Hi,

First, I agree that they should not lump themselves in the same category. Second, I am not sure there is any point in crying yourself hoarse about how "different" you are when the general public who are looking for you using natural language constructs are not being allowed to access you in the first place by the "market leader". Going forward this that line of thought, I am reproducing my reply from below to your point, as it seems relevant here as well. (Apologies for the multiple posting).

If you read @yegge's original response from below (I reproduced it here)

This only started happening after I asked about the domain name. It used to point to a history page about Duck Corporation (previous name of On2 -- http://web.archive.org/web/20100802014055/http://duck.com/), similar to http://www.on2.com/, which was acquired by Google in the same acquisition.

Google should legitimately not sell it to me, though it would have been of course nice to do so when I first asked in 2010. I think an appropriate remedy would be to either point it nowhere, point it to the original page it had been pointed to for many years, or point it to the acquisition page (as http://on2.com still does) -- all things they do in other cases if you look at past acquisitions.

Effectively it is Google's fault because they are doing it now specifically in his case and not for others (as he mentions clearly) (because from their own tracking of searches, they probably found out that DDG is gaining significant traction -- this is my own opinion)

Secondly, while it would be nice to pre-empt all angles and all possibilities etc., etc., but I don't think any of us can foresee every possible way something will come back to bite your backside in the future. So, no, I don't think that it is somehow DDG's fault that they did not foresee this and preempt it.

P.S: FWIW, google renamed themselves from googol to google because the VC mispelled their name on the cheque. Just goes to show that such things are a fact of life. People have every right to vaguely try to look up "Duck something" search engine. However, Google is definitely in the wrong for sneakily redirecting users back to their own engine in this case by misusing this vagueness.
I am ardent DDG fan,but i cant seem to win over my non-CS buddies to use it,simply because duckduckgo sounds funny& laughable.I wish they could switch to a flashier name.
According to http://www.nytimes.com/allbusiness/AB4113314_primary.html (and just about every other source google points me to) , a sole proprietor has unlimited personal liability for the obligations of the business.

What's your source for saying that it provides limited liability?
I largely agree with what you're saying, but at some point some of the workers eating the dogfood become the managers buying the dogfood. Sometimes (hell, maybe the majority of the time) their decisions are self-serving and uninformed; but sometimes their decisions really are based on making the organization as successful as possible under their current circumstances.

It's at this point that we look at what the majority of dogfood buyers are buying and realize that the influence of software developers is probably less than the influence of the people buying the software (sorry for restating the obvious there).

Anyway, the point, if I have one, is that the mass of office workers probably does tell you something about the direction of the software world -- and in fact, if we consider the net worth of IBM, Oracle, SAP, CSK, MSFT, Intuit, Autdesk, etc.; we might find we are at odds about where the 'tremendous' influence is coming from, if there is any such thing as 'tremendous' influence at all.

One book I found very valuable (and discovered on another HN thread) was Gerald Weinberg's "Secrets of Consulting." That book generated lots of good ideas. If you pause at the publication date, don't. You'd be shocked how little this stuff changes, until you realize (as Weinberg explains) it's always a people problem, and people haven't changed.

I also recommend Patrick's recent podcasts/interviews on the subject.
Flash is still installed on over 99% of desktop browsers. And the pdf viewer is way too slow (at least for me) for real world usage.
Firefox also has x86_64 builds for Linux, and OS X too.

I don't know why 64-bit Windows is a particularly difficult combination for apparently all browsers (but IE).
It's fine to have pain, but to say "nobody can understand this pain" when huge numbers of people are almost certainly worse off is hyperbole.

> maybe you’ve walked down one of those streets yourself!

Damn yes I walked down those Cherbourg streets. Day for day, nine years ago I met a girl in a MMORPG, and two weeks later I actually crossed France on a bluff to physically meet my wife there.

This makes those composited shots quite a bit more emotional.
I have to assume it is probably a problem for IE too, but MS is the only browser vender really in a position not to be particularly bothered by whatever it is that could be causing that trouble. I too have no idea what that trouble could be though.
the developers of Grand Turismo, the video game, asked famed F1 designer Adrian Newey[0] to design the ultimate race car for their game. The question was:

He came up with the Red Bull x2010[1]

Well, Microsoft does have only a single target platform, unlike most other browsers, perhaps that's the main issue. Microsoft also only targets recent Windows versions with new IE releases, also unlike most other browsers.
Relationship between muscle strength and anthropometric, body composition...
Because enterprise. Go look at IE8 stats right now. Keep in mind IE10 does not support this, so ask yourself when nobody will even be left on IE10.
We investigated the link between muscle strength and anthropometric, body composition parameters in Japanese adolescents. Forty eight men and 189 women, aged 15 - 19 years, were enrolled in this cross-sectional investigation study.

That's where I got lucky.

