Cloud Computing: New Power for Australia
The concept of cloud computing is quite complex and difficult to decipher. For the purpose of gaining knowledge and to clear some issues, it is better for you to get acquainted with it.
I wonder if they correlated it with Programming Language.
Because this would suggest that the more terse a language is, the less prone to errors it is.
The first, second, and really all the rules of encryption are that you should not write your own encryption code. And as others have noted, there are fundamental issues with doing such an implementation in Javascript at all.

Please consider the social consequences of pushing encryption which is very likely to be flawed to those who may not know better. If you wish to play (and who doesn't?), then it should be done among people who study cryptography and its implementation for a living.

Did you read my parenthetical statement?

I don't know much about his work, and I fully realize it is possible that he might have gotten the grant even without minorities (in contradiction of the statement he made).

In that case, his statement is entirely pointless, since he would have gotten the grant with or without a physics undergrad program.

Have you tried the various OLED (AMOLED, SAMOLED etc.) devices? When showing black they are effectively off, so white (or green or gray) on black text is relatively soothing.

My main reading use case is in bed at night. I have a little booklight for reading actual paper books, but I think I'm waiting for an AMOLED 8" tablet for e-book reading. It works pretty darn well for my phone in low light conditions. (In fact the main competition for an 8" tablet would be one of those giant 5" phones with AMOLED).

London startups fire a hiring gun at the banks
The most telling part of this article is point #8 (which basically says you will end up blaming and then eventually disliking the patients for your sad lot as a modern day doctor). What I find amusing here (and so comically characteristic of a Doctor's absurd notion of self-importance) is that the author so completely lacks the capacity for self-introspection that he doesn't even realize the truth of who is to blame.

To all the doctors out there that feel the same way as this author does I have one message for you. The only person to fucking blame is YOU!!!

Guess what? You're the one who made the decision to go into medicine and so you're the person at fault for the sad state of affairs in the modern medical profession. It's your fault for failing to do your due diligence on the demands and rewards of the profession.
Why didn't you do your due diligence? You probably had some romantic notion of what it would be like as a Doc. Or possibly you went into medicine to make your parents happy? Or you thought it was a respected profession, or you simply wanted to help folks in need because it's an altruistic pursuit.

Well, sorry buddy, but all those things aren't an excuse for not doing your due diligence.
It get's worse though...

At the macro level it's a self-reinforcing cycle. The lack of due diligence happens so frequently and by so many aspiring docs, it has repercussions on the profession as a whole. At the aggregate level, it causes wages to fall and working conditions to get worse for docs and interns (since the demand for medical school entrance remains strong regardless of conditions or wages).

You think just because you got good grades and got into med school that makes you smart? Ummm...no.
And that is why Doctors get paid less than - and have more difficult working conditions than - Investment bankers. The type of person who goes into I-banking is smart enough and introspective enough to do their due diligence. The type of person who goes into medicine isn't.

I don't believe this argument for one second. First off: Of those 55 countries you cite, how many of those countries leaders would you guess are making more money than an HP or equivalent CEO. Any? Surely 'running' a country comes with a tiny bit more responsibility than running a large company. Yet there is no shortage of wannabe leaders and that's because money isn't the motivating factor. And I don't think it's the motivating factor of a good CEO. You want to do a great job, build great products, run a great company. But salary? Do you think Tim Cook would have rather switched to HP if they offered to pay him $5m more?
It seems that 'remote hunting' has been banned in various US states, although not all of them: http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/hunting/2011/02/north-da...

Obviously it would be illegal in most of Europe and probably elsewhere too.

This is something I've spent a fair few idle afternoons daydreaming about, and to be honest I'm quite worried about the future possibility of semi-autonomous weaponised drones. The average HN reader probably has the knowledge and access to resources necessary to build a basic manually-controlled drone. An iPhone or even an Arduino would provide the necessary computing power for semi-autonomous activity (and a whole bunch of useful sensors, including GPS, camera etc.) and it can't be long before someone builds some open source software to enable these things to fly basic missions (go to these coordinates, film for 30 minutes, return to base, avoid obvious obstacles whilst doing so). Mounting some kind of weapon on there is a fairly simple step. You could even print the weapon parts with a 3D printer...

What really scares me is the arms race that will occur when law enforcement has to deal with this kind of thing.
From what I understand, regular folk can't automate firearm actuation. Off he top of my head, you would at least need a Type 7 license with a class 2 SOT from our friends at the ATF to automate weapon fire on a drone.

The FAA other alphabet soup agencies probably have other regulations regarding the manufacture and use of a flying killing machine.

Some info on ATF licenses:

This policy of "only cater for Facebook users, and only Facebook users who don't care about privacy" prevents me from using the service, and prevents me from recommending it to friends and family.

That doesn't sound like "nothing wrong" to me. The vast majority of websites let anybody with an email address sign up. This site doesn't.
I use Pandora, Spotify, Grooveshark, and iTunes, and no, I'm not satisfied. I'd like to see a cloud music service that finally gets it right. Completely right. I had high hopes for Google Music, but their interface is lacking and their features aren't rolling out quickly enough.

Pandora has the best auto-track selection, but that should be expected, it's their core service.

