Another great thing about Thinkpads is they're quite easy to fix.

I assume you mean the jack? That should be a separate piece, attached to the motherboard with a cable. If it's just wobbly, then it just needs to be tightened, possibly even without opening the laptop. If it's a poor connection, then you should be able to get a new one for <$5. On the T61, both of these things are dead easy, but check the T410 Hardware Maintenance Manual for the details.

(of course, now I'm thinking about the prospect of replacing this piece with a magsafe connector...)

I already mentioned that I use a password manager. The problem comes if I have to create a password on my phone, where I have a read-only copy of the password vault.

OAUTH is a far better solution in general. If there were a standard privacy-respecting third-party to replace the Google and Facebook options, I'd be all over it. But I'll happily let Google know that I'm playing a game in exchange for not having to manage yet-another-password.
*Edit: They are called scramblers in the book, not skimmers.
While that is absolutely true, I don't follow how that relates to my post? There is nothing inherent about the flexibility of a startup that means it has to be the frenetic roller-coaster that the thread starter referenced.
I love this idea of the <picture> element which hopefully most browsers will adopt soon but how will this support on the older iPhones that cannot upgrade to iOS7 (iOS8 soon). Especially with Apple not supporting these devices anymore.
Hmm. I don't think so, but anything's possible.

The problem in Parkinson's is degeneration of midbrain dopamine neurons which project to other brain regions that regulate and coordinate body movements. It's hard to imagine what connection would exist between neurons in the skin and the dopamine neurons in the brain.

That's not to say the skin's neurons aren't amazing in their own right. Very interesting research indeed.
Using its best guess with dependency, it creates the appropriate migration file(s) favoring more files over potential conflicts. I think that's fine. The problem is consistency. However you choose to run the makemigrations, it should at least result in the same amount of files. It can't be more or less conflict if nothing is changed.

Essentially everyone who needs those gets them through insurance, medicaid, or some such. They are therefore quite price-insensitive (which is it's own problem, of course).
It's silly because everybody knows Americans have a monopoly on the spelling of APIs. That was sarcasm.
Thanks - that is part of what I'm saying. Also, as another point, 'profit maximization' is predicting the future, and there is a lot of room for different views of what the future will be.
Everything? Hardly. Certainly everything important lives in the password vault.

But playing games? Why do I care if Facebook or Google knows I play a particular game? On Android Google is going to know what games I have anyway.

"MAYBE" it's easier? On a PHONE?! Let's see, I can click "Google" to log in, and I'm done, or I can...open my key vault, enter my 16-character-random-password into my key manager using a touch keyboard, and then do the copy/paste of the user name and the password.

What? I don't have a password for this site yet? Then I have to get my computer and generate the password there, because I don't trust "the cloud" with my critical password vault, encrypted or not.

It's so much easier to use OAUTH it's not even a close comparison.
Sadly, it doesn't look that good anymore. It's all boarded up with a "coming soon" sign for something that's probably some sort of elaborate scam on it. Pretty sad, actually.
I'm currently enjoying "Managing Humans" by Michael Lopp - http://www.amazon.com/Managing-Humans-Humorous-Software-Engi.... You can also read his blog entries on management here - http://randsinrepose.com/archives/category/management/.

The reality of people management is that books and articles will only take you so far. They can build a good foundation, but nothing cements the lessons like making mistakes, recovering from them, and learning how to avoid them in the future. Keep an open mind, don't be afraid to experiment, and look out for your team. Everything else will come through experience.
rebuild 100M lines from scratch? sounds impossible to me.

You can re implement the applications that are causing problems maybe one at a time maybe.

I don't understand what you want to get syntax trees for, but it sounds like you are gonna need to store them in a database and do queries on it if there really is info that you need.
That's pretty impressive. Given the size and importance of the mirrors, I wondered how they actually clean them. Came across this:

It's a semantics for the intermediate representation used by most of the LLVM optimization passes defined in a theorem prover.

With it you can, for example, write your own LLVM pass in Coq's specification language and prove that it can't introduce bugs by changing the meaning of a program.

I'm annoyed the link itself is NSFW, I would have expected something technical or a writeup to be the link.
Sorry, but there's no way I'd allow any cloud service to hold my password vault, and recommending it to end users seems like a colossally bad idea.

