I'm just saying this because, to _remove_ a tab you have to click on the "+". Awesome intuitive design.
Uber black or UberX? UberX would be the fair comparable to Lyft.
Not necessary to do harm to your data.

What you want is truecrypt with a shadow partition. See, forensics can tell if your laptop drive has an encrypted partition. But they can't tell how many. So, set up a dummy encrypted partition with user/pass and your normally used partition with user/pass.

Depending on which user/pass you enter, truecrypt will decrypt the appropriate partition. The government can snoop all they want on your dummy partition. They will find nothing. When they ask why you encrypted it, you tell them because you always protect your things. You also lock your house when you leave etc.
Of course you should have some things on your dummy partition that make it look like it is actually being used. If you just have a freshly installed OS with no sign of usage, that might get noticed.
I'm sure you meant "helpless" and not "worthless"?
Sift Science is looking for our first marketing hire. Help us fight fraud.
Sift Science (http://siftscience.com) is looking for our first marketing person in sunny/foggy San Francisco.

Last year there was $4B in online fraud and 70% of that was driven by organized crime. The opponents are no longer script kiddies -- they’re just as smart and capable as any of us, and their attacks are evolving in both scale and sophistication. As the world becomes more connected, this problem will only get worse. We’re building a large-scale machine learning system paired with elegant visualization/UI tools to help ecommerce businesses take a stand. We’re literally fighting bad guys, and have big plans beyond fraud.

Our team includes several ex-Googlers with experience spanning e-commerce analytics, search quality, ads quality, and speech recognition. We value respect, collaboration and creativity, and don't take ourselves too seriously. We want to create a great place to work -- a company is nothing without its people.

Responsibilities:

* Translate new product/technical capabilities into meaningful customer benefits, including concrete positioning and messaging for all new product features

* Generate and nurture qualified leads via content marketing (whitepapers, case studies, social media, infographics, webinars, etc.) and digital marketing (SEO, A/B testing, email, ads, etc.)

* Evangelize and demonstrate the product to relevant technical and nontechnical audiences at tradeshows and conferences

* Plan and execute successful product launches, working closely with product, engineering, PR, design, support and sales

* Create copy, diagrams, videos and concepts to bring Sift Science to life on the web site, in collateral, and in presentation materials

Our investors include Union Square Ventures, First Round Capital, Max Levchin (PayPal co-founder), Marc Benioff (Salesforce CEO), Chris Dixon (Andreesen Horowitz), Y Combinator, SV Angel, and others well-versed in e-commerce, payments, and enterprise software. We offer market salary, meaningful equity, health insurance, custom dev setup, beer o’clock, relocation help, etc. just like everyone else. But what’s most important is the work you do and who you do it with. Everything else is just icing on the cake.

Let’s make the Internet a better place. Send your resume / GitHub to jobs+hn@siftscience.com
I think you forgot the pre-gmail days of setting up spam filters this way.
For me the big issue is the phrase "animal production".

Not farming, rearing, husbandry, but straight to the point factory industrial production.
Disclosure: I made this site explicitly as an alternative to instantdomainsearch. So far, I like my UI better (who doesn't love angry bears?), but they appear to be faster still...
My favourite part of this (aside from the message) is that it links back to this exact discussion page.
Tough to say whether you're in odd minority. As I suggested above, I think market is splitting between riders who want a quiet/professional ride, and a fun/engaging ride. Uber is clearly leader in first, and Lyft is clearly leader in second.

UberX has some soul searching to do. Are they going to be the Lyft competitor (fun/engaging), or the cheaper Uber black (quiet/professional)? So far I see them in the second bucket, but this ad makes me ponder.
I think that Lyft sells the experience, and Uber sells the transparency. A perfect Lyft experience is fun and social. A perfect Uber experience is subtle and seamless.
Having just secured my own J1 visa, I can attest to how relatively easy it was.

Yes. Sorry, that was meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek, but that did not really come through here. Even the best parents I know have reached that point of exhausted frustration with their children at some time or another (myself included). I love 'em more than life itself, but they can be little life suckers sometimes.
Just to be nit-picky -- TSA != DHS/Immigration.
If you are a Canadian citizen you should come up to Vancouver. I'll consider giving you an internship at my startup.
If you write down your secrets on a diary, or tell some of your friends about it, or God forbid! write it up on Facebook, then you're asking for trouble (or maybe you want those "secrets" to not stay secret forever).

