> - Telling an uncleared person what is classified amounts to giving that person even more classified material that they're not allowed to have. Obviously, so is saying that there's classified material on the page at all, but arguably less so.

What recourse does a person have then? If the information is publicly posted, it hardly seems more of a security risk to tell one person what to remove than have the 'secrets' published for the entire world to see.

Additionally, how can a company such as Wikipedia possibly comply without any specific information? I.e. - how can they prevent the re-posting of said information if they have no idea what that information is?
I am the owner of an ASUS RT-N16. I purchased it when my Linksys WRT-54G died after 4 years. It really is a fantastic wifi router for the reasons you list. However, if you live in an apartment complex you might find the 2.4GHz spectrum very crowded. Especially if there are others with 2.4GHz 802.11n, which uses more channels than 802.11b/g. This might make it worthwhile to purchase a 5 Ghz 802.11n router.
You're an outlier though. Making the code look authentic means burning through valuable time and money on a special effect their viewers almost certainly won't know enough to care anything about. It's just not worth the effort for anything more than "something that looks like code."
i don't see how it makes any sense for samsung. they're a hardware company, and the only way an app drives hardware sales is if it is exclusive. if you make whatsapp exclusive to samsung devices, you take away all of its value.
Still seems to be very little. You can get some boxes that convert adsl to ethernet (ATM over ethernet or whatever standard your country uses) that basically have no config and connect those to a router.
Check In, Flame Out: How To Save Foursquare
'National secrecy' is not a new concept however since 9/11 it has been used as a paintbrush for broad-sweeping and baseless applications, and this case is just another example of that extra-judicial nonsense.

Wikimedia was perfectly within their right to tell the DCRI to pound sand, and when DCRI threatened an unrelated individual then they lost their credibility.
There are some technical reasons, such as that the encryption is broken, the protocol isn't open and they have everybody's address books. Also, you can only use it from your phone. But (apart from the address book issue maybe) most people don't care about that. Usability-wise I like it more than Google's IM clients. Since I pay for the service, I trust them more than I trust Google, which is an advertisement company after all.

I'd much prefer it if everybody used XMPP, but unfortunately that's not the case.
I'm worried about the tendency to letting just "nontechnical" people "define the problem", and the general relegation of "technical" people to only build and execute a vision.

Some people have a background that deals mostly in perception and form, while others deals mostly in structure and function. If both balance strategic trade-offs of the product, both are designers. If they only execute plans, they are craftsmans and technicians.

Which one of them is better for "defining" the problem deppends on the problem. Both can learn to have holistic vision, and how to understand where their expertise and skills end.

There are creative and intuitive technical people. They are out there, as many as "artists" that can truly design products.

Definitely. There appear to be more than 30 named networks within range of my iMac. That's one reason I've wired my iMac and my fiancee's iMac with cat6; as I wrote in another comment day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5192837 :

It's also amazing how prevalent Ethernet still is, even when wireless is a competitor. The other day I left this comment: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5052448 on HN, because in some circumstances running a cheap ethernet cable from a router to a desk, couch, or other work station can still be a real win, especially given how inexpensive even very long ethernet cables are from Monoprice.com.

They last forever, aren't subject to the level of interference wireless is, and, in many conditions, have faster data transfer speeds. Ethernet is still great.
No, it just means so far Apple and Microsoft were not that interested into doing that. I don't count with the commercial UNIX vendors, except Sun, because those only care about C and C++, mainly.

But this is going to change slowly anyway.

Sun did experiment using Java in the Solaris kernel, they just didn't went that far due to what happen to them.

Apple first played with GC in Objective-C, and now you have ARC both in Mac OS X and iOS.

Microsoft played with Singularity, only allowed .NET applications on Windows Phone 7.x and Windows (Phone) 8 uses C++/CX, which uses a reference counting runtime (WinRT). While C is considered legacy for Microsoft (official version).

