Betteridge, is that you?
The only reason the juries "don't understand it" is because the prosecutor doesn't want them to understand. Remember that recent cop Grand Jury indictment where the prosecutor had to "explain" for 3 weeks how...I guess the cop wasn't guilty? While in non-cop indictments, they somehow manage to indict people much sooner.
The medical staff had to take health physics courses and receive state certification before being allowed to use x-ray machines on humans.

The cop took physics in high school and got a 'B'. Oh, wait, no, that wasn't physics, that was physical ed.
I would love to see this make it upstream. I use PaX/grsec under linux and one of my favorite things about them is that they try to enforce w^x.

Unfortunately, a ton of programs break this policy (seemingly for no benefit). Having upstream firefox respect w^x anyway would mean I could remove its exception under PaX and a whole class of possible security flaws just GoAway™.

Ideally, I'd love to see Linux embrace w^x generally, but the kernel devs do not seem terribly interested in that. Either way, keep up the rockin' work OpenBSD team!

Edit: Oh wait! The patch for this is actually upstream! This bit of news is OpenBSD enabling it! That's awesome! /me tries to rebuild firefox with the patch enabled.
I am wondering about this as well. What is going to happen to my favorite small channels? There are a lot of them with very few, but dedicated fan bases. Can I still watch those with having to fork over 10$/month?

Sorry, can't trust anything Google backed. Still really sore about Google Reader. :)
Apache is all open source. If you want tools that work with Riak you are welcome to build them.

I have never heard of anyone using Riak so I am not surprised no one is building tooling to support it.
So the real problem isn't that "when one is up, then the other will magically be up too." That could be accomplished with local hidden variables (e.g. shared seeds on a PRNG).

The real problem is that when you measure A in the "up" direction, and then B in the "10 degrees east of up" direction, then B seems to know that you measured A in the "up" direction.

That is to say: B's probability distribution as a function of the direction its being measured is dependent on the direction that A is measured. There's no way to construct an "A-independent" probability distribution of B's results for arbitrary directions. The probabilities won't sum to 1 and still match experimental results.

It's unfortunate that "A up" therefore "B up" is a degenerate case of this reality where classicality actually works, because it leads to confusion.

Also, follow the links others have provided for a more formal explanation :)
Can you give a link that clearly describes "measurement-as-a-cascade-of-entanglements process" in some reliable source? Best, some QM textbook.

Basically exactly the same as this http://www.flownet.com/ron/QM.pdf (5.3), but in a well-known textbook or some review paper in a journal with good reputation. I run from time-to-time into a discussion which just needs such pointer...
I'm suggesting that there are no such cryptographic requirements.

There are indeed such requirements; look up the requirements for FIPS validation. As I mentioned before, some requirements may not be purely technical in nature. You're free to feel they're not necessary, but some organisations clearly do.

Unless they're trying to communicate that random is worse than urandom, and so it's safer to use it in offline scenarios, but not in demanding online scenarios, they have the threat model exactly backwards.

They're not; I think it's just how you're personally interpreting the text. We're just going to have to agree to disagree.
Never thought I'd see someone endorse trump on hn. September never ends I suppose.

Meanwhile people are dying all over the world due to the Drug War but you can feel smug and secure knowing that you are above it all.

The racial aspect of this is perhaps the most concerning. In my home state of Virginia we have one of the worst problems with this and somewhere around 20% of black individuals cannot vote. (http://www.naacp.org/page/-/advocacy%20papers/Silenced%20in%...) while more than 7% of all individuals cannot vote. It amounts to a modern day 3/5ths clause and the worst part of it is that it's part of our constitution. Only the Governor himself can restore voting rights to an individual after they have been lost and while recent persons to hold office have been in favor of amending this part of the constitution, it's not a trivial process and in the mean time you have to get the felons themselves to apply to have their rights restored.

I'm a bit confused about why you (seem to) think that is a good analogy?

One wrinkle that might be part of your idea is that instead of comparing the act of promoting immigration to the act of genocide, you are instead comparing the defense of promoting immigration to a denial or approval of genocide. Perhaps this is what the analogy is based on?

However, I expect that you are aware that many people distinguish between killing members of a group or preventing them from reproducing, against just outnumbering the group? Some people tend to distinguish between those.

