I had an existing Synology NAS, and never ended up getting an external USB drive. And then I guess I was hoping some software would just come out for my NAS that would do something similar.
Embargoes aren't rooted in laws, though. There's nothing stopping a news outlet from breaking embargo other than the reprecussions from the other company, like not getting news early in the future.

Edit: Wow, I need some sleep. I misread the OP, and the Wikipedia article to which I linked. I'll keep the comment up for posterity, but, yes, the company itself can put limitations in place but it's incredibly difficult to enforce.
The Ultimate New Product Launch Marketing Checklist
I'm not much of a cartographer so I'd be happy to be corrected, but it looks like a Mercator projection that omits Antarctica to me.
Secure boot solves the opposite problem from counterfeit hardware. If you make the hardware, you can insert whatever signing key you'd like - including Cisco's.

This argument demonstrates why architecture is so insidious. Yes, "Secure Boot" solves real problems. As I said, these problems can be solved through similar functionality that does not anchor the trust root to private keys. But now that Microsoft (et al) have promulgated their naive fully-trusted-publisher implementations, we're left having to dispel the primacy of "keys" in the first place.
There is no such thing as a moral high ground. China is completely free to become a hermit kingdom again if they want, with their own little Internet surrounded by worldwide services (Facebook, google) in countries as poor and undeveloped as Myanmar and Cambodia. Perhaps they could join with DPRK and create a two country "extra harmonious" internet.

They could totally do that, but I don't get why we leave our markets so open to the Chinese when they've closed theirs so much to us. The reason China doesn't "officially" block Facebook (call china telecom and ask, they won't admit it) is because they don't want to look closed to the WTO, so we play this game of semantics and the US leadership let's them get away with it. Screw that, let them become North Korea if they want, but we don't have to keep our door open in the meantime and cater to their hypocracy.
> a broken electoral voting system

Would you really be saying this if Clinton lost the popular vote?

> calls for "reasoned debate" on the American right

We are not talking about discussion at a political level. This isn't about the GOP. The GOP hates Trump. Its at an interpersonal level. Person to person. Comment to comment.

Look at this thread as a case in point. You will see a perfect sample of the kind of discourse you get when you start talking with liberals. Plenty of accusations of sexism, racism, xenophobia. And I'm just a username on a forum. I could be a gay, female, muslim, illegal immigrant and I would still have been called these things. And also would be called out for betraying the liberal cause. :(
Show HN: Enlight – Learn to Code by Building Projects
https://enlight.ml
I'm talking about the design philosophy. Windows is a GUI-centric experience. Adding a GUI instantly adds an order of magnitude more code to a project. This hides complexity from the user, but increases the amount of code.

Much of the budget for coding this stack has to be spent on maintaining this easy to use GUI instead of things like developing package managers, filesystems like ZFS, powerful software raid, etc. Because GNU/Linux assumes the user will have some coding skill and technical knowledge, it can spend less time building easy to use stuff and focus on overcoming technical challenges. I guess my point should have said GNU/Linux stack overall vs Windows stack.
They use stepper motors - same hardware that allows a budget 3D printer archive sub-mm movement without any feedback loops.
Pretty sure they don't need to look at the cube again after scanning the starting position.
No idea why you are being downvoted. Regardless of whether it's actually enforceable, this threat is definitely aired during every NFL game. MLB too: "This copyrighted telecast is presented by authority of the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball.

As a side note, that episode left me wondering why the original seller didn't open their own eBay store, listing the product at their desired price. I would have thought it would have effectively undercut the resellers and gain a large portion of the sales on eBay.

Another note, Planet Money is pretty much my favourite "always on"* podcast. An podcast about economics might sound dull to some, but what a lot (maybe not on HN) people don't realise is "economics" is a really a study of human behaviour at the macro level, and a large part of human behaviour at the micro level.

* serial was hugely addictive, but it only has short seasons, and each episode had what seemed like a huge wait between them.
The scene is already fairly small, production is more or less adhoc these days, underaged prostitution is still very much alive these days even in western countries, not to mention places like Mexico, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.
The difference is that with the warez scene there is no production effectively, since they just copy things which are constantly produced by industry, here there isn't an industry to back it up other than the one within the community.

