I see your point, and I agree that for a well defined environment (e.g. my PC, at home, that no one else touches on pain of very painful things).

However, the big picture is that in general insecure should not be the default option.

Take your example, all you have to do is use it once on another persons computer, and then forget to explicitly log out ... and BAM you're compromised. Of coruse, this would be unlikely, since you are smart and can remember, but for other people they don't have the habit of logging out because they don't need to, so it would be very very easy for them to forget to do this.

(Ideally) The security of the user's data should not rely on eternal vigilance on the part of the user.

Better would be an opt in cookie ssytem, that you can explicitly say "keep me logged in on my home computer". That way when you or our hypothetical less than eternally vigilant user logs in to a public machine they can simply forget to click that option and it doesn't hurt their security.

How a Tokyo Earthquake Could Devastate Wall Street & World Economy
I'd rather work somewhere else than pay even higher taxes, and lots of people are thinking exactly this same thing.

SF isn't being competitive with the surrounding towns.
The central part of tokyo (ward 23) is (with a few very small exceptios) exempt from blackouts, due to having a lot of critical government infrastructure on its grid. Most central tokyo trains have multiple power sources, and are running all day with only slightly reduced schedules (they seem to be gradually ramping back up to full service; some, including the Yamanote line, are already back to the normal schedule). Trains to outlying areas often have to suspend service during blackout times, which rotate each day. Most Shinkansen lines are back up to some degree - some running full schedules - with the exception of lines heading northeast closer to the epicenter; those lines will need major track and station repair.

A lot of people are staying home to help reduce load on the transportation and electrical infrastructure. Once the power plants start to come up (and people stop hoarding groceries), things should start to approach normality in the Tokyo area at least. Areas closer to the epicenter will need more rebuilding, however.

Well, there are thousands missing elsewhere, I just hope that anyone alive gets found.
The author makes the case that these companies are driving job growth, and that the tax on stock being treated as payroll is unusual and counterproductive.
Oh, give me a break. I live in the supposed "tax free hooker area", and there are probably more hookers in the lounge of the Ritz Carlton than there are near the SF Furniture Mart (where the city wants Twitter to move). It's not like they're proposing to move them into an abandoned Happy Donut at the corner of 6th and Market.

City hall and the Asian Art Museum are one block north. The opera, symphony and ballet are two blocks northwest. There are two high-rise, luxury condominium buildings directly across the street. Walk 10 minutes west, and you're smack in the middle of one of the city's up-and-coming neighborhoods (Hayes Valley), replete with boutique shopping, gourmet coffee stands and antique stores.

If offering Twitter a sweetheart lease on a gigantic building in a gentrifying urban neighborhood and giving them a tax break is enough to drive them away, then I sincerely wish Twitter luck in trying to retain their employees once they move to Brisbane. What've they got out there? A Taco Bell?
> Tech startups aren’t just driving some job growth in the city, they’re driving absolutely all of it.

I assume theres a source for this somewhere?
I don't think that was the point of the article. Rather, Arrington was commentating on the state of taxes in San Francisco, and he used Twitter and Zynga as an example of high-profile companies which were facing these taxes.
That's not really unusual actually. It was submitted 31 minutes ago and has 6 up-votes. That's enough for just about any story submitted by anyone to get on the front page (unless there is a filter in place that requires more votes, like anything Julian Assange related).

3-4 up-votes in the first 10-15 minutes of submission is going to get your story in the middle of the front page. It only sucks that TechCrunch is popular here, IMO.
Is HN being run by chinese govt or part of a dictated community?
Yesterday was my first experience with HN and I must say that I'm disappointed.
19 hours ago, I had posted http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2326794 about http://www.7dow.com/ with a hope to get feedback from the community and possibly connect with fellow enthusiasts. But even before 1 full day could pass, somehow my post has been deleted without any notification etc.

My first response was to check if I've acted against any rules at HN. However, I was not able to find one just yet. Will someone be kind enough to atleast notify me of what I didn't do right at my end.

Also, I'm not sure if it has happened to anyone before today, if I'm the only one or is it just an error. Anyhow my post states that it is "dead".

I'm not sure if this post will be allowed to be posted. Apologies!

And best wishes to all fellow enthusiasts!
Just remember that the "original" was a blog post quoting an email posted by someone other than the writer---the "original" title was not the author of the email's.

