Many parents hide behind a wall of ignorance. That looks technical so I will get my kid to do it. Maybe when I get a bit older I will be the same. However... as soon as my kid asks for my credit card details I will be like 'hang on.. whats this for?'

I remember the first purchase I made on Amazon. I was like 13 and I needed my mum's card to make it. She knew nothing about computers and almost nothing about the internet. It took her 2 weeks to look into it before giving me the OK. She then struggled through the Amazon website to get what I wanted. Spent a large amount of time making sure she was only getting one, the item was correct and it was being delivered to the right address. She then pressed the purchased button.

That is parenting. That is common sense. I have no idea when it became the norm to trust teen and preteen kids with parents passwords and access to credit card linked accounts.
Yeah, seriously. You don't have to use cool-speak to keep it real. It doesn't matter how big or small you are, sincerity always shines through.

As to the original comment, I think this may swing either way. This could either be the real deal, hot tech startup or it could be some assholes who are totally overcompensating with all the secrecy and trying to play it super hipster. I see where you might get arrogance from it. I didn't think of that first though. Considering we're on HN here and since the site has an outstanding reputation for keeping most riff raff out, I just assumed it was a hot-next-big-thing startup looking for employees.

1. parents not getting involved is not something technology can fix

2. the parental restrictions configuration uses a PIN independent from the SIM PIN and the account password, parents can disable IAP even if their child knows their appstore account password. It will not prevent the child from buying new applications, however (unless parents also disable installing applications, I guess).
I love the Daily Show but this made me think twice about it's content. There's some extreme trolling going on here that will make me look at their skewering of the right in a different way - which is probably a good thing.

With all the real crazy stuff going on, I'd expect The Daily Show not to have to invent fake stories, but I guess even they have airtime to fill.
Hmm, according to this page:

With the exception of the last example, the two versions of each painting look identical to me. Of course, I am looking at them through a 4+NS cataract, in an eye (the only one I have) that also has a damaged macula and other significant retina damage - but I suspect the cataract plays a bigger role.

I'm having said cataract removed this Friday, so I'll have to check this again next week and see how things have changed. I'm very curious to see what the difference will be. The progressive worsening of my vision over the past year has been so gradual that it's sometimes hard to quantify just how much things like my ability to see color and contrast has changed.
Oh, I was not trying to make any value judgements. I just wanted to point out one possible reason for the controversy.
Baroque.me: Bach Cello Suites No. 1, Prelude
Building Telephony Applications with Perl and TwiML
Forget the "targeted at our kids!" or "$99 fishies!" thing for a moment, those are IMO red herrings (no pun intended).

The real issue with freemium is that I've yet to see a single example that's actually a game, as opposed to one armed bandits masquerading as games.

Of all the examples I've played, none are any fun. They are simply designed to trap you into a treadmill, cough up some dollars, and hopefully run this cycle a few times before you brain kicks in and realize you haven't had any fun the entire time.

I love mobile games. Angry Birds is a great time waster, Cut the Rope actually has a surprising amount of strategy behind it. Neither of these are freemium. Thank God. Hell, I don't even mind the idea of episodic gaming - I will gladly cough up a few dollars now and again to see the next chapter of a story or play a few more levels.

Maybe I'm just being an old curmudgeon, but there was a time when "gaming" actually meant "fun", not "psycho-manipulative casino trap".
> You know what's 1990-vintage? The set of HTML controls you have at your disposal, right now, even with HTML5, to send to the client to progressively enhance. At some point you have to draw the line. Require JavaScript and offer an API for the content. It'll be better specified than a bunch of markup anyway, which has a tendency to change at the whim of designers and marketing.

All modern JavaScript frameworks still generate HTML that's shown in the browser, so it's not like we no longer have to worry about that. The only thing that has changed is that we now generate the HTML in the client, not on the server; this has both its advantages (only needs to download data after the first load, only needs to update what has actually changed etc.) and disadvantages (you need to implement your own "progress indicator", slow page load on mobile where the cache is smaller, the webpage no longer gradually loads when you're on a slow connection, you need to worry about state).

