Apologies, I misinterpreted - so the 4M are a subset of the 6M supposedly in prison. This is a fair criticism.

The article makes the good point that reform won't happen with one piece of sweeping legislation, but rather with patchwork improvements to the system. What would you do to reduce incarceration rates? I would start with a reform of drug law

The entire article is rendered horrible for overlooking one gruesome statistic among many?

I applied naive bayes to generic news for a project a few years ago. Counter to some of the comments here, I think it works surprisingly well in filtering articles, and is a great way to start. One of the nicest aspects of it is that it doe

Used it for my Master's thesis research. It turned out pretty well; Go hits a sweet spot between systems programming and higher-level languages. Anecdotally, it performed about 2/3 as fast as C in stress tests, which was easily worth the pr

This same idea seems to crop up every month or so on HN, and it just seems like ego stoking. My friend is learning to program with a functional language. Does that automatically shoot him up to level 9?

Nitpicking, but it would be more accurate to say JS is semantically accepting. Eich tried to make as many syntactically valid constructs executable as possible.

I can't imagine using this over reddpics. Their tiled interface allows me to browse posts faster than the normal reddit interface. This in contrast feels slower than either, since you can only see a single image at a time.

Why? It's not as if you risk job stability working at Google. And at least while I was there, I didn't get the impression that devs were overworked (slightly different story for PMs).

Yes, they do. But that shouldn't be surprising.

I would argue the exact opposite: larger companies tend to have enough resources floating around to be able to perform research. e.g. Bell Labs, PARC, Watson, BBN... VCs have their place, but they fund ideas with shorter runways. It's the o

If YC articles have their own decay rate, then they remain on the front page longer. How is that not toying with the ranking algorithm? I've been on HN for a long time (longer than my already pretty old profile suggests), and I've never hea

Are you suggesting HN's ranking algorithm biases toward YC-related content? Because that is a serious accusation. I realize YC job posts can disable comments, and there is a separate tab for open jobs. That's no big deal because the behavio

This is not normal for computer science academia, at least in my current department or my alma mater's. I've only met one professor who doesn't seem to work more than an average software developer.

All seminal works in distributed systems, but as far as I can tell, there's little overlap with what OP is proposing. It's a pretty cool architecture, but the major drawback is that you're making events quite expensive with ACID guarantees.

For what it's worth, I didn't coin the phrase. AFAIK, pg started the conversation with the founder visa post: http://www.paulgraham.com/foundervisa.html And it has since evolved to the startup visa campaign: http://startupvisa.com/

Being from the (rest of the) US, what disturbs me about this poll is how much entrepreneurial talent we might be missing out on. At current count, ~2/3 of readers are from outside the US. These results seem to be backed up by pitdesi's post

I found this, more than anything else, to help me get started with 0mq: http://api.zeromq.org/ A lot of the behavior is on a per-protocol and socket type basis, which is well documented here: http://api.zeromq.org/2-1:zmq-socket

It's sad when academia is demoted to a "hobby." For me at least, money is less important than having discretion to work on novel projects. Also, I never called anyone arrogant, but rather the article itself. Big difference. I don't know P

Fair point. They can't, for example, randomly generate language semantics (how the hell would that work? :) All in all, though, this paper goes much further in trying to derive language usability than any I've seen. And it does seem disturb
