Ask HN:  What FaceBook 'ScreenNames' were you able to capture?
I saw some good ones disapear quickly:

Facebook.com/
-innovation
-nanotech
-solar
-etc...

What did you walk away with?
I think we need a multi-view HN in which we can filter out all non-hacking related news.

In that way, you cater both technical users as well as non-technical ones.
"5) Full page Zoom: A better alternative to larger text, zooming increases the size of the page without distorting the layout by only increasing the text size. Introduced by opera in 1996, and now all major browsers have this feature."

And now only Opera still has this feature working properly!
Seriously, no other webbrowser scales tables, images and videos properly like Opera. A relevant feature if you use a 30" monitor.

I think the problem is that a lot of people misuse reviews. When I read Amazon or Yelp ratings, I rarely look at how many stars something has. People add or subtract stars for reasons that don't make sense and don't mean anything. I have seen 3-star reviews on Yelp with the text, "This is the best food I've ever had in my life, the service was amazing, and it was cheap." Why that is not 5 stars is beyond me, but it's the Internet... and people are weird.

When looking at reviews, I read the content of the review to see if what upset the reviewer would also upset me. (I was looking for dentists on Yelp the other day, and saw a review that was something along the lines of "My insurance wouldn't pay the claim, so they made me pay!! Bastards!!". Although that one star review brought down the overall rating of the business, it is a problem with the review, not with the business. The review was for his insurance company, not for the dentist.)

Similarly, I read glowing reviews and look for the parts I care about. If I'm reading a review of a digital camera, I really don't care if the reviewer thought it looked nice or that the box was pretty, I care how long it takes from the time I turn the power switch on to when I can take the first picture. Obviously the reviewer could lie about this, but I've never seen it happen.

So, you get out what you put in. If you just look at the stars, you could probably save yourself a lot of time by flipping a coin.
The 'off-line' model is actually quite common in the wedding world. I know a person running a wedding website hosting (planning, photos, invitations, etc) site where the couple can get everything on a CD once the wedding is over for a small charge.

Useful to keep these additional models in mind when thinking of a new business idea
Well, sure. Most apps are waiting for IO -- waiting for the network, waiting for the disk to read a file, or waiting for the user to do something. No multi-core processor is going to speed that up.

However, many algorithmic problems parallelize well. It's just that it doesn't really matter for "desktop users". (See also: the popularity of netbooks.)

Yes. I was too lazy to type that. :o) Anyway, it also works with polynomials (and even better there):

x / (1-x-x^2) = 0 + x + x^2 + 2 x^2 + 3 x^3 + 5 x^4 + ...

(FYI: Look up "Generating Functions" in "Concrete Math" or on the Web. A lot of operations on sequences e.g. adding them, multiplying by a scalar, convoluting them, splicing, taking every n-th element, can be done efficiently and elegantly on their generating function.)

Very into this. I twitter most of the things I find interesting in the same vein.
Please people, please! This is not a place to post Facebook, Twitter and MySpace news.

When sensationalism and hype comes in, intellectully satisfying discussion dies out.
So...anyone tried to sell one of these yet?

If I was prepared to re-register on Facebook, ask my friends to move over to the new account and clear my photos, presumably there isn't really any other reason why I couldn't eBay the vanity URL. I think the most likely problem would be if Facebook spotted what I was doing and decided to close the account. Has anyone tried it yet?

EDIT: I see some for sale on Assetize already. Will be interesting to see how this turns out.
And what do you think the client does with this? It downloads the file and implements the CSS rules.

Whether or not it is "hidden" from an average user, doesn't mean you are not using CSS.
Maybe it would be possible to develop a viral app (spreading over FB/Twitter) for the iPhone and let it spread with a bit more steadiness than relying on being in the top list.
Basically, yes. But 1/89 is a nifty example.
That's a really, really awesome idea. It's like combining the best of twitter with the best of social news.
Have you tried proggit? http://reddit.com/r/programming

It's pretty tunnel-vision, programming focused.
I doubt it. Perhaps the interesting discussion and activity comes precisely from the fact that this community does not suffer from programming tunnel vision.

One-dimensional minds are rarely interesting to converse with, no matter how far they go in that one dimension.

I want all developers happy and if his vision of happy does not include marketing, this may make him better off.

That said, if you want to make money in software, you will eventually need to commit the sin of marketing. Repeatedly, with much work even predating 1.0.

iPhone development needs marketing, too. Bad news, though -- it is all Apples garden and you are a bug in it, tolerated only to the extent the iPlant needs pollenization. The user base is being taught apps are worthless and to expect massive churn. This expectation cuts the knees out from under developer originated marketing, which can take years to get right. Plus, low unit price means advertising is hard to get right, and low perceived value means users cannot be bothered to install apps from outside the AppStore.

