Break an unresponsive SSH Session or put it in the background
There's a few listed in the man page. neat.

The supported escapes (assuming the default ‘~’) are:

~. Disconnect.

~^Z Background ssh.

~# List forwarded connections.

~& Background ssh at logout when waiting for forwarded connection / X11 sessions to terminate.

~? Display a list of escape characters.

~B Send a BREAK to the remote system (only useful for SSH protocol version 2 and if the peer supports it).

~C Open command line. Currently this allows the addition of port forwardings using the -L, -R and -D options (see above). It also allows the cancella‐
tion of existing port-forwardings with -KL[bind_address:]port for local, -KR[bind_address:]port for remote and -KD[bind_address:]port for dynamic port-
forwardings. !command allows the user to execute a local command if the PermitLocalCommand option is enabled in ssh_config(5). Basic help is avail‐
able, using the -h option.

~R Request rekeying of the connection (only useful for SSH protocol version 2 and if the peer supports it).

~V Decrease the verbosity (LogLevel) when errors are being written to stderr.

~v Increase the verbosity (LogLevel) when errors are being written to stderr.

Docomo unveils instant translator glasses in Japan
> I recently stopped to congratulate a young mother pushing her toddler in a stroller. The woman had been talking to her barely verbal daughter all the way up the block, pointing out things they had passed, asking questions like "What color are those flowers?" and talking about what they would do when they got to the park.
This is a rare occurrence in my Brooklyn neighborhood, I told her. All too often, the mothers and nannies I see are tuned in to their cellphones, BlackBerrys and iPods, not their young children.

Consider the thorny issues of courts forcing people to turn over passwords to decrypt phones to implicate themselves. Typically, it's a constitution tarpit as you should not be forced to implicate yourself.

However, your fingerprint is a username in that case because it is all over the place. The police already have it. Don't be fooled, there are certainly kits being sold to law enforcement to dupe TouchID. You're data is less protected from those that you'd probably prefer not have easy access to it now.
I wonder how much targeted attacks to recover that go for on the black market? Would the phone thief still make a profit?
I would say it is. Just pre networking with others in the group alongside the talks makes me think going in person could be worth while. Sometimes you can't quite replace face to face. That being said, I streamed the talks last year since I didn't apply on time and loved it.

Perspective: I'm in a similar position to you with missing some work and what not. It's a lot easier for me since my pay is project based rather than hourly though..so take this with a grain of salt. Best of luck with your decision!
To be fair, saying everything on Hacker News is in San Francisco is like walking into San Francisco and saying everything is in San Francisco.
I always wondered who was behind the huge tech campaigns.... Wow. Enlightened.

Not looking at going into the job, but any chance you would be willing to share your competitor in the GOP party? They must have one right?
I have to correct myself: Yes you're correct. I thought that the top left blinking arrow indicated that a car passed but that's very wrong. It's just displaying the road construction arrow and the rate or cars is indeed about twice as high.
This is correct. As someone who was programing a "mobile website" targetting the company's fleet of blackberries, it was clear the blackberries days were numbered. A fortune 500 company blackberries were king, but my boss made sure that we testing on ios/andriod as we starting to see non blackberry phones at work. The non blackberry phones were from higher ups who could push for support.
As a college student looking for an internship at the kind of company who posts on Hacker News, thank you so much. This is great.
US websites suspended after federal shutdown

Only list what's absolutely necessary here. Try to keep it to five one-line bullets or less.

At the moment the U.S. government is remarkably sane about this. People who renounce citizenship can re-enter the USA on tourist visas, get work visas (like an L-1), etc. They can even get green cards and re-acquire citizenship.

"Sane" will continue until we have a critical mass of people like Senator Schumer in the Senate.

Disclaimer: I am a lawyer. And I do lots and lots of expatriation cases.
Has anyone made a todomvc implementation using this?
As has already been stated many, many times, for most Americans living abroad who are not super-rich, the issue isn't the taxation - it's the complexity (and associated penalties) of the reporting requirements.

Basically, the US government's attitude toward Americans living outside the US, much like the US attitude toward non-Americans wherever they live, is "F* You."

Perhaps you think that this attitude is somehow justified. As a US citizen myself, I think that it is detrimental to long-term US interests.

Sure, but when traffic jams happen you often see not just ONE lane of traffic slowing down at the merge point but ALL lanes of traffic slowing down. On a four lane freeway narrowing to three lanes it's not the case that the two right lanes are stop & go and the two left lanes are 80MPH. EVERYONE slows to 10MPH. Furthermore the notion that you'll get 2000 cars per hour at the merge point irrespective of speed is ludicrous. Once everything slows down people act really douchey and don't let each other merge, etc.

