it's a balance. By preventing people to point guns and make demands (to a certain extent), you (for example) allow for more freedom to walk around at night without a fear of getting mugged.

When I say you cannot remove the ability of people to do it, I mean only that - you cannot remove the ability. And that is what all the gun-grabbing hoopla is about - physically removing the ability to do so by restricting access to guns. That, I contend, is impossible and absolutely infringes on individual rights.

The threat of retaliation, either by the victim immediately or after-the-fact by the government, is of course effective at prevention. The former is more effective, as evidenced by crime rates in areas where the government does not infringe on the right to self-defense.

Everything is a tradeoff, saying 'tramples other's rights' is misleading because it doesn't indicate which rights. Some rights are more valued than others to people (I'd gladly trade my right to kill myself for my right to free speech, if such a tradeoff existed).

It does not matter which rights - the government may not pick and choose which individual rights to value over others, it's their duty to protect them all equally - and for all people equally.

Of course it is your right to determine which rights you value the most, but it is not a power of the government. And it's a power of neither you or the government to determine which rights I value most.
While trekking The Peak (formerly Victoria Peak) in Hong Kong, I ran into a housekeeper walking the family dog. We saw a group of men getting into a very nice car. She mentioned to me that the license plate on the car allows them to travel into China without the usual checks.
"Conservative revolutionary ideals"? "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" -- this was political and philosophical dynamite in the XVIII century, when kings and gods still reigned supreme over the whole world (in fact, it still is quite an incendiary statement in many countries). What were the writers trying to "conserve", exactly?

"U.K.'s bloodless internal revolutions"? Cromwell's Civil War was many things, but bloodless is not one of them.

I may or may not agree with parent, but your statements are very peculiar indeed.

You're going to have to explain point 1 a little better because it reads like you're saying that mobile browsers don't have feature rich and standards compliant engines. And that mobile browsers differ from tablet browsers. Neither of which is true.

> Schmitz was armed when he was found

False. The bodyguard had a licensed shotgun, locked inside a safe. [1] Schmitz didn't own one, nor did he carry it. You could claim he knew someone who owned a gun, but that's about it.

> Also, he was arrested not only for copyright infringement, but also for racketeering and money laundering.

The NZ judge does not agree with your assessment. Maybe the judge is wrong, but: charges in the indictment relating to money laundering, racketeering and wire fraud are not separate criminal acts but dependent on the claim of criminal secondary copyright infringement[2].

The FBI claims that a website that offers users monetary rewards for uploading content, such as YouTube does, are conducting racketeering, money laundering and wire fraud if said uploads constitute copyright infringement. The judge did not rule if such legal claims are correct, but noted that any such claims depend on the copyright infringement and are not separate crimes to be considered.

Hypothetically speaking if the load-balancer is directing the traffic depending on the cookies then the environments can be very well separated behind the balancer.

My other thought on this was if they use any separate static web asset management or it's all one single environment-switching for ruby.

These days one could easily work with the stable REST server and all the web assets are switched between staging/beta/etc envs.

I've run through all the possibilities I could think of, regarding solutions to this mess, and the one that seems to come closest to reality is that we need to start pushing for the formation of a new party.

We already have plenty of alternative parties. Depending on your political leanings, they may or may not be appropriate to you, but there are groups like the Libertarian Party, Green Party, Constitution Party, Worker's World Party, Prohibition Party, Pirate Party, etc. Hell, there's even a "Modern Whig Party".[1]

But a big part of the problem is the mechanism by which we elect representatives to our government. Most of the US uses single member district, "first past the post" (FPTP) voting[2], which has a side-effect of tending to create a "two party system"[3].

There are various initiatives around to push for the use of other voting systems which are more favorable to 3rd parties, like Approval Voting[4], Condorcet methods[5], Range voting[6], etc., but guess who typically sets the standards for how elections are conducted? Yeah, officials (mostly Democrats and Republicans) elected under the existing system! Talk about a "chicken or the egg" problem. But this is one of the first things that needs to be attacked, if we want a less corrupt, and more responsive government.

SEEKING EXPERIENCED PHP DEVELOPER

=================================

We require a senior PHP developer to take over a project at short notice. The role will require you to work in our London office for around 4 weeks. The project is a complex web application holding financial information, and requires somebody with strong skills in OOP PHP5, Zend Framework 2, and MySQL. Experience with Symfony2 or Zend Framework 1 is a plus, and may form a suitable replacement if the candidate is willing to pick up ZF2 very quickly.

The role requires someone who can work quickly and methodically to a very high standard, and to tight deadlines. You will also need to enforce and comply with design patterns where necessary. It is an immediate start - handover will begin on Monday 17th. We offer a very competitive daily rate.

Key requirements:

-- Highly proficient in Zend Framework 2 (or willingness to pick it up very quickly). The emphasis is on version 2, not 1, because they're very different.

