It has definitely been observed that activity by alien intelligence could affect our observations. For example, one astronomer observed that a red giant strong in the infrared and a Dyson Sphere around something like our sun would look pretty similar from many lightyears away.

Fun link on that topic: http://home.fnal.gov/~carrigan/infrared_astronomy/Dyson_sphe...

However, one of the reasons that I tend to believe that we are largely or entirely alone is that there doesn't seem to be anything out there that requires or even really suggests intelligence as an explanation.

The point is that this turns into a discussion of zoning laws because of an obsession of increasing density in hotspots, despite the fact that you have vast areas of viable land that is cheap, with few zoning restrictions, and far more viable to built extensive infrastructure to/from/in.

High property prices is not all that much of a problem unless your goal is the highest population density possible, or for you personally if you're dead set on living there. Rather, it is a market mechanism that if left to work will push the population further out, and benefit people in a much larger region that way.

Zoning is a problem mostly seen from the outside: Of people not living there who don't like that the locals believe the character of their neighbourhoods is more important than opening up for higher population density.

As much as I can sympathize with the desire to live somewhere that is "taken" at a price suitable to you, that's never something you will be able to do without some restriction or other. And the reality is that for a lot of people, those places would be ruined forever if there was nothing holding back rampant development.
It's an important reminder that most startups are run by a handful of people who are normal, fallible human beings. They generally don't have access to the infrastructure and manpower required to be on the ball and maintain near 100% uptime of their services. I think the important information to be gleaned about a company is how they deal with problems like this (not necessarily the fact that they encountered the problem in the first place - if that is of concern, pick a more established organisation).

Also another issue, which probably doesn't apply to Parse is limited funding. One of my own venture's certificates has now expired and as a 'bootstrapped' web app, I simply can't justify spending more to renew the certificate. However I keep the service live as a demo to potential customers, if one takes a very keen interest I will happily renew it, or seek further funding.

Amazon's fans seem to think that Amazon can sell a tablet at near cost and make money on either digital sales (movies/books/audio) or as a kiosk to sell physical wares.

What makes them think that they can outdo Apple in the first category? Apple which clearly has a huge installed base, yet runs the iTunes store at break even.

And using tablets as a kiosk might add some value to Amazon, but is it really necessary? Are iPad/Nexus 7/Surface users going to magically find a better/cheaper online merchant?
Learn you a Haskell for Great Good is one of the best introductory programming language books I've ever read. I don't use Haskell very often, but after carefully reading this book, I'm now able to easily use functional code in my Python and CoffeeScript/JavaScript when I need to do so.

The online version is free, but I bought the book. It's worth it.

I doubt anyone intends to transport attackers or weapons in this manner. The 9/11 hijackers had valid visas and Ted Kaczynski and Timothy McVeigh were Americans. They didn't need a submarine to bring bombs or terrorists to the US. They are already here.

The line in the article is just a way to spread fear, justifying the outlay of millions of dollars to patrol for drug boats. Nobody is scared of drugs anymore, so I imagine funding is harder to come by. Terrorism, though, is still scary apparently. (Look at the TSA. The thought of what incompetent government agency will be created after the next attack is frightening.)

We used that as a jumping off point when we created my company's support portal. We added a contact form and text box for the user to describe the issue, as well as the option to attach a screen shot. Once submitted it creates a ticket in our support system.

It has allowed us to troubleshoot issues quicker without having to do the back and forth of trying to get our customer to figure out what OS or browser they are running.

Is not that DRAM is dead, it is simply Intel will be putting Memory Cube, or Stacked DRAM or TSV Memory what ever you wanted to call it in the CPU die itself. Stacked DRAM provides up to 1Tbit/s of bandwidth. More then the current Graphics Card has.

As SSD gets faster every year, we need less memory to cache off the content where we used to need for performance reason from a HDD. With Windows 8 i have been using less then 4GB of Ram including standby, with Virtual Memory turned off. ( I have 16GB of Memory ). The future CPU die could easily stack 4 1Gbit DRAM with 8 layers of up to 4GB of Memory. Coupled with a SSD that goes up to 2GB/s transfer.

This sounds true, but there is always something called calendar for important things which will expire.

I have a own calendar just for expire dates of software and certificats. My reminder is set to 2 months before the event.
This is why I think its always good to build your apps in the 'Good old way', instead of relying on a third party like Parse. It becomes a bottle-neck in situations like these, where in you are kind of stuck - Either, you will have to re-write your code from scratch, or wait for them to fix it, with a lot of uncertainty.
We ban purchasing of ivory to avoid the poaching of elephants.

