I tend to read Cooks Illustrated magazine as I have found that great cooking isn't a lack of equipment but instead learning how ingredients work together and proper preparation and use of those ingredients.

CI does review cooking related appliances, tools, and such, but their focus is on better ways to prepare the food and they go into great detail about the experimentation they have tried and why one worked and another didn't.

They could at least act like decent human beings and tell the developers in kind words that their support program is not applicable to them if the apps are not exclusive.

This behavior is not just childish, it's even damaging to the brand.

That they do this on scale (not just certain small teams) lets me believe that the persons who created this policy have some type of psychological issue.

They should definitely see a doctor, if they aren't already doing it.
Question of fact: did the court attempt to contact No-IP.com? Or did they attempt contact, and No-IP.com failed to show up?
SEEKING WORK - Remote - Long or Short Term Consultation

I am a Product Designer (Interaction Design/UI/UX). I have experience relevant to products from iOS & Android to Large Web Platforms. I typically consult on or perform the following:

- Product management - research, definition, development, strategy.

- Product design - strategy, best practices, team building, process, interaction design, ui design, iconography.

- Front end dev - I tend to build most things I spec at the very least to a minimum in which there is no chance of fidelity loss from prototype to final product. I've also setup processes for growing teams and established best practices for new hires.

- iOS design/dev

Ask HN: Generating relevant traffic for a landing page
I am new to the HN community.

I am entrepreneur developing a jamming platform to connect music players through jamming. As part of this process I have setup a landing page with an explainer video and a call to action to submit an email address to get notified when the app is ready.

I have started to collect signups but not as many as I hoped. I still think that the idea is valid and that the main issue is with a) tapping the right audience and b) run a marketing campaign to drive users to the page. Before I do these two things I will not be certain that the idea isnt validated yet.

My questions are:
1) Do most people run a PAID marketing campaign when trying to collect signups through a landing page?

2) what are good sources to publish the landing page other than the obvious FB groups and music forums? Any particular subreddits?

Thanks
>> All these mythical user-protecting chargebacks are almost never used by consumers for refunds (companies who care about brand help them settling refunds) and almost always for the cases when you CC details got stolen and used by someone else.

Companies who don't care about brand and companies who have not yet established a brand are, however, somewhat indistinguishable.

The chargeback facility (among others) provides a cushion and safety net to allow consumers to transact in cases where they are less than 100% certain who they are dealing with.

Removing it would kill the ability of smaller businesses to transact as people like me would never give them any cash, and I would advise my non-technical friends and family to behave similarly.

I know this disagrees with your view on the world, sorry.
Nokia/HERE (Formerly Navteq) — Chicago

As an organization, we have a long history with map data. Now we’re looking at interesting ways to use it to change driving. Cars of the future (and present) have onboard computers, tons of sensors, and internet connections over the cell network. If you could hook that up to our map data, you could do some really cool things.

To see what we’re up to, check out
http://360.here.com/tag/connected-driving/

We’re looking for strong Java developers and strong testers to make this happen. We’re building on AWS, so experience there is a plus.

The things I’ve enjoyed most since starting here a few months ago:

- Interesting problem space

- Interesting tech stack

- I get to wear sandals to work

- Team running group that goes for a run together every Wednesday morning before lunch

- Company gym

- Quickly-growing team

- Good medical insurance coverage

Interested? Questions? Email me at roman.zabicki@here.com I'd love to talk to you.
While I do think Microsoft's approach here is pretty insane, your proposed solution would not have helped at all:

>Microsoft could have just asked them to change the IP associated with the relevant accounts, disable update for them and/or hand over access to those accounts.

The botnet operators are using this service because of how transient it is. They likely have hundreds of accounts, each with thousands of domains, and can make more accounts and more domains on the fly.

What Microsoft should've done is worked with no-ip's team to implement some code in the account and domain registration process to catch these kind of patterns, in a way where the botnet operator thinks he's configured them correctly, but Microsoft is actually using no-ip's nameservers to point those domains to their sinkholes. After setting this up, they could've then generalized this checking process to catch and automatically ban (or shadowban) other registrants who appear to be using no-ip for botnet command & control or malware distribution. They also could implement evercookies and browser fingerprinting to track threat actors who keep making new accounts in combination with the heuristic detection.

