"RANDOM.ORG offers true random numbers to anyone on the Internet. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs. People use RANDOM.ORG for holding drawings, lotteries and sweepstakes, to drive games and gambling sites, for scientific applications and for art and music. The service has existed since 1998 and was built by Dr Mads Haahr of the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College, Dublin in Ireland. Today, RANDOM.ORG is operated by Randomness and Integrity Services Ltd."
there was a strong correlation between the number of parking tickets issued to diplomats from a country and independent measures of corruption in that country, showing that the norms really were an important part, and carried over even into a different environment.

That makes sense, in the same way that you'll find that Americans tend to tip even in countries where tipping is not customary. The real question is how did those cultural norms start in the first place?
Did you try that exact search? It works just as you described :) We tried to make sure you could search by generic concepts rather than just the text in the class names.
Thanks for your reply, that's very informative. I'm Canadian (BC) and like to keep an eye on the health care system as my parents are aging and I'm looking to have kids soon.

Glad to hear you found treatment for your son, and best wishes for the future.
Thank you for sharing the story.

I agree that it is risky but I have found Galcon quite enjoyable.

"I can’t fault consumers or Apple for any of this."

I would fault Apple. If there was a separate section for curated indie games it would be cool. I am sure Sony and Valve think this way.

Overall my opinion is that subj game has a very niche appeal. I agree that it's better to use something like MonoGame or maybe Unity to have an option to target all platforms (it's not all easy, but iOS-only just doesn't seem like a good option anymore). It seems that the alternative solution is to take all the risk and maximize the polish then talk to publisher - what Little Thief and Ice Breaker did.
At least these guys are honest:

Not a Sublime user, but you can do this with many (most?) apps with simlinks from Dropbox folders into the "~/Library/Application Support" folders of your various OS X devices.

Some apps won't enjoy being open simultaneously, but if you keep this in-mind, this is generally a great solution.

Therefore Dropbox, not a homegrown process, syncs your settings
I like these icons, but one suggestion - can you put a link to the GitHub repo at the top of the ionicon page? It should be much more accessible than at the bottom.

Looks nice, but seems a bit to aggressively 'social' for my tastes.
It's far simpler to remove the need for passwords alltogether or at least minimise them than to offset the liability against your employees using security software correctly.
Some times taking more time (and/or better coders) to do something 'right' vs. just hacking it together is the difference between failure and success. So from an individual startup's POV this may not be worth doing. Having enough users/success to warrant a security breach is a luxury problem when viewed from the eyes of an entrepreneur with no product.

On the other hand, collectively, startups losing everyone's credentials/data are burning the commons wrt people's willingness to use new products.

But then on hand #3, it's not as if BigCo's have a much better record, so I guess this gets chalked up to the general 'why in the world do we release software this bad?' and the general answer is 'because people have been trained to accept it'. In the same way that if the car was invented today it'd never surpass our current health&safety considerations.

So I guess my point is, software is terrible in general, and security is just one aspect of many. As long as we don't have a better way to write it, it'll keep being bad. It's not fair to expect startups to set a higher standard, when they're optimising along several other dimensions at the same time.
This is actually implying that one of the listed entities is a department within company that produced this marvelous software. I wonder which.
No, this is real life. Services just like these already exist.
I've definitely had mixed experiences with Uber in San Francisco; In LA the drivers were excellent, here it seems to be hit or miss.

This seems to be a particular problem as regards UberX. With the Surge pricing making UberX more expensive, it's not really worth it for me if I have to show the guy where to go and he's not nice or accommodating in any way.
Apparently 75% of projects are late, but 94% deliver eventually. Lateness is worse for projects that significantly overshoot their goal.

My point is that "single-payer" doesn't mean one specific thing, and the implementation details in different political systems matter.
True, the ships move though and much of its heat dump occurs in deep water. Power plants and datacenters create a 'warm spot' which persists. This alters the environment around their heat dump (generally in a tidal zone) and that changes the things that live there (or can live there).

You point is a valid, and I don't defend the BCNC, just note that they try to regulate everything.

I'm not sure about that. The claim that [insert political force here] is able to claim legitimacy only through hypocrisy is one of the oldest in politics, and the article does little to sustain the questionable assertion that most US politicians don't recognize the power game they're playing.

