>works perfectly under OpenWRT

Is the support really that good? The openwrt hardware page seems rather sparse[1] compared to more common devices. They are also harder to find in Europe but hopefully that will improve.

Looks like it's exactly the same.
Yawn. So predictable.
I used BTC-e to sell 25 bitcoins and transferred the money into my EU bank account. It went through without a hitch, and I had the money in my bank account in 5 days.

Compare that to Mt Gox who would not accept my US identification + German residence & bank account at all, and even if they did it takes up to 6 weeks to get your money now.

BTC-e is legit. BTC-e also doesn't require nearly as much ID verification.
Well, not to belabor the point, are you saying that your anecdotal evidence is better than his anecdotal evidence? Or that we shouldn't take the perspectives of Sam Altman's experts' opinions too heavily?

The tulip craze is a myth, I'm surprised people still buy into it.

It's stupid that tulips would go that high, and funnily enough it didn't happen.
Decentralization is very expensive because it requires mining, so if you don't think that's important you should probably back a more efficient system like Ripple or Open-Transactions.

> what you're really asking for is the ability to write sequential code and have the compiler work out if it could be parallel

Not really. I don't care how I have to specify the desired computation, as long as it isn't excessively verbose and doesn't require me to nail down implementation details I don't care about - for example, a for-loop (from 1 to 1 million as in the accumulator example) specifies a particular traversal (index 1 to 1 million in ascending order), but for an implementation of "sum" I only need "for each element" (no particular order) semantics. I don't want to even think about whether by using such an (overly specific) loop, I'm making the code difficult or impossible to parallelize (in the presence of some side effects, for example in C, it will likely be).
My comments from a post-embargoed version, from another discussion (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6824061):

400 bug fixes ~= 200 new bugs inserted? (Well, at least initially.)

Page 5, hardware upgrades: "Deployed 12 large, dedicated servers; upgraded storage unit", with a resulting ">3x Database Throughput"
Don't like reading that, although maybe it's not the critical path slowdown now. "upgraded storage unit" sounds like they're using a SAN, NAS, what have you, not the ideal recommended cluster architecture for MarkLogic (the main database, chosen by CMS to the dislike of the contractors). I wonder if they've got enough IOPs....

Ah, reading this: http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB1000142405270230333290... confirms what we've been hearing about it running on VMs on machines shared with other Medicare services, vs. the dedicated hardware now.

System stability is bad at 95.1% exclusive of scheduled maintenance. Per this table https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_availability#Percentage_c... that's a bit over 8 hours a week of unplanned downtime.

Hmmm, maybe not a total disaster now. And the fix-it czar said his highest priority was (correctly) to stop sending garbage to insurance companies. We'll see ... especially since they evidently haven't started working on the really hard problem of paying the companies....
So this is basically the opening act of a giant manhunt? What does the poster hope to achieve, besides getting this guy killed?
Well, Wei Dai and b-money are cited in Satoshi's original white paper.

To hold your opinion you have to first pretend that you don't already know the socioeconomic statistics. The article assumes that you already understand that wealth is being concentrated in a tiny elite and that the tech sector is a major factor driving this concentration.

Is Silicon Valley decadent and detached from humanity? Of course it is. And it's fun. He makes this point and it's a good point. Let's all fist-bump and drink artisanal whiskey while the country crumbles and sinks beneath the ocean.

He speaks to a truth deeper than statistics, stimulating old feelings and perspectives and linking them to new contexts.

Most of us already know the statistics: the tech center is the last wealth generating thing in the country. The wealth is realized by, in part, cannibalizing other industries. This leads to the concentration of wealth in a decadent elite while the suicide rate for the average person climbs.

pg argues in one of his non-evidence based essays that this concentration of wealth is a good thing because those suicidal unemployed people who can't afford food will have TVs and smartphones. The statistics prove him wrong for the USA--tech advance does not increase the average standard of living as long as tech advance leads to wealth inequality.

There are fairly automated trains but only in very controlled and low-speed environments. (e.g. "people movers" at airports).

But, to the broader point, I can't help but feel that a lot of people are conflating "able to tool down 280 with a human on board who is fully capable of taking over control--albeit not instantaneously" (or a next gen cruise control, if you would) with "a robot chauffeur who can drop the kids off at soccer practice." The second problem--which includes dealing with all the unpredictable things that happen on secondary roads--would seem to be enormously more difficult than the first.
Judging by the article she wasn't fabricating evidence, but rather she was "strengthening" what she was given. All her cases clealry need to be re-evaluated, but unconditionally releasing everyone convicted is hardly a sensible option.

Show HN: Git Reports - Allow users to submit bugs as Issues to your GitHub repos
http://gitreports.com/

The title says it all. Lets you set up a stable URL (like http://gitreports.com/issue/schneidmaster/gitreports.com) for anonymous users to submit bug reports for your website/app/product, which are then created as an Issue on the appropriate GitHub repository. Supports public and private repositories, personal and organization repositories, and Issue labels. Also lets you activate/deactivate each individual repository for reporting (always deactivated by default) and provides a few custom message settings to show to users reporting bugs.

