You can pay to educate kids or you can pay to police and incarcerate adults. And that's if you're otherwise willing to let them starve, and to deny them any of the myriad of other social services they'll claim.

Since we clearly do not live in a country guided by your principles, this is not a particularly valuable discussion to have in this thread. If it were a simple choice between kids not going to school and people paying extra taxes, people would overwhelmingly opt for higher taxes. Your argument thus represents Conway's opposition to stock option taxes... poorly.
2.8 is not affected. Straight from a Skype PR rep:

https://twitter.com/#!/chaimhaas/status/66652911769354240

"chaimhaas: @bradleyland @skype Nope, Skype 2.x does not have this vulnerability."

There was speculation that the vuln might have been introduced with the changes to the rendering engine used in Skype 5. It appears that this might be the case.
I just ran "Check For Updates" and it told me I was up to date and I'm on 5.1.0.914.

Reed Hastings: Netflix DVD shipments may go down this quarter
Thanks! We currently have coverage of about 200 species from the northeast US. We're focusing on expanding the coverage to the rest of the US (~500 more species)...and then the world!

We definitely want to take advantage of user contributions in some way, but we're still trying to figure out the best thing to do. Also, the app contains several very high-quality images of each species taken in a particular way by a talented group called FindingSpecies, and to keep the visual integrity of the app, we would want very similar photos for all species that we add. This might be difficult to outsource to the crowd.
Downvote? It's correct, and it's exactly what was asked for. Here's a Fiddle demonstrating it: http://jsfiddle.net/yBs5V/
Sigh... I meant to upmod, not downmod.
We've thought about flowers, but since they are present on trees for a much shorter time than leaves, it would be less useful overall. Since we're somewhat constrained in our resources (most of the work has been done on a volunteer basis), we're focusing on expanding coverage first rather than integrating additional cues for recognition (which will be a very tricky computer vision problem that will likely require a lot of effort).
Importance of Having Emergency Fund
These days, anyone can't make sure that they won’t lose their work, obtain robbed, or perhaps have to change their roof? Because of this, it’s so vital that you have an emergency fund put aside. That is funds you may get your hands on instantly.
LF Beta Testers/Mentors for SMS Startup
Hello HN,

I am doing a soft launch today with my latest web project. It is a SMS startup. I am reaching out to the HN community to ask if anyone could spare some time to help beta test. Also, I would love to have a few mentors available to be in touch with as the site progresses.

For more information, please get in touch! Thanks for your time.

Best,

Not right now, but we store the GPS with all images. Once we expand our coverage to more of the world, we will probably start using the GPS to help narrow down the list of possibilities.

However, the app does let you filter the list of species shown to "New York" or "Washington DC" or "The Northeast".

I didn't downvote, and IANAL, but I believe I know the difference.

When releasing a product with GPL/LGPL source, the requirement is to provide either the source or an offer to provide the source which corresponds to the exact version of the source code used in that product "on a medium customarily used for software interchange".

So, if there were tags in the webkit repository that said "iOS-4.3.2", "iOS-4.3.3", etc. then Apple could take a tarball of it and someone requesting source could be provided with the tarball and optionally a link to the correct tag in the repository.

However, waving in the general direction of the source repository and saying "it's all in there somewhere" doesn't constitute compliance. Even if one of the Safari versions tagged in that repository happens to be the exact source that ships in some iOS 4.x, Apple has to make that relationship clear because (AFAIK) iOS is the "product" in this case, not Mobile Safari, given that the two are indivisible from the end user's perspective.

(Again IANAL, so this is all mostly based on lurking the Gpl-Violations.org list, reading their Vendor FAQ, and dealing with some reluctanctly GPL compliant companies.)
Well, I guess I'm fucked for the future.

I'm extremely skeptical of the value of the "wisdom of crowds". On social sites, I find myself often finding value in overlooked comments or articles and, worse yet, often finding little value in the most popular comments and articles.

