You write all the code for your classes inside header files and include them inside another class in main.cpp. That way you get around "declare before use" rule using uncommon feature of C++.

there was a related talk [1] at the usenix 2013 in which this (quite old i might add) method of information ex-filtration was analyzed.

Space-based solar may work in powering space probes that are too far from the sun. An array of solar concentrators could beam down just enough solar power downrange to make the exploration of the Kuiper belt and inner Oort cloud worthwhile (there is no loss in conversion since you're redirecting photons all the way to the spacecraft). The alternative thing may be orbiting microwave relays that receive power from Earth and then beam it at the distant spacecraft (either as laser or microwave power).
When I was a child I honestly wanted to be some sort of god, watching the world go by and knowing everything. Needless to say it didn't work out exactly that way.
I'll go too: I've been building a Hubot script for interfacing with Asgard from NetflixOSS.

https://github.com/imperialwicket/hubot-asgard

I think the chatbot mentality is a good one, as it forces you to script/automate things so that a chatbot can accomplish them. That level of automation is a good target imo. It's also a great way to be certain that you can solve many issues remotely - since you can generally provide a meaningful chatbot command via mobile device.

In terms of scaling and cloud (aws) management, Asgard is awesome (seriously - if you're on aws and haven't checked it out, go now: https://github.com/Netflix/asgard/wiki). The biggest complaint I have about Asgard as a tool, is it feels like more than most organizations need; because it is. My goal with the hubot-asgard scripts is to wrap some of the more essential features, and hide the bulk of the solution that many orgs just see as excess tooling.

There's also the Cloud Prize...

If anyone is interested and needs assistance or wants particular features that aren't wrapped yet (it's still very young) I'd love to know. And of course - all feedback is welcome and appreciated.
There's plenty of HackerNews apps you can use rather than the website.

I feel like we must have read different articles. Here's what the OP had to say about colour printing: "Print limitations (airports seem to have crazy basic print machines, colour may be an ideal but not a realistic ask)"

He certainly seems aware that this might be an issue. Indeed, when you look at the designs, you see that the information generated at pass issue time is either black or one other colour. Thermal printers are already capable of this, as I suspect the OP is aware. So no, the redesign does not require full bleed CMYK printing.

"This is a perfect example of why business people tend to ignore designers and regard them as jumped-up decorators."

Uh huh...
Persona required some changes to the code that have not yet landed in production i.e. on login.persona.org so we are using personatest.org for preliminary testing :)
Merely getting to orbit Mercury is more energy-expensive than leaving the solar system altogether, then landing in a high-gravity environment and without an atmosphere. Mercury is not easy to get to.

Real time means that a calculation ends before the next update. Real time doesn't say anything about rate but means there is a constant rate.
This seems to assume that you have the ground area on Earth for the panels. That's true where Musk is working in the US, but not for many smaller countries.

Of course I guess it that for those countries it would still be easier to put the panels somewhere else and build out the connection infrastructure than to put it in space.
SORRY WHAT? Send the energy back in the form of microwaves? I'm assuming this means lining something up on the ground to receive it? What if its goes off course or is knocked by a small meteorite? are all those waves going to just fry us instead?
These are great, my preferred one is http://skimhn.com. And it's on github so I created a version that shows the latest 50 show hn. It's incredible the quantity of projects that go unnoticed. And then there are some cases like pud showing his new music project and being ignored and after some time putting a link saying he had like 400k users and didn't know what to with them and everybody went crazy up voting it. Sometimes HN is just too far from the target audience.
Junkmail ("direct mail marketing") is to mail as advertising is to the internet. It pays the bills.

There are plenty of countries that are net importers of energy now.
Same here, I'd feel more comfortable if it was something like test.persona.org.
I guess we have enough space on the earth for putting solar panels. Why invest so much money on future technology when we haven't even implemented the previous one properly. What happens if before this technology is properly implemented, a new better technology comes? Then again this idea will become a banal and everyone will look forward to the next. We need to first set our focus on what we have in hand. Fully implement it, then move to something greater.

Some of the offices in our building are serviced and come with telephony systems included. The owner of these offices has been hit with exactly this attack and ended up with a bill for £150k . Nearly ruined his business and the carriers are not at all sympathetic.

I've not heard of a single case where successful prosecution has occurred. I think OFCOM and the police view these attacks against financial institutions as a 'cost of doing business' - if you dont want fraud, dont run a bank - attitude.

Reasons Why You Don’t Own the Code that You Create
The Day The Universe Changed
I (obviously) disagree. Reinventing the wheel is fun, we all do it. But (to stretch an analogy), if there have been cars for decades, and you claim to have just invented the wheel, and that all previous wheel were square, then I would ask what you (think you) have accomplished - why not a) make a better car and b) tell us why your car is better. If the MongoDB schtick is "we can do 10% of what Oracle can for 1% of the price" then that's great, there is a real market for that (assuming that 10% overlaps with the 10% of Oracle that you happen to use).