My secrets are in my head, I don't talk about them to anyone, I don't write them down. They will die with me.

Of course that doesn't work for a business. But a business is NOT a person, so it's disingenuous to claim that businesses have a right to "privacy". Businesses have no "human rights". Businesses are things, like a table or a shoe.
In my oppinion: as long as you pay for a service, that service should support your neeeds; This is a major bug that they were not aware of until now that's why you got a cheap answer.
So how did this work? An investor presented the idea to Conan? Or did Lyft present the idea as an advertisement/comedy bit? Conan has never heard of Lyft. Surely it can't just be one of their writers ideas... Uber has been around for awhile and never had this kind of product placement.

It was funny as hell, so much so that I want to see those three together more often, but I'm still curious how it came to be.
Tell that to government first. Its government lies... sorry, PR that started this re-defining lark, not us people. We have to discuss these things in their terms now, unfortunately.
Isn't this the same as with product placement in TV shows?

Sometimes you see the characters using a Mac complete with logo visible and sometimes the logo gets covered.

The reasons for this may also come from both ends. Either Apple can say "We did not authorize the use of our trademark" or they could just enjoy the free exposure on TV. On the other hand, the TV shows producers could say "What we would do with displaying the logo in that way would be advertising, therefore Apple would have to pay us to show their logo. Otherwise we just cover it up"
I'm pretty sure that Twitch will happily fill the gap here.
Very cool. Impressive that they got that kind of efficiency with Python.
I keep seeing this theory. However, Occam's razor is best applied here.
"The but about his cellular..."

Excellent typo! You type in a kiwi accent ;]

I have never heard of ancient Indian kingdoms going beyond present day afganistan[1]. This falls quite a bit short of Egypt.
On the eastern side though, Indonesia seems to have had Hindu kings[2]. I do recollect reading somewhere that at some point of time Indonesia was controlled from Kalinga but can't seem to find a reference any more.
I don't think that the whole area from Afganistan till Indonesia was ever under a single king at any point of time. But I am not much of a historian so wouldn't really bet on any of this stuff.

I gave one a go for about 20 minutes a couple of months ago.

Honestly, I think they have some way to go, but I'm optimistic they can make it work.

Using one of the sides to control a regular mouse in a game like Civ 5 I found that it was not even as good as a regular laptop touchpad. I suspect that a lot of the reason for that may be software though. There is a lot of subtle stuff going on with the motion of a laptop touchpad that has been built up over a decade of iteration and they just didn't have it tuned right.

Using it to control an FPS was interesting, but I was unable to tell if it would be better or worse than, say, a 360 controller in the long term. You certainly can't just pick it up and expect to do well with it quickly. I'm certain that more muscle memory would develop in that area over time though.

At the time I tried it, the haptics were only used to emit a clicking sound that was faster the faster you moved your finger along the surface. It vibrates the surface which makes it feel sort of like you are moving your finger across lots of small bumps rather than a flat surface.
Nice! But this machine is a supercomputer compared to a C64.

The ide itself doesn't , but you can't connect to your hana instance if you don't have the hana client. Which doesn't work on a mac. It may work on linux, but i've been told that Windows really was the platform of choice for development.
I don't see why we do.
Sounds about right. A delay would have hurt everybody. Of course I would have loved to get my hands on this in Europe but I'd rather they can release on time. That just means the US folks have to do all the work testing this and giving frequent feedback.

It's not like there is functionality that would require worldwide test data is there? Steam is the same all over the world. It's not like the XBone where 90% of it's features only work in the US.
The pong game does not look like anything a 286 could do. You have never used a 286 in real life, have you?
> I don't know what to think of this comment. Does this mean we should not use C or C++ ?

Yes.

Although the insecure design of C and C++ (thanks to its C underpinnings) are just an attack vector from many possible ones, it is quite easy to get exploited thanks to the skills of many people writing applications on those languages.

