No, DVDs. It got worse with every DVD player we bought, until we finally just gave up on DVDs entirely.
I actually switched to NewsBlur the second I first saw it, a few months before they announced they were killing Reader. I just find the interface much nicer to look at and less distracting.

Great! Let us know how we can help.

With the new name and logo, we wanted a brand that could grow with us as we build out more products beyond just picking files. Also, as we invest more resources in the design and user experience of our products, we didn't want the logo to not match the quality of the rest of the design.

Problem solved. Dan at Medium.com figured out that TypeKit doesn't do well when browsers are configured to not send referrer headers (e.g., in Mozilla, setting network.http.sendrefererheader to '0').

There's a comment thread here on this, but I figured I'd add a top-level comment about it.
I haven't tested all the cases but this method seems to win every time I've tested it against myself:

Start on an edge-center container [N,E,S,W], marking it with it's corresponding sub-board space. Employ the Orwin gambit to fill the initial edge container. When your opponent selects the last space in the first container, wherever you are sent: pick it's corresponding sub-board space and then employ the Orwin gambit again and then repeat the routine until the game is finished. Your opponent gets to pick your next moves but because they eventually must send you to a filled square on the second and third rounds, you have the ability to control the game's end.

Starting in the center gives you a tactical disadvantage because it only leaves you 4 paths to victory compared to your opponents 8 with him/her in a position affecting 4 lines, whereas by starting on a side piece, you have 7 paths to victory and your opponents position only benefits him on 2 lines.

Yes, it absolutely does. Life as a free person is dangerous, and being free necessarily means not being protected from potential harm caused by others. It means people are held responsible after the fact, but not restrained prior.
It is definitely an interesting idea.

- How do I moderate the questions?

- I lost the link to the event I created, is there a way to get it back?

- Should new questions appear live on my screen? (I opened two tabs entered questions, and Had to refresh the other tab to see the questions)

- What do you need users emails for? Apps that inform the user always make me feel better.

- Are you planning to have a listing of 'public' events on the main page for ease of access?
"The idea that we have robust checks and balances is a myth."

Albeit to be taken with a grain of salt, this is what I was supposing: you cannot have such a huge organization working "properly" on a day-to-day threat-response basis without some "elastic" access control. Even less if you are a contractor like B-A-H.

This, in a private entity, is less dangerous. You can have a lot of sysadmins with some access to Google's data because the data is properly partitioned and especially because there are no "targets". When each individual is a target, it is too hard to get proper partitioning.

Also, Google's employees have little to no incentives to make those data "public." And I guess direct access to the real emails is pretty hard: Google's money is not there but in the analytics. So internal anonymization may be not only performed but even easy to do. And this is good for Google & its clients.
So if starting tomorrow, you knew that your body only required you to sleep for one hour a night to maintain and repair itself instead of 7-8 you would continue sleeping 7-8 simply because you think its a good use of time?

I doubt it.

You might still lay around in bed on your days off, or you might stay in bed to procrastinate when faced with something to do that day, but arguing that it would still be a good use of time is extremely flawed.

From the article:

"On mobile, release cycles are different from the web, screen sizes are smaller impacting the user interface design, plus versioning is an important area to address."

They're doing tools for mobile. Hence the rebrand.

My Objective-C isn't great, but I'm willing to dust it off to try out the new products.

(Personally, I'm going to still develop for the web mainly, though. And do mobile apps as more of a intellectual exercise/fun).

I think most people would call the FISC an Article III court just based on the fact that historically the focus of "Article III-ness" has been on the independence of the judges, as a result of the Article III guarantees of lifetime tenure and non-diminishment of pay during service. At least one court of appeals has rejected the argument that the FISC judges are not article III judges because they serve limited appointments, because they are nonetheless U.S. district judges: https://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F2/807/807.F2d.787.85....

