The irony is that when I look up lyrics it's because I want to know the name of the song and the artist, not to steal copyrighted lyrics. If you hear a song you like, remember a few of the lyrics, but don't know the name, how are you supposed to buy it? Well, you could have searched on the lyrics, but apparently not any more. These people are clueless.
What are the odds that those coincidences all lined up, and, given the number of planets in the Universe, how many of them are like ours? (Drake, of course.)

"Phone" is Greek for "voice", so perhaps a different name would be in order.

But neither "mobile" nor "cell" says anything about voice in particular, so I would think they are suitable terms for "portable communication device connected to a cellular network" even when the device primarily deals with non-voice services.
It's pretty obvious when you watch the keynote, and realize that the list of recommended artists are all ones that Jobs flashed for a few seconds while diddling around in "his" library in each product demo.
I used to know Jim Buckmaster, the CEO of CL back in the day in Ann Arbor. He dated my sister for several years.

Any ways Jim is a really smart and together guy, and I would suspect in his heart that he takes a pretty dim view of people who shop for sex. At the same time I know him to be a person of principle and I suspect those principles are some type of Chomskyan libertarianism. BTW I wonder what Chomsky would say w.r.t. this controversy.

Clearly you have two opposing principles. One is free speech, the other is something that most feel is inherently exploitative and should be minimized.

Any ways, I suspect that CL gets more heat because they go against the grain of common corporate culture. Like I said, Jim is a man of principle.
You can also import your own videos into iTunes, and then sync them with the iPad. Then, later, when you want to watch them, you can stream them from the iPad to the Apple TV. It basically turns the iPad into a pretty, portable hard disk for the TV.

I assume iTunes will still retain AirTunes/AirPlay/whatever as well, so your computer will also still be able to stream your "custom, imported and re-encoded" (i.e. pirated) media to the new Apple TV—but you'll be more likely to have brought your iPad to a friend's house than your laptop, if you didn't pre-plan watching some videos together.
> I don't know why foreigners still come to America

We don't, mostly. I used to come to NY every two years, used to love the city. Now I go elsewhere. Haven't been there in six years and I don't think I'll be back. This is a big world, there are other places to see; America is abusive at home just as it is elsewhere.

Flying in Europe is still acceptable; in Germany the local TSA let you carry almost anything on board (and joke about it).

> Maybe they weren't so consumed about fighting with each other since they had a common enemy to focus on.

<rant>

And who would this “common enemy” be? The Spiel that white people considered black people their enemies during Apartheid is a bit incorrect (yet a popular sentiment in the west).

It is ironic that statistically, the plight of the majority of black people is now far worse in SA than during Apartheid (life expectancy, income inequality, unemployment, infancy mortality, matric pass rate, TIMSS score, etc…). Apartheid (i.e. separate development and rule for all ethnic and cultural groups) as an ideology is failed (mostly due to industrial development which caused South Africa to become a scrambled egg of people). Yet the ideology of full democracy (i.e. tyranny of the majority) is also spectacularly failing. Yet no one would acknowledge the latter failings.

<\rant>

> I'm somewhat convinced we're at the point in the US where the opposition party (either one) would sabotage the plan for short term political gain.

But in any case, I digress. You are right about this part. Everyone is NIMBY. The problem is also that using coal to make fuel would release CO2. And this is counter to the ideology of the far left (which only wants non-practical solutions to be implemented).

The USA landed people on the moon in less than a decade. I am sure that if they put their minds to it, they can expand nuclear power generation significantly (to reduce CO2) and start to make a significant part of their liquid fuel requirement from coal.

Is it unreasonable to conclude if he had just closed his laptop the incident would have never happened? Landing is a very stressful time for the flight staff. It's really not the best time to do the "just a second" routine which inevitably turns into 1-2 minutes or more. Maybe the flight attendant overreacted but I feel like we're missing some basic human courtesy here. We shouldn't be making someone's job harder and more stressful at the worst time and then act surprised when they get mad. I tend to side with the figure of authority in those situations. You know in the flight attendant's mind they're playing out the scenario of coming back 1-2 minutes later and asking again just to be told "one more second" again knowing if they fail to do their job they might get into trouble. Maybe they're not too tech savvy and truly believe these devices pose some real safety risk. They're on edge anticipating the passenger making an ugly scene. In this case there was a follow-up incident which probably came across to the flight attendant as baiting. In the end it was resolved without any real harm?
Ask HN: How do you manage server access?
We are working on a web project which requires 8 servers. Some are web, some middleware, some database. How to best manage SSH/Security Access?

What are the best ways to manage access to ensure security?

Team members join in, leave later. How do you manage access at an individual user level? How do you make sure this does not get unwieldy as the no. of servers increase and the team members are transient?

