Conclusion, strongly in favor of practical metadata:

"... Metadata can be quite useful, if taken with a sufficiently large pinch of salt. The meta-utopia will never come into being, but metadata is often a good means of making rough assumptions about the information that floats through the Internet.

"Certain kinds of implicit metadata is awfully useful, in fact. Google exploits metadata about the structure of the World Wide Web: by examining the number of links pointing at a page (and the number of links pointing at each linker), Google can derive statistics about the number of Web-authors who believe that that page is important enough to link to, and hence make extremely reliable guesses about how reputable the information on that page is.

"This sort of observational metadata is far more reliable than the stuff that human beings create for the purposes of having their documents found. It cuts through the marketing bullshit, the self-delusion, and the vocabulary collisions.

"Taken more broadly, this kind of metadata can be thought of as a pedigree: who thinks that this document is valuable? How closely correlated have this person's value judgments been with mine in times gone by? This kind of implicit endorsement of information is a far better candidate for an information-retrieval panacea than all the world's schema combined."

- The Mac Client for OneDrive Pro ( SkyDrive Pro ) seems to be 'In Development'[1] (OneDrive For Business Sync for Mac). But the OneDrive App works for OneDrive for Business too.

- OneDrive now supports 10GB files.[2]

- I am not certain but from what I know. The 20,000 limit is a suggested limit which isn't imposed. One can upload more than 20,000 files but above 20,000 files there is some sync issue with the present sync tool.

My wife was advised to try going gluten-free for a period of time to see if it would help with a condition she had been dealing with. It didn't help with that, but we did discover that she lost about 10 pounds and her previously regular bloating and intestinal discomfort went away. We have since observed a fairly strong correlation between consuming regular bread and bloating. So she largely eats gluten free foods.

But we don't go to overboard on gluten-replaced foods, and instead try more for food choices that just don't have gluten either way. Sure, we do have rice noodles or corn pasta sometimes, and I do have gluten-free bread in the freezer for her for occasional sandwiches, but we usually just eat more like East Asians or Mexicans and just don't have bread.

It's kind of like when I was ten, I noticed that sometimes I had bad diarrhea after we had spaghetti and so after running an experiment on myself, I deduced that a certain brands of sauce made me have diarrhea, along with raw tomatoes. I also discovered the same thing with soy sauce and peanuts, and although I no longer have that same sensitivity to soy sauce and lessened to peanuts, I still avoid those foods.

Basically, I think almost everyone has some sensitivity to some kind of food, most of us just don't know it. If you do have to avoid some kind of food, avoid it, don't go for a substitute.
Introducing License+ for Parents and Teen Drivers
Nicely written. I find that more often the CTO is connecting people outside the company to technology inside the company, they certainly have a mentorship role to play but Steve Kleiman (CTO at the time of NetApp) once described it as the 'technical headlights' of the company. There are technological changes that can be just as impactful on the company as business changes or changes in taste. One of those I got to witness first hand was the notion that SATA drives were "good enough" for NAS applications (as opposed to expensive FC drives). Getting the company direction changed so that it could intercept that change in the technological landscape was something Steve did quite nicely. And no, it is never as straight forward as saying "Let's do this ..."

The limitations you're describing (especially 20,000 file limit, collections, lack of a Mac client etc) sound like OneDrive For Business limitations, not OneDrive limitations. Best to think of the two as completely separate unrelated products because they behave so differently. Apparently OneDrive For Business won't get the increase until later 2015.

The OneDrive 2GB filesize limit has apparently been lifted & increased to 10GB per file:

> It seems like these bootcamps, done well and with the right sort of student, would give a massive 'level-up' into the current dev world. For mid-career types where there is a need to minimize time away from a paycheck, a 12-16 week program is a good fit.

I actually think that's an important niche that is being under-served right now. We often get career Java devs or .NET devs at our Ruby user group here in Dallas and they want to "break into" Ruby. Most employers won't give them a shot and they are then stuck in the "need experience to get experience" treadmill.

I was in the same boat and got lucky in that someone took a chance on me. But it wasn't a very easy path at all. Having a bootcamp focused on experienced dev with job placement at the end would have been worth its weight in gold.
Agreed. I could have (and sometimes did) passed every high school exam with decent grades (~B+) without studying, just by having actually learned the K9 material during the previous years. However, what I got out of the experience was 2 things:

First, I got a better grasp of the breath of human knowledge. It was mostly shallow, mind you, but in my mind it was like a buffet. You sample a little bit here and there, and figure out what you like and what makes you good (or sick).

