This is just a taste of what it's like to be a european buying electronics from US firms - i.e. the US price=1000 USD, UK price=1000 GBP (1526 USD). I'd count yourself lucky the discrepancy is only 45 dollars :)

So frustrating. When I click te article on my phone, I get redirected to this page http://app.debka.com/n/ It's going out of its way to make it more difficult to use the site.
considering that I apparently have to pay in order to read it (first link)...
Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but the user id makes it sound like they're on shared hosting. I surely hope not.
I'd recommend a Debian Stable or Testing based Exim mailserver, coupled with vexim to provide mail service to multiple domains on one server. For AV, use either ClamAV or a commercial scanner.

I don't do spam filtering/greylisting on the server side, so I can't help you there.
I have been working on the platform since 2008. Do not invest heavily on facebook's platform; you will find yourself spending tons of time updating to their latest toolkits every 6 months. You will find that your virality fluctuates wildly with every experiment they do. And you can only contact 5% of your fans. The thing is, you find that after some point your virality is limited with facebook, because facebook actively stops users who legitimately want to share your stuff from doing so.

With that said, apps can benefit from facebook's wide userbase and ease of use. It's a good user base for initial visibility, and for trying out new stuff until your app starts gaining traction on its own. Deep integration with the platform is something i will never do again.
There are those out there that would likely say he killed many. The war on drugs etc. I personally wonder what he would have achieved if unconstrained, if he can do as much as he has while in prison.
Based on what we've seen before I wouldn't give Linode the benefit of the doubt.

The password is most likely cracked by now.
That's not just another take, that's another planet entirely.
Just some feedback. Your whole website is straining. I actually noticed my head (not just my eyes) moving back and forth left and right to see what else is on the site.

I can see how the responsiveness would work well on mobile devices, but it's painful to discover content on the site via a laptop. The content itself is OK since you have a fixed width.

TL;DR - The website is very difficult to enjoy because of the design.

I think it's hard to argue with a lot of the points he raises. Certainly the 'lack of virility' is an issue and it's much harder to get significant gains now without resorting to a few hacks. The most concerning point I think has to be the case where Facebook denies advertising to competing products. That would suck if it happened!!!

Again hard to argue with many of the points raised, but with that said I think there's still opportunity - just not the same as before where the likes of Zynga and iLike were able to get shed loads of traffic for virtually nothing.

Cognitive overhead doesn't just apply to products we'd think of as simple.

Vim is an example. One of the key benefits of Vim's editing style is that it reduces (one kind of) cognitive overhead. It really does.

You want to delete the current sentence? Just type 'das'. Want to change the text within the quotes? Just type 'ci"'. It allows you to more directly express your editing operations, rather than having to translate them into a number of steps. That reduces the cognitive overhead of that action.

It's also a case where you need a certain amount of training before you can perform the actions that reduce the cognitive overhead. Nothing says that the reduction in cognitive overhead has to be there from the get-go.

I'm not saying that Vim's operation reduces cognitive overhead in all ways, but that it does in one specific respect.
Whatever the merits of that claim, it's off-topic for this article.
> It's a big FU to a fragmented and unevolving couple billion dollar industry. I don't want to find a locksmith or go to Home Depot. I just want a duplicate key. And I don't care whether I pay $1.50 for it or $10 for it.

Meh, I like the idea but I'd much rather just stop by Home Depot and use the automated key duplication machine for $1.50. Last time I needed spare keys I spent $10 and got myself a handful.

I love the technology behind this (though not the name--I will never remember this name), and I bet they'll be successful, but I honestly don't see this denting the key duplication industry in the slightest.
How to Plan Your Online Presence
Should you stop wearing a bra?
This is one of those ideas that I think needs to discover some little nuance to work. Some use-case or utility it can slot into.

Context-less web publishing or is something that (IMO) has been tried in various forms and it doesn't seem to build momentum. The thing is, there are fairly easy no-specialized tools for this that a lot of people already use. Google docs & dropbox, for example.

The way I could see this taking off is for some sort of culture to arise around it. EG, it could work for 'ask/show HN.' Stuff that's needed for a limited time and for the purpose of a discussion.
Hmm, interesting view. But why would you want to model is-a relationships? Other than to share code?
It looks like you have both saykou and uokyas usernames? That's frowned upon here.
So i'm about to move out next week, I take a snapshot of the key (that's in my possession right now), pay with a prepaid Visa, and take next occupants stuff.

Easily s/apartment/office.

