Facebook Invites Famous Users To Upload Their Social Security Cards
Unhelpful trolling. Xcode is buggy. As dev-facing software that's undergoing a cycle of rapid change, it's not as clean as everyone would like it to be. I'm not convinced it could be much cleaner at the rate they're changing things.

And IB has always handled labels with long blocks of text badly. That's because they're not supposed to hold long blocks of text, they're supposed to hold labels.

Access & Read Email Messages from MS SharePoint Document Library
This technical tip shows how to read email messages from Microsoft SharePoint document library. For accessing the files from SharePoint document library, SharePoint SDK must be installed on the system, which provides the necessary API for logging in and accessing files from the document library.
In the below code snippet, we will assume that an Outlook Message file (.msg) is already stored in the SharedDocument folder of SharePoint Document Library. We will utilize SharePoint SDK to get the message file in a stream and pass this stream to an instance of Aspose.Email's MailMessage class. MailMessage class will load the stream and parse the Outlook Message file. After that you can easily access the properties of MailMessage class e.g. Subject , TextBody , HtmlBody| etc and utilize that information in your Visual Studio project.

9 of the Coolest Art Hotels in the World
Just about every hotel will hang a little painting on the walls of its rooms. But there are hotels that far transcend the ordinary, turning the entire room into a designed work of art. In some cases, this will involve hiring a specific artist to outfit the entire establishment, while other hotels will assign each room to a different artist. Then, there is also the option of making each room represent a specific theme. Such hotels make for a more than interesting stay, as you literally sleep in a work of art.

7 steps to a flu-free computer workstation
A while back I went through and analyzed all the marketplace startups that YC had invested in, and from a mixture of gut experience and the data it seems like YC is less likely to accept marketplace startups than non-marketplace startups (i.e. first time founders disproportionately found marketplace startups but this isn't shown in the YC cohorts). The ones that YC have accepted have generally seemed to been where they've really liked the team (i.e. AirBnB) as opposed to the idea.

This is actually somewhat different to most funds who invest in marketplace startups, generally for most investors there's only one thing that makes a marketplace startup worth investing in and that's traction (because in most cases the technology itself is trivial).
We need the ability to broadcast from our smartphones to be an intrinsic, built-in feature. To that end, I am currently working on apps for iOS and Android that will make it very, very easy for people to stream media in realtime from wherever they are ..

This transparency grenade is definitely a step in the right direction towards educating people why we need such features in our smartphones. I commend the artist for using the appropriate level of symbolism to communicate the dire need for individual abilities such as this.
The article, mid january, about the 100 or so workers 'threatening' to jump, the 'suicide nets', and a recent bill maher episode obviously swayed my perception for the worse.

Xcode 4.2 was atrociously buggy and I frequently had crashes on an hourly basis. 4.3 seems a bit more stable - but lldb still has quite a few issues (understandable). As a developer, I'd sort of expect a bit more support and _reliability_ from the development tools.

It isn't completely a cost center as they do make money from developer subscriptions.
The important difference here is that your examples involve something physical; in both, he has eaten some food that can thus no longer be given to anyone else. Whereas, if he downloads a copy of an eBook, the publisher can still sell copies to just as many people; he has not removed any finite resource from the system.

I'm still not sure it's justifiable (though I'm leaning slightly towards it being so), but it certainly isn't comparable to what you're saying it is.
I'd be interested to see a chart of something trying to more directly measure "standard of living" alongside "information storage per unit volume, communications bandwidth, and computation speed". I also wonder if the relationship will change in the future. I guess standard of living depends on more than just technological change though, in particular government policy.

It's a great tool and I am glad for the constant improvements Apple seem to be making, but it is a source of regular frustration for me at the moment.

I buy a lot of books in english. Currently I live in South America. Last book I bought from Amazon-US (Thinking Fast and Slow) took 2 months to arrive.

I love ebooks but those cost almost the same as hardcopy and you lose the right to lend or sell. Also, the quality of the content is usually very inferior. Recently I did ebook management software so I know the ins and outs.