I've always had a passion for publishing and have tended to build up news sites, blogs, and now e-mail newsletters in the areas I find interesting. So prior to both the course and my screencast, I already had a five figure audience on the right topics and a huge home advantage.

I'll note, however, that this is by no means required, and people in my position frequently become friendly with others with such projects and help them out.

Ask HN: Best way for a new developer to learn Django?
Hey guys, I am looking to finally get in to web development with Django. Django and Python are in a weird stage right now, add in the fact I don't have any development experience and I am lost on how I should get started. I am first year CS student and have been learning Java in class, but I have taught myself Python at the same pace and am more comfortable programming in Python. I have been using 3.xx, not that it is a huge deal for Python, but I am wondering if I should try to use the latest version of Django so I can use the same version of Python I have been using.

My main question though is what is the best way to learn Django? I do not have ANY experience with a framework like this, my only experience is Python, HTML, CSS, some Javascript and a little bit of jQuery. Many people say just to use the documentary online, and I feel this would be good if I had some kind of development background. I am really looking for a book to purchase that is focused towards teaching the basics inside and out. From there I can start to hack stuff together and go off on my own, that is just the way I learn. So if you guys would suggest a book, what would it be? Otherwise what other options should I consider?

Might try this with my father's collection of photos from east Germany in the 1970s and 1980s. It'd be interesting to compare the Marxist state to the current one. Good excuse for a holiday as well :)

Thanks to the poster for this: it's a great idea and the photographs are wonderful.
Django has great documentation, so it will be more than enough to get you started, and if you want to use the latest version of Django then your best option will be Django documentation. https://docs.djangoproject.com

the whole ruby culture seems to be this toxic one where you're respected in proportion to how rude you are.

Could you provide some examples? The most respected Rubyists I can think of, even if I'm not particularly friendly with them myself, are notably nice and frequently go out of their way to help people.

It is trendy to join the pile on against the Ruby community but little evidence remains to be found for its validity.
I'm sorry I jumped to the wrong conclusion. Not very sorry, but a little bit.

FWIW, it deserve respect to shut down something you built with your own money.

In hindsight, I think you would have gotten an entirely different response had you said "We can't run Charm with the team we currently have, there are technical challenges we can't solve". Understandable and believable. But for all the people dealing with problems like the one you blamed on a regular basis, saying what you did just sounds like:

"We spent or life-savings building this great house! But it keeps running out of toilet-paper, so we burned that s"#¤ down!!"
Between independent clauses linked with a transitional phrase or a conjunctive adverb:
Everyone knows he is guilty of committing the crime; of course, it will never be proven.
...
This is the least common use, and is mostly confined to academic texts.

In your example, "then" is the conjunctive adverb.

Edit: By the way, I love having grammar discussions on the internet. Let's make a grammar discussion club, so we can really go at it, and maybe try and keep the grammatic national socialism out of hackernews.

For 150 users (which is a pretty small company in the grand scale of things) in one location and without too complicated authentication/authorization needs OpenLDAP is fine. Active Directory really comes into its own when you have lots of users, lots of locations, lots of admins (each responsible for a different area) and a more complex authentication/authorization structures (assuming you are running a fairly pure Microsoft stack).
This being HN, here's the obligatory disruption remark.

Ripe for disruption.

> What steps do you take to ensure clients pay you on time and what actions do you take when they don't?

1. I only work with clients that I trust. How do I find out if I can trust them? Extensive interview process. Is their business sustainable? Have they worked with freelancers before? Do they have references for me?

2. I have clients pay me up front. No, seriously. I have a contract that lists my rate and asks for the money up front. If they want different payment terms, we can negotiate from there (and usually to a point that we're both happy with).

3. I don't let myself get 'underwater' with a client. I use Harvest to monitor the time I spend working on client projects. It sends me a notification when I get within (80%) of the time allotted on the contract. I have a text expander snippet that I fire off to the client with something like 'Hey, we're at 80% of the time you've paid for on the project' and let them know if I think we'll need more time or need to reduce the scope.

4. I attempt to collect in this order:

(a) Phone call to the company [the person I'm working with on their side] confirming they received my invoice (10 days after due)
(b) Phone call to the person who signed my contract confirming they received my invoice (15-20 days)
(c) Repeat phone call to the person who signed my contract (30-40 days)
(d) Letter from my attorney

How often have I had to use these? Once. Why so infrequently? Because I follow points 1, 2, and 3 with new clients.
It's not at anywhere near that level, but I've been involved in PACS (online radiology result viewing) rollouts across hospitals three times (or 2.5 depending on how you define it), and it doesn't matter how well you train people, or how clever they are. If they aren't interested, they won't learn. Even if the new system is quicker or faster or better. Until you throw the printer out, everyone wants film. The cynic in me sees people, broadly, as untrainable.

Great. Thanks for making it available freely. It will be very useful to build desktop application with bootstrap and node-webkit or appjs for example.

