Yes, it's infuriating. Jailbait and creepshots bother me immensely as a photographer (forgetting the regular-human part for a second).

But what can you do about it? When I first started shooting street I didn't seek permission from anyone else either, and I'm quite certain I've come off as "the creep with the camera" in my hapless beginner stumbling. We don't have the right to restrict the privileges we need, and even if we had the right we'd have no idea how to implement such a restriction.

Hell, I probably still do. In fact, I know I still do on occasion.

As for privacy - street photography requires at least a little bit of instinctive amorality. Personally - and I've heard other photographers describe the same phenomenon - you train yourself to compose it and shoot it before the other side of your brain kicks in and says "but wait...".

Faster than the speed of your moral compass? :P

I curate very hard, both for my own sake as well as the subjects. Photography is a craft where it's very easy to make untoward implications merely by composing craftily. I scrub all results to make sure crafty composition never comes off negatively on the subject - unless the negative aspect existed as I shot the picture. A man angrily screaming at a police officer? I'll take that. A shot where it looks like someone is eyeing a woman's ass but isn't really? Nope.

I also retain copyright on all street photographs. I do not release any street photographs under any CC licenses - I trust my own judgment on where and how to show these photographs, but not others. It's something of a symbolic gesture though - once a JPEG is in the wild your control over it is limited at best.

The last part is no homeless pictures ever. There's a huge train of thought behind this one for the sake of brevity I won't expand on.

Ask HN: Recommended sources for essential networking under virtualization
Dear HN community:

Over the last years I've dealt with virtual servers from various providers. I have too often forgotten what I wanted to do with them, but in the process learned a lot. (Actually a bit for HN standards.) With all this momentum, and given the affordable dedicated servers that can be found today, I decided to try a new adventure: setting up my own virtual servers. The only issue is that now I'm beyond stuck. On the other hand, I really don't want to give up on this.

I prefer building my knowledge with textbooks, even if it takes longer, than with copy-and-paste tutorials. But now I can't even seem to find such textbooks or sources. In particular, I'm stuck with the notion of mapping external and internal IP addresses, again while gaining understanding in the process. For example:

- When exactly do I need bridging?
- When do I need to request a MAC address in connection to the external IP?
- Must I map IP to MAC ("bridge_hw" directive, I believe) explicitly? Why? When?
- Where would you use route over iptables?

Please note that I'm lost, so any attempts to answer these questions would probably lead to new ones! Rather, I'm looking for authoritative (and pedagogic!) sources. I read great things about Benvenuti's "Understanding Linux Network Internals", but this seems to take all the way down to kernel-level programming, which I imagine should be avoidable. Maybe "Linux Network Administrator's Guide", by Dawson et al, has a more hands-on approach that makes it more recommendable? I often go back to Frisch's "Essential System Administration". While I have by no means read it back to back, I believe the kind of discussion I'm seeking is not found at length there.

Any references will be greatly appreciated. It doesn't have to be a published book, by the way. A blog, an article series, etc. will be welcome.

Thanks in advance!
The instances i launched were terribly slow. I'm from Chile, southamerica so maybe only US/European/Japan users are able to run the emulator smoothly.

It's a great idea and definitively a service i would pay for. I wish performance were better.

It could be that they have to get in the paperwork before the 31st so it can be manually processed. So the last day to them would be a day or two before. Also the beginning of the month makes sense because you'd want to dole out a bunch in the first week so you could coast a little in the middle.

There is no such law, and it's never been a fiduciary duty.

There is one common law school case where a court smacked down Henry Ford for saying he didn't care about shareholders, just his workers, but that's because it was the Dodge brothers bringing suit and Henry Ford was being a huge dick. That case wasn't really a correct statement of the law even at the time.
I don't understand all the gymnastics to correct for the fact that months end on different days (30, 31, etc.) and all the effort put into dealing with days by number.

For a given month, you can determine the last day. You can also determine the last weekday.

