I'm suddenly reminded of Apple Ireland, the largest owner of Apple's non-US assets, and how Apple, last of the PRISM 9, was made to testify before Congress for tax avoidance.

It's probably just a coincidence.

If your lungs contain 1 bar, and water around you is 10 bar, you will be very uncomfortable.
It's a consequence of, first, having assembly lines and later assembly lines 'staffed' by robots.
Once upon a time manufactured goods were expensive and labour was cheap.
Now it's the other way around.
So it's cheaper to chuck most things when they break rather than try to repair them.
From a maximising p.o.v it makes sense, at least until such time as there are robots that will do housecalls

Yeah, but this is The Atlantic, a 156-year-old magazine with a reputation for literary and journalistic excellence. It's discomfiting to get to the end of an article in a publication of its caliber and be left wondering "what did I just read?"
If the increased pressure is high enough, your diaphragm and lungs are going to be in a world of hurt.

Physiological freaks aside, go too deep, and you're dead. Especially when you go from 1 bar to, say, 15 instantly, which is a situation that free divers do not expose themselves to.
>What about crack?

What about it? Serious drug addiction is a mental health problem. We'll never solve this problem without focusing on it directly. Trying to "get drugs off the streets" is focusing on the symptom, not the cause.
Writing like you speak is actually an excellent idea! Mark Twain was one of the best authors of relatively recent history.
well, it's not really paranoid stupidity. these resources were used against the Occupy movement. if you look at the 70's, COINTELPRO was created to squash domestic dissenting groups such as the Black Panthers, to great effect.

our government is perfectly fine with suppressing dissent, and the fate of the Occupy movement shows this - a government would not use undercover police, agent provocateurs, destabilizing tactics, etc. if they tolerated dissent. in my city, the local police intentionally broke up homeless camps and moved them near or into the Occupy tent camp, straining the Occupy resources. Then, when the homeless people inevitably did drugs or were publicly intoxicated in the camp, the police came in and started arresting people left and right for drug possession, intoxication, etc. this did a fantastic job of breaking up our local protest.

Given it was just his girlfriend, why would you expect the level of commitment that would even strain a marriage?

The guy basically made himself target #1 of one of the world's super powers and he's on the run. Why would he force anyone to tag along with him, just based off some temporary notion of companionship? If they were married, with children or had some undying level of commitment, I could see some bewilderment.

So far it just seems incredibly logical and reasonable she would stay behind, on both their parts.
I've often wondered how reliable the red light (indicating that the camera is on) is. What level of backdooring would be required for <nefarious organization> to turn on the camera without turning on the light? Chip level, I assume?
You're thinking of Qwest.

It's arguable that Nacchio's non-compliance caused Qwest to sell to CenturyLink, but it isn't fair to say that Nacchio was the CEO of CenturyLink.
> Yeah, and iOS isn't following most of them.

I didn't mean to suggest that it was, I was trying to suggest a better focus for discussions of whether iOS design was following Microsoft in any substantial way than either "flat rectangles", or even "what bits seem generally similar to Win 8".

I filed a bug about poor integration of DDG with w3m (a console-mode browser) based on default placement of the search button in the tab order. I received a response within the day pointing me at the lite interface: https://duckduckgo.com/lite

... which works perfectly.

That said: these do tend to be somewhat hidden, and I didn't find them through the "Goodies" or "Settings" DDG pages just now. Hrm.
Yubikey does not store passwords, it generates them. It generates one time passwords for two factor authorization that expire very quickly. So if your password is stolen, the attacker would also need your Yubikey to generate a one time password that can be verified by Yubikey with your device. The Yubikey plugs in USB and acts like a keyboard typing in the password when you hit the button
I saw a documentary on a guy who has amassed the largest vinyl record collection in the world. The claim was made that 87% of all vinyl is not available on CD or other formats.

This is understood. The point I'm making is that I believe flat is not inherently better or even good. Its a fad right now that apple is using for a good half step to a realtime 3D UI.

