That's not TFA since the piece of paper with the passphrase is not "A thing you have". It's just "another thing you know." and thus brute-foreceable. It's the same as not allowing the user to choose a password but rather generate 12-character random passwords with special chars.

Authentication devices for TFA are designed, so that you really have to have the device close to you when you do a login.

> Besides, branding is "CEO" type work.

Branding is CEO type work. Logo design isn't. Encouraging people to put all their resources into their work is awesome. "Jumping into the trenches" (oh, over the weekend!) isn't what the CEO of a multi-billion company does, it's what an arrogant, career-oriented boss who can't delegate does to compensate for his apparent lack of sufficient involvement.

Leading an agenda of technological innovation is also "CEO" type work, but would you like to do pair programming with the CEO (who hasn't worked on anything longer than a thousand lines in half a decade) on a Sunday evening?

> Hmm, let's see. In the past year, Yahoo!'s stock price is up 91.6%. That's pretty good "initial success".

That's one year. It's something well worth the "initial" mention. That's less than a fifth of the time Carly Fiorina spent at HP, and she also did a lot of important strategic moves.
ou can't a take a network-layer programmer who got laid-off from Cisco and ask that person to work on big data and reasonably expect success

I think you massively underestimate the complexity of routing and equally overestimate the difficulty of "data science" there. I'll wager a guy that can program router firmware can turn his hand to anything.
If you like the feel of Dark Souls, try Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, if you have a Wii U or 3DS. The theme is very different, but the game is very similar in terms of difficulty, crafting, and multiplayer. It also sports, quite literally, the most finely tuned difficulty ramp I have ever come across in a game. Every new challenge will be amazingly tough, yet fair. The boss creatures are very inventive too. It ranks equally with the Souls games for me, which are easily my favourite games in the last 10 years too.
Yes, I could ride it to the office everyday. The bicycle angle is a distraction - I'd want to take the pedals off. But an electric moped is something that is appealing to me.

> but with Yahoo it's just "Oh well, another new Yahoo logo, who cares?"

To be fair, Yahoo didn't change logo for 18 years, according to the OP. It's pretty big news.
"Well, what you can do is ask people who have worked with logo design, won awards for logo design etc."

"Of course, these people may be biased, but at least they have more experience in evaluating logos than others"

This just raises the question of how these experts evaluate a logo.

I understand that academic art criticism [1] has developed frameworks for evaluating works of art - genre, cultural impact, relationship to preceding works, etc. But a logo isn't art - it is almost entirely functional and used for (mundane?) concerns like brand identity. I can appreciate that some logs have existed for long enough that they have a historical context (e.g. Coca-Cola) but I don't see how this helps evaluate its primary purpose.

Any graphic designers want to comment?

Right, the comparison is off. A Tesla is a less polluting car. If we compare this thing to a bicycle, it’s a more polluting one.

As for the Tesla of mopeds, those have been around for years and cost $2500-3500. For example, the Peugeot e-Vivacity, which has a range of 40 miles: http://www.e-vivacity.com/en
All stored on a 1TB external hard drive and backed up every couple of months on a second 1TB hard drive. The oldest of the two hard drives is replaced every 12 months. One is kept in a safe in our home, the other is kept in a safe at a family members home.

Overkill? Maybe but the costs are low and there are some exceptionally precious memories on those drives that I couldn't bear to lose.
I owned the predecessor to that about 10 years ago (it was also a Raleigh, although the battery was on the downtube, not the luggage rack). It was very heavy, but ride-able, although not up hills.

The electric part of it only lasted about an hour, and it took all night to charge. Old school lead-acid thing, very temperamental. The battery was removable, though, so you could leave the bike outside and just bring that in to charge - and you could also ride the bike without carrying it with you everywhere.

Also, it only doubled your input power, IIRC, so you always had to peddle (although it more than made up for itself, weight-wise, on long climbs.)

I didn't make myself clear, most people on both platforms are noobs that don't install much apps (iphone and android) or only the most famous ones. Most noobs I know used to be iphone users too. Remember, in the real world, most people are noobs. As for apps stealing your address book, that happened on iOS too and no one cares but HNers and some tech blogs. Get over it.
I'd far prefer a straight electric motorcycle, especially a dirtbike. It's getting to the point where you could probably have a remote cabin powered by solar/wind locally (or small hydro, etc.), with Ka-band satellite or some kind of fixed wireless, and a well and septic field (or tanked water if portable), with all your vehicles electric powered, and be pretty free to choose your own location.
The key to this is understanding that engineer A is a 10x guy at interfaces and engineer B is a 10x guy at databases yet the way real work happens is that sometimes they will both be working on the interface and sometimes they will both be working on the database. In other words, there are a lot of people who think they're that "10x programmer", and are, but only for a fraction of the scope of a real project.