I am opposed to that. I could supply libertarian moral arguments, which would probably not convince you; or I could supply arguments as to how that would cause the (black market) price of ivory to be really high, and would give poachers who are "feeling lucky" (willing to disobey the law and risk getting caught) even more incentive to poach the remaining elephants, which might convince you; I could draw analogies with the black markets for illegal drugs, and the story of alcohol prohibition in the United States[1], which might convince you; I could look for and might find academic studies of, like, ivory poaching rates before and after it was illegalized, concluding that the laws did cause an increase in poaching, which might convince you; and I could make a general comment that any moral system that concludes that possession of a thing deserves absolutely draconian punishments, but then, after observing some empirical arguments like the above, concludes that the thing should be legal, is a hopelessly broken moral system (which is why I arrived at my position), which probably wouldn't convince you but would make me feel better.

I could also point out that, in this particular case (I remember reading this argument somewhere), if unrestricted copying puts musicians and writers and movie makers and other producers out of business, then it should have the same effect on child pornographers, and so you should be advocating for the FBI to put child pornography on the Pirate Bay and to devote taxpayer dollars to seeding the torrents.

By the way, notice the structure of this debate. The parent post and the great-grandparent post did not attack my counter-arguments; each brought in a completely new line of attack. ("Consuming it is bad, possession should be illegal for the safety of society"; then "Producing it harms children, so the producers should be punished"; then "Encouraging the producers is bad, and possession tends to mean buying or otherwise encouraging, so possession should be made illegal so the producers make less money".) If I was arguing with one person, I'd have to conclude he was schizophrenic. I suppose it's possible for there to be three independent approaches to... not exactly the same conclusions... but this certainly isn't evidence that there is a definitely correct, defendable argument for why child pornography should be illegal.

[1] This is another case where I believe the "the original driving force behind all laws is anti-social intent" hypothesis holds up. I don't have specific sources in mind, but I believe moonshiners supported anti-alcohol laws to restrict their competition (they were prepared to break the law, their competition wasn't).

Ask HN: Should I finish this project?
I'm getting close to finishing productiv.io but the project feels like it's lost steam.

There's a few things (automated emails, etc) that need finishing, should I spend more time on it or is my entire philosophy skewed?

Question for the Github people: Why not keep serving non-stale cached data while your databases are down?

You can do this with proxies or by modifying your code to always serve out of cache, and the db updates the cache, so if the db is down, the cache is your temporary failover while you fail over to the secondary db. ('cache' is anything memcached-like that's separate from your db)
Ha, I bought the domain montereyscoast.com as soon as I noticed it was available.

Yeah we are also seing issues. Fortunately we arent using them on that many places so should be fine anyway but my god this is a silly mistake to do.
I didn't see this, I apologize. I will submit my question there. Thanks!
How are you doing marketing for this? How do you get over the chicken and egg problem? E.g., buyers won't come unless sellers are listing, and sellers won't list unless there are buyers.
Every '… is down' posts.
I wanted to complain on the GitHub thread but I wanted to hear the rest of the community's opinions before I spoke.

What's everyone's views on the "Github is down", "Heroku is down." To me, they clutter what's meant to be about news, and exciting new developments. Often I think of these as karma bait (though I don't always assume that of everyone - I believe there are genuine people.)

It doesn't help anyone though, does it? If Github's not working for me, I'll check "isitdownforeveryoneorjustme", ask on Twitter or prod someone on IM. To me it's noise?

Do people find them interesting? Or beneficial to the community? If so, what is it that I'm missing?
I get SSL certificates from Servertastic. They are a RapidSSL reseller, whom in turn sell rebranded GeoTrust certificates. The result is that you get "the same thing" (by the end of the payment process you are filling out forms being served by GeoTrust's servers) for $13.95/yr.
We do in a lot of cases. We just don't have every detail in the whole app cached. :)

The most interesting part of that article for me is the "lotus" approach to using a controller to map to a full keyboard. Event at first glance is looks incredibly elegant and indicates that they have some serious thinking talent in there which bodes well for the bigger picture (if I can use such a pun).
Synapse is not a puppet/chef like configuration management tool, it is used for live management & orchestration.

It's in fact much more similar to mcollective and salt, which both innovates from tools like cssh by using a messaging middleware instead of ssh to connect to the target hosts.
Between your post and the site, the ONLY thing I know about it is that it's related to project management. I could maybe give more useful feedback if you gave more detail.

