I don't know it. I tend to prefer vanilla setups with minimal customization, so it's very rare that I look at what plugins or add-ons or mods are available. NERDTree came to me by way of coworker, and I've grown to like it enough to put it in when I go to a new setup.

From the name... I'm guessing it lets you vim into a remote? (Looked it up; basically, yup.) That doesn't sound useful for my purposes. I prefer to SSH in and boot up an instance of vim on the server. Preferring vanilla makes that not such a bad thing. :P
"Banana Republic" means to me a country which government is at the service of foreign corporations. Under this definition, no, neither Venezuela or Bolivia are banana republics.

Is Venezuela a healthy democracy? Well, we have one of the best electoral systems in the world, so at least you can be sure that the people elected are the ones who got more votes. More than 70% of turn out in non compulsory elections. Probably you've heart differently, and that's because Venezuelan have the bad habit to vote for people not liked by western interests. Venezuela has been criticized for attacking the media too. That brings the idea of hundreds of reporters imprisoned and rampant censure. What it really means is that the current and previous president dared to criticize the media monopoly that was, among other things, accomplice in at least two attempts to overthrow the constitutional government.

Venezuela isn't a paradise of institutionalism, but at least I can say that today we are freer than 20 years ago when nobody heart about Venezuela in the media. That was the time when the country was sold as an "example for democracy for all Latin America."

I think there's a lot to be said for tongue-in-cheek humor. Maybe it's not for everybody though.
That war destroyed one country and created a new one, with a different and less free path.

You must not be black.
I believe in the idea of a united Europe, but it is hard to see how we can get to there from here. Right now it is a bit like a Polish parliament ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_parliament_%28expressio... ) in that a small country that has a particularly stupid government at the moment (or that can be strong-armed or corrupted by an empire like the US) can block sensible reform. And we all know how well Poland did when they were unable to make any decisions....
If you are only looking at one source, sure, it can be confusing, but if you have a good collection of all of the first-hand sources really you are able to draw the same conclusion that any reporter might be able to.

Not if you were a reporter on the ground. If you have multiple biased sources you can't get an unbiased view without squinting and inferring things you don't know.

I don't disagree that with the "right" information, people can make good conclusions. I just think that it's very rare for the "right" information to be available. This is an example of where it's more likely, as there is no "pro-crash" story to tell. That isn't the case with almost any politically sensitive story, though.
The current problem with 100gb is it's really expensive to implement the backhaul. A 100gb linecard from Juniper is between $250-500k list!
I also use this add-on. While FF has the options too, the add-on allows me to easily access all the features and see all the details that I want to see.

The most important feature is that it's easy and quick.
Apparently 100Gps wireless already exists, not that they'll let the general public have access to the technology for the next 30 years...

That can happen with BSD software, too. Thr LGPL only gets more restrictive if the author releases a new version of their library that only permits the new LGPL version. Any project can change its licensing at any time, but with most open source licenses you retain your rights under the old license.
Isn't it fascinating, how everyone is still exiting with their bags in hand? In all that chaos, I would probably just freak out and run. But apparently, a lot of them were picking up their bags before leaving the plane. Crazy. Glad so many got out though.
I can't speak to other areas, but it's not standard for American English. To my ear it sounds Slavic.
Ever since Soyuz 11 depressurized after/while detaching from Salyut 1, everyone has used rescue suits during launch/landing. These rescue suits are not good for EVA as they don't provide the same mobility as EVA suits (better mobility while not in a vacuum, little to no mobility while in a vacuum), but they provide life support for limited amounts of time.

Radiation is really something you don't worry about until everybody is safely repressurized.

Ugh...my wife is deathly afraid of flying. She is in Canada now and flying back to SFO next week. I hope she doesn't hear about this.
>We are not in a war, no matter what some say

I guess it depends on your perspective.

Maybe you aren't, but hundreds of my good friends are, at the behest of the president that, assuming you are a US Citizen, you had a part in electing (also, assuming you are a part of society).

