If you mean changes between 0.7.15+ and 0.8.0, nothing really significant. But if you mean changes between 0.6.x and 0.8.0, well, almost everything has changed!

Sorry for the non-answer... But take a look at https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/API-changes-between-v0.6... and https://groups.google.com/d/forum/nodejs-dev for change log (in 0.7 branch).
Not sure I understand the point of that. Is ESR somehow less wrong for saying Turing wasn't a victim of oppression if he says this because he's mistaken about what Turing was faced with?
How Open To Opportunity Are You?
I am alumni, with my Startup Babelverse, any questions about this awesome opportunity feel free to contact us over at our website.
I generally don't participate in "social media". My Facebook is mostly of invites, updates to businesses I am interested in.

I would argue a Twitter account is much more interesting than a Facebook account. Quite a few notable people have Twitter and they are mostly interesting or funny reads.
That's a problem with the Dual EC PRNG, one of four PRNGs in NIST SP 800-90, not a "skeleton key to ECC" generally.

Given the horrible performance of that PRNG, I wonder if anyone implements it, securely I would hope (with random point generation rather than using the "recommended" possibly insecure points).

Things you didn’t know about BioShock
@jot (from Round 1) made some great comments a few months back:
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3810821

I added a few notes too (I'm Round 2) - definitely think more along the lines of £10kGBP (about $15k) if you want to have a smooth ride. Two months from landing to getting money in CLP into your Chilean bank account (it'll only go in your new Chilean account) is a minimum. Sending money aborad is a pain and requires bank visits (online banking here isn't brilliant).

There's a comment on this post about Mentorship Groups - I setup the first (as best I know) which we've been running for 3 or so months, details here if you want your own:
http://ianozsvald.com/2012/05/16/mentorship-groups-in-startu...

The lack of mentorship will apparently we changed for Round 4 (fingers crossed). Definitely come here knowing what you want to achieve and take all collaboration/support as an unexpected bonus.

Overall I rate my experience here as positive, it certainly got me out of a rut back in the UK. The participants and staff are supportive (and generally lovely), the push to make us achieve is rather weak (hence starting our self-mentorship group). The programme will improve with each new round.
Is it time yet for a campaign of intentional misinformation across Facebook?

Is there anything that is more a threat to Facebook than misinformation? I am sure they track IP and where you are hitting the local switches and routers, on top of the location you provide, but is it time to provide false location and demographic info to spread a marketing virus. What would make advertisers shy off more than discovering that the demographic info is trash and even more useless than the trash Facebook now hocks.
I added a listing.

However I noticed it strongly encouraged the user to link to her/his Facebook to "increase trust" for potential tenants.

I don't know if you've ever been a landlord before, but I absolutely do NOT want my tenants to look at my Facebook or know where I live. That's why I have my tenants mail their rent to a PO box.
What competitive systems ?

People keep talking like some magical Facebook competitor is just around the corner, ready to take on 400+ million fleeing users and assume its position at the top.

It simply isn't going to happen. The ghost town that is Google Plus is showing exactly what most competitors end up looking like.
Of course it is relevant. A large Android market share keeps Apple on it's toes and as mrich said, consumers win. It also means that although Apple is winning by profit margins at the moment, they may not be in the future.
Counterexample: 4chan.

If you can ignore the porn, 4chan, and in particular /b/, is a fantastic resource. There is a lot of noise. A LOT of noise. But it is still the only place where I can get that heady mix of curiosity, intellectual stimulation, and all-around weirdness. The captcha system appears to have reduced the noise levels considerably from their height.

The problem with the sites you mention is a design flaw - the mediocre, boring content drives out the interesting, highly-varying-in-quality content. 4chan has no "upvote" system, it's just raw posts with bumping, so you get a lot more transitory, niche-oriented discussions.

The upvote/downvote system is really primitive...to make a ridiculous analogy, it is to user content as filtration is to wine - the end product is alcoholic, but all of the interesting characteristics have been filtered out leaving you with something cheap, boring, and tasteless.
Also, I might have a different person as the contact person for each listing/property; the way it's set up now, it doesn't let you set name on a per-listing basis, it automatically pulls it from the linked profile.

Actually, that was the whole point. They were not allowed to due to their separate service agreements/privacy policies.

