Paid or not, you do know that it's not possible to compare Obama and Putin in terms of popularity. Putin has been covered by all major channels in Russia exclusively for last 12 years, every single day. It's also not possible technically because he made a mockery of the elections process, and even then had to rig the vote. You also know that your claim about his popularity among Russians outside of Moscow is bogus but hardly verifiable to most people on HN: but he's just as disliked there as he is in Moscow. Don't portray Russian people as fools: they are not. And your talk about things not being so simple: how familiar. They are simple, my friend: Putin violated Russia's own laws including the Constitution, when he ran for the 3rd time, and he should not be the president, no matter how big you think his popularity is. He wants to rule forever? He will end up as a dictator. Simple as that.
Then an unexpected condition happens and the automated response breaks something badly, and suddenly your expensive robot is now an expensive piece of junk.
I really have a hard time taking him seriously. As someone who's been a heavy user of both databases in the past, IMO the only thing MySQL has done better than PostgreSQL is in the marketing department. PostgreSQL has no concerted marketing effort. PostgreSQL is not a company with a marketing budget...it's a community of peers and db geeks getting things done.

"Terrible"? I understand that you're meaning to be hyperbolic, but "timeless pice (sic) of crap" is rather silly.

For me, it is like switching to a mechanical keyboard. A Filco is heavy, ugly, and loud - until you actually start using one. As much as one's fingers "fly on that glass", it doesn't eliminate the problem of removing your fingers from the keyboard. For many people, the ability to keep their fingers where they want them and still navigate a page smoothly makes the best trackpad in the world a wasted rectangle that clutters the bottom of their laptop.
There is a direct correlation between the size of a company and the cost they pay for a logo, if twitter gave a marketing company the power to rebrand their logo now it would cost thousands.

There is a certain amount of responsibility in rebranding a large company and the myriad of brand documentation that goes with it.

It's funny how a startup only really cares about the logo looking nice but once they get big then it goes into the brand position and how that brand speaks to people.

I find it really interesting all this, I work for a company that specialises in branding (I work on the web side mind) but I know how much work companies are doing for the 400k price tags
How do they hedge against bed bugs?

That's a solvable problem. I still love the idea.
It's not really a functionality issue. MySQL just works.

The PHP API is incredibly direct and there's little development overhead.

Postgres on the other hand always felt kludgy for small projects. Just getting it up and running and creating databases took longer than with mysql. And phpMyAdmin is a tool most people are familiar with, for which I can't even think of the postgres analogue.

Pardon my butchering of the phrase but postgres is a hammer and mysql is a scalpel, and most projects call for a scalpel.
Cropping is already there :)

I have to work on an latest-gen iMac at work because that's what they bought us. I tried for over a month to get used to it, but it's just too much crap that accumulates. I waste too much time on things I shouldn't even be thinking about.

Such as alt-tabbing doesn't cycle through the windows an application has, just the application. If I have three Sublime Text 2 windows open, I have to hunt it down like a predator.

So I just installed VMWare, and setup my Linux Mint 13 machine and work there exclusively now.
In my case, it helped me a lot. My wife gives me perpective, marriage is never time consuming, it's just the opposite, your partner will help you when you need the most. Just knowing you have someone to help when you fail miserably (trust me, you will) makes your decision making process more rational. I've been married for 6 years.

Being single is not an advantage at all if you have a healthy marriage. I don;t really know what happens when marriages don't work.
It is not legal, but perpetrators of such acts would be unlikely to receive 3 years in jail.

For example, a NY DJ was caught having public gay sex. He was arrested and sentenced to 12 sessions of counseling.

Fines and short jail sentences are the typical result of such incidents.

Could you possibly automate the items that do have enough information and collect the ones which don't for later manual review?
MySQL is easier to install, much simpler to use, easier to manage and most importantly every little issue has been solved online many, many times over. It's a known quantity.

Fact is that simplicity is more important than features for most people.

The content posted on that Facebook page plays into the public stereotype of "programmer". Why would they think any of that would appeal to actual programmers? They must know some, someone had to make their site. It's embarrassing really (lol this shoe has a keyboard on its sole. It must be for programmers!!!11!!one!).
Yes, I was trying to understand if, for your use case, storing JSON properties for each user in a SQL text column would give the same result.
As of the FB app on my iPhone, when I wanted to connect it with my phones data (to get extra phone numbers of my friends, and see their profile pics), I was asked to agree that the app can upload the data to FB and let them use it whatever way they want to. (Read: all the phone numbers in my phone, not in the FB app.) That really blew my mind. I didn't agree, but if 500 people have your phone number in their phones, the chance that none of them agrees is zero.
Strangely the bug does not seem to appear anymore sorry I cannot give you more info on this now.

