There is no monolithic "culture" of which all humans are members and of which all women are treated as subservient objects. There are in fact many overlapping cultures throughout humankind and there is a staggering array of diversity among them in all kinds of dimensions.
1. I'm in the industry. It has more to do with pooling of risk than bulk processing, but same idea more or less. Insurers can and do rock the boat all the time, but around the core players their nature is to be conservative. Check out HSCA plans for an example of innovation here.

2. That's your plan, not the carriers themselves. Both offer everything from nothing to 100% coverage. Sounds like you have a pretty low end plan. Seriously, talk to your employer about an HCSA... you can use it to pay deductibles and it is designed exactly for plans like yours.

3. The company won't stop paying for it though, because they want the $60k they'll get if I die or am permanently disabled.

Pretty sure this isn't happening. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's not even legal. They may have an additional benefit as part of their general insurance policies (key man, etc.) but all the payout for a life/add claim goes 100% to the people you've designated as a beneficiary.

5. Getting 15k-20k of CI for under $10 a month is the average rate. That's probably less than you spend on coffee. Given your LTD is probably about as good as the 75% EHC you have, I'd look into it. Nothing like not having to worry about expenses when(if) you get sick. Covers everything from heart attacks to cancer. You can usually insure your spouse too.
Yeah, if Republican Judges fall in line with a Democratic Executive, how will make it "more diverse" really improve anything?

25,000 is a huge number because they were bumble bees, which exist in hives of hundreds of individuals (unlike honey bees, which can have tens of thousands).

The story in a sentence is "Exterminators drench tree in mixed insecticide, kill thousands of insects from the tree and surrounding area". It has little to do with colony collapse disorder.
"It's fun when it happens spontaneously"

You do, of course, realize the absurdity of your statement here, given this:

"Without a clear verbal confirmation of consent, or an explicit proactive action, you cannot know if your partner is participating willingly."

How does that work, exactly?
Doesn't Greenwald have Snowden's entire document cache? I assume that it's (primarily, at least) Greenwald who's choosing what to report and when.
I find it interesting as a user and big fan of BSD systems, but what I wonder about is if it will bring back to the project some work that has been done there, like support for AMD devices, or, even better, chance for alternative OS in form of FreeBSD. Very unlikely, but that'd be cool, indeed!
Any experience on what are good rates?
Funny enough, that is exactly how I found the problem. I created a www account (I am almost ashamed to say that was my first instinct, try to break the system before you decide the system is worthy of your use). I ended up logging out and I couldn't log back in with the same password. In hindsight, someone must have created another www account after I did and before I tried to login again. I then tried creating another www account and it worked. I then logged out and tried registering with a different username twice just in case www was a special case. The same thing happened, the second account just replaced the first account.
Open your email inbox. It is already there :)
No API? Sigh. It could be a nice backing host for a through-the-browser CMS – a little OAuth, a little CORS, and it could work pretty nicely.

I just fixed it. It was a change I did last night to fix a save bug. My apologies about that, it wasn't a good bug, but hopefully it's the last security-related one. Probably goes without saying, but this is definitely a beta project. I'm doing a lot of other things to protect this kind of attack (filename scrubbing, bcrypt passwords), so I'm pretty red in the face about how dumb this one was.

If you find any other bad bugs, please let me know (@kyledrake on Twitter) instead of, you know, trashing other people's work. I'm finding the duplicate sites right now and taking care of it. Thanks, and again my apologies.

This is not an email phishing expedition. I don't even require you to enter your email address to make a site.
Through the captcha on the registration page?

Recaptcha might not be enough in the long run, but it will be enough in the short run.
Agreed about the pre-planning. Organized a 50 day trip through Europe once, had every flight and hostel booked for all 50 days + got a rail pass, then ended up having to reshuffle things around 20 days in once we realized we had way overplanned, wanted to leave the city we were in several days before we had planned, and really preferred to figure things out as we went along.
There is no way that it become notable. bcrypt is precisely designed to be slow and greedy in computational power.

So adding an extra md5 hashing is totally insignificant (in term of computation).
Shameless plug: 3Scan [1], a company spun off from a university in Arizona (if I'm not mistaken) and partially funded by Peter Thiel's Breakout Labs grant is making a robot that is capable of doing this entire procedure with absolutely minimal human involvement.

