Let me know if you have any suggestions for this.
It'd definitely be cool to see YouPhonics open sourced. There are a decent number of desktop-based OSS out there that do similar things, but not usually polished, and certainly nothing I know of that's web based.

I'd love to help out however I can.
It's weird, seeing a link to a blog I administer (Club Troppo), on HN, that wasn't by me.
As a long time .NET developer converted to Ruby and Node.js, you hit the nail on the head. The innovators and creative types are on the open source side.

That is not to say I have not worked with talented .NET developers but for the most part the culture of .NET developers is to find a corporate job and wallow in an enterprise process. Don't do anything outside of Visual Studio and heaven forbid use anything not built by MS.

The same can be said about Java which needs to be redefined in the dictionary as THE language of over-engineering.

> Anybody can send 300,000 BTC back and forth between their computers.

You assume that's what it was. Calling the bounty in the headline ~$6,000 is disingenuous, too, because dumping the BTC into the market would drop the price significantly. You'd never be able to move it for $6,000, currently. You're talking about more than the daily Mt. Gox volume.

(Yes, you might be in your domain, but there are other people familiar with BitCoin present. It bugs me when those with domain-specific knowledge assume people in alternative forums don't have a clue.)

We use Plone at work - not my decision I would like to stress. I can't stand it. I've never understood the reason to use an object database and the performance is absolutely terrible :-(
I feel like this should have been the first replay to my rant. The nodes are already wrapped in the jQuery object, just need to use eq to access them by index. I've never seen that before, thanks
Your question phrasing is a little odd; I would consider using software (rather than paid help) as "preparing my own taxes".

TurboTax and similar are barely $30, for federal + state. Plus they're tax-deductible!

What's the value of your time? They don't need to save that much time to pay for themselves, much less if they catch an error or opportunity that you would miss (unless devoting a lot more reading and care to the paper forms/instructions).

Sure, if you've only got one W-2, no or very simple retirement accounts, no or very simple deductions, you can probably do without any software. But even then, I think there are then free online forms to help avoid simple mistakes or tallying errors.

(In my platonic-ideal digital republic, the tax code and the tax preparation software would be one and the same, and subject to a capped complexity budget in kB.)
This doesn't address the pink vs blue thing, but I found this article on the preferences of homosexuals vs heterosexuals to be fascinating: http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/gay-sex-vs-straight-sex/

My favorite quote, once it was shown that ethnicity tends to differentiate you as much as sexuality: The people of Louisiana even elected Bobby Jindal, an openly Indian man, as their governor!
There is no reason for us picking a specific templating engine as default. I will eventually (when I find the time) complete my parser package which will make thighs very easy to use a template "parser", with drivers for various engines. Sure you may like Twig, but I might think it sucks. Somebody else might want Dwoo, Smarty, Mustache, etc. Why would any of us be more correct than anyone else?
IIRC* , posts get rejected if the same URL is in the part of the history in memory. HN loads its data off disk on-demand, and it gets restarted every once in a while. Dupes can get submitted more easily after a recent restart, if nobody else has caused that comment thread to load. This means there isn't an explicit time-out for reposts, just a non-deterministic cut-off. I'd guess it's roughly 6-9 months.

* Please correct me if I'm wrong!

Also, it's all too easy for a good post to get buried by a bunch of lame submissions, then fall off the new page before getting enough upvotes. It'd probably be worth making submissions cost a few points karma; the current system blindly rewards submitting anything others are likely to post.

I think the issue is not that mathematics is bad, but rather that it doesn't deserve the privileged place it has in the curriculum. Maths above pre-algebra is not generally useful, but instead it is only useful to those who go on to study the more technical subjects (e.g. engineering).

Maths is maths, and will always be a powerful tool. But the author is saying that most people need to learn problem-solving and logic more than they need to learn maths; for most people maths is useful only in that it teaches problem-solving and logical thinking. Thus, replace it with programming.