C++11 has reference counting libraries and a GC API for compiler implementers.

Android has Dalvik and the native applications are actually shared objected loaded into Dalvik. Contrary to what some people think the NDK does not allow for full development of C and C++ code, except for a few restricted system APIs.

Sailfish and Blackberry, Qt makes use of C++ with reference counting and JavaScript.

FirefoxOS and ChromeOS are anyway only browsed based.

If there is natural selection in this, it might just be that manual memory management is going to be restricted to the same set as Assembly. Interacting with hardware or for special cases of code optimization.

So a systems programming language using either GC or reference counting, with the ability of doing manual memory management inside unsafe regions, might eventually be the future.

Seems rather anodyne and doesn't seem to have much (or anything) that could be considered sensitive the fact that a state has installations like say RAF chicksands or the Lincolnshire poacher numbers station - both of which have Wikipedia articles.

Sounds like some french civil servant overracted - though unfortunately the French do have a nasty poujadist anti American strain that can come out at times.

We don't actually know that, this is an assumption.

Yes, obviously, DCRI bungled the handling of the case. That doesn't make the case meritless.
It has no hierarchy. First, I would centre your name, address and information and draw a line under them. I would then create sections: Projects, Experience, Skills, Education

Then I would have a table (hide the grid/border) and be consistent where I put the date, or position. Take a look at my resume: http://imgur.com/6dGtlks (took out my address and phone number). If you need this template, email me and I'll send you the word doc template for the table. It took me hours to make.

Dates are under the same column. I used the same heading to emphasise the position. And the location is under the same column. This consistency is what will have employers take a look at it.

People who read resumes will immediately throw it away if you do not have a nice way to present it, and guide their eyes to what is important. For my resume, an employer immediately knows each block is a position. They can read the position and jump to the next, back and forth, easily.

As a developer especially, you need to learn design basics. Read: Design for Hackers by David Kadavy. Okay this is way overboard for a resume, but the takeaway is that you need to know how to drive a reader's eye. When I looked at your resume, it was not pleasant to look at it. I literally scrolled through it in a minute and closed it. I had to re-open it again as I was writing this paragraph.

Now, as I'm looking closer at your content, there is something there. But you are not highlighting your achievements properly. I would write:
- Project Name
- Position
- What you did --> Do not exceed two sentence. It took me a long time to get mine done and had many people look over my sentences and edit them. Do the same. Ask friends and family.

Do not include technologies there. It's better to have one big skills section. Because an employer will quickly look at what you've done before, then jump to your skills As soon as they see 5 buzzwords that they like and see, they'll contact you.

I may be wrong, and please anyone correct me if I was wrong, but I was contacted by Apple twice and Google once just this past month in March. I interviewed at top startups in Silicon Valley and NY this year before I signed an offer in February.
There is a programming language for making really cool art called "Context Free":

"Context Free is a program that generates images from written instructions called a grammar. The program follows the instructions in a few seconds to create images that can contain millions of shapes."

The language is impressive in how complicated the resulting images can be from a few simple rules. Here is a link to one popular image in their gallery along with source code:

Yes, there is a certain catch-22. I'm guessing that there is precedence in how intelligence services interact with the press. Surely, similar issues come up from time to time there.
I just had U-Verse installed yesterday, the tech said you can use your own router if you like. My router is still with my old roommate though, so I haven't tried it - But I see plenty of ethernet ports so I don't see why it wouldn't work.
What's App is huge in India. The standard term here is "Whatsapp me". I almost stopped using sms & almost entirely use whatsapp. Simple and clutter free.

One thing that worries me with Google's purchase is the ads. Google will want to introduce while I would prefer to pay the annual fee and keep it ad free. Let's hope that doesn't happen.
'Chrome' used to refer to the GUI elements that surround a webpage - scrollbars, back button etc. Google changed that.