Flawless, proof that just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
ZoL looks pretty good - unfortunately if you want Samba on ZoL, of course with snapshots and ACLs, you will have problems, as ACL mapping is not implemented, if I understood things well. That is a real pitty, ZFS is great, Samba is great, Linux is great and having these three things working smoothly together without having to spend weeks of research on how to get it running would help many admins to finally get away from commercial clown & bloat systems. However, the groundwork is done and if we are lucky in 2014 the Linux + Samba4 + ZFS dreamteam will be available as a stable replacement.
I suppose we should be glad that most of these "terrorists" are incompetent fools, that means that the competent people of even the die-hard radicals have decided that there are better things to do than blow people up; hopefully something a bit more productive.

Show HN: Increase Your Social Popularity by Using the Right Hashtags
Those do not include the most ridiculous thing they've done.

The absolutely most bizarre thing is that, being "Chechnyan separatists", they attacked the US, precisely the one country they shouldn't have. An attack of Russia, while stupid in its unlikelihood to mobilize popular support for their country, would be at least understandable. Russia is, after all, raping their country every fucking hour. An attack of revenge, maybe against the military or police forces, would be what's expected.

Instead, they attacked the country which they should have tried to ally with, the US. With United-Statesian support, at least they could have a shot at independence, or at least some favourable publicity. There are plenty of reasons for that to happen [1]. The ironic thing is that, even though it was a passional, senseless move, the kind that no serious terrorist planner would consider, it could bring a better understanding, and better publicity for Chechnya in the West. I hope. Or maybe they just ripped to shreds the only good card their country had.

Every terror attack that is attempted, the more convinced I am of Bruce Schneier's views on terrorism: terrorist are fundamentally stupid, emotionally fragile, intellectually lazy people

That title caught my eye also. Not much difference between Unix text processing then, and now.
>What are you talking about? If it's "fun" it's "fun".

Fine, but that has nothing to do with anything. You should always try to find work you enjoy. But it doesn't affect the rate. Picking up trash probably isn't fun, but it doesn't pay more for being an awful job that no one wants to do. Why should "fun" jobs pay less? They should not.

>But in actuality, the startups out there offer realistic deals, if they don't, don't take the job. Simple as that.

Have you not seen people on this very site saying "well, the pay is bad but I don't mind because it's fun" or "I'd take 50% less if the job was fun" and so on? It happens fairly often.

>Now, if people are actually taking low paying jobs with barely any equity while the founders feast, I totally agree that's messed up.

I think the issue is, they see numbers and think "wow, I'm getting 15% of the company, that's huge!" but in reality their equity has no protections against delusion so by the time they could actually sell their stock it will be worth a few thousand. Nothing remotely compared to the salary hit they took. So they don't think they're getting barely any equity but that's nearly always the case for an employee.

>Also, the Michael Jordan example doesn't apply. He would be like a Google employee that demands a higher salary, and because he's worth it, gets it. He was having "fun" playing in the NBA, so he stayed. If he went out to start his own basketball league that would be a different story.

NBA isn't a company, it's an organization of individual companies. The Chicago Bulls are a separate company with their own staff, payroll and so on. The NBA would be comparable to something like "organic foods retail". It's not all of basketball but it's all of one kind of basketball (NBA pro ball).

Ironically (or not, and I missed your reference) random, un-nerdy Germans already fight with Youtube videos being blocked and are faced with a similar message very often [1].

Rather than a dump on a prison server, it would be easier to get Wikipedia to block the prison IP range from editing. I believe that some schools (high schools/secondary schools, not universities) do this due to high rates of vandalism.
You know what keeps me as a Netflix customer was how easy it was to cancel. A few years back, before online streaming, I just wasn't keeping up with the disks.. so I decided to cancel. No phone queue for an hour, no muss, no fuss, just cancelled online. I seem to remember getting maybe one email a month, not two or more a week... And when they added the online streaming, I came back.

I only use it a couple times a month, I find it hard to actually browse their catalog, but they do an okay job of suggestions. And I can usually find something interesting in a pinch. Most of all, I'm paying to keep them around, because of how good the experience was when I did cancel.

Contrast this to XM, when I had 3 radios, and only wanted to cancel one. Took three phone calls, with hold times of over 40 min each, to be mysteriously disconnected when they couldn't convince me to keep service on a radio in a car I no longer had. After that, I cancelled the whole thing.
A bit. Repetitively. The teenage-boy-director style of boob/arse shots a a touch over the top at times too.

> I almost feel like this complaint is the femninist equivalent to a #firstworldproblem, while women elsewhere being denied real opportunities.

