My CS program focused strongly on OO and our core language was Java. Exceptions were a regular subject and part of assignments. It seems insane that someone could have a CS degree and not know something so simple and fundamental.
Haha look at those socialists, they ran out of energy.
Remember when Steve Jobs announced FaceTime as if it was going to be a cross-platform videochat standard?
This is really a debate to have elsewhere - not in a hacker news comment thread. Libertarian socialists, which is most schools of anarchist thought, don't see anarcho-capitalism as a strain of anarchism, but there is certainly a long history of individualist strains of anarchism that anarcho-capitalism draws on and anarcho-capitalists certainly consider themselves anarchist.

And I say this as an anarcho-communist who disagrees with the economic theories of anarchy capitalists but am well schooled in anarchist theory - traditional and contemporary.
Assuming that the visit is actually related to Internet monitoring, then the monitoring algorithm is certainly not 'everybody who searches X AND Y AND NOT Z,' but rather some calculated terrorism score. Actually I think it is entirely possible, that whoever does this has no actual idea how the score is calculated and the machine learning algorithm did just pick them because of a random similarity to the search profile.
That Samsung ad has been wildly successful and has been running for a very long time. It only comes across "badly" to existing iOS nuts.

I won't speak to the marketing copy here. I agree it certainly doesn't move me, but then I'm (and no doubt you're) hardly in the target demographic either.
Basically, it's a modern day "posse" made up of individuals from Federal law enforcement (FBI, Secret Service, ICE, Border Patrol, etc) and from local or specialized law enforcement (railroad police, etc).

The officers are basically deputized as JTTF members. It's a common model that's been around for a long time. For example, the US Marshalls have a fugitive task force for picking up suspects with arrest warrants and the DEA has something similar for drug raids.
Interesting, I don't remember that. I do, however, remember him buying up all the unicorn dolls at Christmas and then scalping them to last-minute parents.
But completely unrelated.

I agree, it is a better article. But the OP is about Sweden, and reads as a poorly executed "Us too" press release. Your article is about a similar (but slightly different) problem in Norway. Hence my down vote.

We have also used the core of this to create an IO class for saving state to disk and back. You can find it here:

https://github.com/uacaps/NSObject-ObjectIO

It's a one liner to save complex objects (see demos) with encryption. We used AES-256 encryption with PBKDF2 for the key gen. That said, we would be more than happy to hear reviews on the efficacy of our method. Thanks!
Just curious: why are you reading code on your phone? I've heard of doing basic web-dev stuff via mobile (using stuff like Diet Coda) but rarely anything else.
Mobile ad networks are particularly crazy. Source: I have reverse engineered >100 of them.

This tool would be great for building an A/B testing framework around for various UI color/text/layout testing. You can isolate the testing from the regular code, and provide a set of overrides for a particular test that depend on whatever you segment your users by.
I find sorting garbage to be better and cleaner for me, personally, actually. You don't have one large festering heap in your home, you have three heaps and only one of them actually smells. The rest are used up plastic containers, bottles, paper, etc. - materials that don't decompose on their own. You get to throw all the biological waste in one place, which can be smaller than the rest and you can clean it up every other day. You can of course throw all your trash away every other day, but it's easier when you only have to throw away only a small portion of it.

I currently live in a city that doesn't collect trash separately and I still separate my trash - it's just nicer and cleaner.

The marketing budget needed to convince people to transition to the new model will pay itself off shortly. Consider also that you'll get unpaid "split-trash evangelists" in most neighbourhoods doing your work for you.
That exact use case is not currently possible, but it's something we've talked a bit about. We're still considering doing something like it in the future.
That was imprecision because I was trying to avoid the quick discussion of Japanese orthography. Like most systems in Japan dealing with names, there are separate fields for 漢字名　and カナ名. (Some systems also have ローマ字名.)

Japanese systems have wide, wide variability in what they do for 漢字名 for people who, ahem, don't have one. Some repeat the カナ名. Some do so but use half-width kana (半角 vs. 全角). Some managers who believe that there is such a thing as an "official name" think that one's official name should go in 漢字名, regardless of whether it is 漢字 or not.

A related problem: what happens when you have two systems which have different behaviors on this? For example, let's say you're a Japanese bank, and your branch employees were instructed in 2012 to update any 漢字名 of foreigners to be the name written on their foreigner registration card, in double-width characters. Let's further suppose that your web tier does Javascript validations when you try to sign up for online banking, and because any engineer can see that ＤＯＵＢＬＥＷＩＤＴＨ latin characters are not 漢字, this means that it is literally impossible for the web tier to match the DB for affected customers.

