True, but making a NY Times-like website for tech news wouldn't work either. HN works for techies because its clean and simple, and the karma/upvote mechanism keep the content relevant. So there is a difference from NY Times.

My question then remains, what is different?
Yes. you bastard.
This is a web attack (DDoS and *Injection) planned for tonight (local time at middle east), against Israeli Banks and governmental sites.

It is scheduled in accordance to the president Obama visit to Israel.

We are all prepared, at least our clients (Reblaze), yet, I really hope not too many people used the "report" feature of Facebook to ask to close this down, given social networks are great resource for our intelligence "department".

In any case, just wanted to bring to your attention that today's attack are no longer organized (only) in hidden forums and esoteric IRC rooms. Rather, on Facebook and twitter, under the radar.

The problem with renting is that your provider will probably shutdown you, if your scan rate is high. At least that is the problem with large dedicated server hosters.
Wise move. I did the same and ended up with the love of my life who shares the same values that I possess. Social pressures will continue to push people towards things that aren't good for them. The ability to cast these aside when they don't really mean anything will serve you well for the rest of your life.

I saw this link and I immediately thought of ShareLatex. I love that site and I use it for all my graduate work. So much easier than working with LaTeX on my own machine. You guys rock and it is by far the best LaTeX editor I've see online.
It depends where you go. Mall stores (Kay/Jareds/etc) are all owned by 1 company[0]. Which means you can "shop around" the mall and one may be a few hundred cheaper than the others. But, still all over priced. Stores outside that brand are generally near those stores and also over charge. Both, don't keep many diamonds onsite. They all ask for your budget, and ship in 2-3 stones for you to look at (in your budget). Then, you buy one. Illusion of choice.

If you goto a diamond store (that houses tons onsite) and just go for eye appeal rather than rating. You can get a '15-20k$' mall diamond for a third or less.

It seems difficult to make good money with affiliate marketing. Example Amazon books: say I earn 1$ per book sale - that is about the same as for 10 clicks on an adwords ad on my site. If 10 people have clicked on an Amazon link, I haven't earned anything yet. So how can such things make sense? I guess you have to sell more expensive stuff, but I think Amazon has also capped the max affiliate reward now?

A pity, because I'd prefer to refer handpicked things to unpredictable AdWords on my site, but can't see it working.
I suggest your girl might be happier by practicing for example stoicism rather than by wanting material possessions such as diamonds.

The problem with this is that you are essentially lying to her while you ask her to marry you. I wouldn't be able to stomach it.

In my head there are basically three options: 1. Talk rationally and convince her that no diamond or CZ engagement ring. 2. A small ring that essentially go unnoticed to a tech person's budget. 3. Do the whole 1.5 to 2.5 Carat thing.

The problem with 1. is that people will think you are an asshole and her friends may question your commitment. The problem with 2. is that you know people are going to make assumptions about how well you are doing in life ("Did you see how small that ring was, wow, I thought he was in tech!") and the problem with 3. is that you are supporting a giant scam that makes absolutely no sense. "Ohhh, look at that! That stone is huge!" for the cost of $20 to 40 grand. It isn't even about the money, it is the idea of the whole thing.
I haven't read the patent. But it seems to me that prior art would be CompuServe's CB Simulator -- from the early 1980s. That's what I thought of when I first encountered Twitter.

Good at whatever the people following them liked in them or found worth the attention. It can be anything - good voice, other skills or just the looks. Anything. It depends on the person following what good was in the guy he/she follows.
Or BBS, or IRC status bloomberg terminals etc etc etc.

Whole thing sucks. I'm not going to read the patent.

You're wrong. Jewelry is the historical way to store wealth.

Have some extra you want to keep for harder times? Convert it to gold and hang it on your wife's ears. Many other things we take for granted now are storage: cheese, wine, ham, jam are all efficient ways to store food.

