Thank you. I came here specifically to say just that. I'm trying to do more to say something in cases like these and call it when I see it. That usage was jarring and yes, completely out of place / uncalled for. Glad others feel same. Of all the analogies in the world, that was the choice?
You're absolutely allowed to pay for links, that's what pretty much all internet advertising is based on after all. Google just doesn't like when you pay for links that pass PageRank. So as long as you do a nofollow on the link, it's fine.

Oh, please... the author is doing funny turn of phrases in every second paragraph. But sure, it is "racist" to joke about female celebrities?

(That said, I have no clue what Hanna Montana was. But Miley Cyrus is hardly extreme, even for mainstream music.

[Edit: And if copying black music culture should be condemned, I don't know how much will remain? :-) Not only in the US. I guess the jokes are about the contrast with Montana? Sure women often gets the short stick in criticism, but don't throw the baby out with the water. Enough discussion, please. ]

This is all pretty standard stuff for cron. Which isn't to say that it couldn't be better, but I think the main problem here is expecting it to work like other parts of OS X.

With OS X specifically, launchd is trying to replace cron and you might be better off just using that. You can still create a cron job and get it to run and all that, but OS X is doing it with launchd and Apple has a tendency to pull the rug out from under people when it's convenient for them.

Cron will send both errors and program output to your local mail daemon. Pretty much all BSD/Linux/etc. systems have local mail delivery configured to drop stuff into /var/mail/[login username], to be read by the "mail" (or similar) commands on the commandline. If you don't want that, you have to set up a mail daemon and configure it to forward mail to your regular account using your ISP. OS X might have sendmail built in, which can do this (although sendmail configuration isn't very fun), or postfix should work too.

If email is too much of a hassle, you can use the >> operator at the end of your command to direct output to a file: [command] >> /path/to/file

And, yeah, cron runs in its own environment, so it won't have access to your PATH or other variables.
That would be prudent regardless. If you trust HTTPS, why verify the PGP signatures? And if you don't, verifying the PGP signatures does not get you anything if you have no reason to trust the key.
Honestly, I was hoping this drama would result in the implementation of hidden containers for other crypto solutions (dm-crypt, etc).

Hopefully that may still happen.
Um, anything that's marked as "4K" has 3840x2160 resolution.

Pretty much any "<something>p" and similar marking is misleading in terms of marketing anyway.
So, I think this phrase may benefit from some context. Specifically, the cultural backdrop to the statement is that we[1] have a recent tradition of using the transition from "pure, sweet good-girl teen" to "raunchy, sexualised young woman" as a kind of marketing event for female pop stars who began their careers as teenage TV stars. Part of their marketing value derives directly from the public and "shocking" nature of the transition. It's essentially exploiting the Madonna-whore complex[2] for marketing purposes.

There are ambiguities, of course. Perhaps the "shock" value of female sexuality is a good thing and is helping us all to get out of outmoded views about female purity. Perhaps the presentation of female sexuality as being about raunch and nudity is catering to male fantasies and is thus bad. Perhaps the problem lies with the excessively "pure" image that teenage female entertainers need to maintain in order to be deemed "family-friendly".

Personally, I interpreted the comment in the article as being one about the exaggerated nature of the image change that stars like Miley Cyrus go through once they hit the age of consent. She's neither the whore of Babylon nor Hannah Montana, but it suited advertisers to portray her as both at different times.

Is this a suitable topic for a joke or a metaphor? I didn't interpret it negatively, so for me it was fine. I can appreciate why other people would disagree, but I thought adding some context might be useful[3].

Ask HN: Pay myself dividends instead of salary?
I'm the sole shareholder of a DE C Corp and I'm currently paying myself a subsistence salary from the company coffers. Someone suggested to me that I ought to pay myself in dividends rather than salary in order to reduce my payroll tax burden. (The budget is tight enough to warrant this.) What steps do I need to take to do this? I'm guessing it involves more than ACHing the amount directly to myself, maybe need to file some document? Would welcome any suggested reading.
Exploring open systems is a right, hence the open internet. If you don't want people walking the streets maybe you should put up a fence, close the door.

