Your college does not dictate your eventual status as a "square" or counterculture icon. Timothy Leary, whom Nixon described as the most dangerous man in America due to his immense countercultural influence, was a Harvard lecturer. Ted Kaczynski (better known as the Unabomber) was accepted there at age 16 for his undergraduate degree, later became an assistant professor at Berkeley, and has inspired a whole generation of ecoterrorists and neo-luddites. And what about all the free software/open source advocates that came out of buttoned-down tech schools like MIT, including Richard Stallman?

You can scope the discussion to mass malware on desktop Safari, but that's just reductio ad absurdum. Any fortune 500 or government has to be concerned with real attacks, not just tamping down the noise floor. And as for Apple, they've historically been more interested in protecting their manufacturer subsidy by stopping iPhone jailbreaks--in which WebKit exploits against Safari have played a key role.

Ask HN: Your Opinion of Cryonics?
I am seriously considering signing up for cryonic suspension(0) with Alcor or the Cryonics Institute, and I would like to survey the HN community on the subject.

Here is a video of Ralph Merkle(1), the father of nanotechnology(2) and the inventor of Merkle's Puzzles(3), on the state of the art in cryonics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhPtQd9rAEo&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PL443EDA1A09E0EE10

Do you consider this to be a plausible, worthwhile attempt at life extension, or does the possibility of proper preservation and eventual future revival seem too remote to be worth it?

Your CounterPunch source seems to have quite an agenda. It goes on to claim that Iran has no nuclear weapons program at all- a claim that is not well supported by all the things we see Iran doing.

Even if the article is correct, Ahmadinejad has said things like "this regime that is occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time" and "I have no doubt that the new movement taking place in our dear Palestine is a wave of morality which is spanning the entire Islamic world and which will soon remove this stain of disgrace from the Islamic world." The simplest interpretation of these statements is that Ahmadinejad strongly supports military action against Israel. (Unless you think Ahmadinejad is talking about a more peaceful way for Israel to "vanish from the page of time?")

Also: who cares if Iran has a Jewish population? That doesn't mean Ahmadinejad isn't a threat to Israel.
Israel was founded by Lehi, Irgun, and Haganah. The evacuation plan which led to the population growth of Israel was invented by Irgun commander Ze'ev Jabotinsky. The sixth prime minister of Israel, Menachem Begin, was also a commander in Irgun. Irgun and Lehi led to Herut, which is now the modern controlling Likud party in Israel. Lehi also had Yitzhak Shamir who became prime minister in the 1980s.

Lehi is famous for the Ankara document which proposed a pact with Nazi Germany to help start a totalitarian state (their words) in Palestine, to fulfill Zionism. They sponsored multiple sabotage and espionage operations against the British and in the Middle East. They were instrumental later in the invasion of Iran in 1942.

Lehi assassinated politicians in Britain and was described as a terrorist organization by the British authorities.

Irgun is an even easier case to make. Its motto: a hand holding a rifle with the words "only thus" underneath it. It was self-described as a terrorist organization by spokespeople from it at the time (1940s) and openly spoke of terrorism as the only effective way for a Zionist state.

So yes, Israel exists because of terrorism and is deeply rooted in it at a fundamental basis.

The whole point is that to point out that the current political manifestation known as Israel is a danger for the geopolitical stability of the region is actually a valid observation that historians will see as clear as day in 500 years. I know how politically unwise it is currently, but that doesn't make the reality false. There's lots of bitter pills out there.

Along with that we also plan on providing offline support through standalone clients - though this isn't something we are focusing on at the moment. Right now we just want to get the user experience perfected.

It does give you an excellent indication of where the ships went. Yes, Spanish shipping is not shown much, but when it does pop up, it goes to Spanish areas.

This is an unadvertised feature, but yes, the new processor can handle 16GB of RAM. Last time I looked (although not very hard) I was unable to find 2x8GB sticks though.

