hmm.. you could use solar energy to heat the air coming through, otherwise the building would cool down right?

Also is it possible to let the air pass through into one direction only? I think strategically placing incoming/outgoing air-pass through windows, could make a decent air-flow (+heating) system.

yeah, that would be a dream and it would feel really surreal, while it's actually possible. I hope those windows aren't too expensive. I would definitely order some

idk, I'd be afraid of screeching Baboons http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4hudgUt1fQ but these windows at least stop their sound, so there's no problem ;)

ehrm in sweden, yes.. those people are so mad that they allow a reverse search!!! I made payment gateways for companies there and was surprised by that.

What's really sad is that, if all those phone numbers were already public, I guess nobody would have cared to create something like SnapChat in the first place..

indeed. rmc is right.

we are kind of the media.. and reddit is too.. I also believe that they made a fatal error by not selling everything for $3bn then jumping aboard. To not have anything to do with the "soon to come security issues". I mean they could have mentioned it and downplay it as they did just recently. I don't think that the new owner would take security more serious than them.

For us it was really really good that he rejected the offer! Because otherwise we would see the trade market crash $3bn, guess who would have to pay loss.. we..

well, if he saw that coming, which I doubt, he would be a hero.

I would really love to see some numbers on that, but thanks to the IPO we will never have any insight into that. They have to make up numbers like that, or they lose money.

"It is an advertising-based business. Twitter also sells data. It will generate about $583 million this year. Twitter is expected to generate a little less than $1 billion in 2014, according to eMarketer.

Most of Twitter's revenue comes from three types of ads, although it plans to have a more robust advertising offering next year."

Aha!

>> […] people who do need it have moved away already.

hmm, what do you mean and to which platform?

I was thinking of enterprise users and companies who mostly start with a cheap cms, then add features here and there then an app, then an intranet thingy and at the end you have a spaghetti architecture, because everything has it's own front-end without a unifying API. It's rare that developers write their own solutions, you can say, hey nobody would do that, but the reality is far from that. Most devs simply use what's there and try to integrate different projects "by their own way".

I found some things that can be done better at prismic.io and think there is some wasted potential there.

- It requires writing your own controller that needs to implement caching or you have a 500ms delay for API requests

- No multilanguage from the beginning (gotta bake your own solution, that's not so fun)

- Slugs for objects in collections are ugly (see blog example)

Here are all REST API based "CMS", unfortunately, none of them is actually perfect. http://www.programmableweb.com/apitag/CMS?protocol=REST

Wrong. Personally for me a dead end criteria is a CMS without an API. But you mean most people don't need it right? I also think that's not right, because many companies want Mobile Apps, Intranet tools etc. and integrating their crap with the CMS through an API makes a whole lot sense.

I looked at http://prismic.io, but I haven't found anything that's opensource and comes close to it. Do you know something like that?

You can solve the fiddling by replacing the whole UI with markdown. Oh, how will he push images to his liking then? Easy: {{image: cat2.jpg, left}} Ok. and howto make it fit the page and baseline without stretching out of the aspect ratio? {{image: cat2.jpg, fit}} Make a button for that like the Left,Centered,Right aligned text buttons and you're done. Even better remove the button and make the whole shit context sensitive, so that after dragging a picture you can do actions on it without having to mess with drag&drop. People don't get drag&drop, really, just trust me here. Most people aren't as aware as you about drag&drop and it doesn't always work too. Buttons help.

But yeah TinyMCE is DEAD.

I think the same about old people btw. we branch their value out to an old value that is not compatible with the values in our current system. Oh boi, we do that so wrong, it's laughable and very sad at the same time how our society thinks about old knowledge, old people etc.

I think HN is the community that most loudly would agree with new != better but that's exactly what we do wrong. Holy cow, I can't explain how much value we have at our disposal that we throw away + pay to keep it away comfortably. New businesses don't integrate old people, because they don't really know how to make value out of them. That's a simple equation, if you see it this way. It's not because old people cannot contribute to the development of IT, Startups and the Hacker scene. We just have no business model, not even a concept that considers these elder men and women.

Holy cow, that looks like cut out of some alien abduction film..creepy shit..

Not it's not related to that. From what I understand, it transmits the force directly, not using a physical "robot-hand", but pressure I think. Maybe I was fooled, because as miahi said, it's not really clear from the article.. Nonetheless if it's what I think, then it's a worthy news. Funny I didn't think of Star Wars, but that's as close as it gets I think

hmm great question. I don't know the answer, but to me they would still be hand made, but not originally hand made.

I believe cookiecaper is right for the foreseen future, there is more demand for Python Data-Scientists than Ruby Developers.

But we ignore one important thing here and that is the lesson! People need to learn something from the Python story!

