Why ISIS has the potential to be a world altering revolution
I was just reading through some old LessWrong articles, in particular this one about making up categories:

> ... Or you can see this in terms of the boundless human ability to make stuff up out of thin air and believe it because no one can prove it's wrong. As soon as you name the category, you can start making up stuff about it. The named thing doesn't have to be perceptible; it doesn't have to exist; it doesn't even have to be coherent. [1]

Came to mind with the way 'mindfulness' and 'concentration' were being used as 'technical' terms. It felt slightly like Deepak Chopra. Why do articles like this get respect but something like, say, continental philosophy doesn't? Is is simply because meditation is popular?

This is an admirable mea culpa by the author. Sure, he is certainly casting blame on Theranos. However, he also issues an unqualified apology at the end of the article, stating "So I blew it. And I should have included all these colloquies in the original story. I regret the error." Many others in his position would have concluded with a pseudo-apology such as, "I'm sorry that I let them deceive me."
She is very well connected. I will not be surprised if she walks away from the mess in black and not orange.
But why does any of that mean they aren't a technology company?

It's as if by 'tech company' you really mean 'fashionable, liberal, consumer web startup or ex-startup', which isn't a reasonable definition of 'technology'.

Thanks for the note; I'll look into it. Not sure what's gone wrong.
> Not really clever. Format strings have a fairly restricted format; that one can't have all that many bits of entropy.

I fully agree that now is a great time to brute-force every ssh server found on the Internet with randomly generated valid format strings.

However, did you know it before this password was published? I think it was a novel idea.
Yeah, same problem here. Social functions and travelling make it nearly impossible. That's why I won't get up at 5am.
Hey, why not just fix copyright and regain ownership of our own culture?

But the ugly truth is that we will never fix copyright. Not within our lifetimes, not even within the life of our grandchildren.
Also

* because Dole imports from the tropics which have a limited concept of seasons, so the ships rarely if ever sit unused (therefore it makes sense to own or lease)

* because Dole moves products from places way outside major shipping lanes and ports, hiring ships would be inconvenient

* even more so because Dole needs refrigerated ships making #2 worse

Hungary’s Migrant Stance, Once Denounced, Gains Some Acceptance
Arista does run software on their switches. But that is the supervisor, aka the control plane. The data plane, where the actual throughput is achieved, is done with ASICs, and in some cases where user programmability is needed, FPGAs. At no point does Linux handle 1 Gbps+ traffic in those switches.
As a frequent international flyer my thoughts are "Jesus, I hope not."
I don't know how it works, but I have it - I can see red and green and pink in big blobs, but when there's lots of small red and green (or pink) details mixed - they seem the same to me (if their darkness is similar).

Also I have problems with big uniform colour areas it there's small amount of green mixed with pink or red and vice-versa. I was making a sunset skybox for a game, and friends were wondering why the sky is slightly green - for me it was pinkish-red-yellow, but I put there some green by mistake.
I do not think the restrictions make sense. Angel flights while not compensated are not restricted and you can take your friends to the game if you want.

If the restriction is to keep pilots or planes who are not flight worthy from being in the air then take a more direct approach. If the idea is to keep people from competing with private charters and the like then come out and say so.
It's safe to read the article unless you have a pretty extreme desire to avoid knowing anything whatsoever about the film before you watch it. The spoilers are more like "It's set in space" than "Vader is Luke's father".
I don't think it's necessarily true, I remember Linus saying that for Linux' kernel they used a web of trust. At one point you had to trust some people, you can't watch every updates. And he said something along the line "if you're not doing cryptography/security like this, you're doing it wrong"
> "As Feigenbaum understood them, Goethe's ideas had true science in them. They were hard and empirical. Over and over again, Goethe emphasized the repeatability of his experiments. It was the perception of colour, to Goethe, that was universal and objective. What scientific evidence was there for a definable real-world quality of redness independent of our perception?"

