Why do people keep doing these things in new frameworks? It has been known that it is not secure to receive pickles from clients for many years and yet the same mistake keeps being repeated.
This doesn't appear to be at all related to TacoCopters which was set up by Star Simpson and Scott Torborg.

Show HN: Mobify.js, a client side adaptation framework for going mobile
Hey HN! We would love to hear your thoughts on our new client-side adaptation framework called Mobify.js. We've worked extremely hard on this product for a year and a half now, and we recently went open source with it. We use it internally to create mobile websites for our customers, and we would love for the rest of the world to use it too. Here is our first blog post on it: http://www.mobify.com/blog/introducing-mobify-js/. Once again, feedback would be awesome - go ahead and be brutally honest :)
test it out and do some a/b split testing :)

A recurring model is optimal.
I would guess that they are going to use a commercial or open-source autopilot like Ardupilot. The GPS tech on these are pretty good for hobby/recreation but I highly doubt they are writing their own GPS/autopilots for this. Frankly, I just don't think the accuracy/reliability is there yet for these RC helicopters to effectively deliver goods. (Speaking from experience and my own multi-copters)

EDIT: For those curious:

Really liked this article. It pulls together a number of things I had heard before with some new ones. We are all quite a long way from the economist's idealised rational actor.

I released my first real experiment http://itunes.com/apps/fastlists (yes it's another lists app but it is currently free, with no ads and has a couple of useful features making it especially useful for reusable lists for shopping, packing etc. The design is functional rather than beautiful).

I'm currently adding some in-app purchase options to test the reactions of the users.

My current idea is to offer the following options: (price tiers equate to $1 or local equivalents I think)

1) No-ads (tier 1 price)

2) Privacy - No anonymous usage collection.(tier 1 price)

3) Raise item limit (by 100 to 200 items) (tier 1 price)

4) Unlimited items (tier 3 price)

5) Everything including future in-app features (tier 5)

For me option 5 is important because I hate feeling I will need to keep paying bit by bit for something. It will include everything that doesn't need server side support and expense. I actually hope most customers choose this, the other items are there largely to justify the pricing of this item.

Ads and anonymous usage monitoring will come in releases after the purchases have become available as I want to give people the option to opt out first and for ads I will probably make the first month of use add free to try and get the user stuck in. I may also add some alternate skins as in-app purchases too later although that is lower priority than using the iOS 6 social framework as a way to try to get users promoting the app for me by sharing lists.

There is currently no item limit so I will allow existing users who installed before the limits were introduced to have unlimited items on the devices they have already installed on.

At the moment this is just a small scale test because I haven't done any promotion for the app yet so the current numbers of users is small although the reviews are currently very good (4.5* average in US and UK).

Any thoughts on the pricing model? Or the app?

Call centre: Can you please provide the answer to the secret question.

Social engineer: sigh, I know this is going to sound really strange, but I just pick random words when I set up secret questions, and I'm not sure what I used with you. If it helps, it will just be a set of random words that make no sense...

Call centre: Ok, I've spoken to my supervisor and he said that, seeing as you kind of know what it's like, and seeing as you have the name and address, I can reset your password. What number would you like me to SMS it to?
The trick is that the cat can create and destroy angular inertia at will by moving its legs towards or away from the axis of rotation. Think of the front and back of the cat as being separate rotational systems with the same axis. The first thing the cat does is increase the angular inertia of the back half and decrease the angular inertia of the front half. Now the system is unbalanced. The cat twists the front half around while the back half, with a much higher angular inertia, moves very little. Next, the cat reverses the roles of front and back by decreasing the angular inertia of the back half and increasing the angular momentum of the front half. Now the back half moves rotates all the way around while the front half moves very little.

A linear analogy would be a two balls connected by a spring oscillating in a vacuum. If one ball is much lighter than the other -- like a football connected to a cannonball -- it moves a lot, while the cannonball moves very little. Let's say the football and the cannonball are on a football field (a frictionless, vacuum-filled football field, of course.) The cannonball is on the 50 yard line, staying roughly stationary, and the football is oscillating back and forth between the 49 yard line and the 47 yard line. The system can't go anywhere if it starts with zero linear momentum, because the mass (linear inertia) of the balls remains fixed. But imagine you can change the masses of the balls at will. When the football reaches the 47 yard line, you swap the masses of the balls, so the football becomes very heavy and the cannonball becomes very light. Now the football stays almost stationary at the 47 yard line, and the cannonball oscillates between the 48 yard line and the 50 yard line. When the cannonball reaches the 48 yard line, you swap the masses so that the cannonball is once again very heavy and the football is very light. Now the football is oscillating between the 47 yard line and the 45 yard line. By swapping the masses repeatedly you can move down the field all the way to the end zone.

