Oh my god, thumbkissing.

"A feature called 'thumbkissing' shows your partners thumbprints whenever they’re touching the screen, and both phones will vibrate if your thumbs are on the same place."

This is clearly the best YC startup ever. Hurry up on the Android app for those of us in mixed relationships!
Hacker News is all about Python/Ruby/Clojure/Scala/Haskell most of the time, but then we find that there is this huge group of very happy Windows/C# developers that are passionate about their environments. Where are you the rest of the time? What have you people been building?

And that's to say nothing of big cities. $750k may be an outlier in Eastern MD, but it's not uncommon for specialists in NY or LA to clear $1M easily. True outliers can climb north of there.

Medicine is still an extremely reliable way to become everyday rich, if not outrageously so. It beats the pants off of corporate jobs, and it beats law on average (though law outliers tend to beat medicine outliers). It loses out to investment banking, but the lifestyle is far superior.

A smart person can do a lot worse than medicine.

Tl;dr: the sexting app. I met one of the cofounders at the Stripe CTF meetup. They're a Waterloo U. Team, seemed like a sharp group. Pair was their pivot. Initially they had a 3D mouse based on the iPhone accelerometers.

Call me old school but I'd rather find someone who lives in the same city than try to maintain a relationship through an app. If you absolutely need to stay in touch with someone every minute of everyday it's probably better to just move.

The solution to working too much to be in touch with the partner you really care about is not an app, it's telling your boss to shove the job up his ass. That said, I doubt there will be any shortage of suckers who prefer to spend time at the office than with their partner.
In france some lotteries are broken since forever [1], "everybody" knows it, and nobody cares. Friends of bar tenants gets the gains. "La française des jeux" get the overall gains. The general public is generally fucked more than it should.

[1] tickets are not random but comes in batch with nearly constant amount of various outcomes: the seller, who you tipically ask for your gain, can take note of what happened in each batch and predict if its remaining part is worth being buyed by a friend. Very easy.
Sure, at a certain level of abstraction, everything is related to everything. The situations in which you would use the design methodology of simplification really has nothing to do with the reason the original author of this article is recommending not taking on some client work.

On top of all of this, why do you use the term "anti-pattern"?

I don't think that word means what you think it means: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-pattern
How about Go? #golang
Off topic I guess but what is typical for repeat customer %? I realize it could vary considerably by what we're talking about, but it is something I have been wondering.
Look at all the horror stories of badly written programs or moronic CEO or things like that.

The other parts of the world are fucked up as well. There are probably a lot of "secure" lotteries, but there are probably also a lot of insecure ones.

Thanks, I'll have to fix that
Seemed fake but I really wanted to get some Tacocopter... So I guess with this and Kid Icarus Wing Man we are starting April Fools as early at March 20th now?
Thanks for that, I feel the same way for process isolation. In theory that should be a solution but in practice doesn't work for historic reasons.

Just one comment. ZEROVM IS NOT NACL. It uses NaCl, moreover we explicitly refrained to touch validator in order to remain under its proven security blanket (Google established hefty monetary prizes for each found exploit). However, except of validator it is heavely refactored and rewritten.

MAIN DIFFERENCE:

NaCl has "syscall firewalling" feature that is called Pepper. ZeroVM forbids all host syscalls. In fact ZeroVM is a new virtual hadware architectures (a subset of x86 and subset of ARM and new ones in future) so there is no such concept for code running inside as "host syscalls".
Spot on. Though I’m not sure that instant-runoff voting would be as infeasible as you suggest.
I remember reading the second wired article in print. I highly recommend it — interesting story, good writing.
> pg started mailing his companies to stop commenting on HN because it's a fever swamp

Wow, really? That's unfortunate that HN can no longer function PR-less.

BTW, would you mind linking to a source, or something? I must have missed it when it happened, would be interesting to read. Thanks in advance.
No, I too also believe ARM has a huge hill to climb to matter any where else. Radical energy prices could affect that, but I've had SPARCs, MIPS, Itaniums, PowerPCs, and Alphas and Intel always wins, performance per dollar per ease of being on main street. (Trust me, there is geek appeal to some exotic RISC chip but after supporting it for a while, there is something very cool about just apt or yum installing the stuff you want and it works) Intel is insanely good at what they do.

