Well-formedness is a separate issue from validation. All XML parsers are required by the spec to reject documents that aren't well formed. You can think of it as the lexical analysis rules for XML, whereas validation is the parsing (if that helps).
For those of you saying that no injustice has occurred here and saying that an equivalent punishment would occur in America under these circumstances. Lets review what would happen to this girl in America vs China:

1. That person does not just "disappear."

2. The person is permitted to speak with an attorney without answering police questions

3. The police must file charges within a short time or release the person.

4. The person is entitled to a bail hearing.

5. The person is entitled to a public and speedy trial.

6. The finder of fact in the trial is a jury of citizens

But other than these things, its the same thing here as there.

However, China can't afford to jail people like they do in America, if they did they would need to throw 500 million people in there. See the incarceration rates us vs china.

But if the Indian audience upvotes them they will rise to the top.
10x the price huh? Buy a copy of Windows install in virtual box and you now have Netflix. See how easy that was?

The point is that NF can be made to easily run on any computer and that you are choosing not to run it. That's a different situation than what is happening with Android.
I agree that fragmentation will ruin the HN experience. I want MORE Indian news here, not less! DC, I don't know.
I hated to post this, because it's a political speech, but I think it's important historically because I think it shows the tables starting to turn on this issue. Lord knows I don't want to see a dozen political speeches on HN a day, but I believe this is unique, it's very tech-related, and its a topic the community has shown a great amount of interest in.

I imagine once the rest of the professional political class really understands what a total disaster TSA has created there will be speeches like this everyday. The bandwagon will be full and more will be clamoring to get on-board. (and yes, I know they've already started, but this seems to be the first higher-profile example of a politician just really letting loose on the issue).

I still remain skeptical that the politicians can fix it, but perhaps we'll enter a period where lots of speeches are made and fingers pointed. For those of you who are political junkies, it will be very interesting to see how the national parties respond to this over the next two years.
private companies censor things all the time. it's still called censure.
Surely there's no coordination of censorship going on.
It's legal for entities outside the government to censor things. IANAL so if I'm wrong let me know. But my understanding is that censorship is perfectly fine for any company.
Why does one mean it isn't the other? Clearly it's both. It's just not government censorship, for which there's a bit of text in the US bill of rights.
It's hard to try evidence lawyers won't produce in a court of law. Because they're fucking lying to you but won't to courts - that has consequences. Lying to you has none. At least, none that they care about.
Do you use the official build of Google Chrome?
> It's reckless to even consider such restrictions.

Ironically, you're criticizing a professor as being reckless simply for proposing certain ideas in an academic paper...
>There is a non-trivial possibility that Facebook/Google etc become lumbering giants just like MSFT.

It might already be true, how do you distinguish between a lumbering giant and not without the help of hindsight? The public consensus on such things lags a few years behind reality.

What signs have you seen in 2013 that Google is not a lumbering giant?
I did something very much like this for a few years. Ultimately though it's only as good as your inputs and your inputs aren't very good (as noted in the article).

On top of that the cumulative probability gets really bad because the predicted spread is never very high. The best you'll see is around 60-70%. .7 ^ 10 = .028, so while your expected value may well be positive if everyone else is using a poor strategy, your overall probability of winning is still low. At least in leagues with a lot of players (the one I was in had over 10,000).

I humbly propose that if you have perfect agents, picking up 5 people with 3 cars is an incredibly simple problem.

It's only difficult because Uber has to deal with humans - will their cell phone be charged? Will they hear the notification on their phones? What if they forgot to indicate that they've taken the rest of the day off? What if they claim to be available but are actually in the restroom at a fast food restaurant? It's supposed to be a 6 minute drive but what if they make a wrong turn? What if they glance quickly at the map of where they're supposed to go but saw it wrong, then muted the turn-by-turn so they could blast some daft punk? Working with human agents is hard.

If you have always-online self-driving cars, then you've already done the hard part. Directing them where to go is trivial.
Awesome conversion. Didn't expect the crowd here to get this excited about mobile living.

Myself and a few friends are working on slightly more 'extreme' motorhomes (based on military 6x6's), designed for unimproved roads and long-term travel.

We're all somewhat independently employed, so the transition to a mobile life is a no-brainer. Hope to see more people in our industry take advantage of their freedom, too!

It's beaten by half a dozen sync Ruby implementations, which should be a pretty good hint that something else is going on.

Lack of HTTP keep-alive is probably the most obvious thing holding it back.
Have reviewed them again, for what is likely the dozen'th time - no objective problems.

Could you share your subjective one?

