You like drumsticks? then yo will enjoy this.
To be fair, it's a 4chan project.
That's right, you can update when there's user interaction. Great. Can you use that for remote pair programming? Nope. You'd only be able to see any updates if you yourself was typing. While every other editor can do that just fine.
Interesting, I would suspect then that AT&T and Verizon would go after the ISPs to pay up.
Snapchat is Intrinsically Worthless
I'm still waiting for someone to design a vector drawing program that can export to CSS. (or something that can take a vector format like SVG and turn it to CSS)
This is basically IRC with file sharing... and everyone is ignoring the filesharing part because it's full of porn. So basically you created a html5 IRC clone, very cool.

Just wondering: What are your plans for this? And Does this have any IRC-like commands?

True, my top comment certainly conflated them - it was a throwaway but a rather lazy one, plus I have a rather jaundiced view of Marxists, critical theorists, and similar groups.
Why 99acres need to get its act together and innovate
Force-feeding can be fairly painful. The International Red Cross also considers participating in force feeding to be a gross violation of medical ethics.

Here is a document detailing what force-feeding is: http://www.aljazeera.com/humanrights/2013/05/201358152317954...

It is not a pleasant thing.
Yeah, I think I’ll stick with the “dated look” of LaTeX documents for now.
From what I recall, this isn't a new discovery - in fact there was even suspicion amongst some Bitcoin users that the Deepbit pool was using this strategy, though I don't think there was any real evidence.

Yes, I enjoyed the article as well. My question was why they stored the HTML in the first place.

You might be listed in a blacklist provider such as Spamhaus. Try your server's IP and hostname at http://www.spamhaus.org/lookup/. If it is just an IP that's blocked, it may be quicker to get a new IP address from your hosting provider.
It's probably good to try every so often, anyway, even though it's impossible. :-)
Congrats Leore and team! So far my experience with Lob has been fantastic. Can't wait to see what's next.
What other Etherpad-type tools would you recommend?

For dealing with less-tech-literate people, Google Docs is nice because they instantly recognize and understand it (and they can see me collaborating at the same time and I don't need to explain anything).
What compiler does HN use?
Using visualisation as a performance booster
These are both correct. The CSS 2.1 spec actually defines a CSS pixel ("px") as "the whole number of device pixels that best approximates the reference pixel". It's to allow a little leeway for devices with low-resolution screens. On a high-resolution screen a CSS pixel should be = the reference pixel.
A serious question: why should you be allowed to 'opt-out' of history? Is this really your call, as a website owner?

> If we decided to move to a parliamentary system, that would require rewriting two out of six articles in the Constitution.

No, it would only take about four sentences rewriting some of the electoral rules in Article II. Maybe a few more changes to Article II's appointment clause if you wanted a traditional parliamentary-style confirmed-as-a-block cabinet. The short version would be something like:

Amendment __:

The Senators and Representatives shall serve as the Electors for their respective states in elections for the President and Vice-President of the United States. In the event that an election for the President and Vice-President occurs in the period between the election of Senators and Representatives and the time that the terms of those Senators and Representatives commence, the newly-elected Senators and Representatives shall serve as electors and those Senators and Representatives whose terms are concluding and who have not been elected to the next Congress shall not serve as electors.

New elections for the House of Representatives shall be held within 60 days, and for the President and Vice-President within 30 days thereafter, upon the concurrence of any two of the President, resolution of the House of Representatives, and resolution of the Senate, provided, however, that no such election shall be held within 180 days of the most recent election for the House of Representatives.

LinkedIn was on HackerNews for doing _just that_ a few weeks ago. That is, associating your IP address with your identity and tracking whose profile you clicked (to report back to them) even when you're not logged in.
> Excuse me, dear Locke1689, but the lads were. Young.

If you're setting the benchmark as the signers of the US Constitution, I disagree with this assertion. For the sake of argument, let's also include the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which is IMO a much more idealistic--and traitorous thing from the perspective of the crown.

Of the 40 signers of the constitution about 8 were below the minimum age requirements of US President (35) [1] with an average age of about 44. Of the 66 signers of the Declaration of Independence, about 7 were below the minimum age requirements [2]. The rest were at or above 35, and there were many men in their 60s and 70s. These numbers are not exact as I'm going off quick calculations and a spreadsheet drafted in a couple minutes.

Edit: Missed one and bumped the signer count.
One other point of frustration was that it appeared to find only contributions within my and other user accounts, but not organization accounts. For instance, my (and others') forks of Hibernate ORM was picked up, but not the original within the Hibernate organization.

I'm not sure if performing mundane tasks is the same thing he's talking about. When you are prevented from doing your tasks because of a lack of support by your company and a lack of communication under the guise of "Getting things done", you are given accountability without responsibility i.e. You are punished for failure but not given the tools to make yourself succeed.
The reason the standards don't speak of 2D euclidean geometry is because they (Very sensibly, IMO) left room for yet unknown devices that might not fit that description but still are able to conform.
Or, with a more historical lens, lots of history has been learned by pouring over intimate private personal correspondences of historical figures - most of whom I would imagine would feel quite perturbed to see their love letters on display in museums.

