I think you're right, but for other reasons.

First, most people don't like or can move far away.

Second, if your habits revolve around more abstract stuff than "seeing the office entrance where you smoke every day", you can end up changing some concrete circumstances and end up with the same abstract ones.
I have done all that. Been coding for 15 years. Worked with the shittiest Enterprise IT dinosaurs. Burnout is definitely all in your head. The longer I do this, they less it bothers me.

The idea of the broken window theory isn't that the window was broken was any particular way. The idea is that the visual image of a broken window serves as a signal that the degree of social concern/cohesion/enforcement in the area is low, and will thus encourage further behaviors. Also, breaking the second window is psychologically easier than the first.

I say this without endorsement, just explanation. (I'm ready to believe the evidence suggests it doesn't actually work and that the real drop in crime was another cause, but, on the other hand, academics can sometimes just be contrarians too, it's not just an online thing, and I still give some credence to successful engineering efforts such that one ought to at least consider the original theory.)
That's not saying much, though: everything can be considered an act of violence when interpreted by twisted minds. You can get assaulted just for merely looking at someone's wife.

I am just shocked to hear a CNN representative say that we should find ways to avoid offending people with words: this is not just a futile endeavor, it's a very dangerous one that leads to thought police and arbitrary sentences.

> attending a conservative university in a culturally regressive state

I didn't downvote you, but I feel like I could have without any guilt. Have you been to Austin? Or any urban center in Texas? They are probably more conservative than Berkeley, but they're definitely blue areas. Especially Austin. I mean, Houston's mayor is a lesbian! See if you can pick out Dallas, Austin, and Houston on this map:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/be/2004_US_e...

And substance aside, terms like "culturally regressive" are unnecessary and inflammatory. And your post has an overall dismissive attitude of someone who is just expressing himself. He makes it extremely clear that it's just his opinion.

So maybe there is a downvote brigade, but I'm not in it. And they're redundant if you ask me.
And just how did you come to that conclusion when he specifically said he doesn't care if someone like Snapchat keeps his photos forever?!? Will he care when his photos start showing up in advertisements? Will he care when a prospective employer with a data sharing agreement with Snapchat's future owner accesses his document/activity history and he can't get a job?

Sigh.
So were Yahoo and AOL. If specialized apps start to show up, people may start ditching FB altogether.
One can read the Bible on various different levels: as a historical document, a document specifically for you, and so on.

It has many surprises (like the example you gave). Heck, if the Old Testament was made into a movie, it'd be R rated.

My current favorite scripture is the origin of the pet. It's in Genesis 2:18-19. Adam was lonely in the Garden of Eden, so God provided Adam with animals for companionship. Adam gave a name to every one of his animal friends.

It's an endlessly fascinating book. I have many versions of it for study, but I prefer the King James.

I have a sister who is 44 years old and who does the same thing and has been doing it as long as she's been on the internet (she started by blogging and has deleted hundreds of posts in the same way, in addition to her current FB, Instagram, etc. posts). I do wonder if this could be reduced to psychological typology or self-image though.
Rapid Desert Formation May Have Destroyed China's First Kingdom
I think about this all of the time. My old partner and I released an app a few years back that made substantially more when it was spotlighted by Apple. Other apps that never made it "above the fold" so to speak, never made much more than $1 a day.

A single app store can’t keep up with exponential growth in the number of apps. It really needs to work more like Netflix, where there is no single top sellers list, but instead recommendations are made per user. Apple appears to be hesitant to innovate here and it’s understandable, since I imagine it takes a lot of resources to keep up with new apps and their updates. But the way they do it now is unsustainable, and was showing its limitations within a few months of the app store opening.

I’m thinking that the future of the app store is probably to act as a point of sale system. But the real action is going to take place outside of it on a site like Amazon, that better organizes and finds the sort of semantic relationships between software that people are interested in. Apple will probably make it as far as using their iTunes Radio algorithm in the app store, but I don’t expect them to really “get it” and build something revolutionary. Ironically this helps early apps rank well, which creates a feedback loop because Apple makes a cut of their sales and doesn’t want to disrupt that. I would so love to be wrong about this though.
Not really, Apple Pie is American for the American and maybe some other English speaking countries.

