Also, think twice before visiting any website. A web browser can be used for many things. Some of those things (like running extensions, or visiting web pages) have the potential to deliver malicious code to a user's machine. It is not Google's responsibility to police the content of the web, or the content of Chrome extensions. Although one could argue that it would be wise for Google to use its vast resources to provide recommendations/warnings on extensions, similarly to what it does for links in Google results that it suspects are delivering malware.

That's disappointing since $10/1000 messages is a good price point IMO. The "cheapest" iPhone plan right now is $40/mo base, $10 for messages, and $15 for a pathetic 200mb of data. Going from $65/mo to $75/mo for essentially no benefit is really underwhelming.. maybe if they atleast bumped it up to 500mb of data, it wouldn't be so bad.

I am literally doing so during lunch today. I've been debating this for the past month and made my final decision last night.

Luckily, I'm out of contract on AT&T, so I don't have an ETF to pay. My only issue is deciding which phone to go for.

I'm trying to decide between the Defy, $299 off-contract and durable, Sensation, and G2x.

I'll probably through Cyanogenmod on whatever I buy ASAP, can anyone comment on the above phones? I'm particularly wondering if a Cyanogenmodded Defy will meet my responsiveness/battery life needs. I don't play games, I just hate laggy UIs, which unfortunately seem to plague Android.
Here is what I hate - a top-rated comment with 22 'recommends' and no dissenting replies:

"boblesch wrote:
the immagration fix is so simple

institute a $1 million fine for every occurrence of employing an illegal. no excuses, no exemptions, no exceptions, no pardons.

the illegal immigration problem will DISAPPEAR the day the first fine is assessed."

This has nothing to do with the issues in the articles and detracts from meaningful change. The primary and pressing immigration issues in the USA have nothing to do with 'illegals' but any attempt to talk about it is quickly derailed into a pro- or anti-illegal debate.

I get so angry sometimes . . .
You have to be paid prevailing wage for that particular geography, not minimum.
On a casual inspection this is just bloated ineptness, exactly what I have come to expect from Adobe.

One passage consisted of a string of empty divs of the form <div class="wrap"></div> which a decent 'code generator' would simply have omitted. In fact the bulk of the bloat appears to be divs which add nothing to the page.

I strongly suspect one previous version of this code generated tables, then they got the "tables used for layout are bad" memo and did a simplistic translation to nested divs.

Perhaps, to be charitable, they have debugging turned on.

Perhaps promoting unlimited SMS can mitigate the move to iMessage and equivalents?

iMessage still uses SMS whenever you send a message to somebody with a non-iOS 5 device. I don't know about you, but I communicate with tons of people who don't have iPhones or even data plans.

This move is ridiculous gouging whatever way you look at it.

This isn't just a hypothetical approach. In the Software Craftsmanship community, consultancies have run apprenticeship programs for years with very good results. Scaling to large businesses might not be easy, but they certainly aren't the only game in town.

In the UK online grocery shopping is actually pretty sizeable, especially amongst the younger people. All the major brands provide the service. Anecdotal but I know a number of people who bought their car off of eBay. I have no counterexamples against everything else but except for gasoline, which is hard to imagine working out, just because things have always been a certain way does not mean they will continue to be so.

A large number of my friends in High School smoked. Many of them were not accepted into college, or are now on academic probation. I always assumed that marijuana was at least contributing to their poor performances in school.

Now I am in the honors college of a fairly good public school, and I am surprised at how many of my fellow honors students smoke.

Nevertheless, I believe that smoking pot is still a bad habit. Many of my friends say that it makes them feel happy and that it makes them relax. That's all well and good, but to me it seems that they became dependent on pot to make them happy and relax. I see first-hand how stressed out many of them get without it, and I can't help but wonder if pot is the problem.

Regardless of whether it makes you dumber, it can kill your motivation because it seems like you've found what makes you happy and you no longer feel like working hard.

Note that I have never used marijuana and am basing my opinion on observations of my friends who do/did.
You should be more honest and re-order 1 and 2. Putting affiliate links into Google search results isn't even in the same category as taking a screenshot of a page. Why "scratch that itch" in an extension that is completely unrelated unless your primary interest was to make money.

