NetBSD supports 10 CPU[1] architectures; Linux supports 27[2]

In terms of other hardware I believe it bends even more in Linux's favour. I'm not sure if any Linux distribution has as many ports as NetBSD though. Gentoo and Debian probably come close.

In March, Maduro accused the US of trying to kill his opponent in the bid for President, right after accusing the US of giving Chávez cancer that led to the seat being empty in the first place.

Some US politicians asked for a recount after the Venezuelan election, as has become customary. There was no recount.

Ah well OK you're right..
A 2.4GHz or GPS jammer would be a safer solution. Most of the police multirotors are standard consumer models without milspec GPS or communications.
That section is dealing purely with an attacker who wants to impersonate a ChannelID. It's correct that an attacker cannot fool the real server into believing that it is in possession of a ChannelID, even if the attacker has the server's private key (so long as the server is forward secure). However, that doesn't mean that the client isn't fooled.

(Disclosure: I wrote that section of the draft.)
I think the point is not that one should use larger samples, but rather than the conclusion is wrong since the sample is too small. Iow, there's no proof that the situation really changed in the US on the discussed topic.
SORM is used for selective surveillance (by adjudication) and not even close for total monitoring programs like PRISM.
You can use both - you can run NetBSD in userspace under Linux http://www.netbsd.org/docs/rump/ - eg to run userspace filesystem drivers or a userspace IP stack... you can't do that with Linux.
>>My opinion of the HK SAR, which has always been quite high, just went up a couple of notches.

How so? For the past 10 days we have been hearing non-stop reports of the infamous extradition process that will drag on for 10-15 years in HK, providing asylum to Snowden. Turns out a mere day after espionage case was filed Snowden is allowed to leave HK. Do you seriously believe Snowden thought, wow it was great living in HK for 10 days but now I need to go to Venezuela or Cuba (via Russia) since they are havens of freedom and human rights? Snowden put HK in a very tough position this is literally the best way they could get the US off their backs. The strong language in the press release is all show, look at what people do not what they say.

Is this a good idea for him anyway, to openly divulgue every step he takes? Or did the information just leak?
He also released info that helped US citizens, as we are being kept in the dark in regards to the country's unconstitutional surveillance programs.
> Nice, I like text files. Paragraph width is a little too wide for me, however.

This is why we need markup languages like HTML. Inevitably people will want different widths paragraphs due to different devices, preferences, etc. Just because some people use HTML badly doesn't mean we need to go back to text.

Funny thing is that many ORM companies fail at guarding own reputation:

Yet the industry has its own image problem. Even the most prominent player, Reputation.com, which charges $3,000 per year—and often many times that—to police search results for clients can’t entirely cleanse its own profile. The company’s first page of Google results is free of negative content, but when a user types the company name into the search box, Google’s auto-complete feature often suggests “Reputation.com scam” as one of the choices. “To solve this for ourselves is not an option based on the time and money we’d have to put into it,” says Michael Fertik, chief executive officer of the Redwood City (Calif.) company, which is backed by more than $67 million in venture funding. “Sometimes you can move content from page two to page five of Google, but the cost becomes so high that it’s not realistic.”

I think this is a bridge too far. Justin Jackson made a good point about approaching your content first etc, but stripping back to just plain text just makes this harder to read. In fact, if you've read the first post http://justinjackson.ca/words.html, I'd argue that this almost impossible to read through to the end without skipping. Which sort of dilutes the whole point...

Perhaps the post should read:

This is a regular text file.
Nothing advanced and not much to see here but some words.
And you're pretty sure you've read this already, quite recently in fact...

AND THAT'S ANNOYING!

You're probably not even reading this bit, as most of you will have elected to skip to the end only to find I'm plugging something.

I didn't mean it is necessarily like this today, but rather that even progressive countries continued to execute for treason at least partway through their history of progressiveness. It took longer for that piece (death for treason) to die out than most other pieces (like, I dunno, denying women suffrage?). It's sort of an awkward idea to express.

