Just strike them fucken dead, God. Tired of this sheet.

God says...

2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all
things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their
salvation perfect through sufferings.

2:11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all
of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 2:12
Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the
church will I sing praise unto thee.

2:13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and
the children which God hath given me.

2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood,
he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he
might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their
lifetime subject to bondage.

2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took
on him the seed of Abraham.
Random details you may of missed:

"The integrated card reader keeps information secure from swipe to payment."

That means integrated encryption in to the stand. There are probably some other details. How to mount the thing to the table, how to connect devices.

Edit: disclaimer, former square here. Details matter.

The word "devalue" comes up a lot in conversations about this sort of thing, but I'm not sure exactly how that works. If half the student body at GT died before graduating, would your degree be worth twice as much?
Too many of either is unlikely to generate anything interesting, stick to very small numbers.
It's very slow and they wait until its "in the bank". So the whole business model of Dwolla is low risk.
That could be due to other reasons, I prefer email correspondence over phone calls as it allows me to carefully think about my reply and documents it 'for free', and in the case of legal matters I can see this as being useful.

But at this point this is all pure speculation.
I like this development. I went to GT for both bachelors and Masters but with BME and ECE, respectively. However, I am doing web development at a startup. I wonder how this OMS course would impact me and others in similar situations.
really?? took me a while to adjust, but now i really like that i can look up and/or browse other emails while composing.
The EDIT here contains a damn fine idea. I would say they are willfully ignorant, but then why crack down on this Brendan? Maybe a complaint was lodged which brought him to their attention?
Chamath: Skills Matter, Degrees Don't
fundamental tenet
When you put a link into any MS service, MS proxies it, just like google proxies your clicks on a search link.

If you dont want MS having access to things you access, dont use their stuff.

Personally, I think its anti-web and anti-user to do this, as URL rewriting for the purposes of tracking and storing and analyzing is intrusive and an abuse of the anchor tag that was never intended.
This is a great development. I'm proud of my alma mater for doing this, and I think Georgia Tech is just the right institution to pull it off (in partnership with Udacity, of course).
It may be selfish, but it's completely understandable. I don't know if Larry is facing the prospect of losing his voice entirely, but even if he isn't having a disease like this is quite upsetting and frightening. I think anyone in his position would use their resources to try and find a cure or at least a way of halting the progress of the disease.
Yes, and almost all Minneapolis banks will refuse to do business with the hawalas, and hawalas have to move money, and they are also subject to US regulations.

I'm not making up issues, you know. Inability to move money to Somalia is a real thing. Here's one link: http://www.startribune.com/local/minneapolis/136396028.html
For instance when two nations go to war it doesn't really matter who wins or loses because, they're both creating debt (the one who loses the war usually ends up with the most debt) in order to fund their conflicts.

Likewise, another example is a bookmaker - those who are in conflict are the punters who are betting on an outcome (one of them wins & one of them loses) - however, to the bookmaker it is trivial who wins or loses because they always make money on that outcome. It's the same with the banks etc.
Bullet Points From Seth Godin For Doing Design That’s Important, Not Pretty
just to add what the other commenters in thread said. Open pdroid is now the project you want to look at. Its open source but needs to be compile with the rom. Depending on your phone or if you know how to build a rom then its great if you want to fake permission data. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/openpdroid-brings-an-o...

The other alternative mentioned is lbe. The issue with lbe is that its a Chinese app thats translated to english and only distributed through xda found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422479 . Now everything I've read and what others have looked into is that nothing malicious is occurring but of course YMMV. I've used it and I have very rarely found any issues blocking all permissions.

Also another good app is droidwall to enable data for apps based on wifi or mobile.
While I do agree with you - i think it's fair to say that Etsy have opted to focus more on the crafts side of goods (at least that's the impression their site gave me). While it is a great pity for the electronics goods that get rejected, it is still Etsy's business and their choice. Thankfully there is other options for the goods that Etsy choose not to adopt.

It's not fair to do it to your visitors, though; the cost to them in increased power consumption is going to be significantly more than the value of the bitcoins you mine (virtually none)
No, I think he knows exactly what he's talking about, and just considers copyright and patent trolling to be two sides of the same coin.
"Is that really a broken system or just a few bad apples?"

