"Fortunately there's an ICANN renewal grace period"

Renewal grace period isn't an ICANN thing it's a registrar thing. We're a registrar. ICANN doesn't specify what we give as a grace period at all at least in terms of anything that would cause a violation in our contract. They do ask us to specify the days that we will allow in a grace period but I've never seen any feedback at all as far as any restraints on what that time period should be.
Not at all, but this white paper has nothing to do with the definition of "terrorist". It is concerned solely with senior Al Qaeda leadership.
Good thing all that energy has been put into preserving the 2nd Amendment.
College isn't for everyone so repeat after me.

B students end up working for C students and A students end up going back to college to teach.

I did 13 years in the Marine Corps, Got out during the technology boom. walked into a low paying Tech support job and now making a strong 6 figures. No College, Little bit of tech schools and no certifications.

If I had stayed in until retirement I would have missed the tech boom, Missed out learning a marketable skill that I taught myself while I was in the military, and My job prepared me for working on aircraft in the heat of summer and the cold of winter. No thanks I love being an office IT tech dude.

1. Is there any reason why you're focused specifically on "coupon"? Have you thought about using other, more popular terms such as "cheap oil change" (16k/mo) or "oil change prices" (40k/mo)?

2. Your search seems broken. I search on "Raleigh", and the first result is your sitemap. The second result is for a coupon in Anchorage, AK, which seems to have link-farm-like references to a bunch of other cities. I wouldn't bother looking through your site after that.

3. Discount sites such as Groupon attract and retain people when they have deals that are better than anywhere else. They get these deals by having a large sales force that work on the businesses to get these deals in place. Your site has mostly coupons for $20 oil changes--something I would be able to get in my latest Valpak mailer or a quick search on slickdeals. I don't feel like you'll get much word of mouth by offering something that you can easily get elsewhere.
That's a ridiculous analogy. The war is by no means over, and no one's surrendered.
Sorry, I realized after posting that my phrasing was pretty bad. The current setup looks good for the sort of thing I do– I would pay for it (one time probably)– but if you then made it super easy to set up for multiple users, even if it was a simple shell script or some kind of interface, you could do some sort of tool-subscription (pay once or subscribe for updates). By webhosts I was thinking primarily of people like me who manage a couple servers and do everything server-side for our clients except plug in the fiber...

This is very interesting. I wish that somebody with some expertise had replied to your comment so that I could learn more about this. Apparently everybody is stump.
You appear to be wilfully ignoring the context there, so let me quote it for you:

In the beginning of the 20th century, women were regarded as society's guardians of morality; they were seen as made finer than men and were expected to act as such. Their role was not defined as workers or money makers. Women were expected to hold on to their innocence until the right man came along so that they can start a family and inculcate that morality they were in charge of preserving. The role of men was to support the family financially.

In other words, the idealized (upper-middle-class) role was that men should be able to support their family financially, but obviously not all of them actually did.
All fascisms involve the identification and elimination of undesireables. Power is the method by which that is accomplished, and nationalism is only a symptom of this force in operation.
One of the major legal arguments this paper makes, and backs up with cited case law, is that "due process" does not necessarily imply a court ruling. The "due" in due process has meaning, which is that the process should fit the circumstances.

This also doesn't apply to garden variety terrorists, but to "Al-Qaida and associated forces" specifically, against whom Congress declared war.

Personally, I find the issue perplexing. But this is analogous to a design document/specification for a function of government, and one of the requirements of the implementation is that it must be legal. So, this lays out a design which purports to legal. Perhaps it isn't, in which case a successful legal counterargument must be made. Perhaps it shouldn't be, in which case lobbying the legislative branch is the best way to proceed.
> So you don't like welfare

I don't think that's what he meant. The way I understood it is that by "welfarish" he means "ostensibly benign" as part of projecting a populist image.
A policeman's job is to enforce the law, not kill criminals. In this case that means arresting the bank robber so he can be brought to trial. If the bank robber comes out of the bank "guns blazing" then the police are certainly justified to shoot him as a matter of self-defense.

