> Serious question: Why must the money supply must expand?

Wealth isn't fixed in supply, nor can the money supply be that we use to trade it without bad effects on the economy. If wealth expands and money doesn't, price deflation hits; if wealth shrinks and money doesn't, price inflation hits. For stable pricing, money supply must fluctuate.
Brown people, yes.

Is specifically against HN guidelines for commenting.

Otherwise we're in violent agreement, that whole 'war on terror' thing is bankrupt and it's high time that that was acknowledged in the places where it matters but that will take a lot of time and a very different approach to problem solving.
> we CANNOT allow right-wing political extremism to use them to gather power. THIS IS NOT ABOUT MUSLIMS, IMMIGRANTS OR WHATNOT. THIS IS ABOUT CRAZY PEOPLE.

People who oppose rampant immigration, incompatible cultures, and hostile groups, are "extremists"?

You are living in a climate where Muslims flood out into the streets and chant death threats (and then kill people) because someone made a joke about Muhammad.

Bending over to these people and blaming yourself is not the way forwards - unless you want more of this chaos.

France has one of the largest Muslim populations in Europe, and 20% of this group are brazen enough to sympathize and justify with terrorism when polled. There is a correlation here.
France colonized North Africa, and has approaching 10% Muslim population, many somewhat marginalized. They have a pretty strong historical and current involvement in the Middle East and a lot of people who could potentially be radicalized.
The DOD funds lasers, but it doesn't then has researchers fire them at random cars to test their effectiveness.

Who are you referring to? Trump and Carson are both pretty far right of center (both are pursuing massively reduced taxes, and Trump takes an extreme (even by GOP standards) view on preventing illegal immigration.
it's not a coincidence. I think the correlation between Islam and violence is too strong to ignore for tolerance and political correctness sake.
Totally agree, but we cannot generalize this, I used to work in UAE in construction sites and the company I used to work for used to respect the rights of the labors. most of them I made friends with and they never showed dissatisfaction.

The Guardian is reporting at least 140 at this point. Unfortunately, the number will only rise.
What in what I wrote makes you believe I tolerate radical Islam?
It keeps getting worse.
> I think we have to assume that if a government can hack it, they will try. Perhaps it's sad that a university will help them but I'd also to be assumed that they're going to be trying it in some way.

Sure. And we can also-- for the purpose of thinking about risks-- assume that if a government can torture people, they will.

This doesn't make it right, and it doesn't mean that people should sit idly by. Nor does the fact that people oppose and discourage such actions mean that systems can be left vulnerable to these attacks.

Opposing unethical and abusive behavior is not mutually exclusive with building systems which are robust even against unethical attackers. Human wellbeing is maximized when we do _both_.
You can simultaneously fight against right-wing politicians who would capitalize on terrorism and also acknowledge that these aren't "crazy people who happen to be Muslims," these are committed killers who are murdering in the name of a particular strain of revolutionary, extreme Islam. If a well-organized and philosophically consistent group of Christians were organizing mass shootings with motives gleaned from radical Christian theology, you would be completely justified in pointing to a problem within radical Christianity. For example: I'm a moderate Catholic myself. I condemn the Westboro Baptist Church and their strain of apocalyptic nonsense. If you want to criticize fundamental Christianity on the basis that it spawned those maniacs, go ahead. Just the same, please don't pretend that somehow these acts are completely divorced of Islam. We're not stupid, we can distinguish between moderates and terrorists. It's intellectually vapid to say over and over that somehow an ideology firmly based in one religion cannot be criticized on the basis of their professed beliefs and motivations.
>It seems unlikely that an anarchist would use the term "RINO" except as a joke. Anarchists reject the entire ridiculous Coke-vs-Pepsi circus

Rejecting the fact that a red team vs blue team dynamic exists is denying the political reality of the time. I used the term RINO because it accurately describes Trump, a centrist who is using the R next to his name as a way to get more votes rather than an indication of his beliefs.

I don't think the US government has ever had unsutainable debit levels. At least before 2008 (maybe it is now).

