Agreed - I think he has improved people's perception about JavaScript, but people who blindly follow what Crockford says are worse than the copy-paste javascript developers of the late 90s.

I too disagree with him about several things - these two off the top of my head:

* White space - real tabs are much easier to work with than spaces

* new Operator - a) we can automagically return a new instance if the constructor is called normally and b) even if we couldn't, that's no reason to stop using a major part of OOP.

You might want to check out the COPPA Safe Harbor Program at http://business.ftc.gov/privacy-and-security/children%E2%80%... (the list of approved safe harbors) and http://www.ftc.gov/privacy/coppafaqs.shtm

This is one reason why many TOS and Privacy Policies appear very similar. Any site that collects information from children (which could be almost any site) must comply with the following:

"Section 312.4(b) of the Rule identifies the information that must be disclosed in your online privacy policy. Required information includes: the name, address, telephone number, and email address of each operator collecting or maintaining personal information from children through your site; the types of personal information collected from children and whether it is collected actively or passively; how such personal information is or may be used; whether such personal information is disclosed to third parties, various other types of information about those third parties as set forth in the Rule, and that the parent may deny consent to this disclosure; that the operator cannot condition a child’s participation in an activity on the disclosure of more information than is reasonably necessary to participate; and that the parent can review the child’s personal information and refuse to permit the further collection or use of the child’s information. 16 C.F.R. § 312.4(b)(2).

"The Rule also requires that a link to the privacy policy be posted clearly and prominently on your home page and at each area where personal information is collected. 16 C.F.R. § 312.4(b)."

For example, TRUSTe is a COPPA safe harbor, and if you use their Privacy Policy Generator (available at http://www.truste.com/privacy_seals_and_services/small_mediu... ) to generate a policy, you're automatically deemed in compliance with the COPPA.
The Germans have a thing for privacy, and rightly so given their history. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I strongly suggest you check wikipedia: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Stasi

I'm all for hey-why-not geek cred, but the reason for getting a Touchpad is WebOS. There is nothing intrinsically special about the hardware that deserves Android (except that it is cheap right now).

I'd be more impressed with figuring a way to get WebOS onto other devices.

Isn't that just it though?

One set of fingers is crossed for open source webOS. The other is for boot2gecko to replace it entirely. Web Intents can serve as Android intents and we can have the richness and ease of webOS and free cross-platform web apps.

I wish I could upvote your comment more. Never thought about this subject this particular way (probably because of my lack of experience). Thank you very much.
> Great to see this discussion - I think that most contracts in many areas of law could be standardised. The same way that open source and creative commons licenses standardise those areas.

In principle, this is a great idea. In practice, not so much. The problem with boilerplate contracts is that they're often unenforceable. In fact, simply having an IM conversation with someone in which you discuss and negotiate the responsibilities of each side could carry more weight in litigation than some obtuse, boilerplate contract.

I've actually been working on an NDA generator for a while now, and I'm hoping to eventually get it to a point where the variable elements can be negotiable by each side of the agreement. For example, things like duration/scope, when allowed by the respective jurisdiction, should be negotiable. Launching this into a full service (or a component of another service) that handles confidential information exchanges could be useful, too.

I just finished reading his new book Ghost in the Wires and it's better than his previous publications, because it's far more technically oriented.

I was disappointed by this NPR interview though. It's typical fodder for the white wine and brie demographic. Very general and promotional, like an audio blurb (which is exactly what this is supposed to be anyway). Mitnick just talks about a few of his exploits and explains what his motivation is. Most HN readers probably know all that.

What is Pharming Attack? -DNS Poisoning
Compared to Tornado, Twisted is:

~ Mature. Twisted has been around for a lot longer than Tornado and has learned from all of the available history of modern OS networking.

~ Tested. Twisted's been in production for a long, long time, and is covered with thousands of unit tests. It's official policy that code may not enter the Twisted tree without accompanying tests.

~ Flexible. Twisted can be used as a general-purpose networking library, it can integrate with Pygame and Pyglet, GTK+, Wx, Qt, Tk; it doesn't have to be used for servers.

~ Extensible. Twisted's connectors are explicit, and rely on interfaces and adapters rather than inheritance. As an example, Twisted's SSH library lets you separate the SSH server, SSH channel, and SSH shell from each other. Annoying if you want a standard SSH server, but terrific if you're building a custom SSH proxy or tunnel. (I did this a few weeks ago at work. A lot easier with Twisted than with Paramiko!)

I should note that it's not an either-or; there is a branch of Tornado which throws out all of the event loop and uses Twisted's event loop instead.

Comparing newLISP with Clojure or Common Lisp is a bit like comparing a sandwich with a three-course meal. If you must compare languages, it's probably better to consider newLISP with Lua or ELisp or AppleScript or Perl or whatever.

Each language has its own sweet spots. It's possible that newLISP is another tool useful enough to have in one's toolbox, alongside all those other tools. "A craftsman uses the right tool for each job; an amateur uses the same tool for every job."

In practice, I haven't found dynamic scoping or lack of compilation to be a huge problem. If you run out of speed, you need to change horses.

