There are really only two viable options, both plugins. The first is Flash, but the problem here is that you need a Flash media server on the back end. Twilio Client release branch 1.2 implements this. The second is the Temasys plugin which allows you to run WebRTC as you normally would in Chrome. Neither are good options to be honest.
IvanGoncharov, you've done much work in this space in trying to innovate around Web APIs (thanks for that!).

I think realityking nailed it in terms of the API community needing to define compelling use cases. The catch 22 here is that it is hard for people to innovate around API specifications when they are so hard to get! Per the SDKs ... what if there was a NPM.org or rubygems equivalent of high quality SDKs that get automatically generated whenever I push a new API specification? That seems like it could be cool.

And your example of automated composition is fantastic! Curious if you are able to share how much work it is for you to get access to the specifications in order to make this possible? If we invented a common practice to publish something like api.company.com/spec.yaml could you have spent a lot more time on making cool integrations vs mining specs?
Humans killing ourselves / extinction events are incredibly unlikely over the time frame that SpaceX will exist for. They're also easier to survive or avoid than it would be to colonize Mars. Except maybe surviving a gamma ray burst -- but who knows, since it looks pretty impossible for humans to colonize a planet.

On the other hand we have a chance to save the tens of billions of people who will live and die in the 21st century and experience genocide, starvation, disease, child abuse, imprisonment, other violence, etc. We're already doing it -- it's achievable. It can't wait for a Mars colony!
I'm surprised with how many comments here are focusing on Zuck and not the market play for Facebook.

I've worked at large companies that claim to be innovative. More often than not, short-term demands made by Wall Street guide business decisions in increasingly poor ways (reducing employee benefits, stymieing R&D, etc.)

This announcement obviously helps Zuckerberg personally, but it does also provide a signal to the market for Facebook's direction.
Home email servers require a warrant. It's third-party email servers, or even third-party hosts, that this is addressing. That is assuming my past understanding is correct. It should be unconstitutional as it stands now, as anything password-protected whatsoever should ideally fall under reasonable expectation of privacy.

A 3:1 split but only 1 of your 3 shares post split will have voting rights, assuming I've read this correctly.

> Facebook will issue two of the so-called "Class C" shares for each outstanding Class A and Class B share held by shareholders.

> So, for example, someone who held a single Class A share at Wednesday's closing price of $108.76 would end up instead with one Class A share and two Class C shares, each of which would be priced at $36.25.

> "Since the Class C shares would have the same economic rights as the Class A and Class B shares, we would expect that after the payment of the stock dividend, the share price of the Class A common stock would generally reflect a three for one stock split," Facebook Chief Financial Officer Dave Wehner said on a conference call.

Actually it would be a bit more accurate to say the bill completely eliminates any 180 day distinction.

Current law:
"A governmental entity may require the disclosure by a provider of electronic communication service of the contents of a wire or electronic communication, that is in electronic storage in an electronic communications system for one hundred and eighty days or less, only pursuant to a warrant issued using the procedures described in the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure (or, in the case of a State court, issued using State warrant procedures) by a court of competent jurisdiction. A governmental entity may require the disclosure by a provider of electronic communications services of the contents of a wire or electronic communication that has been in electronic storage in an electronic communications system for more than one hundred and eighty days by the means available under subsection (b) of this section."
18 U.S. Code § 2703(a) - https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2703

Bill replaces with:
"Except as provided in subsections (i) and (j), a governmental entity may require the disclosure by a provider of electronic communication service of the contents of a wire or electronic communication that is in electronic storage with or otherwise stored, held, or maintained by that service only if the governmental entity obtains a warrant issued using the procedures described in the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure (or, in the case of a State court, issued using State warrant procedures) that—
(1) is issued by a court of competent jurisdiction; and
(2) may indicate the date by which the provider must make the disclosure to the governmental entity.
In the absence of a date on the warrant indicating the date by which the provider must make disclosure to the governmental entity, the provider shall promptly respond to the warrant."

Leave it to HN to find the cloud in every silver lining. :)

That said, perhaps you have a point...
Results aren't malicious. Malice is about intent.

The reason you should care about the distinction is because many people think bad things only happen when people purposely act badly. But a lot of bad is done by people acting with good intentions or neutral intentions. This ironically leads people to falsely trusting systems to do the right thing.

A bunch of well meaning FBI examiners can end up jailing innocent people if they are all using the same text book that got some facts wrong.

Plus like I said, it's not even clear that innocent people were sent to jail because of this. At least it's not clear from the article, I haven't looked for the report that is mentioned.
I'd donate money to an open-source self-driving-car project.

