See my other response on iframes:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6649195

One of my big surprises moving to Google was how much iframes are still used, but even beyond that is the very pragmatic approach of looking for exactly what a technology gives you and what it costs you in return. There's basically a 1:1 correspondence between the API of an iframe and the API of an XHR:

xhr.open = iframe.src

xhr.onreadystatechange = iframe.onload

xhr.response = iframe.contentDocument

Many devs don't like working with iframes because it doesn't fit their mental model of how a request should work (possibly because iframes were initially introduced with a visual extent), but that's a problem with their mental models, not with iframes. You can always wrap the API if you don't like it, anyway - pretty much all the major frameworks do, since raw XHRs are a bit clumsy to use.
HN always seems to have fairly spotty availability, but it is even worse today.
Even worse than the Samsung Galaxy Nexus?

For the record, I absolutely don't think that indefinite detention is an appropriate response.
If it's anything like the 2013 Nexus 7, it'll be a micro SIM.
Sync is one good reason if you're already using desktop Firefox.

I had problems using Firefox on a stock Android Nexus 4 (bugs with selecting text and freezing when scrolling) but it's been a flawless experience after switching to Cyanogen. I'm at a loss to explain the difference.
As someone who first got into SEO about a year before panda and penguin rolled out.. I have to admit, SEO has changed ALOT and Jill hits the nail on the head. Easy keyword related SEO tactics no longer work, Hummingbird has made sure of it..

It makes perfect sense if you break it down over the years...

1) Spammers found out they could manipulate rankings with the meta keywords tag.. shortly after, google started to ignore these keyword tags..

2) Spammers found out they could manipulate ranking with the meta description.. shortly after, google stopped using this description to rank sites..

3) Spammers realized they could build artificial link profiles, so google had to get smarter and started incorporated social metrics and became smarter about how they attributed value to links..

4) etc etc etc

It goes on and one, but basically, the only way google will ever be able to defeat spammers is to create an algorithm that is so smart it actually understands not only what the user wants, but also all of the content in its index.. it has to go much deeper than a simple keyword match - it has to parse out the intent of the searcher as well as the meaning of its content.
In general, the US constitution only specifies "citizens" and not "people" when it's talking about things like voting and holding office, etc. Rights (such as the bill of rights) are generally expressed as belonging to "people", not just the citizens of the US. It's also in the spirit of the declaration of independence that "all men are created equal", which would lead one to believe that they all have certain inalienable rights, citizen or otherwise. Just because the current xenophobic culture that is popular today doesn't jive with that doesn't change it. It also doesn't mean that Russians are subject to American law (at least not while in Russia), but that for things such as rights, they apply to everyone. So, for instance, some would maintain that warrantless searches, "close" to the border or otherwise, are unconstitutional no matter who they are performed on.
It appears that there are no laws at all in the US about vacation or sick day privacy, but your state may have some. A search for vacation privacy law and similar terms yielded the articles below. There appears to be some evidence that employees have no right to ask you what specifically you are doing on your PTO days, but I didn't find any evidence that prohibited employers from disclosing that you took a sick or vacation day to other employees. HIPAA might apply if for example you provided a doctor's note to HR that explained that you were getting a particular procedure done, and they put that info on the shared calendar. If that is a concern, you should just not share specifics. Just say "I'm requesting a sick day" or "I'm requesting a vacation day" and refuse to elaborate.

Can you apply for the Blue Card prior to finding employment? Or must you find an employer first to sponsor you?
Everyone makes mistakes. No one has perfect knowledge of the future. No one makes all the right choices at every point in their life, especially when they are young (and fertile). And people's economic situations change over time, sometimes for the worse.

The economic freedom to be insulated from poor choices, mistakes, and the vagaries of the myriad uncontrolled factors that we call "life" is a huge privilege.

I'd agree that in a perfect scenario, you should be able to push code at any time confidently. But for many companies and projects this is not really available. As well, in many organizations the person who has to fix broken stuff is not the same as who develops and pushes code. I'm not saying that's a good thing, but it is reality for many people.

Even if it only happens once in your career, once you've had a dev push out code at 5pm friday night, jet out the door and hit the bar, meanwhile you (the sysadmin/ops on call) get woken up at 1am by site down alert, and have to debug/rollback the changes while the dev who pushed them is unreachable, you learn to really avoid friday evening pushes. Fool me once...
Well, your two anecdotes certainly sold me. Clearly, poverty in America is entirely the result of careless people making bad choices.
Whats the preferred way to get google voice working on android ?
For the sake of having fun, do we want to add how fun is in the US:

- getting a credit card (to build a credit score) when you have no credit score.

