"Worstest" seems to be a morphological problem. "Most least" could be permissible, if somewhat exotic sounding, I think, if "least" is read with its adjectival meaning―"used in names of very small animals and plants, e.g., least shrew"―so eg. most least shrew. "So smallest" doesn't work with any other superlative ("most reddest") that I can imagine off the top of my head. And "brick ancient barn" is an unusual order but not ungrammatical, though it is interesting. (It sounds more like listing adjectives, ie. I'd read a larger pause after "brick" and stress on "ancient", than the other order. MATERIAL AGE NOUN seems to read awkwardly.)
HN title currently reads: "To save lives, SF will close Market St. from 3rd-8th street to private vehicles." Article title reads: "Despite Opposition From Uber, SFMTA Approves Safer Market Street Plan."

HN title appears to be false: the Safer Market Street plan will prevent turns onto Market St. but says nothing about drivers continuing straight on.
A product hunt type website but for adding features to current app/websites. User can thumbs up or down a feature request, and can also thumb-up a request with some small money tagged to it. The money collected will go to a non profit.
Strangely enough, that's exactly what Piketty was talking about in a recent interview with the digital edition of Le Monde. "Let's just kick Greece out of the eurozone" people have no idea of what they're doing.

ES6 is a mixed bag for me.

I'm against block scope in a way. It's semi-useful, but it's just sugar. So many features of ES6 seem to be designed for people who don't want to bother learning javascript: classes, block scope, arrow syntax, etc. It's just trying to shoehorn javascript into the template every other language follows when javascript is not every other language.

That being said, I like iterators, weak maps, typed arrays, TCO, and so on.
1) An application that connects restaurant chefs and managers to local farmers. Local farmers could upload their goods for the week on a marketplace board, and chefs could find things that they would like to cook with for the week and buy them. Typically chefs meet local purveyors at farmer's markets, but for small enough producers, it would save them time and money to just have their goods bought directly without having to go to a central market and run a stand. Chefs would be able to order local goods similar to the way they order through Sysco or FSA.

2) A dribble-like site for artisans. A site to showcase and upvote artisan work and hopefully drive business to them. Baked goods, building airplanes, cedar strip canoe building, kinetic sculptures, etc.

Agreed. However, United still has very glaring security issues with their site that go far beyond the 4 digit PIN. I can't provide concrete details because I still have a pending bug bounty report, but stuff along the lines of bad/missing HTTPS and easy hijacking of account management sessions.
Problem: Advertising is a big industry. Billions of dollars are spent to bolster brand awareness and drive sales. Increasingly, advertising is digital as consumers spend more time on phones, computers and tablets. Social platforms like Facebook exploit user data for enormous profit, while all the user gets is a “free” product. There is an opportunity for users to reclaim a significant amount of this value, and in doing so realize a greater sense of worth.

Mission: To measure and honor the value of every individual.

Vision: Corporations and Individuals providing value directly for each other.

Product: A URL shortening service for individuals to monetize the content they share. Monetization occurs via an ad featured between the platform sharing the short url (e.g. Facebook) and the site the short url takes the user to (the content being shared).
Shazam for fonts. Point your phone camera at some text and it tells you the top N fonts it thinks it is with C% confidence.

Niche market for graphic designers.

There's the website What The Font [1], but it's not a super user friendly app like Shazam.

I think the hardest part of this would be the huge amount of time it'd take to get a good dataset and train whatever machine learning model you'd probably wind up using.

Wouldn't the simpler solution be just move the Almond industry out of California to somewhere with better water?
As a left-wing guy, I find that comment funny. Ask Poland or Hungary how much Warsaw Pact nations enjoyed "running their own lives". And the junta was not before the end of the sixties.
We definitely have been getting busy signals the past few days but we figured it was multiple callers trying to ring them at once. We'll switch our Twilio number.

We've also encouraged people in multiple places that both calling and emailing will make the most impact. Most people have been emailing rather than calling anyway.

