Yes, a merchant account. "Start accepting credit cards using your existing merchant account."

PayFlow is just a gateway. A gateway cannot process credit cards without being attached to a merchant account; it is just an API to bridge the web with the processing network of the merchant account provider. You can't use it to charge credit cards for $25 and $0.10 per transaction, you pay that _on top of_ the processing fees charged by the merchant account provider.

PayFlow was previously a Verisign product that PayPal acquired in 2006.

That isn't to say you can't save money over Stripe with PayPal. PayPal Payments Pro is their integrated gateway and processing solution, and discounts below Stripe's rates start at $3,000 per month of volume instead of $80,000 per month.

>>I am not saying that Angular 2.0 is going to be a bad framework. What I am saying is that it is no longer fundamentally the same thing I was originally hired to help build nor is it compatible with my vision for the future.

From what I understand, Angular 2.0 is radically different from 1.x because the team believes the future direction of javascript development will overwhelmingly be "web components" (like Polymer). Therefore, they redesigned the API with that in mind and previous concepts such as $scope,etc can be obsoleted.

Unfortunately, Eisenberg's post was vague and it would have been helpful if he inserted a few examples of concrete code snippets to illustrate what he fundamentally disagrees with. If he can explain concrete decisions around syntax, semantics, etc, that would be educational for everyone.

I searched around and found that he previously[1] mentioned a future roadmap with web components in "Durandal 3.0" so I can't tell if he currently disagrees with web components as a concept or as a timeframe of implementation.

AFIAK, Chromium core devs are all Google employees, and their code makes up the base for Chrome, although Chrome is Google branded and includes other features such as usage tracking. I found a talk given in 2011 by two Chromium devs about using clang, which seems to point to nearly the same increase in build performance along with a few other reasons they like using clang. Anyways, seems like they've been using clang for a while. http://llvm.org/devmtg/2011-11/Weber_Wennborg_UsingClangInCh...
The benefit of using LSD in a psycho-therapeutic environment is the opportunity to work through the anxiety that comes up during the trip.

For a lot of people, an emotional breakdown can act as the catalyst for a life changing emotional breakthrough.

edit to add: 'bad trip' is a subjective term.
Yeah, I would definitely consider that a red flag, and it sounds as though you made the right decision. If a company is willing to "cheat" on that front, what else is it willing to do to gain marginal advantage over employees and partners? There's a fine line between being a scrappy, rule-breaking kind of company and being a company without an ethical compass.
Shouldn't be a problem in a safe environment, specially when you're well informed about what's going to happen. Most bad trips are due to fear of the unknown, too high dose or a bad environment.
Philae hit the comet at around 0.5m/s. 0.5m/s is a very small velocity. The probe is definitely much elastic than the comet, for start, the legs were designed to be elastic.
There's Syncthing, but I'm not a big fan of the whole "server"-like interface. They've improved it recently, but it still seems quite non-consumer-friendly.

I've used Angular and Durandal and I've found Durandal to be much easier to work with. Recently I've thought about which framework I would choose for a future project and it wasn't easy to pick between these two given Durandal's uncertain future as part of Angular, and Angular's apparent scorched earth version changes.

This news makes me very happy.
Philae is getting 1 hour of sunlight about every 12 hours. Right now, it's so cold that it has to warm up the batteries before charging them, and it's getting so little light that it can't even do that. It's possible that the rotation might change, but because the probe is surrounded on 3 sides, that's not likely to help. So we'll have to wait for the temperature to get higher and/or the sunlight to get a lot stronger.
Think about dropping a golf ball onto concrete vs. sand. The harder surface will result in less loss of energy due to deformation. Thus, the ball bounces higher from the hard surface.
There is a decent range of businesses who are well-served by going the Payflow route -- government offices, non-profits, Universities, etc... Generally small-to-mid-sized businesses with small-to-mid-sized payment processing needs.

It's been a while, but I've set up a few Payflow-based systems, and it's been a great way to go... Payflow allows you much more control and detailed logging than, say Stripe. Yes, it's a bit of a pain to get it all set up at first, and there are a few tricks with error handling, but it's a good way to go to implement your own payment system.
Ice bucket challenge? no. here's the new challenge
12 lines/day/dev of "final" (tested, debugged, solves a customer problem) sounds about right.

The thing is - most code is not final. You end up writing exploratory code to test out a product, code that's rewritten because requirements change, code to test the actual code, code for projects that go nowhere and end up canceled, code for throwaway migration tools and other important tasks that aren't in the product but are necessary to build the product, code to make your job easier. All of that takes time, but it's not included in the metrics.

