Next up on CNN; why more wars are wanted by a Peace Nobel Prize winner busy destroying constitutional rights, war mongering and keeping concentration camp open Obama. If you think what the President does keeps America civil rights stronger than ever call us. If, opposite, you think that forcing everybody to buy health insurance whatever the hell want or not, is good for the economy call us too!

That Western liberal academia decided to give nobel prize to Obama just shows their real intellectual prowess. Maybe next time liberal art guys from the left will give him an Oscar prize. What for? Like with Nobel Prize! To encourage him!

CNN is so pathetic nowadays that I take russian kgb propaganda tube Russia Today over it any time.
We're currently redesigning and drafting copy for both sites. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Very cool! But maintaining all those regular expressions will soon be a pain. You need a real lexer and parser :)
Nicely put! I wrote svg.js because I ran into limitations with Raphael. The great thing about Raphael is its compatibility with older browsers, but it is also its weakest spot because VML doesn't do everything SVG does, thereby limiting possibilities.

I wanted a library that still breathed SVG while providing a more unified API. I think too much abstraction leads to isolation. It's important to stay in touch with the underlying language, SVG.
I agree with what you are saying, but as far as reliability goes github sucks badly and until it gets much much more reliable I think using it for "everything" isn't really viable for most businesses (unless they have enterprise). I might not have any more redundancy with Google Apps, but I am yet to be affected by an outage.
Water has another issue -- sometimes it's hard to cross. You can see it in the last image, sort of.

Where I live, the nearest school, store, and park are ~ 4 miles away. (I know this because of a real estate site.) The second nearest are ~ 6 miles. It takes 2.5 hours to get to the closest ones, but 15 minutes to get to the second closest ones.

The difference, one of them is across a body of water that has no ferry or bridge, and to get there you have to go the long way around. And it's a long enough trip that I've never been there in 7 years of living here, despite seeing it every non-foggy day.
A full month of notification is plenty. If the vendor acknowledges you and tells you they're working on it and asks you to hold off then that's one thing, but if they basically ignore you for a month then you've done your part. Especially with an exploit like this, you're not opening up access to PII, although it sounds like you are opening the window to possible fraudulent charges.
Amost everything is interesting to hackers, we're a curious open-minded bunch by nature. But notice the guideline says "good hackers", implying an expectation of posts and discussions of a deeply technical and analytical nature. Rants about day-to-day annoyances need not apply.

Also, HN can't be a site about everything, or it becomes a site about nothing, no different from any other news aggregator out there.

The theme of tech and startups and stuff directly related to them (like legal issues) needs to be enforced, and is.

Mind candy posts like this get unthinking upvotes, and that is exacerbated b/c unlike reddit, you can't un-upvote after you've thought better of it. Hence the mods cull posts like this, and the community flags it to help the mods catch it.
Well, that's very good to hear. Looking forward to the official release.
That discussion keeps popping up from time to time. I do prefer a better performance but most of the time that not even dependent on the language but on the developer. I've seen super fast websites done in PHP and super slow ones done in Java.
We offer 5 years free use of www.draw.io to startups, we'd never do something as cheap as, oh, 2 months free.

I programmed ATMs some 10 years ago, and the way they worked was that retracted cash would not be recycled, but stored and tagged with the withdrawing account, which would get credited only after a manual counting (or maybe immediately, but counted and confirmed afterwards)
For anyone who is not played with Dsploit (the network exploitation and analysis tool mentioned in the article), it is fantastic. I followed it in its early days on XDA, where the developer relentlessly answered all user questions, patched bugs, took in many features requests, and genuinely kicked ass.

I respect that dev a lot. I hope other people show his some love.

I was going to complain about AirDrop being proprietary, but this is very disappointing. What is wrong with Apple?