Thanks for the feedback.
One way of think of it is that:

There are connections between Deep Learning and Theoretical Physics because there are (even stronger) connections between Information Theory and Statistical Mechanics.
If "brick ancient barn" is too plausible for you to get the full effect, try something with more diverse adjectives like "beef tasty stew" or "laptop lost bag".
The vertical turbines are quite small. Here's one at a house in Brisbane near where I live:

I suspect there's issues attaching it to the house itself, but for houses on the top of a hill such a setup can work well. That thing gets spinning really quickly some days.

What are some monitoring services for front-end frameworks (Angular/Ember)?
Looking for services that help me monitor errors to helper me fix bugs.
- Startup: create a universal and convenient micropayment system that would allow content creators(writers, comics-artists, video creators) to monetize their content.
The problem now is that current systems suck, and each website has it's own, so that it's not convenient for users to pay for content, they have to enter credit card, or go to paypal, etc. There should be a nice embeddable button that allows users to pay for watching a video or reading an article in one click, on any website. Or maybe something even more elegant and convenient.

- Startup: xprize meets kickstarter. Or a reverse-kickstarter. You create and back the project first, and then anyone can execute it and collect the reward. People come up with projects they want to see happen, submit the idea. Anyone can vote on the idea by sending some money. As a result you have a list of user-created project ideas, ranked by how much money people deposited on them. Anyone who completes a project gets all the money.

- Project: A convenient website where users can add feature ideas, vote on them, and discuss implementatuon. It would be a convenient way for developers to prioritize which tasks to work on. Probably connected to git. Basically like submitting issues, but it's feature ideas and it's ranked by importance.

- In-browser markdown editor like on gitbook.com. Please somebody make this. Ideally it would be open source, but I would totally pay for an opportunity to use it on my website.

- slant.co, but for things other than tech. Movies, books, music, whatever. Or a similar open-source system so that I could spin up my own website with this.

- Awesome open source chat that I can embed on my website. Like chapp.is or gitter.im

- ELI5 for computer science and programming. Explain linear regression, ANN, and other complicated concepts in short, simple terms.

-A robot simulator programming game where you control a virtual robot with your code. Targeted to CS and AI students. You could use this game to practice algorithms you are learning. Challenges(levels) are somewhat similar to AIMA exercises, or can be taken from berkeley AI class curriculum. Later you add a "competition" feature, where several teams program their robots to fight each other. Check out Screeps and Starcraft AI Tournament for inspiration.
(the whole game is in the browser, robots are controlled with REST API so you could use any language.)

Send me an email to raymestalez@gmail.com if you are interested in working on any of these. I know Django, I can contribute, especially if it's open source.
The point of democracy is that the people appoint representatives to act on their behalf -- as such, the public is indeed fully responsible for what their politicians do, like it or not, whether an individual voted for them or not.

There is no abdication of responsibility in a democracy and the Greeks should know that better than anyone.
So if I was mugged or being robbed, I have no friends around when this is happening, and I am not paying a security service, I shouldn't call 911?
Doesn't look like it's been mentioned yet but there is very related project called Online Abuse Prevention Initiative (OAPI http://onlineabuseprevention.org/). It would be a good idea to talk to them in addition to what you are already doing.

It was covered on FLOSSWeekly earlier this year (https://soundcloud.com/twit/floss-weekly-331-oapi).

This was resolved years ago in the linguistics community. There are open-class words, which in English are nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. New open-class words can easily be added to the language. There are closed-class words, about a hundred of them, although opinions differ on this.[1] Some lists have "the" as a closed-class word, others have it as an an adverb.

Closed-class words are treated like keywords in programming languages. The list seldom changes, and it's necessary to know the closed-class words, but not the open-class words, to parse a sentence. (At least in formal English.) While there are taxonomies of the closed-class words, modern thinking is that they're all handled as special cases.

The ibtimes page linked to that one, but also to a Telegraph article which seems a bit better for a Western audience, so we picked that one.
The sheer volume of comments has raised awareness, I think/hope. We've tried to get people to customize the form letter as much as possible.

Submitters: HN prefers original sources, especially when some site has shamelessly ripped off somebody else's work and stuck a baitylicious title on it. Please do your due diligence and post the real thing. The community will appreciate it, and the discussion will be better, since ripoffs tend also to be dumb.
I really do think that they tried to sneak this through.