It also misses the obvious corollary: other countries' hypocrisy is key to their willingness to accept US soft power when it generally aligns with their interests. (And yes, they're being just as hypocritical when they do selectively draw attention to America's hypocrisy)
The article's claims that pre-Snowden "Chinese officials, although well aware that the Americans were acting hypocritically, avoided calling them out directly" are easily falsified by a quick search of Xinhua

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/china/2011-04/10/c_138...

There's nothing remotely novel about other countries' willingness to assert that the US is hypocritical (particularly when on the defensive) and nothing to suggest they won't continue to maintain the relationship despite the "shock revelations" of the last few years, which, if anything, are rather less surprising and compelling than the "shock revelations" of the generations before. If half a century of coup d'etats sponsored by American spooks can't dent the prestige of America's push for "global democracy", it's hardly going to be dented by hard evidence that American spooks also spy.

Just because Snowden woke up some of those so uninterested in politics they find claims of US hypocrisy novel doesn't mean the rest of the world was asleep.

Wow I can't believe that video has gone viral — I remember showing it around to a few friends 2 years ago or so when it only had a few thousand views. Ironically, MongoDB has since become my go-to DB of choice...

Your more astute social justice commentators tend to point out that everybody is racist (and sexist and transphobic and and and). Including people of color against their own race, because they are not immune to the constant messages that they are "the other".

I think it's good to read those frustrated messages with some sympathy. I don't think they're saying they're completely done with ever talking to white people for any reason (like at a party); I think they're just expressing their exhaustion with having to have the same Racism 101 conversations about race with white people. Because white people, as a whole, when hearing about the experiences PoC have, tend to dismiss or question or rationalize rather than listening and considering.

I'm white. I've only recently started paying attention to this shit and already I've seen the repetition of the same tired ideas put forth, especially in HN threads like this one. I can roll my eyes and stop having to think about it for a while (or forever, if I wanted to), but people of color don't really have that luxury.
> opted to go with MongoLab, which I am still suing

this is either an unfortunate typo or a great backstory ...
These guys have great support. A client of mine was using them and had a cluster get wonky. The performance of their website got really slow during an in-opportune time. MongoHQ got right on it, fixed the issue and gave them 6 months of service and doubled their instance size free or charge to make things right..... Sure it would have been better if the servers had not gone down, but that can happen on any system. They also followed up for the next couple of weeks to make sure that things were running smoothly.

I was very impressed with their customer service and would highly recommend them.
I prefer taking Lyft to Uber because with the former the default mode is friendly conversation. When you take an Uber the assumption is that neither of you will talk to each other, like in a Taxi or Limo. In this sense Lyft is more revolutionary than Uber because it fundamentally changes the social dynamic, not just the economics.
I find the Angel [1] far more interesting.

Nope. Having it on the external internet is what's wrong here.
still "suing"...hahaha. slightly different meaning the misspelling conveys, especially in this incident!
figures some noob would flag my comment.
My recent experiences have been identical. A few janky cars (especially on UberX), drivers that don't seem to use the GPS, one guy who took a cash tip from guests that I sent with him, etc. It's actually a totally fine level of service for me but it's quite a ways from the awesome experience of 2 years ago. Perhaps it is time for them to implement a distributed force of "mystery shoppers" to provide detailed feedback.

Couldn't agree more. Dr. Keith Smith describes your suggestion actually as the "Obamacare Paradox". He thinks that the ACA unintentionally created a situation where premiums and deductibles sky-rocket. It's unlikely that they designed it that way, probably hoping the subsidies would sugercoat the insurance prices or in the worst event increase pressure towards a single payer system. However, as it stands, it seems that quite a lot of people esp. in the middle class won't be able to afford the kind of insurance offered on the insurance exchange. They will HAVE to find local doctors that offer concierge memberships (very affordable) and cover themselves with a catastrophic insurance or none - because, in effect, the monthly premiums are too high, so that they take away the money people actually NEED to pay for medical situations for their kids/families.
> it [is] totally rational to break the rules.

Not in an absolute sense. Whether it is rational depends entirely on what you value. It may be rational for some people to resort to cannibalism to survive if stranded and starving to death, and absolutely not for others.

