I'm not sure why this submission is on HackerNews?

Many of the comments seem to be less about the article, and more about the commenter's opinion of Obama.
Is there a similar tool to see what a certain option in a command does, without opening the man page?
This happened to me. THE TRIAL IS A TRAP!

Seriously, do NOT test this out unless you want to be put on the paid version of Google Apps. It's completely underhanded and false ... they will feed you some rubbish about how you 'cancelled your account' instead of stopping the trial and that they can't do anything to help.

I repeat: THE TRIAL IS A TRAP

Do no evil my arse ...
I should add that I have no issue with paying for services - even being forced OFF free services with appropriate notice. But this is deceptive, plain and simple.

/excreting cholesterol may swing the pendulum too far in
the opposite direction.

End of story: while your body might get along with
cholesterol-free Soylent, the “gut decision” to
disinclude a vital compound may prove to be short-
sighted sometime down the road.

The words "End of story" and "may prove to be" do not belong in the same sentence, paragraph, thought, or visible on the same screen.

This is a hyper aggressive article that fails to impress.
You only get one option when you 'cancel' the trial. This is exactly what they told me - it's a lie.
I recommend Interactive Brokers...and couple it with the ActiveQuant (open source) trading framework. (For some reason I am getting a malware warning by Google when accessing the ActiveQuant website...you may want to wait until they fix it).
I suspect NASA has safety a higher priority than efficiency. They might go that route, but why take the risk?
I do completely realize this, but if that's truly the only barrier then we're left in the interesting position in which we can increase society's freedom of communication by increasing energy efficiency.

Or maybe then someone could prove that real freedom is impossible due to the physics of the situation, or that freedom is possible today for exactly X people because we must limit ourselves to X devices in the world for the system to work, or that we need to harness the power of 1000 suns to achieve true freedom -- whatever, to me it still seems an interesting thought experiment to establish the boundaries of the problem. I can see why more practical minds may hate this approach.

EDIT: Ah, or maybe there is a bitrate at which free communication is possible today -- if everyone sends only 96 bits per day or 8 bits per day at equal intervals, would this keep the internet from melting down. Over time, that bitrate would increase.
Implementing a negative income tax or minimum income would do wonders for the first world poor.

It's been done before with overwhelming success.

Honestly, having profit as the sole motivation for enterprise in society is strangling the developing world.

I stopped at 'you should never'
I would never mention that awful film. I only mentioned mcdonalds, because I grew up on "fast-food" and not healthy balanced diet food... actually I didn't know anything about nutrition until the soylent thing came out, and I decided I wanted to make my own version, so I started researching.

I have my own criticisms of soylent but that's not my point. (I don't think soy to be the best form of protein. I'm experimenting with a combination of almonds and chicken breast right now) so if, and when I become as well knowledgeable as that guy, and perfect my recipe I may post it for others to see -- but I don't know enough yet. I think he could have been more constructive though. I think maybe that actually soylent (or any other one-size-fits-all solution) is not universally good for everyone. maybe we should all be experimenting and trying to create a variety of different recipes.

>However, it in no way, shape or form - unless you subscribe to a racist notion that skin color determines behavior - suggests that hispolitics would be in any way different than usual

This is a naive and remarkably shallow statement. His skin color has certainly contributed a great deal to his experience and experience informs our politics for all of us. Listen to his comments on the Zimmeman verdict. When people (of all races) felt he was "their guy" it is in part because of a certain "underdog" association we assign to minorities in a majority culture. And it is reasonable to expect a certain sensitivity from a person whose culture has experienced its share of struggle.

His work as a community organizer was more an indication of his character and concern for those who were struggling. It wasn't about his performance. It was about his heart. And, remember, in 2008 many people were struggling. They felt he related to them.

You stated that his background/experiene is unremarkable, then went on to list many of the reasons it actually is remarkable. I mean, you literally remarked on it. So, apparently we agree.

