I should add the error I'm getting is:

"An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments.

I realize that. And one of the reasons I look at the UK is because of the behavior of my country in the past decade. But some of the freedoms that the UK is trampling on just seem so fundamental to me despite what my own country is doing.

Thanks for sharing the numbers. Great to see the process by which you worked out how much it was costing you. Good wakeup call really. Shame it took you so long to cotton on.

Wow that's almost as much as we spend on The War in six months.
I think (I assume) his point was that when you have a complex system that's growing rapidly, it's difficult to predict what the next breaking point will be. Building in extra load gives you a window of opportunity: You discover the breaking point, turn off the extra load, re-engineer, and turn back on the canary so you can find the next breaking point.

In theory, you'd think you can do load-testing and simulations and capacity planning, and find these breaking points ahead of time. In practice, it's not always feasible, and this seems like a simple-enough hack that gets you much of the way there.
Certification costs money, and certification is a thing in many industries. I notice nobody is banging pots about ASE certification for automotive techs?

I mean, it's true, there is a difference here- the active "This software isn't certified" notification- but is that a critical distinction?

The real key here is to look at who does the selecting.

The danger comes from the self selected, if you have a crowd of random people and you choose one at random, then the chances that they have malicious intent are related to the incidence of that in the population; OTOH if you ask for volunteers, or worse, if someone spontaneously volunteers then the chance is way higher...

All you have to do is just type your keyword and select a word group and that’s it…This tool will present you thousands of domain names and will check availability of those domain names instantly….
If your system is complex, you don't know what your capacity is, or whether the curve has a sharp knee. Think of disk I/O; if 100K simultaneous users keep your disks 50% busy, how many simultaneous users can you actually support? The answer is not 200K; the answer is "it depends".
Does this have exactly the same problem as authenticating via UDID? Ie -- when you sell your old phone the new user can magically authenticate as you.

There's a lot about this Apple/EPEAT story that doesn't add up to me. I'd be fascinated to read some educated speculation as to what exactly happened, and why.

> I lean Libertarian and tend to think the market will take care of itself.

What AirBnB does is profit from an externality. When a company can profit by shifting risk to other parties who are not in contractual privity (and thus cannot bargain for consideration in return for assuming that risk), it's a classic case of where government regulation is required. AirBnB is a textbook example of this little bit of Econ 101. They shift the inherent risk of running a hotel business onto not just the hosts, but to the neighbors of the hosts, who are not parties to the rental contract.
You need to take more math before can understand this...start with some Linear Algebra to understand what a qubit is, maybe some abstract algebra to understand why fields are important, and then topology.
Yes, but the situation is reversed in television/radio news: the BBC is a pillar of objectivity, and the US market is dominated by cable news talking heads yelling at each other.
The AirBnB brothel sounds like an intriguing idea.

I wonder if it exists? The room with a higher than expected rate and veiled hints of extra "amenities"...
Do you have a better idea? Signature-based malware scanning is a joke and a half. I know CA"s can be gamed but unless you're proposing a better solution then don't complain.

But you can hold yourself to higher standards.

My family taught me to always do the right thing, which, most of the time, is neither the most convenient nor the most profitable.

It should be trivial to provide a free binary signing service that required some steps to prove the person (or website) is the person asking the binary to be signed (much like Google asks me to upload a file or setup a DNS record) and match the file signature to the URL of the download. Let's not forget every one who would rely on it already paid for a license of Windows.

Of course, this would probably kill download sites, but the internet would be better off without them anyway.

I can't reply to him directly, so I'll do it here. You wouldn't want to convict someone of murder, no. But you could certainly use it to generate leads.
Apparently, the JTAG debugging interface is exposed to the outside. You know, the one that should be turned off physically in the CPU itself through a blow fuse on production processors. The one critical interface where you don't even populate the headers and connectors on the finished boards.

As it stands, the only way to fix this is to exchange or repair all devices in circulation.
It's like saying: there is no need for zoning, if industrial activity creates noises/hazards, just sue!

There is a place for piecemeal litigation of individual disputes. There is also a place for regulation and zoning to maintain order, especially in a large, tightly-packed city.
I commend you for reviving and implementing a past good idea. The 60s and 70s are a treasure trove of visionary ideas that for whatever reasons didn't win big at the time. Some of them retain high potential. We should spend more time studying these things and less time chaotically generating superficial goop; novelty is not innovation.

That being said, I have had trouble figuring out what FBP is. I browsed through Morrison's book and just saw a bunch of box-and-line diagrams that my prejudices cause me to dismiss. I looked for good online resources about it and didn't find any. He doesn't seem to be the best articulator of his work. But I'm interested and open and want to get it. What do you recommend?
I'd love to see a Kickstarter project for this so that author can be funded and complete the implementation.
You might also consider Stylus Skeleton: https://github.com/archware/stylus-skeleton

I ported Skeleton CSS to Stylus one day using ideas from Stylus Boilerplate.
What exactly do you mean by "follow Github's lead"? Github had a paid tier and was profitable for years (and then raised money to expand), which sounds exactly like the plan for app.net.

