There is already a pretty large threat intelligence information sharing effort in place through the ISAC system established by DHS: http://www.isaccouncil.org

These have seen widespread adoption by medium and large sized companies, and are doing good work. Or at least the one I participate in is; I can't speak for the other ISACs.

They have policies that facilitate information sharing without privacy or liability issues.

There are definitely still a very large portion of organizations that are not a member of any ISAC or similar information sharing group, though. I don't know how much CISA may help with that.
Hmm... I don't see any conceptual reason why separating those things should require completely different languages, though.

What liability does the Apache License accept other than that which is required by law?

Brilliant observation! My brain was fumbling in that direction but hadn't arrived at API before seeing your comment. Toying thoughts on this and API best practices in one's head at same time might lead to good ideas.

Another thing that popped into mind is that this looks just like a mainframe terminal application. Just smaller. Anyone who could design them (i.e. interfaces) well should be able to design these well. Maybe.
Probably a good idea to edit the title to indicate that this is an example attack site as well, not my favorite thing in general to land on without warning.

No js seems to mean no worries though.
Uh, yes, I guess? That by itself is not especially useful.

That's not what a layout language is for.
A layout language needs to be able to specify "A goes 10 px to the left of B".
I work for two large ecommerce stores that only do things during EST business hours. The post office comes at around 4 PM and that's it for the night/weekend. I don't think any customer has ever had a problem with that, since the company is very Made-in-America/family values oriented.
Good point, at most elevations/latitudes there isn't enough snowpack to really ski or snowshoe comfortably till December, so you might end up having to settle for taking one last hike.

Syria's government is pretty indefensible, but its also worth noting that their GDP was approximately a third of Israel's before the civil war began [1]. In most circumstances, climate change primarily effects the poorest- which is viciously ironic, since they typically had the least to do with bringing it about.

@existentialcoms has a pretty relevant tweet to this perspective six hours ago:

Oh come on. This is stupid. You're still in control of when to enable it. Choosing to use autopilot on a two way, curvy highway is reckless. Using it where a child can run in front of the car si reckless. Choosing to use it where there are intersections is reckless.

It will improve with time. Meanwhile, using it on a multilane, separated highway in good conditions is fine.

I can just as easily drive while texting. That's still reckless, and it's still MY CHOICE to do that!

At some point, you have to take it mainstream in order to make it better. Maybe it was a little early, but that's subjective.

Agreed about both books. The Elegant Universe explains clearly how Relativity and Quantum Mechanics conflict, and how String Theory solves that problem. I should reread the Hawking book, I haven't read it since college.

Dear AppleStore, I dare you.
One nice thing is that it is quite inaccurate, I've visited a large number of the sites it tells me I haven't.
I don't understand your response.

When was there ever a tradition where something had to have deaths in order for it to be called a "disaster"? I gave three counter-examples of events which were labeled disasters but which had no fatalities.

While what you said is (theoretically) true, all evidence is that it's appropriate to use the term "disaster" for something which 'displaces tens of thousands of people and costs several hundred billion dollars', and there's no need to distinguish between 'traditional' and 'modern' definitions.

How does your comment fit into that context?
As a non American.. it really confuses the heck out of me that Black Friday sales are starting on the preceding Thursday at like 6pm in some cases.
This story hits close to home for me. Up until recently this year, I pointed to many things in my life except myself as the reason for me not being a self-actualized Asian American.

My internal heckles followed the pattern of "I'm XYZ, so I can't [fit in with this social group, be attractive to her, etc]" where XYZ included:

- too short

- Asian

- not interested in sports

- a gamer

- too poor/cheap

One day I realized I can't change how I feel at the moment, but I can choose what to do in reaction. If I buy into the feeling's line of reasoning, I'm keeping my situation the same. If I'm honest with myself, I'm usually not thinking such things because I'm happy with the status quo.

Complaints about the status quo are useful if they lead to action, but until then they're an energy sink.
Wow. Our corporate proxy isn't going to like that many requests that quickly from one box. I wonder if they can add a landing page.
This is written by Taleb, he is an interesting fellow and I find his thoughts valuable. Recently he made +$1B in a single day with his hedge fund by evaluating risk vs reward with unconventional methods.
I think it's both. They aren't monetizing enough because it's impossible to provide the same value when the same topic can be googled or read in a tweet in a matter of seconds.

I recently did an analysis of caching algorithms and the difference can be quite large. Approaches that only use the current working set are very similar, but those that take advantage of historic data can make more intelligent choices.

So, to be clear, since you never had a single problem with ANYONE shitting on an entire profession. "Crossing repeatedly into incivility" is something youre offended by only when its not being done toward an engineer. Just trying to figure out the logic behind being okay with the literal hundreds of negative comments about an entire profession in this thread but being super duper upset for me being not that polite in response. Is there logic here or was this just a bit of a tantrum on your part? Perhaps we should have some disclaimer like "feel free to shit on other professions, but if you DARE respond to those posts, fuck you."?
This dark pattern is common to many gyms and fitness programs. :(
Catching one giant squid in your lifetime is lucky, catching 4 has got to be talent.
This must be your first time reading Taleb.
On a similar note, i think this Bret Victor quote captures the frustration of the CSS experience very well:

"CSS, a language for specifying visual appearance on the web, is … so complex that it has never been implemented correctly; yet, successive versions specify even more complexity. At the same time, it is so underpowered that many elementary graphic designs are impossible or prohibitively difficult, and context-sensitivity (or anything computational) must be addressed externally. Most CSS lore is dedicated to describing the tangles of brittle hacks needed to circumvent incompatibilities or approximate a desired appearance."

