Well, the point he makes is that the same is true for the other statistics. It'd probably be cheaper environmentally for a garbage truck to pick up all your garbage for instance, rather than each person traveling to the recycling center themselves.

Random padding increases the number of requests necessary by a couple orders of magnitude. It would be easy enough to filter out the noise if you tried each guess enough times.

It would certainly increase the number of requests necessary to a quantity that (for the vast majority of cases) would be well above any sane usage, and couple easily be rate limited.

Credit where it's due, StavrosK and I were discussing this earlier, and averaging out the noise was his idea.

Yeah, the more I think about this, the worse it is. It's certainly not as general as the original CRIME TLS exploit, but that almost makes it more insidious.

The big problem is that there's no blanket solution to this like there was with the TLS break. Then you could just turn off TLS compression, which wasn't a huge deal. Now, turning off HTTP compression is a much bigger problem. You're going to take a huge performance hit. The alternative is auditing every route in your application to ensure that it won't leak attacker info into a response - a very daunting proposition.

There are 1.7 million Korean Americans and 3.8 million Chinese Americans and the US has major military bases throughout South Korea and business interests throughout China and South Korea and there are tons of students from South Korea and China in the US. Do you think that the US gets most of its manufacturing done in the far east without loads of people having to go there on business?

Or perhaps you meant other than those people.

I do think that you are precisely right on one thing though. You do have a modicum of intelligence.
>Why can't my editor tokenize my code and then show it in the format I want?

Because editors are written by humans. And as of now, we haven't sold a whole lot of problems with their use.

For example, you get an IDE with lots of features, but a subpar editor, crammy UI and GC pauses (3 of the five most popular are written in Java).

Or you get something like VIM, with a great editor, but subpar compatibility with the rest of your system, not very good understanding of the code (refactoring, tokenizing etc). '80s GUI capabilities etc, ad-hoc collection of plugins to fix basic pain points (like file navigation).

Or you get Emacs, with millions of configurable options, a subpar extension language, script in various stages of great and rot, '80s GUI capabilities, etc.

In general, we lack tools that run the whole gamut: great editor, fluent shortcuts (either Emacs or Vim style), 2013 GUI capabilities, refactoring and intimate knowledge of program syntax (to the level of understanding the AST, no BS regex used for syntax highlighting), embedded REPLs and terminals, etc.

Something like a Lisp Machine + Smalltalk UI + Light Table + Visual Studio + Vim/Emacs combo.

Seat belts work. I once spent several minutes held upside down by one, after the car I was riding in rolled onto it's roof. Everything loose in the car ended up on the headliner -- change, jackets, crusty old french fry bits...

BTW: You are almost certainly not strong enough to support yourself by one hand while you unbuckle. But falling down to the roof after the wreck is far better than being thrown from the car during the wreck.
This introduction for Moto X is really, really trying way too hard to be cool in both the copy and design. It comes off almost as badly as the Samsung ad mocking the uncool parents and nerds in line for iPhones.

Particularly cringeworthy:

* "Your socks, your watch, your bike say so much about you"
* "Play Goldilocks and choose the right size for you: 16 or 32 MB" Was Goldilocks really the best pick here--isn't this the male pitch, badger hair shaving brush, tortoise shell glasses and all? Didn't Goldilocks have three choices?
* "you'll never miss those OMG-that-was-sick-did-you-see-that moments" Sick copy brah.
* "Moto X responds to your voice, no touching necessary. (That's what she said.)" This doesn't even make sense as a joke.

Right. Sovereign states exist in a state of anarchy. They can do whatever they want, and the only ultimate way for one state to stop another is through force.

Of course, this is the traditional Westphalian model that is beginning to cede to voluntary associations of sovereign states that solve their disputes in freely associated bodies, e.g the WTO, the United Nations, the International Criminal Court.

These bodies really ultimately have no binding authority except that granted to them by the states of which they are composed, but reciprocity and social norms are starting to give us a ladder out of pure anarchy. That's really been the project of international relations of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
> It makes me wonder how many people there are like me who would be willing to pay $100/year for a bespoke C compiler that was supported by a single source and stable.

