I'd be more than happy to run Italy for a few years.

First, I'd lower the costs of creating an Srl (limited liability company) from thousands of euro to at most 100.

Second, I'd get serious about collecting taxes from people that owe them, and try and get rid of some of the ridiculous taxes.

Third, I'd put guys with machine guns at the crosswalks with orders to turn cars that don't stop for pedestrians into swiss cheese.

By the Way, What Have You Done That’s So Great?
Authorization advice for Rails 3 and beyond
When your trying to loose weight, finding if there is anything else that might be making it hard can be helpful. Taking a blood test and finding out you have iron problems could literally save your life. 4 Hour Body kind of drills regular testing to see how your body is doing, and those accurate tests can be a wake up call. Seeing 30% body fat from a DXA scan surprised me a bit, since I estimated I was around 25% At the very least do it once or twice if you've never had a comprehensive blood test and a DXA scan to see where you are now and possibly catch things you've never tested for even once.

If your the typical fat american too, pre-diabetes and heart attacks happen to 20-somethings too. It's estimated in about a decade from now, %50 of the US population will be diabetic/pre-diabetic. Cancer can occur also, I know people who've died of cancer in their 30s, and pretty much the only way to somewhat avoid/'cure' cancer is the earliest possible detection, and that's no where near foolproof even then.

Weight gain can sneak up on you too even if your not doing too much that's different in your diet and exercise. I'm 25 and I'm starting to thin out in my hair region. Aging can catch up to you quicker than you think and if you have health insurance and an income, taking your health seriously and spending money on things like these can really reap benefits in the future.
We have had other stories today. It should not be surprising that the death of such an influential person in technology would generate a lot of buzz.

Do we really need to have someone re-engineer the site because a few people get annoyed on extremely rare occasions like this?

happy to offer my 2 cents, but inDinero hasn't been PR crazy for almost a year. My email address is in my HN profile.

We've been keeping quiet, trying to get more of our core basics right. Among all the mistakes I made, I'd say getting PR too early was one of them. And not having a plan to stay relevant after an initial PR blast was my next mistake.
I think Horace's intention here was to inspire us all to believe that we are closer to becoming great than we think we are. I'm not crazy about the rhetorical device "Steve Jobs was not X", because of its absolute tone.

Read less literally, the reader could take a lot of things away from this list: the value of teamwork, trust, seeing things through, and being yourself. Steve Jobs was unique in many ways, not the least of which was an absolute commitment to the things he believed to be true. There are plenty of people out there today doing that same thing, but their ideas are horrible. Still, I'm thankful for them, for without that dedication there would have never been a Steve jobs.
As someone who does community management/marketing, I take claims like security issues very seriously. If someone at 4pm messaged such over Twitter to my startup, I'd call the CEO and all engineers immediately, regardless of the time. I don't think I'm a doorman there, but rather the first line of defense/listening.
I can't help but think that maybe Jobs just didn't have a positive review of the book. I've never read it but the most helpful reviews on Amazon are not favorable.

In children, myopia typically starts as a small problem and gradually grows as the child grows. The flaw wouldn't necessarily get more serious without glasses, it's a matter of knowing that the child has it and possibly needs glasses. Not being able to see the board clearly can be an educational problem.

In my elementary school, we had mandatory semi-informal eye exams. My myopia got diagnosed around grade two or three in one of these exams.

I've only started Team Fortress Classic a few times. It feels really outdated. That said, how can that old game be more fun that TF2? TF2 is shock full of funny sounds, signs, taunts and so on!

Watch Meet the Sniper: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyNuriXG3BQ or Meet the Demo Man: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxps--huGKY&feature=relmf...

Listen to some of the Demo Man sounds: http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Demoman_responses . The game is really well done, you have funny characters to pick from.

- Demo Man - One-eyed drunk cyclops who is a black scottish patriot.

- Sniper - Talks like Michael Caine did in the 60's. Throws "jarate" at people.

- Engineer - Texas redneck with tech know-how.

and more...

I really love TF2 and play it a lot, so should you!
The idea that "diet" is alternative is ludicrous.

Diet is largely considered alternative medicine in America. Obviously pancreatic cancer cannot be cured with diet. However, some conditions respond favorably to diet and other lifestyle modifications.

Hypertension can be reversed through weight loss and diet, the Mayo Clinic even publishes books about how to do it. However, in the USA, it's largely considered a secondary line of treatment because doctors assume (correctly) that most Americans won't change their eating habits, even if it's a matter of life and death.
Steve Jobs also did not share the credit. Like Elizabeth Warren said, "Nobody ever made a million dollars by themself."

