>If it's 2-5 years, please proceed with jail.

i'm sure it isn't a Norwegian style jail. Sexual blogger insulting Islam in the largest muslim country - my bet would be that he isn't looking into quality time in jail.

On the other side - political asylum seems like exactly the thing applicable in such case, at least US one.
In the United States, most public education is administered at the town level. Because towns are so small compared to counties/states/nations, the variance among towns in parameters is very high -- two towns only 15 minutes apart can easily vary twentyfold along parameters like average income and percentage of adults with graduate degrees.

Thus, what passes for a "standard high school education" in the United States varies wildly -- in some schools, you can graduate without even being able to read and comprehend a magazine article. In others, the top graduates often find Harvard less intellectually rigorous than their high school (because Harvard has to help their students from worse high schools catch up).
For some of you scratching your head about why this board is the way it is, check out this Google+ thread from Darren Hart:

https://plus.google.com/101378268367730737515/posts/DGQ9Nkr5...

In the fourth comment he explains some of his design choices:

One of those factors I mentioned above was making sure the
board was "replicable". This adds a number of constraints,
such as:

* The price cannot include any subsidies (otherwise people
could not recreate the board at close to the same cost)
* The parts must have a long product life cycle (this
eliminates some of the other chips that we might have
considered) and be readily available (otherwise there would be
shortages in supply and people wouldn't be able to source the
parts to make their own)
* Maker and hacker friendly meant including access to a number
of buses and other interfaces, which also limited our part
selection as well as impacting cost.

There is a fairly lengthy story here, which I'm happy to share
with anyone interested. All in all, I think we managed to come
up with a very capable board that will allow people to tweak
it and hack it and expand it while providing strong
performance (especially in terms of I/O) and a decent price
point. More on that as information becomes available...﻿

Edit:

To the best of my knowledge Intel has never focused on releasing designs that an individual can build/modify on their own. To me this represents a very exciting change in Intel's attitude toward "the little guy." Further, to anyone looking to build their own hardware similar to the Raspbery Pi, good luck trying to get Broadcom to talk to you, let alone give you a BSP or sell you chips. Their NDA process/requirements is/are obscene...

Hardcore D3 has (or at least had) much better economics, due to:

* no RMAH (and as such, all the good items are on sell for gold)

* and huge moneysink in the form of dying characters (as such, less gold inflation)

Also, when you play HC, leveling up your new character is so much less painful with AH. Besides, I'd just by something @ d2jsp.
"The benchmarks just do not support."

I don't make money writing benchmarks. I would challenge that given a flexible enough language, they're nearly meaningless.

Another very important point is most of my Perl is glue between enormous systems. Spending any time optimizing it would be a waste of time/money. I'm not writing real time video encoding here.
One way to look at it, is an idea is "worth" whatever you can sell it for.

Ask HN: How important are titles for freelancers / self-employed
I'm nearly finished with my bachelor of computer science and am unsure whether to go for the masters degree afterwards or not. I've been working with a fellow student for severals months now with reasonable success and if I would stop studying after the bachelors degree I could concentrate on work full-time.

However, I would like to know before whether or not these degree titles play an important role in the life of a self-employed or as a freelancer.

Are my future potential customers going to factor in my title in their decision making whether or not to do business with me?

Please let me know your oppinion on this subject.
Probably? Oh it passed that years ago. WoW is 100% cash cow at this point.
You said "...because it's not a public website, but a private web app."

So, you do not have to license it per core. You can buy the $898 standard version and a few CALs - one for your web app and the rest for db admins.

Furthermore - even if there is some wording that says "if 100 people are hitting your private web app, you have to buy 100 CALS" - just ignore it like everybody else does.
Congrats Daniel! You guys are working on an important problem.

Aah - that makes sense - NUC doesn't have GPIOs and isn't designed for interfacing with custom hardware.
If the board doesn't meet your requirements, then don't use it. The MinnowBoard is part of an ecosystem of boards that offer different feature sets at different prices. One differentiator the MinnowBoard has is that its SATA and Gigabit ethernet are powered by PCIexpress, so you're definitely going to see performance reflect that. Likewise, we offer PCIe lanes through our expansion connector, so the MinnowBoard could be interfaced with high-speed hardware (think FPGAs) for all sorts of interesting applications.

I find the comparisons of MinnowBoard with ultra low-cost embedded boards like RasberryPi to be pretty silly. The MinnowBoard is not Intel's version of a RasberyPi. The media may play this up just to generate conflict and to set up a straw man comparison, but I hope people are capable of seeing through that.

