In the good old days of using (Napster|Audiogalaxy|Gnutella) I could point the file-sharing application to my collection and presto - it was all shared and available to whoever was interested. Nowadays, I just share whatever torrent I have participated in lately, plus a few that seem popular but rare (those most uploaded from my client) - but I have a whole lot of rather rare music that I fail to share for lack of a way to do it. Is there a contemporary way to share a whole collection or is that really missing from the toolset ?

Well - maybe I'll finally get around to setting up a heeadless gtk-gnutella node again.
What to Do If Your Domain Name Is Stolen
Then there are the Nest cameras, reporting everything you do to Google.

"The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it; moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plate commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. but at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You have to live - did live, from habit that became instinct - in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized." - "1984", Orwell

"Video and audio signals and data: When you enable the recording or streaming features of your Nest Cam, we may record and process video and/or audio recordings from the device, subject to your configuration and settings. This may include capturing and emailing to you portions of this data as part of a notification or analyzing the data to identify motion or other events. We may process information from your Nest Cam so that we can send you alerts when something happens. In addition, if you have the recording features enabled, we will capture, process and retain video and audio data recordings from your device for the duration of your recording subscription period (for example, 10 or 30 days) and you will be able to access those recordings using the Services during that time." - NestCam privacy policy, Google
Shouldn't those parameters then be well known to everybody? And subject to investigation?

Can you give more detail as to why this is a backdoor?

Not that this has changed much, the CLI git has been renamed to "git on windows" but fundamentally you're still installing msys (2) to run git.

That issue is greatly mitigated by the existence of libgit2 though, it builds natively on windows (and just about everything else) so windows git (GUI) clients need not depend on CLI git.

There was an interesting AMA on Reddit last year when the CEO came on to announce they were closing all their stores for Black Friday. The top voted question was from a former employee asking why they push membership sales so heavily. The CEO didn't answer that question until it became clear he had to and then came back on and was shocked! that membership sales was being used as a key metric.

I don't understand why you need this as a hook. In recent versions of git, "git add" on a directory updates the index to match the entire directory, with modifications, additions, and deletions.
>Second, they picked an old car built before seatbelt introduction and emphasized that aspect.

How is that cherry picking? Seat belts are a huge safety improvement and it's a difference that applies to all old/new car comparisons, not just the specific old car they chose.

>Third, they picked an accident type -- frontal offset -- which recent modern cars have been specifically engineered to handle.

Why do you think they were specifically engineered to handle those accident types? They must be common enough to warrant the engineering expense to protect against it.
I love Clojure, but I'm tired of embedded DSLs, they're a dime a dozen. You can argue the benefits of Hiccup's syntax & s-expr all day, but it's still a different, and unpopular syntax for describing HTML.

The ability to copy snippets of HTML from web, or old code when refactoring, or from Clojure/Hiccup to another language & framework, or changes from developer tool, or familiarity for new engineers, or not having to care about what flavor of HTML is hip today is a huge productivity boost for me.

I would love to see push for template strings [1] in Clojure, it should be trivial with macros. It would only take some time for IDEs to catch up. They're good. So good they've even influenced Python 3 to add them.

We must be missing something important if that's true. I have the same question nkurz posted. If you'd prefer to answer it privately, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com.
What benefit are you thinking would be the outcome of the increasing need for doctors and nurses to document what they do?

I am in complete agreement that it would be great to get more data but it should never be on the expense of time that a doctor can use to do what they are most needed for.

If the increase in data is so valuable then it should be no problem hiring "professional" notators who can do the job for the doctor.

In the end this is a problem of not having found a practical solution to a political problem which then in turn is being solved with a political solution (NPM).

"the fact that you THINK you have these different styles"

I don't just "THINK" it. I know it...and I have my own empirical evidence which has shown me which methods work for me (and which ones don't). I enjoy learning new things and have tried many, many different things and have helped other people learn as well.

