Ahh cool! That's way better. I thought it was just channel bonding.

I can still easily imagine a conflict where your signaling IP and your media IP are different in VoIP, but binding connections to IP addresses is pretty reasonable.
My view - based on no evidence, just reasoning from what we know - is that China are scared of Github.

They can't shut it down fully, because doing so would shut down their software engineering capability (it has got that important). And people can host basically anything there, including anti-censorship software.

Attack feels like a power play to me. Either to pressurise Github into censoring for the PRC - "block the repos we hate, or we DOS your whole service again".

And/or to build a local competitor. The more Github is down, the more it is considered "anti-China" in China, the easier to build a local competitor.

This is all just my immediate hypothesis from the news. I'd love to see somebody who knows more about software development in China to say what might be really going on.
Do you happen to have any links to any of those papers? I would love to read them.
From the XFINITY WiFi FAQ[1]:

> Does the new Home Hotspot impact my Internet speeds or data usage?

> The broadband connection to your home will be unaffected by the new feature.

Doesn't sound consistent with the prioritization claim since prioritization still implies the speed may be affected by the guest network. If you're right, then that's kind of a bold (misleading) thing for Comcast to say in their FAQ.

If the author is doing this by using the neighbor's WiFi (as mentioned in some other comments), then I don't see how this has anything to do with XFINITY WiFi specifically, or any loopholes - stealing bandwidth from a neighbor could be done (in theory) with any open/accessible WiFi connection of a neighbor.

This tells us more about the pre-scientific state of psychology itself in the mid-20th century than it tells us about either the three patients or the psychologist.
Yes, but they don't parameterize the sort order on every sortable table, or the limits used in pagination, or the custom join expressions ORM developers inevitably write.
This surface area is roughly equivalent to the size of Montana (or the size of Germany).
> you're underestimating the number of existing businesses who have .NET at their core

So, in essence, they are compounding one silly mistake (having .NET at their core) with a second one (using IIS)

Yes. This was a somewhat silly jab, but I couldn't resist.
This is one side of the coin -- it's getting easier to fabricate news.

The other side of the coin is that it's easier for people who spot fabrications to spread the word on popular blogs and such. When 60 minutes broke a story on what were supposed to be memos about a politician from the 1970s, bloggers who thought they looked suspiciously like they were typed in MS Word (and not on a typewriter) were able to link up with typography experts, do some solid analysis, and force CBS to issue a correction/apology. I've seen several bits of photoshopped "news" coverage exposed in recent years.
For most companies, IIS does have a better ROI than, say, Rails.
The linked page on what will happen in 2012 [1] doesn't increase my confidence in the information presented herein.

In a vacuum, you're right, it makes business sense, but the effect is negative for consumers. There are laws that prevent this type of behavior. If Apple uses its position in the mobile hardware market to leverage Google out of the mobile advertising market, there is a pretty sound basis for calling that anti-competitive behavior. IANAL, so I don't know the details, but this is not unlike Microsoft pushing third-party browsers off of the Windows by denying OEMs privileges based on the browsers they install by default. The key here is that Microsoft had a monopoly. I'm pretty sure that comes in to play in the government's ability to step in.
Yup, I'm in Ontario too. Fundamentally the issue is that electricity is an essential service, much of the demand is inelastic, and most of the costs are fixed. This is why you have embarrassing situations like having to raise rates to cover those fixed costs because everyone did too good a job of conserving [1].

But it's also why this kind of service is a good fit for a government monopoly. And if that means that some of the mostly-fixed-costs end up covered by the general tax base, that's fine with me: the general tax base is taken on a progressive model where the wealthy pay more into it, and there isn't really a good way to make the wealthy pay a different rate for power (yes, I'm on the upper end of middle class, and I absolutely deserve to pay more for these things than someone else who is just scraping by— not just more because I use more, but also more on a per-kWh basis).

Can anyone explain what would practically happen if the "Money stock" went back to last year's levels 6 months from now abruptly? Can that happen? If not, what's the implication of the increase? Assuming it's bad, how can an average person protect themselves from the negative effects? Should we be buying stock in stable Chinese companies? Bitcoin?
Good catch. To quote them: "the court rejected the argument that the lack of direct profit from releasing software under the GNU General Public License rendered the original Coolmail name unenforceable as a trademark, holding that distributing software for end-users over the Internet satisfies the “use in commerce” requirement."
So what's the point of complaining about PoW as if Gridcoin used that when literally 1 of the 2 sentences in the wiki says it uses PoS?
I wish Wiktenauer was around back in 2009.