In light of the recent scientific crisis it's interesting to look Gothe's work with new eyes.
A friend of mine is in a similar situation. When we talk about it I often find myself frustrated because I'm the complete opposite.

I was raised in a kind of hippie-environment where I could do what I wanted as long as I got acceptable grades and didn't get into trouble. While perhaps as a result me and my siblings are not the most ambitious of people (at least not conventionally so), I can say that I've had a very happy and even successful life so far. Definitely less stressful than that of many of my friends who were raised to be ambitious (and then weren't able to 'satisfy' this ambition).

Could you tell me more about what you did or what happened to you since that 'for a while' period that you describe? I have no desire to prescribe to my friend what he should do, but I'm kind of expecting a personal crisis of sorts in the near future as he seems to be able to only barely managing the ambitious environment he's in and the anxiety-filled, high-pressure life he's led so far. If/when he doesn't succeed, it might shatter his high expectations. I'd love to hear how others dealt with similar situations.

3 Mistakes Small Business Owners Make When It Comes to Cost Management

It's not symbolic. Whatever you think of this: http://www.macleans.ca/culture/the-future-belongs-to-islam/ it's legitimate commentary on a present-day matter of public concern, and Canada's censorship apparatus came down hard on it.
That is my opinion too, but I would go even further and say that this change could have been made on the compiled binary.

This kind of statement must take 10-15 bytes max to patch and the build boxes are typically less safe than source control systems.
I don't think that's what cubano was implying. Nobody would blame women for responding positively or negatively to attractive or unattractive men - that's just taste, and it's completely natural.

However, it's become acceptable and fashionable to shame unattractive men as "creepy" - that is unacceptable to me (unless the person is actually creepy, e.g. a stalker etc.), and women (and whoever else is doing it) are to blame.

Edit: We can compare being "creepy" with being "a slut". It's OK to not be attracted to women (or people) who are "sluts" - you're entitled to whatever taste or compatibility criteria you want in a partner. But it's definitely not OK to shame women for being sluts.
When I was 30-32, I got up at about 04:30 - 05:00 every day. For the first few years, I ran 9km every other day, but I switched to using an elliptical trainer for 30 minutes every morning (including weekends) after I started getting shin splints from running. In both cases, I would do some work with free weights every other day.

That was when I had a systems engineering job with very consistent, predictable hours. It's a lot harder to maintain that kind of schedule when there are crunches and other factors that interfere with a routine.

It's certainly possible that some or all of the CEOs in question are distorting the facts, but it's not out of the question that they're accurately describing their day.
Regardless of their reasons, its a great move as it will push for better support.
I created an website that shows 100+ short small videos on a page. I tested it with common browsers on various platforms. And decided to load only the first 5 videos as HTML5 videos and show the rest as animated GIFs. The optimized GIFs have custom color pallet, the file size is slightly bigger, but the performance gain is enormous.
Nintendo is actually known for not being a PITA to fans who derive their IP, as long as it has no adult nuances. Even then, I've yet to see a DMCA from them.

No, you did not understand, but i frankly do not care to discuss the finer points of the scientific process here.

> Well, given that holocaust denial is legal in the US, I think it's pretty safe to say that it's a fact that it's unlikely to successfully radicalize an appreciable amount of people.

In the US? Unlikely, i agree.

In Germany? It is still actively doing so. Source: I have german ex neo nazis among my acquaintances, by way of living in the same town; and an active german neo nazi in my extended family.

You made the claim. I doubt it. I leave it up to the claimant to invest the time to support it.
If $750K of lobbying makes them shady, what do you think of millions of dollars spent on lobbying per-quarter by the likes of Google, Amazon, and Apple? [1]

Their VC firm was not the CIA. It was In-Q-Tel, which was founded by the CIA (yes, there is a difference). In-Q-Tel has also funded companies such as FireEye. [2] What's your opinion of them?

I don't really know how to respond to the claim about "Cashing fat the .gov", because I can't parse that sentence. I will point out that Palantir has been increasingly shifting to a corporate client base.

I wonder if they can detect the level of known impurities and correct for that.