You're so close to understanding this essay, and yet I fear you're a thousand miles away.

I'm going to kill the poetry by trying to explain it, but try translating each phrase like this: When you read:

"Steve Jobs did not [do X], he [did Y]."

read it as:

"It's not so much that Steve Jobs did [legendary thing X], as that he did [apparently simple thing Y, and did you notice that by doing so he just happened to accomplish X as a side effect?]"

The author agrees with you.

(Note, by the way, that my rephrasing is absolutely bloated with weasel words that diminish its impact. That's why the original author wrote the way he did, at the expense of losing the literalists in the audience.)
Uh...if every member of a species happened to be immortal, that species would be the most successful species ever. Natural selection is all about getting rid of individuals who can't hack it. An individual who can't die is clearly one that can hack it, and is perfectly adapted to all situations.
I don't know about his diet, but I do know it's virtually impossible to have healthy lifestyle with the responsibilities he has. He might have needed Apple, but there is a chance he put his body over the limit and ignored symptoms

In my life, I have had the good fortune to interact with all sorts of talented people. To me, Steve Jobs stands out most for his clarity of thought. Over and over again he took complex situations, understood their essence, and used that understanding to make a bold definitive move, often in a completely unexpected direction.

So true.

Exactly. Longevity and maintenance are the key.

The reason to want to live longer? One word: space.

Living hundreds of years in good health will allow us all to become a space faring race. It will allow us to take the long view on interstellar travel, our species and relationships. I'm hoping to see that day and having Steve leave so early only solidifies the importance of longevity in my mind. Intelligence is not meant to die, it's meant to live. We accept death only because we have to and have been powerless to stop it. Technology is starting to change all that.
You don't think hearing Jobs and Wozniak discussing the future of personal computers would have been all that enlightening? Did you watch the linked video? Wozniak explicitly refutes you. He says they discussed personal computers extensively and Jobs always pushed him to engineer ideas that other people weren't envisioning. He says that Jobs needed him at the beginning and that Wozniak owes much more after that to Jobs.

It's pointless to try to determine who was more important to Apple's initial success anyway. It's like trying to figure out whether the calves or the thighs contribute more to a vertical jump. Try keeping your legs perfectly straight at the knees and jumping with just the feet: You'll only get a couple inches off the floor. Now try keeping the ankle locked and jump off the heels with your thighs: You'll get a little higher. But if you take a full natural jump with your upper and lower leg, you'll jump far higher than the addition of both before. The point is, sometimes synergies just can't be broken down into obvious component forces.
I appreciate the perspective and fully agree. I'll admit to being somewhat uncomfortable with all the gushing and deluge of tributes to the memory of someone that yes, accomplished much, inspired many, had great vision and the drive to bring that to fruition. Yet I wonder whether he would be comfortable with this level of adulation. The _why quote was most appropriate and consistent with Jobs' message too, shut up and create.

This service sounds great. Almost too good to be true (they'll scan and organize your "receipt shoebox" for free?). But I do have to say it's a little alarming that after signing up, it appears I can't do anything further without entering all my private bank details (including password and security question!) into a website that is not my bank.

Let's recap: 1) Website I've never heard of before 2) sounds too good to be true 3) immediately requires my bank's password.

I'm not saying this is a scam--infact I'm sure it isn't since I was sent there from a TC aritcle--but unfortunately logic still prevails and I have to pass on this one. I wish there was a way to test drive the site by manually uploading or entering my details (and if there is a way already, it should be more apparent how to do so).
That's just a side-effect of presidential vs parliamentary executive bodies. Presidents have 4 year administrations, parliamentary majorities have x-year coalition governments.

This Stuff Doesn't Change The World: Disability and Steve Jobs' Legacy
Has anyone used Kudos mobile payments (card swipers)?
Kudos payments makes credit card swipers for desktop and cell phones. What caught my eye is that unlike Square, Kudos is available in US & Canada. I'd like to hear feedback from anyone who has tried their products, especially within Canada. Their site states that they charge $100 per swiper (different types for mobile vs desktop) and 2.9%+20¢ per sale.
They don't need to fight battles that aren't taking place. If the court order was different, they would have adapted in other ways. I would also guess that the regular users of TPB are fairly tech-savvy.
This is huge. Recollected pluripotent cells can only be reproduced and divided a very limited number of times with the techniques we know so far (it used to be ~2x). A big problem was that only a very small amount of stem cells usable for treatment can be collected from ,say, like a placenta.
Added in. Thanks for the heads up. They always get you on the extras.
I guess this is true, but it's seems like a needless digression. Woz did all that stuff. The power-on prompts (both monitor and BASIC) were his. TV output certainly wasn't a Jobs innovation (nor was it Woz's, he just did it better with a staggeringly low part count).