Removing away the possibility of out of bounds errors and pointer misuse, not possible in other safer systems programming languages, already removes away many of those attacks.

So nowadays we have to deal with compiling with -Wall -Wpedatic -Werror, coupled with valgrind like tools and static analyzers to achieve some level of confidence that undefined behaviors and pointer misuses are not creeping in the code.

You are right, this is only a small step in the whole security picture, there is also SQL injection, social engineering and many other forms of attacks. Still buffer overflow exploits remain one of the first forms of attack.

I do code in C++ since the ARM days, so I do know it quite well. Not making this argument as an anti-C++ zealot.
Also jQuery is included in UI5.
Cute, but free market won't help you if you are fighting big wigs like these. You'll get crushed using dirty tricks that can be 100% free market compatible or just bought out.

I place more faith in Google in this regard. At least they have cash to fight these monopoly titans.

Predictions from PayPal by David Marcus
Mobile Commerce in UK and US - Infographic - Across the Board
I've found Colemak to be a nice alternative that avoids may of the Dvorak pitfalls you mentioned. The z, x, c, v, and w keys are in the same position they are in QWERTY layout, meaning that the common shortcuts for functions like cut, copy, paste, undo, close tab, are unchanged. Perhaps more importantly, the punctuation remains unchanged, which I consider to be a plus for programmers, who regularly need to make use of brackets of various kinds. (I feel it's worth noting that the Dvorak layout was created in 1936, and probably did not take the syntax of modern programming languages into account.)

Because Colemak has more overlap with the QWERTY keyboard, the learning curve is much more gentle; it took me about 2 weeks to get up to around 50% of my old QWERTY WPM, and probably less than 3 months to get where I felt I could match my old WPM. By 1 month in I felt that I was efficient enough with Colemak that it was worth it to type a bit slower in exchange for the increase in comfort it afforded.

I've found that the biggest inefficiency that came with the transition was not physical, but mental. During the early weeks of learning the new layout, I needed to actually devote some conscious thought to what my fingers are doing, meaning that those brain cycles couldn't be used to process what I was about to type next, leading to a process where I frequently needed to pause and think about what I was typing, whereas it's typically more continuous and interruption-free as my fingers try to keep up with my brain. During the first few weeks of transitioning, I used Colemak only for "clerical" tasks like writing emails and some documentation I was working on at the time, and not for coding.
Not every moment, and some babies are 'easier' than others. But the baby does need the 'social' contact for better development.
Congratulations Caltech on a great move! This will only have positive effects for the future of scholarly publishing.

Best part:

>Faculty may still grant exclusive rights to their publishers, either permanently or for an embargoed period, but to do so, they must request a waiver from the open-access policy. At other institutions with open-access policies, such as MIT and Harvard, faculty have requested waivers for about 5 percent of the total number of papers produced, usually to comply with the requirement of a few publishers that want a formal waiver in order to even consider manuscripts for publication.

5%, and in those cases, because of dinosaur publishers. This is a very conclusive sign for the shift in mentality towards open access.
How did they manage that? Note: RPS is down atm.
You hit the nail on the head. This approach of containers as a "static binary on steroids" is a major aspect of my motivation in docker's design. I hope this will become more obvious as we progress in the implementation.

In this video, they go in-depth about the different youtube issues going on at the moment, both the recent content-ID massacre, and the new status for network/partners that's coming.

Worth spending time on if you are at all interested in these issues. (Description has shortcuts to the different parts discussed as well, but I recommend watching the entire thing.)
I so badly hope you are right. The corporate welfare state must irritate people other than me... Surely?
>And when I say "there's exceptions" I dont know how you can say i make a blanket statement.

Honestly, calling most videogame music crap is a bit ignorant imo (even though you mention "exceptions"). A lot of videogames, even minor ones and some indies, have amazing music and OST. This is because sound is one of the most important aspects of game development, even though most people don't really understand that.

It is up there, style-wise, with graphics and gameplay. A good OST can make or break a game and it's surprising how unnoticed this goes until you find a game with actual crap/out of place music, and then you notice.

I often listen to several game soundtracks and I own a few albums just of pure videogame music, there is a huge market from fans (and even non-fans) directly buying music CDs of videogame OSTs. Plus they are often sold with collector's editions and similar.

