Pssht, that is sooo 2009. The latest thing is wearing your Apple Watch in a secure space: the watch is confiscated and destroyed and you're lucky if you're not fired.
Since watching CITIZENFOUR I've always wondered, why would they bother destroying their laptops, since it is so easy to make and conceal a copy of those documents.

Hey,
Vasyl is here, founder of Pitch Deck template. Over the last 3 years I have helped more than 30 startups to get “Visual Power” for their investor decks. During my work I have noticed that because of “money saving mode”, most founders / startup team can’t afford great graphic designers. They’re looking for graphic work help on their pitch deck with a maximum budget of $150, while professional designer will charge $400-$500 for work on 10-15 pitch deck. That’s why I created Pitch Deck - a presentation template that helps founders to create a visually impressive and effective pitch deck quickly and easily. Template has up to 5 different slide layouts in each of the following categories: Title, Problem, Solution, Product, Market, Competition, Traction, Business Model, Acquisition, Milestones, Team, Financials, The Ask and Contact. Tool is fully and easily editable. To create your own pitch deck all you need to do is: 1) have content, 2) PowerPoint on your computer with a basic knowledge of using it. Price for Regular Template is $29, and we will charge $49 if you want to get template with your own color palette. All options include free lifetime updates. We are also offering unique Custom Work for your pitch deck.

This is my first entrepreneurial attempt and I would really appreciate any feedback from you, guys. First 20 people can get our Regular or Custom template for FREE by using the following code: 644601f7f6. To all other folks from HN community we provide 30% off discount with code “HN30".

Its interesting.

Would I buy this, no, probably not, and I am in your target market.

Does that mean no one will buy this? Well there are a lot of start ups out there, and its cheep as chips (one time cost) so someone is going to give you some money.

Do I think you can recover costs on building and then marketing this, maybe.

If this is a side project, and your doing this as something low key or for extra cash its probably going to keep you in beer at LEAST.

I have to ask, is it your intent to make this one part of a more robust offering for folks at the early stage? If it is going to be part of a "larger offering" then by all means you should pursue that. A basket of 10 tools would give you more appeal and make it easier to market.
I've advertised on Twitter before and their engagement metrics are curious and a bit dishonest.

They measure any click on a tweet's body (not a hyperlink) as an engagement; where as an advertiser I define engagement as a favorite, retweet or reply.
Even among cards that generally use the mid market rate, the time they set the rate and their source will often differ, resulting in the differences mentioned in the OP. So if you feel it's worth your time, and if you can get up to date rates, you can still save a bit by using the card with the best rate on a given day.
Its a BLAS library standard API that you are linking to, so the vendor doesn't matter so much (in theory). In practice, the amount of annoyance that you have to go through so that it links correctly can vary a lot. Even MKL did not implement all of BLAS / Lapack and that would lead to some linking errors.

Re GCC, the same here. ICC is mighty expensive.
Adobe Photoshop CS2 Serial Numbers Plus Keygen Full
A good read
Without real-time rates available from multiple networks, this relies on that back-tested effect that the card with the better rate tends to persist for several days; is there a reason to be confident that will continue? Not that there's much risk if it doesn't, but you could well just be wasting your time.
arguably it's kinda uncool to tell you what questions are going to be asked.

Ask HN: Why are we still not encrypting email?
Was it enough for the webmail providers to claim outrage and encrypt internally then act as if we're all safe now, if only we use their service?

If they cared about privacy they'd be helping users to encrypt all email to any recipient.

If we cared about privacy we'd be helping the world to encrypt simply, via an open protocol that was actually usable. The EFF's efforts to push GPG/PGP are falling on deaf ears.

Would it be possible to change the protocols themselves to force TLS and potentially inline GPG functionality?

Let's keep talking and thinking about this. It's quite important, no?

I imagine this sentiment is going to be very unpopular here, but as a parent of a ten-year-old, I find this kind of fetishizing of the accomplishments of ten-year-olds to be disturbing. I think it's great that Carmack's son has taken an interest in programming at such a young age, but why need this be so public? Not only does this do his son a disservice (who, despite his precociousness, is not old enough to understand how cruel the internet can be -- or how long its memory), it also does other children a disservice by implicitly encouraging absurdly aspirational parenting. Witness this comment, found in this HN discussion:

I am so jealous when I hear these damn stories. Another 5 or more years to go. Does anyone have a book about the method they develop? I bet that, following it to the T or not, it would sell here with the HN crowd.

