I've had that happen countless times with different feeds, it is very rarely on purpose because as you say it leaves a bad taste.

For now, I'd chuck it up to a one-off snafu.
Fatal Cyber-Attacks 'are Possible and Plausible'
Pendulums swing back the other way, though, when there's a game-changing advantage to be had. And server software that only has to produce well-formed output to be sent over the wire has considerable leeway in how those well-formed outputs get produced. We've seen that leeway be exploited in a major way at the programming language level, not so much at the OS level and not at all at the hardware level, yet. The question is what hidden advantages one might uncover by doing so.
What I want to know is if, in the future, I will be able to differentiate between "Is college educated in this subject matter" and "Knows as much about this subject matter as someone who was college educated in it".

There is a keen difference between the two I think.
As has been mentioned, the main header is a typographic curiosity, not a bug. Good design is often controversial. Programmer mentally is at odds with this notion.
I like what they've done. It has brought greater focus to the article content. I'm all for bigger type, and the need to scroll is a non-issue in my mind.

I stopped reading when the author said there weren't good viruses so it should be ok to indiscriminately kill them.
Read TFA which addresses this point in several respects.

From my skimming of the article:

1. Viruses are believed to have had a beneficial effect (or an effect of some kind) on human evolution.

2. Viruses are mainly bacteriophages and it's possible that "good" viruses keep some bacterial populations in check, but no studies have thus far found this in human beings, although it appears to be true of seawater.

3. The antiviral in question is broken up by the body in a few days, so any increase in bacterial populations that might result from the antiviral would probably be short-lived.
Twitter Could Relieve IPO Pressure By Selling $80M Of Early Employee Stock
I would imagine one of his primary concerns through this ordeal is that it has a long-term negative impact on his career. I just see it as his way of trying to maintain some amount of career momentum.
Thanks hypem team for making my blog - ilictronix - such a rewarding time for me. Seeing tracks I posted climb their way to the top became some of the most memorable moments for me (I still mention this sometimes when I'm interviewing for internships!)

So big thanks, you guys are the reason I put so much work into the /new/ ilictronix, http://ilictronix.heroku.com
Nope! But data entry can be meaningful work experience for someone new to the working world. [thanks to _dps for the clarification!]

This is the practical work component of a larger curriculum carried out by civic job training programs. These programs conclude with job placement, so the startups involved simply donate work and forget about it.
I'm into it. Considering including apktool as submodule and building alongside.
You might add a little more definition around movie title / poster / button combinations. Once you scroll away from the top or the bottom it's not immediately apparent which belong to which unless you really look at the poster.

Really appreciating all the feedback I'm receiving and will start right away at implementing all of it. I haven't put a link on the site to follow on twitter yet, but to get updated about new features as I add them follow Movie Cron on twitter @MovieCron ( http://www.twitter.com/MovieCron ).
It's about time for all people to recognize that web server software is an unrestricted broadcasting system by default and that if users want some sort of security they should definitely get behind a firewall or restrict MAC addresses. If they fail to enforce security it should be their fault, not the person accessing them. Apache and other web server software vendors should put that in their license. If that clause had been there maybe Aaron Swartz would still be alive today. As things stand today it's just a lame way to enable irresponsible people to set up web servers and printers containing web servers to put their hands up and way "not my fault."
If people want to play geek they'd better learn geek, No excuses.
It's true that simulation speed is independent of graphics speed in Supreme Commander. The game lets you adjust the simulation speed, although of course if there are too many things happening your CPU can't keep up and it slows back down. If you have a fast computer or there are not many things happening you can run the simulation at 100 ticks per second if you want (although it will be hard to play because everything goes too fast).

That figure comes from the presentation linked to by this post, but I'm not sure where it came from before that. In any case the team had performance problems for a comparatively trivial amount of processing work. Looking at the game you could easily run that game logic at 10000 updates per second when you implement it in C/C++.
>THAT'S THE KEY TAKEAWAY -- HERE ARE TWO RULES OF THUMB:

>(1) Never make comments of an even-remotely sexual nature, joking or otherwise, to anyone, at any time.

So much of humor and personality are bound up in sexuality that this is tantamount to saying, for many people, "Leave your personality at the door."

I also worry that this kind of principle, and especially your second principle, will lead to founders doing the easy thing and simply not hiring women.

Notice that I'm not arguing in favor of sexual harassment or not hiring women.

For an alternate cultural perspective, read Elaine Sciolino's La Seduction: How the French Play the Game of Life, which has a section on the workplace and love; in it she says this:

The game of the sexes also extends deep into the workplace. In the United States, the mildest playfulness during business hours and in a business setting is forbidden; in France, it is encouraged. In American corporations, men are told routinely that they cross the line when they compliment a female employee on the color of her dress or the style of her hair. In France, flirtation is part of the job.

