What are the fees?

Random question: is this how Dwolla does its transactions--through ACH?
Not bad at all. Just turn on the setting to "reduce battery usage" and it falls back (almost entirely) to using the M7 chip and reading cached data periodically.
So what are sizing limits on each "repo" you offer? Unlimited?

I could not find a FAQ-esq section on your page, and was too lazy to "sign up to (possibly) find out".
It's not like the city is just being greedy either. City maintenance is outrageous in NYC and tourists benefit from the city infrastructure while they are here.
It's not the same, in Belgium they got subsidised and they still leave (Ford Genk, ...) :)

That's not the same, they stay in Germany...

PS. That also costed € 144,000 per employee for firing them :)
I don't get why people are turning to a drug, when a Paleo-esque high fat diet may do more than any drug ever would.

Theres a rather popular blog about one dude's struggles with Hep C, and hes been through a Sofosbuvir+GS-5816 trial, but otherwise has been fighting Hep-C with a high fat no grain diet: http://hopefulgeranium.blogspot.com/

Edit: Don't know why people are downvoting me. I'm not even going to hazard a guess on this one. Its a rather scientific blog that frequently links to studies being done on Hep-C, ran by a guy that has Hep-C, and I've been following it for over a year.
I would say nothing has changed in the long run. As new technology has appeared that may make it easier to avoid the interest of law enforcement, so has the technology that law enforcement uses to counter the avoidance.

If you were a part of a criminal enterprise twenty years ago you developed your own film and never use the randomly chosen pay phone more than once.

I would even go as far to say that their jobs of collecting usable evidence is much easier today than it was twenty years ago.
Paying people to pursue an education but they must work for a set number of years for the government or the business that funded their education after they graduate?
To be fair, there is a big red warning box further down that tells you using it with user-supplied data is a very bad idea, and there are flags available to prevent overwriting existing symbols.

None of which the 4chan code actually uses.

I've never seen the utility of extract -- it's the recommended way of getting wordpress plugin parameters, but to me, just using whatever array you're extracting from is always a better solution.
Technology + medicine = huge advancement for humanity.

This really is a frontier that has yet to come to full fruition. I'm all for YC/HN spreading into biology and medicine.

Personally, it is an area I'd like to move towards in my own career. I love web development and technology, but I'd love it more if I could apply it to medicine in some way, to produce a more tangible benefit to humanity.
Would these icons represent data filters or actions?
A while later (hopefully a few years), you tell me it is time to talk. You are not happy anymore and feel it is time to change things. Of course I'll try to convince you. See if we can change something in your job description to make you happier, see if I can get you motivated in different ways. But if we can’t work things out together, if it is simply time to end the relationship, let’s talk about it like adults. Don't come into the office one day telling me out of the blue that you haven't been happy for a while, found someone else and will leave me as soon as possible. And now that you brought it up, why should I pay your full wage if you are only working at half force since you aren't motivated anymore?*

This is really a special kind of deluded. I'm not even sure what else I can say. She's just pretty spectacularly unqualified to deal with people. She seems to think she's buying friends and that because she pays (has paid) them, she owns them.
"Languages are constantly changing"

I agree, so why do we need to study a version that is no longer in use and incomprehensible by the average person? Do you suggest that people go to study the first version of Java to make them a better programmer?
Arbitration is not about justice, it is about the appearance of justice, while being incredibly stacked against one party. Arbitrators are paid by the party that demands arbitration (the corporation eg. cable, wireless, etc). If the arbitrator does not side with the party that is paying their fees, they get called on to arbitrate less and less, until they are no longer employed as an arbitrator. That is a perverse disincentive to ever find against the party paying your fees. It is much cheaper than going to court, and and you win 90% of the time. What's not to love?
That would be a huge win, certainly! But it doesn't necessarily provide protections for the internet. Unless there are protections built into our legal infrastructure, the internet will continue to be whittled away.
Its fantastic that they were able to get the data off. Floppies that old are probably beyond recoverable by ordinary people by now.