Addictively easy to use, social media management software for your business.
Two notes:

a) Not more deserving, but most companies in the city don't have to deal with the secondary tax mentioned. The 1.5 payroll taxes on gains from stock options is aimed at high-growth / go-public companies.

b) The article is asking why do this to ANY company in the city. Even in small biz an additional 1.5% in regular payroll taxes hurts.
That's all true, but for _me_, the Arduino is invaluable for making it easy to go through the many iterations of hardware prototype and software I need before I decide on the final form (or, more commonly, give up on it as not-as-good-an-idea-as-I-first-thought).

Arduino is an OK development board, but it does constrain your final deployment choices.

I use Atmel's STK600 development platform for the same purpose; the STK600 is their modern development board and supports just about every MCU available via (relatively) cheap routing/socket cards. They've got a have a programmable clock generator, adjustable VCC, switches/LEDs/etc, as well as support for ISP programming such that I can burn bootloaders, and high voltage programming if I happen to screw that up.

I can quickly iterate on a design while using an STK600 to prototype, and I'm not constrained by Arduino's hardware/bootloader/MCU requirements, especially in relation to clock speed and power consumption -- something that I would assume matters a lot on RC planes.

Plus, since the STK600 supports the full line of Atmel microcontrollers, you can specialize for the task at hand, be it USB or wireless.

If I ever thought I was going to build dozens or hundreds of something I'd designed, the ~$30 for an Arduino Mini might become an issue, but for my style of homebuilt projects the money spent on a Mini is often a good tradeoff between my money and my time.

I'll admit that the nice thing about the Arduino Mini for deployment is that it's a very accessible (and small sized) package; off the shelf, most people won't want to deal with SMT and would have a hard time building something as small.
Go to your student entrepreneur clubs, business clubs, computer clubs, or other business oriented organization at your school. You may be surprised and find that what you are looking for it right in your area.
As it says in the article, the problem is that the law covers not just salary but employees' stock gains as well. Twitter and Zynga uncomplainingly pay payroll tax on salaries like other companies, but the growth in their valuation combined with the fact that lots of employees get stock means that if the law were enforced, Twitter and Zynga would be hit with huge extra bills that other companies aren't.
It's a matter of price. Labour ist very expensive and high taxed. Therefore you can get rich by developing technology saving labour. On the other hand energy is cheap, so there is no economical incentive to save energy. Image an opposite pricing. I bet we would have carbon cars weighing 300 kg and with 1l/km fuel consumption. Technologically possible today but not economically.
My point was that it's not a good thing for requests for cacheable content, that might not be cached since you used a query param to access it. Some caches ignore requests with query params since "queries" are often not static.

Low-Cost Ecommerce Solution Is Harmful For Website
Low-cost ecommerce solutions, Reasonable e-commerce solution, cheap electronic commerce solutions! Well, you can them all over the place in your search for vendors of electronic commerce solution in cyberspace. But, are they really provide as the bold and dazzling ads say, or simply call a bluff, trying to plunder you with covered business (bad) reasons?
I built a similar thing for a talk my co-founder and I gave at TED, we needed to use a Gyroscope in an iPod Touch with an iPad and so I initially used WebSockets to proxy sensor readings at about 60Hz (from the ondevicemotion HTML5 APIs). It worked pretty well, but ultimately I ended up writing a bit of C to send the data over UDP directly to the client so that I could skip the web server.

Even then, everything failed on stage when there was too much interference to send anything over WiFi :(
The rolling blackouts are imposed in the cities and prefectures around Tokyo, but central Tokyo itself (the 23 wards) keep power so that the government and key industry can continue to function. Here is a map:
http://www.accessj.com/2011/03/quake-power-outage-area-map.h...

Basically, areas are assigned to one of five groups, and the electric company announces when each group will be without power. A given group may be without power for one or two ~3-hour periods between 6:20am and 10:00pm. The schedule is rotated for fairness, as power outages have significant impact on business. Note that south/west Japan is not part of this because they use 60hz AC while north/east Japan uses 50hz AC and the technology to convert on a large scale is not in place.

