> how is a restauranteur going to know whether their new restaurant will make $50k its first year, or take a $100k loss

He won't, which is the suggested limit is on revenue, not actual profit. $10,000 revenue is what an average restaurant burns through in a few days (back-of-an-envelope number) in rent, staff and supplies.
It's not just a TV network in the UK, it's the biggest network.

ITV is the #1 commercial channel, has been around for roughly 50 years, and viewing figures exceed BBC 1, the BBC's flagship channel. They are, in fact, the 500lb gorilla of British television.

IIRC The Register reported last week that ITV's lawyers were already seeking a high court injunction restraining Apple from using the name. And it's still only a rumour.

The trademarks Apple stomped on recently -- like iPad or iPhone -- were for marginal/semi-abandoned products. The core trademark (the actual name) of a major media corporation is something else entirely. ITV will fight to the death over this, and they're big enough to give Apple a black eye.
It really depends on what they do on a daily basis.
Care to elaborate? (language, target app style, complexity, environment, ...)

You missed the point though.

No one noticed, or cared that it was broken.
That did make me laugh:

>>Perl documentation is always good for a laugh. But, I wonder, what does "generally" mean?

First, this was about Perl 6, not Perl.

Second, it was not official documentation, but from a (quite interesting) blog post -- which, as the author noted, explained the matter directly afterwards.

I'm frankly expecting better from the clockwork fish.

Appreciation.

All people face difficulties. Though they may be characteristically different, they all are the same in a relativistic sense. That is one's bout with cancer might be relativistically equivalent to my inability to make friends. It may sound stupid but people respond differently to different things. And therein lies the point. We can control our response to all things. A cancer patient who is able to appreciate his life is likely a lot happier than any human inable to appreciate his non-cancer life.

If we can appreciate all things, we give ourselves the opportunity to eliminate stress and free ourselves to be happy. Humility, laughter, positivity; these all come from a root sense of appreciation. Yes it CAN be funny to go bankrupt during your first startup attempt - that's life!

To stress my point, this has nothing to do with money in any capacity. The most dirt poor nation in the world still has an opportunity to be happy. "Life is Beautiful" is perhaps the most cheesy movie I've ever seen. But it is also an amazingly beautiful movie in my eyes. If you've never seen it, it's a comedy about the holocaust. It's beautiful.

All you need to be happy you have right now.

Weirdest conclusion. An out of control school should be brought back in to line, intent has nothing to do with it. Privacy was breached or it wasn't, whatever the intent.

That should only come in after it has been established that privacy was breached, which should be an offense. That should lead to a conviction with reduction of the sentence based on the intent, not on having the case dropped or not filing charges.

That's only because large corporations have so much existential inertia - it takes a long while to build a corporation up, and they tend to sink slowly enough that they leave evidence of where their IP goes.

That said, it's not too hard for corporate IP to become orphaned. A company makes a bad investment, gets bought out by another company that gets bought out by a third, and records get lost.

Yeah but if Leo Laporte can go that long without anyone noticing, what are the chances anyone cares about us tweeting.

He has a large fan base, and I believe is well liked. I think he points out that twitter isn't building up peoples attention span but making it much shorter. The vast amount of tweet poring in just drowns out the individual posters. I can tell you right now, I wouldn't notice if a couple of people I subscribe to disappeared from twitter except maybe my wife :)
I'm not sure. You can borrow a lab machine, or a friend's machine. Surely it is no worse than a dead tree book - you either have to buy it or find somewhere to borrow it from. Embrace DRM or fail seems like a false dichotomy.