If you have a simple request/response page on your website, nothing beats what we have today. And all websites have some plain request/response pages. These JavaScript frameworks seems to be an all-or-nothing and it seems to be hard to share components between the browser and the server. Why should I need copy-paste templates/layouts around?

> This library is supposed to be small and tightly focused. Providing progressive enhancement should be up to the developers using the library, not the library authors. Including it in the library would dictate too much about how things must work on the server, thus limiting the audience.

Looking at the example application (Todos), I'll have to say I wonder how to make this work on the server:

{{view Todos.CreateTodoView id="new-todo" placeholder="What needs to be done?"}}

<!-- Insert this after the CreateTodoView and before the collection. -->
{{#view Todos.StatsView id="stats"}}
{{#view SC.Button classBinding="isActive"
target="Todos.todosController"
action="clearCompletedTodos"}}
Clear Completed Todos
{{/view}}
{{remainingString}} remaining
{{/view}}

{{view SC.Checkbox class="mark-all-done"
title="Mark All as Done"
valueBinding="Todos.todosController.allAreDone"}}

{{#collection contentBinding="Todos.todosController" tagName="ul" itemClassBinding="content.isDone"}}
{{view SC.Checkbox titleBinding="content.title"
valueBinding="content.isDone"}}
{{/collection}}
</script>

I can't see one easy way to render this on the server side. The only solution I can see is to write a custom template engine which specifically targets Ember.

More money than legal ability
Hey HN.

I've gotten revenues of random iPhone and Android apps (I wont link here, but think farts) that now have earned me a considerable amount of cash.

I don't know who to turn to when it comes to financial advice. None of my friends have financial advisers, so I can't go on community suggestions. Anyone in the Califonia/Bay Area who can help me navigate this? I probably wont have this money next year, but as a crazy liberal I want to make sure I do this right (my farts can't last forever).

Any help would be excellent. Thank you for your time.
Me! It goes to me! I'm doing it as we speak! 3 months in but no, I won't give a URL or name. I feel dirty and spammy if I did, first off, and it's just not ready for public usage.

But in any case you're right about people being connected. There's really little reason to use Yelp when Google is serving its function. What I'm doing involved connecting people like you said but then adding a loyalty aspect where people get to feel like they're part of a special club of patrons to a particular place and are rewarded for it only after proving that loyalty.
Please tell me that this was tongue in cheek talk.

I felt so sad when I read these points and really hope you have a life without these services.
This is where I would say in that "done right" agile works. The problem is "done right" is very subjective to the team in question.

If you have the right team, discipline for practices, and the right leadership it works wonders. I've seen it.

The problem it that it's misused like I said in my post. It's not understood. And therefore will lead to the conclusion, that not only it doesn't work, we were conned to believe it did.

That doesn't really show any laws being unconstitutional. Yes, there are lots of things we have that aren't in the Constitution, but not even the most adherent textualist thinks you can find everything you need to structure a government within the four corners of a 10-page document. It incorporates by reference hundreds of years of English law and history. The site you linked to mostly just notes examples of that.
The future of online communication is based around these "filter bubbles". The more aware may see that this is a bad thing, but most people see this is a great improvement.

I'll add my friends on diaspora, google+, facebook, etc, and we'll all send each other stories that make our lifestyles appear worthwhile. If you're battling captcha, you aren't fighting the battles of the future. Not that it isn't a worthwhile problem, I just see facebook's auto grouping, g+ circles and diaspora aspects as things that all make conversation socially verified ahead of time.
I was thinking of linking particular events (post made by Jimbo, major news story) with features in the data, something like what Google Trends does. I always find that information interesting.
Wikipedia was created and is hosted in the US, the Wikimedia Foundation is based in the US, Jimbo Wales is American, and I'd wager a large part of en.wp visitors and editors are American. Like it or not, Wikipedia itself is US-centric.

