I had to look up the Secret Service because I thought it was strange that the President's bodyguards would be interested in a suspected counterfeiter. Apparently their protection role was introduced after their primary mission, which is fighting financial crime. Weird.

>WAY too much CSS to do something like that. I'm not sure what the fix is though? A JS library to generate the CSS animation with a saner syntax (I realise CSS probably needs all of that stuff to be extendable but it's a massive amount of code for something that should be easier to accomplish IMHO).

The most logical solution would be the way we extend CSS syntax today - preprocessors like LESS and SASS. You don't need to render the valid CSS clientside, you can just compile it into CSS before you deploy it.

This post is mostly focused on migrating application instances. I wonder what's the best step-by-step way to move database from Heroku/EY/etc provider to Amazon .

And is it possible to first migrate app instances that would for some time use Heroku DB and then migrate the DB itself? Instead of doing everything in one big step?

> The user filed a complaint with Twitter that the tweet contained private information about him.

Well, if that is the case, I don't see nothing wrong with the ban. Everyone has a right to privacy, regardless of their political views, so Twitter's decision to temporary suspension is certainly the right one.
But this "people upvote stuff they agree with" is also leads to, upvoted and visible ones (which are over the fold) are mostly agreed with stuff. So general public mostly agrees with that.
Another advantage would be better feedback for the downvoted. Don't knowing why I was downvoted routinely drives me nuts.
I almost objected, but you're right. The human has finite time with which to calculate. The predictor can easily be assumed to have more time. There's no problem calculating if a program will halt in finite time.

I wondered the same the other day. Best explanation I could come up with is that an explanatory comment would expose the downvoter to being downvoted (in retaliation or otherwise).
Ask HN: How do I start with implementing a probabilistic parser?
I have got the inspiration for this from the probabilistic parser from wit.ai. It is available on GitHub, wit.ai/duckling[1].

It parses natural language having date/time components into a timestamp structured object.

For example, the phrase "this christmas morning" gets transformed into

"From Friday, 25 December 2015 at 4:00:00 +0000 (UTC) to Friday, 25 December 2015 at 12:00:00 +0000 (UTC)"

I have a similar idea in my mind and I want to try it out. It will also do the same thing, parsing some natural language syntax subset to some structured data objects.

Where should I start from? Any great resources will work for me; blogs, books, papers etc.

> If embarrassing people was a crime, the ex-partners who gave him the photos would be charged too.

It is a crime (disorderly conduct). See California Penal Code 647(j)(4). California Senate Bill No. 1255 made this into law.

> Any person who intentionally distributes the image of the intimate body part ... under circumstances in which the persons agree or understand that the image shall remain private, the person distributing the image knows or should know that distribution of the image will cause serious emotional distress, and the person depicted suffers that distress.

Convictions for the people who gave him the photos probably won't be news.
Actually it provides a very nice image of the pad, I though it was more like a checkbook, but it's 4 bills (cut from a big sheet) with the topmost glued lengthwise (and they probably added perforations to make it easy to tear)

I wonder what's the padding between the notes, not too big I guess

This is pretty un-Applish video but after watching it I'm now thinking may be I would have some use for this... Including second button in watch doesn't seem to make any sense whatsoever consider traditional minimalism Apple wants to achieve. I also love how every video has so far avoided to showing how to do text entry in case dictation isn't working well.
It's already explaind by Woz.

He collected the money into his account. So that $7500 is taxable as income. He lost nearly half of it now.

(Balance=savings + 7500 - 7500/2 tax)

Then he transfered $7500 to his daughters account. Up to here, He lost ~7500/2 to taxes.

(Balance=savings - 7500/2 tax)

And this transfer process is also taxable as a inheritance/gift payment. Another tax paid by his savings.

(Balance=savings - 7500/2 tax - 7500/2 gift tax)

Happy government, Happy daughter, neutral Woz :)
dang, thank you, but it's okay. I don't feel offended, and I'd rather let this thread run its course, but if you do want to stop the comments I don't mind.

FWIW, I've admired how you've responded with consideration and honesty to feedback elsewhere in the comments, clearly it's a contentious issue but I believe the thread has been more productive as a result of your approach.
Hello!

I am 16 years old guy from Donetsk, Ukraine. Yep, we have war here.

To collect payments now you have to create personal website and integrate api there or send your card/PayPal number to customer.

I am working on service, where regular people can create a payment form in a click and get simple link to it. Collect donations, sell stuff in social networks or send invoices right to customer. Do everything you want with it.

I've created prototype for tests and feedback. Feel free to try it! persollo.com
I have an idea related to this guideline.

