Classic News Corp. material - lazy and sensationalist. Unless the people who are targeted start filing libel suits and claiming damages in these cases, the organizations that profit from this jump-to-conclusions journalism crap will keep just on doing it.

Listen to NPR, read the New York Times, AP Wire. Stay the hell away from TV and all News Corp. publications.
I think you misunderstood my point.

1. You receive a newsletter from [Retailer] and forward it to me.

2. I click unsubscribe

3. Ideally I'd enter my email. No damage done. But what if the unsub link is like a lot of unsub links, and it's something like: http://email.retailer.com/unsub.php?e=firebeyond@ycombinator...? Then you get unsubscribed, I've done nothing to make sure I don't get the emails anymore, and if [Retailer] doesn't send you a confirmation, you never get another email and you probably forget about them.
I typically dance to music that makes me feel cool while walking to job interviews. So far it has worked really well.
Increasing the social safety net, increasing regulations on commerce and business, leveraging the public largesse for greater equality aren't using the same words as "big government", but aren't doable without one.

I agree with your point in that it was an invective, pithy statement, but the big government categorization wasn't unfounded.
>In this case, same thing.

When people use the term "mob justice" they are usually referring to something less benign than the public collaborating online to provide the FBI with the tips they're asked the public for.

>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?

Anyone finding themselves in the spotlight unexpectedly is going to be stressed. He's doing the right thing by going to the authorities. His name will then likely be quickly cleared.
The margins in high-end apparel are so high that it would be better to send three sizes rather than magically select the right one. It's also a better customer experience as the consumer gets a chance to try on merchandise that feel their way to the right choice for their particular body. It also appeals to affluent buyers because they feel the merchant is catering to them in a way that is common in an in-store experience.

Consider MacPorts over homebrew.. I'll withhold opinion on any system that turns the only sanctioned UNIX for site adminitrator's control ONLY directory in the system (since like the 80s) into a Git repository. MacPorts (and basically every other system of this kind) gets it right, unsurprisingly

I'd never have believed a day would come where something like Homebrew would ever gain the traction it has.
"Sending to authorities" is great.

"Posting on the Internet" is not.
You are absolutely correct, and your interlocutor is mistaken to use a whitening transformation before PCA.
I don't know who on the Obama team is spearheading his tech policy-- but thanks. You're doing better than I ever expected you could.
Yes, I agree. I use extjs for our product (iKnode), but lately we have been moving towards AngularJs.

But I agree, extjs needs a considerable amount of investment in time and mindshare, because of the way it is built. I actually like it very much. Hey I built my product based on it.

But lately I have seen extjs as old, and in need of love. AngularJs for example is easily lovable and easy to learn.
Joe Navarro also wrote an excellent book on how to read poker tells called "Read 'em and Reap."

LIVE: FBI Press Conference About Boston Marathon Bombing
"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.

Sounds vaguely like how the US justifies torture.
I'm surprised that "phag" is blocked but "fag" isn't.
So the whole "directly related to a cyber threat" thing doesn't limit the data that can be shared in any way?

I wish this bill were more focused on network security events and didn't have any language in it to deal with stuff like cyberbullying, but I'm glad it's moving forward.

Worst case scenario we find it in the Supreme Court where it gets narrowed to be more like what it should have been written as. Happens all the time, we're not going to wake up to a dystopian future with silent arrests and "we have always been at (cyber) war with Eastasia!" the day this passes.
Google is a large corporation. Apple is a large corporation. Yahoo is a large corporation. Still, I bet you their LSE know fully what TC is.

LSE's often leave large corporations to create their own startups. Or have created their own startups in the past (think Brad Fitzpatrick, for example). Or the want to move on to management (which is were knowing the market is beneficial, and TC helps).

Perhaps when you hear LSE you have some ancient, bureaucratic, enterprise, just finishing replacing COBOL with Java in mind, and mindless J2EE programmer drones. But not all --or even most-- LSEs are like that. And said company, Manwin, is as far from the typical bureaucratic old enterprise as you can get.

It would make sense that a "powerless" gesture taken in deference to another is seen as a sign of respect.
Awesome? Really? Not in the slightest.

The CMO just sent him yet another useless, contentless message.

If he had any sincerity he would have first looked into it, then fixed it and only then replied to say that he had fixed it already.
Sencha has so many products, that if you are working with ExtJs, you tend to search using "extjs" instead of sencha.

So the keyword still applies. Search for sencha might be mixed with other frameworks they have.
In all honesty, though, email is not exactly a secure way to send a message.