>And all his objections to Bush's expansion of the government on the wake of 9/11 turned to be purely partisan gamesmanship

That's hindsight. Your original point was that people had no reason to believe he was different back then.
I have come to the conclusion that copyleft is the most ethical decision I can make for user of the software I write.
Nothing wrong with them. You're addressing the issue of authentication, but there are more systemic problems to the internet than just authentication.

Such as, preventing network timing attacks to figure out which internet subscriber is communicating with another subscriber, by routing more directly between two peers, thus bypassing surveillance points as much as possible.

It should also be possible to defend against nationstate enforced network splits by introducing adhoc connections, as easily as deploying a pair of devices across borders.

There might ideally be a method of compensating routers in real time with some distributed currency, to incentivize the growth of this network.

It's really difficult to bypass surveillance efforts by global telecoms, when most people get their internet channeled through central systems.
Totally agree with the sentiment, but just a minor nitpick. You can still get a free Google Apps account for a domain name BUT you have to go through the App Engine admin console to do it. In Application Settings>Add Domain there is a "Signup for Google Apps" link that will let you create a single user account for free.

They make you jump through hoops to get it!
Great thought. That's why SkyMall (profitable, $100M+ revenue) should merge with an unprofitable reverse-merger OTC trading company that is unprofitable with $10M trailing revenue on 40/60 terms.

Instead of doing that, maybe they could have hired technical staff and built a mobile app themselves?
Let's say the pre-money valuation of a startup is $4m and they raise $1m. The syndicate would own 20% of the company.

Let's say the company exits for $20m. Let's ignore preferred stock and assume it's all common to make the math easier. The syndicate would get $4m.

The first $1m would be payed back to the entire syndicate. The lead would get an additional 20% of the $3m or $600k. Then the rest of the $2.4m would be split amongst the syndicate.

You made some big claims that network effects should be hurting iOS already, when its obvious opposite is still true (iOS is a healthier ecosystem than Android in spite of its lower marketshare).

I've made no such claim. My claim is that the network effects which have previously helped Apple (iTunes, iCloud, iMessage, exclusive apps etc) depend on a non-niche market share and inter-product synergy. They're approaching a dangerous tipping point here, IMO. How many iPhone users no longer sync to iTunes, for example?

It is not obvious that Apple could win, or even survive, by going after the low end, or by being more general. Apple is great as a premium brand, but as a shoddy value brand like Samsung?

They've done nothing but lose ground since Jobs died. The time to try alternative strategies is now. Plus, there's a lot of livable room between a premium brand and junk brand. Apple can continue to charge a premium over Android, IMO, but not the extreme premium they've enjoyed since 2007.

How many iOS users even bother with iMessage? Just install WeChat and forget about it.

Apple should care about this because it's one fewer thing keeping people from easily switching to another brand. More and more the apps people care about are available on other platforms and that shifts the debate to cost and/or other features like screen size, stylus support etc.
CoffeeScript has good use cases and we should talk about its benefits rather than unnecessary rants and negativity.
I scanned your comment and read it wrong the first time. I thought you were saying that the NSA is a sign of things becoming fucked up again. That I can agree with.

The thought that what the NSA is doing (especially if we limit the discussion to what they are doing inside America) contributes even a little bit to preventing another WWII blows my mind. I don't even know how to argue with that. It seems so obvious that that couldn't be further from the truth.
I didn't realize that you could respond with image macros on HN.

Ok, so it's a complicated image. The first thing I thought is it looks like the schema of a simple arithmetic operation in a processor. Meaning that it looks complicated, but it doesn't tell us anything. I see dots and lines and pretty colors, but I don't see an argument.
For those having hard time to see, I believe expecting something to see beforehand would help you see it. I weren't able to 'see' those images, but after I saw once the rest were easy.

