I grew up in India. And I agree with you here.

Being said that, I doubt how "feeling less guilty" make any difference, if they are going to do it anyway.
My bad, missed part of that.
Almost every single medium to large scale fight in EVE will get "CCP'd" somehow. Whether it's a node crash, a node denying new connections, or any number of other issues.

It's frustrating at times, but generally accepted because it affects every side eventually.
What are the hardware costs per chip-and-pin reader?

$500?

It doesn't seem like such a big investment for a mom and pop.
Wal-Mart/Target would have to buy 50-75 per store but the costs would be relatively the same.

I usually combine two words together (with one word need to be short) to come up with catchy, brandish, easy to remember, unique available domain name.

Examples of my recent picks:

hostrum.com (for hosting services)

autositer.com (for script to auto-generate websites)

bitcoinway.com (for open source bitcoin payment solution)

listgun.com (for autoresponder services)

presentlove.com (personal development blog)
Have you even identified your target market yet?

It's not a bad idea, I just don't think you've gotten the other part of the startup right yet (sales and marketing).

I don't mind helping you with your idea (to guide you in a sense). I've given advice to a couple others before.

I think if you clearly identified your target market and then attacked them directly, you would find some success. Also, your landing page needs to become more "pretty".

Even though it doesn't look that bad, it kind of has the early 2000s Java web-tool look.
Ukrainians, not Russians.

I take it as hatred of oligarchs. It is just coincidence, that none of them is Ukrainian. I think that if Ukrainian had a chance to become oligarch, he would use it.
No, no civil war possible. The reason is quite simple. Current government has support, but its very passive, while anti-government protestors are extremely active and self-organizing. It is really people vs. government, even if some support government.
In all fairness $136 isn't really serious amount of money to be collected and it can be a little bit trickier for someone who isn't used to Bitcoin. I wouldn't bother to collect it as well.
JK Rowling analysis was post-facto, she wasn't outed by the analysis, the leak came from her lawyer's wife [1].

All I have to say is that there's a reason Yushchenko was voted out of office so unceremoniously.... The rest of the country won't join the protests because they don't want a government consisting of Fatherland and Svoboda...
Depends how you play it. I played for a couple of years just doing the missions and a bit of trading. My "multi-player" was occasionally chatting to other people in-system. No corp, no ISK, no spreadsheets (apart from trading - very similar to Elite), no lag. Eventually stopped when the missions ramped up too quickly - you were supposed to complete them with other people.

1) Not necessarily, you may not even need progressive rendering if sprite batches bring it down to a manageable number of concurrent requests, right?

2) How is it any more work to encode? It's the same total number of pixels and the memory footprint isn't that large for server or client.

I don't mean to dis your efforts, looks like you've done some nice work that performs well.

I just think cloud/media management is an interesting problem with a lot of different ways to look at it.
I may be mistaken, but wasn't it originally President Yanukovych who did not agree to sign the EU Accords that launched these protests in the first place?

This may be a sign of progress, but I believe we may be celebrating the ouster of the wrong guy. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)
I, too, am hesitant to respond to an old story. That's especially the case because some offended denialist on this thread is downvoting all of my comments out of pure vendetta.

Perhaps you're right about the jail claim reaching too far. I didn't think it was too much of a stretch to guess that a company founder would fight to keep his company's investment thesis sound.

I did indeed have the data to back up all of the insurance market claims, but wanted to make this a self-contained article rather than direct people away to footnote links. Here's an industry paper written by employees from a plethora of reinsurance companies. The paper directly argues for higher rates to account for risk models failing to account for worst case climate scenarios and somewhat lower rates where climate mitigations are used. They also cite an academic paper describing how UK flood and Florida wind storm insurance markets will become uninsurable without climate mitigations.

https://www.genevaassociation.org/media/616661/ga2013-warmin...

The UK had such a hard time keeping their insurance against floods that they had to enact government protections to stop insurers from pulling out of the market completely.

