I'm sorry? The standard is reasonable doubt. There was absolutely no evidence to suggest that Zimmerman initiated (or even participated in) the "fight". Zimmerman had a fractured nose, a bruised face, and gashes on the back of his head. His sworn statement was that he was knocked down out of the blue by Trayvon Martin with the punch that broke his nose. He passed a polygraph, and was "visibly relieved" (according to the interrogating officer) when the police falsely told him in interrogation that the whole incident was caught on videotape. The only injuries to Trayvon Martin were bruising on his knuckles from throwing punches, as he straddled Martin and "rained blows upon him MMA style" (according to the main witness and ballistics expert). We don't have definitive evidence of Zimmerman's account (a surveillance tape or multiple eyewitnesses who saw the entire incident) but what evidence there is strongly indicates that Zimmerman's account was accurate.
>I'm always irritated when people blame capitalism and free markets for the high cost of healthcare in the USA. The reality is that healthcare is anything but a free market, and costs aren't going to come down until it becomes one.

Capitalism ain't nothing like a free market either, that's the point of those people.

Capitalism is large private interests, big corporations, elites, and government in bed together to milk the population.

As for the "free market", that's an impossible unicorn and ponies fantasy, formulated in the 18th century and perpetuated as a myth by economists who should know better afterwards.
Maybe it's time to realize that there is no such thing as a "free market," since unethical individuals will always attempt to maximize their positions through their established power bases and political connections.

The complaints about how "free markets" unfairly get blamed for market failures sounds exactly like communists bemoaning the fact that "pure communism" has never been tried in the real world, just corrupted versions of it.
>point to amazing efficiency innovations that happen in countries with less regulated systems like India's

Those "amazing efficiency innovations" though are not doing any good to the 95% of the population there, that die even in the streets.

I'd rather have less "efficiency innovations" and more universal health care.
The Macbook Air has a cheap TN display.
Absolutely. I'm DC based, so it's more "your" than "our."

But you'd be equally surprised to see the flow of money that moves in the opposite direction. In-Q-Tel, the non-profit venture capital firm of the CIA, has invested in many Valley companies including Facebook and Palantir.

Now, I've heard that In-Q-Tel funding does not imply any obligation toward government interests in the future. However, from an organization who's stated mission is "specifically to help companies add capabilities needed by our customers in the Intelligence Community," such relationships pose interesting questions.
I doubt the 30Hz would be the only qualitative difference between a $3500 display and a $1000 one.

That they blew such a fundamental spec of the display tells me that it should be much worse in other aspects (color rendition, etc).

I love my sony's over my boses. The sonys have survived 3 years of being sat on, run over by the chair, yanked on and off, cable tied around me and dragging my aeron across the room and out the door, etc. And you CAN get replacement parts for them. Heck they come with a diagram of how to take them apart and replace parts.

My bose QC's lasted 6 months of mild air travel and then the headband broke in half. Only way to fix em was buy a new pair. Also I could wear my QC's for about 4 hours and then my ear would hurt. I can wear the sonys for 12+ hours no issue. But that's just my freakish shaped head so it's personal.

That said I don't really give a crap about the sound quality. They sound good to me and they're a good price. My previous pair lasted 10 years.

All the audio engineers I've ever asked have a set of the sonys because they're supposed to be a good representation of a middle of the road system that everyone has. They're good but not amazing. But that's what you want when mixing. A representation of the middle and one of the high end. Most people will be listening on the crap to good stuff.

Malpractice claims are generally paid out by a small percentage of the medical provider population. Maybe if you guys policed yourselves better, malpractice would become almost non-existant:

This is a medium DPI monitor, not anywhere close to high DPI. At 138 DPI, its pixel density is a bit lower than my ThinkPad W520's 141 DPI.

So you have nothing to worry about regarding DPI; every Linux distro I've tried works fine on this kind of pixel density.

The only question would be the sheer number of pixels on the screen.

I'll ask it again:

What is the rationale behind "relative in normal mode and absolute in insert mode"?

relativenumber is useful for quick navigation with 6j or 10k or defining a target for operators with c6j or d10k. Relative numbers are a tool for better text editing.

number is slightly less useful for navigation when in a large buffer: 6j or v6j are obviously a little better than 4321G or v4321. But I'd argue that the purpose of absolute numbers is more to provide information than to be used as a tool.