I tend to disagree about short-term renters not looking after the place. As an Airbnb host I find that most of my guests leave the place cleaner than when I left it. I imagine this is because a) they are cognizant that it is the property of another person b) there is a reputation attached with their stay. I also have peace of mind that if the place gets trashed it will be covered by the million dollar guarantee.
Since those notices aren't required, I don't know whether they have any legal status at all.
From Kickstarter FAQ:

To be eligible to start a Kickstarter project, you need to satisfy the requirements of Amazon Payments:

—You are 18 years of age or older.
—You are a permanent US resident with a Social Security Number (or EIN).
—You have a US address, US bank account, and US state-issued ID (driver’s license).
—You have a major US credit or debit card.

So it's a big no-no for a lot of people who happen not to be residents of the US, like me.
Well I'm not at a Mac so I can't confirm but it's unfortunate to see such misinformation in this thread. I apologize for repeating it, I was too trusting of other comments.

What the Internet Actually Looks Like
I think HN does host an abundance of really smart folks.

The main irritant is that so many of them are nitpicky and/or snarky.

Anyone else noticed this?
Teaching is the best way to learn.
The difference is that ASE techs don't have to pay to certify each car they fix.
That's exactly my point. This is clearly an issue of business and not "pride", so the whole "pride" argument to shame someone into a business decision is really questionable.
Apple iOS in-app purchases hacked; everything is free
When asked if Apple could been located elsewhere:

"Apple is headquarter-centric....maybe it could have been in Boston, but Steve's feet would get cold when he walked around."
Are there github accounts for the 'team to do it' that contain the 'infrastructure'?
Noise issues are secondary to security and common area maintenance issues.
Verisign is a massive scam. Their SSL certs, for example are several hundred dollars. They get away with it because the big corporate-types have "heard" of verisign and "heard" they need security.
Well, here's a counterpoint. A bunch of people in my building use AirBnB to rent out units. These transient tenants are often noisy, dirty, and in one recent case, outright frightening, threatening long-term tenants (security had to kick him out of the building). Hotels are zoned differently than residential units for good reasons, it's not just big business squeezing out the small fries.

That's not to say I don't have full respect for you as a company. Just want you to be aware there is a counterpoint, and that people using your service should be following local regulations and leases. When they don't, it creates headaches for neighbors and resentment towards your company.

>> it still smells of Raketeering to me

Racketeering indeed! I am sure that was the goal of the SmartScreen filter in IE. Cert vendors and MS must have colluded to add this feature so that developers of all binaries are forced to buy certs. Right?
Although isn't it pretty trivial to change your password? If I was an iOS user, I would have no problems changing my password to something stupid, using this hack to get all sort of free crap for a few minutes, and then changing my password back to what I normally have it. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.
Sounds like a rather clever way of getting a bunch of people to enter their itunes login/password as they test this crap out.

Why screw over all the developers who had been using App.net? I assume that their App Landing page developer service is going to retire if this new product goes.
"before downvoting me, go and look at your deed. find the term "owner" anywhere on it."

Ok, I happen to have a deed right in front of me for a property having forgotten to put it in the safe deposit box.

On the first page appears the following:

"1. Transfer of ownership. The grantor grants and conveys (transfers ownership of) the property (called the "Property") described below to the Grantee. This transfer is made for the sum of..."

"3. Property. The property consists of the land and all the buildings and structures on the in land in the city of ..."

Seems pretty clear to me that this contradicts what you are saying. I am located in a state on the east coast USA.

Apple support systems down, all Apple Stores affected.
Apparently scheduled maintenance went awry and both instore and selfserve systems are affected.
This is one of those times I miss the upvote counter on HN. I think it's important for the makers of StartSSL to see just how many people agree with you that their interface completely sucks. Without the counter, it just seems like one person's opinion while I bet many people agree.
No, sorry, as someone that used Digg regularly on a daily basis, Digg killed Digg.

The day that Digg changed their interface was the day they lost a huge portion of their users, including me. I went back once more after that, and then never again.
None taken, I understand the difference quite well.

Any identity system should ideally be designed so the disclosure of identifying information is limited to parties having a necessary and justifiable place in a given identity relationship.

Neither BrowserID nor WAAD are justifiable parties.

My question relates to BrowserID regardless of the value to local.ch.

So, similarly, no offence, but saying "PKI" and "protocol" does not provide assurance. Does the BrowserID PKI implementation provide non-repudiation? Is it used to detect spoofing, tampering, to make a big secret a little secret? Does it in fact implement the protocol as specified?

