Well, a few things. First off, a lot of people on here probably understand that when you don't have money to pay for bandwidth, banning people who use a lot of it might be reasonable. It's not like you have a whole lot of other options. Passing around the hat isn't likely to work, and if they could get additional funding, they already would have.

Second, even if people didn't understand that, the HN crowd is a tiny slice of the good hackers out there. Most of the best people I know do not read it, or even actively disdain it. "Cesspit" and the like are a terms I have heard in person or on newsgroups used to describe the comments section here.

Third, I'll bet most HN people don't even know the names of Twitpic's founders. I don't. I wouldn't be able to identify whether another company, down the line, was founded by them.

Lastly, I doubt most HN people are so principled that a year or two from now they would turn down an otherwise compelling job offer because the founders of the company were once associated with banning Archive Team's IPs. It's mildly annoying at worst.
In addition to the page count people are mentioning, I don't think the Google factor is fair either. Almost anything can be googled, short of bleeding edge, very technical work. It's all about presentation/wording and how easy the author makes it for the reader to understand/consume. I've seen plenty of terrible, terrible guides/tutorials online, but hey, they're free.
They can't do the same with NYC because the entire premise of AirBnB is illegal in NYC unless specific conditions are met. Since 72% of listings are technically illegal, there is no way they would shed 72% of listings just to make the remaining 28% tax compliant. This is why many view them negatively -- they blatantly facilitate illegal transactions. The fact that they are doing tax deals with other cities only underscores that they clearly know their users are violating NYC law.
This is a potentially useful development, especially considering the possibilities of the reverse piezoelectric effect. That is, applying a current causes the material to change shape, the inverse of current generation. That could be a key to creating new products.

In fact, Epson patented just such a mechanism used in their inkjet printers. The mechanical force of current-activated piezoelectric material is used to propel droplets of colorant toward the ink-receptive surface.

Epson's success in the printer market has been notable, especially in the domain of photo printing. Because of the patents, other manufacturers, notably Canon, had to invent an alternative way to squirt colorants. Their solution was the "bubble-jet" process, heating a tiny amount of aqueous ink to vaporize it generates pressure to force droplets out of the print head.

The new, very thin piezoelectric material may have properties of this kind that can be exploited. Imagine, for example, tiny valves or actuators that could have uses in health care, robotics, etc. Combined with described piezoelectronic properties, there are a mind-boggling number of possibilities.
I hope we see more key isolation going on in the near future even where titus is overkill. Process-per-connection tends to cross the cost-benefit threshold for high-traffic/low-to-medium importance stuff, but key compromise is a giant pain in the ass no matter what you're doing.

On the other hand, if you want to go further into tinfoil-hat territory, find a way to isolate each process in a separate container. :) (Bonus points: Tear down/rebuild the container for each new connection.)
An incredibly shoddy narration of the chain of events.
It depends on what you are considering. If 1/20 people of a population were 100% Neanderthal, and the rest 0% Neanderthal, over millenia, and assuming random mixing, the whole population would tend towards what it is today.

So we are potentially heirs of a population where Neanderthals mixed with non-Neanderthals in a (very) broadly similar ratio as Europeans versus non-Europeans in the US today.

I only intend this to illustrate that 5% is not as trivial a number as people often imply, and that it potentially derives from a population of Neanderthals and non-Neanderthals mixing in quite a "modern" fashion.

I would add to this that one interesting fact concerning human-neanderthal genetics is the absence of Neanderthal mitochondria in modern humans. This may mean that Neanderthal women couldn't bear human-Neanderthal offspring, and if they could have, the proportion of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans might have been twice as high as it currently is.
Reducing the ice albedo from 0.6 to 0.55 allows the frozen planet to be thawed far less abruptly with little or no overshoot. In other words, making the ice dirty should melt it quickly. Just an observation from playing with the model.
There are two ways:

1. You run the db and its files inside a container and regularly export a DB dump like so (example for postgres):

docker run --volumes-from db -v $(pwd):/backup ubuntu:trusty sh -c "cd /var/lib && tar zcvf /backup/backup.tgz postgresql"

(I don't recommend this)

2. You run the db inside a docker container and mount a volume for /var/lib/postgresql into docker. This I find is the best way. the db files remain on your host and you can easily maintain the DB (runtime) and files separately.

