1. I agree it sounds a little abnormal, but it makes sense to me. Why are you so quick to write "open sources" off as error (or fabrication)? 2. from google re: exploit - 1. Make full use of and derive benefit from (a resource): "500 compan

It looks like MPL orders are undisplayed. Then how can they "display at a price but execute at a separate price"? Or, what does it mean when I read "The MPL order is an undisplayed limit order that is priced at the midpoint of the Protected

Note (b) is surprising and I'm not sure I understand. Can you add more details to your example? If someone sells at 20.01, and I'm higher in the queue because I told the matching engine that I'm willing to accept 20.015, why would I ever no

Replacing email isn't fixing email, it's replacing email. When I discovered I couldn't practice running a mile in my house, I went to the local track. I didn't fix my house, I replaced it for this particular task with something else. Isn'

I thought this was obvious, but I guess not. When people say email is broken, they mean that their email client is broken. When people talk about fixing email, they mean producing a better email client. That the OP doesn't get this obscur

My GF couldn't get over that I was spending my Sunday evening blasting away at 1900 other "nerdy hackernews-ers", until I realized from the coordinated attacks it couldn't be real. Still a ton of fun.

You just hover over the spot of interest and then it tells you to one decimal place...

Yes, and if I upload 50 dresses and they are requested and I now have 5000 buttons, what do I do with them? The point here is just that the button system essentially shuts itself off from say 45 of my dresses because I have no reason to upl

by jmilloy 15y ago
You're assuming that the supply and demand of dresses is balanced, and in particular that any particular dress will always be in demand. You're right - you can keep a dress forever and it's not on the website. That's not really what I mean

By using the buttons, 99dresses makes their system more fragile than necessary, and excludes people who could help build the community. Consider that most people won't need more than a few dresses worth of buttons. So someone who has 300 dr

I'm wondering if, instead, an employer created a facebook app that asked for maximum access, and asked their employees to authorize it. It might no longer be unauthorized access/tortious interference. I don't know the first thing about face

From the whois and your tumblr, it looks like you (1p1e1) are the owner of tiljs.com. I have nothing against your site, but page from it aren't the correct type of submission to HN. Just give us a link to primary content you think we'll lik

It's unfortunate then that in this case the honest and clear answer sounds like glossy PR-speak.

Of course, there is general English idiom and mimicry in play here... I typed a few into google and looked at the number of results to get a very rough sense of how hn differs from the norm. For example, "... pedantic" is (unsurprisingly)

I think the point there is that anyone purchasing an electric vehicle should do some basic research about electric cars and batteries. It's not that they should know this because boat owners know it; instead it's that they should take it up

Unlike "genuine happiness", things like delivery times, defect rates, and numbers of patches seem concrete and easily measurable. (I left customer satisfaction out, but for all I know companies have objective ways to measure this as well.)

What do you mean by still? It wasn't profitable, it made changes, and now we have to see what happens. It's a bit early to say it's still not profitable.

Don't forget about connections... an hour more or a few extra bucks for a different connecting airport could easily be worth it to someone.

The specific issue in the relevant wired article wasn't the policy and devices that are in use, but the abuse and mis-use of the policies and devices by TSA-hired agents. If the TSA is unable or doesn't choose to monitor and eliminate this

I don't understand what was so crappy about the subject line. If I was using any service, free or not, and I received an email with the company name and the word "Permissions" in the subject line, I would read it.

I expected to come here and see comments lambasting supportbee for being whiny; I am surprised by the tone here. I think a lot (certainly not all) of the problems with the freemium model stem from the users. Just because it's free doesn't m

It seems like a lot of the reasons for jumping ship were because there was no market for the product. Maybe it's just that he's making his brainstorming and market research phase sound like a product when it isn't yet, but it's strange to

There are lots of question and answer situations -- not all of them are the Socratic Method. I prefer a narrow definition: the Method was largely "to elicit admissions, as from an opponent, tending to establish a proposition" [1] and, esp.

This isn't really what I think of as the Socratic method, which pertains to a style of discourse (whether it be teacher-student or peer-peer) involving questions by one side and answers by the other to investigate nonfactual issues, and whi

Facts are useful but not always the end goal; in Bloom's taxonomy, this is the first/base kind of understanding. Sometimes we can ask questions and elicit the gathering of facts, but not always. Once the information has been gathered, we ca

You're right, I can't, and that's a useful feature. However, I don't find that I need to very often. In the interest and excitement of offering new (useful) features such as track name searching, I feel that these programs overlook many mo

Often, I'm just as frustrated about the opposite problem... technology that is less functional than what it is replacing because it doesn't replicate important features in a natural way. For example, I feel like I can organize my physic

No, I don't think that magazines count as retro design . The problem isn't that print magazines still exist; the problem would be if the online subscription was designed to look like a print magazine (static pages sizes, separate pages tha
