Thanks. I think you're absolutely right, which is actually kind of depressing in a way.

The NPEs (patent trolls) I've seen in the news are mostly run by lawyers and I don't think they'd just back down from a lawsuit quietly. It's also pretty hard to coordinate with the other people being sued.

That said, I don't think people should give up. Even if I don't think that one idea would work, I agree that it's great to see people thinking about how to cooperate on legal defenses. In particular, things like prior art searches should be the same for everyone. So if you happen to know other people being threatened, I think it really might make sense to work together to search for prior art so that you don't all duplicate the same work.
Yum, sign me up! Meat without the animal cruelty and unsanitary conditions sounds like a win for everyone involved. It may also end up being far cheaper than 'natural' meat, due to economies of scale and fewer processing steps.

On a side note, we'll be able to have chicken grown in steak-sized and steak-textured pieces, or have a beef drumstick, or REAL turkey bacon. The future has so many cool new recipes!

You may as well say that passwords are always encrypted into ASCII code. The difference between encoding and encrypting has only to do with the difficulty of recovering plaintext. If there is no difference, there is no difference.

I think for Andrew Hsu this is a big mistake. Looks like this guy has the potential of an Einstein or Newton and his academic gifts should be nurtured to the greatest extent possible. It is the equivalent of 'eating up our own seed corn' that happened during the industrial revolutions when 12 year olds were made to work in factories!
I wouldn't dismiss the idea that Zynga is only popular because of the recession. After all, their userbase is the same as the daytime soap opera watchers - people without jobs.
Unless you have some sort of server-trusted hardware system running on the client, hashing on the client is equivalent to not hashing at all, since you cannot force a client to hash before sending a password guess.

Tell HN: domain name up for adoption - gathern.com
Hi,

I've got a domain name that I think it's cool: gathern.com

It's short (7 letters), it's pronounceable, it's a single word and it comes from "gathering" or "to gather" (well, it's also the last name of certain families :))

Originally I bought it to build a social network, but that idea is dead to me for the moment, and this domain is just rotting there. It's also up for renewal on Aug 1. So if you've got some idea to put it to good use, I would rather give it to you than to fall in the hands of domain sharks. You only have to support the cost of the transfer.

If you're interested, leave me your email (and if it isn't too much, a small description of your plans for it).

Thanks,

Completely unrelated to the topic at hand, but install a CCFL (not to be confused with CFL) bulb in it. Cold cathode florescent light. They last longer than LEDs (10,000 - 20,000 hours), use less power than LEDs (they use the same as CFLs), can be dimmed, and have no filament so they don't care about fan vibration, and are true instant on.

It boggles my mind that they have not completely pushed CFLs out of the market. But so far they are a semi-niche item. You can tell them apart because they have far more coils than a CFL, but very skinny ones (much skinnier than a CFL).
Ok, I see how my comment could have been misread. Here's my clarification:

You need take a step back and think about why it is bad that your password is stored in cleartext: if there is a security breach at site X, your login credentials can be tried on many other sites. Since people tend to use the same login/password combo everywhere, your exposure is likely much larger than your info stored at site X.

Which is why vandals/criminals covet password databases.

You seem to be under the misapprehension that the risk is that somebody will search through your email archives (or while it is in transit) and sniff passwords. IMHO, that's a trivial risk.

A tool like Pwdhash will ABSOLUTELY protect you against the "en masse password theft at website" sort of attack, which is the more serious threat.

Wikipedia implies strongly that The Chicago Manual of Style, as well as the MLA and the Bluebook, have different syntactic rules for using ellipsis within a sentence versus at the end of the sentence. That makes no sense if Retric is correct in his/her claim about ellipsis only being licit at the end of a sentence.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsis#In_English

Also, I have no CMS subscription, but here's a public-facing FAQ that seems relevant:

http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/CMS_FAQ/SpecialCharacter...

These sources appear to confirm my uneducated belief, which agrees with btilly, that ellipses may be used to mark any omission, of any size, including within a sentence or spanning sentences (wp's comment on CMOS implies omitting entire paragraphs is legal).
I don't think Weibo is a mere copy-cat of twitter. While it is a micro-blog, Weibo offers so many amazing features that make what I am describing in this post possible. On Weibo, you can have threaded conversations, track commentary on posts, embed various media formats, view media within the same window, and sort by content type. There are a lot of other features that I will talk about in a separate post, but this is all to say that communities like these can develop on Weibo precisely because of its rich features and stable platform. Weibo simply works. There are no fail Weibo jokes.
Absolutely and also, the ELB security group feature is neat as well. Can trust the X-Forwarded-For header now!

