Been using it since day 1 after seeing your post on /r/Android. Really fantastic app that just works perfectly. The fact you got a Chrome extension out so quickly made me love you.
Pure gold. I knew my Byron comment had potential to start a great thread.

Wait, you can do that?

Yes the packaging system has signatures but unfortunately Python's SSL implementation doesn't verify certificates, nor do its packaging tools. The signatures come from the same server as the packages, so if someone MITMs the server you can still get hosed. There was a talk at last year's PyCon demonstrating this and these kinds of problems still have not been fixed.
Probably they are very specialized to live in those conditions (I guess: low salinity, very low temperature, low light, high pressure, low nutrients). So the usual bacteria won't survive too long there.

I think that the biggest problem of the scientific is to ensure that the bacteria they got come from the lake and are not dew to contamination.
Yes, I also copy and paste words or phrases from articles into google if I want to know more about something.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but a valid STEP string can already encode any arbitrary Unicode code point. It just does it using 7-bit ASCII. If your code is somehow executing these strings without examining their content, then you are already in big, big trouble.

Trying to do something with 8-bit characters -- whether skipping them, indicating an illegal character in the string, or trying to guess what was really meant -- cannot make that situation any worse.
Well, yes...

For example here to import a car you must be a company with special permit.

You cannot drive a car across the border and keep it.

The result is that the Brazillian astra in Brazil costs 25k USD. That same car, from the same factory in Argentina is 15K and has better engine and airbags (the Brazillian version you need to pay separately to have airbags)
You're right, I actually agree with #4 more than my previous post will admit. But I believe the unrestricted level of piracy the OP suggests should be allowed swings the pendulum too far in the opposite direction.
I really liked this post so I'll share a funny story about the Chrome extension.

I spent a couple evenings getting pseudo-authentication working with OAuth to log people into the extension, it was annoying and a real pain.

Then, the third evening, I realized that as an extension, any ajax request I make will have access to the same pool of cookies as normal browser requests, so it turned out that if a user is logged in on the site, they're automatically logged in on the extension, too.

This made everything SO much easier, but I had wasted like 8 hours of work to get there :)
Whose second guessing a god. I'm second guessing your absurd claims that there is a god. When said god shows up at my door, then I can second guess his inane actions, but until then, I'm simply second guessing the claim that any god exists at all.
As I just posted in the comments on your blog, Google Wallet is a serious consideration if your app is available in the Chrome Web Store (or on the Play Store). They charge relatively little and support European accounts and subscriptions.

There's also the Google Apps Marketplace to consider if your app targets the enterprise, which also hooks into the same payments APIs.
I think the copyright shit is hitting the ceiling now.
Fair point, but still, that's only Yahoo websites, and (to nit-pick) I, for one, don't Yahoo!

Another thing to take into consideration regarding this sort of stats is the user base. I _think_ a lot of the NoJS (or the likes) users are of the tech-savvy bunch and more likely to use sites like this one. So, I _think_ a more relevant percentage of people that have JS disabled is higher in this case.
Why You Should Disassemble Your Cheap Charger Before Use
My intention was to inform the original poster that probably he could upgrade his device using CM10.

Coincidentally he happens to have the same phone as mine, wich i upgraded with CM10 and a custom kernel and it works (way) faster that the original 2.3.x with motoblur.

Thalidomide was extremely effective in treating morning sickness, it was just dangerous to fetuses.

Why does the Thalidomide tragedy justify the FDA testing for _effectiveness_?
Why don't we let individuals choose how they allocate their own production? That way, you're only your own "profitable servant".
What about this:

Prior to creating the work, the author solicits "sponsors" (or backers, in the kickstarter terminology). Each sponsor would recieve equal rights as the author. How much each sponsor pays is up to the negotiations between the author and the sponsors.

When the negotiation/solicitation finishes, the author will be paid the agreed amount by the sponsors. This is the entirety of the money the author will recieve for the works, there is no royalties received from the sponsors.

