I'm very excited to this happen. I've never understand why the health industry has been able to get with not telling customers what they charge.

It will be interesting to see the applications that come of out this.
I also want to add on that I do not view this as a security issue. There are a myriad of things that should be done:

1) Your company should not be using SaaS services for sensitive projects w/o codenames. (Codename FishSauce = Viber M&A) -- obviously just obscurity, but still solid opsec.

2) I'd love to see your write-up on HipChat uploading all files directly to an S3 bucket accessible to the world.

3) Every user w/ that companies domain sees this each time they sign-in.

4)I just think it's overhyped and not a big deal.

5) It only impacts companies who have multiple slack TEAMS (not the same thing as channels, no channel names are disclosed)

Also, this is a decision Slack admins make: http://imgur.com/FCUE1mY
My intuition is that if you really universalized this, everything is discarded and the idea of ownership would have to change.

How would pragmatically work, I don't know (probably terribly), but a maxim in which everyone suddenly stopped owning things beyond personal possessions at the same time took up an overriding ethical system which privileged ecology at least initially seems to be univeralizible.

At least, it seems to "scale" better than "I will declare this land as mine to own and control even when I don't actively use it", which is one of our current maxims.
No security measure can completely prevent anything.
The latest America's Cup catamarans sailed faster than the wind both upwind and downwind and that's even more counter intuitive. You probably saw them in the news. Explanation at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailing_faster_than_the_wind
tl,dr: it's not the real wind that matters but the apparent wind (the self made one you feel when riding a bike) so if build up enough speed you'll always be sailing upwind and build up even more power.

This is an even faster boat, build for speed records http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnjyusAgk8I

Talk about reinventing the wheel.
I through that Al Capone really engaged in tax evasion. Even as he did much worst things, if he was really guilty of tax evasion, then it is perfectly ok to put him in prison for tax evasion. Putting people to jail for things they are not guilty of just because they did something else bad is injustice.

Putting people to jail for things they ARE guilty of is fine even if that is not the worst thing they did.

Storage is very tough to work out. You pay for all this capacity, but you only get to make money a couple of times a day.

Dam a river and you can generate power 24 hours a day. Build a pumped-storage facility, and you'll be lucky to get a half-hour out of it. You really need a wide spread between baseload and peak prices to make it work out.

Ironically, renewables are destroying the economics of pumped storage in Germany. On sunny days, solar panels displace much of the peak load from pumped storage. On rainy days, the pumped storage suddenly becomes crucial to the grid. Except that pumped storage cannot make money by operating only on rainy days.
I have to say, the intro video for this was pretty good. Well done.
I like how quick it feels and that it looks very clean. I'm curious to see how well it will work with much more data.

Right now, the region filter doesn't seem to work. For example, if I click on iOS and San Francisco, I still see Kickstarter, Venmo, and Birchbox which show they are based in New York.

Also, I'm surprised that What Tech wasn't listed on its own site. :)
They implemented ideas from a VectorWise paper. It's very good for an intern, but it's not original work.
As far as I know, the teams the user has already joined will also show in that listing, not just the ones they are authorized to join. Even with the auto-auth setting turned off, then, anyone can get a listing of the teams to which a known email address already belongs.
Huge feeling of déjà vu after having just watched the marketing video[1] for Slack yesterday.

That's an interesting take on the matter.

An internet where all online identities are decoupled from offline identities seems possible, at least in theory. The idea that using your real name online makes you act more responsibly doesn't seem to work anyway.

But wait. That would only solve part of the problem - trolls targeting women, minorities etc. Even if you have a fictional online identity, once you have visibility and say something a troll doesn't agree with, they'll still come after you.
I believe I have almost 100EUR on my bank account. My monthly income is less than that.

I've slept outdoors before and I didn't die, although the mosquito noise and sucking came close to frustrating me to death... I've also lived in a monastery with basically zero budget.

So it's hard to say. But I'd survive for quite a while, no doubt.

It is binary thinking, though. A is not completely effective, so it’s completely worthless. That’s bullshit.

Obviously, for this there is no technical solution. But Twitter (and reddit) currently do a really, really shitty job and they have to do so, so much better. They make it worse.

The lasting solution is for everyone to shun harassers (if anyone you know does it, approach them, tell them to stop in no uncertain terms, always) and to shun enablers (those who downplay or minimise the effects). That’s really obvious, too, but obviously also a hard problem to solve.
Are complete morons and uninformed flunkies an influential part of the recruiting process? Yes.

First, congratulations on your sobriety, and on getting your mental illness under control. My stepfather battles both and it's not easy at all.