You've had your quote of unsustainable private debit, but not public.
Reworded to avoid offence (hopefully): deaths are not irrelevant, but their exact precise number is irrelevant. What matters is the scale of the security failure, compounded by the fact that they suffered a similar one less than a year ago and they were currently on high-alert (because they've only just started bombing Syria).

The knowledge that a network could carry out such a widespread and well-coordinated attack without being preempted, in a situation of maximum alert, will heavy on the minds of any French citizen regardless of whether victims were 118 or 119. Basically, the French security system has been revealed as completely ineffective. That is a huge problem.
If free will didn't exist, it would be necessary to create it.
The whole crux is the line you've left as a parenthetical.

"The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine, as a non-nuclear-weapon State party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used."

How could a country be militarily attacked by a nuclear-weapons-armed state (Russia) and yet not be threatened by nuclear weapons? Because Russia pinky swears they won't use them?
Most of this could probably be mitigated within the home by installing rodent deterrent systems that emit high frequency (inaudible) noise. It would like drown out the lower signal level of this type of signal. S/N ratio for the win.

I probably ascribe to much influence to religion alone on its adherents, especially in the middle-east. That said, it seems the sheer number of crazy wars people have fought in the name of religion - the 30 Years' War, The Crusades, the Sudanese War, etc... - would indicate that at least some number of the participants are involved purely because they think Heaven/Jannah/something else awaits and a god is being pleased.

Desperation, poverty, redress of (centuries long) wrongs, and seeing no other option than to join the movement do make sense as motives though.

The real solution to this is not to reform civil forfeiture law but to pass legislation that makes sure that seized property is held in escrow and destroyed if a court decides that it does not revert to the owner.

If police/municipalities can't profit from forfeiture and have to pay real costs for exercising it, it will disappear.
Well no. I purposely avoided getting into that territory, even though I have strong feelings probably similar to yours.

Even with the take-it-or-leave-it faux-contract of adhesion permission model, there should be a visual indication when an app is using the microphone. Background microphone (not as a result of a directly preceding user intent) should be a separate additional permission, and probably shouldn't be exempted from having a visual notification with an easy way to mute the passive listening.
Think it through to the logical conclusion: What is a political party? How did it come to be what it is now? What happens when a political party loses popular support?
The repeated attacks, heavy immigration of refugees...I'm hoping for the best, but I feel like there is a powder keg here. Whether or not it is based in any fact, how this is handled and plays out is a serious concern.

Cybercrime Week in Review 14 November 2015 – MailShark
From what I've read on the subject the key unifying element seems to be that those who do these deeds want to 'matter' somehow, even if that can only be in a negative way. How that ties into psychology I have no idea but if you have something to lose that balance shifts measurably, but even then there are still people that can be successfully radicalized. It's a tough problem, that's for sure.
It's not a bad option, and you make a decent case for that. However, the entire point of self-hosting for me is to be entirely self-reliant. Why would I use a github account to login to a Sandstorm Gitlab instance?
The problem is that people are outraged that they attacked Tor when they should be outraged that they attacked Tor users.

Given what the Tor project thinks to be, it needs smart people to poke it.
This highlights a problem I see with stackoverflow (and also google in general) more and more often:

In the beginning of stackoverflow all of its content was up-to-date but now that it is running for a few years a lot of stuff is out of date.

If you google for "c++ pointer 0 or NULL" you get this page from 2008 as the top result: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/176989/do-you-use-null-or...

With C++11/17 these answers are now out of date but this pagr will continue to be at the top of google for the forseeable future.

And exactly the same happens for all other technical stuff as well... I learn Javascript at the moment and at least 50% of all solutions I find on stackoverflow and other pages are heavily out of date.

And this problem will get worse in the next 10 years. Perhaps it is time to go back to curated link directories?

(I hope it is clear what I want to say, I am on mobile and busy with other stuff)
You probably should look up what dhimmi means as you just proved that you've bought the "war on terror cause terrorists" bs. Full on dhimmi.

Great work, awesome how finding a system for you can really get your finances under control.

Now you just have to determine how long it will take you to hurry "wonders"... ie. buying a house, retirement, etc.

