Actually I think the javascriptcore restriction is the main thing. I'm not sure that, say, the kindle app has to use a web view (for example)
It should be a camera feature if anything. Just show a small pop-up when camera detects some kind of code in the picture. I don't see why I would need a separate app for that.

Ah, okay. I didn't realize they could contain more data. That would make sense. If it only contained space for URLs, like I assumed, having to open a separate app seems like an extra step, but if they contain more information I guess I can see the reason.
Bookmark and history sync I presume, as well as any other features they come up with. I'd guess Tracking Protection will come at some point?

I'm missing a good reason to drop safari and start using Firefox.

- private browsing
- tabs management
- search suggestions

Apparently all what this version can offers is already available in Safari.

I wish they could sell me Firefox better
I came here to say the same thing, but you beat me to it. It's awesome that Babai has used this moment in the spotlight to deliver a message about respect for the scientific process. What class.
We use CST microwave studio (https://www.cst.com/Products/CSTMWS) for a project. Calculation time on a Xeon E5-2680 was about 50-60 hours per simulation, together with a Tesla K80 it was reduced to about 4-5 hours. Pretty impressive.

Adoption rate isn't very high, since most applications still don't use that power.
All apps on iOS are forced to use the built-in webkit engine. Think of it as if every browser on Windows was forced to use the IE engine and Chrome, Firefox, et al never existed, just a ton of IE skins.

Isn't this the usual SEC definition of a "qualified investor"? It's the same regulation that prevents middle-class investors from buying into hedge funds (or investing in startups!)

Regardless of the merits of the restriction, I can see why it would similarly be applied here.
> Additionally only Apple's JavaScript engine is allowed to use a JIT compiler.

I'm not intimately familiar with the iOS API, but I believe that this is no longer the case, courtesy of WKWebView[0], which was released in iOS 8.

That's the underlying tension. It's hard to avoid, I think it has detrimental effect on the whole industry. Unless schools were sure of the skills transfer from Ada/Scheme to Java/.Net or whatever tech used on a job they could enforce better education of better concepts rather than ensuring a easier to sell resume. The market decided the other way around.

On a cellular level for most all animal life, "nature"/evolution doesn't care about a long healthy post-reproductive lifespan (there was never and couldn't be reproductive selection pressure for that) --- since most everyone can handle western diet approximately up to their reproductive/prime age without adverse effects on their reproductive capacity, I see no "derailing of evolution". Heck, evolution is a never-ending series of derailings by definition.

Sure, they breed kids with a gut flora that deals with indigestable cellulose even worse than previous generations, but will they make it to their own reproductive prime age? Chances are, they will.

Which is all "evolution" cares about, harsh as it may sound.

Your concern is the so called "filter bubble". I think it all comes down to how this kind of system is implemented. Svven in particular encourages you to navigate further from your fellows and it immediately adapts to however your interests (ie. tweets) are changing. A new tweet gives you a new perspective.

5 Reasons Why New York Beats the Valley for Enterprise Software
I'm not sure why your question is being side-stepped, I also had the same wonder. It seems from reading though that the reason this is a problem is CAs are not involved at all in the DANE/TLS scenario. Instead, the X.509 cert. stored in DNS is trusted for TLS purposes simply because it is DNSSEC signed rather than CA issued. However, it seems at this time, no mainstream browser actually supports this natively (some have released plugins).

What I (and you) seem to have assumed was that this was DNS based certificate pinning, which to me would have made a lot of sense.

From the article " As the evidence for the SBST’s programs continues to accumulate, the hope is that behavioral insights become as central in policymakers' thinking as economic ones, helping us build effective policies from the ground up."

My concern is where the behavioral insights are coming from, if they are coming from stringent reproducible tests, that's great.
But many recent articles about psychological studies suggest there is crisis in that field, and so called insights need to taken with some salt, especially if the goal is to create national policy.

Don't social animals give lie to that? Nurturing young occurs, by definition, past the reproductive lifespan. Its essential to have a functional parent (heck even grandparent in a clan) well beyond infancy.
And I assume it's not using Gecko because of Apple's anti-competitive ban on non Apple browser engines? Apple aren't supposed to get away with such nonsense.
Why anyone younger than 50 still pays for cable is a mystery to me. Once the fiber internet infrastructure across the US becomes the norm it makes more sense for all shows and services to be provided over the net even if they keep a similar nonstop 24/7 airing format. You just wouldn't be downloading while it is turned off.
I use Safari on iPad, but on iPhone it is unusable for many websites, since it doesn't support text reflow (my opinion). So on iPhone I use Mercury, but sometimes it is a bit slow. So on iPhone there is still a room for a better browser, imho.
Firefox Home was an attempt to allow iOS users to access all their Firefox data without producing a browser called "Firefox" on iOS and not having it be a real Firefox browser because it was a UI on top of Mobile Safari. Mozilla has since given up and is producing a Firefox for iOS browser that's Mobile Safari underneath because Apple will not give in from their anti-competitive position of only allowing Mobile Safari as the browser on iOS. Chrome, Opera, Firefox, et al on iOS are all Mobile Safari underneath.
The "right thing" was to agree on that before the work was performed. It's too late to go back on that now. The original vesting agreements are all that should hold. If the other founders want to come to a new agreement with some cash compensation or other special status in exchange for his returning some of the company's equity, that's up for negotiation.

