All "cyberbullying" does is prevent the bullying from stopping when the kids go home.

That's a pretty big 'all'

It's amazing how much of an impact the internet can have on people's lives, even in the days before YouTube or Facebook.
I note that not one comment below addresses the substantive issues arising from this article:

Who had the means, motive & opportunity to disrupt the Syrian internet traffic?

Most likely one of the NATO intelligence agencies.
It's not a very big pain point. If I want to share links with friends, I tweet at them or send a DM, or use an IM client. So I would only need this app when sending a link to a friend that's not on Twitter or IM, which is like once a week. Not a big enough need to install a bookmarklet.

That said, it does appear pretty well done. I would consider taking the code and pivoting to an adjacent concept - one that you've validated and proved product-market fit.

Realistically, if this bill were to pass unamended, it'd be a massive, massive win for consumers and technologists. The odds are stacked massively against us.

When the DMCA was passed, it was considered a "grand bargain" between the content industry and ISPs/websites that allow user-generated content. In exchange for not being directly liable for content their users post (the safe-harbor provisions), the content industry were granted the anti-circumvention provisions.

As far as Google (in particular Youtube), Yahoo, AT&T are concerned, the safe-harbor provisions are absolutely fine as they are. The content industry argues that they put a big burden on them by requiring them to scan and find infringing content, and have repeatedly pushed to have the safe-harbor provision weakened.

Regarding Section 1201 of "anti-circumvention" there really isn't a single large lobby of folks who would want to push to have them weakened. Microsoft, game developers, and other traditional software companies rely heavily on DRM, and companies like Apple would rather not have their devices jailbroken. And Google et al. don't want to disturb the existing peace with the content producers - they think that opening up the DMCA in any way opens up an opportunity for content producers to weaken the safe-harbor provisions.

As such, the only people pushing for DMCA reform are small independent groups like mine, folks like Kyle Wiens at iFixit, and a handful of security researchers and public interest groups. The content lobby can easily throw a few dozen million at a lobbying effort to quash our efforts if they think they'd increase piracy in any way shape or form, as the potential harm that could come to them from an increase in piracy is massive. And carriers and electronics manufacturers don't stand to gain by allowing things like unlocking and jailbreaking.

That being said, there's really no good argument for anti-circumvention applying in cases where there's clearly no copyright infringement. So our hope is that common sense and advocacy campaigns like the one we're running now will carry the day.
Oh yeah, I have no doubt that it's a tough battle. I mean, do you really think the government wants to be transparent? Hell no, otherwise all the crooked county commissioners and city council members who are getting kickbacks to support zoning changes, etc., would be more likely to get exposed. And obviously nobody wants that... :-)
Who the fuck are native New Yorkers?
Why can't the existing industry do this?

It's pretty classic "innovator's dilemma" material but a more interesting comparison here is Fisker (probably going out of business) vs Tesla (currently making a small bit of money).

Fisker did exactly what you suggest, they took a bunch of 'off the shelf' components and bolted them together into a nicely shaped car body. They 'designed' an electric car where "car" was the most significant bit and "electric" was the least significant bit. Since existing off the shelf electric gear couldn't get the range they wanted they added a gas powered generator.

Tesla (and I put all of this on Elon) appear to have ripped up history and started from how do we build something you can drive around based on electricity. They seem to have started with what properties do the batteries have to have, what capacity, what weight does that impose etc. They took that very expensive engineering and thinking about power trains and then slapped a Lotus brand body on it to appeal to the elite geek crowd. And they instrumented the hell out of it.

Then they took all of that knowledge and said, ok, given what we know about how this stuff worked, what did and didn't work? Now lets incorporate that into what comes next.

I found that engineering focused direction very appealing, work from zero, develop an expertise, test that understanding, iterate and improve. Now at rev 2.0 they have a much better product than rev 1.0. Their X series should be really something to behold.