I was being serious, dang - did you read my comment in a positive light first?
So the motivation was money. I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
I'm guessing this information is next to useless. All they get is an IP address, and all it signals is someone is using a device. It is highly unlikely this is a useful signal for anything given the fact that they're getting much better user IP data from practically dozens of other services people use.
Bill Evans and Hiromi are, for me, in the top 3 with Chick. Hiromi is a monster of technique whereas Bill is a pioneer of the Chopin Debussy style, when most jazz pianists then didn't have roots in the classical world.
It does not bode well when even the status page itself is down. I will be interested to hear how this outage occurred.
This is a real shame. I wish we could do something to stop this insanity. Their dogmatic approach to D&I is really scary honestly.

On top of that, you are marked if you are a "cis white male". It doesn't matter if you are an immigrant. It doesn't matter if you are jewish (less than 0.003% of the global population, so one of most minority minorities), doesn't matter if you have a rich ethnic background with white skin. Why can't people just get rid of the racists and sexists without going crazy?
I definitely trust Google/Outlook/ProtonMail/Fastmail with my data a lot more than any of the web hosting companies.
>...Hayes and other BitMEX executives instead actively worked to skirt compliance programs and bragged about flouting U.S. laws, prosecutors say. Hayes allegedly said the founders chose to base the exchange in Seychelles to escape regulatory scrutiny.

In other news, the current administration seeks to increase entrepreneurship and employment. Fed chair Janet Yellen claims that taxes aren't too high in the US, but too low elsewhere.

Ironically, cryptocurrencies wouldn't be as relevant if not for the high cost of regulatory compliance. Speculation wouldn't be as rampant if interest rates were set by the market.
Will you provide real-time stats? Could I see that user A523498BD5352F is currently in my store, and what other stores they frequent? If it's only aggregated data after the fact, that alleviates some of the concerns.
I totally missed that because of my screen resolution. I need to scroll to see that.
The thing started in China in December, maybe earlier. US population that travels to China tends to be young, active, connected in business circles. Brushes the thing off like a minor cold, without skipping a beat. So community transmission in the US could have been going as early as December, just not in the circles that are particularly affected by that virus.
Actually this isn’t the only way.

If financial intermediaries like Coinbase start extending credit or engaging in fractional reserve banking, then yes, you can “create more Bitcoin.”

Just like how in the gold standard, you could still create more gold backed dollars by making a mortgage loan...

Kind of funny how all these new monetary wizards miss out on this simple fact.
I got instructions from more than one party this past fall on how to fill out a ballot and mail it early and etc.
Yeah good point, it’s certainly possible that Amazon.com and AWS have significantly different security/privacy policies/practice.
An amazing body of work.
I’m beyond impressed. Thoughtful, well designed, and well researched.
I never liked the Dracula theme much, but I’m going to snag this just to support great stuff being put out into the world.
Nobody uses the term identity politics to mean white supremacism. Even the left don't use the term that way.

Marxism is not the right label to describe the post-1950s left wing politics in most countries. Yes, there were fringe wings that were openly Marxist but most left wing politics was committed to incremental change through the ballot box, not total revolution.

They aren't “very close”, they are exact synonyms.

At least I perceive shades of difference in how they're normally used.

"Leftism" is used to refer to a rather extreme, virulent ideology, typified by the conviction that conservatism of any kind of a sort of evil that needs to be wiped out or suppressed. There are no mainstream parties in the west formally espousing leftism, although in the USA the Democrats are now becoming dangerously close to that with their explicitly racial/gender based appointment of Kamala Harris, and some of their recent demands to take Fox News off air.

Left wing politics is a far more mainstream movement found throughout the democratic world. Its focus is typically on economic issues that affect the working classes, they advocate for nationalisation and/or the general pulling of power to the centre, they recognise the legitimacy of their conservative oppositions and in many European countries often enter into coalitions or power sharing arrangements with them. Left wing politics is, at most, the politics of Bernie Sanders or Jeremy Corbyn. And in its more common instantiation, it's more like the politics of Tony Blair. Left wing politicians have up until very recently not been overtly promoting "leftism" in the hard-core sense seen today, but that's now changing.