I'd want at least two layers of different encryption types (generated by distinct software) protecting any such file if it were to be stored in the cloud. That way if one software package or one encryption algorithm were compromised, there would at least be a chance the other layer would protect it.

So at the moment I put my vault on my laptop and copy it directly to my phone, but I don't copy it into the cloud, ever.

I might consider using something like SpiderOak [1] in conjunction with a Keepass encrypted container, for instance. But I haven't even done that.

NT was never a true microkernel (much less a hardcore one), and was never intended to be. It was never designed to have any protection between its internal "subsystems" (file system I/O, security, HAL, drivers, etc.) — everything runs in kernel mode, in the same address space, and communicates using direct calls, not IPC.

NT is sometimes mistaken for a microkernel partly because of the graphics driver problem, and partly because it contains a module which Microsoft actually refers to as "the microkernel". This part consists mostly of the scheduler.

What is true about the NT kernel is that it's modular, with strict internal API separation between each subsystem, and that kind of design was (as far as I know) inspired by actual microkernels, as was the idea of hiding the kernel behind "OS personalities" such as Win32.
Sinking ships may be the least of it. Some say Churchill allowed Coventry to be firebombed to keep from tipping the Germans off to the successful work at Bletchley Park.

>If this is a US operation, don't the US law prohibits entrapment?

In the same way that it prohibits all other kind of behavior that is regularly acted by law enforcement. From planting evidence to "cruel and unusual punishment" (e.g whatever sadistic game a cop or prison director wants to play on an inmate).
I wonder if they intend on placing the rest of the satellites into the same orbit to create another A-Train style satellite constellation. We need more sources of data like this, multi sensor, same point in time, same place of recording. It's a very cool project. A-Train and Sentinel as well.
I am not passionate about code
We chose MySQL where I work only because it's easier to hire people with a lot of MySQL knowledge. Technical reasons aren't the only ones when deciding what software/framework/libraries to use.
Probably this example is more accurately described as the 'ransom model'.
It seems that more and more people understand that the word has multiple meanings and connotations. Look at the widespread use of terms like "lifehacking" and "IKEA hacking".
1. Monitoring and administration tools for MySQL are (better?) more polished.
2. WAY easier to find MySQL DBA's vs. PG DBA's
3. More resources in general around MySQL. Whatever problem/issue you have it's out there already.
Seconded.

I have been at startups where it's a total mess that will never be cleaned, and I've been at startups where the code is always tip-top because everyone knows you get big B2B points for implementing their dream feature right after a regular "how are you liking our service" followup.

I haven't worked at mega-corps, but I've seen bits of code that is so much worse than imaginable that I expect there are places that scrape pretty far below the bottom of the barrel, but that might just be a volume issue (the worst 1% of code will be mostly mega-corp code because most of _all_ code is in mega-corps).

Here is the basic problem. When you build a product for savvy people, your interests are aligned. Savvy people will only pay you money when you build a good product. Thus, the only way you can make money is by actually doing good, by creating a product useful to other people. This is the happy coincidence that draws so many to entrepreneurship - we get to build things, create value, and get paid $$$.

When you build a product for less than savvy people, the easiest way to make money is by tricking them. Even if if you do not want to play dirty, you will be driven out of the market by people who do. You will be competing against people who make something look like a great deal (no down payment, zero percent APR!) but where it turns out the customer is getting screwed in the long term. You might want to sell a fair product, but since you are selling to less than savvy people, they ignore your product and buy the product that is tricking them, that looks like a better deal than it is. When less savvy people buy good products, it's usually products that are being passed on via reputation by the more savvy set. Thus if you want to build good products for the underclass, build it first for savvy upper-middle class people, and if it is good, it will eventually filter down, like email, smart phones, and a hundred other technologies have.
Computing a function and approximating a function are two different disciplines.

When approximating a function, one must also talk about the sense in which the approximation is being made. That is, L^2? H^1? Pointwise?
I actually just cooked shaksouka tonight. It's interesting to note that tomatoes are natively American and didn't even make it to the middle east until the late 1700s.
The subjective interview is academic, not a tally of your social contacts and social class. Then the "offer" is conditional on your performance on comprehensive objective subject examinations. It would be vanishingly rare not to get an offer for A * A * A * A if one were capable of scoring that well and few offers that I've heard of are for less than AAA.