If, however, the bank robber steps out unarmed and is shot and killed, the family should have the right to bring a wrongful death suit (or something, IANAL) against the police officers in question.
I think you're being downvoted because you set up a bit of a strawman there. By my read, the central focus of this article is to explain a very dangerous vulnerability in an accessible way. It didn't come across as having made a lot of excuses.
Drop of Whimsy
The police will shoot him on sight only within some very well defined circumstances such as:

- Poses an immediate threat to the public or the officer

They shouldn't immediately shoot him if

- there is no weapon in sight, or
- the weapon is pointing at the ground etc.

In any civilised society there is no room for summary execution.

Obviously preserving human life trumps any other concerns, this includes the "bad guy's" life.
This is awesome. I'm impressed with how easy it is to use.
Android also has Widgets. And even the plain shortcuts can do various things... you can have shortcuts to do a specific action like play a specific playlist. You can also have an indication (on both Ios and android) with a number or other information... for example, missed messages.

Also, on Android you have the ability to use the desktop to pick a specific organization for your applications. You can have your workout programs on one screen, then swipe to work apps. Combining that with widgets, you can have controls for music on your workout screen, and a calendar on your work screen.

That's the use of the abstraction, the ability to organize the items into sets for use in tasks and localize them.

The app drawer contains all your apps... but if you only had an app drawer, you'd still want to organize it.
Thanks very much. Also the OReilly book referenced therein looks interesting.
The distinction between a democracy and a constitutional republic is not as real as you make it sound. The only difference is that the constitutional republic has an old piece of paper sitting in a museum somewhere. As we all know, paper has no physical power, so the supposed restrictions on government power still must be enforced (either by a willing government, while that lasts, or an armed populace).

And at least a few of these (grep -iv, sed -n, ls -tr) aren't even unusual. If you ask what -iv means in grep, I assume you have used grep < 10 times ever.
Thanks. It would definitely have been better for those listening to this discussion to hear your counterpoints rather than me having to go look it up in a sea of words. Especially since I'm not really interested in the field. Also, you called his criticism simplistic without explaining why. Not very good manners.
Nazi Germany was organized and hierarchical and wore identifying uniforms (unlike AQ, which is purpose-built cell-based). When German forces were defeated, there wasn't a threat of ongoing action from factional Nazis --well, there were a few who refused to surrender and became saboteurs and the Allies did search for and destroy them.
Core Rails, however, isn't moving towards embracing the pure fat client model. (DHH has explicitly ruled out doing so.) That makes me a bit less interested in the benefit of any JS library's Rails integration.
Pedalpete,

we think notes next to videos are very important, as they help users decide whether they want to spend time to watch videos. They also serve as news headlines, so people can get the basic info right from them. This is why we decide to pay it safe by showing one video per line, so we are sure we will have enough room for the title and note.

Regarding those buttons, if we move them closer to the content above, will it make them less "disconnected"? We put the comment button on the left side because it is closer to where users start to write comments.

To your last point, the two pictures represent stories, which are collections of videos of the same events, like "US gun control debate". The video boxes below are the latest videos of each channel, which are much broader by definition, like "US news". Channels help people navigate through content and subscribe, and stories provides in-depth and consistent info. Together they create a 2-dimension matrix of content at Circcle.

We currently have 9 channels, and 20 stories. The number of channels will be stable, but we will create new stories quite frequently. There needs a way to convey the difference between "story" and "channel" on the sign-in people, so users are not confused because of inconsistency. Very good feedback. Thanks.
Remember the posts on HN a few days ago how we're all just as poor and working even harder as we were 50 years ago? This is why.

This is what our society spends its money on. A crack team of Oreos marketers. Words fail me.
Democracy does not rest on a limitation of power. For the better part of US history, there was almost no Constitutional check on state police power (since the Bill of Rights didn't apply to the states until the 14th amendment was construed to make it so).
No it isn't. You may not like the AUMF [1] but it defines who terrorists are (albeit broadly) and empowers the executive to use military force against them. The constitution promises due process of law, not that said law will be administered by the judicial branch.

I paid to renew the domain $29.00 since it was a .co domain.

GoDaddy deleted the domain AFTER the renewal was done, simply because I removed the credit card information from them so that I can manually renew the credit card.

