Food, medicine and water are not blockaded?

Israel allows enormous amounts of aid to pass into the Gaza Strip on a daily basis.
The problem is that the offered solution to the conflict (2-state solution) is horribly wrong, and will never work out in the long-term. The only way to solve this conflict is with the 3-state solution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-state_solution).

So first, they need to have a proper solution in mind, so that everyone agrees on a trajectory for negotiations, and then do whatever they can to end the conflict. The thing is, whenever talks of a 3-state solution start, the other Arab nations show us that they don't really care about the Palestinians because they tend to reject it.
> As a web developer, I enthusiastically welcome native date and time pickers in web browsers...but boy are they ugly!

Agreed, the Chrome datepicker has been there for some time and is atrocious. I get a point for no styling: they can be made to feel native, e.g on iOS they're good but the Chrome ones simply are not.

> Without the ability to style them, this will not get widespread adoption. I am all for consistency in browser inputs

Indeed, but I see another advantage: what this will give us is UI<->data normalization, as third party pickers will have a tendency to converge towards the standard in terms of data handling so as to act properly as fallbacks to the standardized way.
The URLs you visit over SSL are encrypted (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/499591/are-https-urls-enc...). DNS is requests are a different matter though and therefore the host part of the URL is visible if you don't take extra steps.

Apart from that: If I buy hardware from e.g. Apple or Dell, do they keep a database that connects the MAC to my identity? I don't know.
I suspect people emphasize it because the author does. Version 2 is a radically different piece of software from version 1, and I believe that during the alpha/beta development period you could run ST1/2 concurrently if you liked. This may be the reason why the folder name embeds the version number.
Show HN: Social News from Merged Friend Feeds
Because he got suckered and instead of blatantly admitting he acted like a smug idiot, he has to rationalize it as a good thing by saying "look, I learned something, and now so did you".
Flagging can be done by anyone with enough karma, so there's an inherent lack of consistency.
No, you'd have to give them the car, because the rightful owners are denied a car by you keeping it. But be careful, licensing doesn't fall under traditional ownership/theft rules.

The Role Of Technology In David Patraeus Case
Ask HN: Does asking for help actually help?
I recently saw the website of a startup where they had a whole section on the frontpage asking people to help them promote their startup. However I cant seem to remember what website it was but I am pretty sure I found it here on HN.

Anyway my question is: does this actually get any results? Do any of you have any experience going down this path?

The reason I ask is that I got a small project myself that I am bootstrapping with pretty much no budget, and I am struggling to get some promotion as well as contributing users. The websites purpose is to get people to help other people by suggesting and rating treatments for diseases and generally people love the idea and the execution, but I am still having difficulty getting the word out there and getting people to write the treatments they know of.

I would love to hear some recommendations and experiences from those of you who have successfully conquered a similar situations.
The only time I ever had problems running multiple VMs at once was when I used two different VMMs to do so. In fact, testing IE on Windows is equally painful as you need the VMs for the older versions anyway (unless you happen to have a few real machines lying around).

Depending on your site's demographics you may choose to ignore IE testing, I understand. But often that demographic is rather disconnected from your own development OS so you may not always get around it.

Also your comment history is very JS-focused (but how does that matter in any way?).

'Anonymous' is a movement, not simply a label for anyone who is not easily identifiable. The movement has a distinct ethos and a set of guiding principles.

When I say the script kiddies conducting these particular attacks are 'not Anonymous' I mean that they are not attacking in accordance with this ethos.
> Still they are rather humane

Er, what? Go and look up the history of Irgun and Lehi. Israel is just as bad as anyone else in the conflict. Back in the 30s and 40s they were blowing up buses and shooting civilians every day: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Irgun_attacks

Israel and Egypt continue to blockade medicine and food into Palestine, and restrict how people can move (bear in mind that there's basically no work in Palestine). How is that not deliberately targeting civilians? http://www.ipsnews.net/2010/07/mideast-israel-chokes-gaza-de...

If you want to see what a solution looks like, just look at Northern Ireland. No aid blockades there...

Nice try, with your "unbiased" sources. How about you check the timeline here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Palestinian_rocket_atta...

Basically your narrative is the one I see on a bunch of pro-Palestinian propaganda sites, and nowhere else. How about this article: http://edition.cnn.com/2012/11/08/world/meast/gaza-violence/... ?

Frankly, I'm used to Palestinians making up damning narratives of events. Watch Pierre Rehov's The Road to Jenin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9kx3UntoAE), or Richard Landes' Pallywood (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL8ANySuSuk)
It's a strange case to begin with:

The readme of the first public release says:

nv.d3 - v0.0.1

A reusable chart library for d3 by Bob Monteverde of Novus Partners.

The license later said that the copyright belonged to Novus, (not Montaverde), under the GPL v3.

This means that they couldn't (nor could anyone) use the Free contributions in closed source products.

Since Montaverde is responsible for ~95% of the code (https://github.com/RobertLowe/nvd3/graphs/contributors) and he sounds embarrassed by the ordeal, it looks like a dick move by someone above him at Novus.
Oops! no way to edit now :(
Sure, they let some through - but not enough to support the people there on anything more than a borderline subsistence level.

> Er, what? Go and look up the history of Irgun and Lehi.

What do the actions of dissidents 70 years ago have to do with classifying current Israeli government policy as rather humane?

You could spend the rest of your life investigating past wrongs on both side of this conflict, and you aren't going to get anywhere.

