I wonder how much of this traffic is from Tor... Google blocks most searches routed via Tor exit nodes and the queries are rerouted to DDG by the tor browser (yay EFF!).
There's an older trick that still works for me: a passphrase in the subject line.

You can even include the passphrase in the mailto: uri. E-mail harvesters usually discard it, but a user who clicks the link (e.g. to compose a message in Thunderbird) will have their subject field populated.

Now set up procmail to redirect messages to /dev/null if the passphrase is not present. Now you can freely post the uri all over the web.

Real example:

mailto:aoxomoxoa@finnw.me.uk?subject=Don%22t+buy+this

(I'm confident that no spammer will send bulk messages with "Don't buy this" in the subject line, so that makes a good default passphrase.)
The challenge with management is the costs of waste get externalized and multiplied.
I just did this search yesterday to install Chrome on a new machine, and the chrome browser website was actually the first result. But it was a "paid" result, shaded as those things are, and I mentally tuned it out. I looked down the page in frustration that the browser site wasn't coming up and only then noticed the "paid" link. Which probably says something about the effectiveness of those paid links.
You could always offer to pay for a more suitable license on the software. Also, half the comments on this library are whining about the license. Nice content guys.

Patrick from Stripe here. This is a really good point, and one that's worth clarifying. I'm just back from a run, and can't reply in depth right now, but wanted to add this comment as a placeholder before the thread falls off your radar. Will update here within a few hours.

(And, PS, thanks for the kind words.)

[Update follows]

I don't think we've ever claimed that before Stripe you had to have a merchant account. We're of course aware that there were a a bunch of services that didn't require a merchant account before Stripe (not just PayPal, but also Google Checkout and Amazon Payments).

The point we always do try to make is that the vast majority of sites (and, especially, the best sites) end up using their own merchant account. Whatever about the feature sets of PayPal and similar systems, people still ended up preferring merchant accounts, and the traditional merchant account infrastructure powers most of the e-commerce on the web.

It turns out that there are actually pretty good reasons for this: the merchant-account based solutions gave you the most control over the end-user experience, the most control over the relationship with your customers, and so on. Merchant accounts were the best solution and still are the most widely deployed option.

To the extent that Stripe is competing with anything, we're competing with that.

And so, to get back to your point: it is, overall, a pretty subtle situation, and how best to make the landscape clear in a few sentences to someone watching TV -- or someone who doesn't know much about the industry -- isn't easy. We want to be as accurate as possible without compromising clarity or brevity. If you've any suggestions as to how we could do it better, they'd be much appreciated: I'm patrick@stripe.com.
Bing wasn't gibberish. Bing was wrong consistently in the same way. Just a subtle point that the problem is doable. I'd be interested in broader comparisons.

The * have gone away (HN is treating it as markdown for italics). You can put spaces around it to prevent this (e.g. the first * in the first comment is treated literally; the last * in that comment isn't).

The easiest solution is to indent the code by two spaces (HN renders it literally then).

Some missing context, this post is by Cristina Lopes, one of the co-inventors of Aspect Oriented Programming. For thos that don't know Gregor Kiczales and others worked on the CLOS MOP culminating in their book The Art of MetaObject Protocol. I still think this is the only success story of I'm aware of where multiple incompatible programming language dialects were unified under a protocol malleable enough to express them all. This is William Cook's points about the flexibility of OOP taken to the extreme.

When Kiczales and others realized Common Lisp as a community wasn't going anywhere they took their ideas and created AspectJ.

Anyways, her blog seems like a lively read in general - I found this blog post pretty entertaining and I agree wholeheartedly - http://tagide.com/blog/2011/05/programming-is-math-apparentl...
One doesn't follow from the other. It's his software and he should pick the license that best fits his objectives.

If he reconsiders and then decides that GPL indeed is the best license for his use case, that's great; but it's possible his original choice was suboptimal.

Edit: But I agree with Parfe - it could be kept GPL and dual licensed for $$, best of both worlds.

I disagree. I always trust people unless (or until) they've proven themselves untrustworthy. This may sound naive, but it's what works for my style of doing business, which hinges on mutual trust and almost over-the-top openness.

Here's what "guilty until proven innocent" misunderstands: without trust, the relationship is doomed regardless of whether the mistrust is justified or not. If I don't trust someone, I don't do business with them, period. And if I subscribed to your "simple rule," there would be practically nobody I could do business with.

I've only encountered Stripe as a customer, and only once, so it may just be that the merchant (Browserling) was implementing it wrong. But the merchant asked me for my credit card number on its own domain, without SSL. I trusted the site enough to believe it really used Stripe (the only verification was text saying so), and that it was secure, but there was nothing there to prove it to me.

So maybe Stripe is secure, but they might want to work on appearing more trustworthy.

When I've used PayPal as a customer, it asked for my credit card on its own domain, not the merchant's. Doesn't that insulate the merchant from handling credit card details at least as well as Stripe's API does?

It's really a simple term used to describe a combination of factors that create the sense of pleasure on certain individuals. Though it is highly subjective, and varies from person to person.

Some people describe a car to be fun to drive when the performance of the vehicle matches their preferences. That is why you have a segment that enjoys Ford Mustangs for their straight-line acceleration (and calls them fun to drive), and you also have another segment that enjoys the Mazda Miata for its sport-tuned suspension, short tranmission gearing (which allows the engine to stay on the powerband with less effort), and low weight (and also calls them fun to drive).

There are a thousand different ways that a car can be fun to drive. Some are not even related in any way to the actual car, but to the sentimental value that the owner puts on the vehicle.

