How are you certain it was through-clothing? The first time I read the following I envisioned that it was under the clothes.

"She felt along my waistline, moved behind me, then proceeded to feel both of my buttocks. She reached from behind in the middle of my buttocks towards my vagina area."

"She then felt my inner thighs and my vagina area, touching both of my labia."

If it's through clothing then it really sounds like nothing more than a thorough security search that I've experienced many times just to get into a night club. The person patting me down didn't tell me she was going to touch my testicles, but a portion of her hand did touch my testicles, through clothing mind you. Or to write in the above fashion:

"She wrapped her arms around my torso and felt up and down my back, then she bent at the knees so that her face was in very close proximity to my penis and put her hands on my buttocks, squeezing them and moving them up and down."

"She then moved her hands around to the front and inside of my thighs, touching each of my testicles."

The way it is written, and the fact that this woman feels so violated, I imagined this was all going on under the clothes. I don't see how a standard through clothing pat down could be traumatic, but I guess everybody has a different threshold for acceptable behaviour. I have to admit it is a bit jarring to have your sensitive bits jarred by a stranger, but this is not sexual assault given the context.

She was told she was going to be searched, and she was searched. There's no need to have disclosure about every specific part of your body that is going to be touched when you consent to a search. Yes, a hand my briefly come in contact with your labia through your clothing. That should be understood by most adults with common knowledge and experience.

If this woman truly feels violated in the same way that a sexual assult victim does, then I think her sensitivity threshold is abnormal. That's not her fault, nor is it anybody else's to be held accountable for.
Entertainment, I would guess.
I added more details while you were writing this I think.

Your nerves don't care how heavy something is. Fine muscle control is just as intensive as anything to the nerves. Talking uses waaaay more nerve and muscle control than lifting heavy weight.

Breaks are required so that the blood can carry away waste, and replenish glucose and oxygen. That's all.
Meta: the title has an extra "A " at the start.
I'm not sure it's the specific issue of TSO decorum that Matt is trying to communicate, so much as it is the perceived lack of life experience and corresponding biases that HN commenters appear to bring to issues like this. We do, in the large, sound like a bunch of 17 year olds when we talk about the TSA.

I disagree with Matt about TSOs, but I think that's probably survivable. What might be less survivable is the fact that a group of people who are overwhelmingly privileged young male knowledge workers are spending time talking about politics at all. This is a crappy place to talk about politics. Discussions seem to invariably devolve to Rand-ian libertarian software developer vs. WTO protester software developers.
It's trendy.
I occasionally use http://www.errorhelp.com/ - it's a database of error messages and (hopefully) their fixes.
One would think that Computer Science, of all the fields, would have an open publishing system (where all papers are accessible to all). One would be mistaken....

Some authors do the right thing and post versions of their papers on their own websites. But many don't; and it is a shame.

I cancelled my ACM and IEEE memberships because I see these organizations are perpetuating this broken system. They already charge a lot for attending conferences; why make people pay for the conference papers? And libraries, etc. will pay for the journals anyways; why lock the papers behind paywalls? This just doesn't make sense.

Unless more researchers speak up and protest, nothing will change, unfortunately.
I wonder how well client-side SSL certificates could aid in this process. This way servers would only have the public key of a user and as long as the user doesn't compromise their private key they'd be safe.
You're repeating the big media newspeak. "Breaking the law" is not identical to "stealing." If you enter a place you are not allowed to be but do not deprive anybody else of property already in his custody, you are committing trespass and any number of other crimes, but you are emphatically not stealing. So please correct everyone you see making that argument.
Or to make it legally even more interesting: Always run a (video) phone call with a group of volunteers, who will act as witnesses. Is this even wiretapping?
This product solves a problem no one has! Fail fast and iterate fast!

Seriously, who the hell ever said, "Damn, as much as I love my iPad, the problem of an integrated touch screen and lack of mouse really annoy me! What I want is a PC and mouse without a screen!" Said no-one. Ever.
Very funn-

...oh, you're serious?

> US has outsourced a huge part of their intelligence gathering to BigTech.

And tech people and venture capitals have realised that there's money to be made out of data. And not just for data's sake, eg. selling it by the gigabyte, but by holding to that data and offering features with that data. Take for example Facebook. They don't "sell" the data by the gigabyte, but offer advertisements which are placed to people according to the data (with some algos which are also valuable, might even argue more valuable). Same with Google. However when it comes to DDG, I've yet to see DDG ask permission to my contacts for advertisement purposes. They've yet to create an account system to link all my devices' queries together for a more targeted advertising profile.

