Well, some copies are good, some are bad. I think it depends how much problem they solved and how much improvement they contributed. The best always be copied by others.
If you like the movie reviews on The Incomparable podcast (the recent WarGames episode, for instance), perhaps you'll agree with me that there should be a web site/app that offers full-length, fan-created movie commentaries that can be played while viewing the movie.

Business model should probably be subscription (who wants spot ads thrown into the middle of their movies?) or something simple like $1 per commentary. The service should seek out talent to create the commentary tracks and pay them for their work.

Careful, disk encryption usually doesn't cover the entire disk. So an attacker can place an evil initramfs in the /boot partition that stores away your disk encryption passphrase, for example.

This is even easier if the operating system partition is plaintext and only the data partition is encrypted. Then it's trivial to modify any binary, library, or startup scripts!

Encryption just means an attacker cannot get at the data right away. But once the admin brings up the system again (not knowing something has been tampered with) it's pretty easy to get access.
An issue tracker for freelancers and small teams that is designed to be used collaboratively with clients, without burdening clients with unnecessary detail.

Clients see a list of user stories or other deliverables and can discuss, and file issues and bugs against them. Developers can track their own bugs, finer-grained tasks and issues privately. These two sides of the software are linked for the developer, i.e. as a developer I can add detail and break down a client request into smaller stories without exposing the client to the gritty details, and keep track of which client request(s) different issues and stories are related to. Also useful for filing issues the client doesn't need to know about, say, bugs I find before they do :)

The problem this solves is that I have to maintain two issue trackers, one focused on user stories and features (usually a google spreadsheet), and another for more technical tasks and bugs (usually pivotal tracker). I want to keep it all in one place. I would be surprised if this doesn't already exist, but I haven't been able to find it.

Let us not also forget that Samsung was one of the main suppliers for iPhone and to an extent still is. The real loss is not for Apple in here, they are just worried they could not monopolize the smartphone but the real victims are the Motorolas and HTCs which did not lets say "push the boundaries", and Palm and Microsoft which had a fresh take on Mobile OS. To say that Samsung is cornerstone for today's diverse market is a bit disingenuous, there would have been other players.

I saw a suggestion on reddit once that you can canvas your neighborhood to get proxy votes for any HOA meeting. Using the proxies, you can bring forth a motion, second it with one of the proxies, and then (typically) win the vote. So the marketing campaign could push this idea to frustrated HOA members.
You give Amazon your ID number. They do a lookup on the ID when you place an order to receive the current mailing address. It would apply to everything, so you give all of your friends and family your mailing ID. Anytime they want to send you something, they run a lookup on the ID (enter it into a website) and get your current address.

It's similar to a website. If HN moves to another server, everyone doesn't have to update their bookmarks to point to a new IP address. Instead, they visit the same URL as always, and it automatically sends everyone to the new IP.

OP doesn't use GitHub if I read his/her comment correctly.

However... having multiple remotes is a very easy way to get multiple distributed backups of your code. (You should do a "git fsck" on all your mirrors at least semi-regularly. The reason has to do with how push and --mirror work.)
"please", a command-line interface for natural language commands. So, like Siri, but for your terminal. Ie:

$ please push the changes i've made today to the master repo
$ please archive this directory into foo.zip
$ please clone the bootstrap repo from github
$ please find any files under ~/ matching 'foo-*.txt' and containing 'bar'

Sure, all of these can be expressed using CLI tools we have today, but isn't it time we had an interface layer that abstracts away all of the fiddly switches and just did what we said?

It would offer a pluggable interface for extending its capability and vocabulary.

Not sure about the original commenter, but yes - strongly.

American culture is tied up with this idea of individualism, probably because it aligns well with capitalism and the idea of social mobility.

I think there is a selective pressure for cooperation and it's probably why humans are one of the most social animals. The species is more likely to survive working together than in each individual's own self interest. I'd suspect in earlier/more tribal human times people within the group that did not cooperate for the benefit of the group would have faced social consequences as a result.

While you may get scale issues or tragedy of the commons situations when the entirety of the group is not known or seen I think these cases are more the outliers rather than the norm. Maybe it's because human communication scales poorly for larger systems (could be still optimized for smaller tribal kind of groups).

No idea if any of this is true, but I've always had an issue with the generic economic assumption. There's some irony that if you look at the market it's hardly rational - massive swings based on emotion and speculation, not unlike everything else.
One problem. People what spend $300 on a keyboard are quite familiar with computers. This is the same group of people that types and uses shortcuts without ever looking at their keyboard, so the benefit is highly reduced.
The "discrepancy" you are oh-so-desperately trying to invent is, if anything, the difference between a racist culture that has dominated a nation, and reactions to that racism.

See other replies to the post you've replied to: threads in Python can be "parallel", if one of the threads releases the GIL. This can happen during calls to I/O, or more generally, any C call that decides to release the GIL. Most of the time, you're doing I/O anyways, so it suffices. If you're not (you're truly doing computation), then there is multiprocessing.

I've thought about something similar but get hung up on data entry. How do you make it not miserable to get food purchase data into the app, given that food doesn't have an RFID tag in it, and not everything (produce) has a barcode? I like the receipt idea - partner with grocery stores to print a qr-code with a machine readable list of items and (maybe) expiration dates. Having to do any kind of manual scan on each item I bring home from the store feels like too much behavior change to become part of my everyday routine. Maybe there's an opportunity to do it for institutional kitchens where inventory is required by default?

It would be fun to build the fitbit and basis integrations. Also, Randall Munroe offered a different approach: http://xkcd.com/1109/ :)

Ok, when people start racing to post these at midnight, and beg for upvotes, this experiment has jumped the shark. I'm going to bury this post and ask you all not to post more of them.

