I wish software companies would stop trying to play moral police like this. It's so entirely subjective, and as you mentioned, moral standards vary wildly.

But whatever. I'm sure this is going to keep kids from seeing "graphic" material, right? None of us ever went around our parents to see something we shouldn't have...

Amazon's S3, which presumably has scale advantages over put.io, charges $80/TB/month just for storage. put.io charges only 60% of that with data transfer included. Based on that, I doubt your wishes will come true any time soon.
Yes but then you're stuck with a KV data and query model. It still being an SQL database is kind of besides the point since you're not using it as a relational database.
In many cases I feel that Congress doing nothing is the better option. Unfortunately, when Congress acts they tend to make things worse. So a Congress that does nothing is probably about average in terms of effectiveness for me.
No. A read-after-write hazard has not stalled a cpu in the last 10 years. So the article will mislead all the beginner architects out there. A clear explanation of dependencies would be much more appropriate.

I'm not sure about funding from VC's and Angels, but you could license the source under the GPL license.

In addition, look at this[0] discussion about open source software on the Mac App Store.

And, for what it's worth, there used to be an app called DocSets which was on the iOS app store and open source on GitHub[1]. I believe it sold rather well.

It really depends on your definition of sexism, which is an ambiguous term.

Suppose it were true that given a woman and man with the same resume, the woman tended to perform worse. It would them be rational to assume that, given two otherwise identical resumes, the one with the female name represented a worse candidate. To act on this information is statistical discrimination. I highly recommend you read the article.

Symfony, Laravel, they all are done the same way. But in practice, people create libraries specific to these frameworks, and that's where the issue lies. Less code reuse, more reinventing the wheel, more security issues as there are fewer canonical implementations and more scattered libs that may be ported to your framework of choice, but probably won't be...

We can fix this, though. The best part is, the skills learnt and code written while doing so are completely transferable and directly usable by the big frameworks too! So, it's a win-win :)

For what it's worth though, yeah I totally agree with you. It's not an either-or situation.

That prudish stereotype is a bit over-blown by a smaller (but louder) subset of Americans that really are prudish.

I'm in the "bible belt" (southeast US), and even here there's plenty of people who don't get too up in arms about this kind of stuff.

The internet has been the great equalizer for the younger generations. Smut, graphic video, violence, and all sorts of other things are only a keystroke away.

Close your eyes.
What we could use is a secure cloud like freenet, which:

1) Converts and transcodes files on the client

2) Encrypts them on the client, has diffs and versioning with git

3) Stores encrypted versions in a distributed manner on many servers

4) Uses bitcoins to pay for all the bandwidth, storage

5) Is an autonomous corporation that can't be shut down

blabla

Maybe in a few years this will exist.
Being on OS X, I have moved to 1Password. I'm, to this day, a dedicated proponent of Keepass. Anyone, asking me to suggest a Password Manager - my first answer is Keepass (Windows or Linux). Even for OS X, if one cannot afford 1Password yet or do not want to buy it just yet, Keepass is the one.

* Spend some time learning the Keyboard shortcuts and you're all set.

* Keep the Keepass File on Dropbox, so it's sync across your machines and is backed up.

* Sharing common credentials with a team - server login details, team site details etc - have a common Keepass File on Dropbox and share it with your team. Suggestion is to open it as "read-only" unless you're adding new entries.

* You can also have an additional layer of security by using an additional (optional) Key Locker File (besides the main password) to lock Keepass. You can have that on a thumb-drive or some place you know.

* One thing I really wish 1Password has what Keepass has is the auto-generation a password when you enter a new entry. One can set parameters of what password is generated. I have click to get that in 1Password.

P.S. If I remember correctly, Keepass even has a portable version.
The high-temperature ones were probably Yttrium-Barium-Copper-Oxides (YBCO) I've seen this demo done with them. The magnet's motion is almost undetectable, they appear suspended in the copper pipe until they start to warm up.
1Password is another good option, but it will cost you a bunch.
hah damn :( My bad, apologies! I skimmed over the project and saw that it seemed similar so thought i'd throw that up there for people interested in it!
I always get a little sad when off-planet progress is pitched as being about commercial opportunity. I think we have a lot to gain by focusing on people-oriented reasoning instead.
Keepass proper has a global Ctrl+Alt+A shortcut that automatically types in your username and password into the form: I've found it works fine on the majority of sites (almost everyone uses username-tab-password-enter, but for the few that don't, you can specify a custom auto type format in keepass. It even has an option to obfuscate the typing to trick keyloggers).

For android, I recommend Keypass2Android: it comes with a custom keyboard you can enable temporarily, which inputs your password without going through the android clipboard. I use it with the dropbox app as well, I'm not sure why it's not working for you.
Even cooler I think if you need a lot of file uploads (and potentially organized into their own folders) is letting your customer connect to a WebDAV interface with their system file browser, then they can just drag and drop whatever. (https://code.google.com/r/1meref-sabredav-amazons3/)
> Pornography is awful stuff. It exploits the way our minds work, and ruins peace and happiness.

