Not to mention that your daughter is a creative person who will solve all kinds of problems and improve the lives of the people she encounters. Sadly, theoretical "other people's children" are assumed to be dead weight who consume food and oil and do nothing else. Some people are actively misled into living harmful lives and a rare few generate their own evil motivations, but the majority simply live up to low expectations set by the people who prefer widespread contraception over births.

A startup that changed the way intelligent people view children would change the world in a much more dramatic and useful way than this contraceptive medicine.
Maybe they decided to become more diplomatic as the community has gotten larger and begun to have real impact on people's reputation. Why do you think that would just be limited to pg?

I would think HN-famous people would especially be prone to become more diplomatic as their comments began to have more impact.
Forgive my inexperience, but is it trivial to obtain the hashes to crack in the first place (windows or mac)?

I don't buy the "social interaction" stuff one bit. Most of my college friends were also my nerd friends I met from being a large city and going to tons of networking events.

If you want, put your kid up in an apartment, do tons of networking in/out of their field of interest /and mentorship. Then let them figure out what to do after: be it a company, job or college.

College is one way of making great connections, but it's a really expensive way!
Alright, I can see the case where someone doesn't habitually close it and stumbles upon a site where it is obscuring. It seems rather mild to me, but I guess I could regard that as a UX failing.

The only solutions that immediately come to mind:

A) Place the "Find on Page" box at the bottom of the window.

Advantages: It would get out of the way for the common practice of placing web UI at the top of the viewing pane. Also the tradition of putting other UI elements at the bottom (namely the download bar comes to mind) means that it wouldn't be too unfamiliar.

Drawbacks: This _would_ put it rather far from it's omnibox UI-sibling and the rest of the prefs UI, breaking some of the association for the UX. It doesn't resolve the problem of UI elements being obscured the bottom of the viewing pane.

Seen also in: I know at least Firefox does this.

B) Have the "Find on Page" UI element displace the page so as to not cover any page UI while "active"

Advantages: Won't cover UI. Potentially more room for search terms.

Drawbacks: Takes up more screen real estate.

Seen also in: I know at least Firefox does this as well.

Alright, so those are potential solutions... what I'm more interested in are the ones I _haven't_ thought of. Does anyone in the HN community have a brilliant solution for how to deal with designing a "Find on Page" UI?
Hmm. I had to look at a lot of pages before I figured out the pricing model -- first three reminders are free, and it costs you money after that.

I think it's a tricky business from a value proposition point of view. What advantage does it have over, say, Google Calendar?

When it comes to justice Saudi Arabia is not an inspiring example, I'm not interested in this perspective. Their system is stuck in the medieval era, why should we take any pride from such a comparaison ?

I'm uneasy with this kind of plastering as well, it has this "mob lynching" vibe that is often for the worst rather than the best. It appeals to our worst instincts, and you can sense that the author is angry and we are helping him to punish this guy when we look at this.

I felt dirty to be honest. If you don't believe it, ask yourself: why didn't he blur his face ? Would his message be less efficient ?
The US. Keep in mind I went to college over ~10 years ago.

From college on most women I know were on some form of birth control to the point where I assumed most women are. Post high school, condoms were never about stopping pregnancy but avoiding STDs.
This is just what happens when you have a lot of money. Money is spent inefficiently because its all relative to the revenue you're taking in.
Thread OP here. It's funny you'd bring up Switzerland as an example, because I'm actually originally from Switzerland, but have lived across the world including Switzerland, South Africa, Japan, Russia, Oakland & SF. I've had interesting experiences at some of these other places wrt. to safety etc., but that's a story for another day.

In Switzerland, though, I think it's important to keep a few things in mind when you look at the statistics, before you judge it as a heavily armed country:

- It's mandatory for every male to serve in the army, where we are all issued rifles. We get to keep the rifles at home when not on duty, and get to keep them after our duties are complete should we wish to. This makes up a huge part of the guns owned in CH. Military rifles are very hard to conceal and do not make for very good armed robbery weapons.

- While guns are common, ammunition is hard to come by. Military ammunition is only given while on-duty, and must be returned to the arsenal when not on-duty. While many people have guns, few have ammunitions.

