There's a literature on burnout. Burnout is the qualitative word for stress induced sterility -- ie "Things are so bad that having a child right now would be disastrous"

(ie people reporting burnout are usually temporarily sterile, people who are "stressed but happy" are usually not sterile)

This is why burnout correlates so strongly with being overworked. Your body is rightly concluding it can't reproduce in your current situation, and gives you a strong prod toward fixing the problem.

Apparently Marissa's "resentful meter" correlates strongly with her body's "I can't reproduce in this situation meter". I don't think this is true for most people.

The "room temperature" is repeated over and over there. What about the heat transferred to the glass at summer?
I agree. It's not that simple.

Increasingly I realise that a lot of the active hostility towards online advertising could be solved if content creators take more responsibility over the message they "sell" to their audience. As oppose to leaving it to the Big Ad guys.

As a content creator/owner, if you outsource/sell your ad space to Google et al. you are disengaging with your audience and running the risk of alienating it.

Now, I know selling ad space can be a tough business. But who would do it better than the content creator?

Forensics and the Internet of Things: the car will be a data goldmine
I graduated with a BEng Civil Engineering but I've always loved to code (started with my TI85 calculator). Even while working as a CE I was automating AutoCAD with Lisp and C# to make my design work faster. But I finally decided to become a full time programmer after 7 years and boy was that a defining moment in my life!

I had the same problem with recruiters, telling me that I couldn't do this because I didn't have that etc... So I decided that if nobody wanted to employ me I would employ myself and start my own consultancy. I haven't looked back since and my only regret is that I didn't make this decision earlier.

Don't let anyone put you in a box. Do what makes you happy and blaze your own trail!

If you feel that you need a CS degree then nothing stops you from doing an online masters in computer science. They're great because they enable you to work while studying.

Good luck
Israel approves Intel's $6B investment in chip plant
This sort of research has the potential to change the mental health field entirely .. and of course the psycho-pharmaceutical industry as well. So I imagine there will be a flurry of 'counter arguments' to this thesis over the coming weeks, as PR flacks from all the majors start to get wind that we may have alternatives to their dependency chains.

I for one welcome our gut-chemistry overlords. The gut is a little more accessible to the common man than the brain, so at least if this all proves to be a viable thesis, we can do something about it without requiring major dependencies to psycho-pharmaceutical industries, whose desire for our dollars is derived from their own gut-borne vermin ..
Calm your attitude, they made a decision on what is important to them, just as did you. Their deciding differently doesn't make you right and them wrong.

If you're not competing with anyone then sure. The algorithms can be found in economics textbooks, the implementation isn't hard if you don't need insanely low latency. The trouble is that if you get your bids in slower than everyone else (with penny spreads there is no way to compete on price) then no-one's going to trade with you.

Highly unlikely.

I think that the bill has been poorly drafted. I don't think that ASIO are interested in monitoring the entire internet. To me, I think the intent was to allow ASIO to monitor a home network with one warrant, given the prevalence of people having multiple computer devices.

I do hope that the government tighten some of the definitions within the bill, rather then relying upon courts to narrow the interpretation.

Renial Cancer I was suspected of having had chances of recovery in Germany of 60%. In the US over 90%. Yes, in Germany it is funded by taxpayer. Yes in the US I would be bankrupt. But I think it is obvious which system is much better in that particular case. I think that all of us would rather be bankrupt than dead. And this is big issue that just isn't discussed in the politics and media.

RogerVoices: Phone call for deaf people
I don't understand. I see that the fix causes bash to ignore function definitions in the environment variable. But why should bash interpret the variable's content in the first place, and not treat it as a string? I suppose that someone can use eval if he really wants to execute it.
PossibleDB
It is, the 64bit version is really fast, similar to SBCL. But that's already kind of a local maximum. The GC and the rest of the runtime is better, probably CLOS is more optimized, ... LispWorks does not type check code much, but it has type inferencing when optimizing code.

