Hi niico,

This looks a lot like https://www.strongcoin.com but with a dashboard. I will probably add this kind of functionality too. (I own strongcoin)

But to build your app, I recommend you take the code for http://carbonwallet.com which is already available on github and submit a pull request for a dashboard like you have in your post.

CarbonWallet is already available as a chrome application, and the logic is tried and tested.
No. Wait till 9 AM Eastern time. There will be a post soon.

Is the lib tied to the compiler, or are they interchangeable?
http://www.rankique.com/ is a price-tracking site for Amazon. It would probably need a renaming and some SEO-love, as it's currently generating about 5$/month (with zero time spent on it). Was once supposed to evolve into a better product search engine, but I've lost interest a while ago (except for personal use, it really can save a lot of money).
I would also argue that the top row is drawn from a biology viewpoint, while the bottom row is drawn from a neuroscience viewpoint. Perhaps this could also explain some of the differences? For example, if you were interested only in neuroscience, why would you bother to draw the fatty layer around the neuron? It isn't useful to you.

Nobody's hiring in Southern EU countries, because firing is too difficult/expensive there. All the protectionist laws that were meant to keep the employee secure naturally backfired and resulted in a steadily shrinking job market.

Employing someone in EU is like accepting them into a kindergarten, you assume full responsibility for them as if they weren't adults.

Matt Henderson gives an eye-opening first-hand report from Spain here:

Allow the employers to fire easily, they will have no problem hiring again.
I really like this idea but I think your categories are confused and confusing.

First, I was disappointed to see the lack of a 'design' option. Then I wondered whether you could be a designer or a code mentor for each category. But designing for Ruby isn't really different to designing for Python (unless you're designing a framework etc).

HTML/CSS is not design it's coding. Designing for HTML/CSS is certainly a technical design skill.

Similarly iOS & Android present distinct design challenges despite both being 'mobile'. I'd be happy to advise on iOS design but would feel uncomfortable in advising on Android as I'm unsure about the native idioms.

Could I suggest you add design categories for Visual design, Web design, UI/UX design, iOS design, Android design.

You might want to consider copywriting too as it's a tricky and often overlooked part of the creative process (and something that certain YC alumni are naturally very good at).

I don't know about GCC, but Clang (at least on OS X) lets you select the stdandard library with the -stdlib option. So the only question is whether you can use libc++ with GCC.
Haven't you diverted the subject completely? You basically say you see islam as a big threat so people must be stopped doing anything according to it. I am just not in your way of thinking here and debate has become harder and harder.

About the press, I will tell again. Mass media is a business. Some goes with Government, some goes with opposition. People like to read-watch whatever satisfies their own bias/beliefs. Other newspapers you probably like to read (Vatan, Cumhuriyet etc) is no better than examples you gave. Whining does not change this fact.

Also, C'mon. I see plenty of coverage in all newspapers.
I think most folks here know all of the above.

The point you might be overlooking is that the GNU userland was established back in the 80s. Most UNIXes (there were many, and at least a dozen "common" ones) shipped with AT&T or custom or (later) BSD versions of these userland tools.

GNU was brilliant because it was portable to most of those pathologically differentiated UNIXes, and it meant that arguments and behaviors were predictable, after you installed the GNU tools.

Then along came Linux. Of course it used the GNU tools. Everyone used GNU tools. The different part was that the kernel was free and not BSD (which had recently emerged from serious political and licensing drama, and -- if the old story is to be believed -- Linus was completely unaware of).

Soon there were dozens of operating systems sharing that kernel. The important categorization of them is that they were all Linux. And yeah, they ran the GNU userland, like every other non-pathological UNIX that wasn't BSD. Any other choice would have been hugely surprising (and doomed Linux).

So yes, GNU deserves prominence. But "GNU" wasn't omitted from the common naming due to any hostility or ignorance. It was just obvious, and not new or noteworthy in that sense.

It hurt RMS's feelings, and he has been vocal about it. Everyone agrees that GNU deserves much respect, but many people are turned off by the way RMS has reacted to his feelings of disappointment.

