My experience is the same as both of you except I don't really count where I was born as my identity. It informs and effects my actions but I try to choose where I live based on where I can have the best quality of life.

Yes. $1$salt$ciphered-text

The $1 is for MD5, the salt includes that $1 and the last $, so to crypt the text in php you do crypt($password, '$1$salt$'). Use single quotes to prevent $ from turning into variables. $password in this case (according to mtgox) was md5('password string').
Hi HN,

This is the MVP for Shoptimate.fr / Shoptimate.com, the project I've been working on lately. My goal is to make price comparison pain-free. The first step is this Chrome extension to compare prices while you shop and tell you if the same product can be found at a better price somewhere else. Monetization is obviously made with affiliate commissions.

I'm focusing on France for the moment and Shoptimate will support more shops in the future and other cool features.

I conceded your point before you wasted your time arguing it. Past that point, you've really nothing interesting to say.

Sadly, I am more than familiar with the general quality of people's reading comprehension. Perhaps it is too much to expect that someone reads something and understands it before formulating an opinion about it.

By the way, statements like this

Your outrage contradicts findings in research.

are curious as well. My "outrage" (disappointment, really) is a sentiment, not a proposition. Which raises an interesting question--you criticize a metaphor, essentially a parable, by attacking its literal and logical truth, while spouting logical nonsense of your own. I criticize your logic, and you fall back to...what, exactly?

Incidentally, there's no proof either way whether you downvoted me or not, but I will take you at your word and disregard the circumstantial evidence otherwise.
I never really understood why people lie about their site in order to gain users. I mean, you can't fool them for very long, so your opportunity for whatever you plan is has to be very quick.

The only thing I can think is that they expect to earn a lot of money real quick to help fund development... But I really can't see that working.
Facts about laser Hair Removal cost
Before calculating laser hair removal cost it is necessary to know that the laser hair removal cost depend upon many factors which mainly includes:

2.Body Hair Density and the

3.Area Of The Body for which you are going for the treatment.

For comparison, the CEO of the American Red Cross has an annual salary of $500k.

I don't think this is a relevant metric at all for judging a non-profit's goals or performance. There is a certain point where the organization has become so big or important that any person whom the stakeholders can trust to run it will command a high salary.
I thought they implemented game network code, scalably. That would be cool. So I was a little bit disappointed when read that they only keep stats using Erlang.

The majority is actually not as overwhelming as it appears at first sight if you think of people like Linus Torvalds, Guido van Rossum or Bjarne Stroustrup.

BUT, I think most IT folks who are not natively anglophone have wholeheartedly embraced the english language as the lingua franca of the industry and of science in general. The practical advantages of having such a lingua franca are simply overwhelming, and I really think that any step towards localization is a step backwards for everybody.
ICANN Approves New Top-Level Domain Names
The ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) Board today at the International pow-wow in Singapore gave the final approval to the most significant change to the Internet in four decades by allowing the expansion of Top-Level Domains (TLDs). This decision will allow companies, business, organization and even places to have there own brand turn into domain name extensions. So you can see domains’ with extension .tata, .infosys, .kochi, .delhi and soon.
But these guys have webcam, chat, games, classifieds and ... much more! :-)

I was really busy leading up to the contest, so I had to cut back on a lot of the features I wanted in order to hit the deadline. I will be working on adding a more visualisations and detail as quickly as I can.
The average user types 'facebook' and through the magic of browser search gets to Facebook.com already. This just cuts out one step.
If you already have your .com then you don't need new TLDs. But .aero may come in handy the next time someone wants to start a new airline (which is admittedly pretty rare, so .aero in particular was probably a dumb idea).

I think the succesful gTLDs will be the ones that appear commonly in trademarks like photo, pizza, sports, mart, lube, etc. It may become much more common for the domain to be the primary trademark, even for businesses that aren't particularly internet related. Fredspizza.com would be a confusing name for a restaurant but Freds.pizza less so.
As I've stated several times, my site doesn't store any details like these, it uses OpenInviter, they authenticate the credentials, pull back the list of contacts, I process the list of contacts and check it against the database of EXISTING hacked email addresses. The credentials you supply and the email addresses I pull back are NOT stored anywhere.

