Obligatory quote from the movie:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434409/quotes?qt=qt0450655

There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I
suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones,
and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because
while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation,
words will always retain their power. Words offer the means
to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation
of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly
wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and
injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you
had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw
fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance
coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission.
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there
are those more responsible than others, and they will be
held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're
looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I
know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't
be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems
which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your
common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic
you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He
promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he
demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent.

Love it but I fear it's not the right solution and I even don't think it's the right problem it's trying to solve.

When a designer is working in photoshop they are not actually part of the development process yet. They are still in design mode, they are for the lack of a better word sketching.

Not until they start to actually output assets for developers do the github concept start to make sense.

Designers often have different versions of the same design inside the document in the layers and groups and smart objects.

They will for instance have a couple of version of a header or some styling on their elements, perhaps different layout for main content.

So for this to be useful it would need to create a kind of master psd that save the state of which layers and groups are turned off and on.

This way you can sketch away and not have to worry about creating a billion different versions inside the documents that just make them bigger.

But that is a different problem.
I didn't mean to imply its never done, just that when a founder is fired it tends to be for criminal reasons (ie, John Delorean). In this case, it looks like a pure power play. Tucci had the board backing him and Greene had the senior executives. In the end Tucci won.

"When Ms. Greene’s firing was announced to investors the next morning, VMware’s shares plunged 24 percent, and the high-flying company was thrown into a tailspin from which it has yet to recover."[1]

Since her departure it looks like VMWare has changed from an engineering driven company to acquisitions driven.

How is this a security flaw? Mobile devices are not meant to be shared - they don't have multiple user accounts - meaning you theoretically are not supposed to give the tablet to anyone else. People can use your FB & Twitter account etc. What the OP wants is a guest account, which I support. But this is a choice Google made, no security flaw.
Gemstones are not a good value store at all, since there is no liquid market for them and the first-sale price is artificially inflated through marketing.

Not that I want to defend any kind of selfhelp book but when it comes to loosing weight you are wrong.

Those two are by no metrics the same.

One of them gives you step by step advice (eat this apple, eat this brocoli don't eat fat) things you can act directly on and that can be measured the direct effect of.

If you follow the advice in most of these books you will loose weight.

There is no external factors involved.

With RDPD the external factors are extreme. Actually following the advice of the book wont make you rich.

Following a diet will make you slimmer.

Does anyone know how they "shut down https"?
Does anyone have any thoughts on if making patents non-transferrable would help the current patent situation?

I'll admit I have barely begun to think about the implications so it may be dumb from the outset but I think:

* No transferring to patent trolls

* No situations like the link

I haven't really thought about the opposite side of things, was kind of hoping people here would have strong opinions on the matter.
Most likely not. They buy the licence to indemnify themselves, like insurance. But when you don't use your insurance you don't get the money back.
That seems like a good idea. Will try to implement that! Thanks.

What if there was one common "-experimental-" or "-x-" prefix instead of multiple vendor prefixes? Browsers would parse them all and throw away the ones they don't support/undestand.
I guess they block all SSL connections, or all least all those targetting unknown (non governement-approved) hosts.
I bow my head in shame and promise to mend my ways.
It's closer to a protection racket than insurance in this case, isn't it?
I remember hearing about switching to voip when the 2nd gen ipod touch was getting popular, and i was intrigued enough to put off any handset upgrades on my tmobile account in order to stay out of contract in case this voip thing took off. In the 3 years since i have barely touched my mobile phone in favor of the ipod touch, but i keep the mobile for 911. i hope a fix for that comes up cuz even at the cheapest cell plan it is still a decent 50 bucks/month that i'd much rather throw at a mobile hotspot or data only plan

Apple is running a disgusting campaign here in Europe against it's competitors. They even managed to get the European Union to start an anticompetive investigation against Samsung, even though they should be investigated and not their competitors. No wonder Google, Motorola, Samsung fight back. And they should.