So the people who actually fund and execute wars think "we" are at war. I would say that should pretty much settle it.
I think it's the best possible service he could be performing at that moment in time. Letting his friends/family know he's ok, confirming for others that it was not a mass fatality event. What should he have done in that scenario?

I don't see a problem with it myself (as long as he's not interfering with the emergency workers doing their jobs and he's not neglecting someone he could help). Otherwise this is a modern day way to say "Hey, I'm ok"
You've been downvoted, but I think your question is a right one. Is this relevant, because it happened in San Francisco? Is every incident or crash in San Francisco relevant, then?

Does it satisfy our intellectual curiosity? Is there something we can learn from it? Is there a clever hack involved? An interesting trend emerging?

Obviously 128 people (what a nice number) think this should be on the HN front page. I don't.
I wonder if it would have been much worse than it is now.

KTVU is providing amazingly sensationalist coverage. I guess I do not watch enough video news to be use to seeing it. Just wild assumptions and implied details.
The Swedish military is allowed to listen to all communications crossing the nations borders. All ISPs are also required to route all their traffic through the militarys network.

I can't imagine the confusion that must have gone on when that happened, maybe it's shock or maybe people just underestimate the severity of their situation but correct me if I'm wrong... are there people in that photo actually carrying their bags off the plane? I can't quite comprehend that.
its a 777-200ER, not LR. Still a fairly new plane though
Wait lists are great for marketing; they increase a school's "prestige" in the eyes of potential students.

A university doesn't want fewer applicants because that would mean a higher acceptance rate, which is bad.
The property of being invertible is very important. It may seem trivial in the context of the integers, but it's far more significant when you broaden your outlook to other rings.
But nation-states can do that for downloadable packages as well, perhaps even the verifiers for those packages...
many of these people are foreigners, ie. visas, passport, cash/cards, etc... It is night and day difference between having your passport+visa available for immigration control and the alternative.
Reminds me of Zeno's paradoxes. They also impressed me as a kid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno%27s_paradoxes
Exactly; unless you see a passenger struggling to get away from the plane, it's not at all clear what you could do early on without getting in the way or running an unreasonable risk.

Based on the early and very possibly incorrect or misleading info and pictures, if it were me I'd hang back and then volunteer wherever they set up a staging area for the less injured survivors.
The aircraft in question is a 777-200ER, which first flew in 1996.

The variants are usually relatively minor updates, though. Even the 747, which first flew in 1969, has a variant that can be considered "new" (-8, first flew in 2005). It's usually the early variants that validate the design.

Relative to other comparable aircraft, the 777 has a remarkably clean accident/incident record over an operational history spanning nearly 20 years.

Is it possible to write the "why" of this framework? What pain-points does this solve that Compojure doesn't solve?

After a quick look, it really looks more like a collection of tools the author likes to use (though the <clj> tags look new, is this a security issue?), like Lobos and parts of Hiccup.

I think it is a pretty good job overall, but the routes are rather verbose. I wish this was a problem people would spend more time solving.
So the problem, if I understand it correctly, is that you want to create a commercial product out of free building blocks, and you're angry that the author of one of those building blocks in changing their license so that you can't use it any more and still sell your product?
This comes from the dotcloud team, who also makes docker. I believe this particular person speaks French as his main language. Cut him some slack :)
Awesome - I hadn't noticed that. That said, /r/programming does for the most part filter out the sociopolitical topics that come up on HN, focusing more on "hacker" news. :-)

World's Simplest Note App: Atomic Note
www.atomicnote.co
Hello everyone,

I build a beta version of my product. I want to build a note app which focus on simplicity. What you think about it? What feature should be build on it?
Having a great idea is indeed a small part of the pie that won't take off unless you learn to hustle. Part of that is knowing the right people of which I felt I knew some relatively important people pre-kickstarter, but they didn't help at all during the campaign. I used Topsy as mentioned in the post and twitter to seek out people / influencers / bloggers / journalists that I did not previously know.

