No, not in this case. Composers and authors enjoy protection past their death, but this law refers to music performers. These are only protected for 50 years from the date they are created.
But then you lose the impact of the entire set of reserved words. At the point of ignoring the entire alphabet, you're looking at developer preferences for spacing and operators. Might be a nice sidebar to the existing heat maps.

I'm envious of any space startup that actually has working hardware. Scaled Composites, SpaceX, Armadillo, and Blue Origin are all super exciting.

Can't argue with that! I named Scaled Composites mostly because I'm more familiar with what they've done than I am with the others. But that's not to take anything away from the other space startups, for sure.

Show HN: Pictures That Rhyme
A small weekend project built for fun:

You start with a picture and post pics that visually rhyme. Based on whatever you see fit. Of course, you can invite friends, too! Over time a stream of association emerges, the "verse"

The frontpage is at http://picrhyme.com/ and a good example of what happens can be found here: http://picrhyme.com/images/180/history (How to get from Helvetica to Asparagus via Woodstock!)

At least for me it triggers some really ticklish place in my brain, adding those picture rhymes. Maybe you'll enjoy it as much as I do.

Thank you for any feedback and with best wishes.

He opted in to receive spam due to carelessness. I don't see the legitimacy of him making anyone but himself the responsible party. He "killed" his own email account.

Slandering the company that provided a "free" service and gave him the chance to opt out of the cost of that service by calling them untrustworthy also doesn't seem fair.
Mainly because it is the artists right to own their work for their life. Authors get to, musicians don't, this gets especially tricky when you get artists like (hate to mention him) Justin Bieber who have legitimate recording and writing credits in his early teens. Given the sort of healthcare accessible to the extremely wealthy, it's doubtful that this kid wont outlive copyright even at 70 years from his 2009 copyrights.

The problem is it would be like any one of the entrepreneurs on HN being told in X-many years that "Sorry, you lived too long so your company is being taken from you, you'll no longer receive any profit from it and it IS NOT being purchased from you at a fair market value. Sucks to be you.

Copyright is one of the most difficult issues we have, because almost anyone who has worked to make their own money be it entrepreneur, writer, musician, etc. would think it abhorrent that they could eventually be forced to give up their work that may still hold a reputable value on the market be forcibly given up for economic loss. It's quite frankly absurd.

Then you have organizations like the RIAA and MPAA who act on behalf of mega-corps that have conglomerated thousands of peoples work under themselves and keeps those artists trapped with huge debts, lengthy record contracts, etc. The RIAA does to musicians what Monsanto does to farmers. They're elephants throwing their weight around in a pen full of guinea pigs, and its hard to see these corporations as anything but evil and greedy. Basically because all they are are evil and greedy.

Then you have the legislators who all have a lot of green mysteriously slipped into their pockets, and they claim to be pro-business and support copyright because it helps the little guy. Whilst the little guy is generally unable to be helped because they're firmly squashed beneath an elephants feet.

The problem gets really complex when an authors children starts making legitimate derivative works, because then the series as a whole needs to be kept in copyright to enforce the derivative works clause. So who decides what would be a legitimate derivative work to extend copyright to the end of the child's life, and what isn't so the material has a chance to re-enter the market and not be killed off by the Estates greed.

Personally I believe copyright should be 20 years on a work and in case of a series it should be 20 years for the whole from the date of the latest derivative work. Basically, if an author or their estate haven't produced a derivative in 20 years, then it's time to shit or get off the pot. As a writer I don't think this would be harsh, it might encourage creativity and discourage people trying to make Hollywood sales on everything they make.
I always assumed that if they open sourced 3.X, people would start putting it on phones, which it is not deemed ready for yet. These devices would certainly not get official certification from Google, probably they would not even make it to the market, but the fact that they exist would put a lot of pressure on the large manufacturers that could not release with the latest-and-greatest firmware.

When we talk about SEO, we are really talking about two different efforts, on-page SEO and off-page SEO.

