I recommend checking out 3M VHB tape. It's essentially an extremely strong, pressure-sensitive double-sided tape.

You can use it to affix (pretty much) anything to anything, without the mess and general annoyance associated with superglue--just put the VHB tape between two surfaces and squeeze them together until they stick.
This is a tough market to compete in. Unfortunately the pricing here isn't competitive with existing feature-full and mature services. For instance, updown.io will monitor 50 websites every 5 minutes for under the monthly price, and that includes uptime and certificate monitoring with email, slack, and SMS notifications.

To succeed it seems the product either needs to revise its pricing or add more features to justify the cost.
Any app without a framework ends up creating a framework of its own. Complexity isn't something to hand-wave away, but neither is the mess of include's and SQL injection risks that many "vanilla" apps become.

That makes sense. Your points are well taken. Also, in retrospect, I realize that my reply wasn't helpful for the discussion at hand.

No enforcement of any law is completely non-violent. That doesn't in any way excuse or justify killing or trying to kill to avoid enforcement.
After considering Lucene, I built my in house search engine.

Yeah, totally makes sense to write your own search engine instead.

Or you could use Lucene and have a tiny bit of code in front of it that tacks on "~" to query terms first and save yourself some time. Or spend a few minutes reading the Lucene docs and find out how to do what you'd like to do. I've had the misfortune of dealing with homegrown search engines...it was laughable to see all that work (requiring a bunch of heavy-duty servers, lots of development time) replaced with a Lucene index that took half a day to get up and running with much better performance+features on a tiny VPS.
I've done some amount of aviation, both civilian and military, and our training officers were always fond of reminding us that the history of most aviation guidelines could be traced back to a death or two. I think it's easy to forget, coming from a profession that is inherently experimental and forgiving, that some mistakes can only be made once.
Ridiculous in what sense? That it probably has nothing to do with it?

Yeah, this is likely. However looking at said picture (https://squareup.com/) I wouldn't say that there was necessarily something to it, but at least it's somewhat odd to use a card that is clearly a VISA from Chase. It wouldn't be very complicated to design an image that is clearly a credit card without putting other companies' logos.
Yeah, but you get it back when you go to the doctor.
Article doesn't really answer the question: how do you use a 1Gb/s internet link? My crappy Comcast connection can stream full-screen HD video from Netflix, and what more could a consumer reasonably want?

Not MBA-related, but for MBP machines you can use an OptiBay bracket to pull out the optical drive and replace it with an SSD or HD. Couple notes on that:

- The OptiBay is $80, but includes a USB enclosure for your SuperDrive to turn it into an external drive: http://www.mcetech.com/optibay/

- Cheap clone brackets are ~$20 on eBay, work just as well.

- The original HD bay includes a sudden motion sensor to park the heads on a drop. Ideal setup is to put an SSD in the optical bay and a HD in the internal.

- Battery life doesn't seem affected by two drives. I suspect cpu/video/display power significantly outweighs power from an SSD.

- The optical bay is 3 Gbps, the HD bay is 6 Gbps. Don't bother with the extra cost of new 6 Gbps SSDs if you put it in the optical position.

- If you do this on a new machine, do your boot camp install before you remove the drive. MacBook Pros have some kind of hard-wired device order that makes it impossible to install Windows from an external USB/FireWire optical drive.

I run a 250 GB SandForce SSD + 500 GB 7200rpm drive. SandForce does on-device garbage collection, which helps since OS X has no general-use TRIM support, and I do photo editing on the road so the faster HD is great.
At the Potsdam Conference (24 July) Truman told Stalin that the US would use nukes against Japan as a goad to get Stalin to enter the war against Japan.

It appears to have worked.
Wouldn’t MC just buy thousands of BitCoins then just keep track of how many they owe you and not actually interact with the block chain every time?
Bitcoin is a modern day example of what happens when you have a currency that has deflation instead of inflation at it's core.

It becomes actually more expensive to buy anything in the present, as a result, consumers stop purchasing, and as a result economic activity decreases.

