> apple is very late to the game and has a relatively tiny market share when compared all browser usage among all platform when including desktop

The GRAPH shows Safari second only to Chrome, with 12% vs 45% usage across all devices, globally.

How exactly is #2 browser worldwide "relatively tiny" ?

In addition, I commented that there is a NEWS item which says Safari has >50% of mobile/tablet usage. This was merely an interesting counterpoint to your "tiny market share" point, given that it's widely accepted that average people are using mobile devices to access the internet more than ever, and it's increasing.
Hypothetical: what if data were stored on the moon? Isn't that neutral territory?
Don't give your public key out freely.
There's been no great solution on Apple mobile so far. Hoping iOS 9 changes that.

I don't think asking for validation of what we're being told is cynical at all. I think that problem is that people think its a problem to ask for proof.

I think he is correct. An order of magnitude change for (most) SI units is a change by a factor of 10, while it is a change by a factor of 1024 for bytes.

Can you say a few words about this. What's the advantage over doing a recursive ls with something like s3cmd?
You don't have to pay for it, btw. There are sites you can post to in order to attract people that will just like/follow your stuff for free. It doesn't take much searching to find them. You won't get the same numbers, but if you're on a budget, it works.
Technologies That Will Redefine the Enterprise: The Bitcoin Blockchain
I'm not entirely sure they have done
Once you get a chance to decide if the page's ads are to your liking, though, you have already been tracked and had the ad network's code executed on your machine.
So your suggestion is that instead of trying to convince these "publishers" (as people like to call them apparently) that they should use a less user-hostile ad/analytics solution, we should all just boycott their publications completely?

I bet they'd all love that - no visitors because of their shitty ad network choices, thus no costs right. They can eat their own failed dreams for dinner.

Is this the ad-blocking equivalent of "if you don't like the laws here, go to a different country" ??
This guy fucks
So walled gardens and "owning" the users are all fine and dandy until they suffocate you.

No one challenged apple either legally or technologically and everyone tried to emulate them. Enjoy your brave new world.
Off the top of my head, I'm not sure (other than follow-up work to this paper, like http://jeapostrophe.github.io/home/static/icfp065-mccarthy.p... [ICFP '09]). But, the ideas in that paper aren‘t any less true just because they are from 2005, and they are still what the Racket web server runs on as far as I know :-)
I'm actually really impressed with the brand reimagining that's already going on with Barbie speaking in an authentic millennial voice on instagram.

But why would you need the sender's key? They need to encrypt with your public key, which you only provide to a limited list, and change when it gets blown. What we need is an automated way for requesting someone's key, approving or disapproving that request, and then storing their key for future use....in gmail.
Nice article. If anyone is interested in understanding the theory and also dig deeper, the machine learning course on Coursera is a great place to start as well.
I'm just simply asking whats the cause of the poor treatment? If you are able to assert that it is not due to white privilege and know if someone is off-base, then I'm assuming you know that cause to make such an assertion. That's all.

I think that largely depends on the State and Government.

Growing up in England, I'd largely say that people have a sense of freedom [how true that is vs. media tainted perspectives is anyone's guess], that despite (allegedly) one of the most extensive surveillance networks in the world, people there don't generally sense a fear of being watched or oppressed... and it's not that people don't know they're on camera somewhere, we're all well aware that someone could be [albeit after the fact] watching our every [public] move, it's just that they don't tend to give it a second thought or care.

I can't say this doesn't affect anyone's behaviour, but I don't feel that my feelings are atypical and it doesn't affect mine.

It's only once there's a tipping point in the volume of people feeling of oppressed that revolutions arise and States destabilized...

...or bad actors use dirty politics to throw countries into financial turmoil, inject a sense of panic into the population and overthrow regimes that are not friendly to their agenda... or back the wrong frenemies and leave a pile of rubble and a want for revenge where there was once [reasonable] stability; even if that stability didn't look like they thought it should or didn't align with their own economic/political agenda.

On another note, pencil & paper never got a virus that tunneled its way around the internet taking over thousands of computers to be used as a bot network for cyber attacks on industry... and when the power went out, I could still use my credit card to pay for things. Most stores appear to have forgotten that ability.

"Protected" might be more accurate than you think initially. One of the first things that happens when blackhat SEO experts discover a "penalty" mechanism, is they will attempt to invoke it upon their competition.

Google deals with this re:bad links. Once they started penalizing, it became a new tactic to suppress competition.

If you like visual stuff in math try this exercise before reading anything - pick your favorite software plotting tool - which allows you to plot lines given an equation in terms of x and y and try to plot a wave. Don't use the trig functions available.

Just keep playing with x and y and see what you can come up with.

