I'm simply going to state a very plain truth.

A publicly traded company has silenced the current Lame Duck President.

Guild wars when?
When people say anonymity online is bad and that having people use their real names would make people more polite, I point them to facebook comments.
I would recommend you start with whatever looks best to you, then keep trying solutions with friends who are up for it until you've found something that works. This question is also really dependent on your own and your friends' threat models so general advice is only marginally useful here.

Personally I use Telegram because there's a distribution of it on F-Droid. If you do you should consider telling your friends to only use secret chats since only those are encrypted end-to-end. Signal has some nice features like not storing your in-app contacts on their servers and the "sealed sender" feature which largely hides who is talking to whom in a conversation.

As for the others I can't really comment on them. Maybe another option to consider is Briar[1] which works entirely peer-to-peer over Tor, Bluetooth or the LAN and defers sending until both devices are online at the same time (which might work for phones).

True, I don't think any such position is skill related. It depends on connections and relations to a large degree.

But in some cases it is not, every company has an interest to find adequate replacements and young successors. And some of those will inevitably be women.

I don't think it is a good idea to discriminate for intrinsic characteristics.

Some people won't get a job because they are male. Those people are discriminated by the state. Especially Germany should treat lightly here in my opinion, even when the justification sounds better at first (It isn't much better if you think a bit about it).
iMessage and only be friends with iPhone users /s
That's an iOS specific new feature. Signal has had backups for a long time now.
So basically you are saying:

- Asking for peace isn’t enough

- And. He really needs to stop believing his claim of fraud?

Wild. Am I crazy or is everyone else right now?
What theme is the blog?
beta.

Closed beta, that too.
It's not one private body. I think in this case one might say all MtGox customers would be asking miners to do that.
This is Mt. Gox getting thrown to the wolves. I think there is a constant undercurrent of fear, and rightly so, in the bitcoin community that regulation will mean the end of bitcoin. Also, for those who are speculating heavily on BTC, anything that undermines confidence is a direct threat to their holdings. So here we have a potential massive fraud (or fear-compounded incompetence) and publicity discussing fundamental security flaws with the BTC system. A double threat. It's a perfect rationaly-self-interested reaction to try to distance ones self from threats as quickly and thoroughly as possible, but I can't bring myself to think of this as anywhere near altruistic or civic minded.
I appreciate the amount of research that went into it, but in reality this all falls squarely into domain of pedantry, because you close void tags either way and move on to more important matters.
This is beautiful and would show how the community could deal with a critical situation without any kind of government intervention or regulation.

Upd. Also, in this case, I think an acquisition is a very probable option.
> But if it would restore public confidence in the protocol and economy

It actually scares me. If any private body or group could somehow amass 51% of the miners in some way, they would then control the currency.

Looking for a Senior/Staff-level software engineering role (not a "DevOps Engineering" one). I'm the epitome of "jack of all trades"... over the past decade I've worked at companies from 30 to 30,000 people doing front-end, back-end, architecture, cloud, integration, modernization, greenfield, and several other types of dev work. If you're looking for somebody that does software in true DevOps fashion instead of chucking it over a wall them I'm your ticket!
I hope they plan to design them as rolling data platforms. Postal trucks are ideal for collecting hyperlocal data. The 360 camera is a good start, assuming it can record. Imagine getting a completely up to date Street View every day. Imagine getting hyperlocal weather data every day.

And more importantly, that same data collected over time. Being able to monitor the daily changes in weather or traffic or erosion.

With the right contracts in place, it might even be profitable for them to go off route just to collect data.

VimClojure is fine until you want to play with something linked against a 1.2.x version of Clojure. Then VimClojure falls down and you have to fall back to emacs (or a standalone REPL) for compatibility.

http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/...

The next major release of VimClojure should solve this dependability issue but it doesn't seem to be a high priority to its maintainer (last release was nearly a year ago).
Cuba? I'm not a North American, but isn't all the trouble with Cuba over now?

I recall a few months back that Nelson Mandela was on the terrorist watch list in the USA - And as such he wouldn't / couldn't enter the country.

Perhaps this is one of those "laws" that was forgotten?
Well to be fair there are very few movies I would watch more then once, while that is not true of music. For books and Movies I have no problem renting. Of course used books off amazon almost feels like renting because they can be so cheap.
From the "feed a man for life" department: http://www.emacswiki.org/ (That is, I recognize I am not pointing to specific issues, but this site is full of this sort of information. Sometimes hard to know if any given tidbit is up-to-date, emacs has been on the move lately.)
If only he knew that reddit is really a honeypot set up to catch would-be trolls like Zed.
The trick with using the help system is that Emacs uses very different terminology than many people expect. (He touches upon this in the article.) You get used to it, eventually, but it does add extra work upfront.

