> in reality people are just putting a stop to being tracked mostly unknowingly and (i am missing the word, advertisers aim to exploit people, making them spend money on things, that's evil).

Wow. I don't think English has a single word for the concept you put in parentheses. I doubt any other language does, either.

The best way I can rephrase the part I quoted into an English sentence is this:

"In reality, people are just putting a stop to being manipulated and unknowingly tracked."

Context has to determine precisely what 'manipulated' means here.

The symbol means "Place of interest" in all of the Nordic countries, not a campground. It would typically point to a museum or some heritage site. Here's some information about the sybmology:

Starting at 3.5/700/700/700 and working my way up to 4.0/800/800/800 only added three or four schools. Changing states didn't make a difference, but adding an ACT score added just a couple more schools.
The site wipes the content of the inputs if I submit without enough information.

Since I'm not American and don't know what the score ranges should be, can you put a little tooltip or addendum to explain the test and what it's scored out of?

I was interested in poking around to see if I would have scored scholarships anywhere in America if I input similar grades to what I achieved in Australia but the lack of usability made me quit.
At a minimum, it's a great way to make sure your "safety schools" are free.
Agreed. Similarly when countries everywhere started changing their law that made living in those places a worse experience.. the terrorists won.
We need a simple ad free youtube alternative
I'm just annoyed with new youtube video ads with delayed skip button. MAybe they're just trying to multiply their revenue by increasing ad impression by doing it mandatory but it's just suck as an end user. Maybe an early youtube(before google era) clone can succeed as a simple elegant video site.

It seems that tptacek was specifically talking about history that would be considered "a people's history." The comment I was replying to was a recommendation about a book that fills in the gaps of US history textbooks. It seems like this subthread is concerned with US history, especially with the history of the actions/policies of the government+ruling class.

Did I miss something?
Interesting advice.

As for being a tool, well, it wasn't an awful question. For what it's worth I never worked with them either.
I don't think you understand how difficult it is to create and maintain a video streaming website.
I don't live in America so I haven't been through the school/college system here so I didn't know what either of the fields meant. Perhaps you could have some kind of tooltip telling you what to enter into each field (it took me about 5 attempt to get the form to submit because I kept entering wrong values). Although I guess the people using it will know what to enter but even so a little tooltip is always nice.

Also when I failed the validation the values I entered disappeared which is a bit frustrating.
Ask HN: Which javascript charting library to use?
I am having trouble finding a javascript charting library that is basic (I just need bar charts), responsive and can be styled with CSS. The closest one I have found is CanvasJS (http://canvasjs.com/). I also like Morris, but it is not responsive.

Am I missing something or does this just not exist?
I'd like to add to story that shows just how intrusive some of this advertising has become.

Last week I searched for flights on skyscanner.net from 'place A to place B'. Yesterday I was reading the Guardian online, and wham, there is a big advert stating "book now to fly to 'place A to place B', from 224 GBP".

Advertising is starting to get so personal that I have started to balk against it on principle. There is just no way I will click on that advert, ever, sorry.
I'm curious why it would be different from any review websites ?

Maybe he should reword his letter and don't use that domain name. And make it so that he is just providing a review on his experiences of working with the client. And also could put it in his personal website.
Shared documents in Google Drive work pretty well for this - multiple cursors, integrated chat (although text-only I believe). But yes, this is decades later; we should be light-years beyond this, but are instead only just rediscovering it.
Use AdBlock, Luke!
> No, actually, the purpose of our legal system is to have some fair form of crime and punishment system.

Notice that this is one approach, the traditional (dare I say right wing?) one. It's exemplified in the Saudi's punishment of cutting off thieves hands. OTOH, it's mostly rejected in Europe, where justice is supposed to rehabilitate, not punish. That's why there isn't death penalty, and why there are notoriously comfortable prisons; "justice as punishment" is seen there mostly as backwards and barbaric (probably because of all these socialists there :).

Thanks for the feedback. The site no longer wipes the inputs clean on a validation error.

