Thanks for the note everett; I'm not sure about this dealer and their process. But we've looked at a couple local consignment lots and didn't find a deal that made sense. For example, a local lot here in Berkeley charges you ~450 per month to hold on to your vehicle. They do very few of the value adds that we do. We do: CarFax, PreSale Mechanic's Inspection (via YourMechanic), Listing the vehicle so it gets serious exposure (our estimates is that we hit roughly 90%+ of all car buyers), we don't need to take your key, even if you only have 1 we can do test drives without you being there, you always have complete access to the car, etc...
Think about it this way, even at $200 per month, the dealer has an incentive to keep you car on his lot as long as possible. With our commission only model, we have an incentive to get your car sold.
True store - one of our recent customers had her car listed at said consignment lot for 2 months with no action. She payed ~$900 for nothing, on top of paying her car payment and insurance. 2 months at well over $1k. She came to us and we had it sold in 3 days (3 days is not typical, but we have incentive to get the cars sold quickly).
It's a matter of having the incentives lined up correctly.
Adoption and surrogates/donors are both options in gay marriages.
1) Just looking at the site, without actually signing up, I can't really figure out what you do. I had to read through the comments here to understand what the service is.
2) I would be willing to pay several hundred to a thousand dollars, depending on what the car is and how difficult it is to sell.
3) Saving time and hassle is the biggest benefit for me.
4) Put more info on the site regarding what the service is, what benefits you provide, without having to sign up.

I have no dispute on restaurant, motel, hospital, and other public establishments, but wedding photographer and cake designer are artists. What about goldsmiths, painters of portraits, and software developers? Can you be compelled to work? What about priests then? This is the slope that fuels the money.
Of course, it would help if browsers stopped letting sites put an image at the same place they show the locker (like they used to)... But that would require a few more pixels for canvas, and security is a secondary concern (just like usability).
As an aside; I have been thinking it would be useful to have two new levels of capital gains taxes.

In addition to long term capital gains, and short term capital gains, there would be "intra-day" capital gains and "sub-second" capital gains.

I was thinking the intra-day gains Federal tax rate would be 50% and sub-second capital gains Federal rate would be 90%, but these values are arbitrary.

For both new types of capital gains, LIFO trade accounting would be used.

Ask HN: List of common user agents and screen sizes?
I want to grab screenshots of some web pages, as seen by common users. I know that I can use wkhtmltopdf to do this, and pass custom values for the user agent and screen size, as per the example here: https://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/issues/detail?id=596

However, I'm not so sure where I can get a list of the most common screen sizes for my country (China).

I've seen the list here (http://www.bigbossmas.com/web-development/list-of-mobile-device-sizes/) but it doesn't show the frequency, so I'm not sure which ones to pick to get my 'top 10'.

Does anyone have a list, or a pointer to a tool which will generate the screenshots for popular combos?
>People are choosing, quite wisely, to not have kids, so our birth rates are sub-replacement

maybe for your chosen social group, but global population growth is about 1.2% per year.
The solution to that is every site should support HTTPS (or at least every site that has even the slightest risk that someone would want to do this to them).
What is this?

"You are not a product. Sign up for our new thing that is nebulously different from things that treat you like a product."
Genius. I can't think of a better idea than incentivising people to reproduce more and as soon as possible. This is exactly what the world needs.

Some people might say that this is a puritanical and unacceptable meddling of the state in deeply personal choices, but I say fuck them! If we play our cards right we can evolve into being social insects in less than one century.
Those visitors probably didn't make it to your server, and got lost during redirects (canceled the request).
This makes sense if they are using 3G.
As there are at least 1 (sometimes 2) redirects between the click and your site.
They track the visitor before they get redirected obviously.

I have dev'd for an advertising company, have worked with several campaigning networks like HasOffers, and have found similar results. This is more than common.

Still very interesting that the bulk seems to be Android (mobile traffic). A must know if you are not targeting mobile..
Agreed. There should be a large warning on the console: "Warning to passengers: The Vehicle Systems have been Compromised. Please do not ride in this vehicle. A Service tow truck has been dispatched."