I've observed that using one or the other is mostly a matter of taste, though, and needs.

But the "relative in normal mode and absolute in insert mode" part sounds strange.

How are line numbers any useful in insert mode when there's traditionally no editing or cursor movement beyond the same line or maybe a couple of lines above/below?

I recently came across a slightly better take on the rnu vs nu "problem",

https://github.com/vim-scripts/RelOps

that switches to relativenumber when you hit an operator like c or y and puts you back to number when you are done. This sounds a lot more sensible and less arbitrary to me: you get rnu when it's useful (for defining a target for your operator) and nu elsewhere. Still you get to do 4321G, though.

Too bad the author doesn't get as much coverage as this one.
Probably the fact you're using google, facebook, and twitter. All 3 will store some information... Nice name for your session cookie btw :)
OK so let me get this straight: Many French tweeted jokes about "#UnBonJuif" (translation: a good jew), then an organization called UEJF (Union of French Jewish Students) goes on a legal attack and manages to get Twitter to cough up the info on the "perpetrators" and now those users are facing jail time?

Two conclusions I can make here: France, despite being a proponent of "liberte", does not have freedom of speech. Secondly, don't insult Jews, even on the internet.
On the Perils of Owning a Vanity Username
Apparently, for some "security experts" it's damned if you do, damned if you don't

If you don't use RdRand then you have few sources of "true" randomness, hence, your RNG is predictable, manipulable and you're an idiot and a 5 year old can break your crypto

If you use RdRand then "blah blah blah this is opaque", hence, your RNG is predictable, manipulable and you're an idiot and a 5 year old can break your crypto

Perfect solutions exist only in labs and my impression is that most of these "experts" make things less secure.

The three laws worked really well as a literary device exactly because they are completely inadequate as an design / engineering / ethical tool. The stories are about the problems caused by the three laws, and how interesting they are. No one who has thought about it a bit, and certainly not Asimov, would seriously recommend them as an engineering solution.
Health care cannot be free market by one simple fact - you have total inflexibility of demand/constant production of goods/information asymmetry. No sane person will buy brain surgery if he has no problems even if it 1$ and he has no choice but to buy one at whatever cost if he has.

We should work towards making healthcare cheap in absolute sense - if we could make healthcare cost on average 1000$ per person per year than the question who should foot the bill is moot - it will be such a small sum it won't matter.

Agree, this article is factually incorrect. Everyone who used DOS experienced crashes from time to time and quickly learned about Ctrl-Alt-Del. This was not a Windows thing.

It was sent by the keyboard controller of the PC/AT. http://zet.aluzina.org/images/d/d4/8042.pdf "Bit 0 of the keyboard is connected to System Reset..." But I think it may have been a pure BIOS thing in the PC/jr/XT.

It was the only way to get a hardware non-maskable interrupt from the user and thus became the basis for the "secure attention key" sequence you had to hit before you type your password on Windows NT. AIUI, this was an Orange Book security requirement.

These TVs are 24p capable as well, so you don't have to worry about jerky motion as long as you sync at the right refresh rate.

An unboxing review of that TV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXBu9nxLN78
Indeed; I've seen a TV that couldn't even handle 1080p at 60Hz. Its video processor wasn't fast enough to handle some kinds of video, so the image would stutter and freeze during high motion scenes. It also had a terrible panel driving algorithm that was incredibly blurry unless its crappy 120Hz feature was enabled.
Free market is possible - the problem is that it is tool and not ideology. For it to work you need several conditions:

1. Relatively low barrier of entry
2. Non essential goods
3. Comoditization/semi comoditization of the products
4. Price, demand and supply elasticity

The android phone/ tablet marked in the developing world right now is perfect example. Cheap PCs in the 80s/90s.

Sadly in the developed world the business models with carrier subsidization is quite evil and hostile towards the consumers. We should really make the wireless and wired assholes dumb pipes.
But if you have no offices then you are OK?

Thanks, by the way for clarifying.
I just wanted to say that I remember seeing you at probably more than one event. I think you guys are doing a fantastic job and I think your cry for help is necessary - but only because you know what you need and you're likely not doing as badly as you might think.

