> Correction: a criminal investigation that didn't happen yet, might never happen, or might happen say 6 years from now.

I'd recommend reading the Indictment. This wasn't that sort of case. This was a case where the accused knew the Tsarnaev brothers, had communicated with them electronically, and made and received several phone calls to and from them after the Boston bombing and they'd been announced as suspects.

Under those circumstances, it was highly likely the FBI would come to him seeking evidence, and if the facts alleged are true, the defendant's behavior in this case looks very sketchy indeed.

One or more kicks are over here: http://harvey-os.org/ is taking the open-source Plan 9 code and getting it to compile with GCC and clang, etc. They have a userspace with APE (posix) compatibility and they almost have Google Go ported and they debug it with gdb... very much a work in progress though.

Headline is misleading.

Clearing your browser history, just by itself, isn't obstruction. Clearing your browser history and cache, when some of the information present there is evidence relevant to a criminal prosecution in which you are a suspect or a witness, can be, especially if you do it to try to cover up your involvement, and that shouldn't be surprising to anyone.
Interesting article and some of the comments are interesting too. Generally, I think any right-minded person would agree that so long as your work gets done and that you volunteer to help out with extra tasks, especially when everyone around you is busy, "face time" is stupid and ultimately harmful.

That being said, this is a start up with 6 people so each person has a huge effect on the company (cf: 2 lectures on culture in Sam Altman's Stanford lecture series for example) and if it is consistently the case that one person leaves when all others stay, there is clearly a need to re-balance the work-load (even if it is e.g. to say that one or two nights a week, you make work for yourself until later)....

Once the company is bigger, this issue changes/ goes away I think....
Ask HN: Why no “free to search” commercial real estate sites?
There are so many sites for residential property where one is free to search and look at properties.

How come there aren't any national sites such as these for commercial real estate? Commercial real estate sites tend to mask the address, and require the viewer to pay to unmask this info.
But observations of real world systems can be identical to a specific mathematical system. I.e. the time it takes for a thing to fall at specific gravity at specific height, the frequency of a particular pendulum, and so on...(i.e. the rest of modern physics).

True, it is our observation and our model which are similar, so I suppose the philosophical question then is up to what point we can trust our observations. And if we trust our observations, I would conclude that the similarity of our observations and math means that the real world can at least exhibit 'maths', which means our minds are not the only place where math can exist.

The smartphone I'm typing this on leads me to conclude that lots of our observations are highly trustworthy :)

Sure, I think it's fair to say that if cachegrind finds the branching to be predictable, that any modern processor will do fine on it. But if cachegrind predicts poor performance, I wouldn't suggest changing your code unless you've discovered that the actual performance is poor on a real processor. Overall, I think cachegrind's branch prediction is nowadays less accurate than the rule of thumb that "if there is a pattern the CPU will find it". Since using performance counters is so simple and accurate (at least on x86/x64), I'm not sure that there is a benefit to using the slower, less-accurate older method of emulation.

You response encouraged me to check whether the branch predictor in cachegrind had been updated since I last looked at it. It doesn't look like it. It's still pretty simple, about 20 lines of actual code: https://github.com/fredericgermain/valgrind/blob/master/cach...

I greatly appreciated the honesty in one of the comments: "TODO: use predictor written by someone who understands this stuff."

It is a valid question might whether the consistency from processor to processor is any better than cachegrind or a rule of thumb. My experience was that for Nehalem/Sandy Bridge/Haswell things were more same than different (and only got better), but I don't know about other lines.
Incorporation is not a straight-forward question. Depending on what kind of IP you have (if any), what kind of costs and when you anticipate revenues, can all affect your position (notably in respect of future tax issues). Also assuming in all this that we are talking about US jurisdictions of some kind. Generally speaking, you probably want to incorporate before you start incurring significant costs and liabilities or before you start accumulating significant assets (including IP). There are a ton of resources online about this kind of thing so I'd recommend doing a basic google search and going from there but ultimately it is worth speaking to a lawyer or accountant about this.