All we had were a few early transcriptions, some pretty bad English translations of a few more popular works and that's it.

To get the good stuff you had to talk to people on international seminars and internet forums and do your own transcriptions and dig out library scans.

A huge shout out to Dierk Hagedorn from Hammaborg for providing the one of the first quality Early > Modern German translations for some of Liechtenauer's works.
The fear is that excessive money creation would create inflation. However, there's no sign of that happening any time soon. Given all the other massive massive shocks to the system, it doesn't seem that 350% was too much.
Whether they produced it or not - if they were requiring new hires to sit through it, they've got some ownership of it.

If the goal was to get people to be thoughtful about intentional or unintentional stereotypes they may hold, this was about as poor of a way of approaching the subject as possible. Starting out by telling every white person they were racist by the age of 3 is a pretty outrageous claim and a great way to shut down any constructive/thoughtful conversations about race.
I have, and originally intended to. However, I went with something a bit simpler to implement to start with, as I haven't played with ACE in any significant way and I built this over the weekend.

It's definitely something I would consider to support.
I can't help but be kind of sad when Yahoo buys a company knowing the technology/product they have acquired will most likely die on the vine.
PHP highlighting not working for me ...

I can believe there's the money, what I can't believe is why SurveyMonkey appears to be so entrenched, it's not a product that's hard to replicate (at least that's how it appears from the outside).

It also has a URL that really looks scammy. Whenever I see a mailing list mailout from Big Corporation X, and it has a SurveyMonkey URL, I think "this is pretty much the opposite of the professional image that they're trying to pitch." I don't know how they do it. I guess that's why I'm not making the mega-bucks ;)

However, it's a great exit for Wufoo, and congratulations to all of them.
Few things. kenjackson alluded to them

1. NC is using older generation parts (ex. their SoC is OMAP3621 which is at least two generations behind). This is off the shelf from Texas instruments who own the entire supply chain in design and foundry. Look at all the products using this technology -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Instruments_OMAP#OMAP3 -- now you are looking at pretty decent volume and per unit cost.

2. 6 million vs 15.4 is not very meaningful in per unit cost difference since both volumes are pretty huge. This is not accounting for the fact that other companies could be using this SoC. Also, Apple does custom design for thier own products so Samsung cannot sell off their chips to someone else. So Apple has to invest in design and all the associated costs in the development and obsolescense of the chips. Given the tight margins it is not surprising Apple buys gross manufacturing capacity below forecasts and let shortages occur.
I took a look on compete.com and it looks like their traffic was going down. It probably wasn't a winning site for them.

Looks like slinkset is currently not responding :( It would be nice if they kept it open till the May deadline they set.
This is good advice, and for the most part generally applicable to applying to any job.
Perhaps he's referencing to their post in response to Mint's acquisition [1]. I had the same response, although I don't use either service enough to have much validity behind my opinion: Wufoo seems to have been better executed than SurveyMonkey, at least from an UI perspective. That said, there's obviously more to this business than simply executing well.

And yet... and yet, the pilots I know who fly big jets brought their own GPS units into the cockpit decades before 'reliable tested' versions were certified. And used them. Because they were helpful, but not necessary.
I learned BASIC on an Apple II+ and I don't think Dijkstra was right on that one. It's really a different path than the one Dijkstra endorses, but it's not more or less wrong than any other.
I think that this leak will have the biggest effect. It bothered me enough that I emailed the entire college of computing at my university (I am a junior faculty member) to argue for setting ethical boundaries for big data projects, but, alas, I doubt that I will get a response.
Education quality is a red herring: the real concern is the abnormally large amount of student debt tied to these schools. When the student loan bubble burst (and believe me, it will), these schools are going to suffer as their customers opt for more affordable learning at community colleges and state universities which are increasingly offering distance-learning programs. But that's not even the bad part.

The bad part: like the subprime mortgage crisis, when enough people default on loans, and lending standards tighten, it will send ripples through the credit market impacting the entire economy. And like the subprime crisis you can anticipate a government bailout towards the student loan industry as so few people can afford to out-of-pocket their education in the United States.

It's going to be messy.
The server actually went down. I could not even ssh into it. I know I am not great at server admin but if it were just Apache config issues I wouldn't make such a big deal out of it.

Like I've said elsewhere, my beef with prgmr is not the servers or uptime, but rather their poor customer support. That's what I mean by "unreliable". It may seem quite desperate, but complaining on a public forum was my last resort to get any attention on the issue.

I appreciate it must be hard to run a single-man company (I know I run one too), but at least one needs to communicate with the customers.
> It all depends on what kind of thing you're into.

