Tell HN: Get your app classified before Show HN
Just a suggestion for people with new web apps or sites that they want to put in a Show HN.

If they are targetting the corporate market they may want to get the app classified by Blue Coat at: http://sitereview.bluecoat.com/sitereview.jsp first.

This will make it easier for people in corporates with locked down browsing to see their work. At a lot of places, uncategorised sites are routinely blocked. Similar web-blocking sites from other providers probably exist as well.
How do you sell? Face to face? Phone? Word of mouth?
Looks very useful. Is it only twitter and Facebook? Had a guy from Google tell us we should maintain our Google+ page for better search ranking but I really can't bothered, since nobody views it.

Can it maintain picture galleries across accounts?

What makes it UK specific?
Copper hexacyanoferrate batteries are supposed to last at least 40,000 times (compared to what the study on this I read awhile back quoted as Li-ion as 400), yet have the energy density of li-ion.

They just haven't produced a commercializable version of the technology yet.
Considering the propension of the Iraqi military to run away when faced with ill-equipped, outnumbered opponents, I can't blame the contractor.

Hah! I found those two surprisingly palatable considering how freaking strong they are. The bar I was in served them in shot glasses...
1) It does LinkedIn too - I can add Google+ if a customer requests it though - fire me an email if you're interested (in my profile)?

2) Yes, when you include a picture in the status update it goes across accounts.

3) It's UK specific purely because of my location and the high touch sales process I have at the moment - there isn't anything stopping the product working in any timezone.

Not just way back; HN uses continuations. (Not in many user-visible places any more, but every link on the front page used to be one—expired "next page" continuation links were a frequent source of grumbling.)

Note that you don't have to expire continuations, necessarily—you could actually persist them statelessly (i.e. without server-side state), by shipping their encoded representations to the client embedded into HMAC-signed links. You're basically giving the server a raw bytecode-eval endpoint, and then making sure that it only accepts code you yourself wrote. Kind of a crazy strategy compared to the standard predeclared REST API, but interestingly flexible.

> A refrigerator sized VRB in the attic of a house would work, but that is a dealbreaker for some/most people.

Even a refrigerator-sized VRB doesn't store that much energy, that's ~650 liters so about 40MJ, under 1.5L worth of fuel. And more importantly it weights half a tonne and (assuming it has the same shape as a standard fridge) has an area density of ~1.5t/m^2.
> ...the Linux version of Unix for free ...

I don't usually nitpick about this, but I felt that this was really poor phrasing. If they want to discuss the evolution of "open source", it's just not ok to be so hand-wavy, and before getting to Linux, they should mention GNU and the GPL.
It's a really strange question, OP. How do you expect an answer when there's so many variables involved?

I could get 100 visitors over five months, convert 2 of them and earn a $250 commission on each purchase. Giving me a profit of ~ $480... all I paid for is the domain.

Or I could get 10,000 visitors over the span of a few days and I end up making just $5 off of cost-per-action ads. Or $1 from adsense.
The double dot suggestion is a knee jerk reaction without any thinking put into it. And this is a non starter as ipv6 is an established and widely deployed standard for 10+ years, ranting about it could have been done differently will achieve nothing apart impacting the author reputation.

According to your last link, they actually began building a second dam further downstream in the 90s:

> A second structure, the Badush dam, was started 20km downstream, to prevent a catastrophe in the event of the Mosul dam’s failure. But work on Badush halted in the 1990s because of the pressure of sanctions, leaving it only 40% complete.

Ok, thank you for the reply. Is there some more documentation on building "complicated" packages somewhere?

Eg. for darktable, one needs libgtk+ and intltool -- as well as a xslt library -- perhaps there's a quick way to leverage what's already done for Arch[1] when attempting to build on windows?

Note, I'm not necessarily expecting such a build to work perfectly -- but if one could at least get to the point where any build-failures where in the darktable source, not from missing essential dependencies -- that'd be a start :-)

> The software built from the recipes here: (...)

So, if I understand correctly, one installs msys2 from the exe-installer, then updates the system with pacman -- and installs packages one wants from the ones in mingw-packages... and then those packages/binaries should/can be added to the normal windows path?

And that last bit one has to do manually? (Lets say I just want grep.exe and sed.exe in my path for example)?

So you're behind a NAT for ipv4 for so long that you have forgotten that your computer is supposed to have a public IP address.

If you are a dissident or even a citizen concerned about privacy, you'd better be a part of the solution and not the problem as you are now by refusing to deal with ipv6.

Flywheels target a bit of a different problem than many other energy storage solutions. They are only able to store energy for very short periods. This is valuable to counter short term changes in the power generation, but it won't help you to store solar power for longer dark periods.

Wikipedia has some info about existing installations:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel_storage_power_system
tl;dr Only a few of them exist, they haven't been installed in large quantities yet.
I'm confused by 'postcapitalism' as a term, probably because I've never considered facts, including recipes, to be capital that someone should own. Can you have a contract with someone that knows lots of facts and can put them to use? Sure. Can you own facts? Not without a government-granted monopoly. And government-granted monopolies are not capitalism as I understand it.

I feel that IP monopolies are better described as 'corporatism' since those rights are directly proportional to your ability to enforce them with a legal team.

What's the use in comparing that dam with that another? They have absolutely nothing in common.

If you wanted to know why it's so dangerous, it still doesn't help comparing the dangerous one with your favorite and safe dam.