In my opinion, I think a far better idea would be to replace the 'computer studies' classes with programming. Most of these classes teach how to use Excel and Word, and if they do programming it's only a limited variety using Visual Basic. Modernise, guys!
You assume that's what it was. Calling the bounty in the headline ~$6,000 is disingenuous, too, because dumping the BTC into the market would drop the price significantly. You'd never be able to move it for $6,000, currently. You're talking about more than the daily Mt. Gox volume.

It's actually hard to say. Mt. Gox order volume is partly hidden because of dark pool order. What people see might not be an indicated amount of bitcoin on the market.
But the US has long arms. See the harassment Assange is geting in UK and Sweden. Do you think the authorities there would be pursuing him so hard if he was just a random guy who slept around?

Note: YES, I'm aware of the charges against him. Any impartial observer would label them as trumped up. Use of the word "rape" in an accusation doesn't make it more authentic.

That's like saying anyone can wire $250,000 to their friend and have them wire it back.

Sure, some people could do that for fun. But I don't have that kind of cash. Do you?
"TurboTax and similar are barely $30, for federal + state. Plus they're tax-deductible!"

I think they're only tax-deductible up to certain income limits or something. I remember seeing that section, saying "Sweet, I can deduct the cost of TurboTax on my taxes!", then having it come back with "Sorry, your income is too high to take the deduction for tax preparation services". Bummer. Why'd it even ask, since it knew my income before the deduction section?

"(In my platonic-ideal digital republic, the tax code and the tax preparation software would be one and the same, and subject to a capped complexity budget in kB.)"

The way we handle taxes is kinda absurd anyway. Almost all the input data we feed into TurboTax is information that's reported to the government anyway, and they crunch the numbers too to figure out if you should be audited (ever noticed that if you make an arithmetic mistake on your taxes, they'll just fix it for you and deduct the appropriate amount from your refund?) Since the government is doing the numbers anyway, why can't they just do our taxes for us, and either send us a bill for the difference or cut us a check for the refund.
I knew that green or blue was the right answer and pink or purple was not

Purely from learning the societal norm? Do you remember what your answer would have been from an even younger age, before you learned from the culture around you?

I conjecture that closeted gay men are less likely to wear pink for this reason.

Agreed, but I think this actually goes in a loop. I'm not sure where we are in that loop right now, I think we're definitely moving towards seeing men in the closet actually chose to wear pink, but don't think that's common, yet. My reason for thinking this is that it's a typical double bluff - if everyone knows that men in the closet avoid pink, then wearing pink becomes a way of showing that you don't care what people think, and aren't hiding anything.

A similar example of perceptions going in a cycle is people wearing striped clothes to look thinner. It was a fairly well-known "fact" that verticle stripes make you look thinner while horizontal stripes make you look fatter, but it has now been shown to be the opposite way round - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/3351615/Hori... There is a view, I can't remember where I read it, and therefore am unsure whether it's a well-believed view or just a guess, that this just loops around. If everyone thinks that vertical stripes are slimming, then when you see someone wearing them your mind automatically assumes they are a little bit fatter than they actually are, so the effects are reversed.
OK, how about a practical example? In all Khan’s lectures on linear algebra find an explanation of how it contributes to calculus.
Dark liquidity still affects a market, it just affects it less.

BitCoin is fascinating to me because there are people who are absolutely absorbed in it, but it's unlikely to get traction outside of its current domain. The fact that it's moving for real money is interesting, though, and mining or small trades is currently worth it.

I wouldn't dump my life into it, though. Outside regulation picking up on it is likely to be interesting, as well. The system itself is a prime target for laundering money, if the market gets to a point where it can support enormous trades.
The fact that a particular color is considered feminine is cultural.

The fact that people want to wear feminine colors is innate. And they'll do it even if they can only do it secretly.

And there are always people who are too afraid to do what they really want and just do what is expected. And differently people care about this sort of thing to different degrees.

By the way, this has nothing to do with being gay, which is about attraction. Gay guys are a lot less attracted to people that wear pink than straight guys are.

Gay drag queens and straight transvestites have something else in common.
Better idea: Any time anything is seized without an according arrest, they have to hand you a check right then and there for the retail value of the goods. If a conviction comes out of it, they can tack that check onto the amount of your restitution.

