I care very much about many things, especially that people get treated right. Domainer or otherwise. I think the system has to be fair. I've come out publicly against companies with bad business practices and pointed out flaws in the system. (For example http://kevinohashi.com/15/04/2011/domain-registrar-and-custo...)

I also have been freely providing tools for anyone to use to aid in their domain search since I got started (first one being published in 2004ish).

I published 24,000 available short, pronounceable domains here for hackernews readers before sharing with any domain related sites (see http://kevinohashi.com/17/04/2011/other-24000-available-bran...).

Don't pretend as if you've kept an open mind about any of this. You've tried to discredit me personally multiple times now and never once even acknowledged your own hypocrisy even when it's patently obvious and pointed out. You simply skip along to the next superfluous argument. This should have been over long ago.

Given a 1982 frame of mind, these are some fairly remarkable predictions, has the author written any other predictive stories?
"1259359833574" isn't a magic constant. JavaScript uses // for comments. The number is just an example of the possible output of the expression "+new Date()" (specifically, it was the time at which the author of that page evaluated the expression).
Why is any popular start up consistently valued way more than they actually are?
I use http://capsulecrm.com. If you have less than 250 contacts and you need only two users, it's free, otherwise $12/mo/user.
It is one of the common things that regularly happen.
Very Clever - The Twitter Job Hustle
Looking at the photos I don't see any Indian engineers considering our IT ecosystem consists a large percentage of them.
The police is a good place to start. :)

Also, since you know the IP, do a ns-lookup of the IP and identify which internet provider owns that IP and follow it up with them. They would be should be able to let you know which customer was using that IP address.

Note it is not as simple as it sounds cause due to privacy laws, you can't just call up a service provider and demand the identity of a user behind an ip address. Usually, only the police have the right to investigate this hence why you should start with them.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck. Hope this helps.

Yeah, and CafePress has been around a while, too.
Groovy doesn't get enough press in HN but I would think Groovy is practically the most widely used of them all just because of Grails.

I think the real issue is that we should be spending more effort on designing systems that don't require outages to implement patches. Even if we reduced outages in most instances to the time required to hand over to a new instance almost all these issues would be history.

I worked on the core backend of an Internet Banking system and it was possible for us to apply code changes and db schema changes without an outage, so it is technically possible.

Work on it everyday. Doesn't matter if you don't feel like it, form the habit then it gets done. On days I don't feel like it I work on it for as little as ten minutes. This makes me much more likely to work on it tomorrow when the 'I don't feel like it' feeling is gone. Some around here suggest working for yourself before you work for others(give them the crappy I don't feel like it time.) Personally I am not a morning person so that doesn't really work for me. I find strenuous activity to be a good separator as well and helps me transition and focus.

Excellent news!

Heroku is the only reason I gave Ruby/Sinatra a try for a while. I love the idea of having Heroku-style deployment without giving up Clojure.
I assumed this was a feature. After you've read a lot of the current news, here are some interesting "Ask HN" questions that not too many people have seen yet, and now look at some of the best submissions in HN's history.

For at least 3 of those, Microsoft destroyed them by making a better product. I wish more companies would be evil like that.
The good news is that the U.S. is decades ahead of most countries in terms of automated manufacture. Probably only Japan and South Korea (maybe Germany too) can comfortably compare. The videos linked to in this same topic show a completely automated surface mount process to build the motherboard of a computer. Something that's still not regularly used in most countries because it's hard and expensive. Easier to just have low paid workers solder the stuff on by hand.
Thank you! Someone is paying attention.

This article makes it look like it's free to online subscribers (if you can figure it out).

But that's not the case at all. It is NOT free to online subscribers. Therefore it's got bad design, cryptic pricing, and the are double charging. All of which warrant two star reviews.
Make "saved links" page public.

Or at least accessible by crawlers if the user allow it.