Also, have you looked into your financial institution to see if there's an API for automatically pulling your purchases? The only problem with your system now is it require constant vigilance to keep adding purchases.

Rust “protocol builder” spike, could do with some feedback
Heya,

I'm working on a couple of macros and default implementations for a protocol builder which I wanna use for a server I'm working on. It's currently all a bit spiky and hacky, but getting there

the main.rs in src shows how I'm intending to use it, would be great to get some input on what needs improvement and how

https://github.com/chsitter/protobuilder.rs
None of this should be much of a surprise.

There has always been the possibility of bad actors being involved with Tor. In addition, the Tor software is complicated enough that there undoubtedly will be bugs in it.

This is "you bet your life" serious. However, both the architecture and the implementation of software must be perfect for that to succeed. It's pretty easy for one bug to mean "game over".

People using Tor just don't have a chance when it comes to dealing with the NSA, FSB, GCHQ or any similar state actors. Even allowing for inevitable government bureaucracy and incompetence, the disparity in resources can just be staggering. A big agency can easily, easily afford to devote 100 full time people to one high value target. Those are not odds I'd like to bet against.

In the bigger picture, the NSA doesn't give a rats ass about either Silk Road or about child pornography (at least I hope they don't). Which is why an "academic institution" was enlisted to help out the FBI with this.

But if I was a dissident or protester in Turkey, Syria, Russia, or any of a large number of authoritarian countries, I certainly wouldn't use Tor. Not if my life and the life of my family was at risk.
Indeed. I'm sure a bunch of dipshits are already claiming that this is what happens when you allow Muslims into your country, somehow. Gonna wind up hurting a lot more innocent people.
It's relevant to the families and friends of those killed.
C++ is so full of dark corners due to its history and backwards compatibility requirements (both to itself and to C) that I'm not sure whether breaking backwards compatibility to solve just a handful of issues is worth the trouble.
Please name and shame these companies. Thank you.
I don't really buy the comparison that what CERT did is similar to a university-sponsored DDoS. I think a better parallel is the Dan Egerstad case. He ran a Tor exit node and analyzed all the plaintext traffic leaving the exit nodes. He ended up collecting a ton of sensitive usernames and passwords. He tried to contact some of these people by e-mail but they ignored him. So he posted a bunch of these passwords on his blog. He was promptly arrested (and eventually released). At that time the security community was outraged that an obviously well-intentioned researcher was being harassed by the police for doing his job. The response is a lot different now for reasons I don't really understand.

I do wish both sides would acknowledge this is a tricky issue. On the one hand, if I run a tor exit node or relay, it is my node and it seems like I'm allowed to do with it as I please. At the same time, it also seems obviously unethical (maybe illegal?) to be harvesting passwords off an exit node or to dole out vigilante justice to Tor users I don't like.

One other thing to keep in mind here is that SEI is a DoD funded center. It may be nominally affiliated with CMU, but all their money comes either from the DoD or external grants awarded to the researchers at SEI. So CMU the private research university and SEI the DoD-funded research center have very different obligations to the public. It's important not to conflate the two.

The big question is this: what are our responsibilities as security researchers, especially when we're working on "live" software systems? Green seems to be suggesting some form of a review board which pre-approves experiments on live targets. Maybe this is what we need, but be careful what you wish for though. The bad guys don't have review boards.
Unless your dealing with leveraged investments, day to day swings mean very little. Occasionally the market has a huge drop, but right after a big drop tends to be the best times to invest in the stock market. However, mentally people feel the need to double down when it's up and take money out when it's down which can quickly destroy decades of growth.

PS: If you can see a 60% drop and think, yay! great time to invest then feel free. Otherwise, checking once a year is probably fine.
itele says 118 total with around 80 in the bataclan
It was mentioned couple of times on the news and in various places i would assume.
A quick google search shows relevant result in the top findings from earlier this year.

http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/feb/25/...

Not sure what politifact's standing is exactly, from the Wikipedia page there isn't much contraventions surrounding it and it seems to be hated by both right and left wing so it might be "ok".

