What is your point?

A significant number of people don't use DNSSEC because they're tied to DNS services which don't support it. And that is an argument for creating more services without support for it?
The American. A quiet, mature film, the way they used to make them.
I didn't down vote, but I don't think the issue isn't as black and white as you're suggesting. Let me offer an alternative possibility:

The "bad guys" fail to act on this information and instead a group of newly informed (politicians|non-profit watchdogs|citizens|concerned corporations|supranational organizations) affect some change that reduces our reliance on such a small number of facilities.

Without this leak, a lot of very influential "good guys" might not know this danger even existed.

My point is that the "bad guys successfully act on this information" scenario is only one of many, not all of them bad.
I'm really hating Youtube's ads.

A pre-roll commercial is almost as annoying as 20 seconds of buffering in RealPlayer 10 years ago. Couple that with the mandatory re-showing of the same ad when I try to skip forward, it's a piss poor user experience in 2010.

GREEN DESIGN : AN EXPERIENCE AT iDREAM
Observing the history of architecture closely, one realizes that Ancient Greek and Roman builders, Renaissance and Enlightenment architects, and architects of the Modern movement understood and practiced the usage of locally available materials, using natural light thereby making the building self sufficient, long before energy was an issue and long before anyone used the word “sustainability.”

You missed "may" before "makes" in the second part of your statement.
He contradicts his argument in the first paragraphs.

1) Obese people tend to be weight stable for long periods of their life, just like lean people. So when they’re weight stable, the obese and overweight are obviously in energy balance.

2) If you gain 40 pounds of fat over 20 years, that’s an average of two pounds of excess fat accumulation every year. Since a pound of fat is roughly equal to 3500 calories, this means you accumulate roughly 7000 calories worth of fat every two years. Divide that 7000 by 365 and you get the number of calories of fat you stored each day and never burned roughly 19 calories.
No such thing as bad publicity. Seriously, I don't think Amazon will even notice the tiniest drop in sales, that's just not how it works.
I work at a TV station in the bay area, this is total bullshit. I have a dial that controls the volume of both the TV shows, and the spots. Fuck the TV station, I CONTROL YOUR TV!! Jk, I just don't care to turn the dial down every commercial break (we have really old equipment). Every spot and show has a slightly different volume, except the British comedies. Wtf is up with that? Those things fucking blow up my airwaves. Why do you do that to me BBC?
But it is a market failure. The market for television shows is very far from perfectly competitive.

The products are very differentiated, and there are only a few companies providing the products. But the differentiation is really what matters in this case.

As much as everyone hates loud commercials, channels can't actually gain significant viewership by quieting them down--no one is going to watch a drama with quiet commercials when they really want to be watching the football game with loud commercials.

This means that there's no incentive for a channel to piss off their advertisers by doing this on their own.

This is what governments are for--mandating the socially optimal strategy when the dominant strategy is something else.
Anathem was one of the rare novels that when I read enough to get into it I was utterly delighted that there was so much of the book still to read.

I've even bought some of the music tracks by David Stutz:

Profits from this go to the Long Now Foundation - which is very appropriate given then themes in the book.

This is one of those posts that crops up every month or so. In this case, I think it's deserved. That truly is an incredible resource.
Daemon and Freedom are very good. The only problem I had (at it is pretty minor) is that for an AI that keeps asserting that it is just a canned set of production rules (i.e. wait until <something> happens then do <stuff>) it seems to possess a remarkable degree of general intelligence.
Well, there is more to plaque and thus caries than just one enzyme no matter how much it gets hyped up. I've done quite a bit of research on this and the short answer is that it is a complex interaction between many different bacteria (a large percentage of which we cannot grow in the lab) and the human host. Yes different genetics seem to be make people more or less resistant to caries and different habits play a key role. Also we know of some bacterial genes that when knocked out result in less or no plaque in the lab, but again, it's only one type of bacterium. In the mouth, if you somehow managed to (legally, ethically, and technically) introduce such mutant bacteria, it is likely that another one will produce the plaque and you're off again. It is just not easy to fix.

So trying to spin that this one enzyme from only one type of bacteria found in plaque is responsible for caries and that it is the nail that holds this complex in place is a bit premature and silly.
Yes, it's the new behaviour that he's talking about.
In my personal experience, I haven't deliberately forced ideas, however that could potentially work.

One thing may be to become aware of when you have ideas - I've found I have my best ideas when I'm not sat at my laptop.

The ideas for my two startups came when I built something for myself and found that others wanted it too. These were little problems (at first).

I think a final important thing that comes to mind is that if you have even a twinkle of an idea, then grab onto it with both hands, and work with it. My latest app was a tiny idea and I developed it in just over a month and a half into something of value and I've now just had my first customer. Work with the ideas and eventually you'll find yourself swamped with things to build upon that single idea.

Hope that helps.

It's amazing what you can get accomplished with a team size of one.

For me it boils down to being able to fit the entire codebase into your head, or at the very least have it all written in your own voice. Reading code and packing it into your brain is the hardest part of programming, so having it all written in your own familiar style makes it really easy to get back up to speed on any bit of the project, even if you haven't visited it in a while.

