This all part of a new wave of parent involvement in genomics -- parents have always been drivers of medical innovation for their affected children just as patients themselves are their own best advocate. Genomics offers a lot to some and very little to others -- the pay off is very lumpy but that should not discourage us from applying the technology when apt and exploring new applications.

Rienhoff is only doing what any parent would do -- do their best.
I don't think it's true at all. The media made just as many mistakes before the internet. The difference is there wasn't anybody to call them on it. Recall CBS tried to throw a presidential election with obviously forged documents, something they would have gotten away with a few decades earlier.

I really don't think it's as big of a problem as you're trying to make it out to be.
I read the mailing list post as the authors willingly restricted the number of reported bugs to one to avoid spamming the BTS.
Monolithic kernels don't "focus on correctness". Some people might when writing one, plan 9 for example. But plenty don't, like linux as the most obvious example.
He didn't admit that computers rig elections. He said it would be very easy to do so and that it would be hard to detect for non-programmers. He also created a program for voting machines that could skew the vote. It was a mock program. It was created for testing purposes. He though it was so his employers (or rather his company's) could see what a tampered machine would look like for detection purposes.
And with one swift move, they ensured that their mailing would consist almost entirely of dudes, who would later complain that there were no women at these parties.
The article doesn't equate those "power poses" with masculinity, just testosterone (and it's the professor who claims this, not the author).
You could ask the same thing of 90% of the stuff here
Why? Because in the time HURD has sat around trying to figure out whose code to use and call HURD, other people have actually written useful kernels. Minix for example.
Probably because "emasculate" is overloaded with gender meaning.

Likely other countries came forward to replace the 23 million in trade making this possible.
This actually made me think about what kinds of analog communication equipment could we use and encrypt transmissions with? I know Motorola makes some two way radios that have encryption, just not sure how good it is.

It would be interesting if people started to revert back to less and less digital communication and went back to doing what you're talking about. It's almost like another counter revolution taking shape.

Having swam in the Hudson (NYC Triathlon) and kayaked extensively in the East River (including a trip up the Gowanus Canal - never again), the water quality in the main parts of the river is actually quite good these days. The biggest thing to keep in mind is that most of NYC runs the gutters through the sewage system, so when there is heavy rainfall, the combined output overwhelms the capacity of the system and they release untreated sewage into the rivers. There's a lot of community involvement in tracking water quality in the rivers and you can get real measurements at a fairly regular basis: http://www.nycwatertrail.org/water_quality.html I'd be far more worried about being an unsupported swimmer. Even in a kayak, the danger of boats is quite real and swimmers are even less visible (and slower) than kayakers.
After a session at the gym, doing chest, I walk out feeling awesome. I always thought it was the actual workout. Now it struck me, it could just be the stance.
Also, I'm sure someone will mention it, but I wasn't able to figure out how to change the top link in the Pelican blog generator, which is why it doesn't link back directly to www.cryptoseal.com. If anyone knows how, that would be awesome. Otherwise I'll mess with it later.
If that's all it takes to put someone in a subservient or submissive position, there is not a posture in the universe that will fix it.

I'm not saying definitively that it's pseudo-science, but it does quack a lot like it.
Possibly. But "emasculation" doesn't mean "feminization". And I felt like the people most likely to be pick up on gender meaning would also be the most likely to understand that.
Complete competitor to Stripe and Balanced and Braintree.js. Just a teeny bit underneath pricing for all - 2.85% versus 2.90%.
Or it could be the workout.
The value of a vulnerability is linked to its usefulness in accomplishing the goals held by those paying for the exploit. Based on that information, it should become obvious that the only bugs worth large sums of money are bugs that result in escalated privileges on the system or arbitrary code execution. Bugs that crash services also have value for DDoS attacks, but they're not as valuable as the two previously mentioned types.

While 1.2k bugs sounds like a lot, we can't make an inference about the severity of the bugs based solely on the number of them. Also keep in mind that the Debian repository contains thousands of packages. From the Debian 7.0 Wheezy release page:

"* more than 36,000 other ready-to-use software packages, built from nearly 17,500 source packages"

http://www.debian.org/News/2013/20130504

The best we can infer that given 1.2k bugs, there is some statistical probability that any number of them may be severe. Without studying the data, we can't say what that probability might be though.
the first part of that article is everything, really. if you get that right, they/we will find the right tools.

and i say this as a remote worker who just ended up going for a walk in the rain to calm down; returned to an email saying "sorry for the poor management"; and would quite happily give the silly idiot a hug if he were here...
Apparently we are sharing data with Australia and Britain so likely many others too. They don't need to spy on their populations when we will do it for them and give them the data.
> The problem is after 9/11, everything changed. People did task the government to prevent further 9/11 attacks and sadly, they can only do that by doing what they're doing now.

