What is the DESIGN BY @DCURTIS thing? This isn't built into Obtvse is it? Is this even using Obtvse?

Did a view source. Yes the author is using Obtvse but I don't think the DESIGN BY @DCURTIS thing is from Obtvse.
I tried. I really, really tried, but I could not get it to install on Arch, with either AUR or cabal. Dependencies were broken, wouldn't even compile.
I submitted a track from my band. If you don't like the track or don't think it's promotable for whatever reason, will you give me that specific feedback? I'd like to have that feedback vs. a form letter, especially if I pay $20.
I decided to move my company, Banyan, to Chattanooga Tennessee. I know that may sound radical, but Chattanooga has a thriving startup scene. It reminds me alot of Austin, before Austin blew up. I personally feel like its about to explode here, and Im lucky enough to have gotten here at the right time.

Chattanooga has a lot of really awesome things about it, here are a few:

- Booming startup scene with dozens of startups all close together & growing quickly.

- Low cost of living. I pay about 1/4th of what the average cost of an apartment in the valley is, for a beautiful loft located right in Downtown ( I ride my longboard to work everyday)

- Chattanooga was the first city in the northern hemisphere with gigabit ethernet http://www.thegigcity.com/

- Amazing outdoor scene for rock climbing, kayaking, hiking and more

- The local government & the state of tennessee are investing heavily in the tech scene (see gigcity)

- Big & active angel investment scene. We raised money here & in the valley with no problems. The quality & integrity of investors here is also very high.

- A very high quality of designers. Chattanooga is a very hip & art inspired place

- Just an hour and a half from Georgia Tech, Atlanta, Nashville, & other larger cities

- High quality engineers at a low cost w/ great cultural fits for us ( they like whiskey & working hard)

Im working on a few initiatives to bring some more attention to whats going on in Chattanooga over the next few months. I would be happy to answer some questions & would honestly tell anyone who is serious about moving their company somewhere for growth or looking for somewhere to set up shop to really consider coming here.
I think Instagram shows pretty much the opposite example of the "throw anything at the wall with any techno you want and fix later" mentality that is trendy todays.

They were seasoned enough to choose Python and Postgres, two technologies that are both relatively easy to start with and to scale later.

And, oddly enough, those two technologies are on the "do things right" side, and do not (usually) sacrifice their correctness to some convenience or fashion.

So, sure, one cannot expect to know every corner of the techno one chooses, but still choosing carefully the best options and shielding oneself against current hotness is still not a waste of time or energy.
As a new django user, one of the most confusing issues to deal with is deployment. Many guides say a few hand-wavy things about deployment, and then move on. Can anybody summarize what this book says about deployment?

By the way, congratulations on releasing this! I've been looking forward to seeing what the "mad secret project" was.

So there's no need for it.
Perhaps it's too early and heels are still dug in, but what are the practical concerns for fixing these open ended extremely harsh laws? Clearly removing TOSs from the scope of "authorization" fixes something major, but it's certainly not the whole story and I personally don't think it would have prevented Aaron's predicament.

If part 4 of http://www.volokh.com/2013/01/16/the-criminal-charges-agains... has any truth to it, we really don't want legislation about the TOS authorization issue when we have good precedent for that, and the prospect of a Supreme Court case that solves the problem more cleanly than legislation would.

The suggested legislative fixes that Orrin Kerr recommends seem reasonable to me. I'd personally like to see more informed commentary on that issue.

On rprasad, he made enough clearly wrong assertions about the law from personal authority that I had him on a list of people to assume by default they are wrong. However I still make a point of trying to listen to and engage people I disagree with. (Sometimes to my grief.) I'm not unhappy that he's gone, but if he chose, I think he could have made good contributions to HN.

I strongly suspect that he'd have much more nasty things to say about me than what I just said about him.

The problem we see down in Sydney is that they spend a lot of time and money on the widening of the freeways, but nothing on the infrastructure as soon as you get OFF the freeway. So the traffic still piles back up with huge traffic congestion through all the towns that are connected.

