Do you mean a LCD display with fluorescent tube as light source, instead of an LCD display with an LED as light source?

Your MacBookPro with Retina display uses an LCD with LED light source too - it's just an LCD panel with IPS technology instead of the TN technology (common in cheaper desktop monitor panels).

> This French tech school has no teachers [...] Yet to succeed in that case you used the Harvard teacher information

I don't think anyone imagines that human beings can educate themselves into pushing the state-of-the-art in technology, especially in the XXI-th century, without benefiting from actively transmitted knowledge from former generations.

What's disrupted by 42 isn't the concept of mature people helping younger ones acquire knowledge and later expand it; it's the school setup, its organisation around academic authority, its mass production mentality (use exams to filter uniform kids--socially and intellectually--as input, so that you produce normalized batches graduates as output, through a highly scalable and repeatable process). The teacher's knowledge, and his ability to condense it into a synthetic form (here a book), remains as valuable as before, if not more. Teachers currently have to use the Ivy league bureaucracy in order to turn those skills into a livelihood, but that can be changed.

Schools destroy kids' curiosity and self-confidence, although those are the best individual learning drivers. That's not (only) willful sabotage: the problem is, those drivers are well suited for tailor-made education, but they're considered unmanageable to handle batches of hundreds or thousands of kids. What 42 questions is: can't we claim those drivers back, now that Internet has deeply altered how humans can interact? I'm thrilled to see the answers they come up with.

Berlin is getting its momentum now. A lot of engineers moving here, salaries are growing. Sure that's my anectodal experience, but I would not compare the data from 2000 to 2014. Even couple years ago it was different - no BlueCard schema, lower salaries, few English-speaking companies.

Foci – emotions on Focus
What fascinating timing. I'm a software engineer who has lived in San Francisco for 15 years, most of that time working at different tech-heavy startups, and starting my own twice. I've been in Europe for the past week, flying tomorrow to Sofia, BG for five days. If anyone in Sofia is reading this and would like to meet for coffee, etc., contact me at amax at redsymbol dot net.

I am not an investor and don't fully understand how startup financing works even in SV, and certainly not anywhere in Europe. However, it seems to me that if you're an angel or VC, there is a remarkable opportunity in places like Bulgaria. Potentially a great deal of investment demand (i.e. entrepreneurial tech talent), compared to investment supply. Lots of new challenges, I'm sure, but competing with other investors apparently isn't one of them.

(Hmmm... if you're an SV [EDIT: American] angel/VC and are thinking the same, email me as well. In the event I meet some promising BG entrepreneurs in the next week, it's possible I might be able to make some meaningful introductions.)
>At least in Hawaii there are a lot of independent energy producers, so your statement is completely false that they only want to sell their own power.

They're not doing that because they want to.

>They don't want to buy back power at the same rate they sell it

They don't want to buy power at all. Certainly not if they have existing capacity that they would rather use. Definitely not if it is a future threat to their bottom line.

>People are also free to get batteries

Batteries are a much more inefficient way of using power than selling it to your neighbor.

>They probably would solve it, but they know that the cost of solving that subtracted from the rate they pay their energy producers is low enough that people will complain and it's not worth it.

Let's not pretend they're not solving the problem for our benefit. This is about their profits.

>I'm not sure how you can mandate they solve a problem so people that want to go "off grid" don't have to buy their own batteries.

Because they are a monopoly and a utility. We mandate they solve problems because otherwise they will just milk their monopoly for all its worth and the only party that benefits from that is them.

Same thing in Romania. Everywhere in Bucharest or large cities are multinational companies attracted by relatively low wages and qualified workforce.
> I still really like the idea of constraint based systems, but I think they are more suited to (web)applications rather than documents.

Which is what some people will tell you web is about when you point out to them they're doing something weird instead of writing a document communicating a message. Maybe it's time to separate those two use cases - web pages and web applications - because otherwise people will keep getting confused between the needs and problems of the two?

Aluminum MacBook (Late 2008). Got it on Dec 2008 and it's still working today. Six years old going on seven. I upgraded its RAM to 8GB (the maximum it can take) and installed an SSD. Still runs relatively well.