Is it OK for you to tell someone else what they are allowed to watch? That's the sticking point, and what is being done by Google (and so many others). You may not like porn, but there are a massive number that are OK with it. Is it right for you to impose your morals on others?

Definitely don't take this as inflammatory, but I personally (as an American) don't want my morals and beliefs forced on others. I think a lot of problems could be solved if everyone gave this a shot. Different strokes, etc.
S3 is one of the most expensive ways to store and transfer stuff though. Not to say the original poster could find that pricing, but if S3 is your benchmark you can save a lot of money.
And yet, if I were to meet someone who was a few months into a new js web app, I could probably guess which framework they were using with 5 guesses or less 95% of the time. Also, I would bet that all 5 of the top frameworks will be reasonably supported for the next 5 years. As for the many frameworks that make up the last 5% of usage and have shakier futures, I doubt many new devs are actually using them.

It is always a red flag for me when someone starts arguing for less choice, more monolithic frameworks, and the inevitable lock in that comes along with having only one or two options.

s/our minds/my own mind/

Unless you plan to cite some peer-reviewed research on that, you should probably not generalize to me and everyone else. If you find that porn is bad for you, by all means avoid it. But don't pretend that you know it's bad for other people too.

Ask HN: Is desalination the solution to California's drought disaster?
I've seen arguments for solar powered desalination. I've seen other good arguments that desalination couldn't possible solve such a large problem (too expensive, not enough output, etc). The drought in CA appears as though it could be truly catastrophic if it continues. Can Silicon Valley help contribute to innovating California out of a disaster on water? Are any VC firms funding solutions? Very curious what HN thinks on this.

The problem with the youtube link however is that any video with 'magnet' in the title brings you uncomfortably close to thousands of youtube nutters posting about perpetual motion machines.
You should take into account humidity, seeing as the best humidity level at say 80ºF or even 70ºF is very much more pleasant than the worst.

Also, IMO your minimum temperature criterion is probably a mistake. Nobody cares that it's a little chilly at 4am, and meanwhile you're selecting for more humid climates (because those have less diurnal variation).

If you wanted to make the selection criteria user-adjustable, though, I'd be really interested to see the results. (Also, nice job on the visualization, discretizing every grid square to a town is particularly cute.)
To me, the real interesting part of this story is that Mac OS X trails Windows Vista in market share.

We're Hiring at Prismatic (getprismatic.com)

The office is located in SOMA in San Francisco.

Frontend Engineer at Prismatic: iOS, Web, and Android.
http://boards.greenhouse.io/prismatic/jobs/5971

Strong CS basics in data structures and algorithms. Strong engineering;
thoughtful design and clean code. Graphics, browser, games, or animation
experience a big plus.

A front-end engineer that has a strong computer science background, but wants
to focus on product engineering rather than backend systems. You don’t want to
just take off the shelf UI components, but want to explore new interactions.
You aren’t afraid to dig under the hood of iOS frameworks or browser code in
order to make an animation or interaction feel natural and smooth.

Backend Engineer at Prismatic:
http://boards.greenhouse.io/prismatic/jobs/5976

Prismatic is a great place to be a backend engineer - we analyze millions of
shared web pages every day, automatically classify them into tens of thousands
of topics, and serve up personalized feeds in real-time using our homegrown,
lightning fast, machine learning-based relevance engine. We are looking to
grow our top-notch team, with both junior and senior-level positions available.

We are looking for engineers with deep interest and knowledge in at least one
area core to our business (i.e., distributed systems, ops and tooling, machine
learning, designing and building new product features). We’re a small team, so
you will have the opportunity to have a lot of impact, and to learn from peers
who are extremely talented engineers, computer scientists, and data experts.
Our backend is written entirely in Clojure, a JVM-based LISP that is a dream to
work in. Almost none of us knew it before we joined, and we don’t expect you to
either. We do, however, expect the following:

- You live and die by good abstractions. You know that they can make the difference between easily understandable and maintainable code, and a spaghetti mess.
- You think about edge cases and performance implications, and anticipate future needs.
- You read and understand existing code before diving in and adding your own. You re-use existing code whenever possible, cleaning it up as needed to be more generally useful.
- You know when to do it fast, when to do it right, and how to find the best compromise between the two.
- You recognize that we are all stewards of the codebase, not owners. You leave code better than you found it, and you fix bugs without grumbling about whose they are.
- You are a team player who enjoys discussing ideas and implementations with other engineers.

Here’s a small sampling of the things you will be working on as a member of the Prismatic backend team:

- Making our crawlers and document analysis better and more comprehensive
- Building out new product features in our API
- Solving tough systems problems to help us scale reliably and robustly
- Building and improving Machine Learning systems for ranking, document analysis, and more
- Creating tools to assist development and ops
- Shipping some of the best open-source Clojure libraries out there, and working with the community to make them better

It's especially strange on platforms that provide a full web browser. Apple won't let you sell a porn app on the App Store, but nothing stops you from using Safari to look at all the porn in the world.

