Hiding the Reply links might make sense if you can't stop yourself from commenting before reading, but hiding the comments themselves doesn't make sense. I find that HN (along with LWN) is one of the few sites with high-value comments, and I often want to read the first few to get context for the article.
The product is B2C, and focused on women (mostly). It's in the home cooking space, so they will probably be the early adopters.
That seems great! Is there some app implementing it correctly, on both mobile+PC? (Linux will do)
Agreed. Am I missing something here? Its google fonts. Big deal.
How do you figure? They have a free version that lets you publish for web, desktop, and mobile with some restrictions on available feature set.
Unless the download page is hacked and Google picks up a spoofed checksum.

They need to sign their updates as well.
We usually recommend to perform one query (one API call) per keystroke starting from the first one. The actual number of calls depends a lot on the use-case. Our ranking takes into account both relevance and popularity to suggest the best result first which greatly reduces the number of letters you need to type.
In use-cases where there is a very strong popularity indicator, like the number of followers for TV shows, we usually get the correct result at the first keystroke (b -> breaking bad, d -> dexter). At the other extreme, you may need to type several words.

That was always a question I had in the back of my mind. We have this huge address space. Why not reserve a single prefix that means "look at the lower 32-bits of this address and use it as an IPv4 address"?
Imagine some commercial product like a light switch using this. I connect the device to my WiFi network (using morse code to enter SSID and password I guess) The switch connects to SkyNet and gets assigned a UUID and token. How do I get that info so I can connect my new light switch to my Twitter or Facebook account?
The individual words may be comprehensible, but the sentence as a whole is very ambiguous and unclear. The most direct interpretation of it is contradictory, and beyond that it's pretty much nonsensical.

I don't think that anybody expects perfect English from people who may not have English as their first or primary language. That doesn't excuse sentences as broken and incomprehensible as the one in this case, however.

And it certainly is not "derogatory" in any way to point out writing that fails to convey whatever idea it was intended to. If anything, that's the best thing that can be done for the author. It's better for him or her to know that their writing has problems and cannot be understood properly, rather than not knowing this fact at all.
When I started to read this post I knew that someone would make this comment here. If they had used just about any other book that tries to teach drawing, then no one would say anything about the book they used.

Who cares what book they used. If it gets them interested in drawing, then that's all that matters. It's like bitching because someone got interested in music when they listened to the latest <insert top pop album of the time> and it sparked creativity in them.
Out of genuine curiosity, in what respects do you think Google is allowing Android to "stagnate"?
Absolutely disagree.

As discussed in the accepted answer, vertical line cursors predate the slanted shape.

What if I choose browse the web with Lynx (text-only browser, no JavaScript). Am I still denying people their income? What if I watch TV and go to the bathroom during commercial breaks, am I denying those people's income too?
Plenty on this list are well known but there are some nice ones that either I'd forgotten about or didn't know :

I'd add the following to the list : printf , bc

Also, "ddate" is fun. I had no idea and just spent an enjoyable 10 minutes looking it up.

Thanks for posting this.
I remember custom cursors from middle school, and having a friend with his cursor flipping the user the bird.
I have a very similar training regimen. I train twice a day. Morning and evening. What I do depends on how I feel and weather. It comes out to probably 14+ hours a week. I either do weights (squats, cleans, etc) or run or walk with a weighted vest (40 lbs at the moment) for 3 miles.

As long as I eat and sleep enough I feel awesome and have tons of energy and mentally I feel better. In fact, I felt better mentally and physically when I started doing 2 a day workouts.

Everyone thinks I'm insane and say it's not possible without drugs. At first it might make you feel a little drained, but you build up to it over time if you stick with it.

The human body is capable of amazing things. You don't have to treat it like a thin shelled egg when it comes to exercise.

EE.SO is very negative about "bad" questions, partly because it's small and can be run for the convenience of the dozen or so people who answer half the questions. I don't entirely approve but I see their point.

Did a quick comparison with my own service, BitBalloon.

On appengine you're just deploying a dynamic app that just routes everything to a static folder, but since Google doesn't know this is a static site, it's pretty limited what they can do to set good cache headers and optimize stuff for performance. So even if they have an awesome infrastructure, BitBalloon will make your site perform better.

Here's the quick test result from the same site uploaded to AppEngine and BitBalloon:

Ways to avoid using the word 'very'
Buğra talks about looking at directors and actors next.

I'd really like to see whether directors or writers have a bigger impact on quality of films. Like a smallish number of critics, including Pauline Kael, I'm deeply suspicious of the auteur theory that everyone kind of unquestioningly accepts.

