The first two are part of the reason why I hate using Windows at work.

The fact that you cannot drag files to their icons and have that file opened in the application seems like something out of the past.

To scroll a window in Windows, the window needs to have focus. To scroll a scroll pane in an active window, that pane needs to have focus -- it is maddening especially when hover events work for non-focused windows and panes.

I could go on and on, but this isn't a Windows hatefest.

So $25 is the value you place on your attention over the lifetime of owning a Kindle?

That's kind of low, isn't it?

Woah, couldn't they at least try to sell it?
How much would a typical ~500MW coal-fired plant cost to build and operate (including cost of coal over the lifespan of the plant)? No sarcasm, I’m interested :)
Sorry that a single Bitcoin link each three days exhausts you. It's been two weeks since my last blog post or submission here. You know why? Because it takes two weeks to put together anything worth reading.

The fact that Gavin was asked (and answered) many of the questions HN-ers have had about escrow and wallet security shows your bias. If having the word "Bitcoin" in the title offends you somehow, please take the time to read what you're bashing so that you can critique it here.
But is it harder than working with/under somebody that's way better than you - in "the real world"?
Yes, I've certainly studied the suggestions made in those comments. This design document represents a sharp change in design.
The only thing to worry about is student loans; you typically have to start paying them back 6-12 months after dropping out.

In general, though, you're right. The credits at my university are good for 11 years (after you stop going.)
Most of [the entrepreneurs] described themselves in similar terms: impatient, short on focus, easily frustrated, likely to jump in and solve a problem rather than count on the employee to do it.

I manage a team in my day job, and I still feel like this a lot of the time my team is delivering (even when they're doing a good job). I wonder what that says about me..?
So for $25 less, they get to display advertisements for (presumably) the lifetime of the device? No thank you, that's a terrible deal!

Though the hacker in me wonders how long it would take someone to remove/disable the ads. Modified firmware, maybe?

99.9% sure these are fake. The UI style doesn't match recent or new Microsoft design trends (what is with that menu bar?), and the text and details are just weird (Office's category as "Efficiency"?

I'm not talking about the App Store from a marketing point of view.

I'm talking about the App Store as a world-wide, easy to use credit card processor.

It is non-trivial (technically, legally) to implement credit card handlind yourself, especially the further you are from the US. Also, people will never trust a small player as much as they trust Apple.

So, Apple takes care of a lot of international red tape for you, for $99/year.
Because, it'll eventually have enough sponsorship that it can be free and once it's free, public schools can utilize it and even get discounted text books for the students.

After recently reading that Vostok 1 was not designed for a soft landing and that Gagarin had to eject and parachute during re-entry, I realized that a Soviet Union centered version of The Right Stuff could make a compelling story.
Interesting idea. As a side note, I'm 40 and I've seen an actual slide rule exactly once, a few years ago, and I haven't got the slightest idea on how to operate one.
I think it's largely impossible for him to sift through this data accurately. Who is to say that diff people didn't share something vs liking it? Also he makes it seem as if the news sites are falsely reoresenting their content popularity when all they are doing is presenting a fb social widget.

That's insane. I would never want to work in a country with laws like that.

Market rate is based on what something worth, not what it costs or what it previously cost so there is no reason for a company to need to know what you previously made.

Having said that, couldn't you just change your terminology and say "package" instead of "salary", then if there is a discrepancy you could say "well, a portion of the package was year end bonus which I obviously didn't get this year..."
Try to tease out parts of the project that you can actually complete and get some feedback on. Feedback is one of the most important requirements for getting better, and the feedback on a completed sub-project is always going to be better than that on a project that is still being worked on. Not to mention that clearly finishing even parts of the project is helpful to morale.
My first thought is "OK, now put down the bong".

Pulsus - a game of particles
I use spotlight for all kinds of math (12 / 4) * (44 + 35) etc

Command + c will copy the highlighted spotlight result.

Expose (show all windows) and drag and drop files to that window (i grab the file, while dragging show all windows by either a keybord key or hot corner and drop it to the new window)

Hold down command to move around background windows without giving it focus.

Ctrl + (arrows or numbers) to go to certain spaces.

While in spaces expose, hold down ctrl to move all of the windows of a certain application to another space.

Hold down a window's titlebar while switching spaces to move that window to the new space.

Drag folders that you frequent into the left side of finder. I have /private/etc in mine

Hold down command while clicking or pressing enter on a spotlight result will open its containing folder.

How did I forget about keyboard modifiers by holding down the alt key.

Drag a file/folder to terminal to get the path to that file printed in terminal. so I often type "cd " and then drag folder to get there

While switching apps via command+tab you can let tab go and either hide the application by pressing h or quit it by pressing q (I wish that you could minimize it by pressing m). You can also cycle backwards by pressing tilde (this only works if youre already command+tabbing) or shift+tab

* Gone from snow leopard, but i miss it* there used to be a keyboard shortcut (command, option, ctrl space) that opened a list of your last accessed files (i mistakenly found a bunch of porn website cookies on an intern's laptop once). This used to be useful to see which files you needed to upload /ftp.

