Pretty ugly Forth code. I'm surprised that big chain of "SWAP DUP XXX =" didn't get factored into a loop over a lookup table. Is this code time-critical somehow?

edit: for example, ('cause who doesn't like seeing more Forth code on HN?)

create table 66 , 271 , 3 , 40 , 101 ,
4 constant table-size-1
\ ...
false table-size-1 for
over i table + @ = or
next swap drop

Would've made that bug harder to miss, too.
09999805865 Sexy Independent Delhi Escort
Hello gentlemen My name is Tanya Varma an independent escort girl in Delhi. I am young, sexy, hot and attractive girl. If you are staying in Hotel and feeling alone then call me for fun. You just call me and fix you appointment: 09999805865.
IWantMyName is an accredited registrar (at least, they claim to be) and their founders post on HN, so there's that. I understand what you're getting at though -- I don't run an online business so I can take the risk.

By the way, Hover.com is basically TUCOWS, which makes them one of the biggest registrars.
GoDaddy Supports SOPA - Not For The Right Reasons
Exactly. I'm broadly supportive of Occupy, but couldn't bring myself to support the Vancouver branch. The only people hurting here are the perennial hurters; the only ones protesting are the rent-a-crowds who show up at every protest. We never had a housing crunch, or an employment crunch. It's still a great place to live and work, so the rank and file simply don't think about the issues that concern OWS. I recognize the serious issues they are fighting against globally, but locally they just don't exist.

Note that I'm saying "exactly" to the problems being localized, not that they don't exist.
Ah, but remember, they've "done this stuff for a while now". Either they know and don't care, or they don't know and they're claiming they do. There's no good way out of this, they're messing up potentially catastrophically regardless of the truth.
I couldn't find anything in the bill text that seemed to exempt anyone, except for immunity under specific circumstances (like voluntarily trying to take down infringing sites). I don't think that's what this is about. But the article seems to mention it being part of an amendment, maybe they're referring to Lofgren's amendment 051?

"Zoe Lofgren has an amendment that says a DNS operator should have no obligation to block a website if doing so would impair the security or integrity of the domain name system or the operator's system or network. I'm sure opponents will say this makes the blocking toothless, but what they're really saying is they don't care if censoring websites they don't like harms the security of the internet." [1]

However, as per this [2], that amendment failed.

edit: switched links

edit2: No, here's where that comes in, from Smith's amendment: http://judiciary.house.gov/issues/Rouge%20Websites/Summary%2...

I'm not very familiar with the technology behind the Internet, so the terminology is confusing to me. Could someone explain if the exemption comes from the DNS Protections section or the Subdomains and Portions of Sites Section?
No no no. Always throw by value, and catch by reference. Like this:

throw BathwaterException(Baby());

Wait, we are talking about C++ programming, right? ;)
I've read most iterations of the bills in the house and senate. I was one of the first to point out it wasn't limited to just DNS blocking.

I'm not caught up on the amendments but I don't see any evidence GoDaddy is exempt, outside of the fact that they are not the kind of ISP or DNS service provider that SOPA targets. They are a registrar and Authoritative DNS provider, neither of whom are targeted by the foreign infringing sites language as I understand it.

IANAL, etc.
I know I can't deal without Advil and football this weekend. But I also can't deal with the potential loss of the Internet as we now know it. Don't want to be a hypocrite? Contact your congressmen instead.

China Becomes World's Top Patent Filer
I agree, many industries are a race to the bottom as far as treating your employees like people - retail, for example. But for 'knowledge workers' like most folks on HN, I think the tide is beginning to turn with a lot of tech companies realizing that employees who actually like the company, who can go grab an appetizing meal without leaving the office, or use whatever office furniture makes them most efficient, etc etc are going to generate more value for owners/shareholders than a 9-5 drone.

And just to clarify on the use of the term 'engineer', I am an electrical engineer specializing in protection & control. I have worked alongside a variety of electrical, civil, mechanical and industrial engineers in power generation, transmission and distribution. I long for the day when there is a company in my field with a startup mentality.

Dear ,

Thank you for writing to me regarding S. 968, the PROTECT IP Act of 2011. I understand your concerns.

I am a cosponsor of this legislation because I believe that we must protect American intellectual property against foreign websites that infringe upon our rights. By empowering the Attorney General of the United States to go after foreign infringing websites, this legislation becomes a necessary tool to ensure that U.S. companies remain competitive in the world marketplace. I recognize that there are technical concerns with the enforcement of this bill that need to be addressed. I am committed to working with my colleagues in the United States Senate to ensure that this legislation protects the Constitutional rights of Americans and does not stifle lawful free speech or innovation on the internet.

Thank you again for writing to express your concerns, and I hope that you keep in touch with my office regarding future legislation. For more information on this and other important issues, please visit my website at http://gillibrand.senate.gov and sign up for my e-newsletter.

Sincerely,

Kirsten E. Gillibrand
United States Senator

I have a good understanding of what Lessig has been arguing; when I saw your comment, I figured that I must of missed something so I watched the video and it's exactly what I thought it would be. I'm a fan of his in a lot of ways, but I often disagree with him when it comes to specifics -- we both see the same problems but have different takes on their solutions.

