Running an e-mail server is a time consuming job. If you have financial capability to use a transactional email service, like Mandrill you mentioned, by all means, do so, and spend your time on your app.
that's true, seems like there should be a way for funds to be exhausted at some point, and it could lead to a bit of spam.
Anecdotally, it's a lot easier now with 3g/wifi/4g than it was for the average person even a few years ago.

Also, you could argue that radio has become even less interesting as a medium in the last decade. Last, a lot of niche celebrities are doing podcasts now, so when you combine those things together, it seems like the makings of an interesting inflection point.

You can't pass on your US citizenship unless you have lived in the US for N years, with N being 5, IIRC.
In USA's case:

USD $1 million + tax on the worldwide income of a millionaire for 5 years + spending of a millionaire in the national economy for 5 * 182 days + tax on the worldwide income of a millionaire for as long as he remains a citizen plus 10 years afterwards

In UK's case:

£1 million + tax on the worldwide income of a millionaire for 6 years + spending of a millionaire in the national economy for 6 * 182 days

You mentioned 2,3,4 years for the indefinite leave to remain and the powerful non-domicile tax status, all of which are true but irrelevant to this analysis. Anyone trying to gain citizenship through the investor program must be a tax resident for at least 6 years.

In Canada's case:

CAD $0.8 million + tax on the worldwide income of a millionaire for 3 years + spending of a millionaire in the national economy for 3 * 182 days

In St. Kitts's case:

A one time payment of USD $0.25 million
Or maybe it's just a cool hackathon project using Bitcoin and the Github APIs...

Seriously, what is the big deal with this? The developers are more than able to simply ignore the donations. Anyone who wasted time complaining in that Github thread could have clicked "mark as spam" in a fraction of the time and been done with it.
I think the best thing is to be with someone who understands your work life, and either doesn't mind it or has something similar on their own.

There is nothing worse than having a SO who is the type of person who barely works and then wants to party and do things nonstop, while all you want to do is work on that project you have yet to finish.
Replacing the standard C memory allocator is a stupid idea.

Incorrect. There are a lot of reasons (for tracing, for debugging, for providing fast allocations, etc.) for replacing the standard malloc() implementation in a given program.

Simply put, recall that that allocator has to be good-enough for the general case, and as such cannot be the best for any particular case. It's tricky to get right, but it's hardly a "stupid idea".
I mostly shoot photos when traveling. So I do

year\year-month location

Then under that yyyymmdd, then sorted by camera (I have multiple) and then location or subject and under that pictures of people I'm with (I like taking pictures of things more than people so my pictures of friends/family go in their own folder, while my wife likes pictures of people more) sorted by person or group of people.

So for example
2010\2010-11 Paris\2010-11-27\Nikon\Louvre

Is where all the pictures of the Louvre I took on that day are. If I need to find pictures of the Louvre, I just use Everything on the top level folder and search for "Louvre".

It works well enough, and I just sort everything back at the hotel while I'm copying off of my camera onto my laptop. I'm not super strict about the specific locations, sometimes under "Nikon" will just be a pile of pictures. Depends on how motivated I am to sort. I'm usually really good about filtering out pictures of people from stuff though, and I post pictures of people to my G+ account so my friends and wife and can enjoy them, and I use my flickr for stuff. The best quality stuff I then publish through Getty. Maybe less than 1% gets professionally published, but I have almost 120,000 photos organized this way. I spend lots of time editing metadata in flickr and even more for the Getty material since they have very high quality control.

I don't really make much money at it, but it's a hobby and I get to call myself a "professional photographer" in some settings.
Have you ever taken psychedelics? Did you even read the article? You cannot judge things you are ignorant of.

Also, none of the programmers in the comments are high while coding. Some who have used psychedelics only told it gave them more insight in i.e. patterns and structures.

To me personally, psychedelics saved my life. One trip showed me exactly what to do to be happy again and ever since my life is going exactly how I want it. Before I was living the life other people expected me to live, without even being aware of that (like the majority of people).

Using drugs to escape might be sad, but using psychedelics to expand your mind is something I could recommend to almost anyone. There's a lot of wisdom hidden inside of us that is mostly supressed by the way we are nurtured, psychedelics make us connect to this again and teach us to be our real selves.

Here's a small sample of projects we've worked on in the last year:

- Worked with over 100 volunteer developers to crowdsource and populate contact-congress, an open dataset describing the contact forms of members of congress.

- Created and open-sourced congress-forms: a delivery mechanism for sending emails to congress based on the contact-congress dataset.

- Created a new (and soon-to-be open source) activism platform that’s currently live at act.eff.org.

- Built the sites Surveillance Self-Defense, DearFCC.org, The Day We Fight Back, Trolling Effects, Tor Challenge and countless others, which were visited by over 2 million people in 2014.

- Launched a preview version of our OpenWireless open source router firmware.

