And no doubt you will still find guys who want help, even if - in my own anecdotal experience - there's not as many of these guys around as there perhaps once was. And I wish you luck.

But what I took issue with was the tone you use in some of your writing. That sentence I quoted from your site just sounds horrible and my initial gut reaction to it is that you don't know the audience you're apparently targeting. The little secrets of fashion that will help me fool people into thinking I'm more awesome that I actually am? Yes, first impressions are important, people often judge a book by its cover, etc. etc. but ultimately, trying to keep up such charades (when not able to base things off some true aspect of who you really are) is unsatisfying, tiring and counter-productive. Ergo, I honestly hope that sentence doesn't convey what you really meant.

You say you understand our language, but I see little so far that confirms this. If I could give some subjective but hopfully constructive criticism: dial back the bravado just a little, show us some interesting research/data about your chosen topic, or just tell us an insightful story or two about fashion and nerds.

Using the word 'interwebs' and saying you liked The Social Network isn't - on its own - enough to convince me you understand my world. In relative isolation, it actually has the opposite effect to what I assume you intended, i.e. it comes off as 'try-hard' or contrived.
They stop and frisk 47,000 women. They make 4000 arrests and find 59 guns. I daresay the arrests are mostly low-grade possession with some contempt-of-cop thrown in. At _best_ their hit rate is under 10%.

How on God's green earth are these searches "reasonable" under the Constitution?

I'm not a big one for "racism" or class analysis but there is no, no way a cop would try this on me, middle-class white guy, walking down the street. If he did I'd give him grief. I'd end up complying, but I'd look him in the eye and say "I've got your badge number. I've got your partner's badge number. Go ahead, take me in. This shit is writing up and you are going to be in paperwork on this for the next six months. I'll call my lawyer, you call your union rep 'cause he'll be working this for a while." And he knows, I've got the free time and the entitlement attitude and am sufficiently pissed off to go after him. And he knows the city council and the mayor's office won't just ignore me, that IAD will have to look into it.

At the end of the day I won't be able to touch him -- the union and the blue line will keep him from serious harm -- but it's going to be a hassle for everyone and it makes him less promotable / supportable in the future. And God only knows what else might get turned up.

All in all, a cop needs a _reason_ to frisk me, and if he hasn't got one he's going to pay a price, maybe just a nuisance, but maybe a high one. But he can bust on some black lady because, hey, maybe she's got a gun, and no one cares enough to listen to her complain.

And I don't want to hear this crap about a cop's safety. It is a tough, tough job and that's why I respect guys with badges. I would never do anything to make a cop's job harder. But if you are to claim safety as an excuse for violating my rights -- fuck you. That kind of "safety" looks a hell of a lot like the government dominance the Bill of Rights is supposed to prevent. You wanna be safe, be an actuary. Don't put on a uniform and expect me to treat you like a hero while you get nervous because someone _might_ have a gun.

I seriously do not understand why this stop and frisk thing is constitutional. If I had to put up with it I'd be pissed off too. Every time they do this they are telling people they are crap, they aren't citizens the way white guys like me are. Their gun hit rate is 0.12%! That isn't police work, that's a gang letting everyone know who's boss.

I suspect that Amazon has behavioral metrics to back up their visible security measures. Not to mention that Amazon also relies on the scrutiny of each transaction by the financial institutions issuing credit cards. Had the person taking over the account changed shipping addresses and ordered expensive merchandise, I strongly suspect that Amazon and/or the credit card companies would have been alerted.

The absence of any sort of backup measures at Apple allowed a lost password access followed immediately by the wiping of three devices to go entirely unnoticed. It's not just the lack of rigor Apple implemented in the password recovery process, it's that that is all there was. Apple didn't defend in depth at all - there was just one call center employee between the black hat and mischief.

Tip to anyone looking for a link to the Redefined Wikipedia so you can actually try it out: it doesn't exist.

What they did is a design -- i.e., a document explaining their ideas. There is no working prototype that you can try out. (I was looking forward to trying out the Connection Cloud.)

It wasn't obvious to me that they had a discussion about design but no actual implementation.
Isn't that precisely taken into account by patches, hunks, and branches?

No part of your comment is true.
Yes, I believe you are right -- I can't find any general restrictions against multiple accounts, or service "subscriptions" either. I seem to recall things were different a while back. Now you can apparently create as many google logins as you like, and associate them with (among other services) gmail.

But, after a few minutes of searching, I can't find any actual promises that google will keep neither your logins, nor your services (eg: gmail) operating -- for any reason.

I guess this is worse if you actually pay them money (did they finally come up with a QOS-statement for paid accounts?)...
On many Apple devices, the only way to access the serial is to actually log into the device and open Settings or About this Mac. If the attacker's able to do that then – in the majority of cases – they likely already have access to your mail and probably many other accounts as well. At that point, it's pretty much game over for you; containment's impossible.

(Two big loopholes on the Mac side are guest accounts and the recovery partition. Both of those offer ways to get your machine's serial number which do not require the attacker to log into your account.)
Obviously not. It's up to the tinkerer to figure that out (which is clearly possible by tracing around).

