There's obviously a difference between the indefinite ability to copy content and reselling a single used good.

I do think that filesharing should be legal, but the arguments you're making are losing ones. I think the real reason behind it relates to the purpose of copyright: http://zacharyalberico.com/day/2012/01/24

Apologies about linking to my own blog - but I wrote it up there so I don't have to rewrite it everywhere.
There's almost no one doing anything interesting with the creation and distribution and marketing of new music.

It's 2012, and the major labels are still enormously powerful.
All modern corporations do this. It's called planned obsolescence and it is NOT a conspiracy theory. It's a well established standard operating practice for the majority of companies with manufactured, mass marketed goods.

Planned obsolescence occurs when barriers to entry are so high that the remaining players in the market, with a wink and a nod, form a subtle cartel. These cloak and dagger cartels of course raise prices, but they also increase failure rates to extract rent.

This is the dark side of capitalism and what happens when capital concentrates in the hands of a small plutocracy. The health of capitalism is completely dependent on decentralized wealth. As soon as wealth starts to concentrate, oligopolies and cartels form and they put a brake on innovation in favor of rent seeking.

There's a documentary on this called "The Lightbulb Conspiracy" which is worth watching.

Cool. Just need some postings and I would use it.
The arguments you've presented so far in favor of multiple keypairs on one computer (different keypairs for different remote services) make no sense.

Typical ssh usage is one keypair per account per machine (or one keypair per type, e.g. I have an rsa keypair and ecdsa keypaor). It doesn't matter if you use the same keypair for github and ec2 instances [1]. The only way for the key to be compromised is if your local machine is compromised. If the local machine is compromised, you can't trust any keys stored on it unless you know when it was compromised and you know you haven't entered the passphrase for some of the private keys since the compromise. More than likely, you won't know that, so you will have to treat all keys on the compromised machine as compromised. You'll have to regenerate and redistribute N keys instead of 1.

In your parent post, you identified physical theft as your main concern. Assuming you have a good passphrase, physical theft is a non-issue. Border crossing seizures and court proceedings are different; in some cases they can demand that you enter your passphrase(s), but multiple keypairs will not help you there.

[1] caveat: of course if you use unprompted authentication forwarding, this becomes an issue... a compromise at github for instance could allow the github hacker to ssh into your EC2 instances using forwarded credentials, but that's a time-limited attack and only works while you're connected to github. Private keys never leave the machine(s) they're hosted on.

A lot of those knobs are actually pretty useful, especially when there are competing implementations of a standardized interface that have different strengths. As an example: In scientific computing this often means choosing a particular BLAS or MPI implementation when compiling, sometimes based on the data in a particular run.

Not saying autoconf is awesome (I curse it on a regular basis), but the configure step itself is worth keeping around.
Instead of prefixing protected attributes with underscore (_class) i would instead just wrap those in quotes (valid js, no extra logic), e.g. 'class': 'foo'.
Let's say it's 24" at twice the resolution of 1920x1200 or four times the pixels, with 8 bit grayscale (because this is a fancy e-ink display, after all). USB 3.0 can do 5 Gbps which means 67 Hz would be an upper bound.

You are stating this as a fact but there is some proof to the contrary: Sweden has already extradited people to the US in cases where they really shouldn't have whereas the UK has so far been quite reluctant to do so, see the Gary McKinnon case recently.

No sense to include another library just to change the syntax a little bit

$("<p>",{"class":"gretting",html:"Hellow World"}).appendTo("#helloWorld .output")

And you can also create hierarchy

$("<p>",{"class":"gretting",html:
$("<a>",{href:"#",html:
$("<h1>",{html:"Hello World"})
})
}).appendTo("body")

Which looks disgusting but that is why template engines exist.

An exercise more people should partake in. Sometimes on HN I find it shocking just how completely clueless some of our prolific commentators are re: prejudice, whether by race, gender, creed, orientation, or anything else. The number of times I've seen people in privileged positions try to downplay, trivialize, and belittle those struggling with prejudice has made me want to quit HN more than once.