I really enjoyed this book, it unexpectedly drew me in.

A narrative look at the disputes between the Dutch East India Company, the British and Portuguese mainly. It's a more in-depth and focussed look at the spice trade raging in Europe in 16th & 17th centuries.
Thanks! Yeah I'm launching a startup in a few weeks so I had to suspend work on it, but I'll go back and finish it up in a couple years if no one else creates a suitable implementation before then. (And if someone else wants to run with it, all the better!)
Hmm, the subtitle "Bob Lutz thinks the writing is on the wall for the EV maker." looked like an editorial sub-title not identification of the author.

But, I do see "by Bob Lutz" to the top left now -- odd.
No worries. I like a direct feedback I get from HN readers and don't take it personally.

Honestly I haven't analyzed miniz in detail: I found it was one of the choices, so I looked around and used it.

Keeping stuff simple is very important, and it's unclear to me why they introduced anything with PNGs there. I may indeed decide to clean/replace it with something simpler.
I get that you're a mod but jesus christ this is rock bottom embarrassing. A user was a completely obtuse shit head toward me and because I kind of mocked them in response, your response is to tell me to shut up? Perhaps its time for a new job?
The math doesn't add up. Plain and simple. They likely had actuaries analyzing that policy on an ongoing basis to ensure it wasn't causing undue losses. You've got to admit it makes your product seem a lot more appealing if you "claim" you give your products a lifetime guarantee. Then customers get savvy and realize, hey if I just keep my receipt in a box, and make some extra copies for redundancy (digital?), for decades I can get a free replacement.

I equate a claim like that to how businesses treat "rebates". Most consumers will abandon or forget to redeem on the rebate process, and many will get some technical details of the process wrong so they'll not qualify for redemption of the rebate, etc. But it certainly is appealing when you see that if you buy something you'll get 50% back in a rebate if you jump through hoops and send them a letter in the mail.

After all how many people in the world keep receipts around for decades just in case they need to make a claim on the company's lifetime guarantee policy? And how many receipts will retain their black ink for that long? These days I get receipts that start losing their ink days or weeks after the original purchase.

It's a bogus claim. A facade, that businesses will keep claiming as long as "the house" is in the black.

In other words, "It's only a lifetime guarantee as long as only a few of you ever call us out on it".

EDIT: I mention "lifetime guarantee" here. It seems, for the purposes of this thread it's equivalent to "lifetime return" since it appears there was a no questions asked policy when customers would return products (even without receipt?)
Why wouldn't they continue with the programming, and be ready to press charges against anyone who behaves violently?
It's very hard to estimate the probability of very rare events like tsunamis and earthquakes, so you kind of have to use heuristics to get a reasonable "design basis" event. Then you design your system to survive said event. The argument the authors make is that the event was improperly chosen (too low). A proper choice of event would have led TEPCo to conclude that they had to mitigate the danger posed by a higher flood line, by, for instance, moving the generators.
Hey all - Jim_64 here (the author)

Nice to see the comments!

Yeah there is plenty of power in these old computers to pull off the simple user interfaces that are popular right now. I think it's funny how the trend has gone back to bold colors, blocky designs and full screen programs, all the things we were limited to in the 80s.

I did write it in C, so if I did it in assembler, it would have been smaller and faster.

And, no, I didn't retro bright my system. Bought the one in the video from some 20 something dude in Chicago selling off his uncle's system. Seems it was always kept under a cover, so no sun damage!
Even that video is misleading. Autopilot testing is supposed to be confined to highways, not twisty country roads.
Well, there will be a marketing effect where retail managers who appreciate this sort of thing will be more inclined to work for REI. That puts pressure of 2018-era REI to have similar policies.
I can't speak for the other stores, but at their 2 stores here in the Houston area, I'm sure there will be plenty to do :-)

If nothing else, they could go camp out at the Ren Fest that wraps up that weekend.

The term "blend mode" specifically refers to color blending. It isn't just "blending" nor does the addition of the word "mode" at the end of the property indicate some sort of redundancy in the attribute name.

This single slip up as an indicator of the author(s) not being familiar with a particular graphics industry term makes me question the validity of every other claim of "mistake" on the page.

> rgba() and hsla() should not exist, rgb() and hsl() should have gotten an optional fourth parameter instead (and the alpha value should have used the same format as R, G, and B or S and L).

Absolutely not. RGB is not RGBA. Perhaps the lack of robust rendering of webpages across most browsers is due to standards bodies, even lesser ones like csswg, not knowing anything about the fundamental graphics layers powering them.