Also - the $29 was charged, domain was renewed..and then cancelled 2 days later without permission. Sounds weird..more coming up.

Godaddy didn't really refund but kept the money even after I supposedly have cancelled all the domains in their account..
In any reasonable situation what these people are allegedly doing would be grounds for trying them for treason, for which they could be executed. We are skipping the "pesky" catching/trial step because we find it inconvenient.

Now yeah, everyone is saying that expecting people to arrest others in a military engagement is crazy... but what is happening here can hardly be called military engagements. These killings are not taking place in the heat of a firefight, they are meticulously planned with the sole objective of killing the target.

Any reasonable man outside a court of law would call these executions. Execution by missile, without a trial.
Wonderful essay, thanks for posting it.

For servers, I have seen numbered-names work quite well in most of the projects that I've worked on -- www01, www02, app01, app02, db01, mq01, mq02, so on and so forth.

Workstations my university were named by location -- swlab01 or even by the hall numbers, 496-01, 496-02.

Unfortunately, I've never come across more creative themes of hostnames like colors, or planets in Star Wars or football players etc. But I will definitely re-read this RFC next time I get to setup a lab or a series of servers from scratch.
Honestly, I think slashdot's is too complex.

It dissuades too many people from taking a position via messy ui.
Yeah, I mean, I don't think the "obvious" way (my own word) is the right way to do it. That's not actually the way the U.S. does it, either, as you say. So I probably shouldn't have said that.
The full text of the purported Justice Department white paper mentioned in the submitted blog post:

http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/msnbc/sections/news/020413_DOJ_W...
Reading the paper, the justification for this authority is the existence of military conflict between the US and Al Qaeda. From the AUMF: "The President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons."

There's a reasonable argument to be made that the AUMF in 2001 is too broad, but clearly, the intention is to declare the existence of a military conflict with Al Qaeda. The US has not, to my knowledge, declared war against Prophets of the Great Gazoob.
I can think of two big reasons:

Invading Iraq was done after an enormous amount of public debate, with the broad approval of Congress, the UN, etc. It may not have ever been the right decision but it was unambiguously "okay" from a following the rules in letter and spirit sense. These assassinations are being done in secret by a president who claims he doesn't have to explain himself to anyone.

There isn't a ton of upside in invading a country, compared to the amount of effort and oversight involved. There are easier ways to funnel money to the Military Industrial Complex or distract from domestic political shame. The only real upside is ideological, either rightly or wrongly you think it's a good idea for whatever faction you align yourself with.

But assassination of the local population is so very useful. It's a Dremel that a bad leader can use as a half-ass solution to any problem. For the kind of person who would aspire to be President, the logic of assassination is so clear that you don't even have to be paranoid: "That person is an inconvenience to me. I have the power to kill him. Kill him."
This sounds right. I guess I would be in favor of drone airstrikes that froze suspects in carbonite so they could be collected for questioning.

However, focusing on current technology, I think the scary part about these rules for airstrikes is:

- Suspected people can be killed without being told that they are wanted. This is made worse by the fact that the list of wanted people is not publicly available.

- Suspected people can be killed without being given the option of submitting to trial (no "stop or I'll shoot")

The above two items make airstrikes unpalatable for me. Thankfully they don't seem beyond remedy (perhaps version 2 of the drone shoots down a ball-and-chain + warrant before resorting to a missile), but in the mean time I find it very disturbing. If this was happening in America I would feel like America was over.
I tried to unlock and transfer the domain first..see the note at the bottom..

Since it was going to take a while (couple of days) and since the domain was going to expire in two days..I decided to renew the domain anyway with godaddy.com to try transfer it later.

Are you taking a reduced salary? How much would they give you if you had invested that amount in cash instead?
With free.
> For the better part of US history, there was almost no Constitutional check on state police power

Yeah, that was a mistake which was corrected.

You could just as easily say that democracy doesn't necessitate allowing all people to vote regardless of skin pigmentation, since at one point we had not yet recognized that it in fact does.
In what essential way are Al Qaeda "military" rather than "criminal"? They aren't taking to a battlefield or wearing uniforms.