Interesting I never thought SMS had issues reaching destinations but I can understand how it could happen. It would also explain why having a robust/cheap SMS option would deter users from Whatsapp.
Right. I really should have been better about data provenance, because I know better than that.

On my disk, I do indeed see `2007.csv`, `2008.csv`, ..., `2013.csv`. Combined, they are 4.1GB uncompressed. It appears to contain 100,488,054 lines (50,244,026 CSV records). Since I only cared about indexing the URLs, I extracted them from the CSV data (this command just pulls out the second column from the CSV file, which is also one of my creations: https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv --- but a simple Python script should do nicely as well).

xsv select 2 20*.csv > urls-unsorted

And then remove quotes (because xsv correctly encodes CSV data):

sed -i 's/^"\(.\+\)"$/\1/g' urls-sorted

Finally, sort and dedupe them:

LC_ALL=C sort -u urls-unsorted > urls-sorted

I just ran this procedure again, and urls-sorted is byte-for-byte equivalent to the data I used in the blog post.

Judging by the timestamps on the original CSV files, I did this around the beginning of August. In fact, I had completely forgotten that I had to do this at all! Sorry about that. When I get a chance, I'll update the blog post.
When I was at IBM (research), they generated a ton of patents. But they went through a process to decide if something should be patented (tell everyone about it), or just be a trade secret. They used or licensed these secrets, which seemed to be all about making chips/ waffers and such.

I think the thinking was it would be difficult to figure how they made said thing, once it was out in the public. If you patent, everyone knows.
I would be using it to check if a user has created the correct DNS settings when they try to link their domain to a webhosting package of instance. Or wether someone has setup their domain correctly to receive emails.
I have developed power loss protection for SSDs in the past. You also need to give an early warning "power failed" signal to the controller to dump its internal buffers and state.

Power loss can be very challenging to get robust especially if the controller uses clever algorithms at runtime to get better performance because recovering the drive state from sudden power loss is more difficult. That is why I think the Intel 520 controller has so many problems because they are using a SandForce controller which was known to use no external DRAM and compression algorithms which just complicates things.

“We have greater moral obligations to robots than humans”
I think it's the specific phrasing that becomes problematic. The GP said "can equally be found in China and Indonesia", which means that there are individuals with said diets in the those countries. This is categorically either true or false.

The parent discussed the diet of these huge countries as if they were consistent across all (or even most) individuals. In my opinion, this becomes highly subjective very fast.

Granted, this argument is pretty pedantic, and the threshold which determines when a group is too large to discuss as a single unit is squishy and highly contextual.
Once we deploy it, any notion of solving the problem correctly dies.

This seems to be the nut of the disagreement. Why do you expect that to be the case? Will good people like Marlinspike decide to just hang it up and throw in the towel now that CloudFlare have rolled out another service? Will CloudFlare themselves decide this is the last new security measure that anyone would ever want?

So far I have seen no technical reason why DNSSEC inhibits development of possibly more worthy security techniques. Sociological arguments are less convincing.
BTW, you are smoking the exactly same air as tree.

Some other patterns I've identified:

Submission Topics:

* Any news related to Tesla, SpaceX and Elon Musk.
* Space.
* Rocket launch events with live streaming.
* Anti-big tech corporations, in context of privacy.
* Dietetics. Will always bring a lot of flamewar.
* Show HNs.
* Completely random Wikipedia article that describes something interesting.

Comments on Popular Submissions:

* One to five words of disagreement (usually flagkilled).
* Comments debunking lies, mistakes and omissions in mainstream news coverage,
often by someone directly or indirectly involved in the article's subject matter.
* 'tokenadult posting a wall of text from whatever personal wiki he's maintaining,
usually full of interesting facts and citations; almost always a top comment,
deservingly so.

And I must say, I love all of them. For those of us who hang out a lot here, HN is a community.
Well, I wouldn't say I rediscovered it. I knew it was old. Sorry if I had given the wrong impression! My references section[1] includes citations going back to at least 2000, but the technique is certainly older than that. (I'm not so sure the algorithm for construction presented in the article is older though. As far as I know, it was a novel result for Daciuk, Mihov and Watson in 2000.)

Beans are about a dollar a pound, cabbage is about 50 cents a pound, frozen spinach is around 1.40 per pound, eggs get as low as a dollar a dozen, chicken breasts are frequently around 2 dollars a pound.

