When I was in high school there was a similar shaming incident with a girl and a VHS tape. It's not the medium that's the problem. While I think the majority of the HN community would agree that snapchat has serious security issues, once the images leave the victim's handset it's a hopeless situation. In digital media if it's consumable it's reproducible (just need another camera). That's the lesson for the kids--not this app is or isn't "safe" for nudie pics.

I don't really see a good way to address the bullying issue. It's been more than a decade since I received my first lecture on the permanence of content published to the internet (by my 70ish year old school librarian no less). This isn't a new problem and it seems there's no shortage of regrets out on the WWW. It's safe to say the jury is still out on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Right_to_be_Forgotten which is what I gather is at least the spirit of what you're advocating?

IMO who's responsible here are the kids and vicariously the parents. The parents need to educate their kids, pay attention to what the kids are doing, and support their bullied kids--even through the justice system if necessary. Less nudie pics created and more punishments of blackmailers are about the only things I think will help. Maybe snapchat not being so naive/deceptive with their security would help in the short term but my bet is any of the 100 other "secure" messaging apps would fill the sucker/idiot gap pretty quickly.
Oh come on, telling him takes all the fun out of it.
Marshall followed up with “But when those (further) test results come back, we’ll know for sure”. I think your assessment of the situation is premature at best.

In any case, the tone for the statements by Marshall that you quoted were, to me, set with this earlier one:

“There have been past issues where permits were issued to operators that they shouldn’t be injecting into those zones and so we’re fixing that,”

Could this guy be any more wishy washy?
People should be skeptical of the content they read, sure, but in this case has HN acted as a bit of a filter on the sort of content about the game reaching HN readers? This story made the front page while many about technical issues with the game have not.
Eating more fat makes meeting the protein goals even harder because fat also sate you. You need some fat - too little is dangerous - and I don't really bother care about my fat intake other than making sure it's comfortably into safe levels (getting too little is actually a concern for me when trying to maximize protein, but it's not hard)

As for weight of muscles, the dry weight of muscle of someone who is fat will probably consist of more fat than protein, but muscle synthesis is driven by amino acids (the constituent parts of proteins), and the muscle fibres which is what gives you your strength is pretty much all protein.

Everyone will store some fat in cells in/around their muscles, but getting more fat in your diet has very limited effect on your ability to synthesise muscle. You may appear to get bigger muscles due to added fat, but you won't get stronger (and you'll lose definition, which is more of a body builder concern).

Basically you need amino acids, and while the body can synthesise a good chunk of the needed amino acids from other food-stuffs, if you want to add muscle there's nothing that's as efficient as getting protein, optionally supplemented with some amino acids (getting the optimal proportion of the "big three" amino acids for adding muscle - leucine, valine and isoleucine - from food sources is hard; once you get to advanced levels of lifting, you may be able eek out some tiny added benefits from branched-chain amino acid supplements that contain just those).
Forgot these:

- Random graphics glitches, especially in Safari. Random garbage/empty areas being painted.

- FileVault's encryption process doesn't finish. "Connect power adapter to resume encryption". It is connected. Has been doing this since I upgraded.

- If you enable "Reduced transparency", you get certain graphics artifacts. For example, the rounded corners on screen overlays such as the brightness and volume settings are painted in.
I wonder, with the recent open sourcing of C#/.Net, would a Clang/LLVM module for them be out of the question? That would make for some sweet ability to port applications around. :)
"Gigabit speeds", free access, ostensibly physical-only advertisement for financial support... wow, sounds perfect!

But if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. What else might these hotspots do? Insert header "permacookies" to enable tracking across the web? Track people physically all over the city by their WiFi broadcasts? Provide realtime session content and user location data to NYPD? To FBI/NSA?

Please excuse my cynicism. Is it really wise to put NYC "in the middle" of your connections on purpose? Is it wise even to distribute WiFi points of presence around the city, where they can more comprehensively surveil the population? Are NYC's motives truly so benign/altruistic?
Sorry, but "Untrusted remote storage" and "No server-side processing" are exactly the opposite of what I need.

If the original box is ever compromised, I don't want the attacker to gain any access to the backup. If you use a dumb storage like S3 as your backup server, you need to store your keys on the original box, and anyone who gains control of the original box can destroy your S3 bucket as well. Ditto for any SSH-based backup scheme that requires keys to be stored on the original box. A compromised box could also lie about checksums, silently corrupting your backups.

