Actually I think it'd get you a processor design instead. Dereferencing it once would get you machine level instructions.
Facebook Is 'Appalling Spy Machine' (VIDEO)
He's one of the gentlest people I know. If Woz is up in arms, something is really going on.
I think this video was already on the front page a few days ago?
I can vouch for there being brilliant engineers.

I recently went to an ACM ICPC practice week in Zurich. The teams present were mostly evenly matched, except for the Russians. They kicked ass completely. They won every single day by a long way.
Yes, he's in Portland from last I heard.
Steve Jobs had such a way with words. I personally love this quote:

"This is not a field where one paints a painting which will be looked at for centuries...This is a field where one does his work and in ten years it is obsolete."

I loved the metaphor:

"It's sort of like a sentiment of rocks. You're building up a mountain and you get to contribute your little layer of sedimentary rock to make the mountain that much higher. No one will see it, but they will stand on it."

I think this is so true. Tech is about building on what others have done. Picking up where on person left off. It's a never ending cycle.

I also like the line "it'll be appreciated by that rare geologist". In 100 years when historians are looking back on the tech boom that we are currently living in, it'll be very interesting to see what goes down in history books as the most influential invention, device, software etc that really started this revolution.
My comments here are 100% from my own perspective. I don't pretend to speak for anyone else. I hope that is ok with you.
This isn't any better than using Google's DNS, your ISP's or OpenDNS directly. All your requests eventually go through a central location where they can be logged. Better to install your own caching dns server so they at least can't do traffic analysis on your repeat requests.
We've seen this twice in two days now. Facebook is blocking Tor except that maybe they're not. MySQL is now under a new license, except it's not. The alarmist headlines not waiting for a response from the newly-damned organization, instead issuing a retraction after everyone has freaked out.

Will the tech community ever get past the manufactured controversy and knee-jerk reaction we lambast the mainstream media for?
It would be much better to not trust Internet services with your security, because you'd still have to trust them.

A better solution would be to add your own encryption on top of all of your communications, and to toss out your cell phone. Patterns can still be created by what websites your IP visits (or any VPN exit that is linked to you), who you contact, and where you go. Deploying a relatively secure communications system ends up with you talking to a few people "securely", but not anonymously.

It also depends on how much you trust your OS (Microsoft has been working with the NSA since 2007, in what ways, we may never know).
There's enough press about megaupload that most people who would care could find it at any other domain chosen. If he does reopen it, I hope he doesn't forego the opportunity to also register "thesiteformerlyknownasmegaupload.com".

It's not like we don't have at least one case study in what you can do if the name you normally do business with is no longer available to you...
A few more Steve Jobs videos here:

Remember, it's a slogan, and slogans only exist to establish a brand. Is Coca-Cola really the "real thing"?
It defaults to OpenDNS because they have been sponsoring development and run the only publicly available DNSCrypt resolvers.

You are free to modify the code for the clients to point to your own server, setup your own server using the proxy code provided, or configure your authoritative DNS servers to talk securely to OpenDNS and protect the entire chain using DNSCurve (which DNSCrypt is based on).
At a fundamental level the questions we have to answer are:

What does it mean to be free?

What is the proper role of government in that context?

What do we allow government to do in that context? What are their limits?

This, in a way, is what I feel is lost.

As a simple example: Why is it that a total stranger (TSA) can touch every part of your body and even have you strip searched just because you are travelling? Why is it that I, as a parent, can't tell that person to keep his/her hands off my little girl? What happened to the presumption of innocence?

At any US airport you are presumed guilty and have to demonstrate your innocence by being subject to search and seizure (swiss army knives, shampoo, etc. taken away --your property).

This TSA problem is an analog of the surveiilance problem. The vast majority of the people logging 1.6 billion person-trips per year [1] are not terrorists. Yet, 100% of them are presumed guilty and subject to search and seizure. And we allow it.

Now we have a situation where 100% of Americans are presumed to be potential terrorists in the future [2]. Based on that
We now justify logging and tracking your every move and every communication.

Steve Wozniac is right, this is what we were told others did to their population, not us. We were above that, better than that. Right.

Ah I fully agree. I misunderstood your post to say you should never use a user name as a key.
The Guardian software team's development flow
I agree, we can't let this issue fizzle away, which is probably what the some politicians are hoping for. The encroachment on our natural rights is far to important, especially to us, since we can all grasp the gravity of collecting even the most seemingly trivial data, whereas the general public does not.
Plenty of other places to talk politics, if that's what you want.
to me vimperator isn't just about having a few vim bindings here and there, it completely redefines the browsing experience... also, when you "f" to find links, you can just enter a piece of the url string and vimperator opens it.. either way, it doesn't matter much..

vimium is a lightweight clone of vimperator, if that's what you want then of course you'll prefer it..

these "problems" you're talking about in vimperator are features once you actually embrace it and use it properly. it's a power user's tool.. and should be recognized as such..