They can already do a full 3d map of blood vessels and neurons (with stains) in a mouse brain within a few days and store it on a TB hard drive (I'm told an equivalent for the human brain would be a petabyte but their slices might be thinner). This is a procedure that would take months if not years to do by hand (they do a full analysis on all of the slices to reproduce a 3d model afterwards).

This paper was done mostly by hand but soon we'll be able to do it quickly and automatically.

"I see the biggest nerd in the world getting his first chance at making out with a girl when he awkwardly stops and says, "Do you consent to fornication at this time?""

Been there, done--basically--that. Damnedest thing; wouldn't you know that it didn't have the intended effect?
Uh why? Those "facts" really have very little at all to do with it. It's not like if you change them to all Dems that suddenly it changes. It doesn't.
There is no obvious fact of the matter about "exactly what consent is, and what women (as a whole, obviously it varies from individual to individual) see as acceptable, expected behavior". Your own words contradict themselves; should we research what women "as a whole" think or judge or should we research individual women? Should we consult you personally if there is any disagreement or conflict among the results of these two lines of research?
> Without a clear verbal confirmation of consent, or an explicit proactive action, you cannot know if your partner is participating willingly.

> Did you expect me to disagree with this?

I don't understand. Why did you bring it up if you didn't think it was okay for your partner to make an explicit proactive action without clear verbal confirmation of consent?
Does this consent have to be verbal, or does active participation count? (e.g. Kissing back, tugging at or removing your clothing, unzipping your fly, etc)

To me, those are clear evidence of a desire to progress toward sex. (Obviously, if she says stop, do so.)
>You do not get to treat a group of people as property for thousands of years

Ignoring the fact that your scenario is absurd hyperbole, and men had things just as shit as women did, the you in question wasn't involved. Nobody in this discussion ever owned a woman. Pretending they committed some horrible crime to justify your prejudice is pathetic.
> Yes. It goes both ways, regardless of gender. Did you expect me to disagree with this?

Well, the only thing I can say is that I'm glad I live in Europe, where people are still normal and not yet so frigid/distrustful that they need to talk about everything before they do it.

The amount of dilution the current shareholders will have to swallow for $100M in investment is an extremely high price to pay to get into bed with an investment bank.
What are YOU looking at? I pulled open the link and searched for "permission". It's the second use of the word. The entire passage is right there.
I bet you irrigate your lawn with potable water which takes energy to purify. So you're wasting clean water to maintain a furry green carpet (try some FieldTurf or native plants) that serves no purpose since it doesn't feed you (grow some vegetables) or act as that good of a carbon sink.
The TL;DR is, quote:

"The GCHQ mass tapping operation has been built up over five years by attaching intercept probes to transatlantic fibre-optic cables where they land on British shores carrying data to western Europe from telephone exchanges and internet servers in north America."
In CloudI, each service request is a transaction to be processed (with a UUID that is unique for all service requests among the connected CloudI nodes). Filesystem storage of transactions isn't a goal here, since transactions are expected to die when errors occur within services (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transaction_processing_system). Instead, database usage through CloudI services (or within a CloudI service) provides persistent storage.
A good shop is clean. Not hospital room clean, not eat-off-the-floor clean, but clean. Floors swept and rinsed, fluids captured in drain pains, etc.

The Three.js project has really shit documentation for most things, but they have scrupulously-maintained examples for their library which serve to answer most questions.
How about the millions of people who didn't complain? Just because a handful of people who literally spend their entire lives seeking things to be offended by complained about something, doesn't mean their opinion is the majority, or more valid than anyone else's.
China threatens death penalty for serious polluters
Basically, building real-time fault-tolerance support on top
of the JVM is by definition impossible, because the JVM
itself is not fault-tolerant.

This isn't strictly correct. The article talks about the big difference between the JVM and Erlang being a shared heap vs multiple heaps, but really, it just comes down to coding. There is nothing stopping you from using message passing and immutability in the JVM, and many libraries (eg Scala Actors) do exactly this.

So it's definitely not impossible to build fault tolerance on the JVM.

Also the diagram showing Erlang acting on any number of CPUs while Java is somehow limited to 2 CPUs is simply a marketing lie and is very unnecessary. The JVM can scale happily to any number of CPUs, as it piggy backs off native OS threads, which in linux/windows both scale to any number of CPUs.
RESTless?
Steve Jobs considered K-12 education the final frontier untouched by modern technology. It's time for that to change.

