Not only that but they bring hardware for people to get things done. Instead of stripping away as much as they can, they strip away as much as they have to (As Apple did in the past).
YW; I just saw the post late, but was really annoyed at the deep ignorance of some of the comments here -- it really demonstrated the problems of very smart and knowledgeable people making judgements outside their area of expertise with insufficient information. Even if it was not read much, I needed to at least add some basic facts to the discussion. Thx for letting me know that it was worth it!

You didn't learn martial arts, you learned how to fight in a ring (which is awesome, don't get me wrong). You learned how to defeat your opponent according to a certain set of rules.

Martial Arts and self defense is about training you how to react in real-life scenario. They are meant to incapacitate and perhaps kill your aggressor by any mean necessary.

He admitted in court that he made the payments (but said it was all just "role play"). So the judge's conclusion seems perfectly justified to me. If it was all a set up, he should have denied that he had the conversations and denied that he made the payments. As far as evidence is concerned, they had the logs recovered from Ross's laptop in addition to the FBI Agents' own logs of the conversations.

EU Declares US Safe Harbour Act Invalid [pdf]
IP64 would have worked, and would have kicked the can much further than another few decades. If I were asked to invent IP 2.0 I'd have suggested just extending the V4 address space by another 32 bits and calling it a day.

And you'd still have to rewrite all software to take advantage of it.

Everyone who thinks they could've come up with a better solution seems to conveniently forget that no solution would've both extended the address space while providing free backward compatibility with v4. Those are, quite literally, incompatible goals.

Any hacky solution you do come up with (like, say, NAT64) applies to IPv6, as well.

Meanwhile, IPv6 goes on to address a whole host of other issues, like the mess that is CIDR, simplified autoconfiguration, built in address randomization/privacy extensions, etc.
It's hard to quantify risk.

Do you rely on the server to play nice, and not present you with fake login boxes, then all bets are off.
I agree with rileymat on Visual Basic, version 6 especially. Combining that with partly made apps lets people learn the stuff incrementally as they need it. You don't need to know the IDE past step-by-step instructions on adding, compiling, etc. People even temporarily dodged the debugger with the dreaded, but useful, debug-by-print-statements method.

The 4GL's like WINDEV made this more the case. We saw it on the command line side with COBOL. That and what happened with 4GL's in general should be a lesson that whatever we build for new users better (a) be consistent with more powerful stuff, (b) easily integrate third-party code, (c) be easy to port, and (d) do good practices by design in case we're stuck with it for 50 years. :O
Ain't exactly a great example of the scaling abilities of azure....
I have tried and failed to buy X1 Carbon last month - i needed it to ship in less than a month, and their online ordering has no expedited shipping (not even an option, wtf?) and doesn't tell you when they will deliver it by (wtf??) and they don't sell X1 in any store in the area (wtf???)

I truly fail to understand this - the best laptop is not sold in stores, and takes over two weeks online. The other Lenovos are, but not that one.

I hope MS is better with this, but I don't have experience yet.
Google Trends "surface pro" vs "macbook air" vs "macbook pro" is informative. Of course, none comes close to the iPhones or iPads, but it's impressive how much market share Microsoft have snatched up compared to the almighty Apple behemoth.

Dead Man's Switch – Google Inactive Account Manager
Turn off JS. Then it works fine. I think their servers are hammered.
Two points.

One) Can you please provide technical citations to support this? OTP and PKI are very different technology, and the only way I can make sense of your statement is to guess that the OTP is actually a one-time-password (not a one-time pad) used to initialize the user's PKI account.

