I totally agree. I am the guy you just described and I think of myself as a libertarian, before the Tea Party ruined the term. I'd like us to rein in spending and make lawmakers accountable for the money they vote to spend. At the same time I'm in favor of absolutely anyone doing absolutely anything they want so long as it doesn't infringe on someone else's rights. Marry three desk lamps and a fishing pole if you want. How does that in any way affect me? Smoke some green tea leaves and a polyester blanket if it makes you happy. You burn down my apartment building and we're gonna have words. We don't need to be spending our blood and treasure to butt into other countries' affairs. I want the post-WWII days back where we didn't bother anyone that didn't bother us first.

My biggest problem is that on her twitter account she suggested forming a "non-violent militia" which is an oxymoron. Also, pando seems to consistently write articles that's main purpose is to stir shit. read: linkbait.

You're drunk JavaScript, go home.

Your video is falling out of the laptop screen, to the right side, on an iPad air.

We've been using a free trial of Slack (https://slack.com/) for about a month now and I can't imagine working without it. It's great for war rooms centered around solving a problem. It's great for team members in different timezones, they can catch up on the days events without asking. The mobile apps and thick clients are fantastic.

Full disclosure: I'm a developer there.

The Motley Fool doesn't have one view on a stock. Each contributor, staff writer, and analyst have their own opinions. Hence "motley." So yeah, there's a good chance you'll come back tomorrow and see other content on the site offering differing opinions. We do our best to keep transparency in this. Every article has a disclosure at the bottom listing the stocks the writer owns and the stocks the company owns. All of our contributors are encouraged to use caps.fool.com to make forward-looking picks on stocks, explaining why they think they'll go up or down over a certain time period. This is all available to the public.

Our premium memberships even keep a scorecard of every recommendation or trade that we make and a bottom-line comparison against a benchmark (S&P 500, or another index that lines up with the universe of stocks we're looking at.) Both buys and sells are included so if a premium service changes their opinion of a stock we let our members know.

Why do these hslda articles keep showing up on HN? This is the second one in as many days. I'm not questioning their value, just their placement on the homepage of Hacker News.

Why not write a driver for Sequel Pro that supports PostgreSQL? I'm not hating, I'm just saying they're both open source. Sequel Pro is, according to their roadmap, interested in supporting PostgreSQL and SQLite.

The cynic in me says, he's from Northern Virginia and he's getting his money anyway because the contractors need to be near DC. The non-cynic says he's just a good guy.

This has always been their plan. They tried this with the original Macintosh and it's successors. Up until now the PC market was growing too fast for them to get away with it. Now with the "Post-PC era" they're giving it another shot. I think it's an interesting idea, each external peripheral does one thing well. It reflects their current advertising and their product lines.

He worked for Booz-Allen for three months. June - Three = March. So ... Greenwald and him were just chatting about the weather for a month or two?

Or people could read the contracts they sign.

I didn't mean that it would be a malicious act. People have varying degrees of taste about photography. I might think a picture looks great the way I photoshopped it because it's my nephew and my monitor is calibrated incorrectly. Someone else might see it and think that there are dodge halos everywhere and all detail in the skin is lost because they tried to remove blemishes but instead removed all detail.

They might think they've done a nice thing but they haven't. I've also seen wedding pictures show up in newspaper ads because it was the best picture that the person had of themselves.

Hoomans don't understand or respect copyright, in general. When it's a big corporation it's one thing. When it's a guy/gal carrying forty pounds of gear around in their 15 year old car trying to make your memories last forever when they've got 1/500th of a second to get it right for ~$40/hr the copyright belongs to them. People should understand it.

Edited for gender neutrality.

Weddings only happen once. I can come give you a free second shoot of your baby pictures if I totally bomb the first one. The risk in shooting a wedding is much higher.

Contract, for-hire photographers aren't employees. Freelance programmers give up their copyright willingly. Just because you negotiated badly doesn't mean photographers have to as well.

