I changed from the ternary representation to the function, because I didn't think the generated code was very readable. In hindsight I'm not sure it's that much improvement. From a performance view it's probably worse off.
I'm sure that's how some systems implement it and it's close enough to the truth that I'm sure it will frequently be reported that way in the news. But I'm also quite sure that the actual standards are as I said they were. See the wiki link for a detailed timeline.

Time needs vary widely for people. Some people need nanosecond precision. Probably most end-users wouldn't notice for quite a while if their system clock is off by literally years... I know I've done it before without noticing. However, the existence of the latter doesn't somehow invalidate the former... some people really do care quite deeply. If you are in the latter, it hardly much matters what you do. "Manually setting it off of my cell phone" or "ignoring it entirely" are mostly valid options.
Ayn Rand? Really? There's a reason her "objectivism" isn't discussed in philosophy courses. It's nonsense conservative rhetoric that has nothing to do with the academic discipline. John Oliver summed it up nicely: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8m8cQI4DgM

The legal system really doesn't like "cute", "technically-correct" arguments, as a general rule. If you fell afoul of the CFAA on this and were dragged in front of a judge, I'd put good money on that argument being laughed out of court for this particular case. An HTTP server is very different to a VNC server. Misconfiguration doesn't typically grant right to access, in a legal sense anyway.

Dust explosions are like a fuel-air bomb in that the energy yield per pound is greatly improved by the use of oxidizer from the air.

They've gotten away with this so far because it is pretty hard to ignite that kind of powder. You've got to get a pretty good area (a foot cubic or so) of dust to the boiling point before a self-sustaining reaction is at all assured. A match won't do it, and not static electricity (much safer than flash powder), think of a small campfire.
Hey everyone,

I develop Streamus, https://streamus.com // https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/streamus/jbnkffmin...

Streamus is a browser extension alternative to Spotify powered by YouTube. I have been developing the software for ~3 years and it currently has 300K active users. I'm interested in working towards a first round of funding after having misc. angels express interest in the past.

I live in San Luis Obispo, CA (smack dab in the middle between LA and SF).

I'm mostly looking for another developer fluent in JavaScript to aid in development. Bonus points for having a business/start-up background.

I'd like to think I bring a lot to the table. I'm currently coasting on savings while working on Streamus full-time, unpaid. I contract ~12hrs/wk to cover bare necessities. I have 4 yrs xp as lead developer of a small software company and am an active contributor to Backbone.Marionette, one of the leading open-source JavaScript frameworks. My efforts on Streamus are well known on Reddit with my latest marketing efforts resulting in the #4 post of all time in r/music, http://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/2sypcn/seven_months_a.... My efforts have also been featured on TechCrunch, LifeHacker, TheNextWeb, Product Hunt (twice), and many other tech. blogs. I've declined a potential position at YouTube Music in order to pursue this project further.

Feel free to hit me up at admin@streamus.com for any business inquiries, or if you just want to chat and learn more about the product. :)

Cheers

I'm guessing if there was an overpressure event, that one would normally think that it was due to unanticipated heat, or a valve opening incorrectly (too early/late, far/little), etc. but that data from a measurement system on e.g. thermal or flow indicate the opposite, such as temperature doing down instead of up.

I wonder what the specs are for the systems they're using for telemetry... must be a gazillion channels at a high rate...
>Other animals do not exhibit the anxiety about expecting or experiencing pain that humans do.

What are you basing this on? If a mammal is exposed to pain, any stimulus similar to that initial cause of pain will cause anxiety and fear, just like in humans. They may not understand the cause-effect relationship of the stimulus as clearly as humans, but they certainly have the ability to expect and fear unpleasant stimuli.

>> Being a numbers guy, I couldn’t resist calculating the odds of making four sell recommendations on what ends up being the four best performers out of 749 different stocks. Can we have a drum roll? The odds are 1 in 13.1 billion

> The odds are actually 1 out of 16

Both of these look likely wrong to me.

The first, from a CBS article, is, I believe, based on there being 13008631251 ways to pick an unordered collection of 4 items out of a set of 749. But where does that 749 come from? It's the number of stocks listed on the Wilshire U.S. Large-Cap Index.

There's nothing in the CBS article that ties this to Cramer. The author wanted data on the top performing stocks to see how Cramer did. He asked the S&P Dow Jones Indices people for the data from the S&P 500, and they didn't have what he needed. Then he asked the Wilshire people, and they had it.

If the S&P Dow Jones Indices had the data, he presumably would have used the number of stocks on the S&P 500, ran the computation using 500 instead of 749, and came up with 2573031125 instead of 13008631251.

1 out of 16 also seems wrong. That would be the odds that a given set of 4 stocks Cramer picked would all go the opposite way that Cramer picked, if Cramer's picks were no better than random chance.

I think what we actually want here is to look at all of Cramer's picks in the applicable time frame, and determine what fraction of them, f, were ones he picked to go down. The odds that the 4 stocks that turned out best would be in his down list if his picks were by chance would then be 1 out of 1/f^4. This is only 1 out of 16 if Cramer picked half the stocks to go down and half to go up.

It's a very difficult problem. As I said, obviously the intentions are good and the benefits are very clear. But still, it's an issue of ends justifying the means.

Decades and centuries ago, many intelligent and educated people would argue that experiments on humans (like the Tuskegee syphilis study) are for the greater good, even if it it's at the expense of some certain group. They would say the ends justify the means. Now, in 2015, very few people would say that.

