Awesome, thanks for the answer.

Looks like we'll be integrating in Stripe into our eCommerce system for our clients once we get into the BETA. :)
Well the Hiptop had an app store, which the first iPhone didn't, so there's certainly differences, but they're both basically PDAs.
The problem is that you can't synchronously process the payment, which makes the API (and user experience generally) much more complicated.
They cut the episodes shorter in the US to fit more ads. I haven't seen the episode in question, but the amount of cut time might be enough to remove a small segment.
Ireland was the first Eurozone country to enter Stripe beta, UK was the first EU.

This article is both hyperbolic and patronizing.

If the article stated, "don't bother building another OS, Microsoft have that market sewn up", I think we would all equally call bullshit.

Sounds exactly like the type of campaign Steve Jobs discarded with extreme prejudice, as related in the biography. "Embarassing, Pottery Barn type ads. It's advertising agency bullshit and I hate it", as far as I remember the quote. He replaced those ads with the iconic silhouette iTunes ads.

Oh, also: "Designed by Apple in California" was brilliant in its subtlety, on the back of the iPhone if you looked hard enough. Taking that and making it a 40pt headline destroys the spirit of it and is one of the worst examples I have seen recently of mismanaging brand equity.
Even if for some reason I had problems installing it on my Ubuntu machine, I'm starting to love Lato too.
Are you talking about the certificate problem or a DNS error. If its a certificate problem, its because each user in our system generates their own self-signed certificates. If it was an actual error - Some windows/DNS servers query "AAAA" records currently which gets our DNS server code in trouble - hopefully we can fix this soon.
Neither of HotSpot's collectors guarantee maximum latency, though, which is Azul C4's interesting feature.

I have no problem with cloning, everybody does it if we're being honest.

It's just that I'm not sure it's a good idea to give your business data to people whose main business model it is to look for the best ideas/markets/businesses and then to copy them.

To me, there seems to be a pretty obvious conflict of interest that might work against you.
umm... i think the whole "make connections between things" and getting the "AHA! Moment" depends on the ALPHA waves not the beta ones.

It seems to me that the process for Coinbase could be exactly the same as the process for Paypal -- post a form with the amount to be paid and the account money should be paid to, and get a payment notification later.
What's so great about Stripe? What does it do that other payment processors don't? I don't get it.
As somebody who for all of his life used C-c and C-v for copy/paste, I wouldn't miss it at all. highlight to copy messes my workflow up.

The agents should be trained not only to look for something, but to handle false positives - which given how few terrorists are out there would be the vast majority of cases they will ever encounter. Moreover, for a random TSA agent false positives are probably all he'd ever encounter. Unlike the police, TSA deals in vastly overwhelming majority with innocent people who they are meant to protect, not harass. They are trained to look for very rare exceptions, but they must know these exceptions are very rare and most their suspicions will be proven unfounded.

They have completely and miserably failed at that. They wasted a lot of time on abusing clearly innocent man, whose innocence could be established much faster with much less inconvenience and much less waste of time.

Note that I wasn't criticizing anything (or any one) in particular, just observing the situation Diaspora finds itself in. There's no doubt in my mind that the Diaspora team did their best and their efforts are appreciated by myself and many others.

I only expressed my melancholy given that Diaspora didn't catch on even though it had a very promising start. It's also quite sad that I still have to use Facebook (to keep in touch with friends, get invitations to events, etc.) even though I know that my rights are infringed on a regular basis.

I've founded and co-founded several start-ups myself and I know that failing sucks and that it's (very) hard to succeed. But to argue that the Diaspora guys were just "another" run-of-the-mill basement start-up is not fair. They had a $200k head start and significant media coverage before they wrote one line of code.
One type of the jokes derive their fun from an unexpected twist. The fun is the surprise.

Another type of jokes reaffirms what the listener already believe. The fun is the comfort of being proven socially right. This was the second type of joke. Those are obviously only funny to those who believe in the cliché the joke is using. As Homer Simpson put it "It's funny because it's true!"

still won't help. This is security trough obscurity. It works only if the attacker don't suppose you use passphrase.

4000^4 gives 256000000000000 giving 3.3 bits of entropy per decimal digit it comes to 50 bits of entropy. Not too shabby but not that secure either. Your PCs rng may play you dirty tricks.

And of course there are all kind of legacy systems with password limitations to 32 or 16 character, but above 8 etc etc which would further reduce the pool.