If the issue is skin contamination, measure the level of some substance that is correlated with that contamination, then apply a correction factor
Dude, your own link says this: "Hitler responded to the news of the conference by saying essentially that if the other nations would agree to take the Jews, he would help them leave."
FWIW, my original motivation was the Air Force general who said something to the effect of "maybe these people can't run 5 miles with a pack on their back, but if they can hack SCADA systems, we need them." I figured I wasn't interested in working for the Air Force, but I'd prove that there was at least one hacker who could run 5 miles with a pack on his back :).
I don't see how it connects to what I've said.

Ask HN: How to scale?
I am interviewing at tech companies and everyone is really interested about scaling.

I would describe myself as a competent software engineer but I haven't ever had to deal with massive scaling of a web app, the pitfals and etc.

I do have some apps running on aws and heroku but they don't serve massive traffic.

One thing that everyone seems surprised is when I say I use postgres, seems to be a bad thing because it doesn't scale.

I follow the 12factor app best practice's, what else should I need to know and where do I learn it ??

Thank you
You asked "How does it necessarily amount to hate speech?" In it i attempt to answer that question.

The rest of your post really does not bear much more addressing other than that "holocaust denial" has a range of forms, and what you described does not fall under it.
I suppose that's the reason. Still, I found the result completely unexpected and amusing. I googled this string just to see if it has ever appeared anywhere else but apparently Google these days tries very hard not to return zero results.
That's nothing financiers (banks) can't solve. There are historical examples of smaller companies buying larger one (especially interesting as a counter-maneuver to a hostile take over bid: though it doesn't usually end well)
Sr. Pen testers make $300-$400K/year. The companies they work for charge a 50% markup. For short projects on a tight timeline, the costs are even higher.

I don't know of any other profession that does do code review with explicit tasks of finding vulnerabilities in the code.

And pen testers love to critique the many, many, many ways in which CSPRNG can fail - even when appropriate algorithms are chosen, and correctly implemented - there are still ways in which compiler options can expose you to side-channel attacks. The Juniper Dual-EC vulnerability would have been identified in the first 5 minutes (Dual_EC_DRBG - WTF?!) someone skilled in that arena was looking at that section of code.

A hundred people gives you enough breadth to find people who are not only familiar with the higher level security concepts (IPSec, Firewalling, packet filtering, SSL, SSH, etc, etc...) in the ScreenOs code, but also people who can evaluate tool chains, compiler output, etc.. And get the job done in a reasonable period of time (90 days).

There is absolutely no way you could scrub your own code with your own developers in a short period of time - not only do they have endless internal responsibilities, they aren't experts in vulnerability assessment (typically) -, there just aren't enough of them to do this in a reasonable period of time. I can't believe that Juniper has large numbers of $400k/year pen testers just sitting on staff. Companies usually only hire a few of those people for several weeks a year - relying on code review the rest of the year.

Also - remember, it's unclear whether someone internal in Juniper installed this code in the first place - you want a third party to check everything over. Leadership has to do something very meaningful here, beyond just, "we had our engineers review the code" - bringing in a massive third-party high-level audit is the sort of thing that will demonstrate transparency.

And? Nobody here denies that. But that is no reason to punish denialists. Just ostracize them from society.

What I've taken from it:

Imagine trying to concentrate - you're likely to be forcing yourself to do it. It's an action of force.

Now imagine meditation - it's a different mindset - one of letting your mind go.

They're different things, but work cooperatively to keep you productive in the right direction.
The sensitivity of the red cones appears to go up near violet (http://www.yorku.ca/eye/specsens.htm)

Ask HN: How do you manage your bookmarks?
I have been following several startup news sites in the past few years, and my bookmark list on Chrome is now huge and almost un-manageable. Having recently suscribed to weekly newsletters (Mattermark, A16z) does not help either.

Considering the amount of knowledge I have stored, I thought about starting a blog where I could share the links in "Collections". But I did not enjoy doing it and stopped after a few posts.

