- CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I'm having a heck of a time doing this right now. So far everything has failed for one reason or another. I think Litecoin local has promise, but that doesn't exist in most areas right now.
Managing multiple project repositories
> I'm curious if we ever will see the most popular JS/CSS frameworks/libraries integrated into the browser itself

No - release management would be a nightmare on both sides (“Is feature X worth not using the built-in previous version?” “Ooops, new jQuery point release. Time to ship a Firefox update!”) and it offers no advantages over simply using HTTPS to prevent injection attacks and Cache-Control headers to allow saving a properly versioned URL forever.
I mean, aren't you the one who should be providing citations?
Do you think cartels will have trouble recruiting people once everyone have 20k a year to spend? They gonna have even more money since a big chunk of those 20k will be spent on the drugs they are selling.
Your question is MU, ie: the question itself is wrong, because doing what you propose is so hard you can consider it impossible
Pretty much, yeah. Now imagine the same thing, but it's your wife of 5 years.
What is up with Noises? (The Science and Mathematics of Sound)
Because basic income isn't just "keep everything exactly the same, but it's more expensive". There's more to it than that. Nobody has ever argued for basic income by saying it'll fix only the problem you stated (irresponsible people dying on the street).
It's just not an accurate title, as "US history" also includes non-citizens.
Personally I want to be in an open office with the team I'm currently working with, an no one else. While IM works, it's a lot less band with in IM and you miss out on a number more spontaneous design discussions. A good team will not interrupt you with questions they could just as easily goggled.

On the other hand, I hate talk from other teams or projects. The mostly unrelated and in worst case interesting (thus 10 times as effective in distracting me.). So the current open office plan with 6-7 teams in an open area is occasionally really annoying.
Calling it a failure without making a rationalization about why it's a failure could be considered a failure in itself.
Something that might be considered an "intrinsic" value of bitcoin is its ability to instantly and securely transfer wealth across large distances at zero or near-zero cost. This is an feature not present in some of the incumbent currencies and store-of-value assets.

For example, physically shipping hundreds of kilograms of gold (or physical, folding USD) is a costly exercise fraught with security risks, and the risk profile varies depending on many factors, for instance the political situations in the sending and receiving countries.

Transferring large amounts of electronic USD across international borders via the traditional banking system is going to invoke all kinds of reporting requirements, and possibly higher transaction costs (though you can do large wire transfers for like $25 I think).

Transferring arbitrary amounts via bitcoin is easy, secure and the transaction itself is cost-effective (notwithstanding the current relative difficulty/expense of moving large amounts of fiat currency into and out of bitcoin in the first place, which problem I'd expect to ease as the btc economy matures).
One of their implicit pitch is that Jolla is "surveillance free". And it can run Android apps. I think these two features are good enough to spark an interest. The spec looks also impressive. But freedom doesn't come cheap at almost $550. Nonetheless, a very exciting development.

I'm also waiting for Firefox OS to mature and produce more devices.

I can't wait to drop Android. Each release takes more freedom away from the user and gets increasingly integrated with whatever social, cloud, data milking services they have at their disposal.

Funny how freedom becomes a competitive advantage for startups against the big and evil Internet giants.
I looked at this minus-million thing again yesterday when my brother brought it up. I'd seen it before, but we were talking about search engine crappiness and alternatives.

Since I remembered Blekko (met Greg, the founder guy, in SF once) I pulled it up and we searched for yunnan, a Provice in China, as a test. Most of the results were for commercial tour operators or thinly veiled redirects for such.

The million-missing one on the other hand turned up more interesting or 'bespoke' content.

I am ignorant of such matters but would have thought a spamassassin-style Bayesian model based on sentiment analysis, advertising frequency, update frequency, hosting location, content originality or any similar clump of readily obtainable metrics would be enough to usefully cull the vast majority of the useless modern stuff.

I mean, if I want commercial tour operators, I'll tell the search engine by typing something like "prices" or "companies" or "costs" or whatnot.

The other realization we had, doing this on an iPad, was that search engine interfaces positively suck. They're still stuck in the 90s. With a touch-based interface, there should be a more interactive model for query refinement than text editing. Like, uncheck [x] commercial sites.

> Still working 40 hours

I'm theoretically full-time.

But I show up around 10:30am, leave around 5:30pm, and enjoy an hour-long lunch break at my apartment.

