Flickr has a massive amount of hardcore jpgs. That's where a lot of the images posted on Tumblr come from. Flickr just does a decent job of hiding it from the average user.

Here is a good (and mostly SFW as far as images) Flickr group that advises on how to work within Flickr's terms of service: http://www.flickr.com/groups/unsafe/
Having worked in both media and creative agencies I can't agree with the potential revenue analysis in the article.

User Generated Content, as many here have pointed out, is not valuable and often is indeed toxic for big brands. The young audience surfing cat pictures is also not valuable. What products will the advertisers sell to them? Games, some fashion, fizzy drinks but then what?

Lastly, non targeted audience is also less valuable for obvious reasons. This is why they are looking at ~ $0.75 CPM but LinkedIn campaigns start at $1.50 and go only up from there.

Successfully monetizing anonymous teenagers wasting time on the internet is something nobody has managed to do so far. Ask Digg.com
A higher minimum wage doesn't "give" anyone a decent job, it just outlaws a bunch of non-decent jobs in the hope that employers need those jobs done enough to raise the wage on them. It's obvious that that will be the case for some minimum wage jobs, but it's equally obvious that it won't be the case for others.

So with the drive for higher minimum wage comes the implicit value judgment that having no job is better than having a low paying job.
Wouldn't you still need a battery for the times when sunlight isn't shining on your laptop?

And - does anyone really use their computers in the sun?

Other than that, I do agree with you that neighbourhoods should use local energy - but can we rely on purely natural energy? The wind doesn't blow all the time, the sun doesn't shine at night, and thermal energy isn't always available.
>If performance at the expense of convenience was your main reason for going with static site generation, you might want to rethink that decision (there are other perfectly good reasons for wanting to use a static site generator, security being my favourite).

Great comment. I didn't get this part though. What would be a better alternative?

Performance is one of the main reasons I considered this (uptime is another). Let's just say I've had the same shared hosting for over 5 years and the speed/uptime have been a disappointment for a long time. When I was working on a site and noticed a 500kb background image was taking 2 seconds to load and around the same time I saw that the spotify homepage was streaming a fullscreen video instantly, that was kind of the last straw.

So I thought the idea was that skipping dynamic generation, using distribution (well, I think my assumption was S3 did have edge locations), and just having a better host was a big win.
I am thinking of switching to them(personal usage). I've had a Google Voice for a long time but seeing no way to easily use it from my phone or desktop I guess I'll rather dump them, they don't seem to do much good with GV either. Maybe it will go into Google cemetery soon.

I am going to purchase some credit at Plivo. Not sure how much they charge for calls to Indian numbers.

Update: Just checked, they don't offer calls to Indian numbers. At least that is what I understood from https://manage.plivo.com/pricing/

Can we rise above punchlines, please? Slavery was not defined by low salaries, it was define by getting caned or worse if you tried to quit.

operating in certain countries may require paying attention to such things, same as for copyright violations and other "minor" offences.

While a smaller corp may ignore the issue, yahoo is big enough that it's guaranteed to have to pay attention to these things.

You can use binaries. In Elixir strings are by default binaries containing UTF-8 codepoints, which are already nicely handled by binary matching and construction.
"Simply put, this is wrong. There are not three kinds of laziness."

This, especially, summarises my feelings about a vast number of HN submissions and articles on the internet in general of the form "The X kinds of Y" or "The 10 reasons Z" or "The Blahblahblah Principle". We all know this type of article. Many books too, especially in self-help and dieting, etc.

At best the writer has described a model which is useful for understanding some aspect of a larger picture, and at worst they are just doing reasonable-sounding pattern-recognition from a largely anecdotal pool, and then building what they believe is a bulletproof system from it all.

I remember when I was in university I wrote notebooks full of this kind of thing. I go through them from time to time and find interesting ideas wrapped up in way too much rigidity in search of a neat formalised system. There must be half a dozen "guru" bestsellers to be refined from those notebooks, if anyone had the time and lack of internal honesty to write them.