It seems to me the solution would be not to rely on Amazon reviews. IMHO specialized "price watcher" sites with a large enough community do a better job in this respect.
That classCreate syntax looks really bad, I've not seen it used before. A more sane syntax would be...

var MyClass = SuperClass.extend({ ... properties ... });

which has been working quite well in my current projects.
While I can sort of see the funny side, I think this sort of crap is going to be the end of the Internet as we know it. It's just begging for the political and commercial powers that be to stamp down on the web with a great, big boot.

Media corporations have already started demanding more control over the "distribution channel" that is the Internet. When the lobbying steps up, politicians aren't going to have to look very far for justification to give the corporations exactly what they want.

There's a pretty big difference between being inspired by games in the past (see below), and systematically copying one specific game piece by piece - name included.

I'd like to note that I actually hadn't played any game like Stunt Pilot when I wrote it, although I've since played Pilot Wings. Stunt Pilot was designed to be a playable version of air racing.
Yawn. These stories are depressingly similar.

"I had a hit! I coulda been a contendah!" ;-)

I think the whole world now knows that, if you build something good & it goes viral, you can make a lot of money for a while. Then, with the app store churn, if you don't get and stay in the top 10-25 app charts, and don't do serious promotion, your app is almost guaranteed to fade away.

It's just begging for the political and commercial powers that be to stamp down on the web with a great, big boot.

No, this is the end of the ad-supported internet.

Politics doesn't matter; the (US) government cannot legally censor anything, they've tried, it's been declared unconstitutional. Companies don't care what they're hosting, as long as they are getting rich. If they could legally make millions of dollars a year hosting child porn, they would. (They have no objection to polluting the environment or forcing workers to work in unsafe conditions, directly resulting in many deaths every day. Showing videos on the Internet is child's play compared to that.)

However, it's the advertisers who will get upset, and then pull out. "Our product associated with porn being shown to children? Bye." With no advertising revenue, the web (as we know it) cannot exist. That means either censorship (too hard; "information wants to be free"), or actually paying money for content.

FWIW, this is not unheard of. The big Japanese video sharing site, NicoNico Douga, requires everyone to pay. Even though it's not free, it's more popular than Youtube.

In the end, the advertisers lose, and I think that's a good thing. I hate advertising.

Media corporations have already started demanding more control over the "distribution channel" that is the Internet.

They're demanding, but nobody cares about their demands. I know people whine about Hulu's restrictions, but I've never even visited Hulu and I still get all my TV online. It's called Usenet. You open your news reader, browse to alt.binaries.multimedia.tv-shows, or whatever, and download away. In 10 minutes, I have whatever show I want, in HD, with no restrictions. "Censorship is considered damage, and the Internet routes around it."

The whole "let's punish file-sharers" thing has also backfired. Even governments with very weak personal protections (France, the UK) have struck down the disconnection laws. The Pirate Party has 17% of the vote in Sweeden (and large numbers in other EU countries, I think). Organizations in the US are suing the RIAA for its lawsuit intimidation campaign.

The tide is shifting, and it's not towards the media industry's interests.

Basically, now is not time for the media companies to demand anything. Nobody cares what they think. If creating content isn't profitable anymore, they should go into some other business and stop bothering everyone else.
More disturbing is that we have found several firewire disks unreliable with Mac OS X recently, gradually freezing applications which are running to the point where the OS is unusable.

Happens on Seagate FreeAgent Desk for Mac and some no-name disk, and a small portable large brand disk (can't remember the mfg right now), leading me to think it is a firmware problem in the firewire disks. Oh well.
I am confused that YouTube didn't catch this in advance. I only casually keep myself informed of Internet memes, and I knew 4chan was going to unleash a bunch of porn on June 12th. If I know... everyone knows :)
Perhaps you mean "Advertising on UGC websites". And in that case, it's far more likely sites will just come up with better moderation tools to detect questionable content.

Online advertising is crucial for the survival of the internet. I kinda like the fact most sites are free to visit. You can hate it all you like, but without it, most of the internet wouldn't exist. I hate people who hate advertising :/ It's irrational. It's like saying you hate 'money', 'commerce' or even 'information'
Tips for Buying the Best Extended Auto Warranty
An extended auto warranty gives our car continued protection and gives us peace of mind. We must make sure to get the best extended auto warranty for our vehicle. Today we have so many options before us and deciding which auto warranty to choose can be highly confusing. Here are few factors that you need to take into consideration when buying your extended auto warranty.
Some really good sleuthing, but unfortunately no conclusions on what to do about the problem.