So giving a diamond to your wife is just a supplemental reserve of wealth. Read only two books about people of the past, you'll see many stories of ladies selling their earrings when in trouble and getting through by this mean.
Is it really true (I'm not doubtful, just shocked) that the jeweller can tell you what country the diamond came from unless that country is in a particular continent?

I've struggled with chronic pain for almost 20 years after military and ultramarathons in my 20's. Many knee operations, 100's of doctors around the world without any success. Crawl up the wall in pain at night times.

Very recently however, I've found a doctor who prescribed extremely low doses of medicines normally related to depression; and the effect has been almost instantaneous in turning off the 24hr pain. I followed up the medical literature and this seems to be a niche but evolving area - worth checking out with your physician. I'm hoping that I'll be able to drop taking these daily in the near future and get back to what normal people feel like. My productivity has gone through the roof as well as being able to concentrate better on work and not on the constant pain.

Now to start making the journey back to fit again :)
Oh, I agree. I think I misunderstood.

One of the first rules of Adwords is to disable showing ads across the display network (this is enabled by default). You should only be showing ads on the search network (and only google.com at that, not the search partners).

Setup correctly, these types of scams aren't much of a problem with Adwords. FWIW, I've found Adwords to be very very effective, provided you know exactly what you're doing, and know how to adjust your campaign settings such that Google doesn't bleed unnecessary money from you.
At least they have... what? A shill-ish, apologetic article on Wired that doesn't offer anything except "we pinky promise not to troll"? There is still absolutely nothing stopping them from using this however they please.
Chronic pain is usually (to put things simply) when the pain matrix is sending false positives constantly. True positives will still register. The experience will be slightly different than people without chronic pain, but for the most part chronic pain patients are aware of injury.

This is not a product that is marketed as something still in testing. Rails is supposedly mature by now.

A closer analogy would be if you were an airline and a technician from Boeing made some Boeing-recommended safety changes on a plane before it took off and then the engine blew up.

Sure, you should have had proper oversight of what said technician was doing but the bigger part of the blame is on Boeing for a faulty safety change.

They published that AFTER filing said patent, so I don't expect they offered it retroactively to the people on this filing.
Part of the mis-wiring (for me anyways) is that the sympathetic system is jacked up -- I often don't have an appropriate response to impending or near-recent injury. You do still feel it, just different than I remember (although my memory of normal is pretty faded) One thing that is notable is that other (normally non-painful stimuli such as a glancing touch or intermittent contact - like a shower) are astonishingly painful.
Who's to say this isn't just for meant defense? I imagine Twitter is a huge target for trolls given their deep pockets. Calm down, everyone.

I don't know why everyone assumed "hard times" as referring to the marriage... I interpreted it as hard financial times, even in a good marriage.
It is becoming more common place in practice and I hope that more research is funnelled in that direction as we currently do not fully understand the reason that it helps.

Pain is an incredibly subjective area though. Some people gain great relief from simple measures such as heat treatment while others with similar injuries/problems will need strong opiods.

American companies had patented many famous varieties of rice[1] and other corp. Not to mention many medicinal plants that is being used in India not for centuries but millennia. USPO granted them all that. Luckily Indian Govt showed some ball at that time(which is remarkably rare), and they directly told the patent holders to stuff it up their ae.

Matter was settled.

Can't sth like that happen in computers and Internet?

(BTW, it seems either USPO is very corrupt or very negligent. Or maybe they don't give a damn!).

You need to be careful when mixing business ventures with safety net programs. Once you start making any kind of money, you need to get out of medicaid asap -- if the County figures out that you have assets, they will want to "recapture" the benefit value that was provided to you.

Just make sure you know the rules before going this route.
And people wonder why innovation is being stifled. If you create something great that works, another bigger company already has a patent on it.

