Hi

Thanks for your comment.

It's currently a work in progress, and yes you will know when repos.io will handle more providers like bitbucket and others.

About the design, i'm not a designer at all so if you have ideas :) Can you be more precise about font-sizes and line-heights (and tell me on which browser)

And the logo is not really a logo for now, it's just a character in the font i use...

Cumbersome? I just select the epub in Calibre and press D. It could hardly be easier, in my opinion. Hell, the kindle doesn't even need to be plugged in...
Thanks abki but i told you it was not ready yet :p
You really don’t get it, do you? That’s pretty amazing.

This is about people accidentally pressing keys on the wrong side of the keyboard. It makes sure that those people are not interrupted in their writing, while still presenting a clear image to the user that is not confusing. It’s a line of defense, like the buttons that are actually a bit larger than they are displayed – just in order to make sure that users missing those buttons is less likely.

It’s error correction. The feature is not that there are repeated buttons on the keyboard and users can pick which they want to use. Users are not supposed to use those. They are not supposed to know (or have to know) about them.
I believe Mozilla sometimes "soft launches" auto-updates to a subset of Firefox users to find any new issues before opening the flood gates to update everyone. But, as you point out, manually checking for updates should always find the latest version.
Sorry if my comment came across as suggesting that your argument had an "undertone of sexism". I definitely wasn't trying to say anything of the sort. It was just an analogy that popped into my mind, and I don't think it was a particularly bad analogy.

But I don't think your unwarranted indignation adds anything to the question that I was trying to ask to other HNers. Unfortunately, that question was at the end of my comment, past the point where you stopped reading.

And the font is about 10px and 30%K buried in the bottom corner. I can understand that would be desirable if the algorithm was more accurate in filtering bogus reviews, but that's clearly not the case so it just seems unscrupulous.

IppinKa - Connecting buyers and designers of great products
IppinKa is a online store platform where people crowdbuy products in order to unlock them. Each person who buys a product is considered a backer for that product. In turn, the brand or designer has a chance to reward their backers.

IppinKa also runs a blog called Blog of Great Products (http://blog.ippinka.com), where products - not only those on its store - are featured.

Currently in testing stage and looking for early adopters to help test our platform.

Ask PG/HN: YC Interview on Thursday, Can't Sleep Help
This is not my normal username.

We're interviewing on Thursday. I'm not nervous one bit, just excited. Way too excited. I spent the last 2 nights (after working all day) re-reading all pg's essays.

Now I hear that it's possible I won't even get to meet him (since they are splitting the interviews)! So that adds a gnawing bittersweetness to the excitement, which is no good news.

I have trouble sleeping as it is. Now 2 days to interview, I've got to get a bit of rest or I just don't know what's going to happen.

Help!
A lot of great games have been made on RPG Maker. To The Moon is the most recent example I can think of. You wouldn't say that a program is worth less because it's written in c, a free language anyone can use.

Maybe, but it seems to me that for search (especially with stemming / misspelling coverage) you need a much lower OCR accuracy than for converting into text. Like maybe 95% vs 99.5% - you can have an order of magnitude more errors and search would still work fine.
Couldn't agree more. Although I was born in India (which is not a developed country), I still think that I was lucky to be born into a middle-class college educated family. In India, there are kids who still die of hunger . From a very early age I realized that I could have just as easily been born into one of the many millions of poor families that make up half the country. It was indeed a pretty big stroke of luck

I find the personal dig at the start of your comment unnecessary, but I appreciate that you're engaging me in a discussion about the design aspects.

I'll grant that if you're optimizing for error correction, it's a perfectly suitable solution. I'd even go so far as to say that's exactly what Apple was going for when designing this. Even so, I really think this is a case where showing that this is an option would be valuable. When I see a split keyboard, I assume that I need to press the keys where they're displayed and frequently have to slow down my typing to figure out which side of the keyboard the key is on. It's nice to know I don't have to do that.
Edit: The deleted comment here said "would you admit that you liked the name to your mother or investors?"