"They're demanding, but nobody cares about their demands."

Except politicians whose morals and wants stretch in proportion to the contributions they receive.

"Basically, now is not time for the media companies to demand anything."

That's not the point I'm trying to make. The point is that this sort of "vandalism" is going to change the whole landscape, everything you just described.

Perhaps now is not the time for media companies to demand anything -- but if you take the freedom of today's Internet for granted, sooner or later this sort of behaviour is going to come back and bite us all on the ass. It could progress such that if censorship fails, they could always go down the China route and use plain old-fashioned fear.
I will define "hating advertising" as "liking the lack of advertising better".

Fortunately, this is a decision I am free to make for myself. I can fast-forward through advertisements on television and block them on the Internet.

This is something the industrial designer Ross Lovegrove has been exploring for a while, here's the obligatory TED link: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/ross_lovegrove_shares_org...

He talks about early modernist design being dictated by the machining processes of the time, lathes and extrusion etc. producing the characteristic geometric work.

Slightly off-topic. An alternate idea for tailrecursion.com: how about creating a service which would provide 'unlimited' tail keywords. - the 'unlimited' part is just for the pitch to go with recursion.

This is of great interest/need to marketers and does involve recursion in a way that you use a seed to generate few keywords and then in turn use them to generate more. People would pay for it.
The First Amendment right to free speech is not absolute. Sure, the Supreme Court has usually rejected prior restraint, but try writing a book about how to make crystal meth and let me know how it turns out.

It's already true in China where Youtube has been blocked for many weeks now. All new PCs will be required to have censorware installed by July.

I enjoy using Youtube, but behavior like this helps justify the government's draconian measures, which is not so funny for the people who live here.
Living in a small European country, you run into similar problems. Being in the EU helps with physical goods (except new mobile phones until the unlocked versions make their way to the retail channels), but online services are pretty happy to ignore the fact that you even exist.

It gets even worse with media: each country has its own cartel representing entertainment copyright holders, meaning it's essentially impossible that we'll ever get something like hulu.com in Austria unless something changes in a big way. Presumably the legal hassles of working out contracts for each country individually are ridiculous, and simply not worth it in less populous countries. As with almost every aspect of the entertainment media industry, everyone loses: consumers, copyright holders and operator of the service.
I'm not sure I follow. Were you suggesting that YouTube disable uploads for the day?
(Update, posted here: http://bit.ly/l1Lvh)

What funny side is that?

I have never taken one of the attacks, defamations, etc. by people online personally nor felt in the least inclined to put an end to it all, but 4Chan strikes a nerve - what they do is pure, raw evil.

I know I'm doing them a favor by posting this, that these are the very feelings they intend to elicit by their actions, but honestly, enough is enough. This is the 2nd time I am so appalled by their behavior, and one of the few times I am ashamed of the internet's privacy and the power of its denizens to do evil.

The last time (http://bit.ly/qcWDC) was when 4Chan attacked an epilepsy forum frequented by people susceptible to photosensitive seizures, causing a dozen epilepsy attacks by uploading rapidly-moving images and flashing colors to the forum, triggering a dozen attack.

Willfully bringing about seizures in handicapped people and exposing children as young as 6 years old to wholly-explicit films of adult sex are E.V.I.L. .... and more importantly, punishable by law.

I hope someone wises up in the legal community and takes action against this site. Like I said, I know this is the sort of self-righteous anger that 4Chan is looking forward to receiving after these attacks, but there's a line and they crossed it a long time ago.

So, do tell, where's the funny side in this?

try writing a book about how to make crystal meth and let me know how it turns out.

I can't think of any reason that this might be illegal. The research you need to do to write a good book may be illegal, however. You can always do that in a different country, though.

And there's certainly no absolute right to anonymous speech....

The courts disagree. See, http://www.eff.org/cases/doe-v-cahill for example. (http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20051007151046... is a more in-depth analysis.)

Finally, "anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority ... It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights, and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation -- and their ideas from suppression -- at the hand of an intolerant society."
"Online advertising is crucial for the survival of the internet."

Which internet? There was plenty of internet before ads became common. Without ads some other structure would arise. It might change a bit but the internet is here to stay.

"I hate people who hate advertising :/ It's irrational."

I don't see anything irrational about disliking insidious, manipulative marketing messages being shoved in your face whereever you look. In fact I find it completely rational, what are you talking about? I am guessing that you rely on advertising for your income, but surely you can see the other perspective.

And saying that you "hate" people who hate advertising is pretty disturbing.
