To me both Movies.io and torrentbuttler address the "torrent newbie" market, as people who already know how to use torrents, can use TPB or other similar sites just fine.

But right now I'd probably have to recommend both of the sites to newbies, one for searching and one for discovery. But I'm sure you'll have a lot of success just keeping it simple the way it is, too. It may actually be the main reason why it got so popular right now. So don't fix what isn't broken I guess.

But since I think this is more for newbies, you better make sure there are no fakes in those 5 listings, either through a technical solution or by allowing others to make comments on the page, or at least use ratings for the torrent's quality or something (but make sure they understand it's not about the quality of the movie).
Exactly! Even now I'm annoyed that I have to type on my iPhone keyboard when I'm sitting at my computer and someone sends me a text. Would infinitely prefer that when I'm in proximity of my computer and logged in that the phone functionality was available in the computer's OS and on screen.

And then being able to get up and carry what I was doing on my computer wherever I go would be the next step.
Properly not. On the other hand, if you want to start that project today C is what you have.
They are various ways to solve the problem but again it is not in Yelp's interest. Yelp's business is about selling Ad and they don't really care about the underlying issues.
One simple thing that could be added to their system was a way to verify that a reviewer did really have a business relation for posting a reviews. They are various ways for solving that.

Even a simpler approach: why hide those reviews. Keep them here and introduce a way for other viewer to rate the reviews aka 'X people found that review helpful'. That way all reviews are visible and the random person reading the Yelp page can decide for themselves.
Unfortunately Yelp and their filtering system have a different approach and instead usually end up filtering real customer reviews and leave the more 'spammy' visible. Then after a few weeks like that, you will receive a phone call from Yelp sales folks telling you that if you purchase 'ads' then your potential 5 stars review (if any are left visible) will be pushed to the top.

Sorry but for me I consider that a scam!
It seems wonderful compared to Brazil, where $599 is "converted" to R$1.549,00 ($766), even if there is a Foxconn factory here now. It makes no sense at all.
(1) is definitely a factor. It takes a very large amount of energy to boil water.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desalination#Methods

> Reverse osmosis plant membrane systems typically use less energy than thermal distillation, which has led to a reduction in overall desalination costs over the past decade.

But the wikipedia article says that 85% of desalination worldwide still uses distillation.
A stronger union is the only way forward, for sure. One of the problems is that every national government in the EU found (and finds) it so convenient to blame the EU for every problem - and attribute every success to themselves - that right now public opinions aren't generally favorable to this route.

Not sure why you care about people or states in an AI article. They were just examples of the technique being discussed being put to use in a system. Seems like a complete article to me. Here is the technique that can be used in AI and here are some examples of how it works in other systems.
Not mentioned is if they tried to talk to their neighbour.

Was the neighbor who had control of the unit as a tenant on the lease home when the room was rented out? I don't think so. The article opens with these paragraphs:

"First came the noisy upstairs neighbors who said they were just "renting the place for a couple of nights" but refused to tone it down. Then came the people who would try to open the front door of the Castro/Duboce Triangle apartment where Barnaby Thieme and Rebecca Reagan live, saying they thought it led to the lobby.

"The couple looked online and discovered what was behind the disruptions - a unit in their building was being rented out through Airbnb, the marketplace for short-term housing in private residences."

I read that as saying that the couple who were disturbed by Airbnb visitors DID talk to those visitors, only to find out that they weren't actual tenants of the building. The person putting the unit up for short-term stays on Airbnb doesn't seem to have been available.

AFTER EDIT: A top-level comment that came in since I posted this makes an interesting point:

I admire the optimism that youth brings, allowing someone to look at a problem with a fresh perspective but all too often, the rules, laws and regulations in place that make the old way of doing business so boring and hard are actually in place for a very good reason.

