I'm developing a new service (Bitcoin related). At first I was considering BTC donations being the only form of income, but I've noticed every time I look up a BTC donation address there's little to no money transferred to it, even for popular websites. I think I'm going to use a percentage of each transaction as payment instead...
I think instead I will ask myself whether I give a shit how a judge rules on enforcing laws I think are insane.
That makes perfect sense. I guess when I imagine a realtionship I assume the couple is smart enough to know that discipline etc is outside the bounds of their relationship, eg, the senior partner won't help the junior partner because they know it will ultimately fuck up both the the company and the relationship.

Thinking about it, assuming everyone knows that is naive. Point conceded.
Not to mention that LittleMachineShop sells complete proven CNC rigs for about the same price with no risk, and which are obviously much more rigid as well.

Nintendo recently remade The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for the Wii U, upgrading models and textures, and improving the lighting model in a bunch of ways.

Personally, I felt there was nothing wrong with the old lighting model, aside from being based on a fixed-function pipeline. The new lighting is full of bloom, gouraud shading, and other things which scream "HD NEXTGEN!!!!" but do not convey the original sense of cartooniness, like playing an immersively interactive Bluth animation. (No, the edited-together-in-real-time-movie Dragon's Lair doesn't really count.)

Wind Waker HD would have benefited by adopting the lighting model of, say, Ni no Kuni.
In 1st world countries too most likely. Small companies bring their own political challenges certainly, and for some people a large company where they can just blend into the noise might be better. I just think I'd have an easier time navigating political issues with a small group where everyone knows each other well.

"It isn't cool anymore" would be more like "I went and still saw the same number of bands, but I'm just not feeling it... the bands just aren't as good as they were back in the old days." This was "It was a chaotic mess, and didn't used to be a chaotic mess". That's more of an objective issue than you're getting at.

(The word "more" is not extraneous, I'm not claiming some sort of "total objectivity", but I'd say that disorganization is something that can really happen beyond the realm of mere opinion.)
Honestly, the more I look at it the more my eyes hurt.

That is indeed Jamie.

This is the first complaint I've seen about disorganization. Most of the complaints I've heard are that the artists are too mainstream. If they're going to put on someone like Lady Gaga, they should just rent the UT football stadium and have that part be a mega festival on it's own weekend with 70k attendees. SXSW (music) has always been about the bands that could be big in about 1-2 years. You go to listen to them so that yes, you can brag to your friends that you heard them before they became famous.

They need to dial it back some.
Problem there might be that 'disingenuous' can be a false friend for non-english native speakers...

But I do tend to agree with his comment. Self hosting is never simple, it's one more thing you have to take care of. Yes there might be cases where self hosting something is a requirement but, personally, for all the things that are strictly not work related and things that "just have to work" (e.g.: email, im, code hosting for free time projects) I use third party services, unfortunately I don't have enough time to take care of those things, and since I have to take care of similar things at work, at least for my own spare time I want something that helps me focus on what I really want to do.

> The need to update computer operating systems has come at a time of major new investment in cybersecurity, including the creation of the new military U.S. Cyber Command, based at Fort Meade. But the unglamorous work of updating operating systems was a lower priority than buying expensive, high-tech systems to monitor and rebuff cyberattacks, critics said.

“Nobody is going to be promoted on the back of moving from XP to Windows 7,” said Christopher Soghoian, a computer security expert and principal technologist for the American Civil Liberties Union. “It’s so mundane but so important.”

Sad, but true...you'd think if there would be one sector of society in which the mundane-but-important work could be rewarded, it'd be in the government sector, where the force of law and regulation would make it a political priority, even if it will never become a glamorous role.
I think everyone has witnessed that phenomenon, regardless of what industry they work in.
It should keep seeding until the app is closed (so on average potentially a lot longer than the duration of the movie). They could also make it so the app minimizes to the tray, which could lead to even longer average seeding time (some people just close an app because they don't use it right then).
This comment caught my attention:

"I won't be coming back. I'd have had better luck by just looking at the schedule and punching names into YouTube, then waiting for those bands to come to SF."

I wonder what the odds are we'll see within 10 years Occulus like VR environments that can capture the concert experience, reducing somewhat the need to track down bands in crazy canceling venues like this if all you are interested in is the music experience (as opposed to the Social "Concert Experience")

In the bad old days before ubiquitous color bitmapped displays, people used monochrome monitors that often used green on black or amber on black. More likely than not, jwz's color scheme is a homage to that.

Colors : A Game About Mixing
Heres a pretty cool new puzzle game with a very interesting concept! Check it out and see what you think.
Not only that... The main concern is that since Vista/7/8 are derived from XP, they also share critical vulnerabilities hidden inside the core of the OS. If Microsoft stops publishing patches for XP, there is a non trivial risks that attackers will be able to look at a patch for a newer Windows version, reverse it and make an exploit that will work perfectly on XP, which won't get the security fix.
Yeah, but still very limited by aspect angle to engine exhaust. Detection is ok, tracking is poor unless very close or with LoS to the tailpipes. Anything ground-based will almost never be able to stare directly at the aft end of an aircraft except during egress (i.e. after it's done its job). What I'm getting at is there are huge limitations to passive tracking of IR emissions, otherwise we'd be using it instead of (active) radar.

What "law"? Just because the authorities in New Jersey try to attack (Massachusetts) university students for a proof of concept project doesn't mean the law is on their side.

But even if the law is on the side of the students (which I believe is obvious), that doesn't necessarily mean much if they don't have the same level of legal support that the state has at its disposal. This is why MIT fully supporting their students is so vital.
Austinites figured this out 10 years ago.