A lot of people dismiss it because of its religious overtones, but Dave Ramsey's financial advice is generally very good. He advocates an asset based, zero balance budget technique designed to get you weaned off of credit and within a few years, you'll have a stable nest egg and a good platform to build a retirement savings portfolio, not to mention a paid-for car and house in some situations (that's where we'll be in the next few years, the cars will be paid off this year and we just started the program a year ago). It's too much to go into in depth here, but I'd recommend getting his Financial Peace books as a start.

What is this post doing on HN? This is more appropriate on reddit.
Thanks, looking into this right now.
Well, dot net has a historical connotation to being used by companies that shared a name with a larger, more reputable company and dot org is for charities. Dot com is simply what people are most likely to remember. This doesn't matter so much if all you're doing is running a mobile app, but when you've got a site to worry about, the domain extension matters.
Yes.

Also, buried inside is the reference of the original work by VectorWise this work was based on. "Vectorization vs. Compilation in Query Execution". They don't even mention the name. Not nice IMHO.

Yeah, creating a safe environment for discourse is super-awesome. Those environments are the best thing ever, compared to the oppressive atmosphere of places like HN and reddit.

The thing is, arguments on HN about this topic are not intellectually honest. Far from it. They are awful, excruciating, painful, blood-pressure spiking. Filled with dishonesty, zero empathy and zero good faith. It’s an awful, awful place.

Thank you for illustrating my favorite fact about sailing: that the fastest speed at which a sailboat can sail is actually upwind.

I learned this from an awesome book, no doubt one that many on HN have heard of, Thinking Physics, by Lewis Carroll Epstein that is worth getting, especially if you have kids and they don't already know basic physics.
That's actually a pretty good price.
I don't claim expertise, but my understanding is that it is considered difficult to compute without states because the critical question is, "What is the next state?"

Continuations are a way of answering that question asynchronously in regard to the timing of the invocation of the transition function from the current state to the next state. The cost/benefit is the absence of shared global state. My continuation is different from your continuation.

The alternative is to determine the next state synchronously with the invocation of the transition function for the next state by reading a shared state. If I invoke the transition function at time t1 I will get the same result as you would get if you invoked the transition function at t1...assuming of course that we did not both invoke it at the same time [then it's just a matter of convention as to who gets what].
For Android I use something called "Twilight". It is a good stand in for F.lux, and even has a few extras. For time control, it has the standard sunrise/sunset coordinate system that F.lux uses, as well as Alarm control to set custom bedtime/wakeup.

Ask HN: Alternative for email verification?
Just few minutes before I came across this post[1] about how the webapp email verification takes so longer to complete, and it got me thinking the same issues I have been facing for recent time. Not just at the sending end, but at the receiving end..

Some webapps doesn't let you proceed without verifying your email and I have to wait painfully for the emails to arrive at my inbox, worse - I have one of my email forwarded to another account and if the verification email lands at my old email's junk, its done... So, is there any other alternatives? some available workarounds -

OAuth / OpenID
Allowing the user to continue using the service and let them verify at their convenience

Also, rather than confirming via a link which then takes to the webapp for the confirmation, why not confirm them using say a reply email? this way the user doesn't have to leave their mailbox (more convenient for a mobile user)

Are there any alternatives, or am I just not in the reality?

While I strongly dislike "puzzle questions" and questions which don't directly apply to the job (e.g. Reverse Linked List for a Java job?), I will say that this comment:

> I checked the guy who asked me the question, he never went to any competitive school or never has done anything special except mugging up those linked list question.

Makes you look bad. Disagreeing with the questions or interview process is completely fine. Making it personal by looking up the interviewer and then suggesting that such questions are unreasonable because the interviewer isn't worthy of them is unprofessional and immature.

Also maybe this is a company YOU don't wish to work at? If they were giving you inappropriate interview questions maybe that is an indicator of the company's internal culture (e.g. unreasonable demands, etc).
There is difference between trolls and harassers.

If I will go through this forum and add reply to every post in an attempt to get random people angry, I am a troll. If I personally target you, publish your ssn and spread lies about you, then I am harassing you.

The solution to trolling is not feeding them in majority of cases, but it will not solve harassment problem.

One of the problem w/ traditional credit cards is that my interests are not aligned with those of the card issuer. It's better for me to pay off my balance every month, but better for my bank if I don't so they can collect interest.

Will this be any different with Final? If so, how do you plan to make money?
I guess that some interviews are more about showing off their (interviewer's) skills instead of mutually exchanging views. Cliched puzzles around linked lists are one game they are good at and gives them a confidence to beat you at their own game.
You are assuming that I find it unsatisfactory.
You don't because that's how HTTPS is built: the client trusts whatever is sent its way as long as it's sent with a certificate that matches the domain.

Said differently, the server trusts Cloudflare to distribute the content as expected, under its own name. This is _technically_ no different than you trusting a machine to run the correct code and return the correct page, whether it's at home or at your hosting provider. You as a website owner have to trust all those components to behave correctly, and Cloudflare is just another piece of it.