Where is this information from? Sounds a bit strange, but I guess it could be true. It's not the first time big companies say "f u" to these rulings.
You can still reach the old website, if you're asking the SF-webserver for the index.php (not the index.html).
That site seems pretty normal, except for the warning:

It is quite widely accepted that 3840x2160 is "4K", eg. quoting wikipedia:

> The SMPTE first released Standard 2036 for UHDTV in 2007. UHDTV was defined as having two levels called UHDTV1 (3840×2160 or 4K UHDTV) and UHDTV2 (7680x4320 or 8K UHDTV). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_UHDTV

and

> The television industry has adopted ultra high definition television (UHDTV) as its 4K standard. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution
Hi everyone! I'm the person who made this teardown -- if you have any questions or scathing critiques, I'm all ears right here.
Maybe, in cases where the initial URL submitted redirects, the title should show two domains: the initial domain, and the final domain reached when the entire redirect chain is followed. Or we could try to convince the HN community to favour other sources over FT; this story, in particular, isn't short of write-ups elsewhere.

EDIT: BTW, I can view the article. Is that because I'm coming from outside the US?
Ok, so, let me enlighten you as to why you're being downvoted.

First, your post reads very rambly. That doesn't help much, though it probably actually does help a little, since the more what you're saying becomes clear, the more likely you are to get downvoted.

Which brings me to the second point. Your post is highly misogynistic - read up about it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misogyny . At various points, you make the following arguments:

- Women simply aren't into tech

- You don't want women to be into tech

- Because it doesn't fit your stereotype of what women should be like

- Your view of what women should be like is they're there to help you with some aspects of your life, like having children, etc

- Successful women are doomed to not be successful by your stereotype of what women should do

- Successful women are scary

These are very distasteful, anti-women points that peg you clearly as either someone who believes this stuff because he's an asshole, or someone who believes this stuff because he hasn't spent 5 minutes researching the topic and is running on stereotypes. The latter's only advantage is that maybe there's hope for you to get better over time.

That's why you're being downvoted. You should really spend some time thinking about what kind of person the above beliefs make you, and start re-examining where they come from and how you can change them in yourself.
Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose
DuckDuckGo certainly has benefited from privacy becoming more salient, but this ruling is probably negative for them. Each of these removal requests needs manual review to keep people from requesting takedowns of other people's stuff. There are ~500M people eligible to request takedowns under the ruling, and if 1% of them ask for one link removed per year that's 14k requests per day. If each request takes 5min then you need 143 people working full time. Which high but doable for Google, but at ~20 employees this would be an enormous burden for DDG.

These numbers could be higher if someone puts out a campaign that goes viral and gets lots of people submitting requests, and there's nothing that stops people outside the EU from submitting (invalid) requests.

One thing in DDG's favor, however, is that that at first people are probably only going to send these requests to Google.

Disclaimer: I work for Google, on open source software.
> And not only that, it's only removed from google.co.{eu*} google.com will still have it

Do you have a reference that confirms this? I have not seen it mentioned in any of the articles about this issue.
You have to distinguish between ads and links being part of the page content.

As long as you seperate ads clearly from the site content and maybe give them a rel="nofollow" attribute, there should never be negative consequences.

Paying someone for low quality content around links to increase search engine rankings lowers the quality of the overall web for everyone.

Google does a lot of questionable stuff and I personally don't like the power they weild over the web. However, in this particular instance, I can't see anything wrong with this policy.
55% - that's frighteningly low, for a developed country.
Well it seems to me that you are very happy to write scripts so wouldn't be alergic to writing a little bit of code.

I'd suggest you pick out of your best languages the one you prefer. And go with that.

Write a few pages of text in something like Markdown or RST (python). Use a microframework like Bottle (python), that resolves a route (example.com/about/) to a function. In that function convert your micro-markup to html, that you then wrap further in a template.

You can find some free html templates available on-line.

Before that, plan the site, define what it is and jot down your expectations of what it will do. Look at similar sites. Note the ones you like.

Draw up how the pages will be connected. For what you describe, it sounds like you only need a few pages. With the homepage listing news/updates. When you add something to the site (news) syndicate elsewhere, with links back (i.e. Twitter, Facebook).

