I know plenty of dutch people (in the thousands) but know only very few that are substance abusers. I know tons of people visiting NL too (mostly because I don't mind showing people around and I'm in online contact with quite a few people as well) and only a very small number of them don't mention the fact that drugs are legal and that this is one of their drivers for going there.

Especially in the 18-35 bracket, above that it gets a bit less wild (naturally).

All the university cities have a relatively high proportion of substance abuse and quite a lot of that will be locals in the student age bracket.

But when comparing locals to tourists the tourists definitely make up a disproportionally large chunk of the drug users. And not all of them come for a few days, quite a few people move to NL permanently because of the lax drugs laws and end up in the social care system.

It's sad because really nobody wins there and there are no easy solutions. Re-criminalizing drugs will be followed by a significant increase in crime and the Dutch ability to influence the countries around them to adopt similar legislation is without any chance of succeeding.
There used to be a FTP client for linux called kevlarftp (it was a OSS clone of the bulletproof ftp client). Dupont lawyers raised copyright issues against the product name. The author promptly gave up and the software was renamed to "kftp"
Why is that relevant? _diminish_ points out misleading marketing in the HN post title. It aggrevates me as well, even though the presentation on their web site is nice and all that.

_edit_: I can see that your post is relevant with regards to (3) - "problem solved for the first time". They may have some features that no others have, such as alerts. There are many similar apps though. One example: Netlimiter http://www.netlimiter.com/

Well, 'most people' not on tablets I guess. Scroll wheels are on just about every mouse now and even mousepads have that functionality.

I think the number of people that realizes that 'page down' also works is shrinking as more and more people move to non-keyboard ways of navigation.

> This sounds straight up criminal. Carrying a GPS enabled phone and mapping the route driven should gather enough evidence to persuade regulators to take action.

This happened to me multiple times in the US, Europe and Asia generally when taking a taxi from the airport or a railway station. And I know first hand that tired customers in a hurry in a foreign country don't have time, energy and determination to gather evidence or argue. This willingness to give up a fight is likely a contributing factor to the continued prevalence of the practice.

I dislike many of Uber's business practices, but ride sharing in general is a great way to leverage technology to solve the above problem.

Any tips for a newbie in app business?
I particularly found map #4, the Federal Reserve map, to be very interesting. An artifact of politics from days gone by the still has influence today. Does the Fed always move as whole or is there any real infighting going on there?

However with such a wealth of information I am sure as I go through the rest I will find something else to take up my day

okay, #35 creeps me out. Having read a story on how difficult it is to get people to use toilets even after the government went on a building spree I can understand how the map can look so extreme
I think it may be easier to help a billion people, in certain contexts, if you don't focus on making a billion in the process. People in my team decided that a decent salary is sufficient. Helping at least a billion people is the goal.
Treating heroin addiction as a medical problem is why I've been clean for two years, after being an addict for 6. Australia is surprisingly okay on this front all things considered. If I was afraid of being arrested for seeking help, then I can guarantee I wouldn't be here today. An acquaintance overdosed once, and we called an ambulance straight away -- if I had lived in a place where a drug overdose means a police car following the ambulance, he would be dead. The fact it was illegal stopped exactly nobody...

Anyway, I'm glad I got help. Life's too good to throw it away :)

I think the pages are quite beautiful.

But I agree about the scrolling. Even on an ipad, which I think is the standard device these days, the scrolling is broken at times. Sometimes I swipe up and a new page scrolls in. Ok. Sometimes I swipe up and some content scrolls in from the side. Ok. But sometimes I swipe up and nothing happens. Thats a bit confusing.

He did go a little away from the topic, but you did (roughly) say that, even if it wasn't the crux of your point.

> " Every company is, to some extent, an underdog against governments."

Why would "Gilded Age robber barons" be excluded from that statement? And he went to them based on the fact that you also mentioned that period of time (and regulation that affected them).

So while I wouldn't have written that reply myself, it's fairly obvious how he got to it from your comment

Counterpoint to "not practical": We have a dashboard at work that displays, amongst other things, the CI build status. For reasons I won't go into, we cannot change the HTML. We can change the CSS though, using Stylish. The "build failed" / "build succeeded" icons were incredibly non-obvious and developers weren't paying much attention to them.

Now, through a series of seriously horrendous CSS hacks, they display as really nice flat design green checks and crosses. Given that this dashboard only ever displays in literally one browser, on one big screen, it was completely acceptable to use CSS hacks to achieve the look I wanted.

It was sites such as this one that helped me figure out how to twist a single HTML element into what I needed. Particular shout-out to http://nicolasgallagher.com/pure-css-gui-icons/demo/

> Firefox OS considerably lowers the barriers to entry for app developers

For someone who is trying to get into mobile app development for Firefox OS, what would the recommended phone be? I know where to get Android and iOS phones (and also know which ones are best), what about Firefox OS ones - which ones are good and where can I get one of them? (preferably from EU)
Validate it before making other marketing attempts.
Also: I don't maximize browser windows so I can see two things side by side, so my browser is probably 800 px across, this means that for this website (and an increasing number of other websites such as noexcuselist.com) I get the mobile version. Thanks responsive design!
Ah different blog then.

I would have wanted it to have GPS on board and it hasn't, so it's not for me anyway. Still too bad it's not available outside of India. I don't think it would take off like the Raspberry Pi but it would make a super cheap phone with decent capabilities to tinker with, or just to use as a secondary when you go to places where an expensive phone isn't safe. For this price you only get feature phones here, nothing with a modern OS.
Yes, the plan is to release a browser extension pretty soon. With the extension you will be able to track content in pages which require authentication.

