> Say I want to program on a laptop - I can't program without access to the relevant documentation, access to download the libraries I need, and I'm often completely lost trying to debug a problem without access to SO or finding what triggers a particular error. Is this beacuse I have become over-dependent on the Internet for help, or even because I never learned how to program sans Internet? Probably, and it's a shame.

There are two issues-- smearing your computer's dev environment across the internet, and making the internet a hard dependency of your mental model for your project.

Downloading all the libs-- environment smearing problem.

Can't debug without SO-- internet dependency problem.
Great judgement. Congratulations to all the judges for their unanimity. The totalitarian, surreptitious juggernaut has been stopped in its track. But let's get real and reflect: we shouldn't be complacent. There will doubtless be any number of attempts to find ways to scupper, at least shrink, citizens' rights and privileges. In a world driven by information technology, the possibilities are legion. We need to watch out and be ever vigilant.
Top Mobile App Development Company- Synsoft Global
At larger companies its pretty easy to see where the delineation is in major pay groupings. It is a pyramid and the top two layers are often paid a lot more (per person) than the rest.

Working at a smaller company (~100-200) it is really hard to know where you stand and what opportunities there are for a promotion/major pay increase.

You may often read on here and elsewhere that you should job change every 2 years and you will see significant pay increases. Major pay bumps in my mind are 10-20% more. This only works to a point and will plateau.

Once you are a senior enough you are in the "top" tier for that role and other paths are actually different skills. Management is not engineering and consulting isn't all engineering either.
When the US Pentagon website has been hacked quite recently, some in this Government think they can make the Aadhaar data completely secure.
Unfortunately, The bounty from the tor project isn't nearly as much

It sounds like it's a privacy leak, but not an RCE/SBX? Especially as it's saying that the sandboxed version of Tor isn't affected.

Bit sad that you can't click the revisions on https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23044#no2 to see the diff.
Show HN: This Is The World – How Global Exploitation Works
The bike is shown as a red wireframe.
You can do RAID1 with more than two drives, but you'll only get two copies of each chunk of data. In this scenario, when one drive dies you can still write new data in RAID1 to the remaining space on the surviving drives, so mounting the FS writeable in degraded mode doesn't risk leaving the FS in a state where the safety is hard to determine on the next mount. If space permits, you can also rebalance before even shutting down to remove the failed drive, also avoiding the corner case.

Being able to do N-way mirroring with three or more copies of the data would be nice, but it's not necessary; 2-way mirroring across 3 or more drives is sufficient, and the hot spare feature will be more widely useful.
One must extend all rights and freedoms to their widest limits...without the concept of privacy a human being cannot become a person...in fact, the right to privacy is one of the foundations of modernity...
Hi,

This site details some ugly points about the world we live in. The goal is to convince people that there is a real and serious problem of exploitation and our work (particularly for IT people) supports it.

My hope is that there may be other like minded people who may be interested in spending their open source efforts on attacking this problem (or others like it eg. the environment). I'd rather work on these sort of projects in my spare time that have a greater purpose.

Want to help? https://github.com/scientific-defense-force/this-is-the-worl...
Yes. It's not unreasonable to cite this as an example of capitalism functioning normally. Competition produces extra money for institutions that are covering their core missions (one hopes) and also virtue signaling that they're super successful and wealthy.

You could call it greed, or simple self-interest: if the administrators have correctly perceived that the insanely wealthy will only make gifts to institutions plated in gold with peacock feathers, then their personal feelings about gold and peacock feathers are irrelevant: they can seduce the wealthy, or not, and they can win the gifts, or not.