It's not fair, but few things in life are, and many people have difficulty sympathizing with RMS.
http://railyo.com - I wanted to create an elance/odesk especially for Rails developers/freelancers! (you may know it from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5083426)

The developer base is growing, ~200 awesome rails developers have registered. Few companies have posted job offers, so it's also generating some revenue, but I'm loosing interest due to the less no of job offers - so basically I'm failing at marketing it to companies/startups.
From bitcoin.org

Bitcoin is not anonymous

Some effort is required in order to protect your privacy with Bitcoin. All Bitcoin transactions are stored publicly and permanently on the network, which means anyone can see the balance and transactions of any Bitcoin address. However, the identity of the owner cannot be associated with their Bitcoin address until personal information is revealed by the owner during an exchange. This is why it is recommended for Bitcoin owners to use many different Bitcoin addresses; in fact, you should create a new one each time you receive money. This is especially important for public uses such as websites. You might also want to consider hiding your computer's IP address with a tool like Tor so that it cannot be logged.
I wrote a document management software for students, DocMan (https://docman.me). The software's ready and awesome, unfortunately I'm not a business guy so I never tried to make money out of it.

Ask HN: Who wrote your website?
While replying to another HN thread I commented that YC companies seem surprisingly good at producing clear, natural, freindly, minimalist understandable text for their websites.

Is there someone at YC who oversees this or is it just a style that has infused the startup community as a whole?
I grew up in North America and now live in Germany, I can tell you what I think it is.

In Germany everyone is required by law to register their address within two weeks of moving. Not registering where you live and accompanying information, etc is illegal. If you move and someone else is now registered where you lived, you are no longer registered. You cannot really do very many things without that piece of paper including getting a SIM card or even renting a car without some difficulty.

So the police identify you and if you do something wrong they can just find you later, it's best if you catch the attention of the police you stop and deal with it. There is a much more relaxed attitude about law enforcement here, it's far more analytical and people generally avoid social disruption for the sake of. Rather than to avoid punishment. So it's social but it's the method of enforcement as well.

This means that the police presence has been cut down substantially, sometimes I can go a month without seeing a police officer.

I could say the same thing about the US by looking at Detroit and New York, for example.

I agree, it seems unlikely that they would create a new panel size all by themselves foregoing the benefit of scale. Perhaps there is another client for that same panel. Perhaps a well-known brand that does not reveal its products until they are ready to hit the market and the product can be presented with much fanfare during a keynote speech.
Agreed. It seems really un-necessary - Redis for the sake of Redis.
I think he's just suggesting that the baby definitely should count as an innocent bystander.
The data channel from GPU to display is most likely still 8-bit. The path from the display controller to the panel, however, is 10-bit (some monitors even use 12). This allows the display controller to apply gamma, contrast, and brightness curves to the incoming data without sacrificing any color resolution. When you make the same adjustments on your PC, the GPU has to dither the result back to 8-bit for transmission.
what is it built it?
My point in general was that it seems you are still just attacking this one issue at a time, instead of realizing "oh, maybe there is a lot of other things I don't know", and asking for semi-professional help from someone.

By doing this, you make the problem worse, not better.

I'm not suggesting you hire a lawyer, there are actually plenty of places with qualified people often willing to help you figure out what issues you will hit.
In the US this means the fleeing are accused of murder, right?
chunks <- Streams.toList i
let feed = decode (BL.fromChunks chunks) :: Maybe Feed

You lose streaming here; this reads the entire response body into memory before sending it to Aeson to decode. Which is a shame since both Aeson and http-steams otherwise seem able to stream arbitrarily large content through without buffering lots of it in memory. (I have not tested how well Aeson manages this; just looking at the types!) This could be used to eg, fold an operation over the list of earthquakes, no matter how long the list becomes.

Fixing this is probably beyond the scope of a simple walkthrough. I suspect it could be managed using unsafeInterleaveIO to translate between the io-streams chunks and the lazy bytestring chunks. Might be a nice thing to ask the io-streams developers to add. (Dealing with resource finalization could make it tricky though.)

On a less esoteric note, fetchQuakes would be improved by using withConnection. This would make it shorter, and ensures the stream is closed if there's an error.

Hm, curious. In Germany (and Austria, wherefrom I got my N9), it is perfectly fine to buy a phone. What you cannot do (legally) is buy a SIM card without ID – however, most shops just require you to fill in some form and don’t bother checking any form of ID.
There isn't a EU wide police or justice system. It's all done at the national level. Policing standards can vary widely around countries.

