There has been a big uptick in the last 12 years on rechargeable gadgets. We used to put double AA batteries in everything. The only thing that needed a charger was the gigantic Motorola MicroTAC cell phone. Nowadays, it's the opposite. I count seven of them in my house alone. The only thing I need a battery for is my television remote.

Inductive charging pads are a great idea, but you need a big vendor to make a standard one. Apple is probably the only company with large enough marketshare. If they came up with an inductive charger for their iPhones/iPads, their product would quickly become _the_ standard. Eventually Amazon would install the technology in the Kindle, Android handset makers would do it just to keep in the game. 3rd-Parties would make inductive power stations for cars, bedside tables, dressers, desks, you name it.

And I would buy at least three.

Alcohol in various doses has been a very important part of making games for me. It removes inhibitions and speeds up the creative process.
Of course it takes a sober mind to go through the notes and remove the chaff but more often than not there are some gems. Sobriety also brings the will to implement the ideas which is always a more laborious process.

I'm pretty sure other drugs can have similar effects, although not from personal experience.

For many reasons we need to get past the idea that drugs can only have negative effects and use them for our good. In the UK alcohol plays a VERY important part of our social lives and while many people lament the downsides I think we should celebrate the upsides.
I think this is a cool way to do it. It's a very nice effect and ensures people are using good quality versions of their logo.

I like your workflow in the department of signups (no password, no 'account', opt-out in every email).
However, I entered my email yesterday, got screen saying 'email is being delivered as we speak' and did not receive the email. Side effect - I can not reregister, reset password or what not ('Email address has already been taken').

Effectively, unsuccessful sign-up locks user out. You could provide some options (resend? remove?) where 'Email address has already been taken' is now.

Edit: 'unsuccessful sign-up' - seems like success is fractional here.

I understand what you're saying but it's very easy for your site to become filled with these sort of posts that most people aren't going to care for. There are sites out there for finding a co-founder already, it seems silly to let your site become another one of those sites and dilute the value. For me at least when looking for a job I want something that pays, if a noticeable amount of results on your site are posts saying "we can't pay yet but if we make money we will" then it'll change the audience that care for your site.

If you're set on allowing them at the very least can you provide an option to filter these out? You allow for filtering of all other types so it seems sensible people (like me, or maybe just me...) can get rid of the university student with an idea type postings.

There is no barrier to entry on having an idea, anyone can have an idea, a non-technical co-founder can spend half an hour thinking of a name and pitch and then make a post on your site, that is (to me) not the sort of thing I expect from a job site.

What agenda do you think I have? That I want Iran to be nuclear armed? I do not; but I think the alternatives are worse (nuclear strikes on Iran, US invasion of Iran; I think a conventional strike on Iran would have a similar effect to the Israeli one on Iraq in 1981).

Please tell me what you think my agenda is before discussing anything further. It's a pretty serious accusation.

> Also: who cares if Iran has a Jewish population?

It's a simple fact to illustrate that Iran is not bent on destruction of the Jewish people. Cultivating that idea in the public mind is the aim of that mistranslation, because the false idea of a genocidal Iran garners more worldwide support for the Israeli Government.

> That doesn't mean Ahmadinejad isn't a threat to Israel.

The only people threatened in any serious way by the Iranian regime are the Iranian people themselves. The idea that Iran poses a threat to Israel or the West is merely the public story to garner support for any military action.

Iran is surrounded by the largest military super-power in history, and has a hostile and aggressive neighbour who is armed with a significant number of nuclear weapons. Iran's military posture is defensive, and all serious military analysis does not regard Iran as a threat. A politician talking things up for a domestic audience does not qualify as a serious threat, but it certainly helps feed into a narrative for Western audiences.

The nuclear ambitions of Iran are also clearly defensive. North Korea remains untouched where Iran's neighbour Iraq is completely overrun. Obtaining nuclear-power status delivers much more political leverage, but that's it. Iran's leaders know any move to aggression would quickly result in military annhilation by Israel / US.