It's great to inspire your kids to program (computational thinking is literacy, after all), but it's deeply misguided to believe that normal ten-year-olds exhibit the kind of intense interest that Carmack's son seems to display here -- and indeed, believing that a "method" can yield this kind of interest in a child can result in the kind of paternal (or maternal) disappointment that does lasting emotional harm.

Good on Carmack's son for showing such interest and talent, but let's encourage that to be fostered relatively privately -- and thereby allow him to be what he is first and foremost: a ten-year-old kid.
thanks, I'll contact my developer to fix it!
The UI does obscures the best of plan9. There are defenders of it. But, if we assume that the goal of Plan9 was to obsolete unix with something better by the late 90s, the UI is a big part of the failure. It scared people users.

Your alternative doesn't work. Qt in particular is a platform that goes out of its way to obscure the underlying platform. You could probably use GTK in a 9er way. Still, it wouldn't make sense for applications - the apps written on GTK for unix or windows don't stick close to the everything-is-a-file approach. They are monolithic and beige.

Winning users to Plan9 is particularly difficult because part of the vision is about creating a network, rather than a computer. From this, it follows that it doesn't make sense to have sshd run on it. I think the community made a mistake here. If they'd offered a sshd entrypoint, it would have offered a path-to-adoption for new users coming from a unix background. On the path they've taken, there's a high barrier to entry to anyone wanting to do work with it in a non-pure way. If it had ssh, you could sneak it into enterprise. That's not practical for plan9 in its its current form.

Nice trick, though not that practical.

1% of oversee spending may be to little benefit for the cost:
1. Get more than one card with zero foreign transaction fees. Make sure you won't get charged yearly fee on those.

2. On every transaction, check the rate on smarthphone. Oh, you want to buy $3 coffee, let me check my rate to see if I can save $0.03.

3. More cards is more monitoring hassle. Harder to track, more hassle if they get stolen and you need to block them all. Also payback program tracking is much harder.

4. Same with fees and interests. More card is more likely that you miss some payments and get charged interests/overdraft. One incident and you whole savings can go away. Even with autopayment you need to make sure you balance your accounts.
Very cool. Note that my C# version is fixed to use 128 segments based on George Marsaglia's original calculations; Calculating them dynamically for a given PDF is an impressive achievement indeed. E.g. I did wonder if there was a more optimal number of segments, and of course yours isn't limited to the Gaussian.
It was pretty much the focal point and poster child for open source (even before open source was picked up as the phrase to describe the movement). back then it was everybody versus microsoft.

So we are hearing about lot of 6-8 year old writing code. I'm trying to figure out what is normal and what are edge cases. I'm wondering...

Haskell has similar whitespace rules to Python, and no one ever complains about them.

(Haskell does support {} and ; for those in need, though. Also, it has lots of other stuff for people to complain about first.)
So basically you're selling $25 copies of a powerpoint file?
Yeh, I think there are probably a few different ways you could 'slice' up the body of the pdff. E.g. I mention using sloped ends to the segments to reduce the amount of pdf area outside of the segments, which would reduce the expensive path by a lot, but it also introduces a division into the fast path. Then again, that division is by a fixed value, so really it's a multiplication (by 1/x), so it might actually be a pretty good solution.

It would be interesting to explore these options further.
Reading this page, it sounds very cool. It also sounds like it's heavily inspired by Swift Playgrounds, including using SpriteKit as an example.

I am a bit baffled as to why it says the Haskell code can't initiate network connections. Yeah the app is sandboxed, but sandboxed apps can easily request network access. And it seems like that's a common-enough thing to want that it should support it.
Awesome! I wrote something related: http://datascienceatthecommandline.com

But this is just a template=) Slide layouts designed to provide only a direction for using an appropriate content.
I think the webmail (gmail / msn / yahoo) made email encryption so much harder than it was when everyone used their own email clients. You need to install an extension which will talk to your gpg and pray that formatting / line wrapping doesn't break the content. It's even harder with signing only. (encryption will at least result in consistent/short lines) Even in outlook you can simply import your pkcs12 and click sign/encrypt and it's done.

On the other hand, keybase did something nobody else managed before. A number of my friends who never used encryption before actually have their own gpg keys. They may not be using them yet, but the keys are there (and probably in their system keychains) - that's a great first step.