I'm envious of those who could hear their own heart beat. I suffer from tinnitus, and when things get quiet all I hear is a thin high pitched ringing noise.
Except trains are largely autonomous, it's about wanting a human element in the operation, not requiring them.
I see the same applying to a self-driven car, the human element is always present there in the form of passengers, who undoubtedly will be able to assume control if need be, that is how the Google cars are designed.

About Me:

I started off in web development, doing mid-large size lead generation web sites. As a big part of dealing with lead generation, I became proficient in RESTful API integration and development, along with complex javascript web applications used for analytics. I then began working on iPhone and iPad applications over the years, working on apps for Cie Studios, BuySellAds, and their respective clients. My ability to understand complex api's, also helped me build connection management and caching systems for iOS apps that assured the user that their information would always be posted to the server, regardless of their data connection.

We don't have inflation because with fractional reserve, most of the money is created by banks when they make loans. They're a lot less inclined to make loans these days, and a lot of borrowers are inclined to pay down their debt, so it's hard to actually get more money into the economy. If it weren't for all the printing we'd have a shrinking money supply as old loans got paid off.
That's the point. Like riding, directly operating a motor vehicle can be an enjoyable an rewarding experience without being a good way to get around town. Someday, I hope, driving will be reserved for purpose specific tracks, cars that are actually enjoyable to drive, and drivers who can afford to pay the unsubsidized cost of such a leisure activity. I like a good drive myself, but I'd rather let a computer handle drudgery like stop-and-go on a large freeway through LA twice a day.
I know this is just a fun game, but do you do any double-checking to make sure the bot isn't overfitted and "generating" a fake title that is actually real?
Actually, I agree with him, but it's funny how these articles always pile on when the price is crashing.

Senior iOS Engineer - DocuSign - San Francisco

DocuSign is -- according to our marketing department -- The Global Standard for eSignature and electronic transaction management. We help people and businesses close deals faster, save paper, and save money. We're trying to get everyone to DocuSign everything that needs their signature, and it's going pretty well: We've had over 40 million users and we're adding 50000 a day.

We're looking for an experienced engineer to join our mobile team, focusing on iOS (DocuSign Ink: http://bit.ly/V5BhVG). Extensive mobile experience is not required for a great candidate; we're happy with some side projects or even just a strong desire to move into mobile. Passion for quality and great user experience is required, and previous startup experience is preferred.

Excerpt:

"Not bee drones, rather drone drones, with military and terrorist capabilities. There is already a (foiled) terror plot using model airplanes. How easy would it be to stop a mechanical “bee” which injects a human target with rapidly-acting poison?"
That doesn't sound like us. Apologies if it was overlooked—not a fun experience to be ignored.
>I read about how one should ditch jquery plugins and rewrite them the "pure angular way" which makes sense for smaller stuff but there are so many very useful jquery plugins that have been around for years with alot of people working on them.

Actually it's supposed to make sense for the larger stuff -- Angular is not something to just replace a few small bindings in a your page while you do the rest of the stuff in 2005 way.

As for those "jQuery plugins that have been around for years" most of them are badly coded rubbish compared to what you're supposed to write in Angular style.
For the unfamiliar... The Linksys WRT54Gx series were (and still are) incredibly popular, but to anyone considering buying one for use today: Please don't!

They've haven't been manufactured in years, will max out at about 35Mbps LAN-WAN throughput, have tiny flash (as noted above) and only support 802.11b/g.

There's plenty of modern-day equivalents to choose from. If you're really budget constrained, the cheapest widely available OpenWrt & DD-Wrt capable router I know of is the TP-Link TL-WR74x series which can be bought for <$20.

Layer (https://layer.com) San Francisco, CA

The Internet needs an open communications layer -- cross-platform and free from an advertising-supported business model. At Layer, we’re on a mission to deliver it. We’re hiring iOS, Android, backend, Web and systems engineers, as well as designers.

We have problems to solve that you’ll have a hard time finding elsewhere. Here’s why:

We’re building our own network. We need fine-grained control over latency and geographic distribution. We’ll be running our own AS (62862), peering at major exchanges, and purchasing transit from high-quality providers.

We’re running our own hardware. This goes to latency again: by owning our own routers, by being particular about what switches run behind them, and by provisioning memory and persistent storage specific to our application, we can deliver a better experience to our customers. We can also deliver at lower cost.

We’re designing our software for high availability. Losing a datacenter will not impact the availability of our service.

We’re building our mobile SDKs to provide a complete solution: offline message buffering, cross-device handling of push notifications, cross-device message sync, respectful battery consumption, and in front of it all, a simple api.

We care about documentation: https://layer.com/docs/ios. Our docs are the first experience developers will have with Layer.

