It might be why it sucks, but if vigilante justice, or in this case looking at photos and pointing out who had backpacks resulted in the capture of the true bomber more quickly, than the unfortunate consequences for the people temporarily named by a subreddit who's existence would be hard to locate without media attention is just not significant enough to outweigh the possibility of them figuring it out before they got on a flight etc.

If we have a terrorist group claiming responsibility and showing new photos with the terrorists in another country in the next 24-48 hours, the FBI failed. It doesn't matter if we eventually drone strike them, they failed and should look in to crowd sourcing the photo investigation in the future.

The fact that highly irresponsible news agencies printed those photos is completely separate from reddit and 4Chan talking about it.

Ideally there should be an FBI sanctioned system which allows this type of work.

For those that point out the man the FBI accused in Atlanta, keep in mind, that was way, way, way more drawn out than a 24 hour period.

Now, I'll also admit, I could be wrong, maybe they don't find them, maybe they don't post photos of who they think it is and these guys aren't cleared by the FBI, maybe it turns out that they are harassed etc.

The internet is new, and I feel like we can figure out a way to do this the right way.
Haha, I wanted to post that link too ;)

They aren't really the mob - they are the actual pros who do this all the time. Presumably they aren't going to go and lynch someone because a random tipster emailed them a blurry photo.

Sorry, you're right, I clicked the older version, my bad. The current version is: [1]

‘(A) IN GENERAL.—The term ‘cyber threat information’ means information directly pertaining to— ‘‘(i) a vulnerability of a system or network of a government or private entity; `‘(ii) a threat to the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of a system or network of a government or private entity or any information stored on, processed on, or transiting such a system or network; ‘‘(iii) efforts to deny access to or degrade, disrupt, or destroy a system or network of a government or private entity; or ‘‘(iv) efforts to gain unauthorized access to a system or network of a government or private entity, including to gain such unauthorized access for the purpose of exfiltrating information stored on, processed on, or transiting a system or network of a government or private entity.

So the actual meaning hasn't changed much. Because this only clarifies the threats/vulnerabilities/evil efforts and not the information about such threats/vulnerabilities/evil efforts that can be shared, my point applies equally well to this wording. This version of the bill also still has no mention of "operational" or "network information".

[1] http://intelligence.house.gov/sites/intelligence.house.gov/f...

Just to make sure, is that the version you're reading too, or do I still have the wrong one?
This is always great advice and lets you (and the client) focus on the business needs, while keeping them from having to be interested/concerned with the technology powering the solution.
Hmm, is there a critique of the feminist movement in there? I didn't really see one. There might be one of Title IX specifically.

I think it more likely that she is merely attempting to qualify herself against feminist extremists that would not tolerate any critique of Title IX.
I know that body language and customs are different, but I wanted to point out that in some Asian cultures, arm-crossing is done as a sign of respect, especially towards elders. It's a source of confusion and amusement for older people when the Western-integrated young people get angry.

That said, one should keep an eye out for more than just nonverbal cues, as telling as they may be.
The OP is way overestimating the importance of body measurements and is targeting the wrong demographic.

1. What looks flattering varies drastically from one woman to the next, and the determining factor of what looks good on you isn't body measurements. It's body shape. Designers tend to target a specific body type, and women who shop for designer clothing need to identify which type they are. This is where style is hard, and where women could use help.

2. Body measurements help determine type, but it's not that straight forward. Petite women with have smaller differences in measurements to indicate type. Shape of certain body features (especially bust) isn't fully indicated by measurements.

3. Type is important not for fit but to determine what styles you should wear. If a user's measurements indicate narrow shoulders, you should not be displaying halter tops, even if the bust, waist and hips sizes are correct.

4. Women with enough money to buy designer clothes and care about fit also have enough money to pay a tailor. They are much more concerned about style and quality, and will pay someone else to make it fit them.

Mr. Borden, if you're still interested in the idea I have a few suggestions for your next iteration. Target women with enough money for nice clothes, but don't know how to shop for them.