Having even one other developer in there making changes can throw you out of speed-reading mode and make you stop and figure out what the other guy was thinking. That slows you down, and slowing down opens the door to distraction, which leads to bad things.

It gets really good when you're working by yourself on a project for which you're providing the direction. That removes the last roadblock from productivity, the "boss requested change".
Not immediately, no. You can't really just stop using AWS and switch overnight. In the long term, this will factor in decisions whether to expand on AWS or for someone starting new, just like other factors like price, benfits, and lock-in.
"Debka is thought to be an Israeli counterintelligence operation, so take its writing with a grain of salt."

That's highly unlikely. Here in Israel, the original Debka File (http://www.debka.co.il/) is considered a speculation site at best, a hoax at worst. Most people consider it just a hangout of conspirators and paranoids, and it's almost never treated seriously.

So don't read too much into it :)

Would be much, much more interesting if they provided a couple of sample theorems.

On the other hand, I'm guessing that in that case even fewer people would buy the product.
On a related note, it would be great to have a listing of all the service providers who do have comprehensive support for open APIs over SSL. Here are a few to get the list started:

* Bing Maps

* Facebook

* GitHub
Tch. Sorry you feel that way. I like his stuff.
I find it disappointing that this is on the main page of HN. Not really relevant to why I'm coming to read this site.
This is kind of what happens anyway. If you let a domain expire, there is still a 'grace period' where you can renew it before it becomes available for someone else to buy. So, in those terms, the expiry date is a soft limit, and the end of the grace period marks a hard limit.
Rather, Amazon did what they did because they thought it was the right to do...

Which is far worse than if they would've had succumbed to the political pressure. ISP that is also a jury to content that is not a clear case is evil.
(Random, but in the event that your kids are still the right age for that toy...)

I got a very similar product made by the same manufacturer from Costco for a friend's kids, and I don't think that they're worth it. The one I got came with a whole bunch of plastic balls (think xkcd) which were a nice touch and the tents make for good ball pits. Unfortunately, the tent was so flimsy that a toddler can tip over the entire thing just playing around inside.

Most of the time I was there and the kids were playing with the set, I had to sit inside the tent and anchor it down while the kids were running around, and even then it was tough because the entire tent would start shifting around. It was fun for a while, but I would imagine most parents/babysitters wouldn't want to do this every time their kid(s) wanted to play.

It would work just fine if you figure out how to anchor it, but I can't think of many kid-proof/safe ways to do that without bending the whole tent out of shape.
If you're bothered by rivers and lack of hyphenation, check out a project I worked on a while ago, which implements the Knuth and Plass line breaking algorithm in JavaScript. Combined with Hyphenator.js, the results are nearly indistinguishable from TeX output.

> We teach children that honesty is a good thing right? Why does our government need so many secrets to really keep us safe?

Ever bought a car or a house? If so, did you tell the seller upfront exactly how much you wanted it, and exactly how much you could pay? How about selling a house--do you put it up at the absolute minimum price you'll accept and tell that to buyers, providing access to your financial records to prove that you can't go lower? When applying for a job, do you tell the employer up front the lowest pay you will accept?

In most negotiations, if you can't keep your position secret you will get screwed.

The same goes for governments.

As far as children go, teaching that honesty is good does not mean teaching that secrets are bad. Responsible parents teach their children that there are some things that are only meant for family members and friends, for instance, and should not be shared with strangers.

I can't wait for this to be incorporated on the arXiv.
My best book as well, the quotes (by Karla and others) are just amazing.
While you aren't stating your opinion on the issue, the possibility of a particular field losing jobs due to some advancement in technology is almost never a valid reason for restricting that technology. Even if tooth decay happened to no longer be a service dentists needed to provide, the market would adjust the pay and number of dentists accordingly to match the new market.

This might suck for dentists over near future, but people would be much better having to no longer worry about tooth decay. Besides, gum disease is a probably a much bigger issue for people's dental health anyway, and that would be just as big a problem after this technology was released.
IS NO!

How does this relate to ViEmu? Does it work equally well?
Could you share some of the specific changes you made to your daily routine as a result of your exposure to this book?

Also, have you read Csikszentmihalyi's Creativity?
"Why Don't Students Like School?" by Daniel Willingham. It's primarily aimed at educators; if that's not your career path you'll find it less useful. So much of education consists of untested fads that it was a relief to see a social scientist go through the evidence of what works and what doesn't. Among other things, Willingham completely demolishes learning styles.

It's easily the best book on teaching I've ever read, and it will have a strong influence on how I structure my classes in the coming semester.
Some are obvious--oil production facilities are important, so your hypothetical team of economists would have no trouble there. But how about the insulin manufacturer in Denmark or the rabies vaccine manufacturer in France?

I wouldn't be surprised if those are raising eyebrows, with people thinking "it would never even have occurred to us that there may be a problem with the insulin supply!".
I believe it's available in later 7 builds and all dev channel builds after that. Note that it is not yet available in the beta or stable channel builds (since we're still perfecting it).