Ok, I'll bite. Why did you bin the recommendation to use a password generator along with other "baloney" using the adjective "dismissive"? I guess it was directed at my comment about PwdHash. That seems like the only thing that would protect somebody in case Newegg's password database was cracked.
To whomever downvoted, my use of the word "outraged here was in jest :-)
It's certainly not hard to find lotteries where the expected payout is above 100%.

This is true, but there's more to it. It's not so easy to find a lottery where the expected post-tax payout is above 100%, since you'll need the pre-tax expected payout to be about 160%. You also have to figure in time value of money, since all large lottery prizes pay the advertised face value as an annuity up to 20-30 years into the future, so you're paying in 2011 dollars but receiving part of the prize in 2031 or 2041 dollars. Finally, you have to be the lone winner to come out ahead, and not be splitting the jackpot with another winner.

Multiply that all together and the situation does not happen. The largest Powerball jackpot ever was $365M, which barely overcomes just the loss to taxation on the 195M to 1 odds.

I have one Google username that has a public profile and that I use for account registration etc. I have another that I use for personal email that is private.

I assume more people will start doing the same if they are privacy conscious.

Searching this database is no different to searching on Google itself. The only concern would be having a mass email list, but spammers have had those for years and filters sort that out.

I always just wanted the ycombinator on a shirt, and spreadshirt looked easy enough to use so I gave it a shot. Here's what turned out: http://wright.spreadshirt.com/men-s-heavyweight-t-shirt-A757...

I'd highly recommend spreadshirt by the way. The site was incredibly easy to use to create the shirt and storefront, and if the shirt quality is anything like the American Apparel shirts I own, it should be very good quality shirts as well.

The Theil Fellowship is a perfect example of ranking on meaningless achievements. Like you said, the perfect college essay—but I'd be willing to put money on the guess that no real innovation will come out of the program.

A real hacker doesn't polish college essays. A real hacker actually creates stuff. If they must apply to something, I think they'd be far more successful going through Y Combinator.
I really like when people get the most out of things, this is a good example of squeezing limitations and using technology in a way it wasn't meant to. This is what hacking means to me.

> On the other hand, one could argue that an XML-like language is better for GUI development because it lends itself naturally to hierarchical structures (which a GUI certainly is). And I can actually agree with this. But in that case, I would definitely keep it separated from the rest of the code. Maybe this is just me, but I prefer the concept of separation of presentation and logic.

Good point. Fortunately, that's a feature we have (and use daily). A bit harder to present in 20 loc, but we'll work out something.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yup. I'd like to add "not living with people you like". I think having social connectivity is big outside your home, but when you actually live with people you like/are peer pressured to do things within your dwelling, it is really hard to get things done.
Odd that a man who is developing a company around 'learning by play' is depriving himself of the very playground late teens need -- a time for academic, physical, and emotional exploration with little supervision and few repercussions. I wish him the best of luck though.

HTC reconsidering locked bootloaders?
After dumping my TV some years ago, there are still some problems with time. Working, commuting, exercising and eating seem to take about 15 hours in total. Now with 7-8 hours of sleep it leaves approximately 1 hour for hacking or time with other people. A bit too little, no?

Sometimes it might be possible to combine commuting and exercising, but at the moment it's not worth it, since commuting and meditation, as well as commuting and reading, are possible with public transport.

One thing I can recommend is to get a cross-trainer or exercise bike and watch some interesting stuff while exercising. Recently I've been reviewing open courseware, Clojure webcasts etc. Saves time.

I would say working less for money is the single biggest thing people can do to be more productive, or to have more time.

By far the least impressive paragraph. I have the same numbers, but thats really nothing to write home about. I would be the first to admit that test scores doesn't really show creativity or potential. While the other applicants described true achievements, I think test scores only show that one has Asian parents and buckled down for a summer and studied hard.

SAT I: 2380 (V: 790, M: 800, W: 790), SAT II: Math L2: 800, Mol. Biology: 800, Chemistry: 800, World History: 800

I really hope they put the brunt of their evaluation on the interview process - I think at 20, there isn't really enough time for a track record of doing independent things well. They have clearly shown excellence at what they have been doing, but what they have been doing as a whole seems to be on the well-worn path of education and extracurricular activities/research.

I have a theory (just a theory) that .99 pricing was introduced to prevent in house employee theft.

If an item costs $10 the till worker can pocket the money without recording the transaction. However if the product costs $9.99 the customer is due 1 cents change so the item has to be checked into the till and the purchase recorded, making an employee theft traceable as the tills will not add up at the end of the day :)
Knowing some of the person(s) on here, I'm really excited to see what will come out of their fellowships. While I remain a little skeptical of the project as a whole, for these promising individuals it's really not an end-of-the-world decision if things don't work out and they don't revolutionize the universe in 2 years; they could always go back to their usual tracks. That being said, I think that the Thiel fellowships are a good springboard such that, whatever their immediate success, they will have learned interesting skills.
