I know everyone here is cheering for that move and inherently it probably is good. But what will inevitably happen is that we will see more people that come on the show for solely/mainly publicity reasons. We already see that happening right now occasionally when people ask for like 5% equity with clear objective or not making a deal with the sharks

I have heard about day laborers lingering around HomeDepot, etc., hoping to land a stint with contractors (builders) who happen to make materials purchases at HomeDepot, etc. but never heard of Wal*Mart, HomeDepot, etc. hiring these people to work in their businesses.
Visualizes Node.js streams in the browser
Yeah I'm in the market for a new Hacker News reader because the one I was using before has broken since I installed IOS7 and no longer shows the full text of comments.

But this app doesn't show any comments yet so its still got some ways to go.
Comment are essential, would buy with comments.
The ending: "Try this: build 1 website in 1 day" reminds of something an internet spam/dark arts guru said that really inspired me (won't link for reasons): "If someone held a gun to your head and said you have 24 hours to build a website, you'd have a website built within 24 hours."
Meet BrowserStig.js: Developer Friendly Browser Automation
Understood. I'm just saying that as an MVP I'm not sure it demonstrates as much value as I'd like. (That's just to me, personally, of course -- I'm sure different people search differently.)
Now is the perfect time to launch this, because the other HN reader is having trouble displaying comments. But you need to show us how comments are handled in your app.
I was under the impression that GP was talking about the general case. Specifics are always, well, specific to that case:)
Tesla stock plunge continues after Model S battery fire
I hate the "you are a shill" retorts too, but damn if your response doesn't make it look like they are correct in this case.
As an alternate perspective, here's Philip Greenspun: http://philip.greenspun.com/careers/women-in-science .
After reading the first sentence of the post, I paused and tried to imagine what would come next. I had three guesses:

1) A clean, unconditional apology, like: "I screwed up, I'm going to fix it". I had very little hope since people don't often admit this type of things.

2) A defensive apology (that is, not really an apology): "Yeah I kinda screwed up a tiny little bit, but really it wasn't my fault, the predecessors..."

3) A smart-ass offensive strategy: "aha, you don't get it, our t-shirts are really cool, you should be happy that we even offer gifts and recognitions, you ungrateful bastards"

My ideal answer would have been 1) of course. Turns out, he exceeded my expectations (I'm the cynical jerk, here). He was a good guy in the story, explained the situation without fake apologies, or anything. Great answer.
Exactly. This guy accidentally crossed into market norms by doing something that seemed completely reasonable at the time.

Imagine you ask a friend over to help fix your car in exchange for beer. This would clearly not be interpreted as payment, but as a way of saying thanks. Now suppose it turns out they generally like beer but hate the particular kind you purchased, so you feel bad and give them $10 to buy themselves a beer they like. Suddenly, thinking you were doing something nice, you've crossed into market norms.

This, as far as I can tell, is basically what happened.
I don't think it's a one time shot, unless you get banned.
Purported Android 4.4 KitKat screenshots and new features revealed
We've seen many "articles" on HN that were basically Google+ posts. Some people use Facebook instead of G+ for similar purpose.
It's more moral than killing someone over a threat based on the pure conjecture that carrying out the threat will result in a punishment by a 3rd party.

Isn't the real threat the 3rd party that would be doing the jailing? Why is freely communicating what some people did a grounds for murder? He's not the one that is doing the locking people up -- it just so happens to be more convenient to murder him then to take on the justice system. Convenience does not make it the moral course of action.
Reminds me of Knuth sending cheques for corrections to his books; like Picasso's doodles, pity the fools who cash them :)
Anyone dealing with production code should do this, in my opinion. Hope for the best but plan for the worst.
It's not that we care what nutjobs think; it's that this kind of thing is ammo for nutjobs to use to convince otherwise rational people that a crazy nutjob theory just MIGHT be right.