Answer: No, because it's crass and lacks decorum. Now explain how it's sexist toward women.

For serious accounts (in the 6 digits/year) absolutely not, unless the attack is large enough to affect other customers.

Admittedly RailsMachine looks very small, in all likelihood their pipe was rather easily clogged and they simply didn't have the choices that larger ISPs have.
I ran it through opensiteexplorer.org and found issues with their backlinks.

97% are followed links. no anchor text diversity in the link profile.

This is my best guess off hand.
Seriously Google?

For a company that uses their own version of Ubuntu internally, makes a killing off their Linux based mobile OS, and is trying to carve a whole new market with their Gentoo Linux based ChromeOS, it's unquestionably sad that Google Drive did not have Linux support out the door.
If you're cynical about Silicon Valley and all the mobile local social apps these days, I suggest spending some time at Lemnos Labs and similar hardware communities.

When I first walked in, I saw a giant machine that makes hamburgers. And an electronic car. And a guitar with an app store. And a from-scratch coffee machine. It's truly amazing and IMO much more substantial than many other startups I know.

For the longest time it seemed as though entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley shied away from hardware startups just because they aren't as leveraged as software startups. I'm glad to see a healthy hardware hacking community emerging in the bay area and hopefully we'll see lots of more hardware startups in the future.
Clearly unencrypted. They dedup, enable OCR searching, transparent online access to office style documents, etc.. These features would not be possible if they encrypted your bytes before being sent over the wire.

You might want to look into Tarsnap. It's more expensive and you don't get the fancy features, but they offer opaque encrypted file handling. Also, there have been a couple niche strong privacy centered providers that have commented in this thread.

I suppose one could create a Truecrypt container and have GDrive sync it in the background. Wonder if Google will ever complain about files they can't process.

The thing that struck me is that there are no one letter commands in UNIX (that I can remember off the top of my head). Not sure if there's any reason for this besides namespace scarcity -- only 26 one-letter commands you can have!

It feels pretty arbitrary, I guess, to decide that Twitter is special enough that it gets to be one of the 26.

> For serious accounts (in the 6 digits/year) absolutely not, unless the attack is large enough to affect other customers.

If it doesn't affect other customers, a hosting company won't act or even be aware, in most cases. They'll just send you a bill for the transfer. If someone attacks you and it impacts other customers, you get nulled. I'm aware of 7 digits/year and 8 digits/year accounts through industry anecdotes that have had machines nulled. The engineer operating the null doesn't say, "oh, that's X, maybe I shouldn't fix the network for my other customers".

I don't understand what you're disagreeing with.

publish an Ebook.

It has less to do with your actual site, but the problem is when people go on a website, they expect what they read to be free.

If you put the same content in an Ebook and work hard at promoting and marketing it, people are generally OK with spending a couple bucks to purchase an eBook. You can also offer a 100% unconditional money back guarantee so that it will lower the initial doubt someone might have.

eBooks are very marketing heavy but they can also be very lucrative in the short-time but especially long-term.

You already have a head start because you do have a story to tell; the rest is just marketing and there is lots of content available on that topic for you to try: http://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=ebo...
It'd be great if we had multiple review sites. Problem is nobody has managed to get as many users to write as detailed of reviews as Yelp has.
Isn't that true every quarter? AAPL always gives very pessimistic guidance.
I've heard of non-delivered projects. So far, I don't know of any big money high profile ones, but I'm sure there will be one sooner or later.

Like the other guy said, you're not investing, you're buying. Or maybe donating.

I don't think there's any recourse for a failed project, and I don't think there should be one. If you're thinking about contributing to a Kickstarter project, understand that there are no guarantees and moderate your contribution accordingly.

I totally understand it's way easier to start from scratch. It's a little disappointing to hear that the Firebug team didn't want to play ball.

It's not a big deal and I can continue to use Firebug, but the UI decisions still baffle me. Safari and Chrome display the HTML (which 90% of the time is what I'm after to begin with anyways) upon inspection with the CSS on the side. Being able to turn these off would be fine by me, but don't make me opt in every single time. Also, having the Console and other browser inspections would really take it to the next level.

