Excellent: 38 days autonomy. Some people favor that. Make it ip67, and this could be a hit. There is plenty of room there in the market.
Reminds me of the classic James Stewart film Call Northside 777 [1], about two Chicago men falsely imprisoned for a murder during Prohibition. The real-life case it was based on ([2]) hinged on a witness identification that occurred a day after the same witness had not recognized the suspect just after arrest; the police then recorded the suspect has having been arrested the second day and omitted the failure from the record.

Both men stayed in prison until a newspaper reporter discovered the case, just as in this article; in fact, one of the men was not released until several years after the movie was made.

When a review of a case finds that the prosecution knowingly withheld evidence that actually proved the client could not have been there, the facts pretty much speak for themselves. This should have led directly to criminal charges.
Indeed, from a content creator standpoint - I wouldn't care if the image got removed after you'd seen it since I would of already got the impression.
How much is it?
Yeah, a typo can explain the total percentage issue.

But I don't see how wrong it would be to use the pie graph in such a way per se. IMHO, the foremost feature of pie graphs, the angle of sector, is kept.
Consequently PayPal make no shortage of effort to get you to add your bank account.

I'm surprised they don't allow people to transfer money to you (and then force you to connect your bank account to get the money).
This is a pointless challenge, because it has none of the characteristics of an actual ad.

For tracking, security, and analytics reasons, ad providers almost always originate ads from a separate domain than the content provider's.
> To be fair, we don't know if the government can actually convict someone of closing a business.

The Thirteenth Amendment makes it pretty clear you can't force a person to work, unless they've been convicted of a crime. There may be an argument that he violated the NSL, but that's not the same thing.

Exactly. It's easy to get a computer to track everyone automatically, but really expensive to hire people to track everyone simultaneously.

You'll stand out more to a human observer, but to a computer you'll be invisible.

Or you could just have really dark skin. That usually works just as well. (Example: http://www.gamespot.com/news/kinect-has-problems-recognizing...)
What a great tool! I will definitly use this to structure my lecture notes! (Topic > Sub-Topic > Definition/List)

Some political/philosophical frameworks are extraordinarily resistant to frank discussion. Down-voting and shouting-out are the way that proponents of those frameworks deal with any uncomfortable questions that may at all detract from their presupposed conclusions.

Even though your comment was really innocuous, it implied that maybe the study was wrong. Maybe hard work and intelligence are the prime factors in success vs what happens to be in your bank account at the moment. Some people can't handle even that implication.

Ask HN: Interesting ideas for a weekend project?
Looking for interesting things to do over the Labor Day weekend.

CS Student. Done a mix of web, Python & Java.

I have a couple ideas, but would love to hear your thoughts.

- HN seems to love their functional languages. Learn Lisp?
- I'm a Emacs user. Write an emacs plugin?
- Have a Leap Motion, Raspberry Pi, and Apple TV sitting around. But no idea what to do with them.
- iPhone user. Learn Objective-C and write an app?
- Oh-My-Zsh plugin with ExplainShell

Thoughts? Additions?
Agreed, I think I enjoyed his talk last year more than this year even. Really imparted some ideas I try to apply to how I engineer software.
I tend to disagree.
Specially the Indo-European[1] family of languages and even more with the ones which are mostly phonetic. Most of the these languages have rules which you can mug-up and get used to in no time(ok a few months). I would assume learning a language which is pictorial in nature probably will be way more difficult and requires you to completely immerse yourself into it. The ruleset of all Indo-European languages is surprisingly common with varying degrees of sophistication but if you know one of these languages, then it is easier to learn others. But yeah, it probably wouldn't work if you speak none of these langauages.

I wish I had internet and wikipedia when I was in school.

Absolutely.

"If you're trying to found a company and get venture funding from Americans, you need to be able to communicate well with Americans. No one is saying there's a correct way to speak anything, but it's obvious Paul Graham is talking about founders going for an American market."

