Thanks, this is similar in spirit to my thinking. Honestly I expected more of the 'learn to code' kind of sentiment that I got over twitter. :)
I don't understand why everyone assumes any and all spying the NSA does is used against US citizens. None of these articles ever mention USSID 18. Why is that?
typically the original investors get their cash back (no more, no less). there's no reason an acquiring company would want their stock in the hands of random investors they have no prior relationship with.
Rotten Tomatoes aggregates reviews from several different sources to determine a final score. Amazon mainly just employs user reviews.

> They can't make me agree by presenting me with checkbox. They can't prevent me from using their interface if I don't agree.

False. From the EFF: https://www.eff.org/wp/clicks-bind-ways-users-agree-online-t...

> Given the emphasis placed on a user’s assent, courts favor finding a binding agreement where the user engages in affirmative conduct acknowledging the terms of a TOS. For instance, a genuine clickwrap agreement, in which a service provider places a TOS just adjacent to or below a click-button (or check-box), has been held to be sufficient to indicate the user agreed to the listed terms. In these cases, requiring the user to click “I Agree,” after calling attention to the terms and affording the user an opportunity to review them, demonstrates the user agreed to the terms. However, courts generally do not require that you actually have read the terms, but just that you had reasonable notice and an opportunity to read them.

This includes colleges with football teams and Olympic swimming pools. As others have noted, education credits in WA tend to be cheap when it's just the education.

Not that it matters for home state advantage - their warehouse workers are spread across the country, not in the most north-western point of the continental US.
Pretty neat, I did surprisingly well.
Would be nice if you could see just how far you were off besides the color changing after you hit the button. A different circle on the color wheel, for example, showing where you picked and where the color actually is.
Amazon is user reviews only. We like RottenTomatoes aggregate from professional critics like NYTimes & select bloggers to create a book recommendation of higher quality.

I love Trigger.io! Great work guys!
I would say it is a mistake to assume either way without good reason. In some respect humans are very much like other species, and in other respects very unlike those same species. When we are around animals we inevitably feel a closeness that can cloud our judgement and make us assume motives that may or may not be there. It is bad science to assume the motives are what we feel they must be.

I know that some of the pentest training courses specifically use aeoi.org as a target. Not for actual attacks, but for conducting reconnaissance and target enumeration. I wonder if someone decided to see just how vulnerable the enumerated systems were.
That's like arguing that you thought it was legal to kill someone using radioactive isotopes and therefore you had no illegal intent. Patent infringement is defined by the corpus of protected inventions and being unaware of the locus of infringing actions is not a defence against infringement.

If you make sufficient disclosure part of the patent system then this is the only way to do things really. If you don't require it then patents are worthless for the [general populous of the] state.
That's a really great question, and a lot of people have asked it. So we had Jason write a blog post to explain how we count visits.

TL;DR "We take the number of unique IP addresses seen in a 24-hour period as the number of “visits” to the site during that period. The number of “visits” in a given month is the sum of those daily visits during that month."

When I search on Google for "Pittsburgh Community Foundation" the closest I find is "The Pittsburgh Foundation":

http://pittsburghfoundation.org/

Is that who you are referring to? They do claim to be a community foundation.[0] However, I'm confused, because they also claim to be "a tax-exempt public charity" and that "donors are central to our mission"[0]. They also have a staff.[1]

I'm having a hard time understanding your point, I guess.

GENI: Build the New Internet (A Video)
A new “social ad unit” will be created at Facebook or Twitter in the next 12 months that will manage to be far more profitable than current ad units, not piss off users, and immediately be embraced by advertisers.

I call them "tweets". Seriously, most tweets are ads, so just charge people to send them. If you have over ~1,000 followers then you are a de facto marketer and you could pay per tweet per active follower.
What causes it to show 3.14? I got it 2 or 3 times.

Very cool. One feature that RT has that you don't have yet is the ability to see all reviews by a reviewer/institution.

Actually, being able to see all books by the author would be especially useful. And it's a view more particularly essential than it is for RT (since an author has a more singularly important role in the quality of a work, compared to the actors/studios/directors/writers/producers/financial backing that go behind a successful movie)...being able to see an average for an author's books, or even a sparkline (to see if he/she is going downhill) would add a lot of value with minimal effort.

Related to that: I know it's kind of important to people to see the blurb, which necessitates a multi-column layout for the listed reviews. But I'd rather see it in a tabular format, with Reviewer Name, Date, Rating, and then a long field for 20-30 word blurb. It's easier to see distribution of reviews in a tabular format.
Ok, but what does it do? In one sentence.
Foreign companies/persons can get Swedish patent protection, eg by application to WIPO using their original patent in the US as a priority document.
Looks nice. Is it possible to have separate categories for Science Fiction and Fantasy?

EDIT: Also, you should put the author's name wherever the title is displayed. (eg. in the subgenre pages)
This sound like a good idea and I'm sure it makes anyone American absolutely brim with patriotic pride. It's also a completely idiotic thing to do. Creating malware takes a lot fewer resources than creating real weapons and the US and West in general is far more vulnerable to malware than Iran or most small countries due to the economy's greater mechanization. What happens when there is blowback?

