What are the best places to submit a new site to to get some reviews and comments?
My Show HN from a couple days ago unfortunately wasn't very successful:

The mirror cost $25. This is a $10k+ setup. Why go through that effort?
Privacy is the difference between a city and a village. Cities are big enough that you don't know everyone you see and remember everything they do, and that lets eccentrics exist. Anonymity should be a sacrament.
He was talking about Go, not Dart. (Sorry if you were joking and my sarcas-o-meter is off.)
This checklist discourages people from writing their own programming languages. Why not rewrite the checklist as positive, constructive advice around common pitfalls, instead of complaints like "You don't seem to understand X"? There are new programming languages waiting to be invented -- providing a template for knee-jerk negative reactions does not seem like a productive endeavour.
The usefulness extends to mobile platforms as well. While (AFAIK) the Android SDK optimises images to some minor extent as default when building an APK, I still like to run the images through various tools to get the best result.

On one of my previous apps, this resulted in a filesize decrease of approximately 300 kilobytes - effectively halving my apps size with no noticeable difference to the end user. Win!
This was obviously made by someone with very large botnet.

This applies in the earlier stages of the game. In the endgame, when there are fewer pieces, computers can find the best move. There are many instances where say, you reach and endgame with some nine pieces, and the computer will find a mate in 18 moves.
I think that scenario is pretty unlikely for large exchanges.

If someone gave me a copy of a private key, corresponding to some bitcoins, I wouldn't consider it payment, as they still have the private key as well (meaning they could still spend the bitcoins at any time).

It's more like a "shared account" at that point.
For lighting-only, IKEA sells a mix-and-match LED system where you can connect 10 different units to a single power supply (units being various LED strips, spotlights, etc), with varying lengths of extension cords (up to 2m I believe).
Anecdotes don't negate stereotypes, which are themselves generalizations across numerous anecdotes. And stereotyping is not by itself an invalid source of information, just less reliable than, say, a study. Everyone knows one person who negates a stereotype -- any stereotype. The existence of that person doesn't reduce the usefulness of that stereotype.
Anki, has Clojure flash-cards.
Definitely appears as such. Both are cool. I like the original music better, I think.
Boston Dynamics Big Dog Weaponized. Now in Trials with Marines.
as the actual OP, I can definitely say I wasn't talking about TDD. I mean integration tests like "Hey, we aren't double charging this person" or tests to make sure that bugs stay fixed. It doesn't matter to me if you write tests before or after the fact, you just should be testing so you can have some sort of sense of correctness.

Even more exactly, there are ways but if you use them there is no way to publish on the App Store, because private API.

There is no reason not to have JIT or WebGL in a WebView other then apple not wanting you to, even though this was the original vision of the platform.
Subtitles seem fine to me: they contain the content, and the emotion in the voices crosses linguistic boundaries.
I think you're taking it too seriously..."X is bad and you should feel bad" is a popular meme that originated in Futurama:

John can make real impact on the videogame industry a second time at Oculus, the same couldn't have been said about id. This is a win for everybody.
Can't collect points then though.
This is sorta similar to the time Nokia faked the PureView video during the L920's launch (happened seven years later obviously).

Also, I remember reading about some iPhone engineers that hardcoded the network signal indicator to show full strength during the launch of the first iPhone. Guess it's worth the risk since the media drops it after a while even if you do end up getting caught.
Maybe they had a different definition of "validate." Did you ask your interlocutors what they did to validate their sites?
You should be proud, Magnus is awesome!
I'm Brazilian, and I would trade one of our World Cups for a chess World Championship. Hell, I'd even trade two-for-one :)
If my BTC withdrawals total less than $10,000 in a year, do I still have to worry about paying?
Streaming 3D in 4k would use it. Removing bottlenecks makes things possible.
I'm aware that it's a meme, but that doesn't change the connotation of the phrase.
Don't BTC transactions take 10-30 minutes to settle?
It's a J O K E
It's trivial to make it enforcable. Whenever BTC leave the mixed wallet into a regulated area, bust the person doing so for violating money laundering laws if they used mixing. If they didn't use mixing, but received mixed funds you can probably impound some fraction of their funds to.

