Where did I say anything about the 2nd amendment?

"We the people" have no right to know who own the guns, and if the police infact when armed "to the teeth" door to do looking for any object, gun or not, then any vestiges of a free society will have long been abolished.

I desire liberty above all else, I do not derive this belief in liberty from the Constitution or any other document, I derive my liberty from the Philosophy of liberty which itself is based in the Principle of self ownership. These beliefs transcend the constitution.

It is sad you are willing to give up essential liberty for perceived protection by the government, who will ultimately take your liberty but never provide you with protection.

>>>>Being a registered gun owner does not endanger you in any significant way.

Actually it does, in a large number of ways. However that is also not relevant, even if there was no danger I would still oppose such a registration, as you have no right to require me to submit to such a registry.

Anyone the respects individual liberty, and freedom will agree.
> the world at large is quite different from the rigid boolean-logic computer systems you're interacting with on a daily basis.

This rhetoric is patronizing and doesn't contribute to the conversation.
One day I hope to live in a world where every single person in the world can live in Malibu year round...

Unfortunately, the world isn't making new land. It's a reality of life that we live in a world of scarcity.
> You're only locked in if your personal requirements mandate the smallest lithography process and the highest clock speed.

I'm pretty sure POWER still fulfills requirements for "highest clock speed", not x86/x64. That might be based on outdated information, though; I just recall POWER being the first to hit 5GHz CPU clock speeds even in spite of IBM's lithographic processes lagging behind Intel's.
I can confirm this. It's one of the most impressive museums I've ever been to.
Apart from Jetbrains, I've used all the other tools you mention.

In no way, shape or form would I sayd that Bamboo is good.

It is not any more sufferable than Jenkins. Even Jenkins now alows the build / deploy pipeline to be something stored in a VCS.
Yes, mechanically. You put something in the barrel that would shatter the 'bullet' should the explosives go off. Detonation then occurs only if the safety is moved prior to explosion. Then, as another measure, you can rig that mechanical safety mechanism to snap back in place in cases of external fire (ie some part is designed to melt and swing it back in place).

Pretty amazing to find flights to Europe from LAX for under $500 for many destinations in Europe and Asia. Sub-$400 for some destinations too
It does say the local people knew about the ships at the time.

That can't be strictly true, otherwise we wouldn't be able to extract energy from the tides. What am I missing?
As of 8:20EST he has sold 17 logos for a total of $5560. Calculated at $40 a logo until $400 per logo, then $20 a logo.
Our main proxies (that do the majority of the heavy lifting over here) run nginx and use, what, 50MB tops? If even? I throw them on $5/mo VPS instances and they just blast out IO without any problems.

But nginx was carefully written in C over the course of many years, with a general goal of hauling IO and static data around from other systems. Which is all you really need for web pages, in the end. Solved one thing and holy crap they did it well.

It's the business logic side of the web development world where things get nasty. The tradeoff is you get a giant chest of libraries for solving any stupid problem you want. I didn't have to for example figure out how to do IDN encoding for domain validation. You throw enough of that crap together in a single process and things start to get nasty. But how long would I have spent carefully writing all of it in C? Let's just say I'd be out looking for another job.

Worth the tradeoff, IMHO, but I think with projects like Crystal (https://crystal-lang.org) in the future we will discover we can get pretty close to both in the end. That combined with Moore's law and I think we'll be good to go.

Assuming, of course, that cloud providers don't artificially restrict available RAM through economic constraint (know the true costs - demand better!).
As someone who hasn't read the book or heard about the incident for that matter, I thought it was an interesting trailer. I certainly want to see the film now.

Does this mean Hipmunk (the site) will eventually be going away?
Yes, it's geohot's company but I don't think it lends it anymore credibility. Hacking is very different from building a viable product.