Google will effectively Google-bomb the web development word 'blink' too. It is no big loss.
One year free, then 1 usd a year and promise of no ads: they are here to make a healthy revenue on a great messaging solution.

It's brilliantly done (-some security issues) and I happily pay a dollar a year for it.

I am a Windows user but I am seriously considering buying a small mac computer (maybe macbook air but I want more ram) for open-source development. It's no surprise that today, many tools, many functional languages work best on Linux and MacOS. All the screencasts I watched recently were on MacOSX.
I tried many things to have it both ways :
VMWARE with Ubuntu : X Server crashes every time when I use the browser
VMWARE with Mint/Fedora : Crashes before that
VMWARE with MacOSX : The whole thing went into a crashing loop after 10 minutes.

Hey Zack: signed up for The Pitch, got a confirmation email, had to actually copy the token from the end of the confirmation link and put it in the "token" field. Clicking the confirmation link itself just led to a 404 error. Something to look at for sure!
I think this is a really revealing story. Not revealing as
in what the French Government were worried about specifically but as in the changing of the world.

Firstly the grey world of interesting classified information - it has long been the domain of Janes' Ships and similar publications - who themselves had been "trusted" not to go too far, and only occassionally (as in the reveal of the Stealth bomber as an airfix kit in the late '80s) does it come to mass public attention.

This resulted in a grey world where secrets were not actually secret - just private.

Secondly - the loss of privacy. We worry about it for individuals - but it is happening to governments too, and faster. And they, like us, have not accpeted the new reality - there is no privacy. Facebook can determine if you are having an affair, are gay or ill. Combined tracking of sites and queries can reveal almost anything about ourselves and our medical conditions. Concerned your employer might know you are rethinking your sexuality? Don't Google "gay bars". Don't friend anyone. Remove the battery from the iPhone before going out for the night.

The same goes for governments - if it is not a secret, it is
open. And it is not a secret because you say so - its a secret because no-one knows.

Thirdly this leads to a simple choice - decide on the things you are going to keep secret. And keep them secret with all the resources of the State. This clearly does not work in the "I say that is secret and you will now forget it" approach taken here. It works in the not F$%king telling anyone sense.

Fourthly - Most things will be open - its not feasible to hide a 100ft tower in the middle of the French countryside.
You cannot keep a plane secret. You cannot keep a prison secret. In fact there is not much in an open andinquisitive society you can keep secret.

What does this leave? I am not too sure. Secret rendition flights are monitored by plane-spotting enthusiasts and soon will just be a google-satellite search away.

I think it will be a better world - less secrecy usually means better function, but there is a really big threat - the tempting way to keep things secret is to keep everything secret. Shut down the open, democratic society. Shut down inquisitiveness. Piece by piece.

And we do need to fight that at each and every turn because until governments get it - this is their default, tempting solution. Fighting terrorists? Lets torture some. Nuclear strike warning network under threat? Put wikipedia under French control.

My only suggestion is as follows: define National Security. Something like a reasonable belief that this things will threaten to destroy 2% of GDP or 1000+ deaths of citizens.
Embarrassment to Politicans? Loss of a couple of agents? Not likely. So when someone quotes National Security, people listen. And if you quote it for a wikipedia article - woe betide you.

If we do it right we shall slowly find that like online security, you get it right by actually being secure.

Lesson here - security by secrecy, is no security at all.
I pause PoI, too, but find the results more amusing than off-putting (one episode had a genius kid writing some overblown mega-compression code, but the snipped that marvelled the main character was basic C file munging).

I don't really mind abstracting anything high-level and taking shortcuts -- it's hard enough watching someone navigate a web browser in real life ("Ctrl-L, goshdarnit!"), I certainly wouldn't want to watch them go through the search results in a TV series. Just like every OP scene boils down to one dramatic event, not hours of meticulous work.

I just get riled up when the basic computer operation is totally unrelated to the real world, because by now people kinda know how a computer works, it's not the early '80s anymore. Two people typing on one keyboard, 3D views etc.

