The thing that irks me the most about Ticketmaster is their absolute monopoly on this market. There's no denying just how crappy of a product they have, which is likely due to not having an incentive or need to innovate as there are no competitors.

Having the unfortunate experience of dealing with them every time I (attempt to) buy football tickets for my college, I really am bothered by the simple lack of innovation in this field. A friend summarized it really well in a tweet a while back:

@Ticketmaster you have absolutely the worst product imaginable. Your employees should be ashamed of the company they work for.

Seriously. I can't think of any language feature in any other language that is heaped with so much passion (both positive and negative), while being entirely mundane.
I don't have a question, but I do have an observation. The "science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with the will" could be the definition of a lot of disciplines: business, hacking, engineering, painting, politics. It's unfortunate that you felt you had to register anonymously to talk about this particular form of magic.

Okay, I do have a question: how do you feel the "occult" type of magic is connected with what the author is talking about (i.e. magic = imagination + determination)? Are they completely different beasts? Is one a subclass of the other?
Hi Alex,
The DNS issue to which you are referring was only with our website. The CDN was unaffected, and is completely insulated from the website.

I personally applaud the unmasking of the internet's anonymous. Maybe once they realize they're not truly anonymous, they'll stop with their appalling behavior. What they're doing exemplifies everything that is wrong with our sensationalist, power-hungry and generally corrupted culture.

This kind of mob-trolling behavior is not ok, and prosecuting perpetrators to the full extend of the law ought to set a nice example.

I'm all for free speech, and blowing the whistle. But this is much too far, and honestly, anarchy isn't any better than a police state.
While I wouldn't be surprised if it got deleted, if you elect to delete your own post, there's no placeholder left behind if there's no reply.

I thought blatant editorializing in the title was frowned upon here.
The only reason he had to help his relative when they fell ill is because although he was playing poor, he technically still had the money. Refusing to help the family member for the sake of making a point would be highly unethical.

Had he actually been that poor (only 5k in his name at the time), then he would have been under no real obligation to drop everything and support that family member.
Law enforcement doesn't need warrants for that. The companies will hand them over willingly.

Until we get some arrests I wouldn't be particularly excited over this.
The author seems to say the formula for magic is imagination + determination. Turning on a light would be one kind (or level) of magic: the Harry Potter kind. Inventing light switches, when everybody thinks you have to rub two sticks together, or wire up electrical circuits by hand to get light, would be another. The kind I've seen arguments about recently are analogous to a new kind of light switch, with a built in light sensor, so when you turn on the light it automatically turns it to the "right" brightness for the level of natural light already present. Those against it would maybe rather have a dimmer so they can control the brightness, or maybe rather install the light sensor themselves.
Yeah, but we're only talking about <4km here. Rain fade in the 2.4GHz band could produce up to 2dB of attenuation under flash-flood-thunderstorm conditions. 2dB is not a big deal! At 10km or 20km or 40km you might have a point.
Do you intend to suggest that anyone having an interest in explosives is predisposed to shooting up a school? All the pyrotechnics and rocketry nerds could do without this stigma. You also seem to willing to impugn the fundamental nature of these kids instead of considering how they became that way. One approach would lead to a witchhunt to root out all the "born bad seeds," harming innocent outcasts in the process. The other approach leads to attempts to understand and prevent kids from reaching the mental state where they would be willing to commit such heinous acts.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that hates SELinux. I find its setup to be super complicated yet all it ends up doing is stuff that I can do anyway with native unix permissions. As best I can tell it's a completely parallel world that is just there in case you mess up your normal permissions.
One day, mathematicians will prove that any fund doing better enough than the index must be insider trading. All those people from the 90s and 2000s, long retired by then, will be convicted.

Agreed, especially for anyone lacking in experience. You get broad language exposure (C, JS, PHP, some SQL) and some great introductory problem sets.

You're right, I butchered the jargon there. By "hidden volume" I meant the volume that is hidden during normal use, whereas the conventional meaning of that term is the volume that is hidden when you give the false password. Exact opposites.