'They are so tunnel vision that they just refuse to acknowledge what a 90% failure rate means.'

yes it means 1 out of 10 becomes fabulously wealthy and semi-famous...those are pretty great odds as compared as going to work for someone else.
The mistake is to paint the situation as black and white, which it's clearly not. There are plenty of failures and successes across the spectrum.
An excellent way of putting it ekidd. Exactly what I came here to say. I work for a small startup and I am the one wearing the sysadmin hat most of the time, and every single day I imagine these disaster modes where it could cost us almost triple what we would have payed Heroku and others (Granted, we have technical reasons why we are using bare servers, nothing to do with money). Icing on the cake is that I am going on vacation this coming Tuesday. :D

Always reason about stuff like this in terms of disasters. They are far more lethal to our company than the occasional $1000 you will be giving a dedicated hosting service.
Well, yes, it would have happened eventually, but consider that it's like the difference between death and murder.

Interesting.

I'm yet to see a good public implementation of conversational question answering. It's pretty clear Google is headed down that path with Google Now, and I guess Siri is going the same way.

Traditionally question refinement is done using filters and clustering, but of course this focuses the result sets, and is the opposite of what you need in conversational question answering.

This is an example of Generalising From One Example[1]. The author doesn't have enough information to draw the conclusions that he has drawn. In other words, it's essentially nonsense.

It's not irrational, my eyes get incredibly dry and burn after several days of CFL light. CFLs leak ton of UV [1]. It got to a point where I couldn't use a computer or read a book for longer than about an hour, even with copious use of eye drops. Fortunately I figured out the culprit.

This is one of examples why totalitarian decisions like banning incandescent bulbs are always bad. Banning something only makes sense when it impacts third parties.

LEDs are way too expensive to be economical now.

6 Tips to Keep Weight Gain at Bay While Travelling
I fail to see anything heroic or noble about stealing, no matter what reason and from whom. Anyone who had anything stolen from them will understand that it produces a huge feeling of insecurity in your own home(or about being in your own town), no matter how small or cheap the stolen thing was. Yeah, great that he hasn't harmed anyone while stealing - I still have absolutely no respect for what he was doing.
nice! Looks good!
I think the main part about being free software is not that the code could be reviewed or whatever, but that the software respects its users' freedoms. And for me, that alone is a good reason to respect the software and its developer.

XPrivacy is a great example. Another one would be "Conversations" XMPP client, that is FLOSS, but is a paid app on Google Play. Even though I wouldn't call it completely mature yet (it's 0.7.x and lacks some polish and minor features), it's a good app that does its job very well and 1-5k users (not bad for non-gratis app, I guess) seem to agree.
"personally responding to every single HN post about Stripe I've ever seen."

They haven't responded to any of my questions posted here. My email question was left unanswered as well.

I guess if you are building a service catered to customers from a very small asian country and currency which they say they support/accept, you are SOL.

I love Stripe's design and ease of API implementation but when they don't answer a simple question about a foreign exchange fee, I have no choice but to go with a local company who replies and even calls you to help you with setup and answering questions.
TRWTF moment for me while reading this article was that my wife's uncle actually broke his ankle while playing Ingress :)

When there are two ways to light a room, yielding the same amount of light, but one uses much less energy, it is the superior one.

Not necessarily. What about manufacturing costs? If manufacturing a CFL/LED is more labour or capital intensive then it's production uses resources that could have been used to produce other goods. If that's the case then a ban on incandescent light bulbs has a hidden cost.

You shouldn't look only at the visible effects but also at those invisible. A great essay That Which is Seen, and That Which is Not Seen [1] by Frederic Bastiat comes to my mind. It explores this kind of situations.

There seems to have been some confusion about the effect of this feature on PHP in previous threads on HN. If you are running mod_php you are unaffected even if you use exec / system etc as the Apache PHP SAPI doesn't pass the environment variables to the sub process.

However if you pass any user data (_POST, _GET, etc) into a system/exec etc call that sets an environment variable then you would be vulnerable.

The uncited experts who's authority I'm fallaciously appealing to say your experts are wrong and a bunch of jerks. It's also a bit silly to participate in a discussion and suddenly declare that it's not your responsibility to participate after logic fails you.

Get Better Sleep: The Guide to Overcoming Sleep Deprivation
I get your point, but it might be you do not want to build a $1B company.