This is usually how the law (and business custom) develops, by encountering actual human behavior. As Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. wrote, "The life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience." The Common Law (1881), p. 1.
>not releasing the source is evil

I believe it's a cultural necessity given how we make money as software developers. Hardware developers have a buffer in terms of actual production, which requires significant investment. You can reverse engineer any hardware you have in your hands but it's unlikely given 2012 technology that you can mass-produce it and steal revenue from the copied source (patents notwithstanding). I can't imagine a global business environment environment in which open source software is the norm, but I would really to hear some theories - can you imagine how wonderful it would be to be able to explore the source code of say, SpaceX?
Linked Data, Free Pictures and Markets For Semantic Data
We had this all before. When we had the Deutsche Mark, the German industry was as successful in exports as it is now.

One of the main problems of that time was changing currency values. The problem was not that the Deutsche Mark was high or low valued, it was more like the change was a problem. That made it difficult for companies to export. Large exporters were insuring themselves against currency value changes.

Basically a high valued currency made it cheap to import goods, energy and materials. A low valued currency makes these imports expensive. For example Germany imports most of its primary energy sources like oil. Devalue the currency makes the oil, gas and coal imports more expensive.

That the German industry depends or profits on a low-value currency is a myth. The Deutsche Mark was never low-value - just the opposite. Still exports were similar like they are today. The German exports will adapt.

The nice thing of the Euro is that the largest market for Germany is right around it and much of it is traded in Euros. This makes trading on variable currency values obsolete. This is the big win for German companies: it makes trading much easier and much less costly.

My understanding is that it's all about efficiency. The impurities I don't think is too much of a problem (think about distilled water, they make that with evaporation), but filtering is much easier to scale. You can increase pressure, increase the number of filters, etc. to get it all to happen at a faster rate. combined with the fact that you don't lose any water from it and you can probably do very very well there.
Visitor Inertia
The countries in the south of europe have not done that

Except that they have. Machine tools is one of Italy's major industries.
Not mentioned is whether the person who owns the subletted apartment is, in fact, their actual neighbour (as opposed to someone who lives somewhere else yet still owns the property and rents it via Airbnb).
Did LinkedIn’s Lack of a CISO Lead to Breach?
It did try to regulate building, but there was too much money coming in from abroad as loans. It couldn't stopped its inflow because it is against EU treaties.

This post repeats a very weak argument over and over: RMS uses messianic language which alienates potential allies. Ok. But do you think strict adherence to the principles of the FSF are good? This piece doesn't even address the core issues of RMS's position, and just accuses him of phrasing his point poorly.
I understand that The Fancy has quite the semantic database under the hood.

It doesn't get talked about much, but Facebook's Open Graph makes Facebook a leader in the semantic space, and consolidating that gain, plus extending social photo sharing, makes a lot of sense for FB.
Yes, in my experience I have seen reviews from regular Yelp folks (aka posting maybe a review once or twice a month) see their 5 stars review vanish in less than 48 hours... While at the same time a person posting a 1 star review without any other review posted prior and even after stick forever.

This is a classic 'Yelp' business practice and many business owners you can talk to will have many of such reports.
I assume there isn't a technical reason for Apple to take the store down every time they launch a big new project, do they just do it for dramatic effect?
I clicked on this thinking it would be really dumb but I was surprised. It seems fun!
I couldn't get it to reproduce on a VM (VirtualBox) either. I'm wondering if the SSE-optimized version of the glibc doesn't work the same way in a VM as it does on host hardware (i.e. SSE instructions are virtualized to some degree). Since the hardware doesn't support it, the library falls back to a version that won't trigger the bug.

(Again, this is just an unconfirmed theory.)
I see where you're coming from. I agree it definitely depends on how much moves to the cloud, could something like this have the potential to affect that? If pulled off correctly, I'd think so. I'm not convinced the cloud is the place for everything.

In terms of phone... bluetooth headset paired to docking station!

Yea losing the phone comes at quite a price, I agree. Personally, I'd pay for it.

C'mon, you can't pretend this thing wouldn't be bad ass if it was pulled off properly.
Yea, that plus the thing has already been resolved, the apps are back on
"We used Airbnb happily in Europe last summer," said Thieme. "I want to extend them the benefit of the doubt that they are still evolving their business model and have had explosive growth, but they need to evolve appropriate mechanisms of monitoring and control. They should deal with zoning laws and tax laws more aggressively and realistically, or they will antagonize people."

tl;dr: "We like Airbnb when others are potentially inconvenienced to our benefit, but not the other way around."
I'm excited - Learn Python the Hard Way completely jumpstarted me into what has become a large internal django site, and I refer back to it often. I really enjoy python, and I thank Zed for the straightforward aproach.

