Promo Video from Fiverr for my STARTUP. FEEDBACK?
Hey, I just got my GIG from fiverr. Ordered this promo for my Startup. Do you think it was worth the money? Do you get the main idea of this Video? Some Feedback?<p>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVmNVVy8gD4<p>Thanks
I think this is a pretty sweet idea, just would take a lot of cash to get it started and marketed
Are other readers more secure? Which would you recommend? I'm sure Adobe Reader gets more attention from the bad guys, because of market share. Is Apple's Preview any better (that's what I usually use)?
Gah, I even Googled to make sure, guess I didn't do a good job. Thanks for that.
PaaSes Loving PaaSes: CloudBees Jenkins Build + Cloud Foundry Deploy
PaaSes are opening up to work together. Now you can build with CloudBees Jenkins in the cloud and deploy straight to the Cloud Foundry PaaS. Good news for developers, who can choose the best tools without lock-in.
if not request.pipeline.command_stack you mean? Or did I mis-read something
In a way this is why I'm a bit disappointed that meteor didn't pass across US. Since it passed across another country, I don't think they now see it as much of a "threat" as they would've if it passed across US' sky.

On the other hand, I'm glad at least it passed one of the big countries like Russia, which now want to form an international anti-asteroid defense system. If this would've passed across Iceland, nobody would've cared.
Running a post office is not a Constitutional requirement. Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 states, "The Congress shall have Power To establish Post Offices and post roads."[1] This is not a requirement to do so. In fact, if you look at the case law behind this clause, in the beginning many questioned if the clause even gave Congress the authority to establish a federal post office or merely regulate the establishment of third party post offices.

Yes, it seems men are so easy nowadays, that women have totally forgotten the ancient arts of seduction.

As far as I know, women seem to simply give up at the first obstacle. However, the numbers game is on women's favor, so it still works very well for them.
Defenately something uselful I would pay for. Unfortunately I can't let you access my private repos. Any alternative ?
It's certainly "prettier" than Trello, but I'm not sure how functional it would actual be in a real world scenario. There's no functional benefit as far as I can see to putting things in fancy-looking circles, and (I'm imagining) the usability of that interface is severely diminished as you start to get a large number of items in any particular category.

A great example of how great UI doesn't necessarily equate to great UX, in my opinion.

I'm not sure I would get it out to more users, yet. If your still working out a large backlog of issues you may want to focus on the product. If you have a small but dedicated group of users, you might want to focus on making the product better until that users are refering others to the point its starting to grow on its own. Then, you know your product is ready for hockeystick growth.
Yea, all it does it apply the text-decoration:blink property to the text you enter. Chrome and Safari do not support that. Maybe I'll test out <blink>, instead.

They are amplifying a vector of choice. That vector could be change in color or change in relative pixel positions (as in physical motion).

BundleScout[1] does this for other languages, including Node.js and Python--and of course Ruby Gems. We don't have Github integration yet, but you can simply upload your requirements file (which, it seems, some people would rather do anyway).

Exactly what stopped me. I'd upload my Gemfile.locks, but I had to bail out at the github login screen.
Thanks for that - Rainforest look very interesting (what I can see of it). "QA as a service" sums it up nicely.
Almost certainly not by 2014, but there are still a lot of factors that are unknown. We certainly can't launch anything to go out there since the travel time alone forbids it. But if more accurate estimates come in a few months from now putting it very close, but missing, Mars, there might be some kind of crazy laser engineering to be done.

I realize how crazy this is, but there's always reason to dream and brainstorm.
Watch this recent episode of Colbert, and his interview with Michio Kaku, where they talk about the recent asteroids, and also about the much larger one "grazing" Earth's atmosphere in 2029, and that "may" hit Earth in 2036 (depending on how much it grazes Earth's atmosphere in 2029). It starts at 15:30 or so:

It's an API you use to send push notifications to iOS devices that have your app installed.

More specifically: it (a) makes debugging missing notifications easier, as it often feels like a notification just disappears into the ether, (b) it's priced based on actual usage, and (c) it saves you a ton of time from having to deal with Apple's APNS, which in my experience can get quite hairy.

