Khosla has always been tone deaf. Back in the 90s, when California was having one of its droughts, Khosla was the biggest violater of the water use restrictions in the Bay Area.

In an ideal world, the tech world would boycotts Khosla and startups refuse to take a dime from him. That would knock some sense into him. But this is not an ideal world, and people will continue lining up outside his door, hat in hand. He knows money is king, and he has lots of it.
I am tempted to believe that the pharma companies are more interested in keeping their recurring revenues from diabetics than find a one time cure.

Here in India, the medicines and tools for a diabetic (particulary IDDM) is still prohibitively expensive for most people who have it. The prices of insulins and testing strips have increased by 10% or so many times in the past couple of years. Things like CGMS, insulin pumps are not affordable even to well-off people like me.

There has always been news of research from various government and government aided organizations towards the development of low cost testing strips (at about Rs. 5 per strip compared to Rs. 17 and above for the existing products) but nothing has come out as a product. What's worse is an unknown healthcare company has acquired the technology from ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) a year back and till now their only product is a low cost sanitary napkin. Wouldn't be surprised of the involvement of the big pharma companies in the delay.

All this said, at least India doesn't have an insurance system like in the US which has pushed up the prices repeatedly to help the insurance companies (imho an unwanted middleman in most cases) make more and more money.

I am not very optimistic about the future.
Indeed, people who valued their security highly, like terrorists, would still have security, but the common person would not.
>Judge Buchwald found that the treaty, which settled the Mexican–American War, granted the 200-acre beach property to Jose Antonio Alviso before California's Constitution in 1879 established the public trust doctrine that preserved access to such areas for all state residents.

In a bit of Huffington Post SEO, I just learned that the nominal date in the URL like ...com/2016/02/22/cuba-lung-cancer-vaccine_n_7267518.html is meaningless.

This is a repost of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9547302 from some months back (and three comments). Only that posting linked to ...com/2015/05/14/cuba-lung-cancer-vaccine_n_7267518.html , which has the same supposed timestamp inside the article, 05/14/2015 .

In fact, I'll rewrite the URL so it appears to be from Christmas 1995; http://www.huffingtonpost.com/1995/12/25/cuba-lung-cancer-va... . It points to the same thing.

Is this common practice these days?
Assuming you can traverse the waterline (don't know what California's access laws are, but I assume you are free to walk along it) how far of a walk is it from the nearest accessible beach?

If we're going by the text alone, the 4th amendment protects your property from authorities on a witch hunt: "persons, houses, papers, and effects." All are all property, and can be the subject of a trespass action (trespass to the person, trespass to land, trespass to chattel) when someone uses those things inconsistently with your property right. The 4th amendment doesn't say anything about "private matters" (and the motivating example of the 4th amendment was searches for contraband, not intrusion into "private matters"). "Expectation of privacy" is something the Supreme Court tacked onto the Constitution in 1967 during the Warren Court.

The Wave, a novel[1] and film[2] explores this idea and is great reading/watching.

And they wouldn't be limited to devices in their jurisdiction belonging to the dead or incarcerated.

Jetbrains is pretty much the opposite of a unicorn. It's small and probably won't grow much more (even if they get 100% of the dev tools market, the market is not that big), self-funded, and profitable. Intellij is a quality code editor, and surely better than Eclipse, but the next Google, this ain't.

There are a lot of small businesses selling software. For example, FogBugz, Coverity, Synplify, etc. etc. You don't hear a lot about them because... honestly they're not that interesting compared to companies that are trying to take over the world or go out in a flaming wreck. Would you rather read about some middle class dude carefully building his small business, or about the offensive comments an Uber exec made during a drunken stupor in SF?
By removing memory safety bugs, it allows reviewers to focus on the more important sources of vulnerabilities - the things that the compiler can't check. On that front, it is also worth noting that Rust has a much richer type system than C or C++, and can be leveraged to craft domain models that catch many more bugs at compile time.

With all of that said however, I agree with you that it would be foolish to think that a rewrite would not be open to lots of potential vulnerabilities. At the moment might be prudent to continue to use and support the current libraries, but to also support efforts like rust-crypto in order to prepare for the future.
It's impossible to drive housing costs down via development, unless you also ban immigration. Development promotes further population growth. The ideal is high rent AND high income.
Ironically FreePascal was written on a free version of Turbo Pascal until it was self-compiling (or whatever the phrase is) when they decided to stop making the free versions. I feel the same about pirated software. Besides, once you get enough into programming piracy doesn't seem right, in some cases you're either recoding it for yourself or you realize there was genuine work put into the software to the point where piracy just feels wrong completely.
Finding organic material preserved after 3000 years is incredibly rare. Even many types of stone don't stand up well for that long. For example, a headstone made out of limestone can be unreadable after just a century or two in a wet climate.

We did a randomized controlled trial :)

It's pending publication, but it'll get there. And now we have enough info to start a double blind. Sleep one is also pending publication.

The HRV (stress/anxiety) trial is already published, and was completely independent. We didn't even know about it until it was published. There's more in the science section too.

I remember when that Lumosity BS came out. We'd been around for 4 years already at that point. Now that it's finally us taking off, we're pouring everything into the science. We're going to do this right.

