Yeah, there were enough terms for it. The scarring this left in the popular consciousness is impressive though. More than twenty years later, the exact same phrasings are still being used occasionally, and with the same meanings, especially by older people.

The sorriest part is that today's teenagers don't notice it, or don't know it. and underestimate what's under the words. A couple of years ago I went to visit my parents and I went hiking. There was a group of secondary school students who were on a school trip with their teacher, an obtuse, uptight old lady who had probably missed a couple of anger management appointments. I wasn't travelling with them, we were just hiking on the same trail, but hearing her yell and shout was probably doable a couple of hike trails away, too.

I don't interfere with this -- I hated school and firmly believe in natural selection, so I leave it to kids to make the life of these people as miserable as possible -- but when she scoffed at two particularly dedicated malcontents, calling them the "most agitating elements of the classroom" and "hooligans" (the word is actually somewhat more politically-loaded, but untranslatable -- it's roughly similar with, but not quite, "hooligan"), I snapped and asked her if this assessment is going to go on the record she'll write (again, untranslatable -- what I used was slang for "are you going to write this in your signed declaration for the state security apparatus", as a couple of decades into the regime, it became well-known that some citizens were actually spying and reporting on their neighbours, colleagues and friends). The combination of hatred, surprise, and desperation at not being able to "write me up" or otherwise screw with me, since -- not being her pupil -- I wasn't subject to he whims was chilling.
Another point of view on the protests: http://abrazilianoperatinginthisarea.wordpress.com/2013/06/1...

This started because of a raise in bus fares, but the fact that more and more people are protesting has a lot to do with police brutality in repressing the first protests.

Most people in Brazil don't usually protest (nor actually fill complains when wronged), due to a variety of reasons.

But whenever there is a protest it is quickly classified into either: a) "just vandalism", or b) "peaceful protests".

For what the media/elite calls as 'a)', the typical Brazilian attitude is quite weird. Most people in Brazil have this very fascist view that police should be brutal with "criminals". Whoever they might be. As long as not themselves.

However, for the rarer cases where 'b)' happens (and is viewed as such by most people), which was the case here, it might be different. In the current case, police brutality backfired and became one of the main reasons for the escalation of protests and its spread to other cities.

PS: I'm a Brazilian citizen.
how egregious has Obama been in this regard? winning the Peace Prize while conducting wars? claiming that he is a promoter of transparency, when he's as secretive as any recent prez. claiming "hope & change" when nothing has changed at all and most people are lower on hope than ever? total Doublespeak.
This is true. However, in some cases, the short amount of time people think and talk about you is enough to cause permanent damage to your reputation/career/job/life.
Yes, it's similar to how some people claim Android is just a cheap knock-off of iOS despite the obvious philosophical differences. There's always a very vocal minority that put so much ego into their tech choices that make it very unpleasant to try to have a public discussion about the pros and cons of various platforms.
I had a similar thought two years ago when I bought my car. I test drove about 6 differen't cars in total, if it was not for the fact that the dealer at the showroom was a complete dick, constantly trying to sell me a loan scheme which I did not want, I might have bought it from the dealer.

Instead I used an online broker firm. As a result I got about £5,000 off the list price of a £20,000 car. The joke is two years later someone offered me £14,000 for it last month, this is due to the lack of cars which qualify for exemption from Londons Congestion Charging Zone.

Now whilst I would hands down recommend the sales service I recieved from the broker, I still value the fact I was able to try so many differen't cars.

I think that we could potentially see a new system for doing test drives, either as Tesla has, the manufacturer pays for booths, which will often lack local knowledge (dealers know what sells in their patch better than some top down management).

Or, and this could be the interesting one, some form of part time demonstraiters. People who get a heavily discounted lease or similar (who would want a stranger to ruin their own gearbox, lease would be the only option) with the agreement to be available for 10 hours a week of test drives or similar. Given a £30k car leases normally for about £400 pcm, 40 hours a month of demotime would be a fair trade, for what is ultimately a fairly un-skilled job.

We'll beef up the help doc (https://disconnect.me/d2/help) to clarify.
Haskell's record system (analogue of C's structs) has two major deficiencies.

1. Modifying a record value (that is, making a copy of a record value but with different values in one or two of its fields) is unnecessarily complicated and uncomposable. This makes modifying a subfield painful.

2. Field names are in the global namespace. Thus you cannot have e.g. a field named `map` (conflicts with the standard `map` function); nor a local variable named `owner` in the same scope that you use a field named `owner`; nor may two different record types both have a `name` field. C had this problem in the 70s (which is why e.g. struct tm has tm_sec and tm_min fields instead of sec and min fields), but they solved it a long time ago.

The solution to deficiency 1 is to use lenses. Use the lens package from Hackage, but don't read its documentation at first: it generalises the problem exceedingly well, but this makes it harder to understand at first glance. Instead seek out a basic tutorial. At the cost of a short line of boilerplate for each record type, this works well.

