Interesting enough the most popular news clone of HN - designer news has a similar domain ... news.la????????.com .

That's classic example of "Content is king" principle and how domain names might be irrelevant if you have enough popularity.
That's possible, but given that it is one possibility out of a nigh infinite possibilities that they are wrong, what's the probability that they're right?

A Happy Front End GruntJS set up
As someone who has been looking for exactly this, I'm super disappointed.

1) There is very, very little explanation as to what's actually going on here. I don't know what the point of me signing up is. What do I get access to when I sign up? What sort of process am I going to have to go through? Are there marketers on the other end of this? What's the catch?

2) Animations, animations, animations.

a) Your splash video is super distracting. Way too much movement and flash.

b) Your fade-ins on your scrolling animations on your homepage are so slow, I scroll right by them or have to stop and wait.

c) Your front-end framework is, unfortunately, painfully obvious. Seeing gears for a few seconds on every... single... page... load...

d) Trying to load your designers portfolio pages was no fun. 105 requests for 19.2MB of content.

This site doesn't give me tremendous hope for the designers you acquire, or hope for your service, at the moment. Sorry.

The idea sounds great. But, for me, you need more info and a way better website regarding design if you're going to tout that you've curated the designers.
No. The point is that Bitcoin does not require you to share your billing info with the merchant. Therefore no info shared = no data leak possible = higher security.
Good thing production software deployment and maintenance has a much smaller focus on computer science theory than real world use cases.

If all business decisions were based on pure computer science we might very well have much better software, but im inclined to believe we wouldn't have so many different and great products out in the world.
Do I have to upload the pics manually?
I do agree. However, i feel there won't be strong adoption without a great advantage for customers.

Ask HN: When did the Y Combinator home page change?
I was looking at the YCombinator home page today, and really liked the changes they made.
If this is something where I pay $50 for a quality designer to spend 20 minutes writing a couple of paragraphs of feedback on a design, it would be interesting to me.

However, from the landing page I have no idea if this is the sort of thing you're offering.

I've always suspected services like these would scoop up any domains that were truly valuable prior to a customer being given the chance to buy it. What's to prevent that from happening, and how can we trust you not to do that?
We already spend a total of $15 million dollars per day in energy costs[1] making secure transactions in Bitcoin, so I think in a way we're already spending more than $5 billion on Bitcoin security.

Also I've heard many times arguments along the lines of "my security is better than yours, I don't trust you". It's reminiscent of those arguments about cloud providers like AWS, "my outages are better than yours".

I guess this is where sufficiently advanced incompetence becomes indistinguishable from malice.

In either case, I strongly advise everyone to refrain from ever using any bitcoin service that you may be involved with.
Emergence versus Evolution
In order of reliability, things we probably know about Tinder:

* Mateen did supervise Wolfe.

* Mateen did send some "inappropriate" messages to Wolfe (Tinder has, bafflingly, acknowledged this publicly).

* The text messages in the exhibits in the complaint actually occurred.

At this point, vice-grip mortal-lock "bad" seems to be just a "Tinder and/or IAC's management knew this was happening" showing away, right?
> Note, I'm not suggesting that any of the above applies here, but as a general practice, avoiding prejudgement in the absence of all the facts is a bad way to approach gossip.

This isn't gossip. The text messages in the complaint have been confirmed and condemned by Tinder. She was clearly sexually harassed by Mateen, who has been suspended. Tinder is disputing the allegations with respect to its management.

Interesting :) Do you know what the fix was?
I agree in general with all your point, apart from 4 and 5.

Malware in linux repositories is "practically" impossible. Software is most of the times peer reviewed and patched in different ways by different distros. And if a particular software becomes more popular it also comes under scrutiny by more people that want to change the source to add their own features. All the packages are checksummed and repositories have cryptographic keys to establish authenticity.

Of course bugs and security vulnerabilities exist, but the same applies to other OSes as well. And I do understand that UAC is obnoxious for users, but they didn't care about creating problems for legitimate users with the no-ip case since it was posing danger.