Of course given the easiness with which Cloudflare can intercept the data (versus your hosting provider running some other code), the threat becomes palpable, but HTTPS can't give you anything here.
I am the last person to advocate a rewrite but such a thing seems appropriate at this point. Has anyone attempted that in rails, Python, node? Considering the source code is available, should be feasible?
> users do care

Disagree. Reddit & (the old) Digg both use a naive implementation that repeats stories and they have/had millions more users than HN (and nobody complained).
I've always viewed "first ever" or "best ever" or really any superlative claim with huge prejudice. As in, that's quite a claim to be making without providing evidence.

On the plus side, I couldn't find that claim anywhere on the site.

My point and suggestion being, try to avoid making claims like that if you can't or don't support them. Perhaps I'm a rare pragmatic fuddy-duddy, but pure marketing hype really turns me off of a product/service.
soo study included amazon 3rd parties or no? thats a huge detail article left out
I was wondering about the number embossing as well. I could see it confusing or sketching out some cashiers, especially with all the recent news about credit card fraud. I like the e-ink idea that Plastc had and would be very attracted to this card if it had that just for ease of use.
The quote is from the perspective of 'a woman from Beijing', it's not meant to be an exhaustive list, just as this article is not meant to be a research study - it's a perspective piece. Interestingly enough, it implies that women from Beijing (or at the very least this one) are under the impression that those are the only three jobs available to Chinese immigrants. Of course there are more possible jobs available, but I find the anecdotal perspective more valuable in this journalistic context.
> Final lets you give a unique credit card number to every merchant, or a disposable one-time use number for one-off purchases.

This is something I have been asking for since forever! People on here claimed it was "impossible" because of how credit cards work, I guess not...

> Tired of your monthly yoga pants subscription? Or a two-week "free" trial that lasted four months? Just deactivate that card number. It's that easy.

They need to be careful what they advise. That advice could (and likely WILL) result in people getting taken to collections.

Don't like your ISP? Just cancel the CC number, then 12 months later get a bailiff turn up and seize your stuff...
Small children (and many adults; and to some extent everyone) overreact when they get stressed: they become angry, self-centered, and incapable of measured logical thinking; they interpret incidental or minor problems as calamities; they lose sight of context and feel insulted by normally harmless comments; they ascribe their stress to totally unrelated causes. When multiple people are involved, and more than one is stressed, you get horrible miscommunication, and shouting matches where both people are convinced that the other one is a jerk.

As people grow up, they can learn to control their emotional response, or at least learn non-destructive coping mechanisms. (For instance, leaving an argument alone until both parties have calmed down enough to think about what’s really at stake in the argument and what’s important and come up with solutions that both can agree to.) They can learn the true causes of their stress, and try to fix those, instead of blaming unrelated people or events.
I think that weird semantic nature is because there's more than one entity involved here.

AirBnB is just a platform. It is, by itself, legal. However, virtually everyone who uses AirBnB uses it illegally.

Thus, it's not illegal (because AirBnB the service is not forbidden) but it's not legal (because it's hard to use the service without breaking the law, and in practice almost nobody does what's required).

What about ending anonymity? Much as I like the idea of remaining annoymous online (not that I am here), there are legal means to deal with the extreme end of the trolling spectrum so long as you can identify them.

The next issue that pops up of course is privacy. We need to end anonymity while making privacy the default. But that allows criminals to communicate privately - they can now, but it takes effort and many don't know how.
Disposable credit card numbers have been around for decades. The user experience has historically been miserable. Maybe this will be better. Doubt it.
This event reminds me of an old definition for "distributed system":

"A distributed system is one in which the failure of a computer you didn't even know existed can render your own computer unusable." (source: http://research.microsoft.com/en-US/um/people/Lamport/pubs/d...)

In this case, the failure of a system most people didn't even know existed (Belkin's heartbeat server) rendered their router unusable.
Interesting concept that solves an actual problem. It will be interesting to see what kind of pricing they will adopt.

I was actually surprised that the workers in question are themselves Chinese. In and around DC (Indian Head extends perhaps 15 miles out) restaurants that 10 or 15 years ago would have been staffed entirely by Asians are overwhelmingly staffed by Hispanics under Asian management.

I often wonder what sort of path the people who used to work those jobs have taken since.
Wait, isn't this the same information the github dashboard, repo commit log (on github.com), desktop client (on mac), and cli already tell you? Am I missing something?
Counterpoint.

If you get taken to collections over a trivial amount (<$100), its not into taken account for your credit score (latest FICO model fixed that).

Have to go to court for collections? The first words out of your mouth need to be, "Verify the debt." Ask them to produce the document you signed and agreed to. In the vast majority of cases, without this, your case will be dropped with prejudice. This is based on research I did while dealing with a personal mortgage "issue".