The Best CDN for jQuery in 2012
I'd love to make our docs more clear on this. If you have a pointer to what is confusing we'll fix it up.

To be clear, for every machine type, we are offering a HT per virtual CPU. So that means that an n1-standard-8 instance gets 4 physical cores and 8 hyperthreads. (We are also offering 3.75GB of RAM and ~440G of ephemeral disk per vCPU).
This interests me greatly cause I am trying to sell and then buy a house. The problem I see is that I can't tell your app that I don't want a down payment. I qualify for the VA loan which requires no down payment.
By your logic I could call memcached a "schemaless Redis" and it would be not only fair, but apt. Give me a break.
Ah, so 'with' is a clearer syntax for exception handling, that's what I was missing. Thanks to you, masklinn and graue for clearing that up.
Nice UI!

Two minor comments:

1) Sometimes the same book shows up in different columns (e.g. Bestsellers and Recent Fiction). This feels redundant (and possibly unintentional?)

2) There's a Sign Up link. What does signing up do? Is it to write reviews? Subscribe to new books? Something else?
Very cool, although I have some issues (latest Chrome on Win7) : http://i.imgur.com/KYWjk.png
It doesn't do this on every logo though...

I would kind of like for Redis to be used as a Spatial Redis. Would antirez consider adding an rtree/kd-tree/whatever-else type if a good pull request for one was available, or is that the sort of thing that's meant to be done "above" Redis (by, say, geohashing coordinates into scores for a zset)?

Alright, I'll be the one to say it: all of these have been available as PhoneGap plugins for a long, long time.

This is the problem with building a paid-for subscription service like this- no-one is going to help you. By the nature of being open source, PhoneGap has a ton of developers willing to donate their time to extend the existing functionality in any which way you could want.
Well, that's a fair point, but I don't think that right matters much unless and until they exercise it. A better argument (against myself) is that they're apparently willing to sell some type of access to your posts for use on mobile apps.

Still, I think there's something admirable in the simplicity and transparency of interacting with Craigslist. What you see is pretty much exactly what you get.
Watching open source project discussions to see how people interact there. Look at a higher qualifications units and see what is covered, eg the HND I just finished included project management, forensics and business structure.
You were not persuaded. Fair point. Blaming the metaphor is probably going too far. Perhaps you weren't the intended audience?
The actual page should be performing better now.
I'd love to hear what people think the standard nomenclature here is. I've been arguing with our PM as to call these things virtual cores or virtual CPUs. Our API uses guestCpus.

This stuff is very confusing and I'd love to find the right way to communicate it clearly.
You have conclusively exhausted the possibilities.
Thanks for the screencap, it's a small bug that should resolve itself once you click on the colorpicker. Will look more into.

Then we start seeing "follower bombs" where the goal is to increase someone's number of followers until they are forced to pay for Twitter.

This is really the most professional solution in my opinion. Once payment is past due, then all work stops. If you have been consulting for a while, you can easily change gears and focus on something else.
Nice! Got two 100s and an average of 78%
Cause its awesome :)
@varikin -- right now we don't source VA loans, however that is certainly on our near-term roadmap.

Also, the current product is limited to "first time home-buyers". Re-financing, buying a second home, and more are all coming very shortly.
Yeah the gradients are an interesting one because by default it's just the alpha channel so "Black" is technically the 100 pointer but the algorithm needs to be more lenient along the gray scale. Sorry about that, will correct.
"Let us therefore create a new guild of programmers without the class distinctions that raise an arrogant barrier between programmers and computer scientists!

random honest critical 5 minute feedback:

The reviews are below the fold on my 1050px height. I wondered what was so special about the site before randomly scrolling.

The justified text with the font for the description is hard to read and ugly.

Encoding issues in http://idreambooks.com/newbooks/140-Drift ? Lots of issues on other entries too. Did you scrape other sites for this, not using a legal and well-formed source...?

Thumb-up/-down icons are pretty much not disginguishable for me. Looked like rotated stars on first glance.

The "overall rating" is not intuitive, I only noticed it when I checked what else was on the page. Rottentomatoes is not better for either though, I always have to think what they might mean before I get it (the symbols).
This makes no sense. You agree to the TOS when you post information to CL, not when you are just browsing for listings; that submitted information is what is bound by the TOS above. Also if you aren't the one checking the agree box, who is?

From what you've written above it sounds like you believe any contract between two parties is absurd in the extreme.
From the Press Release: the Company sold 26.0 million iPhones in the quarter, representing 28 percent unit growth over the year-ago quarter. Apple sold 17.0 million iPads during the quarter, an 84 percent unit increase over the year-ago quarter. The Company sold 4.0 million Macs during the quarter, a two percent unit increase over the year-ago quarter. Apple sold 6.8 million iPods, a 10 percent unit decline from the year-ago quarter
To put a slightly finer point on it: sites like this are incredibly relational. Everything (almost) should be clickable for a collection view.

