OK. So he was identified as the suspect. First, is there a case against the police? This is assuming that it was police recklessness/negligence and Ryan was never an actual suspect. Second, having been identified as the suspect, did any of the media outlets go on to defame him given that he was not actually tried and convicted? If XYZ News Corp receives the name from an official statement saying he is the suspect, and then runs a story accusing him of murder, does that make them libelous? I'm sure there are editorial standards about what can be said of a person between being declared a suspect and declared guilty.

It's annoying, but calling it "outrageous" is just silly. How much do you pay them and what did they promise you for your money?

I have got used to this great free stuff too, but I don't believe I deserve unlimited free stuff, and I won't get all huffy when they take it away.

Considering that > 90% of the people who witnessed said atrocities are no longer with us (and 100% don't read HN), the time for jokes has come at last. Actually there have been numerous humorous takes on WWII for decades now.

In "jokes", people often state propositions that seem opposed to what we would hope they believe.

Lots of sports analogies on here. I'll toss in mine. I've made a habit of trying new things and have gotten over the "you look stupid when you start" part. Skiing, Snowboarding, knitting, sewing, coaching, aussie rules. Everyone's a newb at some point. I have found that I compare myself to other skiiers / boarders a lot. But that is mainly a safety thing so I know if I should follow them down other parts of the mountain. So competitive but for a reason. I think I get more pissy about etiquette and safety, but generally from people who look like they should know better. 16 year old coming into the lift line at high speed, I see you. I'm a large large man, you're gonna get hurt if you hit me and I played college ball, I'm gonna make sure I don't get hit. Soooo... anyway. Unless you're trying to get ranked in real life, you're really just competing against yourself. You're the one who will decide if you have the time to put into whatever to be good enough to compete at a low national level. There are exceptions, but in sports you can use your brain and experience to make up for physical deficiencies. In Cerebral events you can use persistence and experience. And I've tailed off so Fin

I think what's so great about Dropbox is that they don't really have a focus. They do synchronization, and they're superb at it.

It seems to me that Dropbox is trying to change how customers perceive them and that managing photos is just the first step. Until recently, I think they've largely been viewed as a handy service to share files quickly between friends and across devices. There are a certainly a lot of exotic use cases for their product, and some other commenters have touched on specific ones, but the average person doesn't take advantage of them (or have them). If Dropbox can position itself as a base to store and share photos, videos, music, etc (notice the range of sharing options in the top right of the iPad in the blog post) they can give users peace of mind and easy access to content that is now strewn across several services and not carefully curated in other storage solutions.

Hey, thanks for replying :)

I completely agree with your points. I constantly encounter the same problems when I use other frameworks so I want everything to be fully flexible.

At the moment the REST routes are generated for resources and available through the api/resources endpoint. (For example, /api/resources/users/) you can however add whatever other routes you like to /api/ using your own controllers.

I'm thinking about adding a simple query language to the REST route syntax to take care of some common requests. That may work something like this: /api/resources/users/$near/lat,lon

It's still early stages though so I'll probably go through a lot of ideas before I'm happy with it!

It'll be called Nails (or Nails Framework, Nails CMS, whatever sounds closest to the finished idea) - I have the domain nails.io which I'll be using for this project.

Cheers!

I can't offer a psychological explanation, but my impression from the people I know who are the most eager to offer their opinion on the shooter is that they love it, that this is the coolest thing that happened to them this month. They'd be bored without it (or they'd be stirring up drama with their friends or co-workers.) They say they're angry, but they seem more excited and gleeful. Some people love tracking hurricanes, some people love elections, and some people love tragedies. It's a break from their boring lives, a dramatic and important occasion to share some excitement with millions of other people. Like when Princess Diana died -- suddenly a lot of people realized that she was really, really, really important to them. (Not that she wasn't important to a lot of people, but there were also plenty of people who were determined not to get left out of the excitement even though they only had a vague idea who she was.) With Princess Diana it was grief, and with Ryan/Adam Lanza it's righteous anger. People are just enjoying the hell out of it.
Actually I was thinking about that, untimely, if I don't find anything better, I will just us github.

fMRI is extremely high bandwidth and still in its infancy, and we are currently getting pretty good performance from relatively basic invasive neural implants on the disabled. I've read a couple of interesting articles on breakthroughs regarding the miniaturization of fMRI technology, so I think it's safe to say that keyboards will not be the highest bandwidth interface in the decades to come.