Also, the car should not move.

If a site sends max-age=31536000 and then subsequently sends max-age=3, does the second header overwrite the first? If so, then you can in fact go back as long as you're willing to continue supporting HTTPS until the longest max-age header you ever sent has expired.
You can't go back in the sense that random end-users that visit your site will likely have that cached. In chrome, you can always visit about:net-internals and clear the HSTS cache. Probably not useful for random users, but good to know if you've found yourself locked out of something after messing around with settings.
For the most part, the present problem is not due to a global shortage of food:

100 billion seems like it would be a challenge.
I didn't read your previous thread so this might be repetitive but talk to a physician about medication that could help. You think you are depressed. That's a good start to fix something if there's a problem, but there might be a chemical component to the way you're feeling. It's not uncommon for creative people to feel the way you're feeling so this is a perfect place to discuss :)
Why Hollywood People Never Say 'No'
Someone's thinking with P0rtals. ;).
The real drastic solution is to disable HTTP for the entire internet and stop implicitly trusting the identity of servers. Until we decide that is worthwhile we're just going to be patching a leaky boat.
Sorry about that! The theme has issues on Firefox for some reason and I haven't been able to track it down (and the theme author hasn't responded either). This is horribly annoying, but try opening it in another browser.
> I'm still trying to understand why anyone would want to encourage population expansion in a world with nearly 8 billion people.

That's easy to answer. Imagine you own a factory. The factory has two doors. In one door comes customers. In the other door comes workers.

* If you can get more customers competing for limited products in your showroom, you can raise prices and become richer.

* If you can get more workers competing for limited positions on your factory floor, you can reduce wages and become richer.

* In every way, population increase enriches the owners of (a) capital, and (b) means of production.

So, exactly why would you not argue for a higher population? And why would you not fight birth control, contraception and abortion, education, voting rights and gender equality for women, and sex education in the schools?

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the conservative agenda just happens to fight for unlimited population growth, both here and abroad.
Uh...unless it's connecting up with nearby players?
Please establish that those children starving is because of overpopulation.
Poking around an unknown device's network and sending arbitrary commands to see how it responds could certainly very well damage something.
True. I really despise the credit reporting industry.
Every weekend the list from Chrome is used to automatically update Firefox in tree version.
> 1. You can't go back! As soon as a browser sees Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000", it will refuse to load your site over HTTP for the next year.

Is this true? What if you send a new header with a max-age of 1 second, or send one with a garbage value?

I'm pretty sure I've seen a way for a website to disable HSTS, but I can't confirm right now.
Just finished it, thanks for sharing, really great insight into the industry.
You started with jailbreaking then transitioned to malicious software update - aren't those two different things? While it's possible that bad software would cause dangerous problems with the car, it's also possible that a bad repair job or bad part will as well. Yet we allow unlicensed mechanics, like the owner of the car, to do things like replace the brakes.

While you may not be comfortable jailbreaking your own car, you might also not be comfortable replacing your own brakes? Do you think my replacing the brakes of my own car would also be sketchy? I am a better programmer than I am a car mechanic. Also, after-market mods which reprogram the engine have been around for a while, so it's not like people do things like this already.
Whether or not it is an "integral societal good" depends on the child's upbringing and its eventual contribution to society, neither of which are guaranteed to be positive. In fact, by doing this, you would be encouraging more people (including ones who are ill suited) to raise children merely to pay less taxes, and consequently have more numbers, but less utility.
I'm actually using Chrome ...
If you sell to a dealership that will sell the car themselves, you have some wiggle room on the trade-in price because you're cutting out 2 middlemen (wholesaler and auction).

