I can't believe people are defending this. If a brick-and-mortar store has a pay dispute with a contractor, would that contractor have the right to put a giant padlock on the store doors and spray paint a message on the door saying that the store owner didn't pay? Obviously not. How is this any different?

The key thing to keep in mind is the designer may be wrong. I'm sure if you ask the store owner they have a totally different story, and it's likely not "We are SUPER EVIL and just stiff people who do good work". Maybe the contractor (onemine.com, if you're curious) tried to bill the store owner more than agreed upon, the store owner refused, and this is the result. Maybe the contractor left out some significant part of the site and the store owner wont pay until completion. Who knows?

The problem here is OneMine has taken all the power in the pay dispute by holding the client's intellectual property hostage until all demands are met. It's at the very least unprofessional, but it becomes defamation very quickly unless OneMine has an absolutely airtight case. There better be exactly zero unfinished products, missed deadlines, rate changes, etc. And it's safe to say with many contract projects this is not the case.
The idea behind it is really simple – it’s based upon CSS content property which renders controller name right where the the controller-bound tag starts.

.dbg-ctrl:before
{
content: attr(ng-controller) attr(data-ng-controller);
position:relative;
line-height: 16px;
font-size: 16px;
background-color: greenyellow;
padding:2px 6px;
}

I also added a translucent background for easily identifying controllers nesting.

.dbg-ctrl
{
border: 1px dotted crimson;
background-color: rgba(173,255,47,0.09);
padding:5px;
}

Then I’m using jQuery to dynamically add the class:
$('[ng-controller]').addClass('dbg-ctrl');

Congrats, you've probably just did the owner of NYC Fresh Market a huge favor by giving this place some attention. Good publicity or bad publicity, by shining a spotlight on this establishment in HN you might convince some NYC HN locals to check it out.
Since it is directed at the typical person, it would seem a better solution would be for an app store to certify different 3rd party payment providers and lock out the rest. It would also be helpful if a person could select the payment providers they trust and be warned about apps that use someone else.

Lately I've been stuck in waiting rooms a lot, taking both of my parents and my three kids to medical and dental and vision appointments. I always take my laptop along and try to keep things moving forward.

A lot of these places don't have public wifi, and I've noticed that most of the time it's not a problem for me.

I've been working on games in Unity, which ships with all the docs so they are available offline. The only real problem I've had is one of comfort: poor seating and lighting, nauseating muzak, and often a multitude of varieties of old lady perfume and hair spray. It's funny, however, how all of that kinda melts away when I put on my headphones and get focused on what needs to be done.

I mostly stay tuned out of social media, HN, reddit, etc. when working anyway, but if those things are a distraction, then (of course) working offline might actually be more productive.

So, as I'm sure you've already thought out, you need to set up an offline development environment. Maybe you can identify some chunks of work that don't require access to inaccessible API's for when you are offline. And some API's can be setup locally, like App Engine.

The constraints of developing offline might also present a unique opportunity to design an application that is more fault tolerant; one that does something sensible when network resources are unavailable.

Have fun traveling. I'm very jealous.
I would be thrilled to have a solid Darwin that runs on commodity hardware so the servers could run the same code as the clients. The last I looked at actually running Darwin it looked like there was no effort from Apple to maintain a runnable Darwin. The lowest risk option was writing the code twice, a waste of resources we could have done without.
The problem I have with this is that there are so many options , someone looking at this has no real reference as to which books are better, how easy they are to read, etc. Its just a giant list!

In most cases inter-country opinions are just a way to manifest bigotry in a polite and acceptable way.

The Europeans holding the American government to a different standard on privacy are doing so because they're reflexively anti-American.

The people holding the Russian government to a different standard on gay rights are doing so because Russia's an old Cold War enemy they intrinsically dislike.

The people who hold the Israeli government to a different standard than any other nation on earth do so because they hate Jews.

No one likes to admit they're a nationalist bigot, so this kind of frank talk is never popular, but we pretty much all are.

Quick response from Proof School co-founder:

Can't comment on all the critiques here, but thank you for them, especially those intended to be constructive--the board of directors and advisory board members will consider some of points made here. If you haven't already, I encourage you to check out who's supporting Proof School. We are fortunate to have their backing and advice.

