You'd have to have someone white-listing that proxy. And I don't see that happening.
> Perhaps you really believe this definition of science. I've never encountered it before, nor do I know anyone that would use this definition.

Do you mean the idea that science must craft and then test theories? That's not at all controversial, and every legitimate science is defined by its theories. Without the Standard Model, physics isn't science. Without the theories of evolution, genetics and cell biology, biology is not science. Without theories about geological processes and plate tectonics, geology is not science.

How could we determine whether a field is or is not a science unless the determination was based on its tested, defining theories? We know astrology is not a science because its theories fail when tested. Are you saying that astrology would become a science by not having testable theories?

> When people operating on a different definition of science encounter your definition ...

Not only is this not my definition, it has been expressed in a number of legal decisions that, for example, keep Creationism out of public school classrooms. The reason? Creationism's theories fail when tested.

>> In fact, science is ten studies making one claim.

> If it is a fact, can you provide a source for this definition?

My source is the practice of science. Einstein's relativity theory, as pretty as it was on paper, was not accepted until the corpus of evidence for it was overwhelming, in dozens of confirmations (this required experimental work until the mid-1960s). Plate tectonics was not accepted until the field evidence became overwhelming. Examples abound. All on need do is read some science history to discover that one publication means nothing.

> These are the things that one will naturally wonder about in the context of contempt, even if the contempt is accidental.

Science doesn't care about contempt, it cares about evidence. Contempt is completely irrelevant to the process, and every scientist knows this.

Google wants people to trust the nuts of bolts of their lives to their servers, yet they cut off access to everything the moment they suspect that a user has transgressed. I can't be the only one that doesn't think this is reasonable.

At the very least, you should still have access to the Google data export for your account, even if the account has been cancelled for some reason.
I think most facts point to two very confused and deluded youngsters, it's a joke even calling them "terrorists" or "Jihadists".

You'd also want to limit it to the most vetted and monitored articles to prevent someone from the outside from leaving coded messages in articles. I figure the more popular articles could spot strange updates and eliminate them.

There's also nothing urgent about the access they get. Articles could be restricted to 1 or 2 years old to further prevent the transfer of timely information.

One of the nice things about a site like this is being exposed to domains that one is not familiar with. I for one know beans about physics simulations like this, so it is interesting.

I suppose this is true, though the same could have been said for flash before Javascript's recent strides, and I don't recall anyone being particularly excited about similar demos implemented in actionscript.
Yeah.. timezones and date-time logic are no fun at all. And the less well the environment supports such things, the less fun it gets.

I don't know why Google is shutting down the caldav support.. guessing that imap for gmail will be on the chopping block soon.
Sure, because the first thing that jihadists do after setting up a bomb is go to a campus party.
This and your other comment make me really sad. For everything that is posted here on Hacker News, there will be many people who are familiar with it, who have domain knowledge. In a child comment you refer to this as "a game physics 'Hello World'."

People who aren't familiar with this sort of thing find it really cool, hence the impressive number of upvotes. These online demos are accessible in the way some exe just isn't.

So condescending, dismissive, and of course the top voted comment :/

That's a clever ploy to get some eyeballs out of a legal case that isn't worth the paper it is printed on.

But if some company is hell bent on suing you for linking to them and you want to get mileage out of it by going to the media with the story you're going to have to weigh your options carefully. Just remove the link, problem goes away no need for legal representation and you get on with your life.

Or you milk it for all it is worth, eventually go to court and you're vindicated in your laymans interpretation of the law. Or you find that the court - for whatever reason - sides with your opponent. Now you have a problem, and don't say it can not happen, there is no such thing as a slam-dunk lawsuit.

Pick your battles, carefully and make sure that you make the right choice.

In this particular case I think the plaintiff is dead wrong, they don't have a leg to stand on but it could still cost you a lot of time, money and effort to prove that and in the end it is their loss not yours if they lose their link.

English law student here. This isn't legal advice.

Generally, in common law countries, if you're not paying Google for the services, the legal system won't help you. Since you gave no consideration for the services you got, there's no legal contract, so you can't even enforce their own terms of service against them.

(In theory, an action in tort for negligent provision of services can succeed against a provider you didn't pay - but in practice, that'd fail for a number of reasons in this situation (in England anyway)).

As soon as you're paying for services, the whole thing changes. You've suddenly got the contract law at your back, and with that comes whatever laws govern unfair terms in consumer contracts, and the supply of services to consumers, in your jurisdiction. You're in a vastly better position, legally.

>> Science requires testable explanations.

> No it doesn't.

Name a legitimate science that is not defined by its testable explanations. Physics has the Standard Model. Biology has evolution, genetics and cell biology, all well-tested theories.

We know astrology is not a science because its theories fail when tested. Is your argument that astrology would become a science by not having testable theories?

Without testing, without evidence, a scientific idea has no standing. It's not science until there is empirical evidence in support of an idea (or that falsifies the idea). Without empirical confirmation or falsification, it's philosophy, not science.

> Normally, this just means describing the outcomes of a repeatable scenario

Every time I go outside at night, there are these little points of light in the sky. I don't know what they are, but they're the same every time I look. So ... I just became a scientist. Yes?

Contrast that description with a proposed, testable explanation -- that those points of light are thermonuclear furnaces like our sun but at a greater distance. We can test this idea, possibly falsify it. Falsifiability is a requirement for science, but one cannot falsify a description -- for that, we need a proposed explanation.

> ... there's always a point at which science can only probabilistically describe what happens, it can't explain why.

That's not science, it's philosophy. Science requires a collision between falsifiable explanations and empirical evidence.

