It's not a perfect system, but I'd rather subsidize a few bums like your friend and also subsidize people who really do need welfare / disability / unemployment.

Website design: MoFo abandons radical redesign experiment
We've tried sending design mockups to clients with the copy already inserted instead of Lorem Ipsum for this exact reason. It usually tends to lead to disappointment when the browser renders their copy slightly differently to Photoshop
If you're in Firefox, you can disallow pages from choosing their own fonts. Preferences->Content, advanced in the font section, and uncheck the option.

Can we pretty please have this by default?
Your credit card company knows about these purchases already. What does does linking it to your search history make different?
"The advice I would give you however is to send your CV as a Word or PDF document and include a link to your LaTeX version."

I understand why a recruiter would want an editable resume (Word), to strip off the candidate's PII and add the recruiter's branding. I don't understand why a hiring company, receiving a resume sent directly from candidate to company, would need an editable resume.

Just a heads up: HN doesn't use Markdown, so you can't link URLs like that. You can just type a URL and it'll become a link (shown truncated if its too long). Another popular convention is to use brackets as footnotes[1] and put the URL at the bottom of the comment.

[1] Like this.
The headline+video look great. I'm curious, though: why is the "Download for Free" button bigger and brighter than the "Create a Campaign" button (which is clearly more important)? And why does it say "Live Demo" if it's just a downloadable PDF?
In the context of Lorem Ipsum versus the revelations of the Pentagon Papers, maybe a little over the top, sure.

I think my main point was that it now occurs to me how flawed it is for an entire team to work on/refine/agree upon the design of a website and a key piece of company branding without putting apparently any thought up front into that most key piece of the website - the copy. So yes, I agree with you on all points.
It's the first one mentioned.
Or you (directly or via the agreed project plan) tell them it could take seven days to sort everything after the copy is delivered. They deliver the copy very late (and not in the agreed format) and get upperty when they find not absolutely everything has been done by 0900 the next day. Because you should have been organised and ready to deal with the content as soon as it arrived...
Doesn't the saying go: "If it exists, there's porn for it on the internet."
I've seen the footnote thing plenty. I guess I thought they were auto-generated or something?? Leaving the error for all the world to see. Anyway, thanks...
Thank you. The concept is similar. I did not like the fact that customers would have to authorize the app to post to their Twitter or Facebook accounts in order to post the status update. Instead, I just use the Like boxes from each of the networks. I look at it as a less-intrusive approach. And, if they decide the offer wasn't good enough or they didn't like it, they could remove the post. But I understand your point. I'm just as curious to see what the user behavior is.

This was my first project with Bootstrap and it did not disappoint.
Seconded!

Our fail2ban processes were using a not-insignificant amount of resources while sshd was listening on port 22. Moving to a high port shifted it to somewhere in the "dead last" range in the CPU time column.
Seems pretty obvious that the plan here is to sell the DVD business (perhaps to PE), raise capital, and use it to do a combination of original content creation and for leveraged with the main studios to get the same premium titles into the streaming service that would already be available on the DVD service.

However if I'm right the CEO Reed isn't being any more forthcoming or communicative about his true plans then he was before.

I've been curious about this lately and even though they're silent now, I'd hope to learn why there have been so many delays come launch time (may be a bit too hopeful, though). Focusing on the delay itself, it's important to realize that Apple has been putting out pretty solid releases year after year on time. To build major releases of software and hardware year to year, that takes an immense amount of effort. Hopefully the delays have no major effect on the device itself and the time that we've all spent waiting will be worthwhile. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
I'm a 1-man company and moving too fast has destroyed my social life and will to live.
I am fascinated because the demo and presentation was probably a lot more work than creating the plugin itself? (Is it basically an arrow always pointing to the same point?)
Ok, or any other user account then - you're right you should disable root login, I was just using it as example
Fortunately, this wasn't the first product demo I made :).

Check out the Mixergy interview with Miguel Hernandez of Grumo Media. He talks about some great tricks you can use to make simple product demo videos.

Basically, it's really good stock illustrations + some good Keynote work + a blanket over your head to cut out the echo as you record the voiceover on your computer. I actually really enjoy making them.
Great concept, nice delivery too! I hope this works out, if you have any case studies perhaps from your test clients, I'd love to read them and maybe show this to my marketing director.

Though I have one pause: "Viral". Has use of the word viral essentially trumped "social"? I don't mean to knock the work you've done here, because you've put work into it and I'd like to use it myself. I just want to know why the term viral has been slapped on your product, it's not viral because you say it is (http://johngushue.typepad.com/blog/2010/05/its-not-viral-jus...). Keep this motto in mind: "Under promise, over deliver". If someone signs up for this expecting instant viral success, and fails, that hurts your brand, no?

Good luck, I've bookmarked this :)

How did you first find out about the next show z that you want to watch? Content distributors know that often some is introduced to their next show z while watching x on y. They want to make y one of your dedicated content discovery places.
It is by no means well proven that having IP at all is overall beneficial. So rather than saying we definitely need it, it is quite possible we would be better off with none.