Did you look at ICC / XLC / MSVC? They typically outperform GCC by about 20%, although I haven't checked in a while.
Don't shoot your friends - Twitter game with real consequences
Cop watch is another idea that I have suggested elsewhere (and been extensively involved in). Nearly everyone has little video cameras in their pockets these days. Surveillance of the police should become so ubiquitous as to be normal and expected - both so it protects the people doing the "watching" and because it will change the feeling of not being accountable to the public on the streets.

For the record, I'm one of those annoying activists and in many (hundreds?) of police encounters I have never been arrested while filming and arrested twice while asserting my rights to not be detained for no reason.

I think it's almost a moral duty, if you're someone who doesn't get targeted by the police anyway, and have little to lose (except comfort) from a night or two in jail, that you take a hardline stand against police overreach, but I would never begrudge anyone who doesn't chose to do so for whatever reason: personal comfort level, kids at home, immigration status, prior record, etc.
That bridge has already been crossed - that exact argument helped establish software patents in the first place. (See http://www.mttlr.org/voleleven/campbell-kelly.pdf for the history.)

Ask HN: with little to no Internet for a year, how can I stay on top of my game?
I have been writing software both academically and for fun for over 5 years now. In a few weeks I will move to Argentina and live there for a year. I will be living with little to no internet access for this year. At most, I will be able to visit an internet cafe for a couple hours each week.

While the internet can be a huge distraction at times, it is also a major resource for software development. How can I stay on top of my game this coming year with such limited access? All suggestions and insights are welcome.

Note: I am not looking for some solution to gain access to internet, but rather ways to stay sharp and up-to-date without it.

Or, no patents at all on anything, and let's collect some of the money that saves enterprise and fund those few industries that need patents to be profitable.

But, who are we kidding anyway. Software patents cannot e gotten rid off because of the entrenched patent holders. If you let them keep those patents they have an unfair market advantage over new entrants, and if you retroactively cancel all software patents (if you can define such a category) then they'll sue the government's pants off and through the court system have software patents declared legal. The onything i could imagine is gradually shortening the lifetime of software patents to decrease their harm and attractiveness.

I'm not trying to comfort you or defend the local cops who showed up. Arguably showing up over a FB post is even dumber than if they actually had snarfed Internet searches.

> I feel that there is more to consider.

What more?

> I take NSFW to mean "would you read this at work".

Unless you are Brewster Kahle, almost everything on the internet has nothing to do with your work. That goes for nearly all Guardian content.

>Someone to my boss, "I saw X looking at Y on his computer, I was offended"

Well, if your boss searched your internet history, would anything be found to substantiate such a claim?

> (in fact I didn't even open your link so that this or something similar doesn't occur)

I deliberately posted the link to the article (daily mail) so that you wouldn't be afraid I was trying to goatse you or something. The images in the article are no worse than those that can be seen at a grocer's checkout. I am really sorry that you have so little job security that you fear reprisal over a simple image such as that. Incidentally, I've seen full frontal nudity plastered on bus stops in Germany and I don't think anyone batted an eye.

>Why even risk this sort of situation?

Because pandering to this risk-averse approach to never offending anyone ever, even the most socially-repressive of us, even by chance or misunderstanding only encourages more of it?

>I think this is at the very heart of the phrase "NSFW". I'm on a news website, I don't want this to negatively affect me in any way, it's a "safe for work" site.

Well, I have to inform you that not everyone shares your career and that an article on breastfeeding, or even one on marketing with racy photos, or any number of other subjects might very well be pertinent and safe for many peoples' work. You may have to adopt a more forgiving sense of propriety or confine yourself to some much smaller portion of the internet.

