How about "cli-completion"?

You don't need a "cool name"; you need to communicate clearly. Code communicates.

Think spoken language. There's a reason why street slang suggests (wrongly or not) that the speaker is less educated.
I'm not what anyone would call a Bush supporter, but the portion where they veer into personal attacks on his intelligence seems a bit out of place, if only for how low it stoops. I think that argument could have been framed much better.

To me, it seems like he's someone that easily gets flustered when speaking publicly, and has the unfortunate habit of digging in when he feels threatened (and he probably got overly sensitive to feeling threatened as time went on and he was mocked for his speaking.

It's also probably partly me. I would rather look for an explanation that doesn't entail him being an imbecile. Regardless of whether I liked or approved of him, I most definitely don't like the idea that we were lead by a moron for eight years, and what that implies about the country and populace that elected him - twice (depending on your view, I guess).

I'm not an Uber user but don't really think they are stretching the truth:

- Permits exist for private car hire services in Sweden. The STA has issued them before.

- However these are currently reserved for circumstances eg members of royal families or prominent business leaders.

It isn't a stretch of the truth to say the STA are denying such permits to Uber, and that regular citizens should have the same services available to them as these other groups.
An economist and his friend are walking down the street when the friend sees a ten dollar bill on the sidewalk.

“Look,” he says, “it’s a ten dollar bill”.
“Nonsense,” says the economist. “If that was a ten dollar bill, someone would have picked it up by now.”
My original post imagined only a radio relay satellite. You're talking about something that's much more interesting, a satellite with sensors and a way to relay its data to the surface. I'm sure this will happen eventually, and I agree it's a pretty exciting prospect.

In your scenario, a small number of overflights each 24 hours would be more than enough time to download the stored data.
If the second thing happened a lot I'd agree. But I don't know many cases where the product doesn't either halt, or degenerate rapidly after being acquired by another company.

I'm sure one can think of one or two such cases. But can they think of ten?

So that reasoning I don't think applies. The founders know that the product will go down the drain post acquisition, but they still do it for the money.

"One day we had a conversation where we figured we could just try to predict the stock market, and then we decided it was illegal. So we stopped doing that."
About 10 years ago I had pretty much this exact conversation with RMS over email. As a video game developer, I made box software that I needed people to buy in order for me to get paid. I put it to him that without keeping our code and assets "closed" we couldn't make games. RMS's response was that he'd rather we not make games then: if we couldn't make them "open" then he'd rather we not make them at all.

I still write software for money. GNU/Linux is still doing rather well. Thanks to the law, I still get to make that business model choice.

However, I do not confuse a car with a piece of software or music track. If we are discussing moral rights, or "property", we cannot have such a discussion without being clear on our terms. Nobody is smacked on the head, nor any "stuff" taken, when someone torrents an MP3. However, people continue to die having their "stuff" taken.
I'm sorry. I guess that I didn't make myself clear. I meant that distrusting people in suits should be used along side wearing one. You're absolutely right that this is a universal social bias that you can't erase simply through an act of will. Everyone will judge you on your appearance and you need act accordingly. However, if you don't try to overcome your own bias, you're ignoring people for no good reason.

To put it differently, the first lesson you should learn from Monster Cable is that, with proper marketing, you can get people to pay $60 for a $1 cable. However, the second lesson you shouldn't buy Monster Cable.
I never know whether to call myself a programmer, engineer, or developer. I think the reason for this is that it doesn't matter one bit and who gives a shit?
Is there somewhere you'd like us to report Linux issues? As it stands, the model creation is unusable, because when clicking the center mouse button, it spins very rapidly. The alternative (alt+left click) is the "grab window" shortcut in X, so that won't work either.
It seems kind of weird that they (I mean Apple specifically) have not started doing online conferences yet. We are talking bleeding-edge development, are we not?
Terry Gross interviewed Matthew Weiner, the creator of Mad Men, on her show yesterday and he had what I thought was a great quote about morality. "People have great morality when they are observing other people." If you are making the decision you probably have a reason for thinking it is the right one and it will be hard to see that it was the wrong one. You will believe that you are justified in your actions. I think if you are a well paid executive at a company and you know your job is to increase shareholder value then it may be difficult to see what may be good for society if it is ultimately bad for business.

I went to school for finance and in my experience the social good of business decisions is rarely considered. What is considered is: Will this make a profit? Are we working within the law? I am fairly certain that, at least on Wall Street, businesses would totally run amok without regulation.
I do agree with you regardless, just curious
No, I didn't say you made it up. I'm saying even if they said it we can still be cynical about it.