When I was at Google I used to joke that the half-life of my code was about a year, meaning that after a year, roughly half the code I'd written had been ripped out and replaced. Casual conversations with many other engineers indicated that their numbers were pretty similar. Over the course of 5.5 year career there, I wrote IIRC about 230,000 lines (there was a tool where you could instantly visualize your code delta across all projects you worked on). With a half life of a year, that's nearly 6 half-lives, meaning less than 1/64th of the code I wrote still exists in the codebase. It works out to about 3 lines of code/day, even though on an instantaneous week-to-week basis I was coding close to 1000 lines/week.
Re: Edit 3 - Thanks. I was trying to show one where the text was readable. I think both work, as far as I can tell.

The video is actually the worst way I've seen to perform this method/trick. The flip is actually unnecessary, as is even asking for the color of each individual card.

I really would like to continue further, but I already feel bad about any exposure I've included.
Not only 10 years ago, but also "known reliable equipment" from 10 years ago. Cutting-edge technical equipment usually isn't sent up on these things due to the propensity for unknown bugs.
I think there is such a position. If there are multiple teams, then it's important for someone (a good programmer, but whether they're called "manager" or "lead" or "architect" isn't the point) to have a good understanding of what's going on in all of the teams simultaneously. That person can notice problems that the programmers down in the weeds (even if they're called "senior developer" or "lead") might not be able to see, or might not even think of as being a solvable problem.

Doing this properly for 3-8 teams might well leave that person with little time to contribute meaningfully to any given project, but the bird's-eye view can be very much worth it.
I did not get an overwhelming sense of love and comfort (5-MeO). I got the opposite. The experience is what taught me that I shouldn't personally be dicking around with my consciousness that way.
A guy I served with credits weekly shroom trips with helping him deal with his PTS symptoms. He was not exactly a tree hugging hippie when we were both in uniform so it's good to see him being so open minded about solutions to his problems.

The utility of psychedelics in therapy has been a "known quantity" to the medical community since the 1950's at least, so it's good to see that mainstream acceptance of such is gaining ground.
If you have a problem with anxiety, don't mess around with this stuff without the oversight of a professional.

> ... That only works because there's a human driving the browser.

It works for unattended web clients (like Google's spider) too -- and not just for generating basic listings, but for structured schema-based data to update Knowledge Graph. That's one of the foundations of many of the new features of Google Search in the last several years.
> In your world, helping a friend (or a stranger) is like killing somebody?

That literally makes no sense.

I was responding to the assertion that the GPL isn't about freedome because it imposes limitations. Living in a free society also has limitations, as an example I used killing another, but we still consider the society free, so the argument doesn't hold water. Limitations =/= Unfree

Also, I never asserted that you couldn't help someone. You're free to work on your own code or other code licensed under a license you find to be fair by your own terms.

> I'm glad I'm not a part of that cult.

I'm not sure what you're referring to, as I believe what I do because I chose to and have come to this position through much debate and reading; I'm not part of any group whose dogma I'm backing. I'm perfectly free to change my opinion on the matter, without repercussion.

Please stop using hyperbola, ad hominems, and baseless (nay useless) analogies and please write a coherent rebuttal if you choose to debate this subject.
You know that the verb mechanism is extensible, right?

If your API could benefit from a particular verb (SEARCH, MOVE, CHECKOUT), just use it. You don't need (more) permission from (another) RFC - RFC 2616 and 7231 [1] already gave you permission to add verbs.

Most libraries and tools support arbitrary verbs including `XMLHttpRequest` and `curl`. Yes, there are a few libraries and frameworks that don't easily support arbitrary verbs, but the ones that have added support for PATCH generally have opened up.

Look, there are two Internets. One for people and one for machines. Our RESTful APIs are intended for consumption by machines, not people. You don't have to wedge everything into GET and POST and abuse query parameters to convey what you really mean.

I don't have a deep grasp of Civil Forfeiture but it seems like this is unusual considering DPR has not been convicted of anything yet. Is this part of a plea bargin or something similar?
> The GPL does nothing to assure that code will be available. It does assure that if code is available, then it will also usable under Free terms.

I do believe you're wrong. If I am using software licensed under the GPL, then the code _must_ be made available. That's the crux of the GPL.
I can't decide if you genuinely believe that Apple is deciding not to spend resources supporting FLAC because you think they have a "nasty attitude", or if you're deliberately misrepresenting the reasons that lead to such a decision.

