Show HN: ThatMovieFinder – Find Movies via Quotes/Actors/Directors/Title/Plot
>It would be very hard to convince a judge that you honestly believed, based on reading that slogan, that Privacy.com would somehow release you automatically from any terms of any contract you might sign that happens to involve a trial period.

Where on earth did I say that? Where on earth did I say it would be a defense in court?

It's very misleading advertising. So misleading I think its irresponsible.
> This subset will only include properties that can be read or set without forcing the rendering engine to recalculate layout or style (for example, transform, opacity, scroll offset).

I'm frankly skeptical of most of Houdini, but I'm especially not happy with this one. This is baking the limitations of current browser engines into the platform for all time. The provided justification seems pretty flimsy to me, because effort that goes into this (which is something that native has no concept of, for good reason) could instead go into fixing the problems that make it seem like this is necessary.
I believe that searching any specific movie should be quick and easy.
For that, I have created ThatMovieFinder, which you can freely use to find cool movies.

It's in beta, can be slow, and far from perfect - But it's free :)

Would love to hear feedback either here or via mail (dany74q@gmail.com).

Thanks.
Very good example, thank you!

So these small communities could really profit from such an open format, in case custom categories were added.

They will certainly not get this with the commercial providers of movie filtering.

The Mess at Nest Echoes the Mess in the Smart Home
I think the whole team was used to build out the Google Plus (now Google Photos) product (which has pretty awesome/fun editing features so far). So, honestly I'm impressed that they have kept supporting Nik Collection this long already.

Even a couple years ago when I bought this software, it was pretty obvious that it was mostly abandonware and Google weren't planning on improving/adding any new features any time soon.
I've found that it's important to do my own backups and not rely on IT to do them. I once returned from my holiday to find that the sysadmin had wiped my hard drive. He said he thought I had left the company. Fortunately, I had backups on computers in other states that he didn't know about.
Yes, though he's using a double standard.

Per person, a train costs the same regardless of the number of people.
Indeed, I don't think it's going to be a replacement for serious competitive gaming e.g. dedicated arcade sticks for Street Fighter (though I'm very intrigued at the people trying to use a combination of the touchpad and the accelerometer for rapid accurate aiming in FPS games), but for casual gaming it could comfortably work with 95% of the games out there, even in command-heavy games like Civ and XCOM.

Building transit infrastructure is expensive and time consuming in metropolitan areas.

Case in point: a five mile extension on an existing Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) line and one new station cost $890 million and took seven years to build. [1]

The resulting extension is expected to increase in ridership by 5000 to 7000 daily trips in the next decade. [2]

You're right, sorry, replace "a judge" for "anyone"
Thanks for these interesting suggestions for implementation!

The only downside I could think of is that things could get a bit untransparent with such complex graphs. People could think: "Why did I miss this scene? I haven't even enabled that particular filter."
Tech who?
Yes, because they give different statistics for "software engineers" and "mobile developers". Strange distinction and strange wording in the title, to say the least.

> However, not all tech jobs pay men and women so differently. Among mobile developers, there is just a 2.9% gap between the average salaries for men and women after adjusting for age, experience and other factors. For software engineers, men on average make 6% more than their female colleagues.
Real-Time Point-Based Global Illumination
I'm with Netflix on this one, I think people would be far more pissed to see a $500 bill from AT&T or Verizon... I'm still angry about an AT&T billing error from 15 years ago, that I wouldn't consider them again to this day... I can only imagine what they'd do to someone going over their cap... same for Verizon.

Beyond that, I don't need 1080p on a 4-6" screen. That said, I think Netflix should probably mention that they have detected a mobile device on CARRIER_NAME and are throttling to protect their bandwidth cap.
> also, paypals payout process (MassPay) is much easier to use than ACH or any other solutions I've seen, and much cheaper (2% transaction fee for payouts)

ACH payouts cost a flat fee of tens of cents afaik.
I was in the industry for 12 years struggling until I made a good salary. Before then I was making 90k or less some years. Sometimes it takes a while.