Moreover, some of his comments make me distrust his judgement. Just from a CNN article this year:

> "For awhile, I thought it was going to be incredibly difficult to contribute," he said. In January 2015, he started working as a researcher at Vicarious, a company that's building artificial intelligence algorithms. "I started reading all the papers. I thought, 'This stuff isn't that hard. This isn't ultra sophisticated. This is basic,'" he said. Moreover, "the mistakes people are making are basic."

> "I started to look around at the other players. These people are noobs," he said.

Congrats Hipmunk homies!
Is it really? What happens if you don't pay your taxes? Eventually you will be arrested. What if you resist arrest? Do the police ask you to come along nicely with an Especially Firm Voice the second time? Eventually, someone will deploy state-sanctioned violence in this situation.

Stop whistling past the grave yard. That is how government works. They have guns, and prefer that you don't, just in case you get all argumentative and pouty.
Taken out of context, your statement is true. In context, your relativist position isn't applicable. In this case, this is a renowned cryptologist making some assertions. My complaint was that this article is good, but given the author's track record, I want more evidence. I don't think that's unreasonable.
what a shame... I've always loved Hipmunk and its "sort by agony" filter. I have to use Concur at work and I think it's pretty rubbish.

So because every immigrant isn't Einstein, we should have no immigrants?

Their point was that much of the talent that helped build the U.S. were skilled immigrants. Likewise, nearly 1/5 of all Fortune 500 companies in the U.S. are founded by immigrants: http://www.forbes.com/sites/stuartanderson/2011/06/19/40-per...

Also, your anecdotal evidence is contrary to my experience with H1B co-workers.

Perhaps I'm in the minority but I have actually setup my home system to use SSO (backed via LDAP).

It annoys me no end that all these services seem to think that charging to maintain my userbase is a way to get me to think they care.

What it means is it invariably the SSO support is barely tested and poorly documented. For a number of products, I've tried out the "enterprise" version and realised that their features (e.g. SSO, audit, etc.) are just not useful.

Largely because there are not enough people looking at the thing or attempting to use it.
Congrats to the Hipmunk team! I've been using Hipmunk since the beginning, and have found it to be a pleasant way to search for flights. They obviously care a lot about creating a good experience for the customer, which is a lot more than I can say about the big travel sites.

I hope that the team had a nice exit, and that they continue to develop Hipmunk within Concur.
Censorship and demonetisation on YouTube seems to be happening to people fairly regularly, and without appeal, via poorly calibrated algorithms, corporate pressure and to satisfy mobs of complaining people for various reasons. The rules seem to be vague to the point of meaninglessness and it seems even the stars of the platform who often share managers and production companies with other stars have difficulty getting in touch with YouTube to resolve issues.

I think most content producers have wised up to this and diversify their audience over multiple platforms. If you rely on the income putting all your eggs in the YouTube basket is a massive risk until they clean up their processes (there are many automated and social methods to do some of this but they seem completely uninterested in doing it).
What is the incentive for airlines who don't offer bargain-basement flights to participate?
I'm not sure why it has to be forgiveness. They should be be able to file for bankruptcy just the same as if it was some other bad investment. All investments should come with risks and rewards and be "priced" appropriately.

This will have a drastic affect on the interest rate of student loans, but perhaps a turn towards normal will be good for us. As of right now the government gaurantees it 100% -- which is to say YOU guarantee it!
Being able to charge higher tuition due to government-subsidized loans IS a subsidy from the government, by definition. The government paying the resulting debt would be a further subsidy.
Been following this for a few years... more than tame foxes, they killed every fox that didn't carry the specific traits they wanted.

Neoliberal bullshit will continue to march on because the public has largely accepted it while not even knowing it exists. It doesn't help that both major parties in the U.S have neoliberalism as their policy starting points.

It's been a brilliant bit of marketing to be able to dress inefficient privatization as freedom and choice. It's a built in political defense. Anyone who opposes objectively failed policies are enemies of freedom and capitalism.
> This is the case of your parents and grandparents, your government, the schools, the newspapers, etc. all effectively telling you that it's a good idea to invest in education.