Adjust to whatever DB you're using.
It's basically the equivalent of four 20" 1080p monitors with no border between them. For (nowadays) a bit over $300. Pretty nuts.

I've never used ClojureCLR personally, but its wiki on github claims to track the main Clojure project within weeks, and the last commit was 2 days ago. There seems to exist a version 1.6.0.

That said, I bet the tooling isn't so nice to use as Leiningen, although there does exist a Visual Studio somewhere.

Circular polarized waves invert (i.e. RHCP switches to LHCP) upon reflection. For example, precision GPS antennas need good cross-pol rejection to keep the LHCP from multipath (reflections from buildings and ground) from interfering with direct RHCP from the satellite.

In general, linear polarized waves retain their polarization, but I believe there are special cases (such as Brewster angle on dielectrics) where you can get some depolarization.

From what I read a while back, on an IEEE article on this orbital polarization, the number of orthogonal modes you can achieve is limited by antenna construction, and it definitely can't handle multi-path; strictly point-to-point microwave link. I'll bet rain will really mess it up, more so than your typical rain fade.

Still very cool though, and I still don't have my head wrapped around it, despite 20 years of RF/Microwave engineering.
Yes, this is the way to upgrade without clearing space on the device.
Street lamps – replacing sodium lamps with LEDs in the name of efficiency
Municipalities around the world are replacing traditional sodium street lights (yellow) with LED lamps and the main reason for that is assumed better energy efficiency. This argument is repeated over and over and nobody seems to care, even when millions are to be spent on that, but the facts are that sodium lamps are much more energy efficient than LEDs. Is there a way to stop the led insanity?

Exaggeration is a very different thing from pretending you designed an off-the-shelf product.

Exaggeration is normal. Nobody expects an entrepreneur to be objective and unbiased.

It's Kickstarter. They don't even need to pretend to be finished.

But if they are only providing software glue, why pretend at custom hardware?

It makes them look like less of a middleman, which is a confidence trick, and leaves a bad taste in people's mouths, much more than exaggeration does.

So reddit employees having multiple accounts? Closer to exaggeration, and something that had a legitimate purpose to it: helping conversations happen. This has only illegitimate purpose.
You can use a git post-receive hook. See here for a similar example:

No. But the fact that image meta data can be exploited is one reason.
I am not a lobbyist, but I am aware of the fact that contacting your representative to do something you want him/her to do is, in fact lobbying them. It's literally the dictionary definition:

"seek to influence (a politician or public official) on an issue."

My personal opinion is that an individual calling their representative is not the same as tons of money being poured into campaigns, but the fact remains that it is, by definition, lobbying.

Therefore, doing away with ....all.... lobbying, as the original post suggested we do, removes our voices from the system as well.

Is there a name for the argumentative tactic of speaking for a fictitious group of people so one can say, "I believe the thing you're saying is wrong, therefore everyone believes the thing you're saying is wrong"?
The combination of recommending to use modern cipher modes with no known vulnerabilities and HSTS can be lethal.

Older clients won't even know you're there. No first page, no contact info, nothing. Just hang on page load. It might not always be desirable.

It might be a good idea to have two security levels if you're doing HSTS. One to accept every cipher under the sun to use for public pages and data, and a secure one to use to protect session cookies for logged in users.

Shifting housing supply from long term housing [e.g. apartments with 6+ month leases] to hotels/AirBnB rentals [short term housing], reduces long term housing stock and raises prices for residents.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/19/nyregion/poverty-rate-in-c...

20% of NY is below the poverty line. Raising the cost of a basic necessity is really corporate welfare [because it increases costs for the government]. Much like the issue with minimum wage:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/clareoconnor/2014/04/15/report-w...

You really have 3 choices:

1) Deprive people of basic necessities.