On your point about inventory: we'll have all of that. We're using the Edmunds API, and they give us the ability to show inventory near you.
That helps prevent pilot errors. It doesn't help identify mechanical/software failures after the plane is in billions of tiny pieces.
I worked for a company that tried to sell prediction markets (we worked on the Policy Analysis Market, if anyone remembers that debacle), and the legality is one of the biggest sticking points.

It was pretty easy to sell the idea, but invariably once the contract landed in the legal department they'd put the brakes on, and we'd have to do some contortions involving play money that gets converted to real money and so forth. Once you start taking the real money out of the equation the results are a bit more suspect.

Nevertheless we did manage to convince a major media company, a couple large pharma companies, and an advertising company to set up some small scale prediction markets.
Being homeless to raising $100,000
I love the idea, but I want it for used cars. I don't by new cars as I think they're a waste of money.
You don't want the vehicle to look show room ready. You want the people inside the vehicle to be unharmed. The best way to achieve that is for the vehicle to absorb the forces of the impact. Thus making it not look showroom ready.
It works for me:)
One unlocked front door does not equate to a vulnerability allowing anyone to take over your @yahoo.com email account, unless of course in that house there was a file cabinet full of other people's personal information.

According to the Google reward program (http://www.google.com/about/appsecurity/reward-program/), a vulnerability of this type seems to be worth somewhere in the $5,000-$10,000 range.

Granted, the security researcher lamenting the lack of Yahoo's appropriate bug bounty program has no right to be righteously indignant about a gift certificate, but it seems clear now that Yahoo knew there was a problem with their bug bounty program and were in the process of fixing it anyway. I have no idea how much money such a vulnerability would be worth on the black market, but I suspect it is more than $12.50.

If I am ever in a position fortunate enough to have to make this sort of decision, I can say that I will be keenly interested in keeping these security researchers on my side. That appears to be exactly what Yahoo is doing now, so kudos to them!
It does have pocket integration though. So in summary, a beautiful UI to read HN articles with pocket integration for read later, but no access to comments
I wish Hacker News didn't allow marketing fluff like this. It's the same thing that happened to Slashdot. The MBAs took it down.
We released code for a Bitcoin market yesterday, opened it up to the community. The code is good, tested, and is now OS. So have at it. I think that Bitcoin has had enough press in recent months that there is enough traction for a few more companies to really make legitimate marketplaces if they can build the infrastructure. Hopefully the Coinpost project provides them with that. https://github.com/brighton36/CoinPost
Not it has not, yes it has. Web development is for many intents and purposes now the equivalent of software development. That there are other areas of interest (embedded, systems software, application development and so on) does not detract from the fact that if you want to do software development web development is more than likely your point of entry and it's a field wide enough and deep enough that you could easily lose several careers in it.

So for her it is a broad foundation to jump off of, more so than assembly language programming or toying around with clojure.

>On page 107-108, the court has this to say about a loss of trust from Lavabit's customers, in the event that Lavabit hands over its SSL keys: "Any resulting loss of customer "trust" is not an "unreasonable" burden"

This is one of the reasons why I have literally no respect for the US court, USG's supposed authority. They are all corrupt, lying, authoritarian asshats.
Your understanding is not accurate from my read of the court docs. They wanted their black box (you know the ones), called a pen/trap device in the documents, to be installed on the network. It won't work without the SSL keys, so they wanted those. He offered to modify his software to intercept a single user's email, but they said no.
Is there any data to suggest that single founders who overcome the increased difficulty also have greater success than their peers? Or is it like running with rocks in your shoes — unnecessarily painful?

Very good stuff. Don't let up!
TIL there is no typeof === 'array'. -_-
For a paid app, the lack of basic core features (i.e. to simply view comments) indicates a lot of work needs to be done. The existing free readers out there are a bit more capable.

