I'm not interested in your opinion of my writing style!

How offensive can you be? It really boggles the mind.
Really like the idea. Very simple and clear implementation.

Here are a few thoughts:
- Try testing some different price points. I noticed the price goes significantly down when not needing 500 codes at once. The 99 Euro starting price is a bit much.
- Somehow the name/logo reminds me of Demonoid. The logo is looking a bit "scene" to me. Try finding some more contemporary style.
- The project is fully automated, right? Try giving 5 codes out for free. Everybody who is planning to use your service will need more codes anyways.
- I want to be able to switch to a U.S. dollars pricing.
I'm sorry but I was hoping they would find the thugs and just beat the hell out of them. I've lived in a real ghetto type of area in Spain where the track suit thugs robbing people were an everyday feature.

I worked w/ FPGAs exclusively for 5 years and still don't have many ideas for using them. (In other words, small ARM computers running Linux are more exciting. And low-power boards like the JeeNode etc)

Actually an interesting arch for me would be small FPGAs together w/ an ARM system, where the FPGA would handle the fast interrupts, buffering things, and communicate w/ the processor when its ready.
In case anybody wonders, the theme used (besides the colors generated by the algo or directly specified) is Flatland (with some minor tweaks). Needless to say if you use a light background, you would typically tell the algo to create darker colors and vice versa (the Flatland theme is pretty dark, so I use pretty light colors by default).

Yeah, they came to power on a platform of communism, switched viciously to totalitarianism while befriending both Burmese junta / drug lords and engineering a stockmarket perfectly designed to hide their ill-gotten gains. Simultaneously they befriended the west and the US in particular and we all know how much the US really cares about the human rights records of its utility-allies in various global regions... http://thalassiana.blogspot.com/2011/02/list-of-dictators-su...

Actually recently the cops have been told not to engage when a crime is occurring, and instead just to take notes. They don't want riots.

Not just do they put severe limits on how many users you can get, they also have strict limits on how you are allowed to display the tweets (most importantly you are not allowed to merge feeds from different social networks into the timeline) which means I can't make the app that I wanted (which would take all the users accounts and merge them together).

Their ability to do this, incidentally, is why I hate oAuth.

I would never use such a tool on my software; the concern is that others will - especially malware authors, who have been obfuscating their creations for as long as malware has existed. Executable packers/encrypters already significantly frustrate analysis by security researchers and antivirus programs; more powerful obfuscation/diversification tools only make it harder to distinguish between benign and malicious software.

Obfuscation makes even legal reverse-engineering (as defined by the DMCA) difficult, meaning that threats like backdoors could become harder to discover. Amusingly enough, the definition of surreptitious that Google gives is quite relevant here: "kept secret, especially because it would not be approved of."

I wonder if these people who are pro-DRM ever find themselves in a situation where the systems they create are used against them, and reconsider the effects of their work.

Except electricity really isn't completely fungible. It entirely dissimilar to something like oil, where once it's transported to a location it's out of your control. If you wanted it to look more fungible, you'd have to give up watt billing and accept volt-amps instead, and even then, what you do to the power line does affect other users regardless. It's only fungible in as much as we've broadly regulated it to act so.

Moreover, the notion that there's a slippery slope is as fallacious as it has ever been. What additional change will be implemented without forethought or public debate, that this change implies?
There'd be the huge extra benefit of dramatically cheaper postal services for people in metropolitan areas, due to competition. The 'profitable' parts of the postal service are profitable because of its status as a monopoly, and represent a deadweight loss to consumers. If rural post was funded by taxation, at least the burden would be distributed more fairly, instead of primarily upon people using metropolitan postal services.

My son has been diagnosed with Asperger's, and after learning more about it, it is painfully clear that both I and my wife and several other close family members have many of the same traits, just not extreme enough to be a "problem".

That is to say, the official DSM-5 definition of autism includes "Symptoms cause clinically significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of current functioning." I definitely feel like I share many of the traits, but they just make me socially awkward rather than significantly impairing me.

So I'll be shocked if there doesn't turn out to be a very significant genetic link. I suspect difficulties so far in finding it have to do with lumping too many people in as "autistic" while excluding too many people who are "sort of autistic." The classes still need a better refactoring. :)

I would expect taxation of all of these -- synthetics included -- to buy the appropriate certification and regulation.

It's also worth noting that the toxicity for some of these, including LSD, is so ridiculously low that as far as the science goes we should be much more concerned about moonshine than blotters.
I agree with the second part of the women: to get more women in your company, or get any kind of diversity for that matter, you have to eliminate the parts of your hiring system (and/or beyond it) that are biased against it. It's upon you to reconcile having a strong company culture with one being open to diversity and not about "people like us" but open to all individuals.