I'm pretty sure that absolutely no one anywhere tells their kid, go to Columbia University, live full time in Manhattan, take an extra three years to finish your bachelors, study pottery making, live entirely off of student loans. Aim for at least $400,000 in debt when you finish.

No one ever says that. Ever.

(As a random data point, the average student debt in 2015 was $35,000. That doesn't seem like an insurmountable bill.)

If you restrict the pool of talent that you draw upon, you're limiting your supply of skilled labor and thus become less competitive.
I don't really get to term myself an environmentalist at all, because I'm absolutely in favor of a "stewardship" model of using the earth's resources- meaning, in this case, that if we see fit to set the equilibrium point to some other level, then we should do so guiltlessly- however, my major concern is that we haven't successfully managed to create long-term viable ecologies via planning yet. We don't understand the many complexities associated with organisms yet -we understand a LOT, but there is a LOT MORE to understand before we can replicate nature through artifice!

Under that view, things like biodiversity are valuable because they contribute to systemic stability - we can exterminate a species if we need to, nobody has to give us any further 'right' to do so (as in a typical attidue, "What gives you the right to play God with Nature?!")- but it is wise to take a preservationist attitude until we have a proven track record of creating long-term, moderately stable ecological systems - until we can replicate our 'Starship Earth,' we'd do well to keep from destroying it! In other words, at least for me, the currently preferred equilibrium point is one that maintains a semblance of the historical ecology's relative balance, because that's the kind of point where I and my descendants get to not go extinct, and once we can reliably replicate and control such ecologies, it won't matter much anymore, we'll be in a position to choose what happens to which things - right now is the tender point where can destroy naturally developed situations, but cannot reliably replicate them.
I agree with everything you said.

My comment was juxtaposing it with the accuracy of Schneier's blog and his public statements on computer security.
>> They are sworn (like all public employees) to protect the Constitution

Sorry no.

Federal Law Enforcement, Military, and Elected officials maybe. Probably some other Federal Employees

But there is no requirement, nor do many local police dept, require any oath at all, and I can not think of any off the top of my head that have a oath to the Constitution in their ceremony.
Even if they were not able to get a college education, their kids might. Also people who benefit the most for college will pay more. The productivity that society gains as a whole will offset the costs.
I got a 2-year degree from a community college and then went to a cheaper university for CS. I would recommend it, especially if your grades are not the best or you don't have a ton of money.

My wife, on the other hand, is in another boat. She is studying vet med and has a pile of debt, and will likely be paying off her loans for most of her career.
The thing is that both of those scenarios are things judges can be expected to understand perfectly well, and have some clue how to approach evaluating the claim, and also, in both cases, there generally is a reasonable risk that any such attempts leave some form of evidence, deterring people from even trying it.

With a smartcard, there is nothing of that sort. It's just a bunch of electronic numbers and "the blackbox says you signed it!", there isn't really anything there to investigate, plus judges can in general be expected to not have even the slightest clue how to evaluate claims about IT security, so more than likely you'll end up with a situation where judges simply accept the government-mandated assumption that what the blackbox says is to be trusted.

It's the same fundamental problem as with electronic elections: The actual process is necessarily completely removed from human perception/observation, and therefore ultimately must be trusted blindly if it's not to be rejected outright.

It would be a nice white paper to compare the development, release, IP, infrastructure and branding processes of the Linux Foundation vs. Apache vs. Eclipse.

I pick these three as they are foundations that have been long lasting and have proven an ability to retain member companies and a diverse set of projects.

The comparison would take a lot of effort to do but be worthwhile. You need to compare details as minute as around how web sites are hosted, how products are named, trademarking + copyright issues, provenance and IP policies around releases, mentorship, maintenance --- even things as formal as how issues are created, pull requests established, and how projects are organized among the committers.

The foundations can derive policy and rules at any level - and there is a significant variance depending upon the underlying charter of what the foundation is trying to promote. So the best place to start is the bylaws of each foundation, which are open source themselves, to understand the underlying motivation. Nearly all choices are made from the underlying principles.

