* who exactly is the subject of terror, the person executed or the crowd? At the start of his book Foucault seems to claim that the subject is the person being executed. But then he shifts to talking about the attitude of the crowd.

* we are probably meant to view them as equivalents because of class consciousness and the Marxist digressions about man having no "soul" except for his position in power networks. But... but... surely it was quite common that the crowd and the person executed had quite different attitudes towards the event.

* also, if capital punishment was really ineffective at inducing terror (in whom?), why were 19th century French penal reformers the first ones to notice? isn't it weird that this enlightenment corresponded with a public debate over morality if the two events are unrelated?

* more substantively, if Foucault is right and French penal reformers were the first ones to notice for whatever reason, doesn't his pointing this out imply the existence of an objective standard of knowledge that undermines Foucault his claims elsewhere about power being wisdom and truth being subjective?

Uggg... I could go on for a while. Enough Foucault.
Do EV/hybrid drivers thinking they're saving the planet consider the impact from manufacturing / disposing of batteries? NiMh and lithium-based batteries might not pollute locally, but mining / refining / manufacturing / shipping / disposal happens somewhere (probably in Asia), as does power generation (mostly from coal in the US).

I think a lot of the appeal of EVs / hybrids comes from the clean image, even though these vehicles still cause lots of pollution. It's the opposite problem of diesel vehicles, which, though more fuel-efficient than their equivalent gasoline-powered counterparts, emit a more opaque smoke, leading to people thinking they're worse for the environment.
Please don't post any more of these. They're trollish, and have become predictable.
Not that I don't trust your site, but I don't trust any site, no matter how reputable. There is too much malicious crap propagated through click ads, pop-ups, etc, for me to ever consider disabling my adblock extension. My recommendation is to stay away from any site recommending you disable your adblock software.
I think you need to understand the situation a little better. EFF is not suing the patent holder; the patent holder has nothing to lose in these actions except a valid patent, and EFF has nothing to gain except insofar as invalidating the patent is in the public interest. The analogy to a class action lawsuit is not a good one.

CLI access perhaps, though there is a third party solution out there for that too. I just use chrome, which now works offline, can drag and drop into it, though not out of it, but it works well enough that I've never tried to install the sync client.
Still seems like you're trying to get them to find YOU, instead of you finding them.

Find those people you're talking about. Tweet them, email them, look at their sites and job postings. Apply.

They're not looking for you, or anyone else, specifically.

Don't get me started on this. A hyperactive 10 year old boy is still better than the overly jealous dictator that is Apple or the greedy fraudulent impertinent that is Valve.

Sketching is a superset of programming by example. In examples, you only get input/output pairs, which as this thread shows, infers frustratingly close but wrong programs.

In sketching, the input and output can also includes partial programs (sketches), so you can mark what you like, tweak, etc, and it fills in the rest.

Increasing usability, the fragments can be in different languages. For example, input can be simple C and some test data, and output can be CUDA GPU code or pthread mutex locking schemes.

For Graphistry.com, we believe in these techniques for ETL and sketching visualizations.

(Also, sketching normally uses machine learning or SAT/SMT solvers: types are more typically used for input hints.)
To be fair, it only takes a smidgen of hyperactivity to forget about the Linux desktop market.
> Even if we agree that $ 1000 (per nose) is nothing, who's going to spend that? No clue how this works in other companies, but here you have to make a case, get X people from management to agree. Why would they? "I would be more productive"? Without snark, I'd really like to see a case for a purchase like this that could work in my scenario.

From what you're saying, and I'm not saying this to rip on you: I doubt one exists, and it doesn't sound, from your description, like making one would be an ethical maneuver anyway. I don't work in Microsoft-heavy shops because I don't enjoy it, but I don't try to change them to suit me because it would not be in the company's best interests and I am mature enough to understand that. (If asked, because I've been hit up by decision-makers in Microsoft shops before, I'll explain my position, but that's always from the outside.) I feel you when you say that your circumstances preclude finding a better fit, but that doesn't mean that introducing additional risk is the right thing for the employer who pays you to work effectively on their behalf.

Changing established shops is at best difficult and comes with little payoff unless you own the damn thing, and should be done with the best interests of the org in mind--that's what they're paying you for. If you can't get what you feel like you need and what you want doesn't outweigh the opportunity costs, you should leave, because it's better for all involved.

(A grand a year really is nothing, though. Software developers have broken their brains when it comes to cost structures. That's in the ballpark for the amortized cost of a cubicle, which can realize way less value for the company than the right piece of software. Or, you know--the Windows Server CALs that are the actual cost of WCF.)

SSDs live off their internal parallelism, if you aren't using a Queue>16 you are not making real use of an SSD. Q=32 or even Q=64 are usually the right settings.

It all depends though if you want throughput or latency. If you really really care about latency you should balance the queue depth and probably use it between 16 and 32. The reason is that with higher queues you get more collisions on the same die and then latency suffers. There are read-read, write-read, erase-write and all the other combinations but those three are the interesting ones.

It does make sense when you can take them on bike paths, which are off-limits to motorcycles and mostly to gas-powered scooters (like GoPeds, which can get >100mpg). Lane-splitting is also amazing in California, where having your motorcycle license lets you use the HOV lane and filter through traffic if the lanes are wide enough to do it ~safely.
Ask HN: Has anyone here run a contest before?
I'm doing some pre-launch marketing for a project that won't be complete for another couple months. In addition to a typical content marketing strategy, I want to try running a simple giveaway contest with the goal of building a mailing list and eventually a community around the startup.

I know I'm not the first person to try this so I'd love to hear from anyone who's already gone down this path. Here's a few questions that I'm sure anyone else thinking of running a contest would find useful.