The awesome thing about the tech industry... what you did or make this year doesn't affect what you can make two years from now all that much.

>What did you do to keep head high and still achieve something great in life

Be confident you can eventually get where you want, but realistic about how many weaknesses you have and how long it will take to get there. This might be a two year path for you to get that dream job.

In the mean time, you can't spend 100% of your time stressing about how you aren't growing/progressing fast enough. Partition your free time into both 'learn/grow' and 'goof off/relax' time. You absolutely need the latter too. Study your tech books, practice coding etc.

For me, no matter how crappy or great my week is, friday night I have a couple drinks with friends or my GF and don't think about work. If I stay up all night working, I try to read a fiction book for fifteen or twenty minutes before falling asleep. Little things like that will keep you sane and happy for the marathon it will take to get to where you need to be.

How California Got Broken to Pieces
You may be on to something; although I think having an actual let's player may be necessary.

Now I'm going to get a bit artsy. Games are typically about the interaction between the player and the game and how that player reacts is a significant part of the experience. Let's plays sort of mediate this experience by allowing the audience to see the reactions of the let's player. This is much less powerful, but sometimes the audience actually prefers the less powerful experience. Horrer games are popular to watch because people don't always like being scared (but watching other people getting scared is pretty entertaining). That Dragon, Cancer likely suffers because it's not a game that makes you feel good, it's an intense experience; it's easy to prefer the less-intense, mediated experience. As a result, the sales overall may suffer (and the artists might be frustrated that people aren't playing it 'properly').

It almost needs a new business model. I think we can agree that more games like this is a good thing.
Npm allows that too -- you just specify an explicit version number, e.g. "1.5.3" instead of "*" or "^1.5.3" etc.

My comment was against this belief that "smarter" tools in general are some sort of panacea.

For example pining to a specific version won't help you match if the package is removed altogether (as in this case), and ever worse if it's replaced afterwards by another (newly registered) with an incompatible same version out. It won't try to overwrite your specific install of course (since the version already matches what you have), but you'll feel the pain when you try to duplicate/deploy etc a new install with the same package listing -- suddenly the package either won't be there (or will be modified in the worst case scenario).

So, then we opt for ever more features of a "sufficiently smart package manager", e.g. signatures, permanence of anything published etc...

I don't think seattle needs any help in that department, they've got their own over-budget long-delayed tunnel project. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaskan_Way_Viaduct_replacemen...
I'd be interested in seeing more variations. I don't think it's as simple as exposure increasing sales by a constant factor. I imagine there are diminishing returns for some types of games, particularly narrative style games with lower replay value.

There's also an argument that only showing a portion of a game would get people to buy the game to finish it themselves. Unless there's an option for revenue sharing between streamers and game makers, which creates more of a win/win situation.

I can imagine arrangements in the future where popular streamers are contracted by game companies, and only those streamers have permission to stream a game. Or they hire a streamer to produce the video for them, then upload it and collect the ad revenue in perpetuity.

Sometimes the arguments against small companies being rightly worried about not generating enough revenue start sounding like the offers of "exposure" that designers often receive in exchange for unpaid work.
There's already that underground highway being dug, that runs along the bay.
> Rape is sex without consent, big difference between that and violent (consensual) sex.

We don't have to discuss this. Everybody should know this and agree.

But the point was that rape scenes often include sex or nudity. So if you tagged a scene 'rape', you would often have to add the other related tags as well. This is because somebody might have banned 'nudity' only.
"people don't feel safe driving at 60mph in a densely packed road, so they don't"

Not only do they not feel safe, they aren't safe driving bumper-to-bumper.

Computers will have better reaction times, so much of that goes away. But it's still dangerous. If two cars ahead of me slows, and the car ahead doesn't slow and collides, it will decelerate very quickly, perhaps too quickly for my brakes at 60mph.
TrueCrypt offered cascading ciphers. I never liked it, however, they were never really criticized for doing that and no one ever cited that as a reason to not use it. There were lots of other reasons not to use it.
Thank you! Regarding (1), we should definitely add this. Regarding (2), there are two reasons why this might not be a good idea: First, it would be hard to tag. Second, it's not supported by the three formats that the project currently "transpiles" to.