(I wrote more about the book here: https://jseliger.wordpress.com/2011/08/09/la-seduction-how-t...).

It might be that we have a large-scale cultural problem that has bled into legal problems.

While this works in tissue culture...how one would get a protein into every cell in our body is an interesting challenge...One that is much more challenging than the author of the blog seems to think.
The Jevons paradox is sometimes used to argue that energy conservation efforts are futile, for example, that more efficient use of oil will lead to increased demand, and will not slow the arrival or the effects of peak oil. This argument is usually presented as a reason not to impose environmental policies, or to increase fuel efficiency (e.g. if cars are more efficient, it will simply lead to more driving).[7][8] Several points have been raised against this argument. First, in the context of a mature market such as for oil in developed countries, the direct rebound effect is usually small, and so increased fuel efficiency usually reduces resource use, other conditions remaining constant.[6][9][10] Second, even if increased efficiency does not reduce the total amount of fuel used, there remain other benefits associated with improved efficiency. For example, increased fuel efficiency may mitigate the price increases, shortages and disruptions in the global economy associated with peak oil.[11] Third, environmental economists have pointed out that fuel use will unambiguously decrease if increased efficiency is coupled with an intervention (e.g. a green tax) that keeps the cost of fuel use the same or higher.[3]
I honestly felt that statement to be out of place, too. It caught me off guard. While it's admirable that he's not going to let the lawsuit prevent him from continuing his life, I think he could have saved that line for a separate blog post. Not a big deal, just found that it took a bit a way from the serious message he was delivering.
That's a really good idea.

I see it getting quite complicated, though! Dimensions I see are: User's OS, User-agent, ISP/Cell carrier, Transmission protocol (smtp, xmpp, http), service provider (google, microsoft/skype, microsoft/msn).

Then you might have to also include the sender AND receiver information in the domain, so based on a single request you could see all possible implicated parties.

I also thought about putting the sender in the path of the URI, but I think it should be in the domain name, too. This is because you might get a hit on robots.txt and in that case, you'd only have one half of the route in the domain name.

Finally, including everything in the DNS lets you evaluate whether the name was even resolved, and potentially by whom. Getting a hit that the name was resolved but not fetched over HTTP gives you information about which services might be analyzing links in order to queue them for further investigation.
Yeah! What about the rights of viruses! PeTA will be all over this!

Hah, but seriously, we aren't even sure if viruses should be considered "alive" yet. On a scale of marble statue to flesh-and-blood human, viruses are automaton.
Yeah, right...

Do you not believe that darkxanthos moved to Washington?

Do you not believe that darkxanthos moved to Washington (partially) because of the tax situation in California?

Do you not believe that darkxanthos enjoys getting keeping 10% more of their money in an area with lower cost of living?
Yeah, local government enforcement is the most likely way I can see this being effectively enforced.
I'm really glad this is happening. A lot of the traditional funding mechanisms for non-profits seem badly broken, incentive wise. Then again, i've been in DC, where I guess almost everything is badly broken.

The article addresses that - while there are good bacteria, there aren't any known good viruses (sp?).
>I would think that would make #2 poor judgment, too

We've seen a lot of article on HN about how difficult it is for women to break into the tech industry. If legal concerns make men leerier of referring girlfriends or spouses to their own companies, that will make it harder still for women to get in the door.

(Notice that this is an observation, not a policy argument.)
The memories that the older Popular pages bring up was a big motivation to build this. Like the month where MGMT was all over the popular chart: http://hypem.com/popular/week:Apr-07-2008 (and the adjacent weeks)
The Real Culture Wars
You're talking about the OP's project and I was not – at least not when I brought up orders of magnitude. The confusion is my fault. I implicitly changed the subject to my own fantasy tangent.

My point is that if one is going to build a narrow vertical stack up from specialized hardware, there had better be a 10x advantage over running the application the ordinary way or the experiment becomes a why-bother. Also, the application had better be valuable enough to justify the effort.

This vision of systems design has been alive in the Forth community for a long time – maybe not the "iterating on hardware as part of application development" part, but certainly the specialized vertical stack idea, just in a very austere form. They make the tradeoff of dramatically reducing what the software will do in order to make it feasible to develop that way. That's a tradeoff most of us aren't willing to make. But I have a feeling there are more options if one is talking strictly about servers.
Thank you Heather! I could never be bothered to remember the commands for the swiss knife that is sed to do something as simple as this. Why I love this:

- js syntax for regular expressions is what I'm most familiar with
- defaultignore is very helpful
- completely cross-platform
- can be used directly from my other node projects that need to search and replace files
- it's something i'd never be bothered to write because looking up sed syntax takes less time - so thank you for taking the time to do it and open source it!

