sutterbomb- thanks for checking it out.

Right now you can either trigger via exit intention (uses mouse detection) or a timer.

Once you have been "hit" with the campaign once, you are cookied (if enabled), so you will not be hit with it again, untill the Kit cycle's through. This setting is customizable as well.

Once you are "cookied" you should see a small tab on the bottom left of your screen, that gives you an opportunity to re-engage with the campaign. Did you see this? http://i.imgur.com/9keLK6h.png

This makes it so you don't annoy the crap out of people :)
If there is ever a company to look at to model your developer relations, Stripe is it. It is really a joy to see the stuff these guys come up with.

However alternate identities also allow for click fraud things and so on.

We don't know exactly why Google guys wanted so much to eliminate faked identities.

So they're just now jumping on the mini-tablet train? Wasn't the time for that like two years ago if they wanted to get into the market? They really need to get their act together and figure out how to be at the front of innovation, not always years behind.
My point was that they should have converted from 1940 dollars, not today's.
I remember when mail-order took a month, if you were lucky. [sigh wistfully for the good ole' days] And there was this round thingy on the phone that hurt my finger if I had to do a lot of dialing.
"Prior discussions of the Parsons story are not confined to Scientology history."

True. I'm just pointing it out because it's a big vector by which a lot of mainstream audiences are likely to have discovered Parsons and his extracurricular activities. Especially in recent years, with "Going Clear" coming out and hitting the charts. My point was mostly that this stuff is not fresh scandal, hot off the presses.
> so they threw out Asperger's, said it wasn't a real mental illness after all, thus postponing the day or reckoning.

Say what you want about Asperger's, but my son has autism and I can assure you it's a real mental health disorder, however many kids might somehow get diagnosed with it.
We have an internal mailing list called "Crazy Ideas". No idea is too crazy.

Greg emailed the list two weeks ago with a proposal for the open-source retreat. The reaction internally was quite positive. He polled open-source maintainers externally to see whether this was something they'd be interested in. The reaction externally was quite positive too.

Greg hammered out the details and shipped it.
Why specifically? History is long, think of Einstein, the person that invented the penicillin, vaccines, the transistor....

Search engines existed before Page, granted not as good but they existed. Google rode the internet explosion, whereas Jobs and (drumroll...) Gates brought a computer in every home.

What he will be remembered is for tainting the Google brand. It was golden, now in many circles they see them as biased, full of ads https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7600532 , deceiving consumers and a behemoth deserving to be taken down. Downhill has started
Comcast can do what it does because Democrats portray the company as a problem with capitalism, while Republicans portray it as a problem with regulation.

In truth, it's both. It's a problem where a company has co-opted well-meaning regulation to snuff out competition, which is a thing capitalist companies do. Meanwhile, citizens point the finger at each other instead of removing Comcast's ability to monopolize.

Either the regulations that make competing as an ISP difficult need to be stripped out (my personal favorite), or the last mile needs to be public property. Either way, Comcast getting to be the only one sitting on that last-mile connection is what has given rise to its stranglehold on the internet.

We need to support fixing this on a local/state level. Support smaller ISPs in their attempts to disrupt the incumbents, and support legislation that actually encourages innovation in the marketplace (even if that means striking policies from the law books).
I'll have to ask him for specifics when I see him again because I wouldn't want to regurgitate inaccurate information, but it's not nearly as bad a job as you might think, and nobody's making near minimum wage. Everybody has hefty pension plans. The drivers tend to make more than the web developers working for startups in my area. Way more.

Nobody gets a promotion based on competence. It's pure seniority. The people that are there the longest get first dibs on better positions. And if somebody can't hold their own and doesn't contribute, you can forget about letting them go. It's almost impossible to fire someone who isn't worth the union wages they're making.

Now that's fine and dandy, I hope lots of folks get nice retirements after working at UPS their whole life. But Amazon is more efficient and will replace these high-wage manual laborers with robots and algorithms, and the union guys will try and use the power of government to stop them.
So, hopefully some OpenSSL developers will apply?

