More than anything, what this makes me want to do is lay out some cash to have an actual designer work on a resume for me. I like nice looking resumes, I kind of want a nicer looking resume, I wouldn't mind paying for a nicer looking resume, I don't really want one that looks like those that hundreds of other people are using.

Perhaps a nice direction for a project such as this is to become more of a marketplace, similar to what you have with WordPress templates. This would mean more template diversity with the ease of use that you probably already provide with your CMS.
This was my first thought also. But his name is actually on the list of security researchers (or someone who has the same name of course ;).

I get what you are saying and i'm sure your analogy is correct in some cases.

Wall St. has a long history of fraud and skimmers so it is understandable to say the HTF isn't that bad relative to other things.

But we should be trying to make the markets more fair and give people more confidence that everyone isn't getting ripped off.
This kind of stuff is really cool. I've been working on something similar, execept it's integrated with Github pages. More info here if anybody's interested: http://www.bryanbraun.com/2014/04/02/publishing-books-to-git...
>I created a Facebook CPC campaign (“Clicks to a Website”), and targeted females aged 22-40 in the USA and Australia who like several of my competitors pages and have an interest in Personal Finance.

(Sorry, this is a little off topic.)

Can the OP or someone else fill me in on how he was able to target people who like other pages (that he doesn't own)? Is it through lookalike audience or is there a more direct way to do it? I've been trying to do the same (target similar pages) but I'm clueless as to how to do it.
Well the idea is that as soon as you start having governments making decisions "for the greater good" a lot of not very good things can happen very fast.

It's easy to focus on the positive examples, but when governments start making value judgements, if your values don't line up with the government's you're going to have a pretty bad time.

And yes -- everyone's bringing up that point, but still, that would have meant they were villains. People have the right to be villainous, if they so choose, whether you agree or disagree.

Note- asking for a justification is one thing, forcing them to lower prices is another, and I'm opposed to the latter.

Also, the same decision making body you're hoping will do the net-positive thing has started many wars and done many thinks that are not very conscionable

So let's try a different example: What if the government took a hard line on monitoring every citizen in the US, and enforcing laws with drones, because it would save "millions of lives"? That's less subtle, but the loss of rights that are naturally yours is there nonetheless

If I'm reading this correctly it says that the findings apply to 1) short lived species and 2) rhesus primates. It also says that the effects of CR may or may not be preserved on humans.

So the only real finding here seems to be that we are now able to extend the lifespan of some monkeys.
There's no need for electric showers. The heat regulator could be attached to the "cold" and "hot" handles and a thermometer at the output of the shower.

When the temperature differs from the setup it automatically adjust the "hot" or "cold" temperature to regulate it.

The problem with this is that the whole system would be "reactionary", meaning that temperature regulations would only happen AFTER temperature alterations.

LaTeX has a lot of excellent resume templates that don't look cluttered or messy and feel pretty clean, IMO. In that vein, WriteLaTeX is a great and free/cheap online tool that I think does a fantastic job of getting you up and running with editing: https://www.writelatex.com/

Exactly. It's not "trading by any person". Insider trading is can only be done by someone with a fiduciary responsibility.

If a non-involved person somehow acquires "inside" information (without getting it from one with a fiduciary responsibility) it's not insider trading even if the information is non-public.
You can get prescribed antidepressants from most primary care physicians in the US if you don't want to look for a therapist. However, it's worth Googling around your area to find psychiatrists or therapy offices.

Don't be afraid of not being depressed enough. I made the mistake of doing that and got to a really bad place before I finally sought help. It's also worth noting that, by the time you actually get in to see a doctor, get prescribed something, and then wait the required time period for the medicine to actually start working, you'll be about 2-3 months out from feeling better.

When seeking depression treatment, another thing that was kind of obvious in hindsight (but not so much at the time) is that no one is going to magically come and save you from depression, not even your loved ones. You have to take the initiative to seek help yourself. For months I stalled because I didn't want to go through the process of finding a doctor, and it really ended up biting me in the ass.