Additionally with how laws are structured in many places selling CP is a worse offense than possession, hence the trading scene is an easy way to legally cover your ass to get a reduced sentence or no sentence at all.
But this also means that there is either direct production or contracting for this material from developing nations since otherwise everyone would be trading the same thing, about 9-10 years ago I've volunteered with the police and we were tracking sharing and downloading back then over P2P.

Once there was sufficient evidence they would flag the person and check their travel history, quite a few of them had traveled back then often (2-3 times a year or more) to either the Balkans/Central Europe and Asia and they were going there to effectively purchase or produce it for self consumption and trade.

Sadly there are way to many places where you can have sex with a child for money, and not for a lot of it, child prostitution in Mexico even in border towns it cheaper than normal street prostitution in the US not to mention higher end call girls.

Get a laptop or a camera and for a few 100$ you can produce quite a bit of content.
Ask HN: Is it the End of Work?
Interesting article

Ask HN: What's the best remote desktop viewing software for Windows?
I am looking for a remote desktop viewing software we can install on a few dozen machines. UltraVNC works but some people have suggested a tool called Radmin which actually performs better (better screen resolution and faster refresh rates). Ideally I would like something that has a portable install because it will make automated deployment easier.

Windows Remote Desktop won't work because it actually takes over the session. We need a real viewing software that doesn't change anything on its target machine.

Any suggestions? Are there better VNC versions than UltraVNC?
When I was in college, I resold high demand systems around the holidays. Some examples of this include the slim PS2, the Nintendo DS, and the XBox 360.

I can tell you from this experience that people pay. The bids are not joke bids. They are people who are willing to pay market rate for high demand items because they want them now. God bless them. Furthermore, you can require payment before purchase.
a more precise analogy might be surveillance cameras. while an argument could be made for their immorality, the vast majority of society accepts at this point that while they can be used for bad (mass surveillance), their uses are varied and beneficial enough that we accept their costs as one of society's.
> From those few all secretly want to switch to 1).

Unless each of those has learned that 1) always ends poorly and has decided they're better off with strong allies comitted to the ideals of justice.

Yeah, we quibble over the details. But there is a direction we all want to go - safety and personal freedom are universal ideals.

Even dictatorships fake elections.
Your claim that a rape accusation will utterly ruin a person's life, right after Trump has become president-elect, is staggeringly imperceptive given that he has been accused of rape not once but thrice and had rape charges in pre-trial stages during his campaign!
She's dull and kinda unlikeable. She had some good ideas but nothing really exciting.

Trump has, in his way, an Obama like gift for getting people excited to vote for him. It makes him look god awful to his opponents, but it gets people to vote.
You mean yesterday's story about Linux not supporting the latest MacBook Pro?
That is one of the mechanisms that they were relying on. Anyone attending the event and relaying moves is likely in breach of contract, and at least could be thrown out of the venue. Likewise, anyone who signed up for the official feed and then shared the moves is violating the website's terms and conditions and could get their account closed. But it only takes one anonymous user to sign up and report the moves to other sites.
If being liberal is right, why do a lot of people switch camps when they get older. You get less correct with age? Or maybe it's a little more complex than that?

A thing is worth what another is willing to pay for it.

Nobody needs it to survive. Nobody must give it to someone else. Those who find it worth $600 have the opportunity to buy one, rather than not getting one because they sold out too fast. And there's nothing stopping Nintendo from making more until everyone willing to buy it at $60 (if only to turn around and resell it for 10x) gets one.

I'm tempted to call this a "0th world problem". It's a game. You'll live without it, or at least until you can buy one for list price. Heck, wait a little longer and you can get one for $10.

What affect this has on him remains to be seen.

Perhaps very little, since it's been known for some time they've been doctored to, shall I say, achieve certain domestic political goals.

If he wants to start dealing with this stuff sooner rather than later, he needs to get some of his advisers' clearances current again, and have them start digging.
Events that happens are facts, creative representation of facts is copywritable but not mechanical translations. Thus you can't get a copywrite on the S&P's closing value, but you can on a story about it. Further, a program has multiple possible representations, you can copywrite the code in one of them, but not gain a separate one for the compiled code.

PS: There are also many ways to generate code that don't create a copywrite.
No? It did not? Why would you think that?

Being the global police and having good healthcare are orthogonal to each other. One doesn't really effect the other all that much. I don't really get why are saying they do?

> Consistency is simply majority wins, which completely stifles new ideas or minority opinions.

No isn't.

You don't need to have a "non objective view of the truth" - i..e you don't need the ability to ask the system "Is this statement true?"

