About the sixth bus, apparently the sicarios realized it wasn't who they were looking for and shouted: "we fucked up", and the leader replied: "leave no witness alive"

edit: I think it's kind of sad that there's people capable of ending other people's lives just like that, with no remorse, no second thought about it. With that said, many did survive.

edit 2: after re-reading the source I posted below I noticed that I had missed something, he ordered them to go away after shooting (I'm guessing to the sky?). Still, hearing someone order your death, can't imagine how scary that'd be.
NPR had a related story about a stroke taking away part of the language processing center for a while. After the patient could express themselves again, they report a stillness in the mind during the loss period. Many, if not all of us, think by talking to ourselves in our minds. And this internal voice is something hard to turn off at will as any serious meditator knows.
OS X makes progress with every release on this front. I typically test it with a few tricky french sentences (think "les poules du couvent couvent") and it seems to improve, but it's hard to say from the outside what gets better in the model ("Mes fils ont cassé mes fils" still fails for instance, but seems harder to detect to me)
Cache poisoning doesn't make sense when you are using hashes. If someone can generate sha384 collisions in a way that allows them to substitute malicious files in the place of jQuery, we have bigger problems.

> Content injection (XSS)

If we assume XSS, an attacker could simply inject whatever they want. The cache isn't needed. This still wouldn't poison any legitimate cache keys.

> The client still has to find out if the server really hosts this file.

So use (URL, hash) as the key in the permanent cache. This removes most of the bandwidth, and using a CDN allows for one GET per file across many sites.

So what exactly is the attack? I'm really not seeing how someone could attack a permanent cache without first breaking the hashing functions that we already have to trust.

edit: after reading https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10311555

This would work in the cases where we allow XSS (which is already a compromised scenario). Simply adding the URL (or maybe even just the hostname) prevents this entirely, and we still get almost all of the benefits for local resources, and we get all of the benefits when using a CDN.

edit2:

There are two issues being discussed. 1) Is the file we loaded form a (possibly 3rd party) site correct? 2) Did we ask for the correct file(s).

Cache poisoning is when you can fool #1, while XSS attacks manipulate #2.
Texas yes, College Station no.
It's a problem right now because we just don't know. It could happen tomorrow. It could happen in 2300. It's all chance. Like the example given of running across a field while machine guns blaze away. You might cross 100 times and be safe. I try to cross once and I'm gone. All we know is, our odds increase with each item we put in orbit.
So I tried it out last night. Overall things seem much more snappy though that is just a qualitative observation. Not much cosmetic changes. No WiFi issues no far!

Viewers rebel, ratings drop, and directors quickly ban such perversions of their art. Its not sustainable. Will you read articles on HN that are half ads? Neither will I.
What was behind your decision to pick Rust? My understanding is that Rust is meant as replacement for C++ in places where C++ performance is needed (browsers, systems programming (maybe)), etc. A web server does not fall into that category, so why did you pick it?

> The problem is even _root_ can't add the missing /usr/local, because SIP prevents even root from touching /usr.

This goes against all that I have read and my own experiences with the betas. Maybe Apple changed something last minute. See here: http://www.macworld.com/article/2948140/os-x/private-i-el-ca...

The specifics of System Integrity Protection are that no user, application, or process will be able to write files or modify files in the root System folder or the /bin, /sbin, and /usr directories, which are hidden by default in OS X’s Finder. The /usr/local folder remains accessible, however; it’s a long-running convention in Unix and variants as a place to stash material and software that individual users rely on.

Aren't there issues with making extremely thin steel parts to take advantage of this new higher strength-to-weight ratio? Sure, it might exceed the mechanical properties of titanium, but steel is still twice as dense.

I thought it was because of the difficulty of making thin steel parts that aircraft use aluminum rather than steel, despite steel having a higher specific strength.
Sort of. People have figured out a way to simulate constant acceleration while the spacecrafts are "on-rails". I believe the KSPi mod has solar sails. They are not very realistic, but probably good enough for a game.
Its measurable and predictable. A model has to be built is all. Nothing magical or unknowable about it. I agree with the idea that we should, fairly easily, be able to answer questions like "when will this become critical"

Further, its not a single happening - its a process modeled by a differential equation including terms for orbital decay, particle distribution over time, solar wind, new launches etc.
That's right. I went to the particular store and bought the particular ridiculously expensive beans recommended by the coffee geeks. We did the experiment the next day.

