It sure doesn't look like robbery to me. Look on the bright side-- at least they are not trying to get you to pay them back money they may feel they improperly paid you for invalid clicks in the past.

i am pretty sure its a robbery. since the pending payments tab is something we have earned by displaying the ads in two months time (before they start processing our payments) , hadn't we be using them , we might have earned the same with some other ad network
I'm a Phusion Passenger developer. The goal for Phusion Passenger Standalone really is to have the command 'passenger start' Just Work(tm). After installing all required libraries, if it says it's running on port 3000 and it doesn't, then it's either a bug which we are dedicated to fix, or there might be something wrong with your system.

The 'file-tail' thing is actually a bug (we should no longer have a requirement on file-tail). We've already fixed it in git master 3 days ago and the fix will be released very soon.

Can you give me some more details about the 403 error? Do you see anything in the console or in the browser window that tells you more about the error?
If instead of investing into cryonics you invest time, effort, and money into extending your life span by one year -- that would increase your chances of living long enough to have life extension technologies developed.
The chance of it is small, but still much better, than almost zero chance of ever surviving through cryonics procedure.
You are right about the bug, I should check whether the terminal applescript interface allows changing the theme of a named session.

I think 37signals counts as a reasonably reputable source if you're a Rails developer.
This wasn't in the WSJ proper; it's on one of their blogs. There's a considerable difference, although articles promoting books, people, startups, and even entire industries do get PR ("fluff" pieces) in every major newspaper and magazine all the time. But that's not a new phenomenon.
I spent more than a decade (from the age of about 10) learning to program from a wide variety of books, about a variety of languages. I'd written software in Basic, Pascal, C, Amiga E, ARexx, and assembly. It wasn't until I read K&R in my mid-20s that it all actually started making sense (especially C, but everything made more sense after K&R). Up to that point, I'd been copy-paste programming, imitating, etc.

K&R is simply a brilliant programming text. It might just be the right learning model for me, and maybe others can learn as well from other books, but I'd read a dozen C programming books (all much thicker than K&R, but much less valuable) before K&R, and it never really took until K&R.
The author might have stopped and asked himself/herself: why am I complaining about something I don't have to use?

I like Quora because it has good technical features, has no concept of off-topic (and the annoying busybody moderators that come with it), and has a highly educated userbase.

Quora exists because people use it. If you don't like it, don't use it, end of.

Announce Day - YC S11 Applicants Chat on Wompt
The upside is that FB can tweak Google's nose (who has a very high opinion internally of how good they are at operational efficiency) and interest some of Google's operations folks. They get to dispell some of the mystery and disbelief at Google's efficiency claims. If Microsoft, Apple, or Amazon hasn't yet figured out 21st century data centers they give them a big eye opener so that those guys are more competitive against Google as well. (there is a reason Google abandoned shipping containers :-)

The more things they can throw at Google, especially now as the organization is digesting the CEO transition is nothing but win for Facebook.

500 Startups Demo Day: The 22 Startups Presenting
Ask HN: Would you like to work with me on some nice app?
I have an idea of a web service that will work in connection with a desktop IDE, I suppose Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, Visual Studio as they are quite popular to start with. I don't think it will have a clear business model. More than that it's not my main objective to get money. But I think it will be a nice and useful application when we get it done. So, I am a web developer, working with Python, having good experience with HTML/CSS/JavaScript and will be able to build the web app itself and make it look nice and work perfect. What I need from you is to build a plugin for the IDE that could connect to the web app we build. I am absolutely sure it will be a tiny plugin, nothing complex and I think I would be able to create it myself if I learned more about it (I read some sheets and it looks quite straightforward). But to be sure it is made right way and works perfect, as well as willing to collaborate with nice people, I offer you to take part. I can't pay for this as it's more for fun, but I am to make the whole web app and it's components open-source and place it on GitHub. Please feel free to contact me and I will send you more details. Thanks.
No you're not! It's the same security issue.

You can for example, at your network level point get.pow.cx to a malicious script and you're done. That's the security issue, it has nothing to do with the HTTP protocol.

With that being said, I don't care, the risk is the same as downloading any software via http, in fact I loved it, so easy :-).
I am being real. Even discounting some mis-steps (Kin, Zune, Vista) the incremental improvements made to Xbox, Windows, Windows Server, Visual Studio, SQL Server, and even IE9 are impressive.

It's perfectly possible for a company to be successful and innovative without having huge successes in product categories that didn't exist until recently.

