Ask HN: Is HN moving to CloudFlare? 
Could we get IPv6 support? It's one click to the future (supposedly).

http://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-cloudflares-automatic-ipv6-gatewa

As a tinfoil aside, is anyone else worried that popularity of CloudFlare makes it easier to track Internet users and their browsing habits? And you can block Google Analytics, third party cookies, forge referrals... but it would be hard to work around CloudFlare in any systematic way.
If you zoom it, it appears somewhat dotted/dashed. Maybe for ‘planned’/‘currently being built’?
When that language is javascript, yes.
I had look at this history and someone marked the roads as closed some time last night. The bridge itself was later removed by another user. Later still, another user (from Turkey) seems to have completely replaced everything back to normal for some reason. We need a local user to make the correct changes and make sure they're kept that way.

This reads like an Anton Ego review from Ratatouille before the rat hit him with the thing he could never see coming in a million years.

Seriously, read it in Anton Ego's voice. It's fantastic.

Obviously completely short-sighted and narrow minded, as is expected from the WSJ. Move along, nothing to see here.
I'm really picky about the way my photos are presented and right now flickr looks cleaner to me than G+ photos. Flickr puts the photos at the forefront and I also like the photostream idea in general.

For me though it feels really hard to switch everything over to Flickr bc there are other issues. For example, with Google I get auto backup of photos taken on my phone which, as we all know, is accounting for a greater and greater percentage of total pics taken.

So that's kind of a big deal to me.

Anyhow, assuming I wanted to transfer ALL of my photos from G+ to Flickr, how the hell would I go about doing that?!
They just asked a question. There is no need to be snarky, and your suggestion wouldn't even have answered their question.
It doesn't say anything. Every other news source will report it. Unlike this article, they won't restrict themselves to quotations from people employed by the BBC or in the cabinet.
Perhaps a slight bit of irony there that the TLA of "Fabric Archive Database" is FAD.

A lot of patients need to go for visits with doctors at the hospital or in an associated complex. Many of those patients don't need special medical transport, or at the very least could go with BLS, but there are places where ALS gets used for everything and thus is very expensive. Medicare patients don't see this, but the reimbursement from Medicare to EMS is very small, too. If you have a substantial elderly or sick population, it can be a real problem.

Those are great ideas! I'd be up for working on those. So you're actually thinking to replace the flywheel of an engine instead of refitting the brakes? (I'll put my heatpump comment in a separate comment)
Well, they got you to leave.

(For the record, I feel bad saying this... but I'm also just returning snark with snark, so... oh well.)
Violence is 100% caused by "people being asshats to each other" though.

There may be complicated motivations or factors involved, but without at least one person being an "asshat" in any interaction between multiple human beings, you don't get violence.
Yes, when you go this route, it's very complicated. But good, user friendly frameworks have been built on top of these foundations, and those should be used.
Ask HN: The new job I started is severely underpaying me. What can I do?
I just started a new job in the midwest USA with a B2B web software firm (~100 people, ~1/3 developers) as a Front-end Web Developer a week and a half ago. Stupidly, I gave them a salary number ($45k) first, and gave them an absolute minimum. They exceeded it ($47k), and I accepted without negotiations.

Fast forward to yesterday, and I find out they are still looking to hire another front-end dev with the same experience and skills as me. That night, I find a job posting offering $75k-90k, and confirm with the person who posted it that it is indeed the company that is paying me half of that.

How can I start earning what I'm worth? Should I go to the founder and demand more with that posting as a reason? Should I go to my direct supervisor and ask him? Should I buckle down and accept my low earnings until my yearly raise evaluation and ask for an 80% raise then?
Most houses in hot places like Florida have swimming pools. You could really solve two problems right there, and you already have the water "tank". You pump the swimming pool water through the house to cool it, and you're also heating your pool. I wonder if anyone has tried to build that?
Agreed. I frequent one all the time but I also buy plenty, tip well, and chat up the baristas.

