I would never have thought that was actually possible. A write-up regarding your architecture / challenges / solutions / future plans in a blog post would be extremely interesting.

Let's say you're right. Does that change the fact that you're telling him how to grieve?
What do you mean? The internet will still be able to execute the same functions the only difference is that users will be less likely to release their private information with as much trust.

Unless I misunderstood your point.

Beautiful. thanks!
The 5th amendment says, in relevant portion: "No person... shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself..."

I don't think it's a great decision, but it's misleading to say "that's not what the constitution says." The constitution doesn't say anything, one way or the other, about the proper way to invoke the right against self-incrimination. It just says that people shall not be "compelled."
And finally, someone will need to start shipping FPGAs with a standardized interface on commodity hardware.

If Apple included an FPGA in their machines with some cool sounding marketing name like Particle Accelerator™ it would probably catch on.

The last time I looked into FPGA programming (probably back when I was in college), the cheap eval hardware cost at least a few hundred dollars a board, if not a few thousand.

Not sure when you were in college, but we used FPGAs in my upper level computer engineering courses, circa 2006, and the Xilinx dev boards we used were about $120.
I have no words. That's just ... altogether incredible.
The posts are still there just not necessarily on the front page.
I couldn't imagine preparing yourself with counselling just to prepare to find out if you have ALS or any other life changing disease. That thought just blows me away.

I remember a couple of years ago coming out a clinic where I was told I have a kidney disease and if not treated within the next half decade I could die of kidney failure in the next 15 to 20 years and remember feeling pist off and indignant about it like: "Dammit! Why me? I'm a good person. I didn't do anything majorly wrong in life!" and now that I'm 4 1/2 months into my treatment I am being humbled by amazing people who have been dealt a much, much, much worse hand in life who have a better outlook on life.

I sure hope you don't get it. And whether or not you believe in God, I say to you, God be with you, and may he watch over you and your family.

IANAL.

Yes, and the framing of this article as being about before-versus-after is misleading.

It's not before-or-after Miranda that matters. It's when you start talking, when you stop talking, what you say when you stop talking, etc. As other commenters have said, you can simplify this decision by never talking to police without your lawyer present.

IANAL. And also I generally answer questions for cops when they ask me.
I used to use a lot of budgeting tools like Microsoft Money. At the end of the day I realized that they were all a waste of time. No amount of new bank accounts helps you make more money.

Everybody has the same common goal of making more money. The only way to do this is to earn more and/or spend less.

No amount of time spent budgeting, forecasting or plotting graphs helped me earn more money. Maybe it would help you keep an eye on your spending. If you are good at that, then there is no need. Spend your time setting up a startup instead.
If the report is accurate, shells are what's left behind, the assembly of brass and plastic that you reload and all that. And for those on the brass base there will be extractor and ejector markings, and as jlgreco reminds me, maybe the firing pin, although how good they will be as evidence I don't know. I.e. sufficiently unique, then again a lot of this science isn't really anything resembling science as it's used outside the judicial world, excepting DNA matching.

BTW, some shotgun barrels do have rifling for shooting unrifled slugs for deer hunting (e.g. http://www.brownells.com/items/rifled-shotgun-barrels.aspx), but I'll bet that's not the case here.
I stopped using it the day of the announcement. I took the shortcut out of my bookmarks, deleted the app from my phone, and exported my feeds one last time. It felt a bit like a breakup. I don't think I'd go back if they changed their mind. Some things aren't put back together that easily.

By the same token, I'm not switching to somebody else's closed replacement. From now on, my RSS reader will always be an open-source thing that runs on my own servers. It might be klunky at the start, but if it truly matters I'll invest in it.

Think about this, the people most affected by this decision will, by definition, never know about it.

If you're ignorant of the basic right, you are definitely ignorant of the case law.

The supreme court just said two things 1. The state has no responsibility to inform people of their rights and thus 2. The ignorant have no rights.

This both sickens and terrifies me.
Yes, just like you have to say "I intend to utilize my first amendment rights" before you say or write anything or "I am exercising my fourth amendment rights" whenever you lock your front door. If you don't actively claim it, you don't get it.
What It’s Like to Work Inside Jack Dorsey’s Brain
A lot of missed optimization opportunities come from the impracticability of communicating to the compiler information known to the developer. Basic examples include “the two lvalues here do not alias” and “the int variable x here is always positive, x/8 can be compiled as straightforward right shift instead of a more complex sequence of instructions”. There are various source-level workarounds including using restrict when applicable, copying lvalues to local variables whose address is never taken to make the lack of aliasing clearer, and casting to unsigned int before dividing. In the worst cases, you have to make the program less readable in order to improve the generated code, with no guarantees that the change makes the generated code better for all compilers (some compilers might still miss the optimization opportunity and generate additional instructions for the copies/casts).