There are many ways they can do it. I hate argument from lack of imagination. That's why SCOTUS allows DUI checkpoints: supposedly the police can't do their job without them and they need them for public safety.
Well, that's a fair point.
It's the use of the word "dignity" that upset me. Dignity is a dangerous word to use in an article full of gendered euphemisms.
It's hard (not impossible, but hard) to feel superior to the person you're talking to while you're bowed over. That's why bowing is universally a sign of submission.

That's really interesting. We (people in the UK) have long been complaining that our Government stringently applies every single EU directive and human rights law but other countries just seem to ignore them (rightfully so IMO, sometimes logic should prevail). I know it's probably not strictly true, but it's things like this which may eventually lead to the disbanding of the EU and such integration of the law.
I don't understand one thing, if you are worried about 'privacy' why not just use a simple proxy and go to Google?

All in all, I was surprised/impressed that he was willing to acknowledge that he's been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the media disintermediation he helped to bring about, in many ways - and now he's finally seeing a backlash from it. The standard point about clickbait and the Buzzfeedication of media is a reasonable one, but until stories / media can earn online by maximizing for something other than CPM, this will continue. I don't have any solution, just acknowledging the problem.

Yes, my mistake. Edited.
Right. Also a federal guarantee of accessible health coverage, the end to two wars (and the notable lack of any new ones), two supreme court justices with quite acceptable records on civil liberties, and currently a reasonable shot at bringing federal immigration law into line with the size of the actual immigrant workforce.

Crappy, rip-off products can make money. That's hard to accept.
For the most part, I agree with him, he was essentially violated by a sensationalist online media that spews cut-and-paste drama with absolutely no due diligence ("viral" is particularly evocative here).

That said, it does sound like a pretty extravagant over-the-top wedding, if a more tasteful one than your typical Kardashian affair. I suspect people latched onto that bit and just ran with it. I can't reconcile his talk of nature and sanctuary with the extremely manufactured and "faked" nature of the event. Why not have a low-key ceremony in an actual beautiful natural area?

This is also a serious downside with FaceTime or Skype on a mobile. You are always looking down at the device and that is seldom a flattering look, double chins etc. I have heard this from numerous people as a reason they don't like video calls.

I like the idea of surprising and delighting your users. My software helps make animated gifs, and is going to be free. I'm going to mail stickers to people who mention/tag us when they post on Tubmlr/twitter.

I also have a mascot and a little backstory. His name is Gary and he lives in the circuits of your computer. Born in 1987 with the .gif format, he works tirelessly to compile the user's images frame by frame. He almost quit in the 90s though, after people criticized gifs as being tacky and overused. But then came the gif renaissance as users began to purposely use gifs as expressive, emotional works of art. Gary handles all the heavy lifting in our software and he loves to make people happy. Thank goodness for Gary.
Minix was first released in 87, three years before development on HURD even began.

Yeah, okay, that was just nitpicking. But they're not doing that anymore, so why bother complaining about it anymore? Sure, it's not up to snuff yet, but perhaps it will be decently soon. Development on HURD has really surged in the past year or two, I'd like to say.
Coming from another country that has mandatory ID cards it does not seem odd to me. How do you confirm someone's identity otherwise?

Debugger architectures for modern languages
Why? Naval gazing? Proving someone wrong?

If the NY Times wrote an article claiming that Sergey Brin dumped raw sewage from his yacht, the responses would be based upon the assumption of accuracy of that story. If the story isn't accurate, it will quickly be corrected (and legal avenues should be exercised, such as libel lawsuits), which has to some degree happened in this case.

But what are people really supposed to do? For every story everyone must stay quiet? Let claims bake for a period? Put a disclaimer "If this story is accurate..." before every statement? That should be presumed.

In the end, though, while I had no comment on the original story (it seemed like a classic "they're rich...get 'em!" kind of story), I certainly don't find Parker a more reasonable chap after this 10,000 word outing. His argument is essentially-

a) Steelhead trout are stupid anyways. I'm humorously paraphrasing, but they are an endangered/threatened species, and you can't simply lump them in with Rainbow trout and pretend it's all good regardless.

b) Ignorance of the law is no defense. Saying that a group was formed before you were born makes one sound a bit like a jackass (maybe that's what the NSA is claiming? The various rights were written before they were born, so...)

c) He's good because he leveraged someone else's significant mismanagement of the forest, therefore he has no culpability. This is a bit of a tragedy of the commons thing, but his argument seems to be that all of this development happened in a vacuum and he just happened to be a sad passerby who might as well make use of it.