Backups should be pulled from the backup box, not pushed from the original box. Pushing backups is only acceptable for consumer devices, and even then, only because we don't have a reliable way to pull data from them (due to frequently changing IP addresses, NAT, etc).

The backup box needs to be even more trustworthy than the original box, not the other way around. I'm willing to live with a significant amount of overhead, both in storage and in bandwidth, in order not to violate this principle.

The backup box, of course, could push encrypted data to untrusted storage, such as S3. But only after it has pulled from the original box. In both cases, the connection is initiated from the backup box, not the other way around. The backup box never accepts any incoming connection.

Does Attic support this kind of use case? The documentation doesn't seem to have anything to say about backing up remote files to local repositories. I don't see any reason why it won't be supported (since rsync does), but "nominally supported" is different from "optimized for that use case", and I suspect that many of the latest generation of backup tools are optimized for the opposite use case.

If short of time, you can get something from this article just by skimming the first section about hipsters in Hastings. The gist is that there is often a PR company (or wave of them) behind a story pushing a particular angle.
I don't see how this is a problem? You just saved a ton of money by not building a cable.

What makes you think Haxe is simpler to compile than these two?
Here in PA it is well known that the state and the oil & gas companies are in bed together. As far as I'm concerned, the companies drilling and developing these gas wells have been extremely exploitative, manipulative, and down right dirty. They hire landmen thugs to bully and exploit landowners into leasing their land for bottom dollar. They drill gas wells with a cocktail of chemicals that they keep secret so as to obstruct water testing. They contaminate residents wells and then have the cases gag ordered. They lobby our state government to lease state land and bypass taxes. They put contaminated water in containment ponds (not cleared for toxic waste) knowing they have active leaks and do nothing about it [1]. In every way, the marcellus and utica shale play has been more about screwing over local residents for profits then about the shill they throw up on tv about american energy independence. It's a lie.

I believe this terminology goes back to Rudolf Carnap; it actually predates the use of "functor" in category theory.
That's where MS tends to bug me. Why wasn't that fixed within a few hours of somebody discovering the problem? I ran into a similar issue on an app I just wrote that spits out CSVs. I googled, found a stackoverflow post about how to escape CSVs properly with Excel in mind, and fixed it. One primarily JavaScript dev and maybe an hour of testing, diagnosis and repair.
Even under perfect conditions, this would provide a tiny bit of extra light for a few seconds per orbit, not even close to enough to make a difference unfortunately.

The real problem is that all of the major package managers require root, and usually you can't set the install prefix to a different folder than '/' (like for example '~/.local/'), without using chroot (again root is needed there).

It is true that some packages DO actually require root (like obviously the kernel), but most really don't.

A package manager that works like this would be portable to any distro. I think Nix and Guix are supposed to do this.

Not a stupid question at all. A dive through the patent record reveals a ton of amazing ideas for locking random objects up. in my conversations with Bob Swartz he has been fond of saying that locks are essentially latches, which is a great way to think of them.

> so the customers are paying.

Yeah. Kindof. NAB has the debit card account free of charge, unlimited ATM withdrawals, transfers across banks free and attractive savings rates. CBA's fee is $5/mo unless you get a salary per month through your account. Pretty much the same for the 4 major banks.

In France you need to pay 60-120€/year for an account + CC. In Australia you don't need to pay. In US don't they beg you to open a credit card?

Ask HN: Where to sell a product/codebase (almost developed)?
I've a friend who made a software product, but is planning to move on. She wants to sell - I'm not sure of the revenue, or the number of customers. She's got a developer working for her, and most of the development is done.

Other than Flippa, is there a place where she can sell? She is also okay with partnering up with someone. The software serves the home renovation niche.
Why not.. MINIX?
Cool thanks! :D
I use a wired version all the time and I love how I can zone in and ignore the things going on around me! Motion sensing would be a bit of an expensive add-in. :( We would want to open up the API, thinking about it but we're a little worried because we don't know if there will be much application as our feature set is very tailored to the use case that we've defined :/

We will get color photos eventually - they're being taken, they're just subject to a 6-month embargo.
I still don't understand how they monetize from this at all. Square cash (which this is built on) has no fees...
Hmm, well. For emscripten, the code is run through the C preprocessor, then clang and LLVM have to sucessively "lower" it several times, and then generate asm.js.

