Annoyance from the homepage: I don't want to have to watch a video to figure out what you do. Watching a video for me is one step of engagement after I've figured out if I have some basic interest. If I can't establish that immediately, I'll just close the window. Videos can be great for more in depth info, but why not use the space taken up by "A better way to think" (which says nothing) to give a one-line description of what it the product is?

Attackers Now Using Honeypots to Trap Researchers
Sometimes I go through heavy drinking periods (particularly around Christmas when I'm out with friends, family and clients) and sometimes I go through dry spells. There's no real pattern with it for me, but what I have noticed is that I put quite a bit of weight on in the past few years, partly through getting into real ale, then into cocktails, then I damaged my knee. Before I knew it I'd put on a fair amount of weight and couldn't exercise. To make matters worse I'm fairly social and generally run the cocktail bar at parties.

I'm not going to diagnose but my first guess would be that you might be used to a particular drinking pattern. When you step out of that pattern it feels odd. I certainly had this after drinking a glass of wine most evenings in front of the TV. It was part of my switch off from work ritual to separate work from home life. I changed my ritual and cut it out, although I do sometimes have a glass of red wine with an evening meal (but usually once every two weeks, if that).

Currently as I'm on a diet I'm not drinking, although I'm only following my diet during the week (at the weekends I eat and drink sensibly, but don't diet).

You need to decide what you want. If you want to give up alcohol completely then do it. You've managed periods before, and don't see the occasional drink as a failure - think of all the time you're not drinking and see if the time you get back is worth it.

If you want to manage your drinking more effectively then you need to work out in advance a system that works for you. This is harder than stopping drinking and you need to commit to it. I limit my calorie intake, so that kind of determines whether or not I can drink and how much. I also decide how much I'm going to drink before I go out on the weekend. This works for me. YMMV.

What's the advantage over Google tasks?
I think it would be shameful to ask to be paid. These articles are mostly from people who just wanted to share their thoughts with the rest of the world. They are not writers.

Also most of these articles make it to HM because they stir up some interesting conversations. You can say the community makes the post popular. Should the community get paid too?
What's that piece of music at 2:30? I've heard it before in some cheesy techno dance track I think.
I don't have a view on the articles that are republished - I think it comes down to the case-by-case situation between the blog post writer and Hacker Monthly (some bloggers are pro writers and thus kind need to be paid others are blogging for fun and would enjoy the extra distribution).

I'd be interested, however, in seeing the comments left on HN licensed as Creative Commons-With Attribution. I'd personally be happy for commercial use, but I can see an argument for Non-Commercial Use only license.

Everything you write here is being ingested into BackType and a load of others places and being used for all sorts of stuff so why not just assume that comments belong to the ether and be done with it?
Netflix has some pretty decent tech-chops, so they probably took a good look at the number of discs subscribers were getting and comparing that to the amount of on-demand used to figure out the percentage of subscribers who were close to 100% on-demand only and going from there.

It isn't like it they just blindly said, "hey let's try this." It could also be the writer trying to add some drama to an otherwise straightforward part of the story.

I'm seriously working on the co-founder matching problem (have been for several years now). I believe in a mix of offline (google "co-founders meetup" for a location near you), and online (my startup, http://foundrs.com will introduce another really new and innovative feature for co-founder matching hopefully soon - contact me if you want to be a guinea pig).
Brilliant. It's difficult to network with hackers in my city outside of the regular bunch. This just made it easier. Thank you.
I guess on a similar note, I also don't want to sign-up with my e-mail to use and then consequently decide whether I do or do not like another GTD tool.

It would help to have a demo visitors can play around with in realtime.
You have a point. I will check with my lawyer.
Ask HN: How do I get by on less sleep?
I am a college student and after I did poorly last semester, I'm studying way more hours. Let's say 5 hours a day. I am often falling asleep as soon as I put down my books these days. On top of that, I'm working averaged out, about 5 hours a day. Add to that the time I spend eating, being social, in classes, and an hour here and there doing nothing and the day is long gone, It's 4 am and I get back and crash. I really milk my productive time but increasingly, I'm unable to be productive or study effectively because I'm tired.