I do agree that this is a worrying trend, and Stallman make a valid point in The Right to Read, but I think the point he is making is that once you have DRM, you can stop people borrowing stuff. That is bad, but we haven't got there yet.
Yeah, I got the warning on quite some sites incl. get satisfaction and even twitter at one point. Does it give false positives?
"Oliver Morgan

Hi All,
Welcome to my introduction to Nitrode.
http://github.com/ollym/nitrode
The Problem...
Node.JS has no FastCGI module or alike that allows it to connect to an
existing HTTP server like NGINX.
The Solution...
Nitrode is aimed to bridge that gap by providing a fast and versatile HTTP
server, built on top of Node.JS. It aims to support many of the mainstream
features NGINX does, but has the added advantage of being written in
Javascript and exposing an API to allow existing applications to fully
control it without leaving the current process.
Great! How do i use it?
You can find the repository here: http://github.com/ollym/nitrode
I have included an example.js file, which will utilise all the current
feature of Nitrode which are:
1. HTTP Basic Authentication
2. ETag and If-Modified-Since Support
3. Public directory / Static file support
4. SSL Support
5. Fully configurable
6. Vitual Host support
7. Redirect support
8. And much much more...
Unlike Connect, it aims to be purely an HTTP server, and focusses entirely
on that function.
To run the example:
1. Clone the repository
2. cd to the repository directory
3. Run the command: "sudo node example.js"
4. Open up a browser, and type in: "localhost:80"
5. Authenticate yourself by using using username: 'admin', password:
'admin'
6. You should now see a page titled: "Welcome to Nitrode!"
Make sure you also read through example.js to see what it's doing!
So whats the catch?
Nitrode is very young, i've only been working on it for the past week or so
and so as such there are a number of things i still have to do:
1. Split index.js into smaller libraries
2. Add authentication digest support
3. Add SSL certificate authentication support
4. Write unit tests
5. Improve sys.pump performance
6. Write benchmarks
7. Write documentation
If anyone is interested to help me out with this list, then please do!
Regards,
Olly"
Indeed.

If this conclusion is extrapolated, what's next? pedophiles looking at pictures of naked children e.g. to make sure they don't have bruises because of abuse by their parents!??
Then such a person can claim not to look at those pictures for for "bad reasons", to give a more extreme example..

Very, very worrying conclusion.
Typical. There's enough text in the sample to ID the client, they could have been a bit more circumspect there.

When all you have is a hammer...

I think we should see this in light of the recent nosql trend though, this guy was just ahead of the curve.
Not sure what to think about this post. I've heard Leo speak about the likes of Twitter being the "internet's nervous system." In reality, these social networks - although useful for certain activities, like networking - are mostly superficial and disposable. Perhaps, when you are surrounded by pundits and PR types, it becomes difficult seeing beyond the hype.
It's efficiency is ~85%, according to the Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_depolymerization
One problem here: to have it operated by the locals requires a significant training effort and then it's reinforced by doing it for real.

You're absolutely right about the lack of a direct proliferation problem and the fact that so many people including inexcusably Jimmy Carter when he was President (he was one of Rickover's nuclear engineers) make such a big deal of this non-existent danger says a lot about modern world wide science policy, all bad.

Weapons grade plutonium has to be be bred quickly so that the buildup of the two undesired isotopes is minimized, which required quick fuel exchange, something the RMBK designed used at Chernobyl allows. Taking standard civilian grade plutonium based on the usual infrequent fueling cycles and trying to make a bomb out of it requires refrigeration capable of removing 100kW of waste heat (that's from the plutonium isotope used to power the RTGs used in deep space probes) and results in something that's locomotive sized and that has sub-kiloton yield (we did this as a proof of concept in the late '70s and Jimmy freaked).

That said, while Iran's incompetence at maintaining and expanding their electrical infrastructure means they really do need the power, what's to say they don't use it as an inefficient weapons grade plutonium breeder? It does indeed suck for this purpose, but will they care???

(I suspect they will because the subsequent separation process is so difficult to run in practice (due to how fiercely radioactive what's pulled out of a reactor is) and they're forging ahead on the uranium approach.)
Rop Gongrijp is the guy behind wijvertrouwenstemcomputersniet.nl and was instrumental in getting the Dutch government to abandon electronic voting and use the famous red pencil again.

He's also one of the co-founders of xs4all.nl, one of the first ISP in the netherlands.

Great quote right there from the Chief Election Commisioner: "are practically totally tamper proof.", so, effectively he's actually admitting they're broken.

You can't be 'practically' tamper proof, you're tamper proof or you're not, just like you can't be a little bit pregnant or slightly dead.

