What you are advocating is the continued abuse of victims because they should have known better. Your defense of this is that you can't do anything to prevent bullies or abusers. Here's why that's wrong.

1. 'there is nothing that can be done'

There's lots of things that can be done; they're just not things you care about, or things you want to help with. That doesn't mean things can't be done.

We can educate people on why bullies exist, how to identify them, and how to stop them. We can show in the real world the effect of bullying, and the effect of stopping it. They do this now in small programs for some schools, but it needs to be expanded.

We can also lead by example. As adults (well, some of us are adults anyway) we can show bullies and victimizers that what they do is not acceptable, and we can hold them accountable for their words and actions. Not only can we address them specifically, and treat each other with respect, 45 states have laws on cyber bullying. If common human decency doesn't work, we can report them to law enforcement.

2. 'the bottom 0.1% of humanity'

Bullying exists in all walks of life in different ways. And i'm not talking elevating, i'm talking educating, and protecting other people. There is nothing wrong with trying to protect vulnerable people.

Why would you advocate that people should be hurt? Whether they 'pretend it doesnt exist' or not, it's still wrong, and because there's something wrong going on, we need to work to make it right, not just throw up our hands and say "oh well thats what happens when youre a hipster" !!!
Totally. Remote is the only work I'll ever do. I get more done, have great collaboration using the appropriate tools and don't have to be 'social' by being subjected to pong pong games. My work environment is perfect and therefore my work quality is among the best it has ever been. Losing the 2 hour daily commute in NYC was a huge boost to my productivity and energy.

If anyone is interested as to the feats of this processor, this is an interesting review:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/7335/the-iphone-5s-review/2
A team related to mine released a new UI for their software. It included a loading bar, of sorts, while it was loading a new page on the tool.

Users complained it was too slow.
They removed the loading bar.
Users stopped complaining it was slow.

I've since stopped trying to find new ways to add loading bars, and just focused on making my software faster.
They seem to have trouble pinging themselves.

Typing in their own site and hitting go takes multiple minutes to return a screenshot.
It works so well mostly because it works only with other Apple hardware and software. They have up to 10 designs to optimize. That are fairly close to each other.
Hubski is like a personalized sherpa of content. You decide what you want to see and enjoy the benefits of any type of content and discussion without the constant trolling on other sites.
If you have an application that doesn't need to be indexed by search engines, yes. If you have a content heavy website the preferable method is still to render templates on the server. It still varies depending on your use case. I wouldn't say that is the status quo at all.

CivOmega - Ask questions about government data
"Using freedom of information, he discovered that at least 700 "significant" accidents and incidents involving 1,250 nuclear weapons were recorded between 1950 and 1968 alone."

That's nice for when one uses official statistics to defend the safety of such things...
Interesting, but you should definitely add some visual examples.
A fizzle of the (relatively small, fission) primary would be some percentage of a number much lower than 4 megatons. Most of that "oomph" comes from the fusion secondary which is set off by the primary detonating as designed.

I don't know how big the primary on that bomb was, and can't find anything about that, but did find this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Koon) test of a fusion bomb where the primary didn't fizzle but the secondary nevertheless did not ignite. The primary there was 110 kilotons. So the primary on that bomb, not fizzling, is around 5 or 6 Nagasaki blasts.
Nevertheless, patenting software is encouraged by law, and I find it my duty to the shareholders of the companies I've been working for to take advantage of this protection.

What a cowardly cop out. If you believe in software patents, I can understand getting one. But to say "I must do X because X is profitable" is ridiculous.
I think this is correct. For example, the Wright Brothers' sole motivation for inventing the airplane was to patent it and make money. Without patents, they would've either kept it secret or not done it at all.
I would start with the question of why is it that people need visas. We live on the same earth. We should be allowed to travel wherever we want. It's ridiculous.
Very accurate. One of my coworkers constantly wants to use the MS version of things that I've been using for 2-3 years already.
thats because it was already merged in freebsd 9
.. for freebsd 10, they are polishing it..
but it works since 9..

For me this is another thing that are very appealing!
if you mix capsicum with jails, zfs, geli, pf.. you can have the most secure box in the world..
all of this amazing technology directly integrated with the kernel, and being maintained in the mainstream freebsd.
no thirdy-parties involved

also projects like netmap are sweet..
According to the wiki it disintegrated on impact, I'm sure that played a role in the "dramatically close" statement
Offtopic, but would you quote using * asterisks? Quoting like that makes it almost impossible for mobile users to read.
The lesson I draw from this incident is that when you want the highest degree of safety, you want many layers. The plane failed, three safety mechanisms in the bomb failed - but the very last safety mechanism worked.

