I'm face-palming at your comment, and I'll take the bait.

Firstly, there is no such thing as "retina quality video". If you mean 4K, then say 4K. "Retina" is Apple marketing spin for their high density displays that you seem to be using to describe a standard of video. More to the point, websites are not pre-loading 4K video that is counted towards page weight.

To your claims about needing bootstrap for presenting a page on small to large screens. There are numerous easy methods for making a site readable on small and large screens that don't require shoving layout frameworks in and relying on them to make things look good. Learn HTML. Learn CSS.

> "Being wasteful is a minor problem"

That statement would be great as an ironic t-shirt, but otherwise is yet another facepalm.

> "everyone has fast broadband"

Great news. With that assumption out of the way, we can get on with pre-loading retina video and throwing page-weight caution to the wind.

> "Everything is cached"

The utopian world you live in sounds great, but mobile devices are known to be very bad at both long term resource caching and short term memory caching - as in multiple open browser tabs.

The point of the article is that even basic articles are bloated whales that waste precious bandwidth on mobile. On desktop, common sense design is replaced with "touch friendly mobile-first impressionism" for actually less accessibility. When spinning globe videos and 2000 pixel auto-playing slideshow presentations in a vast landscape with hamburger menu in corner is considered the "modern web", we need to take a hard look at what modern should be.

The improved functionality you're talking about does not need to mean bloat or excessive amounts of data to drive simple things on websites.
Yes, but there is other area that I think it keeps unexplored, taking advantage of writing recognition to write programs.

Just writing down as one would be on a piece of paper.

Many tablets have their algorithms quite good nowadays and yet developers use them to create ToDo list apps.

There is just a few Android apps I know that make use of it for drawing diagrams.

I empathize with the OP's view that there's a usability gap with out of the box file systems/namespace (short of bash/sed/awk/perl wrangling, natch), so I applaud this project.

I have a couple of points/concerns after a quick read.

1) So 'tag' is the verb that updates the records, but 'tags' is a read?

Poor taxonomy, IMHO. If I'm using "tmsu" I know I'm working with tags, so I'd think natural switches would be the way to go ( tmsu add, tmsu ls|list, &.) Or at least don't make the "create" verb and "read' verb differ only by the plural 'S.'

2) Is there a way to list all existing tags? —not just the ones already bound to a file but all available in the database (with regex filtering, of course).

That's what I'd need to pick from my 'tag pallette' before actually tagging so I could avoid creating synonyms accidentally that'd later require a merge.

Breitbart has teams of reporters and editors, so does Infowars. Breitbart has offices in different locations, such as London and the U.S. Breitbart has it's reporters following the campaign and they get many exclusives. If we all should agree they aren't news orgs, then the HuffPost isn't a news org.
I see no intimidation for (1), just a straightforward statement of preference. (2) is not considered acceptable. And I'm going to bet that this behavior is not going to be considered acceptable either. Certainly the linked story doesn't portray it as acceptable, and at the moment nearly every HN comment here is critical.
while people with weird special circumstances get second guessed and lectured.

I'd argue that if they cannot make it clear they are in special circumstances rather than being clueless, then they deserve second guessing and lecturing. That's what I meant by communication style.
YouTube recommendations have been improving, and I do find a lot of material of interest, which says something as my interests are obscure.

But, and this is a big but: YouTube doesn't provide the options to either dismiss any given suggestion, nor to block specific channels. There's sufficient crap on YouTube that both are essential. I've been campaigning for both features for some time now.

Google's recently implemented an account-wide blocked-users manager. It applies now to G+ and Hangouts, though it may move beyond that. "Google doesn't comment on future plans", as they're fond of saying. I have hopes.
First of all, diabetes pills are not really 'health products.' They are more like 'you fucked up your health, now try not to die' products. Even Nestle's low-fat and low-sugar "foods" are a far cry from "health products." You are being disingenuous by conflating the two, or even for suggesting that Nestle is in the business of selling "health products."

Beyond that, however, I see a pretty big flaw in your reasoning here. Given your argument, can you not then extend your theory on guaranteeing future profits to also include the strategy of selling both the problem and the solution? This, too, is a very 'normal' thing for large, multi-national manufacturers of consumer goods to be engaged in.

Nestle, along with Coca Cola and Kroger, is a well-known corporate supporter of programs such as SNAP in the US, and is also one of the largest benefactors from said programs. I am a full-on capitalist, but that does not mean that we ought to give a pass to the morally-flawed existences of companies like Nestle, which leverage its influence in the State to reap greater profits.
Pish. Oracle didn't buy Sun for SPARC any more than Google would have. I don't hear anything about SPARC infighting at Oracle.
For the past couple of decades, there's been some amount of affinity between Libertarians and conservatives. That's likely because the conservatives pay lip service to ideals of "smaller government", which is central to libertarianism. However, that really is just lip service, and so that alliance is a very [un]easy one.

Even aside from that friction, there is some potential affinity between Libertarians and Liberals, because Libertarians see no governmental role in issues like gay marriage and use of medication/drugs. Because both groups seek similar outcomes in those areas there would be room for cooperation. But (IMHO) the Liberals are too antagonistic of property rights and self defense rights for this potential to be realized.

