A neighbor of mine restored a Mercedes luxury sedan from the 1950's. It was perfect. I asked him what he did to get parts and odds and ends that were surely unobtainable.

He shrugged and simply said "I made them."

He then showed me that he had a full basement and it was a fully equipped machine shop. The guy made things like fully functional steam tractors from scratch that you could ride on.

Anyhow, 3D printing makes it possible for much more ordinary folk to easily make things that were formerly cost prohibitive.
Perhaps they should ban all references to drinking vodka too?
This is the same daily mail which regularly features almost pornographic images of children as well right next to their "kill all pedo's" articles.

The reason the DM is like it is stems from the fact that this country is full of vile moronic excuses for humans that will mindlessly buy and promote the shite that spews out of the mouths of that paper's writers (if you can call them that).

The politicians like these sort of people a they're easy to manipulate into voting for them.

I think there's quite a big difference between saying we have no evidence that alcohol consumption during pregnancy is unsafe, and recommending that pregnant women should drink.

>Apple has proven over and over again that they're utter crap at online services.

Yes. They only have the most successful online app and music store service on the planet.

And one of the biggest backup online service (iCloud) too.

Oh, and the most popular online computer shop.

Utter crap indeed.

>I don't understand why they can't just drop $500mm to $2b on buying one or more competent saas/ops companies to get some real expertise in house, rather than relying on 15 years of accumulated contractor/vendor built crapware.

For one, you have no idea what saas/ops people they have in-house. Second, you have no idea how their systems are setup.

Second, you have this baseless idea that throwing money at an engineering problem solves it (yeat, it worked great for Brooks, Mitch Kapor, and tons of other multi-hundrend million failed projects out there).

Third, who told you it's "15 years of accumulated contractor/vendor built crapware"? From the little we know, their current foundation is a cloud on top of Azure. Which is anything but "accumulated".

> I would argue your friend clearly still cares about his ex if it hurts him to be around her. So maybe learning to forgive and having her back in his life as a friend wouldn't be the worst thing.

That is stretching the English lexicon when it comes to the word "care". Having positive emotions for someone is not the same as having negative emotions for them.

> "forgive and having her back in his life"

I dunno. I feel like a major boundary was violated. A friendship or anything really works on the basis of boundaries not being violated. Sure, sometimes mistakes do happen. However, to forgive requires the other person to be aware that a boundary was violated and be ready to take steps to fix it. I feel like our society is too accepting of the word "sorry" and too easy with using it. Sometimes "sorry" just doesn't cut it.
To be fair, anyone that finds ThinkPads attractive is pretty twisted.

AdBlock is not "punishing" websites, doing in fact the exact opposite by making annoying websites usable to a loud and easily annoyed, but very active demographic. This means that even though you (the Adblock user) aren't seeing the blocked ads, you are still giving them eyeballs, which means that:

(a) you can still be targeted with advertising hidden in the actual content, and

(b) you can still forward that link to your acquaintances, many of whom do not have AdBlockers installed

Sure, you can think of it as "punishment", but Adblock is in fact a net win for advertisers and a net loss for everybody else. It is no coincidence that AdBlock Plus is developed by an advertising company.

If you want true punishment for such websites, the only real way to punish them is to stop giving them eyeballs entirely, being the online equivalent of voting with your wallet. Doing anything else that helps with the two afore mentioned points is helping them grow their bottom line, encouraging their current practices.
Even if not all of the aspects that she wrote about may related to everybodys problems, it's a very good read because it allows to relate to her situation. Being a post-doc in CS myself and having two kids I exactly know how hard it is to juggle everything. In addition, I think that many of the comments here try to interpret the article as a list of advices and treat them as such. But If you read carefully you would have seen that this is especially something she didn't want to.

My key take-away from this post is that: Yes, the system is designed for young, childless PhDs who are willing to put 80hs/weeks into work and robot-like follow the advice of others. But, it does not have to be like that. It's paramount to remember everyday why you are doing this job and why you love research and teaching.

True with his final statement in the video that's what it sounds like he was trying to do. But if he just found the flaw, reported to Apple and did nothing remotely nefarious he shouldn't have felt the need to do the video. It seems to me he knows he shouldn't have downloaded so many records and it trying to backtrack to cover himself.

Well you're right, not everything is a file. We can't treat a socket like a file because the networks is less reliable/fast/whatever than the file system. You can't treat a pipe just like a file because it needs to have someone reading it if you want to write to it, and there are special files accepting weird ioctls because they have weird capabilities that need to be exploited, etc.
But still, all these do have things in common, mainly they can be read from and written to, and the 'file' is an abstraction that represent just that. To me this is very much like an object oriented concept. This is polymorphism applied to os resources. If several resources have part of their interfaces in common, then exposing it as a higher level abstraction can help simplify programs that then don't have to worry about type specific details if they don't need to.
Anyway even if nothing really is a file, I often find it useful to think about everything as one, as long as I don't forget it's actually not when the abstraction stops being valid. And I'd guess it also helps design and implement the system itself.

Well they are in this weird space of being able to be used to pull money from the account though ACH/demand drafts, so they _should_ be secret, but then as you said they are on the bottom of every check. Which is super weird, and not the case in other countries' banking systems.
It is of course only a matter of time before the use of VPN becomes a regulated service, maybe similar to gun control. If you can prove that you need it professionally you will be added to a government registry and allowed to use a VPN. Otherwise, no.

I'm consistently astounded at England's ability in the last couple of decades to move towards the fictional UK societies we see in 1984 and V for Vendetta. It's almost like the people have come to the exact opposite conclusion that the authors were trying to impress upon their audiences.

> "Wow, censorship, totalitarianism and mass surveillance are great ideas. We really should implement them."

