A lot of people have already talked to you, and I'm only coming to this thread from my HN Daily digest. If you are still around and would like at least one more piece of input, I will say this: for me, one of the things that helped me was to realize that death (and by extension, suicide) freezes everything at its current state of lack of improvement, except that it causes a ripple of rather devastating negative effect upon anyone who ever was in contact with you, proportional to how much they cared about you.

Life can always improve. It has. It will. Through your own efforts or those you love. I am a few months shy of 41, and there are things I am on the cusp on that I truly thought would never happen throughout much of my 20s and 30s.

I give you four words, more true than anything else ever spoken: Depression lies. Anxiety lies. You cannot trust what they say to you.

I hope that you are still around and reading these words, even if you do not respond to anyone.

Everything Gardiner is saying is true :-( As an indian and also an immigrant here in the US, i can only be ashamed. it is hard to defend India when such simple things taken for granted everywhere else is a luxury. India is a mystery. How do things even work? (Try an evening commute in a suburban train in Mumbai) How can people (that too 1.2 B) even live in such conditions ? (Are the conditions because of the 1.2B?). But the country has a strange resilience. It is a country steeped in tradition on one side and trying hard to catch up with the rest of the world in modernization on the other. There are sparks of brilliance everywhere. Like lotus in a mucky pond. (http://www.thebetterindia.com/25026/gatimaan-express-10-inte...). My only wish is a little less corruption, and basic amenities for all within 5 years. The problem is huge, and unlike software humanity cannot be just rewritten from scratch :-(

I'm kinda annoyed that the judge completely misread my entry. I had it so that data was leaked out of a function that could not possibly leak data, via a malloc side-channel attack (ala HeartBleed).

Instead it got judged as being a 'simple buffer overflow'.

Grrr.
It really is a shame. As someone who struggles with impostor syndrome regularly, all this ninja-rockstar-10x nonsense is unsettling enough that I dread the idea of throwing myself into the Bay Area food chain.

I work directly in the life sciences side of it. When the microphone is off, other peoples' interaction with me is basically: "Oh great, we have this data which would be pretty straightforward to store and transmit as JSON, but we have to work with this fucker to turn it into some sort of triple format or something." (Can you tell I don't like my job?)

If you pry beneath the surface the life science ontologies are garbage. Full of subtle errors, disagreement between different ontologies, incorrect changing of namespaces which causes backward incompatibility. You have to have 100% knowledge of the ontology's idiosyncrasies in order to use it with confidence (i.e.: you can't).

Funny you mention StarDog. Semantic web is supposedly this great open data thing that's going to unite the world. Except it's such a miserable community there aren't even any decent non-proprietary tools to satisfactorily fulfill the most basic premises of semantic web, after all these years.
All the Apollo astronauts were legendary test pilots (except Dr Harry Schmitt) [0]. Buzz and Neil are the ones everyone remembers, and they earned their place on that mission, however it took a huge team to get them there.

When Apollo 13 had the explosion, other astronauts including Ken Mattingly, and John Young, had a significant role in helping get them back home.

Astronauts were not just great pilots, but they knew how to work with a team. No astronaut would get selected if they were a great test pilot, but couldn't work as a crew. One particular test pilot (Chuck ..) who never became an astronaut is a classic example of that.

That's really just replacing one bias/preference with another.

Some people consider themselves more emotionally and socially capable, and want employers to recognize them for it.

Some considers themselves to be technical virtuosos and want employers to recognize that.

HN has a left wing/collectivist bias which tends to favor the former, so it constructs a narrative where the industry has an irrational bias towards the latter.
A business that has a permit or license issued under Chapter 25, 28, 32, 69, or 74, Alcoholic Beverage Code, and that derives 51 percent or more of its income from the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption as determined by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission under Section 104.06, Alcoholic Beverage Code. A person with a CHL commits a third degree felony if they enter such a premise with a firearm.
It is a good point that being a manager one would have more influence, but that's only true if you are technically and socially respected by your fellows/peers/workers. Sometimes this means you have to really do your homework and work maybe twice as hard as your developers so you don't just ask questions and assume they are right. You have to be a hard ass, keep asking, demand clarity, and always be a hard ass to get things done properly.
> ...where we need true/false answer rather than Unknown.