Ruby and Python take like 10 secs to install on Windows these days. Not sure what you're doing wrong. The only annoying thing is occasionally you come across a python library that needs compiling and that turns into a veritable nightmare.

Simple trick I do on my windows machine is to create a bin folder and add it to the PATH settings so you can just bung things like curl and sqllite in there without faffing around.

I'm not saying it's great and windows is definitely cli hostile, but you're exaggerating the problems.

Just teach your hackers win key+r or on win 7 they can just hit the win key, type cmd, press enter. Then type irb or python, enter. Done.

In terms of filtering out those jobs, we're working on that already. We've been waiting for the database to grow as it was overly restrictive when there were only a few pages of jobs on the site.

Without wanting to downplay the seriousness of Iran's nuclear program, this is incorrect on two counts. Firstly, Iran has not enriched to weapons-grade - the highest levels it has gone to is just under 20%, which is still LEU (Low-Enriched Uranium).

Secondly, there are other uses for weapons-grade HEU other than weapons - for example, Brazil enriches to weapons-grade to produce fuel elements for its nuclear submarines (HEU is used in naval reactors so that they can be more compact). Iran doesn't have naval reactors, though.

"It's really easy to bash Microsoft based on their history of interaction with the OSS community - remember Embrace, Extend, Extinguish?"

They continue using the same technique today. It is only that enough people have opted out from them and they are doing fine(It was very difficult in the past not depending on MS).

I have to use proprietary MS tech like Silverlight to browse their web pages, no thanks, and they don't want to support webGL in IE so they don't empower standards like OpenGL.

I prefer they don't mess with open Standards so they don't corrupt them. EEE is still alive today because the culture of a company is so difficult to change at the deep level(you need to change the entire hierarchy, the power chain), and they have not done that. This is just PR.

"There are plenty of people within Microsoft who would love to be in this space."

Yeah, in every company there is all kind of people. The question is who gets promoted to make decisions. As the company gets older the hierarchy becomes self sustaining like in the catholic church +65 years old bishops choosing a +80 years old Pope. Do you expect the Pope to change the structure that elected him?.

But you do now know about it. People telling each other about a hidden feature (via HN or whatever) is a common and valid way for non-essential features to be discovered.

If you designed UIs assuming that that sort of user-to-user education doesn't exist, you'd be forced occasionally to reject a potentially handy power-user feature on the basis that there's no good place to promote it without cluttering the design. Which would be a shame.
> Iran's military posture is defensive

Iran has insurgents and clerics in Iraq actively attacking Sunni civilians and Saudi-backed militias and NATO soldiers. Iran sends weapons and money to Hamas in Gaza. Iran funds and sends weapons to Hezbollah, a paramilitary and political organization that has metastasized in Lebanon, accused of assassinating the Lebanese president. Iran sends weapons and money to Bashar Al-Assad in Syria.

Can you explain what is to be gained by pushing apologist rhetoric for the Iranian regime?

I'm genuinely curious to know what you personally gain or what is gained 'in the abstract' by sugar-coating Iran's international ambitions. There seems to be a certain faction within the left that is very bent on this mission and I'm hoping you can explain the rationale behind it.

I wondered what would happen if your passport was revoked while overseas.

According to the State department: "Denial or revocation of a passport does not prevent the use of outstanding valid passports." "The physical revocation of a passport is often difficult, and an apparently valid passport can be used for travel until officially taken by an arresting officer or by a court." "A passport will not be revoked when the whereabouts of the bearer is unknown."

I've funded a few projects. The money goes through as soon as the funding period is over assuming the project has surpassed it's funding goal. I've funded 9 projects and received 6 rewards (just checked). Two of the last three are from the last six months and still in progress (one is an apology for being late with an excuse of the creator quitting his job and moving) and the last was a project that launched but I never received the reward on my funding level (not that I care all that much, as it was a series of letterpress postcards).
Sadly, I did not realize it was a navigation bar before reading your comment.

