Whats needed is better instruments, not better software. The problems of writing electronic music with a group of people is best solved by getting everyone sync'ed up over MIDI with their own local gear, and having at it .. you know, just like any other band over the years.
Actually, it can make a lot of sense to let a house rot until it's beyond repair.
what about non-technical founders?
And it's mostly bullshit. Those laptops will either overheat, if the OEMs trust Intel with the "4.5W TDP" claim, or will be much lower performance, or they will actually have a higher TDP.

Also people need to discern between actual reviews and "we've just copied all the info from Intel's PR" reviews. My link points to an actual review, yours to the latter.

Also this:

> Each API can have arbitrarily different concepts, paradigms, organization, and naming and calling conventions. Hence even APIs for doing the exact same things can (and do) look completely different from each other.

If they're "doing the exact same things" then they're the same API. That's what an API is -- it's a formal declaration of the function(s) implemented by the implementation. Its purpose is literally to separate the part that can be implementation specific from the part that can't. The purpose of an API is to be the part that can't.
The argument would be that the Policy Decision was simply the reaction to larger forces at play - in much the same way high oil prices resulting in fracking in the US and the Oil Sands in Canada being developed, and taking away market share from Saudi Arabia (weakening their geopolitical position), one could say that it was a foregone conclusion that Oil prices were going to drop in the 80s after the 1973 oil crisis.

That's the thing - every time you see a huge increase in the cost of anything, economic forces kick in, and there is a response.

That's a long winded way of saying there were much, much bigger forces at play than Sheikh Ahmed Zaki Yamani in 1985, and, his announcement can be seen as little more than the result of those forces.
> Please, I invite you to post your credit card records for the past year here. We'll be happy to look over them and leave some comments for you. After all, you've got nothing to hide, yes?

That's a ridiculous counter argument. If I buy a bunch of towels/etc. from an online merchant, I have every reason to believe they will not use any information they gather to publicly embarrass me or otherwise do me ill will. Their business relies on them not abusing their customers. If they showed any indication that they aren't trustworthy, I wouldn't do business with them.

On the other hand, I don't have any reason to trust someone on the internet requesting my credit card records in exchange for the privilege of being publicly embarrassed when they post it on the internet. The argument is never "I've got nothing to hide", the argument is that I have no reason to hide my Amazon purchases from Amazon.

Most of your examples are either non-issues or not realistic. My credit card company does have a right to see how much and where I'm spending - I'm borrowing their money when I make a purchase. I don't know of any service I use that sends my porn history to my boss (unless I decided to do it at work on computers owned by my employer). I don't know of any supermarket discount program that prevents you from shopping elsewhere - every rewards program I've ever seen is structured to encourage you to shop with them more, not punish you for shopping elsewhere. My wife has every right to scrutinize our bank account - if I didn't trust her I wouldn't have married her. If she finds out what her birthday present was, that's her loss for ruining the surprise, not mine. My annoying jealous nephew can get over himself - if he wants to come on trips with me then he needs to be less annoying.

If I don't want any of these things posted publicly on the internet, I a) won't post them publicly on the internet, and b) won't share the information with anyone that I don't trust to refrain from posting it publicly to the internet. Anonymity is not the same as privacy - privacy comes from keeping personal information to yourself.

So, to reiterate the grandparent poster asked, why does a distributed marketplace intended for legal trade need to run on Tor? Do you need anonymity if you're selling towels?
We never made any money, and I was the only permanent technical staff (but also technically the CTO) but we had some amazeballs clients - Samsung, Siemens, Tesco, RIM (while they were still cool), and so on.

When we stopped being able to pay me a salary, I turned it in to a real CTO job at a 150 person software company. Our client list gave some real credibility there, as did being able to talk a good talk and looking presentable in a suit.

I suspect this was a phenomenal career move: the previous startup CTO stuff, and any future small-company CTO stuff will be "real" in the eyes of recruiters because I've also managed a big team, budgets, etc - the "real CTO" role validates all the hacking code at smaller companies while claiming to be CTO.