It is fascinating seeing the split between design and fabrication come out like it has. As Sun faded out, I thought they were at a huge disadvantage without fabrication capability, it really looked like the only way to compete and matter was to do it all. That could ultimately end up being Intel's disadvantage if some of the fab companies can out do them at fab costs; but like I said, Intel is insanely good at what they do.

It's also remarkable that NVidia does look like the odd man out. Seemed unbeatable for so many years there
Destructuring just doesn't fit with the current language syntax. There are no copy constructors in C#, so something like [a, [b, c]] = [1, [2, 3]] makes no sense syntactically. In languages where declaring objects don't require a new, this syntax follows naturally.

For the simple case of say, destructuring a tuple, that could work well:
a, b = ReturnsATuple(). But anything more general would just seem tacked onto the language.

But then again, tuples don't really fit well in C# either! Tuples are only useful if you don't have to declare their types, ever. Without full type inference, nothing is saved by using tuples over, say, an inline object.

I don't understand the significance of first class events, so I can't really comment on that. And as far as I know, delegates are first class now with the inclusion of lambdas.
>While Obama and Congress are talking about how to make regulation more business friendly [...]

Talking != doing.
Sorry, wait - how is this different than the RoR magic. Where you can do stuff like MyObject.findByArbitraryProperty and it just works? That's PFM if you ask me. Django, RoR, and Node all have lots of magic bits. You don't have to use any of the magic, which also goes for MVC.

(I do agree with you though - just because other frameworks have magic bits doesn't mean I like it in MVC. I would also prefer it not be there. I just don't think you can really pick on MS in this case.)
There's not dozens of RHEL clones. There is CentOS, but it's had its problems lately and Scientific Linux predates it.

If you're suggesting that other random free distros are suitable when one is looking at RHEL or an RHEL clone... well, that's rather silly.
that would definitely be an effective way to exploit the weakness, and if the value of your time is low enough, it would be profitable. A slightly more efficient way to exploit it would be to have the shop owner as a friend and have them tell you when a large non-winning streak has occurred.
It started with a thumbkiss i never though it would come to this :)
It seems like there aught to be some sort of liability for mandating insecure practices for your customers.
> There are already cases where people consent to credit and background checks (fairly thorough; talking to neighbors, friends, etc. at length, for 7-10 years). These are voluntary checks for high level security clearances with the government.

The SSBI is not significantly more thorough than has become common for many private employees, and doesn't find, attempt to find, or care about a great deal of the personal information that may be found in a Facebook profile.

> Similarly, a court order should be able to get all the data from a profile, but not to allow the government to masquerade as you by logging in and actively communicating with others.

Facebook has been providing information in response to court orders for years, but does not provide the ability to masquerade as the user.
Sounds like exactly the same thing as the South Korean produced 'Between' app, which is already cross platform. Not to say that they couldn't execute better, but it's not a novel idea.

The biggest problem I find with long distance relationships, especially across time zones, is the real time nature of it. It's blocking. Especially for two busy people.

I would rather record a small video (rather than video chat), write an actual email (rather than IM back and forth), draw a silly picture (than send smiley faces back and forth). If you could change it from feeling like a status report to a message in a bottle, it really does change the dynamics of a long distance relationship.

Funny enough I recently stopped dating someone because of the distance factor. Maybe Pair could have solved that "problem".
Wow--we can't be serious with this people. I fly these things--not very well--but I build and fly these things. We are so far from this tech being able to deliver anything autonomously it's not even funny.

I think this is a joke--if it's not, the founders are jokes because they have no idea what they are talking about and clearly no idea where this technology actually stands. Spend some time on rcgroups.com, fpvlab.com and the other multirotor forums and you'll realize just how serious those people are how quickly "Tacocopter" would get laughed out of the room.
As I read the article, I was thinking much the same thing. This guy can build the best medical mouse trap ever -- but between the government red tape, the litigious cya environment, and the slow-to-move hospital industry, it just ain't going to be adopted.