I understand this, really. Dan is under a great deal of pressure, as are we all. Most of the developers run several OS projects that have a large following, but when threads like this pop up it's hard not to get frustrate. Fuel already has an amazing community with an IRC already far more active and tolerant than any framework support I know.

Try asking a question in #rails. Chances are you won't even see anybody post for 3 days, and if they reply they'll call you a fking noob.

Cant edit, but my second argument, creating an array containing already jQuery wrapped elements is null.

There is a method called .eq() that allows you to select from the collection and it returns the element wrapped for you.
There's Microsoft's problem right there, they can't ship innovative, risky products, due to their overdependence on the twin Windows/Office franchise. Classic case of Innovator's Dilemma.
Even though Microsoft made its mistakes in search, I do not think Bing is anywhere near a failure of search engine. Look at Cuil for a true example of a failure.

It is funny, my personality traits align well with this article. I have given out very similar advice to others from time to time. It is funny but opportunity does really shine on those who have a positive outlook on life. I was once told that I was naive for looking at the positive aspects of people and not holding their flaws against them.

It was painful because it was part of an, I am dumping you speech from a woman that I loved and who believed that I was always going to be a pipe dreaming looser. She never believed in any of my ventures and thought that I was an idiot who just did not get that there where crappy people out there.

No matter how hard I tried I could never convince her that it was a philosophical view of the world and that while I knew there where negative people, I had to be above it or would be consumed by it. Part of being above it is assuming people are good natured until they prove you wrong. I have been blessed with so much opportunity by believe that there where people like me.

The best advice I was ever given was right after this event by my grandfather in which he told me, never compromise your values and never get jaded, once you do, you start to repel good people and close the door on opportunity.

I guess you would hold that [wheat] flour comes from humans?

I don't, but we don't have to have the same opinions, as long as our respective opinions are self consistent.

So if you hold that humans make flour there is nothing more to say. But if you don't, you're going to have to explain the distinction to me.
I suspect it's that I don't want to come across as too effeminate-looking, even though I don't have a problem with a lot of other things that aren't typically masculine (I do flower arranging, I cook, I ride a Vespa). My inability to wear pink is probably the last scrap of masculine insecurity.

Also, it's totally wrong for my complexion.

It’s not a bad approach. However, the lectures are the only results I can see right now. I criticize the results that I see. And you don’t refute my points. You just see “the sign of weak criticism”.
I cannot say why it's there apart from being what Zope uses, but there is little reason to use a relational DBMS for non-relational data. Data in the ZODB is pure Python and it can store just about any Python object. It's also versioning - undos come basically for free - transactional and distributable (sharding is easy between different Plone sites).

As for performance, are you using a single-process installation or ZEO with multiple ZEO clients? Are you using Varnish for cache? You can route requests for static content through the cache or spread your datastore across more than one ZEO server instance. What version is it?

edit: Take siebo's advice. The Plone community is the first place you should go for help.
What does the US Government gain by doing this? It's not obvious to me that the deterring of similar opinions being voiced really outweight the current and future negative publicity.

It would be interesting to hear inside stories about what kind of conversations are going on on how to best handle Wikileaks. Perhaps via Wikileaks itself?

Also, I'm very grateful that people like ioerror exists. Stay strong and best of luck.
In that link, there are a couple of links to a Ponzi scheme which is openly advertised as such.

That's like saying anyone can wire $250,000 to their friend and have them wire it back.

But wiring money is so easy that it's not very special at all. Beside, the economy will experience massive price inflation if it was dumped on the market.
While it's interesting as food for thought, that data on that page is pretty fluffy, as it's gathered from a dating site. A couple of example reasons:

- The majority of their users are presumably single and and finding it hard to find relationships

- Some/many of their users may be inclined to put a spin on themselves to appear how they want to appear, rather than actually showing who they are.

So, for example, this statement: "the statistical reality is that gay people as a group aren't any more slutty than straights."