Two) If the server is leaking data the user authentication is rendered pretty much irrelevant - and PKI with a one-time initialization code would be used for authentication. PKI may also secure the connection, e.g., using SSL/TLS, but it seems that in this case the server was being most dumb - even if my connection were secured using TLS and the best authentication in the world, it seems I would be able to get your data. Which I am sure you wouldn't want. Nor would you be much mollified by knowing exactly who it was that compromised you.
I agree with that to an extent. IDEs are certainly a powerful tool at some fuzzy point in your programming career when you've had enough of the ancillary details and want an environment to help you code. Most IDEs are a distraction to just learning, however, and VB in particular helped me construct a world view where everything in the computer was some big black box I couldn't hope to figure out. Of course, part of that might have been trying to develop on Windows too.
The most bizarre thing about this is that it's all over HN and voat, but I can't find any mention of it on reddit.
Rayiner wasn't feeling heartless. He wasn't even arguing the thing 'DannoHung said he was!

He was saying that the problem with capital punishment is that citizens are willing to accept a 4% failure rate.

That's an is, not an ought, and HN has a real problem distinguishing between those two concepts.

For all we know, Rayiner is categorically opposed to capital punishment. It shouldn't be incumbent on commenters to provide a bill of bona fides for every non-normative descriptive comment they make. More information should improve a good discussion no matter what the commenter's personal beliefs are.
Watch Apache Mesos launch 50,000 containers in real time
Why even have those if you are, presumably, presenting yourself as the same person in each case?

You are person 'A' and you have the private key (and maybe password used to unlock the key) to prove this fact.

You don't need different private keys for each and the remote end just has a public key that says the account belongs to person 'A' and that key is public.
This isn't as far as away as one might think.

2016 vehicles are already shipping either as options or as standard in some trims, safety features which can detect obstructions and take automated action (collision avoidance systems). Some are aimed only at detecting other vehicles ahead, but some are specifically designed to detect and avoid pedestrians/cyclists.

These systems utilise lasers and cameras. They aren't currently being used as a black box but it is practically turn-key, no additional hardware would be required except maybe an SD card and encoder to add a built in car-cam.

I agree that it may take ten years for this stuff to become standard in all new cars, but in the next two or three years if someone wants this in their new car they may very well be able to buy it.

Toyota are adding many of these features to their 2016 cars as a $500 option (lane departure, collision avoidance, etc) on all trims as far as I know.

Ask HN: How do I start building a data infrastructure at an early-stage startup?
Hi all, I am in a bit of a pickle, I'm afraid. A few months ago, I was hired to do data analysis for a small startup. When I came on-board, I discovered that the data infrastructure consists of undocumented bash scripts and large flat files (mostly csv) on a server. I only have 1 year of experience in engineering and I am a bit lost. Because of the lack of infrastructure, most of my time is spent extracting and cleaning data and I often barely have any time to do modelling or any sort of 'analysis'. I would like to build out a good infrastructure for them, but my problem is: there are too many unknowns and I am not experienced enough. My immediate superior does not have a background in data science and is happy with flat files (which I personally don't agree with). Can someone share some stories from the trenches/help me out? I'd like to see this as an opportunity to challenge myself and grow, but I'm afraid that my newbieness will do more harm than good. Thank you.
Given current rates of nuclear electricity generation, and conventional reserves, about 75-80 years.

At full energy supplied by nucelar, closer to 6.

If suggestions that 2ppm concentrations of uranium can be recovered from seawater, possibly a few thousand years, though that strikes me as a systemically risky proposition.

I've seen estimates for thorium all over the map, as well as other breeder-type fuels. Between refining, proliferation, reprocessing, and waste, many risks. We're also talking about nuclear power plant commissioning and decommissioning rates on the order of one per day, until doomsday, with 15,000+ plants required worldwide.

And nuclear still doesn't, on its own, address the liquid fuels problem. Or other resource issues: fresh water, topsoil, phosphate, copper, tin, lithium, etc. We're facing sharp limits on these and many other mineral resources.
Because I use Emacs, I was pumped when I saw that the keyboard has symmetrical keys around the spacebar like a Thinkpad or Microsoft's own Natural Ergonomic 4000 keyboard.