On technical sites, popularity again has little to do with helpfulness, although this has become probably the single greatest ranking metric in search results. For one self-promoting example, a year and a half ago I posted a fix for an annoying osCommerce 3.0 bug (http://robsheldon.com/oscommerce3fix); it never showed up in search results for queries like "oscommerce HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR". That doesn't really bother me, except that every single time I'm banging my head against some obscure problem, in the back of my mind I'm wondering how many little blogs there are out there that have posted the exact solution I'm looking for, except I just couldn't find them if my life depended on it because they aren't ... popular.

As an avid hiker and former climber, the last thing I want to do if I'm in unfamiliar territory is be directed to wherever everyone else goes. Hell, I don't even usually want that if I'm doing the tourist thing in some city.

Ugh. I'm starting to develop this really powerful sick-to-my-stomach loathing for "crowdsourcing".
Al-Awlaki targeted by U.S. military drone in Yemen

you bet. one underlying problem is the pricing model. you get "take it or leave it" packages that were negotiated by guys in suits between cable companies and content owners (who are often different units of the same business.)

as a result, you pay for Fox News when you pay for basic cable in many places, but you can't get Al Jazeera English. The consumer's got no way to say "I don't care for Spongebob Squarepants" or "I don't want my kids watching those stupid live action shows about rich kids that are on the Disney Channel" short of withdrawing from the system alltogether.

With no market discipline on the individual channels, they can keep sucking worse and worse until people eventually give up on the whole package.

This is what I'm guessing as well, but unless Apple uses heavily customized versions of WebCore for their iOS releases, this seems like a decidedly trivial violation. Doesn't excuse Apple, but hardly worth all this fuss.

Also, seriously, downvoting both GHFigs' and xentronium's comments is pretty lame, folks. (Feel free to downvote mine: I'll never see the score.)
But you cannot relicense a BSD-licensed project as GPL because only the original rights-holder can do that. You can apply the GPL on top of the BSD license because the GPL is more specific than the BSD license (ie GPL is a restricted subset of the BSD license, kinda). You must still make the original BSD-licensed code available under the BSD license.
It's not something that can be readily outsourced to "the crowd" in general but it is something that can achieved using a hierarchy of interested/invested self checking power users.

It's a similar problem to that faced by, say, open source projects that aim to maintain a certain level of code quality and style matching in contributed source code.

Google Appears To Be Testing A Sparse, Ugly New Results Page

Obtain robbed? Seriously?
One day we'll have a solid wireless option that can compete with physical lines. It will be just as disruptive as cell phones were to land lines. That's the only way you get around the massive barrier to entry that is running physical utility lines. One day.
"Competition" is a funny old concept. When we're talking about competition among telecoms, it's usually strongest in countries where the government has mandated that owners of network infrastructure must allow resale. A hands-off approach from the government gives you natural monopolies, because that initial cost of building the infrastructure is so high.

Every supermarket chain in Germany has their own branded mobile network reseller with prepaid SIM cards, and prices keep going down.
Same here. And their blog's "leave a comment" button is broken...
I would pay to educate my own kids. What you do with yours is your own business, as long as you're not abusing them. Parents do have a legal and moral obligation to provide some education to their children, and that's it.

We have universal education. Why do some of these students still go on to adopt criminal lives at the risk of going to jail? With all the money that is spent on students? All this money that wasn't spent on students over a century ago?

It's simply not true that the choice is between paying for other people's kids and paying to jail them. People have free will, and basic moral facts (such as "don't steal, don't kill, don't cheat") are discoverable without any formal education, much less the awful force-fed government school kids must attend today. (Your thinking certainly reflects the mainstream. It is no accident that these schools bear striking similarities to American prisons.)

America was once the greatest country on earth when it was guided implicitly by the principle I have outlined above (late 19th century). Since then, things have gotten worse, and just about any honest person will admit this (although they might not agree with me as to the cause). Ultimately, avoiding collapse and starvation will take nothing less than the discovery and acceptance of this moral system.
Thank you both for the feedback. I think what I'll have to do is to keep the FAQ on the site instead of at Posterous. Also, I'll try to focus the message more on the landing page.