3 Surprisingly Absurd Ways to Come Up With Ideas
I decline to discuss, under compulsion, where I have sung, and who has sung my songs, and who else has sung with me, and the people I have known. I love my country very dearly, and I greatly resent this implication that some of the places that I have sung and some of the people that I have known, and some of my opinions, whether they are religious or philosophical, or I might be a vegetarian, make me any less of an American. I will tell you about my songs, but I am not interested in telling you who wrote them, and I will tell you about my songs, and I am not interested in who listened to them.
Also wondering how they plan to address the problem of users losing their USB sticks or mistakenly swapping them with others, and the security of the personal data. Assuming the sticks will use encryption to store personal data. In which case, how do you handle restoring an encrypted partition when users forget their password, etc.
If by "real world", you mean the world of things, then I would agree with you. But the world is the totality of all facts, not the totality of all things.
This is generally true for small-medium scale engagements, but when 2000+ are in local you can safely bet the majority are "real" people. We had engagements where our own alliance would essentially DDOS our VOIP server with 800-1000 people on.
> 30% of Ukrainians are NOT in favour of the EU treaty, and happen to speak Russian as their first language. Not surprising Russians are not keen Ukraine to get separated from Russia either. But why is that unfortunate?

Correct. I happen to be a Russian-speaking Ukrainian and I am much more in favor of Ukraine being more open to the west and breaking away from Russia, but I know that's not the only opinion. The fact that not everybody agrees is in my opinion unfortunate because Russia has no interest in investing in Ukraine's future.

> Also I hope you are not suggesting that opinions should be somehow filtered based on whether a poster has a Russian name.

Not in the slightest. I am suggesting that people who don't know much about the situation do their own research rather than trusting comments on the several stories that ended up on HN in the past few days. There is a lot of bias here, especially pro-Russian bias. I would like to see people not directly involved with the situation form their own opinions based on facts.

I would never say that EVE doesn't reward playing at any level. I'm just wired to do things bigger - and I have a hard time playing at a lower level in most anything.

I would recommend getting into a good corp/alliance though - there's nothing that improves gameplay more than that.

I think you could run through translation software (like english -> french -> english) in order to 'anonymise' your style.

> Over the last days not only the far right confront the government, but also people of more moderate views. And they constitute the majority of the protesters. Many of them are indifferent to nationalism or negatively predisposed to it. Many of them don’t support integration into the EU. People go into the streets to protest against police violence. And a significant part of them is unenthusiastic or even skeptical about the clashes in the Grushevskogo street. Often one can hear that right radicals are a “Trojan horse” of Yanukovych and special services, designed to discredit the protest. Certainly there would be many more Kievites participating in the protests if there was a way to take those idiots useful to the government out of the streets.

Where does that $10m figure come out from? I couldn't find any solid references with a web search.
My girlfriend volunteers full-time for the local food pantry. It was formerly an independent nonprofit, but a few years ago it was taken over by United Way.

Since then, any and all cash donations, given on site at the pantry itself, are funnelled to United Way. The pantry never sees a single cent of the money and United Way does not provide any food (UW employs two people and sends a truck periodically that delivers food from an unaffiliated food bank). No one who works there has any idea where the money goes or what happens to it. The employees there are not allowed to explain this to donors. The donors, of course, have no idea either.

The pantry is only allowed to keep tangible foodstuffs that are donated directly to them, which they can then give to people who need it. The pantry often runs out of certain types of food. When they do, there's nothing they can do but hope someone will donate more of that specific item, meanwhile watching as the cash donations that could be used to buy it get sent away.

I realize this sounds implausible and I can't cite any sources for it[1]. Just be careful about the assumptions you make regarding where the money goes. Food is food and people can eat it. Money can get funnelled or turned into other things, and unless you're there to watch it happen, you don't know what's going on.

[1]: Howevever, if you haven't already, read the Wikipedia page on United Way sometime and see if you can figure out what it is that they actually do, other than collect money, build bureaucracy and get involved in major scandals.

Yep, that's EVE's biggest weakness. It's a well-designed game, and the player interactions, politics, and general sandbox gameplay are fantastic, but the combat is absolutely terrible and unfathomably boring.

There are actually some games out there that have EVE's sandbox features, but with combat that takes significant skill (usually in the style of a first-person shooter/slasher). Unfortunately, few of them have become very popular due to poor funding and the inclination of the general public to avoid very "hardcore" games.

Some members of those alliances still certainly have titans. But the alliances themselves don't have them laying around to redistribute to those who lost them and it will be difficult for them to replace them since the build time on a titan is over 2 months each and there are not that many builders in game capable of making them.

Idea: Showcasing 10 promising startups per month
Hello everyone.