I ended up buying it since I'm still looking for a good HN reader out there that does all of: indenting comment threads, gives you the choice of browsing directly to the story without going through comments, and displaying key story information beside the story, such as the number of votes.
If you haven't seen it yet, you'd probably appreciate this (or perhaps this was the inspiration for your comment in the first place):

Careful champ - that was not necessarily a snarky comment. A more charitable reading would be that the andyl thinks that the OP could make more money / have a better career by focusing on what is clearly an intuitive gift that is highly valued in the employment market...
I hate to say it, but it does suck, quite a bit. The interface is nice and clean, but the functionality isn't there.

I tried redoing my recent search for a good SUV-like vehicle. I started off in SUV, hoping I could pick models to compare between. I headed straight for the Subaru section, since I ended up buying an Outback. But the Outback was not there. The CrossTrek, Forester, and Tribeca were there. The Outback ended up being under Cars, even though it is, arguably, more of an SUV than the Tribeca.

Okay, so I found one of the cars I was wanting to compare. How do I choose others? Oh, no way to do that. Okay. Well, let's at least look at the Outback.

I have tabs, that shows me different model years, not much else there. Down the left side are some, but not all of the engine and trim options. Clicking them does...nothing. The main content is a bunch of pretty marketing photos. Finally, at the very bottom is the first actual information about the car. The price and the MPG. I would also say that it has the "Category", but seeing as it says the Outback is a "Car", when it is either an "SUV", "Crossover", or "Wagon", I can't really count it.

Oh, but look, they have an affiliate link that takes me to Edmunds! Finally, a site where researching new cars doesn't suck!
Recently, the I Love Marketing podcast had an hour discussion with former-Shark Kevin Harrington:

I've got a new book project, "Learn Ruby on Rails" that I'm launching with a Kickstarter campaign (the book is nearly complete).

Should I post it as "Show HN" or just submit the link?

The solution is to use a bug tracker within the SCM:

http://bugseverywhere.org/ (my personal favorite, but there are 3/4 other options that you can look into).

Not only it does offer distributed bug tracking on the command line (without breaking your workflow), but it implicitly allows to isolate bugs to branches. You can fix a bug in a branch, and a subsequent merge of the changeset will automatically fix the current branch.

I don't understand why these projects are so underrated. In "early git times", distributed bug tracking on top of git was quite a hot subject. They solve many issues nicely.

Github might be a "nifty" viewer, and I do host projects on github for added visibility (by simply using a second push remote), but that's about it. I find "tig" and "bugseverywhere" to complement git nicely and work much better than any web browser could.
Preferably modified Stuxnet. They'd get the taste of their own medicine.
I think the coolest thing about watching the project is that some of the ideas are like, actually good ideas. Maybe not huge ideas, but they're good ideas. I especially like Open Note. I always thought the bottleneck for Jennifer would be thinking of 180 ideas in time to make them into websites, but nope!
And yet I love my Chromecast so much. An amazing first step.
This post is sort of defeatist. Definitely, self awareness is important, but I think that the vast majority of talent is from practice and study as opposed to something innate.
It doesn't really matter how much work goes into something. That doesn't make it "Viable" or a "Product". Right now, it's only accomplishing "Minimal".
This sounds like a feature, not a product. Not sure if you're trying to sell this in the future, but something to keep in mind

The Hidden Dangers of Chopshop Electronics
Things change, as do circumstances. I may be saving for a $600 phone, but after a couple of months, I opt to buy something else with that money instead. Now the original vendor has nothing. If a vendor makes a profit on the device after $300, it behooves them to offer it to me at $520 to ensure they have that $220 profit.

A bird in hand is better than two in the bush.

> Make For the Sake of Making

I don't get this strange virtue of new-age geeks. If you said "Make For the Fun of It", i'd get that; making can sure be fun. But making things for no point whatsoever, other than to keep yourself busy? At least with knitting you eventually get practical use out of what you spent time on.

I have a shelf of unfinished projects and directories full of thousands of lines of unfinished code. In retrospect I wish I had spent my time flying a kite.
You must've total+= arraySum(i[x]) right? Otherwise this couldn't work as the result of a deep dive wouldn't be utilized anywhere...

