If you owe Joe money, he might accept bitcoins because he knows he can use them (minus a fee) at sites like bitspend.
Thank you very much but I think you got the idea somehow wrong. We want to support hackers that can be helped without the aid of the doctor.You can imagine that we could never put someone's life at risk if he has a serious condition.

For those who are really on the verge of distruction, the best we can do is send them to a specialized doctor because only they can help the serious cases.

What we can do is create an environment for us that would help avoid a situation like this and also to help those that can be helped without the aid of a doctor.Even then the situation must be analyzed properly.

But the most important thing is, everyone wants to have a place where they can talk to the others, share their thoughts, everything that bothers them from any aspect of their lives, from business to life and so on.Because then, you know where to go when you have problems.

It will be like "Damn, my gf dumped me and my friend kicked me out of the startup, I definitely need to talk to someone who can understand this, how about i go on xyz website or (whatever place we can create for them) and talk about this, cause they will listen".

So not to be confused with a clinic or some medical/mental facility.We cannot do that.But we can try to create a place for us, sharing whatever we want to share.

Thank you again.

And like i said, for anyone who wants to be part of a united group and helping each other whenever you need, join us by sending a mail to

How do you know this is the case, that is people who talk about Go a lot do not use it? I often talk about Go on HN, I also use Go for my work and personal projects and write Go 10+ hours a day... Many of the people I see talk about Go on HN are active on github and golang-nuts... I know they are writing Go.
I stumbled on this page last week. Maybe it can help you.

Actually, I've found a good amount of support for gamepads in Steam already. When they rolled out the Big Picture mode beta several months ago, games already started adding in controller support. Games that hadn't updated in years (Audiosurf) updated to add controller support. It's not completely universal, but it seems pretty good so far. Additionally, if they build in something like Joy2Key into the Steam Box hardware, it may be easier than you'd think.
I've found a lot of LinkedIn's UI to be unintuitive even in areas where they have no motivation to confuse you, even when it comes to upgrading to Pro - my conclusion was incompetence rather than malice.

Side note: happy LinkedIn Pro user here, well worth the cost at least in my case :)
Bitly CEO Peter Stern Bounces for ‘Other Interests’
As someone that lives with 40 tabs open in any 1 window at a time, with at least 2 windows open....THANK YOU.

I love this. I don't get why people are being so negative on this thread. Also that discussion about the cost of RAM, is pointless. Who cares how much RAM/Diskspace costs. That doesn't mean we should be inefficient with our resources, because we can simply buy more for cheap. That's an excuse that lazy developers use.

That being said, I would love to know a few things about this extension (if the creators are here):

- Where is this list stored? On my HDD? In my Gmail Account?

- I would love to backup the list, so it doesn't get lost. I am accustomed to using Chrome's history, but that gets wonky from time to time and I have been in many situations where I expect the full history to be there, but it isn't for one reason or another.

- Will my One Tab list be there if I reset my machine? I assume so, but what if I close my `One Tab` tab?

Other than that...THANK YOU...for this WONDERFUL extension. This will easily be my most used extension - hands down.
Commenting to bookmark this... good job!

I'm not a security expert but wouldn't it mean that the files are not encrypted and thus exposed to security breaches?
I don’t consider myself an average user but I do own an Acer Aspire with a touch screen and I love it. My wife and my granddaughter are both pretty average users and they both prefer the touch screen. I will never buy a laptop without touch screen capabilities until something better comes out.
Buy Sell Circuit Packs
Hi I though you guys should hear about this. A small collective of makers and engineers are making a marketplace for circuits. Designers make Circuit Packs and put them up for sale. They have not launched yet check them out www.circuitlava.com What do you guys think about this idea?
SEO is like wanting to win in sports, everybody wants to be first. You do SEO becaus you want to become number one in google search results. Nothing wrong with that.

SEO people are like sports coaches. You have good coaches and bad coaches. Good coaches will help you with an effective training programs, and analyze the competition. Bad coaches will tell you to use drugs.

Good SEO people will help you win by improving your site and inbound links, bad SEO people will help you to win by cheating.

Nothing wrong with wanting to win, though...

> seems like a valid response to me any way you slice it.