I was using MySQL for real work back in the 1990s. I remember then, them saying, you don't need foreign keys - just check it in your application. You don't need transactions either, just handle failures in your application, yadda yadda. And of course, MySQL these days supports all these things (with InnoDB, an Oracle product) because these things weren't there "for lulz" in commercial databases, they were there because people needed them and saw value in them. Now I am getting a complete sense of deja vu with MongoDB. It will have to add transactions. This is inevitable. It will have to add enforced schemas, row level locking, ACLs, and other features besides. If we remember, then in a year, let's touch base again, and you'll see I'm right. This is what I mean when I say the lesson of MySQL.

And in 10 years, there will be another product, let's call it ZongoDB, and the cycle will repeat again. You don't need this, you can't do that, they'll say, and the MongoDB crew, by now themselves old geezers (this means, in IT, in their 30s) will roll their eyes.

PS I may be an Oracle partisan, but I recognize too when Oracle implements something IBM did back in the 70s...

People love to hate the endorsement system, but I have found that while I get endorsements from people who clearly aren't qualified to asses my skills, it still ends up such that my most-endorsed skills are actually fairly close to reality. As a recruiter you'd be foolish to use this at face value, but for doing a rough search to narrow down candidates, I don't think it's way off.

I've done a lot of scraping. Some sites use heavy Javascript frameworks that generate session IDs and request IDs that the XHR requests use to "authenticate" the request. In these situations, the amount of work to reverse engineer that workflow is pretty large. In these situations, I lean on headless Selenium. I know there are some lighter solutions, but Selenium offers some distinct advantages:

1) lot of library support, in multiple languages

2) without having to fake UAs, etc, the requests look more like a regular user (all media assets downloaded, normal browser UA, etc)

3) simple clustering: setting up a Selenium grid is very easy, and switching from local instance of Selenium to using the grid requires very little code change (1 line in most cases)

I'll also add this is my third Ludum Dare and I love it every time - the community is brilliant, the blog works amazingly and as you work on your entry it's very easy to keep track of other people's work and failures too.

In the end, it's all about having fun making games and no game-making jam is nearly as cool as Ludum, it is the queen of game making competitions.

Yes, but I believe his point was that you could have multiple smaller stations close to where the power is needed. If it isn't safe to have the receivers near cities, then I don't think there's much chance that any receiver (anywhere) will get past the regulatory hurdles.
No. Bad idea, while everyone is trying to disintermediate and run the brokers out of every business, why get another centralized energy provider? This is like the oil con.

My Style Adjuster chrome extension uses sliders to change colors, but what makes it good is that it changes the color of a CSS property value in the page, as you slide the slider, while looking at the thing that the color applies to. (It does dimensional values also.)

Sliding is better than clicking, because you can't click on something without actually looking at it. But once you've started sliding a slider, you can continue to slide it without looking at the slider.

My account is new but I'm a long time lurker. From personal experience it gets easier to skim over the low-impact parts after having spent some time using the site. It just happens naturally: you will soon be able to gauge a comment thread's usefulness in seconds.

To be honest I am glad the comment scores are not displayed and that there is less attention given to usernames. This prevents the hivemind-style comment ranking that is probably the single worst flaw of Reddit.
I can see how that works. Ask a depressed woman and man if they are depressed, I am thinking a women would be more likely to admit it.

I was quite depressed for a while, job problems, social problems etc. I didn't go cry or something. My closest friends noticed it but that is all. I think men (including me) are probably less likely to admit/show his depression. I am no doctor though, so I might be wrong
Thanks for the idea. Interestingly reddit /r/startups brings more feedback than HN. Maybe you may hunt there for side projects too.

This feels pretty polished for an early days project. My few initial nit-picks:

The Help/Support feels a little buried within the FAQ section - "support" is in the menu, but Seller's Guide and Buyer's Guide seem important, and I wouldn't have thought to look under FAQ.

Also when money is involved, even if you're clear about not handling the monetary exchange, I tend to look for an About, or more concrete contact details. Favorites icon would be nice, too.

Really? In most of Europe Aldi is associated with poor quality. Great place to buy canned food, toilet paper or cleaning products but not the place you'd want to buy meat, milk or veggies.

I am not sure it's fair anymore. Part of it probably came from the fact that the fixtures used to be so run down. Long after all other stores had started using bar codes, Aldi employees had to memorize PLU codes.

Written with TypeScript
Joined a startup as CTO/investor at an IVR company. Built up 4 years domain knowledge working with telephony fraud. exited a month ago as part of a $150m sale.

Final anecdote. A certain attack requires the fraudster to call the target's bank and ask a few questions. For some reason in ALL of these calls there is the sound of a baby crying in the background.

Our theory is that while testing the attack vector, the first time it 'worked' a baby must have been crying. The fraudsters think it works as some kind of high frequency disruption to confuse any biometric systems that are processing the call, so they play a RECORDING of a baby in the background of all subsequent calls.

It reminds me of learned behaviour in animals. The pigeon stands on one leg and gets a treat. The pigeon now thinks the one legged approach is what makes the treat appear.

The icing on the cake was when I got a call from a bank asking if there are any biometric systems that can detect the sound of crying babies...