I personally use NameCheap (http://www.namecheap.com/) and can say that they have a reasonably good interface and great support for a low-mid range price from what I've seen shopping around. However, there have been more sites like DigitalOcean (https://www.digitalocean.com/) that offer cloud services which, in the lower tiers, are a great value for smaller projects. If you're looking for something that scales and with more support behind it, I'd probably stick with the more expensive ones just to minimize the potential stress and hassle.

Just some thoughts to be taken as you please :)
The OP is just using a theme someone else put online. Here's what they have to say about it:

Yes, in the same way svbtle is unoriginal.

I certainly don't agree with that.

Sure, but why not just post your real domain then. This is bizarre.
Technical details aside, marriage counseling is among the best decisions I've ever made. Or rather "are among" since we did it twice.

I haven't thought about it much recently until now. The first time was in our second year. The second was when our son was a little over a year. Now he's nearly as tall as me, and we've been married almost 17 years.

Both times the stress of work and professional goals played a role. Getting our relationship working again helped with both over the long term.
I might watch if it actually depicts life in SV. I just hope they don't go too crazy just to get higher ratings.
This kind of stuff is awesome. I made a profiler for ObjC that did a similar thing, but by programmatically creating a new subclass and only profiling certain instances.

On your prevent instrumentation proxy methods; if the original method references ivars without using self.x or [self x] do you notice weird results?
I don't think that was was what he meant; what he said ("I want $2m from all the people who've criticised me") certainly doesn't have to be interpreted that way.
Smart move to charge $20 up front to eliminate the majority of crap - definitely keep charging (and don't forget to A/B test your pricing).

My hunch is that you'll have to provide more than just another artist's opinion for the $20.

Consider additional value you could bundle up for the $20, and create a 'killer offer' that you believe in, and that provides excellent value for the artist. Play with the parameters you bundle into the offer to make it absolutely irresistible. A/B test the offer of course.

Some ideas for bundling additional value into the $20 price:

1. Offer to make it a video review, and transcribe it as well.
2. Publish both the video and transcript on one (or all) of your web properties with links to the artist's website and top social media handles. Get the artist who does the reviews to also link to the artist being reviewed.
3. Create a 'discovery' directory with listings of each artist who paid the $20 for their review - I'm curious to find out about these artists myself - even the ones you don't want to promote - the $20 is an effective filter for both you and I!

Cool idea, and I LOVE to see people taking some risks and innovating the business model for music.
SV/startup culture does deserve some skewering. This will probably be awesome.
Actually, it's the reverse. If you score well on AP and then elect to take the class, you'll probably get a high grade. However, if you take the class and realize you're in over your head, you damaged your GPA. AP credits didn't count at my school for your final GPA, so fewer classes meant each class counted more.

I skipped almost 30 hours of credit with AP. It still took me 5 years to graduate after switching my major 2nd year. If I had to re-take those classes I skipped, I would be 1) bored, and 2) loaded with busy work instead of being able to take classes I wanted. I have friends that had to take Calc 1, whereas I went right to calc 2. Can't say I would have wanted to take it again.
I don't get it. Some developer is no longer able to maintain a project, it happens. So what? As John Nagle says:

"
The process by which language libraries are maintained may have a bigger impact on language success than generally recognized.

A common event for developers is finding a bug in some crucial library function. The big question is, what happens then? There are several models:

1. The library is commercially supported.
1. The vendor is responsive to bug reports. The user submits a bug report and the problem is fixed.
2. The vendor is not responsive to bug reports.
2. The library is supported by volunteers.
1. There is an community supporting the library, with multiple people permitted to make updates.
2. The library is supported by a single person who is active in developing the library.
3. The library is supported by a single person who is not active, and no one else can change the code."