Use either body measurements or some sort of questionnaire to determine a few important body characteristics- type, bust-size, petite, plus, tall, broad shoulders, ect- you could even ask what part of their body they like most/don't like. Market your platform to women as a way to discover their own personal style, to feel more confident in the body they have (self-image is a huge source of shame for many women). Hire some personal shoppers to help write blog posts on style, body type, confidence.

Then display clothing based on what would look good on that woman. Not size, style. So if she has a large bust, don't display turtlenecks. This is where you provide value.

You could take this a lot further- a user clicks on a top, show pictures of skirts or belts or shoes that would go with it, or even generate outfits that will flatter her.

Search is another way to provide value here. It would be awesome to say, I want to look at dresses with this or that neckline, or shirts that match this color.
jere's was a rhetorical question. It took me a second to get it but I got it on first reading. One clue was the lack of a question mark.

Democrats don't campaign in support of "big government." That's something that they are characterized as being for by the people that oppose them.

That's like a Democrat saying that Republicans like "letting the poor die" except when it comes to veterans, children, and those wounded by terrorist attacks. What hypocrites!
For most small colleges (as this "liberal arts college in New England" almost certainly was), there is an agreement between the college and the local police department (if one exists) that the college will handle just about everything internally, and push things off to the local or state PD as necessary.

My college fits the description of the one in the OA. They had a small, self-important security department of a half dozen part time and one or two full time unarmed guards. Anything that happened on campus, they'd handle. That in and of itself is not mandated by the government, but it's a fairly common occurrence.
if i may channel someone i read on HN yesterday: "at what point does the 'crowd' become the 'mob'?" definitively, it seems like a "mob" of people seeking "justice".

it doesn't matter what you call it or what the intent was; you cannot argue that this kid is clearly shaken up and it's affected his family deeply.
FFS, ABC:

"Barhoun's younger brother, who declined to be identified..."

Seriously? First of all, the kid is under 18, so you shouldn't be identifying him anyway without his parents' permission, but second, you just identified him.
Not really mob justice - more like "mob junior Secret Service wannabe activities". The hive mind suggested something, the guy went to the cops and said "uh, uh, not me".

The system worked, at the cost of some inconvenience. Sometimes the police release the photo of a "person of interest" themselves, and that person does much the same thing.

Not ironically, the NY Post is just as bad as the Daily Mail.

On the day of the bombing, they were reporting that the bomber had already been arrested. The day after the bombing, they had a picture on their cover of a backpack that was supposedly the bomb... except it wasn't. Today, they had a picture of two middle eastern looking people, who had nothing to do with the bombing. This is par the course for the NY Post.

My favorite though, is when I used to do political work, the NY Post would show up to large events, set up a quick photoshoot with paid actors, then leave, and whatever they staged a picture of would be the next day's front page.

Fuck the post.
Yup!

Correct me if I am wrong, but this is effectively how Valve organizes itself right? :)
My guess is she's equating support of Title IX specifically as analogous to support of feminism generally. Not sure I agree with her on that point.

I think you're right. If anything she states she's a feminist just to clarify that she's not a far-right political hack.
Could I Trust an Accountant Who Once Stole $1.2M?
There is a lot of hate here for the "vigilantes" who singled him out. In no way do I approve of the subreddit devoted to finding these people, but I think many of the comments here blow what happened out of proportion.

No one arrested him, fired him, threatened him, or tried to hurt him. Even to a kid, I can't imagine this impacting your life too much. If he were traumatized, he'd not be allowing everyone to use his name.

Again, I don't approve of this kind of speculation, but they always labeled their work as speculation and discouraged people from acting on it. I think we might just be over-reacting.
Some solutions to foreign-land isolation that have worked for me:

* living in multi-bedroom apartments with other expats/remote workers

* working in co-working spaces (inherently with other freelancers/small biz owners--locals and non-locals)

In both cases, you'll see the same people often, can identify well with them, and develop camaraderie.

> If that were true, then electricity should be astonishingly expensive because we use astonishingly more of it than we did 60 years ago, yet the last time I looked, inflation adjusted prices for electricity were remarkably flat.

So, the price of computers has gone down even with skyrocketing computer use. But nobody would say that the benefits of computers are a positive externality that isn't priced into their price.

