Relevant portion: "Lockheed and the Joint Strike Fighter program office ultimately traced the problem back to the shape of the hook and a faulty wire dynamics model supplied by the Naval Air Systems Command. The solution was to reshape the hook point and adjust the system’s hold-down damper, which helps prevent the hook from bouncing around upon touchdown."

I've heard of them before. Seems like they are largely for bigger players with offline touchpoints. How do they do with online SaaS companies with sales cycles 30-90 days out and a variety of content efforts, social media, video campaigns, etc.?

The flip side is that it is thoroughly expected that you remain loyal to your establishment. No going to a restaurant just because it's close by. You go to your good friend's restaurant instead, even if it's across town.

This arrangement isn't free or magical. It exists because of the cultural wrappings.

Calculations for the renewable energy input are complex. The PVWatts Calculator[0] helped determine that a vast array (10,000 m^2) of solar panels at 46% efficiency could produce 5,182,905 kWh per year.[1] Whether that would be sufficient power to grow the plants (using lights casting 303 lumens per watt at 350 mA[2]) is unknown at this time.

You'll never regret it, and although every language is ultimately worth criticizing, it's worth having a project of your own to refine or learn from.
According to Wikipedia, NSA's share of Federal budget outlays was about 0.28% in 2013 (although there's a conceptual question whether you can just multiply your tax bill by 0.0028 to find out your contribution to NSA's budget, because Federal expenditures are also funded from sources other than personal income tax).

Diagnosing weird problems – a Stack Overflow case study (2012)
Rights are different from laws. There is no 'right to be taxed', but there are rights to privacy. Alleging that basic rights do exist but should only apply to human beings who live inside the borders of your own country is just a fundamentally bigoted position.

It's essentially admitting that certain lines should not be crossed in allowing people a decent and dignified existence, but then proclaiming only 5% of the world deserves that dignity due solely to the accident of where they're born. You might as well be separating the world into 'people who matter' and 'people who don't', which, as we've learned through history both ancient and recent, provides a great basis for activities like torture and genocide. Not exactly what you'd hope for from an enlightened democracy.
It isn't secret, and it is being developed.

In theory yes, but it's basically not optional when the overwhelming social consensus is that you're a horrible person if you don't tip, even for mediocre service. Maybe it started out as a way to reward excellent service, but now it just allows businesses to deceive customers by posting prices that are less than what you actually end up paying.

Ask HN: Advice to CFA level 3 and MBA Finance person to land a job in a startup
"Posting this on behalf of a friend, his account is too new to post"

Hi

Qualifications: MBA-Finance from a premiere B-school in India, CFA level 3, appeared for Chartered Accountancy final exam last month.
And yes, I am a fresher.

I am starting to look for a job now and I would like to work in a startup since I find that exciting. However, I am not very familiar with the current startup scene in India/worldwide in Finance domain.

I'd really appreciate if I could get some guidance or starting point to find better opportunities.

Thanks
No contradiction. The customer has the choice of covering the tip with money or with social retribution.

Either way, they're the ones paying.
Fully agree there is a lot of fluff out there, and some of that is people trying to generate ongoing news or indexable content where there isn't really anything worth putting out.

That said, I'm not sure I agree with your take on the new terms. Sure they are buzzwords to some degree, but I see content marketing as distinct from PR in that it largely focuses on content creation, has considerations for SEO, etc. One could argue that PR has those components as well, but I see the distinction as PR focusing more on outreach to key individuals in the media, handling issues management, etc. Again, some overlap for sure, but I don't see content marketing efforts doing everything PR does or vice versa.

Again, people need to read a variety of sources, and part of the problem is there is no great way to tell whether a source is credible. But I think it is better that people start going down the rabbit hole than wander around completely oblivious.

Since you seem have a high threshold for what you consider value sources of industry info, do you have any recommendations for how others might discover those on their own? I'd be curious what you consider reputable sources.
Yes, I've been an active kuro5hin member since 2002.

Oddly, I am considered not notable enough for wikipedia, because someone made the argument that I am only known at k5, despite being widely published, having led the development of some protocols, invented things, written a whole bunch of highly regarded software products.
Can the documentation or user experience be improved to prevent that issue from happening to someone else?
What I personally am talking about, would apply when the phone is powered on, for example while it is in my pocket, available to receive calls or texts.
I don't think it's for everyone. I would compare it to posting your idea on kickstarter, it's just that kickstarter is a more established platform so it feels safer.

