Right - embedded devices, one off toy apps, a lot of internal organization pages, and a lot of hobbiest projects make up a huge part of the "web space". These will all suffer for more reasons than cost of certs - it adds a new hurdle and a barrier for entry.

Think about printers for a moment: now all the printers providing http interfaces need to include a way to install an organizational cert on them (at least for a lot of organizations). That means that there needs to be an out of band step in setup (and maintenance) to add the cert, or a way to do so from an http interface. The later just screams "giant security risk" for a dozen reasons.
Um real warfighting isn't like anime where cute chicks in tight fitting catsuits fight with giant robots.

Tracked vehicles have the dalek problem how do you go inside a building/cave to engage the enemy - watch black hawk down how do you replace a seal team or ranger brick with robots

And any military tracked vehicle is not simple one of the main reasons that MBT's still have 4 man crews is they need the fleshy meatbags to keep the bugger running.
On one side I'm like come on guy, it's impressive.

On the other, I imagine some PM is going to read this and expect their developers to get a google docs competitor out in a day!
I couldn't agree more.

It is much more secure to visit a site with a self signed certificate than to visit the site over http. And yet, browsers start flashing red when you do that. At the least, they should show red on http, yellow on self signed https, and green on trusted https.
This is truly great as proof of concept and also as a reminder that in software development building 80% of perceived* functionality usually takes only tiny fraction of total development time which is required to build final product.

* - this app looks and feels like “almost complete spreadsheet” yet it provides much less than 1% features of even a basic spreadsheet.
Precisely the reason why I enojoy integrating Stripe or Twilio. They've abstracted a complex service with a beautiful API and awesome documentation.

We just finished our first ever infographic and looking for feedback. Every comment is welcome; what do you think?
So put numbers to it. Come up with upper and lower bounds for the effect and add them to the model, then post your code, the result, and the rationale behind the numbers.

The article didn't "ignore this completely". It set up a framework within which you can easily express that argument. Go do it.
If I put normal headphones in my phone's 3.5 mm jack, it recognizes that they don't have a mic and doesn't mute the built-in mic. So there are definitely some devices where this won't work.
The Foundation also sponsored work on unmapped block I/O which significantly improves performance on certain workloads, Intel VT-d (IOMMU) support, Capsicum sandboxing infrastructure, multi-threaded pagedaemon, UEFI infrastructure, and an update to the toolchain that produces FreeBSD documentation.
Very uncool. Google's association with Chromium is why I still recommend FireFox over Chromium, even though they are both open source. Now that I see this, I'm glad I do.
401k administrators are required to discount any 401k payout by an estimate of the amount of tax you would owe including the 10% penalty. So if you cashed out $100,000 you'd likely only received a check for about $60,000. The rest would go directly to the IRS and if that made you pay too much you could get your refund the following year.

The IRS always get paid.
Don't forget the cost and barrier to entry of setting up the cert and SSL and learning to administer the extra steps well, without introducing more holes through complexity.
The launch games are getting 5/10 (Killzone) and 1.5/10 (Knack) it feels totally underwhelming. Compare with Xbox. One is a distinct leap over 360, bluray drive and massively improved Kinect. Although, I am worried for games on Xbox One too.
What has your mother to do with this? Have you read Swiss laws on the subject? Have you followed the news about Swiss email surveillance?

You can't go around promoting a service based on a countries privacy laws, when those laws are ineffective against the intelligence agencies the users seek protection from.

To give just one example: The German Bundesnachrichtendienstgesetz simply exempt the BND from entire sections of the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz. The BND says they are respecting the law. What they don't say is that there is nothing left to respect.

How do you like the unbounce.com service so far? Would you recommend it?

No, every time I think about them this comes up in the back of my mind and I get a little confused
Around my parts of the woods, people are very wary of putting an editable grid into a web-page.. because over years of maintenance, all editable grids tend towards excel, and excel has an infinite list of features for clients to request.
I agree on all this points, although all of them should apply to any type of software you build. Anyone know of great APIs of non-tech startups?
If you own the client and the proxy its still possible. Install a controlled root cert on the clients. On the proxy dynamically create & sign certs for each domain the client requests. Present these false certs to the clients connection. On the "north" end the proxy is now responsible for verifying the remote cert chains etc. Proxy has access to all the bytes, programmatic clients succeed in auth, human clients have a green check box in the browser. Totally doable today. I think some of the commercial appliances even do this for you.
Very well said. There is no one perfect programming language, no one perfect algorithm and no one perfect data structure for all problems and constraints you will face as a CS practitioner.

