Ask HN: Recommend a way to search HTML?
Anyone recommend a search engine that can be asked to look for a specific snippet of HTML or JS on all (indexed) web sites?
I'd rather have semi-painful upgrades if it means making progress and not being stuck with a horrible base of a product.

Being stuck with bad design decisions because the framework core team is too busy worrying about making incompatible changes and moving at a snail's pace for new features is exactly how you become obsolete.

For some reason large changes in society rarely happen until entire generations of people die. Things move so slowly because people somehow fear change.

I for one love rails because I know the core team will make big changes if it's clearly for the better without worrying about pissing people off because in the end it's obviously the correct move.
It's sort of funny, that all three verification questions listed would be answerable by an attacker, but at least two would be easy for normal people to get wrong.
If it were possible, how long / $ would it take to make a transgenic mouse model with the human gene(s)?
So you spend $325 on gas for that trip. Which is about a third of the monthly payment required for a Model S.

I used to really want a Model S, but I just don't think paying for that much battery is worth it as long as your commute isn't over 60 miles. Instead of a Model S, you can lease a Leaf for city driving and buy luxury gas car for road trips, both combined for a smaller total payment. Plus you now have two cars!
I thought Youtube was built in Python, is that not true anymore?
Opinions on dating are opinions on gender, and they're not unusual, they're ridiculous.

I'm male. I consider myself a feminist. It's just as possible to offend me with ignorant statements as it is to offend anyone else, female or otherwise.
Spot the Fake – App Store Counterfeits
If anything, I would find myself more concerned about all the overly sensitive fellow males swarming me for something they perceive to take offense to on behalf of someone or a group entirely unrelated to them than I am potentially upsetting anyone on whose actual behalf the offense is feigned.
This is quite simple, but is full of good recommendations, personally I will take ideas from there to more fordward.
Apple's financials look pretty good compared to Q1 of 2001.
I don't know about that, chargebacks are a pretty nice thing.
That was my reading too - at no point do they seem to have access to Safe-mail.net. Even later when pointing out that the IP embedded in email headers matched BTCKing's home address... That's a rather roundabout way of doing things if you can ask for anything you please from Safe-mail.net.
Any ios dev happening in Bay Area
Stupid enough to trust him:

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/16/us/obamas-path-from-critic...

He was surprised at the uproar that ensued, advisers said, particularly that so many Americans did not trust him...
Are the lower layers really any less Goldbergian though? I would bet that everything from the physical hardware on up is laden with path dependencies, workarounds, and efficiency vs portability tradeoffs.

There's more to goodness than technical aesthetics -- ubiquity is important and arguably harder to achieve.
Would be cool if it gave you a slow 360 view instead of just a random side of the road. Good job!
I went through this almost two years ago, with the key difference being that I was able to sign up with Square and accept payments around four years ago (whenever they launched). I even interviewed there at one point, just like you.

After two months, they closed my account because I was living in Puerto Rico at that time and there are no partner banks in Puerto Rico. Once I moved to San Francisco and linked Square with my new California bank account, I was able to accept payments again.

Then one day I got a notification indicating that my account had been closed, and that the decision is final. I contacted Support, and they reiterated that their decision was final, and could not communicate with me any further.

It is the weirdest interaction I've ever had with a company. I still use them as a payment method and I'm a big fan of the company, but I feel disappointed whenever I log in and they remind me that my merchant account is disabled.
What do off color jokes have to do with sexism?

As an example, the dongle joke had nothing to do with sexism.

I am not trying to shame you but have you ever been around groups of women as they work or play? Off color jokes are typical of the species homo sapiens in 2014.
Well crap. I have social data for millions of people. I could put togeather a backup version of this easily. Does anyone have a use?
Lifelink – The Peer-to-Peer Life Counter for Magic: The Gathering
Gender discussions seem to arise on here (and almost every other geek/tech/whatever related group) between about one and three times per day. I'm pretty sure we have shared very similar discussions to the topic of this thread at least six other times around here in the last seven days.
How does Docker handle ABI incompatibility?