As for legal docs, this is often a catch 22 for start-ups and again, will depend a lot on your circumstances. What are your risks (i.e. what does your app actually do)? By looking at many different examples online, you can probably get a good idea of the kinds of things you need to cover, but a lot of it will be specific to your business. Many law firms offer start-ups deferred fee structures so even getting a lawyer to help doesn't necessarily have to cost you an arm and a leg....

splitters!
In addition, it's also more consistent with lambda syntax, lets you use decltype on parameter arguments, allows your function names to line up nicely in header files, and my favorite feature, is scoped for member functions. Ex:

MessageWindow::Response MessageWindow::question(...);
MessageWindow::Icon MessageWindow::getIcon() { return _icon; }
...
auto MessageWindow::question(...) -> Response;
auto MessageWindow::getIcon() { return _icon; }

I was fairly nervous about it at first, but after using this syntax, I've grown to highly favor it. Being a huge fan of consistency, I've begun using only this style. Downside is it seems to annoy many other programmers much moreso than other style choices (like const foo vs foo const, tabs vs spaces, K&R vs 1TBS, etc.)

I do kind of wish you could say "function" instead of "auto" here, but of course that wasn't a reserved keyword so it would have broken existing code.

For the ubiquitous main, "auto main() {}" return type deduction works pretty well. But I need a wrapper around main() anyway thanks to Windows corrupting argv[] when you pass in non-ANSI (Unicode) characters. So for my case, I have:

#include <nall/main.hpp>
auto nall::main(vector<string> args) { ... }

Where internally, the real main() will use CommandLineToArgvW + WideCharToMultiByte on Windows to return UTF-8 arguments. So many cross-platform apps skip this step, and make opening files named in other languages impossible via command-line.

Ask HN: Looking for Canadian immigration advise
Programmer (C++, Bash, Python, PHP) looking for a way to immigrate to Canada since 2008, started an immigration process with Quebec [1] and then with the Canadian government [2].

I live in a South American country suffering an internal armed conflict, and this is one of the main reasons for the immigration, it does not affects me directly though but I do not see a good future for me being here.

I work for a USA company where all employees work remotely. They have tried to help me but they can not offer me a Visa for Canada, maybe for the USA but I would not feel safe there being an immigrant.

People around me tell me all the time that I am smart, that I should be working at Google, I laugh every time but decided to try it. I have been interviewed by good companies during the last months with (generally) good results, they declined their offers after I told them about my situation. And most of the companies that interviewed me can not hire a foreigner anyway (SpaceX is an example) so I do not blame them, but this is a proof that I am losing opportunities in life to keep progressing while living in this country.

I have this idea that human life is based on goals, people without goals lose their desire to live. I am not talking about suicide, in most cases they just sink in a mental state and stop progress, they just wake up, eat, work, sleep, and repeat. And this is what I do every day of my life; I do not have friends, nor a girlfriend, I only go out to pay the bills and buy food; I am basically starting to lose my goals in life.

What would you do if you were me?

If you're better at coming up with different names, as PG apparently is (he mentions in the article), then yeah, this would be a net win to just change your name.

For most of us who are pretty awful at naming, it may not be a great idea to focus on the name when there are other TLDs out there like .io, .co, or most recently, .tech. And there's also the highly acceptable alternative of using a derivative of your name, such as (name)app.com, get(name).com, and that sort of thing.

It's also notable that a startup registering its domain name is probably early stages and their name may change anyway, because their idea may change. You don't want to spend hundreds or more on lavalamps.com and then later decide you're actually going to sell those puzzle/IQ lights. Doing that might even make you hesitate to change your idea.* But if you spend $12 on lavalamps.net, the cost of heading for greener pastures is epsilon.

If you've got another name stashed on a scrap of paper in a drawer, dig it up and check whether its .com is available. But if figuring out a new name is going to take you a week, just take what you can get for now.

Probably you don't want to use (name).ru, though. ;)

The wording seems to indicate taking a specific action to delete specific things.

So would having a browser/extension that automatically cleans up after itself imply guilt? Even people who don't do anything illegal, immoral, or unethical online might legitimately not want their computer constantly polluted with all the droppings from every site they visit - tracking cookies, cached ads, etc.

What about browsing from a VM that loads a pristine provisioned image every time you boot it? Seems a reasonable way to avoid both that pollution and reduce likelihood of being infected by malware or other security issues. The responsible thing for any good patriotic law-abiding citizen to do.

Either way, it would be a standard operating procedure. So anything that they didn't find would not be something that you had intentionally deleted.

I failed to get my hands on the actual research paper so I'm relying completely on the article's description of the study. To my unscientific eye it seems that the only thing altered between the control group and the test group was diet. Both were given "Compound 14". The test group that was fed a high fat diet showed better results. Claiming that it's thanks to "Compound 14" seems a little bit unscientific.
What I would like to know is:
1) What did the normal diet look like?
2) What would the results be like if both the control and the test group were fed the exact same diet from birth?
3) What are the researchers' biases?
4) Who is funding the research?