Apple even managed that the galaxy tab couldn't be sold anymore here for a few weeks and had to be modified.
When a trial ordered the same fate to their ipads, they managed to remove the ban (and Motorola even had to make a deposit of 100 Million Euros) in one day while complaining that banning a complete product because of one violating patent wouldn't be fair.

Is it "fair" to have a phone/tab banned because it has round corners? They didn't complain there and are still trying to ban all sales of Samsung's Galaxy phones on design patterns or trivial patents.

I have paid for several RSS newsreaders, probably a dozen. (More than half because you can't try iOS apps without buying, though.)

I wouldn't pay for a hosted/webapp RSS reader, however, unless it defied the laws of web app design and cached all the data from my feeds before I started reading, switched between feeds and articles with imperceptible lag and no network access, and had the best UI ever made with HTML5. (Likewise, I wouldn't pay for a native app that didn't sync read/unread state across devices.)

In busy weeks, I 'read' HN via NetNewsWire (yeah I want something better, but that doesn't yet exist). It takes about 4 seconds, plus the time for any articles that you actually click and read.

Bonus $$$: I would pay for an RSS reader that let me click stories in the HN feed and, instead of opening them, add both the src article and the HN comments page to Instapaper.
> It is not your (browser vendors) responsibility to define your own interpretation of the standards. We have organizations that take care of this for you.

You realize that browser vendors are members of W3C and thus essentially creating the standards [for their commercial interests]? For example, the browsers have CSS transforms today because Apple proposed them back in 2007. (Wow, that's half a decade ago; time passes fast.)

> Why the rush?

Because without the "rush" by browser vendors we would be writing XHTML 2.1.14 without any fancy HTML5 stuff.
Valentijn: wat is liefde nu echt - Xead.nl
I'm not sure how that could be done. If I understand correctly it's the person with his name on the patent that is allowing these companies to use his patent in anyway they see fit. Their name is still on the patent so it wasn't exactly transferred.

Can someone clarify the mechanics of this?
Any quantitative change of a couple orders of magnitude brings along a qualitative change.
Then you're living in a bubble. Apache still has the vast majority of web servers and sites and it doesn't look like it's going to be taken over any time soon:

http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2012/02/07/february-2012-w...

Not only that, but in Apache 2.4, the Event MPM is no longer experimental, which addresses Nginx's only advantage (performance).

I recently moved my site from Apache to Nginx and like both. But you're living in a dream World if you think Apache is anything other than a brilliant web server, and the most widely used and successful web server that has ever existed, by far.

This is a classic case of you reap what you sow. Hopefully all these companies will one day come to their senses and move against software patents. I'm not holding my breath with Apples 100B in the bank and large numbers from the other players in this fights.

Who looses? The little guy like always. At least they are picking on people their own size.
Why do you see this as a bad thing? It's been discussed on HN hundreds of times that it's hard for women to know where to start, how to jump in and find out if they even enjoy coding. I'm a complete outlier in my field as a woman in technology, as an actual developer I rarely engage with other women on my level. I was recently at a dev conference and there was another woman there - it was really nice to feel that the space was opening up (and to find out she'd been in the industry longer than me made me even happier).
From my Irish perspective, I'd be more interested to learn how they came from Limerick, went to two prestigious American universities, and ended up in Silicon Valley. I heard for example that they initially approached banks in Ireland with their idea, but could not get funding. I'd be fascinated to read about this if anyone has a link to share (this article really skims over the early details).

I'd also love to see the lads bring their service back to the EU at some stage, it's badly needed!
That was my entire point with bringing up gravity...

Anyway, comparing creating intelligence to creating gravity is nonsensical. I literally cannot make sense of that.

Hi edlea, how flexible/complete is it in terms of API compared to native Java? (RIMlets) And how's the performance of the resulting app? (e.g. is it sluggish like PhoneGap's?)
Never been into these kind of conferences anyway, but as an attendee why the heck would I care if John, or Jessica or whoever is married (happily or not)? That whole remark was just superfluous.

