Going "off the rails" is, I believe, a fair response. It's easy to call out anger when it's a response the relentless passive oppression. But anger is the correct response. Often it's the only way to break through the heavy repressive blanket of faux-politeness.

Otherwise, I agree with you =D
OP may want to partner with lodging sites - road-weary travelers may
not know where they will want to spend the night until late in the
day, and the less expensive motel choices are often in smaller towns
on their route, so a "search along route" function can be more
useful than tools like Around Me with a "search around placename"
function that requires iteration over many placenames.

I tried "Boston Market" between San Mateo and San Jose, and got 7 results,
of which 2 were Boston Market locations, 1 a Harry's Hofbrau, 2 more
are probably restaurants, and 2 appear to be unrelated.

Trying Boston Market "without quotes" produced many more results,
including all the above, and also "Putnam Lexus," "Intel Capital,"
"eBay," "Aol," and, more tellingly, the "Fish Market" near Fry's in PA.

So, users should employ double quotes in multi-word searches,
and be selective in choosing from the results.

No being a computer scientist I have to admit I do not appreciate the intricacies of the 'problems with SQL' blog entries. But working with htsql I gotta say it seems a lot more intuitive than SQL. It feels like the logic correspond much better to my mental model. And that there is much less of the jumping up and down the code to nest my SQL code logic that I find myself doing all the time.

Is there a way to install this on a PostgresQL instance on Win8?
Love it.

But Yubikey support as well please.
Thanks! That's why I love HN job board - if the posting doesn't strictly mention "no remote", it is almost always possible to negotiate.

Haha, same thing happened to me. I strolled on down to the vending machine and bought one a few minutes ago. I haven't had one in months, maybe years but hey it's pretty good.
1. In your free time find something that you genuinely like to do and start doing it. Figure out how to make money at it.

2. Save up a bunch of money.

3. Quit and go do #1 full-time.
I haven't seen a paper/foil packaged kitkat in years, and this is in the UK. It seems they've abandoned it completely, which is saddening.
I'm not really qualified to say, but isn't modern ARM also quite horrific from osdev point of view. At least x86 has some sort of standards imposed by intel, but with ARM every manufacturer is doing it's own thing with the peripheral functions. Wasn't that what Linus was complaining some time back that Linux ARM support files are blowing up because there is too little code shared between platforms?
You're a fool if you think Kit Kat isn't also conspiring with the NSA.
Okay, makes sense, then correct my statement to: "The same people who participate on the KitKat Facebook fanpage." Now that's really pointless, unless you want to complain ;)

Seriously, I think the websites of candy or Coca Cola and similar consumer products are probably visited by people who want to participate in some sort of lottery or want to get some coupons. Maybe these people just check their favorite brands' websites once in a while for new coupons/prizes.
I would tend to agree. The problem would then come back to the terminal emulators. I would miss out on keys like tab complete, home, end, del, and others. Not essential for vim, but definitely for CLI.

You would intensify the pursuit of criminal prosecution of people who find themselves addicted to prescription painkillers?

An addiction to morphine is really little different than an addiction to heroin, except society has a greater understanding of addiction to morphine as an illness, not a crime. Treating morphine abusers like we treat heroin users would be devastating to society. It would be a ludicrously senseless step backwards. Your perspective on drug use is absolutely insane.

Chromebook Review: Living with Chrome OS was Hell
This "dropped phone" search in interesting. This could be the most dangerous aspect of this program.

Chances are little scientific research was done on the accuracy. What is the false positive rate? Are there policies and procedures in place to determine if the phones actually matched the individual? This can't be done without the voice data.

Are the analysts savvy enough about the limitation of the underlying algorithms?

If these questions have not been addressed, it's possible innocent people have been prosecuted.
Anecdotal but I know a surprising amount of technically illiterate (perhaps too mean) people with jailbroke iphones.

Oh man, I wish I knew. Have you noticed this one? You're editing a wrapped paragraph, you use the right-arrow key to move, and once you're at the end of -any- line, it suddenly jumps down to the "..." (the toggle for displaying the quoted message).

(Also, why hide the formatting bar...)
Just play with the arrow keys, way easier.
>>- What are the reasons people decide to start a new OS development project?

They want to learn how to do it the hard way, they have ideas on how to do it better or just differently, why not?

>>- Why to maintain your own open source OS, and not to adapt or contribute to an existing OS?

Installed base became meaningless after the iPhone changed the game. Everybody started out at 0% of a brand-new market -- including Nokia. That's why it's known as disruptive innovation.

Nokia's mistake wasn't in killing Symbian for smartphones in 2011. It was in not killing Symbian in 2009 or 2008. But it's hard to give up that market share and start from zero.

In cases of disruption, high market share is actually a disadvantage, because you stick with your existing product longer than you should.

