On July 19th, 1992, a car bomb killed in Palermo judge Paolo
Borsellino and five police officers escorting him: Walter Eddie
Cosina, Agostino Catalano, Emanuela Loi, Claudio Traina e Vincenzo Li
Muli. A sixth officer, Antonino Vullo, was injured.

Together with Giovanni Falcone, killed on May 23rd of that same year,
Borsellino was one of the (Italian) anti-mafia squad.

Main stream media has been co-opted by the corporate state, e.g. CNN. We don't really have an independent press any more. It is no surprise that RT maybe the only avenue to stay informed.
This is one thing that bothers me about Zynga et al. The entertainment business has always been like this, you can't have a movie run in the theaters for years on end. I don't think why they think a game will work differently if the put enough analytics in it.

Really cool.
I trade in EUR though, so it would be nice with a mtgox EUR listing.

The access rights it wants to my twitter account is unacceptable though, so no chance i am going to bind my account to bitjoy.
Telnet is simpler... I call this my random insult service and it can run on any TCP port. It's not as rude as saying "Fuck Off" as it is meant to be humorous and is intended for all the script-kiddie port scanners out there:

What?! It's all about inequality. The problem isn't everyone is getting richer it's that some are getting waaaay richer than other, they are grabbing the powers, making decisions and isolating themselves from the consequences of those decisions.

You can drain a lake for thing X until your lake runs dry. Who is least susceptible to change? Those with money . Either they move or they buy water).

The high Gini coefficient correlates and probably causes so many bad effects it shouldn't be ignored. It's not the one and only measure, and there are other important measures but it is a very good predictor of social unrest.
Agreed. I think it's a little naive to think that a free service doesn't have to make money.

But! Without users Google won't have a business at all. So they should be careful with disruptive advertisement.
Cool, more currencies coming soon -- will look at the permissions. Thanks for the feedback.
What do you use? Better yet, what's an alternative to Google Apps I can use for my domain?
But if a man is jumping of a cliff because he thinks he can fly, you should not respect his 'NO' when trying to catch him.

Your serious argument is one of the little valid points raised so far. And I agree, we might not be in a position to help them now. But the statements that even if we could bring them to our society in a humane manner we still shouldn't, because they're clearly fine as they are... That just disgusts me.
I only read Twitter on my iPad. If I have some time, mostly with a fresh cup of coffee, I open the app, load all new tweets and just read them. I follow ~80 people so this works okayish.

Some people are in a separate list. They basically tweet everything they can find or sometimes cry about stuff I'm not interested in for days. I just skim, over this list to see the interesting tweets.

Works for me, would likely fail horribly if I would follow more people.

I don't really need more features. Send 140 characters, read what others say, get a notification for mentions / DMs. The only thing I would find useful would be a synchronization between all clients. So my iPhone knows where I stopped reading on my iPad e.x.
What is an Android user worth to Google?
Looks great (FireFox v22), loaded after 45 seconds.

Can you give some specifics as to what the tech is behind BitJoy and what your plans for it are?
It really depends on the laptop. If you are fine with mass market (i.e. likely supported) hardware rather than 2 month old bleeding edge cards you will likely be supported. I'm happily running ubuntu on an Asus VE248H - everything worked out of the box (after the install), including multi monitor support. I'd give up my OSX desktop (powermac) at work for ubuntu in a heartbeat (in fact I have a virtualbox install on it for when I really hit the limits of OSX.)
Looks really good. One thing to point out that is probably a one-line fix: the month being displayed for news articles is exactly one month before the actual date they came out.

Yes and no. It's not synthetic, but it's not naturally occurring, either (at least, not at levels that are useful). A lot of work went into the production process before penicillin actually became viable as an antibiotic (hence the 16-year gap between discovery and first wide scale use):

This is perhaps the most depressing article I've seen posted on HN in a few months. I have to believe that the vast majority of that $200mm is a function of coercive revenue strategy as illuminated so well here: http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/RaminShokrizade/20130626/1949...

