In all seriousness, do we get the edited version where it looks like they just did it for funzies or the unedited version where it looks like a horrible mistake on the part of the gunner of the Apache?

The second version is actually worse. It shows that despite all the safeguards in place specifically to try and prevent these kinds of things from happening, because it's war, they still happen.
The rather excellent Fabarnak in Toronto doesn't accept tips.

Their 'tip jar' next to the register has a big sign that says something like "Fabarnak staff are paid a good wage. Any money left will be donated to the 519 [community centre]", which Fabarnak is housed in and is generally affiliated with. I think their is a similar message on the bottom of the menus if you choose to pay by card at your table.

The food is excellent, and the service is always pleasant. The lack of tips doesn't seem to be upsetting their staff.

Manning Not Guilty of Aiding the Enemy but Convicted of Multiple Other Counts
How is it really ironic?

The Guardian is extremely sociliast in its reporting. That's just not popular. You're not going to make any profit with that political viewpoint. (Although you'll certainly be popular on Reddit, the BBC, and other left leaning communities).

To make money, you need to be center / center right to appeal to most people. That's why newspapers like "The Sun" and "Daily Mail" absolutely dwarf "The Gruaniad" in readership.

If anything, to me it smacks of hypocracy rather than irony. It would be like a campaign setup to promote vegetarianism, bankrolled by a side venture selling beef burgers.
This sums it up:

"Thus, the most obvious story told by these data is a frustrating one for the U.S. education system: [Per capita] spending is roughly where it should be, but performance is lagging badly. "
A sane nation would have recognized Aaron as an incredibly valuable asset to the entire society. The American criminal justice system saw him as a dangerous threat and offered only cruel and unusual punishment. The facts point to just one conclusion: we live under an irrational and pathological criminal justice system.
Perhaps you could choose to not attend a restaurant that provides poor waitservice? Or pay a premium for access to a limited resource?
Yup, this. Macaroni Grill had 17 steps of service that HAD to be hit at every table including checking back within a certain time to make sure everyone's pasta bolognese was to their liking. It's a management step to legislate to the lowest common denominator, both in waitstaff (ensures no one is in the back smoking while a patron has a raw steak) and customer (as in software, the user rarely understands they need more butter until 2 minutes after the food is delivered).
Actually, a lot fewer newspapers are sold in the UK than that, according to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_newspapers_in_the_Unite...

It says the Daily Mail has a circulation of about 1.8m daily, the Guardian has a circulation of about 200k daily. The Sun is the most widely bought newspaper, at 2.4m daily, but they're all declining across the board.

This sets an awesome legal precedent since it basically upholds journalism and the freedom of the press. However, it's a step in the same direction for whistleblower policies. I wish we could get some leadership that would recognize the value of having people who can expose injustices so they can be corrected.

I read a great article yesterday that talked about the difference between Wikileaks and the NY Times. Why should they be treated differently? They're both just publishing information for people to consume.
Aaron would be alive today if he'd only stopped before he decided to hang himself in his apartment. No one else bears any responsibility for his death.

We know with pretty high confidence that aaronsw owned this particular laptop and aaronsw was not in China or in any way connected to PLA. It's possible his box was rooted by PLA hackers, but since no one mentioned this any more, and boxes I've had on net-18 get ssh-probed to hell from China, it seems like a pretty logical assumption.
The Sun has consistently been the biggest daily in the UK for a long time, and I would suggest at least some of the parties have a majority buying that paper, historically the Mirror which comes in 3rd would be considered a more leftist paper (as was the guardian itself) and so would be much more likely to be a favorite amongst Labour voters.

The Mail hasn't had daily sales over 4 million this millennium. But since you apparently overestimate the guardians sales by 100% too I guess the point you're making still stands.

If all you're worried about is finding someone to point a finger at then your plan may well work.

If you want to prevent the next gifted hacker from hanging themselves, however, then it pays to search for the truth so that lessons can be learned from what actually happened, not merely from what scenario received the most benefit of the doubt.