You just need the ability to ask the system "Will I think this is true, given the other things I have claimed to be true?"

Maintaining internal complexity of your own claim graph gets really tricky unless you keep it as accurate as possible.

For example, consensus view was that trump would not win the election. Trump did win the election. Thus, those two claims:

* (before) Trump will not win
* (later) Trump won

These two are inconsistent. It's possible to rectify that inconsistency by marking the earlier statment cancelled. So now we have three statements

* (before) Trump will not win
* (later) Trump won
* (now) I was wrong to say, "Trump will not win."

The gap between "now" and "Before" can be used to compute "probability of a statement being retracted." The smaller those gaps, the more likely it is what whatever you say comes with an asterisk next to it, saying "the expected time to retraction of this statement is: x days"
Agreed. The best way to avoid fraud is to ensure it can't be done, and cryptography might be a valuable tool to enfore that.
That is the kind of negative stereotyping that we need to stop, now. Community colleges train people in most trades at a basic level, and they care more about your success in the workforce than most big colleges. I personally know many people with successful, fulfilling careers who started at community college. Maybe not stuff that people on HN would find glorious, but far better than disgruntled stagnation.
It is not black or white! China is dark grey and the west is a lighter gray. It is a fallacy to think in binary, right wrong, good evil, there is nothing like that. I can guarantee you that both China and the USA have corruption, but the police and military aren't running brothels in the USA like they are in china. Yes, west and china has propaganda, but one more resembles North Korean ridiculousness than the other. The west and china both have pollution, but one is much worse than the other.
As a person who knows next to nothing about the inner workings of the brain, the few books I read hinted of this. Apparently, learning changes the brain's physiology? anybody knows about good books on understanding how the brain works - as far as we know today?
Hey everyone,

I'd love to know your thoughts on Enlight. I hand-crafted the site and am hoping you guys can give some advice on how to make it better!
So if you're not a Trump supporter and actually want to give this a fair shake. Have you perhaps asked WHY H1-B employees are so attractive? They are living in America (same cost of living), so why are their salaries lower? Who is the real second-class human here?

P.S: The answer is that H1-B's are virtually locked into their jobs and have no negotiating power. Give them that and American employees will look magically more attractive.
Yes, but why does windows have to deal with old drivers and userland software? Because they are paid to do so! It is a business, if they didn't make money on it, they wouldn't do it.

On Linux, if no one wants to maintain the old driver, it doesn't get maintained and the manufacturer does it or people stop using it and use something else. Poof no more old driver!

Agreed on libre software, wouldn't be possible without that of course. But I think money has had a large impact as well.
I second the recommendation of CLRS. Another good source of applied examples is the bioinformatics literature. It may be a little tough if you don't have much background in genetics, but a lot of the basic algorithms in computational biology are essentially dynamic programming algorithms that analyze strings over the alphabets of DNA or amino acids. One of my favorite books, which is a classic and (I think) is pretty approachable for the non-biologist, is Biological Sequence Analysis by Durbin, Eddy, Krogh, and Mitchison.
Unfortunately (as one might be able to tell from the election results) not everyone hates Trump. In fact his supporters would likely make a sizeable consumer base.
You are not unaware of ProtonMail [1]. Why are you putting its name in sneer quotes to imply unfamiliarity and insignificance?

My original comment is appropriate. The fact you feel it's appropriate to comment on his relationship with a family member and say you're sorry for his Aunt and then pass judgement about the general public's behaviour during an election is quite arrogant.
I doubt it. I walked past a whole shelf of Sega Genesis emulation boxes at Target. That and the Atari Flashback 7 seem to be heavily stocked.
Gender isn't a protected group, beating a woman isn't a hate crime it's an assault.

Hate crimes have very strict definitions in most jurisdictions, and even those definitions are often a slippery slope bordering on thought policing.

Overall if you beat some one because they are gay you should be charged with aggravated assault and sentenced in the same manner as any other person who thinks it's OK to physically assault some one.

The only time where hate crimes can somewhat be considered useful for protecting society is in non-violent crimes, but even then there usually parts of the criminal code that would cover the crime better.
You can't think of any jobs that an education can provide?
> How do we reconcile the fact that she completely blew this election?

We don't reconcile them, because while not unrelated, they also aren't tightly correlated. "Experienced and qualified" don't guarantee success in an election (or anything else for that matter). Trump is clearly not experienced politically and a large number of people agree that he's not qualified, yet he still won.

