I met my wife about 6 years ago on OKCupid. From what I understand, the site has grown quite a bit and the audience has changed a bit.

With that said though, my advice: Send lots of messages, and go on as many dates as possible.
Next step: Act like you want to be perceived by others.
You're going too far in the opposite direction. It's simply another datapoint.

> I wonder how landlords have dealt with this problem all that time before we had social media.

They would ask for your previous landlords, and possibly call them for references. Maybe there was just more damage done back in those days, which is now preventable. I don't think they pay people to stalk social media for fun, there's probably a legitimate business practice behind it. Whether that improvement in their business performance is worth the loss of privacy is an open question and worth debate.

> By your logic landlords are just handing contracts out at random if they can't stalk you online.

What? They didn't say that. Don't put words into the parent's mouth. Strawmen are really poor argument opponents.
I once worked for a startup in the education industry. One day, when Blackboard released a new product that directly competed with us, we noticed that their new logo was an obvious, clearly intentional rip-off of our own. It was actually gratifying, as a group of mostly recent graduates, to so clearly have threatened a billion dollar company.
I don't recall the last time I've had a room without a fridge, or a 3* without a sofa when King, and I mostly only book opaque 2.5* to 3* !

You usually lose the fridge and the microwave if you upgrade to 3.5* +, and gain the RFID-enabled minibar at perhaps 4*.
Sure, but now you're just describing the propaganda that was used to get ordinary people to die and kill for their rulers.
How to get a better body by pushing your comfort zone
To recap the facts:

- Man drives car on public highway @ speeds of up to 70mph

- Hackers turn on windshield wipers and fluid to blur view

- Hackers Blare music and obscure any comms link to driver

- Hackers disable vehicle on Highway at location with no shoulder

And there are people who are not only ok with type of experiment but think there should be more of it.

I understand that these exploits need to get attention... but I really can't stop thinking about my wife and kids being behind this guy while he shows how dangerous this can be.

I applaud the person who notified the police.
Probably a silly question but just to rule it out - are you drinking coffee (or anything caffeinated) throughout the day while you are coding?
The sortable animations are incredibly bad on ipad 2 (ios 7) as well.
Editors at the Washington Post called this kind of story a "AAA" assignment, meaning that a reporter was tasked to "Ask Any Asshole". This was long before Twitter, etc. They would actually stop random people on the street and ask their opinions.

I've tried melatonin, cutting out alcohol, f.lux, not looking at a screen for an hour before bed, but the one thing that has had the most influence on my sleep (for the better) is cutting out caffeine after 4pm. (relevant study: http://www.aasmnet.org/jcsm/ViewAbstract.aspx?pid=29198)
The driver was aware of their activities, so he is probably the only one with any legal culpability.

I am really curious at how is the scene for .NET developers, with the rise of things like nw.js(node-webkit) and electron(github's atom shell).

I do know that the framework is stronger and more test proven but the traction this type of tools are earning is important.

Will the .net framework will conquer the heart of developers with the release of some of their projects as open source, and will create the best cross platform desktop development kit?

Or is it doomed to be a Windows only beutiful thing.
>Not trying to criticize here, but i've never cared for the term "stay strong" it's like telling someone who's depressed to "just be happy".

Just as most people aren't depressed and thus can influence their own happiness and can take responsibility for their own emotions (depression is a disease which robs a person of this control), I believe most of us are responsible for our willpower and strength.

Through meditation, or reflection, or any number of ways, we can center ourselves, we can strengthen ourselves, we can be better.

I understand that if you have a disease like depression you cannot take control of your happiness, but that doesn't absolve the rest of us of our responsibility for both mental health and physical health.

Just as we work out our bodies we must "work out" our minds, and stay strong is a message to the 95% of us who have control of ourselves to stay on our path to mental and physical health and the benefits it provides.
"I could stick it out another 7 months to claim the bonus but hate to stay at a place where I feel like things are hopeless and I'm making no contributions"

I'm a non-programmer in SV so I'm potentially jealous/out of the loop, but I will say something no one else here is: Quit being a baby.

Unless you have another bonus offer, giving up on 35k because of your feelings is a childish move at best. You have 7 freaking months, which is a blip. In other industries it might take you 7 months just to get another job.

You might think 7 months is a long time if you are just out of school and still think in semesters. But you will have many more periods that feel this way, except without a bonus.

Unless you have a legitimately better offer, sack it up and get your bonus. It won't always be good times.

Edit: I will even go so far as to say that you are lucky the project is overdue and bloated, because that is the entire reason your bonus exists in the first place.
What civil right would the lessor be violating, I'm curious. I would be taken aback by being asked for social media identities, but I can't imagine what civil right asking for that would violate.

