Judge Pregerson to the appellate lawyer, Daniel J. Voelker made me laugh (30:25):

"They abused our court system for illegal purposes, to extort money. [...] This has got to be written about for years and years - you're probably going to be part of the story."

Compared to Voelker, Morgan E. Pietz (beginning 35:30) for the appellee does a superb job of keeping discussions on point when faced with similar anecdotes and trivia questions.

Having (unintentionally) watched the whole video I was curious what the decision was, whether Prenda had their day in (criminal contempt) court, but as it transpires the appeal was dismissed: http://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca9/13-...

Curiously, as good a job as Pietz may have done making his case, it doesn't appear that when reaching their conclusion, the panel depended on much (if any) of the case law he cited.

I am working on a draft for something that started off with my discontent with the direction C++ was going in. So, in a few terms, it follows the performance focus principle and philosophically it's being designed to serve you as a tool (i.e. not staying in your way) instead of trying to discipline you (even if that means letting you shoot yourself in the foot). C++ got messy in my view. For now I've been collecting ideas on language design from every piece of info I've stumbled upon, but there's nothing implemented so far.
I don't know if it's bad form to do feature requests on HN but having gone through a lot of these note clients (see list [here](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13642527)) the three-ish features that I'd like to see on a note client that can, but does not have to, sync to the cloud and that I couldn't seem to find in a single one are:

* Support for LaTeX math notation (like Zim-Wiki)
* Support for code (like Quiver)
* a good, clean UI if possible with a dark mode so that I can stare at it for long periods of time

You may be interested in Portugal's drug policy which has become an example of what you're suggesting. Laws were relaxed in 2001 together with increased support and therapy. Statistics suggest that drug use and related problems have reduced since then:

You might put yourself in a worse position if the court compels you to produce the data, but now you can't. You better be very certain that you are able to prove that you deleted the data prior to any notice, or you might find yourself in for a long jail stay.

This is what a lot of people overlook - when the court compels you to produce evidence, or ill gotten gains, saying ,"I can't" - isn't a legal defense.
Okay you have reverb or chorus or anything else you must have the mix wet. If you don't you are throwing everything off. Once again if you are not recording multi-track it really doesn't matter that much. If you throwing multiple of tracks and multiple of recordings its a HUGE issue that just manually or automatically delaying tracks won't fix. If "any modern DAW" could fix with a latency compensation then no one would be writing and working on latency for 20 years.

My point latency doesn't really matter for most people recording. BUT if you get in that realm where you need to worry about it then its a PAIN no matter what your OS is. Apple isn't "superior" in audio recording just like it isn't in video and image manipulation. OS is more about people's feeling and attachment to their OS's company's marketing.

I think Apple has been dishonest and hostile to people so I don't like them as a company. You can't trust them not to throw the rug out from under your feet (Thunderbolt cost studios thousands and thousands of dollars). Lack of a new Mac Pro also is a HUGE issue for most video shops now. Their OS drives me nuts and really unreliable for me. Other people love it and I am fine with your opinion until they think everything else is garbage.

From looking at "upload.js" you are using AES in counter mode.

var aesCtr = new aesjs.ModeOfOperation.ctr(encryptionKeyBytes, new aesjs.Counter(-1));

Please use https://github.com/bitwiseshiftleft/sjcl which supports a very high-level sjcl.encrypt(passphrase, plaintext) API and has been audited, instead of using crypto primitives.

One specific issue is you are only encrypting, not authenticating, so if the servers are compromised someone could send back a fake plaintext.

Arch Capital Group (Mortgage Segment) | Senior Full Stack .NET Developer (Data Warehousing) | Bermuda | VISA

Languages - T-SQL/C#/Javascript

Project Types - SQL Database/Win Forms/ASP.NET MVC/Excel Add-ins

Although we're looking for a Full Stack developer and expect the successful candidate to have experience bringing applications through the full software development life cycle, this is primarily a database developer role. We're looking for someone with extensive SQL Server experience related to ETL/data scrubbing/validation/aggregation and providing data for reporting needs.

Our team manages mortgage data from a number of sources and each source has its own unique time-varying schema. One of the tasks of this role will involve extending a database solution that loads the source data and transforms it into a common format for reporting purposes. Data is received monthly in text/Excel format.

