There are exogenous factors too. North Dakota will be rich due to oil even with incredibly corrupt and inefficient local governments.
Yes. Pretty much this.

The Mexican government is fine with everyone hating them, as long as people limit themselves to clicking the "like" button on facebook, or ranting about something, but as soon as there's the risk of people actually doing something, they start moving.
That's a reason for a project like this to be open source.

Yahoo runs many services that have traffic that most start-ups here would die for. Number one finance site,number one news site, huge fantasy sports, Flickr, Delicious, significant search traffic. People on HN tend to dismiss them but we are indeed talking one of the most trafficked websites on Earth. I would say there is more value having a Yahoo ID than most other sites due to how much they offer.
It is not insuring the value of bitcoins, but the operation of the company. Regardless of the legitimacy of bitcoins or their value, the company is providing a service and it can be insured against lawsuits for its own mistakes. In 2011 the potential losses for its mistakes were much lower.
Ask HN: Can you do 2 different YC applications in one batch?
We have two tempting ideas. One is in private beta, for the other one we have a working MVP. While we worked on idea 1 for quite some time and is more high-tech, idea 2 might have a higher paying customer base (not tested yet). Is it advisable to apply with both startups for YC?
No not mailpile. It was an actual email service. Maybe inv... something.
This seems reasonable to me? Why is this a newsworthy item?
I did an O-1 visa through my startup. Incorporate the startup first, then start the visa process it's quicker. You need a selection of press, articles/proof of your expertise as well as 12-18 letters of recommendation from well-known and respected people in your field

Not a lawyer, but I had the same visa and this is my understanding:

Once she has "demonstrated immigrant intent" (i.e. applied for a green card) she can remain in the US with no problem, but if she leaves and tries to re-enter on her F1 visa she can be denied entry. Because it is a strictly non-immigrant visa, if they think you intend to immigrate you can be turned back at the border.

However if she gets Advance Parole (which is part of the green card process) before leaving the US she can use that to re-enter if necessary.

She should talk to her school's international office and if necessary a lawyer if she has any questions.

I have 10 fingers, so that is definitely not "countless" hours of work. And No, Maintenance are minimal or non existent. You could even get smaller VPS behind each node balancer as HA. Since Linode VPS ( Unlike DO ) are deployed on physically different hardware.

While i say it is fair enough to use AWS because money doesn't matter, i thought there are definitely some better alternative for the same price( if you really cared about latency ) or cheaper options.
that's listed now anyway
Your algorithm for calculating final score seems flawed. For example, if I give location as best rating but pay sucks, the company's rating is still pretty good. In reality, pay matters much more than location. You should adopt overall happiness as the final score and leave everything else as details instead of doing average or weighted average of individual score. Also other questions you might want to include:

* Do you think, on average, you work with smart people in your area?

* Would you recommend this company to your friends?

* How do you feel about management/politics/agility?

PS: I like the idea of using Linked-In profile. Nice.

This is without-a-doubt, the most useful and coolest thing I've seen hit the Hacker News homepage this year. Seriously, this is amazing. It works really well and is easy to use as well, you could be onto something here. It's seeing people create things like this that motivate me more than any, "Why you should switch to Google Go" article ever could.
It's alright, Yahoo audience probably haven't heard of Facebook yet anyway. </sarcasm>

In all seriousness though, this is a good thing. FB login has become so prevalent, that not having it hurts more than it helps. At the same time, they used to change APIs so often, that keeping it working was a royal pain.

Although it's much easier to implement these days, especially with services like http://hull.io, it's yet another part of one's site/app to worry about.

I can't remember my Yahoo login, I may have had one a decade ago. I don't really buy their excuse that removing social login helps in any way. As a developer, with social login, I have a username to link everything to just as much as normal server login. You can still have user records in your DB keyed on that, a settings page on your site that stores settings against that user, whatever you need. So how does removing social login improve personalization? I don't think it does. Just sounds like an excuse.
Someone once said, the pen is mightier than the sword. What does that then make a link worth? A nuclear warhead?

