Ur answer shows clearly, what big mistake the YC guys did. If they just want to be in Ur company, they should've asked U that for free. I think if PG comes to some one year startup and says "Hi, I wanna be in Ur company for 5%" nobody will throw him out. But now for U it is not about that fact that U want him in Ur company, but about Ur pride about Ur "child" (meaning Ur all heart investment for the last year).

I can't give U an advice, U have to know by Urself how much Ur pride is worth to U. I still would take the deal but would make clear that I didn't take it because of the money.

But I can give an advice to the YC guys: Don't bring new creteria into a deal U nearly have closed. New creteria are for deals that U can't close without some new leverage.

All of that includes the assumption that I have all information nessesary about the deal. But actually, nobody has but the topic creator and the YC guys. So, don't take my words too seriously!
Nate Silver is right. This says absolutely nothing about global warming itself. It says something about how scientific research and academia work.

They are in a gold rush. As long as the climate change debate remains top of the agenda the money will keep on coming. Securing continued funding for their projects is the main and sometimes only concern of scientists. At least that is what I conclude from many years of working with them.

They are funded by politicians and other sources that will dry up once the global global warming hype ends. What politicians need is a clear and unambiguous picture that speaks truth beyond reasonable doubt. That's what politicians will pay climate scientists for and that's what they are struggling so hard to deliver.

All this is completely without connection to the question of climate change proper.

You've just made an excellent argument for why universal coverage (of some sort, public or private) is essential. This is part of why some starry-eyed supporters predict cost savings.

Hard to argue too much, it sounds like they do more for better and cheaper, which is a compelling combination.

Well, knowing that you applied to YC in the first place, you must have thought on some level that they are more experienced and/or better at making these kinds of evaluations than yoursel(f|ves).

I would at least be interested, then, to hear from YC why they gave you such a low valuation, just to be sure you're not missing something important. Then you can make you're own decision as to whether YC's logic makes sense or not.

You're asking me how is a massively organised campaign participated in by thousands of people not educated specifically in your field different from defending your work against a critical colleague who happens to have his own pet theory?
Well, I wrote a simple blog engine after finishing the chapter
although I don't use a database here, the blog is saved directly to
disk (http://github.com/l0stman/Blog).

The biggest hurdle with Common Lisp is configuring the system
correctly because there's no out of the box solution. Although
there's a lot of library -- http://www.cliki.net is a great resource
-- figuring out how to use asdf-install is a bit painful. I took me
almost four days to figure out how to launch Hunchentoot as a daemon
at startup under FreeBSD
(http://github.com/l0stman/Hunchentoot-daemon). In my case, the lisp
server itself lays behind nginx as a proxy. The latter serves the
static pages too. Here's nginx's configuration:

server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;

location / {
root /usr/local/www/nginx;
# Use absract URL for static pages
try_files $uri.html $uri/index.html $uri $uri.txt @fallback;
}

location @fallback {
return 404;
}

# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/local/www/nginx-dist;
}

# Tunnel all requests where the URI path begins with "/ht"
# to a Hunchentoot server listening on 127.0.0.1:8080
#
location /ht/ {
rewrite ^/ht/(.*)$ /$1 break;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_redirect http://127.0.0.1:8080 /ht;
proxy_read_timeout 300;
}
}
Well, if the researcher is a canine of course he's going to say that.
There is a saying in the scientific community..."if you want to make sure that your competitor doesn't get any work done for the next two years, give him your code!".

In all seriousness, though, a lot of labs view their in-house codes as a competitive advantage. You may not like it, but science has become commercialized, the labs/unis are all competing about the same grants, which creates a competitive enviroment.

This is pretty old news, they've been saying stuff like this for almost a decade now. However, this intelligence does not translate directly to the type of intelligence humans are accustomed to (in terms of social interactions and activities) and as such is commonly disregarded by those that don't specifically know and love to work with dogs (and cats, who are also of extreme intelligence).
I have an objection on YCRFS 5 : http://ycombinator.com/rfs5.html

Mobile devices are physically constrained by their use case. They must be small to be carry-able. I believe in a future where mobile devices will be more ubiquitous, and where specific tasks (like development) would be delegated to "static" machines.

In the future, mobile devices will be more like a magic wand than a workstation. We would enable functionalities in different "static" devices with the same mobile device.

Also, you ask :
How could you make a device programmers liked better than the iPhone?

