fixed. I knew that 3am new feature addition is not a good idea =)

UPDATE: yeah, two clicks bug me as well. The technical reason is that often times i want to bookmark a few images on that page.

To do that (the most convenient way), is to save the image, onclick() event when the bookmarklet menu appears.

Sorry, I'd love to have 1 click bookmarklet as well. If the UI makes sense, I'll make the simpler bookmarklet.

San Francisco danger is now over. I'm on a Search and Rescue team that was called up by the Sheriff's Office to be on call, but nothing notable happened and everyone is going home.
I think one aspect of encrypted connections not being the norm is the issue of client caching.

My experience of trying to cache on the client side, data ( from a php script ) requested via GET over https doesnt happen. This is done by design of the browsers as I believe they see it as the better of two evils. ( Not wanting to store secure data and then being attacked for that and losing market share ).

The approach I am using ( which is far from ideal ) is to make use of javascript, which can be cached.
Google began Chrome OS long before Android really took off. They started developing two OS ecosystems that are totally different, and I think they sort of knew that eventually one would win out. I bet that Chrome OS is still in active development because Google isn't 100% sure of Android's future since it's still so young.

A Chrome OS netbook can cold boot in a few seconds, has a nice hardware keyboard, excellent user switching and cloud-based data storage. Chrome OS is far ahead of Android in terms of the "ideal" cloud landscape where your settings, data, and everything else is totally 100% okay even if you set your machine on fire and smash it with a hammer. Try smashing your Windows netbook and see what happens to your documents.

So I definitely think they've got a place in the market and I think they know that. But you're probably right about sales numbers...I can't see it going very far.

I have a Cr-48, and the great thing about it is that it doesnt get slower over time like most computer, which has made non tech people want it. Most PCs start getting slower because of all the things we download into them, but my chrome OS doesn't let you do anything it. If they fix sending attachments, and a version of Adobe that's pretty good is in the cloud, and printing was easier, I would never use anything but it.
Stumbleupon?
Software dev user group listing for Ohio/Michigan/Pennsylvania
If you use a random number by itself, then you have to worry about possible collisions. When the cookie does not contain the username, you, the server, need to look up in your table to whom you gave the random number. This works, but in this case the attacker must create a random number and hope it collides with an existing one (even for significantly large fields).

However, if the cookie consists of a username and a random number, the previous strategy is no longer feasible. The Cartesian product of usernames and random numbers from a large field is too great a set to consider attacking. An attacker's only hope in this implementation would be sniffing or MitM attacks (which I should add are much scarier than brute force attacks).
Please don't do this... having bots launch a DDoS attack on kernel.org is not good.

Just throw the request away or return a 404 at the load balancer level.

If you're on Apache use mod_security, if you're not put Varnish in front and configure it to return simple 404 errors on such pages.

But don't mod_rewrite, redirect or otherwise throw traffic onto someone else's server, let alone one that will result in a traffic cost for them.

In my opinion getting a PhD is a lifestyle choice.

Take a sheet of paper and write the three most important things you want to do. If a PhD won't help you achieve one of them, perhaps it is not the right route. If you are unsure find people doing what you want to do and just ask them if a PhD was valuable.

In the meantime, keep your options open until the last responsible moment. Remember there is no wrong answer.

Marco has mentioned before that the bookmarklet is his biggest support headache. If the current bookmarklet is working for you, there's little reason to take that away; but having some other way for people to get a good experience from Instapaper -- something easier that anyone could use without knowing what a bookmarklet is -- makes tons of sense.

He does kill features from time to time, but he always seems to mention that those features were very lightly used. Presumably that's not the case here (since otherwise it has been hard to make the app valuable, before this new feature).

Are you denying, then, that there are a whole class of applications that are possible on Android that aren't on iOS?

My first example of this is always Locale. It's really, really great. http://www.twofortyfouram.com/

It's not available on iOS, and as far as I can tell, can't be. I would actually love to get an iPhone because the hardware is so amazing and software is so polished (for the most part... notifications, I'm looking at you), but given the choice between polish and control, I choose control. At least in this case.

So, to answer the question in the GGGGP: yeah, the Android ecosystem is awesome.
This is a great read, not your typical HN amateur blogger overblown post. Understanding intelligence to be the recognition of patterns illuminates why and how things like perspective, experience, solitude, and creativity all play into "genius."

Also a great quote which I had not seen from Galileo: "All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them." This notion is something I struggle with when revealing insights to others, because people are so often willing to say "well duh, that just makes sense" without realizing that it's actually a novel insight to them.
Wow. That's a lot of jargon for someone who's not seen iOS programming before.

The probability of collisions with 128 truly random bits is less than the probability of your CPU incorrectly executing a given opcode. And by that I don't mean an unanticipated logic error, I mean literally that your CPU is instructed to add 2 and 3 and gets 1029.

Once you push the odds of some event below the noise threshold of CPU error, it ceases mattering, because you've pushed past the point where you can't do anything about it anyhow anymore. CPUs are very reliable but their failure probability is not 0.