Should historians not read private letters sent long ago? Should they swear to some oath and take a moral stand that such things shouldn't be examined?

If the answer is "No, they should read them.", then in that same way, then why, for historical record, should we observe robots.txt? Isn't it the same thing?
> "The fact of the matter is that citizens have a right to privacy in democracies," [Schmidt] said.

Ahem.

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2009/12/google-ceo-eric-schmid...

> When asked during an interview for CNBC's recent "Inside the Mind of Google" special about whether users should be sharing information with Google as if it were a "trusted friend," Schmidt responded, "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."

I don't want anyone to know that I searched for certain medical information. Should I not search for it? Unavoidable that Google would know what I searched for, although DDG I believe doesn't save or act on that information.

As for the NSA, well, they're going to know everything about me; as far as I can tell from Schmidt's earlier statement and the NSA's current behavior I should just STFU and disconnect.

You're wrong re: "(ICTY) has indicted members of pretty much every side" read for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Storm

Croatia had military support from US: "In March 1994, the Washington Agreement was signed,[39] ending the Croat–Bosniak War, and providing Croatia with US military advisors from Military Professional Resources Incorporated (MPRI).[40]"

and "Gotovina and Markač were acquitted on appeal in November 2012."

Moreover, US at that time also effectively supported Bosniaks, for which Al Quaeda warriors fought in Bosnia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnian_mujahideen#Terrorist_li...

"There were over 1,000 people in the country who belonged to what we then called Mujahideen freedom fighters. We now know that that was al-Qaida."

Knowing how such links started in Afghanistan before, it's actually not so surprising: US support whoever they like, if that's in accord with US goals. If they support somebody, then they are called "freedom fighters." They are "terrorists" when they fight directly against US. Are you surprised that almost 20 years ago media were biased just like they are now, and if you weren't an expert you probably got very distorted picture, including the picture of ICTY work?

In short, I'm with the skeptical view of mhurron.

You think Snapchat is in any way anonymous or private?
So its basically a map of who's using Twitter, lol nice.
I'm a big fan of Bret Victor's thinking, but this part struck me as indicative of the criticisms he'll receive:

"here, they are discussing some relationships: the regular latice, L grows linearly with n, we see L growing linearly with n, and we see C is staying constant. In the random network, L grows logarithmically, and we see L growing logarithmically, we see C going as a reciprocal relationship. When we read the word "logarithmic", we don't need to reconstruct that relationship in our head, you can just see it"

Does the average reader of Nature need to be shown a graph of what a linear, constant, logarithmic, and inverse relationship looks like? I don't think so.

That said, I imagine there are highly terse and technical ideas that cannot be simply represented in the current mediums of publication and which could benefit greatly using a presentation using an interactive widgets, making more complex ideas more easily communicable.

No, because they needed the pre-orders to build all those ASICs in the first place. You could also say that a startup founder believes in the project, s/he should keep all equity instead of raising capital.
In my research group, there's a story that one of their collaborators once tweaked the interline spacing to get under the page limit. Apparently the end result was that you could riffle through the printed proceeding and tell where his article was, just because the pages were darker.

So yeah, it probably happens. If it's half an hour before the submission deadline and there are four lines left on the page you have to cut, you'll do what you have to to get the job done. =)

To be clear, when I said that Marxists who aren't especially concerned with orthodoxy tend to identify as "Socialists", I did not mean the very different claim that persons who identify as "Socialists" tend to be Marxists who aren't concerned with orthodoxy.

Yes, socialism includes a lot more than Marxism (and did before Marxism even existed.)

And, no, I'm not conflating revisionism with orthodoxy. My experience has been that people who generally adhere to Marx's views but are not concerned with a narrow orthodoxy of a specific approach tend not to identify as "Marxists", and those that identify as "Marxists" tend to be very keen on the orthodoxy of a very specific interpretation or evolution of Marxism (predominantly, an orthodoxy oriented around Leninism or Maoism as the One True Marxism, though sometimes not.)

Release: AWS SDK for Ruby Core v2.0.0.rc1
No, I'm not listed in the spamhaus lookup and I checked another list that microsoft indicated they made use of on one of their so-you've-been-blocked pages and I wasn't on that either. Best I can tell, it's just MS that has an issue with it.

I'm starting to agree that it's likely quicker to get a new ip address, but I hate that that's where I'm at. I wholly admit that I as the admin of the server should've caught it before I got blocked, but there's an admin (or more likely, a team of them) at MS who's just as asleep at the wheel as I am.
What exactly am I looking at here?

It just mocks whatever you put in and suggests something else?