I've also tried to address this feature with a "private" feature. Which lets you post a snippet of your idea and users can request to view the whole idea if it sparks their interest and they want to know more.

It's an interesting idea - but I'm skeptical that they can create a generalized data model to support predictions across a wide variety of industries or verticals.
I know Steve Dekorte and remember him bringing me along to visit David Ungar over beer and pizza more than a decade ago. :) Io doesn't quite address the goals I wanted, and it was dynamic in ways that prevented some optimizations. But it is rather charming.

Slate had some design goals, but a lot of the goal was general, like "how much can we fit into Smalltalk and still have that core idea be recognizable and coherent?" Multimethods, prototypes, macros, optionals, etc. were all just a part of that.

We did spend a lot of the project's focus on how heavily we could leverage multimethods to clarify and collapse code. Slate probably uses multimethods better than any language I know of, although I admire what Julia does with it within the Matlab/R compatibility constraints.

Mainly, we wanted to take operating systems and meld them with computer languages. The TUNES project says a lot of what I think about that (with a good deal of ideological distortion and handwaving, but that's group editing for you).

Honestly, I checked Alan Kay's philosophical reading list, and its depth in phenomenology and developmental psychology was stuff I covered in college. While he belongs to another generation, I'm keenly following the ideas of the FoNC project and hope to deliver something that takes that to an everyday context broadly.

My brother had a condition where he would develop a rash if his skin were touched by anything. After a shower his entire body would be covered in raised welts. Aftsr seeing multiple doctors and dermatologists he found someone that specialized in that condition. Strangely part of the treatment was an antidepressant or anti anxiety medication. So I wouldn't be surprised if a large part of their condition is neurological.
Statistically speaking, that's a 12 point spread - 44% and 56%. Indeed, that's huge in politics. Most modern Presidential elections are won with 52-53% of the popular vote at best. [0]

Hispanics, as you noted, are over a 30 point spread.

So politically speaking, having only 44% of the female vote and still winning requires a very large (political) majority of voters voting Republican to be male. Add to that age, and again we're seeing clearly that old white men are the key demographic. [1]

It's not that you and I see percentages differently. It's the political significance of the margins that define the argument.

Clojure deserves a lot of respect for attacking concurrency in a totally new way, but I would not call it mainstream.

Homoiconicity is overrated; Atomo and Atomy represented better where I wanted to go, which is to adapt notation to the problem, even have it be flexibly remapped and recombined per modular scope.
Hmm. So maybe, within the bowels of listservs and whitepaper archives, we hide a secret repository of slick, sexy marketing pdfs that engineers can print, cover in a shiny plastic folder, and strategically deploy as a measure of last resort.

Or just work to make developer<->management communications more effective.
There is nothing glorious about clicking a button only to have nothing at all happen because a fragile dependency system is broken, making the entire site less usable.

I use Ghostery to block a lot of tracking JS. This includes things like FB stuff. The number of sites that break because a call to "FB.init" throws an exception is astonishing.

It's ridiculous how quickly people (by which I mean developers) have forgotten the concepts of graceful degradation and progressive enhancement.

There are very few use cases where a web application simply cannot function without javascript.

I was perverted by AutoLISP and CADForth in the very early 90's. By 1995 I was in college and researching on my own, found Self and Squeak and made a rather stupid but fun little lisp that ran on DOS4GW and built a Motif-style Morphic-like UI out of it.

And then I threw it away as a learning exercise. It was a few years of skills building before I really tried to make a language project. Slate had a few incarnations which were quite different from what it currently presents as.
Millions at Risk from Misfortune Cookie SOHO Router Vulnerability
I built mine on an Avoton Intel Atom C2750. It's the first amd64 Atom, the first to support ECC memory, and has 20W TDP. It runs FreeBSD 10.1 and I'm very happy with it. Before Avoton you had to go for a Pentium D or a Xeon for ECC support on the Intel side.

Sorry to hear about your bug hunt ordeal. I have had a similar bed-bug problem once; albeit on a smaller scale. Catching them turned out to be simple in my case. Hopefully this will be useful to someone:

I used a mosquito net which tied on top of the bed and wrapped around the edges of the mattress. I left the net always wrapped around the mattress even when I was not sleeping-in. I found that the bed-bugs would eventually accumulate at the top of the net. Everyday, a couple of them would be found there and I just had to eliminate those.

After about a month, they had all been trapped and exterminated, and the infestation had died.
Generate Secure Configuration with `sslmate mkconfig`
I will say that I'm not done yet; I fully intend to build a practical system that hands the lessons of FoNC to the everyday context. I've learned a lot over the years and tried my best to smooth out my early rough edges.

