Large amounts of cash are already either non-anonymous or illegal in most of western world - i.e., prove and record your identity along the cash deal, or else.
I like the improved spacing between text objects and I like the font sizing, but I really don't like the Georgia font. I can't stand the way some numbers line up next to each other, eg 38 or 63. I don't like the tail on the f (eg in flag). I don't like the kerning or letter spacing, I think the design of the letters lends poorly to packing them very closely together.

It's my opinion that Georgia has a mediocre readability value to it.
They choosed a molecule that was similar to its diagram, but that's not always the case.

the main difference is that the diagram is 2D, and molecules are usualy 3D.
It's good to start with a generic base. Couple of years down the line, you will find out that there are skills you are particularly good at. At that point of time, you would be making an informed choice of what specialization you should take up. It's better than a picking up say, "Front-end Engineering", sticking with it for 5 years and being average at. Who know's you might have a natural flair for writing system applications?

> Why shouldn't Ayn Rand take medicare and social security?

Because she was against it?

Those things are based in principles. In principle I have the right to state funds for all of my children. Because I am against such subsidies I have decided not to request them, even though the state continues to insist that I should and that it is my right. And even though I pay for other people exercising this right.

For Ayn Rand to rail a life long in many different pamphlets against state run entities only to turn around and to use them when times were a bit tougher seems hypocritical to me.
I have to work 9 hours/day. So if I get out of the bed late I will have to come from office late in the night which I definitely not want.

""It's only &pound;2 - less than your morning latte."

I see this a lot, Netflix being the famous recent example. On the surface it seems reasonable; if you would spend this much on a small cup of coffee, why not spend it on our product instead?

But comparing to my morning latte is actually an incredibly high bar to set. What's valuable to me, as a human, is not the coffee itself but the experience. I spend half the morning looking forward to it, and half the afternoon in the afterglow. There's not just a drink, there's a place to sit and relax, free-flowing internet, pictures on the wall, and a waitress who fakes enough interest in my day that I actually believe it. Heck, at the caf&eacute; I'm writing from now the coffee itself is downright awful. But the moment I sat down I felt an eagerness to write. I've got more done in ten minutes here than in the four hours at home preceding it.

A cup of coffee might not be worth &pound;2. But happiness is, and that's what I'm buying. If you want me to buy your thing for &pound;2, it had better bring this much joy into my life. Otherwise, I'd rather have another cup.

I've found a similar effect when needing to wake up super early to catch a flight. By laying out what I'm going to wear the night before it's much easier to get started when I'm still half-asleep.

Actually, I can see why people want Dot Matrix Printers, http://theoatmeal.com/comics/printers sums it nicely.

Also, CRTs don't have only disadvantages, as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode_ray_tube#Advantages_and... explains.

The problem with faxes is that people continue to (wrongly) assume that you can't spoof them. Especially now that you can fax arbitrary PDF.
That's a really great suggestion. We only work on our own products, but if I go back to client services it's definitely something I'd like to explore :)

You may not want Windows Phone to be the third ecosystem, but it's got the best chance of the players currently in the market to be that third player.

Blackberry isn't going anywhere, and the other choices are simply upstarts with little (if any) commercial backing.

Microsoft has a critical enterprise presence in many large companies, and CIOs like the idea of a mobile platform that ties in elegantly to their other systems. Nokia's brand has a global reach and is helping Windows Phone outsell iPhone in 7 markets and Blackberry in 26 markets ( http://www.zdnet.com/windows-phone-outsells-iphone-in-seven-... ). Windows Phone also has a huge developer base, as it uses the same tools that millions of .NET developers already use. IDK if they will be "the" third ecosystem, but they aren't going to be going away any time soon.

Finally, Windows Phone is well-designed and easy to use, much easier than Android to manage. There's always a market for well-designed, easy things to use, especially with older people.
Betterprivacy can kill flash cookies.

NotScripts is still only mitigating JS and not fully blocking it, at least last time I looked at the source (I also almost puked). Plus it lacks feates like clear click (anti clickjacking), ABE etc.
There's a big difference there: the iPhone has a system-wide rotation lock. It may not lock the way you want, but it's still there.

Windows Phone does not have one. At all. Not even "does not lock the way I want".
Disagree. Users ultimately are put at risk by shipping broken code. Everything after that doesn't increase risk, but it might realise that risk.
It definitely has; I think programming in any language makes me a better programmer in any other language.

However, my concern is applying for jobs relevant to my level of software engineering experience, but requiring X amount of experience in Y. In a situation where I believe my ability is equivalent in Y, is the solution to exaggerate a little on my time spent on Y? Maybe it's not even a big deal in the first place :D

Ask HN: Would you pay for a REST API for checking broken links?
We run a SaaS website that, among other things, checks for broken links and we're thinking about creating a separate website that would provide _ONLY_ a REST API (a service) for checking broken links on any website - something like W3C checker.