AppGyver Prototyper (appgyver.com) is my weapon of choice. Quite similar, but more native stuff.
In my experience it is fairly manual. Here it is at a very high level. First you want to determine if this is really a DDoS or legitimate traffic.

You might be notified via downtime, alerts of load, in this instance, I suspect; download graphs, log analytic (if using a cdn which can handle the load, then you might not notice for a while i.e. eye popping bill).

Narrowing down the attack profile means looking at logs. Be that network flow data (very helpful) or in this instance web server logs. Probably something like: totals grouped by ip, destination url, etc to see if there are any spikes.

Also, managing stress. If you are some type of retailer then you likely are losing money, people are asking for updates, etc. This can be extremely stressful.

Ask HN: How are you storing OAuth access keys and secrets?
During a regular OAuth dance, you receive and save users OAuth access keys and secrets. Each time you need to act on behalf of the user you'll retrieve an access key and secret.

Question is: how do you store this information and prevent an attacker from getting access to it?

This doesn't directly answer your question, but I will say that if you are in an organization where "formal attire" is (re)introduced as a means to "improve the professionalism of the organization", it is time to start looking for another job.

1) It doesn't solve anything. (Despite some anecdotal or loose correlation between being "dressed up" and feeling "more professional".)

2) The type of people who promulgate such policies tend to think "they know what's right" and to be very much about control (in a top-down sense). One way or another, it's about manipulation (in some cases, even expecting to reduce headcount through resulting attrition). It is also, as often as not, "putting lipstick on the pig" before selling the organization in one fashion or another.

Just one jaded employee's perspective. But, you have been warned.

P.S. I'll add that I understand, even if I personally dislike, the role and effect of attire in some specific roles. What I'm talking about is a blanket policy that does not take employee roles into account at all.

From the male perspective:

If you're a back office person with no customer interface, or perhaps worse, a techie who has to go crawling around the floor after cables and such, being uncomfortable in and having to prematurely wear out an expensive suit is not very considerate treatment.

I'm suddenly reminded, too, of working around moving parts and having to wear a ready-made noose around my neck (neck tie). Throwing the tie over your shoulder is not very safe, and tucking it into your shirt is awkward and uncomfortable and can quickly soil the tie. A tie clip can help somewhat, but it still leaves bits out front that might get snagged if you lean in too close.

P.P.S. Ok, you hit one of my "buttons" and I perhaps too quickly responded. Looking again at this, I now want to ask you, why are you asking this? Do you face a particular situation? Or is this one of those "fishing" questions that seem to be becoming more prevalent on HN (to my personal dissatisfaction, for one).

If the article's thesis is correct, if depression can be modulated by way of brain chemistry, the it's not a mental illness, it's a physical illness with mental symptoms.

I bet there are few here that don't already believe that. Further, whether the article is correct or not, depression is a physical illness with mental symptoms.

And I'm very glad the medical world has moved past the idiocy of the early and mid-20th century beliefs around mental illness. Maybe now we can get to some effective treatments.

My money is on pharmacology being only a single piece of the treatment, with many required (diet, exercise) to achieve full health. But hopefully a pill will help people have enough hope and energy to fulfill the rest of the treatment.

Searching for "Get from LA to SF and stay there for 2 nights only for 50$. Round trip.", the rideshare results on the left seemed accurate (free seat for $10 Santa Monica to Irvine, and another for the return), but the map was centered on France.
Test against your own audience, but I would bet heavily against the conclusion "Usage limited trials outperform free trials" for the majority of SaaS apps. Dropbox's case is different with a capital D because the trial/invite mechanic is code to their viral adoption.

One powerful reason why you generally want to avoid having a meter running is you are really making two related but distinct sales: you are trying to convince them to pay, yes, but you are also trying to convince them to use your thing versus their existing way of doing business. That is often the harder sale. Putting a marginal cost, even in free quota, for using your thing puts friction in the adoption process, which you KEENLY do not want.

While it may be the case as a bootstrapped entrepreneur that your business has not yet spent the sum of $600 on everything put together, the overwhelming majority of businesses are not like you. Many businesses will spend $600 today on one line item, for instance virtually any company which employs 3 or more college graduates. Many of these businesses also have habits with regards to buying software which are more beneficial to SaaS companies than your habits are, for example a) having predictable positive ROI on integration costs and b) never attempting to optimize for $150 expenses by switching providers on a whim.
How? They have created an app connecting two market participants that before were not connected.