The power outage schedule has been a bit frustrating, but we cannot really complain when we think of the larger context and the extreme difficulties that people are going through in other parts of Japan. The electric company said that they would post the schedule for a given day by 18:00 of the day before, but I have yet to see that happen. The schedule often changes, and this afternoon was my second time to wait for a power outage that did not come. Japan uses loudspeakers to give out current information, but I live in between two loudspeakers and am unable to make much sense of either one, particularly with the echoes. When the power did not go out this afternoon, I checked the electric company website again and see that it was updated; my power is now scheduled to be out from 3:20pm to 7:00pm. A chart on a recent newspaper article looks like a sane schedule, and I hope they stick with it!
http://mainichi.jp/select/weathernews/20110311/news/20110316...

I have not been to downtown Tokyo lately myself, but stories from friends indicate that the atmosphere is very different there as well, despite the fact that they always have power. I would love to go check it out myself, but I refrain from doing so in fear that it may difficult to return home if something happens while I am out. (I was returning from Tokyo on Friday afternoon and enjoyed a long hike home then, after being evacuated from a train.)

Thank you very much for your wishes. Personally, I was very close to the epicenter of a M7.0 earthquake years ago, and with that experience behind me, I remain quite calm and unworried. I quit my job last year and am bootstrapping a lean startup, so I am working at home and do not even need to worry about commuting. :)
This is a good example of a REST anti pattern. It can be easier to understand REST, when you know what it's not.
There's no way Twitter moves to Brisbane. This is all bargaining and Arrington's a useful pawn.
I think it has more to do with the timing...in that, these are two companies that are going to be seriously affected by SF policies in the short term.

Why Twitter and Zynga might be more deserving than a non tech company is because of the relatively high salaries of their staff. This extra disposable income flows up and down to the rest of the city.

Look at it this way. You run a dry cleaning business. These are your choices:

Your city can give Twitter a tax break to open shop near you (the same city). This will hopefully bring you new customers and help your business. This can work very indirectly. Twitter Employee >> Diner Waitress >> You.

Or

Your city can give you a tax break, but not one to Twitter. Twitter goes to a different city (because you can always find someplace that has lower taxes). Now neither you nor the diner have new customers. In theory, the tax break that you get ends up being less money than the extra money you would have made had Twitter opened shop.
This is not a part of their core competency. I don't see how this is a good move. If they had bought 10-20 shows, that's a different story...
Really? I've seen a couple of docos where the firefighters and such said they had no idea what they were getting themselves into . . .

was not meant to be a 'parental' tone. This is a very emotionally charged issue, and making statements such as 'Many nerds have a shocking talent for being insular, insecure dicks' simply adds to the anger in the room, without contributing to the underlying discussion.

Good point, I forgot about those! They are a very exciting feature of the perl6 design, if only because someone is finally serious about making progress in the world of parsing.

Some interesting articles about perl6's parsing:

and especially

http://dev.perl.org/perl6/doc/design/exe/E05.html#A_cleaner_... (Exegesis 5)

The bad news is that the syntax is rather insane and perl-like. But the good news is it's some seriously powerful stuff.
You're limiting your view on operating systems to the stone age and that's exactly what Linux, Windows... etc are - stone age operating systems (midori is an exception if ever what I read is released). If the operating system is simply a vm the interface is the vm, what do I mean by this is there's no separation between low level and high level thus no barriers.
This entire article seems like rich people whining. Give me a break.

How to convert MXF to MP4 with MXF to MP4 Converter for Mac?
The city, is just too enamored with itself, especially when the city is represented by the BOS. If SF wants to behave like this, (making a tax grab) they'll likely end up alienating what they're attempting to co-opt.

You hear SF trying to ride the coattails of stratups everywhere. SF the 'heart of silicon valley', 'the epicenter of entrepreneurship', etc, etc. but on the other hand, it s as if they want to do as much as they can to drive job-growing business away and let SF just become the kitchen/dining room to silicon valley.
What simplicity? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2229833. Structured data will give much more simplicity as everything (yes everything) requires some form of structure to parse. As a snarky example: for f in /usr/bin; do $f --help; done now tell me that these don't need structure. Also how is structured data any less parsable than unstructured data? It's all text one has a known format the other doesn't
I'm probably a "fecking eejit," but what exactly is so stupid and ridiculous about the quote "Who are the [Twitter] investors? Probably some of the wealthiest people in this country. And we are giving them more wealth."?

