Houston's surprisingly nice, like a Texas version of Los Angeles. A great place to buy a used car: incomes are high, real estate is cheap, nobody wants to buy a pristine car with 80k miles that's never seen snow or dirt.
It takes about three years to get a patent (in both the US and Europe, the two largest semiconductor markets) and a valid patent (one that is genuinely original and not obvious) is obsolete in cutting edge semiconductors within three years, so patents play almost no role in semiconductors except to delay new entrants, obstruct compatibility with installed base software, and troll fabs with invalid scam patents.

Trade secrets are essential or else nobody would innovate -- they'd just steal each others' designs until nobody could afford to invent anything. Fortunately a short non-compete (during which engineers should be paid compensation for taking time off between employers) is enough to exhaust a lot of cutting edge insider knowledge. The accusation here is that an engineer cheated his non-compete.
Though his point is not lost, the use of "primal" in "it is a shame to give into primal hoarding impulses" isn't fully accurate.

Would not primal hunter gatherers have spent it while they had it - resources being plentiful for those skilled to find and kill? Didn't hoarding only become necessary when humans transitioned to farming?

In fact it _is_ a primal urge to consume what you've earned, spending it on improving yourself/project.

I can appreciate your sarcasm here, but it's not constructive and doesn't change the economics of custom fabrication.

Hey thank you for sharing your experiences. I am a little confused about this architecture decision if the goal is to offer business insight, though.

I don't understand why usage metrics that are used to calculate business analytics would be logged in a data store that is separate from business transactions and reporting related data. How would you run cohort studies or track funnels?
Everything you described is how languages actually evolve. There's pitifully few grammatical construct or morphological mechanisms in English where settingup would become a word, but there are several that trivially lead to setupping (or 'setuping')

Something linguists stopped doing a very long time ago is trying to logically set rules for how a language should evolve and started observing how they actually evolve.

The internet's men who hate feminism: here's what they're like in person
First came an offer to buy out the lease from the restaurant. Once the restaurant dismissed that, the hotel's strategy changed: Starve 'em out. They cut off its room service business, then started renovations on the building during the summer (tourist season), obscuring the restaurant from public view. When that failed to drive the restaurant out, mysterious complaints to the Department of Health started coming on a weekly basis; the restaurant was shut down by the DOH no fewer than three times.

OP should have outed the hotel, and given names and, if available, addresses of its owners and management. That shit may be technically legal, but it shouldn't fucking be safe.
Is there anything bad about telling people to ignore PGP/GnuPG altogether and use OTR/TextSecure?
As jonstewart said, the standup is for communication. In my team the morning standup will occasionally take less than a minute, a much shorter interruption than getting up for a cup of coffee. It makes me aware of what everybody else is working on and their progress, which I think is valuable.

If it acquires a have you done any work at all? vibe, you just fight it off with honesty. A half-hour standup is just insane. A large 'scrum of scrums' standup with dozens of people/teams shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes.
Honestly, I just assume they find somewhere else to live until the water table goes back down. A temporary inconvenience. It always smells moldy down there anyways; that can't be healthy.

Plenty of people live in the shops/restaurants they work at, which is why they put makeshift blinds over their windows at night. A lot of dodgy things like that going on in the 'jing.

They declined because, "we are currently phasing out our d-sub line and will be going obsolete in June."

You clearly are redefining security breach not to include severe and consequential types of security breaches. Social engineering attacks that allow accounts to be stolen are a big problem. Just because they can't be patched with a new FreeBSD kernel update doesn't make them unimportant.

Apple needs a system that blocks obvious social engineering attacks anyone could easily use against you based on public records if it doesn't want a reputation for security disasters. Apple has already failed many high profile people and probably lots more regular citizens; it deserves shame for its failure.
I mean, if DoH actually shut down the restaurant, presumably the restaurant was in fact in violation of various (at least three!) health code regulations.
Slight misalignment might actually improve electrical contact as long as it weren't too bad.
This just reminds me. I wanted to buy a couple of extra allen wrenches for my camera tripod just so I could put them in various bags and hopefully never be without one.

Well, obviously the tax breaks aren't enough since the owner is willing to deface it to avoid the situation. Partial compensation is not really a defense. This is still a regulatory taking.

Native Houstonian here. This is a great place to make a living. We even have some pockets of genuine beauty here and it is really frustrating that they are so spread out. Houston is going to have some real opportunities as we transition to a driverless travel situation. The amount of land we have that is covered in soon to be useless parking surfaces is mind boggling. Hopefully we don't screw it up.
Actually it kind of died out for a bit. During the PS1 and PS2 era, with the introduction of optical media and a push for mainstream quality, low-budget (and hence only moderately profitable) games slowly died out, while high-risk, high-return 'AAA' games dominated. That's not to say that people didn't make independent games at this time but they were rather niche. The Indie movement was in part a rebellion against that.
I hope you will read my comment adjacent to yours, rather than simply assure yourself that what you already believe is correct. You can theorize that I simply don't understand, but I offer an explanation for why this is the case in my other comment.

