Seems possible, though theoretical. I would not expect to see this unless somebody was paying for it (no particular reason for ATI/Nvidia/Whoever to go out of their way to support such a thing), meaning that I will not expect to ever see it in "normal" Linux distros (perhaps in "ChromeOS style" locked down distros being marketed with their own completely separate branding).

Proprietary graphics stuff in Linux has always been a world of hurt anyway (despite the lower performance it was a godsend when progress on the radeon drivers started to accelerate). I would expect few Linux users to be thrilled about compromising their streamlined modern Linux installation to watch netflix when a separate Roku or smartphone would do. (I know I would never go for this proposal. It would not be worth the grief to be plunged back into 2005. Not on the computer that I try to get work done on...)
My favorite stasi joke: After the wall came down all the former stasi agents got jobs as taxi drivers - you get in the cab, tell the driver your name, and they already knew the address to take you home.
most people won't agree and they'd rather you provide your own sign on system

I don't, I have too many logins already. What are you basing this on, or is it just your gut feeling?
The information that has come out over the last 12 years has taught us that they will change the name of the program, calling "this program" "shut down," while continuing with what they were already doing under another name, sometimes under different authorities (but always the same conduct).

Yet. I don't want to necessarily speak for Stripe, but I seem to recall when they were first opening to the public, one of their main goals was to get to the point where they no longer needed 3rd party providers for the services they offer, and could then drive the costs down. Could be mistaken (or things could have changed).
I don't hate Mastercard nearly as much as I love competition.

The existing credit card companies have an oligopoly on payment, and the more people there are in this space, the better options we will have.
I would say culture and sometimes intentional and sometimes unintentional collusion.

Investments are made in other industries all the time and the percentage owned after an investment can vary dramatically, from fractions of a percent to majority ownership. What makes VC investments so special that its own nature would result in settling upon a nice conveniently round number like 20%?

Plus, the 20% isn't fixed in stone. It's an asymptote. It's not unusual for it to range as high as 30 to 35%. I'd love to see a graph like the one in the IPO study. I'm sure it would be very illustrative of collusion.
No worries at all. I don't think the HN thread from three weeks ago made it to the front page (I happened to see it while browsing on /newest). I figured someone would notice and ask about this, so I'm happy to have the chance to explain.
So it seems that modern Intel x86 processors have hardware support for AES (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES_instruction_set). Does that solve the problem?
"The media made just as many mistakes before the internet. The difference is there wasn't anybody to call them on it."

The first part of this statement is tricky to validate. "The media" constitutes a much broader set these days, with lower barriers to qualification as part of that set. When you say that the media made "just as many mistakes," I suspect you're really trying to say that they "were equally susceptible to mistakes" -- lending weight to the second part of your statement, i.e., that Old Media were less accountable for any mistakes they made, simply because the Old Media were a smaller and more exclusive club, exercising proportionally greater control over the message.

I don't think your first statement is easily supported, or even theoretically supportable. But the second statement is interesting, and is worthy of some serious, in-depth study. Basically: we've got more people running around calling themselves journalists these days, and we've got all sorts of platforms that give the voice of the mob a lot more firing power. Is this a net- good thing or a net- bad thing w/r/t accountability? What about quality? Crowdsourcing can cut both ways, for good (scale, scale, scale) and for bad (variance, mob mindset, etc.).

We're trading the tyranny of the minority for the tyranny of the majority, and which tyrant is actually worse? I suspect the answer isn't as obvious as it may appear.
With clones of Stripe poppin' up everywhere, I think the niche advantage would be to be able to scale the service to a number of other countries where this type of service is either expensive or unavailable (please come to Australia! - I know there is "pin", but we wouldn't mind a cheaper alternative without any monthly fees!)
Re-reading this comment, I think you misunderstood. I'm saying you can use Chrome's search engine shortcut feature to search on other search engines, without using Google Search at all.

Just like I can type "!a search terms" to search Amazon using DDG, I can configure Chrome to send my search directly to Amazon if I type "a search terms".

Google can do all of the things you mentioned regardless of which browser you use if you use Google/Gmail/etc Search or visit sites that use Google Ads/Analytics (without disabling cookies or using Ghostery)
I've been running Nginx + uWSGI for a long time but recently switched over to Nginx + Gunicorn for Gevent support, and so far it seems to be working well.