Then, early in Q1 2012, presumably as part of the whole G+ ecosystem push, they unified/changed their Privacy Policy terms across all (most?) services which users also had to accept.

Should you keep a copy of all the code you write?
Alas it has issues. I tried to install, with the initial commands not working. Downloaded the script myself, set execution policy and it stated running. Download issues arise (probably due to being behind a proxy requiring authentication) and after a few minutes the script managed to remove itself.

I will try again when I have a real internet connection.
Non-profit status is primarily about your goals, not your revenue, hoever, earning too much profit (revenue>expenses) can endanger your nonprofit status. If you take in revenue, the revenue-generating activity must be strongly related to furthering your non-profit mission or it will be recharacterized as taxable business income ("UBIT") (but see the tax cases on museum gift shops for examples of how far you can stretch the definition of "related"). Too much UBIT can result in the loss of non-profit status. Any profits generated must be used toward the non-profits charitable purpose.

Why do people register for non-profit status?
- Donations are not treated as income
- No taxes on revenue raised and spent on charitable activities (taxes on UBIT are same as for-profit rates)
- Certain types of non-profits, i.e., 501(c)(3) non-profits can receive tax deductible donations (but donations to any other non-profits are not tax deductible)
- Non-profit status is required for most private foundation and government grants for charitable activities.

You are right about donations vs. investment. Non-profits must constantly raise money from a variety of sources in the form of grants or donations. To avoid "private foundation" status, that money must be raised from a variety of sources. (A private foundation is a type of non-profit with burdensome compliance requirements and restrictive related-party transaction rules.) A non-profit can charge for the services/products it provides, but generally must charge at- or below-cost rates.

Also, salaries and compensation to employees is significantly more burdensome. You have all of the same compliance requirements as a normal for-profit company, but you must also justify the salaries and benefits paid to your officers or generally, any employee making more than $50,000.

Finally, there are restrictions on what a non-profit can do. Money and property donated to a non-profit cannot be given to any of its employees, officers, or donors. It must be used/liquidated in furtherance of the non-profit's mission or given to another non-profit. Political activities can result in the loss of 501(c)(3) status (which means no tax-free donations, but the non-profit otherwise retains its non-profit status). Related party transactions can trigger loss of status, fines, penalties, and jailtime.

However, if you want to make money and still do good, you can follow in the footsteps of Californian companies like Patagonia and register as a "B" corporation. (There are benefits to registering in California.) B corporations can spend money on charitable purposes without the risk of a shareholder lawsuit. Only a handful of other states offer B corporation status; Delaware is not one of them.

LAZY OPTIMIZATION APPLIED TO LEARNING
An unstated principle behind university education is pre-emptive learning with the prediction that you will use that knowledge later. I agree that this is valuable, yet I'd also argue that there are times when you should wait to learn until you need to. Check out my thoughts on lazy optimization applied to learning by clicking on the link to my blog.

99% of the Internet has never heard of cryptography, either. But among the 1% that has, the same 1% knows about keyservers. (The keyservers generally sync with each other, so you don't have to use MIT's keyserver. It is just the one that I happen to use.)
I personally think this is pretty exciting and part of the trend towards very real interactivity in our lifetime.
Fair, but dismissing a thread that could be really valuable to entrepreneurs considering applying isn't great behavior either.
I'd say 10k would help, a lot. If you have this quanta of money in the bank, you can cover all initial expenses via debit cards, and not using credit cards will immensely speed up your reimbursements.

When exactly are you claiming that Apple "figured it out"? Because Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing Initiative kicked off in 2002 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trustworthy_computing#Microsoft...

From what I've seen inside of MS security trumps everything else. Want to change an API? You can't...unless it has a security issue in which case go right ahead.
You seem to come across as petulant rather than someone who is challenging an entrenched competitor with innovation or whatever.

I'm not sure how "petulant"[1] fits into this, but OK.

Less talking, more doing. Just a thought.

We don't do a lot of talking, is the thing. One offhand comment on HN so far... I have to say, I'm a bit surprised at the downvote frenzy. No Metallica fans here, I suppose. sigh

As for doing, if you find somebody doing more "doing" than we do, mark it down on a calendar. I've coded until my wrists feel like they're about to fall off, put in 100 hour weeks for week after week after week after week after week, flown back and forth from Chicago to RDU dozens of times just to keep in touch with my co-founders, and sacrificed more opportunities to go out with my friends, go on dates, or otherwise have fun, than I can count... to write code, do customer development work, do market research, competitive intelligence, you name it. If we fail, it won't be for lack of "doing," that I can promise.