However a big part of startup accelerator is about helping the founders gain the skills needed to be successful. No reason communicating well with Americans shouldn't be one of those skills that help is given for.

"That's just straight out wrong, sorry to say. There are plenty of cases of one way unintelligibility in ALL parts of the world, in many languages. English is no exception, just consider the stereotype of American tourists being confounded by Australian or England-English."

Yes it can be mostly a one way problem but there will always be subtle problems in both directions. I'm a UK native and have been living in the US for many years married to an American wife. We still come across words or phrases that confuse each other.
Actually you're talking about the medical definition whereas he's using the colloquial definition. I agree that the mismatch is unfortunate and perpetuates stereotypes about the medical definition, but he isn't wrong to use the word like that, according to the dictionaries I've checked.
Far far better idea: cancel all existing registrations and reopen it at 10am next Wednesday. If the system doesn't support that, then say you will be "reregistering" people by hand and the first x to be at your office at 10am Wednesday are in. Doesn't fuck over an entire semester for people. Was really easy to come up with. If you really wanted good ideas you could have asked the class in the first session or on your blog and surely someone would have had a better idea than your horrific plan to make everyone hate you and the class.
Yeah, like zombo.com...wait, that never got old :)
Updated, not the cleanest way to do it but indeed adding a dummy image as the first child should stop it.
It's great to have a film insider's take on this.

The screenplay examples do only go up to the "scene card" level, but we plan to have more columns so you could add the script there as well. That way you could go start-to-finish, or have overviews as well.

> I do think this would very useful for film students doing analysis.

Interesting, thanks.

A question: would this be useful for pitching a film? Say if there were concept art sections, character descriptions, and additional notes, as well as the script itself (from logline down to linear form) ??

> BTW I also feel that if you offer people the opportunity to try it, you should let them try it

Again, sorry about this. It's what we've got, and we're trying to make the best of it.
Bulk Register (eNom) puts bogus products in your cart when you purchase a domain like 'free' trials of cloud storage or automatic mobile website generation EVERY single time you buy or renew a domain name. If you miss the fact that they snuck it in there, they start billing you after a month. Just a crappy way to do business.
Most of the complications in the tax code are not in the name of helping the poor.
The joke has been going on for quite some time now - Lisp and related languages use Polish Notation everywhere.

(The main benefit is that (R)PN is parenthesis-free, so it makes it easier for a calculator to process expressions with multiple operators. The use in programming languages is nonexistent but to make clear that +, *, .. are just like any other function call, where you would naturally use polish notation.)

You seem to have some terminology problems here. Windows VirtualAlloc may "commit" memory but that does not mean it actually reserves physical pages [1]. That always happens only when the memory is accessed. On the other hand, MSVC's malloc() probably uses HeapAlloc(), which in turn uses VirtualAlloc(). I don't think there are any fundamental differences between Linux and Windows here.

Correct, it isn't supposed to be used with ad providers that Adblock may (or may not) already block, it's supposed to work with internal ads that would come from the same domain as the content providers.
Great, thanks for the feedback Zemi.

We have the ability to filter, using the Search feature. You can just type @tags, and searching them will hide all cards that don't containt that text.

Let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions.
Took me a couple months to reliably understand my first landlord in Boston, a 3rd or 4th generation American of Italian ancestry.
Or, here's a crazy idea: how about we actually allocate the memory when you call malloc(), and if there isn't any, give you an error instead? Programs could check the return code and decide what to do when they run out of memory themselves. Crazy, I know.
I chose it intentionally. "Defensiveness" is not what I meant.
With a camera on it, wouldn't it be more of a "feature phone"?

Looks very slick, whatever you call it.

Feature phone is a euphemism for dumb phone.
For those that didn't catch it, Jay is using a mock version of the anti-gun argument in his response here. I'm pretty sure his views aren't that at all (but a part of me is terrified to think that someone will use his response as a defense for crypto to not be in normal users' hands, taking what he said completely out of context)
This is an arms race situation. The winner is simply the last one to move. I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to implicitly say, but it was already pretty clear that the whole ad removal thing was an arms race. It's obvious that neither side can Win Forever.