For example, EC2 disabled some of there extended instruction sets to ensue uniformity but I am not sure how long this will last. Then we will have to deal with Docker deployment problems.

I propose we dig deep into our Gentoo roots and build the dependencies on demand.
This is tiered justice aka not justice.

"New" companies can be less open with their users?!
Is company defined by it's specific name? If Google snaps up the service, does that make it less new? If my LLC moves to another corporate form, is it "new"?

What can make the six-month delay more delayed? How indefinitely can an investigation that lasts longer than six-months take?

I'm also confused about the and/or status for NSLs, "selectors", and FISA orders.
"Selectors" seems the most specific but the use of "will also be allowed" makes me question whether it's subject to the 250/1000 increment requirements at all.
I love this.

Articles like this are why you cannot trust industry to teach you programming. They're too busy getting it wrong, then patting themselves on the back about it.
Maybe HN should have an intentional name obfuscator. You sign up, you're assigned a random handle. It's consistent and has no meaning other than as a pointer.
Well Jeez, I really wasn't trying to invoke a bugbear. I'm reaching for a label. Yoo just happens to be the most prominent articulator (in my mind) of the ideas you guys are promoting. Do you disagree with that characterization? I didn't hear you protest the neo-conservative label, which I personally find much more pejorative.

As I say in my comment above, it seems that our fundamental disagreement is that I perceive a dangerous concentration of power in the executive, and you don't. If that's the case then we're likely at an impasse.
Too bad it didn't get many comments. :(
You could say "good morning" in a demeaning way, if you used a certain tone. It depends on specific culture, but usually there's certain very obvious (I have aspergers, so if I can see them, everyone can) protocols of interaction with people you don't know well. And in most situations you'd use the word "babe" at someone you don't know very well you probably shouldn't speak at all. The one exception that comes to my mind is "you're an actor and that's your line". So, yes, it's quite a bit worse than "miss". "Lady" only in third person, like "that lady just drove an 18 wheeler over my foot!"

But yes, honey and sweetheart would work just as badly. And yes, there's quite a few words that are worse. But "hey, they could do worse!" is no real argument. Sure they could.
No, we're not affiliated. It was an honest mistake. Thanks for pointing it out though.
Some of the homophone pairs the author used seem pretty dubious to me: ant/aunt, choral/coral, air/err, awed/odd, veldt/felt. This is partly British versus American English, but not wholly.

My personal homophony group is not trivial (I think); in particular, I believe that for all pairs of words I regard as having the same pronunciation, the number of "v"s is the same. The counterexample alleged on the linked page is "veldt = felt", but I (like the Dutch, I believe) pronounce "veldt" with a "v" rather than an "f" sound.

I can reduce everything else to the identity using only (what I think are) uncontroversial homophone pairs, so I claim that every native English speaker of large enough vocabulary has a homophony group that's either trivial or isomorphic to Z (and generated by "v").

(I did need some uncommon words, though I didn't try very hard to avoid them: od, gneiss, phlox, qat, flyte, lam. And some somewhat-uncommon ones: banns, rapt, wright.)
Because it feels creepy. I don't want to "pin" a person to my home screen because it just seems too attached.

"Build a new financial system" is not a relevant answer to "How can I accept payments from the majority of Americans?".
I didn't mean to claim that 100% of what could be named "musical instrument" is following perfectly the pattern, I was merely illustrating that "simple interfaces often require complex system".

Another illustration, in reverse: the Chinese chopsticks are among the simplest tool you can imagine, and it requires a somewhat steep learning curve, but once mastered it is really the most powerful food grabbing tool ever invented.

The Chinese brush is of the same nature: extremely simple, very hard to master, and very powerful (expressive) once mastered. Just like the violin (and VIM, and git, etc.)

On the other side of the spectrum you have the synth, IDEs,
Google search, etc. Simple UIs, simple to learn, but internals are very complex.
...only benefit the central entities...

