Loved shopping at Campmor growing up, but definitely appreciate this concept. Scouting trips were typically once a year, but need reduced over time as did camping trips.

May also want to check out growth opportunities with other charities. Used to participate in an annual event called Kayak for a Cause with a couple of hundred people. 85% of them needed a kayak for one day... not exactly something everyone is going to purchase.

Good luck!
A bit too early to drop a lot of details in public, but feel free to write me (mathias@netlify.com) and I'll be happy to share more details.

We want to solve the issue of having non technical content editors when working with static site generators, without having to rely on an external content-store (ie. content should still just be flat text files in your repository).

Right now the workflow for developers is amazing with modern static site generators. We want to make sure it's great for content-editors as well.
The joke is on all the people who thought it wasn't serious.
Hi, I'm Eric - I'm putting together the front-end team kpop mentioned.

If you're UI focused, you'll get to build on a shiny new AngularJS codebase, using D3 to visualize data. Much of the heavy lifting is done on a Node server in the middle tier, and we have a pretty robust API which you can inspect at http://developer.messagebus.com/. Previous experience with our stack isn't required if you're excited to learn something new!

Obligatory perks list: competitive compensation, nice offices in the SoMa district of San Francisco, "whatever you need" equipment and time off, plus a strong culture of sharing expertise (ask us about Message Bus University). Oh, and a technical CEO (!!!).

Let's talk. Contact jobs@messagebus.com and one of us will get back to you soon!
Domains have always been a business, otherwise .com domains would be free, the fact that the opening bid is 185k reflects even more that domains are a business.

You can still get a good 2nd level domain for way less than 185k, just look for it.

Also, depending on your country, some domains are free, for ex., in my country .edu.mx is free for schools, and .gob.mx is free for government.

The free .tk domains also exist, because the government of Tokelau Islands found better to use the TLD as tourism advertisement.

At the end of the day, the gTLDs are a good thing, because the value of domains like sex.com won't be $12 million anymore, you can get sex.<anythingelse> for way less.
Author here,

The article discusses applying PageRank to help decide how a web crawler should discover new content. While this article does not touch on how URX evaluates search quality, I can promise it's a metric we care deeply about. One of the slogans on our home page "Page content + user context = relevance".

Happy to answer any questions.

I would disagree with FirefoxOS, as you can root the device it runs on without doing hardware modifications, unlike ChromeOS.

That being said, consumer devices need to be able to pass a sort of "slave test"; if your device can't hook up to a printer/scanner, or other peripherals, it is a device meant to enslave you in a digital jail.

Mozilla seems to be the best citizen thus far when it comes to user rights, and I wouldn't expect that stance to change much due to a different formfactor. this is still very much the same project JWZ founded.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's a bold statement, but it's my personal opinion and I stand by it. You're free to disagree, but we would have never even considered another accelerator in our position.

Sometimes it's better to make promises and run out of inventory than not make promises and not run out of inventory.

Promising unlimited internet certainly never put most ISPs out of business, and having a business so wildly successful that you're out of stock is a great way to attract investment.
I don't think that's a "better argument". I think it's a second, also good, argument that I didn't repeat because it's been mentioned by several other people.

Your argument is about protecting trivial passwords. It's quite common for people to independently come up with the same crappy passwords - the adobe "crossword puzzle" leak was a particularly interesting example of that.

My argument is about protecting moderately good passwords. If you use, for example, PBKDF2 with a fixed salt and have a million users, an attacker can try close to a million times as many passwords vs random salts.

You can still prioritize cracking with salted passwords in many cases. Say you had a dump of hashes form hackernews, and they were bcrypted with random salts. You'd go after the admin accounts first, then the well known accounts with a lot of influence, then everybody else.
Only for secret admin tools :D
That was my point. There's no way to force Comcast to serve them, but they could have gotten out of the purchase.

Perhaps because in OS X I (mostly -- about on par with Linux) install software from repositories curated by people that I trust (Apple, Homebrew), and then I don't have to put up with Linux.
The weather guy on one of our TV stations in Los Angeles is Dallas Raines. I guess he is working in the wrong city, though.
1) This is part of our big design UX/UI challenge and we're still thinking about how to fix it. So this could be part of it. Thanks for the suggestion!

