It depends on the person. Generally, it dings your score anywhere from 6-12 points per application (or, more accurately, per hard inquiry). This recovers over the course of a few months and increases the score over the long term due to more available credit. If you're newer to credit in general, I've heard that it reduces your score more, possibly because the FICO algorithms don't quite know what type of risk you are yet.

I've actually found that the proportion of used/new credit has a larger effect on credit score. Don't max out your credit limits, folks.
Feynman had a nice story where he figured out a way to crack many of the safes in Los Alamos, then dutifully reported his method to some bigshot general. The general said "hmm interesting, thank you very much", and banned Feynman from entering rooms with safes or something. The safes stayed as unsafe as ever.

You remind me of that general. You should be hanging out on Catch The Hacker News, not Hacker News.
You are of course right.

Users of software don’t care for the terms developers use to label their creations, “web app” or “web page” — it’s all the same to them. More importantly, they expect an identical behaviour from both. So when a web app can’t recreate its state from URL it’s breaking a fundamental web UI convention.

Another core UI convention that is often disregarded by web app developers is link click behaviour, i.e. you expect anything that performs a function of a link to behave as it normally would when you click on it with mouse’s middle button, or right click → context menu, or left click with modifier keys (cmd/ctrl, shift). Everyone got used to this and when the pattern is broken it is most annoying.
Switching to RyuJIT is great. Also, the SIMD support being a first-class citizen in the runtime and BCL seems huge for gaming and number-crunching related applications.
If the only way your friends reach out to you is FB, then they're probably not so much of friends. My real friends know my email, phone, IM, etc. There're plenty of ways to get in touch, if you value the person you're trying to reach.
[off-topic question] I know YC asks the oversea team which got YC investment to move to Bay Area. But how do they deal with the visa? I don't think all of them have H1B or L1 visa. I heard a team moved to Bay Area with B1/B2 visa. Is it legal?
The article doesn't have any concrete numbers for where companies are moving, but it does offer this:

"People telecommute. People move into the city or into faux-urban areas that are friendlier to pedestrians, that aren’t barnacled on a highway. Younger generations don’t want to be stranded in a “Dilbert” cartoon. They want cozy nooks and nap spaces, walkable commutes, the tastes and conveniences of the city."
> Calling the police on security researchers...I honestly cannot believe this is considered acceptable behavior. A much less aggressive (and thoughtful) move would be to contact the researchers directly. Wow.

What would contacting the researchers achieve? They arbitrarily did the experiment in a public highway "to make the headline more shocking".

As much as I support any kind of security research, and as much as I support getting the attention of people to raise awareness, contacting the authorities was the correct move; a public highway is not a research lab without the proper permission from authorities.
>> The attacker’s PC had been wired into the vehicles’ onboard diagnostic port, a feature that normally gives repair technicians access to information about the car’s electronically controlled systems.

Is this even really considered an issue?
I'm sure the police are even more ill-equipped to understand the ramifications of this demonstration and will over-react and start jailing anyone with a laptop and suspicious intent.

I can't wait for the pathetic outrage when "racial profiling" now means harassing white kids with laptops that fit the profile of hacker.

This is a matter for a company like Google to take on politically, not some beat cop in St. Louis of all places.
I think we need to work on removing the stigma around general therapy. I have not personally seen a therapist, but of those I know who have, they almost always talk of it being a positive experience. In some cases, they have even advocated semi-regular therapy as a general health regimen, much like you might see a dentist or doctor regularly for checkups.
>> Maybe future cars have steering wheel stored away in the same way Spare tire is out of way.

A little off-topic, but an increasingly smaller number of cars are coming with spares (as someone who has experienced sidewall tire damage on the highway, it's an alarming trend).

More and more cars are just coming with tire patch kits, an aerosol tire fixer, or run-flat tires.

Not a new concept. Many have tried and failed. Even though the social cause is clear and many people will say great idea, very few will use it if their life is on the line. And even less will pay for it unless it's bundled with some sort of home care service/monitoring.

The 1st point is actually a big liability problem. If your life is at risk will you make a 911 call (which even works without data coverage) or trust an app that you have not started in a while to work as expected? And you must have data for it to work too right. Apps need consistent updates to fix bugs and when a OS update breaks it, you are putting people at risk. Too much of a risk to take to rely on an app to save your life.