Use case: I'd like to see all the links I have upvoted to be indexed by Trunk.ly so that I can find them later if I want.
It's also likely that they did it on the same line because the automated equipment to build the stuff was so hideously expensive that they had to build it on the same line.

I'm working on writing this up in a blog post, but it'll take a while. I'm trying to take a data-driven look at the major structural problems with America, but there are just way too many of them. But specifically for jobs there are a lot of limiting factors that stem from the ways we currently approach education, parenting, infrastructure, healthcare, mental health, the criminal justice system, immigration, poverty, the environment, the military, etc.

E.g. if you look at the literacy levels in America, it should be pretty obvious why this is an issue: http://nces.ed.gov/NAAL/PDF/2006470.PDF
I just started LPTHW as well and would like to get in on the discussion too
He actually wrote an interesting post a while ago about persistence. From what I recall he emailed many of them daily for a defined set period of time about his project and asking if they would meet with him for an interview.
How would it encrypt email on a rogue machine, securely? If the machine is rogue and has all key presses and has the plaintext how can it be secure then? Sure it is encrypted but it is already compromised.

Twitter continually impresses me, and I find myself using it more and more each day. Their biggest program is helping people understand that it can be a valuable resource and not just somewhere to post what their eating for lunch. I get my news from Twitter before I get it anywhere else.
I'm reminded of Philip K. Dick's prediction that mankind would be networked together across nations and continents, making us into a super-efficient race of engineers.

SO CLOSE. (OK, I paraphrased the above).

In this case, this article represents some pretty awesome ideating. I bet that not many of the article authors invested in Google, Dejanews, Yahoo, or AOL, though.

I had a brilliant moment of ideating in 1993 when I realized "Domain Names are going to be huge. There will be a landrush."

I pooled my dollars with some friends, and we bought ... foo.net. Cha-ching! Shopping.com, tv.com, etc. didn't really cross my mind.

What's really super hard in my opinion is setting oneself up to benefit from these tectonic trends; at least, it's hard for me!
OK, my issue was with your statement that time signatures are simply fractions. If that were true than 6/8=3/4. But I understand you were presenting a simplified explanation.

There is a difference between direct and indirect patent infringement. Google provides the Android source, but the companies that are being sued are directly infringing by selling and distributing products based on these patents.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent_infringement_under_Unite...

Google naturally has the choice to indemnify Android distributors and protect them from patent infringement. Google chooses not to do this, presumably because they do not want to expose themselves to the costs of direct patent infringement.
Unfortunately I am unable to remember any and all of my friends contact information. I store it somewhere for easy retrieval when I need it.

Dual Photography (SIGGRAPH 2005 Video)
this is almost exatcly how I learn. It is certainly the reason why I read hn, and associate with people who are generally much more experienced than I am (they're great friends of primarily).

I am still very much learning about programming in general, but the beat advice I ever got was this: just write programs any way you can, and learn what you did 'wrong'. there are always different ways to solve problems but the best way to get better is through practice.

its cool to see someone else (and by the comments, many others) doing the same thing I do.
I have been the victim of sponge learning for many years now, HN being part of it for about a year. I can talk about a wide range of techy subjects but I've never really made or done anything to show for it. I learn bits from here and there without never going very deep. I've read through (and done most of the exercises from) K&R and Dive Into Python to name a couple, yet I haven't written a project over 500 LOC.

I've loved technology as long as I can remember, but when it comes to my local circles I've always been alone with it. Sponge learning is great and (as the writer mentioned) it deduces the amount of unknown unknowns, but without peer encouragement or -at least- approval it's very difficult to actually do something with it.

My sincere respect for everyone who has done something with their passions (that includes you alexmr!)
Look at what the internet did for Ron Paul. More people make individual small donations to candidates online. The more this grows, the less each candidate will rely on a formal party to get them elected. Hopefully this will allow them to splinter off into smaller political parties.
I think it's great. I wish more people were as eager to learn new things as the OP.

