That's totally different, antsar. I'm 95% sure the motive for that was to simply grow the user base of G+ and try to get more people to know that the platform even exists.

Commotio cordis (Latin, "agitation of the heart") is an often lethal disruption of heart rhythm that occurs as a result of a blow to the area directly over the heart (the precordial region), at a critical time during the cycle of a heart beat causing cardiac arrest. It is a form of ventricular fibrillation (V-Fib), not mechanical damage to the heart muscle or surrounding organs, and not the result of heart disease. The fatality rate is about 65%.

Why does this only go in one direction? "Journalists" regularly publish reformatted company press releases, and quote "insiders" without attribution. That's fine because most news narratives support the status quo and those in power. When the (relatively) little guy has something to say, however, we're going to need some hard evidence! Our biases are telling.
Wasn't the metric for calculating self control was how long you were willing to wait for an additional marshmallow? Seems like a proxy for measuring self control that would be biased towards people with a propensity for obesity.

How'd that work out for Rolling Stone? When you report without fact-checking it's a disservice to readers, and sometimes, the people's voices you are trying to amplify.
Ask HN: Do you struggle to sleep after coding all day?
Seems whenever I've had a hard day fixing a bug or doing some difficult coding, I struggle to sleep at night thinking about it.

I find it worrying that the only people who feel safe speaking publicly on so many issues are people who profit from controversy and people with nothing to lose.
Varoufakis Appointed Director NIH “will just pretend the money hasn’t run out”
I agree, it is also hard to start a conversation around a handful of tweets. In the end all we can say is that wired messed up and this story will not get a proper write up and conversation.
That Erica Joy has shared a story is totally irrelevant to the way Wired has chosen to (not) report on it.
Gmail is good. Search is good. Docs+Sheets are .. ok for small things. The rest of Drive is a mess. I've not used the photos nor ever been linked to someone's gallery there. Youtube is technically impressive but also notorious for its comments section, and of course all of these are subject to the usual data retention questions.
I've found Heroku to be about 10x the cost of AppEngine for the same kinds of apps and users. I don't even want to imagine what it would cost to create my own ec2 sprawl to do what AppEngine can do out of the box. As far as languages go, I've gone to production with AppEngine apps written in Python and Clojure. I've diddled with Go. Unless what you want is something like Node.js, which has its own limitations, I don't see this as a big problem. As far as Datastore is concerned, you can substitute the implementation of it using technologies like AppScale: Cassandra, Hypertable, etc. But I've never seen another structured storage solution in a fabric form that works as well as Datastore for 90% of my problems AT SCALE. YMMV.

They could certainly have done a much better job of demoing this safely.

On the other hand, I'd rather that they be doing this work with the way they did it than not at all...
Sacking someone for making a mistake[1] is often more about petty revenge than any desire to improve things. It's a stupid policy. Someone who's made an error and learned from it is less likely to make it again than someone who hasn't made the error in the first place. This is the exact reason why experienced people are better qualified to do jobs than new people. Experience is valuable.

[1] By that I mean an actual, hard-to-foresee mistake that no one else caught rather than just incompetence or lack of ability. It's safe to assume that people without ability don't get in to decision making positions at NASA though.
Something, something about "English being twice as hard to read as it is to write, therefore anything written to be clever is guaranteed to be misunderstood."

While it would be indeed the best scenario that the whole humanity learned a common fully developed language, let's face it, it's highly unrealistic. The good thing about a stripped down, simple language like Toki Pona is that it would make it easier/less expensive to learn and therefore easier to spread. Plus as it is not tied to any country it avoids the classic chauvinism of some people who simply refuse to learn something coming from a "competing" nation.
How to Generate Traffic and Leads with Influencer Marketing
No, they really don't. I've seen it happen many times in finance, baseless accusations extracting large fines because settling is almost always cheaper than fighting in court. In something like hiring policies which can be discretionary, the problem is 10 times worse.
Here is an (apparently) non-anonymous comment from HN which seems to be saying the same thing:

There have been 10 Linux kernel CVEs issued in the last 2 months. That includes 4 code execution and/or privilege escalation vulnerabilities. That's not even counting any 0 day's that are (probably) sitting in someone's toolbox.

