I would need case authority for that proposition.

I would not for example see how my comment would be any different from any other article which you can not simply post in your blog as it is copyrightable. I do not either see for example how it would be different from say mentioning a great idea I told a friend I was going to implement yet goes on to implement it himself.

The boundaries are yet to be defined for certain, but I do not see how one can reason that others should be freely able to record my speech in a permanent form without making me know so.

If Hacker News in their terms and conditions stated that they owned all that I contributed and made this blatantly obvious, then fine, but otherwise, all that I have stated is mine, and within my authority alone.

Not that I care at all of any of it. I simply want my account to be deleted because I am tired of this place.
I wonder how they are generating value? The funny thing is that it appears the group based social network idea is in the air right now, and there was even a post on HN by someone trying to make something rather similar (see: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1579400 ). Unless they move in first and fast this space will get really crowded.

They could make something that exploits their social graph, kinda like Aardvark, but that again is something really long term. So, what is their value proposition in making users join right now?
I would be excited by a blue planet; a green planet (assuming that's shorthand for large masses of chlorophyll == extraterrestrial life) would probably be the most important announcement ever made.

http://github.com/rails/rails/compare/v3.0.0_RC...v3.0.0_RC2

Still, RC1 has been rock solid for me. 3.0 is gearing up to be an amazing release, been using it for all my web projects since the first beta (feb).

If you're still stuck on Rails2, seriously consider upgrading. Your life will be much happier (once you go through the pain of course ;-)

What would you recommend in place of CJ? Direct affiliate relationships?
Speculating, I'd say reap referral revenue. Orbitz has a program http://www.orbitz.com/App/Affiliate, and hipmunk can probably negotiate better at some point. For an acquirer: drive sales.
The Future Of TV Is Social
All that and they still couldn't ship Larrabee. There's only so much you can do with a haphazardly designed ISA that dates from the late 70's. ARM is overwhelming dominant in the mobile market and very, very cheap.

To my mind Intel's quixotic purchase of McAfee only shows that they've cornered themselves into a market that's peaked.
As an employee, you start out with such a small grant and have so little control over vesting conditions and dilution that participating in a liquidity event to that degree is essentially an act of charity on the part of the investors.

> have a similar name to someone who's committed a felony

Really? How is that justified?
Thanks for the wikipedia suggestion - will try that one out. I am unclear about the terms of use for google search and if we can make use of search results in our tool.
For the downvoters, I'm genuinely curious about the questions I asked.
Your Facebook Impact
Email subject lines are by convention a short explanation of the message. Commit messages, regardless of the SCM, should be the same. The difference with git, and what I inferred from this article, is that commit messages should be verbose. It should be a way for someone to figure out that "bug #33423 has been fixed. Opening files now executes in the proper thread." for a very short message that gets the point across.

If one doesn't have bug tracking software to go to and read about why the commit was done, then it should be much more verbose: "Opening files on a select box executed in the wrong thread. Looks like it erred during startup, where we can't yet fork the process. This patch mitigates the selection box during startup by checking to see if we can fork into our proper thread or not. If we can't, we wait until it becomes available."

There is no reason a commit message cannot be a novel unto itself. And something like that will require a period at the end. If you're trying to limit yourself to a single sentence, or something that can be fit into a tweet, you're only hurting yourself.
Foods to Include in a Type 2 Diabetes Diet
Oh no reason, it could be more than one. Just a figure of speech, sort of like a Cosmo quiz. :-)

Probably if you said "all of these" that's too good to be true, but surely 1-4 is normal if it's really the case.
I recommend GoDaddy with coupon code for cheapest option.

Name.com and NameCheap are great registrars. Their clean user interface, tools and customer service make it worth the little higher price point.

Do NOT register at Register.com, Network Solutions, 1&1 as you will get price gouged and have a generally poorer experience.
Do your menus support mobile devices?
If someone besides me is the gatekeeper to the group, then how is this helping privacy issues? Seems like I would be losing control not gaining it.

It does make sense to classify relationships and share based on those classifications, but I bet there is a better way.
"The emotional moments turned out NOT to have correlation with processing power, visual effects, and 3d graphics. The emotion came from who we played with, not what machine we played on. Games help us create richer photo albums of our lives."

