> How long do we think this Indian protection of this island will last?
Is this a rhetorical question? A call to arms so that someone "more responsible" takes over the island and helps protect the "noble savage"? Or did you want an actual response?

> mafia related Italian family

Did you mean the Italian mafia? Because the only references to such a thing that I can find are from what look like conspiracy stories.

Alternatively, was the fact they were "Italian" supposed to count against them?
No, I just installed it from Germany.
But as Bradley says if this was the reason for the license change why did they not switch to eg BSD? Something that would solve the problem definitively.
I'm not sure you have much choice when you are born in such a society. You are probably very much expected/forced to stay and be useful to your tribe. Freedom is very relative...
I am not from US and I can be very wrong, but can it be that things like this are the result of "feel good, don't offend anybody" attitude?
Munin is probably the best known open source server monitoring tool. It is relatively easy to set up from memory, I think it was just a case of uncommenting a load of config lines for the things you want to monitor in the standard Ubuntu package.

Because a huge tanker stuck in the water would not freak them out, maybe? It's way more impressive than a small drone flying around, for people who don't even have boats.
Why leave them alone?

(I have my own reasons why they should or shouldn't be left alone. I am just curious to figure out why you are so insistent that they be left alone.)
Yes, I saw this, but seems to be limited to the Promotions filtered tab which, well, an advert next to an advert. I'm kind of okay with that. But it does make you wonder if this is the start of a slippery slope.
http://karma-engineering.com/lab/wiki/Clojure but, this is only quick review.

It is possible, for example, to go through some books, especially "The Joy Of Clojure" which contains 20 line of marketing slogans for 1 line of code, and make explicit commentaries on all the subtle differences, but I'm not going to perform such a tedious task for free.)
Ask HN: What's the best site/app that you use to manage your money?
Hi guys,

Just wondered what site/app that you use to manage your money? What makes it so good? If you could create your own site/app that manages money what features would you pack it with?

thanks!
That's true, but that any "dynamically-typed and lexically scoped languages" with closures and first-class functions could be considered mainstream is fairly new. Crockford wrote "JavaScript: The World's Most Misunderstood Programming Language", which I think is the source of the idea that JavaScript is like Scheme, back in 2001. At that point, Ruby was almost unknown, Python was fairly minor, PHP didn't have closures or first-class functions; the other major programming languages were statically-typed things like C++ and Java.

So I think it's worth remembering that it's really a very recent development that we can now treat it as obvious that a language like JavaScript would contain the things it has in common with Scheme.
JAX-RS is just not fun! That's at least my opinion. I just took a brief look to spark-java but it looks more fun than JAX-RS, because it looks very simple and straight forward. That's at least my first impression.
> thousands of years of war, famine, plague, slavery, and endless grinding inequality (still haven't quite fixed that one it seems) to get where we are now?

Are you trying to tell me that these "noble savages" didn't have war, didn't have famine or inequality?
Some would argue it's the second step on a slippery slope (yay for mixed metaphors!) - the first step being ads in an email client. At least the rate of descent is so far moderately glacial.
If this becomes a thing, I might actually switch to something else.

I think this is a slippery slope. They are essentially unsolicited mail that you never asked for. Some people will genuinely use the promotions tab to receive email from companies for which they have requested promotions be sent to them. Google is getting a free ride without permission.
The operative word in that sentence is lawyer.
A. it is clearly what they want.

B. contact with us is likely to be deadly to them.
That is what they are doing. In fact, the article (or Wikipedia), says India has already made it illegal/discouraged to go near the island.

Plants are limited resources. Even if you wanted to make drugs out of it, it does not scale very well. That's why most of our drugs are synthetic. That's scalable chemistry. Analyzing active ingredients in plants is a lengthy and costly process. And even if they worked as advertised, you would need to go through clinical trials to have them accepted in other countries. You don't put drugs on the market just like that.

