This kind of models can't predict when the attack will happened. They are only useful to estimate the frequency of the attacks. (I din't check the original paper, so perhaps the model is not even good for that.)

For example, it is possible to predict the eclipses with a very high precision (the exact day, hour, ...), years before it happens.

But it is impossible to predict when or where will be the hurricanes of the next month. It is possible to get an estimation of the number of the hurricanes in a region, but impossible to get the exact number or dates.
I'm not familiar with either project but a big one is that Awesomium has a C# and .NET API. That alone could be reason for some to choose it.
I can't believe just how much of a copy Wimdu is of the Airbnb's site.

They should be ashamed of themselves for such a blatant copy. The way to beat a competitor isn't to copy them, this to me almost guarantees that Wimdu will be an also-ran.
The Finder's "Arrange by Kind" has been updated to actually group the different files. Folders, Documents, Developer, Images, etc. I really like this.

You have to know business' email. I plan to allow also sending physical mail when you know the address. That would be service where I would probably charge for. Some of the businesses can't even be reachable via email anymore.
Opting out of something you asked to receive is the courteous thing to do. If your interests have changed and what you signed up for is no longer relevant to you, it's the best thing all around. The company doesn't have to keep trying to send you emails that you don't want which might be getting rejected by your mail server using cryptic messages (for example, major ISPs use some variant of a 4NN response such as Yahoo's 451 message deferred) making your mail server waste resources rejecting messages you don't want. The sending mail server also keeps retrying until it either gives up as undeliverable or until it eventually gets into your mailbox. If it makes it to your inbox then you waste your time marking it as spam again. Or maybe it goes into your spam folder where you waste your time reviewing the messages to ensure there were no false positives. It also penalizes other users who actually do want to receive the email since that email has a higher likelihood of getting delayed or undelivered because of your actions.

By all means mark as spam stuff you didn't opt in to receive. But marking stuff you did opt in to receive is the digital equivalent of hanging up on your best friend when he calls to see if you'd like to go for your usual weekly coffee. He keeps calling back thinking there was a phone problem and you keep hanging up on him. Wouldn't it be better if you just said "Hey dude, I know we agreed to go for coffee every Monday but I actually stopped drinking coffee a few weeks ago."

How an argument with Hawking suggested the Universe is a hologram
I don't disagree that non-professional experience is valuable and that it certainly depends on the developer. For example, it's incredibly easy to work on open-source projects or have code on github that's in circulation and supported. And when hiring for a team, they're definitely good signs.

My main point was that the developing software on your own is very different from working with teammates and having deadlines and processes, where you're often required to choose the best of a set of bad options rather than having the time to do things right or where you're thrown into a legacy codebase that can't be broken but must be fixed.

$1100 is cheap for a nice room or studio with your own bath, but there certainly are many options cheaper than $1100. I've stayed with friends spending $400-600 in SF in the Mission, Downtown and Tenderloin areas, and these aren't people that have been living there for years under rent control. A search on Craigslist shows a lot of options in SF for under $800.

Hacker Houses of course have the added benefit that they are also a productive place to work and thus don't require you to pay for an open desk in a co-working space.

Artist houses are a much better example of how low you can go insofar as living costs are concerned. I wish there were more hackers that were interested in the approach artists take.
Ebay history of Norway attacker Anders Behring Breivik 
His ebay profile page:

http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=andrewbrei&ftab=AllFeedback

"The Sunday Telegraph, which said it investigated thousands of online transactions over a seven-month period, has reported that Anders Behring Breivik used eBay to procure sulphur powder, which the newspaper described as a key ingredient for the bomb that exploded in Oslo, killing eight people.
The Sunday Telegrah also said that Breivik, under the username "andrewbrei," used eBay to order a drill press vice, a full-face respirator and a "hazmat" suit."

> I’m not sure how this works but I use Mail’s filter for my aggressive filtering and I also use Gmail’s filter for general purpose pre-filtering. It seems to me like I’m free to do whatever I want with my own filter, but maybe I’m marking mail also for Google as spam if I move it to the respective folder? I wouldn’t want to do that.

Oh, in Mail it might be different if Apple doesn't use that data to train it's default filter. Which seems unlikely.

I guess I don't know if Google does, I just assume they do because they're data junkies.

3. Host a mirror of your site (if you use your old site for downloads of any kind)

I also mark any mail where unsubscribe is more difficult than a couple of clicks as spam, though I don't have the instant hate for "webinar" mails that you do (I've never even noticed that as a thing, so I have no opinion one way or another).

