They'd NAT. And they're probably already NATed, so it would just be a few changes on the outside of the firewall.
That was Solaris and that was regarding putting all of it under an OSS license, not necessarily the GPL. There were a few tiny bits that they just could not open source.

Have you ever taken a hard drive apart? The have a big, strong, magnet very close to the platters.

It's unlikely the magnet in a finger would do anything to a hard drive.
Citi has a 2% card. If you spend a lot in a particular category such as gas or groceries it isn't hard to find a card that will beat this.
Everyone wants to have the larger address space that ipv6 provides. All the other stuff rolled into it and the obvious representation shortfalls etc are very unfortunate.
Did he ever say something about Linux?
I was going to post here that there were ways around that; proper security, cryptographic access control... And then I saw the light. ;)
I'm not projecting. You just think you're right because you're Chinese.

You know honestly I didn't have an issue with your feedback except that you overreached when you said my comments were "LOL", "naive" and "laughable." That's offensive and arrogant. But you don't stop there, you keep attacking me!

"Your view is in the minority, even here on HN. If you were to take this view to more China-centric online communities, you'll find even fewer supporters."

You don't think I have Chinese friends? You're assuming once again.

And my view is the minority according to YOU! You don't have census data of the world, just your network, so stop attacking every response I have to prove your point!

Wait five years and we'll see who's right about Uber in China. You don't need to keep attacking me every time. It's rude.

> ipv6 just happens to use a colon which conflicts with the port delimiter from authority in a URI

This is exactly what the article means by

> To fix the ambiguity, brackets were introduced

The addition of brackets disambiguates the grammar.

> the order for parsing for a URI is:

> // host = IP-literal / IPv4address / reg-name

No, that's a part of the grammar; it only means that a host is either an IP-literal, an IPv4address, or a reg-name; it does not imply any sort of ordering to those rules. Normally, the grammar should be unambiguous. Unfortunately here, the grammar for IPv4address and reg-name actually are ambiguous; I'll get to that.

> the only reason you would have conflicts with domain names is because they're de facto parsed after an IP

It's not defacto. It's in the same standard,

> The syntax rule for host is ambiguous because it does not completely distinguish between an IPv4address and a reg-name. In order to disambiguate the syntax, we apply the "first-match-wins" algorithm: If host matches the rule for IPv4address, then it should be considered an IPv4 address literal and not a reg-name.
In places like SV and Vancouver housing prices are not strongly connected to the economic reach of the median person.

China has a middle class as big as the entire US, and a huge number of millionaires in USD, and an unstable, opaque state-run economy, so huge numbers of rich Chinese are buying real estate abroad to protect their wealth and to give their kids a life in the US.

I would be happy to see a movement to keep Chinese money out of the U.S. housing market, at least in places like SV.
The office environment in the picture looks terrible. Not only is it open plan but there seems to be barely enough room to setup a couple of screens and a laptop.
If you got every blood test done you would no question get several false positives. If 1,000,000 people got every blood test possible they would on average have worse Heath outcomes than a control ground who got zero tests. This is who of he reasons mass screenings for conditions are often a bad idea.
For all of our internal projects we don't push to production til 1.0.0- but because people have different opinions and we live in the world at large we don't have a hard rule of using someone else's code < 1.0.0. We'd just be missing out on too many useful projects.

If it the major version changes for us, the API has probably changed. If it's a minor version bump, the API has DEFINITELY not changed. Rev changes are your typical bug security/performance fixes that are limited in scope.

Who decides all this? If there's any question, just pick the more important signal of the two.
Feel like they're blowing this way out of proportion. Uber and Airbnb are doing perfectly well and from the looks of it Uber will IPO at $100-$150 billion easily.
> They really don't seem to want to share with their influential users the value they generate.

