Sadly I never took Redekopp as the AP CS course had me place out of CS101. CS102 was taught by Crowley when I took it, and four years later when I was TAing it.
Of course, by the DoD's book invading sovereign nations for no particular reason, causing between 109,032 and 1,033,000 civilian and combatant deaths (depending on how you count[1]) wasn't an "ethical failure." It was just "bad policy", based on poor intelligence.

Why is SHA-2 orange? As far as I know, besides length-extension, there's no known weakness on the full hash function.
Doesn't matter if his website is a hidden service or not. The communication between the website and the user is done through Tor relays, which are shared. There cannot be any unique ID tied to the user because that would break anonymity.
Do you have any proof of that ? Because I've been looking for info on that matter.
"With that in mind, what user would want to operate an exit node?"

All of the people who have already been running exit nodes for years? Those who don't mind getting that terrible knock on the door? Those who have already had that knock on their door, sometimes more than once, but who live in locations where they don't need to fear their local police?

You can argue that no one ever deserves to be harassed online, but I think you'd have to be utterly oblivious to continually act that way in public and not expect to be hated.
> How come a well resourced attacker hasn't done it?

Umm.. the article mentions that NK has been jamming GPS, and Iran allegedly landed US drone via GPS hacking.

Well resourced attackers are doing it.
I thought this would be totally hokey, but it wasn't. If Freeman Dyson says it's a brilliant idea, then maybe it is. I see it as being in the same category as the Hyperloop--at least worth a look at.
I'd be more inclined to agree with you, that Fish is simply another troll, if I'd seen any evidence of him responding to a perfectly reasonable review of FEZ with more "choke-on-my-dick" trollia.

There's a difference between simply being an asshole and being an Internet troll in my mind. Most of the things I've seen him saying is in response to some pretty inflammatory stuff.
I believe that in a free market buyers and vendors should both be free to set whatever terms they like and negotiate on whatever basis they choose. Government interference in that (e.g. by regulation of who must set what price or what their T&Cs must be) is therefore, by definition, non-free.
The concept of health insurance is a bit fucked up in the U.S., since everybody needs healthcare.

My country has a system that, while bad, sounds absolutely awesome compared to the U.S. . It's a socialist system that is called Mutualism.

The best explanation I could come up with after some Googling is: http://www.hmg.gov.uk/media/60217/mutuals.pdf "Mutual organisations do not have external shareholders - they are controlled by their members. Members may be users of the mutual, employees, other stakeholders or a combination of these Mutual organisations are either owned by and run in the interests of existing members, as is the case in building societies, cooperatives and friendly societies, or, as in many public services, owned on behalf of the wider community and run in the interests of the wider community"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutualism_(economic_theory)

It does have several downsides - mutual healthcare institutions are strongly discouraged from doing any healthcare on non life-threatening situations, waiting lists for surgeries are way too long, there's corruption and doctor bribing and queue-jumping and strikes... but it "works", most people have good healthcare and don't get bankrupt if they need surgery, for just about U$ 100 per month, and their families have coverage too.

This is a problem with social media. We've given away our privacy willingly. This also opens us up to the peanut gallery.
I think SHA-2 should be "minor weakness discovered" (if not outright "unbroken"), not "weakened".

At the onset of the SHA-3 competition, everyone was nervous about SHA-2: it appeared as though a good attack was inevitable, what with the cryptanalytic attacks on SHA-1.

But as the competition went on, things got calmer. The attacks against SHA-2 that were so expected simply weren't coming[1]. And so now the status quo is that SHA-2 seems pretty darn safe, and the real focus of the SHA-3 competition shifted towards not necessarily having a direct replacement for SHA-2, in the sense of performance, but instead having a design that was sufficiently different to not allow SHA-2 attacks to apply to it. And Keccak is just that: quite different.

Anyway, my point is that SHA-2 is mislabeled. Honestly, I think cryptographers recommend it the most out of any of the hash functions currently; SHA-3's software performance is rather... lacking.