On a related note, I have a dream one day to discover a real example where undefined behavior can be used constructively as a license for the compiler to optimize: the following post alludes to this idea but assembly dumps at the bottom show that the compiler is not taking advantage of the information encoded into the undefined behavior:

http://blog.frama-c.com/index.php?post/2012/07/25/On-the-red...

More seriously, an annotation language for expressing properties that are supposed to be true at various points of the program can be useful to transmit information from the programmer to the compiler and enabling optimizations that would otherwise require difficult full-program analysis. And these annotations can be used to analyze the program too!

Indeed, and that was an argument the Federalists made against the Bill of Rights.

But then again, does negatively defined law ever work in practice? Sure doesn't seem to in a whole bunch of areas that don't touch on the 1st through 8th Amendments.
It doesn't matter which truth exactly. The more information they have access to, the better the decisions they will be able to make (in theory, at least).

I don't trust them to wield that power because I don't need to trust them. I hope that by wielding that power, they destroy it by making it clear to the world that privacy no longer exists.
Ran into a coworker on the elevator. We worked together on the same floor in the same department for a few years then I changed departments and floors and now we hardly see each other.

Wow, thanks! Going on Amazon to buy.
Exactly, and this is pretty much the answer to the OP's question about why software engineers haven't embraced FPGAs.

Answer; there are other solutions that are simpler and much closer to their existing knowledge base. You want to build a soda machine? I can implement that logic in an 8 pin, fifty cent Atmel tinyAVR device that can be programmed in C or C++

Skills of software engineers are probably better applied to building better FPGA toolsets.
Thanks ddw! Another HN user pointed out in the comments here that TomTom has carpool lane option. And I'd be another passionate founder who can't program or do development.
Have you looked at News Blur? The code is available to you if you want to do exactly what you said. I'm using the paid version and while it's a solid base it could use a few improvements.
>High Level Synthesis isn't here yet

Plenty of commercial development on that front recently. Forte Design Systems [1] is selling tools targeting both FPGA and ASIC design using a C++ class library front end (SystemC). Synopsys has two flows in their Synphony product line, one which synthesizes from C called Synphony C Compiler [2] and another flow based on Matlab libraries which isn't really synthesis per se but supports mapping between Matlab Simulink to FGPAs [3].

Use of these (including AutoESL) seem focused on certain domains. Image processing, cryptography and machine vision seem popular areas just now.

I am guessing the angle would be something related to why you and the baby were the only two people present if you were not the parent. If you were the parent, then I would be concerned about being blamed for somehow purposely causing the incident. Aside from the police I would be worried about the parents and any civil case they might try to bring in some misguided attempt to find someone to blame in their grief.

These are probably unlikely concerns, but I can imagine them and I don't like them. If there were other people around then these issues would be mitigated... but I would also feel no pressure to talk to anyone.

If you're arrested or indicted, these make it clear: it's better not to have talked to the police.

But I'm still looking for analysis of how talking to the police affects the chance that they won't arrest you at all. If we're interested in P(trouble | talk to police) vs. P(trouble | don't talk to police), this part is just as important.

Also, how often do contributors look at the source code on github? Contributors will most likely have the repo cloned on their machine. I think if management interface were to exist, it should default to Pull Requests or Issues, or some kind of dashboard that summarizes new activities in both.

This is one more of a creeping unbalancing of the checks and balances of modern government and it causes me great unease

In the UK we lost the "right to silence" twenty years ago - I remember campaigning to stop the bill. (Don't hire me as a lobbyist)

I think only the PACE reforms which focused police back on real evidence and away from confession and go policing has kept us from an explosion in the courts system.

Bein arrested and interviewed is a massively intimidating thing and just shutting up is almost always the best advice.
But if that advice can add years to your sentence you are asking people to make a fine risk assessment at the point most people are just in a head spin.

Not good. Aaron Schwartz had time to think about his fine balancing act. Look how that played out.

Keep the courts a long way away from inferences about why you shut up - write your congressman now. Seriously

More wumao bullshit. Just because someone doesn't buy into the US constructed narrative of "US is good, cares about it's people and the environment, China is evil and just wants to control the world" they have to be Chinese shills...

Hoarding real estate in Manhattan or Paris only works as long as those assets continue to appreciate in value. Assuming demand for those properties is always increasing, how would you propose to put a curb on their prices?

As far as making a currency behave this way, I would say it's entirely unprecedented to have a currency that is both deflationary and infinitely divisible. The incentive to hold on to the currency may be strong, but there will always be incentive to take risks for even greater gains. Just look at how ASICMINER shares have risen.
Ask HN: Finding short term housing in the Bay Area
As someone about to make the jump out to California in August for a sort of personal sabbatical(3-4 months in the mountain view area, possibly longer if a job opportunity presents itself). What are my options when it comes to locating a short term furnished rental. Nothing fancy, just a bed and dresser is fine and even a shared bathroom are ok. I won't be able to visit beforehand for any longer than maybe a weekend because of my current job. I'm wondering if craigslist is the best option since most people want you to see the place before signing any agreements.

