There's no need to move all your domains today (that can be a HUGE job). Just pledge to not give GoDaddy another cent and move your domains as they expire. In five years, problem solved.
I'll be glad to prove my hacker chops, what's the rate?
Why is anyone who pays any attention still on GoDaddy anyhow?

They're a scummy company that have no respect for their customers, obnoxious advertising, and a clunky, annoying web interface. Why would you use them when you could use any of hundreds of other name registrars and web hosts?
and then what? even if they did change their brand name, they'll still act the same way.

I hope you aren't serious. Remember how Bank of America reversed their decision on the 5$ fee they were planning to impose, when people started moving their money to community banks? the only way to make these big businesses budge on anything is to take your business elsewhere.
I really hope you aren't railing MDMA and shrooms...
I think I believe in Keynesian economics but I am no expert on the topic. I'm pretty sure that Keynesian theory does not say that the only reason is workers aren't hired in real wages, obviously there needs to be demand for whatever the workers are going to do. That is why I say that you need to be able to break contracts too - then whole economy would need to be able to realign in a very short period of time to match the effects the spending can have in the same period of time. Speed matters because a wage decrease over 20 years is not useful to solving the problem without a "lost decade".

What I called a "modern economy [that] functioned reasonably well for quite a while" is of course the cause of every recession -- I did not call it perfect. If you are going to rip it up to remove wage stickiness you better be pretty confident of all of the unintended consequences that are going to come along with that are going to be better than what we had going into this thing.

I think if one wants to argue that wage stickiness is a good lever to use in this situation then there needs to be an actual, practical path to achieving that that they present that can be acted upon. I offered the only way that I think is a path there but I do not think it is either good or practical. The other way is ordinary deflation over time, but I think that is just too slow (and painful). Do you have another way that would work and quickly that I am not seeing? I am genuinely interested.

Monetary and fiscal stimulus is quite well understood, it has been used many times.

Your first comment about unions is obviously meant to be sarcastic but in the current political environment the fact is that unions (public and private) do not have the power they once had. If worker protections were miraculously repealed there would be a lobbying battle to get them back but no assurance that the unions could win. But if you accept my premise that this is the path and believe the unions are too powerful then wage stickiness is a moot point - as a non-starter why bother discussing it, Keynesian or not?
Writing a business plan - what to consider
IPhone Repair Services, London
Very useful. Some things I noticed:

- Very fast site, props! Plus I really like the minimal design. Keep it that simple!

- Vim key bindings would be awesome (j/k for up/down).

- I'd expected than if I hit enter, but would type no text into it and "exit" with escape, the entry wouldn't get saved (as it stores no content). Instead there's just a blank line.

- When I am writing a new task and unintentionally hit enter, instead of the entry getting saved it moves to a new, blank task. You might wanna reconsider this behavior.

- Please think about international users, on my Swiss-German keyboard, the z and y keys (indent) are not next to each other (Y is left of my X on my layout). Consider adding an alternative like ">" to indent "<" to outdent or so.

- The other key bindings are very convenient and go easy and naturally.

- I deselected the "tweet this"/"like this" in the Settings, yet they still show up?

Overall: convinced. You just got a new user. But pleeeease, add the two vim keys and you would have one happier user. :-)
I'll third gandi.net. I use them for all my US-based domains. Their slogan is "No Bullshit" -- and they live up to it.

My only complaint is that DNS changes through the webapp take 10-15 min to propagate to their authoritative zone files, making DNS cut-overs a little slower than I'd like.

But all in all, highly recommended..
I was surprised (even a little disappointed) he isn't keeping more of the cash, as an investment in more specials or better infrastructure, or just a retirement fund. I'm kind of worried that he feels guilty and will give away a lot and consume the rest.
With all due respect, on the surface this seems like a way to find desperate 20-somethings with stamina, a serious Red Bull habit, and a willingness to work obscene hours.
ive used them for 6 years, never had a problem. vps for 2 years was comparably cheap however if you have config problems you pay out the wazoo OR figure it out yourself. The two times I was desperate enough to need to call support I figure out the problem myself while waiting on hold/waiting for a reply.
I agree, if you're not standing to get a good share of equity then just look at it as another job. Of course, every CEO-type, like the guy above wants you to do what he's suggesting and slave away but you should evaluate your options and maybe a 9 person startup is too small to not have to work hellish hours, etc but also too big to where you're not getting enough from out of it since you're not a founder. All I can say is be careful of what you're getting into and if you don't stand to gain much from equity or are not sure how long you would stay with them consider working as a contractor then you get paid for all the time you work, etc
When was the last time you saw a commercial during a football game for any other registrar?