This is the first full-time developer role supporting a small team of underwriters, actuaries and analysts. It provides a great opportunity to get involved in the early-stage development of our data processing tools and to relocate to beautiful Bermuda!

If you're interested please send your CV to recruiting [at] archreinsurance.bm and we can share a more formal job spec and talk further.
I find some basic knife skills to be a huge labor saver. I've had the same decent (ie, not serrated) $25 chef's knife for decades and can plow through basic veg prep in a few minutes. I don't like all the extra gadgets except a peeler. When I factor in setting up and washing some chopping or slicing machine, I'm way faster with just a knife and board. Two things to wash. And the board is also used to hold stuff on its way to the pot, so that cuts down on temp bowls too.

I liked the service but I'm afraid it will end up like all the 1-click-hosters: as a storage for pirated content, blacklisted in most corporate networks.

Few comments:

Animated backgroud is very distracting. I'm constantly reacting to the new icons floating into the screen.

Underlined "Or" in "Click Here Or Drag & Drop To Start Uploading" makes me think it's some kind of a link. Any reason to underline it?

If I upload multiple files (which worked well) I want to be able to copy all the URLs at once. Displaying them in a text box would be good.
> It can't even move 1000 people an hour, a road moves 2k an hour, a set of metal sticks we call rail moves 20k an hour.

You are now making lots of assumptions for each mode of transport without stating them.

Given that none of the companies working on different Hyperloop concepts are even directly replicating the original proposal, your assumptions for hyperloop may or may not hold, but without stating which of revised models you're discussing throwing out numbers like this is entirely meaningless.
> I don't understand why you think providing all those services in UWP is a good thing, but extending HTML5 + the Javascript VM to cover them would be a terrible idea.

Thanks for the feedback.

The upload box is the first and almost only thing that you see when you go to the page and the purpose is to make the process simple so that you don't have to click through to a second page in order to start uploading.

You do however have a point as it could be confusing for some new user who haven't uploaded files before. We'll try to add an info box or some additional text to make the message more clear, thanks for pointing it out.
No, that's not all it does, though you can certainly use it to do that.

This service runs a series of build steps on your source. It's an arbitrary execution engine with container building dressing on top (UI, CLI, etc).

One of the build steps might do 'docker build'. In fact, most of the build steps that GCCB has executed do just that! But it's not limited. You can provide container images for custom build steps to do whatever you like in a repeatable, automated fashion.

Cannabis is effectively legal in the UK now, but there's no evidence of a decline in use as far as I know. Certainly not a precipitous one.

I'm not sure what you mean about class background. There must be very few 15 year olds in the UK, from any class background, who haven't used alcohol. I wasn't really referring to binge drinking. My point was that the fact that it's easier for young people to legally drink alcohol in the UK than it is in the US seems to have an effect.
Cool to hear others are using the process, even in the past :)

That is incorrect. Knowing the hash does not mean you know the contents of the file. You should generate encryption keys randomly, preferably using a secure random method such as that shipped with SJCL, rather than JavaScript's random API.

Indeed, that's what the doc implies. They say they reckon the CIA has no recourse. Probably sue-able for breaking their employment contract where they presumably agree to never disclose anything, regardless of classification level. But doubtful that'd be a federal crime.

The Instant Pot came on the market with perfect timing, just as the pressure cooker started to go from "geek" to "mainstream" in its adoption curve. The fawning press articles claim that it was Instant Pot that took pressure cooking from niche to mainstream, but I don't buy that -- I think it would have happened anyways.

It's a good pressure cooker. A good stovetop one will be faster, but it's only significant if you've got a gas or induction range. And of course the stovetop models don't have any automation.

And it's half the price of a good stovetop model.

As a fellow lazy kitchen-er, I've got a decent recommendation:

- small food processor to significantly reduce the chopping time. I picked one up cheap on a whim (I think for making hummus) and now most of the time I just coarsely chop veggies and throw it in with a slicer blade or grater, depending on what I'm making. (By coarse, I mean, I'll quarter the onion so that it fits down the chute)

- Quit peeling! I've got a vegetable peeler that is sitting very sad in the drawer because it hasn't been used in a long long time.
I much rather put my trust in them than myself. I am clueless about security.