It's not about #yesallwomen, because having more privileged white middle-class women on your team isn't the answer to your problem. If privileged white middle-class women are the only kind of (social, not just superficial) diversity you're willing to have, your problem is that your company values are centered about "people like us" and allowing a female version of "people like us" isn't going to fix it.

There are more undue inequalities and biases out there than the ones against women. Open your eyes towards all of them.

Ask HN: Fastest static site host?
My Jekyll website is currently powered by a shared web hosting plan from HostGator with unlimited disk space & bandwidth (CloudFlare enabled).

I've heard about Heroku which hosts websites for free and GitHub Pages. I won't exceed 2TB bandwidth/month nor do I need more than 300 MB space so I comply with both GitHub Pages & Heroku's limitations.

Which of the following will serve the website fastest to users (and with the max uptime)?

Shared web hosting (I deploy via rsync)
GitHub Pages
Heroku with 1x dyno
Amazon CloudFront

I think shared web hosting is slower than the other options. So, what should I use? Is there any other option which is better than all these?

My website gets about 15k pageviews/daily.

These words aren't German borrowings, so that isn't related at all. The ae in this class of words is from Latin æ (ultimately from Greek αι). The ae->e shift was an attempt at spelling simplification, to remove some vestigial Latinisms, but only partially succeeded.
This could really work! I think Twitter is much more about building an public identity than let's say Facebook. If they would allow their user to run minimal budget campaigns this could become much more successful/relevant than the typical Twitter ads.

As an aside, my web dev company runs about 10 web sites for theatre companies and all of them spell their names ending in 're' while the venues they play at spell their names ending in 'er'.

The first time we signed up one of these companies, I asked about the spelling and was given the same history as outlined in the article. With the second company that signed us, we mis-typed theatre and were taken to the woodshed for making the error.

So we are used to spelling it as theatre in the correct use of the word and are surprised the NY Times has not for many years.

I'd expect it to be many orders of magnitude easier to create "objective" LSD than mushrooms since we already have a pharmaceutical industry in place that does that for thousands of different kinds of medicine.

Mushrooms are a complex cocktail of stuff that affects the user in different ways, so there's no one scale on which mushroom A is a 3 and mushroom B is a 6 in such a way that two of A is roughly B. Rather, it's a multitude of scales with complex interplay.
You're in for some future fun, then. I'm "Mr. Magoo" myopic, but in my late 40s the presbyopia fairy dropped in for an extended visit (and still hasn't indicated any desire to go home). So I have different needs for distance vision, for "conversational distance", for monitor distance and for the reading of tiny things, and there are gaps into which things may fall a well. Depending upon which field of range you're talking about (and which eye) I require correction somewhere between +3 and -6 dioptres. It is definitely a hassle, and quite unlike my carefree four-eyed youth.

> It's somewhat comforting to know that my way of spelling the word isn't wrong

It might even be more comforting to know that your way is actually more correct, in a traditionalist sense: the Anglo-French theatre comes directly from Greek théatron (through Latin thĕātrum). Somehow "your country" is bent on morphing the word for whatever reason, similarly to what they are doing to center/centre.

Honest question: in tobacco growing regions, people would be able to grow tobacco plants in their backyards and thus be able to produce "moonshine tobacco", bypassing the high taxation of tobacco.

Ask HN: How do i pay my bills?
Hey, I'm a silent follower of the hacker news community.

I have been working in tech space since 4-5 years and have significantly developed my skills as a techie.

I started two startups in my college but failed.

After that worked with a startup offering me good salary, while at job i started working on an idea and build a prototype around it. When i market-tested the prototype it seemed like a good idea to be profitable. So in excitement i left my well paying job. Only to realize that i never made a single $ from it in next 3-4 months and realized that i need to spend few thousand dollars to make it properly execute (from prototype to full product).

I then came up with an interesting problem to be solved by hardware/machine which i'm designing, prototyping since last 2 months.

But i realized that there is no money left in my bank to pay my bills (rent, electricity, internet, hardware purchases) and i can't ask my parents simply because they themselves are going through financial crunch. I have some full-time job offers but i want to focus on my hardware research for at-least next 6 months.

What i'm looking is for: I need to find ways to make ~$1000 a month to be able to meet my costs.

As a developer i'm very good in following:

- Python, Golang, JavaScript
- REST APIs
- Designing/Building MVPs
- Testing Products (as user and even writing test frameworks)
- Advising people to choose best tech-stack according to their needs.

And I've in-build capability to pick-up/learn things/concepts quickly.

But i'm not able to find a way to make money using my skills without doing a full-time job.

Is it possible that i spend working 1 week (remotely) for someone and make around ~$1000 and then stay focused to my work OR may be spend some hours every week (let's say 1 or 2 day) through-out month doing client's work.

How do i start? What are the options? Can i earn ~$1000 a month working for limited no. of hours?

Please advice or help.