And that means they don't want share with their shareholders the value Tumblr generates. It's really mibd-blowing to think that anyone would have thought what Tumblr did was a good idea. I totally agree with their goal of shutting down sketchy and basically fraudulent ways of making money. But at least make a genuine attempt to provide a compelling alternative way for bloggers to make money.

The value of a social network is entirely in the community and their desire to devote time on the site (and not at all in any functionality or technology per se). By killing the vibe in the community they're basically burning money. Tumblr is dying in one of the saddest acts of corporate suicide in the last ten years.
A big part of the focus on the US here I believe is that non-citizens already have no protection from whatever the NSA/FBI might attempt.

For what it's worth I don't think many Americans would want to continue purchasing either.
tbh, vc's apply the same rationale before investing. no?
Agreed, it looks absolutely miserable. I would really like to see an end to the era of open work spaces, or at least shared desks. Is anyone aware of a study comparing the productivity of developers in these types environments to ones that provide a little privacy?

ECC is a prequisite for any filesystem to behave as intended. ZFS needs ECC just as much as other filesystem does. e.g. ext4, XFS, etc.
Just to play devil's advocate for the sake of discussion I'll say, the main benefit is "education" for designers of actual secure messaging apps such as those from Open Whisper Systems.

I remember Moxie writing about intentionally using insecure messaging apps that have great UI for the purpose of learning what non-technical users want, and he then built stuff that was both secure and usable.

I think it's interesting how apps like Cryptocat (on one side) and those from e.g. Open Whisper Systems (on another) play off each other. Some secure messaging apps were pressured to up their UI game, and now some "usable" apps are pressured to up their security game or shut down. Whatsapp got X25519 via the TextSecure protocol, and now Cryptocat is shutting down. It sends a message that designers of new apps will be competing against successful deployments of messengers that are both secure and usable.

There are still things like Telegram that are apparently big, but I think the trend is clear.
Yes, the variant is 'the mountains are high' versus 'heaven is high' in the Chinese saying quoted above. The saying 'While the cat's away, the mice will play.' is along similar lines.

There's four computer science majors in Congress? That's four more than I would've thought.
I've never used a credit card

There are many reasons to use one. Others here have already given you some. But I want to add one more good reason: protection. So here you go:

- I try to pay for all restaurant meals with a credit card. Then, e.g. if I get sick eating at e.g. Chipotle, there's at least a record that I purchased something from them. If I lose the receipt I might not remember whether it was a taco or a burrito, but I'm still way ahead of someone who paid cash and doesn't have his receipt!

- If I have a dispute of any sort with the supplier, it really helps to at least have the threat of a credit card chargeback available. Too many disputes or chargebacks are bad news for vendors, and most will want to avoid those.

- Some cards will extend the warranty on a purchase, but I've never availed myself of that feature so I don't know how easy it is to use.
If I were creative, I could probably kill any filesystem with 1 bit flip if I could control the bit.
Apple isn't giving access. Apple would be required (by court, unless they manage to fight this off) to install a signed custom build of the OS in order to give access to that particular device. FBI would not have this build, nor a key to create their own signed custom build.

We aren't talking about user names and passwords, but user agent strings.

The other decision was vacated. The jury was not appropriate and their decision is irrelevant.
"Even Google"? Another of those "Google+ is a ghost town" fables I guess. The reality is of course that Google simply stopped trying to force people onto Google+ for services completely unrelated to Google+. And that's a good thing, but that doesn't mean people aren't using it. It's as vibrant as ever.

A more interesting point is this one: http://www.frivology.com/blog/2016/how-google-failed-contess...
Google+ had a unique combination of features around Hangouts and Events, and they killed it in the redesign. Perhaps it's also the result of their desire to uncouple things from Google+, but here they went too far. What was once a killer feature is now pointless.

Lots of people use Google+, but for online events, they're going to have to look somewhere else.
But have you ever had to reimplement merge sort from scratch in any real-world scenario? Of course it's good to understand, but actually doing extra work again seems pointless to me.
It's comforting knowing there actually are people in congress who understand why weakening our cybersecurity is not the answer.
Hijacking top comment here but the latest news is that the passcode changed while in government custody.

