"8. Do an unsolicited SEO analysis if you want to do marketing."

Great. That's all we need... more unsolicited SEO "improvements".
Hi HN: We just launched FanPulse this morning! It's been an awesome ride so far in the Summer 2010 batch with YC! Please give us any feedback you may have, we hope to build this out so you guys will love it.
Compelling reason to do SaaS #4972...
What the hell does any of this even mean?

1. What's the worst-case scenario as far as such attacks are concerned? How could it be done? Who has the resources to do it?

2. Would giving the President the power to "step in and stop it" do any good whatsoever? How would one "stop it"?

I don't know the answers to any of these questions, and I suspect neither do the politicians or journalists. But hopefully somebody here does?

I do remember that Richard Clarke spent most of his years as counterterrorism czar warning of a "cyber Pearl Harbor". Instead of that we actually got 9/11, so now they're warning about a "cyber 9/11".
Where are they sending the spacecraft? do they have any estimates on how fast it will get up to?
Ah, but Cantor's proof doesn't just prove that there's "at least one", it proves that there are infinite irrationals.

It's just the way this proof is often presented that leads people to believe that it only proves that at least one is irrational; but once you accept that there is one irrational number, you can "index" it and add it to your denumerable list (pretend it's rational, say) and then run the diagonlization argument again, yielding yet another irrational number. Do this ad infinitum. Or, rather, stop: this will not halt ;)

Other proofs prove that the rationals are not equinumerous to the reals, but that there is a one-to-one function from the rationals to the reals… but that's another story.

(EDIT: as I'm getting a lot of hate and downvotes for this, I suppose I could delete the comment. It was intended to try to clear matters up for the parent of this thread. It wasn't intended as a deep explanation of anything at all. Forgive my triviality.)
Not sure if anyone else has experienced this - but the bright light of the computer monitor does seem to affect it.

There is a good evidence for it:

Basically, if you are using it late at night you are getting light therapy at the wrong time though.

I'm currently doing an experiment where I turn off the computer at 11pm to see if it makes it easier to fall asleep earlier. This is harder to stick to than it sounds at first glance though.
Will hacker news be creating a fail whale page?
I am looking forward to the day the notion that functional languages are not suitable for developing software will die.

It is not only that functional languages are more succinct, easier to reason about and are more readable, they also often come with significantly better type systems. Some have type systems sophisticated enough to specify nearly all the legal states and guarantee these are the only states the program can stay in at compile time. One can look at languages with dependent types for that.

On the more practical front, Erlang proved itself over three decades to be one of the best choices when it comes to fault-tolerant, highly concurrent systems. Jane Street is using OCaml for all of their trading software, Morgan Stanley has moved to Scala, and so on and so forth.
So... the solution to pollution is dilution?
Not many, if these stats are accurate:

Also, they don’t get paid all that well.
It's not widely used. Pure Java (rather than Scala) seems off the beaten track. The documentation is sparse. The IDE plugins are less capable, and less documented. It is sloppy about rigorously declaring needed files. It's slow just to start up. Actual Python rather than Starlark as a build language. The API from custom rules to internals is leakier (I believe). Bazel has a huge ecosystem of third-party rules to do all sort of things.
How often do conservatives successfully run on the platform that they're going to end handouts? (Besides Trump)
This is a joke post, right?...
“Haskell people skew smarter”.

Well that’s me out. I’ll stick to JavaScript and C#.
Those are not limitations of plain text, those are limitations of your clients.
Disclosures: I've closely followed Nvidia for 15+ years, and own stock.

I feel Jensen and Nvidia still, very strongly, wanted to do the deal. The deal increased in value to $87bn only because NVDA's stock price increased that much. The real costs to Nvidia did not increase.

ARM is a legitimate competitor to x86, which Nvidia wanted to control.
In business school, my law teacher worked as a lawyer and only came in to teach us a few hours a week. He also was a really great teacher.
Correct me if I am wrong. Jobs is technically correct. Apple does not track anyone's location. Your iphone does. And in their infinite wisdom, Apple decided to store these footprints in the phone, rather unsecurely. Stupid? Yes.

And a one line response from Steve does not maketh the problem go away. This adds more fuel to the fire, if you ask me.

But I am hoping that with more awareness being brought on by these screw ups (intentional or otherwise) may finally be the reason for the frog to leap out of the tepid water. I don't believe we will give up the benefits of sharing our location completely for the sake of privacy.

