Ban Ki-moon, on visit to Iceland, says Snowden abused his access to information.
http://www.dv.is/frettir/2013/7/3/gagnryndi-snowden-fundi-med-utanrikismalanefnd/
Ban Ki-moon criticises Snowden at a meeting with the Icelandic foreign-affairs committee.

Pieces of the story:

"He said that his opinion is that Snowden is guilty of abuse and that that more access to information couldn't be abused like Snowden did."

Birgitta Jonsdottir asked for an explanation for those words to which Ban Ki-moon replied:

"More access can be good for the public, but sometimes bigger problems arise because of abuse by individuals."

It seems that Ban Ki-moon doesn't understand the case and/or is under orders from someone else.
Show HN: Functional data types for TypeScript development
https://www.npmjs.com/package/schtate
I would love some feedback on this library I'm making. I've dabbled in FP for years and my journey has led me to create this library.

As a front end dev, I see a lot of complexity in code bases as data is wrangled into various shapes before finally getting turned into ui elements. An API request gives you back a dumb object, and if you don't turn that object into something "smart", inevitably it becomes complicated, hence the ubiquity of state managers like Redux and it's ilk.

I've had great success in functionally modeling my data using the TS/JS class keyword, and I'm trying to make some of that power accessible to anyone who wants to use it. I believe that if you model your state properly, you can avoid the need for external state management completely in most cases.

I started with a Bool monad because it was simple, and a Maybe monad because most of the `if` statements I see in code are for checking whether data is present or not. I think the next item will be a queue or deque. Thanks for checking it out.
Poor trademark research in 2003 leads to iPodRip hearing from Steve Jobs.

Ask HN: Do you think Browsers need a volume control?
Now that there are more and more ways for video and audio to be used and abused (for advertising) via HTML5/flash, do you think its time for a global volume control and mute button in your browser?

Its highly frustrating when a flash ad starts playing music mixed into what I am listening to on iTunes!
Ask HN: Learning to code while out and about? (on an iPhone)
When I am out and about and I have some idle time, how could I use this to further my learning in python, html, css, javascript, sql, ruby, rails, etc?

Any apps or guides done specifically for this? The problem with just reading a programming ebook is that it generally requires writing out the code, so I have to bookmark pages and go back to those when at a computer, which doesn't work so well, so it would be better if there was just some stuff that was suited to doing while out.

Ask HN: Help me chose a name for my business
I've asked this already..but I usually make these in the middle of the night due to the timezones so it gets buried.

I'm starting a small business/ The business is mainly an automotive parts distributor to mechanics, not regular retail people. I'm selling fluids, oil, and things like that.Think less actual physical automotive "hardware" and more of stuff like oil filters and sparkplugs and brake fluids.

What are things I should consider when creating a small business? It's a huge project and I'm starting very very small. I pretty much just sell stuff to mechanics, I will try to increase revenue if I'm successful with making connections.

Can you recommend me a name for my business? I'm thinking something like, _____ Auto supplies but I have no idea what to name it. All the names I've come up with are generic.

Any other tips would be highly appreciated, thanks HN!

Adapting an Interface for Touch Devices

The talk of late when it comes to adapting a web application for a mobile platform has been all about CSS media queries or server-side detection. But, as Tim shows, those two techniques alone are insufficient to account for the full range of devices out there, and their specific interface requirements.

Managing CoreOS with Ansible
https://coreos.com/blog/managing-coreos-with-ansible/
Hi,

Is this article relevant given toolbox - https://github.com/coreos/toolbox. As I understand it toolbox can provision Python to a host too e.g. toolbox --bind=/home:/home python "$@". This method would be preferred as toolbox is available out-of-the-box and avoids additional installs. I have attempted to use - https://github.com/tazjin/coreos-ansible as an example. However, I get complaints of the interpreter not being available.

A powerful, dynamic caching engine for Node.js
https://github.com/topcloud/cachemere
This is a server-side caching engine I wrote a little while back. I've kept it to myself for a while, but it's actually quite useful so I thought I'd share it here.

Basically it caches preprocessed and gzipped file content and reruns the preprocessing and gzip compression steps each time the underlying file is updated. You can specify custo m preprocessor functions for various files. Sowhen a client requests a cached file, it will instantly serve it the fully processed, compressed file. This is great for doing on-the-fly preprocessing like compiling less or sass stylesheets, adding preprocessing effects to images, etc...
Ask HN: How can people use N95 masks effectively?
We can’t rely on CDC at this time given they are still trying to get their act together along with the fed govt. Their advice is often conflicting and/or confusing. Eg: ordinary people should not use n95 masks. But medical professionals should. I understand we have in short supply but it’s confusing to say it helps in one place but not another.

Any health professionals on HN can provide objective thoughts. We know we can’t rely on this govt.

If one has access to these masks. What’s the proper way to use them?