I imagine it'd be similar to banning asking for phone number or social media handles of someone you're trying to chat up for fear it could lead to harassment.

Badness can only happen with what they do with the information, not the information itself.
This is probably pretty good advice for most, but I'm one of those with a dry, sarcastic, sense of humor, and that doesn't always translate well online (unless, perhaps, as a video).
Caffeine destroys my sleep. It didn't use to, but since I dialed down my caffeine intake, I'm more sensitive to it. If I forget and have a coffee after dinner, I'm done for and won't fall asleep before 2AM-3AM.

At least I know the pattern. A problem without solution is already solved: I just pick up a good book and wait it out, knowing I'll be sleepy the next day.
Dad worked at a firm that produced high-reliability capacitors (they went into the IBM System/360, etc) and they did 100% testing. IBM would do their own 100% testing upon receipt, and they would still find a few rejects each month. They investigated these of course, but never really found a cause. They marked it up to delayed yield problems from the production line.

The funny thing was Delphi was also a customer (the electronics subsidiary of General Motors). They wouldn't pay for more than normal statistical sampling. When he visited them, they had large bins of defective car radios that wouldn't turn-on, etc. To Delphi it was cheaper to run the production line flat-out and deal with the failures, rather than find problems earlier by inspection of received parts.
As well as the list approach, actually say loud to yourself "I will solve thhe unfinished problems tomorrow, tonight I will relax". Give yourself permission to relax!
Interesting to see IBM placing a bet each way by joining the new foundation, seeing as they're already in the Cloud Foundry Foundation.

Edit: and I see the Cloud Foundry Foundation logo on the Cloud Native Foundation homepage. It's Foundations all the way down.

(Disclaimer: I work for another CFF member, Pivotal).
Yes, yes. We wouldn't be having this big thread about the safety of the experiment, and consideration for other motorists, if they hadn't done it this way.

If they had done this in a parking lot at 25 MPH with a couple cops present, the way Mythbusters does things, they would have ONLY had a story about hacking a Jeep to shut it down. And if they played their cards right, they might even be able to start some LEO contracts for car-disabling equipment.
It's not that your points are irrelevant, it's that they needlessly draw attention from the issue at hand: that the car manufacturers are being criminally negligent.
Quit Professional Poker and Do Something Useful
I was thinking about how dangerous it was while I was reading it too, but I came away far less concerned than you I guess. The deceleration on the highway was the most worrisome, but it's not even in the ballpark of common driving hazards like distracted folks on cellphones or flying debris. A crash from such a thing is unlikely and the inconvenience is pretty minimal.

Even you, the busybody who called the cops because you read an article, said "What was the plan if the trucker approaching at 70mph hadn't seen the Jeep stalled early..." which implies that the trucker would have been following too closely or not paying attention (or both).

It's worth pointing out that the driver was aware of the situation and they didn't do anything dramatic like lock the brakes or throw the car in reverse. They chose a gentle deceleration in a stretch of road that had no shoulder to make it feel dangerous, but, on the spectrum of hazards that most drivers face every time they take the car out of the garage, this is pretty tame.

The fact is, had something happened, it wouldn't have been the disabled car that was at fault.

I think the researchers are in the clear, and for you to have read the article and been bothered enough to call the cops (and post the number for, presumably, the convenience of other hyper-sensitive folk who might otherwise just go back to staring at the neighbor kids from their bedroom window with their phones in their hands and 911 on their speed dial) is nuts.
Hi,

Was hoping to get some early feedback into our product. We're helping retailers and franchises get a good understanding of the market and identify great locations on where to place their next store.

I'd be happy to answer any questions and would love if you can give us feedback on how to make it more useful.
If you're depressed making the first move to reach out to talk about your situation is really fucking hard, especially if people's perception of you is that you're some sort of go-getting independent business founder who can do everything. This is a reminder that it's worthwhile dropping an email/text/phone call to someone you've not spoken to for a while - it's possible that no one has reached out to them recently, and they need to talk.

The worst that could happen is you have a chat, while the best that could happen, without wishing to sound overly melodramatic, is that you save their life.
Saving drug user's lives? I don't believe it. The press has clearly told me multiple times that reddit is just for despicable people to be be sexist and racist.
Are we going to ignore the largest carceral state in the world?

We can have a sober criticism of all forms of states and capitalism without insisting on one hand that there are only two possibilities and on the other hand that we must choose one as morally superior.

The imperialist nationalist history of capitalism is more than bloody, blood is what makes the world fertile for capitalism.

I will only briefly mention that leftists have attacked states like the USSR as a form of state capitalism since the days Lenin was still alive. I see little potential in developing this line of thought here.
At least now they'll face charges of reckless driving, rather than unauthorized access to the vin+gps+etc of various vehicles.