2) Raise taxes on Capital [because Labor can't afford it, they are the one that would be subsidized...] to subsidize the basic necessities for the poor. [Hmm, seems alot of AirBnb folks are trying to dodge taxes...making them share data with the IRS/State Tax boards is nice but that doesn't make money appear out of thin air].

3) Set the rules in such a way that there is enough long term housing stock that upward price pressure is kept in line with inflation and let the market sort the rest of it out.

Now you can argue I'm wrong and there is some magical 4th option [e.g. "Increased spending by consumers/capital due to more economic efficiency from using AirBNB"] the problem with this is, without a study proving this claim you don't really have a leg to stand on.
Love UX Design and Mobile Apps: Hiring Opportunities Here
So far I only get data from aviationweather.gov's data service. It doesn't support CORS so I have to proxy it (and transform it from XML to JSON), but other than that I don't do anything else server side.

Edit: I might have misinterpreted your comment. I do use flight service and their email based easyactivate/easyclose flight plans. I don't usually use them for weather information though.

You might want to just learn tablature for the time being, unless you're thinking of doing classical guitar.

Ask HN: Beautiful Text Editor for OS X
During the last weeks I fell in love with OS X yosemite, and tweaked/replaced nearly every app I use everyday to match the visual style of yosemite... except my code editor: sublime text 3.

I know all the advantages and fixtures and as a full stack developer I "live" in my editor, but...: the whole design feels outdated now in yosemite. I already tweaked sublime through color schemes, themes and custom settings for margins and what have you, but I just can't get sublime to look beautiful.

Despite having paid for sublime, I'd ditch it right now for something truly beautiful. Syntax Highlighting/Snippets for stuff like coffee script, markdown and handlebars would be sufficient for me as featureset.

Does anyone know a text editor/IDE with a "stunning" UI? Free or paid doesn't matter for me, I just want something nice to look at for the hours of casual coding.

This must sound stupid, since most discussions about editors are based around functionality - but i'm really serious about this.
The data that I get from the web service does include a breakdown of the specific conditions (not a human readable translation, but enough to generate one). So far I haven't implemented that since I can read METARs myself. I'd want to be careful not to consume too much screen real estate. Something to think about for sure.
Random Musings on the Lollipop SDK

When you pay attention to data that much, it's a science just like any other kind right ?
Yeah, sure, a higher kinded type here, syntax sugar for generalized computation side effects there, and before you know it you're neckdeep in monad transformers and your head rapidly decompresses in a combinatorial explosion every time you try to do a new thing and users need to remember seven different type parameters to read a line from stdin. :(
F# doesn't have HKT, but still has a variant of do syntax via "computation expressions" http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd233182.aspx. It's less elegant than HKT because you have to name the monad used for the expression i.e. io { exprs }, and also involves additional boilerplate code to define them - but accomplishes many of the same objectives.

Show HN: IntroJS v1.0.0 released
Does that come along for the ride if you use Chromium rather than Chrome? I'm not next to my Mac, but I believe I remember chromium being available through the homebrew cask system.

I don't care if I don't have flash (actually I care to NOT have flash). So what reason would there be to not simply run Chromium? Or am I forgetting something useful that I'm likely using?
How do you make a database run on multiple containers and get redundancy with something like postgresql?

Nice reasoning, but I have to agree with others: A shorter, more concise book might be much harder to write and might even take longer!

There's also evidence that we are less susceptible to biases when given hypothetical scenarios in foreign languages. I am considering keeping my todo list in a foreign language, in case that helps me prioritize e.g. sales, where things like loss aversion might stifle it.

Does Strata have a website?
Short version: It's the process that runs extensions and plugins like flash.

Interestingly the solution to problems with it is the same as implemented in Opera 12 years ago: Configure the browser to run plugins only when the user explicitly activates them.
So low tar cigarettes are not as deadly as regular. Let's all have low tar cigarettes, because they're healthy.

Yeah, that's shamelessly ripped from Dr. William Davis, but it shows the logic problem.