The sponsors recieve the work when it is complete, or if the author doesn't finish, then the author will be sued for contractual obligations, just like how you today if you hadn't fulfilled your contract.

The sponors have full, but non-exclusive rights to the work. How they use those rights is up to them.
Ah, thanks for pointing this out. I'll push the fix as soon as all of this dies down. No need to rock the boat while there's a party :)
Today I learn that I am not the worst karma gaining person from my registration month.
Well, for one, you can get forensics from the packages. They may be good, but I wonder if they're perfect. It's likely that they use similar methods most of the time.

If you're flooding them with fake sellers, it's going to be hard for new sellers to gain rep. Especially if you're leaving fake feedback, too.

By 'informants' I mean that you take over their Silk Road account and sell with their reputation. Turning people one at a time isn't useless if you make people afraid to use the site or to trust new sellers, then each seller you bust leaves them one less trusted place to turn to.

Reputation systems only work if there's a trusted authority to decide them or if there's more legit feedback than fake. It's not as though there are no ways to create fake accounts en masse. And it's not like a TOR hidden service can tell where the accounts are being spam registered from.

Overall, it's a cat-and-mouse game, but I don't see why it's fundamentally intractable.
A very powerful being could change gravity, but I agree with you on the rest.

He might have other traits like e.g. free will, but that does not mean he can make rules on how the creator will welcome him.

How else should we interpret the lack of unambiguous instructions from our supposed Creator, if not as permission to speculate on said Creator's intentions and desires for us?

A God who communicates only with insane people is indistinguishable from no God at all.
Awesome. I'm integrating GCM for many apps where I work & I'm looking for more use cases.. One which works well is a live wallpaper which accepts an image as a push & displays it as part of a slideshow.. Just for kicks for myself but might get around to packaging it & making a simple web app to run it.
When last I checked, we were not supposed to have patents on math. Now, we can argue endlessly about whether or not that covers all software, but if public key crypto is not math then I am not really sure what is...
New $1.6B supercomputer project will attempt to simulate the human brain
the political debate, even on the most nutty right-wing fringe, is limited to discussing limiting the rate of growth. The previous liberal prime minister actively boasted the high rate of growth in the public sector. This is a reflection on the voting population: A large majority of voters have a direct financial dependency on the state through employment or by being a benefits recipient.

I had to check twice that you are referring to Denmark and not Greece. I guess the crucial difference is the amount of corruption and tax evasion.
Is this the one that was on Shark Tank a year ago? I think Robert offered a million $ for it.
A nontechnical user, given a choice between two environments, one of which nags them pedantically over technical details, and another which displays the gist of entered content but perhaps with sometimes screwy formatting which one would win?

Word processors won out over text processors for the nontechnical user partially for this reason.

Postel's law applied to HTML let nontechnical users get things done with less impedance. It's less important now not because it was the wrong choice, but because users have moved higher up the stack to CMSes that handle formatting etc.

Consistency across browsers back then was only ever of serious concern to professionals in design or browser programming.
So, another The World Ends With You?
In Medieval times there were more local conflicts than large scale invasions - it was a time of fragmented states (that's what the feudal system is about).

Plus, in Medieval times, people were paid to wage war, therefore keeping a large army was extremely expensive, and often you did not keep an army on your own but hired mercenaries to wage war with/for you. In Antiquity, I believe the reward system was different.
Looking at the source it looks like it's all PNG files. So shouldn't be horrendous. JPEG would be smaller but I wouldn't want to go that far since they're good for history and making other things out of.
Basically, its a superset of Chrome-to-Phone functionality that supports newer devices and takes advantage of the new notification features in Jelly Bean. Hope that helps :)
Why exactly would you not want to condemn them or call them evil if they are doing things which we believe are bad for society?

I like this idea. Makes sense for something like airbnb.
Wouldn't surprise me to see a kickstarter like this.
Sure, the first verse of my translated study Torah is 'When God was about to create heaven and earth...' This corrected interpretation's not particularly new, either - it's based on a commentary from an 11th century rabbi.