Also, don't forget the tax benefit you get by the lower price of the care you're buying. Not sure if this is new cars only but that offset can be thousands, depending on the trade-in value and new car cost.
It's the opposite. A channel with limited appeal would likely need to pay the cable provider to get included. This is all very basic economics and human behavior.
Why did a small dent make the car unsaleable? It seems odd because usually doing work on something before selling it will net you a loss.
"they encourage one child per family"

Can we say two? Would still lead to a population decrease over time, and given the risks my brothers and I took growing up I'd want some redundancy...
I'm sure only signed updates are allowed. Same as with intel microcode updates and most firmwares. They'd be highly irresponsible if jailbreaking was left possible.
Is it even that complicated? Just cut one (or all 4) of the lines under the car that runs to the brake calipers. No need to get under the hood.
Great point about the item-by-item interaction deterring theft. And of course it's not clear how you can use RFID to smooth purchase of items sold in bulk/by weight.

Checkout lines must also be a real profit center with all the high-margin impulse buy items (magazines, snacks, etc) placed there.
My first thought was, "I hope it isn't sterile." If goat/sheep hybrids are this rare then a fertile "bridge" (even in one direction) would be of some scientific (and agricultural) interest.

Food is a distant second...

I believe that Firefox is still generating its HSTS preload list from Chromium's - a few months ago I got a site added to Chromium's HSTS list and a few weeks later it showed up in Firefox. I couldn't even figure out how to submit directly to Firefox.

I agree that a global registry would be better, but it should probably be updated using the browser's normal update channel, to avoid re-inventing the wheel. (And DNSSEC has way too many issues.) It's true that ties the list to specific releases, but since browsers have good, and frequent, auto-updating, I think that's OK.

Oh shoot, I see what you mean. So sorry, I was stupidly testing with the trackpad which is obviously not arrow keys.
To add another perspective to this. If we assume that after a period of adaption eating less is just as much of a joy as eating a bit too much from time to time, there are still other factors.

Most of them are a product of vanity, but they still shape our culture.

How would I look if I reduce calories? I would lose a substantial amount of muscle mass. I would be weaker. I could not recover from endurance and strength work as fast as I'm used to.

If we throw all reasonable studies into a bucket and have them guide our lives, what would happen?

I wouldn't be tan. I wouldn't grow as large because small people supposedly live longer (though this is of course not something we can influence yet). I would have a very low muscle tonus as well as mass and only sufficient muscular endurance and size to do whatever I have to do (which is very little compared to a blacksmith in 1407). I would share a grey substance (heck, let's keep the name soylent) with my date that has everything I need to live. I have no car to reduce my carbon footprint. I will avoid the sun in general due to my skin color which is very prone to cancer (thankfully my children will be genetically altered). I will gladly try to avoid talking about any of this because saying "Don't you think beeing vegan is awesome?" will lead to an imaginary bullet flying in my general direction.

Let's have a vote of how many women find this lifestyle that will carry me into my 100s so mind-boggling attractive while I'm still in my 20s.

Mozilla had nothing to do with Prop 8. Eich's professional position at Mozilla had nothing to do with Prop 8.

His personal opinions and actions are his own business. Judging his professional placement on the basis of his personal life is unprofessional, invasive, and bigoted.
I would like to point out that HSTS is not compatible with private browsing because by saving the information that the particular site must be accessed by HTTPS the browser exposes the fact that the said site was previously accessed. I hope we will eventually come to required secure HTTP by default with the next versions of the protocol.

And that's a mighty hacker-unfriendly stance to take for a company whose client base is made up of a disproportionately large number of engineers and computer scientists, many of whom will doubtless be curious as to the inner workings of their car computer systems.

I mean, could you imagine if a car manufacturer took this attitude toward car owners who were exploring the car's transmission, which is clearly just as critical to the car's safety as the car computer system?

My view of Tesla just sank a notch (but I still want one).