If they set up a defense fund I'll definitely contribute.

This is a just cause, India is the largest democracy on earth, they're an example for the whole region.
"Maybe I did something wrong to my Google settings. Maybe I flipped some obscure switch. I am completely willing to take the blame here."
"it's not enough to really seriously hurt another country"

Are you really serious? Have you looked at a map to see how small Israel is? What about the problem that most countries are "one nuclear bomb" size, in that everything having to do with their ruling class is concentrated in one massive city? Which I grant would normally take much more than one fission bomb to destroy, but if the placement and wind directions are good, a lot will be uninhabitable for a while?

London, Paris, Tokyo, Moscow, Seoul (I think), there's lots more. Notably the US and Germany aren't in this category (or so I think for the latter, which is an artifact of the end of WWII).

Israel's big cities aren't, can't be that big nor are their very many of them (more than two that really count???).

There's also the EMP gambit which might be used against us.

As for rail yards, again, are you really serious? They're fantastically harder than civilian buildings.

Without more specifics it's hard to give practical advice. Daniel Pink's book 'Drive' and the video that has been doing the rounds in response http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6XAPnuFjJc make an awful lot of sense.

I found Pragmatic Programer to be a pretty good general resource. http://www.pragprog.com/the-pragmatic-programmer

Outside of that I'd second the other comment here taking about Design Patterns - I think that the Head First book http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596007126 is a great introduction

Day to day, finding ways to give to really quick feedback is important, code review and general collaboration with the others will really help.
Ignoring everything else about that finding, if you read the fine print you'll note it excludes the enrichment of uranium to weapons grade. Which they certainly seem to be working furiously on.

They don't need any additional work until they've got enough of that stuff. We know from the documents Libya surrendered to us after Saddam was pulled from his spider hole that the Kahn network acquired from the PRC the plans to a 44kT yield uranium implosion device. Plans so detailed they go down to the factory floor level in telling you "using "Loc-tite" of this variety, tighten this bolt to this torque".
Glad to see some light shed on how business-unfriendly Philadelphia is, with their exorbitantly high gross receipts tax and city wage tax.

The city wage tax is responsible for the city's 40 year long population decline, and most people now do the reverse commute to neighboring counties, because no business owners in their right minds would begin or continue operations in philadelphia county. In fact, there's a good amount of large companies set up right across the city line. The net effect is you see shuttered store fronts and blight on nearly every street, regardless of how nice the neighborhood is.

And, of course, nobody in city hall understands this. The entire political scene in philly is entrenched, pay to play politics.

Don't get me wrong, if these taxes were making philly a great place to live, I wouldn't be bitching. If they had an amazing transportation system, the streets were nice and pothole free, the services provided were amazing, the homeless had a place to go, the police coverage was very effective, then sure, I'll pay for those great things. However absolutely none of that exists in philly, which makes living and starting a business in a neighboring county that much more attractive.
Is there a way to do the reverse? That is, can I ensure a more stable connection by using one terminal to open multiple SSH TCP connections for faster speed and redundancy?

My workplace sometimes suffers from serious problems and because TCP allocates resources based on number of connections, I'm pretty sure I can improve the situation by establishing 2 tcp connections for the terminal.

Has some minor, quiet obvious observations. Saying that though your average techcrunch article serves up about the same.
However, there is a significant amount of the market (30%? Tried to google the figure and couldn't find it) that Wall Street doesn't cover, analyze or do much of anything about. For the most part, this is the playing field for the individual investor.

Is "a couple of hours per week" enough to do the research necessary to perform well in that area?
The most unfortunate thing is that the machines won't be replaced before crucial elections. If they are ever replaced at all. It's in the interest of the political parties to let them continue and the executive branch of the government is too myopic to deal with something like this. Their documents think that it's the greatest machine on Earth (I kid you not) and others are begging a piece of their action. The judiciary in the other hand is already bogged down and it will be many years before the higher courts hear this case and several years for the deliberation to come out.

