The TMDb API links mostly to YouTube trailers. Of the ones I tried, 1/3 were online but 480p at best, 1/3 were simply offline, and 1/3 were unavailable due to country restrictions.

So, yeah, it's pretty bad. We've also looked into http://www.traileraddict.com/trailerapi but there doesn't seem to be any reliable way to get only trailers from there (you often have DVD bonuses, making of, etc.) and their embed is pretty messy.

If you find a better solution, let us know!
I can't consult you on this, but I do recommend you to speak with a lawyer. Ask around the developers you trust for recommendations.
EM waves are transverse (they oscillate perpendicular to their direction of motion) and sound waves are longitudinal (they oscillate in the same direction as they move).

There are some mathematical differences between transverse and longitudinal waves, so it's not just the same math with a different medium.

Thanks a lot. I plan to make a living out of my programming & product building abilities but not in this domain, it's too messy.

However, I hope we can reach an agreement with content distributors at least in some countries and replace the torrents by available legal sources.

Thanks a lot for the positive feedback, got a lot of hate uncalled for here, that's refreshing :)
Iranian officials repeatedly denied the right of existence of Israel. As a German who at least tries to learn something from history, these are signals i can not ignore.
Also, from my point of view, the political system of Israel and the way its society works, is something worth fighting for. Whereas the political system of Iran is something worth fighting against. Ask any Iranian, who is not brainwashed and wants to live a life not controlled by religious nutcases.

Burligame, CA - Collaborative Drug Discovery (CDD) (https://www.collaborativedrug.com)

CDD is growing and financially stable. Our software helps scientists manage, analyze and collaborate around their drug discovery data (chemistry and biology). We are are in a great position to support the evolution towards more collaboration, specialization and distribution in a market that has been historically closed and secretive. The model has been successful with academic labs, small biotech startups and very large collaborations (like the Gates foundation TB initiative or MM4TB in Europe). We are now gaining some traction with government agencies and the big pharmaceuticals.

We are hiring two full-stack software developers (https://www.collaborativedrug.com/pages/employment#h-1). As one of the core developers, you need to be comfortable working or interested in building expertise at every level of the stack. Experience or interest in system administration and operations is nice to have though not required. We have many projects involving web development, data visualization, data processing, scaling, security, privacy and other software challenges to make our scientific application collaborative, engaging and rewarding.

It is perfectly OK if you do not have experience with any of the languages or technologies we currently use (Rails/Ruby/JS/MySQL/Solr...) as long as you can learn those quickly. CDD is a great place if you want to have a lot of impact and like to take on projects and responsibilities. We offer market salary and meaningful equity.

If you are interested, contact work@collaborativedrug.com, you will get an answer from one of the developers.
Yup, short film names currently give not-so-good torrent results. One guy in the team is working on much better algorithms for the following:

- Torrent ranking for a given movie

- Better heuristic to detect the quality of release, language, and 'advanced' tags: there's a lot you can guess from the release name without having to download/cache the files yourself.

- Movie recommendation (stuff like "3 of your friends want to watch the same kind of movies, why not watch them together?")

- Hell, who knows, matchmaking? "You and X would probably get along well, since you're both hardcore Tarantino fans"

In any way, clean design is not the only way we try to differenciate ourselves.

I think it was vWorker, but you're right. They have a time tracking tool which randomly takes screenshots, and webcam shots. Now I don't know about screen shots, but for Udacity the final exam tracker should be allowed to randomly take webcam shots.

The thing is, consumers live in the browser these days. In all the discussions and debates about Metro, the most important factor of all is being left out: what value does Windows 8 add to applications? How will it reverse the trend that's currently leading toward browser-centric usage patterns?

Even if someone actually wants to run iOS-style weather and stock-price apps on their PC for some reason, they don't need a new OS to do it.

Upgrading to Windows 8 would be like trading your car for a minivan because you want a new radio.

Of course, everybody is used to it, but they did have to get used to it at some point

Not really. Think back to your first encounter with Windows 95. What was the first thing you noticed, the first time you opened the Start menu? The fact that the bottom-most line read "Shut down" is probably high on your list. That was all you needed to know, and you certainly didn't have to "get used to it."

Interfaces need to be highly intuitive, or else highly discoverable. It doesn't sound as if Metro qualifies as either.

arcane commands into a terminal that has killed interest
in computer science

Uh, actually. I think that this review is well off, and it really shows here. The command line is simple. Everybody I know learned to program by writing command-line programs. I mean, seriously, int main(){printf("hello world");}. That's incredible for education. Review it as a media center or a browser and you will be disappointed.
Would it be possible to get the browser to generate a random key, use the current mechanism to encrypt that key and then upload a file, that has been encrypted with the original key, to a third party?

The reason I ask is that something like that could be used to build a file sharing service where the content is only known to those people with the correct links (with the # anchor information).

