It's not my particular sense of justice, it's how our justice system is structured and how it always has been. There is a strong presumption that individuals will cooperate with police to help investigate crimes. That's why the 5th amendment protection against self-incrimination even exists--it's an exception to our general practice that people can be compelled to testify about crimes. As a general rule, our society does not consider it acceptable to "opt out" of participating in a criminal investigation, especially in a case like this one where the person being asked to help is a suspect by virtue of the circumstances.
O2, while it is prepaid, has monthly pricing structure. It is not quite standard pay&go sim (they have the exact pricing structure in my home country. It is good plan, but not for visitors).

Anyway, thank you.
I thought there were some very good tidbits in this post.

I.e. if you are doing a deal, don't be surprised if only the immediate terms are honored. Don't bank on future promises.

I like the example of Dave getting the "Architect" title as a result of a deal - but afterwards the meaning of the title was ignored. Nice bait and switch! Something to look out for in a deal, I would have fallen for that.

Another example I hear about is: museum acquires a bequest of an art collection, but with some stipulation about how it is to be treated, kept intact, etc. Once the deal is done, the museum does what it likes. Now the museum may be squandering its capital in its reputation among potential patrons, but that's a calculation they make.
I believe #3 is what Netflix does.
Each & every website on cloud is vulnerable against 0 day vulnerability which keeps popping on and on ....these days cloud security is being ignored at such a level where 0 day threats are being sold in gray market at much higher pricing, then one will make from some bounty programs, we all know how zendesk got compromised :-(

as per me there should be some beginning to make atleast world's top 10,000 site hack proof ? what you guys have to say here...
I think Aphyr's series was a little too meaty for the general HN audience (of today).

Talking about things like the FLP impossibility result, CAP theorem and specifying protocols with TLA+ may be a bit over the heads of many HN readers - clearly, people would rather read stories about the latest funding round, acquisition or frontend UI framework than a substantive article on distributed systems.

Do people really use this ? It's not a facebook feature anymore, it's oodle, and it's some kind of weird app. It's a fail.

Anyways facebook is really an ass, it did not let me login because I tried to from a public wifi, even by resetting my password with my email, I had to try it on an old account. They are so many phishing on facebook it's not even funny.

I'm sure zuckerberg is laughing his ass off when he's surrounded by all the salesmen type who wants to do this and that with facebook. I wish he could just quit facebook asap and try to make new projects. Or maybe he's totally fine with it, but I doubt he's thinking the site really evolved at all in terms of features.

All that facebook was is a privacy outrage, bad hopes and huge datacenters, and a lost opportunity to work with google. And also "mom! don't comment on my wall!". And classmates bullying each other. And happy marketers analysing huge blobs of data.
Looks quite nice. Does this use voxel.js?
But as I alluded to, at that point, when you're bored, start something new with the new capital and connections you have.
Its a craftsmanship thing. Notice its her life savings, not just some random dollar amount however large or small.

I have an uncle who could swing a 1/4 mil loss and laugh. They intentionally chose this woman because she intentionally in gross ignorance decided to blow away her lifes work.

Its like an artist spending his entire life on an amazing sculpture, decades of toil and sweat, then blindly, idiotically, "eh, I donno, I'll just use this sledgehammer to trim the last little bit" and the whole life's work is gone, crumbled into ruin. Do we need sledgehammer control? More education? Can we blame the rich? How about more govt regulation? Nah, just fewer idiots with sledgehammers. Maybe the story will scare dumb people away from one dumb activity... probably into another dumb activity.

Which brings up the next issue, the other part is fools will always find a way to be fools. This quote says it all "He kept asking me what was going through my head when I bought the shares" That was her life's crowning achievement. Not being awarded a doctorate, not a Nobel prize, just an empty head and its all someone elses fault... That money was going to be lost one way or another, in real estate, casino, or other scams. Most scams have really sleazy operators, at least the stock market scam is somewhat less sleazy than some bookies and some used home salespeople and the like. Not much less sleazy, but a little.

You always have a boss. Before David Karp was responsible to his investors, now he's responsible to Mayer and the Yahoo shareholders. It's not that different other than the fact that Yahoo (at least for now) has enough money to let them live on.
Inconsistent performance, significantly slower than MySQL on a real box, and failure of the ridiculously expensive automatic failover were the reasons I dumped RDS. I ate a big loss after reserving instances, but seeing the server fall off the planet, and no spare ever take over for it despite paying for MultiAZ, what other response would have been reasonable?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-serving_bias

This is getting OT, but this paragraph in the article was particularly interesting:

> Computers have become a pinnacle part of everyday life, and research has shown that individuals may subconsciously treat interactions with computers as they would treat a social situation.[26] This finding combined with what is known about the self-serving bias in interpersonal relations indicates that consumers that use a computer to buy products will take personal credit for successful purchases but blame the computer for negative purchase experiences. It was also found, however, that consumers are more willing to attribute successful purchases to the computer and not ascribe blame to the computer for failed purchases if they have “intimate self-disclosure” with the computer, which Moon describes as revelation of personal information that makes the discloser feel vulnerable.[6] Another reason is that people are so used to bad functionality, counterintuitive features, bugs, and sudden crashes of most contemporary software applications that they tend not to complain about computer problems. Instead, they believe it is their personal responsibility to predict possible issues and to find solutions to computer problems. This unique phenomenon has been recently observed in several human-computer interaction investigations.
Don't hide the fact that you're using WordPress
I agree that writing them in HTML isn't a requirement, but saying that as being a sibling of XML and not being made for humans to write is not a good argument against writing it.

