Furthermore, I have seen drivers refuse to go through a red light to clear a path for an ambulance because of a red light camera.

The law must always be enforced with an element of common sense. Red light cameras lack all common sense.

Yes, but FirePHP was definitively not available for Chrome when ChromePHP (now Chrome Logger) first came out, and as far as I can see (http://www.firephp.org/) it doesn't officially support it yet.

I tried to like Sublime, I really did. Bought a license and used it for four months, before going back to Emacs.

Sublime is nice, and easy to extend, but it only extends so far, while Emacs is infinitely extensible.

You can practically live in Emacs[1]; some things I wanted to do in Emacs were hard to pull off, but I'm yet to find something it can't do. And it does so for years.

Fashionable editors come and go, but Emacs forever stands; and if there is one thing I don't think I'll be able to ever do again, is learn another set of editor shortcuts. Those I used were drilled there ~10 years ago, and I don't think they'll ever come out.

Also, author seems to take great deal about changing the editor theme and icon. Why should you ever care about that, outside a screenshot contest?

Editor should look good by rendering a nice font at a size you find comfortable, highlighted in colors you find easy on the eyes. If you look at the chrome, well, you're not spending enough effort editing.

[1] I'm not the one to start wars. vi might be just as good, but I'm not going to learn it this side of the river Styx.
Texas wants its gold stored in the state, not at Federal Reserve in New York
I currently develop a powerful JavaScript diagramming library (very different capabilities than charting), and charge more than this, though its done per domain and not per developer, with exceptions for OEM customers who need to deploy it everywhere. I'd recommend you go that route instead, most of our customers seem very happy with the model.

The charting space by contrast seems significantly bloated to me. This library may well be awesome, but I'd recommend you explain within my first minute or two on the page why this is better than the host of free options out there.
Can you provide more detail? Here or firepad@firebase.com or as a github issue? From the screenshot it's not immediately obvious to me what went wrong.

People are certainly allowed to write over each other (e.g click in the middle of your sentence and write something). If that's not what happened, let me know!
1. I'll agree with you on this. It would make sense for the software to be open source.

2. This is something I hadn't thought of and curiously nobody had said anything to me prior. To me, this is a big negative (not necessarily a show stopper).

3. In my jurisdiction any citations like this need to be reviewed by a police officer. Obviously you're not going to be issuing citations when a light is out and it would be trivial to fight. This is an implementation issue but not one with the technology.

4. Source? Regardless this seems more like an issue with a specific brand and not the technology.

5. One of the sibling posts here mentioned a study to this effect that I haven't gotten a chance to take a look at yet.
"Hoarding" and "Investing" are usefully different (if informal) terms, because they distinguish between very different uses of capital.

"Hoarding" consists of putting all one's assets into extremely conservative classes (gold, cash, vast parcels of real estate in the middle of nowhere) or otherwise removing it from the economy (a yacht that's never rented out and rarely used), thereby depriving useful capital from the economy (e.g., perhaps the "saver" is too lazy or stupid to do anything profitable with the land they own, and they are just holding it as an inflation hedge; or perhaps the yacht is only important as a symbol of status).

"Investing" means making one's capital available to others in exchange for a return and thereby supporting economic exchange and development.

In a finite world, "hoarding" increases one's relative wealth (the multiple by which one is wealthier than, say, the median person) at the expense of most everyone else. "Investing" increases wealth overall, but in doing so decreases one's relative wealth.

Any idiot can hoard; and if an individual cannot invest in order to reliably earn a return that beats 1-5% inflation, it's a wonder they have the money at all in the first place.
I didn't mean to imply that age had anything to do with it. I can't think of another phrase with a similar meaning. I am open to suggestions. I only meant that there is a certain social thing going on which welcomes men and excludes women in some manner. It seems to be getting better on hn, though I don't think I can objectively "prove" that.
for me (introvert):
silence. minimal distractions. low light.
There is a contract, the developer agreement. If you read it, it says that Apple can reject your app for violating it's rules. It also says that Apple has full latitude to reject your app even if it doesn't violate any of the rules because Apple decides it's in their best interest.

Apple can basically pull any app at any time. You can choose not to develop for them, or you could try to sue them (you'd probably have to prove that they did something anti-competitive to get past the contract).
This pattern seems to follow red-light cameras everywhere they go.
I find it odd that Sublime is so widely loved. It seems like a way-station between Notepad and Vim/Emacs. The extensions are nice, and the GUI is easy on the eyes, but it seems that most of my peers outgrew their Sublime Text/Notepad++/Textmate stage by the time they completed their first year of undergrad. I would hate to be stuck in the slow world of Sublime Text limbo as a result of being too lazy to learn and customize Vim/Emacs.
> Laws are made to control and/or punish behaviors that prove detrimental to their societies.