Not in my experience; those were all real cases I mentioned, with real people using combinations of Excel, Access, and SMB shares to "simulate" having actual software talking to an actual database. Usually, in fact, right beside the actual software that talks to an actual database--because someone figured they'd throw something together to hold "an item or two of ancillary data" instead of getting that software modified to include that data--and then their ancillary data-store grew and grew...
Is there some sort of check police departments could do to detect spoofed numbers on SWAT team requests?
This silly defeatism is killing you guys.

Just use bloody SIP or any other cryptographically-sound protocol; maintain trust with people and their personal endpoints, rather than companies which are obviously under enormous state pressure(the threat of violence and imprisonment, and the rape included with that, for life) to give up the goodies.

We have other issues, including the pervasive use of proprietary software trading convenience over the pragmatic requirement of not having industrial or governmental espionage committed against you.

Intel is under grave pressure to inject these bugs into their CPUs, and even a well-audited system such as OpenBSD is not modular enough to prevent remote exploitation through network stacks(see the last two remote vulnerabilities), but laziness leaves them on monolithic kernels.

Even if the systems worked correctly, proprietary firmware in PCIe devices like network cards and graphics cards allows them to directly access memory on the bus, generally with very little protection, and often enough with none at all.

You guys are buying all of this crap, supporting the people who subjugate and bend.

You paid them knowingly to do all of this crap(in addition to raping, killing, and enslaving hundreds of millions or billions in other countries), and you continue to today.

If you want this stuff to stop happening, you need to simply stop knowingly supporting these things, and playing dumb when you learn the specifics.

Why is the commentry on this topic always braindead?

The article states that there is a query interface using the email address as the key. But Where does it say that every single email/webpage from every single person is being collected? Such a task would be technically impossible. It seems far more likely that it's querying a database of pretargeted people.

There is so much hysterical nonsense regarding this topic. The cancer of conspiracy theory spreads.

This looks really, really useful to boaters. I'm not a boater at all, but I am a hobbyist pilot that flies maybe once a month on small trips. I frequently use Foreflight (http://www.foreflight.com/) for navigation, planning, information, etc (while also calling the FSS Briefer to be safe!) for flights. To download the app is free but the service costs $99 per year.

Your pricing model is very forgiving. If you've got the features to support offline caching and downloading of charts ahead of time, $.99 download and $11.99/yr is a no-brainer. It's nice too that you guys didn't go crazy on design and looks like you focused on functionality and features, which is the most important for a tool like this.

Is this something your company does regularly or was it a "hey we have a few boaters let's knock out an app" sort of project?
I have to agree with you, I've played every single Blizzard game ever made, and SC2 is just plain beautiful. The campaign cinematics were amazing...
The problem is, DNT isn't just a Firefox thing, but something that the industry is attempting to adopt. So, DNT as a whole means something specific. It's a shame that there is that disconnect, but it's not a Mozilla specific problem.

Safari says even less about DNT (Ask websites not to track me) and the help isn't much better, though they have a separate section for blocking 3rd party cookies. But that's different from DNT.

This is a case where DNT as an industry standard means one thing to the industry, and one thing to the uneducated public. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

I'd personally prefer to have a clear name as free from risk as possible (or at least known risks) from the start, rather than have to start at square one if I have to change my name in the future after I've built up goodwill (and also incur costs in the process).

However I appreciate your reasoning and all the best.
The reason I consider it irrelevant is that generally, the United States is so vastly different from any other country. I don't know of any other country in which I could be a citizen, oppose national health care, and consider myself right for doing so. In this unique land we hold though, that is exactly how I feel.

Aside from that, it should be second nature for us as Americans to forego being offended at insults levied out of others' national pride, and instead move straight away into doing exactly what you've suggested.

The reason I consider us pussies isn't because we let the government fondle our privates, but because depending on the poll, more than half the population considers that to be just fine. While each of us as individuals might not be pussies, collectively, we tend to be.

And yes, obviously, I do sincerely hope that we are making progress, and I don't disagree that we are at least getting more people to give a damn. And yes, that is a good thing. But that we've had such draconian policies in place for so long, and been so content to let it be that way? There's the problem, exactly.
In 10 years you could say exactly the same thing, except that:

- Perl 6 will STILL be in development

- You just lost 10 years of development experience and related marketability because now all those fad-du-jour systems are established industry leaders

- Nothing would have have changed back in Perl 5 land because everyone can only develop in 5.8.x or 5.10.x in case they break something.