Walking a mile in someone else's shoes requires some walking, not reading about it on the internet and making armchair theories.

[edit] Seeing the other replies on this post is definitely way too depressing for Saturday night - a lot of loud, moralistic victim-blaming without understanding. For my own sanity I'm going to take myself out of this post entirely.
There's obviously a difference between the indefinite ability to copy content and reselling a single used good.

For physical things, sure, but for digital goods, that's not so clear. A P2P network that automatically lent (copy+delete local) files would require only a very small number of bought copies, if the client could request a copy, play it and then release it immediately.
Agreed on all counts, in addition, I think matte allows you to lower the screen brightness way lower than glossy.

You have to maintain a certain brightness to overcome the reflections on a glossy screen, and I feel brightness is one of the biggest factors in causing eye strain.
Global Logistics Media - Social Media, Good, Bad?, or does it even matter.
One aspect that is probably being confounded here is that hair plays a huge role in attractiveness. By putting on a hijab and hiding her hair this girls attractiveness (at least by western standards) probably went down a bunch of points. So part of what she may have just experienced is what it's like to be an uglier person.

An interesting experiment to come up with would be to wear something that clearly indicates you are muslim but doesn't change your physical attractiveness (again by western standards).
That's the first thing I thought as well.

So? If I were to go to Saudi Arabia and wear jeans and a wife beater I would get looks as well.

You find it strange that people look at you funny when you wear a hijab in a western country?

I have a Muslim cousin and she sometimes wears a hijab to university but stopped because people would stare at her. Obviously! She stuck out like a sore thumb amidst a sea of people with no hijabs. She got tired of people asking her if she had cancer, if she was arab (lol at this one, people automatically think muslim == arab), etc.
My point is that you have no basis for your claim re: lobbyists and campaign funding. Use of government-granted monopolies to achieve particular ends predates modern media, and campaign funding was a much less pivotal issue back in the day when all the money in the world wouldn't buy you anything more than a newspaper ad.
I had no idea. Much prettier.
If wearing a hijab cause people to call you names, throw bad looks or more generally makes you feel discriminated against, what about trying not to wear an hijab??

Maybe I'm clueless and prejudiced and all that but it seems to me that religion was a perfectly "open" choice, ie something you can change at any time.

Comparing that in any way to racism is insulting. People do not chose their ethnicity. People can chose their religion.

Your religion makes you feel bad? Then change it since you can!!

> So?

So, its not as obvious to some of the rest of us. I honestly had never thought that wearing a hijab would change 99% of your social interactions with strangers in a negative way.

I probably ignore women in hijabs more often than other women. I'm not going to any more.
I agree, and I wish we could do that, but how? I won't look half as convincing if I wrap a scarf around my head. I have thought about this after reading about Günther Wallraff[1], and I haven't found a nice way to try this out. Maybe I should "dress up" on the internet?

So far, the closest experience I have is being white and understanding Chinese - but it doesn't hurt nearly as much, the worst people regularly think about me is that I am an unreliable, eternal frat boy.

I'm an atheist, but it's quite clear that many of my religious friends can no more easily change their religion than their ethnicity - particularly for reasons as absurd as other people holding unreasonable prejudices.
Total western white-male stereotype-infused ignorance here but...

Perhaps people avoid muslim women because we don't want them to get in to trouble. I'm surprised to see women dressed like that out in public on their own, because I've been led to believe they need male escorts, and assume that one might be around. if I make eye-contact, I might be contributing to an honor-killing, or perhaps some acid-splashed on her face.
I think the general quality of the screen is far more important than glossy or matte. It's like asking if a 2 liter engine is better than a 4 liter one. In what chassis? At what weight?

The latest Apple displays I'm using that are glossy easily trump my 30" Cinema Display in terms of being pleasant to read. They might be better in matte but the underlying display quality and technology has proven to be far more important than the coating.
People don't believe in a religion because it's convenient. If it were simple like that, everybody'd be atheist, there are no rules attached to that whatsoever.

