The killing of journalists seeking to document or expose allegations of state-organised murder has accompanied every dirty war against a civilian population. Since the US occupation of Iraq began, dozens of reporters, cameramen and other media workers have been killed by American-led forces in suspicious circumstances that were never independently investigated.

Wouldn't it be harder to maintain relays and moving gears than some electronics equipment for which maintenance checks only involve running software through the circuits and check if green lights are blinking on the other side ?

My point is: isn't it far easier and more reliable to trust electronics than moving parts ?
Moreover you can check out electronics as much as you want while mechanical parts would tend to degrade for each test.

It is a great idea and should be possible so long as Apple is willing to approve an sandboxed app that accepts incoming connections (listens) on a port against the local interface.

Hrm, apologies. I was at work and didn't have my Nexus on me. With the back button description I was mixing up its behaviour with the other back button (the one at the top left with the 'back' arrow). That's the one that dumps you out of your search results and back to the main category. I'm not sure if it's because I'm primarily an iOS user that I expect the '<' indicator next to it to mean "go back to the last thing you looked at".

The swiping thing was referring to the category pop-out in the main sections (Apps etc) which makes it feel like it should do something else. In retrospect I probably should have waited until I had gotten home and double checked whether what I remembered was correct before commenting. Having a flip through it, the store is less awful than it was last time I paid it any serious attention - having a decent stable of usable apps I haven't had much cause to go looking for new stuff lately.
I won't disagree with this, but when some details are presented and argued over it's wrong to dismiss them airily as being irrelevant and compare the situation to a straw man involving absolute loss of privacy.

You can clone with HTTPS, SSH, Subversion, and other methods.

Before I clicked "Enable Repository Next" there was also a "Git Read-Only" option.

The "other methods" text points to https://help.github.com/articles/which-remote-url-should-i-u... which lists HTTPS read-only & read-write and SSH read/write. Last time I looked that page also listed Git read-only (with the description "All git:// URLs are anonymous, public and read-only. Private repositories do not have this URL type. // Use these URLs when cloning someone else's repository (where you don't have write access) and for submodules that point at public repositories.").

There was no explanation in the "Repository Next" blog posting that git:// URLs were being disappeared...

You see, on the one hand I think this is kind of admirable. Yay, I type my markdown over here and I can instantly see the bits I got wrong over there.

But I also can't help thinking, if you're going to all that effort why not go full WYSIWYG, with Markdown as the file format? (You'd need some kind of support for merge markers I suppose, I guess that'd be kind of tricky.)

You know what it reminds me of? Wordperfect 5.1's Reveal Codes :-)
No, but that still doesn't excuse Scala's syntax.
It's worth noting that Bingo Card Creator is very amenable to organic SEO. Not only that, but the process of SEO actually expands the product offering at the same time. That's the beauty of it. Creating a new bingo card is as simple as pasting a bunch of related words into a form and maybe a description paragraph, but now you have a new page full of words (hello Google) and you've increased the real value of the product to some customers and the perceived value to many more.

I think it would be challenging to duplicate Patrick's extremely low-cost and synergistic SEO strategy with a SAAS offering that was not so text-centric.

Apple did not create the need for the App Store any more than locksmiths created the need for us all to live in locked homes. The App Store was created by a small group of Malware writers, virus creators and Spammers who exploited their freedoms to make computers a dangerous, confusing environment for the majority of its users who are also the less technically able members of society.

The fact that many geeks seem to think that the App Store reduces their freedom in any way beggars belief. You have the freedom to use other devices or create new devices that live outside this eco-system: your Grandparents and young children do not.

Get of your high-legged blinkered horse and take a look at the real users of the technology you no-doubt help create. They are exploited, patronised, ridiculed and blamed for merely wanting to share the most important technology of the last 200 years with us. Rather than try to include them we ostracise them and call them idiots.

Once again I was recently reminded why we need the App Store. I spent some of my weekend helping my ex and our 10-year-old son discover why his innocent use of his mothers' work laptop to look at a flash gaming site has caused her PhD thesis to become infected with a virus and all her emails to be sent back to her as containing malware.

Is it my ex's fault for letting our son use her work laptop? Is it his fault for not understanding the dangers of the internet? Is it her fault for not having the correct settings set or the correct anti-virus protection? Is it her department's IT guys' fault for not enforcing a stricter policy?

It's the fault of the fucking arseholes who write malware and deliberately target children and other computing novices by presenting them with ten choices of download button and flashing click-me-now popups that look like system controls.

Either that or it's my fault for not buying my sons an iPad.
Tesla deserves to be the leader in the future of car manufacturing, they're a company that understands what it is to create a great product, execute well, and to care about their customers. It's almost impossible to believe it's from the same background as PayPal who have one of the worst (anecdotal) customer satisfaction records I have ever seen. But, great news for Tesla.

Handling Conflicting Django & AngularJS Template Tags
You are correct that this is a complex problem.
Nobody suggests 1) moving to 50/50 PV/Wind 2) immeadiately.

It needs to be a very diverse Mix that slowly and steadily grows, making it unlikely to hit your 1% case and giving us time to adjust to fluctuating power generation.
And it leaves a lot of room for clever engineering ideas and distribution. It also presents the opportunity for the people to gain back control over power generation and storage. Huge electrical companies might be unecessary :)

I like how in the :( versions the top status bar is all cluttered with low battery, gps, bluetooth, wifi etc. And the :) version is clean & minimal. Subtle persuasion!
I don't think the app icons are an improvement, I dislike both. The final redesign, the lock screen, I way prefer the iOS version. The time is hard to read on the redesign.

