Show HN: Vertical Spacing Between Upvote and Downvote
If you don't like the fact that the upvote and downvote buttons are really close together (and have actually accidentally clicked downvote instead of up or vise versa) this simple css hack will let you have an extra 10px margin between the two buttons.

img[src="http://ycombinator.com/images/graydown.gif"]{margin-top:10px;}

The code is located as a css file at:

http://cssfiler.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/hn.css or
https://cssfiler.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/hn.css if you're using secure HN.

You can test the css by making a bookmark on your browser and putting this as the link:

javascript:(function(){var s=document.createElement('link'); s.rel='stylesheet';s.type='text/css';s.href='http://cssfiler.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/hn.css'; document.body.appendChild(s);})();

It would be really cool if someone could make an extension that just loads this css. Sorry, I really don't have the time right now. But maybe, one of you could do it.
what makes you think places outside of California are teaching kids the opposite?
I'd say this is a good project to get funding via kickstarter.com. Have you checked it out?

It will be risky for the funders, but the risk is small compared to potential benefits for each individual. Several much less useful projects garnered higher funding than the amount you mentioned.
We believe the idea is niche but will solve a common problem.

We will check out search terms but feel we need more of a demo to prove the concept and our assumptions.
Not OP, but however much I have already paid is the amount I've parted with a domain or two before.

Edit: For example: 2 years @ $10/yr so I sell it for $20.
True, but is building the wrong product not a waste of time?
I can imagine this going over well with people that want to eat meat, but don't really want to kill animals. I could see them paying twice as much for a steak produced this way.

Then, as it becomes cheaper and cheaper, it will become the norm for meat. Eventually "real" meat from animals will be the the luxury item.
i am actually reading flatland and one,two,three,infinity to my son these days. slow, but pretty interesting reading...
I am sure there is room for innovation in IT space. I think it's an area that needs change and if you think that you can do something special in this area, that's great. Go for it.

However, I think 2 things will be a big challenge to you, if you get into this area.

1. Differentiation. How are you going to differentiate yourself from dozens of other IT firms in your area?

2. Are you ready to face up against work with possibly low profit margin? The profit IT firms make is pretty low already.
All helpful tools. However how do we use them to test/validate idea?
That was what jumped out at me as well - I could only think about the $100K that was going into GoDaddy's bank account. ALL the dozens of domains I've moved (and continue to move, sometimes one by one) hardly make a dent when compared to these bulk folks that still use GD. Oh, well, death by a thousand (hundred thousand) blows...
Go-daddy is probably a loss leader when it comes to domains. They just use domain sales to try and upsell you to other things.

If you're only buying bulk domains from them, you're not really supporting their business very much.

Your points in this comment are basically, "I didn't think it was rude so it's not rude" and "I was right so I have the right to be rude."

If you really think those things, I don't really know what to tell you to help you understand what rudeness is.

Ask HN:  A Site where you can show tourists your city and vice-versa

The majority of that $100K doesn't go to GoDaddy. I believe the current cost of a .com from verisign is $7.21 + $0.19 ICANN fee, then transactions fees etc... godaddy probably takes home about $0.50 per domain, so they made maybe $5k off this guy.
Easily worked around: set up MX records and claim the domain is for email. Website not required

I come from a background of the lower-class/near poverty area (lived and grew up in the ghetto). For most of the folks I had helped out previously in the past, it was simply being able to get by day by day. Majority of people I know are just like me, making ends meet monthly.

I mean, what's the current state of IT? Massive storage competitors? Massive tech support companies? PM companies by the masses? Not to mention these companies (doesn't matter what field of IT it is), they undercut or de-inflat the GDP value of IT alone.

1. I have a few ideas I want to try out. People and companies seem to really enjoy the "face" value of being able to interact with their IT guru in person.

2. I think this goes with any other field people get into. Low profit margins are always expected since the initial investment is to literally break even first then make gain in profits.

Please keep 'em coming!
Those who in that position still want a bigger house, more food, a yacht, expensive sports car and a harem; they're still in survival mode _after already having survived_ past any meaningful definition of survival.

I don't know that I agree with you at all on this.