People have a belief because they believe. Or perhaps because they think a certain lifestyle is a good one (isn't that what bhuddism is? I know too little about this...).
Some of us have walked in the others' shoes, at least in this limited case of discrimination based solely on clothing. Guess what? Humans discriminate on clothing! You can drum up the social justice network and try to remove this neural programming without drugs, good luck with that. You can try and fight it, again, sincerely, good luck, I agree that clothing is irrelevant when judging other people, but I don't think you'll succeed.

However, unlike discrimination based on someone's skin color or gender, discrimination of clothing has a very easy solution for the person being discriminated against: change your outfit. Some people who love their t-shirt and jeans need to wear a suit every now and again if they want to be treated well or taken seriously by certain people (and vice versa depending on social context--some formal suit-loving people need to dress more casually if they go to certain conventions for a talk). If I were a muslim girl getting discriminated against for wearing a hijab, I'd stop wearing the hijab.
Been there, the project stalled when we couldn't get any panels of that size so it had to be custom made, and considering any panels bigger than the standard 6 inches were already expensive the price of these other panels was going to be plain crazy, and we needed no less than 1,000 people to signup for it.
Just visited dubai, even Arab men cover their whole body in traditional dress like women.

The whole point is dont look attractive to other people, just like abstinence.

People get judged all the time. I can give you examples where I felt people judged me because of Eating with hands, drinking coffee with milk and sugar, wearing sandals instead of shoes.
Closest I've gotten is traveling in other countries. Being the only white guy in a sea of non-white faces is... a bit unsettling. Not speaking the language makes things doubly hard, but even without that, it's at best challenging. In my case I know these situations only last a couple weeks, and I can go back to my comfortable world - everyone is not as fortunate as me.

I totally realize it's not really even in the ballpark, but it was close enough for me.
> I'm surprised to see women dressed like that out in public on their own, because I've been led to believe they need male escorts, and assume that one might be around.

That's a very, very small subset of hijab wearers, and you're unlikely to see any of them at a Western mall.
It's all about symbolism. People simplify, people make fast judgments, people use visual cues to make their life easier. If I walk into a job interview in a suit and a tie I get a slightly different reaction than by walking in wearing swimming clothing.

And if it is more than just a fashion statement, but a symbolism of religion, then we open up a whole new can of worms. The wearing of burqa'esq clothing is highly controversial, as its banning in various countries across Europe is discussed and in parts even implemented [1].

How about a turban? You could go for a Sikh turban:

or a Muslim one:

I'm sure you could go to a local gurdwara or mosque and ask for pointers. They'd probably be over the moon.

It's also not particularly hard to look verging-on-homeless poor.

Indeed using a straight razor while children are running around might slow down a person permanently.

When I was in high school I used to hang out with some of the muslim girls and we would do elicit high school things ie smoking pot. Interestingly enough I am a Jew, one generation away from Israel. Anyways, definitely got approached multiple times by muslim dudes telling me I needed to stop being a bad influence on their culture. I always laughed it off. Soon after one of the girls stopped wearing her scarf, everyone realized she was a knock-out, and then I would say the majority of the girls followed. I could really sense them striving for identity and its why I liked hanging out with them.

I want to be clear I never had a problem with any of the dudes beyond a conversation. I think they were confused too because they wanted to defend their culture, but really had no moral objections.
I think you're mixing up fashion and religion.
> Comparing that in any way to racism is insulting.

errr. prtty sure 'racism' was never mentioned. This is an issue of stereotyping and possibly also religious tolerance.

Sure you can change your religion, but do you really think that social norms should be enforced on wider society through ridicule? What century are we living in?
Seriously. Bump that font up. It's painful to read.
Who's complaining about funny looks? Funny looks are what you get when you wear and ugly shirt, or fuzzy reindeer antlers on your head around Christmas.

