It is a ridiculous and I would say blatant insult to users and their security to not firewall off apps. I really, really don't understand it.

With BA Avios, avoid redeeming on AA or BA. Fortunately, redemptions on Cathay Pacific and a few other partners still don't involve fuel surcharges.

Baring the recent devaluation, this was one of my favorite aspects of United's mileage program—no fuel surcharges on any partner. I'm flying to Berlin in June on Lufthansa first class and the only fees were government taxes.
Wow, nice ripoff. Making me as a European really proud.
Could you explain the expression, "white-label?" First time I've heard it.
By "manually", I assume we include self-generated software assists? I have a spreadsheet that is specific to my circumstances, and which I modify (quite lightly) each year according to changes in the instructions and circumstances (e.g., children age out of dependent status).
this story sucks (downvote me, I don't care)

Supporting (or at least not actively stopping) third-party firmware can also make sense for a company like Linksys not that they aren't part of Cisco.

Before somebody could purchase a less expensive Linksys wireless router, install a third-party firmware, and use it like the would a more expensive Cisco AP. So for Cisco this might take away from their higher end lines. For the new owners it's just an added sale that they wouldn't otherwise get.

It's too bad that HTC didn't get how important their XDA supporters were to staying relevant in the mindshare of the early adopters, who in turn recommend hardware purchases for the mainstream consumer. It's the same thing with Linksys.
Or a normal desktop version with the classic windows theme.
Haha, yeah it wasn't exactly mean to last, but this didn't help matters. Hey, you could even say iMessages helped them do the right thing. Good guy iMessages.

1.1) Not everyone lives in a building with six other apartments. Don't underestimate a) the number of people who might not have neighbours available to sign b) how much some of us don't particularly want to keep bothering our neighbours in the evening, collecting packages from them. Almost everything that can happen to a package when I'm not available to sign for it is problematic: I recently had a Mac Mini delivered, which I wasn't present for. It had been left in a 'safe place', of course: our recycling bin...
It seems to be back up. I got confirmation it was down for a few minutes, at least not only in my area.
Are Southeast Asia technology companies under-valued?
Let’s start with the question, “Are Southeast Asia technology companies under-valued? Different people will have different perspectives depending whether you sit in Singapore or in Jakarta or Bangkok. Recently, Terence from Tech In Asia published an interesting post on the investment activity around Southeast Asia. Two important observations came out from the article: (a) the investment in e-commerce, fashion and online retail constituted where most of the money were channeled to and (b) the amount of investment that Rocket Internet amassed against local investors is 5 to 1. Taking this further with the data, we can draw some interesting insights about the value of Southeast Asia technology companies. One interesting insight is that the asymmetry of information about the Southeast Asia leads to different perceived values of startup companies in the market.

Will be happy to hear your thoughts.

I was going to select H&R Block Online but that's not an option, guess I could select other but when I think probably a lot of people use it, it should be a poll option.

Why do we use it? Simple, TurboTax Online _still_ in _2014_ says my system is not supported. I run Chrome on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

H&R Block Online is just fine with my system, doesn't complain and works great, we've used it for six years, on Ubuntu.
I wasn't even commenting regarding the stuck number, which is clearly an issue. I was arguing that this:

It just screams data loss to ruin your day. I was (kinda) hoping OP would see that and maybe rethink his storage plans, because otherwise he'll be posting "wahh my photos weren't backed up" soon enough.
The site's organization scheme has poor discoverability. Having the categories buried inside of a list element, instead of hierarchically closer to the root, is unusual and confusing. (Yes, many blog posts have tags at the end, but many blogging platforms also have major categories/tags in a sidebar.)

Having the some of the most useful tags (platformer, puzzle, rhythm, etc.) highly visible before the listing would go a long way towards improving usability of the site.

All of that said, I am a big fan of the site's concept.
Do you have a ballpark for the remuneration on offer? I'm

LOL. They make plenty, they just funnel cash to affiliates via the cost structure. Having a non-profit status enables this shell game by eliminating economic entropy.

Its 2013...this is not "news", its is standard operating procedures in many walks of life. Have you seen the television contracts for the NCAA?

Intuit's statement on the matter: http://www.propublica.org/documents/item/621241-intuit-state...
RET is 195 or C3 in hex which also corresponds to modrm operands "eax, ebx" or "ebx, eax" so there's a pretty good chance of say a MOV instruction e.g. 89 C3, "mov ebx, eax" or something else also having that byte inside it, not to mention constants and offsets. (If you work with x86 asm enough, you will start memorising opcodes...)
This gives a decent explanation:

Isn't the first part of your comment kind of contradictory to the second part?
Can you please elaborate a bit on the imposed constraints that nerf it?
I agree! Nice post!
Speaking for myself: the one specific thing I use every now and then in Mercurial is "hg serve" command. It allows me to serve up my changes to others in an ad-hoc way without needing to set up a repo in the usual places (Bitbucket, Github, etc.).

