> Mr. Schulte had been charged last year in New York with possession of child pornography.

The fact that they found child porn on his computer is the scariest part. Almost any technical person could frame almost anyone else with CP possession. It's just a matter of putting some files on a computer and/or faking some logs, browser history, etc.

It would be incredibly trivial for the CIA to put CP on his computer and then use that as a method of getting him into custody. A rogue agent could do it without anyone else knowing.

The frightening aspect of CP possession is that there's basically no one willing to even hear out a person charged with the crime. It's the perfect thing to frame someone with precisely because it's so revolting and hard to disprove.

CP possession laws should be changed to put much more onus on the state. It possibly should not even be a felony to merely posses simply because of how hard it is to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Production of CP is clearly the main problem and far easier to be confident in prosecuting.
Yep. It's not a github problem, it is a problem with the code mixing tabs and spaces for indentation.

It never ceases to amaze me just how many programmers don't understand tabs. I guess it's because they look like spaces Or because every programmer at some point got bitten by the issue but instead of learning how to use tabs correctly learnt that tabs are evil.

The tabs vs spaces war is all just a massive misunderstanding due to some people (the spaces people) not understanding tabs (and not understanding that nobody is advocating using tabs for alignment purposes).
That's excellent news. ATS is one of the best languages out there. It used to beat C in the shootout benchmarks, and adds much better security and types than C/C++.

I'll try to use in my next embedded job, where they do just C.
Very interesting — I'd like to try this. Do you have any sense of whether this is as reliable as counting by one, two or three? That is, if you were counting out something really important, would you do it this way? Was there much of a learning curve?
This is a very old thought. Both LBJ and MLK understood this, at least in the context of racism as a tool to divide the lower and middle classes of society. You've probably heard this quote, attributed to LBJ:

> If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.
We had 8086 IBM machines in our typing class. I remember writing a program to send random bits to the big dot matrix printer. I'd keep a buffer and when the printer did something strange I'd save the buffer and replay it till I isolated the sequence. When a substitute would show up the printer would put on a show ;)
This is why the red/blue election map broken down by county is so stark and shocking. I grew up in and still have friends/family in a rural area and there is no optimism for earning a decent living for most people. And this is a sunbelt state with explosive growth in its cities.

Can't sympathize with their political views but I do sympathize with wanting to blow the system up and try something different. Things are going to go south real fast if/when the same trend of disappearing jobs starts happening in cities too.
Depending on her interests, "not remotable" might be more significant than "more demand than supply." If there's a persistent long-term supply/demand imbalance then something will change that, be it a change that eliminates or drastically reduces the demand or something that changes how the supply is provided (e.g. automation).
Gibson is a much better prose stylist than most of his SF-writing peers. Neuromancer shows his influences off pretty clearly (Robert Stone, William Burroughs, and a healthy dose of noir a la Hammett and Chandler), but cooks the resulting gumbo into something remarkable.

Ask HN: Why has Intel stock been rallying?
Over the past 6 months Intel has had some pretty damning news come out. Massive leaks requiring patches and possible architecture changes, CEO snafu's and him stepping down, but the stock seems higher than ever*

Is this just because the economy is hot? Intel is impervious to such worries? Something else?

They're commonly used that way because of how they're marketed. The idea is that it's probably fine if you're acquiring these in lots on Alibaba the way you would a bundle of sapphire crystal rods or whatever, but it is not OK to sell them on a site that has a streamlined checkout flow and exists to promote the magnets as entertainment.

In other words: it'd be OK if they were sold if you specifically had to know what you were looking for to get them, just like with LN.

(Obviously this is all a moot point now.)
The feds are notorious for doing stuff like that. Just look at how they were trying to bag assange with rape charges back when he was on the run. Also look at how they prosecute bigger criminals. They dont go after them for smuggling or drug dealing. It is always tax fraud, wire fraud etc. They dont care what crime you committed as long as they get the person behind bars.
Please don't make comments like this.
They don't contribute to HN in an intellectually gratifying way.

Crickets from all of the "news" outlets that pointed to this incident as more "proof" of a Russia-Wikileaks partership. Very much like the Sony hack, which was widely attributed to North Korea (again, without a shred of evidence), you can be sure that there will be very few, if any, mea-culpas issued by those media organizations that uncritically swallowed DC/CIA misinformation and reported that misinformation as fact. Hopefully this episode will serve as an important reminder to everyone that they should always remains skeptical, of everything, until presented with proof they can independently verify, instead of mindlessly accepting basless claims that happen to agree with popular narratives.
The old options were worthless because the acquisition price per share was below your strike?

You've probably noticed artists develop thousands and thousands of themes/mockups/designs for every possible use including admin. For example, https://themeforest.net/category/site-templates/admin-templa....

Would there be any practical way to provide them with some simple markup that allowed marking up their designs such that some sort of scaffolding tool could be used to convert it into a starter project for various frameworks/languages/etc?

Yes some of them come with bootstrap or whatever framework files, but if it were generalized it would be possible create a configurator/generator/scaffolder that would allow many more options and combinations.