From a perfectly selfish perspective, if Microsoft totally gave up on tablets, phones, search, and social. I wouldn't care or even notice because Apple, Google, and Facebook are meeting my needs nicely. Maybe it's unrealistic to expect them to just keep making the things that I use every day better and better. I don't know.
All this article says to me is that the efficiency claims are not realistic (what's new in marketing?) and that Wind can't be use for baseload power due to it's variability.

The second point is not new knowledge, so any article trumpeting these claims in red and bold is sensationalist and suspect.
I built a similar project last year, but abandoned it due to lack of business.

Just around the time I got my beta out, I discovered shiftplanning.com (they were in beta about a month before me) - I would say quality wise, my build was very similar to shiftplanning, much better than schedulefly.

The reason I ditched it was that after working with a number of local businesses, I found they always had excuses to not use it. They would say stuff like 'if you can show us our monthly labour costs, then we'll start using it'. But they weren't able to get monthly labour costs the way they used excel, so an online solution would have been better. Another request was holiday scheduling, which I did add, but still, no increase in usage. It was excuse after excuse, so I clearly think this is an area where people recognize a pain, but don't seem to care enough about it.

Along with that, my heart was not really in it (I was convinced to build it after mentioning to a friend that it was crazy how businesses were still scheduling with excel and paper, etc.etc.).

The problems aren't technical. There are LOTS of scheduling sites. I hadn't seen any of quality until I built mine, and then saw shiftplanning. Your site looks pretty good, but schedulers should be able to select a shift, rather than entering a time, as most businesses have standard shifts for their business, and then need the ability to just edit the time for specific cases, stuff like that.

In the end, I'm happy I didn't dedicate too much time to the project. Looking at the compete scores http://siteanalytics.compete.com/schedulefly.com+shiftplanni..., this just doesn't seem to be an area of interest to businesses.

ShiftPlanning is free, and they still can't get a large number of users. The problems are multiple.

1) You can likely only target small businesses or branches of a larger business. I spoke to a few chains, and they all said (surprisingly) that they don't dictate an online schedule service for their outlets.

2) It is an add-on service option for large operations like call-centers,etc which is already offered through their pbx or other systems. One business I spoke to had an add-on which came with their ERP system.

3) along with the groups I mentioned already, here's another 3 http://siteanalytics.compete.com/fendza.com+helloscheduling.... some of these guys have been at it a long time. I'll admit that I think most of these are poorly designed, but that can't be the only problem.

I don't expect you to read this comment and just give-up. That would be lame. But I do hope to open your eyes a bit, maybe you'll see another opportunity in a related space, or this comment will help you somehow.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

I don't get the AC PSUs on the servers (http://opencompute.org/servers/). Any reason why those are being used when each 6-rack group has a UPS (and batteries) connected to them? Going DC would get rid of the inverter on the UPS out and the 200 or so PSUs on each server.

I went to Ikea with my wife shortly after seeing the Scott Pilgrim movie (yes this is an important detail). We were looking for something very specific, so I looked at the map and pointed out all the little shortcut doors that look like "Employee Only" style doors, except they are not employee only. My wife made a comment that it was like the doors that appear out of nowhere in Scott Pilgrim. She had, in several years of going to Ikea, never noticed them.

Focus. Simplicity. Service. Price.

Swappa is taking on eBay for re-selling Android devices...
http://swappa.com

Focus. Only fully functional, ready to activate Android devices are allowed. Anything else is blatant fraud.

Simplicity. Only have one form to fill out to sell a device. No auctions. One price. A device is sold only when the buyer pays.

Service. An actual person checks in and helps on almost every transaction.

Price. Flat fee ($10), paid by buyer, only when a device sells. Sell a $300 device and save about $20 in fees.
Idealism aside, do you have real-life examples of such "emergent standards" that are pertinent to this discussion?

Sorry, I am not going to be dragged into an argument about recreational drug use in a thread about bogus USB drives. Nor am I going to argue the truth of an argument about bogus USB drives being a necessary side effect of this wonderful free market capitalism the US claims to enjoy.

What I claim is that making arguments about free market capitalism in light of behaviour around selling bogus USB drives is reasonable enough that it contributes positively to HN, and that while you or anyone else might disagree, such an argument does not deserve scorn.
You mean DNS spoofing. That only works if you can get a valid certificate at one of the recognized CAs. If you use a self-signed one curl will still complain unless -k is given. But then again, after the Comodo fiasco...

