What's necessary is for a concerted multi-state initiative to render illegal the passage of state laws lobbied for by organizations such as ALEC. Yes, this is a recursive problem: such legislation would appear to fall foul of itself. But if we add a rider that only laws lobbied for by organizations drawing funding from commercial entities or their cut-outs (e.g. charities funded by commercial entities) would be banned, then it might be workable ...
UPnP doesn't leave your local network, so no. You cannot forward ports at all behind CGNAT.
I can also opt out of my ISP's DNS hijacking, but I don't bother to anymore. (It keeps forgetting me when I get a new address.) It's simply become the new norm.
It's already been tried for some foods:

This kind of perverted terminology is what I would expect of a fascist state. Playing such transparent mind games does not shine a very bright light on the lawmaking process.
No, no, this must be a step in the right direction - it brings animal rights up equal to those of human children!

After all, if you see a child being sexually abused and use your phone to record it on video as evidence for the police, you've just committed a crime by creating illegal child pornography. (In most parts of Europe & the USA, at any rate. Seriously.)

It's a crazy world that we live in...
the fuck? why is it okay to put up shit like this if you don't have any external validation?
Why do state employees enjoy the privilege of pensions and free healthcare? Why can't we force them into the real world of shitty insurance plans, financial responsibility for their own retirement supplemented by social security checks, you know, the life style that private sector employees are "enjoying"?

By "private sector" I don't mean the tiny group of high-tech workers and other 6-figure professionals, but regular people who represent the median $61K/household income, just to be clear.

Isn't this just utterly fucked up: to pay for state employees entitlements while not being eligible to receive any ourselves?

I was hoping that California will simply go bankrupt and we'll be given a chance to start from scratch, but apparently a State cannot be bankrupted, so how are we supposed to get rid of Sacramento without resorting to violence? "Voting them out" is clearly not working because they're simply lying on the ballots now.
I'm fine with it in this context, it's far superior to the way it's usually deployed. I think that sound control should be client side anyway, but this is pretty un-disruptive compared to things like news sites etc. that start streaming immediately.

Admittedly I was amused by the spam sound effect.

Great question. We typically fund treatments that are likely to be curative, so we haven't dealt with this yet. But in the event that a patient's condition isn't fully resolved through treatment, we'd let the donors know, and if the Medical Partner felt it was appropriate to re-submit the patient to Watsi for funding of follow-up care, we certainly wouldn't be against it.
I don't think your Facebook data is right. You're using the "total" count, which includes likes and comments, rather than just shares. While this does measure engagement, it isn't a measure of shares, which is what the data is marketed as. For example, you show 28k likes for the #1 story, but Facebook's data[1] says this:

share_count: 7023
like_count: 14341
comment_count: 7328
total_count: 28692

Perhaps only if you are a citizen and residing in the country that classfied them. Pretty sure it wouldn't be an offence to read documents classified by Zimbabwe in the USA, or vice versa.
I consider myself to be pretty introverted, but I find that, in purely social situations, I can get along rather well with extroverts so long they respect my quietness. When someone intelligent and funny likes to be in the spotlight, I'm usually happy to let them.

It's when people expect the conversation to be equal (we each take turns asking and answering the same boring questions about "so what do you do?" and that sort of thing) that I get exhausted.

(Actually, though... I guess either way it depends largely on the "intelligent and funny" aspect. Boring people are boring people...)

At work? Please don't interrupt me... I'm working. (or... heh, posting to HN, as the case may be... :-)
Makes sense. If you have contractually agreed to preserve state secrets then just avoid this stuff.
The real trick would be to convince them to log into your server using ssh -A and then pwn their github accounts. :)
Where Do You See Yourself in 10 Years Time?
Try google. Seriously this has been news for more than 12 months.
It's funny you mention this when a lot of these cables show how the US government was pressuring the Spanish government to join NATO and more recently to legislate in favor of the American media lobby. Obviously it's both parties fault, but I don't particularly like when my country and the people who are supposed to be my representatives are constantly subject to American wishes.
They are definitely polite, but their requests and intentions are as selfish as it can be.
they failed to acknowledge the upside

Looking at it, it's Tesla that failed to emphasise these benefits properly.

For a firm that is supposed to be innovative and disrupting the industry, this "deal" looks like standard car salesman fud. The only innovative thing is the buy back scheme, which is a little lost beneath the $500 stuff.

They'd be better off saying; look, the Tesla S will cost you ~£1,000 per month, but based on what you've entered the best alternative you could have would be $600/mo car, with $400/mo fuel cost (maybe pick some example cars in that price range to compare against directly). And emphasise the ability for you to get a premium car for your money.