My point earlier was that attributing this to Jobs purely because of an intuition that "Jobs does UX" is incorrect, and speaks more broadly to my point that Woz has been terribly shafted by history.

I mean, when a site called "Hacker News" no less can't speak unanimously to this man's genius, something is terribly wrong.
I'm a little sad to see that "delete" (a pretty common word) is being used by a builtin that only works on maps and most code doesn't need.
I guess it's not a reserved word, so it can still be used, but I was hoping for something a little more elegant.
It seems like they would've gone with "del", to match with "cap" and "len".

Also, error.Value doesn't seem much better than os.Error. Every non-trivial program now needs to import "error"; it could almost be implicit. "error.Value" is also longer than os.Error.

Still, a pretty reasonable and good-sounding proposal over all.
So true.

I've left two very well paying positions (one at a very reputable design company that designed some of the early Apple & NeXT products) in the past year because I did look in the mirror and realized they were not right for me.

You have to follow your passion, back it up with action, and everything else will fall into place.
It's difficult to build a useful service where people have to manually enter their data. We used to make it easier for people to enter in details without having to add their bank account, but we found that they were far less likely to come back after 30 days. I'll definitely sharpen this sign up flow and try to make it more compelling to add data without knowing much more about the service.

to be clear - the "Cards" app won't be built-in. users will still have to download it like any other app.

But more importantly, Apple's app is just one type of card app. Hallmark, American Greetings, Papyrus, Tiny Prints, etc all exist in the web and offline cards space - Apple and Sincerely are the big players in the new mobile greeting cards space.

You can't do anything like you can do with Picsicle with the Cards app: filters, thoughts bubbles, photo editing. Plus it is cheaper. Finally, this is just V1 of Picsicle. We'll see many more innovations from Picsicle and other Sincerely Ship partners over the next months and years - this is what startups do best

This 1 line had a greater emotional impact on me than anything I've read or heard since Steve's passing. Thanks.
It is overly specific, but it's probably the easiest to understand explanation for someone who is familiar with imperative programming. Concurrency, continuations and exception monads are all likely more difficult to grasp.

A more accurate explanation would say that monads are just an abstraction that encapsulates program logic. Someone unfamiliar with the concept might not see WHY that's important. So my example was tangible, but not all inclusive.

One of the big issues with abstract concepts like monads, is that most people insist on using a long-winded complex explanation up front. I find it's better to pique interest, and make the concepts accessible, with the hope that the reader later is willing to dig in and learn more themselves. I probably could have done a better job of explaining that the IO monad isn't the only monad, but I think it did a "good enough" job of explaining a way to think about them.

Just a thought. Everyone knows that apple as a company has an enormous valuation. Will they be open to funding a research to combat the disease which ultimately took the life of their great leader and visionary? Something probably called iCancer Foundation? I think, the innovation and passion reined by the apple company would prove valuable in helping establish the technical aspects of the foundation.

A wonderful video - best thing I seen about Steve's passing. Woz is right. The dynamic of the two is what made Apple great. It's a classic case of a partnership that works with the sum being greater than the whole. Design (vision x moxie) + Ability (brains x sweat) = Great. And let's not forget the countless unsung worker bees who actually make it all happen. Viva Apple! His best line is about how entrepreneurs (like them) make something out of nothing but their ideas and passion. Thanks Woz and Steve
> I've only started Team Fortress Classic a few times. It feels really outdated.

Well yeah, it's an old game. It is by definition outdated (even has "classic" in the title).

> That said, how can that old game be more fun that TF2?

I'm guessing you're a pretty young guy. How fun a game is does not depend on when it was released. I used to love playing TFC. TF2 is a lame cartoon game to me. It's a bunch of Reddit memes to me. It's 15 year old kids yelling over microphones to me.

I think the idea is to compete with GitHub for Mac. As Tom Preston Werner mentioned a few weeks ago in why the company is putting so much emphasis on the Mac client, the idea is to go after a much wider user base than people who are able to use the command line. So that designers can use Git, for example.

2) it shouldn't be a big surprise that Flash will cause the fan to come on.
