Just how do you develop a moral compass if you are denied access to more than a single viewpoint? I suspect you have only the most superficial understanding of of modern video games. Try to play Heavy Rain and not be moved. I honestly think that the point of these laws are to limit access to views and ideas. Your own post supports this.
Should we bad trashy romance novels because they give women impure thoughts? This patrician attitude is unethical. Blocking people from conflicting views will only stunt their ethical growth yet you and others would promote a single unexamined view.
Please note a major retail store refused to sell me Heavy Rain dispute being twice 18 with a ID. There is no excuse for this.
Time Management for Recovering Sysadmins
Exactly. My inbox has only emails I wasn't expecting to get. Everything, and I do mean everything, else gets filtered into an appropriate category. So family, friends, mailing lists, etc. are all tagged appropriately and not a one of them makes it into my inbox proper. Boring parts of mailing lists and whatnot get marked as read and I sort through the others as I have time.

At this point, very little goes into my inbox to begin with, and most of what does is important.
I think quite a few people are missing the point of this feature.

This feature is not to 100% fully secure "OMFG" protect your account. This isn't like some super secret government code sort of deal.

The idea is that your e-mail account does not get compromised when a company's database gets hacked.

The point of the unique, application-specific passwords isn't to "lower the security of your account", but it's to prevent someone from using a database leak to logging into your g-mail because YOU SHOULD NOT USE THESE CODES FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE SPECIFIC APP.

Yes, someone can get that password and enter your g-mail account. But the point is that you're not using this to log in to your Paypal, your Xbox Live, your PSN, or your Hacker News account.

I would like a single click shortcut to filtering message like these out of my inbox. How does one make “Filter messages like these” faster?

Archive+next using the ] shortcut is a very fast way to plow through one message. Maybe 100 ms. Because it takes only a single keystroke.

But "Filter messages like these" takes several clicks and at least 10 seconds (maybe more) for intermediate pages to load. The filter is usually correct. How can I do that?
Ah. Two wolves and a sheep then.

It is standard for a command to accept a -h/--help option and display usage, and for commands with subcommands to accept a "help" command to do the same. It appears in your source that usage is only displayed when an invalid command is specified, or a command is not used properly.
Currently, I am using affiliate programs of the hosting providers for revenue, but I am looking into putting some ads as well.

Reliability data of hosting providers is something I definitely want to add. I agree that saving a few dollars should not be the priority, but the search at least narrows down the choices from thousands of plans to a select few.
The debate reminds me of some of the angst the Perl community went through over what was known as the "DarkPAN problem" (i.e. all the hidden enterprise code that might get broken by new releases of Perl).

A lot of the corporate argument comes down to "someone should do this for me for free." I'd say this could be a great business opportunity for someone, if not for that pesky "for free" part.

No, 12 numbers begin with 1 in the range [0,100] if that's indeed what the OP meant:

I think he most likely meant to exclude 1 and 100, but I don't know.
Great idea. I was just a few weeks ago looking for this same type of service myself for my project idea. I ended up going with the AWS free tier, though. Your site has a very clean design, and it's obvious what it does when you first look at it.

One thing I don't like is that when you click on "see plan details" it just takes you to the service's main page. It doesn't actually show plan details like you claim it will. This is particularly annoying for the first two choices, which are both take you to the same page on ChimeHost.

I also don't see any significance in the "ieu" part of the name. It's kind of hard to pronounce and not very memorable.

> Also strip personally identifying information for immediate anonymity.

I question just how anonymous a recording of your interaction with the police can be made. Surely the officers in question will recognize recordings of themselves and have records of just who all they pulled over that day?
Q:	If the police ask for my encryption keys or passwords, do I have to turn them over?

A:	No. The police can't force you to divulge anything. However, a judge or a grand jury may be able to. The Fifth Amendment protects you from being forced to give the government self-incriminating testimony. If turning over an encryption key or password triggers this right, not even a court can force you to divulge the information. But whether that right is triggered is a difficult question to answer. If turning over an encryption key or password will reveal to the government information it does not have (such as demonstrating that you have control over files on a computer), there is a strong argument that the Fifth Amendment protects you.14 If, however, turning over passwords and encryption keys will not incriminate you, then the Fifth Amendment does not protect you. Moreover, even if you have a Fifth Amendment right that protects your encryption keys or passwords, a grand jury or judge may still order you to disclose your data in an unencrypted format under certain circumstances.15 If you find yourself in a situation where the police are demanding that you turn over encryption keys or passwords, let EFF know.

I'm very interested to see the case law behind this interpretation. As people are being held in contempt for not turning their encryption keys over to the courts. If there is case law supporting the notion that an encryption key is protected under the 5th Amendment then we need to direct more attention to those cases.