Functionality notwithstanding, I really like the look and feel of it.
Where do you draw the line about where you believe people shouldn't raise funds? Are they allowed to use a toolkit like RPG Maker or GameMaker? Are they allowed to use game engines?

The point of making successful games isn't about doing everything from scratch, it's about making something that people want to play.

Even with the OP if (perhaps because of head trauma) people feel they want to play the Ron Paul platformer, they should be free to throw money at it. If the project delivers what it promised and it's not actually infringing on others work, then where's the problem?

I like almost all of these rules; however (as others have said), that "Omit optional tags" section is pretty risky to use in any serious project. I can see where Google wants to go with this recommendation, but I think that it will take a while for the majority of the web to get accustomed to this convention.
Apple always low-balls their guidance and it is always well below most analyst estimates, so nothing to go on there.

Even their "bad" quarter Q4 2011 had a guidance of $25 billion and $5.50 earnings per share with actual numbers of $28.27 billion and $7.03 a share (which was up from $20.34 billion and $4.64 per share in Q4 2010).

Probably a side effect of the increasing share of iPod touch vs other lower-margin/price models.
The great part (or the problem) is that it depends on the parents. And on the kids.

I was homeschooled for a bit, but it got to be too much for my mother (there were six of us kids at the time), so we went to public school. I needed the socialization. Even though I spent the majority of my time in public schools, I still didn't get that part quite right.

My kid brother (7 of 8) was home schooled later in life. Highly social. Smart too. But because his secondary education was primarily influenced by our mother, he's academically weak in the same subject she is. ... particularly math and science. The six oldest of us disagreed with their decision to home school through high school (we'd all been h/s-ed at some point in elementary and gone to a public high school).

Bottom line is, it depends. It may be the right decision for some.

Unfortunately, we often encounter too many examples of those that it wasn't the best solution for their circumstances. The ones who get it right often don't advertise their origin, be they "normal" or "brilliant." So, societally, we're left with a negative bias.

Not all user generated content is the same. Some of it attracts more attention, some of it less. The site operators have a great deal of influence in determining what shows up. You could use HN as a pastie if you wanted. But I imagine if it started causing trouble, pg would enact measures to discourage such use.

I admire the people willing to fight the good fight, but it doesn't seem like the guy running pastie.org has any skin in the game. It's easy to decide you're going to run a laissez faire type site when you don't pay the bills.
I just played around with this in the emulator for a bit and I discovered that the feature has some subtle nuances. Clicking on the same pixel can produce either the visible letter or the invisible letter. From what I've been able to ascertain, within a certain range of the visible key it favors the visible key if you're typing the first letter of a word, and favors the invisible key otherwise.

First: the market is actually not disappointed. If that were the case, the stock would not be up substantially by real people spending money to buy the stock on the basis of this news. The market likes this news, the (clueless) writers at media outlets were disappointed.

Your analogy also misses on a number of levels. But to make it crystal clear, I'll correct it. Today's results are like buying an economy car in a price band where similarly priced cars can reach 60 MPH and finding out that yours goes 800 MPH and being disappointed. For a share of AAPL is priced more like a Kia than a Ferrari relative to its growth.

To clarify: the stock is not expensive by any classical valuation metric. The stock is trading at a multiple of < 16, which is lower than companies in much slower-growing businesses. For example: McDonald's (18), Procter & Gamble (20), Coke (20). In fact, the Dow Jones index of utility stocks trades at a higher earnings multiple. And now there's a dividend in case 100% EPS growth isn't enough for an investor. So unless your idea of an expensive high-flying stock is a stodgy utility, AAPL is absolutely not priced for wild growth and profitability.

I'm disagreeing with your black/white record.

There's a bit of middle ground between "sending a bill" and nulling.

Don't know about this project, but the problem with kickstarter is that once you back a project is no longer your money, and there's nothing you can do about it.

This "give money and something MAY happen, eventually" model is going to collapse on itself.