First, to user interface... the pitch deck format of the current website is meant more as a landing page to pique curiosity and to solicit interest--it will change to a more familiar UX soon. Apologies if it's slow or glitchy--we're working on it. Go easy, guys!

Let me tell you a little more about Proof School, opening to students in 2015. The mission of the school is to attract students who self-identify as "math kids"--it will not be easy to get in. We're looking for kids who may not see their peers except at summer math camps or at math circles, Julia Robinson Math Festivals, or math and CS events/contests at universities, MSRI and AIM during the school year, kids whose friends (some, at least) will wish they could go to Proof School, too, because the name says it all and they get it, kids who at 11, 12, 13, 14 are doing college and graduate level mathematics... and want to do it with kids and adults like them all year round, not just once in a while. These math kids are out there, and the response from them, their parents and other adult "math kids" who wish they'd had a Proof School when they were growing up is, frankly, massive. Here's our mission statement: PROOF SCHOOL WILL OFFER AN UNRIVALED EDUCATION TO YOUNG PEOPLE WHO EXCEL AT AND HAVE A PASSION FOR MATHEMATICS WHILE EQUIPPING THEM WITH KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND CHARACTER FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE.

Proof School will be elite but not elitist; no one who qualifies will be turned away because of financial need. It can also not only be about math: we will be offering a complete, UC A-G accredited curriculum, plus an explicit social/emotional learning (SEL) and mindfulness program, and partnering with some of the finest educational and cultural programs the Bay Area has to offer so that we educate the whole child. Math and CS will in some ways be the easy part, with teachers, professors, visiting instructors and peers teaching and learning from each other all in the mix. By contrast, we've identified the need to recruit the best teachers and academic leaders in the arts, hard sciences and humanities as our most pressing need going forward.

What more can I tell you... We're launching a "Math Community Hub" in downtown SF in 2014 to get us in synch with academic and admissions calendars, pulling together all people interested in math at all levels. There's lots more, but I won't be able to respond to more comments here on HN (I've got a school to build!). If you'd like to add your great ideas to our efforts, please send me an email at ibrown[at]proofschool.org. Also, please have a look at William Thurston's paper "On Proofs and Progress in Mathematics" here--just great: http://arxiv.org/pdf/math/9404236v1.pdf

In the cold war, US needed to maintain a image of being free'er than the oppressive international communism. They also suspected evey shrubbery to have a spy in them.

As such, I think covert activities had a natural upper limit on how much activity it could do without upsetting things. Incidents could be hushed (and at a very more effective manner than doay), but too much, and you get a Watergate scandal. As a result, 80s and 90s US didnt have that many scandals in the same league as wikileaks and Snowden's disclosures.

I do object to Apple on this issue, but it is a very hard problem to allow 3rd party payments. It creates support issues and we are talking about a consumer device. I think it is a problem they should have solved, but greed is fun.

I am especially dismayed because Apple is forcing app developers to sell app with no upgrades except in-app purchases. When a new version comes out, the consumer either gets it free or at full price. Apple can do this because they don't really care about customer loyalty on that level. As an app developer, you can sell "feature packs", but that is really confusing and a burden.
Personally, the way I want to write that program involves destructuring. All the cons, car and cdr crap makes my eyes glaze over almost as bad as the js.

WebM for Internet Explorer
To me the problems with microsoft are manifold, and they are not at all related to ballmer's professional competencies, but to his complete lack of ethics, which ends up trickling down through the ranks (see employee infighting/politicking), trickling out to users of their software (see the not-having-a-choice-about-preinstalled-software-on-generic-laptops), trickling out to other tech companies (see the bullying microsoft subjects Android manufacturers to), and trickling out to competitors (see microsoft unfairly dictating standards to the marketplace and the infamous corruption of ISO standards in 2008).

microsoft's core expertise isn't technology or even marketing, it's bullying, and it's defending / extending an existing monopoly. When you look at microsoft today, what you really notice is that they're still going by the same old playbook, pretending that it's still 1997, which is proving to be a very ineffective approach. It won't make a difference whether Ballmer stays or goes, as long as the new CEO is going to be someone whom bill gates has specifically picked based on their allegiance to microsoft's old playbook.

