It looks like a spin-off from leetchi.com [1] crowdfunding site.

My impression is that the mangopay itself is also more geared towards group-buy etc ventures.

If they do not provide a credit card vault that you can take to another payment company as needed then It's a high-risk option. Just like any other payments company without a vault. Vault is not an issue if the customers making one-time purchases and there's no recurring subscription.

If your biz is with recurring billing then you don't want to run parallel payment systems or ask users to resubscribe whenever there's a need to move somewhere else.

I'm in EU as well and things do not look good for small startups with a need for recurring "mutable" payments. The only reliable option is braintreepayments but 100eur minimum is high and there's an uncertainty with the pricing because of the rumors on Paypal/eBay takeover.

I'm waiting for Stripe to expand to all EU countries. PayMill is very similar to Stripe but their biggest problem for me is not having the vault -- I would not be able to transfer my subscriptions to a new provider if needed (AFAIK, please prove me wrong).

This resonates so much with me and my kids. On Saturday when school is out, they'll spend 80+% of their day engaging with one screen or another. And during my non-work time, blogs and forums (ahem), online news and magazines are where I end up spending a lot of time...

The actual project itself points to "why it's better" - http://semantic-ui.com/ (this article is just a puff piece for it)

The basic "problem solved" is this statement right here:
Lose the Hieroglyphics - Semantic is structured around natural language conventions to make development more intuitive.

Is the difference between <div class="col-lg-4"> and <div class="column"> that hard for people? Sounds like a solution to a non-problem for me...
But that means using a lot more memory.

And you can only cache a couple of frames or so.

Anyway, patches very welcome on that.
While it's a relief that I'm not alone in this, it raises a concern that this policy of bludegoning people to sign up via email DOES appear to be a company policy. Plus, they refuse to even acknowledge emails on the subject.

I cannot recommend them less. Shabby treatment of potential customers.
What are the most productive ways to spend time on internet?

A valuable point worth noting in relation to this is the fact that Jesus, in the new testament, specifically dismisses such practices as stoning:

John 8:7. “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/let_him_who_is_without_sin_cas...

It is one of the central tenets of Christian faith that one should not judge others. Quotes attributed to Jesus explicitly state this many times in the new testament.
Personally, I was reminded of the schizophrenic guy on HN who built his own OS.
There is no difference between "distinct" or "transitional" species. All species are transitional, that's the way evolution works. Some species are more long lived than others due to being well fit to their ecological niche but every species has the potential to evolve to other species even so.
Thankfully, we're on one of the multiple universes that had this guy to stop nuclear armaggeddon from happening.
Ask HN: Training/skills to become a good QA engineer
I've done a search on HN for similar questions before but it seems they get distracted by questions regarding if the op meant standard QA or test automation.

So for background I'm a CS grad who doesn't seem to have a great ability to develop, at least not yet. I went into finance and worked for two years in support/development and got on very well, unfortunately my application got quite popular and therefore the team was heavily regulated, this meant I went to strictly support and low level so I wasn't happy with the lack of complexity.

As a result I decided to try a different industry and have went back to technology and got a job as a QA engineer. I am fully aware I cannot rely solely on my employer to provide the skills necessary to become a good QA Engineer.

Therefore I wish to firstly cement soft skills as a good QA tester which I believe I already have. i.e. an eye for detail, enjoy a good puzzle. What technical skills do people feel are required to be a good 'manual' tester?

Lastly the main reason I took this jump was to get into automated testing as I believe it will allow a jump in complexity and perhaps a side move to development when I'm good enough. Where do I start in becoming good at automated testing?

The standard advice for a dev is to start developing personal projects? What about a tester? Is it the same so then you can test your project thoroughly? I've often seen it said you should be testing OTHER peoples code mainly. So how can I get this exposure?

Just for additional info, I've been researching a bit myself and have come across a few products like selenium to play with and reading the google testing blog. On top of this I've started two udacity classes, one for software testing and one for debugging. Any further suggestions? Any decent books to help me feel a little less lost in my current situation?

Thanks for any advice you can provide

This is why I walk. I don't drive, or even have a car. I do my best thinking when I walk and my mind is free to roam. VOW of NOW[1], Summon the Warrior[2] and my upcoming Self Experiments[3] are all products of walking and gap time.

Not only does walking spark creativity, but I've met a lot of new people this way.

Restricting commercial use would disqualify it from being "open source" according to the OSI's definition [1]. If you changed the text of the GNU GPL, the license proposed by the GGP, you would also no longer be able to call it the GPL since the text of the license itself is copyrighted and not free to edit (to, e.g., prevent fragmentation) [2]. If you did all that the source release could well be a net negative for whatever goodwill the FOSS community has for your company.

What they could do instead is dual-license it under a strong copyleft license like the AGPL 3.0 and a proprietary license betting on companies being reluctant to share their source code. Still, it would hardly be to their advantage at all.

> In most professional/knowledge type industries (tech of all kinds, at the least) 40hrs is a day-dream that people would love to work, rather than the 50-100 they actually work.

When's the last time you held a "professional/knowledge type" job? Because from my experience, 40 hours is the norm. By far. At least 90%. I work with about two dozen other developers doing both web and mobile, for internal projects as well as client work. I can only think of one person who works more than 40 hours a week and it's definitely because he chooses to. We work 8 to 5 with an hour for lunch and most people live within 15-20 minutes of the office.

Is it normal for folks in the Bay area to have a 1-2 hour commute? The longest I've ever had was 45 minutes and that only lasted 6 months until I got a new apartment (granted I own my home now so that's less of an option).

Photoshop has been using the drag&drop method for the last 15 years, so I've gotten used to it. I can see your reason behind wanting to click a point on the scale, but adjusting the guide would require you to drag it orthogonal again anyway.
How do you find Owncloud, is it reliable enough? I have heard it has a lot of bugs, can be very slow and in rare instances deletes data at random which would be unacceptable to me. I am using Baikal for CardDav and CalDav which has been very reliable so far, and BitTorrent Sync for Dropbox replacement which is less reliable and has some bad bugs (one of which is it being closed source).
While I agree that this is a phenomenon, it's too soon to tell how it will play out. It's not possible to be meaningfully productive if you're unable to focus, so this could just be a function of the ages which are represented. Perhaps they'll learn through the requirements of higher education? I've regularly espoused that the biggest advantage to hiring someone with a degree is that they've shown that they can complete a pointless task that they don't enjoy.

Uhm I searched on ebay and found it for 199€ (+49€ for 8GB and +29€ for UMTS so a bit more). The seller seems to have many of them, unfortunately it's in Germany (i'm in Europe too but I want a QWERTY keyboard)
I think part of this trend has to do with the fact that many people tend to have fear/anxiety issues, when they have nothing to do. We have lost the capability to truly relax, even to bore ourselves. When we are not active, we worry, so we constantly distract ourselves from these feelings of anxiety.

Another example - a few years ago there was a huge trend of housewives playing Hidden-image games. It turns out that these games were so simple that people could do them in parallel with other tasks such as being on the phone, but they created a level of 'noise' that kept them from worrying about their lives. It's quasi electronic self-medication.

I have a question about HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security).

This quote is from "Mozilla Developer Network" [1]:

"The HTTP Strict Transport Security feature lets a web site inform the browser that it should never load the site using HTTP, and should automatically convert all attempts to access the site using HTTP to HTTPS requests instead."

Does this mean that the browser stores somewhere that the site foo.com must be opened only in HTTPS mode? And what if I don't want the browser to keep any information about any site - its favicon, its cookies, local storage, indexed databases or HSTS information, nothing, how can I achieve this? Does the private mode in Firefox do this?