I should sign a petition written by someone who thinks the above is true? Apart from the fact that a "wealth cap" is a legally absurd concept. And a "global wealth cap" on U.S. citizens is a legal impossibility.

> wealth-building has been a sacred cow that has gotten a pass on legislation controlling it, despite the obvious harm it does to societies and the planet.

You need to learn the topic you're addressing, and learn why the above is absolutely false -- proven false by the various 20th century experiments with those forms of government that tried to prevent wealth building.

History shows there are two things certain to destroy a society:

* A system that prevents wealth building, that "caps" wealth at a fixed level and thereby removes any incentive to work.

* A system that allows unfettered wealth building to undermine basic human rights, by for example eradicating the middle class and depriving the poor of any hope of ascending above their present state.

To put this succinctly, it's easy to complain about wealth building, but it's much harder to think of a meaningful remedy. And a wealth cap is a non-starter.
OVH has their offering in North America as well (located in Canada). $40 a month for a Core i3 3.4 Ghz, 8 GB of RAM, 2 x 1 TB drives.

And it has been fantastic when it comes to speed and whatnot.
Thanks man!

Send me a email. Thanks.
Hahaha, too true
Actually, the the verifier (verifier.login.persona.org) runs code that could be run on any server. It _does_ check Gmail for the well-known file first, and then, since not found, uses the fallback of login.persona.org.

As soon as Gmail (or any id provider) implements a well-known file, the verifier will immediately use that instead.

And the script that does all this _could_ be run on your own server. The only reason we don't quite yet tell people to do that is to be absolutely sure the verifier is correct in every step. It's harder to get everyone to upgrade their own server, so while in beta, we offer the verifier.

These are not vulnerabilities in Rack (necessarily), but in the way the cookie spec has been drafted and the way Chrome decides to implement it. There's nothing that can be "fixed" in Rack: the only definitive fix is a domain migration.
In every other Unix command ever, -h is the same as --help. Having used -h, I would never try --help if I was looking for something different.
Isn't it odd and curious and such like that the chunks of time bandied about are units of ten? Coincidentally equal to the number of fingers on our hands. 10 years. 10,000 hours. I'd be willing to bet my granny's dentures that if we had eight fingers on each hand those numbers would be 16 years and 65536 hours (well, I mean it would still be 10 and 10,000 but you know what I mean).

Also, did you know that in many cultures (ancient Greece, Aramaic, Hebrew, Chinese, to name but some) 10,000† just means "a heck of a lot", "more than you can count". So you see, 10,000 is a bit too magical for me to take seriously.

† Here's a wikipedia entry but I think I read about this in a history of mathematics book, cannot remember which one, sorry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10000_(number)
>4: Some red light cameras will detect oncoming traffic at night and turn red to entice person to run light (at completely empty intersection).

Do you have a source for that? I'm as cynical as the next guy about the motivations for red light cameras but that just sounds like paranoia.
Second this, I actually pay for the yearly license and it's saved me far, far more than it's cost in the first full site crawl I ever did with it :)
Slightly different - why do they think that there money is better distributed by faceless bureaucrats where they could themselves direct it to the causes they think need it the most.
I'd say the biggest issue is that they provide a perverse incentive to the local government -- reduce the duration of the yellow light to generate more red-light revenue. I couldn't easily find a link but I believe this happened in Denver (and that they later re-instated longer yellows after public outcry). My understanding is that lengthening yellow-light times and adding a delay between red & green are the proven ways to prevent accidents.

I've seen the camera supporters argue that even if cameras cause more rear-end accidents those are preferable to t-bone crashes from red light runners, but that's a false choice. Longer yellows and red-green delays prevent both types of crashes.

Beyond this, I think there is legitimate opposition to the lack of discretion by the cameras. In places with snow & ice, there are plenty of times when it is impossible to stop at a red light even when travelling well below posted limits.
"This expanded investment is not expected to materially alter AT&T’s anticipated 2013 capital expenditures."

This is what pisses me off. Telcos have the capability and it won't even hit them that hard, financially. They just want to drag their feet to eek out whatever extra sliver of profit they can out of the current status quo.
In my state (PA) there are laws on the books that say a citation has to be reviewed by a police officer in the jurisdiction the citation is issued in.

I do the same when around overly aggressive drivers myself (although admittedly I can be aggressive and am trying to work on it!), but I don't think either one of us can say what a police officer would or would not do. Some are extremely by-the-book and will write you the citation regardless.