What she's complaining about is aversion, fear, and prejudice. And I don't think the solution to that is "Try harder to look like an attractive, middle-class white person."
I just want to clarify that I know that the "1s and 0s" have a value and that's what I was trying to point out with my previous comment.
When it comes to skin color it's definitely a tall order - but it's realistic to do it re: orientation, wealth, or a large number of other factors where major discrimination happens.

This is a similar story: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/cross-closet-straight-christian...

The whole masquerade part also isn't strictly necessary, putting yourself close to the issues at hand is also helpful. I've never been homeless, but I've worked at three separate organizations related to homelessness (an employment/retraining program, a transitional home, and a straight-up shelter) and met many people that way. I will likely never gain a complete understanding of what it is like, but hopefully I've picked up enough of the big things that I'm being less of a net-negative on the world.

Mark Twain once said (or perhaps according to the Internet Mark Twain once said): "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness." - purposefully exposing yourself to different types of people along all arbitrary lines of division in a substantial way may be the next best thing.
Right, but I am white as paper and it takes a while to grow a beard. I would look like a male convert, something that (to me) seems much more exotic than a tanned person wearing a turban.
Or she could put her hair in a hat.
Don't you think that your thinking that she might be killed for you looking at her is prejudicial against Muslim men? Seems offensive to me if you won't look at someone because you assume a man will kill her for it...

Do you not look at all women because they might have insanely jealous boyfriends who will then kill them for that too, hey it's technically possible right, so you should err on the side of caution?
I wonder what they would do in one of those countries that attacks and kills people at embassies or sends jihadists off to crash planes into buildings. Probably a little worse than look at you funny or call you a name.
Google Mechanical Design
So I am actually a Google Apps Reseller. Our customers can go directly to Google for support, or through us. Most choose to come through us at no additional cost, some pay us for a higher level of support. Generally, we solve the easy stuff that doesn't actually require Google's intervention much faster than Google would for our customers, and are able typically able to get resolution to Google Support tickets for a couple reasons: (1) we are very experienced interfacing with Google Support (2) Because we are in the top tier of Google Apps Resellers (Enterprise Premier), our customers actually get a higher level of support by default.

The guy below who had another reseller claim they have all the Google Engineers on chat...that is probably true but they don't handle support issues. They will tell you to open a ticket, even if they are your friend.

Not sure why my comment above got down-voted. You DO get support from Google by paying for your Google Apps account.

Ooohh, orientation is a fun one. I have never thought about that - thanks for the idea. I'll make a note for when I'm back home.
Who led you to believe that?

Many American-Muslim women wear a hijab by choice and are very friendly/social people who would be glad to interact with others.

There is a difference between culture and religion. A person who practices Islam in America might have entirely different cultural customs than a person who practices Islam in Afghanistan. (i. e. male escorts, eye contact, etc)

Please don't rely on FUD to inform your opinions/prejudices/judgments. And when in doubt ask.
After professor Messer-Kruse's struggles with the Haymarket riot (http://chronicle.com/article/The-Undue-Weight-of-Truth-on/13...), I submit Roth's approach is entirely appropriate.
Oh, so by that logic I can treat converts to Judaism like shit, but I should be nice to people who are ethnically Jewish?

Do you think I should ask them first before acting like a prejudiced asshole? Or should I just try to guess based on appearance?

Wearing a hijab doesn't cause anything. People having prejudice is the cause. The hijab just allows this white girl to experience it.

People CAN choose their religion, but should they based off of how other people make them feel about it?

You're missing a step... "Your religion makes you feel bad" NO! Other people make me feel bad about my religion. That's pretty obviously prejudice.

Also for most groups of people they don't chose their religion and can't simply change it (family pressures), and while what is described in the article refers to religion (hijab) having dark skin and speaking farsi or urdu is just as likely to cause the reaction in people due to fear of muslims, the prejudiced people are just as likely to filter on ethnic/nationality grounds as religious ones.

It's true. Is it so strange that people would be nervous around a culture where even drawing a picture can get you in trouble? People who know that they don't know enough about the culture are probably right to be cautious until they can learn more