Absolutely. It's not a "the first person who can tell me what this is a picture of gets a prize" thing, it's an "I'm a biologist and I'm genuinely confused about what this is, please help" thing.
I'd like to see more clever marketing and partnerships like this. It is certainly more interesting than bland marketing and targeted ads.

Ask HN: how to handle a non-technical founder?
I work for an online payment provider and the founder of the company is not an engineer and screws up often in production many of which qualify for getting fired.

We have a team of 3 experienced programmers who only clean up his mess and don't have time left to push in new features.

Last week we realized that about a year back he messed up the production keys simply with the excuse that he has too many things to do. Given that we handle money and online security is such a threat, messing up with keys is unacceptable.

I work overtime to bring in an engineering discipline into our coding and release cycle but every time he amazes me with new ways of diluting the team effort.

Not only is unapologetic but repeats the process regardless of our requests.

I know many members here are or have been founders themselves. Please recommend me the best measure taking into account both the engineering teams and the founders perspective.

I didn't downvote. I also didn't think I was being sarcastic, to you at least.

I don't personally live under the false dichotomy that an unending "WAR ON TERROR" is required to suppress terrorism. But nor do I fall into the trope that the solution is to simply let anyone inflict any attack that they wish.

As you say, it is possible to actually fight terrorism without destroying our rights and liberties, and I agree wholeheartedly.

You know I almost mentioned that, but then I had the horrifying thought that he might have had someone on the police beat on his production team and that it may not have been Simon himself with that experience, and I didn't want to spout anything factually incorrect so I left it out completely.

I'm glad to be corrected on that, hopefully I'll remember for the next time it comes up.
Thank you. Installed.

Exactly what I wanted.
It's more than a knee jerk reaction though, there are a lot of reasons to speed up the switch to solar and renewables. Global warming may have been a catalyst, but it was going to happen eventually and they figured sooner rather than later.
"My messages are important, god dammit."

no, they aren't. get over it. The new compose does a great job of framing your sent emails in the way your recipients are probably viewing them: quickly, and often from a small screen/window.
As Unono, mentions, if computers become that smart, "we" (well, the already rich) won't need anyone (you can get educated for free but if computers have taken the jobs, what use is it, etc, etc). But a good new age con-man can convince some portion of people they want his stuff.

TL;DR; Swindlers and the very smart. But mostly swindlers.

Clearly the author is aiming to be one of them.
I've recently decided that aversion to political discussion is a very bad thing. Sorry, it's the price you have to pay to live in a country without warrant-less surveillance, prior restraint, secret laws, and wars on drugs, journalism, hackers, free speech, random oil-rich countries of brown people, etc.
It's not a parody so much as it's coordinated marketing that has thoroughly bewitched Google's target market. If it were a natural parody, I think I'd be more receptive.

What Can We All Learn from Diana Nyad’s Support Team?
This may sound extra paranoid, but I've locked myself out of 2FA'd accounts before and recovery is not fun, so I go out of my way to keep the recovery codes secured but available to me in case of catastrophe.

First, I make an encrypted disk image with a very strong, unique passphrase (easy on OSX, not sure about windows). In this I put the QR setup codes and my recovery codes. I put a copy of this on every device I own, every computer I own, stash it in my home directory on my server, and put it on dropbox. I then share the dropbox copy to two friends, and instruct them to hold on to it in case I lose access to all my devices. Any time I enable 2FA on a new account, like I did today, I update the image and redistribute it.

I previously kept a copy on github as well as dropbox, but now that both are behind 2FA I wouldn't be able to recover from those sources if I lost all my devices. Maybe I should push a copy to pages.github.io under some secret path that only I knew.

Oh, and check out BitTorrent Sync, it makes it really easy to distribute among my computers and phone without worrying about dropbox somehow losing my files or preventing my access.
> I strongly disagree with this view unless you are talking about this server you operate being within your own office network. For anything outside the office/home having to rely on network access, if we are talking about business, simply isn't smart.

I mean precisely that. A server you own on your own private network, connected to remote views via IPSec/L2TP or similar.

Such a model would allow people who are not interested in running their own compute servers to lease capacity on a managed host. But for users with privacy or control needs, we'd run our own servers on our always-on networks.

The model would require progress in network connectivity, bandwidth, and latency. My frustration with modern technology is that many feel we have reached "good enough" plateaus with home networks (and other technologies) and these plateaus postpone the emergence of new ways of computing such as this model I've described.

I feel for 99% of my productivity and entertainment needs, today's network connectivity would more or less suffice using an implementation not far from what we today call "remote desktop" paired with RemoteFX. The chief barrier would be transfer limits imposed by wireless carriers.

If Microsoft were to seriously pursue such a computing model, an evolved version of RemoteFX could bring the remote/mobile experience more in line with local computing.

