I still find the entire idea of tipping to be super silly. Those people are being paid to do their jobs,and you leave them tips if they do them well? Why? I understand that in the US waiters are paid less because they also get tips,but that entire system is wrong(in my personal opinion) - you are going to a restaurant, you should be paying exactly what it says in the menu, not more,not less.
I don't. I've seen the source (via shared source) and there is a big fucking hole where the CSPs should be.

And the rest of the code is pretty shitty in places.
Given that Docker currently requires AUFS, Ubuntu is the distro of choice, so it's a problem.
Just having gone through about 18 steps to install Python 2.7 on my server because we have code that only runs in 2.7, while most of the operating system only works with 2.6 and breaks with 2.7, and seeing all the backwards compatibility cluster fuck that is Python3k, I think anybody would be crazy to base an operating system like Android on Python.

You can't have backwards compatibility and your progressive "keep language simple and clean by dropping features" at the same time.

What we call intelligence seems to be heritable to an extent, and we do all share instincts and even Jungian archetypes. All suggest that we each arrive with a "mother matrix" of experience-patterned structure (not just repeating basic units). For another example, consider the genius an infant requires to acquire and decode an entire modern language.

I surmise that that's the "nature" part, and what emerges is the "nurture" part. But these are all just potshots in the dark. Passing our eventual understanding on to faster machines with better retention seems suicidal.
Yeah, this way they could launch "Xbox One Slim" by 2015. Talk about deja vu.
If this was going to be possible with Windows, it would have to be done by Redmond. And given that they'd be out of a Windows license by allowing containers w/in Windows (as opposed to VMs), I doubt that will happen.

Unless you're talking about running this as a Linux VM on a Windows host, in which case, sure - why not?
I would think using something like DHT to "publish" an alias/address and PGP key, to relay up to X MB/GB of data per day could work... decentralized... anyone can see the messages going across, but only the intended recipient could actually read said messages. There would be no login system to intercept.
These articles are repetitive, overly wordy, patronizing, pretend-smart and filled with straw men and other logical fallacies, and finally simply not that interesting.
Unfortunately, I don't think I do have any. If I get motivated and have time, I'll try to reïmplement it as a JS demo.

I'm fond of "I'm looking to move into X technologies, and your company looks like a good fit."

This had the added benefit of likely being true, and it complements the company without being sycophantic.
I've moved from Australia (Melbourne specifically) where the counter-counter culture is to smoke roll your own cigs. Since moving to the US I've stopped smoking because:

a) I couldn't find a brand of roll your own tobacco I liked
b) none of my friends here smoke

I really do miss the ritual of "creating and smoking" a cigarette. I can't really see any of the e-cig brands coming out with anything that mimics that ritual.
Very cool! A lot can be done with the web audio API.

We used it to sync audio across devices to create one huge stereo; all play same audio in unison.

Here's a demo vid of 50 people & their devices blasting a public domain song http://vimeo.com/71647538 in sync.

We're a bit weary of blasting the "good," music across devices in any demo due to the public perfomance copyright act.
As I stated before on a different article submitted today:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6178515

> I really wish the title of the article was more along the lines "Apple should prevent negative app reviews when using iOS beta".

> I felt a little mislead and thought that a developer had somehow figured out how to do the current title of the submission (news) vs. what it was really about (opinion, that I agree with, but not news).

Sad to see this happen twice today. Only happy about it in the sense that maybe it will get some traction if enough people complain. This title isn't as bad as the other one was (which eventually got changed, thankfully), but still - depending on how you read it you might misconstrue that this article teaches you how to stop this.

The worst part of it all is that I thought to myself "Title-bait like that couldn't possibly have happened again - maybe someone really did find out a solution!" and I fell for it. Fool me once, etc.

It would be better if it was prefixed with "Hey Apple, "

Most privacy advocates I've seen don't like child pornographers either, they just don't subscribe to the idea that people's privacy should be infringed (even if that means it's easier for child pornographers to communicate).

So I don't see why he would do 1). Perhaps 2), but then you would think the same would apply here, unless the NSL/court order is demanding a wiretap to be installed for the future.
I started off with Ubuntu but moved onto Mint. I love Mint 14 and I don't feel the need to use anything else. For some of my clients working in the Microsoft environment, I use windows in a VM with a shared folder. Works great.
This will never go away, what we need is strong email encryption to become the norm. Then the US would need to go see the individual users if they wanted to spy.

