Hmm, what you are suggesting in the beginning sounds just like Quassel:

It is a Bouncer with full PostgreSQL database of the whole log, full search functionality, a shared history between users of the same bouncer, etc.

There are clients as a website (runs on node.js), for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android.

So, if someone would add the missing features to Quassel, we could make that one the new new HipChat.

My very cursory reading on the subject indicate that polls have shown that Scots truly expect a major economic downturn if they secede; however they may be willing to bear that price if it will free them from a government they feel does not represent them. So, this isn't really a useful commentary on the referendum; they know the economic issues but might not care.

What then, do you say to the idea of the Shetlands declaring independence from Scotland if Scotland declares independence from the UK? I think they might have the same arguments you put forth...
You'd have a really hard time arguing those as damages in court. And then you'd have an even harder time arguing that it was in fact Home Depot that was responsible.

The current UK Government has agreed to honor this referendum.
I think you are forgetting that EMV cards introduce the concept of digitally signing a transaction. That signature is then checked by the payment card processor and if it matches then the charge goes through. The signatures are performed by the chip on the card using a non-exportable certificate. This provides the "proof of presence" for the card and makes duplicating the EMV portion virtually impossible. This doesn't stop the other portions of the card from being stolen, but if merchants force EMV only transactions, stolen credentials cannot be used. It's a step in the right direction.
22nm isn't their leading edge process any more, 14nm is.

22nm has been out for several years now. Intel can get good economies of scale by using their big 450mm wafers (other fabs use 300mm)

No. It's pegged to nothing.

>Once the market has reached a consensus that BitUSD should be valued the same as a real US Dollar no one will be able to trade against that consensus without losing money. Thus the value of BitUSD today is based upon the prediction of what market participants will value BitUSD at in the future. There is only one rational way to speculate, that the consensus will hold, and that creates a self-enforcing market peg.

In other words, basically bitusd is supposed to follow usd because it has 'usd' in its name. It's beyond ridiculous.
Thanks! I'll work to get the print stylesheet onto the private url, that's a pretty important one I think.
I've been screwed by identity theft before.
I'm surprised this has picked up a fancy name and full libraries for so many languages. Not to mention the use of "JWT" as the acronym, which is already famous for "Java Web Toolkit". It's just an HMAC token for validating the integrity of the data - it proves the data has not been modified, that's it. People have been using this for years, perhaps most popularly used by Facebook to sign API requests and responses.

A side note for anyone considering the use of timestamps within the payload for expiry: note that if you are going to have multiple machines verifying expiries, they will need to be using NTP to ensure that all machines have the same current timestamp at all times.
It doesn't protect the information but it does protect a user from the re-use of the information because the physical card is needed to perform an EMV transaction.

Banks are switching to the EMV system because they can place the liability on the merchant if a fraudulent transaction is performed through them when they could have required an EMV transaction (thereby preventing the fraud).
> This confusion springs from the idea that inflation is a pro-debtor policy.

we have made debt slightly less awful to be in, at the cost of making the entire world run on debt, and putting as many people into debt as possible.

Depends on where you shop, but some places will give you cash discounts of 3-5%, which is more than most CC rewards pay. Admittedly it's not as widespread.
How Minorities Have Fared in States with Affirmative Action Bans
Get your facts straight. First of all the Act of Union in 1707 came about because Scotland had bankrupted itself in the Darien scheme.

The question is not whether the Scots are capable for governing themselves, but whether that option will give better benefits to the people living there. On the basis of the facts that seems unlikely. But facts seem to be in short supply on the Yes side.

The most important problem is that the Nationalists have no idea what they will use as a currency. They say there will be a currency union with the rest of the UK, but all the major UK parties say that won't happen. If Scotland becomes independent it cannot force other countries to deal with it. It can't make a currency union if the other side doesn't want it. Similarly, it can't say there will be no border controls because it doesn't get to choose what's on the other side of the border. The English could put up a huge fence (and may have to) and there's absolutely nothing the Scots can do about it.

