Why don't studios have their own similar sites where they
allow free torrents of some shows and offer paid torrents.

As a busy person, I'd much rather pay for something which guarantees:

- high quality
- no subtitles
- no buffering issues
- no viruses
- click and play
>>Speculation - would Ukraine get attacked last year if it was a full NATO member?

It would have already been attacked before that. That's actually why Ukraine was attacked in fact. Putin doesn't want NATO expanding up to Russia's doorstep.

I understand the Russian concern about NATO expansion even if I don't agree with their direct aggression.
Well, Americans have been saying that about drug war, civil forfeiture, surveillance and many others things for a long long time.
> car2go’s services are also a way of exposing potential future car-buyers to Daimler’s automotive products.

That confirms my long-standing tin-foil hat theory about car2go: it's just an advertising venture disguised as a car sharing service. It doesn't have to make money, just cost less than they would spend on advertising and put smartcars all over major cities.

We recently got a locally owned car sharing service, and I choose it first whenever possible.
Nobody will tell you that they vinyl is technically better, but that it sounds subjectively better for them.

They will tell you that sounds better(for them). It is not imagination, it is taste.

Lots of artist and people that love old music(like Beatles) prefer vinyl because it was the medium for what it was created. I understand them, they have a point.

If I play Sonic the Hedgehog or original Mario on an emulator and a digital TV I see pixels that were not there on fuzzy old screens.

That's a ZFS-in-general complaint, not a ZFS-on-Linux complaint.

However, it's worth mentioning most (all?) filesystems drop sharply in performance as it nears capacity.

> If it had succeeded, they would have got a military dictatorship.

That's not a given. Turkey's military has staged quite a few coups over the years and that's really part of their purpose in the Turkish government order. After a few years power usually transitions back to normal democratic elections.
A day later, and those same academics are now barred from traveling out of Turkey. Thoughts?
I absolutely LOVE the car2go service. Cheaper than Uber, more flexible and the cars are seemingly everywhere. I prefer to bike/walk most places, but it's sure nice to have the option when needed, without the burden of ownership... and paying for/worrying about parking.

Can vouch for this. I was very surprised when, after many years of bicycling, I went to motorcycle school and they taught us this principle. It was insanely cool that it worked.

In your FAQ it says:

Just pointing out a potential syntax error. Otherwise if it's meant to say mailparser better explain what that is.

Just came here to ask what do you guys' think about centralized health care records?

It seems impossible to prevent these kinds of "stupid" mistakes from happening.

My doctor still works mostly on a paper based system, so in the worst kind of situation just his patients data are lost.

Are there any alternatives that prevent those kinds of leaks - esp. considering that even the NSA got out-Snowdened.
" unlawfully distributing well over $1 billion of copyrighted materials.”

bullshit of course. He simply hosted hashes of torrents that other people uploaded.

As far as I know he even acknowledged dcma takedowns.
That would explain why I couldn't figure out how to use it on mobile.
I suspect it's a little bit of that, and also a little bit of... well you know what that song says the Internet is for.
I'm new to web app development as well. I've a background of system development and mobile app development. Choosing backend development was one of the things I spent some of time on. One of the first things I tried was to build simple rest api backend using Java on google app engine. Then used Django Python frame work. Then nodejs with express.

Then coming to frontend - I had some idea of JavaScript and jQuery. After trying angular and react - I picked angular since its a ready mv* framework and its concept like two way binding, modules, dependency injection seemed intuitive to me.
After trailing two sides - I decided to go with MEAN stack. Primary reason was its in one language. No context switching of language, IDE etc. I think it has been good decision since.

Having said that :
angular entices one in beginning but has a learning curve but then it's a ready mv* framework. for somebody new its not bad to start and understand how it is done by something which is ready. (Search angularjs architecture in Google images - a architecture picture worth a lot of documentation)

Nodejs programming style is async. One needs to get used to it. Npm repo is great community and package called 'async' is really helpful to get good grip on nodejs. And the idea of async IO is way efficient is something I've experienced in writing network libs but rather painfully. So I was sold to pick nodejs which is async by design.

Given another chance I would look at other front end framework since I kind of get primary ideas of frontend framework now.

IDE - atom is good. webstorm has code navigation and automatic drop down of functions for nodepackages. Hence I am on it.

Grunt for test, build automation. Mocha chai.. for tests.
I agree... This is just a temporary thing for sure. NATO isn't too happy with the outcome of this, so I presume that something is going to come of that.
Bureaucracy wants to live forever as technocracy. And maybe the ones selling genetically modified food and intra-flesh GPS want to make it more acceptable.
CreamCam 3.00 now supports video on newer iOS devices!
For curation, there are tons of websites that rate and review apps. Some even only ever do that -- they are specialized iOS app curation websites, and multiple at that, plus they have direct links to the App Store so you can buy in 2 clicks tops.

So while it would be nice to have, I don't see anything special in having Apple curate the app store themselves.
Google's cached versions of SO answers are generally up to date, no? Nice try, lazy developers!
For those who might like to see this concept explored more fully, I highly recommend Greg Egan's Permutation City [0].