If there's no way to prove camera calibration I would hope judges would throw all the tickets out. I've fought a handful of speeding tickets since I've been driving and more often than not the officers can prove when and to what specification their radar guns were calibrated (usually at the beginning of that shift so within 8-10 hours, and to give the driver a 2-3 mph "benefit of the doubt" so to speak).

And no appeals are just ridiculous.

Thanks for the input!
It actually is a real issue. Google says it themselves - they give priority to gTLDs.
Yeah hence the ? to get around URL dupe detection :p
We had to start somewhere, and Yahoo's OpenID endpoint seemed pretty sane. Gmail and Hotmail are coming soon to round it out.
I'm on Rackspace and I might switch now.
Red light cameras are too rigid. It makes no distinction whether you went into red after it was shown for 1ms or 2 seconds. Consider hitting the first 1ms of red light at 4 am on cross-road with perfect visibility and no traffic whatsoever... and your license lost. It all depends what's the penalty, of course.
There are a plethora of links elsewhere in this thread answering that exact question, but in brief, the developer experience, user experience, and privacy model are all dramatically better.
The fact that you can pay for it is a competitive advantage for megacorps.
This is awesome, kids need an easy way to get their feet wet in programming.
Close to downtown is expensive because all the shit people are willing to pay a premium for. Distance to work, nightlife, parks, scarcity of family oriented suburbanites, and being where things like Google Fiber are first to roll out.

Isn't this an issue with proper standards on yellow light timing, rather than red light cameras?

I know in NSW, Australia, light timings are standardized based on speed limits. That prevents stupid revenue tricks like that, as well as making all lights predictable.
Did you want to maybe let women express what isolates us instead of declaring what will and won't lead to our isolation?
Are you sure you wouldn't say the same thing if it was 1975 and they'd made a Basic interpreter for a toy computer used by a few hobbyists?

Big things often start small. In fact, usually start small.

And in any case it's just mean of you to piss all over these guys' efforts. It makes me embarrassed for HN when people launch something new, and this is the sort of response they get.
Generally the hiring pipeline at Google does not involve a hiring manager until after the individual has been accepted. There are exceptions for special roles and people, but for the software engineer case, we require that someone be generally competent across the board. Once they're in, then their specialties and interests factor into what team/project they start on.
Good point, although I assume this will be fixed by Google pretty soon. I visit lots of .io sites every day and I don't think I've ever hit one that was indian ocean territory specific. Seeing as it's all the rage with developer-focused projects, it makes sense that it will join the ranks of .me and .co
So the GNU command line utilities do much more than their minimal counterparts on other Unix platforms and this was a reason for why they became so popular. Then this would be an argument against "Do one thing and do it well." This needs to be brought up whenever anyone extolls the Unix philosophy.
The analogy sucks for sure, but no one noticed for 15 years. Kudos to that kid.
VUDU office break in
Serving multiple HTTPS sites is a piece of cake with nginx. What does your stack consist of?
I've seen others mention the yellow-light timing issue and I hadn't heard this counterpoint before.

As for the discretion, at least in my jurisdiction all automated violations (currently only red light cameras in certain parts of the state I believe, nothing in my immediate area) are reviewed by a police officer who has final say. Presumably they'd be able to tell if a vehicle just slid a few inches into the intersection v. ran the light 2 seconds after it turned red.
SEEKING FREELANCER - Austin, remote
Seeking experienced PHP developer that has familiarity with Postgres databases. Geo-spatial experience preferred.

The project is development of PHP-based website to search and display data from a remote postgres db. Prototype website has been built, now need to implement change list and prepare a client-ready product for beta testing. We have a vision (and carefully prepared descriptions) of what we want, but the developer will need to be an active participant in the debate of the best way to achieve it.

We prefer someone in the Austin, TX area for meeting 1-3 times per week, but are open to telecommute arrangements provided you are in a similar (+ or - 2hr) time zone. We will require regular telephone meetings for telecommute arrangements. The developer will need to sign a work-for-hire agreement.

Project length is 6 months at ~30 hr/weeks
These time estimates are only approximations. The project is an AGILE development, so we will be redefining new goals every 10 days as clients give us feedback.

We are a small startup backed by an established company. You'll be working in a 3-4 man team in a professional, result-driven environment. This project serves the oil and gas sector in a proven market with a desired product.

Starting rate is $15/hr commensurate with experience, plus bonuses.

Disclosure: I created Just Landed. Thanks for posting the app on HN!

