All about Birthday Gifting
Birthdays are always considered special in India, however they are never ending too. Right from childhood to aging, every birthday has its own charm and a way to celebrate. Now if you are looking for birthday gifts its no wonder that you may start to run out of ideas when you include family members, friends, office colleagues and other acquaintances birthdays.

Looking at numbers, probably you may have 8 close family members and 15 friends including colleagues, which puts you in a situation to celebrate a birthday every 15 days. And just as you look forwards for wishes and gifts from your close circle on your birthday, they are equally excited about celebrating theirs with you.

However most people find it daunting to get presents that mean a lot to their recipients and especially for birthdays since every individual is different. Short-lived generic gifts such as flowers and chocolates have gone out of flavour and there is no one size fits all birthday gifts to cater to your requirements.

Finding gifts for young ones and teens can be a herculean task too, since their interests and likings change very frequently. For example, a cartoon character that was their favourite last year does not interest them this year.

<a href="www.craftila.com">Personalised gifts </a>can be a great way to make anyone’s birthday a day to remember.

Craftila specialises in making sure that your birthday gifts are all about its recipient and cannot be found on high street. Birthday gifts can be easily located under the occasions tab and can be filtered by the type of gift you are looking to gift.

This reminds me of a tangentially related incident where government servers were physically stolen by people dressed up as technicians. Even if you co-lo a dedicated server, if you store enough coins there, it becomes an attractive target for an attacker with some inside help.
I have always found that the fastest way to get out of a funk is to talk. Guess you have already started by sharing on HN. If possible, do the same thing in real life. Just get a friend and tell him/her all these things and maybe you will get a hug. A hug always helps :)
We're not talking about working 100 hours a week at the investment firm vs. part-time at the burger shack here, though. larsberg's talking about managing a team at microsoft -- presumably the pay there is okay.

"Over time even the guy who made this choices will know that, every time he sees someone buying a new car, going on a costly vacation, sending kids to a Ivy league and all the big money luxuries. Inevitable peer comparisons happen, and things get out of hand pretty quickly."

I really don't know what to make of this? My family can't be happy if my kids don't go to Princeton? What are these "inevitable peer comparisons"? Will you really have a ton of marital strife if your wife isn't driving a German luxury car?

"Its far better to have a rich dad/husband than poor one who spends more time."

This is just plain wrong. Wrong and stupid. If you honestly think this... I feel really bad for you. I can't imagine what might have occurred in your life to lead you to this conclusion.

Speak for yourself. Other things being equal, I'd much rather get cash than shares in the company I work for. If the company goes bust, then I'm out of a job and my shares are worth nothing. If I want to invest in equity, then I will buy stocks in other companies and have a more diversified portfolio.

Of course, the situation would be different if I were a co-founder or a key employee with significant influence on the company's direction.
To be fair though, the effective net tax rate in the US was not much different than today back then. That 90% tax rate was essentially fictional in that no one paid anything close to it after deductions and loopholes. It was theater so that politicians could claim the wealthy were paying high taxes.

Reducing the marginal tax rates on income in the US was largely revenue neutral due to the incremental elimination of loopholes, credits, and deductions concurrent with those reductions. If we actually reverted to the tax policies of 1950s I do not think you would be impressed with the distribution of taxes paid.

Ironically, the low marginal tax rates we have today reflect the historical truth more closely than the nominally high rates of the past.
Naturally, engineers talk about engineering, not about politics. What the companies think, I do not know. Has anybody ever asked the likes of Apple, Google, or Adobe whether licensing was a decisive factor in choosing to work on LLVM/Clang?

My guess would be that the choice would have gone the same way if gcc were BSD (although then, Clang might have been a gcc fork), but that it did not help that it was GPL, as their lawyers could not guarantee that incorporating GPL in their libraries would be possible without releasing them as GPL. I would not blame them, as there is little jurisprudence related to that issue, and certainly no worldwide agreement.
bro seriously, you should use google or wikipedia

I believe that the data scene is nascent but growing — both in the open source world and inside of organizations. However, I am not convinced that the Strata attendees are attacking the real problems that organizations who work with data already had... long before Hadoop was a gleam in the eye.

Specifically, working with and sharing data (whether publicly or in a team) is stuck in the 1990's. Every time someone emails an Excel spreadsheet, a kitten dies! The obvious comparison is people emailing video files in the pre-YouTube era... if someone emailed you a 10mb dancing baby AVI, you'd think that their computer had been hacked.

So why do we put up with this sad state of affairs? Where is the GitHub of datasets to rescue us and let a real data community take hold?

That's why we built BuzzData:

http://vimeo.com/35262021

The next time you read an article about where the money in "Big Data" is going to come from, stop to question why people are looking for new problems when we haven't solved the ones we already have?