I used to work with one guy who was an absolute wizard at performance tuning. Helpless as a newborn lamb tho' when it came to setting up a new test environment, he was a 10x guy at what he did, but a 0.1x guy at "restoring last night's backup from tape" despite having all the privs he needed to do it...

I think the $100/y makes sense from Apple's perspective and is probably one of the reasons why there are fewer shitty apps than Google, this along with all of the other confusing stuff they do, like provisioning profiles. It simply scares off the hobby developers who don't really want to build for the platform but rather try it out.
That's a lot of money for a bicycle that is going to require some serious fitness to actually use as a bicycle. I like the idea of an ebike that's reasonable priced, but that's definitely not a bicycle in the traditional sense.

Plus for that much money you could buy a reasonably decent actual bicycle (£1k-2k) and spend some time training. You'll be able to do the range (fuel required; cake goes in mouth) and not be too far off the speed.

The Australian election just keeps on getting better and better. I cannot believe Tony Abbott is actually going to win if the polls are to be believed... I get Kevin Rudd messed up, but I think he was honestly trying his best to right his wrongs after recently becoming leader again. The NBN and the fact Labor aren't for a mandatory Internet filter are two good reasons alone to vote for Labor.

I believe this is Abbott letting his Catholic views get in the way of policy. Much like his opinions on gay marriage and abortion align with that of other Catholics, he's a puppet. And even if Kevin was a puppet, at least he went about hiding it a bit better.

In six months or so people will realise they made a mistake voting for LNP but it'll be too late. Filtering will not only be used to filter adult content, it'll be used to block whatever content Abbott and church/parent groups of Australia want banned. It'll also block legitimate content as the test run of a filter a little while ago actually showed.

This is just the beginning. A filter is nothing compared to what Abbott will be capable of doing in his position of power. He is hell-bent on proving a point by rescuing the economy by taking dirty lobbyist money in exchange for a few lax laws and blocked sites here and there.

I'm sorry, but 6000€ is way too expensive. I really think there is a market for a not-too-expensive electric small vehicle (with two or four wheels). But it really should be under 4000€.
In France, Renault sells the Twizy, a two-seater quadricycle starting at 7500€. Well, it just doesn't sell, except to the richest suburbs of Paris.
I think there's a huge market lying there for a cheaper and greener solution to urban mobility, but at 6000€, it's more a gadget and not a game changer…

Just to make sure nobody takes the above as facts and decides modafinil is what they need: basically everything in parent is incorrect, except that sleeping is good for you.

Modafinil does have various side effects, does not allow you to never sleep, and you do have some effects of sleep deprivation if you use it to skip nights. The shady sites that sell it do ship to non-US addresses. Your doctor probably also has it (provigil), if you have narcolepsy.

Why do people still use PayPal? Their service is just absolutely insane.
Spent some time yesterday converting jQuery fadeIn/fadeOuts to CSS3 animations and ran into an issue.

Changing the display style (display:none; to display:block;) disables CSS animations and transitions. There are workarounds - setting height to 0 and switching to auto, then animating the opacity - or moving the element off the screen.

Took me a while to figure out why my simple animations weren't working... I had gotten used to display:none; not sure how I feel about height:0;
The leaders of the three biggest parties, ALP, Liberal and Greens are all Catholic or in the case of Rudd a Catholic turned Anglican. Catholics are the second biggest cult after the Protestants in Australia and just ahead of the non-believers by a whisker. Catholics are possibly over-represented due to private school networking in the case of the Abbott and Pyne types and a concern with social justice issues in the case of a Rudd or Milne type. It really isn't about the religion though.

It is all about power, money and special interests corrupting democracy. Abbott for all his Catholicism will have signed his soul over to big carbon polluters, the tobacco lobby, Rupert Murdoch and lots more to take the election.
Nothing. UK legislation says it can't be more than 40kg (or 60 for a tricycle or tandem).

2002/24/EC does however say:

* the maximum continuous rated power may not be more than 250W

* assistance may be provided only while pedaling

* assistance may not be provided beyond 25 km/h
People have different preferences when it comes to coding styles. There are some that are subjective (balance between clarity vs. simplicity), and there are idiotic styles such as

Does riding it as a bike recharge the battery? That would be great.
I just took a close look at it, and I think you're right. It's not the easiest thing to see due to the wireframe, but with a second look it does appear that the injectors are just behind the valve.