Aside from political affinities, I think the real thrust of the parent post was that FB's actions are fraudulent: the product they're delivering to you differs in an important (to some people) way from what they claim they're delivering. In libertarian philosophy, fraud is just one form of force, which is the core evil: the central tenet of libertarianism is to not initiate force against another person.

So at the risk of putting words in someone else's mouth: yes, a libertarian would be equally pissed off if the issue were the mirror of what we see here.

If you're interested in genomics, you should take a look at the pharmacogenomics knowledgebase from Stanford: http://www.pharmgkb.org/

It is a comprehensive database of dosing guidelines, drug labels, and annotations for thousands of combinations of genes, variants, drugs, and diseases.

(We're actually helping them with a redesign, and if you'd like to be a beta tester, contact me.)
Oh, I know. I perhaps should have made it more clear that my issue was with the curator saying that as if it was inherently bad and indicative of a problem, instead of inherently good and useful as a rule.
> What's important here is that Facebook is not covered by those laws, simply because it did not exist when the laws were created. In my view it should be covered by those laws.

Is Fox "News" covered by these laws? Surely you're not suggesting with a straight face that Fox News is "fair and balanced" ?
One thing to note is that if Google loses, this is going back up the appeal chain and will no doubt take another whack at the Supreme Court on the original issue. We don't know why the Supreme Court denied cert., but among the reasons that Oracle said that it should do so was that the appeal was interlocutory, and there is a preference in appeals courts agains such appeals -- that is, because the ruling that resulted in sending the case back to the trial court to decide the fair use issue, the decision was non-final, and, if the Supreme Court were to hear an appeal on the issue raised (which Oracle also argued that they shouldn't, for other reasons), they should do so only after a final decision in the courts below.

Because its possible that that was the reason the Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal, its certain that should Google lose at trial on the fair use issue, they'll be back up the appeal chain not only on that issue, but also attempting to raise the copyrightability issue with the Supreme Court again. Which may be more inclined to take and decide the issue on a final decision (and, depending how long things take to get through the courts, and what happens in the political sphere, may be a substantially different court than the one that refused the case previously, anyway.)

Also, since the patent claims are now gone from the case, I think the inevitable (whoever wins) first appeal from the trial court will now go to the Ninth Circuit and not the Federal Circuit, and its quite possible that the Ninth Circuit will rule differently on the issue than the Federal Circuit did.
Religion has it's historical roots in power. Early civilizations where often broken down into:

1. religious class
2. warrior class
3. artisan class
4. peasants and labour class

I think this structure is pretty similar to the caste system of India whereby only the Brahmins are allowed to perform religious rites and are richly rewarded for it financlally by the peasants and labourers.
And yet he's right - sexual attractiveness of fat/obese people is more of a fetish, then an evolutionary preference.

If I wasn't more interested in Agent oriented languages, it might be interesting to see what could be done to design a new language built for performance. I would imagine you'd start with the Ada side of the house and work your way back to more pleasing syntax.
> At any one time, a publisher can be serving ads from a few exchanges, a few different private sellers, and custom built ads for brands. And these all are served in different combinations across several different ad units on multiple pages. And some of those ad sellers may be backfilling with other ad networks, or maybe the publisher is backfilling certain ads from the ad exchanges at certain CPM prices.

So, don't do that.

> It's not that simple.

It is absolutely that simple.

Your argument is basically, "Their process is so complicated they can't avoid serving up malware." But that's not a justification for serving up malware. If your process is too complicated to avoid serving malware, then you need to simplify your process until you can avoid serving up malware.

You don't get a free pass on ethics just because ethics are inconvenient for your business model.
Why not use file attributes and provide a nice interface for managing them? (e.g. extend find to search them, etc)? A parallel database is fragile -- it can trivially get out of synch.

Restricted cash is only $47 Mil.

I think they're actually accounting the pre-order money as straight up Cash on hand.

> My only point is that their cash position to build out their production line is probably overstated if you only look at the cash/marketable securities line item.

I agree with this. I'm just surprised at how they're accounting for this. I'm fairly certain they consider the pre-order money to be 'cash / cash-equivalents', the $1.4 Billion line item.
And what would be the purpose of machine civilization, then?

So tag order is important?

i.e. `music mp3 folk` results in a different virtual file system than `folk music mp3`?

I often think of tags as an unordered set, rather than an ordered list.

The Doppio authors (me) are completely uninvolved; this is an independent effort! This project makes it a bit easier to integrate Doppio and use it out-of-the-box.

I suspect the assertion failure is caused by some of their modifications to Doppio's start up code to pause and extend the main thread's runtime.
How do you propose content producers earn their income, if you think neither ads nor paywalls are acceptable?
Sure, it's actually a feature of the major tools, rather than a tool in itself (in most cases). Look up MemoQ, Trados and the newer EU project Matecat. Dozens more besides, take a look at the Wikipedia page for CAT tools [0].

> it is within their (the website) responsibility to ensure that ads and/or content should not cause harm to a visitor.