Let's give a few examples of games with great music (great, not just "good", for most of them are at least good and far from "crap"):
Final Fantasy, Halo, Monkey Island, Zelda, Civilization, Silent Hill (by far my favorite), Castlevania, Portal, The Elders Scrolls, Metal Gear...

I could go on, but you get the point[1]. As a musician I can say for sure that game soundtracks are among the most entertaining and fun to play, there's a lot of people on youtube recording covers and re-arrangements of famous game OSTs.

Really, claiming that "most videogame music is crap" is just being ignorant.

There is a lot more work on synthetic viruses that you might not be aware of that goes beyond just simple instantiation (like viral attenuation for vaccines or hypotheses on origins of the viral outbreaks). Creating a novel virus these days is not that diffult (Grad student project). Anyways, your first post made it seem like it hadn't been done.
Love the overall concept!

How is this different from iwantmyname.com? Although it does lag sometimes, it still covers a wide range of TLDs.
The term that I've heard used for this is sterile transit. I'm not aware of any US airports having it.
This post brought back great memories of connecting my Amiga to the net ~1991. The greatest triumph at the time was FTPing synth patches for my Yamaha DX7 from a server in Texas to my unix account at UWA, downloading it to the Amiga via zmodem as the author did, then uploading via the second serial port to the DX7 with a serial to din (MIDI) cable made with 2 sockets, 2 wires and a resistor. I couldn't really believe it when it all worked.
I think you may be overloaded so it takes about 7 seconds for me to see the result of the autosuggest.

Hence, I think you should at least have an activity indicator :)
Also, the funny thing is that now that it's on HN, it is no longer "faster," as the footer proclaims. :(
Some people on YouTube play entire video games start to finish without even adding any kind of commentary. On the other end of things, you have things like some of the stuff mentioned in the article, or that TotalBiscuit/Garry's Incident blowup in which a company was clearly just trying to squelch negative reviews. The latter is clearly fair use, while the former is at best a very grey area.

While there are some games where videos are clearly not a substitute for playing the game (puzzle games, multiplayer games), there are others where they might be (low-difficulty games with a lot of FMV cutscenes)
It would be. I always wonder what they're actually looking for. Ideally, anyone with half a brain who is up to no good isn't going to keep 'evidence' on their computers. Since this often proves not to be true, the government has chosen to snoop through our stuff.

[edit to clarify timeframe as the authors state it.]
In my experience, few people get jobs that help others. There just aren't that many of them. Doing something that has a direct and measurable impact on people's lives is, unfortunately, something that you do in your spare time. Obviously that's a generalisation, there are a handful of jobs that meet the criteria, but aiming to get one is shooting for the moon.

But that doesn't matter. You can do good things outside of your job.

At the moment I'm building a mobile/web app that will help people keep track of their mental health state and the internal and external factors that affect it. By building up a set of data points I'll then be able to work out what factors help people feel better. Ostensibly it's for people with mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and so on, but the reality is that it could help pretty much everyone. Whether or not it'll go on to be something big that helps millions is an unknown, but I hope so. To be honest though, that shouldn't be a motivating factor - helping a few hundred people is just as important. One day I'll do a "Show HN" for it, but not yet.

Look for a problem and think of a solution for it. It's that easy (e.g. really hard :) ).
Customs require you to reclaim any checked bags too, so you can be sure of meeting TSA before you get on another flight.

I'm not informed as much as I could be about bitcoins, but it's comments like these that make it even more daunting. Slow learning curve I guess.

What happens when the number of bitcoin transactions becomes too great for the network to handle? There is a finite number of computers, they can only process so many transactions at a time. If bitcoin became as popular as the US dollar, would there be enough nodes out there to handle a load of that magnitude? Or, for a more specific example: tomorrow every monetary transaction in the US is done using bitcoin, what happens?

I did appreciate your subtle sarcasm though. A++

Since the Twitch player feels like it was written by monkeys in the 90s (while YT is finishing to roll-out its neat HTML5 player), I believe this is clearly not for the best.

Although, maybe the Twitch guys will compensate their awful technological lateness by showing some humanity (which Google seems less and less able to do).
