They tried this in the fifties too with the out-harbour communities in Newfoundland like Fogo. Many communities disappeared but Fogo and others stayed and developed something called the Fogo Process.

It's sad really. The Marconi Tower is there. Some of the earliest settlements in North America were founded in Newfoundland. It's one of the most beautiful places on Earth to boot.

If you visit you can still find traces of the abandoned communities. Most would just float their houses towards the main island. Some were left behind. It makes for an interesting hike.

Some people out there love it. Generations going back to the 1700's have made their life on those islands. I think some portion of the population will refuse no matter how much is offered.

It only matters if it affects how people interact with Yahoo's business or if it results in fines or lawsuits. Since it probably won't do any of these, it does make sense that it doesn't affect their share price.
The couple in your stock photo looks really enthusiastic about searching for their compromised accounts.
here's an alternative interpretation: Due to their unique requirements, they were forced to investigate alternative approaches to the problem, and the approach they went with, they believe, is useful to a lot more people than just themselves. This is both plausible and matches the announcement, so why take a bad faith approach to someone releasing some code to the open source? Would you prefer if they kept it closed?

And since we're talking about github, haven't they already launched a highly successful pair of projects in atom/electron, in areas where both had competition? why start with negativity before we see what they come out with?
And in the end, after the whale makes his profit in btc, he will probably reinvest in eth because it is low, gaining a larger stake in an already fragile economy, and will be able to exert more influence next time he tries to move the market.
VMware only has passthrough support for ESXi/vSphere. Not for VMware workstation or VMware Player. So unfortunately not with Linux as a host.

For the record, VMware Fusion also does not support PCIe passthrough.
Well of course a beauty contest judged by AIs would go horribly wrong. Appearance is highly subjective and arbitrary.

But even so it's not clear their algorithm was the cause of the bias, or that the bias was significant. For instance, it's possible that black people have slightly worse "facial symmetry" on average, or whatever made up metric they were using. And even if black people only scored 1% worse on average, that means the extremes will be dominated by whites, because of the way gaussian distributions work. So it may appear to be way more biased than it actually is.
April Fools' Day Request for Comments
I was responding to your larger question. User space schedulers would be quite cool, don't know of a language that offers anything over and above a priority queue or timers.
But do humans act with genuine intelligence?

Can genuine intelligence arise from a mechanical system? My gut says no. How about from an electronic system? My gut still says no. How about from a biological system? That's where I'm stuck.

It may not based on haproxy but they definitely used it prior to switching. If we're being generous in our interpretation that would indicate that they found that it didn't work for them. I'm not saying your overall point isn't valid but I wouldn't be so quick to judge.
Here's an example of one study which found that other minerals play a role in the salty taste perception itself, and also discusses the non-salty volatile flavors present in different sea salts: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1745-459X.2010....
No, it's intentionally deceptive.
Yahoo will survive this regardless of their 'state sponsored' hand waving or not.

The day the same happens to Google or Facebook will be very different.
Does this try to prevent immigrant neighborhoods from forming as well? In the US at least my perception is that immigrant neighborhoods that mainly have first and second generation residents are viewed much more favorably even though they are a form of segregation. The upshot is they allow people to find others that speak their language and stores that sell their food.
In many places in the US, this is the case, but not for the sample I was choosing (see my sibling reply).

I believe a common reason for this is that they don't want to announce it until they're completely sure the breach is gone and that they have control of things again. Announcing that it happened and that it's ongoing forces them to either cease operations or face liability.

Did you mean diffentiating tissue?

Yes, that is true. You can use ISO levels from the images to segment different density regions, which is more or less what a doctor would do, AFAIK.

Usually the entire picture is non-zero, so you have to set a cutoff somewhere in order to get a real blob.
I'm saying that there at one time was a business opportunity for someone who wanted to setup a lending company that offers black families fair and favorable terms on mortgages. (Granted, there may be some gray area on 'fair and favorable').