Good tools already exist to do automated sentiment analysis. It would be extremely interesting to build forum software for HN that detects when a commenter is going too far with negativity and then gently guides that person to tone it down a bit while the comment is still being composed.

Maybe a few gentle prompts at the right moment is all it really takes.
Why? Your opinion is worth nothing of itself; the reasons for your opinion are a different matter. But here you give none so why comment?
I believe framing the discussion as an honest dialectic will appeal more broadly to people who may not share the same beliefs as you and I.
I'd argue that the main point of collapsible (not pre-collapsed) threads is to support what you're saying. When a comment spawns several pages of discussion on a topic you're not interested it, collapsing it would let you go directly to the next comment you are interested in, surely?

Right now, for me at least I often just scroll down to the next top-level comment because it's a bother to find the end of a comment tree that started several indentations in.
ok, fair enough, I did say that. I guess my point is that the word is too broad and that isn't how I meant it.

They're not important enough in my life for me to spend my time worrying about. Or maybe I should say I don't get emotionally involved in anything they say at that point. They live in whatever bubble they live in and it has nothing to do with me.

And that some might consider it respect that I simply let them have whatever opinion they want.
Why would I want the lender to charge me zero interest? I know that she can't do that, particularly if I know I'm a risky borrower.

I want a rate that is reasonable to the risk, because if I insist on a lower rate, I won't be able to borrow at all.
> The creators of Go seem to think that simplicity is achieved by removing everything that isn't totally necessary.

Not really. That path leads to a Forth, a Scheme, a Smalltalk.

There are plenty of things which are not necessary in Go. Many of them are eminently convenient, but could be libraried with generics: most of the built-in magically generic-even-though-the-language-doesn't-have-generic collections for a start. the special-cased multiple return values, the magical builtin functions (which generally exist as support for the aforementioned magical collections).

I've read it before, Go is not simple, it's simplistic. A simple language would by necessity give a lot of power to the developer, that's not what Go does.

There's a difficult balance to strike of course, get too simple and you end up with turing tarpit, and simple languages may make it harder to create cohesive communities. Still, calling Go simple is an insult to simple languages.
I mostly read HN, but my understanding is in some counties of the US, it's a regular occurrence that poker games at home with money involved are considered contraband and a SWAT team comes and kills the dog (Don't make fun of the detail - The dog story is here because it's the only way to get public emotion about it, therefore newspapers report dog stories first). The SWAT team could even mistake the address and there are no reimbursements for damages, even if no illegal activity was carried. Obviously we only hear about the few worst cases.

Therefore would it be a stretch to imagine that any non-high-profile citizen carrying a pad of $2 bills could be suspected of illegal activities? To avoid a "SWAT inspection" don't you have to be either Steve Wozniak or in the right neighborhoods of US?
I'm not an expert, but doesn't Diaspora roughly offer these services? Even the search mentioned below seems to work reasonably (although maybe they're cheating somehow and it's still a little bit centralised -- again, i'm not clued up).
What else do you think is happening under the hood when you use a CM tool like, say, Ansible? Ansible translates your configuration to small Python scripts, uploads them to the remote host and runs them.

What I'd like to see is a "script dump" output that still lets you create your yml configuration but converts it into shell scripts that you can call from your Dockerfile without any dependencies.

Of course, now you have an additional build step... and what could you use to tie everything together? make/make build :)
"Negativity isn't the problem--gratuitous negativity is. By that we mean negativity that adds nothing of substance to a comment".

You obviously read this or you wouldn't comment. So can you explain how there's anything remiss about this statement?

I actually trust Docker Hub more compared to a private registry setup... had so many hard to debug EOF errors, registry container crashes, etc.

But the Docker Hub is also a single point of failure, so now I'm considering just having our CI service dump (docker save) the container build to a tarfile and send it to S3, then having the destination host download it and run docker load.

Docker's handling of layers is excruciatingly slow, anyway.
i have a makefile/make system that uses gnu make macros;

(here http://mosermichael.github.io/cstuff/all/projects/2011/06/17... )

this saves you from repeating the same make constructs many times over, in the following example you do a static library and executable.

1: TOPDIR=../..
2:
3: # - declare build targets. (built with make)
4: TARGETS:=shlib slibuser
5:
6: # - slib target is a static library -
7: shlib_TYPE=lib
8: shlib_SRC=slib.c
9:
10:
11: # - slibuser target is a executable using slib -
12: slibuser_TYPE=exe
13: slibuser_SRC=slibuser.c slibuser2.c slibuser3.c
14: slibuser_LIBS=shlib
15:
16: include $(TOPDIR)/rules.make

"Nouvelle Droite".
I have been in Beirut for many years now and I am sure that there will be many responses to this post that will be making alot of noise about how beirut has nothing so allow me to add the following:

1- I agree that Internet is quite problamatic for the country but it is not insurmountable with a bit of planning, but that means spending on energy on something you should not.

