So you think there is some tax rate or tax system what is the morally correct one? That's a pretty bizarre implication, even for people who entertain the notion of moral realism.

Taxes are inherently the result of a specific government passing specific laws. I cant conceive any argument for some natural law prescribing a particular tax rate.
For one example, in Haskell, all Monads are also Functors. This means you can `fmap` a function over a Maybe Foo just as you would over a [Foo] (read list of Foo) or Vector Foo or indeed an IO Foo.
I have read enough of all these tutorials that I understand how git and the git commands work. I could pass a test. But still I have a hard time feeling comfortable enough to spit out commands as needed. I've created a lot of aliases to do common things but that is not the same thing.

I'd really like to see a toy GitHub repo where users democratically vote on pull requests via emoji.

Each user is given a vote with the first emoji they comment on the PR. A bot then evaluates all the emoji comments after N days, decides if the mean connotation is positive/negative, then accepts/rejects the PR based on the result.

Users could also put an extra neutral emoji like cats or kabuki masks in their comment. If their cat/kabuki comment 'wins' the PR, the bot might start weighting those emoji with more voting power later, to create hilarious biases. (eg: hamburger is BDFL)

I've used this recipe in my IPython launch script to define SQL-like infix operators for working with pandas DataFrames. You can see that source here: < https://github.com/spearsem/configs/blob/master/ipython_conf... >.

You can scroll up a little for some of the other definitions.

This is just toy code of course, but it's fun sometimes to be able to say something like

SELECT * FROM>> dfrm <<WHERE>> COL('A') < 0.5

for a DataFrame "dfrm" with a column "A"

I like the "<< _ >>" syntax better myself, even though the "|_|" syntax uses fewer characters.

Games/game-engines often can change scripts or even C code out on the fly, so they are at least partially build live.

Working in Smalltalk images can be "live-editing", if you run your application at the same time.

Both of these examples work on a method-basis: you change the code, trigger a rebuild the method and it is used from then on, not automatically after each change/keypress.

There is a bunch of live-coding stuff for creating music, but that often is used with smaller programs and writing the entire program as part of the performance.

I think here the more important thing is that it doesn't work on source code that is then parsed and compiled, but directly on a tree structure representing the program. Live-coding is sort of a side effect, because you a) don't have to reparse everything and b) always can have a state that is a valid program.

Ask HN: Does this fall under non-compete?
I work for a large public corporation, where I've led development efforts for an enterprise software application. The application is not a product - it's not sold directly, but it helps the company deliver better value to clients - sorry, can't be more specific.

I'm considering leaving and starting a company that would create a similar application and sell it as a product. Some companies that would be interested are my current employer's competitors.

I've signed a generic non-compete when I started. I'm very careful about not working on it at work, and will obviously not take/use any company's IP.

Is that considered breaking my non-compete? Are they likely to sue me? I am also planning to consult a lawyer.

It uses trusted hardware to authenticate and scrape data from HTTPS-enabled websites

It claims to do this using SGX. However, it uses a "Relay" - a non-SGX process - to pass network data into the SGX enclave.

To me that seems to make the claim of trustworthiness (in the "trustworthy computing" sense) questionable.

I'm not overly familiar with SGX and I've only scanned through this proposal, but I'd love someone more knowledgeable to expand my understanding.

It seems to me that the entire stack needs to be running in the SGX-enclave for it to gain the complete benefits?

Nevertheless, I think this is pretty interesting.
In addition to lobbying against the government in this case, we should loudly criticize Apple for putting this backdoor in their design!

Let's invert the use of the "ticking bomb" propaganda - say we've got a phone with data that can prevent an eminent attack. What person is going to say we shouldn't unlock the phone, because it would set a bad precedent? I'm a steadfast believer in the idea that computing devices should be private extensions of one's mind, but I would still say it's stupid to not hack into such a device if it can be done!

If you want a device that guarantees individual privacy against the manufacturer/USG, it has to be designed for such. You can't build an insecure system and then expect an A for effort.

I have a theory that software is so hard, that internet startups win simply because they can actually do software, and thereby obtain its benefits.

It's not that the start ups have such disruptive business models; but simply that software is great, and incumbents can't do it.

Web startups are good at software because that's what they focus on, and are selected for. So we're in this strange situation where getting software to do it is more important than doing it. It's the flexibility.

One minor suggestion would be to provide ISO hashes over HTTPS. It's just as secure as using GPG with fingerprints sent over HTTPS, and it's a lot easier.

The fingerprints (https://www.debian.org/CD/verify) could also be made more prominent (perhaps put on the main download page).

Is that the part describing Lubet's criticism? The Malcolm's main point seems to show "how badly the brand of Southern populism Finch represents has aged over the past fifty years", and the lengthy description is just to say it's naive to take Finch as legal hero. As a drama, actually having weak case is a juicy obstacle for the protagonist to make the story much more interesting. It's a good novel not "in spite of", but "because of", Finch's dubious legal standing.

Eh, my car has a finicky engine and I've learned that it's perfectly drivable without power steering or brakes. I've lost power while taking tight turns, and while it was a bit surprising the first time or two I had no trouble keeping it under control. Unless the driver has significantly less strength than the average person, or is unwilling to drop whatever might be in their off hand to get it too the wheel, I'd say it's more scary than dangerous.

That being said, I certainly wouldn't be happy if my new volvo did that; they should definitely be held to higher standards than my $500 beater.

Try using a tool like 'git cola' that allows you to selectively commit soecific lines, instead of just by file.

Start a project and attempt to maintain a clean history. Break up changes logically into separate commits. To the point where 90%+ don't need more than the subject to describe a change and the history can be read like a story.