Only one account (whoishiring) is allowed to make regular feature posts that we don't kill as duplicates. (That's to prevent race conditions.) Should we make this "Idea" thread a regular feature? I've thought about it. I think the answer is no.

Experiments are worth trying, but this one has gone on for a month now and I don't think it has cleared the bar [1]. Having all these ideas in one place makes the whole less than the sum of its parts. The threads seem to have gotten less interesting as they've become more regular.

I'm sorry to disappoint those of you who disagree. But our job is to optimize HN for curiosity and I don't think the quality is high enough here. Ideas are better in the wild. Let's discuss them as they come up organically, rather than try to organize an idea-fest.

Well - the detraction is I spent about 15-20 minutes re-reading through your article, googling around, checking my system, checking apple review sites - trying to figure out what, exactly, it was that Mavericks was doing differently with keychain/private key integration.

Amazing story, and amazing writing!

By the way, the most spectacular story along these lines I've heard is that of Anna Bågenholm, a Swedish doctor who was trapped under ice, in flowing meltwater for 80 minutes [1]. She made a nearly full recovery after being "dead" for hours. Read the article, it makes you wonder what life really is.

I think this could have something do with 16GB dimms being a new thing and not supported by Intel on the laptop chipsets.

Lenovo has a similar problem in their new models. X240 has only one dimm slot and currently supports max 8GB of memory. While investigating the issue I found a discussion[1] where somebody mentioned that Intel would need to add support for these new dimms in the "memory reference code"[2].

In that case, is a compiler allowed to instantiate both ThrowOnError objects before calling either of the C functions?
You don't want to force people to do anything, otherwise it skews the results. Force someone to vote for 30 seconds, or to vote 10 times, and they'll just sit there tapping the first picture until they reach their target. You'll get lots of votes, they'll just be useless.

I think you'd get enough votes if the app was in the right format. It would have to be like hot or not, where you have 2 photos, pick one, and instantly get another 2 photos along with the results from the first set. This gets people trapped in the just one more click mindset.

Focus it on fashion and clothing, people will vote to see more photos, to judge the outfits of others (a lot of people enjoy doing this for fun), and to get inspiration for themselves.

Also, allow users to select what gender and age groups can vote on their photo.

Sort of. They say only if it's a single line that it's not allowed. If there are multiple lines it's "permitted."

So technically, this is still OK, but they are allowed to use braces when there are multiple lines. (the if and the return) They have an example in that link that covers this as a permitted case, but as you say, it's OK and consistent, but that doesn't make it good :)
One thing, different styles. One world, different lives. Humans are always cloning humans.
example you are keeping daily logs(daily partition), and you only want to keep the last 30 days, so you drop-table the latest partitions, which is faster than deleting X number of rows
One thing I look forward to is greater logical input into high-level decision-making. Emotions, egos, racism, discrimination, nationalism, aggression - all these are things that we just don't need any more.

I do think we need exceptional care when working on such a system but I also think the human mind of 50000 years ago leaves a lot to be desired when running in the 21st century. A mind that is ultra-rational would be a good adviser, helping to point out our blind spots and guide us to better thinking. We shouldn't have to learn from all mistakes every generation.

(I'm certainly equally wary of blind acceptance of whatever science and technology can create. A favourite article of mine is http://archive.wired.com/wired/archive/8.04/joy.html - has some very serious warnings and consequences, even about my abovementioned thoughts.)

You probably don't want some random, just-released / potentially buggy application touching all your repos. Wouldn't you want to test it on a throwaway repository first to see if you actually want to use the app / does the app work properly, and then authorize it only for the repos you want.

The answer to your first question would be

>> "Does it matter where I was? You just said I didn't steal it. So you believe me right?"

Now your questioning has gone off the rails and your subject has placed the emphasis on you justifying your reasoning.

Even the follow up questions you have utterly smack of a Columbo-like approach which really only works in movies.

>> A: So let me confirm this one more time, you were busy last night, had dinner with your friend Bob, then went out for a drink?

Response : "Why do you need it confirmed? We have been over this. Are you asking if I was busy all night?"

^^

Not to mention in your own example you have proven why you would be terrible at this.

You wrote the answer of the subject as saying I went out after I had dinner to meet my friend Bob for a drink.

Then you tried to follow up with "...had dinner with your friend Bob.

At no point did the subject say that, they said they had dinner and then met Bob for a drink. So you are seeking a false confirmation for a version of events the questioner has manufactured.

Except the point is most often brought up with regards to patent law and features.

And that's the issue: Apple may have refined the feature set (and mostly benefited from being able to do capacitive touchscreens) but they didn't independently invent as some people would have it, apparently every single feature of the modern smartphone (and thus should apparently be given a monopoly forever on it via injunctions).

It's especially telling that a lot of people resort to wanting the quality of an implementation to somehow count over prior art for patent law (which is just, incredibly stupid on every level).

Multiplayer version of 2048 game with an interesting twist. Available on the App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/2048-addictive-number-puzzle...

The game is played on a single board shared between 2 players who take turns to play. The score of a player is computed by the number on the tiles that the player merges when playing his turn. The game ends when there are no moves remaining or someone reaches the 2048 tile. At this point, the player with the highest score wins the game.
You're right, the methodology is similar, just for different goals. That one is trying to figure out which picture to use for your profile, whereas this app is trying to help you in making every-day decisions such as what to wear or what to buy. A key element is the response time -- I'm not sure how fast this service gets you an answer but I'm assuming it's not within seconds.