This clearly falls into his last category of 2.3...We are supposed to feel sympathy for some anonymous person on the Internet? I thought Hackernews was a venue for interesting ideas and innovative startups. (edited to include the first sentence)

No offense Dustin (and of course everyone does exactly that) but I thought this post was one of the best ones I've ever read on your network - then it turns out it's not on your network.

Just a thought.

Sometimes I feel like the idiotic marketing decision to name it "JavaScript" is never going to stop haunting us. The only ways out are for 1) Java to die (not going to happen), 2) JS to die (not going to happen), or 3) everybody to start calling it ECMAScript (probably not going to happen).
Actually, there's quite a few, if you you by what you get get to via the subway. That means Everett, Braintree, Quincy, Newton, Medford and several others.

But there's a more systematic way city size is measured: MSA and CSA. Boston's MSA ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston-Cambridge-Quincy,_MA-NH_... ) is 4.5 million, with 4 million being defined as "urban" population. These are all places served by MBTA (which claims to serve 5 million).

Now, the main issue in the way you're looking at it is that those of us from the northeast have an entirely different view of what "urban" is. There are places in the center of Atlanta that have laughable density compared to any northern city, and the Atlanta subway system serves maybe half a million people. And yet Atlanta has a metro population of 5 million with an urban population of 4 million. The threshold for urban is very low compared to what we're used to.

The truth is that the vast majority of American cities feel like they're mostly suburban sprawl. Yes, Boston is dwarfed in size by NYC, LA and Chicago, but Boston is also roughly the same size as SF, DC and Miami. And no matter what the statistics of city-limits population say, it's has more people and is more densely populated than most other cities in the country, including San Diego, Minneapolis, Charlotte, Detroit and Seattle.

As I recall, it's the 5th largest CSA, 10th largest MSA and 4th most densely populated city in the country.
I will be changing the design ASAP. I was using wp-svelte theme and today Dustin contacted me. So I must find another clean and minimalistic theme, I believe.
What about the odds that one's life is going to be disrupted by someone who would violate the CFAA but no other laws (also then multiplied by the chance of said violation actually being successfully investigated and prosecuted) versus the everpresent odds of one's life being disrupted by someone outside of the reach of the CFAA ?
Haha :) I've seen this thing from a tweet from one of my friends. That's more effective for the sake of that project!
I actually like the "flag" on the tail... it's bold and I think a nice abstraction of a flag; I like the way it completely fills the tail and doesn't use gradients (the most annoying of modern airline logo fads..."hey guys... we can do shading now... go wwwwwild!1!").

The rest of the new design is complete crap, of course ("bluh" is a good description, I think), especially that they got rid of the eagle, which was bold, iconic, and managed to combined modernity with a sort of 1930s vibe (i.e., "classic"). Other than the flag, the new design just reeks of risk-averse 1980s corporate mediocrity.
Series A Crunch: Forget Freemium
I don't have anything against the redesign. The one element of their branding that I love (unpainted aluminum) remained, which makes up for anything else. I do kind of miss the "AA" part, though, but the flag and eagle are nice too.
Dustin: I shamelessly agree him! (seriously)
Just start calling it Mocha. That was to be the name originally, iirc, and it's heaps better.

I know one person who calls it ECMAScript. You probably know an awful lot about this person just by my telling you that one thing.
Putting a "Design by @DCURTIS" tagline in the footer is really weird, to me it implies some connection (where there is none). If you are going to copy without permission, don't imply that you have permission like this. I know it probably just comes default in the WP theme, but this applies to you and the theme creator.

I know many will argue it shouldn't matter, but it really makes me subconsciously think less of the blog author and the post's content.
Honestly none of the US legacy carriers are very good. Southwest, Alaska, and Virgin America are really the only US flagged airlines I'd fly, given a choice.
Thanks for elaborating.

Is the CFAA an effective deterrent to this sort of disruption? If the disruption is economic in nature (banking, credit card etc.), the guilty party is likely overseas. If the disruption is of a personally embarrassing nature, prosecution will only occur if the victim is famous. If the disruption is "tragic" (Lori Drew etc.), we probably don't want the law to address it.