That said, I don't think Glidden v. Zdanok unarguably supports the idea that FISC is an Article III court (though Kerr doesn't claim it does), just because it is composed of article III judges. Glidden is actually about the opposite question: whether the judges were article III judges based on whether the Court of Claims and the Court of Customs and Patent Appeals were article III courts. And most of the analysis of Glidden focuses on things like the courts' ability to hear justiciable cases and controversies and to exercise the Article III judicial power. Under these criteria, you cannot call the FISC an Article III court because it can't even hear any cases and controversies, nor can it exercise the essence of article III judicial power (the power to render binding, final judgments with regards to matters affecting life, liberty, and property).

So I would personally call the FISC an Article I court staffed by Article III judges sitting by designation. But I worry it would be an idiosyncratic use of the term. In any case, whatever you call it, it is clearly not empowered to exercise even a substantial amount of the Article III power, which is the substance of my point. It can't put you in jail or take your property.
Ask HN: Learning HTML
Hello everyone. My girlfriend wants to learn HTML & CSS (she makes jewelry and wants to manage her website personally), and I was hoping you'd be able to help me out with a few recommendations.

The only stipulation is that they must be free to access. She is open to a variety of learning styles, so a wide range of approaches is acceptable, from step-by-step tutorials to videos.

I'm a web developer myself, but I've either forgotten a lot of the places that helped me when I first started out, or they just don't exist anymore.

Thanks again for your help.
The complaint wasn't about marketing tactics, or about LinkedIn's quality of service. The complaint was specifically about LinkedIn asking for the passwords to their users' email accounts.

As the author points out, LinkedIn doesn't have a very good track record on security, plus giving out your email password isn't a very good practice in any situation. Unfortunately, because of LinkedIn's clout among professionals, many people are unwittingly putting their online identities at risk.

In the end, the author doesn't close his LinkedIn account because of recruiters, but rather as a protest against this bad practice.

The website states that epub and mobi will be available soon. I assume that it will be made available to early buyers.
Most of these questions can be solved by a little "cookbook" that maps these use cases onto pieces of NaCl (and maybe scrypt). I understand we could then argue over the cookbook (though I don't know in practice how much we would), but it's nice that we're arriving at a place where the libraries are high-level enough that it's somewhat hard to screw it up with just a little bit of guidance.
Ask HN: Does the US accept that foreign governments monitor US citizens?
Much has been made of Obama's statement that the content of phone calls and emails of US citizens may not be monitored by the NSA. The implication is that this does not apply to the phone calls of non-US citizens. Does anyone know what the US governments official position (if any) on the surveillance of its citizens by foreign governments is?
It also doesn't seem like they've made any effort to combat this kind of blind spamming. I can't rate the quality of a blind inbound from someone I don't know (which is almost certainly from one of their paying customers.) And I can't see how others have rated that individual's communications in the past. So there's really little incentive for recruiters to be more judicious, and that's going to hurt LinkedIn eventually. (But obviously, those are also it's paying customers and most of us are just bait to attract them.)

We expect quality ratings when interacting on Ebay... shouldn't we get them on LinkedIn, which is just another type of peer-to-peer marketplace? They've created something similar with endorsements (for job seekers) but is there anything similar in terms of recruiters?

Ensure can be a meal replacement. It is a complete food. It is one of the products used to force feed people who are on hunger strike (and also anorexics detained under section of the mental health act in English psychiatric hospitals).

I'm not sure what you mean by the cost, flavour, and nutrient profile. It's a complete food. If you want more calories you use Ensure plus. If you need more protein you use the high protein product. If you want savory versions you use one of the savory varieties - here's chicken (http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/ensure-plus-savoury-chicken_1...).

The reason Ensure is sweet or highly flavoured is to encourage people to eat - these people are ill and need the nutrition.

A person eating only Ensure is not going to be any iller than someone eating either 'official Soylent' or 'open source Soylent' - and probably not as ill, because Ensure is created by people who know what they're doing, using quality assured ingredients and sealed in suitable packaging. This is important for Soylent to work on - I hope they include good packaging.