In fact; this true cost of ownership thing could have worked if they hadn't stamped a big $500 on the front of it.

I understand why they have done it this way - fuel costs aren't a fixed cost for most people (by which I mean, you probably couldn't recall offhand exactly what you pay per month, or when you pay it) and so is a cost which people don't appreciate as much as their credit lines. But, still.
WikiLeaks Launches "WikiLeaks Public Library of US Diplomacy (PlusD)"
It's amazing as to how ubiquitous email has gotten in the recent years in spite of being a relatively older technology. It was only a few years ago that you needed to afford the luxury of a blackberry to email on the go.

And now we have very affordable phones zapping out emails over reliable cellular data connections, hundreds of small apps and companies curating and shooting out content-rich emails that can be viewed in your palm, and browser based email clients on desktops evolving to have features comparable to installable thick clients. I wonder what else is in store for the trusty email.
BS: wireless will be fixed when operators will accept to be dumb pipes, with flat prices, and without almost mandatory bandwidth+device bundles. That's exactly what they don't want, and doesn't seem to be what T-Mobile offers.

In France, free.fr wreaked the whole market by offering illimited phone calls + SMS + data (bandwidth capped beyond 3GB/month) for €16 to €20, depending on whether you already get ADSL from them. No device (rather, unlocked devices can be bought with a 12 or 24 months credit, in a contract independent from the network subscription), network subscriptions can be cancelled in 1 month. Simple, cheap, readable. All other operators had to follow suit.
Yes, grate is similar to my effort for Vivante GPUs https://github.com/laanwj/etna_viv . I'm not sure how they confused this with official NVidia drivers, as it's built by a third party. NVidia open sourcing drivers would be huge news indeed.

What does the message they see say? Presumably invalid cert before you get to being able to say anything. Its OK if you just have part of site HTTPS but difficult if it all is?
What are the ASIC producers doing with all their bitcoins?
> Tell a people who can only afford a $600/mo payment that the TCO is under that, and it might get them to come into the dealership, but the real monthly cost will come out before the car could be sold.

Once you have them through the door you have the chance to pitch them the concept, which in sales is a big thing. And the whole point of a salesman's job is to close the deal.

(I don't disagree, just pointing out why they are doing a bait and switch)
The problem is that the meaning of the word "terrorism" is stretched over too far a scope, from things that a gang might do to full-blown acts of war like 9/11.
Changing the prefix still doesn't mean that each app is sandboxed. That is what the parent comment was talking about.

Just like Wikipedia has notability guidelines, there's no reason patents should not.

Problem is, the legislation to cover vague and broad patents may very well end up being vague and broad itself, unfortunately.
However awesome bitcoins are, I wonder how much longer till wallets can be securely stored online, and the technology is simplified to an extent that my barely computer-literate mother can understand bitcoins.
you could say that most libraries run on python 3, too. the point is checking for that particular library that you need in a single place.
I don't get how there is so much spending, but such crappy schools. There's a reasonable argument over how much should be spent on education (assuming returns are relatively proportional to spending), but CA seems to spend money for no return.
Quite a long time to go, but that's ok. How quick did such a mother adopt credit-cards?
Are you by chance using s += x to create strings? If so, stop. Anyway, my crystal ball is in service right now, you should really give us a chance to look at it.
Isn't that what "ssh-keygen -R" command is for? Though I agree that your solution is more generic.
Of course that is always a risk, but with most FOSS software being maintained in public revision control systems, it's difficult to truly hide something.

Even if you discard the security angle of wget | bash (which you would be a foolish choice) there is the simple problem of repeatability.

If you are deploying 50 new servers and OpsCode releases a new version of Chef after 25 of the servers have performed the wget, the next 25 will get a different client that might be incompatible with the server.
Asses who run companies like Lodsys who survive upon the blood of hard working developers sucking them like a leech should be humiliated in public and sent to prison for the rest of their lives.

That's because you got a 10x dog, however. You should only bring on Alpha dogs with lots of Xs, or you might kill your company.
The “no compassion” gambit
I'd far rather move (even just within the US) than resort to violence. WA, TX, NV, etc. all seem comparatively well governed. The natural environment in CA is a plus, and it still has the best overall nexus of capital, startups, and people, but that advantage is rapidly declining vs. other states.
Seems to tackle the Pareto principle:

And even if we get a Unified Patent Court, it will necessarily help. Perhaps the one good thing about EU patent law is that it is hard to enforce :/
How can they know if you do tethering without deep packet inspection? I think that's actually illegal by law in the Netherlands (net neutrality law), but not sure about that. It's very much frowned upon though.
It looks like they are trying to level-up to Gmail's reputation.