So yes, it's multi-point injection, rather than direct injection which is the new hotness for gasoline. Formula 1 will allow it from next year with the new V6 formula!
They will only release the funds when version 1.0 ships? Does PayPal not understand that it costs money to create products? That's the entire reasoning behind crowdfunding! 'Well you see this money you said you needed to make version 1.0 of the product? Well you can have it after you've finished'
Hmm.. This does not sound good. Hope it will resolve it self. Maybe a founder to founder call is in place.
It makes it an overpriced electric scooter.
49kg is not too heavy to be considered "a sort of bicycle". Modern cargo bikes can be up to 60 kg, and I suspect classic cargo bikes are a lot heavier than that, yet they're all "a sort of bicycle", just not a very fast one.

What disqualifies this as "a sort of bicycle" is the fact that it's powered. Well, there are power-assisted bicycles, but they don't generally go up to 65 kph. Mostly, this is a kind of moped that wants to look like a bicycle.
Because indiegogo forces you to do it more ore or less.

This is not the first time Paypal did that [1] and it most certainly won't be the last time. That's one of the reasons Bitcoin was invented. I hope that events like this will drive its adoption as a safe alternative for crowd funding and online shopping.

> Non-pedal assist (just turn the handle) are limited to 20kmh otherwise they are considered a motorbike

FWIW, it's 25km/h and applies to both non-assist and assist. UK differs from EU regulation there in that EU regs completely forbid non-pedal assist, but the 25km/h for electrical power is the same.
Off-colour joke... I'm pretty sure his policy platform makes no mention of criminal law reform. It was more a meta-comment on "Think what you will about Assange".
These are all peripherals for your bike though

I don't honestly know about that, though; I can imagine each one of these being so integral to the bike itself that they simply couldn't be peripherals.

Agreed re: bike theft - but it also grates me that if I drive to the office, a sudden unexpected downpour makes zero difference to my life, whereas on my bike... wurgh.
IndieGoGo actually support direct credit card donations, but a lot of people asked for PayPal as an option and we relented. So donating via. IGG actually works just fine - we have obviously disabled the PayPal option.
Oh dear, that's not a good situation then!
> That's the entire reasoning behind crowdfunding!

They're not a crowdfunding service, they are a escrow service. The whole point of escrowing is that the service keeps the money safe until the transaction is completed (ie the buyer gets what she was buying).
Paypal doesn't understand that it isn't their money. Every contributor to Mailpile has just had their funds stolen by what was supposed to be a middleman.
My sentiments exactly, if this were the first instance of this i would forgive them however it is not; I fail to see why paypal is used given it recent history.

I'm a little confused by this. What crowd-sourced funds is PayPal withholding, as I thought that went via IndieGoGo? (answer: IndieGoGo uses PayPal)

What on earth does PayPal care about the financial planning of the recipient of the funds? This doesn't seem like it has anything to do with fraud detection.
> Plus for that much money you could buy a reasonably decent actual bicycle (£1k-2k) and spend some time training.

For that much money you can also get a decent assisted bike a third the weight (or less). Hell, you can probably get 4.
Nice to have met you!

How many in your group of 20-30 have the qualifications that would allow them to be teachers in every subject that they teach their children if they were to apply for jobs in your public school system?

While I believe in your freedom to homeschool your children, why does the public school system have those requirements for their teachers? It isn't only to have the ability to manage kids and parents. While I believe that your group may do an excellent job at educating your students, 84% of 1.5 million students were estimated to be homeschooled only at home as of 2007 according to http://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=91 , and I doubt that all of them are sufficiently qualified to teach all subjects required in their local public school.

Why do I want a finger print reader? It doesn't strike me as practical.

On my bicycle I normally wear gloves, in London only for about 8 months do I wear gloves that don't cover my fingers. The only reason is a nasty one, sweat build up. I would on an electric bike want to wear finger protection and wind stopping gloves.

This whole concept strikes me of someone who hasn't thought about how it would be used on a standard day. 50kg is too much for most people to lug around manually. Where and how do you park this? If I didn't grab my hybrid and lug it up/down some stairs it would probably get nicked, and that is a bike worth only £800.

This has all the downside of a scooter, without the benefits.
IndieGoGo offers PayPal as an option. Many people prefer it, for various reasons. The funds donated via. credit card directly on IndieGoGo are still available to us.
American product logos typically employ more effects, like swirls, gradients, shadows, perspective, highlighting, etc. than European counterparts.