Partially because of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the Community Reinvestment Act, banks were incentivised. Black families were targeted by predatory lenders who knew the rules well enough to get the loans for the individuals, individuals who perhaps were not in an economic position to be able to fulfill the agreements of the loans, then resell them in mortgage backed securities. At the micro level, the Community Reinvestment Act was "a good thing". We as a society want everyone to have a home. However, it did have negative consequences at the macro level.

So there was a business opportunity at one time. Is there today? I don't know. And yes, it was probably an over-characterization.

New Data Tool by Bayes Impact (S14) Aims for Transparency in Police Use of Force
The way I read it is that the stolen data has a relatively high probability of including the first set of things, but a relatively low probability of including the second set of things. They don't want to say definitively for whatever reason.
I don't know. Financial industry is a big bubble in the US right now.

It has been a great ride for those that lived it. But when the bubble pops people are going to handle pitchforks against anything resembling "financial" on its name. Already happened in the 1930s and a little in 2008.
and you need to play 23 dimensional chess!

I actually think this is 100% correct. Goals are nice but you need a system to achieve them.
Investors are conflicted: on the one hand, Yahoo had a data breach that will cost them trust, but on the other hand, investors are surprised to hear there are still 500 million Yahoo users.
At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?-- Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!

All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.

As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
The biggest obstacle for Typescript by far is using libraries which have no or outdated declaration files on DefinitelyTyped.

You can get good at writing the declarations yourself, but it's hugely annoying.
baking, in this context is a stream of vertices where each frame carries geometry information and nothing else.

If geometry wasn't baked in, then you would have a separate description of geometry (and everything else) as well as keyframes which are left to the client to interpolate.

Think of it as a HTML versus a screenshot. Both carry the same information, but for screenshot you don't need anything else apart from image viewer. For HTML you need parser, layout, render, whatever.. poor analogy, but hey.

USD is a next generation RIB, like OSL (done at sony) is next gen RSL. Both RIB and RSL stem from RISpec https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RenderMan_Interface_Specificat... which is a good intro to see what's being talked about here.
Typescript is such a neat project. The js ecosystem is vast and diverse and the typescript team has the unique job of figuring out how to make common dynamic patterns type-safe and convenient. Like... that's so cool. Every little pattern like its own type system puzzle, and there's no _avoiding_ the issue like a ground-up language can do, because their job is literally to type the JavaScript we write today.

Also, how much money is MS pumping into TS? A lot of OSS has one or two super-contributors that carry the project on their backs, but typescript has a small army of smart people with significant contributions.
The only reason they announced it was to avoid being guilty of an actual crime after being acquired and not announcing it before hand.
> precomputing stuff

Correct. In this context it means turning the geometry into frame by frame mesh data so that your animation isn't dependent on anything like bones, cloth simulation, muscle/skin simulation, soft or rigid body dynamics, inverse kinematics in the rig, expressions on the bones of the rig etc.

Not only does it break dependencies, but it is also easier to get that geometry into another part of the pipeline like effects, lighting and even compositing.
YHOO is being bought by Verizon. The stock price will not move out of a fixed range.
Lots of stories of people flipping pre-construction units, waiting in line for days to put a deposit down on new construction

This has to be one of the strangest complaints, along with shadow flipping, that's come out of the real-estate debacle here in Vancouver.

Builders need to achieve 100% or near 100% sell-through on units in a project. Doing that through a pre-sell is hard, so they've traditionally offered a small discount on pre-sells. Buyers have typically been ok with committing themselves to a pre-sell because of the discount. Everyone's needs are satisfied.

If a pre-sell buyer decides to flip the property immediately, what harm is there in that? Is it that you didn't get the discount? This has exactly no impact at all on the steady-state market price of property; it's just a matter of who the builder decides to give this small one-time discount to.

Worse, it's a distraction from the real reason that real estate has become so expensive in Vancouver and Toronto, which is foreign investment. The BC government imposed a foreign investor tax here and the market is now in a slow-motion collapse; I've been watching about 2 dozen detached houses on realtor.ca and none of them have sold. Some have already dropped their asking price by about 100k-200k and they're still on offer.