Although, I did have a few problems with it. Hinge cracked (fixed by warranty), optical drive broke (replaced with an HDD cage), got a bloated battery (bought a new one), charger wire got frayed so it stopped charging (bought a new one). I took really good care of it too. Never dropped it, never spilled anything on it. So those were unfortunate disappointments. But all in all I'm happy with the build quality.

the OLPC XO-1 is basically indestructible. my housemate originally got the one we've been using during the give-one-get-one sale in 2007.

we first started using it for various burning man projects in 2009. it's run the brains of our various robotics projects, operated a webcam to generate timelapse videos, played music via mpd/ncmpc, you name it. we've left it out in the sun and rain and dust and it just keeps on ticking!

the sealed keyboard is awesome at not breaking, although not particularly awesome for typing on. the screen is the best part -- it has this mode where you totally turn off the backlight, which gives you the ability to read it in bright sunlight almost like e-ink. in 2012 we left it out in the sun a little too long, and the display looked like it had leaked internally. after giving it some time to cool off, it's back to looking good as new.

i don't normally rave about objects like this, but oh my god, WTG OLPC.
You really can't make such sweeping statements, though, they don't make sense, thanks to the internet. I've met people doing plenty of advanced stuff here in Italy. And plenty of others who are not really doing interesting things. Same in the US, though.
>I'm interested in the artifacts that many try to engineer away

See, I just don't find that stuff interesting. Lens flare from non-coated lenses, light leaking into badly constructed film cameras, old film which has gone bad, weird colour shifts due to the imperfection of the chemicals used - none of these things contain any profundity for me. My interest is in the subject and the context of the photograph. These "artefacts" that you talk about are no more interesting than tool marks on a sculpture or brush strokes on a painting. It doesn't add any depth to a piece of art just because flaws in the tool are reflected in the final product. Otherwise you could make your sculpture 10 times more meaningful by refusing to use anything but a butterknife to make it.

>How do you figure that? There are 19 women heads of state in the world right now, out of 190-some countries. Worldwide, only about 22% of parliamentarians (MPs, representatives, etc) are women. I'm pretty sure women make up more than 22% of the population.

We were talking about the US. I have little interest in what other countries do unless it becomes a problem for mine.

>There's also a never-ending raft of laws, especially in the US, aimed at controlling women's access to health care...

If by that you mean adding restrictions to infanticide, well, I suppose they get proposed on a regular basis. They hardly ever pass, though, and when they do they're gutted by the courts. Not what I'd describe as a "never-ending raft". More like a soggy paper boat.

>As for all this talk about who gets criticized, you make it sound like white men have, in addition to political dominance, unimaginably thin skin and sensitive constitutions.

Nice try. Just because I draw your attention to a double standard doesn't mean I'm ready to run to a "safe space". I'm simply pointing out white men, at 30% of the population, don't control the country.

If men actually had "political dominance" we'd have laws against paternity fraud. And you wouldn't be able to sponge off your ex after deciding you weren't that into him any more. Women pay less than half the health care dollars and yet they use 2/3 of the services. That hardly seems fair, does it?

But no. More than half the voters are women complaining about having no power while at the same time calling the shots.

This is an equivalent to having 10% of your engineers work full time on OSS. I'm not saying it's a bad thing just that it's a big ask.

I'm an not advocating on forcing people to switch to a vegetarian diet, I'm not a vegetarian myself. I just present the facts. People would be healthier by eating less meat than what they do currently, they don't need to remove it from their diet. It's great that you love it, most people love meat, I also love meat, that's why we are eating so much of it. I agree that there is a lot of loud vegetarian extremists out there but I'm not one of them, I would just like people to eat more balanced meals instead of the fast-food nonsense we have today.
A la 2015… Since it started becoming clear that technology was advancing fast, changing everything and the process would continue for a long time, we've had this semi-utopian idea about the future.

If machines are making stuff, improving tools for the home and the workplace (vacuum cleaners & injection molding machines) will chip away at the number of hours we need to work. The future will be a leaser society. Part os this have come about. There are a lot more services and a bigger portion of total consumption allocated to various optional or "lifestyle" decisions. Most of us working in "developed economies" can certainly afford as many plates and electric kettles as we can use easily. In my grandmother's time, you got plates and sugar bowls for your wedding and your inheritance and tried not to break too many in between. But, some fundamental "human condition" issues have gone unsolved?

When I first thought about these things as a kid I didn't know that people had been making the same speculations for nearly 100 years.

I don't really know to say 'why.' But, I do think a good chunk of our consumption is competitive, and therefore resistant to adequacy. Real estate is competitive. Schooling is competitive. Status symbols are competitive. You can own the latest gadget for cheap, if you're willing to wait five years until prices drop (what would be the price of a brand new iphone 1 in 2015?).

Anyway… I think it's unhelpful to great improvements with cynicism. 2 days a month is a decent starting point. If you really want to work on whatever you want to work on without financial considerations.. you need to figure out a way of doing it for yourself. Otherwise, 2 days is not bad.

A controversial choice, not only because the movie was only out a while ago, but I'd LOVE to see a TV show set in the Ender's Game universe. It's the kind of thing that Netflix could probably do really well.

