You wouldn't even have to cause a crash. All it would take is to stage a couple of car breakdowns at key points in one or several highways.

Heck, even simultaneously driving slow on all lanes with conspirators just long enough to not get pulled over would start a chain reaction that could screw up traffic for hours.
I know everybody loved this feature, but I was pretty scared of all the gross code junior devs might have made with this.
There's a sleight of hand happening in your comment. He's not saying "if you don't succeed, you'll fail". He's saying "if you don't succeed, you'll fail, and could harm the world in the process". But by reframing it in the most uncharitable possible way, you've made that sensible point sound ridiculous.

I think that you would see a much bigger performance increase if websites would not load resources from 10 different domains for serving a single web page (you have a much higher chance of getting some unforeseen delay from one of those hosts).

I don't think price is most people's problems. I think usually it's just

1. they don't want to depend on a third party's existence. If Slack Inc. goes under or gets sold to eBay, the team won't have Slack anymore, and

2. they want privacy. They don't want conversations being watched or sold, especially to competitors.

I'm pretty sure that's all it is. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though please.
What in the world is "red pill" about anything they wrote? Does "red pill" now stand for any case of trying to say men have it worse in some area?

It's an error only when the 'when'-expression is used as a value, like assigned to a property, passed as an argument or returned from a function. Otherwise it's not an error. There's also a warning for matching enum values over an incomplete set of enum entries, but otherwise non-exhaustive 'when'-expression is green code.

You can basically consider 'when'-expressions to be syntax sugar over Java's if-else or ternary operator (?:) chains.

Also, not everyone is comfortable having data exist on a 3rd party system, that they have no audit access to. This is the fundamental difference between "founders" and people who know how systems work.

Cool.

So, when it states, "Argon2
is optimized for the x86 architecture and exploits the cache and memory organization of the recent Intel and
AMD processors," and "We recommend Argon2 for the applications that aim for high performance. Both versions of Argon2 allow to fill 1 GB of RAM in a fraction of second, and smaller amounts even faster," that does not indicate that Argon2 might not be the best choice for something like a RPi A+? Because that confused me. It really seemed like something that assumes better hardware to be a good choice.
I'll take a brutal honest man like Linus any day before a smooth talking bullshiter. At least he'll stand up by his words with responsibility and without excuses.

Compared to professional liars who brought mass murder, civil wars and refugee crisis in the last decade to the middle east, admitting them later and still walking the Earth without trials, I'd say the news sites can leave their critique from Linus and give some more focus somewhere else.

Ask HN: LocalFlow – Cofunder?
Hi,

I'm in SF and it could be great to meet in person a CoFunder for the LocalFlow project.

app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/localflow/id888303663

home page: http://localflow.co

small intro video here : https://youtu.be/9Zm_EH4fxFM

Why CoFunder?

Because I'm the solo founder at moment and work and develop new feature is hard alone.

Why in SF?

Because I came from Italy and it should be great to have cofounder with permanent location in BayArea.

Let's explain what is LocalFlow.

LocalFlow is an Hyperlocal mobile app in Hacker News style that lets neighbors share and discover information of local interest with no need to register.

Local community is the first social network, but there is not a simple and effective way to keep in touch with your neighbors.
With LocalFlow users can simply download the app and contribute to the local community anonymously or they can add their personal data if desired.

They can share news georeferenced to their current position, and get the most rated or latest news happening inside a maximum radius of 10 km.

The rating function is similar to HN but the coordinates of news are evaluated as well. In this way users can figure out what is happening around, but that’s not all.
They can follow their interest zones, for example:
One can follow where they work or live, stay updated about these neighborhoods wherever they are at a given moment; sharing the news or receiving push notifications if someone submits news inside those zones.

This is pretty effective when someone wants to broadcast important news in realtime to all other users present in the same zone.

Cui bono? This definitely could be happening in one of the conflict areas where different global powers are duking it out.

I deal with a lot of fiber optics and our current adversaries are squirrels and construction crews, a determined adversary could sever a lot of fiber and it would be very hard to counter given the distances involved.
What's interesting is that even Hillary is now complaining about the minimal debate schedule. It's denying Democrats a chance to make their case, not just to undecided Democratic primary voters, but to the nation in general. It rings even more true after the superb first debate, which made Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and Martin O'Malley all look really great (and with Webb and Chaffee both dropped out, future debates will be even better).

I think some of the poor decision-making for the restricted debate schedule was a reaction to 2008, when Democrats had 25 debates. It was distracting and exhausting. We're seeing it in comparison here, where the Republicans have far more candidates and a much busier debate schedule, which is winning them a lot of attention outside of Republican circles.

I'm a member of community Slack rooms with hundreds of people. It would cost thousands of dollars a month to switch to paid accounts. That's way too high for volunteer open source projects to pay.
That's fair enough, ignoring your scare quotes. I think a lot of the visceral reaction that gun owners have against these things is the (totally justified) fear that they'll be foisted on us by law sooner or later.
The one thing in terms of security that is even a blip on my radar is that slack does not encrypt data at rest (disks). [1](https://twitter.com/slackhq/status/467476452364279808)

Their reason that they couldn't search through data if it were encrypted is not true. They are using AWS, and can simply use EBS encrypted volumes (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSEncryp...). Should be an easy flag to turn on.

