Right, but they need criminal or treasonous intent, or gross negligence. "Broke the law" isn't enough, in the same way that old jaywalking charges don't generally get brought up against you, even if somebody can prove it with security camera footage. The bar gets higher when you're digging up old stuff.
You're right that it's not part of the MVP, but it's pretty clear that it's a feature that is planned and will probably follow very quickly.
> What got him in hot water was the fact that Megaupload clearly knew about specific instances of copyright infringement and still went ahead anyway. And this guy knew about it and kept working there helping them do it.

Do we know it was actually illegal in the country he resided?

As far as I'm aware, the reason he had to be brought to the US was he was within the law in his home country.
No, it's not. It's quite simple.

There are only a few types of fonts available - TrueType, PostScript, bitmap, maybe others? At any rate, you test a couple of examples of each type. Paint is a bitmap graphic generator, right? Apply letters in a test font to a bitmap, and compare the resulting bitmap to an expected value.

We don't need to test every possible font there is. We only need to test enough fonts to cover the likely failure cases and known bugs.

Speaking of bugs, suppose we find a bug with a specific font, or a specific size of font, or something like that. We write a test that exercises the bug, then fix the bug. Because it's a one-off test, it's not a tremendous burden to write. Moreover, that bug will never come back undetected again.

I think at times we get too caught up in the visual components. Visuals like sketches and mockups and even code-less prototypes are perhaps best for communicating concepts, which is a part of design. But there's also the part of design that's less about communicating designs and more about applying the concept and designing a way that it can be created and engineered. That's where designing with code is extremely helpful.

So yeah, if I'm exploring or communicating ideas to non-technical people then yeah maybe code is less appropriate, but to say that you shouldn't design with code is ignoring a huge part of the design process.
In US, sure. But agreements like EULA have been proven completely meaningless courts in different EU countries - you can break them all you like, it's definitely not illegal. The company might stop doing business with you, but you absolutely haven't broken any laws.
Not only that, but there is mountains of evidence that she deleted emails that should have been turned over to the state. In the Judicial Watch case there's been plenty of emails attached to deposition's that weren't included in the public email release, so unless they simply "forgot" to release these emails or they were some of the few that were withheld due to containing "confidential" information then she deliberately worked to withhold these emails, who knows what else she considered "personal" and decided to not turn over to the State Department.

…Believe it or not, humans in general have been a huge source of actual evil throughout human history. You could probably reasonably argue that Christians and Muslims¹ have contributed enough good that in spite of their evil actions they've probably had a net positive effect on humanity.

Oh, and quite a lot of math and science dates back to Christian and Muslim scholars, so your last sentence is perhaps dismissive of the general intellect of religious folk. As someone rather appreciative of the work of Isaac Newton, Blaise Pascal, Gregor Mendel, a variety of ancient Muslim scholars, and many more, I'm glad they didn't stick to reading fiction.

¹ Who I don't generally group with Christians (the religions, while superficially similar, are pretty different), but I don't have anything against them and I would not consider them “evil”, or at least not more evil than humanity at large.

Separate from those, about 2,000 additional e-mails were “up-classified” to make them Confidential; the information in those had not been classified at the time the e-mails were sent.

I don't think that's how this works. Information is born classified.
"...a very small number of the e-mails containing classified information bore markings indicating the presence of classified information." How, as a U.S. Federal employee, does someone (Hillary, an aide, an admin, etc...) see classified markings on an unclassified system and not get goosebumps in terror let alone consult proper authorities in or outside chain of command escapes me.
TLDR: "Gross Negligence, but no case." Yeah....
Sure, but it is a real problem. Many antibiotics that were useful in the past are much less useful now, and more antibiotics with undesirable side effects are being used as treatments of last resort.

> If only we could exile the GNOME devs, Canonical & the systemd devs to a desert island, the state of the Linux desktop would be … well, probably not as good but at least it'd be a much more collegial community.

I wouldn't judge them that harshly, but the kerfuffles had the effect of splitting the Linux community into those who embrace progress and those who shun it. Sadly, most of the experienced went the latter way because the progressive path was full of cranks.

> To get back to the original topic: the attitudes of the GNOME devs, Canonical & the systemd devs reminds me of that of the OpenBSD devs, with the exception that the OpenBSD guys are generally right, just socially inept in how they convey their message.