That is why Xbox 360 got Live right over PS3's shiny spec sheet.
Switched from Godaddy to Namecheap recently and I'm happy with my decision.
Not Godaddy.com. They always try to upsell other services and they have terrible customer service.

My recommendation would be www.brandstack.com. It's awesome and they make the process so simple (as it should be).
I'm confused. The article suggests the site is for private groups of people to share things among themselves, free from privacy concerns.

Then the cofounder is referenced (not quoted) saying their goal is to create a social graph across groups by interest.

To me that sounds like a contradiction. How is this not selling users on privacy at the outset while intending to "convince" them down the road that privacy was never what they wanted?
Looks quite likely. They started collecting data in June 2009 and expected that a year of observations will be necessary to confirm a big number of planets.

What are your conclusions? We are not alone? There are places for humankind to expand to?
Privacy and sharing are opposites of each other.

When you share something on the internet, you are relinquishing control of it. Someone can always manually redistribute content you create (for instance, saving a photo you share with them). As such, you should never put content on the internet you never want being made public.
Open-Transactions
Another one of "these" sites? If I want to share photos with a small group of people, I'll upload them to a Facebook album and specify the exact names that should see them. If I want to send a message to them, I'll use email, Facebook messages, Twitter DMs, or SMS. I don't need yet another site that friends need to learn about, sign up for, etc before it's actually useful.

Your app reminds me of http://www.flipboard.com/ It's a very cool idea to be sure. I wish there were Flipboard for the rest of us. Maybe that could be an interesting alley to explore.

For inspiration, http://www.jinni.com/ has nice picture sorting.
It's actually simpler than that now days, you simple set up a server with a headless web browser on it and route all old-browser and crawlers to that box. They get the same functionality but with-in a page post model. There are a few architectural adherence but for the most part it works pretty well.
I'm not a 20-something.
Give me the pitch for going from working 2.x code to code which may fail in unforeseen ways and will certainly take a week of dev time to release. I am not being sarcastic, I just do not see the win of being on the bleeding edge here. The huge win I see in 3.0 is the security feature for untrusted string escaping, which will save me time and pain but is also available as a back port. I am unaware of any other huge wins.

In a fiat, fractional reserve system, money = debt. When large amounts of debt are defaulted, the money that had been created by fractional lending gets destroyed too, hence a decrease in the supply and velocity of money, hence 'debt deflation'. I wasn't talking about 'price deflation', though I should have qualified that term both times I used it, not just the second time.

Price deflation is just a symptom of underlying problem/s, not the actual problems. It's the canary in the coal mine, not the gas leak that's about to blow it up. Prices can deflate or inflate for a number of reasons, from supply:demand imbalances (typical business cycle), change in money supply (which changes demand for goods and services relative to supply), or some other structural change in aggregate demand. Price inflation/deflation is only interesting to me in that regard as a vaguely-specified warning light urging further investigation/troubleshooting, but not as the underlying problem.

I agree with Steve Keen's hypothesis that jwhite linked here, Bernanke can print all he wants, and drop interest rates all he wants, but there's a realistic chance that it won't have the effect he intends. Banks won't start issuing new credit until they are confident the economy can support both the old credit (at an acceptable, pre-crisis default rate) and the new credit.

With the government and Fed propping up a significant percentage of our GDP right now, the odds of banks regaining that confidence aren't great.
And yet many of the things that average people enjoy today could not be obtained with any amount of money when my grandfather was alive. Where I live, today, an annual income of U.S.$250,000 is very comfortable indeed (and rather rare).
I love Trader Joe's. They have an excellent supply of fancier foods and a pretty good selection of pantry items at good prices. I feel as though I get the same level of quality from them without paying for it like I do at Whole Foods.

I love the New Zealand Cheddar they sell there. I have no idea why but it's my favorite cheese. My two year old daughter can't get enough of it either so maybe it's genetic.
My pitch: If you plan to support your app for a long time, you will realistically have to upgrade to 3.x eventually. Better to do so at the same time as everyone else to benefit from the hivemind's concentrated power. Plus, given advances in SCM technology, branching should be easy, and you can abandon/return to your upgrade branch later if you have insurmountable problems.
Amazing timing - I returned my first ever item to Trader Joe's today, and the experience was memorable.

