More power to the user is good. Current IdM solutions leak too much data to the service providers/relying parties.

What really sucks about all solutions is that once the data has leaked, you gotta trust the service providers not to sell or give your data away.
Sigh. Please actually use other tools in orchestration space before building another wheel.

A nice ui over pluggable backends is a great idea. Building (another) sub par orchestration tool seems like a waste of everyone's time. Mcollective has had the prototype REST bridge for what, 2.5 years?
Okay, I guess I haven't made myself clear. If Grooveshark costs eight dollars and hour it's going to be out of business in a day. That doesn't help artists. I only see two scenarios, either the 70 cent tax is avoided in which case no artists are helped, or it's paid on almost every song in which case Grooveshark collapses and no artists are helped.
Are you sure about that? If facebook got the rights for the music videos and would integrate them tightly with the rest of their site, chances are that youtube would start becoming irrelevant. You're right that right now youtube has got the users, but facebook does, too, and they especially have the users who are interested in music videos. That makes them especially attractive for remixers etc. too.

eh, the stress of pager depends a whole lot on how often it goes off; I've had people that could take pager for the last two years, and haven't put them on it. I take pains to see to it that the pager doesn't go off often, and eh, I'm not paying enough, really, to expect that out of others.

I mean, this is what being a SysAdmin is. Something is very wrong if you get paged more than once a week, but you carry that pager all the time. It's part of why we pull down real programmer money with only a subset of real programmer knowledge.

I've got a cellphone with extra batteries and a Verizon dongle thingie that can get me online from just about anywhere, so it's really just the power I'm worried about. Sometimes I carry extra laptop batteries.

For me, the biggest problems have been when I was paged when exhausted, sleep-wise. A few times I've had to hand off because I was in that state. (I've had a problem where I handed it off because I needed to sleep, then Nick handed it back to me in the morning because he needed to sleep.)

So yeah, having someone else is pretty important, I think, and worth waiting a few more years for the 'real money' payout, but eh, if you are doing it right, you can be front line pager forever without too many issues. (that said, I'm going to a family reunion soon, in Montana. probably the farthest away I've been in a while, and certainly the longest time I've spent on a plane. Nick will be primary on pager.)
In order to further my procrastination this evening, I Googled the OP's username found a Twitter account that synced up with the OP's reddit interests (seems to be obsessed with magic the gathering), except that he's located in.... New Zealand. Not NYC.

Neither his Twitter or blog talk about this incident. Interestingly enough his first reddit submission was an AskReddit with a type of challenge/riddle. So its possible he just likes fabricating riddles for karma

Next bit would be interesting to look at hand position of programmers in different languages. I know when I am programming Perl my right hand tends to move back and forth into different positions while my left hand stays in the standard position. Wondering if I am unique there or if it is common, and how other languages affect this.
"Viacom has decided to take a service away from all Internet users in its attempt to punish DirecTV"

And besides, the Viacom streaming player is terrible and low quality. If anything, this is going to remind people of the Hi-def, no-ad world they could be living in.
If that's your product idea, then you may be asking the wrong people. I would imagine that the audience of people who want scraping but can't code resides elsewhere. Plus, even if this tool does fill a need would you expect the audience to set up their own data store as well? Generally people who are going to scrape data eventually plan on doing something with that data and I can't think of a scenario where a non-coder would would to scrape a lot of data and consume it in a way that doesn't require technical chops.

FWIW, I'm working on a scraping project that I will probably open source and the feature that is most valuable to me is being informed when it breaks. In my case it's a real time scraper pulling data on demand, so immediate alert when a scraping formula fails is super important.

If you want more feedback, I'd be happy to try it out. Email in profile.
So, would we be better off with <a href="http://www.link-to-site.com/ /> and no link text? Surely not. As someone else said, the information with a link will depend on the context/audience.

I have a facebook account, but I don't trust them enough to allow them to know anything about me except what I intentionally put on facebook. Thus, I don't use products that require me to authenticate with facebook. I will, however, authenticate with Google or a password. And, I would use Persona.

I'm simply not trusting facebook under any circumstances. I'm in the minority, I know. But, if you want my money, or my time, on your web app (and maybe you don't; maybe you want people who have low desire for privacy or security, since they're probably more likely to click on ads), you're gonna have to offer something other than facebook for logging in.

Alright. The re bubble was not big enough to create the crisis - firstly.

It's was the cdo industry which leveraged those mortgages, and the other derivatives which made the whole crisis exponentially larger and exponentially more complex.

An issue during the crisis was not that people were broke, but that they didn't even know what their exposure was.

Now if, like under glass steagal, the investment banks were the only ones holding onto the CDOs, they would only be the ones exposed, and the ones who may need recapitalization / bankruptcy.

It would also have limited the size of the final leverage being taken on the bubble.

Also it's not political, my dyed in the wool republican finance teacher/boss spoke about how glass steagal was grudgingly useful, before the crisis hit. It isn't a theory propagated during the crisis, it's a theory substantiated by the crisis.

I like the idea of this but some visuals like graphs or meters would make it a lot more interesting.

