I'm planning on a getting a null modem and connecting a Windows 10 box to it, and also do some kind of TCPDUMP on the wire. I'm hoping this will be easy to do.

I've actually read the privacy policy that is linked from the Windows 8.1 operating system. It's pretty frighting what they collect. They're browser is basically spyware with the things it collects.

What I want to know is this:

If I use Chrome, or Firefox, are they still somehow collecting my browsing data?

I know that IE is actually built into the Windows operating system.

Define "much lower". Also Western Europe has several different countries.

In terms of "take home per month", expect between 2.5kE and 3.5kE for places like Ireland/Germany/Netherlands (YMMV) for a higher seniority

Now in Spain, Portugal, Italy it is going to be lower
Probably just showing my ignorance, but there is a processor running in the phone, and it is connected to the various chips on the board, and you can run your own apps that could query the chips directly? If the OS disallows this, I'd be hacking the OS, rather than the hardware.

How did we get to this point, where our personal computing devices are completely out of our basic control? We live in bizarro world.
Tangent, but I'm fairly confident that voting here is often done less civilly than commenting. Blind upvoting of top comments, upvoting of shallowly positive comments, and downvoting of negative comments that are highly accurate but just not want people want to read, are a real problem here. It leads to rage commenting. It leads to groupthink. All sorts of undesirable consequences. So in HN's hierarchy of needs, I'd like to see more work on voting algos.

That seems safer, with Snowden's device it has to detect transmission after it begins to occur in order to trigger shutdown or alert the user, so it's going to leak some amount of RF even if little. A properly constructed Faraday cage shouldn't though.
>It seems common for people who think in words to suppose everyone else is that way. I am not sure why.

Perhaps because that's how you get to know what someone else is thinking? Even when you draw pictures (which is quite common in technical fields) they usually need some explanation.
It doesn't really seem like a decent comparison when you look at the comments and read that he used two different graphics drivers for the comparison. Proprietary for the first demo, open source nouveau for the second (which I suppose is more impressive considering their differences, but anyway). Anyone know why that is?
>Same story with Italy. It started its industrial success of the '50s as a country where you could get cheap, unschooled (but not unskilled) workers that would work for 20 hours a day without any protection from the existing legal framework. ...

>Now people forgot all that and like to think of "Made in Italy" as a symbol of innovation and style.

Kind of funny for Italy to follow this pattern, since a few hundred years before, they were the at forefront of the Renaissance, with high-earning artisans (in the non-ironic sense) producing the highest-quality goods in Europe.
A lot of people who do not own (i.e., renters) in SF also do not want high rises. They feel like SF would have a long way to go before all of the foreign money runs out and those apartments would become affordable to them. In short, they don't think more building will benefit them in terms of housing, but will instead be bad for them in terms of quality of life, e.g., more people and traffic, etc.
Wave Computing rolls out plans for fast deep-learning computers
I agree in theory, but in practicality I don't.

∆ and δ have distinct and separate meanings in some of my coursework that can't be exchanged. The nomenclature/symbolism is so screwed up in some engineering fields that it would either require all students to revert to the existing symbolism or a level of investment in rewriting literature from research academics that created this screwed system in the first place.

I think Feynman had it right, he could invent the best symbols in the world for every operation but no one will use them.
OP is just saying that in general even a pretty novice programmer who also strongly believed in the MVP mindset still wouldn't store images directly in the database. I think he was just using S3 as an example since it is the most popular solution for web developers right now.

The author alludes that the traders would have been making those trades "all day", but suspiciously absent is any evidence that they actually had. According to the facts reported, the traders only traded pounds on three days over a week-and-a-half period.

We need to see the traders' trades for a longer period before the Cairn trade to see if they actually do trade pounds all day.
Stack Overflow Just Launched Real-World Developer Problem Solver
you were downvoted because HN is not the friendly place it pretends to be: they don't like what you said. You only get to sneer at people if you drink the KoolAid. They hide behind the "it was the way you said it" excuse when they don't share your POV.

I don't share your POV btw, but I got downvoted because they don't like that I defended your right speak because your POV is unacceptable here. And this, to move the topic further afield, is why codes of conduct don't work: it's just another flavor of Turkish Pres Recep Erdoğanian "thin skin to disagreement", or "I don't like your opinion in one area, so you'd better shut up about everything else"
The one thing that is missing from the article is a top view of the sculpture. Although I believe it, I would like to see the sculpture align to the outline of the city.
Last I checked, most places reimburse you about 50 cents/mile for vehicle depreciation and gas. Let's assume drivers pay 15% in taxes, just to make the math easy.