Definitely worth study, and definitely an interesting study in perverse incentives. After a point, nothing is valued BUT gold and peacock feathers because they're so inextricably a part of doing business. And it's certainly not aimed at the students. It's aimed at the impossibly wealthy, who wish their gifts to be associated with institutions that are absurdly swanky for the students. What the students want doesn't have anything to do with it, it's purely for donors.
Isn't solving the Live Streaming issue different that the VOD issue? I mean, I know there is a large amount of overlap, but live streaming benefits greatly from what is basically multicasting. With VOD you may have every single person watching the same thing, but at different points. I think I read that HBO also uses the company that Disney bought, so they must be able to handle VOD in some form because the weekly surge of GoT watchers is likely massive.
You are tech a saavy english speaking HN reader. Now let's see what a mum from Spain that spend most of her time of facebook says.

To me Amazon has the best kids content, so add to that Netflix and HBO Kids and we're covered. I'm not shelling out more for Disney.
So? If you want to be offline you go offline. It's not like someone is forcing you to use WiFi... This seems more like a self-control problem.
>most ads on youtube really annoying,sometime extra loud to get your attention.

True. The insane loudness of youtube ads got my girlfriend to install an ad-blocker for the very first time even though she is not opposed to relevant ads at all.

Ethereum White Paper – annotated version (2015)
It used to be 30k for Firefox vs 80k for Chrome, though.

I'm thinking it's a combination of being the default, Firefox just having enabled the sandbox on Linux, and it being the base of the Tor Browser (which means Firefox exploits can sometimes be used against Tor too).

I don't buy it. iTune or netflow are very popular despite pirating even while being bloated, buggy expensive services.

Pirating is free, instant, with no DRM and no waiting time.

Creating REST Services with QEWD.js and Intersystems Caché: Tutorial
Some of the things done in order to achieve efficiency has tangible consequences on the healthiness of the food. For instance cramming many animals in a very small space (e.g. in poultry farming) increases chances of contagious diseases developing. Industry is trying to compensate using antibiotics, but that has issues also.
I hope it collapses fast and hard. Advertising is a nearly worthless vampire industry that works to suck some of the life out of other useful services. If Cisco, Qualcomm, or Texas Instruments threw in the towel, their respective industries would change forever; we would be hearing about it in a matter of minutes. The same can't be said for any advertising company other than Google, and that's not because we find Google's advertising particularly endearing. As time wears on and consumer patience for advertising wears thin, Google will need a miracle in a market that the world can't live without.
I will polish results for having an overview, probably will publish it here. I made the mistake to not specify currency from the beginning, would you mind send me the correction to make? fvbenigni@gmail.com
Again, their cloud accounts for 3% of the market. Right now, they have the $ to stay competitive. But when Amazon controls 54% of the cloud market, they simply won't be able to compete, at least not without taking resources from other places -- but those other places are drying up, and Google can't afford not to compete with Amazon.

And if Google's future is dependent on Gmail and Docs, I'm afraid their future is bleak. They certainly face very serious competition from Microsoft in these areas, and Microsoft has a lot of advantages.

But, Google's revenue is ~ $90 billion. They certainly can afford to make smart investments to avoid the fate of the dinosaur.

> Where is streetview? Business opening times? Reviews? Phone numbers? Directions? Turn-by-turn navigation? Live traffic? Historical traffic?

Traffic and street view are hard, and expensive, to do because you need to drive around the place to take photos, or to have enough data points for traffic information.

Reviews are hard because they are subjective, and how do you deal with spam, with moderation, with fake reviews, etc.

The other things? They're in OSM (to varing degrees of completness):

* Business opening times: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:opening_hours
* Phone Numbers: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:phone
* Simple 3d modelling: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/3D
* Directions/turn-by-turn has existed for a long time, e.g. on the main website itself, or software like Graphhopper or OSRM.

Yes OSM is has much less features than Google, but the OSM Foundation only has income of about £97,000 per year. Google has considerible more financial strength.
Any recommendation on tools and languages to create a DSL transpiling to javascript? Whalesong and other fully-fledged languages look like good solutions if you already know the language (Go for gopherjs) or just want to write javascript with better guarantees (typescript). How easy is it to redefine a subset of javascript from Whalesong or other *-to-javascript compiler?