Secondly, it is impossible to filter information within a society that doesn't have North Korea like tendencies. As soon as this filter goes up, people will just rent servers overseas, and get their internet via encrypted lines that aren't subject to censorship.

Banning porn is like trying ban alcohol. Everyone knows that it's a vice, everyone still does it (isn't 20% of global internet bandwidth porn?), and banning it just puts money into the hands of organized crime.

Thirdly, won't a bunch of mainstream award-winning films that come out every single year become illegal under this act? Games too for that matter. Say good bye to crime shows and violent film in the UK.

Finally, this is just one step away the Great Firewall of China. The argument that we need to protect children from the "corrosive" aspects of society might expand to other political parties, or ideas that aren't in the interests of those already in power.

The thing with censorship is that as soon as a you do a little, it's funny how quickly that becomes a lot. You just have to think of the children now then don't you?

I've seen freshly built networks about 5 years ago that had no encryption or authentication what-so-ever on their SIM cards. Anybody could "brick" any SIM with an OTA command to overwrite the IMSI file, or intercept SMSes by overwriting the SMS service center address, etc.

SIM vendor didn't want to install crypto keys for free, network operator didn't understand the importance...
SIM's use a derived key - which means that getting your hands on that key would only affect that specific SIM, and generally the Km (master key) exists only on an HSM.

There's not much point in the intelligence services going after these keys, if they can just put a box in the operator's data center and capture unencrypted traffic
You are just sounding like the prototypical PhD / Post Doc that tries to convince everybody that their work is the hardest and if they don't put in the 80h/week humanity will fail.

As a parent, I'm far more concerned about the crap kids are exposed to on mainstream TV over and over again, than the stuff they might accidentally stumble across a handful of times as they grow up, decide is gross and move on.
>That is not totally true. The reason most people stay with Windows is because the hardware ships with it.

Only every attempt to sell hardware that ships with Linux (by several companies) failed.

And the "switch to something different" didn't seem to bother those going to OS X.

OS X, in less time than what Desktop Linux was promoted (1998-2013 for Dektop Linux, 2001-2013 for OS X), and with more expessive hardware, went from 2% to around 12% in the US (and even more for laptop share).

>In my experience Linux usage has about 50% retention rate among those I installed the OS for.

There are not enough studies into the effect of pornography consumption:

This one claims no effect - ie, that consumption of pornography does not appear to increase the likelihood of rape:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2032762

The one mentioned here claims that cases of rape are decreasing with the availability of pornography:
http://voices.yahoo.com/online-pornography-helping-lower-rap...

Clearly nobody likes to think of perverts masturbating to pictures of children, but so long as no children are harmed to make that possible, who really cares?

I would love to see more studies done on the effects of pornography on violent crime - if we can decrease actual cases of child abuse by allowing, for instance, computer generated pornography of that type, then why not?
Are there any studies at all on the dangers of child exposure to porn?

Wow, my hat is off to you - that's a hell of a bug and excellent reporting when you were on a completely different team. I think this is the reason why, as QA, I have greater affinity to Ops people of all stripes than Dev or PM.

Ask HN: Save developer time by automating setup?
As a (self-claimed) advanced developer with 8 years experience (big company, start-up and freelance), I waste a lot of time when I am starting new web projects - researching and installing all necessary run-times & frameworks, creating a new project and then configuring it to work with the DB, mailer etc. All this saps up a lot of time and energy that I feel is better spent actually building my web application.

With a new technology stack, it could be the better part of a day or two (think Ruby on Rails and MongoDB for Windows). When it's a stack I'm very experienced on (say Linux, Nginx, Play Framework, MongoDB), my local setup is quite short (maybe 5 minutes or so) but I still spend a couple of hours or more setting up a new server from scratch, buying a domain, setting up A records, etc. There's also another issue with my local machine becoming a garbage bin with all sorts of DBs, frameworks and IDEs.

Somehow, I feel setting up your machine is a "solved" problem, since I always find my answers on one of the StackExchange sites. I've toyed with building a platform where, in a few seconds, you would have a private VM ready with your chosen stack setup and a new project created with all the right configuration. The only problem is that you would need to code on the VM (in a cloud IDE or through a terminal)

Do other developers on HN also think of this as a problem? Or do you see any allied problems (like getting a new team member to setup everything just right)? Or would a platform that automated setup not be worth your while to use?
Regardless of whether this is the prime minister's idea or the Daily Mail's idea, it's a slippery slope that we're being placed on here.

If we treat pornography as something inherently wrong (morally) and something which people should be shamed for, sooner or later we'll end up with a society which names and shames people who, quite rightly, exercise their right to view pornographic material, even the most 'softcore' of it.

The article is mixing stereolythografy and laser sintering.

When the patents of laser sintering will expire the laser scanner still has to be very accurate. And accurate laser scanners are expensive even without patent.

It might be different for stereolythografy. With a good beamer high resolutions are possible.

But then there are materials. The resin used for stereolythografy is expensive because of patents. The powder used for laser sintering is expensive because of patents.

Shouldn't politicians have extra ISPs that are not being monitored? I think politicians deal with so much sensitive information that they should be exempt from monitoring. Also, how are they supposed to form new policies on porn if they can't check it out unchecked?

Why are people so afraid of pornography? A healthy society is one that promotes sex. Not one that censors its citizens for 'the children.'

Don't get me wrong: People that look at children and the like should be caught and prosecuted. But really, the way to go about that isn't to ban ALL of pornography. Are we to ban butter knifes incase someone goes on a rampage with one? No, we identify the issues that cause someone to do that and go after them.

I don't see the point in spending millions of pounds blocking search engines when those millions could be spent on the core issue. If someone wants to look at illegal illicit images, I can guarantee you the majority aren't going to search for it on google using their home internet connection.