Seconded - while a founder pretty much lives and breathes startup, having a retreat once so often helps great not only in de-stressing, it grounds you and realigns yourself to the world.

Some times when ya got a memory leak you just gotta reboot the comp and start fresh and clean. Good luck from Palo Alto, CA.
I've got to wonder too. If you rent out an apartment and someone breaks in with a key they stole from the landlord and takes your TV, can you sue the landlord? On the other hand, if you rent a security deposit box from a bank and it gets broken into, is the bank liable?

SSL is essential for any site that requires logins to protect your username/password and session to protect it from being hijacked. Tor only needs to be used if anonymity is necessary.
It's for this reason that I use Vagrant (http://vagrantup.com/) - don't have to care what my development workstation is; I just spin up a virtual machine to hack and test in. :)

>I wish people would quit using Linode.

Yet another man who wants to punish honesty? They could claim that the attacker used the proper user credentials to login on the server and nobody would be able to disprove that.

>They have a track record of having security issues

Please, provide a proof-link.

>they are not PCI compliant;

No credit card credentials have been stolen. It's that bitcoin service kept the keys insecurely. Bitcoin transactions should be signed on a machine w/o public access from the Internet (1) and have a threshold for transactions which have not yet been reviewed manually (2). Having these two practices implemented they would lose not more than that threshold (say, $1k-$5k).

>and unless they replace every single last BTC, I am going to just go ahead and state they never did care about their customers.

I have not heard about such a practice in the digital world. Nobody can make a 100%-secure system. But everyone can stay honest and improve security when a vulnerability has been found.

I hope so. They said they will be "reviewing our policies and procedures to prevent this from ever recurring."

That doesn't imply they will be posting a public update. As a Linode customer, I would like to know details of how this breach occurred and what actions will be taken to prevent it in the future.
> Awesome. Now they just need to get Optimus and Switchable Graphics working.

Would that they could. There is some work going on in bumblebee and its branches, but some of the design decisions made in X Server make it nigh-impossible to actually implement.

Wayland might, though.
If bullet number 4 is correct, it sounds like a good idea. I would have to see proof that bullets 2 and 4 are correct in order for me to agree though.

3) is far fetched and would be catastrophic regardless, and 1) may not be viable because the 15 days of the month where the far side of the moon is facing the sun, it isn't facing the earth. If placed on the other side, 50% of the month, earth would be blocking out the sun on the moon's surface, and the other 50% of the month, the near side of the moon wouldn't be facing the sun.
For iOS, since the release of Xcode 4.0, the built in unit testing capabilities of SenTestKit have proven to be adequate for me. Before Xcode 4.0, the configuration required to get unit tests up and running and debuggable was quite painful, but it is now as simple as choosing to add a unit test target to your project...
See http://www.weusecoins.com . If I remember correctly, it had a pretty good explanation, plus a video with the tl;dr version.
Correct, that's because up to 16 Mb/s is for sound.

I have (and love) Blu-ray, but as much for the sound as the picture. Blu-rays have incredible audio.
> they are not PCI compliant

They're a VPS host. I mean, cats aren't PCI compliant either, but it doesn't say much.

You shouldn't be using a VPS for this sort of thing for many reasons, mind you.
This is something I discovered by accident over the last decade. At first I spent most of my income. After normal expenses I would spend what's left over on entertainment and status symbols like newer cars, etc.

Eventually I discovered that I have no real desire or need to spend more than $1500-1800 a month. That's probably very cheap to those living in silicon valley but I'm in the midwest and earn more than triple that amount after taxes.

Watching savings pile up is satisfying for a while, but eventually I had to come to terms with what I'd like to achieve in my professional and personal life, aside from money. I'm currently going back to school and it's the best decision I ever made.
Doubly-homomorphic encryption (also called "fully-homomorphic") was recently invented and in principle solves the general problem.
Well, I also haven't seen any films involving car theft and racing for ages :). Taste, taste, taste. I didn't enjoy DA, because it was wasting my time even more than ME, which at least had the inventory cruft cut. I agree that DA should be mentioned in one breath with others when it comes to careful storytelling.

HNers: Please give us a new name
Dear HNers,

We're creating an iPhone app "hhhungry", which is a one tap way to find friends to eat with for today's lunch and diner (hhhungry.com).

However, we are thinking to a new name for it and we deiced to ask you to help us rename our product.

WHY
We' been thinking a new name, since we pivoted and we've heard a lot of complains about our name "hhhungry" especially from "girls".
However, we've been screwing up renaming it for weeks and weeks. And finally, a devastating fight for a new name among the team made us ask you to inspire us!

REWARD
If you give us an inspiring name and you live at San Francisco, New York, or Tokyo, we'll invite you a sushi dinner.
You don't live at those cities? We'll send you 3 t-shirts:)

Every other site now is either directly blocking Tor users or at least make its use problematic.