To me the key difference is whether someone recognises disagreement as legitimate. Even when in very strong political positions, throughout most of the 20st century left wing parties have not tried to suppress their opposition. The exceptions are of course the communist countries, but those parties are hardly referred to as left wing, even though technically they were very much so.
I’m sure the industry wants Congress to weigh in on this, since they’ve done their part in ensuring the corruption of that institution. If the courts end up siding with CA on this, you can be sure Congress will be voting on this shortly after.
If Tether and Craig Wright were smacked down propmtly they might make our systems more robust, but letting their bullshit drag on for years and years hurts the ecosystem IMO.
I do ship outside the US. Tindie doesn't have an option to allow all countries, so I need to add them as requested. Hit me up if your country isn't on the list.
Or maybe CockroachDB?
And the counterpoint is that spending money correctly is what prevents wartime with major foes.
For me, one of the deep pleasures of camping is the "you'll live" revelations. Or travel in general.

Beautiful places are still beautiful in bad weather. Often less crowded to boot. If things get really bad, the car is dry and has a heater and there are lessons for proper equipment needs for next time.

I mean it's a multi-year project. Statistically, the weather isn't going get much better, nor is six month forecasting tied to a specific weekend.

Camping skill is the only practical area for improvement. The only one in a camper's control...and to be cliche, most of that skill is mindset.

Short of lightning strikes, grizzly bears, and freezing, I'll live through the weather. Good weather is nice, but it's not a need unless I need something to worry and complain about.

There's satisfaction in a tent that keeps the rain out and a bag that keeps the warm in that is harder to find at home with its running water, electric range, and shingled roof. Maybe it's I don't much think "you'll live" there. Because I don't have to pay much attention.
Not OP. IMO, nobody. Not a single human has the "right" hands.
I remember the Fry's Electronics original location in the heyday of the home-built PC days. IIRC they had electronic components, shareware, PC components, and odds-ends before branching out into appliances, convenience store, pr0n, and other items.

Also, I remember the Fry's (not electronics) general store at Kooser and Meridian in San Jose.
Inheritance is essential for the people still living in the house or on the family farm, although that's kind of a minority these days.

Ironically many of the historically wealthy couldn't maintain the assets. The UK is full of stately homes whose owners couldn't maintain or sometimes even heat. The nicer ones have been given to the heritage industry; many of the rest went through periods of requisition and/or dereliction. A random example that is now IBM Hursley: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hursley_House
This isn't Slack; it's a site created on http://postatic.com which seems to be an online community generator.

I think the reason this is getting so much traction on HN is because of a false association.
Do you have any comments on using this technology for (1) health information and (2) financial information?
Why do I need flags to begin with? tar and untar would have worked fine.
Well, you might need both. The POM only contains information on how to build the project, while the IntelliJ project file also contains extra information that might be personalized, things like tab size, JDK version, and millions of other things. My policy is to only put the POM into VCS, and keep the .idea stuff only on the local box.
It did indeed share local files. That was part of how they were able to handle the network load. If it found a file with a matching hash of something it had licensed, it shared it. Check out https://launch.co/blog/did-you-know-spotify-uses-peer-to-pee...

It was well known at the time. How do you know it was not sharing other files it found?
Thanks for posting the only useful addition to the thread. :)

So the authority is still looking into it. They could still reach an agreement with Facebook on what to do. Then Facebook would probably be shielded from whatever liability those actions would supposedly cause (their excuse "we might make mistakes"), because "we were told to".
Translate and adapt it into Spanish.

Imagine being a woman and having to tell people you’re working with cock. It’s funny for guys but it’s not the greatest for gender diversity. They mention in the linked post that this is one of the main driving reasons, not a vague lack of humor.
Exactly. This prosternation before american PC is depressing, to say the least.
"Testimonies from people who experienced harassment or awkward situations ..."

These re-namings always follow the same pattern. Some professionally oppressed people contact a project, provide mostly secret evidence to members of the project's progressive faction.

After the re-naming they are never heard of again.

Coq isn't pronounced like "cock" at all by the French. As a first crude approximation, it is more like "coke".

In the Oxford dictionary, "cock" means "a male bird, esp. a male domestic fowl". There's cockroach, cockpit, cockney ...

So U.S. cultural imperialism wins again.

I'm saying this as a person who had problems with the NNTP "suck" program, so I do understand aversions to names, if they are legitimate.
Fair. And I should have stated my main objection is that I don't find some of these surprising. Not that I don't agree they are slow.

Many of these will remain slow because they are far from the critical path of most end user systems.
LOL! That's a phrase I haven't heard in awhile.
I was wondering which is your market. I mean, who is going to use a service like this? Or which are typical use cases of it?
Given that zombies usually don't obey the laws of thermodynamics, if I lived in a place like Whittier I'd probably try to harness them to some kind of hamster wheel driving a generator.
"Verizon hasn’t made a formal proposal to AOL, and no agreement is imminent, said the people, who asked not to be named because the discussions are private."

