Yes, that would be great... the U.S. uses Blackberries everywhere too and whatever hacks GCHQ or NSA can come up could be found by FSB or others as well. Not to mention the rest of us "average Joes" who would be at risk from insecure phone software.
At least, he is traveling through the Fortran arrays in the wrong order. In Fortran arrays are stored in memory in the opposite order of C,

Fortran order: A(1,1); A(2,1); A(1,2); A(2,2);

C order: A[1,1]; A[1,2]; A[2,1]; A[2,2];

( See for example: http://www.xlsoft.com/jp/products/intel/cvf/docs/vf-html_e/p... )

Compiling in gfortran with -O3 sometimes solves that automatically for you, but you must try to use the correct order. And with less optimization the difference in the order of the index can produce very big difference in time dew to the cache problems.

Also, the C/phyton program uses a few trick like += and tmp variables. I don't know how they interact with the optimizations, -O3 does very strange things and perhaps they generate the same code.

Then let people volunteer for it in exchange for lower taxes. If the impact is truly minor, there should be many takers and much savings.
It's an excerpt, so the style might fit better in the book, where hopefully the reader isn't thrown right into it and bombarded with it constantly.

Even as an excerpted article, however, it needed to be edited much more. I skimmed the last half because I found the style unbearable. If you're going to explain why movies suck now, then start talking about facts, ideas, and their connections. Why bother with so much character development when those characters don't matter in such a short piece?
>"....In the 1950s and 60s, the NSA spied on all telegrams entering and exiting the country. The egregious actions were only uncovered after Congress set up an independent investgation called the Church Committee in the 1970s after Watergate. When the American public learned about NSA's actions, they demanded change. And the Church Committee delivered it by providing more information about the programs and by curtailing the spying."

It seems late to bring up the original NSA charter for the first time I've seen this past week, but since it's origin, isn't this what the NSA was defined to do? My understanding was the NSA watches offshore, the FBI our home turf, and for other domestic surveillance while staying within its charter, the work-around was we had the Brits do it.

Not part of a series. "How to solve it" was written long before "How to prove it", and the latter was presumably named in homage to Polya's book. (Though I don't think it has much in common.)

There's another recent mathsy book called "How to solve it: modern heuristics" which is actually about optimization algorithms and has basically nothing to do with Polya's book.

Retired people are the fastest growing demographic in every city. We're living longer.
Snowden knows exactly what the consequences would be, because he's not the first whistleblower. Bradley Manning is still potentially facing the death penalty, and at the very least he will never see the outside of a jail again. And still plenty of people found enough reason to label him a coward. It is way too easy to be in a comfy chair and say that other people should throw their life away to stand by their principles.

IMHO, Snowden should just ask for political asylum if that is what he went to hong kong for. Given the circumstances, he would probably get it.
Realistically, aren't they only going to rack up more debt that they will have to pay off, in the form of lawyer fees?
As far as I know, there is no distinction between foreigner or resident person in the data protection law in Switzerland.
I will definitely second that. It's simply not possible to cover every aspect of a topic within any course. Survey courses are a great solution to a very real problem.
What about Bradley Manning?

That's as pristinely analogous a case as it gets to Snowden's, with diametrically opposed approaches the actors took to pursue their causes.

It's striking how one obscure blog post can be more valuable than all the media speculation on this question (that I've seen) put together.

The infographic is taken from the South China Morning Post, a mainstream media outlet. It's followed by some verbiage about the speed of the Hong Kong judiciary and then a mention of a murder trial (actually, two trials) that's gone on for nearly 10 years - but that's a murder trial, not an extradition proceeding.

This is just as speculative as anything else but from what little we've learned about Snowden, he just doesn't strike me as some fiendishly clever schemer. If I had to guess, I'd say he went to Hong Kong because he has an interest in Chinese language and culture and went to the most comfortable place in China that's China-but-not-quite.
Well, for example, Americans basically personae non grata to Swiss banks.
For $3k you can have a pretty rockin' boat party.
"without having a measure of the posters' relative popularity"

I would add also that I'm sure there are people that don't realize that a high karma score can come not only from comments such as you describe but additionally simply because someone was the early poster of a story that got voted up.

So in a certain karma range we don't know how many points are from that vs. from agreement with a comment. (My guess though is that as karma increases most of it comes from comments and activity that is not related to posting a popular link).
Are you answering the right person ?