If you've set things up with that sort of constraint, then you've set yourself up for failure - Gödel's incompleteness theorems [0]. I think OWA is the only way around that, you just need to gracefully handle unknowns. Of course, you can convert an unknown into a known pretty easily with: ¬u :)

> “They have become sort of a 1-800 number anytime somebody wants something done,”

This is what happens when the military gets overused and tired; you have to reach for your "special" resources and use them as regulars. An example would be: you have an axe, and you keep chopping wood with no time to sharpen it and take care of it, it'll become dull; then your only option, if you still want to chop wood, is to bring out your Shun knife and use that.

We need to cut back on our engagements overseas, and stop fighting other peoples' wars. We need to give our military folks time to rest, regroup and retrain, and take care of themselves.
You can't make things free by magic. Someone has to pay for them.
> TLDR : Seal team 6 rescued many hostages, lost members, has the coolest toys in town.

A great example of a poor use of TLDR. That was not even remotely the point of the article. And instead of implying that only uninformed idiots have never heard of the "OMEAGA program" and how it's been around for years, why don't you point to mainstream sources that have previously made the point about Omega that the NYT does?

> The missions, part of the Omega Program, allowed the SEALs to conduct “deniable operations” against the Taliban and other militants in Pakistan. Omega was modeled after the Vietnam-era Phoenix Program, when C.I.A. officers and Special Operations troops conducted interrogations and assassinations to try to dismantle the Vietcong’s guerrilla networks in South Vietnam.

> Another former Team 6 member, an officer, was even more dismissive of some of the operations. “By 2010, guys were going after street thugs,” he said. “The most highly trained force in the world, chasing after street thugs.”
>Harassing people, or otherwise working to shame or cause discomfort to people at a tournament can, should and does result in real consequences.

Events like these have a huge hygiene problem. People don't take showers, and man, do they start stinking. I have zero problem with shaming such people; it's a public event and having foul smelling people there makes it unpleasant for the rest of us. Now, are buttcracks really all that different? I'm grossed out at the sight of a crack, and I imagine many other people are too. It seems absurd to claim that crack-showers are victims of harassment here. Just pull up your damn pants!

That's just wrong if you're "in the field". Have a look at Fuseki, or HDT, or Virtuoso (hell even Oracle supports RDF). The tools are very mature at this point so I had enough with people saying the Semantic Web never lived up to its expectations because the tools are never mature enough.

Everyone who's looked into this issue knows the solution is to use examinations rather than education - a degree should be given if you can pass some stringent examinations regardless of how the knowledge got into your head. You separate instruction from assessment and the incentives work out much, much better. And the cost goes way, way down.

However, we are stuck in this horrible equilbrium and I don't see much hope of getting out. Scott has a post on these awful equilbriua called Meditations on Moloch that's pretty depressing:http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/

I can see one way of maybe getting out of this. If one nice country was to implement this examination-based approach and then offer citizinship to those who score very well on a "general degree examination" (basically an intelligence test) they might be able to setup a brain-drain dynamic that would maybe push us out of this awfulness.

Said country could even subsidise the very brightest with the equivalent of a signing bonus. Even a permanent no-strings-attached basic income for the brightest of the bright would be very cheap as they're so rare, and may be worth it for the positive externalities as they're the type of people who build new industries. "We'll pay you to live, work, learn, and be credentialed here" may be enough to dull the luster of the ivies.

It's not surprising that a Markov chain could put together plausible sounding class names, because yeah, there are definitely patterns that class names fall into.

Absolutely true. However, as someone who has neither a television set nor an apartment large enough to fill with hardware I'd only use infrequently, and also has to travel frequently, I'm still a big fan of these kinds of projects.

It'd be even better if Nintendo could somehow convince publishers to re-release all their classic titles for the Nintendo DS, assuming it's powerful enough to reasonably emulate a fair number of platforms. I'd be more than happy to pay good money for good classics.