How is this a data source?
Yeah, I did lots of manual farm labor for family friends as a kid, but there's no way we could do that together at under the regulatory regime here today. I'm not sure if we could successfully do it surreptitiously or not.
1 is not a bad idea. I have an alternative idea where chefs (and anyone else) can post what high quality produce (heritage breeds, etc) they want and how much they will pay for the produce. Farmers could then bid on these requests. This way rather than having to select from what is available, or the farmer having to guess what the market wants, the farmer grows what is wanted by the market and they know how much they will earn. Rather than grow the tasteless varieties that crop and look good, they will grow the varieties that actually taste good.

He has a point actually :-) Varoufakis does not accept the 7.2 billion of "aid" under current conditions because he believes that Greece has an insolvency problem and not a liquidity problem.

The current hovernment wants to add at least 30% debt reatructuring (which Germany says it s off the table) and pay back only when reasonable primary surpluss has been achieved.

It was an argument: it had premises and a conclusion. The premises happen to disagree with yours.

The premise might expose a preference but that's because we are debating politics, wherein at some points up the chain of logical reasoning, one needs to pick preferences among conflicting principles.
I am so sorry, but The Little/Seasoned ... books are all bad books, they are repeating all the time, but they are NOT Iliad, NOT Odyssey, NOT HOMER epic at all. The little schemer and and The Seasoned Schemer I have both read two times , but all can't hold to end. I have read SICP, Simply Scheme, the realm of racket，Practical Common lisp, the joy of clojure, they are all the best, i like them and learned many more from them. Yes i also have learned some thing from The little ... books, but very little compared to 600 pages, indeed if the 600 pages three books can compress to a 100 pages book, then it will be good, may be a best book like many best programmer says, but they didn't do that, they will be 600 pages full of stupid stars and senseless talks forever, so i say they are the worst classic programming books i have read. I really don't know why why the adult human will like the little ..., the little ... are not HOMER epic, how did they repeat and repeat and repeat at pains? Beacuse that seems fun? that seems like fairy tales? I think no, i love Narnia series,
Andersen storys, BUT i hate all the little ... books. I don't think i am the only one in the world hate them, but love SICP HOMER epic and Narnia. Please tell why you hate or like the little ... books, or if you can change my thought. I want to know.

adf.ly focuses on publisher-side monetization. We're focused on individuals monetizing the content they share through their social networks. While the traffic a user generates through a social network is less than a publisher, we hypothesize that it is still significantly undervalued, especially to the user.

Spree killings/mass murders/rampage shooters/whatever are all a canard anyway. A canary in the coal mine. Add up all the spree killers in the US and they'll not break 1% of the murders. Just like the debate over automatic weapons is a canard, since they're very rarely used in murders.

The US has a murder problem. It's murder rate is four times that of it's industrialised contemporaries. Most of those murders (~75%) are done with firearms, and most of those (>75%, can't recall exactly) are done with handguns. And by someone who knows the victim closely.

The stereotype of the inner-city gangsta gunning down a gangland enemy with an automatic weapon is an outlier. And the same is true of the spree killer. As long as debates on either side center on these kinds of outliers, little will be achieved. The murder rate isn't going to be affected by open carry, since most murders aren't of strangers. And banning automatic rifles isn't going to do anything either, because it's handguns that do the dirty work.

The problem is that these details aren't sensationalist. Being gunned down by a stranger on a rampage makes the news. Being killed by a crazy relative doesn't.

Lecturing Germany on its own history is just about the most useless contribution to this debate possible.

Germany and everyone else who foolishly loaned Greece money in 2010--and before--wants to get paid. There is nothing wrong with that. Dredging up the irrelevant past? Not so much.

Or: if I owe someone money, it doesn't matter if they are a nice person or not. I still owe them money, and must suffer the legal consequences if I fail to pay. This is what the rule of law is all about. It protects everyone, even people who are not nice. Even people who are hyopcrites. Even people who are Germans.

