Nice.

Related, I noticed that sex.io showed up high in your list. For anyone considering registering the domain, think twice:

No .IO domain may be used, directly or indirectly, for any purpose that is sexual or pornographic or that is against the statutory laws of any Nation. In the event of NIC.IO being advised by any party that a specific site breaches this condition then NIC.IO reserves the right to immediately deactivate the offending registration. The applicant may seek the reinstatement of any suspended domain name by seeking a determination by an Arbitrator appointed by the World Intellectual Property organisation.

The above is from the nic.io allocation rules [1].

9 hours / day is about 3 hours / day more than what has been confirmed by studies to be efficient for a knowledge worker.

So if you're working over 6 hours/day, you are most probably wasting your employer's time and your own life. Infrequent longer streches of work are a different thing, of course, they work, but they need to be countered by vacation time which brings the average to about 5-6 hours /day anyway.

If all 15 year olds were possessed of the monumental maturity, courage, and self-assurance necessary to exist in a world they cannot escape that treats them with contempt and hatred 5 days a week and merely let it roll off like water off a duck's back the world would be a very, very different place.
You should really have one sentence explaining what it does on the homepage. I'm not going to send a text to anyone without knowing what I'm sending first. Nice idea/design.

This is really nice, it would be cool to add a rotate button - the image I picked at random to upload I think was rotated via EXIF.

Also, it'd be really cool to have a "simplify lines" type feature, I was using a fairly dark photo and the lines were a bit jagged - but generally the foreground item will have smooth edges.
Wtf - 3000 ATM withdrawals in the same card and no alarms go off? Presumably there is a "ignore flags flag" they set too!

So this just reminds me of the Microsoft paper a few months back - the problem is not robbing the electronic bits, the problem is getting them out of the financial system.

In the traditional bank transfer they need a money mule stupid enough to transfer to a Russian bank. In this one the people with the (inside) knowledge to uncap 12 cards needed to find 100 guys walking up to atms, plus their supervisors and contacts.

So it seems either you can rob a bank but need an idiot to help you get it out the country, or you can rob a bank and need a guy who happily sends hooded killers round to your place.

All for what Zuckerberg sees as small change.
This is a fantastic article which gets at a lot of what makes depression so pernicious. It's actually nice to see it presented with cartoons - it could easily come across as patronising/playing down the condition, but Allie does it so well that it instead makes it somehow more approachable, more visceral, and certainly a fantastic way of clarifying the nature of the condition to the non-depressives in your life.

One thing she doesn't address (hopefully she simply didn't have to experience it) is the dark side of other's reactions to it - the blame you receive for 'being lazy', or 'being so morose all the time', or the irritability it can engender in you. Understandable if you hadn't explained to them your condition, but I find people react this way even if you do - they simply can't accept something bad like that happening without you somehow being responsible, or they just don't believe you.

An even darker side to the disease is those, I don't want to say people, who pick up on your condition, and see it as a weakness to exploit. That's especially the case at work for the more bully-ish types - who better to pick on than a depressive who feels like they're a worthless piece of shit already?

I think the more wonderful articles like this there are out there, the more we can attack the stigma of this disease (and mental illness in general), and the more unacceptable it will be for people to take advantage of it.
How interesting that naming a standard process of mental development through adulthood would garner such a negative response. Growing up is a process, not a state, that one is constantly achieving. That process is generally done through overcoming new obstacles and challenges that one hits during their life and overcoming them. From the definition:

3. To develop and reach maturity.
7. To come to be by a gradual process or by degrees; become

Suicide is not development, or becoming by a degree, it is an escapism and the most concrete and final way of 'giving up'. By perserveering and overcoming your obstacles you learn that nothing is insurmountable given time, although it is usually never easy.

I didn't not mean to be condicending in any way or to insult the decisions of the many great people that have chosen to take their liives. I was just speaking from experience.

Don't assume you know what 'makes sense' from the point of view of evolution - feeling very anxious about embarrassment doesn't really make that much sense until you consider the consequences of violating the norms of the tribe in our hunter/gatherer past, for example.

Additionally, the whole 'chemical imbalance' thing is somewhat questionable - if you were to do extreme sports all the time you might find aspects of your mental experience changing over time, has your brain chemistry become imbalanced, or has experience changed the chemistry of your brain?

I'm not saying you're wrong, I simply question your certainty about the inevitability of a simple chemical cure (as mentioned by sibling post, SSRIs are still a bit of a crap shoot.)
The only actual difference being that cryptography never killed anyone...
From an engineering point of view, the mere fact that these people were able to withdraw millions of dollars from five accounts in multiple locations simultaneously is just absurd. Even if these guys had direct access to the database to be able to change the withdrawal limits and balances of the cards, any engineer with half a brain in charge of designing their back end would create a separate system that monitors transactions and does both security and reality checks.