DigitalGold is also non-sensical, because that is simply designed to track against inflation, to prevent the loss of today's buying power tomorrow because of inflation. But when something appreciates 10,000x it's not really a hedge against inflation anymore, but a different speculative instrument entirely.
Yes, especially Virus services.
Right, yeah, if you pretend how much AAPL appreciated matters to anyone, asset inflation counts. Otherwise, it's CPI, and [citation needed] if you want to posit otherwise.
A store of value protected from (and even a beneficiary of) government mismanagement, central bank mismanagement, corporate mismanagement, etc.

Because we are forced to generally keep our wealth in things susceptible to political influence it’s nice to have a place to store value away from that.

My homes value can be wrecked by a variety of government or central bank policies. Same with my equities and bonds. So having a part of your wealth in BTC is frugal as a protection from these things. It is outside the scope of these influences.
One thing I'd really like HN readers to understand is that UK newspapers, even supposedly respectable ones like the Telegraph, are FUCKING GARBAGE.

Please stop posting links to them because they're often inaccurate, sometimes deliberately so.
Somewhat related: Just yesterday the EU ePrivacy regulation took the first hurdle in Brussels. This will most likely bring some changes to the whole consent drama.

I'm not good at reading legalese and there seems to be no commentary for the current version[1] yet. What I understand is that they "encourage" browsers to implement "whitelists" (their choice of word, not mine) as a solution to "end-users [..] overloaded with requests to provide consent". I'm not sure there is an update regarding first-party analytics cookies which some hoped will be there.

but again, your concern then is efficiency, so let's look at efficiency metrics directly rather than the poor proxy that size is. that also neatly sidesteps the manipulative use of "big government" as a tool by politicians to deploy power against the common interest.
Giving doses to friends and family is a pretty bright ethical line. I don't think arresting him is the right call. But there shouldn't be much dispute that he acted wrongly here.

Give me a break.

The guy started work before dawn. The countdown started after 6 PM. He had 6 hours to find 10 eligible recipients that met the guidelines. Most that he found were strangers.

He gave the last dose to his wife after he had only found 9, and it was after midnight. It is easy to sit in an armchair and say that he should have found someone else. But how?
Same here, as previously learned on HN :)
How do you normally trust something?

PostgreSQL has 1257 source files [1], 1,250,000 lines of code [2], and ~400 authors [3].

So...however you'd normally audit that.

Probably look at the number of users, check for CVEs, and cross your fingers.

[1] find . -name '*.c' | wc -l

[2] find . -name '*.c' | xargs cat | wc -l

[3] git log | grep -o 'Author: \S\+ \S\+' | sort -u | wc -l
I recently read about GitLab’s solution ti this, and it was quite intriguing. They have a 3000 page employee handbook, with everything basically since the beginning. They intentionally subscribe to a Slack tier that does not allow them to keep messages for long, which forces them to put things in the handbook. And then I assume the first answer to any question is “look in the handbook”.

So basically, use some documentation that everyone can use, and make it painful not to use it.
We'll do, promised.
teeny tiny use case for general AI, yes.
It's pretty common to have one or two episodes of psychosis and then not again. Selection bias and all that. Anyone that doesn't have a severe chronic problem, you're not going to be aware of, but it's reasonable to assume there are more mild cases than severe cases of almost any condition. For that matter, it's a definitional issue - people can appear crazy temporarily for almost infinite reasons, and if it doesn't reoccur, even doctors aren't going to call it schizophrenia. You go into a hospital appearing to be stark raving mad, they are going to test you for drugs and call it "schizophreniform" if they can't find any.
i can answer for myself: it's really not sarcasm. In my personal experience, Phones suck at everything, really.

Glad you did post :)

This is going to be a brief ramble because it's late here in the UK, but I'm keen to respond because those are exactly what I'm looking into too.

Re: finding the appropriate display units, `convert-units` in particular has a method `toBest` which attempts to find the best-matching display unit for a quantity. The main problem is that it's unaware of culinary measurements (i.e. tsp as you mention, which could round up to tbsp, etc) at the moment.

I reckon that with a few additions to that project, and a few judicious extra test cases[0] to assert the right behaviour, it'd be possible to get it to perform smart display rounding on culinary measurements too.

Ideally those units would only be rendered by when a 'culinary unit system' is optionally enabled. That'd avoid any backwards-compatibility issues for the library -- and also because most users just want to see milliliters and liters by default I'd imagine.

