Interesting...just yesterday, I was attempting to wireframe an idea I had and found myself hopelessly lost (I'm not a designer). While in the past I generally used quick sketches, it looks like you advocate a more detailed approach to wireframes, where they almost look like the finished product on paper. How do you trade that off with rapid iterations and the time needed for re-drawing detailed drawings?

Ask HN: most essential questions to be able to answer about your business?
Say you're sitting down for coffee with a potential investor.

What questions should you absolutely be able to answer?

What should you cover when introducing your business/idea?

I think having a more formal list of topcis to answer will better help at least me, and likely others, communicate more effectively in this area.

Cheers
That's from GTT/NLayer's perspective, which is just one of many Tier 2 network providers. Tier 1 networks are more likely to see the largest attacks.
The post above is not saying that realtors are evil or useless, just that the standard commission schema means that a realtor's payoffs/incentives are quite different than the owner who hires the realtor.
Ask HN: Help With An Experiment
I'm running an experiment to help shock my image posting website (http://www.ep1x.com) into growth. If this works, then this method can be used by others to help shock their projects into growth.

The Experiment:

If each person who reads this message goes to Ep1x and posts one good image and sends an email to two or more friends asking them to do the same, then it will start the website like someone applying force to a key to start the engine of a car.

You don't need to sign up to post an image. Just click the "Post an Image" button at the top of the screen and fill out the short form. You could also use the bookmarklet if you feel like it for fun.

The Hypothesis:

If enough people use a website as it was intended, then it can metamorphosis into something completely different than its current state. We are losing so many potentially great websites every day because the creators can't get enough initial content to make the site interesting. If creators simply ask a seed group of people to make a small contribution then we will see a surge of awesome websites come to life.

My Effort:

I will post images every day, I will spread this message to some other communities, and will post the results to this thread in one week.

* Resizing panes will now reflow the text inside them.

Finally! I did not expect this feature, I thought the author was opposed to it. It is the one thing I have missed from screen (and part of the reason why I originally started using screen, since xterm does not reflow on resize either).
You mean, NCLB revealed how most schools were failing to teach the most basic things needed for success in the real world, which they somehow were able to convey to the "carpenter-track" students just decades ago?

Seriously, I hear a lot of kvetching about schools burdened by having to "teach to the test". I never very little about which specific parts of the test are unfair or about things students shouldn't be expected to know.
So, you're argument then is that this is something a fsck would normally do?

You may have found a corner case in the fs and perhaps this sort of thing should be added to the import command, but I'm not sure simply having an "fsck" fixes this. I just think the import command appears to have a bug/needs a feature.

yep, people are already doing micropayments on reddit. See http://www.reddit.com/r/bitcointip and http://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoin.

Basically, you can do "tip $0.50" on reddit and a bot will parse your comment and process the transaction.
At this point, Ouya has a choice between shipping beta software on schedule or shipping more polished software late. From this review it sounds like the software is good enough and they're better off avoiding bad press from being late.
That might be what you think, but you are not correct.

As someone who was actually involved in ecommerce in 1995, I can tell this was one of if not the biggest concern for consumers.

In 20 years, perhaps you will tell us BitCoin was not a big leap since we were already used to electronic checks and fiat currency.

I worked on a startup for a month from the SF public library near the Civic Center. The trick is to go up to the 4th floor, where they have some really nice reading rooms with power and free wifi, and pretty nice views of the outside. Good light, too. Just make sure to empty your bladder before coming, because you sure as hell don't want to use the restrooms (I've seen homeless people bathing in the sinks).
Isn't there a way to pay a higher txn fee and get it processed faster?

Or could you run a dedicated miner to only process your own txns (or does mining not work that way?)

Seems like using Amazon's EC2 to mine Bitcoins could now be profitable, anyone know if this is actually going on? Per this couple year old article (http://glennfrancismurray.com/cost-defective-mining-with-gpu...) looks like the break even point was around ~$30/BTC.