Of course you could try your own password deriving mechanism. Take the first 16 characters of bcrypt(username,site domain) it will produce awesome passwords for any site that you will have easy time producing when needed. Until the hackers begin to suspect what you use if it becomes widespread.

Given that the use case for Firebase is taking the place of your traditional server side architecture and storage, it seems kind of obvious that you would have to take heed of the security implications and set them up properly. The security concerns don't magically vanish just because you don't write the server side code.
Too bad most stores have never heard about this "credit card thing", some will grudgingly accept EC (the german debit card)

Credit card ownership in Germany was around 33% in 2011 [1].

The problem that credit cards have in Germany is that they have to compete with ELV (and soon SEPA Direct Debit, I suspect), which from a consumer's perspective (though not from a seller's) is the superior payment system (ease of chargebacks, plus the up to 150 Euro that you may have to eat if your credit card details are stolen, plus the historical tendency of the courts to side with banks over consumers in the case of card theft [2]).

As others have commented, I've always found that having two copy paste processes cause a slight mental pause sometimes. I tend to use middle drag middle click paste in terminal applications and the drag to highlight, select edit/copy then click in desired position, select edit/paste for graphical applications.

Interesting to see how this pans out. Gnome has significant contributions from Red Hat staff. Red Hat have suggested they will be releasing the desktop RHEL7 with Gnome Classic as the default UI to minimise training costs for customers.[1]

The standards committee could not come to a complete agreement on hash tables and therefore it was not a part of C++03. Hash tables were in consideration along with the tree based map. However, maps made it in time but hash tables didn't. It was not one versus the other. They wanted to have both and only one was ready on time.

Eventually by the time they came to an agreement on hash tables (C++11), a lot of vendors had their own versions of it as non-standard additions to the library. To avoid conflicts with these existing hash tables, they named it "unordered_map".
" it's because we simply have had better alternatives for ages. Instead of credit cards people use Electronic cash"

Here's a data point for you:

For me, the text on that article felt way too big when viewed in a full screen browser on a 1280x800 display. Frankly, it's about as bad as if the font-size were 12px or 13px.

Resizing the browser window to only take half of the screen width makes it better on my eyes (it appears to be 17px). Still, after that, I felt the need to go to developer console and change line-height to 1.4.

I chuckled a bit when, after these adjustments, I arrived at the sentence:

> The fact you’ve read to this paragraph is proof that there is something to my argument.

I'm on a 13" Macbook Pro, and lying on a couch, so my viewing distance may be a bit closer than if I were sitting on a desk. I'm 33 years old, with relatively ok eyesight (no glasses), and totally buy your other arguments (I'm a fan of Bringhurst myself).

It's just that anything more than 18px on a laptop display just feels too big.

I cancelled the life insurance policy which was automatically included in my retirement savings several years ago. I don't have any debt (even my mobile phone is pre-paid) so life insurance is basically a massive bet on me dying with no real upside.

Again, YMMV and some people consider it a worthwhile investment. Just trying to contribute my point of view to the discussion.
The computer is a tool I use to help me solve problems. Part of the process of solving problems, for me at least, is to write code that executes, and spend some time in the debugger to see if my assumptions were right. The computer is a tool for solving problems, dammit! It is ridiculous to think that you should solve the problem using pencil and paper (b/c computers no good for problem solving!?!), with various mathematical proofs (b/c we can and should prove everything?!?) and the computer is just an annoying end point for getting solutions out.

Programming is not just about implementing solutions, but also about finding solutions.

Ask HN: What would you do?
Imagine this:

You are 30.

No Family, pets or friends and no attachments besides a 6 month lease on a tiny studio apartment and a full time job that pays $56k a year after taxes.

No possessions besides your laptop, mobile phone, a guitar you can't play and clothes/shoes.

You have only $10k in savings.

You have mediocre programming skills.

What would you do to achieve financial independence in the next 10-15 years?
As far as i understand, traditionally, meditation isn't about simply shutting down your mind as a whole. it is about:
1) Concentration (shutting down NOISE)
2) Shutting down thoughts from one source (or chaotic sources) to open up your mind to a particular source (some traditions mean opening up to ur inner self while others mean opening up to a higher source)

So the aim is to stop thinking random thoughts not for the sake of "no brain activity" but for a SPECIAL form of brain activity, which some traditions call "revelations"
It has to do with privacy. Germans are quite fond of keeping up personal information personal, and they just don't want that bank can keep track of their purchases. That's the main reason why people here prefer cash as a method of payment.