You mean infected people with 80k dollars to pay for the treatment :)
The big feature, imo, is it finally implements a new version of SPDY (as Chrome and Firefox are discontinuing the version 1.4.x implements).
I was at a conference with the graduating class at the Naval Academy in 2004. The Chief of Naval Operations was speaking, and my bosses, the Superintendent and the Commandant were with him on stage. He walked into the crowd and started asking people why they thought sailors got out of the Navy. To a T, every soon-to-be Ensign said it was the money, to murmurs of agreement from the crowd of 1000.

Then he saw me. "Let's ask this Lieutenant, back from the fleet, what he thinks. Tell me, Lieutenant Olson, why are sailors getting out of the Navy?"

"They're unhappy people who haven't achieved their goals."

You could hear a pin drop. He quietly, slowly, walked back to the stage and waited a bit. I thought I might be fired. He started talking about the value "division officer records", which is basically Ensigns keeping track of the progress their sailors are making toward their goals.

Inside story of Clinkle
Are you suggesting that a company can't have current valuation based on speculated future returns?
Until there's a viable alternative, it looks like whining.
Exactly, if you are of interest to law enforcement for any reason then everyone on your contact list also becomes of interest to law enforcement.
The existing treatment is a $150,000 liver transplant. In addition to being more expensive than the new drug, it isn't as good a treatment (among other things, anti rejection medications for life).

This drug really brings to focus the various issues and interests involved in developing new drugs. It's a better, cheaper treatment (that cures!) and still the price tag is easy to balk at.
FB hired the team they don't give a damn about the users or the data.
I asked Jim Zemlin -- the Linux Foundation boss -- about Microsoft and if he ever could have predicted this would happen. He just laughed, but I could tell he enjoyed the irony too.

The Linux Foundation handles the Linux kernel, so they have a good track record in that regard. They also have worked on some less-successful (but very well-managed) initiatives like Meego and now Tizen.

The members are big corporations and as a result, the auditing process and outlay of funds isn't something I'd be concerned with.

The greater (potential) concern would be over how the corporate sponsors could influence a project. Zemlin assured me that the SOP is not to interfere with existing operational structures or governances of a project -- so they wouldn't have any impact on how the OSF is run, for instance -- and certainly, in the case of the Linux kernel, corporate sponsorship hasn't dictated Linus's direction of the project.

That said, I think the level of influence a corporation could have over a project is probably directly related to how a project is initially structured. Tizen, as an example, is in partnership with the Linux Foundation, but is largely led by Samsung and Intel. That's totally fine, and was that way by design.

I would be concerned about projects that might not have strong leaders (like Linus). Of course, one could argue that if that's the case, the project might have bigger problems than being co-opted by other entities.

Have you tried runit? If so, could you tell me how it differs from s6? I like runit, but if it's better, it's better.
What did you use to take the screenshot, which handled that size? All my screenshot tools fail around the 5MB limit, which is a PITA when trying to screenshot long pages :(

You could use Dropbox to share?
Are there any open source alternatives? Is anyone interested in building one?
Aww come on bro. Half the fun in these gossip threads is speculation anyway.
So, as cancer is one of the leadng causes of death, your prediction implies that population (especially older population) will increase. Or people will die of other things. That's an important thing to be prepared for (the other thing people die of in first world countries is heart disease).

Anyway, I suspect the future won't be quite so rosy as you predict. Many people have predicted revolutions in cancer treatment, but realistically, we've only made incremental (great, but only incremental) progress.
Airbnb Investor Letter 
I'm trying to find the investor letter Airbnb sends out. I know its confidential, there's an NDA involved, etc etc, but I know that someone, somewhere has that letter that shouldn't. Your anonymity, and mine, are guaranteed, and I will owe you a favor.

The letter I am seeking is the generic investor letter, not specific to any particular VC.