[1] Some may argue that this is because cryptographers were focused on the SHA-3 candidates, but I'm not so sure
Where have all the grown-ups gone?
There's a very large chance they'll destroy all the other boards on 4chan. Every time /b/ goes down, either deliberately or due to a technical issue, its denizens flood out to the remaining boards and turn them into cesspits until it returns.
That's really not true. Almost all of his caustic responses were to people sending him shit. His post on the Steam forums was in response to trolls trashing his game. Just take a look at his forum posts.[0] Most are completely normal, while one or two are replying to jerks.

Fish isn't exactly a saint, and I'd venture to say he's quite a jerk (I'm not a fan of the shit he said about Japanese games.[1]) But the number of times Fish has dished it out is vastly outweighed by the number of times he's taken it.

Hi, I'm Ashu, the other founder of MGWU. Just want to add a couple things to Jeremy's response.

As specified later in the article, of a 99c app or in app purchase, 29c goes to Apple, 20c goes to MGWU and 50c goes to the developer. Thus as Jeremy mentioned, we only take 30% of post Apple revenues, much less than most publishers. This explains why devs get 50% of the revenue from a 99c app (as mentioned in the article). Again publishing through us is not mandatory, and developers retain ownership of 100% of the code they write during the internship.

Our intention was not to use their age for marketing, we initially told them to mention it in HN posts to show the supportive HN community what amazing things they are doing at a young age. Our recent posts have not included age (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6093363).

It really pains me to hear we're coming off as exploiting young developers, and I'm hoping this stems from a misunderstanding of our model. I absolutely agree that making games is about learning, creating and making, and we're doing everything in our power to enable more students to have better experiences building games.

BLAKE2 is a very good alternative if you want software performance: https://blake2.net/.

Show HN: CodeScoper - Search Google by language/framework releases
A coworker and I had this idea and it was something I threw together in a few hours. I am looking for feedback as to whether anyone else may find it useful.

The idea is that when troubleshooting code for languages/frameworks you more often than not will want to limit your search results to only be relevant to the dates for the release you are using.

CodeScoper (alternative name suggestions highly encouraged) solves that by letting you choose a framework or language, a release version or span of versions and a query which will then send you to google results with the date ranges specific to what you chose.

Any and all criticism is highly appreciated. If it is found useful then I'll spend some more time updating the user experience and adding in a bunch of different frameworks/languages/releases.
I'd like to see what a 21st century union looks like. It seems like you could cut down on a lot of the overhead and bureaucracy that is associated with unions via relatively new technologies such as the Internet.

One essential skill in life is knowing how to deal with losses. Ever notice how you play hard when you are behind in any game, but if you fall from the top you feel like quitting? That's where you are right now, so it's actually a good sign. You are in a great career field and managed to buy a home. That's ahead of many people already. Recognize that you are actually ahead, and you can fight back from any loss. When you take a break from the game, you realize you can climb back up just as easily.

In your case, you just need to fix your mistakes. First, find another job. Second, decide whether you can afford your house. Losing it is not the end. If it was a mistake, cut it out and lose the stress.

DO NOT LET YOUR HOME BE AN EMOTIONAL INVESTMENT. The fact is, it was not right for you, and not right now. Your mother deserves the best but she would much rather see you happy. Losing a house is nothing compared to losing you.

Bottom line, you feel like you are losing, but you are actually very much ahead. Don't let yourself go, because you actually have much further to fall than you think. Just fix your mistakes and move on.
If you allow parallel importation then you are in most cases obviating the need for a local subsidiary. Service? Sales? Support? Not a problem. Just contract it out.

And the Australian government is not going to take legal action in the US to create border import tariffs.

I continue to be astounded by all the self-righteous outraged people here demanding cheaper Photoshop and cheaper Steam games like it was some basic human right.
In some cases Yes. Specifically, for government regulated products such as Credit and Insurance it may be illegal to price discriminate based on Geo-IP, as the factors allowed for use in determining the pricing of the product are set by the government.