Thanks
I think the point of paying for first class is to exclude the possibility of all possible hick-ups before, during, and after the flight.
And don't forget that at ~$200 / barrel oil from tar sands becomes viable. The oil will be flowing for some time yet.
There are other ways to reprimand someone. Do we really need to arrest someone for "not closing their laptop quick enough"? Should we start arresting people who drive 5mph over the speed limit? Seems like when we're in the air, there are certain flight attendants that lose all their common sense. I have a feeling this stuff never happened before the "security theater" created from 9/11.
From what a policeman friend of mine told me, the busts they spend all their time on have the reverse of that story: a local gang/mob forms, and then, since they're already assaulting and murdering to keep their place in the criminal underbelly of the city, and since they know their shit well enough to be getting away with it, they can run as many side-businesses as they like doing other, lesser illegal deeds, because they've already ensured their protection. This is pride before a fall, because these lesser crimes—especially if they involve non-group others, like prostitutes or drug mules—can be the cracks in the dam that allow the police to nab them.
> since it's just HTML and CSS

I've tried gadgets like this many times (though nothing as cool as that buckyball) and it's been my experience every time. It's slow because it's just HTML and CSS.
I guess my point is not that the flight attendant was wrong but rather that they're both idiots for getting in an argument over nothing.

I don't think it's fair to pass judgment on the company based on the actions of 1 unenlightened steward on a bad day.
Except the stimulus didn't kill tens of thousands and drove many thousands others into extremism. That makes it a far lesser evil imho.
Skill and perseverance.

A "lucky break" is more likely to come along if you keep at it for a decade than if you give up after the first non-successful year.

I think skill comes in two forms: The skill of making something that people want to use, but also the skill of recognizing and making the most out of "lucky breaks".

He did quite a few things himself that didn't help the situation. Leaving the overhead bin open because he was in a rush is silly; it doesn't take more than 2 seconds to close. Telling the attendant to go ahead and call the cops is unnecessary, arrogant, and childish. Showing the attendant his computer turned off lifting it off the table as if he/she needed a tutorial in how to tell if your computer is powered off is also childish.

Both parties here contributed to this situation.
I like the term "node"—short for "communications node"—as a general term for things you have in your pocket that give you WAN access. An iPhone is a node and a computer (nodeputer? interactive node? smartnode?) An iPod Touch is just a portable computer, and it connects to a MiFi node in my other pocket.
It's hard to predict what a malfunctioning radio might do. Maybe you could build a device to DoS specific flight control frequencies? Aren't the transmitters/receivers inside the plane? If the external antenna is picking up -80dB and you're blasting out 100dB 20ft away from the reciever who knows? There are probably other precautions to stop this but aviation safety employs a lot of redundancy.
The fact he had multiple other passengers from first class not only sticking up for him immediately after, but formally including themselves in the police report, is a strong indication of where right lay here.

Why is pre-boarding security an absolute joke? The phrase "security theater" gets thrown around a lot, but I have not heard well articulated arguments as to why current security procedures are ineffective, and more importantly have not heard constructive suggestions on how to improve pre-boarding security.

How would you design security procedures? Which procedures out of the ones that are used currently are ineffective and why? Which ones are effective and why? Which ones should we add that aren't being used currently? Will they reduce average pre-boarding time per customer? Increase it? How will that affect overall air traffic and scheduling? Will they improve safety? Reduce safety? How do you go about quantifying that? What standards are you using? How do you propose to train the security personnel in the new procedures? How much will it cost? Is there a cost/benefit analysis? Is it a qualitative matter where cost benefit analysis does not apply and it's a question of ideology? In that case, are there other ideological issues with the current system of government we should rather spend our time and resources on fixing?

With all due respect, it seems that every time I see people make an argument about airport security online, they blow the inconvenience completely out of proportion, make hand-wavy arguments that appear appealing on the surface but have absolutely no substance, and reduce a very complex problem to what does not appear to be a viable solution even at the slightest scrutiny. It's easy to criticize a working system someone has built. It's much harder to design a better one that can be reasonably implemented in practice.

If you have an IQ that is average...and that is the majority of the people...then please don't pretend to try to know what it is like to be 40 to 50 points higher than you in IQ !!! That is ridiculous. You might as well say that you know what it is like to be mentally retarded because they have and IQ that is 40 to 50 points lower than you.

I also suggest that you try to have some empathy for people who are this smart rather than to feel CONTINUALLY and CONSTANTLY threatened by them as they COULD POSSIBLY LEAD YOU out of the problems this society experiences regularly. Don't make enemies of people who are this smart. It is unwise and as the title of this post suggests and is also true to form....S T U P I D !!!
When I read this post, I thought the whole thing was a just a weird metaphor. I saw the picture at the top, but since there was no explanation in the article of why the pony was in the store, I thought the author had simply photoshopped the pony in. It was only after seeing all these comments taking the claim so seriously that I realized the guy really had seen a pony in the Apple Store.

Mexico has fairly broad prohibitions on private ownership of firearms. Mexico has a fairly high rate of firearms being used for antisocial behavior. Switzerland, on the other hand mandates that a significant portion of its population keep assault rifles and ammunition at home. Switzerland has a fairly low rate of firearms being used for antisocial behavior.

