It becomes even more approachable by "Winux". Let people learn the basic of the CLI and get comfy with more open source tools -- then reinstall your computer to a Linux distro (and put your Win-only apps in a VM or on Wine) is a small move.
Massive application-layer attacks could defeat hybrid DDoS protection
Sorry, should have said under-serviced. I looked at an industry which has undergone significant changes over the past few years (although probably all industries match that these days!) and looked at the ISVs and their platforms. The industry changes allowed many more entrants than before and the current ISV platforms are very complicated and pricey platforms which, in my view, would be too costly for these new SME entrants. So, the theory at least, is to create a lower-cost platform.

Yes the issue is that the Swedish governtment refuses to implement it's own identification platform so now "bank id" has become the facto standard.

Every court needs its clown and I've been grateful to Maciej for being that clown for years. He's been the only one -- the only one -- that has consistently managed to make me feel less crazy and make Silicon Valley look a little bit more crazy.

The startup scene hasn't been content with "paying the bills". They've been chasing demand even when that demand doesn't bring actual money along with it. It's completely nuts, and maybe it should change a little.

I mean, you sort of imply that the pro-privacy business model doesn't work, but Pinboard is more profitable than Twitter. Does that mean profitability is no longer the measure of whether a business model "works"?

Thank you for bringing up great points! We've definitely thought a lot about your first question because you're right, if companies don't care very much about consumer reviews then our product isn't going to be useful. As it turns out, all the startups we've talked to so far have told us that they would love to get more and better consumer feedback. In the end, makers are building products for consumers, so it makes sense that makers want reviews from people they are selling to. It's true that press reviews are valuable, but how a consumer sees a product may be different from how a professional product critic sees the product. There are also a couple articles online that help substantiate our point. But you're right, having a rock-solid market research report to prove our point would be a great asset!

For your second question, we don't think the incentive will hurt the credibility of the review - the incentive exists only to encourage consumers to provide an honest review that will help the makers improve their products.

Thanks again for commenting :)

That's actually not true. Most websites with ads don't have a huge network effect[1] that causes and strengthens a monopoly with the potential for abuse that that brings with it. Also, most websites with ads are not in a position to create a comprehensive database of the social structure of the world.

This is true.

They are great technologies, but since they address the market externalities around carbon and other air pollution, the non-free market created by this situation won't achieve the aims that a theoretical free market would.

It's a bit embarrassing to free market boosters to see total global catastrophe be an unintended consequence of their policies, but they've often decided to dig in and deny obvious facts, which makes government intervention ever more necessary and welcomed by the population. Bit of an own goal really.

I am all for free solutions, but I am not willing to put up with a much lesser experience just to prove a point. Even if I and hundreds of other developers were, they would still not exist for ubuntu phone because developers are such a minority.

That is also only the external "must haves" I require from my phone. But I've heard from people that actually owns an ubuntu phone that it's buggy, laggy and are just not well polished. One individual actually flashed his phone and installed android on it because he couldn't put up with the software anymore.

Thanks for the feedback! I admit removal of required registration is one of the problems I am looking to solve. The security needs to be there to prevent cheating. The email is optional so you can just makes something up for username & password, but I do think it is too much friction for first-timers.

As per ruleset, it is displayed on the home page but I could do a better job of organizing it and providing some samples/visuals. Seeing a sample game after it's been played would just look like the worst game of chess you've ever seen, so without the context it might be confusing. I could show a sample of live play from one player's perspective.

I also started writing a strategy guide. Positional and tactical gameplay is drastically different than regular chess.

The game has a small community of players. The next stage will be to add tournament level play, and also consider adding variants for games other than chess (kriegammon?)

Monetization would be through buy-in prize tournaments where a small percentage is kept for the host.

Worldwide mobile phones grow and grow last years. 70% of mobile customers using pay-as-you-go (expensive) and 30% using monthly subscription contract with included free minutes inside a network. But 80% added minutes burned when month finished.

Why we can't sell rest minutes to pay-as-you-go customers and get charges back? The purchased package is your ownership, which u can't sell to other people.

SimShark is a solution to do it. But how we can do it without interrupt ur current service? Let's describe. Now you are using current model: SIM card inside phone and phone connected to ur mobile operator's network:

Thank you for commenting! This is the initial idea at the moment. It makes sense to us because a commission on each unit means that companies pay more if they get more reviews. So far, none of the companies have brought up any problems with this scheme, but we will definitely be trying to solidify our monetization strategy as we partner with more companies.
I'd love to know/dig into this as well! Any ideas?
Hyper-V can work well. I use it very frequently on my Surface Pro 2 with Win10. Currently I'm running FreeBSD 10.3, though in the past I've had Linux distros running in Hyper-V and that was good too.

It's a very convenient arrangement for developing web apps/servers. I have the servers running on FBSD which can be accessed from a browser on the Windows host. This perfectly replicates connecting to a remote server, so when the app is working properly and committed to the repo on the remote host, it's almost guaranteed to work as intended!

When I acquired the SP2 I originally thought I'd dual boot. Turns out that's difficult to accomplish, but in a way using Hyper-V is better because I have Windows and FBSD running at the same time. Of course the VM imposes limits so not optimum for every purpose but good enough for my uses.

I should mention that Cygwin is installed as well. Runs Bash nicely in a terminal, and a good way to ssh to remote servers as well as FBSD in Hyper-V.
Have you tried it in another terminal emulator (like mintty) or an X session (using a X running on Windows or a VNC X server)?

Installing a package manually vetted by distribution maintainers, signed and verified with GPG, is the same as blindly running a random script off the internet?

