404erroron Ask HN: Are there ads on HN now?

Those types of links have been on here for a while for a while.

404erroron Guys, stop sexualizing women in your mockups

It doesn't look to me like any of the women in those examples were forced to pose a certain way.

It's a problem if you make it a problem.

I'm currently on a juice diet and consume(drink) kale everyday 3 times a day. Tastes awful on its own, but in a juice its not that bad.

First time I tried this whole juice diet thing I lost 38lbs in 2 months.

404erroron Facebook Permanently Disabled My Account While I was Sleeping, NO WARNINGS.

Same here, I just can't make the time for Facebook. Heck, when MySpace was the place to be I started an account and was active for all of a week. Maybe I'm just too old for Facebook (28).

404erroron Ask HN: Any hackers in the 805?

I remember reading about FindTheBest.com a couple of years ago. Is this using Drupal?

404erroron Revealed: Qatar's World Cup 'slaves'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_of_the_FIFA_World_Cup

It was one of the most profitable World Cups, take into account that it was in 1994.

404erroron Revealed: Qatar's World Cup 'slaves'

IMO you are spot on that its FIFA's fault for choosing the location. The Cup will be moved to the winter and will affect European football due to league play.

The US was runner up and should have been awarded the World Cup in 2022. The 1994 Cup in the US was one of the most, it not the most, profitable World Cup.

The infrastructure is in place in the US to host the World Cup.

Can you imagine what political ramifications there would be if the World Cup hosting rights were taking away from Qatar and awarded to the US.

404erroron Ask HN: Are you happy in your current job? (y/n)

What city are you in? I'm looking for PHP work. :-) I just started working with Laravel4 and am loving it.

404erroron Twilio Announces MMS Support

Thanks, I scanned over that section and missed it.

404erroron Twilio Announces MMS Support

Did anyone find the pricing for MMS on their site?

404erroron Do I deserve to be paid more?

Take it from someone who gets paid dirt, ask for more money. The worst that can happen is they say no.

404erroron Weilos (YC S13) Wants To Pair You With An Online Weight Loss Coach

I'm sure that's the idea. I was just pointing out the first thing that came to mind when I read the name.

404erroron Weilos (YC S13) Wants To Pair You With An Online Weight Loss Coach

I don't mean for this to come out negative, but the name Weilos to me sounds to much like whales.

Is this on purpose?

404erroron [dead]

If your looking for sexism you are going to find it.

Edit: I believe sexism exists, I just don't believe it exists in everything. But, if you are on a mission to look for it you will find it in just about anything.

What sex is a modal?

404erroron Ask HN: I can't think straight, my life is in limbo, and I want to end it now

2 weeks ago I was in a similar situation. I had suicidal thoughts, and was deeply depressed. I've had suicidal thoughts before, but I had never actually planned my own death before. It felt like there was someone else in my head and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get the voice to stop beating me up. I was losing it. It felt like who I am was being stripped away from me. I was fine one day and the next I just lost it. I immediately looked for help, and rallied a support group. I went to a psychologist who then talked to my doctor and got me on anti-depressants. By the end of the first day I took my medication I felt 100x better. Turns out I might have been born with low serotonin levels. I had been diagnosed with depression at 17 but ignored it (now 28).

I know you might feel lost right now but you cant give up. Stay positive and seek help. It will get better I promise.

404erroron Ask HN: HN for Investing?

Thank you, I had never heard of bogleheads.

404erroron Ask HN: HN for Investing?

Thank, I will check it out.

404erroron Ask HN: I'm tired of development. What should I do next?

I'm with you on this, it was just a suggestion. I would probably walk in somewhere to sell something and walk out having been sold something else. :-)

Good luck and I hope whatever it is you end up doing you enjoy, I am in a similar situation.

404erroron Ask HN: I'm tired of development. What should I do next?

What about sales?

404erroron Unknown Force Changing a Cloud's Shape [video]

It's probably just a weather balloon. :-)

404erroron EllisLab Seeking New Owner for CodeIgniter

I have gone through the documentation but nothing has been as straight forward as CodeIgniter (for my level). Some of the language is hard for me to understand. I am very impatient and like to start hacking right away.

Have you tried CodeIgniter? Is it an easy transition from CodeIgniter to Laravel?

404erroron EllisLab Seeking New Owner for CodeIgniter

I love CodeIgniter, I wish my PHP skills were better than they currently are so I can help take this on. Of all the PHP frameworks I have TRIED to use, CodeIgniter has been the easiest for me to grasp. They documentation is great and easy for me to follow.

Other PHP frameworks just fly over my head and leave me glassy eyed. I hope the right people take this on.

404erroron Learn Python in minutes

I'm trying to create packages.

I haven't been able to find a decent tutorial on creating packages. That particular section in "Learn Python the Hard Way" was hard for ME to follow. I was able to create a package but only after finding a link on stackoverflow question that then redirected me to a github page containing a sample package from an individual who also had problems. He states that his package worked but he wasn't sure if he created the package correctly.

I've tried reading the python documentation but I'm too dumb to understand some of the language. (No CS background, just a regular dude and a computer here.)

404erroron Learn Python in minutes

Same here, I just went through the same course. (Learn Python the hard way).

Coming from a php background I had (and am having) problems wrapping my head around the packaging section. I started to lose interest because of it. It's as if I hit a wall.

Can any Python hackers offer some good resources for learning more about packaging?

404erroron Ask HN: What sites are similar to renthop.com?

I love the simplicity of RentHop. I replicated the look and feel of their website's earlier look for my small town but I wasn't able to get any traction. Craigslist is too dominant in my area. People know how to use it and don't care to learn anything else.