Brands as patterns
Further, even if the relationship is in some sense causative, it doesn't imply that removing what may just be one aspect of a complex system will fix the problem. Medical history is replete with treating "not-quite-underlying causes" simply because the not-quite-underlying-cause was easily visible; one of the more recent examples is cholesterol. You can't solve a problem you don't fully understand, not even if the problem is really really important.

You can't even say "you might as well just try it, it can't hurt"... are you that sure that standing in one place for years at a time is that much better than sitting in one place for years at a time? What if standing in one place without activity is even harder on you than sitting in one place without activity? Is even being on a treadmill that much better? That's not a very natural activity pattern either, is it?

Science is hard.
I think that's a slight misunderstanding of the article. When Andy talks about 'design' he means the engineering part - design of the code, architecture etc. We have a separate team of graphic designers who do just that and aren't engineers.

Why Radical Change Is Better Than Slow Change
I'm having trouble seeing how any change to something as completely arbitrary as version number schemes could be described as "disingenuous".

How would the Perl community be attempting to "deceive people via a false impression of honesty" by dropping the long-since-atrophied major version number?

What possible point of honesty is served by gluing that 5 to the language in perpetuity, just to continue waiting for Godot to show up?
Hackers pierce network with jerry-rigged computer mouse
The Teensy microcontroller programmed by the Netragard hackers was programmed to wait 60 seconds after being plugged in to a computer and then enter commands into its keyboard that executed malware stored on the custom-built flash drive snuck into the guts of the Logitech mouse. To squelch warnings from McAfee antivirus, which was protecting the customer's PCs, the microcontroller contained undocumented exploit code that subverted the program's dialogue boxes to evade detection.

Well said, zaidf. This is Christine, one of the editors and writers for the project. At Inc., we largely focus on small, fast-growing companies, needless to say, pre-IPO or sale. And the names you'll see last year our list (LivingSocial, Foursquare), and previously (Modcloth, Mashable, Aaron Patzer, Mark Zuckerberg) won't appear on the list again. There are simply too many innovative, fascinating new, younger, companies each year for us to explore and profile to repeat names. Hope that makes sense.

For any project, you're always balancing quality, schedule, budget, scope and risk to try to get the best business outcome. Because of this, I don't believe in any of the hard and fast rules about the "right" way to code. It's far too situational.

That said, you make an excellent point about the importance of project prioritization. A management team who is good at identifying high ROI projects will stomp all over one who sprays pointless change requests at their dev team.

Twenty craziest job interview questions
I guess what I'm getting at is that I want reviews, not data. I'm with Linode because lots of people love Linode and because they seem to treat customers well. I wouldn't switch hosts even if someone was offering the same thing (in terms of ram, disk and bandwidth) for free.

For comparison, if I made a website for picking a hotel and it showed the price, square footage, sheet thread count and number of TV channels, would I be able to take traffic away from TripAdvisor? Of course not. A hotel could offer a 1000 sq ft room with 1200 thread count sheets and 500 channels for $5 and it could still be the worst hotel on Earth.

10 Lessons for Managing Marketing at an Early-Stage Startup
That's very interesting, Neils. I think medical ethics are the toughest I've ever been exposed to, exactly for situations like this.

I think that we could be doing everyone a favor if there was more education in ethics starting at a younger age. I don't necessary mean "philosophy" classes, discussing teleology and things like that, because I don't think that would have any effect and students would space out like they do in any other class. But I would want an education that directly addresses ethics: posit a situation to your students (preferably one that they can be familiar with at their age, at least to begin with), and then open a discussion. Young students are not very enthusiastic about class discussions, but I think by putting them in a situation like this, someone will say something because they disagree, and that will get the ball rolling.

I feel like adults making unethical decisions do so because they don't truly understand personhood, because they've never had an education in it. Because they don't understand why a captive has right not to be drugged, even if it could mean that they don't get tortured (or at least, why you as a doctor have the right and/or duty not to drug them).

I don't know that I agree that videogames mess up children's moral compasses and I don't think that restricting them would do any good (as an example, take the War on Drugs). But I think that a mandatory discussions in ethics every couple of years (as the children grow up and face new sets of problems) could do a world of good.
Haha, great idea--They could code name it, "project barking dogs"--if only because I've always liked the phrase "my dogs are barking" used when peoples feet are tired/hurt.

I agree on the "see plan details" part. I wanted to get the site running as quickly as possible, so I did not pay too much attention of adding the plan URLs in my database.

For the revenue, I am using the affiliate programs of the hosting providers and will possibly put some ads as well. The affiliate links also make it a bit difficult to go directly to the plans page as the affiliate URLs don't always allow for that.