Y-Combinator is designed to build $1B+ companies, however, it is not designed to not build $1B companies at all. So if you don't want to do that, yes do not work 80h/week. However, this way, you are also very unlikely to build a company of that size.

If you want to build a huge tech-company like Uber, Twitter, AirBnB, you will need to spend all your brain capacity for what you are doing in order to make a company like that happen, you will simply need to sacrifice a lot, friends, sports, having a girlfriend, sometimes even sanity. Most people would never do that and that is fine, however, there are some people can't imagine doing something else, because they really, really want to change the world and there is nothing else that would give them more satisfaction. This is not possible as a side-project and the evidence is that the huge companies we have these days were not built part-time. They were built full-time, probably double full-time.

Hope the other point of view makes a bit more sense to you now.
tldr; Author gives away work for free, navel gazes in detail about how many people didn't compensate the author, argues that they should because it is in their best interests. I hope I spared someone the bore. Also included, a rant about adblockers and how bad they are for the web.

My advice: if you want to see book sales, just put a price on your work. And it's not the only way to benefit from a book, financially or otherwise. Spare the world another boring rant how everybody should adapt to make it easier for content creators to get paid. If the ad industry had any kind of self control, people wouldn't have to go through the trouble of installing an adblocker. But we don't live in such world, so why not move on. Not only does an adblocker spare you from having to see ads you'd never engage with any way (and which would otherwise be wasting away precious seconds of your life) you get faster loading pages that are vastly safer. It's in content creators best interests to find ways to fund their work that are also in the best interests of the reader.

The real question is, how to make money providing content. There are many viable answers. Ranting about how people don't behave the desired way is a useless exercise.

I open sourced two new AngularJS projects I built this year
This issue is an awesome demonstration of how bad closed ecosystems are. The open systems that are running on Linux (RedHat, ubuntu, etc) are patched and updated.

However, OSX which is also affected is still waiting. If I owned an Apple server I'd be screaming right now.

Embedded devices with closed eco systems are also stuffed (we've got to moved to open router firmware like OpenWRT). Basically, you can carry on as normal if you use open source the way it was intended.
Legal problems and technical problems aside, what are you going to gain by intercepting the traffic? Most of the traffic is going to be market data and order data which are public information (well, order data is public once it hits the exchange). You can take advantage of knowing about order data before it hits the exchange but then you'd have to transmit that information extremely fast, which using a drone (and against those huge radio tower) is going to be pretty much impossible.
Which brings to mind the latest push for systemd as an init replacement. :/

Name, Address, Email and Password. How is this different from any other site that ask for the same information?
wo wo wooooo
The encryption would take too long.

I don't think the data is going to be very useful. Your interception would block the signal, so this would be a very temporary exercise.

They are using the towers to transmit information from the exchanges (already publicly available) and their own transactions (soon to be publicly available).

One use for this information might be to beat the low-latency masters at their own game, and act on their trades before they arrive.

It's theoretically possible you could design a system which would relay exchange data from the drone at such low latency you could compete with or beat other data feeds for a given location. That would be a valuable commodity, but hard to capitalise on in the short period of time between the drone blocking the signal and the data being re-routed.

It sounds as if anyone with the capability to use the intercepted data would do better using their efforts elsewhere.
If anybody would ask me "should I learn emacs or vi?"

If it were possible, say, to create a light bulb that lasted 1,000 years for a dollar. Who could afford to make such a thing?

I sense that you think manufacturers don't have an incentive to produce quality products like bulbs that can be used for a long time. I think you're making a mistake which I'll try to illustrate with an example.

Suppose light bulbs cost 1 USD each and last 1 year. I invent a new light bulb that is the same except it lasts 2 years. Would you say selling it would be a bad deal for me? Of course if I were to sell it for 1 USD then it certainly would be. But the value of my bulb to consumers is at least 2 USD, because it's equivalent to buying and using two competitors' bulbs! Manufacturing costs aren't relevant - if my bulb is cheaper to produce then it's even better for me.

You shouldn't look at the cost of production because it isn't the only factor. Take a look at e-books, for example. Sometimes they're even more expensive than paperbacks!