As for the Iran deal, well it is some what of a show it is a breakout state and always will be however it doesn't mean that the deal won't be effective if it will be used as a gateway for further political concessions within the state.
For the time being Iran is not really owning up to the deal it's halted the dismantling of it's centrifuges http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/11/10/us-iran-nuclear-de... and it's just the recent hurdle in the implementation of the deal.
The deal was a big win for the US as it needed to regain some form of legitimacy on the world stage and it at least gave them couple of more years till they'll actually have to deal with the issue, for Iran it's also not a bad delay even if they'll have to slow down the process if in fact they are building a bomb, as their delivery systems aren't complete and their long range missile program wasn't progressing at the same pace.
If it will end up well or will it blow up in everyone's face only time will tell.
The Iranian deal was inevitable China and Russia wanted it, and most importantly the EU was in desperate need for new markets and new energy sources especially with relations with Russia circling the drain.
If the sanctions couldn't hold Iran could do what it wants anyhow, this way the US has at least some way to try to keep it accountable to something and at least some way to justify a military action if one would ever take place (even tho i doubt it could be ever considered successful, not at the usual expected costs as set by the US public anyhow).
118 dead reported by AFP (80 inside Bataclan concert hall) and 4 terrorists executed by special forces
Of course. But by the same reasoning, there is no difference if there were 1 or 118 victims, which is my point. It's not about keeping score.
Remember we need the salifists as allies against communism.

There are many views visible in this thread that haven't been flagged. One thing that they share is that people aren't attacking each other, they are discussing ideas.

You're right, but attacks that require supplies (especially supplies that aren't dual use, like guns) and coordination between many parties, are the types of attacks that the modern security apparatus is optimized for preventing.
Disenfranchised youths and teenagers in general are very impressionable. This makes them highly sought after as 'marks' for radicalization. Whether they are already believers or whether they re-discover their religion is besides the point, the whole thing has about as much to do with religion as the war on drugs has to do with curing addiction. It's just a means to an end, a handle to get a grip on these people so they will do what they're told to do. The fact that religion pre-selects for people who have a very hard time separating fact from fiction most likely also has nothing to do with it because even atheists commit terrorist acts.

The puppeteers are the ones that matter, the 'terrorists' are for the most part tools in the hands of masters at playing them believing they are making the world a better place (and how wrong they are).

I make no distinction between idiots of any plumage, be they muslim, Christians, atheists or something else, organized or acting alone. They're a plague on society and should be dealt with, preferably long before they can become a problem in such a way that becoming a problem never even enters their minds because they're too busy living and appreciating life.
> Basically, the French security system has been revealed as completely ineffective.

How can a country possibly prevent these things while still maintaining a free society?
or maybe they don't like displays of the Muslim faith.
Unfortunately, they bring the thing they are running away from, with them.
Their backward culture.

That might be the case, but this particular strain of craziness was well-publicised and even experienced less than a year ago in the same place. One would expect some antibodies would have been developed by now, especially considering that French foreign policy is not getting any softer.

There seems a bit of wishful thinking there. We don't know the details but it seems quite likely Islam does have something to do with this.

Very few new projects are written in C++. It's the old products with 1M+ LOC codebases that most C++ devs live in.
The DOD also funds development of guided, chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, and just about every other way to kill a man you can think off.
"Agent Orange" was pretty much militarized by the University of Hawaii under a DOD grant during the late 60's, and they've coordinated with the USAF and the CIA and provided research and analysis to optimize the dispersal methods and study it's effects during it's combat use over Vietnam.
You're right; this might be a better explanation if it somehow captured simple stack machines.
executed?
> How can a country possibly prevent these things while still maintaining a free society?

You can't even prevent them when not being a free society. Its not like terrorism only occurs in free societies.
The correlation is simple: A bunch of fanatics has managed to hi-jack a substantial portion of their youths who are vulnerable because of their age and outlook on life nominally sharing the same faith with their handlers who they look up to, and doing their deeds for them (because they're too old, too cynical or too cowardly to do such deeds themselves).

So the correlation is strong but a lack of tolerance will fuel the generation of more of these, not less.