I mean, would the tax really hurt Twitter or Zynga? This stuff is just kind of disheartening. Oh no, your multi-billion dollar massive success of a company might lose a couple mil to taxes, better throw a fit or pack up and move to a new city.
This is the same game of chicken as played between sports teams and municipalities. It's interesting because it's highflyin startups instead of the New York^W^W San Francisco Giants, but the outline is the same.

Muni wants to keep tax base and halo effect, but maybe also wants an extra cut of the upside. Startup wants to expand, but also establish a base of operations. Everyone wants something and has a backup threat just in case. The dance ensues.

SF has some interesting tax policies. I had a startup in SF lo so many years ago. Our total capitalization was $30K. We spent about $15K (on equipment and rent, no salaries) total before shutting down. A few months later SF City/County tried to collect a /$69K/ payroll tax bill based on... well, I never figured out what. I sent them a letter + documentation and never heard about it again.
I canceled my Netflix subscription, but I promise to resubscribe at any feasible commercial price and get another 10 new subscribers as well if we could only restart Firefly (under the condition that it's under the creative control of Whedon)
And it would seem they have decided to take the risk. NHK reporting Japan self-defense forces are preparing to pour water on Daiichi No. 3 reactor from helicopter.
It would be awfully nice if people included units of time when talking about sieverts, because it is a cumulative measurement. If you don't mention how long it takes to absorb a reported dosage people are going to get unnecessarily confused.
I notice that they removed the implication that this reactor design incorporated a core catcher.
This is likely to be a political battle between the progressive members of the Board of Sup and what former Mayor Newsom had apparently set up with Twitter.

Newsom had always focused on developing and growing high tech companies in SF to increase jobs and revenue for the city. On the other hand, certain members of the Board strongly believe in taxing our way out of the deficit. As a startup founder in SF, it's sad that I may one day have to deal with this.

I would only add the qualifier "currently" to your question.

Because a decade ago NY Times and CNN were actually paying for real reporters to go into the field and research things.

Now they've become popculture pushers, anything just to get eyeballs on their websites, though the NY Times still has some good pieces. CNN is long past gone however.
About 3 years ago, I pushed for my college to adopt Google Apps. We were on an antiquated system that was falling apart and Google Apps seemed like the best alternative (not to mention, it was free).

Unfortunately, this beneficial student government iniatiative became a bureaucratic quagmire. I was the sole student representative on the university committee that had to ultimately decide the future of our email system and had to go toe-to-toe with the university's ADA person (don't remember her title, but that was her main job duty).

While I absolutely sympathize and recognize that email should be accessible to all, this single feature became the one deciding factor between Google Apps and Microsoft Live@Edu. The committee literally favored Google Apps on almost every point of comparison (storage space, mobile access, attachment size, in-line attachments, search, built-in IM), but Live@Edu won out because of its accessibility features.

What were these fabled accessibility features, you ask? Just 2 main ones that I remember: a "low-contrast" mostly-black-and-white version of the main client and an antiquated static HTML version of Outlook Web Mail (which also happened to be the primary client in every browser other than IE at the time). Of course, the committee ignored the fact that Gmail also supported this type of feature degradation by simply using an IMAP client.

The fact of the matter was that both Google Apps and Microsoft Live@Edu would've been an improvement over the university's old email system (which apparently was accessible enough for more than a decade), but the students' overwhelming preference (90%+), Google Apps, was vetoed because it wasn't "as good" as Microsoft Live@Edu on the accessibility front.

Going back to the OP, I wonder if NYU and Northwestern are in the same situation. Is Google Apps still an improvement over whatever they're currently running or is this more of a Microsoft v. Google proxy war?
Why would one meltdown cause evacuation?

Because of fire, explosions, and excessive radiation exposure to workers.

The meltdown would still be contained

Containment is believed to have failed in reactor 2 and likely 3 at this point. Smoke or steam has been billowing from number 3 for hours now and its fuel is in the reactor, not the spent fuel pool.
I think it's really just because there aren't many poor people (socialism is good :D)

I'm pretty sure it's not honor. Middle Eastern cultures also put plenty of emphasis on honor and dignity, but there are many poor pockets of society that simply ignore these values during times of crises.