Either way you now have enough evidence to raid their PC to check for further laundered funds and generally make their lives miserable. When people complain just find a fraction of a BTC that was used at some point in the past to fund the social demon of the day (child porn, terrorism, drugs, sex trafficking, etc.) to justify it.
AFAIK, the government does allow the exchange of currency, it just mandates an unrealistic exchange rate at which there is practically no supply. However, there is a lively black market that is tolerated (probably because it's cash based and thus does not scale but serves average people well enough) - newspapers publish the rates, traders operate quite openly.

In an interesting validation of basic economy, the black market rates are much closer to the official ones in rurual tourist hotspots, presumably due to the much bigger supply of foreign currencies.
I'm definitely going to have to remember that one for later.
It's surprising to me that people view this as primarily negative. I think it's (a) funny, and (b) actually serves - as does the best humor - to make people think about things more deeply: by enumerating all the knee-jerk reactions in one place, discussion can focus on more interesting aspects.
I think you might be missing the tone here. The checklist is intentionally overcritical and self-contradictory. The idea here--in my reading at least--is to poke fun at people who bash new programming languages by reducing their criticisms to a thoughtless checklist.
Wikileaks to leak Swiss bank accounts of China's leaders.
From TFA: "...said the Menlo Park police department violated his client's rights during the internal affairs investigation"

I actually support his getting his job back, because it seems to have been found that the police department overstepped their boundaries in their investigation of him. If that is indeed true, then it's imperative that any illegal evidence against him should be discarded.
I was going to say just this. I suppose it would be possible for states to require bicycle license plates. I have yet to see that though.
A developers developer taking the opportunity to flex his wings on something new, what a fantastic turn of events for us all.

They probably did something to piss him off and he walked instead of bowing to their demands, and now they're screwed and it's starting to dawn on them. (Have we not seen this movie before? Have they not learned yet?)
He's saying they could ship Firefox in addition to Chrome, just not make Firefox the default browser as shipped (user would still be able to change defaults themselves) or ship only Firefox, with no Chrome installed.
It'll take you a minute to find if you are interested. Have at it - more eyes make code better and all that.
I would love me some gigabit. I'm in Independence, MO, just east of Kansas City, MO. I just switched to Comcast (puke) for $50/month for 50mbps. I was using ATT Uverse where I was paying $60/month for 16mbps (and actually getting 2mbps, hence the switch). Meanwhile, 10 miles West in KC they're paying Google $120 for gigabit + cable. I wish I could get in on that.
But you have no idea if address A and B belong to the same wallet, right? As in, I can create address A, get coins into it, then create addresses B-Z, disburse coins into them, then collect them again? Could I reasonably create enough addresses to create plausible deniability that I actually owned all the coins at all times?

Alternatively, could I use a web wallet to bounce coins around to obfuscate ownership?

It could also take just one day if you are lucky. It impossible to predict, just like the future of bitcoin.
I didn't realize they were storing every single license plate recorded into a giant database. That is more concerning.

The police aren't the only ones doing it.

Data brokers have hooked up with repomen who put scanners on their dashboards and upload every plate they scan to the data broker's databases:

US Customs has been handing over plate scan data to insurance companies:

because "not stopping OEMs from shipping an alternative browser" is what they're doing now, and "prohibiting them to replace chrome with firefox" is the theoretical evil they could technically do if they choose to in the future, not actually happening now, and probably will never happen.

This whole thread is so full of FUD. Google is not blocking firefox. There's a whole bunch of green-named people who have decided to sign up for an account and pretend that google is going to block firefox. There is no evidence that google is even considering this, and no valid arguments as to why google might want to do it. it's bullshit.
I've tried a few techniques to try getting in a person's head while playing, but I wouldn't have any idea how to measure it. Some techniques are on the board, but some aren't.

One thing I've tried is just staring at the player. I've also tried just barely glancing at the board and making the move on my turn while actually doing my studying on their turn.

The funniest thing that someone tried against me was playing a guitar while also playing chess. This was in a local tournament in college. Half way into the game, he stopped and exclaimed "What am I doing??" and tried to play serious from that point forward. Luckily for me, he waited too late.