If I was a fan, I'd probably want to join a community. Perhaps a newsletter and/or fan forum would be a good addition. You may want to manage a mailing list and/or a web forum.

If you have a web forum, you might want to stick that on another domain (or subdomain). You should be able to find an off the shelf solution for that. It doesn't need to be in the same language as your main site. Or hosted in the same place.

Getting different web components (forums, etc) to match cohesively theme-wise is a bit of a challenge. But it's not necessarily needed in my opinion. Personally as a fan I'm more interesting in content. You could however pay someone to theme the site after you have it working. That's easier if you restrict yourself to a minimal amount of templates.

There are millions of frameworks out there to choose from. Start with something very simple like bottle, it will introduce concepts and if you want to take it further later on you can.

If you haven't written a web page at all before, then basic html is a good place to start (elements: html, head, body, head, h1, h2, p, a, ul) page is a good place to start. Compose two html pages, link them back and forth to each other and try and add an image and text to both. You don't need a fancy web server to do that, you can just open a text file and start writing, and test in your web browser.
Because they need to look busy? Because the "2 & 20" fee structure incentivises them to pursue strategies that lose money on average but are high-variance?
You may also try to start with a set of real names and then apply some systematic sound changes to these, see http://www.zompist.com/sounds.htm
Something like that was my hobby project to learn JavaScript well. (Using the Org::Parser from CPAN.) Far from complete.

I got stuck on that I am unable to create a good UX. :-) You want to give all users a grounding in Emacs and you want to make it usable for others, at the same time.

Now the plan is to get a MVP off the ground and make the View system simple enough so designers can rewrite it and rework the look and command structure.

(This is not just to make a commercial web app based on Emacs, with all income assigned to FSF for fun. Promise. :-) The plan really is GPL.)

I've got to say I've got a definite softspot for DuckDuckGo, but I always struggle to see bing as a contender. Now it might be for the reasons you mention (Microsoft not giving it enough TLC) but it does make it difficult to switch.

That being said I make sure that DuckDuckGo is always one keypress away, I still haven't managed to make it to a full switch but I try and use it more and more.
So you mean patch operations should be atomic right?
Search 2.0: crowdsourced content curation
I actually have what I think is a valid reason to use this.

Years ago I created a friendfeed account. I used their Twitter signup button. Now years later I would like to close my friendfeed account to remove that information from the internet. There's nothing particularly bad about it but it's old, useless and I would rather it was deleted. The problem is I can't login into my account as I authorised through Twitter and I've since deleted my Twitter account. I also can't get in touch with anyone at friendfeed since they've shutdown but left their site up.

This ruling gives me a way to hide that friendfeed page from people. Unfortunately it will still be up but it's unlikely anyone will find it 'accidentally' if it isn't on Google.
Not an expert, but I think 3D printing also gives some possibilities for designs that aren't possible with traditional methods.
The mentality of "Just throw technology at it!" is spreading over the world, it's not just the US.

Even here in Iceland, where we are really not doing too great on the PISA exams (and getting steadily worse - so it's hard to say the problem is lack of technology), and there is not sufficient funding for schools, you have people calling for "modernisation" of the school system which always involves spending inordinate amounts of money on giving iPads to students.

This is at the same time as competent teachers are moving jobs in droves as they get paid shit, and only the bad ones who can't get jobs elsewhere remain.

I just don't understand these priorities.
"so that the shuttles could be tested and demonstrated without humans in danger, to verify safety after Challenger and Columbia."

You could demonstrate, but I don't think it was possible to verify safety with such small a fleet in a decent timeframe. Let's say you accept a 1:100 chance of disaster, and you want to verify that experimentally. You certainly can't do that with fewer than 50 normal launches. That would have taken NASA over 5 years (assuming a vastly sped up launch schedule made possible by the lack of danger to humans)

Alternatively, suppose you decide to test beyond the normal flight parameters, and launch a few shuttles with ice on them, a few with O-rings that aren't 100% up to standard, a few in high winds, etc. Even if you try to stay just on the edge of destructive testing, you would run out of shuttles to launch before you know it.
It doesn't sound much different from Solyent. I doubt it will solve any of those problems long term.
The ruling can be use for good and bad reasons.But I think it's important people can at least reach google in some special case,where a result from 10 year ago can be detrimental.
How do you specify ads apart from other links.