The least desirable route in my opinion would be the regulatory route, where "Prescient" Uncle Sam dictates the rules. Which is why today's technology companies must collaborate in protecting the privacy of their customers, and build that in today. For them, an empty boiling pot or a dead frog, both are compelling reasons to change their ways today.
Raise $115K, sell for $35M? That's my favorite story of the day.
That's now your second edit...
This is really cool, but anonymous users can curl the resulting archives from the server without signing up. If you really want registered users, you might want to hide the user's asset files behind some sort of authentication.

Also, although it seems counter intuitive to visit this site with javascript disabled, it appears that the site does not work at all with those clients.
However justified you think piracy is, resisting efforts to turn a product you created for legitimate personal file sharing into a better BitTorrent is a valid business decision.

That's a really incendiary headline. Yes, they tried to kill an open source product, whose purpose was to facillitate illegal file sharing over DropBox.

The PR fallout from this among the tech community is probably nowhere near the fallout it would experience if it became the next Kazaa.
First off, that's super good to hear. Secondly, I'm absolutely flabbergasted that this reaction wasn't obvious to them from the get-go. This isn't the first time some silly addition of a wysiwyg feature has ended in outrage. What's even more astounding is that I don't think there are many features as despised as wysiwyg. It's up there with comic sans. Why make your entire UI revolve around one of the most despised features in the UX world?
get back to beijing with the report, let us know what new marching orders are.
I believe this type of project is referred to as geo-engineering, which is a bit more controversial as it's typically assumed that the side effects are somewhat unknown.
you can target those exact same small sub groups over the mediums I listed. I can pull a list of females 34-50 in county, zip, or neighborhood (whatever specific to the 1:1 human is my point). I can give that list to comcast/other addressable TV, I can call them, I can mail them, I can knock doors.

For reference I buy political digital ads for a living. I'm by no means saying I'm the best or I know everything but my point is this type of individualized campaigning has existed (and still exists) for other 'traditional' political messaging mediums.

Sure digital has better toolsets to optimize/try tons of creative. That's a valid difference. Cable that would be hard to do for instance (CTV is easy...). Phone scripts are optimized and tested fairly in depth if done right but not usually to the level of 100 different scripts.
Now this is fascinating!

This is a start toward what I'd call a sane form of ML Engineering. That is, assuming you can manage to mathematically express the fairness constraints ahead of time. It'll go a long way toward proofing against known hazardous functions.

One thing I'm curious of though is whether or not this approach severely increased training time. I'd imagine it would, since for every constraint you're stripping out a higher and higher chunk of possible functions to emulate. Although it makes me wonder whether the time viable candidate function could be found may be usable as a sort of walking stick to tease out relationships not immediately apparent in the data. I'd expect convergence/divergence of constraints and primary function optimizations to play a big role in determining whether your dataset will converge to a solution, or whether you just sent you're supercomputer loose on a wild goose chase.
Myunagi
The key is that he's not even an affiliate. His cut is coming from his customer, not from Stripe (he charges 1% on top of what Stripe charges the user). Therefore Stripe doesn't have a financial reason to build this app, they already collect the same fees from these users.
To be really creative, you need to stop reading Hacker News frantically and go out and explore nature, other people and your own thoughts.
I like Mark Roth's talk on suspended animation.
Wasn't not doing that a precondition that the EU imposed on the Whatsapp acquisition by Facebook?

Was that time-limited, is it not running afoul of that, or does Facebook just risk it?
So one can use FB products to stay in touch with their family or engage with the customers of their business but one should be ashamed to work there.

Is one held to this standard if they are a facebook engineer? What about a FB bus driver? house keeping staff? kitchen or security staff, content moderators? contractors? Just trying to gauge the paycheck $ value at which the conscience should awaken.

It's like asking the frycook to quit his job because the CxOs lead the company to make very tasty but unhealthy food, it's so good it's almost addictive. Surely the frycook has a conscience, no? Soon all the frycooks in the world will refuse to work there and we would have solved the problem!
you're both being downvoted because you're both completely wrong. it turns out permissively licensed, security-focused, and easy to maintain code bases aren't easy to find outside of OpenBSD. so sometimes they have to write their own.

As a grep user I recognize that not every project will cater to my needs as they may be using IDE A or Text Editor B. Therefore I have no reason to complain.

The problem with articles like this is that they're too patronising to be an engagement with the opposition, and they aren't charitable enough to present the opposing arguments in their strongest form. I say this as someone who mostly agrees with the author.

Also, why is it missing all the obvious case studies in favour of focusing on American ones? If you're going to talk about government healthcare intervention, please please please mention the UK's national health service.
To expand on number 7, the best way to maintain an early morning routine is to eat within 1 hour of waking. I went from a night owl to a person that wakes up every morning at 5am to run 5k and work out. Now on the weekends I can't sleep in past 7am.
I liked the way Drew put it:

It's also one of our core design principles to do fewer things rather than half-ass anything...
Bloomberg is reporting that Novell is "the maker of Linux operating-system software ...." (sic; emphasis added). See http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-11-22/novell-will-be-acqu....