I think there can be a credibility gap for a 30 year old team leader at a profitless company calling themselves a CTO, but having also done a more traditional CTO role at a bigger company allows you to regain that credibility. I can talk confidently about CapEx, OpEx, I've been through a rubber-glove-type due diligence process, been deeply involved in high-level strategy ... I feel like I could spend the next ten years doing 3 people startups again, but then walk in to another "big" CTO role if it didn't work out because of this.

Anyway, ultimately that wasn't what I wanted to do, as much as it was incredible experience. So the wife and I packed off to somewhere warm and cheap, she has a job that pays the bills and for the flat. I'm keeping myself busy by running a one-person R&D lab for a large listed company whose industry I have domain knowledge in, finishing my dissertation, and I've branched in to staffing because it's amazing how much quick cash you can make by messaging ex-coworkers on Facebook (and if you're a Perl developer in the UK: http://perl.careers/)
One of my startup's advisers intro'd me to the founder of a small consulting company whose mission I really loved. When I first started consulting, it was a nice opportunity to decompress from startup life and enjoy a job where I could basically clock in and clock out. A few months later, I was ready to start picking up some responsibility. I ended up joining the client permanently and it's been great so far.

On the side, I advise startups a bit, which is cool because it lets me keep the lessons I learned in my own startup fresh. I've come up with a couple interesting startup ideas myself, but I don't feel pressed to be a founder again any time soon.

I'd consider doing a startup again down the line, but I'd be very discriminating. I'm entering a more risk averse stage of life, and I think I'd rather position myself to join something as a leader that's already at least somewhat proven but still has a lot of upside. It takes a refined skillset to be viable for such a role, but that's what I'm aiming for.
Have you considered automating/outsourcing yourself out of a job? Properly set up Jenkins once, then convince the boss to move new development to Heroku?
You're right. To be absolutely sure I tried writing a little program that does the thing I describe in the post, https://gist.github.com/plesner/7a13b5c8d269315df645, and sure enough it breaks down completely,

round default: 0.072817
round up: 0.072703
round down: 0.072931

Now I don't understand how you get a reliable result using rounding modes at all.
have you put in the time and achieved the musical results that warrant the kind of bold statement you are making?
Obviously Apple has outsmarted us again. I love my Hackintosh with the "free" OS X (That I have had the last year (Coming from MS). But ... I finally got a iPhone a few weeks ago and I have bought for me and my so and children in the last 3 years: 6 iPads, 4 iPhones, 1 MacBook Pro, 2 MacBook Airs and 2 Apple TV's. We are now totally entrenched in the Apple Ecosystem. I love how all my devices now play together. The next six months we will likely buy 1-2 new iPads, 1 iPhone 6, 2 iWatch, 1 Apple TV and possibly another MacBook. So ... As long as Apple do not have any reasonable priced / hackable desktop I think they will be very carefull to not make osX harder to run "unofficially" on Hackintoshes. I actually get a feeling they make it easier all the time ...
Every art form has processes and techniques. Not every process is named or enumerated. Many artists treat their original processes like trade secrets, or only make any effort to share them with their immediate circle of friends.

The "Why" described is that when the instrument is a single computer running a DAW, it has poor concurrency. You could change the instrument model instead to one that re-enables concurrency. You are doing the inverse presumably because you haven't had a good jam session before and only feel comfortable sitting behind the DAW. To get around this problem, you're rationalizing a process which is actually less efficient than jamming, as it straightjackets the creativity into a "waterfall" process instead of an "agile" one.

There are several languages targeting the JVM these days. And, what obviously sets Clojure apart from other JVM languages is its Lispiness (i.e., the JVM is constant across JVM languages).

Clojure is not married to the JVM either-- in fact, it has been hinted that it would jump ship if something better comes along or the current situation becomes less viable. Furthermore we already have a dialect of Clojure called ClojureScript which targets JavaScript/node/V8.

And, I look at the JVM as really merely a library/API/runtime. C++ has STL and stdio and such and they are not part of the language proper but rather merely libraries for interacting with the underlying operating system (in a platform independent way). The same is true for the JVM with respect to Clojure and Scala et al.

I think you may have a more informed discussion on this question on Inbound.org simply because SEO is a huge focus of that community (vs HN) .