> I recommend creating a hidden volume in any encrypted container...

Do you not want the recommendees to enjoy plausible deniability? After all, if they always create a hidden volume, they could reasonably be held in contempt for refusing to give two passwords for every volume.

> the very oldest kind of mass production

Actually, it's not. In ancient Egypt, bricks for house-building were mass-produced by casting mud in reusable moulds. That's the oldest example of mass-production I know of, but it would't surprise me if there were others of a similar vintage.

Isn't being able to give functions as a default keyword argument more or less obvious when functions are first-class objects instead of it being insane? It's something that I use several times in any decent sized project.

For my bot for the current Google AI challenge I use A* pathfinding and one of the keyword args is the function for getting a node's neighbours.
"The above equation is also why lights in your house dim when you turn on a motor (= inductor). There is a significant current change, and the voltage changes even more, so the lights dim."

Uh, no. Most of the voltage drop in the source occurs in the resistance of the wiring, and you didn't even figure resistance into the equation. Intuitively, the surge current more closely matches that of a capacitor charging through resistances. It isn't even a matter of the motor inductance or the frequency of the power. In fact the early surge would be seen even if we used D.C. power and a D.C. motor. The time constant matching the light dimming involves the mass of the rotor being brought up to speed. The load is actually more resistive at startup than when an A.C. motor is up to speed and coasting.

A pure inductor starts at zero current the instant voltage is applied and it ramps up at a rate determined by the inductance, at D.C. or very low frequencies rising to where it becomes limited by the series resistance. It's pure capacitors that draw a maximum current at the instant voltage is applied to the circuit.

I believe that many people get lost in the math and lose a feel for what is happening. What you said is completely backwards from reality. Mechanical analogies are far easier for people to get a feel for than Laplace Transforms. Compare the behavior of an RLC circuit to a machanical system with a shock absorber, spring, and a mass.

People may get confused over a critically damped circuit, but the idea of a car oscillating up and down after a bump with no shock absorber is easy to grasp.
Even if all it could do was make plant pots, being able to print a pot design which could grow a given crop while using half the water of open irrigation would be huge. That's well within the range of sub-irrigation systems, and the beauty of 3d printing is that prototyping and experimenting with new designs is trivial once the system is set up.
Yeah, it seems to have been used as a makeshift uuencode...

Also, I find the 'MingW32' version string to be somewhat interesting.
I think his point was that on a laptop, everyone is often just the one logged in user.
Yeah -- as if the NSA would be unable to crack software if it were not for SELinux.
These systems are all massive clusters. On the compute nodes they generally run a lightweight kernel that provides minimal services--just what is needed to run the payload application and support things like communication with other nodes. That pretty much rules out the closed source Unix systems and normal versions of Windows for the compute nodes, as they would include all kinds of things you don't need that would take up resources that you'd rather have available for computing. If you aren't going to develop your own lightweight kernel for your compute nodes, you need an open source kernel to strip down. So that basically brings it down to Linux and BSD.

I'd guess Linux is dominant because it is more popular than BSD on servers and desktops, so the people who developed the kernels for the compute nodes were simply more likely to be familiar with Linux.
> The gross miss spelling in the post

"Misspelling" is the word you're looking for.
Here's an example of how I use the hash as keyword arguments. (Minus the documentation

def save_record(record, options={}, &block)
return nil if record.nil?
options = {
:add_params => {},
:as => nil,
:without_protection => false,
:params => params[record.class.name.underscore.to_sym],
:user => current_user,
}.update options

The important part is: options = {}.update(options)

This pattern works very well for providing defaults and some documentation on what options are available. I still document the options before the function.

Small businesses, because they are very easy to manage.

More importantly though, Mac imaging. You can't run DeployStudio on anything but a Mac running OS X Server. So if you have more than 5-10 Macs to manage, having an OS X server around is a no brainer. It doesn't cost much and it makes managing & imaging Macs as simple or simpler than PCs. This is by far its most legitimate use.

