FWIW, I've had really good luck with running Endrun CDMA stratum 1 timeservers. You can pick them up off of ebay for a few hundred. In theory it's more stable than GPS, especially if you get one with OCXO or rubidium option.
You're better off assuming the network is hostile and then encrypting at a higher layer, ZRTP, OTR and so on.
> We are hard-wired to follow crowds. That’s what ensured our survival in the past. We have mirror neurons in our brain. The sole purpose of these neurons is to mimic other people’s behavior (and choices). Your willpower does not stand a chance against thousands of years of evolution.

regarding: "Actually, at its core Marxism is about this motto: (take) from each according to his ability, (give) to each according to his needs."

In a communist society there is no state to "take" or "give" in that way.

Nor is Marx's thought or marxism "about [that] motto" "at its core".

If you have arguments to make about a basic income, can you please make them without so badly misrepresenting the thought of others?

I happen to agree that a UBI is silly, bad goal but I'm offended at how falsely Marx is being described here.

Along similar lines. Anyone with a shark phobia has something new to fear: Great whites also hunt in packs.

>At Seal Island, white sharks arrive and depart year after year in stable “clans” of two to six individuals. Whether clan members are related is unknown, but they get along peacefully enough. In fact, the social structure of a clan is probably most aptly compared to that of a wolf pack.

You're probably thinking of Chris Paget's Defcon 18 talk demonstrating an OpenBTS/USRP/Asterix based 2G IMSI catcher.

Also, it's not entirely illegal to operate on some cellular frequencies which overlap with ham bands, if you're a licensed ham radio operator, which Chris apparently was (KJ6GCG).

He also had to disable encryption (illegal on ham bands), use extremely low power and a highly directional antenna (to ensure he didn't intercept anyone outside of the room), and ensure everyone inside the room was aware of the demonstration (IIRC there were signs outside the room). He also destroyed the USB stick the base station was writing to. Even then it was definitely a legal gray area...
30 developers in a cheap country cost less than 2 million per year I think. I'm not 100% of their wages and taxes though
Disagree with many of these sentiments here. As a performance marketer, and someone who also was in the games industry:

FB Gaming market has flattened. FB has taken numerous methods to rely less on gaming revenue. FB revenues was 10% from game companies when the company went IPO. Much less now, not even mentioned.

Mobile is good at driving mobile installs at scale, limited competitors here. But as a general performance marketing channel, they do better at ecommerce and consumer focused businesses.

Most of FB advertising revenue is coming in from Brand marketing. Performance is steadily growing, but not as you suggest, the reason for this growth.
Not surprised. I was reading about a town in Kentucky where they polluted the local air by having all these old facotries that were still being in use

If the move's objectively good, there would be no variation in moves between players. Since there is variation, I assume different players apply different heuristics for 'good'. And whether the move increases their piece count is a fine justification, but why are you privileging increasing your piece count at this point in this game against this opponent? At some point the answer becomes 'because I learned to'.
I have several colleagues in the retail industry talking about free Wi-Fi being "the next big thing" and several major chains are only just jumping on board. I'm incredibly confused by it - we've reached a point where everyone has a mobile device with 4G at better speeds than the 1MB DSL service shared across 20 patrons.

I would have sworn from a technology point of view, that buying a bunch of APs to offer free Internet in your café would be a dying trend.
Harris Corp is not sneaking behind the FCC's back, the FCC specifically approved this use and licensed the device. In any other situation if someone tried to broadcast on licensed spectrum the FCC would come down on them like a ton of bricks.
What we really need is opportunistic unauthenticated encryption with key pinning as a fallback between CA-signed https and plain http. Beating mass passive snooping is worthwhile even if MITM is still a risk.
Because the average person doesn't use PGP. Only a few people use PGP, and the very fact that they use PGP makes them stand out in a big way when you're doing bulk collection.
True, which is why you need to augment it with other services...for example Custora: https://www.custora.com/tour/retention_lifecycle_marketing/

Please don't be rude to others on HN, especially when you think they're wrong. The GP shouldn't have been so aggressive, but replying like this makes things worse.

Your comment would be fine without its first and third sentences.
The point is that the average person doesn't use PGP.

My take: If someone has something to hide, they're likely to encrypt their communications. Encrypting their communications alerts the NSA that this person has something to hide.

A cursory search doesn't reveal a where-to-be-born [1] or human development [2] index for the lower half or quartile of a given nation's population. It would indeed be an interesting thing to view. I suspect that there's something to be said about the mean score vs the spread of values across the various quartiles of the populations of the countries.