All the existing products tell you not to survive on a liquid diet without medical supervision. I take that be be a big sign that living on liquid feed is sub-optimal and needs to be done cautiously. Other people say it's a sign of an industry that can be disrupted.

My posts in this thread are trying quite hard to be constructive. I admit I find it difficult because I have strongly negative opinions about some of the Soylent product.
Can't provide any suggestions for where to go, but I do have one very strong recommendation as to where to stay away from, that being w3schools.com (w3fools.com).

Exactly the same as anyone else. If they have a problem with that then it's their problem.
The demographic of the site really feels like it has shifted in the years I've been here (this is my second account -- the first one was around for even another couple of years before).

In the past, I would say that most people on the site were successful doers, either working on startups or in tech. The focus was almost exclusively tech, with very little politics. But over the last few years it really feels like the tone has shifted in the anti-business, especially anti-big-business, direction. There are also a lot more commenters who seem to feel disenfranchized in the current system. And there are a lot of folks who seem to have a pretty pessimistic outlook and are ready to believe and upvote stories that confirm it. Not sure if these things are related or if it's just different groups of folks who have happened to become attracted to the site around the same time.

That doesn't mean the site is going down the tube, but it definitely has a different character than back in the old days.
Wow, offering to log into an account that holds contact information in order to retrieve those contacts and automatically invite them to connect with you. I'm glad the innovation will both start and stop here – it's a good thing MySpace never did this. Or Facebook. Or any one of a million other services. I'm not trying to detract from the potential severity of anyone actually going ahead and doing it, but OP, is this seriously the first time you've seen something like this? I'm very surprised.
This is totally the case. Back before it got Oracled, Solaris 10 zones were one of the finest things ever - and completely controllable in resource usage, with a few percent CPU overhead at most (for comparison, running ZFS takes more). Zones for Linux would win, comprehensively.

If you buy a VM on Amazon, you get to do your apt-get updates yourself. And yes, managing it is a PITA.
There's a big difference between examining the past for critical similarities to current events and exaggerating the current situation to make those connections closer than they are.

The former is important and useful, the latter is counter productive as the people that realize you are exaggerating then have a reason to discount everything you say without examining it to closely, as you've already shown yourself willing to manipulate to get your way.
The site states "PDF, Mobi, and ePub" but I can see only pdf download link. I'm a little disappointed.

>> LinkedIn leaked 8 million users' passwords less than a year ago, because they were storing them in the database in plain text.

The password leak from last year was really a leak of the password hashes. I'm pretty sure they didn't store passwords in plaintext.

I think the backlash was because they didn't salt the hashes and only used one iteration of SHA1 instead of a more appropriate hash function.

That being said, this doesn't really change the OP's point. Which was, "secure my ass"
Personally, I think Soylent is stupid.

Having said that:

> With like 40% of people too damn fat for their own good, I don't get how anyone sees a positive outcome for them.

So, Fat_Bob is at work. He's made the effort and had a good healthy breakfast. He knows when he goes home that him and his significant other are going to make the effort and eat a healthy dinner. But it's midday, and outside the office is a FatBurger, and opposite them is a GreasyJoes, and they both have special offers if you buy a 64ounce soda. So, Fat_Bob just slurps down a liquid nutrition drink. He knows he's got some kind of useful nutrition from it, and maybe it's enough to ease the cravings while he walks past FatBurger and GreasyJoes to get to the Carrot_Stick_Stall.

At least, I think that's what they're aiming for.
Really cool app. Are you planning to add an iPhone version?
My recent experience is the same sort of setup on Solaris 10 zones, moved about a year ago to Ubuntu VMs.

If I could do it all with Solaris zones, I would. The main problem for a hosting company is they would be hard to sell.
Can they remotely search your hard drive?
Ah, that makes it better. I didn't see anything when I got the files that said the other formats would be available soon.