I just listened to this last night: http://www.thestory.org/stories/2013-06/scott-hornoff

An innocent cop went to prison for 6 years until the murderer came forward with a confession. There was basically no evidence to put him away, but he was having an affair with the victim at the time, which made him suspect number one. The part that really upset me was that he was basically unemployable after he came out. He was awarded $600k in backpay when released, but $200k went to his lawyer and the rest to his ex-wife.
In what scenario do you want external scripts to be modified? Why not take advantage of their ability to serve the scripts while also verifying that they are the same scripts you expected to have? You can also verify that those scripts do not load any other scripts in the version you have. Then, if it's changed later to load more scripts, you'll know about it.

How is checking the validity of the scripts that run on your site madness??
You don't get a prize, he's working WITH HN on an experiment.
I agree with some of the negative comments (as of a month ago). I found a phonegap/angular/firebase app of mine kept crashing when angularfire was injected, so I just hand-did the requests.

The good thing is that firebase and angular are good enough that I was able to hand-wire things in like 5 lines.
Such is life. This is a requirement not just for startups, but for success in pretty much any field which isn't solitary by nature. That encompasses most businesses, including climbing the corporate ladder if that's your thing.
Okay, I'm glad you're interested.

By the way I wonder if a reputation system necessarily contributes to a circle-jerk, I mean a culture that tends to make everyone think in the same way, so that they'll get more upvotes.

I completely disagree. Where should I plug my microphone and my headphones ? Where should I plug my usb stuff ?

Only the mouse, the keyboard and the mouse are usually easy to access, the desktop tour is usually not. If I'm occupying a lot of space on my desk with a keyboard, I want it to be more than just a typing block. Believe me, I tried keyboards with jack plugs and usb sockets and it's amazing how a simple "evolution" they are.

As for the volume wheel, it's the best way to control the volume and the keyboard is the natural place to put it, where would you put it if not on the keyboard? On the screen?
I love the tool, though it'd be great if the editing windows support full-screen mode. Writing in a small grid is a pain.

This works assuming assuming OP doesn't change the page again:

// First clear the interval assigned to window
var highestTimeoutId = setTimeout(";");
for (var i = 0 ; i < highestTimeoutId ; i++) {
clearTimeout(i);
}
// Then empty the script tag
$('script').eq(3).empty();
// Then hide the image;

Just an FYI: for me this demo only works in Google Chrome desktop. It didn't work in Chrome on Nexus 7, nor in Conkeror(Firefox) on desktop.
It's not funny unless it's a malapropism.
Yes, I concur. It was a poorly constructed sentence, as well as baiting.
He's not denying that the challenge was met, he's setting another challenge on top of that. It's like reverse Ruby Koans. You don't complete the first challenge then declare your learning done, the challenge keeps building.
Interesting idea. Can you make it so that when I click in the card it automatically goes into edit mode? Having to click an "edit" button really slows things down.
There's no reason normal citizens need high-strength crypto.

You seem to think that normal citizens have no need to hide things. I deem this assumption to be false. Witness "normal" citizens in various foreign countries with opprosive regimes whose very lives require they hide things.
Interesting...it indeed shows up on reload.
Understood. We're planning on adding offline support, and a "Chrome Packaged App" version, so you could use Gingko offline entirely, and our servers will never touch your data.

As for the format, we simply export to flat Markdown. We will be supporting other formats (including XML, and the OPML standard for hierarchical/outline text).