The most fun to drive car I've ever had was a sub-compact that barely had eighty-eight horsepower. Yet it did not consume much fuel. Such attibute pushed me to find how far I could go before needing to refuel. That alone made the car fun to drive.

The Mercedes owner above values the rich set of features that his vehicle has. He seems to enjoy knowing that his vehicle is highly equipped to whithstand and accident, and is even able to reduce the chances of one actually happen. Plus I bet he loves driving past store windows, and see himself driving such a fine automobile. I know I would. =)
Right, despite the example being a bit off I can see what you were trying to say.

It seems to me that this situation started when the company had a signed term sheet but still went around to VCs trying to interest them in investing. Is this normal? (I'm a bootstrapper, so I have no experience with these games.)
Ask HN: Best coding keyboard?
I've seen the Happy Hacking Keyboard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Hacking_Keyboard). It has the CTRL in the right, UNIX-style place (where other keyboards have the CAPS LOCK key). It also features Fn-key access to function keys and arrow keys near the home row.
That's pretty close to my dream keyboard.

I'll describe my perfect keyboard, maybe you guys can point me to something close:

1)Apple style flat keyboard
2)No numblock, function keys via Fn-1..0 like Happy Hacking Keyboard
3)UNIX-style CTRL key instead of CAPS, like HHK
4)Fn-hjkl for arrow keys (VIM movement)
5)Backspace/del works like on the Mac keyboard
6)Preferrably programmable in some way, to try out new combinations
7)Quiet, no loud clicking

Anyone know something like this?

When someone upvotes your post, you get a karma. It's supposed to get you high and encourage good posting. You can't buy anything with it.
It's mostly for show. You can't buy anything with it, and you can't elect to use it for visibility (though reputation, which it's a proxy for, can achieve this effect). Others can see it on your user page if they click through from a comment you made. You gain karma when a comment or submission is voted up, and lose it when it's voted down. Voted down? When you cross a certain threshold (500?), you're trusted with the ability to down moderate comments that don't contribute: http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
Quite the opposite, actually. I will be seriously considering the privacy implications of everything we do. One of our core principles is a commitment to pseudonymous accounts. To the extent we allow multiple identities to be linked to one account, it will be in your control to do so (or not) as suits your multi-faceted persona, tin foil hat paranoias, or legitimate privacy concerns. While we understand there is a social cost to cheap pseudonyms (see Friedman, Resnick (2001) http://www.si.umich.edu/~presnick/papers/identifiers/081199....), we believe we can develop a reputation system and a user community that resists gaming attempts without significant barriers to entry or privacy-invading personal information mining.

The goal of Hypothes.is is, on the contrary, to be a forum where you can voice your opposition to policies you find to be ushering in a police state and have the community weigh in on an informed discussion.

Anyone who has insurance doesn't care about the price. They only care about the deductible. When people shop around, they look for the insurance companies that provide the lowest deductibles and stick with them. After that, there's no pressure on the providers to lower prices. The insurance companies in the US don't negotiate lower prices, they just pass on the cost to policy holders in their deductibles. The providers can increase the price without fearing that patients will go to a different clinic or buy a different generic version of their drug. Medical care in the US is one of the only industries where raising the price can get your more customers, since it makes the government push for universal health insurance to keep deductibles low.

There are a few solutions, two of which were mentioned in the article. The insurance companies can negotiate prices with providers, or the government can set the price. A third option is to let the patients themselves set the price by having them shop around. The patients would put pressures on the providers by going where they can get the cheapest MRI or the cheapest Lipitor. Then insurance would be reserved for emergency procedures, instead of being used as a medical credit card.

We're not trying to compete for attention in the social web. Part of that is reflected in our involvement with the W3C Open Annotation Working Group (http://www.w3.org/community/openannotation/). While Hypothes.is may be one place to publish, the goal is to provide better linking and referencing tools to facilitate aggregators and plugins that can bring the conversation back to the source material. In other words, to bring this conversation on HN into the RWW frame and vice versa and to allow better quoting and transclusion between these content silos.
Fred Brooks writes in "The Mythical Man-Month":

"Programming managers have long recognized wide productivity variations between good programmers and poor ones. But the actual measured magnitudes have astounded all of us. In one of their studies, Sackman, Erikson, and Grant were measuring performances of a group of experienced programmers. Within just this group the ratios between best and worst performances averaged about 10:1 on productivity measurements and an amazing 5:1 on program speed and space measurements! In short the $20,000/year programmer may well be 10 times as productive as the $10,000/year one. The converse may be true, too. The data showed no correlation whatsoever between experience and performance. (I doubt if that is universally true.)"

It's interesting, Krav Maga makes similar accusations about "regulated" sports like the ones you mentioned. Its argument is that on the streets you're not both following the same rules on the fighting ring, you're using guns, knives, pencils, baseball bats and kicks to the groin, almost always facing multiple opponents at the same time. There's nothing in the sports you listed that prepares you against that.

That said, I agree that simulating twisting the weapon out of someone with a gun pointed at your forehead with a fully extended arm might lead to a boost in confidence, but not so much of a boost in survival rates. I'd still argue that your chances are better with techniques fine-tuned for the streets, rather than the ring.

So far, sounds OK. But then,

> A pseudonym could also be privately verified with a government-issued ID or some other standard, so the user remains pseudonymous to the world, but the reputation system knows who it is.

Really? Seriously? Government ID is about as far away from multi-faceted identity as you can get. The consequence of a database compromise is also going to be orders of magnitude more catastrophic than the average password leak.

Not even Google knows my driver's license number, and I'm sure a lot of us would like to keep it that way. If you want to know what happens when you tie all online identities to Government IDs, just look at South Korea.