Moving forward with an evolving concept, requires the (mathematical) coherence of all ideas. You cannot invent a spoken language, then break it and say now we speak a different dialect, because we use 2 words less this way. Nobody will adopt, not because the feature of reducing verbosity and increasing expressiveness is actually bad, but because the new concept branches out and technically seen it's "noise", because it adds more without integrating it. You can throw a second motor into a car, but without integrating the second motor, you will have no benefit. Python has to learn this the hard way, Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson made a decision for the C programming language about 40 years ago and all of the C code written back then can still be compiled, albeit some things have changed and require minor changes. But this is something you can introduce in a timespan of 40 years. You cannot make a new present every 5 years and say, that all many of the old presents you've made back then, have to be given back, when you accept the new present. Coherence and Evolution are powers that's use should unify and only diversify when required or requested by the diffusion of technology into the userbase.

Biology > Technology

I don't know why technologists and physicists underestimate and neglect nature as "not good enough, we can do better" every single time. There is so much ignorance that causes unnecessary friction and hate. To me nature is the most powerful thing in existence and consists of more than our universe, it is responsible for the laws of physics, life and everything. There is so much we will have to discover and what we will discover at the end is that all of what we found out has existed already for aeons and is mostly in use already by nature (if efficient, from it's perspective) somewhere out there.

Let me explain that argument by an example why our whole technology evolved only because of bio- or natural mimicry. Physicists who are amongst the most disconnected individuals from nature, were actually those who first learnt by "observing" it. Newton, Galileo, Einstein and many more, have used their incredibly unique perspective and way to observe the nature of the things they wanted to understand. By that, they have evolved or discovered ideas, concepts and later the logic that explains the things they observed.

Full Ack!

(awesome metaphor btw)

“You Don’t Say? – That's common knowledge.

1. Shave after a hot bath or use a hot towel (to open pores, for flexible hair)

2. After shaving, clean with cold water (to close pores and reduce irritation)

3. Apply some drops of thistle oil or non water-resistant sun lotion (15)

Thistle oil has no smell, is less acidic on the skin and has more healthy fats. You can also use it to make your shoes shine. I use virgin and cold extracted Coconot or Thiste oil as replacement for butter too. Having 1-2 Tablespoon of oil every morning is healthy and helps to burn fat. Contrary to what most believe, fat is healthy and helps men to keep their hormone levels table, for those who lift it helps to increase the testosterone levels. Alternatively use sun lotion, but be careful with sun lotion, the 15+ cremes contain Bisphenol A, Parabenes etc. some even cause allergies or increase irritation. However when you find a brand that works for you, it makes your skin appear younger due to the reduced UV penetration and the included oils. Just avoid sun lotion sprays they have worse quality.

What would be much much more interesting is to see the wall ONE of the HN members has made, that connects all the tiny pieces of leaks to a grand picture. Using the same tools they use to track us, "maths", or topological data analysis to precisely reveal who, what and how things connect.

If the one amongst us is ready, please post what you collected, I am sure everybody is as curious to see what there is. It's not just journalists who study the NSA revelations, but there are also hobbyists or simply some curious and innocent computer scientists (let's not say hackers here).

You are right that the first victim of war is "truth". But we are beyond classical war, we have global and economically driven war, that is beyond the grasp of normal people. How is it possible that the whole world is at so many "mini-wars", that the world doesn't take notice of the big picture? It's no joke, stupidity or paranoidity, when you say that the in many countries the whole media is in the control of only a few. Everybody knows only as much as he is required to know. In the USA you don't hear about wars that would make you sensitive for the topic, but about things you've already heard a thousand times. The same happens in many other big countries. People see their local news, but it omits the whole picture, just to show emphasize what's important localy. It's so subtle that people would say, that's ok, it's a kind of patriotism, maybe.

You can tell me that I'm wrong, or believe that this is mad, but please have a look at these few resources first. Let's make our decisions objectively and with critical thought as the parent thread's op said.

Interesting recap of the last 23 years: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States_(1...

how about caching as a separate composer requirement, or do you think caching should be in a higher level in the stack?

an even better solution is http://cumulusnetworks.com/ but it's not in php. wouldn't make sense in php anyway.

I once used http://fatfreeframework.com/home in a mozilla hackathon; was quite easy to get going.

what do you mean?

fourofour is not as semantic as notFound, or not_found xD ..

idk. this mixes up routing and api building, right? What people currently use most to build their api (mostly afterwards) is: http://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/latest/

btw. here's a nice and new php framework I've just recently found: http://www.cygniteframework.com/2013/07/quickstart.html

cool, sounds like a good party

Yeah, I hear that a lot.. it's not easy to find something all family members agree on.

The whole article is flawed.

Time for the damn GitHub to introduce more privacy, instead of putting all you ever do in a PUBLIC activity feed, with no opt out.

Teenagers and Kids use Snapchat mostly to share pictures, or did the target user base change, since I last heard about Snapchat? I recognize that this is a sensible topic, so it's really up on Snapchat to really do something now, for PR reasons, or to protect their users from potential damage.

Good point. Gives stuff to think about.