Gevent's monkey patching approach allowed me to convert a traditional blocking web app (built on Flask/SQLAlchemy) into an evented model without having to rewrite the entire app around an event-driven approach (ala Twisted or Tornado). All you have to do to get Gevent working with Gunicorn is to pass it a command line argument to use the Gevent worker instead of the default synchronous worker.

Gunicorn + Gevent also makes it quite easy to integrate WebSockets into your existing web app, which is something uWSGI doesn't handle very well yet.

All this is to say that though uWSGI is a very solid piece of software, Gunicorn is definitely a reasonable alternative to uWSGI depending on your use case.
These aren't the tools of the 80s, they're the tools of the early 70s at best, probably closer to late 60s. The vast majority of technology used in NASA missions has to have been used for about 10 years so that there is a detailed and verified data set about reliability. And then they over estimate.

That's the reason why Voyager still works and why one of the first two Mars rovers is still chugging along, way past expected mission life (and the second one also died recently, way past mission life)

Please, update your notions of civil disobedience in history. MLK and Gandhi drew on historical predecessors who, despite not being called civil disobedients, were very much that and are considered and referenced by philosophers and political theorists as such. MLK and Gandhi were not the "original practitioners". Moreover, even if they were the first civil disobedients, there is nothing about the status of first that indicates greater authority to defining or adequately justifying disobedient acts.

I've been enjoying your comments throughout this thread a good deal, because you raise a lot of great points of discussion. But it appears that, in total, you're very distracted by the likes of MLK and Gandhi, and it's somewhat preventing considering things from a higher, more abstract level where you can reason about civil disobedience itself, pulled apart from the particulars of how some disobedients have practiced it.
Ask HN: I have an idea
Hackers,

I have an idea about this app. What should be my first step? I have 0 experience in coding.

1. Do I need to learn to code first until I learned enough to build MVP.
2. Or, build my POF and seek a help from somebody who can code.

Be gentle :-)
It's significant for every type of business that transacts in services that don't necessarily require repatriation until distribution of profits. All purchases and sales of services occurring between two "extra-national" corporate entities are essentially tax free. Only when profits and wages are distributed to individuals would taxes be levied.
Rails does too much for me and is a little too magical. Clojure and Compojure doesn't do enough for me.

- He has expanded and extensively justified the drone strike program
- His administration has denied more Freedom of Information Act requests than Bush did
- His administration has prosecuted more whistleblowers than *all other administrations combined*
- He's clearly in favour of all this surveillance, even though he campaigned with promises to remove it

I used to think there was a lot to like about Obama and there are still some things. At least he doesn't look like a chimp in photos. But it's naive to think he's not extremely hawkish on national security. Whether that's a good thing or not is up to each of us to decide.
Your idea is exactly the way the economy already works. People deposit their money in a bank, they receive an evidence of deposit in return (their bank balance), and then banks then lend the deposited money out to businesses (or individuals) that can use it. When people buy something (say with a credit card), the evidence of deposit is transferred to the seller's bank account electronically, so they don't have to handle paper certificates. It is true that we have cash (dollar bills) but these are mostly used as a convenient way to transport small amounts of money between bank accounts where it will reside (very few people keep any significant fraction of their cash as physical dollar bills.)

You're essentially proposing to open a socially conscious bank that promises to only give loans to socially conscious organizations (and presumably gives them a lower than market interest rate, at the expense of either lower interest rates to depositors, or charging depositors higher fees.) That part's reasonable. I used to keep my money in a bank that worked sort of like that. They tend to be a hard sell because they don't have a lot of ATMs, they don't pay good interest rates, they don't have super slick online banking.. all the forces that have caused consolidation in retail banking work against them. Eventually I decided that I'd use the bank that best served my banking needs, and separately donate to whatever organizations I personally wanted to support, rather than trying to couple the two and thus do both of them inefficiently.

You also propose to charge people a punitive fee if they ever withdraw their money from your bank, for example to do business with someone that doesn't have an account at your bank (which will be most people, to start with.) I don't think anyone wants to deposit their money at a bank like that. I sure don't.

If you want to get people to use your bank, I think that at the end of the day, you're going to have to actually make your bank an attractive place to keep deposits. I think it's really going to be an uphill battle to get people to opt in to these anticompetitive/protectionist provisions that keep money in your bank, because the instant they do it, their dollars become less valuable. They'd do better to donate to a charity directly.