The term "Social Justice Warrior" is often used to dismiss people who argue against discrimination in various arenas. If you want to be taken seriously in discussions about discrimination, then perhaps avoid it.

Putting that aside, I share pjc50's bemusement that arguing for equal pay qualifies as a "hidden agenda". I also don't find speculation the same as "explicitly exposing facts".
> These guys are elite, their demo was badass, and I've done stupider things on I-40 for no reason.

"Elite," seriously? Is it 1995? Is the movie "Hackers" some type of inspiration to you? I'm almost surprised you didn't go all l33t speak.

They endangered people's lives. It is as simple as that. If you too endanger people's lives "for no reason" on I-40 I hope they get you too.
I look at it more in terms of concrete, material support: if you're geographically near a Communist state, that Communist state has a strong interest in undermining your government for its own ends. It's also far easier for them to supply material and men, rely on social networks to diffuse propaganda, etc. A Communist Vietnam IMO makes a Communist Indonesia and even India much more likely (which would be a disaster on a huge scale); South Africa or Peru, though, next to no effect, or maybe even a negative effect.

The real genius of Kissinger was realizing the abstraction of a unified Communist block was pretty faulty, and national interests superseded any ideological fidelity to the Communist cause.

I find that if I'm having trouble sleeping because my mind is jumping all over the place, intentionally taking time aside before sleeping to clear my head helps a lot. I just sit on the floor, examine my current thoughts, thing about them a little and write down important ones for a few minutes, then decide to stop. At this point I just practice clearing my mind for a few minutes. Thought popped back into your head? That's fine, realize it happened, and try again. Meditation, mindfulness, whatever you call it - works well for me!

What a nicely designed website. Readable, usable, doesn't peg my CPU or do weird things as I scroll.

I viewed the source and it is clean and readable - no evidence of some lame IDE sticking in forty &nbsp;'s or twnety nested tables just because you wanted your column two pixels to the left.

I wish more of the web looked like this and it makes me happy to see that some smart folks value design like this.

Ask HN: SEO/SEM advise for a niche startup in a mature market?
I am launching a niche product in mature market on a bootstrapped budget. I have been reading up on SEO and SEM and also subscribed to Moz , Spyfu and WordTracker.

So what are my options ?

>then you have stepped into politics

You can ignore politics but politics will not ignore you; politics is why tech worker salaries were kept artificially lowered and why Google and others had an anti-poaching arrangement.

She should have prepared a bit better but this was the safe move for her; it's out of her hands and the salary information has appeared on sites like GlassDoor. If she's fired everyone will know it's because of this ugly politics and people will want to avoid working for Google since it's no longer a tech company but a company dominated by managerial power players and sharks. Who wants to work at a place where you have ugly politics like this after all?

Except contexts aren't as clear cut. As humans we tend to switch contexts all the time often even within the same conversation. We also frequently nest contexts, which works fine as long as the vocabulary of each context doesn't overlap too much.

Terms like "isomorphic" and "transparent" are ambiguous, especially if you're not familiar with their use in the active context, even more so if you're already familiar with their use in a different context and most definitely if you weren't aware you just switched contexts and the term has a defined meaning in the active context: "evolution is just a theory" comes to mind (the speaker obviously not being aware that "theory" in the context in which evolution is called one is something very different from the colloquial definition they are familiar with).

I'm not arguing we shouldn't use the term "isomorphic". The context in which "isomorphic" is used in the web sense and that in which it is used in the mathematical sense are unlikely to overlap as frequently as the most vocal opponents would claim.

I'm just pointing out that the ambiguity is real and that it will continue to be a problem until the definition in the context of web applications (or any environment-agnostic application, really) becomes widely enough known that programmers only familiar with the mathematical definition stop being confused and see it as what it is: a new piece of jargon they have to learn if they want to join the discussion.

So Kubernetes compliments Docker, but how it complements it.

I had tested Docker just for fun, thinking that maybe I could implement it in the way I work, and sure it is a super tool for developing (far better than Virtual Machines), but deploying was kind of nightmerish, for what I understood Docker wasn't at the time ready for being a deployment tool.

Does Kubernetes fixes or extends Docker in this way

Except context is completely different online than in-person. Heck, online context is different for people using different devices and browsers.

In-person communication is rife with unspoken, yet understood, shared knowledge: body language, facial expressions, tone of voice, information about social standing between two individuals, etc.

Whereas we're still sorting out how to properly interact online, having only been doing it (at scale) for ~20 years.
In terms of desktop development, it's important to keep in mind that Windows is still what's running on ~90% of desktops and laptops outside a few bubbles.
