Its hard to build a large protest using just reddit. You really need large organizations to get behind you, MoveOn, Unions, A.N.S.W.E.R, but all of these groups are of course very quiet because its a democrat in the white house doing this.

If Romney or Bush were in charge, I think the protests would be much greater.

Copy-pasting code without understanding is functionally same as importing large libraries or linking to them. You'll have same problems even if you didn't copy anything! This is why good programmers review code and prefer open source.

His advice about copying is entirely wrong, because even if you don't understand some code, it can still be okay to use it in your project.

The biggest problem with copying is that you easily get more lines of code you have to maintain. This is especially bad if you copy large chunk of code, which may improve later. If that happen you have to do the copying again to get the improvements. Link or import the code you need instead!

Is there a way to have multiple "roles" while using those commands?

I mean all my servers are 70% identical and have the same base, and the DB have a few different packages than the app-servers for an example.

I would hate to have two different chef-solo installations that basically does the same 70% of the time.
As I understand it, Krrb is not using Craigslist infrastructure - it is simply taking the post already in the user's browser because they navigated there in the process of entering the post, and copying the text out for reuse.

Craigslist can only litigate on that basis because they know Krrb doesn't have the means to defend themselves. That's not a public good.
Hey Helpful_Bunny !

I'm Gauthier, the CEO @Smiirl & I can confirm you that it's a real product, the fact that I've worked in various companies in the Advertising Industry is indeed linked to this project, I had the idea by working closely on social media campains & issues for great brands...

Don't understand though why you've been downvoted...
It's a social site. HN members find those stories relevant.

Perhaps some people (including, you, I presume) don't care about surveillance, privacy, freedom of information and the like enough to want to highlight those issues on HN.

They'd rather talk about Google buying some company, how someone learned Golang and Node.js all day.

But I wouldn't call those people "hackers".

Here are some examples of the "hallmarks of totalitarianism" I see in the United States. Read it and tell me that this is nowhere near totalitarianism. Tell me: what exactly is missing, and how much?

Indiscriminate spying and privacy violation. Selective execution of citizens with no trial or oversight. Secret courts. Gag orders for oversight initiatives. World record in incarceration. Lifetime prison sentences for non-violent offenses. Indefinite, extrajudicial detention of prisoners. Torture. The use of plea bargains to persuade a guilty plea. Use of paramilitary forces (SWAT teams) to apprehend non-violent suspects. Asset freezes, with the consequence of rendering a fair trial impossible. Systematic persecution of whistleblowers, even those who follow the "chain of command". Harsh limits on legal protests ("free speech zones"). Persecution of investigative journalists. Overtly propagandic statements in the news media (referring to, for instance, CNN's very particular use of language in the Snowden case).

Why are there no news reporters just "traveling" the same airport as Snowden, Reporting on the situation and taking new pics. I can't be that easy to hide in an airport, and it can't be that hard to wander around an international airport for awhile when waiting for a long layover... something about the reason we haven't had any of that kind of reporting smells pretty fishy to me... also, how many CIA agents do you think have "traveled" through that airport in the past few days, keeping tabs on things...?
In case this may save anyone some time, this aspect has not changed:

"As has been the case with previous investigations, researchers still don't know how the Darkleech module takes initial hold of the sites it infects. Speculation has surfaced that the servers are compromised by exploiting undocumented vulnerabilities in the CPanel or Plesk tools administrators used to remotely manage sites, but there's no hard evidence to back up that theory. Researchers also reckon sites may be taken over by cracking administrative passwords or by exploiting security flaws in Linux, Apache, or another piece of commonly used software."
Ask HN: is using a .me extension bad for SEO?
Hi HN,

I'm planning to buy a domain name for my personal blog. After spending a lot of time trying to find an available .com domain, I gave up, and found a cool .me domain instead.

But do extensions have an impact on SEO? Is using a .com better than a .me SEO wise?
Thanks!
Very impressive work, especially with the mobile integration! I hope this will become the next generation of multi-platform development tools, combining performance and flexibility.

However, the Android demo apps are 16MB and 23MB in size, respectively. For the larger one (Introduction to Qt5) the uncompressed sizes are: 9MB of data, 26MB native code, 134KB of dalvik code.

This looks like a major burden for low-end devices, even though I must admit the demo is looking great (and performs rather fluently on my HTC Vision, running Android 4.2.2).
The thing with one liners is that it is cool when they work, hell when they don't. I'm looking at replacing Puppet (because it's orders of magnitude too slow). Chef was a viable candidate, up until I tried installing it on two pristine installs (Scientific Linux 6 and, when it failed, Ubuntu Server). The instructions seem simple enough:

http://docs.opscode.com/install_server.html

but when you run:

sudo chef-server-ctl reconfigure

Chef goes into a frenzy of bootstrapping itself , installing a huge stack of dependencies, takes ages, only to fail with an obscure message in the end about one of its dependencies failing to start (RabbitMQ, if I recall correctly).