The question is how to do it and with whom and for what audience.

Alternatively, they had a problem that was easy to find, relatively speaking.

No argument here.

The problem I have in practice is images are so often lacking, or they start you off with an alien universe full of preconceptions rather than just a collection of tools. This isn't an inherent problem, but it seems to show up half the time or more.

I want to like images, but I think what I really want is a system that has a fully functional base state with a good image that can be (and usually is) loaded at startup. I guess that might get in your way if you're worried about optimal performance.

I thought the talk about Siri being a service orchestration engine was pretty interesting. With the growing amount of internet services, and most importantly, services competing within the same domain, perhaps the most interesting web apps of the future will be mostly amalgamating the data between these services in intelligent ways.
I have a tough time with this article. I understand what it is trying to say. The costs are ridiculous. But what I see among my friends is that those who went to large public flagship schools got lost, and had a much tougher time. However, those who went to smaller private schools on scholarships built better connections with professors, and tended to do better long run.

There are unikernel implementations in a number of other languages [1] but one of the benefits of OCaml has turned out to be the module system.

Could you explain me:

>> What if I told you that your post is extremely cruel for someone struggling with racial or gender harassment?

Probably where I live (SF) I can't totally see the entire problem as you.

Again I'm not saying that there aren't problems at all or SF reflects the world. I'm saying that I'm my pretty own small experience I saw something filled under racism or feminism when it wasn't.

>> As a stupid example, it really pisses me off when people are disturbing me when I try to hack. I lose all my productivity and I feel like I wasted my day. But for them, they don't care... they don't understand, they're just chatting about the weather or whatever

That comes with a perfect example few days ago on a local bus an old man (politely) asked a black guy lower the rap music.

He started to freakout about racism and the fact he can't because he is black etc... Just two normal genuine guys and a problem (music on speaker) that becomes racism.

My comment aimed to say to the girls and blacks that are reading this that not everyone is racist against women and most of us (I hope) are not so please don't think that a small complain/problem is because of that.

Love the CIA style redactions. Yes its clear kids, its all about pattern matching. The units and quantities don't really matter.

This is phenomenal & a huge thanks to YC for promoting this. The massive gender disparity in tech is painfully clear to anyone walking the halls of a SF startup, attending a team meeting at a large corporation, or observing . It is a multifaceted and highly complex challenge, but hopefully strong leadership on this issue from central players like YC will help things move in a positive trajectory.

To those saying "what about an Latino/African American/etc. founders conference?": you can't be everything to everyone, and you have to start somewhere. Looking at this as a binary world view where "you can only have nonexclusive events" or "you need to have an exclusive event for every potentially underrepresented group" is counterproductive and gets us nowhere. Supporting one underrepresented group will hopefully have positive downstream effects across the board. If things like this are successful in moving one underrepresented group on a better trajectory, then that model can be more easily replicated.

To those saying "why not a YC conference just for male founders?" or "this isn't necessary" or the like: you're being petty and this isn't for you. The tech industry has plenty of open opportunities for people to connect across the board, and stronger connections tend to be forged within smaller sub-communities. If this and events like this encourage more females to become founders, then that's a great outcome.
Just make sure your kid studies just enough so the geeks don't think he's a completely good-for-nothing party bro. Because he's going to need to hire them as the developers for his next-big-thing startups. After all, every head-buried-in-the-sand developer needs a well-connected idea guy to part the clouds and let the sun shine through, right?

(I, too, leave it as an exercise for the reader to decide which parts of that are sarcastic, and how much. Frankly I'm not sure myself.)
I'm not sure Clojure has even matched the "Lisp high-water mark" of '80s Common Lisp, which I'd consider only quasi-mainstream. Though it is definitely more vibrant in 2014 than the others.

The article you're referencing is detection of the notoriously secretive Idaho giant salamander [1]. Your idea is particularly interesting because it has already been used to detect and study the diversity of Demodex face mites in humans [2].

[2] http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone...

A somewhat disturbing, but perhaps not surprising, fact is that 100% of people studied in the Demodex article had detectable mite populations on their face.
How so? You can't really get around not using third party cookies by doing something different, and if you can, are you really going to detect the device type rather than whether the UA accepted third party cookies? I guess anything is possible. All I know is that turning off third party cookies has not affected me in any way over the past three months. Then again, I block advertisers at DNS and via ABP, and they are the main user of third party cookies, so I guess you could say that the ads didn't properly work for me for a while.