Based on our split testing and other feedback, one of the next items on our list is to rewrite the about page. Thanks for the feedback!
Sac à main Hermes soldes
Congrats on launching guys, but I'm going to be really honest here. The requirement that I provide access to my Github repos like this is a deal breaker. For a security related product, this creates a huge attack surface and audit requirement.

From a security standpoint, what you want to do is less important than what you can do, and the access controls you use currently -- public or public + private -- just aren't fine grained enough.
in addition, he might be able to buy the things he wants in dollars but they may cost more dollars than he has. i.e. inflation is a bigger factor for $ than it is for BTC.
They tell you to turn your Kindle off because federal regulations require it. If the free market were at work and they actually had a choice, they almost certainly would not require it because an airline that didn't require it would obtain a competitive advantage over one that did. Likewise, if there were no economic benefit to asking you to enter your billing zip, a gas station that didn't require it would have a competitive advantage over one that did, and soon no one would require it. In a free market, the only way an inconvenience can survive is if it provides some economic benefit.

How to calculate your hourly rate
You don't see the state doing the basic research of mobile phones and then giving it away to Samsung or apple.

The state (mainly the military) did basic research in signal processing and electromagnetism. Apple and Samsung turned that basic research into consumer devices you can buy at the store.

They give their money away with tax money and get zero back in return?

If private entities didn't turn molecular entities into drugs, then yes, the public would get nothing for their money.

The fact is you can't buy arbitrary chemicals in the pharmacy, and very likely you believe it should be illegal to do so (do you favor abolishing the FDA and all drug regulation?). Pfizer needs to turn drug ideas (what the NIH generates) into actual drugs, just as Samsung needs to turn coding schemes and relativistic corrections into actual consumer devices.
From my personal experience, I wouldn't use a freelance tester because they won't understand the system well enough to provide value for money.

The most valuable testing is that which exposes your lack of understanding of what the system should do. These also usually require the most extensive rewrites, so you definitely want them as early as possible. Unfortunately, they also require the most extensive understanding of the system as well as an ability to detail their thinking at a level that can be understood by the development team(s).

That's why I don't see the value of freelance testers, and I'd much rather have somebody employed on a more permanent basis, either part-time or full-time.
Not to jump on the bandwagon, but I dismissed this article a few paragraphs in. Horribly written, terrible pictures and didn't really present the information I was after.

"The problem I had is none of my team would update it, because they thinks it looks crappy."

This is absolutely correct. This guy's forum is the .01% case.

The OP should simply delete these messages and move on. But I guess doing that doesn't drive traffic from HN.

What Google has said is that they just want evidence a reformed spammy site has /attempted/ to remove offending links manually.

See Slide 16: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/pubcon-2012-slides/

Note how Google wants to see evidence in the Link Disavow file that sites have TRIED to remove links manually:

Here's a sample of a valid file:

#example.com removed most links, but missed these
http://spam.example.com/stuff/comments.html
http://spam.example.com/stuff/paid-links.html
# Contacted owner of shadyseo.com on 7/1/2012 to
# ask for link removal but got no response
domain:shadyseo.com

So this whole post seems like sort of a hissy fit from the edge case of a site that a) failed to protect itself by linking out with followed links from untrusted posters and then got spammed to hell, and then b) gets offended when he reads a comment directed at sites who are trying to profit by removing links when all he really needs to do is hit delete when he gets emailed with link removal requests.

I agree with the comment that this is fair play or an "ethics tax" on people who bought links... f-em I say, since they cheated to begin with and hurt sites who played by the rules and whose content should have enjoyed better rankings and traffic than it did due to the spammers. So whatever hell they're in now is fine by me.

But I also think the OP brought his problems on himself. I ran a huge UGC site for 10 years before I sold it and sorry to say, but if you want to play forum master, you're responsible for defending your site from whatever nastiness is out there. We expect UGC sites to have porn filters, profanity filters, troll filters, and a DMCA takedown procedure, do I don't think it's too much to think that smart webmasters will nofollow links (which is why this site got on the XRumer radar in the first place).
I don't really like curved text, that is just hard to read.