Or will it actually express approval if you put in something 'good'?
You'll also find more households with two incomes. The quality-of-life arguments about the 50s and 60s are that a family with a single income from a blue-collar worker could afford a nice middle-class lifestyle, including buying a house.

It always happens. For torture to be effective, doctors must be present. Brazil had a lot of doctors participating of the torture during its militar dictadorship. The most famous was Almicar Lobo: http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Am%C3%ADlcar_Lobo
My last startup we went mobile first and it sucked. We were bootstrapping so also contracting. The pressure of having to maintain two codebases (in this case iOS and Rails) as well as keep clients happy left a particularly bitter taste. That's before you do any marketing too!!

For my new one I've purposefully chosen something which can be built completely in rails and still be useful. So much easier when dev resource (i.e. me) is constrained.

Show HN: Single Sign-On application with complete security and privacy
We at www.smartsignin.com has developed a Single Sign-On system which gives your complete security and privacy by letting you choose your own decryption key (Cryptphrase) which makes you the sole owner of your data. We use client side encryption/decryption and doesn't store user's cryptphrase on the server thereby ensuring that not even the employees of SmartSignin can ever access user's data.<p>We have made it possible by using out patent-pending SmartKey algorithm developed in joint venture with Ganita Labs, University of Toronto.<p>Would love for HN people to try it and provide some feedback.
Yeah, this doesn't look PHP-specific, except that I keep seeing mt_rand being used in places where cryptographically-secure randomness is really called for (sometimes because there isn't a good alternative, sometimes because people mistakenly think they don't need secure randomness).
Snapchat is not only not anonymous, but it's a pretty poor platform with a significant number of past security flaws. About six months ago their API was exposing cellphone numbers for any username (to their credit, when I pointed this out to them they did patch it pretty quickly). Hardly private.
I may be heavily biased here. But did you consider agilecrm.com - we offer marketing automation, web analytics, contact management with lot of built-in widgets and support for custom ones, javascript API to create contact and tag them to initiate campaigns for onboarding, 2-way emails, social suite (like hootsuite) but you can import your prospects into crm and nurture them, real-time alerts, scoring of leads etc.

Yes, in every way that matters to most people.
The average reader can probably easily imagine y=2 to y=2x to y=X^2 relationship, but its becomes harder when the rates change. Visualizing y=N to y=Nx to y=x^N where N is any given number is fairly hard to see accurately in my head since it adds a new dimension (time) to the visualization.

Giving a slider where N can be visualized over time shows how changes in N accelerates y=x^N away y=Nx. These compound complexities better seen in interactive widget as the average mind is not well equipped to visualize them.

No. You are wrong. The doctors are present to oversee the torturing. They aren't there to take care of the tortured ones. They are there to tell how much someone can be tortured and not die. They are there to allow the maximum physical pain in the tortured ones. They are torturers too.
Then what about high-DPI devices? Should they just render it really tiny? Should your content look 25% the size on a retina MBP?
Even if they're not good at it, at least their point is privacy. That's already better than most chat tools.

You identify loopholes in legal frameworks / contracts, because the lawyers that wrote them aren't used to thinking about what has to happen for edge cases.

The lawyers do understand, and did it on purpose. Programmers just think similarly enough to lawyers that they can sometimes find things that were meant to be hidden from the general public (and from the junior lawyers who work for the competition). :)
I don't know if you know much about Victorian farming techniques, but it was around then that bat guano was discovered to be an excellent fertilizer. This started what amounted to a gold rush, as people set off to make their fortunes from harvesting it. That is the origin of the modern term "batshit crazy".

I just mention this apropos of nothing.
There is no method of production. None, zero, zilch.

Unless you mean, say, production of ionizing alpha radiation, capture and containment, in which case you're using up another scarce resource of radioactive source products, generating far more radioactive waste then existing dirty nuclear plants, all for an amount of helium that you need a laboratory to measure.

Or maybe you mean by fusion? In which case you'd need a fusion reaction which yields stable helium isotopes which can be extracted without including radioactive byproducts. The difficulties here make interplanetary trade seem like nothing.

Economics is not a magic bullet. You actually need viable choices first, which we don't have here.

I feel like the adage, "you get what you pay for" applies to everything in life.

There's a reason why there's price differential even within the same geography - some people are just more skilled than others. If the justification is that good talent is charging $1.11/hr because it's a lot of money in that geography, assuming the quality is on par, don't you think they'd raise their prices to match other good talent elsewhere?
Mobile first means design your website for mobile devices first, not build a native app first.
This whole attempted money grab is a real howler. AT&T and Verizon are already getting paid fairly from their subscribers. The subscribers are paying for YouTube/Netflix/et al to be available to them. Further, YouTube/Netflix/et al are all paying their own respective access fees. Everyone today is getting paid fairly. So while the argument on the surface is about something that's somewhat esoteric, what it really boils down to is that the ISPs want to bill twice for the same service.
Bret Victor is awesome. Check out his website - when I first discovered it, I spent hours there, reading even his poems.