Net, it's very costly and it's been tried before, as far as I know, on several plants from the Amazon area. I need to find the source again, but from what I remember most plants failed against placebo. There's probably a lot of placebo effect in the efficacy claimed by people living in these areas.
This is from the documentary Objectified - it's full of really interesting interviews like this one http://www.objectifiedfilm.com/ (there are also some extra interviews on the DVD/Bluray which I don't think you get with a digital copy)
Likewise, I've been thinking about moving away from Google Apps for a while and this may be the push that I needed.

Anybody have any suggestions? Self-hosted or otherwise.
It sort of makes sense to me that Google, in exchange for giving me a free email account, would email ads to my free email account. Microsoft always has; I can't tell you how many times I saw "Hotmail (1)" on my MSN screen and clicked through only to find it was some ad for some Microsoft thing or another. At least with Google's version, it's very, very clear that these are ads; they don't even make your inbox get a (1) next to it or anything.

Without TCO you have stack overflows, and without proper numeric tower you have integer overflows. Roughly speaking, one of the aspect of why it isn't Lisp is underlying Java stuff.
> looking at this island (looks huge!), am I the only one who feel so sick and tired of what the US government does to its people and our land, that I want to fill up my jetski and just head that way? Only if the tank was large enough...

Yeah, you should actually try going and living in some of these luddite paradises that you think exist. I grew up in Ethiopia. Very luddite. No U.S. government there either. Except people used to get shot on the streets and their family used to get charged for the bullets used to shoot them.

> somewhere under the green down there there are living people like me and you that do not know what internet is... or cell phones.. or ipads.. cable TV... anything..

I was in Bhutan a few months back. Just me, a few rich people trying to find themselves, no cell phones or ipads or whatever. It was paradise. Except you know, half a million people who had lived for six generations there had been shipped off the country unceremoniously. [1]

I've made my point. That's why all you appear have left is ad hominem and conflation.

You're more than welcome to believe the Official Fables of the 9/11 Myth Cycle. Knock yourself out.

I'd love for Google to work out how much money they make from me in a year, and then to offer to go ad-free for 50% more than that.

At least then I could make an informed decision.

I think it is fair to assume that health and life are universal standards. I'm willing to bet on in.
Who would have that that a major change would be used to provide advertisements from the biggest online advertising company?
Yes, the scoping in your example is lexical. That's why ugly returns k regardless of where you call it from; we can reason lexically to show that.

The i in ugly is lexically resolved to refer to a particular declaration, the one on the line below it. Scheme's lexical scoping rules are not the only possible lexical scoping rules. A lexical scoping system does not cease to be lexical simply because it is not the same as Scheme's lexical scoping. For it to be non-lexical, the scoping would have to depend on something other than the lexical structure of the program. For example, you could just as well have a dynamically-scoped JS in which ugly's return value would depend on its caller's binding for i, and in which calling a function with a free i from within example would make example's binding for i visible to that other function, but that isn't the way JS works.

It's quite reasonable to argue about whether that scoping is sane, and indeed with "let", the ES folks are giving us a saner binding construct; but it is certainly the case that the relationship between the declaration and the use of a variable is established by the lexical structure of the program text, not the dynamic structure of the executing program.
Sort of makes sense...otherwise goggle is basically providing a space for others to advertise to you inside their application, which makes little business sense.
I've tried outlook.com and it was OK. I wonder if this can help make hotmail relevant again.
That's a pitty. I went there daily because they had good quality coverage, sometimes of topics I didn't read anywhere else. You will be missed, The H....
I'm not fighting for a free, open OS. I'm supporting a good balance of usable tools in a capitalist system. OSX is the most usable tool I've been fortunate enough to be able to afford. Given a choice for important data, I'll also go with open source. My OS doesn't fall into that requirement - only the apps that run on it.

The "hacker" in "hacker news" has little to do with any traditional meaning of hacker. I'm not sure why it's in there at all really.

They seem to live their lives essentially worry-free and they take care of each other. There are records of elderly population.

They seem to like it the way they have it and seeing that their neighbouring tribesmen were either massacred or suffered extremely lethal epidemics, they seem to have achieved the most evolutionarily intelligent behaviour of the region by keeping strangers the fuck away from their island.