I have to shake my head at people trying to run around the problem of carbohydrate intolerance by insisting theres a 'healthy way' to consume them. Any other food would have people advising you to stay the hell away from it if you're intolerant. But you know why carbs are different? Because they're so cheap, and governments for whatever reasons seem to want a large population (in more ways than one) rather than smaller, healthier ones.

Anywho, good luck to everyone doing the exact opposite of what the government funded "science" and corporate "health care" tell you what to do. It would be hard to do any worse...

Tagged aborts IPO plan, re-launches as if(we)
It's surprisingly easy for this to be the case. I'm not particularly great with my salary, entirely because I don't have any pressures. I'm in my early 20s, near the 6-figure threshold and it's easy to fuckup. You think, well I should be living in a nice place, I make enough money right? So you lease a penthouse. So you've got this nice condo, you need new furniture, right? Then your car you've had since college starts acting funky, so why not just buy a new one? Been there, done that. I mostly broke even on my expenditures and maintained my savings, less a downpayment on a new Civic, but you could see how things could go wrong when you get into that mentality. Now consider the similar case but with folks with little earning power. Worst case, I could break my lease and live somewhere cheaper. Worst case, they're on the streets.
Addendum: I did put the "about x minutes/hours" old thing on the data because of all the parts, the Zulu time is the one I consistently do have trouble with. :)
Are you honestly suggesting that Google is including malicious meta data in an icon pack it uploaded to Github?
This whole thing is a fiasco. But maybe if it wasn't Twitpic wouldn't get as much exposure.

My bet is that this is just a giant media whoring play. If you want to save the company data then you have to be transparent and ASK for help. If it is going to cost $15K someone might very well step up. But if you are tightlipped then people will assume the worst.
Yes.. I purchased the book although I already know most of the things there; but what would be really useful is better tutorials for how to make your own packages/syntax highlighters/build systems.
This shows the tricky position Apple is in. They are a progressive minded company with a user base that has grown to also include many traditional / conservative users who don't like change and maybe have little or no interest in the potential of new technology. Difficult to keep everyone happy. Apple has been a bit more responsive lately making some small compromises so I wouldn't be surprised if 10.10.1 improves some of the rough edges of the new UI on non-Retina displays.
Does that page has a chat? I'm already playing (I've never played Diplomacy before) but I can't comunicate with other players.
I appreciate the style of presentation, but why do we still pretend this is "music" theory? Most of this is completely useless for anyone who is interested in understanding music that wasn't written by people in powdered wigs.

Maybe they are holding out that someone will purchase still? They lose all their value the second the archive team gets all their data right?

Edit: On second thought, I agree that it's probably related to the bandwidth cost.
Circle of fifths and scales are very relevant for guitar though, even if using tablature. And it would be very useful to learn basic treble clef reading to better understand chords and scales.
Usually, when you ask your lawyer to do something, you ask how many hours you're going to incur, unless you don't care.
Sure - but a ton of people are swapping over to things like Browserify, which use NPM as the package manager even on the front end.
Hence why I made the offer ~30 minutes ago :)
yeah, it could do without the snark, but there is a point that this project doesn't really do anything other than wrap opencv with a short python script. There's nothing wrong with that, but I don't see why it's made it to the front page.

Closures aren't "free", you need to structure your code around being unable to return/break/continue across the closure boundary, and there's probably some silly borrow checker errors involved too.
There's definitely overhead to the process-per-connection approach, but I disagree that protecting the key is more important then protecting the state of the connection. A private key is just a means to the end of securing a connection, and what terrified me most during Heartbleed wasn't the private key compromises, but the fact that it exposed private user data like passwords:

https://twitter.com/markloman/status/453502888447586304/phot...

(there was probably other sensitive content like emails in that dump too)

This kind of information is far more useful to attackers, since it can be used immediately and independently, whereas a compromised private key is only useful in conjunction with an active MitM attack (if forward secrecy is used) or a passive eavesdropping attack (if forward secrecy is not used).

As for containers, titus is already using a lot of container-like techniques, such as filesystem and network isolation, and I plan to use PID namespaces in a future version. So it's probably already deep in tinfoil-hat territory ;-)
And LibreSSL also has support for ChaCha20.