Edit: Actually, I thought about it a bit, and I actually don't want one anymore if this is the attitude that prevails inside the company. For the same reason that I don't want any Apple products. I'm far from a Stallman acolyte, but I'll be damned if I'll buy from a company that wants to forbid me from hacking on hardware that I have purchased and own.
Don't talk to me about good faith. There is not a shred of good faith in the witch hunt you have staged against Eich. You have disenfranchised this man of employment for which he was more than qualified. You have oppressed him politically and financially. You are bigots, each and every one of you.
Yes, you at least have to say where to get the source from if you publish/distribute binaries to others.
It is great that the installation works with Express. Much preferable to the approach taken by the Python Tools for VS requiring a separate installation of the bare VS shell. They say they can't enable installation of PTVS on Express because Express doesn't support extensions. I guess you aren't doing NTVS as an extension. Any hope for getting PTVS to install on Express using whatever method you are using?
Here's an idea. Rather than taxing the childless maybe you should get a tax break from taking care/raising children made by someone else instead? I.e. the last thing this planet needs is new people.
As it stands now, a domain name owner in the current system probably has more risk from domain hijacking than authoritarian censorship.

So the main feature of Namecoin - to provide a censorship-resistant, cryptographically untamperable set of domain name records - is also its biggest disadvantage, as recovery of any stolen domain names is entirely up to the goodwill of the thief.

This reason alone would make it very unappealing for most domain name owners, because as well as going against the established domain name system, it must also break societal expectations of redressing thefts through legal means.
Copy the project's code into a GitHub repository that uses the project's name and start hacking on it there, and then release your own fork.

You called Eich evil. Eich is not evil. You are evil for helping to disenfranchise him of his employment because you disagreed with his opinions.

This is political oppression. You are a bigot. You are evil.
We were an internet only house. Then we looked at prices and we could upgrade our internet 70/35 and add cable TV for an extra $20 a month. I think it ended up being cheaper to add cable than to just upgrade the internet. Once we added DVRs and whatnot it ended up being more expensive but to us it just didn't make sense to keep the cord cut. Especially for me because I like sports.

This seem to suffer from the same problem. It's not smooth.
I agree, this is just a Cuecat + wifi, which is actually great. Scanning barcodes is really not that much fun, and can get frustrating because of moisture, wear or just plain hard to find barcodes. An RFID system could avoid much of this. That being said if it took them 5 years to figure out the economic model for delivery, I imagine cheap (free) barcodes was a major factor in this decision.

It's against ToS to offer lower prices outside of Seamless than you offer on Seamless. That's why no one does it.
One interesting thing I've noticed about HSTS (which is probably a good thing in the long run, but kind of painful for now): it breaks wi-fi capture-portal redirects. Try to load https://news.ycombinator.com/ on a fresh connection to a wi-fi hotspot, and you just get a connection error.
Do you guys also handle the sale when their is an existing lien? How do you do it?
Well it would be a bit stupid not to if they hope to turn it into a commercial product. Doesn't mean that they're going to be launching trademark litigation against manufacturers of windows and beverage containers.
I'd also note, from the earlier link:

"842 million people in the world do not have enough to eat. This number has fallen by 17 percent since 1990."

We have 1.9 billion more people today than we had in 1990, and we are failing to feed fewer individuals. We're not just feeding more people. We're not even just leaving a smaller percentage starving. We have many more people, and fewer people are starving. "There are too many people, relative to how much food we can produce" is not the dominant effect here.
Ukraine: 'Darth Vader' presidency bid rejected
Hey Josh, it's actually not quite as easy to sell more expensive cars. As you move up the price chain, the market of people that can afford the car gets lower and lower. Think of it this way, 90% of the population can afford a $5k, but only 10% of the population can afford a $30k car. (numbers not accurate or scientific, just as an example).

OK. Now I actually read your old thread. My other advice still stands because if you address the feelings you're having it won't matter what your boss thinks... And being happier in your current position is actually going to put the manager at ease so they're comfortable promoting to the next level. Sucks but that's how companies work.

Tactically I would sit down with your supervisor and discuss what's troubling you, what you're trying to get out of your career and why you're not fulfilled. Then ask them what's expected of you to get promoted: is it time on the job, is it leadership on the team, is it technical achievement? What will make me stand out in this company on this team? There may be details that you don't know that are blocking your progress. If you aren't satisfied with the answers then ask around to see if other teams in that company are recruiting engineers. Don't make it a competition with your boss. Stay humble. Try to be positive about what your boss advises you. Then after the meeting just use the fact finding to decide where you want to put your effort.
