While I do not agree with the poster you are responding to, there is a lot of room between being a drug dealer and being not-perfect. All people aren't perfect, but most aren't drug dealers.

The problem maybe that he glorifies drug dealers to a certain extent. And I am sure you will agree, that we need less drug dealers, and need to make it less attractive.

Which basically makes it ancient history, right?

I dare you to implement a compiler with only stuff invented since January 6, 2010. Or do basically anything (including eat). Eventually, we'll pity you and bring you antibiotics and parsing algorithms.
Yes. I'm sure. (I just googled a couple of the most prominent names.)

They work around it, or more often they realize that somebody else has found the same bug and just track that. Or they'll feel generous and submit a fix via some bug tracking system other than a mailing list.

If you're using that as a proxy for unix-fu, you should know that it's a REALLY shitty proxy in my (roughly 20 years) of experience.
he he it seems like great idea for a publicity campaign, but maybe it would be kind of weird for a post, I'll think about it!, thanks!
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the exact vector point for a man-in-the-middle attack. First request over HTTP gets hijacked, redirected to a "secure" server, then you (the user) see the lock and go to town, secure in the knowledge that you're communications with this server are protected because they're encrypted.
Of course not.

I put it in air quotes because I couldn't think of a better word for "using google repeatedly to find out everything you can about someone" (referring to the process that I described, ie more involved than simply googling me.)
Wow. Full respect.
I'd downvote you respectfully- but I can't. :)

#1 - You're treating the quoted text as (I quote) "a quote". It's not. It's a small piece of a much larger whole. (I see your point- but it's wrong. I will elaborate in the next bullet).

#2 - Like the first statement- it's a mistake for you to speak factually on something so subjective. We're talking about art here, right? "Period" is especially offensive since clearly so many people disagree. Juvenile and simple are never synonymous. That's not to say they can't live mutually, but that certainly is not "synonymous". Period. Just the fact that people have agreed suggests he is delivering the emotion he intends to with his art. Unless, of course, you can tell me what his true intentions were with the lyric?

#3 - I'm going to make a fair assumption that you've lived a relatively privileged life. By this- I mean I'm pretty sure you didn't grow up in Bedstuy. I certainly don't believe that relieves him of his poor judgement, but I hope it helps invoke some situational empathy. Likewise, do you consider yourself not praiseworthy because of the mistakes you've made?

Edit - I assume a downvote one minute after a post is either accidental or negligent.
Really dislike people who downvote because they disagree, rather than arguing against. Very passive aggressive.

Can you expand on the hoop jumping and YC with some specific examples? I'm sincerely curious.
That possibility is why it would be nice if client puzzles were part of the SSL protocol.
That seems really odd, they seem to take pride in responding to everyone, even if it's a nicely worded negative response.

Thank you!
Are your neighbours on your private network? If not, you don't need to worry about them capturing your network data, because they're not on the same network.
I'm very interested in it. It looks like it is a Python web application, right? I'm a Ruby programmer and should be able to understand the code and steal some ideas if you don't mind :-P

Nope, because I've checked and the only restriction on limo services is that they can't stop for passengers (what you said is a great example of limo drivers breaking the law). Off course it wouldn't surprise me SF was the only state that has this 1 hour law, even though LA and San Diego don't.

I find it interesting because there is a record of SF not allowing limo services to top for customers, but I can't find any on the one hour restriction. Honestly I think that comment was taken out of context regarding the companies themselves having a one previous hour arrangement policy.
What did you apply with?
I remember Fred Wilson saying that Twitter is building a war chest to prove that it's going to be around for the long haul, which is important to know if you're building something on the Twitter platform. (Of course, since then Twitter hasn't done the best job of befriending platform developers).
Thanks! Would really appreciate feedback as I improve things. Im pushing almost daily updates at this point, just need to know if they are useful or not.
Thanks, just got to launch now... :)
I'm pretty sure YC make a point of responding to all the applications, so this was likely a technical glitch. For example, I distinctly recall that the response we got ended up in my Spam folder.
I think it depends on how serious you are about blogging. A friend of mine started years ago a now very successful blog, and he now regrets having started it in Spanish, because he feels the blog cannot grow more in audience because of it.
Yes I have. Most of the people I work with are asking for a dotnet one so I am planning on doing that first, but yes Python is on the radar, and mostly done.