I'm not sure if this is what you are asking for, but here goes:

"Rustom Ali, Ph.D. appealed a January 13, 2005 decision by Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Keith W. Sickendick. Sonali Diagnostic Laboratory, DAB CR1267 (ALJ Decision). The ALJ Decision upheld the actions by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) revoking the certificate issued to Dr. Ali's laboratory under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), and imposing a civil money penalty of $10,000 per day for the period August 4-6, 2001. The appealed actions were based on a review by the Arizona Department of Health (the State agency) finding deficiencies at Sonali Diagnostic Laboratory (Sonali) that posed immediate jeopardy to patient health and safety."

http://www.hhs.gov/dab/decisions/dab2008.htm

"Based on the foregoing discussion, we affirm and adopt the ALJ's Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and affirm the ALJ's decision to uphold CMS's revocation of Sonali's CLIA certificate and imposition a $30,000 CMP. By operation of 42 U.S.C.§ 263a(i)(3), Dr. Ali is subject to the two-year prohibition on owning or operating a CLIA-certified laboratory."
It's discoverable in the sense that if you do the right thing, you discover it. It's undiscoverable in the sense that, even now with long-tap being a fairly common "right click" on touch devices, there's no indication (unless I've missed one) that a long tap does anything here until you try it by accident. It's not a question of "that's hard to do", but of "why would you even do that?" A horizontal pinch-zoom or horizontal drag would be arguably more intuitive as a way to expand the like button.

Yes, having more to lose can make people more cautious. But if you're worried about money's effects on the poor then you should be even more worried about its effects on the middle classes and the rich, since they have even more to lose, right?

The idea that the poor can't handle money or would somehow be better off without it is silly paternalistic thinking of the sort that basic income is supposed to do away with. The income streams we're talking about are pretty modest and all the evidence so far is that most people can handle it.

Its effects on inflation are overblown too. Other than real estate, we're not seeing much in the way of inflation. And on the margin, an income that's not tied to a job makes it easier to move to cheaper places. (Why do you think so many retirees live in Florida?)
It's a complex issue. There are no "exurbs" in China. There is no concept of clean countryside living except maybe coastal cities like Quingdao that are pleasant if not in the center of commerce.

People want to live in the first tier cities. The growth of these cities was, until recently, powered by fast construction of new coal fueled power plants. The pay is higher, the public amenities are better, and, relatively, the pollution isn't as bad as living next to paper mills and aluminum smelters.
I tried out caddyserver about an hour ago, and the ease of use is awesome. Had it serving my domain with a letsencrypt auto-generated cert in 2 minutes from never having looked at the caddy docs before.
Main problem still is Google: They consider HTTPS and HTTP links the same. When switching a site to HTTPS you lose all your incoming links. Redirects only transfer a small amount of juice. You're toast.

We tried migrating several times to HTTPS only, every time got a huge penalty from Google.

So Google is the main driver for HTTP websites.
Not who you're asking, but this is clearly a problem for infants and young toddlers (the data is fairly strong for under 18 months, and gets less clear the older you get from there), though it still gives the children the human interaction they need.

Results are best when there is a single primary care-giver and a small number of other regular care-givers, and day-care tends to not allow for this.

Things get much worse, however, when the staff of the day-care is either too few or too neglectful, as human contact and interaction is so important for early development.

It is possible that we could create a sufficient facsimile of a human to allow for automated care of a child that would fulfill these needs, but there is a creep factor in that, and there remains the question of how one would ethically test the efficacy of such a system.

From looking at the FAA registry[1] and googling, it looks like the Anaheim police department operates 3 aircraft: N226PD, an AS350 helicopter; N326PD, another AS350 helicopter; N508BH, a Cessna 208B.

N508BH, the Cessna, is probably the one they're using for surveillance (See the 2012 OC Register article, "$2.2 million Cessna will help fight crime"[2]).

FlightAware shows that N508BH flies to northern california a lot. You can also see what looks like a probable surveillance flight path at http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N508BH/history/20151128/2...

Three aircraft for a California city with population 350K isn't crazy--Glendale and Burbank together have about 300K people, and their police forces have gone in together to create a "joint air support division" that has 4 helicopters[3].

This news is dismaying.

For many years, I've been running many Linux VMs and a few Windows VMs using Fusion on various Mac hardware and OSes. It's been super-helpful to my workflow (mostly teaching-related), at very low cost, measured in either dollars or hours.

I think that's part of the key, if you're going to try to outshine your neighbors you're only wasting money for a momentary victory. I had an uncle who told me he was glad he moved from the neighborhood he was in for that very reason.
I see some major issues here.

1. Weather - The higher the frequency, the more things like rain/fog/sleet/snow start to affect you. For example, 24ghz in Florida is useless for more than about 1 mile, unless you're okay with it going out in the rain. In Arizona, it's great for up to 5 miles. 39ghz will be more limited than this.

2. Spectrum - The most efficient radios I know of achieve about 10bps/hz -- that means you need 100mhz of spectrum for 1gb/s. That's total speed, a 900x100 or a 500x500 connection. I don't know the details of what technology is being used or planned here but it's going to be at least half of that for a practical multi-point system, even worse since these will be user-installed where someone will settle on a weak signal that burns more spectrum for the same speed. My guess is around 2bps/hz, but I'll stick with 5 for now, giving the benefit of the doubt. Assuming the entire 39ghz(39000mhz to 39999mhz) band is available for use, at a likely best-case scenario of 5bps/hz that's about 5gb/s of traffic for any given signal area. If you're selling 1gb connections, even at a 50 to 1 oversubscription rate, that's only 250 connections. That will barely put a dent in an urban environment with 100,000+ people.

