As someone who runs another photo sharing site that organizes for you by date, I can say yes.

First, it's important to know that uploading a thousand photos is way easier on such a site, since you do no organizing work. Try uploading a thousand photos to Flickr without culling, organizing into albums, tagging and captioning, and see what your result looks like. It doesn't have to be like that.

Second, they have to be your photos for you to appreciate chronological organization. When I look at my own, I can say, "Wow, I just click 2005, then December and I see my Puerto Rico pictures. And I didn't have to organize them myself." You don't get the same effect looking at someone else's.
Then for the sake of HN readers can we allow the titles submitted here to be different?

Edit to add: I know it's possible but I've seen a couple of cases recently where a submitter changed a title (for clarity) but a mod changed it to match the original article.
As a small developer, this sounds really cool, but I wonder how much incentive they can create for large sites, especially walled-garden types like facebook.
I just hate to see technology lying around doing nothing when it could genuinely help the situation. We have the data, we have the technology. Let's put the two together and actually help the situation, rather than sitting around moaning.

The police cannot use these methods, I believe, so if the public can do it for them to help narrow down inquiries, then surely that's a good thing.

I think it's important to point out that a system like this would be to close the net, not to be used as evidence.
It doesn't seem to apply to dwarf fortress or minecraft.

I'm Mormon (or more pedantically I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) so kbutler caught me.

He's quoting from the Doctrine & Covenants (like the Pauline epistles in that they're letters written by someone claiming to speak messages from God, but not like them in that they were written in the 1830s and 40s in America) and it's this more modern scripture that tends to talk about these kind of things. Basically any decent religion will start out with "Be nice to your neighbors" but when you start asking "Why?" it is inevitable going to end up in a discussion about the nature of the universe and its the modern scripture that tends to crystallize that a bit.

The example I was thinking of:

Nothing like facial recognition would ever be allowed to be used as evidence, especially in the way I envisage it being used here. It's about helping to narrow down the options so the police can get on with their traditional lines of enquiry, like gathering evidence, etc. There is no shift in power to the police, they don't have access to any extra data, just the results.

We need to stop being afraid of the potential uses of technology, we'll never get anywhere that way. Also, I am not claiming that this is a) the right solution, or b) socially acceptable just yet.

We need to tackle those issues, rather than turn away from the technology because of potential futures.
Also implicit variable scoping. And does not (as far as I can see) facilitate properties creation, nor does it implement tuple unpacking/multiple return values, and positional v keyword arguments use completely different syntaxes (not sure if you can even mix them).

Overall, seems very half-assed, a few cosmetic changes (half of them making the language worse instead of better) and that's about it.
I think if you analyse your statements and compare them to a sensible set of morals which put a person above the state, you can answer that question yourself.
Absolutely. What a terrible syntax.
I wish there was more widespread interest in static analyzers.. If you haven't noticed yet, Mozilla has Spidermonkey embedded into GCC 4.5+ using the new plugin architecture so you can write static code tests in Javascript:

It also makes my non-haskell brain as well, for what it's worth.

edit: wait, its functions are not curried, so I'm not sure it's right-associative, it just looks that way if you've read haskell code in the past: positional arguments are still tuples (comma-separated)

If this code was haskell and you translated it to Move it would look like this: `print foo.makeHello, capitalize, name`

It depends on which side. Walled gardens will still want to be in the game, so they'll be motivated to provide actions.

They might balk at pointing users to external actions, but even walled gardens can only provide a limited set of services. e.g. Facebook and Twitter don't provide services to edit/enhance photos, they could palm that off to services like Picnik in a Web Intents universe.
It's a bit like saying "I see a lot of women have jobs these days - does that mean that feminism is more than just a fad?" You're not going to get any helpful responses if you ask something inflammatory (and I think it shows maturity that no-one's flamed you).

Anyway, what would you gain from asking a bunch of Ruby developers whether Ruby is "just a fad"? This is hardly the best venue for that question.

Incidentally, I didn't downvote you, just thought I'd try to explain why nobody responded to you.
Scala does have 'break' just not 'continue'.

I think this makes sense. Both encourage bad habits but continue is very easy to emulate and break is not always easy to emulate.