Hilarity ensues.
Yeah, the important part is to randomize the output itself, in addition to padding. Even without the padding it makes for a significant challenge to determine just where your known plaintext is to compare from. But with enough attempts, if deflate eventually succeeds in shortening a message on a successful match, you could eventually find the matching message. Like you say, probably too long to be effective (depending on the number of random permutations and the size of the secret)
I think one of the reasons that Blink forked from WebKit is that Google has a vested interest in making the web cutting-edge; whereas Apple's interest is in making the web "good enough" and reserving premium experiences for their native apps.

Interesting considering that the whole reason Apple survived the 90s was the advent of the web counteracting the move to Windows-only software.
Meh, we had to learn Pascal here in the UK (2005). In my opinion, learning C++ early on is better than jumping on a bandwagon language like PHP, and expect to learn JavaScript with relative ease.

I agree with Kohanz & API ... outsourcing companies throw peanuts at developers and expect quality code.
HootSuite Raises $165 Million to Fuel Growth and Innovation
I wonder if they even cost much, after all a furnace is not some terribly new technology. In Copenhagen they seem to have excess money to turn it into a giant smoking ski slope: http://www.archdaily.com/339893/bigs-waste-to-energy-plant-b...
Congratulation guys! Looking forward to see how this all feeds back into the product.
> "Why is that?"

Mentioning the connection to foreign business casually, once, while spending the bulk of the 'story' hyping some implication that the government is profiling people based on web searches alone shows a tabloid-leaning lack of respect for the reader.

The writer's burying what should be a relevant example of "why even innocent people shouldn't like this NSA spying/profiling" (which we know to exist and know has policies that could likely result in their visit from the JTTF) under a largely-implausible theory (that has no substantiating evidence from any whistleblower or leak to date, nor does it present any) that ultimately serves no purpose but self-promotion.

(It looks like an attempt to make her experience the center of it's own story, as opposed to a contributing piece of the larger Snowden/NSA story.)

Well, I think we understand what you mean, but R&D costs are sunk costs. They have no relevence when setting prices.

If you have a patent on, for example, the chainsaw, and are the sole manufacture of chainsaws, you can set the price of a chainsaw based solely on how much your tree-cutting-down gizmo is worth to the consumer.
For Slartibartfast I decided to give this project its own Workspace, with its own $GOPATH, and put the entire Workspace into git.
This is not the recommended practice.

That's enough nitpicking. The take away that I get from reading this article is that "How to Write Go Code" (http://golang.org/doc/code.html) needs improvement. The document was overhauled earlier this year to make it easier to understand. Apparently, it's not easy enough.

When I started with Go, I was doing something similar: each project got it's own directory and I had to update the $GOPATH environment variable for each. It was probably a month or so before I had the "Ah-hah" moment that I didn't need to do that. Looking over the (nicely revised) "How to Write Go Code", this clarification is still missing from the The GOPATH environment variable section.

The Go Tool page (http://golang.org/cmd/go/) is required reading if you're going to get anywhere with Go.

It would also be really nice to have a resource that demonstrated some Go design patterns (at least a factory...).
I was unable to find the reference where Ms Catalano claimed to be visited directly by FBI agents as you are suggesting in your posts, and not as she said (https://medium.com/something-like-falling/2e7d13e54724) the Joint Terrorism Task force, which includes local law enforcement members who are part of it and who work together with the FBI and other agencies. JTTF is generally overseen and investigation coordinated by the FBI, and the FBI also pays the participating agencies expenses for costs incurred during their JTTF work.
(http://www.fbi.gov/page2/dec04/jttf120114.htm, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Terrorism_Task_Force)

Searching the article which is linked to and which you are commenting about reveals that it does not even include the term "FBI". However that is hardly relevant given then connection to the FBI that the JTTF has, members are generally acting on behalf of FBI investigations when they do JTTF work. If someone were to call them de facto FBI agents it would not be inaccurate given they act with the authority of the FBI and are paid by the FBI for their work on the JTTF.

Please state clearly whether you are asserting that Ms Catalano's article here contains lies in your opinion, and clarify exactly what she said that you believe she is lying about or misrepresenting. Please provide a reference quote to the part of the referenced article that you are commenting on where she makes a claim to be visited by FBI agents specifically and not the JTTF.

I was never rude with him at all. Text doesn't convey tone / etc. It was actually a very cordial conversation, and he seemed genuinely interested in why somebody would adhere to such a strict stance. I could tell that he probably doesn't agree with my political stances, but that's OK.

As for #2... fuck that. I'm not required to be "polite", and I'm not required to make their job easy. I'll be polite if it suits me and if they're polite to me. Otherwise, I see no reason to treat a cop like he/she is somebody special. A cop is just another douchebag with a gun and badge, IMO. Being unduly deferential / subservient to them only promotes the kind of abuses that we are constantly railing against.