He's not attacking the root, he's attacking the branches. If government did not have the power to dole out favors no one would spend money trying to influence it. That, however , is incompatible with his worldview. He wants a strong federal government intervening a wide variety of issues - so that his will can be imposed upon others (I say his, because it would be odd if he was fighting so that someone could impose their will on him).

I completely agree with him on all the "corruption" claims, and on how they get compensated when they leave - there is no disagreement there. Though he does conflate 2 funding issues: 1. campaign funding 2. personal wealth. His attack is only focused on #1, whereas #2 also exists and is mentioned in his talk about former congressmen ending up @ K street or in large corporations. Nothing in his proposal would address problem #2, for a congressman can pass all sorts of bullshit laws and then go and work at Disney or Monsanto.

As for being systems thinkers, I agree - and in fact I think that's why pushing power from the federal to state makes a lot of sense. It increases stability, allows for experimentation and reduces the effects of corruption. Personally, I abhor politics because it's all about violence and force and not about consensus and compromise. Right now, we are stuck with a winner takes all system with government when everywhere else in our lives we are seeing an abundance of choice, the book Declaration of Independents has some good ideas on this topic, if you're interested http://www.amazon.com/Declaration-Independents-Libertarian-P...

I don't see any actual argument here. "If you're boycotting only some of these companies for supporting SOPA, you must boycott all of them"?

Not really... Boycotting GoDaddy made perfect sense: they are an internet company supporting legislation that would ruin the internet. Presumably they knew perfectly well what they were doing (considering this is the core of their business) and they needed to be shown that the world doesn't agree that it's okay.

Whereas I doubt L'Oreal executives knew or cared about this bill beyond someone promising them it would help their business to sign on the dotted line. Boycotting them would be an arbitrary self-righteous waste of time that could be spent pestering your representative -- which actually has a chance of making a difference.
I find this comment to be more or less true. Where I work we cannot find enough qualified people to hire, and we are hiring as fast as we can. These are very highly paying jobs.

Also, to hell with occupy wall-street. Banks may not be looking out for 'the little guy', but since when are we surprised by that? What do these protestors want exactly? For bigwigs to go to jail for causing all their personal problems? I can't help but think that these same people weren't exactly great success stories before the financial meltdown, and would be barely scraping by if things were great. To be supplied with an income to reward them for years spent putting no effort into gaining useful skills? Bah, I say let them eat cake. If they can't be bothered to learn how to do anything that is worth paying them to do (despite years of free educational opportunities, heavily subsidized community colleges, etc), and they can't be bothered to take their future into their own hands and start a business, then I simply cannot be bothered with them.
Law Firms Removing Their Name From SOPA Supporters' List
SOPA is about controlling the flow of information. Just like large corporations now own media outlets and now influence their content, SOPA will do the same for the Internet. And with both media and Internet under control, the average citizen will know only what the corporations want us to know. Scary.
My thoughts exactly. "Big Data" gets a lot of lip service from hardware and software vendors, but for the most part they are pushing solutions to problems that 99.9% of people do not have. Most shops can't even get a basic data warehouse and BI tool up and running AND have their customers/users be happy with the solution. The idea that those same teams now need to start using special tools to analyze their 'big data' and hire data engineers/data scientists to do it is absurd.

Disney is a far bigger "Internet company" than Go Daddy by both traffic and dollars generated online. By your logic, it makes more perfect sense to boycott Disney than to boycott Go Daddy.

The committee seems to be taking one step backwards and one step forwards with this publication. On the one hand, I'm glad they're adding support for features such as static assertions that previously required ugly workarounds. On the other, I think their idea of a threading library is somewhat laughable. Also, I'm not fully sold on the idea of having 10 or so optional implementation requirements.

The most important question, to me, is how many implementations will support the full standard? Are we going to have another C99 wherein most vendors maintain partial support?

The reality is you can't boycott everyone. Sometimes it's even hard to know who or what to boycott, and people just don't have time and energy to follow all that. Boycott toilet paper to protest SOPA? Not going to happen. Pressuring your representatives in Congress is more likely to succeed.

I have a 2-year-old 'nice' whitebox with a nice-but-not-truly-awesome video card from the time (radeon 5770? Catalyst software just lists '5700 series') and it runs fine. Perhaps not 60fps, but it's very rare that I'll notice frame skipping or slowdown, and I've got the quality settings maxxed. So anecdotally, the game doesn't run horribly on all PCs in terms of performance. There are a number of other issues which suck from being a console port though, like the menu system. Dragons being trivial to kill is also a bit sad, but that's not the console port's fault :)

I'm still trying to figure out what people mean by "big data". I'm full of hope that they don't mean "big storage" or "big hard drives filled with big bytes".

The data by it self does not have any value. Maybe some need to store data just for legal purposes. If ever sued they can show the records. The value comes from summarizing the data into something that you can use it for making decisions. So my hope is that media are really saying: "there will be a lot of data to analyze - start practicing now."
Since that would take more effort and time than simply doing it right, I call Occam's razor.

The quote about "amazing that they boot" was good. All the people at OSDev haven't figured-out how futile advanced hardware support is.

Surely he knows the HPET is not even supported by VMWare or any other virtual machine. It's worthless as far as I'm concerned. Same story for most other device classes. Brendan, wake-up!! Compatibility is all that matters -- forget all those worthless nonuniversal pieces of hardware.