Earlier news give more context, the Iraq and US official warning, now the former engineers are even more worried than Iraq and US officials who did make explicit warnings, which certainly means it's really critical:

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/feb/29/iraq-us-issue-w...

And the "explanation" is, the decision to build it was from the start political, not guided by the safety concerns:

"The dam, the largest in Iraq, has had structural problems since its construction in the 1980s. The Saddam Hussein regime pressed on with it in the face of warnings from geologists that it was being built on weak, water-soluble rock such as gypsum and anhydrite.

A report by a panel of Iraqi and Swedish geologists and engineers last year described it as “the most dangerous dam in the world”, saying its very construction was a “mystery” in view of the unfavourable geology. Before it was built, the report said, “all the studies expressed a clear concern on the fact that this region suffers from extensive presence of soluble rock formations that might undermine the safety of a high dam of a large reservoir such as Mosul dam.”"

And the safety-increasing project was started even 20 years ago, but the sanctions and the wars were stronger:

"A second structure, the Badush dam, was started 20km downstream, to prevent a catastrophe in the event of the Mosul dam’s failure. But work on Badush halted in the 1990s because of the pressure of sanctions, leaving it only 40% complete."

It has a predefined set of calling conventions
(sadly, this doesn't list x86 and other architecture-specific ones): http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#calling-conventions

GHC and HiPE appear to have gotten themselves LLVM calling conventions, I guess.
But none of this can be customized further without modifying LLVM.

Besides, none of these choices seem to affect anything other than the (ordered) set of registers available for arguments, and the sets of caller/callee-save registers (i.e. what you expect from x86 calling conventions).

Once you get to the stack it's really all the same.

What I meant was that Rust could have picked any of those choices, which would make it incompatible with C (it already is for some argument types because of the simplistic handling around them), but it couldn't have used its own special one, not without adding it to all LLVM targets it wants to support.

I think you're vastly overestimating how much area would be available in a farm built into an old quarry.

A 4km by 1km parcel of land is not large for farming. But put vertically, it represents the biggest open cut mines ever made.
It isn't clear what the above comment actually means by"customers". If they are talking about perceived value to a customer who is the advertiser, and they are selling them your value, I sort of follow the point.

In whatever case, you are correct if you are insinuating that the perceived v. Actual value delta is dubious in that it usually doesn't taper off. Once things get way out of whack the correction can be over night

Yes, the dock is terrible - I autohide it to avoid problems. Newer versions (I'm still on 10.9) use a more two-dimensional dock which would be well suited to 'framing' the main window area, at full-width, much as the global menubar does. Then I'd be able to have my ideal setup - dock permanently visible (but probably quite short), and ability to have windows fully maximised, in-between the global menubar and the dock.
How are you going to reflect it into 10000 layers? Your mirror surface area needs to be as big as the area of light you want to capture, and it all needs to be in clear view of the satellite.

You may as well just remove the mirrors and put the farms where the mirrors are.

Focus on their reasons why, rather than just teaching them to code so they can code. What's the benefits? And I don't think just having a job is a good enough incentive.

Try to instill some passion in them, and then like suggested above... All you need to do is show them some books and let them write it out on pen and paper.

Your own link quotes self-discharge rates of 5%/day (for high-vacuum wheels I assume), that's more than sufficient for daily solar storage.
You really, really need to try uBlock Origin for script blocking instead of Noscript. Enable advanced mode and default deny third party scripts.

If you do farming in space, you have many problems. You have to get the food down, and water up, you have to bring up all sorts of materials and store them in space... It is much easier to get light down than to get seeds and water and nutrients up, and then food back down again.

Energy storage not only consists of batteries… Pumped hydro, for example, works well and does not decays over time.
The claim in question was "societal pressure placed on women to be accommodating and not be rude and how this can be manipulated to constrain female agency". It seems to me the links you provide are only marginally related. The first is also paywalled, and the last does seem to be an opinion piece. Or does it include some actual data later on (I only looked at the first quarter or so, as it is rather long)? It proposes some experiments, but then goes on with "it is safe to expect result x" - so why even bother proposing experiments?

One example they provide is

(a) "Oh dear, you've put the peanut butter in the refrigerator again."
vs
(b) "Shit, you've put the peanut butter in the refrigerator again."

And we are meant to decide which one was said by a woman. Then it goes on "It is safe to predict that people would classify the first sentence as part of 'women's language', the second as 'men's language'"

Really??? Because women don't say shit (even in 1973)? And men don't say "oh dear"? If that is seminal and what the modern opinion is based on, excuse me for not being impressed.

Edit: just read more of the second link about negotiations. What I see is them just making another unsubstantiated claim ("it's because of socialisation"). But they asked people over the internet when they last negotiated. Have they taken into account that many women perhaps don't even have a job where they get a salary (ie they are house wives)? Or maybe they are more likely to take on jobs that are unionized (teachers, for example), so that the salary is fixed anyway? And so on. Surely there are reasons - maybe it even is socialization, but there is nothing in the articles to substantiate that claim. It is just the author's bias.

If you get light into a clear material which has a reflective surface( almost any clear material does ;) ) then the light will reflect internally and flow down the material, while seeping out the sides.

Why? How could it be more useful? HTTP byte ranges are incredibly flexible, since you one request can specify many byte ranges at once (it's almost too flexible, since a dumb server can easily be overwhelmed by a maliciously complicated request)