The thing is that at the moment @yahoo.com is the best source of anonymous disposable email addresses. I'm sure they realize that and I suspect they will be taking steps to "rectify" this situation by trying to tie an address to an identity. It'd be interesting to see how that unfolds. Shouldn't be long now.

It is 'okay' to put up anything at all, of course.

But I too am wondering what on earth this is and why anyone would take it seriously.
In this case it is a free lunch. SMS was specifically designed to make use of an unused portion of communication between handset and tower. Thus, the limit of 1,120 bits (140 8-bit chars, or the now standard 160 7-bit chars). No extra time slots are needed to accomodate SMS, because it's bandwidth usage is dramatically lower than that of voice data.

As you said, it's still data. If one has a plan that includes unlimited internet data, where is the justification to charge even more for SMS?

But none of that really matters, because it's not the cost of the product that determines pricing. It's the delivered value that determines pricing.
Yup. I've not taught perl for a while - but that pretty much matches my experiences. The N ways of doing "good" OO was the biggest problem I encountered and Moose solves that.
What a thread! And its closed. The discussion of old phone is fascinating - I can't get my wife to bin her Nokia 3310 - it's rock solid reliable. It's been to hell and back over 10ish years and still holds a charge for a week or so. Some things have got a lot worse in the cell phone world.
Sometimes lower price points draw negative reviews and higher price points draw positive reviews simply because the price itself sends a signal about quality. Higher price points may also result in more profit -- by reducing the costs associated with support (and the entitlement that a $0.99 app comes with). Have you thought about $4.99?
> The sad part of this price comparison quagmire is that Tesla doesn’t need to do it. Its Model S is, flatly stated, very cool.

Totally agreed. I'm really disappointing that this BS is coming from what (up to this point) many of us have perceived as a trustworthy company. We all know Teslas are expensive but that they'll get more affordable with future models. There's no reason to pull this kind of stunt. Elon, you're better than this.
I doubt that connection speed was ever a factor since client-side performance started to get more attention. There is some of that when talking about mobile, but even then the lattency is much bigger problem there.
My problem with HTTPS is Google: They push it on every front, but - for various reasons - consider HTTPS and HTTP different pages, meaning you do not get link juice from any HTTP links if you're site is HTTPS only.

(1. don't listen to people telling you otherwise, it's an expensive experiment 2. redirects do not transfer all the juice, they count as links themselves, from my experience it's like not having external links to your site at all 3. If you do not depend on Google b/c you're SaaS, go for HTTPS only)
Interesting to know. My i5/8GB RAM X1 also has the 1600x900 display. Perhaps as you say there's newer internals. But cool!
Why Bitcoin scares banks and governments
in ES5:

Array.isArray(['one', 'two']) === true

Until then, you can use a polyfill such as ES5-Shim[1], another library such as Underscore.js[2] or even something simple like this:

if(!Array.isArray) {
Array.isArray = function (vArg) {
return Object.prototype.toString.call(vArg) === "[object Array]";
};
}

Linus says Nvidia: Fuck you at 49:00
Sounds like an interesting initiative (if serious), but I can confirm this has nothing to do with the Bitcoin project or foundation. They may use bitcoin, but that's all.
To be fair, some of this is driven by real needs. People want fast boots, so you have to work tightly in parallel. That requires a clear and complex dependency graph. That requires significantly more than some symlinks in /etc/rc?.d/.
Also as distros aim to pare down their default installs, you end up in a situation where there is very little that you actually can disable without breaking your ability to boot.

Furthermore, given typical CPU/RAM overheads on modern hardware, disabling something that takes a fraction of a second to start and consumes almost no RAM can seem slightly pointless!

I'm not familiar with systemd, but upstart takes a similar approach to sysvinit - don't want something to start? Just move it out of /etc/init/ like you would have rm'd the symlink in /etc/rc?.d/ :)
The only requirement of the Bitcoin Grant is that the project must be open source in nature, this is not limited to only software. There is no application to fill out, simply continue to do great work and we will reach out to you.

That's all you need to know. Which is nothing. All of this is, at least at this point, nothing at all.
‘Commerce related’? That’s a very nice way of putting it. I’d say it’s all spam.