So you're saying use technology to treat the symptoms and ignore the cause? Retribution rather than prevention?

Help your neighbours, not the police, then shit like this wouldn't happen. People are so ready to delegate responsibility for everything to technology and a "higher authority" that they forget their own moral responsibility.

As for using it to identify people for questioning, it is strictly against the DPA to collect this information privately without consent and supply it to the police without a data controller and disclosure policy.

This is a major problem of many startups.

Branding is so important, especially in the early stages of a company. A bad branding can kill even the best company.

Despite that fact, there are nearly no articles about branding for startups.
There is one reason why the US cannot go bankrupt .... it can just print more money to pay the debts. This is very different to Greece which does not control it's own currency. This is one reason why Euro states are more under threat than the US.

Also Japan has far higher debt levels than the US, and it has an significantly more aging population, negative growth in population and is in more trouble than the US. However Japan is currently a safe haven from the US? Who decided that Japan is a safe haven? If the Japanese government had to pay much higher interest rates it would be in a lot of trouble, but at least it too can print it's own money.

At least I found DIP to be a more than decent book (my background before was mostly C and matlab). Certainly not a great book, but I have yet to find one of those for python. The python tutorial is ok if you don't know much about programming, but I found DiP most fast paced.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Doug Hellman's great resources. His book "The Python Standard Library by Example" is basically a print version of his PyMOTW project (http://www.doughellmann.com/PyMOTW/). While not an end to end "learn Python" the examples, at least in my case, have led me to ask quite a few questions that open other doors into Python that I haven't been exposed to.

I like what Zed has put out, but the books Lutz has out are great as well. Hetland's book is OK and Paul Barry's "Head First Python" is a great read if you're a true beginner to get your feet wet with a fun book. It's an easy read, but I would think that the transition to "Learning Python" would feel like a slight step backwards - however "Programming Python" by Lutz may be a better logical step (instead of going back through a lot of the basics).
You mean, some kind of closed beta approach?

Are you being serious? This is nothing about the cause. Sorting that out is a much deeper issue that needs to be carefully analysed and considered.

You're effectively saying that we shouldn't bother to help bring people to justice.

Also, I would love to see further information about what you say about the DPA (any links?). We're not wanting to bend the law here, we want to work legally. If it turns out that this kind of work is completely unfesable by the law then we will be forced to abandon it.

Please don't turn this into a moral debate between you and myself, I appreciate that not everyone will see the use of technology in this way as a good thing. At the end of the day I'm trying to do something to help here, rather than moan and argue online about it.

When Nokia announced the switch to Windows Phone, they relegated MeeGo to "research project" status. According to Elop, the work done on MeeGo is supposed to anticipate the next disruptive technologies, rather than aiming to compete in the current smartphone market.

Nokia also has said that they intend to use Qt on their Series 40 operating system, which powers the hundreds of millions "dumbphones" that Nokia sells each year.
I think you're mistaken.

Pepsi-Cola Company changed their name to PepsiCo to reflect their more diverse product line after their merger with Frito-Lay, not as a result of any trademark lawsuit. In the United States at least (though I believe this is the case elsewhere as well), "cola" is the generic term, though Pepsi doesn't use it in their packaging much anymore. See for instance RC Cola.
Hi Paul. I would love to see a tab for people launching new products in general. i.e. a way to submit your startup for review. Since HN is essentially a startup community, wouldn't it make sense to distinguish a 'review my startup' entry from a 'NASA discovers oxygen on Pluto' entry ? ... especially considering that the submitter often has put months and months of time into it, and would REALLY appreciate and value feedback from others, instead of quickly dropping off (or not even making) the front page ...

He's wrong. It's a defense against the situation that already exists, not something that is creating the situation. That statement actually DOES make people pause and think about why they are downvoting.

Don't blame the player, blame the game.

(I was going to add a disclaimer that I didn't really expect downvotes, but the statement now seems like trolling and I DO expect downvotes... But with this disclaimer I don't again. It's all very confusing.)