(It's repeated further down in the story.)
If we are in a simulation it will be difficult to know that we are in a simulation because what we use to identify the simulation (mind) is itself simulated, our notion of simulation is acquired within the simulation. We are in this black box and are trying to see outside.
I do that mentally as well, but I generally ignore the word “sale”, and just focus on the most frequent low price.

Around a decade ago I regularly bought a particular food product for $10.99. Then one week it was 13.99. The following week it was “on sale” for 11.99. Then it went up to 12.99 for a few weeks before going back to 10.99. It was eye opening and I also learned to stock certain products.
The non-existent X11 security model is irrelevant considering on most systems anything under a uid can debug something else under a uid. Wayland's security is entirely pointless.

I suspect Wayland will just become a container for an X11 session.
Should have written the server in brainfuck, I guess.
First off--as the article notes--talking about uniformed law-enforcement officers in plain sight can't be a crime.

Second, the presence of police along highways and roads (esp. with flashing lights) is something that should be disseminated, since it often has traffic implications even if the reporter can't yet tell what the incident is. If nothing else, it causes people to slow down to see what it is.
> But, yeah, expensive purpose-built race cars have little in common with road cars

I wouldn't say little.

Many F1 technologies have made it into production road cars and the future of the sport will see this technology sharing increase. That's why there was the big engine change last year. And it wouldn't surprise me if their split turbocharger design that was responsible for Mercedes success makes it into their road cars.
This is also my understanding of how these requirements come about. You have someone you want to hire, but you need to go through the pretence of trying and failing to hire.
Enjoy them. A lot.

Figure out how / when / where you're going to release them, and work towards that moment.
At Hacker News, Paywall is a Dirty Word

A static version of a similar idea is the documentation system used @ ifixit, https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Canon+PowerShot+A75+Motherboard... which they spun off into a standalone product, http://www.dozuki.com/
They fought to physically control territory and claim land... an idea that is seen as quaint and naive today.

Well, count me among the quaintly naive then. We must read from very different news sources.
In Oakland? That seems about right, considering it's a 2 bedroom, a comparable spot in SF would be closer to $6 or $7k.

Out of curiosity do you know the folks living their now? I'm always curious to hear who these people that are making enough money to justify a $4k rent payment.

The Bay Area never ceases to amaze me. The rent prices are so crazy yet the pay increase is negligible.
HSTS can only change the protocol, while HTTPS everywhere can do more complex rewritings. So what you propose could only work in a very limited set of use cases among those handled by the plugin.
And the real damage was to our rule of law. That was already accomplished when the supposed President directed a mob against congress.

The actual level of violence done by the mob is relatively tame. Shooting a bunch of people in the halls of Congress isn't going to stop the damage to the rule of law. And it would have what? Prevented a few laptops from being stolen, a couple doors from being broken down, etc. It's not like they torched the place.

I personally don't think violence by a mob is acceptable. But it seems most people do--as long as they are sympathetic to the cause.
I assume the downvotes means my intended sarcasm didn't come through. To be clear, I hope everyone involved in the terroristic insurrection is prosecuted fully.

We know that the government typically uses cybersecurity charges to attack cyber-libertarians, threatening decades of prison time (think Aaron Swartz) - I hope they show the same vigor here.
For next time... You could have also used the time to:
A. Network your face off while in SF. Set up meetings with everybody you can. Investors if you're trying to raise. Other startups, hackers, etc.
B. Take a short vacation. I'm sure you deserve it.
Great post. You summarily rebut every single argument against immigration made regularly in Hacker News threads on immigration.

You cite a great article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/05/06/i...

From one of the research papers cited in the article [1]:

"We find that H-1B-driven increases in STEM workers in a city were associated with significant increases in wages paid to both STEM and non-STEM college-educated natives. Non-college educated show no significant wage or employment effect."

Since when is reading solely about learning and progress? Where is there room for fiction in this information-consumption view of the literary world?
The opposite of "Deep Work". Great for getting stuff done; but a poor substitute for understanding. Good for practitioners not researchers.

Because a working but incorrect mental model is a terrifyingly insidious, almost impenetrable barrier to actual understanding.
You are welcome to join the debate!

Scientific development proceeds building on previous results

as is the case here as shown by references in articles.
When I was in middle school I was sure I had cracked the meaning behind 42. I sent Douglas Adams a letter telling him how much I appreciated the books and laying out in detail how the alphanumeric values of each major character's name related to 42.