Most of this, in my experience, comes from sticking to a very strong opinion that is heavily based on ideals. The further apart from the real and existing world these ideals are, the more caution should be taken when implementing them. Otherwise you will be placing a huge turd on someone's desk. During work hours. On a deadline.

I think this is the main problem with the attitude that the Gnome and systemd devs have. The Canonical devs took their ideals at least closer from a working model (OS X) and they were (I assume) motivated by pragmatism.

The OpenBSD devs base their ideals probably closer to their own experience. That makes it more likely to be right.

Ask HN: Choosing Human judgement over AI in categorizing incoming messages
In Email, Labels are private thing to receiver. So the entire message organizing work stays on the receiver side. So we rely on receiver/mail filters/AI to categorize the messages once we received it.

I understand building AI based solutions are complex and needs expertise.

Formal tries to do the organizing in a different approach. ( https://www.formalapp.com )

Formal shows a list of receiver entered tags to sender to pick the right one.

I admit, this is not technically complex, just showing a list of things a human entered to another human to pick. But this works.

Does HN appreciate this kind of approach ?
Same here we are using it for most of our commits. When someone is done with their changes, they issue a PR which is reviewed by one or two team members before being rejected or merged by saying LGTM.

> Is the total number of hierarchies between the top level and the bottom level an easily measurable thing?

Sure. Just check all the files on your disk.

> Does this number have significant impact on efficiency or on some other parameter important to the computers function?

Not once the file is accessed and all the relevant structures are cached. Actually on some filesystems it's beneficial to split directories with lots of files (think millions) into deeper hierarchies. You can sometimes see this bubbling up to the visible layer on some file hosting sites. You get a url that looks like example.com/file/so/me/somehash (first characters of the hash are used for the hierarchy split)
yes, AFAIK this is still true today
I welcome this. It's ridiculous that we have strict regulation on other monetary instruments but for some reason not for crypto currencies.
That isn't a disservice to jquery. The fact that people don't explicitly mention it could actually be viewed as a demonstration of its ubiquity.
So, what's the solution? I've been hearing about this my entire life, and it just seems to feed into a horribly asymmetric debate between academics, scientific consensus on one hand, and "all of industry" on the other.
I don't know about the exact situation, but plenty of times intelligence has been leaked accidentally. In fact, while I was in Military Intelligence we use to get regular briefings on call such and such number if you hear some dudes at the bar talking about classified information. I've had briefings on what to do if I discover classified material left at a bar. I've had a lot of briefings about classified material being leaked because something happened at a bar... It's a very real issue...

It pretty much boils down to contact FBI CI (https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/counterintelligence) or the CI agents on base (if it happened on a military instillation.
It feels like this was the bar:

"All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here."

Interestingly, those who are strongly opposed to HRC use the term "traitor" frequently. It'll be interesting to see if the more fringe elements pick up on "indications of disloyalty to the US" as the reason why they think this should be prosecuted.

> I should add here that we found no evidence that any of the additional work-related e-mails were intentionally deleted in an effort to conceal them.

Maybe I'm being overly paranoid but he doesn't say the same thing about any of the other emails. Is it plausible that this is intentional? That other emails were intentionally deleted in an effort to conceal them?
They certainly did not say that there was 'gross negligence'. That would have meant a case.
You're highlighting the perverseness of time management. At its best it's a giant confusing mess, and that's before we get to all the bizarre business logic that's built up over time.

I actually think it may simply be that we have signs and large printed things with times on them, and it'd be onerous to have to replace each multiple times a year (or make them bigger with a layer of conditionals based on date). Instead, we push that complexity onto the backend and deal with time there. It's certainly easier from the customer and business owner, and we've merely make life much more difficult for the programmers and engineers... which is probably how it should be. It's the job of the technical people to deal with the technicalities, so to me, it seems like everything is working properly.

Still a nasty, messy problem, though.
Honestly, this is pretty small time, and contrary to the title there is some demand. By contrast we seem to just shrug at the F-35 program as it races past $1.5 trillion in sunk costs.
"Security or administrative sanctions": presumably things like: lose your security clearance for X months or until you complete Y training/attestations. He's implying that HRC could face those sanctions still.

In some sense mooted by her not being at State at the moment. On the other hand, could be interesting to walk into the presidency having security clearance issues. (Not to say that that would necessarily be a big deal.)

This opinion piece is preposterous junk. It presumes that naysayers make assertions that they don't (copulas are always dropped in AAVE).