Really, a CS education is just preparing you to pick the right solution for the problem/constraints at hand. For example, you can loop through a list. That approach works fine. However, when you begin to scale, you may find that look-ups against a tree-based data structure or perhaps a hash table are much more time efficient at the cost of more complexity, more space and more educated programmers.

> There are other ways to express the grammar of a language without semicolons and remain context-free.

Yes, you could use s-expressions, for example. I never said that this was the only way; I just explained part of the reason for the choice.
I suspect the definition being searched for is something is confidential if you have to keep it quiet for strictly professional reasons; my doctor is not supposed to blab that I got a tetanus booster in 1998 after stitches to my thumb in a minor accident not because anyone on the planet cares, but because an inherent part of the professional relationship is being able to trust a doc not to repeat medical stuff to random people. Secret is where you keep it quiet for non-professional relationship reasons. If the .mil didn't want you to know I hurt my hand on a secret CIA mission to Iran, and my doc blabbed that someone was hurt on a CIA mission in Iran, that's a secrecy violation that has nothing to do with the relationship between me and my doc. (I actually cut my thumb at work, boring story, not a CIA mission)

A negotiator needs to shut up about what his clients tell him, or he's not going to get clients anymore just on general principles. So thats confidential.

A negotiator doesn't have to care much about secrecy other than not getting thrown in jail. It really doesn't matter to his professional relationship if some random citizen knows what he's doing as long as it doesn't violate confidentiality.

So you're confidential to protect your own professional job, but secretive to help others keep their jobs, more or less.
Is this some kind of humor? The odds of such a thing happening are close to nil.
pretty sure it's something like:

I don't follow Android that closely. How is the performance of this phone? Cheap phones like this will help get Android into the hands of another billion people. It's probably more important to have a more recent version of Android than the fastest CPU.
Well I was watching it (I made the mistake, of posting the link with a anchor in it to the start of the document).

It gained some fast early upvotes, without having comments, it reached #2 on the frontpage, gained its first comment, while my submission had about 4 - 5 comments and was trailing some 5 - 6 places behind on the frontpage.

But ok, it gained traction faster, so it is quite ok with me. And, for me the information counts, not who submitted it.

So please, everybody: put your comments on the winning thread, as there will be much more interaction going on there.
Oh yes, it needs to be tried out.

But there have already been experiments, like this one:
http://www.dominionpaper.ca/articles/4100

"Only two segments of Dauphin's labour force worked less as a result of Mincome—new mothers and teenagers. Mothers with newborns stopped working because they wanted to stay at home longer with their babies. And teenagers worked less because they weren't under as much pressure to support their families.

The end result was that they spent more time at school and more teenagers graduated. Those who continued to work were given more opportunities to choose what type of work they did."
Ok, Brandon, let me rant for a second. This isn't your fault, you're a part of a much bigger trend. But bro, a validation test is no excuse for being hasty.

Just because you're in validation stage doesn't mean the marketing page only deserves 2 hours. When the Lean Startup came out, Eric Ries was pushing back against people who devote thousands of dollars and hours before they knew if a product would work out not.

AppSumo has made it cool to test w/ quickly-conceived pages. But a minimum viable product still needs to be viable.

Maybe I'm a hater. If so, sorry I'm not trying to rain on your parade. I just think it's worth pushing for higher-quality in validation tests. A few more hours could greatly affect your results.

For example: what are examples of brands of salsa you'll be delivering? Is this an email newsletter, or a paid service? What if I don't like the salsa this month? Is it crazy-wacky mango salsas or interesting tomato-based salsa?

Answering those questions might push your needle in the right direction. :)
As usual, silly little phrases like this are just silly. Lots of things are tradeoffs, but not everything. For example, picking good variable names doesn't involve any tradeoffs.
but the conceptual framework is not there. (I.E. most visitors cant edit anything)
My First Hackathon: HackPrinceton 2013
I'm not sure how this observation defeats the purpose of economics. The reason you give people a basic job is not that we need the work done --- after all, the alternative to it is the basic income, which pays them to do nothing. The purpose of the basic job is to fix the incentive problem of a basic income, which would encourage people not to work because there'd be inadequate marginal benefit to a low-wage worker to take a job.
Stop with the carousels already
I can't criticize a hypothesis if I cannot create a better one? That's extremely unscientific.
Public key cryptography. I want to generate a public/private key pair and upload the public key as my identity when I register for an account somewhere. Then there is nothing to steal on their end.

I want to say this is how websites authenticate themselves to users, but ssl certs serve a somewhat different purpose.
There was something minimalist and efficient about the old design - lots of information in front of the viewer, easy to pan across 100 movies quickly.