The easiest way for me to pick up the terminology was to skim through the info page for Emacs (C-h i takes you to the info pages). After that, apropos became quite a bit more useful.
I don't think that's a fair review of the article. He seems very well on the side of accepting progress, he is a scientist after all. He is simply saying: "Well, there are these problems we should do something about, and it looks to me they were caused by sedentarization and invention of agriculture". Hardly reactionary.
Some very smart people are just looking for a place where they can experiment and grow technically and do the basic things they love. If you can utilize these people without having them end up building and testing CRUD apps to justify the headcount, that's fine.

But other very smart people want not only to be doing interesting things, but also to be as close to the money as possible. What they work on needs to have an impact, and have some chance of setting the direction of the company.

If you accidentally hire that latter person into a role designed for the former person, they'll get bored, or, worse, irritated when they try to get close to the money and then rebuffed (or, worse, pigeonholed into something boring).

What I'm saying is, be careful with the notion that you can always find something for an A-player to do. Often, no.
Do highschools award degrees?
13"? E-book readers should be smaller, not larger. A phone size e-book reader would be perfect for fiction. It would be crazy lightweight, you could read all day without having to rest your arm to hold your book.

The size is also perfect for reading: your eye can focus on several entire lines simultaneously without any eye scan.

I have several nice e-readers, but I always read on my phone because the size is much more comfortable. That forces me to sit up so I can rest my arm in my lap.

In the dark an OLED screen will always be superior to e-paper due to the lack of a backlight.
Based on your postscript this may not help, but how about giving yourself the mission of getting outside the house and doing something at least once each day, with a sense of purpose?

"I really don't feel like it, but I am going to walk to the park/bridge/waterfront and back. I am going to get a beer/coffee/tea at this place I've heard about. I will walk to the store and pick up groceries. It doesn't have to be anything miraculous or life changing and I don't have to meet or talk to anybody--I just have to try, because it will be worse if I don't."
I'm tempted to say that algorithms are perfect for art collectors. Most conceptual art is inscrutable to its viewers (and requires some kind of exegesis to understand what the artist was trying to do), and presumably most code will be too. Maybe galleries can post version control logs to provide insight into the process...

ps - I love Kernighan's handwritten Hello World, I'd hang that on my wall, if I could afford it.
Maybe, kinda, sorta.

If you didn't decide to interview him, or set it up, you should have asked the person who did (in this case, your boss) what it was about the person that caught their attention in the first place. Why did your boss think this was worth pursuing? With that knowledge in place, it would help shape your questions.
For me, it's one-time purchase vs. subscription. For example, I was happily paying 1Password every couple of years for a long time, and left when they made it clear subscriptions were the future.
>serve their interests.

Serve the interests of the majority... and even like a corporation sometimes they don't even manage to do that.

Human organizations kinda stink sometimes, although I wouldn't really endorse another kind...
There’s a difference between the transport and the protocol. For instance I’ve used Redis fronted by TLS in the past. Initial connection did get more tricky for sure, needing to have the certs in place to first connect.

However after the connection was established with OpenSSL I was able to run all the usual commands in plain text and read all the responses in plain text. Having transport layer encryption on the TCP connection didn’t effect the protocol itself at all.
Global warming has nothing to do with turning on the air conditioner. It certainly didn’t help anyone save their homes from forest fires in California or Australia. Even if you had ACs you wouldn’t want to live in a place hotter than the Sahara desert (when humidity is taken into account). So you’ll move.

And let’s say you do live in a good area. An exodus of a billion people all over the world trying to move into places like yours will get nasty.

Drastic changes in climate patterns also risks the food supply.
> It's reasonable to say that the Chinese could produce 10,000+ 3rd or 4th gen fighters per year.

No it isn't, and it wouldn't most certainly would not maintain any of that capability within a few months of a conflict.

I'm sorry but this line of thinking is simply out of date. The proof is in the pudding: the Chinese themselves are not massing loads of cheap platforms, they're throwing everything into the J-20, putting an enormous amount of effort into fewer more expensive platforms. Just look at their navy. They have cheap catamarans by the dozens. Instead of building hundreds or thousands of those, they're putting serious investments into building large surface vessels which attempt to match America Burke class destroyers.

