jessor··on Petition against forced Google+ integration on YouTube hits 112,000
Use Chrome's multi-user feature for the different accounts. I manage around 10 different ones (private, youtube, nonprofits, others) like this with ease.
jessor··on Catch.com: Terminating service next month
Any alternatives? Evernote is way too much for our organization's users. Google Keep looks great, but without folders it doesn't work for us :(
jessor··on Ask HN: What unwanted domain names are you sitting on?
open-app.org open-app.de
jessor··on Dashku is now open source
You might want to link to the Website or at least put some screenshots up ;)

jessor··on Ask HN: Just ordered my first Mac- what apps should I know about?
I purchased two apps within the first few weeks after my switch to a MBP:

1) Moom (move/zoom windows) - http://manytricks.com/moom/

2) TotalFinder (enhances the finder) - http://totalfinder.binaryage.com/

Some other must haves for me:

* MacVim

* Alfred

* Cyberduck

* Homebrew

* VLC

jessor··on Romania Has The Fastest IPv6 Adoption Rate
I'm living in Romania now and can confirm this. My friends in Germany can only dream about such uplinks. Internetwise, Germany feels like a Second World Country for me now. The rds founder seems like a very smart man. I never met him but I like him already :)

Let's see if Cluj can continue to build and hold the startup scene there.

jessor··on LiveReload: Reflect CSS Changes Instantly, with No Browser Reload
+1 for Guard. I recently switched to Mac and couldn't get stock livereload to run with my rvm'd 1.9.2 system ruby. I'm happy to have found Guard, I'm running it with livereload and compass and love the streamlining.
jessor··on Introducing Social, A Wordpress Plugin
They're all together in the first tab. See the comments under the linked post.
jessor··on I interviewed 60 people less than 24 hours after they attempted suicide. AMA
Check out her blog, interesting stuff there, too: http://taradeliberto.blogspot.com/
jessor··on The Linux desktop experience is killing Linux on the desktop
running audio from 4 different apps simultaneously all mixed together

honestly, this just works out of the box for several years now (on ubuntu, debian and arch linux at least).

jessor··on Heroku is partially down (my site unresponsive)

jessor··on Tell HN: You made us do it. Hack On, the Online Hackathon with Live Streaming
Didn't see this one before. It's a bit unfortunate but no showstopper. Stay tuned!
jessor··on Tell HN: You made us do it. Hack On, the Online Hackathon with Live Streaming
There's no theme for the first one (yet). You can signup on the site, we'll keep you posted!

jessor··on Ask HN: What about taking Hackathons online?
While I know that feeling you could minimize it by streaming just your browser window or some other part of the desktop.

The answers to those questions are actually quite simple. Christians believe that there's an epic battle for mankind going on between God and Lucifer which started when God created Men, because God loves Men more than the angels (and Lucifer).

The tree was a test for mankind which Satan made Adam and Eve fail. God had to stick to his rules and the consequences ensued. The tree was neccessary because Men are to have free will. God wants them to love him and that's not possible when there's no alternative.

There's a whole set of rules, that's why he won't kill Satan just now. Christians believe mankind isn't innocent per definition since they were cast out of Eden. All the bad we see in this world is because of that and because Men has free will and Satan keeps pulling strings to keep them away from God. In this sense, Satan tempts People and makes them sin which in turn can't make them come to God.

God's final answer is Jesus who presents Men with a solution to escape Satan's grip and position themself with God.

That's what christians who want to make sense of it all believe anyway ;-)

The only real contradiction I see is that God says he's perfect but still created mankind and wants people to love him.

jessor··on Trapped on a bus with other geeks building a startup
Really impressed with how they work on people.

I did a facebook auth and retweet, a couple of minutes later I had two new private followers and a personalized email with "Hey Daniel, I vouched for you to apply for the StartupBus this year. Go here to find out more and definitely apply so my vouching for you isn't wasted."

I know it's all automated but the feeling of being kind of important still stays.

woa, friggin fast. nice.

small bug: there are no .id tlds available (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.id)

for a moment there i thought andro.id was free ;-)

jessor··on IRC notifications via SSH and libnotify
i just have "urxvt.urgentOnBell: true" in my .Xdefaults so it raises the urgent hint of my window manager when someone says my name. never had the urge to get other notifications. cool solution, though.
jessor··on Live video chat show with other HN readers today at 5PST
will there be recordings?
jessor··on The LESS CSS Grid
I like the idea, but working with Sass and the 1140px cssgrid.net (cssgrid because it degrades so nicely on mobile phones) I don't see much pain taken away there.
jessor··on Ask HN: Review my winter break project (statusdot - hosted website status pages)
Great idea!

In the admin, when one adds his site and there's an error, all fields clear out. Also i tried putting in a german mobile number in various formats and it always said "Sms number must be at most 10 characters long".

Best of luck, looking forward to where you'll go with this.

jessor··on Ask HN: Instant Messaging for the paranoid?
screen (multi-user, persistent)

+ irssi (irc)

+ bitlbee (XMPP, ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Twitter. OTR built in)

+ gpg (on-the-fly encrypted config and log directories)

it's a hacker's solution but it's not complicated to put together when you know your way around those applications.

jessor··on Show HN: Our (two) weekend project: 365.io - A photo a day for one year.
I don't like the idea of ads, but some kind of reward system might become critical to 356's success.

I started sth very similar to this this with a couple of friends one year ago and every single one of us lost interest/motivation/time in the first half of the year :(