This would be super useful for distributing private data.
Using Comparator and Comparable interfaces
The community for RPi is small mostly because it's impossible to get one. They really need to ramp up manufacturing to get the device into more hands. I ordered one 5 weeks ago from element14 but it looks like I'll still have to wait another month or two to get mine.

In Northern Somali dialects you can pretty much put "dee" between every other sentence. People do it sometimes to buy time while gathering thoughts. It vaguely means "therefore".

In the South it's "noo", and it vaguely means "why don't you?". Or "allore", from Italian allora.
I torrent stuff, like a substantial portion of humanity. Except music (Spotify) and games less than five years old. Movies I torrent without a care, unless they're indie or similar. Anyway, I digress, I'm just saying I'm not going to hypocritically pontificate, just comment on the product.

On the actual site: I like the straightforward process you've gone for. A search for 'Dracula' returns multiple, relevant results with the year of release where it's available. It's very easy to find what movie I want. A downside is the download options, all I'm presented with is some links with the filesizes, that's not enough information in my opinion, but I suppose there's not actually much you can do about that. It's a downside because it's not immediately clear if it has subtitles, what language it might be dubbed in and if it is HD or not.

It's a pretty well executed idea that's naturally going to be a bit rough 'round the edges, but it's a great start.
I grew up down there. It's very poor and uneducated area (though has one of the very best magnet high schools in the nation, where I was fortunate enough to go).

That area badly needs the economic stimulus, but I'd say it needs some inspiration even more. Launching men to outer space right in the Rio Grande Valley is a great start...
Comparing Iran to Nazi Germany? That's a blatant strawman in no need of answering, and for being a German it looks like you learned the wrong lesson; it's ok for someone to victimize others because they were once the victims?

Also, what do you mean by "the political system of Israel and the way it's society works, is something worth fighting for"?
A political system & way of life built on the subjugation of a people, stealing their land and turning millions of them into refugees, all justified by a religious belief that their deity gave them that land over 2000 years ago?

Iran's political system has major problems, but at least they didn't emigrate from Europe to kill and drive a people off their own land and claim it as their own cuz the old testament said it was their's..
Ask HN : As an Early Employee | Equity vs ESOP? and how much?
I have been working in a startup for quite some time now. Recently they have raised seed capital so now going to formalize stuff. They have given me an option to choose between Equity or ESOPs.

I am confused, what should I choose? Points to consider are : Equity are subject to dilution in later round of financing, but gives more control (i think), where as ESOP have some strike price associated with it?

Please tell me the parameters on which I can take a decision?

Secondly how much is the acceptable range of equity for first few employees in a web startup?
I think the restaurant tipping is the least strange, because at least in Europe you usually tip at restaurants if the service or food is really good, but you don't have to like you do in the US.

What gets me every time is all the other places where you are expected to tip, and where I have absolutely no idea of how much I'm expected to tip or that I'm supposed to tip in the first place. Pizza delivery? What? Cab drivers? Seriously? The omelet chef in a hotel's breakfast restaurant? Are you kidding me?!?

The weirdest one yet was when me and some friends were leaving the US, we got to the airport, and passed some sort of exterior baggage drop. We went to that, but there was a guy there in an airport uniform who took our bags and put them on the conveyer belt when we tried to do it ourselves. So we said "thanks" and walked away.

And he got so angry at us for not tipping him. So confusing.
And doing stuff like that is going to make stuff like IT/Engineering education a hell of a lot more fun, rewarding and accessible.
I like to think of the RPi as an arduino that can run opencv. Arduinos are nice little devices for getting started in the electronics world, but when you need to do real work, it's nice that the RPi is essentially the same price.

It makes sense for groceries to have a faster turnaround though--after all, many of them are actually perishable.
As an Eastern European, I concur. Here (Bulgaria), it's common to round up (only to the degree of 1 leva (0.50 euro)) for taxis and restaurants. This is "normal". If you tip higher, for example if you round up from 47 leva to 50, it's mostly regarded as a "tip", which means the server will be delighted. Anything more than that, is mostly regarded as unwise and unnecessary.
Most of Eastern Europe (with the exception of notable tourist destinations like Greece and Turkey) is quite the same.

The Innovation of StackOverflow
I sort of agree and disagree with you on the accessibility of the command line, it's definitely a lot less difficult that it was a decade ago, what with the proliferation of the internet and therefore stuff like StackOverflow, but it's still notably daunting and somewhat steep on the learning curve. Still, stuff like this is how we make it easier and more accessible.
The reviewer probably isn't aware of the tech bubble too. All the madness that is facebook & instagram, were fueled by arcane commands in a terminal. I remember from the first bubble that made computer science so hot, we had history majors willing to switch to CS to learn these arcane commands.