You seem to be under the impression that if, say China has 10,000 jets to 1,000 American jets where the American jets enjoy a 10:1 advantage that they would at a stalemate. That's just not true.

The CCP watched the first Gulf War with horror as they saw technologically superior American forces wipe out division after division of war veteran Iraqi troops. Their doctrine then was one similar to Iraq, relying on larger less sophisticated forces. The CCP's since trillions of dollars in investments in matching American capability is their assessment of that previous doctrine.
Lesson for startups is it's easier to start high and drop prices but fucking hard to bend user expectations and increase prices

Billionaire vampire is out, vampire billionaire is ambiguous though I think the YA romance industry has moved on since 2010.
I hope you are aware of Gemini which aims to do exactly that?
Then they probably made the right choice. Zuck has done far more to influence things in the past year than Wikileaks. I'm not saying Wikileaks hasn't done it's fair share, but as far as real impact to people around the world, Facebook has done more than Wikileaks.

What were the results of the Iraq information Wikileaks released earlier this year? Besides getting coverage in the papers?

Also, consider how much is being done in the business world because of Facebook. Apple, Microsoft, Google - three giants in the industry - are practically dancing to Facebooks tune, reacting. Entire industries are popping up around the social network.

And there was even a movie.

While I don't doubt the good WL is doing, Zuckerberg is doing far, far more than many realize.
There's plenty of awesome, legal, and free content out there, too: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1649855
Not to be callous, but no matter how tragic one war crime is, it doesn't rise to anywhere near the level of either the more recent Wikileaks data or, well, a lot of other news events from the year. That is to say, if the Baghdad air-strike video was the only thing Wikileaks did this year, than you wouldn't think Assange should be person of the year.
I've used it to pick out shirts with suits. I've picked out scarves based on my jackets. You can go monochromatic (shades of all one color) or you can do some cool three-color looks at the... points on the wheel? (sorry, I'm not so versed in the terminology)

We're talking about art here more than science, so there's no breakthrough right answer like in mathematics. My experience is that I'm more savvy and I start to notice the patterns, but my skill level isn't high enough that I can lecture on the topic intelligently. It's like, after doing all this stuff I have intuitions when shopping for clothing and dressing, and I tend to get complimented on what I wear, which didn't happen before I studied.

I hate vague answers like that - I wish I could give you something more concrete. It's not the "oh you just have to figure it out" whimsical idealism, it's that I lack the skill to give a more cohesive and concrete explanation... apologies for that. If you know anyone who is an excellent photographer or painter, and is also good at explaining things analytical, they might be able to provide more answers.
@ohquu: people calculate craploads of things on a daily basis. More often than not they're using calculators that look pretty much the same as those in the 70's. I want to make it easier, faster and more pleasant. I want people to be able to calculate things that right now they can't and aren't willing to learn how to.

"Much bigger" doesn't need to mean we're gonna send people to Mars. Solving even small problems for tens or hundreds of millions of people qualifies as "much bigger" for me.
Honest question ... Is that what the govt wants ... change your religion and you walk free? Why not change then? Are there people who have changed?
Hoffman was never arrested, I think you are thinking of Owsley. Hoffman was never a US citizen and I don't recall him ever getting into trouble.

As for the Analog Act, the UK's version is presumably watertight (it effectively bans smelling flowers, but not poppers because gay MPs objected to that being banned), but has not been tested AFAIK.
No the worst, just meh.. average.
Not sure why that'd be a natural assumption. Advances in technology, especially in communication technology could very well hasten the cycles.
Yes, I'm interested in trying to make it work with longer strings. Worst case scenario if it gets long strings it could just split it up into strings of length that it can handle. The speed seems to decreases rapidly with string length at some point eventually hitting a brick wall, the sweet spot seems around 1000-5000.
Sadly for you he is directly referenced in the bitcoin whitepaper written by the anonymous author Satoshis Nakamoto
I could agree with almost everything in your last paragraph, but you're still using loaded words. "Appropriated", for instance. Even "unpaid" carries (perhaps just to me?) the implication that it should be paid.

I would describe the same thing like this: The workers plus tools (capital) create value. The workers don't get all the value produced; capital also gets a cut.

You can say that this is morally right. Or you can say that this is necessary, because the capital isn't invested out of the goodness of the capitalist's heart. We have to give them some payback if we want them to buy the tools. The alternative is to have only the tools that our in-house workers create, which is usually a sub-optimal situation.