I also ran a language study group for Japanese (and I had a language learning startup for a short-time) and I noticed the same thing with many people in the group (all the learners are adults over 25).

It may be anecdotal, but to me, there is no one-size fits all for learning. The trick is to find the most efficient way to learn and process new pieces of information and continue with those ways.
Well yes, that's the point! It would have never been the replacement for git because it's the same paradigm.

rcs: revision control

cvs: concurrent check outs

svn: atomic versioning (edit: originally said renames that don't suck - thanks Danny for correcting this)

git: decentralised version control

To replace git, you need a new paradigm. I don't know what it is, and I think few people here would.

Edit: to reiterate, none of this has anything to do with whether git or hg is technically better.
But they call it "permanent press" so those of us who didn't study domestic science don't know what it does ;)

Yeah, fair enough. Come to think of it, I don't even know why I know this. Our current dryer has something on the display that says something to that affect, but our previous ones were old school analog dials without explanatory text, yet I always knew that "permanent press" meant it starts out hot and ends cool so the clothes don't wrinkle.

>"Are you unaware that Sanger Sequencing exists, and the actual lesions can be read? Or that heterologous genes are being introduced with CRISPR methods? Neither of these common results can be explained by the spontaneous insertion of hundreds of nucleotides that happen to precisely match the sequence of the construct being inserted."

The first is just as consistent with the selection mechanism, because low levels of baseline mutants ARE reported (see the Schumann et al and Hendel et al papers I linked to in this thread for examples).

The second would indeed be difficult to explain with a selection mechanism, unfortunately I have not seen that actually published. Instead, the primers used can just as well be amplifying the template and/or the sequence of the inserted cassette is not shown (eg Figure 2D and S1 here: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/348/6233/442 )

The loan view was just an extension of private property. We can loan a chair because we lose access to it while loaned. With immaterial things like ebooks, we do not lose access while on loan.

That has always been the reasoning. Ebooks are not considered property. You are licensed a nontransferable copy of the book.
This is like asking "Why do the police matter? I've never been the victim of a crime!".

The police are protecting you because they offer a deterrent to crime, and the civil law protects by providing a deterrent to your employer fucking you over.

Of course, once these techniques were in place, they conclusively destroyed the ability of governments to control the flow of electronic funds, anywhere, anytime, for any purpose. As it happened, this process had pretty much destroyed any human control at all over the modern electronic economy. By the time people figured out that raging nonlinear anarchy was not exactly to the advantage of anyone concerned, the process was simply too far gone to stop. All workable standards of wealth had vaporized, digitized, and vanished into a nonstop hurricane of electronic thin air. Even physically tearing up the fiber optics couldn't stop it; governments that tried to just found that the whole encryption mess oozed swiftly into voice mail and even fax machines.

Alex did not find it surprising that people like the Chinese Triads and the Corsican Black Hand were electronically minting their own cash. He simply accepted it: electronic, private cash, unbacked by any government, untraceable, completely anonymous, global in reach, lightninglike in speed, ubiquitous, fungible, and usually highly volatile. Of course, such funds didn't boldly say "Sicilian Mafia" right on the transaction screen; they usually had some stuffy official-sounding alias such as "Banco Ambrosiano ATM Euro-DigiLira," but the private currency speculators would usually have a pretty good guess as to the solvency of the issuers.

That's true, and it's true of most languages, and unfortunately people trip over it even when they can totally avoid it by hiding threads behind other abstractions. So yeah, silly of me to have forgotten it.

That said, AFAIK language-level invariants in Java (and Python, etc.) cannot be violated by the lack of thread safety; meaning, you can still inspect every live object and see its state. Program-level invariants might go to heck, for sure. So what I should have said is more along the lines of "memory safety" than "lack of undefined behavior"; I'm not sure what the shortest and most precise way to put it is, though. (It does not quite end with memory safety but it doesn't quite get to lack of undefined behavior, either.)
I read a bit on the polyphastic sleep society's website [1], and it looks entirely premised on the idea that light sleep is 'non recovering', yet it makes up >= 65% of our 8 hour sleep schedules, so they cut it out via schedules that drop you directly into deep sleep (REM and 'slow wave sleep').