The movie covered some parts well, and the vision was more or less there, but I still left the cinema annoyed. One movie isn't long enough to cover the book, and there's enough content in the books to make many series without having to pad episodes out.
Horse-shit, Kurdistan was not a war-zone. The US never engaged with Kurdistan. They were foreign invaders from welfare state. 25 000 muslims from nations that offered free healthcare and some free education.

You're just another white liberal left-wing apologist. You belong in CAGE with the rest of the Jihadi propaganda wings.

You're also ignoring the fact that the Muslims have waged Jihad against infidel BEFORE THE USA EVEN EXISTED.

The rape against minorities as Hindus, Yezidis and Christians existed even America was an idea.

You're an ignorant one, aren't you?

Ps, I am a shia muslim kurd. We're also considered "infidels" by majority of muslims, tougher with Ammadhya Muslims who Pakistan ISI slaughters on a daily basis

> If you have any stories to share I'm curious :)

I did 42 for 1 year. Now I'm working as sysadmin.

During the first year, we had projets with limited time (depends on the difficulty, from 1 to 6 weeks). We had 2/3 projets at the same time.

This school is kinda like Epitech. The staff is composed by students (I was one of them, I joined them after 3/4 month of learning at 42) and people who came from Epitech (sysadmins, 'teachers', web dev). Yes, there is a kind of 'teachers'. They create the first videos, the subjects (mostly taken from Epitech too :))

But this year, there was a big change. Now student can create subjects, videos. The projects are not limited in time.
We are not working for 100hours/week, but a lot of people are at school for more than 50hours/week. This depends on their faculty to learn and their motivation.

But...

There is some bad points for 42.

There is no labs. There is no books. There is no English class (as you can see with my poor english :) ), no math class, no French class (and a lot of people really need it....).
When you see people reading the man pages in french, you feel sad for them.
Whe you see people not able to do some math, you feel sad for them too.
And, seriously, a library or some labs for the students can be a good thing.

42 is a cool thing for people who have not the 'baccalauréat'.
I dont have this degree but thanks 42, now I have a great job.
If I had this degree, my choice for a school might be something like ENSIMAG / ENSEIRB, but definitly not Epita / Epitech.

Btw.

> In fact, 40 percent of École 42’s students haven’t finished high school. Others have graduated from Stanford or MIT or other prestigious institutions.

Why someone from a prestigious school would like to come to 42 ?

I apologize for being "meta", but I feel like your comment might be a bit off topic for this thread. I read the article and thought "Wow! Cool!" and wondered what the hn community had to say about this technology. I was dismayed to see that your top comment (at the time) was yet another warning about surveillance and big brother and 1984 and etc.

I get it, man. You and others value privacy highly and feel that it's important to discuss it. But every single thread? Can't we have just one day without the dystopian science fiction? There are plenty of stories on the home page dedicated to the issues of privacy, surveillance and government bad behavior. Would it be possible to limit the discussion of those issues to the relevant articles?

It's good to point out non-obvious uses or potential unintended consequences for new technology. And I understand that the hn zeitgeist is what it is. But the repetition of certain ideas is getting a little old.

Hyperion by Dan Simmons would make an /amazing/ miniseries. The narrative structure is apparently based on the Canterbury Tales and so each chapter is fairly self contained with an overarching plot tying the characters together. It's one of my all time favorite books, and as a scifi work it brings a strong literary sense to the genre.

I see in no way how a BSD License is free. I think the word Open-source is better suited here.

Maybe it's nitpicking. I wish English had more words that describe "free"-ness (gratis vs frei) etc.

EDIT: Okay a few words later they're also saying freedom. So I guess it's not nitpicking as I don't see how BSD gives you 'freedom'.

iOS developer here. AutoLayout is definitely not borderline magic, and some people hate it.

It is inefficient. It is awkward to set up in code, so many people write their own syntactic sugar around it. It crashes hard when it isn't 100% sure what to do with its constraints. Working with multi-line text is still a pain, so you often run into clipped text on iOS if you dare to increase the font size. etc.

Html and CSS is many ways a wonderful thing giving us access to information in such powerful ways.

But at the same they are both awful in so many ways. The fact that when I'm mostly reading 10/20 documents my browser is by far the most resource hungry application often surpassing my java powered IDE is a shame. That my gmail tab can take more memory than a standalone email client is a disappointment.

Adding to that is the fact how many hours of experiment it takes to do so many of the basic thing does raise some questions.

Perhaps I'm really misunderstanding this but with a BSD license I thought I could:

* Take the code and use it for free

* Take the code and use it for free to make money

* Take the code and add to it and re-release it open-source (as long as I include the same license)

* Take the code and add to it and re-release it closed-source (as long as I include the same license)

Sounds like I've got quite a lot of freedom in what I do with it. The only things that I can't do (as far as I can tell) are:

* Redistribute the code without that license

* Say the the creators endorse my work without permission