Also, I really recommend you upgrade your Chromium version! I believe security updates are only back-ported to the current stable release, which means you haven't gotten any such updates for a while! (Stable is now at 8.)
"Good Calorie, Bad Calories" was a pivotal book for me. It freed me up. I realised that much of what we're told about nutrition is backed by bad science.

Since then I've spent the last few years reading everything I can lay my hands on and I wrote up what I'd found in a document for friends and family: http://bit.ly/cxZNG9

This is awful timing on their part, re: wikileaks, and talks of decentralised DNS safe from politics.
A quick Google search is less than definitive. Can anyone confirm what browser coughs this up?
What's the big deal here? Linode provides me all of the DNS I need.
I've also had good experiences in situations where the two parties bring different skills to the table. If, for example, person A really understands the back end algorithm that you're trying to implement and person B really knows the front end codebase you're trying to add that algorithm to. Or if person A really understands the math and person B really knows the programming language. Basically if the two people have more or less well defined roles within the team.

The original video link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbkSRLYSojo) was submitted 5 days ago (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1954315). Then a slightly different url (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=j...) was submitted 10 hours ago (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1973202)

It seems quite unfair to me that the person who submitted this content first, and did so without linking to their own blog, gets none of the recognition and karma. While 100% of sthomps submissions (http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=sthomps) are links to his own blog, where he mirrors or links to the original content.

I just said it (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1974170) but I'll say it again: I think this is a flaw in HN's ranking scheme. If the original link isn't upvoted quickly, it never gets on the front page. After that, the rewards (recognition, traffic, and karma) go to people who mirror the original content or simply link to it from their own websites.
Not really. Both are excellent tools (in completely different ways).
Because mathematicians, physicists, and engineers use i through n for integers in their mathematical formulas, and Fortran was their FORmula TRANslator into computerese. (Additional fun fact: They begin their matrix row and column counts with 1, which is why Fortran array indices start at 1.)
The Gründerzuschuss is only for people who live of the governments unemployment insurance (ALG I). You get it for 6 months (if you've been employed for one year) up to 12 months (if you've been employed for two years). And there still must be three months of insurance left to apply for it.

If you don't get that insurance anymore, you get about €364 per month plus rent and health insurance (ALG II). Then, you can still try to start your own business but you only get some extra pocket money if you can be expected to make a living within 6 months (ha-ha). If you don't take the pocket money, you have 12 months until you have too look for employment again. Also, you cannot keep the money you earn for investments. About 90% of those attemps fail. Honestly, I cannot believe that the German government wants us to be independent, merely out of the statistics for a while.

Oh, by the way: if they put you on anything that takes more than 14 hours a week (like some €1/h job or some useless course) you're not officially unemployed. That's how they managed to come up with those incredible statistics.

I would say it perfectly displays what wikileaks was for them: just another regular client and they are not going to bend over just for one "small fish", no matter how beloved and important this one fish is amongst the tech savvy crowd.
Disclaimer: I've not used ViEmu.

As I understand it, VsVim is a much younger project that is open source, rapidly progressing and has set itself the goal of being good at the things it does and not trying to expand those too fast.

ViEmu (not having used it!) seems to try and replace more of the VS functionality, while VsVim seems to try and be "vim for the editing, leave as much of the rest intact as possible."

"Its a website that hosted classified documents that don't belong to them, and were obtained illegally. No cognizant web-host in the US would want to host such content"

Of course they would, and you know they will. Or do you really believe that Amazon will refuse to carry any product, over the coming years, that quotes from the leaked documents that are already in the public domain?

"As crass as it may sound, Amazon's in it for the money, not international politics."

Of course, and that's why a boycott is an appropriate response from people who feel negatively towards their decision; to submit to political pressure, and selectively apply their terms of use rules.

"Any other US host would have yanked wikileaks out too. It is unfair to only subject Amazon to such high morality."

I disagree. Whichever US host dropped wikileaks under these circumstances would have been a legitimate target for a boycott.

Amazon faced a difficult decision for sure, but handled it exceptionally badly wrt maintaining customer trust. Had there been even a hint of contrition in their statement, I (and I'm guessing others) may have felt less animosity towards them.
The times I've done pair programming, the co-pilot has been a lot more active than what you describe. While the driver types out the details of a couple of lines, the co-pilot will look at the surrounding code, figure out what to do next, and keep a stack of things to be done (while still keeping an eye on the code being written). Once the driver is done, the co-pilot suggest the next little task. This might lead to a little discussion, which is great, because you have two people who are really into the code.

This has been pretty hard algorithmic work, though. No fleshing out hundreds of lines per hour.

Firefox requires pages that use MathML, SVG, or any other markup that exists outside the HTML namespace to be presented in XML, because HTML4 doesn't have any way to declare that an element exists in a non-default namespace.

HTML5 doesn't have a way to declare specific namespaces either, but it does make special exceptions for including MathML and SVG elements in HTML content: putting a <math> or <svg> element in your HTML document creates an "island" of MathML or SVG markup:
