Thanks for doing Picturelife! Saw it in one of the comment threads here and have been using it since.

Love the custom S3 backing especially and the speed you guys move at (Lightroom support and Android updates came out so fast) as well as your amazing support (don't know how Amy puts up with me)!

Just recommended you to a friend in fact :)

The only thing I'd change at the moment would be to make a Cloud backend API so that customers can plug in Dropbox, Google Drive, Box.net etc. with something simple like a URL, separating storage from display etc.

Oh and it'd nice to have the option to pay you $2 or $3 since I'm using S3 :)

I have access to some private servers, together with friends we try new stuff or just get services working for fun (we are students). That results in some mailaccounts for me. Access over imap. I use geary and claws-mail

Mail should be considered insecure because the cert infrastructure is kind of broken. I dont know why, but for some reason mailserver's server-to-server certs are quite short. You barely get over 256/512 bit key length.
Nope, that's just delegating the problem to the trust chain - it assumes that the TPM does as it should be; and that noone in the chain ever signs anything wrong. That assumption is obviously wrong, there are many public incidents that show that the core signing keys of pretty much any 'trusted organization' can be used by three letter agencies to sign malicious code as, say, valid windows updates; and that both hardware and OS should be assumed to contain backdoors - especially in the TPM chain.

In addition, having a true and valid hash of my OS, software and config doesn't give you any true assurance - a security hole in that software or OS can easily give an ability to execute arbitrary code, so the "proper configuration" can behave in whatever way, despite being verified. That's what I meant by saying that you can't be sure if it's not doing anything bad, even if you completely control the node - if the underlying math ensures that reading or altering X isn't possible, then it's okay; but otherwise you have to hope/trust that it doesn't. This is meant by zero-knowledge systems as opposed to 'secure' systems that simply ignore knowledge that they shouldn't look at.
I sleep. Its going to sound really weird but over the years i have constructed this alternate reality. A whole universe over the years i have built up in my mind, and whenever i am angry, or depressed, i lie down on a bed, pretend i am in this alternate reality and it helps me relax and slip into a peaceful slumber :)
Whenever I wait for Xcode to build I doodle random stuff on my notebook. It helps me relax throughout the day.

And one day you 'wake up' in that reality and struggle to remember if this reality was in fact the dream all along? :)

(in fairness I find it entirely possible to wake up and spend a few moments weeding out the real from a dream)
Lifting weights works for me also. I used to go to gym intensively for 2 months, about 2-3 times a week. It also helped me with my tics, I felt relaxed even day after. The only negative is I was always hungry :)
Stellar itself seems to be scamming people:

"50% of the total will be distributed to people who sign up for an account."

Once you sign up for an account, you find out that you only receive stellars if you log in with Facebook ... if you want to build trust, you should be more transparent. You also need some way of including users who don't have Facebook (and/or Google) accounts.
When im unmotivated, i just open some file, look around my code and somewhere i find something i really, really want to change/fix (i have tons of unfinished private projects). And thats my 'initial motivation'
Oh don't get me wrong. I agree with you. Software security — actually scratch that — security in general is harder in 2014 and by correlation more challenging to boot. I meant that security research used to be more fun before Assange, Snowden, and the NSA came along.

I still love security and have become better at it throughout the years, but the ambience of conspiracy and the out of touch with reality legal ramifications and obstacles make me long for the days when "security was fun".

Or maybe I'm just old now and I'm just reminiscing the good ol days.
Shooting people. Airsoft, so it's not as bad as it sounds ;)
So? Given that the German economy seems to be doing rather fine this just seems to indicate that this is a useless index then.
Of course you should be. But it still should generate warnings and force you to override some fairly impressive 'do you know what you are doing?' warnings.
For a second there I thought this had something to do with Bertha, the tropical storm.

It is a pretty big error by New Yorker standards. I expect it will be fixed.
This is exactly how I felt about many of Medium.com's recent changes to their editor. It was well loved before because it was very straight-forward -- enter title, write piece. Now there's all kinds of options and flexibility and customization, and it's turning into just another online writing platform.
I assume you are perfectly adjusted and have no regrets then.

Intense exercise early in the day, before doing anything "real": Reduces the boiling point.