So just do a series that for each month shows "average weekday citations, non automatic" and "final weekday citations, non automatic" (and maybe "first weekday citations, non automatic").

IE10 has Grid Layout, a major change-the-way-you-develop type of feature, which no other browser has.

IE10 has IndexedDB, another major feature for apps, which only Firefox has the correct implementation of.

Among other things, IE10 is not really behind any other browser except with regard to WebGL which is very unfortunate. Of course, IE10 is really good today, but might just be "good" a year from now, which its still the most recent IE version.

For example, in Massachusetts, it's illegal to have ticket quotas.

Of course, all that does is prevent them from admitting so publicly. Anecdotal, but a friend of a friend claimed that he goes out some nights and has to write a certain amount of tickets.

Not so anecdotal, a collection of news stories related to Mass ticket quotas:

Also, when you see enforcements such as "Click It or Ticket," basically the govt provides incentive funds if certain seatbelt tickets quotas are met.
Its not a zero sum game... it doesn't have to be either-or. But there is research going on in things that can change the course of humanity, on a large and immediate scale, and they don't get the attention they deserve
Similarly, IE9 allows you to select IE7, IE8, IE9, and IE9 Compatibility Mode. In my experience these browser modes are not identical to their stand-alone counterparts. If you are serious about finding and fixing layout bugs for IE7/IE8 users, you really should roll an XP VM for each of those browsers. Notably, IE8 users commonly browse in IE8 Compatibility Mode which has its own quirks as well, and it's completely unavailable in IE9.

I wish I didn't have to know this stuff.
There's no better market research than selling things.

Come on Mr. Horowitz, quoting 2 Chainz in an intellectual article?! :D
AppData says 460,000 active monthly users[1]. The original VentureBeat article quoted AppData at 440,000, which is where the ~400,000 number is coming from.

Edit: In reply to the grandparent, because of the huge amount of money Color raised, they would need to make something like ten thousand dollars per user at their current user numbers to meet expectations. Since that's obviously impossible, it makes sense for them to avoid revenue entirely until their user numbers hit eight digits at least.

I only checked the new features list compared to IE9 so that's why I missed spell check and sync. But it is still a huge stretch to call IE10 a good browser compared to it's competitors considering spell checking is more than half a decade old and bookmark sync has been around for more than a year, and it doesn't even have the other features on my list. It hasn't even caught up with feature leaders like Chrome, Firefox, or Opera.
In Australia long weekends usually trigger double demerits and an increase in visible police, especially roadside breath testing. I don't know what it does to the ticket rates but the effect on every driver I know personally is to be extra cautious, which would reduce ticket rates.

I'm afraid this probably runs afoul of the escrow laws. Such laws vary somewhat by state, but they generally cover situations where you act as an intermediary in a transaction, holding money for one party until the other party satisfies some condition. The problem with this business model in general is that it provides a great temptation for embezzlers, as the amount of money being held at any one time can be quite large (being the sum of multiple pending transactions).

The easy fix is not to actually charge people when they place a bounty, but instead get a preauthorization; then you can charge them at the time the bounty is actually paid. Depending on how PayPal's API works, you might be able to do this without having the money actually pass through your account.

This would also give you the option of not charging them at all if their problem wasn't solved, but presumably you don't want to do that since it opens the system to abuse.
The title sounds like a negative, like Zapier adjusted their service and all of a sudden Ducksboard had a lot more work to do.

There isn't anything wrong with bringing up the hypocrisy, I just see many people dismissing his point. He isn't wrong to say we should reform patents. Even if he has some ulterior motive it doesn't make his point not valid. You can mark his credibility and therefore assume his desire to change the patent system is neither credible nor real. This doesn't change the argument itself.

Also, I would also like to point out I hate the conflating of CEOs with companies. Jeff Bezos isn't Amazon. He sits at the helm, but there are literally thousands of people who work for him who make independent decisions everyday.
IE10 has Grid Layout, a major change-the-way-you-develop type of feature, which no other browser has.

