Rackspace Cloud has servers in London, which may be a better option.
Here's a good breakdown of the license fee:

And you can often still find the $1 paint brush if you're willing to look outside your typical field of vision (eg. above or below the "home row" that a normal sized human sees at first glance).

They prefer to sell you the $1 brush over selling nothing at all (because you're shopping elsewhere, after feeling ripped of once).
This is remarkably easy to crack. Much easier than captchas.

A simple fix would be to add Consolas as the first font in the list. It looks almost the same as Inconsolata, comes standard with Vista/7 and newer versions of Office (including the "Viewers"), and looks good on both Windows and Linux.
This is an unexpected reaction to this post.

For a moment I thought the post was an original call for hiring.

I'm not an expert in such things but the idea that he would do great things doesn't sound like narcisism. Narcisism is beeing in love with oneself.

What the OP describes is an internal drive to push oneself forward when the oppurtunity is given. A seed of entrepreneur, hero, leader,.. I guess not everyone has such strong incentive. He expect it and will find it normal if it happens. Which is good thing.

He expressed his frustration that it didn't happen yet and start to wonder if he is not wasting his life.

I find it very interesting from an AI perspective. We can clearly see a fundamental drive of the human behavior.

It's not much different from the love drive we have when young. We are also frustrated when we have to wait for it to happen. This frustration is shared and contributes to overcome all our fears and natural protections. Instead of waiting overwelmed by the frustration, one should prepare oneself for this moment to be attractive and make it a success.

So to the OP I would suggest to use the frustration as a push to prepare yourself to do great things.
He experience a valuable and positive drive. It's normal. He should now prepare himself for that to have the maximum competence when this happens. He should also keep in mind that the great thing that he is expected to do may happen when he is 50 or 70. Thus don't wait for it to happen, because it might not be soon. It's like love. Finally he should also keep in mind that he'll also have his part of the job to do for it to happen. I.e becoming President of the uSA. It doesn't fall upon you like that.

I wrote an OCR for the previous generation of recaptcha (the one that preceded this one) that cracked it with a 92% success rate.

Added bonus: it would give them a natural way to advertise the App Store.

Oh, and it is not "if the user is subscribed". The installer would have to check all user directories. And then, it would be a (small) privacy invasion to gather that information. Some sysadmins, on principle, would not want to know that at least one of their users subscribed to RSS feeds.
You just diff each frame and keep the parts that don't change much. Very simple to solve.
I don't live in the US so was tempted to be snarky about abroad being a big place etc. but I think it's better to put a more constructive reply with some context. On a visit to Kilmainham Jail I had a chance to read some of the letters written by the young men who were about to be shot by the British for their part in the rebellion. The thing that struck me, apart from their bravery was the fact that they had a genuine cause to believe in.

And that I suppose is my point, if you don't have some Nobel cause then what drives you on? If the world doesn't provide some ready made cause then your motivation has to be intrinsic, the only problem is that depending on what your goals are (money, fame, being a better dad etc.) you can end up feeling a little grubby about your choices especially if you don't succeed.
This is all way too complicated. All of the service-discovery you need can be encoded in the WWW-Authenticate header.

The only problem that OAuth really solves is coming up with some way for a third party to get an arbitrary set of revocable credentials that authenticate the (user, app) pair instead of just having every app use user credentials directly (because that's a phishing hazard). All we need is a standardized mechanism for getting those credentials, and then we can all continue to use Basic and Digest authentication over HTTPS.

OAuth 2.0 almost does that. It actually allows it, but it just has a little too much extra cruft. If you strip out refresh tokens, replace Bearer and MAC authentication with Basic and Digest authentication, mandate HTTPS, and add a couple of qop-options to the WWW-Authenticate header on the 401 response (see RFC 2617) that identify the authorization and token endpoints, you'd have a working standard, and it would be childsplay for anyone to implement it.

EDIT: So the 401 response would looks something like:

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="foo", oauth2_auth="<URI>", oauth2_token="<URI>"
It worries me that security is still not a big part of this. I hope most people don't miss the fact that it's simple because it's insecure? Good luck to them solving it without ruining what's a nice idea.