Supporting FLAC requires investing engineer resources in doing this, and possibly legal resources as well. It's only something that Apple would do if there's any benefit to them doing it. And there doesn't really seem to be any benefit toward it. None of Apple's hardware supports FLAC natively, so adding support to SO X would actually be rather counterproductive as anyone using it would have to transcode it to some other format to get power-efficient decoding support on mobile devices anyway. And Apple's already had their own lossless compression codec (ALAC) for over a decade. Pretty much the only benefit to supporting FLAC natively would be to make things very slightly easier for the 0.0001% of their customers that acquire music in the FLAC format.
with the new UI version, some "enable tracker" option appeared.

I thought everything happened with a DHT ?
So, BSD/MIT are the software license equivalent to allowing people to kill without repercussion?

It seems your analogy is a wee bit overwrought.
The imaging sensors themselves will be monochromatic (B&W), so there are no color-detecting pixels. Some space imagers slide multiple colored filters in front of a single B&W camera to get colored frames. Those frames are later composited into color photos.
Will be interesting to see how this announcement effects the price of bitcoins. I would imagine there will be an initial drop out of panic, but if we see some wealthy individuals with a vested interest in bitcoin buying these up, it could very much cause a large shift upwards in price.
Having a bad trip is definitely a possibility, but it's not something that's very predictable, as the entire experience is completely foreign. You can significantly reduce the chance of a bad trip by putting yourself in a comfortable and safe environment, however.

Also, I've found "bad" trips to be just as valuable psychologically as "good" ones, though they can seem life threatening in the moment.
I posted a link to a 2011 talk from Chromium devs about using clang in another comment here, but below is a summary of what they seemed to enjoy from clang (at least, from the talk points):

- Useful warnings, they look good, and are on by default.

- More than a compiler, lets you build your own tools (example: AddressSanitizer)

- Better performance (less time) with clang vs. gcc for both -O0 -g and -O2 (at the time the benchmark was done on 8 cores, 24GB)

In summary / tl;dr : they enjoy diagnostics, the clang code base, how it works, and the ability to write their own tools. It seems like it's more to do with preference/performance and less to do with licensing. I'm sure that now they're doing many more things with clang since three years has passed since the aforementioned talk.

Board game based on logic ports and boolean logic
> But if you made that argument you'd have to make it with facts.

We don't have enough facts yet to make the determination - clang is fairly young still - but for now we do have precedences and motives. Precedences you can look up and motives - well Apple dumped GCC because they wanted to be able to do things without legally being required to publish source. So it isn't entirely without reason to wonder if clang will face a second class future due to its license.
I've seen an awful lot of 'bad news for Cisco' type stories over the last dozen years. Cheap Chinese clones were supposed to kill them, Juniper or another domestic was going to cut deep into their business, Dell or some other enterprise company in tandem with China / Taiwan or South Korea would build generic 'good enough' products and undercut them and steal all their market share....

And yet here they are, still doing $8+ billion per year in profit, $47b in revenue, carrying $61b in cash, and maintaining substantial market share.

Facebook's new data center, and its implications, is not a meaningful concern for Cisco.
from the link, and their all caps treatment preserved:

ON JANUARY 27, 2014, THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ENTERED A STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR INTERLOCUTORY SALE OF BITCOINS WHEREIN THE UNITED STATES AND ROSS WILLIAM ULBRICHT AGREED THAT THE UNITED STATES MAY SELL ANY PORTION OR ALL OF THE COMPUTER HARDWARE BITCOINS ON A DATE OR DATES IN A MANNER TO BE DETERMINED BY THE GOVERNMENT.

So, it sounds like he clearly agreed to something, as he is mentioned by name here.
You don't seem to know what you're talking about... the chance of bad tripping with DMT is about the same as with other psychedelics. It's just waaay more intense and has a shorter duration. And actually, most people argue that Ayahuasca is more likely to give you an easy ride than pure DMT, which can be "just too crazy".
That's a tough spot to be in, sounds like a series of difficult decisions. I wish him the best of luck, watching the Durandal NextGen video now. (Which apparently pre-dates all this.)
It depends, but POST to /email is more like "create new email template". As for "recalculate" what I mean is completely different from report. It is that there's some specific state of some object, when all info is already in the system and user has no control over it, but some values (depending on other values that all are already there) are denormalized and specific command from competent user is required to make it happen. For example, thing we "recalculate" might be balance or comission, but it cannot happen automatically, as some human has to verify manually that some parts of that process have been done properly.
Supported everywhere != used everywhere. In my experience, extremely few people use FLAC, because there's almost never a reason to care about having a lossless audio codec. I'm pretty sure I've seen FLAC mentioned by people coming up with reasons to complain about Apple several orders of magnitude more times than I've actually seen FLAC in the wild.
I'm actually older than most HN'ers. But a bit of a "late-bloomer" to being paid as a hacker.

