From my own tests with TOR:
The hidden services architecture of TOR (i.e. services which only exist within TOR) works more or less like the Internet, so to get to an onion page you have two options:

- You use the onion url of a page: You will probably not encounter anything you do not want to see (depending on the source of the link).

- You use one of the hidden service search engines. These are NOT provided by TOR but by TOR users, i.e. they are TORs Google/Yahoo (especially old time yahoo with long lists of pages instead of a search). Here the risk is significantly higher: Most of these link lists/search engines have a strict "no censoring" policy, so you will at least risk to get links to such things. I've never had this problem (and I am grateful for that) but the risk exists.
I think http://toma.hk/ is the closest to that right now. It would be great to link up with something like http://musicbrainz.org/
There's quite a bit of evidence for induced innovation from energy prices. As the cost of energy goes up, so does the rate of innovation in finding more economical ways to use it.

Of course, a corollary is the Jevons paradox: as energy efficiency goes up, demand for products that use energy also goes up when energy price is held steady. A popular example is the home refrigerator, which has gotten bigger at about the same rate that it has gotten more efficient.

One way around this is to ensure that energy prices continue to increase so that efficiency gains don't lead to increased overall energy consumption. That means some kind of green tax - preferably something designed to be revenue neutral via equivalent cuts to, say, income tax.
You are implying that this is a gun problem and not a sociological problem.
Carlos Slim, 8% of Mexico's GDP.

http://theweek.com/article/index/200797/7-things-to-know-abo...

""it's hard to spend a day in Mexico and not put money in [Slim's] pocket." You can barely make a call without doing so: Slim's phone company Telmex — snapped up on the cheap in 1990 — controls 80 percent of the landlines; its subsidiary América Móvil handles 70 percent of the cell service. "

"For Bill Gates to have the same grip on the U.S. economy, says Brian Winter in Foreign Policy, he would have to be worth "909 billion" and own "Alcoa, Phillip Morris, Sears, Best Buy, TGIFriday's, Dunkin' Donuts, Marriott, Citibank, and JetBlue.""
Wow, I didn't know about the down votes. Nice lesson.

I guess I could have formulated this differently. Attempt 2:

"Sure more powerful debugging tools is a great thing but the best ones are those you never use".
>Every service used by people can benefit from making their users happy to use it, and providing features that better enable the users' end goals. Regardless of how they generate revenue.

The point the parent tries to make is it's not "regardless" if the two objectives (making users happy - generate revenue) clash.

A non-magical introduction to pip and virtualenv for Python beginners
That's so real.
From the FAQ:

Which languages do you support?

Takipi works at the JVM level. This means we support all languages running on the Java Virtual Machine. These include - Java, Scala, Groovy, Clojure, etc.. Click here to learn more about viewing Scala code in Takipi.
We plan to support more software VMs such as CPython and Ruby MRI in the future.
Exactly, fishfish is fish's fork of fish. Though at some point a fork becomes the mainline by default, and I sort of feel that fishfish has already passed that point.

Missed the Hacker News on this one ..

I know I'm not heavily karma'd and so my opinion counts for less, but this isn't the sort of thing I'm expecting on HN. This belongs over in Reddit (where I promise I'll still see it .. probably reposted a dozen times)
I currently work with a few very popular B2C ecommerce platforms and none of them have made the move to this sort of thing yet, the best we've got is Spring MVC with AJAX.
Counterpoint: Fibre has literally just been made available in my area. I just had Plusnet (an ISP wholly-owned by BT which uses BT fibre) install fibre broadband, and it was done quickly and flawlessly. Arrived when they said they would and it took 5 minutes. Speeds decent too (50 Mbps down / 20 Mbps up, though I was told it might take a week to reach full speed).
Oh, great, I'll install now then. Thank you.
I appreciate yours and sgift's response. I will probably keep away to be honest. I always see stories where we only see 5% of the internet on the surface and I wondered what the other 95% could be.