> however, my stomach churns equally at the notion of people thinking they grew up in a country so much different than it is today. It does not matter how far you go back there have always been these kinds of governmental abuses

I think you get it wrong. Because even if they were abuses before, they were clearly illegal and you could make a case against them.　Now, they enact laws to make constitutional rights null and void.　It's way worse because it opens up the Pandora box on all new kind of abuses with no way for the Law to protect yourself.
Here in Brazil (at least in some cities) we have the worst of both worlds... you pay for it, and there is not enough space... it is a complete crap. No wonder so many people are on the streets manifesting against it.
Re-reading this thread it looks like I had originally meant to reply to the comment further down - this one:

The App Store is openly hostile to freedom, let alone FOSS.

Why I retracted my Nature paper: correcting the scientific record
Chromium is inferior in certain respects, such as lacking an integrated PDF viewer.
My criteria are different from this guy's. My baseline requirements are: OSS, maximum configurability, minimum conflict of interest on the part of the vendor.

A proprietary product of a data-mining company? Seriously? It's comical that the writer even bothers to mention "security" in such an unsecurable context.

Moz + Noscript + Request Policy is not perfect, but a lot closer to my ideal than Chrome.
That is the meaning of the word "free", though: no charge for the exchange. A store gives a "free sample" of cheese, for example, when they offer pieces of cheese to customers without charging them. The Dropbox "free tier" gives you a certain amount of storage space "for free", i.e. without you having to pay a fee. It does not imply that the cheese or the storage space materialized out of thin air without using anyone's resources.
If you've got statistics that show asm.js is equal or better including compilation time, I'm sure lots of people would like to see them.
"Ultimate Steve Jobs Collection" (71 videos)
I like the idea but I'm not sure I would subscribe to this business model. It's confusing.

IMO, you need to simplify what you are offering and be extremely clear and up front about your plans. If you want to make money, charge for it. Your vision reminds me a lot of app.net ... maybe you can go there and see how they structure their copywriting.

If you are only going to fetch at best every hour, you're making a hard case for me to not just build my own feed fetcher. There are lots of open source libraries that do this.

I don't believe you, I just spend the last 30 minutes looking through all the legal, privacy, terms etc of lease web and NO where does it warn you that data will be kept for 2 weeks after the closure of an account before its deleted.

But apparently monthly backups are kept for 2 years.

I bet Leaseweb wants to cover their ass incase they got in trouble for what ever was on the drives.
German Chancellor Merkel: "The Internet is a virgin territory for all of us"
I think its more that non-profits find it financially difficult to pay Google-level salaries to developers.
But almost all of the returns to education are captured by the person receiving the education. How much incentive do you need to provide to someone to increase their own earnings by 50%?

If you want to see what happens when a society mindlessly thinks "more kids in more college is better, damn everything else," look at society right now.
Depends on what you're trying to do. If you're trying to avoid logging, then sure, this doesn't get you much. If you're trying to secure yourself against local-network DNS attacks, this could be useful.

There's also nothing to stop you from using a caching DNS server with DNScrypt (in fact, they give you instructions to do so).
They need to become the dark knights of the internet, protecting us from all the white knightery going around lately.
StoryApp, Sending 300 People to Vegas for Free
Very effective recall. Almost an advertisement for Teslas service and quality.
Something tells me that, even if it still had its data and was free to operate again, MegaUpload would not get most of its previous users back (except perhaps to download their stuff and move it elsewhere). That is what I was saying. You take a site off the internet for a week, and in the minds of most people, it is gone forever.

Feedly Cloud Goes Live To Replace Google Reader’s Backend
I read about a study in the book Traffic[1] that seems to negate this view, for buses at least. The findings were as follows:

1. More people use buses along a certain stretch of road.

2. Said stretch of road sees less congestion. Bus riders save time!

3. Noticing that this road has less congestion, more drivers take this route.

4. Route becomes congested due to increased interest.

5. Buses take just as long as cars to get to destination.

6. Bus riders migrate back to cars due to lost advantage of bus.

7. Road is more congested than before.

Overall, Traffic is a fantastic read and really opened my eyes.

That's different. This new posting is a different clip (although seemingly from the same interview).

It begins with "The following clip has never been publicly shown before." It's less than 2 minutes, and you'll probably enjoy it. Buying the full interview (Production Date: January 2013; Playing Time: 60 Minutes) would support Silicon Valley Historical Association:

How safe is your email password? If you use Orange or EE, not very
In my experience, sometimes a focus on A/B testing can extremely limit you.

How? Because sometimes you need a change in strategy, and A/B testing is more about changes in implementation of strategy.

For example, sometimes you need to do 'lead gen' instead of 'add to cart.'

Or, sometimes the answer to the problem is to spend a bunch of money on buying Facebook likes from Facebook, instead of tweaking your landing page design.