We care about design. We won’t be releasing our own apps - that’s up to our customers - but we’ll be open sourcing beautiful example apps that build on our SDKs.

We care about security and privacy. Securing the transport is only the first step. When we don’t have the keys we can’t access the data. (In theory. Security is hard.)

Today we're a team of engineers and designers passionate about communications. We’re on a mission to make communications better through every product -- mobile or web -- that people use and love. We hold the power to dramatically improve the way 2 billion+ Internet users communicate.

We’re well funded and have already assembled an early team that shows we mean business. We’ve started and built world-class companies and highly scalable Internet infrastructure and invented protocols used by millions.

Definitely. I was thinking about that too.

In the same way that you can build a reliable system from unreliable components through clever system design, I think you can build an evil system from good but limited people.

I think a lot about the housing bubble, the popping of which has had a terrible human cost. There may be nobody on earth who is willing to say, "Yes, I helped make that happen." But there are an awful lot of borrowers, mortgage brokers, bankers, executives, and investors who are very sure that it wasn't their fault. After all, they were just doing their job or obeying the incentives.
Look. With all the speculation surrounding what has happened, i don't believe it is wise posting someone name. This is not confirmed and for all we know, this person is an innocent bystander who's name is now being linked to this.

Where a theft might have repercussions with law enforcement, lets not kid ourselves here, this was drug dealing and we are not talking pissed twelve year olds who lost money on Pokemon cards. We are talking what? Thousands? Millions nearly? And you don't have to be Eisenstein to work out that a bunch of pissed of dealers will be wanting blood and their money back cause they probably owe money too. So are desperate.

So is this person behind it? I have no idea but just imagine, you wake up one morning, read HN and you share the same name as a alleged thief...

Mistaken identity happens. This isn't a game. Someone could get killed.
Fair point. It's just that I assume among the people looking for him are people you don't want to piss off, and they don't only include law enforcement.
Roughly 1.95m and while standing in the very middle is possible, it does feel more like an airplane rather than a train. Admittedly, I also like to have some space above my head and don’t always feel perfectly comfortable in tight spaces, so that might well contribute to a (perceived) lack of space.
You can have generalized containers in C, using the intrusive pattern.

For example, Linux's list.h has an intrusive list that is far better than the abysmal std::list from the STL.
wow, thats an impressive amount of mysterious sources, mysterious legal experts and mysterious industry analysts.

Not to mention the link bait headline "REVEALED" and a major +1 for the other link to another link bait headline about iPhone 5C orders being cut ("Apple slams brakes"). Maybe someday "industry experts" will get tired of being proven wrong and stop trying to predict results from supply chain - they've never been right before.
Yes. Think of it as pushing a couple of rocks over and hoping to start an avalanche. In this case it worked.
They can and do become Internet Standards, or STDs.

There are many places to look for jobs.. AngelList is probably the easiest place at the moment. You can also find wage information there.

Rent really depends on where you are located. SOMA could be minimum $2k+/month for studio. Mission area could be cheaper. SV probably has similar prices to SF.

Look for housing on airbnb/craigslist/walking around... really depends on what type (long term, short term, etc). There are also a few hacker houses around that you could probably stay at.
There is no mechanism for manually excluding code. But you can view the coverage profile in a web browser. We're going to publish a blog post about the new cover tool in a day or two.
I do not think those disadvantages apply in most cases. Back when DSL was new I used an old 486 for many years, this is not new territory for me.

Size is irrelevant unless you're putting it in your entertainment center (why?) or live on a sailboat. Just stick it in the basement, stack on top of the fileserver, whatever. If you're doing the dorm room thing or living aboard a sailboat you have to realize that involves some highly unusual lifestyle compromises. For most people its not an issue.

Noise: I did splurge on some large slow fans (like $10) to replace old small fast (LOUD) fans. Again this is a lifestyle thing, where if your castle has no location further than 5 feet from your sleeping head, you're going to have serious lifestyle issues that most people simply will not have. I don't find my desktop at home or work to be particularly loud. I did at one time run a more modern desktop as a firewall and specifically ripped out the fancy graphic card and used the on board video, to reduce noise a little. After installation I never used the video or keyboard again, all SSH access, so its not like it needed fancy graphics. My main firewall/wifi/dhcp/asterisk/stuff/etc box is about 50 walking feet from my sleeping head, past the (sometimes) loud fridge, the dishwasher, the clothes dryer, the hot water heater... For most people its not going to be an issue.

Power consumption. Not an issue. I was drawing about 50 watts which will cost about $50 or about 3 weeks of cablemodem service per year. Using the EE tradition of it costs about $1 to provide 1 watt for one year. I admit I was an idiot and upgraded to a soekris box many years ago which is basically a 5 watt PC. So I save about $45 per year of damage to my finances and the environment. Great, that'll only take like ten years to pay off the capital expense / manufacturing environmental degradation. That was a dumb move on my part and I'd suggest you're always better off both financially and environmentally by reusing an old desktop.