Unless I've missed something, the answer's never. So, when Joe Public wants to register a domain, he only knows about one way to do it.

Seems like a pretty effective marketing strategy to me.

Thoughts: I dig it, but don't know why I should use this more than just testing it out.

Rating: Meh. I'll play around for a bit but probably won't stick around.

The good:

- Homepage Design: Great. Reminds me of a Pinterest for content (not just pretty pictures)

- UX: Great signup, almost madlibs-style

- You don't make me confirm my email before actually signing in

- you don't make me have to join before browsing/adding value

The fail:

- Value proposition? The about page is fluff

- Why the landing pages for each article? Are you trying to instapaper-style redress the content in a more readable form? Then why just a part of the article? Are you rewriting the content via NLP or seomthing? You never tell me that.

- Community: Why the social network aspects? Do I need a social network to consume my news?

- New articles. How do I add new articles? What if I want to bring in an article I found elsewhere? I'm sure you can do it, but the UX doesn't make this intuitive.

- After signup: Great. I have no friends except the founders. No content. Don't see that there is anyone else using the service. I'm supposed to be munching content. But after logging in I don't see any. Take me to content consumption or the community!

- Design Fail: The user control box in the top left is hanging over my article using Google Chrome.

All in all... What's the benefit to this versus one of a million other ways to consume content? The value isn't shown implicitly or explicitly. Not better designed than Flipboard. Not more configurable than Pulse. Not more content breadth than Reddit. Not more "grab and read at my convenience on any device" than Instapaper. So what do I use greybox for? Is it just another pretty face? All the product descriptions are fluffy and nondescript, which is a turnoff. The design is great. From the about page is seems like you guys use this specific CMS and wanted to show that you could make a news aggregator with it. Cheerio! But why would I use this every day?

Is this a serious "let's build a business" launch? Or is it a "look what I made, it shows what I can do with this CMS, but we don't intend to really drop everything and pursue this full time and think we'll actually build a business."
Well that's actually a logical question. If you need a multi billion dollar collider size of a small town to even observe these events it's not likely to get practical use any time soon.
Tamer Rizk's DNS censorship-busting DeSopa Firefox extension on Github
You could always use a dynamic DNS service[0] for your DNS A record, like dnsdynamic.org, then set up your 'main' domain name to be a CNAME record to your free dynamic DNS one. Most home routers have built in support for dynamic DNS already. It does add a level of indirection/potential failure, but then you aren't restricted to registrars with APIs for changing DNS.

e.g.
ryandvm.com (CNAME) -> ryandvm.dnsdynamic.org (A) -> 123.123.123.123

This is what I use for my home server, and it seems to work well.

I've enjoyed reading the Backbone docs and found them useful reference. Actually, I quite enjoy reading all of your project docs, @jashkenas!

But I wish the Backbone docs would talk about how to structure larger applications. Yes, I agree with the philosophy of "There's More Than One Way To Do It" but I don't think that's a good reason for the fact that there is no recommended best practice for how to modularize and organize code for a Backbone app that's larger than the trivial to-do example. Some discussion of architecture for larger apps, along with some example code, would be great.

At present it's an annoying contrast to see the small to-do example and the screenshots of elaborate examples that have many models, collections, routes, etc. Would be great if the docs could do a better job bridging the two.
You could probably do something similar in English by using words that incorporate smaller words - "the sum of summer" or something like that.

I'm sure there must be examples of poems that do exactly that.

WebOS running on QNX

You can't run one operating system inside another without a virtual machine, which isn't feasible with today's mobile hardware.

It's also probably too late for RIM to purchase WebOS, at this rate RIM will be out of business by next year.