For example, I vaguely remember reading that in Quebec, Canada, you are not allowed to use people's location (postal code) when pricing banking services, for example.

Paymium: Walking Away From Free2Play
Most people are using GPS-disciplined oscillators, not raw GPS clocks, so don't need GPS coverage except for very long-term stability. The crystal in the oven stays plenty stable over the timeframe of hours and days, and takes priority over any shady-seeming GPS updates. The worst you can do is cause a loss of a few ppm clock stability. (These are only $200 on eBay and I have one at home. From time to time I have a bad GPS signal and my consumer-grade ntpd marks the GPS clock as a "false ticker" and falls back to the PPS signal only.)
I like admitting that you are wrong instead of saying "meh I didn't actually care about this."
Yes, Fish has said some shitty things. Back when that happened, I was one of the people who argued against him and said he was a huge dick. But that doesn't mean he deserves a flurry of abusive and hateful speech; it means people should tell him to shut up and learn some manners.

Surely you agree there's a difference between "being disliked" and "being on the receiving end of a torrent of abuse"?
While the rest of your comment is arguably useful,

is the exact kind of response I was complaining about. This one sentence says nothing.
Ditto with the GameFAQs LUE exodus many years ago. I'm very well familiar with how things happen.

Part of the solution is suffocating the community by ensuring no one new can access the site. Killing a site as big as LUE was (or as big as /b/ is today) isn't going to happen overnight. It has to happen slower with a deliberate plan.

There's a not-so-well known secret about 4chan that can't be glossed over when considering these kinds of things.

On 4chan, there's 5-10 boards that are implicit "cancer filter" boards. These boards are used to curate the community and prevent undesirable users from leaking into higher quality boards. The cancer filter boards serve as the public face of 4chan; /b/, /v/, /mlp/, and a handful of other boards are used to divert the attention of the unwashed masses to prevent contamination of higher quality boards. Desirable users will start their 4chan experience on one of these cancer boards, come to the conclusion that they're low quality, and move on to a different, usually non-cancer filter board.

Because of this filtering process, the demographics on each board vary wildly. Recently someone ran a statistical survey on several boards (n=~100/board) and found that the average age of users on cancer-filter boards was around 17-19, with the age increasing as you got to other boards. IIRC the average age on the niche hobbyist boards was between 23 and 25.

What this means is that if you were to just remove /b/ tomorrow, all those angry violent users are just going to leak into the other boards, and turn them into another /b/. Now instead of one "problem" board, you have a dozen.

The tldr here is that while most forum websites have a unified demographic across sub-forums, 4chan does not. Nuking the board won't get rid of problematic users, it will just displace them to another board.
Assuming you have the technical capability, requiring an email address and confirmation for only tor users could work.

Freenode does something similar - tor and other problematic traffic sources can connect but must use connect time SASL to authenticate to a previously created account, which is sufficient to exclude the vast majority of the griefers.
Agreed.

Also, got to give them props on support. I've stepped away from doing this for a living, but wanted an easy way to call my relatives overseas. The first attempt resulted in poor quality to the foreign landline. Cell was crystal clear. I notified Plivo team via the built-in chat and they had it fixed promptly.

This was a request from an extremely low-volume user calling European country Plivo doesn't support for anything other than dialing to. In other words, not a lot of $$$ to be made, but service was top notch!
It's not a miracle. It's impressive, but you're mischaracterising it.
Toxicological findings in cases of alleged drug-facilitated sexual assault in the United Kingdom over a 3-year period: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16054005

TL;DR: 1014 people claimed they were drugged and sexually assaulted. "In 21 cases (2%), a sedative or disinhibiting drug was detected..." So-called "date rape" drugs were a subset of these cases.
What about the cost of sharing all human audio-visual experiences? Because simply storing them, while cool and/or terrifying in and of itself, will leave a lot to be desired.
Funded by 4chan. Figure out how much money moot spends on bandwidth and hosting costs for /b/. It makes him in the strictest sense, a financial contributor to /b/. (Arguably in part, because he may feel held hostage by them).
Man, I'd like to let you to know something: it's not about how fucked up you are, but how you deal with it.

