From a non-expert, but avid observer, this looks like where things are going. I support Mozilla, but wonder if this is a Hail-Mary pass, with something like Dart and Web components being the 'engineered' approach.

At this stage, if asm.js is to succeed, they need to show how us mortals can use it. I.e. it needs to part of a complete toolchain, or an ide.

asm.js using qt (without hacks) would be amazing. How do I help (when I can hardly wrap my head around it)?
Are they required to report how much they paid for the domain? I'm interested in seeing numbers if anyone has them.
I do this by going to the water cooler for a refill. I use a small cup, so I go every hour or so. I usually take the slow way there, and think about my work on the way.

He is physically large. Very large.
Ah. so the XBO/PS4 has two more cores than my PC, and the chip itself has more in common with the Atom-clone E-450 chip than the A10. that's maybe a $120 upgrade in December if I want to match it core-for-core, and everything else is already on-par. Thanks for the agreement that there's nothing on the XBO that outclasses my little PC.

Can you point me towards any documentation on AMD using VLIW cores? I thought the VLIW movement died with Transmeta. Also, if you could provide me with documentation that AMD isn't using the same-gen GPU cores in the XBO/PS4 that they put in the A10 (Southern Islands - Radeon 7XXX), I'd really appreciate that as well.

I wouldn't dare boot windows on a 256MB PC. it wouldn't run. However, I could do the very same thing with a Linux PC (you know, a PS3) without much issue. In fact, while typing this, I used Chef to deploy a 256MB VM running Lubuntu 13.04. :)
Gun violence is caused by people with guns.

This is pretty actionable stuff. I really like the discussion around the trade-offs. So an interesting question is on my Zynq-7000 Zedboard what sort of Framebuffer would you design to be the "ideal" Wayland or Mir target?
Nice, go straight to calling names.

Here, let me restate your main theme:
Violence is caused first and foremost by the presence of two or more people. As Disney says, it's a "song as old as time".

Flask is a great book topic. So just an add on, I think it is always good to see what else is out on there on the topic as a starting point. And I just purchased this book that recently came out on Python for the Web and it speaks a lot about Flask as well. So it may be beneficial to look that over and see what that author already has out there, so you could expand or hit different points. Here's the link if you are interested, http://www.realpython.com/

I fail to see how it is newsworthy that the AG requested a warrant unless there's some kind of a trend that AG approved requests are disproportionately granted.
Although one can argue that llvm doesn't provide enough information to implement a great jit, all aot compilers are moving towards using it.

Actually, all serious Common Lisp implementations, for example, do incremental AOT compilation these days, and none of them is ever going to "move towards using LLVM". In the broader landscape of programming language implementations, as far as IR generality is concerned, LLVM is actually not significantly better than Java bytecode, and for many languages, trying to use it would probably generate more problems than actually using it would solve.
As expected, Google own http://g.co and twitter own http://t.co yet http://f.co is available.
Lying to everyone about Benghazi to maintain a narrative about terrorism prior to the election satisfies most people's definition of a scandal. And for some reason the people on the ground, even in the country, were told to stand down rather than attempt to help, something that no one can remember ever happening before.

Really now, this is the first Ambassador killed in the line of duty in 33 years (previously under Carter, of course) and you're sure there's nothing suspect about it?!??!!!

Your claims about the IRS abuse completely fail, since no "progressive" organizations suffered such abuse. One group even resubmitted their application, just changing the name to include the word Green and sound progressive, and it sailed through the process. And stonewalling != investigation, many groups were delayed for 3+ years, two election cycles, and are still left hanging. Compare to many many other examples, like Obama's Organizing for America -> Organizing for Action 501(c)(4).

You may have no problems with the heavy hand of the government suppressing those you politically oppose, but I assure you the other side does, and as I note elsewhere in this subthread this sort of thing has grave consequences.
One of the main reasons I used short URLs before was twitter, but they shorten* all of them for you now.

*Unless the original URL is less than 22 characters, in which case they conveniently _lengthen_ it for you. Which includes many of the unshortened links I post. I even recently set up my blog so posts have a ~9 character permalink. So twitter would award me with about a dozen bonus characters.
This is genius! I was just this week trying to think of some way to abuse slow-loading of images by generating the image as data comes in.

This is perfect.
Agree with the other reply. Just leave the job off your resume. No one will know.
What is a bad gene today can as easily be a reason for the survival of a species as it can be a reason for the opposite. We may or may not be able to predict the effect of a gene on a population. But the question is not that.

The question is whether a person with 'bad' genes should have children or not. My answer - it is none my business! Whether a person has good or bad genes, he/she should be free to procreate. It is their choice. Provide pre conceptional counselling and let them decide.

Right, functionality is just fine, it's the underlying data that's lacking. If one is going to include map data as part of "design", then it seems that there's nothing that "design" doesn't cover, at which point it becomes a meaningless word.
Fox News Host Urges Viewers To Physically Harm Obama Voters
I can think of two ways to interpret this.

