Fair point, but again, there is a specific grievance involving the Uighurs, who have been persecuted by the Chinese for decades.

BTW if you ever go to a Uighur restaurant try the horse. Tastes like chipped beef.
I would say proficiency makes motivation even more critical, because proficient people know they can go wherever they want, so they're less inclined to put up with bullshit.
One of the funniest experiences I had was building an ARM go binary on an x86-64 linux box using a cross compiler (nothing new there). Then, by accident I tried to run the ARM binary on my x86-64 box, instead of on the ARM box. It ran like a normal executable, which confused me until I realized I had installed QEMU-arm, which installed a linux binary format handler for ARM binaries, and it emulated ARM to run my binary. Of course, copied over to the Raspi, it ran fine there too.
Great city, great people
>A politic minister will study to lull us into security, by granting us the full extent of our petitions. The warm sunshine of influence would melt down the virtue, which the violence of the storm rendered more firm and unyielding. In a state of tranquillity, wealth and luxury, our descendants would forget the arts of war, and the noble activity and zeal which made their ancestors invincible. Every art of corruption would be employed to loosen the bond of union which renders our assistance formidable. When the spirit of liberty which now animates our hearts and gives success to our arms is extinct, our numbers will accelerate our ruin, and render us easier victims to tyranny. Ye abandoned minions of an infatuated ministry, if peradventure any should yet remain among us!—remember that a Warren and Montgomery are numbered among the dead. Contemplate the mangled bodies of our countrymen, and then say, What should be the reward of such sacrifices ? Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship, and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood, and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude, than the animating contest of freedom—go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

I do nightly binaries for Prometheus in all the possible archs, while things should compile perfectly there can be small things that prevent things from cross-compiling.

darwin/arm, darwin/arm64, plan9/386, plan9/amd64 and solaris/amd64 don't compile for any of the 11 binaries (e.g. plan9 doesn't work due to logrus not having support for it).

This leaves me with the list at http://www.robustperception.io/prometheus-nightly-binaries/ That's still 20 architectures I can compile almost everything to automatically with an ansible+jenkins setup.
Some are general warrants so the number becomes meaningless.

cyberspace actually means something

What does it mean exactly? It's not a real place. It's a term from pre-mass-internet science fiction. It's not a term of art. It's not how people in the business talk about it. Talking about "cyber-" is nearly always a giveaway that somone doesn't know what they're talking about.

Computer security, yes. Or information security.

Part of the problem is that the UK government is trying to pass a law to enable their own use of "targeted equipment interference", i.e. state sponsored hacking. This prevents us having an honest conversation about who is defending against whom and how.

We could really do with a "cyber" Geneva convention globally prohibiting the use or secret development of hacking tools by governments against civilians, including their own civilians.

From my understanding Turkey had a basically "hear no evil, see no evil" policy for anti-Assad rebels and arms-shipments across their border and the US encouraged this(!).

As for Saudi Arabia, their government is just about as bad as Assad on human rights - which of course doesn't prevent the US and US politicians from being very cozy with them as long as it serves their geo-political agenda.
Well, conservative's a hard call. It's not so conservative that startups or new businesses are impossible, and it's not like everyone you encounter socially will look befuddled at you if you claim to be working for yourself. It's still the US here, and not some culture completely unfamiliar with the entire concept of working for yourself.

It's just that if you ask anyone around here "Would you like $5 million now, or a chance at an unknown percentage of somewhere between $5 billion and $0 in 10 years?", even the entrepreneurial types are going to take that first one most of the time.

Interesting thought: $5million is totally "f you" money around here in the Midwest; that's retire instantly for a fairly nice lifestyle, plus a quite healthy buffer. In Silicon Valley, that's still nothing to sneeze at, but it'll certainly seem like a lot less; a lot more people for your monkey brain to see around you that are still richer, a lot of single houses that can soak up that entire fortune and more, etc. You could retire instantly, but you'll have a lot more pulling you away. I wonder if that has any influence in the results?

And of course there's also the fact that anyone who won't settle for anything less than the % at billions above will move to Silicon Valley. There's a lot of places in the world where you can make a successful startup, sometimes HN even has articles pointing that out, but there's not very many places you can get the rocket-powered VC capital to either grow a unicorn horn or die trying.
A much better idea would be to have proper separation between processes unless the a user specifically gives permission. Having your whole computer open like the wild west to any software running on it has to end sooner rather than later.