The upside of course is that there will still be COBOL and perl programmers making a living ...

What do you mean? The cost of legal uncertainty is one of the reasons software patents are a worse kind of monopoly than patents on chemical compounds. Even if it's a terrible chemical patent, you can tell whether it affects you or not, not so much with software patents.

So I can easily see how similar uncertainty and the associated costs could cause certain public domain works to remain unexploited.

>Java and C++ tend to have exploding codebase size because of the proliferation of types, which cause the M * N explosion.

I think haskell and friends demonstrate that your explanation for java and C++ "exploding" is incorrect. Haskell is all about types, lots of types, and making your own types is so basic and simple that it happens all the time everywhere. Yet, there is no code explosion.
For better or worse, I'm intimately familiar with the strange working of bureaucracies. Obama's presidency is a textbook example of a politician being consumed by intertia.

That said, politically originated policy turned the FISA Court into a Star Chamber making Supreme Court type decisions, and broadened the scope of NSA's role from spying on the Russians to spying on humanity.

Politicians can curtail those activities as well, either by making explicit policy changes, or by defunding things strategically. It requires courage.
That said, we need to do the technical solutions as well. Don't use the difficulty as an excuse to give up on one partial solution, when the other solution is partial as well.
Or, the NSA could force Google to provide them with private keys to their certs for "national security" and then they can mitm all they want.
Show HN: Performance Monitoring with Analytics
How so?

Shell scripts are for things that have almost no logic besides running other programs.

Perl is for things that do have internal logic, and aren't big enough for the lack of formal function parameters to be an issue.

Java is for things that talk to the database (or need other libraries, such as for reading/writing Excel files), or are too large to keep in my head all at once (most of which talk to the database anyway).

C is for the one program I have that needs the suid flag set, and the one wrapper that resets the process group ID. I don't like C.

The server that all these need to run on, is an AIX box that doesn't have Python or OCaml or Ruby installed. If it did, I suppose it's possible I'd use one of these for some of the cases where I use Perl or Java now. Or probably not, since less people know them (except maybe Python?).

PL/SQL is for things that run inside the database, because it's what the database (Oracle) comes with.

C#/.NET is for things that run on my and my coworkers' laptops, because Visual Studio provides a wrapper/installer that makes it dead simple to publish updates.
A few thoughts:

Trends come and go, but it's the general purpose languages that remain.

Perl seems to fit in that space that was occupied by the various BASICs in the 1980s, meaning that it was the best glue for everyday tasks. It's quick to write, has the right tools, and plays well with system tools.

In general, in my experience, it's the quality of staff and not the tools that makes the difference. Good management, coders and business-side analysts make a much bigger difference than what language you use.

In general, in my experience, few experienced Perl programmers use vanilla Perl. Almost all of them rely heavily on libraries and write code according to their own knowledge of what's most efficient.

Be wary of the world of trends in programming. It is as fickle as trends in education, interior design or nutrition. Then again, I'm still waiting for the Pascal comeback.

Yeah.

Let's call Alice's risk deposit Ad and Bob's risk Deposit Bd. Let's call Alice's good Ag and Bob's good Bg. Alice's Detonator is Da and Bob's Detonator is Db.

In the box are Ad and 2Bd. Alice has in her physical possession Bg with a value of 1d. Bob has Ag with a value of 1d. Bob destroys Db. Alice now has Da and Bg giving her control over Ad and 2Bd. She can say to Bob: "Hey Bob, y'know, I feel like I'd like more for this, why don't you give me another 1d or I'll destroy your 2Bd and my Ad."

I'm just saying that in the scenario presented, it seems like you have to ensure that Alice destroys her detonator first for the scenario to work correctly. Once Bob holds the only detonator, it's harder for him to justify ransoming Alice's single Ad since more of his value is at stake.

I think my ideal interpretation of how IP ownership should work would be that if you -- the creator -- own the IP, you deserve a share of value derived from it. But if you no longer own it (so, if you sell the painting, so to speak), then you aren't.

The notion of whether or not someone should get a cut of anything is incredibly subjective, and is more related to the mores and standards of the time rather than any objective (or even subjective) notions of fairness/justice.

I agree. I probably should have phrased my question better than using a vague word like should, since I meant it in more of a economic sense of incentivizing valuable work than a moral sense.
Nothing would have have changed back in Perl 5 land because everyone can only develop in 5.8.x or 5.10.x in case they break something.