Spotify is nice in that I can upload and sync my local library, but I have to pay a premium to stream to my iphone. No deal, Spotify.

Grooveshark is great, although their auto-track selection in Radio Mode can't compare to Pandora. Downside, App store won't let me Groove on my iphone.

Finally, iTunes would swoop in FTW if it weren't for all the DRM BS. I can't even migrate my music to another laptop without a 3 hour iTunes fight. Plus, syncing takes forever. Apple needs to step up their cloud music game.

> [The iPad has] set off a revolution in progress about how entertainment and other media are consumed.

Is this really true ? I know I'm a bit provincial but I don't know anyone with an iPad and have only ever seen anyone with one TV. I'm not even sure my friend who works in the Apple store has one at home (he's never mentioned it and he's the kind who would).

EDIT I got my reply from asking him. It's revolutionised how entertainment and other media are consumed in his house.

me: how do you like it ?

he: Very much. Lou uses it all the time ... She hasn't used a pc since.

Personally I did it by joining the Clipper Race - http://www.clipperroundtheworld.com/ . The Challenge went under the year I decided to do it unfortunately and Clipper is the next closest thing.

Toyed with the idea of trying to get on a boat myself but I knew the reality of it is that it's just too unapproachable. It may cost a little money but Clipper make it dead easy - you just need to give them a call, they're probably training for the next race at the moment.

Clipper yachts are filled with ordinary Joes. The majority of us hadn't even sailed before. Like Tony, I had the pleasure of being bowman and mast monkey. You learn a lot about yourself out there. Definitely can't put a price on it.
Facebook denies cookie tracking allegations
> The only thing preventing the possibility of closed-door deals going on between the BBC and political parties is good faith. Ergo, if it's not already happening or hasn't already happened, which is unlikely, there's no reason it can't happen in future.

Political parties could equally make backroom deals with private media companies as well. It would also be considerably less risky, because they wouldn't have to violate the Royal Charter.

The problem with backroom deals concerning the license fee is that they have to be remain secret, yet affect how the news is reported without drawing suspicion. Any control would have to be very subtle.

>It seems that 'remote hunting' has been banned in various US states, although not all of them: http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/hunting/2011/02/north-da....

There are exemptions to most of these laws, including ones concerning "hunting seasons" for farmers.

I knew a guy with an orchard who had the coveted right in Ohio to shoot deer all year long. 80% of that man's familys' protein came from those hungry deer.
ATF would definitely be a blocker on that one.
Reducing the TV license fee at the same time the BBC is going to report something unfavourable to the current government might seem just a little suspicious, don't you think?

An government inquiry into the BBC's reporting would be even worse, as it would be a clear violation of the BBC's independence.
Most radical political supporters acknowledge that jail or prolonged detainment is likely. Heck, you can be jailed for a while for contempt if you refuse to reveal your password to encrypted containers even if you forget the password.

If you really want to go down this route, I recommend that it would be more efficient to focus on your goals and have a disaster plan (minimum of regular lawyer contact, grandparents support them, etc). It's the least you can do, since I assume your family supports your ambitions.

There is also Qt and Qt Creator (both free) if you want to stick to C++, but don't want to tie yourself to Microsoft. And if you don't want to use C++, there's always python bindings for Qt. And if you don't want to use Qt, there's always wxWidgets....

I don't see how "logical lines", whatever that is

At least by the definition I'm accustomed with, a logical line is a statement or series of statements which directly and logically belong together, for example a function call or an arithmetic operation.

Logical lines are independent from physical lines as each logical line can be split over multiple physical lines (eg splitting up a long string IO operation), or one physical line can contain multiple logical lines (this is a bad idea in most cases though).

Since the definition hinges a bit on what somebody considers as "logically belonging together", the whole concept is a bit fuzzy. Consider this string formatting operation (Python):

somestring.split(somechar)[-1]).replace("foo", "bar")

Do you consider this one logical line? Or would your logical lines look more like this:

somestring = somestring.split(somechar)
somestring = somestring[-1]
somestring = somestring.replace("foo", "bar")

Both are valid interpretations of logical lines, but they are visually and conceptually quite different, which makes it - imho - a bit problematic to try and use them as a measure of code quality.

I built a fun little tool to do this a few years ago... probably at least 3 if not 4. I did the entire first act of Hamlet... as in I generated a string (300,000 odd characters from memory) and compared it to the proof. 9 chars at a time is a whole lot better optimastion than what I was doing.

It was when ever Google App engine launched anyway. The reason I didn't care about optimization was I was planning on abusing the free GAE processing power... turned out after I wrote the app that I should have read the T&C etc... what I was planning wouldn't have been permitted :( so I pulled the plug.

My home version ran for a few weeks, but I think I was only in the millions, and not trillions like this guy. Hamlet never materialized.

This is hand-waving the fact that the JVM really is good only for server-side applications, and nothing more; mostly because bindings to native APIs are shunned by Java developers and because Java SE may be fast, but it starts slow and it consumes tons of RAM -- 16 years after Java was launched, 16 years of Moore's law, and Java apps still feel like crap.

It is kind of ironic that if you want to write well-behaved OS X, Gnome, KDE or Windows apps without dealing with Obj-C or C/C++, you're better off building on top of Ruby/MacRuby, Python or Mono/C#.