I wish it were different.
Changing the odds isn't the same as changing the expected value. Cash Windfall modified the EV of the lower prizes by increasing the value.
Well... they're both popular, dynamic, object-oriented programming languages with a clean syntax. But that doesn't make them interchangeable. ;-)

In general I find that Python is the easiest language for me to "think in", syntax-wise. It is almost pseudo-code in its simplicity, and I like that it has extremely powerful namespaces. It also seems to me that it's easier to write programs in Python which ignore object orientation in favor of a more functional style, than it is in Ruby. I'm slowly falling out of love with OOP, and Ruby loves its objects.

I also really like Python's libraries for numerical and scientific work. For whatever reason, Python took off in the scientific community, and it's got libraries like NumPy and SciPy which I haven't seen duplicated in Ruby. It's also easy to integrate with existing Fortran and C libraries... and if you've done much work with Fortran, you know that it might be blazing fast but it's not the most pleasant thing to work in. Much nicer to glue it together with Python. :-)

Where Ruby shines for me is in its libraries for server configuration and web development. I like Python's webdev libraries, but I still find it easier to work with Rails or Sinatra than with Django or Bottle. I also think that Chef is one of the best things ever for managing servers in a programmatic fashion, and for that you need Ruby.
Luckily C# supports them:

Unfortunately I do not control the desktops of clients connecting to my products. I like the ESR though, thanks for the links.
Sometimes there's no alternative. Off the top of my head being separated by a visa situation is an example.
Nice site! I think the questions and answers need some kind of visible timestamp though. Q&A, by its very nature, can go stale quickly.
I'm disappointed in Wired for repeating the nonsense that Star was arrested for a "hoax explosive device". She had a shirt with blinking lights on it.

EDIT: On second read, Wired's statement is technically true; that's the justification the police gave for arresting her. But as written, it implies that Star intended such a hoax.
Basically, your marketing materials get to say that you implement the cool new thing.

Current QC accomplishes shared key generation only (so it's similar to a public key primitive like DH). Bulk ciphering and MAC are still done by classical symmetric algorithms. Forgoing the fibre and only using the pre-shared key would yield similar security properties.
How can Hollywood studios become more profitable using Internet?
I'd like to use this page to discuss what are the real solutions for Hollywood studios to create a new sustainable global business model using the Internet to deliver their movies and TV shows<p>Examples:
Monthly subscription
Pay per view
Ads (what specific ads are you thinking, interstitial video ads between clips etc)<p>Great article about Hollywood 'Fear' :http://techcrunch.com/2012/03/17...<p>Note:In my opinion Hollywood needs a global business model, otherwise piracy will continue to be the global model, because, today piracy suppresses a need, because Hollywood studios don't have a global solution to a big problem. So... if I'm a big fan of Californication for example, and I live in Europe, usually I need to wait 3, 4,5 months maybe a year to watch the new season, so what I do? I simply download it because I don't want to wait, and I download it because I can't access this content legally at the same time that people watch it in US, so the question is Hollywood want to keep fighting piracy (Mission impossible, like Music Industries knows), or found a solution and start monetize contents around the world, eliminating some intermediates and making more money (because most of the times internet distribution can be much more 'direct' to consumers)<p>I think that something to manage content, like a market place for content where content owners can manage many things like, territories, revenue models etc. to each content can be the key to Hollywood move fast to a sustainable global model.<p>Some examples of companies that actually do this service to several content owners, like, Showtime, Discovery, ESPN etc. and easily provide a "global market" check below:<p>http://www.brightcove.com/en/

Cool! Thanks.

I wonder if the price will ever come down to the point where it's used in consumer devices.
This isn't a new business model. When a company has a huge amount of resources, it's pretty easy to cherry-pick smaller independent companies by borrowing their ideas.
Is this thing that everyone says true?
A Peek at Art.sy’s Much-Anticipated Beta
It was an epic screw-up to position it as a head-to-head competitor with NVIDIA and ATI for Direct3d. They should have positioned it as an HPC chip from the beginning and then perhaps later said: "Oh, btw, it has these texture samplers, so let's make a video driver just to see how this CPU of ours compares to GPUs for gaming." That would have set expectations at a much more realistic level.