Why are you assuming the client didn't pay? You know absolutely nothing except that the designer ripped down the website and replaced it with a nastygram. Given that information, I'm certainly not quick to rule out the possibility that designer may be the asshole here.

Or in your mechanic example, maybe that mechanic quoted me $500, and then I show up and he asks for $1500 instead. I don't want to pay $1000 extra, so he threatens to spray paint my car with "balloot is a cheapskate" and park it out front of his shop.

>> Israel and Russia are considered 1st world countries. [There are higher standards for them]

I acknowledged that when I wrote "How many thousands of times is reasonable for different standards?"

So, how many factors of ten higher standards should be held for Israel than for, say, the countries that spend a large part of their GNP on artillery for use on civilians?

3? 4?

(I've asked that multiple times and never gotten an answer when people repeat your argument. Including in what you comment on.)

That is not explained by you thinking it is OK to have a factor thousands in different standards.

>>As for immigrants being criticized for holding 3rd world views after moving to a 1st world country, they don't have the kind of power that a government does

You really see no problem having factors of ten different standards for different groups of citizens inside a country?

Besides, I think you simplify (on the border of excusing) unpleasant regimes that oppress, mass murder and steal -- when you just describe the reason as "different levels of social progress". Countries today are poor mainly because they are controlled by corrupt juntas (or in a conflict, usually created by juntas). Every country on the planet with population over a few millions can and should have a competent government.
I don't think the point of this post was anonymity against those with large resources, but rather day-to-day anonymity for social interaction.
Why is spying on the UN worrisome? Countries spy on each other, because countries lie to each other all the time. It's how countries find out what's really happening as opposed to what's said publicly.

PG did a good job (as tptacek did) of trying to spin this [1] but the bottom line is there aren't comments because somehow it's not good for YC. (Which is fine of course since it's YC's sandbox.)

Fully see the problem of course with the "outing companies that were still under the radar". I would have just left it at that. The rest is just a distraction that gives people a reason to refute the additional points made.

In selling it's best to just concentrate on the strongest angles. Otherwise you give people an opening on something that doesn't even matter or a problem that can be solved.

>> The key consideration for such searches is securing weapons and preventing the suspect from destroying evidence. The weapon concern obviously doesn't exist with cell phones, but the destruction of evidence concern certainly does.

I don't buy that. There is nothing stopping an officer from physically obtaining the phone to preserve its' state pending later search under warrant. The immediate search of a pack/container/whatever for physical threat, I understand. The contents of a phone don't fit this same criteria.

If I wanted to discredit those who sincerely worry about the long-term consequences of Fukushima, make them look like tin-hat-wearing paranoids, I could do no better than the linked article, which is not a balanced report but an editorial filled with intended and unintended inaccuracies.

Fukushima is a very serious problem, and many countries are reconsidering their commitment to nuclear power as a result, including Germany, which intends to phase out nuclear power entirely. But the linked article is absolutely counterproductive, exhibiting every irresponsible, sensationalist trait imaginable.

Yes. The United Nations seat is where it is because it is agreed that this is extraterritorial and inviolate. Think of it as bombing a church or a hospital. (not that those things aren't done, but they're considered more than just bad form).

The United Nations headquarters relies on the host country to play nice and to be trustworthy otherwise the United Nations will lose its ability to operate and that is worth more than the secret services of any one country, even the US.

It's not THAT unusual, on entering a house through a locked door, to find your way blocked by another door that needs unlocking. (One or both of these doors might even have two locks.) And then inside this locked house there will quite probably be rooms with locks on their own doors. And inside some of those rooms, cupboards, with doors, with locks on 'em! And look inside enough of these lockable cupboards, and you might well find a safe. With a door with a lock on it...

Nice implementation of a concatenative language, and the relatively robust standard library it already has is nice. Is there anything different about its execution model from languages like Factor or Joy?

As far as being purpose-built for code golf goes, there are already even more compact concatenative languages, like F[1] and XY[2], that might give this a run for its money due to K's obvious influence. Then again, it wouldn't be hard to have a rewrite layer to turn mnemonic operations into their expanded rhoScript words :)
