It's obviously not a real politician. Nowhere in the article did I see the words "my fellow Americans", and "Let me be perfectly clear".
A larger and more heterogeneous country is going to have less equality almost by definition. However, 150 years ago we decided that it was crucially important to keep states like Mississippi[1] in the union; if that went the other way, the metrics would look a lot better.

[1] There's a saying among states that rank 49th out of 50 in these kinds of metrics: "Thank God for Mississippi".

What is important that is underreported in the media and needs more discussion?
I am curious. It should be compelling to our existence and/or future. Preferably technology related.

I am helping out with a big media company and they are interested in doing something in this arena. Would love you guys's input and if we make something based on your suggestions, I'll report back.
1/ It's what the name suggests, just a quick and dirty way of assessing whether a company is adding MRR faster than they are losing it. You're right is mashes together (new mrr + expansion) / (contracted mrr + canceled mrr)

2/ Totally matters. In year 1 a company doesn't experience much in terms of both contractions or cancellations, especially if it's a product that is sold on an annual deal basis. That means that month 13 is really the first month for cancellations or expansions. In year 1 a quick ratio will be abnormally high, even infinite, so the quick ratio really starts to make sense in Year 2 and beyond.

3/ Logo churn is captured within the ratio as mentioned above.

4/ This is where you have to have solid top of the funnel lead qualification process that leads to MQL -> SAL -> SQL -> Sales rep engaged to make a sale. This funnel is indeed the leading indicator of what's top happen.

The problem with ClojureCLR is not technical, its just that most people dont care about it. There are some things moving there but not anywhere close to Clojure or ClojureScript.

Clojure has never, ever been about equality between diffrent versions, the were always meant to be simular but diffrent when the platform is diffrent.

Here sign this NDA then tell us how to achieve this idea we have which we will own and you cannot speak of.

The funny part is when people get out of country or outsourced to other countries developers where they think an NDA or contract has much meaning or weight or that they care.

The real contract is money for services paid, while that is happening then it should continue, when that ends both groups/people should go about their business unanchored. This is why so many services companies try to go into products because the customer services/money exchange is much easier and well understood with simple ownership, which is own it upon payment but not the maker, just the product. Money for service and not ownership over everything.

A client or investor deserves to own any idea they fund and there will be NDAs which are ok. But when it starts limiting competition for x years for work on a 3 month contract it starts to get silly.

A little napkin math for anyone else doing comparisons:

28.9 hours * 52 weeks ~= 1500 hours

---

37.5 hours * 48 weeks ~= 1800 hours

37.5 hours * 47 weeks ~= 1760 hours

37.5 hours * 46 weeks ~= 1725 hours

37.5 hours * 40 weeks ~= 1500 hours

So even if you have 4 weeks off and 10 holidays, Treehouse still expects ~225 hours less work per year, or the equivalent of having 10 weeks off and 10 holidays at a normal 9-5 job with a half hour lunch. Treehouse likely gives 2 weeks off, 10 holidays, and 52 Fridays off :)
Yup, that's exactly what I mentioned as well. Nobody who's hungry and trying to break through can afford to slack off and expect massive success.

The US military has the following missions, by law and treaty:

1. Protect the United States

2. Provide mutual defense to Canada, the entire continent of Europe, and South Korea.

3. Defend counties like Japan and Iceland, which are treaty-bound not to have militaries of their own.

By tradition and policy, but not necessarily binding treaty or law, the US military also has the following missions:

4. Protect the entire Western Hemisphere from foreign aggression (the Monroe Doctrine).

5. Protect the economic supply chain of the developed world, particularly the oil supply.

6. Occasionally intervene, militarily, in humanitarian crises (this goes back and forth; yes in Somalia, no in Rwanda, yes in Yugoslavia).

7. Provide purely humanitarian assistance in case of natural disasters (the military has tons of logistical ability that's occasionally repurposed to provide food and water to e.g. Haiti whenever it gets hit by a hurricane).

8. Keep the world's sea lanes open for shipping (this is kind of a shared responsibility with every major naval power, but we're practically the only one left).

Also, there are non-functional requirements to the US military, driven by purely political forces that almost no potential US enemy has:

9. Minimize friendly casualties. Spare no expense to accomplish this.

10. Minimize civilian casualties.

11. Maintain good PR so they don't look like bullies.

In other words, the US has to bear the bulk of the entire world's military requirements, and not just be able to win wars, but win them in absolute routs that are nearly unprecedented in world history. If anything, the US military is undersized for its current requirements. It's oversized if you're looking at requirement #1, but that's a ridiculous understatement of the actual requirements, or any realistic set of requirements, for the US military.
ISRO to launch Google satellite
Pretty average content and not academically strong enough. It lacks the depth of proof and detailed technical explanations. I wouldn't call it a computer science book - it seems like a data structure and alg concise guide. There are tons of books if you're serious about Algorithms or Data Structures alone and that won't make you a computer scientist.