The 2nd point, is whether you will end up having a business. You have a business when someone pays for your product/service. Until then it is not a business. Who will pay for this luxury of a better 911 and why do they really need it when 911 is free and more reliable? If the emergency is not 911 serious level than what role does the app play?

Hope these questions help you flesh your thinking around this space/product. Just because you build it don't mean they will come ;-)
check out hyper.sh, this is the future of public CaaS. After all, you don't need EC2 to host your containers, if you can run them directly with a hypervisor.
Thank you! Yep, that all sounds too familiar. Everybody's been saying with twins it will be extremely tough but well worth it :) I'm kind of glad we're having twins right off the bat since there's nothing we can compare to.

Being somewhat new to the whole 401k thing (I came from another country and only had a 'real' job for the last 2 yrs) I believe I'm your target customer. Now, 2 years later I like to think I kinda figured it out. Few observations I've had so far that may help you:
- my preconception is that if the employer doesn't match, there's no use to put anything in it - I'm sure I'm wrong but would be nice to have a way to (visualize?) what my gains could be anyway and prove me wrong
- by default, the service provider usually invests in the employers stock (right?), I know it's possible to split it up in different funds but would be nice to get better recommendation on how to diversify the investment and be able to simply choose on a grade from 'higher return, but risky' to 'low risk but low returns'. I have had it that I had no idea where my 401k went and luckily the employers stock did pretty well during that period but would be nice still to have a better understanding/education on how to best split and allocate
- probably not part of your core solution, but my wife found it very hard to transfer 401k between providers after leaving a job. I've heard from others as well as where they have 3 or 4 401k accounts with different providers because it can be hard and time consuming to consolidate.

Blame the messenger hey?. How about calling the cops on the company that actually put that crap tech in your car instead?
To the OP: You don't have to scare me twice. I'm sporting pre 9/11 PC-hardware and now I'll be driving a pre 9/11 car.
If you tell me that someone can remote control my underwear then maybe I'll have to draw the line there because I'm not buying pre 9/11 undies dammit....not yet anyway.
Oh man, I'd hate to be your neighbor.
Intelectually honestly: No. Agenda, yes. Hidden? No? It's a very unhidden, open, public agenda, when you lobby for transparency of pay.
There may well be "hybrids" for a while (think stop the car and convert to manual mode, not switch on the fly). If self driving cars really take off, I suspect it will become a niche market pretty quickly due to pressure from a) higher costs of vehicle, b) substantially higher insurance rates and possibly c) restricted roads (e.g. major interstates switch to auto only).

Perhaps you'll have status symbol sedans with a manual mode nearly nobody uses, and a number of other options that become more of an expensive hobby than a primary means of transportation.

We are a ways off from this technologically, but if the tech problems can be solved, it's pretty hard to imagine it not happening.
I suspect that if manual-driving cars are outlawed, it will only be in dense cities. Many rural states will prohibit anti-manual-operation ordinances.
Same situation, same sentiment. Chrysler is apparently "on the list" for CarPlay compatibility, but across all marquees, there are only two cars you can buy today that have it installed, and both are Ferraris. (The 2015 Volvo XC90 may have some form of CarPlay "preparation".) Don't hold your breath for backwards compatibility.

All I really want is two things:

1. The Voice button on my steering wheel to activate Siri. (Not the horrible UConnect voice assist.)

2. Waze maps on screen. (UConnect navigation is shit and not worth the price.)
Poorly maintained vehicles that break down while driving surprise the driver. This happens daily on public roads. Should we fine them for failing to maintain their vehicle to your standards?

There are autonomous vehicles being tested on our roads with a failure mode of "coast to a stop". They may not even have a human inside to react to things around them. Do the operators deserve to be jailed?

People modify their cars with various after-market upgrades and take them onto the highway. If the car fails, do they deserve to be imprisoned?

What a slippery slope!

Driving is a risk. The most deadly risk you will take each day. Drive defensively, don't be a statistic.
I'm not sure that assisting people to treat bleeding themselves without medical supervision is unambiguously saving lives; many of those people would have been saved if they had sought medical treatment instead of self-aid, and I don't see any data about how many died attempting self-aid that could have been saved if they had sought medical attention.

I was an active member on /r/opiates for ~2 years and it is a great place that talks extensively about harm reduction the pifalls of being an addict and operating safety in a high-friction low reputation seedy underworld of drug culture.

If you have never done heroin, it is dangerous as hell. Not just the drug, but the people you have to deal with to get it. Obviously, there were people on the subreddit tellng first time vicodin users to "bang that shit"[0] but there were people giving safe advice and counseling as well.