We're currently hiring a frontend designer/developer, a backend developer, and a technology generalist. The latter two jobs are listed on this page: https://www.eff.org/about/opportunities/jobs

Bitcoin is a scheme designed to create a deflationary store of value by wasting electrical energy, co-opted by a vast amount of people who really did look at it like "tulips" and who continue to operate today as if it's a pump-and-dump. You are certainly right to point out that there are a lot of Bitcoin developers and users who are not assholes and have good intentions, but Bitcoin is not the vehicle that's going to work for things like banking in undeveloped countries.

I'm honestly a bit surprised you brought that up, as even with the mining fees needed to pay off the Bitcoin network being subsidized by inflation of the money supply (which is apparently good when it's happening now in accordance with an algorithm that was certainly not determined by a centrali party, but won't be good in 20 years because ???), Bitcoin currently requires about $18 per transaction (https://blockchain.info/charts/cost-per-transaction). And the price is only that low because the value of Bitcoin in USD has been dropping steadily for months. If Bitcoin ever became as popular as its proponents hope then the per/tranx price will go up as well (until the entire network is burning through so much electrical power that more miners can't be brought online to compete in the Mine-a-Block lottery at the new, higher Bitcoin price).

Increasing the number of transactions will help, sure, but it's currently limited to ~7 per second, and although there are technical means of increasing that someday, the Bitcoin lead developer has indicated they probably wouldn't do that anyways (https://bitcoinfoundation.org/2014/10/blocksize-economics/) since then how will the poor miners make money?

And in a future where people actually have to bid their transaction fee high enough to be accepted by benevolent miners just to make it in the blockchain, how are the poor of Africa supposed to compete at all? I'm glad you're worried about them, but don't tie their fate to a network which is designed to be horribly inefficient just so people can say that no trusted third parties were ever utilized in a monetary transaction! Especially in this era of increasing centralization in Bitcoin itself; I don't see how those in Africa were their most-capable computing device is a mobile are supposed to compete with the mining pools and ASIC manufacturer/miners, all you'll have done is traded centralized protocols regulated by the public sector with centralized Bitcoin overseen by the profit-seeking private sector.

I'm not an expert on the wide field of crypto-currency but surely there must be something better out there.

always speak up, never keep your mouth shut, there are laws in place to protect against retaliation for speaking up. One of the unspoken factors in a compensation plan is that women tend to work for less (ie they typically don't negotiate for more). I am a woman, and I've learned to ask for more, but I used to just take what i was offered for face value. It is possible the company expects no one to speak up- and so it goes.
The outright refusal to de-list projects makes this seem very suspicious.

It makes it seem like they want to capitalize on well-known oss projects, and more or less trick people into giving money, when there's no clear entity behind the service and no clear rules about what happens with "unclaimed" money.

The two obvious explanations here are "scam" and "thoughtless developers". In either case, I wouldn't want any project I was associated with, listed on their page.
I was wondering which tab was playing audio as well. This sounds like Chrome bug however.

Ask HN: As startup founder, how do you know what people want?
i have following this awesome lecture http://startupclass.samaltman.com

I think that every success startup like airbnb, stripe and others is start from "make something people want"(of course, is known widely as ycombinator.com tagline). So i think, the most important step is to know what people want.

Please give me advice,thanks!

> it is a country’s sovereign right to decide who to let in and who to keep out

would you accept it if a country kept out black people or people who are gay?
I think many (most?) people people are aware

In my experience, they're simply not. If you ask them specifically if this is happening, they nod and say they are aware, but not so much because they're aware as because the X-Files[1] told them it was true.

[1] By which I mean mass media itself is telling them what it's doing to them, as it does it.
Who Will Replace UX Agency Adaptive Path After Citi Acquisition?
Here's an interesting one. They only email contributors when they have over 0.005 BTC sitting around. So any contributor who over their lifetime is donated less than 0.005 BTC is never told that the money has been given to them.

So we can reasonably expect that almost all the money put into this service will end up sitting around and not going to the people it's supposed to help.
This is rarely about time, and more about relative importance. Work can be an obsession, which is easy to confuse with "more important than me."

I doubt your girlfriend is asking for work/life balance, exactly. She's probably just saying she wants to feel as important as work seems. That's a thing you can work on.
very frustrating issue in Cyprus is that wealthy foreigners get their passport within 1-2 months while non-EU foreigners who have been living in the country for over a decade (my wife included) have to wait for at least 7 more years after applying for citizenship due to the bureaucracy.
> Gold is valuable because it takes effort to find, mine and refine.

Other way around, people spend effort to find, mine and refine gold precisely because it's subjectively valuable.

That's always been the ironic thing to me about Bitcoin, is that by establishing that people can attach subjective value to things (like computer bits), it proves that fiat currencies can work too precisely because subjective value exists.

