Welcome to Hacker News, adiroth!

As HN is not Twitter, you may want to read the site rules:
https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html

In particular, hashtags don't work here, and mechanically ctrl-c + ctrl-v'ing the party line into a brand new account as you might on twitter doesn't work very well here.

We tend to encourage a deeper form of discourse where people have civil, rational discussions about difficult topics and inform each other about complicated issues.

Enjoy your stay!

Oh wow, that's an amazing idea and great execution as well.

The surface completly misses the point of a tablet. It's a laptop with an odd form factor. But an ideal tablet is under 2/3 pound and all other features are optional.
> But if you say your system uses "Markdown" then that's zero help for someone who wants to submit to you a complicated Markdown document for processing.

This "Standard" makes things even worse. There are plenty of sites already on the internet that say they accept "Markdown", and that meant something: that it implements Gruber's formatting, and perhaps some extensions (and sites with extensions are normally clear about the fact that they're extensions, e.g. "Github-flavoured Markdown"). Now people will see a site that accepts "Markdown", expect it to support a feature from "Standard Markdown", and get angry when it doesn't.
Sorry if it seemed that way; it's not an attempt to make money, but be something useful. Products are listed regardless of whether they're listed on Amazon and I'm working on a tweak to show links to Google Play etc where available (I already had the Amazon code, as this page started off from something else).

I'll make it more obvious there are Amazon links shortly; if I can make some towards the costs/time, great; but that's not the motivation, I started off compiling the table for my own use (I'm trying to decide on a CB) and thought it'd be useful to others.
It's reaching Poe's Law conspiracy-theory levels now, where I can't tell which are parodies and which are real. One of the "exposé" images floating around proves that DiGRA (an academic game-studies conference) is an agent of the U.S. government, because someone who spoke there once was also in a CS research lab that got DARPA funding (which is most American CS research labs, incidentally). And the conference also publishes a bunch of papers on gender-and-gaming, proving they're out to ruin games.

The virulent misogyny is the worst, though, and extremely obvious. It's telling that with all the actual money questionably floating around in the industry that gamers are happy to ignore, people suddenly get worked up about the sex life of some obscure bloggers and indie devs earning $10/mo on Patreon. The real money is being thrown at trade mags by companies like EA and Ubisoft, and some of the more questionable practices involve unofficially hinging early demo access on favorable reviews. But that's apparently not interesting to dig into for "gamers".
Its not a blase attitude. Its a chicken and egg situation. The credit card companies want to implement it but they need the stores to upgrade their point of sale hardware to accept the new cards. Stores say they won't upgrade their hardware til card companies release the cards
Please see my comment above...
As far as I know banks tend to prefer dedicated lines rather than relying on the internet, but I guess that isn't always available.
You can make it clear that your implementation isn't the "official" one without denying credit. See e.g. Iceweasel; it's very clear that a) it isn't Firefox b) it owes a lot to Firefox.
There are already a few projects working on both.

Phillip Rosedale, the guy behind Second Life, is working on a next-gen equivalent. Janus VR, meanwhile, is busy working at turning the Web into a metaverse, and getting some rave reviews.

As for porn, http://www.reddit.com/r/oculusnsfw/ is your source there... "Really good" porn is, of course, highly taste-dependent.
Whenever people complain about society lacking scientists or scientific progress, I think, "Have you tried paying us money and giving us job security?"
rst is harder to write; it's as simple as that.
That's not close to being a chicken and egg. The card companies just have to release the cards, then up the fees for using it without chip & pin.

What's the point of buying the POS systems when no-one can use it and there's no guarantee the cards will be rolled out?

It happened very rapidly here in Britain once the cards were out.
There are a few equivalents, but Roll20 appears to be the one that has the most traction. It's on my "to-try" list.
But isn't price one of the main things people choose these on? If I'm looking for a cheap chromebook (as one of the main points of the chromebook seems price), I don't want to see the $1400 Chromebook pixel, or at least (mentally) filter it out.

How is that? I have a Chip+PIN enabled credit card and if the shop doesn't support that I can still swipe the magnetic stripe.

I don't see why they don't just provide credit cards with both options for a while until enough of the PoS hardware has been upgraded that they can get rid of the magnetic stripe. I guess cost plays a role, but I would assume that the decrease in fraud might offset that somewhat.