The state was built to serve the interest of the general public and yet today does not produce the necessary signals to indicate it is functioning correctly to that purpose. We are experiencing asymmetric information:

* the state holds whatever privileged data it wishes for the length of time and purpose that it finds appropriate within the law and determines whether to reveal or withhold this data at present or some future date

* the state also determines the correct interpretation of the laws in court orders, position papers and executive orders -- and these orders can also be considered privileged data, so the same principle applies about whether to reveal or withhold this data from the public

* any indiscretions in the use of that privileged data by the state may or may or may not be detected by the state itself and, if detected and as it pertains to privileged information that may or may not be known to be held by the general public, the news of this detection and optional remediation may or may not be later revealed to the general public

* any successes by the state cannot be audited outside of the state itself, so the general public is reduced to the hope that the results were satisfactory and correct

Yes, I would argue that the current system is broken.

Awesome! I've been working on something similar:

I think this is an interesting concept and it will be cool to see how this space evolves!
I take it this degree will be accredited by the same body that administers Georgia Tech. Has anyone heard otherwise?
I don't like Lisp either.
I hope he gets better.

I also wonder what happened to selfless, anonymous donations. His affliction doesn't seem (medically or statistically) like something that would require rallying people to the cause, raising awareness, etc. There are conditions that matter, that affect millions (incl. children), that don't let people live normal lives (not kitesurfing - very basic everyday stuff).

The Target flu shot promo didn't seem genuine, neither does this.
I thought he was too.

But remember, the best way to avoid dealing with this dogma in the workforce is to use some other language. It's a win/win... not only do you not have to deal with silly PHP shame, but you ALSO don't have to deal with PHP, which isn't as bad as the haters say, but is still pretty bad!
Agreed with rsanders. A bachelors carries a lot of other risks/requirements. It's definitely possible (and already available), but I think a masters in CS is perfect.

A masters requires a lot less courses, and you don't have to worry about general education requirements, which often involve a routine amount of writing and open-ended discussion (as opposed to a Q&A basis you'd likely find in STEM classes), or, for example, science courses that may require labs.
Isn't this an example of the gambler's fallacy, that previous outcomes impact future outcomes?

No, it's the same way that they go after any online business. Take away their domain, and the business is dead. Within days, any hope of the domain returning to life is gone and people are onto the next site. Even if the business ultimately wins the case and gets the domain back, the government will have long since achieved its goal of destroying the business. A domain seizure is equivalent to a death sentence for an internet company.
It's not so surprising. This could also be summarized as "God created the integers."

But really the process is reversed: given arithmetic, what is the smallest axiom set to give us the power to prove our theorems.

It's like, given all code, what is the smallest language we can use to express it. Which is sequences of 0s and 1s.
I don't know if this article made it to the front of hn, but I read it a few days ago and found it very appropriate -- http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/188197/the_metrics_are...

Many companies don't get to the point of extreme performance, but when they do suddenly new problems arise. Optimizing the hell out of one metric or multiple metrics absolutely leads to erosion in other metrics.

The metrics that involve longevity tend to get ignored, especially in a competitive market that requires companies to spend to acquire users (they also are ignored when management is pushing on short term numbers.) If they are far enough out, your company crashes. This is a problem every business faces. Warren Buffet even has a few things to say about certain industries where, over the lifetime of a business they don't turn a profit. Short term metrics can be very dangerous.

In the relationship to what you mentioned with e-mail, the company is has an incentive, by the current spam filtering "cartel" (that is a huge stretch of words, but basically Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft) to send as much email as possible! The 100 emails in the inbox of a user that doesn't market them as spam pushes that marked as spam rate down. There is certainly a threshold involved in sending email users aren't looking at at all, but what those numbers are is a hazy. The spam complaint rate, everyone in email knows.

Sending tons of unnecessary, non-personalized, irrelevant email is a branding problem.
Am I the only one who noticed, that the other, more realistic number 20 minutes is omitted in the NYT article. See "the established ACSM guidelines for high-intensity exercise of at least 20 minutes is recommended" in the original article.
I don't think he has done anything wrong, maybe I shouldn't have said "I'm siding" with Etsy; I just can see their point of view. It doesn't really justify the less-than-friendly communication and shutting down his sales without notice.

He should definitely set up sales in multiple sites like Tindie or Gumroad.
So does that mean it's PCI compliant?

It usually ranks top 10 in CS for undergrad. It might be in top 5 for graduate school.