Elon also bet big on being able to create an electric drive train with range. Had he started a couple of years earlier he might have missed out by building with Nickel based batteries rather than Lithium based ones. So there is a timing component as well. The larger companies have all put their toes into the water (the EV-1 for example) but hadn't yet committed to jumping. They don't have to commit since they have a working business, building the equivalent to the Roadster or the Model S would have been merely incremental to their business rather than whether they lived or died. So I expect they were waiting for a bit more clarity on this stuff. They always have the option of buying Tesla later and they take no risk in the meantime. Clearly that was on Toyota's mind when they invested.

You can see the same forces at work in SpaceX so it suggests to me it's a management style that Elon expresses.
> It was her idea, she concocted the theory, investigation and reported the results.

As far as Bloomberg reports. Her father is hinted as being a heart surgeon ("given her father's specialty") but it's never explicitly pointed out in the article.

She's obviously extremely intelligent—and I have no qualms with a 14 yo getting some hints from their parents for a project idea—but the article seems designed to sensationalise an issue that has long existed.

"Apple story == page views".
That's not doing anything ..

There must be something more. I can get that kind of performance with standard stuff (and with little optimization if any).
And yet Virgin America still can't turn a profit.

Southwest was incredibly successful and disruptive to the airline industry (to the point where today's legacy carriers look much more like Southwest than like the flagship carriers of the 70s and 80s). Virgin America has yet to do anything that significant, and there's a good chance it never will.
Why is "If you don't like it, get out" perceived as a reasonable response to only a very narrow set of ideas? It seems very strange to me. Nobody says "If you don't like your neighbor owning guns, move to Canada," "If you don't like the small size of your future social security payouts, naturalize in some country with larger entitlements," or "If you want to sell cars directly to consumers rather than to dealerships, just do it in Europe," because of course it would be completely unreasonable to say these things. Instead, for most ideas, people will bother to agree or disagree, knowing that both society and the law tend to change over time based on the views of people.

Hm. Visiting NYC and riding on the subway in Manhattan my friend and I were the only whites on the car and were called every name in the book by a group of blacks who were having fun seeing what kind of reaction they'd get. Racism is everywhere because it's part of human nature to fear people who look different from you. Goes back to tribal, pre-civilization times. If you think there are no racists in NYC you are in denial.
I typically recommend against buying Vastrm because now that I have a bunch of Vastrm shirts all my other shirts feel like they don't fit that well in comparison. They can't compete.

I'm not a super fashion-conscious person but damn these shirts feel good.

Disclosure, I was in Vastrm's batch.

What jballanc is saying is that yes these things are possible in Objective-C, but the technique of doing these tricks in Ruby/Motion is an order of magnitude simpler and idiomatic:

klass = Object.const_set "MySubclass", Class.new(Object)

klass.send(:attr_accessor, :foo)

klass.send(:define_method, "description") {
"<#{self.class}: foo=#{self.foo}>"

vi with mouse integration? They have had this for years. Download the source and grok my friend. You probably are running nvi and not vim. Also in either your terminal or x you can simply middle click your mouse if you need to mouse copy/paste. I recommend addressing in ex mode or using the vi visual mode commands to do it. If your really dependent on "drag/drop" gui style editing using ex proper will defeat that. In vim I'm sure a simple script would even bring it to the gui drag/drop concept to the editor by automating addressing from mouse selection. Though it would be slower for the end user and simply not provide the flow and control ed and vi/ex users have had for years.
Honestly, I doubt almost any of the aqui-hire deals happened because the team didn't care about or want the product to work out. I assume this is more often a soft-landing for failure.. companies that aren't working out, finding their model, or gaining enough traction.. so the team ends up taking a signing bonus to jump somewhere together.

Is there much evidence people are really starting shops just to prove their team is worth hiring?