The problem: Schools today run on legacy infrastructure that is nearly impossible for hackers to build software for.
We're on a mission to replace the terrible things that developers have to do today (think nightly CSV FTP transfers) with APIs that feel more like Facebook's or Stripe's. E.g. https://getclever.com/developers/docs/

Clever is a team of 10 in San Francisco. When we started a year ago, 4 schools used Clever. Today, Clever is used by 5,000 schools, making it the fastest-growing company in education. We're looking for talented hackers who want to help us build Clever into something every school, student, and teacher relies on.

A sampling of the tools we work with daily:

- Javascript (Node, Backbone)
- Python (Fabric, Salt, Buildbot)
- mongoDB
- Gearman
- Logstash
- AWS (EC2, VPC, S3, R53, SES)

Tools we're experimenting with as we scale:

- Go
- Postgres
- Riemann
- Angular

What Clever offers:

- Challenging problems in architecting and scaling
a developer platform and school-facing product
- Significant equity stake in a well-funded company
- Flat and close-knit engineering team
- Beautiful office with absurd natural light
- Great benefits: healthcare, dental, unlimited
Amazon budget, free lunch, etc.

Sound interesting?
Take a look at our sandbox API and see if you can figure out the average number of students per section: https://getclever.com/developers/docs/

So trying to kiss a girl that you've been out on several dates with is sexual assault?
It's occurred to individuals smarter than myself that projects rise and fall on the strength of their documentation, almost as much as that of their code.

For example, see Django vs. Turbogears or Pylons.

Documentation matters, a lot, despite its relative unsexyness.
Actually the point is that how you ask the question determines the answer, both from a desire point of view and from a consent point of view.
1) Power imbalance exists in general between men and women, in favor of men

2) Rapists and society at large often blame rape victims for not resisting enough. Rapists do not have a problem with a lack of consent and relying on victims to stop their own assault is completely unacceptable. The kickstarter project in question advocated for physically violating actions to be undertaken by would-be assaulters and put the burden of stopping assault on victims and should this kind of thing should never be supported period.
I had thought I heard at some point that one of the big objections (by airlines and/or the FAA) wasn't really interference, but that takeoff and landing are the most "risky" points of a flight, and if there's anytime passengers should be paying attention, it's then.

That being said, if there's an emergency, I'm sure people will perk up, iPhone or not :)
That is awesome and disgusting. On a tangent, it reminds me of the 'US Govt making money from federal reserve profits' talking point. Yeah sure, just as one would gain reward points by growing a credit card balance... you're not the one making the real profit (Goldman Sachs).
> When I think of the little scene you've played out there occurring, I see the biggest nerd in the world getting his first chance at making out with a girl when he awkwardly stops and says, "Do you consent to fornication at this time?"

...really? Sure, whatever, let's go with it. If that's the only way you know how to figure out consent, that's what you need to say. And I bet it will work more often than not, too. The solution is to teach people better ways to find out if their partner consents, not to say it doesn't matter.

But a fifteen year old kid is likely not going to have a great first time no matter what. If you can't imagine a sexually active adult talking about sex in a sexy way, that's very much your problem.

> Frankly, your advice makes you sound unbelievably young and inexperienced with women. I have yet to meet a woman that wants you ask permission for every stage of a sexual relationship. In fact, every woman I've talked to about the subject has told me that it's specifically unwanted.

I'm not here for the dick waving contest, but suffice it to say my experience is not just with talking to women.
The kickstarter was for publishing a book, not paying someone to assault people.
Really? Please. Read the damn quote:

Every woman you flirt with. Touch them immediately. Be shameless in your physicality. When a girl rejects your advances, she knows that you desire her, and it arouses her physically and psychologically.

Stop trying to evade what the quote says and trying to find some legalistic way of misreading its plain meaning.
EdRepublic: Search, Browse & Save Online Programming Courses
Yes, because women, funnily enough, are individual human beings with their own tastes and desires.
I don't believe you have actually understood the arguments put forth against your position, even if you have read the comments, but please even if you disagree with us, don't go around and mindlessly brand us as evil (or "you have a problem"). It only needlessly devides and cheapens the discussion.
No one serious is saying it is uniquely responsible. Just that the more sugar and starch eaten, the less time the body can stay in fat-burning mode, which is well known. Perhaps the obese-hypercaloric would have lost more with less sugar.