Looking back at the site it only says it before you click buy. I didn't read the description before I started the checkout.
I agree, these things are the future.

Containers may be useful for single-tenant partitioning, but no one has managed to produce an OS kernel without an order of magnitude more local root security vulnerabilities than the HVM or PV virutualization systems.
I don't know if anyone noticed this, but LinkedIn didn't store their passwords in plain text. they were stored in SHA1, with no salt, which is as close to plain text as you can get without being plain text, but there is a difference :)
>It's surprising but the courts are not firmly on-board with the e-filing -- unless, of course, they think it wil make things easier for them.

As you noted this is for pro se parties, but otherwise not so surprising based on my personal experience, even for attorneys despite mandatory e-filing in many instances, local rules or more specific Judge rules require courtesy hard copies hand delivered to chambers in addition to the e-filing, such is the nature of 80-90 year old Federal Judges who have no intent on retiring and no intent to learn how to turn on a computer. In fairness, and I certainly do not want to come off as unfairly taking shots at the judiciary, I have met a few old timer Judges who could run circles around me on the computer.

That part rang true for me too. Completely agree that millenials are going to be disappointed with leaders representing the old culture.
Actually creating an add-on allowed a lot more than offering a simple web-site. Remember Feedly is not new, it's been out there for years. Back then, offering an add-on allowed them to lower the stress on their platform by allowing most of the network trafic to be directly between your browser and google's servers. Now they have migrated on their own Cloud platform, they will probably very soon offer a plain site version without the need for add-ons.
It's higher because of recency. It has fewer points.

Whoa, pardon my ignorance... got a link?
That's nice to hear 'cause I already started complaining. :) I'll update my comment.
Well that is what I hoped the article would cover in more detail :) That is, what actually works out of the box with LXC and what doesn't. As of 6-12 months ago I don't think the LXC on any distro was particularly secure.

AFAIK you have to add SELinux yourself, and all the PaaS providers are probably doing something custom (or not). The newer thing seems to be seccomp filters (http://lwn.net/Articles/494252/), which are motivated by ChromeOS. I would like to see a comparison; from what I can tell seccomp is a lot simpler conceptually, although there are fewer user space tools for it.

The article didn't actually say "LXC" but it seems to be what most PaaS providers are using. When I tried LXC, while lighter than VMs, it also seemed too heavy, because you end up with 5 or 6 processes (starting with an "init") for every process you want to run. Using just raw namespaces and cgroups seems to be feasible although again there are few tools to do that. Apparently systemd has support, although I don't use any distros with it.

Docker is also a new thing, but I think it is just on top of LXC, so it is only as secure as your distro's LXC is.

I use a lot (actually way too many) music creation apps. This looks really nice, but there are a few things that made me turn away after only a minute:

1) In order to use any instruments other than piano I need to like or share. I haven't even had a chance to build a song. As a user, I'm not comfortable enough to recommend your app to friends or endorse it.

2) There doesn't seem to be much available in terms of drums / bass. I might be missing something.

3) This is more of a nice to have, but customizing sounds through effects or parameters would be amazing and add to the diversity of sounds.

I really do love the interface. I think with a few changes you could be on to something great!
SF is a small region in a larger urban area. My guess is that you could easily single out dense, urban sub-regions in LA or Chicago that are as childless as SF. SF used to have more kids, but I'd guess that this used to be true of the dense, urban sections of other cities. The difference is, a kid who moves from urban chicago to suburban chicago is still counted in Chicago's stats.

Meanwhile, some districts in SF might have quite a high percentage of children compared to the average for areas of equal density. Not sure of this, but it would be interesting to see.
> The recent (say, last decade) disparity has been lack of mature containers on the platform of choice, which is Linux for most cloud-based projects. I don't know many people who would switch their projects to run on FreeBSD or Solaris just to use containers instead of VMs.

OpenVZ. VServer. Many people did that in the old days. Before Xen it was all about FreeBSD.