Or, better yet, sometimes the best strategy is to keep the landing page exactly the same, because it's already optimized, and focus on improving the product, so your customers will stick around longer.

That being said, always be ready to split test everything. And this means, always keep close track of your numbers.

Why? Because as your strategy shifts, you don't want to go blind. You'll have lots of implementation ideas, and you need to know which ones work best.
I see, thanks. I'll see if I can get someone to look at it.
L.A. school board OKs $30 million for Apple iPads
OpenDNS has open sourced technology that allows you to secure DNS against eavesdropping, something no other technology will let you do at the DNS level (DNSSEC only does security, not privacy). They are also a major backer of DNSCrypt which provides transport security between recursive and authoritative servers.

Without OpenDNS'es work, your cute little caching DNS server at home is still subject to the same interception as queries flowing to your ISPs DNS cache.

So what if they optionally replace some NXDOMAIN queries so they can make a little bit of money? If they didn't have a business model that was up front, you'd claim they were obviously funded by the government.

We as a community need to not be so hard on commercial companies that are actually trying to protect us. Some of them are ran by genuine geeks like us and trying to help out.
Maker of 'Candy Crush Saga' Plans IPO
I don't care how interesting the article is. I do not want to deal with the spammy popups.
These may not actually be bricked but I had an old ps3 that actually was bricked after the update following the psn hack and consequent month-long outage. This ps3 had linux installed on it at some point (from back when ydl had a ps3 tailored distro) but that was overwritten by a sony update that I grudgingly agreed to since I didn't want to give up my access to psn. When psn came back up after the long outage I got on immediately and the update was downloaded, but as soon as it finished and before any indication of a restart I heard a 'click' and it was gone, forever. Sony told me they would 'pass on' my info about having linux legally installed previously but admitted nothing and it remains useless to this day. Luckily, I received a new one as a gift... but now I am afraid to update it ;) I'll wait a couple days I think to be sure.
Customer Outreach Startup Intercom Raises $6M Round
And most likely you all have a very positive impression of the hotel now, which will most likely come to mind the next time you need to plan a visit, or possibly even if you have a random conversation about Vegas, in which you have a chance to impress someone else. Here, you've recalled it from just a good customer service discussion.

Considering a Casino can make many times the cost of the room on a visit depending on the customer, this is very, very good business.
I suspect that's a math-heavy competition? This goes back to the times of Dijkstra, who - when visiting Russia - wrote quite unflatteringly about most stuff Soviet but the one thing he praised was that his Russian lecture attendees were uncommonly well-grounded in math and the theory of computation.
Yeah, I disliked that part to.
The commands you need to know is:

nginx -t (test your configuration)

nginx -s reload (reload your configuration)

Also I prefer "nginx -s restart".

The thing is we have very little control over the checkout area, since it is hosted by our payment provider and we cannot run tests there. We are not happy about it and we will move to Stripe as soon as it will be available outside of the US.

Really, thnaks a lot for this. I will look into this right now, maybe we could fix some of those.

EDIT: We've removed the quantity field from the SaaS products, never thought of that before, thanks.

I went to NYU, and I disagree.

I am not from a rich family. No one in my family earned a college degree before me and they immigrated to the States with little to nothing. They were smart enough to start saving early for my education so I wouldn't have to pay a dime, but despite that, I still have loans. Thankfully I'm well on my way to paying them off, and early, because of the skills and the network I think I could have only built at NYU and NYC at large. I have the job I have because I went to NYU.

It's true that this is not the ideal place to become a hermit and focus on maximizing your GPA. I argue that higher education is far more involved than your studies - it's about exposing yourself to new experiences, honing your social senses and building a strong network, among other soft skills that are not summarized by your transcript. There are few better places in the world to do so than in NYC and specifically within NYU as a college student.

Lastly, going through NYU was not a vacation. I was very aware - as well as everyone else I knew was as well - that NYU was a ridiculously expensive place to be going to: nearly a quarter of a million dollars for an education with everything accounted for. If I screwed this up, all that money would be wasted, so study up. Not only that, study up, but resist the weakness to indulge in the "distractions" of the city and let your grades suffer.

In short, to say that NYU students are all rich kids is overgeneralizing, to think that studying in college is your one priority is myopic, and to call an NYU experience a "vacation" is just insulting. Have a little faith.
All sounds good then! The timing works so this should my first HN meetup. Plus the booze inflation up north has reached such a point now where I no longer faint at the price of a pint in London.

> Who made the slogan?

Paul Buchheit, the creator and original developer of GMail.

He participated in a meeting to establish the company's values and because he found things like “strive for excellence" to be bullshit, he wanted something unusual that would actually mean something. He chose "Don't be evil", because it was funny, it was a jab at Google's competitors and it was something that would be difficult to pull out.

Reference, straight from the horse's mouth: http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2007-07-16-n55.html

> It chose that slogan because it risks being evil, in its own terms

No, it was mostly a half-serious joke.