These games prey on those least equipped to understand how their fears/desires are being exploited, and it's a shame to see they are being rewarded so well in doing so.
This needs to be higher. Many commenters seem to be acting as if the choice is between mud hut and glorious western way of life.
I just discovered it earlier this year, and I loved it as well! This makes me sad.. Although I'm glad HN is gathering up alternatives for OSS IT news
Codinghorror is the personal blog of the founder of Stack Exchange. He left that company and later founded Discourse. Why wouldn't he talk about the things he's built and working on on his blog?
ZoHo might be able to do that for you, but I'm not sure -- they might separate it at the domain level. But I'd think mail forwarding for 10 inboxes shouldn't be a stretch for them.
Fastmail[1] is looking very nice, very fast and makes Google look like a bloated pig.

The prices too are similar to Google apps, but I'm not sure I'm going to move all my stuff there (Google Docs at least needs a competitor).

I've yet to decide if I'm going full scale when I'm through my free trial.

But sadly, not a rate that individuals can opt in to, when on Apps for Domains. Shame really!
Except that is the very problem: drive 100 miles, and the signs for table and hat are different. Change the conversation, and the signs may be different. I can put an arm low and flat, and it means a general flat surface. It doesn't mean table until I mime setting a cup down on it, for example.

Like I said, complex and nuanced. You have some incorrect assumptions in how signed languages work.
45s is waaaay too long :) will make that better.

The goal is to create a real-time snapshot of the bitcon ecosystem & to build context around the data so it's simple to consume and understand. Price was a logical place to start, hope to add more types of data in the future.
Because it's aimed at business, not families. Fastmail have a family service that is much more flexible imho. The problem is trying to get family to actually pay for email.
I would suspect that the target demographic for sites like this is much more likely to be using ad blocking plugins, adding a further hurdle to monetization.
Hrrrrrmm :) thanks for spotting that.
You have to buy hardware that runs the software you want to run. This has always been the case, and always will be the case; it's just in the nature of things. I can't say of my own knowledge whether a ThinkPad is the only laptop that runs Linux well, but if that is true, then obviously you have to buy a ThinkPad if you want to run Linux, just as you have to buy a Mac if you want to run OS X.
> ... and may still be here but undetectable to our current technologies.

I recently saw a nature doc where they were raising Panda cubs. Because the species isn't doing that well and breeding in captivity is problematic they try to keep them unfamiliar with humans [0]. Keeping them undomesticated, so to speak. The caretakers wear Panda costumes every time they have to interact with the cubs. They do the same when raising endangered birds: hand puppets reduces imprinting with humans [1].

In that respect, I think it's overkill for alien tech to rely on advanced tech to make themselves undetectable. Look up at the sky. See those Boeing and Airbus planes? That's how easy it is. Disguise your spacecraft as a reflective metal tube that leaves a trail of water vapor and you're done.

Disclaimer: I don't actually believe they're among us.

> If a girl refuses to go out with you

I think you're unnecessarily conflating this with another topic entirely.
> PHP doesn't have literal regexps as part of the language.

It doesn't really change anything. Instead of using / to delimit the parts each part is sent as an argument to the function.

> Is/$pattern/$replacement/e. f you inject "/e" in to $replacement variable, what happens? I don't know

In PHP that regex would look like preg_replace("/$pattern/e", $replacement), so injecting a /e in the replacement doesn't do anything - it has to be in the pattern not in the replacement.

> Only as of 5.5. That doesn't make the decision to enable it by default in the past excusable.

No, it was never enabled by default. Why do you think it was enabled by default? That wouldn't even make sense.

> It's a callback mechanism that users of the library can use. How it's used is irrelevant, the topic at hand is PHPs behaviour.