Islam is a big religion (like Christianity). That something is not seen as a religious mandate by some branches of Islam does not mean it is not a religious issue for other branches of Islam.

> Should government employees have no dress code?

Except insofar as dress is actually related to the performance of the substantive duties of the job, probably.
Since author is talking about security a bit, I'll add.
Be careful, if there is a bug somewhere in imagemagick or it runs out of memory, it could easily take down an entire worker process and abort every connection there.
Those interested might also be interested in a previous discussion on a similar progress bar.

BTW if you're interested, Martin Odersky and others will host a brand new Coursera class focusing on Reactive programming starting in November:

https://www.coursera.org/course/reactive

It doesn't say so explicitly in the course description, but I guess we will be using Play and Akka during assignments. If it's half as good as his introduction to Functional Programming in Scala, it will be a treat.
Everyone Should Be Welcome In Tech
I use the Page Monitor chrome extension because I like to customize what changes, like prices on computer parts.
What I dislike, ordered from 'insane' to 'bad':

- Notifications for 'last active' / 'seen': Really? In what _world_ would that be a good idea? FB does the same crap, but I don't have any FB app and there's no global 'Yeah, that dude just looked at totally different things, but really: He's active and _should_ have answered you'.

- Not open. I don't trust them a bit. FB messages are XMPP and FB is "You're stupid to share things here anyway" by default. Whatsapp .. has no benefit, all the downsides.

- Free for a year, pay after everyone uses it. Bait and switch.

On top of that:

For me a social network is something entirely different. Whatsapp is a message application. It's Trillian or whatever, nothing of value. You can do the same thing via XMPP or Mail or .. any transport you like. It feels like someone is rebranding something boring, old, uninteresting, adds tiny crappy features (and a UI I cannot stand) on top and .. asks for money.

(No offense intended. I wouldn't want to take that thing from any user, even if I could. I just hate being 'invited', because it's not even remotely interesting for me. And I'm sorry that this 'wins', while open solutions are equal or superior..)
We were inspired by a number of sources. We loved NProgress when it came out, but felt that mixins `Nprogress.set` calls into our code was cumbersome. After we started work on (what was originally codenamed MProgress (https://github.com/adamschwartz/mprogress) ;), Codedrops published their article. We were psyched because we thought we had an even bigger opportunity. So we curated and crafted the best themes from all over the web (Codedrops, included) and coupled them with the easiest-to-configure progress bar solution out there.
The state high school sports authority would not allow someone with specific categories of knee injuries to play certain sports (football included) that involved fast lateral movements until 12 months had passed from date of injury. The knee felt healed to me, and I was able to run no problem after 6 months.
Smart. There was a study recently that showed that the barber pole style of progress bar in particular did make people perceive things as faster, but I imagine it has a lot to do with how long the delay really is.
Reminded me of other nuclear hijinks, like Project A119.

I think that's a negative, in a way (the not being too angry or upset on politics). It seems not a lot of us (the general Canadian population) cares, or even understands what's going on.

Everyone I talk to is either too ignorant about international, or even domestic affairs, or simply responds with "uhuh," or "meh." People don't seem to truly understand what kind of effect this has. Not only on people's privacy, but on the ultimate government control. If nobody responds, it basically gives the government a green light to do it again, and again.

I'd disagree with our "functional political system." There's so many systems in-place that warrant a conservative behaviour. Such as the vote of non-confidence, first-past the post, no set terms or set maximum time in office, etc... It encourages the government to only act in their best interest. Only being interested in staying in office. Thus, potentially controversial or progressive bills would be worthless to make. So they do the same "safe" thing.

I would also argue that we have really bad representation (not relative to any other country - just an absolute bad). Some have proposed other voting systems such as proportional representation. But this creates even more problems, such as common coalition, which I wouldn't classify as a good thing.

But perhaps this is only because I'm ready for a lot of change in how things work, and not always acting on the status-quo. It seems the only way to really fix things, is to radically change a slew of systems - which most likely won't happen.

Does anyone know how this would handle an iframe? Could this potentially be 'injected' into a page using bookmarklets?

edit: so, it doesn't handle iframes. Bookmarklets work but are buggy.
>But don't let that stop you from panicing.