- activate phone/internet: (incredible fees, pay for RECEIVING SMS (!!) )

- car insurance: ~1200$yr because your new driving license.

- gas and electricity (at least in Chicago): require a SSN, and 10 days of background check.

My colleagues and I did numerous presentations in National (U.S.) conferences in 2012 and 2013.
I’m sure that my team was the only one using Keynote instead of PowerPoint.

Taht being said, we get a lot of questions from the attendees and other presenters about our presentation. Other presenters wanted to know how to make theirs like ours in PowerPoint.
While there is a sort of a "when do you stop asking for keys" problem, that doesn't mean they will necessarily be able to compel you to provide that final key you don't want them to have. The fact that they haven't gotten what they're after yet is not evidence that you have more keys, because it's indistinguishable from the case where you've simply already deleted the files.

I'm not expecting them to shrug and say "we goofed", I'm expecting them to realize that with a well-designed deniable system, they can't tell the difference between you being uncooperative and there being nothing incriminating to find. If they can prove the files exist and you're refusing to give them up, then that's something they can charge you with, but as I indicated earlier, that's a different kettle of fish.

The big risk with deniable encryption, of course, is that the courts don't really understand it well and you end up in a situation where they are compelling you to provide information that actually does not exist (they think it's on a hidden aspect but they're wrong), and are willing to throw you in jail for not producing it. This risk is what leads me to the conclusion that the law must acknowledge that compelling complete decryption of all data is impossible.
"The only thing iOS does to improve is steal old ideas from Android and other operating systems."

Every time I see this I get irritated. What Apple does is take technology out there and do it better than anyone else. This is why they are the most valuable company and continue to make excellent product.

When I have to deal with an Android device at the office I feel immediate disgust because they all suffer the same flaws.
* An OS that can hardly run well on any hardware
* Garbage build quality
* Too much customization
* Vendor and carrier bloat
Well yeah, but maybe in real life they wouldn't announce to the room that they need a hug in the first place. Public Internet spaces have different social norms.
Coding is not for everyone. This concept of spreading coding like some sort of socialist agenda needs to stop.
When you are done backspacing, take a look at international tax rules in Brazil, specially regarding the taxes you must pay if you are an employee working for a foreign company.

Oh wait, you won't find any, because you are not allowed to. The way to do it is to create a company, even if it just you. Then you'll be able to receive international transfers from foreign companies, provided you have signed a contract.

And, after that, we can start talking about taxes. Considering that brazilian companies spend, on average, 2600 hours per year dealing with (domestic!) taxes, as opposed to 325h on average in the US, well...
Firefox for Android supports add-ons like Adblock Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/adblock-plus/

Firefox for Android also runs on Android 2.2 (Froyo) and later. Chrome only supports Android 4.0 (ICS) and later.
I ordered mine today as well (also a current verizon customer). No T-Mobile coverage here, but AT&T has some reasonably new Go Phone plans. I'm doing the $60/m unlimited talk/text w/2gigs 3g/4g data and options to buy more (you won't get mysteriously throttled). You'll also get access to ATT support rather than deal with something like Straight Talk. I would love to use Straight Talk but I can't risk my phone/sim being messed up for any long periods dealing with poor support. Even with the AT&T plan I'll save about $15/m (compared to Verizon) which will nearly cover my phone purchase over 2 years.
Is the data gathered going to be made public? Or does this data collected solely benefit FirefoxOS users?
Yes, yes, but does it smell like cat piss?
Did you make sure to file the FBAR report on all your foreign bank accounts and other financial accounts such as any mandatory retirement accounts? I believe the basic part of filing taxes (such as that) is pretty easy, the hard part is when you have to disclose every account that you may be considered to have control over and in some cases pay taxes on it. I think I saw somewhere else that you may have to pay US income tax on the gains in your German retirement account, even though its similar to social security and you have no access to it.

So does a rooted Nexus 4. It's got an LTE chip, and the N4 just got an FCC certification for LTE, so there might even be an official firmware update in the works to turn it on without rooting.
What's more likely to have happened: she lost her way of making money. She charged money and had to deliver. She no longer can thanks to Google.

