I agree with your critique of DNT, but private browsing isn't magic, there's plenty a bad actor could do to track you regardless of what you throw away at the end of the session, which means the same critique applies (unless you're using it for it's intended purpose, privacy from other users of your computer, and even then it's got holes).

I disagree, you can write anything in Django.

I'm currently writing a control panel for libvirt and it's a pleasure to use Django, so many features mean I can concentrate on the problem at hand and not on reinventing the wheel.

I guess I'm just too damned used to using systems that, you know, have useful tools installed locally (or can get them there really damned fast). Including SHA1 and MD5 hash generators.

And I was all worked up to tell you how wrong you were still being.

All because I couldn't fathom the possibility let alone reason anyone would need a third-party site to compute their hashes for them.

The key is an actual (albeit stylized) miniature version of the Model S [1], you can see it right in the beginning of the video being handed over. Why did nobody think of this before. I just love the immediate connection one makes with this object. While the features it brings to the table (unlocking car doors on approach, loading personal settings, etc.) are nothing really new, there seems to be one missing: the only thing I don't see is a way to connect it to my keychain, but that would probably only destroy its beautiful finish.

So how is this kind of design strategy called, if there is a name for it at all? I am asking, because it strikes me as really obvious, while it seems like one does not see it too often.

Most codebases I've seen that are badly maintained or managed over the years are horrible messes - whether Django, Rails or anything else. The last codebase I worked on - written in Django - was appallingly bad. That's no fault in any way of Django, but no framework is going to save you from poor coders, last-minute rushed requirements, chronic technical debt, or lack of investment in refactoring.
> Some sites like giving you no information in the URL

For me one of the worst offender in this category is youtube. I can't understand why they don't put a slug with the video name in the canonical URL (especially since they have youtu.be for shortening URLs). It's really a pain to find back an old video in, say, an IRC log with only the opaque video ID.

Vimeo does the same thing. Dailymotion however does put a meaningful slug.

Thats a great post, to some extent I think its true.

Most people tend to specialise in a particular skill set (development, sales, marketing), people with a broad spectrum that are suitable for high flying roles are very hard to find, just ask HP. Most CEOs I've worked with have tended to have a natural slant towards a particular skill and this tends to influence strategy. I know this only too well from my own experience, I try to counter this by getting involved in areas of the business I don't know so well, every day is a school day. Back to the post, IMHO its impossible to set any vision (especially a successful one) unless you spend time understanding the business as a whole, this means getting involved.

You appear to accusing Google of having different priorities from other platform vendors (the dreaded advertising perhaps? It's not clear) and of ineptitude in carrying out those priorities.

You can't really accuse them of both, either they were trying to copy Apple's business model and failed spectacularly, or they were following their own business model with great success. Personally I'd lean towards the latter, particularly as their own business model has found them providing search, video and maps by default to Apple's platform as well and getting map data in return.

(Also, one of Microsoft's biggest problems in recent times is... getting people to upgrade. This applies to the OS, the browser and Office. As a response they tried to move people to a model where they pay by subscription regardless of whether they upgrade or not, much like Google's advertising based model.)

How To Lose Weight Efficiently

As a foursquare user, I totally agree with all of these points. The personal journal point is especially cool. I didn't realize it until I tried looking at my past checkins, but it was actually really interesting to look back at what I was doing last summer, what I did when I went downtown with some friends last winter, where we went on vacations, etc.

This update looks awesome, nice work! I especially like the new Friends tab - much more useful now that it's actually possible to view multiple prior checkins rather than just the most recent.
That's correct, although with some variants you specify charset and length so there end up being tens of possibilities (lcase? ucase? digits? symbols? length=8,10,12,16...) rather than just one. The idea is that you use a passphrase that's reasonably secure, so that it cannot be brute forced.

I used to use a similar password hasher browser extension, and I think it's fine as long as the seed passphrase is sufficiently secure. However, now I prefer keepass/lastpass/1password with random passwords. Not having to type in the passphase as often makes it easier for the average person to use a more secure passphrase.
I can't understand the rationale behind tricking people into thinking this is secure.

- A list of (partial) hashes was released

- People start setting up websites where you can compute your hash, this is already a bit dubious

- Now people start setting up websitse where you can check if your password was stolen, effectively sending them a copy of your hash to make sure they got it...

It would not surprise me if one of those tools turn out to also send your unhashed password along.

Look, Tesla is billed as being greener than traditional autos but it is not. Drawing power from the grid is amazingly wasteful, and is often COAL. Trading oil for coal is not an environmental win-- Tesla's basic premise is a fraud. It reminds me of ethanol, another big government effort for the "environment" which makes things worse.
Good luck selling "generic" anything to someone.

I can't find the half billion figure for Tesla in that article (only for Fisker).

Also, Tesla is a public company and therefore discloses their finantials. Their total debt is 270M, and they have 280M in cash (therefore, negative net debt).

