Used to use Car2Go all the time on holiday, recently had major problems re-activating my account after they became Share Now. Staff still answered the phone as "Drive now", it was a very confusing experience, which concluded with "wait 7 days for a human to review your account". Perhaps if they made sign up easier, they wouldn't be struggling!

Thank you for reminding me to appreciate this tool I've been using for years, just donated!

If everything is based on performance metrics alone, surely there's a feedback loop here? Employee A starts peeing in a bottle, so their performance numbers go up, then at the end of the week they have better performance numbers and everyone else's targets are increased to be more inline with employee A. So more people start using bottles and taking shortcuts and the problem just increases over time!

Well this finally gave me the bump to move my DNS away from Dreamhost, which I have been meaning to do for literally years, now to sit and wait for the new name servers to propagate.

I think the key problem is more that PHP is easy for developers to pick up and there is a lot of misinformation, in particular very outdated PHP 'tutorials' out there that have the whole idea quite backwards.

As it's often the first web development language picked up by people, who may not necessarily know what they're doing, it gets a bad reputation. Used correctly, however, it can be just as powerful as any other web development language.

Well it certainly looks interesting, shame there's no kind of demo to see what the game's actually like, without paying £75.

For early stage it looks pretty good! Would move to see it completed. It suit Civ style play particularly well if it could be set up to notify everyone when it was their turn (similar to how some online chess apps function).

Really like the idea, my uni is currently investigating use of domjudge to mark assignments, but couple that with face to face feedback while reviewing the code.

A web application for my Computer Science dissertation (I'm writing up the report at the moment).

The idea was to produce a web app that you upload your bank statements to, the system categorises the transactions and then predicts how much money you will spend in each category next month.

Underneath the system is using machine learning techniques to model the spending, deciding whether or not a particular transaction will occur and triple exponential smoothing to predict how much would be spent.

Edit: I also put together a biblatex checker which I've been using to validate my reference files for my report.

I think the conclusion is that you can't trust random internet users with a terminal.

Thank you kind internet stranger. Now, how does it work?

Same here with Chrome on OSX Mavericks. I imagine it can only a subset of known windows versions and if it can't detect yours it just assumed you have Windows 8.1

Can confirm this article as correct: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25430582

Am able (on Sky) to access all the sites mentioned on this article.

I do however, strongly disagree with the sentiment that this filter is "Just another attempt by the Tories to prevent people finding out information." It's not, it's just a very poorly implemented filter by the ISP's that can be 'hacked' with a simple proxy.

We had to deal with this kind of filtering many years ago back at school, where even the word 'mobile' was filtered.

How does it handle multiple textboxes on the same screen?

Minor usability complaint, but the URL is way too long to page in Messenger/IM "this message is too long, try again"

Had to goo.gl it

As far as I'm aware most of these devices need rooting/jailbreaking to be able to develop on them yourself. However the process isn't that difficult, and in some cases you can get full copies of android running on the device.

I found this plugin for HN today, it's probably been posted before but I imagine that given the recent spur of titles being changed (in my opinion, in many cases to titles that make it less clear) it may be of use to you!

Edit: I tried to use https://www.hnsearch.com/, to check when/if this was last posted but am hitting a SSL protocol error

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://n.premii.com:8080/news?t=1368095400890. Origin http://premii.com is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

It sends log messages to http://www.galaxyjdb.com with your OS information and the state of the app..

    /insert.php?o=*os.name*&u=*APPDATA*&ip=java.io.tmpdir&e=*APPSTATE*

It appears to download an exe from http://g2f.nl/0lczsoo

Then it tries to execute the exe:

    System.getenv("APPDATA") + "\\AdobeUpdate-Setup1.84.exe";

If at any point in the process it hits an exception, it sends the code for that exception to the galaxy web address, presumably so the dev can see how the app is performing.

Now normally it wouldn't be able to execute the exe (no access to the filesystem), but it looks like the applet requests elevated permissions from the user to allow it to access/run files.
