Very nice, but I don't think this improves UX at all. How does having an animation for something help the user understand what's going on? They know something is scrolling because they see the data changing -- a flip / slide / other animation is not necessary.

In fact I think it interferes with UX because it's harder to quickly read the list -- you need to wait for the animation before reading the text. The only exception to this is Skew (because the item text is always visible), but even that is harder to read than just a normal list without the animation.

Very impressive demonstration of CSS3, but just because you can doesn't mean you should.

A couple of years ago, prior to moving completely to the US I opened an international personal account with Chase - basically regular checking, but without the need to be in the US.

I didn't have an SSN at the time, or even an ITIN.

I was in the country, but temporarily, on a 90 day visa waiver from the UK. I just showed my ID etc, and they opened it up. I was using the branch opposite the UN, so I assume they deal frequently with this sort of thing.

So, yes, I was physically present, but you could do it as part of a one day trip. I wan't resident in the US in any meaningful way - i.e., no legal residency, etc.

The #1 thing I do when stopped is go out of my way to 1) prioritize officer safety and 2) avoid generating probable cause for a vehicle search.

i.e. pull over in a place which is safe for both vehicles and for the officer on foot, keep hands visible all the time, turn on dome light, put keys on dashboard, and be polite. Also I tend to announce any moves, like "my wallet is in my back pocket, reaching for it with my left hand", which is overly cautious, but subtly communicates to the officer that you are familiar with police procedures and concerns. You can usually see him visibly relax, at which point it's likely the interaction will be more pleasant. Don't volunteer more information than necessary, but answer questions politely and clearly. (usually, it's just "license and registration." and then "do you know why I stopped you" "no officer"...)

I've gotten >120mph written at 80mph in a 70mph by doing this, several times (I-5 + V8 + empty road...), which can be traffic-schooled. I don't care about a $150 ticket, I care about potentially getting the car impounded for reckless driving, or a vehicle search, or points.
Atari was far more than a video game company then. They had personal computers out since 1979 and were looking at seriously entering the education and telecommunications space. I saw a talk from an Atari veteran a few years ago about how they were working on FM subcarrier systems to allow transmitting programs via the sidebands of commercial radio stations.
Why use the US and not a jurisdiction like the UK?
The minification isn't breaking the code. The authors had an incorrect expectation of how JSMin would minify the code. By the very act of minifying code where new lines matter your are always potentially changing the behavior.
As I commented in another post bashing email recently, there's nothing to fix, and this can be easily pushed to the client. As a messaging protocol, email works great. If you want JSON messaging included, you could build a client that reads that specific MIME type and interprets it differently than other messages. Is this not how Outlook meeting requests work? They are just shown as random attachments in non-supporting clients. Outlook meetings are not part of the email standard, nor should they be.

We don't need to add more cruft to email itself. If you want to create extra protocols for doing different things using email as a medium, go ahead. Email is extendable, as Microsoft, Gmail, Xobni, etc have shown.

Long story short, you can do whatever the hell you want with email. It's not perfect, but it's a really great messaging framework. You can send any message you like, to whomever you like. How the recipient interprets that message is up to them (ie their client).

EDIT: just wrote this up since I'm sick of repeating myself: http://blog.killtheradio.net/technology/email-is-not-broken-...

Thanks for the reply. Great idea to get like minded people together. We hope you plan to share the stories and results from the house. Will make interesting reading if all house mates end up making it big.
By-and-large though, VALVe as a corporation is an outlier in virtually every sense from the rest of the gaming industry. They own 100% of their distribution, they're a developer that distributes for other developers, they're immensely in-tune with their customers, their consistently open support of the modding community, user-vs-profit focused DRM...

