Id say call the school, another parent, or any other point of contact you could possible imagine before you go smashing up your car in a panic... I never really understood the lapse of social responsibility in these situations. Not to take away from the complete horror at the thought of your child being shot or kidnapped (I could never come close to knowing how that feels) but these are the inherent dangers that come with new technologies (specifically information tech). I mean really though, what are these parents going to do to protect their kids against armed gunmen? We have witnessed the powerful benefit of twitter and FB, etc in assisting communities and families in the aftermath of disaster, but what have these "instant info systems" done to help people mid disaster or to prevent one all together? It's fast, but its not time travel... Id say just keep your reliable sources on check and close at hand. But then again, I cant say I wouldn't go barreling down the street in a panic to make sure my loved one were ok.

fm21-150 is the rather notorious 'Hand to hand combatives' handbook that was in use from around WWII until, IIRC, the late 1950's. Much of the research is not very sound, as evidenced by the low amount of detail and general amateurishness in the description of the techniques (for example, the suggestion to knock a sentry KO by taking his helmet and hitting him over the head with it) It was replaced by research from Applegate and the likes (based on experiences in WWII and subsequent wars like Korea) in the 1960's and 1970's, which in turn was replaced with the MACP (Modern Army Combatives Program) in the 1990's.

So yes, it's poorly written and superstitious (although the 'sixth sense' thing isn't completely bogus - although there's nothing mystical about it, it's more about the state of mind of the attacker and the avoidance of tunnel vision than a true sixth sense in the mark). But also remember that field manuals have to be written in a way to be easy to teach, to the lowest common denominator (soldiers, aka cannon fodder) who usually, and especially at that time, came from lower socio-economic backgrounds and had little critical thinking or analytical skills.

As the authors state - that 5 trillion is not going to build schools or hospitals.

It's almost certain that some chunk of it is being spent on (for-profit) hospitals and schools. But you are correct - some it is is spent on automotive manufacturing, telecom infrastructure, heavy equipment producers, sporting goods, etc.

Is there some reason to believe that schools and hospitals is a better use of the money than these other projects?

That's true, but the grandparent's point is important also - most people seldom fully understand their own motivations, and most people have trouble seeing themselves as outsiders see them. It's a pain to fire someone, and then you have to go find a replacement, so even if the manager didn't like him, the manager probably thought there was a real reason to fire him. Even if the manager was wrong.

It's almost like that but times have changed. In 1938 it was mainly a broadcast of a message which then wasn't easy to broadcast again by the people. Nowadays you broadcast something and in a couple of minutes it can reach the whole country just because of re-tweets and mobile messages. The end result can be a good number of times worse because of this.

From the technical aspect this is well done because it shows the power of CSS. From a designer's point of view it is quite far from perfect. The icons look weird and the active state looks quite uninspired with only showing an inner shadow. We shouldn't over hype such things just because "there are no graphics used". The user doesn't care if there are graphics used or not. Also the user won't recognize a difference in loading time because the icons wouldn't weight many bytes.

I suspect it's likely to be:

RoR: Large number of contributors with relatively small patches, few full time contributors who are paid just to work on RoR.

Linux: Possibly smaller number of overall contributors but supplying more patches each, and more patches in total. More contributors who are paid to work on the kernel on a full or part time basis.
I was expecting a print stylesheet which hides header, footer, img, nav, menu and object html tags among other. Which reduces margins and paddings, and set the font-size of the text and h{1,6} to something reasonable. Also makes text black on white if it's not already the case, in order to spend as little ink as possible.

Instead, this is a not-that-funny joke, which will actually waste paper because of the sentence that will make the printed sheet not reusable for anything else than draft paper (and that's for people who won't throw it right away... :-/).

Then again, telling people not to print web pages when it's not an absolute necessity is a very good thing. But this print.css thing is not the solution. I don't understand the upvotes.