To quote: “Paul struggled to imagine the outside world on his own terms, but it was almost impossible. Not only was he scattered across the globe, but widely separated machines were simultaneously computing different moments of his subjective time frame. Was the distance from Tokyo to New York now the length of his corpus callosum? Had the world shrunk to the size of his skull – and vanished from time altogether, except for the fifty computers which contributed at any one time to what he called ‘the present’?”

There's a whole lot of existing countries between Turkey (even Turkey today) and North Korea.
I just can't wrap my head around the fact that it can happen like this, wide in the open with everyone watching. Before the coup I was already amazed that I heard news about he taking over a critic newspaper and the next day publishing pro Erdogan propaganda, it's just beyond belief what is happening.

>Personally, I'd hope Apple would keep only the five or ten best-of-breed apps in each category; the apps that best showcase Apple's tech and UI.

So, basically keep, e.g. 100 categories * 10 apps, like 1000 apps, kill the other 1499000 apps, and alienate millions of people and especially all those programmers...
Like what? They will give lip service to political freedom, but won't kick out their most important member. Erdogan can carry out a holocaust, and NATO would prefer it over seeing him on team Russia.
Compared to the widespread sweeps that have been going on in Turkey post-coup attempt I'm confused about why these two cases are of particular note? What am I missing here?
Can anyone tell me why this article got flagged on HN????
It can't be a very effective strategy. From the next line of the article:

> Given Smart cars’ somewhat dismal U.S. sales records, it seems unlikely that legions of former car2go members will one day clamor to put Fortwos of their own in their garages.

I use car2go all the time and I can attest that the Smart FourTwo is total garbage. It's the worst car I've ever driven.

That being said, while I'd never buy a FourTwo, the car2go service is great. Driving a terrible car for a few minutes for some errand that requires a car is no big deal.
Turkey doesn't want to be on the wrong side of NATO if it's in a territory dispute with Greece, Bulgaria, Cyprus, or even over Armenia although it isn't NATO.

Refugee handling is an EU problem, not really NATO. While there's substantial overlap, the US isn't going to negotiate with that in mind. And there's nothing stopping the EU from continuing to cut a refugee-handling-for-money deal if Turkey exits NATO.

Airbases can still be leased, although it would depend on how badly relations deteriorated.

I think Turkeys biggest fear would be that NATO members stop quietly ignoring Turkey's bombing of PKK bases inside Iraqi Kurdistan and Syria. If Turkey wasn't in NATO, there's nothing stopping the US or others from giving various Kurdish groups weaponry which could threaten Turkey's air superiority (AA missiles, not jets). This would make Turkey's war against the PKK internally a lot more difficult.

So, I do think Turkey will recognize that it will suffer greatly outside NATO, and will take at least basic steps to preserve membership. But we'll see.
>and it's important to know in order to stay safe?

I disagree with that. Before someone learns to turn a cycle, motorized or not, they have to learn to not fall over. So we tell them that they have to turn towards the direction they are falling. Once they master not falling then in practice there is nothing more to teach. They can easily generalize to adjusting the bike to any lean angle because the required motion of the handlebars is exactly the same. If we don't tell them about countersteering they will have no idea they are doing something different for steep turns vs shallow turns. They just have to establish a greater angle sometimes.

Back in the day prospective pilots were taught by having someone show them how to move the controls for each possible manoeuvre. These days the prospective pilot is first taught what the effects of the controls are. After that they are entirely responsible for achieving the required aircraft attitude using that knowledge. They are told to roll the aircraft to turn. They are not told that they have move the stick to the right for a while and then centre it even though that is something that would not produce a continuous turn in a car.

Consciousness wants to live forever because it can't conceive of a world in which it doesn't exist - the thought is unthinkable and the idea is frightening.

That wouldn't prevent them from denoting booleans with special characters (which they already do with other functions--see https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2466433?hl=en), or having some kind of "advanced" interface. As far as I've been able to tell, boolean searches have been entirely removed from Google's public-facing search. There was no need to do that.
Accuracy still seems to leave a fair bit to be desired. For example, when parsing "Blue, Brown, Orange, Green and Red Lines were running normally" from this news article [1], "Blue" was interpreted as the color [2], "Brown" was interpreted as the Brown Bears football team [3], "Orange" was interpreted as the Orange Line Washington (not Chicago) Metro [4], "Green" was interpreted as "environmentally friendly" [5], and "Red lines" was interpreted as the organization (but without a Wikipedia page).

Works pretty well on places, though.

> Anyone want to take bets how long until NATO will revoke Turkey's membership?

I'll take your bet. It's a trick question because Greece was not expelled from NATO when it was under a military dictatorship, and so I am sure Turkey would not be either.

Between negative comments about Google's service lifecycle, choice of font/colors on a page and general nitpicking of every little detail on a linked page or someone's comment I'm getting fed up. It's gratuitously negative and repetitive to see this kind of stuff every day. If I wanted that kind of negativity and snideness I'd be using reddit.