MSFT is a business, and they need new releases to generate revenue.

You look at Metro and it feels like it's change for change's sake.

It's a good way of putting it. Arduinos are probably more directly rewarding and usable (if you're an Engadget reporter anyway), but if I was setting up an under 16's Comp Sci class, It'd have to be the Pi, just 'cause it's more.. educational?
Good question. It appears that I jumped the gun a bit, doesn't it?
Quite so! And whereas the Arduino has flash and ram measured in a handful of kb the Raspberry Pi has half a gig of ram onboard and supports SD cards which run at less than a dollar per gig, and runs linux of course. If you want to run Python or Erlang or host a local Postresql server on your tiny little embedded system you can do so easily with Raspberry Pi. The sorts of projects that are going to come out of this thing are going to be incredible.
For me, it's also the sound of modems, here's a small story explaining my personal connection to these modem sounds.

In the 90s I used to get my emails from BBSs and frequently the first thing I did after waking up was to boot up the PC and make it call the (at those times usually busy) BBS. While taking a shower, brushing teeth, getting dressed etc... there was this long chain of

Pick-up, Dialtone, Dialing, Busy... Wait. Pickup, DIaltone, Dialing, Busy... Wait. Pickup, Dialtone, Dialing, Busy...

until finally, maybe after 10-15 minutes it would connect, so I could sit down on the computer and check for new emails. Then there was the 2nd call to upload replies to the BBS... This was daily routine for a few years!

I still own the trusty Telebit T2500 and a USR Courier, I think I'll have to put them up my small Server/NAS just for the fun of being able to dial in and fetch my emails, maybe with an android-phone? ;-)

Wow, finally a thoughtful, non-knee-jerk response. Thank you for taking the time to write this.

I don't feel think something being 'socially acceptable' in a group is a good way to measure if it's good.

I agree with that, I was more trying to say that I don't really choose my actions based on whether I think they're "good" or "bad". In fact, when I chide someone, I tell them what they're doing is "uncool". This made me realize I'm actually choosing my actions based on social acceptability, and I felt like, doesn't everyone? In fact, e.g. bus driver segregating the bus, we as a society even consider this ok.

If the existence or state of things is determined by groupthink in different circumstances the world is in a lot of trouble and doesn't have a strong foundation.

My impression is that throughout human history, the "state of things" has been determined by groupthink, and it will be basically until the Singularity (but that's any day now, right?). Now don't get me wrong, it's lead to all manner of problems (Godwin's law is relevant here), but it seems to me to be a fundamental element of the human condition.

We live in a strangely retarded relativistic and selfish world where everything is everyone's and nothing is anyone's.

Care to elaborate on "retarded"?

Do you not see this new relativistic, cosmopolitan world as an improvement over when people had absolute convictions? I was taught that they used them to justify what we now consider heinous crimes.

"selfish" being good is a capitalistic idea, but "everything is everyone's and nothing is anyone's" sounds quite socialist, so this seems contradictory.

silly rant about police making money

While I agree that a lot of people have an unfair bias against the police, it's not silly to be worried about unnecessary laws motivated by government revenues, do you think this never happens?

The rest of your comment:

Why do you avoid jaywalking, and why did you refuse to copy her answer? What do you think of people who jaywalk, and who copy other people's answers, and who pirate movies? Would you say what they're doing is unethical, or even "clearly unethical"?

I think the copying answers thing is especially interesting, because while there's controversial arguments about the hurtfulness of jaywalking and pirating, copying someone's answer to a problem you know how to do, with their permission, is the ultimate example of a victimless, but apparently in your eyes, unethical act. Is it just the principle of the matter, because you feel like you'd be presenting her work as your own?

There was a class at university I took where my friend and I would pair on working through the problems on the whiteboard, and she would write the solutions down, and I, who always procrastinated way more than her, ended up regularly copying her solutions (not verbatim, heavily paraphrased, but definitely not working it out on my own again). Would you do that? If not, would you judge me for it?

In lost revenues, yes. But that just means less profit. Having inventory on hand and having to sell it at a loss or bury it (like the Lisa, for instance) means actually taking a loss.
Yes. For example, if you wanted to tell a stranger "that person is a police officer," the most natural translation is probably "ano hito wa keikan desu." In other contexts, you might replace "desu" with the informal "da" or the ultra-polite "de gozaimasu" (or "de gozaru" if you're a samurai). In practice you wouldn't say it too often. Other grammatical structures (like "-te iru") are more appropriate counterparts to maybe 75% of English sentences involving "to be."

It is nonetheless grammatically possible to contrive every sentence to end in "desu." This is an unusual habit, though. It's a little like beginning every utterance in English with "it seems" or "Simon says."

the news is, that now the software freedom conservancy has some kernel and samba copyright holders, so it can enforce the gpl even when busybox is replaced for infringing devices.