There is no aid blockade in Gaza either?

yeah, it's true there've been plenty of web OS, I think the most important ones where youOS (YC) and eyeOS. ¿What makes us different? All our code is based in HTML5 and Javascript, that means we can work in almost every device in the world, it doesn't mind if it's a pc, a mobile, a tablet... we work in all devices that have a modern browser.

We use websockets, all our platform will be based in websockets, this makes weeZeel and all the apps available work in real time, no ajax used, everything is instant. We also offer an API so everyone can develop an app (I think only youOS did this), anyone can develop an app using html, css, javascript and php (in the future we will offer more languages) and sell it through weeZeel Store (doesn't exist yet).

A really important point of weeZeel is it's social, you have an app called "Social" where you can add and arrange all of your contacts, due to this in all the apps available in weeZeel you'll be able to interact with all of your contacts (maybe send or share someone a file or play a multiplayer game).

Finally because of all the progress in coding, thanks to HTML5 and Javascript we are much more fast than other webOS, a really important point if we want to simulate we are just as a fast and reliable as a traditional OS.
we've thought about it many times and you're right, it would be fantastic if we did, thanks!
It's really only useful when interactive - http://www.jasondavies.com/parallel-sets/ - and it still takes a while to figure out what's going on.
Like startups, the vast majority of HN submissions will fail to gain traction. Even those that gain a little may get squashed by flagging. All get squashed by time.

The rise of the Ron Paul submission is an unusual data point - as is that of the current one implying that Republicans are rejecting copyright. I suspect social media campaigns are being tested. HN is somewhat of a hardened target. During application cycles, however, its moderators might be preoccupied.

The important point is that when a crappy submission gains traction, it doesn't lower the bar in general to justify other crappy articles.

The way to contribute is by submitting good content unlikely to be encountered elsewhere. California politics probably doesn't make that cut.

So kind of you to assume that I haven't used it. I use it on Windows and after I formatted my Window 7 and am now on Windows 8, I don't have my Sublime text preferences with me and was wondering how people are versioning and syncing theirs. In vim ( which I don't claim to be an expert user), every setting is in .vimrc. Including the vundler bundles. Now, I have to reinstall all the plugins from Package Control. How do I version the settings? Get a list of installed plugins? Those were my questions, after having used Sublime for a few months now.
If you have to vote for a budget, you have to have a majority, and everybody knows that. And small parties know you'd have to pay them if you want the budget passed. Between those, you have also some agenda you probably want to advance, and this requires majority too. So unless the principle of the ruling party is to make as litte laws and humanly possible - and don't get me wrong, I'd love such party, but it is very rare - they'd have to form a majority, even if temporary. And the temporary one is more dangerous because you'd have to pay each time you need it.

Italy is in no way unique at this, of course, there are many more countries with same problems.
Though the article is new to me I don't understand the context of this submission.

(Never using web.py and not being fully aware of Django's status in 2005) I see that overall they seem to have faired well. All you need is a settings.py file to run a Django app. The templating is slow performance-wise but pretty expressive.

I love that the Django community as a whole is pretty responsive to criticism. The 'Why Django Sucks' talk at DjangoCon is an example. My biggest complaint was the horrible User model (you cannot not have 'username' for a Django app using the User model). But they've fixed it now. The major complaint against Django is that it is monolithic, but the devs have worked hard to keep the system decoupled allowing one to replace most modules. But if you want something small Django is not the one for you I guess, and there is nothing wrong in it. One size fits all is never possible to achieve and not a good solution too.
I don't really see how your comment is relevant. The important turn of events here is how a piece of opensource software can apparently be retroactively removed from the internet.

The conditioning on Sex/Class seems to be the best way to illustrate the trends in these 4 dimensions.

Thanks you very much!!!

Actually our potential users are those who are used to using many devices throughout the day. We think of people between 16 and 40 years aprox. We also want to be used by companies in the future, but we know we'll need to have a big community and many apps available to make them want to be in.

We will win money in three ways: we offer 3GB free to everybody, if you want more disk space you'll have to pay; we will also offer special accounts for companies, with linked accounts and special features; finally, we will ask for 15% of the income developers make using weeZeel Store.

We know Google is one of our competitors and we know it will be really hard to win. With Chrome OS Google has proven thay think just as we do, but we aren't afraid, we know it will be a very tough fight but we aren't scared of them.

One of the big problems Google has is that their products aren't well linked. They offer Google+, Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs... but it's like they were different products that don't work so good together (by the way, weeText works better than Google Docs).

Another problem about Google is privacy, if you read their terms and conditions you'll see ALL the data you upload will automatically become theirs. When talking about taking all your files to the cloud will you really upload your personal files knowing they will become property of Google?

Finally, Chrome Web Store only works in Google, if you want yo use all the apps available you have to use Chrome. This also happens with Chrome OS, you have to have it installed. weeZeel is universal, it works anywhere you go and in every device you use, you just need internet and a modern browser in order to enjoy weeZeel.

Destinations vs. Distribution: Delivering Your Products Where Your Users Are
I would prefer a settings page where i can opt in oder out for certain mailings (if not mandatory) and set the timesettings myself.

Relying on the header information might lead to wrong results as some people changed settings and it relies on the browser. (Though i guess thats not valid for many users)

But while you're there, one can also set time to receive emails themself. Maybe i want to have it earlier because half of my tasks already need to be done by 7am.

Of course, the best is to combine both, having a settings page with default value gathered from the browser.