So even though I love python I want to see if the same technique can introduce me again to C, a language I never felt comfortable with.
That's not true - the power of Murdoch and Goldman Sachs has been curtailed quite a lot.
Me too at first, but that's because the link goes to a 3rd party blogger, not the actual program being offered.
This whole Megaupload case leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

On the one hand, do I think Megaupload's founders were happy to turn a blind eye to piracy? Probably. They may have even encouraged it. Given the current (stupid) laws there is certainly a case to be made by the government. Still, the case is far from clearcut [1].

That being said, the remedy sought by and received by the government is disproportionate to the alleged offense.

One problem is that the DoJ injunction to both shutdown the service and maintain the data is costing Megaupload and/or the ISP $9000/day to keep 25PB of data around [2]. How much of that data was infringing exactly?

This is the part that leaves a bad taste in my mouth: the DoJ's remedy is essentially punitive to the parties involved (for what is still an alleged infringement) to the point that they simply want to bankrupt alleged offenders. Whatever happened to due process?

All of this leads me to two conclusions:

1. The Obama administration's track record on intellectual property is horrendous, from staffing the DoJ with RIAA/MPAA stooges [3] to secretly negotiating international treaties that treat copyright infringement with similar severity as counterfeiting or terrorism [4] (the original ACTA; not the one signed this year). This I think is so bad I think the administration needs to go (not that I think the alternative is much better); and

2. The US government is reinforcing the view that if you want to store data in the cloud and you want it to remain there, store it outside of the US.

Saying facebook has 900 million users is like saying no one on earth ever dies. If we required 30% of every one who ever live to vote, we'd never get anything done.
The irony is that right now the US and UK are really realizing how risky it would be for them a dissolution of the Euro, and I think that they're really rooting for it. But it's difficult to let old habits go.
I would have to guess that they would fail in pretty much language unless you provided a clean file. Parsing simple text never, ever is.
Right or wrong, this site looks like it exists to facilitate illegal movie sharing -- it's just a matter of time before the takedown notice comes.

It's too bad because it's such a pretty site. It could use a better knowledge base (ranking and relevance are so-so) but it's really pretty good.
And its had to print far less after it announced that there was a target than before. But if the Euro loses too much value the Swiss central bank probably won't want to follow it down, so being able to maintain a peg won't actually help them in that case.
The point is that they didn't have a neighbor. They had an absentee property owner and a string of short-term tenants.
Better than Box2D..? (C++, various ports)
I'm sorry for being cynical, but getting a million pageviews as a piracy site with a fancy interface is not really spectacular. You're giving away content that is normally sold -- of course people are going to use it.

Not really impressed.
Must be dramatic effect.
No, I believe most of the reviews were from first (or second) time yelpers. I can understand where they're coming from on a macro scale, but at the individual business level, it can be irritating.

..DID talk to those visitors..

They need to talk to the person the visitors are renting from. Is that doesn't work, they can go one level higher up.
Publishing on the user stream is, afaik, an extended permission. Facebook asks (for Timeline users) if you want to give the application these supplementary permissions, and you can disable these one by one. But the application will ask for these permissions every time you use it.

The important part is using it, not specs. My Lumia 900 scrolls faster than my Galaxy Nexus, and I don't even really care why. But, it's still a better experience for scrolling through a list of items, even if the specs on paper are technically less powerful.
For an industry so focused on disrupting ...everything. Things start to get real hard, boring and normal when met with success and exposure to the public. I admire the optimism that youth brings, allowing someone to look at a problem with a fresh perspective but all too often, the rules, laws and regulations in place that make the old way of doing business so boring and hard are actually in place for a very good reason.

Support line dealing with complaints from neighbors? How messy and resource intensive.

Meeting with local community leaders and the public to discuss the issues surrounding their service? That doesn't scale very well and is again ... messy, boring and hard.