Bouncing, interpreted strictly, refers to masking your IP on IRC by going through a different host which is running such software (bnc). It is widely used innocuously.

I suppose it can also encompass alternative ways of hiding your IP by going through separate machines, but I think the author of the document would have said so explicitly considering he's used proper terminology elsewhere ("vpn", "proxy").

The typical "hacker" ethos these days (out with the old, re-invent the wheel, everything taught in college is a waste of time etc) seems to be almost the antithesis of classical computer science, so I'm not sure I get the juxtaposition of the two in the name of the site.

I Spent A Coin (And I Liked It) — How I Bought Lunch in Manhattan with Bitcoins
Some people claim that Bitcoin isn’t a “real currency,” that it is “imaginary,” or a Ponzi scheme — for a number of reasons, but perhaps mostly because there’s no obvious way to use them in most people’s daily lives. I have a different perspective because last week I paid for lunch with Bitcoins. Here’s how it happened.
So, to claim that there exists a standard of living threshold, and that below this threshold life is objectively hard, whereas above this threshold it's easy, and that it so happens that the line lies between the poor and the middle class in contemporary America, you have to believe that we're looking at a very unique time and place.

Not only that, but you also need to ignore most of the world. Even traders, programmers and executives living in Bandra (a part of Mumbai more expensive than Manhattan) tend to have lifestyles worse than many US poor people. I.e., cramped apartments in poor condition, long commutes and very few luxuries.

Given this, the Karelis/bee sting/screaming guy theory would predict Mumbai's corporate lawyers would behave similarly to the US poor - never saving for the future, blowing their money on crappy food and booze rather than education, etc.

Strangely, that doesn't happen.
If your refactoring is to make a 7-args function into a builder object (because what you're building actually needs those arguments), you're better off with keyword arguments.

Crypt_blowfish 8-bit character mishandling
There are some odd problems with this document:

1) The timeline in the beginning is incorrect. #11 shows Laurelai was part of the HBGary attack. Yet in the #hq logs, Sabu had no idea who Laurelai was (and raged on him/her pretty hard).
2) Kayla is the only member that the A Team does not dox. However, the Laurelai/NA conversation contains a reference to the Xyrix = Kayla idea (which is referenced in many other places). Xyrix' denials are weak.
> In fact, MacRuby had to add syntax to Ruby[1] in order to be able to represent Objective C keyword arguments.

On the other hand, Objective-C's keyword messages, inherited from Smalltalk, are very different from Python's keyword arguments (to the point that PyObjC can not map one to the other, and uses name mangling for ObjC method calls instead, similar to RubyCocoa's method): in Obj-C, the keywords are part of the method name (in fact, they are the method name) and changing their order or adding new arguments will change the message sent to the object.

Not so in Python, C#, or using Ruby's hash-hack, where keyword arguments are basically a `String -> Any` map sent to the method.

As a result, even if Ruby implemented "proper" keyword arguments it's quite unlikely unlikely they would match Obj-C's, and MacRuby would still have to implement their own.

I wondered that until today when I read through their logs and Tweets and even studied their ASCII. I wondered why within 5 days they were stating they would be releasing troves of government documents to releasing what seemed to be someone’s trash can from their desktop with random stuff from 2009-present. They then went from the LULZ boat to a machine Gun and EFFING the police with Anarchy and reaching out to anyone to join. They were running out of low hanging fruit as the doc stated, this of course is my opinion =).

From 5 days, "were releasing everything" and telling the president to wear a shoe on his head and they would quit.

Sounds like there really is a need for a standardized way to integrate bitcoin addresses into DNS. For example, just adding the address as a TXT field and using DNSSEC to sign it would make the whole experience a bit nicer already.
Was it written by an ESL speaker? Sometimes non-English speakers feel insecure starting a point without "However", "Because of this", and other conjunctions. If you don't need a conjunctions, you can say "Nowadays", but you don't need it. It's like the "auto" keyword in C. Because ESL speakers cram a lot of grammar into a few years, rather than spending years making simple sentences, they often use advanced patterns when simpler ones would suffice.