I agree that sentencing rules are a serious problem, but that problem is much more general than the CFAA. We have entirely too many people in prison.
Barring my paranoid trepidation of facebook conflating people's social identities with business interests. I'm still very doubtful of this being successful.

I think a lot of exciting internet utilities that come out of silicon valley have a fatal flaw; they're designed for silicon valley.

There's an overzealous assumption that the rest of the users are going to be as hyper-connected and dedicated to maintaining a working, communal database as people in the tech sphere, but they simply aren't.

If there's even a small amount of insincerity or disinterest, the service will be inherently broken. So, based on my experience with facebook, the Social Graph will be inherently broken in lieu of dedicated services that attract actual networks of enthusiasts.
I'd love to help, but I don't think monolithic covers this:

This is not the first time US Attorney Carmen Ortiz has wronged innocent American Citizens. I read on the Internet a case of an Innocent Federal Employee who worked for US Customs in Boston his EEOC case was tarnished as Prosecutors in Boston concealed from the Federal Judge the Employees Right-to-Sue which is a Civil Rights Case under Tile VII of the US Civil Rights Act of 1964. Carmen Ortiz failed to see that an innocent family has been damaged by an OVERREACHING PROSECUTION who hide Civil Rights documents from a Federal Judge. USA Ortiz has done this to innocent Americans to get a Political Stand.

Holy crap, the overdone continuous scrolling and animation makes that page almost useless. Scroll a little bit, and suddenly I'm jumped to a different part of the page. Don't scroll too far up, or it loads the previous article right in place, and doesn't keep you where you were. Then the top-bar seems to come down at random.

What a frustrating example of overdoing an attempt at a "rich experience" thus hindering the user experience of trying to just read the goddamned article. I'll take the bullshit multipage approach that clickmongers use over this goofy and unintuitive interface.

Apple board member Al Gore uses options on 59K shares for $29.2M
I strongly agree with you that the sentencing for CFAA crimes makes no sense. You can do $300 or $5000 or $1000000 worth of damage based solely on the number you type into a for() loop. That doesn't make any sense. I have a hobbyhorse about how the Internet has made criminal mischief so easy to accomplish that people do it without thinking; that the Internet & technology are short-circuiting our judgement. I don't think that the criminality of an act should depend solely on how difficult it was to accomplish. But I also don't think sentences should scale with assessed damages. We already have a remedy that scales with damages: tort claims.

I think a more sensible regime would accelerate the severity of computer abuse based on:

* Commercial intent

* Harm to the public

* Knowing involvement of critical infrastructure

* Malicious intent

* Repeat offenses

* Attempts to obstruct investigation
The best comment.

For the rest which concentrate on technical/project issues:

That is a great point.

"But this is public information that has always been public."

But was it public and OK because Instagram was a separate company? Or was it simply public and OK ? I suspect the outcry would be worse if they just obscured FB owned Apps but that at least would have been a bit more clear in terms of what they were trying to achieve.
Well, Orin Kerr is at least one lawyer who appears to think that the current sentencing limits are unreasonable, at least in some cases. :-) (More precisely, he thinks the current sentencing guidelines are too coarse; they don't differentiate well between different types of cases that deserve very different guidelines.)
But you're right, different subgroups of the population can have very different ideas of what is reasonable.
How about this?

"Commit then flip"
No, it's not an effective deterrent, and that's an ambient public policy problem that probably contributed to Aaron's maltreatment. Every prosecutor in the country has to be painfully aware of the absurdly low percentage of computer crimes that are ever properly investigated, let alone convicted and sentenced under CFAA. As a result, when we get our talons into one unlucky person, they tend to get walloped.

The response to that can't be to make genuine intrusions harder to prosecute. That's the opposite direction we need to go. But regardless of that fact, there's no reason we need to be dangling 5 year sentences in front of first-time offenders.