I have witnessed eight lanes of traffic slow from 70MPH to 10MPH over a single poorly designed merge when there was more than enough aggregate free space for the merge. That happened because drivers don't accelerate hard enough on onramps and people don't redistribute themselves prior to shitty merges.

Show me a society that has no traffic jams and I'll show you one that's ready for socialism. Or vice versa.

Maybe the reason to not give up citizenship is simply "The option to go back to being a US resident-citizen and enjoy all other benefits". I can't see why this benefit needs any funding.
Also important is the fact that BingItOn reports Google results different from what I get when I search the same term on Google.com. My guess is that my results get tailored to my profile on Google.com and BingItOn.com is untailored. The thing is, tailored results are very useful. When I search Ruby, I get much better results in my own Google.com than either set on BingItOn.com.
People probably hesitate because it'd be such a pain in the butt to get the citizenship back.
It's a pretty flimsy metaphor, but just because I go on long trips and stay in hotels, doesn't mean I'm not obligated to pay rent on my apartment back home. My status as tenant is recognized through my contribution of my monthly rent. Without it, I have no standing. My decision to live elsewhere, either in the short term or longer, means I either have to deal with paying double housing or give up my apartment.
That's correct. Once you have renounced U.S. citizenship you are like all the other billions of people on the planet--if you qualify to re-enter the USA and apply for citizenship, you can do so.

The tax rules for giving up citizenship have specific provisions fully expecting people to give up citizenship twice. :-)

SEEKING FREELANCER - Chicago / SF / Remote

EdTech startup in Chicago seeking native iOS developer. We build classroom management software around the language learning space and need some more engineering help to get an iPad version of our Mac app developed.

We're looking to hire someone okay with project-based compensation (a % upfront and fixed payments upon meeting milestones). We're targeting at least mid-high 5 figures for about 3-5 months of work.

Email for a more detailed description of what we'd like to build, but from a technical perspective, we're looking for an iOS engineer that knows (at the very least) the following backwards and forwards:

- Low-level media manipulation

- iOS multimedia frameworks (AVFoundation, AudioUni, CoreAudio)

- Fully asynchronous communication over RESTful APIs (NSURLConnection, Other supporting classes like NSURLProtectionSpace, NSURLCredential, etc.)

I don't know whether this is true, but it feels true, and I've been operating as if it were.
Many image processing algorithms are taken from the signal processing world, and probably initially employed to process audio during the construction of the Bell telephone system. There's a lot of mathematical similarity between a visual and audio signal, the differences are primarily in the human receivers.

So this may well be a case of borrowing audio processing techniques from an image processing library and then using it to process audio.
My sole benefit is that my parents have not died, and I don’t want some hopped-up border bureaucrat to be able to tell me that I can’t visit them (or my brother) for five years because his coffee was too hot.

Remember how much arbitrary and non-appealable power U.S. border guards have over visitors.

I get nothing else from my U.S. passport, because the only country I use that passport for is…the U.S.
Except that Microsoft was doing phones and tablets long before the iPhone.

What were they missing?
Yeah. The Canadian tax system is simple enough that I could do it on paper. I mostly use an on-line system because it helps me balance the deductions my wife and I have for best tax benefits.
The only thing different between a your fingerprints and a password is that you can change your password...
It's made on google app engine, there's no intention on being shady. That's why I use gumroad.com for payments. I would have made a kickstarter on this. But it isn't available where I live.
That's really harsh. Someone living abroad could easily spend > 35 days/year in the US on business or visiting family.
Netcraft Site Report for http://kepulauan-seribu.com
sorry ... but this is likely a hoax maybe phishing. It's hosted on a sites.google.com account with the old google logo. Who is up-voting it? Can you give some more information about the legitimacy of the event?
That's not true at all. Firstly, any PNG would have a limited resolution, requiring massive file sizes to be indistinguishable from an SVG. Secondly, browsers don't scale bitmaps with perfectly alias-free filtering, which means you get artifacts when scaling down and blurryness when scaling up.

Both of us have just as much evidence. A baseless suspicion is all that I intended to give.
Well I hope not. I sent in my info. Thankfully nothing that isn't public anyway.
You're right -- it feels true, which probably explains why it has so much staying power. Though the idea has been around for decades, it was really popularized by Hart and Risley in the 90s. However, it has been popping even more frequently over the past couple years.