I like to re-read articles from my bookmarks from time to time and randomly browse the ressources (API, tools etc) bookmarked when I am looking for inspiration for new side projects.

I am now looking for a tool to archive my bookmark in a more "searchable" way.
You should really consider investing time in learning more languages.
There seem to be many services for addressing this. I wonder if anyone has recommendations about which one to use? Searching for "auto generate rss" returns at least a screenful of these.

I built https://github.com/sander/lunacy for a similar purpose (CouchDB + Node + AngularJS). After a few months it did become a bit boring, I think mainly because the stakes are lower when dropping out of a game doesn’t actually mean having to sit and watch others continue to play live (you can just quit the app), and because the lack of facial expressions that can give away roles.
5 TYPES OF FANCY SHIRT BUTTONS THAT CREATE a TOTALLY UNIQUE LOOK
It sounds like what Clean Code[1] really wanted. I still think it's a great shame that all his examples are in Java (although, in fairness, they are very pseudocode-ish).

What makes FVP a system, and what makes it stand out in comparison with GTD, is its emphasis on psychological readiness. Here's a quote from [1]:

There are three main requirements which have to be kept in balance. These are urgency, importance and psychological readiness. Traditional time management systems have tended to concentrate on the first two of these. The neglect of psychological readiness is probably the reason that most people don’t find time management systems particularly effective or congenial. The most distinctive feature of FVP is the way that its algorithm is primarily based on psychological readiness - this then opens the way to keeping urgency and importance in the best achievable balance.

In GTD, at least how I understand it, prioritization is rational and conscious. In Autofocus / FVP, prioritization is based on your 'gut feeling' towards the task at the moment when you look at it. This was a crucial difference in my case.

(As for due dates, the author explicitly states that his systems are incapable of handling dateful tasks).
A system that enables (good) risk and tolerates failure while still clearly recognising failure is relatively rare and powerful. The first parts are relatively well understood in business but I don't think the second is.

In most emergent human systems there are mechanisms that discourage risk/failure and obscure failure. Face saving, diffusion of responsibility and the like. These exist in commercial, public and political organisations and are often really baked in to the core.

Allowing failure and burying it are very different in terms of dynamic effects. Ultimately I think success quires reward, even if it is intrinsic. That means burying doesn't help. There's a reality in science that is risky. Not everyone's talent, luck, or instinct are equal.
I frequently am bothered by people able to talk (a lot) during their cardio, I'm thinking they could do a lot better. It's like they're just sitting there ticking a box (I did half an hour of exercise! woo!). Still, better than nothing I guess.

Are they direct holdings or are they kept in a separate subsidiary of Dole? Would be interesting to note if they haul non direct competitor goods, there have to be other fruits and vegetables in the ports they frequent that Dole doesn't sell. Curious if they transport much back
> Genocide denial is extremely insulting to the victims and the survivors.

So? So is calling people "rapists" (without proof or conviction), but we don't outlaw it.

> We've had enough.

I don't care. I've had enough of people who believe in God. So? Why should the state criminalize it just because I've had enough?

> In essence, it's a matter of accountability that we must uphold vigorously.

I'm all for upholding the truth. I just think we should do it by logical arguments, not by government fiat.

4: Grant bureacracy and politics. I have heard of professors and phds that spend 10% to 20% of their time on writing grant applications and fulfilling related bureaucratic requirements like writing progress reports. Furthermore, they tend to focus on topics that increase the likelihood of getting the research grant, instead of going where they honestly believe would be best. In the US, this leads many to claim their research is security-relevant, whereas in the EU, researchers try to find a sustainability-angle in their research in order to get their grants.
I wonder whether the trend began as the amount of low quality click-bait on the web increased. 'Learn More' maintains a purposeful ambiguity - if users have read the summary, they're likely to have a fairly good idea of what they are reading about and whether they want to know more about it.

If there is not much more content to actually be seen in the article, it works in favour of those producing quick and easy content to hit metrics as they won't be over promising.
