No joke- Obama threatened a veto on privacy concerns and the senate punted on it- and yet:

The government is dead serious about turning every sizable company on the internet into a part of a gross-national cybersecurity infrastrucutre maintainer, and they are not going to quit until the internet has been adequately leashed by the legislative hand.

If corporations are people, this is definitely a violation of the 3rd amendment. Look it up, you probably haven't heard of it in the past couple hundred years or so.
I think it is already a bigger problem. In past Google has always been quick to accept their failures and correct it's course but with their social networking product I think they are not willing to admit that they are a miserable failure.
Now there is a good combination :)

Congratulations to all of you!

That chart is quite entertaining. Too complex to be accurate but very informative.
If you read the article you'd see he did miss something important, sulfur, which he has corrected. He's tweaking the formula as he goes, carefully monitoring his health and vital statistics (at a level I might add that seems way more involved than just about any "health nut" I've ever heard of), and doing research on various health and nutritional studies that are ongoing. Give him another year and a reasonable selection of volunteers to help test a wider audience with and I'm convinced he'll have something that will blow every other "diet" or nutrition shake out of the water.
3.99$ vs 0$ means it is infinitely better not just 4x times better.
He isn't pushing it as a product, he asked for volunteers to help test its suitability as a food substitute. This is research, not marketing.

The DoD is committing to Android as a platform in a massive way. Apps 4 Army is a key example. The push is so large and widespread that I think it will force the whole US Gov't along with it. Everyone from political leaders, to soldiers, to doctors at VA hospitals, to employees at defense contractors, will be required to use Android because of government security certifications and custom apps. There's a good chance that Android will become the very dominant winner in the mobile platform space because of this.
I had a taste of those elitist attitudes a few years ago when I was looking up how to add a user on an Ubuntu server and the top result for a search on "ubuntu add user" was this page:

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/add-a-user-on-ubuntu-s...

Ubuntu has two commands for this, useradd and adduser, where adduser is the easier one for newbies, while useradd is more flexible but has a lot of ways you can get it wrong. In fact, 'man useradd' recommends using adduser instead.

Unfortunately, that how-to page starts with useradd, and the first example on the page is:

useradd <username>

It isn't until later on the page that it mentions that there are some options you must add to the command if you want it to set up everything correctly for a typical user. And if you leave these options out, the page doesn't explain how to fix it after the fact.

Finally, near the bottom of the page it mentions the adduser command that would have worked with no special options and no hassles.

So, being at the time a Linux newbie, I worked through the how-to and tried the useradd command it suggested, got myself into a situation where I wasn't sure exactly what I'd really done and hadn't done, then finally discovered the adduser command I should have used in the first place. I posted a reasonably polite complaint that the how-to had led me down the wrong path and it ought to start with the recommended adduser command instead of just mentioning it in passing at the end.

The responses I got were fairly eye-opening. (Click the "show archived reader comments (36)" link to see them.)

This one was my favorite:

> Michael Greary [sic] you are a D&%K H#$&D. You’re the 1 that messed it up no1 else, and anyone else for that matter.

> Hopefully you’ve learnt by now that when blindly running linux commands you should read the whole article to make sure it’s what you want first.

> Blaming it on other ppl isn’t gonna help either. You should’ve said it by admitting your mistake, asking for a way to rectify it.

> (sigh) I bet you have no friends

I have to admit he was right. Clearly, I am not worthy of using Ubuntu!
Interestingly, I remember reading an article saying that people who have never programmed before could learn haskell faster than they could learn java. But people who already learned java take longer than someone with no experience to learn haskell. I will see if I can find the link.

Ask HN: How to keep track of my online ad?
I posted an ad on a website where I get charged by CPM (cost per thousand views).

My questions is how do I know I'm not getting over charged?

How do I know they're running my ad? I can't check the website all day and they revolve many ads on the website.
I've been hoping for innovation in the app for a while now. It'd be nice to have any sorts of options or filters to help you clear your backlog, such as "filter by shortest to longest" or "show all half read articles".