They could've achieved a lot of good by doing this; but now every miscreant out there knows all about this due to the publicity, so they're not going to touch no-ip with a 50 foot pole.

If no-ip refused to implement something like this, then maybe Microsoft could've gotten a temporary court order so that they could basically force them to. But instead they forced them to give up control of their entire DNS space, all to take down 1 botnet.
Could you describe how this abuse would take place, exactly? R&D is already tax deductible.

I could see that if you funded a non profit via income like Kickstarter, that would allow you to use that money over multiple financial years without paying taxes on it in the mean time.

But that doesn't really seem egregious if the technology is to be open sourced.
"Considering the brain needs to sleep to fixate memories, your approach is better."

There are two other components to this that you're glossing over. Sleep helps with long-term memory. So if your plan is to study-ahead and be prepared for the exam, fine. But then the second component comes in to play. People that are cramming for the exam are doing so because they didn't study ahead. For that second group of people, sleep is actually the last thing they need. What good is remembering something long-term, if you never actually "learned" it in the first place. And let's be honest, people that are cramming for exams, are not the type to have learned the content before, either. (Though I generalize a bit there)
Amsterdam, the Netherlands. No remote work – must be willing to work at our Amsterdam office.

Silk [1] is looking for Front-end Developers and Javascript/TypeScript and Haskell Engineers. We're building a product that makes it easy for people to create sites with information that is easy to query, visualize and share. On a deeper level, our vision is to bring the semantic web to the masses and build an amazing company around that.

We're working on many interesting and challenging problems, with a custom-built Haskell graph-database on the back-end and a cutting-edge Functional Reactive client-side framework in Javascript on the front-end [2]. Silk is well-funded by top-tier VCs (NEA and Atomico) and we're located in the city center of Amsterdam.

I have spent the last 7 years building all kinds of applications with ruby on rails.

I love working with ruby, rails, coffeescript, but I am also eager to learn new stuff.

As a former sysadmin, I also do not mind taking care of the operations side of things. I also have limited experience with puppet.

Oh woops. That's embarrassing. Thanks!
kordless is right - you still don't get the point. People aren't downvoting you because they like what Microsoft did (or Apple, in one of your more recent outburts). People are downvoting you because your comments contained little intelligent thought and were passionate outburts, and people on this forum tend to look down on that. This most recent comment, however, is a good one. Instead of just blaming downvotes on other people's ignorance, look at the way you communicate. You replied to my comment 3 times over the course of several hours when I wasn't even online. Why? You started calling people Microsoft brown-nosers and Apple brown-nosers. Why? It was childish and immature. You got downvoted because people didn't like the way you were acting, not because of your opinion.
Bloomberg - San Francisco (full-time, no remote, no relo, visa ok)

I am looking for the first few individuals to join a team of two building something special in SF. Bootstrapping a team from scratch requires a type of person who thrives in a startup atmosphere and can wear many hats. Ideal candidates have had plenty of experience scaling up or building large distributed systems and/or building products for developers with a large user base. Full-time Bloomberg LP employment with generous benefits and compensation commensurate with experience.

Who we are:

We run a worldwide network with somewhere around 35,000 circuits in 180+ countries. We ingest anywhere from 45-60 billion "ticks" daily aggregate from feeds in all of these countries. We normalize, scrub, and then re-distribute all this data to customers in all of those countries in an efficient manner. The Terminal provides analytic and visualization tools to work with market data, as well as the same tools to work with news and alerts. On the news side, we ingest over 80,000 news feeds (e.g. WSJ would be one "feed") from around the world and do the same kind of processing, applying ML for sentiment and topic classification, machine translation, etc. The web side (bloomberg.com, businessweek.com, Government, Law, etc) uses mostly Rails stacks and everything you would expect to find in a web shop.

If you want to join a team in the single digits and work for one of the most profitable software companies in the world, contact me -- andrew@ishiboo.com (personal e-mail)

Silent Circle - SoCal would be cool, but we're spread from California to Greece, so (REMOTE) location is not critical for the right person.