HN has an incredibly high number of good commenters but with the exception of people I know in real life or a couple of high profile cross-referenced commenters like patio11 I don't feel like I build up a mental profile of anyone else.

I'd like to read people's comments in the context of their previous comments. Other readers may be much better at this than me but I find it hard to index what people are saying against just a handle.

It would be great to see some more clues to people's identities appearing next to their names - not necessarily a photo but perhaps a snippet of who who they are / what they do (their about section perhaps). It doesn't have to be there all the time, onmouseover would be great but it would be nice to easily get that reference.
I assume that was a bit of dry humour there. If not, well then god help us all.

Oh give me a fking break.

> That $5 trillion dollars is not money invested in building roads, schools, and other long-term projects, but is directly transferred from the American economy to the personal accounts of bank executives and employees.

This argument applies to any salary paid by any firm. Plus of course salaries are spent and invested, which is the very definition of a successful economy.

> In other words, banks take risks, get paid for the upside, and then transfer the downside to shareholders, taxpayers, and even retirees.

Right. Just like any other public company.

This guy has made a career out of one single, simple premise, which through fortuitous timing on his behalf, made him a lot of money.

It's also extremely trite to be dissing the banks like this when everything he is is thanks to the banks. Doubly so as he profited from shorting the equity markets.

Whilst I'm not saying that banks don't have a fair amount to answer for, his arguments and assertions are bullshit, more characteristic of a hack journalistic seeking to sensationalise and troll, not a "Professor of Risk Engineering" at a top University. For some great comment on this and why Washington have a lot to answer as well, see Alastair Heath's piece [1] in today's City AM - a great journalist whose editorial column I read nearly every day and someone who actually knows his stuff.

It's only passingly relevant to the story but I hate when people bring up Choi Jin-Sil in this context (that's the name of the South Korean actress mentioned in the article). A few facts about that case...

1. She had a history of battling Depression and at the time was depressed over the suicide of her close friend.

2. She didn't leave a suicide note or give any reason for her suicide.

3. Her brother, who also had a history of depression, also killed himself a couple years later

4. Far from being bullied by the Internet trolls she had fought back and pressed charges. The police had made an arrest at the time of her death (libel is obviously a much bigger thing in South Korea)

5. Less than 6 days passed between when she reported the issue to the police and when they made an arrest. So anonymity didn't pose that big an obstacle

The South Korean policies were really just politicians jumping on the tragic death of a popular star and trying to make it look like they fixed a problem.

My wife managed an independent bookshop for a few years (The Travel Bookshop) which had not only a prime London location and a nice niche, but a worldwide feature film to draw punters in from.

Show HN: Site in beta, feedback appreciated
Hey guys,

I would really appreciate it if you could take a look at my new site that I have put into private beta this weekend. In summary it is a site for photographers, graphic designers and web designers to get private feedback on their work.

There are plenty of sites out there were we can post our work and get it seen but sometimes you need to be able to get some feedback before having it on a public display. This is part 1 of the longer term plan. The beta has the basics to enable users to review each others work, the number of images are limited at the minute but I will be extending that over the next couple of weeks. Part 2 brings the ability to buy reviews from experts in each of the fields, I am currently building those relationships up. I have been tweaking for the last few weeks and finally had to stop and let people use it.

A bit of background

-------------------

My medium term hobby (3 years) has been Photography and I have managed to get to a level where I pulled a portfolio together and found getting feedback on what worked well together quite difficult. I had limited success with individual images on sites like Flickr/500px etc but really needed someone to see my work as a whole and let me know what needed to go, what areas to focus on and what didn't work. I went along to a couple of in person portfolio reviews and found them really useful but when you are producing work at any frequency it is hard to get along to the reviews with a day job and when you factor in travel and time they become really expensive.