I too feel this way.
The actual list of content is incredibly disappointing. I wouldn't quite call this a non-event, but the material in this collection is less impressive than the announcement made me think at first.

What I see listed in the PDF generally falls into a few categories:

1. HR crap. Office plans, employee lists, various internal forms and memos. Of very little interest to anyone, unless there's something incredibly surprising hidden in there. (Probably not.)

2. Financial data. Interesting if you care about the finances of a software company from the 80s, incredibly boring otherwise.

3. Publicity documents. Product booklets, posters, newsletters, etc. These were given out all over the place, so it's not like these are things that have never been seen before.

4. A few folders of design papers. This is the potentially interesting part, but there's not a lot of them and they aren't described in any detail. Hopefully these are good.

5. Some very old disks which may or may not still be readable. This part just makes me kind of angry. These are almost certainly 5.25" disks, and as such they are nearing the end of their lifetime. If they haven't been stored well, they're likely already toast. Someone needs to get into this archive and copy these to more durable media NOW.
You may be up to something really cool. Don't give up. @joshmlewis made a good list of things you should review.

Good Luck

> The author of this article uses pass [1] for password management. I'm the author of pass, if anyone here has any questions.

Ah! I installed pass a few days ago! I was wondering why you decided to use gpg to encrypt instead of mcrypt (which would be "easier" to set up for the casual end-user since he'd only need a password and not a keys) ?

I also wished you could post your cgit.conf because I remember having troubles achieving something with mine but now I can't remember what. Well.

Same question as above, where do interns apply and are the position restricted to only US citizens?
Here are some questions raised by this case:

(1) The circumstances under which hyperlinking to material posted and hosted by others is, or should be, a crime.

(2) If it is a crime, whether the proposed sentence is proportional to the alleged offense.

(3) Whether the prosecutor is trying to exert pressure for a plea bargain. E.g., if they offer him 100 days in jail if he pleads guilty, or 100 years in jail if he's convicted, it would make sense to plead guilty from a pure risk management perspective, even if he has an enormously strong case.

(4) If this length of sentence for this behavior is authorized by statute, whether the statute falls foul of the Constitution's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment.

(5) Whether the First Amendment protects hyperlinks to unprotected speech.

Scroll down to "Why Would I Use This On My App".
Streamline appears to be significantly cheaper if you're going to properly follow the license terms of 1 project/license that Iconic lays out. Though as I look at streamline's license terms they too seem kinda restrictive: I can't use more than 100 icons/project, not that I would (how many icons can a single app have after all) it's just such a strange constraint.

Just wondering, how do they know if you're using more than the requisite number of icons, or if (in Iconic's case) you use them for more than one project on a single license? I doubt Iconic (which from what I understand is just a three person company) has the resources or time to chase after these types of violations. Not to mention the original kickstarter had no such restrictions. So all they're doing is making theoretical criminals out of poor designers, or worse: loosing potential customers who can't afford to buy a new license for each project. In stream line's case it's even more bizarre; are they really going to go around counting the number of icons you use in your project? How do they even track if you're using a single icon?
Well, because when you want to get stuff done you really don't want to invent the wheel again. Why not reuse the work someone else has done before?

This is not to say that understanding web at a low level isn't useful, it certainly is. However, in my opinion it is better to for example build a simple mvc framework as learning experience and use something battle tested in production.

Very nice... We surveyed a hundred or so corporate types to settle on our 7 factors... but we do want to experiment with new questions.

We also envision a responsive algorithm based on a variety of variables (i.e., questions skipped or ignored repeatedly).
if they offer him 100 days in jail if he pleads guilty, or 100 years in jail if he's convicted, it would make sense to plead guilty from a pure risk management perspective, even if he has an enormously strong case.

I'm not so sure about that. Imagine the terrible precedent you'd set. EDIT: Risk aversion is sometimes toxic to society.

You can add coins to a paper wallet many times.