Microsoft dropped branding everything ".Net" like a decade ago. .Net nowadays only refers to the .NET Framework.
The current graph is actively misleading because it misrepresents the data as following a (truncated) normal distribution when that's very unlikely to be the case. A histogram would show the actual distribution.

The kind of graph being used here -- a "best fit" bell curve based on the sample mean/s.d. -- can be useful when overlaid on a histogram, to illustrate how closely the data can be approximated by a normal distribution. Without that context, it's essentially meaningless.

Just looked briefly at Thelema. This appears to be yet another cult around a perfect, mystic founding document, like the Bible or Quran. Regardless of what that document contains, how can you justify originating your epistemology from a text in this way? This seems no different that any other religious ridiculousness.
Note 'impacted' is California jargon for 'super full'.
I'm glad you have a startup working on it. I've long thought fixing this problem would be a true boon to humanity vs. the typical social fad focus of most tech startups. I've even debated doing it myself multiple times over the past couple of years. If your venture needs any help maybe I can pitch in?
My own chat site went down hard within minutes of hitting the HN front page. Hilarious in retrospect.
#2 is actually in the story. Unless you're saying they got the particulars wrong?

Ask HN: What are the technical reasons HTML inputs are impervious to CSS?
Select boxes, radio buttons, checkboxes, etc are often impossible to style unless you want to resort to absurd lengths. I've been dealing with this for years and just kind of accepted it. However, I assume there are some good reasons why. Does anyone know the story behind this seemingly straightforward engineering challenge?

I know the OS comes into play, but, why can't a browser just work around that?
Heartbleed taught us a lot of lessons. Imagery, a good explanation geared to people at all levels of expertise, a sense of urgency. I was impressed at all the attention it received.

It sounds silly, but even a good logo makes a big difference.
As if events like this were happening everywhere back then. Why is this outcome attributed to an unregulated market and not a group of horrible, horrible people?

Unfortunately most people seem to think we need the government to protect us from an unregulated market of employers. But the reality is, we don't. Even during the Industrial Revolution, work-related fatalities were on the decline and the creation of OSHA had little affect on the trend [1].

It's most surprising to me that people in technology on HN make this argument. You see benefits at startups and larger companies like free meals, free transportation, remote work, free cell phones, gym memberships, on-site massages, free Kindles, health care, dental care, 401k matching, and so on.

What percentage of the potential pool of benefits are mandated by the government? I would say an extremely small percentage. So what causes all of these employers to offer such amazing benefits and salaries without anybody from the government telling them to do so? Competition for labor.

Does the messenger change the message?

You still have to evaluate it with a grain of salt, but pointing out that it's a new account and 'oh so suspicious' is pointless.

And, of course, we all have to start an account at some point, why not start one for something you feel strongly enough to comment on?
Agreed, I had the same mistaken impression.
Amazon did in fact try a drive-through facility in Bellevue, WA (a suburb of Seattle) a few years ago where customers could pick up previously ordered items.

jjallen was downvoted, but I thought exactly the same thing. I was full of righteous indignation, which was promptly defused by the actual article.

Maybe you're right. I'll never know because I've read LYAH almost entirely before getting to HF&H.

As a consumer with children, it's a major hassle to go to the grocery store with my kids in tow. It's also unacceptable to wait 2 days to get what I order.

Not sure if someone else picking them for you is the same. Maybe one day we'll reach that level, but I doubt what you suggested is better than putting your kids in a cart, give e candy or toy and shop.
Just the way she handled the whole thing (which seemed like a misunderstanding that just snowballed out of control because of poor handling on both sides) but more specifically this twitter post ... whats the point of doing this exactly?

Its not like she was assaulted and the company was protecting the assailant (then I'd definitely understand her "outing" them). Maybe I'm just being silly, it just feels unnecessarily histrionic.

But for me after seeing this, I'd be worried that if I hired her and she ran into trouble with other employees that couldn't be resolved to her satisfaction, that I and my company would be ensnarled in this kind of PR mess too.
> This seems incredibly one sided. By removing him, you've already brought politics into science. You're wrong, this isn't about politics in science, it's about "the right" politics or "the approved" politics in science.