2) This one is hard. Ultimately we have a pay what you want model, so I worry that having suggested prices up front turn people away before they get to the final page and realize it's pay what you want. Will test further

3) There's no deposit because we want as a side goal to not hinder access, and deposits do that (especially for our gear, since it can be quite high). That said if you return something in bad condition, you are liable for repair and/or replacement cost, depending on how bad it is. We will have BIG warnings up for Burning Man =) (and may do deposits then...) Generally speaking for hygiene, all of our gear that you might actually have an "inner" part of your body up against is well shielded. For example: sleeping bags we have liners that we can wash. For snowsports gloves, we only carry the kinds that have liners and outer layers.

4) We actually include this whenever you rent something that needs it! For example, the grill has a propane, the headlamps have batteries

5) Yes definitely! We want to start with bigger ticket items first and then hopefully expand to lots of other goods even in other categories. Right now these items are too "cheap" for many people to consider renting. As in, they'll feel awkward renting it.

6) Like... free jerky for every rental? We do surprise some customers randomly with free chocolate =) But jerky might be too limiting since there might be vegetarians. (I guess, sorry vegans about the chocolate)

That sounds like a very niche case, probably not worth solving. That said, the JWT lib could allow you to specify one or more fallback algorithms in case the default one fails to validate.

If you're switching off an algorithm, you're probably doing it because it's been broken. And, if it's broken, you won't use it anyway.

I can only find stats on carbon footprints. Somewhat surprisingly, California does very well on this statistic, despite its suburbs: it's just behind New York.

So at least for carbon footprints, those don't necessarily seem to be linked to density.

I couldn't find anything on energy footprint though.
What I don't understand (truly--I'm a curious neophyte here) is why a random number would be better than salting with, say, their username.

If the assumption is that the random number is known, per both guidelines that only the user-given secret can be assumed secret and that the article says it could conceivably be stored plaintext, isn't it effectively equivalent to just another username?
I'm old enough to remember when people would drop area codes. Long distance was expensive so 95% of the numbers you'd call were local. That being the default context, people would drop the area code in most local situations. There's plenty of archival newspaper ads that demonstrate this.

With cell phones and unlimited nationwide calling plans, it's more common to find an assortment of area codes in contact lists these days. What you're describing is not actually a default context. It's just your personal area code. The person next to you might very well have a different one.

Bill Harris Sioux Falls, SD 56 minutes ago
As a long-time researcher in omega-3s, I've watched the fish oil rollercoaster since the mid 1980s. This most recent posting by O'Connor continues the trend. The best meta-analysis (grand summary of many studies) published to date was from Rizos et al. in JAMA 2012;308:1024-1033). They concluded that fish oil capsules offer “no benefit” for heart patients. Unfortunately, Rizos used a highly controversial statistical maneuver. In their actual data (Fig 2) there was a highly statistically significant reduction in cardiac death associated with fish oil use (p<0.01 for the stat-saavy). So fish oils DID reduce risk for cardiac death. Why the "no effect" conclusion? Rizos et al. decided to set the statistical bar higher than I’ve ever seen it in meta-analyses. They defined a significant p-value as <0.006, instead of the universally accepted p<0.05. This trick changed a positive finding into a negative one and generated a media storm of "fish oils don't work." More recent meta-analyses (Chowdhury et al. Ann Intern Med 2014;160:398-406) reported that higher dietary intakes AND higher blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids were both significantly linked to reduced risk for heart disease. The problems with the recent fish oil studies are legion, and include using a low dose for a short period of time in older, already-ill patients who are also being treated with up to 5 heart medicines. In this setting it’s nearly impossible to show a benefit. With 0 risk, I still recommend fish oil.
I think you need to show how it integrates with Google Calendar. Lots of screenshots of your app, but no mention of what benefits are gained by integrating with gcal.