Spin aside, Google is replacing more and more content with ads, Google's own stats show that ad clicks increased by 20+% while partner sites stayed flat (adsense). This increase was on top of another 20%-30% increase in 2012 so you get the idea https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6571571

More ad clicks equals less traffic to other sites so Google is rewarding their own pockets at the expense of other websites. Plain and simple.
How many people would buy a book of PG's essays with all profits donated to Watsi (or one of the next YC non-profits)?
$349/$399 isn't the price before taxes?

I'm not American so I'm not sure, but I think prices in America are always listed before taxes, while they're listed after taxes in Europe.

This makes it still cheaper in the USA than in Europe, but the margin is way smaller.
I'm on 3 weeks a year in the US and it feels entirely insufficient - 3 weeks is fairly standard for a senior role in a "good" company, btw.

I work far away from where my family lives, meaning the only time I really get to see them is over Christmas. Simply going back to visit them eats up 2 weeks out of my 3 weeks.

So each year I effectively only have one actual week for actual time off. It sucks. I am seriously considering negotiating for 5+ weeks at my next job, but this is basically unheard of in the USA.

Finally, true full screen support! That was my main gripe with Android VS iOS. Personally I find the navigation bar very hindering in games, where I have to be careful not to touch it (not to mention the wasted screen space). My young kids keep touching the navigation buttons by mistake, making using drawing/music apps a very frustrating experience for them. I hope that various app developers will catch up quickly with this feature.

Nexus 5 with KitKat: hands-on impressions
Why do Dell make such good monitors?

I bought the 24" u2412m earlier this year and it's superb. It doesn't look flashy, but cosmetics are not important. The build quality and color calibration on these things is absolutely incredible.
Google says the Galaxy Nexus will not be upgraded to Android 4.4 KitKat
Programmable NICs are definitely a thing, although I'm mostly aware of the $8,000 10 Gbps varieties. I wonder if you could jailbreak a Killer NIC...

I bought a Dell 30" for $2.6k NZD in 2006. In 2013 the same Dell 30" costs $2,239 NZD right now on their store.

The monitor still works, and still looks great. It must be the best tech purchase I ever made. I actually bought a second one earlier this year.
Try "employee health privacy". Regardless of legality, I don't know why an employer would even want to have a common/shared calendar that includes a history of sick days off. Of course, a manager would maintain that or have access to a system that maintains that, but I don't know why everyone else in the workgroup needs access to a history - even an unofficial one - of someone else's sick days off. I'm sure some will keep unofficial track, especially if the co-worker's absence impacts them - or they perceive that it does - but for the manager to purposely do that. . .I don't see the point.
I think one of the hardest systems to break out of is that of the "vicious cycle". It's very challenging when outputs feed into each other like that.

What I remember about being poorer is that vicious cycles are far more common when you are poor. You need the used car to be able to get to the job that will give you the money to afford the used car. The struggles of poverty are full of cycles like that.

The only way to break out of a vicious cycle is to shock the system, which tends to mean an asymmetric infusion of force - in poverty's case, that is usually the form of cash (or debt). It's the sort of action that is traumatic, and it often looks like it doesn't make sense. It's usually a short-term pain in exchange for the hopes of long-term improvement. "Breaking the cycle" is usually a traumatic, difficult action.

Now, I don't know much about buying a $2500 purse - it's hard to defend something so specific. But I do know that the forces that break cycles can look ridiculous or shameful in some way. A sudden windfall that you didn't "deserve", accepting help from a stranger in a way that feels humiliating, being selfish in a way that is not accepted in your social circle, showing "status", etc.

I am just reluctant to judge those choices from the outside, because I firmly believe that the poor have to deal with these cycles more than people of means, and that sometimes it takes a desperate act to break out of them.
One day I will write about the tragi-comedy that was my route to being able to start and run a startup as an immigrant.

Meanwhile, I want to highlight two things:

(1) My wife, who has a graduate degree from one of the best schools in the U.S. and has been living in the U.S. for a decade, is currently stuck in Canada indefinitely because on her 3rd visa stamping they decided that she may be a security risk and they need to investigate her because she took an information security class in grad school 8 years ago.

I am not exaggerating when I say indefinitely. They will literally not provide an expected timeline by which she will get an answer. She has met at least 3 individuals who have been stuck in this kind of limbo for over a year.

The cherry on the cake: this is the 2nd time this is happening to her. The first time, after 2 months, they decided she was o.k.

If you are going to use basic keyword filtering on an applicant's resume to flag them, at the very least you should learn from the false positives!