Dealing with ads seems like a small price to pay for someone who could truly benefit from the device and not otherwise own one, but if you can afford $114 for an e-reader, you can probably afford $139. If it was free (and once they get enough sponsors, perhaps it will be), it could potentially benefit a great number of people and at that price, it's hard to argue with it (even if you and I would not personally want to trade $139 in return for advertising).

Ask HN: Why are new users highlighted in green?
Well not that we actually use it because we are a .net studio here but, the version of Dreamweaver in the packages has to be updated at least once a year to take into account new standards etc. Obviously when the web switched from tables to div's then Dreamweaver had a lot of changes to make also.

I think you are right regarding the Illustrator issue though, I still have CS2 on my machine and I don't think there has been a noticable change up to CS5, that might be why its one of the cheaper subscriptions??

Photoshop is constantly changing in my eyes, they introduced the 3d tool 2 versions ago and I would imagine they spend the next few versions perfecting it. At that point they introduce another big feature.

I think a lot of the time the upgrades are non essential though and are just a money spinner. Apple do it though once a year but they only charge a nominal fee for their software. Microsoft do it every few years but they are a rip off.

I know that if I was a Freelancer and my software was not covered by the company then I would be more inclined to go down this route than downloading it. I don't know many freelancers that start up and can afford the latest version of any of Adobe's products. They are the industry standard and they have people by the balls, this way they can try to get potential illegal downloaders interested.
There are number of biographies of women CEOs that mention that this is a huge problem issue for women. They consistently forget to negotiate for their salaries since they consider it poor form and confrontational.

However the simplest come back after a salary offer:
please let me consider it.

Then a day later or after some thought, reiterate the value you will be bringing to meet and exceed with their expectations/plans, then say:
Is that the best you can do?

Then shut up and wait.

I tried this once. It was easier than I thought.

Money is temporary. The experience, the people, the company culture, their mission, and growth are more important to be than money, in general. They are priceless facets.

However for most people a job is a job. As someone said the skill that they value the most and are at expert level at is apathy.

Also Jeffrey Fox says always go for salary - it is what everyone uses to measure your value and that is what they value so....to each their own.

Are you after a job or are you trying to creating a future for yourself?

I remember a recruiter told me to take the job that was not able to outbid for me in a bidding war. I thought that was odd. As she said, these people loved you and they are a established profitable company. The others are startups, that are just looking for just in time body and never mentioned why they valued me. I went with the money, actually I went with the technology because it was sweet - stupid mistake. I wished I listened to her.

Money has marginal utility for me. After a certain amount I do not care. Isn't that ultimately made me the geek I am, spending time on things that others saw very little social value?
If you look around you might find you can have all that plus more money. You only live one time, I wouldn't sell myself short if I were you.
If they use the wording "recommend this" and not "liked this" then I expect sharing and liking (but perhaps not commenting on) an article to constitute as recommending it.

Rosenberg's values From The Meaning of Open:

>Open information means that when we have information about users we use it to provide something that is valuable to them, we are transparent about what information we have about them, and we give them ultimate control over their information. These are the things we should be doing. In many cases we aren't there, but I hope that with this note we can start working to close the gap between reality and aspiration.

My world is upside down. I hope I don't find out today that LinkedIn recommendations aren't accurate.
If you do that, you have to be very careful. I actually did a writeup about this a few days ago that I posted on HN: https://nealpoole.com/blog/2011/04/setting-up-php-fastcgi-an...

tl:dr is that the configuration you're suggesting will leave a site open to arbitrary code execution if the site allows for user uploads.

It says you're probably deluded... :-)

Seriously, I thought the same at one time...until I did a 360. Turns out the team could have been performing a lot better, and that some people were really frustrated.
Did you never hear the phrase "killer app"?
Higher probability of a new user spamming the site I'd imagine. This allows users to notice spammers easier and flag them.
How To Make A Realistic Flammable Barrel
Firstly, this is a blog post from December 2009 so not quite 'news'.

Secondly, if the point of this was to help inspire people when creating their own logo's then why link to an arbitrary page in the middle of their A-Z collection when there is a specific page dedicated to this: http://abduzeedo.com/tags/logo

Thirdly, tangentially, what is it about the use of the word 'cleverest' that makes me cringe?!
Was my exact sentiment too. I want the two minutes of my life back.

If you buy Microsoft software outside the US, you'll be talking to Microsoft Ireland, even if you are in the UK and the software you bought was fully developed in the UK (or in the US).

Either way, the only reason to do that for Microsoft is because of Ireland's tax.

And, if you follow the stock market, you'll see that many companies raise money by selling bonds backed up by money which will pay 30% to be repatriated (if they need to give it back), without taking those 30% into account.