Would such an API be useful for you? What features should it have? Would you pay for it? And how much?

Thank you for your opinions and time.
Not necessarily. The article as argues that Brands play a higher role in India. That's why some products succeed wildly in India as opposed to other. Take cars - Honda, Toyota are successful but where are the Peugeots and Citreons? Renault is slowly building but that's nothing compared to what the Japanese brands have.

The tone argument is a distraction, but thank you for pointing out the real problem here: this is an irresponsible way to disclose an issue that hurts people whose only mistake was using MongoDB in production.

It's not hard to find out how to report security issues to 10gen: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/administration/vulnerability-... and the terms they ask for look reasonable to me.
As someone who has used this argument a lot, both here on HN as well as on websites to sell stuff, I feel the need to defend it now. When someone downloads a show or a movie from Netflix or elsewhere, $2 is not a huge investment. You'll be spending upwards of 40 minutes of your life watching this thing and being entertained by it. If a show is worth that kind of time, it's certainly worth $2 (or more) to support the people who made it.

In fact, as a European who regularly gets prevented from doing so, you should count yourself lucky that they allow you to pay for it in the first place. Also, I don't know a lot of places where you can even get a decent latte for $2 anymore.

People seem to sweat investing $2 per download for anything, even if they thoroughly enjoy the product, but they don't even think about spending $10 at the coffee shop. It's that kind of disconnect people are trying to address by invoking the latte thing.
I have too. Then at 8am when I wake up again, I've deleted it and written one that's not full of asshole.
The day Hacker News died
I read this post yesterday - https://news.ycombinator.com/x?fnid=XHl5eHPpZR2yJW0wg7tGWe

Pretty much full of critical comments, unnecssary negative put downs but what is even more staggering is if you read that entire thread is the unbelievable lack of a)common sense displayed by so many and b)the need for people to nit pick every comment and tear it apart.

A good example of this is where a user is threatening the OP (who created a useful site) by saying Apple are going to come after him and potentially take legal action. A whole new conversation is then born re this 'impending legal action'.

HN used to be a great place to get constructive criticism re your project. Now it's a place for people to show off and showboat about how much they think they know. It's sad and what's worse is there is no easy solution.

>I guess the tone may be disturbing, but I hope that the MongoDB team will do the right thing and thank the user for the detailed bug report, fix the issue, and don't focus too much on the noisy part of the message.

Actually, just fixing the bugs after public outrage will no do.

They should focus A LOT on the noisy part of the message.

And feel shame. And then do something about it.

I'm glad for the noisy part myself.
May it forever be that way.

This is a favourite refrain of cheggars to guilt you into signing up. 'It's only the price of a pint a month. Won't you give that up to save starving children?' Well no, that's a false equivalence. Like the article says, this argument doesn't take into account hidden value. For instance, I know I pay over the odds for my gym membership every month and if I payed only when I used it I would save money. But I also know if I didn't have the membership I would spend exactly £0 a month on the gym because I just wouldn't go.
What, we can't be interested in a celebrity studying computer science without being sexist and ageist?

Either I don't understand your comment, or you did not understand mine. I used examples of (fictional) characters portraying impressive industrialists/entrepreneurs. I am not sure why you would call these characters 'kooks'.

I disagree with all of you previous commentators. DRM in the browser already exists and it is called Flash. This is also the reason why Adobe is still supporting Flash and wants to bring it to other platforms other than the browser.

As for Netflix on Linux, they want to make money and will have to make it available if they want Linux customers. Remember that nothing is going to stop Netflix or anybody else from making their media incompatible with your setup, so the keys are already in their hands.

On the other hand demanding freedom and openness from organizations that only want to make money is useless. Just ask for your platform to be supported and pay them when they do. Otherwise no one is going to take a second look at you no matter how loud you shout.
Actually, I didn't intend to discuss Rand. I just wanted to use an example of some characters that she created. I'm surprised people get immediately worked up once Ayn Rand gets mentioned.
A bright IDEA - Talking Android Studio with JetBrains' Dmitry Jemerov
I purchased a car once, because someone told me that I'd spend 15k on coffee in my lifetime. As I drove away I realized I had been had. I don't drink coffee. (This was all a lie, I don't have a car and I drink too much coffee).
Ask HN: How much equity in SaaS partnership?
I run a web development agency and recently was contracted to build an SaaS MVP for a client. The MVP has performed well and validates their idea. The client has a recurring sales stream that appears to have potential to scale up pending additional development work.

They are now interested in partnering with us to provide future development in exchange for part ownership and equity. I'm interested in the proposition, but have never been through this process before (neither has the client). I've talked to an attorney about contract details, but I'm not sure what a "fair" share of equity is.