It seems like Wix and SquareSpace have some sort of proprietary version of this. Where you pick a template, customize it, and then directly use it for development, but of course only using their tools, which as has been discussed here quickly run into limitations for non-trivial sites/apps.

This is all off the cuff thinking, I haven't put much though into what potential markup or a DSL would look like. However, maybe even a small set of options available as an open standard could provide a great deal of flexibility and be easy to use for artists and designer who are not that technical.

Maybe it could also be possible a start for an ecosystem of tooling to make use of it across a variety of development environments, not just "bootstrap and gulp included".

If it's plausible, hasn't been done, and has enough interest I'd be willing to take a pass at a draft spec that could at least help people realize what not to do :).
>central banks are printing exponential debt money from nothing

Source? Didn’t QE end a while ago?
Do you mind me asking what the interest rate on your and your wife's student loan debt is?
He can hire someone to do that for far less than his 100k salary (even after taxes). There are possibly further issues that OP left out of his post but as written it is a bit confusing.
Which again is completely irrelevant to the point I’m making.
I have a friend who's a bit conspiracy minded. He thinks the powers that be responded to Occupy by simultaneously pushing far-left and far-right identity politics to split everyone into tiny warring factions.

I'm skeptical but regardless of whether it was intentional or just happened that does in fact seem to be what happened.

The culture war must die. Then after it's dead it must be burned, ground into fine powder, mixed with concrete, and dropped into a deep region of the ocean near a subduction zone.

Unfortunately that means everyone and I mean everyone who is culture-warring must give up and walk away. That means no more social justice warrior-ing and no more Pepe memes and alt-right tiki torch bullshit either. That means ignoring Jordan Peterson and Sam Seder. That means screw religion and atheism. That means screw the left and the right. That means... well... it kind of means everyone simultaneously loses whatever culture war they're fighting... or simultaneously wins... but you have to not care so much you don't even care about that.

I don't know. Maybe it can happen. Try this. Every time you're tempted to get mad about the "alt-right" or alternately "cultural Marxism" just stare at this graph and ask "who benefits from me worrying about this crap?"

https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-imlQvrT-aFM/Ve9yY1CAV9I/AAAAAAAAM...

I will say this. As long as we are split over issues like race, gender, religion, and cultural totems the longer that graph will diverge.
I would argue that the wealth gap is symptomatic of a degeneration of culture and education in this country. I am in my late 20s, and even when I was graduating it was apparent that most students in my cohort simply were not leaving school with the skills to function as adults, let alone be productive members of society.

Same in college, 18-21 year old children. And now these same children look desperately for others to blame, while in reality we have a growing proportion of incompetent workers performing increasingly meaningless tasks, walled away behind miles of red tape and a Goliath of bureaucracy.

American popular culture places little value on education and self-improvement. The windfall that was WWII is dwindling, while other nations take steps to optimize the very parts of their labor pipeline that we in the U.S. neglect.

Millennials are waking up to a decline that they are ill-equipped to reverse. Twitter, Facebook, et al. are only hastening the degradation of western culture, accelerating an existing, emergent glamorization of shallow materialism over knowledgeability and competence.
It's my impression that Supreme Court justices write their opinions however the hell they want... as a practical matter if the votes were going the other way he probably would have written a "dissenting concurrence" rather than a "concurring dissent".

It seems easy - and everyone balks about it - but hardly anyone considers what a major medical event can do to your health, your esteem, your loved ones, and your financial situation; all in one fell swoop.
> I feel like the biggest criticism I can make of Gibson is that he plots.

Interesting. I've seen him twice at book signings and both times he said that he specifically does not plot beforehand. He starts with characters and "follows" them through the story. He did say he often ends up at a certain in the novel where he has to chart out what's going on so he can finish though. On the other hand, if I remember correctly he's said he's a fan of old-school pulp sci-fi which has a lot of plotting and he's perfectly fine with that even if it offends lit-crit types.

> If people would stop and make an honest assessment of their situation, why they're not where they want to be, commit to grinding until they get there, and actually DO IT...things would be better.

Hear Hear.

I have to admit, I'm blessed. Good job with good co-workers. Amazing wife. Great family/church/community. Yet, I really need to do this. I'm not where i should be, and it's do to my own laziness/procrastination/etc. It's too easy to blame someone else for my own shortcomings.

PS - Here is a related quote I've been reflecting on recently about my habit of procrastination. So far, it's been quite helpful.

"If I'm honest about it, the actions I've engaged in today satisfy my short-term pleasures rather than my long-term goals."
I commented just before you, so you probably didn't see it. But Houston mandates parking minumum, setbacks of houses, very wide roads, and long blocks.

Those are all pro-sprawl. My dense, walkable neighbourhood in Montreal would be illegal in Houston.

I think you are missing the point a little as that is not an apt comparison. The "driver" was not operating the vehicle. They were tasked with monitoring it's function to step in and take control if something went wrong but humans are notoriously bad at this exact task. Now I definitely believe the person is culpable here but it's also murky based on how Uber instructed them to operate the vehicle and how much they said you can trust the autonomous driving features.