“A filmgoer seeking out pictures written by, say, Eric Roth or Charlie Kaufman won’t always see a masterpiece, but he’ll see fewer clunkers than he would following even a brilliant director like John Boorman, or an intelligent actor like Jeff Goldblum. It’s all a matter of betting on the fastest horse, instead of the most highly touted or the prettiest.” - David Kipen

One nice thing with Django is that you can separate out truly static files into your apps static folder, and configure nginx to serve the /static/ URL. Configure a `STATIC_ROOT` for your app, run:

./manage.py collectstatic

and you have nginx serving the truly static files while still allowing Django to manage your non-static assets.

This is how I run my site, and it works pretty darned well. Let nginx do the caching of static files, compression, and SSL management, letting Django just worry about its small domain of non-static files.

The one downside is that nginx will not necessairly detect when a static file has changed, requiring a bit of effort to ensure that new versions of a static file are puled, either through filename versioning, or `?1` on the end of your static URLs.
Just because you find a passion, doesn't mean you have to spend money on it. There are an insane amount of free learning resources online (in tech/dev, which I'm assuming what your pro background is). Similarly, I'm seeing an increasing number of bootstrapped startups (they just don't make as much noise as the funded ones).

My twenties were about realizing and coming to terms with the fact that there are people who are smarter, more clever, and more knowledgeable than me. My thirties are about figuring out how to work with these people as much as possible. I do feel that I'm late to the game on this. If I got over my ego earlier and/or had a more collaborative mindset I'd be in a better spot.

Keep looking for that passion. But don't do it alone. Once you find it, it'll be with a group of people "better" than you to help you figure out what to do with it. :)

Thanks - yes we've had a couple of rounds of funding. VC mainly and DECC as well. First £35K was through competition wins and business link (before that disappeared).

It was very difficult to garner interest from investors pre-revenue. The hardest thing for a hardware start up is explaining the enormous working capital requirement that exists thanks to payment terms and delivery times. We launched the product and first 1,000 units on about £150k (not all in one go) over 2.5 years including tooling etc.

It's getting easier now as we can start to sell the vision but people are still terrified of hardware.
It's always tricky looking back and trying to work out why some piece of culture developed. The inevitable self congratulatory nationalism and the counteractions makes it even harder.

That said, Israel has (1) a highly concentrated educated, urban population. (2) A large number of people who spend 3-10 years in military tech early on. No long established industries (the country has only existed for 2 generations). (3) A very recent history of young "entrepreneurship," if you extend the definition to include all of the "ideological" settlements ranging from leftist Kibbutzes (communes) to nationalist settlements in the West Bank to religious settlements you will find a lot of exposure to entrepreneurial endevours. Everything in the country was "established" by some form of entrepreneurship within living memory. (4) Solid R&D culture (5) Difficult trade relations making ethereal goods a more attractive option.

Construct your own narrative.

Personally, I credit the (Socialist/Marxist) settlement culture of the 20s-60s. It feels like an analogy to the US' 'go west' initiatives, homesteading and the various mining booms and such. I think that kind of thing breeds entrepreneurship into a culture.

*Israel is not Europe. There is European influence, but most of it is eastern European and it's mixed with Arab/Middle Eastern and lots of other things.
It depends on if the sites you post on have the traffic you want. Posting on HN is great if you are looking for feedback from a hacker perspective (so your product should have some utility to them). Obviously, just posting everywhere will get you clicks, but the important part is that the people clicking might actually want to use it. If you do that well, and you have a high bounce rate, I'd actually say that you got valuable feedback about how useful your product actually is.
One feature I really like is "Pairings" which gives you a list of fonts that looks good with the one you selected so you can easily find headline and body combinations.

To use this feature choose a font and click on the little 'pop out' icon (that looks like one square on top of another) and then click "Pairings". Here's an example: https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Lobster#pairings
I prefer using the comments/discussion themselves as an indicator to whether I'll find the article a worthwhile read in the first place - how often do users actually comment/discuss an article without reading it beforehand? What's the point in that?

None of the posts have forward links to the others, only backward links. Part 4 has links to parts 0 - 3, but if you start with part 0 there is no easy way to get to the others, or any indication of how many there are.

It's probably not a good idea to underestimate the depth of the deliberations that actually took place at the time, based on a necessarily pragmatic justification for the accepted decision.

ZRTP actually, XMPP is used only to set up the calls (using Jingle) and for ICE discovery.
Depends what they're doing; a typical home router isn't usually CPU-bound AFAIK. IPv6 packets can be larger, but conversely that means fewer packets for the same amount of data. Organizations that embrace IPv6 can probably simplify their networking by using globally-routable addresses for all devices (coupled with appropriate security measures - NAT qua NAT was never a security feature but it did give you an obvious single point at which to place a firewall). But I fear many companies will simply reproduce the complexities of their existing IPv4 networks in IPv6, at least initially.
There are, there's a prefix that maps to IPv4 addresses.