Now, I'm not disagreeing with you, but there are times when it makes sense.
I'd call his Poignant Guide less of a tutorial on Ruby and more of an immersive experience. Chunky bacon, indeed.

Did 4Chan Just Find the Boston Bombers?
This was issued on Tuesday, before the bill was passed in the House by a veto-proof margin of 288-117. The only hope for rejection is Congress mustering less than 60 Yeas.
Or just use vi mode 'set -o vi' in sh, 'set editing-mode vi' in ~/.inputrc for bash and other readline clients.
This is actually one of the rare situations where I think it's not appropriate to credit the White House "team" for things. A decision to announce a veto threat, almost by definition, happens at the very top of the ladder. We really do need to be thanking the President and Chief of Staff on this, for listening to whoever on the team was spearheading tech policy and making a bold call based on those recommendations.

The logic you refer to is "the ends justify the means"... but I assure you that I considered both in my statement. There are definitely arguments to be made that say I am wrong.
Would a less exploitative model for freemium games be to allow in-app purchases up to a pre-set maximum? I.e. you can play this game for free, and also be assured that you'll never spend more than $80 on it.

The fun part is watching people actually try to control their body language in reality. You can try, but if you aren't feeling what that "power pose" is broadcasting, you'll just look like an idiot to anyone even remotely paying attention.

You aren't going to gain leadership by leaning back and spread eagling in a business meeting. You're going to gain it by being an actual leader and doing stuff that adds value to an organization.

Quite true. And, sometimes things are already in comparable units. For example, grayscale image intensities.

And the web highly relies on the native ecosystem. Since we have freedom of the native development on PCs, a number of browsers have been created and improving. However in mobile devices, that ecosystem is totally broken. When you have trouble with browsers on restricted OSs (such as iOS and Firefox OS), you can't do anything! I feel something like free riding is happening. This is far from "open" movement.

The web platform can't exist without native platforms after all, since browsers are native applications.
This is great stuff as long as you like people who breath their own exhaust.

As soon as you encounter someone who is not speaking the same language, there will be great confusion. Usually, this means anyone from outside of MBA/Marketing/ or other art-of-BS type disciplines.
Iran: A Case Study on How Not to Break News Online
I feel like this is one of those instances where, once everyone knows about it, everyone does it, and everyone knows why you're doing it. Therefore, it eventually becomes ineffective (perhaps there is a name for this phenomenon). If I keep seeing books/blog posts/news segments on "power poses" then every interviewee starts putting their feet on my table, surely I'll notice. It's the body language version of a buzzword.

Also Zed Shaw had an interesting take on putting your feet on the table, but the link appears to be dead now. See:

You can also see mismatches on the egg one. There's enough extra egg tacked on to each egg in the "hole" picture to allow another egg to be created.
I came here to comment and guess who I saw lol

I think this is such a boneheaded move. Why is the Japanese government so anachronistic and unreformed when it comes to Internet policy?
Perhaps you are unconsciously responding to the "power move"? I had a boss who would routinely show up late to sales calls _we_ were making. We were the salesmen; we'd show up 10 minutes late. He said it was classic power strategy. Make them think they're waiting on you. I was pissed, back then. Today, I'm less incredulous and wonder if he was on to something.
Unruly mobs tend to be made up of perfectly normal people, who never intended to be an unruly mob in the first place. It is remarkable hoe a group of people can suddenly act as one coherent unit. Not just in thought, if you observe a mob form the air they make patterns like migrating birds to.

Great idea. I suggest changing the title. 'Non-technical' people don't think that they're not non-technical since they can open a spreedsheet, gmail and use dropbox. I'd actually recommend making the book broader - not just for non-technical staff - but for any stakeholder.

Democrats may support some policies that lead to big government, however they don't support big government as inherently good, but merely as a unavoidable side effect to other important policies. Republicans, on the other hand, frequently argue that small government is worthwhile for it's own sake.

> it was his interpretation from Reddit comments that Salah was one possible suspect

It's a huuuuuuge backpedal to go all the way from "reddit thought this guy was the bomber" to "one person on HN saw a reddit comment and it made him think that the guy was one possible suspect".

> no amount of nuance is worth anything when stuff leaks out of Reddit

Sure, but then the blame needs to be placed at the feet of the person who misrepresents the reddit post -- not on reddit itself.

Speaking of which, misrepresenting reddit is exactly what your comment at the top of this thread is doing. You should edit it.

FBI Updates on Boston explosions
Here is the former Dean of Harvard as well as the President of the John W. Pope Center for Higher Education, discussing "Colleges Must Promote Personal Responsibility, Not 'He-Said, She-Said' Trials"

http://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2013/04/17/colleges-mus...

