The government should, in addition to this teenager, put Epik High, a korean hip-hop group, into jail as well.

Take a look at these incinerating words, I find them very threatening:

"my flow! I'm a mother fckin criminal!
my flow! on your TV and radio!
my flow! come and check out my video!
here we go
everybody say fck the president!
my flow! I'm a mother fckin criminal!
my flow! on your TV and radio!
my flow! come and check out my video!
everybody say fck the government!"
I don't consider closed-source software to be inherently evil. I do consider openness, transparency, et al to be inherently good, however, as these things are beneficial to the world at large. That doesn't mean that all alternatives are instantly evil or that openness is the One True Path.

I do consider a shift toward less openness to be inherently less good. I don't consider Google to suddenly be this evil company.

Google is, however, to be a very powerful company (and therefore a very dangerous company by nature), and a moral regression in policy is certainly an unnerving thing to see. I love a lot of things Google has done. I love a lot of their products, projects, practices, etc. I just can't consider Google to be a safe place.
makes sense if you prefer dynamic languages since it adds least friction.
God says...

10:39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of
their hand, 10:40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place
where John at first baptized; and there he abode.

10:41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but
all things that John spake of this man were true.

10:42 And many believed on him there.

11:1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town
of Mary and her sister Martha.

11:2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and
wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) 11:3
Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom
thou lovest is sick.

That's absolutely disgusting. The media should be ashamed of themselves for twisting the words of a kid like that.

And a good thing! Everything was shit in 1964. Cars, computers, retail logistics, cancer treatments, surgical techniques, metallurgy, airplanes, the telephone network, movies, animation, TV, air conditioning, the relative strength of the USSR: all shit.

It all needed to be burned to the ground to get the wonders we live with today. If Grandma Retard's pass-book account had to go with it, so be it. If the deflationists had their way, we'd still be using stable, value-preserved stone knives and bear skins.

Here is what I think about Dart: it is huge and is another programming planet that you can't reuse what you already have (like thousands of libraries in NPM).

And the most important part; it looks boring. the articles about it look also are very boring.
Milton Friedman wasn't a Keynesian, and yet he advocated monetarism, which is essentially the same as inflation targeting, except instead of keeping inflation constant, you keep the rate of increase of the money supply constant.

In academic economics, even Keynes never advocated permanently distorting the economy towards consumption and away from spending. Of course people who like government spending for other reasons will incorrectly cite Keynes to justify their position.

Real interest rates determine the saving vs consumption decision, not inflation.

See here for the arguments that real economists use to justify a 2% inflation rate

I really really REALLY love pixelapse. It's completely changed the way I work with my clients.

I spend half the year in NYC, half the year in Vietnam. Working from Vietnam has always been a little painful because of internet connectivity and one particular client's insistance of storing designs for apps internally on their servers. This would require me to VPN out of Vietnam and then ReadyNAS into their servers and then hunt through a maze of folders for the files I need. Slooooow.

Pixelapse has insured that I've always got the latest stuff on my laptop, plus providing feedback/questions on specific designs and visually seeing changes has been a big boon.

The one thing I would like to see change is their pricing structure. I wish you could add collaborators ala carte. The cap on collaborators at 9 for $150 a month is little too much. I will just create one account for an entire company and everyone will share that to get around it. I'd rather not do that. So PLEASE PLEASE add ala carte collaborators or something that makes more sense.
> Replacing Dropbox doesn't seem practical right now. Owncloud is buggy, Sparkleshare seems like a "when you've got a hammer, everything's a nail" kind of solution, and I haven't tried Seafile yet because the configuration is intimidating and I haven't really heard anything about it.

git-annex-assistant provides a friendly Dropbox replacement, with a web-based GUI and a magically synced/shared folder. Supports Linux, Android, and (very early stages) Windows and OS X.

> Rackspace has great hosted email for $1/inbox/month. Eventually I want to bite the bullet and host my own mail server (I still have nightmares from when I self-hosted email a few years ago) but in the meantime I've really liked Rackspace.

I currently use Gandi's mail servers, which you get free when you have a domain through them. I run my own IMAP server and move the mail to it with getmail, but I let Gandi handle SMTP receipt and delivery.
Shame so many anti MS people on HN that this gets flagged off the front page so quick :/

I like what I see in the article, but... I'm kinda put off by the seemingly high barrier of entry. All the tools they show off are great once you've started, but I don't want to install all that just to try a slightly more advanced "hello world" sample.