I wrote a little monitoring tool like this for our servers. instead of the monitor using ssh command "recipes", it just hits API endpoints that return JSON. The monitor doesn't really care what the API is checking, it just expects that service to "neutralize" whatever metric it is checking into something that can be graphed. I think the same could be done if you have a specific data format that recipes are required to output. Those recipes that returned a common data format could then be graphed. Of course it takes a minor amount of programming to parse the output from "uptime" (for example) into formatted data, but once one person did it that could be available as a pre-buit recipe for all of your customers.

Our tool is pretty much hard-coded to our system but I had always thought it would be a cool thing to have. I've looked at other monitoring systems that seem to do that already but many of them are so complicated and none of us have the motivation to learn them. We're a typical team of programmers who have to be admins by default.
It would be nice to consider how auto-completion actually biases the real distribution of key-presses, e.g. I wouldn't expect closing parenthesis or brackets to be pressed as often as their opening counterparts.
I would wager that it is because when creating named variables, people tend to start with the low integers, like var1, var2, etc... And when using constants, they will often use maximums up to a threshold, like 999.99. So the middle range (5-8) is rarely used.
>Being the one person responsible 24/7 for a web app that can not go down is incredibly stressful. Doing that year after year is no joke. I think it changes your life as dramatically as having kids does. I'll never look at technical decisions the same way again, even though I know things will be less stressful in the future.

I think you might be exaggerating about the kids, (I mean, I don't have any of my own, but I'm the oldest of 6... really quite a bit older than all but one of them, so I think I have some idea as to what is involved.) but I really agree with the rest of that. Everyone that makes technical decisions should have to take a turn on the pager.

I don't know, should Mconald's make blood pressure medicine?
I was thinking the same thing until I looked at Perl, which has 4 being quite frequent.

The reason, of course, is that 4 is also $, which is used to denote a scalar in Perl.

Thus, because 5,6,7 correspond to %,^,&, which generally get used to a lesser degree for things like modulo, hashes, exponentiation and logical-and, they're used less.
Carl Sagan’s reading list
Ask HN: How you manage your to-do list? Are you happy with it?
Yesterday I created an Ask HN post where I asked HN community to share its thoughts on one of Paul Graham's frighteningly ambitious startup ideas "Replacing Email" in which he cosiders his inbox as a disastrously bad "todo list" and email as the way things get into it. Here is the link - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4228402

Reading the comments I realized there are two contrasting opinions; two groups of people - one that considers email as a to-do list and other who thinks it is just a communication protocol that is wrongly used by some people as a to-do list.

I would like to know from HN community, how do you actually manage your to-do list? Are you happy with it? If not, why?
Yes, they were quite strict in Greece as well but they were met with constant labor union strikes. I guess the main reason why we did better we had less to lose.

You are right about communism being the reason why you are rich and we are not but there was no choice for us (foreign army in our territory and we erased from map as independent country) so "embrace" is wrong word.
Quite a bit since there's other routes of distribution.

No because this heat map is clearly generated "offline". That is, this is built from a source-file dataset. An "online" dataset would be the output of a key logger.

Are you sure about that? If facebook got the rights for the music videos and would integrate them tightly with the rest of their site, chances are that youtube would start becoming irrelevant.

Not even slightly. Music videos are a market, but YouTube has hundreds of other reasons it is successful. It could lose music videos without breaking it's stride.

What I was saying is that the people who held the bonds may have received some interest but then the bonds went south and they made a net loss.

Also when a bond fails, wealth is destroyed - a bond is a promise of payment, upon which other things are built. If it defaults wealth is destroyed. Which is why having working rating agencies for bonds was and is a big deal.

I ageee and am not saying selling bad bonds Is inherently wealth destructive.

Anyway- I understand you are describing a way these things could be sold, is all.
How do you determine the top million sites if you don't index all the sites?
I get that this site(HN) has a lot of google fans, to the point that often completely illogical arguments are painfully maintained by characters that would rather gush loyalty than have an honest discussion.

But to those that think youtube is holding all the cards here need to look at what has undone so many other sites.

This is youtube's largest channel, and it's a large source of referral traffic, especially social sites like facebook.

It's google's prerogative to keep this kind of referral traffic, not only to maintain relevance, but also to be perceived as the first choice in online video. If the average teenager begins to associate another site as the first choice in video that would have follow on consequences as google would not be able to control the user experience. (Or tout Google+) Users will hunt around for the right video, they're not so loyal as to abstain from watching a music video because it comes from vimeo etc.

Youtube has been effective at shutting outtheir competition with exclusivity deals like these, a competitor could do the same to youtube - and this is a pretty desirable catalog that appeals to a very active online demographic, it would instantly make a competitor relevant, elevating them above the pool of B-grade youtube competitors.

This is pretty interesting for me as I just got back from a 2 week vacation where I had very little internet access. The vacation was great, but I honestly think I would have enjoyed it much more if I had internet access and could have done some work that needed done if I wanted to.

I'm running my own business and I take off time whenever I want to. I'll probably take 40-50 days off this year. That being said, I absolutely hate being completely disconnected. I also don't like not giving great customer service for my products. I am perfectly happy to take the day off and then answer a few emails when I get home.

Not having that option for the last two weeks was actually annoying to me, and I enjoyed the vacation less as a result. Spending a few minutes here and there and then getting back to vacation to me is better than just being cut off for an extended period.
The same could be said for the internet. You pay for the connection but websites still show you advertisements.