I know other people have already talked about screen lag, but I just wanted to mention that this is well known in the Super Smash Brothers community. LCD/HD tvs are not usually used in Super Smash brothers tournaments because of the noticeable lag. http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Lag#Screen_Lag

While its possible the controller lags, it seems a little more likely that the lag is caused from the transition from the iPad screen to a lagging LCD screen.
Just a note for those who don't know, if you are poor never, ever pay your (intentionally inflated) medical bills right away. You may worry about the debt but reality is you can settle for pennies on the dollar later on when you finances are more stable and regardless of how much you owe you can never be turned away if you have an emergency.
The article didn't mention reselling seats that had already been paid for. Some venues always have unsold seats. (This may sound odd to those of us in places like Boston, where the Red Sox like to brag about selling out Fenway for NNN days straight.)
I prefer to look at it from a sociological standpoint. Sociological research shows that compensating content production is based on merit, not markets, in younger people. You're not going to convince a "20-something" to pay for something that they don't consider worth paying for, especially since they have more information than ever to help them inform their purchases.

If you want younger people to pay for content, you're going to have to convince them that their money is going to compensate the artists that are responsible for creating the works and not anybody who did not contribute. (I do mean "convince;" research showed that propaganda campaigns along this tack were successful in converting young pirates, regardless of veracity.)
Stanford University Creates A Computer Inside a Cell
That phrase isn't even logically valid.

But lets say we accept its argument anyway, is it really applicable here?
Would you really argue that the creation of a new cryptocurrency is a zero-sum event?

Couldn't it instead be the case that enormous new wealth is created due to the existence of a new payment infrastructure, and that the people who get something are capturing some of this new wealth?

I'm not saying Bitcoin is a sure thing by any means; just that its flawed to evaluate the wealth apparently coming from it as a zero-sum process.
Still unsolved, I guess they just mean it's technically ready for for wide scale deployment.
Do each Founder submit their own application?
We have 3 founders and 3 of us have created profiles. Do we submit our idea 3 times?
Or do we only submit using one profile?
These already exist.

The problem is that all the advantages of Bitcoin is now lost, and you have transferred control of Bitcoin to the Bitcoin bank.

For example: you can gather Flexcoins, which allow instantaneous transfers and so forth. But by doing so, you no longer have Bitcoins. You only have Flexcoins, and if the Flexcoin bank goes under... you lose all of your bitcoins.

IE: Using Flexcoins (or any other form of Bitcoin bank) completely defeats the purpose of Bitcoin.
You can even send transactions with no fee at all, but they tend to be prioritized rather low.

So far, every transaction get processed. Eventually.

I've seen some no-fee transactions take several hours recently.

But there's also currently some issues with the overall load of transactions, due to a gambling site spamming tiny "dust" transactions as part of its system. That's caused there to be a lot more transactions, which means sometimes you'll have to wait a number of blocks for a no-fee transaction to process.

A block is supposed to happen an average of every 10 minutes, but it's not deterministic and there's a variance. It can take an hour or more for the next block to come up, in rare cases.
Coinbase doesn't fit that bill, if that's what you are pointing to.

Edit: Anyone who wants to have a real discussion is welcome to respond instead of just downvoting because I said something you don't like. Grow up.

I don't think anything I said could be construed to mean that poor people are "lesser," "other," or anything else. It's probably a safe bet that regardless of socioeconomic status, the more money you have, the more likely you are to spend money on "dumb stuff," whether that means a pack of cigarettes, a 40 or at the casino.

Using the Florida example, is it relevant what the proportion of drug users was compared to the general public? The argument was whether or not welfare funds were being used to purchase drugs. If memory serves it wasn't even about saving money (because it cost more to administer the program than it saved), it was about making sure those who society is holding up aren't simultaneously breaking that society's laws.
Yeah. There is no way I could go back to the old compose view. I've been using the new one for a long time now and it has very helpful.
No, your outcome is not binary.

Of course dilution matters. I really don't understand how you can make an argument that entrepreneurs shouldn't focus on equity. After all, as an investor, you certainly aren't suggesting that you should do this.

In addition to exits, equity matters for employee compensation, board control and long term commitments.

Entrepreneurs should focus on both success and equity. To do anything else is short sighted.
I think it's unfortunate that Sun called it 'scrub' instead of 'fsck'. Because the two are largely equivalent in functionality (to the extents supported by the filesystem). Both fix filesystem corruption if they can. Just scrub can be run while the filesystem is mounted, whereas the traditional fsck must be run when the filesystem is offline.

However, scrub does not make ZFS perfect. There are still ways the filesystem can become corrupted without scrub noticing. Or corrupted in a way so that ZFS fails to recover from, even though recovering would be dead simple.

The attitude of the ZFS developers only works in the enterprise market: Your data is safe (checksummed, scrubbed, replicated using RAID-Z), but if a bit flips in the superblock just restore from your backup, because we won't provide tools to recover from that.
> However, the problem is that the amount of time it takes for a transaction to become "verified," i.e. be part of the official block chain, can take up to 10 minutes.