> It’s important to note that while AirDrop in iOS 7 and AirDrop in OS X share the same name and underlying technology (both work by transmitting files over a peer-to-peer Wi-Fi connection), they aren’t actually compatible with one another. You can AirDrop things from iOS to iOS and from OS X to OS X, but not from iOS to OS X or vice versa. All the reports I can find say that this situation doesn’t change with Mavericks.
still the original thought exists "how is chocolate pudding a 'Healthy Choice'?"
I completely agree, most people I've ever encountered asking "What to learn next" don't really understand what they think they know. There are 100 different directions you can go from if you actually had a decent understanding of php/html/css; exploring the PHP source code, learning more about the network protocols that http/https requests operate on top of, web application security and security in general, browser implementation of css rendering/javascript engines/sandboxing, all of these things are natural extensions of web development, and are really just the tip of the iceberg.
A bit of context: yesterday a link was posted to the Robot Turtles kickstarter, and I wondered whether anyone was teaching functional languages to kids instead of imperative ones... then today Brian McKenna mentioned the 'Girls Can't Code' blog

... where Juha Paananen describes teaching his daughter to code.

As someone already said, it is a very bold move. Being in a manger role myself, I have often wondered about the value the managers add and my conclusion is it depends on the company. In a large company, managers are there to protect, support and develop their people - not to get in their way. Though, I will also admit that very few managers are actually good at that. If you are a small company with very smart people, with little to no bureaucracy then you can easily get away with no managers. In an environment where the loudest voice gets heard the most, you probably do need 'good' managers.
I'm not talking about a client-side performance issue. Those are tangential matters. We should all endeavor to comply with best practices for delivery of static assets to improve client-side performance including minification, strategic concatenation, use of content delivery networks, caching strategies, and so on.

Let's put that aside, however.

What I am talking about is a real request to a non-cachable dynamic page or service endpoint. It's the frustration of "Waiting for [servername]..." status bar messages. It's the frustration of looking at the Network panel in Chrome or Firebug and realizing that it's just spinning waiting for the first byte of the response. It might be a server-templated HTML page. It might be an API call fetching some JSON. But the sorry state even in 2013 is that a disturbingly large number of sites will spend hundreds of milliseconds, and in some cases full seconds to respond to dynamic requests that ultimately deliver quite trivial response payloads.

I for one want developers to stop sweeping these performance failures under the rug by deflecting server-side performance failure with client-side cover.
The first tanks and the Battle of Somme
I'm not a fan of iOS 7 design-wise, but my biggest gripe is the battery. It's bad. Really, really bad. I think it's a combination of an actual decrease in battery life and iOS 7's terrible monitoring of it.

It's not uncommon for my phone to shut down after it's hit 8% remaining battery. Or I'll be watching a video with 45% left, and the next second it'll cut me down to 25%. There have been a few instances where I've gone from ~25% to completely empty in a flash, leaving me with a dead phone much earlier than I'd anticipated. So now I really can't leave my place for more than maybe 4/5 hours without my charger.
I honestly checked the date.
I was recently disappointed by the huge price hike of gogo in flight. It's been $10 for a flight for quite some time now which I'd felt was perfectly fair considering the quality. On my recent flight to NYC for work and play it was $10 per hour which essentially amounts to a 5x increase. I grabbed it for 2 hours and it was just as bad as always. Fine for email and Facebook but unideal for pushing a significant commit on a large git repo.

On the way home I just didn't bother since I'd spent my whole air-fi budget at the beginning of the trip.

Just seemed like an enormous and unfair price hike for a product that hasn't improved whatsoever.
I'm pretty sure at least one of those tests Racket does better at is essentially a GC benchmark. Go's GC is still fairly weak.
No tools needed:

`arp -a`

followed by

`sudo ifconfig en0 ether $macaddress`

should be enough. You'd be surprised on how many paid-for hotspots this actually works (ethical issues aside).

People to stop treating recent progress like the rediscovery of fire. Or that future incremental progress is anything other than an inevitability.

Its like telling someone 100 years ago that the very notion of airtravel at all is unreasonable because YOU HAVE THE GERM THEORY OF DISEASE!
Gloves frequently do come in one size only. Adding wider ranges of screen sizes increases developer testing requirements so I'm glad they haven't, and whilst Autolayout does abstract a lot of those headaches it doesn't resolve everything.