Computer Science is a big field that spans many areas of programming, theory and research.
The other half are short format ads and picture ads.
After conducting many interviews of candidates I'm pretty sure that description fits at least 60-70% of experienced programmers.
The title is much broader than what's listed in the table of contents, which is primarily what you'd find in one course (algorithms) from a CS undergrad course of study.

For an online text that covers similar stuff, see http://interactivepython.org/runestone/static/pythonds/index... .

The last "interview" chapter is about getting a job, not about CS itself.

A good starting spot for the topics
in "computer science", at least at the
undergrad level, is the ACM curriculum ( http://www.acm.org/education/CS2013-final-report.pdf ).
This is algorithms, which while useful is not even the majority part of a computer science education, as I understand it.

My CS degree involved image processing, graphics, operating systems, systems programming (low level programming), programming language theory, discrete math, linear algebra and statistics, just off the top of my head.

Interestingly programming is actually not a big part of a degree (again, as I understand it.) It takes many years to become a good programmer, and it would be a waste to dedicate an entire 4 year degree to just that.
Indeed this document could use a copy editor.
I'd love to have M-x hackernews for wasting time.

You're conflating software engineering with mechanical engineering.

It's not the same as mechanical engineering, or even medical school. You can absolutely learn all of software engineering, inside and out, without a formal education.

All the gravity applied to software that peoples' lives depend on? It can be designed, developed and debugged with or without a formal education.

Almost every argument in this thread bears a similarity to yours, but software engineering is not the same as traditional engineering. Comparing it to trades or crafts which demand physical inspection of a skillset and an in person mentorship is not valid.

EDIT: Upon closer inspection of your comment, it seems as though your position is that software engineering should not be called engineering at all, because it does not require the same rigor as the other disciplines you mentioned during training. If that's the case, I agree with you.

I take issue with people demanding that a title be tied to education when education is not demonstrably required for the skillset...but I also think "engineer" isn't necessarily an appropriate term for what "software engineers" do.
Thanks, yes it seems to be very different. It takes longer to get a SE degree in Canada so a clear distinction is made. By no means would I even say that it's necessarily better as I've hired and worked with some amazing developers with no post secondary education at all, so good people are good people. But it is a longer degree with quite a few more courses and a clear distinction is made if you decide to pursue it here. Cheers.

"Hard news doesn't sell" -- or, in the modern world, it doesn't get clicks or viewers.

So pretty much everything that is important is under-reported. Climate change, government corruption, corporate crime, etc. etc. A lot of that stuff is very dry in the mind of the general public, and "young girl kidnapped" or "puppies or rollerskates" just make more money.

Since you asked for something technology related, I'd say the danger of AI, the debate between solar/nuclear energy for the future, the high human/environmental costs of low-price hardware (mobile phones mostly)... pretty much anything is getting under-covered.
(I posted this as a comment on that article, too)

Here are a few facts conveniently omitted from that article:

Despite all your poo-poohing of broadband as utility, community broadband, a "utility" thrives in more than 450 communities. You can find them all here in a nice map.
http://www.muninetworks.org/co...

Second, net neutrality and community broadband are well supported across the political spectrum. It is not a partisan issue. You might even find it counterintuitive to discover that most community broadband networks are built and promoted in conservative jurisdictions. Colorado is a notable example with one community voting 92% in favor of building their own network. Story here: http://www.muninetworks.org/ta...

Lastly, more than 10 years ago, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia told us, in a dissenting opinion that to paraphrase, says, "If you own the pipes, you're a common carrier, end of story". The FCC has nothing to fear in their quest to reclassify all ISPs as common carriers, and any legal attack on their action will eventually be laughed out of court. Details here: http://thedigitalfirehose.blog...

I know, I know. Facts and links to support them. Some people may have a really hard time dealing with them. Deal.
Interesting story. They shy away of actually saying he stole the objects. I wonder how nostalgic he was about the trip to the moon for the rest of his life...
If you could reasonably expect to learn all the skills required to perform legitimate and rigorous surgery from a book, I would have no problem calling you a doctor if you didn't have a degree, provided you could demonstrate these skills. Just like degree-less applicants do in a coding interview.

The difference, of course, is that medical school is not at all the same deal where you can learn everything by sitting in front of a computer with an internet connection. Everyone is jumping to use medical school as an analogy, and it's frankly a false comparison.

I agree with you about people caring about titles and the perception they bring, however.
Ask HN: How to learn sales and online marketing
Hi HN,

I am a full stack developer and I feel pretty confident that I can build pretty much any MVP.

Now I want to learn how to sell my ideas, how to market them and how to get people using what I code...

My main problem I is that people simply don't visit the page I build, how to fix that ?

I bet that the best teacher would be experience, but I am also looking for some resource to read...

I am also definitely open to work part time wherever I could learn those skills...
I like the structure of google closure, thoughts?
Although a cool thought. CNN never came through with the story of poor people living on the rooftops. So I'm dubious.

They also link this rich person story as well.