You actually can accept transactions instantly just fine; the term "confirmation" is slightly misleading here. Try actually paying for some web service or product with Bitcoin - they all confirm the payment instantly. Sure, there is now a very slight possibility of fraud instead of a negligible one, but given that nearly all businesses still do this it's clearly not a problem.
> In 2001 there were plenty of people who were critical of Microsoft and their market share abuse but this was at a time when saying "stop using Windows" was akin to saying "stop driving a car".

In 2001, that wasn't the case at all. You still needed to put in some elbow grease, and there were corner cases for sure, but I was using Linux with no problems (except a lack of Counter-Strike), had been for years and so had my parents.
The lowest brightness you can achieve by the standard Mac controls is equal to the halfway mark of this brightness app. So this app adds a huge level of control between that lowest setting and pure black.

I'm often unsatisfied with the lowest brightness setting when in a dark room, and this solves that perfectly. I just downlaoded it right now and tried it out and it works perfectly. I'd recommend you do the same as it's free before making judgment on it.

Edit: I just saw your edit, and I think you have it incorrect. Try clicking the brightness app menu bar icon, and then use your keyboard brightness keys to adjust, and you'll see at the lowest setting, it goes to the halfway mark.
I didn't know about that... that is insane. DRM has gone too far.

I had a lasik surgery about 12 years ago. First I had to undergo an eye examination, then a few weeks later I came in for the surgery, which took I guess no more than 15 minutes.

The procedure itself was quite simple: after applying anesthetic to the eyes, the doctor performs an incision in your retina, then a fancy laser machine cuts the retina based on the data collected in the examination.

The sensation during the operation was a bit surreal - as the effect of the procedure is apparent immediately once it's done: I could see everything clearly after years of having to wear eyeglasses. After the surgery they gave me a pair of translucent goggles, which I had to wear for a couple of days, and some eyedrops against infection.

I came back for an examination a few days later and it turned out I had better than 20/20 vision. I hadn't had any examination since, but I still have very sharp vision, better than most people I know. The only downside I can tell is that my eyes seem to be more sensitive to bright sunlight than most people.
"you have transferred control of Bitcoin to the Bitcoin bank."

This exists now with charge cards. You load up a card, and you bear risk that the company could go under.

"IE: Using Flexcoins (or any other form of Bitcoin bank) completely defeats the purpose of Bitcoin."

I'm not talking about an alternative coin. I'm talking about something akin to what happens now with CHIPS and FedWire, where the dollars are shuffled at a later date but the transactions are approved before it happens.
Coinbase is a bitcoin payment processor. It addresses exactly those issues.
People accepting micropayments tend not to wait for any confirmations, so the lag may or may not matter. But if the network gets to a point where zero-fee transactions never get confirmed then there may be a problem.
What are you charging for? For many stuff, it's perfectly fine to assume the payment is valid and then just lock the user out if it actually failed. If they're buying something that you can't away, there are other alternatives, like buying "credits" that one can then use to pay for stuff.
I created an entire side project (single-page web app) in SocketStream with AngularJS out front. Hooking up Angular controllers to SocketStream's RPC handlers made for some extremely easy CRUD.

Unfortunately, SocketStream isn't really as mature as older form-oriented frameworks. As an example, a patch was merged into the SocketStream master branch the other day that - I kid you not - marked session cookies as secure =/

That said, I cannot wait for SocketStream to mature, and I hope more people find out about it and dig through the codebase to patch up any other remaining holes.
You're totally right. #5 isn't a precise enough statement. Thus the natural conclusion is that corn syrup across the board is simply prone to being a little bit dirty in general. Enough that the bees notice the poison which they are acutely affected by. What I'm driving at, is that the bee keepers are motivated to buy the cheapest corn syrup they can find. Cheaper might imply lower quality, expired, or whatever. The point is, the bee keepers probably aren't performing a taste test, and wouldn't notice the difference by eating it themselves anyway.

Then it just comes down to which growers actually use these new pesticides on corn? And then which corn syrup companies source their corn from these farmers?

Anyway, here's a research paper that purports some evidence:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/chensheng-lu/files/2012/10/in-si...

Interestingly enough, it looks like I got my bee biology, and bee keeping practices completely wrong in #4. I completely misunderstood the whole honey production/cold winter/hive temperature principle, and the honey harvest/corn syrup substitution thing.