I'm not saying that their data came to the wrong conclusion, I have no idea if it's right or wrong, but it is possible that on average gay men do have a lot more sexual partners, it's just that the ones raising the average don't need dating sites, it's also possible that a lot of the straight men are lying to make it appear as if they have had more sexual experience than they actually have.
So are we just going to keep submitting this every day?
Yes we've been perfectly open and honest about every sigle class or library that has been taken from another framework. We have several of the Kohana developers hanging out in the #fuelphp IRC channel and we all get along just fine, so no issue there. If something works well, why change it? :)
Ah yeah, I forgot you had to use .eq().
A recent Ask HN article[1] asked about the viability of a programming language startup. Rebol is a perfect example of how tough that road can be. It's always had lots of potential as a language/platform, but never got traction beyond a small but devoted following.

I only meant that it's not worth talking about in an economic context. At the rate it's progressing, it's not going to impact global economic stuff anytime soon (say the next five years).

I'm way more excited about lower-cost selective laser sintering (SLS) machines. This process yields high-quality (and high resolution) metal parts that most people would want to use in their daily lives. It's also something that we're not going to see out of the RepRap project in its current incarnation. SLS is startup territory. Current machines run something like $100,000, and anyone that figures out how to make this much cheaper without losing quality will do very well!
At least he won't have contributed to that world. If enough others followed the example, it would cease to exist. These people are what we call natural leaders, able to inspire those around them to rise to an occasion to prove their decency and humanity.
If you have any masculine insecurity at all, you should probably avoid saying things like "it's totally wrong for my complexion" ;)
Check one issue, hold shift, click one further down.

Ah, I see - I hadn't tried that, thanks. The old select all/none would be great to add back.

I see the colours on the list of labels to the left of the issue list, but not in the labels themselves on the actual issues (see https://github.com/cmf/schemely/issues). Additionally, when I select the label as you suggest the label always seems to be shown in the dark red that appears in the issue list.

While I'm griping, the migration to 2.0 also appears to have lost the ordering on my tags, and I don't seem to have any way to order them - this is particularly noticeable since I have 3 severities of bug and 3 classes of feature request.

I noticed a couple of other bugs as well - is there an issue list for GitHub itself we can file bugs in?
When I first heard of this, I thought it would be something like seti@home where it uses your PC power to do jobs, and people would pay for those jobs to put onto the nextwork, if you were running it on your PC, you'd get some of that money.

But from what I read, all it does is do complex calculations that don't actually get used for anything? Just uses electricity in return for 'bitcoins'?

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as my original idea? Companies could buy distributed computing time that is sourced from home users idle clock cycles.
I was actually rather unimpressed with what I was able to discover about her work in the admittedly small amount of research I was able to do just now. I'd certainly agree that sex and gender aren't ontologically basic, but its a large leap from there to saying that they're just performative. I'd go so far as to say that Judith Butlers work looks like the sort of thing when you try to fit reality into harsh black and white qualitative logic, when you could easily look at circumstances quantitatively, say "continuous bimodal distribution" and be done with it.

More practically, the brief synopsis of Judith Butler's works I've seen seem to leave no room for the reality of Gender Disphoria or cases like David Reimer's.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_dysphoria
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Reimer
and in the Googling I've been able to do all I can find is either transgendered people being annoyed at "Gender Trouble" or people who have read it saying that they don't see how transsexuality can exist. If there's some official reconciliation I'd be happy to hear about it but I haven't found any evidence of such.

EDIT:
Ah, I see - should have searched harder. If "her new book constitutes a reconsideration of her earlier view on gender performativity" as the Amazon review says then thats welcome and I'm glad to see her change her mind about the things I found objectionable. I still doubt that I would find her work interesting, but you can consider me mollified.

They're dumping PHP4 and MySQL4 support in WordPress 3.2. You're right, they have to consider support for existing themes and plugins, but they're not chained to the past.
But from what I read, all it does is do complex calculations that don't actually get used for anything? Just uses electricity in return for 'bitcoins'?

That's accurate.

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as my original idea? Companies could buy distributed computing time that is sourced from home users idle clock cycles.

That's a good idea. I think the owners of GPU farms or just any GPU cards or CPU could pivot to a business model that mine bitcoin when it's profitable or do computation works for companies when it's more profitable.