How does employer seeing it or not make any difference? (except the obvious one that it's hard to react to what you can't see)

It's hardly even "acting unprofessionally". It's a lighthearted project where, well, some part of the fun is waiting for the first person to draw some dicks in. If you can't get over it, that's more likely problem with your attitude, not the person's who drew it.
Linus Torvalds would be so happy to hear that Linux is moving to C++ and OOP. http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/c++/linus
One of the ways for embedded devices to address this is require a hardware resident key is part of the hashing process (handled in hardware). Otherwise, if someone can get the hashes, you're not going to be able to find cost factors that provide good user experience and are also resistant to off device attacks.
Slack itself was reinventing the wheel, so it's pretty hypocritical to bash others for doing likewise. Also, the OP gave some pretty good reasons why relying on an external proprietary service might be a bad idea. If you're happy with Slack that's great, but that's no excuse for being so gratuitously negative about alternatives.
yes. and it is consistently faster than slacks push notifications.
I still think Android will be Virtual Machine and Chrome OS will be the OS for both phones and Chromebooks 5 years from now. I also think we will see a move away from Java so what do I know?

The dead can't make another attempt. Personally, I find the 'who attempts more' misleading because it counts a successful attempt as equal to an unsuccessful attempt when trying to compare the problems.

Also, wouldn't a better metric be which group had more people who attempted at least once, as that counts the same regardless if it was 1 successful attempt or 10 failed ones.
Huh. I always assumed Stalin was being overly paranoid when he exiled all of those folks to Siberia for breaking farm equipment, etc. Still a terrible, awful way to address the problem, but it makes a bit more sense if that's exactly the sort of thing the subversives are being told to do.

The second part of your question is a big part of the answer...an IRC server needs to be well tended in order to support the features that people want. I run a Technical Operations (DevOps, SysEng, whatever you want to call it) team...the last thing I want them spending their time doing is futzing with IRC software when there is a solution that takes 5 minutes to set up and is ready to go. Businesses should focus on their core competencies.

For me, the biggest problem was when my computer was turned off overnight, I had to go to some external source to read the transcript of the conversations that transpired rather than having it available immediately, in my application. DMs can also be sent when the user is offline, which is great for "hey, get back to me when you're back on."

I was able to solve some of these issues by setting up my own Quassel or ZNC server, but these were hacks and the clients were no where near as refined as Slack or HipChat.
I wonder, is this (still) common these days? Having a datacenter on a single physical cable?
In my opinion this is a good move. As the post notes, the JS world is moving away from the side-effect heavy code that motivates Object.observer. JS doesn't need any more legacy mistakes enshrined in the language spec, and without an overwhelming need for this it should not be adopted.
Contrary to the other reply, the Democratic and Republican parties are extremely different. It's very unusual for someone to feel comfortable just switching from one to the other suddenly.

And don't confuse rhetoric with reality. The Republican Party is pro-business and, more importantly, anti-government - almost anarchists these days. Lessig's dreams of regulating campaign spending by corporations and the wealthy fly directly in the face of what the GOP really cares about these days.
I hope they keep it in V8, if only for debugging. There are some cases where this is the only practical way to see what is mucking with your object and when. If they take it out of the spec, it would be nice if they could add it as a method to console or something, at least.
It's a great way to quickly learn about ideas and vocabulary in a field, but it's riddled with misconceptions, misinterpretations, deceptive slants, and other errors.

Admittedly I was so confused by the title. Factoring a prime number seems, well, kind of easy.
Wouldn't a (high entropy) shared secret be more appropriate authentication scheme for connecting to a low power device like that?
I find it odd the role that would be 'secretary of technology' in the cabinet is distributed across many places. someone like Lessig would be a good fit in a role like that.

I think not many really doubt that capitalism is really effective at creating wealth. You probably also get most people to agree that capitalism increases wealth for many if not most people and not only a selected few. But, and this I think is the real issue, capitalism favors capitalists. Everyone becomes wealthier but capitalists take a disproportionate large share.
I'm conflicted or perhaps uninformed about what could be the real solution for reducing corruption in politics.

I am against corporations spending large sums of money to influence politics because in the long term the rights of individuals, particularly groups of individuals who do not have a lot of money, erode. This weakens our founding fathers' protections against tyranny of the majority.

I'm also very pro free speech on the individual level. And I feel if I ran my own company I would want to be able to advertise and even lobby for policies in which I believe.

Yet sometimes wealth comes from being at the right place at the right time, or wealth grows on wealth. And, in the interest of advancing society, I am not okay with our representatives being elected based on who threw them the most money. It's supposed to be one person one vote, not one dollar one vote.

Still, even without the super PACs, won't corporations simply find another way to spend money to influence politics? Is this how it worked before 2010? Do we benefit from the the current system by being able to actually track the donations?

Does anyone know in detail the solution Sanders or others have in mind?
Will smart guns introduce new and unfamiliar failure modes? Absolutely yes.

However I think the real question that needs to be examined is whether or not the adoption of smart guns would lead to fewer accidental injuries/fatalities on a national basis.

Requiring that a smart gun introduce absolutely no new failure modes misses the bigger picture... that too many accidental injuries/fatalities are happening right now (presumably... it would be nice to see research on this but researching gun deaths is too controversial get funding).

No one wants to be injured or killed because of a smart gun failure, and the same is true for an accidental gun injury or death. Who wants their kid to accidentally shoot them? Who wants their smart gun to fail in the face of an armed intruder? The answer in both cases is no one and these questions miss the point, much like the 'seat-belts cause injuries' advocates of yesteryear.

It really is all about reducing the total number of accidental gun injuries/deaths.
> an average-intelligence person born to wealthy parents was more likely to be financially successful than an above-average-intelligence person born to poor parents.

> That may also be obvious, but it has more effect on the veracity of the common view of our society being a meritocracy.

Why? There's nothing about that that speaks to how much of a meritocracy we are. Parents' financial success directly measures everything that contributes to financial success (rather than, say, a subcomponent); you'd expect it to be highly informative.

The result you cite still holds when both children are adopted away. Is that support for the view of society as a meritocracy?