The temptation to use unpaid electronic copies is bigger than ever. Specially after noting the higher management on publishing businesses is usually in the 55+ age range and repeat how they only want to keep the status quo until they retire.
I'm using dict.cc for that purpose, which is not just a thesaurus but also a translation tool. Sometime I find the right words in my native language but not in english. Or, the synonyms are not satisfying, but switching between languages leads to words more loosely connected to my initial word, thus extending the search radius in a useful way.
There is no requirement that you have a US SSN to set up a company in the US. You can get a tax id number for the corporation over the phone.
Keep in mind that the establishment of the corporation will have no effect whatsoever on your immigration status in the US.
Another issue is the apostille, which is often an issue when there is a US company that is doing business outside the US. Apostilles in Delaware are $250.00 USD each. In Wyoming, they are only $25. each. Something to keep in mind if you need 10 copies of a document.
My views on NLP. I have known a lot of folks into it who had very little success in their lives and others who had a great deal of success. I think the problem for those who don't have success is that they are looking for a recipe book, while very often times what you have to do is find flexible patterns you can make work for you.

Of course this also means that one cannot just follow the techniques as they are. It's an artistic, creative endeavor.
Multithreading would be a great feature, working with an editor where the whole UI tends to block itself on some network (tramp or via sshfs/nfs) operations is unpleasant. It's also a sign of its age. I also miss, for example, UI localization. You can, of course, have everything hardcoded in English, but it's a limitation. Well, whole UI is dated. In (g)vim you can have nice pop-up code-completion, in emacs, it's not that nice. The UI is very dated, sadly.
Tablet Phone or Phone Tablet – You Decide
The late Andy Witkin's classic SIGGRAPH paper on reaction diffusion textures:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~aw/pdf/texture.pdf

We present a method for texture synthesis based on the simulation of a process of local nonlinear interaction, called
reaction-diffusion, which has been proposed as a model
of biological pattern formation. We extend traditional
reaction-diffusion systems by allowing anisotropic and
spatially non-uniform diffusion, as well as multiple competing directions of diffusion. We adapt reaction-diffusion
systems to the needs of computer graphics by presenting
a method to synthesize patterns which compensate for the
effects of non-uniform surface parameterization. Finally,
we develop efﬁcient algorithms for simulating reactiondiffusion systems and display a collection of resulting textures using standard texture- and displacement-mapping techniques.

The application form http://news.ycombinator.com/s2012form specifically addresses marketplace ideas in this question:

How will you get users? If your idea is the type that faces a chicken-and-egg problem in the sense that it won't be attractive to users till it has a lot of users (e.g. a marketplace, a dating site, an ad network), how will you overcome that?

From that I suspect the barriers to YC entry with a marketplace startup are somewhat higher.

There are at least three shell modes built in (there are probably more).
shell mode (M-x shell) - gives an interface to your system shell, can handle everything except programs like top, you can move around past commands which is a dream.
ansi-term - an actual terminal, better for top et al, can switch between terminal mode and emacs buffer mode

eshell - shell implemented in Elisp. have never used it, but i'm sure it's awesome.

Dired mode is also wonderful, navigate to a folder, simple one key commands to do most of the basic shell copy/rename/move commands, with simple searching and all the emacs shortcuts.

I find it interesting that this class of articles has such an appeal to Hacker News readers.

If this were an article about hammers, and how good they are for driving nails, people wouldn't care. If this were an article about saws, and how they are for cutting wood, people wouldn't care.

To me, the article is exactly like the examples above. Take some widely used tool and say what it does. It's common knowledge and I don't care that you use a particular tool exactly the way it's advertised.

Now if this were an article about using hammers for something they were not designed for, of about using saws in creative ways, that might be interesting. It might also be interesting to talk about what you build and how common tools made a difference for your product.

Regarding use of word disruptive: one of the authors of the article is Clayton Christensen who coined the term "disruptive technology" in 1995. So he uses the term in that sense.

According to his theory, there are two types of innovation: disruptive and sustaining. Disruptive innovation creates new markets by applying a different set of values. Sustaining innovation merely improves a product in relation to competion in its current market.