So to me this article seems fear mongering. Should I switch back to Google instead, now that some favicons are loaded through their services? I still think DDG comes out ahead.

I have tried using Searx but its user experience is nowhere near even DDG which lacks behind Google, too.
I used to LOVE that mag, but I don't remember it having programs. Wow, it was cooler than I knew!
Ive read a commenter here in HN remark on how the Voice recognition of the Kinect is something that is seriously being slept on/not paid enough attention too.
Without knowing all details, this is probably something you could no with a regular language (such as regular expressions).

Since this book is for the 'working programmer' (rather than the 'working scientist'), it seems reasonable to assume that the book will provide techniques that can be used in domain-specific problems.
Here's one with a handful of scans: http://www.zzap64.co.uk/c64/CommUser.html
I built Resourcey for the purpose of tracking Hacker News links (and any other similar sites.)

Then you[1] can just alternate between two sequences of passwords: password1, cleverme1, password2, cleverme2, ...

[1] Meaning: anyone who wishes to use the service but isn't willing to come up with an unending stream of genuinely different passwords for it.
I think that part of the problem with REST implied by the article is that it is purely request/response, rather than supporting full bidirectional communication.

To me the term "temporal coupling" is skipping some details, since the real consideration is the duration of the transaction vs the duration of the transport session. REST-over-HTTP can't directly represent transactions which span TCP sessions, and this is a problem if the transaction is very long or the connection is choppy.
To everyone commenting about their tax rates, that information is irrelevant without income levels in each area.

If Germany's tax rate starts at 40% from 40,000 EUR and California from $200,000; those are not equivalent.
There is a feedback problem people don't realize when a moral filter is added to an organization.

I observed in Financial Tech that when the world judged bankers as bad... it attracted self-identified bad people to become bankers. People who desired to do good filtered themselves out of the industry, leaving a really horrible selection of individuals running our national financial institutions.

Its really hard to digest, but I think self-identified good people MUST work at 'bad' places. Or else those places will become even worse as they become lost in a sea of real evil.

How Do You Like Them Apples?
I just kicked off a kickstarter to try to builds some experiments to deal with a lot of these issues. So far I'm not hopeful that there is enough interest in looking at these things differently to get it funded, but I'm going to build it anyway.

In the US we do tax income from wealth, just at a vastly lower rate than income from work. You could say that working to obtain wealth is penalized, whereas having wealth gets preferential treatment.
Same, been using for about a year and love them.
Someone dedicated to debugging complex software on strange environments probably writes no code at all, since they spend all their time investigating bugs.

Your comment is rudely dismissive of people giving you the product of their labor for free.
How does horizontal sharding help with HA/DR concerns?
I am a consumer; it bothers me exactly zero as it’s literally and figuratively true.

“Treat like transactions” or “treat like cash flows” or “treat like wallets” would give me the pejorative meaning presumably intended.
The CPU will probably be destroyed by radiation before long. I'd guess the key factors here were weight, power draw, size and perhaps performance. A radiation-hardened CPU probably didn't fit the bill. It's also super expensive.
Question from a point of ignorance - why would you target 32bit for something that is being actively developed?

Are we not at a point where 64bit should be the expected target?
I'm 21 years old, going to graduate from college in a year, and reading this comment makes me want to pursue this type of data science work. For every school or personal project I've done, the joy for me has been the collecting, organizing, and analyzing of data.
> Usage in electronics is probably less than 1% of the demand for gold

It's actually 7.5%. Maybe you consider that fringe. How does it compare to bitcoin?
Going full-time first could work, but it can also turn into a trap (speaking from experience). Bronze handcuffs, if you will.

For someone starting in full time but looking to go freelance later, I recommend:

* Spending well below your means. I can "afford" my mortgage, taken out when I got my first full-time job, but I presently can't afford to not have the full-time job.

* Take small jobs early and often. No job-finding method seems to work better, for everyone involve, than word of mouth, and that network takes time to build up. I'm hampered by own lack of a freelance-specific network.

