I think that's excessive. marknutter's comments were passionate and yes he was venting. But the key concept in what he wrote—"daily boost of self-righteousness"—is absolutely a thing, and unawareness of it makes all of this much worse.
The headline that the Post chose seems intentionally vague. I also didn't see any quote supporting the idea that scientists are 'floored.' One scientist was quoted as saying, "It's a very interesting time." A more accurate headline would be, "Scientists find that the Arctic is warming much faster than other regions."
For ZFS to get defrag, someone with enough ability and knowledge would need to bite the bullet and go through the fairly massive and difficult task of adding in block pointer rewrite, which doesn't seem to be something anyone has been willing to do, and I've seen a lot of concerns about the actual feasibility of it from some very smart people that are knowledgeable with the codebase.

You covered demand... But what about supply?

You can have perpetual shortages on the supply side that keep prices up. The entire luxury goods market relies on this, as an example.

I'm afraid I'm not confident in your analysis; seems to oversimplified.
Bridge-Crossing Mathematical Riddle (Solution Omitted)
> Clickbait headlines are like watching evolution in action.

Actually, there's a theory for viruses of the mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viruses_of_the_Mind. Headlines and other memes can spread if they appeal to certain emotional responses and "fitter" memes spread faster.

One way to mitigate this is to disallow words like 'floored' when used in the context of emotions, but that's going to require some serious AI to help with it.
That would obviously be ideal but announcing after the feature is implemented may be too late.

Opinion shifts have a lot of momentum - let's say promising a feature pushes back on that shift with force X. Announcing the feature when it's live and ready to use pushes back on that shift with force Y. Even if Y has much greater magnitude than X, it is likely much more effective to reverse that opinion shift by applying X today, than Y in a week, or two, or four, when the shift has gathered sufficient momentum that Y has no effect.
Some Thoughts on Open Source Software
>Why should the FBI have to waste resources reverse engineering Apple's product (and risk destruction of evidence) when Apple is wholly capable of helping out?

so now apple has to pay for engineers to design and implement this change to their product because the government said so? why is apple required to "help out"?
How? If jokes were encouraged, they'd naturally float to the top, pushing serious discussion to the bottom. On Hacker News, we might appreciate your joke, but we'll still downvote, because we prefer the serious discussion on the top with the jokes on the bottom.

HN's community generally doesn't joke and tries for informed discussion or constructive criticism. It isn't Fark or Reddit. It's the community norm and is enforced by the people visiting the site.
Ubuntu is always slightly behind and slightly ahead of the curve. Why are they digging their heels in with lxd when docker and rkt make so much more sense?
It's a mistake to see this phenomenon as bound to any political position. It's a human trait and we all do it, we just do it about different things.
This appears to be true. If you look at Page 5 of [1], there's a side note about DFU mode. There's no indication that updating the firmware wipes the secure contents of the device, which it would need to in order to be secure:

"""
Entering Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) mode

Restoring a device after it enters DFU mode returns it to known good state with the certainty that only unmodified Apple-signed code is present. DFU mode can be entered manually: First connect the device to a computer using a USB cable, then hold down both the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons. After 8 seconds, release the Sleep/Wake button while continuing to hold down the Home button. Note: Nothing will be displayed on the screen when the device is in DFU mode. If the Apple logo appears, the Sleep/Wake button was held down too long.

They were naive in thinking they could play in China without being buddies with the government. If any company has become expert about government relations recently, it's Uber.
really baffled as to how this tripe can be on the front page of HN, unless... no, I don't want to go there...
I'm no military expert, so I don't have one. Scratch that, I do. Allow aid to reach the million or so civilians in Gaza instead of choking it from all sides.

What I do know is that Israel was forced to agree on a ceasefire with a a bunch of "terrorists". Quite hilarious.
What is TAO?
The important distinction is that this plan should be privately funded. Otherwise it would take vital public money that's used to help people truly in need.

Everybody falls on hard times. Some more than worse. The mayor of my town was homeless for a while, and he truly brings a sympathetic ear to the stubborn and persistent problems with homelessness (not just the homeless themselves).

My idea is that people on the margins of productive (job-having, self-supporting, tax-paying) society should live there, but in doing so, they are provided the resources to maintain their dignity and, if they so choose, find the help to rejoin productive society.
Your observations were probably real but you might have misinterpreted them. We do penalize subthreads for being shitstorms, flamewars, or off-topic. (Tediously off-topic, that is. Whimsmical offtopicness is fine.) And profanity is more common when people are upset, so one would expect a correlation. But profanity isn't a moderation concern per se.
> I can run Chromium on Lubuntu, so doesn't that give me access to all the Chrome OS software

No, Chrome on Linux does not include all features of Chrome OS. (At least, IIRC, based on Google Chrome release blog posts with Chrome-OS-only features identified.)
The color scale for the chart makes it look worse than it is (red looks "hotter" than the equator, for example) when it's really just measuring variance from expected temps.

Nevertheless, the more data we get, the more terrifying global warming looks. It is really a scary problem to confront, and discoveries like this show us how poorly we understand our life support system as we perturb it.
Inefficient transport systems tend to affect the poor. For example, spending an hour commuting to work. Where this is a serious problem, for example India, some jobs even come with a chauffeur. Daily commutes are not Uber's market.
What Makes Young People Join Gangs and What Makes It So Hard for Them to Leave
I needed to put together a VPN router because of an upcoming trip. Since I didn't want to bring a "giant" 4 port router, I went looking for an OpenWRT-compatible travel router. The TP-Link TL-WR710N and D-Link DIR-505L were my two candidates. :)

I setup OpenVPN as a bridge and configured an SSID on it so when I connect to it, it'll be as if I were still at home. (Same subnet so I have access to all my printers, tv tuners, etc).

This is disappointing news. What I just did would not have been possible for $15. I've been using OpenWRT for over 10 years and can't imagine ever using a router without some sort of customizable Linux on it. I've learned so much about Linux, networking, VPNs, etc from OpenWRT.
"but probably very difficult."

Unless I've really missed something, "probably" here means with near certainty enough beyond our current technical capabilities that predicting a timeline is folly.
>Is this 90% accuracy for predicting stock movements? Or 90% accuracy for predicting emotions based on facial features?

The latter. Dr. Eckman's work on microexpressions is focused on facial movements as it relates to a small set of commonly felt emotions (i.e. fear, disgust, surprise, happiness). The author is just presenting a possible application of Dr. Eckman's theories.
The really scary thing about this isn't the arctic ice; it's the permafrost at high latitudes. The permafrost contains a whole heck of a lot of methane, and as it melts it releases that methane, which in turn causes the atmosphere to warm further.

We may look back on this moment as the start of a runaway greenhouse effect.
This is an extremely old idea, and used to be normal for things like bread, milk and eggs in much of Europe, America etc.

There are some extracts from historical texts here [1], with accounts of delivered milk in the 1790s.

> You should ask yourself why you consider asking for evidence on a discussion forum rude. It sounds like you feel it's overly confrontational.

I already answered this question, multiple times. It has nothing to do with being confrontational.

It has to do with being RUDE.

Rude: discourteous or impolite, especially in a deliberate way [1]

[1] http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/rude

Nobody owes you ANY citations. You are being LAZY by demanding them. That LAZINESS is RUDE. If you disagree with someone, get off your lazy ass, go on Google, find evidence to the contrary and share. If you're too lazy to do that, then STFU instead of posting "citation needed". That doesn't add to the discussion. It's nothing more than an expression of displeasure with absolutely no effort to enhance the conversation.

If you're implying that advertisers can target an specific user, this is false
Well I don't think that Google really advertises itself under the OSS banner (and certainly not Libre/Free). And when compared to Apple, as the other poster did, I don't really see that Google is doing much more open source other than Android.

They definitely did advertise themselves with the motto "Do No Evil," which they dropped some time ago, but open source hasn't really been a part of Google's DNA. Google's extensive use of open source software without publishing their modifications is exactly the reason that AGPL was invented.
Great: now that we've all gotten to enjoy a Two Minutes' Hate against the official evil figure of the dreaded !!TechBro!!, we can all go home and step over the derelicts lying in the doorways of our gated communities, happy that we've really helped those poor unfortunates.

This really is a good example of how toxic outrage culture gets in the way of solving problems. Maybe this guy was self-centered talking only about how much trouble the homeless cause him. Okay, say he was. And? If he's cowed into silence by the great armies of Twitter, has that put one more street person into an apartment or methadone clinic?

I'm reminded of that flap about a British business that had homeless people sleeping on the benches on their property, and switched them out for benches it was not possible to sleep on, and was lambasted for it. It really is a singularity of modern awfulness: we won't do anything to make people not be homeless, but we'll yell at (some other) hapless person across the city until they surrender and make sure the homeless have cold metal benches in front of their building to freeze to death on, as is their human right.
This article seems to be largely unsubstantiated speculation. I see no evidence that a locked secure enclave can have its firmware updated.

