Previous submission & discussion is at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2075111 , but as it was about 500 days ago and many, many things have changes since then, I thought re-submitting this wiki (by changing 'https' to 'http') would be OK and hopefully illuminating to some.

I'm particularly eager to learn how IcedCoffeeScript has changes since then. I'm starting a rather big CoffeeScript/Node.js project and I can't decide whether to go with IcedCoffeeScript (I love its simplicity), or go the 'async.js' way... If anyone has used both Iced and async, I'd be more than thankful if they could share their experience (I Would've asked this question on StackOverflow, but I'm sure it'll be closed within 5 minutes as not a real question or something like that).
Even if I bought from a store it's not expected, and because I always look for the opt-out checkboxes, anything unexpected goes to the spam bin.

Given that knighthoods are usually handed out based on merit I think that's pretty much the opposite of the UK class system (which is not based primarily on wealth and therefore doesn't have an implicit link to merit).

Even your age, sex and country is very useful to advertisers - an ad targeted at those is worth about 50x the price of one sent to a random internet user (or it was when I last worked in that industry). Facebook knows where you went to college, what your favourite movies are, and perhaps most importantly of all, who your friends are. That's huge.

It's pretty easy to be on the outside and say, "Oh, boo-hoo, they're still millionaires", but it's a different story when it's your own wealth. I assure you I could find people around the world who would say the same about your earnings.

Anyway, the point was that the stock diving isn't victimless. There are real people losing real wealth.

Inside The Brain of a CEO
It makes perfect sense to me. Let's try the switcheroo again:

It is fairly obvious that corporations are self-centered organizations that aim only at benefiting themselves at the expense of the rest of society, as demonstrated by the post you made a parody of.

It is far less obvious to make a similar kind of statement about unions. Unions thrive mostly by satisfying customers/consumers/users/wider needs in society. When they stop doing so, they perish and disappear or shrink in a significant way. There are indeed very wrong things about union's links with Politicians (clear conflict of interests), patents abuse, etc... but as a whole, unions are enablers of innovation and progress in society.

Pretty much works.

Mac OS X: Handy Terminal Dock Tweaks
I don't generally disagree with what you said, and I'm largely just taking an opportunity to go on a rant.

I have to ask -- is the stock market system really "the least worst option we have"? From an interpretation of "have" being "that is implemented and running", sure, but that's just tautological. It seems easy to conjure up systems where speculation isn't rewarded like this[1]. It just tends to mean no more instant-million or billionaires made out of people who run profitable businesses.

Recall that investment was initially about sharing profit in exchange for the funds to grow a business. Part-ownership. But we made those ownable pieces sellable, and people became able to make more money by selling little pieces of companies than by holding onto them and realizing profit; the system has evolved to grease those wheels.

If we were collectively prepared to be a little less greedy and insane, the majority of this risk would go away. We don't have to trade speculatively on future expectations of the value of the ability to sell the right to take part in a company's profits. The world could exist without stock markets, and it just means that a lot of smart people might be working on real problems instead of shuffling money. That world would look very similar to ours, except that absurd fortunes may not be come by so easily.

[1] Quick ideas: Stock ownership is non-transferable, or Stock-ownership is limited-term, or Stock ownership is limited yield, or Stock ownership is transferable after a fixed period. These could favour the rich and those with knowledge of the system, so perhaps provisions about sales would be required, "X% made available for individual buyers of less than Y value" or something. Pretty much any system which removes the notion of a real time market based entirely around selling a company's stock seems to fix the problem. It appears to me that there are a myriad less worse systems, judged by the metric of how many people are injured by the system, and how badly.

Josh,
Thanks for checking out the TuneBridge! You have two options to connect to the TuneBridge with your iOS device:

1. Existing Network: You can configure the TuneBridge to connect to your existing home wifi network. This allows any iOS device, Mac, or PC connected to your home network to stream to the TuneBridge.

2. Direct: You can also connect directly to the TuneBridge. The TuneBridge will create an ad-hoc network that your device can connect to. This network is configured in a way that allows iOS devices to continue using their 3G data for the internet connection.

If you have any other questions, just let me know!

What you have is the usual business marketing problem.

How do I find people that need my product?

The answer is simple.

You can market at large and use big media advertising (TV, Radio, Newspaper, Magazines, Adwords).

Or you can contact people that seem to fit your standard customer description directly through email or snail mail.

Of the two options, the one that works best is the second one. Selling directly to people costs less money, is measurable by how many direct sales were done as a result, allows you to build a personal relationship with the customer, and is easier to do. Plus you can do it yourself.

How you approach this depends on what your company does.

Also, monitoring Twitter like this is just a waste of time. You will be seen as a spammer. Twitter is a social network. People go there to socialize. Think of it as if you went into a party and started pitching people your products. Not a good idea.
The best you can do in twitter is to try and create a following by posting things that interest them. Then, if by chance, they need something like your product, they might get in contact with you.
Twitter puts the power on the prospects and not on the marketer. This is why it is a waste of time.

Shoot me an email (is in my profile). I may be able to steer you in the right direction.
Ah good point. Indeed much of what the government does could be accomplished by private groups.

