It's more than likely that manufacturers aren't too excited about this. They like having control over pricing and this removes that to some extent.

They go to great lengths in order to make sure individual dealers play by the same rules (compliance) for this very reason.

Autoconf and Automake? Although they might seem obscure at first glance, the Autotools are stable and reliable for developing robust and efficient build systems, and the mailing lists are always helpful.
But what does an incremental build take?

If still bad you might try the Samsung 840 Pro SSD, or even a ramdrive. ;)
A week is a far cry from months. Range, reliability, and delivery guarantees are also an issue with phones.

The only real argument against pagers is that it's another thing to carry around, but in that regard modern pagers are a lot better than dumb-cellphones so pagers still have the advantage (because lets face it, people are still going to want their smartphones).

(Well, that and "they are old, and old is lame", which is not really an argument. ;)
Oooo the caraffe is slick!
More people sharing bandwidth = more signups = more customers = more $$$
The ability to recycle the filters should have been played up more! That's one of the biggest things I hate about my current Brita filter.

Would be interesting to see the subscription cost for filters after the initial run.
Debunking the Myths of RPC & REST
Why don't people like Facebook auth?
I'm building an app which currently supports one-click register/login via Facebook authentication (using Passport.js). I got a lot of feedback from people saying they won't sign up until I support other things - Twitter, Github.. but primarily standard username/password auth. To me, one-click signup seemed so convenient, so I didn't get it - when I asked them, they just said they don't like Facebook auth, but couldn't provide a reason. Reasons I can think of would be (1) security heebie jeebies (I now have too much info on you) (2) you don't use Facebook. Are these the reasons y'all don't like Facebook auth?

Stop ranting on twitter and discipline yourself to only use it to build your brand. No more socio-political I can haz cheezeburger tweets. Tweet useful information within some domain, you'll be surprised at the quality of people who will introduce themselves to you because you give them value.
Congratulations, you've just invented politics. :)

Pretty terrible search.

Looked for Toyota Tundra, found none. Typed it in again, and chose a few of the auto-completes suggested to me. No results. Looked for a F-150, no results. It's one thing to not have some of the most popular automobiles available, but quite another to not have results for something that you suggested I search for. Besides that, what is this supposed to do? If I click on one of the cars that it happens to have I get a blank page. Is this supposed to help me buy a car? See what's out there? Know fair value? I just think that someone jumped the gun on this, and it could be executed on quite a bit better
Nice idea, but I dislike claims like:

Soma's proprietary formula produces the best tasting water.
You'll notice a crisp, pure taste you won't find anywhere else.

Really? While I appreciate water filtering, I want some real evidence that this water filter is considerably better than any other water filter on the market.
Bootstrap-styled UITextField control for iOS
If you're running a few services and sites on the same box you need some sort of proxy listening on port 80 reverse proxying incoming requests to the correct internal port. i.e. an incoming request looking for "www.mynodeapi.com" could be internally routed to "127.0.0.1:8080" (or wherever your node app is listening). The proxy could be nginx, haproxy or perhaps even a node app using node-http-proxy. AFAIK, if you need proper web sockets support your proxy has to be node based or haproxy.
How big is it? Seems like pretty essential information, but I can't see it on the page. The entire top half seems to be made of glass, so it's pretty big relative to the amount of water it carries.

I'm not sure if having a filter delivered to you every two months is all that sustainable. And the people I know who filter their water wouldn't want any kind of plastic in it's path; but the people who filter water here are pretty fanatic about that. I guess the main attraction in the US is to get rid of the chlorine?

Oh and $33 per delivery also seems like a lot? Are filters that expensive? (The page says the 3 filters in the first real pledge are $100+ in value.)

(Edit: it's $15, see below, much more reasonable, sorry about that.)
That kinda defeats the purpose of restricting ports under 1024.
It seems that google is slowly migrating google apps platform to not just being reliant on using all googles apps/services. IE: Postini users will be migrated next year to Google Apps (but not require to be using gmail).

