I always prefer a 1:1 relationship with providers: that is, an account that's tied directly to me rather than through a third-party provider like Twitter, Facebook, or OpenID. (Aside: why is social media managing my passwords? On the third option, it's great in theory and terrible in execution.)

My biggest issue with Flickr is that they tie it to a @yahoo.com email address. I know it's part of the "ecosystem", but c'mon—who uses one of those?

I got hacked off with a company recently. They send an email to the local Python meetup group with what they were looking for. I replied, highlighting experience in 13 of their 15 criteria.

"Great now, we would really like to see an example of your code".

"Well all my stuff at work is in house, and contains some sensitive information. I have started a small side project recently, but you will have to understand that it is not finished. Have you got a bitbucket account?"

"Great, now we would like you do dedicate a bit of time to set up a simple flask API...."

"I have sent you an example for real work I have done, I don't think it is really necessary for me to set up a project using two technologies I am not familar with..."

The guy kept of framing it as if I was causing a problem. I said I would do it for the local freelance rate, but that seemed to go unnoticed as I was asked for a solution to my reluctance to do the test.

Just my 2cents, but I suspect the reason they front load so many charges is that a lot of people both employers/freelancers use freelancer for the initial connection and then move to paypal or similar for ongoing work.

Freelancer lets you establish trust between parties so to speak and then after that there isn't that much of an incentive to carry on using it if you're dealing with the same person.
Can English only speakers find jobs in Germany/Austria?
No, it only tries to look like OS X by drawing the controls like that. But there are still so many things off that I don't even know where to begin.
All of the above, always. I highly doubt the legal / regulatory staff and the HR and PR staff in large corporations are stupid, you can bet they've covered every angle. It's the scapegoat (the single engineer), it's the staff around him, it's the intentionally leaked email, it's the exec who's a plant in the fired group, who will gave a job next week with some other auto manufacturer. Is there a term 'Public Relations Theatre'? If not, I coin it now. Everyone's got everyone else's back, and hands in each others pockets. Maybe someone will appear to take the fall, but behind the scenes that person will be looked after. Call me cynical, or maybe realistic?

Personally, while my windows are far wider than 80 characters, my code generally use shorter lines for a simple reason: readability. It's faster for me to scan a code fragment if I need to move (scroll the code, move my eyes) only on one axis. I use wider windows because it is convenient to split in two, to let me switch between files while keeping other files up in a fixed location.

The 80 width "limit" has survived to the extent it has not just because of tradition and compatibility, but also because it fits well within the range of what is most comfortable for most people.

Add to that the desire to ensure fixed-formatted text like code will be readable also on other peoples screens, and it becomes relatively irrelevant if you can fit 200 character lines on your screen and have eyesight that makes that comfortable even when using smaller screens, and don't mind moving your head all over the place.

> I'm not sure a "show HN" section would have the same overall value for the community.

Last I heard HN was a community of people who build things. A separate "Show HN" section would allow you know... people to show what they are building. Extend this further, the homepage should be defaulted to "Show HN" and all the rest put onto "other" pages!

Actually, most buyers are not interested to pay you directly (Paypal or not) because they feel safer on Freelancer.

Also, when a buyer asks you to go on Skype to discuss his project most of the time he will try to scam you into giving your work without being paid.
Well, this was like a decade and half back, so I don't have "enough data". :-) You're right, that's what I am saying. I think I just got the amount of sleep I needed at night (which means I woke up at around 7). This is not a technique to reduce sleep, but to learn better.
Because it is dynamically typed, duh!
I'd be much more comfortable with breaking the 80 chars per line restriction than using variable width fonts - often it helps readability to be able to easily line things up. The day every system I work on consistently handles tab-stops in a sensible way, I might be open to consider variable width fonts for coding.

Middle-Class Lament: Rent
>> Oh please. I need to bail on some awesome event because my girlfriend broke up with me or work dropped some unmanageable project on my lap. I don't care who gets the ticket, I just want to get rid of it quickly.

This is not the same, you are now being disingenuous.

>> It's called EBay, and they haven't replaced the scalpers. Its because scalpers take advantage of a temporal lag between supply and demand. The guy canceling wants his money now. The guy with deep pockets can't be bothered to go looking until the last minute.

This is not about people cancelling, this is about exactly the behaviour described in the original post - buying up large chunks of the available tickets and profiteering off them.

>> Why did the scalper get there first? Because the seller wanted to unload quickly and the buyer didn't think about it until later. Again, if the buyers were there when the sellers were selling, nobody would sell to scalpers. But the buyers aren't there. Without scalpers, the sellers would have to hold on to the tickets longer.

This is not born out in reality. Observe the process of buying tickets to any marginally popular event that doesn't protect against this stuff and you'll find the buyers are there, in droves, but the scalpers still manage to get a lot of the tickets, which are up on ebay and reseller sites at multiple times the face value within seconds.

This is not a service, it is antisocial and it makes the world a worse place.

The fact you have to use contrived examples that bear no resemblance to the original statements tells me you realise this but are arguing for the sake of it. Bye now.

No you are not under any obligation to post anything, however when posting something you claim to be a violation of law or policy is customary to support that claim with citations to where you have gained this knowledge. To date you have not posted any citation to support your claim in a verifiable manner. You have posted no terms, no laws, given no citations of any regulations or policies that are open to the public review, My own investigations have found nothing in any written documentation to support your claims. I believe you are wrong, and have asked you to provide a citation back your claims, which to date you have not.