Apple to name streaming music service 'Apple Music'
The origins of the treaty trace back to 2002, and the US formally joined negotiations in January 2008. Later that year, Susan C. Schwab (an appointee under then President GWB) announced to the world that the US was entering in to negotiations to join it. It is entirely possible the treaty won't be ratified until the next President is in office (or never).

There are 12 countries that are actively involved in the negotiations, of which four signed on to the original TPSEP in 2005, and 8 were formally involved in negotiations before Obama ever entered the White House. What we know of the negotiations show that the US is looking for terms very different from the other nations, which at least creates a realistic possibility that much of what is in the treaty agreement is not what the US, let alone President Obama, would want. In the end, the negotiations are driven by apolitical business interests (which you can take as a positive or negative, I think a reasonable case can be made that it is neither).

No question he's been involved in negotiations, promoting it and in favour of it. His administration has obviously played a significant role in negotiations.

But this thing is way, way bigger than any President. The forces driving the negotiation cross at least a dozen nations and both the Republican & Democratic parties in the US. Suggesting it is Obama's deal is to completely misrepresent the scope and nature of the deal, the process by which it is structured, and creates a mythos of it being a part of a domestic partisan political agenda.

Are you calling the Spring developers Markov chains?
I always find these sorts of things interesting and research in this area is something I try to pay attention to whenever it comes to my attention, for example here is another recent paper about verifying curve25519 http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2660370.

However, it seems that there is a tremendous amount of effort that goes into proving this software and I wonder if the time investment makes sense. Humans are pretty good at doing proofs, so it seems that with a comparable amount of time you could just have a human verify that the C implementation matched the spec. (Yes, I know that this result goes a bit beyond that by using compcert, etc.)

Now obviously the state of the art is progressing and it's getting easier to formally verify properties of programs, but I wonder whether it will ever be feasible to make this part of everyday software development. Anyways, these are just my half-baked ramblings since this isn't a topic I've thought about a whole lot, but I'm interested to hear other peoples perspectives.

It's not entirely clear what happens when a spaceship goes outside our observable bubble due to issues with conservation of information (similar to how it's not entirely clear what happens when you drop a spaceship in a black hole). Let's leave that aside and assume that the spaceship and all its information is truly lost when it leaves our bubble. Then the question of whether that spaceship still exists is not a sensible question in physics, because there is no experiment that can confirm or deny it. It's a metaphysical/philosophical question. My point is that BOTH the claim that it disappears AND the claim that it does not disappear aren't sensible. Many worlds says that if you observe the alive cat, there still exists some other version of you that observes the dead cat. That is a metaphysical claim. Copenhagen says that there is no other version of you that observes the dead cat. This is also a metaphysical claim. I say that both claims are silly if you truly believe in the predictions of quantum mechanics. Whether the other version of the cat still exists is not a question worth worrying about, like it's not worth worrying about whether an invisible god exists or not. The simplest theory is to make no claim either way.

By the way, many worlds by itself is not actually a complete theory. It simply says that the wavefunction of the entire universe evolves according to the rules of quantum mechanics. To actually get predictions out of it you have to say something extra about observers within that universe. We certainly don't experience multiple simultaneous versions of ourselves, but we do experience multiple simultaneous versions of the things around us (e.g. double slit experiment). You need additional rules about what an observer in the universe will see and with which probabilities.

I'm a little surprised they offered her the original $1M. Which I guess means a counter is legitimate, who knows what the legal costs are for Kleiner.

But this is starting to feel a bit dirty. "You may have won the case, but I can make it expensive for you still." Then again, you could say that about anybody who sues anybody.

The real problem here is that legal cases are so expensive many startups live in dread of them. In bigger businesses they save a great deal of time and money by using arbitrattion- both parties agree on an arbiter and pay the arbiters fee. I read some American Arbitration Association (I think it was) claims several years ago that they were much larger and more effective than the current legal system- hearing more cases and with better customer satisfaction. Apparently even losers like it, if they lost but felt the hearing was fair.

Probably Pao and Kleiner would have both saved a lot of money if they'd been able to resolve the dispute this way-- IIRC the court ruled Pao owed kleiner money already for recovered legal fees.