Chromecast lets you display arbitrary browser tabs, right? If so, same thing here.

It seems that it's not so much trying to play moral police as just not wanting to be to blame. People know that a web browser is just a conduit and that the device maker isn't responsible for what you browse. People don't have the same attitude toward apps, even though there's nothing fundamentally different.
Cloud computing and time sharing are not the same thing, though. Time sharing was just a way for multiple people to access the same computer at the same time. In cloud computing, people aren't accessing a particular computer as far as they're concerned; they're accessing a service that's out there somewhere, and they might even have two consecutive requests handled by computers in different data centers.
I've had this experience with 2.x and as I recall, on machine B where the file was already open with unsaved changes, I was prompted to merge changes after Dropbox updated the file on disk. Without recalling the details, I was pretty impressed.
I highly recommend reading that to anyone as an introduction to why free software and free content are extremely important. Not to mention reverse engineering tools like debuggers.

There's little fun in inheriting a stock market (+30% in 2013) and real estate market (+13% in 2013) at all time highs. My only curiosity is whether Bernanke will escape blame for the bubbles he created. Greenspan too was considered a hero the day he handed over the reins of the Fed in Feb 2006.
> The distinctly American prudishness regarding sex is almost a mirror image of large parts of the world with respect to cinematic violence.

Don't American blockbusters, chock full of graphic violence, do quite well overseas in general? That seems to imply that the attitude towards cinematic violence is not the same at all.
Funny you say that about photographers. I learnt from trial and error, and after a few years was taking some photos that I'm still proud of today. Then, a few years ago I decided to learn the concepts and apply them to what I'd already learnt, and now I feel I'm even better. My best photos now are as good as (or a bit better) my older best photos, but I can capture them more consistently. It's really fun.

As an aside, the best thing I did was force myself to use a 1963 Minolta rangefinder, with one film type and speed only, for an entire year. Manual everything. This allowed me to really learn those concepts properly, but it was still steeped in trial and error; reading the concepts, then coming up with them afterwards from first principles is easily the best way for myself to learn a topic :)
I just visit put.io from my iPhone or iPad and from there I stream the video and send it to the Apple TV via Airplay. There's also a couple of free 3rd party native iOS apps that let you connect to your put.io account, and stream the videos, but they're not really necessary. Never had much luck with AirPlay mirroring with my Macbook Air, it's always laggy in my experience.

So yeah, you do need either an iPad or iPhone to do it, however Put.io has a Roku app if you have one of these.
But you are rewarding those using DRM and going against their intentions. And by spending that money and your time/attention on those, have taken it away from the alternatives that are in your interests and what you want to reward. Yes the alternatives may be worse right now, but they will get better quicker with your money and attention.

I'm afraid I don't have much input on your questions since I'm not there yet.

Since it appears you've had quite some success getting leads I'd like to ask you a few questions regarding your last HN post:

1) Did ariba work out for you ? If not how did you get the opportunity to bid on large company RFP's ?

2) What did you have to do to demonstrate that you were a credible supplier for these clients ? You mentioned having done work as a subcontractor. How were you able to valorize that work as representative of your own capabilities ? Were these publicly visible projects, even if your name wasn't on them ?

3) Did you have to jump through a lot of administrative hoops to be considered - ie. DUNS, business insurance requirements, etc. ?
If you use Plex (and you really should:)

https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect

PlexConnect is a simple DNS server that rewrites requests to trailers.apple.com to your local machine (where a daemon is running that responds to requests from your Apple TV.) It then takes the place of the "Trailers" app, and requires only that you change your AppleTV DNS server config to your own machine, and that you install their SSL certificate in your AppleTV's certificate store.

You can edit your AppleTV's certificate store with an Apple-developed program called Apple Configurator (in the OSX App Store for free) so at least it doesn't requires anything like jailbreaking.

Developing a mobile phone app that can determine your blood pressure simply by placing your your fingertip on the phone's camera.

Why is it cool? Currently 65 million Americans have high blood pressure, more than 380,000 die each year primarily due to high blood pressure, and it costs over 45 billion dollars in direct medical costs. Of even greater concern is that over 45% of those with hypertension do not have it under control. [1,2]

This app will provide instant and ubiquitous information about their blood pressure to everyday citizens without the need for (as many) visits to the doctor, or the purchasing of expensive medical equipment. It will empower the people to take greater control of their own health, and offers the potential to greatly reduce the burden on an already-overstretched healthcare system.

As it is based purely on the phone's video camera, it will be the first time people can use their mobile phone to measure their blood pressure in the convenience of their own home, at a time that suits them, without the need for connecting your phone to additional proprietary specialist hardware.

You've added another dependency into the mix here.

I've been comfortable storing my database in Dropbox, with a decent length master password (15char+) on the assumption that it uses a high quality hash that would make bruteforcing the encryption impractical, without having to add another layer of encryption above it.