I would like to know more about their claim of the unimportance of light sleep. I also don't like that the people cited in the article are writing books and pushing product.

You know you're just making the case for sterotyping without using the word "sterotype", right?

I'm not being snarky, for the purpose of this post I'll explicitly state I'm not making the case that all stereotyping is bad (and not not saying that either). It's much easier to make the case that frats in general are too amalgamous to be held to their sterotype, and that frat membership is not a prerequisite to fitting the sterotype.
Have you used both?

You can commit a subset of changed files in most version control systems, but it isn't smart because you didn't test that state and it's relatively easy to garble files.

Not having the index is a very practical difference for users, because it means that you do not get any editable "staging" commits, only commits that will be on the permanent record.
Good luck pulling that off.
Technically it is viable, but realistically it will result in nobody using your service. If you talk to Facebook users, most are very wary these days about giving third parties access to their Facebook account as third parties have historically abused that access (to post things, spam their friends, etc).

Plus the strength of this approach is directly proportional to the level of reward. Without knowing what a person 'wins' if they successfully bypass your check, it is hard to know if the check itself is strong enough.

It ultimately isn't that hard to make a fake account and add three other random/fake accounts. Takes about ten minutes. Then wait a month. The question is, is the reward worth the hassle?

I don't have a better/alternative way of doing this. Online age verification is an on-going problem, and gender verification is a pandora's box (in particular related to LGBT issues).
Citroën actually introduced the first production unibody in 1935 - Ford in 1936, and Nash in 1941. 1949 Chrysler Imperial was the first car standard with Disc Brakes, Mercedes can however take credit for the crumple zone, and probably side-impact reinforcement.

Unibody as a safety feature is more complex, Unibody cars are not inherently safer (quite arguably a perimeter frame may be safer for some collisions), and until recently they were often heavier for the same size car - it wasn't until the late 70's-80's where a unibody could be lighter than a BOF car because of enhanced computer modeling - generally a unibody however is safer than the X-frame as exemplified in this video.

I think you are greatly overestimating how much physical books cost to produce.

Paper, ink, cardboard, staples, and glue are all very cheap in large quantity. The actual material cost of a book is tiny compared to the book's selling price.

I don't know what manufacturing costs are, but based on what I've seen on "How It's Made" and similar shows it looks like it is highly automated, and so I suspect that for the big publishers it too is only a tiny part of the book's selling price.

The third cost that ebooks do not incur that physical books do is shipping. I'd not be at all surprised if this is actually higher than the material cost and the manufacturing cost for many books.

Putting this all together, if the publishers passed on all the savings from ebooks being "vastly cheaper to produce" I doubt that this would result in anywhere near a 50% lower price.

Of course, part of this is due to a vicious cycle in regards to voting. More older people vote, so the governments listen more to the older folk. So younger people think that government and politics is 'irrelevant' to them and decide not to vote, so then in turn give the government less reason to listen to them.

Not sure what the solution is here.
1) All the tests they do happen at a defined speed, for the front overlap it's 40 MPH [1] which it looks like the video was doing. Can't really fault them for using their standard tests.

2) It was to show how much better cars have gotten in the 50 years (1959 to 2009 when the video was produced) seat belts didn't even appear as a standard fitting on a car until 1958 on a Saab.

3) New cars are engineered to handle all the types of crashes that the IIHS tests for. I don't see your point.

4) The newer car had basically no damage on the opposite side and I doubt the older car did better than the 2009. It's not shocking at all that the non involved side of the car wouldn't take much damage. They don't even track the movement on that side of the car during their tests.