All you need is a cop that's at the end of a long bad day, and eventual vindication (with a possible settlement) probably won't make up for the several months of grief.

That's a chance I'm perfectly willing to live with. That said, I'm 40 now, and I've been this way since I was probably 14 or so, when I got my mom pulled over because I flipped off a state trooper as we were passing by... Hell, I even flat out told one cop that he was just a glorified bean-counter, enforcing bureaucratic nonsense, and that if he really wanted to contribute to society that he should quit his job and go become a firefighter. They get huffy and annoyed, but nothing significant has ever happened.

Doesn't mean a pissed off cop won't shoot me to death tomorrow, but whatever.

Everything else in this not completely believable dialog is asking for trouble.

Why do you say it's not completely believable? Unfortunately I don't have a recording or anything, but I promise you, that's exactly how it went down, modulo small mistakes due to my imperfect memory.

I work at a consulting shop and manage the web app development team. This is a question we struggle with as well. We've called it "custom business applications", "web applications", or simply "business applications".

Sometimes, it helps to focus less on the technology and more on the process of how you'd help your clients and the value you provide. Don't bother mentioning that you do "web" apps (as opposed to mobile or desktop). Describe the process and how you do what you do. That gets the conversation going, after which you can start discussing technology.
Ask HN: Why are some comments not replyable immediately?
I've noticed that new comments often don't have the reply link next to them, though it will eventually appear after a set amount of time. What's the reasoning behind this feature? Is it supposed to prevent rapid back-and-forth escalations?

Who cares if they showed up as a swat team or as one 'friendly' sheriff. Thats not the point. The point is that we are being surveilled in the most creepy way.

Jonas Salk, the developer of the Polio vaccine who chose not to patent his discovery, is a prime example as well: "When he was asked in a televised interview who owned the patent to the vaccine, Salk replied: "There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?"

My dad's condo [edit: condo complex] in Sweden has 10+ different trash cans. You divide your trash into individuals cans for batteries, bulbs, cardboard, paper, compostables, and so forth.

I don't know but I assume that part of the reason that Swedes are able to deal effectively with the trash is that they sort it properly at the source, so that they more easily can process it.

When I read stuff like this it honestly makes me homesick. I've lived half my life on the left side of the political spectrum (Sweden/France) and the other half on the right side here in the US. I love it in SF, but this supposedly "progressive" city has - especially considering how many smart people that live here - an appallingly poor understanding of how to architect a civilized society.

There is no reason this city shouldn't be clean, essentially free of homeless (and sometimes insane) people, have great public roads, excellent public transportation, low crime, worry about more interesting things than what size diamond ring Kanye bought for his lady, and so forth.

There is a good data driven TED talk on how points like the above correlate with wealth and equality:

If you find all advertising offensive then I think that's an issue with you, not with advertising. If you want to look at or use something that doesn't belong to you (whether that's getting on a bus, or visiting a website, or watching a TV channel) then the owners should be allowed to show you advertising if they wish. If you prefer not to see it, you can make that choice and avoid it.

Is it more desirable if it doesn't exist? Perhaps - if you really hate it all then fine, that's your opinion, but do you really hate it enough that you would prefer every website that is financed by advertising to either bill you for usage or shut down, every public transport subsidised by advertising gets more expensive, every TV channel price goes up, cinema tickets, everything...

And as to my interest being antagonistic to yours, I disagree. I (personally) want you to buy a laptop or a PC and I want you to, when you next need one of these items, consider my brand. I target audiences very tightly to try and ensure that people who see my adverts are likely to be interested, and do rather a good job of it if I say so myself. If you end up being interested in what I am advertising (as plenty of people who view them do) then great for me, great for you. If you don't, then you can ignore my adverts, I don't buy any that are overly annoying or evasive, so even without adblock installed they won't cause you any problems, you can just ignore them.

End of the day, my goal isn't to trick you into buying something you don't want, it's to make sure the people who do want to buy these things know about them, and to avoid other people as much as possible. Feel free to hate bad adverts - I do. Even feel free to hate all adverts, including mine, if you wish, though I disagree with you on this. But don't go so far as to call them offensive. They just aren't.

Sweden is pretty spacious anyway. I could imagine that tightly packed countries in Western Europe could want to alleviate some of that garbage by sending it to be burned in some remote place in Northern Sweden, for example.
I don't think most people care honestly, and a few protests is not anywhere near enough to convince them. Even if you succeed, all it takes is another war/red scare/terrorist attack/whatever, to get people support whatever it takes to protect them from "the enemy".