Go buy your own camera and learn to take photos properly! I would encourage everyone to do that. The exact moment that you grasp mastery of photography will be the day that you understand why photographers don't give up their copyright or hand over digital files to you.

No, it's not, if you RTFA you would see that you're paying for their time and talent. The photographer still holds the copyright to those photos because they took them. Some photographers will be happy to license or even sell the rights but that's going to be a significant extra charge. It's the difference between buying a print of the Mona Lisa and buying the Mona Lisa. That digital file is their negative and you could very easily take that into Photoshop, make it look like it was painted by a clown and then put it up on your website with the photographer credit. You can do that if you want but you're going to pay for the privilege.

I bought my first Mac a TiBook when OSX was still in beta because I knew it was based on the OS that the world wide web was invented on. I've got the NeXT Bible at home on a shelf. I've been looking to buy a cube for years and have only found them for $5k+ on ebay. I know they're rare but does anyone have one they want to sell for a reasonable amount or know of a place selling them?

Create a bunch of well-crafted honeypots, put the proof on the international stage. Embarrassment and sanctions ensue.

Use the "is this my domain" javascript trick and then remove all elements from the DOM. Better yet, location.href them somewhere else.

Why no Sparkle? To translate to non-OSX terms: why doesn't it autoupdate?

This could be biased as it's the route I took.

I'd get familiar with all three. I'd start with PHP. It's ease of deployment will delay the sysadmin stuff that you'll end up learning anyway. Then I'd go to Ruby. Trying PHP first will make you appreciate Ruby and Python more.

When I'm interviewing people, experience in a number of languages is something I look for. A good programmer is a good programmer. Seeing and understanding the ways that different languages have implemented similar concepts makes you form an opinion and see that there are better ways to skin that cat.

It was a very interesting article and I really enjoyed reading it but why is it on Hacker News?

This confuses and disgusts me. It also makes me wish I hadn't made the parent comment just so this casual antisemitism didn't have a parent comment to latch onto.

They should probably start by looking through the comments on their site. I'd say +70% of them qualify as hate speech.

Google is a business and it has every right to operate as it sees fit. Being a company that is headquartered in the US, I can't believe it would censor this video at all in any jurisdiction. It's not out of character for them considering the lengths it went to appease China but I don't think that was the right decision either.

I would hope that if I was ever faced with a similar situation I would choose based on my conscience not on ignorant local laws, what was best for the business, or what seemed to be the easiest choice at the time.

Edited for grammar.

Sucks that this post is so far down. It's the only piece of content on the page so far that doesn't seem like a biased, drunken tirade, including the OP.

The morale of the story is don't fly Delta.

They're a business and they have every right to throw someone off the plane to enhance passenger comfort. He made it through the TSA checks so we can't blame them. The only way to explain to Delta that you don't want your freedom of expression or speech violated is to not fly on their planes. Let all the passengers that want to overreact to a t-shirt, something completely benign, fly Delta and everyone else can fly one of the other carriers.

Everyone's freedom stays intact.

I don't know much about how patents work.

Could this be for their TV? OTA broadcasts are technically radio waves. Right?

All TV commercials on the AppleTV are now targeted to the individual household based on their metrics about you? Catch the fade-to-black and replace them. Delay the live signal long enough to catch the fade-to-black when the show is coming back live?

Is anyone actually using MariaDB in production at a reasonable scale? Our DBAs tried to convince us to switch from MySQL to Maria a few months ago. All of the devs on my team looked around and couldn't find any testimonials, use-cases or benchmarks that weren't done by someone on the Maria dev team. I realize Monty is behind it but I don't really feel like being an early adopter based on fear that some day Oracle might do something bad with MySQL.

If I got veeti's joke then I think what he was trying to say was that it's nearly impossible to get Google on the phone unless you're a corporate customer. If I didn't get his joke then I'm making it now. joke