As a slight aside, `pint` has nice support for alternative unit systems[1]. I'm planning to use `cgs` for storage of ingredient quantities since it's fine-grained.

Anyway - I'm probably thinking faster than a practical design, but if you have any interest, I'm probably going to look into extending `convert-units` for this use case a bit more. If it's possible to create a common library we could both use to ease some of the display work, I'd be really happy to collaborate.

I don't understand, are you mocking me or do we have a bonafide and well respected PhD of Philosophy with a track record in this comment thread?

If the former, I'm super disappointed but not surprised. It is no secret that anyone who remotely questions the criticism of Amazon is downvoted on this forum.

And I say that as someone who avoids spending a dollar out of protest against that company. I really find their practices terrible.

I would make the counter argument that I would rather have a language that _may_ be more prone to bugs and be able to easily hire engineers. Also, there’s a lot of hidden costs in over engineering something. Trying to get something to be bug free is like trying to add another 9 to five 9s of reliability, the cost is rarely justified.

This is reminiscent of Muslims seeing Allah (in Arabic script) written on everything or Catholics seeing Mary's image, etc.. Flip reverse the tables and these people would be being called wackos by the scientific press, very interesting new step in the religiosity of fundamentalist atheism IMO.

That said, it seems quite likely to be truly based on the anatomical image - I don't think the conclusion is obvious or follows without further assumptions though.

There's a nice juxtaposition here with the argument by design - surely those who would be most desirous of saying that the church commissioners were pwned would also be those who would have to say that an image of a brain could arise by chance and not be designed in at all ... ?
The thing is, I read articles like this with interest, but feel like a two-year old. I don't get it. My theory is that intelligence, math ability, etc. has nothing to do with it, your brain has to be wired in a certain way to understand the the varying grotesqueries of financial markets, to paraphrase the Architect.
Interesting. Here's a clearer image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lastjudgement.jpg
I'd like to be clever enough to emulate Cato the Elder, and come up with a short motto I could add to comments on all articles .NET related which encapsulates the following:

MicroSoft, good work with the .NET Framework, C#, F#, and LINQ, but if you want to keep Windows relevant, make all editions of Visual Studio free and open sourced. That includes the Professional, Tester, and Architect versions. It's not enough to offer "Express".

So maybe my motto should be "Open source Visual Studio!". (I sure hope I don't get down-voted or banned if I start doing this.)
Michelangelo believed in God, even if he had issues with the Catholic church. His meaning was probably the reverse - that man's mind was created by the voice of God.
Happy to help. Can you check if it works for you? Thanks :)
what major institution failed in the early stages of [1] the japan asset bubble or [2] the dot com bubble? Or farther back, the 1840s railroad mania or the south sea bubble?

credit bubbles often pop when some institution can't cover its obligations, but asset bubbles don't seem to need such a failure — and can deflate on their own.
It is authentic English usage. That is, the words are actually used that way, whether you like it or not.

Attempts to define "correct" usage that are not descriptivist are... arrogant. Elitist. Attempting to hold back the tide. And doomed to failure. We'll use the words how we please. If you don't like it, we'll ignore you.

This isn't science, where there are "correct" answers. There's no objectively correct definition of any word. Languages are defined by how they're used.

(Note well: I am not saying that anyone can make up any definition they want for a word. They can't. I'm saying that the speakers of a language, as a whole, define words by how they use them. You can't hold back that tide, no matter how much you wish to.)
The scene in the casino waiting room/bar where things start to drift from normal to absolutely crazy (reptiles and all the blood) and then snaps back to reality is a pretty accurate depiction of LSD

Edit: I’ll add that “snaps back to reality” happens if you’re lucky and somehow stay in control

Hah, yeah, the dropping of prepositions in around verbs has been alive in Yorkshire forever, where it's also common for articles too. And non-speakers often misrepresent the glottal stop which replaces the definite article in Yorkshire as a "t" or "tut" sound, but it's not there. It's not "goin tut pub", it's "goin - pub".

I did enjoy one finer point in the article though. I'm old, closing on 40, but I've only ever known "'llow it", not "allow it". There no "a" in 'llow it, man :D
Indian, here. And this article is dead right!