Another note: a reasonable sign that you're at risk of getting 'shafted' as a user is that the company is relatively new, definitely not profitable, and you're not paying for the product.
Tell your client you don't work with WP unless they sign forms indemnifying you in the event their site gets owned and everything they have stored electronically stolen. Which will happen eventually, because WordPress. When I explain this to clients, they become open to other solutions that don't involve WP. To me, WP is like jQuery: A useful tool in the right situation, but far too often used because a developer is either lazy or lacking the technical skill to use something more appropriate.

Now let's see how quickly this gets downvoted into oblivion because WP.
Yeah, sometimes the thumbnailing doesn't quite succeed (that's all done client side). Somewhat unclear why. Still some debugging to do...
Yes, racism is everywhere, but your story sounds a little fishy. I don't think you can ever be more than 20 feet away from a white person in Manhattan, 24 hours a day, and that's including Harlem.

More to the point, in a city where there's tons of diversity on every street corner, there might still be some racists out there but you can guarantee their racism is just making them miserable every day -- most of us enjoy the diversity.

Sorry, not much of a purchaser using Apple's services. To me the store to buy hardware, the store to by music, and the store to buy apps have the same password and are from the same company, so I think of them as the same.
"Listen up bad guys..."

That's just... bad. To talk about "bad guys" in a non-genre-savvy way just smacks of poor writing to me. To do so as part of the first sentence in the opening cinematic for the kickstarter video does not instill me with confidence.

Then again, maybe it's something from the novels that's more than it appears here. I'm not familiar with the novels, so that's a possibility.
This seems like a terrible design decision. I always thought magnets were interfering with the function of the pacemaker, but to use them as a crude communication protocol is rather.. disconcerting.
Very sweet. What's the tech here?
Very cool—may need to give Vastrm a try soon!

Just a note, and I'm not even sure the shirt is Vastrm's, but the shirt of the man in the photo at the end of this point is far too tight (see how it pull across his chest?) May not be the best representation of your product. Cool blazer, though! Pique is a great spring/summer blazer fabric.
I didn't read that tone at all. I think he was just pointing out that the people most likely to have access to mail (outside of Google itself) would be the government, so why bother encrypting at all if a warrant undoes it?
So ironic that the paper about these findings is not reproducible itself because the initial data set is not available for legal reasons.

I joke about this to myself, but my 1972 VW Type 3 (eg: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1966_Volkswagen_1600_Squar...) actually has a lot of similarities with the Tesla;

1) [X] no radiator
2) [X] grill-less front end (see also (1))
3) [X] smooth underbody
4) [X] "frunk" (front trunk)
5) [X] storage in rear, in addition to frunk.

I guess the point is, in some ways, we've been "living in the future" for a long time; it's just that we haven't been marketed-to enough to realize it. Tesla is interesting to me, and I'm not trying to diminish what they've accomplished, but at least some of the little things that "fell out" of the design that people seem to impressed by are 50 years old.

It's just interesting, that's all.

No, it isn't. PyPy code is very poorly commented and documented, there's a lot going on inside the same codebase. So far, it feels like the only people who hack it are the ones who wrote it. This needs to be sorted out before we see mass adoption.
Yep, consider the source.
Because the average person's data is probably worth far more than they're willing to pay to encrypt it.

This is a bummer but I admire how they've handled the acquisition. I was an avid user of Punchfork until its acquisition and was bummed with the way they handled user data (More info here: https://github.com/fictivekin/openrecipes#the-story)

I'm really glad they're giving users complete control to acquire their data and, even better, that they're encouraging developers to use their data and import it into other tools.

Have a look at KNN Matting http://ihome.ust.hk/~dli/projects/knn/. Their MATLAB implementation uses a similar style to yours but is not as real time. They take single mouse clicks and spread them over a much larger window/bounding box. Only takes a few clicks on foreground/background to get excellent results.
Same here - people that I haven't worked with but know socially have endorsed me for totally unrelated programming skills that were last used in the late 90s. LinkedIn suggests something, and people click Next-Next-Next. The whole endorsements thing is a joke.