* Check out the Homework podcast (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/home-work/id513251648?mt...). One of the hosts makes his living as a freelancer.
I think you can teach her to code, while she still goes to high school. The 'why' is not explained convincingly enough.
What is sass?
I'm shocked that Amazon is killing off their payment service. I'm also shocked that the first I'm hearing about it is Kickstarter moving away from that platform.

From my vantage point, I can't imagine why they would kill off that service. It seems like easy money, with very little risk involved for them. The only thing I can think of is some change to the PCI rules that make it a less appealing business to be in. Anybody know why they're exiting that market? Google searches haven't turned up anything useful.
There are plenty in the 60 and up crowd for whom smartphones are confusing things because they obfuscate the entire purpose of owning a cell phone: making calls. My parents both still have clamshell style flip phones because they don't use their phones primarily as an entertainment or computing device, but as actual phones. This kind of phone would be a great halfway point for them: give them the functionality of a smart phone without making their phone confusing.
Woah. Reading the comments here is absolutely surreal, am I still on HN?

Traditional high school is absolutely not a place where you go to "learn how to socialize" or you get to learn all about "history" and being a "well rounded person. It's a place where, for the most part, you go to get babysat so your parents can go to work and not have to worry about you.

Very surprised at the reaction here, where in a different context I'd imagine the same people would be talking about the failures of public education instead of how much a sixteen year old is supposedly missing out on by dropping out.
Anyone wondering what ever happened to Zed Shaw's "Coming Code Bootcamp Destruction?"

Here's the "Open letter"

Some of the features sound neat. The question in my mind is, how do the jobs on the Crondom server trigger local scripts? Also the name is both cool and terrible: it reads like condom everytime I glance at it.
Yeah, the main problem with this approach is all the mouseless extensions I found for webkit (vimperator, surf, uzbl, etc) were built around Vim bindings instead of Emacs bindings. For some reason all the Emacs-centric ones (Conkeror, Keysnail) are based on Gecko.

Maybe this is because Gecko's extension mechanism is worlds better than the one that ships with Chromium, (which requires you to recompile the C++ just to change the key bindings for menu items) and the crap extension mechanism bothers Emacs users more than Vim users, but it's a weird coincidence all the same.

And it's always possible (and hopeful) that things have improved in webkit land since I last took a look.
> First of all don't tell people what the should or shouldn't think.

But it's okay to tell them what to do?
So... you think there are users who would rather have access to 0 Zoe songs on Youtube, rather than have access to 50% of Zoe's songs on Youtube?

I'm sorry, I just don't see how this benefits the user.
For example, if you don't respect copyright law, you wouldn't be able to argue that a corporation taking GPLed code and incorporating it into a proprietary product is immoral nor taking BSD licensed code and removing a link back to the original author is immoral.

No, I just can't argue that on the grounds that people should have a right to prevent others from copying their work. I can still defend it without incoherence on other grounds. Just because in some jurisdictions you have to use copyright to defend those rights, that doesn't make those rights dependent on accepting copyright.

For example, here in civil law countries, there's commonly no "copyright" as such; there's Moral Rights (which protect stuff like attribution) and Economic Rights. Therefore, there's no implication that abolishing Economic Rights like restricting others from copying must also abolish attribution rights.

Essentially, the attribution right is the goal, and copyright is just a method that can be used to achieve that goal. There's no incoherence in defending the goal without supporting this method of achieving it.

And that applies to the GPL as well - I can defend the right to prevent others from using your code in closed binaries, without having to defend the wider right of prevent any copying at all. (Though in my particular case, I wouldn't mind losing copyleft if copyright was to be abolished)
Yes, that seems good. A modest revision:

"FOOL! You dare to use my music on your worthless trinket of a video? Demonstrate your complete submission to my will by adding credits and a link, as directed [link], and I may spare your pitiful life. KNEEL BEFORE ZOË!"
Hi everyone, I'm the author of that software.

I really didn't want this to blow up. It's absolutely NOT a solution to getting raided by the police. While that was the original inspiration for writing the tool, I was half-joking when I wrote the README about it being a defense against law enforcement.

I've moved the code into a different branch and added a disclaimer to the README. The most important line of the disclaimer is: "If you need to rely on SWATd, you have already lost."
>> Even Carbon has been dead for three years. <<<

With regard to only this point, probably half if not more of the the top 15 grossing games on the Mac AppStore Games page today are either Carbon Apps or at minimum require the Carbon framework.
I know this person personally. She's not writing a parody
Curious why you think it's OK to try stealing the thunder of CoreOS' announcement?

