DNS is not the issue with mail and MTAs. Setting up an MX record is something you can do after googling and reading for about ten minutes. I have only anecdotal evidence to prove this, but that's basically how I set up my own first mail server.

What was a lot more difficult was setting up the actual mailserver itself. Even a simple, two-mailbox-operation was an exercise in frustration when it came to trying to get mail working on a little VPS of mine. Shit, you have to make the sendmail config. How balls-out insane is that?

More recently, there's little working tutorials to get yourself a working dovecot/postfix server, which are relatively easy to understand (thanks, digitalocean!) but I just checked out the first one I found on my google search and it's 2,800 words long. 20 pages if you were to print it out dead-tree style.
I can give you a tutorial on DNS and MX records in much less time than it would take to go through setting up any MTA on linux, and that's the trouble.
Yeah, it's a warning that was passed by ballot initiative. If the initiative had said "Warning: this building is known to contain body thetans" then they'd have to print that on the sign. Welcome to California.
Ask HN: Single Developer Cheap Setup
As a single developer with not too much in terms of financial resources ( I have time,a laptop and an internet connection), what's a cheap setup for developing web apps?
The current precedent seems to indicate that no one can make you reveal your passwords. ASFAIK, the EFF was fighting a similar case on these grounds.
What about a "dead-man's switch" that wipes if the authorized user doesn't authenticate every 30 minutes or so? If network connectivity is lost for too long? And turning it off risks losing resident data on the latest activities of the phone, encryption keys in memory, etc.

I'm by no means a whole-hearted supporter of DOJ's position on this, but I think their opponents are also exaggerating the availability of other options to collect evidence later.
You will also need a mechanism for marking the input as secure which can't be duplicated by a malicious webpage.
I absolutely agree with you that there are a lot of people who will purchase the stock out of emotion just because the stock now seems more "affordable" - but I'm saying those people who enter the market and play on emotion and "gut feel", will be absolutely destroyed by the professionals who have vast amounts of information and insight into what the long term price of these stocks will be. Those "professionals" may blow the occasional call, but, in the long term, over hundreds/thousands of stocks - they will move the market to the the long term "weighing device" valuation.

So, yes, if Apple were looking for a short term bump in AAPL, perhaps a stock split might, just might be the right play - but, for long term valuation, I am struggling to understand why a stock split has any merit whatsoever.

Right, but alcohol is currently legal in most English-speaking jurisdictions. So the places you're referring to are the least relevant to the question of whether alcohol is considered a "drug" by modern humans.
Yes it does and uses standard linux v4l2 interface via the Samsung MFC.
Define superior. Making such bold claims without any proof/examples is very poor form.
Sounds like a plan. Well best of luck with Flickseeker, Fitloop & Wanderdash :)
This is exactly right. "Westerners" has less to do with the exact geography and more with economic indicators including standards living/income. I was traveling with Singaporeans who kept being referred to as "westerners"; it was odd initially, but to the locals it was about the group's purchasing power, expectations of luxury/comfort, and nothing else. It was their way of identifying big spenders from the rest.
Sherpa mean "eastern people" maybe that is why he is referring to everyone else as Westerners.
http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=stock+split has some studies which you may or may not have seen...

We can't really get into Tim Cook's mind or his advisors' but whatever their motivation is, it's not guaranteed it's very rational or scientific.

As you note, what matters for a company's valuation is the discounted (present) value of all their future cash flow (+ their book value). Unfortunately no one knows what that number is because no one knows what the future cash flow for AAPL will be. People know the history, the reported numbers, and they make guesses about what the future value of the company will be. There aren't many business where you can predict with any degree of accuracy into the future and Apple specifically, unlike someone like Coca-Cola, isn't in a very predictable market.

Even if you could predict AAPL future cash flows very accurately you would also need to predict future interest rates to be able to set a multiple on those cash flows to esablish a valuation.

To conclude, just because a lot of investors are "betting" on AAPL doesn't necessarily mean that its share price is a better estimate of its true value. If the market collapses tomorrow AAPL is going to fall just as quickly as the other large and small stocks. No one is going to care what those analysts predict the future cash flow will be. What is true is that it is a lot harder for people to manipulate the share price compared to smaller cap stocks with smaller volumes.
That's a very interesting and insightful angle - If Apple is handing out $50,000 worth of RSUs to new hires vested over 4 years, then currently new hires get 100 shares. While, in theory, a new employee should be fine with 100 shares or 700 shares, human emotion being what it is...