Now there's nothing wrong with making money, and I don't even disagree with the way that you attempted to monetize the awesome screenshot extension (via affiliate links). But be honest with users about your motivation. Most will understand.
>NGO's and non-profits I'm assuming that 'data without borders' is not a commercial enterprise

Not-for-profit doesn't mean no-profit, doesn't mean no-income, doesn't mean no-expenses. You can get a crappy logo for $500, I doubt that's beyond their operating budget.

>but from a human/charity perspective it seems rather harsh to consider this an 'insult'..

Spec work is spec work, it will always be insulting. "But the guys doing the insulting are really nice!" is not an excuse.
How do you know that single handshake isn't worth 100,000$? The old symbols are still very powerful. Just because costs seem excessive doesn't mean there isn't a reason.

Our new world mentality where such cost is considered obscene just doesn't map to the genteel, where spending that much money in order to secure a handshake is a matter of showing appropriate respect.

I'm not saying such a culture is _right_, but I am saying it has its reasons for its wastefulness.
Yup. But it's not nearly as cool with the hipster kiddos, or the venture capitalists who cater to them, as social/mobile/photo/videos are. Meanwhile, we are in the distant background, building solid businesses.

A big lesson from this post (at least for me) is how much user interface affects security. He references an older paper "Why Johnny Can't Encrypt" (http://www.gaudior.net/alma/johnny.pdf) where the negative impacts of the user interface in PGP 5.0 are analyzed. This is an old lesson which was not taken into account for the secured P25 handsets.

A similar analysis of the certs/SSL protection in browsers would be very interesting too.

We used this technique once in one of our twisted servers to quickly fix in-memory data structures that had been loaded from old sources.

Recently, my team has been developing most of our newer network services using gevent. It's probably the closest thing to erlang that python has when it comes to programming asynchronous servers.

One of the things I always missed was this manhole feature, but while rummaging around the other day, I found this:

Yes. In a hindsight, I should release a new extension to make money and solve the problem.
You seem to be accusing the man of ignoring "obvious" issues
to push an agenda to calm people, but I don't think that's fair.

1) The CPI is controversial, but so is every proposed system to replace it. For the moment, the CPI is the gold standard, and even if it turns out that its universal adoption is as silly as the actual gold standard was, using it is certainly _not_ a sign of pushing an agenda.

2) He specifically mentions what you accuse him of not mentioning - "Even by the highest estimates — which include people discouraged from looking for a job, thus not registered as unemployed — the jobless rate reached around 16 to 17 percent. It’s a jobs disaster, to be sure, but not the same scale as the Great Depression."

3) Fair, there was a destruction of wealth. But I don't see how that would undermine any of his points.

And your last un-numbered point about GNP is also kind of silly. There's a reason we use GDP now instead of GNP, GNP doesn't accurately reflect our wealth. One could argue that neither does GDP, but again, using the commonly accepted numbers isn't a sign of deliberately concealing an agenda.

There are a billion ways one could measure the economy, and I'm sure we could do better than what we do now. But using them doesn't mean you're deliberately leaving things out in order to push an agenda. It means you're using the vocabulary that economists use.
You can profile and application without running it. That's the whole point of BigO notation. The type of profiling your thinking of is a great place to look for less obvious improvements. AKA my N is probaly above 50,000 so (N^N) not worth looking into.
Is one of the goals for this project to learn a new language/framework or purely to get the project up and running? If it is the latter I would suggest sticking with what you know (PHP) and this way you will get the project off the ground quicker.
If it is part of your goals then first I would suggest looking into whether you want to deploy on something like the google app engine or heroku. This might help you decide if you want to go down the Ruby or Python route.

I disagree. Knowing the details of an apprenticeship program upfront are critical to attract and retain both the "apprentices" and the "masters" necessary to make a program work. It would be unfair to both groups to have divergent programs and skill levels being passed off as apprenticeships.

There are plenty of successful models that a program could be based on. In the US, electricians require 5 years of work with a journeyman + classroom instruction. Professional Engineers require a degree in their discipline, 2 examinations, and 4 years of relevant experience, usually under a licensed engineer before they can get their PE license (its not called an apprenticeship, but an EIT - Engineer-in-Training. You are expected to learn from a more experienced engineer who is responsible for overseeing your work and providing a recommendation before you are licensed).