On-page SEO is all about ensuring that your content can be fairly evaluated by search engines and humans. For example, changing the permalink structure of your posts from /?p=13 to /understanding-dependency-injection is not gaming the system; it's helping Google (and humans) figure out what your content is really about.

Off-page SEO is what you do outside of your pages to help Google and humans discover your content, as well as providing Google with positive indicators of the importance and relevance of your content. This is what most developers object to.

Consider this. If you have a wonderful article on a blog that you never promote and without an existing audience, your chances of being linked to are slim. Google's ranking algorithm will unfairly think that your content is not that great given that nobody is linking to it.

Your off-page SEO efforts are meant to promote your content, getting people to see it, and obtaining backlinks in legitimate ways. Submitting a quality article to HN, for example, provides value to this community and it's good from a SEO standpoint.

Contrary to popular belief, white hat SEO is good for the web and crucial for the promotion of your app or products.

Those two examples are _exactly_ the same; it's clear you don't understand the actual problem.

With SQL, you must never, EVER mix untrusted data (ie, data from a user) with your trusted code (ie, SQL statements). The same applies to HTML - never, EVER mix untrusted data with trusted code (ie, HTML tags). If you want to mix the two, you must either:

a) first take steps to make your untrusted data trustworthy - for HTML, use an appropriate HTML scrubbing library to remove dangerous tags (or simply escape every & or <). For SQL, you'd have to escape all metacharacters - but I wouldn't recommend doing this for SQL, see below
b) Find a way to transfer the data separately. All modern SQL libraries allow you to specify named variables in your SQL code, then fill in the variables separately. With this, the SQL library takes care of separating the untrusted data and trusted code.

The mechanism used to combine code and data is not the problem - + and #{} are equally harmful if used improperly, and equally harmless if properly escaped .
I like the site. A few notes:

- Running on Heroku is not really an asset security wise. I would put something more significant to ensure users that your site is secure.

- Make sure your site is secure; it will be attacked often and by professionals. Consider hiring an expert.

- The highlighting is kind of distracting and busy.

- You should be able to access some charts and see the going rate without signing up and loggin in.

- What is a Mt. Gox Redeemable code?

- There are laws in most countries that regulate banks in regards to leverage. Have you considered any of this?

- Margin trading is risky and some people will lose more than they bargained for, expect some repercussion.

TechCrunch has always straddled a line between journal of the tech industry and gossip rag about people and companies in the tech industry. In recent years it's steered increasingly toward the latter direction -- essentially becoming Gawker: Valley Edition. No doubt this is because gossipy stories got more pageviews and more comments, and so TechCrunch focused its content accordingly.

It's unfortunate that such a direction gets more attention and more views. But such is life. If you're giving away the content and charging advertisers, then to some degree you're a slave to the almighty pageview metrics. This doesn't have to mean serving up trash to the lowest common denominator, but that's the easiest and most immediately profitable strategy. (Other strategies might include going upscale / higher quality / niche, and then charging advertisers a premium based on the demographic breakdown of the readership).
Having worked with warehouses and warehousing systems, this is actually a real problem.

A normal non-refrigerated warehouse can pick items (grab from the shelf) well in advance of the "pick up" time for carriers, so orders are ready to go when the truck arrives.

In Ernie's model, it becomes a challenge having items ready when customers arrive, yet minimize the amount of time perishables are out of refrigeration.

This could be addressed a few ways :
1. Asking the customer roughly when they expect to pick up their orders
2. Staging orders in refrigerated and non-refrigerated sections for quick final assembly at pick-up
3. A mechanism like you've described to give some advanced warning to the warehouse.

Very interesting stuff indeed -- I'm envisioning some wicked cool cross and upselling opportunities with punchfork.com's API.

I think the most obvious thing to do is to let the community decide (by flagging 9/11 posts). Maybe people should see this as a not-so-subtle hint that the flag link can be seen as a way to downvote posts.

On a more personal note, however, I wouldn't mind it if the mods were a little extra strict with regards to relevance.
No, you're missing the point. Google pays smart people to write proprietary software that they don't sell users access to. Are you confusing the sale of ads with the sale of the software that allows the ads to be effective? Google's sale of their products would be analogous to Amazon allowing sellers other than Amazon.com to sell stuff through their web store. And they do!