It's really too bad there isn't an equivalent of play.golang.org for Dart. I would've given it a try right now if the barrier of entry were lower, and perhaps I'd be pleasantly surprised enough to keep using it.

Also, is it possible to generate and execute Dart code within Dart (the way it is in dynamic languages like JS) without recompiling?
Still looks like too much needless stuff going on, so I still prefer feedly.com as my Google Reader replacement
Deflation may prevent Bitcoin from replacing all government fiat currencies, but I don't think it has much impact on Bitcoin becoming a popular form of payments / transfer / store of wealth.

Some Bitcoin proponents would be disappointed by that prospect, but I think it would still be a big win.

It likely means several orders of magnitude difference in price, but in either case the price would go up significantly.
I agree with all points, however, if your mission is to teach people, vitriol is the straightest way to not teaching them shit in 99.9999% of cases.

A request for those who might go on the Soylent diet, starting in july (a month before the estimated shipping date), during your Soylent diet:

1. Record your current height
2. Record daily: weight + timestamp, sleep start time, sleep stop time,
food consumption (http://www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate/ perhaps to help
or alternatives), exercise,
and how you feel physically (tired, energetic, sleepy...).
3. Blog about your experience and contribute the data to science.

No point in bashing or hyping this up, we'll have some data points in a few months.

Disclaimer: I will not be participating in this experiment, but am interested in the results. =D

Interesting blog. The website is also pretty designed too.
His comments section is basically an echo chamber. Sounds familiar...
This sounds to me like nothing more than an abuse of power by a DA. Those are much more common than people realize.

As an example, in a recent case that I'm familiar with in Oregon, a man that I personally know was unjustly charged with 4 criminal charges that the DA knew were unjustified. He fought. He won. He now has, in addition to a crushing legal bill, a bill for the time he spent locked up in prison on trumped up charges?

Why did this happen? Various reasons. When bf unexpectedly comes home to find his gf having sex with the husband of the house that they're house surfing at, the upset bf can get the gf to make up a rape case. (The guy shouldn't have been having the affair, but it wasn't rape.) When said husband is a Native American in a rural area, the DA knows that given racism and the fact that the guy was doing something dislikable, there is a reasonable chance of winning no matter what the facts happen to be.

But in my opinion the biggest single factor is that the DA in question is an investor in the private jail to which he sends people. When the DA can use the powers of the state to send people to prison, and PERSONALLY PROFITS from this, abuse of power is only to be expected. And even when the DA loses - as in this case - the prison still gets paid. And if the bill doesn't get paid, care to guess whether a hard line will be taken...?

I have no idea how widespread this type of conflict of interest is. I suspect that it is much more widespread than most people think (because the people who run private jails are well aware that getting the DA on board generates profits). But as long as it mostly impacts poor people that nobody cares about, it won't be a political issue.

I agree at the moment. I do have Kinect and had high hopes for the voice commands, but as yet they just take too long to register. However, if it's as good as today's demo implied then we'll be pretty close to, if not at, the level that makes it the simplest (not cheapest) option.

> No doubt if there's a good way to do voice control on a TV, Apple's going to figure it out before Microsoft does.

I don't have the same blind faith. Apple hasn't put themselves far enough in the living room for me to wait for them. Sure, they got Apple TV, but that seems like barely a side project for them. It's not as good as the cheaper and more versatile Roku, and it's not as bold in thinking as the Xbox One (or even the Xbox 360).

Focus On What Matters Or Sleep Alone

Just because you might think what you're adding (or anyone for that matter) is meaningful doesn't mean everyone else does.

I don't know how long you've been lurking on HN before registering, but your account isn't very old and you're suggesting that everything has gone to shit, people should be hellbanned and the forum should be invite-only.

To be honest it's just a matter of perspective and these meta discussions aren't very interesting.
I was delaying moving off of Google Reader since nothing else really seemed better (and newsblur was super slow around the announcement). I'm glad I waited -- the redesigned NewsBlur looks awesome, and I'll probably stick with it.
IIRC, he was responsible about the hole by telling the company first and trying to work with them to get it fixed. He released the info after they were unresponsive. I think that's proper way to handle that.