Plus gloves do often come as one size only. Depends on the glove type, material and manufacturer.
The biggest problem with this race series is the organizing body. The FIA is a dinosaur. Unless they change their ways you will not be able to watch these races in the US unless you have expensive cable/satellite service that include the Speed channel. The FIA has not embraced the Internet. There is no easy way to watch F1 races online.

I hope they take a different approach with Formula E.
Where do you find clients?
Many users will see the first few words of the welcome. Few will read enough to realise they can verify. Even fewer will actually verify.

Later, your users will wonder why they're not receiving emails from you. If you send them out despite not having verification, then you've got the abuse problem again.

Abused (non-)users will just see every email as spam and ignore them, including the first welcome one. If you continue to send emails out, they will continue to be abused.
Python, because it's easy to learn and it's super versatile. I don't code Python full time any more, but I still find a way to use it on a fairly regular basis. It's a very handy thing to have in your tool belt, regardless of what you wind up doing in the long term, and there's a lot of literature related to learning programming that's taught with Python. Python is probably the most average language you can find, which is why it works well for your stated purpose of having a more solid foundation. Although it's not the best tool for most jobs, it sounds like you don't entirely know what you want to do, and Python is an adequate tool for a lot of different things; it can expose you to a variety of programming environments.
I now see that by ‘Big Thing’ you meant a new cash cow. I thought you meant ‘a great new product no-one expected’.
This will be exploited by people without a moral compass. What are you trying to get at? The author isn't suggesting this as a life hack for free internet, he's just showing that it can be done.

In this particular scenario, it's strange because the probability of it is so low. Maybe you are surrounded by lady hackers who are fond of military tech (tell me where you work, I'll apply), but statistically they are such a rare breed that using "she" in this case just looks like trying too hard. "Hey look at me, I am not a brogrammer, I said 'she'!". JMO.
iOS versions have generally had a massively forward adoption rate. I read that 80% of iPhones were on the most modern OS. It looks to me like the lack of support for the 3GS will create a split in adoption of the OS, which will trickle down and create an even larger gap in the purchasing of new iOS devices. I think this split will occur due to the stability of the 3G iPhones.
This is concerning to me due to my company having iOS releases for the enterprise. This means that our customers are purchasing iOS devices just for our app. This also means that we have to be backwards compatible with yet another version of the OS. In code, this is where Macros come in.

I am reminded of the days of Microsoft vs Apple where Microsoft had better backwards compatibility. I think that the use of these devices in the business world will echo the days past and the cheaper device, Android, will be the go to business device.
I'd give it an update or two... Apple tends to have this issue at first, either because of something in their updated OS or 3rd party software.

It usually gets fixed pretty quickly though.
The price hike has been very disappointing and actually biz killing. 10$ for a flight was a smooth price point while 10$ per hr is atrocious.
How's that worked out? Genuinely interested, I had some vague ideas about trying that last year but decided it seemed like there was always a series of workarounds that it would entail.
Credit Louis CK at least.

An Invitation to an Open (Re)Discourse
It was a sarcastic quip. I read the article.
Right, there's an average around 1 cent (across all domestic and international travel) and you're suggesting that you should save them for when it's to your advantage. I agree.

Personally, I've never seen a flight where redemption matched the article at around $0.10/mi, e.g. a $5000 ticket for 50,000 miles. Let me know when you see one and I'll book a ticket and we can discuss this over coffee.

I like iOS 7, but I'm a little worried about how app designers will do with the new look.

When you compare the apps currently out that have been updated, you can see a lot of companies are struggling with flat design. Something that seems simple, is actually very complex to pull off, but when done right, can be fantastic.

I think it will be a while before the ecosystem fully recovers and most of the best apps around have figured out how to execute flat design well.

Perhaps you missed the part of my very short comment where I wrote "I'm not dismissing that the work could have value, but the article makes claims that go far beyond anything that's been demonstrated."