Sebastian's point was that professional style -- here, his choices about what he will do, and for what -- communicates values and goals and self-perception. That information helps others self-select how they want to work with him.

Jacques writes "Faking success isn't going to make you successful". Well, obviously, a style based on misperception won't work, and one based on misrepresentation won't last. But that doesn't mean an accurate and honest style won't help you find whatever you regard as success.
Flourish - a nifty drop-in multi-purpose library for PHP
I can't see many of these selling. And in saying that I’m not saying I don’t think ChromeOS will succeed. I’m saying I can’t even imagine a scenario where it does.

I can. I'll take the opposite bet. (Not an extravagant amount. I'm bootstrapping right now. Wanna give me odds?)

Unless Google does several MAJOR updates in the next couple months the Chrome devices will be feature deficient to the extreme.

Features aren't what matters.

Windows netbooks can do 99% of what a PC can do. On a smaller screen and with a weaker processor but they can still do it.

Yes, but how good is the netbook experience? Can Google do for a laptop-like form factor what Apple did for tablets? I think yes. In particular, Google seems to have recognized that, as far as security and cryptography infrastructure goes, the computing mainstream is in a state of poverty. As far as having workable security infrastructure in place, we are in a state analogous to pre-industrial nations physical infrastructure. (Or maybe the internet in the days when there were still BBS and AOL was up and coming.)

Google gets it. They're doing something about it in a walled garden of their own making. If they succeed, they're going to revolutionize owning a computer in a way that the interstate highways changed car ownership in the US. (And no, Apple doesn't quite get this yet. They get the walled garden part, but they are still a little incompetent with security.)

It's just hard to see for us right now, because we're used to the crappy way things are, just like people were used to driving on narrow, winding, poorly paved roads without seatbelts.

I was with you until the home (although I wouldn't spend that much on a car right away either - miserly college days habit). Sure, you can update your beater car or move out of that bad neighborhood. If you're living in an environment that is hostile, dangerous, or just unhealthy then by all means improve your situation, but I can't imagine many people who suddenly earn millions who are in a housing situation that justifies a $3MM upgrade. I think it might desensitize you to the power of your new wealth, and set you up for trouble down the road.

I think ChromeOS suffers from the same problem Linux desktop advocates suffers from - the assumption that the end user just uses "email, a browser, and nothing else." That's almost never true. Whats true is that each user only uses 10% of the features of the OS but different users use a different 10%.

Grandma uses skype because her grandkids are overseas. Dad uses an old version of Quicken he'll never upgrade from. Mom uses an HP multifunction printer and edits scanned photos. Sister uses two different instant messengers. Son plays a couple of video games. etc.

I'm not sure where ChromeOS fits into any of this. Tablets are a pretty big compromise and ChromeOS can't do 90% of what tablets can do, let alone a real OS.

I prefer a programming model that is not so complicated that you need an IDE to generate the code for you. Even watching the Apple tutorials on using XCode I was struck by how many magic incantations you have to kearn that seem totally opaque and unmotivated (just hold down command and drag this thing on top of that thing and set this property in the pop up - what?).

I think simple programs should be able to be expressed in one file and created in a simple text editor.

Invite HN: SXSW, Small Dinner  My House 3/16 7pm

How so? If I go to New Jersey/France/Mars and buy a candy bar, my home state has no business adding a sales tax. If I write a letter ordering a candy bar delivered from New Jersey/France/Mars, they have no business adding a sales tax. So why tax an order made online from out-of-state? The state is overreaching it's bounds, and that's why Amazon's letter says it is unconstitutional.
CR-48 owner here. From my experiences with it vs. a WinXP netbook, I'd say the CR-48 provides a much better experience. It could do to be a little faster and have more RAM, but for a lot of contexts I don't even notice that there's nothing outside the browser. And I would assume that on a given set of hardware, a Chrome OS notebook would be cheaper.

Sure, it's possible to do a lot of desktop PC stuff on a netbook, but who would want to?
Tell us what you're going to do first, then talk about how you plan to expand the idea.
Yeah, I'm not sure that kernel.org is the right way to go here... plus, I'm pretty sure they'll not be happy.

But, I do wonder if there is some other way to do the same thing. Perhaps we could setup some kind of tarpit like server that sends out a file very slowly... like .1K / sec (~1 packet every 10 secs). Just enough to keep their connection alive, but slow enough to not use too much bandwidth.

But, I'm not sure if this would be any better than just sending a 404 quickly.

Multi-platform support is key - for example, where's Direct3D for Android and iOS? All the viable gaming platforms, other than the Xbox 360, are running some OpenGL variant.

PC gaming is dying the slow death of piracy and activation - while games can perform better (aren't held back by 5 year old console/mobile hardware), and have better input (keyboard + mouse for FPS), the game vendors can't make as much money on them.

That said, Microsoft did push the envelope on this - they weren't held back by the committee model like OpenGL is.
On any device with video recording capability, get the biggest size. You will not regret this once you start using the camera. Yes I know, the form factor leaves something to be desired for shooting, but this is a thing that kills you later down the road when you realize why you're full.