My wife bought blackberries this morning. Tonight, after dinner, we realized they were moldy. I went to exchange them at about 8:30 pm, just before closing. The store was out of blackberries, though. I called home to ask if there was anything else I should get.

"Olive oil" was the answer. So I walk up to the counter, ready to do an exchange, and the cashier looked at the $8 bottle of Olive Oil, the $3 carton of moldy blackberries, and said:

"Yeah those are about even. Have a good night." He then shooed me out the door without even ringing anything up on the computer.

That kind of autonomy is not what you expect from ANY retail establishment, let alone a grocery store.

No use in asking anyone else, since he's the only one that can do it.
I don't know the names of the people in most bands I listen to, but have you honestly never heard of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest? I'll give you that Mercyful Fate is a little obscure. (I suppose I should also ask how old you are, given that you label Ozzy as "a guy with a reality TV show".)
I don't quite understand this and maybe I'm reading it wrong. But if it is a sole proprietorship he owns it outright and you're an employee and you have nothing but a verbal promise of a foot massage and an ice cream later.

If he's saying you have a percentage now, then it isn't a sole proprietorship. It is a general partnership. The default result when two people go into business together is that they've made a general partnership. There are an elaborate set of laws that fill in the gaps if you don't have an explicit agreement on profit allocations or any ther aspect of your deal.

All that aside this shows sloppy thinking on the part of your friend. Be careful.

IAAL.
Yeah I would definitely try this out if it was working.

Facebook started to deteriorate when they made it even harder to group friends. Before it was really simple to assign someone to a certain friend-group at the same time you accept their friend request, this functionality appears to have been removed.

Facebook would be vastly better if the interface was simply more group oriented. If grouping friends as you add them was front and center. A group list, where each friend-group element contains links to functionality such as: what you share with this group, news feed\number of new posts of this group, number online to chat in this group.

Would be vastly better than having a list of groups for newsfeed, list of groups tucked away under privacy settings, list of groups tucked away in chat box. Friend Groups are parents of features rather than Features being parents of friend groups. It just plain psychologically works better.

I think facebook is a genuinely useful site compromised by a shit interface. The facebook interface is like urban sprawl: an uncontrolled expansion that ocassionally gets band-aids rather than a centralized plan based on User Experience.

Jury Invalidates a Patent on the EFF's "Most Bogus" List
For any HN readers who are suitably qualified and looking for a new career challenge...

Kepler is NASA's Discovery mission to find the first Earth-sized, habitable exoplanets. The SETI Institute is seeking an astronomer/scientist to archive Kepler data and results. The successful candidate will be a member of the Kepler Science Office, located at the NASA-Ames Research Center, and will be an integral part of the Kepler Team that shares proprietary ownership of the data and its scientific exploitation. This Support Scientist will assist in the verifying, validating, managing, coordinating, and archiving of the data produced by the Kepler photometer and ground-based follow-up observations. The production of the mission-critical Kepler Results Catalog will be their primary goal.

The successful candidate should have experience managing large volumes of data. Familiarity with optical CCD pixel-level data, high-precision photometry and time-series analysis, light curve modeling and stellar astrophysics are highly desirable. An appreciation for the importance of interface control documents, configuration management, and system engineering is critical. [....more at link...]

Explain, please?
Impact factor (# of citations per article in journal) tends to be lower for free journals, since a.) the threshold for publication tends to be lower, and b.) the established journals still have prestige, which largely remains the currency on which scientific reputations and tenure are built. Because most of the big journals don't allow you to retain publication rights after publishing with them, anyone who does big-impact research worthy of publication in those journals faces an exclusive choice between prestige, exposure, and selectivity, or opening their work to the public at the cost of "devaluing" their work. It's a real dilemma--one which publishers are trying to exploit for all they can.

The picture is changing (look at the amazing success of the Arxiv), but I think for-profit, paywalled journals are going to be alive and kicking for quite a while.

Someone can manually distribute sensitive physical pictures. Someone could manually print-screen a password protected acrobat document to recreate it. Someone could use tricks to get around the corporate firewall. Someone could bruteforce their way into almost anything.

