But if you do, it stinks. Gnome isn't my favorite DE, but it's probably a safer default for a very general-purpose distro. You can always switch to XFCE if you care.

True, except it's not only that people don't bother to report holiday cash transactions - there are formal exemptions from capital gains tax in the UK for (i) cash which is for personal use while travelling outside the UK and (ii) (since 2012) for all foreign currency bank accounts. In terms of what most people do, it's only if you hold or use the currency for investment purposes that you need to worry.

HMRC initially tried to treat Bitcoin in the same way as gift vouchers, not currencies, which meant that different rules applied (particularly in relation to VAT). However they now apparently treat is as a currency which in theory means the above exemptions are open to people to claim.

There are issues with this though. Firstly, in the legislation "bank account" is not explicitly defined so it's unclear exactly which forms of wallet might qualify for that exemption, if any. Secondly, the exemption for physical currency doesn't include personal use of a foreign currency within the UK.

So it's still pretty unclear whether you'll be subject to CGT or not.
+this. You can buy them in qty ~50 or so on Amazon fairly cheaply. There are probably a billion, but we have a big stack of these we use for everything from prep to freezing leftovers/taking to work: http://goo.gl/viX1Nh (they come in 8oz versions too, which I also have a stack of). They crack after about 10 cycles through the freezer and in backpacks/lunches, which comes out to about 5c per use. Very reasonable.
There is saying in the military that is pretty good rule of thumb for these kinds of things:

Your fill rate cannot be worse. The mechanics:

1) Place a trade.
2) Trade goes to internal dark pool. Maybe someone who paid for order flow fills it, maybe not.
3) In the absence of a fill on the internal dark pool, the trade is routed to the markets at large.

The only difference is who your anonymized counterparty is.

1. Recreation & health. My cooking tends to be more expensive than a simple (unhealthy) takeaway meal.

2. No. I always decide on the day itself.

3. I seriously enjoy Jamie Oliver recipes (they tend to be simple, as in: throw all kinds of nice spices together) and Indian food.

4. Paleo-ish. No sugar, limited amount of carbs.

5. Watch Jamie Olivers cooking show. Plan ahead in order to save money and make your life easier.

Cooking is a wonderful skill that you develop throughout your life. I started at age 18 and am now known for my delicious cooking by my friends and family while I am only aged 24.

What have been people's experiences with Qtile? I've used ion, Xmonad, and more recently i3wm and would love to hear what's good and not so good about Qtile.
Yeah, it was horrible to read. It is a rare mix when someone is -- self-important, offensive, long-winded, ill-informed, and manages to invoke Godwin's Law.

The lack of quality manuals and documentation for developer tools
No, not to mention they're all hackable. This is just a shit-post about half-a-decade-old software.
And here we are on Hacker News, the site run by Y-Combinator, not having a clue how to solve the problem of "not enough manual labour to maintain civilisation's infrastructure".

It's like nobody ever watched Wall-E.
I fail to see where I made the assumption that you were a white man. I merely assumed that you share the privilege of having time to devote to Open Source projects, based on the words that you used, and your casual dismissal of the idea that everyone might not share that privilege.

But congrats on your win, all the same. The judges were really impressed. Welcome to HN.
> Imagine something you're deeply ashamed of, it's quite irrelevant whether that shame is justified or not -- we're discussing psychosis here.

And we are discussing MDMA here so that very feeling is numbed, it can't hurt you in that very moment, you feel save by any means. (Provided you generally feel comfortable among the people you are with).

Now for the sake of the argument let's assume the person here does have real friends, friends they do care for them and aren't just random acquaintances. Let's also not discuss some extreme cases where this might not be enough. But that rape case you've mentioned might still work.

I find it kind of sad that you disregard the possibility that talking with friends and getting their support, helping you to continue your life, something humanity has done for millennia. Instead you say only a professional can magically 'fix' it.
I think you are making it a bit too easy here to disregard all personal responsibility for your peers, saying that only an expert can provide help.

> Even if you were, would you really want people you're presumably planning to know for the rest of your life to have that as your reference point?

