Well, it used to be called global warming, and now it´s called climate change - did you ever wonder why?

The truly catastrophic climate change - human extinction - outcome is the runaway greenhouse scenario. That´s been floated, but it runs into the evidence that the earth has been considerably warmer before (both poles melted) without that happening. But I suspect it will get another look after this year.

The slightly less catastrophic climate change outcome is the next ice age being triggered. We know what causes them, but there´s a fair amount of variance as to when, and we don´t know what the exact trigger is. The next ice age though, isn´t a catastrophe everywhere, in particular there´s a lot of reasons to believe India benefits for example.

A general warming accompanied by a significant sea level rise is a catastrophe for Bangladesh (most of which is below 10metres above sea level), the Pacific Atolls, India, South America and Africa (heat extremes) extremely expensive for the USA, and Europe, and good news for Scandinavia, Canada and Russia.

However, the general tone of the climate change debate for the last couple of decades, is not such that it would encourage a nuanced debate about the possibility that it could go either way. Nor is the planet really ready for a reasoned debate between its two hemispheres as to which outcome would be preferable, and for whom. However, the rise this year though has even the alarmists scared - especially with the suspicion that it´s entirely probable that there´s been a tendency for scientists to favour the less extreme predictions when modelling the problem, and even those have been bad enough.

To me, the issue started when college became about securing a career over expanding / exploring intellectual horizons.

The result of this transition incentivizes the wrong output: instead of kids coming out of college able to freely think for themselves, now they come out begging for direction.
You should never hope for less freedom of movement. You can never know what lies ahead in the future of your country, and the freedom to move elsewhere could be your only option to protect your safety and inalienable rights.
The problem is the credit. The state underwrites all loans so more people go to uni. It reaches a critical mass where all employees start demanding a degree before you can even speak to them. At this point would-be-graduates know degrees are often not worth it but they become a toll tax. You have to pay for the degree or you can't play.

Really I don't blame young people for this. There are too many degrees and too much money is being created to pay for them. The state loves this, it creates lots of money and it ties people into debt which seems to be the entire aim of western states now as they want to work people hard all the time. If you attain financial independence through non-debt you might decide not to work 40 hours a week. Then the establishment can't cream off your labour, and they hate that.

> dict size: 18 length: 10

I'm assuming "dict size" is the count of possible characters (see how it's 10 for the previous example). For the second example a dict size of 18 presumes the attacker is generating passwords with only those 18 characters that are used. It's true that the first example would be about 1.4 orders of magnitude slower to crack than the second. In the only digits case a cracker would try only digits because passwords with only digits are somewhat common (not usually that long though) and quick to check to fairly large length. But in the second example why would someone brute-forcing a password only try those exact characters?

Now I want to check my passwords list to see how many fit this profile of only having those 18 characters. Then see what character sets are most common overall (I already have a script to calculate the most common masks are (using the oclhashcat definition of a character mask)), but I never thought sets of individual characters would be that useful.

Making sure you have unpredictable upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols with a not unreasonable length of 14 would force an 8 GTX 1080 rig (about $5200 US for just the video cards) to take 386 thousand years to crack on average assuming MD5 for the hash function.

"...chronicle nine hours of terror that prevented an explosion 600 times more powerful than Hiroshima."

I'm calling out the film's makers on that statement. I challenge anyone to describe a situation whereby an ICBM with a leaky first stage could ever detonate the warhead in a manner resulting in such an explosion. These things don't go off when you drop them. They don't go off when you set them on fire. They don't go off when you surround them with explosives. Getting a thermonuclear weapon to detonate requires hundreds of things to happen in a precise manner. That cannot happen by accident.

Deusu's crawl servers are located at https://www.hosteurope.de/en/Server/Root-Server/ while the website points to his home broadband ISP. Two servers at his specs would be 200 Euro/month total, with 5x more bandwidth than he currently uses. I'd say that's much cheaper that AWS. Of course crawl companies charge more: they run a business, pay system administrators, have more backup and redundancy.
Introducing the Airbnb iMessage App
PHP has garbage collection now, so it's a lot harder to cause a memory leak. Before PHP 5.3.0, cyclical references were one of the biggest causes of memory leaks.

However, you can still create memory leaks just like you could in Ruby - dynamic allocation in a c extension that isn't freed up (like in this story), or creating objects that can't be garbage collected (like a slowing expanding array in a global variable).
I think it's fine to subsidize education through government programs.