The main cultural problem in the US is the acceptance, but the white majority at least, that police behaving like they do is part of the job and acceptable.

I refer to the fact that you can be tased, shot, beat, arrested, held down by 4 policemen, beaten etc 10 times more easily than you can in Western Europe -- and people think that's OK, or what "the police is supposed to do".

Even the fact that getting out of your car when stopped by a traffic cop (something totally OK in 99% of the world) means you can be shot in the US...

The Legacy of Business Meetings and How to Improve Them
>you can compare the discounted future revenue streams from the non-profitable subsidiaries to their current cost of operations (vs. a sale price).

Not really. CFOs like to think they can. But the idea that anyone can estimate the revenue stream of a company five years - five years - away from profitability is just entrail reading.

No one can see that far ahead. And in Google's case, with the ad industry in serious danger, it needs to give itself as many options for medium term survival as possible.

Relying on Google X or a cloud service to deliver isn't enough, IMO.

From a purely selfish point of view, I think the more interesting questions are around what the small businesses and startups have as viable alternatives for collecting money from their customers.

Obviously there are several other card payment services these days that might not be quite a easy to integrate as Stripe but might have compensating advantages in other respects.

However, there are other payment methods that might wind up being better bets anyway as they are increasingly available to smaller businesses through other new services. An obvious example here in the UK is GoCardless for Direct Debits, which easily beats Stripe on most of the important metrics but has the huge disadvantage of only being available to customers with a local bank account. However, SEPA is already starting to change what "local" means in that context, and if they start partnering up with other alternative payment schemes internationally, I could see them becoming a very good option for a lot of smaller businesses if they can avoid the same fate as Stripe.

The elephant in the room for me is whether there is now an opportunity for someone to out-Stripe Stripe. After all, they established the viability of the market for processing payments for small businesses, and they now seem willing to surrender that market as they move on to bigger things. That leaves quite an attractive gap for a new entrant to become the default payment service for startups for a while (probably before either following a similar growth path or being acquired by one of the incumbents, so you have multiple potential big exits as well).
Keeping DRY with NoSQL
Whenever I pause to think about surveillance and other activity of the sort that is aimed at stifling peaceful, ideological movements and groups it gives me a chill.

At those points it becomes clear that the predomimant interests that we are serving are not those of "the people", as it is the people who are being targeted. This leads to the obvious question "whose interests are we serving and at what cost?"
You could think of it like that, or you could think of it as a cheaper Paypal with better privacy.

I for one don't care for the puny rewards which are much smaller than the value of the data they get from me anyway.
Thanks! Thought about that, too. Some example:

nudity/low: bare buttocks

nudity/high: full (frontal) nudity

But this is harder (maybe even impossible) in other categories. What if somebody sees "throat cut" as a "high" level of violence and a killed animal as "low" level, while someone else sees it the other way round?

Its hard to put any credibility into scandalous stories like this because there's always 2 sides to a story.

If this was really true, I can't imagine why anyone with multiple options to work elsewhere would tolerate his BS.

Personally, I don't care even a bit about Nest. My $30 non programmable thermostat is just perfect. If his head is bloated over that invention, he needs to get it checked.
To expand on this, part of what makes DJB's algorithms more likely to be the Right Answer in the way being discussed is that he chose curves for them that satisfy a number of security constraints, but that are also the simplest possible that satisfy those properties. In other words, if you accept the constraints put on the algorithms[1], and were to go on to determine your own implementation based on them, it's very likely you would come up with something like the DJB curves. (This is assuming you are up on the latest crypto techniques etc).

Share the revenue? Don't know what the correct split is. As a game creator who spends 2+ years per game on a team of 20 (so 40 man years) and then some one spends 4 to 80 hours recording themselves playing and then editing I'd tend to think the game creators deserve the lion's share of the revenue but maybe I could be convinced otherwise.