What is considered risky is spending only a fraction of the paper wallet, for the following reasons:

- you just used the private key for creating a transaction, so the chances of it being compromised increases

- the client you used might have sent the change to another address while you're thinking the remaining coins are still in the paper wallet

But if it's done well, yes, it's possible to spend a fraction of a paper wallet.

The truth is that most places in the US have multiple layers of local and state levels of bureaucracy that make it extremely difficult for anyone who has not paid the "franchise fees" to string fiber. Even wireless is difficult since you need fiber to cell sites and all the same hurdles make it ridiculously expensive to get fiber to the towers. This is a problem that it almost impossible to solve on a large level since it is all controlled by municipalities and state puc's. This is why most people will never see GF or similar cheap Broadband in this country for a long time if ever.

And that's just the thing. When cops pull you over and point a gun at you, telling you to get out of the car, do you get out of the car or not? Even if you don't have to get out of the car, you won't take that risk with your own life.

Same with cops asking for anything else at gunpoint etc.
A link can't contain credit card numbers or CVVs on its own. It's just a pointer to where the data resides. It's entirely possible that Brown didn't know what he was disseminating. One has to download and open the file to find out. The government is expecting us to know what's in a link before we share it, which is an unreasonable burden. And they're equating transmitting the link with possessing the underlying information. Moreover they haven't shown any illicit transactions resulting from it being shared.

How can reporters verify sources or security researchers examine data dumps without fear of being prosecuted now?

This is a chilling attack on digital rights and needs to be stopped. I hope the judge listens. Stratfor was sued because they failed to sufficiently protect their systems and rightfully so. The actual hacker Jeremy Hammond got less time than this guy faces.
best for YC staff to respond, but i would think yes - since YC gives a greater weightage to the quality of the founding team, than specific ideas.
but then looking at it from another angle, wouldn't it send a message that you have a problem in staying disciplined and focused which is critically important to build a solid company?

in conclusion, my recommendation is to choose one among the two ideas - and then use the second as reference work to demonstrate your entrepreneurial prowess.

Before your edit, you wrote about risk aversion and how it's toxic for a society.

I disagree, mainly because this case is an asymmetric risk scenario - his gains from pleading not guilty are extremely miniscule when compared to his losses(compared to the 100 days he'd have to spend in jail, if he were to plead guilty).

Unless oNe of you is coming to the project having done a significant amount of work (product development or research) then I'd just go with 50/50. Just do it. If you agonise about 10% or so either way, it'll just be a bone of contention and one of you will resent the other. Assuming you're both going to be doing the same amount of work (I.e. You're both full time), it's difficult to argue that you should come up with some more fine grained split.
Okay, so I'm not a conservative(I saw the newswatch comments) but I am definitely suspicious when I see the suicide of successful people. Is it too extreme to begin correlating? Am I crazy, have I listened to too much RATM? This is the first account I've ever made on HN- I'm saying this to convey my gravitas- I'm usually a lurker. I have an immense amount of respect for the people who voice their opinions here. I am not attempting to troll. But I see people like Aaron Schwartz, people who held key positions in finance(http://business.financialpost.com/2014/02/18/jpmorgan-banker...), Shane Todd (http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/3563156/) ...it just makes me wonder. The last article suspects the Chinese(all except for Schwartz were in the same country!) And then some point to Zionists, or some kind of American petrodollar oligarchy...I'm not attempting any unified theory here, but I do sense a trend. Maybe it's just a trend in assassination style- with the level of transparency afforded by nonstop media, the only way to kill your enemy (something that in past times was probably regarded as a regrettable necessity and something the public was to deliberately ignore for their own safety)- is to 'suicide' them???? Or is it that depression is becoming so pervasive that even successful people are opting out of life? Does Singapore just make someone that tense?
If this is not bullshit, I don't know what is!
Salary transparency is a good value. I think managers that are uncomfortable with other people knowing their wages, are uncomfortable because the people that know they do nothing, now know they are overpaid as well.