There are at least six degrees of freedom: grind, pressure, volume, water temp, beans, and roast. That's a lot of possible combinations. And my whole point was that despite making my best effort to control all six of them, the coffee still didn't come out good. Not just not good, but actually terrible. Undrinkable. No one could figure out what was going wrong.

What I do know is that I can get consistently good coffee out of my Keurig, and consistently awesomely great coffee in Italy, but nearly nowhere else in the world (and I've been to a lot of places). So it must be possible to control the process. The Italians can't just be getting lucky. But I have no idea what the magic formula is. Maybe it's the water. (Oh no! A seventh degree of freedom!)

Ask HN: How can my company participate in someone else's startup?
I have a small company with a few products that's successful enough to pay the bills and the salaries of the 5 people working at it. Recently, someone came to me with the idea of a product that I might be interested in building. What we do best is build products.

This person doesn't have the money to pay for this product to be built and even if they did, that's not what I'm interested in (as in, I don't want to be an agency, I want to own part of the product). I'm having a hard time figuring out how this could work in terms of equity and amount of work. Does anybody have an example of such a thing?

For example, for our own products, sometimes we reach a level in which it's feature complete and we stop adding features while we work on the marketing and if we don't increase revenue for it, we don't pour more development resources into it. When it happens with a third party, I can see this being problematic.

Sometimes one product requires urgent attention and resources are taken from another product to do so. When we own all our products it's a simple prioritization problem of what is more urgent, which product is bigger, etc. When one of the products is partially owned by somebody else, the equation would also include whether we are doing our part of the deal.

Whenever I push this model forward, I see up writing long detailed specs (that are hard to change on the fly) and committing a predefined amount of time to each project that will require time tracking. One of the reasons why I co-founded a startup instead of working on an agency is because I don't like either of those things and I believe they hamper coding productivity, so I don't want to push these things to my developers, that joined this company with the expectation of a different workplace too.

Smoke and mirrors.
"You make your own luck." There were a sequence of events that lead to you getting the opportunity to be in the right place at the right time.

Random luck happens for sure, but how did you get to put on a warm-up for one of the biggest DJs in the world? I'd guess because of some conscious work you did, not because he picked a phone number in the book at random.

You told him about your party after getting the gig. He probably wouldn't have gone if you had not. That kind of networking and effort is a skill just as much as selecting the right music.
Excuse the ignorance, but could this have any effect at all on genetics or mutation?

It's easy to make steel that's stronger than titanium; the challenge is making steel with a higher specific strength than titanium, since titanium is so much less dense. Steel is still the clear winner by volume, which is what unqualified 'strength' refers to.

Titanium is also nice for its anti-corrosive and non-magnetic properties, and its low coefficient of thermal expansion. There's a reason it showed up in aerospace very early - its a good fit there.
Setting aside all the political stuff, it's hard to see how this deal made any sense for HP. Apple got better distribution for their iPods, kept a competitor out of the market, and got their software installed on a ton of Windows computers. What did HP get other than a few bucks per iPod+HP sold?

I have a wife who is in college full-time, 3 children that live with me (2 that do not)...that eats up (pun intended) my food budget. My rent on a 3 bedroom apartment is $1400/month and I had to sign a 14 month lease to get that (after already living here for over a year). They wanted to raise our rent $300/month if I didn't sign the 14 month lease.

I pay for health insurance out of my own pocket, which is over 8000/year.

Construct ptrs with the base address? At that point, why not just use '+' and be done with it.
"A web server does not fall into that category, so why did you pick it?"

That's too categorical a statement. It depends on a lot of things. Sure, there's a place in the world for PHP pages that take two or three full seconds to render, but it doesn't matter because they're doing something useful and don't get hit a thousand times per second. There's also a place for things that render in under a millisecond because they're getting hit at an incredible rate, and if they also have some sort of interdependencies then Rust can make a lot of sense.

Plus as I've said before, the whole "you're stuck in IO anyhow so who cares how fast the render code runs" dogma has sometimes gone too far. (I know you didn't say anything about that, but I'm guessing based on experience it's what lies behind your point.) My experience in switching from slow languages to fast languages, even doing the same IO, is that you do tend to see real performance gains unless your page was absolutely trivial. Slow languages really are slow in practice.