Despite the fact that VALVe makes games, they're unlike any other gaming company out there right now. The Minecraft team is a few iterations and portfolio additions away from that same tier.
Wow no power during the day? That's awesome that you took advantage of the resources available to you. Your story was very inspiring, thanks for sharing and I wish you the best of luck
If there is a tool to insert semicolons in all the right places, you could use that before using jsmin. Would that help?
Could not agree more! Sick of the "I did not get your message" -BS!!! You got it and you know it!
I think this is a major part of it. In Europe many kids are drinking like crazy when they're 15. By the time they're 21, binging and going nuts is sort of passe. Underage drinking is also not seen in the same way as it is in the US. The attitude is more "it's better not to drink when you're a kid" rather than "kids drinking is the root of all evil".

I think there is a much more mature view of alcohol consumption. On the other hand, many Europeans seem to have a much more hard-line view on drugs (even marijuana).

But when you consider the history of the US, it is not surprising. We are still less than 100 years away from Prohibition.

The only properly-focused criticisms of email I've read go along the lines of "Email is uselessly robust". I don't personally agree, but what I'm getting at is I agree with your message. E-mail is fundamentally a messaging infrastructure; do with it what you will. If you don't like your inbox filling up- that's not an inherent flaw of RFC-5321 (and related RFC's).

The problem from my reading of it is that "all the right places" changes meaning depending on which specification of JS you're talking about. But yes it would work if you run into the problem and the semicolon-inserter targets the right spec.

Physicists are generally quite busy people, and the fact it was published it in crackpot journal is a pretty good indicator that reading it will be a waste of time. If the authors are physicists, they know what the reception of an article in crackpot journal will be. If they care, they will publish it in a journal with good reputation. If they cannot, it means that it's not worth reading.
Here is what you're missing.

Language lawyering is fine and dandy when you know exactly which compiler will be used and you know exactly how it works.

But on the web that isn't the case. You can write code, but you have no control over what browsers, past, present and future, it will get run on. And it is your responsibility to make that work. According to the spec, you may be right. But in practice you're the one who is wrong, because you're the one whose job it is to make your code work across browsers and future versions of the spec.
Oh, the "leave it to the browser" crowd made their share of mistakes. Does anyone remember LiveJournal? Go to the next 20 posts, then back just to make sure you didn't have one or two lost? If I had a nickel for every poorly-implemented paging technique I've seen, I'd have enough to pay someone to write an open source infinite scroll library.

Oh, and how many people remember writing responses in a text editor and copying it over to the browser window, so that the back button didn't eat your entire post on a forum when something went wonky with the connection? I don't remember Twitter or Facebook ever losing a submission. Maybe I don't use them enough, but asynchronous submit is a great step forward, and I prefer infinite scroll to many of the paging implementations I have lived with over the years.

I've got a question for the world. What would we say?
But most importantly I'm asking you. And my personal apologies for the profanity for those of you who were offended. I just have a quick question about retirement... somethingorother. Nah, mostly I just wanted to chat. Isn't that cool? Me, capturing my words and my thoughts in an easily searchable, infinitely adaptable, and cheaply produced medium and leaving a piece of my opinion for all to see, for (potentially) all of time. So while I've got you here, and hopefully started you thinking, let me ask you a question.<p>What if we've been doing it wrong this whole time?<p>What if the game of life isn't played to win, and isn't measured in success, or victory, or glory? What if our success was measured by the size of the contribution we made to cultural improvement? And what if that definition was decided by us? And most importantly, what if we finally agree that people are people, and will always be different, but always equal. Each person gets one vote. Everyone has the facts, everyone has the data. Everything else we'll figure out as we go. All are welcome, none are required, everyone has equal opportunity for a chance to contribute. Its time we woke up and realized the differences we can make if we find the right connections. I'm willing to start over, trip the reset and begin a new life in which everyone can sit in and vote on the same discussion, and my worth is based upon the value I add to the world. I'm ready, I just can't do it alone. Feel like taking a leap?
Unless you develop very high-valued specialized services (hard), hit a niche market that pays well, or find a way to grow stupidly fast and attract clients in droves, you'll end up wanting to build some kind of scalable product.

Standard services offer diminishing returns. I still believe a healthy business can flourish on it, but it requires a few ingredients:

- a great team
- vision (more important than you may think)
- timing/market demand
- great sales/marketing
- will to endure lots of crap

One harder to get than the other.