There is no satisfactory solution to deficiency 2. Some people define each record type in its own module, and import each module qualified. I don't think this scales well. I prefer to put a record-type prefix on each of my field names (i.e. the same thing C programmers were forced to do in the 70s).
It's against Apple's best interest in this case if the person they sold the machine to couldn't get their software to work. Then it's most likely a return and an unhappy customer.

When you help the customer get a solution they need then when they need a cell phone, want a music player for when they're at the gym, or are going buying kid a laptop for school they'll remember your service and consider Apple. That is in Apple's best interest.
The general critique against Applied Cryptography seems to be that it spends a lot of time high level meta-discussion and too little (or no) time on all the tiny little details that are so important to get right when designing crypto systems, and by doing so it leads to false sense of understanding. Basically it's a good book for non-practitioners to get up to speed on terminology and basic concepts, but not a good book for people who wish to actually design good crypto systems.

In the late 90's the book that I had recommended to be my academics in the field was Handbook of Applied Cryptography. It's a lot more academic and mathematical and not as mass market friendly is Applied Cryptography, but it is also a lot more accurate for people wanting a fundamental mathematical and theoretical grounding in what's going on.

I don't have numbers or sources to back it up, but in my experience at least, people who were satisfied with an entry-level model didn't keep track of newer models and weren't interested in "upgrading" unless the thing was about to die or there were substantial benefits.
I wish you the best, too, along with Aaron.

I've occasionally asked other people what they thought the worst problem in the world was. Nobody has ever answered with my answer: that all of our loved ones are going to die. The utter inevitability of death within a few decades of birth is so thoroughly taken for granted that people are vastly more concerned about the NSA or carbon dioxide than about literally saving the lives of everyone they care about.

We need a working backup and recovery plan for people as soon as possible. How soon it will happen will probably depend a great deal on how soon a critical mass of people can be made to see it as an actual engineering problem urgently requiring a solution.
I agree that you don't always know when you purchase something what you're going to use it for. I got the 16GB iPad and never ever expected to run out of storage space. I didn't know about all the great games you could play on it, and how that (together with ebooks and other stuff) really adds up. If someone had asked me what I'd use it for back then, I would have answered "web browsing and reading ebooks". That changed in the first couple of months though. In hindsight I really wish I had at least 32GB.

A similar thing goes for the laptop/desktop example given above. I recently bought a laptop for my parents and the salesperson tried to talk them out of it as well, because they weren't going to travel with it. I think a laptop (with an external screen if it is used a lot) is so much more useful for most people than a desktop, simply because of it's portability inside their home, even without any travel. Now they can sit next to their partner instead of in the separate computer room upstairs. Or (if there was no computer room upstairs) they can put it in the closet when they're done and don't have a big computer taking up space in the living room all the time. And it's way easier to take it with me on public transport if there's something wrong with it. I really felt that the "are you planning on taking it with you while traveling" is the wrong question when it comes to deciding between desktop and laptop, especially for most people when the extra power that a desktop gives is totally insignificant for word processing and web browsing. A laptop (not a top of the line one) was definitely the best option for my parents, and I'm glad I was there so that the salesperson did not succeed in talking them out of that with the best of intentions.
The FISA court isn't meant to be a public courtroom, hence it's location isn't public. Sorry but HN has jumped the shark lately with all of these NSA related posts, they seem to just be slapped together to elicit some kind of knee jerk outrage.

I bought a base level MBA 13" 2 years ago. 5 weeks before the refresh to Core i series, and I've lived with it since and it's been an interesting experience.

At the time it the specs seemed reasonably good, but a 1.86Ghz C2D with 2GB of RAM and 128GB SSD aren't exactly fantastic in modern context. However, I've found I need significantly less resources than I used to think I needed and in general I only bump up against it when I've got multiple XCode windows open, with the iOS Simulator running, with Sublime, Spotify, a fully stocked Chrome and so on.

I'm buying a new MBA some point in the next few weeks, and with the exception of the SSD (I don't really need the 500GB option) I'll most likely max everything else. I know I don't need the headroom now but I'm going to spend somewhere in the region of £1.4k on a machine for me now, and then I'll have a new laptop for my girlfriend in 2 years time, and she'll get 2 years use out of it. I don't think 4GB of RAM in 4 years time is going to cut it given that just web browsing alone these days uses so much.

The great thing about Apple products is that for the most part, they're very, very hardy machines. I have a MacBook (plain, old boring MacBook) that's nearing it's 7th year in service. With no upgrades. Spending £210 now adds another couple of comfortable years of use, and that's worth it to me.

My own take on it is different again - as far as I see it the job of technical lead on a project is take ensure that the right technical decisions get made and to ultimately take responsibility for those decisions. Yes, I could directly override people and tell them to do things - but if I ever did that then IMHO I would have failed.

A lot of my job is asking questions, making suggestions and proving (when necessary) that something can actually be done. [I love it when someone utters a phrase starting "There is no way to...."]