Same card being used within seconds at two locations 5 miles apart? Probably something funny going on. "Deposits" of millions of dollars on a single pre-paid card in a day? Might be unusual.

These banks deserve to lose every dime they have to lose if they are this stupid, or are hiring such inept IT people.
Snapchat alerts users that the person on the other end has saved a screenshot, so as long as you don't see that, most people would assume that it has, in fact, disappeared.
I actually really think there's something in mindful meditation, but flatly stating it as the be-all and end-all solution is more than a bit patronising, belies the endless effort required to make it work, and comes across as somewhat arrogant, which is probably why you've been downvoted into oblivion here!

You might wonder why such a wonderful item gets very little attention. It's been submitted many, many times before, but it seems never to have had many comments.

Perhaps it just stands alone, and comment or discussion is superfluous.
I can't believe nobody took vag.io. Then again, there's not much you can do with it due to the ridiculous rules on .IO domains.
Saying there will be a cure to depression like we have with other diseases is a bit like saying there will eventually be a spray-on lubricant that can magically fix any malfunctioning machine. It really oversimplifies the problem. We'll get better and better at treating depression, but I don't think it will ever be an easy fix until we have nanomachines that can reprogram our brains.
Could somebody explain to me the imporance of .io domains in today's market? It seems they are very hot right now, especially in the startup world and I think they could even become as popular as .com.
Changing my gender and adding years to my age, makes for more bizarre and entertaining FB advertising spam.
Nope, not any more. Assuming your tool is correct (which, from checking other sources, it appears to be), all two letter io domains are taken, even those starting with q. There are still a decent number of letter + number domains [1], along with a ton of three letter domains.

[1] I posted a list of letter + number .io domains recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5672237 - most are still available, but some were immediately taken due to the post and due to FramesPerSushi's tool (which I found rather useful).

Email Overload: Email vs Social
> They do not make any sense, and do not help survival of the individual.

"Here's the real hell of it: depression and frustration and hatred are mechanisms to prevent activity in a different world than that in which we live now. It is best to sleep long hours and move little when the nights are long and the days are short and the food is scarce, during the dark European winter. But the adaptation is no longer relevant now when we are expected to move about, when we can shut ourselves inside and make an artificial night.

We must instead play a different trick on the wicked and limited body and brain. We must convince it that we are heir to the greatness of our ancestors, that we are still the mighty hunter on the plains of Africa. We must run - a block or two at first, and damn the opinions of the onlookers. We must gradually run further until our breath comes in ragged gasps and the sweat of our back runs down the crack of our ass, and we must learn to love the fire in our lungs and muscles." (taken from a reddit post)

The reasoning in this post resonates with me, although I understand that it is dodgy at best.

[1] Long note: I was depressed and passively suicidal for a while, a few years back, and I know what it feels (or rather doesn't feel) like when the fishes are dead.

I remember that I started running, but can't tell if I did so because I was better, or the opposite. (Probably the latter: reminiscing on the worst times, I cannot possibly imagine that I would have had the drive to do anything therapeutic, much less physical activity.
Depression came in waves, maybe I did so during the softest crests?)

Unlike the article, I do not think that running is cure for depression; Even if it does physiologically help, even if you are aware of that fact, you just lack the motivation to act. would a dead fish take the necessary steps to get back in the water, if you told its dead body water would bring him back to life?

But once it eases, running keeps it at bay (what works for me, etc) .
Point is, the eye is a (relatively) straight-forward vision machine. The lens is not the right shape? Wear glasses and the system enters an improved stable state.

The brain a continously changing feedback machine. It changes its very physical architecture by what you hear, see and think. Trying to correct it via lobotomy or medication has not really worked out that great and there is reason to suspect it will not work out great in the future.

Ironically, substances that indeed improve mood and well-being in depressed people (especially MDMA, but also LSD, Psilocybin, Heroin ) are dangerous, addictive and verboten. They essentially brute force some of the subsystems in the brain (like pleasure/reward) and I believe every substance that does this is going to be addictive.

Most developers use 3rd Party Engines anyway, so they are also limited by the fact that many game engines dont support Linux/Mac yet. But that number is definately growing!

In my experience top talent is available pretty much 24/7. Not necessarily in the office, but "always on". In order to really climb up the ladder, they incorporate work into almost every part of their lives, and most of them seem to enjoy it.

