For reference my first job was $70k/year at RIM/BlackBerry in Waterloo, Ontario. I was writing C code for the BB10 phone app (middleware, not UI or cellular radio stuff). Admittedly I had ~2 years work experience from UWaterloo's co-op program though.

I don't doubt that, it's just I don't believe in opening borders in one go, it would be too brutal and it would do more harm than good but indeed if we open the borders slowly little by little and improve the conditions in other countries in the mean time (to reduce inequality between countries) it could be much better. Otherwise you are going to have 15M Chinese and Indians moving into the same city in just a few months, it would be way too brutal. So maybe one day it will work but for now, there is way too much inequality for this to work.
The problem, in my opinion, when I see what is going on in different countries, is that even the constitutional rights are no longer a security belt. This belt is cut by different means. Just change the wording or invent special exceptions or find a loophole, where not enough people go against ... The ways are endless, how constitutional rights are torn apart and I fear this is only the beginning.
I would advise against concluding anything with < 20% gain, the changes often impacts readability (the intention becomes less clear) and might as well be measurement errors or just be insignificant for any sort of real application.
Not to mention, of course, these measurements are specific to a given system, implementation, etc.
correct me if I'm wrong, but given the way you stated the question, it sounds to me your real concern isn't whether she's delivering enough work, but rather, whether her hours will give the impression to the rest of the team that "working less is ok" and potentially demotivate others.

> I highly doubt that particles in the LHC travel faster than microwaves in air

Particle beams in an accelerator travel in (near)vacuum. Speed of light in a medium is lower than in vacuum. In particular, the speed of light (and hence microwaves) in air is around 0.999723 c (per [0]), which is less than 0.999999 the article says about speeds in LHC.

Gimp is user friendly image editing software. It hides away as many as possible of the gory details.

Imageplay on the other hand is there to prototype and learn about image processing. You can build complex pipelines with basic image manipulation algorithms. As all code is available you can later on use your own design algorithm in your projects.

Also you can directly stream from the WebCam to this pipeline, something Gimp can not. (-,

> What is worse, though, is that the British/American public support the governments, thus making them complicit in their crimes against humanity, which in essense, is quite tragic.

What a silly sentence to finish with. Does the Greek public support the government? Can you give me an example of what 'not supporting' would look like? Why are you combining millions of people in a sweeping generalisation?

This whole democracy thing (which I'm quite sure you know about) is a ugly blunt tool that allows the general public some vague influence on what their nation does. But most of these things happen due to self perpetuating systems that have been there for generations and which are invisible to the public.

Nice! Thanks for these references. We, the current developers, did not know about these papers. Actually the idea of Imageplay was created by a professor now in retreat.

I definitely need to ask him if he know about these.
Seems to have a couple of issues on the mac - the image viewer doesn't seem to show anything (zoomed in view works, but no image in main display).

I think it would really be great if services like Google Photos, Amazon Cloud Drive, Smugmug and others with unlimited paid plan for pictures and videos had self service stations on major tourist spots where people could easily transfer the data from SD cards and leave the place certain that all the content would be on their cloud account in less than 30 minutes. They could even receive a notification. This way people wouldn't need to worry about data storage while far from home. Too many backpackers have to carry a computer only because they have to unload their memory cards. And also Hotel connection are mostly very slow to upload hundreds of Gbs of pictures and videos.

You can use Amazon's IAM Web Identity Federation and grant access to resources only for users that have signed in with Google, Facebook etc. with approved user identifiers.

Definitely worth having a look at them as they will have faced and (maybe) solved quite a few of the same issues you'll be facing.
> I truly understand why HFts have expressed interest in neutrinos: the fastest technology available to link different exchanges is microwave, but microwave need towers/dishes above the ground, and the world is a sphere, so you have to deal with the curve of the Earth, and because of the curve HFTs are losing time. Too bad. Mother Nature is not helping.

Well, then they should go and build themselves a vacuum tube; their microwaves will fly faster :).
Go to http://www.eumetsat.int/ and follow links on data delivery. The eumetcast system lets you pick up data using normal satellite TV hardware but you're not picking it up direct from, e.g. MSG-4. It is broadcast via another satellite much as for, e.g. a TV signal. You can also get some data via the Internet.
The greeks are miserable because none of your politicians thought they ever had to pay their debt.