The SAT has three subtests with scores ranging from 200 to 800. Scores are multiples of 10.

The ACT has a score from 1 to 36.

You only need either an ACT or SAT score.
But tptacek was actually losethos all along!

What a twist!
Completely agree with this. After a lot of tweaking I could get Apache (w/ the worker MPM) pretty close to the speed of NGINX, but the difference in configuration files was enough to convert me.

And with NGINX I understand _every_ line in the configuration files, with Apache it was almost like configuring by coincidence.
Your points may be valid for the typical company, but recent revelations show that these sort of morally questionable roles are apparently quite widespread even down to rank-and-file level within the NSA. The scale and depth of these roles are also another thing that sets it apart from the typical company job, so making excuses about your children are less passable here.

P.S. a tip for PavlovsCat if you're still reading this thread, quote less. It's an implicit appeal to authority (a fallacy) and it makes you sound like you don't have your own ideas.
> They want Snowden bad, like terrifyingly bad.

So, assume `he git got'. The leak machinery seems to be unstoppable -with ES involved or no- which I believe to be the biggest threat, and the propaganda benefit of torturing ES or a disappearance act, to me only appears so much more massive diplomatic and domestic fallout and blowback rage, perhaps not biblical, but try Viet Nam global massive protests, blocking Interstates, Autobahn, breaking things. With all the world's record size protests surfacing concurrently, this ES mess could really escalate systemic-wide and (more) head of states changing.

I see a sit down coming among all global surveillance heads, and collectively they will reach a mutual intel sharing `hierarchy', leading to international abuse and distrust, while in the mean time, it will only get worst for our own 4th Amendment and the rest of the world's basic human rights.
Yes, show support for the 4th Amendment and at the same time - just in case the current level of support will continue to be ridiculed by the government - communicate safely:

Use RetroShare: http://retroshare.sourceforge.net/

It's:

3. Easier to set up than encrypted email: Install -> Exchange "certificates" -> Done.

IMO, it's currently the best way to communicate.

Pretty abysmal idea, really.

Granted I graduated over a decade ago, but I recall scholarships not generally being tied to either grades or test scores. Many public universities will grant automatic admission based on those (and a few years back I got to write a calculator that compared universities in a region based on their standards for that), but scholarships seemed to be very rarely awarded based solely on those factors.

(during my own school search I went through multiple on-site scholarship-application programs, which typically involved analyzing my full high-school transcript, followed by on-site interviews and exams tailored specifically to the school)
Of course I know the difficulties but I'm considering it as an entrepreneur. Yeap challenge is big but risk/reward ratio. It can be opportunity for new comers. Just brain storming man.
Yes, they are supposed to. That's the whole point - it's parents' responsibility, not yours or government's.

I thought HashPump could be used for hash length extension attacks.

It's a nice post nevertheless and another reason to use HMAC instead of custom MAC (nota bene: SHA-3 is not vulnerable to this attack).
Well you could use a cloud service to do the second one. The first is harder.
I've found that agencies often lie with regard to rates and get away with it because of their leverage due to the panels. If you check the governments mandatory reporting regarding contracts (often very hard to search) you might find they're paying far more for you than for military staff, regardless of what you're receiving.
How do you propose it would be paid for? (a) by uploaders; (b) by viewers; (c) by donations; (d) some combination thereof (can't see (c) co-existing with (a) or (b) though); (e) some other way?

But they were calling the Occupy people potential terrorists...not the right-wingers who might've wanted to assassinate their leaders. Strange, isn't it?
To be fair, a great percentage of the comments on these topics sound exactly that ignorant. Maybe there's an echo chamber effect where reasonable people just stop reading/participating in these threads, because to my eye it's been getting worse.

It's easy – all you need is a standard webserver (any VPS will do, check out Low End Box [1] or just use Digital Ocean [2]) and that's it. No need to install or maintain any kind of VPN or proxy software. Just use the following command to connect to your fresh server:

ssh -D 8080 username@ipaddress

That will establish a local SOCKS proxy which you can configure your browser (or any other application that supports proxies) to use, with localhost as the address and 8080 as the port.

