I'm going to be selling a B2B SaaS. Rather than be hyper-specific, I'm wondering if there's a list of highest conversion and most wanted enterprise features to sell?

If support is common amongst enterprise tiers, I'm sure there are some other things as well.
Are you talking about flash embedded in the mcu, or separate flash chips? The mcu can usually reflash itself, modulo fuses, but I can't recall having seen a standalone flash chip which lacked a write protect (or write-enable) pin. A physical toggle switch on that line seems like a solid protection against NSA style firmware hacking.
You should look into PCP.

> The concept is to replace the convoluted welfare systems that has been built up incrementally over decades with a simple monthly payment straight into people's accounts. In a country that is suffering from high unemployment and a significant shortfall in domestic demand as a consequence, such a scheme could (in theory) offer a backstop for Greek demand. It would provide individuals with the confidence of a future income and alleviate part of the "humanitarian crisis" currently being suffered in Greece.

I'm looking forward to it, Greece might be the perfect place to test out basic income. If they find a feasible implementation and it works, Yanis Varoufakis is going to trigger the biggest economy revolution in decades.

This is problematic since, for example, Chrome 64-bit isn't yet the default release build.

Surprisingly enough, there isn't even an official supported build of Firefox 64-bit for Windows. Coupled with the Chrome issue you mentioned, I'll bet that at least 80% of users out there aren't using a 64-bit browser.

It would be unreasonable to have designed a generics implementation into Go 1 that did not cover the builtin polymorphic map, slice, and append. A simple set of orthogonal features is an important principle in Go.

For these, performance is most certainly critical.
Just because you have a simple UI doesn't mean the code underneath isn't complex.

Technically, you can have source code that's mind boggling bloated and complex for something as simple as doing addition.

In the end, the selection mechanism that evolution uses for natural selection is just survivability. Bloated, ugly code doesn't affect survivability if it all ends up working correctly.
Totally agree; I think the project is absolutely brilliant and a perfect idea, wonderfully executed, but the final images have a "fake" look that just kills them.

Which is really what Firefox needs to do as well. This is one of my main pain points as a Firefox Extension developer and a turn off for most I know. Rather than keeping people wait for 15 or so days for approving their add-ons, they should rather improve their automatic code checking tools as much as they can, and stop at that (and have a better extension flagging system).

The problem with current system is more if our add-ons are based on a specific website like mine. When that website changes, it breaks my add-on and I upload the fix immediately. But Firefox takes days to approve it, making my add-on look bad in public.

Is the idea that you have a second battery and swap them out or are they going to have a charging stand you put it on the charge at night time?
AFAICT Origami is still a collection of plugins for Quartz Composer, a graphics tool by Apple that's included with Xcode.

Quartz Composer is effectively deprecated: no updates since 2011, not available in iOS, no Retina support. Building new products on it is not a viable long-term solution, so I wonder if Facebook plans to build a replacement.

(Incidentally, if someone wants to make a new Quartz Composer work-a-like, I have a bunch of potentially suitable code that I could share with an open source license... I made a node-based graphics app called PixelConduit whose code I was planning to release but never got around to: http://pixelconduit.com -- it could make a solid base for a QC-style tool.)

NASA's budget is one half of one percent of the US budget. Most people do not know this.

- thirdparty authentication (e.g. their LDAP/Active directory), or other user management, multi-user setups, ability for an admin to wipe all data of a employee that leaft

- on premises installation

- everything in their brand colors, even if it's an internal tool
We hardly spend anything on space exploration. Not to mention it has a lot of benefits and carryover to the rest of the economy. If we have to make cuts, there are many other places we can target instead of the .5% of the federal budget to NASA.
How to Grow into a Million Dollar ECommerce Business
Well put. Of voters that have long term vision, I can't see them wanting space exploration over many better investments. We have so many huge problems to deal with that need funds before space exploration and its relatively small chance of payback for the average voter. Especially when it's all borrowed money.
Space has never been a lucrative enterprise in the U.S., though, unless you were a senior executive at one of the few large contractors. Even in the Apollo era, I'm pretty sure bankers and lawyers tended to make more money than NASA engineers.

I agree with you about the essential importance of education and a strong economy. I also agree with you that China see space achievements as a good way (among many) to express its desire for leadership.

But China lags significantly behind the U.S. in areas of education, economy, and freedom of expression. The latter is important because it is an essential ingredient for long-term innovation.

I think we'll see China do some great things in the near term, perhaps even put people back on the moon. Americans will be freaked if that happens. (I'm sad to say--I wish people would take a broader view of humanity, but oh well.)

But in the long run I think we'll be doing big things in space too. It just looks shitty now because we're between big launch systems.

Pyston 0.3: Self-hosting Sufficiency
"Rent controls don't work"

I live in the UK and I look at a country like Germany that has much stricter rental laws than the UK (including rent control policies) and I see a superior system. It seems that tenants in Germany enjoy much better security of tenure as well as protection against rapid or unfair rent rises. So it seems that rent controls can work.

What's partly happening in London is that the housing market is overun by buy-to-let landlords and "property investors". They are often chasing the same properties as first-time buyers, adding to the rise in house prices. If buy-to-let activity was curtailed (for example by removing certain tax advantages), it might dampen some of the pressure on house prices. (However, it's highly unlikely to be regulated more tightly given that many of our MPs have second or third properties).