Sku was teaching designers to fake dimension by hand, flat will aid them to getting to the point of texturing real 3D objects. And if you think iOS7 doesn't still use 3D space to make skumorphic metaphors you haven't looked at Safari' tabs yet.
Given how ubiquitous Androids, iOS, Kinect, OSX, and Windows devices are, no. Chances are if you are in any populated area, a camera (and perhaps more importantly, microphone, given that mics are omnidirectional) associated with one PRISM company being on you is extremely high. Glass would merely be a snowdrift on top of Everest.

Of course, it is important to note I don't believe PRISM is anywhere near as effective as many around here do.

"If there is no Creator, there are no unalienable rights.
Unfortunately discussions about God in the general tech community are virtually impossible. "

You consider that the creator has to be God. Why?

Imagine that an intelligent, very advanced extraterrestrial form of life created DNA, and life itself in planet earth.

It always amazes me how intelligent people could believe in evolution on earth totally isolated of the trillions of billions of galaxies out there. If you believe in evolution on earth(that just chaos and chance could create life), the probability that life itself was created outside earth is way higher.

Discussions of hard believes(sex, politics and religion) are very hard in any public heterogenous group. I remember when Reddit was occupied by atheist they believed they were free there, but that was only if you were atheist.

I see a lot of reference to Gildan shirts in their APIs. Might as well be dyed burlap.

I suspect that Apple define success with their own metrics. There are a few measures by which Apple is already the best - which areas do you think a Cook Apple might target? From the short Post-Jobs era, I'd say that Apple was more secretive, and quicker to acknowledge fault.

"They're supposed to target political organizations, because they don't qualify for the tax-exempt status."

This is untrue given that the former Obama campaign organization converted (and was approved) to change to a 501(c)4 and has the mission of advocating his 2nd term agenda.

This was political targeting just like what FDR did many years ago. Who actually approved it is the question.

Slightly pedantic, but it's even easier than that if you don't have any elements separating them - you don't even need the id:

> But communism was a made-up threat

I'll bet you haven't lived through or studied much 20th century history, because it appears you've not heard of:

- the brutal North Vietnamese conquest of South Vietnam, and its invasions of Laos and Cambodia in the process, to say nothing of the violent Communist takeovers in the latter two countries;

- the Cuban attempts to export armed revolution to Central- and Latin America, and then even Africa (viz., Angola);

- the North Korean invasion of South Korea in 1950;

- the Soviet Union's savage crushing of would-be democratic governments in post-war Eastern and Central Europe in 1945-48;

- Stalin's 1939 non-aggression pact with Hitler, widely thought to have been intended to let the Germans and the West fight each other to exhaustion, after which Stalin could have his way with Europe.

Sure, maybe deep down the motives were just nationalism dressed up in communist ideological clothing; poTAYto poTAHto.
Can you remember what that documentary was called? I would love to see that
I did a form that worked wonderfully... you entered a zip/postcode (first, before country and such).

The form would look it up in a background ajax call. It wouldn't tell you this or block your actions.
If it found a match in our DB, it would populate the city, country fields, not make a mess, and leave you free to edit the form if it was wrong. Your flow would be the same either way.

I think not interrupting the users flow was a big part of it.. it didn't make people go "What? How do I change that? What happened? That's not right".. you just kept filling it out like normal... with some fields pre-filled if you were lucky.

> We live in an age where flatter, more consistent UI designs are a necessity.

There's probably some specific scope of "necessity" which would make this something other than fairly extreme hyperbole, but its certainly not one which it is obvious is the intended scope of this posting.

Now, I would agree that I like fairly flat design, and I actively dislike skeuomorphism for the sake of skeuomorphism, since it tends to add visual clutter that doesn't contribute to (and often impairs) usability.

But that's a preference (there are people that like baroque UIs, and that's not objectively wrong), not a necessity.
No, but I'd be very surprised if it was better than Eclipse & Java, because Python is dynamically typed and generally less explicit (Java has access modifiers, standard annotations like @Override etc.).

My washing machine broke and I fixed it in 10 minutes with a $3 part ordered from Amazon. There was even a video on youtube showing how to do the repair.

