From the article:

"Legally, in the USA and Australia, it’s shaky ground to discriminate on the basis of someone’s name, even if that name is a pseudonym, as a pseudonym has the same legal weight as any other name you might have, in those two countries. Both the USA and Australia allow someone to select and use virtually any name ‘at will’ so long as it is not done with fraudulent intent. You can stick a pseudonym on your tax forms, file a lawsuit with it, register a copyright (although for reduced time-limits of 95/120 years) or trademark with one, or appear in court under one, so long as you’re not doing so in order to violate any law or regulation, or to evade any lawful obligation."

That's amazing, and something I would not have guessed. It's hard to believe I could file my taxes as Mickey Mouse and, as long as they're accurate, it wouldn't be considered a problem.

Actually the article is talking about income. The current HN title is wrong. According to the linked article:

"Close to $2 of every $10 that went into Americans’ wallets last year were payments like jobless benefits, food stamps, Social Security and disability, according to an analysis by Moody’s Analytics."

I do wonder what the figure would be for actual assets. Surely much lower than 20%, but I guess that would be hard to even calculate.
Funny, but I imagine that this would be a really really good way to be fired and blacklisted in the security penetration community.

Somewhat akin to having a day job installing security systems, and by night, breaking into houses secured by your competitors.
Without any reference to the nginx options

ssl_session_cache
keepalive_timeout
keepalice_requests

and whether or not the other webservers mentioned support such options and if they are enabled in the tests. There is no way to know if this is alarming or just FUD. Also missing from this comparison is a vanilla Apache SSL benchmark (which will suck, but would serve as a reference point).

Given nginx's track record, I prepared to give nginx the benefit of the doubt and assume that it's a invalid test.

That said, I'm going to run some benchmarks of my own.

I don't think that in the case that someone has your laptop in hand you can still plead the fifth. If there is evidence pertinent to the case on the physical drive obtained by the government, then they already are in possession of the container holding that evidence. Beyond that, it's a matter of litigation expense to crack it. It's up to you, at that point - unlock the laptop and allow a search or force them to hire a consultant (lawyers and cops are shitty hackers) to dig into it for them.

The hand-written note argument doesn't hold water, in my eyes, because it is the encryption of all of the evidence, not any one document, that is at issue. As was mentioned, the government has compelled people to open safes.
>they're not just asking "what is the password?" and ignoring any answer that isn't the password, as you seem to think.

>If you were to refuse to give the password [...], then you would rightly be considered to be lying...

exactly. This is why you have the right to remain silent. You're not "refusing to give the password under the grounds", you're not giving "answers that isn't the password". You're just silent. A vegetable. Otherwise any answer, like you explained it yourself, can be used against you.
"malloc(size+1)" is a sign you may have one off errors in your code. If you need to store a string of size s you need s+1 bytes allocated. The plus one is for null termination. If you want an array of t you can either pass the size around with the array or null terminate the array like strings, but then you can't store any null values in the array.

Also, there's no bounds checking on size so in certain conditions such as a 2GB/4GB allocation you may allocate zero bytes or -2GB bytes.
Show HN: NamesToFaces - Inspired from this weekend's "web app ideas" post.
You make many decisions if you have a high number of friends. And you do so every time you post something. It can get hairy, and it already has for me (at only 60 friends). "Why didn't Jim comment on this yet? I posted it to my Friends circle and it's totally his kind of thing. Oh, he's in Coworkers but I forgot to put him under Friends too."

That's really my biggest problem with Circles in their current form. They're being themed as analogs to how we group people in real life, but in reality we're still network administrators in that we apply permissions to things that we only want certain groups to see. Admins have netgroups (netgroup = users and/or groups) whereas we have no form of inheritance/hierarchy/overlap to make things easy to remember.

That said - I love Circles as an interface/vocabulary paradigm more than lists/groups, and the UI is very well-executed.

There's an old adage I've heard, with various high-end cars inserted as appropriate...

"You really need to buy two BMWs, one for the road and one for the shop". (replace BMW with Jaguar, Ferrari, etc.)

Two other minor recommendations I give all of my friends looking to buy a new car:

read Consumer Reports long term reliability rating (or similarly http://www.truedelta.com/) and find your car there. If reliability is an important factor in your purchase, these are the resources to go for your answers.