I actually have a lot to say about it, but this great Baffler piece, Adam Wheeler Went to Harvard, says it best: http://thebaffler.com/past/adam_wheeler_went_to_harvard.

Then, I would add a snippet from this Thomas Frank article[1] in Harper's:

After all, what universities were selling then, and what they are selling today, is an extremely valuable commodity: entry into what sociologists call the professional managerial class. There’s a reason that Lexus LX 570 that almost ran you down in the crosswalk the other day had a harvard sticker neatly centered on its rear window. And it isn’t because the driver believes we would all profit from immersing ourselves in theories of intersectionality, or because of a lifelong attachment to Crimson field hockey. That sticker is there because Harvard is a crucial part of who that SUV driver is. A college degree from a prestigious
school is the credential that matters most in American life, and growing college-enrollment figures
suggest that an increasing number of Americans have figured this out.

If deaths by terrorism ever comes close to the number of deaths by automobile accidents I will reconsider my position that giving up the rights outlined in the constitution is an inappropriate response to terrorism.

Two wars, thousands dead, trillions of dollars spent, indefinite detainment of people in Guantanamo, a government takeover of airport security, FBI drones flying in the US, rubberstamped warrants for spying on Americans, the list goes on for quite a while. At what point is it proper to say the "cure" is worse than the disease?

The first thing to do surely is to find existing old domain names that have basically never changed. That indicates they are available to purchase.

Buy a site that has been running for ten years but is now out of use and google will love anything it says for a long time.

Might be interesting to quantify that value to google - as banruptcy administrators might want to know how much a domain name is worth

Travelling to "China"[1], Russia, Cuba and Venezuela is not the way to get the average American on your side.

Revealing secrets about how the US government is spying on enemies, rather than simply about how the US government is spying on its citizens is not the way to get the average American on your side.

I can't say I admire what this man has done or how he has done it (aside from bringing domestic spying into the public eye, which I do think was a genuine public service).

[1] Or rather what will be perceived as "China" by many Americans.
It's the HKSAR government, not the Chinese government (NPC). It's important to note that they are quite different.
> I was born in the 70s and the US was the country you would run to to escape retribution for whistleblowing you did back home.

I assume you meant "your home" != USA. But even now many people still seek asylum in the USA.

As for Russia, it is certainly more free than in 70s, but a lot of people run from Russia because of prosecution for political reasons.

This is an interesting approach, but markdown strips whitespace which could be problematic with some forms of indentation (for dialogue, etc.)

Espionage is probably being defined in this instance as "aiding the enemy." It doesn't matter if you secretly divulge information. If you release information publicly that could be used by 'the enemy' then you have helped 'the enemy.'
Republican? Well, the USA is a republic, but I assume you meant Republican as in, aligned with the Republican party. That is strange: as others mentioned, on this issue, media is not split according to the party lines.

Imho, given the publicity of the issue, there's no way the current US judicial system could find Snowden guilty of treason without creating a huge domestic and international scandal. Politically, this would turn into an enormous backlash.
To maintain the image of a state of law, the US has no other choice than prosecute, but the outcome will turn out as either:

- a mistrial, followed by a strong attempt at burying the case somehow (probably with other events)

- a non guilty verdict, with spin doctoring to display the whole thing as a demonstration of the fact that the US constitution and overall legal system is sound,

- a "guilty" verdict, but with so much attenuating circumstances than there will be no significant sentence

However, for Snowden, I doubt that he will be able to find a job again in his line of work, after breaking the "ethic rules". What security company would hire a (skilled even) security analyst (or whatever Snowden was actually doing) if he cannot keep it shut on the internal practices? The scope could widen to any entreprise actually.
Sure but the HKSAR are not known for doing any hacking and this was between the HKSAR and the USA.
They still don't care about school. They care about not being weeded from the pile of resumes because they didn't have "the right grade" - which they got by a pantomime that superficially resembled school.

The OP is using 2 common trending topics on HN (return to fundamentalist text values and whistleblowing/privacy issues), with zero added value, to plug his book?