The goal is to quickly test what works and what doesn't. Not to fail. And actually, it is to test the assumptions you have about your potential customers.

Sadly, you can't scale something you wrote in a couple of days. And the feature set will be just the basics, if that.

For creating a product where you can actually start making a living you need to invest a little more time. But it's nice to know ahead that you are actually running with an idea that works.

I also think the fad of "look what I wrote this morning!!" is absolutely ridiculous. But it is a good way to get some quick visitors to verify your new idea.
I guess part of the problem is how women are presented in the tech industry. Whenever you see women on a tech event they tend to be booth babes, or they have been send to the event to attract men.

I was at a career event last week. None of the women representing a company could give a clear story of what the company does from day to day. They where just there to be pretty.

If we want to stop sexism we have to stop this, but i don't think this will happen any time soon.
Is it just by port, or do they detect SSL traffic at any port, and then block it?
The burden of proof is definitely on anybody asserting that intelligence isn't a physical phenomenon. We have no evidence to suggest that it isn't, but a hell of a lot to suggest that it is.

Longbets is fine, but such unfounded speculation doesn't have much use in serious conversation.

"proving the position proving the position"

It seems like you might be misunderstanding the role of science.
Making patents non transferable could result in many a big ideas not getting executed because the inventor does not have the capacity to implement them or is on the way to implement it in a commercially poor way.
Ugh. No. A thousand times no. Or at least, this really isn't true unless all you want to do is glue together modules from other people with minimum code. If however you need to write a 50kLOC module for the project, then you are rapidly going to discover that programming is far and away the hardest part of the project.

Programming is hard. Learning how to write code that is sufficiently modular that you don't have to keep a whole project in your head is hard. Figuring out patterns that retain modularity whilst giving good levels of performance and memory usage is even harder, by about another order of magnitude. Learning how to put together a django project and push it to heroku doesn't even rate compared to the learning curve for being able to write large bodies of code.

How do they distinguish an encrypted connection from a non-encrypted connection? How do they know those indecipherable bits are an encrypted message vs. a part of an image or video? I suspect they just block domains and IPs and common ports or they sniff for common handshakes and key exchanges and kill those.
Pypy - 1.8 released a fast, alternative implementation of the Python language
So where would one find SSL over http implementation? You know, you send your usual POST to a proxy, only the body would be an actual request. Whole handshake could probably be done like this. Not even the proxy would (wouldn't have to) know the content. Encrypted body could be translated to valid XML for extra effect.
Eh.. The Turing test (Turing was a man, and the Turing test is a concept posed by him) is restricted in the way that it is to eliminate irrelevant factors such as robotics.

The concept itself that is presented is quite sound: If you cannot tell that it's not intelligent, how can you say that it is not?

I cannot think of a better test. The only weak point as I see it does not say anything one way or the other about intelligence that is fundamentally different from our own (for example: doesn't happen to use natural language).

"Cats make you crazy by pawing your face all night for attention"

For a while one of our cats was waking me up by climbing to the top of a wardrobe and then launching itself onto my stomach as I slept from this considerable height - which appears to be the cat equivalent of BASE jumping.

The fact that I endured this behaviour a few times with relative good humour probably indicates that I probably have this mind control parasite!

India gets a data center with screaming capacity and tight security
So it sounds like you need a tool that adds low-entropy content to encrypted traffic to make it appear as if it's unencrypted?

What unencrypted protocols are allowed / common?
Of course the author says that! He has cats, he must be infected too!

But seriously, the claim wasn't that the parasite immediately kills people but makes them more disposed towards self-destructive behavior. The fact that, 2000 years after people started living with cats, humanity yet survives isn't really absolute proof to the contrary.
Now it's time to atomise the pricing
I was just googling this and it looks like http://www.nocrew.org/software/httptunnel.html could handle that use case. (Another interesting idea I saw was to steg the data in cat pictures sent normally. I'm not sure if cat pictures are as big in Iran as in the US though such that even user-level analysis wouldn't be too suspicious if there's a ton of cats.)