It can set you off on all sorts of adventures involving waves. Which are quite magical when you start digging :)

I didn't ask for relevant ads or privacy intrusions. And if your business model can be demolished by a bit of code that lets me selectively decide what I'm willing to view, it was never a good model anyway.
But who, in this day and age, would trust or hire a new online business that had a page with 0-100 likes? The apparent presumption on seeing under 1k likes or under a few thousand twitter followers is the business is defective. Or forgotten, or no good. The incorrect wisdom of the crowd is that a legit business has a certain number of likes, followers etc, or it looks suspicious

For a new local business who is never going to get a HN or /. effect, or get some "viral buzz" from the cool kids, buying a few thousand can be a way to get to perceived neutrality. Enough likes or followers that they're no longer clicked away from for being "suspiciously" unloved.

Fake reviews on the other hand are much more directly fraudulent. Mind I'm surprised anyone at all still trusts online reviews, apart from negative ones!
All you have to find is a disgruntled minority with ideological differences and get them to do your bidding. There does not have to be a majority discontent for anything to actually happen. And often it's not really about some sort of change, but rather tying up the government of such countries in local affairs so that they don't have time to contemplate other affairs.

Yes, we are doing it via images which are hosted on our server securely encrypted.

We offer 3 different sending modes:
- tracking only -> the email can't be modified after sending but you get a notification when the recipient opens the mail
- attachments only -> you can not modify the emails content but you can modify / remove attachments
- full unsend -> you can modify / remove contents of the emails after its been sent / opened + same for attachments

Obviously there are a lot of governance issues there and the stable equilibrium is a local maxima in utility...I can see how any substantial improvement can only come at the risk of instability and destruction of quality of life first. I did feel very happy there, but probably because I was a guest and they treat guests very well.
Further, how do you feel about that knowing that the government has been compromised more than once. It's like let us install backdoors, but how do you know the government is actually secure. In Canada for instance we have had CSIS (our MI5) agents leave important documents in laptops which were then stolen. If backdoors exist anyone can potentially get to them by stealing information from the government.

> OOM is an abort, not a panic (contrary to the official docs, interestingly)

Where in the docs do we say this? I'd like to fix it.
That's a long term solution and one I am in favor of. But what do you do in the interim, between the time that the US stops creating more terrorists through bad foreign policy and the time that everyone who is angry enough to want to kill Americans for revenge is either dead or doesn't care anymore?

Edit: I am not being sarcastic at all. It will be exceedingly difficult to get rid of all the guns in the US so suggesting disarmament is a non-starter here. That means that terrorists will be able to get their hands on guns if they desire. Which means that you need someone to counter them with something. The logical conclusion is another person (preferably many people) with guns also. And since the police ratio in the US is on the order of 0.1% that's not going to give you an adequate response time as we've seen from mass shootings.

The real question is "would the cure be worse than the disease?" and while I personally think the answer is "no" that doesn't make me right. And given how much the left hates guns, I suspect that we'll never actually find out, so don't worry.
Would it harm national security if they published a list of former security agency employees who are now employed by the security industry? It think it's safe to assume that a very high percentage of former security agency employees end up working in this industry as it is in their area of expertise and the industry could use their connections to the agencies. With all of this in mind, would it not make sense to assume that the terrorism threat could be highly exaggerated or even fabricated?

Ask HN: How to Find Open Source Projects to Contribute To
I want to start contributing to open source projects(javascript). How do you usually go about finding good projects to contribute to? Mind you, I don't have much experience with a lot of libraries outside of jQuery and Bootstrap so the usual "pick one of the libraries you use a lot" doesn't really work in my situation. Also, I'm a bit of a novice, so I am also looking for contributions that are fairly simple to get my feet wet. In also assuming that low hanging frit is what most other people go for too so I can see finding relative easy stuff to work on as being a bit of a challenge.
If you look at history, it's pretty clear this is the normal state of humanity.

I, too, absorbed a bit of the sneering disdain for patriotism that a lot of us did as children, but I've since come to understand that it is actually a serious advance in human affairs. Patriotism is a brilliant psychological hack on the built-in "family" tendency of humans that hacks it to permit building larger political/social structures by hacking the humans to see that essentially as their new "family". Seeing only when it sometimes causes excess is missing the forest for the webworm infestation.
It's already using your GPU. Iris is just not a very powerful one, so we can't do much about it. We've actually noticed a better graphical performance on an iPhone 6 or iPad Air 2 than on a 13-inch Macbook Pro with Iris.
So when will apple add the OS level ad blocker for ads and tracking in apps. What's special about blocking web ads and tracking?
> Buffers are now created in JavaScript, rather than C++. This increases the speed of buffer creation.

How can this be possible? How can allocation via JavaScript (which I assume must call malloc underneath) be faster than just malloc in C++? Does Node have a slab allocator for buffers like the Linux kernel has for task structs, or are objects allocated on the heap on demand?

The absolute most idiotic part is that any slightly intelligent person would use one of the multiple secure algorithms for encryption not controlled by authorities.

In other words, there is nothing they can do short of making encryption illegal; good luck with that.