I'm actually quite surprised to see so many posts on HN discussing ways to pirate Olympic content. The BBC is restricted to UK IP addresses for a reason. Every household in Britian pays the equivalent of around $230 per year for the right to watch live television, whether it be on your phone, laptop or TV. The BBC has a finite amount of resources to spend on hosting online content & if the whole World logs on to watch the Olympics it could end up spoiling it for those of us who've paid for the service. I can understand the Americans frustration with NBC (or whatever broadcaster is showing the Olympics in your region) but if you really do want to watch the BBC, the least you can do is pay for it https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/pay-for-your-tv-licence/

List comprehensions are extremely handy. I'm sure it's probably hard to come up with simple examples without using something that can be done better another way, but the last few example could be done with map() and itertools.chain(). I'm surprised itertools isn't mentioned in the Python documentation he linked to.
This is a pretty pedestrian non-technical article about javascript frameworks that have essentially zero market share. Don't get me wrong, they're both totally awesome and anyone interested should check them out. But the article itself is pretty worthless.

The problem is generating enough unique questions. If you only have 10 questions, they can just hard-code them.

That was the problem with all the "kitten captchas" etc. Very limited image database.
That's ridiculous. reCAPTCHA isn't making you do more work, it's just making work you have to do anyway useful. The benefit Google gets from the OCR work is microscopic, and the world gets old books and New York Times articles.
If that is the case anyone can work around the patent for the cost of a hardware button.

A forum I run in Ireland doesn't have a need for Captchas. The forum is very regional and niche - no genuine foreign visitors - so we blocked every country apart from Ireland and the UK from posting comments. Result - no spam.

This wouldn't work for many forums, but if it's local, you really don't need to open it to the world.

Security stability and scalability are the hard parts.
Agree with this.

I measured my mood twice a day for 2 months using a similar app on Android. I tracked 10 variables on a +/-10 point scale I think (excitement, contentment, anxiety, etc.)

Turns out my mood just oscillates around a baseline of about 7/10 pretty much irrespective of what's going on in my life.

It was an interesting experiment but I didn't see the point carrying on doing it long term.
By that logic people I think people should also shred newspapers to make sure someone isn't reading them for free after they have finished them and then soak them in water and add a little sand and oil to make them impossible to recycle and unusable as fuel in furnaces. And stop releasing source code, at least under any sane license.

If it doesn't add extra burden to you (assuming there would just be another captcha that didn't end up feeding googles scanning effort), why do you care?
Want to Live Happily Ever After? Stop Nicotine

Smokers claim that cigarettes have become such an essential part of their daily routine that now it’s impossible to stop smoking. Stressed or bored, in pain or for pleasure grab a cigarette and all your problems will vanish into thin air! That’s something which almost all smokers commonly believe in and practically do it as well. Got laid off from work? Partner just left? Hurt? Feeling lonely? Or smoking just because there’s nothing else to do? What excuse do you have? While you’re smoking your worries away or letting time pass, there might be a small child around you, cheerfully playing with his toys or may be cluelessly looking at you. Has your wife ever asked you to stop regular smoking for the sake of your children?

Passive tobacco smoke contains more than 4000 chemical compounds. Dear Daddy, if you don’t stop smoking tobacco now you will die.

Even pregnant women are at a risk of birth complications when exposed to passive conventional smoking. Either the baby will be delivered premature or he will have low weight. Secondhand tobacco smoke slows down the growth rate in children.

Yep all are effective. Security is something meteor is currently developing and is in very early stages. To shit on them now, when they are still in active development of a product they don't even claim is production ready... is like punching babies in the face. It is completely worthless.
Eh, that issue is not really an issue. Server-side functions are actually a surprisingly elegant way of handling security. Basically, instead of calling Users.remove({}), .insert(), .update(), etc., you create functions on the server that are called from the client. That way, the server controls what you can and can't edit. The end result is still very simple, because you're just calling functions like user_login(), send_message(), etc. instead of operating on the database directly on the client-side.