I actually replaced my chair today with one of these:

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50178864

I'm 6'2' and this is the first chair I've had that's tall enough for me - the headrest doesn't hit below the neck. Hopefully it'll wear well.

It doesn't have too many controls, which is a feature IMHO. I've tried Aeron's before and frankly find them to be confusing and uncomfortable, but that's from limited exposure.
Wow, I’m so sorry to hear that. My husband is actually quitting his awesome, well-paid job so we can move back to SF because he really believes in me and my business. Long distance relationships are initially scary, but you can pull it off by staying in daily contact. We have been long distance four times, ranging from three to eight months each time (Toronto-Montreal, Toronto-Paris, Toronto-San Francisco, San Francisco-Los Angeles). We both work in tech and we’ve never wanted to deny each other the opportunity to succeed. It has meant moving cities and countries multiple times, but it has actually made our relationship stronger and our careers much more interesting.
Oh no I understand, I used to be the prime example of polygamy (well not really since they we're not really relationships). I used to be one of those guys for which every skirt is a new possibility and I had this knack for sleeping around, but once I settled for one I for the life of me can't even think about cheating.

Whatever suits you guys though, if you guys are happy then more power to you. I'd would just find it incredibly difficult.
"One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that 'an unjust law is no law at all'."

Using threats of violence against otherwise peaceful adults for engaging in consensual acts -- acts which do not violate the rights of others -- is unjust.
That assumes the session is killed on logout. I know from first-hand experience that at least one version of Merb didn't do that. I hacked a pretty popular geo-socially site by grabbing the session cookie and playing around, then logging out. Was still able check-in after I had logged out and for good measure verified that my session was still valid after changing the password. I assume they were using the default sessions setup so I guess it expired. Didn't keep it around to see how long it stayed around.

On reporting it, the response was essentially, "oh you didn't have to go to that much trouble, you could have just used your user/pass from curl…" Completely obvious to the fact that they're app/site was completely vulnerable to session hijacking.

One of the problems of app frameworks, if you don't know what they're doing (and more importantly, not doing) you can get yourself in a heap of trouble before you even realize there's an issue. But boy, you sure can make it to market fast. shakes head
I have an application submitted for the current round with my sister. She is not active on HN as working on her PhD currently takes much of her time. She is awesome though.
You know what would knock the planet's socks flat on their asses? If the Haskell and Erlang people got together.

I definitely fall on the Erlang side, but (especially if you shrug off the fanatic outliers) the differences are actually quite minor.
Encrypted WiFi won't stop clients on the network from sniffing your packets.

It will, however, stop unauthorised computers from sniffing any network data.
Great suggestion. I'll add a submission count.
He talks about how people look down on the genre because of the foul language, but I have to wonder. Would Gates and Buffet and the rest of the business world put up with a foul mouthed individual? I very much doubt that he talks like he raps and more than likely he keeps his mouth in check when trying to make million dollar deals.
Mexico City. Forgot to be a little more specific, my bad :)
I agree, with technology becoming so simple to use these days, it empowers people to do a lot more than they were able to do in the 80s. On the other hand, I feel that as the cost of creating a company decreases, and as more younger people learn about entrepreneurship, more of them are getting interested in creating stuff at an early age.
I've considered these, but I've been afraid of taking it through security without causing any headaches. Have you had any problems?
"Price and participation may vary."

Yeah, there are airport locations where, for $5.00, you could get a regular cheeseburger and a medium soda. And you'll even have 45¢ left!
I agree, we shouldn't look up to Zuckerberg either. Both are doing rather slimy and morally questionable things, and I would argue that we should find both of them distasteful.
It is all about costs. Those engines are producing energy to keep the plane flying at 500mph. If you pull some power to spin an alternator then you need to run the engines faster and burn more fuel (which means you need even more fuel on board at takeoff to lug all of this extra fuel to the destination.) Add in the weight of the various inverters and equipment necessary to make this system safe on an airplane and I am surprised they even bother trying to run provide power to the seat at all.
I seriously don't want to live in your world.