Would spending the first week in a hotel and surfing craigslist be a good option? I would really like to lock in a place before making the trip out there. Anyone else have experience with this? How did you go about locating a place?

From the article I get the sense that the author is doing quite a lot more than writing insults.

I think empowering other people is a worthy pursuit, and definitely has a place here at HN.

Also, it's a bit rich to say "I'll just write some clever insults from my corner" when you're doing the same.
Let's say that you tell the officer: "The baby ran off with the bear that way." According to this case, you have now waved your 5th amendment rights. Now let's say, instead of running after the bear, the officer asks you "where did you hide the baby?"

Now, if you're smart, you would keep your mouth shut. You're innocent and anything you say can and will be used against you, in the event that the officer doesn't or refuses to believe you. But, according to this case, if you do keep your mouth shut then the officer can now offer as evidence to the court the fact that once he asked you specifically about the location of the baby, you didn't answer.

The prosecutor will then, legally, stand before a jury begging the question "why didn't he just answer the question? Obviously because he is guilty." Now you're the guy last seen with a missing baby who refused to say where the baby was. You're obviously guilty.

I, for one, will never speak to another on duty officer again except to the extent required by law.
Say you're trying to debug something, and you add a call to fmt.Printf. 'Compile error, "Undefined: fmt."' No problem, add 'import "fmt"' at the top.

Now it's debugged, so let's remove the annoying logging statement. Oops: 'Compile error: "imported and not used: fmt."' So now you remove the import, knowing full well you're going to be adding it back again in a minute or two. Annoying!

Or maybe, as part of debugging, you temporarily comment out a block of code. You just made a bunch of variables and imports unused, and you can't even test your changes until you clean them up.

Exploratory programming and debugging puts code in transiently dirty states, and Go's enforced hygiene is onerous in those cases.

When the cabinet spends more time phoning each other to check numbers than acting in their roles as Ministers of the Crown, that's bad for business. Compare and contrast the dying days of Howard, when for several months Hamlet of Higgins hovered with a knife.

> As for meaningless metric, what other metrics do we have?

Process metrics aren't output metrics.

More generally, I don't like a lot of the policy settings, so understandably I'm agin' it.

I agree that the media of person and personality has crowded out everything else, including the discussion of whether the bills being presented advance the national interest. I think Gillard is quite sincere about the NDIS and Gonski and it's a pity that neither policy has received more than a fairly surface level consideration.

I'm sure that an element of the bile directed towards Gillard is misogyny, but a lot of it is plain old politician-hate. I can't think of a single PM who hasn't been honest-to-god hated by at least 30% of the electorate.

The point about prioritizing clearing road-blocks for your team cannot be underestimated, but, in my experience, with a serious caveat:

- Unless your SURE you have the time, do not put the technical task onto yourself, try to redirect.

I've made that blunder over and over again: saying "heh, I'll hack this little bit up tomorrow", and in the middle of planning, helping other people and so forth you postpone, losing the blocked developers attention and focus.

RubyMotion Basics: Login Screen
Last time we were in Paris we stayed in a great hotel for five nights. This time we stayed in an apartment via AirBnB for a month for the same total amount of money.

We did our research - found hotels willing to give us a discount for a month's stay, looked at other apartment rental agencies etc. but AirBnB was far and away the cheapest option for what we were after.

The apartment was fantastic, exactly as described and in the condition shown in the photos. It was clean, the owner was extremely helpful during the planning and booking stages and met us at the apartment (at 11pm on Christmas night, no less) when we arrived in Paris. She provided cleaning at no extra charge - we arranged with the cleaner directly, who arrived half an hour before we left for the airport.

Frankly, I couldn't fault the service. AirBnB staff were great (we had a billing issue early on that they resolved in minutes), the host was great, the apartment was great and the whole process was easy.

Obviously there are trade-offs when staying in an apartment rather than a hotel, but from my experience they're more than worth it to save a significant amount of money.
AFAIK, Rep. Nadler was not interviewed by CNET for the story and it was based entirely on the reporter's interpretation of his public remarks. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) I think there's a good chance Rep. Nadler did not change his position and was simply misinterpreted. If you watch the video[0] of the exchange, it definitely seems like at least one of them is confused about what they're talking about.

Regardless, I think the implication that somebody must have "gotten to" Congressman Nadler and therefore we should continue to believe what we thought he said earlier rather than what he's saying unambiguously now is totally ridiculous.