Here is an idea for HN. Once a month, a list of 10 newly-launched startups can be placed here on HN for people to discover. This will avoid startups feeling guilty or shameful for using HN to promote themselves.

I can create a Google form and curate the startups for each month.

If anybody else likes this idea, share your thoughts, upvote (so others can see) and we can make it happen.

I wouldn't call Woz a serially successful guy, though. Brilliant. Amazingly nice. Talented. But not serially successful in starting and making businesses valuable.

It is one thing to do something great and be successful. It's another to do it over and over again. The former is much easier than the latter. Sometimes it's just being in the right place at the right time. Doing it over and over requires great skill and intelligence and drive. (I don't put myself anywhere near that category.)
I would probably try to track down the bitcoin used to purchase the URL. It might be anonymous to buy, but certainly the seller might not be as careful as the blog author. If the seller could be tracked down, then you would have a good idea of which city the person lived in.

Then, if you really cared, you could set up malicious Tor nodes in hopes of getting traffic from that particular user. I only have a superficial knowledge of the Tor protocol, but I imagine if you set up a malicious first Tor node (a node that takes the initial incoming request from a Tor browser), you could track all the IP addresses, and mark any of them coming from that particular city. You wouldn't know what the person was seeing, but I imagine you could tell if there was activity on that particular IP address.

From there, you could do some sort of analysis on the blog, and see if any updates correlate to traffic you see from that city based in the IP addresses that had activity at that particular time. Since the US has about 400k users in total, I would harbor a guess that maybe the top city might have 100k users max, and then if you could whittle down based on time, you should be able to narrow it down to 100 users. Then you start knocking on doors.

The luxury organizations like the government have is that they can take their time and wait for you to make a mistake.

Yes, if they wired it. In my experience, actual design with this best practice is frustratingly rare. It's as if the hardware designers think, "Oh, it's just I2C, what could go wrong."

If they didn't do it, the chips are probably only connected to a master board level reset, and you're basically screwed.

To find out whether it's the case on the affected devices, absent schematics or a scope, I'd grep around the kernel sources and look for definition of such a pin. (If sources aren't available, try symbols.)

If you're using C++, check out Boost.Compute [1]. It provides a high-level STL-like API for OpenCL (without preventing you from directly using the low-level OpenCL APIs). It simplifies common tasks such as copying data to/from the device and also provides a number of built-in algorithms (e.g. sorting/reducing/transforming, etc).

The configuration is the same as Bitcoin.

Basically, the Dogecoin wallet is going to attempt to punch a hole in your firewall with UPnP and any other NAT-busting techniques the author (of Bitcoin) has contrived to enable you to help new nodes to come to sync by sending them blocks from the winning blockchain.

The daemon mode (which listens on an RPC/HTTP port for commands like "send money here") is not going to attempt to run unless you enable a password in your .doge/config (just like bitcoind). RPC clients will need this password to be able to issue commands. If you have one node, then both the client and server will have the same .doge/config and it's secure, assuming they don't guess your password. If you have multiple nodes, this is the way to have a lightweight client that sends commands to your "heavyweight" wallet. If the client doesn't have your RPC password, the client can't do anything that any 'nobody' new node on the network should be able to do.

You can run Dogecoin on public networks, or the Dogecoin wallet has a bug that you should report. Whether it's wise to be in a position to be the first to discover such a bug (by losing all the coins in your wallet), that's another matter, but if there are such bugs in the wallet then it's really not viable, and you should therefore probably sell all your doges immediately.

> However what makes EVE every unique is that a new player is valuable as a 10 year old veteran if they are willing to learn.

This is one of the most important bits, and people coming from other games might think it's hyperbole.

For mostly every other game out there, there's always some upgrade to be had until you've hit the very highest level of gear. In EVE, there's a larger set of roles than the Tank/Healer/DPS holy trinity, and while some roles can be quite cash/skill intensive (like piloting capital ships), there are other important roles (like tackling) where you can have near-optimal gear and skills within a very short while.

There is no linear progression of ships in EVE PvP. You don't need, or want, a capital ship for tackling. You want a small, fast, ship capable of literally flying circles around the big ships, fast enough that the big guns can't really hit it. If you focus your skills on it, you can get to the point where you're an effective tackler within a few weeks at most, and within a couple of months you'll have a character that's tackling with the best of them. At that point, it's really up to whether _you_ are up to snuff.