What do Landes and Posner say?
(in 'The economic structure of intellectual property law'; Landes, Posner; 2003.
Conclusion, p422, s3.)

"Economic analysis has come up short of providing either theoretical or empirical grounds for assessing the overall effect of intellectual property law on economic welfare."

and:

"It is a reasonable surmise [as well] that some core patent and copyright protection is welfare-improving."

('surmise' meaning of course: 'a supposition that something is true without having evidence to confirm it')
File this with UFO sightings. I agree that the sudden uptick in litigation reflects Apple being defensive but also paranoid to the fact that the iPhone can lose its edge as they transition to the post-Jobs era. Still, that doesn't suddenly make them underdogs as this article paints the picture. The massive user base ensures a stable upgrade market for some time. I'd be very afraid of Samsung too but Apple always had a feisty legal department (remember how they tried to shut down Apple rumor blogs long before the iPhone?) but they never shied away from out innovating competition.

Having said that, there's nothing technically remarkable about iOS 5 that combined with fancier hardware would make it more enticing to upgrade from iPhone 4 so far. I'm praying for surprise (like weather proof or charging via conduction).
It's behind a paywall :(

Thanks for the heads-up though.
They're simply moving their release schedule closer to Christmas, which makes perfect sense. Just imagine how many hubbies will buy their wife an iPhone 5 for Christmas! A June-July release means that people feel it's already "old" by the time December comes and will likely just wait for the new one that "just around the corner anyways".
I haven't used shared hosting providers in years... but when I did, very few of them allowed shell access, and for very good reason.

Even a properly secured system can be vulnerable to known and unknown privilege escalation bugs.
Your past work is the only tangible evidence of your current ability. A good design with bad copy looks like a template, which may be OK if you design templates, but if you design websites, copy is extremely important.
To Davidson's eye bleeding I would add, don't add unrealistic, unsubstantiated revenue/profit numbers! Make realistic, scenario-based financial projections. Look how long it took twitter to get up to $400k in just revenue. I always see these startups that are like, $12,000 the first quarter, $234,000 the second quarter, $4.8m in year two.

It's like, come on guys, don't just multiply out the numbers and throw it in a spreadsheet. Tell me why the numbers are going to go up the way you've predicted, what's behind it. Tell me some scenarios, what if you get x sales from y convention, what if you do or do not get a deal with EBay, what are your plans in each case, how does it impact the financial projections.

What ends up happening 95% of the time is these unrealistic numbers don't get met, then the business owner comes hat in hand back to the investor(s) at a disadvantage, and neither party is happy. Stick to greater realism and predictability and both you and your investors will have a better time.
Counterpoint: my cofounder and I worked for free for the first year. By far, our largest costs were in product and advertising.
A lot of organisations have a system/process for dealing with job applicants and most (at least in London) need an editable copy. Plus, as I mentioned in the post, not everyone is familiar with LaTeX so it can be a bit hit or miss.
3 Microemprendimientos Rentables Que Deberías Conocer
Funny how you think it's acceptable for a state to adhere to any religion.

It's an abomination. And the fact that this religion demands state power makes that religion an abomination. Frankly - you are lucky the government is so very very clueless. If they did what this disgusting religion demanded of them ...

what's the punishment for criticism of the state according to the hadith again ? I forgot.
honestly this looks like a little advice on how to format your resumé / look for a job online. I saw nothing about acing the interview or how to write a really killer cover letter.

Part of it may be how they seem to cycle OSX and iOS releases. With the Lion launch I'm sure engineers are stretched thin.
"approached by a funded startup" implies to me that your are being asked to be employee #N. You are unlikely to have any significant equity percentage, and that equity will almost definitely be in a category that only receives any money after the funders and founders are well-compensated.

In short, consider it a job - any payout from the acquisition will be minimal. Evaluate the job based on the work you'll be doing and the immediate compensation you will receive, and even more than when working for a stable company, be prepared to move on whether by your choice or events beyond your control.

How to do an iMac Repair
Yes I do work sometimes for free - its called Open Source - and sometimes I see my labor implemented into commercial projects. That's fine by me. I take from the well more than I give to it.

I entirely agree that Apple should be compensating those that disclosure exploits appropriately - I didn't say otherwise. But if you have a status quo where a vendor won't compensate and you have a zero-day opportunity, I say the appropriate thing is to inform the vendor first anyway (you can always disclosing publicly if you get no response). I fight for the user and all that.

Disclosing it publicly zero-day doesn't make you any money anyway.
Methadone Overdose leads to Medical Malpractice
The title is 'How to find a job' not 'How to secure a job'.

Finding the opportunity is the hardest part and cover letters aren't as relevant as what you may think. I'm sure your post is great for interview advice, mine was aimed at helping people get those interviews in the first place.
That's awesome :) so cool that open source -design- benefits programmers too!
Anybody using that argument is talking nonsense. There is no evidence that cutting a cabbage causes it pain and suffering.