The biggest difference to a VPN is that you need to separately configure every application to use the local proxy – otherwise, everything sent over the local proxy is encrypted and securely transferred (thanks to the SSH protocol) just like with a VPN.

Of course, you can also install a VPN server if you want, but that's probably a bit more complicated.

MINIX has already had a fair amount of its code already in print. Then again, it was a teaching tool in the first place so that was by necessity.

If the new version can be The Standard for real time OSes with simplicity and security as priorities, then it could also go in print.

I think it can be used for organizing people for protests, too. Of course when you make it "public" you risk being infiltrated, and the FBI knowing your plans, but at least they won't know who you are - unlike doing the same thing over Facebook or e-mail or whatnot - so they can't arrest you before you even go to the protests, like they've done to some Occupy leaders.

It's easy to search encrypted data, you just decrypt it first.

What makes you think Google would be reckless enough to store unencrypted private data on disk, or incompetent enough to not implement search over an encrypted set of data?
If you are in a coffeshop you too will likely have the passphrase to the WiFi, then you can still intercept traffic of your unsuspecting users, ARP poisoning and whatnot.

So just because its WPA2 doesnt make it magically safe from tampering.

And usually a coffeshop that has WPA2 will still have admin/admin as their router credentials, if you are lucky they have Linux and from there you have # and can use iptables to divert traffic to your device as you wish.
>>> Plus the dangers of printing a gun aren't that clearcut for a 10 or 12 year old

So explain it. Show the real gun and what happens when one is used and explain what can it do and how dangerous it is. Kids at 12, if they're not mentally damaged, can understand basic safety just fine, and guns are not magic - they are tools, and tools can be dangerous (most homes have lots of dangerous or potentially tools). So kids should be taught not to mess with dangerous tools.

Video games have little to do with it - any kid old enough to meaningfully use a computer can understand difference between fairy tale and reality.

Interesting :-) But I still do think it's a good idea for all of us to cool off before we jump to any conclusions based on things posted by new members with links to websites few of us had heard about before, even if these websites are not just conspiracy sites.

There is a lot of anger going around in here these days - and rightfully so - but it also attracts more radical comments with less convincing comparisons to totalitarian police states and it attracts a lot of hatred against Americans.

Just look at some of the comments to this post or the post yesterday about a girl who was jailed when ABC enforcement thought she bought a beer or the post a couple of days ago about a dog that was killed while its owner was arrested for filming a police raid.

The US is a big country, and we will be able to hear these stories every day if we want to. Right now, a lot of people really want to see stories that "demonstrate" that America is a police state. It kind of suits our mood.
I agree that most merit scholarships have an additional competitive component, and that includes the more prestigious schools that offer merit scholarships.

However, this tool is a good way of ensuring that you have free options (if you have the grades).

Edit: Replying to ubernostrum's comment below:

Based on the data given, I left out a few schools that required a particular school rank, and Utah State, which is a more complex case (http://www.usu.edu/admissions/scholarships/nonres-freshmen.c...).

I double checked the data, and while a few of the scholarships are first come first serve, none of the websites indicated that there was an additional competitive process involved.

If I wanted to be more comprehensive, I would include National Merit status, and perhaps schools that are free to everyone. But as it is, I believe I have a first pass at "full scholarships that require certain grades and test scores but do not require any additional process."
The grandparent didn't do that. His/her point was that governments do.

That sounds an excellent idea! In fact, it sounds so excellent, it's already built, deployed, and used by millions, under the domain name vimeo.com .

However, the business problem raised by mooism2 -specifically, revenue streams, and covering costs - have visible consequences, in that the vast majority of content producers would opt not to pay for distribution of their content.

Also note, that youtube was never built to generate revenue -it was specifically built to flop to one of the big players.

In short, to consider this as an opportunity, you need to radically innovate on extracting alternative revenue streams from viewers, producers, or third parties.

I am very scared too use most crypto platforms for reasons like this; I would never have picked up on such stuff.