1. should they be worn only when one goes out?
2. how much can they be reused? Days? Weeks? Indefinitely?
3. what are the benefits of using regular (non n95 masks) I one dosnt have the n95 masks? Is it still better than no mask when doing groceries?
What subdomain of IT have you found the most interesting to learn?

Show HN: PyPI package for using Testing Library queries in Selenium code
https://pypi.org/project/selenium-testing-library/
Hello!

I have built a small Python package that allows you to call Testing Library DOM queries such as `getByRole` or `findAllByText` from Selenium code.

My goal was to allow automation engineers to write Selenium tests that closely resemble how your web pages are used. In other words less XPath selectors and more queries that are accessible to everyone! Since this is one of the guiding principles of the Testing Library[0] it felt valuable to make it available in Python land as well.

Let me know what you think!

Relay is Way More Fun than SnapChat
http://relay.im
http://relay.im is one of my favorite mobile apps and it is, in my honest opinion, more entertaining than SnapChat. I'm constantly using Relay and there is something magical about being able to instantly send a related GIF reaction to your friends. Every new GIF that pops up sends me head over heels. What is so powerful about this app is that it provides daily content, new GIFs, for users to enjoy. This makes it incredibly sticky as well as being able to share newly discovered GIFs to friends. It's the newest way to communicate because very often text by itself can be misinterpreted. GIFs prevent that miscommunication by relaying personalized GIF reactions.

SnapChat has just become a dump of unwanted snaps. My thumb has better things to do than press and hold down to see food pics.

group meeting
As a developer for a distributed team, we meet together once a year. We are managed by dysfunction. Our managers are a frightened, defensive lot. This meeting will be a week long effort in biting tongues, and laying low, certainly avoiding the call to action: What should we talk about?

What advice do you have on how we startup-minded, get-stuff-done types should purport ourselves amongst the iron grip of the "old club" management? Quitting, and finding new work is not the answer, unfortunately. The fact is, the day to day, while working remotely, is bearable. But the thought of coming together, spending 8 hours together, then going to dinners, and events is nauseating. Any survival advice will be appreciated. Funnier the better.

Our team lead is a recently appointed developer by management alone, with no team by-in, disliked as a bully, just like the management, and yet if we complain, we are the ones that will suffer. So, clever comments and techniques are needed.

Thanks
Haiku OS Alpha 3 released
http://haiku-os.org/get-haiku/release-notes
New Features

This is a glimpse into some of the more notable improvements and additions to Haiku, since the previous release, R1 Alpha 2. It should be noted that over 950 bugs closed as fixed since R1 Alpha 2. Additionally, more than 250 subtle bugs have been fixed, which were discovered by Coverity.

Improved read (and write support) for various file systems, which includes btrfs, exFAT, ext2, ext3, ext4, NTFS, UDF, and others.
Various enhancements for hardware support, such as IO-APIC, ACPI, video drivers, network drivers and USB.
Gutenprint is utilized to provide additional printer support.
Partial fallback for displaying unsupported glyphs of any font. For example some Japanese and Chinese characters will now display.
MediaKit's support for decoding and encoding file formats has been improved.
Addition of a general MIDI SoundFont by Tim Brechbill which enables support for many BeOS MIDI applications.
New IMAP implementation. Mails are now synchronized with the server and not just downloaded like in POP3.
The mail daemon replacement (MDR) and parts of the Mail Kit have been rewritten. MDR crashes are fixed now.
Integration of StackAndTile, which was originally pioneered by the University of Auckland (available via setdecor SATDecorator).
Additional window management controls for moving and resizing windows (CTRL + CMD + first mouse button and CTRL + CMD + second mouse button).
Update of the secondary and experimental compiler to GCC 4.4.4 (available via setgcc gcc4).
Support for weak symbols and symbol preemption in GCC 4.
The user interfaces of several programs have been overhauled and include BootManager, DiskUsage, MediaPlayer, ReadOnlyBootPrompt and ShowImage.
The locale support was extended and consolidated to use a single backend (ICU) for both Haiku's native and POSIX's locale API. The interface and reliability of the Locale and Time preflet were improved considerably.
More applications now use Haiku's Layout API, making their GUI's more resilient to font changes and localization. Furthermore, the layout API has continued to progress towards being stable and public. However, this API is not finalized: it may change at any time, so developers beware.
Support for PAE (Physical Address Extension) was implemented, so that physical memory beyond 4 GiB is used now.

Missing Features

Haiku does not yet support WPA encryption for wireless networking, only WEP encryption is supported.
Package management is still being developed and is not included in this release. For the time being, a temporary script is included to help install a small set software (available via installoptionalpackage).
USB keyboards attached to OHCI or to USB 2.0 hubs do not work in Kernel Debugging Land (KDL). They need to be connected to UHCI root ports to work in KDL. Also note that when entering the kernel debugger by means of a panic it is possible that the keyboard does not work. To work around this issue you can manually enter the kernel debugger once and leave it again to enable the USB keyboard.