You don't even have to have followers. People are _paid_ to monitor and respond to _every_ complaint addressed to twitter, and you can abuse this shamelessly:

I'm a nobody on twitter (<30 followers) and I tweeted my cable company about their shitty phone customer service. I ended up emailing a nice woman who was powerless to do anything in the corporate hierarchy, but nevertheless _personally emailed me_ my cable bill for three months until the wheels of bureaucracy turned and fixed the problem.

Social Media people are paid to be cheerful and nice despite the fact that they have no bureaucratic power and no leverage with the technical people. Be nice to them but critical of the company (read: honest about your problems) and they will help you, because they feel the same way. Plus you skip the phone menus.
So guess what? HTML is still source code not a machine language.

Your metaphor would be great, if it wasn't for all the times developers (myself included) have been asked to dig into assembly or bytecode to fix something when the higher level source file had been lost to the ages.

Compared to those, editing machine generated html is a treat.
The developers of this app just lost a lot of trust! Be honest with your users. That's the first rule of developing a good product. It does not matter how much they apologize now, a lot of users aren't going to trust them anymore!

I have only 3 followers, and Charter has done similar things for me. They have three shifts worth of folks who monitor the brand on Twitter and reach out to people who have things to say, both good and bad.

In fact I generally only keep a Twitter account around for calling out Charter when my cable internet isn't working, because I get a response in minutes from someone in my hometown rather than having to talk to a script-wielding service rep in a foreign country.
Ask HN: Single founder seeks SEO/promoter for revenue share
I'm on the lookout for a SEO/promoter interested in a revenue-share agreement. I have approached a couple with this idea but most seem to think I'll disappear once the results start coming or that they could build a site themselves. On my end, knowing who is worth the time in the first place is a challenge.

The site is a non-trivial application in the travel industry and is well-liked by almost everyone I've shown it to. It's been in the press a few times and had a bunch of resulting sales, but I don't have the time to continually promote it -- I'm a one man operation and I need to focus on other things, like actually working on the site itself. I'd like to take a hands-off approach to promotion and I have no problem sharing revenues and signing contracts if it gets me somewhere.

There's no way I am in a unique situation here -- most single founders have probably been in the same position. Any recommendations?

It's sad that this sour grapes is the highest voted comment on the story. Just to reduce the sentiment to its most absurd, should Obama stay inside the White House for his whole term? Would it ever be appropriate for him to fly to another city and only spend a day or afternoon there? If so, can we now imagine other people less exalted than the current POTUS who may also do the same? For example, I bet Al Gore makes one-day trips to cities all year long, and he's quite a champion of not wasting resources. Without knowing the social and economic implications of this man's trip, you're simply in no position to weigh its merits. What I find repellent is your narrow-mindedness.
> I removed it in the new version(3.2.1).

No need to remove it. Just disclose it to the users. It is supposedly a great plugin (as per rating on the chrome store), and you deserve to be compensated for it. Just let people know at the time of installation how this plugin is expected to trickle some money for your efforts, and you should be fine.
It's sad to see the "eat-the-rich" crowd made it over from Reddit.
Interesting display of economics at work here. For whatever demographic your product caters to, they seem to be saying their social media interactions are worth more than $2. Considering absolutely none of them took the offer, I'm assuming the average value they put on it is much higher. Regardless, I'm sure there's a price point where you could get a decent number to take the offer.

You're making a whole pile of assumptions to arrive at judgement.

You're assuming that because you don't have days where you've got to travel several hundred miles an then back that nobody else does...or should.

You're assuming that without the OP getting on the jet, it doesn't make the trip.

I think you just described why your business isn't working. Find the names of the textbooks for each course. If you can't match them up, send them to an affiliate site. Bottom line, though, is you didn't pick an easy thing to get off the ground. But you have a good starting base of traffic. Just keep working on the model until you can make it work by yourself.

In other words, the two problems you listed are fixable - fix them.

Are there any open source build systems that work similarly? I looked at basically everything out there, and none provided this functionality. So my company ended up rolling our own, based on the Google model.

The particular characteristic that I saw missing was package-level build files. All the open source guys really wanted you have one big build file that described how to build everything, rather than bunch of small ones that could be composed.