Can I work around the failure? Sure! But what does it tell you about a piece of software that its installer fails on two pristine different and common linux distributions? To me, it tells me that it is over-complex and poorly engineered. So, from a different perspective, I really identify with the "gazillion smaller dependencies" comment.

I helps me little that chef-solo is simple. I don't want chef-solo. I want a full config management distributed solution that is dependable (which probably requires lean).

My next candidate is Salt, and so far it looks good.

Interesting. I'd like to hear more if you stop by the list and I would have hoped you would have brought it up so we could have explored more. Still want to do that.

Not a lot of data to go on in the above, but if you are specifying -c ssh, ControlPersist is good! Perhaps you were also trying to manage an AWS cloud from outside AWS. Better to install a control node inside the cloud in that case. Otherwise, I don't know, maybe a DNS issue? I'd need to know where your issues were to dig further.

One thing ansible is pretty sharp at is grouping yum transactions, so if you had every package in a seperate line, with_items is a good thing to use too, that can make deployments extra zippy.

Another thing you might be interested in is 'fireball mode' which uses SSH for key exchange and uses a more direct transport for making subsequent changes.
It was mostly down to the various postal services around the world messing up. Every year lots of mail gets misplaced during the xmas rush. There were a few tweaks we learnt to combat this in the future but largely it was out of our hands.
That said we still took full responsibility for the situation. It felt crummy that they wouldn't get their presents and we made sure to compensate everyone that contacted us.

Sometimes I think the powers that be are poking an enormous sleeping dog with a stick just for giggles.
It gets more interesting than that though. Under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, if you decide to comply and hand over your encryption keys, or to, say, decrypt an email, you are legally obliged to not tell anyone that you have done so.

But there is nothing in the law stopping you from saying up front "the only reason I would revoke my encryption key without explanation is if I'm legally obliged to by the cops under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act". And when you do so, anyone with a brain can draw the relevant inference...

What makes this article from May 2012 particularly relevant today? Also, the title of this HN post conveniently drops an important part of the articles actual title ("for all the wrong reasons").
I keep on hearing these arguments of scale. I haven't ever experienced such issues. Now yes, if you're running Facebook infrastructure you may run into issues. Though honestly, who here manages more than a few hundreds hosts? I can't find the post that was making the point of encryption cost and parallel SSH sessions, but it'd be helpful to get actual hard numbers backing these claims, and how they compare to Puppet's or Chef's approach.

I agree with the complexity of similar-but-different hosts, and that's actually something we're set to solve with devo.ps (we'll see if we pull if off).

This links to the comments. Is there a specific comment I'm supposed to be reading?
This sounds like a recipe for breaking your servers without knowing about it. Plus, I hate VCS deployment strategies; I used to do them too but I've become wiser since.

I can see this being useful for a basic sort of "dependency resolution" on a larger project that requires deps sitting in github repos (the recent habit of treating github as a "global package repository").

While the pattern of using github to resolve dependencies isn't bad; I still feel like using it for your deployment strategy is naive. Resolve the deps locally first, package/containerize it, then push it to the servers.

Is it an act of war to search a diplomatic pouch or not?

It might be viewed as aggressive or politically scandalous, but I don't think it has caused war in the past.

And isn't the entirety of the plane, essentially a diplomatic pouch?

You have to clearly mark the container as a diplomatic bag, and even then I doubt a plane would qualify. It has to be a sealed container, like a shipping crate.

> At present people are harassed or turned away at the border for their published views, that policy could get worse in time, and information online lives forever (esp. if it is intercepted and stored). So it might be prudent to limit your statements online, or just accept you're not going to visit the US any more.

There is a distinction here to make though; I don't think it is inherently wrong to refuse entry to the U.S./question any person who is not an American. It is not clear why that should be the case ever. (I say this as a person who found the visa system to enter the U.S. profoundly annoying.)

On the other hand, refusal of entry to American citizens is a whole different issue.

TFA gets it right, why do you have to change the title and get it wrong?
Ah, yes! Sorry, I'd forgotten that those existed as well.

I never really saw a deep potential for those -- the problem being that you cannot open the outer drive for writing without providing the password which enables the inner drive's reading, which means that you're constantly leaking that information whenever you're using the outer drive (which ideally would be relatively frequent, so as to justify that it's not masking a hidden drive. So I'd just totally forgotten that TrueCrypt could do that. My mistake.
- Well, from my point of view, I DONT THINK IT IS RACIAL PROFILING. I'm from NYC and racial profiling is crazy up there. Like once a cop sees a black/latino person on the block or at a bodega or corner store, they just search or pat you down for drugs/guns. Some provoke you by calling you names or by punching you in the stomach. You can't even walk 2-3 miles without a cop stopping you. It's crazy.