So what would you tell kids? Do not aspire for anything because chances are, you will likely fail.

I choose the latter.
That's pretty cool. If my current idea fails, I'd like to come with something me and my wife can do. It probably would have to be something related to books if someone has an idea ;p
Because that's where most of the money is made for ergonomics experts, serving as witnesses in trials.
Doesn't work in 3.6.4, even if you override install it or change the minVersion (which is 3.6.10)

Once I upgraded to 3.6.10 worked awesome.
I don't think you're being very imaginative. I'm thinking more along the lines of filters... like a setting that will only call cabs above a certain quality threshold.
I'm with you on this one. After the initial 'serendipity' of google, PB's reputation was sealed and he could pick his title and company.

While it's interesting to speculate if PB had chosen a pets.com instead of google what would have happened to his career, it's not particularly constructive.

The idea that our success is largely beyond our control is sufficiently pernicious that we're all better off just pretending it is not the case and keeping our heads down and trying our damnedest.
Wow, I've been wanting to do this for a while to raise awareness. Great implementation by plugging it into Firefox - well done.
If you think Pipes is cool, check out YQL. It was developed by some of the same people, and has a similar concept.

Genius. Yep, I said it. But the initial video showed confused me when I did a new search and the video stayed the same. Shouldn't the most relevant video load instantly?
That's fucked up. Relationships are not intended to be that controlling / limiting.
Ask HN: Adding co-founders to YC Application
Hi YC Admins and HN readers, I have a question about adding members to YC Application after the deadline. Since I submitted my application (as a one man team), I found two additional co-founders. Both are PhD CS students who are integral to implementing the concept with me. Can I add them to my application for consideration, and if so, how?
Slightly off-topic, but my ultimate device is something like a smart phone that can dock into different "stations" (think desktop, laptop, tablet) and utilise that stations peripherals (screen, mouse, keyboard, etc).

Ignoring the fantasy hardware, an OS that could handle that would be mind blowing.
Simon Sinek, the discovery that pinpoints out the difference between why->how->what and what->how->why. For most of entrepreneurs out there, I think this is worthwhile watching if you haven't seen it before, because its a great brainstorm session! :)
clearly. However, there should be some lower-end services targeting small businesses. I mean, most money in outsourced IT is made selling to giant companies... but I can still call up 'geek squad' or any number of services targeted at the small business market that may not give me the same level of service large corps get, but they are often better than nothing for people who know little of IT.

My question is where is the equivalent of "geek squad" for ergonomics? Hell, I'd be willing to pay a significantly higher hourly rate than geek squad, just 'cause I don't need the ergo people as often as you need IT.
Sales managers do.
I see your points but I think this is overly harsh. You aren't experiencing this first hand - you are reading a summation after the fact and making a quick judgement. This possibly is all happening like a slow motion car wreck.

There are a number of dynamics at play in a situation like this and it can get very confusing, very quickly. The new guy is both an investor whose money they are currently spending and also an employee which blurs the lines on how to manage a relationship like this.

I have seen these kinds of relationships blow up before and when you are a young and inexperienced entrepreneur you don't know whether to engage him, disengage and get attorneys involved or just go crazy. Sometimes it looks like the other guy is holding all the cards.

This doesn't scream clueless, it screams confused and not sure whether to spend scarce resources on attorneys. Next time they will have an attorney standing by.
If I can correct that sentiment: The reason Jay-Z is inspirational is because he promotes ambition regardless of your situation.

Murdoch really wants to kill the ad biz so everyone is forced to charge for content. This is almost getting hysterical. Somewhere the former WSJ owners are shaking their head.
I have asthma. When I was a kid, and if I had an attack, my mom would have me hold my head over the sink running hot water and then put a towel over my head to keep the steam in.

Anyone have an ideas for some liquids or foods which are bitter and could be easily made into an aerosol? I'd be halfway interested in seeing if the theory works. Asthma sucks.
Fair enough. I will be aiming to improve relevance for functions since that seems to be the main feedback.

