Sounds like you need to network and meet people who are in that position.

I'd suggest checking out python, django, and other web related meetups in your area and talking to people there.

A lot of those meetups accept speakers as well, so if you think you've worked on some domain problem that you can explain well, then create a quick tutorial / presentation and do it.

It will help establish some credibility and will make it easier for others to approach you as well.
For the record, that's not what Placemeter does. We don't individually identify people with our algorithms. (I am a PM at Placemeter.)

Blackmail. This is (one of many) reasons it's important that Troy be a trusted actor.
All front-end devs should be able to switch to that BFED mode though, especially on pages that don't _need_ to be fancy. This helps with cross-browser compatibility and pagespeed. You could still be fancy, but only as a necessity and even then it should be layered on the BFED-side.

The problem with devs nowadays is they skip the BFED and just jump into SPA's without knowing how to make a well-working website without tons and tons of sass/js.
Your home page freezes my Firefox (33.1 on Mac) :( . Have to pound through five or six unresponsive script warnings.

I wouldn't say Shumway has failed, it's still an active and new project. I can pretty much use any "traditional" vector animated flashes on them. Video is still a problem due to codec patent issues, which is a bit sad because it's a legal obstacle, not a technical one.
Seeing as you've admitted you don't understand what I'm talking about. Here is some reading material:

I like how you think. If we are going to have an earthquake, at the very least we should have an scheduled organized mild one.
More accurately, it's set as default and requires a user changing their region to turn it off. Still not great for freedom of information, but not quite as bad as mandatory.

the benefit of increasing dopamine

Have long term effects of that been researched? I mean, is it healthy to constantly (or however the effects last) and for multiple years have higher dopamine levels than what is natural for a person? Would you still notice the increase in dopamine after years, or would it then be the 'new' normal level?
> Because of the shame and brand damage of making such a terrible product?

From the article: this is the first Java zero day in two years.

Now how many other products we use all the time have had no zero days found for two years? Chrome? Windows? No.

What's more, it's not totally clear that this is even a problem in Java itself, seeing as it apparently relies on a Windows-specific common controls library exploit? There aren't enough details in the report to say, but it seems likely that this is somehow (ab)using AWT to trigger a bug in Microsoft's code.
In Canada (where the chip & pin is much more prevalent) I find paying via NFC to be a lot easier.

In many stores the credit card terminal is right in front of you. After indicating you'd like to pay via credit, the terminal is "activated" and shows your total owed. At this point you can insert your chip &pin card, or simply tap the card (or your phone) if there is an obvious NFC reader.

From the sounds of your comment, the whole timing of this workflow just isn't very smooth for you since many people are still paying with regular swipe credit cards.

Edit: Speeling!
The reason is similar to why people build emulators for old game systems: To be able preserve history.

There's a lot of Flash games and applications out there that would be completely inaccessible to people were it not for the Flash player.

For example, the Homestar Runner site is built entirely on Flash, and while movie rips of this exist, there's small, subtle interactive elements only possible in the Flash version. http://www.homestarrunner.com/

When Flash is dead a large part of the web goes dark, and that's a tragedy.
Show HN: CoreValue – A Swift framework for using Core Data with value types
I think this article is overly negative, some of the cases are not _always_ a disadvantage.

Take "fast back" as an example. If your app is interactive and updates live, the "back" page can already be up and running with the latest data, instead of first loading a cached version and then having it update with JS later.

Also, personally I'm not so sure users care about things like the "stop" button working. And "fast back" depends on the situation.

Having said that: if these kinds of articles reduce the risk of things like blogger.com being a SPA, keep writing :)
Usually they look guilty as hell, then cobble together something like "Oh, I was going to hand it in to the lifeguards." ... yeah, right. It's always adults too.

In the leisure industry that'e been happening big time on the Premium level for the last 10 years and now slowly at the Luxury level.

As for European/Global industrial powerhouses it's always been the red tape and government agency middle men that has been the main friction for moving in.