A platform that allows ideas to rise to the top of the pile without any hustle is indeed interesting. In the past you could hand an idea over to someone to do it for you, but they would take the majority of equity and it wasn't a great deal for creators. The opportunity now is that you can use Kickstarter (and other platforms for other things) that take a much smaller cut, but they leave that hustle to you. I hope my blogpost can aid other creators in learning how to run their campaigns, but there is always the old option in handing your idea over to someone to do the execution/hustle, thereby leaving very little ownership for you, (around 5%).
ICBMs already do this, and we've been precisely deorbiting satellites for decades. Landing safely is the really tricky part.

Oh, absolutely. But this seems to indicate the debt repayment math being done to support the author's point is badly off.

Apparently the belief is if they don't talk constantly, the reality TV demographic (those influenced by commercials) won't watch. Actual information is not important, just dramatic syllables.

Amazingly, Fox News is broadcasting a live feed of the scene, with no more audio than the helicopter itself: http://video.foxnews.com/v/1155606219001/
Fair enough, but the way I am reading your sequence still looks like it is all ones.
Why are you worried about the "future sales" of your free bob alternative?
I know they train for it, but the coolheaded professionalism there is remarkable - tower, other planes, all of them.
Thanks for the feedback! There will be a ui overhaul once all the major features are done. That will be in a few months.
I've used Any.Do. It's a fairly sparse UI, and somewhat intuitive (if not immediately obvious). That said, I also use OmniFocus, so for what I use it for, I didn't want it to be full-featured.
FONTA: Make a handwritten Japanese font together
They are comparing information (stasi) with data (NSA).

Thats simply not a very constructive way to look at things.
I believe this was created and presented as simple (contrast to easy) demo to demonstrate BTRFS as a possible backend for images. Docker currently uses AUFS, and was designed to support more fs backends over time. It also demoed a potential path for docker to become more extensible over time.

A github issue was created to incorporate BTRFS: https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/443

They are a distraction. I feel annoyed when they appear. If I want looking at a particular web page and 30% of the web page is filled with useless/unnecessary ads then I'd be annoyed big time.
I have been using internet since last 9+ years. And I haven't found a single useful advert since then. I think that would be the case with most of us.

> why would Sweden veto this unless they have some serious spionage going on themselves?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FRA_law

Conveniently, this doesn't separate between citizens and non-citizens, just traffic that crosses the border, and since most of us use services globally, most of our traffic crosses the border, and is therefore intercepted legally.

Sweden has an interesting relationship with NATO, in as such that the majority of the population would never want to join, but at the same time there has always been an expectation since the end of WW2 that it would be in the strategic interest of NATO to protect Sweden from Soviet/Russia. Sweden pays for this protection secretly by being a lapdog and the latest payment was of course an increase in the amount of intelligence data given to the US, and the FRA law provided the legal framework for increasing collection of such data.
To me, it's Euler formula: e^(iπ) + 1 = 0. It combines three most important constants of mathematics into one formula. Sweet !
no. If everybody just rushed to the exit - it would bottle-necked and throughput would dramatically drop like it frequently happens in the known cases of club fires for example. Instead it dictates specific, much calmer, tempo: me/family alive and whole, neighbour alive and whole, bag with passport, lets move...
I was scheduled to arrive in SFO today and now my flight is canceled.
People here don't care. The general opinion about the right to privacy is that it's A Good Thing, but why would you care about your data if you have nothing to hide? The debate focusing on questions regarding privacy and integrity before the FRA law was a media charade and in the end people didn't care enough to oppose the FRA law. Most of the opponents were pirates and the debate often times came down to a discussion of intellectual property instead. Respectable members of society didn't want to associate with pirates, I guess.

What's happening now is just an extension of that. People know that the gouvernment collects the data. It's a bit weird that "we" veto something like this, but other than that there's nothing new.

There was this intelligence affair in the seventies called the IB affair where there was profiling (among other things) directed against left wing groups. It caused a big stir when it was revealed to the public. What's happening now is IMO more extensive, but what's known about the activities related to the FRA law is supported by law.

