Precisely my point. My whole argument is that Islamic canon is partly responsible for the discrepancy, and that ignoring this fact accounts for our ineffectiveness in fighting radical Islam.

It indeed used to be the other way around. There is unique good to the Islamic cannon too.

I don't know where you come from, I don't know what life you've led and things you've seen.

In my experiences, self-control is hardly the actual problem. The addictions/compulsions are manifestations of the depression or the lack of self-worth or mental imbalances or personal issue X.

The less evidence and the more faith involved, the more captivating the conspiracy theory. That's how they work.
How about their behavior?

Displacing democratically elected leaders like CIA has been doing? Lying about WMDs like with Iraq? Being careless in general? Refusing to change, justifying collateral damage with unproven "national security"? Doing nothing to avoid civilians from being harmed? They're not bothering to ensure the military knows what areas to avoid and confirming who's who before bombing. They so obviously put profits first, and care more about having puppets in the governments than about the people. (It is even more obvious in the case of Russia's support of Assad.)

NSA have even admitted they kill on metadata = the position of cell phones, with as much accuracy as programs like COTRAVELER can give you when you have no clue who's who. Guess why so many weddings have been hit? Because somebody 2-3 degrees off from the suspect suddenly meets a hundred people including more people linked to some other suspect. So they bomb the place.

An issue with passwordless is its vulnerability to passive attack. From perusing the source code, it looks like they authenticate users based on a token and uid embedded in a link sent to the user's email address. If that link is intercepted, an attacker can impersonate the user.

A system that addresses this drawback is SAW [1, 2]; it splits a token in half (via XOR) and sends part of it to the user as a cookie, and part to the user's email address. Clicking the link combines the two and submits them both to the server for validation.

I'm trying to think of a use case for addn-hosts in dnsgate. If the user is not using dnsmasq, then they are stuck with /etc/hosts, if they are using dnsmasq then they might as well use a dnsmasq syntax file so '--block-at-tld' can be used. dnsmasq.conf has an include syntax:

echo "conf-file=/etc/dnsgate/generated_blacklist.conf" >> /etc/dnsmasq.conf
YC used to do one batch in CA and one out east each year. I see they've moved both summer and winter to the west coast now. Was it that hard to get established in two places that even they couldn't do it?
Right. I was more after examples of apps in the wild done by "average" (whatever it means) group of developers in an "average" dev shop. A group of rock-star developers will do "right thing" most of the time, regardless of the technology. The question is: can we scale this experience for majority of web applications that most developers keep on coding?

I do pay for ad free content (hulu, netflix, aiv, hbo now, etc...), or I pay then block ads (youtube channels w/ patreon).

The problem I have isn't so much that I'm worried about ads, or entirely anti advertising. It's that online advertising has reached the point where it's too annoying not to block it. The amount of ads I was seeing outweighed the value I got from the content, so I block them all.
There already was a crash of ad banner rates in 2008, in fact that killed many small publishers. You'd have a real bubble if there was a ton of moneys still being pumped into AdTech, but that hasn't been the case for a year now. And you're now seeing mergers and acquisitions take place. A good example of this on a bigger level would be Verizon buying up AOL for their ad business.

Although something to realize is that there are winners in that business. Most people don't think of Facebook as an ad company, but they really do get mobile advertising and from the looks of things they'll keep growing. And that's not just Facebook but other properties like Instagram which will snag more and more ad dollars.

Kind of irrelevant at this point, just like the SDR basket itself.

I mean international finance and more specifically the IMF, isn't my area of expertise but just spend 10 minutes reading this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_drawing_rights

> The IMF itself calls the current role of the XDR "insignificant". Developed countries, who hold the greatest number of XDRs, are unlikely to use them for any purpose. The only actual users of XDRs may be those developing countries that see them as "a rather cheap line of credit".

The Yuan might be included in a basket of currencies that is all but irrelevant to everyone, including the IMF, the creator of said basket.