Whats happening is that these hassles are being removed as Greece gets more in line with European regulations.
Bing Image Search has vast quantities of child pornography. Even when the original server is long dead, the images persist in Bing's cache.

The International Telecommunication Union's Child Online Protection initiative advises Google of URLs that contain child sexual exploitation. I expect that it advises Microsoft as well but wouldn't know - Bing doesnt remove the items from their index as Google does.

I discussed this with Clark County Washington Deputy C. Bull on Friday. She suggested I point the problem out to the FBI. I told her that the FBI obviously knows what Bing is doing but does not pursue it. I have some theories as to why but really I dont know.

My concept of ethics evolved considerable a result of the 1986 Space Shuttle explosion. While most blame NASA for shady engineering I blame Morton Thiokol engineer Roger Boisjoly. He recommended the launch be scrubbed when he filed a safety report with his management.

I regard Boisjoly as ultimately responsible because he knew the o-rings were out of thermal tolerance yet he failed in his effort to get the launch scrubbed.

In his case the right thing to do would have been to have gone to the press.

While law enforcement is tasked with busting child pornographers I hold our elected officials ultimately responsible. For that reason, this evening I will write to each of the Redmond mayor, city councilmembers, King County councilmembers, each of Washington's legislators, the Washington governor and our Senators.

I would write to others but I am strapped for cash and so cannot purchase much postage.
Slippery slope? Humans already can do classification. Should we ban humans from identifying and counting other humans?

I can hire 2 guards who can remember people by taking a photo. And then I can have them recall who shows up. With people.

All my project does is substitute a computer for human. The only reason why we don't do the above is because people cost a lot more. Computer software and cycles are cheap.

And the procedure I used with my code saves a hash of the face. I cannot generate faces from the hash, although it would be a one liner to spool a face to the hard drive when a pic is captured. My software doesn't do that.
If Troy is trustworthy, he'll delete the transaction history.

However, there area number of attacks possible from Troy's perspective. He can keep a transaction history and use it to blackmail Alice and Bob. He can simply keep coins sent to the tumbler and send out nothing. It's very important that Troy be a trusted actor.

Nothing's really wrong with SPAs (they have benefits and drawbacks).

What's wrong is making a blanket statement that "every web app" should be one. Also you're trying to draw a fine distinction between web apps and websites, which could be another discussion altogether, probably with no big agreement on where to place the line.
It was such before the bankruptcy. In fact, the flight of people and businesses out of the city, and resulting collapse in tax base, is part of what caused the bankruptcy.
This is really reckless, I hope the Greek government rejects this deal. The debt is already beyond what Greece can pay, unemployment is very high, and yet the plan is to combine more debt and more austerity. This is nothing less than a power grab, there's no interest in a strong Greek economy before its public infrastructure has been sold off.

I hope the Greek government has the guts to go bankrupt. It'd be a short term loss with a long term gain. It's not like the creditors have to lose out, Argentina showed that by paying off its debts after their currency issues. Similarly, savings could be protected by freezing their value and offering to pay the equivalent in the new currency (assuming Greece would be required to leave the Euro).
Given that the vast majority of end users are not techie - what value does SPA add to an end user of a web application?
Hydraulic fracturing is now known as a way to cause earthquakes. What if we start fracking around the NW fault zones to cause one? Of course, how do you lubricate it just enough to cause a small quake but not the giant one?

Fortunately, Oklahoma, with their anti-science "we don't believe in global warming and we are against figuring out what is causing these not seen for 100 year earthquakes" is testing out exactly how to cause them.

Thanks Oklahoma! (this should replace thanks Obama in the lexicon).
It worked mostly on countries that were in a stable situation, and could use some extra money for surviving while implementing some needed changes with severe short term costs.

It could probably have worked in Argentina, but they didn't implement the changes.

Like, it's a loan. If you invest it on something good, it can be great. If you just spend it away, it'll be a problem. If you take it because you have other loans you can not pay, it'll be a disaster.

It was headed that way before the bankruptcy, though. People moving out caused the default, not the default causing people to move out.