- For almost everybody, guns remain locked in the attic / basement to be used only should the military call.

Most civil servants and people working for utilities and transportation systems (like the airlines) are going to be rule-driven people. They aren't going to be thinking outside the box or improvising.

And that's to be expected. Those that do think outside the box left the box a long time ago.

You're never going to convince a flight attendent that you can turn off the network and keep using your smart phone until one of the people who make the rules gets an iPhone and learns about the magical "airplane mode".

And it sort of should be this way. You want these people following rules, not making them up as they go. Its really the higher ups and ultimately the citizenry that need to change the way they think.
The second most remarkable thing about New York's zero-tolerance policing is how well it worked.

The most remarkable thing about it is how few other places have tried it since.
I've always wanted a search engine that is optimized for searching for code embedded in web pages. AFAIK google code search isn't really an option because it only searches through code, not through blog posts, stack overflow, and other pages with code in them.

As far as language design goes though, I'd rather use a language that's optimized for writing code than for searching for it :).
I started playing with it because I always thought Yahoo Pipes was cool but a bit heavy-handed for light things - and I've found myself going back to add more and more tasks. Plenty of services provide some of the functionality (Twitter alerts, etc), but require a separate signup or new login, while ifttt is flexible enough to take care of tons of different cases.

Some of my recently created tasks and the holes they plug:

* RSS feeds that aren't fine-grained enough for my needs
(if there's a new item in The Atlantic's Entertainment RSS feed that matches "Game of Thrones," then email it to me)

* RSS feeds that I want to be updated about ASAP, but don't want to have to sign up for
(if there's a new item for an eBay search I care about, then send me a message via GTalk)

* Lightweight Twitter alerts
(if there's a new tweet that mentions X, then send me a message via GTalk)

Other cool examples of ifttt flows:

This is a FAQ: for your first sale, you sacrifice the price (all the way down to free if you have to). For the next sales, you show your reference customer.
Pretty cute, easy to signup and get going. But now, it's spamming me lots of confirmation code even though I've already confirmed the first one and got access to my control panel!
It's hard to say. Microsoft can push out new products with splashy announcements, TV ads, etc. Similarly, they can afford to do "proper engineering" these days. But Microsoft as a startup, and as a growing company, was extremely unscrupulous. Likewise, the majority of the "scrappy" web startups cheat on their tech and cheat on their marketing, in the hope that they can find traction before they lose goodwill, and get profitable so that they can go back and fix the system before it blows up.

On a personal level this is very frustrating, because we like everyone we know to behave in a honest and straightforward fashion. But from a business standpoint there is a huge tradition of using some amount of misdirection to push new products to people. Parallels can be made with the animal kingdom and the use of camouflage, bright colors, and social interactions. Sometimes your business is in a position to strut your stuff, because you're the lion in the room. Other times you have to sneak around or be deceptive. Sometimes, fragile, trust-breaking tactics work - at least for a time.

In the end, the real condemnation for this behavior has to come from yourself, not from others. The market sees what is in front of it at the moment; it rarely knows the truth.
Why doesn't and didn't craigslist check for the almost identical emails if they are going through their servers? They could likely dig them out if they keep archives by searching on airbnb, nicest, largest, page, views. Airbnb have the funds now to cough up.
There's my own convenience. I want to see where I'm at. The address also often contains information not reflected in/on the page itself.

Then there's the average user. They don't constantly, instantly adapt. It's taken us time and effort to train our parents, friends, coworkers, etc. how to examine addresses for useful clues. E.g. Is my connection secure? Is this really the server I want to reach?

There are security paradigms that have taken considerable time and effort to establish in the public's mind.

Now some designers decide they want -- need -- to toss this for the sake of 30 pixels and a notion of "visual purity". Without, in Chrome's case, even an option to make the control visible if we so choose. (Although, as I understand the current situation, it will still appear in some kind of hover presentation.)

Some may think it looks all shiny. For me, it makes my life harder.

