> except the PS3 hack?

To be clear, the PS3 problem was not a problem of randomness quality or a PRNG backdoor. It was illegal nonce reuse in the zero-knowledge proof-of-key-possession protocol embedded in DSA signatures.
Bank run on bitcoin will happen when people feel it's totally broken. There were already a couple of major bugs in Bitcoin software itself: in 2010 a transaction was created with 184 bln BTC due to an integer overflow. Was fully fixed in 10 hours. Recent bug with a hard fork of the half of the network was fixed within a 3-4 hours.

When stuff like that happens, some may freak out and sell their BTC. Speculators who still believe, will do the same and then buy at a lower price, recovering the market price. If the problem is fixed, in 24 hours no one will notice the difference. Luckily, Bitcoin is getting more and more decentralized and stable as more people are involved in development and more money is at stake. This motivates everyone to protect the system and act quick to fix the issues.

Quite. The purpose of twisting the definition of 'racism' is to use the emotional power of the term to support an unrelated political agenda. The irony is that the academic definition of 'racism' is only rhetorically useful as long as the common definition remains dominant, otherwise all resonance is lost: Jim Crow and slavery cause universal revulsion; industrious individuals accruing wealth, not so much.
Keep your Gists in sync with your code
Gist is a facility provided by GitHub to store sample code segments in GitHub and then show them on your site. One use of this facility is for building technology tutorials: the host site can contain Gist links that show the relevant samples of code; when the Gist link changes, all of the referring sites automatically show the updated code. This solution allows a developer to annotate code segments from his/her existing code base and then run our tool to extract these segments and update the Gists. This ensures that the Gists are always in sync with actual working code and that the developer only has to update the code in one location to keep all of their tutorials up to date.
Thanks! Such a shame that if you want something in Europe, you have to look country by country, since selecting "Europe" returns no results.
France indeed. And sorry for the grammar ;)
In case of rights: If I buy a car, I own it and the idea is, that I can do with it, what I want. Most importantly, when I buy a car the manufacturer has no longer any claim on the car and can for example not force me to just use one brand of gasoline. This is in contrast to intellectual property, where I do not actually own the copy, but I did only license the IP and have a contract with the creator. ( For example the MS EULA of Windows 98 did prohibit the use of it in nuclear power plants. )

On the other hand, I think that the moral basis for property rights is, that physical property is exclusive, in the sense that only one person can use a physical good at any single time. It is therefore morally wrong to steal, not because one enriches himself, but because the victim is deprived of the utility of the good. Again, this is quite different with IP, since the original 'owner' of the first copy is not deprived of the utility of 'his' copy.

The exact scope of the Commerce Clause is actually one of the classic questions of US constitutional law. Court interpretations have gone back and forth over the years; currently, things are a bit muddy because members of the Supreme Court have a tendency to expand or restrict the clause to suit their own ideologies (i.e., Scalia believes that a federal ban on marijuana can apply even to marijuana which never crosses a state line, because he doesn't like marijuana; he has a very different and arguably conflicting opinion on gun regulations, though, because he likes guns).
Do not define consistent growth with volatility. As Bitcoin is getting more valuable in the eyes of more people, its price necessarily must grow. If it doesn't, it means only one thing: everyone bought (or didn't buy) all BTC they wanted and not much trade is happening.

Draw the trend line and see the variance of 2-day average around that trend. The volatility is silly compared to how much you can gain if you invest early.
Artificial intelligence in F.E.A.R.
By "volatile" do you mean "growing" here? Because that's very expected when more people are getting Bitcoin. Bitcoin's potential is probably millions of dollars per Bitcoin. That will only happen if a lot of people use it.

> suggesting that abortion should be illegal, which is a mainstream position in the USA, is such a crazy-far-right position in Denmark

Personally I think Americans are spoiled.

In Romania under Ceausescu (so before 1989) abortions were illegal. Hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of women (in a country with a population of less than 19 millions) ended up doing illegal abortions under unhealthy, unsanitary conditions. Many of them had health issues because of that, thousands died or were prosecuted for it.

Many of the women that didn't manage to get an abortion, ended up with unwanted children. Conditions were tough as we were living with harsh austerity measures, many of these parents barely had enough money to put food on the table, many of these children grew up in families that didn't want them, many of these unwanted children were given up for adoption, filling the streets with beggars.

Abortions may be murder, but making them illegal is also murder.

If you are interested in what happens when abortions are made illegal, there's a good documentary movie about what happened in Romania. Search for "Copiii lui Ceausescu" (in translation "Ceausescu's Children")
One of the biggest Mac writers even has a blog and defunct podcast called Hypercritical to talk about what Apple does wrong. There's a lot of loyalty, and some blinded by it, but it's often tempered with the realisation they aren't perfect.