As Krugman points out if they go it alone with their own currency they will be at the whims of international capital, which will not look kindly on an unproductive welfare state that is dependent on highly volatile oil revenues (and that's if they even have a valid claim to the oil).

You say that "a people who govern themselves have a chance to grow" but what if you are wrong? What if, instead, the people who are governing are incompetent and foolish? Is there something in the Scottish water that makes their politicians trustworthy paragons of virtue. There is absolutely no guarantee that Scotland will turn out like Norway. Hope is not a policy.

As for Alex Salmond, it is about him. He has divided the country already by amplifying minor grudges against the English into political issues that have split the people. If the vote is a close yes then 50% of the people will already be disenfranchised. So much for "always getting the government you vote for".

The best option would have been for a federal system, but Braveheart-ism mixed with greed and envy have take over. Logic is useless on people like you who have an emotional desire to for their own Socialist paradise.

I can only hope wiser heads will prevail.
If you were very paranoid would you rely exclusively on security through obscurity?

I've seen a bunch of these kinds of posts about how software engineers don't get paid enough and it seems to me that a lot of people have this misconception about software engineers. We are part of the labor market just like everyone else. While their is a lot of skill and creativity involved in software development, your work can likely be replicated by someone else, and if that someone else can do your job for a cheaper price, companies are going to hire the cheaper person.

I've got a 6 figure offer coming out of college and not one of my business/engineering friends are making anything close to that. Other majors will make even less. My brother works for a top consulting firm doing the "evil business" and charges clients 300+ an hour, and yet he will only make around ~80,000 a year. It will be years before he will be able to climb their hierarchy and make the big bucks.

So quit your bitching and either invest in yourself so that you have skills that are in high demand and low supply, or start a company so that you can earn profits which technically have no limits.

> Is it not insulting when they suggest that, alone among all the peoples of the world, only the Scottish are incapable of democratically determining what is best for them and acting in their own best interests?

Surely as an Irishman you are familiar with the Wales, and Northern Ireland?

I agree that the chip on the shoulder attitude does exist in Scotland, but I don't think that independence is the magical solution you propose.

I am also Irish, and there is a very similar sentiment towards the English in people here, yet we have had our independence for generations now.

I think that the solution to that kind of sentiment is to work more towards inclusiveness. Again I think we have a perfect example of this on our doorstep - we have only started to make progress with the troubles in Northern Ireland when politicians sat down and started working together.

I don't know what side of the debate I side with, but it sounds to me like you have bought all the emotional rhetoric that the yes campaign have been selling.

I fail to see result of the vote having any great consequence for Scotland, they will still be EU members after all.
This isn't how the legal system works. You can't proceed with a lawsuit without some kind of defined damages. Unless you can point to something bad that has happened to you, how can Home Depot argue in their defense? How can a jury judge their defense? How can a fair penalty be agreed upon?

Possibly having your data leaked isn't enough of a harm for the courts to hear the lawsuit. If you can force a company to respond to a lawsuit based on the potential that they lost your data, what stops larger companies from suing smaller competitors constantly forcing them to prove they haven't leaked any data? They always could have leaked data.
Scam or Norm?
I met a person who is an early stage investor, said he had a fund but has now changed the process to where he and his 'partner' consult startup companies and coach them to get in front of investors. They setup meetings with investors and be your 'backup' during the meeting. There is one other company that they recently 'consulted' through the process. After pushing them on what they expect, he said 2% equity for him and 2% for his partner as fees for their consulting. Felt like it's just being taken advantage of but, wanted to ask others. Thoughts?
I was a bit disappointed that a library was used to solve the system of equations instead of going one step further using Cramer's Rule.

Yup you are correct. The chip acts as a proof of presence and a second factor of authentication. It is technically possible to export the cert off of the chip but it would cost several hundred thousand dollars and a lab with a Focused Ion Beam :)

Ask HN: Advice for a 2014 engineer grad to land a startup job?
Hi HN, I just graduated from a non Stanford/MIT/CMU, top 20 university with a CS minor. I started programming in high school, and I always wanted to be in the Bay Area's tech scene. I was heavily invested with a startup in college, and I thought dropping my CS major to a minor would be fine as long as I got the experience and the code to show for it.