And the dumb defense of double negatives is totally predicated on the presence of THREE negatives in any AAVE sentence ("ain't never seen nothing like it"), which is not at all assured.

LAME.
Yeah, I think you nailed it. It's just a little sad to be reminded, once again, how our legal system is hardly "blind" and unbiased. If you're a regular Joe (or Aaron Swartz, or Weev, etc.) you get the book thrown at you and the keys to the jail buried somewhere... if your name is Clinton and you happen to be Secretary of State and candidate for President, you get a wink and nudge and another opening for more "smokey back room" deals.

Of course, this story isn't completely over yet, and the Justice Department could still choose to file charges. But still... I think we can largely see the writing on the wall here.
To clarify even though it's probably too late. She couldn't do division or multiplication of any size in her head, and was fuzzy on what occasions to use them in. For example, if you said "pay me back over 3 years for this $30,000 car", she might first multiply it by 3, get a very large number and then try dividing it and decide that's the right answer.

People are getting hung up on the fact that I said "long division" but it was basically anything beyond addition and subtraction.
He is saying more than that though:

All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here.

You've listed one thing she didn't do, he's actually listed 4 different things that have previously resulted in a recommendation to prosecute that she didn't do, deliberate intent/wilfulness, scope of breach, obvious disloyalty or a subsequent attempt at coverup.
The only people who make a deal about "but they were retroactively classified!" never held or considered getting a security clearance. Documents can be retroactively marked if they weren't properly marked to begin with, but that doesn't mean they weren't classified the moment pen was put to paper. A original classifying authority like the SoS should know this and it is no excuse.
Sort of. The rebuttal (by Flandin and Friston) suggests that properly-applied parametric statistics of the kind they favor are valid. Eklund et al. wouldn't disagree with that because their own findings support it, but they would point out that not all researchers necessarily adhered to the conservative statistical approach that F&F discuss. More specifically, both sets of authors describe the importance of using a conservative "cluster defining threshold" to identify spatially contiguous 3D blobs of brain activation. Eklund et al. use their findings to raise the question of whether the bulk of fMRI reports were conservative in this regard.

That is not at all what that paragraph means.

It means: Although we recommend against criminal prosecution, we're not saying that this won't warrant some kind of sanctions. But this document is discussion criminal prosecution only, so we're not going to comment on or make a decision about what those sanctions might be.

I suspect they're saying that because those sanctions would come from other organizations and are not a part of the FBI's purview.

They are not saying "Hillary gets away with it, but you won't!"
I like DST, it's a pragmatic political solution to a sociological problem.

Here's the problem. During summer, people want to enjoy more sunlight during the evening and do not care about having that much sunlight early mornings.

So some countries implement DST by advancing the clock by one hour. This solves the problem but seems like a bit of a hack and is painful for developers to deal with.

Now, you could say that this could be very easily solved by just having people come earlier to work during summer and having the shops having different hours during summer time and winter time. This would be cleaner, there wouldn't be the DST transition and less headaches for us poor souls who have to develop applications to deal with it.

The problem with the simple clean solution is that convincing employers to change their office hours would be much harder, you'd need to fight against inertia. It'd be also very difficult to codify into laws due to the widely differing operating hours from business to business. Likewise, changing the time people eat wouldn't necessarily work because people tend to be irrational about things like time and wouldn't actually eat one hour earlier in summer which would also make it difficult to get restaurants to change their operating hours...

The world is messy, people are messy and tend to resist change. So the DST is a simple hack that allows people to get what they want without an overly high cognitive surcharge and work to make that change.

I work from home as a freelancer so I have a much more flexible schedule that most but I still like having DST because my friends who do not have that flexibility end up with more daylight hours in Summer..

I've lived in countries with and without DST and, honestly, I love the added daylight hours in the evening, it's enjoyable and it's a huge plus compared to countries that do not have it. I consider the very slight jetlag during the transition worth it (and honestly one hour jetlag is quite easy to handle).

(Of course, if you asked me about DST last year when I was dealing with a bug that was triggered by it, I'd be ranting a lot more :-))

Someone has to decide to make the information classified, it doesn't do so on its own. It's possible information can go through the chain all the way to the President before it's marked classified.
Ah, great point. I didn't think of this constraint.

So the maximum number of hierarchies is something around 127? eg a/a/a/a/a/a/a/a/a