@frisco: I can understand how you lumped Just Landed in with other Silicon Valley startups some of whom are creating frivolous apps and raising vast sums of money against small ideas. I suppose those irritate me too for the same reasons you mentioned.

However, in this case, you would be wrong to assume that Just Landed is just another overfunded startup trying to conquer the world with an airport pickup app. First off, Just Landed is not a startup. Just Landed is an app, built by myself and two of my buddies, because I kept making the mistake of forgetting to leave for the airport on time to pickup my girlfriend. After finding that no other apps were solving this problem (and that flight apps generally sucked), I decided to take a crack at it.

I don't make any claim that this is an important problem in our society (I built this app for myself), that this would be a good idea for a startup (it probably isn't), or that it's worthy of venture funding (so far it's not a great business). Just Landed was built with $15k of my own money as a fun side project while I figured out what I wanted to do next with my career. Frankly, I'm amazed how successful it has been - it was totally unexpected. Also, it's not even really a company - it was released under Little Details LLC because I needed to protect myself with limited liability (I also plan to make other commercial apps).

Finally, while we have certainly had offers, it is also not my goal to be "acquihired". I'm actually working on a mobile game right now, and am thoroughly enjoying myself. My goal is to be free to work on my own fun projects for as long as I'm able. If I come upon an idea worthy of a startup, something that can really change the world, that's a different story. FWIW I've already failed twice at a startup (went through YC once), so for now I'm taking a break and building apps.

Just Landed is not going to change the world, but it sure saves my ass (and helps hundreds of thousands of other people) when it comes to going to the airport to pick someone up.
I don't disagree that OAuth is very useful when an application needs access to resources on another site.

That said, many of the applications that feature "sign in with Facebook", don't actually need access to my Facebook account. They may just be trying to make it easier for the user to sign in, but they also sometimes abuse that trust, and start posting things on your behalf.

Frankly, I'd much rather generate a random password for randomsiteijustfound.com and not worry too much about their password-hashing policy than trust them to do the right thing with access to my Facebook account.

This is why I like Persona -- if a site really just wants to make it easy for me to sign in, they'll use Persona, and I won't have to worry about them abusing my trust, because I'm not granting them access to anything else. Once I feel like they're trustworthy or useful enough, I can consider granting them OAuth authorizations to my Facebook account.
Is it this story?

"Denver, Colorado was caught this week attempting to add red light cameras at intersections with short yellow times. Rocky Mountain News reporters videotaped the city's four proposed ticketing locations and discovered that each had a yellow signal time set at 3.0 seconds -- a figure below recommended standards."
I suspect the Vietnamese treatment of dogs is an outlier, which doesn't invalidate the general rule. People think dogs are their friends, that they have stronger and more pronounced feelings and emotions than pigs (which may or may not be true - most people, including me, have never had pigs as pets). The same can be observed with cows in India - I suspect hurting a dog would be less of a crime than hurting a cow there.

Anyways, I wasn't talking about eating animals - I was talking about being cruel to animals. That's where the perceived consciousness plays a role - you don't want to hurt something that you see as more or less similar to you and capable of the same thoughts and emotions like you.

P.S. The fact that I'm talking like these are all facts and statistically proven theories is just for style. In reality I'm talking out of my a$$.
Seems like gender ratio is not changing over time. But, to my surprise, there are actually more females than I expected.
Got an email from VUDU about this, several things were stolen form their offices, includes hard drives:

"Our investigation thus far indicates that these hard drives contained customer information, including names, email addresses, postal addresses, phone numbers, account activity, dates of birth and the last four digits of some credit card numbers. It's important to note that the drives did NOT contain full credit card numbers, as we do not store that information. Additionally, please note if you have never set a password on the VUDU site and have only logged in through another site, your password was not on the hard drives.

While the stolen hard drives included VUDU account passwords, those passwords were encrypted. We believe it would be difficult to break the password encryption, but we can't rule out that possibility given the circumstances of this theft. So we think it's best to be proactive and ask that you be proactive as well."

As is the case in almost every password breach, it would be nice to know exactly how they "ecnrypted" the passwords.
cool, thanks. that's one i saw before, but some people complained about performance degradation. have you seen any performance hit after installing the plug-in?
The 30" quoted by the GP was 2560x1600 pixels

The TB 27" monitor has 2560x1440 pixels (10% less)

That's close enough for the ballpark calculation of the GP.

(I'm not saying I 100% follow the GP's understanding of the numbers and systems issues, because I don't. I responded because I've seen the two-monitor, one-cable setup in practice.)
Maybe the VC model isn't up to the task of funding the future...