This is a comment. Like most on the Internet, it doesn't really add anything to the discussion. It's simply here because bytes are cheap now. In the "olden days", every character would have taken eons to traverse my 300 baud modem, but now I can afford enough bytes to make you truly suffer.

> though USA has proven itself to be literally on the same level as the "communist" countries

And people wonder why I complain about seeing political discussions on this site. How can you have a serious discussion with bizarre comments like the above? And just so it's clear: one can simultaneously hold in one's mind the view that there are some serious imperfections and injustices in the US, and that there are a lot of worse places - and some that are probably better.
You must mean, ones who are/were made public right?
Do you think anyone taking a commercial flight is going to be able to hide that from US intelligence?

Since there's no one else for him to hide from, what's the point of not telling the public? On the contrary, he probably feels much safer knowing it's impossible for US agents to silently intercept him en route.
> Bet you haven't seen one like this in a while.

In my case, "in a while" means "a couple of minutes," since that's when I last read my email.

Heck, we convert all email to plain text at work.
Armchair analysis. How about looking at his real alternatives? One was virtually 24 hour /day locked up in a sunless, concrete room the other going to Venezuela or Cuba to have a somewhat normal life.

You could alternatively use an online markdown editor (such as http://markdown.pioul.fr/). It'll wrap your paragraphs in <p> tags.

Additionally, since it uses the Markdown syntax, it might give you more than paragraphs if you use more than line breaks. (Have a look at the quick reference for more about the syntax.)

Edit: Didn't see your answer to @kybernetikos. I still think this could help you out. Also note that in HTML (what you'll get by adding <p> tags to your text), whitespace is collapsed (except inside <pre> tags)

Instead of calling it cheating, whynot describe objectively what they are doing and let us judge ourselves whether it's cheating? This article makes it sound obvious that everyone is using cell phones or other devices to communicate with people outside or with each other, but for all we know that was a single occurrence out of thousands of students. Too often articles like these turn out to tell only one side of the story, and I don't like it. It sounds too crazy that all Chinese students think cheating is fair; heck, it wouldn't be called cheating by them if they thought it was!
I haven't seen the indictment, but I assume he's been charged under one or more provisions of 18 USC Ch. 37[1], otherwise known as the Espionage Act of 1917, which covers things like "Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information".

Dictionaries are not the final arbiter of criminal law.

[1]http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-37

Edit: Criminal complaint here: http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/MSNBC/Sections/NEWS/A_U.S.%20new...

As I expected, there are two Espionage Act charges, specifically:

18 USC 793(d) Unauthorized Communication of National Defense Information

18 USC 798(a)(3) Willful Communication of Classified Communications Intelligence Information to an Unauthorized Person

I wondered who helped him coordinate this plan. Moving through 4 nations (HK/China, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela) when you're on the run requires a lot of assurances you'll actually make it through each step.

Well, now we know who helped.

While I generally support what Snowden has done, there are certainly things he knows that would actively harm the US if they were leaked. Operational details of the NSA, etc. The NSA does have legit spying to be doing, after all.

I hope he's not trading that information for passage.
So you don't think it would have been right for the UK to hold up its end of mutual extradition treaties with the US?
c++? hardly. maybe c, but i'm not sold.

why not say assembler "is a must for understanding how a program works"? because when you are talking about the underlying machine, that's what you mean.

but if you are not speaking about the machine, but the program (algorithms within) a higher-level language might even lead to better understanding because you can focus on the important parts. that language does not have to be functional (some algorithms _are_ imperative) but might be, say, python.
It was brilliant. Hong Kong didn't immediately jump when the US Government said to jump. It enabled Snowden to get away.

So let's take score. US military has over a hundred bases globally. The CIA operates in over a hundred countries. The US intelligence budget is over $80 billion. The NSA can 'see' practically everything. And there goes Snowden, escaping on a common commercial flight out of Hong Kong.

If anybody looks stupid, it's clearly the US Government.
Good point.

Instead of writing a converter yourself you could try to use Markdown on your files without modification and see how well it does. The design goal of Markdown is:

There is also AsciiDoc and some others.