In 2011, relying on the gender equity provisions of Title IX, the federal government issued standards for the conduct of sexual assault proceedings in virtually all American colleges. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the Department of Education advised colleges that they must use the “preponderance of evidence” standard of civil court proceedings, not the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard of criminal trials. Within a year, almost all institutions, including UNC, had complied rather than risk the loss of federal funding.

The lower standard of proof will result in more convictions—of both guilty and innocent individuals. For some, perhaps, a few false positives are merely the collateral damage of outcomes that are more just in aggregate. But this is not a convincing argument in a society that values individual rights. The lower penalty for a conviction in a college court—a “rapist” label and career-shattering expulsion, rather than imprisonment—does not justify a lower standard of proof.

Why would the Office of Civil Rights dictate to schools they had to lower the evidentiary standard in sexual misconduct cases? Who/What was behind that agenda?
you're right; point taken. the language can be harmful. but to argue about the language ignores the fact that whatever we call it, it had unintended negative consequences that need to be addressed if we plan on rehashing this tactic.
I'd argue being doxxed means some nutcases already did go off on you.
> Ironically NY Post was one of the "news" sources

Just as the WSJ published about people in custody, the lesson is clear: Do not bother listening to any Rupert Murdock publication for news.

The WSJ should just stick to finance, and the NYP should stick to whatever it is that it does well. (Remind me: What was it that the NYP does well?)
For accuracy, it looks like they did receive threats. Apparently from a friend of his on Reddit.

"the 2 guys been getting shit of calls, and they are scared like hell"

The other day I was trying to make some kind of transaction with Dwolla, and before I could, they asked me a series of questions to verify my identity.

The questions had obviously been pulled from a background check based on my name that I didn't know they had done. It was asking me what the price of a house was when I originally bought it, and what street I lived on in a given time period.

Outside of this being really creepy, all of the questions weren't actually useful for identifying me because they all applied to my father. I am a Jr., and the background check must have been run for my dad.

I also now have a reasonable idea of the price range my dad paid for a house that we moved into when I was 7, which I never would have known or asked about otherwise.

At this point I'm afraid to continue using the service. They allowed me to transfer $1,000 into it, but apparently don't know enough about me to let me make certain transactions. They should get everything they need for me to use 100% of their service up front, and not have this staggered approach where additional identity info is required to transfer money, at the last minute when you're trying to do the transfer.

Right now it seems that they could at any arbitrary moment determine that they haven't actually identified me well enough, and suspend my account.

I don't think Dwolla is the payment solution we've been looking for. At least not yet.
Simple startup idea - Looking for feedback
I've been toying around with a project focusing company profiles/job pages. It's about 95% done and nearing a beta launch. I'm not sure if it's a multi-million dollar idea but I've been having a ton of fun with it. In any event, I certainly have a lot to learn, and am looking for feedback.
I live in Cool Springs. I had the 50Mbps service which they recently doubled to 100Mbps (with the same 300GB cap unfortunately). They had been playing advertisements on the radio about doubling speeds and someone in my area mentioned they power cycled their modem and got the new speeds, which worked for me.

I don't have TV or Phone service from them, only Internet. I'm not sure if it's a promo or not, but that's what I've been paying since January 01 when I cut my TV service.

Iterating a RESTful API service for NLP
For lawyers probably "operational network data" is vague, but for the technical readers on HN I think it is clear that this is much more restricted than what is actually allowed by the bill. For example operational network data contains perhaps access logs & http headers, but it does not include, say, your emails. For this bill however, there are many conceivable situations under which it would grant immunity for the sharing of your emails. So for the HN audience "operational network data" does not adequately cover the the bill, and furthermore the things that "operational network data" does not include are exactly the the kind of private information that people are most worried about.

If it was up to me then I would certainly first change other aspects of the bill which are far worse than this definition, but as far as this particular definition goes, I would limit the information that can be shared to the information that can reasonably lead to the solution of the problem (fixing vulnerability / removing threat / stopping evil efforts) not "information pertaining to the vulnerability / threat / efforts". It may well turn out that in court that is already how this will be interpreted, but the problem is that this wording does not make that clear at all. And in a legal case where it has to be decided whether a company gets immunity for a particular piece of information that was shared, "reasonably" should be determined by an external technical expert, and not according to the private opinions of the person who shared the information.

I think you're wrong. It's unrealistic for the President to have a strong opinion personally on every bill and item going through Congress.

He has a policy team that stays on top of all of it, and he is briefed as necessary.

He may have made the call, but the information and impetus to do so will have come from his team.

I'm looking for sources that describe the process, but I know I've read some Obama team related articles recently.