While more such project management tools are undoubtedly a good thing, I'd much prefer to have one I can host myself for corporate use (for security/confidentiality/hacking on it).

I think the real problem is that they were given a lucrative monopoly (mail delivery) and in return were required to provide universal service. But the internet made mail delivery much more expensive, while the costs of universal service have remained constant.

Which all goes to show that if the legislature wants to create a public good they should have the guts to raise taxes to pay for it, rather than trying to be clever and accomplish their aims through the back door.
So, we're only interested in sending security notices. We don't care about being notified about every dependency out there.

As a result, the hard part is collecting info on vulnerable dependencies. We solved this problem for Ruby by… co-maintaining an open source database https://github.com/rubysec/ruby-advisory-db/ – which everyone is free to use.

We don't have the resources to do this for every community :).
I think that's how GitHub OAuth works though. As far as I know, you can't ask for access to a specific repository for an account, just access to private repositories in general.

You could probably hack around it by creating an integration account that only has access to the repositories that you want to integrate. If you're asking for only access to the Gemfile and not the repository, that's far outside the security model of GitHub, and even Git.

Maybe a good alternative for people security conscious would be a manual Gemfile upload?

I find that to be the most heartwarming part of his entire tale. The fact that his wife encouraged him to stick with his career aspirations even when he was ready to give up, and even when it was not in their family's short-term financial interest, shows the depth of her love for him.
Only matter is you are from the US. Moving this closer to the US only works for regulating it within US borders, as a peer-2-peer currency there is very little the US could do to affect it globally. In addition this may actually strengthen the currency, as big players get involved and tie up money in BTC then they are more likely to want (and be able) to get the US Govt on side when discussing BTC. This affects the global exchange rate and strengthens the currency outside of the US as people become less worried by ridiculous laws designed to hinder or stop bitcoin's progress.

The only time I've known that the uniqueness of ids to be in play is either as a target of an anchor or to be used in Javascript. As far as I know, in those cases only the first element with that id will be involved.

Removing the CSS from your example, and then using Javascript to change the color you see that only the first one is altered.

http://jsfiddle.net/KQkJE/1/

So, in terms of CSS, it doesn't really matter. Well, I don't know about performance issues with it though. But for Javascript it matters a great deal. As for HTML, it only really matters in that it's supposed to be unique for anchor targets, which would be one reason it doesn't validate.

Browsers give a great deal of leeway when it comes to HTML and CSS, because so many people and editors do not follow the spec. Of course, you could argue that no one follows the spec because the browsers don't really enforce it. I've been constantly amazed over the years seeing various examples of HTML soup that should not render in any recognizable form that somehow renders in the browser.
You're assuming non-technical users are aware of this or care.

I have seen non-technical users, who for one reason or other do not have access to Bittorrent, install streaming software or pass between them TV streaming sites for the latest episodes so stuffed full of heavy scripting, including XSS, that any hacker would be petrified of touching them even with a condom-clad bargepole!

When informed of their vulnerability, they often find reasons to dismiss the risk such as stating they have never had any problems or it is not their PC (family or school computer)...
>For a security related product, this creates a huge attack surface and audit requirement.

We agree. We spent a lot of time debating this.

We originally set out to build a gem, but realized it was so much easier to use through GitHub. Unfortunately, we can't provide more granular access due to what the API gives us.

We plan on eventually releasing said gem, as noted in the "I don't use github" link on the front page :).

Its a high court order for a bunch of specific very popular ISPs. By nature, a court order can only be applied to corporate entities (people, companies). They would have to enumerate every possible computer connectivity provider to be effective or introduce a law to stop it. Andrews and Arnold are very small and of no interest (for now).

This is basically the legal system sucking off a corporation and shutting down a common body of offenders.
Fortunately, it won't hit us in 2036 either.

The default tires and default sound system have residual value when ripped out. I am sure that the dealer would be happy to give you some fraction of their worth and then provide you the car without them. Or you could sell them yourself.