In turn, they _like_ having me around. I've sold old hardware to one, gotten novel draft feedback from another, and have plans for a weekly anime get-together with another. That, and I even get plenty of free drinks!
The unemployed part was of my own devising :) I have plenty saved up and wanted to take some time away from working on other peoples projects to focus on my own. I've got enough to cover me for 12 - 18 months if I so desire.
A few more data points: MacBook Air, Core i5, dual core with hyperthreading.

Chrome 27: 1 or 2 cores. Chrome 26 gave me 3 a few times.

Firefox 21: 8-16 cores. One times out of four, the test goes up to testing 32 cores, but the CPU activity drops abruptly, and the test hangs (the button text remains a greyed out "Running").

Safari 6.04: 1 core. Rarely two.
The problem is that when the base language has such limitatios and funky semantics, how should languages which target that be able to deal with that in 1) standard 2) predictable 3) efficient way?

This is the reason CPU instruction set architectures are so simplistic and "low level" and don't really do things for you -- because if they did, targetting such a CPU would be a major pain with all inefficiencies due to workarounds due to funky and incompatible features.
Intelligence linked to ability to ignore distractions
The fact that Node.js, Javascript on the server, is gaining so much popularity in the developer community means that it has benefits beyond its universality in the browser.

The fact that Node.js is becoming popular is simply a symptom of having a ridiculously large ecosystem of developers, and not much else.
You need an editor, sir! Your true meaning is lost. Let me rewrite that for you.

I don't like Tesla. A Tesla car isn't practical for me, so by extension it's not practical for most. Massive popularity and interest in buying them proves nothing about the future because I don't have one. Other electric cars failed after receiving public support, and therefore Tesla will fail. Even though nobody claims free charging is sustainable, I claim that non-existent claim will lead to failure, because it's impossible to change our current electrical infrastructure. Ever. And a decade into the future? That's crazy! We need to deal with what's in front of us for the next ten minutes! And after that, we'll do it again!
SF ends up with drug addicts/mentally ill from an area of maybe 30-50mm people, due to what are perceived (correctly) as more welcoming city services, culture, etc. Add to that the war on drugs and weird issues with medical care for the poor (medi-cal), lots of Vietnam era veterans, etc., and one of the most dysfunctional city/county governments I've ever seen. (Detroit and New Orleans are worse, but those cities are poor; SF is rich).
It is fascinating to step back and realize that this WSJ article is indicative of the fact that Tesla has yet to 'cross the chasm'. I can't wait to get a Tesla and most of my friends are of the same mind, but we are clearly still among the minority. While most of us associated with the tech world are naturally supportive of Elon Musk and cheering him on with force, we must still be the minority. Man...I'm such an early adopter! What a shameful thing to be! (Read strong tone of sarcasm)

The underlying principle of the article seems to be one of anti-subsidy, a position which is imminently defensible in light of many problematic government subsidies. Tesla still has a lot to prove. That being said, the author failed to set up a balanced argument since he did not mention the fact that most long-lasting companies have been subsidized by the government at one time or another in their history and many at their infancy.

Did I mention that Elon Musk is freaking awesome!!!
That's essentially where he's going with it, noting that you can even leave off the "=0". But as others here point out there's some question as to how many linkers will actually produce an executable image from that source.
I agree strongly with ebbv and further take issue with a point in the article:

"Taxpayers pay first so Tesla can build the cars and again to help the wealthy buy them."

It turns out that anyone subject to AMT (my guess is a substantial portion of Tesla buyers) does not in fact qualify for the federal tax credit.
>Gun violence is caused, first and foremost, by the presence of a gun.

But violence is caused, first and foremost, by people being asshats to each other. A gun is just a tool a violent person may use to be violent. In the absence of a gun, they may use a knife, a baseball bat, a crowbar, a fist, a pencil, a screwdriver, a laptop, a bucket full of sardines, etc.

Yeah, I thought this was settled with the Pentagon Papers. But apparently everyone changed their mind after Wikileaks, and without court oversight.

Can Fox News sue here? It seems like calling him a co-conspirator (aka journalist) just to get the search warrant with no plans to charge him is super fishy.