It doesn't always work out this well. The heating element in my dryer broke. A new element would cost almost as much as a new dryer, so I got a new dryer.
ok, so I read the article and I see what you are saying now. Knee jerk reaction on my part. I guess they should have removed more of the real world references than they did.
WRT language selection and availability, I developed a small Rack gem `i18n_best_langs` that could be useful to web devs.

https://github.com/gioele/rack-i18n_best_langs

It picks up clues from various HTTP pieces (headers, URI) and generates a list of locales in order of possible user preference. It is then up to the web application to make good use of this list of preferences.

It is alpha quality but I would love some criticism about it from HN readers.
Carvoyant [1] makes a small device that plugs into your car's OBD2 port, and exposes the data through an API. It's somewhat similar to Automatic [2], but available now and has an API. I've got one in my car, but haven't had a chance to play around with the API yet.

Of course, the felony issue isn't an edge case in some states:

Your North Carolina example still stands, as only (only being relative here) ~80,000 people are disenfranchised due to felony status. But, in states like Florida, Mississippi and Kentucky, it can be as high as 10% of the voting age population.
It's not that simple. There's a minimum beam size, and passive optics won't let you alter that.

Ask HN: Product Recommendations from the HN Community?
My family and I moved into a new house recently and are slowly renovating it. We are currently in the market for a new dishwasher, and it occurred to me that I had no idea how to go about researching this purchase. If this was a television, computer or car, I would be fine. But doing a search on Google provided some odd results:

https://www.google.com/search?q=best+dishwasher

Consumer Reports is #1, an obviously spammy website is #2 and a Harvard Law blog post (WAT?) is #3. At this point I wished to myself that I could simply ask the HN community what dishwashers they recommend. I might even be willing to pay to have this kind of question answered by this community.

Your display setup?
I'm curious about the display setups people are using for programming and this is probably the place to ask. So, what's your setup? 2x 23" HD screens, one pivoted? A 27" 2560x1440 screen?

I'm especially curious if someone has tried an ultrawide such as the Dell U2913WM? It looks like an interesting setup for programming but then again it might not be. I find 2x 23" widescreens too wide for comfort so it might hit the sweet spot.
> "who the hell thinks carpet ... is a good idea in the bathroom?"

Even if the house doesn't have men, it presumably has women who bathe, or children who splash in the bathtub and aren't great at always making it to the potty, or toilets that occasionally clog, or any number of other ways to get gray/black water on the bathroom floor.

The other place I can't stand carpet is the dining room. Food has a way of finding the floor -- whether it's crumbs, meatballs rolling off the plate, or kids flinging spaghetti because it's funny.

If not, that's an awful lot of life to give up. What utility do you expect from doubling your cognitive ability? (Are the people you observe with far more cognitive ability than you always more happy/effective?)

Correct that this appears to be their argument, but that argument holds not a chance. Imagine if police searched houses randomly but "weren't allowed to use what they found unless they got a warrant." I believe this argument will be squarely and unanimously rejected by SCOTUS.

At the time, I had no good place to perform the job, my local store needed to order the radiator but the shop had one on-hand, and I had an impending house move that weekend. It was also due for an oil change, and I had a coupon to get that done at below-cost.
I wouldn't expect anything to change, governments will declare it illegal and that device will be the new drug.

In this case, I completely disagree for the reasons I cited.
i'm not convinced. the "high" of alcohol and benzodiazepenes is caused by GABA receptor agonism. the "high" of MDMA is caused by serotonin reuptake inhibition and dopamine release. the "high" of Ketamine is caused by NMDA receptor antagonism. the "high" of psychedelics like LSD or DMT are caused by a unique cocktail of selective agonism of serotonin, dopamine, and adrenergic receptor subtypes, and so on.

the one common element is that all "highs" are caused by ligands with very specific molecular properties binding to neurotransmitters. a headband will never be able to bind to a neurotransmitter.
Except everyone just lies to surveywall spam to get to the next page, so who knows if that's the case.