Badly editorialized title. Big Dog has not been weaponized.
Actually, Germany is a good example that sooner or later wage slavery does set in.

The powerful and widespread unionization and the regulatory framework for collective bargaining has until now made mandatory minimum wages unnecessary, but that systems has been broken ever since the reunification, and has collapsed with the economic crisis.

If anything, the current situation in Germany makes the argument for having minimum wage stronger than ever.

Is this not an obvious answer? I am genuinely curious why the impurities and oxidation are not the answer the OP jumped to.

Nice username ;)
The history of early unions in Germany is btw quite interesting, especially in Weimar and before WW I, if I'm not mistaken. It is not so long ago that workers had to seriously strike to achieve any improvements of unimaginable horrible work conditions. And it is not so long ago that the german army was used to end those strikes using lethal force.

Especially the Ruhrgebiet has quite some stories of that regard. It shines an interesting light on the history of the german social democrats and their relationship to the communist party, given both their interest in the approval of the workers, and is a - mildly put - embarrassing comparison to the state of the modern SPD and its political vision (its Gestaltungswille).

Might be a bit OT for non-germans, but most countries - apart from the USA, afaik - should have a similar part of their history.
They are explicitly designed to be as public as possible, as they should be.

They were designed in an age in which pervasive video-cameras and back-end databases that never forget were pure science fiction at best.

In effect, the terms of the public's contract with the state regarding license plates have changed. It's time we re-negotiate that contract in light of the new circumstances.
Which academics? (Presumably economists?) National wage slavery already is the norm — that term means you rent yourself to someone and do as you're told. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_slavery

It's like you willingly got trolled...the post is a joke, and you knew it, but you still got bummed and made ominous assumptions about the person who penned a silly meme regurgitation. I don't understand.

In some ways, the internet ruined games like MTG. I still like to play, but the widespread availability of tournament decklists stifles creativity.

In some ways, the printing press ruined games like chess. I still like to play, but the widespread availability of opening books stifles creativity.

(I have a lot of experience with MtG, and a fair bit with chess, and this is my go-to analogy. I could also probably write a lot more on how the "netdeck" attitude signals someone is missing out on an unbelievable amount of strategic depth, but that's for another day)
Amazing feedback. Thank you so much.

1. social commerce sites typically have a fraction of the conversion rates to normal e-commerce sites. e-mail re-engagement is very effective for return visits. even a simple best of the week gets high open/click through rates.
I do agree with you right off the bat is not ideal. However, given the space I play in, I cannot be in the etsy transaction phase to get sign ups --> see fancy (they now have 10m users - what is your opinion of their strategy)? when i showed the first click through page for 10 seconds , my bounce rate dropped to 60% from 70%. do you know what i should be shooting for?

2. great. thanks for the insight. will do.

3. what's interesting is that i have the email sign up option but i guess it's not clear enough. only thing is fb is great from a social user acquisition standpoint. there's embedded virality aspects within the site such as collection and commenting that works great in acquiring super targeted users (their friends). 70/30 of our users opt with the facebook sign up. but you seem to say that we should make email sign up much more prominent bc sign up is better than no sign up. maybe like a wanelo.com look? do you know the efficacy of having google+ / twitter as well or stick to the most effective one on my platform and then just give email.

i'm not in the flash sale business. i'm in the discovery commerce business (what i want to do is create a platform for local retailers to properly market their products/stores without having to get into a groupon scenario to get discovered. gilt/fab naturally has to move toward a marketplace concept because of growth and market conditions: need to move bigger amount of inventory and in a booming stock market scenario, inventory with good deals is not that readily available.

thanks again so much for your comments and i hope to incorporate a lot of the changes as fast as possible. btw do you know anyone who is a pro tablet/mobile/cross browser interface guy that can make my site usable in other states than just laptop on chrome/firefox? my guys do not have that experience.

also if you would like please use the username: rebecca@reppio.com password: guest to peruse the site.

your feedback has been super helpful so far.

You can spray your plate with hair spray or clear gloss paint too - the camera flash reflects and the photo is not usable.