Just to begin, I live in the third world and you live the life I wish I could.

So, you can get a job somewhere else. Do it. Now, let's put some focus on your life: YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

I have quit my job also but I got my shit straight by doing college and shit, even though I'm from a poor family and all my class had more money and 'happiness' than me.

You know what? Happiness comes from the inside, from the outlook you have of life. If you created this post right here, right now, that can only mean a good thing: you are striving for the best. I've been suicidal for a long time in my life and thats because I was trying, you know. It was hard as hell, but that made me hard, and this is what you become once you go over all those problems, everything will look small.
But there is a free market happening. Free markets are defined by the absence of regulation and government intervention.

Adobe are using their market power in a free market to do price segmentation across national boundaries. If you try to regulate that (which you can't in practice anyway) the price of Photoshop will go up everywhere.
Current GPS receivers have a couple sources of error, including processing slowness and ionospheric delays. If you don't know what the ionosphere looks like, you can't be accurate to 0.2mm. There are ground stations that measure this (based on the fact that they aren't moving so any change in the GPS-calculated position means ionospheric changes) and transmit the correction data to other GPSes, but this doesn't get you to 0.2mm, at least not for a moving object.
It will provide power that never existed, additionally it makes things like windows be a less of a heat source for things like air conditioners to pump back out.

I don't know if its economical yet (nothing product wise available) so it is somewhat premature to even speculate if it is or isn't worth the effort. The idea is sound however to take advantage of unproductive real estate.

I spent half my life feeling suicidal, and I'm talking daily graphic suicidal fantasies.

But something I heard once stuck. "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem", and I made it my mantra. And you know what? Eventually life got better and now it's fucking awesome. There is always a chance of that, unless of course you kill yourself, and then you miss out on all that future joy.

I pulled a few screen caps from bing for expediency's sake. The UI is very spartan, lots of whitespace, minimal chrome (UI busy-ness is what drove me away from Newsblur), and it's fast. One complaint is the large amount of whitespace when reading the story but it's tolerable. They aren't monetizing yet, unless they are it's via data aggregating (highly likely I guess) but there are no ads. I'd like to hear what the long term plans are.

Another user pointed to bazqux.com which has a similarly clean UI but with the added bonus of pulling in comments which would be a nice time saver. And the are upfront about charging for the product which makes me feel a little better about long term prospects. I'll probably put it through the paces speed wise and see if I want to migrate one last time.

Obviously people on HN aren't quite aware of who Phil Fish is. Try reading the forums over at TIGsource where you'll see that the general sentiment (in the indie community) is that he's a pompous douche and general asshole who probably should not have been even featured in the indie game documentary that came out 2 years ago.

What's happening to him is shitty, true. He also has done shitty things to people in the past. One does not justify the other. However, my only point is only that the indie community (talking about devs/designers/artists) as a whole would rather have him gone.

Indeed, and this is the same strategy that Reddit uses to "contain" clopclop and jailbait.

A few years ago, I was interested in the physics of getting LEO costs down, so I did some computer modeling.

This general idea was the best I could find. Put the mechanics and fuel for the vast majority of orbital insertion inside some ground-based system, instead of trying to carry it. Impossible to use with humans, but for lots of other stuff like supplies, more fuel, habitats, etc -- should work fine. At least as far as I could tell. It's much more feasible than a Space Elevator, and no new tech needs to be invented.

Having said that, I'm not so sure this is going to work in KickStarter format. Sure, build a bigger laboratory model, but to make this really work it's going to need a lot of cash.
