fantnn··on Bitcoin vault offering insurance is 'world's first'
lol stay pleb, volatility will continue to plummet with things like http://www.coinsetter.com , and with decreased volatility, things like insuring storage and then making profit on investment will continue to rise. You are a fucking moron
fantnn··on Do Women Only Initiatives Really Help Women?
b-but the patriarchy!
fantnn··on Is Ruby Fast Yet?
Was expecting one of those generic yes/no sites, a la http://istherejava0day.com/
fantnn··on Be a Man and Stand Up for Gender Equality
You are still suggesting that firms are somehow obligated to go out of their way to hire females due to some misguided sense of morality. Putting in extra effort to find a female developers would cost money that smaller firms may not have.

>Then it's pretty clear you've done a bad job of advertising your job openings. Did you, perhaps, just ask for referrals among your own personal network?

That is pure conjecture, there are differences in the way men and women think, with men more naturally drawn to STEM fields, and to attempt to legislate equality of outcome rather than equality of opportunity would be reverse sexism. Notice there is no mention of paid paternity leave, or other ways that women are blatantly given an advantage over men.

fantnn··on Someone just made a $147,239,214 Bitcoin transfer
Or Cryptolocker/other cyber criminals
fantnn··on High Frequency Dating
Some guy with an MFA is not qualified to talk about HFT and liquidity. I was referring more to an academic source, flash crashes are more the exception and not the rule; they stabilize quickly and have little to no lasting negative effect on industry.

and the empirical data, source or gtfo

Hft decreases volatility
fantnn··on Show HN: Interestin
There seems to be very little substance here besides a thin wrapper around some database queries to categorically show posts. The search is complete garbage also, I searched for "never give" (partial title of one of the posts). The post was 5th or 6th in the results, and the top results had neither search term anywhere in the article or title. This is "Uninterestin" in every sense of the word.
fantnn··on "BadBIOS" features explained
Guess I'll be adding a frequency emitter in this range near my air gapped machine.
fantnn··on Builders of Obama's health website saw red flags
not true, the debt crisis is a myth, and the more efficient functioning of government services across the board could end up paying for itself
fantnn··on You’re infected—if you want to see your data again, pay us $300 in Bitcoins
Yes.
fantnn··on 1 Mo. Treasury Jumps from 10 to 27 bps in 7 days
Obvious sarcasm but this is basically what they are doing with macroeconomics, see http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2013/10/whiskey-tango-foxtrot-...
fantnn··on Lavabit SSL Cert Revoked
Opinions vs. Facts The community should be encouraged to favour facts over opinions.

Er, this is one of the largest problems facing Democracy since it was invented millenia ago. Look at the current American government shutdown, and the way Republicans have managed to frame the debate using empty rhetoric, when in reality both the debt ceiling and government spending are currently not an issue http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2013/10/whiskey-tango-foxtrot-...

fantnn··on Why Don’t More Men Pursue Female-Dominated Professions?
Which is exactly what the post I quoted was doing, I'm not sure what you are trying to say
fantnn··on Why Don’t More Men Pursue Female-Dominated Professions?
The plural of anecdote is not data
fantnn··on Why Don’t More Men Pursue Female-Dominated Professions?
>Saying that men cannot be oppressed because they are the oppressors

There is a very vocal group of feminists who claim this very thing

fantnn··on Tessel: The end of web development as we know it
yeah we should just develop everything in assembly
fantnn··on Why Your Startup Can’t Find Developers
"Fake it 'til you make it," I believe the saying is
fantnn··on Why Your Startup Can’t Find Developers
>I'm an idea guy

>learning how to code

>WordPress plugins

>iPhone apps like Santa Strike.

lol you wonder why

fantnn··on Homeless, Unemployed, and Surviving on Bitcoins
The fact that there aren't currently enough jobs could very well be an unquantifiable negative externality of having a minimum wage.
fantnn··on Ask HN: What should I learn next?
I completely agree, most people I've ever encountered asking "What to learn next" don't really understand what they think they know. There are 100 different directions you can go from if you actually had a decent understanding of php/html/css; exploring the PHP source code, learning more about the network protocols that http/https requests operate on top of, web application security and security in general, browser implementation of css rendering/javascript engines/sandboxing, all of these things are natural extensions of web development, and are really just the tip of the iceberg.
fantnn··on Eloquent JavaScript, Second Edition
That's more so a core programming concept than a js concept.
fantnn··on Graying Linux developers look for new blood
No, just work at Red Hat or Google, they pay plenty of people to actively contribute to kernel development.
fantnn··on Don't Get Pwned on Public WiFi: Use Your Own VPN
with something like puppet, yeah
fantnn··on The Confidential Memo at the Heart of the Global Financial Crisis
The comments on reddit and the article itself almost make me support the NSA's surveillance programs; people can be convinced of anything given the right emotional rhetoric. Literally the left wing equivalent of the tea party, and more terrifying.
fantnn··on San Francisco Real Estate Exuberance
figure that out, you can make a nice chunk of cash
fantnn··on Pentagon Now Sees Big Data as 'National Security Threat'
much easier to just delete the iframe and overlay via F12
fantnn··on Ask HN: Do I need to go to college?
I went for a few years and completely agree with this, you'll learn as slow as the rest of the class, with arbitrary restrictions all over the place; it's an increasingly less effective relic of the industrial age, don't waste your time.