From the pile of keywords Yahoo considers ‘good’: free, rates, coupon, vacation, deals, save, today, lingerie, wants, shipping, alert, extra, daily, favorite, sale.
Well, in case of CGNAT is run (naturally) by the ISP, and network connection from that point is bridged. So yes, I think UPnP will reach their system. If they just want to honor it. Maybe with very restricted port number ranges / portscustomer IP or so. If they have smart mapping system, they can map customers even to multiple IP's so that everyone really needing to open specified port can actually do, because I'm sure they'll NAT to range of public IPs.

I went through the same process. Fravia and the +HCU fostered my curiosity and made me want to know more and more about the inner workings of software. Not only that, Fravia was a man of learning, essays on the +HCU/SearchLores.org were often a philosophical pretext to discuss subjects beyond reverse engineering.
I miss the man and I regret not having been able to meet him in person.
Almost none in business apps. There's some calc and geometry in graphics. Unless the business demands it, the software isn't going to need math. Yagni. If the business can run on a pocket calculator, every last pc will disappear in pursuit of the dollar. The same goes with math.

> I will probably be proved wrong as systemd matures, but right now it's just not the case.

Yeah . . . I doubt it. I made the switch to FreeBSD as my primary OS of choice back in 2005 or 2006 without being 100% certain why I decided to try to live on BSD Unix pretty much full-time right then (there were reasons, but I think the timing of the migration was largely whim). I never even missed the Linux world for the next half decade or so. I then tried living with Debian again for a while (long story why), and I discovered that everything of substance that had gone on in the Linux world since then seemed almost tailor-made to annoy the shit out of me. It was a real shock that destroyed the fondness I still harbored for Debian.

I poked around at some other Linux distributions I hadn't tried, or handn't used in years, and discovered they were even worse -- and systemd is sorta the apotheosis (no relation) of exactly the sort of nondeterministic, "the software knows better than the user" BS that I remembered with severe loathing from my distant past primarily using (and fixing, for a living) MS Windows. Between Red Hat developers like Drepper and Poettering, the agenda of Canonical and Ubuntu, and the GNU project's strange synthesis of superficially opposed concepts like stagnation and invidious undermining of anything related to the (so-called) Unix philosophy of system design, I ultimately came to the conclusion that outside of a professional capacity (that is, writing code and/or managing servers, and that only if I'm paid) I'm simply not interested in screwing around with Linux-based systems any longer.

Your tolerance may be higher than mine but, given your comment about what you dislike about systemd, I rather suspect you'll only grow more frustrated with the direction of Linux development community efforts over time. You might want to think about diversifying your OS experience in the near future (if you haven't already) so you have a place to ready and waiting for you to go when the Linux world has finally pushed you to the point of just wanting to escape.
That's also my story. I spent countless hours reverse engineering software but stopped after going Linux-only. In fact I realized that reverse engineering was the only reason I'd been using Windows for a very long time.

I also remember many wonderful tools like PEiD (locating and identifying hash functions), hiew (hexeditor), RSATool (RSA cracking tool), FSG (file compressor). There was also OllyDbg and it seems that it's still actively developed.

Ah, memories.
HTTPS will not prevent this: the ISP can issue their own CA to their users and then decrypt/encrypt https as it passes through them. (Many corporations already do this). What will prevent this is legislation and/or competition.

It amazes me that US Internet access has very little of either. All the drawbacks of monopoly Internet, with all the drawbacks of unregulated Internet.
Neither is Africa or South America.
so cOLD... also, I don't get it, I have no problems with my Nvidia on Linux, just with my AMD cards...
It is interesting idea. But course is expensive.

I hope they will realease course in online form (similar like coursera) and offer it for reasonable price (max 100usd per person).

There are plenty people outside of USA willing to take lessons on this kind of a course.
No my beef is with my web browsers for allowing obnoxious things to happen. They take stands on things like blocking popups, why not clipboard interference and context menu blocking?
But the HN moral compass tends to be so strong! I have no aversion to running against the grain (and am perversely attracted to it), but like to know the lay of the land before I make a choice on something. I like that the no show policy on points prevents some of my previous behaviour (like staring at a comment which had lots of points, trying hard to work out what the hell was wrong with the voters).
Yahoo keeps 80% of all emails from being sent, because they suspect it’s spam. That doesn’t mean the remaining 20% isn’t spam.
Yeah . . . it looks like Arch has gotten to the point where it just kinda violates all the points of the so-called Arch Way wholesale, even worse than the mainstream (supposedly) Unix-like OSes tend to violate the so-called Unix Philosophy these days.
Introvert and Extrovert are just two ends of a spectrum, most people are balanced in between these two ends.