If one needs to set up a local repo hosting service for internal use in a .NET company, there's SCM Manager (http://www.scm-manager.org/), which is free, supports both Hg and Git, and (IMO) pretty easy to put up on a Windows server. I have not tried others that use purely Git, though, and I've never tried setting SCM Manager up on a Linux server.

Personally, I have no problem if the whole team decides to use Git instead of what we're using now (TFS), but most of them, if not all, avoid the CLI like a plague. Even with excellent GUI frontends like Git Extensions and SourceTree.
I very much like OnLine Taxes; have been a customer of theirs for four years now. My experiences with their customer service have been great (this matters most to me), and they're very cost efficient. You must be willing to put up with a somewhat antiquated UI (think circa-2007 PHP app).

Great points you're bringing! To be honest I'm always up for more options. Why not offer separation or the current solution for all users, although I think that it would be hell to manage two very different ideas.

As for the different modes per screen, why not? It would be nice to have a clean shortcut to say switch environment, but just for the active screen. Basically it would transfer the apps on that current screen from Desktop mode to Metro mode, so it is a workable solution.

As for the app imersion problem, that one is tricky since... well Metro apps are not specifically designed for a mouse and keyboard, it works, but it's not the best. So is the Metro environment. So my point of view is you're using an app not optimized for mouse and keyboards in an environment not optimized for mouse and keyboard... so by bringing Metro apps to a window environment, you're slashing half the problem.

The core idea is you have all your apps, files and stuff on your computer, now how do you want to interact with them. It may not be the most gracious idea, but it's better than trying to get the charms bar with your mouse or being stuck trying to resize windows with a touchscreen on the Desktop.

We use hg because bitbucket.org offered free private repos (no git back then) and it completely meets our needs.

I'm also not familiar enough with git to know what benefits it provides over mercurial.
I understand that, which is why it seems like the more appropriate vector for that sort of change would be via a patch, not an entirely new release of a game.

Hmm... so after looking at http://ref.x86asm.net/coder32.html apparently 0xC2 and 0xC3 are RET. On my 32bit Linux machine, the following code printed "Okay! c2 found @ 174" Is this code correct in any way??? I guess the fact that I'm assuming every byte is a whole instruction; not even accounting for the operands is already a problem. But am I even reading the bytes properly at all?

#include <stdio.h>

void rightmeow()
{
int q;
for(q = 0; q < 10 ; q++)
printf("It's new!\n");
return;
}

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
int i;
unsigned char bytecode;
for(i = 0; i < 9999 ; i++)
{
bytecode = (unsigned char)(**(rightmeow+i));//--- does this really work?
if (bytecode == 0xC2 || bytecode == 0xC3)
break;
}
if( i == 9999)
printf("No good.\n");
else
printf("Okay! %x found @ %d\n",bytecode,i);

return 0;
}

This comes up all the time on reddit. The NFL makes no profit. Do not confuse the statement of the "NFL makes no profit" with "the collection of teams that make up the NFL make no profit". They are not the same thing.

The NFL is paid by the teams to work for them negotiating with the NFLPA, TV contracts, etc. NFL employees are not tax exempt, and neither are the teams.
Yes, when Chris Hayes hosted "Up" it was a must watch each weekend for me. I watched about two episodes of his nightly show and couldn't stand it. Maybe we should try watching the new guy who took it over?

I guess it isn't about the competency of the host/crew but rather the fact that pushing out a show every night means that you must degrade the quality of your analysis, guests, and general information that you are reporting on.
Tut tut! You're forgetting that the earth is an oblate spheroid, and gravity exerts greater downward force at the poles, than near the equator.

We also need to know the precise latitude of the pool table!
It also won't work because <center> controls text alignment and will have no effect on the alignment of a div (it will center its contents, though) (also this isn't entirely true, centering text will also center divs in IE6 and earlier).
Ask HN: Should "delete" be renamed to "unlink" or "unreference"?
So, everyone here should be aware that deleting (or removing/rm'ing) a file merely deindexes it from the file system along with its metadata, but the raw data still resides in the blocks. Thus, trivial measures like these which do not involve overwriting or any drive damage/malfunction are easily recoverable through various methods.