On the other hand, you can look at the vast similarities between our nervous systems and those of other vertebrates as well as their behavior under pain (squealing and so on) to reasonably conclude that these animals feel pain like we do.
All of these were great, but I think I enjoyed the Baroque Cycle the most. Comes probably from the long-time passion of reading (and re-enacting) history...
I guess the difference is the "one stop shop" nature of it.

With everything linked onto one site, all you need is for that future oppressive government to have access to Google's archives to know everything about you - whether it was in the form of a purchase, a search, an email, a calendar item, a shared document subsequently deleted, a visit on a site with doubleclick or google ads, etc.

It's a totalitarian regime's wet dream come true.

"I don't like X anymore, give me all the dirt on him." "Here you go."

Or even, criticising the bundling together of any multiple services:

"The town of X is too libertarian. Send everyone a file outlining the illegal things each of them has done over the last 20 years online which would make them liable to immediate internment."

Even just the fact that google owns AdSense could be a problem from this point of view:

"Round up all those who ever arrived on a google-monitored page via hacker-news links. People from that place are 98% more likely to be subversive. I want them all shot."

It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you. And history shows that sometimes, they are.

How's that an upside considering that's what they currently have? Instead of one charge on your credit card there will be two that add up to the same thing. At best (for Netflix). This will not raise revenues.

I'm assuming there are many NS fans on HN, so I'll ask this here.

The only NS book I've read is Anathem, and while I enjoyed the story his writing style seemed too self-indulgent for me to really get into. Renaming/redescribing major mathematical and philosophical theories in a parallel dimension? Look how smart NS is. Quantum monk space ninjas? Oh man that's so cool can they be pirates too?

That being said, he's been lauded so consistently that I'd like to read more of his work and figure out what I'm missing. What would HN'ers recommend?

I'm going through this process myself and I think one thing that'd be great is if you can A/B test your resume. What do you think about the general idea for a website that lets you do a hot or not style A/B test for resumes? Basically, limit it to programmers, Upvote / Downvote the resume and a comment section.
The new branding includes a CEO and it's being billed separately. Not to mention being completely separated online (no shared ratings or searching). It's a different company.
Regarding point 1. Netflix just created a huge discoverability problem. We ditched our streaming package and became a DVD-by-mail customer only. Not for lack of want or desire to be a streaming customer though. I'm just not all that crazy about paying their monthly fee for TV shows (I already have cable) and backlist DVD content.

We like movies. I can't see how we're not a target customer, but I can't get most new releases on Netflix streaming. Now that streaming and DVD-by-mail are separate companies, how will Netflix convert customers? With completely separate websites, what opportunities will exist to inform me that the movie I'm about to receive in the mail is also available through their streaming plan? I'd like to know that, because the moment they lock up deals for the content I want, I'd be on board.

I agree that good planning software would offer the ability to tie into a curated bank of resources. The ones I have seen are spotty, and understandably so. Wikipedia works, in part, because there can only be one article about any given topic. But in a bank of lessons, you'd have to allow multiple lessons about the same topic, if they approach the teaching in a different way. Curating such a bank is an interesting problem, and I have not seen it done well yet. I would argue it has to be free to be done well - any such bank that sits behind a paywall would not build enough lessons to be complete, and it would not reach enough people to make education better overall.

Tying in to a bank of resources is not a requirement, though. You have to think in terms of unit planning, rather than just lesson planning. A unit might consist of three investigations. So on the first page or screen, a teacher gives a title, unit description, and one-sentence description of the three investigations. In a word processor, the teacher has to copy those descriptions onto separate pages to describe each investigation in more detail. Planning software would do that automatically for you, so changing the description of the investigation in one place would change it everywhere in the unit plans.

I am still trying to decide how I feel about the role of non-profit and for-profit organizations in education. People should definitely be paid for their work. So a team should be able to propose a solid solution to this issue, gather funding from public resources, and make the final product available to everyone while paying themselves a fair market rate.
Netflix splits off DVD service to Quickster
Every day you wake up in the morning, work, and then you put your head on your pillow at night. You never get that day back, it’s gone forever and your life is one day shorter. You’ve either done good work or bad during that day. How many days of bad work can you tolerate before you decide to make a change in your life?

I think at some level people either decide that they don’t care about their work or they care enough that bad work is painful. It’s not for me to tell you or anybody else which way to go with this, but for me, bad work is painful and it’s up to me to work things out with clients such that I do good work and they are happy with the results.

Hmm, I'm not sure whether an ARM board is really a good idea.
For most applications, a normal Arduino is easily sufficient.
For anything more complicated, you can buy an ARM board running Linux (e.g the upcoming Raspberry Pi [1] for $25-$35).

Arduinos are primarily used for education and prototyping.
Programming raw ARM chips makes sense if you build a small series of specialized devices and want to keep costs down.

Given that the Arduino Due will certainly cost significantly more than $30, I see no market for such a board.

Don't worry, Anathem's the only book where he renames things like that, and that's mainly because his construction necessitates it. He is rather self-indulgent though. Snow Crash or Cryptonomicon are good starts, and if you like them you should then upgrade to Diamond Age.
