You could also shim the lock open pretty quickly with a scrap of aluminum from a beverage can. Examples...

I'm not necessarily here to defend WordPress, but, I agree, a compiled static site does make sense for the HN user's blog, but you're not typical. What about the neighborhood barbershop that needs a website and likes to self-publish blog articles a couple times a week? What's the best solution for them?

Knowing about WordPress and the typical use case, what do you use instead?

...and the subject of The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.

I think we've all done something along those lines. I'm not sure if this counts, but recently HN asked us to avoid gratuitous negativity...

Mailinator also added the Private Domains feature back in October:

Great comment and awesome HN bio. Instantly made me feel good after a tough stretch. Thanks.

Get off my lawn. :)

When I was in college, 91-95, your SS# was your identifier. It was the unique code that everyone used when they needed a way to identify people.

I gotta dig it out, but I think my SS# was printed right on my school ID (and the state issued card allowing me to buy alcohol with my out of state driver's license -- Vermont).

If anything, it was a good read.

It was one of those rare stories where I was looking at my scroll position hoping I wasn't near the end. Usually it is the other way around.

Interesting that the domain -- http://www.anthemfacts.com -- was registered in 2013

This pilot has a first-person account and eerie photos of what may be earthquake lights:

I think you can count on it as long as the 'retro gap' [1] holds at the current level.

Honest question: Is glass an option? Aluminum?

There's video on the developer's website that provides somewhat of a demo.

>I think on my C64 it was frequently the case that we'd switch games every few minutes.

Except when it took like 20 minutes to load a game from cassette.

> Can't we just look this up somewhere else instead of encouraging this bullshit paywall behavior? Or is the quality of information that different?

I honestly don't know, but I think in news, time is a factor.

Use this post as a test: what non-paywall link would you submit?

I agree about Google Apps support. So far, I like Inbox, but I don't get much volume on my personal Gmail account.

Most of my mail flows through my business account on Google Apps. I really want to put Inbox through it's paces there. Hopefully it will be available sometime soon.

Audio of segment hints at more?

Perhaps file a bug report on that Github repo?

The second paragraph is apropos:

> A woman snatched off the streets was rescued with the help of a GPS tracking device that had been installed on the suspect's car by the dealer in case it needed to be repossessed, authorities said Thursday.

> It was just the latest arrest made possible by the surveillance technology that is seemingly everywhere nowadays. And it involved not just GPS but surveillance video, traffic-camera imagery and a left-behind cellphone.

Edit: Also from the above article regarding traffic-cam:

> Her rescue came after authorities spotted the used-car dealer's name on a traffic camera photo of Barnes' vehicle and recognized the dealership as one that routinely puts GPS devices on its cars, said sheriff's Capt. Jayson Crawley, of Charles City County, Virginia.

> "We called the dealership, and within five minutes they had the location," he said.

Very recently in Baltimore, MD, USA, a woman's abduction from an empty street was caught on video. A couple days later, her bank card was used in another city to withdraw money. The video from the bank, along with the video from a nearby gas station helped identify the captor and save the woman.

I'm kinda out of the Less loop of late, but plugins look like a nice new feature.

> Plugin Support - it is now straight forward to add AST manipulations (see less-plugin-inline-images), file managers (see less-plugin-npm-import) and post processors (see less-plugin-clean-css and less-plugin-autoprefix).

Quick NPM search:

Damn. Not sure what I was expecting, but that sucks. So sad.

Where did all that cash come from?

This reminded me of another missing person posted here. Does anyone know what happened to Luke Arduini? I have no connection, but for some reason this stuck with me.
