That could definitely be an issue. Balancing dynamic systems is hard, especially when you bring an entire new section online and connect it with the existing structure.

The EVE universe is imbalanced by nature and by design, but hopefully Dust's mechanics will make the actual gaming experience for Dust mercs fun nonetheless. I'd expect an equilibrium to eventually emerge where warring parties employ mercs of matched number, armament and skill, and no one can gain an upper hand. That's what tends to happen in EVE anyway -- the starmap reaches an equilibrium of victors and losers, and borders are quiet for some time until a large disruptive event occurs, upon which alliances go to war, conquer or collapse, and the starmap changes and resettles again. So I'm hopeful that the micro-experience will still be fun during these transitions, even if the odds are clearly against one side.

One would assume that whatever their yearnings, any reasonably professional executive would be willing to stay long enough past the IPO to keep people from wondering what was happening.

I would say you have already found your manifesto.
the real effect of what is described on that show would be the opposite. you aren't taking away the 80% of crime where the proceeds go towards procuring the drug. you aren't taking away inter-supplier conflict. and you are decreasing the available drug turf thus increasing competition between suppliers and raising the stakes.

in short:

* same crime to supply addicts is there
* inter-gang violence is still there
* premium on drug territory increases, thus violence and competition increases

Reliance, a big Indian conglomerate, wants to own '.indians', presumably because they own a cricket team called "Mumbai Indians".
Not sure. I've only replaced a drive in an out-of-warranty machine, but it didn't raise any eyebrows when I brought it into an Apple store for major repairs. For what it's worth, I used the same OEM.
My first thought was that this might be fascinating, but it turns out to be more redundant than anything else.

If you're constantly out with friends or playing sports, you probably aren't going to have time to use your email all day, play games, share files, and watch videos. If you're staying at home all day... well, to one extent or another, that sort of defines "depression" in a very broad sense.

I'm not sure how this article made it to the top.

I see some people use the MBA with a 27" thunderbolt display that are still using the MBA as a secondary display and I'm wondering what you find this useful for. I would think having the 2560*1440 would be more than enough and not having to turn your head would be great. Especially since full screen isn't supported in multimonitor mode in Lion (yet, i hope).
The guy who applied for 300 is a domainer. He's going for them specifically to mark them up and sell them on, he doesn't want to hold them.

At least, that's my assumption. He might want to run ".domains".
Domain names are a useful abstraction away from IP addresses for some people.

I agree with you that many people are not sure about domain names (they don't know what the http:// is, or what the www (or whatever) before the domain name means, or what the TLD represents) - and this is supported by some of the measures that have gone to protecting users from bad actors. Bind updates to protect against unicode exploits; highlighting the address bar to emphasise https connections; and so on.

Gently scummy efforts by other people have benefited from the mistakes people make; redirecting to ad-laden search pages by ISPs is one pretty bad example.

So, do domain names need another level of abstraction? Or is it broken and does it need a redesign? What could you do?
I'm guessing he's referring to Gary Taubes and the book, Good Calories, Bad Calories. It was a big thing years ago, and I would have also assumed most people knew about it. One of the basic ideas is that calories in - calories out = fat is an oversimplification and ignores the complexities of the way our bodies process different foods. In other words, the argument isn't trying to break the laws of physics, it's just arguing where the energy is actually going in your equation.

The book itself is lengthy and comprehensive. He cites a lot of research to make his case, and the citations are available in the book.

With that said, I don't think calories in - calories out is wildly inaccurate, and I don't believe Taubes makes that case.
Can any of those not be an interface to an application layer?
I used to strongly feel the same way. My setup used to be 24" screen in front with keyboard and mouse, with the 13" MBP to the side. Code on the monitor, browser on the laptop usually. I thought I was the king of productivity, and I couldn't imagine ditching the dual monitor setup. I'd been rocking the dual monitors for the past 4 years.

I gradually drifted away from the monitor, and now just sit in front of the laptop. I think I just got sick of wasting time every morning plugging 4 cables into my mac (power, monitor, usb, headphones). I also like the mbp keyboard better (a LOT better) than Apple's quiet low-profile key usb keyboard. Yeah, I could have just gone with a different keyboard, but I _really_ like the keyboard on my macbook. Not using a mouse, I move my hands less. The gestures make me more efficient (and I use BetterTouchTool, as well). I also _really_ like the trackpad on my macbook.

I think there are several benefits to using just the laptop:

1. The browser is usually hidden behind the code I'm working on, instead of staring me down. I'm distracted less, and with the keyboard I can quickly switch to the browser just as quickly as I could turn my head.

2. Whether I'm at my desk in the office, the table at home, or lounging in bed, I'm always using the same setup. I typically do most of my work ssh'd into the cloud, so I don't really care about transporting my .vimrc all over with Dropbox, but if that weren't the case, my dot files always with me.

3. I'm more comfortable since I don't have to keep turning my head back-and-forth between the two screens, and I don't have to keep swapping my hand between the keyboard and mouse.