Acronym is the creme de la creme wrt technical wear
Whhen i first started coding, i thought i had to go revisit all my math classes that i had forgotten. Still i have that same problem. When picking up a new api or something, instead of learning just how to use it quickly, i end up trying to learn a lot of its nuances first :S
There was no insult in that reply, but clearly you have nothing of value left to say.
You say, "go directly to the companies that actually have a reward program in place" while Ramses says, "when you work for a company that serves more than 800 million people every month, you take network and user security very seriously." Ramses would probably prefer you not to discourage vulnerability reporting in the way that you have. But more importantly, his tone is entirely different. He doesn't mention the term "entitled" once, and he doesn't imply that the original report was somehow deficient.
Technically speaking he did comply with the order. They never specified what format it should be in.

Plus companies shouldn't be required to beautify data for the government. They got what they asked for it-s up to them to figure out how to use it.

I know this is a bit sneaky this time but if they allow this to stand then soon companies will have to employ full time staff to beatify data for the government with pretty graphs and such because a database dump is incomprehensible.

It's like a kid asking you how to make a website and then complaining that HTML, CSS, JavaScript,etc is incomprehensible.
I fully anticipated a test case like file.name.ext. Of course, you could still do what you're doing, but it'd be a lot more verbose.
I hate to break it to you, but the amount of work that goes into a product is completely irrelevant. It's all about the usefulness to the end-user.

If the amount of work mattered, we would be digging holes with spoons instead of backhoes.
Remember you told me to tell you when you were acting 'rudely and insensitively'? Remember that? You're doing it right now.
Too many cloud services? No but there are too many Fill-in-the-blank-aaS
Well, Amazon's French competitors have to comply with French labor law. So there's a mismatch and market distortion there. If they don't want to change their labor law, you can see why they'd take other, ameliorative measures, even if banning low prices seems silly.

At least Amazon can still compete on service and convenience, which are their strengths anyways.

I'm not even saying I agree with labor law in France, I can just see, things being what they are, why this is more reasonable than it looks for them.
+1 to this, while some folks seem rather dismissive of web site design as "programming" (and I did back in the HTML4 days but these days, its very much a program) here is someone who has looked at this particular aspect and poked into a bunch of different areas. And that is all good.

So much better to have 6 months experience building web sites before you say "I'll just make a career in building web sites" :-)
In the particular case where the business subject to the orders is trying to provide privacy or secure communications services, the secret orders to enable spying on all the users also violates the 5th amendment.

In such a case, the order commands the operator to destroy the basis of his business. This is a "taking" without compensation in direct violation of the 5th amendment. It takes all the goodwill the business has built up and the ability to continue in the line of business, removing all the value the owner has invested in.
Because an employee feels that a lot of people have an entitled view towards security payouts as opposed to just reporting them because its the right thing to do...this means that that Yahoo has a bad attitude towards security?

Could you please explain your logic there?
I'm curious why you think she should become a marketer? While she's clearly been able to gain attention (a key part of a marketer's job), she has also proven to be a self-starter, capable of learning new, complex things, and can communicate effectively (at least in written word). These are skills and traits that can take you far in any profession, provided you have at least a basic aptitude in the field (which Jennifer clearly demonstrates).
What the heck are you talking about? C'mon man...

total += arraySum(i[x])
} else if(typeof i[x] == 'number') {
total += i[x]
}
}
return total
}

Re 24 hours: I would, because I would outsource it on elance.

I like coding too much to be a professional and focus only on getting things done. There is joy in reinventing the wheel and messing about.
I'm sure you're right about the new boards being a response to the rpi. I just have mixed feelings about the possibility of competition between two open source hardware systems. Maybe it'll produce innovation, or maybe just duplication of effort.

I didn't say I disliked them. Since I didn't make myself clear: I do wish them well.
A "developer-focused" approach seems like overkill for most sites, but I could see it finding a home in large institutions (universities, companies, etc) that have dedicated development teams.