Instead, remove the standard of requiring certain levels of education. Perhaps require industry-specific credentials that can be earned through exam or internship for most jobs. College should be about personal exploration over career preparation—at least in the bachelors level.

Students can complete credentials as part of their final semester Senior curriculum or on their own time.

The company’s Autopilot system is in active use, and in fact just got an update this past weekend that should vastly improve its performance and decrease the possibility that the car doesn’t brake when it should.

I am not gonna lie - that does not give me a lot of confidence in this system. "Oh, and by the way, it sometimes doesn't brake when it should." That quickly equals injury or even death with a car. You do not want to move fast and break things with your car.

You seem to have a chip on your shoulder - I said ancient philosophers, the list of names was not meant to be exhaustive, just a few, to give the reader an idea. Of course one would include Confucius, Buddha, etc in that list. A short post cannot be as precise as a dissertation.

Students are already exposed to too many radical ideas (supported by current political interests), which REPLACED the basics/foundations - that was my point.
I think there's not enough bandwidth for such information density. These usually work with 2D directional commands, you're driving the cursor up/down/left/right.

The external benefits are quite clear to me. That they are not clear to you suggests to me that nothing I write or say will change your mind. So what's the point of asking me to list them? Are you merely trying to see if I understand the concept of a external benefits or genuinely trying know what possible external benefit there could be with someone being provided a subsidized education? I think you can think of some.
PHP extensions in C are pretty rare since it's so hard to distribute them (outside a few exceptions that exist in common package management systems), so in that sense, I guess?

But no, a PHP extension in C can have a memory leak like any other C code. It's not at all uncommon actually, since there are fewer consequences; CGI mode PHP cleans up after every request, FastCGI mode PHP by default restarts workers after a number of requests because of the class of effects (unwanted state) that includes memory leaks.
I'm familiar with /r/conspiracy.

There's being open minded. And there's having your brain spilling out all over the pavement.

As with many circuses and freakshows, a very small exposure goes a long way. The stunning lack of critical thinking ability, and/or self-parodying circlejerk nature, get old quickly. Trying to decide which of those two it is might occupy you for a while.

We did a benchmark on Nutch and couldn't really pass the 10-14 M(B)ps on a $1200/month machine. Even though we hired a professional to optimize the setup. The same is roughly true about Heritrix.

What are the odds that it was put there at their request, or partially specified by them? After all, the clipper chip never went anywhere, but neither did the desire.
Agreed 100%:

1958 Mars Bluff B-47 nuclear weapon loss incident:
HE component detonated on impact. Warhead did not.

1956 Lakenheath B-47 accident
A USAF B-47 crashed into a storage igloo spreading burning fuel over three Mark 6 nuclear bombs at RAF Lakenheath.

... and so on. These things are built to sit in pools of burning fuel.

> He has implied that he possesses such material,

To the contrary, he has adamantly denied possessing any such material. I dont have the source, but in several video interviews he's said to protect himself from being apprehended by foreign intel agencies for a copy of the material, he simply doesnt have it. He's turned it all over to journalists.
I've read the book. The issue is not the trigger mechanisms/lack of security - we are talking about the durability of the warheads and accidental detonation.

Are you telling me Mc Gill or Oxford or Insead, for instance, are going to put their name on a crappy diploma where person is completely clueless? Come on!

Create a list of best ranked foreign universities and make an easy path for their graduates to come to USA / look for work / start families and and eventually naturalize if they want to.

USA should really use the opportunity where Europe and other parts of the world are unstable and they have a pool of good brains/talents looking to potentially escape those places.

Look at Russia for instance - they lost top brains in science in the late 80-90's due to instability in the country. Where are these guys today? Running science labs at universities/companies in USA/Europe and all over the world. Where is Russia today? Completely screwed and not able to replenish the talent pool. Do you think they do not wish today that they had paid their professors or grad students a bit more than 10$/month to keep them from leaving the country back in the 90's?

How would history develop if Sergei Brin's family was not allowed to get an entry visa to USA? (personally i do not think that google would exist today here or in russia).

The situation with immigration today is unprecedented. USA is given free golden ticket and it does not want to take it.

There is a very strong chance that this PR was "strongly encouraged" by Google in exchange for huge credits on the actual service. They've been hunting for larger customers they can use to advertise like they did with Spotify.
I've migrated completely to DEVONthink (Mac/iOS only, though). Sync databases are encrypted and they live on my own WebDAV server, so I can keep as many notes as I can squeeze into a dozen TB or so of available storage.