I don't think he needs to apologize to anyone, and it sounds like the land was horrendously mismanaged by the company that owns it, however this doesn't get sympathy.
Good point, that is not something I had thought about.
> Thanks to Snowden, now you can talk about the NSA spying on everyone without making it a joke so you don't sound like a loon.

Those of us in the know where making that joke since we read Stoll's "The Cuckoo's Egg". ;)
You are using a beta. Betas have always been absolutely terrible.

I hear 6 years later how everyone absolutely loved the first iPhone, but frankly I didn't think it was that great(slow, touches seemed off a lot, typing was awful, no 3G), and very few people actually bought the damn thing. It wasn't until the 3G and 3Gs that it actually took off.
Man Indicted In Scheme To Blackmail Romney Over Tax Returns for Bitcoin
"Much of the information"? Given that the metadata (a.k.a. "CDR" or Call Data Record) is getting hoovered up in all this, about the only thing such a mass of data can be used for is guilt by association. The telco's don't match up CDR with a captured audio stream, so that's done by the NSA (or whoever). They're not going to be able to do that matching, or the semantic analysis of what's said, very often. Therefore, the ONLY thing the metadata can do is determine guilt by association.
Meh, the hypervisor(s) have all the power, and they aren't even afraid to hide it these days.
What I find suspiciously absent from the relevations so far is the DNA angle. If the STASI had had todays technology, they would have tapped all phones, stored all data, and collected DNA samples wherever they can. Assuming that all spy agencies think more or less alike on the issue of data gathering, why haven't we heard of the NSA collecting DNA samples?
I kind of love Ecuador for that move.

Um, I'm not sure why you felt the need to point this out because anyone who visits the site knows that. I can't fathom how you think someone might not comprehend that.

Don't take everything so literally. Just because the site is full of unabashed trolling, doesn't mean you can't read between the lines and see that my point still stands.

-- Edit --

The reason you don't see any recent MSM articles referring to Barrett Brown as a "leader" of Anonymous is because they don't know what they're talking about. If you want to know the extent of his involvement you have to go to sources published by people who at least have paid attention to this whole situation for reasons besides pageviews. You need to hear from people who have been following the situation for more than just the past month.

But as expected, the closer you get to Anonymous, the more "uncredible" the sources look. Sure, ED and 4chan are rife with trolling -- everyone familiar with the subject beyond today's news article should know that.

However, that doesn't mean these sources don't have merit. They're written by people who know more about the issue than the MSM. They're written by people who (1) know what they are talking about but are (2) trying to troll people who don't know what they're talking about. But you don't have to tease out much misinformation to see that Brown has a long history with Anonymous, and is more than just a "journalist".

The media is not a monolith. Go read some history, and figure that a) people have been pulling stunts like that since the US was founded and b) they were typically exposed by competitors in the media.

Back in 1798, no less a person than George Washington was griping that the Democrats (under Thomas Jefferson - not to be confused with today's Democratic party) were a bunch of malcontents whose primary object was to overturn the government: http://www.pbs.org/georgewashington/collection/post_pres_179...
I wouldn't have known that and didn't have time to click the link.
I've been watching "PubNub-World-4" for a while (28 generations, animation is still on). It has a nasty hill to climb that stops all cars at about 160 meters. I saw one almost make it over. So now I don't want to refresh and lose the chance that one might eventually evolve to make it.

Most of the cars seem to be quite similar, though. Also, the one that almost made it over doesn't seem to be marked as the leader so there's no net improvement in the cars. I saw one more, in about Gen 30, almost make it over too (it jumps up and sits on the ledge a while before falling back, as opposed to not getting past the ledge or jumping straight up in the air and falling back down).

Very mesmerizing thing.

All good points.

We are figuring out our pricing schemes and will definitely be charging for the service. While we figure it out, it'll remain free.

Multiple people have asked for us to white label the providers. But the providers have built a great suite of tools which provide you delivery insights. Once we can roll in that value, we will look into it again. For now, we will be focussing on a more streamlined flow to create your own provider accounts. But we do take your point of there being friction in creating other accounts and will be working on that.
