Excuse the plug, but I’m Tim Ragan the CEO of TissueVision. We’re the MIT startup who developed the microscope technology responsible for all the mouse brain images in the Allen Connectivity map that you see here.

We’re thrilled to have been a part of this groundbreaking project. If you’re excited about this sort of science too, drop me a line. We’re hiring talented developers who can push not just the microscope technology but also the super cool bioinformatics just waiting to be mined from these and other projects.

The meth observation extends to other fields. I think it would be included in any last ditch effort to save [x] from the terror of a realized [y] in space. The first few times you do meth and apply yourselfto a task or series of tasks you are a golden god, especially if you have native talent or gained wisdom.

If an airline can't differentiate between a teenager goofing around and a credible threat, then that's the airline's fault. A girl posting nonsense on twitter getting arrested just shows that "the system" is inhuman and it just chews people up and spits them out. I won't be surprised at all if this girl gets a long prison sentence and her life gets ruined. Nor will I be surprised when legions of pundits come out of the woodwork exclaiming it wasn't punishment enough, and all the copycats should be treated the same way.

The thing is, if you think for 30 seconds about the problem of defending infrastructure from crazy people, your best bet is to lurk where crazy people congregate, and keep a finger on the pulse of the ones who are poised to "do something". How often do these people actually make a threat? Don't they normally just execute the attack? Of course, even this is imperfect, and the best response is to rebuild when something gets blown up. Hurricanes happen, earthquakes happen, crazy people who hate you happen, and in every case your best "revenge" is to just outproduce entropy.

Overreaction to human threat is a symptom of a much deeper illness, and one that plays directly into the hands of real terrorists. The lives and treasure lost on 9/11 was trivial to the number of lives and treasure we've spent trying to prevent the unpreventable. We could have built the Twin Towers 10,000 times over for the money we've spent on war and the TSA and the NSA. It's fucking stupid, and I'm tired of it.
It's nice to see the side of investors that still have a passion for startups so much so that they feel sad when they reject people.

It often feels like noone in that world has empathy.

For the ones getting rejection emails tonight don't sweat it. I got into YC on my Third try and it was worth every rejection.

We're building a company now and spent months getting rejected about raising a seed round before suddenly becoming one of the "hot" companies with investors and being in a position to turn the same people who were turning us away down for a change.

All this to say Sam is right. If you're working on something, there is traction and/or you truly believe in it don't give up.

The only validation to worry about at this stage of the game is user validation.

Talk to Users. Write Code.

Best of luck with whatever you're building and if I can ever be of help feel free to email me (email in profile)

In order to know this they must have stored and subsequently analysed the ssl traffic. Something that I would think is quite unusual. So the true scope of data theft is probably much larger.
This appears to have spawned from 4chan, though I don't have the screenshots to verify it (reddit.com/r/4chan probably does)
It's fine if you don't want to tell people since there are legitimate reasons not to. But this is mostly a cop out.

We know that YC application reviewers make notes and obviously do some sort of internal ranking. There may be cases where better startups just push slightly "worse" ones down, but there's obviously some startups that are passed over for specific reasons that YC knows about. I guarantee most of these reasons/notes would be very useful for an early startup.

Too bad they'll never know.
No.
There is a huge difference between a threat and a credible threat.
I know that they have to take things seriously, but the entire thing is teenagers throwing eggs because they could see it wasnt credible from the first second, and teenagers love to throw eggs.
It's the risk of the credit card charge, not necessarily the actual transfer of money itself to the merchant. It takes likely takes Stripe a few days to get the money, and in order for them to operate the way they do (sign up and charge cards right away), they eat the risk of rogue merchants and other issues like chargebacks.
>100% of the proceeds will be offered to security researchers. Any leftover funds will be passed on to the OpenSSL Software Foundation. Bugcrowd will administer the bounty at it's own expense.

While I applaud these kinds of efforts, shouldn't there be a single point of focus (i.e. the OpenSSL Software Foundation) for fundraising?
Do you find this applies to other tasks that may or may not be code/electronic related? Do you feel THC is a performance enhancer is i guess my core question. And if so, do you think it applies do you think it is limited to certain activities?
Yup, as part of the cert re-issue, we revoked the previous cert. Could have been more explicit there, sorry.
One note:

> Racket's default IDE is better than GHCi and probably on par with Emacs (you almost certainly can configure Emacs to be better than anything, but it's not trivial and people don't bother, while DrRacket provides autocompletion and documentation out of the box).