Thank you very much, learning from others is an invaluable way of learning to improve code and write code with a improved approach. Also a great way to try and avoid bugs when your code reminds you of a reported bug. Thank you again!

This is literally my first time engaging in an Internet flame war. It's kind of fun.

To address your comment, Mr. Hominem, I never called Assange's motives into question. I'm providing a valuable service of an alternative perspective. The fact that I instigated a flame war is evidence of the hacker news echo chamber. I suspect once my comment crosses into -1 territory my opinions will be disregarded by the same people who would consider them when my comment was at the top of the discussion.

Propaganda is alive and well on hacker news. Luckily so is free speech, the right I assume you hold most dearly. If you want to avoid hypocrisy, it would be best to approach discussion with an open mind rather than a vindictive agenda.

I have no agenda, except that I like to keep my writing sharp and piss some people off in the process.
Proposal for a packaging system for C++ [pdf]
You're correct, and that's not a universal restriction. But it is true that there are a lot of translation & interpretation jobs which do require that the translator only go into their native language, especially for large-scale operations that only need to communicate one-way (like simultaneous interpretation for speeches).
I've used plenty of other options- we even ran an internal GitLab instance prior to moving to BitBucket at my last company. Atlassian's suite of products are a safe bet because they're generally good products.

I like the GitLab feature set more than BitBucket but when I went started my own company it was generally cheaper for my team of 5-8 to use hosted JIRA, BitBucket, and Confluence then it would be for me to pay AWS/Rackspace/Azure/Digital Ocean to run the F/OSS equivalents in our cloud environment. BitBucket integrates just fine with Jenkins and the new Project organization was much needed.

We may someday move to GitLab or something else, but there isn't anything wrong with choosing Atlassian in any way. It's not like they're an Oracle/SAP type company that just abuses their customers and has awful products.

> the point of new Constitution is to establish new rules which override the old ones?

The Supremacy clause states that a treaty made by the United States takes precedence over the constitution of any individual state.
Yes! And the reverse has happened with Servo. Originally it was mainly a bag of C libraries with some layout code, then gradually they began swapping the pieces out for the Rust counterparts. This is how new software can be written - bootstrapping off the C infrastructure, then gradually transitioning more and more into Rust land.
"To do some work to make it universal" = code change = thrown hash (the signature which requires the Apple key to create, and proves the software hasn't been tampered with, will be broken/no longer valid)

Cryptographic hashes like SHA and AES are designed for "dispersion" meaning, in the idea case, flipping only one bit of the input leads to a 50% probability of every single bit in the hash flipping. So while it's theoretically possible to make a change to the code, and find a way to insert that change that both (1) does the same thing and (2) hashes the same way as the original build, it's probably beyond the realm of what even a motivated attacker could do today.

> It’s important to be aware that UAC elevations are conveniences and not security boundaries.

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.06.uac.asp...

>unfortunately, this is also where we run into some of the limitations of UAC. Remember, there is no effective isolation; there is no security boundary that isolates processes on the same desktop. The OS does include some protective measures to keep the obvious and unnecessary avenues of communication blocked, but it would be impossible and undesirable to block them all. Therefore, Microsoft does not consider breaches of that nonexistent security boundary to be security breaches.

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.securit...

In default and probably usual configuration UAC does not represent security boundary between medium-il (user) an high-il (equivalent of linux's root). Only if you bother to run under non-admin account are you protected from escalations.

Leo Davidson then provided demonstrations of privilege escalation between those two integrity levels without triggering uac.

I haven't checked Windows 10, but at least until Windows 8 most machines running Windows had been running most software effectively under root.

I don't think they do have much financial interest in this -- if they cave and give the FBI what they want, Google will cave too (if they haven't already). Regardless of what Apple does in this case, they are going to sell billions of dollars of iPhones.

There may be a few hardcore privacy advocates that buy an iPhone because of this, but it's not going to make any significant change in sales.

And as for criminals, well most of them don't know or care about encryption and aren't thinking far enough ahead about what would happen if the cops seized their phones. The organized "professional" criminals aren't going to rely on device encryption to protect their secrets.

And of course, the cynic in me thinks that Apple (et al) has already given the FBI what they want and this whole case is just public posturing to make the world think that iPhones are immune to government snooping.
No, I've seen talks by the engineers behind Solaris (I don't recall who at the moment) that strongly indicated the Sun lawyers didn't go out of their way to be incompatible with the GPL -- they just wanted a license that allowed them to split proprietary and open code (as they didn't have the right to open up all of Solaris due to licensing agreements with third parties etc) -- and still being able to distribute both open and traditional closed Solaris. This led to the "per file" license nature of the CDDL -- and unfortunately to the "additional limitation"-bit that makes it incompatible with the GPL.

If it was done again today, they might have gone for the Apache license as I recall -- and avoided some of the unfortunate issues.

Lawyers always ask for way more money than they expect to get. In almost every situation like this in the past they settle for 10% of the amount and everyone walks away happy.

This is like the endless use of maximum sentences in headlines: "hacker faces 100 years in prison!"... when they almost always end up getting <10yrs at the end of the trial. Sad to see HN fall into this trap once again.

Whether he's wrong in demanding compensation is a fair debate, don't get me wrong, but I don't think he expects to get anywhere near that price.