I'm not saying it doesn't. I'm suggesting that until it's proven itself, BrowserID doesn't get my trust.
That's not true. We take reputation extremely seriously. Unlike traditional listing sites, every review is tied to a financial transaction. Additionally, we have many other mechanisms in place to prevent astroturfing.
So, you'll be competing with Pinterest?

the elders? darn whippersnapper.
Inspired by this post, I went to the website of a company I worked for back in 1999-2000. The login screen for the first "real" web app I ever wrote looks exactly like I left it.

The company was in a bind with some contractors who were developing a web app for them, and I had recently written my own personal HTML site. So, I bought "Teach Yourself ASP in 24 Hours", read it over the weekend, and put together a little prototype, to see if I could actually connect to the database and report the information they wanted. I ended up writing that website for them over the next two weeks. Once I deployed it (no IIS web admins at the company), I went back to my regular Clipper work.

I wouldn't be surprised if it hasn't been touched in years.

Part of me wants to be happy that it's lasted so long. But I'm also a bit disappointed that all the other 'cool' stuff I've worked on since then probably hasn't had one-tenth the use of that site.
Disclaimer: I'm a current Airbnb employee

I've traveled & stayed in Airbnbs quite a bit and have met the full range of hosts: those just doing it for fun & to meet people, working to cover their rent, allowing themselves the freedom to cut down work and finish their book, work on their startup, bring their B&B business back after 1 bad trip advisor review, and on and on. These are honest, good people with a variety of motivations. I've never stayed with a host that is doing it to screw over their landlord, spite the hotel industry or trouble their neighbors. Similarly, we aren't crafting our product to damn the man - we are driven by the lives we are enhancing by existing.

Regarding opening a brothel, bar or club in their dwelling? Think of it this way: if your neighbor has parties, all of the activities of those establishments can/will happen. As far as neighbors go some will not care and others will. If it is degrading your quality of life or endangering your wellbeing - then talk to the person and explain your side, file a complaint or whatever it takes to feel safe again.

As a side note, I am not a host. As I signed the lease my landlord said "I know you work for Airbnb and it's unfortunately not allowed in this building." I want to be host for a number of reasons but I've been told no, and that is fine. Though it is certainly a bummer.

As long as you know that you don't know it you're on the right track.
Slightly OT, but the "Nothing to Hide"/Privacy article is yet another example of "how not to write an abstract":

>In this short essay, written for a symposium in the San Diego Law Review, Professor Daniel Solove examines the nothing to hide argument. When asked about government surveillance and data mining, many people respond by declaring: "I've got nothing to hide." According to the nothing to hide argument, there is no threat to privacy unless the government uncovers unlawful activity, in which case a person has no legitimate justification to claim that it remain private. The nothing to hide argument and its variants are quite prevalent, and thus are worth addressing. In this essay, Solove critiques the nothing to hide argument and exposes its faulty underpinnings.

In other words, "there's a common argument out there, and I'm gonna refute it". Does that help me decide whether to read the paper? No, because it gives no hint about specific part of the argument it's going to refute, or what "underpinning" it's going to claim is "faulty".

This kind of crap is extremely prevalent in abstracts, and in people's ability to summarize and justify recommendations.
It's hard to see how it's different in any material way from Ouya, for example.

It's a project with a definite end milestone, with a product that will continue on after.

Did they actually ask Kickstarter?
Seeing a speedy Ruby implementation in PyPy would be a tipping point, I think. :)
As mentioned, there is the opcode cache. I'm also thinking about FastCGI setups, where PHP is running the whole time, just waiting to execute code requests.
(Not at all relevant to recycling, but $200 ain’t a bad price. You can expect to pay about $150 for batteries from other manufacturers, and those are often not as high-quality batteries. Batteries are expensive. In general, not just from Apple. It just sucks that you have to send your damn laptop in and not be able to access it for some time.
It is relevant in exactly the way that I said: we would be going broke more slowly, because we would be spending less on health care.

However, to address your question directly, look at debt to GDP ratios:

http://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DatasetCode=GOV_DEBT

The US is in the middle of the pack. Countries with more sane health care systems and better levels of debt include Ireland, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Canada, Sweden, and Australia. I don't see any reason to believe that they're being driven bankrupt by their health care systems.
Except, of course, that there's no way to tell as an ordinary customer whether your bank is genuinely secure or just following cargo-cult security until they get hacked and lose all their money. There's also no way to make sure that your bank isn't using fractional reserve banking until there's a bank run and it fails.

And that's assuming people are rational and wise. They're not. For example since the Bitcoinia failure, the free market has lead to a whole bunch of Bitcoin users investing in something that has all the hallmarks of a ponzi scheme and accusing anyone who points this out of trolling and slandering the guy running it.
> Property can be damaged, but it can also be insured.

You are missing the point. I don't want common property in my condo building to be damaged, period. It just spoils my day.
People won't move off of MtGox for a simple reason: it has by far the best liquidity.

The only way for another exchange to get a foothold would be to offer similar liquidity, which would mean taking the other side of most trades themselves. This would be very risky and they would need deep pockets.