My 24" monitor mostly just sits and collects dust, but I do sometimes plug it in. The 13" mbp screen isn't really big enough to do side-by-side comparisons, so if I ever have the need for that, I'm glad I still have the monitor around. I'll also use it if I ever have to fire up the javascript debugger, which I find easier to use expanded to the full screen.

It does, but if you identify it before it can be reported, don't leave a paper trail, and find another reason (because there's always a reason if you want there to be one), you can probably get around that. I'm not suggesting that it would be ethical or even a good idea, but it's certainly possible that an early-detection system could be used to be very evil indeed.

Discrimination is far too common. I'm deaf. As soon as they ask me for my number to call me and I tell them to use email instead... I never ever hear from them again. It's very rare for one to respond to emails unless it's a new "client".
My concern is that in my years of struggling with my depression (and my current state of doing quite well), I've had people make heavy-handed attempts to "help" me and I've had people who actually helped me. There's no guarantee that anyone who can guess without my telling them that I'm depressed is going to be the kind of person I'm willing to trust.
True, although out of the things you listed, no company would try and fight to legalize any of those things under the companies best intrest in the way VPN could.

Yes I want to do that, too.
This is exactly the kind of thing I would've been working on if my boss hadn't said "it's a great idea, but let's just use it if somebody else does it". I worked on converting JSMad to use entirely typed arrays last summer (fun!), so I'm especially glad to see that all fixed up in the refactoring for Aurora.

Now, what I'd really like to see is a similar project for a) container formats and b) video codecs. I've been experimenting with using JSMad to display waveforms from decoding MP3 files that are the audio tracks of videos (for assisting with subtitling), but it's kinda annoying having to download a separate file for generating waveforms rather than just extracting it directly from the same video that's playing anyway.
Y'know... I live in the suburbs and you'll be surprised how many amenities are walkable, yet everyone still prefers to drive. At the end of the day, people are just lazy as fuck. Unless there's a good carrot (or stick) that'll motivate them enough - looking good doesn't seem to be a good enough carrot, and deteriorating health doesn't seem to be a big enough stick - they won't change.

Perhaps a fat tax coupled with a staying healthy tax return might help.

The whole thing IS bullshit. Limited TLDs should simply have been abolished entirely. A domain name should be able to end in any string.

Now ICANN has squandered the ability to bring about this change, which would end all domain-name "shortages" and take domain-name evolution to its logical conclusion.

Ask HN: Interest in a new open source, fast, in-memory, data analysis system?
Over the past few months I have been experimenting with building a fast, distributed, in-memory, append-only database designed for analytics. The idea being that many No-SQL databases are pretty terrible at ad-hoc querying, and while ordinary relational databases provide good support for ad-hoc queries, their performance leaves a lot to be desired for large data sets. Basically an open source Vertica / KDB.

The system will accept data over HTTP (as JSON / CSV) and can be queried in either SQL, or an SQL like language, with full support for joins, sub-queries and aggregations, with output as CSV or JSON over HTTP.

The idea being that you can fire of a JSON request to your analytics database whenever something happens (be it a signup, purchase, click, etc) and have that data captured, ready for use in your dashboards or for ad-hoc querying. The system will also be able to integrate with R for statistical fanciness.

If such a system existed, would you use it?

I will probably continue working on it regardless of any feedback (because its fun!), but I'll spend more time on it if its something people feel they might use.

If you would like to develop it too (using a combination of C for data manipulation and go-lang for everythign else), send me an email.

The slow web strikes me as one of the latest links in a very long chain that originates to a time when cities emerged with completely different rhythm and pulse than the agrarian/hunting life before it. It seems that ever since since the transition from nature to city, we've been trying to maintain a balance in our lives by controlling the fast pace and chaos that surrounds us.

Only I'm not sure the slow web is enough. In the same way that it's impossible to radically change the pulse of life while still living in the city, boxed in by your social interactions and work, is it possible to slow down the pace of the web in a meaningful way? Shouldn't we put our efforts on a lower level of the pyramid instead of superficial work at the top of it? Not so much slow web as less web altogether?

It can only get worse.

Once that first batch of TLD is approved a bunch of large corporations will try to get their's as well.

Initially the ICANN process will be perceived as bloated. To alleviate this competing TLD registars will take over so as to drive down the price and administrative burden.

And ultimately everybody and their dog will have a TLD.

There is an easy way to win over "the fast web" without shutting everything down. It's easy and boils down to understanding how reinforcements work. The most addictive and enjoyable reinforcements are random reinforcements, both for humans and animals (see B. F. Skinner's work for reference). If you don't want to get addicted then make your rewards less random by for example checking your email, HN etc. two/three times a day in predictable patterns.

Personally, I use SelfControl. When I want to do serious work I fire it up and block everything for 1-3 hours. This works wonders for my productivity and it also regulates addictiveness. I don't know if this makes me part of the "slow web" movement, I just don't like distractions.