But now, I haven't gotten much luck with the job hunt in the Bay Area, especially with smaller companies. Bigger companies would sometimes bite, but I know I want to be working with the founders, side by side. Any advice for a college grad looking to break into the startup world?
It's quite suprising that, after all these years:

Not only did the Edinburgh Agreement indicate that the UK would honor the results, but the UK government also explicitly granted the Scottish government the right to hold the referendum (constitutional issues would normally be a power reserved by the UK parliament).
Except that information can be used online...
Most merchant agreements forbid this, IIRC. Credit card companies have a vested interest in the goods being the same price whether cash or credit.
Looks amazing! My IRC server uses a password however, and I can't see anyway if inputting that. I tried using a straight /connect command, but that doesn't appear to work either. Might have a go at a pull-request!

Basically every government in history used commodity money for millenia. (Perhaps I should have said "using commodity money" instead of "on the gold standard". That was inexact and inaccurate.) And yes, it turns out there are problems with such systems, like recessions. Fortunately fiat money administered by a wise and knowing bureaucracy, like in the United States, renders your economy totally recession-proof!!! cough cough and if there IS a recession you can just bail out all the banks and everything will be magically better!!! cough hack gaaaaag

Anyway, the problem with commodity money (or the gold standard) is price instability when the real price of gold rises or falls because of wild swings in the supply or in national economic output. If you're Scotland and your number one trading partner is the rest of the UK and they do a half-decent job at price stability and your government holds lots of GBP, borrows in GBP, and issues bonds in GBP... well, you don't really end up having that class of problem.

I understand the concept of the app and can definitely see its value. However, I'm not a big of a fan of the way it is described in this blog post.

From my personal experience using mint, I usually find that the big spends are the ones that really cause a dent on my monthly budgets and honestly, from a personal finance point of view, don't see much value in tracking only the small day-to-day savings. It is necessary to have a look at the big picture to contextualize the spending.

I do feel like keep is probably a good tool for staying motivated while budgeting and getting an instant reward for something that usually doesn't give an instant reward, but even so the effort necessary to manually input every single dollar I save into the app just seems like such a commitment. To me, keep would be really helpful as a complement to the services that do connect to my bank account (in my case mint), to help me decide wether I can have the coffee I like such much or if I should stick to the free coffee available in my office.

The landing page will load fine on mobile, but resumes will not and I wanted to make it clear from the landing page that rendering requires enough screen space.

Creddle relies heavily on the browser for positioning sections and calculating font sizes. The work required to get rendering working on mobile isn't trivial and it's not a priority since most people would prefer to type up a resume on a computer.

That being said, there's nothing to say that responsive resumes can't be done. In fact, Creddle resumes are built in Bootstrap with this in mind. Resumes would still be designed on desktop, but exported to be viewed on mobile. I've just found while 80% of resumes might look okay condensed to a single column view on a phone, the last 20% would need some extra formatting decisions specific to mobile to be made by the user, which means designing and building a UI for that as well, so I scrapped it for the time being.

But mobile resumes have been requested by people before and I think it can be done, it's just not a priority compared to other requests.
The behavior of the p2pfoundation "resurfacing" of Satoshi is different than the sourceforge one, possibly indicating 2 people with some of Satoshi's credentials, so in my mind that lends some credibility to the explanation on the p2pfoundation post (Satoshi's info being sold to various buyers) as being more likely.
I am British and have a British passport. If there is a Yes votes I will have to change to a Scottish passport, which I believe will have less value, or an English passport, which is not my identity. Neither of those is a good choice.

Ex-pat Scots, whose nationality will be affected by the result, were specifically denied the vote, while English people and other nationalities, including Germans and other Europeans living in Scotland, have been allowed to vote. Complete insanity.