Maybe some kind of "meta" comment section is the solution so we can have discussions about or derived from the content in one section and the folks that want to bash the company/person/font/colors/title/grammar/credentials/etc. can use the other.

I started journaling in high school and found a very effective medium for it: a dedicated gmail account.

I created a new account only for this, and periodically send emails from that account to itself, each email representing a day and having a subject line of the form "July 20, 2016".

Since the account has never been used in any other way, the inbox becomes a pure index of dates, and the account receives no other messages because no person or service is aware it exists besides me.

Advantages:

--nobody can find it lying around
--inherently passworded
--nobody can ever even know it exists unless I tell them
--indexed, searchable.....can't tell you how wonderful it is to be able to type in a person's name and find the day I met them, years and years later.
--never gets damaged or lost: it'll go down when gmail dies. not anytime soon.
--infinite "pages"
--accessible from anywhere

It's been wonderfully rewarding. It isn't until you start keeping a journal, and have had it for quite some time, that you start to realize just how much of your life you forget. As soon as you reread something from a certain day, you might think, "Wow! I totally forgot about that!" but now the memory is reawakened, fresh as yesterday. The memory was still there, hibernating. It might have been lost if you hadn't dusted it off.

But then there are many other memories, from 7 and 8 and 9 years ago, the small day-to-day interactions, the smaller subplots in the greater storyline....that may as well be from someone else's life. I know the places and people they're describing, but I have no memory of having done these things anymore. It's a little sad in a way.

I'm glad I keep a journal. 10/10 recommend even if you only update occasionally.
One pixel is worth three thousand words
To be more specific, IE (and most browsers on Windows, actually) use alternate streams to record that the file originates from the network, in a certain standardized way. When such a file is an executable file, and the user attempts to launch it (via Explorer; I don't think this happens for command line), they will get a confirmation dialog from the OS telling them that it's unsafe.

Other applications can perform similar checks on file formats that they handle, if the payload can be dangerous when untrusted. E.g. Visual Studio will give you a warning if you're trying to open a project file with this bit set.

It may be worth the efforts, but back in 2010, it (kind of) wasn't because of the existence of "international copy" rule. As a community college student, selling top books for top programs for top 100 Universities in USA; I sold over 100 books a day without knowing that law existed but found out about it when paypal blocked my payment of over $8k (last batch or two) for more than 6 months. From the great experience of helping top students to buy books for less (in many cases less than chegg.com) than to get stuck with your money.

If I were you now, I would definitely hire a legal freelancer (spend $50-$100) just to confirm to double check and then start. There are tons of re-publishers in China, just a google search away.

What's the point of being a dictator? I sometimes think of really cool stuff one should do and think: "Well you would have to be a dictator to do that.". Maybe I am indoctrinated in Western propaganda but off the top of my had I cannot come up with a cause that is worthwhile enough to pursue if you consider the negative consequences of a dictatorship.

Maybe AI, space stuff or immortality - essentially the same thing. First of all I think these are overrated. The fun thing about these is the thought that "holy fuck we will actually do it!!". When it is there it will be like commercial aviation.

And even if you truly want to accomplish them by all means, the best strategy I can come up with is a) get the best of the best and b) throw all your money at them. If you perform a Gleichschaltung it will definitely harm your ability to throw money. So my dictatorship would consist mostly of cost cutting, economic incentives, educational reforms, reducing administration costs - essentially what every government claims to try anyway.

Do you have continuity of thought before and after you undergo general anesthesia?

Perhaps, perhaps not - but it does remove any uncertainty, doesn't it? At least with general anesthesia we can say that there is continuity of process and form; with 'digital afterlife', we don't even have that - you've been extinguished and your electronic doppleganger lives happily ever after. 'Digital afterlife' resolves any epistemelogical ambiguity but not in a happy way - it isn't you - we know that.

Seems like a pretty lousy afterlife. I'd rather just be remembered.

I don't think jumping to the conclusion that Erdogan could carry out a holocaust and come out unscathed by NATO is a logical assertion. At some point, another nation will intervene, because Turkey is a fairly major portion of infrastructure in the world. I'm not an expert, or even amazing with politics, so I could be completely wrong, but I accept that. (To each their own opinion, right?)
I am flagging down all Turkey related threads these days. I don't see how political debates about the failed coup is a subject to be discussed on HN.
Unfortunately, transactional NTFS is being deprecated. MSDN says:

"Microsoft strongly recommends developers utilize alternative means to achieve your application’s needs. Many scenarios that TxF was developed for can be achieved through simpler and more readily available techniques. Furthermore, TxF may not be available in future versions of Microsoft Windows."

Which is a shame, because, conceptually speaking, a true transactional filesystem with snapshot semantics makes some things so much easier.

The Curry-Howard correspondence does not apply here though. The coloring theorem is not encoded in the type of the program that enumerates and checks the possible colorings. The program itself is a restatement of the coloring theorem, with the result type being boolean (all the enumerated colorings satisfy the property, or not). So the proof would consist of proving that the program must terminate with a true value. Of course that is not actually useful as it does not simplify anything.

This is a simple mechanization of the proof steps, on par with using a calculator for arithmetic.