But most people don't because it's challenging enough. The idea of these startups isn't to achieve perfection as much as to make it a little more safer for you to share stuff.
Computers As We Don’t Know Them (video)
Speak to the good folks at Pivotal Labs. Seriously.
Just an FYI: Facebook uses HipHop to convert PHP to C++ in order to lighten the workload per request on their webservers. In a blog post debuting the project a developer noted that 90% of the site was using HipHop-generated C++ as the backend, and that number has likely increased.
No disrespect intended to the programmers of these things: they solve problems I do not have by obsoleting functioning code that I do have.
Wow, I've been a regular Trader Joe's shopper ever since one opened up down the street about a year ago. Frankly, I was always a bit worried that between the price and the quality there was a "too good to be true" angle that I was missing. But from this article, it seems like they rely on:

* Buying good food

* Distributing it efficiently

* Paying their employees well.

I don't really care how "quirky cool" they are or are not, that's pretty sweet.
Commercial Mortgages 101: Everything You Need to Know to Create
Scientists Prove That Designer Knockoffs Turn You Into a Lying, Cheating Mess
You're being downvoted purely because people disagree with you. HN is supposed to be above that.
NOLOH's tutorials are hard to find on that web site.
those are big things but patio11's question was whether it's worth a week of dev time for an existing project - is there value in spending all the time and energy for a project working well in rails 2.3.x?
Perhaps the most relevant point:

A closer look at its selection of items underscores the brilliance of Coulombe's limited-selection, high-turnover model. Take peanut butter. Trader Joe's sells 10 varieties. That might sound like a lot, but most supermarkets sell about 40 SKUs. For simplicity's sake, say both a typical supermarket and a Trader Joe's sell 40 jars a week. Trader Joe's would sell an average of four of each type, while the supermarket might sell only one. With the greater turnover on a smaller number of items, Trader Joe's can buy large quantities and secure deep discounts. And it makes the whole business -- from stocking shelves to checking out customers -- much simpler.

I'm quite happy with godaddy.com. Yes, the checkout process leans towards a day-glo gauntlet, but it's not that big a deal.

Easy to manage domains, and with one exception from a tech guy who insisted on just making shit up, pleasant helpful customer service.
Probably except accurate, although I should probably add the criterion "torqueful" since that robot looks heavy.
To play the devil's advocate, maybe it's best to the let the pawn... er, early adapters, go first, find all the gotchas, blog about them, patch them, and then upgrade. ;)

Disclaimer - I'll happily be one of the pawns. :D
I am just curious, are you planning to release implementation details; or they are already available somewhere?
GWT's been around for years now - I wish more people were aware of it and just how powerful it is :(
>Desirable and necessary resources are different.

That's a bit of a retreat from where your argument was.

But yes, I'm sorry HN is becoming such an echo chamber with no regard for honest discourse. In a lot of ways I prefer Reddit, since there's no pretension that the downvotes are anything other than a mindless disagree.

Honestly, I think that pg probably has it backwards, and that comments should be flag-only while posts should have downvotes. Of course, any system is vulnerable to abuse given enough time.
Nobody is recording your speech for you, YOU are recording it and putting it on the internet. YOU have the power to keep your thoughts off the internet if you want to. If you choose not to do so then that's fine too, you just can't change your mind about it later. That's how things work, if that's not OK for you then sorry but it's not going to change.

Equating a public comment on a public website to a copyrighted article by a professional writer is just naive. If you talked to a copyright lawyer in the USA I'm almost 100% sure that your comments would not clear the bar of what can be copyrighted. Even if it could there are many countries where it would not be protected by copyright and where anyone could reproduce your comments at will.
Sounds like a good article. Too bad he had to wrap it in a stupid blog theme that is as narrow as my iPhone display.

Once you discover git rebase -i you will never go back!
If you put it that way, and you're certain that's how it is, then it sounds like you've got no good reason to upgrade your current apps. Future ones perhaps, but not current.
Moments after the release, deployed http://rubygems.org/ on rc2. Didn't have any problems moving over from rc1 :)
You're right. If the new features and speed updates of Rails3 don't matter to you, then it makes perfect sense to wait until you upgrade. Not knowing your situation, I can't really tell you what exactly the benefits will be of upgrading.
While we're correcting people, HipHop isn't an AOT compiler, it is a source code transformer[1].

My advice is to go ahead and start something with the Hong Kong guys and let us know when the married life and the start-up starts conflicting. We can give more specific advice on a case per case basis. You can do it -- Just get started.