Though -on the flip side - I'm wondering if an employee of any merit has decided not to work for Apple because they got "100 $500 shares" instead of "700 $71 shares"
Yep, you are right. Because all ARM boards supports OpenBSD.

And the PVR GPU on BBB is of course the most friendly GPU.
Before making any conclusions about the role of Everest in this tradgedy, its worth looking at the very similar event on k2 in 2008.

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_K2_disaster

This event had a similar death toll (11x), a similar pysical situation (ice sercac avalanche accross main summit route), and overall was in a place made people similarly nervous for many years.
Have you changed anything about your life in reaction to the MH370 news? Did hearing about a new theory, or possible new piece of floating debris, ever improve your day?
It was very topical when I grew up. Manly because there was a very poorly run mine in my country which turned out to be probably our worst industrial disaster. There were a lot of victims claiming compensation and it entered into popular culture through music such as Midnight Oil's "Blue Sky Mining Company" and books.

The dangers of asbestos had been known for some time but it took a long time for public health to catch up and like tobacco and leaded fuel, the industry worked hard to deny the problem.

I expect the risks from occupational exposure have dropped a lot with replacement products and special handling and safety gear. I have seen suggestions that the next wave of victims would be DIY home renovators.
I like codecademy, but it sometimes not good enough in detecting mistakes.
A New Startup Changing the WordPress Plugin Scenario
Right now only way to find best plugins is through blog posts without actually determining the credibility of the author. And official plugins directory’s search doesn't make any sense. We need some stats to back our assumption and make an intelligent decision, to resolve this we launched a curated plugin directory where we tried to list Only functional, active,efficient and up-to-date plugins.

Constructive feedback is really appreciated.
> For the foreign climbers, to go home now will mean forfeiting most or all of the fifty to ninety thousand dollars they have spent to be guided up Everest.

> Among the Sherpas’ demands are that the government […] require the guiding companies to pay Sherpas their salaries, even if they call off the remainder of the 2014 Everest climbing season;

So basically if a guiding company calls an expedition off they don't even have to give a raincheck, but they withhold the Sherpas pay? That seems predatory even if you workers are not dying like flies!
OnePlus is Google CTS. The One comes bundled with Google Apps.
Video codecs patents aren't OK. They are one the worst things used to keep the Web locked into proprietary technology. And not only the Web. It's clearly an anticompetiive tool of control, and not a way to return investments spent on innovation.
Stephan Wolfram Stanford Seminar
Since you work in the field, could you please recommend some free dataset for facial recognition?

I was trying to train an LBP classifier (mostly for fun), but I was disappointed to find out that I couldn't get my hands on some large dataset.

In particular, I was hoping to find not only a training dataset with the cropped frontal faces, but possibly also side faces, and then a large benchmark dataset that I could use as well to test the recognition accuracy.

It makes me mad to think that such datasets come basically for >free< for companies such as Facebook, but I couldn't get my hands on a free one that I could use to improve the OpenCV classifier...
Making such overcomplicated nonsense while still having it sound good is a great achievement. My hat is well and truly off.

You really, really really should get a modular synthesizer involved for the next project. Fire packets directly into the CV inputs at ±12V and see what happens. Or run linux inside the instrument itself...
Designer Duds: Losing Our Seat at the Table
> If you start copying the enemy's tactics, they have a way of making it look like you started it.

Not merely copy, copy then adapt. I think they were not aware of the hypocrisy, merely highlighting it is often enough to stop people in their tracks.

> If they're putting bugs in the code to generate money-making after-hours calls, then they'll accuse you of doing it.

It wasn't a software house, it was an optometrist. They were passing off another optometrist's varifocals as their own. If they were caught, it would be impossible to accuse me of doing it. I worked in the front office dealing with paperwork, I am not optically trained (it's equivalent to studying medicine) and I was not involved in purchases, only sales.

> If they're bullying you, they'll very quickly and loudly call you the bully if you reciprocate in any way. Although they're monitoring you closely, they'll soon notice and single you out if you try it on them.