I don't think a healthy person ("abundance mentality") can ever have too much of whatever it is they value. That's not to say that you're not happy with what you have or always unsatisfied. Only that you're always seeking to expand your "life," whatever that means to you. To make your life abundant. For many healthy people, that might include yachts, cars, more travel, more pursuit of hobbies, growing their business, improving their love life (for this, having a harem is probably not a great strategy), improving the world's political situation, expanding knowledge, etc.

I think the viewpoint you're advocating really just reduces to giving up on values, i.e., asceticism.
I fit that storyline background perfectly. With one major exception, I got a job into finance risk management from campus, because my major was in Statistics. (Though after 8 years of experienced, I learned that statistics is not really used in such jobs - anything more than regression is not understood well (even regression in some cases), and 'intuitive' non-statistical solutions are always sure to be better received and sold despite offering far subpar solutions - but I digress.)

I recently got a call from Google for my rank in Code Jam. I explained my position and expressed my desire to work on programming. The HR, a very nice person, made it all but definite that because of my background and experience, I should look for a risk analysis role and not coding. He is still willing to set up a programming interview if I insist... but I don't know what to do :(

Reasons why you don't need to be a millionaire in Europe (vs being a millionaire in the US):

-- Guaranteed healthcare
-- A sane amount of mandated vacation/family leave time
-- A safety net for being unemployed/retired

More basic needs are met in EU than in the US, so money has a much lower "value" there than it does here in the US.
I liked the theory that someday a recruiter would ask DHH how many years of Rails experience he has, and he should answer "all of them".
This is how "starving" will be solved in the future, with much cheaper lab-brown (replicator-grown?) food.

Of course for the first 2 decades or so it will still be in "beta" mode, and I wouldn't really want to be one of the early adopters. Hopefully regulators will monitor the whole situation and force them to put labels on it that clearly separates it from normal meat.

I'm glad you like Mixpanel! This is certainly something we've considered, but (at least for us) the usage-based api makes the most sense. Unfortunately you can't avoid this kind of thing once you go the usage-based path, but it hasn't been an issue in practice.

We've never had a malicious user manipulate someone's data (and it would be pretty obvious if they did). If it did happen, we wouldn't charge them for it.

I'm using Google Apps and the "high contrast" theme is missing from the list.
There's an old Chinese idiom that says "事到万难须放胆，宜于两可莫粗心" which roughly translates to "A difficult decision for an important matter requires bold action, but it's worth it to consider carefully and deliberately when the two options are equally viable."

So for a difficult situation like that I think it's always right to be steadfast and follow the heart.
I can't find anywhere that details if this hack was done with permission from the various occupants of the building. If they had to break in to every office on that side of the building to install the equipment the hack becomes even more impressive.

This has actually been the same situation with patents. There are so many vague patents given to companies already, that if everyone who has a patent actually started enforcing them at once, the entire tech industry could collapse within months.

The only reason this hasn't happened is because most companies are not that "evil" to actually try to use vague patents against other companies, and they just want to own them for defensive purposes (which wasn't the goal of patents at all). But this shows just how screwed up the law is, and that if all companies would want to collect their "rights" the system would collapse. Instead, right now there are only a few who do it, and it's very profitable for them because nobody is really challenging them on this.
Funny article. Shittiest Fermi calculation I ever saw, though.

I'm very surprised (and pleased!) to see my favorite YA author, John Bellairs, show up on here, although I am a little questioning of The Lord of the Rings for kids under 10 - it's been a long, long time since I read them, but I wonder if someone that young would be able to keep track of the different characters' journeys.

Electric air taxis would be great for commuters. You would have to streamline check-in and security though. People will ditch their cars for a faster trip time.

Consider this scenario for a 20 mile commute:
1) Bike or walk one mile to local air strip ( a converted road)
2) 18 mile electric flight to destination town.
3) Bike or walk one mile to office from landing strip.

Takeoff and landing must be silent and fast. See http://electrictakeoff.com for an example.

Kids are often smarter than you give them credit for, especially if they are engaged in the subject matter. Kids which are obsessing over something have remarkable retentive abilities.
palish, if you have enough knowledge and are willing to invest the time given ~$1M, seriously make a kickstarter project. If this is actually both possible and doable like you say (I don't know anything about oncology), assuming it's practical enough for everyone to wear and doesn't have harmful side effects, this has got to be just about the biggest contribution to humanity that you have the power to make. (I imagine it would also be rather lucrative.) You have my word that I'd advertise the kickstarter project at the very least by word of mouth, and I'm sure many others would do the same.
Time to Cut Back on Apple?
The problem is that supporting enough of the PC hardware to build a graphical system from the ground up is a many hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of lines of code commitment. It takes many many bug reports over several years to stabilize something like that.