Also not a big fan of LinkedIn's asking me to connect to the spouses of exes I haven't talked to, emailed, stalked, nor seen for 15 years and several email accounts. Massively creepy.
OK, maybe the "technology" is out of date, how about what you are allowing them do with it?

In my circles there are folks still writing and building new tools for the Commodore 64. Same old 6510/Commodore BASIC but employing new programs with new methods and some new add-on hardware.

So, as another respondent asked, are you offering them the ability enhance and update that older yet cool useful application (using the tried and true technology), or just merely maintaining it?
Rent control is a red herring. It is dying along with the aging tenents still on it. Rent stabilization, including all the new "affordable housing" units built to get luxury developers more air rights or a tax abatement, is here to stay.

Not that either one effects the outer boroughs much (minus the parts of Brooklyn that might as well be Manhatten). As it happens that other city is also where you'll find most real New Yorkers living.

Assuming that she was competing for the Intel Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), as a former judge, I can say that her project has a major red flag. One of the disqualification criteria applied to projects is to examine if an Institutional Review Board (IRB) properly vetted her project and approved experimention on human subjects. From my perspective, if her paperwork was anything less than pristine, signed, and notarized, I could not imagine a judging committee electing it to first place.
That's a really cool project! Definitely going to look into it for some of our more complicated courses, but for this course compilation is usually under a half-second so it's not the compilation that's slow (it's the way we are tearing down an entire VM after every submission, we are working on changing that now)
If it's a custom made stick, and not just some dumb mass-storage, it could do the crypto authentication in the stick itself, without ever copying the private key to the main device. It's basically how smartcards work.
In the short term it's good practical advice to not make yourself a target. Maybe we'll fix bullying in 100, 200, 300 years. But that doesn't do anything to help a kid that's going to be bullied in the near future.

Hmm, I agree, but for me it's solved the pain point of not bothering my friends with generic links they can watch whenever (you can configure YourPane to send you a digest). IM interrupts them and DM/tweets take many clicks, so this is better for me.

That said, I understand that this might be the reason people aren't using it, so I'll see if I can add a bit more functionality to make it more useful.

Thank you very much for the feedback and the links, I will read them all.

This is very dangerous. Just from the first paragraph of the page, it is stated that the bill will allow all types of software modification.

A bill like this will have a very hard time passing. This was originally suppose to be only about unlocking cell phones for use with other carriers. Now conditions have been added that make the bill very arguable. It is asking for more than we can take. Companies like Apple and Sony will be very likely against this.

Every part of me wants this to pass, but this bill is sadly unlikely to. ... sadface

Maybe, but for all of us who laughed at a silly kid then resumed our normal lives after didn't consider the aftermath that ensued in his life.

By doing nothing, we may have indirectly contributed to the bullying Raza experienced at school.

I'm not saying watching videos == cyberbullying, but the truth of the matter is, this kid had to change schools because of that video. What would happen if I or you took two seconds out of our life to write a simple comment on the video saying something like, "yo that's hilarious. keep on keeping."

He may have gotten a little mental peace that all of us who watched from miles away were simply laughing at his antics, and not him as a person. Instead, we laughed from afar and remained silent, leaving Raza by himself to face the onslaught of those who decided to be maliciously vocal.
They're microcosms of the societies they're meant to prepare us for.

And we have plenty of bullying in the adult world.
So now the problem has been reduced to any one of n biometric data, that you can NEVER change? That seems lovely.
New Prenda Argument: Judge Wright's Order Is Irrelevant Because of Gay Marriage
My understanding (from a previous HN discussion about javascript) is that since the output from a "just-in-time compiler" is actually machine code generated on the fly, it includes direct references to memory locations that are only valid for the lifetime of the process. So the output of a JIT is simply not in a format that can be saved and reloaded later.