Playing music later in the day or when stuck. Electric guitar 12 bar power chord blues with amp set on raunch or viola aiming for tones of delicate beauty, depending on mood.
I just had this dream where I was up in Syracuse and trying to catch this bus and things kept going wrong and when I finally got on the bus I argued with the driver and said I shouldn't have to pay and he kicked me off and then when I got on the next one it went to the wrong place.

In the middle of all this I was waking up and falling back asleep so I knew it was a dream and then I saw my kid running and thought I had to chase after him and some women said, "Just go do what you want" and instead of chasing after him I went and did what I wanted.

And thanks to them for that. Because the moment someone uses a political label like that the whole discussion usually goes haywire. I wish people would stop labeling everything by random political ideologies.

It makes exactly as much sense as saying: "classes are bad because they are Javish, and we all know how Java is bad because it asks you to provide megabytes of XML just to print 'Hello World'". This is what I hear when someone says "hey, this is marxist/communist/liberal/whatever speech".

Seriously, labeling like that is a cognitive equivalent of drunk driving - probably fun, but sheer idiocy.
I guess many might like to portray their lifestyle as exercising regularly, having deep and intellectual conversations while socializing (without alcohol, because it's a social lubricant), learning foreign languages, and snacking on carrots and brocolli with yogurt dip when they want to treat themselves.

...but I think most people would consider your lifestyle to be quite reasonable and balanced. :)
No, supply and demand have not balanced out.

From what I've heard here in South America, a common salary goes from 25 - 50 US$/hr for experienced remote freelance developers. That works out to a pretty decent salary that's above local market rates.

The keys are:
- good English
- experienced developers
- above local market rates (but usually below market rates where the client lives)

I expect this market to continue to evolve and expand, there's really no reason for it not to.
>>No, it didn't, and I have already explained why in previous posts. The words about May polls come from respected sociologist and author of The Guardian.

So prove your conspiracy theory that shows Wikipedia, BBC et al wrong and the votes really were 96+%(!).

Post exact links and quotes that show the May poll was correct.
Play with my baby. Before that either weights, cycling or videogames (Halo or Rez work for me).

What is "unneccessary" about death metal? Fine if you don't like it any more, but I don't think there is anything wrong with listening to it. I can listen to music like that as background music, to get pumped up, and sometimes even when I'm trying to sleep.

But then again, I'm not the kind of person who adjusts my playlists according to my mood (sad, energized, happy, melancholic, ...).

The point of free software is you can do what you want with it, including fixing it if needs be. I believe Stallman started the movement from frustration that he couldn't fix a problem in some software he used.

A good route to the flow state. Still spend altogether too much time staring at computers though. Bouldering is fun.
+1 for going for a bike ride. It'd be nice to be able to go running, but it just doesn't do it for me. It's boring. On a bike, you're slightly removed from the world - going through it, but not plodding along connected to it. Also, you can go somewhere. It's not hard to do 50/60 k in a few hours, which means you can vary your route a lot more than running.
Personally, while the research is interesting, I think it's also being far too overused as justification to remove/not add options. The common counterargument of "just use another product that does have the option you want" often turns out to be as fruitless - that other product may not have some option you want (that this one does), due to the same reasoning!

I also fundamentally disagree that removing choices is a good thing - the research says it makes (most?) people feel better, which suggests that they don't want to think about making any choices because it is somehow difficult for them and causes anxiety. Logically, this means they would be most satisfied and happy if they didn't have to make any choices or do any thinking at all, and something/someone else made all the decisions for them - the equivalent of having no freedom or control over one's life. Is this really what we want society to become?

"Making choices is hard, so just give up"? To me, that's where it looks like things are heading, and quite frankly it's a rather disturbing trend. I most definitely do not want to have nearly every decision in my life made by someone else, and find the anxiety/difficulty of the process to be absolutely normal.

Maybe there is a good balance somewhere in between, but I'm definitely strongly biased in the direction of being able to have the freedom to make choices, no matter how difficult, and take control of my life.
About your first point, I don't think that's true.

For example, I visit the store to buy toothpaste. I might see 25 different kinds of Colgate, and 1 kind of Crest. Personally, I'd likely buy the Crest, because I can't decide between all the Colgate options of Ultrabrite, Optic White, Sparkling White, Sensitive, Sensitive Pro-Relief, Max Fresh, 2in1, Cavity Protection, Total, Total Advanced, Total Action, and Triple Action (these are all real names, and they have more).