Simply put, most workers would get paid more than they typically would, but the workers at the very top may get paid less. This would be true in any scheme that seeks to balance out the pay of those at the top, since there would no longer be huge sums of money from the exploitation of those at the bottom.

If you don't believe exploitation exists, I urge you to look into the state of capitalism in the 1850's when Karl Marx was forming his opinions and compare that to the state of WalMart workers today. Exploitation is a default component of capitalism and is not simply some imagined issue made up by those who wish for a more egalitarian society.

And apparently other commenters have mentioned that coops can have the same kind of pay structures as normal companies. For example someone noted that one company limits the pay to the CEO to 75x the lowest worker's pay, and he currently sits at just 60x. This is closer to pay differences we saw in the US in the 1960's.

But certainly when you pay the people at the bottom a fair wage, there may be less cash to throw around at the top. This is not a design flaw.
Ask HN: Designing CVs for software jobs
I've been working in biology for a few years and have completed some Python/R projects along the way [see refs 1-2].

How do I describe/highlight these projects when applying for software jobs? I have experience writing CVs for biomedical jobs but not for software. How do I avoid having my application sent to the waste bin? Links to samples or general advice would be super helpful!

Forth has always been able to do this sort of metaprogramming- in fact this approach is how most of the language is built. Constructs and syntax like conditionals, loops and comments are all just normal word definitions and it is easy and commonplace to extend the syntax of the language for a particular program. Forth is often described as "compiled AND interpreted" because "compiling" a program constantly swaps between interpreting pre-existing definitions and building up new definitions and allocations in memory.
Can you give more details about the broken integration? I'd be interested to see the error message / the code in question.
Because you should think of contracts as underspecified interfaces between two parties. If I'm actually unhappy with you and want out, I can perform my side of the deal adversarially - technically and legally in line with the contract, but otherwise not exactly what you expected. So you have some incentive to keep me happy and renegotiate up the rate voluntarily, since otherwise I will act adversarially on all the things that are not explicitly specified in the contract.

This can work depending on the extent to which the contract is underspecified. You will note, for instance, that the hotel cut off room-service access to this restaurant. Clearly they didn't specify room-service availability in the contract, and so on.
I watched the entire video which was interesting, but I noticed that he is performing read operations on a map without any kind of read lock. That is not safe behaviour I am pretty sure :)
There is a gaping hole in this study which seems to be making the rounds on the major news outlets: why did the authors not control for the arrival of other personal dating sites?

I don't doubt the correlation but to pin this on craigslist specifically seems dubious at best.
If you are otherwise heating your home using electrical heating, then this is correct. However, heat pumps are more than 100% "efficient". Using X electrical energy you can heat your home more than 2X. Don't replace a heat pump with computers.
This should be criminal. Internships need to be paid positions. Period. Anything else is exploitation.
Someday you'd think they might just go ahead and add multi-threading, shared memory to Javascript? It is definitely a can of worms, but the current web worker situation is just not workable for many use cases.

WPF has a UI and a separate closed off rendering thread, which works quite well performance wise.
Give them away at the office as a reward for a job well done.
I feel like I keep seeing this all around. It seems that there's a point in the product after which any further optimization to "extract more value" actually degrades things. Comapnies need to learn when to stop messing with their product further and focus on something else.
Why I've Stopped Working
I'm sure it's not just you, and people approve, but I do not. In fact, all I want is actual GNU/Linux on the mobile device, which boils down to native DM, which is usable with touchscreen and having nice API + drivers. Everything else will come. Something like that Nokia N900 with updated hardware would do just fine. (Well, almost). I don't need it to be "one environment for all devices" — in fact, I think it's pretty horrible idea, because what I need with keyboard and a couple of 24" monitors is far from what I need on 4.3" touchscreen (and neither is "Unity", btw). I just want my familiar OS with standard messaging services and daemons, that I can make do what I want by writing plain shellscript, and not some Java-framework with half-proprietary firmware on most devices, developed by some evil corporation, which makes money by advertising and spying on its users.

So, well, what I need is not complicated (pretty much the opposite), but it requires "doing things right" and this is always incredibly hard. Essentially, to make proper DM it would require to hire someone, who already has written a couple of DMs which were used widely enough for mistakes made while inventing its API to become obvious. Unlikely that somebody, who isn't spying on his users would want to invest in something that big. And, furthermore, obviously there is much more people, who need Angry Birds, than people, who need transparent process interoperation.
GOMAXPROCS defaults to 1, meaning unless you change that value, your code will not run in parallel by default.
He sure talks a lot, considering he made one game so far. I guess it was a good game if people like it (judging by scores on metacritic only), but I'd need a bit more of gravity around his body of work before listening his opinion on, well, anything. Compare that to Carmack for example - who didn't make games as a designer, but has a strong enough presence over the years actually doing stuff that carries weight. NB, I'm not putting him down, I'm just not seeing how his opinion is of any importance so far. And it seems he has opinion on everything and anything and is vocal about it.