I don't think that's been established. With the current state of advertising on the internet, it's not even possible to do this.

In general, websites use advertising networks which do not allow them to proactively vet the content. Even if they did, no amount of vetting can guarantee the content is benign (active content can do naughty things only some of the time or on some platforms, or things not yet recognized as naughty - this is also why antivirus isn't reliable). So, clearly the solution is to not allow Javascript or flash, right? Nope - exploits in image parsers, font parsers, video parsers, audio parsers, etc. come out fairly often.

This could maybe be dealt with by contracts between websites and advertising networks specifying that the advertising network will be liable for malicious content, but I don't see that happening.
Ho-hum. After reading the paper, they didn't use anything like machine learning or expert knowledge. They just kludged the whole thing step-by-step into the robot. Its "planning" was to draw a line between the NIRF tags on the surface of the pig gut.

So it's not even properly autonomous- they're just misusing the term to mean that nobody was remote-controlling it.

Meh. All those exclamation marks in vain :(

As long such practices are declared.

People tend to look at "what's trending" in an effort to optimize/manipulate their content so that users would "trend" on it. The fact that FB was artificially eliminating stories gave false results to observers.

Another way of looking at this is if Nielson were to lower the rankings of shows it disagrees with and affecting the duration of those shows.

Non-biological humanity is such a solution. It makes travel to other systems much easier if we don't have to worry about generations of humans or messy biological needs.

And for whatever vestiges wish to remain, we could collect the gasses the Sun sloughs off during its red giant phase and use them for fuel, as well as moving closer in - and we wouldn't need the Earth.
It balances the moralising promotion of the idea that profit is inherently admirable no matter the consequences.
It's a useful classification system, but calling it "zero bugs" is basically a lie. Whether something is labeled critical/bug or not is based on importance, not whether it's actually a bug.
Any news outlet or aggregator that's claims it is unbiased is probably lying. If there are humans involved there will be bias.
Agency model is the problem. I just went through this with my spouse (again). She is not a developer, but in an advertising agency.

Agencies just win accounts, then hire people like you to do the grunt work, and they cater to every whim of the client, no matter how unreasonable. That's the model -- why lose the client's dollars? They'd rather burn you out and lose you instead if they need to lose someone. They squeeze out as much work per $ out of you as they can, then keep what's left over as profit.

It really doesn't matter what type of business -- law firm, ad agency, consultancy, CPA firm -- they all run on this business model, and you'll notice the "associates" (that is, not the partners who bring in the money) are always miserable grunt workers.

Much better to get on a "product" side, as in, the company makes money by investing in a product or solution, and it's worth it for them to invest in talent that improves this solution.
Note that the source for this is a single self-identified conservative ex-contractor.

> I'm just getting started on setting up an OpenBSD router that I want to be the basis for making sure much of my data is secure.

A bit of warning... I've seen this go wrong when people who don't know OpenBSD do this. Adding an additional OS means learning and "supporting" it.

* If learn your way around, get it set up well, keep your system updated the way you do for anything else, then you'll be in good shape.

* If you learn just enough to get it working and then set it on the back burner for when you can find the time to learn more, don't update it, etc., then you're better off going with an OS that you know and can keep secure.

I'm not trying to dissuade you, but I'd like you to evaluate if you will devote the time to using a new OS on a border device that it deserves. If you will then I think you'll be quite happy with your choice. :)
Thanks, that makes a lot of sense as a design decision, should be a big step forwards for security.

On the point about the difference between "conservative news" and "liberal news", I agree that it's unfortunate the two even exist. But for the sake of the Gizmodo article, I think it was important for them to call this out, because not only was "conservative news" being censored, but "liberal news" was being introduced or boosted.

Curators would find less biased (read: not as sympathetic to the conservative viewpoint) sources for trending conservative topics, but they would not do the same for liberal topics. So I agree that it's best to find balanced journalism, but that should happen on both sides (conservative and liberal). If they only find less biased sources for conservative media, then that is in itself even more biased toward the liberal agenda. They were censoring or watering down the conservative view point from multiple angles.
For any Linux distro, applying the grsecurity patchset will make your box more secure.

RHEL (and thus, CentOS) does a pretty good job of configuring and enabling SELinux for packaged software.

There is a Hardened Gentoo. All the fun of normal Gentoo, but with fewer companions to find the compiler bugs. ;-) Still, they've built quite a stack of security patches, including grsecurity.

There is (used to be?) Hardened Linux From Scratch. Educational, but not practical.

OpenWall Linux is dead-ish, but - as you'd expect from a Solar Designer product - introduced several interesting patches (some backported from OpenBSD). You may be interested in http://www.openwall.com/presentations/Owl/.

I recommend - and use - OpenBSD, but there are definitely people interested in security in the Linux world.

Of course, you don't need to know any CS fundamentals to "discover" them and start using them. But if you want to learn the CS behind them and how they operate on a theoretical level, I'd say start with the algorithms that power networking and the internet and then progress up to data structures used by these frameworks to deal with databases, caching etc. I'm not too familiar with any of them except for django so I can't get into that much detail.