The argument that healthy food is not affordable is garbage. Poor people just tend to make very poor food choices, much as they make poor choices in other areas of their lives that tend to perpetuate their poverty. This isn't hating on the poor (I come from a poor family, I was homeless as a teenager), rather simple recognition of a vicious cycle. What is needed is more education and compassionate outreach.
Content Curation: Things to Consider to Nail a Winning Strategy
The vested equity clearly has value to both you and to them. You should not return it without compensation commensurate to that value. If they were serious about starting a new company, they would have done that already. They likely have not and (maybe) will not for several reasons. First, there's a lot of distraction and expense of going through that process (if they flush their idea again, do they start a new company again?). Second, there may be legal reasons they cannot start a new company: if they leave the old company, does that make you, as a shareholder, able to sue them via a non-compete clause or have other actions for remediation available to you?

As others have stated, given that you and they believe there is value in the equity you own and have earned, get an attorney on your side and find out what your options are to preserve that value. At a bare minimum, if the equity you have vested is considered so valuable to them that they are prepared to follow through with their threats of ditching the old company and starting a new one, that course of action has an $X,000 cost to them in legal, accouting, and opportunity costs. Therefore, it's in their best interest to offer you up to $X,000 to part with the equity you own.

Apple doesn't allow an app to "download code that alters the application inner workings" so extensions are a not possible.

This can be seen on the following shot: http://i.imgur.com/faxbdBK.png from the iOS Review Guidelines located at: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/

This is Apple with its silly policies preventing competition again. I have no idea how a lawsuit against these practices has not happened. In the meanwhile you can vote with your wallet and use some other operating system and/or donate to efforts that fight against such practices such as EFF, Mozilla and others.

We can have a better mobile internet than what Apple offers...
The nice thing about DNSSEC and the ccTLDs is that you can pick what country you trust. So you can get a domain in a country that is compatible with what you are trying to do.

Of course, with domain validated SSL certificates, you also have to trust DNS completely, because anyone who controls your domain can get a cert for that domain.
The "hack" in question was using credentials that should have been disabled once Matthew Keys was no longer employed by Tribune. Also, I don't believe Tribune Co was able to prove whether anyone outside of the company actually saw the altered headline before it was corrected.

It's also interesting to follow how the cost to fix this "hack" (i.e. change the headline back and delete the credentials that should have already been deleted) kept going up over the course of the trial. Initially under $5,000, then $5,000 so that the FBI can get involved, then eventually $929,977.00 [0].

6 Misconceptions That Are Hurting Your Conversion Optimization Efforts

Per @twoodfin's comment that is just a qualified investor restriction on buying the shares. It is a good thing. Since employees are selling common stock rather than preferred, they won't get the same price as the current valuation anyway, but it could let them capture some of the value that is going only to investors now. As I mentioned elsewhere the biggest losers in this unicorn bubble are employees (and to a lesser extent founders) who won't see any value for their common stock in a wind down of a former unicorn. Having the ability to cash in when the market is irrational (assuming they do) would give them an out.
Semantics. Certainly that's true for most animals, I'm not saying parents are programmed to fall over and die exactly the moment they have sucessfully reproduced, clearly in those species only the offspring of caring parents have survived to reproduce themselves --- past that prime age they just lose that comparative youthful invincibility against environmental stress and accumulated damage and the resulting ever-accelerating degeneration..

The reason for this is so that you can use your Firefox account to synchronize data between your mobile and your desktop browser, so that you can have these features while still using Firefox on the desktop. This is a pretty big deal regardless of rendering engine. Personally, it's what made me switch from Firefox to Chrome years ago: Chrome supported sync, Firefox didn't.
Both Twitter and Google help you find information you're interested in. The internet is massive so sorting and serving useful content to a user is valuable.

Google finds this information based on keywords. Twitter finds this information by looking at conversations and people you are interested in.

Saying Google and Twitter are in no way comparable isn't helpful. They are comparable though certainly different!

Google has better information on your preferences and exactly what you're interested in. That doesn't mean Twitter doesn't have good information.

If you follow a ton of yoga instructors then Twitter can feature yoga ads in your feed. While not as targeted as Google ads they still provide value to the user and the advertiser.

Before SoftEther went open source, it was sold commercially as early as 2004. It was renamed PacketIX VPN around 2005 and is still sold commercially under that product name at https://www.softether.jp/1-product/11-vpn (it's up to v4.0).

I remember reading that there was a 10-year agreement that finally ended at the start of 2014, allowing the original developer to go open source. The source tree is different from PacketIX's though, so some of the features are still not available yet in the open source version.

I didn't see a reference to the length of the wire. But if we assume 1cm since it fits in a chip, that cycles the entire data through in about 250µS. Not too shabby for mass storage.

I'm assume you build a bunch of parallel wires since it is bonded to a piezo electric substrate, I don't think you'd be able to zig zag a long wire back and forth across the plane, the bits would all pile up on one end and… do whatever they do.

I suppose a sufficiently clever person might make a drum, wrap it in wire, and send the bits around. I look forward to installing drum memory on a computer in 2025.
