It might be DS emulation for 3DS. I'm pretty sure that DS games run under software emulation on that platform, given that you can do things like hit the "home" button to return to the 3DS's menu.
Well, that was upsetting to read.

I am pretty sure the only reasoning behind the original colors was that they are mathematically nice. Like #FF0000 for red and #008080 for teal (with the exception of orange, which wasn't one of the original 16). The colors were not chosen for aesthetics, that is for sure.
I was disappointed that the article didn't acknowledge the impact globalization has likely had on the increasing number of 'Older Firms'. Global markets bring massive opportunities, but large corporations are better positioned to succeed in a global marketplace. Global markets also means global competition - for jobs and for entrepreneurs.

I mostly agree, but I find it vaguely interesting that a service as large and distributed can still have a "down for significant numbers of people"-type event.
Google is definitely in better shape than you are. Quarterly earnings last quarter were about $3.4B.

Put it this way: $4M is about the fully-loaded cost of a team of 8-10 engineers over a year. Projects involving 8-10 man-years of engineer time get canceled all the time.
It was rather quietly announced earlier this year, during a financial results briefing.

Hi! I'm RJ and I feel that whatever's worth doing is worth doing AWESOMELY. For the last 2.5 years, I've been re-training in data science and using those skills (plus those gained in some simple ML research projects from college) to help write a fully-automated money-lending application, as well as the financial model under it (informed by hundreds of data points gathered from dozens of sources), and the distibuted, scalable systems which integrate with third-party APIs to gather that data, and the website that exposes it to the world. I'm pretty awesome, but worked with enough geniuses to stay humble, showing me how much more there is to learn and how much more awesome we can all help each other to become.

I like brains (real and artificial), so my current side projects are to record and analyze brain-wave data from an EEG, and to build a neural-network-based genetic algorithm to power a Street Fighter AI. That last one may be a bit overzealous, but it's where my interest lies.

The point is there is not one overarching mastermind organization controlling it all, but that's what it's made out to be. They might as well call it COBRA so they can send GI Joe in to save the day. Al Qaeda. Bah. If the IRA didn't exist long before 9/11, they would have been labeled Al Qaeda too.

He could have left. But he decided to take the "honorable" path instead.

Because someone suggests you kill yourself doesn't make it any less killing yourself. This applies to ancient Japan as well. That was my point. The custom of "honorable suicide" wasn't confined to ancient Japan.
Octopart - UI/UX Designer - New York, NY [no remote] - http://octopart.com

We're looking for a talented designer to make our electronic component search engine beautiful so engineers and part buyers fall in love with it. You'll be working closely with our frontend engineering team to develop a consistent design language which spans all of Octopart products.

Octopart sits at the intersection of electronic hardware and the web. The design challenges we face are unique:

- How do we display dense, highly technical information in ways that let the user process it without thinking too hard?

- How do we redesign our search interface so that searching is more natural and intuitive?

- What's the right design language to use to communicate with a userbase that is partially engineers, and partially component purchasers?

The problems are hard, but the results will be rewarding, as our 700,000 monthly users spend less finding parts and more time designing new hardware. Your design skills will grow as you tackle these problems with us.

We're looking for someone full time, but we're willing to start of working together on a contract basis.

We're based in NYC near the flatiron, we're backed by Y Combinator, we're a team of 14, and we've been profitable since 2010.

Please send a link to your portfolio along with anything else to jobs@octopart.com. More info at http://octopart.com/jobs

One month should not be the industry standard for shutting down a service. It should be at least double that.
SEEKING WORK - Remote, currently based in SF

In the words of one of my clients, "If we never had you, we woulda been fucked"

Companies hire me to tackle their technical debt and make the rest of the team more productive. I write tests, I refactor code even you don't understand anymore. Gone through a bunch of freelancers and feature changes and your code is a mess? I'm your man.

When you hire me to work on a new codebase, I make sure you won't need someone like me a few months down the road. I will help you find the best balance between speed, quality, and price.

Email me -> swizec@swizec.com

For website, github, and whatnot. Just google "swizec".

PS: my focus is on web apps, but I'm always up to learning something new
Revelations 21:8 (King James Version)> But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

It mentions sorcerers, other versions of the bible mention practitioners of magic. So basically most people who read HN are condemned to the Lake of Fire.

Maybe they should be limited to a single account? Currently there are at least eight threads about FB.

And isn't the interesting discussion during the post-mortem?
AFAIK they are changing the way 3rd party applications are integrated with FB, using a special set of user IDs for each app, and other privacy related changes which will limit the amount of user information apps get. It's a completely new system and probably tested on smaller user base than the entire FB. My guess is that it went into production worldwide today.