For a while now, variants of "Simply put, this is wrong" have been what my brain returns whenever I see such articles, yet I do still read them and I do still find nuggets.

do you need to do much "rich" string processing in erlang? it certainly is not designed for that usecase.

you _can_ do quiet a bit of string processing in erlang's bytestrings (note: not unicode-aware), see e.g. cowboy (which has nice to read sourcecode).

as to why erlang does not have a haskell-like ByteString, i guess, it's because haskell has very fast (but potentially unsafe) c-bindings. erlang's ports are too slow to use them for something that small-grained. i'm not sure, why no BIFs were introduced to bring somthing similar, honestly.
It sounds like you and tptacek might get along...

If you consider the time from when he started to publish essays on a regular basis ("Java's Cover" in April 2001) until November 2012 it is 143 essays in 140 months.

Given the length and quality of his posts I'd consider this incredibly prolific for a single writer. Otherwise I completely agree with you.

(Some time ago I made a table with the length of the essays vs time. I never published it, but if someone is interested I can do so.)

Not trying to be mean, but I was honestly confused by a couple things:

1. The server for the company's core product is written in Erlang, but no one at the company is an Erlang expert?

2. The company decides to rewrite the core of its product in python, and gives the job to an intern?

I feel like I must be missing something....
That's 2/3 correct ...

The practice to awakening odds are pretty poor. If you were to ask your fellow practitioners how many of them felt as if they fully grasped (experienced) the teacher's teaching, I'd be shocked if more than 1 out of 20 said yes.

Add to that the fact that practice in the Buddhist world is almost always an ass kicker of the highest order (hello screwdriver in the knees), then one wonders why take it up in the first place? The whole process seems a bit like the Christian, "yours is not to reason why"; i.e. it will become clear(er) later.

Saying that, I did meet someone who awakened without a teacher. I suggested that he attend a couple of sitting groups that I used to go to. After the Dharma talk/discussion at each group, without having said a word, both teachers came up to him and basically said, how on earth did you do that?

Talking with him later he said he came into this life to awaken; i.e. it wasn't difficult and he was only just scratching the surface.

Pretty rare obviously, but then again, practicing for 5, 10, 20+ years and awakening is also not guaranteed.
>>It's not in most part or EUROPE for instance.

I think this was true earlier but not anymore, IMHO.

Take the example of Swedish higher education and other countries. They are as costly, especially for people coming from outside - from Non-EU/US and third world countries and low prospective of jobs after finishing the course makes practically these universities more expansive.

Now take an example of UK. Jobs are scarce there and once you finish the degree, you don't have a job offer, you leave the country that very day. Cost of education there? Don't even ask it!

Shortage of capital is very real if there is no reliable way to measure 'human capital' or 'social capital'. Typically new markets or new technology.
Certainly an extraordinary man, yes. But contrary to e.g. Einstein’s annus mirabilis, inter-universal geometry is not a few fancy new ideas in existing fields, which would generally allow to have many such ideas in a short time (albeit unlikely), but a completely new, and apparently enormous, field. It’s also not really related to cryptography in any particular way (as far as I can see), so there’s no synthesis between the development of the one and the other.

Ask HN: Would you sign up for a "Hire-a-HN-Hacker" board?
HN has monthly "Who's hiring" posts, but not "Who wants to be poached into a better job" posts.

So, I want to ask: Would you like such a service? Are there any comfortably-employed hackers hanging out at HN who would like something better -- new challenges, work-life balance, kegerator, whatever?

We created this page to test the idea: http://blog.fiveyearitch.com/2013/05/show-hn-unofficial-hire-hn-hacker-board.html (Clickable link below.)

It uses the same embeddable FiveYearItch widget which learning sites use to get better jobs for their students.

Do you like it? Tell me in the comment below and vote in the quiz at the widget page.

If enough HN people sign up, our next step is finding a permanent high-profile home for an unofficial "Hire a HN News Hacker" page.

You are confusing two things: (1) whether notions of purity, body image etc are "horseshit" and (2) whether she is guilty of double standards or not. She clearly is guilty of double standards because she denies men to express their own opinions about what they value in a woman, while at the same time she feels entitled to bloviate about what she values in men (e.g. not being interested in virginity).