How so? It does not tell you if it's Firefox, Chrome, IE, Opera or Safari. My mom refers to the Internet as "google".
not sure if that was tongue in cheek but only intent of post was example to show market %s are meaningless if you are going top down.

if he or she can go bottom up - show which customers he or she will win (how and why) - and then show what segment of market that represents then that is more valid.
Companies should already have in place a set of well defined, easy to follow, procedures for identifying, containing, and removing threats to the network.

If the network has been breached you may be required to notify users, depending on what kind of data is stored on the network (such as personally identifable information) and the laws your company operates under.

Most large companies keep response teams on hand for exactly this sort of issue, and medium/small companies should at least have a set of procedures and information security operatives who can figure out how the network was breached, what happened when the attackers were inside the network, and what (if anything) was removed, added or altered (i.e. exfiltration).

EDIT: I did not see the 2nd part of your question.

In the case of a reoccuring event, the attackers may have installed a backdoor somewhere on the network, stolen passwords or credentials, or may even be a disgruntled employee.

In this case it is the job of the information security department to find this breach, be it internal or external, and ensure that the breach cannot be repeated. Proof-of-concepts can help in ensuring that the backdoor or breach has been fixed.
"Because it wouldn't have mattered."

This. Kinda like marriage and relationships. No matter what your married friends/family tell you, you cannot plan it. You have to go through your own set of experiences, mistakes, ups and downs etc. etc. It is nice for someone to get advice BUT I would rather advice "You will go through your own shit. Remember there is no magic mantra and just be ready for the journey. Commitment is the key"
It may be tempting to attach a single "HN voice" to this community, but this is a place of many people with different opinions.
SimCity UI Code + DRM
I actually don't know how much of an effect cache should have on performance, but the article mentioned the "disable cache" not working as having a negative effect for him, so I assume it was because he thought it made things slower for him.

Your second point is a good one. I didn't know!

I'm not sure what you mean by your last point. Include two browsers? Do you mean that I mentioned Canary? I didn't consider that specific to my point. Yes, I know FF has dev versions as well.
> On a side note, take into account we didn't have antibiotics centuries ago, and people just lived.

Yeah, but you could die from a small wound in the leg or something.
Firing off API calls with an SDK is great when you're a one-man operation.

At a certain point you need deployment automation that respects infrastructure dependencies, change tracking with an audit trail, an at-a-glance view of environments... all things AWS is not very good at. Though they're trying with OpsWorks.

How do you work around that stuff?
Believe it or not, I blame this entire incident on Google, not LinkedIn.

Reasons?

a) you sign in using google. That is actually a REALLY GOOD PRACTICE because it gives you lots of benefits of oauth (I can de-authorize an account).

b) you only have the one password to remember, which is good for most people.

Why it's bad? Because when signing in, the other side can ask for details from your account and the best you can do is say "yes" or "no" and if you accidentally said yes, it's plowing though user preferences (something most people can't do) at google.

What should happen instead? An intentionally slow experience.

a) user clicks the sign in with google+ or whatever.

b) user is presented with option "allow/deny access for XXXX domain to log in with your credentials"

c) user is now presented with (all default off) options to allow sharing of data. There is a big message up top saying "these options are not required for you to log in with your google account. You may lose some functionality, but will not share any extra data with the 3rd party"

Vuala. Everyone is better off.
This is the average speed for the Netflix streams, not the average speed of the internet connections. So if their highest bitrate stream is 5 Mbps for example, that is the maximum you could see on those graphs.

These ratings reflect the average performance of all Netflix streams on each ISPs network. The average is well below the peak performance due to many factors including the variety of encodes we use to deliver the TV shows and movies we carry as well as home Wi-Fi and the variety of devices our members use. Those factors cancel out when comparing across ISPs, so these relative rankings are a good indicator of the consistent performance typically experienced across all users on an ISP network.
Sorry, I should have said "lack of true threading in CPython" by which I mean the GIL limitation. And lambda expressions are lame compared to what you can do in JavaScript/Perl/Scala. And the build tools suck compared to Maven which is saying a lot. Maven is cross-platform and install-free. It takes a long time to makes head and tails of pip, easy_install and virtualenv and it still does less than Maven.

I was at Costco and spotted this on all the demo machines for windows: http://distilleryimage6.s3.amazonaws.com/b97e94147e0311e29a8...

Someone had installed "classic start menu" on all the machines. These machines are offline, so I'm assuming it was an employee tired of explaining the Windows 8 Metro UI. It says something about the UI switch in Windows 8.
Here is one example: someone is listed as an incorporator (or "promoter") that can't legally be one. Or, ineligible parties are on board of directors. You name it, it's been done.