The US elite university admission system is mostly based on sports performance, personal relationships ('recommendations'), racial balance, obsequious classroom obedience ('grades'), pedigree (more of your school district than of your family, but both count), popularity in desirable cliques ('leadership'), and avoiding working class activities (farming and trade oriented clubs are very bad for your chances). Uniform national tests barely count at all at any stage.
Cloud at Cost's Affiliate Program + 20% Discount
As a developer I have been using Cloud at Cost ever since they announced their one-time fee VMs; I immediately purchased two of their $35 dollar plans, and have since purchased quite a few more. Recently they announced an affiliate program, which means that people purchasing new Cloud servers can get them for 20% percent off; making their lowest tier one-time VM which would cost 35$, now only approx. 28$ for life.

Affiliates net a little profit as well. So if you've been thinking of purchasing a VM, and don't want the hassle of monthly payments, etc. You can own new VMs for life, and get some more money off, which are already dirt cheap. Or you too can become an affiliate and offer similar discounts.

I'm not in the mood for googling, so forgive my lack of sources, but by institutions I mean the catholic church, islam and others. We have plenty of documentation showing homosexuality to be common in ancient Rome and Egypt, and it is said that a word describing homosexual acts didn't even exist until the 19th century.
It would be beneficial to sit for an afternoon or two with someone who's done it and is willing to talk about it.

Most of the recent technology is pretty weak compared to 100 years ago. This is what my cordless drill looks like: imgur.com/ZWCcuyr.jpg.

As I mentioned elsewhere here, I did _everything_ wrong when I moved rural. Much of ESR's Art of Unix Programming is a blueprint for self sufficient living if you squint a bit.

Begin collecting pre-WWII farm tools ASAP. Sell most everything you currently own before you move - it's worse than useless.

Understand something - at some point you will become angry about how you used to live. It's okay. At some point you won't be able to visit a city without feeling a deep pity for the people living there. That's okay too. You may reach the point where you know you can't return to city living, because the people are crazy. They will feel the same way about you by that time. By then, there's no going back. You will have learned the difference between civilization and domestication.

Good luck.

Security questions are just horrible. 2FA is good, but these celebs have people that handle their social media, so even if the technical leaks are plugged, things would just move to social eng. tactics, bribe an assistant, etc.. Probably a number of people have a celebs Twitter password.

Pretty worthless statement by APPL. "happpens all the time", "not our fault", etc.. They should be called out for security questions in the 1st place if that's what they use at all. Even after Sarah Palin which was greatly publicized. These companies learn nothing.
The cutoff at 1800 seems odd given Louis Eustace Ude's _The French Cook_ comes out in French in 1813, and had a strong foothold in England prior to 1800. [1] If I understand correctly, he was also one of the first to bring what we now consider modern gastronomic techniques into British cooking. He may present an interesting case study for the period before Grimod and Brillat-Savarin.

Being Helpful – Interview with Kevin Dewalt by TriKro
I've been using a scheme that involve easy to type password, like: qwertyuioplkjhgfdsa/ qazcdetgbmju / rtyujhgfvbnm (if you 're wondering how to memorize those password, looks at the QWERTY keyboard). Combining with number and capitalization, I feel pretty good about my odd of surviving the brute force/ dictionary attack. But I can't quite quality the exact amount of combinations for those schemes. Can anyone tell me why this would potentially be a bad idea?

It doesn't hold up to SSL stripping very well. As we are working under the assumption of a compromised host, the absence of a signature on the Trezor when you don't expect one wouldn't raise any suspicion. The omnipotent host malware can remove all references to the payment request being signed from the payment gateway before the user sees it.
Oregon suing Oracle but still needs Oracle's help
I feel like the finger is being pointed in the wrong direction here. Were the images intentionally shared? No. Was it theft? Yes. However... you are a celebrity with no expectation of privacy, and privy to public attention and scrutiny. So is it illegal? Hell yes. Is it shocking? Not at all. Personally I feel like the blame should be placed on iCloud, and Android for making the default setting "save to the cloud". You want a solution, open a class action law suit against them both. I would be willing to bet that Microsoft is doing it too! Who really failed here, the end user, or the technology?
Sorry if this comes off negatively, but I'd like to correct some of the things you said in this comment. Chinese characters are closer to logograms than ideograms. Chinese characters are more than a representation of an idea.