Then I went to the computer with the big monitor and zoomed in on the keyboard photo. The assignments are committee meeting fucked. Fn and <- instead of two Cntl's on the third key outboard. Oh well.
I dunno; My Acer S7 was definitely a competent MacBook Air competitor. They were out there, if you looked.
Good article. Yet again, benefits of BASIC and Pascal kick in. Note that these are still maintained with idustrial-strength tools and IDE's available. Just gotta develop courseware that takes people through a series of problems incrementally learning the language while letting them ignore the rest of it. Gradually pick up both the features, thinking style, and good practices. Eventually can do the whole thing with the whole language and it's already a production language. :)

On a side-note, the questions the author asked were partly solved with efforts like Scratch. That project made a form of programming as easy as playing with Legos. What kids did from there was amazing. Might be lessons to apply in the adult tools.

I studied enough aikido to reach 2nd kyu (brown belt equivalent).

Your analogy is crap.

The only useful thing I learned from Aikido was breakfalling, which could have been taught as an isolated skill in much less time.
Personally I think there is still room for a new version of IP. v6 is still only in single digits. If something better came along (that was backwards compatible!) you could potentially outstrip it. Just because some committee made a bad decision 20+ years ago doesn't mean that the discussion is over. A lot of the people implementing these solutions were children when v6 was designed and they might have new ideas. A 64 bit, backwards compatible version of IP could be a winner. Part of the problem of course is that most people still don't see v4 as needing a replacement because it's still working.
The article agrees with you. It tries to explain why millions of people can add waypoints in SC, but can't build a greasemonkey script for their facebook.

That's not true. The murder-for-hire scheme wasn't simply "related conduct": it was also a predicate of the conspiracy charge, which had to sustain a "reasonable doubt" standard at trial

It was not a predicate, it was one of three different overt acts charged in furtherance of the conspiracy. At least one overt act must be found for a conspiracy charge, but the charge to the jury did not require separate factual findings on each charged overt act. While each juror must have found it true beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed some overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy, we don't know if all, some, or none of them found the murder for hire one to have been proven.

So, really, there was no meaningful finding relating to the murder for hire allegation at trial; in sentencing, yes, what you say about it as an accelerator is accurate.
When did the setter worship start? The gym I go to, Brooklyn boulders in somerville ma, has pictures of the setters and little bios hanging on the walls... for sure it is a creative process but give someone a bucket of holds and an hour and you'll have something that is fun. A gym I used to go to used to let pretty much anyone set, just had to ask.

I think this explains the rating "deflation" where there aren't really any V0s because there is so much pressure to be known as a "hard" setter? Or possibly the dedicated setters are so experienced they don't remember what a V0 actually is? Either way I've found it to be an issue when trying to introduce climbing to novices.
Well, with just grep and curl, it'd be something like:

curl http://slashdot.org/ | grep -o "href=[\"'][^\"']*" | sed -e "s/href=\"//"

But presumably this is being discounted due to the lack of HTML parsing, so not the same as the Powershell example. Then one somewhat ugly method would be using the html xml utilities provided by the W3C and available on most package managers:

curl http://slashdot.org/ | hxpipe 2> /dev/null | grep Ahref | sed -e "s/Ahref CDATA //"

Obviously not as pretty, but it does do a nice job of going through the HTML tree, and doesn't rely on nicely formed XML that /usr/bin/xpath would.

I did not say that I support a culture of personal abuse; I wrote that given the right conditions then personal disrespect can be appropriate.

You agree! You wrote, after all, 'downvotes should be the least he gets,' which is to say that you disrespect what I wrote and feel I should be silenced.

There's a difference between disrespect and abuse, just as there's a difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion. Some people aren't worthy of respect, but no-one should be abused.

Depends on the market. In a competitive market, I want my agent to be as dedicated as possible, not one taking a smaller cut. We won a 13-offer bidding war on a financed deal with only a SLIGHTLY higher price than the 2nd place, all-cash offer. anything could have made the difference in the deal, and I'm more than happy to throw another 10k at the agent to have it locked down.

You're right that traditional agents have incentives to get the highest price, but so does a Redfin agent.
It's zero sum at best. The TV may be on, but if I'm on HN, either HN or the TV has my attention - I'm not really "doing both".