Always interesting to see how others approach a launch. This got me thinking, though. Would it be useful/fun to crowd source launch checklists? Maybe something where people could submit their list and then everyone votes items up/down. I think it'd be cool to have a definitive list that was voted on by hackers everywhere. Sort of a faux industry standard checklist.
Effect of Markets Crash on Entrepreneurs
I've been thinking, today, of the investors and entrepreneurs who bought the talk about sustained recovery and put money on the line during the eight quarters since the recession's official end. They will be punished for their daring if the economy falls back into recession, and the firms that built up ever larger cash piles will be vindicated. It will be harder than ever to pry firms and households away from a deflationary mindset. That's an extremely troubling thought. Risks are pointing overwhelmingly to the downside here, and if major central banks fail to react, the carnage will only grow.

I recall being asked "paper or plastic" in the early 1990s, and Trader Joe's is a modern chain which only has paper bags. San Francisco, as the article points out, banned plastic bags. It can't be that everyone brings their own bags to the store, so clearly the issue isn't that paper is impossible in your area, only that it's not available for you.

In my experience, the fee is a deterrent. I live in a city where plastic bags cost at a grocery store about 15 cents and I can say that I would rather the store not make the profit when I could remember to bring my own or juggle.

In any case, what's wrong with profit? Or if it's a problem, then would you feel better if there was legislation (as there is with some deposit fees) where the state keeps the excess money instead of the store?

The main issue is that the cost of production and sales of plastic bags does not match the cost of the environmental impact. This is similar to beverage deposits. US states with beverage deposit laws have something like 50% fewer cans and bottles found as trash compared with those that don't. The two choices then are either eliminate the source of the problem, or include cleanup costs as part of the sale price.
This is really your biggest fear? Or is that just a figure of speech. I'm genuinely curious, as while I think this "answer" might be intellectually satisfying to some degree, I see it as making little difference in practical matters.

I also think it's an answer that will never come. I don't see any inconsistency between a universe created by God and any scientific observations we make within that creation.

I have use a lot of diffrent programming languages. I have trouble seperating what you can in theory do with a hashmap from what a given implementaiton let's you do with a hashmap.

The difficulty of scaling is not in getting the hardware, but in the operational burden and frequency of failure. With EBS, machine and disk failures are effectively irrelevant and you can instantly migrate to another machine. You don't need to worry much about data loss. If a disk breaks in one of your machines, EBS keeps working. If the machine breaks, the data is still in EBS. If EBS breaks, the back-up is still in S3.

Dedicated hosting and rackspace cloud may be cheaper, but if you expect to be in a situation where failure becomes frequent, you'd better be on EC2.

What about phrases like "In opinion..." or even the simple "I think..."? Clearly whatever you say is what you think and is obviously your opinion. No need for those phrases. It strikes me that they are meant as signs of respect for the other discussion participants. They indicate that you will respect other opinions.

You could always fork the code to make it do exactly what you want, since it is open source.
I didn't downvote you, but I completely disagree. Criticism is telling someone there's something wrong with their project. Constructive criticism is telling someone what specific things should be changed, and in a helpful manner.

"Your home page sucks"

Criticism, not useful.

"You should have a better call to action on your home page. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do here."

Constructive criticism, very useful. It tells someone what's wrong so that it can be fixed. If they're very nice, they'll add a suggestion too.

It's foolish to ignore someone's advice just because they're criticizing your project. Often times, if they're criticizing civilly, it's because they want the project to succeed. If you brush them off as "haters", you're just doing yourself a disservice. Honestly examine all criticism you receive. Yes, plenty of it will be useless criticism from people who want to bring you down, but if you don't pay attention to the ones that care, you're throwing away valuable advice and only hurting yourself.
Is Gamification Bullshit?
The debate on real names and 'nymity misses the point.
Java and the JVM are not the same thing. Java is a programming language. The JVM is a stack-based virtual machine that executes Java bytecode. Java bytecode is what Java compiles into (ie. the contents of .class files).

As it happens, the JVM can't tell if a .class file was generated from compiling Java code, or handwritten, or generated from another programming language altogether. As long as the class file is valid, the JVM will run it. In the case of Scala, "continue" isn't in the language, so bytecode that performs the operation is never generated by scalac. In fact, "break" and "continue" don't even have any meaning at the JVM level. Java bytecode works at the level of gotos and conditional branches.