Because I was specifically talking about the costs associated with terrorist acts. And that preventing them has significant and widespread benefits to the economy. It's pretty clear that focusing just on ROI alone this program is easily worth the price.
I've been thinking of alternative destinations. New Zealand, home of exile Kim Dotcom, could work. But what about Sweden? Aren't they very neutral? Or Switzerland, the nation that's synonymous with neutrality?
Haha, sure. Since this was a random fun project, the code was written with the objective function being "least amount of code to get the job done well enough" :)
Total Cost?
Yo Larry! Come down to LA, Santa Monica area. Code with ocean views! Although, I do miss the amount of live music in Portland.
I think it depends on your goals.

I want my ISP to be as close to a dumb pipe as possible.
The weather is one of the worst things (that and high cost of living) about San Francisco (the city itself, not suburbs). There are maybe 3 weeks a year of actual warm, sunny weather. But you don't get the cold/snowy or hot/humid weather either.

Now, if you live 30+ minutes outside of San Francisco, you can have great weather and slightly lower cost of living.
The PasteAnchor plugin allows the user to paste an URL to a Markdown or HTML file and to automatically get an anchor with the page title as link name.

For example, pasting "http://www.quora.com/" to a Markdown file gives the following result:

[Home - Quora](http://www.quora.com/)

In addition to this, pasting links to threads of Hacker-News-like sites gives results that include two anchors: one for the thread and one for the related article.

For example, pasting "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5879203" to an HTML file gives the following result:

<a href="http://jz13.java.no">JavaZone 2013</a> via <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5879203">Hacker News</a>
A warrant may never even be issued, since if he is arrested Hongkong police will be duty bound to turn over anything of national security interest to Beijing. Yeah it is a pretty sharp move.
GP still has a valid point, SIM card swapping as mentioned in the article is not track-proof.
That video doesn't tell us much, but I think this could be an incredible opportunity to rethink what cities are. If they're making them all anyway, why not create them sustainable? It's a bunch of farmers, so give them plots of land to feed themselves with. Make self-sufficient earthships instead of houses that require utilities.

Sadly, the video says this is meant to increase the economy, get them buying more stuff. I imagine that there will be a very efficient system for shipping all these people into massive factories to make plastic crap, so that all these newly converted consumers can buy more plastic crap, 98% of which ends up in landfills within 2 years, which I suppose is what they'll be using their old farmland for! lol.

I agree with leke.
May be a firmware/hardware issue, as I've had similar issues on Win 7, both with the screen disconnect and the projector display issues.

I don't know anything about the impact Intel's status as a publicly traded companies could have on the distribution of this market (which maybe why I missed the point), but semiconductor factories at Intel's level are insanely valuable. Intel also seems to learn very well from their expensive mistakes so with the equity in the factories and their existing market share, there is a long long way before Intel is truly "Oh shit we're going to go bankrupt really soon" threatened.

ARM processors don't have an FSB (at least not in the sense that I understand it). Even if ARM-64 introduced one, what innovation can they do there? The whole point of QuickPath Interconnect and HyperTransport was that the FSB to Northbridge connection was a bottleneck. If you mean ARM can innovate in their general bus architecture, like implementing NUMA and a few other optimizations which would really help, then I agree. But we have yet to see how these optimizations will help in the ARM architecture and implementing many of them is nontrivial.

I totally agree that this is a different threat and that's exactly why I think Intel will win this. Their response has been late but very promising and, from my cursory knowledge of their history, taken very seriously compared to previous threats.

As for "other folks can see that now," the opinions I've heard in my circles have all been largely pro-ARM except for the electrical engineers. None of them think that any of the ARM microarchitectures can compare to Intel's for servers (opinions gathered pre-SnapDragon 800) and that they're nowhere near ready to impact Intel's market share in servers beyond a rounding error.
I've always found it odd as hell that G20 summits aren't done by teleconferencing with one time pads. It's not like it'd be difficult, given the resources they have, to securely exchange a few TB of stuff for when you wanted really secure chats.
Yeah, but the article I read suggested that rich Californians from other parts of the state were choosing SF as a place to retire. (Whereas people actually from SF were leaving due to costs) I'll try to dig up the article if I can.
what you say is false, EO12333 expressly forbids this with the following:

"2.12 Indirect Participation.
No element of the Intelligence Community shall participate in or request any person to undertake activities forbidden by this Order. "
It's not foggy, but it's not warm either.
"Disciplined Minds" was written by someone knowledgeable. From ch. 15:

"Remember also that profesional training is preceded by at least 16 years of preparatory socialization in the schools. Students who go on to professional training tend to be the "best" students—those who, among other things, excel at playing by the rules. [...]

"Alone in a large program designed to mold you, you cannot uphold an independent outlook for long. By yourself you can't even maintain a point of reference against which to sense that your outlook is drifting and to gauge how far it has drifted, because the training system, so as not to sabotage itself, excludes sources of critical distance."