I catch myself feeling that way, too, but it is uncharitable and inaccurate. They do work a lot of work on developing the language. The issue is that sometimes their idea of what is should be differs from the idea that most people have.

I wonder if TwitPic's motivation for striking the controversial deal with World Entertainment News Network was to mitigate the big drop in ad revenue they will see if Twitter launches their own photo service.

Somebody who delivers sh*t that works, on time and under budget. The code is robust and can be maintained, with extra points and gratitude if it's well-documented. Oh, and said code both scratches an itch and solves an important customer problem.

As Joel said: Smart, and Gets Things Done.
Even for phones, don't most people have pincodes and automatic lockout after some time of inactivity? Stolen phone is useless without cracking that and probably reflashing.

Of course if you do have a tracking program you might leave the device otherwise unprotected to discourage reformats.
Chrome seems to remember passwords just fine for me on Windows 7. But I don't like the fact that you can't set a master password. Yes, I understand that storing password in the browser is not exactly full of win. So I only use it for non-critical stuff, but I still don't want all that non-critical stuff open to anyone who sits down at my PC. It get's worse if you sync passwords between two devices. When some dude steals your laptop all of a sudden he has easy access to your Facebook, Twitter and HN goodness. Ouch.
Sure, but the story is from a year and half ago.

or because when you started off on HN you didn't think too much of it, so you picked a stupid name...like latch...and now you wish it was better tied to your other online identities (twitter...github...).

But no, you can't. It's the key to all your data (not that this is insurmountable, mind you).

I don't think it's possible to be too uncharitable about the developers of PHP. Courtesy demands that we give them the benefit of the doubt; but by this stage there is very little doubt left, so very little benefit as well.
Obviously there's an exception to every rule, but I'm pretty sure statistics is heavily skewed to the likelihood of surviving an altercation involving a hammer over a gun. Just saying. It's pretty easy to sidestep a hammer.
Sorry Tsuipen, I don't follow your rant:

"Thus, the statement "Buenos Aires is not particularly representative of Latin America, it's more like a hybrid between LatAm and Europe" is wrong because most of Latin America includes Europe in its transculturation, acculturation, syncretism, miscegenation and hybridity."

If you travel to different Latin American countries you'll realize the difference beyond any forced formalization/logic of a statement.
I second that. What scares me the most is that no one from AirBnB came on that thread to strongly deny this article. And you know they read HN a lot and post often.

So I'm sad.
Gruber posted about this here: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2011/05/31/twitter-ios-5

I have a feeling that what Gruber is hinting at is the possibility that iOS 5 will provide an API for services/apps to hook into that level of the OS, meaning it wouldn't be limited to Twitter.
Can you imagine what PHP would be like if the developers insisted on pandering to the lowest common denominator like that?

Oh, wait...
Though they surely have some loyal users maybe there's not as much of a market for a front-end to Adwords to make sense continuing the product?

Speaking to easy hashes (NTLM, MD5, OpenLDAP SHA, etc.)

One through four brute force is extremely trivial. A single core CPU will do all those in less than a minute. Five (all combinations... the entire space) in less than an hour.

Modern GPUs can enumerate the entire six char space within a day or so. Some GPUs can enumerate the seven char space in a few days. Complete enumeration begins to get infeasible when you get into the eight char space. This is basically why CPUs are still viable. Speed won't get you nearly as far as intelligence will (append stuff onto the end of words). Nothing against speed here and if it was a pure enumeration race, then no doubt, go with GPUs.

Edit: When I say "entire space" I mean the entire printable ASCII character set.

Edit2: It's rather simple to calculate too. 95 printable ASCII chars to the power of the password length. So, to enumerate the four char space, it's 95^4 (81,450,625). You can "do the math" for any lenght password. But you'll see that when you hit eight chars (6,634,204,312,890,625) that even GPUs (which can do billions of hashes a second) have to be smart and not just fast.
Hi Nick, thanks for the kind words! It's running on LAMP. I did not use the Twilio API, although I am planning on using them later to enable BetterYoo to receive text messages. So far, I built it all myself.
With inflation you're constantly bargaining salaries.

