This! People need to get a life. I wouldn't have any trouble keeping myself busy after retirement. I do not have nearly enough time for the things I really WANT to do beside work.

Numbers are touched up all the time, both in politics (e.g. few governments will admit to lowering the employment rate, if things are not working, usually a new way of counting the unemployed is introduced) and in large companies (managers who report "everything's fine" up the chain until it's too late).
Applied to your idea, donors will have to come up with KPIs to meet. Whatever the situation, the KPIs will magically look good. And if there are no KPIs, nobody will dare take the job.

(while not paying your interns) to Article 23 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
> (3) Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.
If you already have a working Ruby environment, it's not a lot. If you have to start by installing Ruby, then yes, don't bother.
BTW, this does more than "cat", it supports editing and toggling parts of your config (using --include on files that would normally be excluded).
This was my original use case: Switching between setups for remote and office work.
Apart from reducing operating costs, I never thought about servers as assets. Essentially, using things like AWS for operations makes the money go away as soon as it's spent. That's a very real risk if you're striving for a sustainable business that doesn't run on ads and you don't yet know where this is going.
If you gain access to your victim's e-mail account, even if you find any passwords in there, you cannot use any of them because they are not working anymore.
So it's not only a stronger, non-recycled password. It's:
1. an OTP
2. that expires very soon
3. that cannot be recycled
4. in a place that's likely to be well-protected
EDIT: 5. that place (#4) is in widespread use
This is beyond a "password manager" which barely covers #3 (it incentivizes not to recycle) – and maybe #4, if you're careful.
No, it's an OTP. And that's so much more than a password...

All I'm saying: If budget is the issue, I'm all for kindergarten. If it's not an issue, make everything free.
While going to university has been free for a long time in Germany (and will be again according to this article), German parents pay for kindergarten and day care.
In most countries, it's the other way around and I'd gladly pay for my kids to go to university than pay for the much more basic education before primary school. I paid up to 500 Euros a months for my son's kindergarten. (This is is maximum amount, but that's another story...)
This is why I don't get that students were so eager to demonstrate against the introduction of tuition, claiming education is then reserved for rich people. The same argument could be brought up against payments for day care, but no one will acknowledge that. (I guess this is because students are willing to plan for family after the degree.)
Reversing this situation would result in better integration of kids from families with immigrant background which is a far better goal than to make higher education more accessible, regardless of money.
Ok, let's play a game then: Here's a group of 100 people. Your assignment:
1. Find 10 women who already track their cycle because it's important to them.
2. Find 10 people who already track their poop because it's important to them.
You'll probably need to ask about 10 women to finish assignment #1, maybe 12. You'll never be able to finish assignment #2.
Every woman has to worry about pay discrepancies. In every industry, at every job level. That's what this whole "gender pay gap" is all about, you know?
And it's everybody's job to fix this!
If you improve in each level and remain a constant rate, you get more points in higher levels. Suppose you take 1 second to finish each level, your points in all levels will be: 320, 500, 720, 980, 1280, 1620.

You can take any time you need to remember the numbers, it does not matter. However, I'm planning to add more levels that only show the numbers briefly.

In my defense, I did read the guidelines before posting this and it explicitly said:
> HN users are comfortable with work that's at an early stage.
This is my first "Show HN." I'll put "graceful degradation" on my list for next time :)
From http://www.livescience.com/7444-chimps-numbers-humans.html:
> However, they discovered the three young chimps could remember many numerals with a glance, with virtually no change in performance even when the numbers were flashed for just 210 milliseconds
I'd like to use a fixed-width layout like 2048 has but cannot get it to work. The code is in a feature branch, https://github.com/awendt/memory-chimp/tree/fixed-width. I'm having trouble that the viewport is scrolling horizontally and I don't know why.
I was hoping to get rid of the zooming bug using a fixed-width layout together with the meta tag "viewport". That new layout could also be a chance to suggest users to try it on touch devices.
Can you send a pull request or give me any pointers how to prevent it?