The point is that Detroit going broke didn't bring all the capital markets in the US to their knees. It's definitely not good that Detroit went broke. But it didn't break the US economy.
It is virtually impossible to go back to a non unidirectional ui without feeling gross and disgusted. Working on a major angular project after doing some cljs with react feels like a decades step back - back to a horrible jsf like two way data binding disaster. Where is my state? Where is my api? Why did x put y here?

If it doesn't take hold this generation, it will definitely cycle back decades from now as the dominant way to structure ui code.

Between unidirectional flows and observables (or maybe some other async primitive) UI is getting very interesting these days. Personally I prefer rx to core.async. Core async just looks too awkward and low-level for me. RX I got immediately - a promise for a stream. Great stuff.
Very often these articles ask excellent questions -- but fully 80% of their value is in the prompt-question.

On the one hand, this question explodes into the "general purpose AI" literature. Less Wrong actually originated from a smaller community of people asking what did it mean for AI to be "friendly" to humans, very abstractly.

On the other hand, there's "good citizenship" desiderata. Maybe Hubert Dreyfus is correct and there can't be general AI, but the fact of the matter is that our actor-networks (as in Latour) are already crowded with algorithms and machines. What does it mean for a machine to be accountable, dependable, reliable, and yes, fair?

An image classifier should be invertible -- if we're consistently getting that black men look like apes, we should know what the machine thinks an ultra-archetype ape is. Interestingly, this has been the focus of a lot of research since I took that NN class in college back in 2001 -- we're able to visualize hidden layers now.

A credit scorer should be consistent with some wider sense of credit worthiness, sure. It should be possible to increment your credit score, at the margin, with marginal changes to (real, important) inputs, rather than have it place you in a brittle "unreliable" type. You should be able to dig yourself out of debt.

All of these are kind of domain specific, but I haven't spent much thought on it. It seems to me that there are some general characteristics (invertibility, smoothness across key controls) that should be identifiable.
After spending 3 years writing iOS interfaces solely in UIKit, my first work moving to cloud app development was solely in React/Om. It was like riding a bicycle for the first time. Amazing how far you could go in UI work with such (relatively) little effort.

> Since Mr. Gerrand decided to take cheap shots at other languages

I don't think I was taking any kind of "cheap shot." It is literally the origin story of Go. Google has a few unreasonably large C++ projects and the incredible build infrastructure to make that possible. It was in part Rob's dissatisfaction with this state of affairs that triggered the first discussions of Go.
Yes, reduced spending in any area can go too far. There's such a thing as justifiable spending. Calling it spending merely illustrates that it isn't automatically a good thing.

Yishan seems to love to do stuff like this. While I personally find it interesting, it also seems pretty unprofessional. Some issues with this particular comment:

1. Yishan no longer works at Reddit so I don't think he can be considered an authoritative source for what happened.

2. Yishan appointed Pao so isn't unbiased when discussing her.

3. The CEO's job is to represent the company. The chairman's job is to appoint the CEO. The outcome of events seems correct even if what Yishan says is true.
It's a very dark roast.
What's it worth to you be in “the zone” for extend periods of time?
That's interesting and now that I thin about it I probably could have guessed it was. Clearly I am not an expert in Chinese law. :)
This article is a day or two old.

More recent news is, this NYT author himself has yet to comment on why his article about Pao's resignation was retitled and rewritten "from fact to opinion", as Altman mentioned in a recent tweet.
I am curious. Particularly with your new sensor. It sounded like much of the video processing happens on the unit itself, meaning faces never reach Placemeter servers. Is it accurate to say that you're only getting counts and movement data?

My other question is how you derive count without uniquely identifying someone. If I'm entering a shop and a PM sensor sees me, will it know when I leave?
I guess it's different for different people. My wife's Nexus 5 that she purchased a couple of months after I got my iPhone 4S has held up much, much better than the iPhone did. I was so frustrated with how laggy and crash-prone my iPhone was (especially next to my wife's still-awesome Nexus) that I ended up buying a G4.
Neat! Thanks for bringing that to my attention!
Ask HN: How do I learn something in-depth online?
While there has been a growth in tutorials and videos teaching specific topic online, I feel there is still a bit difficult to learn something in-depth.