Also, the unions push hard for yearly increases in salaries.
Image boundary detection algorithm made 50,000 times more efficient
I generally use a text file - the most important thing for me is being able to store notes quickly and hierarchically, without worrying about whether I'm logged in or how to insert an item between two other items.

I think my perfect program would be something that lets me edit notes as a plain-text document (any time, not just initially), and then automatically versions it, timestamps rows, and adds whatever markup it wants.

I guess I'd just want a gui wrapped around a VCS.
Broken windows theory has its share of criticism. In Tipping Point (or maybe it was one of his others, or freakonomics), they are able to connect the drop in crime rates with both the legalization of abortion and/or the banishment of leaded gasoline. Point being, it's nearly impossible to separate causality in sociological phenomenon.

Sue them for what, exactly? Coincidence?

While it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what's happening here, it takes a bit more than connecting the dots to make a legal case stick.

[EDIT] Just to be clear I'm certainly not a fan of this. It strikes me as unethical and a little low on the "sleazy marketer" scale. I don't however beleive that this is illegal unless you can somehow prove that JillSmith03@gmail.com is professionally connected to AirBnB, and that this was done under corporate directive.
I would give up hope for the ability to have a short syntax for arrays (or lots of other syntactical pleasantries) if the core team would please finally implement named arguments.

Did the movie really contain genetic claims? I took the sequence at the beginning to be more a criticism of Cleavon's cultural traits. (example: "I thought you was on the pill or some shit!") In fact, most of the movie's humor centered around a downward cultural slide. Kids do pick up their parents memes more readily, after all.
Frankly, I agree with you on the tricky aspect. I knew it was a competitive space when I started. Ultimately, I hope ease of use and good customer experience will be our strong point. I wouldn't try to set my Grandma up with Google Calendar, but I already have her using BetterYoo xD
So you are saying Google should decide what is crapware and what isn't? The only thing I think that needs to happen is they change the ranking algorithm for search so it's easier to find the real app, not that I ever have any problem with that.

All the press I'm finding re malicious apps is the ones saying Google has removed them, as they should. If you know any more that haven't been removed I suggest you report them.
Maybe they use a whitelist instead of a blacklist? that would be a pretty ridiculous whitelist though.
Magic, a "new" ORM
You can use your regular normalization tactics (has_many, belongs_to, has_many_and_belongs_to_many, etc.) with MongoDB, too. You could treat it like a MySQL/PostgreSQL that simply allows arbitrarily nested/embedded documents if you need them. The flexibility is great. Check the video I linked.

And, no, SQL is not awesome. It's painful and not implemented the same way everywhere. Fortunately, we don't really have to write too much of it nowadays.
Google already uses signals from the Facebook Like button and Twitter tweets to increase site rankings, give them a little more credit!
Do you know what else is scummy? Writing a smear webpage about a competitor complete with intrigue involving leet "black hat software" and linking that page to your for-profit clone (mimbeo.com). For all we know this dude falsified the AirBnB e-mails himself just to make them look bad.
That sounds a lot like etherpad... but I'm not too sure how the offline editing would work.

On second thought, maybe dropbox and a text editor would work better...
US is a very different country. I am not saying better or worst, just can't compare them.

Argentina is completely corrupt. You can bribe a policeman in the street, you can bribe the customs personnel while everyone is there. Justice?

Actually the best current evidence is that acupuncture does bring real pain relief: http://www.umm.edu/news/releases/back_pain.htm

That said, most of its relieving effect is due to the placebo effect, and there is no evidence saying that it can do anything for you other than possibly reduce pain.

Well, I'll be sure to include you along with AirBnb on my list of "People you cannot trust to be ethical".
You can't search for -1 either. Are they going to switch to negate_number(ONE, true) for people who haven't learned that syntax?

(The "true" causes the value to be returned rather than printed, obviously.)
Probably for safe-harbor laws. As soon as they start inspecting things for content instead of server abuse, they are then way more involved and become liable for a lot more shit. They already got a lot of heat from their adult services section, they don't need any more. It's the same reason banks do not want to know what is in your safe deposit box, even if it's mundane.