But it may be even less than zero sum, because I may decide to turn it all off and go take a walk (and not look at my phone while I'm walking).
They should. If anything they're more dangerous.

Imagine driving your car at 150mph (or higher) and having a bystander throw one of these drones into your windshield.
Root-and-drop was a nuance I considered mentioning. There's a lot of incompetent code though. I may have written some of it.

The user-specificity of ports I'm speaking of would require that all access to a port be through a specified UID. Port reuse would only prevent attaching to already active ports. Nothing about keeping an otherwise, say, unused SMTP port 25 from getting snaked, no?
But then you loose the USB port. But the main problem of USB adapters is that they don't like being unplugged and plugged back which happens quite frequently with a laptop. With a real port connectivity is pretty much instantaneous. I used USB adapters for a while on a MacBook pro and came to the conclusion that I will never ever buy a laptop without ethernet ports.

What I wonder is why they don't come up with a mini-ethernet port format? Ethernet ports aren't exactly high tech.

Yes, I've used all the Surface Pro keyboards. However, the keyboard is an optional accessory. You can use just about any USB or Bluetooth keyboard you like. You can probably get something industrial strength, if that's what you need....

However, I suspect we're talking at cross-purposes here. I don't know about the Surface Book keyboard. I watched the webcast but have not had a hands-on....

Personally, I think my media consumption has been increasing. I stopped listening to commercial radio over a decade ago because the ads were too annoying and frequent. I stopped watching live TV for the same reason and started using the DVR to record everything.

But now we have ad-free internet radio, and subscription services like Netflix, and HBO, and the content has improved considerably. I'm almost filling up my DVR for the first time in 10 years because there's enough good stuff to watch and so few annoying distractions while watching it!

I think the lesson is clear - make high quality content people want and don't constantly interrupt it with annoyances and you'll increase viewership.

I just watched your video, from what I understood of it it's an interesting idea. I have a question: It seems that in the system you propose money would lose its value if you held onto it, which I can see some benefits to, but doesn't it also encourage spending on unnecessary items? I understand the idea that you effectively have stock in the company you buy from, but that doesn't seem to slow down spending, you may end up buying a lot of goods from a reputable company that you can sell on at a later date without being subject to currency depreciation. To give an example, what would be the disadvantage to stocking up on something like Tide, which as far as I know has a long shelf life and appears to be a fairly commonly purchased item?

I've rambled a bit so to summarise... instead of saving money, wouldn't people save with material goods instead?

Full SD?? Not micro SD??? Not mini SD??? Why again??? sigh

How much really is there to "veticalize" ? Microsoft won't build hard-drives, cpu's , memory modules, or display. And i think the big OEM's already design their own motherboards and assemble.

So the only thing MS can save is OEM margin, and it's supposed to be razor thin(maybe 10%) .

Is this such a big deal ?
That mode is for artists / creators who need the discrete GPU and the pen, it should have no effect on the ports.
In general it's fantastic that the FAA is finally loosening up on drone regulation. Overall the technology has huge potential and is pretty safe to operate in most places if done responsibly.

Class B airspace is not one of those places. FOD can very easily take down an aircraft. These guys are going to get the book thrown at them, and they deserve it. It's very much in our best interest as a tech community to weed out people who act with such disregard. If there's an appearance that we aren't responsible enough for this, there will be a backlash and we will have a much, much shorter leash.

It's probably going to be a tension that we see repeated as we explore drone tech, since Class B airspace is often located near large cities that would be good target markets for drone-based businesses.

Even if the FAA grants the low-altitude airspace to drone traffic there will still be problems. The larger, faster high-altitude drone corridors with the most dangerous traffic would be placed the closest to other air traffic. Having better guidance, transponders, and collision avoidance is a start, but nowhere near sufficient. They still won't be responding to ATC guidance and commands. I imagine we'll probably see a tiered exclusion zone around airports for this reason.
This is cool. It could become a great business if there are links to buy those items. Like Amazon's similar items (which is still within Amazon) - this may help several businesses.