Note I'm not saying the MIT Report constitutes the truth if Taren's assertions don't.
This is a pretty balanced verdict, in my opinion. It upholds the law without further perpetuating the reputation of the US government as a body that will cry "enemy combatant!" and "terrorism!" at every political opportunity.

Not that that still doesn't happen, of course.

Does this really solve the problem?

The execs at Lehman and Bear had skin in the game. Sure some of the senior-most folks got away with small fortunes, but everyone last money. Some people lost their life savings.

Conceptually this makes sense (similar to requiring all derivatives trades to have margin requirements to limit leverage) but does it really fix what went wrong?
The historical info contained in JSTOR should be free, just as Aaron envisioned. MIT long ago lost its shine as a conduit for information and has now become just another McBiz.

I'm sure Microsoft would have been more than eager to take up the slack, or perhaps Palm would have pivoted that way.

I cannot remember what the update cycle was like on Microsoft phones. Perhaps the OS version would have still been an issue. I do seem to remember some upgrade blocks on the 7 version.
I agree. The problem with that charge in particular, however, is that it would have had extremely far-reaching implications for all investigative journalism

> There's almost no excuse not to use Scala if you're deploying on the JVM

- Poor tool support (refactoring regularly broken on both IDEA and Eclipse).

- Terrible backward compatibility story (want to use CoolLibrary v1.0, which was compiled with Scala 2.9 and you're using Scala 2.10? You're out of luck, you need the library to be compiled with the same version of the compiler).

- Very slow compilations, and getting worse at each version.

- The language is big (as big as C++) to the point where you must agree with your team on which subset to use.

- It's so big that nobody can agree on which idioms actually to stick to: pure immutability? Functional style? OO only? Use scalaz or not?

Shall I go on?

I like Scala, I use it every day on personal projects but putting it in production at work would be a terrible decision right now.
Unfortunately, looks like he will serve multiple decades: guilty of five espionage charges, guilty of five theft charges.
JSTOR dropping their support for the prosecution didn't remove the evidence pertaining to their side of the story from the case. What Aaron did to JSTOR was as relevant for the prosecution after JSTOR asked them to stop as it was before, it's not as if the prosecution was then limited to only evidence obtained from the MIT side.
>> When you develop for Windows, worrying about which version of .NET Framework might be installed on the user's machine or whether or not a certain feature of the OS might be turned on

It's also not quite as big of a deal on Windows - you can simply include or launch the installer for the XYZ Library or ABC Framework version 3.9.
Hardware, by the numbers
I was part of the developer program. Got mine a few months ago without any issues.
Recruiter here, and unfortunately many companies still won't look at people without having specific language experience (and often a specific amount of language experience). I find this has traditionally been more true in the Java world, where I've had clients ask for x years of Java and > n years of a specific framework.

I spent most of my 15 years working almost exclusively with Java shops that were often this specific. In working with Ruby, Python and Scala/Clojure shops over the past couple years, I find they are much less concerned with which languages you know today. I'm not sure if this is a function of a programming culture in these shops, or if it has more to do with the huge amount of Java developers available and the perception of more limited number of available talent in some other languages (do Python shops hire non-Python programmers because they 'have to'?).
I actually dont like a lot of what is on that page. For example: he says to remove the User-Agent header. Without that https://www.dropbox.com/downloading wouldnt work (where they can give you the correct download and show you pictures of how to access/install it). Furthermore, the Date header is very successfully used for caching operations in many cases. Moreover, it suggests problems that I see (such as the cookie kludge) but not a good replacement/solution for it. The solution given isnt adequate because the solution cookies are trying to solve is maintaining stateless servers. However, they cannot trust the clients and so have to resort to nasty things like hmac'ing the cookies and more easy to mess up security details.
Ah, great point. Missed that. Updated and going to push update shortly. Thank you.

Uncommon in Common
Interesting. So you are saying it has to do with essentially restricting or retarding the flow of information that could be harmful to the University.

