A big part of my dislike for this is that this isn't going to teach anyone how photography "used to work" or anything like that. It's a toy.

I work in a darkroom, I have a lot of experience processing film by hand and making prints. I know a bit about it.

This seriously looks designed by someone who has never spent more than two hours in a darkroom. Encouraging people to set up tiny darkrooms in closets or wherever they can with trays of open chemistry, is a bit irresponsible.

Here's the MSDS for Ilford Multigrade, the developer they recommend: http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/2007117133512849.pdf
And for the Rapid Fix:
http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/2012430120381541.pdf
It's not super dangerous stuff, but you still need to take some reasonable precautions with it.

And that tray rack? Anyone who has ever worked in a darkroom would never think of stacking trays like that. You need to pick up the print from the chemistry and let the excess drip off before moving to the next tray--this setup is going to be having people spilling photo chemistry all over the place, in a room with no ventilation. Smart.

All the text on the indiegogo site just sets off my rage. Everything at Ilford is not "vintage technology", they have been churning out new products for years. And this? "Old school print development makes every print slightly different, due to microscopic imperfections in the silver halide coating on paper and the chemical reaction that turns parts of the coating black or grey." This is just plain wrong.

This isn't preserving analogue photography. It's trying to sell the idea of being a darkroom. The indiegogo has lots of text about red light bulbs (most darkrooms use amber lights, but I digress), prints hanging on a line, the smell of chemicals, but almost no examples of what the prints made with this thing look like. Why? Because that's not the point.
> I'm struggling to think of the person who needs both a printed copy of a book and an ebook version.

Think no further. Because it's me. I've explicitly held off from buying a Kindle because it meant having to always choose between print and ebook.

Sometimes I want to curl up with a book. Sometimes I want the convenience of an ebook. And I never want to have to make the choice about what kind of material gets relegated to one or the other experience.

I like the way books look, feel, smell and sound. I also like the option of always having accessible my entire collection digitally.

Now it looks like my problem is (partially) solved - at least sufficiently enough that I'm now going to buy a Kindle.
The classic google maps lets you do this with any number of points. Just the new maps removed this feature:

In other words, it's gambling.

Most gamblers don't weigh the EV on each bet. Most are just riding the high, or hoping to hit 21...

There's a reason Vegas has all those fancy hotels, and it's not because gamblers are mastering EV.
That's a good point, but in this case it's questionable since Google has been specifically naming their OS's after candy.
That article is filled with racist vitriolic nonsense. Any real issues are swept aside with the anger broom so she can make room for her profane fury. Why would I ever engage a person that acts like that in debate, man or woman?
The lesson here, for me, is that popular posts on HN aren't exactly a treasure trove. I'm not complaining about the money, but I'm somewhat underwhelmed. But you're probably spot on about the playbook.
Even without GPS, the cell phone position can often be triangulated by the tower itself.

That even has a compelling public safety justification (911 calls) so it wouldn't surprise me if phone companies were already doing that as a matter of course.
Another interesting cocoon, linked to from the comments: http://blog.perunature.com/2013/06/the-incredible-urodid-mot...

Instead of hiding, the caterpillar builds an open-air net-like structure which hangs by a thread from the bottom of a leaf. The video hypothesizes that the structure both protects the pupa from ants and allows rain to flow through it (both of which seem like critical features in the Amazonian rainforest).

Also, it looks really cool.

Can we please not start this flamewar again? It's been done to death and there's nothing new to be said.
My analogy was to provide a stepping stone towards understanding why you aren't an island and, yes, that your success depends on EVERYONE as a whole. Not just specific people.

I used to be an libertarian, so I crafted my analogy to appeal to the self-made Only I Deserve The Sweat Of My Brow type of person. As programmers, we live in a bubble. We tend to think we are smarter than everyone else. We forget we are in the same boat as everyone else. And if we look around, we are sinking. We just happen to be in the crows nest, so we have a while til we will have to worry.

Society is not a voluntary cooperation. It has fees and dues. If you feel collecting those fees and dues are against your morals, then please pay back what you've taken and exit society to stop reaping its fruits.

WRT to your point. The non-aggression principle is a well thought out red herring. Guess what happens if you violate a contract? Guess what happens if you are the wrong side of a property dispute? Guess what happens if you violate court orders?

You can complain about the monopoly of force, but it is better than the alternative. That force keeps you from being stripped of your possessions by the masses. That force ensures you can do honest business. What do you think keeps people from holding a gun to your head and taking everything you've got?

If the government didn't ensure corporations property rights and ability to collect dues, do you honestly think they wouldn't be enforced through the guns of a private entity? One that has no accountability to the public? Today, we see the rise of private security agencies as the wealth gap increases.

You are taking from society and then stubbornly trying to find any way to not give up some of your bounty.

You are essentially stealing, and complaining that it will get you in trouble with the government. The same exact thing will happen if you work at an Apple store and take a new iMac, because you sold ten today therefore deserve to take one home. You will end up in jail in both cases.

You do have a choice in paying taxes just as you have a choice in stealing that computer. You can leave society, just as you can leave the Apple store. Don't complain when men with guns try to stop you if you go ahead and steal.