If it uses evacuated tubes, does it really even have to bother with being a loop? Musk's Hyperloop is something completely different.

My guess is hyperloop probably uses air pressure waves (e.g. extremely low frequency sound waves). Those would travel at the speed of sound (cross between a concord and an air hockey table). And it could use cheap mirror based solar to generate the waves via thermoacoustics.

The waves could store energy as well which was also part of Musk's picture. Frictional losses with the edges of the tube could be minimized by increasing the tube diameter. The perimeter to area ratio (of a cross section) shrinks when you do that (perimeter grows as X, area within as X^2).

To visualize, see:

> You will notice the significantly greater fluidity

Its the law of diminishing returns. When I had 30Hz and 60Hz monitor on the same desktop (as in I could drag windows from one monitor to the other) it was barely noticeable and not at all distracting.

> Sports, news, and daytime dramas (yarg) are typically 50Hz or 60Hz

That's interlaced. So 60 fields per second but only 30 frames per second. You can make an argument that proper de-interlacing requires a 60hz display but in practice its only the kind of thing that videophiles will notice.

> watching a 24Hz movie on a 30Hz monitor will make for a terribly juddery experience.

The seiki also accepts 24hz at 4K, and will even go as high as 120Hz if you feed it the right 1080p signal (the upscaling will look like crap though). You just need to fiddle the PC's display settings as needed.
I meant, "or trust Google's ability to keep their two factor authentication keys secret (with their Authenticator app)". Though perhaps I also meant using Google Authenticator app with your own keys ... except you'd still need to keep them somewhere, which means ideally an HSM and we're back to square one. :)
I'd see them moving to something like C# before Python or Ruby, or even perhaps back to C++. (I think the formerly used Pascal is safely dead as an option.) For an indication of what they are most likely to prefer, I'd say look at what the most popular first-language-taught to beginner CS students in college is. There's also a bit more to the basic AP CS (I'm still sad they killed the AB program, which is the one I took) like sorting algorithms and the difference between a static array and an ArrayList...

I think it's the responsibility of the professor and the district to offer a programming class separate from the APCS one, ideally in some other language(s) than Java, rather than trying to make the APCS class into a more "fun" class that's more about programming applications than about CS and understanding how programming actually works. An alternative course also makes for an interesting and knowledge-packed 9th- or 10th-grade computer course that can double as slight preparation for later; having passed Algebra 2 is typically required for APCS and hence most students won't even be allowed to take it until 11th or 12th. (My school had a C++ class, though when I was a senior and TAing I insisted on showing the students Python and PyGame near the end of the year. To my knowledge the professor has continued showing other languages/applications besides the one the class focuses on, once I even did a talk about Clojure to the AP kids while I was in the area visiting family.)
I have two more events since I don't need relative numbers in a buffer that I'm not currently working in:

set relativenumber
autocmd InsertEnter,WinLeave * :set norelativenumber
autocmd InsertLeave,WinEnter * :set relativenumber

(Also, :set number does not reset to non-relative numbers anymore for me)
Something you have, something you know ... I can see the utility in requiring just those. But I've found it useful to get messages from service providers when, for instance, my ATM card is used, or when I login at a new computer. So I'd like to add to that list "something you monitor" whether through SMS-based 2FA, push notifications, or just plain emails or further challenges if something looks suspicious (e.g. logins from Africa when I'm also logged in from the US)
I vaguely recall something involving F7 leading you to the save function on WordPerfect. Like it would ask you if you wanted to save, and if you mistakenly answered 'no' all your unsaved work was lost.
I guess the main benefit of a motor on a bike would be to get up hills quickly so you don't have to pedal as much, flat pedaling would be fine.

Correct. That's the thing to discuss I think. And the suggested solution of national "patient injury fund." seems like the best solution candidate proposed so far. Thanks

Stuff like that. I'm at a bit of a loss for words; I feel a deep sadness about this. These are the French hate speech laws:

Good tip about the voicemail. Though in theory, with VOIP becoming more popular, it's still just a matter of time before more people run into the phone-call-redirect or even text-message-redirect if services like Google Voice pick up elsewhere. In addition, there's the social engineering hacks of last year, where the attackers added a credit card, then gained access by verifying that same card. At the end of the day, humans always play more of a role in security than people assume. Thanks for the tips, though! I'll revisit this thread later for 2FA.