I don't think I want to know to be honest, there's enough crap after page 2 on Google as it is
too right!!!
Fogcreek stated that Trello will not go away and i guess its a pretty safe bet as they are making their money (and plenty of it) elsewhere. Of course you can pay for it to feel better about it, but i dont think the success of Trello impacts Fogcreek a whole lot.
Thank god I'm not the only person that it guessed older.
If we're worried about a man-in-the-middle attack sniffing insecure credential on port 80. If the host closed port 80, couldn't the man in the middle just open it up again, you know, in the middle?

Maybe one recommendation should be supported vendor supplied SDKs which don't touch HTTP, only HTTPS. Another option is to detect credentials being sent over HTTP and notifying the clients, maybe deactivating their key if action isn't taken in a period of time.
Yep, i'm of the same opinion. Because of this i now think they're worth keeping, however i'd like to see all the Royal cling'ons booted, the cousins and third uncles etc etc.
Upvoted. Didn't they this year bring up the old canard about the ancient Greeks being colorblind?
Subtle effects when you scroll can be fun, but this is over the top and distracting.
As is the case with every other part of the internet - you should probably use noscript if you are concerned about being attacked. You will never be completely safe from exploits - you need to get comfortable with that. To your browser, it's exactly the same as the rest of the WWW.

Due to the bandwidth issues, most sites are not going to serve images unless they are a media site of some sort. If you don't want to see animal porn on the WWW, how on earth do you keep your virgin eyes safe? You don't seek it out.

Apple's Game Revealed in Apple v. Samsung Post-Trial Skirmishes
>While half of all internet users watching a 3 minute video for giggles is one thing, this stat seems to suggest that 50% of all people go the internet to rub one off and do it everyday.

I fear it's the latter. The numbers sure add up, if you ever see traffic stats from a large ISP.
I've found that leaving your login shell as bash but making fish the default executable for any terminal emulators you use will pretty much prevent any breakage.
What food is consumed and how electricity is generated can be changed though.

If for instance, you wanted to reduce the impact of cattle farming in South America, you could encourage people to eat alternative sources of meat and protein (substitutes) or tackle the problem by pouring more funding into research into synthetic beef[1].

For electricity generation, you could gradually ramp up taxes on the dirtiest sources of power generation, coupled with economic incentives for individuals and companies, which would guarantee lower monthly bills for those who switch, and guarantee a certain price for excess power that is generated to sweeten the deal. You could also introduce heavier taxes on inefficient home appliances, and subsidise LED bulbs (for example) to encourage adoption.

It's not that these problems are insurmountable, it's people's attitudes and entrenched interests.

(a thought experiment- if you could say for certain that sea levels would rise by some amount within say 50 years, and this would guarantee that many major coastal cities would be flooded within our lifetime unless we do x within the next decade, do you think people would do x?) Again, it's attitudes. No one wants to be out of pocket, and many people just don't see any visible downside to continue eating beef or getting their electricity from a coal fired power source.

Woohoo! For once Australia and New Zealand aren't 3 years later. Well done Twitter (and We are Hunted).
Two notes about this:

1) It's not that common any more except in older buildings.

2) Historically, this was because only cold water was deemed potable because it came directly from the mains supply, whereas hot water would be lying around heating tanks etc. and might be contaminated. So by keeping them separate, you always knew the cold water tap was safe to drink from.

LinkedIn Unveils New Mobile App for the Everyday Professional [video]
Why on earth would you disable pinch zoom on mobile web? It is the most useful feature, it allows the reader to adjust the amount and size of text displayed. I use it all the time and despise those web apps blocking it.

Html is elastic by nature, and html 5 will win over native apps because it is elastic.
What's always needed is simply properly used TLS (https). Even wording in the article is misleading. It's not about "closing port 80" but about "using only TLS."

Once you use TLS is the "HTTP basic" often the optimal solution. After reading the whole article, I still don't understand why would anybody try to make HTTP "secure" instead of simply using TLS. So my question to the author, paraphrasing the article title:

Why the hell simply not using TLS and thereby avoiding the "basic auth is bad" misdirection?

ensure that energy prices continue to increase

Why? There are huge benefits to society from allowing things like energy to become dirt cheap.