This reply is pretty much a public +1 (I also upvoted the post). If points were visible I wouldn't have bothered with the reply and would have just gone with the upvote, but I'm trying to make sure any email marketing folks out there who may be reading this realize you aren't the only one who does this and they are ultimately hurting themselves by making it more difficult to unsubscribe than it needs to be.
you should host this on a separate domain because your clients are setting cookies on your domain and when I hit one of your hosted js files I see all of those cookies

This word "spam", I do not think it means what you think it means. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_(electronic)

"Spam is the use of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately"

It seems as though a lot of people on HN think that any email message they didn't want to get at that moment is spam. Reminds me of the misunderstanding of the work "hacker".

Unfortunately I had no silver spoon :/

Due to family financial pressures, I had to graduate early. Fortunately I was taking enough credits to graduate a year early.

I really didnt want to discuss numbers, but I realize that the comment seems a bit misguided if not put in perspective. I started out with salary 250K (not including signing and year-end bonus), but most of my salary excess went to helping out my parents, so I really couldnt save much. Most of the savings came from saving bonus checks and not increasing spending when I was promoted.

My remark about the car specifically was to point to the fact that almost all of my coworkers were fortunate enough not to have that type of family pressure, so they could afford to get nicer cars (my BMW is a 40K 3-series, for which I could take a lot of deductions because I was running a startup at the time, compared to some of my subordinates driving 160K porsches). It's easy to say that you won't scale up your expenses when your income rises, but its hard to do so when your coworkers and social network are scaling up much faster than you.
I've seen half a dozen replies from you saying she probably has a lawyer and is trying to milk this, without a shred of evidence, other than "that's what you would do."

Ask HN: Proof of Ownership for Images in iPhone App
I'm working on an iPhone app for a client that will use brand images for which they own the copyright.

Apple may possibly require 'Proof of Ownership' when I submit the app. Does anyone know what specifically is sufficient to provide 'Proof of Ownership'? Would client contact information and written documentation be sufficient?

Thanks for the advice.

Git is plain scary. We should stick with SVN.
Typically about 60-70% of the time standing. I try to stretch every hour or so. I also shift my standing position quite a bit, from a wide stance to a normal stance. When I'm thinking or watching a video, I march in place. Whether standing or sitting, I try to not be any one position for more than an hour at a time.
> But there's something "off" about EJ's position here. Why is a vandalized apartment leaving her homeless?

If the landlord found out why her place was vandalized, he may have grounds to boot her out of the apartment.
1) You couldn't be more wrong. Moment by moment psychology is and had been a part of the market from the beginning. The market is about INFORMATION, namely who knows something and who doesn't. Adding computers to the mix might have sped things up but hasn't fundamentally changed the game that's played.

2) I dont see any fundamental difference between multiple exchanges each with a dominant market marker and multiple market makers within a single exchange. In practical matters, retail investors dont select their exchange, their broker does.

Again with the attempts to factionalize the discussion. "If you're not with her, you're against us!" It's weird. Why do you feel the need to take sides?
I have a gentleman who is into this sort of thing and I've played through most of AppStore apps with him. They fall into exactly two categories - shorter games that are shallow in their content with low re-playability and longer, more elaborate games for older kids. And I can tell you with certainty that 3-5 year olds is an under-served market.

With regards to the app (the paid version of it) - it looks promising, but the test subject is napping. Three things though -

(a) the app is lagging heavily on iPad 1. For example, clicking on the ? icon scrolls the page up in jerky increments, it looks like the app is really struggling.

(b) the music selection is a no-go. For one, I doubt the classics will fly with my kid, and for two - it will most certainly annoy the hell out of my wife and myself.

(c) the "purchase more" hooks - I appreciate why you have them, but as a rule of thumb I will do my best to avoid any apps that have in-app purchases. Having for-a-fee options always leads to "what is that?", "why can't I press this button?" and so on and on. This is a not so subtle form of parent arms' twisting by an app developer and I as a parent passionately hate it.

On a more constructive note regarding (c) - add a single option in a config menu "hide all related to real money" or let me buy ALL you optionals at once (full unlock) or explain exactly how the accumulation of monsterbucks works. Nothing else would do. Let me reiterate how I really really don't like my child being used as a leverage for milking me for follow-up purchases.

My primary way of ascertaining how bug-free my code is, and the way I've never seen anyone mention, is by feel. Doesn't anyone else roughly know which code is likely to cause bugs and which isn't? Whenever I write some code without thinking it through or take my time, I know it's going to lead to bugs, even if it's very simple.

On the other hand, I have code I wrote that I trust completely. It turns out later that these metrics are, indeed, accurate. Does anyone else get this?
Not quite. What the project accomplishes is the ability to embed a fully functional and interactive web browser into another application (e.g. a game), with complete control over the pixels. Accomplishing the same functionality with a WebView, while theoretically possible, would be slow, clunky, and suffer from crashes (should the browser crash), as the rendering engine is running in the same process. It's my understanding that this will be rendered nearly obsolete with widespread Webkit2 adoption, but for now, it does provide a significant benefit (in terms of stability and usability) over a Cocoa WebView.
"any small business owner will be able to accept credit cards, anywhere. "

Sure, after buying an iphone for around $200 + $100/month in data plan. Not cost effective for a "small" business owner.