However, like it or not, all of the KJV's mistranslations are much more influential than the original - and most influential of all is its phrasing and choice of vocabulary.

I suppose what you focus on depends on what you want to get from it. If you're interested in understanding how the Bible's influenced our language and literature, I'd go KJV all the way. If you want to grapple with spiritual and theological issues, that's a different story.

He was speaking in clear absolutes, so I think an extreme example is a perfectly valid way to open.
If they never feel the need to incorporate, then this framework doesn't stop them from getting as big as they can. But if the money they're making is enough to live on well, they're going to find themselves under more and more pressure to incorporate. The (obviously untested) assumption is that fear of operating a real business with unlimited liability will keep most people away from it, while many of the fools who do rush in will end up getting culled by their own recklessness.

The only way to consider the rest of the world, with its 8.7 million species, to be the organism that was cut off from a few types of bacteria in a remote lake is to quibble over pointless semantics.
I am pretty sure it is meant to encourage the progress of science and art, regardless of whether or not authors and inventors turn a profit. Scientists, for example, rarely see a profit from their research papers, which are nevertheless subject to copyrights.
Ask HN: Looking for a startup stories on selling too soon
Hi,

I'm looking for a startup stories on people who sold their too soon and regretted it later.

I want to know the emotions that you felt when someone offered you a very big check and what caused you to take it vs to keep on going on? What emotions goes through you head during that time? What feelings do you feel? What traps did you trip? What made you realize it was a mistake? Was there anything you learned now that you could have told you past self to stop it?

The comment above spoke about "this fundamental valuation number" regarding FORWARD P/E. Forward P/E is a guess (== varius analysts use various numbes == Almost always wrong sometimes in a major way). That's why I made the comment. I understand perfectly well what P/E is.

EDIT: Companies also manipulate E in various ways so even though P/E is supposedly not as fictitious as forward P/E you also have to be careful with that number.
Not sure the there is a parallel in more than coincidence, but when Ed I Koch took over mayorship of New York City in the late 70s, the city was in financial ruin, on the verge of bankruptcy and the (north american) liberal (progressive) Koch also took deep cuts to quite a few sacred cows.

These kinds of actions were one of the alternatives given the macroeconomic conditions --The UK had the whole post-Empire implosion psyche to deal with as well.

author here, just started this because i was surprised there wasn't something like it out there already. i wanted something more automatic and specific to my projects than timelapse.

love any help/feedback!

I certainly believe your professor. It's not really the lifespan but more about the degradation of your body and mind as some of these solvents are quite neurotoxic. I'm not worried much about acetone, but toluene, benzene, hexavalent chromium, polyacrylamide, etc.

The argument from chemists have always been, I know X who works at Y job for 3 decades and is still fine.

The whole point is these effects take place so slowly that most people won't notice or attribute it to their job.

Occupational hazards aren't exclusive to chemistry to be sure, but our salary doesn't nearly justify it.

In fact from the amount of education we must go through, our typical work is almost semi-blue collar (not dissing on blue collar work).

Fumehoods are practically worthless when people routinely carry things back to their lab bench, leaving a trail of fume behind them.

The analytical labs are not as bad as the organic labs. I feel the most sorry for the ta especially.

This is much better than a few decades ago when mercury residues were not even a big deal. The graduate environment at our uni is not much better, but it might be at better funded lab. Most of our money goes to the engineering facilities and football stadium.

Chemistry has really gone downhill. Organic jobs are getting outsourced. Most of the jobs left are repetitive qc analytical work and very specialized roles with extremely specific requirements.

Hey that was quick! Good job.

It seems like there is at least some sort of interest so keep hacking away.

Couple of suggestions for future improvements:

- Put the recently listed domains right on the main page (maybe below the blue instruction box)

- Instead of allowing users to contact the domain name owners via e-mail, make them flag the domains they are interested in and expressing that interest to the domain owner through the site itself. The owner then gets a notice about a user who wants to trade, and is given the ability to see which domains the other party has for trade. Then they can go through the same process of flagging a domain they might be interested in trading, or cancelling the trade if they don't see anything of interest to them. That could be the start of a basic bartering engine.