The overwhelming majority of those inconvenienced by abusive Airbnb listings have never previously heard of the site. It's unhelpful to single out a single person who had used Airbnb as a way of warding off criticisms of Airbnb abuse.
Have you read much of his writing style, or any of his disputes with others? They seem to always end up in hyperbolic, very personal polemics, like this one. Look up his encounters over the years with Bruce Perens, or RMS several times, or anyone ESR considers a "left-liberal". Also, climate scientists are malevolent frauds, in his view, Barack Obama is the worst president and anyone who can't see that is intellectually dishonest, etc., etc.

Honestly I suspect his distaste for Stallman has more to do with general politics than free-software politics in particular; ESR is an anarcho-capitalist and Stallman is leftish.

Not that that makes ESR particularly unique, but I wouldn't nominate him as a representative of even-keeled pragmatists; his temperament is much closer to the firebrand type that RMS and Theo de Raadt represent.
For a graduate certificate $3000 is actually quite pricey. At smaller Universities in Europe it is possible to earn a MSc in Business Intelligence & Data Mining via distance for just €4000 (http://www.itb.ie/StudyatITB/bn518BID.html). Plus their focus almost exclusively on open source software such as RapidMiner.

You might want to read another article at this site - http://securityskeptic.typepad.com/the-security-skeptic/2009... - it describes the documentation you should keep to prove the domain is yours in case it's hijacked. I imagine some of the same information would be useful.

I wonder how $25 Nokia dumbphones will do against the $25 Android phones that are coming (a bit more than a factor of 2 to go - we've already $50 off-contract during the right sale).
It concerns computers with Secure Boot - technology that checks if bootloader that you are loading is signed (which is supposed to mean it's safe). It will be needed for Windows 8 certification as optional on x86 and impossible to turn off on ARM - and those things aren't easy to hack around.

Of course, the problem is whose keys will be in the trusted set in your BIOS? The ones from Microsoft for sure (and they will happily sign anything they are asked to by US intelligence), and probably something from main board vendor. And here is where the fun starts: you wont be able to boot final version of Windows 8 without Secure Boot, but Secure Boot won't load GRUB. So you need a trip to BIOS configuration (IF your vendor was kind enough, which may be obvious now but may not be so in a few years) on every OS switch.
The Euro is a political instrument. It had original been introduced to keep us Germans under control after reunification. But there were other reasons:

* a single large market which is competitive on a world-wide scale needs its currency

* less dependence on the dollar

* use it as a tool for further integration

* stabilize countries. This may look funny given what you read all day, but when the Euro was introduced many countries were either recovering from fascism (especially in souther europe) or communism. Having a large currency makes it much more difficult to speculate against these countries. The Hedge fonds are speculating against the Euro and they have a really hard time to bring it down - like they did with other countries.

But the Germans would not have agreed if it hadn't also brought direct advantages. The one big advantage is this: trading in the Eurozone is much much easier and cheaper with a single currency.

And a lot of systems (i.e. linux) will reject it as a "dictionary word", even if such words don't appear in its dictionary. Such a password in an obscure foreign language isn't going to be cracked until someone starts doing a full-space search, which is still very difficult once you have more than 8 characters, yet it will still be rejected.

Most likely Udacity will have all those classes for free within another year anyway, with the opportunity to get a certificate that's actually widely recognized. Not trying to knock the UW program, but going to college to learn CS just seems like it's going to become really unnecessary really fast.

It's funny, on the NYC subways the city has now put up ads warning kids against going to college, and telling them to call the hotline to ask if the college is credible before enrolling.
Ask HN: Do you or does anyone you know produce trash? 
I see intentionally created trash (pandering art, throwaway ad bait websites, etc.) everyday that seems to make money, and I wonder: "Who does this stuff?"

To clarify my tone: I do not look down on this necessarily. Creating things that serve no purpose other than to help you or others make a living is a completely reasonable, although certainly not ideal, thing to do.

But creating this stuff can take real creativity and ability. In fact, some of the "trash" I'm referring to takes a lot of one or the other. So who's doing it?
I'm really considering to take this one, but I've would like to consider other alternatives, anyone knows other online c classes?
I think Meteor and YUI3 deserved a place in there. Their exclusions slightly makes it not-so-credible review.