Secondly, just to reiterate, I am not the original perpetrator of the hack. If you do as I've said below, and as a comment on the original post and check my blog and twitter account, you'll see that I am a respected member of the development community, a family man and the CTO of a development company. So please get your facts straight before accusing me of anything.
It's Not A Redesign If You Don't Cut Features
When we get stories like this that get repeated multiple times on Hacker News (a few others spring to mind recently) it's a minor annoyance if you're an ardent HN reader but a significant indicator of what HN readers really find interesting on the whole since it's getting voted up each time by a different subset of users who hadn't seen it before.

Things involving novel presentations of algorithms and well presented 'undry' academic papers seem to do very well in this regard..
I suppose the right thing would be for the system to identify England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland as United Kingdom "States". Ideally that should apply to other places and islands like Corsica (France), Sicily (Italy), Mallorca (Spain), etc.
And yet, perhaps because of the reasons mentioned, having a Government job is in many ways an embarrassment in this country.

Some Latin phrases and abbreviations should now be considered part of the English language.

Of course that means that their meaning is (in principle) decoupled from what they used to mean in Latin, and maybe one day it will be obviously correct to say that one meaning of "i.e." in English is "for example". But that day is not yet.
Didn't seem to get it, you can always try @cameronsmith on twitter.
Doesn't sound like a failure at all; you navigate using Google. I would assume this is typically where their traffic comes from. With that being the case it might as well not have a TLD at all; it's all but invisible to the user. The domain could very well have been .aero and you still would have navigated to it successfully. Isn't that all that matters?

Yes. The comment score is queried from HNSearch's API. This extension was my submission to the HNSearch API contest under the name "HN Reveal":

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2672793

Now, since the beginning of the API contest announcement, HNSearch's API does not reveal score for comments that are less than 5 days old. After studying the API, I figured out a way to bypass this restriction. If you construct a faceted query for the "points" field with a search query that is narrow enough to get exactly 1 hit, the facet result will reveal the vote score for that comment (e.g. "9 points" has 1 hit).

When I submitted my entry to HNSearch, Andres emailed me back and told me to disable revealing vote scores for comments that are less than 5 days old. In addition, they modified their API to restrict my query.
I find this extremely worrying. Sure, I'm all for fighting the power, but a campaign like this could do a lot to damage our online freedom, e.g. the freedom to pay for things and conduct business online ... it would also result in governments limiting the internet in a way that they haven't done before, for a very long time ... that would really suck!
I like this idea but since it requires changing everything in the world to deal with it, I think a better way to enter longitude/latitude co-ordinates would be better.

Or maybe not, since search will make all of this irrelevant :)

What I'm saying, airlines simply don't use the .aero TLD.

It really doesn't require much change. The major GPS vendors could support it plus the online map services (so that's only a handful of people) and then businesses could start publishing the 10:10 code of their location.

There's one thing (almost) every developer misses with Android: you need more than just an idea to make a "killer" app. Frankly, the design of Tap That! Number is ugly , and I bet that a more appealing design (look at Angry Birds, Cut the Rope ...) would at least double the downloads.
He used Score Ninja, which is a GREAT step towards making an app viral, but you need to make that game more challenging and more rewarding. Like, penalizing users for taping wrong numbers, rewarding them for taping two successive numbers at once (use multi-touch, it does wonders for PR), etc ...

As an experiment, I launched an app about a month ago too, on a niche where there were already tens of similar apps. I'm no artist, so it doesn't look fabulous, but it's not ugly. It's simple, and does it's job. Now, It's making 3-4$/day(peanuts really) at around 25.000 downloads, without any marketing whatsoever.

So, here are a few tips for making a successful app on Android, in the order of their importance (at least, my opinion):

1. Don't have serious bugs that crash the app. The users will tax you, and you'll lose the head start. Use services like DeviceAnywhere for testing on different platforms

2. Avoid complications in the app/game. Usually, it shouldn't take more than 3-4 taps to get from one place of the app to another.