> What economic theory is that?

Bog-standard neo-classical economics. See: http://www.libertarianism.org/media/around-web/negative-exte....

> Advances are in no way inevitable. Advances are in no way unhindered by prices of resources.

There is a "right price" for resources. If the actual price for the resources is too high, that will retard development. If the actual price for that resources is too low, development will happen in a way that uses an inefficiently high amount of the cheap resource. The market will generally arrive at the "right price" for resources, except in the presence of externalities.

> From that tradeoff, we have reaped extraordinary benefits. Why are those benefits so hard to recognize in this discussion?

It's not a matter of recognizing those benefits, it's a matter of not double-counting those benefits.
"Meanwhile, RSA and simple prime-field DL crypto are the subject of serious progress, while whole avenues of attacks seem to be precluded for the ECDL problem."

When last I checked, the 20-year-old GNFS algorithm was the most efficient way to attack RSA. Yes, this is faster than the best known attacks on ECDLP, but ECDLP attacks are still subexponential. Nothing has changed in the past ten years about the complexity class of ECDLP (it is still both in NP and in coNP).

Really, the future of cryptography is not elliptic curves, it is systems based on lattices, hidden linear codes, and hard learning problems (these are all related). You can do some interesting things with ECC, but there are far more interesting lattice cryptosystems being developed by researchers.

"ECC is increasingly common in commercial systems. Who's asserting patents against those systems?"

Certicom filed this famous lawsuit:

http://www.certicom.com/index.php/2007-press-releases/20-cer...

Really though, Dan Bernstein is not a lawyer, and I would not trust his analysis if I had a business to run. Even if he is right, that does not change the fact that ECC deployment is lagging because of fears about patent suits. The NSA's response to concerns about patents was to get a special license, specifically for government uses of ECC; they did nothing at all to encourage ECC deployment elsewhere, and they did not demonstrate that such deployment was a priority.

In this case, same thing.

And you really have no idea why this process might have caused Salah Barhoun to experience genuine fear for his safety and the safety of his family? Not to mention all the anxiety any normal, thinking person experiences when having to deal unexpectedly with both the national media and the police?

Fair point. My statement was based on the typical experience I have where my republican friends see me (a libertarian) as the pro-marijuana, anti-war, pro-gay-marriage guy, and my democrat friends see me as the anti-tax, anti-welfare guy. They tend to (quite naturally) see the philosophical differences between themselves and equate me with their primary opposition.
Not to mention that official law enforcement has governance in place to at least try to make sure they don't go and lynch someone on a hunch. It might not be perfect, but it's better than the alternatives.

I'm not sure if it's useful to use loaded language (that's most often used to describe people anonymously making death threats) when describing people collaborating via the Internet to investigate something. "Mob" isn't usually used to describe a well-behaved crowd.

It's not a non sequitur. Feminism is a giant umbrella. Currently, in the first world, the loudest, most influential men and women under that particular umbrella are decidedly hateful, divisive, and deliberately antagonistic toward men.

When it comes to even daring to open a discussion about false rape/paternity accusations, the current mantra is:

If you hate and distrust feeeeeeemales soooooo much, please don't associate with them, have sex with them, or marry them. Thx! But you're probably alone in your parents' basement, like all MRAs.
> If you knew back when you first installed the game that you'd end up spending so much money on it again, do you think you'd still go ahead and install it?

No. I expected to spend about $20. I'd have bought a drill-press or cheap logic analyzer instead.

I guess I am proof. And so is 'jaredsohn (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5562975 -- "Closer up view of person in OP (includes shot of face): http://i.imgur.com/BBxplgk.jpg " -- it was his interpretation from Reddit comments that Salah was one possible suspect).

There's a lot of truth to 'untog's comment up above that no matter the nuance and diligence being practiced, Reddit is still an open and public forum and no amount of nuance is worth anything when stuff leaks out of Reddit.
ExtJs' documentation is amazing. I agree that the chart doesn't make that much sense compared to AngularJS or Backbone, but it is not about documentation.