Reports are that lag time on the seiki is pretty small because it has the most bare-bones of image processing. Crummy video processing (especially the primitive upscaling from 1080p to 4K) is a problem for a TV but actually a benefit for a monitor.
> Ironic for me that just as these things start to show up, I start to become less able to use them.

Same with me! I just bought the expensive 15" MacBook Pro with retina display, but I ended up using a 17" 1280x1024 external monitor with it to lower the eye strain. I am even more comfortable using a 19" 1280x1024 Dell monitor at work!
I think you will find "causing serious offence" is also a crime. At least it is in Australia. Which means even jokes and flippant remarks can result in criminal convictions if you didn't show enough sensitivity to some minority group.

Americans are extremely lucky that they live in a country with two principals that basically don't exist anywhere else 1) that there should be limits on the power of the state to interfere in private affairs and 2) freedom of thought/expression.

The fact that the NSA scandal has become...well such a scandal is that those principals existed to be violated in the first place.
It would be neat if someone could post it publicly. Sounds like a fun dataset to experiment with.
Do you have any working examples rather than screenshots?
+1. And in a world of VoIP that can be both good and bad ;-) That said, if you use Google Authenticator, it's just a backup away. And you can add additional numbers, which again provides that tradeoff between security and convenience. At the end of the day, high value targets should be defended in depth, with least exposure to attacks and easily dropped if compromised. Which means maintaining inbox zero on servers others monitor but are less shared (so you can phone someone) and implementing login systems without failsafes. Of course, IMAP wasn't built for much of this 2FA stuff ;-)

Bringing in a "good talker" with exciting-sounding business ideas and great-looking credentials, then trusting him to run the show - often in ways against my better judgment - killed one of my businesses and nearly killed another. I had to wrest back control of that one, spent a lot of money on a legal fight against this individual, and slowly rebuild what was lost to save it.

In fact, if you're going to bring anyone in, bring in someone who tells you he needs time to get to know your business and work with you closely before he tries to start making any big changes. The guy who wants to jump into action on Day 1 is often someone who's going to have you quit dancing with the date who brought you to the dance to start chasing after bright shiny objects - many of which end up only being fool's gold - instead.

Ask HN: Why is this Chinese company spending millions on an App?
I am talking about this application [WeChat][1]. It is a free messaging app and somewhat similar on the lines of WhatsApp. I really don't understand why would they spend million for TV marketing (yes it is being shown on TV (at least in India)) for a Free app.

How much revenue will they be able to generate if they try to charge fee? I think very less because users already have an option to WhatApp which is already dominant in the market. Banner ads is'nt too an option because the users will simply quit if it is provides poor UX.

I encountered it in the Jargon file first, and that was part of what prompted me to read Stranger in a Strange Land.
I am making a statement about the reasoning that results in current policies. I'm not saying that the policies are well-executed (indeed I think they are not), merely that they have something more than just "reward a well-connected lobby" justifying them.

As for African poverty and famine, you're right that measures that protect farmers in rich countries will hurt farmers in poor ones. However the #1 cause of African famine remains corruption and war inside of Africa. And on current economic trends, we'll see economic powerhouses emerging in Africa in near decades. So as sad as our neglect of the interests of over a billion Africans is, it does not seem to be a permanent boot in the face.

For perspective, take 5 minutes to watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbkSRLYSojo. There are - today - African countries that are better off than any country in the world was 70 years ago. If others continue on trends that have happened elsewhere, things are going to improve fairly dramatically.

I agree with you that our agricultural policies create problems. But I'm optimistic about what the future holds for people who are impacted.
Quite frankly I also blame the criminalization of responsible bug reporting.

For example, Barret Brown ( http://www.democracynow.org/2013/7/11/jailed_journalist_barr... ) is facing jail time.

Others have tried to report security issues and been threaten or charged with hacking. ( I will let you google for examples - there are quite a bit)

At DefCon there have been cases where presenters were threatened with charges for reporting security issues.

Selling the vuln "solves" the problem for the responsible hacker.

I know if I found a bug - I would be unlikely to report it - too dangerous.