Awesome dude. Great idea and execution for 3 hrs of work! Minor suggestions:

Facebook's Telescope on Human Behavior
I have seen a couple of cases of people (or machines) saying "Send an email to <address> with <some word> in the subject line." That seems easy for a human to carry out and for a machine to recognize. This seems to address your objection:

In this perfect world this supposedly is done by the sender... but that, too, is fraught with problems, because that takes a certain level of skill on the sender side and now you've lost the aspect of email where you just click "New Email", bash on the keyboard for a bit, and hit "Send"

It is indeed possible to define little machine interfaces like this and for users to learn and use them. A more complicated interface would of course be more difficult; maybe you would only try to ask technical users to do that, and have a machine send back "Did not parse correctly" if it did not parse correctly. If it becomes common and useful enough, perhaps you could make email applications that provided buttons or whatever to machine-generate machine-readable instructions, and big-business clients could instruct their employees that deal with your machine to use such an application. And maybe you could bug Gmail developers into implementing it as an optional feature, disabled by default--maybe in that "Gmail Labs" thing, although this has a different source. If that doesn't work, then maybe you could duplicate all of Gmail's nice functionality so that those employees feel fine using your email application. Eventually you might get something that could be called a standard out of this, but you would start with just a small use case.

It does seem likely that expecting an interface to work with no prior exchange of instructions ("put word in subject") between the receiver and the sender is, well, hubris. But I suspect you can get a fair amount done with tiny interfaces that are easy to learn. See also:

Spreadsheets in the 70s?

Yes, there were some very early implementations on mainframes and research computers, but the first widely-deployed spreadsheet was VisiCalc, released in 1979, and it really wasn't until the 1980s that PCs became remotely commonplace in commercial offices. Arguably not particularly useful until the early 1990s with Windows 3.1, though there were some pioneers ahead of that time.

Simple: they were following prevailing winds and currents. If you follow modern ocean sailing races, they follow the same routes. Note that as boats approaches the cape of good hope from the east, they often zig zag, fighting the oncoming winds and currents around the cape. Once they round the cape, its a straight shot for the north atlantic. Another interesting route: from the east coast of india to the west - they had to loop way down south in the indian ocean to find favorable winds. Going the other way, its a straight shot.

In the north atlantic, wind and currents generally follow a clockwise rotation. In the south atlantic, generally counter-clockwise. Same for the pacific.

On the other hand, the 15 " MBP is too big for any sort of meaningful work on a plane.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Gmail filters yet. I use Gmail filters for my non-priority tasks. Things that I want to do in groups (like customer service emails) get labeled and archived immediately so I'm not distracted.

Gmail Filters are pretty damn powerful-- not sure if they support REGEXs on email subjects, but that'd be pretty amazing.

Omnifocus is developing a feature to allow "send to omnifocus" tasks where you can send your tasks to USERNAME@omnifocus.com and it will add them to your inbox. There's tons of potential with this, as it could be extended to assign tasks to specific projects, assign priorities, and set task due dates and gcal integration.

Do any email protocols accept XML or JSON? Not sure if that's even possible but I guess you could send a JSON object in the header and write a new client that handles it appropriately...

You're wrong. You're oversimplifying stock valuation to a hazard. You cannot use the dividend discount model to value stocks that pay no dividends. This is a fact. Furthermore, a dividend is not the only source of return from a stock, there's also capital appreciation. A stock appreciates for various reasons including investor sentiment and share repurchases (another way for a company to distribute profits). Also, you don't necessarily receive a voting right for a common share.

Like you said, valuation is a super complicated subject so don't mislead others with an incorrect simplification of it.

>MAD should prevent this, like it does in North Korea

I thought MAD only worked with rational players. Do we know the people who would hold the levers would be rational? We (the west) don't seem to have the same feedback network (i.e. spies) we could depend on as we did with the USSR. That and we had the "red phone" thing. Dunno if that was more gimmick than actual tool.

We don't know what the control structure behind such threat there would be. Can one person cause a launch, conversely, can one person override a launch order?
With all due respect, email is not the problem. You are.

Email is not designed to be a message queue. Applications (and business processes) should not be built on email. You have bugs in a program? Get a bug tracker. You need to handle your accounting? Get a web app for that. Email is not broken because it doesn't do enough. Email is broken because people use it for too much. Do you need to view every process that you interact with in your life in step-by-step flat text messages? No. While the usefulness of aggregating all of those messages in one place may be debatable, I don't think that it belongs in your email account. Email should be treated as an asynchronous communication medium for people only.

The (claimed) risk isn't that Iran would use nuclear weapons against the US in any official capacity. The risk is that Iran will simply leak nuclear weapons to a proxy terrorist organization (i.e. Hezbollah, Hamas, etc.) If you accept the US government's claims that Iran has used state sponsored terrorism as a political and social tool, then it follows that a nuclear armed Iran is a large risk to the United States.

I have longstanding confusion on this subject. What if dividends are never paid?