A product-focused endeavor has higher potential, is more fun an less stressful, although it's also more risky. A service business will almost certainly fly, but going up high is way harder. So, I guess it depends on your personal goals.

point is that instagram cashed it, and facebook nailed a competitor.

Bottom line: VC's are good for ultrapreneurs, but not for those entrepreneurs who want to take the risk of giving facebook a push from the side.
So any kind of online encyclopedia is specifically Wikipedia?

An online encyclopedia is easy to predict; a user-editable one is a lot more difficult, and there's no evidence this source got there.

It's easy to count hits when you ignore the fact they're misses.
That's not under active discussion. ! as an infix is.
So what the paper proposes I proposed roughly in 1994. My view of the world changed after taking quantum physics in college (I was a science major). I have always been obsessed by time so couple of years later during the winter break I spent a lot of time in deep thoughts and everything came together.

I don't believe time exist as we have been thought. Time is a metric for rate of change (basically what these guys are suggesting at core) and nothing more.

Our perception of the world (cyclical orbit) and recollection (memory) creates our notion of the time.

Also based on my original proposal, time (or rate of change) is an average rate of change. However that depends on the sample size. If you take the sample size as the entire universe you get a very predictable rate of change.

But as your sample size gets smaller (very small system) then that rate of change becomes more uncertain (see where I'm going)

Also if you are in a spaceship (that becomes your sample size) and your velocity effects the rate of change in your sample size. The same with high gravity.

Gravity (especially at extreme level) can greatly dampen or constraint the rate of change (again slowing down of time)

Also based on my proposal it's probabilistically plausible for time (or rate of change) to stop. However that probability becomes very small as your sample size increases. Basically change is inevitable by probability since the universe is in constant state of change. As a result time progresses or move forward since that's the most probable condition.

Sorry for the long rambling. I know most of you will probably hate my comment. I can fully understand it. We have been thought through all of our schooling how to deal with time. But once you see time from the perspective of a metric for rate of change, then your view of the world will never be the same again.

I also proposed that once this new view of time becomes widely accepted and more importantly when we began to have young generation of science students and scientists enter science with this view of the world, we will see complete rethinking and revision of many our of physics laws giving us a new view of science and basically leapfrogging our rate of scientific progress.

I also believe the unifying laws of physic resides in this view of time.
The 'Lines In The Sand' piece reads like someone who is enamored with being a 'bad boy' and that breaking the law is just really cool and if you want to be a cool black hat hacker you should basically try to cause as much mayhem as possible, fuck anyone else (but also be in complete solidarity with the black hat brethren who should totally go to jail for you without question). Apparently you can't even hack for a living because that would be selling out. I guess it's just not cool to get paid for doing the thing you'd do for free anyway.

The author is proud, vain, simple-minded, selfish, jaded, misguided, and totally enamored with his/her ideal 'scene' where they get to be the coolest person in the room because they can be an outlaw. You can't just reject all forms of society and pretend to live in your own little world where everything revolves around you and what you want.

We have to accept certain things we don't like because it's the contract we make with our fellow human beings to live together. Yes, i'll pay my taxes. Yes, I will stop at red lights. And no, you cannot steal from me or destroy my property just because you think it's lulzy or because you justify it as part of some cause you have. Something is wrong with this person that they have absolutely no remorse for any collateral damage suffered by his/her actions toward his/her noble cause.

Also, seriously, having a beef with an irc server is like having a beef with a specific bar or restaurant. Just don't go in there if you don't like it.

The 'Happy Hacking' article should just be renamed 'Why Selling Out Isn't As Fun And Cool As Black Hat Hacking'. I'm pretty disappointed in Phrack for publishing crap like these articles.
Ask HN: Am I hireable?
So I came to the states when I was barely 11 and long story short,my family and I over stayed our tourist visa. Forward to now, I'm a 22 y.o. senior in college in my last semester completing a graphic design degree and a minor in the honors program (business and liberal arts ). I have taught my self HTML, CSS, jquery, some PHP, wordpress, etc. I have also made freelance websites and had an internship in NYC over the summer (junior front developer). I also read and listen to everything about the web development industry, I really try to stay up to date.