And though it may be besides the point, you know as well as I do that if SOPA happened to pass in the US it wouldn't be long before most Western countries had their own version too.
It appears up now?
There are parts of the constitution open to interpretation, such as the 2nd amendment, which is just poor sentence structure. The 1st is very clear and does not require some uber-con-law expert to tell us what it means. This is a good thing, since our citizens need to be able to understand and participate in this basic framework. There are many things we have done in the U.S. which have and continue to violate this 1st amendment. Just because we've encroached on it in the past should not make this SOPA threat any more palatable. Besides, SOPA appears to be more than just a 1st amendment violation. Ripping by due process is a huge problem.
Sure, but even given that the headline is reasonable. It is quite rational to judge the credibility of a prediction on the basis of the credibility of the person making the prediction. Paul Dirac might've been wrong numerous times in his career, but you can bet if another physicist got a letter from Dirac disagreeing with their results, they'd check their math a couple of more times!

Novel Optical Trick Creates Ultra-Secure Cash
Wow! I clicked through on the new page to check if this was spam to see if I should flag it, and I was awed. It's a fantastic visualization of Bach's Cello Suites. Detailed information at [http://blog.chenalexander.com/2011/baroque-bach-cello/] but best to just click, watch, and listen.

Give it a minute to get going before you make any judgment. At first I was dubious, but then it got me. It took me until the second viewing to realize I could interact with it.

"Baroque.me visualizes the first Prelude from Bach’s Cello Suites. Using the mathematics behind string length and pitch, it came from a simple idea: what if all the notes were drawn as strings? Instead of a stream of classical notation on a page, this interactive project highlights the music’s underlying structure and subtle shifts."

Because the people who are as good as I am also cost 150k/yr. Salary depends on market value, not what it costs you to live. Just because a rockstar in India can live on 30k/yr doesn't mean he will when he can get more.

Think about it from the investor's point of view: if you get hit by a bus...

That's the basic driver (no pun intended) behind this idea. Personally I think that if you can get a team without a co-founder, that's the best of all worlds, because you can concentrate on your vision without it being diluted.
Mind you, I have only looked superficially at Dygraphs -- looked at the examples, documentation and a bit of the source code.

My main issue is that Dygraphs is (as far as I can see) a monolithic chart renderer. Everything is built into a single renderer that takes a huge amount of options. It does not seem to be possible to add more axes, add custom extensions (like "rug" plots) or behaviours (like selections), because of its monolithic nature.

My favourite plotting system is R, which essentially divides the rendering into a large set of drawing operations that can be tweaked and combined in all sorts of ways. R is not a model I would want anyone to follow in a charting library (it's much too "free form" and does not have an underlying drawing model beyond vectors), but it's a model to follow in terms of extensiblity.

Some stuff I miss in Dygraphs:

- I want the user to be able to select a range of X axis using the mouse (Dygraphs uses this for zooming), and keep zooming separate.

- I want the user to be able to select a chart line/bar by clicking on it with the mouse.

- I want to be able to scroll the X axis programatically.

- I want to fetch remote data at varying resolutions matching the chart zoom level. From what I can see, this is not trivial with Dygraphs.

- Rug plots, histograms (bar charts) and error bar support.

- Stacked area plots.

In a well-architected chart system I would be able to add new graphical components (the Google Maps API is a good example) and override behaviour by adding event handlers that interacted with the chart API. I don't see how to do this with Dygraphs.

Would love to see RavenDB http://ravendb.net/ supported in the same way as MongoDB.
Yes, though I think this exposes some scaling problems with wiki consensus when there are a ton of people interested and huge outside media interest as well. Straw polls aren't votes, but they function best as non-votes when there's, say, fewer than 50, maybe 100 people weighing in. Then the approach is something like: 1) call a straw poll; 2) people indicate their support or opposition and why, not just a "vote"; 3) eyeball the opinions to see if there's clear consensus for or against, and what the main reasons people have pro/con are; 4) try to revise the proposal to take into account the main opinions expressed in the straw poll; 5) iterate until either consensus, or you fall back on finally having a "real" vote among a few distilled options.

That all works remarkably less well when there are hundreds of people weighing in.

I've been wondering about Google's ContentID system since the SOPA hearing. From what I heard then it seemed like Google was doing way more than the law requires them to do, all in the name of somehow appeasing the rightholders, but to the detriment of everyone else.
Well, as soon as you're talking about trends, you're implicitly disregarding/smoothing the noise. Over the long term, trends are what matters, and inflation is a pretty consistent, not entirely insignificant trend.