Because of conservation of mass/energy, you can't actually do that trick with linear inertia, but you can do it with angular inertia. The front and back half of the cat are like the football and the cannonball, and the cat controls the angular inertia of each half by tucking and extending its legs. When the cat is upside down, it increases the angular of inertia of its back half by extending its back legs, and it decreases the inertia of the front half by tucking its front legs. Its back half acts like the cannonball, and its front half acts like the football. That allows it to twist its front half around while the back half stays almost stationary. Once the front half is right side up, it extends its front legs and tucks its back legs, effectively swapping the football and the cannonball. In zero gravity, a cat could twist itself around that way as many times as it wanted: just like the football and the cannonball working their way down the football field, except that it wouldn't violate any physical laws.

No allegation was made by the claimed victims. They were seeking advice on the possibility to force Assange to take a STD test, and a prosectuter independently decided to start the prosecution after reading the report. One of the victims has gotten so tired of it all that she now refuses to testify, and refuses to sign any old statements she made in regards to the whole affair.

Perhaps it's just a poor video for an otherwise awesome project, but it just comes across as a load of disconnected ideas.

What's the 3D dome for?
How does the drone delivery work?
It has a social-good and humanitarian angle - awesome, but I don't see how printing 3D statues and a dome fit into that...

I guess the video just left me wanting more explanation.

Look this isn't Reddit where you can just make up any nonsense.

If you are going to make statements like this have some proof.
Actually they'd look barren. You can't have a lawn and a plowed and planted plot at the same time.

I engage in subsistence farming myself.
Actually you're wrong.

Only 4% of people recently polled have no opinion on whether the TSA is doing a good job or not.
Ask HN: Good iOS Tutorials?
I have started learning iOS app development from Apple's developer resources but those look like to be designed for a bit more smart audience. I googled for good iOS tutorials but most of them seem outdated and in no way match the current XCode UI.
How do you learn iOS application development?
What tutorials did you use?
>> but I think our only hope is for an "incident" that shows how pointless this all is.

That would be held up as proof to clearly indicate that the current measures do not go far enough. More tax$$ would be spent, more rights destroyed.

This is how classic terrorism expects to 'win' - By forcing reactionary measures that oppress the populace to the point they rise up and liberate themselves. It rarely works historically and certainly won't in the US.

I'm using the same setup except xmonad instead of dwm. Aside from installing GHC as a dependency, I've have no need to mess with Haskell to use xmonad. And unless you're doing something crazy/brilliant with dwm, I'd doubt you'd need to hit the Haskell books either.

I used to prefer Awesome in part for the tweak-it-while-it's-running appeal of Lua configuration, although I rarely used it. Now xmonad has the same runtime configurability via GHC, with recompilation taking a second at most.
I read your response, but I will only partially bite on your bait.

I don't know, and frankly don't care, why you assume I have forgotten about Reagan stunt. I hope you haven't forgotten that Constitution says that all men should be capable of being armed equally as the Government itself. Clearly we are not there anymore, but I hope we will never be in a situation where the only legal way of standing against burglar's .357 is with a plastic knife...
You will ALWAYS need a TSA. Every country has one.

The question is in what form it is and what its role is.
It's anecdotal, mostly, but I've always seemed to have more issues getting it up-and-running. Of course, there's also confirmation bias ("See? This is harder!") and also just the fact that I got used to awesome-wm as my first tiling WM. Sort of like vim/emacs or Ruby/Python.

The biggest issue for me is that although xmonad and awesome are both completely scriptable/configurable -- one of the benefits of having conf files that are "alive" -- xmonad is configured through Haskell while awesome is done through Lua.

To me -- a security guy who can sling code from scripting languages all over the place, but doesn't do any functional programming -- Lua is much easier to understand and use. Not everyone feels this way, and a lot of the configuration is just setting variables anyway.

I know many people who swear by xmonad, some of whom even used it at my suggestion, so please don't take this as a "beware" message. Try both out, and see which you like! :)
I'm a family medicine doc in a practice with several other docs. Why do you ask?

I already read your site's security pages, which in large measure do NOT address the questions I've asked here.

However, I believe you're right - neither I nor the software folks I consult with here in Bay Area will be interested in using your tool. Good luck to you.
yep, some quite insightful epsiodes in there. I would recommend anyone to watch one of the latest episodes.
> Does anyone want to speculate on the evolutionary reason behind that interesting pattern on its back?

More than likely, it's a sexual display/indicator without any "practical" purpose related to survival. Like a peacock's tail. If you're really interested in evolutionary biology, read Darwin's original work. You'll be surprised to learn that most adaptations have little to do with survival.
When Paul Graham has instruments of state power and coercion at his disposal then the use of encrypted and undisclosed will be relevant. I do not wish for the state to have access to this information. It being located in an undisclosed location and being encrypted suggests to me that should the government be ordered by a court to reveal the extent of this information it will be hard to determine if full disclosure has occurred. The use of these words my be needlessly alarmist but I don't see evidence of this. The government ought not be engaging in this and it is worthwhile to be alarmed and to try to get others to be alarmed.
If your IDE doesn't do isomorphic refactorings reliably it is really just an editor.
When will be the day when this sort of a thing gets shipped with the default vim installation?