Indeed, but the point is that we're about to see a systemic change.
I'm curious, what view does BBC generally express on the matter?
With banks considering the switch to the Cloud, how would this specification address the issue of key management on the Cloud? That's the "key" to Cloud security. Currently, there are solutions available which are obnoxious for those who <i>really</i> want security of their data and not just a <i>tick mark</i> on some data security checklist because key managers CANNOT be hosted on the Cloud. The dominant approach (CipherCloud for example) is to have an encryption gateway in-house which encrypts/decrypts/tokenizes on-the-fly before data leaves for the Cloud. Their approach is to enable support for popular SaaS apps like SalesForce and archive storage like S3 etc which makes sense BUT then again, it's dependent on whether the vendor would add support for more apps or open the API for 3rd party devs to plug in support for other Cloud apps.

Indeed. When the sockpuppets stroll over to my neck of the twitter woods (not often, since my userpic isn't a photo), it makes me a bit sad. Sometimes they seem like they have actual grievances about perceived defects in the game industry - and I feel for them! There's a lot wrong with this industry, and it's especially evident to me after over a decade in it.

The problem is that the vast majority of the noise in this stupid manufactured scandal is pure harassment. It's not targeting any of the actual roots of supposed corruption, it's not putting forward verifiable/falsifiable claims, it's not putting forward simple, rigorous arguments, and it's not examining behaviors.

Instead the movement targets random people for harassment, then expands the targeting to people who defend those targets. They iteratively move through the network trying to harass people until they give up, as if this somehow results in 'winning an argument'. Even if these targets were somehow the roots of corruption in the industry (sadly they aren't), booting a few people out doesn't fix anything - the corruption is inherent in how this industry is run, not the people in it.

For this stuff to extend so far, and result in doxxing and death threats to extended family and all sorts of other vile things - it's just gross. It doesn't even matter what the targets did, it's hard to justify this kind of behavior in any circumstances. The fact that it's all levelled against low-wage minority journalists & developers instead of wealthy evildoers is just bewildering.

> but I enjoyed the (by now fairly common, I suppose) design

The opposite for me, I had to use Clearly (restyling extension for easier reading) to remove all their distracting and annoying, erratically moving backgrounds (especially together with the semi transparent text background, if it was opaque at least).

The article itself was a great read though.
Right, where can I invest?
They used to. Now Cisco is also building their "enterprise" Cloud to target their financial sector clients (banks et al) because they're seeing business going to Amazon and decline of dedicated data centers to do something which can be done more efficiently by Amazon et al. Security is just going to become even more important and significant
Since when competition has become disrespectful? This is simply a degree of fault tolerance, ensuring that at least one of the two working groups would succeed.
BBC cannot express any view on that matter. It's bipartisan and will only report facts.
Right now you can only get .py domains as subdomains of
these second-level domains:

- com.py
- coop.py
- edu.py
- mil.py
- gov.py
- org.py
- net.py
- una.py

And there are some domains used like nic.py.
Possibly Chrome could fall back to search if its not one of the subdomains.

But this is clearly a case where the idea of search box and url bar in one field does not work. This will happen more often as we get more of those random TLDs.
Be today's top story sort of
The BBC's charter states that it is not allowed to express a view on the matter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_News#Political_and_commerc.... Of course, an organisation is made of people and so individuals will occasionally stray from that line (and get called out for it). But they do strive to be balanced on the matter. Here's a link to their "Scotland Decides" pages to give you an idea of how they're trying to balance it out: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/events/scotland-decides
Advertizing and HFT are only zero sum for competing products in an established market. For new products it can be a net benifit ex: "talk to your doctor about ED."

The designed seemed so bad to me that I skipped reading it. I don't appreciate having to scroll down pages just to see the beginning of the body text. I don't understand the reason for the giant font either, which means that I have to scroll far too much.
I don't think there's enough variance in price (Except for the Pixel) that it's a huge factor. My goal was to help people in my shoes, that have some requirements (1080p, 4GB, decent processor) to filter down the available list.

I really don't want to get into being a price comparison site. If I add prices, people will constantly be telling me they're wrong. I want to focus on specs/facts that don't change as much as possible.
That may be your belief but there are plenty of people who think otherwise. http://biasedbbc.org/
For me it's very ambiguous and I would really check it before leaving my job if I was planning to use unemployment benefit to finance a startup. What are your sources?

On first glance, those look almost like an Arabic letter. I suppose that for more abstract topics like programming, an abstract-looking cover is pretty common.

DLNA is everywhere but seems never to have taken off. Anyone want to elaborate on how or why it's so terrible? Has it been tripped up by DRM or is it just bad UI?
Don't be mad that some other people's brains are bent on stuff of no particular benefit to you. Their brains, their choice.

Just be glad that some people's brains are bent on stuff of benefit to you, and concentrate, if you like, on what of general benefit you can do with your own brain.
Actually it is not bipartisan; it is required to be neutral, regardless how how many political parties (or political / economic ideologies) there are.