So my full-time gig only adds up to ~30 hours/week, giving me lots of time to spend on my own side projects.
So, how do you propose to do this without having me pay more than the 25% of my income I already pay in taxes?

As it is I'd rather spend my tax bill on my sick mother, rather than to some person I've never met to do whatever he wishes with.

Let the people proposing the basic income be the first to pay into it - to the maximum extent possible. The napkin math doesn't add up even for measly amounts of income.
I've tried that, but this skill is so central to most people that they find it really difficult to understand not having it - just as I find it really difficult to understand having it.

It's sort of like ... imagine everyone but you can see color, and they ask you to hand them the green crayon, and you have to go through ALL THE CRAYONS looking at the text on the wrapper.
Befuddles eh?

Show HN: Waky - the wake-up call reinvented
I wonder if he would change his mind if it turned out the NSA developed bitcoin.
Ignoring that, stat -c%s gives the size of the file in bytes, not a count of newlines.

It's always funny to see how the wrong are often so cocksure.
> Actually, you can in Python...

No, you can only get random access on codepoints which will break text as soon as combining characters are involved. Even if you normalize everything beforehand (which most people don't do) as not all possible combinations have precomposed forms.

Unicode makes random access useless at anything other than destroying text.

> but a good stdlib would obviously help immensely in this regard

Which is extremely rare, and which Python does not have.
I've met one of the performers in the article; he was doing this (in SuperCollider, largely) back in at least 2004 if not earlier.

Not diminishing how awesome Giles is, but it wasn't original in '08. It may not have been original in '98.
wow for me the suggestions where matching really good, what technologies did you used?
But that was a different situation because it was before the end of the gold standard. For one thing and for another if you are talking about Executive Order 6102, that was about gold hoarding, not using it as currency.
Why Your “Easy,” Developer-Friendly Offerings are HURTING Your Chances

I think you misunderstand me. I am talk about non-currency use. If the Bitcoin network collapses, you have nothing. The market for gold by definition cannot collapse to zero as it has non-currency industrial and decorative value.
On the other hand, one can create Sailfish-native Qt apps that run on Android and iPhone as well. I'm not sure if Qt iOS support is completely ready, but it is something to look forward.
this is the root of my belief as well -- that it is a speculative farce, but so long as it is above 0 it will continue to be in use.

Another poster made me aware of this joke that I think summarizes Bitcoin pretty accurately. http://www.getamused.com/jokes/pennystock.html

Only in this case it's not a single buyer.
Inspect Element Window is not only for developers
Have you seen the interview with Bobby Lee recently? I think he made a great point. They asked him if he is worried that the bitcoin fluctuations undermine bitcoins' ability to function as a currency and discourages merchant adoption rate. He said that's what he initially thought as well, but since has come to the conclusion that bitcoin has to be seen foremost as a store of value and only through the "confidence" as you put it in a long term storage of value will the adoption as a currency eventually come all by itself. So he is not worried at all.

Fair points! While I enjoyed reading the post, I just feel it's not really targeted for a (stereo?)typical HNer - introverted nerd. So some advices feel wrong.

I have been at a designers meetup-party once out of curiosity and the vibe, atmosphere there is totally different from more nerdy events. And the tips suggested in the post would have worked, I guess.
So then isn't this (or satoshi dice) the sort of thing the limit is trying to create a disincentive for?
Edward doesn't know what money is. Whether it is issued by a government or not is a matter of convenience (or legal issues) and not a condition.

Everything can be a currency satisfying these criteria:

(1) enough quantity

(2) limited quantity

(3) convenient to move/exchange

(4) widely accepted

That's it, nothing else.

All currencies is based on "faith". Any currency is doomed if it looses trust. For instance cigarettes were used as currency in Germany between world wars.

And it seems to me that Edward admits that at the end: "governments are not fully living up to the responsibility". Yep, he is contradicting the claim that monetary policies are independent of the government. They are not and you can see it in the price of gold.

Since bitcoin is based on math and official currency on politics, bitcoin is inherently more trustworthy. Its deflationary tendency, limited supply, and lack of physical presence are common drawbacks of bitcoin as a "common" currency. Not trust. And they are actually advantageous for its particular area.
But the man that federal authorities have arrested and accused of launching Silk Road, Ross Ulbricht, is from Austin too. Given the folklore surrounding Bitcoin and Silk Road, get ready for rumors that Trammell is Satoshi hiding in plain sight.