That android report makes two assumption: a very wide definition or malware (also installing java should be considered a malware because toolbar), and the fact that a malware doesn't usually last more than a day before being removed automatically.

It hurt to read that, because part of me was scared that she was about to permanently bargain away things that were owed to her. It seems she merely resigned and didn't accept any settlement, so she dodged that bullet.

EDIT TO ADD Anyone who feels treated unfairly: don't sign any offer without legal advice. A contract needs, among other things, to have consideration[1] to be binding. If they give you $100 if you agree not to sue for sexual harassment, you could be up a creek.

Thanks for the Einstein reference. I wasn't familiar with it. However, my comment expressed little more than well established principles in epistemology and the philosophy of science. Einstein in his essay discusses the same general issue. My favorite demonstration of the difficulty of defining (non-mathematical) knowledge is the Gettier problem. The coolest thing about it is that if we try to come up with a definition of knowledge that is always agreed upon by everybody -- one that fully reconciles what we can intuitively and "logically" consider to be knowledge with all forms of the Gettier problem[1] -- we find ourselves with such a narrow definition that hardly covers anything we consider to be "known". This means that in science, as with everything else, we must adopt more lenient -- or pragmatic -- definitions of knowledge, but those definitions are not rigorous in any mathematical sense, and are always lacking.

I think this goes along with his observations of speed/typing error rate correlation: go slow. He's only going .5 an hour, typical walking speed is 3mph, so he's not likely to be winded.

However, it could make considerable noise (enough to effect a phone call).
I guess I was expecting a conclusion (or hopefully instructions on building one :-)
And yet technology implementation is the single most accessible industry I can think of, with most of those, esp in Europe, who succeed at it, being largely autodidacts. Everything you need to learn is there and free and you can do it in your bedroom.

The industries you cite are largely people businesses with restricted knowledge paths and require intense experience and with outcome of individual projects being much more vague and often predetermined by the inputs they received when taking on the project.

> In technology, it would be a dream.

My feeling is that females in tech are largely suffering from the outcome of some inherent risk analysis that we experience. Girls are more likely to take definite paths with known success ratios.

This brings the question, why don't we have significant outliers in female in tech given the low barrier to entry at the root level.
> So can a bank and you will loose all your money just ask the people of Cyprus.

This is a silly comparison. In the USA, all deposits under $200k are guaranteed by the FDIC [1]. If the bank folds, you still get your money from the federal government.
I imagine many similar institutions exist in other countries.

Why there was no such institution in Cyprus baffles me. Perhaps they haven't had to deal with institutional bank failures before. The point is that deposits in Coinbase or other bitcoin institutions are not covered by any such insuring body. They are hence inherently far riskier.

It all comes down to likelihood of failure. When institutions like coinbase fail, we call that "thursday". But if the FDIC folds, you should be less worried about your money and more concerned about hoarding ammo and cigarettes.

Those legal issues only apply to equity crowdfunding, not presale/donation crowdfunds like those on Kickstarter and Indiegogo.
> If Apple or Google spun off a 503(c)(3) for Swift or Android how would that be a bad thing?

Presumably you mean a 501(c)(3) -- a not merely tax-exempt organization but one to which donations are tax-deductible as charitable donations; the problem here with one sponsored by a for-profit company, whether its developing open source software or not, is that they run the risk of being directed at the for-profit company's priorities, and being a way for money to be, in effect, funneled into the companies business in a tax-deductible manner from those with a stake in the company's returns.

> What the IRS needs is a few finer points of distinction... Let the FOSS development be tax-free as long as it's GPL or similarly licensed (the code must stay open no matter what) but deny such status for code that is BSD-like which may (easily) be used in a tax-circumvention mechanism

The copyleft vs. noncopyleft distinction really has no bearing on the central problem here. The real problem is that, to the extent that there is legitimate reason to more closely look at 501(c)(3) applications from entities focussed on OSS (perhaps because for-profit entities have been trying to set them up as ways to improve the tax status of development efforts when they have an OSS-centric business model), this particular case doesn't seem to be one that should have been problematic -- not because of license terms, but because the potential problems that such scrutiny is designed to avoid aren't present. But that may just be a poor first-level decision or a result of poor application crafting, and not any real indication of any problem with the general policy.

