Why personal data is at risk when a company is sold or goes down
Its power consumption is ridiculously low; IIRC, at full utilization, it can be powered by a solar panel the size of your hand.
Huh, 5.8 hasn't been released? What you mean is that snapshots / current are now using that version number.
Leave the political dimensions aside; any place is as risky.

Personally, I'd love a scenario where a startup helps me out in terms of travel costs, and maybe putting me up for a week while I find accommodation. Not very picky about vacation days much, but having a day or two off every month works, for now. The salary part's a little more complicated - it should take my current pay package into account, as well as extrapolate for currency differences, and consider the cost of living too. It's not a bomb, but it makes a huge difference knowing that you won't really go broke all of a sudden, in a foreign land.

In your case, though - relocation's not a great idea because it can get pretty tricky for both the candidates and you - if their families aren't adjusting to their new surroundings much, it'll affect the candidates, and thus, affect you in turn. I'd suggest exploring every option to make a remote-working scenario possible, and only using relocation as a last resort.

Things Which Can Speed Up Your WordPress Website
All of this outrage at Facebook doing what Youtube already did[1] is difficult to fathom.

A new entrant to a business domain will look to their more-established competitors to learn lessons of what works and doesn't. They may disagree and look to differentiate themselves on some of the points, but overall it would be silly to suggest otherwise.

If this was a mistake that youtube made and facebook duplicated, people (especially stockholders) would have quite fathomable outrage at facebook. Youtube was the first huge name in the type of video delivery that they do, so their missteps have less "should have known better" attached.

So, it depends on if Facebook doing "what Youtube already did" with regard to copyrighted material is duplicating their mistake, or if Facebook is engaging in an amoral "get away with it for as long as you can" situation.

In either case the outrage makes quite a bit of sense.

Yes, this is an un-useable chunk of open source that is not widely used, not compatible with normal hardware, and does not even build.

To quote another user:
"The version of WebKit used on iOS is actually not open source and forkable; even WebCore, which is LGPL, Apple works around: rather than releasing code changes for iOS-specific features, they release the binary .o files users can link in."
>Always with the half-excuses for people with technical ability/track record. "Well he comes off as kind of rude, buut he kind of knows what he's doing so the arrogance is maybe warranted". Just goes to show that technical ability and dealing with people even in a technical setting are two very different things. I guess that is the reward for a technical track record? Being half-excused for lording it over other people?

Well, I guess that's life.

If you can do somebody else cannot do, and they need you to do it, you get to dictate the terms and be rude.

Morepath is a Python web microframework, with super powers
Thanks for clarifying. Upon rereading I think I realize where you see provoking claim. Authors start by reasoning that our perception is necessarily wrong (maximizing for fitness is counter to maximizing for truth, etc.), and object permanence gets thrown in the mix. However, their research also makes more fundamental claims that kind of supersede this, such as (emphasis theirs):

> the entire framework of a space-time containing objects, the fundamental organization of our perceptual systems, that must be recognized as a mere species-specific mode of perception rather than an insight into objective reality.

It seems this research can address the Schrödinger’s desk problem in two ways, which I can’t quite tie together:

1) By their conscious agent -> microphysical object theory, your desk doesn’t disappear like that. That is, dynamics of conscious agent interaction do routinely cause particle reconfigurations that reflect as certain patterns of change in relevant microphysical objects’ space-time positions, but—as long as we’re unable to describe the underlying world—“whoops! desk broke” is all we see.

2) By their interface theory of perception, your desk, as icon on your reality interface, pops up in your consciousness whenever it’s brought up for access. In other circumstances it doesn’t exist, like this browser window when I switch to another desktop (the data about my window and your desk is persisted by relevant interface layers). It would be fun if we could tinker with whatever mechanism implements these icons, given that the implementation is within us, but—in apparent absence of such ability within scientific framework—this remains more of a philosophical argument.

AFAICT, though, there’s at least one definite practical implication—we might have a reasonable way to construct meaningful observers and thus advance quantum theory interpretations.
Those graphic animations make it absolutely impossible for me to read the article. Must have been done by effing greenhorns. Professionals should know better.
Worth noting though that if you use the release, you get no updates, security or otherwise, till the next release in 6 months.

And using -stable (release + patches) is a hassle of manually applying patches and re-compiling - no binary updates are available.

If running snapshots is not for amateurs, neither is running stable.
Yes, amazing. I've always wondered how the belt was implemented and it turns out its not a belt at all.
> There are good reasons why rules regulating human social behaviour (such as legislation) are written in this "vague" way, not attempting to be formal-verification-level complete but relying upon human interpretation

I wasn't arguing for formal verification, but you should notice that actual legislation is a lot less vague than the Django CoC.