Really, what is it about a "Music Festival" where a band gets 30 minutes of stage time (if they're lucky)?
The fact the photos are from 2013 or someone at Maidan was wearing an old Nazi symbol of Svoboda does not justify the statements "There is no anti-Semitism in Ukraine" and "Svoboda has nothing to do with Nazis". Rather the opposite.

I have no problem recognizing Gubarev is/used to be a Nazi. But this does not mean the "peaceful activists" at Maidan had nothing to do with Nazis.
I was about to post along these lines regarding my confusion. I had no idea it was a music festival.
Thanks. I intentionally kept the size small since it's not meant to be used as my primary board; I use an Ergodox when I'm at my desk and only use the Atreus when I'm out at coffee shops or relaxing on the couch, so the context is different. Using the fn key for so much definitely takes getting used to though.
If by "some" you mean "roughly all," then yes, but then all he'd have is a late-'90s platformer engine with some unprofessional graphics and sounds. The whole point here is using the Mario assets to evoke Mario 64.

Ask HN: Should we be Co-Founders? or CEO and CTO? 
We graduate in May. He is a badass coder. I've done sales, design, growth hacking and everything uncoded.

Seems silly to take a title like "CEO" or "CTO" when there is nothing but an idea. Seems equally silly to avoid a critical conversation and leave roles ambiguous.

I understand that titles are somewhat arbitrary and meaningless. But I also understand that they serve some purpose.

EDIT: We have several ideas we are vetting. We are at different stages with different ideas. Some have prototypes. Some are just ideas.

Er, did you miss the part where I said "You can build your own computer. It won't be an appliance"?

Most kitchens have microwaves in them. Sometimes a microwave is the best tool for a job. (For defrosting red meat, for example.) But chefs don't insist on forcing their microwave to somehow do all their kitchen-related tasks; they use other tools, each with its own affordances, each with a best-suited task, together, to get done what they want done.

Likewise, a home-entertainment system usually has a DVD player in it. You don't try to use your DVD player as a PVR, or a video-game machine. You use separate devices for each of those tasks.

A capital-c-Computer is an amazing machine that can do many things equally well--it's sort of like an undifferentiated stem-cell. I completely understand wanting to use a capital-c-Computer, just for the sheer neatness-factor of it.

But a PC? The modern PC isn't a capital-c-Computer. The modern PC is a microwave, a DVD player. Like the microwave, like the DVD player, you likely have one in your toolkit--in fact, you likely use it for a lot of things. But it'd be silly to expect it to do everything.

You can have your capital-C-Computer and a PC too. Neither of them is going anywhere.

It is my understanding that threading is a sore topic in most common lisps having either poor or experimental support. I'd love to be proved wrong, however.
Sounds like a simple case of not enough stages. Promoters don't seem to care, either.
The peers with less of the file and further from the seeders will tend to have higher bandwidth as they have more peers they can download from. The vast majority of the network is after only one piece of the file and few peers have it. This collapses the network into a more tree like structure (rather than the desired mesh) which limits the network bandwidth. Whether this is enough to degrade the swarm to the point were it is not useful for streaming or even causes the file to become incomplete is another question, but it does impact bandwidth. I can give an example if this still isn't apparent, but it'd take me a bit to write up.
Transponders are active radio transmitters, there are plenty of situations where they need to be shut down (electrical faults, interference with airport radars, safety of maintenance technicians).

A plane being hijacked in this way is so incredible rare that having always-on transponders is not worth the safety trade off.
All of the official shows have been crap for a long time. I have no idea why anyone would pay $800+ for one of those passes when theres better bands playing free shows usually with free food and drink over on the east side of town.
Do people not know about all of the 'off-SXSW' stuff going on? These days it doesn't even take knowing somebody to find out where the action is.
"Since it's running on java, you probably don't want to expose this server to the internet"

Is latest versions from tomcat/jetty/etc. really known for having major security holes? More so than apache/nginx/etc.

Maybe you are confusing the recent Java applets security issue with Java in general. Java has got to be one of the most well funded and developed technology out there, due to peoples reliance to it in enterprise.

People also don't normally run their Java web server as root which adds a bit more security. If there is something about Java security that makes you so worried, I would love to hear about it. As it will probably be news to me.
I've been a contractor at several DHS projects over the years, and believe me, the problem is not technical; it rarely is in the government. It's not even political most of the time. It's just bad management and, mainly, poor planning. Most everyone in IT roles know keeping around XP and old IE/Outlook is bad. They really do (or maybe I'm way too optimistic)...

What satellites are you using that have world wide coverage and enough bandwidth for this purpose?

Such a system also wouldn't be immune to being disabled as the current tracking systems are. People need to learn to live with uncertainty instead of trying to remove it.
People might not get promoted but running a smooth transition can get a contractor quite a bit of money.

Working in government this is exactly what is happening. The XP to Win 7 transition is being run by contractors where I work.

CMB telescopes use microwave antennas (often feedhorns) to direct the electromagnetic radiation onto some kind of detector. In the case of BICEP, the detector is a superconducting bolometer, which senses small temperature changes caused by CMB photons depositing themselves onto a resistive element.

To get data, a CMB telescope is scanned across the sky for several months (or years), and the raw time signals are converted into a map of the microwave sky.

LIGO is an entirely different category of scientific instrument; it is looking for the direct influence of present-day gravitational waves on the motion of terrestrial masses.
Yeah, that was one of the few good reasons I could think of for capturing a plane like that and not asking for ransom. I'm sure there are others, planes are valuable, but possibly only with fairly high end infrastructure, and I can't imagine trying to fence a plane.

Count me among those who think the storage is doable. The transmission may be a bottleneck: effectively you're doubling the bandwidth requirements for phone traffic.

With local tapping and storage facilities with some mechanism for cache-and-forward including the enduring favorite: a station wagon full of tapes, or perhaps a panel-van full of flash drives, this remains within the realm of possibility.