Perhaps you believe that in web applications, all of the real computation happens on the server, and JavaScript is just for providing a nice UI. Some people probably want it to be this way, so they can do most of the work in their preferred language and runtime environment, and only deal with JS for the minimum of client-side work. But to take this approach is to leave unused the embarrassment of riches that we have in computing power on the client side, even in smartphones. If we make full use of that client-side computing power, we can reduce server resource consumption and, more important from a user's perspective, the need to incur the cost of network round trips.

Or maybe you think that in modern web applications, most of the complex logic belongs on the client side, and the server is mainly for receiving, storing, and sending data. In that case, perhaps you think the most important attribute of a server-side language is performance. But it's probably quite rare for the server side of a real web application to be a dumb data store. So what happens if you wrote some non-trivial logic in JS, then discover that it needs to run server-side?

I think we're still figuring out what belongs on the client and what belongs on the server. Therefore, I think using the same language on both sides might have some benefit. Admittedly, I've never written a real application with Node.js, and the thought of callback spaghetti everywhere doesn't exactly appeal to me. But I might accept that in return for maximal code re-use.

I don't understand why you think it isn't helpful. You are suggesting that as an alternative to soylent. It is a very poor alternative, and I explained why. I wouldn't add anything, I'd toss it away and start over. You don't try to build on a base of high calorie, low nutrient food like quinoa and olive oil. You had to max out everything in that recipe, which puts you at 2400 kcal, way over what most people need. And you are still seriously lacking in half a dozen essential nutrients, and are low on omega3s. Those percentages listed are based on someone who needs to consume 2000 kcal, so you want to aim for 100% at 2000 kcal.
The tax of new
Exactly the same discount they would offer you as a student I would have thought...
Why do you say it means that? It doesn't look to me as if it means any such thing. I think it means: if you got 4 hours of battery life before, you may be able to get 6 hours of battery life with Haswell processors. (But I bet this will be "up to 50% extra" and will be based on overoptimistic assumptions about the power consumption of other components.)

I appreciate what Lanier is trying to communicate here, but I think he's confusing the issue by trying to tie "free information" into it instead of focusing on what the real concern should be, automation. As programmers, we make it our job to automate people out of employment, replace doctors with Watsons, lawyers with search algorithms, and various clerks and cashiers with ATMs, automated checkouts, and online shopping.

There is nothing villainous in automation. Automation is of great benefit to civilization and makes our lives easier, but it's also moving us into a "post-scarcity" society. We live in an economy that is a mix of capitalism and socialism, with the capitalism driving growth and the socialism providing a safety net, but the capitalism side demands scarcity to thrive. If automation increases unemployment without generating new jobs, our economy and cultural norms will need to undergo a paradigm shift, or wealth and power will be concentrated to the detriment of the majority of people without it.

A much better book on these realities is "Race Against the Machine," which focuses just on the issue of automation without bringing these spurious claims that "free information" is the culprit:

Comments on reddit mentioned that the bridge was condemned in 1992, and repeatedly since then, but no one bothered to fix it. I thought we had a big goverment stimulus package for shovel-ready projects over the past few years...
That were then used to kill a couple of Americans and a few hundred Mexicans. Odd that it was only a case of the former that shut down the program....

Much of “startup” is denial
Lanier sounds like the anti-Kurzweil. Like others, I find his vision of the future too pessimistic and his proposed solution not workable.

He rightly raises concerns about how our roles/jobs/lives will change in the future.

But, I am much more bullish with developments like decentralized currencies, micro loans and other new banking models, advances in clean energy technology, and possibly even remote space colonies in the not too far distant future.

In this future, I imagine more opportunities for individuals.

But he doesn't seem to have an appreciation that these trends aren't new or any idea for how to solve it.

We've faced these problems before. Cars made horses obsolete and left many (horse) drivers, stablehands, and others without jobs. Mechanization got rid of most jobs in agriculture. Just because something eliminates jobs doesn't mean it's a bad thing (in fact, because we no longer need to spend all day in the fields, we can do things like sit in offices and develop new innovations) but if you listen to Jaron Lanier, that's what you'd think.
There's a damning inspector general report on this, dating back to 2011:

http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201011/cmselect/c...

Here's a key conclusion, along the themes of "this is what happens when the people with the money don't really understand what the developers are doing":

The BBC transferred too much financial risk to the contractor, Siemens, given
the level of technological innovation involved. This approach meant that that
BBC did not have a good enough understanding of the contractor’s design and
development work, and was unable to intervene effectively even when it knew
delivery was at risk. This resulted in a two year delay in securing the technology
for the Programme. We welcome the BBC’s commitment to consider more carefully
the appropriate degree of risk transfer for future contracts. It should have a close
understanding of the design and development approach being taken by a contractor
and should retain the ability to intervene without waiting for non-delivery or
contract termination.
I too had idly been thinking about this while viewing a few Vine videos that were all using it seemed h264 on iOS.

