Newegg itself is not accepting Bitcoin, it is not keeping a balance in Bitcoin, and it has no exposure to Bitcoin related risk.

It has a payment processor, Bitpay, that accepts Bitcoin. As long as you have a competent engineer on staff, it's about as difficult as accepting PayPal.

It's nice that this is happening, but the headline should be, "BitPay lands Newegg as client". The maturity of the services around Bitcoin helps everyone that holds them, so it's not unimportant. It's just a very, very far stretch from a merchant directly accepting and holding a currency balance in BC.
My personal thoughts would be that if computer interfaces catch up to the point of being able to use them in a redwood forest you won't be looking at the redwood forest you would be working.

Much better to be in a controlled environment that does not distract you from your work but takes into account all the evolution that has taken place so far.

That's some cheap-ass pentesting. Here you go buddy! (j/k)

To explain the joke... companies spend tens of thousands doing "pentesting" to stave off vectors for concerted attacks. In this case, they would be spending tens of thousands to prevent the...$500 being extorted. My joke is that it is just as easy to pay the guy $500 for finding the errors. It's just a joke, though. You shouldn't pay extortionists a dime. (Even if that's all they ask for.)

Wishlist: please, please keep it simple. Don't include a MB of JS or CSS, for example I'm on a slow connection (China) and it would be inefficient if you for whatever reason include a lot of crap just to be able to see basic content. I'm sure you have this in mind but just writing it down anyway :)
Polymer and React are orthogonal, here is a great comment explaining the difference: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7739755
It's a great point to add that it's nuanced. But a lost sale is a lost sale and should be avoided if you're in the business of selling things. Unless your margins are under 3% (the reason why Overstock is say an early Bitcoin champion)
IMHO, if you (nonpersonal you) identify as a Javascript developer instead of a web developer, you're a very limited and narrow-minded developer. Learning a new language is easy, and installing some new tooling shouldn't take more than a minute nowadays. Looks like Polymer is installed using Bower anyway, which is pretty standard.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ransomware … or far more entertainingly, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reamde (read the novel, not the Wikipedia page)
I did try both and picked HipChat (though I now have a few regrets). Slack's lack of native Windows client was a real bummer and, frankly, I found the Slack interface unnecessarily confusing.
I think they need a "simple" mode or the ability to turn some features off by default.

That said, Slack's integration with 3rd party services like Github is just straight up better than HipChat. And after using it for a while there are a couple of small (fixable!) things about HipChat that are really irritating.
I think don't even understand the point of the author.

For one, I learnt in school that the primary colours where red, green and blue, and later that the substractive primary colours where cyan, magenta and yellow. So nothing different from the RGB/CMYK colour wheels everyone uses.

Second, well nobody will ever be able to create all colours from mixing red, yellow and blue, plain and simple. Unless your red is actually magenta and your blue is actually cyan.

At this point, you have just created a colour picker that uses cyan, magenta and yellow with no easy way to change lightness (without the K scale, you will have to manually change every colour level to match the global lightness you want).

But his implementation has a brightness slider and uses "real" red instead of magenta, and "real" blue instead of cyan, which makes it a BMYK color wheel, and which prevents it from reproducing all colours. Even just setting brightness to the minimum gives a dark brown instead of black, because he's mixing colors from different models.
If you want to run Go directly you can use setcap to run it on port 80, without having to run it as root.

I'm looking for a not-too-large but not-too-small company I can make my home. Ideally, you'd have an engineering team of at least 5-10 people and a product that is bringing in money (even if you're not profitable).

I'm open to different languages and frameworks, provided you can give me time to ramp up on unfamiliar technologies.

My previous experience (1.5 years) is with a small hardware company writing software for manufacturing and testing fiber optic switches. I've been off work for a while due to some medical issues, but I'm as sharp as ever and ready to get back on the horse. If you're a web company, I'd prefer to work in a more backend focused area. Outside of web dev, I'm open to pretty much anything.

Send me an email and I'll definitely get back to you. :)

Yup. I totally agree.
Neat article, but I found it surprising that the author didn't go into a bit more detail about why RGB is used and where it's used. Saying that it's just how computers or televisions deal with it because of monitors only offers a bit of information.

While the explanation of additive and reductive color combining was interesting, I think it's important to note that it's because you're dealing with waves of light being absorbed or reflected.

I learned more about color theory and light in stage lighting classes than anywhere else. Teaching your brain how to combine colors correctly to get the exact shades you're looking for on the stage is hard. You really do have to forget a lot of what you learned in art classes to be effective. Understanding how colored light is absorbed, reflected, or otherwise changed on makeup, furniture, fabrics, and other surfaces added a whole different level of complexity not found in typical art classes.

Searching Google for "stage lighting color wheel" reveals more wheels similar to the one that you see at the author's really cool implementation[0].

IOW, there is no advantage to being a non-profit unless your business is a charitable activity.

I just want to mention - if you want some of those things, such as in-line reply, collapsible comments, CSS fixes (quoting in particular) and new comment indicators, try HNES for Chrome (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-enhanc...) - it makes using the site much more pleasant.

Edit: Was viewing this out of context - there is another mention of HNES up top, I apologize for the repetition.
Obviously the victim isn't the local pizzera its Coinbase. Someone just spent "not very much money" to make them look incredibly bad.

Should be fairly easy to track them down, just analyze the pattern of yellow dots on the color laser print to figure out the make, model, and serial number of the printer making the extortion letters, then contact whichever of coinbase's competitors made those letters and ...

Now if I was thinking a little more clearly I'd figure out how to track them down myself, and let it be known to coinbase's competitor that I'd keep these facts quiet if I was too busy eating pizza bought by, say, 5000 BTC from whichever coinbase competitor made the letters.
Nice,
in my opinion,Sans is better for Titles,and a serif font is better for the body of an article.