The robotics lab at GT's College of Computing is insane.
I've had exactly your experience (expandrive, ST2, SFTP plugin) on OSX and I've also arrived at the same solution. Works well enough, but as you said, ST2's lack of auto refreshing of directories is a bit troublesome. Furthermore I've had situations where Expandrive wouldn't refresh either and I had to unmount/mount again - improvements in that regard is what I'd be looking for most in an update.
Didn't know that but last year one of the morning NPR hosts had to take a vacation for the duration of the election because her husband was running a big part of one of the campaigns. It's like a king's court - everyone fawning over the power.
I'm surprised they started with a masters, but I guess it makes sense. They are only targeting people who've already gone through an accredited degree program. Makes the program more likely to be taken seriously.

Udacity already issues credit for a fewer lower level classes via SJSU. I wonder how soon the gap will be closed and a whole online degree available.
The fact that they qualify it as an "online master of science" makes it significantly less attractive. It implies they're not willing to put their name & reputation behind its equivalency (in terms of rigor & qualifications of outgoing students) to an offline degree.
Agreed, revolutionary. In a way, it costing $7000 (rather than being free or nearly free) goes further in lending it credibility. I do wonder though that still for those who would have trouble affording even that, would FAFSA provide aid/loans? And moreover, is an undergrad degree a pre-requisite? I wonder if college dropouts can enroll in this program.
I didn't but I know of someone who went through one of those programs and did land a job (but its because its structured that way i.e. to help these new devs find entry level work). The pay obviously reflected entry level and in the specific case of the dev I know, he still struggles a lot on the job but they hired him fully understanding that he needs guidance and thus proceeds accordingly. He gets stuck a lot at work and obviously isn't a self proficient programmer at this point but can ultimately understand and get stuff done (with help).

Every program will be different but I suspect a lot of the results will be the same given how fast the time frame is for them to go from non-programmer to programmer.
I wish you luck but just in case it doesn't go through, come back home. Make it better :-)
The whole point of white collar crime is that it is difficult to distinguish from negligence. And when the standard for prosecution essentially requires that the defense acts like a comic book villain --or at least plainly writes down their intent, rather than masking it-- it really isn't a surprise that the courts are unable to convict over criminal charges. That other people thought (rightfully) that Mexico was a high risk area, while HSBC classified it under their lowest risk tier, smacks of intentional "negligence." So they pay a civil fine --that wasn't nearly big enough-- and the take-home message stays the same: just play dumb if you're ever caught and all will be fine.

My issue is, FF climbs up to 2.5GB of memory usage, then it dies. 100% repro.

My only add-ons are AB+, Reddit Enhancement Suite, and No Redirect. I am 99% sure this was happening before Noredirect, but I'll try disabling that as well. (Super useful though, wow!)

(GreaseMonkey is also installed, but I don't have any scripts loaded in it, disabling it anyway)

Of course if you run into the 32bit memory limit, I don't know if there is much FF can do about it! Right now I am at ~1,5800MB.

Actually this is sort of amusing, the memory usage counts up to 1590, then drops down to 1570, then counts up to 1591, drops to 1571, counts to 1592, drops to 1572, I am watching some stupid web app leak memory in real time.

(Maxed out at 1588 when I started typing, now maxing out at 1606, heh)

All of this is as reported in Windows Task Manager so numbers are wildly inaccurate I assume, still funny. (About:memory is showing the same thing happening!)

Ah the wonders of crappy JS programmers.

Edit: Haven't changed any websites or loaded any new tabs, now it is cycling up to 1630MB. :P
I've often had this thought. But I keep coming back to this idea: HTML and CSS are actually a really nice way to describe an interface, for a few reasons:

1. Reusable styles plus case-by-case overrides--very important in a world where graphic design is so central to what we do. To me, CSS beats your typical GUI builder any day.

2. Flow. HTML/CSS have a sophisticated model for automatically flowing text and sizing elements to fit. The content below gets pushed down by the content above, automatically and as much as necessary. Other GUI models have similar things, but I prefer the web's take on it.

3. URLs. These are a beautiful concept. A string that uniquely identifies a certain resource, be that resource a document, a certain screen in an interactive interface, a record, whatever.

Now, you might say you could build all these things into your ideal client. But if you did, what would you have? Seems to me you'd have a web browser.