For safety try sites like http://www.iihs.org/ratings/ and http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/cars/safety-recalls/carcr... for videos.
"[f]or all procurement actions expected to exceed the $150,000 simplified acquisition threshold, prime contractors are required to make a "best effort' attempt to make use of small disadvantaged businesses, SDVOs, and WOSBs as subcontractors if the opportunity exists under the contract"

My dad has a small software company that sells statistical analysis software. He told me that he often gets buyers from minority owned businesses that exist solely to exploit that regulation. Say BigCorp wants to score a sweet government contract, and they need to use my dad's software. The CEO of BigCorp talks to his buddy at IAmAMinorityCorp and says "We want the Neyer-D Optimal Test Suite from Neyer Software." IAmAMinorityCorp buys the software, then resells it to BigCorp for 2x what they paid, pocketing the difference.

The system is heavily broken. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to get their head out of the sand or their hands out of my wallet, preferrably both.
I have to admit being somewhat surprised to find a concise, interesting debate where neither side is being particularly dumb or unreasonable.

What exactly does that do for the people who've been out of work? 100% rebate on 0 is still 0, right?

Not to make a political statement out of things but you're saying you'd prefer they didn't get their unemployment, giving that money back to me and you as tax rebates instead? Trying to see how your suggestion is relevant to the article.
Patents are just one of many ways that government destroys and prevents wealth. Government is increasingly a net loss when it grows beyond providing basic protections from physical violence and a trustworthy, competent judiciary.

...unless features are what you're competing on.

Usually this is the correct advice, but there are markets out there of people who need to take the next step up from a basic product and features are exactly what they're looking for.

Take Basecamp for example. There was recently an article on HN from someone who clearly outgrew the product. The consensus on HN was "this guy isn't in Basecamp's target market", and that's absolutely true.

But that also means he IS in a market of people looking for something like Basecamp but with more features. Something in between Basecamp and, say, MS Project. For these markets, competing on features may work.

Just don't go overboard, or you'll end up remaking MS Project :)
If we rotate this circle around the X-axis, how many people did you just accidentally send a picture of your dick?
I don't disagree that setup is a bit more work, but I think the pay-off for the individual user is very high. On top of that I expect you'll see Google introducing "Groups" as well very soon... public subscription groups that work better for a "Follow my company" type of thing. Not sure how they will implement that but I do think it is also a needed structure.

Personally though I would take the Circles concept even as it stands now any day over Facebook's method of social management. I've already found myself sharing far more on G+ (despite the fact only a small part of my social graph is there yet) just because I'm not worried that Aunt Mabel will find this offensive, or I'll have to field questions from Uncle Earl about what that tech link meant.

Care to explain?

Thanks.
If Facebook has taught us anything, there are the following classes of "friends":

* People I don't really know

* People I tell about the pimples on my butt or the argument I had with my wife

* Work-related people I talk to on a regular basis

* Hobby-related people I talk to on a regular basis

Most people have 900 in the first category and maybe a few dozen in the others.

That being said, the "reciprocating circle addition" UI is brilliant, I love it.
I don't know, maybe "20% of 2010 U.S. income came from..."?

I don't have editing powers, though.
This case is not about rights, it's about a specific entity, the Department of Justice of the United States of America, having a specific investigative power, namely, that they don't have to keep a horde of expensive consultants on retainer to decrypt people's boring, completely legally irrelevant documents. On the off-chance that they lose that power, they'll still get whatever it is they want from your laptop, it'll just take longer and cost more.

Nobody is revising the Bill of Rights, the Fourth or Fifth Amendments.
I was actually thinking about layouts, templates, websites, logos maybe, etc...

Just run the arbitrage between 200+% incremental revenue on one side and % of customers lost + cost of customer service calls for customers who talk them back down to the original price. I'm pretty sure that the former will win for a business like GoDaddy.
Let's face it -- their entire checkout process is designed to generate incremental revenue and it's been optimized to balance vs. abandoned checkouts. Doesn't exactly reek of high regard for the customer. Reeks of maximizing revenue.
None yet, but that's hardly the point, it hasn't been possible before.
Thanks Hagyma. Looking forward to your article.
The post everything to everyone on their friends list. ;)

The author doesn't seem to be taking into account the fact that the "work" involved is front-loaded at the moment, because everyone's joining G+ simultaneously. Once a certain equilibrium is reached, our circles won't change that rapidly over time and the work will (should?) be minimal.