Yet despite data recovery being a prolific field both as an enterprise and having widespread software dedicated to it, a lot of users are still unaware and believe that a Shift+Delete is game over.

My question is: will renaming "delete" to something more accurate like "unlink" or "unreference" shift user perception as to the underlying remanence of their data? Then, in addition, an operating system should provide a "shred" or "secure remove" option to go alongside.

While this may obviously be problematic for intelligence agencies who do not want everyone to have a modicum of decent security practices, will a name change like that have any feasible paradigm shift in the way users think about file deletion? That, and it is more pedantic.
Mercurial isn't the terrible DVCS that people left for greener git pastures; indeed it's the opposite: GitHub is why git won, and people are still learning how terrible git is and how awesome Mercurial is. They don't "still use" Mercurial, they "still use" git.

Mercurial has a great API. git has a terrible API. Mercurial is a joy to extend in Python. git is impossible to extend to any meaningful degree and is a terrible mess of Perl, shell script and C.

git is a hack and Mercurial is the future.
They do it anyway. I've been surprised by how many times the IRS have told me about mistakes...and then send me a check since I paid too much.
Personally, I don't understand why the IRS doesn't give me a way to electronically submit my taxes to them directly. I hate having to use a third party.
Yep, the world really is that simple - abolish government and things will get better. It's a shame so many people don't realize how easy it is to fix all of their problems.
Generally I agree that too many people have a fetish about avoiding tables when it's clearly the right tool for the job. But I've definitely been bitten by using them. Table layouts don't play well with other CSS properties.
The Wikipedia article explains the concept, but basically the initial business plan for Stack Exchange was to sell the software to companies / groups that wanted to run their own system versus the all in-house management we have today.

There's a service called "FreeFile" for federal taxes: http://www.irs.gov/uac/Free-File:-Do-Your-Federal-Taxes-for-...

States have their own programs (e.g. New York http://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/efile/pit_webfile.htm )
I've been using both Git and Hg for different projects and found with recent releases (2.6 onwards) mercurial getting quite fast. I think hg commands are more sane and exposes only what it's required by users. Also there isn't anything you can do with hg but can't do with git and vice versa, if you look closely. These are just the tools that must help you get going, so if you/co-workers are comfortable with git, there is no reason to switch to hg. (and from hg to git as well). They both have pros and cons so we will never find THE BEST dvcs. Don't bother too much (they both are super capable) rather focus on problems that need more attention.
They do. http://www.irs.gov/uac/Free-File:-Do-Your-Federal-Taxes-for-...
After IE6, we can just center a div using inline-block, can't we?

The outer element can have display: table-cell and the inner element would have vertical-align: middle and display: inline-block.

* It's useless without the right userland tools, which don't exist.

Ubuntu switched it on either because they have no clues, or because they wanted a checkbox to say "look, we have features no-one else does!!!!".
Right, with 3 balls you can't just do an impulse calculation like you can with 2 (too many unknowns, too few equations).

The author is simulating the collision as an event which happens gradually over an (admittedly short) period of time, using a differential equation, instead of something that happens all at once. That's why he has to talk about the elasticity model he's using, F ∝ (2-d)^1.5, and how the results vary when you change it.
The problem is not server-side but on the client. So as baby said, it won't be an issue if the next person doesn't have the same people to message.
I've been working on this form with php [1]. Only positioning I've tried so far is using tables. Focusing on functionality for now, figure I can just wait til it works to make it look pretty. Haven't really worked to understand CSS since I was in middle school in the late 90s.

There are a couple of genres that work really, really well with touchscreens. Unfortunately, they're not really in vogue right now.

That would be uncalled for, however. A user might knowingly delete (unlink) their files as a sort of temporary hiding measure against a dumb adversary without forensic knowledge (say, family members), before restoring them.

Having two distinct options is a more preferable method. Certain files can have different deletion flags in the trash.
The problem is that these are organisations, not sovereign states. It's a bit like saying that since the US has declared a war on drugs, it should be able to hold drug dealers forever without trial.

According to him, this guy went to Afganistan for a cheap medical procedure and bounty hunters handed him in as a foreign combatant. None of us knows whether this is true or not, but the issue is that suspending judicial procedure is going to lead to horrific injustice - even if you're at war.

And the Taliban would never swap a high value American hostage for anyone, particularly if it was someone they'd never heard of.
For me, the sustainable amount of productive time I can put in each day is much less than the number of waking hours I have. Sure - I'll readily admit that I'm below that limit most of the time. BUT - back when I didn't realize this concept, I'd read all these productivity blogs, track my time, and end up feeling tired and burned out within a week. A computer is the most "productive" use of my unproductive time.