I don't see -what- they accuse you of stealing.

The content? It's not theirs.

The name? NINE is too generic to have an association to "9GAG".

What else do you use? You named the site "9GAG for Android", which was risky. Change that, and then ask them - in writing - to inform you which other legal issues they see with your app.

Again, they don't own the content. They could prevent you from scraping their content, and/or revoke your API license, and/or claim that your scraping was in conflict with their TOS, but again, ask them what the issue is.
Too bad the "77 cents on the dollar" feminist mantra has been debunked ad nauseam. If you're looking for real sexism to fight, you might want to start from the morally bankrupt and misandric family court system...

If you're looking for Python cons, You should definitely check out DjangoCon 2013 in Warsaw, Poland (http://2013.djangocon.eu/, 15-19 May, possibly sold out) and EuroPython in Florence, Italy (https://ep2013.europython.eu/, 1-7 Juli).
The point is not about who you should or should not respect. The point is that other people are going to respect certain aspects in people that you don't agree with, and it's silly to say that respect is not real just because you don't agree with its motivations. It's the same reason we don't like c# developers who say that python devs aren't real programmers.
You are correct, but there is no reason to be rude.
In THIS case (the one we are talking about), the sex joke consisted not in that one thing. There was no women being fed involved. There were talking about the repository of a male speaker. Don't you see that this is exactly the kind of "spreading the humor" that transcends the usual stereotype of a women being fed..? If you think that joke (which was supposed to be a sign of admiration for the guys code and I don't think anyone could misunderstand that part) implies him "being a women" (?) then I think you are reading a lot into it. Which is my exact point: you are not reasonable. You make the facts fit your agenda. You are being extremist.
In relatively civilized society, above a certain level of "civilness", these things actually work backwards:

1. Forbidding porn/sex allusions will promote them and also make them more mean - people like breaking stupid rules just for the fun of it and they take revenge for the rule being imposed on them by being meaner to others when they break it!

2. Take too many measures against sexual/national/racial discrimination will increase sexual discrimination - because doing it or even joking about it is considered bad, it starts happening underground, with people smiling and being pro-equality on the surface and busy finding technical reasons to get rid of people of the respective sex/nation/race.

3. Try to much to prevent sexual harassment will also drive things underground and "innocent but distasteful" jokes will turn into actual acts of mean but well disguised discrimination - I bet that a huge number of people will now find "technical reasons" not to invite AR to conferences and that the people whose jokes she considered offensive will make even more offensive jokes behind her back and even try to revengefully harm her career by dirty "underground" maneuvers.

...that's how humans work you know.
These comments support somebody I absolutely disagree with, but two rights don't make a wrong. Just like it might not be a good idea to say something offensive to somebody else, does not mean you deserve death threats for it.

It should be OK to express your support for unpopular ideas on HN, like saying Adria Richards was right or that the people prosecuting Aaron Schwartz did the right thing. On the other hand, people sending threats... To quote the original poster, "don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out." You disagree with stuff? Fine. Downvote and move on, or reply to it and explain why. Don't play anonymous coward.
i also believe this to be true mostly for real apps and games. I dont see alot of benefits for normal web development though.
Other languages in those pidigits benchmarks (Perl, Lua, PHP, Racket, Lisp SBCL and probably more) also use the GMP maths library. So there is nothing stopping Ruby benchmarks also using it as well (just need to request relevant Ruby GMP library are installed on the Alioth benchmark machines).

Anyway you didn't seem too fussed about what the Alioth benchmarks showed in the past - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=634738 :)

You have to take it in the context, and the point of these tees is taking side in a sexual harassment dispute.

>if Chrome gets a 6x perf hit

Who said Chrome gets a 6x perf hit?

You just have the numbers with asm.js.

If Chrome hasn't been optimized for asm.js style code, then those numbers would either be what Chrome already achieves with JS (e.g plain old V8 speed), or slightly faster than regular JS (because of the more streamlined, easy to JIT nicely asm code).
Mistake #1. Listening too much to what high-profile tech celebrities say you should and shouldn't be doing as entrepreneurs.

I've seen a lot of posts reflecting on the situation, including of course this page on reddit. Certainly it hasn't just been a "mass venting of anti-feminist attitudes", although that's certainly been present too.

Brit here. I've been watching the events unfolding over the last week with increasing incredulity. I have to say the reaction to this t-shirt is taking things to another level.

My only theory is that this is the puritanical aspect of the US we always hear about. In the UK double-entendre's are so ingrained into our society that I can't imagine someone being offended by this.