In the rest of Europe, there is no association of the US with the Apple Pie, and until very recently, there was nothing cooler than US-stuff or US-style stuff. I guess the bakeries would have been filled with American style apple pie.

Coca Cola and McDonald is synonymous with US food where I come from.

Edit: Pizza is a better example than tomatoes. It is American yet has become synonymous of Italian food.

it's as though they are posting not to show people stuff but to get people's approval for what they are posting

Yes that's what lives pretty strong in that generation - and on social media in general, I have the impression.
For some that goes really far, maybe too far, and people become unhappy or even depressed if they are not seen/approved by others.

Which is like in real life, but also at the same time not quite: in real life conversations etc you show a lot of yourself because it's impossible to hide. Facial expressions, body language, meeting pople early in the morning when you're not at your best, on one of those days where the whole world is against you, and so on. In virtual life however you try to make sure that side of you doesn't show. You could call it a lie. I'm not sure if that is good, bad or neither.
Here is a simpler back of the envelope solution to the problem of segmentation.

Automatically ignore all statistics on segments that are below a certain sample size. Say, 4k successful conversions. If there are no real differences, you'll still draw lots of wrong conclusions. But your odds of wrongly drawing significantly harmful decisions will be very low, and some of the conclusions you draw will be very good.

Your procedures may make statisticians curse and swear. But it provides a simple rule of thumb that is easy for non-statisticians to understand. And mitigates the really bad mistakes.

Update: I attempted every contact avenue available to me and no one I spoke with (by email/contact forms and phone) seemed to know what was happening. I ended up compartmentalizing my accounts (so removed my personal id from each) and set up new billing accounts and had some moderate success. By moderate I mean:

1. I would get an email saying the restrictions had been lifted because no violations of t&c's had been found.
2. Low and behold all apps would be running again so I could re-set up paid accounts for appengine apps, etc.
3. About 3 hours would pass and I'd see that each app would again be suspended. A little while later I started hitting the free plan thresholds and was unable to do anything about it. I also couldn't contact customers as I had no access to data store.

This repeated for a few days and seems to have resolved itself. No explanations from Google. No apologies.

As a result I have absolutely zero confidence in their competence at supporting cloud based businesses and am currently working my ass off to migrate away.
I can guarantee you that's not what she means, or if so, it would be wildly inconsistent with the definition of victim blaming re. rape victims which she supports. You would never, ever, catch her saying "it was a completely expected outcome if you lead the guy on" or digress about how so many girls dress so provocatively. She would rightly focus on the exact crime and its perpetrator.

Tell HN: Google cannot tell me Charlie Hebdo address
Hi All,

Ever since the terrorist attack in Paris office of Charlie Hebdo, I have been trying to get their office address because my SIL is curently in Paris as a tourist. I want to see how far the office is from Eiffel Tower.

https://www.google.com/#safe=off&q=charlie+hebdo+paris+address+

All the first 100 results are dominated by news sources. Only when I click on maps, I get two results...and no link to source. There is no way to verify correctness of the addresses Google's shows.

This is an indication that google SERP is dominated by useless news media. Sigh!

jerf explains it well above - the theory is that the appearance of disorder begets more disorder. Whether that disorder is deliberately caused by bad actors is significant at the micro scale but somewhat moot at the macro scale.

i.e., a window broken by malicious act is a bad thing, but ultimately an accidentally broken window will also contribute to crime. The notion is that the appearance of disorder signals that such laws are poorly enforced, as well as decreases the level of responsibility and ownership people feel towards the place ("this place sucks already, what's one more...")

Note that I don't endorse this particular view ;)
> Forcing the attacker to justify their acts has a political effect.

If it were a foregone conclusion that HTTP/2 would have a non-secure mode, I'd agree, yes. But in practice HTTP/2 isn't going to have a non-secure mode in most browsers.