The USPS reportedly has some very expensive machines that can read letters without opening them now. I believe it was Russell Tice that said that, though I can't find the specific source at the moment.

But it's technical feasible and a desirable tool to get around being unable to legally open letters.
Concurring with javert, an analysis of Trubrain's effectiveness would be awesome. e.g. conclusion that Trubrain increased my grades by x%, etc.

Even subjective observations would be interesting albeit not as persuasive.

Thanks for the cost analysis btw, very thorough job.
Your problem is not encryption keys and directories, near as much as physical removal of the appliance itself due to government seizure.

Your ability to protect your tenants is first and foremost their capability to retrieve their own data, less so your ability to guard their data from unwanted parties.

A lot of people with nothing to fear lost their data today.

Most of the companies I receive email from these days have 122Kb of crap attached to the bottom by their outgoing MTA. You know: awards, disclaimers, twitter icons, facebook icons.

Makes me want to fuck off back to plain text.
I have to use different computers throughout the day and I use Lastpass to manage passwords on my laptop. It would be awesome if there were a WordPress plugin that would allow users/admin to log-in using Persona/Gmail. That way when I am already logged in to my gmail I can use Persona/Gmail to log into my wordpress account and resume writing.

UPDATE:- There is a plugin like that http://wordpress.org/plugins/browserid/ . Too bad it doesn't work with Google Apps.
I've seen two of your comments about e-cigs mentioning quality differences. What's your go to brand?
Just as rape is not really about sex but about exerting power over someone, here also it is not so much about sleeping with the waitress but about having power over her. I think that was the main point of the article, which he chose to bolster using non-rigorous examples.

I recommend you look at how angular handles this.
For academic year 2012-3, the MIT nominal cost is $57,010. Plugging that into the BLS inflation CPI inflation calculator at 2012, that's $7350 1960 dollars.

But that's somewhere around what the tuition was 2 decades later from memory and someone graduating in 1980, the same as my first academic year. Can't remember the rest, maybe $3,000, could be less if you went for less expensive housing (not sure if that was much of an option) and especially food.

Looks like MIT's inflation rate 1979-2012 was very roughly double the CPI; I'm comfortable saying it was around that, and it's congruent with the general reports I've seen on US higher education inflation.
I wish the real HN website would get a facelift...I mean seriously, at this point it's just lazy.
What you're describing is not integrity (or perhaps integrity limited to business-customer interactions only). The more challenging part of integrity is how you treat your business partners, workers (paying peanuts to workers who manufacture the iStuff while sitting on billions), if you dodge taxes etc. That's the money part as well - being greedy and heartless vastly increases your chance of making it big.
To avoid it, no. But if they do uncover evidence on American citizens it could not be used in a trial and must be filtered out (although, see 'parallel construction').
No, he's referring to jury nullification. Like almost any tool, it can be misused for unethical purposes, as it sometimes was against my fellow Americans of African descent in hundred years leading up to the civil rights movement. However, at an earlier point in history, jury nullification was used against the slave trade when many juries refused to convict anti-slavery activities of breaking the fugitive slave law.

Presumably, using jury nullification to protect core values embedded in our constitution would not count as a misuse.
Because the trolls are very good at what they do. They usually don't sue, but rather threaten to sue unless the company they're targeting pays a fee. Said fee is set to be below what it would cost the company to fight back.

Virtually every time a company has fought back (and a decision has been reached)[0], the troll has lost. However, it costs companies (especially startups) a LOT more money to fight back. Many roll over and pay instead of fighting, and the trolls make their money.

There is a new law in the works [1] that aims to make the trolls pay the bills in the case the company fights back and wins. This will make trolling very expensive, now that companies can fight without worry of being shut down due to fees.

[0] Sadly, many companies run out of money before this point.

Oh, I meant the opposite, that if being schizophrenia-prone made you cannabis-prone (self-medication, effectively), that more people overall smoking pot might not mean that more schizophrenia-prone people were smoking pot, because that population would already be saturated.

I'm not saying that my hypotheses are correct, I'm just pointing out that if we're going to be scientific about whether cannabis induces schizophrenia we need to avoid jumping to conclusions.

