Stockholm, Sweden, has a fairly unregulated taxi market in that pricing is set independently. This causes massive issues, specifically for tourists who have no idea what to pick. They end up paying $500 USD to go from the airport to town, a ride that is usually closer to $60-70 USD.

I guess what I'm saying is judgement is contextual.

I was going to suggest Django. I had been a back end developer for a while. I could put together a Perl CGI script to display a webpage, but not too much more.

One problem you first have with web development, is you see too many possible ways to implement something. Using a good framework makes a lot of these decisions for you (or at least encourages you to do things properly), and reduces the amount or boilerplate code you.

Plus the guys that write these frameworks have loads more experience than you and have added stuff you probably don't even know about. CSFR protection for example. Sure it was a pain getting the first errors resolved, but now I know that I ought to be including these things in my webpages now.

>The official reason for the shutdown is that there were sexual photos of some poor citizen released on twitter against her will, and she complained but twitter refused to take them down. So they decided to shut down the entire website. Yeah, right.

Well, this part makes sense. If some international company doesn't comply with local laws and customs, what's left to do? It's not like Twitter, a private company, is above all law, and is some kind of essential need for humanity.
Which point incidentally?
Well, besides the 140 characters, in a lot of cases it's also a foreign government controlled medium, with tons of paid "independent individuals" spurting propaganda against your country's interests to influence local policy in favor of this or that large interest group.
On Having Balls, Part II: Staying Hungry (2007)
> the always starters

I have the feeling, that everyone who don't want to do real work, is this kind of person...

There are a big bunch of people out there with ideas, but only a fraction of them will realize their ideas.

This is why there are "non-technical-founders" (I have this idea, I just need someone _helping_ me to implement it) and why developers are paid so much money.

Because everyone can have ideas, but not everyone can make them work.
We recently upgraded a large Django app from 1.4 to 1.6, we actually begun the transition when Django was on 1.6b1 as we hoped they would hit stable before we were ready for production (they did). To be honest the only issues we had were 3rd party apps that had not been updated, which wasn't surprising as 1.6 was still in Beta when we began. And as 1.6 neared release we found fewer and fewer apps that still had problems.

Beyond that it was pretty straight forward, but it really helps if you have good unittests to begin with.

A New App That Lets You Take Apart Websites and Rebuild Them At Will
Being limited to reading the first paragraph of the linked article (paywall) and the other comments here, I can't resist to point out for those Pratchett fans among us, that this feels like the stunt Moist von Lipwig pulled in "Going Postal" in order to pay for the reconstruction of the post office.

While I feel really bad for those who lost money with MtGox, there were so many signs pointing at such an outcome: Unexperienced programmer asking all the wrong questions, background in "Magic the Gathering" card trading, zero background in banking or security.

None of that sounded particularly trustworthy and look where it went.

It seems that Erdogan reads religious freedom as "right to be as Islamic as one wishes." Of course, they're both valid outcomes of religious freedom, but it makes a big difference to those who use religious freedom as an excuse to move the country in a particular direction.
You judgement is sufficient because you live in a world where taxi are regulated and as such any legitimate unregulated competition will strive to provide you the same guarantee you get with the regulated ones.

Now I'm not saying that the current regulation shouldn't get refreshed to consider what is currently available. But I'm amazed how people are just all or nothing about regulation.

You should want enough regulation so that a basic level of service is guaranteed. If that is not the case, it becomes too hard for customer to efficiently compare services. Like in this case, you should be able to compare taxi companies in less than a few minutes. If you need more than that, then chance are that you will stick with the reliable provider you know. Good competition happens when consumers are willing to try alternative.

More worrying is not the BS they (Sarkozy and Berlusconi) have done, but who is the arbiter of "truth" who makes the recordings and the leaks.

Perhaps some foreign power or some large interest group, that seeks to replace them with some equally scum candidates, but who will be more willing to cater to them, and who will not have leaks on him...

Leaks are not providing transparency, but the illusion of it. You only have transparency if you either have leaks for everybody and all their ill actions (which you don't have a way to check if is the case) or if you also know who makes the leaks and why.

That's why old regulations were good in old times but now that app can help you choose the best taxi at the best price this is not necessary.

Technology changes, people change so regulations must change with it.

We should version control all laws and regulations and we should debug them when we see people taking advantage of them in unexpected ways.
>> I am baffled as to why you'd build your castle atop a crumbling foundation

I think you're using a wrong metaphor. Facebook foundations can't be crumbling just because they're made in PHP. There wouldn't be Facebook as we know it today otherwise. You might say they used a "low quality" material to build them. I see Hack more as a better material, that can also bind with the previous one and make it stronger.

It's not like these photos went mainstream or anything. Nobody knows who is that person or have seen these photos. Even if that was the case, you still have to punish the offenders, protect the victim without shutting down a fundamental service to everybody.

Ask HN: Does anybody use ZFS on their mac?
Just found out about this: http://downloads.maczfs.org/

If you use it, what are your experiences?

Is it reliable? Does it work without glitches? I'm mostly looking to use it on two external HDDs. I wont create any pools spanning over drives. I'm mostly interested in the data integrity aspects of the file system.