They bring the idea, about 6 months spent validating and refining and designing it, the initial investment in the MVP, and a sales and marketing team. We bring everything on the tech side. At the moment, sales is done 100% over the phone by their team.

I'm leaning towards an arrangement where we start with a smaller piece of the pie and earn equity based on pre-determined milestones (product features).

At what percentage should I start the negotiation?
short and brilliantly reasoned.
Amazon is good.

I bought Burn Notice on iTunes. Every day, I looked forward to watching the next episode. Each episode was less than a cup of coffee.

I love my coffee, and I love Burn Notice. Possibly in equal measures. Sometimes I watch Burn Notice while drinking a coffee. Sometimes my children and wife join me. Life is often good.

I'm kind of glad that this is your perception. This should be everyone's perception of prison. You should have an extreme necessity to keep your ass out of prison. You should be scared absolutely shitless of prison, so much that you play exactly by the rules to keep yourself from ever going there. Our prison system does a pretty good job at driving this perception home.

Prison is not a rehabilitation center. If it were just a means of keeping folks separate from society, I know plenty of unmotivated individuals that would love to sit around with a bunch of other lazy-asses and be fed 3 meals a day. For free. Don't you?

Prison has to be scary. It has to strike one as the number one place that you do not want to go. It's the other ultimate consequence, along side of death. I can't imagine this world if it wasn't.
Must be a little bit like having Google enter your niche.

Interesting analogy... given that Google is already in this niche (with their prediction API)

"A legal system based on baseball just seems bizarre."

So simple and so horribly true. Criminal justice politics in America is utterly overrun with the crudest and most cynical pandering to simple fear, revulsion and vindictiveness.
Maybe I'm reading over it, but the article you link doesn't actually seem to contain that quote?
Wait till you see his book "A is for Actuary".
Visibility for one. The French prison system is horrible, the British prison system is also pretty bad. Beyond that I'd have to blame the war on drugs and general societal attitudes. The general attitude seems to be that once you have been adjudicated a "bad guy" and are put into the prison population anything that happens to you is fair game.
Is Everyone a Photojournalist?
I just don't understand how such a ridiculous system comes into being, these are people's lives, criminal yes, but people. Or do they just not think like that?

I mean, let's say you get sent to the SHU, I won't go into why because that's probably impossible without introducing circular logic. Now all your "associates", ie everybody who knows you in prison, can also be sent to the SHU. The only way out quickly is for you to "debrief", accuse some other people so they can be sent to the SHU in your place. But, how many people can you genuinely criminalise who aren't known associates? Judging by the fact they read prisoner's diaries, I'd infer surveillance is quite high, so surely the number of unknown criminal associates is pretty low? If that holds, then who do you "debrief" about? Like the article said, it's a catch-22, or at least should be. Instead the guards have a - according to a judge - legal right to make up stories, attribute them to you, forge your signature and incarcerate others on that basis.

It's so abstract it's bizarre. It just seems so dystopian, if you consider the world inside the prison where you're 'innocent' until you commit crime on the inside, that world would be ridiculed if they weren't criminals. Thrown in on false evidence, and the only way out is to give more false evidence. I don't understand how that ends up happening.

No! But Everyone pretend to be one ! Photojournalism is a real job and require experience and talent.
You tried being a solitary person (and decided it's for you; fair enough), not being locked in solitary confinement. Read this article, the difference is staggering.
If the prisons were focused on fixing the root problem in the criminals, as if they were some sort of refuge for edification, conditioning and correction then a large body of the homeless would commit a strategic crime in order to get there so they can at least get three meals and an opportunity to move up in the world from rock-bottom.

Like slavery in the 18th century, prisons are a necessary evil to punish people who do not deserve rehabilitation, correction or edification. Conditions have to be bad enough so that a large segment of the rock-bottom citizens don't commit crime just to get some hope. Therefore the conditions of prison have to be a few steps less desirable than being homeless, penniless, cloth less, hungry and with no hope of getting out of it.

It's my belief that jails are full of criminals because we don't understand the mental illnesses that brought them there. If we can do whole-brain simulation, emulation, and detection in a client, I think studying the body of brains in jail vs the body of brains outside jail will reveal some remarkable findings. It could be their ethical systems were coaxed into the off position, and we may be able to detect this before a person commits crime. Saying: "You better get your ethical centers back on-line, or we'll have to put you under increased surveillance".
O is for outrageous
Could someone explain what's actually so critical here? The way I understand it is that if you can inject custom json contents into the mongodb data, you can cause the pymongo library to crash. This should not be allowed to begin with though - why would you allow anyone to store custom object without any checks? I would compare it to a null reference on a badly formatted SQL query - sure, it's a bug, but why did you allow the user to submit unescaped string to begin with.

Or am I missing something important?