But more generally, forming a corporation means that you have ongoing legal responsibilities to fulfill. Doing that without at least an attorney on call is probably a good way to create the impression that you aren't "keeping up appearances". Minutes, board-meetings, shareholder ledger. Etc.

Anyhow, none of this matters if you use an LLC. Lots less red tape and lots less chance of accidentally tripping up some legal requirement for an arms-length transaction.
There's a lot of little details, but in general...

We send you a unique URL that takes you to the page where you sign documents (and record your IP address). From there, you create a unique electronic signature, which you apply to all the documents (much easier than it might sound). We keep track of your IP address and store a checksum of the signed PDF.

If you're looking at implementing this yourself, Docusign has a great whitepaper here:

I'm with virginmedia and apparently they have infastructure that allows me to stream from netflix at 1080p but I'm not allowed to make use of it because I'm not running Windows 8. wtf?
One theory I read (reported by Ayn Rand but accredited to an acquaintance) is that humour is when somebody's perception of reality is undercut. So for instance, someone walking down the street and slipping on a banana isn't funny, but if the person was walking with great dignity/purpose/ostentation, some sort of VIP, then it's funny. Because their perception of reality and their opinion of themselves is at odds with their swift fall from grace.

I think this might be right. When I make people laugh it's usually by giving the impression that I fundamentally misunderstand some fact of reality (or that I perceive myself differently to others).

When we physically laugh it's like a short circuit of one perception of reality breaking through from another.
I find it interesting how google fiber not only raised America's bar by ~25% but has been steadily destroying their own record month after month. http://ispspeedindex.netflix.com/results/usa/graph

I hope that chart makes some ISPs fearful enough to start innovating.
"Viral" and "virus" often have different meanings in a technological / web context.

Compare: "Cute cat video goes viral" vs. "Cute cat download contains a virus"

Then compare: "Linked grows with viral features" vs. "LinkedIn is a Virus" (with capital V).

Most of the details of the original accusation have been independently confirmed by the local media and by some analysts. It's a massive scandal here.

Disclaimer: I am a South African journo and know some of the people doing the confirming personally - one even stays on my property in the back cottage. The source may have an agenda but so does the truth.
If you read the golang-dev google groups mailing list you will see lots of micro-benchmarks posted for specific commits. The best test is to install both stable and tip on your machine and compile your application with both. In one of my application there was a 9% improvement, in another it was 53%. When Go 1.1 is released I presume the computer benchmarks game will be updated, which might make comparison, at lease with other languages, easier.
I dispute the notion that not having an attorney on retainer and maintaining board meetings and shareholder ledgers is going to result in contacts between your corporation and its vendors binding instead to company directors.

It's easy to wind up personally on the hook for corp expenses: accidentally agree to a contract that puts you on the hook personally. But again, that's not a company formation issue.

I generally agree with you that LLCs are the right first step.
I'm surprised that you powered through it.

I wouldn't trust anything from a person who expresses themselves via malformed haiku.
But what if I use the duckduckgo search in Firefox? Am I screwing google?

Oh, I have no problem with guns. I own a rifle and enjoy target shooting. I recently got my hunting license and plan to start hunting this summer.

I have also lived in very rural areas and some very shady parts of town. I'm in Canada though, so handguns just aren't as prevalent up here (although I do have friends with restricted licenses and handguns they can shoot at the range).

I had an "interesting" youth. Growing up in rural area means I'm no stranger to seeing people at parties getting beer bottles smashed over their heads during fights or hit with ash trays at bars. Looking back at that, there was not a single situation where a person having a handgun would have made things better. It almost definitely would have made things much worse. People would have died as opposed to just need stitches at the hospital. Even in this rural area, it wasn't that difficult to talk my way out of bad situations. I was blasted out of the blue once, but it was a case of mistaken identity.