I tried sleeping more but as a consequence, I felt no more awake (sometimes even more tired) and I got way less done ie: wasting several hours between sleep and productivity.

I have been trying to exercise but I do very little of that. Maybe twenty minute walks between campus and my apartment a couple times a week, but I could never find the motivation to go the gym.

Should I bike for 30 minutes every day? What that help?
Awesome that you're pivoting instead of giving up ... best of luck!
I'm normally most productive between 10am and 4pm. I then get better from around 530 till 730 (but that tends to be that people stop calling me or dragging me into meetings).

On the weekend I tend to be most productive between 9am and 12pm (if the wife's still in bed), but I don't really gear up till between 2pm and 7pm.
My understanding from the Wikipedia article you linked is that you just had to have the string SEGA in a specific spot on your ROM, and that the logo was in fact part of the Genesis III BIOS. A four-character string and an image are pretty different, copyright-wise.
I was going to recommend the opposite since the friend has already bankrolled his poker games. The friend seems comfortable with risk. Father, though an entrepreneur, might not have the same risk profile.

I believe that describes the system we currently have. We shift between Republicans and Democrats on a fairly regular basis, without any action toward meaningful long-term solutions to our problems.
Yep, I got that part (btw - it has 6 tweetable quotes).

I removed the links but given that it was an experiment I'm curious to hear what others think. Two people is a small fraction of the 5k or 6k who will read this post in the next 24 hours.

Ask HN: What would you do with $1,000,000?
Hello HN. I was sipping on my morning coffee and I had the idea to ask HN, "What would you do if you received $1,000,000 today?" How much would you spend, how much would you invest, where and how would you invest it? Would you continue to look for funding for your projects? Or, would you self-fund with your newly acquired nest-egg?
The concept of variance reduction is not even new with computing - In manufacturing they have six sigma. I believe the famous GE CEO's quote was "Our Customers Feel the Variance, Not the Mean" (Google it).

This amazes me also. Imagine 6 or 8 teams of two shooting one person at random every other day or so in our largest metro areas. It would paralyze the country.

And TSA would start swiping your hands at the airport to see if you had recently fired a gun.

Yeah, I was figuring out how to do this as it's the way I read everything (Twitter, Google Reader, Facebook).. rather than visit sources one by one (which is what I'm trying to move away from for sites I like the design of - if NewsBlur can combine that "site's own pages" effect with the river benefit, a big win for me).

One thing I can't figure out, though, is why many feeds do not show the "real" page for the item. Instead, it reverts back to just using the feed or showing the front page of the blog in question, even though the URL is clearly in there. When I'm on "Original" I'd just like to see the URL for the item on the right without having to open it in a new tab/window. Or is this a bug?

I'll throw in my 2 cents about Austin.

I've lived in SF and now I live in Austin.

Austin

Pros:

-Great Food, you can't find the type of food you get in austin anywhere else. Great BBQ, the best tacos, tons of food trailers and Tex-Mex

-Great Beer.

-beautiful down to earth women (I feel like this is SF's big problem it was extremely hard to meet women I was interested in)

-night life is amazing (most people in Austin don't work they just party)

-very bike friendly...you can bike the whole city in 30 mins (15 late at night). Austin is pretty flat (unlike SF) so biking is just so enjoyable.

-There's rivers and lakes and hiking right in the city

-The cost a living really can't be beat (cheap rent, cheap food, cheap beer). I can go to a bar and get a beer for $2.

-UT is right here (I don't know anything about there CS dept, but I think they have some pretty good grad school depts)

-THE WEATHER its almost always sunny. It gets hot in the summer but everywhere has great AC so you don't feel it. It's actually great to feel the heat and then be able to relax with AC. I prefer the weather here to SF where at least in the city its almost always a little rainy and cold.

-Great Airport (flys jetblue and southwest) and great public transit (even though you don't need because biking is so great)

-If you like music theres no place better

-SXSW is awesome every year

-no state income tax!