What startup was your contest for?
What did you give away?
How did you get the word out?
How long did it run for?
What were the results?

Our contest is for a project called Shadenut (http://shadenut.com). It's an app to help professional and DIY mechanics look up the technical details of any car. I'm think of giving away a fancy torque wrench[1] since it's something that every person in our market needs and will put to good use.

I'll be sure to recap the details of my own contest here when it's complete.

And how exactly do you PROVE you didn't give anyone your pin? If the only way they put the liability on you is if you admit you gave someone your pin, it seems stupid to even bother.

To me, knowing how things usually work in the US - they'll claim it's an on your honor system, and then suddenly it will be "well we think you gave someone your pin so we aren't covering the charges". Conveniently a lawsuit will be more expensive for you, the consumer, than just paying off the fraudulent charges.

You can't really optimize for SSDs in general. You CAN optimize for a specific brand/model/controller on a certain chipset. If an optimization in general is possible, you can be sure that the SSD manufacturer already is utilizing it in firmware on higher-end drives.

I second this. I just finished interviewing on-site at Google. The phone screen was fine -- I was given a link to a Google Doc ahead of time. Audio quality was fine and the interviewer was personable. I actually found the on-site interviewers to be significantly nicer than other places I've interviewed at. I mentioned this to one of them and he said that all interviwers are required to go through special training. This was on the main Mountain View campus.

My impression is that bad interviews are the exception and get disproportionate attention. Glassdoor interview ratings for Google are 54% positive, 26% neutral, 18% negative. http://www.glassdoor.com/Interview/Google-Interview-Question...
> they were there for you when you were programmatically young and they introduced you gently into a world that's otherwise extremely complex.

This may be true for you, but it is not true for everyone. You assume that learning Haskell as a first programming language would be more difficult, but you don't present any evidence to support that claim. People who have done so disagree with you.
Wow, those were some oddly specific choices. No mention of Microsoft or Oracle (to name a few of the more popular straw men), or any of the rest of the globe?

I've got it; I was at Google about a year back when they had an open beta. At that time they were encouraging everyone at the company who'd signed up to take home the beta client and install it on whatever computers they wished. It works okay; There's a bug where it will occasionally re-sync everything, but last I saw there was serious work on it.

Why haven't they released it, if it was this close to finished? I can't say. Likely bad allocation of resources and decisions by product people. Larry is chasing Wall Street targets, which has badly slowed the pace of innovation in most of the company. The moonshots are sacred and given free reign, everyone else isn't allowed to innovate.
> To be charged with war crimes requires utter defeat

Officials from all factions in (for one example) the Bosnian civil war have been tried by the ICTY. So unless all sides suffered "utter defeat", that is demonstrably untrue.

One could argue that prior to the establishment of modern tribunals starting with the ICTY (but also including the ICTR and ICC), that was the case. And there might be other reasons that the US, in particular, is difficult to hold accountable. But its pretty clear that it is no longer the case that "to be charged with war crimes requires utter defeat", or even mere defeat.

I've had that much acknowledged from SSD vendors, each one blames the others for the benchmark wars but they all know that benchmarks are out there and customers will chose the SSD based on the published benchmarks so they tune the firmware to make sure they don't look bad in the benchmarks.

I was even told that an SSD was made to work consistently over the life span but drop some of these consistency work (i.e. slow downs at start of life) and only kick them in after so many power-on-hours so that it will not look bad in benchmarks.

It's a fact of life that customers rely on benchmarks and that vendors cannot educate all customers so the masses out there need to see a good benchmark so that's what gets optimized for.

Reimagining the Internet’s Third Decade
You're reading too much into it. This is just someone's fun side project.

I'd say Haskell/ML/functional language-style syntax is polarizing; people who write code in functional languages seem to like it because currying, but it can seem pretty foreign to outsiders.

Personally, I think leaving out the parens around function call arguments makes them harder to read and so does currying, so even though I think Elm is pretty cool, the syntax is a drawback for me.
Haskell syntax is nice and clean and awesome

Haskell types are ... hard. Imagine a Ruby or JS programmer trying to use Haskell and getting frustrated when they have to, you know, actually care what they're doing.

Spoken as a user of all three/four languages mentioned.

After Google missed the first scheduled interview, I had the same experience the last time I interviewed. I'd hardly call it a good experience because the call was clear and they used a Google doc, however. I will never understand the idiocy of asking someone to code over the phone (and then not giving them either the time or space/privacy to work in), but if it must be done, at least use an appropriate tool. The code I wrote was JS and there are at least a handful of online realtime JS interpreters like jsbin etc. with proper indentation handling, code highlighting, and most importantly, the ability to run the code so you don't spend time figuring out where the semicolons should be or where missing parenthesis might be. While I have no doubt that age discrimination is happening at Google and elsewhere, one can answer all the questions in the phone screen correctly and still not pass so it'll be quite difficult for the lawsuit to prove its claims.
Can anybody shed some light on why they're still using MySQL instead of MariaDB? MariaDB is supposed to be "ensuring drop-in replacement capability" with MySQL[1].

From what I gathered, the main reason people would want to move over to MariaDB is a concern over the Oracle licensing of MySQL, which prompted some of the original MySQL developers to create the MariaDB community fork.

I'm asking this question more from a greenfield perspective rather than as a continuation/expansion of an existing MySQL deployment.

It's not like this is rocket science. Google has their client on Windows, Mac, and Android, while Dropbox is available for ... Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Google did have a competitor called Google Video which was failing horrendously.

One of the huge downsides of Google Video from a consumer side was that videos took 3 - 5 days to upload as they were proactively being checked for copyright infringement. Google probably never could have gotten away with the laissez faire attitude towards copyright infringement that a young startup like Youtube which is why it made sense for them to buy it, regardless of the price.