I think that if home invasions were a real threat to my family then I would really start to think about moving. There are just so many nicer places to live.
The funny thing is (if by funny you mean absolutely horrific), some doctors and hospitals really dislike the idea of checklists. For a variety of reasons, but one suspects that the motivating concern is that it assumes it's possible for doctors to be utterly incompetent.
This is actually the first time I'm hearing about it. I would have thought all the non-trolls would have my same reaction: I said, "huh, that's neat," and moved on. Looking back on some of the coverage and comments, I'm stunned. Are traditional gender roles so deeply entrenched in our society that adding a female player to the game is a news-worthy "statement"?
Sometimes the virtues of consolidating purposes are outdone by the virtues of redundancy. A single program is a single point of failure.
> take into account we didn't have antibiotics centuries ago, and people just lived

For some values of "lived", including "often died of things that today are trivial".
GM thought like this, and Toyota ate their market from the bottom up.

If the old guard aren't the ones destroying their business, then they should be petrified of anyone who gains a beachhead.
Isn't that misleading information/advertising unless the boxes actually come with those modifications?
No you're not. I had the "argh stupid new interface!" assumptions based purely on hearing other opinions, and I hadn't been bothered to really keep up with the details myself. Needed a new laptop the other day and while complaining to my MD about the hassle of downgrading to Win7 he pointed out that he's on 8 and is fine with it, and I respect his tech opinions, so just jumped in.

I really don't get metro apps (is that what they're called?), maybe if I was on a tablet, but I'm not. Skype in particular was a pain in the ass, until I realised that I could just ignore the metro version and download a classic installer. Other than that, I actually prefer the start screen to the classic start menu, and... not much else has changed.
2) Real estate prices – If you are buying a home today, it is very painful. However, due to CA's limited growth property taxes, it is quite affordable for the majority of residents who have been living here for life. That results in a clever form of progressive taxation.

That's not progressive taxation. Most long-term homeowners in expensive areas of California do, in fact, own at least one extremely valuable asset, which makes them wealthy. Since these wealthy people are paying low property taxes, other people need to pick up the cost of city services: younger, poorer folks with less home equity (the form most middle-class wealth takes) or none at all. That sounds like regressive taxation to me.
Doing the tax equivalent of clerky.com is a "schlep" in PG parlance.

It is EXCEEDINGLY difficult but it can be done. The number of people who can do this well is probably very small -- take a few million words of ever-changing law, regulations, case law, etc. and convert it into code.

Yet it has been done. Just look at tax return preparation software. It's out there. And it is, for the most part, shit.

I offer that judgment as a tax lawyer whose office prepares tax returns. And who cleans up messes created by people using the software out there in the world.

Tax software alone is not the end to shoot for, however. You need to bolt together a bank plus accounting software plus the tax software. If you have a fashion-forward bank that will host a better Quickbooks (not just "oh, yeah, my bank talks to your software" -- make it F-ing work), then have that accounting data speak directly to the tax software -- this is a winner. For extra added bonus points, this system collects all of the documentation required by the IRS on audit.

For the bulk of people out there, tax and accounting is a schlep problem and not a brain damaging intellectual exercise. And if you solve 80% of the problems leaving 20% for the owner/accountant to solve, you've saved a ton of time and money.

I have been cobbling together a system for nonresident consulting types to do business in the USA: a corporation, how to sign the contracts with consulting clients, how to allocate the income to taxable in the USA vs. not taxable in the USA, how to pay the employees/consultants properly in the USA, what paperwork to file, etc. etc. But it has humans where software would be useful. That's because of one key constraint.

The biggest problem is that people don't want to do the schlep work -- not even download data from the credit card or bank sites into their software. And if they download, they don't want to look at it. They'd rather allow magic to occur.

Someone should write magic software. :-) It's either magic software or intelligent and expensive humans.
It's stored on your PC in the window.localstorage for that extension. I used the Extension Gallery and Web Store Inspector to look at the code without installing the extension:

My experience* is that Firefox has many more bugs than Chrome, Firefox bugs take much longer to be fixed, and users are more likely to be using older versions of Firefox so bugs affect us for longer.

In 3 years our webapp has been affected by very few Chrome specific bugs none of which caused us serious problems, or hard to work-around. Chrome has fixed bugs that affected us within a release or two (not years).

Currently our app has about 4 Firefox specific work-arounds. The worst was opened in 2004 and last month took me over 20 hours work to diagnose due to it only affecting us under specific circumstances: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=263945

Pretty sure that's a Netflix call; their Silverlight browser plugin doesn't have all the features of their Windows 8 app.
I think having NodeJS serve up static content is a waste of time, and that's not its intended use case. So I'm with you. I set my server up with nginx serving up static content, and when an API call is made nginx proxies to my Node app.