Also, do some research on pricing models; I think some improvement could be made there; maybe a mid tier, ~8-10/mo.
There's a difference between making a bold statement and making a statement based solely on confirmation bias.
SEEKING WORK - Atlanta, GA - Remote (Remote preferred)

I'm a freelancer who can do everything from web development with Rails and JavaScript to embedded systems, and network programming in C.

I've been building websites for a decade. I can do front end development using the latest JavaScript Frameworks, CSS3, and HTML5--while on the back end I specialize in building RESTFUL APIs with Rails or Go. I've worked on content management systems, e-commerce sites, shopping cart integration, social media platforms, and user generated content systems.

For the last 3 years, I've also been doing embedded, systems, and network programming for a startup I founded (http://toasty24.com).

Relax. It's not pedantry. If I click on a link titled "Memory leak in Ruby" I'm concerned the GC has a problem and I should avoid some particular method call or something else because the GC is currently having trouble collecting something in particular. That would be a memory leak.

The Full Article is talking about handing over data with references to live objects to some library that doesn't let go of those references, it seems. That is a space leak and can and will happen anywhere in any language regardless of whether you're using a perfect GC or not.

So the difference is this:

Ruby has a memory leak -> not my fault, I'll just stop using the offending method that leaks memory, thanks article!

Someone caused ruby to space leak -> duh, it's your fault, no need to write an article about it, you should be letting your references be GC'ed if you don't need them anymore, learn that memory is a scarce resource, etc.

Totally different problems. I was very confused reading the comments here because people are afraid of being called a pedant. Folks, our trade comes with a jargon. If you don't learn it you won't know what you don't know.

Saying simply "unneeded memory is not being reclaimed" is not constructive. Why is it not being reclaimed? Because the reason matters to programmers, we invented different names for those occurrences.
No, it's not, because choosing a proper KDF will make your passwords take years to crack, while choosing a standard digest with a salt will turn the time from fractions of a second to days.

The only thing that matters is whether or not your password database ends up on a message board somewhere, not about how you feel about hashing.

There is a while industry of Pay Per View (PPV) ad networks that basically operate this way. A few that come to mind: Trafficvance, LeadImpact, Media Traffic and DirectCPV.

I don't know where Trafficvance gets their traffic but it seems to be pop-over ads probably from some installed software. DirectCPV seems to be interstitial ads that the sites actually choose to use (think big news sites with an ad before you read the article). Most of them seem to be spyware/crapware driven. Those are the only two I've worked with in the past so I can't speak on the others.

Totally fair and we're working on it. I think part of the challenge for us is that we're not really an e-commerce business in the traditional sense. And so, while we may want to preserve some of those elements (pricing, pop up messages, etc.), we're also trying to do it in the context of optimizing for, very fast requests (no sign up, no sign in, <60 seconds to request something... last minute business and all), pay what you want model, etc.

If you don't mind, I'd like to ask, do you think having customer testimonials eases some of your fears of clunkiness? Or do you tend to think, well anyone can "make up" a testimonial? I ask because what you're pointing out is a very real concern of mine. Once people have tried our service, they LOVE it (we have near perfect 10s on NPS across the board), but there is a bit of hesitancy at the beginning, which could be caused by many different factors I'm trying to isolate.

Custora (YC W11) - http://www.custora.com - New York, NY - Engineering and Data Science

Marketing used to be an exercise in one-to-many communication: billboards, magazine ads, and - more recently - having a powerful social media presence. At Custora, we’re helping to turn this model on its head, using mountains of data to help our customers direct the right campaigns to the right users rather than blasting the same message to the largest audience possible.

We're growing quickly and looking to fill positions from Front-End Engineering to Data Science. We're analyzing data for well over 500,000,000 end customers, and this number is growing fast. We compute sophisticated statistics on the fly, and building a marketing experimentation platform that's usable by the entire marketing team, and we need your help to build new statistical models, build the infrastructure to run those models, and to develop creative and intuitive ways of presenting our findings to our users.

Our job postings are at https://www.custora.com/careers. I'm more than happy to answer any questions and tell you more about us, so feel free to reach out to me at martin@custora.com.
With Microsoft having that large a share of the PC market this would result in anti-trust lawsuits.
