Online Trading Platform
This website provides information that will enable you to make a more informed decision about some of the popular online trading platforms that are on the market. Today many brokers are looking to offer a wider range of services to meet their client needs. For example, forex brokers at one time were primarily used only for currency exchange, however many of them have now expanded their offerings to include broader markets such as commodity futures, equity index futures, gold, silver and oil against the major currencies.
Silpada Vs Lia Sophia - A Swift Comparison
When it involves hosting and throwing jewelry parties, two whole names return to mind: Silpada Jewellery and Lia Sophia Jewelry.
I want to be able to use the internet without being really worried about installing the operating system, maintaining and updating it. Heck, I don't want to SEE the OS. Just abstract it away from my view. I don't want to see it any more. (The same can be said about web browsers)
I would guess corruption mainly comes about because individuals can be in positions in power. Ie it is not a real democracy and the legal system is defunct? Just guessing, but if that is so, I don't think transparency would help. The bribes would probably never be entered into the computer database either.
There are plenty of advances to be made for sure, there's not much science for it 'yet'. That is why I mentioned 'healty'. Not some super-food to get you through a short period of intense physical/mental/emotional effort, but something that does not wreck your metabolism and plays well with your organs' age-old habit to be useful and doing their thing. So it would definitely not be just some bunch of nutrients but nanobots too that get cooperate with and monitor your organism. It's probably very hard, but if solved, it would make most (all?) other problems mentioned in this thread be non-issues :)

Apple had a brief moment where they were swept up in the excitement of the Open Source revolution, and it was a contributing factor to their revival amongst hackers.

They've since regained their senses, and now only choose open when it's the only way for them to compete effectively (for example, if they are facing off against a seemingly unbeatably strong foe, like Microsoft or Adobe, they will opt for openness because it tilts the playing field, but if they have a near-monopoly they will be the most tightly controlled vendor in the space...such as in smart phones).

Openness for Apple is not an end, it is a means to an end. Money and market strength are the goals, even if it is at the expense of consumers and developers.

In short, this article is from 2005, though I think many folks are still under the misapprehension that Apple products are "open", when they are actually often even worse than Microsoft products in terms of openness, which is pretty darned bad (though it's also a reflection of the fact that Microsoft has become more open in the intervening years due to market pressure and a few gadflies within Microsoft).
Feature request: Voting Behaviour
Not to spy but to discover patterns if any. Each time a HN-user votes for an article he is expressing his/her opinion in a subtle way. E.g "Yes I agree with this comment". After reading PG's comment on the 'Are you capable of being ruthless to get ahead?' article I Up-voted it. This says also something about me, in this case probably of my morality. Would it be possible to devise some kind of 'profile' of my voting behaviour. Not to filter stuff but just as a kind of peripheral awareness.

In Denmark, turnout is consistently 80+%, and we don't have online voting. Clearly, it's not the lack of online voting that's the (sole) problem.

I can see how it's practical, and probably inevitable in the future, but quite frankly, if you can't be bothered to spend an hour every two-three years voting, I really don't need your input on who should be in charge.

Voting should be harder, if anything. Then politicians would have a higher lowest common denominator to speak to.

I can't access this site, but this was one of the demos Dailymotion did last year before they implemented Theora for their video site:

http://www.dailymotion.com/openvideodemo

The demo only works on Firefox it seems, but does a few interesting things including blurring, colorizing, extracting thumbnails etc. from the live playing video.

There also seems to be general surprise that you can do this kind of thing with HTML5 video and javascript which makes me think this impressive demo hasn't been seen by enough people:

There's other similar mozilla demos showing greenscreen effects, tracking of objects, linking dynamic graphs to data embedded in videos.
Stone age technology is still good technology if it does the job well. In the USA / Canada, people seem to get angered / offended when someone honks at them, and similarly people often honk out of anger.