Last I used it (a few years ago), DrRacket was very laggy, so I would find it very hard to use for a serious project. YMMV, maybe it's improved.
14-year olds making stupid jokes on the Internet now results in international arrests.

After her initial tweet, the 14-year old apparently spent several hours on Twitter begging AA for "forgiveness", but the FBI ruined her life all the same.

>“I’m so sorry I’m scared now. I was joking and it was my friend not me, take her IP address not mine.”

>“I’m just a fangirl pls I don’t have evil thoughts and plus I’m a white girl"

>"I was kidding pls don't I'm just a girl pls."

Apparently the FBI was even more scared of her than she was of the FBI, judging from the measures it took.
I'm not undervaluing the development opportunities. For $1,500, you can also get an idea of its capabilities and tinker with your own Android apps. The prospect of doing that in a green field (the way iOS felt 6 years ago) again is worth the cash.
Wait so what's the advantage of this over the free adapter your laptop came with? It says its smaller, and yes it does look marginally smaller (not enough to make a difference to me personally), but is that it? You can charge another USB device with it, but my Surface Pro charger offers that too. Am I missing some other USP that would make it worth buying this as an upgrade? I can see this being useful when licensed to laptop manufacturers, but not as an aftermarket upgrade.

YC chooses applicants by rank-ordering the list and interviewing the top N candidates.

Thought experiment: What's the difference between candidate N and candidate N+1? Likely, they are nearly identically good. What could you possibly tell candidate N+1 about why they weren't selected?

There are almost certainly no red flags, or any specific thing you can point to that caused them to fall under the line. Any feedback you gave candidate N+1 you'd also want to give to candidate N who did get the interview.

If you're saying that YC should give generalized "how to be a better startup" advice to everyone who applies, I'm afraid the time requirements for that are unrealistic. There aren't obvious reasons why most applications are rejected, and giving more nuanced advice is really hard.
I thought that sentence was referring specifically to vulnerable certificates.
I keep flipping back and forth, thinking I don't get it, then thinking others don't get it. Single-threaded JS with callbacks. OK? What am I missing?

The only thing Node has going for it is a lot of networking libraries. It's not fast, the async style leads to callback hell, JS is a terrible language, and their package management system is slow and bloated (or at least the packages are)[1]. Yet people think it's some new kind of thing that's just so awesome, despite MS doing server-side JS in the mid-90s.

Sure, people can use whatever makes them happy. I'm just confused as to why anyone is particularly impressed with Node or JS.

1: Seriously, to automate builds, I ended up saving the node_modules directory then symlinking it in to the build environment. Otherwise a simple CSS/JS/etc. grunt build took 15 minutes instead of 1. And it seems every module pulls in its own copy of dependencies, so you end up with 300-character deep paths. There's no apparent reason it needs to be like this.
I've done my best to protect against these too with both babysitting process timeouts and as a last line of defense, ulimit "limits".

Thanks for sharing those utterly evil examples though! :D

Ask HN: Worlwide SMS provider?
Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a good web-based SMS provider to use?

I really, really like the look of twilio and it seems to be the gold standard but it doesn't fully support New Zealand.

I'm wondering what the best & most cost effective options are for New Zealand and Singapore? Doesn't necessarily need to be a short code but must support replies.

Thanks
I've never had a issue with tmux and vim. What are you talking about?
I've gone through more of these than I can count. They've all ended as victories, but that's just because my luck hasn't changed yet.

Thanks for messaging this up, angersock. Double thanks if you're one of the kind souls who shields delirious coders from having to communicate with stakeholders.
I wish I'll be able to understand how the brain really work before dying. I have the feeling that a deep understand of the brain will open scary and amazing opportunities in AI.
Will we be notified regardless of our application's status?
No, presenting a certificate that has been rekeyed does not mean that the old certificate stopped being cryptographically valid.