On that basis, I'm going to start a rumor that Bruce Sterling is Satoshi.

edit - But he hasn't written Bitcoin yet. That happens after he accidentally buys H G Wells' time machine in an obscure ebay auction, thinking that he is acquiring an ornate steampunk wardrobe.
Lol, a Keynsian claiming Hayek is an idealist. NYTime is the new Onion, right?
It 'failed' as a currency (after centuries) because nation-states with central banks found it disadvantageous for their overall economies.

That doesn't mean the currency itself failed, just means it was abandoned by those seeking to implement monetary policy.

It would be like saying P2P networking failed because vendors prefer the iTunes model.
The Maemo-MeeGo transition didn't simply replace technical innards; it completely disrupted the Maemo user community, which relationship was negligently bungled by Nokia management. (Although it may also have been due to Intel's influence via the Moblin contingent.) Weep for maemo.org, which once upon a time was the best friend Nokia ever had.
To me "utilise" has a slightly different meaning that "use". I am not a native speaker though. Is it just a fancy way of saying "use"? I thought it implied "using" an option/feature/opportunity to do something. So one "utilises" that to do something.
> but ebooks are the only way I can keep up with the amount I read - which is usually one book every few weeks, possibly 30 books a year or more.

Anecdote: My wife prefers physical books and she completely reads at least one book every 3 days.
There's a difference in the two phrases:
I love you, but you're fucking stupid.
You're fucking stupid, but I love you.

I prefer the former to the latter. Sweeten me up then crush me with reality. A lot of people see the latter and just absolutely stop reading after "You're fucking stupid", especially people with admittedly short attention spans.

That would be the only thing I would apologize for or alter, personally. I understood the sincerity immediately but this is because I come from a long line of men that have taken the latter approach and I have to willfully ignore the negative because I know some positive exists or they wouldn't bother saying a damned word.
Is this an underhanded plot, to get people to drain all brainwallets with 8-character passphrases?
I have misplaced Bitcoins currently worth in excess of $700,000 / £430,000. They were purchased a couple of years back.

I've not even started the search for them properly as I know how gutted I will feel if I definitely can't find them. At the end of the day, it's only money and there's always time to make more. Time is the one thing of which we have a finite amount!
That'd be an incredibly wasteful and extravagant way to simulate the paper book UI, especially given that paper books have wildly different form factors. Do you really want to lug around a device the size of The Structure of Evolutionary Theory† to read a comic book?

Excerpt from the article: "The developers of bitcoin are trying to show that money can be successfully privatized."

-- Not really. Bitcoin is open sourced. They did not try to privatize bitcoin.

Excerpt from the article: "The currency’s issuer is an unknown computer programmer"

-- No, bitcoin is not issued by Satoshi Nakamoto in the sense that cash is printed by the government. The currency is generated by mining, which can be participated by anyone with the right equipment.

I do not have a better crystal ball than anyone here, but the article's author made a mistake in trying to shoehorn bitcoin into his own concept of currency.

You're going to pay extra for 24/7 on-call, but anyone I've worked with who pays a moderate amount for AWS services have had an account manager who reached out.
I love your point about pricing - was just thinking the other day about how I might accept bitcoin for an item. Presumably there could be a mechanism for determining the right price on the fly (similar to share pricing) but volatility would still be killer - hence there would be desire for a bartered item or non-volatile currency.
> to me the fear of giving children too much "screen time" is anachronistic in this day and age.

Given that there's overwhelming evidence that screen time is completely worthless for language aquisition in children, as one example, not worrying about screen time demonstrates ignorance around different modes of learning and interaction.

Unfortunately this type of hacking isn't really sustainable. Even small tweaks to the Gmail UI often change the DOM in very unpredictable ways. When they released the new compose feature, pretty much every single Gmail Chrome extension broke.

We haven't really announced it yet, but I've been working on a new email platform with some friends to solve a lot of these issues. It's essentially Rails/Meteor for email features, and lets you skip past hacking Gmail or writing a full IMAP client.