So why should the government get involved? Let's look at the case of school meals. Many parents want them but it's not provided by the state school, so parents will team up to make it happen privately. This means negotiating with the school for access to a building on the premises, forming a committee to organize the whole thing (so having elections at periodic intervals to appoint the committee), hiring cooks, cleaners, security, etc., setting up a system for collecting money from parents, and finally establishing a process for decisions such as what to put on the menu.

We basically end up with a small task-specific government with its own laws (such as how decisions are made and how people are elected to the committee). So not only is it redundant with other local (e.g. city) governments, it also increases the complexity of everyone's life dramatically, as you have to deal with the public government plus all the private organizations, each with their own quirks.

This is why I view politics as a generic platform for debate on societal issues, and government as a framework for taking and implementing decisions. For this to be efficient it is important to have strong local governments at several levels (e.g. city, state, country) and choose wisely their respective prerogatives, such as city level for school meals, state level for school programs and country level for school certification. That does not mean there is no room for private initiatives, it just illustrates why government involvement could be a good option, sometimes.

As for the Constitution stuff, there's no question that a government should be monitored carefully and have limited powers (e.g. cannot force children to eat school meals), but this is different from saying it cannot offer school meals.

i'm currently in bolivia, and well, lets say, the internet isn't always very fast or reliable. not only is the G+ website unusable (takes ages to load, breaks in between), but also the (right hand side top) widget thingy on search and gmail does not work. it shows (again and again) some red/urgent numbers displaying that something important has happened -> click -> nothings turns up. (and if it for once works, it's not important, just another random person added me to a circle).

fb loads fast, works perfectly - and after i resized my pictures to 480 to 360 i can even upload them.

my personal opinion is, that any website/app that implements it's scrollbars via JS has to much JS.

anyone placing a limit order should know that they might get a vastly different price than the one they expected

If you place a limit order at (e.g.) $100, your order should be filled at or below $100 - no exceptions. The order will stay around until it is either filled, manually cancelled, or expires (at end of day or at a prescribed time).

A market order can be filled at an arbitrary price because you are communicating that you are willing to cross the bid-ask spread and meet the market price, even if it's moving rapidly.
The persentation's design looks nice and clean to me. However, the icon looks kind of dull. I can't see it reaching out to me or many others as an entity isolated from its context, nothing urges me to click on it to find out more if I were to notice it while on a smartphone.

I think the logo has too much useless eye candy going on. You could allocate the resources of attention that are now going to multiple gradients to something which would tell more about its actual function. Something to indicate the fact that its you and your phone within the circle, etc.

That might spark an inkling of interest in more people: In the middle of what circle? What does the circle indicate then? Could me having this circle around be a viable thing?

Also, the checks and crosses beside the icons are a bit messed up logically. Why does 'Blue is a cool color of the sky, ocean, sleep' have a cross next to it?

The references to personal opinions feel out of place in the list, although in general I can see the value in making the product's creators closer to the reader, it's just not the right place for that in my opinion. The persnal preferences surely consist of a logic that you can put your finger on. Add more actual points there instead, that would be much more informative to everyone.
Ask HN: How often do you use a debugger?
I wanted to know if the HN community uses a debugger during development.

I have this feeling that developers who create native apps use it a lot. But web developers don't, from what I see, most of web dev use print/echos/var_dumps and so on.

Why aren't we all using debuggers ?

Knighthoods derive from Royalty and as such I'm categorically against them.

I'll never be offered one but if that were the case I'd refuse on the grounds that by accepting I would implicitly recognize the fact that there are more than one kinds of people.

But good for Jonathan Ive that his contributions are recognized, too many people like that never get any recognition at all so from that point of view this is positive.

One thing I forgot to mention about async.js: It's downright disgusting when you try to use it with CoffeeScript, so even though it's a mature, well-architectured piece of framework, I don't like to use it with CoffeeScript...
I use one about every other day and find it indispensable. We use Play! so compilation/deployment isn't an issue, but I still find the feedback loop between "I want to know the state of this variable", "I'll write a logging statement here" and "I'll reproduce the state I was in with the app" to be too long.

The only time I don't use one is when I need to debug an issue that occurs only on a remote server (our sysadmins don't like opening ports for that sort of thing).

%s inserts the "subject", not the entire commit message. The subject is considered to be the first line of the commit message (I forget if there is a character limit), so a newline would simply be considered the delimiter (and would not appear in the output).

"What I'd really like is a single online notification service..."

Everything you say about this sounds exactly like hosted email to me. How is it different?

While the lower orders of knights are generally given out on merit the higher orders are not. At least as far as I'm concerned.

The UK Class System is inherently based on a pecking order and the top of the pecking chain is kept for those who are more anointed than useful.

Take a look at this list. It is two orders higher than most Knights (and therefore two orders more special). Are they two orders more deserving?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Victorian_Order
I'm not sure what protesting the historical origins of the knighthood really achieves.

These days they're awarded by the democratically elected government and the royal family's role in it is purely ceremonial. Whichever member of the royal family carries out the ceremony is basically a paid actor on behalf of that state in this context.