I've wanted something similar to that headline navigation in a browser for a long time. Often times when reading blog-style webpages I want to scroll down to the next story (skipping the rest of the currently displayed story). Using page down requires multiple presses and often leaves the next story half on the page. I would like the next heading to be displayed at the top so it's always in the same spot and so it also maximizes the amount of the story that's displayed on the screen.

I don't know how this could be implemented nicely, though, without making it site specific. I'll have to look into vimium to see if I could at least do it for the sites I visit often. If vimium doesn't allow that kind of customization, pentadactyl and vimperator look like other possible options.

I just tried it, and it took me to turbotax's website. It redirected me through a couple different pages (I'm pretty sure I saw doubleclick in the address bar temporarily) before settling on turbotax. Subsequent attempts took me to the squatter page.
On the first hit with a non-curl user agent it will take you through a series of advertisement redirects then land you on an ad page. I got TurboTax, probably because I just read a TurboTax article from Reddit.
TL;DR: In addition to the headline, one other sentence can summarize it:

Tizen is a big rolled-up ball of every other
failed Linux-based smartphone OS.

But I only read page 1 of 4. Maybe there are additional insights to be gained from the other pages?

There is something that seems dumber about an "uh" in that it leaves the mouth open where an "um" seems more polite. By "um"ing and closing the mouth you are offering more of an invitation for the other speaker to chime in. An "uh" seems to fill space even after it's over.
>One of the arguments against raising the minimum wage is that it incentivizes automation and robot labor to replace it.

This argument was conceived precisely so wages could be pressured downward. It becomes patently obvious when you dig a little into the writings by economists who make these predictions - they are typically absolutely clueless about technology.
Sure, but no worse (or even all that different) from any other Node release. The community will gradually upgrade, and it'll be fine.

The historical importance of the photoelectric effect is to demonstrate the relevance of the work function Ω. It works like this:

V ~ E_0 - Ω

where hf is the energy per photon and Ω is the work function of the target. If Ω > E_0, no voltage is produced. This provided the basis for Einstein's demonstration that energy is proportional to frequency (E_0 = hf), and won him the Nobel prize.

What does this have to do with xenon? Xenon lamps produce not only visible light, but also ultraviolet light, in fact, xenon lamps extend further into the UV than natural sunlight:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon_arc_lamp#mediaviewer/File...

LEDs by contrast produce almost no UV light:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode#mediaviewe...

With this data we can determine that the work function of silicon (in the Raspberry Pi 2) is somewhere in the range of hc/(400 nm) < Ω < hc/(250 nm) or 3.1 eV < Ω < 5 eV. Using data from

http://journals.aps.org/pr/abstract/10.1103/PhysRev.127.150

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/00223697599...

we see that the work function of silicon is around 4.7-4.9 eV, which agrees well with our observations.

The proposed optimizations are pretty interesting, but I think my favorite such optimization has been proposed by Ayende Rahien. As with the optimizations outlined in this paper, his is related to leader election.

One of the issues with leader election in Raft is the potential for split votes. Raft tries I guard against this by randomizing election timeouts in order to discourage two candidates from requesting votes at the same time. What Ayende suggests, though, is to add a pre-vote stage wherein followers poll other nodes to determine whether they can even win an election prior to actually transitioning to candidates and starting a new election. This ensures that only up-to-date followers ever become candidates and thus prevents nodes that will never win an election from ever transitioning to candidates in the first place.
Eero Is a Smart Wireless Routing System
Modules are quickly switching to using nan, which is required anyway for working with both 0.10 and 0.12, so io.js merely accelerated the incentive to use it.

As far as "big sites", several are starting to roll out io.js deployments. Most places don't blog about every upgrade to every internal piece of infrastructure. If you're doing the SOA thing properly, you can start rolling out io.js for new services without removing the versions of node used for other stuff.

At npm, we have some io.js, lots of node 0.10, erlang, java, spidermonkey, python, redis, postgres, etc. It's pretty common to use different stuff side by side in little servers that talk to one another. Less dramatic to talk about than pretending your'e gonna make some big switch-over though.
> The way you express your opinions is enormously important. It could easily be the difference between getting a raise and getting fired.

How is this relevant to the conversation? This isn't a letter to his boss, it's a blog post. Even so personality types differ vastly between individuals and your argument appears to be culturally conditioned in a different cultural. In other words, we live completely different worlds due to our cultural conditioning (or lack of - by that I mean our association with our inner voice).

> The first one is an absurd overarching dogma declaring every other app-building technology to be inferior to react with no backing whatsoever

It's just a matter of using the word 'a' vs. 'the'. We actually get it wrong MOST of the time. Replacing 'the' with 'a' provides much more clarity. For example, you could say 'Please bring me the green chair in the closet', but if there's more than one green chair? Well there's more than one 'right' way to build apps. React is 'a' right way to build an app. There are MANY wrong ways to build apps, and most web frameworks (in my opinion) build apps a wrong way. React is one of the few. That's how I feel.

I think you either have an ulterior motive for criticizing React itself (money, company), or you're just closed minded.