It even meshes with what ender7 said. He wrote, "once you get into a PhD program you are shockingly, horrifyingly alone." And he pointed out the preparatory programs.

The book also delves into your point about "learning how to manage your boss". Many cynically "play the game" and generally do a bit better than those who don't. But even that's part of the system. You know the rules and still subordinate yourself, ironically believing you're in control of Big Boss. Remember, a boss is defined as someone who gives you commands which you obey. An inherently pathetic position, which many frankly call (wage) slavery. The court may plot and scheme, but the king is still their king.
If you can patch firmware of your phone you can forge IMEI. Most of phones have IMEI in OTP flash, but with unlocked boot loader modification of code which actually send it to network is usually possible.

Many cheap Chinese phones on MTK chipsets produced at non-working time without knowledge of factory owners don't have unique IMEIs, they have all zeroes or all ones in it so user can flash it itself one time; loads of fake iPhones with quadro SIMs and analog TV support can have IMEIs of few real iPhones.
Sweden? The country that's trying to extradite Assange?
Considering the simplicity and mostly just an "S" I'd have to see almost exactly the same logo to think it's infringement. These logos are not so similar.
you're not wrong- the airborne turbines are operable tethered to the ground.

but, there previously wasn't much value to Makani in exploring untethered solutions; they needed transmission lines going back to the surface, anyway.

I don't believe Google intends to use the two technologies together directly. there's just more synergy here than it may appear, on the surface.
Why not just use something like Weebly or Strikingly to create a website that doesn't look horrible. That'll save you 1500 for now, then when you can get a customized look later on.
Off topic, but I just want to say that I love HN - anywhere else, and you'd be getting a bunch of crude comments about this. Glad that we're sticking to the technological and censorship aspects :)
"Martin Luther King didn't live in a world where we imprison innocent men in legal limbo without trial or habeas corpus, or where we officially sanctioned torture and the oubliette. He could trust that he would be vindicated by the justice system."

You're kidding me right?!? You honestly think the era he lived in was fair and just to people like him? Do you know how many lynchings there were in Florida alone? Does the name Emmett Till ring a bell? What did you think MLK fought for?
Could the reason DVD sales have dropped so much simply be that Hollywood has released the back catalog of films?

My guess is when DVDs first became the craze there were only a handful of titles, as more titles were added people bought more - often going out to buy their favorites and classics for the sake of nostalgia. In this way Hollywood was making money by just re-releasing a lot of old content.

Now that all that 'catching up' has occurred and customers have already gone out and bought their favorite films, only new releases remain - and those are either a. underwhelming or b. not yet 'classic' status enough to bother owning.
I use Knockout, too, and it has served me well. All the computed methods and model change detection are trivial in Knockout.
Finding Your Life Purpose
If you actually look at the CSPAN segment upon which the piece is gased, you can see that there is legitimate confusion between the FBI Director and the Congressman during the exchange.

That could have been a ruse, or the Congressman could have legitimately misunderstood something previously, and thus tried to clear everything up after it blew up. Not everything is a fucking conspiracy.
Someone who can't see the "point" Snowden is trying to make obviously shouldn't offer him advice. But hey, if I got paid to rattle off my opinion on national TV regardless of its merit, I might bloviate too.
Chris, please don't take this comment as being mean-spirited, but I'm not sure you are getting the message from what the other posters are saying. I think it needs to be spelled out candidly:

This isn't a viable business.

From this and your previous posts it is clear that you don't have the knowledge required to run a hosting company, you don't have a target market, and you don't nearly enough money. You're off by at least a factor of 10, if not closer to 50. No-one wants to rent a server from a one-man-and-a-machine company.

Please read over the various comments from your past submissions and be honest about what you read before you continue.
Manning is not facing the death penalty, is not a "whistleblower" by any reasonable stretch of the term (except perhaps by lucky accident), and his actions were different from Snowden's, at Snowden's own admission.
This is a business decision from certain Swiss banks due to the impracticality of the situation.

And maybe this is what will happen to certain US business too, they will lose customers because they can't give privacy guarantee to foreign customers.
I stayed at StartupHouse until they got shut down and I have felt the same way. While I interned at a startup I was making $40k/year (it was a 6-month internship, so really only $20K), and I was able to live perfectly happy. I wasn't able to go out and spend money lavishly all the time, but I ate well, went out with friends on weekends, and overall had a good time.
"You cannot get away from a contract by simply not reading it - many people would repudiate their contracts if this was the case."