I don't think you appreciate how much effort Linux distributions invested into creating safe ways of distributing software.
From the images this seems a big parking space. Strange that you consider disassembling your car in such a place as a private individual. What if you run into a problem, it gets late and you have to go home? Story is different if this is the parking of your company and the vehicle isn't yours.

"Look at a graph of postwar obesity rates and it becomes clear that something changed after 1980. In the US, the line rises very gradually until, in the early 1980s, it takes off like an aeroplane."

Not that I disagree with the premise of this article, but the graphs I can find show that there is a steep increase in the late 70's, not after the Dietary Guidelines were written in the early 80's.
Functional JavaScript Data Structures with Mori

It is still a fringe theory in the context of "mainstream" nutritional science. It just happens to also be a theory that aligns surprisingly well with evidence. This paradox is what makes the story increasingly interesting to the community and media.

Whether or not the fundamentals of this line of argument turn out to be ultimately correct, it shines a light on the way practical science can become myopic.

Same here. I use Windows maybe once or twice a year, and it's always a pain. "Winux" won't change that for me and to be honest, I don't really want to support Microsoft. Sure, I think VS is a pretty nice piece of software, but that's about it - too few reasons to switch.

Are you really sure that "a college education is still the best bet a person can make on his or her future" ?

College education has quite a lot of worth, but that worth is much less than it used to be and the price is much more than it used to be.

A degree that has some value is useless if obtaining it costs you twice as much as that value.

You can code on a tablet, same way as you can stand in line at the bank. Neither is very efficient, and most of us would rather not.
Edit: Just realized you might have meant _on_ the phone as in 'using the on screen keyboard'. Ug. That would be truly awful.

During one weekend in which my only options were android devices, I was pleasantly surprised by the packages available in termux. With tmux, git, and ssh installed, I mounted the tablet at the right height and connected a quality keyboard via usb. I actually forgot that I was coding on a tablet!

The phone experience was far more sensitive to maintaining good posture throughout, but being strongly incentivized to keep good posture actually made the experience more pleasant in a way. However, this particular phone was around 1280x720 I believe - seeing individual pixels again, and being pixel-limited (not physical size limited) in the use of panes in tmux were the only facets I found truly unpleasant.

I'm eager to try coding with a high res VR headset.

Apply HN: Groovli: Jukebox powered purely by music shared in your social circles
Sharing music (a link from youtube, soundcloud, etc.) is one of the most popular actions on social networks, but once a song is shared, it stays relevant for about a week at most, after which it becomes irrelevant and lost in their social feeds.

With the status-quo, people are losing out on a lot of connections they could possibly make with other people who share similar tastes in music; they're also losing out on discovering new music / artists that might interest them, while hiding right under their nose, buried within their existing social feeds.

Just because a song was shared last week, doesn't make it a bad song; it's still a good song, and a curated song at that; someone took the time out to share it, because they liked the song that much; and it doesn't make sense that that piece of curated data should go into a silo and sit dormant and unused; but that's exactly what happens with the incessant / endless torrent of information within social networks.

Music is universal common ground; anyone who listens / loves music would love to listen to music shared within their social circle, or even by specific people within their social circle, in a streamlined manner; there currently exists no way to listen to all socially shared music painlessly; its this huge silo of data just sitting dormant, and unused after just a couple days of being posted to those social networks.

Groovli is a social jukebox that is purely powered by music shared within your social circles, as well as outside them; this enables you to easily connect with and make friends with people sharing similar tastes in music, that you might have otherwise never had the opportunity to interact with. Using its streamlined UI you can easily listen / discover / appreciate & discuss new music & artists, sourced from within / as well as outside your social circles.

Windows 10 Broke My Unit Test
Oh please... paying back with little to no interest means it was a government handout.

The banks got rich using that money (giving loans with that money at much higher interest of what they were paying the government, it was a bonanza for them), the taxpayers money at the expense of the middle class.

So yes, let's keep the facts straight here.
Linux users were going around for a while saying "this is the year of linux on the desktop", and yeah it kind of turned into a bit of a meme.

Realistically linux did hit it big, but on a phone OS. It's now one of the most installed kernels in the world, but its brand is hidden. Linux is also incredibly important in the server space, and everyone knows this.

Linux will never have its year on the desktop in my opinion, but it will still be all over the place in the server/phone space. It just won out in other areas than the desktop.
Only if you understand desktop market share of an operating system as a battle.

Myself and a lot of other people are using GNU/Linux and other libre operating systems with great pleasure and, finally, growing hardware support. I could not care less if 90% of desktops are Windows systems or if an additional 9% are OS X machines or whatever.

tl;dr: Just use what works for you. If it supports your ethical values, itäs even better!
Amazing, I was going to build something around this area a while ago. I'll try to find my notes on it and forward them on if they make any sense! I think you'll also make a lot of money if you can do this right and you can definitely take fees from both sides, there's no homejoy problem with this (the cleaner getting employed directly for example).

I also like the idea of crowd sourcing recommendations from your friends and being able to assign tasks and really plan out the wedding. Imagine there was the whole thing from when you need to have a venue together and the app guides you through the whole process.

Good luck with everything!
There is no such thing as instantly available scientific evidence. Even in physics, hypotheses can take decades to decisively be confirmed or rejected (is string theory true? We don't know. Is holographic universe hypothesis true? Probably no, but we don't know. Is there an event horizon in black holes which light can't ever escape? Hawking recently famously changed his mind and now telling us it might not be).

In biology, there is even less certainty and established theories routinely fail to reproduce. Is Central Dogma of Molecular Biology true? How it couldn't be with such a name? Well, no, there is now a lot of evidence against it.

And don't even get me started on climate science.