A few months ago, when a similar article ran in the New York Times, Steven Pinked opined:

Paul Potvin shows off games for the old Tandy 1000. Most of the games are written in BASIC, one of which we get to see the source code for. It's fine example of what an early PC was like. Most games were programmed by hobbyists, anyone could see the source code, and anyone could make their own game. It was simple and fun.

I've found that the key to success in this is context and setting.

Rather than going somewhere because there are women there, go somewhere you would like to go regardless and don't worry about approaching anyone, just relax and have a good time.
Everything is dependent on mindset and setting. You, the same exact person might be anxious and uncomfortable in a loud club, and at the same time you might be the most confident guy in the room at a cocktail party after a business conference...or vice versa. So go to places that play to your strengths.

i.e coffee shops are a terrible place to meet people. There's absolutely zero sexual energy and everyone there is just trying to get some work done.

If you're in the bay area, email me(email in my profile) and I'll show you exactly what I mean.
Thanks for the invite. We'd like to get a bus, if there's extra space you'd be welcome to join.
David Cameron: 'I don't know the price of value bread - I have a breadmaker'
Ousting the founder-founder from the company and leaving it to non-founders, that's the worst decision any investor, co-founder, board member can make for a company. Good luck.
This is a disadvantage only when you are on trial. That's a pretty extreme contingency, and I think most people who aren't internet privacy advocates wouldn't be particularly worried about their phones, of all things, after they've been arrested and indicted.

Outside the HN bubble, this is an acceptable tradeoff. People who are concerned can continue to use passwords.
I'm pretty sure it's a hoax ... check there's no information about the event organizers. All forms etc. are from
free google products (forms, drive maps) and at the stage right now it's highly unlikely in my opinion that google would host an iOS hackathon ;)
Obviously you are incorrect, the GP is claiming that the tax burden costs more than the worth of any privileges he's getting. I bet it's more a problem of choosing where to go permanently that isn't equally awful in a different way. Your assertion is ridiculous, as if everyone thinking about it who doesn't immediately renounce is getting fat off "entitlements" and is loving it.
Friendship and Natural Selection
I wonder what they would gain by this. And they would know how quickly it will get shut down by google. The most damaging info I gave them is a list of apps I've made. So, one more customer for me? Yay.
Definitely seems sketchy to me. Particularly this line on the application form:

Have you ever successfully released an app
on the Apple Market? *

The application form itself is an embedded Google Docs form with this unfortunate footer:

This content is neither created nor endorsed by Google.
Did a 9 year old write up that page?
If you're seeking work, put contact information in your profile!
Definitely a hoax, but I highly doubt it's phishing. Nothing they can really gain from it. All in good fun?
This article is based on the false premise that somebody with deep knowledge can predict disruptors.

I'll tell you why talking heads/pundits/experts couldn't predict, because they are useless, and the whole business of market disruption prediction is built on a ridiculous premise.
But not if you explicitly renounce to avoid taxes, there's a checkbox for that in amongst the "have you ever committed acts of terror?" questions.
A consumer focus.
The same goes for if you want to teach your dog a crazy number of things casually (upstairs, downstairs, names of people, names of toys, go-to-crate, names of rooms, difference between food and water bowls, ...).
I've read many articles recently that make similar claims. Chapter 10 of NurtureShock talks about this. Anecdotally, the idea seems to be growing in popularity idea among my fellow parents.

One way to capitalize on this would be to create a mobile app which functions like a pedometer, except it counts the number of words you speak to your child. Parents could talk to their kids during playtime, and the device would listen in and use natural language processing to interpret the conversation. Parents would later get a report on the frequency, complexity, and novelty of the words used. They could chart progress over time.
Personally I'd consider a fairly major book written by a harvard professor to be a bit more than a "hipster-startup-hack-bias re-definition." In the study of technology management, the term "disruptive innovation" has become a term of art that encapsulates a complex set of concepts into a single term. It's no more a "re-definition" that using the term "material impact" in regards to corporate finance.
It's very obviously not built by google. For starters the map is done wrong. The logo is old. I could go on but I think that is enough.

But I also don't think it's a phishing attempt. What they "collect" is basic information that a simple first name last name google can return for most of the people who fill it out.

And to top it all off, they have a radio button that says "By submitting this application you agree too ..." that actually has to be selected +_+

Most countries will, if you declare that you are closing up shop and living in anther another country for more than a year, allow you to cease all involvement with that country (including tax, levies, welfare), and then welcome you back as a citizen when you decide to come home. It's just too complicated otherwise.