I would suggest : make an open device for less that $100 and you will win. Now we know that price is a feature. No need for a big touch screen.
Looking at the RC thread linked above, it sure doesn't seem as if the moderators are deleting all unfavorable comments.
It falls behind by not being as popular. I think this is not a result of BSD being inferior, it's just how things came into being. I don't have numbers on BSD developers or the rate of improvement, but I guess one reason for it is that BSD license put off more developers compared to GPLv2.
RMS and Torvalds should share the prize. RMS deserves it since he's the founder of the idea of free software, and Torvalds deserves it because based on the idea he created a collaborative movement of exceptional engineering.
Engagement Rings
Another reason of selecting diamond as engagement ring or wedding ring is that diamonds are considered as a symbol of true love, unity and purity. And purchasing diamond engagement ring is
a very daunting task and you should be very careful before purchasing your ring.
Much needed. We pythonistas are still waiting for a deployment option as slick as ruby passenger.

I'd prefer to see this wrapped up as an nginx-module and seems they have that on their todo-list - awesome!
This just shows how ingrained this mindset is. Even Gruber doesn't think there is anyone right now who only needs one or two bikes.

Apparently the world consists only of people with two computers. Nobody has a single computer that is overseeving their needs and it is inconcievable that there are people who simply haven't bought one yet, perhaps because they are overwhelmed by their complexity.
Sure, but that's because, in today's society, fucking one goat is virtually unknown—not because it doesn't happen, but because it goes unmentioned. The first John-the-goat-fucker to be caught by the panopticon might be arrested, but the 9128th? Probably not. When we look at the population curves we'd build from this data and extrapolate that, throughout history, John himself was likely the 340-thousandth or so in his series, we might even let him out, too.

Another thing to keep in mind is that when all information is public to the finest of grains, causality is quite easy to infer. This dataset would be any psychiatrist's dream; it's a perfect, objective record of everything that happened to a person, to contrast against their subjective interpretations of events, and infer the causalities of their influences. When Clippy pops up to some poor sod in 2048 saying "by my interpretation of your recent actions, it looks like you may soon develop an urge to fuck a goat! It'd probably be a good idea to talk to a therapist, even if you don't feel like you need to," I'm guessing truly unethical behavior will take a nosedive. Anyone who's comfortable with everyone else knowing they feel that way about a goat, however, will likely be free to go ahead—since every action will be an intrinsic, quite-visible scarlet letter, there will be no need for any external punishment mechanism.

(This is assuming, of course, that we get global immigration policies worked out by then, so that people born in an environment that don't agree with its mores, no matter where that may be, can leave for a place which does.)
Incredible lakes around the world
Lakes have been the source of fascination for geologists, historians and general mankind for thousands of years. Coming in every shape, size, age, colour and depth you can imagine, they are natural wonders to behold and often the source of fear at what lurks beneath.
Looks interesting. I like that at least one real ISP is using it... it gives me hope that one day it will spread to be a good solution for python apps on cheap web hosts.

Also it is good to have a couple of different python extensions for apache. It keeps them all on their toes.

I'm not sure the GPL licence makes sense for this project though. It means that to use it, people have to use the GPL for their web apps... or pay/negotiate a different licence. Well, maybe getting people to pay for it is their intention.

The protocol uses a 16bit length headers... meaning it will fail for big payloads. That turned me off investigating it out any further. However it is likely not a problem.
Both have ARM support, so it's not completely unfeasible... still, merging to projects of such magnitude seems like it could be a tough challenge. Not that I know anything about such things.
Considering that taking drastic action in order to cut back CO2 production is only justified if all 3 things are true, each of those 3 goal posts are incredibly valid.

Even though uWSGI's source is GPL, that doesn't mean your web apps need to be GPL, that would make this completely useless (same way your editor is GPL but the code you write with it does not need to be). This would apply if you decide somehow bundle the uWSGI's source within your application for whatever reason.
The Sourcewatch website you link to is run by the Center for Media and Democracy, a leftist advocacy group. I'm having trouble imagining a less reliable source on this subject.

A word of caution: a potential problem with this strategy is that pricing sends a signal to potential buyers. Higher price generally implies higher value.

If you switch to fully dynamic pricing, then you lose control of the marketing message that's encoded in your prices.

You also risk irritating people who feel 'gamed', but that's probably not as big of a worry. People have been complaining about airline dynamic pricing since forever, but it hasn't seemed to stop people from flying.
Out of habit.
In the presentation there is a good bit of data about feature tracking, not point tracking, I'm not sure how well it would work but this is the best demo I've seen so far of a program making a 3D model without stereoscopic vision and preparation of the subject.

What you could add is contour detection (the contours could be added as a constraint on the outer limit of the volume bounded by the surface being scanned). That way you could make a pretty good stab at what the surface must have been like. Contours will always be 90 degrees from the 'normal' of the object being scanned.

That trick will not work for concave surfaces though.
There is currently no sound scientific argument against the theory of natural selection that is backed up by even a shred of data. However, there are sound scientific arguments against the theory of anthropogenic global warming, and there are many scientists in the field who have put forward alternate theories.

