Bountysource.com offers this exact service and integrates heavily with the Github API. You can load up any open GitHub issue and put a bounty on it. The bounty is then paid out to the developer whose PR is merged and closes the issue.

We also have a plugin that committers can install that automatically updates issues with bounty details when they exist (that we don't think clutters the Github UI). Example here: https://github.com/jshint/jshint/issues/28.
yikes. It was a browser extension that uses superfish to inject ads. the extension allows you to disable this feature, but it still pulls in superfish. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/orbvious-interest/...

I removed the extension and the payload is more like 1MB. Still seems hefty but not as much of a concern to me.

I also noticed that content wasn't gzipped. should be a simple matter to add that to nginx.

Please stop spreading misinformation. There are many kinds of depression, and there are two significant camps - little-d depression, which is depressed mood from negative life events (missing the bus up to funerals) and big-d Depression, which has biological elements and is what people mean by 'clinical depression'.
"The parents kept the money they earned, and (quite rationally) chose to spend it on giving the children an economic advantage (that the children, more often than not, could not have earned for themselves.)"

So the children, who could not have earned that money themselves, should get it anyway? Why are they particularly special -- why not redistribute money to other people who have trouble earning their way? Why does the fact that you are someone's descendant someone exempt you from having to earn your way just like everyone else?
Right now, the backlog is infinite, and I'd like to keep it that way if I can.

Having both a transmitter and receiver in the fob used to be a lot more expensive and bulky than having just a transmitter. It isn't really anymore thanks to advances in RF miniturization and integration, but when car keyfobs were first designed it mattered.
I've been with them for 3-4 years in NYC/NJ. I've been nothing but happy, and in Jersey City, they've got better coverage than AT&T and Verizon (anecdotal, but repeatable, data).

Their phone support has always been fantastic for me.

Right before they switched to no-contract mode, I called in to cancel a USB data card I wasn't using much anymore. I have a phone (no contract, unlocked nexus 4) as well as that card, that had finished its contract some time ago. They gave me ~40% off of my entire bill if I agreed to a 2 yr contract.

Then again, when I go out into some parts of the country, I get almost no signal. There was an HN post some time ago with a map of comparative cell-coverage.

> I never understood why all the paranoia with pedo...

Because there's no punishment for being harder on pedophilia than your opponent is, and frequently there is a reward. The safest thing is to avoid the issue entirely, but when it comes up, being seen as stronger (that is, harsher) on the issue is always better than being seen as weaker (less harsh), so the spectrum of acceptable responses ratchets towards the hardest possible end.

I absolutely hate this idea. It's supply and demand, make an app that's amazingly better then anything else on the market and charge more for it. The fact that developers constantly re-skin games/apps and then cry that the app store is ruined because of saturation is bs. If customers are not buying an app that's $5, its not worth $5, no matter how much value you "think" it has.

I suffer from mild clinical depression, and know first-hand that one of the things it does is fuck with how you mentally weigh things. Things of no importance when you're clear of mind take on momentous importance when you're affected. This 'let the ill take their own lives, it's what they want' is lazy and suggests that you're not actually familiar with the issues involved.

I think this is a correct title but an incorrect subtitle.

The problem with spending five dollars on an app for me isn't that it isn't expensive, but rather I've paid five dollars for apps that opened once found to be unusable and never opened again. And I've done it over and over again…

And that's the problem freemium solves in the app store: it's a way of giving me a free trial to see if this app does what I need it to do, before I have to pay. It lets me separate out the lemons from the good stuff.

Maybe in SF.. I'm in Denver, and I've had USPS pickups as late as 6:30pm. Downside was always you couldn't be completely sure at what time they would show up.

I've also heard some UPS Stores will pickup, package, and ship packages for you.. but it's up to the store (they're independently owned).. don't know how widespread that is.

I really don't have anything else to add... It's an interesting idea.. How compelling it is depends on the price I would think.
Interestingly, such a system (e-mail like system which only supports first-party clients and can only send to and receive from other users of the same service) is a common feature of web discussion fora and social networking sites.

I switched from AT&T to T-Mobile because AT&T just pissed me off with mandatory data plans.

T-Mobile's network is nowhere near as good for me as AT&T's was. I hope that it improves. The biggest problem is looking at my phone and seeing "0 bars."

Also, the data plan doesn't work with one of my phones. Ironically, the same phone AT&T forced me to have a data plan for. Maybe it would have never worked.
Your example isn't good, since forum messaging has limited scope, while e-mail is generic. Instant messaging can have limited scope in other scenarios (let's say you chatting with some support representative for some service). It can be generic as well. Here we are discussing generic instant messaging. Therefore it's proper to compare it to generic e-mail. When it's artificially limited by the service walls, it's unacceptable.

such services haven't exactly failed in the market.

Indeed, services like AIM, Skype, Whatsapp and etc. have many users, and are presented as generic instant messaging services, yet they don't allow their users to communicate with others. It's somewhat surprising to me, that people are ready to accept that fact. For some reason they'd see cutting their e-mail off from other servers as unacceptable, but the fact that they are confined within the network of proprietary IM clients doesn't bother them, even though because of that they need to use many clients or protocols to communicate with different networks having an account on each.