I think that if you know them well enough and share more experiences with them then just that, it will not be their 'reference point' but instead an important fact to know you better and support you when necessary.

Of course there are situations where this is not applicable, but that goes for everything. There are no magic bullets.
This isn't a good comparison. Casinos are incentivized to have you fail/lose (but enjoy the process).

Pay-per-trade brokers are incentivized to have you trade frequently and/or buy certain securities. RobinHood doesn't actually profit from each trade, so it could be argued that they have are likelier to care about the retail investor's long-term success (providing automated tools for monthly investments in low-fee funds, etc).

Regardless, let's give some love to the fact that people are accountable for their actions and the vast amount non-bad information on the internet. A beginning retail investor is one search away from a strategy that is a metric ton better than not investing at all (which is what most of them do): https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C5...

If RobinHood causes some people to piss away their savings on crazy-risky investments, it's not because those people didn't have access to decent investment advice.
I've looked at using Qtile before, but opted to go for I3 as it seemed to be a bit more mature. Would love to hear experiences/thoughts of anyone using this, I would love to switch to it and be able to leverage my existing python knowledge for customizing.
I doubt a union would get much traction as long as the software industry is in as much flux as it is in, and boundaries between engineers, entrepreneurs, and financiers are as porous as they are. It's not uncommon for someone to be an engineer for a few years, a technical cofounder for a few more years, and then a venture capitalist later on. Many, many people in tech (Andreesen, PG, John Doerr, Eugene Kleiner, Bill Joy) have sat in all 3 seats.
Show HN: Brand-colors – A collection for the effective web developer
Agreed. I just mentioned it as it's similar, but I won't recommended either. I don't recall leaving an unlocked terminal in the past 10+ years. It's habit that's very easy to develop and follow strictly (I do this at home even when I'm alone). At one point, I was even tracing the keyboard cable when coming back to unlock to make sure there isn't something in-between although it's not hard to hack your keyboard internally as well. Laptops robbed me of this habit, unfortunately.
What does systemd have to do with wms? (desktop managers, yes, but wms, no) There will be more issues with the move towards wayland. Just yesterday I read openbox development had stalled, so it is doubtful it will survive unless someone takes over. OTOH, there are not many tiling window managers with wayland support yet.
I'm merely responding to your argument that people will be unwilling to carry the equivalent of their checking account balance (~$1000?) with them because they'll fear for their physical safety. People carry laptops and credit cards despite the fact it's not any harder to point a gun at me and take me to an ATM in a shady part of town or steal my laptop.
The broker is benefiting - in the case of Robinhood he is sharing that benefit with the customer.

The customer will get the exact same price as if his order went to the public exchanges. The only difference is that instead of selling to anonymous person on BATS, he'll sell to anonymous HFT on the broker's internal dark pool.
Maybe there simply weren't enough inter-ethnic families, or not enough of the population were exposed to other cultures?

(Author here) I explored an API like that, the problem I ran into was that often you don't want to refine all the way to a primitive; e.g. What is the value of the whole record so I can validate it? Sometimes you want the record, sometimes you want the cursor.
One of the things about i3 that is really compelling is the multi-monitor support.
Another - Reward hard work and delivery with another project quickly and as scattered. When one delivers a touch project in an impossible timeline, rather than changing anything management side, deem them the "saver" and give them bad project after bad project with shorter and shorter timelines.

This could be reposted as Business/Management 101 in the office for most managers, or apparently the guide many have been using.

I have experienced almost all of them and could feel the pain in each line item that would come from developers that care or product developers that know what it takes to ship a successful product, well written and thorough.
Utilizing Haskell at Fynder
My main occupation is a medical student, but I consider myself a "hobbyist hacker".

1. I am on a low carb diet, which rules out the bulk of prepared food options. Also, I discovered a passion for cooking when I was around 14 and actually wanted to be a chef for awhile, so it's something I enjoy. Keto is actually quite expense for me, mainly because there's less "filler" in my meals.

2. No. When I go grocery shopping, I will have a handful of things I want to make in the next couple weeks in mind and get the ingredients for them. Often times I will make several servings at one time and eat them over the next day or two.