Youtube already does this for music (not sure they actually share revenue) but they do at least provide a way for the music creator (or the creator's representatives) to get revenue when someone else uses the music.

A better sharing arrangement sounds like mostly a win/win

---

Let me add, while the Let's Player can certainly be entertaining if people are really watching for their entertainment value then they shouldn't need the game to get viewers. In other words, it seems arguable viewers view for the games more than the Let's Player. If people would tune in without the games then there's no reason for the Let's Player to have the games at all. Just be an entertaining person like a some of the more popular youtubers.
> there perhaps ought to be a differentiation between "sex" and "sexual violence" or "rape"

Rape is "violence" and not "sex" in this classification. But this should be documented, of course.

> This sounds like complete bullshit to me

I don't understand how you come to this point of view. You might personally not be interested in this. But that's not what you wrote. Anyway, as you can see in the README, there are several commercial providers for such filtering, so it's obvious that there are people who want and need this.
That is not good either, but I was thinking of for example the drug war.
Cryptographers are mathematicians working in a limited problem space. It should therefore be no surprise that they converge on similar solutions (e.g. both RSA and D-H were discovered at GCHQ years before they were independently rediscovered by the people in the initialisms)
It's truly sad. Last time I sat through voir dire, about 10 people tried to get out of jury duty by claiming they felt the system was too racist for them to give it a fair hearing. Aside from being rather unconvincing, it seems wrong that people who ostensibly care about minorities being railroaded would not want to be on a jury.

But maybe I'm just angry I had to sit through two days of lame excuses.
That's what I use. I have a web app I built for the purpose, and gradually found an equilibrium whereby certain tasks go in Reminders, others go into the app. After awhile I stopped using the app. I need to build support for getting stuff into and out of Reminders programmatically so I can do recurring tasks without cluttering up the interface too much. I want my own interface for managing them.
My bank's security is a password that is a maximum of 8 characters, no symbols allowed. Seems rigorous.
The business of a lot of them amounts to sticking 80% of the money in whatever's trendy, 20% in the managers pockets, roughly. Not a bad deal for the managers if you can pull it off.

I live in Seattle, and what you're saying doesn't really ring true to me. First, many employers pay for a card that you can use for public transit. So it will be free for a large percentage of people during the all important rush hours. Second, driving is expensive in Seattle. The 520 bridge costs money, parking costs money, the carpool lane costs money.

If you opt for the free I90 bridge or don't use carpool lane, you are going to be sitting in traffic, basically no matter the time of day. And if you are driving within the city limits, you have to deal with parking. There is Uber, and for going around within the city, this is viable. But if you are going longer distances it becomes cost-prohibitive for many people.

Thank you for the answers, Umur. I've used both Vertica and ParAccel in production environments for the traditional Data Warehousing projects and have come to appreciate both good and the bad that analytic RDBMS engines bring to the table.

Currently, my favorite is Vertica, but I do have concerns about its future under the stewardship of HPE.

I'm quite interested in what Citus brings to the market and will be following its progress closely. Once you have a more rounded story for the traditional Data Warehousing purposes, I can recommend it to my clients for evaluation purposes.

In terms of a sweet spot for you, here's a free tip for your sales: target customers of Unica (well, IBM Unica now). That's one application that would definitely benefit from your Operational Analytics positioning - lots of data ingested throughout the day, lots of queries to run for the analytics.
Thank you! This is definitely some possible use case of this project. A new category like "dispensable" would have to be added, of course.

It would be interesting to see the same AI in a closed environment with a group of people who are more supportive and thoughtful. It wouldn't eliminate the fundamental problem -- that AI learns and that process is a danger -- but it would be interesting.
Sorry, that'd be Google Play and App Store featuring (in their featured apps section). Quality editors choice or "best new games" featuring can mean hundreds of thousands of free installs, and a ton of momentum to drive word of mouth/virality.