Cons:

-Tech Scene is super small (trying to change that)

-lots of hipsters (which is good and bad)

-I wish it were a little bigger

-no big mountains or ocean

Nice! It's a shame there's not a way for a developer to make some quick bucks off the cuff like this ;-)
I suggest you use the metaphor of dating for the "looking for a co-founder" phase, and marriage for the "when you start a business with them" phase.

As I am sure you know from working on this, it is an incredibly multi-variate match situation. Not an easy one to figure out!
I have a background in development and have recently become interested in applying technology to social activism of which this certainly falls under. So id be interested in talking to you about it. How should i contact you?
Before exercise comes diet.

As a rule of thumb try not to eat anything that you couldn't get 200 years ago.

Cut out ALL sugar. (not literally, see comment thread) Make sure you get fiber. Make sure you get water. Dehydration manifests in a lot of ways.

Soda? Stop.

Coffee? Stop. No coffee? Consider starting. Be moderate.

Right after diet, of course, comes exercise. It can't hurt to bike 30 minutes a day.

How do you feel when you wake up on a saturday? When do you wake up? How consistent is your bed-time?

Quality of sleep is important. Are there too many lights on in the room? Too loud? Too cold? What kind of clothes do you wear to bed?

Also, while you're at it, it can't hurt to install f.lux:

One way I like to drive traffic to surveys is with advertising, specifically adwords. It not only allows me to get visitors to my surveys, but it allows me to see how many people are actually searching for my product/keywords.

Adwords/Search only works for some potential products. One of the drawbacks is the customer has to know what he is searching for.
I'd like more formatting options. (Bold, size, etc.)

Also would like to be able to embed media somehow (videos, images, etc.)

I'd like to use something like this as a good outlining tool.

The expanding of bullets into new pages is great.

Such an interesting reaction. I'm at the company that hired Andrew. Since he didn't post our name on his blog, I won't reveal his secret destination here. But we are both awesome and a start-up.

That said, we obviously saw Andrew the way that cosgroveb and mcknz. He seemed opinionated, smart, and very creative. We were pretty sure he'd fit culturally and be interested in learning the type of development we do.

Is he a master of OO design patterns? Probably not. Were you when you just graduated college? Once again, probably not.

Should he have developed more of a portfolio and completed a few personal projects? It might have shortened his job search. Was putting together reversejobapplication.com a very creative and effective solution to the problem of getting hired without said portfolio or personal projects? Yes. Yes it was.

See you Monday, Andrew.

Hale's Ales up in Ballard is pretty good, the Elysian breweries brew their own, Scuttlebutt out of Everett is pretty good, the Georgetown brewery makes some good stuff, Lazy Boy brewing also out of Everett ain't bad.

There are also small breweries that don't bottle (like Mac and Jacks) and you have to get them on tap at the famous beer bars like Uber, Brouwers, or Beveridge Place. There are plenty of places to look up more interesting beers in Seattle, the beers you named are just the tip of the iceberg.
Having citizenship doesn't confer the same benefits of having roots like the IRA did. It makes you less suspicious than someone without citizenship, sure. But it's still not sufficient for an IRA-style campaign.

e.g. Attacking a shopping mall or hotel isn't difficult and all but impossible to prevent, I absolutely agree. The difference is, the al qaeda agent won't find refuge a few blocks away. He won't melt into any crowd. He won't have trusted people from the community who will keep quiet or lie to the authorities for him. He won't have a weapon supplier who continues to supply him. And the resource that he does have are far more likely to melt away as it becomes clear that he is out to indiscriminately murder. Ergo the ability of any foreign agent to make subsequent strikes is drastically reduced.

And, unless I'm mistaken, the IRA never set out to murder non-uniformed, uninvolved civilians. Those that were killed, such as on Bloody Friday, were considered among the IRA wholly undesirable collateral damage. While it takes a certain kind of person to be convinced to drop off a bomb designed to strike a military target, or property target of a collaborator, that might kill innocent people, it's far, far more difficult to find people who will execute an attack designed to kill people going about their day.