This is one reason, I think, why contract signings are witnessed. In a dispute the witness can testify that you did in fact read, appear to understand, and willingly sign. And this is why online TOS are difficult to enforce: no way to prove that you even saw the contract or intended to click the "agree" button.

"banks can unilaterally change the interest rate on your property"

Say what? If I sign a 30 year note for 3% interest it's 3% for 30 years, and the bank is stuck with that.
I'm confused about what sense Ember doesn't have data binding in HTML. How is this not data binding in HTML:

<div {{bindAttr class="highlighted:paid"}}>{{name}}</div>

... genuine question from someone who hasn't built much more than toy apps in Ember and Angular.
Vagrant is the answer. I mean virtulization itself is the answer, but vagrant packages it up in such a way that it's easy to use on any platform and easy to get going as long as someone takes the time to write the first file.

Basically, wave of the future. :p
Angular wasn't invented at Google (it was invented by Angular company, which got acqui-hired by Google) and some Google staffers have mentioned Angular breaks a few documented Google rules for creating Javascript MVC frameworks.

I suspect Angular's popularity has more to do with a logo than features.

- The unnecessary new module system is a massive waste of time and obviously doesn't play well with others

- It's the first MVC framework I've used that can't properly loop over an array or primitives (the partials for the primitives be displayed,but changes to them won't flow back to the parent as Angular can't make a $parent (IIRC) key.

Also: 'NG' just fucking doesn't stand for Angular.
Huh? The claim was just that Linux has good working drivers for the standard Lenovo parts? Trackpad, monitor, GPU, HD controller, sleep/wake-up, etc?

That's barebones basic stuff. Of course that should work out of the box...

It's all the other stuff driver-wise that matters...
What is the moral reasoning behind such agencies? How is it not violating assumed trust between nations for whatever personal/local/domestic gain?

I really can't reason about this suff, so someone help me out here. To me the whole existence of such agencies is borderline immoral.
To which law are you referring that requires people to lie?
> produced at non-working time without knowledge of factory owners don't have unique IMEIs

I've had odd troubles with USB devices for the same reason; a bunch of them with identical or overlapping serial numbers. I wonder how much of a problem it causes for the operators, I doubt their systems were originally designed to accept duplicate IMEI.
Given we're talking about the weather some of this is in jest. And you've somewhat turned this around as "what do you mean the weather is terrible". I was objecting to the "the weather in SF is fantastic!" crowd who blow by Mark Twain's keen observation. Places I have lived for more than a year include the Bay Area, Boston, Melbourne Australia, Istanbul, Chapel Hill, London. I found the fog to be very annoying as I had to manage to the weather constantly there.
It's really hard for me to take this article seriously when it opens with the claim that engineering classes are about memorization. That couldn't be further from my experience.

I did undergrad and grad degrees in EE/CS, and with very few exceptions none of the classes I took rewarded rote memorization. Quite the opposite: they were all about learning the fundamentals of the material and then applying those fundamentals to more difficult problems.

In fact, I went out of my way to avoid classes that boiled down to memorization: I wanted to take too many good classes to bother with crappy ones. Perhaps I took it too far: in freshman chemistry they gave us a quiz early in the semester where we were expected to reproduce the first 60 or 80 elements from the periodic table. I computed that the quiz was only worth about 1% of my grade for the term and didn't even show up for class that day.
wouldn't it be better to just say that there's a specific type of vulnerability, and then explain how long it has been?

ultimately, it's up to customers and end users to decide if they can tolerate a security hole being open for a few weeks or months. to that end, maybe it's better to go down the food chain and look at what hosts are using WHM, and publish that list. end users could see if their provider is exposed.
Like the commenter above, I stayed at StartupHouse for awhile, actually until they got shut down. It was pretty awesome to have my own bed, good WiFi, and be in the middle of SOMA for ~$1,000/month. I also interned at a startup in SF and lived pretty happily during that time. I was being paid $40k/year, but it was a 6-month internship so really only $20K. But I lived pretty well. I had a bed to sleep on in the city, I went out with friends on the weekends, and had a great time. I guess it all depends on your priorities and the standard of living you're looking for.
NSA does drug busts, industrial espionage, and political work for many other TLAs.

For instance we know some details about the MINARET project which was not the full extent of their spying that:

"Operating between 1967 and 1973, over 5,925 foreigners and 1,690 organizations and US citizens were included on the Project MINARET watch lists. NSA Director, Lew Allen, testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee in 1975 that the NSA had issued over 3,900 reports on the watch-listed Americans." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MINARET

One imagines that with the growth of technology and the growth of the NSAs budget from that time they are able to distractedly increase those numbers.