Do you suggest that everyone should be forced to obey the most repressive moral standards of all the sub-groups in our culture?
Motorola X8 Mobile Computing System

Wow, please no. Google, just relieve them from their pain already.
It does seem to be awfully common in Indian schools to teach C++ from before 1998 (i.e. before formalising of the first standard), considered simply wrong today, using tools made 25 years ago (Turbo C++ for DOS is popular). Those taught this end up hitting the workplace knowing incorrect C++ and knowing how to use a 25 year old tool for DOS. I've no doubt they can learn modern C++ and modern tools, but it certainly creates a bad image.
Granted, I know how to throw an exception, but the large majority of my undergrad career was about solving problems that were evaluated on 'well-formed' data. It was rare for the code to need to be able to handle exceptions. Perhaps this is the culprit.
I'm pretty sure it actually is shipping with 4.2.2. Only nexus devices get the latest and greatest OS so soon to its release

I think it would be interesting to have an auto-copyright that we have now, but limited to 20 years.. after which you have to pay $10000 to re-register for the next five years, and every 5 years the price to register doubles. No limit on how many times you can re-register... period. All re-registration of works before 1960 would be $160000 as a first 5-year (re)registration... works from 1960-1990 will be $40000, and after 1990 will be $10000 due in 5 years from signing.

These articles about "running out of garbage" make it sound like a great thing, but it seems to me that it's a big disadvantage of any kind of waste-to-energy scheme. I mean, the concept is that you spend a ton of money making these power generation facilities that do waste-to-energy, and then that cost is partially defrayed by selling the energy.

But if you don't actually have enough garbage to run the facility, then it is that much less cost-efficient. It implies that something has gone badly wrong. Why did you build so many facilities?

About us: We're a bootstrapped profitable company over our first 5 years of about 50 people, took $10M of investment at the start of the year and are looking to build out our team for significant growth. We're a web conferencing company whose building automation tools for our infrastructure and going to do some data science over web conferencing data.

-- Senior Frontend Engineer --

We are building out a backbone.js stack to front a bunch of self-service tools and future visualizations in data science. We have a team of mostly full stack developers and are looking for a second frontend developer to help push our team forward and knowledge share deep javascript knowledge and HTML/CSS. We have a terrific designer on contract who has been doing excellent work for us.

Our website hasn't been taken over by engineering yet so don't judge too much on that :)

-- DevOps Engineer --

Looking for two or more automation engineers who can help with a few tasks. Deploying our frontend (static html/css/js plus some java security stuff) and our backend (java soa) from a release management perspective (linux tomcat). Writing automation code for our managed services web conferencing products (a lot of this involves writing some automation on a windows platform).

We're solving some complex automation issues, especially with relation to windows, that people aren't solving yet. Take existing open source products as far as we can and add to the community with new tools when possible.

Reach out to me directly at matt@connectsolutions.com if interested.
I don't think that's the message here at all. The only way to prove code correct is by reference to some kind of specification. If that spec is a standard full of implementation-defined behavior (and worse, contradicted in practice by all the other vendors) a correctness proof is not really going to convey what it sounds like it would.

What Miod is really asking for is an open source compiler that puts stability and portability over compiler optimization. If it weren't for optimizations and the endless fiddling that goes with them, gcc would have remained stable. It is already the only option that meets their portability requirements.
If you read the Lord of the Rings appendices, you will find that Shirefolk do something similar: they divide the year into 12 months of 30 days each, with a four-day midsummer holiday called Lithe.

I don't doubt that some law enforcement officers from some agency showed up at her doorstep for some reason. And I can accept that there were - at some point - questions about bombs for some reason or another.

The policy is not the issue. It's relevant to the story and she buried it to make her story fit a narrative.
That is exactly what I came here to say. Plenty of people, like me, don't trust the police. In America, probably other countries too, a problem is only recognized as a problem when it affects the wealthy or privileged.
Yes that does make it better. If the FBI are calling around to people, purely based on google searches that's terrible. If they are calling around to people based on a whole pile of other things that might be suspicious that's much better.
The safety of modern cars is amazing. I was also in a rollover accident, and only had two main complaints immediately following it: my head hurt slightly from falling on it when I unbuckled my seat belt while hanging upside down, and my knee was sore from banging against the dash when the car rolled. This was in a "cheap", "plastic" 2006 Hyundai Accent. However, I don't recommend trying this to find out -- although the driver and I crawled out of the car and were standing there when the police and ambulance arrived, they were shocked that we were basically unharmed (as were the nurses and doctors at the hospital we were taken to for examination).