2- The companies mentioned (like most startups in the region) start out by copying business ideas and models from other places. That does not mean they are not working on some interesting things but the truth is most are not focused on this. Some companies that get no light are working on some really interesting things such as better power management, hydroponics, controllers for elevators, telecom infrastructure, bitcoin etc. These are few and in between but they do exist. Also I dont think focus on Arabic internationalization is an easy manner it might not be as difficult as saying chinese internalization (baidu anyone) but still.

Allow me to give my opinon on the problems of the community:

a- High Cost of living and few opportunities for second chances: Beirut is not a cheap city by any measure and the tech scene is very small (very few big companies) what this translates too is that talent of any kind (business or engineering) is reluctant to do startups where risk of failure is high since they are not sure they are able to pay the bills if it flunks and they cant land a job

b- Too small a market: Needless to say Lebanon and the region is a small market more importantly it is a small market of early adopters so it is very difficult to make a quick experimentation of the viability of ideas

c- Shortage of talent: It is no secret that most talent leaves the country mostly because salaries outside are way more then they can find in the country. Also the society is so small that anyone who stays is bound to know and be compared to someone of similar (or less) skill and making 5 times the salary and that tends to be emotionally tasking and propagates the cycle.

d- Lack in belief in quality from the region: There is a problem region wise where everyone seems convinced that anything coming from Europe, Japan and North America is of higher quality then things coming from the region. Accordingly all companies in the region without connection to outside are short-changed decreasing their chance of success.

e- Extreme selection bias: Everyone in the eco-system from VCs, Angels (the few that exist) and Enterpreneurs judge success and returns based on what is happening with the most successful silicon valley companies and therefore they demand same results claiming same hurdles. This is simply not true. The problems are different and they require a different solution.

Finally let me say Beirut is not ideal I know I have had (and continue to have) my crisis of faith in the matter but the potential does exist. We face similar problems to many upcoming tech communities and then some and we sure can achieve with more constructive discussions which hopefully such a discussion will start.

I agree that downvoting is overused, but I don't see it in the guidelines that it should be used only for guideline violations and if that would be true than what is the comment flagging should be used for? Or are they the same? And why is there two ways to mark a comment as negative (downvote and flag) and only one as positive (upvote)?

Never mind that economics still insist on modeling as if the system will auto-balance (equilibrium) if left alone.

A notion that just about every other science, that is not out there in the lala land of social sciences, have since replaced with dynamic modeling.

They insist that debt is just a exchange between individuals, with banks just sitting there passing the baskets back and forth.

What I like to tell people is this:

If you have to tell me what my position/argument/opinion is, chances are you're involved in a strawman.

In particular, I responded to someone complaining about people who dismiss others easily. I responded by stating I dismiss people quickly and will continue to do so and I explained why.

A few back and forths later and here you are telling me I'm arguing that HN should "ignore abuse and snark".

For those who are maybe a bit more middle of the road in these types of conversations. THIS is why I'm so quick to dismiss. I could respond back with "nuhuh, that isn't what I said" and let this stupid conversation devolve into a time wasting exercise in futility.

Or I could recognize that vacri didn't like something I said or the way I said it and came into the interaction with a negativity towards me such that he chose to do exactly what this thread initially recommended people do, which is to interpret things charitably.

And it is for this reason that I'm going to simply dismiss vacri as too biased and emotionally clouded to spend time on.

here is a concrete example of how and why I dismiss people. In case it wasn't clear to anyone.

I am likely to get ripped a new one, but i have the impression that US trading was not just aimed directly at Cuba but also at any entity found to be trading with Cuba.

Meaning that if you traded with Cuba, and then attempted to trade with USA, and USA found out about your Cuba trading, it was pretty much game over.

So nobody trades with Cuba for fear of being banned from the US market.

This one video always comes up in F-35 discussions. I think you have to take his criticisms with a grain of salt. Of course he thinks the F-16 is better - it would have been better than anything that wasn't just like the F-16 with better performance.

Nobody really knows just how much of an advantage stealth technology provides in the real world. It's going to take a few skirmishes with other top-of-the-line aircraft flown by well-trained pilots before anyone can say it's a failure from a performance perspective.

The one place you point to any sort of certain failure is cost. The F-22 was supposed to be the high performance, high end, high cost plane and the F-35 was going to be the high volume, low cost plane to fill in the numbers. Just like the F-15/F-16 pair. Clearly the F-35 is too expensive to qualify as low cost anything, and the more expensive it gets the fewer they're going to sell, which sets off a sort of price spiral.