$1 - 20 cents for Uber - 15 cents for taxes - 50 cents for fuel/depreciation = 14 cents.

18 cents - 4 cents for Uber - 3 cents for taxes = 11 cents.

So drivers net 14 cents/mile plus 11 cents/minute.
There are a lot of buildings going up, however many people (who are ironically most affected by the high prices) oppose new building because it displaces locals. It's a catch-22 of displacement: high prices are making the city unaffordable, but adding new housing displaces current residents. So in the end, people just blame tech, because it's an easier boogeyman than dealing with the issue of housing directly.
Looks cool! What's your pricing model?

With a magnetic strip you swipe and put it in your pocket. You can even do that while the cashier is scanning your items - meaning it doesn't cost you any time at all.

With chip you have to put it in the machine and leave it there until the transaction is finished, including signing. Only then can you take it out, exactly at the moment when you should be grabbing your bags.

It's much slower.

Of all the household name tech leaders (Brin, Bezos, Musk, Jobs, etc), Zuckerberg really does strike me as the least substantial and most likely to be inauthentic. Obviously this is just a personal opinion but Facebook seems so laughably inconsequential compared to all of the companies that have made these other founders rich and famous. Apple invents incredible stuff. Google has organized the world's information in astounding ways. Musk is trying to change how energy is consumed (clown show aside). Facebook sells ads based on viral videos of cats falling off furniture and provides yet another forum for people to showcase their own vanity. It's not surprising to me that this is a guy who right before Facebook, created a website to compete with "Hot or Not".

Well, that is if you only view facebook.com, the product. But the tech that it supports and develops can be pretty cool. Oculus, React, and all kinds of research stuff. A bit like you don't necessarily regard Bell at anything exciting but it still finances Bell Labs which is pretty cool.

That's an interesting insight that I never really realized before. I think a lot of people try to pinpoint why Steve Jobs is and was so respected despite the negative ways he treated people.

begin minor rant...

Occam's razor is misused in the manifesto. The author indicates that it means "Prefer simple solutions", which it doesn't.

Occam's razor requires a hypothesis, and generally means "Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected".

For example, Special Relativity is exceedingly complex, especially if I try to explain it to you. Ontologically though (in actual fact), it's the "simplest" solution to explain the real world data that the speed of light is fixed regardless of reference frame. I could come up with other theories to explain the data that might be "simpler" in explanation, but they require more and more assumptions to be made about the real world. For example, I could say that the speed of light is fixed because aliens cause all of our testing apparatus to show the same reading. For sure, that's a much simpler explanation than explaining Special Relativity. But it rests on a whole huge number of assumptions (like aliens existing, that the aliens want to mess with us, that they have the capability of doing so, etc, etc). So here Occam's razor favors the more complex theory because it makes fewer assumptions.

So saying that something is better because it's simpler and then justifying it with Occam's razor is really an abuse of the concept.

I'm sure user modification of functional systems would void the warranty. That is a separate issue from third-party liability, though, because the third-party victims are not party to the warranty.
Full time Clojure dev here who has been transitioning to non-Clojure projects recently, for two main reaons:

1) I've decided that static typing is the world I want to program in, for a wide range of reasons.

2) The JVM (and JS) have their limits, and Clojure is just not as portable as I'd prefer.

Otherwise, I learned a lot from working with Clojure over many hundreds of programming hours, and it is an impressive feat of engineering, but it's limitations are insurmountable at this point.
Yes, if you're tied to Java 6, you're also tied to Scala 2.11. Why is the former version peg ok but not the latter? We do everything we can to enable 2.11.x maintenance by the community (and contributions are trending up!), as well as doing some of our own -- time permitting. If you'd like to get commercial support, we do offer that to our customers.
Climate Change: It's the economy, stupid
Every homicide or rape is shocking, unacceptable, and one too many. Eliminating crime completely can be achieved at the expense of living in a totalitarian society. So there has to be a balance between the emotion aspect of every crime and keeping society free.

Medias usually have this balance in mind when they cover common crime. This balance goes totally out of the door when it is terrorism.
I think the biggest challenge in doing something like this and making an impact is a call to action.

Some users strongly dislike Facebook and already have the motivation necessary to execute on something like this if you made the process easy. I suspect, however, that most Facebook users are either indifferent or genuinely enjoy the service, and it will be difficult to convince these people they should cease using Facebook. Citing privacy concerns or some of Facebook's well-publicized unethical behavior seems to me like it would mainly preach to the choir.