As soon as I saw "...be it in child exploitation..." I skipped the entire content in parenthesis.

It would probably be too much work if "circling" were done after following a person, but since circling is merely part of the process of following someone, it doesn't seem like that much of a burden.
Can someone explain the rationale behind Wikipedia deletionists? I don't understand their motives.

Racism is a form of collectivism, and that phrase is indisputably collectivist: http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/racism.html

I agree that America should be a melting pot once again, but if you're going to champion American culture consistently, you must wipe collectivist ideas from your mind. We are all individuals, independent from one another, and we must be judged and thought of individually.

Edit: to those that voted this down, why?
I don't see anything wrong with it.
It's a valid point, but it paints with too broad of a brush. For example, I have enthusiastically moved from JavaScript to CoffeeScript, in part because I love the syntax.

While I know there are programmers who act just like you described, my complaint is with Go's syntax specifically.

I find it kind of strange just how dedicated "Artem Karimov" is to getting this page deleted.

In addition, the rule that's quoted, "Notability is inherited", is a bit strange - people are notable because of things they do. For example, I doubt that J.K. Rowling would be considered "notable" if it wasn't for the fact that she created Harry Potter. I fail to see why the same argument can't be applied here.

However, I shall end with a disclaimer: I don't edit Wikipedia at all, and I'm sure there are nuances that I'm missing. Still strange, though.
The only thing I really want in a future iOS release is for Apple to remove the arbitrary restrictions they've put in place for mobile Safari.

I want to be able to play 2 audio clips at once. I want to be able to auto-load audio clips on page load. I want to be able to play them without forcing the user to touch the screen. I want to be able to load more than 6.5mb of imagery without resorting to silly workarounds. I want to be able to run complex animations without Safari simply crashing and depositing my users on the desktop.

In short, I want to be able to write applications that target HTML5. At the moment, you can do so, but you spend maybe 80% of your time jumping through hoops, working around things, and tracking down mysterious browser crashes and memory limitations.

The iPad has a ton of physical memory and a very fast processor. It would be nice to be able to use those things without having to write native apps.
I find it ironic that Reddit, the usual source of anti-commericalization, is now complaining about software that block ads.
"This implies that the Keynesian theory of stimulus spending is wrong"

Actually, we brought in the word "Keynesian" later. The original message I was replying strikes me as being based on the idea that it's just "spending", especially at the point where it claims that the Great Recession is from us "living within our means", which is a claim that just boggles my mind. The theory is that unqualified government spending is what pulls economies out of recessions; the reality is that isn't working, and also, it's not really Keynesianism. No contradictions.
CoffeeScript - overrated?
Does the web count?
I wonder if part of the doubt is due to Redditors not believing that one person could found a company, and that one person could do so much. Might that shine an uncomfortable light on some people?

It depends on the person. Different people have different motivations for wanting an article deleted:

- Purism with respect to Wikipedia policies (I would place this example in this category)

- Ideological commitment to notions about what an encyclopedia "should" be

- Personal vendettas

- ...and so on
Mr. randomstring, your test results before blekko launched were much faster than this guy's number. Want me to quote from your email?
Wow. I don't know if Bill Nguyen realizes this, but when you have a consumer based product, you NEED to launch it when there are a lot of potential customers to use it! That is without a doubt the worst thing that I've ever heard an entrepreneur say as long as I've been following tech. When this company crashes and burns, perhaps Mr. Nguyen will realize that being an entrepreneur sometimes means having to do things you don't want to do. Did you really think Steve Jobs was excited to go to Redmond, proverbial hat in hand to ask Bill Gates for a bailout? Of course not! But he did it because it was necessary for the long term health of the company. I truly think Bill Nguyen doesn't get it.
They have the information. They have your hard drive. You have a key, or they can brute force the information out with decryption software. This is not a Fifth Amendment case. They don't want or care about the password itself. They can't use the information you provide (the password) to incriminate you, no matter what the password is.

Binary Planting Goes "Any File Type"
Node has no special ability to proxy and distribute work across multiple processes. Erlang, Hadoop, OpenMPI, those are things with special abilities to distribute work across processes. "Being able to use sockets" is not a "special ability", not even if you add the word "asynchronously". I'm not aware of a language environment of any significance now where you can't use "asynchronous" sockets. You are trying to build an ability, not harness something that already exists. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's a bit premature to put something like that right in the logo.