Imagine being able to download the schematics for the car, order relevant commercial parts, 3D print the exterior, connect to a specialized Raspberry Pi with cameras and sensors, built-in GPS, ...

I don't actually know how you would do this but if Google can build a self-driving car, then why couldn't an independent group of motivated people who don't have any conflict of interest also make one?
When the NSA intercepts it on the wire, under the presumption of investigating international terrorists (presumably in near-real-time) and the then shares it [0] with domestic three-letter-agencies, does it matter that they need a warrant to get it from "provider" (Google, etc.)?

Hm, kinda strange, I was always under the impression that we didn't quite yet have a public consensus that there's an expectation of privacy in email. Like, not everyone really expects that a given email won't be read by some third party.
Where did you get the idea that putting yourself first is a bad thing in my comment? I didn't mean that. What I was trying to say that you can pick any of this. At the end of the day you're the one who did the job, so it is up to you to decide what to do with it.

> Couldn't the same be said for a breathalyzer?

Yes, actually, and that question (wrt criminal penalties some states have heaped on) happens to be in front of the Supreme Court right now in Birchfield v. North Dakota[1] (though not for the first amendment, GP is off course there).

Sibling comments are correct on the legal theory behind allowing punishments for refusing to take a breathalyzer test, but it's clearly questionable whether a state should be allowed to issue criminal penalties for availing yourself of your rights. If such a thing were generally allowed, warrants wouldn't be necessary in most cases: let us search your person/phone/car/house/papers without a warrant unless you want severe automatic penalties, etc.

I am not sure if Julia already has something similiar to this ? Can anyone throw some light on this.
> A) Tally up all the Account <-> IP relationships.

In my scenario, it would be two accounts with two IPs each.

That threshold is way below something truly actionable. I mean, could you imagine? A guy travels and uses hotel wi-fi, perhaps internationally. Now he has two IPs associated with his account, and so they block/ban him. Not going to happen.

Hell, locally one's IP often changes thanks to DHCP leases expiring.

> C) Scrutinize accounts who are using an IP that is swarming with accounts from other countries.

This won't scale, and that's entirely the point. They catch ExpressVPN and co because there are 500+ accounts from each of the pool of ~20 IP addresses they have. They probably just block the whole subnet mask. VPS is the same, "this is a datacenter IP range. No customer is running out of a datacenter, it must be being used as a VPN."

But a guy's home connection of 50/20 mbit/s can only handle two users, and can't be flagged as belonging to a datacenter, and can't be range-blocked. I'm sure there will be cases of a person wanting access to 10+ regions, but for the most part, people just want one extra region. In my case, Japan. In most people's cases, the US.

Really the most likely explanation is that Apple writes security bug free code? My guess is the FBI found someone who knew how to exploit the phone or asked a 3rd party with connections to the NSA so there is a level of plausible deniability on the origins.

Only people that want to read your email without your consent believe that. Well, they don't, they just say it.

I'm not sure what you are getting at with your school example. 20% of students from school B aren't graduating; 70% of students from school A aren't graduating. If you institute some program that leads to one new kid graduating, who cares if it's in school A or B?

Gross inequalities between groups _can_ exist, but that tells us _nothing_ about any particular individual within the group, only that individual's chances _when no other information is available_. But other information _is_ available when looking at an individual.

You seem to be suggesting we somehow theoretically add up all one's advantages and disadvantages- But that means... Considering the individual. Great, I agree. Since we are doing that, phrases such as "recognize your male privilege" mean nothing to an individual male, because it is very possible that individual male has severe disadvantages that make singling out the maleness aspect ridiculous- It would be like telling a minority male shot by a cop to reflect on his privilege of not generally facing sexism like a woman does (setting aside that a "male" privilege here is actually a disadvantage, but you get the idea).

In general people have an obligation to help the less fortunate, I agree.
I wish the source for "programmer availability" hadn't evaporated into the ether, because I'd love to see it.

I wonder if it meant "The guys who know Ada are all furiously writing F-22 software" -- parenthetical aside, the F-22 was in flight testing and development during the same years that the F-35 project was getting underway, so there would have been high demand for people experienced with developing mission critical flight software -- "and therefore we have to go with the guys we can spare, who mostly know C++ or Java or something". Or did they mean "No one coming out of school knows Ada anymore so let's go with a more widely known language"?

Well, to be fair, the idea behind whitewashing is that there's some benefit to covering up the horrors of the past. It doesn't work out that way, especially when the truth eventually comes out. But what would be the benefit here? It's ice measurement data from seven centuries ago, long before climate skeptics started complaining that scientists were "fudging data for grant money" and other nonsense accusations. The monks would have had zero reason to fudge data.