If you want a real solution to housing prices, kick out the foreign speculators.
Honest question - do you think if the proprietary software you worked on had been planned from the beginning to be released publicly, a very large outlay would be unnecessary?

Making the case for a startup visa
I don't remember probable cause being the issue in that case. Do you remember differently?
Joe from GitHub here, frankly there is a lot we want to talk about and release and it was simply too much for one post. We'd like to give it a proper treatment and single very long post won't do that. Also, it allows us to get folks interested in the project and give us time to prepare our code for release. It's a surprisingly big job.

Using Jekyll, S3 and Cloudfront is another popular option. I found great themes on http://jekyllthemes.org/ . Also, Jekyll has support for seo etc.
I don't know about that, sounds to me like they're still in the process of investigating and they don't want to use any absolutes. "We think these were stolen, but we don't think these were" is what I take from it.
Gfycat raises $10M to help creatives fire up the memes
pannenkoek2012's videos are a fascinating insight into the implementation details of an N64 game from the perspective of a speedrunner. Every exploitable glitch reflects some aspect of how the game engine works.

(There's also a secret sister channel, pannenkeok2012, for lower-effort videos. Among other things, there's a comprehensive search of the game's PRNG in there!)
> For that case, all I think we can do is treat the swatters as people committing aggravated kidnapping or even attempted murder.

Absolutely. In fact - if swatting results in the death of a person, then the swatter should be charged with first degree murder.

The problem, however, is that the swatters are not always in the US, so even identifying the swatter can be quite difficult; let alone extraditing them.

Thus, the swat teams also need to, in one way or another, tone down their violent, no-knock raids.
It seems reasonable to give the 50% statistic, because it may show why blacks may be more reluctant or unable to participate in this mass movement. It's easy for a white person to say sure, let's move, given that there's only an 8% chance of any specific white person having to actually move.
Mario's speed was limited via "speed < MAX_SPEED", but it didn't have any boundary on negative speed. So you can build up effectively infinite negative speed by chaining long-jumps backward, without turning Mario around. Get enough (negative) speed, and the boundary checks for walls get bypassed, because you move all the way through them in one frame.

You can combine that with another trick: chaining long jumps works as long as you're close enough to the ground to kick off the ground, so if you hit the jump button rapidly enough, you'll jump repeatedly without leaving the ground. Notice in the linked video that you'll hear many jumping sounds rapidly, but occasionally the player will miss the timing and do a full-height jump.

That same trick also works to bypass the "infinite" staircase without having 70 stars (because you move past the looping portion in one frame).

Human players can successfully use this to warp through walls and bypass star/key requirements, to complete the game with 50, 16, 1, or 0 stars. Tool-assisted speedruns also use this to move rapidly through levels, but that requires a series of frame-perfect inputs.
Show HN: Hakkeri for iOS – readable and minimalistic Hacker News
There are no standard kerberos ciphersuites that use anything better than RC4/IDEA/DES/3DES: http://www.iana.org/assignments/tls-parameters/tls-parameter.... So: broken and obsolete.
I created Hakkeri because I wanted a readable and minimalistic way to browse Hacker News. Content is king so I got rid of all the clutter. I wanted to share it for free for those that think that they too want this experience!

For me it's the best way to browse HN on iPhone. It uses the open Hacker News API's. Please see for yourself, give me feedback (sampsa.kuronen@gmail.com) and rate the app on the App Store!

Features:

- List of front page stories

- Stories open in Safari reader mode (opt-out from this: Settings - Hakkeri)

- Swipe a story to share a story

Plugged in an N64 a year or two back with a mate for a quick blast. After starting it we had an embarrassingly long period of cable fiddling trying to work out why it looked so... average. It turns out the the combo of screens getting way bigger and the graphics being fairly low res by modern standards was actually the issue. It's funny how even now I remember it being pixel perfect.
WebGL Lessons – A Brief Intro to Fragment Shaders
I work in biomedical informatics, genetics background, and your friend is technically correct and MONSTROUSLY WRONG.