I've said before that smalltalk having an entire OS embedded in every binary was comically ahead of it's time.

I don't consider it "winning" that people aren't hauled to the guillotine. I consider it their basic human right.

This reminds me, BTW, how lots of people have recently, after the terrorist attacks in Paris, urged us to sing La Marseillaise, to express sympathy to the French. That is slightly funny: the lyrics are rather blood-curling.

Do you hear, in the countryside, the roar of those ferocious soldiers?

They're coming right into your arms to cut the throats of your sons, your women!

The only thing that lends credibility to the story in the post you're responding to is the person who's claiming it's the truth. Seymour Hersh [1] has enough of a track record that we shouldn't dismiss it out of hand. As far as evidence goes, I'm not sure the official story has been proven any more than Hersh's story has, so it's hard to know what to believe.

> Rule of law does not excuse or lessen atrocities, it defines them.

Are you saying that codified law is the only thing that determines what is and isn't an atrocity? As in, anything that's legal isn't an atrocity? I certainly do not agree with that.

> Having an open mind, I ask you to look within and ask whether the US is specifically targeting civilians, or has simply targeted military actors hiding among civilian populations?

I don't have any clue, but I don't think that's the primary concern. I think there can be unacceptable civilian casualties even if there is a legitimate military target in the middle of civilians.

> No matter what you answer, you must acknowledge IS is responsible for planning/executing military style attacks against civilians specifically.

Of course, but why is that relevant? The existence of a worse actor does not make the acts of another actor more excusable.

> We can agree to disagree, certainly there is nothing wrong with an all life is sacred approach, but you should not feel deeply disturbed that the law distinguishes between responding to a military attack with the use of force targeted at those most responsible and a non-state actor engaging in terrorist/quasi-military attacks against civilian populations?

That's not what disturbs me. What disturbs me is the notion that a formal law in any way determines the acceptability of a violent act.

This is simply not the case in a lot of places. My wife & I are 31 and 32 years old respectively and neither of us has a driver's license. My mother in law (68 years old) has a driver's license and haven't driven even once since taking the exam.

Of all my friends in Berlin & Vienna I can think of only a couple that own a car & I'm pretty sure most don't have a driver's license either.

This is not unusual for a large % of the population of western europe and the east asia (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, etc).
Possibly so, though if you believe this, presumably the powers that be would not be above fabricating such evidence.

Bear in mind that the data used in this article are from arrest records. In fact, many of the arrests supposedly resulting from online activity could just as easily have occurred because of reports by concerned citizens. Would you put it past the authorities to seize a suspected terrorist identified through dragnet surveillance without creating a record of arrest? I think it is not inconceivable.

If you are opposed to mass surveillance, I think the best argument is that its social costs surpass the benefit of reducing terrorism. But perhaps this is not such a palatable argument after two well-publicized tragedies.

Guy that makes a framework thinks that frameworks are good. Perfect sense to me.
I'm confused.

1. This is a fork from Hanse Kristian, who doesn't appear to work for your company. That is, it doesn't look like BelkaLab did anything but change package.json to name itself as the author.

2. It's a bit confusing why you put the generated demo.js file as part of the repository and have npm (.npmignore) ignore the src files. Is there something special about this demo.js file instead of it being browserify output?
> frameworks let you manage the complexity of your application

Close.

Front-end frameworks are one solution to the problem of managing the complexity involved in making an app.

After working with a few of them, I'm not really sure that they're the best ones.
The law favors the defense in these situations. If charges were brought against the agents, then the burden of proof would be to prove that they knew there was no expectation of privacy. By challenging whether it's admissible the burden of proof goes the other way and it and to be shown that those speaking did not have a reasonable expectation of privacy. It's a quirk of the law.
It's new because the field is only about 20 years old and everything in it is new. I gave you a link to one source, with details. Here's the link again to that 2005 piece from University of Wisconsin-Madison http://www.geology.wisc.edu/outcrop/05/05_pdfs/11%20Iron%20I... :

> [In 1996] there was almost no information on the isotopic composition of iron. Previous studies had not been able to identify naturally occurring mass dependent fractionation, within the error of the mass spectrometry measurements. Therefore it was necessary to develop new analytical methods that were highly precise. ... . Although the field of Fe isotopes is currently in its developmental stage, much like oxygen isotopes was five decades ago; it is rapidly becoming a common geochemical tool.