I do agree with your argument about the network protocols, though. We started with TCP, then we put HTTP on top of it to transfer documents. Then we started sending lots of HTTP requests back and forth for interactivity, and even having the client poll the server as a hack for pushing. Like you said, it started to look like TCP on top of HTTP on top of TCP.

But now we have websockets, which in my opinion is a pretty lean and mean protocol on top of TCP. I like to think of it as regular TCP with a few conveniences like negotiation. Granted, it is not in use everywhere, and I still use the TCP-on-top-of-HTTP-on-top-of-TCP approach for most of my stuff, mostly out of technical conservatism. But I think it'll get there.

As to the statelessness of regular HTTP, it still has its place. Sometimes stateless connections can be very beneficial. Imagine a site like Wikipedia. You wouldn't want everyone who's currently reading a page to have an open socket. With HTTP, you open the socket, you transfer the document, and you close the socket. Done. It's unfortunate that we have to open a new socket for every image, CSS file, etc., but I also expect that situation to improve over time.
+1 This mirrors my thoughts exactly.
I think HN uses a weighted Karma system for voting but I don't know for sure. It would make sense to give certain people more weight than others. At least in a primitive way with something like "new user" VS. "trusted user".

I'm feeling like the Windows 8.1 upgrade, available on the Windows Store, is just a way to force Windows 8 users to finally register for the Windows Store?

Speaking from personal experience only, I've never used the Windows Store, and I don't know anyone who has.

I'd love to see the numbers of Windows 8 installs vs Windows Store accounts.

It doesn't directly say that, though they do say it's a degree from an accredited institution, which is likely intended to mean the same thing.

I also received a similar email that made it past Gmail's spam detection. It's possible everything is a mistake, but it looks very suspicious so I wanted to post this somewhere.
I actually disagree. Masters degrees are much more about just getting the knowledge than are bachelors degrees, which are more about signaling. Lots of very highly-ranked institutions have masters programs that are relatively "easy to get into" (compared to their undergraduate programs). E.g. Columbia, CMU, Penn, LSE, etc.

HN hates "blogspam", so I'd be reluctant to write a 1-3 para intro and then cite a post like this, then submit it to HN. Although I guess if it added context, it wouldn't be horrible.
Unfortunately, at least for the moment an undergrad degree is a prerequisite. More generally, you have to be admitted to Georgia Tech as would any other graduate student.

I think there will be quite a few companies willing to pay $7000 in tuition assistance so their employees can get a MS.

For SSL, I hope there's more tools like Echo Mirage[1] or PaiMei[2] which could just hook SSL dynamic modules instead of MITM CA cert spoofing.

You can encrypt/decrypt TLS/SSL traffic by intercepting read/write calls for Schannel SSP/OpenSSL. I hope some project could support Android and iOS using similar methods.

Well, they also plan to offer certificates, I assume based on the same program, which they say will cost substantially less.

And the materials themselves will be free, like a regular Udacity class.

Sort of but not exactly. In this case a prior outcome is generally caused by the same factors that would influence the next outcome. There are also factors in baseball that make putting together a long streak harder the deeper you get into it.

That said, there are a gazillion other data points that are more granular and would provide more predictive value than simply the binary result of prior games (especially if those games took place 12+ months ago).
Tech's MSCS is pretty competitive in terms of admissions. I assume this will be somewhat broader in its acceptance?
What, this is just streak-based? Do streaks even exist in baseball?
As opposed to "sarcastic" hate speech, like a joke you might hear on Tosh.0. These people really do believe the things they say, and they are intent on spreading their vitriol as far as they can.

I'm not sure what point you were trying to make, though. Unless you really didn't understand what I meant?
My heels hurt if I walk I stand for more than 15 minutes continuously. It's not a severe pan so I do it anyway but I do not feel as comfortable as I used to do 1-2 years ago. I am 27. In Bangalore.

I've seen doctors here. All of them I don't have plantar fasciitis and so, but failed to pinpoint the reason. Doctors in Manipal kept me waiting for 6-7 months for the camera in their dynamic gait analysis machine to be fixed. More than an year and it's till not fixed. They anyway wanted to give me some silicon gel or other thing in my shoe to compensate for my high arch. Then I saw a physiotherapist and he said there's no problem I just need to do some stretching. Didn't help either.

So, I started seeing doctors on this "Standing vs Sitting" phenomenon on Internet which gained fame in last one year. They all said it's bull.