Forget the embassy. This man had an Interpol Red Notice issued because he is wanted for questioning about why he did not wear a condom with someone he had been sleeping with regularly.

Does that sound like standard operating procedure to you?

And what's this "If Assange had gone to Sweden" nonsense. He was in Sweden, in fact he prolonged his stay for a month and a half longer trying to talk to police. They did not even want to interview him.

Now months later they're trying to extradite him back into country.

If you don't find this all suspicious, then you aren't paying attention.

At the risk of intentionally misunderstanding the OP's definition of the word 'asset', aren't their developers supposed to be their most valuable asset? I'm not saying they are, just that if they aren't (anymore), I'd worry about that instead.
I've not tested it (due to not having a phone with a front-facing camera), but I'm not confident there's support for it yet.
I happen to know of two CIOs of very large enterprises who went with LDAP instead of AD with a very clearly stated goal of not being locked into a single vendor.

So it's happening, even if it's just a trickle at the moment.
This is probably a good time to give my thanks and appreciation to HN Search, however. I use it a lot and it's a very useful tool. I appreciate whoever does all the work on it.

Feel free to leave similar comments as it might give someone a smile while they're being hassled to fix this over Thanksgiving.. ;-)
Have you seen how people use gif animations? Video is completely different format than animated images in today's internet. If video formats were preferable, things would have already changed.

Animated images have several advantages:

-Almost all places that support images support also animated image

-Can be downloaded and reposted (as opposed to canvas)

-No worry about audio, there is no audio

-Seamless looping

-Auto play everywhere

-Variable frame rate

These features could be achieved in a video format, but how would you convince websites that support images to support video with these characteristics?

For example, I would never let people upload autoplaying, looping videos as their avatars or as part of their comment unless I could be 100% sure that there will be no audio. I would have to inspect the video for audio and I would need different handling for images and videos.

The nature of the startup in this case would be an app or a system as a service or a product.
Reminds me of the best-selling parable of two mice and cheese, that I read before I had exposure to any real-world situations one might compare it with.

I thought the story was moronic. The mice made stupid decisions based on available information, performed no secondary actions, and the suicidal one was the one we were supposed to emulate.

Of course, I now understand a little better why people liked the story, but I'm glad I read it way back when I didn't.
I'm amazed that someone with FU Money hasn't funded some kind of underwater equipment to be bolted onto ships like yours, and a website to collate that data and any other data that people want to contribute.

I guess it's a problem that most submarines are military vessels - they could collect lots of data but releasing that data is tricky.
In the present study, attempts have been made to modify Marble Sludge (MS) filled Ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) with Chloroprene rubber (CR). Compounding was carried out on a two-roll mill and vulcanized at 155℃. The modified blend of MS filed EPDM/CR was characterized on the basis of the effect of blend ratio on cure characteristics, mechanical and swelling properties of blends were investigated. The effect of thermal aging on mechanical and swelling behavior in aromatic, aliphatic and chlorinated solvents of cured MS filled EPDM/CR blend was also examined. The minimum torque and maximum torque of the blend first increased and then slightly decreased after the increasing of CR content in MS filled EPDM/CR blends. Scorch time, cure time, cure rate index, tensile strength, tear strength, hardness increased with increasing CR content in the MS filled EPDM compound, but elongation at break, resilience, abrasion loss, mole % uptake, swelling index and percentage of soluble fraction decreased, resilience, abrasion loss, mole % uptake, swelling index and percentage of soluble fraction decreases. Accelerated aging performance of cured composites also influenced by increasing CR content in MS filled EPDM compound.
If a slightly noisier than usual bicycle of all things "destroys" your environment, then you have some seriously deep-seated issues. I mean, give me a fucking break, where could you possibly live that such a thing could be a notable offender? Otherwise you are just being an obnoxious drama-queen troll.

Are you really, genuinely, unfamiliar with the concept of an idiom? No, I doubt that; you aren't stupid, you are just a troll.
But to me, comparing LDAP to AD is like comparing an engine to a car, isn't it?

LDAP is a protocol, it is not a standalone service. Don't you also need a client-side authentication mechanism and server-side sharing system that is seemlessly compatible with LDAP?
This is really great to give a sense on how WW2 was close to our current world. Sometimes when you learn about the war in History books it all seems distant and far but it was actually very, very close to us in time.

No it´s not really a problem ;), it´s just to add on the monthy python´s meme.
I'd like to add ESRI to that list if I may.
The biggest takeaway is that Google owns duck.com (through acquisition), duck.com pointed to a web page for the company they acquired up until DuckDuckGo made enquiries about potentially getting it, duck.com was then pointed toward google.com. That's probably the biggest dick-move Google has made, and they're perfectly within their rights to do it. It's still a dick-move, Google doesn't need to worry about DDG ever attaining marketshare in a meaningful manner, and DDG have said they're not interested in that.
That does not seem to explain why 64 bit is apparently more problematic on Windows than on other platforms. Could you elaborate on that?
