I'm pretty sure this won't change your mind, but my view is more-or-less "better the devil I know." Trading in Microsoft and Adobe's phone-homers for Apple's is fine in my book.
I think it's just pointing out that focusing on any one thing and proclaiming it wastes enormous amounts of resources when viewed at large scale can be a bit silly most of the time. I mean, why stop at April Fool's?

As another person mentioned, what do bathroom breaks cost the industry? How much does people working 40 hour weeks rather than 80 hour weeks cost the industry? How much does a 5 day instead of a 7 day work week cost the industry?

My statement was wrong. I believe the effect is still there, considering that in the lists you linked, the strongest grandmasters happen to _also_ be on the youngest grandmasters list. Clearly there is a 3rd factor that correlates these two, or the effect of young chess learning is profound. I'd think the latter.
Are you sure? I think you're taking yourself and the internet a little too seriously. If the jokes aren't funny don't laugh and don't click. If it really bugs you go ahead and spend a day without reading news on the internet, you'll survive, I promise.

This is true. But I'd also like to point out that humor shouldn't be given a free pass on a little healthy analysis simply because it feels good and has been lionized in our culture. That's just a pretext for shutting our brains off. Often this is used as a way to attack analysis which makes things uncomfortable, and sometimes the analysis is uncomfortable because it is true.
There are several databases that will do 150k replicated updates a second on a 2 socket server. Heck, 150k multi-statement transactions has been realistic for years. 1 million on a MacBook air no, not yet. Not enough caching, JITing and precompilation to optimize away the overhead of SQL in anything that currently exists.

This is not to talk down using the right tool for the job, but as soon as you want to do something a little more complicated than count you are right back to reinventing databases. That is basically what you are doing by implementing periodic group commit on top of a database.
Hey Joel! Quick question; are your engineering guys office based or do they work remotely? I've been following you guys for a while but I'm pretty firmly rooted in Warwickshire!
Why the intolerance for those who have
different opinions?

Bigotery is not an opinion. It's bigotery.
It's always pretty hot! Some still around - like Kapow, Connotate, Mozenda, ScraperWiki (which I run). Some not - Needlebase.

Portia is more interesting because it is an open source scraping GUI - the GUIs tend to be very proprietary.
How exactly would you prove this? And even if you could, would suing the maker of a $2.99 game be worth your while?

The second point is a bit of a straw-man. I never meant to imply that this Coinbase disclosure and the NSA metadata are proportional in terms of severity; just that they are structurally similar. The point is that small bits of information can become surprisingly big with the right analysis and effort.

It will be interesting to see in a few years if in fact we are in the midst of a new tech bubble. With sky high valuations for new companies (Zynga, King, WhatsApp, Nest, etc.), at some point prices will have to crash down to more formal valuations of future value.

As for the startup boom: the costs have decreased and the payouts have increased. The risk/reward ratio is in favor of development and a lot of these new products are amazing. These new companies are pushing the boundaries while the legacy corporations are slow to respond and change.
YC-backed startup means a culture of 'move fast and break things' - works for facebook, but definately not something I would want to store my bitcoin on, since 'break things' means 'losing all my money with no recourse'

It should all be a cautionary example about institutionalized humor.
Well, if the difference is a semantic issue between us, then I'm not sure I can explain it. I believe sexual orientation is inherent in the the same way height, sex, or skin color is - e.g. I cannot simply choose to be black or live a "tall" lifestyle. If you think "risk preference" is an inherent trait in that way, then of course the ACA is unjust. I would disagree, but could be convinced given evidence. FWIW, I don't necessarily believe the ACA or the mortgage subsidy are correct or just. I won't comment on KYC laws since I am not familiar with them.

As an aside: I don't think you're comparing homosexual relationships to bestiality, but you're getting close. I hope you understand why this could be offensive and non-productive in a conversation.

Thanks for the great comment. It's rigged to err on the false positive side, to be safe. I didn't expect this sort of interest, honestly, so I'll probably need to improve the app and make it as safe as possible if I find that people are actually using it.

I may be missing something but your link is 301'ing to http://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/emails/new so I really don't how I can submit a contact form over SSL.

It is kind of a moot point because I have committed to moving my bitcoin out of coinbase.
What's more ironic is that the gmail.com addresses comprise upwards of 80% of what's on this list. IRS -> FBI -> Google request. Does it make any difference if this is public or not? IRS has much easier ways of getting at your info than this.

I guess they baned the word “flappy” in all their forms, to prevent an avalanche of “flappy bird” clones, and that includes “flippy”. The game mechanics is totally unrelated, but the name is “too” similar, for a very low value of similarity.

Digg is Rolling Back to V1
Hey. I was in a similar boat. I am US-based, so I'm not sure how much relevance my story has to you. I turn 19 in two months.

I've been programming for leisure for years. I got my first job programming in 10th grade, and loved it. When I graduated a year later, I went to a semester of college.

It's not that college was easy-- it was difficult for me. I just didn't care as much for the subjects I was being tought, and didn't try to succeed. It was time for me to pay for the second semester. I managed to pay for the first one with liquid, but that wasn't going to happen again.

My parents strongly discouraged not going to college, although they are biased in that matter; my mother has dual masters degrees, and my father has a Ph.D, and their degrees are very important to their career pathes.

The job I was at wasn't enough to sustain myself. I was underpaid, the commute was long, and upper management didn't agree on the value that I was adding to the company, despite direct management having a conflicting opinion. Anecdote: one of my friends that worked at a nearby grocery store who's job consisted of literally putting fruit on shelves was making more than me, which made me a bit bitter.