I know it's mainly because of abusers, but once every bigger site doesn't allow Tor users, it makes the Tor use too complicated.

I think a visual/natural language command line could be the future of UIs. To get people to use basic visual programming tools instead of relying on trivial apps made by others, you need to force them into it, like BASIC did on old computers. If the divide between programming and general UIs for everyday tasks was reduced, people would be much more receptive of programming. It would involve the same type of thinking they'd practice daily.

OSX Automator makes a whole class of quickie apps redundant. Batch renamers, resizers, converters are a few autocompletes and drag and drops away. Mathematica and Wolfram Alpha let you do annoying little programming tasks with a large library of curated functions accessed with autocomplete/natural language - http://blog.wolfram.com/2010/11/16/programming-with-natural-...

A visual/natural language command line could do the same for general computer use. Instead of finding some tiny poorly designed buttons in a giant app, you'd type in what you want and find it faster, foregoing the usual step of the application's help. A simple example would be removing red eye in photoshop. Finding that tool for novices is the full app is impractical. So they're forced to get dumbed down photoshop where the tool's placement is more obvious. Instead they could have typed red eye, scary eye, fix eyes, into the full app.

Also the placement of red-eye remover is so obvious in basic photo editors that they leave little room in the UI for other common tasks. What about make skinny? Remove wrinkle/pimple? Those become far harder to present with the GUI paradigm. Heal brush and liquify are not helpful names for novices.

The modern GUI strayed too far from the command line in order to remove modes and make computers novice friendly. Other directions weren't thoroughly explored.
Back in the day there were rumours that Intel has a gcc fork inhouse, and since it doesn't distribute it, it doesn't need to share it. Basically the same thing that is happening on GOOG apache-linux android etc, only GOOG offers services that do not involve the distribution of their custom GPL fork. AAPL is a platform company, so needs to distribute devkits for their platform, because that made MS powerful in the first place.

The fact that new releases cost $lots doesn't affect the viability of Netflix's operation, any more than the fact that a new car costs $20,000 affects the viability of selling it secondhand later on for $5,000. Any costs related to property, rent etc are not relevant, and the (much larger) licensing costs of movies are arbitrary figures set by the industry. They could set them pretty much wherever they want for Netflix and still make money since their marginal cost is pretty much zero. And while they may not want to do that, the alternative to customers paying $10/month for Netflix is probably not customers paying $100/month when most people know there are other alternatives.
Obviously I don't believe that clothes literally make the man. But your "internal" value always needs selling. Clothes are a major way we represent ourselves to other people.

If you don't like buying nice clothes, fine. Don't underestimate their value.

Sassy-ness aside, couldn't resist the jab, our clothes really do make us better and more desirable. At least in the way other people see us. Certainly wearing nicer clothes won't make you a better programmer. It might get you a better programming job though.

Ask HN: Platform options for quick intra-office coding questions?
Quick questions such as "How can I search history in bash?" or "How do I copy to system clipboard in Vim?"

What are the platform options for this very fast question and answer service? Not something like StackExchange. More along the lines of IRC. I've also considered Yammer, Socialcast and Campfire.
So you spin up an instance with Adobe software in?
Ask HN: How do you organize your sales leads/prospects?
At our startup we're staring to get a few leads and it's getting a bit disorganized.
Basically, we need a way to track the status of each lead. Have we called them? Did we schedule a follow-up call? Or did it go to voicemail? If so, when will we call them again? And which one of us is in charge of each lead?

I wanted to know what processes or software solutions other HN members have in place to help manage their phone calling and sales cycle. Thanks!
QR Code for C#

Stop using Mon, 26 Jul 1997 Now
Yep...know how you feel bud. Thanks for sharing out loud.

I want to add one additional suggestion. I think lack of light and Seasonal Affective Disorder gets mixed into the normal startup depression quite frequently. It's never surprising to me when people feel depressed during winter months. The lack of light, lack of vitamin D—it contributes heavily.

Now, the OP mentioned this is a once-a-quarter pattern, so S.A.D is clearly not the only thing at play. But I would be willing to bet that it contributes.

For those that know me, I'm a huge evangelist of light products to solve insomnia. In the winter, these same light products solve for S.A.D. My old post on insomnia has lots of good links: http://www.humbledmba.com/become-a-morning-person-how-to-end...

My new favorite light product is the NatureBright Per 3 (http://www.amazon.com/NatureBright-PER3-Deluxe-Light-Therapy...). It's well worth a try.

Whatever you buy, make sure it provides minimum 5000 lux and that you use it at least 30 minutes a day.

And finally—
Regardless of all this, props to you for writing a wonderfully authentic post. And it's already quite obvious with the comments here that you are not alone. Keep at it.