Adding a leading semicolon just in case seems like overly defensive programming to me. You ought to pick trustworthy tools. If your script concatenator doesn't work right, I think it's better to fail fast rather than let things quietly be half-broken all over the place.
Stop by the Facebook page for Battlefield some time. It's deplorable. I've kind of adjusted to the fact that there are trolls out there who just want to get a rise out of people, but a lot of the comments I see out in the wild these days are coming from "normal" people who just seem to have no idea that they're talking to another person.
This is disgustingly cute, but that's the point. I could definitely imagine people using this (it would eliminate a lot of one-word "hi" type SMSes...)

I wonder how they're going to handle migration between relationships.
your parent is suggesting that java does not have a substitute for lambdas.
Nor should it. It's for inserting a bunch of stuff, really fast. You can just do normal saves if you want to call the save() method.

Yes, Martingale's doesn't raise your expected value above zero/negative for any games of chance. Towards infinity, it won't change your outcome -- you will still eventually loose all your money.

If you factor in the times the player went bankrupt, your win percent probably won't look so hot.
I know of no one time pad algorithms for message authentication, which is a critical component of basically all real-world cryptographic systems. IMHO talking about bare XOR as "theoretically unbreakable" misleads newbies as to the important concepts in modern cryptography.
Hey bhousel - thanks for the feedback! Right now questions are sorted by most recent so you can see new questions at the top of a page, but we're looking at rolling out timestamps as well.
I'm currently living in California. My girlfriend lives in Ontario. Sometimes "just moving" isn't really an option.

Besides, I don't think this is /exclusively/ for long distance relationships. I'm sure there are some couples not in a long distance situation that would enjoy this.
Probably not, eventhough there is Mono.
>And about Python? Why is it so awesome?

It's concise and powerful. Not as fast as C but if you think 'everything is in it (C) seriously' then you're missing out (except in the sense that the reference implementation of Python is built in C).

It's relatively easy to do cool things. Look at http://hyperpolyglot.org/scripting for good examples. (This will also help you see why Ruby is cool.) Things that knock my socks off are generator expressions (expression(x) for x in iterable if another_expression(iterable)) and indexing (Reverse a string s? s[::-1]. And this notation does generalize...).
This guy provides no evidence that it is a non-story. I've heard plenty of stories, though the ones that bother me more are abuses by teachers and school administrators. Either way it's good to get it out there that it is not OK.

When I worked at a gas station, it was 50-50 between those with lucky numbers and those with theories about where the prizes fell (i.e. higher tickets were less lucky )
Assuming the author of this article only has the previous Boston Globe article to go on that is what appears to be the case. I looked around and the response from Star seems to conflict a lot with the article, so either the police lied (seems most likely) or she did, either way I don't think you can criticise the author of this article for what they said or their tone as the Boston Globe presents it in exactly the same way.

When I saw the Tacocopter post yesterday I had a little chuckle ... and then was completely floored by people arguing about it and going off into side-rants about the FAA getting in the way of progress.

I think that's a great idea (to separate the repo). I was thinking about how to use this UI for multiple popular blogging platforms (Mainly WordPress and static generators).

Could you provide any help in naming the UI repo?
I will definitely be shopping more carefully the next time I purchase a phone. I have an AT&T iphone 4. It works well, I have good coverage, and it can be used internationally, but AT&T will never unlock a phone, even after your contract is up, or if you are traveling overseas. I was in Europe for a week, and as soon as the phone connects, I get a text from AT&T saying that the data rate is $19.97/MB! Data was off, because I knew it would be a rip-off, but I had not guessed to what extent.

Though it did (in the simulation). The accumulated winnings with the limits on bankrupt and cashing out at 1500 created a over time win percentage in a otherwise negative-biased game?
False.

Facebook's primary goal is to get its users to share more and more over time (see Zuck's law).

Stories such as this--watch what you share on Facebook irregardless of your privacy settings--are detrimental to that goal. They must put the kibosh on such behavior fast and early.
I was skeptical when I read the TechCrunch article (I'm a skeptical, jaded bastard).

But my cofounder Sri and I downloaded it and started playing together. Few minutes in we were giggling like children and I now see the value in Pair.

It's perfect for those serious couples with useful features like task lists, built-in Facetime, ability to show "where you are" etc.

Good job!
NodeBox also has the tremendously useful "clip to path" which Processing does not.