So how do you sell this?
Could do it live, but it's more annoying.
Yep, and the FAA is working on automating and improving all the time. Being tied up by funding seems to be the main issue. I'm a developer working on flight data input/output, and it amazes me how old so much of the tech we use is. It's not that we are unwilling or unable to upgrade, it's a lack of resources. I get to listen to managers talking about how they are finagling multiple funding sources just to try getting 'simple' things like ethernet equipment into the towers so we can get off of serial interfaces, and which group is responsible for what and how much.

I know very little about the financial end of things, or what would or would not solve the problem, but it does seem like a saner funding system would go a long way. Most people I've spoken to here seem skeptical at best about suggestions of breaking us off from the FAA.
> As an outsider

The problem is that "NIMBY politicians" are elected by NIMBY residents. If you are a homeowner, or live in a rent controlled apartment, SF is a fantastic place and there is little incentive to get rid of zoning laws. To fundamentally change the rental market in SF, you need to craft an argument that convinces these voters to change their minds. The "hey, lets get rid of zoning laws so we can build tons of apartments so more people can live here" argument may make sense if you don't live in SF, but if you are already living there, and vote in SF elections, in many cases, it's not going to be very convincing.
I think its google who also asks for Python experience next to Java experience because it shows you went ahead and learned something on your own that wasn't spoonfed to you in school.

Oh, come on! There is no huge performance boost. In fact, based on most properly done benchmarks, there isn't any performance boost at all!

The whole "myth" of a performance boost probably started simply because they added a new startup mode in W8, called "Fast Startup", which is basically just partial hibernation.
So even saying that it boots faster isn't correct; regular boot, sleep and hibernation are still just as fast as they were on W7.

I suspect deformation due to decomposition. Without doing any research I'd say that the decomposition process may rapidly change finger prints enough to no longer be recognized.

Alternatively, and possibly more likely, as a murder victim there's any number of ways his fingerprints could have been obliterated.
Well, I prefer to think of it as "passwords with a narrower threat model". They protect against randos at a party, petty thieves, and even close friends from getting into your data, but not well-funded governments or people willing to cut off your hand.

That may be a good enough for your use case, esp since you don't have to remember it.
A lot of Square-Enix games are better in English than Japanese. There's just no traditional way to write western character stereotypes in Japanese (like the pirate city in FFXIV) and they end up sounding like nothing in particular. Or maybe S-E's Japanese writers are just boring?

The problem is this...when software is designed it is critical to know what is being solved. I don't think the problem set or the way they will be solved has been nailed down, or if it is, it has never been properly explained. In two years of work, and 2mil in funding I would have expected at least a usable alpha (80% complete prototype) in this amount of time. Perhaps that's a wrong expectation, but without even a problem statement and a roadmap, how am I to know?

I have yet to see a rationale for Eve. I'd love to see a 1 paragraph description of what the problem is Eve is trying to solve. Then a bullet point list of goals and non-goals. After that I would love to see a list of architectural decisions (is Eve distributed or not, what size of datasets is Eve aiming for, etc.). After that I'd love to see a list of tradeoffs (because we are distributed, we have these problems. 1GB datasets will require optimizations around ingestion, etc).

Without all of this, all I see is two years of vaporware and a few developers spending investor money hacking on pet projects.

Trashing Tumblr: Fred Wilson Labeling Scott Galloway as “Trumpiness”
Let's say you come up with a great idea, a universal cure for cancer, but it requires growing human stem cells in a lab and you're against that for religious reasons, so you patent it and make sure nobody ever uses it. There are a few issues here. First, you definitely didn't come up with that idea from nothing. You "stood on the shoulders of giants" and profited from thousands of years of scientific development. You almost certainly collaborated with lots of other people who might not have shared your personal values and contributed just as much or more than you did to its development. You happened to be the person who connected the final piece. Just how much control should that give you over the use of the idea? Some people would say it's hard to justify your absolute control over the use of that idea.
I would definitely ask them to elaborate on the communcations issues.

I would also ask how they're currently handling three teams on three continents - if you as a manager are supposed to deal with all three teams and at least one of them is "needy", I wouldn't be surprised if the communications issue is that the current manager is speaking in tongues because he hasn't had more than an hour's worth of sleep a night for the past year...

One nefarious method malware could use to get data off the device without RF would be to play sub 20kHz audio through the speakers, assuming there was a device with a microphone near by that's able to receive the signal, and of course that the speakers can play a frequency that low.

Along the same lines, but only successful if the user isn't looking, would be to use the flashlight LED.

Or maybe very short low power vibrations, if the receiving microphone is on the same surface.

All of these require somewhat particular situations, but fun to think about in any case :)