It seems to me that prohibition of firearms has fairly little direct effect on firearm-related crime. There may be other differences between Mexico and Switzerland worth considering as explanations for the difference in crime rates, and it seems likely that similar factors might better exp.lain crime rates in other countries.
And it all woulda, coulda, shoulda happened already, if only everyone had taken to the net to the same degree that the futurist authors of those books did. The one thing they never could have predicted was that was that a lot of the people who spent all day online would be doing so because they were unpopular, thus driving a correlation between cyber-community and anti-social tendencies that has stigmatized that possible future to this day. The one thing that made me hopeful again was the ads Blizzard ran with famous, popular, pretty, celebrity-type people saying they play WoW—but we'd need a lot more of that before grandma is jacking in.
> It's rather ridiculous to me how they can shut-down the notion of the "coincidences" that make Earth so extremely unique to support life.

You mean to "support life as we know it". It's perfectly possible that under different laws of physics, life would still exist, that is to say, reproducible organisms could still exist but under a totally different form. Under the laws of physics of our universe, life exist as it is because this how the laws allow it to exist.

" The precise placement of the moon, the composition of our core to generate perfect magnetic fields, etc."

How precise are you defining these to be? The Moon's distance from earth increases yearly for example. The magnetic field fluctuates over time, possibly causing havoc to migrating animals. This argument seems like a confusion of cause and effect.

Well, the two procedures that get my goat are: (1) everybody take off your shoes because one guy tried to blow up his shoe ten years ago; (2) the asinine rules around liquids and gels because some nutcases in the UK were chattering about JITting themselves some explosives but never actually got close to figuring out how. Both of these rules seem premised on the idea that terrorists are clever enough to come up with those diabolical schemes, but too stupid to concoct any new ones, so we can just plug yesterday's holes. Since that's obviously dumb, who are the rules really designed for? Who else but the general public? They (we) are the ones who heard about those plots and in whose minds the images stuck. In other words: security theater. Note also that the most recent such dude tried to blow up his underwear, yet no rules involving underwear have been promulgated. Why the inconsistency? Public sensibility: we're willing to tolerate our shoes being inspected but not our panties. It's difficult otherwise to explain why the security repertoire should be organized around something terrorists did 10 years ago rather than what they did 6 months ago.

Someone (Schneier?) said that two things have contributed to genuine security post-9/11: locked cockpits and passenger alertness. I've heard a number of airline industry people say the same thing, e.g. that pilot guy who writes for Slate. This makes sense to me. But what do I know? I'm just a guy who stands in the line fuming at the stupidity of it all, reminding myself to breathe deeply and not say anything sarcastic lest I get hauled off to the back room.
Paying for first class doesn't give you the right to compromise the safety of the flight.
Having grown older, I've become more and more convinced that spending a lot of time in cyberspace is a fundamentally bad idea. Using technology to enhance my life in the real world? Fantastic. Using technology to escape into a virtual world? Doesn't sound healthy.
"As a medium, 3D remains remarkably self-trivializing. Virtually nobody who works with it can resist thrusting stuff at the camera, just to make clear to viewers that they’re experiencing the miracle of the third dimension."

Reminds me of a film class a took. The professor explained how when prerecorded sound was first introduced into film, the movies ended up people just talking to each other. It took some time for them to get over the novelty of the technology and use it artfully.

But I agree. 3D is way over-marketed and overhyped.
Well, now we're talking in terms of relativity. You're saying that it's not 'horrible abuse' because it is standard treatment, but this says nothing of whether or not standard treatment is 'horrible abuse.' For example,

The Jews that weren't killed in the concentration camps "didn't have
it so bad" compared to the ones were. But this says nothing of whether
or not overall treatment of Jews in concentration camps was good or bad.

This headline seems rather prejudicial to Ressi in light of what he says was the story, and in light of the fact that he was interrogated for an hour, not arrested - there's a huge difference. "Arrested" means Ressi did something terrible enough to get booked, and there will be corresponding inferences about what happened on the flight. Ressi was "detained", not arrested.

> If a women is not a victim of sex slavery or underage, it seems absurd that she could be charged with a crime for selling something she can legally give away for free.

Agreed. Especially because I think arguably many woman who are not technically prostitutes do give sex in exchange for money, gifts or other material things. There may not be a difference in kind but in degree. (This holds for men too, in other areas, I think.)

I guess I don't do it much anymore (posting on forums like this notwithstanding), but I'm not sure I've changed my mind overall. There's a certain kind of community that BBSs, along with medium-sized Usenet groups / webforums / mailing lists / etc. gave, that is somewhat different from IRL kinds of communities, and also different from both very small online communities (people you already know) and very large online communities (places like reddit, Slashdot, and HN). Not to promote a replacement of rl with cyberspace, but I think it's an interesting experiment where something is lost by it not persisting.