All the other variables and laws of physics still apply.
You can try to have fault-tolerance in the JVM, but not real-time fault-tolerance, and there is a difference. The goal is to have decent performance while being fault-tolerant. The JVM garbage collection prevents real-time fault-tolerance when using an Actor model within the JVM.
Brilliant actually. Look at all the people talking about his book now.
Growth Hacking: Stop the BS.
That is a fact, but it's misleading in this context. Most human staple foods are cereals (grass seeds), none of which are bee pollinated. If you took only the top 10 crop species which account for ~80% of human calorie provision, 0% are bee pollinated.

We could very easily survive without bees, but there would be a lot less fruit and many fewer wildflower species.
Regarding "fire in a crowded theater", I don't see how it's any less relevant that it was in the past, regardless of the context it was first used in. The concept is that I say something false in order to cause a panic and through the panic cause harm. (Admittedly I only skimmed the article linked. If I missed where the article specifically addresses this, I apologize.)

Regarding the second point, the "imminent lawless action", this is where having a good lawyer would come in to play. It's a matter of definitions and arguing for a definition to side your way.

Kickstarter might not be breaking any constitutional laws, but that doesn't prevent them from being sued or even having a judgement declared against them. Again, this goes to the use of a good lawyer to make arguments for defining the role Kickstarter played. Are they an active participant, or just a neutral 3rd party (like perhaps a bank where a criminal stored stolen money).

I'm not saying that this is the only reason, or even the main reason that Kickstarter wants to prohibit something like this. I'm only saying that I believe legal liability is a legitimate concern in this case.

I actually think that's sort of the brilliant part. You end up watching it all 3 or 4 times. 1st time = 70% catch, 2nd time = 90%, 3rd time = 100%, 4th time = just to be sure. Nice way to hammer it into your brain 4 times!
Well startup and active sales is a tough one...
If you’ve been making out, fondling, and fingering her for a while, asking her if she wants to have sex is going to make you seem obtuse.

She’s been standing in line at an ice cream truck, it’s finally her turn, and now you, the guy behind the counter, are asking her whether you should make her some ice cream. ’No, I’m here to get movie tickets!’
Recently one of the pediatric residents at my hospital was found watching child pornography in the call room. After being reported, the institution did nothing about it, and tried to sweep it under the rug. It bothers me that a prestigious academic institution would rather save face than to deal with a serious issue at hand.
You're forgetting about corporate accounts. They pay through the nose for something no other tool does right now (at least not as well). Nothing else I've used in the corporate space works as well as Github, especially for code reviews. It's also more expensive than anything else, too. The only problem we saw was it didn't handle large repos very well. And by large, I mean 20+gb. Don't look at me like that, storing every asset in a large 3d game in github made sense at the time!

No, it didn't, we were just lazy.

I could not help but notice the name of the current presiding Judge John D. Bates not included in the list. This link to the FISC Court rules names Judge Bates on the Cover: http://www.uscourts.gov/uscourts/rules/FISC2010.pdf

Judge Bates was originally nominated to the bench by GW Bush and obviously appointed to FISC by Chief Justice Roberts. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Bates)

Definitely not true. We don't depend on bees for any staple food. Fruits are the primary crops that require bee pollination.

I have a hard time doing that with a car full of adults. (Though, to be fair, the cases I'm thinking of involved musicians.)
Not only does this trigger GeoCities nostalgia, it calls back to the days when betas were really betas.
That advice is also for after you've been (consensually) kissing, fondling, fingering, etc.

At some point the meaning of "sexual assault" will be so diluted it's meaningless.
A few of the recently leaked items, including a new one today, are UK centric. I'm sure that is aimed at trying to get the story to blow up again on the other side of the ocean.

Ask HN: Most inspiring books?
What was the most inspiring book you have ever read?
It obviously makes sense in this case, given the novelty value of it - it being on the frontpage of HN - but I think there's a better alternative for the frontpage of a service's website.
A couple more eyebrow-raising tidbits:

"One key innovation has been GCHQ's ability to tap into and store huge volumes of data drawn from fibre-optic cables for up to 30 days so that it can be sifted and analysed. That operation, codenamed Tempora, has been running for some 18 months."

"UK officials could also claim GCHQ "produces larger amounts of metadata than NSA"."
It's kind of like Iron Man 3
See, this is exactly the sort of ridiculous, reactionary nonsense at the heart of these crusades. No, touching someone's shoulder is not rape. You may define yourself as the moral minority, selflessly protecting everyone from imaginary evils, but your opinion is a tiny, minuscule, insignificant minority. Virtually everyone disagrees with you.