What alarms me is that this is a country where parliamentary votes can be bagged for money (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash-for-votes_scandal ) and politicians try to buy the people through thinly veiled bribes. What happens if you remove the last pillars of belief in the system? The ballot has been sacred ground in India and it has been a symbol that everything can be fixed. What happens if you take that away?
They should have thought this one through a bit better. A fair number of people will take a refusal to strengthen the system as proof that the system is already being tampered with. That may or may not be the case but the head of the election committee should be happy that outsiders are showing the flaws, not arrest them. After all everybody benefits from a solid system, right?

This is also going to draw a lot of international scrutiny.
The real gain that I could see from this is that we could have a device like this in every home, similar to a waste disposal unit. Then, if the refinary tech is small and safe enough, we could create our own fuels (for vehicles or generators as the video suggested). That way we'd cut down dramatically on the CO2 footprint of fuelling these devices.
Such a law that applies only to publications that make a certain amount of money (exempting others) was rejected in a Supreme Court case called Minneapolis Star and Tribune Co. v. Minnesota Comm'r of Revenue, 460 U.S. 575, (1983).
Non-Profit to Launch Human Into Space Using €50,000 Spaceship
Has this been tested on the current bed bug population?

Such resistance tend to come at a cost that makes the organism otherwise less fit and removal of the selection pressure can change the population. Also, how much of the current population started from ... imports, as it were?

Anyway, as I understand it, the EPA has outlawed the use of all pesticides that really work on bed bugs, so the problem's a lot wider than DDT. It's just that our insane fixation on the eeeevils of DDT make it the iconic pesticide we've managed to ban (at the mere cost of 10s of millions of lives).
The first test flight, with a crash dummy instead of a human, goes up in eight days, off a floating platform that will be towed into place using a submarine built as the group's previous project.

Actually, though - - there it was a tax law aimed directly at the press, but only at press who earned over a certain amount of money. This law is aimed at anyone, so at that level of abstraction, Minneapolis Star probably wouldn't be violated (i.e., it's okay to have a tax law that taxes only those who earn at least $1,000, including the press, but not okay to have a tax law that taxes only the press who earn at least $1,000).

Actually, I hope this one draws a lot of international scrutiny.

Unfortunately, the way things work in India, there's way too much bureaucracy with these sort of things and a bunch of old people running the show who are very much resistant to change (not to mention the potential $$$). Unless the matter is really played up by the media (which in itself is another animal to be wary of), this would have gone through without a question. With the public outcry and the coverage of this arrest, there might be Public Litigations coming in which can atleast halt the process and get due diligence.
Ask HN: whats the best knowlegebase software out there

The USA works similarly. Some businesses gravitate towards some localities based on tax and law differences.
Sorry, but my options were limited: I felt I had to say unpleasant things, and I meant it in a good way. That's pretty much the definition of condescension.

So, it's either being condescending or not pointing out your mistakes at all. Do you really think you would have done otherwise? http://xkcd.com/386/
...and the money quote: I was shouting into a vast echo chamber where no one could hear me because they were too busy shouting themselves.

It would have been more accurate as "I stopped shouting into the vast echo chamber but nobody noticed because they were too busy shouting themselves."
That's a timely article, because I looked at Buzz within my Gmail account just the other day and found pretty much a similar story to Leo. I havn't really made any significant use of Buzz, and it didn't seem to be adding any value, so I disabled it. Fundamentally there was no activity going on within Buzz that I really cared about.

Maybe if Google do something more interesting with Buzz in future then I might re-enable it one day, but otherwise it seems to have gone the same way that Wave did.
No way. This language has been around for all this time, and it's only submitted now? Any idea why it took so long? Are there any other submissions about Factor in HN?
Massachusetts is quite sane about this sort of thing. Only those that "[are] conducting business in the commonwealth under any title other than the real name of the person [or corporation]" (http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/110-5.htm) need to file for a business certificate. So, sole proprietors and incorporated entities are exempt, leaving only those operating under a different name (e.g. DBA's and such). The filing fee is also far more reasonable: for example, $50 in Northampton and Boston, $40 in Holyoke.

Another nail in the coffin of the antiquated "taxachusetts" term.