This trend is getting common even here in India. In fact its already everywhere. My father routinely points out to me how ridiculous it has gotten. Back in his day(He was a bus driver, now a cab driver), you would be called to clock overtime anytime a fellow driver was on leave, sick or just absent due to same reason. And they would get paid handsomely for it. In fact overtime pay was the whole thing behind 'Work hard, get rich'.

When I started my career in Software, and I would routinely do late nighters and weekends. He used to be surprised we were ready to do so much work for free. Ideally you could argue that a bus driver and a programmer have very different kinds of jobs, but then it the same vein programmers should get paid proportional to what impact their work has, but that doesn't happen either.

I think the employers are having the best time in history. Which so many people ready to so much work for free, what else could you ask for?

This privacy risk is actually documented in the official HSTS specification, section 16.9 of

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6797.txt

However, the spec doesn't propose a mitigation for it. I'm afraid many new security policy mechanisms can actually be used to track users or devices this way, because you can experiment to see whether the browser has heard about a particular security policy by observing its behavior when you ask it to violate the policy. If you tell different devices about different policies, their behavior will be different (as if you told different kids who were going to visit a park about different rules for how to behave in the park, and then observed who obeyed and who violated which rules as a way of identifying individual kids).

For example, you can also get tracking out of public key pinning, by selectively pinning certs for some subdomains and not others, and then seeing which subresources are successfully loaded when you present a huge number of pin violations. (I think that's also documented in the HPKP spec.)
Sure, I could write a book.

She presented with the most useless of symptoms: fatigue, caused by nearly every disease ever according to her specialists. She also had GI symptoms, but she's had those most of her life, though they got worse when the fatigue hit after child #4. GI specialist (and every other specialist) gave her a clean bill of health, not celiac disease or a known autoimmune disease, though she had a positive ANA.

Years into this, she went gluten free. That helped a bit. Then she went dairy and egg free. She saw a nutritionalist, and took out several other foods. More improvement, but still so fatigued that 3+ days a week she was out of commission.

She saw a naturopathic doctor who ran quantitative tests (stool and blood sample) and advised my wife to do what the tests indicated (food sensitivities and candida, another quack diagnosis according to traditional medicine). My wife continually got better over the next two months. Today, she's active in the family again with only the rare flare-up -- less than one day a week.
There are many ways to approach the stock market, the correct term should be financial markets. Most of the comments here are focusing on fundamental investing which has a very longterm view.......benjamin graham's book is a good starting point here. Since this is hacker news, i would recommend you focus on ignoring fundamental data and focus purely on statistical analyses, thereby using price, volume, econometrics on price data and probability theory to extract profits from the markets. Research what firms like renaissance technologies, d.e. shaw ect are doing. Edward thorpe also has some good some stuff, especially his stuff on blackjack. I would recommend reading some stuff on richard dennis, his methods are very trivial by today's standard's but it will make some light bells go off. Also the work of benoit mandelbrot, for me his work has made the biggest impact on me with regards to the way i approach the financial market.

Also don't limit yourself to the stock market, you should really look at derivatives across all markets especially exotics, there is so much inneficiency it is not even funny. If i could move money freely around internationally there is so much stuff i can do, but now with the patriot act and, it is hard to move money freely and quickly.
I have some paid apps that also offer in-app purchases so maybe a new flag that lets parents know which apps have in-app purchases? Or at least a way to reset the iTunes password on demand...
Can anyone suggest how to defend against these type of attacks?

Is it simply a case of rate limiting by IP? If so, anyone suggest an easy way of doing this (I assume limiting at the web server level is not good enough?)
I think of it as providing more options. When one doesn't get what they want, they are usually forced to look into other different options, which subsequently provides alternate futures that they possibly never predicted because they were so set on a future dependent on the 'something' that wasn't acquired.

That's a pretty good try, but that does not implement the full flexibility of prototypal OO. Also, note that I wasn't talking about statically-typed class-based OO specifically. Classical OO exists in plenty of dynamic languages too, so your comments about type systems are kind of out of place. I prefer static typing too (as long as it comes with inference and polymorphism), but that's orthogonal to the discussion at hand.