Just didn't ever know that entrepreneurship was an actual option for people. Coming from a risk-averse and somewhat fatalistic family/peer group wrt work/career control hasn't helped.

One of the best parts of HN is actually reading contributions from people like you and Patrick that break down what are frankly self-limiting thought patterns.
>there exists inflation adjusted debt

Because they decided to issue it, mainly to instill confidence in a currency with a history of big inflation. But this isn't the norm.

It doesn't change the argument that it is impossible to be unable to "pay back" something that you have an infinite supply of.
By Using Executive Order on Immigration, Obama Would Reverse Long-Held Stance
Interesting. One of the commenters on the parent article has come to the opposite conclusion after starting with Durandal and switching to Angular:

"I've invested a lot in Durandal: my own startup, as well as the new tooling for RavenDB. I was planning on migrating all these projects to Angular 2.0. And after your leaving Durandal and thinking it would go stale, I started building new projects in Angular 1.x.

"Now that I've used both Durandal and Angular, it's clear to me Angular 1.x is a better framework: the NG binding system is better than KO's, I don't have to worry about observables anymore, the dependency injection, to name a few."
Civil forfeiture is different from criminal forfeiture in that it does _not_ require a guilty verdict. Civil forfeiture is against the _property_, and it puts the burden of proof on the owner of the property to prove that it was obtained legally.

Ask HN: New city, freelancer job, how do you make friends and fight loneliness?
So basically I recently moved to a new city in south eu for a new job but after just some weeks I felt like that place was cancer for my mental health and I quit asap.

So ok, that's was a very unlucky event but now I am stuck in this city and at the moment, while evaluating what to do, I am working as a freelancer (via sites like elance).

The problem is... I really feel the loneliness of living so totally alone for the first time in my entire life and really don't know what to do.

Without a work in a company it is hard for me to make new social relationships and I don't know where to start.

Any suggestions or ideas? How did/do you fight loneliness? (NB at least for the next 6 weeks I can't move from this city for economical reasons)
If I am correct, the article suggests a deliberate bug that I s attackers view information that can be used as a backdoor. Does this mean to abandon BTSync completely?
Hello, I wrote this handy little library for testing purposes: you can extract the vdom from a React
component and test it against a JSON with simple tools like assert.deepEqual() and without a real DOM.
The extracted vdom has the following type definition:

type Node = {
tag: string,
attrs: object<name, value>,
children: undefined | null | Node | Array<Node>
}

If your component handle a private state, you can inject a state to test different configurations.

This is an example of massive use in a form generation library:

Hope it can help you too.
I have been learning a bit of Haskell on the side recently just for the thrill of learning something completely different to the way I'm used to writing code.

My two cents so far is that using Haskell for "Real World" applications is not practical (at least in my experience), but by writing small applications in Haskell you learn a lot, it changes how you think. In my opinion, learning Haskell makes you a better programmer.

That's what people asked last time when, if I remember correctly, the FBI was selling off some of the Silk Road coins. Nothing really happened, maybe a few percent drop, but that happens every day so I'm not even sure that was due to the sell.
Netflix seems to be recruiting for the search side of things (so says the Netflix recruiter in my inbox), so at least they know that they need to fix that part. :/
Yeah, I think this mission was worthy of a cutting edge imaging solution though!

As far as transmission windows, well we had download-continuation browser solutions back then.

Seriously, not to say it's that simple, but this mission solved much harder problems than imaging would seem to pose.

Really would be interested in knowing how the imgaging solution selection process went and what the key drivers were.
The craft had a small thruster on its top side to gently push it into the surface of the comet, but this seems to have been faulty and couldn't be primed prior to Philae's separation. It sounds like the sort of equipment that might have mitigated such a bounce!
I can superficially claim some familiarity with each of PHP, C, C++, Java, VB.NET, Delphi, Perl, Python, HTML(5), CSS(3), Node.js, Javascript, jQuery, Fabric.js, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS-SQL, sqlite, XML, and webserver administration (Apache HTTP Server and nginx).

In terms of real experience (i.e. I've finished a project in this language), the list narrows down to HTML/CSS, Javascript (plain and with jQuery), PHP, Java, C, and the SQLs listed above.

But if any degree of "expertise" is required, I'm only comfortable claiming that I have the requisite experience and environment familiarity with PHP projects (at least, in terms of server-side programming languages).

I could easily call myself much more than a PHP developer (and if my experience with some other devs has been any indication, get away with it!), but I'm hesitant to do so until they feel natural to build projects in.