The Words That Make Hacker News Tick
So are you implying that the operators (and perhaps Apple) are simply soaking their iPhone customers or just trying to promote Android phones because they're more lucrative (ie, lower cost, but same subscription cost)?
I agree with the "CEO can't code" part, I've worked for two very small companies (one startup, the other basically a startup but was a few years old) and both had worthless CEO's who hardly understood anything about technology which made things rather unsavory at points. In small companies the CEO is very involved in things and they can really muck things up if they don't know anything about software development.

And, of course, the windows point, if a developer uses windows I immediately take off credibility points.

The CEO of GoDaddy is a hardcore Republican. They tend to be more authoritarian than other people. Like you, I see no direct financial benefit to GoDaddy in supporting SOPA. I suspect this is simply that authoritarian tendency in action.
If they're using Node (and I assume they are, based on the fact that it's a Node.js podcast), I don't really understand why they wouldn't render the HTML server side (I may be showing my age by asking this) instead of relying on the client to render it.
Really dig the feedback. Appreciate it.
Still boned. I'll try again later. I'm looking forward to it!

Meh, they are just going to move that $5 fee somewhere else. And it will likely be somewhere much less transparent.

Having the same Euro currency but different economic structure and policy in different countries doesn't work, especially in Spain/Italy/France's case. Their labor cost has soared and trade deficit widen against Germany but they can't cheapen their currency to make them more competitive. They are stuck.
Same in Portugal but you don't even need to talk about the young people. Average wage is 1000 eur, 700/900 eur would be a good salary for most young people in Portugal.

It's also funny how people talk about the lazy people from the South. I actually work in London and people work much less hours there than in Portugal.
All true as far as that goes. But I can tell you that they wouldn't have spent ~$10 billion on the LHC for this...
If his replacement build system lets me a) build varnish under SUA on a version of windows that didn't even exist when he wrote the project b) cross-compile varnish for arm, then I'll agree with him. The "standard" gnu autoconf layout, for all its m4 insanity, gets you both those, and none of the various wheel-reinventions I've seen do.
This is obviously not to avoid lock-in. This is Microsoft, remember?

But, if JavaScript becomes the de facto extension language for Office, at least we have a smaller problem to deal with than with VBScript.
Are you considering that the web is going mobile?

700,000 Android devices are being activated every day. Apple is selling 10 million iPads a quarter and has hundreds of millions of iPhones on the market. If you have a website that you want people to view on mobile, you're either going to use HTML(5) or have a second site for mobile.

In short, we'll have a billion mobile Internet devices in a few years, and HTML(5) is the only web solution to reach all of them.
My biggest question is: Is rendering faster too?

Because rendering is pretty much just string concatenation. So my guess is it's not. Is it?

If rendering is not faster then this is no use to me, since I'm a very happy user of haml-coffee (https://github.com/9elements/haml-coffee).
>>Most people who play videogames still go to work and make things. Most people who consume porn still seek out physical mates. Most people who have done opium still seek out life and pleasures beyond the artificial orgasmic haze of the high. Most people who smoke pot still go about life like the rest of us. And more to the point: most people who interact with computers do not do so the way that HN readers do.

This is a salient point. To piggyback on your mention of marijuana, the article's core argument is not that dissimilar from the near-apocalyptic predictions made in anti-drug campaigns.

I think a fundamental assumption on which this article is based is that we just haven't found that perfect, reality-effacing high yet. It's essentially a prohibitionist message looking to the horizon rather than the present.

If you read the infographic you will find that borrowing by governments was not the cause (and even if it were that does not mean it can not be the answer, that is what widening the monetary base is partially about).
Italy and Greece would be running surpluses if they could borrow at U.S. rates (maybe Spain and Ireland too, I don't know) - so Eurobonds at the good rates they would attract can be an important part of the answer.

+1 for namecheap. I've been migrating domains away from GoDaddy over the past 2 years to namecheap with positive results.
I use www.dyn.com for all my domain and dns stuff and would recommend them in a heart beat.

Note: they're not the cheapest though if that's something important to you.
Accelerated Android 4.0 offered for ARM dev boards
Honestly, nobody knows what kind of potential applications could come from these measurements. But by the same token, nobody knew that Fermi's splitting of the atom would lead to nuclear power (and weapons), measurement of Hydrogen line splittings would eventually lead to semi-conductors, and the study of bacteria would eventually lead to antibiotics.