The name has been a bit of a problem for me. I had spent so much time thinking about the name that it was becoming a major bottleneck in my work. I just decided on something reasonable and started working on the website. I probably should revisit it. Any suggestions?
Exactly. I immediately thought it's an artifact of our base-10 system.
Unfortunately, the article never explains what that strategy was. "Getting into YCombinator" is posited as the solution to their problems, yet "getting into YCombinator" is not a user acquisition strategy.
Well: figuring out cause and effect is hard.

E.g.: "They shop at the strip-mall because it's probably closer and more convenient to them. That's the issue."

There's more than one way to interpret that. An alternate interpretation that I will offer: the strip grocery store is cheaper and bureaucratically much easier to build (the nature of green field development), and the logistics of using that store are easier (just more space), so that big-box suburban-style stores have driven other kinds of stores out of business, and suppressed the building of new stores. Maybe that's because of subsidies and whatnot, though even if so it's not clear that removal of those subsidies would reverse the trend.

Now I'm not just trying to be cynical and pro-suburb. I don't choose to live in suburbs, and yet we still do a lot of our shopping there, and I believe our and many other people's decisions are based on rational reasons. Reasons based in the-way-things-are, not the-way-things-could-be, but still rational. I lived in Chicago for a long time too, and there the suburbs were simply too far away. And a lot of things are a complete pain in the ass to do in that environment. Walking 20 minutes with your groceries in a handcart is not awesome, and most people aren't going to be very excited about that option. Not because they are unable to see the benefit, but because it's tiring and cold to walk 20 minutes with groceries, you can't get a full load, if you have a child everything is twice as hard, and if you have a baby then it's just plain shitty.

I think if density and urban environments are going to take back growth from the suburbs, we need new forms to support that. The corner store won't do it. The city big box store is just aping the suburbs. But we need something new.

One option frankly is many fewer stores. Amazon works great in the city. This is contrary to what many Livable Cities proponents want (local business), but personally I don't care about commerce. Commerce is a pathetic excuse for public life, and if it is automated away then so be it. I guess it's the same desire: if the old way of public life doesn't seem good enough, instead of regressing let's consider new forms.
It's more like a few wolves, some bears, a lion, several startled rhinoceros, and a very large tortoise.

Respectful Question
I have had 2 usernames on YC VB6_Forever and VB6_Foreverr.
At my own admission I have never posted anything of much worth
so I'm sure these names don't ring any bells with any of you.
I have been hellbanned/slowbanned under each of these names.
Personally I find the slowban/hellban to be rather sneaky but OTOH
I can see the necessity for sanctions like these.
To get banned once is probably forgiveable, to get banned twice, well I'm
not sure what it means but maybe I'm lacking insight.
Anyway IMO it would be fairer if the person being sanctioned received
some sort of warning.
In my first incarnation I had very little karma and downvoting took me under
zero. In my second incarnation I had over 100 and downvoting reduced me by about
20 or so. I had no idea that would be enough to ban me forever.
I posted this evening under a new username just to ask if slowban/hellban is a forever thing
but that post was removed and the username 'firstgear' I created was again banned.
I am not trying to troll HN but I'd like to know if this is a permanent ban and ideally why?
Aw, I like the name, I was drawn to it because it was called Tigger. Though as a female programmer I might be in the minority.. (:
If doing things right means that things don't work, then you're not doing things right.
It's more about capturing something that someone does not want to be seen and later traceable back to you because you didn't know about your phone embedding data into pictures.

Say for example, you caught me killing a puppy with your camera phone. I'm your neighbour so you post the picture online with a hint to location via an anonymous account through many proxies. There's newspaper frontpage outrage and I'm outraged. I investigate and look at the picture file. Lo and behold, I recognise the camera make as yours and know who it is. So it's not only police that you want to protect yourself from.

Disclaimer: I like puppies though :(

The problem is that the believe they have developed their moral compass. So, when faced with real questions, they proceed with confidence when they should have deep doubts about their own abilities and proceed with the utmost caution instead. A Duning-Krueger effect.
proce55ing is great for what it is / does, but there's a large gap between that and building functional games and animations, which isn't addressed by their screen graph model (nor this one). At issue, and missing, are parent-child relationships in which transformations and mouse events can be factored or transmitted up or down a display chain in the screen graph. To my knowledge, the only existing library that does this on Canvas is StrikeDisplay (strikedisplay.blogspot.com). In general, the ability to do that doesn't impinge on the ability to use native canvas vector functions in any way; but it simplifies the mixture of vector and raster images for animation, and acts as a better tool to let coders focus on the game they're trying to build rather than the intricacies of the canvas processing -- or to step it up, the raster and/or vector transformations -- behind something like:

var a = new Sprite();
var b = new Sprite();
a.addChild(b);
b.x = 100;
a.rotation = 45;

Which ideally should rotate both a and b by 45 degrees clockwise, with b offset in the rotation around a's axis by 100 px.