The most serious problem with newLISP is, I think, the name. The author managed to choose and combine the seven letters of the alphabet most likely to irritate the most irritable section of the programming community.
What makes Golub's point so misleading is that he counts consumption taxes, payroll taxes, state taxes, and even future estate taxes when he pays them, but only looks at federal income tax to get the "half the people pay nothing" line.
For once I'd like to see a little more honesty... you know: "we did it for the money" rather than "we did it for the users". Liars.

Perfect Radiance
It is 'power, radiance, joy, and an inward glory' that are manifest signs of a turning holy toward God. God sees to it as his Spirit sweeps through our beings, taking up residence within us. Our positive turning toward him, and not simply turning away from darkness, is what we have to do. The negative alone won't do it; it has to be accompanied by the positive and these both can occur at the same time.

Integration of mobile websites with enterprise systems
For me, the new operator (in javascript) is an optimisation, so it should be inserted into a code base after profiling. In accordance with the "make it work, make it right, make it fast" philosophy of development.
They're pretty similar. The main difference is that Eventlet supports more event loops, has a messier basic architecture, is slightly slower, and lets you defer blocking tasks to threads. Since I'm connecting to MySQL, which happens through blocking C code in libmysql, that's pretty important to me. Eventlet's db_pool module is very nice.

Personally, I'm happy with eventlet and can't see why I would want to go to gevent. Does anybody using gevent want to chime in on what's better about it?

Superdrug DRACO to the Rescue; New Drug to Cure Any Viral Infection
Some months ago I observed an object crossing the sky at night from Coventry UK. It crossed the entire extent of the sky in about 2 seconds. It was very high up and had a red glow like that of a jet afterburner. It didn't fade out or change brightness as you might expect of a meteor and wasn't white as you'd expect of a satellite. I wondered at the time if someone was testing a very fast military vehicle. It would be interesting to know what various nations are working on.

I hate to be sidetracked by my perceived opinion of Microsoft. I am not the one to spew hate on MS. I have a lot of respect for MS and its research philosophy.

However, the point I am trying to make is that Microsoft has never solved a problem by throwing money at it. When they have tried, they have ended up (inspite of having good products) in number 2 position.

Ask HN: Any Solutions to the "Porn Problem"?
I have a close friend who claims to be 'addicted' to internet pornography. He has been trying to find software or any service to help prevent access to these types of websites. In his search, he has found that all the one's out on the market are quite easy to bypass and are usually built with a "parent administrator" in mind. He approached me to see if I knew of any software or could build something to prevent his access to porn.

As a hacker (still consider myself a beginner), this is quite a lot to tackle, but I am honestly intrigued by the challenge. Personal views aside, I took a purely technical approach to this. One of the biggest weaknesses with current software is the ease of disabling it, proxy bypassing, and the massive lag it sometimes causes on computers.

Now, despite your views on the issue, I was wondering what creative solutions fellow hackers may have. Is there any way to create a fool-proof anti-porn software or service? Are there any startups that work in this space and are coming up with solutions to this?
In the UK I know it's not ok to e.g make a photocopy of a standard construction contract and, I'm guessing, any other type of contract where copyright is claimed by the author. In a contractual dispute, if it can be shown that you do not generally act in good faith, by infringing copyright in this case, it can be used as evidence to call into question your intention to carry out your obligations under the contract and therefore a judge could decide that the other party may be relinquished from thier obligations. UK contract law is pretty complicated though and IANAL by the way.
Edited for clarity.
That's a good point. I need to spend some time putting info about the site in print. Thanks for the feedback!

I wouldn't say its dead, but for me at this time it's pointless.

The majority of my Facebook friends are not using it. A few got on there, but like Google Buzz before it there is zero usage from my network.

Overall my Google Plus is a no man's land in regards to content from people I care about. All those people (majority non techies or early adopters) remain very active on Facebook. Thus, so do I.
Google's search algorithm is tuned to what actually works for most people.

Yes. And that is where I think it goes wrong. The fact that a lot of people misspell should not be used to correct a person's right search to a wrong one. That's not the right thing to do. It should suggest a different search, but not change my search altogether.

As an example, if I place an order for a Chicken Burrito but am served a Beef Burrito because that's the most popular dish, it would not be okay. Same applies to search.

Google is much, much more advanced.

Yes! I said they over did it.
A better title might have been "Essential Books Mostly from the 20th Century". Which is good and well, but there's thousands of years of great literature to draw from.

And I've read far too little of it.

Edit: Three books about Theodore Roosevelt? He was Norris-like, but history furnishes a great many awesome badasses. I quite admire Gaius Julius Caesar personally.

In the UK most construction contracts are standardised. The most common construction contract is the Joint Contracts Tribunal Standard Building Contract. Also see New Engineering Contract. Architects use the RIBA Standard Form of Appointment and there are equivalents for other construction consultants. With all these contracts you must buy a copy of the contract every time you use it.

Useful Basic Terminal Commands On Linux Mint 11
I did some basic back of the envelope math to determine what distance it should be. According to http://times-news.com/bobdoyle/x546406583/How-far-away-and-h... an observed Cumulus cloud was about .25 miles wide. If you want it to feel like you're looking at an object relatively the size of a computer screen (I just said 1ft across), and your eyes are about 2.5in across. Then the ratio is 2.5in/12in = Distance_between_cameras/.25mi

Which results in about 300ft or a football field. The you make that distance, the less the clouds will feel like tangible objects.