Your debt ( Greeces) is like 177 times your GDP... And the politicans of the EU made the mistake of accepting greece in the European Union, because they all lied about there economic numbers.

Now you are dependant on the EU, yes, but you still have a lot of financial help. If you would have fallen without the EU ( sooner or later), there wouldn't be anyone to pay debts for you and forgive them ( partially).

I'm a Belgian and even every Belgian pays 1000€ for Greek financial support... And there are many other countries. Every European citizen is paying for the Greek mistakes. But i don't mind.

You still have to do a lot of yourselve, but it isn't our entire fault.

Stop blaming this on other things/people/instituations, it isn't a "one side has right" situation..
No, "shallow clone" and "partial checkout" are both different to "narrow clone". Maybe "partial clone" would fit the git terminology better.

A shallow clone misses history after a certain point in time (well, commit order). A narrow clone misses history except in a subtree. A partial clone looks like a narrow clone in the workspace, but a narrow clone should have substantially less objects to download and store.
> If I push a repo to Heroku that includes submodules, presumably Heroku then fetches those submodules

You're missing the point. You may use submodules hosted on github with Heroku, but you don't use Heroku to host that repo. You're not going to `git submodule add git@heroku.com:project`. So for the sake of argument, if we pretend that git repo hosts do need to use `git@`, I don't see a single reason why Heroku would.

> And if you're going to suggest that it should only consult users who have access to the repo, for a public project that's everybody, which makes it functionally identical to git@

Now you're confusing two things. Do you want to clone a public module as a subrepo, or allow commit access? Public repos can be cloned without identification. If you want commit access, why would project-level not work?

> Sure it does. IdentityFile is explicitly allowed to be specified multiple times for a single host, and the files will be tried in turn

Again, missing the point. If you don't specify a different host, you'll always be identified and authenticated as the first key that matches, therefore you'll only use a single account. That's why you have to use different hosts.

> And no, your own anecdotes do not constitute proof that providers often have to deal with this.

If you're not going to believe anything I say, I got nothing. Otherwise, 2 things

- I opened an issue and the response was basically "Ooooo that explains some of those tickets". They specifically mentioned issues with vagrant.
- I presented this at a local meetup and someone else had put themselves in this position.

> Your work is handing out a shared public/private keypair and encouraging people to set this up as a default identity in SSH?

No. As I said, it was meant to setup the vagrant box and then not be used. By default vagrant connects using an insecure keypair.
And yes, messengers not working with other clients is one of the most user-unfriendly things they do and something many users consider a bug. And really only has taken off with the start of mobile messengers, before that most could be interfaced from different clients.

I think that's somewhat misleading. MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, etc didn't use standard protocols, it's just that people would reverse engineer them. Third-party clients did just stop working from time to time whenever the providers changed something in the protocol.
This reminds me of the mathmap GIMP plugin [1]. I played around with it a long time ago.

From the article: "Using de-identified genome data and medical records from 28,000 hospital patients"

I don't know whether there are good gene/benefits datasets, but they used gene/diseases datasets.
I'm curious - what happens to these cars (not specifically GM's, just these "smartcars" in general) when you disable/disconnect/destroy the (presumably) SIM card or whatever it uses to connect to cell data?
This is correct - core.typed can't interact with the compiler, it's purely a correctness checking tool.
Yes, I also think that the HTTP vs other transport protocols is a red herring to the standard vs proprietary part. Raw protocols can be and often are proprietary, and HTTP based protocols can be and often are standard.

I think it's more a matter of correlation: the HTTP-ization of the net coincided with the rise of commercial endeavours taking over the position of universities and other research institutions in the development of these protocols, but it didn't cause it.

Exactly my thoughts, what is the use of the OnStar stuff in the first place apart from just being a "gimmick": "Hey look, I can beep my horn from my phone!".

Wow, this looks nice. You can search for hours on yourself and than HN tells you in minutes what is all around. Amazing!

Yes I think ImagePlay is quite comparable. I have too look into the details to see where it differs. I imagine you can also really simple add new own plug-ins?