It's called Inbox, and we're aiming to open source it in January. Ping me if you're interested in playing with it early. :)
Safeplug: Safe, Secure, and Anonymous Web Browsing From Any Device
This is very true — if your scope only encompasses a couple dozen pages' worth of data. If your data is actually desk-able, then that will probably work well because it comes very naturally to most people. But if you have a large dataset (say, 100 pages), my experience is that the computer is going to do a lot better both at retrieval and at processing.

So basically, this is another example of things that are great but don't scale.
I would argue that it doesn't make sense for the average merchant to keep holdings in BitCoin. Most merchants have no desire to take on currency risk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_exchange_risk). They're not in the business of speculating, they're in the business of selling things.
Things You Had No Idea the World Is Running Out Of
Has it been said that this guy is the reason Penny Arcade wrote the ad they wrote?

People treat us how we let them treat us, someone taught his bosses that it's OK to ask one employee to be your entire IT department. That it's OK to have them on call 24/7 and have him work a minimum of 8 hours a day (but up to 15-16h/day for months at a time), in exchange for friday lunch and the ability to play video games at work. I'm certain that the people he describes, those who leave at 5 to be with their families, each had a situation when they were pressured to stay late day after day and at some point just said, "no, I'm leaving".

Anyway, Penny Arcade's human resource management obviously sucks. But hey, they had a guy doing the work of a 3-4 person team and for cheap to boot. Why shouldn't they expect to find someone else to pump and dump?
The US produced a lot of spectacular rise & fall billionaire stories, but none were greater than the two that Japan produced.

Masayoshi Son, of Softbank, hit a peak of $76 or so billion. Eventually dwindling down to $1.1 billion, a 'loss' of about $75 billion. Don't feel too bad for him though, perhaps fittingly given the discussion of a bubble again, he's back up to $16 billion in net worth and ascending (75% gain in wealth this past year).

Yasumitsu Shigeta was worth $42 billion at the peak of the bubble. Numerically he basically lost it all; what he had left was a rounding error. He was the founder of telecom company Hikari Tsushin. In 1999, he was Japan's youngest billionaire at 34. He's now back to being a billionaire again, 14 years later.

only if there's no demand. And I think there's a floor on how low demand can go that comes from the black market.

So I don't think its doomed to fail.

Why not let website visitors make your measurements by loading the JavaScript files from the CDNs in the background?

Something like (untested):

var i = 0;
var urls = [
"http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery/2.0.3/jquery-2.0.3.min.js",
"http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.0.3.min.js",
...
];

function measureRemaining() {
if(i >= urls.length) return;
var url = urls[i++];
measureLatency(url, function(latency) {
// TODO: post (url,latency) to back-end
measureRemaining();
});
}

function measureLatency(url,responseFn) {
var script = document.createElement("script");

// Bust through browser cache
script.src = url + "?bust=" + Math.random():

var start = new Date().getTime();

script.onload = function() {
var end = new Date().getTime();
var latency = end - start;
responseFn(latency);
};

document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(script);
}

measureRemaining();

In this way, you'll get actual end-user performance from a (hopefully) large number of different network locations. You will probably want to do this in a separate iframe to avoid changing the behaviour of your webpage.
Another prediction: In the future, after bitcoin is abandoned, a world-wide organization will be set up to introduce a cryptocurrency that does not not involve mining, which allows inflation.
Parser module for the amazon kindle's indevice highlight ands notes
I tend to be a fairly relativistic, each-to-his-own person, so when things like this come up, I generally nod my head in agreement.

I don't think I can do that here, though. You're totally right in that people have different utility functions, but I believe that there are some things that are just objectively bad and unhealthy, and whether or not you think you enjoy them or "like" them, they are still bad for you, and possibly bad for others.

I don't want to live in a world where it's ok for a company to create a position like this guy was in, and have that be the norm. No, it's not like that, but the more we apologize for companies that do that, and the more we say, "oh, it's ok for that person to work in those conditions; if you don't like it then pick another job", the easier we make it for companies to think that those kinds of things are ok for everyone.

And then there's the wage issue. Bottom line: if you are working the jobs of more than one people, you should be paid more than one person. This guy took a pay cut to do more work. That's certainly a reasonable thing to do if compensation comes from other (healthy) angles, which appears not to be the case. The job posting for his replacement explicitly says they're cheap-ass bastards who aren't going to pay what you are worth or what the job duties merit.

That's not just a company I don't want to work for. That is a company with staffing practices that are actively harmful to individuals and the industry as a whole.