It was most recently given to TPG most likely, based on this:

Lorem Angular – Superheroic Filler Text Framework
Lorem ipsum (the Angular way)
I am quite sure that you don't need steam for a workstation unless you really mean a home gaming/work computer setup.
This is the biggest issue for me. I went to ITT (not getting into that discussion). I have a good job right now and need to work full time. I find that I get filtered out of a lot of job searches for not having a B.S. Since the credits don't transfer to anywhere I would consider attending I'm not sure what to do. I guess the only option is that some universities and local colleges offer online undergad programs. Other than that I don't know where you can go for actual in class learning if you work a standard full time job. The entire "need to work full time and go to school" is how I ended up at private nationally accredited program in the first place and I spent way more money than it would have cost me to go to a community college for 4 years.
I think the website is missing the legal disclaimer "Paid for by Canonical (because we're bitter)".
I have read that LinkedIn will actively solicit your information to people that are near you once they find out where you are, and they will actively take steps to continue knowing who you are, even when you actively took steps to prevent them from finding out (like not logging in, and not accepting their cookies.)

Also they have been accused of dark patterns before, like that would result in people getting e-mail that purports to be from you, when you think you already unchecked the box and asked not to share your contact list.
Even in countries like Denmark, where we don't pay for medical treatment (instead we pay exorbitant taxes), I'm unsure how those in power will prioritize treatment of Hep C.
We're in desperate need of financial aid programs to fill that gap. Perhaps loans with a forgiveness guarantee sponsored by privates companies?

E.g. go to community college, learn a particular skill set, join a company, and that company pays your loans in the event some set of conditions are met (2 years successful employment at the company afterward, GPA minimum, etc.)
In Denmark, students get a sizable stipend (I heard 1000EUR a month).
Nice one!! Thanks for sharing!
PC-BSD Is Developing Its Own Desktop Environment
Don't work for Facebook
If you work for Facebook, please consider leaving.

The Moves acquisition is a big f* you to anyone who cares about privacy; which is a lot of people, though geeky programmers may be the majority of those who are even aware of any issue.

For any change to happen, Facebook needs to understand their actions can have a real negative effect on their business, through damage to their most significant asset - their great engineers. The only ones who can really cause that damage are those who work there in the first place.

Real actions in life have more of an effect than writing interesting posts. You don't have to volunteer at Greenpeace to be an activist.
See this prior NH submission [1], and inthe G+ post he mentions fairly early on why it's important to be very quick in the boot process, and how DHCP figures into that. (TL;DR using VM containers that can normally boot within 100 ms, getting the DHCP server to respond within 50 ms means on-demand container spin-up for a specific request is possible)

Putin says Yandex was largely influenced by foreigners, shares fall by 5%
What really annoys me about this: I don't get a warning when this is happening. I had an account with them and now Facebook owns that data with zero recourse for me.

Sure - the moment I read this, I deleted my account and the app, but who's to say that the data is really gone now and hasn't been copied to Facebook before this?

First they got all my WhatsApp messages and now my Moves data.

No longer can I chose to not share data with Facebook when they can just come in and purchase it after-the-fact. This will certainly make me even more careful whom I'm willing to create an account with.

Up until the WhatsApp and Moves deal, I had this rule that if I pay for it, it'll probably going to be independent because whoever's running it will be able to sustain it.

But now that this is out of the window, what's left as an indicator? How can I use a service if I don't want the data I create/store there to end up at Facebook?
Repectfully, you are incorrect that bounties exist to make it more profitable to disclose than to sell.

Corporate bug bounties will never be able to compete with the budgets of nation states.

They are basically a way of paying respect for a moral approach to a discovery that takes great skill.
Common, shared wired LANs at offices and workplaces are a problem. Home LANs, where family members need privacy from one another, is also a problem.
> built from scratch

With ya up until this. The core crypto code works. The framework around it is aged, crufty, and could use a refactor/rewrite. But tossing the baby out is not useful here. Just wash the kid and put on some new clothes and he'll fit right in again.

LibreSSL is going in the right direction (specific questionable decisions notwithstanding). Hopefully someone will bring over some of that love to the main codebase.
Some countries have other models than the US one. E.g., in Scandinavia we don't pay [directly] for medical treatment.
I've played with Kusaba X... it's exactly the kind of software that people who hate PHP, hate PHP for.

The article mentions that possibly all you would have to do is remove some stem cells at a young age and inject them when you are older. Presumably the cells would be kept alive at very low metabolism so they don't divide much.