We have tried having private entities handle what governments govern. It was disastrous. It was business as usual.

If people don't pay taxes and dissolve government, then infrastructure will crumble. Violent factions will arise. Warlords and fiefdoms will manifest. Businesses will escape the hostile and uncertain landscape. We will look like Somalia did a few years ago. Thankfully, government has restored some order to the area as of recently.

Worst of all, it maximises for suffering. Even today, when we do have programs in place by the government to address social issues, suffering is rampant. How can you fail to see this? And if you do, how can you defend the maximization of suffering so you can save some pennies?
C-/ is also undo, which is arguably easier to reach :)

I like your version better.

After all, in modern society we delegate an awful lot of stuff. Shoe making to shoe makers, security to police and military, health care to doctors, teaching to teachers, etc. etc. etc. The stuff we delegate is so close to 100% of our lives, the actual difference is lost in the noise.

On top of that, the little that most people do control is meaningless to their own lives. You do customer support at Big Widget Factory Inc. How is that relevant to you?

Probably home schooling is also an offshoot of this phenomenon.
The hardware upgrade doesn't look that impressive - I'm happy with the current papewhite. The pageflip UI looks like it could be useful, as that's one of the few UI complaints I have with the kindle.

Personally I find the FreeTime feature to be the most interesting, or maybe amusing. They're gamifying reading, but I suppose parents were doing that already (read X books, get Y).

Now if only they'd fix hyphenation and justification, or make it easy to enable ragged right text I'd be happy. Currently I have to reformat everything in calibre before I read it.

Sure, these are common values. But damaging values. When people learn to defer things for future gains, they get the chance to improve their lot in life, or the lot of their children. But blowing it all on lotto tickets with a pack of cigs and a forty isn't doing anyone any good.
On that note, I'd love a Google Maps feature to see duration along the route so I can see where I'll be around lunch and dinner time on a road trip.
Yeah, it's alarming to hear that even with millions of apps, you're seeing such a huge difference between iOS and Android sales. I'm going to change my future development plans if this is the reality for everyone.

I find it annoying because there'll be little specs of dust, dirt, or hair, and removing them requires careful movement or I'll page turn.

Also, has anyone noticed that the rendering gets slightly messed up (bolder) if you bring up a prompt, like the built-in dictionary? After it disappears, the area it covers has different font weight from the rest of the page, making me turn back and forth to reset it. Rather annoying.
If Blackberry goes into liquidation the customer base breaks more or less like the market and WP get's .1% market share. Otherwise if they buy BB and can hang onto half of those customers. That would almost double WP's market share. Those customers are worth more to also ran WP than anyone else.
I agree—this game is really frustrating because it's difficult to see the barriers. Challenging games are often frustrating, don't disagree with you there - but this particular flavor of challenge isn't really fun. I'd prefer "it came too fast" or "it was moving and hit me" to "the wall looked just like the opening." I definitely got better after my first few plays at discerning the walls from the openings, but it took me a few tries to even realize that that's why I was dying. I imagine many people will give up before I did.
This is super cool! I can't tell you how many times I've been driving between LA and San Diego or LA and San Francisco, and just wanted to find a coffee shop, edible food, or even a gas station. For all the things Google maps is great at, this is not one of them (despite some of the comments here to the contrary). Great work, and if you'd care for some unsolicited advice, a mobile optimized version would make this a killer roadtrip companion, and if you wanted to, you could certainly wrap it in an app and sell it.
Also, if there is some common code between the examples, include this near the start as scaffolding for the examples. This way the examples are leaner, yet still runnable.
The difference here is Google requires you to give a specific location (e.g., an "instance" of McDonalds), whereas my tool helps you decide which location to stop at when there are many workable options along your route.
Ask HN: Progressive Enhancement is gone?... What about crawlers and SEO?
Thats great we've moved to javascript client side frameworks and tossed away rendering everything server side, but what has always held me back is the fact that search-engines can't index my pages. Lack of SEO is major downside. Have I missed something here?
That seems rather shortsighted. Its not immediately important, but if Microsoft can establish and dominate in the Latin American market, then when that market begins to bring all of their citizens into the smartphone era (they're moving rapidly this way), Microsoft will be well positioned.

In fact, were they clever, MS would position themselves well in all of the non-1st-world markets (Indian sub-continent, Central America, South America, Africa, Asia). Its like playing Risk, they've got America, Europe, and Australia, but you can still hold on with the others.

And now you know why David Simon was one of the few people speaking up about why PRISM wasn't really a big deal, as he has seen firsthand the effect of the War of Drugs on minorities through his work on The Wire.

If the government should have the power to do these types of investigations (and the people keep voting people in who are 'Tough on Crime' so apparently they feel the government should have that power...), then at least the NSA's abuses are essentially equal opportunity with some form of judicial oversight applied. Minorities don't seem to even get that much when we're talking about DEA, FBI, etc.

The external scripts should instead be loaded securely, or using the same protocol as the main page.
Depends, the Arch wiki is great, there is/was the German ubuntuusers.de wiki and of course Wikipedia, but none of these are designed to teach you the basics, they are references. By contrast, for tutorials the state of wikis is quite often tutorial 1-3 is great and the rest just missing.