I'm calling bullshit.
> It looks about the same now as it did then...

That is really impressive. The first thing I noticed looking at the building is how well it looks for 1956 construction and particularly given harsh environment. I suppose it's a testament to the great work of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
> I said that you shouldn't eat at sit down restaurants in the US if you have a problem with it.

I expressed no opinion on this point.

> I guess if you want external validation of what is fair you can make it complicated

Even if I don't want external validation of what is fair, it is still complicated enough that I need to pull out a calculator after a date with my wife.

> I was trying to focus on tips not being extra compensation in that specific situation.

Agreed, and this is the reason I tip according to local norms when I'm in the US.
UPnP and DLNA are a disaster of incompatibility and terrible usability. I've tried to use various UPnP/DLNA audio streaming hardware for almost 10 years and they have all had terrible issues. Most required the device controlling streaming to always be on, which is terrible for battery life and plain broken on tablets, etc. that go to sleep. Some only worked with Windows 7 media player's 'play to' command. I had to go through crazy setups like running multiple different UPnP services (bubble UPnP) just to make virtual UPnP devices that fixed bugs in my real UPnP devices, and even then things would mysteriously stop working.

Stay very, very far away from UPnP/DLNA. It's borderline false advertising IMHO to claim it streams music.
That's an argument for why objects can't be accelerated to and beyond c. But there's a loophole for objects that are already traveling faster than c when they're first created.
In what way is militarization going to defend against the likes of the Sony attack?

The government is not equipped to handle this kind of security. You can't post marines in US data centers to keep out foreign attackers, that's not how it works. Offense isn't a defense; MAD doesn't work when you can't reliably attribute attacks or the attacker doesn't have any meaningful infrastructure to retaliate against.

The best thing the government could do in this context is provide money for public security research and for security audits of popular software. But that has nothing to do with the military or offensive capability, and the government seems intent on going the other way with their renewed attacks on the widespread use of encryption.
I don't know about the Tahoe area, but I get a lot less gas mileage when driving the hills of Los Angeles. It's not just the inclines, but even the flat-ish roads are very curvy, which involves a lot of braking and then acceleration.
"I want to coach Division 1, so I'm going to cheat my students through the system so that I can get the job."

Yeah, that benefits hundreds of college athletes. It also screws over anyone that is trying to honestly do well and competing for the same positions. If you think it benefits college athletes to not get an education, then maybe don't give them degrees.
Ah, the weird extra arguments is something that I had noticed as well. And I have to admit, with some shame, that I have not taken the time to look into why.
I would like to see something better too. I know that these low level protocols are all like this but I think at some point the overhead of something like JSON (the quotes, brackets, etc) would definitely be better than dealing with fixed and variable length fields and a lot of regular expressions especially if you want a lot of implementations created to spread a new protocol.
The PLOS paper brings up that question, too. Overlapping fields of PRF proposed: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjourna...
There have been hundreds of studies in the last 20 years demonstrating via the study conclusions that for most humans, noise matters, control over one's space matters, including ability to adjust light, temperature, personal visibility and privacy, and that these can be measured by sick-leave absences, and other fairly simple productivity and personnel-cost measures.

The discussion about open offices has been in the general media for quite a while as well. For example: a few days after the original inquiry, in the general media:

"The Open-Office Trap"

By Maria Konnikova - The New Yorker - January 7, 2014

http://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/the-open-office-t...

This gives a lay-person's history and survey of the economics and loss of productivity of open offices.

Excerpt quotation from Konikova:

"In June, 1997, a large oil and gas company in western Canada asked a group of psychologists at the University of Calgary to monitor workers as they transitioned from a traditional office arrangement to an open one. The psychologists assessed the employees’ satisfaction with their surroundings, as well as their stress level, job performance, and interpersonal relationships before the transition, four weeks after the transition, and, finally, six months afterward. The employees suffered according to every measure: the new space was disruptive, stressful, and cumbersome, and, instead of feeling closer, coworkers felt distant, dissatisfied, and resentful. Productivity fell.

"In 2011, the organizational psychologist Matthew Davis reviewed more than a hundred studies about office environments. He found that, though open offices often fostered a symbolic sense of organizational mission, making employees feel like part of a more laid-back, innovative enterprise, they were damaging to the workers’ attention spans, productivity, creative thinking, and satisfaction. Compared with standard offices, employees experienced more uncontrolled interactions, higher levels of stress, and lower levels of concentration and motivation. When David Craig surveyed some thirty-eight thousand workers, he found that interruptions by colleagues were detrimental to productivity, and that the more senior the employee, the worse she fared.