In this context it is irrelevant whether "[I] know the men she is talking about" or not.

Fair enough. I wrote that post for a much smaller audience (namely, people already following the llgo project), and certainly didn't expect it to be posted to HN. You're right of course, I should always consider people unfamiliar with the project stumbling across my posts.
A super-capacitor, which may simply still be called a 'battery' (accumulator?) in the grand scheme of things, sure.. oh and I do not deny the chemistry in the chips, just that the entire consumption of it, as it stands right now, is the issue. Once I have a machine, I don't want to have to keep adding things to it: batteries (energy) included.

So I lust for the solar-powered mini-PC's that seem perched out there on the horizon.

This is why I say we must combine the effort to reduce the grid dependence by enduring mobility. Yes, the Planet has a non-uniform distribution of most resources, but the big fat problem with our energy use today is that we stay in place to use it. Indeed, cities do have to consider their location on the planet in the grand scheme of things; the means by which these cities expand/contract/endure/reduce is entirely an energy business.

My feel, is that any cultural event which occurs to reduce the dependence on a long-distance chemical eco-system, is going to be a way out of the mess. If computers can rapidly leap to the point where the Grid connection is made irrelevant, because computing is happening with the energy resources available to us in the near spectra, for free in the sense that we are not stuck in produce/consume loops everywhere, then we will have ourselves a lighter time of the days ahead.

I'd be quite happy to return to 8-bit computing if it was on a small device that harvested my daily jogging routine. Go for a jog, check e-mail. Finally a proper user interface.. ;)

they didn't switch from Erlang because of some language or implementation shortfall, but because after two years no one on staff was proficient in the language. all that tells us is there are more persons familiar with python than erlang.

That's UK though, where large stores like Greggs install new terminals without educating the cashiers, so they don't even know they have them. In my country(Poland) you get contactless terminals everywhere, I actually had people notice that I have a PayWave card and tell me that I can use the contactless terminal instead. But I am sure that the awareness will increase.

Ask HN: Best way to teach programming to a person with Asperger+ADD?
I have a family member who's diagnosed with a mild case of Asperger syndrome combined with Attention deficit disorder (ADD). He is in his late 20ies and have been obsessive about computers his whole life. But for some reason he have never taken on programming.

I would love to teach him the programming craft as I think he'll be very good at it and that this in turn will help him secure a steady job (something that isn't easy with the combination of Asperger and ADD).

I have a small project (a web-app) in mind that I think we could work towards - hopefully something that might even bring in some cash for him if it becomes popular.

I'm a seasoned programmer my self with 15+ years of experience. In the last 8 years I've been programming Ruby and lately Node.js, so I was thinking of teaching him one of these languages. But I'm not sure and was wondering if any of you guys had any suggestions of which language to use and which approach I should use for teaching.

In the end I'm simply looking for advise on how to approach this. Looking forward to your thoughts!

Hello,

Regarding freelancer marketplaces if you think that those favor experienced/cheap freelancers you are a bit wrong, based on your skills I suggest you to brand yourself as a javascript/node expert, don't hesitate to ask more money than other people ( my bids was almost all the time the most expensive in the list ) and target clients that are looking for more than a very cheap freelancer , and there are some advantages to that strategy :
- your high bid give you a boost of trust in the eyes of the client
- your future client will respect you more ( it's psychology , if you pay more for a thing, you will valuate it more )
- you will want to work with people that have this mentality

To make sure that this will work for you, try to post some jobs in your field, study the competition and make sure that your bids ( proposals ) looks much better and you are really doing a good job compared with them .

The problem is, that if you just wire an aerial to a legit payment terminal and point it at people, it will probably pick up more than a single card, in which case, it won't charge anyone. The use case for that is extremely limited.

Have you tried penalizing comments based on the rate of upvotes it's receiving? If that rate exceeds a certain threshold, the comment is pushed down the page because it is likely either a) too short to contribute any real value and/or b) being upvoted more for its emotional effect. And in the case when it's neither of those, this gives other less popular opinions a chance to rise to the top.