Again, this is pretty trivial with a disassembler such as Hopper that can generate pseudocode.

How do people actually use the traffic layer on Google Maps? It’s not obvious how a red highway compares to a green side street. And how stale are the data? My friends just ignore the traffic layer and use Caltrans’ website directly because the source is known and presumably the information delays are more deterministic.

How many Android phone owners walking down the street does it take before that street is marked red?

Google has been putting a lot of focus on expanding traffic coverage, but it’s not as useful without any transparency about its source and quality.
I share your sentiment, although I did not dislike them originally. In their native version they were simple four paneled MS paint comics. Since you had three panes to preamble the rage they called in for a lot of innovation and unexpected humor. Today, they have become pagelong mundane personal stories -uninteresting incidents and people being stupid/perverted- told entirely with stock images.
Income taxes can be relevant, Microsoft licensing isn't in Reno for nothing, Apple and every other large company tends to pass billions of dollars of revenue through Nevada due to the lack of corporate income tax. Nevada also still has no personal income tax. Home prices are definitely lower but it's only about 1/2 for most desirable areas not 1/4.

Equipment costs are going to be the same of course but access to other services (bandwidth comes to mind) will be much more limited and in many cases much more expensive. There also won't be a huge savings on corporate office space in places like downtown Las Vegas or even downtown Reno.

Companies starting in Nevada will get a bit of a benefit due to the looser requirements on employee benefits and companies can get away with offering crappier benefits due to a lack of job availability in the area. The flip side of that coin is that there isn't a ton of top notch talent in the area. The top notch talent is making a salary on par with SV or at most 10-15% less. Top talent is constantly leaving the area for SV rather than moving to the area. Most of the companies that I know are actively recruiting recruit out of Oregon and the midwest. Getting people to relocate from California to Nevada, especially the Bay Area to Las Vegas is going to be a real challenge. Vegas doesn't have a lot going on for it.
So I understand that this is the kind of copy that is frequently used to sell clothes. "Thou art insufficient! Accept my wisdom and I shall lift thee from thy ignorance!" It's just like every crappy teen movie, make-over show and magazine cover.

It's also not appealing. Your vision of "nerd" seems to be nothing but "young white guys who don't work out much": who thinks of themselves that way? It is possible to be a fashion nerd, approaching the topic from a scientific, data-driven, rules-based or technology-incorporating point of view. An article about the history of pants got a bunch of upvotes a while back. MIT has clothes that strip pollution out of the air. That's nerdy fashion.

When talking to nerds, I wouldn't don't assume the audience will be sold by being told that there is something wrong with them that you can fix. Instead, be passionate and apply a nerdy lens to whatever that topic might be. Most of us are perfectly capable of doing the research to look good, and most of us don't bother. We don't need a savior; we might use some automation to lower the effort involved.

It is a shame. The US justice system is not even pretending to provide justice. If the president can bomb and kill random people 8000 miles away without any trial (or even charging them with a crime, if any), surely he can wiretap innocent Americans at home because of their color/creed/origin. The constitution can go to hell.

The Bushes and Obamas and Clintons will take turns to continue the mass-murders abroad and mass-violations of privacy at home (or even illegal abduction and torture of American citizens as long as they have a Muslimy name). Meanwhile there will be some musical chair shows to give the public the "choice" between one mass-murderer and another.

Liberty and Justice for Non-Muslims

By ANDREW ROSENTHAL

Since the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, genuine concerns about national security as well as politicking and fear have led to a shift in the balance between civil liberties and law enforcement. That much is indisputable, and widely discussed. Yet it’s rarely acknowledged that the attacks have also led to what’s essentially a separate justice system for Muslims.

In this system, the principle of due process is twisted and selectively applied, if it is applied at all.
I've never once edited a Wikipedia article and have no desire to do so. I'm I'm the epitome of a Wikipedia outsider and I agree with your parent that this is not good design.

It's pretty and minimalist and trendy but it isn't Wikipedia. Honestly, they would have done the same thing with any website. It's just a shallow coating of gloss over what they've labelled as "bad design". There is a lot wrong with this whether you're an insider or outsider. These are my biggest peeves:

Not only do they throw up a huge middle finger to non-English speakers (something I usually don't ever mind but this is almost obscene) but they do it in a way which involves replacing the current system with mystery meat navigation. How is anyone supposed to know the color bar is clickable and not just a ripoff of Vimeo?

The logo... They explain why the current logo is what it is then proceed to basically say "but we don't give a shit, let's use cool fonts and be trendy". The whole concept of the world being a puzzle of knowledge goes right out the window and they carried absolutely no piece of it into the new one. Also, the "w" brands have one major flaw: Wictionary. Every other name is a compound word but Wiktionary isn't a compound word but kind of a half compound word. It sticks out and doesn't make sense like the others (had the others truly made sense to begin with). I know it's a minor detail affecting only one brand but good design is all about the details.