The mother of 100+ years ago had no option to pursue a career beyond keeping the house and making meals because she had to venture out every day to get fresh food because she had no way to store it.

She had no options for flash frozen meals that she could prepare quickly. Every dish had to be painstakingly prepared from scratch, which dominated her day.

That's just one example. There are thousands of others out there. Those thousands of other advancements have built upon each other in a cascade that has changed human existence for the better in most measurable ways.
I don't mean to be rude, but that mindset confines you to local optima. Life is not pain free - and we are all better for it. With no contrast, life is meaningless. Explore a little! Check out page 3 :)

Ask / Offer HN: Startup for hire?
Hi, we are the team behind kenHub - (www.kenhub.com).

TL;DR - Talented team of 3 looking for a short-term project (Ruby on Rails / Django) to do from Berlin, Germany.

Longer version:

Our project is going for about a year now, and we see good traction and growth. However, it still has some way to go before we are financially stable (hopefully in about 6 months according to our estimates).

Meanwhile, we ran out of cash. We can look for investments, but decided that we are much better at building apps than convincing investors and negotiating deals. Our startup is not looking for exit. We're trying to build a business to help students study anatomy. This makes us much less attractive for investment anyway...

We work great as a team, use agile methodologies and can deliver high quality code fast.
We have great experience in RoR, Django, HTML5/CSS3, responsive-web-design, system architecture, security and more.
To see some of our work - please check out our product at http://www.kenhub.com. We also created the open-source project Giraffe http://kenhub.github.io/giraffe/ and contributed to a couple of other open-source projects.

If you're looking for a small team to help out, build your prototype, help optimize a bottleneck or make some great coffee (we are also skilled at latte-art) - then please get in touch.

or if you have some bright idea on how to sky-rocket our startup from growing 8% per week to %800 - we'd be happy to hear from you...
Why is “Database Layer as a REST API” not common?
My colleagues just pointed out that the study of substituting diet sweetener for sugar in participants is flawed.

It doesn't prove that the sweeteners are also having an effect. There should be a control of drink without sweetener or glucose.
Ditto, just sent an email asking about this. There's a number of industries which frown upon allowing any sort of code or production data to be sent to a 3rd party host.
If you need the user's password in plaintext (or something easily derived from it), then your authentication scheme shouldn't send it over the network at all: there are better ways to handle that scenario.

Also keep in mind that a machine storing plaintext passwords has the same security requirements as a Kerberos KDC, and those requirements are very, very high. Don't do this unless you know what you're doing, and even if you do, you should seriously consider a different scheme (or just using Kerberos itself: they've already gotten things right, so you don't have to risk getting things wrong).
$100M+ might not be much in their line of work.

From wikipedia:

Manwin is the owner of many major pornographic web 2.0 websites including YouPorn, Pornhub, Tube8, XTube, ExtremeTube, JuicyBoys, Webcams, Mydirtyhobby, KeezMovies and SpankWire which between them generate some 16 billion visitors per month and consequently are believed to be among the most popular websites on the planet. Manwin also owns and operates a number of pornographic content brands such as Brazzers, Digital Playground, Mofos, MyDirtyHobby and Twistys.

So they control half (or more) of the biggest money maker on the internet. A far better investment than Instagram (with it's ridiculous $1 billion) ever was.
Is this a complaint against PBS? They are as close as we get to the BBC and they are excellent, I don't watch anything else except Netflix and sports. Commercials are really mind numbing.
There can and there are. When you start using bitcoin (with exchangers like Mt.Gox and with the satoshi client, and community in #bitcoin-otc) you learn quickly that paying a fee is a way to get more miners to pay attention to your block, but that your tx will likely go through without any fee.