He mentions that they have removed the link. Datadial are able to play both sides of the game here I think; they've removed the link to placate the lawyers, but are also pointing the threat out publicly either for the media attention or because they feel they should (both are valid). Of course, I've no idea about the potential legalities involved in such naming-and-shaming...

Its interesting. When the US + UK went into Iraq looking for WMD's I imagined they were after something more menacing than something a kid knocked up in his apartment.

If that is a WMD then what classification do we give the bombs that level buildings that have frequently been used in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan?

The most troubling thing I find about the prosecution is how they listed damaging interstate trade, presumably to keep the death sentence open. Massachusetts doesn't have the death penalty.

Perhaps the most troubling thing about the bombings is how two people apparently so disorganized successfully carried out a double bombing..
Obviously they did not care if the got caught or not, similar in a way to Anders Breivik.
This is so absurd that it is probably a scam. You should make sure that "Fox Williams LLP" was actually the sender of this note and that they represent Shopzilla (you should contact them).
Completely agree, that is what I was kind of trying to say. The evidence points to two very angry and confused young men and there may have been a slight influence of fundamental Islam. I wouldn't be surprised it this influence was self imposed through YouTube and such though.
I don't blame you.. I had to work on an access request system, and the SLA/Scheduling bits were nightmarish with huge swaths of hard to follow code... I finally got so frustrated I spent a 15 hour straight period pretty much ripping out the majority of said logic and had it all in UTC from front to back, and had any "local" conversions client-side... there was still a bunch of code in place to handle weekends, and holidays (which don't count against SLA), but this really wasn't timezone dependant so much.

Can't imagine what a pain a full on calendar project would be.. I looked at CalDAV at one point, because I wanted something that ran outside of Apple's OS early on, but pretty much dropped the idea less than a week into it.

Same thing occured to me as well.
I did find a report once that made a very strong case that it's not young drivers that are the problem - it's inexperienced drivers. The correlation between youth and inexperience is of course very strong, hence the (alleged) misconception. Sadly I didn't make a note of it and can't find it now.

That said, as a general rule of thumb, teenagers do suffer from various other pressures that might make them bad drivers too (although I certainly have seen people in their thirties goaded into driving badly by other people in the car).

Think of it as enforced documentation.

If I say that my object is a Customer then I know what can be done with it. If I have a method that says it takes a Customer object then the calling point knows what to pass in, and my method knows it can rely on that object satisfying certain conditions.

Basically it removes (some of) the need to document separately, and it enforces that the documentation is adhered to.
Woah, are you just saying you like the creepy CCTV everywhere for good?

Also, you could have copied the key any time you lived there. They won't store videos such a long time. Even if they get data that you copied some key, they still don't know which key. Machines used in a home depot or a mall are dumb, they do not work with key numbers and can't store them.
> Psychology is a scientific discipline

Thomas Insel, the sitting chair of the NIMH, disagrees with you. In his Scientific American article "Faulty Circuits" (http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=faulty-circ...), he says:

"In most areas of medicine, doctors have historically tried to glean something about the underlying cause of a patient’s illness before figuring out a treatment that addresses the source of the problem. When it came to mental or behavioral disorders in the past, however, no physical cause was detectable so the problem was long assumed by doctors to be solely “mental,” and psychological therapies followed suit.

Today scientific approaches based on modern biology, neuroscience and genomics are replacing nearly a century of purely psychological theories, yielding new approaches to the treatment of mental illnesses."

I draw your attention to the phrase "scientific approaches based on modern biology, neuroscience and genomics are replacing nearly a century of purely psychological theories ..."

Science requires empirically testable, falsifiable theories. Psychology doesn't have empirically testable, falsifiable theories. End of story.
I think its fairly clear that they had done very little planning and were completely unprepared for what would happen after the attacks. They even seemed to think they could just carry on with their lives and not get noticed. But I don't think that is a reason to discount an extremist religious motivation, although it may be only part of it.

They're hugely different.

Whether or not you actually will sue, if you paid for services you have the power to sue (on the contract for services). And Google knows that. That gives you leverage that puts you in a much better position to get someone at Google to pay attention to your account.

If you didn't pay for services, you can't sue. You didn't give any consideration, so there's no contract you can enforce against them. (That's for common law jurisdictions; don't know about elsewhere). They can more or less do what they like. And Google knows that, too.

Sure, the process in my mind is the same as when they are given a TV. There is some level of filtering on what information they can obtain and a time delay of when they obtain it.

Physical activity that makes you feel tired and/or relaxes your mind is very good before going to bed as your thoughts will not wander and you will doze off within minutes. I used to have this problem of going to sleep after switching off lights and going to bed. I started doing simple exercises like cleaning/arranging my room or relaxation yoga which would take my mind off thinking a lot before falling asleep. Also I started reading books (not e-books, which make you insomniac) for 15-20 minutes everyday before going to sleep. You can exercise just before going to bed. For a free stopwatch you can use your smartphone or alarm clock.

> Roads are built by taxes, which are paid by people. As long as everyone pays those taxes everyone is entitled to use them.

What if computer-controlled cars were 10X more efficient than human controlled cars? That means 10 times more traffic for the same amount of roads (or the same traffic on 1/10th of the roads). The economic case then becomes tremendous.

I pay taxes. I would like my taxes to be used more efficiently. I don't care for any idiot who wants the freedom to drive their own cars.

> The self-driving car has been solved for over decades.

This is not true at all. Its only recently where autonomous self driving cars in real environments have become viable.

> The real development is making them work in an environment with cars, people, bikes, pets, etc.

I'm sure they would be able to do that, but then we aren't getting the 10x improvement in traffic capacity if a few humans are still allowed to drive (i.e. the safety margins will have to remain human). The allure of self driving cars is not really "we don't have to drive anymore" but "we can utilize our infrastructure and resources way more efficiently."