That's great considering that a single Brita is about seven bucks.
I'm curious to figure out how your strategy is relevant when put next to the existing solutions, especially the Open Source ones; Rundeck [1] & ControlTier [2] or SaltStack [3] are all directly targeting this space (and can be really powerful). Less specific, and at the same time more powerful, are tools like Chef or Puppet.

What would Commando.io would do better than existing alternatives? I would assume that you'd have to provide a compelling argument for any client to hand over SSH access to his infrastructure, no?

I'm genuinely interested in your thoughts on that.

The human rights record of the USA is not reasonably comparable to that of China.

I basically agree that the USA shouldn't be on a high horse with China regarding environmentalism, since China is doing precisely what the USA did when it originally industrialized. That doesn't make China's environmental travesties OK, but it does rob them of some moral impact, at least from Americans.
and less worries from investors if you are commercializing something based off of work done in university. No worry that in a couple years when things are taking off the university is going to come back looking for their cut.
I was an intern this past summer and it was pretty unique to see the event unfold from the inside.
Definitely worth AB testing this - But I believe that testimonials work on the human herd-instinct-purchasing thought process - e.g - I don't want to be the first (and maybe only) person to have bought X. Seeing a list of people having purchased X before me is rather comforting. Due to this, testimonials with pictures of real people have the most impact in the decision making process - especially if (i) the SAAS website is relatively unknown and (ii) its a SAAS for consumers (i.e. customers are consumers and not businesses).
This only grants that right to a single executable--it doesn't allow everyone on the system to bind to low port numbers.
Not a good idea to hardcode the name of the "owner". Standard practice is to setuid/gid to 65535 (nobody).
I've seen unblock-us.com being recommended a lot. I signed up for it a couple days back to get my Burn Notice fix and it's definitely awesome. I went through the trial a month ago and found the streaming to be real crap (maybe I just went through it at a bad time) but after signing up for a month it's now great.

The US Netflix has so much great content (but we have all the cool BBC stuff here too).

They won't need luck, they have the rubber stamps of "National Security" and "We Promise We'll Only Use It For Bad Guys". I imagine that someone somewhere could find a way to apply the interstate commerce clause to let the US gov do what it wants there, too.

They've already been effectively wiretapping and storing a lot, if you believe some of the recent whistleblowers, and so far there's been no effective pushback.
It kinda does, unless you restrict execution of nodejs to root/nodejs group anyways. It's like setting /bin/bash setuid.

New NASA Mars Rover to Launch in 2020
This is a great idea, but it's much much much too expensive.

I want the sensors to be under $10, and maybe a $50 - $100 hub to work with them.

Edit: And there's a service fee???? (Waived for the first customers.) No way!! am I relying on something that needs to 3rd party to work. (Never even mind the fact that you have to pay them - just the fact that they need to exist makes this a non-starter for me.)

I bet they gave Netflix a much lower price for this version of the contract rather than much sooner.

Isn't this an argument to to continue using the term "leaders"? Surely calling them "rulers" would, under your logic, push them further towards "rulership"?
What exactly is filtered by this? In Germany, water from the tap is commonly found to be cleaner than the stuff you can buy in plastic bottles.

The only application that comes to mind would be regulating water hardness.
Looks very interesting... Just tried a typeform on my iPhone, great UX!
I think he is referring to the fact that significant CPU resources are required for DPI and if the DPI can't keep up, things will slow down.
Just finished reading this. Overall I agree with the main point (that quality control is easier to deal with when onshoring versus offshoring) but I think that that's something China can account for and improve on in the relative short term.

The thing that China CAN'T overcome at least in the short term is both the cost of shipping and the amount of time shipping takes. As the article mentions, a shipment of product can take up to 6 weeks whereas products produced in the US can be shipped within hours of completing production. There's just not any reasonable way for offshore production companies to overcome this issue that I can see in the short term and that could drive the onshoring movement aggressively, especially with the constantly increasing costs of fuel.
Just so you know, you can be friends with a person but 'unsubscribe' from him/her so that the person's posts and updates no longer show up in your newsfeed. I've started unsubscribing from people en masse recently and it's really gone a long way towards making facebook more pleasant to use, though of course it still has its problems when it comes to privacy, commercialism, distraction, etc.
That's true--since node can run arbitrary code for you, you'd want to restrict execution of node to a known set of users.
That's true, but all humans have the same human rights and he's a human, so the law is largely irrelevant in any discussion regarding ethics and democratic ideals.