Scott Adams coined the term confusopoly to the business practise of making things so complex it is hard to work out what is really going on: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/confusopoly

This is a classic example along with cell phone carriers and retailers (try to work out special offers).
You seem to be straining with "not optimal" phrasing here. It was only for mobile apps. PadMapper is a website. Non-starter.
Hey there. If you have any good thoughts on improving oauth2 you should ping me:) I am posting a new spec in a week and since you know a lot of providers now we could work together.
It really bugs me when people lop off parts of sentences to make a quote in a different context. What he actually wrote was "it's downright shameful for this guy to run around promoting the idea that open devices are designed to enable piracy". The idea that open devices are designed to enable piracy should not really be one of those "well, that is your opinion" type of things. It is a broad generalization that is flat wrong because... well... it is such a broad generalization. Open devices are designed to... uh... be open. To enable user control. To enable hobbyist tinkering. To enable community help. Being that the "enable piracy" idea is dead wrong, promoting it is dangerous & harmful... thus worthy of shame.
Yes, the key point would be unauthorized, CL is going to have to prove that the PadMapper's usage was unauthorized (by the owner of the data)
The redundancy is unintentional...need to fix. If you sign up, you get to add books to your 'Reading List' (link under book show page image), enter giveaways and receive a newsletter with top rated books. We plan on adding more features...
I love Craigslist, and have used it for years successfully. It is the type of tool I love using the web for - simple, functional, and document based.

All of this anti-Craigslist sentiment makes me sad.
Looks fantastic! I will have to make it next year :)
Big Fish unveils $7.99 per month cloud gaming service

I never made the argument that these companies were looking for successful exits. I'm not sure how you read that into my post. I were merely saying there are some companies that are started even when the founder knows there is a very low chance of defending the company legally. This article is one such point. One that comes to mind where the founder was actively looking to be sued was the OnLive Windows competitor.

Some do it to prove a point, some do it to prove that the market exists.
Cool. I understand there is a lot of account for. Other than that gripe, this looks very cool.
Right. Early in learning golang, many people will get tired of typing:

..., err := doStuff()
if err != nil {
return err
}

The usual text editor features, like templates, reduce the typing, but the point is that the programmer must think, each time, about what they want to do when a function fails. This can become either a really good habit, or a distraction, depending on your perspective and problem domain.

When people say Go poor or no error handling, this is probably what they are complaining about. The fundamental properties offered by try/catch/throw are unpacked by Go into defer, recover and multiple value returns and type switches. Go's designers make the argument that when used thoughtlessly, exceptions encourages error handling antipatterns.
Well, that's meaningless, given that they're in that US. By that logic, the working conditions at most white-collar jobs in the US would also be below your standards, as many EU countries require more vacation, shorter hours (France) and other work rules that don't apply here in the US.

You can't expect Amazon or Walmart to adhere to the laws of a country a facility's not located in. If you think the laws aren't strict enough, then change the laws.

Mixpanel is looking for a Frontend Engineer
Hi HN,

I'm looking for excellent engineers to join the team at Mixpanel. We've built the most advanced analytics platform available for mobile & the web - tools that allow you to dive deep into product usage patterns, understand conversion rates, and understand user retention. Nobody else comes close to our current offering.

Here are the facts:

* Revenue is in the millions
* We're cash-flow positive
* We've raised $12M from top-tier investors: YC, Max Levchin (PayPal), Sequoia, and Andreessen Horowitz
* Example customers: BitTorrent, Path, Capcom, OkCupid, Jawbone
* We're not interested in getting acquired. It's go big or go home.

We've built a lot of stuff with not a lot of people, but we want to move even faster..

On the engineering & product side of things:

* We mostly write Javascript, Python, and C
* We wrote our own datastore (thus the C) & use it to power all of our analytics infrastructure
* We ship code many times a day
* We care very deeply about design & user experience

We define frontend engineering differently than most companies - for us, it means everything from the API servers on down through JS and CSS. It's closer to full-stack web development than anything else.

So, you'll get to touch a bit of everything - but the biggest chunk is Javascript. We write an enormous amount of JS (it's currently 55.2% of the codebase) and it ain't your momma's JS. We've built a lot of fairly serious JS infrastructure and it's been critical to our success.

For those who like bulleted lists, Frontend Engineers at Mixpanel work on:

* Revamping JS application architecture
* Helping us decide on tools
* Building out new infrastructure
* API design & implementation
* Building client libraries for many platforms
* Building data visualization & reporting tools

Culturally, we have a minor case of NIH - we've built our own datastore, monitoring, documentation management, frontend framework, memcache client, and more. If something doesn't fit our needs, we're happy to build it ourselves, and we're looking for others who feel the same way.

On that note, if you:

* Care deeply about code quality
* Aren't afraid to build their own tools
* Hack on stuff for fun. We love side projects.
* Are ready to really throw yourself into something

and the above sounds interesting, please get in touch. I'd love to talk to you.