He wrote back an exceedingly kind hand-written postcard informing me that he appreciated my curiosity but that there was, in fact, no deeper meaning to 42 other than it was a nice-sounding number.
What are DMC threads? I tried to read the article, but without knowing that I don’t really get anything.
PFAS is going to be the asbestos of our generation, except it won't be so easy to get rid of this time around. It's more like the asbestos of every future generation until we find a way to reliably break it down.
again, simply saying thats true for “any risk” and turning your brain off is just negligent
it is a defensible position though, with countless examples. In the real world, mind share determines the fate of technology.

As the simplest example, take the monopoly of IE6 which was reinforced by web site makers who did not interoperate with other browsers because they expected the majority to use IE.
We have a similar system in the Netherlands named DigiD. I prefer this system over the Swedish one as it's run by a government agency (rather than any bank) and it's only accessible to governmental or semi-governmental (e.g. pension, healthcare) agencies.

I contacted their support and they said it was for security purposes. Hah...
The very fact that thinkers of the Renaissance thought that is itself a form of whitewashing. The very books that sparked the Renaissance were kept alive by the Islamic empires. The Renaissance thinkers, in order to advance their Christianity, wanted to ignore the Islamic contributions to their culture. In certain cases, like the Mozarabs and the Moors, Islamic architecture and customs deeply influenced what later became Catholic states. While the OP may be overly forceful, the repudiation of Islamic empires from the Middle Ages onward is a massive disservice to history. Let's not forget that the Ottomans were on the German side of WWI, the same state that traced its lineage through the Byzantines back to the ancient Islamic caliphates themselves.
The significance of the project is that there isn't much difference, and the smoothness is largely attributed to driver effort.
LinkedIn is useful to network with recruiters and have yourself be 'available' in the job market - basically a phone directory for resumes. But I definitely do not care for its news feed or other social features, which are simply either marketing/advertising posts or political posts these days. It has become especially bad with the overt injection of progressive politics into many companies' practices in this last year, particularly their outward-facing public relations, all of which is leaking into LinkedIn and turning it into Facebook or Twitter.

A company deemed "bad" can still produce good free software. As long as it is opensource with a free software license, I don't really care who wrote it personally. That's the point of free software. I'm not a fan of Google yet will still use Go or Minikube.
Yeah, I think you’re right in that I’ve come across as _too_ dismissive.

I’m sure many people do find meaning at Amazon etc on specific projects, I just think it’s extremely unlikely that _most_ of their employees will; in large corporations there are few cutting edge robotics jobs etc and lots of jobs that don’t really have a purpose outside of serving the corporation. I guess I’m talking about the majority.
Maybe we could convert cars to maglev, that go super fast floating above roads and pedestrians but cars follow 'tracks' and convert to normal street when nearing destinations. Truckers could have 'ports' that maglevs hook up to so trucking and commercial vehicles wouldn't need drivers to 'take over' in local environs.
The fine article. In the same way that rtfm means “read the fine manual”.

At least, that’s the sfw version.
There's already an experimental OS that is built on idea of persistent program memory: http://phantomos.org/
Qualcomm is like this. Their developer workstations are ultra locked down. If you so much as plug in a flash drive, alarms will start going off. If you email them a file, any attachments are instantly quarentined.

While I was there it was extremely difficult to transfer a log file from one of their workstations to my laptop for analysis during a debug session. It was also extremely difficult getting new builds into the setup since there was no easy way to get the binary file into their workstations.
I don't care about their usernames. Just their content.

There's a nice "jump to section" UI at the top. But you're right, there's no article list.

But there's no article list in a real newspaper either. Although it has better browseability.
That may or may not be true, but it doesn't mean that it's not their goal.

Here in the UK the Army's advertising is all about people who joined up and learned skills. I think the current one is about a girl who joined the Royal Signals and 8 years later she's an expert in "telecommunications" (it's an ad, so they're no more specific than that). By contrast the Royal Marines advertising is simple: "99% need not apply".
competitors from the same street or at least competitors from the same industry have such terminals.

Same street or same industry doesn't mean focusing on the same clients. If most of your clients come for milk, bread & butter, it doesn't make sense to install hardware just because 2 dudes want to pay card for a pack of cigs.

I have 2 shops like that near me and both run well. The one which has more products and card payment obviously earns more and you can see that, but it doesn't mean that it's not a win-win situation, nor that the main reason of one's bigger success is the presence of a terminal.
can't you just install it by specifying the desired version in your gems manifest?
I think the downvotes are for the unsupported assertion that in 20-30 years we'll have magnets this strong in everyday devices. This seems unlikely, for various reasons.