The vast majority of words in Chinese and Japanese are not single characters. In fact, a very large portion of the characters cannot be used by themselves, at least in modern Japanese. Japanese is also heavily reliant on two other writing systems which are far less space-efficient. A single character of either hiragana or katakana represents only a single syllable of sound (such as か（ka),ぽ(po),し(shi),etc.). Unless your tweets were just very long noun phrases without any grammar pertaining only to things that can be written with Chinese characters (which means no modern foreign words), less efficient writing systems would be needed.

So, while Japanese may be slightly more compact due to the lack of spaces and the ability to assign a large number of sounds to a single Chinese character (such as 承る＝うけたまわる(uketamawaru)), it's still a synthetic language that can have very large conjugations (which have to be written in hiragana) and has a very unfavorable ratio of amount of meaning:syllables (partially mitigated by the use of Chinese characters).
Just had a read through. Overall a pretty impressive new release, I'll have to keep an eye on the feature interoperability/compatibility issues they mention at the end, but overall it's very cool.
> If you're itching to start something new, why chase the nth iteration of a company already serving the young, privileged, liberal jetsetter?

Because those are the projects which angels and VCs bankroll. Because those are the people who have disposable cash.

I was just reading an article on a conservative web site, actually one run by Ben Horowitz's father ( http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/dgreenfield/cbs-colbert-and... ). It talks about how TV doesn't care about older viewers, rural viewers, and increasingly only cares about young professionals on both coasts, and how television programming is being focused on such people. Not sure how true it is but it makes sense.

Audre Lorde once said that the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house, and capitalism is not going to solve the fundamental contradictions of capitalism, other than by imploding, as so many economic systems before have done (feudalism, slavery, primitive communism).

Also, anyone who has done work organizing working class people knows the solution is not for a genius from MIT to swoop in with some corporation to try to fix problems wrought by corporations. You see what is possible and organize around that. The American white working class once had power, and it chose to send bombers north of the Yalu river, support a war in Vietnam, on and on up to modern day with Obama's support of the Honduran's military overthrow of Honduras's democracy etc. The AFL-CIO saw it's steepest decline under someone who never worked or ran a union, but was involved undermining foreign unions in cahoots with the CIA and American big business. And on and on. Now they go down to fundamentalist churches and watch Fox News as they age, and slowly become a minority in their own country. Empowering white, blue collar Americans gave us No Gun Ri and My Lai. Thanks, I'll pass. I'm glad to see the sun setting on the white American working class.
What's wrong with Google docs for submitting? By using it he was probably able to whip this site up in a few hours instead of a day or two. Why waste time building something you won't end up pursuing?
It's not that it's easier to make money scamming poor people. It's just easier to make money scamming people period.

Rich people and poor people tend to fall for the exact same scams. The Vast majority of VC's are really running get quick scams to separate people / institutions with money from it. And if you dig into it so is much of the banking sector.

EX: Morgage backed security's are really AAA. See savings and loan crisis part 237: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savings_and_loan_crisis Yes, the banking sector collapsed twice in 15 years, look out 2020. Or roll back to the stock market crash of 1973-74 where the dow lost over 45% of its value. Followed by 14% annual inflation!

Budweiser is a classic example of non scam product targeting that demographic. And there plenty of others. Just think bingo card creator not twitter.

Ask HN: We Are Smartwatch Startup.Good Idea to Compete with Apple, Samsung?
We are a small startup in Bay and working on Smartwatch that looks like a Artistic Watch with movements and dials but Transforms into Smartwatch when desired!. We have a very unique product, technology, branding and positioning. We are working on refining our technology but looks like we are entering into a space when all Big giants are entering, killing the entire startup ideas with their Klout.
We are unique because we believe watches stood for art and craftsmanship where movements and dials represent elegance, class and personality of an individual. We wanted to preserve what watches stood for and created this product and technology.
However competing with big giants without exceptional marketing budget is going to be challenge.
Are there any experiences of folks on ideas that would either support or disapprove to enter this competing product field?