Many of them are betting on a "repatriation holiday". And they're probably going to get one because they own the legislation.
I don't see too big of a problem with it regardless. If you spend your time liking, sharing, or commenting on something there is obviously an 'emotional' response to it. As long as FB doesn't start saying 'your friend x' likes this, when in fact they posted a comment disagreeing there isn't a huge problem. Even then I think the fact that it created a response of some sort is a 'like', atleast in the sense people I see use the like button..
a 180?

a 360 would put you right back where you started.
That's a good idea. (I am writing Chrysalis/Stencil). The current design is that there is a code-generator that outputs javascript which can be run on either side. But outputting Lua instead for the server-side would seem possible.

I know my comments questioning the background of parents for young startup successes was roundly criticized here a few days ago, but I can't help but bring up those points whenever I see articles like this which substantiate my assertions.

"I was surrounded by tech everyday for so long that I gained a natural interest for it," said Daniel Brusilovsky, an 18-year-old from San Mateo, California, whose upbringing by a software-manager father and Oracle Corp. veteran mother led him to found two startups before he was old enough to vote.

We tend to forget that most of the successes where the "founder" is very young seem to be attributable to parents with significantly more resources than the average person or who are in the industry and have resources and/or also connections.

I don't intend to dismiss the accomplishments of people like this, but these reports often try to present a case that young people are succeeding left and right in ideas simply because of technological advances and easier access to a computer. They don't often seem to make more than a glancing nod toward the fact that the parents are there to provide financial resources to get them started. Or in some cases, connections to get them started and skip ahead of the hurdles other children that you don't hear stories about would encounter.

I'd be more interested in stories where the kid isn't from a family where dad is a wealthy lawyer and the kid has a sure thing at a prominent university ahead of him and where the kid's mom and dad aren't professionals in the industry that are available to encourage, advise, support, and assist on behalf of their child. I'd be more interested in the seeming lack of stories where the kid with an absentee dad and a mom on welfare or toiling in a minimum wage job to provide for them and their siblings while attending a mediocre public school who has no mentor or support or resources creates the next Facebook or Windows or Angry Birds.

Depends on the company. A lot of companies will have must-get-CEO-involved-for-exceptions style caps on raises under any situation, so moving to a different part of the company still puts you with a max possible raise. The new team will also know everything about your previous conditions, making negotiation harder.
Great news. Excellent work by the nginx team. I'll second (or third) others by being surprised that it wasn't already at the 1.0.0 milestone!
Thanks for the links. The statistics on latency distribution are quite impressive, to say the least.

Why do you say that stratified b-trees don't need Bloom filters? Yes, the improved merging discipline reduces the number of arrays to read, but presumably there is often >1 array, which is sufficient to make Bloom filters desirable. Even if you only have two arrays, doubling the number of random I/Os per key lookup is easily enough of a penalty to make Bloom filters worthwhile. The paper itself seems to indicate that Bloom filters are used:

"In the simplest construction, we embed into each array a B-tree and maintain a Bloom ﬁlter on the set of keys in each array. A lookup for version v involves querying the Bloom ﬁlter for each array tagged with version v, then performing a B-tree walk on those arrays matching the ﬁlter."
1) Bob was hired prior to the minimum being enacted and no one has noticed.

2) Bob has fallen into a special case in our accounting package (e.g. "joined company through acquisition"), causing his salary to be marked "exempt from standard rules", and his manager has not been diligent with raising it to the company norms.

3) #2, but manager knew what was happening and did nothing to correct it anyway. Bob never complained, after all, and it made manager's budgets easier to balance.

4) No individual human anywhere in the corporation is responsible for evaluating Bob's compensation. Whoops. He's an orphaned node on the org chart because he was assigned to division A but expensed to B for the duration of a project which has since been canceled, was informally lent to C, but nobody told A yet, C doesn't expect him on their books, and B was eliminated in a reorg last year.

5) #4, except it is more severe: no one is in charge of reviewing Bob's salary because no one knows Bob exists. (This one is funny folklore... until it isn't.)

6) Hiring manager is citing a policy which does not exist and has never existed. This entire thread is based on a mistaken premise to begin with.

7) Hiring manager is citing a policy which exists for all Systems Engineers but Bob is classified as a Programmer: Systems (II) by manager Dave in 1997. P:S(II) was deprecated in 2002 -- didn't you get the memo, Dave?

8) #7. Dave didn't get the memo because he died in 2001.
Imagine if they had bothered to put an ethernet jack on it, or wifi in it, or made it time-lapse capable out of the box. Or made the whole thing USB-stick-sized. There are so many things you can do with cheap cameras that you can't do with an expensive camera phone - the problem here is a total lack of vision.

(and yeah, I'm aware of IP cams, and their wretched ActiveX-only interfaces, and their price range, and they don't fill the spaces I'm talking about).

Size Worldwide, Sorry Asian Dudes
Love it or hate it, size does matter. Yeah, yeah I have heard the saying; “It’s not about the size of the boat but the motion of the ocean”. But let’s face it. There has to be something there about the size. How do you expect her to have fun playing with ping pong ball in a basketball court?

Here are the stats;
I've too noticed that they aggregate 'button clicked likes', comments and shares as overall 'likes'. However, I just assumed that their logic is that if someone posts a comment or shares the link, they're 'liking' it.