You're saying I should see 26 individual options to compare and be overwhelmed with choice. However, if I buy Crest, I'm happy. This is because I trust their knowledge of toothpaste over my own, and pass the decision making to them. I assume their single option has the best formula. If I choose between Ultrabrite, Sparkling White and Optic White from Colgate, I'm less satisfied, because I'm unsure if I made the right choice, because I don't have a PhD in toothpaste.

This is no different than software. If Bing releases 100 new options to customize your experience with the search engine, does this make you less satisfied with using Google? Does it make you feel overwhelmed in choice? Not at all, if anything, you're even more happy with Google now. We just assume when someone gives us less choice, they're making the right choices for us.
The article attempts to convey a sense of how Americans felt about the Apollo program as it happened - deeply ambivalent.

Looking back, we (especially, we, the arch-geek community on HN) see heroic levels of optimism and success, progress writ large. But in the late '60s and early '70s, just as the Apollo program was hitting its stride, the American public had lost faith in science and technology and experts as providers of progress; many were turning to evangelical churches, polarized political positions, etc.

Studying history as "just the facts" is trite and tedious. Finding good history that conveys that sense of culture and perception as it was as those facts occurred is difficult but ultimately very rewarding.

Lesson for the future? Not sure. That's not as easy as reading the lesson of the past.
Im not aware of cases where someone used my authentification without my knowledge.

And doing... never something professional.
Some scriptkiddie stuff in my younger years, expanding privileges in our school systems oder experimenting with sql injections on an (accidentally) unprotected site. Just messinf things up and try what is possible to do.
And copying the lecturers scripts from an encrypted usb drive while it was mounted (kind of trojan? just a program which does its job and removes itself).

And i used a keylogger to get access to a classmate's facebook account, and everytime he defaced someones fb (we was one of the guys checking every pc in the lab for loggin in fb accounts) i did the same to him. Im not very proud of this.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). Getting choked for 90 minutes really puts your day into perspective. Also, it's great exercise.
Bouldering and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are great pass times for that. Not only to blow off some steam, but also it's possible to easily get in great shape if you hate running/gym as I do.

I believe cron does not have a seconds field:

From "man 5 crontab":

cron(8) examines cron entries once every minute.
The time and date fields are:

field allowed values
----- --------------
minute 0-59
hour 0-23
day of month 1-31
month 1-12 (or names, see below)
day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)

A field may be an asterisk (*), which always stands
for "first-last".

Ranges of numbers are allowed. Ranges are two
numbers separated with a hyphen. The specified
range is inclusive.

For example, 8-11 for an "hours" entry specifies
execution at hours 8, 9, 10 and 11.

Lists are allowed. A list is a set of numbers (or
ranges) separated by commas. Examples: "1,2,5,9",
"0-4,8-12".
I'm not sure why this got downvoted. They are charging 0.03BTC (which Google tells me is USD 17) for a 8GB SDHC card with software preinstalled. This seems pretty steep for something that anyone can setup in a couple of minutes easily. Heck, someone can even distribute the exact same thing in the form of an ISO image for free.
I understand your thinking - but I do believe that discussion of the ethics surrounding technology have a place on HN.

Not to mention that this question leads directly to the "how to build a successful business on OSS" question, which is itself of direct interest to many here - and that question is itself entwined with questions of ethics and law (copyright and trademark law, contract and employment law, ethical questions of balancing proprietary and community code and access, etc.).

It doesn't matter if the cereal I bought tastes good or bad, I'll always wonder if the other option would have been better. Until I taste the other cereal, I'm left questioning my decision, and being unhappy.

In this case you would probably be able to try the other option at some time in the future, so why would you be unhappy? I'd definitely do that, and probably alternate between the two if they seem equally good.

I step away from work and focus on fixing little tiny things around the house I've been putting off for a while.

Switch lightbulbs, clean drains, vacuum the attic, etc. 2 hours of this and I'm happy because:

a) I took my mind off work.

b) I fixed up my house something fierce.

I would love to buy and ride a bike but I would get run over by a car or stabbed here in Bolivia.
I can't recall having been hacked personally (I did some fooling around on a public network in my ex-dorm, was fun), but I recall that the local government's anti-cyber crime division's website was owned. It was a fail of epic proportions. Someone found an old Joomla! exploit (a simple SQLi attack on a forgotten password form) and changed the credentials to admin:admin.