Also either push the header to the left,or align the left column with the top of the header,because right now the layout looks unbalanced.

EDIT :

In my opinion the left column is unnecessary.The site could work with 1 column,and the content of the left column could either be push in the header or a footer.

Just my 2 cents ;) Nice Job again,it's responsive !

The byzantine, meandering discussion on the future of the internet
Interesting case. What I understand is that the product not only lack of proof that disadvantaged group benefits from it, but mainly it can be used by institutions that are for profit.

GPL v3

IANAL, but can you modify the license so if the user of your code is a for profit institution, then they are licensed under GPL v3. so the institution will have to make their code available for the community to benefit. Something that for profit institutions are highly allergic to (severe CIO rashes, and COO anaphylactic shocks)

And then can you turn back to the IRS and say that because the licensing schema, if a for profit makes use of the code, it forced to be used for the benefit of the community and not just for their profit?

Or maybe there is the need of a GPL v4 where you cannot make profit using the code released?
I also made a gem for rails called Emcee that does inlining and concatenation: http://github.com/ahuth/emcee.

It also let's you use CoffeeScript or SASS (or anything else that Sprockets recognizes).
His complaints are at least extremely specific. That's valuable regardless of the tone. So many people will say 'this just sucks' without ever being able to articulate why they dislike it even when put on the spot.

Trail of Bits is hiring.

We’re working on many funded research projects focusing on software security, program analysis, compiler construction, trusted computing and network security. We also have a commercial product for automated enterprise security assessment.

We’re looking for enthusiastic hackers, scientists, and engineers to work with us. We have no specific requirements in terms of degrees or years of experience, some of our staff have completed high school, others have graduate degrees. We’d really like to hear from people with strong programming skills in Ruby, C/C++, OCaml, and people with strong reverse engineering and vulnerability analysis skills. If you have experience with systems programming, program analysis (to include dynamic binary instrumentation, symbolic execution, and abstract interpretation), reverse engineering, or application and software security assessment, we’d like to talk to you.

Our primary location is New York City, though remote work is a possibility if the fit is right. Our salaries are competitive, benefits are generous, and our culture is relaxed. In the past, our researchers and engineers have turned their personal projects into funded work. We'd like to do that more, so if you have your own ideas we can help you work on them.

Working at Trail of Bits, you will work closely with some really smart people in the security industry. We also encourage our employees to talk publicly about their work at conferences and on the Internet.

If you are interested and would like to know more, send an e-mail with your resume to dan@trailofbits.com
Is this something really new? I've always thought that for any field of science, there are always those that research for the sake of understanding, and those that study/ research the field to be use as an abstraction for another, more practical field (as noted in http://xkcd.com/435/ ). Even back hundreds of years ago, Newton developed Calculus for physics, but Euler is studying maths for the sake of understanding.
Getable — San Francisco, CA

Getable is a small team (~10 people) working on changing the construction industry by helping contractors order and manage their rental equipment. We focus on producing high quality apps for three separate users: Contractors, Suppliers, and Getable itself.
We develop our applications using a modular approach on both the frontend and backend, using a modern, mostly open source JavaScript based stack: CouchDB, Node, Engine.io, Backbone, and responsive design.

Our frontend is based heavily on Atomic Design and Development, using an open source library we built called Atomify. We optimize for developer happiness and eliminate as many barriers to getting things on production as we can: we don't have any build steps, we have a live reloading component development workflow, and we have tests that run as you write your code.

Most of our apps are very frontend heavy, but our backend is all realtime. We share model code between the server and the client to make interacting with our data easy.
At the end of the day though, none of that is what makes us get out of bed in the morning. It all comes down to creating great feeling interactions to help our users get their jobs done.

Day to Day:

- Participate in the team's direction and come up with new ideas

- Build modules for both the frontend and backend. We embrace open source and modularized development

- Participate in and contribute to product discussions

Requirements:

- Have a passion for building easy to use apps for underserved users

- Love to write small, well tested components that can be reused in many contexts

- Have experience working on large JS codebases with a team of other highly skilled engineers

- Be able to work on both the frontend and the backend - it's all JS

We provide:

- Meaningful equity

- Better than average health plans

- Backed by industry leading VCs

- Opportunities to grow as a leader or individual contributor

- Fun and smart coworkers

Sound like a good deal to you? Apply here: https://angel.co/getable/jobs/30560-software-engineer or email daniel@getable.com
Throwaway0812 thanks for the suggestions! The "group feedback" feature seems an interesting idea. Since we don't have that feature implemented I would suggest that you find a good designer and ask him for feedback. I am sure that with your budget you can get some helpful feedback.
I never asked any OpenSSL guys to work for free for me. Btw. I am contributing to FOSS projects before you are accusing me that I never done anything to the community. I totally understand the responsibilities of open source developers. Having software that supposed to provide security is a huge responsibility and in those projects following best practices (not re-implementing malloc badly, etc.) is insanely important. Just because it is free it does not mean that you can throw out everything we know about software engineering, and it does not justify broken software. There is a tendency in the software community that if it is free it can be crap and nobody can complain about it. This is bad attitude. If you can't write great software just please don't do it and try to hide behind the open source flag.
Thanks for the feedback, we will add a section on how to verify it.
All those high profile merchants who accept bitcoins do require you to share your "billing info" so the argument is moot.
How low a speed are we talking here for maximum focus? Have you tested with different speeds? Would be interesting!

I had a period of a few years where I slept very poorly due to allergies. During that time, I was practicing guitar intensively. Despite lots of practice, my playing ability barely improved the whole time; I was not retaining the muscle memory necessary to continue to improve.

Now I practice much less and focus on my health. My abilities seem to increase on their own on a slow-but-noticeable basis.