In fact the old cert will always be cryptographically valid, which is why a separate revocation list has to be created as a positive acknowledgement that the old cert, though valid, should not be trusted.
It's disgusting to see how differently the MSM spins astro- turfing when it's an anti-gun campaign, as opposed to something like the tea party.
We were acquired.
while the problem is wide spread, it is no where near enough to say "all certs after 4/10 are suspect"

There are an ever larger number of certs not impacted by this event.
For all that you've heard about the disaster side, there's also a huge number of sites that weren't affected. Whitelisting wouldn't help much.
Seems reasonable, we didn't have to update anything as Centos 5 was using an earlier version without the bug.
It depends on what you're going after, but if you're just targeting a local subnet, that's what a "man-in-the-middle" attack is for.

What is probably easier is somehow redirecting the DNS entry for the target site to point to your malware-serving site, which has happened before as well.
I went to the fridge today to get a Diet 7Up, and took it upstairs to my office and opened it up and drank it and it was Diet Root Beer. Also my iPhone turned into a cat.

So prank calling 911 or pretending to rob a bank would be cool too?
False positives are a problem for a Bloom filter. You could conceivably create one for a given registrar, though, which could in theory create a Bloom filter, iterate through all the certs it has issued, and then list out the certs that the Bloom filter issues false positives for, but are still valid. However, it's too late to put that into play. Nobody ever expected to have to revoke this quantity of certs. (In hindsight, that was obviously wrong. Something like this was going to happen someday. But this is exactly the sort of thing that's very easy to argue away, because nobody wants to be convinced that this amount of work will be necessary.)

Dear Web Developers: EFF Needs Your Help
Rejection is inevitable. If you're not rejected now, somewhere down the road you will be. If you haven't been rejected, get practice in getting rejected. If you have been rejected, feel the frustration and use it as motivation to prove whoever rejected you wrong.

The best analogy I can find for this is that applying to YC is like trying to pick up a girl or asking her out on a date. (I know many of us have yet to try, too). Get over the fear of rejection, and put yourself out there. Will your way to success. YC is like the smartest, most beautiful woman with the amazing personality everyone falls in love with (well, there's always the haters). Don't give up. Exercise, eat right, sleep, and strive to be better. You never know, one day that beautiful woman might actually say yes.

(To all the women on HN, replace girl/woman with guy/man and beautiful with handsome.)
I'm not quite sure what you were expecting to happen - here the template just recurses, but as a run-time recursion. GCC and the explorer handle it just fine.

Doing the more usual template<N-1> trick lets you hit the -ftemplate-depth limit if you pass, for example ZVTemplate<2048>. It still works ok though :)

Please do let me know if you can find a "poison" input...although at the moment the site is pretty busy just through sheer weight of users, so it's hard to tell I know!

Thanks, Matt
I always think about the bubble groups. Darn it would suck to right on the bubble. Maybe they could create a separate, remotely managed cohort of bubble groups, that are adopted by HN.
Oh dear sorry for the oversite. It's a dime. We will update it now.

Even Recreational Marijuana May Be Linked To Brain Changes
We don't want to drive more corporations out of the US, but if the feds actually think they are losing $300 Billion in revenues each year, why not go after the Fortune 100 and their offshore shenanigans rather than 100+ million poor schlubs who might owe a few more bucks here and there. That is the major problem I have with the current tax system - Jane/John Sixpack don't have the "opportunities" that corporations do when it comes to taxes, yet every year around this time we hear hit pieces against the American people like this that we aren't paying our fair share. Nonsense.
I agree, buying more hardware can not fix everything.
There are tons of bugs which are easy to describe in prose, and for which such an explanation can easily allow someone familiar with the codebase to be able to reproduce or even fix it right off the bat, but which would be quite difficult or even impossible to create an automated test for that could reproduce it in a way that the bug tracker could check.

It might be nice for bugtrackers to offer an optional system that allows you to submit an automated test case, which could be run in some kind of sandbox, and bugs that were easily reproducible would be marked as such and could get more attention. But anything that simply discarded all other bugs would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater; you would simply not hear from your users as much, on lots of important issues.
Uber doesn't demand I give them an archival copy of all my identification to use them. (AirBnB might, I wouldn't know because I wouldn't ever use them.) The difference between these companies--or ones I actually use--should be quite obvious, but I get that the Disingenuous Bitcoin Guy schtick is powerfully tempting.

(And I have never had my passport copied by any hotel.)
They might have turned on that logging when the bug was announced so that they'd have an idea of the threat they were under while updating.

>If an airline can't differentiate between a teenager goofing around and a credible threat, then that's the airline's fault.