We'll about the catch part, they're pretty open about that on the front page. They intend to implement new features just for paying customers. Over time I'm guessing the business value of the free product will decline while the paid one will rise.
Your sense of entitlement is simply staggering.

Why do you assume that your attention is so valuable that developers should go out of their way to cater specifically to you? The number of people who disable JS is statistically insignificant.

You have chosen to break your web experience, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Fleep, the Team Messaging App Built and Funded by Ex-Skypers
I wonder how this is going to work. I've been using an add-on to pin certificates for a half a year now and it's a hell on some websites. It nicely worked for my bank for a while, but they now employ the same technique as Google, Twitter, Facebook, Akamai, etc., changing certificates and even their CA seemingly at random. You'd think I'm being MITM'd but I'm pretty sure that's not actually the case.

Edit: I should read more closely, found it:

> the list of acceptable certificate authorities must be set at time of build for each pinned domain.

So it's directly in Firefox' source code right now. Pretty much useless for anyone but a few big sites.

And the pinning RFC doesn't sound much better. It makes the client store something about sites they visited, which roughly translates to supercookies.
You might expect someone to google amazon + warehouse before accusing people of talking "drivel," though.
"I know plenty of dutch people (in the thousands) but know only very few that are substance abusers."

What do you mean by substance abuse? And, how much do you really know about the drug habits of your thousands of acquaintances?
They are.

Google for sure, and Mozilla maintains a list of them that ships with Firefox. If that isn't the ultimate level of trust (deciding which CAs your browser will trust) then I don't know what is.

With DANE it's immediately visible who you have to trust, and that can't easily be changed. If it's a .se domain then you know that only the Swedish govt can MITM that, with the current CA model any CA is able to authorize a MITM.
Excuses for not using 802.11u it do exist: client support simply isn't there. iOS only supports it since 7, Android doesn't support it (and will not generally for many years even if Android L does include it), Windows doesn't support it generally, OS X doesn't appear to have support for it, the list probably goes on. It will take 5 years at minimum before hotspot owners will provide this functionality, as there needs to be major client adoption first.

Just because your solution is problematic doesn't however mean that your point is not correct. The problem here is indeed with captive portals.

I believe both Windows and Android give you notifications that there is a captive portal active, but it will just open it in your default web browser instead of a dedicated one.
Warranty
Generally warranty has different meanings but more often it means a guarantee which provides assurance from one side to the other one that some particular facts or conditions are true or are going to happen. In case of Lemon law it is a guarantee of quality of a product provided by manufacturer. If your car is a lemon, that is to say it doesn’t correspond with the quality given in the warranty, then you have right to demand compensation, another car or other legal ways to have your money back.
Be aware of your rights and don’t let anyone cheat on you.

I can't speak for the YC experience, but in my opinion acquiring users for a product they won't stick with is like pouring water into a leaky bucket - you need to patch up the bucket first.

I don't know the details of your situation, but based on what you've written, I'd first get your product to the point where your users love it and are going to keep using it. (Note that it doesn't have to be 'finished' at this point - just loved. It's possible for users to love a product you consider unfinished!) Then and only then would I ramp up user acquisition efforts.

> ... it's just an off-the-shelf tumblr theme ...

That makes it worse - they've looked at it, chosen it, and it actively breaks the users' experience and detract from the content. The fact that it's a readily available theme just means that other people will choose it because they think it looks nice, without regard for their readers. Again.

Eurgh.
Not really; I was highlighting that every editor is not going to add support for every new javascript framework's proprietary implementations. There are tons of tools out there for JavaScript that you can run on any plain JavaScript, and almost none for all these syntaxes.

I don't just mean code-completion and debugging, but things like validators/linters and other static analysis tools; code coverage, formatting, refactoring.

It's not a good use of time for every IDE to try and implement every one of these for every crazy JS framework.

If we stick to using languages as they're intended (and defined), we'd have full coverage for these tools.
We do the programming :)

Most devices like this have an online and an offline mode, using cellular or WiFi connections. The process is usually, the officer writes the ticket, if it's in online mode, it transmits that to a web service, which then enters it in a database. If it's offline, it just stores it until it goes online.

Sometimes, during development or when fixing a deployed app, you want to get inside the container environment to poke around. Just to work out why the hell something did or didn't happen.

Right now it is difficult. Docker doesn't support it directly. There is a lot of demand for it:

https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/1228

You have to use nsenter, which is OK, but requires additional installation:

There's a good reason for that.

Traditionally, HTML layouts are not designed to specify any kind of vertical behavior. There is no "vertical" in HTML. How the interface works (your browser) and how it is used (up-down scrolling) naturally imposed a scaling on width, not on height.

Misconception. being behind a NAT without a firewall is a very useful nothing in terms of security, because one is basically a static route away from being reachable. It just happens that masquerading is coupled with packet dropping in most appliances and configurations. Only the firewall protects you.

>if it fails for any reason, they bring up a modal panel showing the captive portal

AFAIK, technically, there's no standard address for a captive portal's location so iOS probably tries to navigate to a website. The router then poisons the DNS response and the captive portal loads. Android devices do the same thing to my knowledge. My Samsung pops up a notification that when tapped opens the browser and tries to navigate to Google. If a login happens before the user opens the notification (for example, by an app running a background service like the Fonera app) the notification is cleared automatically.