Interestingly, the Eclipse Foundation is one of the larger revenue organizations from member contributions, but they do not have that many projects - maybe 300 or so. The IP provenance requirements are so stringent that many smaller projects turn away because they do not desire such a level of review. So the Eclipse Foundation is about to introduce a dual IP mode where projects can self-certify their IP provenance. The entire process around releases will be different can instead of taking weeks to make a release, could be done nearly instantaneously, allowing many projects that have a small group or open source license to become a project of the foundation, if that was a desire.

The spending isn't necessarily the same. Here's a hypothesis: people who aren't well off will buy stuff they need and therefore spend money more readily than banks that will only spend on fairly safe, profitable investments. There are lots of investors looking for safe investments and this seems more supply-limited than demand-limited (yields are low due to competition).

Of course you'd need a real economist to do a study to find out if that's actually true.

Interesting that they're talking about California driving. In an episode of Bloomberg's Hello World I saw recently, Hotz actually demonstrated his self driving car in Nevada. They mentioned that the state of California asked him to stop driving on the public roads.

Regulations ahoy!
Honestly, it's not really surprising. Emulators, and, more broadly, video games in general, tend to not give little to any thought about security.

To be fair, exploiting games and emulators directly aren't a particularly common attack vector. I've never heard of any wild malware that attempted to exec itself via a (legit) emulator, although IIRC arbitrary code exec on clients had popped up a few times in the wild on older multiplayer games (mostly CoD and various Source multiplayer games). Most of the "malware" stuff related to emulators I've heard of are cheap tricks (e.g. tainted emulator binaries on shady websites, EXE files deceptively labeled as ROMs) and not any fancy exploits.
You're right, I misspoke. The Federal Reserve, through its mandate to obtain full employment conditions, creates inflation as a side effect.

Presumably, the Fed will send new money to Treasury for this, which will actually inflate the currency just a wee smidgen ( and in an economy in which the Fed's growth targets go chronically unmet this is no sin - quite the opposite).

Otherwise...

While there is an element of truth to that, see "the marginal value of a dollar". You "spend" your ten millionth dollar quite differently than you spend your ten thousandth.

Some of these guys for whom money is simply a means of keeping score won't change their consumption patterns much no matter what.

If you want to increase velocity, the way to do it is cause more cash to be in the hands of broke people.
What advantages would you see your Python implementation having over Tcl or Lua which were designed with this area in mind?

Python is a much more popular language than Tcl or Lua. Embedding Python opens your application to scripting by many more people, because the average person wanting to write a script is more likely to be familiar with it. Even those familiar with multiple languages may prefer to use Python - Tcl and Lua are often considered to be slightly "quirky" languages.

Also, although an embedded Python interpreter is never going to run C libraries like NumPy, there are many pure-Python libraries out there which would potentially be available for scripts to use.

Can Gitlab CI do manual triggers yet? (Drone can't, last time I checked, and that was a huge turnoff)

The "code" in this case really lives in the Jenkins database, as it's a shell snippet. Admittedly I'm not a fan of this. However, since you're a FOSS company as well, you may have hit the case where you want to separate the code for your infrastructure from the code you're releasing in the general repository, but still build off master.

This is where Jenkins' model is quite good. I strongly dislike that it's so hard for Jenkins' metadata to be versioned in proper git repositories, but the separation of the actual code, and the CI-related code is great.
> The phase is important because tidal forces are the sum of forces from both the Sun and the Moon. When the Moon is full, that is because the Moon is directly opposite the Sun. When the Moon is new, that is because it is directly in front of the Sun.
This causes minimums and maximums in the tidal forces on the Earth.

More pedantically, both those phases cause a spring tide (max tidal range). A neap tide (min tidal range) is when the sun and the moon are at right angles to the earth.
Just to clarify, there are 13 "logical" root server but each one can be implemented by multiple servers. For example, L is implemented by 157 spread across the globe (see http://l.root-servers.org/ ). Many of the others are similarly redundant and distributed.