I currently have to write simple javascript code, which is repetitive enough that I wrote some python helpers to generate it. I'm pretty sure a Lisp language (which are known to be good at designing DSL) could help even more, but the ecosystem is quite big for a newcomer.
Clojure Concurrency (2008) [video]
All the cryptocurrencies are pump and dump. It's a perfect space for people who normally trade currencies because they are generally not invested in the currencies.

So I wholeheartedly support pumping and dumping tons of cryptocurrencies. It has been free money for a while now.

Profiling Internet Users in Africa: Insights from the Google Play Store
Oh come on, individual salaries compete against other people offering their services (and ultimately against the choice to starve by not working for the accepted rates), and has nothing to do with the value people generate.

Of course there's nothing unusual about this, in our capitalist system (which is extremely unfair, IMHO - can you tell?), but this was supposed to be different...

The sale price pretty much represents the discrepancy between what employees (including Roy himself) should have been paid if they were getting a fair cut of the value they generated, and what they were actually paid - or at it's least a projection of that into the future.
Maybe someone should do an app that writes facebook posts for you, predicting what will be the most popular.

Or Reddit -- since the populaity of all Reddit posts is known it would be a good training set for such an AI :-)

In practice, Google have very few different revenue streams. They do a lot of different things, but advertising makes up the biggest portion of revenue and search market share is what locks up that market.

Nope. Scandinavia.

The answer depends very much if you're looking at median salary or 'peak' salary. It also matters if you're talking before or after taxes. Median pre-tax dev. salaries are almost certainly higher in Scandinavia (or at least in Norway and Denmark), but you'll never earn what some of the top devs in finance in London earn.
Looks like this one is specifically for the Fremont 2 data center (though like you said, I imagine it's possible elsewhere or comparable). Thanks!
You can mine alt-currencies on some exchanges which pay out in bitcoin. This allows you to "mine" bitcoin on unfeasible hardware.

Along those lines is a service called "NiceHash". They basically sell your PC's "hashing ability" on various algorithms to buyers.

This ends up acting like you the "seller" of hashing power getting paid in bitcoin to hash whatever altcoin is most profitable at the moment.

They have an auto-switching GUI client for windows, and allow you to point basically any miner that they support the algorithm at their service and get paid in bitcoin at a roughly comparable rate to mining the actual coin.
Say a company buys and sells insider trading information... Would it be legal?

So why is buying/selling 0 days OK?

Both are selling information that will be used wrongly in the wrong hands, the kind of information you don't want a "broker" to know about, the kind of information you don't want a broker to find clients for.

And if there's only one potential buyer (the target), they're basically black mailing 0 days targets: "become a client or... who knows what will happen... maybe the NSA or hackers will buy it?"

Actually, I completely agree with your position. If you dont want ANY benefit, you should absolutely have the freedom to excuse yourself. The problem is that in a country like India 99% of the people do depend on some benefit or the other.

Not sure if you are aware, but the context around this specific discussion in India is around the use of Aadhar for targeted govt. assistance. The govt. position is pretty much that we need Aadhar for any subsidy and the courts are arguing against it.
Which raid level were you using over those multiple disks? I've been using btrfs and never even experienced a hiccup despite continuous sector failures, continuous drive failures and even disk controllers disconnecting on the fly. And I've been running the whole thing on a single, fairly weak, server with second-hand disks attached over the cheapest USB3 sata adapters I've found. By all accounts I've been putting btrfs in a situation that is well outside the norm and I have 0 complaints. I also use it on my desktop (no raid) with similar experience (minus the shitty hardware).

I am continuously amazed at the amount of people who have issues with btrfs. It's been absolutely rock solid over the time I've used it and I have 0 complaints (apart from the ext4 -> btrfs converter producing a corrupted btrfs filesystem, but the actual kernel btrfs code itself has been flawless).