When I moved to the South (anything below DMV (Delaware-Maryland-Virginia) is the south to me, I 've seen cops pull over many people just to check their DL. It's called DWB/L (Driving While Black/Latino) Syndrome ~> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driving_While_Black. Comparing that to what happens to NYC, I wouldn't classify that as racial profiling. The truth is that some minorities drive wild/reckless when they are young. I use to ride my bicycle on the East Side of Town (Minority Side) and I've rode my bicycle on the West Side of Town (Non-Minority) and trust me, on the Non-Minority Side of Town, they are more cautious, considerate and more concerned.

The cop probably never saw you in the neighborhood, and from my experience in many Southern Cities, if you are an odd miniority in an "affluent community", you look suspicious. Cops just drive by slowly as they watch. Other times, I've seen many neighbors or people in a community call something to the attention of cops. It is happened to me, especially at time whenever I entered a bank to get money in the "affluent community". I would enter the bank without anything suspicious but when I was there, everybody became silent, people looked at me funny and by the time I got out, I saw cops/police cars outside. Might just be a coincidence, who knows?

So going back to being a cop, this is what I think. From the cop's perspective:

1. He never recognized you in the neighborhood.
2. You are the odd one out in the "affluent community".
3. You drove the car, looked at him and went straight for a while (without any destination) before finally going back home, thinking that you threw him off, so if I was him I'll be suspicious as well. Or I'll think that you were lost.
4. Then you went back into the car, thinking that he wasn't following you, so you decided to go back to what you were doing or earlier planned.

FROM THE CONCLUSION UP AHEAD, IF I WAS THE COP, I WOULD JUST FEEL AS IF YOU WERE UP TO NO GOOD AND YOU HAD SOMETHING TO HIDE. MAYBE THAT IS WHY HE ASKED IF YOU EVER BEEN ARRESTED, BECAUSE YOU ACTED LIKE A FUGITIVE OR SOMEONE ON THE HIDE OUT.
On the contrary. Google requires the access to the open web, because its advertising and its search engine need that access, as I will show below.

Reader was not known to most people, but to many technical folks. Among them are many bloggers. Shutting down Reader certainly removed one big plus of the open blogging world.

Thereby people have less arguments to blog openly. How is that a problem for Google? If people choose to move over to closed platforms, that content becomes inacessible to both Google's crawler, and to Google ads on blogs.

Thus, by turning off Reader, Google actually hurts itself not only directly, but indirectly by treating the openness of the web less favorably.

Upvotes, nah; thank you for reading it, seriously.

I wish I could dig it up again, but ages ago I listened to an interview with Weizenbaum ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Weizenbaum )... he said computers, technology in general, just like everything, can be used to empower people, or to disenfranchise/control them.

In some ways, things like Facebook make people "experiment with publishing" that might not have before, so that's cool... but it shouldn't end there. Just like "organizing the world's information" is not Google's task. If Facebook's and Google's goal was to make themselves obsolete, I'd be all for it.

But it's not, and like with many others, "innovation" is often enough just the excuse to be the middleman. I personally don't need those inventions. Sometimes flowers grow on a dung heap, but most of it is really dung... and flowers can grow perfectly fine on meadows, too.
Grandiosity aside, what's pioneering about Ember.js? AngularJS, Backbone, Meteor and even Dojo and YUI I think all have better claims to being pioneers. As much as people hate Rails and the Rails community for having this attitude, at least Rails had that wow factor when it came out and there wasn't really anything like it out there. Ember.js? What does Ember.js have right now that AngularJS or Knockout or Backbone or whatever didn't have a year ago? AngularJS is both easier to get started with, offers much more flexibility and is much more interesting from a technical standpoint, not to mention that its feature set is much deeper.

This is like Apple's marketing, except without the product and aimed at developers.

Great idea in the comments about switching your phone to airplane mode.
But closing a tag with its name makes it clear to the person writing the code what's being closed. Think of a div that contains, say, a hundred lines of HTML. There's a habit with some people to insert a comment at the closing div to identify which div is being closed by referring to its id.

What you propose is trivial to the machine, but not necessarily easier for the human.

By the simple fact that no semi-colons broke things and was a hack contradicts the thought that it was a good idea. Building it into the language might be a good idea but it wasn't to try to go around the language.

I don't understand the mental processes that lead you and others to think that if I don't enjoy politics taking over this site, then I must not care about the issues in question.

Another site I read often is www.cyclingnews.com - they have great coverage of professional bicycle racing, which I love to read about and watch.

You know what, though? I find politics annoying there too.

You know where I like to read about politics? The Economist is pretty good. www.corriere.it is pretty good for local stories. And there are other sources I read from time to time.

This site is a great place to talk about startups and tech. There aren't many of those. There are approximately 343244329165 sites where people can have inane discussions about things like whether the US is really "exactly like China and Russia".