Not being facetious - and I'm not an SEO guy - but opinions on SEO by people who do not have expertise in it are not as relevant and may simply feed your confirmation bias, rather than get you (closer) to the true answer/conclusion (whatever that may be)
Sprinklers are very common, mostly dry-pipe systems to avoid water leakage. There are some alternatives like HI-FOG, which uses less water and therefore may do less damage to the room's equipment.

It is very undesirable for the equipment in the room to get wet. A sprinkler activation generally results in partial or total loss of the equipment in the room, and even if you can get stuff running again, it's going to take a while. However, it's even less desirable for people to die or the building to burn down.

Fire suppression systems that operate by removing oxygen from the room (such as Halon) can kill people who are trapped inside. I haven't seen a facility with this type of system in a long time.

Also, most datacenters have very strict rules about flammable material (like cardboard) on the datacenter floor. Most sites aren't super diligent about enforcing it, but just having the rules shifts the blame onto you. Imagine being on the hook financially for tens of thousands of servers because something caught on fire in your cage.

I probably should have clarified that the professor was himself a lay person. Basically the term "witch", "saint" or "heretic" was applied based on the social context of the individual, or a moral judgment made by the church or the population surrounding the individual. Heretics were people the Church didn't agree with, saints were those whose actions were approved by the Church. The Church has been known to change its stance over time, and some individuals have fallen into multiple categories at various times. Famously, Joan of Arc was at various points a witch, a heretic, and a saint.

Regarding Olga, she christianized Rus and here sainthood was recognition of that. I don't actually know if she was ever considered a saint by the Roman Church.
Am I understanding this correctly?

* Attacker has control of X number of tor nodes

* Attacker DDoS-es a hidden service, sending millions of requests to it

* Attacker hopes that at least one of these requests will be routed exclusively through their own tor nodes, thus revealing the IP address of the hidden service

That sounds neat. Is it a viable way to de-anonimize a hidden service?
Did many startups in my life and some failed; just went on to the next one. I promised myself (when I was 13; almost 30 years ago) never to need 'a job' and I never will do. If you have the same wish then just don't give up after failure.
You mean lie on the resume / hide their level of responsibility?

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever (beyond being dishonest, it would likely be surfaced in reference checks and stop a hire).

I'd see the startup experience as very positive, assuming they could articulate why the startup failed and learned from the experience. There's many startup CEO's who would make (and are) great sales, strategy, or product leaders, and CTO's who would be great fits for engineers, architects, or engineering managers.
In other words, a Sybil attack.
I'm not claiming authority. What I'm saying is: there are two camps, the FP guys and the language guys, and there's not a huge amount of overlap. I belong to the language camp.
That's the same warhead.
I've only held two jobs since my startup, and my first job directly led to my second job. I know for sure that my failed startup experience was considered an asset in that first job because the company was very entrepreneurial minded. It was a very natural fit.

Before I ran a failed startup, I was a grad student who never actually graduated (albeit, a very good one who opted to start a startup rather than write a thesis), and before that, I was a failing high school teacher teacher. So I have a bit of a history of not achieving unambiguous success.

Honestly, it really comes down to how you sell your experience. If the interview has behavioral questions, your running a startup should give you plenty of good fodder to pull from. Know the role you're applying for and be able to succinctly explain how your skills and experience will allow you to excel. Ideally, have some quantitative evidence of your capabilities. Don't be a know-it-all; come in with great questions and be a listener. And hopefully you can frame your startup, and especially its downfall, in a positive light.

One last thing, my personal opinion, based purely on my instincts, is that although I was technically President and CTO, I feel most natural identifying my former role as "Founder" (with responsibilities and accomplishments outlined), because we never quite reached a stage where we truly had executive responsibilities that would translate to an established company.
3 co founders, now working for our investors in their tech firms.
Just leave again, and in the next interview ask what will the responsibilities are, and if they include CI etc. The most important is to try to learn from previous mistakes and take it from there.

In an early portion of a career, moving often to gain experience is a good idea anyway.

In many companies these CI roles are handled by a different team, so apply for a bigger company. The bigger the company the more separated the roles are, and so the less likelly is to get assigned extra roles.