Maybe I'm talking about a product, call it spammy, but I'm all praises about the product. The visitors to my website are actually reading this article, indicating that the article is not boring, badly-written content.

Why does a multi-millionaire company get to decide that my HTML markup is `wrong` if there is no "nofollow" in my HTML?

I know they have the right to decide who gets listed on their search engine and who does not. If that is the case, they should not call their results fair.

> Remember that amazing mosquito zapper he demoed 4 years ago[1]? Turns out the reason you haven't heard anything more about it is because he hired his patent troll friends over at Intellectual Ventures to do it for him [2]. Since they own the patents for it no one else can develop it and they aren't cross licensing, kind of obvious for a patent troll. Since they are a patent troll they aren't doing anything but holding the intellectual property and not producing any units.

This was, to me, the most interesting part of your comment. Do you have any references to Intellectual Ventures refusing to license this particular technology? If so, it certainly paints the whole program in a different light.

Iris Classon and the inability to get a L1 Visa
I get what you're saying. But I think this is a case where simplification and rewrites is going to greatly enhance the ability to effectively audit the code. I will trust LibreSSL audits about a hojillion times more than OpenSSL audits at this point, just down to code complexity and surface area alone.

And there is no question about it they absolutely will introduce new bugs. But hopefully the increased scrutiny and easier to read code means that they are less likely to have extremely bad bugs latent in the codebase for years without anyone noticing, as has been the case with OpenSSL.
Google doesn't like it when you cut out the middle man.
> My slow path to conservatism.

If you mean conservatism of the political kind, come live in Texas for awhile to get a taste of life in a conservative state; you're likely to reconsider how far you want to go down that path. I'm a lifelong Republican and always thought of myself as fairly conservative; in recent years, though, mainly because of the Tea Party -- and the life lessons learned from the challenges of, e.g., raising two kids to adulthood -- I've probably voted for Democrats almost as often as for Republicans. I have Republican friends who are so disenchanted that they've talked about switching parties.
Google are effectively altering the search results manually, just without altering their own algorithm. It is perhaps understandable that Google want to avoid making exceptions for individual sites. But a 100% algorithm based approach may be becoming less and less useful.
Why dont you just "nofollow" the links? Everyone should be happy
I can understand your point, but I think the biggest differentiating factor when it comes to AI is that for maybe the last 20-30 years the biggest cultural touchpoint for the term 'AI' was the concept of 'it going nuts and taking over the world, enslaving/killing humanity', so I expect that to play into the public perception a little bit. It could be as simple as 'AI has a brand problem Google are working on solving', once that's been eroded in some way I'd essentially agree with you, I just think it's a looming perception issue.
Watching the video again, I see that the SuperDracos are mounted pretty high up in the sides. Given the fuel tanks, Draco manouvering thrusters, life support system and so on are mounted lower down or in the base, plus the weight of the heat shield, I suspect the SuperDraco's are mounted above the centre of mass of the Dragon. This means it would be statically stable on just two opposite clusters. Four SuperDracos have 64,000lbs of thrust, which should be plenty. So, yes, I think it could cope with losing two engines in the same cluster.
Couldn't all that he wants be provided by implementing a "native" Apple UI/UX on top of Android? It feels like all his points have been solved by Android for quite some time.

your explanation is reasonable as far as it goes. Yes, the two states are being used to contrast the shocking change in nature of the product. However, this doesn't speak as to whether it's ok.

1) commodifying women is not ok.

2) comparing women as an object/product to a piece of tech is again problematic.

3) half your potential audience for your review is women. Do they want to read about other women being talked about like this?

4) using language like this makes it easier to accept it's reasonable and inoffensive. It's not inoffensive.

just saying oh well this is advertising and marketing is not enough. Questioning it's validity is worthwhile. Questioning whether we want to see this kind of exclusionary and sexist language in professional copy is worthwhile.