And even more puzzling than Holder's actions, why isn't Fox News trumpeting this instead of Benghazi?
> A rare disease is defined as any condition affecting fewer than 200,000 patients in the United States. More than 7,000 such diseases exist, afflicting a total of 25 million to 30 million Americans.

Can that really be true? 1 in 10 Americans has a rare disease?
I welcome a similar analysis of oil companies by the WSJ. And banks. And Wall Street generally.

I suspect I will die waiting for that one.

Yeah, so when a script calculates a probability that you're violating some TOS, your whole access to Google is shut down, including GMail, including GDrive, not just that one individual service for which there's a 70% probability of a TOS violation - and then there won't be somebody on the phone you could talk to, because Google is too busy and can't possibly be offering any kind of support, you ungrateful bastard.

I actually know the owner of a business that is using Blogger and Google Apps and at some point freaking YouTube asked for her date of birth, she then selected the wrong year and Google cut her access to GMail, not to mention that it took their blog offline. She then called me desperatly to do something about it. Fortunately they allow validation of birth date by credit card now, but I remember some point not so long ago, where this wasn't the case.

So yeah, who wouldn't want that?
I bought a tablet through T-Mobile with a two year contract at $50 a month. Bad idea, I know. I ended up regretting the monthly plan due to using it primarily at home on a wifi.

After 8 months, I luckily found out that T-Mobile was changing their pricing based on roaming charges. I called them to ask for a cancellation with no ETF. I explained to them that the change of terms is a cost change to how I use the tablet. Through a story of "I use this tablet in remote areas for work...", I was able to get it cancelled. It took two phone calls to make it happen, but I soon found out many others tried but failed to take this approach.
Adjust their methods, I suggest that this wasn't about having journalist adjust their methods but to intimidate anyone in government from speaking out without approval. Approved leaks, like the recent IRS about targeting specific groups is an example of what is allowed. The leaks to this Fox reporter and the not so long ago prosecution of Thomas Drake are all about silencing people who know whats wrong from talking because now they will get the reporter to reveal their sources directly or indirectly.
Type-casting is a nightmare in all languages that utilize duck-typing, both implicit and explicit type-casting causes trouble in unexpected ways.
Nothing they do makes any sense. The ruling elite live in a different world from us commoners. Holder probably thought people would view him as a hero or something.
Report: Google To Bid For Waze — To Shut It Down?
The experience sucks beyond compare, always has, and blaming the user isn't going to solve that.

You have to download a separate plugin with stupid ads in it. If your version is wrong, it won't work or it won't work right. A number of things won't work unless you use the one from Oracle. If you are lucky, a little tray reminder obtrusively harasses you every few weeks to update to a new version. If you don't, you have to worry about unpatched vulnerabilities.
Now you come across a page with an applet in it. This applet stuck inside a little rectangle on the page takes a few seconds to kick off at all. Most of the time it looks terrible once it's up. It isn't at all uncommon that it crashes. Many people have experienced this bringing down the browser or even hanging the computer, which is especially awesome when you didn't even ask for the thing to run.

This isn't a matter of the users being stupid and not knowing what's good. This isn't good. It has never been good.
The problem is that this is capitalism, or perhaps better expressed : an auction. There is a bubble if and only if most people believe there is a bubble. There is no bubble if most people don't believe there is one.

Right now I'd say there definitely isn't one and house prices will rise for a while, even if prices are really at bubble levels. However, the economy is not doing well, so people will notice they can't actually buy "non-"bubble priced houses, and Bernanke can only hold back public opinion for so long.
Class of 2013: You Can’t Make a Living Just by Solving Problems
I think they would probably need to start from niche and build up scale that way. It's probably much more risky to go full out scale to try and hit the mass market. Of course, I do agree that free charging is not sustainable and this project, like you pointed out, has infrastructure hurdles that we won't begin to see mass adoption until years into the future. But I don't know what better way you could try and force the issue of developing electric vehicles for the mass market other than beginning with a niche market.