Apple Launches Repair Program for Faulty MacBook Keyboards
I'm sorry about your personal struggles, and hope things look up for you and your wife soon.

There is something that millennials together can do differently, though -- vote.

Millenial turnout is terribly low in the US. https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2016/05/16/pew2ft_16.05.13_...
(So, yes, one party has made it a mission to suppress turnout; yes, Election Day is a work day, which makes it harder for working people to vote; etc. -- we can change all that, but first we have to work in the system as it is today.)
And that means that boomers and the wealthy have had a much larger influence over society than young people. (The Piketty theory is that the West went through a few decades of stability after the 1970s and that made many people complacent, especially the young, allowing the wealthy and corporations to acquire power. Given the last two years, the time for complacency is ending.)

In particular, a better social safety net and a better education cost and education loan system would make for a fairer playing field for all. The only way you and I in America are going to get that is if we all vote - especially young people.

And in your particular case, the biggest travesty is the non-dischargeability of educational debt. That's a hard problem - both universities and the loan companies are at fault for lobbying for and setting up this system. But we need to fix it.

Again sorry for your current situation and I hope it looks up soon.
OP said "central banks", as in plural. The ECB, BOJ, and SNB are doing a bang-up job to inflate global asset prices. As for the Fed, their balance sheet unwind rate has been a mere rounding error thus far.
Perhaps their TOS said that the contract could be canceled automatically if there was a change in control. That's not uncommon.
One of the leaks describes methods for doing just this.

I was afraid to open the comments here. Very happy I was wrong.
I mean

1 dec == 1 unit (1x1^0)
2 dec == 11 unit (1x1^0 + 1x1^1)
3 dec == 111 unit (1x1^0 + 1x1^1 + 1x1^2)

etc. Just like the other bases, with "1" instead of "2" or "10".

Well, maybe not "just like", the digit I have to use to represent each power of 1 is 1 and not 0, but I think that's a small concession.

The MtGox database was hacked and leaked in 2014, including balance info. It's available here:

DO NOT USE THE EXECUTABLE IN /backoffice/Bin/TibanneBackOffice.zip - IT IS MALWARE

Unzip /backoffice/Exports/mtgox_balances.zip.

Given that Identity Politics is "in vogue" these days, there is no reason to think "Identity Consumerism" won't work the same way. You can ride the wave, but it has nothing to do with "better way to do laundry".
Medical costs are insane, even with insurance. My wife had a serious illness and our out of pocket expenses were around $300K over the course of 3-4 years. That doesn't count the lost wages from leaving her job. We could absorb it only because of the ridiculous compensation I've been lucky enough to get during the last few years.
I think you mean tack—“a method of dealing with a situation or problem; a course of action or policy.”
I live in Germany and cash is still the preferred here. My small town near Cologne only started to adopt credit card about 6 years ago. When we arrive, the only shop that would take credit card was the petrol stations franchises.
Yeah and it sounds like he still has to stand trial in Japan and could possibly go back to jail:

“I have no way to be sure that I’ll still be able to work in one year, two years,” Karpelès told Fortune in an interview in Tokyo in March. “So I cannot really get a normal full-time job.” In other words, he acknowledges, he may be sent back to jail. (For the full tale of how the Mt. Gox hack mystery has unfolded, see my feature story “Mt. Gox and the Surprising Redemption of Bitcoin’s Biggest Villain” from the May issue of Fortune.)

But whether it’s what he considers “normal” or not, Karpelès recently did land a new job—and a major one, as a C-level executive at a U.S. corporation. He’s the new chief technology officer of London Trust Media, a Denver-based company that boasts the world’s largest paid virtual private network (VPN) service."[1]

Sounds like a great choice.

I am the same person as me who submitted it a month ago; guilty as charged. Seximal sounded quite interesting and the HN mods agreed, asking me to repost [0] it in manner described by hliyan (no relation) and dang. This is not the first time they asked me to do that, though more often I repost stuff out of my own volition. My submitted log is really a catalog of interesting things I find on the internet that I occasionally revisit and repost with a thought "more people should hear about this and I want to hear what they have to say about it". You are welcome to browse through it [1] and repost things you like. Maybe you will even get to the front page!

Regarding your search for a non-video link in the grandchild comment, you are in luck. Read about seximal here [2] and make sure to click through the hamburger menu, that's where the meat of the website is at. Unfortunately the website and the video content is not fully overlapping so you kinda have to watch and read both for the fullest understanding of seximal.

I knew that. I was just having fun with the misappropriation of the term "crypto."
I know, I'm wondering whether anyone's looked into it in the context of the occupy wall street movement. The popular consciousness was so strongly diverted at the point it began to threaten elite interests that it's at least noteworthy, yet I've never really seen it talked about much.

It may just be an artifact of the rise of social media, although I'm not sure that the timelines really match up very well. I just want to see if anyone's really looked into it because I don't even know where to start with something like that, but it's been playing on my mind for a few months now.
I did a quick look, and balance info appears to be available through 2014-02-25, if the 'stamp' field in the mtgox_balances file is to be trusted.