A clickable link or maybe a button with an image representing "Go to" action!

Storing images forever seems really hard and costly wouldn't it? Especially if you don't limit the original image size or resize it on your server.

For deletion of the image a solution could be to do like doodle.com. You provide one "administration link" where the uploading user can resize/crop/change the image, and a "publishing link" that he can provide to over people to see ?

A quick share through twitter/FB/G+ etc of the image uploaded could be nice too and help spread the word!

This is exactly it. This submission is about a restaurant removing the smartphone from one's person, and the post I replied to took significant issue with people putting their smartphone on the table (which they usually do if they have a notification LED and want to essentially forget about it -- it is actually the least interrupting mechanism of using a phone). So many seem to have taken my reply as some blanket endorsement of endless smartphone use, presenting it as a extremes when it is nothing of the sort.
You're right, I just have no idea how to write those things. Are there any "open source" Terms of Services that I would be able to use here?
There were no mass protests after Putin election results. You can check for yourself http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011%E2%80%932012_Russian_prote...

There were 25 thousand people protesting in Moscow Pushking square immediately after his re-election on March 5, 2012. No major regional protests reported. Moscow has 11 million inhabitants, so 0.02% of them were protesting. I would not call them 'mass protests'.

In contrast, the protests about cases of fraud during Parliament elections rally on Bolotnaya square in December 2011 brought 60 thousand protesters in one day, and many more rallies have been reported throughout Russia.

On tens of March (I quote) "Another 'For Fair Elections' protest was staged on the Novy Arbat street in Moscow. A permit was issued for 50,000,... but just 25,000 thousand came according to the organisers and 10,000 according to the police. The mood was downbeat after Putin won an absolute majority everywhere but Moscow where he garnered 46.95% of the vote. Sergei Udaltsov of Left Front, called for a massive demonstration 1 May, but no further protests are scheduled".
I was going to say the exact same thing. Clicked on the link out of interest, hit the backspace button immediately.
I am well aware of this, but Arc doesn't seem like a very popular language.. I could adapt Lamernews I suppose, I'll have to look into it. But in any case, the customisations I have in mind will probably require some outside coding help.
>Why isn't Madonna or these other outraged people protesting over the 32 miners killed in South Africa?

I'm not sure if this is a serious question. They are musicians and entertainers, many with punk roots (Madonna was NY Downtown, which is close enough), some who have been attacked by governments for social statements in their works using "traumatized" members of the public as a proxy. Pussy Riot is a band.

If you're not talking about Madonna, Sting, or any of the musicians that have been keeping this stuff in the news, who are you talking about? Me? It bugs me because the Church, an autocratic regime, and the Russian judicial system have merged to a point where they aren't even tolerating the existence of even trivial, fairly-vapid, middle-class, artsy dissent from a renewed nationalist program - and don't even have the shame to do it in secret, because they feel that enough of the public is behind them that they'll get away with it.

That's scary, and doesn't bode well for the future. It certainly doesn't even get into the ballpark of bugging me as much as Guantanamo. Guantanamo is happening in my country, and is a trampling on of my rights, and my constitution.

Why is it different from striking miners being murdered in South Africa? Because the striking miners weren't gunned down in a courtroom, after months of deliberation, with the support of the majority of the South African public, maybe? Maybe because the aggression of the state in support of capitol against striking workers is a known, and common evil? Maybe because the victims were black working men, not pretty middle-class white women involved in entertainment?

Asking how people can be more concerned about one than the other at this moment seems intentionally obtuse. Some people don't care at all about Pussy Riot, some don't care at all about the miners, some care about both, some care about neither, but the range of completely different concerns raised by each of those situations could be enumerated all day without hint of exhaustion.

Wow. That's going to wind up to be the filthiest box in NYC. Word will spread among the homeless and drug addicts. Need a quick place to shoot up? There's the Sleepbox.

It's very strange how you think you're setting me straight. I wonder if you really think you're enlightening me here.

I am very aware of social nuances and cues. I have no lack of people who want to repeatedly go to dinner with me.

I think this will be the solution I go with, but I'm a bit unsure how it would work in practice. I don't know how I would evaluate the accuracy of automated clustering?

Another solution might be a sort of automated-manual hybrid: e.g. identify common words/phrases in a particular category manually, write a script to find all items that have those, add to category.