Also mentioned in the same TechCrunch article is that Apple had provided the iCloud backups. Which begs the question, are local backups of the iPhone crackable too?

If so, the mere presence of having iCloud or local backups means that the government have a way in. So not the latest info but some.
Your analogy doesn't require compelling the participation of the safe manufacturer.

The government has the phone, nobody is stopping them from hacking it.
I do. I don't like someone else deciding what sources I get my content from, but find it hard to remember to go to those sources directly.
Ha yea, why let Google have the power to destroy your business when you can burn it to the ground yourself!
Pedant much? It's a metaphor. And if you really want to get pedantic, what do you call it when someone gets harassed so brutally online that they end up committing suicide? Sure, they weren't "dragged into a theater and shot to death by scores of people using low-calibre firearms so it lasts longer" but the result is still the same.
I don't think IPFS is trying to replace HTTP; it's trying to replace URLs. IPFS's goal is to offer universal content-centric resource location as an alternative to the Web's host-centric resource location. This is a nice thing because it decouples content from hosting--you can get the content from any reachable peer who has it. A good chunk of Team IPFS's engineering efforts have been put towards offering a wide variety of protocols to efficiently resolve a content hash to the content in a wide variety of contexts, covering things like peer discovery, content hash announcements, hash naming (IPNS), super-peers (ipfs-cluster), pub/sub, and so on.

IPFS is definitely not a filesystem in the classical (POSIX-y) sense. I think the naming is unfortunate, because it implies that IPFS has things a global root directory, permission bits, users, ACLs, immutable human-meaningful names that resolve to mutable content, a POSIX-y consistency model, etc. IPFS does none of these things--it defers them to layers above it. All IPFS is concerned with is providing a Merkle DAG abstraction, and the necessary network protocols to walk it and fetch the underlying content.

But given that they don't know what the vulnerability is, there's no way of knowing that.

When it comes to the security of who's hosting my servers, I want a little more reassurance than they shouldn't have access. I need to know that they don't.
This is wrong. But flips can do many different things:

Export/import is not a solution to most of those. In the cases where it does work, umount/mount is likely all that is needed.
It is true that we can never know this completely, but that is true about anything else in history. You would be amazed, however, to see what can be learned from reading the original languages, researching their homes, household utensils, popular art, etc.
Ah thanks. A lot of these are fairly silly, but at least they explain their position.
The graph to describe the directory is a misprint, right?

"testing 123\n" isn't anywhere, and "Hello World" (and its hash) is pictured twice. I'm sure that the testing.txt arrow should just be pointing to a node with a different hash and content.
There are 8 engineering majors in Congress (all in the House IIRC), which is pretty suprising.
Exactly this. Animal agriculture necessarily kills far more animals than crops since you have to grow significantly more crops to feed livestock in the first place. Meat does not just magically appear without having been fed.

Not only that, but in addition to the unpaid negative externalities of meat production (e.g. climate change, deforestation, health problems), the price of meat is kept artificially low through subsidies for corn and soybean produced as animal feed.
Now you can't submit something unless you're invited to the network and PH approves. Anybody want to help me out with an invitation?
The crux of that article's argument is that they fail to find any correlation between latitude/light-exposure and depression. But Seasonal Affective Disorder—although frequently defined in terms of feeling "depressed"—is not defined as a kind of clinical depression: its symptoms do not heavily overlap with the clinical-depression symptoms they were looking for.

I Am Not A Neurologist, but my understanding from reading various journal articles is that the photosensitive ganglion cells in the retina (the ones that detect mostly blue light and are known to calibrate circadian rhythm) do what they do by stimulating dopamine release when their activation potential is reached.