How it's used is to - drumroll - enable /e - the callback runs the PHP function that executes the code whenever it sees a place where the /e should activate. i.e. /e is certainly part of the preg C library.
The "WAT" for me is that the `var i` is hoisted _out_ of the `for`, which IMHO, breaks the principle of least astonishment. I would expect the `i` to be lexically scoped to the body of the `for` block, instead of being hoisted out into the parent scope of the `for` block.

so here's a naive question : why aren't people simply playing off the price differentials between mt gox, bitstamp and btc (more than $7 when I just opened the OP's page) and making a ton of money? or maybe they are? or maybe commissions / fees are so high they eat up any profit?
We might just as well claim that Javascript is Perl then. Javascript has a lot more in common with Perl than it does Scheme; those things that both Javascript and Scheme have in common are also common in many other languages.

Anyone trying to draw parallels between Javascript and Scheme isn't crossing some pedantic line, they're off in crazyland. Or, more likely, they don't understand both languages as well as they're implying.

If you are following an inbox zero approach (as I am), then there's not much point in using the sectioned inbox IMO. I guess it might be useful if you receive tons of email and you want to sort of go through it in an ordered manner, but normally I tend to unsubscribe from things I am not interested in, so there are little or no messages in the other sections.
Yes, "without pushing" is key, but I think there's more to it... Theoretically, google ads are enriching, by noting the existence of an option likely to interest you.

The adwords model came from goto.com (then overture.com) which was entirely ads that you searched. Like searchable classifieds I guess.
I won't write about the service now, because I haven't used it yet, but quick and easy access to music from different channels like SoundCloud or YouTube seems interesting and is apparently working fine from my few clicks.

Bug spotted. Setting avatar in the profile doesn't work.

EDIT 1: Apparently it started to work (even without doing logout and login again).

I noticed also that after editing the track title and saving it's not updated in the view - I have to refresh the page to be sure, whether the change actually did happen.

EDIT 2: Changing e-mails doesn't require mail confirmation. While it may seem as PITA for many, it's good in avoiding mistakes and spamming accounts you don't really possess.

EDIT 3: And information about changed mail came where? To mail address used during registration. :) It would be fine if I got it delivered to my new address too, but I haven't.
This is even more true in game development. So many developers making games want to try and make reusable components across games but almost every game is "special" and will require some kind of tweaking to make the component truly reusable.

And then, you've just bloated your component to support different use cases and made it slower, harder to understand, and potentially buggy; all in the name of "reusability". And it takes you 3 times longer to implement this shared component vs just making copy & paste single use solution.

Game development is truly an art. Knowing when to just "get it done" vs "write a more reusable component" is something that I've seen very few people in game development be able to get right.

FYI @CERN they do store all your emails indefinitely and do read them without informing you (it is an international organization with its own "laws" and is tax free). And they do use it when manipulating (against) you. They aren't above making use of private (ie. non-CERN) phones either.
Can I ask you the remaining 70% of the time what you do in pure Chrome OS? Web browsing, using Google docs etc..?
You can't have the same movie run for years (well, unless it's Rocky Horror), but you can have the same premise. In the same way you can have the same kind of game (Farmville -> Cityville, etc etc) but with a different setting, look, etc.
Question about submitting "Show HN"
Hi everyone, I'm just about ready to launch my first software project and thought that I can get great feedback from the HN community. I read that in order to get visibility, some people are asking their friends ahead of time to up-vote their post so that the community see this. Any thoughts on this? I don't want to "game the system", but I would like to have a good shot of getting exposure. Any thoughts on this?
I can't tell you how happy that makes me.
apparently it does work, you just have to log out and in again.
I think the goal has to be to read what it doesn't say.

The most sensible interpretation I can come up with is saving 1 route mile for each driver for a year (that is, chopping 365 miles off the work of one driver). That puts the per mile savings right around $0.40.
What do linux and open source have to do with this at all?
Now let's have 10 seconds of silence for all the newly computer science graduates that, after reading that article, will try to launch their own games on app stores in the hope of replicating that business model. Only to realize after a while that they're statistically about as likely to succeed as winning at the lottery.