So I believe the authors do know what the word disruptive mean and are very deliberate in using it instead of innovation.

That’s an impressive explanation. And it entirely fails to address the point. Like the other commentor said, your remark has no place in the public forum. You can find my opinion a bit further in the thread. Main point is: your supposed intention has little to do with it.

A website to help SaaS owners to evaluate and adjust their performance over time. The SaaS owner provides monthly metrics (advertising costs&associated traffic, new trials, new subscriptions, lost subscriptions, ...) and in return key indicators are computed (cac, ltv, cogs...) and tips adapted to the situation are proposed. This would be free. A paying option would be an access to a simple api to automatically fill the metrics and generate a report each month).

Does it already exists ? Do you feel it could work ?
Why doesn't it work on IE9?
It does not. The email that was sent out was sincere. As far as I know, there are some legal hurdles that are taking longer to resolve than was originally anticipated, relating for example to accessibility issues etc.

Is this really surprising?

Oracle were always going to massively inflate the amount to start with (forget that it was an expert report, we all know that you can pick and choose your experts), that's basic negotiating tactics. The bigger the number you can get into people's heads, the more reasonable a big number (even if it's not as big) seems.

I have no statistics but I'd be pretty surprised if this wasn't a pattern you saw in pretty much all cases where damages are being sought.
That's a valid point. But a lot can be done with conditional configurations om vimrc and gvimrc, my vim runs fine and nearly identical on OSX, Linux-Fluxbox-Sessions and on servers. IMHO we must stay flexible enough to use "the best" of the platform we currently working on, otherwise we are left with the lowest common denominator of a tmux in a terminal and must do some strange things to even use the clipboard in the right way(as heard in the podcast).

For example, I have Command-T opening FuzzyFinder in ssh-Sessions and in Gvim, but use the lovely Peepopen in Macvim.
In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Singularity_Is_Near, Ray Kurzweil also claims that growth is not only exponential (e.g. doubling every x years), but that this rate is itself increasing - which I guess is superexponential.

It's curious that Moore's Law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_law) seems to be just plain ol' exponential. That is, doubling the number of transistors on a chip every 2 years. That rate itself hasn't increased; it's still 2 years, 47 years on. (BTW the 18 month figure is related, see link).
Why isn't Moore's Law superexponential?

You might also want to look into running emacs as a daemon, if you haven't already. Since it runs as a server in the background (with a grand total of maybe 30MB used in my case), clients pop up instantly and if there were buffers open on the server from before, they will remain open even if you close the client's window. If you start/close emacs more often, it's definitely a nice thing to have.

emacs --daemon

clients are called using either

emacsclient (for either terminal client or gtk/x11 client)
emacsclient -c (to open a new frame)
emacsclient -t (to open a frame in the current terminal)
"Why I still use a rock"

At school, I’m known as the Rock guy; when people have questions about using a Rock and hitting things a certain way, they often come and ask me. Sometimes, some people ask me why use a Rock to hit a nail? Isn't it a really an ancient way of doing things and wouldn't a hammer be much better?
I call bullshit. Desktops taking a hit from tablets - are you crazy?

Desktops are taking a hit from desktops!

There are still acres of desktop real estate which is going to be replaced with more desktops.

Looking at this at a high level, there is actually pretty much sod all difference for the average user in the last 5-6 years technology-wise on a "desktop PC". They are just not buying them because nothing is compelling them to upgrade as they are fine as they are.

If there was a technological leap then we might see something but for most users, a 5-6 year old desktop would run the latest and greatest version of Windows fine.

Tablets are going to be a short lived "experiment" which will dry up in time, much as they always have been (Apple are far from being the first tablet vendor). Microsoft may have the answer to that in a hybrid device but we'll see.

In over 13 years of coding I've never used a tool as buggy and crash-prone as XCode 4. I swear at it on a daily basis. I think they're mostly going in the right direction with the feature set but the fact that it's still this unstable after three point releases undermines my confidence in the underlying code base.
Wrong in all accounts.