Agreed. Infinite scrolling is a good replacement for pagination which is otherwise arbitrary.

Page 3 of my Facebook feed would always have different content, and no one would ever link to it so infiniscrolling makes sense.

If I'm sharing an excerpt from an eBook however, page numbers make more sense than an arbitrary % scrolled.

I wonder if it's the fact that you're willing to explain that makes you better, that gets you over the "7a" hump, or if it's that after you grow out of the "7a" hump you become more willing to explain? Because in my experience, there are definitely certain individuals who, no matter what level of expertise they are, are happy to field questions, and if they don't know the answer, they thrive in seeking it out with you. It would seem that those are the kind of people most likely to keep learning until they become one of the top in their area.

Maybe there's a good reason most professors are required to teach classes with students far below their level of expertise.
A lot of visionaries are misunderstood because they can "see" things the others can't at the time, and it doesn't make sense to them, which is why they think they are "weird" or "crazy". From that point of view, Richard Stallman was also a visionary, even if it took 2-3 decades before his visions of states or companies putting backdoors in your proprietary software became true.
No possibly about it. The gist owner (https://github.com/dbrans) belongs to the krux organization (https://github.com/krux).
I agree that there's useful information in the brain that we can extract. EEG isn't that method. I love fMRI as much as the next guy. fMRI isn't reading "brainwaves". It images a correlate of neuronal oxygen depletion which indicates metabolism and activity.

Sorry wideroots, I was referring to the late 90's early 2000's where Microsoft started charging for Hotmail "Pro".

If you didn't login every 90 days your free account would disappear. This was after Hotmail itself was built up to hundreds of millions of users with only free users.

At this time they were the main web email provider as well as Yahoo.
Does he even own that image? I thought once it was uploaded to Facebook it became property of Facebook.
I don't disagree at all. It's why I have no problem to continue to host my own email and web like I have since the 90's (Zimbra especially is intriguing) -- ultimately service providing will go through shifts every x years between providers anyways.
I don't care for Kurzweil but I don't see anything wrong with hypothesizing about something and then designing experiments to test that hypothesis, rather than just being a mindless "data scientist." :) Sounds pretty normal to me.
COuld you elaborate a bit on what the benefit of the other representations in your example. I don't get it.
The US's fall from #20 is largely a result of arrests of reporters attempting to document the Occupy movement.

While freedom of the press in the US may be violated pragmatically, you'd have a much harder time challenging it philosophically. That is, police offers arresting individual reporters (especially ones involved in protest) slips by relatively easily, but a federal law placing limits on what information the press can publish would receive strong opposition.
If the project gets big enough you really need to have someone just dealing with the issues. It's super time consuming. I've gotten commit access and cred on several open source projects just by going through the issue log and triaging it. There's a great post I can't find on a good triage process for issues. OSS projects are much more likely to give you access to do tickets than to commit. And on github, you can tag issues to help the maintainers sort the issues.

The problem is, and I don't want to be mean about it, is that Kurzweil is a crackpot and charlatan. This is not to take away from his intelligence or his technical achievements, which are indisputable. However, even Nobel prize winners can be outright crackpots and crazies (Nobel disease).

I don't know exactly what Google's motives are here, I suspect it's something less than actually bringing about some of his, let's say, loftier ideas.
Well, I think the idea is that the link Gawker released initially was the one that got passed around the most and posted on facebook page, twitter, etc. ( I know I posted it. )

As a result, I believe that would also be the URL that ranks highest in a Google search.

Regardless of what text gets added after the number so to an extent, for popular posts, whichever title Gawker releases first will be set in stone.

I'm not very familiar with regexes so I don't really understand why they would need one on the URL. It seems you can drop the string part of that "suffix" altogether.
I think you're missing the point. It's about a society that doesn't want guns anymore. It has to start somewhere.
> Today's web is an insanely social place.

The resolution and latency differences between online social and IRL are really huge, making them really incomparable.

Humans generally require some degree of in-person social activity, some more than others.

A perceptron is

1. simple to code up

and

2. not very useful.[1]

You still need to pick the sort of neural network you're building (there are literally hundreds in the literature) before anything of consequence is going to happen.