I don't know if humans have the right to effectively (metaphorically) cannibalize other species in order to improve our own, just because we're more intelligent.

Reminds me of that article about the Sony Aibo dogs ending their mechanical end of life. After 16 years, they are failing and they're no replacement parts.

Point being, if Sony had kept going with that incredibly sophisticated robotics tech (for the time) they would be an industry leader right now at a time when robotics is about to explode. Did Sony run out of funds? No. They abandoned the project because of fear for stockholder repercussions. That's what I meant by that comment. Sometimes stockholder flash back is enough to abandon a really great idea.

Ask HN: Best strategy for mix-and-match at hackathons
Hi,

Sorry for the accent, my native language is Portuguese.

My name is Paulo and I'm helping the preparations for (possibly) the biggest hackathon in Brazil, sponsored by FIESP (the Sao Paulo State Industry Syndicate, more than 30% of the Brazilian GDP flows through associated entities).

We are expecting 800 attendees (roughly 160 teams of five members). I've participated of smaller events organized by AngelHack, where incomplete teams and lone attendants were allowed 1 minute to pitch.

I was wondering if there are better strategies for the mix-and-match step, definitely we don't want to waste 2 hours on this. It is the first time I'm working in the organization and I would appreciate any tips on how to make it a great event.
Did you read the article? It is clearly not "the more sensible constant for almost every use case."

Hi,

I would like to go a year without using the internet, no web, no smartphone, no twitter, no google

Will use the computer, and I am may cache some shizz from the web before I start

What do you think? Will someone on here make it worth my while? I live on the East Coast now but am moving West in a few weeks. Happy to go anywhere with the right amount of pizazz around this.

For the benefit of all beings, please respond with thoughts.

Update: just did some research and looks like this has been done.

Has anyone done it with screens though?

Would be an interesting "screenless ui" study

Because we all know the future is screenless and ternary...rolls down window...screams...binux!
That's always true though, e.g. in the Irish potato famine there was no lack of food, just food that people could afford.

If STEM talent is expensive, that means there is not enough of it and we should encourage more. It will be bad for the people who would have gone into tech anyway, but good for the people who would have got lower paying jobs otherwise.

We should also be encouraging people to go into other high paying areas like medicine, law or finance. But I think STEM (and medicine) have the highest positive externalities so that is another reason to encourage STEM jobs.

I tend to agree with you, but note that the opposing arguments aren't entirely invalid. Think of how many Africans were better off as slaves in the antebellum South than living as free men and women back home. Did that justify slavery?
Another important aspect might be to consider how the $20k was obtained in the first place. What resources were consumed to generate that wealth? What pollution was generated? Which parts of society benefited, and which did not?

Here is a contrived example:

Suppose you obtained $20k by applying your skills as a consultant where you helped some business make an additional $200k profit by more effectively advertising their products.

Suppose that business has a profit of 20% for each item they sell, so you've actually lifted their revenue by $1m.

Now, suppose these products are essentially useless consumer products that will go out of fashion within 1 year.

I claim without evidence that the environmental impact of producing, advertising, distributing and disposing of $1m of useless products may, in many cases, be well in excess of how much of that impact you could attempt to reverse with a $20k budget.

So, another option is to consider is that the world may be better off if you didn't earn that $20k in the first place. It very much depends on the direct and indirect effects of how you did it.

edit: I am curious if I am copping the odd down-vote because this argument is complete nonsense (in which case please help me modify my beliefs!) or simply because I mention something that is perhaps uncomfortable to reflect upon. I claim no moral high ground here.

I'm a technical founder (full stack + Android), currently bootstrapping a no sign-up, private/anonymous blogging platform. I've got the architecture and apps built out and in "beta," so the last step is building out optional user accounts and the premium features to go along with it.

I'm looking for someone primarily with business/marketing experience who's done this before, or someone technical who knows security and/or iOS. But above all, I need someone who believes in developing more privacy-focused tech. I'm trying to build a long-term business, and this product is just the start of a bigger picture I have in mind.

I'm not sure I agree that trusting subdomains "greatly expands the default trust surface". That's part of the premise of the domain hierarchy: the owner of a domain owns all the subdomains. If you don't trust the policy by which they grant subdomain control to others, then you don't trust the domain. This is the same policy that all browsers use; it might be surprising to folks unfamiliar with URLs, but the article's tone suggests that it's crazy and weird, which definitely isn't the case.
It is the same difference from starting a Soccer team in Spain or in Japan. In Spain you have the whole ecosystem in place, the same happens in Silicon Valley. That is why most of the world's best Soccer professionals are in Spain.

:) It really would be nice. It's been on my mind and I've been gradually taking steps to evolve the website into something usable for that purpose, but, for now, I have a firm priority list of things which need to get done that users don't care much about. YouTube TOS concerns (nothing huge, I've worked through them with YouTube I just need to finish writing the code), some security/oauth concerns, and getting SoundCloud added as an additional catalog source. Once those things are done I'd expect a lot of the 'smaller' features to get implemented very quickly.

You can see a full list of feature requests here: https://github.com/MeoMix/StreamusChromeExtension/issues. I haven't embellished on all of the ideas yet, but the list should give you a general idea of what I think needs to happen -- including improving the UX of sharing playlists.