Likewise I doubt Bitcoin would ever fall all the way to $0, simply because there will always been enough believers "holding the bag" and trying to loop people into the "Internet funbux" club to maintain the value at some low (but non-zero) level.
SCHEDULE.

1. Schedule most times spent with spouse. For everything. I really mean everything. Dinner date? Schedule it in advance. Going house-hunting? Schedule the visits. Movies? Schedule the evening way in advance. Visiting folks? Agree on a set date.

2. Stick to the schedules like a mofo. Integrity integrity integrity. Promises broken because schedules could not be kept are more likely the reason for an unhappy spouse (or kids!) rather than the amount of time spent with them. No one likes getting their hopes up only to be let down last minute.

3. Never accept an impromptu activity with spouse without agreeing to set off existing agreed upon schedules. This reinforces your commitment to the discipline of schedules. They know you are serious about your time and doing so shows that you acknowledge and respect theirs.

4. Try to keep one day of the week as a wild card where you don't work and simply say yes to anything they (spouse/kids) ask. Schedule this day secretly without telling them. This is the day you can "disrupt" them by saying "Let's go for ice cream" while they are busy. See what happens.

5. When complaints are raised against you for not spending enough time with them, open your schedules - demonstrate the obvious.

6. Never work on a Sunday. This should be your wild card day.
It seems fairly obvious that "pride" simply isn't appropriate in either case. It only serves to cloud the issue with entitlement and expectations of privilege based on nothing in particular.

That seems to go against the idea of tip4commit, the idea is that contributors (through pull requests etc) can be compensated as well automatically. Same if there's multiple contributors to a project the compensation is split between them based on the amount of commits they make.
Tableau Software - Palo Alto and Seattle
Helping people see and understand their data.

Tableau Software is growing like crazy and looking for talent: front end, back end, mobile; developers and managers. If you can name a software challenge, we are addressing it to solve our customers' problems.

We are the fastest growing BI software company, and headed to being the fastest growing enterprise software company...but we're really doing that by being an any-knowledge-worker software company in disguise. Better yet, we are an open, collaborative, fast-growing software company with a data visualization product people describe using the words "fast, easy, beautiful."

This is a great company. I started there earlier this year. The development team is top notch, the sales team knows how to treat customers, and HR knows how to take care of us.

BTW, if you're near Palo Alto, we've having a happy hour next week (5-Nov-2014, see the invitation at https://tableaudevhh.eventbrite.com).

> Look up what "condoning" means. It does not mean what you think it means.

Whoops typo. Care to respond to the spirit of the argument, rather than its letter?

> Even the weakest passcode option is more than 13 bits, but neither Apple nor Google restricts you to such short passcodes.

Care to break down the entropy of user supplied passcodes? Does it surpass 80 bits? No. 12, 13, 14, 24, 50? At that complexity it's all the same to law enforcement.

> > [CALEA nonsense]

Nah, I was quoting the top of the thread and capitalizing "DATA AND key escrow" in response to "This whole thread has been about whether they have the keys to decrypt encrypted data on the device. They don't." It hasn't been wholly about whether they have the keys, but whether they can get the data. Keys are one way to do this. Brute forceable keys are another. Data backups are another. Broken crypto is another. Etc.

The thread has not been about whether they have the keys - but whether they work with law enforcement to create systems can be subverted, either by creating ineffective crypto, crypto with low entropy or controlled keys, key escrow or direct data escrow.

The other point was to remind you that the topic is about more than CALEA, but in fact other laws (and interpretations thereof). You're the one who has tried to make the focus about CALEA in isolation.

> > Google is no different.

> Exactly. They don't provide the government with decryption keys either.

Right, but they do provide _data escrow_ and mechanisms to defeat in place on-device crypto (such as access to data backups stored in the cloud).

> It's been fun, but you'll have to argue about imaginary laws, black helicopters, chemtrails, and ice bullets with your fellow conspiracy theorists. If you won't trust primary sources and common sense, there's nothing more I can do.

Straw men. All of it.

I directly quoted (this is just one example) from primary sources the policies in place today that provide data escrow. I also discussed the backdoorable design of the Secure Enclave using primary documents.

Common sense is something every man thinks he has a monopoly on. It is for neither of us to decide if the other has it (for I would be prone to say the same).

I'm sorry to hear that you are done contributing - there's so much left in the thread that was never challenged. I found the conversation very valuable as it has provided (at least me) a good opportunity to dig up additional sources and has provided a stage for dissemination of information to broader eyes.

I'm very glad that the discussion is in public record, and that other HN readers can access this information, do their own research, and decide for themselves.

See you around the next Snowden thread! ;)

Legacy. Drupal was quicker on the "different user roles CMS"-ball which left Wordpress behind.

Now that Wordpress has caught up and come up with solutions to content access, I find that WP is far superior to Drupal in every way. The fact that Drupal doesn't allow classes as modules is a complete deal breaker for me - functional Drupal modules are a complete and utter mess.