This is the problem with web development today. Until a feature is standardised enough that all of the major browsers support it or have a viable alternative available, none of these shiny new toys is really a change-the-way-you-develop type of feature for most people. In particular, no-one doing real work can use them unless they are lucky enough to be able to dictate which browser their customers/clients/colleagues should use.

Still, certain browser vendors persist in releasing a new version every five minutes with yet another pre-beta-quality add-in that no-one except a handful of Internet-famous web designers writing blog posts is going to care about. The IE team release less often, which personally I think is actually a very good thing in terms of stability and building real web sites/apps, but it doesn't make their exclusive features worth any more.

That is fine, but it is a flaw on your part to not listen to good arguments. Good arguments can be made by the worst of people.
>“Why do you all call your customers ‘users’?”

We don't, we call our users "users". They are the product we are selling to our customers. We call our customers "customers". Why is he taking such a stupid question as a call to change the way he thinks instead of just answering it?

>No one wants to be thought of as a “user”

Excuse me? I am perfectly content with being thought of as a user of site X when I am a user of site X. I am not a customer of google's, I am a user of their search engine. I am not a customer of HNs, I am a user. If you don't care about your users, then fix that problem, don't try to pretend the word is the problem.

Wow, great discussion!. May I ask a dumb layman question?, seeing the huge flame that rockets produce (obviously), It wouldn´t make sense to create a kind of statoreactor at the lower part of the rocket to take advantage of all that heat?.Like a kind of after burner, that way it would be possible to use even an greater mass of air to increase thrust (at least for the limited time that the rocket is still in the atmosphere, then drop the "ring" as another stage).

Competition in the browser space is a great thing - it is the reason there is so much progress in the field.

Remember when IE was the only browser worth worrying about? Wasn't development so easy because IE was the only browser you had to support, and IE was miles ahead of its competitors like netscape navigator? The result of that was stagnation, and I would rather not go back there.
IANAL, but I believe that you are correct, the corporation must pursue its shareholder interests for the purposes outlined in its articles of incorporation. That can be (afaik) any legal purpose. AMZN has repeatedly communicated their purpose of maximizing long-term shareholder value.
University graduate might have much higher potential to learn(and get teached), while solo coder hero may not be able to learn anything other than he wants to. Graduates are used to being teached and that's what many employers expect from them, they want you to absorb some not so cool knowledge and get used to it without any questions.
I can't speak about all police but I've asked this question to my father who works with the RCMP. He has been in charge of traffic sections for years. They don't have a quota, not in the usual sense but they do keep track of data on tickets, this includes how many tickets each member is giving out. They don't require them to give out X tickets per month but what they do look for is members who are not giving out around the same amount of tickets as their peers. This usually indicates they are not patroling and doing their job.

Another thing they can look at with this data is where they are giving out tickets. If they notice one officer has all his tickets in one location which is known for high accident rates then they know that person is "fishing" rather than actually doing active patroling.
I don't think they will have much of a problem from the cloud providers. To the provider, this just looks like a steady stream of traffic from one of their instances to another server somewhere on the Internet: something they see from so many of their customers. It will attract very little attention so long as they pay their bills.

The transit and load balancer servers are another story. It will become a game of cat and mouse with colocation providers, the same game that spam purveyors played in the days before botnets. They will get raided and have to set up a new server at some provider elsewhere. Eventually they will run out of decent providers and have to move somewhere on the fringes of the hosting industry and performance will suffer.

A better approach, in my opinion, is to take the whole thing into the cloud and to come up with some sort of P2P protocol that is capable of determining where the transit server(s) live entirely without the aid of centralized DNS.

"It’s also worth noting that a quota system wouldn’t really explain the drop on the 31st...".

Maybe on the 28th or so they panic and start issuing tickets. And by the 31st they've made their quota and relax. They don't want to wait to the last day and risk it.

Or maybe these results mean nothing (more likely)!