>It follows that to work well it needs the people doing the interpretation (judges, committees, ombudsman, etc) to be competent, and be selected so that people can have faith in them.

And that's another problem with the Django CoC that I was mentioning, there's nothing there insuring that someone that's accused receives a due process, nor that all complaints are listened to equally.

You can build an entire new industry around it.

Eveything as a service. Even hardware could become a service. You wouldn't have to actually own it, instead pay a monthly fee and you have access to produxt X. You get the latest models without any extras fees.

The advantage of having a service is that the customer is hooked and it's harder to leave.

>If young people in Africa are exposed to fast, affordable internet, amazing things can happen.

Some of them might make a startup and make some money. A lot will immigrate and have a better life elsewhere. That'd be it.

It wont be some kind of Silicon Valley anytime soon (so that it exports technology and services and imports money), and as for providing web services to its own country, sure, but it's not the most basic thing that Africa at large lacks (that's regarding most of Africa, and especially the impoverished countries, not something like South Africa).
I'm with you. After hearing him mentioned numerous times in various contexts, I gathered he was some sort of sage guru. Then, I read one of his articles for the first time, "'Interface' considered harmful[1]. I found it rambling and the style to be a bit condescending - and, I found out after reading this piece, I absolutely deter the "X considered harmful" premise[2], which is probably the main instigator in giving the article a condescending feel, along with the acted-out teacher-pupil discussion. I'm a peer, not a pupil. The tweet seems short-sighted and destructive to me as well - not the action of some wise, caring "uncle".

In typical chicken-egg fashion there is no better teacher than having skin in the game, but just make sure you know what you're doing before you jump in.

Personally I tend to encourage people to read Bogleheads' Guide to Investing first. That should equip you with everything you need in order to get your feet wet.

Then, while you're checking your investments every day (exactly the way the book tells you not to do), start to read as much as you can about Permanent Portfolio. The reason I recommend this is because it allows you to learn the theory of (and indeed watch, if you decide to build your own Permanent Portfolio) different asset classes, and how they move depending on various macroeconomic factors.

Finally, if you want to start stock picking I'd recommend getting started with Peter Lynch's books.

I'm excited for ReactJS catching fire. I've been using a lot of it lately, and most recently I had to go back to a set of components I built to add functionality. In total, the front-end took maybe 20 minutes: no fishing around for the right selector or clashing functions. Just "here's a new button, attach this event"

Using the example in the article, we're already dealing with companies that are willfully violating copyright (not some dummy kid uploading tv clips to youtube with "no copyright entended" in the description).

How do they not also work around this system?

Say I go on youtube, download Destin's video, cut out his talking and advertizing portions. I'll just change the watermark while I'm there and then slap it on facebook.

Even if we go cryptographic, and replace the watermarks with public key signing, does facebook only host properly signed videos? Then how does the chain of trust work? For automated transcoding by youtube and the like work? How do I get a trusted public key for cute videos of my cats that doesn't create an infinite well of keys for freebooters?

So maybe we can't just sign, we have to add in DRM so that only authorized player widgets can even decode the video in the first place. That doesn't stop piracy of hollywood material, why would it stop a media company from freebooting?

Here's a question from a fairly seasoned Python dev.

Since we already have Django and Flask, both with tons of documentation and a gazillion plugins each, what's the purpose of this framework?

Do we need a framework with superpowers? Do we at all need yet another framework?

When I need a micro framework I use Flask. That's almost never, but happens when I need to plug into HTTP fast.

When I need to develop a more serious web app - I use Django.

So in my view this is yet another piece of open source code that has eaten tons of time and gave no advancement to humanity.

Please, solve a problem for me and I will praise you.
Using internet points this way is not mathematically sound.

You're using a highly biased sample, to begin with.
The mathematics here start with the assumption that you have a random sample. You don't. The assumption is invalid; and there's no reason to believe this calculation is a good one compared with any other.

A particular type of person votes on particular things: it's commonly observed that new movies rate higher than they should on IMDB, because super-fans are the first to vote. (This is convenient for your example)
Additional issue is how these companies come about. They seem to be dependent on backtests to see if their secret formula works. While this approach might be workable in coding, it is not so straightforward in finance. As pointed out in the blog:

>But again and again, Wealthfront tries without blinking to draw a straight line between tax alpha and cold hard cash. For example, they offer a chart titled “After-tax Price Return of VTI vs. Direct Indexing” that appears to show that if you had merely flipped on Direct Indexing in 2000, you would have earned ~2% compared to losing 9% with Vanguard’s ancient index fund technology! They appear to reach these numbers simply by adding the maximum possible tax alpha to VTI’s return.