>This is not a bug, but rather a consequence of how the Unix filesystem works.

Yeah. this is something that really confuses new UNIX users.

But it has absolutely nothing to do with sed.

If you have write-access to a directory, you can delete any file in that directory. You can also create a new file in that directory with the same name as the old file. So write-permission on a directory is a bit like write-permission on everything beneath that directory.

The exception is the sticky bit... /tmp directories are traditionally 1777, meaning all can read, write and traverse, but the 1, the 'sticky bit' means that you can't delete or overwrite files you don't own.

With the sticky bit set, the directory functions the way most non-UNIX users expect; e.g. if I create a file and make it writable only to me, nobody else can overwrite it.
Real economic growth (NB: inflation adjusted) cannot grow infinitely. In fact, growth of the value of the currencies you've listed points instead to the finite nature of resources, since they have no intrinsic value, except as a measure of exchange for other goods and services. Supply of resources being constricted means that fiat currencies will go up over time. That doesn't mean that economic growth is infinite.

Mass murder and terrorism are not the same thing. Terrorism requires some political objective. The only the Charleston church shooting would meet that definition.
We quickly lose sight of what it was like to have been a certain way. Whatever the origin of your unhealthy weight, and whatever purpose a negative evaluation of your past self serves, I think most would agree that derision is unhelpful as a tool for reducing obesity. On the other hand, its prevalence and the language many use while doing it seem to suggest that they find it gratifying. Some consider this a problem in itself.

It seems the author doesn't really understand the low-end pre-paid market. Luckily I've escaped this, but for a long time, this has been what I could easily afford. I had one that functioned best as a flashlight, but most function well enough and are Much better than no phone - and these are better than a non-smartphone. Limited power and space are things that people grow accustomed to, much like trying to avoid using non-wifi internet. Most, but not all, will understand that one will need a bit more money for working service - though understandably, many are replacing or upgrading a phone and don't need the minutes. A year lock on the phone doesn't seem like a horrible thing since it is subsidised - as pointed out, there are other options that cost less than replacing a car tire.

I think it's very clear to everyone not tuning into to the mass-media narrative that the true goal of all the governments and agencies involved is not "preventing the next terror threat" but a power-play for the control of information.

Not only is there no pertinent evidence to demonstrate that surveillance has ever paid off; There is much more so, extremely pertinent evidence that demonstrates the past 30 years of foreign policy have directly contributed to past and current day terrorist threats: Financing the Taliban and Bin-laden to fight the soviets in the 80's, invading and destabilizing Iraq, financing Syrian rebels (in part ISIS supporters and/or sympthathizers) while destabilizing Syria, etc, etc..- Yet somehow none of this is part of the main-stream narrative and a couple months later Obama will be asking congress for more funds to fight Assad and the NSA will be asking for broader surveillance powers.

I'm very sorry for the people that have lost their family members and loved ones in the course of these things but the answer is not and cannot be "more drone strikes" and "everyone forfeit your privacy".

It'd slow down eventually, LEO still has a really thin atmosphere that would still affect a bullet, it'd be way longer than 2 miles though. Effective range makes more sense for a spacegun and would be more of your ability to accurately point and fire than the distance the round could travel. If you can only accurately hit objects within 2 miles the fact that the rounds would orbit for a while doesn't really matter.

Many of the contributions for the ports aren't from the Go team themselves, but from external contributors.

Also, work is in progress to improve build times, although I don't know if that's an active focus, rather than just something that's being fixed as time permits. A few improvements have already gone back to the current development gate for a variety of cases.

I think it's important to remember that development can be done in parallel, just because you see work being done on an area that isn't important to you doesn't mean that there isn't work being done on the area that's important to you as well. Some of these changes take a long time.