Now, two rows, lots of bandwidth used to update the ad frame dominating half the screen. Its slick and showy and ... less useful for browsing movie titles?
For the 30% of people who are genetically disposed to hate cilantro/coriander, please have an option to not have it in the salsa or skip those types of salsas.
Wow, was this made by the same ondras who made wwwsqldesigner? This guy got me into Javascript a couple years ago thanks to the source code of that tool, and now it pays a good part of my bills. The tool himself helped me quite a bit too. Awesome guy.

Nice hack, impressive!
But whether to ship what you have or spend time searching for a better solution is a tradeoff.
Too bad SASS didn't help out with their indentation problems.
Expressions did not evaluate for me. Reading the other comments I think I'm the only one though :-(
The question is still completely valid. What tool would support HTTP 2 but not SNI?
It's not like you're making an argument, you just call what some would consider doing the public a service "torquing off that government in the most flamboyant way possible". If you're gonna dissent, argue... but don't be silly, and then pretend the reaction to that sillyness is an argument ;)
sounds like devices that wouldnt make the switch to http 2 anyway
>Everyone can already afford basic goods. Its just at the lowest of incomes instead of a varied portfolio of extremely expensive to administrate benefits, all that would be wiped out and replaced with one simple check.

I think you and I disagree on this assumption. For one, we still have homeless people, although for a handful it is a lifestyle choice. I'd say it's far more nuanced and complex than to just say everyone can already afford basic goods. If someone loses all their current gov't benefits, but starts receiving $1,000/mo which they are free to spend however they want, how do their buying habits change? No one really knows.

As far as I know, food stamp programs and other current welfare programs have many restrictions on the types of goods you can purchase.

In addition, we aren't considering the marginal costs of increased production of some goods, while others are negligible - e.g., software.

I agree with your other criticisms of the model though.
Unrealistic results are an indicator that something might be wrong with the model design or model choice which deserves investigating. Why is that such a bad thing?

If you're modeling investment growth and your model is:

future_value = investment_amt * (interest_rate ^ num_years)

or

future_value = investment_amt * (1 + (interest_rate * num_years))

you might realize after running it a few times and seeing incorrect results that the model is flawed (first case) or inappropriate (second case) and fix it to:

future_value = investment_amt * ((1 + interest_rate) ^ num_years)
As submitter, I would beg everybody to follow the link and comment on the successful younger submission, as there is much more discussion going on. Just do not want to delete this submission, as comments here would get lost.

Thanks a lot in advance and greetings from Germany.
Asking what you do is not asking about "mundane money-related humdrum topics." It is asking "who are you?" "What do like to do so much you spend all day at it?" At least, that's what it is when I ask it.
If you are looking for recipes look at this list: http://www.gustausted.com/2010/07/34-salsas-mexicanas-receta... it's in Spanish though. My favorites: 'Salsa Borracha', and 'Salsa de ajonjolí'
It could happen. Even worse, it could happen on the anniversary of 9/11.

(disclaimer: that's a joke)
Yeah, I had always hoped this was the goal. It's not the leak that has the most effect, but the reaction to the leak.

Picking takes time. It might be a small trade-off or you might be able to pay the cost only once by building up a habit of standardizing your variable names but still.
They should forget about all that and spend the money on MORE CONTENT. I don't give a shit about the UI, I want something worth watching. I don't go to Netflix to ooh and ahh over the pretty UI.
It seems to be a good service. I need to improve my page a lot more, but that’s not Unbounce’s fault. They seem to be a good service and their customer service is very friendly, so yes, I’d recommend them.
Reading through this comment chain and seeing all the plausible speculations about how these guys' banking info are monitored for red flags..

a) Why are we not mad about that kinda thing?
b) Doesn't the law of large numbers say that even if someone does something that looks weird, it might just be for random fluctuations? Or is the financial system too.. regular?
Do you have any experience with Forth chips?
I've been looking for an excuse to play with the GreenArray devices.
They didn't work for me either - the attempt to access localStorage on my latest Chrome/Mac throws a security error in the console for some reason (may be a plugin/blocker). If you're getting the same, it seems to work in Safari for me.
Indent(1) is a textual tool while gofmt does full syntactic analysis. Among other things, indent(1) can't refactor code.
The odds of encountering a MITM attack on your first connection to a new server are low.

If it does happen, then the attacker will have to keep doing it forever, or else you'll get a warning the moment you manage to connect directly to the site without the MITM.

If your first connection is direct, then you're safe from MITM forever. If your first connection is compromised, then at least you'll likely discover that fact quickly.