Yup. Great museums are cheaper in NYC than ND but owning a horse is much cheaper in ND.

Plane tickets between two specific locations are world price, but you also have to take where you live into account.

For example, going to Singapore from Reno costs more than going from SF or San Jose.
> This is my first time running a VPS server.

No offense, but it sounds like prgmr isn't for you. When they say "we don't assume you're stupid" they're really trying to say "we assume you won't call us for help, so we have low prices".
Mac Minis make terrible HTPCs. I replaced a Mac Mini + Drobo with a Windows Home Server + External DVD drive and I've never looked back.
I think the point is the fact that you're conflating what definitely appear to be configuration issues with provider issues seems to indicate that your expectations for support may be a bit unrealistic, especially for a provider like prgmr that specifically advertise themselves as being for users who will be able to identify the difference between the two.

I certainly understand your frustration, but I think the heart of the matter is that prgmr may be inappropriate for your needs rather than "prgmr is unreliable." I feel like they're quite clear about the fact that they're not for everyone.
I just chuck everything on github, my (empty) blog run off jekyll which is particularly suited for putting on github

Well, then this just basically becomes a philosophical argument about the justification for empiricism/inductive-reasoning. Can we axiomatically prove that just because the sun has risen in the morning for the last 10,000 mornings that it will do so tomorrow? No. Neither can be sure that just because every single major advance in physics has come because of simplification/beauty that the next one will come the same way.

But you'd be a fool to bet otherwise.
Holy cow. It's a small world! One of the main guys behind this is actually a great friend of mine. I've known him since kindergarten and he's now amongst the top researchers in the world. I wish I had something to do with it! He recently moved back to Canada from Copenhagen.

He has no clue what Hacker News is, but I'll email him this thread, perhaps he'll chime in if any of you have questions.
There is also a cost in creating bitcoins, prior to them running out of bitcoin numbers there will be an ever increasing use of electricity.

Another point is there is a limited supply, unlike other currencies where the possible supply is unlimited.
I haven't used tmux, but from some blog posts and the manpage it looks like some are:

* Each tmux 'server' (the equivalent of a screen 'session') can exchange windows with another server.

* Better support for vertical splitting.

* BSD License (this is important to some)
Wrong scenario. Black Hats can use it to repeatedly breach the physical security of an internal network. Plant a WiFi or mobile broadband relay, and you only have to physically be there the first time.
> Also, grad students have funding

In the hard sciences, yes. Much less so in other fields.
I used Pipes for RSS processing as well. I set up a rather convoluted system that let me forward email to SMS for free.

It used a weird mix of free services, including Yahoo Pipes and IFTTT. It went from email to RSS to Google Calendar to SMS. It was nice while it lasted, but now Google Calendar doesn't send SMS notifications so it's no longer possible for free.
Google is mostly focused on trying to kill URLs at the moment, both in their pages and Chrome.

Accessibility is "just" a side effect in their EEE war on users.
This was a godsend: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40873423-no-drama-discip...
Was Caterina Fake involved in any way with Yahoo Pipes? I believe she headed Yahoo Brickhouse at the time, but the timelines are foggy for me. Pipes is so unlike any Yahoo product.
Yeah I hate people that never read the Posted Article. I didn't this time.
Walled article, requires medium login, any other source to read from?
I’m sure we could have rustc generate a trampoline function directly on the stack like gcc can. What could go wrong?
Yes. Your argument that was “monocultural” societies are somehow more peaceful, and now more so than imperial rule, when the history of the 20th century demonstrates the opposite. Nationalism led to massive internal violence and attempts at creating new empires that ultimately led to subjugation of these states between two outside empires.
Build yourself a couple of Hexayurts[0] instead:

Just an observations -- nice to see other Atari ST users in this thread -- it was a unique machine at a time where very little did what it could do at it's price point between gaming/computing/animation/music/desktop publishing/software development. It was quite a capable foe to the Mac at the time.
> they are a type system feature and have nothing to do with FP

I suggested in a sibling reply that the use of type-theoretic notions in FP is a natural out growth of the initial motives of the FP paradigm. While I wouldn't think that FP languages must incorporate type-theoretic notions, it does seem to me fitting that many would, since type systems have been involved with the functional understanding of computation since quite early on. Do think that line of reasoning make sense?
"The people have chosen an autocratic government" - saying so is so unfair to us. Maybe people like me who desire for an unblocked Internet is a minority (when compared to the population in this country), but people who desire for safe milk and food, clean water and fresh air for their babies are not!