> Now that school is almost is almost done, I have no idea what the future holds for me. I would love to work in a start up, but because of missing paper work I can't legally work as a full or part time employee, I would only be able to work with a 1099 (contractor) and without any solution in sight (unless I get married).

So do you guys think I that anyone in the industry would hire me? If not, is there anything that I should focus on learning next? Right now I'm in the process of learning codeigniter, backbone.js and ruby

PS: my family pays taxes
Those are valid points but Google has a different target.

The pages are designed to get the user to spend more time on G+.
Collaborating on a web page detailing his stalking and techniques could be useful in convincing people that he's real. Sounds like he might be quite tenacious about trying to have that sort of thing removed, but it could be repeatedly reposted to different places. If folks can managed to keep "Addicted to Hate" (about the Phelps family of lawyers) on the web, it's likely possible to publish details about this fellow, assuming he's not part of some elite caste.
Yes, and by that time capturing images will not be a differentiating feature for app developers, or novel for end-users.

Some other feature will be, and it'll be native.

I talked about this point in the article.
>Apple has since dropped Java, but back in the day, it was one of the primary supported development environments for Mac OS X. There was a full Cocoa bridge, and you could write native-looking applications in Java.

Only up until Tiger. And you still had the "uncanny value" effect, despite the native-ish look and feel to Swing.

Plus, even SUN and then Oracle abandoned Java on the desktop.

probably because in UK (and EU) the online billing solutions are a nightmare. I would do the same - just to be able to use Stripe.
Read the bit about TC39. "This code will break in the future." There's no point in patching the minifier to support this when the patch will have to be reverted pretty soon anyway.
>This article reads a lot more like "In praise of Cocoa" than anything specific to Objective-C, the language. The author clearly sees them as one beast when they are quite separate.

How so? Since, 99% of Objectice-C development includes Cocoa.

It's like arguing C++ and STL are separate. Might be true, but it's a rather pedantic distinction.
It would be pretty easy to build a tool to route around that type of law. I create a service that encrypts blobs of data (encryptmyblo.bs), and uses a (publicly defined somewhere) postMessage API to communicate that blob to and from a key value store provided by a third party. I have my friend set up a key value store service provider that stores and retrieves blobs (storemyblo.bs), including the facility to search for stored blobs of data based on binary strings.

Because the services exchange those KVPs via a postMessage API, neither service is actually communicating with one another directly or have a formal association. The user is effectively (via the browser) moving the data from one service to another. Since EncryptMyBlo.bs doesn't store any data, and StoreMyBlo.bs doesn't have visibility into the data, neither service would be in violation of those requirements.
The issue I have with G+ within companies is that it leaks to the public side.

You can switch off some parts of it so the content is visible only internally, but your account picture, name, company you work for and the fact that you have an account are visible to anyone on G+.
>I tend to expect tools that I pay $99/year for to work.

Really? Because you can find tools that crash ever for 1 million/year...

If anything $99/year is on the very low side. I wouldn't expect anything to be bug-free at that price point. Have you tried any other large package, from Autocad to Creative Suite to SAP? Do they work 100% of the time?
I can't even imagine how many hours I've lost to Flash-induced beachball. Some pages have dozens of little advertisements and assorted trash that take nearly a minute to sort out.

In this case, it's not language lawyering. All JavaScript environments "do the right thing" with regards to ASI -- it works in all target environments as of the present day. JSMin is not a target environment, it is a minifier that happens to express some strongly-held opinions of its author.

That said, it's hard to program to a spec that does not (officially) exist yet, and doubly so if there's not clear "opt-in/out" path for future versions. Since, as a developer, I can't control what the committee adds or removes from the spec, or what they might break, I can only do the best I can with the language as it is -- not breaking existing code in future versions of the language is the committee's job.
Why do you want to incorporate in the US?