Having phone numbers on license plates comes to mind... so you can call people and tell them to get out of the way =)

Things work slightly differently in India: most of the time you tap lightly to tell people that you're bigger, faster, and approaching from behind, and that it is safer for them to change lanes and let you pass =)
If you listen carefully to a vinyl record playback you can hear, very faintly, the start of a track at little before it actually starts. A 'pre-echo' that starts exactly one turn of the table before.
The master record is cut in a relatively soft material. Copper, I think. The force of cutting removes material from the groove but also compresses the remaining material somewhat. This distortion may spill over into the neighbor groove just cut one turn earlier. The neighbor groove is silent between tracks. So in this silence you may be able to hear a faint copy of the modulation one turn later. This ghost signal gets more volume the tighter you pack the groove spiral, which you may want to do tighter to obtain longer playing time.
Apple thinks they are a hardware vendor, but their users just want the UI software. When clone vendors were allowed to sell MacOS with near-commodity hardware, users promptly abandoned Apple's outrageous boutique hardware and flocked to the clones. Now Apple sells near-commodity hardware with just enough custom junk to screw tinkerers (e.g., you still can't buy a motherboard up the street).

There's a substantial cultural gap between the UK and the rest of Europe. We've been described as "in Europe, but not of it" which I think is quite apt.

The UK has more security cameras per capita than anywhere else in the world. We have more security cameras than the whole of China. This is in stark contrast to our low-surveillance neighbours on the continent who are used to seeing only a few cameras used to oversee a specific high-risk area.

Many inner-city British schools now have security guards and a permanent police presence. In London (where the panic over knife crime is at it's worst) it's not uncommon to find secondary schools with airport-style screening at the front doors.

Can you provide a link to one of these sites or similar?

I was so inspired by this model, that I actually generated a list of all cities in pennsylvania and the corresponding {cityname}furniture.com, {cityname}dentists.com, {cityname}antiques.com, only to find that almost all of the registered domains were just parked on GoDaddy or AdSense spam sites :(

I'm not trying to be a dick - the domain names your friend used probably follow a different pattern - but I'd really love to see an example of this.

Thanks a lot for an inspiring post!

Ask HN: How would you promote a social network start-up?
Hello all!

My bosses have just bought a social network website with 20K+ userbase and 80K pageviews per day, it is basically a copycat of facebook for Russian market. We have large social networking websites here in Russia like vkontakte.ru, odnoklassniki.ru with tens of millions of users, so the competition is quite high. Our goal is quite ambitious – to get a decent market share and grow our audience at least to 1M users in the first year. The problem is that our marketing budgets are relatively small and absolutely not comparable to those big players.

Ideas that have come to my mind are referral contests like "get more friend signed up and win an iphone", cross-promotion with our friendly websites, sending invitation to users from email accounts, maybe some kind of viral videoclips...

Any more ideas how to promote a website like this?

P.S: I don't have any realworld marketing experience, I'm actually the CTO of the project but would like to contribute to project success as well.
I once heard that years ago at MIT, they used to vandalize the physical switch on campus by dialing a number, then rigging the handset mic wires to the wall outlet. Since there was an actual physical connection of conductors from one handset to another, the increased current would sometimes somehow stick all of the relays in place, and the phone on the end would keep on ringing loudly until something burnt out.

Safe liposuction. (Going to be a few self-righteous "just eat less and exercise" replies to this one by metabolically advantaged folks who haven't got the slightest clue how difficult it can be to lose weight when your body doesn't want to cooperate.)

Alternatively, put some rats on Seth Roberts's set-point diet (aka Shangri-La diet) and figure out the path of action, then develop it in pill form for those of us where Seth Roberts's diet didn't work / didn't work well enough.

To make a lot of money, ask yourself where people aren't looking. Often the place they're not looking is a place of moral blindness. Plenty of us would pay just about anything to look normal. The moral blindness part is the people being sanctimonious about fat being a sign of weak willpower and having no concept of the actual science involved.

Another place to look would be fast, accurate molecule recognition array tests for venereal diseases. Get it down to something the size of a vending machine, $20, and thirty minutes (results sent via text message) and you'll get people paying you every night. Again, moral blindness may be a reason why people aren't looking as hard in this direction as they should to create lots of hedons - sex is sinful.

Speaking of not looking where everyone else is looking, would it be too crazy to ask people to do something that actually creates large amounts of value instead of throwing sheep? Even if it involves doing something other than computer programming?
As far as I know, academic institutions have a pretty large budget for subscribing to journals. If a member (prof, staffer or student) wants access to a certain journal that isn't available, the librarian can arrange for it.