Maybe you're arguing that it would be better to have an insecure but encrypted mode in all browsers? Could be, but I don't think so. As it is, if a site wants the benefits of HTTP/2, they have to establish actually secure communication (inasmuch as CAs provide that). It seems good to me to use the performance benefits of HTTP/2 as a carrot to accomplish real encryption everywhere. If the costs of getting a cert were too high, then maybe this would leave many websites stuck on HTTP/1, which would be worse than having those sites use an encrypted-but-insecure mode in HTTP/2, but I don't think that will be the case.

Piggybacking off bcRIPster (now down voted) post, I'd be curious to know the race of the teen author and if the preferences he observed are the same across others with different ethnic and racial background.

Instagram seems more evenly split.
I'm coming to the conclusion that one should treat A/B testing from more of an economic point-of-view. You have so many views this month -- how are you going to spend them on tests?

I'm curious, did our conversations a few years ago help shape this opinion? My guess is that we've both moved somewhat towards a middle position.

Without the constant social pressure of a follower count or Facebook friends, I am not constantly having these random people shoved in front of me.

It's natural that it's simple, since (and I suspect that here I'm about to get skewered) Brainfuck is basically a straightforward implementation of a Turing machine, just as Lisps are basically straightforward implementations of the lambda calculus.

I'm the hackathon guy here at MeetMe, where we are starting to plan our 9th internal hackathon since 2012 that we call HACKD. Most of these thoughts presented here I agree with. A few additional points I'd like to add:

Themes can also back fire. I'd highly suggest going with no themes as well. Heck, even encourage things outside of your day to day job. You might be surprised at what people come up with. Hackathons are about exploration, and while themes can be great to help people come up with ideas, they can also hinder. We've had hackathons with themes and those without, and I can't say that the themes made any noticeable impact on the ideas presented.

Prizes are dangerous. Don't make it tangible, such as money or a thing. We tried many different prizes, and the one that worked the best was a paid team outing. Limo to and from a restaurant of their choice, all paid for, and the net result was a team that had a lot of fun getting out, relaxing, and just getting to know one another better. The specific outing isn't important, but that the activity is done as a team. Indeed, the activity itself was chosen by the team.

Support is also crucial. If the idea is something that can be put into production, it should be. In this case, those teams were given an additional week of time to clean up the product and make it ready to ship. Focal came out of this, and while it's a hobby of ours, it's simple and fun, and still supported (with new changes coming!).

Voting is interesting. I do votes via a Google Form. Generally we have between 15-20 projects per hackathon, and some projects get 1 vote. You don't want to be that guy to get the 1 vote. It's demoralizing. We announce the top 3. You have to account for larger teams. They'll vote for themselves, and that's in some ways fine. After all, if you can convince 3 other people to help you with your idea, that should count for something.

Also, look beyond just programmers. We include QA, design, project managers, and product on our teams. I've had our QA people build websites, and product people programming iOS apps, and even projects managers working to streamline processes that needed improvements. They did spend their time learning this stuff, but that's the whole point of a hackathon. To stretch yourself.

We've had a blast with our hackathons, and I can't wait for HACKD 9.
> Syntax limits everything, it only becomes more important as you're doing hard things. Being able to fit 10% more code on screen is a lot like being 10% smarter, which is the kind of thing you need to make the hard problems even possible.

Yes, syntax limits everything, and being able to fit 10% more on the screen is a lot like being 10% smarter. But libraries, available techniques, and built-in features limit everything a lot more. Being able to do 500% more with the same amount of code is a lot like being 500% smarter. If you're piddling around with 10% increases like a switch from Pascal to C, you're wasting everyone's time. Switch to a higher-level language that's more closely suited to the problem you're trying to solve and you'll trivially be writing a fifth of the code you'd be writing in C[1]. So like I said: C is not the solution to your problem.

And that's being generous to your assumption that Pascal -> C actually even does give you a 10% boost: I think given that you'll be writing the same bounds-checking incantation everywhere in C which you wouldn't be writing in Pascal, the semantics probably negate the syntax very easily.

[1] There's one exception: where C is the language most closely suited to your problem. However, this exception is much more rare than most people think.