Who said I was going to resort to bullying, I'm referring to implicit blackmail, level out the field. Suggest the possibility via suitable questions and rhetoric, but never mention it directly. Regarding any kind of monitoring, the higher ups weren't monitoring the workplace effectively, which is partly why this kind of behaviour occurred. The surfacing section at the back of the building was highly inefficient and the problem was rarely discussed, let alone addressed. There were several people who didn't do any work at all, that's mental inefficiency. I was once asked to keep quiet regarding some of my co-workers drinking beer on site. The higher ups would smoke cigarettes inside the building, again asked to keep quiet (smoking indoors at work was banned in Britain the previous year, and the place was stocked with gallons of methanol and white spirit, BOOM).

> They'll then present the publicly visible aspects of their own harassment as a proportional response to yours, hiding the full extent of their own, the fact they started it, and how tolerant you were of them at first.

One colleague used to shout "FUCK OFF" at me on average three to four times a day, in front of a dozen witnesses. Not everybody at that place was a cunt, some of them were cool. Sometimes the phone was left off the hook, so his bad behaviour had been heard by the customers on several occasions. There is simply too much evidence lying around.

> You don't just decide to copy and adapt their tactics one day - the enemy have spent their entire lives honing their own skills in hypocrisy, bullying, whitewashing, and fleecing you of money.

In this case, the enemy was incredibly retarded. Another colleague once asked me to spell "claustrophobia" when she was sitting in front of a computer connected to the internet. One of the delivery men thought that the computer wasn't connected to the internet.

Oh, here's the best bit. I once saw a photograph of the marketing manager sporting black face paint, a wig and a garish looking poncho (he was dressed as a rasta, he looked fucking stupid), snorting cocaine. With hindsight, I wish I had just grabbed it and run to one of their customers down the road.

Welcome to the world of ecommerce software.
Thanks! You as well with your plans.
The less mature piece of the puzzle for that is service discovery.

So instead of your apps having hard coded endpoints, they go to some config file, zookeper, etcd to find the services. Your config management piece can register endpoints with the same directories as they come online.

An alternative is just to register with a load balancer dynamically.

This bit does take work but it gives your system a very nice dynamic fungible property.

Happy to discuss more offline with anyone as I'm a massive advocate of docker now! Same username at Twitter.
> It’s hard to sustain a bubble for four years.

Says who? As Wilson observes, "Since the financial crisis of 2008, policy makers in the developed world have kept interest rates at or near zero. They have flooded the market with cheap money in an attempt to heal the wounds (losses) of the financial crisis and incent business owners to invest and grow their businesses." It's kind of amazing that he doesn't see how years of unprecedented coordinated central bank action could drive and sustain bubbles.

> It’s been a good time to be in the VC and startup business and I think it will continue to be as long as the global economy is weak and rates are low.

As an investor, there is no doubt that DFTF and BTFD has been very profitable, but the implication that a weak global economy and low interest rates is essentially responsible for sustaining the good times should be disturbing to anyone with exposure to the venture capital asset class given what it is supposed to represent.

Incidentally, I think it's somewhat amusing that VCs are asked the "Are we in a bubble question?" in the first place. When you ask market participants who can only play the market in one direction using a single asset class, you tend to get the least insightful answers in my opinion.
Haskell is not a great language for programs that need to fit within tight memory or latency limits. It's also slower in some cases than C/C++, but it's definitely competitive with other high-level languages. Other than that, it's pretty excellent for everything.
String interpolation is wrong in a world where there are so many variants of escaping strings. It is not useful for templating HTML, SQL, CSV, JSON, XML.

This only leaves us console programs and backdoors. I'm happy to give these two up for a stronger language.

That dead man's switch sounds like a great way to wipe your phone every time you take a nap.

Regardless, if the hypothetical possiblity that some incredibly uncommon dead man's switch exists is justification for this sort of search, then only allow that sort of search if the police have some sort of reasonable suspicion such a switch exists.

It's analogous to how unwarranted home searches are permitted only if an officer reasonably believes there's imminent destruction of evidence - we don't just allow all home searches without warrants because somewhere out there someone might destroy evidence in their house.
I have used cm before and would trust them enough to buy a product like this. But the phone is too big though. My 4" moto g is perfect.
While I can see his need, I think we should take a look at (modern) mobile tech and it's inception.

0) Smartphones and PDAs from days of yore requiring styluses (or a very skilled digit) and low resolution screens.