To be clear: This is a random googler's open source project, not anything official from Google.

The only reason it's part of the Google org is so that they didn't have to pay for a private project for staging.

Normally, in situations like this, they are supposed to have a disclaimer in the README that points out it's not official google anything (to avoid exactly the confusion that seems to have occurred here).
That the risk of capture is the greatest deterrent to crime, to start? That the culprits being chased are often highly violent criminals who they don't want disappearing into the social noise? In an urban environment the number of branching permutations is enormous, so they can't simply radio ahead at the outset, and "chasing" is often simply keeping an eye on the target while supporting units move in.

There are several comments throughout this story about how police in [various enlightened areas] no longer do chases. It usually isn't so straightforward, otherwise the world's bank robbers and kidnappers will be on their way over, idling car at the standby.

What most police forces throughout the world have stopped doing is chases for trivial things (where the single most serious crime committed is not stopping for police), which has historically led to everyday people panicking when the police turn on the lights after they roll through a stop sign, etc. Police also try to resort to helicopters sooner, and abandon the chase if it's 2pm in a school zone, etc. However the nature of law enforcement means that chases still happen for serious incidents, and they happen around the world, some questionable accuracy claims in comments notwithstanding.

This is a terrible tragedy and it's unfortunate that this armchair speculation has taken the lead so quickly.
What is a ballpark on something like this? Do I need tens of thousands or millions?
>However crashes do seem to be happen after the chase has ended rather too regularly - about 30 seconds later.

I had always assumed this was because it was standard practice to report that they had stopped chasing whenever the crashes occur. That's the rules so that's what you report.
Everybody I know who's gone to America has just ended up buying a larger car with a bigger engine to compensate for the prices. (By European standards, driving-related articles seem to be very cheap in America; obviously fuel is the most famous example, but new cars are inexpensive too.) So I'm sure their total car-related expenditure is about the same.
Neekanee (http://www.neekanee.com) - it's a job search engine that scrapes jobs directly from company websites. Everything is written in Python/Django.

While I agree that GNU software makes up an important part of a Linux system, I do not see a reason to include it in the name – doing so with every important part of my computer would result in the short and easily pronounceable name Opera/Pidgin/Claws-Mail/Xfce/Debian GNU/Linux. Or something like that.

So I really think that it is perfectly fine to name a system by it’s lowest possible encapsulated unit of software (kernel). In my case, this is Linux.
It would be interesting to ask people to draw a resistor. Ignorant savages would draw a sketch of the physical shape minus all useful details (maybe with random color bands in no particular pattern except maybe because they look pleasing; maybe a new palette too); artists would draw something fairly realistic, and engineers would draw a schematic symbol.

Rob Walling writes about this in Start Small, Stay Small ( http://www.startupbook.net/ ), and I think he mentions a range of 5x - 36x monthly revenue. It's dependent a lot on how automated and easy to maintain the site is, and how high the quality of traffic and revenue is.

State taxes often treat investment and wage income the same; particularly in California.

Formerly 15% + 0% (if you lived in WA) capital gains one year is now 20% + 3.8% + 14.3% (if you moved to California in 2013). That's a pretty big difference for the same gain.
Max Headroom and the Strange World of Pseudo-CGI
He's just a guy with his own opinions; obviously we won't all agree. The main disapproval I see (sometimes dressed as disappointment) is that he isn't at all conventional (and that includes living up to some kind of societal expectation around leadership).

Would it be as awesome? Probably not.
I use perl for this as well.

perl -e 'chdir "/var/session" or die; opendir D, ".";
while ($f = readdir D) { unlink $f }'

It is very efficient memory-wise compared to the other options as well as being much faster.
It is also easy to apply filters as you would with -mtime or such in find, just change the end statement to:

{ if (-M $f > 30) {unlink $f} }

to affect files modified more than 30 days ago.

That said, for opening links, Google's devised [1] for Chrome-ish on iOS to abstract everything, but I believe (as an Android user and developer myself) that all it takes is a

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:targetURL];

where targetURL is an NSUrl.

Chrome on iOS even allows you to specify a callback URL to return to.