Besides the giving us applications that we can literally not imagine today, the "engineering" feats required to do cutting edge science always brings new technologies that benefit the real world. Just think that accelerators that would have been used for cutting-edge particle physics 50 years ago are now commonly used in hospitals to treat cancer.
I'm not the poster, but I also work for a regulated industry, and I have to comply with those regulations, which I certainly don't agree with (and even campaigned against). I also guess that Smirnoff didn't mean it that way either.

So, it's probably not Western Union who's to blame when sending money to Mohammed (or José Rodriguez which is an extremely common name here) is a big hassle for all parties involved, it's the regulators. The only thing WU can be blamed for is for working within the rules. It's not bigotry by WU.

As he said, if services start providing money transfers (using Bitcoin or whatever) without complying with regulations, they'll probably will have to be based somewhere outside the US's influence, and will eventually be blocked and impeded in the US (see: online poker, only worse)

I meant both tests but definitely the subject tests.

Usually the CEEB, SAT, and GRE tests are designed to have Gaussian distribution with mean 500 and standard deviation 100. So, can get a table of the cumulative Gaussian distribution and see what percentile 4 standard deviations above the mean is; I would guess less than 1%.

I got 800 on the GRE subject math test, the only 800 I got on any of those tests, and that 800 always intimidated my wife, MUCH smarter than I am, PBK, etc.

Why especially the subject tests? Because the question was how to skip a Bachelor's degree and do not pass GO, do not collect $100, and go directly to grad school. There the grad school may still want a Bachelor's but for anything less really good scores on the relevant GRE subject tests may be the difference. Show up with 750 or better on GRE subject math, physics, and computer science, and offer to take the Ph.D. quals right away, and may, just MAY, be permitted to 'enroll'. Blow away the quals, publish a paper or two, even in a conference, maybe knock out some code just to prove are not all theory, and may be regarded as a good student. Then will be closer to the front of the line for various kinds of financial aid.

How to skip a Bachelor's is chancy. For the importance and potential of good independent work, at the best research universities that's rock solid. Read the story of the guy who gave the name a 'good' algorithm, Jack Edmonds. Read what Feynman did at Princeton. Read what Gleason did at Harvard. Independent work was just crucial in how I got my Ph.D.: It helped that I did the research for my dissertation independently in my first summer and worte a 50 page manuscript. Then it helped that took a 'reading course', selected a long outstanding problem, and found a solution which also solved a problem in a famous paper by Arrow, Hurwicz, and Uzawa (poor Uzawa was left out of the prize). It helped that the department chair taught a flunk out course, an advanced, second, course in linear algebra and I took it as my first course in linear algebra and blew everyone else away. How? I'd done a LOT in linear algebra independently and in my career in 'scientific programming' before grad school. It even helped that I was the only student that year who showed that there are no countably infinite sigma algebras. That's the kind of stuff that can help one get through grad school.
Interesting. Thanks for that link.
5 tips to create awesome QR Codes online
Keynesian economics is significantly larger than what it has to say about wage flexibility. Truly, what it has to say about wage flexibility has not been useful in making predictions about our recessions, so I am more than willing to throw out that part of it. This is clearly an area where more study needs to be done and better theories need to be created and tested.

But, in the meantime, Keynesian economics have made very useful predictions elsewhere and with a notably better record than competing theories. So all I'm saying is: let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater. Keynesianism didn't have much useful to say about economics at a zero lower bound, but further study and modification has resulted in theories with remarkably good records in making useful predictions in our current situation (even if no-one seems to listen to those predictions).

What you seem to be suggesting, is akin to saying we can/should throw out the standard model entirely in favor of universal application of quantum theory, simply because the standard model breaks down at quantum scale. Whereas I'm advocating that we can use quantum theory where it makes sense and the standard model where it makes sense, until a grand unified theory arrives and is tested.

> "I believe our recently ended recession is primarily structural"
My gut feeling is also that this is true, though I can't say I've seen convincing evidence to support it. And I get rather nervous when my gut feelings aren't supported by evidence, particularly when that evidence should be obvious and overwhelming.

And I completely agree that the US has not pursued flexible wage policies and raising the minimum is a move away from flexibility. I was just noting that the move was a minor one, and as such, we really shouldn't expect that it would have had much impact.