What I think would really push things forwards at this point is an official google extension for chrome/ff/ie which allows gmail to talk to local gpg for signature/encryption. No messing around with textboxes - have it interact with the content as gmail sees it. Of course it would have to be opensource so people can verify it doesn't change the contents... And it should never touch the actual keys.
Awesome seeing someone use the reddit dataset :)!

Can someone who knows more about Haskell explain to me what the hell I'm getting for 25 bucks here? Cant I replicate all of the features it has with off the shelf tools/editors that are free?

Basically I'm selling template with different slide layouts that could be easily customized for user needs. Template, by default, is a "copy", yes.
This isn't domain squatting.

Squatting is a 'bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else'. That's the legal definition. But they had the domain, they put it to active use for a legitimate purpose. It's no longer in active use. But they had no idea that you would want it. There's no bad faith.

There's also a looser definition that squatting has 'the primary goal being to prevent others from buying it, and the secondary goal being, in many cases, to profit from it.' But this loose goal has a problem - you are in stealth mode. Your own goal is to 'prevent others from buying it' until you leave stealth.

Plus, you do know that they aren't willing to sell, which means they aren't trying to make a profit.

Thus, this isn't domain squatting. This is 'someone has a domain that you want, but got to it first.'

You believe that a domain has to 'create value'? That's not a requirement, nor even a moral obligation. People also acquire a domain with the hope of creating a web site, only to find a few years later they never had the time for it. Or they had a company, the company went under, but they have the domain still because of the hope to start again.

Or, you know, some people have a domain name for email purposes, but don't have a web site.

Grad school is a bit like that, i think. Especially the bit where your whole identity is constructed around the success of your project resonates with me. That's a trap that can make it very hard to not get depressed when the going is tough — and of course it's going to be. Bottom line, i think the second to last paragraph offers some very common sense, down-to-earth, and actionable advice.

« When we gather our identity from many sources we create a more diversified sense of esteem. We can fail or stumble at one thing and still derive esteem from something else. I can face a challenge in building a new startup, but still redeem esteem from my identity as a writer, musician, hiker, family member. »

You obviously get the convenience of NOT having to replicate all these, and the guaranteed experience of those parts working together as soon as you install it, and with a nice GUI at that.

As someone who's now shipped 2 hardware KickStarters on time (both of which were bigger than KoalaSafe), I find it a frustrating when people post up 'hardware KickStarters never ship'. It's just not true.

It's definitely 'buyer beware', and if you back a KickStarter that shows loads of renderings and no working finished product then you may hit trouble - but many people come to KickStarter with a working product, having already done their homework and made arrangements with a manufacturer. Those people will almost certainly ship, and it's a shame that other failed KickStarter projects make them look less legitimate.

But I totally agree with polar8 on this...

1. Design with the factory has been true for me. I did one KS in China, one in the UK - and the factories work totally differently. The time it takes to get things arranged is insane, and you absolutely need to not only have a manufacturer, but to have a design that they're happy with and can source parts for before you KickStart if you plan to ship on time (even if you plan on tweaking the design a bit later).

2. Sourcing - When you order 1000s of something, suddenly lead times matter. Generally you can't just go to Farnell and get things next-day, if they're not in stock, 13 week lead times are not uncommon - and a company can have 4000 items in stock one day, and they'll be gone the next (so checking stock levels is not enough!).

3. Features - definitely be sensible. Listen to your backers but be very careful about adding their suggestions. Changes really set you back, and the most vocal backers views are almost certainly not those of the majority. Adding features in software after the ship date is easy and people like it, but delaying the ship date for features would rarely be appreciated.

4. Margins. I think people feel bad about adding a big margin, but you've got to. There are loads of hidden costs, and most backers would prefer to pay a bit extra and have you still making and supporting devices 2 years from now.
They aren't that well trained either. And most well trained people will never clean and jerk 300+lbs. Even if every single kid who tried a 300lbs+ clean and jerk died from it on the spot, that still wouldn't make enough of a dent to make lifting a high risk sport.

The thing worth keeping in mind that people forget when questioning whether kids should lift, is that kids lift, or try to lift large percentages of their body weight to failure all the time during normal play. They have a training capacity and recovery ability that makes me insanely jealous as someone who's turned 40.

If lifting the weights they are physically able to is dangerous for them, then so is a lot of their regular playing.