Btw, Gaffa sounds like a nice idea, definitely interested on how it plays out in the future.
The title at r/programming, by contrast, is

Seems to me like there are plenty of free programs for writing papers that could have been used in the first place.

Unfortunately, that's rarely the case in my experience. But I'd be interested in any hard numbers you have here.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2261211 and responses has some hard data from about two years ago, but it's possible that jQuery has improved a lot in the meantime, of course.

So _if_ you're at a point where you care about the performance of your DOM code, jQuery can end up as a significant bottleneck. Most people are not at that point, most of the time. But most people _are_ at that point some of the time. The trick is recognizing when they are and what to do then.

We're working on solving these sorts of devops problems in Ubuntu with Juju: https://juju.ubuntu.com/

As an alternative approach would be that a Juju charm (script) would handle the initial deployment of a stock Ubuntu AMI and the customization in one step (or with puppet/chef) and then allow you to add new instances based on scale (though currently not automatic). When you have changes to your service you update the charm and just `juju upgrade-charm`.

This would consolidate step 1, 5, and the "ongoing" into one tool and you'd get a cloud-agnostic deployment (openstack cloud or bare-metal).
EU Commission Sued For Refusing To Reveal Trade Agreement Documents
The great contradiction being that if "Yahoo management" are monetizing Tumblr, it's hardly independent in a strict sense. I know where you're coming from, but it was only last year David admitted he was an idiot to say ads made him sick - he didn't push them very hard and I think that's going to be a tough balance. Oh and Tumblr claimed their roadmap isn't changing, which if true means Yahoo's board's roadmap is irrelevant. It'll be interesting to see how this one plays out.
It got to the point that my kids were begging me to cancel cable TV and use the proceeds to buy an additional computer so they'd have less sharing contention for the computer that did Youtube and Minecraft.

So I did.
Wurtzel stepped down as CEO in 1986. He was still on the board after that, but it was his successors that made the decisions that brought Circuit City down. (As a board member you could argue that he was accountable, but things like Divx and the commission/salary disaster were not his decision.)
Slightly off-topic, but what exactly is the difference between Puppet and Chef? How do they differ?
I think a more rational takeaway would be responsible disclosure. That or avoiding these situation entirely by not meddling where you're not supposed to.

She has (had) money, therefore is entitled to continued success. Doesn't the government bail out many other failing business models? The cognitive dissonance is its not supposed to be gambling, she's supposed to be entitled to always win that casino. She had a quarter mil in cash, that makes her pretty rich by most standards, rich people are always supposed to get richer without thinking. Thinking is for the little people, you know.

That would be really cool. Having an external realtime feedback loop that you can act upon would be great, then fine-tune that for different situations. I like it!
> The problem in the USA is telling everyone you are looking for invstment. That breaks the rules of general solicitation, which the SEC was supposed to have updated last year but has been dragging its feet. So startups can only really talk to accredited investors, and can't talk to their users and tell them they're going to pay dividends or something.

Startups can talk directly to potential investors, both non-accredited and accredited investors (how many non-accredited investors can invest in them depends on which of the exemptions from registration requirements they are taking advantage of), all current registration exemptions however, prohibit general solicitation and advertising and solicitation except that certain state-law conditions can allow general solicitation and advertising for Rule 504 "seed capital" fundraising.

The update the SEC must make under the JOBS Act for general solicitation would remove the general solicitation restriction for offerings that are restricted to accredited investors where the offering firm takes certain steps to verify that any investors qualify as accredited investors. There's also a crowdfunding option that requires an SEC-registered intermediary (and has overall limits similar to the existing seed-capital option in Rule 504.)

Its not clear to me that either is necessary (or even helpful) to a company that wishes to conduct direct solicitation directed to purchasers of the company's existing offerings who are not necessarily qualified as accredited investors.
I recommend dreadlock:

It will release the lock when the client dies (disclaimer: I wrote it).

Or you can go whole hog and use zookeeper + ephemeral nodes. More robust but quite a bit more complex.

AHK does have string functions. Quick example: http://pastebin.com/09kjNSvP

(pads number with 0s at start so that it is 2 digits)

As for checking if the PIN was accepted, it'd maybe work to check the window title or something. Chances are it will change once the software is registered. Then you can easily log the current PIN and break the loop.