The installation notes say this:

> Using kernel extensions introduce a degree of instability into a system that userland processes don't encounter; the software has been known to cause kernel panics in the past. In addition, any file system has the possibility of causing damage to files; whilst ZFS creates checksums of all blocks (and so can detect failure earlier than in other systems) there's no guarantee that your data will be accessible in the event
of problems.

Out of curiosity, how much rich/poor disparity do you have? I find it interesting that the political landscape in the Nordic countries is so consensual, as opposed to what you can see elsewhere in Europe, and wonder if that's a consequence of high tax pressure and the smaller difference between social classes.
Medium launches an app for reading stories on the go
Except twitter has policies in place for exactly this situation:

"How do I report that my private information is posted on Twitter?" https://support.twitter.com/groups/56-policies-violations/to...

and

"reporting abusive behavior" https://support.twitter.com/groups/56-policies-violations/to...

and

"How to make an emergency disclosure request", followed by "requests from non-us law enforcement": https://support.twitter.com/groups/56-policies-violations/to...

The problem is that there is no evidence that such a case even happened and even if it did, that they notified twitter and asked them to take it down. On the flipside, it's too much of a coincidence that this happened 10 days before the local elections, and almost immediately after the PM said he would eradicate twitter.

----------------------

edit: Also, I don't have the time to translate from turkish but it seems that the court that ordered the site blocked was officially taken off duty two weeks before this event even happened.

https://twitter.com/av_akinatalay/status/446792494907686912/... order from the government's official newspaper, taking "heavy crimes" (e.g. terrorism) courts off duty

https://twitter.com/av_akinatalay/status/446783831254003712/... twitter takedown notice showing that the court which ordered this was appointed due to the TMK (law to combat terror) article #10, and this should have been shut down already

It's dubious that this court case even happened!

You try hiring and/or retraining enough engineers to be able to make a switch to OCaml, and see how much it'll cost you.

I detest PHP, but I've still more than once made the choice to do apps in PHP motivated by developer availability alone.

It's not a great language, but with some discipline it is also not nearly as awful as some people like to think, and you can make up for a lot of awful with the difference in ability to hire experienced engineers who know PHP vs. many of the less common languages.

"clearly not the UK or the US".
If it is so obvious, please explain to me. Obviously we are not technically a democracy, but if you were to ask that question you should know also that no government on earth is a democracy in the sense of the ancient Greeks, who elected positions via lottery (such that every citizen got they fair turn) and let everyone vote on issues.
Surely the US & UK are not that, but what makes you say that they are so clearly not democracies by the definition so commonly used today?
Facebook has already proven that they are able to make improvements that have substantially helped them to the point where this team is likely paying for itself many times over. It doesn't need to be perfect - it needs to offer return on investment, and it has.

It's possible that they could eventually get a total rewrite to give a better return, but frankly I don't think you have any idea of the enormity of trying to convert a multi-million line production platform from one language to another.

In any case, one does not preclude the other. Arguably, many of the changes they have made, such as gradual typing, and their ability to now slowly introduce other changes without breaking their existing codebase, means they have a platform for slowly firming up their codebase and migrate it towards a position where a full rewrite (should they decide to do one in the future) could be made substantially less painful.

Ah. Thank you for correcting me. For what it's worth, your explanations are what I had in mind when talking about the scientificness of the investigations. I probably should have said "nullc has been doing a great job of making sure people don't get carried away with unfounded speculation" and left it at that though.
So the size of the dots are the Money_JPY "volume" - that is, Yen, and not Bitcoins? Isn't that a bit redundant, because it contains information from the y-axis, which encodes the Yen value of a BC? Wouldn't it have been more interesting to see if the number of BCs traded actually went down with the increase of value of BCs? Right now, it only shows how the volume of trades has increased, but that seems to be obvious given BC's value hike. Actually, to make the graphs distinct, shouldn't the number of BCs traded be on the Y-axis (maybe on log scale, too, as I suspect a huge drop over time) and the dots remain as they are?
I don't like the idea of having the notifications be parented under the current app's toolbar (also what if it doesn't have a toolbar), but I do like the little bubble appearing and needing a slide to action, that looks cute.
You have a point here. The recordings in France were made by the police as part of the investigation, as for the leaks, it's not clear. Other tapes, this time recorded by a former advisor, were leaked to right-wing newspapers and websites, possibly as a symptom of internal struggle. The police recordings being leaked may be due to the work of the Mediapart website, leaked by the current government before the upcoming elections, leaked by left-wing sympathizers in the police/justice, leaked by right-wing opponents of Sarkozy... your choice. I doubt any foreign state plays a role there.

The situation in Turkey is much more worrying though. That's different competing conspiracies.

Actually there's no solid evidence how much help an accountant is with regards to safely using Bitcoins.

Would an accountant know enough to safely store "wallets", to monitor "blockchains". Is this in their training? No. You can have perfect accounting and still turn out you lost the wallets.

Bitcoin's problem is that there's no other asset in human history so easily misplaced, lost, or stolen. A bunch of numbers on a bunch of vulnerable computers.