Secrecy of a skunk works project: Why?
I used to have a Twitter clients with tabs, and one tab for the people I always wanted to read (~40), and another for the rest. Since I don't have that client anymore, my Twitter usage has declined dramatically.
I like to use Twitter to get in touch with the world without being overwhelmed too much stuff.

I try to keep my following list < 50. It's usually a mix of real life friends, interesting people on Internet and services I rely on. A couple of those should not be there but my current client (Tweetbot) allows you to mute them.

Think about other instances in which the U.S. government "forces" companies into doing things: say a new EPA reg or a new SEC reg. Every such activity is met with a flood of litigation from the companies affected. But here, apparently only Yahoo put up a fight.

It's really not comparable though... It took Yahoo six years to earn the right to communicate about one particular lawsuit[1]. We have no idea how many legal challenges Google, Apple, and others are involved in but prevented from talking about.

My long-time observation is that compatibility is one of areas where open source really shines. Wine is a highly successful project, and so is Dosbox. OpenOffice, LibreOffice go to great lengths to achieve .doc compatibility. While OSS tends to suffer in creativity department (you mostly get free X - free photoshop-like program, free Word, FreeCiv, countless Quake1 clones, and heaps of "clone" games), compatibility of OSS is unmatched.
>publish their resumes and contact info on your website

Quite a few companies do. The fact is: If you love your job, you won't leave. It's not a hard concept.
Oh, it is exactly the traditional meaning. Just that instead of hacking on some OSS projects, people here tend to hack on their own (hopefully) commercial stuff. But hacking remains.
http://www.roundcube.net/ is generally agreed to be the best webmail system. It's OSS.

If they wanted it, certainly, but they attack any non-islanders who come near so it seems reasonable to assume they're not interested.

Besides, what do they need to know that they don't already after living on the same island for 65,000 years? I'm assuming you're thinking about modern medicine but I expect they have their own ways of dealing with illness, and increasing their life expectancy might actually make things worse - the island can presumably only support a limited number of people at any one time.
Hadoop Concepts and Introduction

Agreed. Further, if helping the secret service to prosecute under these just new laws <sic> is such a worthwhile cause, what are they so afraid of? Should they not be proud to be identified?

>"MIT claims it’s afraid the release of Swartz’s file will identify the names of MIT people who helped the Secret Service and federal prosecutors pursue felony charges against Swartz for his bulk downloading of academic articles from MIT’s network in 2011."

Let me get this straight. There are academics involved, who are supposed to be professionally on the side of the freedom of information. They instead choose to inform on a colleague and ruin his life and then, knowing what they had done is morally objectionable on many levels, they use the fact that they might well be criticised for it to stifle information again and try to justify anonymity for themselves?!?

If I was a bright young student I would no longer consider MIT. What can one hope to learn from people like these?

Sadly, this whole case brings up uncomfortable parallels with anonymous informants always crawling out of the woodwork and taking delight in ruining their neighbours' lives, whenever a despotic regime takes hold of a society.
I used to use it quite a lot, but since using iOS7 on my iPhone and losing the quick tweet button in the notification center, my tweets have dropped. http://twitter.com/jbrooksuk

I wish Twitter had an App.net-type system where you can continue reading from where you left off.
This a list of projects I'd like to implement, a couple of them are there only because I want to learn the specifics about a language/tool: http://mheroin.com/projects. Some I consider fun:

* Controversipedia: Take a dump of Wikipedia, publish only the controversy/criticism of entries.
I have tried a lot of different solutions to manage my twitter feed. All from Desktop apps (Tweetdeck, Metrotwit) to commandline apps (TTytter + more). In the end i settled for Tweetbot[1] for iOS (Mainly iPad) so i have limited myself to only check Twitter when i'm on my iPad, which fits me quite nicely, so i dont get distracted when working on my PC.