Geez, I'm not usually so defensive either, but I find your comment amusing given the circumstances.

Anyway, back to the grind...

I went to school back then, and the teachers weren't allowed to hit students. They could send you to the principal for corporal punishment, but his options were strictly circumscribed. His biggest weapon, in fact, was the threat of a paddling.

I can't say that's the way it was everywhere, but they didn't need to rely on that kind of thing - if you made too much trouble they would simply expel you, something I don't think happens these days.

Can we just delete this entire meme before it gets started? This is pathetic.

Edit: To clarify, I mean everything said by ESR here. Yes Turings accomplishments are great. However, it's because of those great accomplishments that what the British government did is even more atrocious. Turing made key and irreplaceable contributions to the Allied war effort, and this was repaid by bigotry.

Also, when ESR blamed turing for his castration was just... bigoted.
> inflation is measurably delayed

Can you provide that measurement, then? How long is the period between the moment I pick up a dollar bill and the moment inflation starts to reduce its value? A month? A week? A day? If I pick up two dollar bills, 24 hours apart, is the former bill worth more than the second bill, since inflation hasn't reduced its value since I picked it up?

I have seen children become bored with opening gifts on Christmas because there were just so many of them. From what I could gather, the family really could not afford all the gifts either (they'd be paying off their credit cards just in time for the next holiday season, maybe).

From the other side, though, I have a new niece, and my desire to shower her with gifts and things is something I struggle with. Any time I see something cute, I just want to buy it for her. I have to stop and remind myself that she's got plenty of stuff already.

It seems like a difficult thing to balance.
I'll be the first to point out that OS X was never _fundamentally_ more secure than Windows, and, to some degree was demonstrably _less_ secure than Windows 7.

But, " It was never true. OS X was exploit central for years." is hyperbole. The OS X platform has been remarkably free of exploits, for a system that didn't go out of it's way to enhance security.

I think most of us would agree that the greatest security feature of OS X was it's niche presence - just wasn't an attractive target, so nobody targeted it.
Great point. I initially thought I would float everything on my credit card until I got reimbursed. I found out it doesn't work like that unfortunately. You have to show that the credit card has been paid off for the transactions you are submitting.

They were both also victims of oppression, in different ways and to different degrees. A large number of people were and are.

More attention is paid to the oppression that Turing underwent because it seems likely that it was a major factor in his death. If Einstein's life had been ended at a young age, but after he had made contributions to physics that made clear what had been lost, his death and the circumstances around it would be a large part of what we remember about him.
You know, there are ways to enforce discipline that don't require abuse.

Reminds me of Failure-Oblivious Computing [1]. It takes advantage of the fact that in many programs errors have a short error propagation distance as they are often written as a main event loop and as long as you can get to the next iteration of the loop the error won't corrupt state. For example, if your server crashes on one request, it will probably be fine if it just gets invalid data instead, discards it as invalid, and then waits for the next response.

I'm not sure if this applies well to JavaScript. We might observe that most JavaScript is a set of disjoint event handlers. If one doesn't work right it probably won't break the rest of the site.

I played around with implementing FOP dynamically through DynamoRIO [2] as a class project but only got through a proof of concept and quickly remembered why I hate x86 assembly.

It's a childish complaint. The new startups simply aren't better, because they don't have the network effects. They may have better looking UI, better text classification, better customer service, or whatever you want.

But as long as they don't have the users, they are not better.

And don't forget that recent history is filled with companies that were "virtually impossible to defeat" until they were beaten, and harshly.
USG cannot conjure value out of thin air, so any "free" returns must come from changing the unit of measure. The no-risk USD instrument with the highest rate of return is where conservative money should generally end up, and thus its return is the expected monetary base expansion. And since this expansion is distributed evenly across the economy, by definition it's inflation.

When analyzing inflation in terms of prices, one must also take into account how much those prices would have otherwise dropped due to non-monetary factors such as technological and market progress. If a certain widget is 10% easier to produce than yesterday but the price remains the same due to monetary base expansion, that's a silent 10% reduction of what today's purchasing power should have been. With exponential technological progress, this term is ever-more important.