MySQL works but it was always a hack. PostgreSQL is superior and has been a superior solution for quite some time.

I'm sad to see MySQL go, but I find that Postgres works just as well.
That's why it would be stupid to stick this on a street. In places like airports or offices, where drug addicts are going to be significantly less numerous, something like this makes a lot more sense.

Could you ask your users to tag it on the fly? While they browse your data they have the ability to categorize it with predefined tags and possibility to add new tags that you can review?
Installation? All modern Linuxes have package managers that make installation a headache of the past.

Configuration is a different story. When you are done with a Postgres config you have a more secure setup. They don't allow you to shoot yourself in the foot by default.

Honestly, installation as a differentiator between databases is a seriously weak argument. If you're going to troll pick something a little more technical like acid compliance or something else that nobody seems to care about.
I discovered this about a year ago and it vastly improved my general productivity. Definitely worth knowing. (btw, ` is the button above tab, at least on my macbook).
I currently limit the image size to 10MB, but even with that I guess storage space could quickly become a problem. A 30 day expiration time might be needed to keep the costs down.

Giving an additional administration link is a possibility, but I'll have to put some more thought into what the best way to handle image deletion / editing would be.

Adding sharing options is on my to-do list!
I looked up your jobs page on your site. I liked the page and thought you did better than average at presenting the job and your company. However, you presented (in my opinion) two negative points which were requiring both Backbone and .NET, and requiring participation in 24/7 on-call rotation.

You are looking for a bit of a rare bird. I'm sure others are asking for the same thing and getting more applicants. Be sure you are comparing yourself only to them.

428 Websites of Israel Hacked by Teamr00t

Teamr00t have just given Israel a very nasty surprise today by taking down 428 of their sites.

Here is what a Teamr00t official had to say:

''We may not be able to free the people of Palestine, but we sure as hell are going to make the Zionist bitches in Israel's life's a living hell for what they are doing to our brothers, sisters and our children in Palestine'' Rich or poor we will attack all sites and show no mercy.

This is nothing just a little introduction to Israel from us and to let them know we are coming for them and have just become your worst nightmare''

''To our brothers and sister in Palestine we have not forgotten you, nor will we ever forget you and as long as we are still breathing we will continue to grow stronger and will fight for your freedom! LONG LIVE PALESTINE !!!!''
To get out of a red light ticket, I once successfully argued that given the size of the intersection, the length of the yellow light, and the speed limit of the street, I would have to speed or have a reaction time that was significantly better than average to not break the law.

In Japan we have long had 'coffin hotels' (or 'capsule hotels', pre-Neuromancer). We also have love hotels, which are expressly designed to be rented for two hours at a time to do whatever nasty, sticky business you can convince somebody to do with you.

The changing the linens and whatnot are solved problems. (Some businessman-oriented places have a sealed plastic bag of bedclothes hung in the room... you have to do the work of putting them on, but the upside is you know they're clean.)

Getting the price down to where I want to rent one to just take a decent nap during my layover (maybe $25? $40 at most?) is the key thing. As compared to 'my date and I need a space to get intimate for 2 hours' (~$85... okay fine $100... What! ARE YOU SERIOUS $175? THAT'S... OKAY FINE!)

I for one am rooting for them to succeed before my next international connecting flight, though.

I admire Mr. Hale's honesty and thorough examination of what went wrong. But something he said really bothered me. At the press conference where they discussed the foam situation, he called it "unsatisfactory" and then in hindsight, calls it "A pretty bland word for the way I really felt."

THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH NASA!

In any other situation, when faced with such a dangerous close call, there would have been emotion and strong language used. But in NASAworld, that's all considered verboten. As Mr. Hale points out in his post, these people were his friends. He knew their families well. They weren't just employees. They dodged a bullet, and all he could call it was "unsatisfactory."

I'm not asking NASA to be full of raving loons. But show some goddamn emotion from time to time! One of the most wonderful things about Curiosity was not just the amazing landing, but the sheer jubilation the JPL team went through once they realized their little rover had safely survived the "7 minutes of terror" and landed. For 10 minutes, they hugged, shouted, and cheered. For crying out loud, the flight director had a mohawk! I have no doubt that by showing themselves as fully human, these amazing people just created a whole new generation of kids who will dream of sending probes to faraway places like Europa, Titan, and beyond.

Bottom line: I admire Mr. Hale's honesty in hindsight. But his bland non-emotionalism is one of the reasons people just don't care about space anymore. Make it exciting and demonstrate emotion, and people will care. Act all Spock-like 100% of the time and people will think you DON'T care (so why should they?)