Second, it is the social interaction thing. I think this is important, but not in the way you imply. What I learned most in high-school in this aspect was:

* How to deal with assholes.

* * What to do when you are forced to be around with assholes.

* * There are many kinds of assholes, and you should not deal with them in the same way (i.e. You can escalate conflict and make the typical bully back off, but this might prove a horrible mistake if attempted on the truly violent psycos).

* * Assholes can climb into positions of authority too (aka asshole teachers). You need to know how to fly under their radar.

* Dealing with Authority.

* * Authorities are not necessarily competent or event interested in fulfilling their nominal roles. You have to educate yourself.

* * Authorities do not care about your problems. You have to figure out and solve them yourself.

* * Authorities are very interesting in maintaining the status quo. You do not go around shaking the waters without reason.

* * * Unless you figure out how to turn status quo disruption into leverage. Then you go for it and turn authorities into unwilling allies in your dealings with assholes.
Two Tips to Being a Better Man (NSFW)
I like the coding challenge idea. I have a few "real-world" problems that I could put together that could be interesting to people. The only worry I have is that I don't want people to feel like they're coding for "free."
I suppose we should put that up, or at least clarify.

We never capture/store any credentials. Everything stays on your client machine.
> They clearly did not call it a fake condition.

Like hell they didn't. If we reform the sentence:

> Growing up in the 80s in Eastern Europe [autism] and the likes were virtually unheard of. Right now everyone has some kind of intolerance. I think for the majority it is [.] placebo effect.

In this context a "reverse placebo" and a placebo mean the same thing (since technically a reverse placebo is a real condition, making what they said before it contradict what they had just said, so we can only assume they meant to say "a placebo by a different route" rather than a "reverse placebo" which makes no sense in the context).

> You're being hyper reactive, and calling them dumb for something they plainly did not say.

There's no way you can explain away that post without it coming across dumb. They just took three conditions and called them placebos.

> It was extremely rare - in terms of being diagnosed - in the 1980s in Europe.

Sorry, no, that is not what they said. The term "diagnosed" never appeared in that post, and reading it back when you get to the part about popping antibiotics like tick-tacks the implication is CLEARLY about us creating fictitious conditions today or treating conditions which "rarely" exist.

You cannot just re-write their post and then claim the criticism of what they actually wrote originally is wrong.

Clicking on the text of the Worst Comment actually takes you to a different comment. :-)
I think this is what will happen:

1. We create a "real" AI -- not necessarily a GAI

2. Philosophy recognizes that we have created a real AI.

Actually, 1 might have happened. I think that once we get a concrete understanding of consciousness, we will come to recognize that we have already made conscious systems.
All other things equal, better equipment will allow you to get better shots. You are aware that the iconic Tank Man photograph was shot from half a mile away. It would have been impossible to shoot with today's camera phones.

I know that when I shoot my banal pictures of banal life, I prefer pictures where the focus isn't accidentally on the background or where the subject hasn't half-exited the frame because of a delay between pressing the button and the shot going off.

Most of us are not in the habit of documenting the Yakuza or happening to be present in world-changing events. We just want to take pictures that look good, even if the subject is banal.

Edit (since I'm not allowed to comment on the post):

> This is the part we disagree. Better knowledge will allow you to get better shots

We're not in disagreement. "All other things equal" means just that - all other things being equal - including knowledge. Of course a bad picture with perfect focus is still a bad picture. Likewise, a good picture can become even better if it's technically accomplished. Tank Man is an iconic photograph solely because of the subject matter. Ansel Adams didn't settle for a dinky rangefinder when heading out into Yosemite. He carried large heavy equipment because it would allow him to capture the detail and sharpness he wanted.
Apparently, this is my worst comment... which can't possibly be true:

Heh, it could be world-changing, but yeah, that's somewhat BS at this point.

I like your points about ownership, and how you distinguish the different forms of it. Both are definitely important.

Ask HN: Exercise is to sports as Learning is to __?
Yep, this would be useful. As allergic as I am to legalese, I know some businesses that could really use Expandrive, but they'd need to know privacy policy on how files are transferred. (When connecting to OneDrive, OneDrive permissions say that Expandrive needs access to files even when Expandrive isn't running, which sounds a bit scary & nonsensical.)

Aside from that, Expandrive looks amazing and like it will solve a great many problems.

I'm surprised Microsoft hasn't bought Xamarin yet. Mono being a first-class citizen (with an appropriate license) would do wonders to attract Java and non-MS developers to .Net - myself included.
I'm a hybrid project/product manager at an agency and am often juggling about 15-20 concurrent projects. My saving graces are Basecamp and Forecast (http://forecastapp.com/).