I don't begrudge Evernote their business model, but I'm much more comfortable with upfront software licensing than subscriptions. That's especially true when it means I no longer have to trust anyone else's terms of service when it comes to keeping my private stuff private.
> How would one repossess an education?

You can't.

> Isn't that the reason student loans are not dischargeable?

No.

First, student loans are, in fact, dischargeable, though there is a higher bar to discharging them. So expalanations of why they are not dischargeable are unnecessary (and necessarily incorrect.)

But, more to the point, unsecured loans in general are dischargeable without the heightened requirements that apply to student loans; not having something to repossess isn't a difference between student loans and other unsecured loans, so cannot explain the difference in treatment.
Show HN: Service level observability and analytics tool for DevOps/SREs
Netsil is a self-hosted product meant for API and microservices driven web-scale applications. We generate an auto-discovered, live topology of services and their interactions of cloud applications.

This enables DevOps/SREs to gain deep visibility into service health, set up SLA based alerting, and troubleshoot faster by being able to visually identify hotspots and performance choke-points.

Netsil is framework-agnostic because it does not require any change to application code - there is no code embedded agent.

We use a remote PCAP forwarder, or a local SSL proxy for encrypted traffic, to capture service interactions. API calls are reconstructed from network packets and service topology is built by grouping hosts/containers based on similarity of API end-points.

Netsil is available for free download for the following platforms - Docker Compose, Kubernetes, DC/OS, AWS and generic machine images.

Please try it here: http://netsil.com/download/

Look forward to your feedback.

> What I really want though, is proper commenting system under videos.

I'm curious to know what you mean by that?

As far as youtube comments being the butt-end of jokes about bad comments, I think this is just due to the fact that video is the great common denominator (and thus, the intellectual filter is very very low). Reddit's r/videos is limited to "non-political" videos for much the same reasons (and given that r/politicalvideos is... well, let's say the comment quality is not consistent.

I don't really see how this can be improved: a voting system won't filter low-effort/common denominator comments if what the majority wants is low effort comments.

Or just if the mass of low effort comments is too large. And since low effort is easy to make, the mass will be large.

Hipmunk has been an excellent flight search tool, the best I have found as of a few years ago. Shockingly better than most of the rest of them back when it started, in terms of being able to understand and choose among numerous choices.

Unfortunately, that was then and this is now. Several of the airlines have dropped out of participating in flight comparison sites, and those that do apparently pay staggeringly little per referral. This is greatly eroded the usefulness of Hipmunk and similar sites, and taken away the motivation for anyone to pressure airlines to participate. Why bother when the most you can win is a tiny sliver?

I wish there is a way to simply pay a little money to get a comprehensive high quality comparison of all available flights from all airlines. I don't want AI, I don't want a travel agent to do it for me. I most definitely don't want to visit multiple airline websites and try to manually compare the offerings. I just want to see all of the different ways to get from point A to point B, in a well engineered graphical representation, all at once so I can quickly and effectively choose the best fit. I would love if there was a way to simply pay some dollars to do so.
As a companion article to this one, read "The Net Is a Waste of Time" written by William Gibson in 1996 (http://www.nytimes.com/1996/07/14/magazine/the-net-is-a-wast...). It celebrates what Gibson thinks is the moment of peak "cyberflânerie".

Facebook's interests in Israel are independent of religious considerations, that is, if FB wants to do business there, it needs to be responsive to government requirements. I assume that applies to any similar business operating in that environment ownership notwithstanding.

I imagine Randi Zuckerberg's attachment to Israel might increase FB's desire to be in that market, but that's a side issue. I can't see how that affects the business relationship with the government at all. Seems quite clear the government's priority is security, religion or censorship are not the motivation for the actions taken.
> The argument against this could be that due to the unsecured nature of the six-figure (potentially) debt the free market rates will be insane effectively reducing access to higher ed for those who can't afford it without the loans.

Given that federal loans have always had rates set by government policy (not market rates) and the fact that private participation in the program was ended in favor of exclusively direct loans in 2010, I'm not sure what the concern for "market rates" is -- there is no market involved.
Are you telling me that there is just this single person in the entire multi billion dollar company that could make this kind of decision without top execs knowledge that screws up the whole business operation and that there are no checks and balances in place?