So, your idea stinks because if you want to do this, you should just open a bank and focus on lending to organizations you like, and do everything you can to attract depositors (and imposing a tax when they give money to someone not at your bank is probably going to hurt you more than it helps, in terms of attracting depositors.) And, it turns out a lot of people have already had this idea, and they're called credit unions. There is a clean regulatory framework around them, you will have deposit insurance (the credit union equivalent of the FDIC), and you might be surprised how easy they are to start (not trivial, but easier than banks for sure.)
About wedding costs:

The median cost of a wedding is somewhere around $18,000 according to TheKnot.com while the median net worth is around $57,000. In other words, the median wedding cost / net worth ratio is around 1/3.

Mr. Parker's wedding costs were around 1/168th of his net worth. It wasn't extravagant by that measure.

I signed up for Google Plus reluctantly, mostly just to use hangouts as Skype doesn't work on the ARM Chromebook.

I don't use Facebook and I host my own email, mostly because I'd like to keep my social graph private.

However, Google knows everyone I'd have added on Plus already - and offers to add them for me. How? They've all uploaded their address books, and they all use gmail.

80-90%+ of my social graph is already known to them, just because my friends have already given them the data. My lack of participation in Google Plus is insufficient.
Stripe does exactly the same thing. You have to enter some business details like tax ID, sales volume, etc. to go live.
Snowden surely knows more about various aspects of spycraft and national-security-coercive-techniques than I and many other older people.... both from his Army training and later jobs. But still, extra awareness and wariness comes with age.

Holding other things constant, an older Snowden would be relatively more likely to have...

• ...known what kinds of tricks and pressures (including non-consensual drugged interrogation) he might be subjected to

• ...received official training, initial or refresher, in resistance

• ...planned well for worst-case outcomes, like not being able to stay above-ground in law-and-order Hong Kong, but rather winding up at the mercy of Russia

I don't know for sure whether in general, older or younger people are better at resisting interrogation. I suspect the 'dark arts' for coercing compliance have evolved over a longer term than any person's lifetime, and prey on any one person's limited experience, so I tend to think they'll work better with the younger... but it's an interesting question.

I do suspect an older person would be more likely to protect himself beforehand, for example by not traveling with the most truly US-interest-damaging data, or encrypting data with a better cipher, or even encrypting data in a way he couldn't, alone under coercion, decrypt.
Agreed. I did a writeup of my setup about a year ago:

It's a but amusing how this coincides with the iOS7 unveiling but the new logo has been in the works for quite a while. The original motivation was for how it would look on a smaller scale for FFOS devices.

I was there for the presentation and at first I really didn't like it but more cleanup work has happened since then and I am really happy with the result. I think it's pretty irrelevant how it looks in larger sizes considering most people will only ever encounter it as an icon.

It may be true that you can't trust anyone in the abstract but practically speaking we need to be able to trust our government, to a point, with all sorts of powers and abilities.

I guess you didn't read what I wrote. I will quote again for you: "Use a model to guide research".

> Would you wait until you have a way to measure what happens at the edge of the solar system before sending out your probe to measure it?

By all means - send out the probe. But until the probe returns data do not publish any papers purporting to know what the edge of the solar system looks like.

> The entirety physics is essentially a model.

No. It started as a model (or idea), but every single step was confirmed using the actual world, and not a model.

Agreed, though I suspect that the median net worth of the general population and the median net worth of people when they are married are likely different.
> we have a moat

I think this is a large part of why GB has a different relationship with Europe. In other European countries you can just jump in a car and drive almost anywhere else in Europe. For many people they can be in a couple of different countries in under an hour. Compare this to Gavin to book a flight or a ferry crossing, with the time and cost involved, and it's not too surprising that we're not as neighbourly as the other members of the EU.
No point in learning how to code unless you think you can keep your interest level up. If not, take the second path, especially if you can pay someone to code it. If not paying, the idea should be very compelling to a potential partner who can code.
Google Developing Android Game Console
If you're seriously interested in learning to code, then steps 1 and 2 can be done in parallel. Having a clear idea of every stage of interaction -- pencil and paper are a great tool -- is essential either way. If you end up hiring a coder, there will be less surprises if you have a solid spec ahead of time. Of course, ideas will surface as you begin seeing working prototypes, so you'll want to plan your time / money accordingly.
I don't care about the new logo, or the old one... I just clicked the comments link to confirm what's at this point become pretty well documented on HN: all articles introducing new graphic designs of any kind will be hated.

Mmm, seems kind of like a feature. In fact, maybe PG should robots.txt google entirely. It seems like HN has been getting mentions in other media with increasing frequency.