Another thing, you use the term "ethnically cleanse". The association's people generally have for that term usually include an active eradication. Not just ending up being in the minority of the population. Similarly, due to the word "racial" in the phrase, people often interpret it as referring to an act of effecting in a targeted manner those of some specific "race".

most People would generally not describe the act of dropping fat man and little boy as being acts of "racial cleansing", though they did result in the drastic decrease of a population of a particular ethnicity in a region. People are more interested in the number of deaths that occurred, and other damage done, than they are on the impacts on the population of a particular ethnicity.

For most people to consider something to be intended as "racial cleansing", they generally have to consider the the intent behind the action to be motivated by "racial" things, not just the action to happen to have an effect on "racial" things.
I'm really glad about this read. And the best part is that this doesn't really need some government propaganda. It's just made by the community.
Kudos for that.

In Boston most sellers won't consider an offer if it doesn't have at least 20% down. I can tell you that it has not grounded the market at all mostly because the offers are so much over offer and the offers are so much over appraisals that anything less than 20% means the sale is likely to be blocked by the lender due to LTV issues.

My beef is 3 fold: NIMBY, weak public transport, REITs buying SFHs and small multis that historically have always been owner occupied.
What about the opportunity cost of the $66,000 you put down? You could likely earn more than $200/mo pretty easily with $66,000 in cash to utilize. It is too simplistic to say you are saving $200/mo just because the monthly P&I payment is $200 less than a rent payment. That doesn't take into account what you could have done with the cash, property tax, maintenance, etc... Of course the big unknown is the future value of the property, which makes this very difficult to calculate accurately.

I've looked at this several times and renting typically comes out on top for me. I still decided to own though because I couldn't find what I wanted to rent and I care more about where I live than making sure it is the smartest purchase I can make.
Mine is just cygwin with intellij and the cursive plugin. You don't really need much else. Oh and install leinigen to setup and manage projects.
That last question might answer itself. Doesn't excuse that extra measures aren't taken of course. Granted I bet the real reason is general ineptitude towards his job as can often be found in upper management especially in governments.
Yea per month, plugging in numbers I could including a lower property tax rate buying is a bad deal with that calculator even if you stay 15 years before moving and investment returns stay at the inflation rate.

People seem to forget that hacking personal accounts is not difficult, even for novice hackers. The reason most people don't get hacked is either 1. they weren't a funny/interesting target, or 2. nobody wanted to get caught.

Whenever it comes to these kinds of issues I always have the same question: Why is it inherently valuable to save things that are no longer used? I rarely get an answer beyond a reference to the nebulous concept of "historical" that deems it worthy of preservation.

If it were important, people would be using it, or at least keeping it already. If it's not, let it die. Humans in groups have nasty tendencies toward hoarding.

Just my opinion, will probably get downvoted but I just don't get it.

Edit: Yes I realize this was kind of forcibly forgotten which changes the variables, I'm more referring to the constant stream of "we need to save the X" causes where X can be anything from a language to some subspecies of tropical frog or some weird tradition.
How does that preserve things like layout or equations?

I've done similar (though usually less effort) textbook trickery a few times. The Adobe Inept hack is very handy. Oh, and a recent one was stupidly easy: you could view the ebook in your browser, and save excerpts as a pdf, but only 100 pages in total per book. Problem was it stored how many pages you had saved in a cookie, so "Clear the last 5 minutes of browsing history" and you could get another 100 pages, rinse and repeat for all the book and then staple the files together with pdftk.
Block ads, that can be done already. I think the real value is Background Play.
I was going to post something about how I wonder how useful this is since my understanding is that JIT engines need to be able to write executable code to memory, and if you can't protect that, which seems to be the largest attack vector for browsers currently.

Then I actually looked at the post, and it's about enabling W^X on JIT pages in memory. Very cool.
For what it's worth, you didn't get a downvote from me.

I would just point out however that questioning a topic's presence on a forum could easily be perceived to be hostility toward that topic. You might or might not know that on HN gay-related and other not-strictly-tech topics have come up on occasion that inevitably trigger queries like yours (some overtly hostile), and most likely the opposition you are experiencing comes from readers who have become tired of the routine.
It seems like the point of a API is to let third-party developers assume the risk of experimenting with new services. Then Twitter can acquire or copy the successful services.

Sunshine Tips: Personalized comfort zone for hyperlocal morning weather alerts
Agree with weinzierl, you want to look into Bell's theorem. He essentially set a limit (Bell's inequality) to what local variables could do to influence the measurements on both entangled particles. Bell's inequality has repeatedly been violated in experiments on quantum mechanics, which tells us that local, hidden variable cannot be the cause for the correlations in measurements of entangled particles. Bell's theorem then simply states that local hidden variables cannot ever reproduce all the experiments of quantum mechanics.