To give an example from where I am coming from - I was thinking of learning data science last year.

So I ended up googling - "How do I become a data scientist". This lead to me a quora question: https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-become-a-data-scientist
The answers gave me a much better idea on how to learn things in-depth. Even better than a Coursera specialisation/Udacity Nanodegree.

So the question is - how did you learn about your area of interest in-depth?
out of curiosity. what do you guys use for API management?
This is something I've personally struggled with as well. I don't think there is a one-size-fits-all solution but here's what helped me. Maybe it will apply to your situation.

Shipping a complete project is perhaps one of the best ways that helped me get past the "It has to be perfect" thought. In my case it was doing a few ludum dare competitions and forcing myself to submit whatever I finished after the weekend was over. After a few times of doing that it got a little easier to forgive some of the atrocious code I had written. Coding Horror has a good post on this, http://blog.codinghorror.com/version-1-sucks-but-ship-it-any....

Another thing for me was getting involved in open source projects and maintaining my own. The first project I open sourced was a port so once it was in working condition I made it available for others to use. That lead to other projects that I could finally finish even though they weren't "perfect".

I wish you the best and hope you can find a way to cope with it.
What is the purpose of enforcing module boundaries? That appears to be why none of these internal classes will be accessible. Outside of a sandboxed environment, who cares what you do? Is it for some magic optimization? Or just some folks on a rampage? (The quote from the guy saying it needs to die, and I read the mailing list, well it seems to be baseless.)
That happened well before. The bankruptcy was the result, not the cause, of Detroit's decline.

Note that "wasteland" is exaggerated. Certainly there are a lot of abandoned buildings and neighborhoods, but many places are still thriving. It's not what it once was, but there's still a lot going on.

Seems that there are a lot of stakeholders who are care a lot more about not having Greece default than was the case for Detroit, while at the same time nobody has enough power to really make anybody do anything. So Greece is coming down to a very long and drawn-out series of negotiations where nobody can put their foot down and say, look, here are the lines you can't cross, and here's where you're allowed some flexibility. Figure it out.

With Detroit, it all happened in an environment with a strong legal system that could keep the various parties under control. The fact that federal (and even state) benefits aren't affected by Detroit's finances no doubt helps a lot too. No matter what happened with Detroit, 70-year-old retired autoworkers living there would continue to receive Social Security. That simplifies things a lot since there's a backstop for how bad things can get in the worst case.
I wonder if they'll allow remote employees again.

Hi, I'm an MD with a specialty in psychiatry. I'm not in SF, but I just wanted to say that you aren't doing anything wrong. Doctors have been commoditized, and as far as insurance companies are concerned one is the same as another, like boxes in a warehouse.

Sadly, the online review sites don't (in my opinion) add much. It's unusual for any but the most disgruntled patients to bother adding a review.

Really the best way to find a good one without seeing each directly is the old stand-by: word of mouth. That said, there really is no complete substitute for the (expensive and time-consuming) approach of actually meeting with them.
He said OVH didn't give a reason for shutting him down, which seems unusual. Perhaps he's breaking their ToS?

>they should do so because the support revenue stemming from applets is surely outweighed by the damage to their brand overall.

'Surely'?

If that were the case, why wouldn't Oracle have already done so?

Why don't you assume that Oracle has already run the numbers on how much they collect from enterprise contracts to support all manner of legacy technologies (including applets) and choose to exploit it? A good portion of Oracle exists just to service that revenue stream.

You want them to also drop another revenue stream (Ask/Yahoo co-branding) because of the "damage to their brand overall" from a co-branded installer? Sounds like a good way to give Larry a chuckle.

I doubt many who care about the terrible JRE installer would suddenly start sending cash Oracle's way because they removed the Ask/Yahoo bundle.

I believe Dreamhost does as well.

Hosts dealing more with non-php applications (Heroku, DO), I guess, don't have it. But I've never needed to ask them for it, either.