Don't get me wrong - sed's great cause it's so powerful. Bash is powerful too. But I'm not a fan of either. Software should make our lives easier, not force as to learn cryptic commands to get simple things done. Compare "sed --help" to "replace --help". What will the future generation prefer when they need to do a basic search/replace task? The route of least resistance of course.

Making simple tasks simple is what real innovation is about. I don't consider myself a poor developer, I know a handful of languages, I'm just not a linux geek because I believe that interfaces should come first. I'm a developer / designer and I love simple and elegant solutions to every-day problems. Your module is exactly that. The reason some "experts" are up in arms is because it challenges the status quo. You no longer need to be a linux wizard to search and replace files. Hell - you don't even need linux. And the simplicity and approach of Node is what makes it possible. As Steve Klabnik said - this is actually their way of showing how much they hate node. And hate is a powerful word for "being afraid". And I'd be too if I dedicated a good chunk of my life to becoming a Ruby expert. "Ever wanted to make sed or grep worse?". Hahaha. I guess Apple I was also worse than the all-powerful mainframes of its day. That's probably exactly what the IBM guys said. Buy a PC that doesn't come with a screen? That does only a fraction of what IBM PCs do? Ever wanted to make an IBM PC worse? :) When the experts are afraid - that's when you know the Node movement is on to something.

PS Already almost 400 people have starred your project - I think that's saying something. Would be interesting to know the number of installs :)
A prosecutor's criminal conduct in the context of prosecuting a case would never be prosecuted by other prosecutors. It would set a bad "precedent". If it were shockingly egregious criminal conduct while prosecuting a universally beloved public figure (like Mr. Rogers or Joe Montana or similar), you might see criminal charges in relation to impeachment proceedings undertaken by a legislature, but although that is possible it isn't likely.

Now if a prosecutor did something horrible to children or copyrighted materials or something he might be prosecuted criminally for that, only if it had nothing to do with his work.
A couple of comments have asked for a similar service for Netflix and iTunes. There already is such a service, "Can I Stream.it?" [1]. I have no affiliation with them--I came across them when trying to find out what is available on Netflix so I could decide if I wanted to sign up.

CISI reports on the availability of movies via the following sources, and lets you set up a reminder to tell you when a movie becomes available:

Free or subscription streaming: Netflix, Amazon, Hulu Plus, Crackle, YouTube, Epix, Xfinity Streampix.

Streaming rental: Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, YouTube, Blockbuster.

Digital Purchase: Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, Blockbuster.

DVD/Bluray: Amazon, Netflix, Redbox.

XFINITY subscription: HBO, SHO, Cinemax, Starz, Encore, Xfinity free.

I'm guessing the later is the preferred candidate?
Pretty sure you may assume that people here know what "order of magnitude" means.
Well, unlike bacteria, to my understanding there's only a couple varieties of operational mechanisms for viruses (e.g. RNA virus vs. DNA virus). They bind to a variety of receptors and all that, but it seems like there is far more variety in bacteria, so it isn't surprising an effective anti-viral would be fairly broad in nature.

disclaimer: not a microbiologist.
> Any system of justice is going to put innocent people in jail

And as such, should have multiple methods of finding and remedying instances where this is the case...

If a system of justice is systematically unjust; it can hardly be called a justice system.
Netflix also has a new releases RSS feed, which you might be able to incorporate via a listen-and-update-db client:

Very good point. We certainly don't want to go broke!

However, we feel very strongly that Watsi should be run like a successful startup, and not like a traditional non-profit.

Sustainability is extremely important to us. I'm a terrible fundraiser, and I want nothing more than for us to cover our own overhead.

However, it just doesn't make sense to implement revenue generating features (e.g. take a cut of donations, which to be clear we will never do) until we hit scale. Right now, we're entirely focused on improving our product, speaking with donors, and maximizing our impact.

However, just like any successful startup, there will (hopefully) come a time when the costs associated with scale begin to outstrip the seed-support we've so generously received from people like pg and Jessica. When that happens, we will implement features that generate revenue for our organization, and we'll have a user base large enough to make those features viable.

Without going into too much detail, those features will include things like asking donors for an optional "tip" to Watsi when giving to a patient (expected to net 6-8%), cause marketing products (already a few companies interested), white label, etc.

We will never abandon the 100% model, and I'm completely confident that for as long as there is demand for the service we're offering, we'll find a way to cover our overhead.
I found this research to be incredibly interesting and hacker-like! He essentially didn't try to re-invent the wheel, or break ground with genetic design... Instead, he took well-understood pieces of biology and created a mashup previously unthought of!