(2) For all the bad press that the H1B program gets, at least 50% of the people I know who got an H1B after going to grad school in the U.S. have actively tried to start a startup. Most gave up on it because of the high risk of being kicked out in the U.S. since there is no startup visa.

Would you start a startup if every time you left the country you risked not being let back in indefinitely? Most of my rational friends think I am crazy for taking that kind of risk.

Think about it - even anti-H1B advocates who think these H1Bs are stealing their jobs should be happy to let these guys get a visa to start a company so that they are not "stealing jobs"!
Hacker News 2 is virtually perfect.
Software engineering salaries in Canada are half what you get from a top-flight US company (e.g., Google, Facebook, etc).

Cost of living isn't that cheap either. Vancouver is an enormously expensive city to live in, and Toronto while cheaper also suffers from low software wages.
I'm surprised that Pyramid is absent from this benchmark. Is it that unpopular? I would have thought it's more widely used than Bottle, for instance.
Why oh why cant google fix the scrolling performance?

"Speaking of rendering, the old bugbear of Android has always been scrolling performance. Especially in Chrome, there's always been a sense of lag that seemed completely out of place on top-tier devices.
On the Nexus 5, we're very sad to report that the situation doesn't seem any better. There is still not a one-to-one relationship between your finger and the screen, and it's still crazy-making."
No it doesn't; you need at least one penis involved. /taking-snark-seriously
I did something similar. I moved some files around between a university computer and an SFTP mount (mounted through the ubuntu UI). When I leave those computers, I always execute "rm -rf ~" because they are restored to some image every time they boot anyway and I'd rather not leave anything personal behind. It was only when I started seeing "access denied" in my terminal that I realised that ubuntu had mounted the entire server on the other end in some hidden directory in my home folder, and that I was deleting every file on it for which I had write permissions. Luckily a quick CTRL+C saved my own files but I'm not sure the same could be said about a few students who were unlucky and had "loose" permissions in their home directories.
Yeah I am on a $600 27 inch U2713HM I got when it came out a year ago.

Took me a long time to accept the steep price but it has been worth it for my eyes.

$2600 nzd = $2200 usd, now that much I couldn't afford/justify.

I think the old Dell 30 inch has a harsh anti-glare coat that makes it sparkle? They finally solved that with the U2713HM which has a much lighter coat.
You're in luck - MicroSIM.
See below. It was tested for 9 years and didn't show significant corrosion. The leak happened not in the Hastelloy but in a ceramic seal between the alloy components. An appropriate seal or coating on the seal may be able to fix this issue. Overall, I'd say the containment issue is as you say mostly solved.

Here's the report:http://moltensalt.org/references/static/downloads/pdf/ORNL-T...
i must disagree. i have had foot and knee problems my entire life, to the point that i never enjoyed running or doing anything althetic becuase it hurt too badly.

since i started wearing the toe shoes, i learned to become more phsyically aware. my foot pain went away, and now i run regluarly and enjoy it. it's like night and day.

if wearing toe shoes gives people foot problems, it's because they've trained their bodies to wear shoes - and we didn't evolve walking on inch-thick slabs or rubber. our bodies weren't meant for it.

I love me some Word/Excel/PowerPoint (even the much maligned Ribbon), and Google Docs doesn't have anything close to Office's feature set. That said, the ability to edit a document simultaneously in Google Docs is its killer feature. The UX for this feature in Word/Excel (haven't tried PowerPoint yet) is nowhere near as good, in my humble opinion. I find myself doing collaborative composition in Docs and then, when necessary, moving to Word/Excel to finish editing. (Also, it would be nice if I could edit spreadsheets and presentations online in SharePoint.)

The Linux kernel 3.10 in Android 4.4 should support "device tree". I wonder if that will make it easier for OEM's to make "master images", at least for their own devices, which should make upgrading their own devices easier. But even if that happens, it will happen only from now on, and not with past phones.
Unless your from the UK or EU which just lets you get it again relatively easily or the consequences very minor, many countries make you go through the green card song and dance all over again. It's a pain in today's international world.

We had similar hopes, but for now we will continue to use our in-house multi part uploader. We have to sign every multi-part request server side, using an auth scheme that depends on the key and the user.

I'm not sure if it would be an improvement or not to give each of our users an IAM account that correlates to specific bucket acl which is based on user namespaces. It would lighten the load on our servers (don't need to sign each request) but now each user needs resources in IAM to be managed.