We certainly aren't treating them as Prisoners of War when they are captured.

Draw me a bright line. Or, hell, even a dim, wiggly one.

It makes for better founders and better companies.

Can you explain this part a little more?
These are not "rules", these are justifications should the political fallout be of the atomic type. Rules is a horrible euphemism for this absurdity, it implies that there is someone to enforce these rules, which is what is so conspicuously absent from the picture here.
> If you're going to say that terrorists can be killed without judicial overview, which I think you have to, then you can't say that doesn't apply to those terrorists who happen to be American.

What about (people labelled as) terrorists who happen to be American residents?
They were written by officials of the Obama Administration for policies established and enacted by the Obama Administration and used to evaluate decisions the Obama Administration is making.

It seems quite logical to call them "Obama's" whether they are rules or justifications..

While there's great feedback here, it's interspersed with information that is either outdated or just flat-out inaccurate.

Overall, Angular is a much more extensive framework than Ember.

I don't think this is true. For example, AngularJS, as far as I'm aware, does not offer a persistence story at all.

Injection and testability.

Ember.js does dependency injection too; we just roll it into our conventions so that new developers don't need to learn what dependency injection is. If you have to learn a ton of comp sci terminology to start learning a framework, they blew it.

Additionally, Ember is fully unit tested (over 6000 unit tests at the moment) and, because of dependency injection, loading up your app in a clean state and testing individual components (models, views and controllers) is easy.

Support for partials and inclusion of templates. This is another thing I really missed with Ember.js, which offers no easy way to break down your HTML templates into smaller, more manageable files.

This is just flat-out inaccurate, and has never been true. Ember has supported breaking up templates since day one.

Documentation. While the Ember.js documentation is fairly large, I found it very unorganized and I often resorted to searching the page to find what I need.

This has been fixed and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. We still have a ton of stuff planned to make it even more friendly for beginners.

Cascading updates are being executed right away.

This is simply not true. In fact, Ember's run loop is what powers many of the nicest features, like deferred DOM updating and binding synchronization. I'm a little bit surprised that other JS frameworks haven't copied the idea, to be honest.

You need to remember to call the setter: object.set('foo', newValue)

I agree that this is not ideal, but the flip side is that frameworks like Angular have to iterate over every bound object when something in a scope has changed, and check it against previously known values to determine if a change has happened. This "dirty checking" can quickly lead to pathological performance issues. We're all about ease-of-use, but not when it turns into a footgun.

As you might be aware, Yehuda Katz is on TC39 (the committee developing the next version of ECMAScript). ES6 supports object proxies, which provide sufficiently rich semantics that we will be able to drop the get/set requirement if you are targeting ES6 browsers. We are ready to add this to Ember as soon as proxies land in popular browsers.

It's actually disappointing how much FUD is in this article. Competition is great, but let's deal with facts.
No, it _is_ fully as real as I make it sound, but it is an _intellectual_ distinction. People who would like the government to have arbitrary powers argue that the difference isn't really real, and it's important to counter that.

The only difference is that the constitutional republic has an old piece of paper sitting in a museum somewhere.

No, the specific contents of that piece of paper also matter. Not every constitution establishs a constitutional republic, or a good one.

As we all know, paper has no physical power, so the supposed restrictions on government power still must be enforced (either by a willing government, while that lasts, or an armed populace).

I agree here, and this is the tricky part.

Hopefully more people will come to realize that while they may be in the majority on some issue for some window of time, overall, they need protection from arbitrary governmental power.
Proprietary attributes for templating are confusing. So confusing the author put the ng-repeat in the wrong place (I think).

Can someone familiar with angular explain how you would would make a special case '<li>There are no names in the list</li>'? It is obvious to me how to do it with ember, but non-obvious in angular.
> well, there were a few who refused to surrender and became saboteurs and the Allies did search for and destroy them.

Interesting article about Japanese troops who were not aware of the surrender, or refused to recognize it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_holdout
From the original interview:
"The only advantage you had over a newcomer was that you were prepared to read the manual."
So true still today. I am always astonished by how much time some programmers are wasting by not reading manuals and how much of a competitive advantage even basic reading comprehension and willingness to do so is.
