If you want your omibox to work exactly like before

Go to Wrench >> settings >> search "Manage Search Engines". Under "other search engines" add a new search engine using this address for the URL

Ask HN:Why do browser don't display the tabs on the left?
I've been using "Tree Style Tabs" for years on Firefox. This is what is pushing me away from chrome (that I use everyday but very lightly since it gets too messy when I have too many tabs opened).

Show HN: Community Events - kpasa
http://lax.kpasa.co/

Hi, I needed a side project to teach myself Django & AWS but couldn't think
of anything Earth-shattering to work on... After searching and coming
up empty I decided instead to build the kind of events site I've been
waiting for for about ten years.

Though events sites are a dime a dozen, after all these years I still
haven't found one I like. None seem to focus on what I want to
know--what are the fun (and best) things to do today and this weekend?

I'm wondering, can such a mundane site pay for itself? It's been fun
implementing all the ways it could. I would appreciate some ideas on
the premium services front.

Also, would anyone be interested in renting the app for use in their city, on
something like Amazon Marketplace? Finally, if it doesn't get traction
on its own I'm thinking of open-sourcing it to see if hosting/consulting
are a possibility.

Would appreciate any thoughts, and thanks for your time.

TL;DR - I've made an (events + reddit + meetup + gmaps mashup) prototype for fun
and hope to turn it into something.
Flash was the standard. Sure, you could use something else, but that something else most likely worked for less viewers. And the plugin-gap is real -- asking users to install a plugin causes some users to skip and move on.

To ignore the previous ubiquity of Flash is absurd.

Yes, strange, I wonder why that is, they must be irrational or something, unlike us sane guys.

It's not like there are money to be made there, or that is the most successful mobile app ecosystem in sales volume, returns and customer base. Or that it has a nice platform overall, despite having the occasional 2 year old unfixed bug...

That said I've seen 2 and 5 year old unfixed bugs in open source software too. Come to think of it, Webkit, which powers Mobile Safari, is open source itself. Why not go and submit a patch there?
I'm missing some contact information on the page. The feedback button redirects me to some Google Moderator page, whatever that is, but aside from the black top bar the page stays blank. Yes, I already tried rebooting...

Nope, they can’t. Local implementations differ wildly.

In Germany, the burden of proof reverses after six months (i.e. after six months the buyer has to proof that a defect was present when they bought the product – I have not idea how you can do that short of hiring some sort of expert), making the two year warranty basically useless. No company will do anything for you after six months.

Also, I can very much understand why Apple found itself in the situation it is in Italy. In Germany there is a very clear difference between a „Garantie“ (lit. “guarantee”) and a „Gewährleistung“ (≈ “defects liability”).

A „Garantie“ is a contract between seller (or a company which made the product) and buyer with certain guarantees and conditions the seller provides. That’s exactly what Apple does with their one year warranty. The conditions are very different from those of the law.

A „Gewährleistung“ is what the law requires the seller to do if there is any defect in the product that was there when it was sold. How that is implemented in detail differs from country to country. Also note that I’m talking about the seller here. Apple provides their warranty no matter where you buy your Apple product. You can go directly to them if you have a problem, no matter where you bought it. That’s not so in the case of the „Gewährleistung“. To make it easy for buyers, they can always go to their sellers with problems that are covered by the law.

They probably were too broad in their EU policy and ignored that Italy is so damn finicky about this.
While people might not delete their accounts en-masse, this does hurt them.

When you upset your users, you drive them away. They use your product less, and associate with you negatively.

The more this happens, the more people stop posting and sharing, and everyone simply stops using the site.

Remember most people on MySpace didn't delete their accounts, they just stopped using the service.

Lawyers are creative but judges are also usually pretty smart. They're quite capable of ruling that "if it looks like a sale and it acts like a sale, it's a sale" even if it's structured as a license.

Stop The Fear Of Difficult Decisions From Holding Back Your Business
I drive a 82HP Ford Fiesta, and I sorely miss the extra HP when having extra people in the car, carrying luggage (like on holiday), and god forbid, putting the air-conditioning on...it seems you lose like 20HP on that alone...

I live in Holland, with flat country and use the car mainly for commuting (I'm the only one in it). No real problems there. We went on holiday to France and with its mountains, the car really struggled sometimes. Not to mention you need to quickly overtake other cars quite a bit, especially when you get stuck behind tourists and their caravans.
I'm entirely in favour of dropping the wattage once it becomes feasible to do so.

This is why I prefer Sinatra-style programming. You don't have to waste brain cells on unnecessary abstractions that don't correspond to anything real.

You just have functions (not "controllers", or "operations") that respond to a particular url/method combination. Those functions job is to interpret the request and respond accordingly.

This style adds no new abstractions or opinions that aren't already in http. It formalizes what http already gives you, with some utility methods for the common things needed (content negotiation, etc).
I love Adam's work (even when I don't). It shows how a unique voice or vision can permeate someone's work, which can be positive or negative, but in Adam's case is almost always positive.