If this was an official position of either Visa, MC, or an "IPSP" you would be able to post a link to their official terms that spell out that position, since you can not your comment should be ignored.

As to PCI Compliance, I will say again, ALL PERSONS TAKING CREDIT CARD MUST BE PCI COMPLAINT. Small, medium, large it does not matter, if you accept credit cards at all you much be PCI Compliant. Level 4 Compliance is a joke, and even the smallest of small business can become Level 4 Complaint...

Level 1, which is what a Walmart would be, is hard to get and most online merchants do not even attempt to get that.
SQL libraries don't have to be ORMs or useless.

SQLAlchemy has a core SQL layer that lets you compose SQL better than by bashing strings together and it handles the transaction lifecycle correctly for you through its unit of work pattern (the session).

While all I know of Crane is this page, it would appear to follow the same design, there its "filter" shortcut is built on top of the lower layer, which is also available to use directly.
I love Dash.

My one request. I wish that I could take my own HTML docs (WiiU Dev stuff, as example) and my own PDF's and get them into DASH for searching.

I have a fair amount of documentation in HTML that I would love to have all in one place along with the Docsets I use daily.

Good point - that's the only issue I have with K9 and AGP on Android. I'm happy to live with only being able to view encrypted attachments on the desktop at the moment.

In my experience (using Zeal - which is the Linux QT port of Dash and uses the same repos) the docs generally seem to have some glaring oversights at the moment.

Possibly Zeal's search just isn't as good yet, but I had a heck of a time finding things about Python which are trivial to locate on the website through Google.

Speaking of: http://zealdocs.org/download.html

Dash-docs for Linux, PPA for Ubuntu/Mint available! It uses the exact same documentation sets and supports downloading in app.
From the number of squares, I thought it might end up doing something even more 'clever' i.e. generate a square for each of the most recent n URLs from feeds of m news sites, then analyse, for example, words in headlines of those articles to determine what I'm interested in. Lots of potential for data analysis once you have someone's browser history.

1. Sure, what I meant was "for this type of transmitter in an amateur setting and frequency range ~ 100MHz", where the antenna is usually a wire poking out and the transmitter is inside of a building

If you're doing QRP work with a professional antenna and a different frequency band (and good receptors), you're right, it can go very far

2. Yes, harmonics are an important issue. I'm not sure how they would behave in a "bad quality" circuit like this (even though "bad quality" usually mean more harmonics, the fact that you have a general purpose transistor, component leads, traces, etc, all contribute to prevent them from being amplified too much in the first place, if you're at 50MHz you'll surely have 2nd, 3rd, but probably not much beyond that)

I think a third party can aggregate these and that would be enough. Personally, I like that HN is a single page to visit (more or less) with occasional ShowHN items appearing, I like seeing them, but would be less likely to visit a separate section......if they appeared in both I guess that would be ok.
>While all I know of Crane is this page, it would appear to follow the same design, there its "filter" shortcut is built on top of the lower layer, which is also available to use directly.

Essentially this. To be perfectly clear: Crane doesn't share SQLAlchemy's data mapper/unit of work pattern, it is much closer to regular active record. However, it still provides good flexibility by using SxQL and not pretending SQL doesn't exist.
Easiest explanation: they're fibbing. Somebody opens the bottle regularly. There's no reason to take every extraordinary claim posted on the internet at face value. Next we'll see bigfoot photos?

That's surprising. The GCHQ was the agency that tapped Google's datacenter fiber. They actually had more-direct access to Google data than the NSA.

The firm said it could not specify the countries that have a direct line into its networks, because those countries have laws prohibiting disclosure of surveillance methods.

Couldn't someone compile a list of countries with such laws?
Interesting niche concept, but why did you choose to charge the individuals seeking jobs, rather than charging the business advertising the job?

The business model of most recruiting sites are that the customers are the guys with the jobs, seeking qualified candidates.

The business model of this site appears to be "selling the dream of adventure" to individuals. It's not really about selling job advertisements, or even jobs. It's about selling the dream, "even you can be an astronaut". To be able to sell the dream, you have to establish credibility that you can deliver. That's missing from the site as it is now.

Your thoughts?

see you kind of prove my point about how people process data.

you thought perhaps my comment was a complaint, an angry statement, this couldn't be further from the truth. In actuality I was just reflecting on how good signposting (through pertinent language and UI) helps people interpret meaning on websites.

If you design your website so that your potential users/customers cant look at the front page and have an instant grasp of what your product is, then your website is failing to do its job.

Again I say, people shouldn't have to infer what something is by association. Saying "what is this? oh look, there's an appstore link, it must be an app" is not the right way to tell people what you've made. Unambiguous and engaging language is.
It sounds like the automotive manufacturing industry is ripe for disruption. Enter the likes of Telsa Motors. Being able to focus on two or three products, getting them right, being 'agile'. Of course, for the agile new company to survive there has to be old cumbersome companies for it to carve a market from. I have a hunch there will be others, probably 'cheap Chinese knock-offs'[1] that will outperform the incumbents on price and quality. Hopefully the whole industry benefits.

1. I use the term 'Chinese' in this phrase to represent any state actor who can rapidly deploy, or incentivise, manufacturing capability at a significant discount to their Western counterparts.