Yes, because radars at the time were so advanced that nothing could go wrong. They were made by the same guys that lost 2 bombs near a major metropolitan area.

Yay for engineering!
It can't have hurt the relationship that bad if Apple haven't sourced a new provider. If I were Apple I'd pull the contract on principle but I'm sure financial forces are at play here.
Let me know how it goes. We don't specifically monitor the loading state of images right now, (although the document readyState will be effected by images). If it doesn't seem to work right for you create an issue and we'll add image monitoring.

Unless you never make changes to your software, development time is as continuous as run time. As someone pointed out below, the fact that Google finds value in Go seems to point to there being enough of a cost in development time that they're willing to sacrifice run time to reduce it.

That said, what makes sense for Google doesn't necessarily make sense for the rest of us.
I am surprised that they let you use your own machine. I am also surprised that they didn't get the code and data from you (or take you to court), as most employment contracts state that all work done by the employee is considered company property.
They trade in south korea so you wouldn't find their stock in US markets if you searched for it there..
Precisely. Information asymmetry is what allows the exchanges to be profitable. It is a continuous wealth transfer along the information gradient, with the most knowledgeable investors capturing most of the wealth from the least knowledgeable.

As long as this asymmetry exists, the vast majority of trades will constitute a zero sum wealth transfer.
>No one "felt like" going to war during the Cold War. Avoiding war was the top priority in everyone's mind. And I mean everyone -- leadership, public, on both sides.

"Noone" felt like going to war with the big other superpower.

As for places of strategic interest, they absolutely LOVED going to war over them, Korea, Vietnam, tons of Latin America, etc etc.
The typical business traveler doesn't need gigabytes and gigabytes of documents. If you are traveling and need sensitive documents, buy a new laptop at your destination and load the data you need on it. When leaving, wipe it and leave it in a place where you or another employee can pick it up next time they are in that country.

It's unfortunate that business people (as opposed to programmers) typically don't have something as compact and transferrable as dotfiles for getting up and running on a branch new machine.

The question is how to travel with a new set of private keys securely so you don't give them up on exit. Coming back isn't a problem because you can just revoke access for that temporary public-private key pair before you log off during your last ssh session before returning to the country.

I don't think this is practical now. But it is a known problem and solutions for quickly getting a machine up and running are getting better and better. I imagine that a chef or puppet script could be used on the new machine to get everything up and running. You just need to ssh in once to fetch the script that would set up the machine at your destination.
Just FYI, the difference is that this progress bar is monitoring things loading on the page, that one is just an animation.
Ask HN: Best Hackathon Practices?
As many of you may/may not know, there's a pretty awesome hackathon starting in a couple hours (MHacks!). What kind of tips does HN have for going to hackathons? What should the people who want to learn do throughout the weekend? What about the people who want to win prizes? Or those who want to connect with recruiters? Or meet/date people?

Let's hear it, HN. How do you handle hackathons?
I'm afraid that point doesn't work so well here. After Lotus brought out 1-2-3 a few years later, VisiCalc didn't do so well. VisiCorp was dead less than 2 years after the release of 1-2-3. One could argue that a patent would have kept VisiCorp alive. (Admittedly, part of the failure of the company was due to litigation with the authors of VisiCalc.)
In 1961, JFK would have been president. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, when an American U-2 was shot down and the pilot killed, he chose not to retaliate. Not to. Just let the Russians shoot down one of ours, and did nothing.

He did the right thing, too. It was an already tense situation, and letting it escalate into all out war . . . no one can say where it would stop.

Whatever you think of current politicians, JFK was a great man. There's no way, no way at all, he would have started a global hot war out of sheer pride.

But beyond that, it was a very different time. The US really was in mortal combat, which is not something this generation has witnessed. "We will find those terrorists" was a popular message on 9/11. "The Russians hit us for real and we have to hit back," during the Cold War, would not have been. It would have sounded like the end of the world. The political temptation would not have been to make an accident look like a real strike, but -- if anything -- to make a real strike look like an accident.
I meant in particular, it is not okay to have a one hour round trip time between the legs of a single position.