Bacterial populations that develop these resistances are certainly self limiting to a small extent - the resistance makes them less fit, less survivable and powerful, than other bacteria that lack the resistance trait - this means that bacteria WITHOUT the resistance out-compete bacteria WITH it -

That, in turn, means that when we take away antibiotics from the bacterial growth environment, the population with the resistance dwindles greatly or even disappears -

BUT

And this is a GIGANTIC BUT!

- often the mechanism that causes bacteria to stop expressing the resistance trait doesn't actually remove the genetic material from the individual bacterium, and even more, doesn't remove the trait entirely from the population. The end result of this is that you have a bacterial population that isn't DIRECTLY resistant to a given antibiotic NOW, but that if you introduce an antibiotic, you will almost immediately have a bacterial population resistant to that antibiotic. Through mechanisms like turning resistance genes back 'on' that were previously 'off', genetic material communication (essentially just bacteria passing genes back and forth amongst themselves, many bacteria are frighteningly efficient at this!) - we get the end result that's the functional equivalent of a a town full of regular folk who can go to a bunker in the event of an emergency and immediately transform into the hyper-militia from hell. Like a population full of terrorist sleeper cells, only with far more destructive capability than any terrorist group!
I love how every time a company is compromised, everyone pops with their own "uncompromised" service offer.

As if, this one would never get compromised and they were much better at it. Except they probably aren't. Bet the devs have all keys on their "work" laptop (you know, the one with stickers that they take home, to starbucks, on vacations, watch their movies on, etc.) (like everyone elses is doing)

Sooo narrow-sighted.
IMO:

State attack = a state steals the access and keep the breach secret for as long as they can [or until they get hacked themselves]. They use it for espionage and similar purposes

Evil bad guy = all accounts and passwords are already available on blackmarket.com since Day+1 after the breach. They'll probably end up in a torrent within the next month.

Evil bad guy sponsored by a state = Well, somewhere between the two. Hopefully the state ensures they get exclusive access and non disclosure.
Attribution is hard.
My assumption was some sort of flaw or limitation in hit detection but it would be awesome if someone who actually worked on it or similar could comment further :)
Well, "anything could have been stolen" is always true of all data stored anywhere.
Will it? Why? If anything, Google and Facebook seem to be more firmly entrenched in everyone's day-to-day lives and are more likely to get the "too big to fail" treatment.
I looked at it before but I'm not sure why I moved on, it does seem to fit really well. Thanks!
Yeah.

Every making even a small change to a JS codebase you haven't touched in a while that isn't VERY thoroughly tested? (Doesn't even need to be a big code base).

Thinks will break.
And you will lose hours of time.

Static typing doesn't eliminate all bugs, of course.
But it can catch many common mistakes made in JS.
"It's life Jim, but not as we know it" ;).
The trouble is that confidentiality and integrity play against each other in useful ways. For instance, even if I have nothing private to say in my email, if you want to authenticate messages as coming from me, I need a private key to sign my email so that nobody else does.

Even in a hypothetical future where, say, two employees in a company couldn't communicate privately without the entire rest of the company knowing (and I question whether that would be a good future), you still want the ability for one employee to communicate and certify the message as coming from them. Otherwise I could give myself bonuses. That requires some password or key known to me and only to me; that requires that cookies and other session state on my computer are only accessible to me.
Yahoo has recommended that users "check their accounts". What exactly would they be checking? Doesn't a compromised account look the same as an uncompromised account from a user perspective?
I'd be much more hesitant to talk about "meaning" in this context. Are we working with abstract concepts? We're working with images and text, and creating connections between the two. It may be that this approach, ramped up in processing power and complexity, can completely mimic a human's response to images; we may also hit a wall where new techniques are needed to address what you'd call "meaning."