Based on me and your previous encounters, I'd wager you would flip your lid if they did the same to you.

The Docker "standard" format was brewed up overnight immediately following the App Container Specification announcement and has had only spelling fixes since then. I'm not aware of any other implementations of the Docker format other than Docker itself.
Yup, that's my experience. My role has more travel/entertaining so there are some late nights but they usually have steaks in them :D
We're working on building a creator-friendly video community at vid.me... would love any suggestions / ideas / feedback.
It's unsafe code (see the "unsafe" keyword?). So, Rust relies on the people who wrote it to do so correctly, and in this case they mistakenly assumed they could get away without one variable being atomic. The patch corrects that, making it atomic.

So Rust did exactly what we wanted here, the problem code was narrowed down to the code that was explicitly unsafe and needing caution. Humans remained fallible, and the ThreadSanitizer spotted their mistake.
Bad news about Tesla is better click bait so you won’t hear about screwups with those.

It’s like how there are thousands of gasoline fires a year but stop the presses if an EV goes up.
This is really just an empirical question in ethology, but if I had to guess I'd say that prey animal in fact don't do a lot of needless running. On the contrary, I'd suspect their sense do a pretty darn good job at quickly determining the risk of predation.
Not that easy, most people get more than 1% back on their cards. It’s a reallocation mechanism where poor people who can’t pay their credit card bills end up sponsoring everyone else
> little known caveat

I'm surprised that this would be a little-known caveat; it's been a problem with all RAID-parity systems 3,4,5 and Z) since forever.
If what you say is pure speculation I would very much like to see some evidence from you because Facebook said nothing to that effect. Zuckerberg reaffirmed several times that they intend to work seamlessly with any and all e-mail out there.

This seems to me to be a long overdue and obvious overhaul of their crufty messaging system based on the realization that many people actually do not use e-mail anymore and rely instead on Facebook’s woefully inadequate messaging tools.
The TSA system is a production line - hire cheap unskilled labor, and train around a process and manuals.

This is the big thing that popped out at me from reading the article. The personnel described sound highly experienced and trained. I wonder how long and how much it would cost to bring your standard TSA screener up to that level.

I saw the biggest rat of my life waiting for a train in NYC. At first I though it was a racoon or beaver or something. I spent some time in the city (East Village) during the late 70's and again off and on through out the 80's. Good Lord people who experienced NYC after Giuliani have no idea what it was like.

If you were there during that era, you can wear it like a badge of honor...like yeah fuck, I survived that fucking place, yeah man I can survive anywhere....
How are they corny? If your house was burned down, if you lost your parents at an early age, or if you were hit by a drunk driver (which I hope none happen to you)...it wouldn't be as corny.
I'll bet Salesforce would have given them all sorts of freebies and concessions just for this publicity.
If you're just after a listen, there are lots of examples of alternative systems on youtube. Here's 19-tone, equal temperament (as opposed to the usual 12 TET): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EP0KvbxW8o

I like the above example because it always starts by sounding "off" to me but seems okay by the end of the piece. It's a matter of what you're used to.
An API that would allow for small snapshot images would be useful as well. Say for posting a formula blurb to a forum for instance, would be pretty handy as well.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll check this out and fix.
PPAs are really straightforward .. and use of them has become even more straightforward with the later releases of Ubuntu.

It's possible to link to a URL that will automatically add a repository. (via use of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/add-apt-repository)
Definitely so. We use Clojurescript with Python backend and it's great. Clojurescript is very good at json processing/manipulating, so it does not matter what backend you have.
It's a common defense of the SAT that it gives a fair shot to smart students whose cultural background means they don't know how to play the admissions game.

But I think this is not true at hyper-selective institutions, because as you say a perfect SAT score is necessary but not sufficient.

A student who has been on the normal, non-advanced educational track, not playing the resume game, and suddenly gets a 1600 SAT, still typically won't have a shot at MIT.

What they will get is a bunch of great full scholarships to good, but not hyper-selective elite, universities.
Nothing like the threat of a recall to get the wheels of government running at peak capacity!!
For sure, if the task is truly impossible.

I more often see junior employees give up on tasks they think are impossible that aren't.