What Wealthfront did not talk about is - with S&P500 component stocks changing, so will the portfolio. It would need to rebalanced and constituted causing brokerage and other charges. While in hindsight it looks great, the actual trades during live environment could have been different.
monopoly mystery solved, but what's up with DJ David?
The article points out issues with this exact implementation at an 11M:1 gear ratio but begs the question whether a less extreme ratio using "grinder" gears has any application or not.

Regardless, the conclusion about new innovations at the end of the article was exciting/encouraging to read.
There a number of JVM's written in Java with an mini interpreter in machine code. All code starts in the interpreter. GC and JIT run on themselves, more and more code gets optimized and no longer runs in the mini interpreter but actually is machine code.

I believe maxime and JikesVM are java with minimal assembly interpreters. There is one for Squeek and smalltalk as well.
PyPy probably fits in this category as well.

All though all of these are meta circular now. i.e. the assembly mini interpreter has been thrown away and the generated machine code saved and shipped as a bin/exe.
It seems like the way to do it is from a bit of both camps. Someone has just got to make it, deploy it and use it. Critically is this bit: Everyone (including the author) needs to learn from it, decide how to improve, what to change what to scrap. For there is were the specification process starts for all involved.

Refer to how SPDY was developed. Lessons were learned because stuff got done and it was out there. Then everybody came back to the table a little wiser. On the whole at least that's how it looked to me.

> In my opinion, when you install an ad blocker, you're already exceptionally unlikely to click an ad on purpose.

I don't think that's the case, I think it's just a lie told by people working in ad sales

Nobody installs ad block because they realised they weren't interested in any of the adverts. They're doing it because some adverts are annoying or distracting or browser intensive or privacy violating or...

None of those things make a person less likely to click on an advert if they see one that is both reasonably presented and relevant to their interests.

Of course there are people who detest adverts, and in those people there's obviously a (close to 100% I presume) crossover between "has adblock" and "wouldn't click anyway", but I think those people are a small minority of people blocking ads.
The application is obvious: DIY "Machine with Concrete" (http://makezine.com/2012/04/25/arthur-gansons-machine-with-c...) kits. I'm sure Arthur Ganson won't mind.
Depends on the details of the system, but in general it is highly unlikely. Usually already a binary star system does not really have nice orbits, since a too close encounter between a planet and a star basically acts like a fly-by-maneuver, so that it transfers energy to the planet and potentially kicks it out of the system.

A example for a triple star system would be Alpha Centauri and Proxima Centauri, the closest star system to the Solar System. Alpha Centauri is a double star and Proxima Centauri orbits it at a huge distance, such that the seperation between the components of Alpha Centauri is no longer important for the orbit.

So it is certainly possible to find stable orbits, even in a very unusual star system like this one. But they are ( except in very rare cases), just elliptical orbits at huge distances.
Ask HN: How can developers learn business?
There are tons of resources for people who want to learn programming and web development but where and how can we learn how to do management, marketing, accounting and how to validate startup ideas?
These folks are trying something like that: https://saybyebuy.com/

As an idea, I feel it's wonderful. It would massively reduce wastage.
In my experience it's also one of the most complicated. Maybe it was just our specific use case but my experience with AdWords was 2 months of tweaking keywords and consulting with one of their free specialists. $40/day. After about $1000 we were seeing an average of $13 per conversion, and stopped. Facebook ads were setup in 5min, nothing special, same area targeting, same messaging and graphics: $2.50 per conversion.
The paper talks about two main findings:

1. Test accounts that visited substance abuse websites were much more likely to be shown ads for Watershed Rehab but nothing shows up on the ad settings page indicating the change.

2. Test accounts where the ad settings page has gender=male were much more likely to be shown ads for the recruiter careerchange.com, which offered "$200k+ Jobs - Execs Only".

The first case sounds very much like retargeting. The substance abuse website would drop a cookie and get a small payment from a central db for telling them that this cookie is associated with viewing substance abuse websites. Then Watershed Rehab wants to advertise to substance abuse website visitors, so they pay the central db for a list of cookies, which includes this one. Then Watershed sets up an ad campaign with Google and asks to target visitors with cookies on this list. This can't show up as an "interest" on the ads settings page as "substance abuse" because the association was made by third parties; Google doesn't have enough of the picture to see what happened. You can opt out of retargeting by turning off "interest based ads" at https://www.google.com/settings/ads

The second case sounds like careerchange.com submitted an ad campaign that looked at the gender field. Advertisers have tried to target specific genders for a long time through color and where they advertise, but the internet does make it much more explicit. Still, this is a very small sample to be drawing large conclusions about, especially as careerchange.com stopped doing it (observed in their May run but not the June one).

Disclaimer: I work at Google, on open source software, and I don't know anything about these specific cases.