So about a year ago I had the idea to build this site and for about 6 months worked through how it would work with the intention of paying a developer to build it for me. I had lots of good conversations with both local and remote developers but had a nagging feeling that I wanted to have a go at it myself. My only other experience coding was about 10 years ago when I butchered a basic recruitment site together in Dreamweaver. In between I have worked in various IT roles mostly described as a Suit but not laid down any code in this time so this has been a great learning experience. I built it with PHP/MySQL and bought some design skills in through Theme Forest templates.

I have an iPhone and iPad, and sure - I do use a lot of native applications - but the browser certainly is one of my most-used apps on the tablet.

I think my top useage on the iPad is:
1) RSS reading (native app syncing with Google reader)
2) A browser (a tabbed-one)
3) GPS apps (Coyote / Navigon)
4) Instant messaging
5) Games (Death rally, Monopoly, Infinity blade, Minigore, Cut the rope, ...)
6) Mail
7) Movies (Youtube, Plex, TED, ...)

So the top 2 is actually web-browsing. The RSS reading is mostly looking at a Webkit-view anyway... I typically use a tablet when I'm relaxed and have the time.

On the phone however, this is completely different, although I mostly have both at hand. I use my phone in much shorter bursts, on the road. The phone is more an "I need to know something now" device, as quick as possible. Web-only simply can't beat that, small native apps are a lot quicker to start, offer a better interface for such a small display, well-optimized web-apps for smaller displays are not that easy to find. My top-apps are mostly phone and communication-related things like calling, texting, calendar, reading mail and facebook. Then stuff like google maps, and apps specialized in searching specific things or quickly looking up something, like weather, restaurants in the direct surroundings, ... And games :p

I do think the web is important, most apps use web-api's anyway, but one of the points of apps that is overlooked a lot - is that the online market makes it easy to browse for specific applications, native only. If there was something like the appstore for online native applications built-in in the os, where I could search for them, see popularity and ratings, I would probably use a lot more, certainly if they would have the quality of the full HTML5 financial times app, which is simply amazing.

Just walk away from this. Focus your energies on getting another gig right now. Whatever happens at your earlier place of work is not your concern anymore. as long as you are happy and your conscience tells you that you put your heart to it, you are good. Sure, there is the feeling of hurt, and of being done in, but it's an opportunity as well.

Remember, the talent-less are political, by nature. Also remember, karma usually comes full circle.

Ask HN: Suitable company structure for single founder looking for angels, non-US
My country, Indonesia, was colonized by the Dutch. We inherit their legal structures including how companies are formed. As such, we don't have structures like C/S-Corp or LLC. AFAIK, we only have:

- Naamloze vennootschap (NV) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naamloze_vennootschap
- Commanditaire vennootschap (CV, limited partnership)
- And some others which are not contextual with my question (such as Sole Proprietorship).

Now, many people in Indonesia think NV is similar with Corporation, in the sense that it's a legal entity, has the concept of shares and limited liability. BUT... it has to be formed "at least two shareholders are willing to invest capital" (http://business.belgium.be/en/managing_your_business/setting_up_your_business/company_types/public_limited_company/, from Google). CV allows one man show, but it's not limited liability, and converting it to NV later on can be tedious.

The problem is, I'm a single founder and currently approaching an angel investor to invest in my idea using convertible debt. Ideally, like in US(?), I can just setup a company, get the money, and life goes on. But since we don't have such Corp/LLC thing, I could:

- Start a CV, and be prepared to lose my house if I can't pay back the investor.
- Start a NV, by asking my mom to be my partner with minimum share allowed.
- Or, how?

And, have I told you that the investor is a foreigner (non-Indonesian)?

Note: I know it's a bit silly to ask this in US-centric community, but I'm pretty sure there are lots of non-US citizen here who might have the same dilemma with me.

I can only imagine that if bookstores started charging admission, big publishers would want a piece of it.

One other model that the article doesn't mention is evolving bookstores into 'show rooms' for books and ebooks. In a way, they are already for many people who use Amazon.
