I think someone should change the title to indicate that it is a PHP library. "Grafika is an image processing library for PHP"

Here is the author's motivation: "It felt wrong installing half of npm even for basic utilities, so I made JUST, a family of dependency-free modules" [1]

I'm an Iranian Hacker, I don't need to watch news to know what is going on in my country. Apart from a gross generalization, Let me tell you why the statement in the slide can not be true. because of sanctions imposed by US to Iran, no Iranian can be selling anything on eBay at the first place.

In the 18th. slide we have this sentence:

Vulnerabilities: - We buy our servers from an Iranian on eBay

I've got two questions for the creator of these slides (Bruce Potter):

1) When was the last time you found an Iranian selling servers on eBay?

2) Where do people come up with this kind of generalization for any country?

It's from "Sohrap Sepehri" [1] an Iranian poet and painter. and I think the replies to your comments answer you question.

From the article:

“It looks like the patch does not fix every case of environment variables being used to pass on executable code. We are still testing the patch, and hope to have more information on it soon,” Boileau said.

A number of other security experts highlighted the incomplete nature of the fix on the Red Hat Bugzilla page. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1141597#c23

on the homepage bottom-right it says: The course costs just $200. If, during the course, you feel you're not getting value for money, we'll give you a refund.

You'll get a lesson a week for 10 weeks. The lessons are text-format, combining a balance of challenges with instruction.

The post is all about the people not the government. I was the organizer of the event then. I think the moral of the story is, people in Iran and what they are trying to achieve worth watching and the world should take them seriously. Despite the main stream media people here are trying to change the world to a better place to live.

I have posted this story to HN because I think people will be more interested to visit Iran and event start investing in the people. As Jonny mention in his article Iran is not a perfect place to live but people are doing their best here.

May they wanted to use that for creating traction in the first days of the launch... then again everyone can just signup and this doesn't make sense...

What Got You Here Won't Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful By Marshall Goldsmith

I came to realize that sometimes to improve your teams' performance you don't need another tip to add into the behavior of the team members. actually the problem with mature team members is not that they don't know what to do; The problem is that they don't know what to STOP doing. And there is another thing that makes the situation even worse: Most of the time the team member who hurts others in the team don't realize that. But everyone in the room knows that something is wrong as the heat in the room rises. And this heat raise certainly will affect the team overall performance and unity. So this is a serious business.

This is the story of one of the Startup Weekend Teams in Tabriz, Iran. I'm really impressed with their passion to bring this alive. Due to financial and political limitations in Iran that will be great if they can win the Global Startup Battle and get the aid from Google to kick start this project. Your vote counts

And this is their website: https://www.getlantern.org/

We believe still there's hope and we can do something or at-least there is some people out there that can call for more and urgent help on this. Please help to spread the word.

We have this in FAQ that if it goes on TV do not post it here.I, as a hacker, as a part of this community, am requesting for any kind of help that you may be able to get for these three young man. We Iranian users were desperately trying to raise awareness of media by tweeting with #IranianClimbers hash tag but it seems media is ignoring these 3 climbers. Do you know anyone that could help? please let us know. Thank you!

I really suggest you to change your pricing names. "Hans Plan ... Ichabod Plan"?! Change them into something much more meaningful to your users: the name of your customer segments. like "freelancer" then "design studio" and so on...

Certainly you have a point there :)

IMHO Having more time like 5 years doesn't mean anyone is going o build something more valuable; I even think by having a limited time to deliver something (e.g 6 months) you are going to deliver the most valuable thing and skip anything that is simply not needed for user. So I think you should stop thinking about the time limit as a constrain to deliver a GREAT idea.

I think you are generalizing the issue too much. also take a look at the comment of the original author of the post. he is not Chinese: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5206578

Thank you for contribution and addition of that functional form. yeah they are much more slower that plain old for loops.

There are various articles on the web that you can improve your javascript loop performance by modifying the way you code them. I wanted to know what is the current state for these techniques due to improvements in browser engines.

Thank you for your time.

Can you please show what you mean in a demo. the link you posted is using the same "float:left and pseduo-selectors with the margin rules" or am I missing anything?

good point! "a surprise packet". In those websites no one is allowed to reveal his/her identity... And how can you trust someone you can't see real past works as freelancers are only allowed to upload some pictures and text for their portfolio.

IMHO The review and star rating system in that websites seems to be failed as almost anyone has 10/10 rating and reviews are copy/pasted copies. So these things can not act as a mean of trust between two parties.

It seems to me transparency is the way to go.

I love the idea of the human matching. Great work guys :-)

I assume you are almost doing something for living. May be you can come to great ideas and pain points in your OWN business. Most of the great startups started by founders scratching their own itch. You should be more alert while living you daily life.

There is also another method suggested by Pual Graham think about your daily task and imagine them 100 years later. How do you think they will be perfumed in the future?

Also here is a recommended read for you if you hadn't read it before David http://www.paulgraham.com/startupideas.html

You mean there is no serious projects going on on those websites?