Adblock Plus Releases New Android App After Getting Kicked Out Of Google Play
I like this idea but you would be up against established players like Jetbrains with the resharper add-in. Your user experience would have to be seemless and intuitive. Now, that said, this interests me. So if you start this as a project I would like to contribute.
The guy didn't sound "uncivil" to me, he just sounded frustrated. If what he reported is accurate, the frustration seems totally understandable.
(FTR: I think his reaction was deplorable) By din of its presence on the front page of HN he has to say something, but doesn't actually want to engage in what probably would become a massive ember-bashing thread by others who were frustrated with ember, so he acknowledged receipt without giving a formal response.

he's way too "can't" actually more like cba to respond.
I've een wondering about this sort of thing (overwhelming a bad actor with bogus responses) lately. I have in place PHP scripts that send Yandex and Ahrefs and Cyveillance a semi-random HTML file in respose to any request. Those semi-random HTML files just lead Yandex, Cyveillance and other bad actors down a never-ending rabbit hole of URLs that serve up more semi-random content.

What if some significant fraction of web servers did this? Wouldn't that make trolling for "IP theft" like Cyveillance does into an economically unfeasible activity?

What if nearly everyone pressed 1 when "Ann from Account Services" or "Rachel from Cardmember Services" calls, and then talked to the service rep for as long as possible?
It's quite simple and sufficient to say something along the lines of "You are right, we are working on this. In the mean time check out some example code here...".
It's definitely understandable.

I spent about two weeks forcing my way to a functional Ember application, because the framework seemed to have promise.

In the process I needed to bother the developers on IRC, read a nontrivial fraction of the Ember JS code, and implement missing Ember functionality from scratch (KVO-compliant dictionaries).

Ember doesn't work unless you get everything right, and doesn't provide much in the way of diagnostics, so it was one of the harshest learning curves I've ever run into. They really need to work on their tutorials.

It works really well now, though. :X

This is pretty much why I didn't end up using Ember in a new project. After getting the same errors and figuring out the same solutions, I figured I had better things to do with my time.

It's a real shame, but just like developing web apps, you need to make sure users have a good first experience, otherwise they'll run away.

I disagree that it is time to retire LaTeX, since it is not just about formulas.

In the humanities, linguists are very fond of it for the use of diacritics and tables etc, while the humanities overall greatly profit from bib(la)tex. Furthermore, the KOMA-Script document classes give excellent calculated full-text page layouts without having to play with geometry. Additionally, hyphenation usually just works, microtypography is an awesome add-on etc.

I have yet to see something providing results that look as professional while at the same time allowing to be used with arbitrary writing programs (text editors!), being free & free and being as well documented.

Not sure how serious you are, but I hate what you just said. It's like.. YOUR software made me frustrated, don't tell me to just wait it off. The reason I'm talking to you like this is YOUR code. And sure, when it's just raving, that may be right, but the guy genuinely TRIED and went through hoop after hoop.
(I fully agree with you and I think the guy's comment was really poor) "You are right" admits that it is not currently easy, and I don't think he wanted to say that outright.
It was transformative, it just wasn't for you. It made me enjoy building websites significantly more than doing them with PHP and HTML did, and whilst there's always been other options none of them were as simple to get running as Rails.

I'm probably not the only one who found it transformative, you're probably not the only one who didn't, and that's fine. A piece of technology doesn't have to be useful to everyone to be transformative.
You have to accommodate some disagreements in a relationship. Most men aren't going to disagree strongly enough on this one issue to use the nuclear option on the relationship.
This was my experience when I tried to use Ember as well. Very frustrating.
We do a similar thing when (annoying) sales people call. You can try to get rid of them as soon as possible. But it is more annoying to them to keep them occupied as long as possible. When I'm disturbed during dinner by ANOTHER newspaper sales call I'll first politely try to say I'm not interested. If they don't take the hit I change tactics and say 'You know, That DOES sound interesting. Let me talk to my wife for a moment' and put the phone down and go back to dinner. 10 minutes later you can just hang up the phone.
Unfortunately, only hope.