One could argue that the cold war was just a prolongation of the political antagonism seeing in the 20s and 30s between the European communist parties and the conservative ones. The Nazi partly benefited from the fear in Germany during the 30s to get into power. A lot of pro-Nazi throughout Europe were in fact anti communist.

As for the fear of Stalinist parties, the French Communist party was one of them and the country did not fall into Stalin's arm. I guess the setup was different, but it shows that alienating part of your population for fear of their political belief is not the solution.

On a side note I am not even surprise of how this play out considering the other dictators (and criminal organisation) that had support from the British and the Americans (and from others "allied" countries).
I've had it open for about 5 minutes.

The root page (/) showed "peers: 2" for a while now, now it says "peers: 1".

I see a list of two files, both just do

while(1) {

connecting
connecting.
connecting..
connecting...

}

It might be a good idea to have an info page that explains what's going on (I'm presuming my ability to see files is based on other peoples' browsers being open?).

Also, I really like the design as it is right now. Don't feel pressured to change it all that much - keep it HN-esque. :)

A textarea would be cool though. With CTRL+Enter. :P

Oh and an API!

And an authentication system that uses say Google's one-click captcha engine for passersby and a highly convoluted auth system no spammer would want to put up with so bots and clients and Real Users(TM) can connect! (Like "please DCC SEND a base64-challenge-response-encoded public key to this random IRC user on blahblah private network using this IP address with this one-time password...")
Probably nothing? OnStar is an optional service. It's not required for your car to run.

Meteor-M N2 is in polar orbit, so you may need a fancy antenna to receive MSG, which is in geostationary orbit (don't quote me on this, but this reddit user has the same suspicion https://www.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/comments/23pquc/can_you_rece...).

But EUMETSAT (contractor of MSG-4) has EUMETcast for distributing the images: http://satsignal.eu/wxsat/atovs/index.html That works over DVB though, which would be disappointing for you since you wanna talk to satellites.

There is a library for decoding the proprietary formats: https://sourceforge.net/p/meteosatlib/wiki/Home/

TFA is really talking about two things. I responded to the "layered on top of HTTP" point, while you seem to be talking about the "silos of end user data" point. Perhaps the first point contributes to the second, but I'm not convinced. Users could choose http apps that don't silo.

Because academics are paid for papers and turning a paper-ready piece of software into a consumer-ready piece of software is a lot of work that could be spent on writing the next paper.

I am a happy user of smugmug for a long time, because it was the best service I found that could handle 1080 videos. But I believe I'm a different kind of customer. I only want to have my personal backup. I don't want to sell photos. Google Photos has become very appealing as the interface is great to see the pictures and videos. But what I really don't like on Smugmug is that the Android App can't be trusted. It sometimes skip a lot of files and also don't handle duplicate files after the album has apparently more than 1000 files. The result is a messy album. I already reported this to support (by that time I did not realize the 1000 files issue, just the behavior) but I had no response. This is not a complain about the service that I really like. It is a feedback according to my behavior as a user. I am testing Amazon Cloud Drive and I'm really impressed. It lacks the great Google Interface but don't change the quality of my videos.

That money doesn't go to the Greek people. It's used to preserve the international banking system.

I appreciate you digging those up. Thanks.
However, I see a change here happening over the past two decades: before, the opposition painted by Soviets and puppets was usually "fascism". Now it is "nazism"

I believe this was simply because nazi is "national-socialist", which inconveniently rhymes with "international-socialist", which was the officially perfect doctrine of the Eastern Block. Therefore, "fascist" was the preferable enemy, even if it was the name of the lesser, Italian variant which was not quite as nasty and murderous.

You can see this in all sorts of memorials in Russia, as well as textbooks.

Nowadays there is less talk of international socialist, so Nazis have become a better term - perhaps because it is more useful in propaganda work in the West.
here's a scenario, let's say that GM goes hog wild after this and hires every expert security researcher with experience in this domain. they create an internal tiger team for security. they re-organize their entire product delivery pipeline to incorporate internal and external security audits and they publish everything they do. and they create and fund an open bug bounty program for bugs in all auto manufacturers (proxied through a non-profit) and make a "pwn2own for cars" or something and after five years, GM cars are measurably more secure than any other car manufacturer.

in this future in five years, do you buy GM? no? that's why they don't give a damn about security.