The "central entities", whatever they may be, are certainly not the only parties that benefit. To be successful, we must broaden the appeal of the changes we hope to see.
Or the players for $1M. That's a much bigger bump for them.
It's trying to be a non-repudiation system based on something only you and they know. Unfortunately, without a credit history or paying utility bills, credit sources alone aren't enough. So why not use other facts such as partial DoB, partial SSN, parent/s SSN, etc. only when no other details are available? It's not ideal, but it's better than either losing business or falling back on something much less secure eg facts that are in the public record.
This had nothing to do with the blockchain, read the indictment: the undercover agent bought from BTCKing, was given a bank account, and looked up the bank account's info. That's pretty much end of story there. The rest is icing or getting Shrem's emails to nail him as an accomplice.
I wonder what he thinks of Campaign for North Africa: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/4815/the-campaign-for...

It's 8-10 players with a playtime of about 60000 hours. Yes, sixty thousand hours. That's twice the length of the actual conflict. The amount of detail is insane...

> They don't want or need special treatment.

Many women these days are certainly expressing that they want special treatment. The question is if they need it, and if they are representative of women in IT as a whole.
Isn't the whole benefit of the internet that you don't know anything about the other people and can thereby consider them on the merits of their words and actions? I'm not pre-judged by being white or male or fat (and therefore inherently "dumb and lazy") or anything else.

Not a lot of meat to this article. "Ra ra, python" with no real comparison to anything else. You could rewrite the article for Ruby or javascript and you'd really just be changing the names of the tools/libraries, the points could remain the same.

Generators? Hello Enumerators in Ruby and using simple callbacks in node.

Speed? Hello V8 for JS. Hello vast speed improvements in MRI, C extensions, or leaning on the speed of the JVM for Ruby/JRuby.

Broad? Javascript is probably the most widely deployed language on the planet, and by many measures the most used. Ruby trails JS, and maybe Python too, but its still plenty popular. Not to mention the depth of libraries for both is pretty stunning.

Javascript is not javascript, ruby is not ruby. There are a number of vastly different and wildly popular JS implementations, and embedding JS in other applications is plenty common. Ruby has MRI (CRuby), Rubinius, JRuby (which is much more active than Jython), mruby (embedded ruby), and opal for compiling ruby into JS, not to mention the heavy ruby influences on CoffeeScript and Sugar.js.

The articles points are all valid, but none of them really demonstrate that Python is the answer to the article's thesis question: "You are looking for a job, which language should you learn?"

That said, Python is great. I like Python. Just not a big fan of poorly argued fan boy articles.

On the topic of reputation Buffet was once quoted as saying, "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently."

So while he no doubt guards his reputation carefully if you follow him at all you'll notice he is also very much a sales man and often promotes his businesses and products. Berkshire's annual stock holders meeting is like a Berkshire brands convention and Buffet himself encourages people to take the opportunity to patronize the businesses.

In that sense I don't find this surprising at all.
Is your argument that "if there is a legitimate use for something, the government has no right to regulate it, even if it might be used criminally?" I think that is equally absurd. There is no rational reason to adopt a dogmatic position such as "Either the government must ALWAYS regulate X or the government must NEVER regulate X". It is entirely consistent (and imo a much better idea) to say "The government should sometimes regulate X, and sometimes not, under the following conditions...". To say that the government can and should regulate cash transfers of over a certain amount (say $10,000) but not smaller transfers, is perfectly reasonable.
Oh that's a good idea! I'll try it. Thanks

> I still use them as a payment method and I'm a big fan of the company

Why? If you had such a bad relationship with a company, why use them and why being such a fan? I genuinely don't understand, if I had an interaction like this, I would never recommend them.

Amusingly, this actually still happens in the world of tabletop RPGs. Some people will take a new game, throw out bits of it they think they won't like, change some rules, and then tell you how it wasn't any good.

If the designers of a system have spent considerable effort testing and refining it, then it should be taken as a whole, even if parts of it don't make immediate sense. Again, all true for well-designed games. Even if you don't understand the reason for a certain rule, following it can still have a positive effect.

The "comedic banality" nonsense is tiring.

At least you also said what you really mean, that the sexism is problematic, but far too often I have seen people pretend that their issue with a offensive/bigoted/problematic joke is that it is not funny or cliche^. Let's be honest here, that is not actually what bothers people. We only hear those objections when there is something else wrong with the joke; nobody objects to non-offensive unfunny jokes. Groan perhaps, but not object.