This really sticks with me:

"There's no version of a Higgs in any model that I know of
where the production rate would be this large," says Lane.
"It has to be something else." And Lane is confident that
he knows exactly what it is.

Just over 20 years ago, Lane, along with Fermilab physicist
Estia Eichten, predicted that experiments would see just
such a signal. Lane and Eichten were working on a theory
known as technicolour, which proposes the existence of a
fifth fundamental force in addition to the four already
known: gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and
weak nuclear forces.

20 years or longer to find out whether your theory bears fruit.

In technology, we barely look beyond the next two years because of how rapidly things change, let alone dedicating decades to chasing down a very specific idea spawned early in one's career.

I imagine the folks over at CDF are pretty high on this result right now. Here's hoping this bodes well for Fermilab's ability to secure funding for continued operations this year.

It gets a little exciting when the time changes from 09 to 10.
Does this help? http://nodenerd.net/archive
Yeah it's only simple in the sense that you can generate a packet with telnet. It's not so simple when you're trying to write a server that has to parse the stuff in a correct and secure manner.
That doesn't get around the fact that the police would likely want a password in useable form, that is, something they can log in with. If you're storing something in that form, it's functionally plaintext and subject to all of the issues associated therewith. Hashing it then building in a workaround is like putting a deadbolt on your door but leaving your window open. A compromised database would have the same effect with your solution that it would with passwords stored in plaintext.
He's being downvoted for either not reading or willfully ignoring the comment he replied to. There wasn't even a question in the first place. I'm not sure why you think expecting people to at least read before replying is a Redditism, and I don't see how linking to the definition of a word is supposed to excuse it. It was a pretty objectively poor answer.

Abtin, great job on Wompt. I'm pretty impressed that you're running Wompt on the EC2 free tier. What is your CPU utilization at?
I don't have an answer, but I have questions that may help you get to an answer:

a. If the job only lasted for six months for a year because you hated it, how many of your clients would come back to you?

b. It sounds like money isn't the issue: Honestly if you don't have your health you don't have anything. And if a relationship falls apart you can't fix that like code.

c. How passionate are you about the side businesses? Having the full time job may not stop you from building a passive business on the side. As someone who babysits clients all day long I'd envy that opportunity myself.

d. Forget the money — the people you'll be working with: Are they folks you want to hang out with? Will you learn something? Do you connect with them?

Other thoughts:

a. Even if someone tells you that a job is 9 to 5pm that may not be the case in reality.

b. IMHO 7 years is early in a career: Even if you go back to your own biz you may bring something of the job experience with you

c. Don't be afraid of making a mistake!
Agreed. The command made me nervous until I saw the 37signals logo. After that, I didn't think twice.
it just an estimate. The motor reaction in my case is taking most of the time, around 0.2s. So the rest is the time it takes to see and identify. It is also pretty compatible with basic estimates : 10-20ms for several layers of neurons in primary visual cortex signal processing and about the same for several layers in the upper layer.
I agree leadership, culture, and politics are bigger problems than geography, but it's still an issue.

Sniping younger people from MSFT is sometimes trivially easy because of its remote location in Redmond - surrounded almost exclusively by nice, quiet suburbs. I know a lot of MSFTies braving the commute across the lake daily (1-1.5h each way!), but people get tired of it fast, and by and large the young want to live on the west side, in the city proper, not out in the 'burbs.

There's a reason why Google is now in Fremont, Facebook is downtown by the Market... I know personally (and some others who feel the same way) that there's not a chance I'll take a commute over the lake every day, and likewise no chance I'll live on the east side.

Ask HN: Where to find web 2.0 graphic designers?
Hi HN, I know most people here are programmers, and also sorry to use the term web 2.0 if that offends anyone. I've been having a hard time finding a part time graphic designer who can design clean, stylish stuff. Most of the portfolios that I get back from sites like craigslist are very old school, they look like they're from templates. Here's a random example of one I consider to be pretty good: http://www.zennaware.com/cornerstone/index.php

Can anyone recommend a place to find good graphic designers? Someone suggested that I use 99 designs or another crowdsource site to find someone I can work with, and then hire them part time. Thanks

Also if there is a better way to phrase it than "web 2.0 graphic design", please let me know. Thanks

There are also awful patterns, but I just ignore those. Finally, there's a great pattern editor, but it takes a bit of work to start creating good patterns with it.