We're looking for a web frontend developer with strong UI/UX skills and experience developing usable, attractive, and responsive interfaces. We're not overly concerned with the frameworks or libraries you've used, but hopefully you've been around the block enough times to have solid opinions about a couple.

If you're looking for interesting challenges, we have many of them... Delivering high quality products that solve real world problems for our users, while keeping their privacy and security our primary concern, can make for surprisingly competing interests at time. We're a very distributed team, which has many advantages, but also presents a number of challenges; it's pretty critical that you are comfortable working independently.

If you're interested in learning more, feel free to reach out to me or StavrosK (We're josh and stavros at silentcircle.com, respectively).

SMSgrupp, Stockholm, Sweden. Android-, iOS- and Backend Developer

Group messaging startup with 10 developers and offices on three continents looking for mobile app and backend developers. Given the small size of our team, you will be a critical part of the company.

Supertext is a new and exciting chat app with a very competitive advantage that no other chat app has: Full integration and relations with the Telecom operators enabling the app to break out of the silos that chat apps are limited to and deliver a hybrid of SMS and regular chat apps.

Supertext is based on SMSgrupp which is a mature SMS-based communcation tool that works on all mobile phones, regardless of model or age. SMSgrupp is rapidly spreading in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America.

The main quality we’d like to see in a candidate is simply the ability to ship solid, professionally written and maintainable code. And enjoy doing it. If you have apps in the Market, and a proven track record of delivering quality code that stirs a developer’s admiration, that counts for more than any number of impressive degrees.

We look for: Solid knowledge of tools and language Strong understanding of software engineering principles and object-oriented concepts. Pride in writing simple and beautiful code. Product sensibility and understanding of interaction design. A sense of humor and a light heart.

Our new offices are situated near the water in central Stockholm, at Götgatan just beside Slussen.

>you are never handing the store your full billing info which can be stolen and reused by fraudsters.

And you have to use a hard to obtain (bureucratic nightmare to exchange), volatile, dealing with shady "institutions" with no real history or assurances behind them (MtGox anyone?), and use a novelty currency for that?

There are "one use" recharchable virtual credit cards used all over the world, you can "fill up" one from your online banking and have it handle as much or as little money as you want (e.g just for one transaction).

This can be done wholly online, and takes like 1 minute.

"add___" might imply mutation of the stream, which it seems to me (just reading this tut for the first time) isn't the mindset the framework wants you to be in.
That's Dark Souls 2. Dodging in DaS1 is less I AM FUCKING INVINCIBLE and more I AM INVINCIBLE for a very short amount of time and oh please please let me be out of range by the time my limited invincibility frames run out, plus your dodge is shorter and you can wear a lot less stuff before your rolls get slow. The only way to get DaS2-like dodging in DaS1 is with the dark wood grain ring.

On the other hand, you can parry much more reliably in 1 and I've killed dark knights simply by parrying them 4 times successively. Or you can backstab, since the enemies don't turn as quickly as they do in 2.

I'll agree that a lot of strategy in DaS 1 and 2 comes from careful positioning, given that replenishing your health puts you at a considerable danger while you sit immobile drinking estus and can be interrupted at any time by an attack. However, I find that the two games have a definitely different feel to them, even though they're woven from the same cloth. Another thing is that the camera in DaS2 is much, much faster, due to being truly mouse controlled - you can turn as fast as you can swing your mouse (I still recommend using AutoHotkey to bind mouse buttons to keyboard buttons because otherwise you get lag on attack, due to the game waiting a frame or two to check if you're not double-clicking, since you can bind different actions on single and double click; it's not the end of the world, but it's annoying). In 1, not only is m+kb absolutely unworkable, the mouse has a negative acceleration applied and you can't turn any faster than with a joypad.

I like both, but if you play a long enough time these small differences start getting really obvious.

Also, I haven't seen someone mention the Serious Sam games, so there.

We’re a young company looking for people looking to help shape our culture.

Our Team

We’re a diverse team made of:

- A Bonnaroo Guitarist

- The world’s preeminent scholar on Toilet Based Social Networks