If I want to enter a large hedged position using the same "send some orders, wait for the fills, send more orders to tweak one side to be the appropriate size" procedure, I want to minimize the potential for price movement between the first and second sets of fills. If one hour's worth of information is incorporated into the securities' prices between the two sets of fills, that is a really huge amount of exposure compared to what I would expect today. I would have to be believe that the EV of the position is quite large before accepting one hour's unhedged exposure to get in on it. I could try to get rid of the round trip by using market orders everywhere, but this doesn't actually sound less risky. My belief and knowledge of the trades at some particular time would have to justify entering the position at some unknown pair of prices an hour later.

The great many participants who have not-incredibly-strong beliefs about the value of some hedged position will just not trade. The absence of their trades is a loss of information to the market; the market is less efficient. We probably share the belief that a more efficient market is good and a less efficient market is not so good :)

Enough with the hedged positions though!

Normally for this type of proposal I can just answer "If we do this then spreads will get bigger and that's bad," but here I have trouble doing that, because I'm not even sure if the notion of a spread or an inside price would make much sense once everything is so illiquid. Rather than having a view of the market that is a bunch of orders I can interact with at will, I would instead have a record of all the trades that happened in the last timestep and which orders were intact at the end of the last timestep. This is probably not sufficient information for me to learn the best prices at which I can be certain to buy or sell.
The current relationship may not last much longer. It's been reported that Apple has signed a deal with TSMC for 2014.

> The insinuation being that the US is the only country doing this?

Can you please make up your mind? Either Americans are "exceptional" and this is "the best country in the world", or not. If not then I don't think its okay to hate on others when they are upset with things happening on this soil.

As we all know things in US go downhill since a while. This issue would not suprise in Russia in 80s or on Cuba, but if US is exceptional then it will be judged by exceptional rules. In this case it shows US fails miserably on "land of the free, home of the brave".
Just added a link to the credits section of the readme, sorry that wasn't there before.
That sounds like regulation is working, just in favor of the doctors over the patients.
It's mostly racist as long as they keep the existing Christian symbols.

France did this ten years ago, there's not much analysis.
I mean the kind of lynch mob that extracts comically absurd recompense for errors. I'm a little busy to go digging for examples right now, but suffice to say that when a doctor has made a small mistake he does not deserve to be subsequently ruined.
Our MVP launched with just 3 of the hottest brands, which had that level of transactions on eBay alone. Across all women's fashion brands and all designer resale, there are roughly $100B in transactions per year (see the Demo Day video at the link). Start small and grow outward. ;)

The fact that there aren't currently enough jobs could very well be an unquantifiable negative externality of having a minimum wage.
The simplest timezone app for your iPhone
I'm working on a side project called "Timezone" which is (wait for it) a timezone convertor app.

I've been working on it on and off for a few months, until recently when I decided to spend more time on it. I don't really like Apple's native Clock app and want to replace it.

I'm designing the product and would love to find someone who'd want to build this out with me for fun. Obviously I'd split this 50/50 with you.

Would love some feedback on the design!
An example on the landing page would've been really helpful.

Honestly, the hype behind the Wi-Fi Pineapple is a little excessive. It's a nice little novelty, but it really doesn't offer anything you couldn't do with the aircrack-ng utilities (airbase-ng for conducting MITM in particular).

This is fantastic, and surprisingly worked perfectly with my own super complicated browser-side AMD style module loader. I'm very impressed that it "just works" and seems like magic. Thank you so much for making this! (seems like everybody else is complaining, HNers are so ungrateful)
I actually read a good book about nuclear bombs in the pre-missile era which directly speaks to that concern:
http://www.amazon.com/15-Minutes-General-Countdown-Annihilat...

You think carrying bombs on this flight is extraordinary? You don't know the half of it. They were dragging bombs all over the place, all the time, to a ridiculous extent. The practice run could turn into nuclear war while the planes were in the air.

And some of the terminology-fiddling is Fun: when they told people things like "the bombs were not armed", they meant that were only a quick switch away from being armed. in related news, the NSA doesn't have "direct access" to Google servers. :P

Retail Therapy: Inside the Apple Store: Let’s Get Ready to Rumble
What is interesting is that this reported $5B application processor contract with Samsung is likely drying up after the iPhone5S (plus next iPad rev?) as Apple transitions to TSMC. It therefore implies that all TSMC designs will likely be 64-bit, which will now likely change the planning for other pure-play foundries dreaming of that $5B order from Cupertino:

I've always heard "vertically integrated" as a separate category from "IC design house". Supply chains are long and the endpoints vary depending on the context.