In the end this redesign amounts to nothing but slapping a fresh coat of trendy on a massively popular website. It smacks of arrogance and self importance. I have to say they damn sure know how to make something look pretty and trendy but the way they went about this, especially the subject they chose, made them look pretty terrible now.
How is easily being able to gain access to an Amazon account in any way appropriate?

The concrete problem the journalist experienced was mostly due to the level of security Apple chose, sure, but that’s only because the hacker chose not to exploit being able to access the Amazon account.

The problem with Amazon is not that they give out the last four digits of the credit card. The problem is that you can access anyone’s account.
Nice effort, but they don't understand one of the fundamental things about content heavy sites the size of wikipedia - the vast majority of users never even need to go to its home page - they get to the content via direct links from search engines like google. Many these days prefix their google search with "wiki" as well in order to look on wikipedia.

Is there really any evidence this is happening only to Muslims? My impression was that everyone was being treated this way. Not that this makes things any better ...
Ask HN: From freelancer to salary?
So basically I've been doing some combination of contracting and consulting work for short to mid-length contracts for the past 10 years or so. Anyways, I've made a decent living so far going this route. But there have been some ups and downs. So now I'm thinking I want to go the route of a salaried job and have been kind of exploring the job market in the area. I'm 30 y/o now, am married, and have 2 kids (7 and 9). And, am starting to value the idea of financial stability afforded by a salaried position. So I'm seriously ready to take the plunge.<p>I have an Associates in IT with a local community college affiliated w/ the University of KY and ~11 years of professional experience doing web design/ development as well as complex data intensive web applications/services and windows software for various .gov/.mil, state and city. As you can imagine, most of the web design projects were smaller and done solo while the larger projects I was part of a team.<p>Aside from the standard HTML/CSS/Javascript combined with a bit of Photoshop skill. I do a lot of development in ASP.NET/C# w/ SQL Server or Oracle database on the backside. A lot of Entity Framework and bit of Silverlight too. I consider myself a pretty decent programmer these days. I'm really looking for advice on how best to craft my resume. Besides the .docx I threw up http:/michaelkelley.me and a little more adventurous http://michaelkelley.me/resume<p>Advice on honing my resume and presentation for landing a decent job in the ~60-75K/year w/ benefits and whether I should bother with any kind of website resume<p>SO yeah... this turned into a pretty long-winded AskHN but please any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm still churning around some ideas for a great startup and I plan on saving some money up through this job to work towards that goal! Hopefully I can turn this process into a nice blog post after I land a position and let everyone know how it went.

I've been a part of the community, did daily edits for about a year, but ultimately there's just too many people who like to argue and enforce things (read - "delete shit left and right") rather than to actually contribute and edit.

"but it's kinda been done before"

You nailed it. I think that's the thing that really bothered me if not many others too. This is cliche now and if you're going to do it then you'd better make something really god damn good! This comes off like "hey, we can redesign a major website and get a bunch of notoriety, lots of street cred, back links, and look like a big deal in the design world". Major fail. The bar was already set pretty high but now that we've seen it enough times the bar is way higher.

What I hate doing however is having to explain that by "man" I mean it in its original sense

That's because the meaning has changed, and also the sexism of the term is better understood. If you're American, do you also use the term 'negro' to refer to black people? It's a neutral and descriptive term in medical parlance, but it's a clear case of a word having more impact than its roots back in the day.

So trying to shoehorn in an out-of-date definition is changing the modern meaning of the word, just the same as repurposing 'they'. In truth, I think you're just being stubborn about wanting to use sexist language, since you don't seem to have too much of a problem with using all the borrowed words and grammar we've gained since the 'alewife' days.
You're right. Thank you for the clarification!

Wikimedia Foundation's Senior Designer, Brandon Harris, had a lot of insightful, interesting feedback[1] regarding the 'redesign,' (of which I happen to agree with):

-It's completely impractical and does not take into account some of the most basic ideas that Wikipedia is and depends upon. I don't think it's very well thought out or researched, and serves mostly as a hypothetical portfolio
piece for a design firm.

For example, the fact that Wikipedia is available in multiple languages is quite possibly its most important feature. The idea of burying language selection within an incomprehensible color band (that will only work on non-touch devices) boggles my mind.

- Many, many important principles are tossed away. Why do the designers change the meaning of the "history" button? Burying the revision history is counter to all things that wikis stand for.

- Research into the Foundation projects would tell you that storing a user's browsing history is against the privacy policy - so why include that?

- > "Sharing functions will be the same so no change is necessary" - except that there are no sharing functions.

- The most basic principle of product design is "Know the product," and these designers do not.

And finally,

This is to say nothing of the exercise in 'brand manipulation.' The most powerful brand that Wikipedia has is the wordmark itself ("wikipedia"), followed by the distinctive "W" logo (crossed "v" characters), followed by a single puzzle piece, followed by the puzzle globe. The brand rework here throws ALL of these things away and replaces them with a stylized "w" glyph that is almost but not quite exactly like the logo used by Wordpress."

But that's just my opinion"