Now, any given situation can still be exploitation of the workers (in the common rather than axiomatic sense), and still be morally wrong.
except that it makes no sense in game theory.

The first state to do it will see its economy shrink, and it will be bought by other who do not.
Somehow the question mark got lost in your submission title.
I wish there was an easy answer to encryption and security, but it seems like an arms race a la "The Cassini Division". No matter how you build a system there are always more inputs to compromise... and the attackers never give up.
The solution is to spin off sections of the company, so that the parent works more like a holding company.
So now it's all Google's fault!
I just looked at their page, and both the "contact us" and "home" links don't have "nofollow" in them.
On a side note, I met a couple today who decided to go to the super bowl, and claimed that they were dropping $3k per ticket, not including air-fare and hotel. They didn't want to have nose-bleed tickets, but they didn't need to be front row with the VIPs. What kind of income do you generally suppose someone would have to make to afford that kind of expenditure?
Imagine if you were the agent who grabbed the laptop, and you accidentally bumped the power button. Or if you were the forensic tech, and you accidentally triggered a reboot of some sort. No pressure!
That is good advice if you already know a couple of languages well. It is terrible advice for a beginner because they end up spending most of their time on configuration/syntax/build process etc rather than learning the fundamentals of programming (it sounds like the OP is a beginner).
You wouldn't need much of a strip to land. A plane capable of carrying 6 pounds could land with a couple yards of short or medium length grass, and you could probably just dump it without doing damage beyond minor repairs.
Visual thinking, a more closely related subset of diagrammatic reasoning (which need not be visual, incidentally), is in no shape or form "privileged". Visual thought is in fact closer to the general form of thinking that might be found in other sentient creatures who are not "privileged" with human language. Stated another way, diagrammatic thought is closer in shape and form to domain general pattern recognition. Reasoning, or "illation", is of a peculiarly non-linguistic nature, such that you'd be hard pressed to point out, like Achilles, to the Tortoise, just what it is that makes a conclusion of reasoning one that necessarily follows from some set of premises, unless you made use of some diagrammatic method.

Not sure why you're arguing a priori that all thought must be "vernacular" - code for "linguistic", I'd assume. But thought is not merely verbalizing or grammatizing everything.
Thanks. Brython looks more like what I was looking for. Everyone's porting code into Javascript but I think a better browser can be built with more language support.
A lot of the Windows security updates require restarts. It's not a dissimilar problem. And OS patches have to happen on shared systems, Exchange servers, Sharepoint servers, domain controllers, etc. Uptime is more important on those than a cell phone by any objective measure.

edit - Also, Microsoft has complicated relationships with many large vendors and probably tests on a LOT of permutations for each patch vs whatever Google does for Android. I am surprised to find myself sympathizing with Microsoft.... that being said, this is digressing. MSFT should have a universal fast track for 0days and decouple it from the standard upgrade process. 90 days should be enough, and have no real problem with Google's actions.

Being "artists" was just an example. I'm thinking of everything else that can't be automated (although virtually perhaps in the future everything, even art, will be automated). My point was that we simply need to find new ways of satisfying ourselves - whatever that is.
You posted this same comment twice, and four hours after I originally suggested Anne might be a dog. Could you not at least have gone for a cat?
After reading the first few lines of this post, I though it would be some complicated hack about function pointers.

The actual solution is much simpler (to understand and to use, I imagine) and that made me smile, nice one!

They estimate in their chart that Athletic trainers have a 0.007 chance of being automated, the third lowest chance after therapists and dentists.

it's hard to know exactly what they class as "Athletic trainers". For Olympic athletes, there will always be staff. For the rest of us, what would that "unlikely" automation of the coach look like? Perhaps it would start with a movement sensor on the wrist? A smartphone app to track and recommend exercise?

That's not looking unlikely to me, it's looking like it's already here in plain sight:

This method of storing replays frequently leads to brokenness when the game logic updates due to patches. IL2: Sturmovik had replays like this and if you ran an old replay on a newer version, the replay planes would end up running off the runway or similar.

IIRC, the Starcraft 2 beta keeps old versions of the game engine around to let you play back older replays.

A similar technique is occasionally used in non-server-based multiplayer games - here's a Gamasutra post-mortem for _X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter_ where sending inputs across machines is discussed: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3374/the_internet_suck...
"bit tarpit" has a nice ring to it. Or maybe "bithole". Though I'm now inescapably, desperately trying to come up with something legitimate that includes "tubes"...