I choose to live in Chicago, but have lived in NY and the Bay Area. SF and NYC are awesome and I love to travel! :-) But I choose Chicago for a lower cost of living, which means my personal financial runway is longer, which means I can take more risks career/product-wise. And, I love Chicago. But I don't buy the argument that residence is destiny. I choose to live by Steve Martin's famous line: "Be so good they can't ignore you." When you're really good, it doesn't matter where you live. I'm not saying I'm that good, but I am saying I strive to focus on the work, not on where I do it. If a potential investor won't invest because I'm not in NY, SF, or whereever, fuck 'em.
What kind of person would DDoS a video player website?
I look as the difference in your example that one suction cost $600 at the initial stages. Which to me indicates that you're very price sensitive. Maybe this is how the other company weeds out people who want to pay as little as possible. They basically don't want to fund startups. It's just a different business model.

Too many times I hear here people saying startups should charge more, get paid for your efforts. But then if you do you're critized for being too expensive for startups. So what's the option then?
How long did it take CPAN to get that way? And I still prefer my native OS to handle packages better than some random developers; that's one of the big reasons I chose it (Debian, for the record). Good developers aren't always good sysadmins. Add to that NIH syndrome, and you get things like Gems.

I can understand cross-platform stability and one-button ease of use, but quite frankly, I've already got one-button ease of use (apt-get), and I long ago gave up on proprietary software that doesn't meet my needs (handling packages properly being one of them).

As for Emacs packages that haven't been packaged for my distro yet, the Emacs library itself is huge (hell, org-mode is now standard!), so if a package needs more than a repository checkout, add to load-path and require to get started, I'm going to have to question its quality.

From what I've read, when you block your adenosine receptors with caffeine, your body responds by creating more receptors and more adenosine. Hence why you need to drink more coffee to get that 'kick' over time. I would think you would have to look up at what point your adenosine maxes out and what amount of daily caffeine intake that requires. I still get crazy tired later in the day despite my large caffeine intake, so, for me, it seems the adenosine has won. Need to go cold turkey soon and reset everything :)
"Civility" enforced by a coercive state is no civility at all; it is the protection of the interests of the politically connected against the interests of everyone else.

Fantastic! I had read about such a log visualisation tool a long time ago (I'm not sure but I think I read it about it via NTK which should date it) but I had lost any knowledge of what it might be until now.

Now I can see such a tool and it looks wonderful.

Why Mac, Windows and Chromebook, but not Linux? There must be some proprietary code? I bet it won't run on an unlocked Chromebook either.
I'll accept (begrudgingly so) cutesy names. I take issue with simple nouns that could be an obvious thing but are taken by another project because they're easy to remember.

Example: "bingo" Node module. I was thinking of building a simple Bingo game app using Socket.IO, and creating a module that lets it be included in an app. The name is already taken, by a module for .. testing function calls. May be a great project, but how is "bingo" better than "function-introspection". Modules names are pretty much domain squatting.

Next language that comes out with a module system I should grab names like "database" and make the modules randomly post obscenities to Twitter or something equally unrelated.

You have a point about the phone being kind of a red herring. Here's a link to the larger CubeSat program:

http://www.nasa.gov/directorates/heo/home/CubeSats_initiativ...

There is significant interest in these small units (10cm on a side, but combinable up to 6 units) on the part of universities. Here's a list of the upcoming launches:

http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2013-073

I think that within NASA CubeSats are regarded with limited interest. The conventional route for a new satellite measurement from the lab to space is via airborne, or in some cases balloon-borne, experiments. That's how, say, new radar, lidar, hyperspectral imaging, etc., technologies are proven. Lab bench, field experiments, airplane, space.

I should point out that the aim of this Bill is to reform existing law, so as provide increased protection for people accused of libel or slander. The existing law was very bad, as shown by cases like that of Simon Singh [1].

The Libel Reform Campaign has an initial summary assessment of the Defamation Bill [2].

From the Bill's summary [3]:

includes a requirement for claimants to show that they have suffered serious harm before suing for defamation
removes the current presumption in favour of a jury trial
introduces a defence of "responsible publication on matters of public interest"
provides increased protection to operators of websites that host user-generated content, providing they comply with the procedure to enable the complainant to resolve disputes directly with the author of the material concerned
introduces new statutory defences of truth and honest opinion to replace the common law defences of justification. and fair comment.