Here's a PhD thesis from 2004, http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/53550 , which concludes "The observed range in the Fe isotopic composition of the natural samples including biological and aqueous samples demonstrates that significant and useful fractionation is associated with Fe biogeochemistry in the environment". Note that the author received a MS from University of Wisconsin-Madison, which the 2005 article is about, and the New Yorker piece also concerns the Wisconsin group.

So looking to a more recent Nature article which doesn't mention direct ties to the Wisconsion group, http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2013/130719/ncomms3143/full/nco... titled "Distinct iron isotopic signatures and supply from marine sediment dissolution" (2013):

> Microbial sediment respiration supports a major flux of dissolved and isotopically light Fe to the global ocean8, 9, 10, by catalysing the reductive dissolution (RD) of Fe oxyhydroxide minerals during organic matter decomposition11

You asked 'And terrestrial?', but you statement was a flat 'there's no evidence for it', which includes in the ocean. Note that the New Yorker article says "The ancient iron formations share many characteristics with modern limestones, which suggests that they accumulated in a marine environment".

But even then, you say "Those would be something significantly new."

Yes, I believe that's the reason the New Yorker wrote this piece. It even links to the new PNAS article at http://www.pnas.org/content/112/27/8193.abstract?sid=51595c5... , which was published only 5 months ago, which says:

> The continental Fe source is best explained by Fe mobilization on the continental margin by microbial dissimilatory iron reduction (DIR) and confirms for the first time, to our knowledge, a microbially driven Fe shuttle for the largest BIFs on Earth.

So again, could you explain what you mean by 'not supported by anything else we know about this time period, or life on Earth in general'?
When I read articles like this, all I can think about is Pretty Woman. When the main character laments, "What do we do? We don't make anything." And the response, "We make money."

Absolutely. I'd love to hear a solution that doesn't involve putting in 4 hours a night into an Open Source project, after finishing my 9-hour day job. That's not very feasible for someone with kids.
If you mean it as a sort of "derogatory" description of what non-libertarians think of actual Libertarian beliefs, then that makes sense.

However, in actuality, libertarianism and anarcho-capitalism is very clear about what its core foundations are. And you'll only find the left-libertarians that are very wishy-washy about their beliefs such that each one has their own definition of "stuff I like, and not stuff I don't like".

If done at the right time, it would have at least had a chance of transitioning to a somewhat more democratic form of government. As opposed to what actually happened when we did nothing, which is Islamic extremists being the main supporters of the resistance, versus the Russian and Iranian backed Assad. Assad believes that the West will grudgingly back him against ISIS extremists, and not so much against secular rebels, so naturally he turned the bulk of his guns against the secular rebels. With nobody supporting them and everybody against them, of course their presence and influence dwindled to nothing.

I mostly agree with fineman, except that I think it's too late for backing secular resistance to have much of a point. Just like Iraq, we left them high and dry when they needed us, and so now the only chance of having any significant influence is a direct invasion, which nobody has much stomach for anymore.

I'd summarize as grow up already. The fingers of Islamist and totalitarian interference are already all over this conflict, and have been for decades. The West keeping out of it only guarantees that one or the other will win and any chance of secular democracy will lose.
I like Google+ a lot and wish it gained more traction.
30 years is a pretty short time horizon to look at. Western meddling as a driver of chaos and authoritarianism in the Middle East stretches back at least a century or two.

If Europeans hadn’t drawn completely arbitrary national borders all over the region after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, if Palestine had been left to its Arab inhabitants instead of displacing them in favor of European Jews, if the British and Americans hadn’t put so much emphasis on securing the Suez Canal via support for friendly dictatorships nearby, if the US hadn’t toppled the Iranian democracy under Mosaddegh in 1953 to reinstall the Shah, if Western European, Russian, and American guns hadn’t been handed out on all sides like candy, etc., the region would certainly be far different from now.

But it’s impossible to guess exactly what the effects of some counterfactual foreign policy over the past century would be.