His moniker says it all... :) hehe
This is a much better characterization of Jaron's position AFAICT. His notions on middle class are deeply rooted in an economic theory of wealth distribution which is what we have largely today. However it is clear that technology, and information products in particular, are changing the wealth distribution significantly. Combined with observations that corporations in tech share their wealth more widely and you get a community which is distinctly biased toward the 'wealthy' end of the curve with a smaller middle class. Jaron is concerned how that plays out economically.
Perhaps there are legitimate other uses of the phrase, but many people have heard it used in that context, and it's the primary one I associate it with.

I first heard the expression in the PUA community. Guys who are too shy to talk to women, and who struggle to get dates, are taught "routines" and "openers" and other "canned" conversational gambits to use, with the idea being that you can go out, "open" women using some stock opener, and have a good conversation (even if it doesn't ultimately lead anywhere). Over time, your confidence improves because you realize that there isn't actually any reason to be scared to talking to women, and you graduate from needing the "canned" material to just being your natural self. "Received wisdom" says that confidence is very important to women as a criteria that they judge men on, so you "fake" the confidence until you "make it" and have the confidence for real.
His username is "thelegit". What more do you need?!

Seriously though. I highly doubt that figure is correct.

>As a reporter, you're allowed to ask a question. You have no right to information a source is legally required to withhold. That said, if they violate that requirement, it's not your fault. Obtaining the private emails of journalists is crossing a line. It makes it impossible for a journalist to guarantee the safety of their sources.

This statement seems self-contradictory. If a person leaking classified information does not warrant protection, then it is in fact legitimate to subpoena the private emails of a journalist who is known to be in contact with said person. They are using their ability to access private information under extraordinary circumstances to find someone who is breaking the law. This seems perfectly legitimate. The fact that the information belongs to a journalist doesn't necessitate extra levels of protection against wiretapping warrants--if whatever information was sensitive enough to justify a wiretap on an arbitrary (uninvolved) person, that person being a journalist shouldn't matter. The journalist isn't being targeted, so him being a journalist is irrelevant.
WTF is wrong with you? It used to be the case that you'd only post your rants about Google in threads that were at least tangentially related to working there. But as of late you've started spamming random Google stories with these toplevel comments that have nothing to do with the article or the discussion. Do you really not see that this is not acceptable behavior?
Wow! Kudos for that move. There should be a place for discussing and reviewing click-dummies and mockups somewhere on the web, if there isn't already such a thing.
I would think that road integrity would be on the long list of things covered in any licensing process (you and I can think of it in a few moments, ergo). I would also guess it is important for the system to be able to estimate an appropriate speed even when external data is not available.

For the deer, I would expect the programmed response to be to brake as much as possible given traffic. Hitting a deer is unlikely to result in anything but damage to the vehicle. Swerving is less predictable than that.

I don't understand this line of thinking, particularly from the Hacker News crowd.

Nobody seems to care if taxi drivers lose out from services like Lyft and Uber. It's called "disruption" and is apparently good for the economy.

A dinosaur like GM loses market share to imports and the same crowd thinks gov't subsidies are required to keep an inefficient industry alive.

IANA blocked registration of most of them under gTLDs (.COM, .NET, etc.) in 1993, on the thought they may be useful to support extensibility of the DNS down the track. Country-code operators have typically followed that lead as good practice.

As they were never really used for that purpose, slowly but surely they have been released into circulation. The applications by registry operators to lift the one- and two-letter domain restrictions are at http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registries/rsep
I wish that was still true, it was when I was living in the area 1991-2004. But to me at least they've abandoned that position; that they still employ Ezra Klein after his JournoList was exposed tells you all you need to know. Heck, he and Josh Marshall were just observed going into the White House for a private meeting and now they're saying the same things.
Thanks. I guess I'll use my personal blog to share for now, keeping the startup's blog to share more about why we're doing what we're doing and topics around meeting new interesting people, shaping serendipity.
lol - not gonna lie I may or may not be making fun of the question here... there's no way Amazon would ever release that kind of information.
I really hope this is a 11/10 troll that's just having a good time rustling jimmies. Because this sounds like a nightmare.
Well, the other question is whether it will be legal to manufacture/sell printers which are capable of printing illegal things. If the printers are capable of self-replicating it will be implausible to enforce that sort of regulation.

It is presumably already illegal to 3-D print several types of 3-D things, where such things themselves are illegal or where there is some form of copyright, trademark or patent infringement.
The reason that the AG has to sign off on the request, as opposed to the usual process where a line prosecutor a few years out of law school does so on his own initiative, is because of the acknowledged conflicts of values inherent in investigating journalists for doing their jobs.

So even the DOJ acknowledges it's something of a big deal, they just argue it was justified in this instance.
If it were just about my political preferences, I'd be thrilled that conservatives can't shut up about Benghazi. It didn't play during the last election, it won't play during the next one, and makes Republicans look like frothing at the mouth idiots.

But I'm actually concerned as an American about real issues, even real criticisms of Obama that get no attention while this idiocy goes on.

I thought informed people knew by now that the public narrative regarding fast and furious was completely fabricated?