Ideally people shouldn't be bringing any politics into science. But as sad as it is, sometimes you have to deal with politics to get your research sponsored, funded, and widely accepted. That's reality; please feel free to tilt against that windmill, and more power to you if you can manage to change it.

Meanwhile, there's always going to be a subset of scientists (and affiliated non-scientists good at PR) who serve as the public face of a project, and like it or not, they'll be selected for criteria other than how good they are at science.

As much as you might wish that to not be the case, rejecting it will not lead to the outcomes you desire.

This is closely related to the issue of presentability and fashion. Many scientists and engineers object to notions of fashion and other social patterns that they rather reasonably believe should not matter; that objection is fine. But that then turns into a kind of is-ought fallacious reasoning, concluding that because those things shouldn't matter, caring about them isn't important, or worse yet that actively opposing them is worthwhile. And thus you have the stereotype of the engineer in T-shirt and jeans no matter the occasion. The rational reasoning says "OK, perhaps those things shouldn't matter, but in practice they do matter, so live with that and learn to use it when it benefits you".

When it comes to portraying science (or anything else) in popular culture, many problems are isomorphic to fashion, and like it or not the rational choice is to be fashionable.
In some regard, they were on the front of innovation on tablets, if you definite it as getting tablets out to consumers early on. Unfortunately that burned them for years because the tech was not there, not the batteries, touch screen or OS. This is a better move, especially if affordable and has real pen input, that would make it unique. hopefully it's an 8 inch tablet. That seems to to be the sweet spot for work, weight and portability.
I'll be honest and say I am now beginning to think the same as @trustfundbaby. The situation has turned almost farcical, and without knowing the absolute truth (which we don't) I think it would be a difficult decision to hire Horvath, knowing her persistence.

Nobody can legally admit to it, but behind closed doors I'm sure there would be a lot of managers who would disregard her Resumé knowing what might happen when someone fumbles, or appears to fumble, regardless of who is telling the truth.

Edit: I'll pose it as a question

You are the CEO of a company, and you come across Horvath's C.V. for a position, you are aware of what is happening between Horvath and GitHub. Do you hire her, knowing that an overheard (and likely innappropriate) comment could be all it takes for her to resign and start a PR campaign against your company's culture?
I feel that Google made better, more usable interfaces before they were taken over by designers. Modern designers are obsessed with removing features because that's the Apple religion. The new Maps is ruined because of this. Larry should fire all their designers and let engineers take over the interfaces again.
A lot of them really are small. There is a tendency for Ruby libraries to be separated into "core" and "feature" gems that you can pull in separately, For example, if you want to use DataMapper, you might be pulling in dm-core, dm-rails, dm-validations, dm-migrations, dm-timestamps, dm-postgres-adapter, dm-mysql-adapter, dm-is-searchable…
You're missing the context of this being grocery items. For most people a multiple day wait for their groceries would be unacceptable.

I've been using nginx+memcached for about 2 years on a high traffic site in production. It's been pretty great and runs without a hiccup. However bear in mind that Varnish is far more capable as nginx's memcached integration is fairly simplistic. You'll have to manage all your keys in the application layer as all nginx can do is send a certain request to a certain key and failover if it's not found. Varnish ACLs allow much finer control.

Also, I've come across benchmarks that say Varnish is faster. I just don't want to deal with a complex setup for something that gets the job done. (Job = lower the load on the app server)

This could be the right time for Netflix to move to P2P, so then most of the bandwidth isn't consumed by them, but by their users.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/netflix-switched-p2p-video-str...

It's going to take a lot to fight the likes of Comcast in this one, which means Netflix will also need support from the community - so Netflix, please stop it with the boneheaded DRM push on the web. Guess what, if you are going to use P2P, you're going to need a plugin or native app anyway. So just stop trying to corrupt W3C already in a pointless move that can't and won't stop piracy anyway (which I'm sure you already know).
It doesn't use them to insta-spam an email, which I think is where blacklists go wrong. It gives spam points to the message if the sender is on the lists, which turns them from "blacklists" into "suspicious lists".

If an otherwise normal email happens to come from a blacklisted computer, it'll still have a chance to get through, which is the correct thing to do, in my opinion.