SXSW had the chance to take a stand for diversity here, choosing instead to show just how shallow they truly are.

edit: Added clarification of which "side" I'm on
It's one of those things where the starting line just keeps moving forward. I remember several years ago when people were lamenting how the day after Halloween was when stores immediately started stocking Christmas supplies and decorations. Now Halloween isn't even the starting point.

I suspect that this somewhat has to do with the decline in retail dollars and the higher-ups are milking whatever they can get their hands on to keep sales going.
Not only news. Articles' future is not articles.
I hit the page from Chrome 45.0.2454.101 and it literally did not get a single site that I regularly visit. It did make a hit on Reddit, I guess, but I have only visited the site two or three times, and you could probably say that about 2/3 of the population.
"Problematic" is too vague a term here. Do you mean "impeachable offense", or "something a group of people think is a problem"?

If literally all or even > 50% of a district court judge's rulings were reversed on appeal, would they face sanction? I've never heard of this happening so I don't really know. But I have never heard of there being a process for it. I am curious what process folks think there should be?
This. I think the perception is that the avatar of the typical Black Friday shopper is the people who wait 12 hours in line to get in a fight over TVs at WalMart. Truth is, most of the sales occur during the day on Friday from fairly normal people.

(I think this is similar to the idea that all iPhone users must be hipster iSheep)

I don't think that's fair to either side of the discussion, or to SXSW. They reportedly received threats and piles of attention over both panels, and they didn't want to deal with that.

They allowed both panels to sign up in the name of neutrality and diversity of ideas.

And I guess people from both sides made sure neither could have nice things. (SXSW didn't blame anyone, but that's my guess.)
this is a banal truism. it doesn't rebut the strong ties that the obama admin has in the nyt. google the word 'obama' on site: nyt. then ask who is kissing all that ass to get those leaks/scoops/etc.
Its good food for thought.
> I'd be a lot more impressed if REI put up new signage in their stores beneath all "sale" signs that said, "Don't buy this because it's on sale. Think about whether you really need this item. You may have already have something that can be repurposed or repaired and completely obviate the need to buy this item at all."

But wouldn't they then be accused of the kind of reverse psychology PR they're already being accused of?
So why not hold the panels in an undisclosed location and webcast them? Preferably for the public, not just conference attendees. Instead of giving the terrorists (for lack of a better word) exactly what they want turn it around and use their threats to garner extra publicity.
I read through the whole chapter and I didn't see anything sovereign citizen-esque in there. It's an analysis of the modern employer-employee relationship.

So... it's probably for the best. SXSW is light hearted and fun. Having someone come in and talk smack about games being sexist, or overly violent, or racist... it doesn't really belong at SXSW. It's not supposed to be a Debbie downer convention, it's supposed to be fun. Plenty of other places to go tell game creators that they aren't politically correct -- if you're serious about wanting games to change / be more heavily regulated just write a letter and drop it in your nearest trash can.
> Nothing makes you more attractive to a woman than the double which represents your bank account balance.

Based on knowing a few people in each category, i would say that that the average white american with a $100,000 net worth is going to have far more success with women than an asian american with a $10,000,000 net worth, assuming similar levels of fitness and social skills.

Once you go above a certain level, there just aren't that many avenues to 'show off' your wealth without looking gaudy. (At least not until you get to private jet/yacht territory) You might have a nice house, but how will the average women know that? You might have a closet full of tailored suits, but are you wearing that every day? You might drive a Tesla, but so do a lot of people in the valley. If you have an apple watch edition, you just look like a douchebag.

At best, women will look at the typical wealthy asian american as the 'stable' guy to settle down with, and not the guy to have a one night stand with, or explore their sexuality with.

My advice is for the asian american to focus on going to the gym, rather focusing on their bank account. And if they have already made money, use some of it on personal training and hiring of a nutritionist.
Building low cost municipal housing has been done before, has often gone very poorly, and doesn't fundamentally change the dynamic - everyone still needs to move to the city, and the problem is still that we haven't built enough municipal housing.

We're presently seeing low income citizens forced out of city centers and into "undesirable real estate areas" within some stretch of what could be called "commuting distance".

The point is, "undesirable real estate areas" is not static. There are tons of wonderful places that are undesirable simply because they are unaffordable (not expensive - often cheap - but without sufficient income sufficiently available). A basic income will make more of these more desirable to more people. Some of these people will chose to move there rather than SF (or Hayward). This reduces demand for presently-desirable housing, which means fewer low income citizens being forced out of city centers.

Now it's true that centralization allows some efficiencies that decentralization does not. But it has some extra costs - and (especially) some extra risks, as well. I really don't think the ideal outcome is "everyone moves to San Francisco."
Refugees and immigrants are "invaders" now.

> The Apache license isn't compatible with GPLv2.

That seems potentially fixable, if they're changing the license anyway. Apache with an exception for linking to GPLv2 could work.

> Isn't it possible to take a standard patent clause and add it to their UIUC/MIT licenses?

Writing a new license is almost always a bad idea, and if they did write such a license, it should go to OSI and FSF for review first.