So in terms of accessibility to each other's scholarly articles, scientists in academia or larger industries don't suffer from a lack of collaboration. Since this covers most practicing academics, there is little incentive for the scholarly publishing community to change.

That said, there are many Open Access Journals out there - I guess you're not alone in your sentiments that science should be collaborative.
Activity Streams and OAuth: a social web architecture
There's a similar filter in Denmark. The good thing is that I don't stumble into illegal sites by accident, since they're blocked. I have absolutely no problem with child pornography sites and the like being filtered out since it deprives the sites of eyeballs and thus presumably income.

The problem with this approach comes down to "Who decides what goes on the list?" For obvious reasons a list of illegal sites can't be publicly available, so it's hard for free speech organisations, watchdog organisations etc. to look into it. A few years ago the list was leaked and someone went through it to see how much of it was actually illegal content. According to the blogger who wrote the article less than 50% contained illegal content. Since there's no way to complain it raises some serious questions.
The problem with knowing if corruption occurred or not is access to information, which was not possible earlier.

With RTI, officials have to provide requested information within stipulated time frame or face actions - including suspension from service.

But, this is pull model. RTI application needs to be filed to get information.

Instead it should be push.

All Govt. expenses, the authorization details for those expenses (who made it) and the reasons for making those authorizations (details of tenders received and why one was favored over the other), should all be made public. So that it is easier to find foul play.

All this is related to corruption in Govt. expenditure.

Regarding bribes, usually applications/files submitted to Govt. offices do not move if bribes are pending. Now one can file for information on why some particular file has not moved and if that details given are not satisfactory, one can use it to file a complaint.

Could you elaborate on this? Would love to get an insight into the differences you're talking about. That's not to say I don't notice any differences but I struggle to see the multitude of tiny differences that, on aggregate, would make genuine and appreciable positive difference to how I work.
I recently saw a post on Hacker News, where somebody created a [find-a-cofounder] spreadsheet. ... Literally 99% of the rows read something like this: "I am a business guy/entrepreneur/mba/professional; I am looking for a technical cofounder;"

No. It's "literally" around 20% to 30%. The rest were tech people looking for business types or other tech people. Here's the spreadsheet:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AgCvDTyBjHdOdDFfMENq...

You were lazy (you didn't even bother to google that spreadsheet and look) and spoke in platitudes/over-generalizations and reiterated conventional wisdom. Shame on you. The truth is not only different but much more interesting.

Everyone knows that it's easy to have an idea.

No, it's not. So many of those entries are people who are technical but looking for a good idea to work on. "Business types are a dime a dozen." Not so. A good business development person will rock your project. How many great, but dead, sites are out there? Plenty.

Picking the right cofounder is important.

Fuck that nonsense. You're mouthing the words someone else gave you. If you have an organic cofounder -- great; go for it. I'm not against having cofounders. But if you think for one moment that a project needs more than one founder, and you have to pick one for the project to succeed, you simply don't know what you're talking about.

But the electronics would be different if you did it by tapping the line switch, than if you did it by generating a sharp noise on the line. After all, pulse dialing is also called 'loop disconnect dialing':
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_dialing

"The pulses are generated through the making and breaking of the telephone connection (akin to flicking a light switch on and off); the audible clicks are a side effect of this."

It's confusing.
How about a SmartNav head tracker plus footpedal switches for the mouse buttons? A Unicomp EnduraPro keyboard with pointer stick would be cheaper, though, and that's not a cheap keyboard.

> 'Nobody would prevent anyone from eating'

That isn't really the point though. Whenever there is progress the majority of people stop doing the 'old' thing in favour of the 'new' thing. Hardly anyone in the first world makes their own clothes these days as our standard of living/price of clothing makes it easy not to, most young people wouldn't even consider making their own furniture, people don't hand-write letters. I'm not saying that these things are necessarily bad, just using them as examples of things 'nobody would prevent anyone from [doing]' which people don't (generally) do.

My team at work tends to go out and get our lunch together then sit in the kitchen and eat together. We probably talk more in that half an hour than we do the entire rest of the day. If we all took our magic food pill in the morning then that just wouldn't happen. No one would be stopping us doing it but we still wouldn't do it; it'd be far too easy to tell yourself that you're too busy to take that half hour break.