Alright, that's what I actually meant when I said bipartisan - that it does not support any parties by definition. I know, wrong word.
While I tend not to be too impressed by UK politicians I'm quite proud that the government is able to say to Scotland, OK have a vote and go independent or not. So many of the world problems seem to have been caused by governments taking the opposite view and saying it's mine all mine. See Ukraine and about 1000+ other examples.

Ask HN: Bachelor Thesis Topics
Hey HN.
I'm looking for Bachelor Thesis Topics because i have to submit my Topic in the next Months and i want to be prepared.

I'm a 24ish media technology student (audio, video, communication technology) located in Hamburg, Germany BUT i got into web development a few years ago and i stuck with it. For University i programmed a audio-streaming over websockets Prototype for a Project and a lot more on Web Technology topics including teaching students basic html, css and js.
For my practical semester i joined a local incubator to develop an RESTful Node.JS Backend for a Web- and iOS Application.
And in my spare-time i write and read alot of library code.

What would you recommend me as a potential Bachelor's Thesis topic?

I Thought about:
- develop and distribute an open source library Project
- develop an Application (Web/Phonegap etc.)
- Something Language specific like a Design Pattern Collection like Addy Osmani did (http://addyosmani.com/resources/essentialjsdesignpatterns/book/)

What do you think?
What do you mean with 'tokenized'?
It's worth pointing out that the only variance it can make under the existing powers is to _raise_ income taxes - this is why it's never been used. Doing so would be political suicide and see a population drain as those able to would quickly move "next door" to an England with lower taxes.

The Barnett formula determines the size of the block grant, not the spending of it. The Scottish Government spends the grant according to its priorities. At the moment these include: free healthcare (including prescriptions), free higher education, and free care for the elderly.
The art of spam
I'm trying to popularise the term "value-subtracted software" for this kind of bloatware. The dead giveaway is that it can't be removed; that means a third party paid the manufacturer to put it there, and it reduces the value of your television. In your case to the point of near uselessness.
I'm hoping it'll be easier to add more countries now it's all in a Google Doc (previously it was a pain); but it somewhat relies on being able to easily find the data :(
More and more traffic to and from banks goes over the public internet, it is a matter of time before 'dedicated lines' will be limited to the military and that's pretty much where the internet originated so at a guess even they are using the internet except for when it is extremely critical to get traffic from 'a' to 'b' with minimum latency.

The BBC is supposed to be neutral but, personally, I believe there is resonable evidence to suggest the majority of the UK media is bias towards the status quo.

That said, since accusations of bias have arisen there has seen some fairly cutting questions pointed at the UK Govs lies on the matter from the BBC and others, and we've started to see a much more interesting and closer debate.

I don't live in Scotland anymore though, so I can't say I know what things look like from within the country at the moment.
Yes, I hope that the creator of Shariki gets around to suing both pop-cap and King.

(Sarcasm filter off - pop-cap copied an earlier game almost exactly)
You can look at the tags to see the bias of biasedbbc. I'm sure there are plenty of people that would argue that if not pro-conservative, the BBC neglects many of the issues that would be detrimental to current government - the BBC completely ignored phone hacking, the privatisation of the NHS, among others. It's still probably significantly more neutral than almost any corporate controlled broadcaster though.
Neat. I wonder how it will compare to the Roomba. I own a Roomba 770 and am pretty happy with it so far. I am assuming the filter is probably going to be better on the Dyson.

The 360 is supposed to come out in 2015 and only in Japan at first so no regrets about purchasing the Roomba :)
That's pretty crazy when you consider how hot they were on protecting their "intellectual property".

It's sad to see that the law is being used not for ethical reasons, but as just another way of doing business against your rivals. You can out-compete them on quality or prize, or use laws to shut them out of the market.
Samsung engineer here. This sounds awfully familiar.

As mentioned by mirkules, the waterfall model coming from our hardware divisions is transposed to pretty much everything. And if it were like the old-school 3 year development cycle waterfall model, it could be fine, but it's obviously not. Software and services are just seen as value add to our product line, that is renewed every year (or even every six months).

This why a project like Tizen has been such a disaster so far. You can acquire and hire all the talent you want, in the end decisions are made by VPs who only care about not being fired next year. Building a platform is impossible in such conditions. Add some conflict of interest into the mix and you have a Tizen phone being constantly delayed for no technical reason.
Looks like the read me mentions this for strings.
Still, I'm happy that the days of "ENDIF" are mostly behind us

For people not in the UK: people in England pay for each item on a prescription. The charge is currently £8.05 per item. You can get discounts if you need multiple items. There are a bunch of exemptions - people with a thyroid problem for example - which mean that about 90% of items are free.