Political profiling is still criminal. We don't know of any political profiling taking place at the moment, but the FRA law certainly makes it easier.
Sensational it is sure. They have a helicopter circling around , while hacker news does not. But besides that, they can even interview drivers on highway 101, passengers on the next plane, how relevant! Oh, they did show the twitter picture by @eunner, yeah, they get it! They were reporting like that pretty much 10 years ago.
As a side note, a koreatimes article about B777 incidents recently: (B777 engine failure sparks concerns) http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2013/07/116_1386...

'... On July 2, the jet, bound for Incheon International Airport from Chicago with 273 passengers on board, made the emergency landing at a far eastern Russian airport after only seven hours of flight.
...
After engineers of Korean Air replaced the malfunctioned left engine, Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the carrier launched an investigation into the incident and found the gearbox in the engine, built by General Electric (GE), was the reason for the problem.
...'
This article is really pointless. It does not matter that Executives, the Congress, or the Courts have engaged in constitutionally dubious actions during wartime that we've seen scaled back.

The problem is that Executives, the Congress, and the Courts have engaged in constitutionally dubious actions during wartime (or ostensible wartimes).

The only solid point is that, regardless of whether one is a critic of the NSA programs, this so-called "war on terror" must reach its culmination so we can right the ship and move forward.

SpaceX is orbital. Armadillo is suborbital (at least Super Mod).

It's like the difference between an ultralight and a 747. Both are impressive, but on completely different scales.
I have 120Mbps down (Virgin Media, also in the UK), and even with that bandwidth I have the same problem.

There aren't many online services that can chuck >100Mbps at a single user.
The issue gizmo and I see with the sequence is that it is all ones if the first element is 2 - 1 = 1.

Are you supposed to start with 2^2 - 1 = 3; then 2^3 - 1 = 7; 2^7 - 1 = 127; etc? Those do seem to be all prime.
> as if Sweden were basically following US mandate

I have little doubt that it was. Sweden may be decades ahead in social liberties, but when it comes to the US, very few countries can say no to it. Europe has traditionally been under the US influence and, as the NSA scandal shows, it will continue to stay loyal and compliant.
It's relevant because in terms of safety, commercial aviation equipment (aka "planes") are some of the most throughly engineered pieces of technology. 90% of the engineering lessons software engineering is learning today was learned in aviation decades ago.
Now, one of the things just did something it not only wasn't supposed to do, it did something that shouldn't even be possible. That is very interesting news to hackers.

Who did you learn your American history from, Lew Rockwell? Because on the subject of Lincoln, it certainly isn't from Lincoln's own writings and statements or the writing and statements of his contemporaries (one example of hundreds: http://www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/speeches/speed.h...). Any belief that Lincoln was intent on letting slavery live is a belief that is not based in reality, and ignores the reason southern states seceded to begin with - Lincoln's opposition to expanding slavery into U.S. territories, one of the purposes being that states carved from those territories would be states that opposed slavery, thus eventually outvoting the slave states and abolishing slavery. The issue of slavery defines Lincoln from the beginning. The difference between Lincoln and people like Thaddeus Stevens was one of tactics; Lincoln was pragmatic. Your statement on Lincoln and slavery is roughly the 1860s equivalent of believing that 9/11 was an inside job.

Seriously. If you are ever posed with a situation where you must evacuate an aircraft, then GTFO and just leave your bags onboard. Do not do anything that could impede others' egress.

You can get new stuff later, and the airline is likely to compensate you anyway (case in point, within days after US Air 1549 landed in the Hudson, the airline cut checks to the passengers to compensate for irretrievable belongings). You can't buy back your life or those of your fellow passengers.
Apparently at one point it took longer and now it is shorter. That's good.

That was kind of my point that I was trying to make though. I definitely could have said it better but what I was going for was "It is a closed system."

Android development seemed relatively sandboxed to me though from the distributed systems course I did work for in. But I can see what you mean when you say heavily as things on Safari don't open up the Wikipedia app like on Android (if you choose to have it that way.)

iPhone's are literally only iPhones too which I imagine helps. The system updates are tailored to a specific piece of hardware. Impossible to accomplish on an Android update.