The point of the article is that Amazon also sells the web store itself. Google has interesting, proprietary software, but they don't sell search engines, sorting tools, or scalable web hosting.
It honestly depends on what's submitted. Do I consider "Never Forget" type posts irrelevant? Yes.

Pillaging? There's absolutely nothing wrong with giving a new voice to stories that have become part of our cultural consciousness. That's precisely how cultures evolve. We build upon the creations of those who went before us, adding our own unique touches and flourishes.

The only pillaging here is being done by politicians and lobbyists who are preventing new developments from being adapted and evolved. The creative contribution of Hendrix's recording of "All Along the Watchtower" is something many of us appreciate, but we've also seen glimpses into what sort of creations can be made with it (e.g., Battlestar Galactica's adaptation at the end of Season 3) and we're now being denied that by decisions like these.
As long as we have a sue-happy society, companies will use privacy policies to limit liability. That means they will continue to be documents with more text than most of us are likely to read. Icons and diagrams won't work without the text behind them. However, I do agree that just because a document has legal significance does not mean it needs to be full of legalese. We tried to keep our privacy policy as short and light as possible and write it in plain language. http://nodeping.com/PrivacyPolicy
It is funny that you should mention it, because I have spent a lot of time finding keyboard layouts more suitable for programing.

In the end I settled on the programmer dvorak layout. It is basically a standard dvorak keyboard but with the special keys you need to program moved to easier locations (and the dvorak keyboard itself uses the homerow much more efficiently, so there is much less strain on your fingers and your wrists).

Please explain this nonsensical argument. How does the Rolling Stones holding the copyright to Paint It Black stifle someone else's innovation and creativity? Seriously. Innovation and creativity go with being original, and you're encouraging being derivative.

Look at Disney and don't tell me that a lack of copyright makes creativity. A lack of copyright just enables corporations to mass produce drivel from non-copyrighted works and cut out the talented people. Disney is barely a step away from just an algorithm that creates film scripts from Brothers Grimm stories.
Thanks. I knew this was wrong as soon as it left my keyboard.

I guess the problem we're having is that the Fed's mandate is to keep unemployment low, not to expand the currency as the population expands.

I really don't understand how a currency supply is supposed to track growth, when one of the means of controlling currency expansion, the discount rate, can actually stimulate growth sometimes, right?

Good point.

I think a good strategy would be,

* Spend an entire night reading the term sheet yourself. Your interests in a good outcome (as founder) may uncover details others have missed.

* Ask other founders (who've previously taken investment) to look at the agreement too. A fresh set of (experienced) eyes can't hurt.

* Make the most of lawyers. They've certainly been around the block too, but the trick is to tap their knowledge and not incite a fee-charging frenzy.

* Lastly, search for terms you don't know and try to understand everything. After all, for most of us, it would be one of the most significant moments of our lives.

Can you specify what do you mean? If the patents aren't valid, Google would surely have them canceled, wouldn't it? If they are valid MS are paid for their hard work or hard work somebody else did and they purchased it. Hardly "questionable".
the most that hackers can do is to get some free money

That sounds pretty serious, and also a very laxidasial attitude to the security of money. You want me to give you some of my money?

People aren't worried with being hacked per se, we're not too concerned with if your server stays up, or if someone writes a temp file or if they make your heroku bill go really high. 'Security' in this case means my money and/or my bitcoins, which I'm entrusting to you. Can you make sure my money doesn't disappear? Statements like "well all that can happen is the money disappears" does not make me trust you.

All software has security vulnerbilities. Nothing in 100% secure. You need to know what your vulnerbilities are. You are entrusting your users to not reuse passwords, that's a vulnerbility. You should have a list written down (privately) of your vulnerbilities.

- Source being viewed

I assume you mean the Ruby on Rails source code of your application? That should not be a security mechanism. You should be able to put that online and let everyone look at it without that having any security implications.