The reasons I say this is every time somebody brings up the apparent ancientness of vim/emacs people point to something like this. I agree that all this is doable, but you must realize tailoring a vanilla installation with plugins to do all this is really difficult for most programmers. Especially if you want newbies to start with using vim.

If people wanted to use an IDE, they would use an IDE- There are plenty available these days. All it takes is going to go to the eclipse website, and downloading one. Why in the world would any body spend hours(days?) hunting all these basic plugins which are must have for today's software development needs?

Somethings like auto complete in ST2 looks to just give what the user wants. In vim you would be doomed press ctrl-n as and when you need it, but it happens automatically with ST2.All these modern GUI based editors are basically these many tiny optimization on old concepts .There is also that file browser that gets opened by default on the left hand side. The minimap on the right hand side. The search functionality using ctrl-p. These are few tiny yet useful automations that should ship with vim/emacs by default. I see no reason why they shouldn't. Apart from trying to sell themselves as endlessly customizable editors, they must also do many of tiny day to day needs by default.

Things like package managers, a proper good looking GUI et al are must have things in any software tool these days. Arcane 80's style GUI, default tooling support for software development needs going two decades back is not going to fly.
Given two different pages getting the same checksum should be VERY unlikely. Getting a collision among billions of pages is fairly or very likely depending on the type of checksum. So it is likely to be important to only compare within domains or divide the space by some method.

Also it doesn't help you at all because pages returned that you want to treat as the same aren't actually the same because they include the request time or other unique element.

Edit: Added sentence about comparing with domains.
Its not. Time.now + 30.days is exactly as simple.

tl, dr; The Rosenhan experiment had eight sane people gain secret admission to 12 different hospitals by claiming to hear voices. Immediately on admission, they stopped claiming to hear voices, and requested release. Although fellow patients were quick to accuse participants of 'being sane', journalists, or professors (on account of their note taking), hospital staff uniformly failed to recognize their sanity.

The article says that Google will be penalizing sites now if they have to many DMCA takedown requests that Google has acted upon -- but only web search takedowns. Since YouTube has a separate takedown system, it doesn't get counted against all those other sites, even though potentially, it has a huge number. We don't know, because Google doesn't report them. I don't think Google's trying to be tricky in doing this. I just think that, as a consequence of how it handles DMCA requests, YouTube is getting a huge pass that other sites won't get.
Gotcha, primary care is what I assumed. Most of the insurance company websites will give you back a basic active/inactive response along with the patient's copayment. For primary care docs this is enough (although its still annoying to go to 100+ websites if you accept a lot of insurance plans). However; for surgeons, chiropractors, massage therapists, dentists, diagnostic labs, genetic testing facilities, MRI facilities -- this basic information is not even close to enough. That's where the Eligible API comes in.
r/fitness is good for an average person but I would not say it's as good as you make it out to be. Other bodybuilding and fitness websites are much better. Also, most of the advice on r/fitness comes from /fit/.

they all stink, either use fengoffice (ver 1.7.5) or atlassian. The first is simpler but doesn't scale as your company grows. The second one is feature rich and a bit of overkill for startups but has repository/wiki integration and scales well.
I firmly believe that for most things, fitness and health included, the internet will always be lightyears ahead of what is published in peer-reviewed journals.　Now, new ideas get thrown on a blog for millions to (potentially) see, the ideas are read and analyzed by a portion of the general population, and then they're either rejected or expanded upon. It's the perfect meritocracy of ideas, and the slow peer review process can't keep up.

My first thought is that there are too many options, and the privacy option should really be a user-controllable setting to begin with.

There are. Tens to hundreds of millions of them, probably.

* watch game of thrones tv links

* watch game of thrones episode 2

* watch game of thrones episode 3

I read that Leibniz had studied Chinese and that it influenced some of the math notation that he introduced. Like using df/dx to express the derivative of f with respect to x as a kind of ratio. Whereas Newton just put f' to denote the same thing. I think Leibniz also came up with the elongated sigma for representing integrals as a type of summation.
If you think CoffeeScript is solely for "young teenagers who have nothing better to do," your arrogance is obviously clouding your vision.

Ask HN: is it worth forking out $1995 for TechCrunch Disrupt?
I have a bootstrapped startup, with obviously not a pile of cash to spend. Is it worth spending 1995$ to attend Disrupt?
That makes sense. Because the same qualities that lead to higher incomes are required to care about things around you.

For example, building skills and wealth take a long term view and the ability to make sacrifices, deferring enjoyment now for the possibility of future enjoyment.

And a tree takes short term sacrifice of time for something that will have take years to materialize.
It works! ;)
