ideas you might have. We want to appeal to long-time bitcoiners and newbies alike.
I'm glad you found a workable solution. I have found no difference between a Psychologist with a Masters, or PhD though--at least here in America. At my age, I would question the motives of any Therapist who felt they needed
to get the PhD? Motives--meaning a PhD in Psychology is
kind of a joke. Personally, I think they like to use the
"Doctor" thing, and charge more. I can guarantee one thing,
and there's probally a double blind study floating around,
there's no difference in quality of Therapy with going with
a PhD, as compared to a MS in Psychology. (One of the funniest stories I heard is the guy who wrote, "Men are from
Mars, and women are from Venus" got his PhD from Columbia College in San Rafael, Ca.--yes it's true.)
As to medication, I'm on you side. Patients and Doctors have been lied too requarding the efficacy of medications.

Some do it by eating many small meals

I, personally, would recommend against doing this, especially if those meals contain carbohydrate or protein. The problem (and I realize Evgeny probably knows this) is that eating many small meals keeps insulin levels consistently high (both carbs and protein cause insulin to be secreted). While we don't have the direct evidence of it yet, most biological system, when exposed to a cellular input constantly, down-regulate the receptors for that input. Down-regulating insulin receptors is the definition of insulin resistance and insulin resistance is the first step towards diabetes.
Fair enough... it's not hated universally, but it is hated passionately by some.

Because g++ is already a programming-related term, and has been since sometime in the 80s. (It's the C++ compiler from the Gnu Compiler Collection)
A friend of mine noted that you could put self driving cars on the road in Italy right now and nobody would notice :-) I agree with the consensus that driverless cars are inevitable. And knowing that they are inevitable is kind of like knowing a train is going to derail on a curve before it does. You get some time to think about what is going to happen next.

In the train case you would do things like get movable property out of the way, for the cars you can think about things like a defensible yard barrier. Some people already do this for drunks, but putting a 12 - 14" 'step up' along the edge of the property that borders the street will stop most out of control passenger vehicles. Laws will get tested and litigated, new ways to analyze risk will be developed, planners will want to think about how they design roads/signage/maintenance around them.

I suspect this a 'moonshot' technology, which is one where you can demonstrate it in 1969 but can't actually repeat it commercially until 50 years later in 2019.
Obamacare Website Has Cost $840M
Yeah, upon seeing the github link I was thinking some poor sod had implemented some polynomial expansion algorithm, and had never heard of sympy. The it turned out to be sympy.

It goes without saying that the HN audience of startup founders who want to "disrupt" Instagram/WhatsApp/BBM/etc. are opposed to this.
It is a little disconcerting that a website that purports to enhance your cognitive abilities (implying they can can measure your current abilities) also won't agree to keep that data private.

But, alas, in today's market, this is completely unsurprising.

I did particularly like this line at the end (unrelated to the issue at hand, instead in a section questioning Lumosity's effectiveness):
"Disclaimer: I am not a neuroscientist. But I do know statistics."
Basically I'm importing logs and system events. I run queries like show me the top 10 events over the last 24 hours from this source that were marked critical. Or for each farm shipping web logs, aggregate on the hosts, and then aggregate on the status code, and then give me the number of documents in each summed for each hour of the day.

At the moment I roll up daily stats and store them in a separate database for longitudinal analysis, but eventually I'd like to ship data that is more than a couple of weeks old to hadoop.
The objects passed to the Object.observe callback function describe both the new value and the old value, FWIW.
I wasn't distinguishing between those who need a job and those who want a job. I was distinguishing between those who want to do the work (no matter their motivation) and those who just want to have the position.
2 things I am thinking:

1. If Bitpay was making a lot of money on payment processing, would they have gone to free forever? No!

- The reason is payment processing does not generate much cash! Certainly nothing that can support a 60 person team that bitpay has.

- There is very little bitcoin payment volume and not expected to be much in the near future. Honestly, despite how much press coverage it gets whenever a merchant accepts bitcoin. No one is doing big volume through bitcoin.
Certainly not at a volume that is meaningful to a processor.

- Bitpay says they processed 100m in transaction last year. That is false. Bitcoin price was around $100 most of the year. And in December it went to $1000/btc. And so they took $1000 and applied that to all the sales throughout the entire year

- They recently have a massive change in strategy when Tony Gallipi stepped down as the CEO and Stephen Pair became the CEO (original CTO). This is important, because since then the strategy became open source focused (very much like Redhat for bitcoin)

2. Bitcoin payment processing has incredibly low barrier to entry.

- Unlike visa and mastercard which has massive barrier to entry. Vanilla Bitcoin payment processing really just involves less than 100 lines of code. Like

Step 1: Use BIP32 to safely and securely accept payments (Keep the private key offline and derive addresses using the master public key on the server).

Step 2: Write a little script to run locally to hook up to a API to sell the bitcoin. Voila, you have basically got bitpay.

Like many other internet based service, the fees eventually trends towards 0. Unfortunately, monetization of bitcoin payments is going to look very different than the traditional visa/mastercard/paypal model and it cannot come from vanilla fees alone.

Because what used to be proprietary network/technologies has been mostly replaced by the bitcoin protocol itself. And so value has to come from somewhere else.