I couldn't find anything locally, since I lived in a remote, rural US town, so I started applying to various surrounding cities. The first job I applied to, I got an offer, and I took it. It was fun, a great learning experience, and I even got a promotion to mid-level developer. I've since left for a job at a similar position at a startup, mostly for fun. It has turned out to be much harder than I expected, but that's OK- challenges are fun.

I have felt incredibly valued by my coworkers and management. I feel successful, and I have no reason to regret my career choices.

My advice to you is to keep pushing forward. I feel like there isn't a HN consensus on this topic, but it is my opinion that there are few programming jobs that require a college education and do not provide an "or similar experience" clause, particularly within US-based startups. The majority of my employers haven't cared for a degree; they just want their employees to be good.[1]

Also, check out online freelancing sites such as oDesk and Elance. It's easy to get started, and I only saw one or two listings that required a degree in the three months I spent on oDesk. One of my contracts turned into the full time position that I have now.

[1] I may be susceptible to survivorship bias, as any employer that would agree to hire someone without a degree obviously wouldn't care for the degree.

Most MMORPG I know use TCP, we're talking about low latency messages and a lot of people in the same zone, so yes TCP is fine for most cases outside of FPS / RTS.
Actually, HN today is filled with almost no April fools stories. I tried looking, there's maybe 1.. 2?
Excellent point, awesome RFC! It's worth reproducing this point from the abstract, which makes the same point you do:

> Because congestion control is critical to the stable operation of the Internet, applications and upper-layer protocols that choose to use UDP as an Internet transport must employ mechanisms to prevent congestion collapse and to establish some degree of fairness with concurrent traffic.

It's a shame that the internet requires this kind of good behaviour from individual hosts, because it leaves it vulnerable to buggy or malicious nodes. But as long as it does, it's essential that users of UDP know about this.

The Due Diligence Farce
The lack of success of .tel is largely because Telnic has implemented the TLD in such a way that it can only be used to publish contact information - every .tel domain must have its nameservers set to Telnic's DNS servers, which in turn will only serve records pointing to Telnic's web servers, which will only serve pages listing contact information.
The whole idea of Bitcoin was that you wouldn't use banks, but as we can see convenience trumps that.
As an Acoustic Consultant turned Developer I have to stress that from the perspective of "noise" alone, open plan offices are detrimental to concentration. I define concentration as time spent without interruptions.

Even the use of headphones, can in a sense, be a distraction. Music being played too loud creates stress in the body, and if you are trying to listen to music to drown out a busy office then chances are you are not increasing concentration by much (if any).

As an Acoustician I visited many tech open plan offices who wanted to hear suggestions on quieting down conversations, and phones ringing. And I always laughed to myself at this because the best suggestion is to build walls! Cubicles help, but generally only the kind with the 6-8ft walls.

As a developer these days, I honestly feel that working from home can be much more productive than the office because it is peace and quiet.

Quiet is good for me as a developer.
Gay marriage opponents believe that the government can regulate and subsidize marriage just like anything else (e.g., wages, consumption of herbs, ownership of a home). I understand this view even if I don't share it - government can regulate anything, and whether gay marriage should be legal or illegal is just the result of a cost/benefit analysis.

I'm pretty sure that if you were to restrict gay marriage opponents to those that consider an issue of costs/benefits, the turnout in support of Prop.8 and similar legislative actions would be marginal. But feel free to show me wrong, my position is based mostly on personal observation and hearsay, not data.

By the way: http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/category/research/econ...

It's the gay marriage proponents arguing that unlike medical devices or food preparation techniques, gay marriage is somehow beyond the purview of government to regulate. I'm asking about the principles underlying this strange exclusion.

No, they don't. That wouldn't even make sense, since (civil) marriage is regulation. What they object to is regulations that apply differently to people of different genders. You may disagree on the (ridiculous, in my opinion) basis that "gay people can still marry other people, just not each other", but claiming that you don't understand the principle is little more than trolling.
Looks nicer than bxslider.
I use and recommend git-crypt. It's great when you need to version sensitive files but don't want to give everyone access to them.
If you look at the other comments, I think you deserve a promotion from terminally gullible to generally optimistic.
Aside from the ethical issues, civil partnerships only had identical treatment to marriage under Californian state law. They weren't treated as marriages under federal law, or by many other countries and US states that recognised gay marriage. Likewise, Prop 8 meant that the marriages of gay couples from outside the state couldn't be recognised in California.
Maybe they don't think it's necessary or appropriate to what you're doing with the sound?
Ask HN: Authenticate, signup, store user without a server?
I've begun fooling around with a Parse.User() from Parse.com

It got me thinking, Amazon AWS has a Javascript SDK right that lets you use AWS directly from the browser...http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/guide/index.html

How do you go about doing the same thing Parse is seemingly doing? Basically, capture email and password from a form and send it directly to Amazon?

It was really complicated seemed like I can only let user's login via Google, Amazon or Facebook. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/UsingSTS/CreatingWIF.html

What about supporting basic username/password combo without the need to go through a 3rd party authentication?

Also, what would you use to store the user data? Amazon S3? DynamoDB? SimpleDB?

Super lost as to how I can get this started. Basically, I want to host the static portions like html, css, javascript on S3 and handle the user authentication and interacting with storage via Amazon Javascript SDK.

Eventually I'd need to support Stripe as well. but I don't want to host it on my own server, it should be on Amazon or something.

Parse also seems to have something like this