Can they remove FIPS at all? Big distributions will certainly want to (have to) offer the FIPS-capable version to some of their customers. I imagine it would cause some serious overtime at RedHat for a number of weeks (months?) if OpenSSL decided to drop FIPS completely.

False allegations of rape are fantastically rare and the people who make those false allegations are almost always prosecuted, and convicted, for it. Everyone recognises that false allegations are immensely harmful - to the man who has been libled; to other women making allegations; to other women who do not make allegations because they fear not being believed.
Good question- with Safari, we use the visible domain to help score the confidence for mobile websites. For native apps, we don't have any such "easy" confidence boost. So we have to fingerprint the app based on different features present in the image that is captured.

The system is computer vision / machine learning based, so even on novel sites, it will get better over time with more usage and training. We've trained it up for a bunch of the most popular sites already though.

People have been poopoo-ing Go lately on HN but let me tell you after using it in production for over a year. It really makes developers life easier. Why?

1) Error handling, Give you ability to impose defensive practices making network or another other I/O failures or unexpected responses from external or internal calls easy to handle.

2) A lot of errors can be caught at compile time. Which means less errors in runtime.

3) It so simple that all of the build in functions and syntax can be expressed in less than 16 lines. Makes reading your code and anyone else code very very easy. Also FMT is sick.

4) Dead simple concurrency.

But all this has still not helped me push Go as the goto lang at the company I work for, why? Sometimes you work with people that just don't want any change.

Give Go a try you'll be shocked how well its designed.

Hm... how about treating both the accuser and the accused fairly and respectfully? E.g. by not revealing identities of either one of them until the case proceeds to trial.

It sickens me that you think people "should" be treated by the court of public opinion in any way.
It's very nice to be able to check annotations in a build step. I'm just saying that adding language-external checks makes it fairly meaningless to say that "C#" supports it; would it be fair to say that C# supports all of Haskell's features if I require annotating C# constructs with Haskell code and then use a modified Haskell compiler in a post-build step to verify that the pieces are composed in a valid way? None of this is to say that the C# code you linked to is not useful - it's just not possible to use "vanilla" C# to achieve what "vanilla" F# can do.

To your later question, while F# and OCaml share a common core, there's lots of F# code that won't compile as OCaml and vice versa, and units of measure are one such example. The syntax for measure-annotated types is not valid OCaml syntax.
writeLaTeX (https://www.writelatex.com/), London, UK

About Us:

We're building 'Google Docs for Science', making science and R&D faster, more open and more transparent by bringing the whole scientific process into the cloud, from idea to writing to review to publication. Our users have already created more than 1,000,000 documents on writeLaTeX, and it is being used in hundreds of universities worldwide for teaching and research.

We're a London-based startup, supported by Bethnal Green Ventures (http://bethnalgreenventures.com/) and founded by two mathematicians who were inspired by their own experiences in academia to create a better solution for scientific collaboration and communication.

We're looking for a full stack engineer:

You'll be working closely with our team to build new and awesome ways for scientists to collaborate and communicate. We're looking for full stack engineers — your projects will span our database (PostgreSQL), web app (Ruby & Rails, Node.js, Meteor), front end (HTML, CSS, Javascript) and infrastructure (Heroku, Linux on Amazon EC2, RackSpace) layers. We also have projects for mobile, if you're into Android or iOS.

You're an independent thinker and fast learner. You're resourceful and knowledgeable, but you ask questions when you get stuck. You take pride in your work, and you ship it early and often, because you love to see it out there in the real world. You learn new programming languages and techniques for fun, and you contribute to open source.

If this sounds like you, send your CV, current salary, and a link to your profile on github/bitbucket to jobs@writelatex.com. We'll get in touch to arrange an informal interview in person if possible, otherwise via Skype/Google Hangout.

This is an immediate vacancy for a permanent position with a two month probationary period. Working arrangements are flexible. The primary place of work will be at our London office.

We look forward to meeting you!