One of those cases where the way I search for functions is not the way everyone else does. I now have a lot of data to allow me to really improve things. The function relevance is very high on the list now.
Imagine you get a text from a person who wants a ride. You pick them up, arrange a fee, deliver them to the destination, accept the money, and then get arrested for being an unlicensed cab operator. How many arrests would it take before your services is a dim memory? How long would it take if the law was modified slightly so that the car used in the "criminal enterprise" was impounded as evidence until the case was dealt with by the court?

The risk is entirely upon the driver, who, by the way the service is structured, must risk a large chunk of capital (their car) just to participate.

You don't meet each other's needs and you both know it. Deal with it now, or deal with it later: no blame, that's just how it goes sometimes. If you would cheat on him, then you want something he doesn't provide, but just lack confidence in your ability to find what he does provide somewhere else. This sub-thread exists only because it's an issue persistent enough in your life that you need to get it off your chest somehow. Face up to it.

After a bad first experience I put off marrying again for a long time. When I did marry again, it was we were past those kind of trust questions. It's neither perfect nor predictable, but nor does it feel like a trade-off.

Why is it that so many entrepreneurs find his lyrics inspiring and focus on his positive change- and "many young black men" see his reference to his past as a "guidebook"? The answer is because his art is subjective.

He does obviously have a responsibility to make sure he is a positive role model; but the fact that his lyrics very clearly reference his past in relation to his present- makes me wonder why anyone would focus their energy on emulating his past when they can see the success his positive ambition has brought him.

Lastly, can you cite your sample of "many young black men"? Does this source also include the amount of young black men who were inspired by his lyrics to overcome?
It would be a good market, one small org could deal with a lot of local companies, they could also have a side line in 2nd hand chairs & kit from failed status ups etc.

What do you call this, if not flirting with the idea?
"The argument that this could threaten taxi dispatchers’ way of earning a living is the best though. Just because you’re an incumbent doesn’t give you the right to rest on your laurels and never be challenged. If the dispatchers feel threatened by UberCab, they should try to compete better, not hide behind some lame legal threat."

This is such an obvious truth I'm always surprised that people don't recognize it sooner. It's dragged out all the time, and it's never based in reality. Sure, electric lighting put the coal haulers out of business: Good!
It seems fine to just enable SSL everywhere. But indulge me for a second in thinking of alternate solutions.

Instead of sending a cookie, send a piece of javascript code (as part of the SSL-cloaked login handshake) that generates a new cookie for each request, and consider each new cookie in this sequence a "one time use" token. You can turn off SSL for subsequent requests and just use one of these new cookies each time to verify identity because an attacker won't have your cookie generator.

This javascript is really just an encryption key and algorithm, and if you implement it correctly, it should take quite some time for snoopers to reverse engineer the encryption key based on a sequence of one-time-use cookies.

Logistically, I suppose you would run into some trouble setting a new cookie for each request depending on how the page is loaded. For instance, if the user pastes a url into a new tab manually, then this system wouldn't have a chance to set the new cookie first.

However, I think you could architect a system that solves this. For instance, put the javascript token generator source in local storage. If a new page loads with an invalid key, that new page can just get the cookie generator code out of local storage and manually refresh the page's content by making a request with a valid token. This should be quick enough for most users not to notice, in the rare case that they circumvent the site's usual navigation.

A downside is obviously that the content itself is still not safe, but at least the account would be. Any thoughts?
how about this conjecture: the metrics used for "happiness" also correlate to individual proactivity.
Great idea. May want to turn off browser's own 'autocomplete' as its popup results obscure the top of those in your page.
That's a big assumption to make, considering plenty of deals break down at the last minute for one reason or another. There's a large gap between a term sheet and a final, signed contract.
Startcom offers free no-BS certificate signing, and their CA is on most modern browsers, I believe. I think they could be suitable for small scale projects.

I would agree, it is probably confusing initially. It would make sense to follow the heuristics of other instant search sites. However, when I experimented with auto updating the video it just didn't "feel" right. For some reason I think a user selection model is a better UX in this case.