It is a strange place where people post a bundle of heroin and some cocaine and title the post "my breakfast (:", but also when a long time member says that they quit, there are dozens of congratulatory posts. This community is the biggest thing I miss about reddit. I still try to go to tripsit IRC to chat with people even after being clean.

Cars aren't toys. Just because there are many stalls doesn't mean adding one more becomes acceptable.

Here's the good test: since humans were involved, how did they present this to their ethical review board?

I'm pretty confident the answer would be "what's an ethical review board?".
"They also help the circle keep track of its time and money resources."

Curious who decides on the available resources.
How do we know that HN readers upvoted it, and not an upvote-bot-ring or other upvoting group? This really doesn't seem like the kind of article that should be on HN.
If self-driving cars become the norm, people will have no idea what a steering wheel is or how to use it, any more than people today would know what to do with a horse stored in the trunk for emergencies.

Worst case scenario it'd be a controller of some kind and the car would be limited to 5mph, enough to limp back.
Use a Kanban board, offload every single todo from your brain unto that board. When you are done with your active tasks you can sleep in peace. If you still find difficult, maybe you shouldn't go to bed directly after coding. Start earlier and do other relaxing activity prior to going to sleep. The usually blah blah blah, exercise, shower, stay away from electronics, don't drink alcohol or coffee, etc
This may seem crazy, but I have really found that the language makes a difference.

Specifically, at least for me, any language that uses character-delimited control structures (ie, curly brackets to begin and end a function as with javascript or PHP) is far more haunting and sleep-stealing.

I have far less of a problem with python or ruby.

I don't know if it's some kind of spacial comfort issue or what, but I've had many nights where I lay away seeing curly brackets on the back of my eyelids, and it's awful.

Other things that have helped me:

* f.lux, as someone mentioned - this has more helped with eye strength, but sleep too

* martial arts (high impact exercise is a great way to change your mindset and get into a new one)

* sex, as someone else broke the ice on (sometimes at the end of a long day of coding I've got a lot of sexual energy)

* acro yoga (nice if you're pair programming because the poses are for two people)

* going for a drive (getting some earth under you is nice)

* taking some time to quietly look at the stars
Awesome, I've always wondered why I Apple never made a volume mixer! Maybe because Windows made it first ;). Thanks.
>she stayed a few months in SRE, underperformed

If that's the case it looks like she wasn't aware of it; especially if you're suggesting a door was opened for her maybe there's some more transparency that's needed in the process.

Aside from Erica and her situation do you feel the salary sharing was a good thing? Did it negatively impact Google?

Totally agree, however banks actually make a ton on all kinds of 'service fees' so they like for you to overdraft and will be hesitant to do anything about it. I do believe though that if you were to start a new consumer bank from scratch, that could be one of the USPs.
As an employee you should kind of care about the company's problems, especially if they're ones that you caused. It doesn't read like a threat to me as much as it's a "Do you even realize the internal repercussions of everyone discussing their salaries?"

They're just asking for insight into why this could be a problem (think 3rd grade, "Do you know why this is wrong?") and she shoots back aggressively. I think her inability to produce any sort of thought besides oppression shows that she probably isn't able to handle issues like this.
You have not met our neighbours! Drug dealers, they run a vehicle repair 'service' from their garden despite local council enforcement notices. They regularly have fights in the street, my wife has been verbally abused and followed on numerous occcasions and there have been two police 'drugs raids' that have resulted in absolutlely nothing useful happening. I could go on, but it's not relevant.

This has no bearing on the original issue ('Calling police on security researchers'), but I'm just saying that you can't debate nicely with everyone.
Nobody is twice as likely to win the lottery. Saying that it's "close to a lottery" is clearly wrong.

Similarly, no game is evenly matched, and there's no particular reason any given player can't elevate their game to the point of beating the rake.
You forgot to fully finish the line of reasoning: "if they use it, then the 'bad' behavior will increase, so let them die."
There are a lot of roads where I live that are one lane, with passing places. Or most of the time both drivers have to aim for a wide-ish part of the road and both bump up the hedge a bit. God knows how Google car will do that, half the tourists have problems figuring it out.

It's common to meet a car, both pause while the drivers try to figure out who has a better chance of reversing 500 wiggly metres to a passing place. If you meet an old lady, man, just stick it in reverse and drive as far as you need, waiting for her to even find reverse is pointless.
If Myth Busters tested some wacky car on a public road at 70mph without telling anyone, we'd all be freaking out.