> - if there's a 6 and 8 next to each other, the third field is always a 2 or 12

At least in the version of the game that I own, if you follow the prescribed setup rules, there can never be an adjacent 6 and 8. The terrain tiles are randomized, but the placement of the numbers on the tiles is deterministic, and results in a spatially uniform distribution of the high-yield numbers.

This God-like behaviour makes me cringe.
This type of bans and restrictions exist as a result of poorly managed and/or poorly designed system. Ideally any moderation should be part of the ecosystem and the decision making should belong to the users. If they want more flappy things who are you to say "No! You can't!"?

Edited to add: Their control should be exercised over precise things like "user interface guidelines" or "use of private vs public APIs", not the type of app or the name of the app. The app stores contain gazillions of ToDo apps. Just because there a few successful ones should we say "No" to ToDo apps?
I prefer the inverse. Reading the comments from an educated audience first, then diving into the article with a more firm understanding of the landscape.
Ask HN: Would you use a Django package that models the AWS console?
We have internally developed a django package for spinning up and down EC2 instances, autoscale groups, scaling policies, ELB's, RDS instances, IAM Users/Groups/Roles and policies, security groups and rules, VPC's, subnets, and more.

It shares similarities with Netflix's Asgard, but is written in python using django and is easily extensible for developers familiar with python, as opposed to groovy/grails. We use the Boto package for interacting with AWS, and the models have a .sync() function for pushing locally modeled infrastructure changes into AWS.

Would you be interested in seeing this open sourced? Would you use it?

Happiness Hack – Remember what happened good today
I wasn't even talking about BSD. I was talking about the FSF's propensity to throw around words like "evil" when discussing non-open-source software.

The whole BSD thing is a misunderstanding by you and a guy upthread. I never stated anything about BSD's superiority, only that it is an objectively more open license. GPL has objectively more restrictions and de facto associates you with a group that many don't want to be seen as part of.
I am curious. Which other criterion than IP address could they use to prevent anonymous users from Qatar from vandalizing?

(I guess one method could be to force everyone from this IP address to create an account, but that goes against their openness/ease-of-editing-for-new-or-casual-users principle.)
I agree. The order I use: read the comments, read the article, and THEN post a comment if I have something to add.

I can assure you the US is feeling the brunt of the IPv4 crunch. I'm building something that needs massive amounts of public address space and I simply can't get IPv4 addresses for it. I've asked multiple providers. You are LUCKY if you can get a /28 at this point. Hoarding. Rolling with IPv6 instead.

I get you have an interest in the Qatar/Wikipedia situation, but it seems to be unlikely due to IP address resource management issues. Probably more like tyrannical control, if anything.
Not to be dismissive, but there are a lot of claims in this article that are difficult to assess.
He might be a C# developer. There is quite a quality difference between languages.
that's the economic way of thinking. the engineering way would be to fix the artificial scarcity by implementing a technically superior solution.
Oh, I’ve just realized another difference. The model, as I refer to it is different from that in MVC. In MVC the model is usually a representation of database tables or "an interface defining the data to be displayed or otherwise acted upon in the user interface" (WikiP). For me it is the bit that preforms whatever work the user requested. So it’s pretty misleading of me to call it the model really because I’m not really all that concerned with modelling anything, I shall refer to it as the action layer from now on, I think
I found this article rather superficial. It touched on a few (very few) points of comparison and ignored a huge number of factors affecting entrepreneurship in Europe.

Rather than waste time expanding on that though, I have a question. In this statement " If we truly believe the next global superstar in tech will hail from Europe, why would we only fund them at one-fifth the amount of their future US competitors?" Who the hell is "we"?

Of course, this question begs the question of whether "we" believe any such thing, because no such idea follows at all from the preceding disquisition. We have several arguments, weak arguments, trying to prop up the idea of a healthy startup ecosystem, and then suddenly we are defining success by the measure of outliers.

But in any event, who is we? The would-be pundits? The startup people in Europe? VC's? The people who give VC's money? Only the last two have any real say in where the money is invested, the VC's much more than the funders.

Do VC's generally believe this? If not, why? Is the claim that they are benighted and too envious. I would find that surprising, given that all the San Hill people I know are hyper-capitalists, to put it mildly, and crunch numbers as readily as most people blink on a windy day.

It's commonplace for VC's to get article and interviews published, given that half of their job is self-marketing, but to be blunt, the attempt to sound like a pundit/prophet is usually much better than this.

The manufactured controversy that Europe and America are traditionally at the top of global maps is rather silly.