Some day it's possible that you will have to mine a block to publish your own transactions! Not likely though, there will always be people willing to take less money to do it for you. And you're both right, if you start taking away the features then it undermines the advantages that generally bring users to bitcoin. Who knows what will happen. It's a software system with majority rules.
To be fair to BT I had Infinity before I moved and they installed it quickly and easily.

My point I guess is that when you fall outside of the A->B route you get tangled in this mess.
Well, that's a bummer. Why do they include services like iTunes and Spotify if they were going to limit the product's availability? I doubt that I'd use the service regularly, but I was excited to check it out.
As long as the government isn't paying for it, then what's the problem? Private CCTV is great: it's difficult to abuse by the government for mass surveillance, but can be subpoenaed after a crime's been committed so we still get the benefit in that regard, and at no cost to the tax payer.
>Me too. Besides, what makes me think that the "lead software engineer" (LSE?) for any company reads TC? Most LSEs wouldn't even know what it is. Seems a strange thing for him to have said.

This does not even make sense.

Where do you see even the slightest incompatibility of being a LSE for a company and reading TC?
The same criticism is relevant for craigslist "revamping" as well:

People go to porn sites ostensibly for the content. So long as the page is remotely usable (even if it looks like it was made back in the 20th century) people will use it. Just like with craigslist. Unless the site had more content or a lower price point (not sure how you beat free on the price point) it's not clear if they'll achieve even a modicum of success

That's not enough. The problem is that a client which mistakenly sends a request to Port 80 will send the Authentication request, which, as has already been established, includes (basically) cleartext credentials. Even if whatever you're hosting on Port 80 returns an error, the damage is already done. To prevent that, you have to abort the connection before the client even has a chance to send the request, i.e. closing Port 80.

This means that if you're going to use HTTP Basic authentication, you need to serve your API and your Website from different hosts.
Actually, I mused have screwed up last night. The version of curl I have does support it and does put it into the Auth header.

% curl --trace-ascii /dev/stdout http://jimktrains:password@news.ycombinator.com

Some UAs however, do just drop it. Like IE (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834489)
I'm not sure just what you mean, but to try to answer: $SESSION contains a meaningful context name, not a nonce string. Stuff in ~/.contexts/$SESSION sticks around unless I manually remove it (I also store context specific history and config files there). If I need to access a script from another context, I can just give the full path - winds up working a little bit like namespaces.

> Samsung's IP theft issues

While this is definitely super-scummy and nasty behaviour from Samsung, it's hard to take any comment seriously when it uses such a flawed new-speak phrase like "IP theft".

Even more so when it tries to gain substance by referring to Samsung as the bad guy when "violating" (or "stealing" lol) Apple's rounded rectangle patents.

Apple has their bullshit software patents constantly invalidated everywhere in the world except the US. Good thing Samsung footed the legal bill to make that happen.

Cheap energy without negative externalities is great. Unfortunately, the cheap energy sources we have available to us today come with horrible negative externalities - not only air pollution that causes 50,000 premature deaths a year in the United States, but also greenhouse gas emissions that are producing global warming and the devastating climatic changes that are already starting to happen.

Economic behavior is not static.

Industries use lots of free resources because they're free.

It is not possible to say a priori whether they could be profitable with different input prices, because there are myriad complex ways to economize and substitute.
Seems kinda par for the course for a Rails app.

http://meta.discourse.org/t/tuning-ruby-and-rails-for-discou...

Scroll down and you'll see that on an average request, Discourse eats up 230,000 strings [which are all objects in Ruby] per request.

The entire thread is about relaxing the garbage collector so that it won't run until the request is over.
Basic Auth should be used only with HTTPS/SSL - who does otherwise? Do not think HTTP Basic is a bad design choice with SSL for securing your service. Any security is brittle if you don't understand what you are upto. That said key based authentication is more apt for APIs.

Because claiming that it stinks on Android, while true, might be interpreted as a passive-aggressive way of implying that it does not stink on iOS, which would be far from the truth. iOS's browser is archaic compared to recent and not-so-recent Android browsers.