This moralization is childish. By all means dismiss the German government's moralization as silly and irrelevant. But don't engage in far more silly and far less relevant moral hectoring of your own.
I sometimes even registered the domains, e.g. toothing.org The name offers various cell phone games, even the toothing hoax itself.

The next odd idea requires expert knowledge in Babylonian contracts. Every change of ownership without a contract was theft. Contracts involving people required a cancel clause for each side. And ownership on people without contract was punished by death, as illegal slavery. So most contracts are marriages. The contracts are highly formalized, so one can use them as templates and exchange the names. Print them on a clay tablet, burn them, and send them by mail. I'm sure marriage contracts would sell, especially those with the cancel clause: "and when she says you are no longer my man, he can throw her into the river".

The 3rd and most challenging idea would be a project and freelancer site that does not suck. Where projects, prices and skills do not race to the bottom.

Allegedly a South Korean assemblyman created a sleeper cell that would become 'activated' when North Korea attacks South Korea based on a testimony by an unknown member of the sleeper cell who have never appeared in public or known to even exist. They dissolved the opposition group based on a report by the NIS (intelligence agency of Korea with a long tradition of torturing and suppressing dissidents). The same agency also tied cement around former president Kim Dae Jung (who happens to be from the west province of Korea, who have long been oppressed and persecuted for centuries) after kidnapping him from a Japanese hotel during 70s, but just as they were about to throw him over the boat, guess who, American soldiers stopped them.

You pick up a Korean newspaper, you are almost certainly reading a mouthpiece of the government.

There are even more frightening stories during this time. Playing national anthem 4 oclock every fucking day, forcing people to stop what they are doing, and sing, many of which were propaganda songs composed by the president with the help of his daughter, the current president of Korea.

The most scary one is where people just 'disappear' only to reappear in mental hospitals because they got a bit drunk and talked shit about the government during the 70s or 80s.

Plenty of young men conscripted into Korean military would die because what the concept of human rights has long been an alien ideology, basically a curfew and martial law during this period where you couldn't do jack shit after 10pm or you'd get arrested or get a good beating.

Let's not also get started with women's rights, but perhaps the most frustrating is the social fabric of Korea is hierachial and oppressive. Kindergarteners going to overly priced private tutors after school ends and coming home at midnight because they are told the same lie that studying will get you places, teachers beating kids with corporal punishment for low scores on exams, and the constant war drumming of the 'suffering' or 'han' of Korean history and teaching to hate neighboring countries, especially Japan.

It's no wonder that millenial Koreans are desperate to leave the country, even if it means being a plumber in Germany with an advanced degrees.

By no means has South Korea ever been a democracy, the same traditions continue but hidden beneath disinformation and surveillance of opponents.
Nice idea. I think you will find the hardest thing will be that so many typefaces are near clones of each other. It might be easier to just match to the closest open source typeface.
My understanding is there are only a few areas in the world climate suitable for commercial almond farming. Among them Spain, areas of Australia and California (which produces most of the worlds almonds). Move the Alfalfa first. It uses in sum more California water than almonds and you can grow it in many locations.

Incidentally, the idea of growing almonds indoors is just plain nuts:)

You would have to have a lot of indoor space and the return would likely not even close to cover the cost. Ever. Even if almonds cost 5 times as much. Even if you bred little tiny almond trees (which could probably be done as they have miniature peach trees and vertical espelied peach trees and almonds are essentially a type of peach pit)
So what do you think of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Agreement_on_German_Ext... ?

Perhaps everyone in Germany would be better off still re-paying that 50% that was just removed.
> Outside the wooden red house was a brick grey ancient barn.

native speakers of english will find that "red wooden house" is favored over "wooden red house", the same way the "big red dog" is favored over "red big dog".

There's an ordering to adjectives that has something to do with how important the adjective is to the identity or distinctiveness of the modified object.
In a similar vein, I keep a domain set up with an open mail address for anything at that domain. I sign-up with the format of the domain and date as my email prefix.

Surprisingly I've only seen one misuse of email address doing this for a few years. And I sign-up to competition and the usual suspects quite regularly. The bigger one I find abused these days is phone numbers. I guess it's harder to track source hence more dodgy brothers activity here.