Of course, when paying or order something online, you need to provide your shipping address anyways, so credit cards brings at least a benefit of possible dispute if anything goes wrong.

Interesting because this is a rarely reported consequence. It seems no one would object to have denser grey matter, but if it is thinner somewhere, it feels like you lost something.
I disagree. Do you know who is going to buy stripe? No. You could very well end up in worst hands.

At least with Paymill you are clear on what you get. We have seen their execution already.

I don't use Gnome so it doesn't matter to me but...

> Having two completely separate mechanisms for copy-paste (not talking about the UI, but the underlying clipboard/selection) genuinely is confusing. It's never consistent across applications. Will I be able to middle-click paste from this web browser to that terminal, or from this emacs to that Skype window? Or do I need to select + Ctrl-Insert in this terminal to copy to that other window.

In my experience, middle click is an X thing and is the only thing generally guaranteed to work practically everywhere.

For this reason, it seems not justifiable to me.
c.f Jef Raskin's idea of the 'monotonous' interface, i.e. an interface in which common actions could be performed in one way only, and that one way could be predicted from context reliably. He thought that the result would be an interface that is easy to learn quickly.

And that raises the old issue of 'experts' with the interface wanting more control.

I actually like Gnome Shell, but I can see how a decision making process that depends on what one developer thinks is good for users may have problems in the longer term...

Drugs, yes. Own made up rules, yes. Otherwise, not so much. No human trafficking, no slums, and the authorities are neither corrupt nor underpowered. They just largely choose to ignore them and let them get on with what they do (I say largely, because that's not always the case; every few years they have some crackdown or other).
"Designed by Apple in California" is a slogan. I get what you are saying, but I disagree. The whole "Jobs is dead, so is Apple" idea that has been portrayed in the press warrants a response from post-Jobs Apple. This is it. Its in a very similar vein to the "Think Different" campaign actually.

I have just one question for everyone: Would you guys use something like [HashPix][1] instead, if it were made available as an alternative?

If not, I'll stop working on/maintaining it and devote my time to other pursuits - preferably ones that might bring in some money eventually.

> PHP doesn't have deep pattern matching, because PHP is not Haskell :) But it has destructuring matching for arrays, and that's what list() is doing.

Yes, the problem is that it's not generic, it's only for arrays, and for the ones with numerical indexes (?) only. When introducing a special syntax for destructuring, why not make it possible to destructure other kinds of data, like hash tables? It's one-off special case instead of a generic language feature. In CoffeeScript you can destructure objects as well as arrays, so it's possible for languages other than Haskell. In both in CS and Python destructuring can be used in any position assigment can, including functions formal arguments lists and (in Python) exception handlers. That's a consistent usage of language feature; a 'list' keyword is a hack. I'm not saying it's not convenient to have or that it should have some special syntax instead of a keyword - not at all - just saying that it should be consistently used in the language and well supported by it.

> Because they are absolutely and completely different things. Iterators are sequential-access abstraction, arrays are random-access abstraction. Why wouldn't there be a difference?

But arrays do offer sequential access. The question is this: if both arrays and iterators offer (parts of) the same functionality, why is access to this functionality not uniform? What I'm talking about is this:

"OO brings with it an iterator interface that parts of the language (e.g., for...as) respect, but nothing built-in (like arrays) actually implements the interface. If you want an array iterator, you have to wrap it in an ArrayIterator. There are no built-in ways to chain or slice or otherwise work with iterators as first-class objects."

I'm not sure if it's still the case? If it is, then it's another inconsistency which shouldn't be there.

> Those are not design problems, those are "everything should look exactly like one language I already learned" problems.

I agree that most of the criticism is either unfounded or comes from novice programmers. Novice programmers tend to be loyal to their language of choice to the point of not seeing good points of other languages. I think that most of experienced programmers, however, are already past this stage, with many known languages they can compare and contrast PHP with. It needs to be a fair comparison - I'm not trying to compare PHP with for example strongly staticly typed, functional or concurrent languages. But PHP is a dynamic, scripting language and as such comparing it with Ruby, Python, JavaScript and CoffeeScript, Lua, Perl, Scheme, Clojure, Io, Smalltalk and a few others is feasible. And it's not favorable for PHP, unless we count extra-language features, like community, libraries, ease of deployment and so on. I accept that, with these things in mind, PHP comes like a solid choice and a good language. Based on a in-language features, however, not so much.