In all seriousness, they are claiming copyright over an icon that is clearly meant to represent a brand's copyrighted and trademarked logo. Then they are rereleasing that logo under a MIT license. I have never gone to law school, but I can't imagine that Apple's lawyers will be thrilled by that.

And I think that you are wrong, particularly when you consider this based on dollars billed by emergency rooms, not patients seen by emergency rooms.
Hah! Oh god, yep, that was a typo. Part of me wishes I had a cool backstory to tell though... (not that I think MongoLab is in the least deserves to be the object of such action, of course!)
If you knew anything about Penny-Arcade or how they run their business, you know they're not paid shills. They are a pair of gamers who are very vocal about their loves and hates. They have a history of supporting a wide assortment of devices in their history. In the beginning they used to be ardent supporters of Windows based tech, but now they both sport Mac based products as their work machines. These can clearly be seen in their videos on their Web Series as well.

They even have a history of only allowing advertisers whose products they enjoy advertise on their website as well. These adverts are almost always games. They have no problem lampooning 'AAA' games with large advertising budgets if they think the product is crap. However, if they enjoy the product they have no problem supporting it either by doing custom content for the developers, which is put off on a specific section on their website and given the disclaimer that it is content paid for by developers.

Mike, in his time as a Surface user, has been very explicit about what he enjoyed about the device and what he didn't enjoy. He has also wrote up blog posts about what Microsoft sent him for free or where they sent him and has given his readers full disclosure about his relationship with Microsoft.

I think it's rather silly to lampoon a person, based off of an article of him giving a favourable review of a product that you think is bad or dubious.
It would be nice if people would contribute to Font Awesome instead of creating whole new sets.
I don't know how it is for SF, but in LA, Google's routes are not necessarily optimal, particularly at rush hour. I like Uber, and many of the drivers I've had have been great, but there's definitely been a handful of trips where I thought drivers relied on Google's routing when they shouldn't have.
Yup, though I am an early adopter I am definitely less willing to just hand over my data to a random startup recently than I have in the past.

I was one of those people bitten by this last night. My client called and told me he was getting access denied when trying to upload files through his CMS. After some digging I found the S3 key had been revoked. This was concerning, as I hadn't touched the CMS code I wrote in like 3 years and I've had issues deploying old stuff to Heroku in the past. I really wish MongoHQ had contacted me first about revoking the keys.
What I enjoy the most on my Linux desktop is how it handles installing/upgrading software. It's just easy, and it works. When I'm on Windows I can't stand the google-download-execute-untick boxes-next-next cycles. This post is more about UI features though.

Yes, better driver training could have made some of these faults less serious. Either by fully braking properly, switching into neutral, or other techniques. That doesn't excuse the faults though.

So I worked on a defuct N64 emulator, TRwin, back around 2000. Thirteen years later and thanks to the power of the modern web, my PC that's literally orders of magnitude faster runs the best JS emulator like a slide show. Using native code, my celeron400 with a Voodo card could run it full speed.

JavaScript is a toy language. But I do agree that strong typing and restrictions on GC like asm.js would help the situation. Unfortunately we can't rely on the standards bodies to make good decisions. Static typing was supposed to be in ECMAScript 4 back in 2008, but they abandoned it back in 2007.

It's still painfully clear to me the we are going backwards with all of these bloated poorly designed layers in HTML5 and I have little faith in the standards bodies.

Fine, it's impossible to run at a national level because there's some magic cutoff population point past which single-payer can't be done. Let's take your word for it.

Why can't the feds force each state to figure out a single-payer system? No state is bigger than the UK or Canada (ok, California has a few more people than Canada), and they have it figured out.

Look, if you like the private system for some reason, give that reason. Don't spout bullshit about "it's impossible to manage because the US is 4X larger than the UK".
The question remains: Will they disable god mode? I'm truly not comfortable with this feature, I should be able to block total access from my database.

It's way too nice to Apple to call their piss-poor Spaces "Virtual Desktops". Call me when I can finally arrange them how I want (i.e. 2 rows, 2 columns) and not have them in line, which is stupid and inefficient. I'd also like a call when Apple finally implements maximize for windows.

And don't get me wrong, I am a Mac user, just a highly frustrated one when I see people praising them as the second coming of the prophet even though a lot of extremely useful features are just missing because some dude at Cupertino decided that Mac users didn't need them.