I think you read the first sentence of my comment and then the note at the end and then no other part of it.
There's a difference. You know very little about me and where I come from and why I see things the way I do. Do I bring a lot of negativity into these discussions? Sure, but that's needed because I don't want thousands of people to repeat mistakes that I did. If bringing a realistic or even slightly pessimistic tone to this often out-of-touch startup discussion is the cost to prevent a thousand young kids from wrecking their careers, then good.

However, I've articulated deep managerial problems with Google that the company refuses to solve, and many of those can be fixed easily and for free.

So there's no comparison between what I say and what you said.

That means you kill two people every magazine. That's not so bad. This isn't really an issue--a properly aimed revolver would be more dangerous.

Remember, gun control means hitting your target.
That's not "the real issue" here either. Such a capacity has a negligible impact on crime, let alone gun crime.

Look Who’s Crowdfunding Now
Taxpayers still took a huge downside risk with the loan to Tesla, and that loan has to be measured against the overall government loan program's losses, which is a massive failure costing billions.
Criticisms of Tesla (both posts and comments) seem to draw an unwarranted level of ire on HN. I think its the combination of Elon Musk's personality, the increasing inevitability of the ubiquity of electric cars, and the tendency to use Tesla v. <other carmakers> as an underdog allegory (Lord knows how many times "Tesla" and "disrupt" appear in the same sentence.)

A lot of the comments on this article seem needlessly ad hominem, calling the author a "whiner" and "wicked." While I don't see eye-to-eye with every point the author makes, I think the underlying argument -- that a lot of the praise of Tesla's results so far has been under the assumption that its purely the car responsible for these profits. (The crudely phrased press release about Tesla paying back loans "before any other US manufacturer" certainly doesn't help the notion that Tesla is loosely playing the marketing game.)

It's entirely possible to laud Musk and Tesla's work so far while also being cognizant that, hey, the company isn't sterling and there's still a lot of work to be done before we consider the Tesla a success.

I notice most of your posts lately have a very negative tone. I don't think the negativity is really justified, given how many opportunities there are for programmers. Life isn't just good for programmers, it's also getting better every day. We are probably living in the golden age of internet startups, where small 3 man shops can effectively compete with large enterprises. This won't be true forever, but it's true today.

If you don't have any money (and let's face it, most of us don't), you can still start a startup. You can work on your project in evenings and nights. Or you save money and quit your job for 8 months or so. Or you can work part time on your startup and do part-time contracting work on the side.

Starting a software startup is so much easier than opening a bar or a restaurant or a jeans shop it's not even funny. People put their life savings in ordinary businesses like these every day, and more often than not they get utterly crushed by reality. A restaurant without customers can't afford to keep the doors open for long. Buying a 30k kitchen and hiring 5 people before the first customer has walked through the door is scary. We programmers in contrast can just pivot until we find something people are willing to pay for. We can build half a product and use server analytics to figure out which direction is best. We have unique insights in our users and customers and the press loves to write about anything that involves startups. There are so many things subtly working in our favor!

Doing a startup isn't easy. But nobody is entitled to an easy road to guaranteed riches. But doing a startup is possible even if you're broke, don't have any connections and are only a mediocre programmer or business person.

Of course the VC money game is rigged to an extent. So what. If you have traction you have leverage and if you have leverage you'll still get a good deal. And if you have paying customers you may not even need VC money. These are, in the big scheme of things, not things to get terribly upset about.
It's a well researched article, but I hate how the author did his best to frame this as some controversy of "who invented what first". Molina and Neukirchen both explicitly refuse to blame or resent Karp in any way, despite given repeated opportunities.

One of the best things about the Internet is it is a medium that encourages sharing and reinvention of ideas. Google is "just" an iteration on Altavista. Hacker News is "just" a subreddit. Twitter is "just" a .plan file. But of course that misses all the years of innovation, scaling, and polish. The way Tumblr drew inspiration from a couple of personal blogs is to be praised, not looked askance at.

I agree. I'm pretty sure Obama does this to create a chilling effect for whistleblowers more than anything else, which means he values government secrecy very highly and it's the exact opposite of what he promised.