With evolution the "there isn't enough evidence" argument is a side-show by creationists to pretend that the mountain of really very good evidence is somehow less than perfect (hint, no amount of evidence would be enough). With climatology the "there isn't enough evidence" argument is really a very solid scientific critique. We have very little data on historical climate, especially at high CO2 levels. Even the best modern data we have (from satellites and weather stations) covers only a small time frame and still requires a lot of fiddly processing to ensure its accuracy (there are still legitimate debates on what the global average temperature of the Earth was in, say, 1995, for example). The remainder of the data comes via proxy sources and tends to be incomplete or spotty. And the climate models we have today are very immature, all of them contain one or several semi-arbitrary "fudge factors" that must be determined empirically in order for them to have any accuracy. Considering that the input and output data used to calibrate these models and determine these fudge factors is in an entirely different regime than the projected climate for the remainder of the 21st century, criticisms of these models is entirely justified.

When a creationist makes an argument against the validity of evolution (even if it's "there isn't enough evidence") the correct response is "no, there's enough evidence, here's the evidence we have, and here's how it fits the theory, and here's why we have extremely high confidence in this theory". When a "global warming skeptic" says "there isn't enough evidence" the correct response is "there's more than enough evidence, let me show you the evidence and why the evidence backs a particular climate model that predicts AGW".

It is NOT "you don't know what you're talking about, we don't need to show you anything, now shut up and go away" nor is it to compare them to a young-Earth creationist. Those are ways of shutting down honest debate and they are poisonous to science.
Yes, it is. However, this article only talks about some of the top players in the game. The only millionaires from poker are the top tier, whereas 99% (actually, significantly more) of players are nowhere near that level.

Poker's a whole hell of a lot of fun, and it is possible to make money fairly easily if you play smart, but making large sums of money takes time, patience, and a whole lot of skill.
This is an awesome-looking tool. Similarly to other commenters, I had a DOS program when I was young called Game Wizard or something like that would compare memory states looking for values that changed or stayed the same, as some games tried to obscure their lives counter with addition and multiplication. Having the colored activity visualization would've made things even easier.

It would be cool to have something like this that works for modern native software, visualizing malloc()d/free()d blocks (or garbage collector behavior), etc., almost like a realtime Valgrind.
I like the idea, but I suggest publicizing and making transparent the model. Let potential buyers know that price s will be going up and they may buy in sooner. Or let them know it's going down, they'll wait, and then pounce on your product at the bottom driving it back up.

Fun read, although I wasn't excited by the template. I prefer messy with more information.
Running a MacBook here too, tend to make it sleep, shut it down every now and again if not required. Adverage time between shutdowns I possibly a few weeks?
Because this story was linked-to from HN, I read the article expecting the punch line would be that Isildur1 is software (or maybe a human+software team). I know there's a group at the University of Alberta that's been working on poker-playing software for some time, and no doubt there are other such groups. I don't know enough about online poker to know if there are mechanisms to prevent the use of software. It seems to me it would be hard to tell.
If there is somebody out there, making a handheld developing machine, I am one of Ur first buyers! I was looking for that long before the netbook hype and even some time before everybody was running around with laptops.

If you do use dynamic pricing and you measure things carefully you can compute/deduce the price-demand function. It's not a straight line, as most people would intuit and that article assumes for simplicity, but the analysis in that article can be applied to non-linear systems. Dynamic pricing allows you to start that analysis.
Am I the only person who found that article so jargon rich to be almost unreadable? I wonder if people who hear me blathering on about IPsec Transport sessions and RFC 2893 tunnels have the same experience.

hi,

If your app links to a GPL app, then your app is most likely covered by the GPL.

There are not copyright notices in all the files... but it looks like you are supposed to import a GPL module into your python program... thus the GPL is in effect. The uwsgi.c python module has a GPL copyright notice.

If your python web app talks to the server over a socket... then that is a different thing, and the GPL does not apply.

So I'm not sure how it applies in this case where your app talks to it over a socket. Note the README in the project is empty... and there is not much other documentation which I could find that explains exactly how this is to be used.

And if the AGU accepts his denial of climate change as a legitimate reason to oust him there is nothing wrong with that. He didn't say "we're going to lie about data and make up stuff and get my colleague fired," he said, "We're going to present evidence of what my colleague believes is good science. If this does not meet the standard of our scientific body, we will expel him from it."
I was disappointed there wasn't a punchline about Isildur1 being a bot. Heads up poker is much easier for a computer to play than bigger games. Have the top poker players played against the top bots recently?
We have many hackers here (pen hackers, not "hacker" hackers). As far as I know, my colleagues and I are unwilling to break the law and privacy to view others' communications.

Uh, no; that's not how VAT works. If you buy a new property then the promotor, builders, carpinters, painters, architects etc can all claim back any VAT paid for services, supplies or materials. If you are buying second-hand, then the previous owner will have paid property tax, not VAT.