And yes, viruses are important for evolution! But having a cure for Colds, flus, and various STDs, that kill thousands would be an amazing achievement. I'm hoping we see this sort of therapy come to market in our lifetime
This isn't very fair. Yes, Granger is describing another kind of object system and yes it is OOP. And yes, this is in the long tradition of CLOS. But all of these sytems are fairly unique and deserves its own description, in this case reactivity is extremely important.
I'm amazed at how many comments there are in line with "OMG this is amazing, now I can decompile thousands of apps blah blah". I write Android apps all day long, but I have yet to find a (legitimate) need to decompile someone else's apps. I suspect all this decompiling, repackaging, and re-signing is designed for people to strip license checks, remove ads, add some other nonsense, and repackage the whole deal for distribution on 3rd-party app stores or websites, without the consent of any of the original developers. I've seen this with my own apps, which are repackaged with different resources, while keeping the code mostly intact. The result is then re-published by someone else. Instead of spending so much energy ripping off other apps, why not create something new? We certainly haven't exhausted what's possible in terms of app breadth and quality.
Clicked on create a reminder and it said "Reminder functionality coming soon". Might have to steal some ideas from their site though :)

Edit: Seems like reminders are available on some movies. Not sure which you can and can not set reminders for.
I did the Google search, and while the first page does indeed show 86K results, as soon as I navigate to the second, the number drops to 13...

Am I the only one with this problem, or did Google really not index "thousands of publicly accessible HP printers"?
Yes they would be. See DannyBee's response to rayiner above.
Committed 43 years ago? the oldest commit?
It feels like his way of saying "Don't worry, I'm ok, I'll be back..."

I agree that it feels tacked on there. Probably would've been better to close with a "thanks for all of the support and understanding..." and wrap it up.
I am wildly confused.

Who is bringing this lawsuit?

The person he had the relationship with?

If not, who else and why/how would they have any grounds to do so?

EDIT: It appears the relationship ended in December (http://allthingsd.com/20130125/exclusive-interview-keith-rab...).

I guess that that opens up the options for who was possibly behind it and what the possible motivation was.
I'm not entirely sure it would be applicable to all disciplines. I wouldn't want to hire a mechanical engineer who had never done group projects, for example, or an aerospace engineer that had never spent time in a wind tunnel.
OMG, that is so fucked up. I can't imagine what Keith is feeling right now. I am sure this will get resolved as well as possible, but even if everything is dropped, it's a huge distraction for him.

Keith is an excellent human being and I am confident he acted appropriately (with the exception of being too trusting of this guy, and recommending him for Square, which was probably a mistake, but not a malicious act, rather an overly-generous act).

I am confident I would react much more poorly in this situation.
Light Table is Emacs for the 21st century. Emacs lacks reactivity and doesn't support liveness (you have to manually refresh).
FWIW, I personally don't think you need to dodge the "data entry as job training" angle.

It's easy for us on HN to feel uncomfortable about this because we see data entry as among the lowest jobs one could have in the IT ecosystem. But I'd ask the audience to consider this from the point of view of someone down-and-out in the job market (I'm sure you yourself have already entertained similar thoughts). I'll share a personal anecdote on this point: a good friend of mine once suffered from a medical condition that prevented him from pursuing a traditional career for a period of several years, and the availability of 2-3 month data entry gigs was the difference between complete professional inactivity and:

1) proving to someone that despite his condition he could show up on time to a job with bounded time commitments and execute his job

2) having an income at all, and the self respect that goes with that

3) having a professional network, unsophisticated though it might be, that can say "Yes, Person X can handle taking your paper legal documents and getting the relevant fields mapped into an Access database".

My friend found a leg up through such a job and overcame some of the unemployment adversity imposed by a personal medical problem. I imagine others could find a leg up to overcome poor family circumstances, lack of educational opportunity, or other impediments to establishing one's career.

I personally think there's nothing wrong with providing opportunities near the bottom of the ladder and calling them job training, because an important portion of job training at that level is the meta-skill of showing up, doing what you promised, and establishing credibility with people who can vouch for you down the line.
Yeah you're right. Poor choice of words on my part
In unmanaged marketplaces like Mechanical Turk, some new entrant will always try do the work no matter how low you price it, and they'll usually do it wrong.

This means you end up running it repeatedly to get the right results, engineering safeguards against malicious or underpaid workers, and more.

Because MobileWorks is managed and not a marketplace, you pay a fixed price with no engineering cost.
That seems an overly salacious interpretation. You're reading from the same text that said he had nothing to do with the hiring.

Recommending someone with technical skills work at your startup only crosses a line when you're both porking them and directly making the hiring decision, which if we're taking this at face value, didn't happen.
No RSS feed? That's a shame.
