Show HN: A free web app to create, explore and generate color palettes
https://solitarysoftware.itch.io/ultracolor
Hi, HN.

I was struggling to get a color palette right for a small game I was making in Unity and decided I'd throw together something that gave me a few dials to play with. Naturally, when the proof of concept worked I began expanding it and then some every time I wanted more independent control.

It was initially born of frustration of not being able to do certain basic things in Photoshop, like invert HSV values independently. And if they were possible they were usually cumbersome.

Anyway, It's done it's job for me for now. So given that color related content seems to be popular here - and I've never contributed a piece of software to the world - I thought I'd upload it to the web "as is" for free and perhaps someone else might find it useful. Any feedback is appreciated and if there is enough demand I might continue working on.

Thanks for your time.

Chinese tech-team releases low-cost hand-recognition system
http://youtu.be/3R4qDD0aBPw
An independent research team from China, SharpNow, has released a demo video on Youtube, revealing their hand recognition technique, which could potentially lead to a low-cost solution for desktop 3D input.
The recognition system is composed of three regular CCD cameras, each of which is surrounded by inferred LED lights. The video presents that their technique can support around 10 types of hand gestures, and accurately track the location of multiple finger tips. As the demo goes, there is no obvious response lag. This is only a debut show, the group says, it still has a good prospects for further optimization.

Ask HN: What do you use for benchmarking?
My worst nightmare is coming up with something cool, getting people to notice it, then having it cave under the stress of all of the traffic. What do you all use for benchmarking, and what do you consider a "good" score?

I've been using ab (apache benchmark) for a few years, but haven't ever really known what I should consider a good response time.

I just ran it against my latest project, and did:

ab -kc 50 -t 60 http://thingist.com/

and ended up seeing an average response time of 2000ms

Which is certainly much higher than I would ever want under normal conditions (although the site stayed up, and I was able to post while the test was running).

Things like:

ab -n 100 -c 10 http://thingist.com/

usually clocks in at around 300ms

What do you use? How do you know if you're doing well?

New Technology: Dynamic Resizing of Images
http://ajaxian.com/archives/new-technology-dynamic-resizing-of-images
The article goes on to say 'Well, it looks like Michael may have gotten his wish as Adobe has hired co-inventor Shai Avidan to their team.' As such, it looks like this promising technology will be integrated into a proprietary application/technology published by Adobe. I think it would be interesting to have this technology in the HTML 5 spec. <img src="image.png" dynamicresize="vertical|horizontal|both"/> This is, of course, assuming it could be done in-browser and doesn't take a ton of processing power to do. Have there been any attempts to include more innovative technologies, such as this, in a W3C recommendation for something as broad as HTML?

Webapp scalability
http://www.odi.ch/weblog/posting.php?posting=539
While researching about the scalability of the Wicket framework, I came across what seems like a widespread myth.

Sad, that this just slightly misses the point.
Samsung's Knox should have Apple worried about the enterprise
http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/samsungs-knox-should-have-apple-worried-about-enterprise
By applying secure technology to its flagship Android devices, Samsung just made its devices more appealing to the enterprise.

Samsung’s Knox, the secure enterprise enhancements to its Android devices, is not unique, but it is brilliant nevertheless. Market dominance, control over mobile hardware, and Android’s open source model made this a straightforward development for Samsung that should pay dividends. It could even create a contagion of secure Android products from other Android device manufacturers.

Ask HN: Best way to make a hardened Tor exit node?
I find myself lucky enough to have an abundance of bandwidth available at my home. Rather than let that potential go to waste, I would like to set up a Tor exit node. I have already contacted my ISP and they are fine with me running it as long as I'm willing to deal with the hate mail.

My question is, what would be the best platform for running a hardened exit node? Here's my thought process: an exit node would paint a pretty big target on my systems and I want to ensure the security of anyone wanting to utilize that exit. I want this segregated from my home network, and have found out that I can set up a switch to get a separate IP address from my ISP.

I was thinking ideally this would be run from a dedicated device (was hoping for something like a Novena but I currently lack the funds). Since I'm going for a hardened system, my first instinct is to go for OpenBSD as the base system.

If you were looking to do something like this, what hardware would you use? Would you go with OpenBSD or a different OS?

Scientists and Engineers for America 
http://www.sefora.org/
Issues of science and technology policy are seldom vigorously debated, and our elected officials are not being held accountable for the actions they take in these areas. As a result, elected officials' positions on science and technology issues do not get the attention and energy from policymakers that they deserve.

SEA has developed a system through which elected officials' positions on these and other important science policy issues can be easily tracked and presented.This is a first of its kind organizing tool that engages citizens in science and technology issues and helps them hold their elected officials accountable.

By bringing these elements together and allowing users to contribute information to the site, SEA will enable the electorate to more fully evaluate their elected representatives, allow individual members to share information on elected officials, and ultimately provide a forum for elected officials to communicate with their constituents on their science policy positions.

Geoffrey West on the Creative Process (quote)
From the book Scale:

"As is often the case when moving into uncharted territory and trying to develop new ideas and ways of looking at a problem, the final product seems so obvious once the discovery or breakthrough has been made. It's hard to believe that it took so long, and one wonders why it couldn't have been done in just a few days. The frustrations and the inefficiencies, the blind alleys, and the occasional eureka moments are all part and parcel of the creative process. There seems to be a natural gestation period, and this is simply the nature of the beast. However, once the problem comes into focus and it's been solved it is extremely satisfying and enormously exciting."