Good luck!

> Defining marriage as being between a man and woman isn't like giving food stamps to poor people.

I think you missed what I was trying to say, sorry I wasn't more clear.

> The bottom line for me is that America is supposed to be a place of freedom and equality.

Freedom, yes. Equality? That's tougher to quantify. America certainly has a notion of "inalienable rights", but is Marriage one of them? It doesn't seem so, because if you want to "marry" a 5-year-old, we don't call that a marriage. And we don't call polygamous relationships marriages, at least not for state purposes.

I'm claiming that the Prop 8 campaign is not a civil rights issue, because there are no "fundamental rights" being violated. There's nothing in the constitution that guarantees your right to be married.

Furthermore, the only actual harm that you can claim to have been done to you as a result of Prop8 is a denial of certain financial benefits. That's where the food stamp argument comes in. I'm not equivocating the two situations in a moral sense. I'm merely pointing out that we allow discrimination which we've deemed to be morally neutral for the purposes of allowing access to government benefits.

> If we're going to say that a man and woman can get married, then we have to say that two men or two women can also get married

If it's so big how come I've never heard of it but have of Facebook? It must be that outside of China and Chinese users, it's irrelevant. I honestly don't think Facebook has anything to fear unless the whole world became Chinese somehow.

Even for Microsoft open-source (as in 'anyone can send patches and might get them accepted') is nothing new.

From [1], posted March 27, 2012 (and note the author!):

You can also now contribute directly to the development of the products by reviewing and sending feedback on code checkins, submitting bugs and helping us verify fixes as they are checked in, suggesting and giving feedback on new features as they are implemented, as well as by submitting code fixes or code contributions of your own. Note that all code submissions will be rigorously reviewed and tested by the ASP.NET MVC Team, and only those that meet an extremely high bar for both quality and design/roadmap appropriateness will be merged into the source.

--

Sounds like .. any high profile open source project: Feel free to contribute, be aware that we might reject your work. So two years later, after opening more projects to this model, I don't think 'the sort of open source that major Microsoft products had .. been released under' is correct.

(Obviously there's a fair bit of interpretation going on. As it always is in text, unless you're fairly close to the author perhaps)

Not all "bros" are pro-rape. Especially, most men are not pro-rape so your 50% number is way off. Fake violence is funny! Looney Tunes, the Three Stooges (which sometimes had real violence), every kid who played bang-you're-dead and staged the most dramatic death roll - it's really funny. Rape isn't a problem because of people making jokes about not-real rape, it's a problem because people don't take real rape seriously.

OData, to me, makes sense for data that has a dynamic schematic and/or a client that wants to explore or wander the data in the way an intranet or analyst does. Like Excel folks might. Not the way a phone app or desktop app might. Great for a certain kind of app.

For narrower apps, I'd make a web api but consider using just the OData query string formats (filter, sort) for flexibility.
I believe that the website mentions open source contributions, but that the entire client is not open source.
I can't make up my mind if I would love something like this or not. At one level, it would be somewhat awesome to put together the phone you want. On the other hand, fragmentation is a pain and I don't see how this would do anything but make that worse.
> I think half of the Facebook business model is based on people accidentally clicking things .. How can Facebook fix this?

People with no idea of how to run ad campaigns should not be bad mouthing X ad platform.

There are so many ways this post is wrong. First, a .4% CTR for a newsfeed ad sucks. That means either your demo targeting sucks, or your ad sucks, or both. Second, if android visits don't convert, change targeting to desktop visitors only. Third, traffic sources behave differently. You can't jump to the conclusion that they're scamming you just because one traffic source worked and another one didn't. Another possibility is that you haven't tried hard enough.
While stated as sarcasm, this is a very reasonable concern.