This is why I wouldn't want to build a product where I'm not the target audience. You don't see me doing women's fashion startups, or tampon subscription as a service, or child/teen games, or whatever.

It's a problem because ~no 3 year old is an iOS developer, and most developers are 15-40 year old men, so it's less likely you'll find good products for 3 year olds vs. developer tools, but it does avoid this particular problem.

Yes you can! Consider Manhattan: young people cannot today afford the same kind of house in the city that their parents could afford doing the exact same job at the same age. Their standard of living is lower (either living in the city and living in a much smaller place, or commuting in from outside the city) than their parents, in the area of housing, simply by virtue of the fact that their parents go there first.

Imagine extrapolating the injustices of the NYC housing market to the whole economy...
Very interesting. Clojure seems to be extremely popular.
You hit the nail on the head. It's getting very annoying to read posts by people who get up on their high horse and proclaim "this is terrible design and I'm shaming companies who do this"... except that's not the case. It's just a mildly annoying thing for them but as far as the sites are concerned this is great design. Rather than go around saying "I proclaim this wrong" we should start saying "I don't like this" because in the end that's really what most people are saying and they come off like dicks when it turns out there's a pretty good reason for the "wrong" thing to be such.
Yes, although you've left out the "Exclusion" for terms of use and license contracts.

I do not think your point stands with this definition. You're right that I used a shorthand rather than copying that exact language from the bill into yet another comment, as a cursory Google search will tell you that I've done repeatedly. There was no way the bill was going to use the term "operational network security data", because that term is even more vague than the bill's definition.

A more productive thing for you debate other than semantics would be how this specific definition --- which is far more complete than anything else in the US Code, unless you'd like to correct me on that --- should be tightened.
Yeah, it is a shame that Rand Paul still is in bed with the Religious / Conservative right. You nailed it.
Open Networking Summit: Reinventing Networking for the IoT
> it would have to run at greater than real time, no?

Not for the people in the simulation : ) We'd just be self-conscious byte code. Which actually is the question Iain Banks brings up. They want to run simulations on how a society will respond to a political action, but that would imply creating self-conscious byte-code in the simulation. And wouldn't that be genocide when they turn off the sim? So maybe the only ethical thing is to never turn off the sim...
So this would work by the host wanting to be nice to the police; a dating site doesn't want child rapists, so they ban Tor exit nodes. That makes sense. What I found amusing, though, is that they want sites that accept leaks from government agencies to do the same thing. If you're a site that collects leaked information, the last thing you're going to do is block Tor. So I found that example amusing.

From the email I received today from "Sony Entertainment Network":

[...]

The Sony Entities deny any claims of wrongdoing in this case, and the settlement does not mean that the Sony Entities violated any laws or did anything wrong.

WHO'S INCLUDED?

The Class includes everyone who resides in Canada who had a PSN account, a Qriocity account, or an SOE account at any time prior to May 15, 2011.

WHAT DOES THE SETTLEMENT PROVIDE?

There are various benefits, depending in part on what type of account(s) you had:

Inactive PlayStation Network Accountholders:

If you used any of your PSN accounts any time from January 1, 2011 through May 14, 2011, but you did not use them after that through January 24, 2013 because of the Intrusions, you can get a payment equal to any balance of paid virtual currency in your account wallet if that balance is at least U.S. $2.

Active PlayStation Network Accountholders:

a) If you paid other companies for certain media services that you could not access through the PSN during the PSN outage from April 20 through May 14, 2011, you can get 3 free PS3 themes or a 50% discount on PlayStation Plus for 3 months. Up to U.S. $100,000 in total benefits will be available, on a first-come, first-served basis.

b) If you participated in the PSN "Welcome Back" program that followed the April 2011 service outage, you can get either a free game for your PS3 or PSP, 3 free PS3 themes, or a 50% discount on PlayStation Plus for 3 months. If you did not participate in the PSN "Welcome Back" program, you can submit a claim for two of the above benefits. Up to U.S. $1 million in these benefits will be available, on a first-come, first-served basis; claimants who file claims thereafter can get a 50% discount on PlayStation Plus for one month.

[...]