Brew's got you covered, to find mysql for instance it's just

$ brew search mysql
so how many people do you follow? and do you read all the tweets in the timeline? have you never got irritated by the crap that people come up with? for me its like, i get irritated and my fuse shorts :) and then hit back with a biting tweet, which is actually a result of getting irritated on the BS tweets which I find in the TL.

due to these reactive tweets I have lost couple of followers over time ;)

having read your thoughts, do you think, there can be something like zero inbox for twitter??
I like to just follow people whose tweets I actually want to read to begin with. Before following anyone I check their last few days worth of tweeting to make sure they don't post junk and that I will be interested in what they have to say. Twitter is not meant to be a friendship or connection manager like Facebook or LinkedIn so much as it is a way to get concise info delivered quickly. Obviously it can be a great networking tool, but by getting others to follow you by sharing good content, not by following junk tweeters in the hope that they'll follow you back. If you're too afraid to unfollow those whose tweets are junk you're not using Twitter correctly.

Edit: That being said, I feel like a client that would let people sift through tweets more efficiently could be great for those who don't agree with me and end up following 10k+ people, and that approach definitely isn't uncommon.
The problem is if Google were to do that, the value of their ads would plummet since the kind of people who would pay to opt out of ads are the same people who would be most likely to pay for things in ads.

Not 100% sure but I think this is is the same reason TV companies don't want to offer their content for streaming online, and Hulu can't remove ads for its premium users.
Australian Asylum Seeker Policy: send refugees to Papua New Guinea.
Yes and those islands are also protected by the Indian Navy quite diligently. It's important to prevent curious assholes from touching the island for two reasons:

1. These tribes have not developed medical immunity against the kind of diseases we're host to.

2. They're truly wild and curious like us too. Protecting the former quality needs a restraint from our side.

I've been to Andaman & Nicobar in 2004 and did feel a sense of excitement and curiosity when at the edge of our side of world. Check out this fifteen year old video on these tribesmen, their walking manners and the gap that we're talking about here [1].

Andamans have a tremendous diversity with its colonial history, modern day torture equipment at Cellular jail that the Brits used during their rule of the region, and exotic tribes like these. Apart from blue beaches and coral life that most tourists love to see.

Vertical growth is the logical choice for SF, but it's complicated by two huge factors.

The first, as others have pointed out, is NIMBYism. SF has the most stringent zoning laws I've ever seen. Furthermore, lots of the deep-pocketed residents and real estate developers have been successful in fighting off verticalization.

The second major factor is instability. SF is famously overdue for "The Big One" and is known to be seismically unstable. But what a lot of people don't realize is precisely why it's so unstable: because a large portion of it was basically built on wet sand and landfill. If you look at topographic or seismic maps of SF, you'll see that much (most?) is built on areas of liquefaction. It can be unsafe to build highrises on shaky ground.

The first problem can be solved, albeit not easily. The second problem is a time bomb waiting to go off. Perhaps in our lifetimes, or perhaps in the next generation's.
I think we have already established that TCO is not necessary to be a Lisp (CL, Emacs Lisp).
While it's true that Clojure doesn't have a proper numeric tower it does have bignum support and arbitrary precision math operators which will not overflow. But either way, imo this is not a defining feature of a Lisp dialect.

Good specs
Sometimes you have to think for yourself and don't just follow specs.
Or even better, just sell their email software system so people can purchase it and install it on whichever server they want.
Why are people who hate ads more likely to be influenced by them?
So after reading this, my only question is why they couldn't make it profitable.
People who can't tune out ads are most likely to be both influenced by, and aggravated by, them. People with "banner blindness" might not complain about your ad, but they're not worth a penny to the advertisers.
I use the old "dip-in-dip-out" technique.

If I miss a load of tweets then I just have to accept that I missed it. It isn't the end of the world.
I'd say it's exactly the reverse. The people who are most bothered by ads are the people to whom the ads provide the lowest value, and are thus the least likely to click them. For example, me.
No. Otherwise Google is providing a space for you to receive ads from others, which makes the same kind of business sense that offering an e-mail service in the first place does.