Hopefully this deal helps innovating an app that has become a bit stale.
"What about accessory charges? You don't get to have clean hands just because some else does the dirty work for you."

What about them? My issue is not with whether or not the guy is a criminal, but with whether or not it makes sense for "involves a computer" to mean "doubles the penalty."

"why should we abstain from charging the guy with everything we can pin on him?"

What if we had a law that criminalized crime itself, so that nobody could ever claim to have broken only one law? How would you feel about prosecutors using such a law to double the number of charges against every defendant?

I do not want to live in a society where anyone who is accused of a crime faces decades in prison, especially not when we already have the largest prison population on the planet. Computers are already ubiquitous, and will be even more ubiquitous in the future. If any crime that involves a computer is really two, three, or more crimes, then as time goes on the penalties for crimes will become increasingly severe regardless of whether or not the harm to society increases.

"you always splutter about how unfair it is and how much it's used for leverage against defendants"

Most defendants never have a jury trial, because they are pressured into taking a plea bargain. That is a problem, especially when defendants already have to wait years before they get a trial. Anything that gives prosecutors more power over defendants exacerbates this situation and clears the way for even more people to be imprisoned.

"You need to show that prosecutors could not bring as many charges for an equivalent crime of stealing something from a safe or locked filing cabinet"

That is not equivalent. The equivalent crime would be having a friend in the office hold a door open so that you can enter and make a copy of some documents. There are two crimes there: conspiracy, and theft of trade secrets.

"you need to show why the breach of trust involved in compromising a private computer system doesn't or shouldn't matter"

It does matter, but what matters is that there was a breach of trust. The fact that a computer is involved is irrelevant.
Only if it's an article that's worth being on HN. The problem is that the "forbidden domain" idea is a pretty indiscriminate tool.

And clearly it doesn't work that way, it's just that this case has led me to wonder what could or should be done instead. I don't know why this site is black-listed - we never get told such things - but perhaps a good article should be accessible, even if the site it's on is usually rubbish.
So, publicly shaming and getting two individuals fired for talking about forking a Git repo isn't extremism?
That is a good point which is quite apparent today. :)
Finally, someone else gets it! This drink has the total package, much more so than any ensure or power bar.

I agree. Despite the fact they said they removed copy-paste elements from the process they used in Oblivion, I found there were much fewer dungeons in Skyrim and that they all felt more similar than those in previous Elder Scrolls games.

it's up to you but with that many sentences and enumerated rules of response you might consider making your rebuttal by linking to what you would consider a more typical picture of you.

Ask HN: Any Bus Dev Type's looking for PT opp?
I've noticed alot of people look for develoeprs or designers on here. But I'm actually in the opposite sitution. I have a website/business idea that needs a business developement/sales person to turn this into a business with revenue. The business needs someone to work with local retail companies. So this will require going to businesses and building relationships and developing sales. Significant equity would be available based on performance.
Now there is some pie-in-the-sky hope. I don't think it is going to play out that way though.
Well that's news to me. The last I looked was before November, I guess, and before that it still had the same old crufty UI from like 5 years ago. The userbase had been pretty up-in-arms about it for a while too: http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Vote-here-for-linux-skyp...

Thoughts Regarding the Acquisition of Instapaper
It has always puzzled me why a professor would be willing to repeat the answers from previous years. Some account that people that work "harder" would be solving previous exams, but this is given that the exams are available to all the class (which is a prerequisite for this argument to be true).

I've found myself in classes where a group had exams, problem sets and other information from previous years (and solved) and they hid and refused to share those.
One way to look at it is that the money people paid for Instagram has already gone to Marco.

What he's "selling" are potential future customers, subscriber fees, and ads.

I don't know what the curve on user adoption looks like, but it seems like a smart choice from a financial point of view.

It'll be interesting how this fits into the upcoming Digg RSS reader.