Haxe, on the other hand, is a high-level language that could be compiled to JavaScript much more simply.

But then, I'm not sure why Dart would be slow, then, given it's also quite high-level. Tree-shaking of the standard library? Having to compile the standard library?
For what it's worth I would absolutely love a discrete math course from Khan academy.

Haxe + Flambe really is a nice combination for developing 2D games for us at the moment. We cover old browsers with Flash (IE6 etc.) and modern browsers - either canvas or WebGL, with almost no concern about which ends up running in the end on the client. It almost feels like magic at times. The compiler also generally seems very fast as well.

Sublime text makes a nice(ish) IDE with free plugins.

Additionally, we can relatively easily compile out iOS and Android binaries should we want/need to. It's a very nice system to work with and has caused us very little problems with just getting things done.

Names of bills nowadays have little to do with their content. Maybe we should just get rid of names altogether and refer to them by SHA hashes of their content...

Presumably most of the images on the internet could be captioned "A cat" :-) This is really impressive research though, lots of applications in even mundane things like figuring out streetview images. The really interesting test will be with Google Image search where the auto-caption text is more accurate than the image description.
>You misunderstood what the Petrie multiplier is. It assumes equal non-zero racism/sexism/minorityism.

misunderstanding is all yours. Equal sexism results in worse experience by the members of minority. Equal experience would necessarily require lower sexism displayed by the members of the majority - read the Petrie multiplier post again if you don't understand that statement. Thus push for equal experience in a male dominated environment is an equivalent of push for the males in that environment to display lower sexism than the women in the same environment. In other words it is an "attack on men".

>I posit to you that there is no reason why it shouldn't be zero.

And there is no reason why people shouldn't violate red light. In theory. They do it in practice.

You have a point, but you are missing a larger problem that is part of why the US financial system is regulated the way it is. Regulatory capture by the banks themselves. At this time the regulatory environment serves as much as a barrier to entry as it does protection for the consumer. All the "whips and bondage" compliance requirements are relatively easy to achieve if you're already a full-scale multi-billion dollar bank. But they are a formidable moat for any startup that needs to scale before they can afford to do all the necessary compliance auditing.

This is why simple.com is a friendly front-end for an existing financial institution and not a bank in it's own right.

Yeah, pretty much. If you are responsible, you get back 1% of all of your purchases on the CC. And in the spirit of "who pays for that", it's the folks carrying a balance who pay for the 1% cash back on everything.

Show HN: Forecaster by Saasu – cash flow forecasting for business
Better, but it might still expose to the attacker more data than he would otherwise have access to. For example: production box only contains data from the last 3 days, but the backup contains data from the last 12 months.

Even stricter access controls (write once, no read) might help with that. Not sure if you can do that with S3 though.
We built a cash flow forecasting tool in our online accounting product Saasu, we call it Forecaster.

We'd love feedback and happy to answer any questions.
I think naming backups and archiving the old files should be separate applications - that could be generic to whatever backup tool you decide to use.
I would start with adding fields to a CSV from some open public data and building reports that include featurs like GROUP BY month and ORDER BY city_name.

That'll give you some understanding of the richness that's available to you when you start to use SQL. Until you get why SQL is amazing, SQL will feel like a chore.

Once you feel comfortable with custom reports, you should learn about performing queries on queries (via subqueries, CTEs or views ... all very similiar) and queries between tables (JOINs).

Once you have JOINs and subqueries down, you'll be able to do things that are both blazing fast (compared to similiar operations in your application) and extremely memory efficient.

Your orbital period of 11.1 hours at 30 km looks wrong. The video shows about 7/8 of a 30-km orbit over 14 days (19 Nov - 3 Dec). The orbital period formula gives 14.6 days (2 * 3.14159265 * sqrt(30000^3/(6.67384e-11 * 10^13)) / 3600 / 24).

I do ~1000 lines day when building something from scratch (sometimes more) and 500 lines a day in maintenance mode is a good day of bugfixin or feature-addition. Then there's review and testing, but the failures aren't spectacular when they inevitably happen...mostly typos or very edge cases that weren't covered in the story.