Unfortunately, and probably, this is the reason they didn't monetise it enough :/
I don't think I buy this idea, and I don't think most honest developers would either. People want to know when their users aren't happy with their service, and they especially want to know if they're feeling alienated.
Thanks -- will work on the initial load time.
I think you should include hashed urls. You can guess the content of the link from the url.
Have you actually played Candy Crush? It's a well designed game that is a lot of fun to play. At no time do you actually have to pay for anything. People voluntarily pay because they want to keep playing at that moment or because they want to get more levels. Even then it's far cheaper than going to an arcade.

Well there is a particular self-replicating set of devices that we already know in detail. If we're going down this road, have they bothered to think that maybe we're the self-replicating alien probes?

Disclaimer: Don't believe it for a second, but fun to speculate. Personally I think the Drake equation, the "Great Filter", etc. are just mathematical laziness. The chance of life arising is likely just infinitesimally small. Rare earth hypothesis all the way.
So, just like Lisp, then.
It's all relative, including everyone's perception of ethics.

My brother (who is graduating on CS next year) asked me back a while (i already have graduated years ago) what´s the point on being a computer expert today: in his vision it´s about making tons o shit that nobody wants (like ads systems and addict useless apps). I still have no answer for him.

This definition seems to exclude Common Lisp from being a Lisp. That might be a defensible position, but it does call into question how your definition of "Lisp" is useful to you. It also seems to exclude languages like Dylan, which are commonly regarded as Lisps by people far cleverer than me.
I got to the end of the page and thought, "Well that wasn't so bad..." -- then I saw that I was at the end of page 1...of 22.

Epic.
Your manner of dismissing LISPs without TCO allows you is something of a No True Scotsman argument, enabling you to proclaim counter examples toys by merit of their being counter examples. Yes, most lisps have it. I don't think anyone denies emacs-lisp or AutoLISP were Lisps due to their lacking it.

Your suggestion of "let's say ..." is based in what appears to be complete lack of familiarity with all of the languages involved. Providing useful libraries doesn't preclude having done things right. Supplying a bare minimum of libraries does not preclude having made them miserable. There are plenty of awkward moments in using Common Lisp libraries that have made this plain to me.

Your suggestion that "research first, and do the best" is unpopular for "obvious reasons" is just hand-waving. The "obvious reasons" that are left unstated here are that "research first and do the best" languages general suck, hard. They suck because they sit in toy environments for years while the "release early and iterate" languages flourish under constant adaptation to real world usage. Both will have warts. The latter will be worth using.

Suggesting that "Clojure is closer to Ruby that Lisp" is just silly. What lisp? Scheme and Common Lisp, both definitely Lisps, are easily as different from each other as Clojure is from either. Ruby's insane class monkey patching is closer to the type of advice you find in Common Lisp than the immutable datatypes and carefully conceived concurrency primitives found in Clojure. Common Lisps many different name classes are a horror found in few modern languages. There's nothing in Clojure's "clever special syntax" that many developers did not toy with using reader macros and other abominations. Your suggestion that the olders lisps data structures, usually cobbled together with a pattern of lists and a prayer, are somehow more thought through than Clojures is both ignorance and meanness combined. Yes, Common Lisp had many builtin and library added datatypes. No, it didn't stop alists and structure built from underlying alists from being its fondest love.

As for classifying Ruby and Clojure as "scripting" languages, please define "scripting" language. It's a meaningless term for nearly anything other than `bash`.

In the exact article linked it is explained that Candy Crush starts as a skill game and then makes a subtle shift to being a money game.

If a casino was changing a game from skill to luck in the middle of play they would be shut down.
You are depicting war among tribes as being a lesser evil than the ones carried among nations. It would be better to compare the tribes' war with clashes among Eurasian ancient cities and later among medieval houses, in which "warriors would fight, some people would die, but damage on a lasting scale was minimal" would be valid for both. That kind of war was carried for thousands of year, and comparatively only little time-span holds the "total war" style.

You are also speculating about tribal social environment. For the most part of human history, the main factor for establishing relations was power enforced through violence. The size of the community didn't matter much, we have domestic violence even now. That "sort of equilibrium between its members" was/is assured most likely by brute force or its projection.