I do think it comes at a cost to the rest of the community, though, when so many people participating in a technical community don't really understand much of the discussion.
And remember kids: making these kinds of brand/logo changes are what earns folks the Big Bucks. solving hairy concurrency bugs at 2am, dealing with a site outage? $100k/yr. "managing brands", consolidating them, moving the deck chairs around: many hundreds of thousands per year, sometimes millions. it's not about how hard what you do is, it's about "impact" and/or how close you are to the top of the org tree. :)

I use the Dell 24" panel in portrait for coding. It's awesome -- top is browser or music listener, whichever is necessary, middle is IDE, and bottom is console. If you were to stretch all the code over the whole screen, I agree, it might be a bit much -- at most, 60% of the height of the screen is a single window/code at any time.

EDIT: Why am I posting to something 11 days old?
Keep in mind we're operating on a very small sample size (a few years where the internet has been a major component of news, communication, and debate). As such it's probably too simplistic to label every political development of the last 15 years as due solely to the rise of the internet, rather than to the development of political trends with entirely different roots and causes.

Yet both the iPad nor the iPhone were manufactured in China. Hence, I'm curious why Steve Jobs reversed an opinion he previously worked so hard to support, as evidenced by the article.
Wow, that's horrible.
On a federal level, you're right.

But here in Washington - if the lawn mower isn't a licensed business and isn't paying L&I insurance and he hurts himself on the job and starts to collect disability, the state will get their pound of flesh out of you as his employer.

My email is in my profile I'm more than happy to send share notices to anyone wanting to try and create a profile.
fatfreecrm
sugarcrm
vtiger

Of the three, my preference is fatfreecrm - light weight, well written, ROR based. Sugar might have richer capabilities if you need it. All of the above are open source, or have open source versions.
This statement confused the heck out of me (wow! magic free memory) but of course, the pointers are being held to the contents of the memory, just not to the start of the object, which is what the GC cares about.

Perhaps the GC could be modified to track pointers not just to the head of object but to any address within it. Alternatively, C-coders working with Ruby could just say "I'm using this gc object" before calling C code.

I don't see this is a fatal flaw at all. Sounds like its just a bug. Now if, as many here assert, this bug is present all over the Ruby VM, then that's pretty unfortunate. Is that the case, or just hyperbole?
"Very few people out there know that the volatile type qualifier exists"? Only if there are "very few" kernel programmers, embedded programmers, and others who have used C for anything low-level and/or multi-threaded. Otherwise, no. Sorry, but knowing about it doesn't make you special.

"Volatile" is the wrong fix, by the way. That's just depending on yet another non-required behavior. There is in fact no further reference to "str" between the function call and the reassignment at the start of the next iteration, so there's nothing for "volatile" to chew on. This particular version of this particular compiler just happens to add an extra pair of stack operations in this case, but it's not truly required to. A real fix would not only mark the variable as volatile but also add a reference after the function call. The same "(void)str;" type of statement that's often used to suppress "unused argument/variable" warnings should count as a reference to force correct behavior here.
Man, the arbitrary downvoting on HN is starting to get out of control.

Obama gained the democratic nomination due in huge part to networks of voters band[ing] together

Am I alone in thinking that it we're more polarized and entrenched in our two party system than ever, with internet aided confirmation bias being one of the primary causes? (I.e., political "filter bubbles.")

Confirmation bias is a problem, but the two-party system isn't the same as it used to be.

Some would argue that the Tea Party is almost a third party, that the Republican party has attempted to swallow.

Usually books are interesting and useful. CS seems to be a different thing, as most things are available online for free, and there is a large community. Bookstores are still fun to go to (although I feel like they may be a dying breed).

It always helps to work on exercises (for stuff like math), but for CS, to pick something interesting you want to do in a language(s), but is small - and that can be a hard part. It's getting harder for me to figure out what to use a language for - picking up a language's syntax and nuances is relatively easy (okay, excluding Haskell), but it's worthless unless you have something you want to work on.
Oh. Right. Duh.