It was a big scandal in the news and the police, as scapegoats, arrested two 19-year-olds who just happened to log in with admin:admin and actually leave their names on the front page of the website. The fuckers weren't able to catch anyone besides them, let alone the original perpetrator. The guys were fined and I think they actually got a short jail sentence.

I once ran a public web server on a No-IP domain, and my lighttpd logs were full of hundreds and hundreds of probes (I assume all automated) for some common exploits and security holes. I had some script kiddies attempt to sneak in SQL injection attacks (I was using MongoDB so they were out of luck) and even try some stupid shit like entering '>exec("echo 1"); into my forms (to this day I'm not sure what that was supposed to do) and whatnot.
This is really cool.

My one gripe is that it uses the crummy Atari 2600 version of the Space Invaders sound effects, when the analog-synthesized arcade soundtrack is the one that everyone remembers.

So if you have high IQ you have more success in devising coping strategies - not exactly rocket science.

You don't cure Autisiam/Dyslexia or these sorts of learning disabilities you develop strategies to cope.
Weightlifting definitely turned my life around.

When I can't go to the gym, pullups are a good substitute and I highly recommend everyone get a pullup bar. I do a set or three every time I go to the bathroom and it helps clear my mind and restore my self-confidence.

That's what forests and mountains are for, you don't need to ride on roads. Get a mountain bike!
I go fishing.
Paypal already have an Android Wear app (not my payment solution of choice, but that's a start).
The platform is pretty much what I have been hoping for, for quite some time : situation triggered glance-able cards.
It is not perfect (as with any v1 platform, even one based on an existing one) but the platform has a lot of potential.
Now I am mostly waiting for fashionable android wear watches.
It looks like the Moto 360 will be the first one of that kind (even though I fear it might be just a little too big).
Short term: I go take a walk. 45 minutes to an hour of brisk walking around the city in places where I don't have to stop much for cars.

Longer term: I'll just take a day off, email cow-orkers that I'm out that day, and go motorcycling in the mountains. I started doing this 25 years ago; having a hobby that has nothing to do with computers helps a lot. (I'm not a crazy rider, I wear all the safety gear, have a bike with ABS and so on).

Vacations: I like to go somewhere and read books for a week. I seldom get to have this kind of vacation, but it's my ideal one.

There is balance but it's not easy to find.

If I visit a restaurant, and they only serve chicken, that's kind of limited. Now, they give me the option of beef or chicken. Ok, this is a decision I can make, and be confident in selecting. Now, what happens if they ask whether I would like northwestern chicken, southern chicken, grain fed chicken, or korean chicken? Huh? I'm not a master of chicken, just give me the best one.

We hit a point where I no longer have a strong opinion, and this is where my confidence drops, and I start to question myself. This means they've given me too much choice.

This isn't the same for everyone, someone out there knows their chicken inside and out, and they have a preference for one specific type. If you want to cater your restaurant towards those people then give them that choice. However, you'll be scaring away the average person at the same time.

For the same reason it's difficult to make an application for casual and advanced users. Pick your audience, and that'll give you some guidance on the appropriate amount of choice to include.
Coincidentally I just got back from a longish bike ride. Another +1 from me :)

It does require some upfront investment in learning to navigate your city and region on bicycle as opposed to on car, but I think it's well worth it.
I grew up in the 80's and got into Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth etc. I still love that music, and I can basically fall asleep to it. But I find that I'm just not angry enough to get into any new metal.

When I was about 16 my dad walked into my room and said, "No one's going to be listening to this garbage in 20 years. It's just noise." He wasn't upset or anything, he just couldn't hear any music in metal. Sorry dad, pretty sure you were wrong about that!

I don't know for sure that I was within the rules. I simply didn't pay attention to them. I remember understanding that in the US it is as you say and I would not be able to work for a company outside the US. I should have done more research but it was all spur of the moment, all I really cared about was how long I was able to stay in each country.

I was a bit surprised to read this, I've been running a story for nearly 20 years now. I greatly attribute this lingering bit of my childhood to my consistent ability to reliably detach from life's problems and enjoy my sleep.

When i was very young i would act out the stories to distract myself from fear of the dark at night before i slept. It had utility in college and high school because i sometimes got tied up in knots of regret if i thought too much at late late hours. In industry, it made a great way to force my brain away from stress and thoughts of work. I just pick up roughly where i left off and play out the story until i am asleep.
Sounds way too familiar.