Not that I support piracy, just thinking of ways to clean up that code a bit.
There are many healthy options in my list of snacks, but they are all extremely calorie dense and not satiating. For example, a small bowl worth (100g) of almonds is almost 600 calories, which is 1/3rd of my daily calorie allotment to lose weight! The same amount in carrots is around 40 calories, and makes me feel more full in some ways than the nuts because of the fiber.

The palm sized Fage yogurts packages are almost 300 calories, and wouldn't fill me up. The Fage yogurts have no real additives to them. 300 calories of carrots is a stomach straining 730g. The oatmeal bars are 150 calories each and might as well be air. 1 M&M is 9 calories alone! 5 M&Ms exceed my small bowl of carrots! I can go on and on about how insidious the snacks are at my work.

Thank you! :) If I had started developing Skycraft in 2013, it might have been voxel.js, but it didn't exist at all a year ago. I could have converted to voxel.js, but chose not to, as I have some things voxel.js doesn't yet (lighting, ambient occlusion), and the whole floaty islands thing allows for some special optimizations that would be hard to generalize into voxel.js. So it's just "normal" Three.js., but I really like the voxel.js project!

It's not simple, AMIs are a pretty bad idea and not something you should rely on due to the statefulness and vendor lock-in unless you can reproduce it in disparate deployment environments from scripts.

To add to that, if Google didn't think BlogThis! would be valuable, why would they build it? And to whatever extent it achieved its goals (i.e. was actually used), it would give Blogger an advantage. That it actually failed is hardly a defense of Google's intentions.
This is an odd and unintentionally revealing rant. Does anyone remember the "Blog this!" button? Any material effect on anything? And who was embarrassed about what?
I have no problem with retail investors buying stock because they believe in the company and have the patience to hold on to it. That can be a very good, low on stress investment.

But trying to outsmart people living in Bloomberg terminals at their own game, buying on IPO and trying to dump it the same day? Her loss is no ones fault but hers.

What's the point of discussing how at fault a poor old retired widow is. Why don't we discuss of how deliberately vague the last minute update to S-1 was! (I was a banker who has written a few S-1s and I can imagine what kind of discussions precipitated when Mr. Ebersman dropped the 'bomb' during the roadshow - if only those discussions could be recorded)
Facebook and its bankers broke NO law. But IPO investing doesn't have to be this big of a crap shoot for retail investors. The prospectus should put anyone, who cares to read and parse it, at equal footing with the institutional investors. That's where the law is lacking a bit. The prospectus can not include any forward projections and institutional investors get to see all of those BEFORE the IPO (of-course making them available will bring their own sets of problems). I wish you guys discussed that part here as well. Being non-bankers and non-lawyers (for the most part), you can come up with better solution, maybe?

>> On the acquisition, they said they wouldn't do anything to tilt the table in favor of Blogger.

I believe they meant that Blogger blogs would not be given an advantage in the SE algo. Eg. given top search results just because of the blogging platform.

I think you took it wrong. Why would they buy Blogger and promise to never promote it? Doesn't make sense.
What I want is something debian based with Upstart, gnome3, and replacement window manager and panel/launcher, fitting on a single CD or DVD (around a gig).

Ubuntu with GNOME3 installed and running LXDE and Launchy comes close, except LXDE defaults to using PCManFM instead of nautilus, Leafpad instead of gEdit, LXTerminal instead of Gnome Terminal, etc. Where this is most obnoxious is the replacing of gnome preferences with their own preference tool.

If I was going to start a major project, my approach would probably be to take gnome3, replace gnomeshell with openbox and try to port gnome2 panel to gnome3.
Yahoo sold delicious 2 years ago:

Uh, no, it isn't. A lifetime artist would be familiar with his tools and wouldn't make such a stupid mistake. The point is she wasn't an investment banker and didn't have the connections to get advanced information that could have protected her. I don't disagree with your other points, but this analogy is wrong.
There seems to be no "Contact Us" link but if the creators of the site read this, there is no such language as "Hindu". I think you mean "Hindi".
I think there are tree reasons:

- Tumblr is easier for photoblogging

- Tumblr has a social network

- Tumblr somehow encouraged (or at least did not care) about NSFW

Venture capitalists these days go on social proof largely because of their career incentives. You don't "make it" as a VC unless you get into a black albatross deal early, and there's one of those per decade. That's why all the horrible note-sharing and co-funding goes on. All the VC resources are chasing the career needs of the agents, not maximizing return on investment (which is impossible to predict anyway).

Someone is going to win big by working with the mid-risk/mid-growth "lifestyle" businesses (that currently make most of their money consulting) but it's not going to happen in VC-istan, nor will it be in Silicon Valley or New York. Boston has a shot; I'd also say Austin, Seattle and Chicago are in the running.