Reading your message, I think you and I actually agree on a great many things. For example, I too strongly prefer (even) consumption on a high-powered desktop with large displays.

(Also, to be clear, I really enjoy my Surface Pro. My earlier point was just confirming the OP's remark that it's not zen-like. For me, zen-like would mean reducing it to a portable view on my persistent, personal, and omnipresent applications.)
Obama's Tightrope Walk

Of course none have been! :) ... and none will be. Because 90+% of online politics discourse is dominated by trolls. People who want to have actual discussions, and listen to differing opinions, will be driven away en masse.

Leaving the trolls to troll each other. Unfortunately, dog-fooding isn't very popular in the troll world-- so the site dies et voila! Here we are.

> Surely the price of the drug, all else being equal, would strongly correlate to the number of crimes committed to obtain the drug.

You have a good point there. If I was wrong and crack and meth became dirt cheap and there was no long associated violent crime and robbery, to no longer support a war on it I'd have to see that its legality lead to no significant drain on society in other ways. That would include parenting, job performance, accidents / injuries, etc.
Got a source for this? According to the BBC, Google talked directly with Nestle.

adding to this:

- google voice: selecting 'all' only selects displayed items (calls, missed calls, voicemails, etc) so to delete items, you have to click 'all', then 'delete' then 'all' again. If you have 1000 items in your history, it takes 100 clicks to delete them all. Compare that to gmail - you can select every single message not just those displayed.

Having bought a Yubikey last week, I wish that Yubikey was better at TOTP (which I didn't realize that Github used, until posters here corrected me).

Right now there are Windows and Linux add on apps for Yubikey TOTP, but for OS X you have to pay $9 to a third party.

But then, I also wished that Yubikey supported PKCS#11, which looks like it may eventually be coming for the upscale Yubikey NEO.

Yubico is pretty cool in that they made something that is fairly programmable, but the better supported standards are not well supported by defualt.
I'd like to see this offset by average salary in each area, too. Different places pay very different salaries.

Why does VP Sales get paid more than VP Engineering?
They are similar high level positions, just in different departments, but it's pretty common to see VP Sales make at least 20% more than VP Engineering. If software developers really are in short supply and really good ones even more scarce (the type of person that could fill a VP Engineering role), then what explains this disparity?

Not to pick on GeoPalz, but they are one data point that I could easily find that shows this income disparity is: http://www.builtindenver.com/external/node/66881. They have openings for both VP Engineering ($85k-$115k) and VP Sales ($100k-150k)
I infinitely prefer reading a physical book at home, but I love being able to access my Kindle library when I'm out and about.

But it must be a Nestle KitKat. Here in the U.S. you can find them in specialty stores. Its worth it.

Or maybe set up a camera to take pictures every couple of minutes. Sometimes removing these things from their environment may prevent them from hatching.
> Both deserve criticism, and we should not curtail criticism of PRISM just because the War on Drugs isn't getting nearly the criticism it deserves.

I would agree that both deserve equitable argumentation.

However the choices appear to be to completely upend the way the legal system and law enforcement handles investigations (which the people have voted against time after time), or to keep the systems that exist and tighten the oversight and transparency.

I suppose your choice on that will fall towards whether you are more distrustful of the government or crooks. But essentially the same logic would appear to apply to both.

I am going off the bottom of the page (http://cubox-i.com), where it says it is limited to 470 Mb/sec due to internal busses.

470 Mb/sec sounds too similar to USB 2 to not be USB 2.

Actually did the right thing and looked at the datasheets involved: http://cache.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/data_sheet/IMX6DQ...

and

http://cache.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/errata/IMX6DQCE.p...

This seems to be an internal limitation of the bus. It is not run over USB! This means it will most likely reach that 400 Mbps claimed in the errata:

Quote:

ERR004512 ENET: 1 Gb Ethernet MAC (ENET) system limitation Description:
The theoretical maximum performance of 1 Gbps ENET is limited to 470 Mbps (total for Tx and Rx). The actual measured performance in optimized environment is up to 400 Mbps.
Projected Impact:
Minor. Limitation of ENET throughput to around 400 Mbps. ENET remains fully compatible to 1Gb standard in terms of protocol and physical signaling.
Huh? You can buy them at any corner gas station.
As did I. It's not fun when I don't even know what I did wrong. Sometimes even after I fail I can't really tell how I was supposed to know what the proper path was because it all looks so similar.

I think it really depends on how you do it.

I find that I get annoyed by sites that use scrolling as a means to navigate between sections that aren't really sequential. Something like a product page with Features, Tech Specs, Pricing, etc. those are things I want to be able to navigate to in a nonlinear way.

If you have content that lends itself to serialization or whatever you want to call it, the scrolling effects work a lot better. At that point, it just becomes an embellishment - because the user already expects to be scrolling.