"Or my friend can directly pay me back money he owes me with a card. That wasn't possible before. "

Yes, you could do that with paypal, without carrying a huge hardware in your pocket and paying less in transaction fee.

This is not to say they won't make money. They will, but many others will make even more money.

There are some excellent studies out there that suggest this to be false.

He used the words "me" and "my". Unless those studies involved him, I think the results are worth little compared to his own experience. If he had used the words "people" and "they", I think the results of those studies would be more relevant.

Most of the people I know use twitter almost exclusively for use #1. In my friends, we don't want news or celebrity posts taking up our feeds, we use it to chat and share stories. And this group isn't just local, I'm friends with entertainment professionals all over the US, and twitter is the best way to ask for help or to share a hilarious on-site anecdote.
I'm starting to think that these unfortunate incidents may actually provide airbnb with the future of it's business model.

Right now they are just hooking people up and handling payments. They could go from that to learning how to put in place the best verification/insurance/customer service/emergency handling mechanisms in order to beat competitors in service quality.

It's analagous to how paypal won payments by learning to be the best at handling fraud.

At least there is some (complicated) method to unsubscribe.

I try to unsubscribe from Amazon's affiliate spam newsletter for years now, but it just doesn't work. I can toggle the "subscribe" box on the website as many times as I want - no matter what the website displays, the mails just continue to arrive in my inbox.

I've contacted the support numerous times now, but they either tell me that "after unsubscribing it takes some time until you stop to receive the mails" or that "we've unsubscribed you now manually". Of course this never worked.

So if anyone from Amazon is reading this: This concerns the German "Amazon PartnerNet" affiliate program and the message category that I can't unsubscribe is "Feedback zum Partnerprogramm". I'd happily send you my account information if there's any chance of fixing this annoying bug.

It is definitely illegal to require a login. CAN-SPAM has many (many) faults, but it is extremely explicit about there being no funny business in the unsubscribe process.

Current FTC rules say that your unsubscribe link must either immediately unsubscribe the user or lead to a page that (at most) asks for only your email address and does not try to confuse or dissuade you.

If you're fluent in legalese, it's in the set of rules known as "CAN-SPAM 2008" http://www.ftc.gov/os/2008/05/R411008frn.pdf

That's a good step, but it has drawbacks (like some websites refusing them). I just got my own domain and enabled catch-all, so now I just put [website-name]@[mydomain.com], which is never refused.

Also, if they happen to sell to spammers, I'll know exactly who it was, whereas with that scheme they can simply remove the \+.* part.

Actually there is a lot of dissatisfaction among small and medium-sized retailers / restaurants with their POSes. Expensive to install, expensive to maintain, software that's stuck in the 90s, and shady processing deals. They don't call em POS for nothin. Fixing that is hugely disruptive.

Your argument is based on a false premise. Nobody said things would change "overnight" at every level. Square is starting with the simplest case. No doubt they're hard at work building out a more sophisticated register platform that will move them upmarket.

You can have different backgrounds on different Spaces. It's great to be able to organize a little mental model of your workspace by using differently colored backgrounds.

You're fine, I'm the crazy one...err...ignorant one! I was just wrong. In viewing some of the other comments on this thread, it's clear to me that milo would have done a fine job of filtering me out! :-)

FWIW, I looked at the problem differently - I interpreted "factors" completely the wrong way. I'm humble enough to say that my bad interpretation is based on my own lack of education in mathematics. I have none! Zero, outside of what you get in high school. I'm definitely not the low-level algorithm guy. My lack of math skills has not held me back professionally, but I get healthy doses of humility, like this, on occasion. "One day" I want to go back and study math and see what I've been missing all these years.

I wanted to give you the respect of a reply since you took the time to comment.

On the other hand, will this turn out to be the DirectX of the future (ugh). Would love to hear some personal anecdotes from someone who was tried it out.

A (good) CDN speeds up content by having distribution points close to the client. An added benefit of a shared CDN (like this) is that resources can be shared by multiple pages, which will mean the cache will be shared by multiple pages. DNS lookup can be a factor in page load time, but parallelizable HTTP requests (especially to a location that is close by) can usually make up for it.

Google's recommendation is to use between 1 and 5 hosts per page: http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/docs/rtt.html#Minimi.... For the type of clients this CDN is aimed at (people who don't have their own CDN) it is unlikely they have more than one or two hosts already used, so this CDN is likely to be useful for them.