Thanks for your feedback!
There are many reasons for a speaker to not communicate in an understandable way : heavy accent, speech impediment, lack of articulation, inability to articulate thoughts, etc. Why focus on the cultural accent to make your point, rather than stating the root cause : lack of sufficient verbal communication skills? The fact that you seemed to put a heavy foreign accent as the main cause of bad communication does seem a little xenophobic.
I know you don't get a prize, but a challenge is one specific thing. This is a new challenge now.
HA! that looks awesome. Somewhat similar in looks to the LG Glance[1] that I had as my last "dumb-phone". Of which, I will say I loved the ergonomics, battery life, and durability of that phone. Honestly, the only real data function I require on my phone these days is maps... I would be very tempted to drop the data plan on go this direction. A bit pricey though, I would still probs go with a $25 phone over $150 anyway....

Manwin Montreal (pornhub,brazzers, basically all the relevant porn sites) is always looking for people. From what I can tell we ship in a lot of guys from other countries. The HR team seems to be on top of that.

Good luck.
If these nodes are standardized, then the flaws in them are also standardized, which could make automated monitoring just as easy...
Moreover, if the gray ad were representative of the state of advertising on the internet, I highly suspect that less people would spend too much effort in blocking advertisements.

My ideal ad-blocking solution turns the popover, popunder, rollover-expanding, shouting at the top of their heads to get your attention advertisements into something as innocuous as that 'nasty' gray ad. I don't have a problem trading my eyeballs for a product, but I do have a problem when your ad takes over my browser, makes the page unusable, or is generally a pain in the ass.

Of course, my fix there isn't to use an adblocker, it's just to block the site altogether.
I'm not sure how I feel about helping OP create un-blockable ads.
Or dumb phone is a glib neologism for feature phone.

You can double-click the card to go into edit mode.

Single click would be easier, but since we have drag-and-drop, and sometimes use clicking just for navigation, we have to use double-click to edit.

(unless you have a better approach in mind?)

PS: Also, once you get used to them, the keyboard shortcuts lets you navigate & edit pretty quickly.
To a limited capacity. If you're looking for:

console.log('this is in the document');
go(function() { console.log('this is in a web worker'); });

I'd recommend against it. Even if you can toString() the function passed to go() and load that into a worker, you'd not carry the function's closure, which I think is too complex.

var x = 5;
go(function() { console.log('x = '+x); });
// => x = undefined

Could be done, but I'd rather stick with paradigms that fit the language more closely.
Does not it look fat to you ?
I would expect such a phone to be much slimmer than today's smartphone. I do get that the battery takes space, but still. Wasn't the RaZor much slimmer ?
Except that there are many root causes for bad communication. Why choose to fixate on a foreign accent as the only or at least largest cause?
'l' is made with the tongue starting at the top of the mouth and striking the bottom, 'r' the tongue stays at the bottom, and the Japanese 'l/r' has the tongue at the top but touching the back of the teeth and it pulls away but it doesn't hit the bottom of the mouth. If you put your finger in your mouth and hold your tongue down you can still make an 'r' sound, but 'l' is impossible, as is 'l/r'.

Is there any reason it can't be used elsewhere? You could repurpose the solution into your own project and do something less trivial.
Do you have a newsletter or other way I could sign up to be notified of updates?

This hits a lot of points that I've been looking for in an app/service. So much so that I was ready to sign up for the paid plan after trying this out for a couples minute, because I'm sure I'd use it enough to be worth it. But I didn't realize the three-levels limitation, and that prevents this from being useful enough to me to start using it.

I'd love to check it out again when you do add infinite nesting.
Yes, that's a feature we have planned. Similar to the "Zen mode" in github.

That will let you write a group of cards as one flow, and it'll split it into individual cards once you leave fullscreen.

The YC model would work quite neatly here surely?
AngularFire is alpha quality, I'm definitely dumping it. On server stab it's not abjectly unusable but it's definitely not confidence inspiring. I had 4 or 5 times server problems lasting for hours in 1 week (though I think that should've been a 1 time thing), numerous other slow down events throughout my 2 months using it though.

reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known
my words unto you.

calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 1:27 When your fear
cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when
distress and anguish cometh upon you.