-- Familiar with design patterns (Service Locator, abstraction, composition, adapters; general GoF patterns)

-- OOP PHP5

-- Solid knowledge of MySQL (normalisation, foreign key constraints, indexes)

-- Strong Apache 2 and Linux skills

-- Working knowledge of Git and Composer (dependency management)

-- Good knowledge of AJAX, jQuery and JavaScript

-- Experience working in an Agile working environment

Enquiries: please contact jamie.hannaford@wai.co.uk
I think part of the problem (as in any new party) is defining the initial set of ideas to push for. What are you advocating this party's main concern is? Cleaning up the reputability of elected officials? That's a systemic problem that I'm not so sure a new party could fix.

I think the real action here is just getting one good, honest person to oust a current "low hanging fruit" politician. It needs to be more surgical, and convey a message that any one of you could be removed if the general population really wants to so get your shit together.
It's probable Nacchio was trading stock illegally. It's also not surprising the feds would use whatever leverage they could to obtain compliance. Cops recruit snitches all the time using similar tactics.

The difference is that snitches exist to inform police of criminal activity, not to spy (or enable spying) on their customers.
I often find myself having to spend more time than necessary to track down how to add these libraries to the dependencies of my leiningen projects.

I think this post would be a lot more useful if it included a link to clojars for each one of these libraries.
Perhaps not, but what is the harm? I'm sure there are people who are running 1.1 that found out sooner that 1.1.1 is out then they would have?

I think its worth keeping in mind there is always going to be a lot of stuff on HN that we personally we consider noise. For example, I could care less about 90% of the JS libraries that are posted; but I realize the there is a legitimate interest that that kind of things from the front-end segment of the HN populace. Consider that as for a backend/systems dev like myself, that discussing new Go versions, fixes, features or libraries might be highly interesting. In any case, ignoring a little bit a "noise" is pretty trivial and is just part of living is a diverse society.
I absolutely can't handle lyrics. I think you're right. Those of us who remember using gopher protocol probably grew up listening to radio hits even if we bought the tape or CD, so it was known and in its own way monotonous. But served the purpose of drowning out my brothers or roommate.

Now I don't own a TV and rarely listen to radio, and my tastes have dramasticly broadened, so I almost never listen to the same song more than a handful of times. I find lyrics are a show stopper. Even overly ambitious classical, jazz, electronica trips me up.

"Destruction of the Web" is a bit hyperbolic. I tried the SEO game for the interest of my clients, I've come to realize that it's a better long term strategy to simply focus on good, relevant content and let nature take it's course. When you're publishing content targeted at a certain audience, spammy visits to your website just increase your bandwidth cost without much benefit.

Granted there is inherent benefit in coming in on top of a google search, but time and time again, I've seen good content naturally dominate and stay on top. Occasionally some black had spammer comes out on top.

And truth of the matter is, I think it's google/<insert search engine here>'s job to figure out a way to discern good content from spam.

Google Dominated early on, b/c they were able to parse thru a lot of the garbage and find you what you were looking for.
There will always be spammers. And if this whole arms race thing is true, I think the spammers are likely to hit a ceiling before Google or another search engine is.

As a programmer, my initial instinct was to write code to counter what Google's algorithm would expect. Then, I thought, if I'm going to put in that much work, why the hell not build a better search engine myself?

I believe that if Google doesn't do a great job of getting the best possible results, not only do they face a treat from other giants like bing, but also from crafty programmers who may be writing black hat seo crap now and have the epiphany to try to build a better search engine (yes... I know... I think PG has a real point with the search engine thing)
Usability and aesthetics are both subjective. For some portion of the population, you will always be "doing it wrong."
On the PC you have easier time pirating so buying a game is proactive choice - I like the game that is why I buy it. So it give the user the feeling that he is in control of the situation and is not feeling ripped off.

They tacled the problem of piracy (the equivalent of second hand sales in consoles) not by going berserk control freaks but by just making steam giving so much value that even with the restricted licensing it just makes for better experience than the alternatives.

Also Valve are generally pushing gaming for the better. Every addition to steam was something that the community needed or wanted - big screen, linux ... the Greenlight is the only weird thing but there they just have the problem with tuning the execution and not the idea.

the current Microsoft don't get gaming. The first XBOX was brilliant. Cheap PC hardware with MS quality sdk. X360 was acceptable and the team in the beginning had good ideas XBLA. And then came GFWL and the later part of the 360 lifecycle.

So it is a lot like Steam doesn't matter because everything else is unlike steam.

A deep dive into developers life
I think .NET is pretty amazing (to have emerged out of Redmond, at least).
>In comparison, I look around at my friends who majored in liberal arts. I know a double-digit number of people who turned down six figure jobs to go into public service for a fraction of the money. One of my best friends wants to save the environment. The summer after our second year of school, I went to go intern at a firm, which gave me a $1k/month lunch budget and a guaranteed job after graduation, while she went to intern for the EPA which rarely hires anyone after graduation. Now, I've got an office with views of Manhattan, and she's waitressing on the side to make ends meet while looking for that rare opportunity to get a job at an environmental non-profit.