Thanks so much for the advice. My school is not so good at technology and I'm the only one that knows so much about computers. I will never stop listening to those better than me. Also, I will not give up coding. Thank you for taking the time to give me feedback. I really appreciate it!
Twitter is great for five things: Links to long reads, breaking news, short-form comedy, status updates, and contacting interesting strangers. Most people start using Twitter for just one of those five things and discover the other ones later. For me, the first thing was breaking news. I started following individuals on the ground in the early days of the Arab Spring, and Twitter blew all of the traditional news sources out of the water.
"let mobile browsers download small apps and execute them within the browser window"

If you want to know how this turns out you only have to look at the evolution of browser plugins (applets->flash,silverlight,unity,etc) that has taken place for the last 20 years. We could also decide to skip all that and just concentrate on moving forward the HTML spec and tools to make better mobile web applications.
I think the design is great, and from a business perspective I like their desire to do it on a subscription basis (like Proactiv for example). As a consumer, that annoys me a bit, but I guess they'll see how it turns out.

HOWEVER, the United States has pretty awesome water coming right out of the tap. And charcoal based filters are mostly taste filters. They aren't going to remove most pollutants (you'd need a reverse osmosis filter for that). It's an aside to this product discussion, but I really don't know how we've been duped into buying products that support a whole industry of bottled water and water purification. I say that as I look at my dumb brita filter on the counter...
It's great, and I absolutely love how I can independently host Google Play and Chrome Store.. oh wait a second.
Actually, even in the classical Unix security model, setuid'ing to nobody is considered a bad idea. Because so many services do it, giving an attacker an opportunity to become nobody will likely grant him access to those other services as well.
Honestly, I don't know what terrifies me more about such businesses: storing my personal information on pieces of paper with no way to track their movement, or storing my personal information on (what is most likely) unsecured computers. They are both pretty horrific, but I think I prefer them to store it on paper if they can't/won't afford to have secure computers.

I can't count how often I've seen doctors offices use Windows 2K or XP Home Edition this year alone. Even saw a doctor use a computer after closing down "does your computer have viruses" IE popups -- and then proceeding to enter my private info into their (probably HIPAA-certified, which, at that point meant squat) patient tracking application.

Just saying that paper is not always necessarily worse than electronic records.

Ah, I misunderstood your proposal. This would actually be a great update and is pretty plausible.

Like, a streamlined way of installing an app and the ability to launch it with some URL the first time. Relatively easy, not a platform threat.
No but some limited functionality could be possible I think. Maybe a limited free play period or the ability to watch others play but not take part until they have subscribed.

British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) Says UK Economy ‘Not As Bad In 2012′
Yep, I've left Facebook several times and Event listings (and the list of who is attending) are always what drags me back.

But that's just a network effect - if those listings were elsewhere, I wouldn't need to return. Someone really needs to make an events app where identity is tied to Twitter / AppDotNet / Email instead. And while you're at it, connect to my Last.FM & Rdio so you can suggest/predict events for me based on my musical taste as well as my interests & friends network.
Seriously. That's asinine.
That's the part that caught your eye? I'm still trying to figure out why a bicycle needs to be fireproof.
Other restrictions besides bandwidth exist. For example, DPI requires more CPU and memory, which are some of the major constraints of networking equipment, especially when the equipment resides at the edge (borders) of a Tier 1 ISP.

Rethinking the iOS lockscreen

Why exclusive? I can understand why Netflix would want it, but this means that Netflix has to pay a ton more money, thus limiting their ability to get more of these deals. As a Netflix subscriber, I'd rather see them signing more non-exclusive deals than fewer exclusive deals.