The reason to use C/C++ libraries is that neural nets are slow. Slow slow slow. Computational intelligence / nature inspired computing is extremely cool, but the smart thing is to avoid it like the plague unless it is the only workable alternative.

[1] To the point that neural network research came to a screeching halt for some time when it was proved that a perceptron cannot perform a XOR on inputs.
Every time I've gone to RubyOnRails I've had to fend off supposed experts who are really morons. Like since 2005. I've had the experts tell me, when asking questions about how I might fix an issue with upgrade issues with a big rails plugin (now engine) and rails that "You should just wait and the plugin maintainers will do it eventually". No help on what to try, nothing. It took me throwing down the commit log / website showing me as the maintainer to get them to not be condescending. That channel is terrible. The shining light is Radar. Man that dude is good. Tester and coder on shopify. And effing friendly. Can't say enough about him.
> Dutch publishers are prohibited to publish last names of suspects (even after conviction)

In Poland similarily, but it's applied only at the moment he's officially charged and lifted after convinction. Also they cover the eyes on pics, etc.. It's hilarious when famous people get acccused of something ("ex deputy prime minister Andrzej L.", "famous journalist and tv and radio star Kuba W.").

PowWow - Collaborative Screen Sharing
Secondly, with pagination, or with an ordinary non-infinite single page layout, I can close my browser tab and reopen it, restart my computer, reload the page, whatever, and when I come back, it will be scrolled right there in the same place. I have never seen an infinite scroll implementation that could do that.

Anyone who's used LocalStorage want to comment on whether it could solve this problem by saving the scroll position? It seems doable.
This press release was very poorly done. We are all concerned if mail on our phones will be shut off, but with CalDAV and CardDAV support and the Gmail app its probably going to be OK. This message should have been the first thing they conveyed.

Google does some pretty amazing things but if they keep cutting services with these sorts of announcements we will loose faith.
Court smourt, the law can do as it pleases, though the guy is dead so that doesn't really matter here.

What we should be concerned with is how we as a society handle mental health as a medical condition, not as a legal defense. I am talking about early detection, treatment, and if necessary preemptive detainment, not about how we handle the people we who have already gone Rambo.
I'm sure there a myriad of things at work here but let's first consider YouTube comments. Go on YouTube, find just about video that has more than 10 or so comments. It will inevitably devolve into some hate filled tirade, usually racist or sexist in nature. I think basically what it boils down to is that there are a lot of really ignorant (any political site, especially right wing), and angry, hateful people out there that want to burn someone for anything. Now couple the fact that there are so many deranged people and then give them a place to blabber away, the Internet, and you have a recipe for constant demagoguery and witch-burning. It's kind of like "letters to the editor." It's mostly the idiots that are whipped up in enough frenzy to even care to write these kinds of letters; Facebook pages and Twitter campaigns are just another form of this phenomenon.
True, but a restriction on printing the names of criminals and victims would be considered a "content-based restriction," which are subject to strict scrutiny.

There is an established legal basis for allowing publication of victim's names: "Thus, it is ordinarily unconstitutional for a state to proscribe a newspaper from publishing the name of a rape victim, lawfully obtained. This is because there ordinarily is no compelling governmental interest in protecting a rape victim’s privacy" (4). IANAL, but permission to print criminal's names (which are obtained legally) follows from similar logic.

Sure, it's something to get whipped up into a frenzy about. There's a reason we all know about pitchforks and yet few of us would know how to use them for their proper purpose. I think there are several things at play here, one is this kind of "entertainment" that you describe. The other is arm-chair psychology many of us engage in about what this shooter was like, even before there was any stable information out there. It's mostly just ignorance.
next we can decide to ban cars, since well they cause more deaths than guns. right?
If successful, this would become a grass roots level gun control movement with lots of press coverage. However I couldn't find any documentation that has instructions on how to get rid of a gun if the owner changes his mind/fears misuse by family members.
I don't think you can even remotely refer to it as a phone book and this is not to be pedantic. With Facebook, you communicate, albeit mostly inane drivel that passes for "thoughts" but you can communicate. In fact, you can use Facebook to whip people into an angry frenzy, directly, rather than just use it as a directory to call people indirectly organize a lynch mob. In some ways, you could say the harassment is actually occurring on Facebook.