I thought it was something generated by a poorly constructed markov chain.
I motivated that statement. You don't have anything to say about that, either?

Edit: Sigh, the "answer" below just repeats the previous, it is still not touching what I wrote. AGAIN:

1. I killed an argument (rational is just not in "kings" historically) -- you just ignored it.

2. I noted that this would probably result in a nuclear race with at least the traditional competitors of Iran -- Turkey and SA.

3. This religious junta will almost certainly torture, rape and oppress the Iranian population as long as there is oil, without external intervention.

I think you will just repeat your position while ignoring everything else. Hence, an agenda of some sort that you want to get out.

"The metacircular interpreter of Kernel can't compete with McCarthy's version."

First, it doesn't cover macros, while Kernel subsumes functions and hygienic macros with a single construct. Second, I don't think a toy version of a Kernel metacircular evaluator would be much more complex than the toy McCarthy evaluator.

"Any language with fexprs is 'as fundamental' as Kernel. Including LISP 1."

Only if said language is lexically scoped, and fexprs receive the lexical environment in which they are called as parameter, as in Kernel. Otherwise you'll miss hygiene.
Obviously "English channel" centric.

Stop talking about flash!!! those who want to block it already do. They're trying to beat a dead horse. My current pain is this stupid HTML5 video element.

There is no way to block the fucker, it wastes my bandwidth and I can't do a damn thing about it because HTML5 is????

If these crazy browser companies allow me to block VIDEOs, AUDIO as easy as I can block flash, Javascript, images whenever I feel like then maybe this post will make a little bit of sense.
(lambda args body) is not the same as ($vau args env body), because the latter doesn't evaluate its operands.

Lambda in Kernel is defined as follows:

($define! $lambda
($vau (formals . body) env
(wrap (eval (list* $vau formals #ignore body)
env))))

When you say ($lambda (x) x), a new fexpr (that ignores the environment in which it is called, because lambdas don't need it) is constructed -- ($vau (x) #ignore x) -- and then it is wrapped, so that its operands are evaluated.

So,

(lambda args body)

can be expressed as

(wrap ($vau args #ignore body))
The guessable primes were in routers sold to the general public, which as a rule are cheap and don't get any kind of security maintenance.

It's rather shameful that vendors of expensive “SSL accelerators” aren't able to fix their problems. That inability to support the products they sell makes SSL slower (FalseStart) and less secure (TLS 1.1+ adoption, the BEAST attack).
I don't think so, Portuguese and Spanish data seems to be almost removed from it, it cherry picks the age of sail past 1750 when the African Cape of Good Hope had been passed around 1448. Brasil, South America and India first endeavours don't even show up. Either the authors had restricted data sets or this is simply a partial representation that is clueless of the age of sail it wants to portray.
Ask: unknown IP delivering DHCP
Hello.

In my LAN I'm using the network 192.0.0.0/24 with a DHCP (192.0.0.14)
delivering for the entire LAN through 3 smart switches.
Yesterday I found a machine which have received 192.168.2.3 as DNS
server by the DHCP, in 192.0.0.14 there is no configuration pointing
to this so I tried to find that machine.
It looks like a Linux 2.4 box which had 80 open with HTTP
authentication (default admin/admin but changed) and DHCP open which
only delivers DNS (overwrites 192.0.0.14, it always reply after it).
Since switches are "smart" (not that smart indeed) I have no
configuration interface where I could create a VLAN and/or block that
MAC. Because it is a broadcast I cannot block it on the firewall
(since it doesn't pass through it) what can I do to both know which
machine is it (a smart and humanized machine) and block it?

Thanks.

I was kind of wondering how the "age of sail" got its goal posts moved to 1750, doing away with the first endeavours to get to the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, North and South America, India and China out of the data set reframes it has "1750 to 1855 in heavy boating". Either way, through the youtube channel it really is instructive to look at all the british corsairs almost randomly sailing for loot in the furthest of places.