In general, if something is almost done - finish it. If nothing else, it gives you something to show off.
To prevent malicious unsubscriptions. Imagine I'm feeling mean, so I go to some services you use and unsubscribe you -- no login required.

This is prevented if unsubscribe links in the emails sent out have tokens specific to the user which are validated in lieu of a login. But that's fancy technology that most senders don't have.

Beginning with version 4.1, WebView is created from a recent snapshot of chromium before every major release. At least that is what Google Engineers said during the Android Fireside chat at Google I/O.
It's hard to tell when the only visible thing is the landing page and that gives almost no information on the product (one too-small-to-see screenshot).

I'm in the market for a new project management software at the moment so I'm interested, but I couldn't find anything on the page to let me know if it might be the thing I'm looking for.

EDIT: Speaking generally I always find that projects feel like they've run out of steam just at the last bit. Since you've already built the rest of it I say push forward and get it out there. Then even if it doesn't take off at least you can say you did it!
This is awesome. I definitely need to get it into http://jungleblaze.com
I downvoted: what kind of propaganda piece says Qihoo are tricking users to install their browsers! And points out that they are being shorted and that they are vulnerable in the market?

Also their product is not that bad, although not particularly innovative it's arguably better targeted at the local market in some ways.

This feels like a pretty standard pattern for a lot of services — fail, come back up on backup DB, fail again when backup proves to not be capable of handling the surge of load, then eventually come back up on the primary DB once people have gotten bored and stopped hitting 'refresh'.

Is that a function of not prewarming failover DBs, or is there something pathological about the primary-secondary pattern?
I think he's referring to the developer program. If I remember correctly, it was something like $1500.
It's not really comparable. Same mechanism, but still.

Commute an hour out of Oslo, Bergen or pretty much any other Norwegian city, and you're in the middle of nowhere, with plenty of options that are vastly cheaper than in most similar positions relative to SF or Silicon Valley.

Couple that with a far flatter salary curve, and it might be worse for those of us on the upper part, but for most people it's vastly easier to find decent sized places.

E.g. my brother lives in a two bedroom flat 30 minutes from the centre of Oslo which costs less than most studios where I live, in a suburb an hour from Central London.Bay Area is closer to London than Oslo in terms of availability of decent priced property.

Outside of the tiny city cores which are typically small enough to walk across, I think price increases for property in Norway are more affected by construction cost driven up by high salaries even on the low end of the salary scale.
It currently shows this page if it cant parse the user agent. Can you post the url with the error? It would help us debug.
Aside from the fact this argument falls apart when you use submodules or third party repos, a lot of us use GitHub for the services they offer beyond just git.
Take a look at our landlords about page:

http://www.openrent.co.uk/landlords

We offer a full service (beyond a simple marketplace) to attract our customers (landlords), and overcome the chicken and egg problem by advertising on already popular portals.
On lawyers and other non-productive employees though, not in a way that would grow the economy. That's a huge broken window fallacy.

This actually sounds quite interesting. Usually I print out the variables I need, but this could actually be useful if I want to change some variables when I am debugging and force a specific case.

Ansible[1] is starting to look really nice. It's kind of a mix between puppet and fabric, handling configuration and orchestration in a single tool. If it didn't mean rewriting all my puppet configs, I'd probably be using it by now (though I've come close a couple times).

I bet the CEO of Rakuten at a conference in Europe and he seemed like he is very good at what he does and is creating big businesses under the radar.

“Build once, deploy everywhere.” Brilliant.
Yeah, sorry guys, that was a little rushed. Yes, the idea is to give a really simple, great looking interface to manage your projects at a single glance.

The basis of this is that it's broken down into 3 functions: tasks, real time messaging and file management.

The sign-up button in the header actually works so you can see for yourself, and any / all feedback is much appreciated.

Hey man, I was PR & marketing for 6 years before I became a programmer. Valuable skillset to have.
Wow, talk about synchronicity... I put up our site doing the exact same thing last night! Design-wise you're definitely ahead, however. :-)

Our version is at http://www.browser-details.com. When you sign up you get your own subdomain - or you define a CNAME under your own domain [premium]. You can upload your logo, define a list of recipients, and your clients can send the browser details directly to one of those recipients/departments.

We still need to change the color scheme (I wanted to launch at the end of the week, so it's straight Bootstrap for now) and finish the translation to German. Also: Premium version!

Feel free to be a beta tester! Also: all the best to the OP, great idea! ;-)