Then I would expect over time with the Internet that that would not be as effective as it was in years past before the Internet.

Do we have any data on how this has changed now that anyone can broadcast anything and get attention? I would expect that if the primary reason for existence of the police force was to control the information flow as I think you suggest (which it could do quite easily pre internet) that we should see much more of this negative information has come out because it has a path.

Has that been the case? (Serious question).

Show HN: Continuous Integration for .NET developers, like Travis CI for Windows
I've read that article, and I still believe that their income classifies them as near poverty. They have two "tricks" that give them that lifestyle:

(1) Prior to 'retiring' they were making upwards of $200k combined (IIRC), and this is probably what allowed them to purchase the house. So they weren't always near or at poverty.

(2) The house was renovated by hand, every single meal is cooked by hand, and in general they are so tight with money that the wife wrote an extremely anxious post once about the crazy expensive experience she had when her father took her and her son out to get ice cream one day. Having to be super anxious about very minor expenses is pushing you close to poverty in terms of income.

It's also worth noting that he only says the home is presently worth $400k, not that they gave $400k for it. They may have purchased it for half that or less and did significant personal renovation to raise its value.

That post both advocates for TLS-everywhere (which I support) and thinks it would be beneficial to drop HTTP Keep-Alive... Aren't you concerned about the latency hit? TCP has 1 RTT to setup, TLS has 1+ RTT to setup.

Also, TCP's congestion window grows over time; with your proposed model, you'd continuously open connections with tiny congestion windows, rather than a few connections with growing congestion windows.

I think all it'd take to change your mind is to load Facebook or Twitter with SPDY and Keep Alives turned off...

Yeah it's partly a byproduct of some schools being slow to change, which is partly from wanting tight centralized control (like at a business), partly from budget cuts, and partly from just being slow to learn new things and not wanting to have to do more work. Our university still uses Windows XP, just like at some businesses. Our students were still in elementary school when XP was released. And we still use Blackboard since before even XP was released. They don't support Apple or Google stuff at all, even when it's completely free (like Google Apps for Education).

Interesting though that the author wrote that at his restaurant that took tips, the average was 22%, so even if some people stiff waiters, it is more than made up for.
The Guardian is a broadsheet, not a tabloid. If you want compare it something on the right use the Times or the Telegraph.

The tabloid equivalent of a left newspaper (though the terms make much less sense since the tabloids aren't nearly as political) would be the Daily Mirror, and it more than holds its own in the circulation wars.

"reposition it so that my browser and finder are both visible, with the "drop area" visible as well"

You can grab a file then Cmd(or Alt probly)+tab back to your browser window and drop the file.

Don't get me wrong I don't like drag and drop interfaces for the most part. If you do have the folder open you are working on in the background, drag and dropping different files can be quicker than using a choose file dialog.
As a recruiter, I think I'd have an easier time filling a Scala position because the demand for Scala jobs (primarily among those with little professional experience) has outstripped supply in the past couple years. If I post a Scala or Clojure job, I will get applicants from across the country. My Java job postings don't get nearly that much attention on a national level, because they are more common. People generally don't have to move for a Java position, but many are willing to move for a Scala/Clojure job.

We're still using a PDP11 with software written in 1981-84 to run parts our cyclotron.
That's was probably the right verdict, keeping in mind that the judge deliberately made that charge more restrictive than is given in the UCMJ. So I'd be careful about drawing too much precedent from that, because for this particular case the judge asked the prosecution to prove that Manning not only aided the enemy in the UCMJ sense, but that he did so with 'evil intent'.

The prosecution didn't prove that (and indeed had a pretty embarrassing closing argument IMO). But the next soldier who leaks military intelligence may not get the benefit of extra elements added to their charge list by the judge.
But doesn't the Espionage charge achieve kind of the same thing? Was he really spying for anyone? He wasn't. So I still don't see this as a fair verdict.
I can't think of anyone who would consider vending machine tokens as an enticing way to keep employees.