I still believe that everyone has the right to run their own SMTP server, and I dislike that so many places blacklist someone just because they are on a cable modem.
There's very degrading ionizing radiation in space.
You're welcome to apply together. We're looking to maximize impact, and e.g. bringing together a pair who normally work together remotely could be a good fit.
Yea, I have mentioned this before too and I think this article was submitted to HN.
Hopefully not. The heartbleed debacle is going to see that project showered with money and corporate aid. We need to see projects that have absolutely no support but are critical (a lot of the GNU utils are good examples). nginx could probably use some of this goodwill, as can core language compilers, and frameworks like Qt. Albeit Qt is probably a bad example, because you have to sign copyright over to Digia. KDE5 is supposed to be very library portable, it seems like a good place to put Qt extensions businesses are uncomfortable turning over to Digia.
Bad guys must not agree with your assessment of 90% chance of going to jail.
How do you determine that it's a voting ring scenario? I'm not necessarily looking for specifics. Just wondering what the basis is for saying X upvotes came from friends. Or these two people are friends.
Do you want to style checkboxes and radio buttons? You can do this with CSS3... I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do?

Ok, I tried again and now I got a pop up, I guess it's about timing etc. I guess if this works most of the time, it's as good as if it's working all of the time. Will give it a try!
I believe almost all phones in the US now supply GPS info for 911 calls. I remember flip phones 10 years ago having the option in settings to only enable location transmitting for emergency numbers. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RRLP for an example and look up Wireless Enhanced 911 for more info.
As someone who gets Safeway delivery, Google Shopping Express and Amazon Prime, I see Prime as the slower of the options, and recently it's not even been price competitive on many things (example: Cereal).

While I know GSX is still "beta", I'm sure those who have Instacart would agree - same day is awesome, and it's available now in many places (and i don't have to pay $300 per year to participate).
> [And] if some day illumos will succeed Linux, I'm sure people will manage to port their 10 lines of service config over.

It is not ten lines of service config being hard, though, it is grokking a new, ad hoc tech, which is necessary to get the most out of it. I have not a rage against systemd in itself; it is too low level for me to care about, process management that is, yet I'd support, to the last drop of my blood, a standard to cover initialisation. If I have to write an init script/config/whatever one day, I'd rather use a standard format that I can get to work on any system, than an ad hoc, OS-specific technology that I have to re-learn every time I switch operating systems.

You seem to overlook the importance of a process hat supervises other processes. I reckon that it should be so stable, one shouldn't notice it. That is possible if and only if the thing is tested and implemented according to a standard throughout long times.

The Checklist for Choosing the Right Developers for You
I think the times are changing. Perhaps it's you who needs a reality check, but as the world goes along I think it'll become "unacceptable" for a package to take more than a day or two to arrive.

At least that's where I see things going.
A lot of people blame amazon when their package isn't delivered properly already, even though UPS or similar delivered it.
Of course pedantry is fun. Somehow, the way the title is worded grates me.

It manages to imply that anybody who does not find killing patents "fun" is evil. That's the false dichotomy: Either you find killing patents fun, or you are evil.
I'm using ASUS VivoTab Note 8 for a couple weeks now and I'm very happy with it.

It has proper(IIRC Wacom) digitizer and the Atom processor is is handling OneNote touch + web browsing quite well.

The only let down is screen resolution(8" 1280x800), which could be higher, but the screen itself is quit good(IPS, OK visibility in full sunlight & etc)
That's actually not a good sign for future marital bliss.
Youtube is video reddit (or maybe reddit is text and image youtube). It's my understanding that youtube makes a great deal of money.

More generally, reddit is lots of user generated content that gets page views. What makes facebook's user generated content so much more attractive? The user graph? Have they figured out any good way to monetize that?
>I vote for Google over drones

Why is what? Are they any different? Are you balking at the word "drone"? How about "unmanned aircraft", which describes both Google and Facebook's approach? It's not like Facebook will be using the same "drones" the Air Force uses to bomb ground targets.
Apple's Drop in iPad Market Share is a Natural Part of Tablet Evolution