I have the same issues on an Asus laptop. It was well supported on 12.04 LTS but the 12.10 is obviously a big failure.
Not to speak about the system that slow down by itself, some swap mess I don't have time to fix, and the overall growing instability of the system tools. Memcheck segfault, then the report tool activate itself, inspect, segfault, launch again...
I also upgraded a pc of a friend from an good old athlon xp to a new shiny i3, and guess what the official, libre, graphic driver is just unable to run correctly, apparently because of a bad switch in an internal opcode.

Something is wrong here. The massive shift of devs from linux to OSX should warn some people somewhere about the overall quality of their stuff. A quality that we have been proud for decades.

Actually, the OP was talking about Safe Haskell, which is not the same as unsafePerformIO. While the two are related, they are different. While Safe Haskell does not really map to the Rust unsafe functions, unsafePerformIO does.
> I mean when you get a rate that high, it seems like it must be just a relatively heavy element, and a metal, like Gold, and relatively unreactive (just carrying ions and such).

This is the opposite of the truth. Lithium is not dense at all (~.53g/cm^3), especially for a metal, and as a Group 1 metal is extroardinarily reactive - if you cut lithium it will oxidize as you watch, and if you expose it to water is will explode into flaming chunks.

> I imagine they don't get to 100% because they just don't bother to heat it high enough to melt things in there with a ridiculously high melting point and risk creative copper fumes and whatnot (from some metals evaporating). i.e. it's still easy, they just don't want to.

No. Lithium has a very low melting point (roughly 180C/355F).

Furthermore, your contention that a process with an efficiency of 93% should be easy to bring to 100% is so off base I don't even know where to begin. Squeezing out the last few percentage points is the hardest part!

This is classic Marco, nothing to see here. He's just a child who starts this stuff over nothing, from what I've seen.
As the article establishes, beauty in the traditional sense mostly means "average."

To some extent I think you can take more control over your appearance by searching for an identity that goes beyond traditional elements - taking an artistic approach to one's fashion, makeup, outlook, etc. Music subculture has done this numerous times since the 20th century, and more recently queer culture has been deconstructive of many of the traditional attitudes towards beauty. Those ideas are deliberately positioned against the mainstream, yet have an influence on it over time - you can get away with a far more outlandish appearance in a modern urban area now than 30 years ago.

As well, we're going to keep adding corrective measures over time.

So I see society heading towards a "meeting in the middle" in some respects - creating all permutations of attractiveness.
It's not clear whether you mean to imply vitamin D production or cancer, which makes your reply much less cutting. :)
Indeed.

So let's be precise. A Proven Ore Reserve is not all that is feasible to extract with current technology, it is all that which has been proven feasible. Emphasis on proven.

Given a large resource area it's generally the case that only a partial area has been studied to the degree required to classify as Proven (often three or four increasingly detailed Technical Reports down the line).

If the lithium deposits in the article have only just been found (that part is unlikely given they've gotten to the stage of having a rough estimate) then there's some way to go before they are sampled to the point of being feasible. Moreover if the deposit is split into portions it's probable that only one sub deposit at a time will climb the ladder to Proven.

Investors would be watching for a gradual climb in the degree of Tech Report being released and poised to bet the bank just prior to the release of an Economic Feasibility Study, typically the first Prospectus to be floated (if it goes public) would be of the order of ~$50 million for a drill survey; a 'low cost' high risk evaluation. The penultimate Feasibility Study consolidates all the prior deposit evaluations and outlines the plant and extraction costs, paving the way for a 'big bucks' Prospectus to fund the major initial extraction capital costs.
Also, 6% (a conservative return) on a $12.6BB endowment is $720 million annually.

I think the military appreciates the security advantages of open source more than many other organizations. There's really no way to trust national security information to black-box proprietary systems. This concern has even extended to the actual chips running the software, since they're often made in China.
EDIT:

I'm going to clarify to the following and leave it that.

The world is not a homogenous group where cheaters can dominate honest folks with their mathematically 'dominating' strategy.

instead honest folks very much do make it a top priority to avoid these cheaters.

if a top university teaches cheating, its alums will simply not have access to, for example, honest early-stage markets based on trust.

i disagree with the findings of the article for this reason.