It's outlined in the paper. The hive temperature thing plays a key role, in that the bees feed on the corn syrup while it's cold, during periods when they would normally feed on honey, and stay inside to keep the hive warm. The bees that are intoxicated abandon the hive, and fail to assist in providing the elevated temperature of the hive, leading to the hive's failure.

There's probably more to it than that, but like I said, that's my amateur understanding. I am not a bee keeper.
Racism was certainly one of the things that precipitated the shift in the equilibrium. Remember, at the time when people still lived in the cities, the suburbs weren't like they are today. There were good schools and decent housing in the cities, because the middle class white people hadn't moved away yet. As someone pointed out elsewhere, the availability of cars to make the suburban exodus happened long before the suburban exodus itself happened. And let's face it, race place a huge role in living choices today. Check out: http://www.city-data.com/forum/chicago. People are perfectly happy to be egalitarian right up to the point where it involves sending their kids to schools with heavy black populations. "Gentrification" is almost synonymous with moving blacks out of neighborhoods, and cities like to tout gentrification statistics, with their underlying tone of racism, without any of the bashfulness that is usually associated with even the hint of racism. People in Chicago considered it a great thing that the South Loop had gone from 35% white to 75% white in just one decade.

Look at it from a different perspective. Why is it that in Europe more of the population of the various metro areas lives in the city than in the surrounding suburbs, as compared to the U.S.? Do Americans just inherently like big houses and large lawns more than Europeans? And if they do, why didn't they move out of the city long before 1960, when it was eminently practical to do so?

That of course doesn't mean that suburbanites are racist today. After decades of suburban exodus the core cities are shells of their former selves, urban public school districts are almost exclusively for the poor, etc. There's lots of non-racist reasons, today, to not want to live in the city besides the inherent availability of lawns, etc. But given how racist society as a whole was in 1960, I think it's ridiculous to claim that the racial tension precipitated by the civil rights movement and desegregation didn't play a large role in tipping the balance between the cities and suburbs.
I ran it too and came to the same conclusion: problem in the original comparison is that CPU usage of the node version never gets over 40% on my laptop, while the .NET version uses 100%. Using Array.sort() makes little difference. Adding threads to the node version does.
I think also adding threads to the .net version wont help it much; it already uses 100% CPU.
Ask HN: What are the major benefits of learning Node.js?
The main reason I read everywhere is scaling, performance, etc.

Do you use Node.js? If so, what for?

I guess my problem is that I am so comfortable with HTML5/CSS3/jQuery and PHP/mySQL, that I find it hard to take the leap to learn all these new libraries and technologies. I have been able to do everything I need to do so far with the languages I know, so convince me why I should learn Node.js and other libraries. I mainly build Web Applications.

Thanks!
You have ushers at certain gates with scanners, only people with tickets that are allowed in that section. You can allow multiple gates nearby, but most stadiums are setup that there's really only one/two entrances to your section. You can't really seat-pirate beyond at most a few dozen rows.

What is a non-Valley seed fund good for?
Because it's really inefficient and a horrible waste of electricity. Doing Bitcoin mining in that way basically turns it into a payment processor charging you through your electricity bill, with a 90% transaction fee.
To be fair: FUD only flourishes in the absence of evidence. People will take btrfs more seriously when distros start shipping it by default and when "serious players" start blogging about how they are using it and how great it works.

Honestly the same can be said about ZFS on Linux (and, quite frankly, even ZFS on Solaris). When it becomes "just the standard filesystem that everyone knows works", then people will stop yelling about the software (though the license mess will be with us forever, sadly).
Unfortunately, making understanding the real world is not easily reducible to propositional logic. Since you seem interested in pedantry, the technical thing to say is that you must use Bayesian inference and reasonable priors.

In this case, explanations for A and C being correlated without A causing C are strongly related to explanations for why A and B might be correlated without A causing B. (E.g., people who get married are predisposed to be successful.) Evidence, which necessarily can't be in the form of a randomized controlled experiment and yet can still be very strong, that A in fact causes B greatly reduces ones belief that A might not be causing C. My previous comment was asking whether you would defend alternatives that I find to be very unlikely, like a hypothetical predisposition for people to both get married and be happy but which is completely independent from the increase in earnings.
I DO NOT recommend that. I recommend quick sketches until an idea is clear. That's why I go pencil -> thin pen -> thick pen. I only move from pencil to thin pen when an idea is clear, and thin pen to thick pen when the actual visual is clear.