You could say the same about Zenefits.
As others said I've also deleted all my apps from heroku. I was really scared, a bill of $700 out of nowhere, are you kidding??? And not even sending an e-mail right after when they've discovered the problem! I got in touch with their support and they took THREE HOURS to answer why I had to pay $700 for dynos I didn't use.
Only in the context of being physically able to assist someone else. To name an extreme, I doubt he's saying that Stephen Hawking is 'worth less' than a given able bodied person.

It does illustrate (duh) that by not encrypting their wireless coms, their system is vulnerable to straightforward reverse-engineering of the RF protocol.

It also illustrates that this vector isn't much of a threat for your average burglar.

From my understanding, Sun back in the day, and Oracle now, cannot release everything under the GPL due to contractual obligations. There's a reason they wrote the CDDL in the first place.

I can't find the talks now, but I believe Cantrill and others have spoken about this previously.

My memory is somewhat fuzzy, so I might be wrong on this.
Indeed; it all hinges whether they can get the government to accept them. I have a feeling Uber won't be quite as idealistic or principled as Google were.
So I bought one of those FIDO USB sticks, but when I tested it on GitHub or Google, I still had to enter my account password. So, how is this better than 2FA via smartphone SMS?

Is the plan to integrate a fingerprint sensor into the FIDO stick so it can become sufficient without passwords?
You are being incredibly rude to me. Kind of ironic really. I think this is the end of me discussing this with you now :-)
I don't need to ask him to clarify because I can infer what he means from the context. I can't downvote things, but I don't think you're getting downvoted for your opinion or for anyone thinking you're evil, but my guess would be that it's perhaps for your unusually generous reading of the comment. It's pretty clearly ironic that Uber would complain about this.

We do have a good sized "fusion" team focusing on product integration these days. Their mandate is to not only smooth out the integration process, but also to build some pretty kick-ass features on top of it. For example, between Bitbucket and JIRA these days you can not only view the code changes that relate to issues (and vice versa), but you can also transition issues through your workflow automatically based on the state of your commits, branches, & pull requests. We're also working on unifying the experience across the products. This started with the Atlassian Design Guidelines[1], but is continuing with product improvements like making the concept of a "project" consistent across Bitbucket Cloud, Bitbucket Server & JIRA (and making it easier to map them together). Integration and distributed systems are traditionally a tough problem in software, but we have some of our best engineers on it, so you can expect the cross-product experience to keep getting better!

Being an early adopter doesn't imply being smarter or better. The fact is, early adopters may frequently be considered as advanced types of guinea pigs, where they are willing to put up with shit other customers might not.[1]

I don't know the comment about the Bay Area being "sooo leading" is necessarily accurate. We "lead movement" in a group of users based on the fact we adopt (and work in) technology more than other groups. This isn't elitism (which your comments lean toward implying) but more realism of the situation. Silicon Valley is where most of the high technology in the world originated. It only makes sense the natives that live near that region are more likely to be designated as early adopters. Of course, you can take my comment any way you like.

The feature is definitely implemented as it has been available to me for about a half an hour. Apparently it will just take a little while to roll it out to all users.
Where is the evidence that the Secure Enclave's software can be updated without erasing keys?

The article states:

"Apple can update the SE firmware, it does not require the phone passcode, and it does not wipe user data on update."

But it does not support this statement in any way. In my experience, it does either require the phone passcode, or it wipes the data. Of course, I have no idea where that requirement is implemented.

It would be easy and sensible to have the secure enclave require the passcode for an update to its own firmware, or erase the keys it holds when applying such an update without the passcode. Apple doesn't say they do it from what I can tell, but it would fit with everything else they do, it's pretty easy to do, and I've seen no indication that it doesn't do this.
I will throw ours into the ring as well.

It's a tough dilemma for any ad-supported news organization. You get paid by getting eyeballs on a story. With most people getting their news via social networks and aggregators you need a headline that is shareable and yet still gets people to click through for the remaining article.

If the headline is too informative you get fewer eyeballs and less revenue.

So, if you're the editor of Washington Post, what do you choose? The headline that appeals to emotion and encourages clicks, or an accurate headline that is less appealing and less vague? Especially knowing that there's a fleet of rebloggers out there who will take your story, turn it into 10 pages of slides and "credit" you but have the more clickbait headline?
Yes it seems like the Washington Post has fallen into the Business Insider school of journalism. What a shame.