The speed at which you would be sued would knock your socks off so hard that they would travel around the world and hit you in the back of the head just as you're putting on new socks to replace the socks that got knocked off.
Competition for the sake of competition doesn't necessarily make things cheaper. If you have to make three copies of the physical infrastructure, that's not cheap.

I've seen business plans for rural wireless internet projects and typically the economics work out if you can sign up all of the customers in an area but if you've got to split them with the phone company and a cable company you can't pay for the tower and charge an affordable rate.

Now, I know a guy who owns the patent for "virtual geosynchronous" satellites that would have about 1/3 the latency of today's satellite internet connections and drastically increase the availability of satellite bandwidth. Despite having a patent portfolio that covers many aspects of the system, he can't get to first base when it comes to finding a few $1B to build the system.

Incumbents in this space, however, are happy to keep selling satellite "fraudband" internet and hundreds of crappy TV channels.

Btw, the submission title is from his tweet announcing this blog post.
In real life, cost-benefit analysis typically works similar to business plans.

First you decide what you want to do.

Then you write up a case supporting that. In doing so, you make lots of wild guesses and make sure that + ones use the high side of the guestimate range, and - ones use the low side of the range.

Remember, there was a business case and cost benefit analysis for pets.com and nearly every other internet failure that justified everything they did to investors.

This is the real limit of these analyses.

The OP gave away too much up front, and it's hard to fault the other guy (from a business perspective) for just implementing what he was given for free. He was effectively consulting with no contract or compensation.

That said, it's a fairly bad-faith move to take the idea and implement it without paying for it, and if the OP can afford it, should just cut ties with the company and move on.
I'm a bit late on the reply but what you're describing is called feudalism and monarchism. It's very, very different to the relatively new trend of nationalism that has swept the globe in the last century.

I don't mean this to be insulting, it's just that nationalism is pretty fundamentally different to monarchy or feudalism which you seem to be confusing the present state of the world with.

You had it in Rome for a bit mixed with Imperialism but then it died out. Imperialism rose again, but then Nationalism rose pretty violently in opposition to it. Although it brought about Fascism it also brought about an end to Imperialism.

It's at the heart of the Napoleonic wars to WW2. There are still echoes of the struggle in the Israel/Palestine mess.

There's a lot, and I mean a hell of a lot, that's gone on in the last two centuries from the common man's point of view that has fundamentally shifted the power balance of rulers and subjects.

It's very, very different to the 'reasoning Kings and Queens used for thousands of years'.
Why don't you write a series of blogposts? That's be successful. Then, with the feedback on those, turn it into a book/site/... Keep it simple, here's what I'd like to see:

Series on doing visual design for developers.

2. fonts

3. Heavyness of text

4. Picking a color scheme

5. Buttons

6. Doing a simple but clean logo

7. Icons and small visual elements

each step really practical with lots of examples etc.

Yes, speculating i.e. talking out of your ass is offensive. It wastes everyone's time. It's a dangerous trend. Baseless speculation forms the bedrock of the vast majority of content that appears on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News. It is dangerous because it's "facty" but has no value.

You and your sanctimonious defense of people's right to spout what you admit is nonsense are part of the problem. Part of a healthy culture, whether it's our culture at large or "hacker culture" is a respect for facts and thoughtful, informed opinions based on knowledge and experience. The "victim" of my comment is pissing all over a set of ideals that we should all hold sacred.

It thoroughly depends on the use case. If someone's submitting a documentation change, I have no problem at all merging in with the merge button. It's perfect.

I think the button should be used sparingly, but I'm extremely happy that it's there.

Small changes to a non-crucial project shouldn't be that big of a deal. Bigger projects typically have a more proper master/develop branch structure, and that unstable branch is there for a reason.

Also, GitHub is often used privately by trusted teams, so merging a repo from a colleague or coworker without testing first could be proper in many situations.