You might want to re-read my original comment and take note of the issues I commented on. If you disagree with what I'm saying, why not respond on those points? I can't help wonder if your problem is actually that I'm interfering with your "I want to believe" circuitry.

I like to distinguish between actual science and mathematics and nonsensical metaphysical claims like "...giving up space and time as fundamental constituents of nature and figuring out how the Big Bang and cosmological evolution of the universe arose out of pure geometry." YMMV.
It's best to describe this as "confirmed opt-in". The term "double opt-in" can also be used by marketers to describe them having received your email twice. Using "confirmed opt-in" is unambiguous. "Double" could mean anything, and in any case registration and confirmation are two separate steps of a single opt-in.

I'm surprised to see Mailchimp using the "double" term.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opt-in_email

"The term double opt-in has also been co-opted by spammers, diluting its value."
Everyone likes to bring out their individuality. I can definitely see a lot of users happily uploading personal pictures for board backgrounds.

Why is lack of support for the 3GS any different than iOS 6's lack of support for the 3G? The 3GS came out in _2009_. I'm surprised it supports iOS 6; the 3G can't even run iOS 5.
Meanwhile, I'm completely on board with this. Trello is used by a lot of people who make lots of money and want to throw some of it at Fog Creek because they're awesome, but it's also used by a lot of people who make not lots of money (in some cases zero money) and are organizing things like school projects and community service. (For example, I use Trello to organize all my homework, and a club I'm part of at school [with near-zero budget] used Trello to organize a big charity fundraising event.)

This lets the people who want to give Fog Creek money give them money, and get something in return, while letting people who can't afford to give Fog Creek money still use Trello for all the important stuff.

(Also, 250 MB file uploads are a legitimate feature worth paying for. Heck, even pretty backgrounds and stickers are an important feature for a lot of people, just maybe not HN-reading programmers.)

Right, but the President and Congress are not elected to do the "decent thing" but rather to implement the will of the people. When the Senate voted to block transfers from Guantanamo to the U.S. by 98-0, that suggests that they understood that the political will in the U.S. was strongly against such an action.

The reference is to an episode of Seinfeld where the Kramer sub-plot is about bottle deposit returns. Kramer notices that he can get 10 cents instead of the usual 5 cents for a bottle deposit return if he can return it to Michigan. Newman says that it can't be done, he's crunched the numbers and you blow all of your profit by transporting the bottles (remember, Seinfeld is set in NYC). However, Newman (a postal worker) finds out there is an overflow mail truck that only happens on Mother's Day due to all the cards that are sent and that they can have the USPS essentially cover the transportation so he signs up to drive the truck. Of course nothing goes the way it's supposed to when the Elaine/Jerry plot merges with the Newman/Kramer plot and Kramer is forced to abandon the attempt mid-quest (after throwing Newman out of the postal truck) to recover JFK's golf clubs.

The picture is of Newman drinking a soda so he can get the deposit on it.
CyanogenMod, the company’s free open-source replacement firmware, has more than 8 million users, CEO Kirt McMaster says. But that counts only users who have elected to share data with Cyanogen, he says, estimating that the true number is two to three times that amount. "There’s always been lot of talk around who’s going to be the third dominant mobile computing platform," says McMaster, who previously co-founded Boost Mobile. "Windows Phone would probably be number three now. If you look at what our actual user base is, we might be equal to or greater than that."
"The author isn't suggesting this as a life hack for free internet"

The HN Title is (I can't see the actual article as the machine is hosed):

Both of which, I would suggest, propose an article about "How to get internet for free", specifically "How to get Gogo in-flight wireless internet for free".

Or am I missing something?

On a recent flight, I noticed they were asking $10/hr on my laptop but $6/hr on my phone, but they allow you to switch devices (as long as you only use one at a time) so I just bought it on the phone and used it on the laptop (you could also change your headers instead but I think that's technically "hacking"). It was also 3 hours for the price of 2, so it worked out as $12 for 3 hours which seemed almost reasonable.