I think it would be challenging to duplicate Patrick's extremely low-cost and synergistic SEO strategy with a SAAS offering that was not so text-centric.

Many people have reported to me that variations on it have worked out quite well for them. I mean, yes, you might spend 10X or 100X what BCC does on content creation (~$3k over 8 years), but that's very justifiable for a lot of SaaS businesses.

Other people report to me that they've had substantial success with similar strategies in SaaS.

There are no working reactors (not even tested designs) that harness the potential of thorium. Experimental plants have had serious problems (edit:)and low power generation from thorium (see for example THTR-300 in germany; beware of the english wikipedia page, it is incomplete).

Same here. Made me feel like I was speed dating. And overhearing conversations was interesting too - first participant a pushing an idea, completely ignoring the other, who was pushing an idea, completely ignoring the first participant's idea. Like high-speed trains passing each other at 200mph.
This is also a problem with ExpressJS - pretty much every template language available, with the exception of Jade, uses {{ }} tags themselves.

Another solution I came up with (ugly but good in a tight squeeze) is to use the HTML number:

This will ensure it's not parsed on the server side, and output for Angular in the client.

Ask HN: Charge in Euro or Dollars for an online service?
We are running an online service (http://decor-fb.com/) and are currently charging our customers in Euro.

Users subscribe with a monthly plan and we are using facebook payments.

Our customers are from all over the world, our top countries for already paying customers are Brazil and Italy.

We are considering changing our plans to charge in dollars instead.

I wonder have any of you have experience in charging in both USD and Euro and if the wrong currency this is a deal breaker for potential customers.

I might have more precisely said: I imagined myself to be creating a BCC clone of sorts with www.makecupcakewrappers.com but found that trying your style of SEO/Content-Creation often resulted in ugly repetitive pages, where creating genuinely new content is expensive and labor intensive due to the graphical nature of the product.

But I didn't quite realize that going in. That's why I point out how elegantly conducive your product is to Scaleable Content Creation.
This is nice. I use Byword which doesn't have monospaced fonts for code blocks, but does the preview right in the editor. It's nice for non-code related markdown stuff.
Same setup. People interested in markdown only editors must be writers which don't edit any other format.

Otherwise, I don't get why you would bother learning several pieces of software, and each probably lacking many features of Sublime or other powerful text editors.

They have to offer this level of customer service because other luxury makers do. I don't have a luxury vehicle (I own a 2001 VW Eurovan), but my mechanic, who services European cars, offers rides and loaner cars to his customers because that's what someone who owns an Audi or a BMW expects. Anything less than this would have meant lost sales.
sadly, it looks (from the website) as if KVM is host-Linux only, and I need to run VMs inside OS X.

There's plenty of ways to make it physically difficult to copy out data onto portable storage without following protocol, so that it is not "honor-based":

For starters, disable all USB ports other than on dedicated systems that are closely monitored. Then you can physically (with a guard at the door), verify that no data is copied out without a second person signing in with the person doing the copying, and signing out the data being copied. Add on electronic restrictions requiring acknowledgement from a second person, and regular audits of who takes out what, and it'd be a lot harder to get data out without finding someone to help you, knowingly or not.

There will always be workarounds, but you can at least make people put in more efforts into doing things that increases the chance they'll be noticed.
I wonder if Erato is also just using the Ace editor as that preview on the side looks like a webview. If they did that's cool, but then this basically the same thing as Dillinger.
Yeah, networking at HN is very much "butt into the conversation or you're not talking to anyone"—but I find that's the case with most networking.

1a) "Hey data.gov, what information do you have available?"

http://catalog.data.gov/dataset?groups=consumer9350

The very first data set is health insurance estimates broken down by zip code. There's a super-lucrative market for you, but that one might be a bit competitive for you trying to crack it in 2013. Let's see, scroll down a few results...

ftp://ftp.cfda.gov/datagov/programs-full-datagov.csv

That's a full listing of government programs which are designed to give people money. You could transform that opaque, disorganized CSV file into an easier-to-consume .org site to educate people on how to apply for government grants, right? And you could run ads on that site, right? (I think it is likely that the type of ads you'll get on that specific site would be scummy as heck, but there's another 75,000 CSV files listed on data.gov, so do a bit more searching and find a better one.)

1b) Assuming you have picked good questions to answer, you monetize by connecting people who have demonstrable interest in spending money to people they can spend that money with. That could be directly with you, if you have a product which answers their needs. It could be with other folks, via selling leads. It could just be with Big Daddy G, by putting AdSense on the site, bankrolled by people who have the business model that you haven't implemented yet.

2) I actually wound down the consulting business. Long story, but short version is that I want to focus more on my own stuff. Having years of material and successes I could point to certainly helped me land gigs, but way back in the day, the only thing I had going for me was that BCC appeared to work and I could explain why. If you hypothetically had a successful side project, that can probably be parlayed into "I could do something like this for you, where it will be substantially more effective because it will take advantage of the X, Y, and Z advantages your business has that mine didn't."