No sign of my password in there http://www.mediafire.com/?n307hutksjstow3, or my wife's. I checked both the full and the '00000' truncated hash for each. Neither of us had changed it for the last couple of years.

So I guess it is only a subset of all the linkedin passwords?

I have now changed my passwords anyway.

"but the admin of course only work with django models"

I think you missed the point. In Rails, ActiveSupport does a whole lot of automatic magic with ActiveRecord. But it is not limited to ActiveRecord, as most of that functionality is factored out into ActiveModel - implement those interfaces and your link helpers and whatnot will happily support nonAR models. I use this quite often to represent things that doesn't reside in a database.

Well, most of the time. There are a few things out there that are not migrated to ActiveModel yet that really should be (the model side of datehelpers in forms comes to mind).
Ask HN: Would you pay for an mobile/web app that tracked your goals?
We all set goals - career, personal, mental, physical etc

However how many times do we actually track and measure our performance? How often do we look back to see what we have achieved versus our goals?

Would you use an app that:
1) Allowed you to set your goals?
2) Allowed you to track your performance over weeks, months, years?
3) Reminded you about missed or achieved targets?

Would you pay for this app? If so, how much?

Looking for views on existing apps or desires for a new app to do some (or more) of the above.
Not really. It's only sending the hash of your password, not your password in plaintext.

Although the hashes don't seem to be salted...

How I store my ideas now: item in tasklist with project name, and a folder for it in my Dropbox with all related ideas, thoughts and material for the project.

As to your webapp,
How would you improve it? Better landing page with some info and/or pictures of what it actually does. When you create a new idea I think the private checkbox should be checked default (personal preference perhaps). Would be nice to be able to create a bullet list in the 'Notes' section. Also, when viewing an idea, the notes section strip away line breaks. This, and bullet list, would make it easier to get an overview over thoughts.

edit: also, when you have created a new idea, I would like a button at the bottom that takes me back to my ideas.

edit2: don't know if it's a bug, but it's nagging me to confirm my email adress, when I have not received an email. Maybe add a way to resend confirmation?

Suggestions on a name/url? Nope, sorry.

Would you use it? Seems kinda useful, I'll try it for a while to see if it's easy enough to keep updated.

Are there any premium features you could think of that would be worth paying for? I would pay for a mobile app (Android)

Hope this helps.

CAKeyframeAnimation — Make it bounce
I was kind of annoyed after a meeting (and an annoying electrical problem with my audi's parking sensors) the other day, so I drove over to the Tesla dealer in Menlo Park -- sitting in an awesome $100k car is a great motivator to work on a startup faster (so as to be able to buy a Tesla and a house to charge it in).

The interesting thing I learned is that a lot of the Tesla Roadsters will be available as Certified Pre-Owned, starting in Fall 2012 and pretty much into 2013. They had a bunch of them out for "lease a Roadster until your Model S is ready", and those are delivery positions in Fall 2012; there was also a lease program which will be expiring in 2013 as well (since the Roadster is no longer in production). I am still a lot more into a Model S sized car (luxury and functionality over performance and "fun"), but it would be a good option.
Ask HN: How to process feedback from friends and co-workers about your startup?
So you started developing your idea for a startup, you maybe working alone or along with another co-founder.
Of course you are fascinated by your idea, thinking how cool it is, but nevertheless you are still interested in knowing what other people think.
So my question is, how to get and process feedback from other people? There are a lot of issues worth considering; for example , the person you're asking the feedback from (you won't ask your 50 yr old dad if he thinks your IPhone photo sharing app is cool.. ) and most importantly, how to process this feedback - how can a founder predict the value of his/hers idea 'neutrally' (asking the right people , of course, people who might use your product)

So what happens when your master password gets exposed? You get to go to every single site and change your password? How do you even know which sites you have accounts?

I think I'll stick with 1Password and completely random passwords. F.ex. with LinkedIN, I just need to change one password (and I have a database of passwords telling me where I have accounts, comes in handy too).

Speaking of LinkedIN, how would you change your password there? (since password = salt (based on domain name) + hashing function + master password; how do you change it?!)

I used your app and it seems like a nice idea. After accumulating a lot of ideas myself, I often have to go through all of them after while to reevaluate why I chose not to pursue them at that time.

For me a 1-10 scale is not how I like to answer the questions in your app. I prefer a simple passionate/not-passionate & expensive/inexpensive type answer instead.

Also a way to tag an idea would be helpful for sorting later.

I use wunderkit/wunderlist to track my ideas because it has a native desktop and mobile application. I'm not sure if I would be willing to use a web application to track my ideas.
I think natural gas electrical generation + electric cars is a lot more likely to happen than natural gas vehicles (CNG or LNG). To the extent that NG displaces coal (which is already happening due to cost of NG being so low, at least in the US; we could accelerate it with regulation or long-term fuel contracts when building new plants), it's a big win.

From a security (vs. environmental) perspective, burning US coal is superior to importing oil.