The point being that this isn't a Flash/Microsoft/pick your target problem, but it's an industry wide, software engineering problem.
I don't think you understand.
Anyone in the world can do this. Right now. Any time.
People do care if it makes the news. But the current official ways of doing the testing doesn't make the news and testing that is news worth gets the cops called on you. How convenient that testing a security flaw is viewed as more negligent than allowing them in the first place as a cost saving measure.
I don't think the network in this case was generated by an algorithm. According to Knuth, this network was discovered by M. W. Green and it's still the smallest (60 comparators) 16-input network known.
I have no twitter, no fb, no reddit, no g+, Github, and my account here is a throwaway which I regularly abandon and create a new one.

I was never asked for any of this (well, except github on job applications in the past which never been a problem when I explain them I don't have one) and if in the future I am, I probably will drop the deal (whatever it is) on the spot.

Is Company Data a Liability or an Asset?
Ought to be is the way it is. Firing an employee because he discusses his salary with other employees is illegal. You are free to fire that person, but you should expect a lawsuit.

And did you really link to a tutoring lesson about objective and subjective statements to 'prove your point'? What a useless thing to do. Your knee-jerk anti-establishment opinion about how the world works, based on your limited experience is not a good bellwether. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sophomoric); shoot the messenger if you like.
I could swear I saw "kubernetes" in the URL when I spun up a ManagedVM not to long ago. Thanks for the correction.
Kubernetes can run on Mesos as a Mesos service. Thereby giving you a more opinionated layout for your compute cluster, while running other peer Mesos services, such as Hadoop, Chronos And Marathon.

The so-called "domino theory" hypothesized that Communism could be modeled as a sort of ideological contagion. If one country became Communist, its neighbors were more likely to become Communist. So if left unchecked, Communism would spread throughout the world in a giant, red wave, leaving America as the last remaining bastion of freedom in the whole universe.

This theory was given additional credence because apparently, the Communists believed in it, too.

Well, it turns out that theory was just so much hot air.
I don't need any of that. I don't see the point in tech for the sake of it.
Linux Mint might be an option. It's essentially Ubuntu, but it swaps GNOME for Cinnamon which does away with a lot of the more recent GNOME changes.
Hm. Well, it was the first quine I arrived at. No special effort was made to make it short.
Sorry, but the cops lost that trust from me when the started sending swat teams and abusing power way to much. Since then, to me calling the cops has become a last resort. I dont trust ANY of them because of the few aholes that are abusing their power. Mainly caused because of their policies of shutting up and protecting each others. Until they fix this, i will not trust ANY cop again.
This is very interesting. And how little things have changed between 1977 and 2015 (from [3]):

"Originally it had been planned to slowly take STE programmers off of the Viking Project. By the time the STE was moved to KSC for operational test support, there were to be no programmers left. As matters turned out, the number of programmers assigned to STE peaked during this period. This
was only partially due to the problems with maintaining the H-632. New requirements for software functions constantly arose, both in Denver and at KSC. Two new programs were written at the Cape to assure that Flight loads would be correct."
Google has a lot of internal discussions in town halls, G+, TGIFs, memegen etc. You don't have to know someone personally to know how they approach issues.

Also I can completely understand why the Googler on reddit chose to remain anonymous. There's a pretty vocal brigade of "rabble rousers"(for lack of a better term) at Google.
In my opinion we are missing out on great discoveries because we allow a small number of humans determine if a scientific research question is worthy of funding. If a single scientist thinks an idea is worth doing and can find the resources to support it, she should do it.

We will move to a system where we only ask 'can this question be answered by the scientific method?' If we use the scientific method to answer these questions we will uncover secrets of the universe that would never survive in the current system humans have designed.

The best scientists do not design their experiments with a goal of publishing in top tier journals. And as a community, we should not be encouraging this behavior.

The best scientists investigate questions out of pure curiosity and as a side effect publish the most impactful research.