But on the other hand, I must say that your observations described in your first paragraph are correct. Take the recent Hong Kong protest for an example, almost all people I know, including the highly educated people, are "tricked" by the censored local newspaper and are not on the same side of the HK people, and that made me sad and irritated...
I agree that they were certainly a disciplined and flexible moving force. But I also think they were every bit as brutal as presented in books.

I'm not the most studied person on Mongol history but the impression I'm left with is that you can piece together accounts of the Mongol invasion in the texts of ancient russia, europe, china and the middle east. In russia they call them the huns, in europe there's a legend of "prestor john". All accounts share the same ruthlessness.
WGU, as I understand their model, provides certification of competency and information on recommended educational resources to help develop the competencies they certify, but doesn't actually provide education in the traditional sense.
I'm not claiming it's a solved problem; I'm claiming that the current solutions are lacking.

You can take it as standing on the outside and throwing stones, but it's not malicious. I want something better.
At the bottom of the article it says "No-© Update Your Footer
Disclaimer: this is neither a vote for nor a vote against content copyrights." Stating "No-©" does not put your content into the public domain. It's meaningless tripe. The disclaimer following that just demonstrates the authors ignorance and unwillingness to learn as they imply some recognition that this is odd.
So far, every single Fiber city is in a red state: GA, TX, NC, KS, TN, UT. My guess is you'll be waiting a long time.
Very dark. If we're all doomed by pointless selfishness, then I guess the discussion is over.
Right now there is a scandal going on somewhere, we just don't know where. Maybe Facebook, maybe LinkedIn, maybe Yahoo, maybe even Google. Maybe someone else, who knows. It always starts with a scandal. WorldCom, Enron, Lehmans, AIG, etc.. When a company can no longer meet growth targets to stay competitive they start lying to keep the capital flowing. They build a bigger house around the main house, but it's built out of cards and eventually it crumbles. This is what no one wants to believe, but it always happens. "It's different this time.™" It's never different. There's always going to be that incentive to cheat, and multiple people will take that bet. Someone eventually gets caught.

Once one of the titans fall, investors get scared and pull back. Companies like Google and Apple, with huge cash positions, are okay. Everyone else runs out of capital in a few months. The fallen firm lets 10,000 people go. Everyone else either does layoffs or initiates a hiring freeze. Now you've got 10,000+ locals out of work who can't get jobs. Now you've got 10,000+ people who are a few months away from defaulting on a mortgage they could barely afford in the first place because it was so expensive to live in an area propped up by cheap money and heavy leverage.

People start defaulting, and things get even worse. You've got a bunch of people in San Francisco who got $200,000 no interest downpayment loans from the city. They can't pay them back and the city gets stuck with the debt. Now there's public crisis.

Everyone and everything attached to the real estate market starts to freak out that home prices might decline. More panic, more layoffs, more defaults.

The dust settles and we start over.
There's a limit to db, something like 190, where the noise creates a vacuum followed by a blast wave, followed by a vacuum and so on.

Get something that makes that kind of noise next to a fire, then something on the other side of the noise (away from the fire) that either dampens or cancels the noise travelling away from the fire, and they might be onto something.
Indeed, that is one boorish tactic of making a banal, sycophantic comment. The use of a garbage strawman really put it into a higher echelon.

However I stick by my observation. The brain trust behind HN moderation, having moved on from their asinine slowbans and hellbans, have gone to something that they think is trickier. Only it's, again, hilariously naive.
Here is the first article: http://www.positronapp.com/seo-academy/1-the-basics-of-searc...
I have a term I call "win at money". You've won at money when you have enough capital to live comfortably for the rest of your life just on the interest from low-risk investment.

Can you win at money in software? Yes, but pretty much only by founding your own company or being among the first handful of employees at a startup that gets huge. On the other hand, you can make a comfortable middle-class living at software very easily.
Was the article worth reading? It had a very clickbait title.
Yes, I agree that is odd. While researching the specs, I noticed that the print size is usually given in inches and the speed and other parameters in mm. I will probably choose one unit as the default later on. I'm open for suggestions which one.
It's awesome, how much you can write about an iframe
The asking for the pro mode will definitely be fixed in the next release. Let us know if the app doesn't work when you come closer after a longer period of time. This was fixed and tested in the last update. Might be some minor glitches left for certain devices..
Your concern is legitimate, but you'd have to look at real data to see if the impact of that confusion is outweighed by the impact of forcing people to register for another payments service just to buy your product. I know that I don't want a PayPal account or Google Payments account. Without the option to use Amazon Payments, I would have not bought the Humble Indie Bundle. I suspect many people felt the same about the other payment options.