I think this qualifies as "works".
I made the landing page with Unbounce.com

I’ve been getting a lot of interest from the UK, so I’m thinking I should work with some UK salsa brands as well. At this point it remains to be seen if I will ship to the UK, but I definitely will work on it, so I’m hopeful.
I've made my company fully transparent, including, for example, all salary information. Most of those steps seemed very scary at first. In hindsight, there was nothing to be scared about, really.

This is not to say that extreme transparency applied to all things is right - just that it often looks a lot more scary than it is. When you act transparently you relinquish some control, and some people hate the very idea of giving up any control.
You forgot ...thus lowering house prices in a wide area. Now the electorate are on your side!
Probably not, since you can't really make a spreadsheet-like widget unless you endeavor to make it an Excel clone.

Many grid (table) widgets support edit-in-place, but that's as far as most of them go. The target userbase for full-featured spreadsheets is going to be users whom I'd presume already have access to Excel (edit: and/or access to a compatible product, like Google's online version or maybe one of the FOSS MSO replacements).
with (context) + eval = user-space lexical environment ?
Many transfer payments in the US are subject to taxation. This includes Social Security, Unemployment, and some forms of Disability.
Why can't you model a happier society, reduced prison costs, etc?

Lets focus on the latter. How many people commit crimes due to lack of a Basic Income? (If you don't know precisely, choose a probability distribution that includes all values you find plausible. For example, choose a uniform distribution on [0, # of criminals/year].)

How much do each of these criminals cost society? (If you don't know precisely, choose a probability distribution that includes all values you find plausible.)

Multiply the former by the latter and subtract it from the result. Rerun the simulation. Maybe the result will change a lot, maybe it won't change much at all. I don't know what will happen, but the simulation will tell you what could happen.
Ha! I could see that working. Salsa dancers might get a lot of hate (like my landing page) but they sure as hell get a lot of women. Take your pick!
One Month (YC S13) hiring developers to improve lives through online education
New York City (Interested in a telecommute? Let’s chat)

One Month (www.onemonthrails.com) is looking for a few great engineers to join us in building a platform that transforms how the world learns.

You

You love shipping features, and you get some kind of perverse pleasure from seeing well-written code. You get a little uncomfortable writing code without tests. Maybe you want to level up your skills by working on large-scale social problems. You’ve been known to get into arguments at parties about why Ruby is better than PHP.

Us

One Month is the creator of some of the best-selling online global classes (like One Month Rails and Growth Hacking), a leader in the field of online education. We are opinionated about how people should be educated. We want people to learn by building real products, because we know that’s how they learn best. We’re a small team (4). We believe in working at a sustainable pace – you’ll code hard each day but you get to decide how you work best.

We are a Y Combinator company with a large network of great advisors and investors to support our growth.

Where

One Month is located in New York, in our brightly lit SoHo loft near Greene St and Grand St. To make sure you’re always feeling focused and energized, we provide unlimited snacks/drinks throughout the day. We have a collaborative, open space filled with passionate and cool people who enjoy hanging out with each other.

Desired Skills / Experience:

* Experience developing large-scale products (over 100,000 users) in various languages, with a preference for Ruby on Rails. (You love MVC, sensible defaults, and Heroku.)

* Experience and/or interest in Test Driven Development (TDD) and agile methodologies.

* BA/BS in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience.

How to get in touch: Contact our founder and CEO, at mattan@onemonth.com with a quick note and any info you want to provide (i.e., resume and github account)
We were just sharing an attempt to use it and explaining why we considered using Browserify. If you want more insight on it we will follow through with a more technical approach to it.
First Look: iPad mini with Retina display
community support + services companies when you're big enough.
From the HN title & the actual landing page, I thought this was a satirical commentary on "X-as-a-service" startups...
Been using it since 2009, it's rock solid, enough so that I'm now buying 3 years of service at a time (the most discounted).

If you buy a high enough level, I'm at Enhanced (lets me use my own domain), you get "Priority support", and it's very real. I think I've only used it once, fairly recently when some new spamming scheme started frequently outwitting their very good spam system, and the response was personalized and detailed, the support person even appropriately adjusted my spam score threshold. Which I assume they do since many customers aren't that sort of sophisticated.

They support static web sites, which have provided everything I've needed to do stuff for my family, e.g. make pictures available with viewing support, even a choice of light and dark background schemes.

They also offer a nice window into their operations and development through their blog.
If you are playing to win, you tell them you currently make whatever salary you are seeking. When they ask you what sort of salary you need, say something along the lines of "Obviously, I want to take a step forward, but I am pretty flexible, so if you can at least match my current pay, then I would be open to accepting".

While this tactic does fall into the grey area of morality, it is quite effective.
The cost to have someone fix absolute/non-absolute href links will far exceed the cost of SSL or an extra IP. So expect to see a broken landscape of websites post implementation.