Sounds like validation to me.
I was also surprised that "you folks" wasn't on the list. I've used "folks" as a less gendered version of "guys" most of my life, and I thought it was more common than it apparently is.
I don't know how much the excavator was used for overall but there are quite a few times when it ran down water trucks that were actively spraying people. If the protesters were violent towards those in the water truck or were attacking police who weren't violent themselves then they lose the high ground, but destroying property that is used to inflict brutal harm to the people they're meant to protect is justifiable as long as it is done in a way that does not harm life.
Perhaps "fetish" or "fantasy" would have been a better way to describe it.

Plenty of people have fetishes ranging from the distasteful (rape, both from the perspective of the rapist and the victim, cuckolding, etc) to the absolutely bizarre (inflation? transformation? vore? what the fuck, who comes up with this shit?) that they have absolutely no desire to participate in in reality. It exists purely as fantasy for them, never admitted to anyone but strangers on the internet or perhaps a very accepting (or similarly deviant) partner.

Of course this is the case. You don't hear stories about strange men chasing people down with bicycle pumps, do you?

In other words, it's almost as if the average person understands the line between fantasy and reality! What a relief, maybe they aren't all ticking time bombs after all.
I just added two iPhone 5s to my AT&T family plan, and I regret it. They use up their data allotment in about 4 days, even if they never leave the home wifi, so I insist that the cellular data is kept off and only enabled when needed. Meanwhile, the WP8 and Android devices on our plan use only a fraction of their data allotment each month. Is it possible that Apple is responsible for this problem, and should do something about their devices being such data hogs?
As a bay area native, I know no one who has taken BART to SFO. It is either drive oneself, get dropped off, or some form of shuttle.

No issues as far as service goes unless I go someone in the middle of nowhere Indiana.

TMobile isn't perfect, but they don't have me swearing at them every month like AT&T did. The fact that I can bounce anytime is a huge bonus in my opinion.
TMobile in Portland OR, Seattle WA, SF/Bay Area I tested around 16-20MG/s, in other areas (Reno NV, Boise ID) of western US, "4G" runs between 4-8MG/s.

> Froum messaging has limited scope. E-mail is generic.

Making a system closed by boundaries automatically gives it limited scope, but forum messaging isn't any more limited in scope than results from those closed boundaries. Ditto with social network-based closed mail-like messaging.
Ask HN: How much do you make from Adsense?
I know we usually like to talk about SaaS and mobile apps here on HN but I'm sure there's a number of folks earning serious amount of cash from Adsense.

I'm not even going to address your shit attitude and comments and just focus on the libel you're committing. If you're going to throw a fit because you're incapable of having a discussion elevated beyond "Kill everyone who ever looks at a child", at least try not to make false accusations of CP possession against others.

What a stupid, rude thing to do.
Nice tip. It looks like it doesn't persist which comments you have closed. Might be worth a few minutes to get that working, assuming that Chrome extensions let you use local storage or similar.

You can use SkyScanner's Everywhere search, so look from London to "Everywhere" and you will get a list of destinations.

However, this was often the premise of these inspiration sites that didn't work out. Wanderfly has the ability to search by number of days and how much money you had to spend, but it didn't really work.

These things are good in concept, but it gets back to my point, that they need TONS of data to make any meaningful recommendations, and that data doesn't exist yet on travel. In many cases music is easier, as a former classical musician I can attest to this, in music theory there are diminished chords, augmented triads, all different types of existing classifications of different types of sound.

In travel it's a big mess. You need big data solutions to sort through the problems, and just building a pretty interface won't solve it, which is what most of these companies have been doing.
Jesus this thread is vitriolic. I didn't see him slander an Asian person, nor say that he supported it.
I fully agree. This is just a toy you can spend money on so you can buy of your feeling of guilt of not spending enough time with your dog and observing how they are doing.

Or you can do next to nothing with them for a month and then feel really good by doing just a bit more every week for 4 weeks and seeing a nice line going up and get some badges or whatnot for it.

I think a case can be made that if you seriously think about buying one of these, you probably already know you should spend more time and attention on your dog.

The problem I see with your approach is that we risk contributing to the problem. As the story posted above of Jody Plauche shows, and it's far from rare, knowing the event will generate an extreme reaction can contribute to the child not reporting it and/or feeling even worse about what happened to them.

Now, by extreme reaction I mean the "stamp the fuckers out of existence". Personally, I'm in favor of life in prison for convicted violent child rapists. But I don't think it should be treated as a punishment or revenge (including for the problems I mentioned above), but because we simply can't allow that to happen again.

Agreed. Not only is USPS pickup free (as well as others), but depending on the method of shipping (USPS Priority, UPS, FedEx), the packing material could also be free.

Hey Zende,

Cool! You work at Balanced. You should really be proud of your UI that you copied from Stripe but made it uglier. You should also be proud of the Fanwood Font you use in the front page. I'm hoping you can raise some funds and hire a real designer because your inconsistent use of font sizes/type on the front page makes your product look unpolished and unprofessional. Next time, try to innovate rather than copy like Zynga.

Best,

More relative to the topic, what about adults looking at pictures of clothed children that they find attractive (even with clothes on).

Doesn't make it right. It's also astonishingly user-hostile; wasting the user's resources (bandwidth, battery life, cpu) on things they don't care about, without their permission.

On top of that, doing anything economical with the analytics is very rare. It's very difficult to isolate meaningful variables, and you're almost always better off spending that money paying a designer to tackle issues and features that really ought to be obvious to you already ...

... unless you're Zynga, I guess.