The main reason that this TLD has recently gained traction is due to google adding .io to their generic country code top level domain (gccTLD) list:

Well, the claim was that Google's standard is higher than that of (some) other actors, so the behavior of the other actors is kind of directly relevant...

IT codes according to what the business wants. If the business folks don't want it after someone brings up such things because it would cost more money and take away resources from another project, it's not going to get done, and you'll see this kind of stuff.
grey-area is referencing the analog hole, which is completely undetectable and unpreventable.
It does. And it should be a legitimate concern for any startup that is hoping to rely strictly on a .io domain. The story of the vb.ly link shortener - and their seized domain - is worth reading:

or tit.io, but I just decided to buy it.
Interesting strategy to reinvent Yahoo!

Perhaps MM does not believe in the ability of Yahoo's existing human capital to make the change.
But is it enough, to "buy" (supposedly) good people and bring them on-board? What about the big vision?
More generally, I'm not even sure if there's still room for a content company in the magnitude of Yahoo.
>>9 hours / day is about 3 hours / day more than what has been confirmed by studies to be efficient for a knowledge worker.

May be, but nearly every successful person I know falls into two basic categories.

1. Either cheats/is-lucky, is active in corporate politics and can get job done because of being in the circle of a higher manager's yes men. Gets out of turn opportunities etc. Or in short your usual cheating.

2. Works very hard, gets stuff done. Solves problems which people want. Makes it rain and takes the rewards back home at the end of the day.

I haven't seen any exceptions to these scenarios.

You can point factory assembly era type studies, where incentives for both succeeding and failing are none. The rewards are very linear to efforts. And you get only incremental hourly income for more effort. Obviously in such cases productivity will fall with extra working hours. Because motivation falls, the person begins to associate working extra with slavery and being paid bones for slogging to make somebody else rich.

But if the reward and work relationship is non-linear. And you get good enough money for taking a risks and working real hard. The motivation peaks and corresponding work done and profit from that rise.
Could be related to the image color profile. Noticed the same issue when I uploaded a jpeg image with a CMYK color profile, with RGB images it worked normally. I've had the same trouble when using Java's ImageIO to read images. There were some workarounds, but I didn't find a robust one. Ended up using a preprocessor to normalize images before reading them with Java. Would love to know if someone knows a better solution.
Given the rules on the domain, do you have any specific plans for your shiny new domain?
Is that for Android only? Yesterday my friend and I tried it (I have an iPhone, he has a Samsung), because I was curious if I will be able to take a screenshot while holding my finger on the image and it worked. He received no notification about the screenshot, though.
Working pst 8 hours a day adds bugs that you then have to work more hours to fix.

This feels like a lot of work because it is. But it's not "achieving more".
Indeed there is a certain amount of irony in placing an article about a bug in a casual sex hookup facebook app --that permits others to see you're a user when the whole selling point of the app is that they can't-- behind a facebook garden wall that one must log in to see. Truth in advertising and brand trust and all that jazz.

Though really, I just don't like logging into walled gardens if I can avoid it. Others linked directly to articles.

But I will definitely try harder next time to ensure that my comments are appropriately lengthy and sufficiently witty, because I would hate to leave a comment that wasn't living up to HNs contribution standards.
Except that's not how it works with this. They've now incentivised a lot of people who'd never, ever care to download it just because it's been taken down, and brought massively more attention to it.
Your biggest roadblock will be trust, not technology. Players will have a hard time trusting you or each other without some existing reputation.
Banks must hire among the most inept IT people of any industry. Every time I log into PNC, I literally switch tabs and try and "do something else" for at least a minute, because that's how long it takes their Virtual Wallet bullshit to load. At least, that's what the site says it's doing. Loading. Only they have "HTML5" emblazoned in huge letters on the page, for some unknown reason, which inevitably makes me wonder what the fuck is taking so long then. Let me guess, your SOAP requests are 3 miles long. Uphill. Through the snow.

vag.io is no longer available. But vagio.com is. I have a feeling it wont be in a little while after I make this post. Sucks domain squatters are such fucking scumbags. Plus nobody is interested in the term 'vagio' in the first place or else both domains would have been taken before today, so there's no demand or means to make a profit off of them. I hate domain squatters... the worst form of scum on earth!

The problem is the range of projects aimed at making 3D-printers that can replicate the parts for itself. Any restrictions will see people designing plans for innocent looking components that can be used to assemble a restriction-free 3D-printer. It's a losing proposition to try to restrict this. They may succeed at delaying widescale adoption for a while, but not much more.