But because they were "researchers" (i.e. the same tribe as most leftist people here) from a university (leftist church) then they get a pass and all sorts of justification for why what they did was OK.

EDIT: Leftists go by label. They will heart any "researcher" thinking they must be their peer in their religion. They're not the sort of people that do some research before forming an opinion.

EDIT 2: There's no irony because most people defending the researchers are indeed leftists. This is like saying that there would be irony if I mistakenly thought that a politician said something (and hence argued based on that false knowledge that leftists attach themselves to politicians too quickly) when in fact it wasn't a politician but a celebrity. The point is, leftists defend people not on principles but based on how close they think they are to them - and reading "researchers" dings the "good people" bell in the leftist brain.

EDIT 3: The real irony here is that when free marketers say NASA should be shut down, leftists complain there's no way a private company can fund research, and here we are with leftists trying to shame me for mistakenly thinking a researcher was working for public money, when in fact I'm wrong and these researchers are actually the kind of researcher that leftists say can never exist: private researchers. Amazing. Do you at least now understand why NASA is a waste of taxpayer money (I don't care if it's 70c per person) or is the next excuse going to be that rockets are more expensive than cars?
I would put this more on the reporter. He knew full well what the plan was, and chose to put himself in the situation voluntarily.

I suspect there's also a bit of embellishment going on.
I should have clarified - the logged-out homepage. The one Reddit exposes to the internet at large.

There is currently a post with several thousand points: a picture of two women on the back of a garbage truck with the caption "Actual feminism." I'm not sure what that has to do with feminism, but I guess Reddit thinks women need to work seemingly "dirty" jobs before they're allowed to complain about work conditions.

But you're right, if you customize your subreddits you can avoid a lot of the scum.
When one signs up for G+, their G+ profile (containing information about them) becomes public. It is easy to rush through the setup process, especially when one did not desire to go through it, and accidentally share more information than desired.
because they had previously tested it and knew what each function was doing. this was the Hackers movie with them flying around a computer and poking and prodding random things.
I wonder if they managed to update the forum software so it doesn't take about 40s to load when the rest of the installation my uni have is lightning fast.

They have a long way to go, but it's better than the internal system we have as well.
Ianal, but from previous fallout on security issues, I'd assume legal liability stops well short of requiring actual competency.

Parent is 100% correct. It's market-adaptation. Same reason Samsung ships known-vulnerable extensions to Android: features >> security.

> So, it's perfectly possible that every engineer and manager who worked on these systems is really quite competent and perfectly aware of the potential for security flaws [...], and still the sum of all the decisions made and market pressures applied caused the resulting product to be so vulnerable despite everyone's best intentions.

I think this is key. Although I'd lump it more on management given that they allocate technical resources. When you have a lack of technical knowledge in management, you lose the ability to make technically informed decisions.

Sometimes the nuances of a situation can't be summed up in a PowerPoint slide. Especially when it's a slide that someone created to summarize a slide deck from an engineer that they saw.

You think at least some of the OPM vulnerabilities were internally unknown? Even with incompetence, you had to have actual engineers who looked at settings and/or lack of feedback and went "Hunh..."
On Silicon Valley:

Yet Facebook, Apple and Google — companies that brag about their forward thinking — are trying to reinvent this template of the past. They have commissioned high-profile architects to design versions of the ultimate office park in Silicon Valley, an hour-plus shuttle ride from San Francisco. [...] They will be movable, lightweight structures instead of blocky concrete buildings. Anything to attract brilliant minds and assure employees that they’re living in the future, not a glorified version of the past.
Why building a successful blog takes a long time
The article does suggest that more people are telecommuting, but given the amount of resistance that all employers have to telecommuting, I'm hesitant to believe. I really doubt that, all of a sudden, tens of thousands of federal employees are working from home.
Your app is compiled from MSIL to native on MS's servers if it's like Windows Phone. I think they can recompile everything if a dependency changes for example and push a new app version for you.
So what you're saying is this was small potatoes and they should have caused a pile-up.
Really? you called the cops? I agree that my initial thought after reading that part was "maybe this should have been done on a track", but come on. No one was hurt, time to move on.
That probably was the motive. But the side effect is that now people have public G+ profiles which they may not have wanted, sharing information about them (even as simple as their name and photo) that they would rather keep private.