It's not strictly correct to say that Occam's Razor says we should have hidden variables. Occam's Razor is the idea that in deciding between two or more similar theories (which both have to be correct), we should prefer the simpler of the theories. Bell's theorem tells us that we should reject the notion of local hidden variables.

Importantly, this does allow the notion of nonlocal hidden variables. One such theory is the de Broglie-Bohm theory, which claims that the wavefunction is an actual physical entity, referred to as the pilot wave or guiding wave. It would be nonlocal because the wavefunction collapse of one particle to measure its properties would necessarily influence the other particle at superluminal speeds. Another nonlocal hidden variable theory is superdeterminism, which claims that everything that ever happened and ever will happen has already been determined, so the correlations are not a result of some spooky interaction, they were just "predestined" to be correlated. This would again be nonlocal because the universe as a whole would have knowledge of the particle properties a priori.
20% down wouldn't just mean millenials wouldn't be able to buy houses, tons of people wouldn't be able to buy houses. Which would then lead prices to fall such that the market started to clear again.

Part of the reason housing prices went up so much in the last 20 years is falling interest rates, but another is the reduction in down payment.

Here is an article from 1990 that talks about conventional loans being 20% down: http://articles.latimes.com/1990-05-13/realestate/re-252_1_v...

It would be similar if government backed college loans suddenly vanished. The first year colleges would have very few students enroll and they'd have to figure out how to slash tuition by 50-90% (depending on how expensive they are) and the next year when people could afford to attend without spending buying-a-house amounts of money enrollment would get back towards normal.

It's not that 20% down would directly make housing more affordable, in the short run you're absolutely right that it would make it far more unaffordable.

But in the long run, as the parent said, it would ground the market in rational valuations instead of crazy ones.
What systems do you have in place to prevent abuse?
You are right, it is definitely harder than it was during the mid 2000s free-for-all. People are conflating "cheaper" with "easier" in this case. Just because rates are suppressed doesn't mean anyone can get a loan.
They'd just say: "He would rather kill himself than..."
I agree. It's like Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server shows she's too clueless to be president.

I'm not super knowledgeable about this (and whether it even meets the criteria), but perhaps you will find it interesting.
I can see where the OP is coming from, given that pretty much every sport has had rule changes like this. Baseball's changed the rules of the playing field, and rules of player behavior over time -- they've lowered the pitchers mound fairly steadily over the years as the average pitcher gets better, they set up rules for switch pitchers due to the first one hitting the bigs, etc. Soccer, they've changed offsides rules several time due to things like the offsides trap. Basketball, they added the three point shot, the shot clock, and changed the size of the key to get the game moving and keep it from turning into a slam dunk contest. Cricket has probably changed the least over the years, but even there, the types of matches that are played most often are a lot different than the kinds played nowadays.

The point is (and was) that if things are that horrific, there's no way in hell they could hold on to staff to be as successful as they are. Not enough people, especially in a job market as competitive as the ones they are in are, would be willing to subject themselves to that kind of hell just to work at Amazon.
I wonder if a form of activism here might be to seek out Jury duty as a way to make sure the Jury does understand. To be honest I have never even thought about walking down to the Superior Court building and saying "Hi, I'm here to volunteer to be on a jury, what do you have today?"
To me, it's important because it's harder to understand the past without it.
It's even more depressing in the larger Canadian cities. In Greater Vancouver the average price is 1.47M, in Calgary (which is in the midst of a recession) the average price is still 457000 (and good luck finding a decent job), in the GTA it's 602000 and over a million in Toronto proper. The only affordable 'big' city is Montreal, and even smaller markets with few jobs are far more expensive than an equivalent sized market in the US.

I don't know how many marketers you know, but the ones I know would be perfectly comfortable bringing this up. It's kinda their job to know about this sort of thing.
I think you misunderstood the point of this article. It's not that the prosecutors are "afraid" of losing a case, it's that they are demonstrably losing these cases. And the reason appears to be that the circumstances are too complex for juries to understand. That is a systemic problem, one which we don't have a good solution for.

The response from the Justice Department seems to be, instead of failing at doing the same thing over-and-over, let's do a different, simpler thing. I agree that is not a good thing. But I don't think it's reasonable to argue they should keep doing the same thing over-and-over, expecting failure. And I don't have enough insight into the problem to say how they could successfully prosecute these complex cases.