1) The iPhone which had a higher resolution screen with increased hit target sizes to support finger-based multi-touch input.

2) Androids, BBs and WinPhones released afterwards with generally the same limited screen real estate and same multi-touch finger input.

3) More recent high-res smartphones, iPads and other devices that could reasonably support several "screens" simultaneously, but due to supporting existing App Stores, kept the same UI guidelines.

Multiple "windows" on the same device only really make sense if you're on an iPad or larger touchscreen and even then only really if you're using a stylus since one hand will be holding the device 75% of the time you're using it. Also fitt's law would suddenly make those nice edge-positioned buttons that an App placed into very frustratingly small hit targets. Other considerations - how would you support Android's "back" button without cause a hell of a lot of confusion?

The point at which multiple screens makes more sense is if you have a keyboard case on a largish tablet. At this point, it's effectively a netbook and could be running a real desktop OS (Macbook Air 11" / Chromebook).
As a surfer, I get up 1h15m before sunrise regardless due to winds. I'd be getting up at 4:00 am tomorrow without DST. This sounds awesome until you realize I'd have to go to bed at 9, and most people are still up at 9.

It keeps the outdoors set (including construction, aviation, farming and landscaping) in sync with the indoors crowd.
You can change VLC's output target to the terminal. From what I understand it's only written single-threaded so it lags horribly.
I have a little model Stirling engine that sits on my desk at work, something I built as part of a machining class in college. It still amazes me how lathes, drill presses, and mills, machines that perform such simple tasks, can transform raw materials into complex parts with tight tolerances.
Moore's law. You can get a twice as powerful device in two years time. Also, who knows what the smartphone world will look like in two years time.

Reverse the question: Why don't manufacturer only support it for 6 months, or until the next phone comes out? What is preventing that from doing that?

What you're describing sounds more like a combination of better HW (bus, components) and SW (operating system). I agree, IBM delivers superb systems.

However: are there any inherent limitations in the x64 architecture which would make it impossible to achieve the same as with POWER, if you designed it from scratch for that kind of robustness?
I think if you just consider Economy/Coach class, it is boarded back to front, after the 1st and business classes board first.

No matter what order I'm told to board, I usually wait until the last group, as I'd rather sit in the lounge and stretch my legs for 5 more minutes than in a cabin that feels all the more claustrophobic because of everyone standing in the aisles and reaching over me.
This may sound subjective but at least in my opinion when the rate of IPOs starts to rapidly increase and the companies behind those IPOs don't really seem promising, then you begin to worry about a bubble. Back in the 90s it seemed like if your company wasn't going IPO something was wrong.
European software companies do [ab]use patents widely - a historically sensitive example is Fraunhofer institute (Germany) and patents on their invention of the mp3 encoding methods; it brought significant revenue for them, making them competitive; and the patent restrictions also had significant effect on the music software&device market.

> There is no "completely new".

I tend to agree with you, the language I know best is one thousand and one years older than me. (N.B. I am nearly 100001 years old).

Hmmmmmm, You mentioned COBOL, I can't remember the last time somebody mentioned the word COBOL on HN. Ooh, you made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
I would like to think so too, yet if you suggest e.g. using Perl or PHP on HN you'll have the typical backlash of "But why not Ruby or Python or etc. it's so much newer and better"

This has been my personal observation since following HN for the past few years.

This is pretty spot on. We in the SFBA don't think about rates much but in a past life it was all I did. The moment the markets price in a long term expectation of rates rising, a lot of the current behavior we are seeing (eye popping salaries/valuations/home prices/rents) will correct themselves. It won't mean the businesses are bad - just that they're priced less richly. Until then, they are making hay while the sun shines and they're probably wise to do so.
I thought this was supposed to be a list of things to learn _before_ learning Haskell but most of these are things you obviously have no idea what they are if you don't know at least a little Haskell.
Honestly I think this could be a good thing, I have always been a bit hesitant to try out local shops' juices because I just don't know what is in them. I even stick mostly to a certain vendor because their glass containers only policy make me feel a bit more comfortable.

Obviously everyone is worried about the application process being too difficult for smaller vendors, but if they handle it similar to how they've done with craft brewers than I think we'll be okay.
Chocolatey actually has been arround a long time... It was one of the first concepts that wrapped Nuget arround itself to install software packages.