3. Design design design! This is what gives the app a feeling of quality. If your app has a plain black background, in 99% of the cases you have a problem. Use popular apps as a model (Google's apps, Facebook, popular games)

4. Social features. Getting viral is the best way to get your app popular. Integrate Facebook/Twitter wherever you can, use global scores, allow players to challenge each other, etc..

5. Idea. This is the difference from tens of millions of downloads to just hundreds of thousands. You can still make a lot of money with a not-so-original idea, but to get rich you need something that draws attention (check out WordLens for iPhone).

6. Find a niche that's lacking, or the existing apps are lacking serious features. Android is still young, and there is room for quality apps.

7. Once your app is published, send it to as many review sites as possible.

I hope I didn't miss anything. This is like a 'checklist' I use for everything I build, and has helped me so far. Following it at least I know my app isn't going to fail miserably.
I conceded your point before you wasted
your time arguing it. Past that point,
you've really nothing interesting to say.

My apologies for wasting your time. It wasn't clear to me that you understood the points I was trying to make. It now does seem clear to me that you don't, but since I've already said it as clearly as I can, seems little point in adding to it.

You may choose not to bother reading further.

>> Your outrage contradicts findings in research.

> sentiment, not a proposition.

Sorry, but it seemed to me to be more than simply disappointment. And you may be disappointed, but research says that people form opinions very quickly. To try to take a stance that this should not be the case is a little odd. So I guess I don't understand your point.

> ... spouting logical nonsense of your own.

It's not clear to me what of my writings you think are logical nonsense. It's also not clear what you refer to when you say: "I criticize your logic ..." I've re-read your comments several time, and don't really see a coherent criticism of my logic.

Thank you for taking me at my word when I say I didn't down-vote you. I don't down-vote people for simple disagreements.

But let me finish with this:

Yes, it was an analogy. Yes, he was using it to set the scene to make a valid point. Yes, the article was mildly insightful.

The point I was trying to make - no doubt badly - is that his leading statement just provoked the reaction: Well, that's wrong. As such, as a rhetorical device, it was particularly badly chosen. Some members of his readership were always going to react badly to it because it's possibly wrong.

The points you and I are discussing here are the true bikeshedding. Whether one should interpret such statements logically, literally, or however is not the point. Analogies should be chosen carefully lest they distract from the point, rather than enhance it. This discussion essentially proves that point.
I've got a bunch of ideas on ways to add more data, check back over the next day or so!

> Our core server for controlling Python

> – Managing 100,000s of concurrent TCP connections

> – Scheduling/queuing of tasks for python

> – Metrics gathering (SNMP)

> – Presence server(fragmented mnesia)

> – Message passing (nb: this might be the "in-game messaging" service mentioned in the presence server slide 21)

> Other standalone game-related servers (expanded on slide 25)

> – Transient in-game data (seems to be a k/v store used for e.g. dynamic chat channels)

> – Testing bandwidth (estimation of client bandwidth via blasting UDP packets to the server)

> – Ranking leaderboards (real-time rankings, >15m users, built on ets and a customized gb_trees)

All of this is listed under "How we use Erlang"
The article mentions GeoHash [1] and suggests 10:10 is better as it contains a check digit. The advantage of a GeoHash is you can have arbitrary accuracies. For example, if you take the GeoHash for Buckingham Pallace (gcpuuwme9mzp3) and remove the last 6 characters (to give gcpuuwm) then the GeoHash covers a large area of London.

Yes they aren't identical situations, but you'll notice in your diagram that there is a downward force acting on the fish called "gravity", which is the point I was making - that gravity is acting on fish and humans regardless of what upward forces are also present.
Although that's interesting, there is a lot of advantages to a code based on postal areas. In both cases you can find out where on earth a code is, but with a postal code you can figure out how 2 points are related, and you can easily aggregate statistical data.

If you have 2 10:10 codes/lat lon pairs/geohashs you have no way of knowing if they are in the same town, or are separated by a big lake. The longer the common prefix of the 2 post codes, the more likely the 2 locations are to be in the same place. If you're looking for "ABC 123", and you're outside "ABC 124", you're probably close.

When collecting statistics, you can ask people for the postal code, and then aggregate the data based on where people live by just truncating the postal code.