Also Remove CI from your CV, you would be doing yourself and recruiters/ hiring managers a favor by removing what you dont want to do anymore from your CV. This is perfectly OK as long as you didn't spend the last 3 years doing CI exclusively or something.

Almost all real world jobs are a combination of different responsibilities, and not only what the role title indicates.

In general focus your CV mostly around what you want to do, not what you where forced to do and didn't like, and don't want to do in anymore.

Send a CV with 2 years of CI experience on the frontpage? Get jobs that require CI experience. Don't mention CI in the CV front page and mention it briefly in the job detail section, the CV is still true but you don't get CI requests anymore.

The CV is a way to find you a job, not a weapon to self-sabotage your career. Focus the CV in what you want to do while still remain truthful and you will be OK.
Three arrests fail to solve mystery of drones flying over French nuclear plants
Islam, Christianity, and Judaism come from the same source, so it is natural that there is (sometimes significant) overlap.
The best course is probably to use 'Founder'. You're not really a C-level executive until you have a company big enough to require one.
> Christians seem to very rarely realise just how much of muslim faith is lifted straight from the Bible.

"Lifted" is not the word I would use to describe the situation, but yes, there is some overlap.

Back to your original point, yes, Muslims worship the same God as the Christians, it is just that Jesus is not considered God/son of God. As a matter of fact, Arab Christians also use the term "Allah".

Depending on the startup, mentioning themselves as senior developer might be the truth. Imagine the team was not larger than 5, team lead would work.

The title should reflect what the person actually did, also the CV is supposed to help find a job not self sabotage.

Saying to be a CTO when you where coding all day seems a bit fantasious and inacurate anyway. senior developer/team lead reflects much more the reality of what the person actually did in the job.

The IBM 1400 series is pretty significant in the history of computers and the 1401 was the first of it's line. So why are there so few out there?

Simply put, the average IBM 1401 is comprised of roughly five tonnes of gold-rich salvage material that hit the market at a time when old "new" stuff was basically worthless. Yes, antique chairs and china had value then, but not obsolete technology, records, or film. This was a time before VHS, mass market home video, and the notion that old celluloid was anything besides junk. The only surviving copy of Dreyer's cut of "La passion de Jeanne d'Arc" was sitting in closet in a mental institution in Oslo. This was a tough time to be an inconveniently large hunk rich in precious metals!

Laboriously scraping the gold off of connectors etc. is obviously a lot of work. That's not how the pro's did things. We're talking chemical baths, electroplating, you name it. I once had a prof who moonlighted as a computer salvager in the 80's. He admitted to being the final death of many large mainframes, including 1401's, that he dearly wished he could have saved if he'd known then what he knows now (or did at the time I took his course)!

The worthless becomes the precious. Maybe people with hoarding disorders are saner than we think! (Looking around me, I might have a touch of that myself...)

Show HN: Popular movies for every year since 1927
Have had that before; also where I was a bad co-founder. Usually it is just bad timing as I saw; decided to start shortly after which something else just collapses (personally, past business) in such a manner that the co-founder cannot focus. Someone I started doing an internet-of-things startup with in 2008 got hit by the crisis and divorce at the same time (they were probably related, but I don't know that). It went very well (we worked productively together and progress was great) for 6 months and then he just started to show less and less interest until, at some point, his Linkedin changed that he was now working for some big company. He forgot to mention that in the months before building up to it.
I don't understand the context of this post on torproject.org

Who is this guy? Nachash? Is he an operator of one of the illegal websites that were seized as a result of Onymous? He is talking as I would expect a sysadmin, so is that what you'd call him? He talks about inheriting PHP code, is he referring to the original SR source code? If so, how could he have acquired this source code?

Their is nothing so far revealed that indicates any heavy handedness on Apple's part. So far, all we've seen is a contract that two parties entered into of their free will, both seeking to profit from said contract.

Now, if it turns out, Apple had threatened GT with financing one of their Saphire Competitors to allow them to drive GT out of business if GT didn't enter a contract with Apple - that would be heavy handedness. But there is no evidence of any such behavior.
I got lucky and found an excellent job at a local company. No connections, no hope, other than a good fit.