There's certainly something to be said for stability, but node continues to use abandoned versions of the V8 engine, which, increasingly, is going to be a problem.

Software does tend to remain stable if you never make any changes to it, but that's not necessarily the right path.

Oh well, if nothing else, this whole io.js thing has set fire to joyent. It's nice to see something happening at last.

I guess competition is a good thing.
Declarative is a vacuous word that means anything you want it to depending on context. We used to call functional programming "functional" and logic programming languages like Prolog "declarative." Then declarative started meaning markup, then declarative started meaning...immutable functional code? In PL, we mostly just avoid the word altogether these days since everyone has a different idea about what it means.

React is closer to an immediate-mode UI model: you write programs that compute exactly what the UI should look like on each frame, rather than mutating a scene graph each time something interesting happens (as occurs in retained-mode UI models). Substitute DOM for scene graph, and the distinction might hold.

But I'm not sure.
$30 is ridiculous. ABS plastic is around $1,000 per ton (or cheaper if you buy 10 tons). Does it really cost so much to make a wire out of the granules?
Yes, but what's your point? That version numbers aren't the best indicator for production readiness?
Socialism is the centralized control of the means of production. How much rich elites hoard surplus value by means of that centralized control is immaterial.

Wealth redistribution is orthogonal to socialism or freedom. In fact, welfare policies supporting egalitarian consumption are more compatible with capitalism plus an income tax than any kind of socialism.

And socialism is a synonym for tightly, centrally regulated. Which is what the US health care system is; it's one of the most socialist systems in the world.

The benefit of private insurance companies is a small part of what makes US medicine expensive. The relative lack of trained doctors and denying qualified nurses permission to treat common conditions without direct supervision of an MD and multiple layers of review for simple prescriptions are much more important. The cost disparity is mostly a result of badly run regulation rather than anyone's profits. Changing to a different funding system -- whether Obamacare or single player or NHS style public hospitals -- won't make US medicine much cheaper.

The problems run deep and will take decades of dedicated bureaucrats rewriting rules, reorganizing institutions, and instituting new standards of practice with the support of wise, patient politicians to get it right.
http://resumes.livecareer.com/ has lots of anonymized examples. I've never seen a biology focused CV so I can't compare.
For the longest time, OS X didn't require driver signing; I was in the Hackintosh scene a few years ago and helped write a few drivers. Not surprised that it's required now, but looks like it can be disabled relatively easily. (It's unexpected and nice of Apple to do that.)
This is great! The developer of the 360 driver stopped maintaining his work quite awhile ago, and it has been difficult getting it to work on newer OS X versions. Although this means buying a new controller, it's not all bad because it's a great controller!

PC gamepads are pretty terrible so having the 2 major console controllers as options is a wonderful thing.

Worth mentioning: the PS4 controller works out of the box with nothing to install, over USB or Bluetooth.
I really don't consider Jason a bad CEO. He was incentivized heavily to go big along with everyone else. He made a plan to get there, a plan I actually think was the best route to try and get to $10B. It just didn't work, doesn't mean it still wasn't the best plan.

Before we go to encryption, let's talk about all the SSN you put on paper you file for bank, government, employment. That's right. They are all in clear. Whatever you sent to your employer over email (rather than fax) are still in clear.

A lot of these attacks are trojan already breached the network and insider attacker. The latter is often due to infection (e.g. USB, browsing problematic website). Encrypting file, encrypting SSN field is not a full solution but is definitely a really good solution.
Nice job!

WPF (even completely ignoring XAML), JavaFX both support declarative nesting with interesting databinding features to support it. They are based on retained scene graphs, however.

Can anyone on HN with a TurboTax account confirm this is true?
I have a package of DB25 connectors left over from a product I used to build and sell that has slowly been whittled down over the years. It's because of things like this that I have been reluctant to toss them out. At sometime in the future I think they might be useful to me or someone else. Likewise the bag of 50 Centronics connectors. They have to be valuable sometime, right?

Or maybe I'm just a packrat.
The trick here is to have as _few_ places as possible where that data is operating in the clear as possible, and try to provide as much isolation across them where feasible or where concerns are naturally separated.

The problem is that few think like this, except in a few special industries where they live and die by not getting this wrong.

Ease of use and whatever gets things working fastest is generally the name of the game (and I don't blame businesses for this attitude, the market punishes anyone who is too careful or slow-moving in almost every industry)
Just plug it right in and go! Bluetooth pairing works too, but is a little wonky. But what else is new, it's Bluetooth.
The article indicated that the fraudulent returns seemed to be based on last year's returns for the individuals in question, so it sounds like a lot more than name and SSN were involved here.

This has always been possible. I knew a guy who bulk downloaded returns from hr block because they required only last name, zip, and partial ssn. He picked a zip where everyone is named Stein and was born at the same hospital (which gets its own ssn shard) and went to town. Naturally they had no rate limiting.

In fairness, when I initially read the first few paragraphs of the article, I got the same impression you did. It wasn't until I read further that I saw it wasn't the case.
IIRC Braid made a couple million. I think less than 10 though.