3. Spectrum re-use. Cell companies are able to re-use the spectrum they have because they can control with a good degree of accuracy where their signal goes. At 39ghz, this signal is going to reflect off anything and everything, making spectrum planning very difficult. You might need two access points on either side of a large building for coverage, but thanks to reflections, you won't be able to re-use any of that spectrum because the signal will be bouncing all over. You have very little control over where your signal goes in an urban environment. A truck driving down the road may send your signal 2 miles in the direction you don't want it to go.

4. Bandwidth -- How many rooftops have 10+gb/s of internet available? Probably not many unless you happen to get lucky and have a carrier hotel in the same place you need signal.

I'm a feet-on-the-ground(or sometimes tower) guy, so these are napkin numbers. I've seen a couple of real wireless engineers around here, maybe one of them can pitch in with some more concrete numbers.

When Aereo first started, it was a sound idea with very little in the way on the technical side for implementation. As we know, Aereo's problems weren't technical. This project has many apparent technical issues, and probably some legal ones as well.

I don't want to unnecessarily poo-poo his project. If it works I will be glad -- it will be another tool I can use to do my job -- but it seems like he's promising rainbows and unicorns right now, like so many other investor-bait news articles I read.

I looked it up, and it seems that while IP will reassemble packets, there is no 1-1 mapping between send calls and IP packets, when using TCP.

You are only guaranteed to get the bytes in the correct order but you have to find the boundaries between messages yourself.
He was generalizing. In general, people feel strong compulsions to assimilate with those around them and most of the time will do so to at least a certain degree.

Proper qualifying every statement would turn the simplest of blog posts into a massive manuscript! Hence we must be a little charitable when reading.
Its very much an extrapolation of mirror neurons.
Question: Why is work a good thing? Much of the work that gets done is all heat and no light.

It's really interesting to read this discussion and get a sense of how deeply the work-ethic is ingrained. Many commenters can't seem to imagine that people would do anything productive if they're not paid to do it. Is this really what you believe?
Any source for that?

It's not like it's crazy hard to make a small digital antenna, so I'm not sure why it would be in doubt that they did so.
A lot of people misunderstood you. physcab isn't talking about gaming on Facebook. He's talking about Game of War and Clash of Clans, which are both mobile games. Like another poster has said, games are 75% of the top grossing on the App Store. And absolutely most of Facebook's revenue, if not literally all of it, is mobile gaming ads (especially slot machines).

I'm not sure if the gaming industry is driving the growth per se. Based on my experience, it's really people buying into smartphones and paying for software (in the form of IAP in games) for the first time in their lives.

To be pedantic, people going upmarket in Android is probably their source of growth in revenue. iOS has been pretty rich for a while now and it's unlikely that there are users who are spending more or more users who have started spending. But Android had a HUGE amount of space to grow in terms of Android phone owners who actually spent money (based on numbers I've seen in 2015). I would imagine that's where the money's coming from—the average Android user has gotten a little richer, started spending more on IAP on Android, and therefore game developers bid higher on ads targeting them.

It's like Upstream Color, except instead of a mind altering slug drug, it's Slots Vacation.

Ask HN: What should replace XMPP?
Let's assume for the sake of discussion that XMPP has died or is at least on its last legs. What could we learn from XMPP that would help us find its replacement?

There are a few key questions that need answering. What did XMPP do right and could be copied? Why did so many big players ditch XMPP? What would it take to get big players to adopt it? What are the existing resources for creating protocols similar to XMPP? Is it possible to simplify a chat protocol or is it complex in nature?

I briefly tried working on an existing XMPP server implementation but found the protocol and all the extension overbearing and very hard to grok.
One conversation I had with a senior employee at a very large company said that university was very important for signalling. They knew that someone who went to (for example) MIT was admitted to MIT, which indicates a certain amount of raw intelligence. Their legal department would not allow administering any sort of IQ test, so the school one went to was a proxy for IQ.
But is Flint a pollution problem? From what I've been reading the real failure in Flint was that they are still using lead pipes. It was a series of decisions that sent corrosive water down old pipes, water that may have been safe in non-lead pipes. That seems more a management and/or infrastructure problem: Bad, but without the monty burns villain dumping stuff into lakes. So I'm not sure there is a direct comparison to be made between Flint and something like love canal.
To quote the website:

> Certificates/Domain you could run into through repeated re-issuance. This limit measures certificates issued for a given combination of Public Suffix + Domain (a "registered domain"). This is limited to 5 certificates per domain per week.
Just a brainstorm, not even sure if this is a great idea:

Perhaps a good thing to do with a universal basic income is tell people they can collect it from anywhere. This is what people do with social security and such. They go live in cheap countries where they can get dental and medical work done for 1/10th the price. Cheap food, cheap rent, etc. The lowered demand for these things in the US would lower prices here. Everybody wins!