Use 'gitk --all' to view the tree of changes. get comfortable with using feature branches, using interactive rebasing to clean up a messy history of changes, etc.

The CLI works great for most things but visual tools make it much easier to write a clean history and reason about the changes over time.

It has everything to do with what we're talking about. We can analyze the security properties of systems in advance. It's called engineering.

This attack isn't some discovered flaw, but an explicit property of their system design. There are widely-used systems that hold up to the attack in question. For example, Linux's LUKS/dmcrypt does not have this vulnerability.

Apple wishes to use lower entropy passcodes, necessitating the use of trusted hardware. Few have gone down this road, so I've detailed properties of a hypothetical design that could be free of manufacturer backdoors.

Apple needs to either stop marketing their devices as secure against nation state attackers that can compel Apple, or actually build trusted hardware that's secure from manufacturer as I'm describing. Cryptography is not a "best effort" endeavor.
Heuristics (A* Pathfinding)
You missed the part where the Roth backdoor is very deliberately subverting the intent of the law.

Congress deliberately put an income cap on who can contribute to Roth IRAs. It's obviously there in the law and the intent is clear.

However, thanks to the conversion backdoor, high income earners can still contribute to Roth IRAs—against the intent of the law.

To me, this is exactly as moral as what corporations do to avoid taxes.
You should never have to redownload unless somebody is carelessly force oushing changes to the remote.

If you're about to do something 'weird' like fix a merge conflict, you can save the changes by creating a branch.

Sometimes you have to go back and fix a previous commit to reconcile a conflict. The 'gitk --all' command is your friend here. With it it's easy to visualize the history, reset, cherry-pick commits, etc.

I noticed last year that ubuntu.com - despite being the source from which most people download Ubuntu .isos - has no HTTPS capability and doesn't offer any checksums or gpg signatures on their download page. I believe you can find gpg signatures if you scratch around on their ftp server, but it is ridiculous to assume users will do this (especially when Ubuntu is trying to be a user-friendly distro).

Anyway, as a result I ended up emailing their webmaster asking why Ubuntu.com has no SSL cert. and I haven't heard anything back yet. I think it is pretty poor that a company like Canonical can have such a flagrant disregard for basic security practices, especially when it likes to market Ubuntu as a 'secure' OS.

Monetising a travel guide website – divereport.com
I run http://www.divereport.com - the original plan was to sell Ads directly to dive centers, which worked with face-to-face sales but much harder to get renewals even with positive statistics showing that advertisers are getting good value from the site.

Part of the problem is that they do not necessarily understand or believe the statistics so we are changing the way the contact aspect works to make it more obvious when customers come through us - even if it is a bit more restrictive to our users. To change this, prove they are getting good value.. and to see if they decide to repurchase could take up to 9 months and it would be useful to make some more money through the site before then.

The site gets around 15k uniques, 50k page views, 2.4 avg page views, 60% bounce, 23% returning.

I am considering reluctantly putting Adwords on some pages, but ideas for how best to generate some shorter term revenue (and estimates for how much these methods may make) while we sort out advertising relationships would be super welcome!

Very specifically, I'm interested in exploit mitigations that eliminate undefined states, rather than just hope an attacker doesn't know enough to redefine them. One can show "zombie pointers" (fine, we've got lots of space in 64 bit land) will never allow an attacker to exploit a UaF much easier than we can show memory is randomized enough.

At the end of the day hard bounds checking (however slow it might be) also falls into this category of "approaches that do not try to survive falling into undefined states". I'm not saying ASLR et al isn't useful, just that we should put more energy intostaying within well defined states.

That's ultimately what "better" languages promise, after all. I'm curious if there are approaches that don't require rewrites, and very interested in actually measuring what does and doesn't absolutely suppress vulnerability, at what performance cost. We're not doing enough of that.
I agree and posted the same thing many times on his blog as "Nick P". Additionally, the NSA's mission [1] and accountability itself must change. That by itself would go a long way if it prevented them from interfering in product development or online services. It's not going to happen without public action.

Good news is that he did change his mind a bit after enough of those posts. He originally was calling almost exclusively for technical solutions with some legal focus. I kept at it on those posts until he shifted to a political or legal focus with technical on the side as it's still important. So, he knows this is true as evidenced by the direction his blog posts took.

Note: I also countered the "Trust the Math" [2] meme that was going around. Things are more complex than that.

That's a brilliant way to create a recession and also to destroy competition.

It would create a giant, massive subsidy to large corporations and heavily incentivize vertical integration. By taxing revenue at every stage, every company would scramble to move transactions out of the market (via mergers and acquisitions).

You'd also likely drive every small business in America out of business.

It also doesn't make any sense. Why should they local grocery store which made $10k profit on $10M in gross revenue pay way more taxes than a software company which made $450k profit on $1m in revenue?

> While Tech has ALL the disruption like Uber, where is the one for property market? ... 3D Printing that print GREAT quality houses in cheap and fast way

The cost to build a house is relatively cheap -- that's not the problem. The critical factor in housing prices is location.

In the case of SF/SV, it's a desirable place with limited housing supply. Techies, startups, tech corporations, and VCs have all convinced themselves that they need to be crammed into a tiny geographic area to thrive. This, coupled with relatively high wages, has driven up rents and home prices.

I imagine many of us assumed that tech would prevent this situation, by building faster, more reliable communication networks. Yet tech in SFBA wound up as a concentrated, insular industry (second, perhaps, to finance in NYC).
Whoah, cool. Even more reason to empathize with animals!