Great start though!
"What would the ideal policy be?"

Not applying copyrights to education and knowledge, because copyrights make no sense in an age of widespread fast Internet access. Further, as public schools are government entities, they should not have copyrights at all; all unclassified government work should be in the public domain, and schools should not even think about classifying their teachers' or students' work.

You're right that we could all buy everything online in theory, but this seems implausible and inefficient. Amazon is alreaspdy selling stuff online (e.g. Cat litter and toilet paper) that do not make economic sense. In any event, Amazon's share price has priced in something like a one hundred fold growth in profit (for those odd quarters where it actually makes a profit).
Indeed, IP in general is something I personally disagree with whole heartedly and completely; however, sadly, I do understand the implications and realities we face which make such a stance unworkable.

It should be noted, the only reason people are suggesting such extremes is due to the other end pushing first and foremost. Life + 50 is an absurd amount of time to keep something locked up under copyright/patent and lengthening or strengthening such laws is going counter to everything else in an age where information [in general, media included] is being made increasingly available and accessible in much larger quantities year on year.

One would assume, with all other things considered, that lengthy IP laws would be undergoing contraction opposed to expansion. They only need to be long enough to foster innovation and creation, anything more and they become counter productive and detrimental to society at large.

Is Braintree really holding the first $3000 in reserve until you stop using them? That sounds rather weird and unexpected.
Karma is probably more closely related to how popular your opinion is on a given subject in the hacker news community. As you said it does not really encourage better writing, while there is sometimes a correlation between a good post and many upvotes, especially on very technical subjects.

Also, Karma on news submissions has become a race to be the first to publish the latest techcrunch news or related sites, so it's not all about comments or contents.
Curious, what are some use cases for this?
I missed the initial launch. But I just tried out the app! It is very easy to use! Congratulations!

This old argument? The difference is that with safes/locks, every thief needs to overcome the lock, and there is usually other safeguards. With digital goods, one master cracker does the work once, and everyone else can just download that directly.

Also, with cash, you don't hand over the entire box to someone and say "you can only take a few dollars out and then must give us the rest back", but that's what DRM does, to keep with pointless analogies.
It's been said every time this argument is brought up: StackOverflow is a Q&A website. It's not meant for discussions, and while some interesting questions get closed, it's not arbitrary at all.
I don't regret my degree either. It was paid by financial aid, chemistry knowledge comes in handy on a daily basis. Being able to read to research papers and actually understand some of it opens the door to limitless knowledge.

I just wish that access to scientific journals weren't so expensive.
Find a local inventors' club. For me, this has been an invaluable resource for gathering information related to starting/maintaining a business and filing for patents and the like.

Kent Beck on Unit Testing
The problem is if you decode a particular byte sequence that causes a bad action (if that's possible with step files) in a different way than some other program that is supposed to keep you safe.

In the case of ie, ie decoded one way and forum software might decode a different way. So the forum software says the string is safe for the browser (according to its decoding rules) but then the browser applies different rules and gets a bad string.

You may not be seeing the danger because you implicitly think a step file from unsafe sources is always unsafe. But imagine if you had a safe file detector program, except it applied different rules than the program you're actually going to open the file with.
A company's performance is not strongly correlated to its share price. By conventional measures, Apple has been outperforming its "competitors" for a long time now, it's just that the market does not seem to reflect this in the share price. As to the "why", no one knows. Or maybe everyone knows, and they're all correct.

What I would like to see is for Apple to split the stock. My totally unsubstantiated theory is that this should allow more people to get into the stock and better reflect the real market. A lot of people get into options due to the high price of the underlying, which is a rigged game since large hedge funds and big money can squish all the retail investors (you and me) into maximum option pain right at expiry. e.g. Jan 18 when AAPL was trading exactly at $500.