This is the type of creative start-ups should be looking to work with. (First hint, if you think you've found the person, try to stay out their way creatively. A good creative will give you something better than you could expect, a great one will give you something you never could have imagined.)

For someone who follows soccer closely, none of the revelations were surprising, apart from the centrality of Capdevilla, which again can possibly be explained by the fact that Spain play a passing game right down to the goalkeeper. So while the goalkeeper of other teams hoof the ball down the pitch, Spain's goalkeeper prefers to pass it to one of his available defenders. Capdevilla being the left back is a usual supect. I am sure the right back would also have a high network centrality. Taking nothing away from the analysis though, its still pretty cool.
Well done, unfortunately all devices using this will be sued out of the market by Apple.
I would be skeptical about the usefulness of this data to soccer. It can answer questions like "how many passes" or how connected a player is but it doesn't tell you how to play like Spain or how to beat Spain. It just confirms what you can tell by watching Spain on tv: they pass lot, and they're really skillful. The number of completed passes, distance ran, assists, shots on/off target, goals, etc is already heavily tracked (http://www.optasports.com/sports/football.html).

As an aside, the reason for the prevalence of the tiki-taka philosophy is largely because of the legendary Barcelona youth training camp - La Masia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Masia). The whole way of thinking about soccer differs massively in the British Isles compared to continental Europe - in England and Ireland it's the outdated 'kick-and rush' style football (aka "hoof it up to the big striker") versus the more patient possession-focused, passing game in continental Europe.

This is not a question of emotions. If you don't know how something works you won't be able to use it as well. If that's fine with you, okay.

If you want to drive a race car, you don't have to be a mechanic. You do have to understand some basic physics and simple parts of the car. For example, when you turn sharply into a corner, the wheel's camber helps determine how much of the tire's surface stays on the road, giving you more grip, keeping you in the corner at a higher G-force. Looking at the wear on the tire you can tell that your camber might need to be adjusted, and that might make 1/10th of a second difference, which is the difference between winning and losing.

If you want to program like a grandmother driving to the grocery store, all you need is gas. But if you want to program like a race car driver, try to learn how the internals work.

I'd also add that if you want to program for people like Google or Amazon, you need to understand how the internals work, or you will be seriously embarrassed at the interview. (From personal experience)

The level of clarity in post incident reporting by Amazon is excellent. During-incident, sub-par. Amazon seems to try to minimize any "more than just a single AZ is affected" in their realtime reporting during outages. There's also a disconnect between the graphics and the text.

What I don't like is that they make repeated promises about AZes and features which are repeatedly shown to be untrue. They also have never disclosed their testing methodology, which leads me to assume there isn't much of one. That makes me unlikely to rely on any AWS services I can't myself fully exercise, or which haven't shown themselves to be robust. S3, sure. EC2, sure (except don't depend on modifying instances on any given day during an outage). EBS, oh hell no. ELB, probably not my first choice, and certainly not my sole ft/ha layer. Route 53, which I haven't messed with, actually does seem really good, but since it's complex, I'm scared given the track record of the other complex components.

Of course Apple cares about money but they make their money by customers buying their hardware. They put their customers first because that is where they make their money.

As a counterpoint, Apple refuses to pay employees on commission because Jobs didn't want them upselling to consumers because there is a less chance of them being a returning customer.

It's the goal of every business to make money. It's how you go about it that tells the story.

Spain's success is not about passing accuracy alone, nor can one reduce team quality to measuring the number of successful passes. Sure it's generally a good statistic, as is possession, but many other factors count and completely different styles can be equally successful.

People tend to overreact to the latest result.

Spain's biggest success was being able to accommodate to a system without a reference striker (Villa being injured). Puyol was also out and Sergio Ramos played very well as CB, leaving Arbeloa as RB despite being a dead spot supporting the attack. Xabi Alonso had a lot fewer of his long pin-point passes (his best quality) and had a more defensive role, Iniesta held the ball more to link Xavi and Silva. All in all it was very surprising that they won despite missing two of their very best players for the tournament. However, had they lost to Portugal in the penalty shoot-out (and they play a COMPLETELY different style with much fewer passes) then we wouldn't have this article in FP right now.
Yeah, I'm not sold on this one. This sounds like it's trying to make a story up after the fact. Of course Xavi gets the ball the most, he plays the point of a diamond midfield, or the "trequatrista" role. Since the point of soccer is to move forward, he is in the position most likely to touch the ball the most (middle of the pitch). The left back (Jordi Alba in this year's Euro) won't touch the ball too much ... because he plays left back.

Similarly, for Italy, I don't need any graph theory to know that Pirlo gets the ball the most because (A) he's their best player and (B) because he plays in a deep position in the midfield so it's easy for him to get the ball from the goalkeeper, defenders, or other midfielders.

Long story short - teams set themselves up so their best players get the ball the most. You don't need to be a mathemagician to dig that nugget up.