Tutset–Curated list of the best programming tutorials on the web
You're not engaging with what I wrote. The trouble is with refraining from consuming so many calories. The fact that so many people find this so difficult is proof enough that it is not "simple" in the sense of being easily accomplished, and that environmental factors likely contribute to its difficulty. Thus attention should be focused on discovering and addressing these factors, instead of applying social pressure to the obese to eat less.
Correct. And it would be a problem if something was listening on 80/443/whatever. That's why '--dest-ip' can be set.

from man dnsmasq:

-B, --bogus-nxdomain=<ipaddr>
Transform replies which contain the IP address given into "No such domain" replies.
This is intended to counteract a devious move made by Verisign in September 2003
when they started returning the address of an advertising web page in response to
queries for unregistered names, instead of the correct NXDOMAIN response. This
option tells dnsmasq to fake the correct response when it sees this behaviour. As
at Sept 2003 the IP address being returned by Verisign is 64.94.110.11

Is there another way to get dnsmasq to return NXDOMAIN? If I am reading this correctly, one would need to do 'dnsgate --dest-ip 127.2.2.2' and then tell dnsmasq '--bogus-nxdomain=127.2.2.2'.

Ask HN: Are you a Twitch.tv streamer?
I have a few questions about streaming that I couldn't seem to find on the Twitch website if somebody wouldn't mind taking the time to help answer them.

Must your streams be live or do you have the option to upload video?

Must streams be screeen casts or can you stream off a webcam?

Can you charge for special videos like exclusive content? All I see is that subscribers can pay for private chats and emoticons and stuff like that, but I'm wondering about actual pay per view videos, such as if there's a particularly imporatant gaming tournament that you would like to charge streaming viewers. Are there other services that offer this that work with Twitch?

Can you do multiple streams at once? Such as a stream of your screen and another stream from a webcam of you playing?

Maybe for this kind of events (when people need to hide) you should postpone the push until the situation become calmer?

On the other side, the push notification can alert people yet unaware of the situation, and save their life.

I guess we will have to wait until Facebook brilliant AI team can automagically figure when it's pertinent to push that crucial notification!

What kind of context hints could be used? heartbeat rate? analyzing ambient sounds like screams, detonations, explosions, or silence? analyzing surrounding voices to detect emotions like anger, distress, pain or fear in smartphone owner voice or other people? extracting dangerous location from media streams, and correlate with geolocalized users' positions? using other geolocalized users' answers (safe/not safe)?

I'm aware some proposition are not really realistic (yet) or somehow really creepy.

Also, back to earthquakes, using context hints of lot of smartphones going from 'still' state to 'tilting' state, in a relatively localized region, could you detect earthquakes occurring quasi real-time? and push a warning notifications to your friends faster than the quake waves? « possible incoming quake in 5 seconds, brace yourself » ( à la https://xkcd.com/723/ )

Communication spying of the PRISM variety [1] is exactly the kind of thing that should aid in the prevention of lone wolf style attacks. You're telling me that a modern lone wolf never uses a web search to find out "how to [buy an automatic rifle/how to rent a car anonymously/insert heinous act here]"?

If the surveillance is gathering up these searches and still has no record of stopping attacks, then two options, amongst others, are: get better filtering and analysis techniques, or my preferred option, disband the (illegal) programs.

It was because Paul and Jessica were having a kid, and it's disruptive to a child (not to mention quite a hassle) to shuttle between two coasts every 6 months. Palo Alto won out as the nice neighborhood to raise a family in. When YC discontinued the Boston SFP, it was still largely run by the original founders and didn't have many (any?) additional partners.
If they had, they would be very tempted to publicize it as that would get them a bigger budget next year.

Allow me to extend it:
I think the ultimate solution will have some kind of multi time lines based video per segments.
multiple video could be related and synced through a manifest file that will describe when each video is played , how it sync with the others and when the user is allowed to switch and to which video .The player will read the manifest and play the streams accordingly. Allowing to the user to switch between available streams in the appropriate time.
I think gstreamer is the perfect candidate for that project.