So I'll describe what you should expect to see. The image consist of 3 equal sized columns. Left and right columns are not part of the tetris field and have the same depth with the page itself (Z=0). Middle column is the tetris field with 5 playable columns which is the deepest layer on the page (Z=-2). And the tetris pieces are on an intermediate layer between those two layers (Z=-1). You now should be able to imagine what the game will be like. Hope that helps.
I had some experience with GnuPG and Symantec PGP and Outlook a few years back. All non-public information like CAD files were supposed to be PGP encrypted. Yet, even the engineers would send most files in plain text. I remember many times having to logmein to a clients machine to try to figure out why they couldn't read our emails. This is why PGP never took off.

Until the tools take 5 min to setup, and encryption/decryption is automatically handled by the mail client, PGP will never take off. Things like the public key directory have to handled transparently to the user.

It's too bad Mozilla dropped support for Thunderbird. Tight integration with GnuPG plugin could have made mainstream PGP a reality. For OS X at least, it looks like GPGMail is nearly there.
How many iOS users even bother with iMessage?

Over 250 million. 2 billion iMessages are sent per day.
Neither version of that statement is relevant to the discussion. We were talking about the reasons people might have expected him to be different.
This is my exact outlook on it. You have a very fair chance of Soylent being significantly healthier than your current diet (as an American). At the very least, it provides the nutrients that a hundred years of studying dietary deficiencies have proved necessary and will possibly give some indication of necessary nutrients that we have overlooked.
It's the same concept as a number of established licenses, like CC0 (http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/), except with sillier wording. I doubt there's any real purpose to it.
No. Degrees of trust are allowed, and you can choose to do different things in different contexts (browsing vs email) depending on the likelihood and likely damage of betrayal.
That has poor health consequences. Perhaps we should outlaw forks?
I disagree somewhat. I see politics as merely trailing behind actual physical surveillance ability. The politics are introduced as post-facto justification to lubricate the process, but aren't needed.

We can slow the expanding encroachment by introducing say the Amash bill, but the real solution must come first from defensive technology, secondarily protected by policy.
This doesn't seem like a good argument. You could provide a diagram of a modern car that would be just as complex as a section of this image, but I don't think anyone would argue that it's inherently impossible to understand the necessary inputs to that.
Yes, unfortunately. Next time maybe I don't put the word "Obama" in the actual title...
Haha, I didn't play long enough to realize all the methods ended with a bang, this is awesome.
Why "feature" in quotes? You don't think it's useful? You can star other peoples' repositories as well, which is where it seems to be more helpful.
I'm quite curious whether all that additional text in CC0 would be likely to truly make a difference in any type of court case.

Windows 8 is better in many ways which unfortunately many people do not notice or care. For example how can you not like the hardware acceleration benefits of Windows 8 (desktop) compared to Windows 7? The file system and font handling are also superior to Windows 7 which is huge for people who use a keyboard and mouse. I am only asking because maybe its a graphic card incompatibility that creates these bad experiences. Windows 7 is an awesome OS but Windows 8 is clearly better after using it in desktop mode for a week even on hardware from 2006.
Just replying to what you said:

*something that the entirety of the federal and state
governments rely upon?*

This is not the case at all. The NSA has only existed for
65 years, we can do just fine without it.
Starting from this premise, imagine this sequence of questions (it's not the answer, btw):

1. What is the answer to the next question? A: 1, 0

2. What was the answer to the previous question? B: 1, 0

3. What was the answer to the previous question? C: 1, 0

000-impossible: no false god

001-C is the false god, but can't distinguish the other two

010-impossible: no true god.

011-C is the true god, but you can't distinguish between the false and random god

100-A is the false god, but can't distinguish the other two

101-impossible: no true god.

110-A is the true god, but you can't distinguish between the false and random god

111-impossible: no false god

This is interesting: we have eliminated 4 possibilities, 000, 111, 101 and 010. Not only that, now we have a whole new universe to converse about - we can ask the gods about these patterns!

The remaining possibilities show some symmetry: 001 and 100, 011 and 110.