^ Usually this manifests as something like "it's not even that it is offensive, the joke is just _lazy_"
I have a very obese male friend who discussed his situation on the internet and had a flood of hateful messages (and mild real life stalking) to the point that he almost had a nervous breakdown. I couldn't count how many times "just kill yourself" or "I hope you fucking die you fat lazy fuck" appeared in his inbox.

So, really, it's hard to reduce these ingredients to a sex or gender.
Thanks JumpCrisscross, I'll try that.
Excellent point. Re-reading it now, it looks like the emails were addressed to/from safe-mail.net but the actual collection was from the cash processor's email, not safe-mail.net.
Excuse my lack of knowledge in this area, but is this vaccine purely preventative, or is it possible to administer it to someone already infected.

I know/believe with traditional vaccines that you usually have to do it before infection. (Though could be wrong in this regard as well)

If not, why not?

There are a lot of moving parts, so it's really hard for me to estimate the cost here. It's done somewhat routinely in some institutions (although it is very, very expensive).

You first need to make humanize mice (i.e. mice with human immune systems). Luckily we can make those by taking NOD/SCID mice (an [expensive] immunodeficient mouse line) and then colonize them with human hematopoietic stem cells from a human donor to reconstitue the immune system. Then you have to do a lot of experiments to make sure your humanized mice can mount immune responses. Then, you can test your peptide and see if your humanized mice will make CD8 T cells to your peptide... Finally, you can infect your mice with HIV (now that you have a humanized immune system) and see how your vaccinated vs. unvaccinated mice fare.

I have no idea what the downsides of this approach are because I don't work on HIV or with humanized mice--but mice ain't people. So after all that work you'd have shed limited light on what would happen in real people.

I would argue that a better approach is to see whether HIV patients have actually made CD8 T cells against these antigens. This can be done more inexpensively and would give you pretty good evidence that your peptide is immunogenic in real people.

I really dislike these ID verification services. I had my identity stolen about a decade ago; worked it out with the police and credit bureau. To this day, I still get verification questions related to the fraudulent credit card account. Do I answer truthfully and not get verified, or play the game and choose the "correct" yet wrong answer? (answer: play the game.)
And don't be forgetful or old... I'm way over 60 and since I cannot remember names and places I lived 30 or 40 years ago, I am constantly locked out.

So if they have the data, why couldn't a pirate, NSA officer or errant banker?

Perhaps a better test is what I choose to forget.
You seem to think that each of these posts is supporting what you claim, when it's doing nothing of the sort.

Firefox was slow because it had a very expensive abstraction layer that, while tolerable on a high power desktop, was just too much for what could be a low power mobile device. They didn't switch from C++ to Dalvik, they changed their GUI layers and how they initialize. This does nothing, at all, to support your claim about native apps being either slow to start or being large.

Nor does the Chrome bit. It's a large, full-featured browser. Further, on what is it slow to start?
Did you ever dispute a charge or have an incident with PayPal? They will block users forever (or a long time) I've seen the error code on the other side. Basically "PayPal doesn't like this guy due to a past issue so he's not getting through"
It's very common in software development to receive incomplete requirements. My world would be a very different place if I always receive feature complete design documents (and in same cases, any documents at all). Had I insisted on any kind of TDD, it would greatly increase my workload by reducing my ability to alter the design to accommodate new feature requests and changes while internal clients test the code.

I do gather some places do things differently though. Must be nice.
I'd rather take the stairs.
I think so, yeah. I noticed it when I started making more money when I got a full-time salaried job. Before I'd quickly notice a couple dollars missing from my account or I'd really rely on that $50 for gas.

Now I could get gas 3-4 times per week and I wouldn't even notice. I'd imagine if I was worth billions I could easily not notice 10, 20, 30k missing. Then again Buffet is notorious for being frugal so perhaps he would notice.
You have failed to parse my sentence. Of course there would still be human trafficking. There would not be (drug-related human trafficking.) There would not be (drug-related organized crime.)