L2 take a joke
During my time inside Trolltech/Nokia, everyone was on Freenode and our internal IRC server. A lot of people were connected through a client called Quassel [0] which is basically a distributed IRC client you can access from multiple machines (-> you'd host it on a server, it stores the backlog and everything else for you).

In my current startup we have the same (internal IRC server) and we also thought offering Quassel hosting [1] is a good idea.

Nice use of the R-bomb there. And adroit use of weasel words ("some would claim") to give plausible deniability.

Unfortunately your objections make no sense. It's well established that some human subgroups have different physical adaptations (eg. lactase production) that have been naturally selected in the presence of local food sources or production methods. How is that unrelated to evolution?
While interesting, it seems (based on the repo) to be Sphinx with some custom plugins. Output looks nice though.
>I'm not sure why you think asm.js isn't a blob

Because it isn't? It's a perfectly normal set of semantics in a language form on top of regular JS.

>in order to achieve those performance levels that you see in Mozilla, you have to interpret JavaScript as something that is not JavaScript, which requires having a spec in hand, dealing with potentially ambiguous encodings, and interpreting the asm.js as a bytecode, rather than as standard JavaScript.

All of them observations that are BESIDE the point if asm.js is a blob or not.

She made allegations of harassment and alluded to gender issues. Most people accept that "sexism" was at issue here, and she herself doesn't dispute this. There's no sense in nitpicking on minor semantics.
A mark becomes a trademark simply by its use in trade, registering a trademark just gives you stronger legal grounds.
The 77 cents on the dollar thing is just a symptom of the same thing, blaming men for all and everything and portraying women as victims (to excert special compensation for women). If you research the paygap issue a little bit, you'll find that it really isn't an issue of discrimination at all (hint: among other things, women chose other professions than men).
I admit that I have started to become very angry about this constant misrepresentation of men as oppressors of women and women being the victims. In reality women are the privileged "class" in our society.

Actually I am willing to shoulder more, as had been men's ordained role for quite a while (in exchange women risk their lives for childbirth), but to then be derided and spat on is galling.

For traditional web development this wont change too much does it? i mean you could write the business logic of your app in whatever compiles to asm.js(which in pratice is mostly done server-side) but in the end you would still do DOM manipulation using JS or not?

You are 95% right. The problem is, the third party always decides it might be a good idea to take something for themselves, and we're right back where we started.

But I don't buy the idea that it's not possible, it's just never been tried before.

Pursuing big data utopia: What realtime interactive analytics could mean to you
In summer 2011:
1. Mining was creating a lot of new BTC in relation to existing stock.
2. No much services and shops accepting BTC.
3. Amateur security on MtGox and misc websites.
4. The biggest exchange was 6-7 months old.

In 2013:
1. Much lower inflation due to mining.
2. Many long-term investments in mining, payment processing and related services.
3. Multiple well-secured big exchanges.
4. General increase in number of hands holding BTC.
5. General increase in education on how to keep BTC safe and secure.
If the joke teller was not fired by Playhaven, Anon would likely not have attacked SendGrid, Ms. Richards would likely not have been fired either, and there would be far, far less controversy overall to discuss.

So the incident that leveraged the situation into such a huge controversy was the firing by Playhaven.

And Playhaven has stated "we will not comment on all the factors that contributed to our parting ways," strongly implying there were factors in addition to the joke telling that led to the firing.

This also implies that without those additional, unnamed factors, the individual may not have been fired.

So the catalyst that caused a situation that seemingly did not need to spiral out of control were those hidden factors, that no one is commenting much about, because no one knows what they are.
Ruby isn't cool any more. Yeah, you heard me. It's not cool to write Ruby code any more. All the cool people moved on to slinging Scala and Node.js years ago.

This made me happy.
I don't believe this bubble is any different to the 2011 bubble in Bitcoin (or indeed stock market bubbles in general). Consistent 100% month-on-month increases would make Bitcoin worth more than the world GDP in short order - that is not sustainable, and clearly indicates a bubble forming to me, particularly in the absence of any fundamental value backing the currency.
Looks like they have gone down the flash route - so no.

I assume part of that decision is to make sure it doesn't work on mobile and avoid cannibalising their premium subscriptions where playing on mobile is a big feature.

That's a lot of nonsense and semantic quibbling. Words mean what they are understood to mean. The school of thought she adheres to is attempting to re-define a word, and they have thus far failed.

Therefore, no, she cannot expect her audience to adhere to her particular definition of racism since it is highly non-standard outside of certain limited circles.

For what it's worth, I also happen to think her "definition" of racism is rubbish. It makes all kinds of assumptions about power dynamics in a given situation and injects motivations into actors where none are known.