And I absolutely agree that our response is laughable. But that's how it goes. Authority has no vested interest in proportional or rational response. Its rewards are aligned with over-reaction. If its masters (ostensibly the voters) don't choose to curtail that response or correct the reward structure, we'll only see continued escalation.

But if you carry the clock with you then it only tells you the time in your own frame of reference - which is totally useless.

I can have a broken watch that tells me the time only for me.

If you want to meet someone for coffeedo you want to have to tell them your speed, direction and altitude so they can make the necessary SR and GR corrections to their frame of reference?

Ask HN: Getting an array of tweets that mentioned a given url?
As part of a project I'm building I'd like to be able to get an array of all tweets that mentioned a given url (including if it was wrapped in a t.co link or url shortener).

I run a url shortener service (vb.ly is now vbly.us) and when someone tweets a link 80+ bots come by immediately and 'unwrap' the url - so plenty of folks are building these systems (Most of them are on AWS and most don't have a recognizable user-agent or anything running on port 80 of their IP for identification).

Now I'm on the other side and wondering if I can tap into one of these services. Any ideas? Thanks!

As I recall, a lot of photographers were very opposed to orphan copyright law that was making its way through Congress at one point. The gist of the argument as I remember it was the concern that people would make a very perfunctory attempt to contact the copyright holder ("Oh, we would have asked for permission but we didn't have a current address so we just went ahead and used it.")

And the overall situation with photography on the Web is probably much worse than writing. Even sites that wouldn't condone unattributed cutting and pasting of text routinely use all sorts of photos that I'm sure have been casually copied from somewhere on the Web.
They can pat me down in the crotch until they're blue in the face: they'll never find anything.
In all seriousness, this could have been the single worst way to respond to a complaint.

The only conclusion I can draw is that she doesn't use a computer for much more than e-mail. I have a rule when communicating with a vendor or a costumer from my company: Would I like it if these words and my attribution (as well as my company's) ended up on every major news aggregation site (or just "4chan" works).

Put through that filter, I'm required to look at it from the perspective of not only how "I think it sounds" but "How it could be misinterpreted". The web site for the magazine is down. I can't imagine what her inbox must look like at this point. If this was my error and my responsibility, I would have driven the $130 to the Columbia School of Journalism that afternoon, apologized as requested and begged my company for reimbursement (that I wouldn't have deserved and likely wouldn't have received).
Most Rubyists also seem to be squarely in the NoSQL camp too, so try LNNR.

If it's "all about the apps", then cons for developers mean cons for the users, in the long term.

It's not at all clear, though, that these cons for users outweigh the pros for them.
Looks really cool.

Small nit: In Chrome, hit the backspace a few too many times and it fired the "Back" action of the browser. Might want to override this default when in text editing mode.
Looking forward to this. I love the parent-child relationship for organizing my thoughts. It is feels very natural to me.

I think you have a slight misunderstanding about what "pay per word" means in the writing business. Publications don't just tell writers they're getting $.05 per word and then let them run off and produce as many words as they want. Rather, they tend to have word limits and expectations per article: 500, 1000, etc. The reasons they pay "per word," and not necessarily a flate rate per piece, are several:

a) They want to reserve the right to edit the final piece and/or change word count expectations on the fly.

b) There might be additional work added to the work order, such as sidebars or supplementary appendices. Rather than draw up an entirely new contract or fee structure, they'll just add these to word count.

All in, pay-per-word usually ends up underpaying writers for their contributions to typical publications or advertisements. Pay-per-word doesn't take into account hours per article, which can be highly variable depending on the nature of the assignment. An in-depth research project yielding a 1,000 word essay is obviously harder to produce than a 1,000 word opinion piece about men's fashion.

I feel like they acted the way they did because they thought the public wanted to see some kind of action in response to the threat. It's as much the fault of the British public for being so ambivalent about politics that the government is left trying to guess what we want.

Perhaps if more people were to study modern history it would be a bigger issue. Outside of my immediate friendship group, most of the people I've talked about it don't seem to view it as an issue. If you don't explicitly value civil liberty then it seems like a fair exchange for the chance to catch a terrorist before they act. Not many people think it through further than that.