I don't really want the airline making that assessment because they don't have the people/experience/knowledge/training/ability to accurately assess that threat. I would rather them make the time-wasting call to the FBI and have the FBI on record and clear it. The situation is dumb, but sometimes you have to follow procedure for dumb situations. It's easier to cover your ass than change our litigious and terrorism-fearing society, so while I agree that it shouldn't be necessary, it unfortunately is.

That said, AA's twitter response was dumb and they'd be dumber if 'respond publicly to any threats' was the status-quo.
The "limited housing stock we have" makes it sound like they own the houses and apartments in question.

Great question. We will be releasing in under a month. There's still a couple of things we want to roll out so expect a bit of trickle for a month.
This looks very much like the Rommoss car charger. I have one for my laptop. This gets its source from 12V DC instead of AC, but the rest works the same. Usb port and automatic voltage sensing circuitry. You just need a specific cable for whatever you're charging. Plug in a standard usb cable to charge your phone, you get 5V. Plug in an adapter cable for your Dell laptop, get the desired 19V (or whatever your laptop needs).

While it is true that PAYE is capped at 10% of AGI, if you have an average medical school debt and are making a resident's salary, your payment will be less than your interest accrued each month. PAYE does nothing to cap your interest.

Further, implying that Doctors are willfully ignorant of loan financing options is...interesting. All Federal borrowers are required to complete exit loan counseling upon graduation from medical school. That counseling includes discussion of the various repayment options (Standard, Extended, ICR, IBR, PAYE, and forbearance).

That's a very cool way to think about it. Kind of like aliens finding my Core i7 CPU and announcing they had replicated its transistor network ... except for all they can do is run power to it and they have no idea how the RAM, GPU, or any I/O works.

You have to start somewhere though.
The funny thing is, I was flying United and even though apparently you're not allowed to say the word "bomb" on a plane, they are happy to show a movie that glorifies terrorists ("The Company You Keep") as inflight entertainment.

It seems like violent metaphors or even threats of violence, are only tolerated when they come from the far left.
Replay frameworks are common in the systems community; the trick is to capture and record non-determinism somehow.

While I was in college, I was put on a committee to choose a new Director of Admissions. One of the internal candidates said during his interview: "There is a good reason that everyone who is accepted gets in, but there is not a good reason why people are rejected."

It many ways that seems obvious. To get in you have to have something going for you. To not get in you don't have to do anything wrong, you just have to not have a thing that does get you in. It would be just as hard for my college to write high school seniors a letter saying, well, you were 2nd in your class and had a 1500 but noting stood out as would be for YC to write people direct feedback at scale. What would it really mean? How do you action that? No special sauce isn't really feedback. You can't point to anything wrong other than you can't point to anything great.

This has proven true for me in the admissions processes I've gone through on the other side: whether at a consulting firm, or Stripe, or Standard Treasury, or Echoing Green (I read semi-finalist apps). Most people self-select to apply for good and just reasons but some people really excite you and some people don't. Some people just have that something special, and the people who don't don't really have anything wrong with them.

So to me this commentary rings true and is honestly put.

I think once people understand how these devices are useful, social norms will begin to emerge, just as they have for other technologies.

For instance, the car-phone. Well, now the cell phone. Generally, we understand now that driving while on the cell phone is not a good thing to do. It took 10-15 years of slow driving, cops thinking people were drunk but instead just talking, and fatal accidents before we began to understand the link and creating laws.

And it goes the other way. In the 80's and 90's, beepers were not allowed in schools because "that's what drug dealers used to sell drugs." Virtually every teenager has a smartphone, capable of way more communication than a 1 or 2 way beeper did. They - probably still enforce the beeper rule today even though drug deals happen on cell phones way more than beepers these days.

Actually getting to my point, Glass wearers that wear them into Strip Clubs, high class or pretentious bars, or other private gatherings where it has grabbed headlines for being a problem are learning this the hard way. Google's enemies would pay for bad Glass press all day every day. And I'm sure they do.

Wearing Glass today is stepping into uncharted territory. You have to be more sensitive to the capabilities of the device simply due to the environment and people's expectations (You are wearing an NSA face drone!). My guess is, if you understand what and why you are wearing it and you use some judgement it won't get you into trouble.

Why do they need to arrest the girl? Certainly if they show up to her house they can tell she's not a terrorist.
Yeah, I guess what I'm looking for is something more similar to this... Thanks!