So, thinking aloud, start with these questions:

1. Will the result of my questioning be either 001 or 100?

2. Will the result of my questioning be either 011 or 110?

The answers won't give us much information because they can be anything. But we can "break symmetry" and ask them like this instead:

1. Will the result of my questioning be either 001 or 011?

2. Will the result of my questioning be either 100 or 110?

...and I feel like I'm very close but I'm missing something.

It's really weird how the top response to most links critical of the NSA or the american security apparatus is some defense of the whole thing.

I wonder if the "hacker" community values being contrarian that much more than the truth, or whether there's deliberate vote stuffing going on.

The C standard specifies a good proportion of bad ideas, though mostly out of backward compatibility.

Just consider size_t and its friend ptrdiff_t. Suppose you're trying to copy a slice out of an array. If the array indices are size_t, the length of your slice is ptrdiff_t, which you cannot then safely pass to malloc.

There are two solid solutions; (a) limit allocation to the positive range of the signed integer type (e.g. 2GB in 32-bit apps), or (b) use the next signed type up. C, being a systems-level language, doesn't want to take the limitations of (a) nor the platform dependence of (b). The result is that it makes it very hard to get right for average programmers not used to writing OSes and standard libraries.

It's no theoretical issue. When I was working on the Delphi compiler, I had to audit the runtime library to eliminate integer overflow issues. It wasn't trivial to catch them all, and they can become security bugs with medium difficulty. It was eye-opening enough to make me wary.
I can find ensure for around $1-2 per bottle. Not really that expensive. Even if you didn't have to purchase food that you were planning on preparing, ensure would be the cheaper alternative.

"A little shame is a good thing" says to everybody around you that you're more interested in feeling good about yourself than helping people. And it's a joke to boot.

Bingo. If I were selling on premise software, this would be in my deck. Selling fear is one of the oldest sales tricks in the book.

I do believe however that enterprises act more rationally than consumers. So while consumers seem to be falling in to the "meh, I don't have anything to hide" camp, enterprises tend to be a bit more conservative. The thought of the NSA's private contractors going through customer data and hr records could actually be enough to slow down some of these enterprise SaaS companies.

They are not necessarily obvious. With a gyro stabilized camera, you can use very high magnification and still track a target. Here's article about this technology and what it can do: http://articles.latimes.com/2007/mar/30/entertainment/et-cin...

They can get detailed images from two miles away. It would be pretty hard in most city environments to notice that a helicopter two miles away is following you. That covers enough area that the helicopter could fly patterns that make it look like it is doing some kind of survey or training or something innocuous, so that even if you notice it, it would not seem suspicious.
You will never get your first client sitting in front of your laptop. Few things you can do is - Build a free site for a small business in your neighbourhood. Go out and talk to them. Build it like you are building your own. Then slowly word-of-mouth publicity will start getting you clients.

If you are planning to register on websites like oDesk, then i would suggest you to work under someone who is already there and have a client base. Then slowly start building your own.

I hope this will help you. Good Luck!!
Really, it wasn't that much better, at least not to me at the time. I'd switch search engines every few months, or more accurately have 3 or 4 search engines to deploy against difficult queries.

Google was _slightly_ better than alltheweb.com at the time that I added it into the mix. But it slowly began to win more and more of the "query requires using 4 search engines" contests and eventually I only used one.
So while i certainly trust his view of "the state of the caselaw as it currently exists", i take his view of "what a court is likely to decide" with a huge grain of salt. On that front, IMHO, he's been wrong more than he's been right.

As a minor defense of Kerr, I think he does do some good descriptive/realist analysis of how courts are likely to actually decide as well, as in his "equilibrium-adjustment theory of the 4th amendment": http://www.harvardlawreview.org/media/pdf/vol125_kerr.pdf

I think there's a good argument that equilibrium-adjustment could actually explain courts' desire to make the rare/pervasive distinction here that Kerr elsewhere claims doctrinally shouldn't work.