Young talented people are already tackling really hard and high risk problems. If this is truly what young scientists want to do, they will find a way. 10 years of guaranteed salary is not the solution, but giving everyone the opportunity to be a scientist may be.
A couple things I've found when evaluating these:

Docker Swarm seems to be the only one that supports one-off interactive containers that bind a TTY, like a Rails console (i.e. does the cluster support `docker run -it --rm busybox sh`). But its scheduling strategies[1] aren't as sophisticated as the others.

Marathon doesn't support linked containers[2], so if you're using Mesos and need linked containers, you probably will want to run Kubernetes on it and use pods.

I'm curious why would you admit to breaking laws on a permanently recorded forum? I mean the law may only be a civil violation but posts like this allow copyright trolls to "take you to the cleaners" if they can be connected to your name.
Sounds normal - your mind is still working on the problem.

I've been taking a melatonin supplement lately - it's helped. Cut back on your coffee intake if you drink coffee and try to work out for 10-20 minutes, even if it's just going for a walk or a light bike ride.
Given that cars get recalled all the time for "this one part is kind of flimsy and might break 3% of the time", I am not sure why "some guy in China can drive your car off a cliff" is not grounds for an immediate and full recall.

If you talk to auto manufacturers in a way that they understand, they will understand.
I'm not sure if you've worked at Google. There is a ton of bleeding edge software systems at Google that aren't user facing.
If you think the law is best seen as a mechanism for enforcing a common morality, then that's another thing we simply disagree about.
If that is the case, is that the fault of hiring and pay transparency, or the justice system?
The author writes, "Before I started looking for an apartment, I never gave much thought to the cumulative identity I had been presenting, or even performing, on the Internet. "

This is completely the opposite of my (also a millennial) experience. I blog on a regular basis, post things on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, what have you. The amount of thought that goes into each post ("could this be misconstrued by an employer?" "if I post this, will it offend one of my friends?" "Could this retweet become viral?") is paralyzing and exhausting, but not sharing is just as hard.

I've written a post about this feeling [1], but I don't have any solution. As someone who enjoys sharing ideas through writing and meeting people online, but is also very aware of how mob-happy our online civic society has become, it is a hard position to be in.

I think you're confusing complaints about copying twitter posts verbatim and calling it a story with an attack on somebody making a public worker's rights and possible discrimination complaint.

The reason we listen to people is to learn things.
I can't . Can you?
Does this apply in all walks of life for you?
Make some dead accounts. I have FB, twitter, linkedin, haven't logged into any of them in months, maybe years now. I've made three tweets in my life, all employer acceptable, one in Sept 2008 stating this is pretty boring, another a year or so ago reporting a software bug (seriously WTF this is how they accept reports?) and one more recently verifying my keybase key. The growth rate seems to be accelerating over the past seven years. It never fails to amaze me I have 11 followers none of whom I can identify (spammers I think).

They are legitimately my accounts, I just don't use their services. I have a paper list somewhere with over 220 accounts, many defunct of course. Most accounts across the entire internet are, of course, unused or empty, its not going to be unusual.

Don't conflate management with the company's owners, whose happiness is the actual goal. (Granted, sometimes these are the same people, wearing different hats.) As anyone who has worked in private industry can tell you, management often acts in its own interests, even when those interests conflict with those of both employees and owners.
I have a somewhat reverse problem. Some days I struggle to through the day coding, even on routine or easier coding tasks. When this happens find myself daydreaming or finding other things to do that are not work related. The real problem comes though at about 10-11pm and I get a huge burst of energy and focus to start working. I am left with a choice to stay up later and get work done, or go to bed and wake up earlier to catch up on work I missed. If I do decide to go to bed I will lay there for an hour or so just thinking about work and what I need to get done.

With that said, last year I was talking to my doctor about it at my annual physical. He suggested I exercise more often. So for about the last 6-7 months I have made a conscious effort that whenever I feel like I am starting to struggle I will go out for at least a 30 minute walk. I usually end up taking about 4-5 a day. There is definitely a direct correlation between the amount I walk and my productivity. And I am starting to sleep a whole lot better at night. Another thing that has helped me is I stopped drinking soda and now only drink water (or coffee).
You could say something like that about most activities people are involved in.