Experienced and qualified people fail at stuff pretty regularly.
I'm not sure what this is supposed to demonstrate. This is a thread that seems mostly to consist of me debating with the Cyph people.
Well said.

Obama is against political correctness.

> It’s not just sometimes folks who are mad that colleges are too liberal that have a problem. Sometimes there are folks on college campuses who are liberal, and maybe even agree with me on a bunch of issues, who sometimes aren’t listening to the other side, and that’s a problem too. I’ve heard some college campuses where they don’t want to have a guest speaker who is too conservative or they don’t want to read a book if it has language that is offensive to African-Americans or somehow sends a demeaning signal towards women. I gotta tell you, I don’t agree with that either. I don’t agree that you, when you become students at colleges, have to be coddled and protected from different points of view. I think you should be able to — anybody who comes to speak to you and you disagree with, you should have an argument with ‘em. But you shouldn’t silence them by saying, "You can’t come because I'm too sensitive to hear what you have to say." That’s not the way we learn either.

This means that somewhere you have a white male SJW college student calling out a black president for betraying their cause.

That's a well-settled issue. Are you really claiming that writing down the positions of chess pieces is similar to operating a video camera looking at 3D objects?

Yeah, that. Oops, looks like my phrasing got me downvotes. Oh well.
I appreciate your analysis - however you need to compare it not with the length of a Tweet but rather with the entropy in a melody: whereas there are typically "less than 50 legal choices" and an average game is "40 moves", a melody that has been held to be protected by copyright has fewer than 50 legal choices for each note, and requires fewer than 40 notes (by far) to be protected by copyright.

I'd like to have you come back and compare chess games as actually played, with what has been held to be copyrighted simple melodies. I'd like to see that comparison and think you're good to go to make it.

Ask HN: Why is there no netflix for news?
I get pay walled at some of the articles linked here. I'd like to subscribe to a few of the sites, but there are so many I'd be out of pocket pretty quickly if I did that. Why is there no service like netflix for news? I'd happily pay for one service that gives me limited access to many news outlets. But I'm not going to maintain 10 different accounts with 10 different media outlets.
As long as one keeps in mind that the perceptions flowing through that fire hose are skewed in a way simply by virtue of flowing through that particular fire hose.
I don't understand your point. You cannot "insert" Cisco's signing key into your own hardware because 1) the device does not possess it, and 2) only Cisco (ideally) has access to its signing key.

If you instead mean that you can build your own custom hardware that mimics the functionality of Cisco's TPM and uses another key pair for signing boot code, then I give you a pat on the back for the accomplishment.
I would suggest that Gmail has little to gain by silencing Yahoo Mail or Outlook.com (that many have heard of anyways), but has a lot of reason to silence companies which are pointing out the privacy issues with using Gmail.
You are correct, but there is also a distinction between the posturing of sports giants like the MLB and the NFL and what would actually hold up in court in a possible legal challenge. My media law professor seemed pretty sure that, in a vast majority of these cases, those "prohibitions" would not hold up.
"Hot news" is a good time to remember that copyright is shaped not only by US copyright law, but also by common law and the 1st Amendment.

could have just done pre orders like apple and slip the shipping date as the list gets longer. It's not like companies don't have a solution. It's just Nintendo being Nintendo.
downvotes are probably because I could have taken on a legal perspective (but didn't), and I didn't talk about how much creativity goes into producing those facts. I want to be clear that I am fully behind the judge's choice: but he made it for pragmatic reasons, not because he couldn't have chosen for games to be copyrighted if he really wanted to. They could have been if he really wanted them to be, in the same way that simple melodies have been held to be copyrighted.

Where creative choices are incredibly constrained (as with a chess game -- there really isn't that much entropy going into one), or my example with simple melodies, the application of copyright becomes interesting.
Yea, and even best case scenario is an indefinite nuclear waste facility somewhere inside Yucca mountain for the world to worry about for thousands of years to come.

It's interesting that it may be cleaner than traditional fossil fuels, but suggesting nuclear waste does not pose any environmental risk because it can be safely stored is exactly as you say: it's like saying anything does not pose risk because it can be safely averted. I could use the same logic to argue cars do not pose any safety risk because we can safely avert accidents. It's just wishful thinking to say we are capable to not make mistakes, and it's not logical to say there is no risk when there is.