It doesn't work. Mythbusters tried it.

I'm not sure I see how a habit and frequency of use aren't synonymous with each other? I think the two axis should be perceived (or actual) utility, and seamlessness (inverse of attention required). If something is incredibly useful, but requires an infinite amount of attention, nobody would use it, and if something is completely seamless to use, but has no utility, still nobody will use it. You need a combination of the two.
My local Chase branch does free coin counting as well as other banks that are actually all Chase banks now.

It never made sense to me that a bank would want you to bring in rolled coins. How could they trust the contents?
I don't believe he would take any job where he wasn't programming.
Until recent technology, mass surveillance and tracking wasn't possible. It hasn't been an issue until recently. You can't just say that we've always been ok with a lack of privacy in public, because those laws and customs came about long before this was around.

And yes abuse is a perfectly valid reason to ban something. Dangerous things that are allowed are because the amount of abuse is thought to be less than the amount of benefit. Is that true for surveillance? I honestly don't know.
I'm amused that you take so personally the concept of a professional who's not familiar with your competencies trying to evaluate your ability. Which by the way is more than just pumping out code, it also involves defending difficult decisions to your peers. If you can't handle a little pressure from a code review, find a new career.

I am absolutely blown away by the video you linked. I recommend everyone here watch it to see John Carmack's brain at work. Just an example: he used his sensor experience from Armadillo Aerospace to calibrate the gyroscopes on the Occulus for significantly reduced display latency.

I'm buying one just because of this video.
Remember, as an employer, you are getting more out of the employee than they are getting out of you. Otherwise you don't make a profit. I understand why you want to do it as quickly and cheaply as possible. But seriously, fuck you. How about a better answer. Unless the person just came out of school, don't treat then as though they just came out of school.
For me, in an incognito window (so Google is less likely to tweak search results for my preferences), the Wikipedia page for the game Go is the first result, and five out of the top 10 are also about the game. The other results are Disney's "go.com" domain, golang.org, and the movie Go on IMDB.

Doesn't really suggest unfair weighting to me.
Please rework this explanation so that the points you are (trying) to make are emphasised rather than obfuscated. Then get back to me and I'll consider whether working with you is an option for me.
But driving down the street and having your unique identifier on the back of your captured via camera isn't against the law.

Exactly, the flip side of that is that the chromium engine, which used to be available for Android only as a part of the GMS app suite (with a lagging open source release that basically no one knew how to build), is now a first class part of the open source platform.

Honestly having "Chrome" be a proprietary blob is still dumb, but this situation is IMHO better than what we had for Jellybean. Now all apps (be they "browsers" or not) have access for the first-class browser engine. The bits of Chrome not part of chromium don't really interest me much.
This is what I see in an incognito window: http://i.imgur.com/BI4zvXB.png
A couple of years ago Verizon essentially halted all new fiber roll-outs -- nationwide.

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB1000142405270230341040...

They are still wrapping up the details on a couple of long-term rollouts, but they decided they would rather spend their money on the more lucrative wireless oligopoly. They did manage to get the DoJ to sign off on a deal to collude with comcast so as not to poach each other's customers.

http://stopthecap.com/2012/08/16/settlement-over-verizon-cab...

So there may well have been regulatory hurdles in your case, but Verizon pussing out (with a new CEO) is the reason you will never get FIOS.
Off topic but why do so many people capitalize "id" as "iD"? I did myself years ago as well but I have no idea why I did. None of their logos use that capitalization and my memory of the early games is too poor to recall where, if anywhere, it was written like that.
I can't possibly imagine why a conservative party would consider giving away 25% of GDP as direct handouts in an unprecedented and essentially untested reform of the welfare system over a tweak to employment law which has had positive results in similar countries.

The article you linked to hardly leaves the average reader with the impression a minimum wage would be a disaster.
Humor isn't forbidden, it's just really risky. If a joke is lame or offensive or obvious or falls flat, you'll be punished.
I'm sorry, but an employer gets more out of the employee than the employee gets out of the employer. Otherwise the company would not be making a profit. But you know, maths.