You could perhaps do something on a newer, simpler, and well-designed and documented architecture (say an ARM dev board with a network interface to an X/NX/VNC/browser interface). But even Google continues develops Android on top of Linux for a reason.
What about it, exactly, is unethical? What about the action, if the store owner is fine with it, makes it intrinsically wrong?
I would pay twice as much for artificial meat that doesn't involve killing an animal, in a heartbeat. Being responsible for the deaths (often in abhorrent circumstances) of so many living creatures is simply difficult to swallow (pun ftw!). That said, there's a big if:

I would pay twice as much in a heartbeat, so long as the artificial meat tasted indistinguishable or close enough to the real thing. That means texture, juiciness, taste, consistency, etc.

I wouldn't pay anything for, for example, quorn.

I'm a meat-eater despite disliking killing so many animals because I love the taste of meat more than I dislike the killing.
Thanks for that info. I usually offer a little more than that, but have never been successful.
I don't expect to ever see safe public transportation in the USA in my lifetime. Our culture sucks. Japan works partly because like many other cultures in that area it's a community comes before the individual culture.

We've put up with crime for so long in the USA we've forgotten places actually exist without most of it. We've gotten so used to it we think it's normal to "avoid dark alleys" to "pull out your car stereo and don't leave anything visible, even a jacket or risk getting your car broken into" to "don't go to those parts of town"

None of those apply to certain countries.

now watch the defensive replies :(
>> "Big, gaping garages"? "WalMarts, Targets, and mega-malls don’t even bother catering for the pedestrian shopper"

The problem is not the car, its city planning.

Don't make the roads wider and wider, build good and fast bike paths.

Have the train station in the city center where all the shops and malls are.

Build supermarkets and workplaces close to where people live. Suburbs far away from everything are bad in many ways.

There are many more things that could be improved, if city plaing wasn't run by the car lobby.

IBNIZ - an audiovisual virtual machine and an esoteric programming language
It's worth it. A great aunt bought me the Hobbit when I was around five, and I immediately took to the whole Lord of the Rings series, Silmarillion, etc. By 10 I'd read every Tolkien book I had ever heard of, including ones by his son that I didn't even realize. My best friend to this day was just as freakish, and it turns out not only was it pretty much what taught us how to read, but we kept track of many of the characters and stories the same way– by drawing all of it. Personally, without them I don't know if I would have appreciated books, period. Some kids will go to great lengths to match with the things they're given, so there's certainly no harm in gifting a copy of at least the Hobbit and testing whether or not they'll really enjoy it.
Given that Valve apparently makes >6 mill in revenue per employee yearly, I sincerely doubt that anyone they choose to hire is going into the red from normal living expenses.
The algorithms themselves are almost unaware of a path, they simply visit nodes, check their neighbours, then continue with another node from the queue. Breadth First Search simply does this in a predictable order, but of course it isn't prioritising nodes closest to the goal; that's where the other three come in. Every node has a path cost, how many moves it took to make it to the node. You can also define a distance heuristic, that calculates geometric distance to the goal as a strict underestimate. All these algorithms simply exit when the goal node is reached, and a path has been created by the algorithm.

Dijkstra, or also known as Uniform Cost Search, will pick nodes with the lowest path cost from the queue first. This works well on graphs, but not so well on open spaces. It should be mentioned that this algorithm is complete, and optimal. That is, it will find a path if one exists, and it will find the path of lowest path cost (note there may be many such paths of equal path cost).

Then we have A, which is also complete and optimal. This uses the sum of path cost and distance heuristic. This means it will nodes closer to the goal, but long-windy paths will confuse it.

Finally we have Best First Search. It should be mentioned this is actually a family, of which Dijkstra and A are members. In this program, it only considers distance heuristic. So nodes that are geometrically closer to the goal are evaluated first. It should be mentioned that it isn't optimal - it might not find the path of lowest cost. If the optimal path requires at first winds away form the goal, these nodes aren't considered until later, or maybe never.