Tried free and open-source ThoughtWorks Go. Loving it
IIRC Internet Explorer used to overwrite the shell DLLs which contain a lot of random helpers and stuff that is not strictly shell related but tempting to make your application depend on. I remember this being a frequent source of "app not working, probably works on the developer's machine" type issues, especially in the time period where this was changing a lot.
no limits, let's go for the gold, boys.
I've used it for about 6 months and love it. The UI is really good and battery life is fine for me (but I'm using a 5S with the M7 chip which helps quite a bit).

If you are given a free service you better expect targeted ads at some point.
First, in the real world private registries are used for builds containing source, sensitive keys, and so forth. There is a use case here.

But second, no enterprisey company will use a service that bills like this, because

-$4 and $250 per month all rounds down to zero, so it's not a selling point

-$4 signals no support when the shit inevitably hits the fan

-$4 signals this company will tank along with your data in a month

An enterprise company with actual money will take an hour or two of dev time to boot up one of the open source registries (https://github.com/dotcloud/docker-registry) and stay in control.

I think it really depends on the boss. An less competent boss is not welcome when you have work to do.
I met a woman at the first Quantified Self (http://quantifiedself.com/) conference who was very much into such activities. She wasn't performing the process you described, but she absolutely would be willing. Experimenting with biology in your own homemade closet lab becomes more and more financially feasible everyday.
You can do that with systemd too -- service files are still just ordinary files; they're just "10 lines of info that matters" instead of "10 lines of info that matters + 90 lines of inconsistently implemented boilerplate" :P

liver transplant is not a treatment of hep c, as far as I know, it's a treatment of liver failure as a consequence of chronic hep c (~30% of chronic hep c patients end up in with cirrhosis), the patient still has hep c.
Because sometimes a police goof that goes public may hurt the victim more than the police. Many people would note that the police searched your house for child porn but many may fail to notice the police got a bogus address from a paid informer who needed money.

Plus I believe that stuff is often public knowledge, it's just not collected in an easy to use manner I would imagine.

It's not that warrants are bad, it's just that the abuse of warrants and SWAT being used for trivial warrants makes them seem bad.
I've been toying around with throwing together an open-source clone for a while now. If you limit it to the 5S, the M7 abstracts away a lot of the hard problems you'd otherwise have to solve manually, and you can eliminate the server component by just having a flat-file Dropbox export (a la Nicholas Felton's Reporter app).

Anyone interested in maybe jamming on something like this should definitely drop me a line.
Obviously, it doesn't work, that's why I tried to look if anything got installed at all.
They're throwing good money after bad pretty much.
IMO they should fund LibreSSL + OpenBSD + OpenSSH, bound to get more bang for buck.
I would hope not, as simply extending telomeres is a fantastic way to give yourself cancer.
The Southern Institute of Technology [1] in New Zealand has had free tuition funded by the local city council for over a decade now. The city justified it because the students bring a lot of money into the local economy. Much the same as any government providing a subsidy to a local employer.

I think we should be striving to equip students with the skills they would get at a community college while they're still in high school. You can definitely teach more efficiently, and expecting adults to both support themselves and study full time isn't reasonable.
How much is the shareholders voting on decisions in a democratic way different than the employees voting on decisions?
My wife works for a doctor that handles hep c patients. We had a recent rise in drug activity in my area and she sees new patients coming in all the time. I can't really believe how common hep c is. This is good news and gives some hope that maybe it will be affordable one day. Also medicaid covers this treatment from what I understand.
I figure this is as good of place as any to ask my question: Where can I find someone to hire that is able to write Nginx cofigs well. I have spent literally 40ish hours trying to create a Nginx conf that holds up to my OCD. I have been told numerous times on IRC that I am too picky and clean urls are a challenge to write. I am college student and System Administration isn't even my job! Help!
Just pointing out it's not that difficult to "roll your own" linux distro. It'll take you an afternoon if you haven't done it before... and you can very well choose to keep using sysvinit if you want (my personal distro will use sysvinit probably until the end of the year when I have time to figure out how to integrate systemd).
> In fact, it is actually much worse for an employee to have such long notice periods.