One thing I've accepted by now is the useless display of data when searching. Non-matching ugshots flashing on screen and the like. A progress bar just isn't very exciting.
(Actually, if it wouldn't slow down the actual operation, more real-life interfaces might benefit from something like this.)
hey namank, no motivation just sharing my thoughts. we're building eligibleapi.com though if you want to check it out.
All they have to do is release a very cool game every few years and they'll be fine.

It's not like anyone else is releasing good games on a faster schedule. Most companies just pass the time releasing crap.

The number of people who use whatsapp is very high even in my not so techie circle of acquaintances in a developing country. Not to mention it has direct access to all the phone books of every user along with their very real name and other info. This is more of an asset that cannot be converted into money directly (or indirectly legally at least)
It's not a problem by itself. Nothing wrong with fooling around. However, if your objective is to produce something then it becomes a problem. When there is a set deadline or a resource limit you're forced to make decisions, while if there are no limits it's easier to fall into "creative blockages".
I mostly-bricked a Linksys doing a security analysis on it. It still works, but the UI is completely locked up; I can change nothing on it.

What can I do for Mozilla
The fun part is that the Oracle of Bacon etc. has given us a great way to drive home the degrees of separation stuff not just for movie stars, but by making it fairly easy to find your own degrees of separation from Bacon.

E.g., I'm Norwegian, with no direct connections to the movie industry at all.

But if you include documentaries, Gro Harlem Brundtland, a former Norwegian prime minister and WHO director, has a Bacon-number of 3 (she was in some documentary that included Morgan Freeman)

As a child, I pretty much ran into her while on vacation. In high school, I interviewed a member of parliament that had regular dealings with her at various points in his career, and later I was politically involved and did debates against a later minister in a Labour party government, etc. I can find a number of other things connecting me to her.

Depending on how strict you want to be, I can "trace" back to Kevin Bacon either directly (tenuous) or about half a dozen people that both she and I had dealings with, in the latter case with 4 people separating me and Kevin Bacon.

Alternatively, I can find a link to Kevin Bacon via Mao Zedong: I used to know a guy that met Mao on a trade union trip to China in the 50's. Mao obviously met Nixon, and Nixon and the Clintons know each other, and Hillary Clinton was on Entertainment Tonight with Kevin Bacon at one point. Alternatively Nixon mas in a TV special with Robert Wagner, who was in Wild Things...

I could probably find dozens more paths to someone in the IMDB data.

Most people can probably "connect the dots" via people they can name in their social circuit to someone in the IMDB dataset in at most 2-3 steps, and actually find a specific path to Bacon...

Quite likely you can find several weird paths. Find anyone who has ever served as a member of congress or parliament in your respective country, for example, and you have at least an indirect path to a head of state, which gives you a path to any of a large number of high profile heads of state that have IMDB credits...
I filed one with the ekg-maintainer and try to folow the development. Hopefully, the cabal path issue is solved when 2013.02 comes out.

It so, so doesn't work like that. You don't get to make a spurious claim and then defy anyone who objects to find evidence it's false. You personally were told this in excruciating detail on http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Talk:Cryonics .

Cryonicists really just don't get burden of proof.
It's not entirely simple, because when they realise the mistake, they have to correct it. I don't know how to unpack the question of whether Facebook has realised the mistake, and I don't know what Facebook's internal state is.
Michael church makes an excellent point on one side.

There's another really important aspect: the multiplicative productivity speed up of building systems by working with a larger community of smart engineers. It's just damn faster to build large tools / libraries when more people are helping out.

I know some S class epic level engineers, some of whom I'd like to consider friends. The engineering projects they do are ridiculous, amazing, and just damn bAller.

But If you ask them why they open source, it's not just all the work opportunities they get. Another large part is that no one person is smart enough and productive enough to do everything on their own. (As much as we all dream of being super human. )