3. A lot of breakfast foods, stir fry, "pasta" dishes, and simple meat+vegetable dishes.

4. I am on a keto diet but it's not per anyone else's guidelines. I basically try to limit carbs to <30g/day (and avoid fructose entirely), protein to >40 <60g/day, and fat to >100 <120g/day.

5. It comes down to your rhythm and how well you can multi-task. If you do everything linearly, it will take you a long time to get anything done. Learn how long individual passive steps take and determine what you can actively get done in the down time- especially true when making multiple dishes at once. Also, limit the complexity of your sides. It's much faster/easier to steam some broccoli and carrots while cooking a steak than it is to pair the steak with loaded mashed potatoes and caesar salad. But on that note, prepare whatever you can in advance and in bulk quantities (e.g. mashed potatoes are perfectly fine reheated and will keep for a good while).

Your Top Questions Answered about Selenium with JMeter's WebDriver Sampler
Heh, I was toying with "...not implemented in most..".
I just want to point out that spacemonkey (spacemonkey.com) handles this very elegantly.

spacemonkey was designed from the beginning to handle storing much more data than you'd ever be able to store on your laptop hard drive. The way it does this is it actually mounts itself as a FUSE filesystem and keeps it's own LRU cache of your spacemonkey data on the drive. If you access a recently created or accessed file it will just load from the disk cache. If it detects that you are running out of hard drive space it will automatically prune the stuff that hasn't been accessed in a while (so spacemonkey never causes you to have an "Out of disk space" error). you still see it though, it tells you its size, metadata etc. and if you try to open one of those files it will grab it from the network transparently behind the scene for you it just might add a little bit of latency (as if you were accessing something on a network share).

In 2014 you should not have to be thinking about what to "selectively sync" the service you use should just figure it out for you (and let you customize it if you need to)

disclamer: I used to work for spacemonkey but do not any more, although I think they make a great product and are a super smart team.
1. Recreation. Cooking is the most fun one can have with their pants on.

2. When I can plan, I try to plan 2-3 days ahead. Back in Finland I would drop by the butchershop and request the cuts a few days in advance if I was making something special.

3. Slow food. Cheap meats where the chewy bits get liquefied after 4-6 hours of slow heat. Use herbs as condiments where possible.

4. I try to go for reduced carbs, but it's not a hard goal.

5. Mise én place. Use steel cookware and bowls for everything you can. Avoid plastic like the plague: oils of all kinds have nasty tendency to bind to plastic surfaces. Makes them nearly impossible to clean properly.

There are two items you can't live without: chef's knife and an immersion blender.

How the year standings have anything to do with the news at hand is beyond me.
Brutally honest answer? More money in Web dev. Also, i'm better at web dev. If you're going to become a chef prepare for a massive pay cut and the pay doesnt go up as high with seniority as web dev does. I can earn about £100k a year as a web dev (if i chose to work a full year, i don't) and a executive head chef in London would make around £40k a year and work AT LEAST 60 hours a week, you'd also need 8 - 10 years experience. A mid level chef with 3-4 years experience would make around £20k a year.

Does anyone know how it handles multiple monitors? I recently switched from xmonad to awesome and while I'm happy with it, having a separate set of screens for each monitor is pretty annoying.

It's been said before but everyone writing a tiling window manager should make it work just like xmonad does for multiple screens, they really got it perfect.

"Then he swapped out the famous John Williams score for moody Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross music from The Social Network and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." (taken from the Grantland article I linked elsewhere)
I think we disagree because you haven't lost money due to no fault of your own, thanks to Bitcoin. I have, and it sucks.

Most consumers will take risks like these seriously. If Bitcoin is going to go mainstream, it needs to address these concerns.

No one is going to strap a bomb onto you and then force you to wire them money. Remember, if someone were to do that, they would be caught immediately, because it's very easy to trace money transfers from banks. But Bitcoin makes tracing money impossible, thanks to mixers. That's why banks are safer than Bitcoin: A robber can't extract money from a bank without getting caught, but a robber can empty your brainwallet in a way that hides where the money has gone.