It depends on the setting/environment, but most important of all is that no matter how bad things may look at the moment they can change for the better.

Anyway, the comments in here reminded me of my childhood: both my parents worked full-time jobs, with my dad usually taking two-hour breaks from work to come home and feed me lunch. He then was going back to the construction site he was working on (he is a civil engineer) and would come back home much later in the evening because of that. If this could happen in a very male-dominated area such as a construction site from a former Communist East-European country, I hope it can happen in and around Silicon Valley as well.

There is fairly strong evidence that they were not "Chechnyan separatists" and more likely had an Jihadist motivation. Although it is also highly likely that they acted completely alone and are just stupid.
I usually think of the comedy specials as HBO's original content, going back to the 80's even. Given how successful LouisCK has been, it could be an opportunity to take this jewel from HBO in the near term. As shows like last comic standing have shown is that there are a lot of comedians out there that are very entertaining, the production costs can be relatively high quality, and low cost. Building out that area could be really good for Netflix, which already has a lot of older stand up content.
This reply is becoming generic here, and has a lot of truth in it. It does ignore however Google's part in actively and quite insistently tempting users to adopt its services.

Sometimes when I look at my old code I think "Wow, I didn't know I was that good!". No joke and I'm not sure what it means.
This reminds of a story I've read about (big) companies and electricity: At the start of the 20th century it was typical for companies to produce their own electricity. The concerns where basically the same as they are now with Internet services: Your business depends on another company; what will you do if they close down? Or throw you out? And what about the transmission - I've heard the net is not stable? and so on. So, what did change? Trust. Electric companies invested heavily in various areas:

- Reliability. The electric transmission net was shit at this time. Blackouts each week, sometimes each day were typical
- Cross-transmission i.e. a shared transmission net instead of one net per provider, so you could switch without much hassle if your provider failed you
- Better contracts to guarantee that you will get your electricity and that a company cannot dump you without notice

All of this parts worked together to convince companies that electricity was no longer something you had to do yourself, but something that could be provided by someone else.
As far as I can tell Google tries to be the outsourcing address for various (all?) net related services which have been done "in house" in the past. The problem seems to be that they fail in the areas highlighted above. As long as this doesn't change many companies will be hesitant to trust Google with services they depend on. And maybe posts like the OPs (and robomartins) show that they are correct in their assessment.

How hard it would be to develop a patched browser (on a secured os, plus a firewall of course) that would only allow "read only web access" (not form submitting, no way to manually go to an url by entering it) to a limited number of domains? I guess the number of dangerous inmates with advanced tech skills or outside resources is very low, so you could separate these high risk guys from the rest of the pack. There's the possibility of high risk guys using the low-risk guys to communicate for them, but really, I don't think there are that many "criminal masterminds" out there... I mean the really dangerous ones are either in high security prisons, or they are too smart to get into prison anyhow.

>Cornell NYC Tech has received “an incredibly generous,” $133-million gift from two Cornell alumni

Well when the donor is an alum from said elites-only institution, we can't realistically expect this kind of money to go anywhere else.
A number of reasons:

1) People pre-ordered, but didn't find out about the crippling problems until after installing it. By that time, they'd opened it. People are used to servers being overwhelmed for a few hours right on launch day. After that's passed and the problem persists, the whole thing is too late.

2) EA was refusing refunds of digital downloads. [1]

3) Even if you subscribed to their crap and waited for them to fix it, the game still exhibited crippling flaws which they refused or took ages to address, for example with the game's pathfinding system [2].

I am sure there were other issues that people faced but not being someone who actually fell in to the Simcity trap, I didn't follow it any more closely.

In short, the whole 'just don't buy it' attitude does not work as it's a naive view that completely ignores several key parts of the puzzle. Importantly, those key parts of the puzzle all involve the power resting in EA's hands where the consumers have little leverage to affect change. EA already had their money and had disclaimers on not needing to offer refunds, so the approach of shut up and let the problem go away was fine for them.

But these particular two guys were attending a top university in the United States so they can't have been too deficient in the IQ department. Why they would attack the country that gave them shelter is beyond me.

For run-of-the-mill suicide bombers I think that fewer brains is actually preferable from the perspective of their higher ups. The less they think things through and the more impressionable they are the bigger the chance they will go through with whatever stupidity they are being tasked with.

Essentially this is an education problem, if you'd manage to get people to think for themselves early enough then you might be able to head off a lot of misery before it gets off the ground.

I've had terrible trouble with SpamAssassin in the past; can you share an effective config, and are there pre-built spam/ham databases around so you don't need to go through the entire training process?