Strong rental laws (including rent control) might actually help deter the worst type of property investor or buy-to-let owner: put off by the responsibility to comply with such laws. It doesn't mean that someone can't make money from property if that's want they want to pursue. But rent control laws send out an important message to wider society: that housing can't be treated as just a pure profit-making exercise. It has a social component that simply cannot be ignored.

It's a phone accessory. It lets you see and respond to things like SMS messages, caller ID, calendar reminders, etc. without taking your phone out of your pocket.

Kind of a small thing, but actually pretty handy when you're walking around or in a meeting or other places where glancing at your wrist is easier or less intrusive than using your phone.

There are still several rebreather failure modes due to user error or equipment failure which can kill the user and won't necessarily be detectable by a self test. So although rebreathers can be made somewhat safer they will never be as safe as open circuit for sport diving. At least with OC gear, if anything goes wrong the problem is hard to miss and the solution is always simple.
Ask HN: How to distribute wildcard subdomains to different servers
I have a list of subdomains pointing to one server (1.2.3.4) right now.

1001.example.com
1002.example.com
1003.example.com
1004.example.com
1005.example.com
1006.example.com

I want to run the next set of subdomains on a different server (9.8.7.6):

2001.example.com
2002.example.com
2003.example.com
2004.example.com
2005.example.com
2006.example.com

I don't want configure each individual subdomain. I'd rather do configuration for a range, like:

[1000-1999].example.com => 1.2.3.4
[2000-2999].example.com => 9.8.7.6
[3000-3999].example.com => 2.4.6.8

I tried to search for answers to this problem but I'm not even sure for what to search. Has anyone done this kind of thing?

> by cutting down the number of games from 162 to 100

Since coming to North America I've always felt one of the problems with Baseball and Hockey is they just play too many games, so no game is significant enough. When your team loses to a certain team, you don't care enough because you know they'll play them multiple times more.

Baseball is 162, Hockey is 82 games in "regular season"

NFL is only 16 games, which to me, makes it much more exciting because each win or loss really matters, and as a spectator I actually care.
The problem as with reducing the number of games for any sport always comes down to money. Reducing a season by 62 games for each team is a huge loss in revenues which owners will never go along with, especially owners of the highest grossing teams like the Yankees, Red Sox and Giants.

I like the idea of off-setting that with more teams in the playoffs, but that would be the biggest hurdle to climb in terms of reducing the number of games in a season. You could argue that maybe the players union could strike, citing to grueling of a season, but their compensation is directly tied to revenues, so they'd be opposed to a reduction in games as well.

Can Tracking Employees Improve Business? MIT Startup Humanyze Says Yes
I love the idea. When asking for medical advice online, people often implore you to go see a doctor and stop asking people on the Internet. Unfortunately I think that's allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good. Doctors have limited time and rarely want to spend a lot of it with you as it is. There needs to be a cheaper alternative to free them up.

Granted the focus here is a little different. It's specifically tailored for people who have already asked a doctor and are at their wit's end. But I think the same principle applies to more mundane situations. Most of the time when I message my doctor with something I'm worried about, they call me in just to ask me some questions they could have asked me over the phone and then tell me I'm probably okay.
Vivado is even more heavily dependent on Tcl as they've merged all the separate tools into one application guided solely by Tcl commands. It feels much more like Synopsys Design Compiler which also migrated from its homebrew scripting language to Tcl a few years ago.

Why we built illuminate and where we think APM is going next
Yes, but font hinting takes advantage of the specific subpixel layout of your LCD (e.g is the order RGB left-to-right, top-to-bottom, two greens and forming a square, etc). If you take a screenshot and look at it on another monitor, it's quite possible for it to look awful because your RGB subpixel layout and the source differ.

I'll remain skeptical about OMB's ability to know about all the datasets from federal agencies, because as you said, there is a wealth of government data that is "public" but obscure.

Another example is the Department of Defense's budget justification data. The PDF documents that go into the annual President's budget are made public and are easily found on agency websites. They look like this:

http://www.saffm.hq.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-150130-...

What the public would have no way of knowing, though, is that attached to those documents are files with the extension of *.zzz. Those are really zip files, but need to be renamed because DoD computer systems tend to view anything with a zip extension as toxic. Inside those zip files are the xml files used to create the PDF document. The data is both clean and comprehensive.

I'm writing a set of scrapers that will download the publicly available PDF files and extract the XML, so if someone wanted to import them into their own database for querying, they could. I really wish that weren't necessary, though.

Edit: I should mention that those xml attachments only exist for the Procurement and RDT&E budgets, which account for about a third of total DoD spending.

It's worth noting that the formal verification method brought to light the root cause, where prior attempts at fixing this bug in TimSort had merely made it less common.

ISAAC ASIMOV: A lifetime of learning
Do you think it's worse than WebMD? The problem with things like that is that (as it seems to me) they don't give you realistic answers, they give you "cover your ass" worst-case answers. That's why it triggers so much panic (speaking as someone roughly in the profile you describe). In a situation where you're actually talking to someone like on this site, perhaps there's hope that they give you realistic answers.

That said I agree that there is a potential problem, and there ought to be a good resource that gives you a good sense of what is a "reasonable" amount of worry. I'm not sure how that could be structured though, especially with the potential legal issues.

There actually already is a rule on this, the pitcher has to release the ball within 12 seconds of receiving the ball, as long as the batter is ready to receive the pitch. It's just never enforced. But there has been a lot of talk about possibly starting to enforce this rule, primarily using a visible clock/timer in games - though I think MLB were talking about changing from 12 to 20 seconds if they do start enforcing it.