As for holding a loved one hostage, kidnapping for money hasn't worked for a long time. The failure rate for kidnappers demanding money is around 100% in the US. But kidnapping will become much more lucrative if Bitcoin catches on in the way you're imagining. It needs consumer protections.

Once bitcoin has consumer protections, it will be very valuable. That's why I'm advocating the protections. It's a necessary step in Bitcoin's development.

EDIT: To put it another way, instances of kidnapping and theft are rare because the current system defends against them, not because they're inherently rare. If bitcoin catches on without protections afforded by banks, then kidnapping and theft will likely become more common, because those tactics will be lucrative again.

Frequent low dollar trades != risky day trading of penny stocks. It very well could mean an automated $50/week in low-fee mutual funds. Or talking half of your lawn mowing money and putting it into a college account and investing intelligently with it.

I never bought a pro account because, like the OP says, I consider Dropbox for smaller things. 100 GB was too much then, and now 1TB is ridiculous. I would have liked a smaller tier (20-25 GB at the most), but I guess they can't really make money if people actually use up their space. oh well..
Hah, I get those "tax documents" every year from the broker. They are frankly rather useless. I have to go back to the trade confirms to get the correct info.

(For example, Etrade "forgets" what I paid for stocks and when I bought them after a few years, even if I bought them through Etrade.)
Bitcasa Is Hiring Big Data Engineer
Yes, it is a common excuse in e.g. non-democracies to call democracy activists for terrorists (often combined with claims that all the democratic countries are in a conspiracy against them, because we hate Russia/Pakistan/Iran/etc.)

And no, if there is a terrorism problem scaring voters the politicians are empirically motivated to fix it -- see my examples of throwing out the law book -- or it isn't a democracy. [Edit: To be clear, I think the Drug War etc are different; propaganda -- not really about scared voters.]

You make it sound like Israel is just a victim here, getting terrorized, when in fact they have the Palestinians sequestered into ghettos and denied basic human rights like food, water, medicine. The violence is a symptom on inhumane treatment, not simply the cause of "evil doers".

Can't disagree with GDrive being awesome. However, I was responding to the parent's suggestion that the parent's parent's quote was negated by e.g. GDrive.

With less double negatives: File syncing has actually turned out to be a pretty big thing, it just took (and this might be a bad list, but off the top of my head) 1. mobile adoption, 2. higher avg bandwidth and 3. someone getting it right. GDrive/Evernote/… does not negate that there is a demand for Dropbox.
Top South Africa News
Yours seems constructive to me and I don't read it as unprofessional in any way.

After reflecting on the responses here and amazingly balanced upvotes and downvotes I've received (it's hovering between 2-4, but changing frequently), I think actually what's going on is that I'm just annoyed by the OA's particular strain of satire. I guess when I read this heavy handed yes-is-no satire it just makes me angry that the author isn't just giving it to me straight. Whereas great satire has a unique thought-invoking quality, this type just feels like an overdone trope.
I don't understand the point of the article that 1 terabyte of storage is not worthwhile if your laptop has a small disk drive.

I use a MacBook Air with only 128GB of storage. I use "selective syncing" to not keep most of my Dropbox files on my laptop.

If I need anything not synced to my laptop, then I choose it to be synced, wait a short while, and then it is available locally.

At least until the myriad of iPhone data extraction tools being sold to the police finds a way to extract that, too. This one is apparently already compatible with iOS8:

And from what I've noticed Apple is pretty quite about fixing vulnerabilities that these kind of tools used (i.e. the kind of vulnerabilities that need your phone to work - which is exactly the kind of power say someone like the police has).

Israel do have everything on a different scale; multiples of times more terror against its civilians than what the rest of the western world have -- combined.

Afaik, despite this the courts in Israel seems to better keep up rule of law than the US ones, re terrorism... Which is sad.

But I think that without terror problems, the situation would be very different in Israel. And you probably agree.

Edit: I think you missed my point a little. I didn't discuss if it is right to throw out freedoms or not, I noted that empirically democracies seems to be very likely to do that in a certain situation.