Suppose we can extend human life with Calore Restriction, but at the cost of having to slow person's activity to the point that the overall amout of actions (work, leisure etc.) remains the same as during shorter, more intense life.

Would that still be worth it? What would a person gain through longer lifespan if she was limited to roughly the same amout of activity anyway? Wouldn't competing people gain advantage simply by being able to take advantage of opportunities quicker?

I think you might have misunderstood somewhere -- no, they shouldn't prevent you from sharing it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, butI think you're assuming patent enforcement, the patent system, and patents themselves are a good thing. I don't think that's true.The fact that you think you own an idea you thought of is unreasonable, given you cannot guarantee you are the first one to have it, or the last one to have it. Trade secrets make much more sense, if you don't want your secret recipe to get out, don't let it.
The author mentioned 'toilets'.

I have a hard time seeing why a simple, reliable, thing like a handle needs to be replaced with 'toilet flush' or 'toilet, clean' or the sure to be popular 'toilet, air freshener'.

I have no doubt it will happen. The nicer commercial toilets have automatic flushers, the sinks an soap dispensers operate without touching a button. I'm _startled_ when I'm in a nice office building and I have to turn on the water myself.

It will be pitched as 'sanitary' and 'labor saving' I'm sure.

I'd even buy in if the home model would clean itself, inside and out.

Well, yes, I know what the strlen() is for, that's why I wrote truncate (not terminate); it is shortening the string by 1 character.

I see two problems with your code: it's over-allocating, since it's going to do the truncation there's no need to add 1 for the termination, it balances out with the newline; and there's absolutely no point in using strcpy() when you know the length.
trust me, it's not going to work.

Yes. I agree with Sullivan but this will do us no good.
They own the copyright, so they're free to do what they want with the code. That's why dual licensing models (like that of MySQL) are possible.

However, code that's been distributed under an open license stays that way. So Microsoft could add a commercial license, and even stop making updates under an open license. But if they do that, then there's nothing stopping the community from moving forward with their own fork of the open source version.

If I recall correctly, the Darwin operating system might be a good example of how that sort of dynamic could play out.
Toxin is a buzzword that I use to tell when someone is easily deceived by woo-woo fake science.

The idea that anything processed in a factory is full of "toxins" and anything from nature is "healthy" is an irritating and pervasive fallacy.

I'm not Chinese and have never heard of Tencent. I've heard of Facebook though. I think the fact that it's based solely in China and Chinese users would be a big barrier in being able to grow, as these social apps have a networking effect, in which case it works amongst Chinese but might have trouble with attracting non-Chinese speakers. just like if Brazil had their own popular app amongst themselves, it would have a hard time penetrating other countries.

Then it's equally likely that the poor conversion rate has to do with the destination instead of the traffic source.

I've dabbled with caloric restriction before for brief periods of time. I found that my body adjusted pretty quickly to it in a metabolic sense and the only real issue (and the reason I dabbled but never became a real adherent) was appetite, which I suspect will eventually be solvable via pharmacological means.

Intermittent caloric restriction is also showing promise. You don't have to starve yourself daily -- just a couple of times a week -- to show some of the same benefits. Perhaps not to the same degree, but far more comfortably.

Ask HN: Business Blog
Are there any solutions other than the usual wordpress etc that lets you create a blog for your business and has core features like analytics, commenting etc without any extra bloat.

For personal blog, I like Ghost and have been trying it but for business blogging, there are a few things that matter:

1) Fast and scales well for a few hundred thousand visitors at once

2) Commenting feature but not the bloat of stuff like Disqus (for some reason, I dislike disqus)

3) Analytics. This is very important for business blog.

Sure I could take a managed WP and do all the above but is there a simpler out of the box way ? I would rather spend my time on the business, writing on the blog and not necessarily developing the blog.

Both are used as model organisms, because they are similar in many ways to humans. If both mice and animals show the same result, it is reasonable to expect that it may also occur in humans.