What is football? It's just an entertainment, not an end-goal in itself.

What are family dramas? They're only a boring part of life, not an end-goal in itself.

I'll leave the (figurative) you to enjoy your family dramas and football and drunken parties with friends if you leave me to enjoy my quadcopters and 3D printers.

Hello Saigon! I'm curious what other tech entrepreneurs/nomads we have out here. I've met many interesting, passionate technology people here, some expats and some locals. It's great to see the diversity in the scene here, just like you would expect from a major US city.

There's a lot of raw talent here, thanks to the outsourcing industry, university system, professional schools and huge number of young people looking to exceed their parents' standards.

If you're in Saigon - what are you doing here? I have a US company and am building the product with a relatively small team. Web focused, microservices/React stack.
I don't want to hijack the Kubernetes launch thread, but feel free to send me an email at dlorenc@google.com and I'll answer whatever I can. We have a lot of exciting stuff going out soon.
Yeah I didn't even at first take it to mean "the company can retaliate". I assumed the manager was referring to unrest & animosity at people undeservedly making more money than others.
Hey Kat,

Would YC Fellowship be open to later stage startups?

We've already gone through a previous accelerator, done some fundraising (below series A) and have employees. Moving would be difficult for us since our key business is in fashion (we're in NYC) and also employees. As founders we're happy to go down to SF once in a while, but the remote option would suit us perfectly.

thanks!

Isn't the car calling their service center / 911 one of the major selling points of the service?

The root problem is that they were able to flash an ECU with custom code. From there they are 'trusted' on the vehicle network and can trigger or emulate any other component.

Requiring the firmware image to be signed, or not accepting a bootload from the physical interface that's connected to the internet would be a more comprehensive solution.

Where have you worked that does not always have a "next thing to do"?

There's always things you could be doing, but they're often not critical (or even necessary). If someone is staying late to do those things (or doing them during the day and staying late to do the critical stuff) then they deserve no additional recognition. People should go home when the important stuff is done.

If people can't fit all the important work in to their day then they're either not good enough at their job or their manager is giving them too much to do. Either way, there is a problem.
Collecting evidence is the right way to approach situations like this. However, when the position is so politically entrenched, extra care _must_ be taken so that opponents cannot dismiss the data due to poor collection practices.

Unfortunately, that care was not taken in this case, and of course, you see opponents dismissing the data. The worst part is that this effort may actually prevent proper data collection in the future: "remember what happened last time we did that?"
In my opinion reproducibility is a technical problem. Once research is published and peer reviewed in real time, all studies should be reproducible. If they are not reproducible, we should have insight into exactly why they are not and propose a solution.

Allowing the flaw was negligent. This test was reckless. The law treats knowingly ignoring a risk as worse than unknowingly allowing one.
How to automatically create images for Responsive design
This article explains how to dynamically create responsive images with Cloudinary's Javascript library, which automatically builds image manipulation URLs to match the size available for each image, for simple and automatic integration within responsive design layouts (e.g., Bootstrap responsive layouts).
Sample code included for Javascript, Ruby on Rails, PHP, Node.js and more.
I use to be against LVT until I thought about the scenario where you have someone who buys a house cheap (probably a poor neighborhood) and renovates it. Under our current system of property tax, which depends on the assessed value of the property plus improvements, that inevitably prices home owners and renters in the neighborhood over time. Hence one of the reasons why gentrification pushes out the original residents from the neighborhood. And who gains? Those who do the improvements and those who bought the property before the up tick in valuation (and property taxes).

But under LVT, the tax stays the same whether or not you improve the property. Obviously, there may be some means to game the tax, but ultimately land speculation and gentrification wouldn't work out so well. Rents would still rise due to property improvements, but people would be able to justify those rents based solely on said improvements and not on some market bubble due to speculation. Plus, any improvements done by anyone (speculator or not) are not taxed any worse than those who can't afford or see no use for improvements. Ultimately, it's a more balanced approach to a real problem to be sure. Or at least it's one part of the solution.
Probably mixture of no sign of foul play and backlog.