Cross reference with something from the Snowden Q+A yesterday:

US Persons do enjoy limited policy protections (and again, it's important to understand that policy protection is no protection - policy is a one-way ratchet that only loosens) and one very weak technical protection - a near-the-front-end filter at our ingestion points. The filter is constantly out of date, is set at what is euphemistically referred to as the "widest allowable aperture," and can be stripped out at any time. Even with the filter, US comms get ingested, and even more so as soon as they leave the border. Your protected communications shouldn't stop being protected communications just because of the IP they're tagged with.

This implies they hoover all data direct from fibre, but with a 'front-end filter' that restricts what is hoovered based on IP address or some other (vague, often inaccurate) marker.

Women (especially significant others) tend to want you to agree with them, not with the person they're complaining about.

Don't give an objective analysis of the situation with an account of the other person's point of view, especially if your wife or girlfriend is in the midst of emotionally venting. It won't be appreciated.

Once she's cooled off and feels listened to and heard, then you can start to reintroduce logical analysis and 'what was the other party thinking and why did they do what they did'. But not right away.
Because in the long term it is not working against their best interest. If I know that a store will not try to sell me stuff that is a poor match to my needs, then I know I can trust that store. When I go into a store that tells me to buy a piece of equipment that doesn't match my needs, or a T-shirt in a colour that looks terrible on me, I often find out later and tell my friends.

People rave about Apple downselling and Amazon allowing low score reviews on their products because in the long run its good business.
This was my first impression too. Especially when viewing the Readme for a project it's much narrower and feels more squashed. They seem to of focused on the project owner use case and ignored the project user use case.
Google wants VP9 to be the default
But why is the FISA Court secret? What? They think the terrorists will get mad they allow the US government to spy on all Americans?

Come on. Let's be real here. There's only one real reason for that, and that's because they don't want the normal public to know just how far the spying and skirting of the Constitution goes.

A country with secret courts and secret laws and rulings is not a free country.
It's distressing, because the way that felonies and whatnot are handled nowadays, there does seem to be a rough approximation of this sort of black book phenomenon.
I think the idea is really great, and I'd love to "subscribe" to a care package to help my confused and sometimes lazy self out. However, I don't think the products you're including in the package are worth the deal. I've been buying toothpaste, deodorant and popcorn all my life, why would I suddenly need a care package now that I'm in college? I think you should really get down to the "hard" problems that (new) college students are facing. Problems like, "how do I budget my money?", "what should I do when I have [ illness / disease / ouchie] and mom isn't around?", "how / where can I (discreetly) get intimate hygiene items?". The last point could be an entire business on it's own. Basically, what are the products that I could really use as a freshman in college and what are the products I'm not comfortable going to the store for.
Could also be habit?

The media could help here, by instead of using the administration words in their articles, they'd be using their words - the normal words.

Also, at every press conference where they say "entities", they could ask, do you mean "people"? Or something along those lines. The people in the media are American citizens, too. It would help if they'd try to defend their own rights, too, instead of being nice to the government, which they are supposed to keep in check.

Hey,

A couple of months ago, I created a new bookmarking service (http://anunnaki.me) as an experiment. Here's more about the idea and how the service works: http://is.gd/ySjKxM (Alternatively, you can watch this video for quicker introduction: http://is.gd/GqgXsW).

Till now, here's what I've got:
- Around 60 active alpha testers whom I have chosen carefully to test the system.
- Around 500 on the waiting list, 200 of which have shared their comments on why they would like to use it and how it could help them in their daily activities.
- +19000 Saved Bookmarks (from the 60 active users).
- I'm getting 50 new waiting list signups on average every month.

There are many ways the can be improved and I've received some amazingly detailed feedback from people currently using Anunnaki that I would very much like to implement in the system.

As I'm fairly new to this (this is the first project that I work on that gets this much traction). What's the best, most logical, next step?

Notes: 1) I'm doing this part time. 2) I don't live in the US.

Thanks!
Oh I don't know, we might end up with a better world...

With modern FPGAs, you have the CPU on the same chip, which means you can use just one chip and then it's OK for cost-sensitive devices - and your problem of moving data across chips is gone as well.

I'm not an "FPGA enthusiast" myself - I work in chip design and Xilinx is a direct competitor. I think FPGAs have their share of problems preventing their adoption and I'll write a follow-up to elaborate. But the problems you mention are between solvable and solved.

(BTW it's true for GPUs just as well: just integrate them on the same chip, and forget about the PCI slots. Every high-end to mid-range cell phone has done it a long time ago.)
I can see it if I put in https; Thanks.

I think this is a good analogy. I was involved with indie bands in the 90s and startups now (disclosure: I work on Disconnect, a Ghostery alternative) and have been saying how much the scenes are alike.

But the band - I mean, startup - has to take some responsibility. In this case, I think they have to take a lot of the responsibility. When you sell your startup to a company called Better Advertising (Evidon's name before switching), can you really be surprised when the company starts selling your users' data to advertisers?