This is a valid SEO tactic as well. You can have crummy back links to your competitor and google will penalize them...

Oh man, what a difference a year makes. I gave up on FF when it was a freshly laid turd. I tried it again a few months back on a recommendation from HN. Whoa. They've managed to polish it into a diamond.

You'd have to prize Firefox and uBlock (on my first gen Moto G) out of my cold dead hands.
It's still difficult to know when the line has been crossed. What's perceived as harmless (even productive) banter by everyone else may still be hurtful to the recipient. You never know whether someone is okay with it, or simply hiding their emotions well.

I do agree that a copious amount of praise goes a long way toward developing a healthy environment.
Even that first premise is wrong in any state with the rule of law. Only crimes have to be prosecuted, not "people" or "communications" and prosecution is always something done "a posteriori."

The above must be understood correctly: I am not advocating that one should not investigate possible criminal plans: because planning some kind of crime (like killing someone) with intent is, ipso facto, a crime.

It is not PEOPLE that the law applies to. It is CRIMES.

We incarcerate people because we do not know a better way to punish them for their crimes, not because we do not want them to be human beings. CRIME-PUNISHMENT, not MAN-JAIL.
You're kidding right? Within the neighborhood that mobsters/gangsters rule there is typically widespread "admiration" from the residents. Some are just afraid, but many youngsters grow up idealizing these individuals for their success and power. This also allows/enables the criminals to remain in power.

SABMiller-AB InBev Merger: Here Are All the Beers They Brew
The tools provide some value and we depend on them, however they also abuse us by being very unfriendly and disrespectful of our time.

I think this emerge of a certain way that programmers think of other programers.

There are of course exceptions, but often tools made by other programmers don't seem to respect us as users and have bad user experience:
- Few thoughts given to make common operations good,
- Lots of clunky menus,
- Poor performance,

Basically going out of their ways to make us do something else than programming by killing the feedback loop. (Think libraries that are slow to compile, tools that run slowly or require assistance or are otherwise too granular)

The absolute worst example I can give is something like Hudson or Jenkins.
Yes.

Is Apple Ad-Blocking a Mobile Ad-Pocalpyse?
If you're a street musician setting up to play with an open instrument case, it's pretty important to "seed the pot" by throwing a few dollars and some change into the case. Not because you make any money from your own "donation", but because it shows passers-by what the arrangement is, and adds an element of social pressure ("Somebody donated, so I should too!").

I can see this as similar. There's something pathetic about being the first Twitter follower, or the 6th "Like", and something scary, particularly for a local business, about vouching for something you're not really 100% sure on. Writing the 4th 5 star review is a lot easier than the 1st one, and it's easy, and more anonymous, to be the 45th Like.

I don't support these services, and think we need good heuristics to stop them, but I can totally see why even an early influx of a few fake followers and reviews would "seed the pot", and be worth way more to a business's eventual health than $20-40.
Sacrificing other people for a supposed "greater good" is highly unlikely to be beneficial because it destroys trust in society. It's a major cost if everybody has to be constantly wary of utilitarians pushing them in front of trolleys, and if everybody will betray you as soon as their calculations say it's a good idea then capitalism can't function, and capitalism is the only effective economic system yet discovered. Even the murders for organ transplants variation of the trolley problem doesn't avoid this problem, because the mere fact that you observe people acting as though they are utilitarians is good evidence for them actually being utilitarians. Deontological ethics has a predictability that makes planning things much easier and it preserves the functionality of contracts in society, so the long term consequences could be better even by utilitarian standards.

The question is a different question, hence the answer is different. C10k wasn't considering the option of new languages, this thread is. The same question could have been asked back then (although most folks wouldn't have considered using anything other than C/C++ for high-scale servers then). Perhaps the thing that's changed is more memory and CPU power has made the option of new (and less efficient than C) languages a practical choice for new projects. I know that if, back then, I'd proposed the solution to my product's scaling issues with network I/O to be : "re-write all 500k loc in a different language", I'd have been laughed at.

I like:

0) The use of a set of different phone numbers instead of different conference rooms.

I don't like:

1) Why only a US number, when people are used to freeconferencecall.com, which has access numbers in many countries?

2) Why make someone visit a web site to set up a call? Isn't the user's calendar (e.g. on their mobile) the natural place for them to set up virtual meetings?

3) Why do I have to enter the PIN manually? RFC2806 defined pause and wait characters for URLs, back in the year 2000: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2806.txt

Also:

4) The link on the bottom-right of the page leads to https://emerge.cisco.com/ but that server is refusing connections on port 443. I can connect with plain http.
And if they don't penalize for it, then it's a 0-risk proposition to try buying thousands of links just in case a few of them sneak by and boost your rank. What do you have to lose?

But like you said, Google doesn't know who paid for them, so if they penalize spam links you can use that against competitors. There's no good solution other than "Be 100% perfect at identifying and ignoring fake links."