But this thing with Yahoo isn't really the same. One is a security breach while the other is trying to abuse a service.

Yes, and that is a physical system which has very clear delineated results. Hypothesis: Might burn down houses. Did any houses burn down over a 5 year period? Y/N?

As I posted in the other thread, the key difference between the old ebook sales page and the new one (for both Sacha and Nathan) is the fact they no longer focused on selling an ebook. They are basically selling a "course" with videos,
resources, etc in addition to the book.

This combined package and the new sales pitch basically results in a new product. One that provides a much better value-justification to the user for the high price.

This is about product repositioning as much as it is about changing pricing.

Iosif, I appreciate your strong opinions about inflation. I'm sure Lenin would be proud [1]. However, you're too into the politics of it. We in HN should try to do some rational armchair economics, try to see the inflation/deflation debate as about tradeoffs, not principles of morality. "Government steals through insidious inflation!". "Rent seekers fatten when deflation happens!". Yeah, very useful.

First, the Keynesian/Monetarist Block does emphatically not claim that inflation is good, since last time I checked ethics was not a sub-field of economics. Inflation is a tool.

Second, deflation really is a big deal. Unless you're ready to argue that debt-deflation does not exist. Please spare us from such "deep" arguments such as found on the Bitcoin Wiki [2].

Third, the main problem of Bitcoin is not that it is deflationary, because it's not. Well, it is now, but not necessarily forever. The problem is that it imposes, through its fixed supply, a senseless corset on economic growth. It's neither central planning, which would have at least the possibility of being a somewhat enlightened planning, nor a rigorous market mechanism, that responds to shocks on the economy. It's just fixed because Satoshi said so. This lack of rigor in economic thought is what's really problematic in Bitcoin.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflationism#Political_debate

[2] https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Deflationary_spiral . A sample from the well of deepness: "The key difference is that people don't foresee a fixed cost (unit amount) that they must pay with Bitcoin". Yes, they do, or will when lending in Bitcoins begins. It's called the principal. You should laugh now.

My favorite implementation of this would be simply you have a list of users whose posts you never see. Like selective hellbanning -- it doesn't affect anything other than what you yourself percieve when logged in, but it also doesn't stop them from being able to communicate with everyone else.

I don't think there's any reason to necessarily link it to banning or something, though. Just make it like a per-account killfile. in fact maybe you could even add regexes to filter out phrases or urls as well.
I'm not sure how you can compete with the competition, which is focusing on tablets & mobile at this point. I don't use any social news 'apps' (I won't consider HN or Reddit an app but a destination) on the web, I either go directly to a blog or use Twitter.

On mobile I use Prismatic which fixes this problem aptly and Flipboard (for visuals).
> Untyped

Assembly language is untyped. Dynamic typing is not the same thing.
Clicking on the logo should take you to the homepage already. We might've missed it somewhere though; could you point me to it?
Optionally specifying types which are otherwise inferred is not the same as optional typing. Haskell expressions always have a type. Often the compiler is smart enough to figure out what it is without you explicitly telling it, but it still has a type. Haskell typed holes still doesn't allow you to escape from the type system, it's more a way of saying "Here I am in the middle of an expression and I'm lost, could you tell me what fits here in your opinion Mr. Compiler?" It still has a type, it is not a way that you can just feed the compiler type-gibberish and move on.

In Dart, the types appear to be little more than advisory documentation.

I don't know Lisp; what happens to your add3 if you pass a thing that can't be added to 3? Does it crash at some sort of 'type checking phase' (whenever that may be) or only when it finally discovers it can't do the addition, essentially ignoring the type declaration? (Or both and neither, depending on what exact Lisp and macro set you're using, which is my guess.)

Good article. I still think a free tier can be beneficial for most SaaS products. At Eventbrite we shared space with Yammer and Zendesk, the three of us with free tiers (Zendesk $20/year "donation") and really making it work. The point is NOT to implement limits but instead to implement features that make sense for those able to pay. For many SaaS services, that's admin tools to manage users. The reality is that there are millions of companies out there with fixed costs well less than $20k per month (don't forget there are non-tech startup companies, too).

It cannot be overstated that it really is very easy to raise prices. It's pretty much impossible to make a pricing mistake in the beginning because for growing companies, the initial users will only amount to a fraction of total users over time.