Basecamp lets me track the minutiae of projects and assign them to people, which means that nothing gets forgotten about and everyone can see what's going on with the project. Forecast visualizes the milestones for projects and track the timelines for multiple projects simultaneously. It's especially helpful for figuring out how to balance projects off of each other.

You have a point regarding real-time communication. As long as users can be confident ephemeral keys can't be compromised, they are far easier to use. But what about store and forward communication, and storage?

But you could also say that ephemeral keys are user controlled to the extent they are exchanged end-to-end and the conversation can't be evesdropped.

Your objection amounts to saying "We don't have easy, trustworthy key exchange backed by a web of trust."

Recruit outside sfbay.

A suggestion: if you go to a destination area like Tahoe, there are a small group of people that really really want to live there. Not every engineer does, but a few do. And that's all you need! Tahoe is also conveniently drivable from sf, in case you need to visit, and it is well under half the cost of living compared to the bay area.

Offer private or semi-private offices. I'm way more productive.

No ping pong tables and no pool tables. The loud cracking sounds made playing those games is distracting beyond belief. They're fine in a game room, but in the open they suck.

Emphasize adult lives. Set an example by coming in to work, working hard while you're there, then leaving. I've worked at a startup that regularly had people in the office for 12+ hours with, my guess, perhaps 5 hours of actual work getting done.
Looting?
Either it was poorly executed or disingenuously planned.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Dig

'The Big Dig was the most expensive highway project in the U.S. and was plagued by escalating costs, scheduling overruns, leaks, design flaws, charges of poor execution and use of substandard materials, criminal arrests,[2][3] and one death.[4] The project was originally scheduled to be completed in 1998[5] at an estimated cost of $2.8 billion (in 1982 dollars, US$6.0 billion adjusted for inflation as of 2006).[6] However, the project was completed only in December 2007, at a cost of over $14.6 billion ($8.08 billion in 1982 dollars, meaning a cost overrun of about 190%)[6] as of 2006.[7] The Boston Globe estimated that the project will ultimately cost $22 billion, including interest, and that it will not be paid off until 2038.[8] As a result of the death, leaks, and other design flaws, the consortium that oversaw the project agreed to pay $407 million in restitution, and several smaller companies agreed to pay a combined sum of approximately $51 million.[9]'

One thing I have not tried, yet seems viable, is instead of frequent 1:1's (which only really matter when there is a personal problem) is something similar to the Oxbridge Tutorial (small group of students sit with Professor and discuss problems at hand.)

I think this approach could hear fruit as it moves the discussion from "how are you feeling" and onto "let's have an open but focused discussion on the problems facing us - not writing code but thinking first and foremost"

When me or my teams think first, things always flow better.

Do you use a three level hiearchy on the image? I assume you guys first down sample to full resolution preview(like 600x400) and a low resolution preview. When editing, filter applys on the low resolution preview and then full resolution preview (1.5second latency). When exporting, you apply all the filters on the original image. Is it the case?
Exactly. I’m pretty sure that’s how it’s intended to be read.

For what it’s worth, I thought the dialog was excellently written. A scene like that more or less invites overwrought, ham-fisted lines but the writers exercised some remarkable restraint (and Gillen and the newcomer match it with their deliveries).
I've been messing around with the Google Camera app and the new Camera API provided by Android 5. It turns out that you can actually obtain a lot higher quality images by using the DNG (digital negative) of the photo, instead of using the JPEG. By "HDRing" images yourself, you can actually outperform Google Camera's HDR+ functionality.

Here's the JPEG, non HDR+ shot on a Nexus 5:

Here's a similar image shot with HDR+:

The recruiting game makes my blood boil, so I'll just point to some issues but the main thing is that tech recruiters are clueless about tech and don't bother reading about you or the target company before wasting your time, and I'm not even getting at having someone really look out for you actively trying to find a good match.

General issues or "Top 10 Mistakes Technical Recruiters Make":

- Not selling their company (or the position)
- Not looking into the prospect’s web presence
- Sending “cold call” vague email
- Not understanding basic technology
- Not disclosing basic information (an idea of salary, company)
- Using buzzwords, offering silly perks
- Not asking relevant questions
- Radio silence, not being responsive
- Not being clear on the process, what to expect
- Not understanding what motivates people beyond money

I think a good recruiter is not scalable in principle since it would need someone to get to know you a bit.