For Disney, it seems a ridiculous move -- why not offer multiple channels? It seems very shortsighted to sign these exclusive contracts when the marketplace is so immature. Why not get money for every channel that's willing to pay you?

I don’t see Star Wars coming to Netflix anytime soon unfortunately. Disney paid $4 billion for LucasFilm to acquire essentially the rights for the Starwars franchise. And, IMO LucasFilm still makes a lot of money from Star Wars DVD & Blu-ray’s sales (for instance: http://io9.com/5843342/star-wars-blu+rays-break-sales-record...).

Overall, Lucas has made close to $3.8 billion with DVD sales (http://www.statisticbrain.com/star-wars-total-franchise-reve...). This is one of the reasons why Star Wars movies are not available on iTunes and other VOD platforms.

Putting those titles on Netflix would decrease their value. Netflix would have to pay big money for that…
It's actually been out for some time now. Here's an article from June 28, 2012 detailing it in more depth: http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2188016/Google-Cars-New...

Not saying that makes it any better... just saying its not something that was launched yesterday.
I guess the point is to make DMCA claims more annoying to file, or at least to automate. I'd also hope that in true HN spirit, this is intended to be portable, so that if enough web sites replicated this policy, it would seriously handicap DMCA claimants.

Of course, this only works if the "not by email" requirement is legal. IANAL, let alone an American one, but I'd love to read informed opinions about the legal validity of this point.
It seems to be. Pulled up a cargo moving van for me, something I had recently searched for but have no interest in actually owning.
And it still doesn't do the one thing that I wanted it to. Namely, letting me play the video whilst the phone is locked. It's extremely silly really, that if I wanted to listen to a playlist of music, I have to keep the phone unlocked the entire time.

In the meanwhile, I'm going to continue using Jasmine. Its what the youtube app should be.
D'oh, yeah, sorry, at second glance it's fairly obvious.
IOS Blog are giving away an Apple iPad Mini 16gb
Seems about even, or more expensive if you put it that way... However the grocery store doesn't automatically charge you if you decide not to buy a new Brita filter this month.

It looks like this will be a successful Kickstarter, so bravo to them! It's not directed at me. Words like organic, vegan, and compost-able do not attract me, and I could care less if my water pitcher is beautiful.
yeayea, waterloo ;)
I was thinking the same thing! Netflix may not even be around by 2016...

I really hope they manage to get more 'hot' content soon, since (in my opinion) Amazon appears to be releasing attractive content at a much faster rate.
Disney own ABC and are BFFs with Apple. They already have a bunch of places to go through, and it's probably in their interest to shut out their competitors in the respective space anyway.
It sounds like you are wanting to use some classes (like btn-group) as mixins, when this would not be a good practice, even if it worked the way you are attempting. You don't want to compile the btn-group less to css in every instance of it's usage, it would be repetitive. That's why it's a class rather than a mixin. I see mixins mainly as timesavers to simplify stuff which requires browser prefixes or can be reused through variables. So I wouldn't want to drop .btn-group into a customized class I'm writing, I'd just include it in <ul class="btn-group custom-class">.

I might be misunderstanding you, and I might just be wrong (I am not a less expert).
It's great that the dates are known.

Indie devs can book flights and hotels to visit San Francisco regardless of whether they have an I/O ticket or not. If they don't get a ticket they can organise their week around other events e.g. work at coworking spaces, attend tech events, meet friends, some sight-seeing etc.

Companies could arrange a similar schedule for their employees. Just being in San Francisco to network and meet potential partners and clients is as valuable as attending I/O sessions.

An added bonus of knowing the dates early is that you can now plan your family vacation or company off-site without worrying about potentially missing out on a tech conference.
Looking at the snippet of code: Isn't that sample (probably) confusing group and user?

process.setgid('tlhunter');
process.setuid('users');

I'd expect that 'users' is the group here and 'tlhunter' the user 'thomas l. hunter'?

In fact I tried San Francisco water, and it was completely fine. And there's also the obvious question about the carbon footprint of bringing coconut shells to US for manufacturing.

On the other hand, in several places in Poland a water filter is, actually, fairly useful.