Inputs are much less important than outputs. Sure, a greater proportion non-hackers make conspicuous lifestyle changes in the name of their chosen cause. But how much real difference has your friend made except to her waitressing patrons? By contrast someone who figured out how to save 1% of the electricity used at facebook has made a huge contribution to the environment, which is in no way diminished by the fact that they were well paid for doing so.
No. If your non-production environments are less secure than your production environment, then you're doing something wrong. In fact, non-production environments generally have a much smaller population of users and they are tend to be more security minded. Or should be.
There are a lot of numbers tossed around without a lot of hard data backing them up, but it's generally accepted that over half of all large software projects 'fail' at both private companies and government institutions.
More like 100, because 10% of that would have been spent on devs, and the rest on hiring meeting rooms, biscuits, project managers, external agencies, etc etc etc. trust me, i'm at the bbc...
> As I'm fairly new to all of this, I'd love to hear how I can turn this into a more viable experiment.

The most important thing is getting an estimate of how good your averages are. Try to modify a couple of things, for example how do the 67% change with sample size (verification)? How does the number turn out if you feed it biased data, e.g. only male phone numbers (falsification)?
Every branch of the service has done tear gas exposure for decades. Speaking from my experience in the service, it sucks. (But it's not as stressful as fire fighting or damage control simulators...)
Not that I agree with the concept of the law in question, a private airline does have the right to require that you present any ID of their choosing to fly on their planes. They have the right to refuse you if you choose to not follow their rules.

There is room for debate on whether the airlines should be creating their rules based on laws for the TSA that are then not publicly displayed. But the thing is, if the law pertains to the airlines and not the public then that's the sticking point.

Let's say that the lawmakers had decided that said law involved national security and that gives precedent to keep the law secret to those it does not directly affect. The law, which we haven't seen, likely only pertains to the airlines directly and not the passengers. The airlines are informed of the law that tells them they are required to request ID. It's likely you couldn't even sue in that case because you wouldn't have standing.

The thing is, this type of law likely no longer applies. These days, in the U.S. at least, you typically do not have to show ID at the counter to get your tickets or at the gate to get on the plane, which was done in the past. They might ask to verify you should be getting the tickets you are requesting, but likely they won't resist much if you refuse. Recently you only need a credit card to identify yourself to get your tickets from the automated kiosk. Now you have to show ID to a government agent at the security gate to get past. That's the rub, they are now requiring that you show ID to get past the security gate, not to get on the plane. You are not being restricted from traveling by not showing ID, you are being restricted on entering a certain part of the airport for not showing ID. If you can get past the security gate, you are free to enter the plane.

Therefore, you cannot claim the government is preventing your right to travel for refusing to show ID at all. They're just not letting you go down a certain hallway in a building for refusing to show ID.

Any law can be written to do anything you want that easily passes Constitutional muster if you think things through.
"Actually large private enterprises don't usually make this kind of mistake."

Really? You sure about that? Because hard numbers are hard to come by, but I'm pretty sure they do with some frequency. It's notoriously common for large consultancies not working for the government to have the same outcome too.

It's possible private enterprise makes this mistake at a different rate than the government, but I'd despair of trying to prove that claim, or even give it a solid definition. In general large software initiatives seem to fail, regardless of whose bright idea they are.

In fact, the opposite is true: most revolutionary movements spurred from philosophical elaborations of wealthy and well-educated members of the ruling classes, which then allowed "inferiors" to claim their newly-defined 'natural rights'. People like Locke or Voltaire had little or nothing to gain from saying what they said, but were conscious that others would have been empowered by their words.
5 things we do differently at Centralway
There was this blog post from the Microsoft Engineer, saying that larger companies always work in a different way. We at Centralway work hard on keeping the good stuff from our entrepreneurial culture, even though we're growing insanely fast.
I suffered from the whole "not being up to date all the time" syndrome. I would always read, I'd read everything about everything. New technologies, frameworks, startups, ideas, languages, everything. I'd read so much, I'd never actually code because I felt "out of the loop".

Find a problem no matter how trivial it is, turn that problem into a solution in the form of software. Use the tools that would be best for the project. It doesn't matter how recent the tool is, how many people use it, how cool it is. What matters is that it gets the job done.

I've finally settled on an idea and buckled down and got to work.
This made me fall asleep.

Well written piece, kudos to the author.

If we are uploading cheques and licenses, why not just have a form with the respective upload sections for each document. Sure, people might get the two backward by accident, but is that error rate really any worse than the false positive rate of the proposed solution.

If you are going to go the machine learning route, then it really only makes sense if you go all the way and do some OCR on the documents to pick out the meaningful information to prepopulate some input screen that would likely appear after submitting those documents.
Unanimous judgment, though Scalia concurred in part and filed a separate opinion.

Myriad kind of still wins as their cDNA synthesis technique is affirmed patentable, which would presumably be used in conjunction with a patient's own BRCA genes to determine their cancer risk. So the precise test itself appears patented still, but now other companies can make use of the BRCA genes themselves, perhaps to develop other treatments that don't use the cDNA synthesis technique.
Non of those were remotely credible.

I agree that those claims weren't credible. I struggle to see how the fact that absurd and derogatory claims got play in the press for 4 years supports your claim that Obama gets special treatment because of his color. Seems more like evidence against what you're claiming.