In any case, you didn't really see the rise of Japanese militarism until after the Meiji Restoration in 1868. The atrocities that took place before and during WWII can't really be connected to a remote monastery and its priests who started recording this data seven centuries beforehand.
I tend to think that cost of a house is the carrying costs, mortgages, interest, maintenance, taxes. In a built up area, carrying costs are determined by what the local economy will support.

Reducing property taxes just drives up the price and thus mortgage payments. Difference is property taxes tend to pay for local services and infrastructure that increase the real value of a home. Where mortgage and interest paid flee to places elsewhere.
I didn't suggest just 2 options. It is a range of choices you get, starting from "you", ending with "others", pick any point.

And sure, you're right "Plenty of people make a living doing things that help the world.", but why this "Kraken" is not Open Source then?

"encryption is to prevent eavesdropping and session hijacks by the third party [...] it is Really Important for stock exchanges"

Stock (and other financial) exchanges are major users of UDP, but in general they do not encrypt it.

Exchanges give clients direct connections to their networks using dedicated Ethernet lines, one per
customer. This, combined with datacenter security, is what prevents eavesdropping and session
hijacking. They do not use UDP over the Internet at all.
Because it's not intuitive to some people. Some people just don't 'get' it. The assumption is that such people are probably also not good software developers.
You blew my mind a little bit there ... so you're introducing the notion of a super light-weight subscription / payment system to sidecar the API specification itself? This something that would make sense with state-less services vs those requiring some investment by the service provider (i.e. some account with more backend overhead)?

Having the API specification cover more of the business/service aspects is very interesting (could you possibly define cost per call per endpoint or per payload size for instance).
The huge one being that your connection won't be used for illegal purposes. I would never in a million years operate what is essentially a mini Tor exit node.

And even the paid one way option ... there's also too many people on Hola sharing the same endpoints, and the threshold is high enough that many people are reporting that Hola is getting blocked as well.

The ratio needs to be 1:1. And if Netflix manages to block a user connecting from only two residential IP addresses, then the final step in this game is those two people will share their logins with each other. I connect to a Japan exit point, and use that person's Japanese account login; and vice versa. At that point, there is nothing left that Netflix can possibly do to stop me.

You can "magically" gain a lot of the things Erlang has, by using the same approach as Erlang.

Python in particular has several great ways to get the benefits of shared nothing, "green thread"/"VM internal processes"/Erlang style concurrency, powered by message passing.

My two favourite ones are.

Stackless Python - it's got a mixed reputation among the subset of Python programmers that know it exists, but if you're curious about Erlang style concurrency, it's at least worth reading about.

The Pulsar framework- https://pythonhosted.org/pulsar/ - it's a Python 3.4/3.5 asyncio powered Erlang style actor model concurrency framework... It's brilliant and deserves much more attention than it gets.
This may help: Public Charity vs. Private Foundation [1]

Generally, I think charities are understood to use most of their funds to directly support the people in need rather than spending money on administration of the charity.

By the way, non-profits are not viewed as inherently good by those within the sector,

> Charity non-profits face many of the same challenges of corporate governance which face large, publicly traded corporations. Fundamentally, the challenges arise from the "agency problem" - the fact that the management which controls the charity is necessarily different from the people who the charity is designed to benefit [2]

Any time I want to look further into OCaml, it's because the purist in me wants a better language than the ones I'm already using. And it always comes down to Haskell vs OCaml for me, and Haskell always wins out because OCaml has lots of edge cases built into the language and the standard library that they justify and excuse rather than deprecating and cleaning up. Then again, Haskell also has Prelude. But it feels like OCaml has way more legacy cruft.

Hamdi is an example ceo,

Here is some background information - don't grt me wrong the move is great but as any great move there are a few more implications:

1) tpg loaned 750mn to bail out idaho plant to Ulukaya.

2) as part of the deal tpg has warrants against hamdi's own stock.

3) tpg try to oust hamdi once, the gidt cements his role as a ceo as employee love and support to him is boosted.

4) tpg's warrants are diluted since hamdi gave out 10% of his own stock. Essentially now the options can address 90% of hamdi's stock.

AGain a great chess move.

Your move tpg.

The concept of a Textalyzer also ignores the capacity for apps themselves to be the cause of the activity. For example IFTTT could be sending texts as a result of some trigger. The messaging app could be retrying to send a message that was sent previously. You might have auto-email set up. The entire concept is flawed. That your phone has engaged in some kind of activity is not indicative that the human who owns the phone did so manually.