Presuming that this production of dopamine due to direct-light stimulation is relied upon by developmental processes, then this can explain nearsightedness; without direct light, children produce too little dopamine, and so their eye muscles are left slightly more "slack", allowing the eye to grow in a deformed shape.

Presuming also that this conditional production of dopamine continues to be relied upon to hold to some average level even after development, then "SAD" would be, effectively, an environmentally-induced Attention-Deficit Disorder, and not any kind of "depression" at all. (Note that people with undiagnosed ADHD almost always first assume that what they have is depression. "My life is crappy and it makes me want to disengage from it" is very easy to confuse with "I lack the motivation to improve things, so I let them turn to crap instead.")

I would bet that if they looked for a correlation between those—light-exposure and ADHD symptoms—they'd find something much more interesting.
Manually adding the link into Instapaper worked for me.
Then fucking ask to meet with him and tell him how you feel. Get his perspective. Find out if he meant what you think he meant or if he was just misunderstood. And if you're still angry then, let him have it face to face instead of behind some pseudonym on the internet.

Pray you never post anything that draws the ire of the mob, lest you become the whipping boy of dozens of nationally syndicated columnists and thousands of spineless social media bullies, some of which who threaten you actual, physical harm.

My guess is, if you're actually bold enough to meet him in person, you'll soften your position. If not, then good for you, at least you had the conviction to remain angry.
The phone in question was a work phone, not a personal phone. In work environments the enterprise IT tools control how the phone is administered, backed up, and the like. Which means that the company that issued the phone most likely had the key to unlock the backups.

As far as the law is concerned, he did not violate anything. You do not have to prove yourself innocent, the burden is on the prosecutor to prove a violation. In the example you cite, no violation has been shown.

It is not at all clear that WSJ intends Googlebot to get their content for free while others must pay. Thus is actually against Google's policies, which would actually call into question whether WSJ's behavior is felonius. WSJ may not be entitled to be incorporated into Google's index, yet they are manipulating the Googlebot to the contrary.

Is it just me or does it seem like a lot of media outlets really, really want to see a big tech downturn? I want to say to the collective writers ofthe WSJ, the NYT, and everyone else, "stop trying to make a bubble happen, it's not going to happen."

I get that a bursting bubble would be dramatic, and would make for lots of compelling stories. But there are plenty of other exciting and interesting things going on in tech these days! There's no shortage of dramatic tales that aren't quite as simple as "those crazy Californians are finally getting their due!"

I mean, I get it. Journalists gonna journal. But still.

Anyways, sorry for the rant. Please continue reading the comments as you were.
This is correct. He considers ECC so important that he is willing to spread FUD about non-ECC behavior to try to scare people into using ECC. I think the truth is scary enough to convince people, but he does not agree.
Didn't work for me.
I see many comments on the pros and cons of various version numbering schemes, and I recall many similar discussions going back decades.

I have no idea why it has never occurred to me to ask the following question [1]: how is version numbering done in disciplines other than software?

Software is young compared to most engineering disciplines. Surely this problem was solved long ago in non-software disciplines and their solutions have been tested by decades, or in some fields even centuries, of practice.

How did you determine that? The two should use about the same amount of memory. The only diffence is that ZFS uses ARC and btrfs uses the page cache. ARC is not reported the same way as the page cache though, which might give the appearance of requiring more.

Absolutely, there is a way to do "open floorplans" right, and that right there is not it. Bigger desks and even some spacing away from neighbors is critical. The style of open floorplan in that picture seems more suited for a call center.

Why ignore offers to increase credit limit? I keep accepting higher credit limits because I was under the impression there is no down side. (I only ever use a small fraction of my limit and never carry a balance.)

It's a bit of both: journalists try to find anything that makes for a good, compelling story as it's happening.

Now, some things can be seen in advance to make for good, compelling stories; some journalists have already written a piece in their heads about certain topics, long before the news actually comes out.

But nobody is reporting things just because they want them to be true. People are just jumping to report things now that they "finally" are at least a little bit true.