Three Attitudes That Lead to Maintainable Code
Fair enough, I think I mean distribution of wealth. Capitalism is VERY good at moving money up. But, lately, in America, there's been not enough ways to get money going back down.
I mostly agree. I do have a food processor but, unless I'm doing a lot of chopping and don't care if it's pretty uneven, I find that just using a good knife is less total work and gives better results.
Russia and China have not got their stuff leaked, yet. Punishments in those countries are far more severe, too.
When the Jawbone first came out their support wasn't bad. They had live chat, email support, forums and telephone support. The first thing they shuttered was the live chat. Soon the email support became useless as the emails would stay in limbo for up to a week. Calling them directly was the only way to get help. Of course you had to suffer through the long wait times.

As for the support, they were generally on the customers side. Then again the Jawbone UPs were plagued with issues so they had no choice but to exchange it for you.

Overall, I don't think it was terrible, but it definitely got progressive worse especially when they got into a legal battle with Fitbit.

> This is what a lot of people overlook - when the court compels you to produce evidence, or ill gotten gains, saying ,"I can't" - isn't a legal defense.

We're getting closer and closer to testing that. IANAL but I'd imagine that some combination of the 4th and 5th amendments should cover that situation. The onus would be upon the prosecutor to prove that you destroyed the evidence after the fact.

As a general rule, one does not have to prove they didn't commit a crime, the prosecutor has to prove that they did. Where this gets murky is if a judge orders you to present the non-existent data as contempt of court may apply.

You should look into how Japanese cities developed after the introduction of high speed rail (shinkansen). Keywords: Shin-Yokohama, Shin-Osaka, Shin-Kobe.

There's really nothing special here - it should just be clear that HSR is only part of the puzzle. A dense public transport network in the served cities is just as important if not more so, but in a healthy landscape it should come automatically with demand.

> this is exactly what I expect a spy agency would be doing

From Wikileaks' overview:

"In the wake of Edward Snowden's leaks about the NSA, the U.S. technology industry secured a commitment from the Obama administration that the executive would disclose on an ongoing basis — rather than hoard — serious vulnerabilities, exploits, bugs or "zero days" to Apple, Google, Microsoft, and other US-based manufacturers.
...
"Year Zero" documents show that the CIA breached the Obama administration's commitments. Many of the vulnerabilities used in the CIA's cyber arsenal are pervasive and some may already have been found by rival intelligence agencies or cyber criminals."

By not releasing this information to technology companies affected, they are increasing the risk of the same exploits being used against high profile US targets.

> How is echo audio data substantially different than something like a tape recorder that was live in the man's home? What about a cell phone that was on a call at the time of the alleged murder?

It's not about the technology - a tape recorder isn't on the whole time while it's in your house and won't get accidentally turned on by you speaking. Alexa is listening the whole time and gets triggered even for non-standard phrases essentially sending snippets of conversations to Amazon you didn't explicitly plan to.

It's very very very rare that people press REC on a tape recorder and forget about it. It's very common for Alexa to trigger on phrases that aren't meant for it.
This is an incredible and sensational claim that, if true, can quite literally "break the internet". Makes me very sad to imagine that CIA grade cyber weapons for getting into iPhones are now in the hands of heaven knows who. Hope Apple security teams are on this.

EDIT: To clarify, I'm commenting on the original situation of the tools getting out of CIA to the entities it was "circulated to", not this leak later by WikiLeaks - presumably the damage has already been done.

The reasons to why NoFile won't become a storage site for pirated content is that uploaders aren't rewarded for downloads.

"Animated backgroud is very distracting. I'm constantly reacting to the new icons floating into the screen."

Another user pointed this out and a toggle for the animations will be added to the settings so that you can turn them off.

'Underlined "Or" in "Click Here Or Drag & Drop To Start Uploading" makes me think it's some kind of a link. Any reason to underline it?'

It's underlined just to separate the two options (clicking and dragging) for those who just read the "Click Here" part and assume that the rest of the sentence is just a description to why they should click here (e.g "Click here to start uploading your file").

"If I upload multiple files (which worked well) I want to be able to copy all the URLs at once. Displaying them in a text box would be good."

Instead of a text box there could be checkboxes next to each file allowing you to copy URLs and delete files in bulk. We'll work on adding this as soon as possible, thanks for your suggestion.