Given the treatment of

Snowden: will never set foot in the US again as a free man

Manning: given solitary just to fuck with him with no punishment dished out for doing so (a room full of military assholes all saying "I didn't give the order" and no responsibility nor punishment; he just magically ended up in solitary. somehow. it's a mystery.); he shared a video of US soldiers joking about killing children

Gary Webb [1]: told us that Reagan (another piece of shit) was financing weapons with drug sales in inner cities, with profits sent to the Contras

John Kiriakou [2]: told us that George Bush and the cia now torture detainees

Who exactly is going to step forward no matter what the wrongdoing is? We ruin the lives of whisteblowers. If you want people to come forward, you simply have to not ruin their lives for doing so. Because right now it's clear what the price is for telling us what our government is truthfully doing. Hell, you could make the argument that what the NSA does is okay (I totally disagree), but CIA/president approved crack sales in inner LA. Amazing.

This is why the "first amendment" issue might be the most important part of this - he might want to stand up and say "the Govenment wants to force me to backdoor my system, and I think Congress should change the law so this can't happen", but he's not allowed to do so. Restricting this kind of clearly political speech is not right, is not just and is not democratic.
Don't be delusional. Unless you have business intentions, that rely on government not knowing what your business is, it is NOT, by any stretch of imagination" a reason to leave a country like USA, the more so for a Central American country. This issue is so minor to most people that many don't even give it much thought. I am sure you can live with the government watching you and still make some kind of contribution towards solving the problem. Besides NSA spies on the whole world if you use USA services. I live in a God's forgotten land of country you probably haven't even heard, yet I too am spied while using popular services. So my advice would be to avoid using USA based internet services when possible to minimize any potential damage your leaked private information might do to you and, together with thousands of others, help find the solution and make it happen.
The costly criminalisation of the mentally ill
(I was one of those people.)

Right, right--but what can be done in that case to work with authorities and mitigate their fucking with things on the box outside of the person they're investigating? We've already got a solution in place for users to hang on to their own data, so they can still get to it.

We'd really, really like to do the right thing here (before, you know, obstructing justice and thermiting the drives in place).

Gödel, Turing and Cantor: The Math
This is actually a subject that is surprisingly simple. For package management we have been using Kan.so for npm style package management and deployment (pushing our app to a design doc). I would like to explore just using npm for this, but Kan.so got me there quickly and I learned a lot from the project. Check https://cloudant.com/blog/app-management/ for more. This has worked out really well for us and is easily managed across our team. We all have our own data and just share the code across Github then push with Kanso. Anytime we need example data we just replicate from each other then repush our couchapp and viola.

CORS support has not been an issue as we access our app on Cloudant directly through our couchapp then it does the work. On the backend we have nodejs listeners managing tasks through state that Couch cannot handle (emails, signups ...). If you need CORS support on the front end I suggest replicating your data to AWS and having them sync or better yet asking yourself if you really need it in the first place.

My basic need for the money would be to allow me more time and resources toward the project. I could invest in new technologies that I can't personally afford and more promotion.

Except it says "just make up"--that indicates he wanted a lesser alternative to something. Either to completely fabricate the analysis, or...?
In New Zealand, there is typically no tipping (it reflects excellent service, instead of expected), it's already built into the price - not even listed as a fixed service charge percentage.

Perhaps the complaints have more to do with seeing something listed on the bill that you didn't order. If it was removed entirely instead of being presented as a tax, that might change the response.
So... there would be market for a secure email service that ran on a ship/vessel that was permanently in the middle of international waters?

This is why the speculation that even with encrypted emails, to and from address is in the clear and that could be valuable info to government. So we're back to meta data in plain text both in transit and storage.
Pond does something along those lines:

> Pond doesn't transmit messages as needed because that would disclose when messages were being sent. Instead it transmits messages at random, whether there's anything to be sent or not. When there's a real message pending, it has to wait until the next randomly timed slot, which could be many minutes.

Dowser: a guided fuzzer to find buffer overflow vulnerabilities [pdf]
This is excellent. I have used http://hackerwebapp.com/ on my iPhone for a while now, but I will put this in rotation to see how they compare. At first glance, they seem very similar and equally slick. A few comments/suggestions based on my experience on iPhone 5 iOS 6 Safari (presuming that OP is the creator, or the creator is in this thread somewhere):

When I collapse a comment, I think all subcomments should disappear as well. However, I understand that there are valid use cases for both behaviors. Maybe you could work both functionalities into the UI?

I don't think you should be pushing onto the history stack every time I toggle between Article and Comments view. It's weird that if I toggle 5 times, I have to click the back button in the top left 5 times to get back to the main news feed. That back button should probably just always go straight back to the main news feed view.

I encountered bugs trying to highlight text on comments. When I press and hold on a word, the word highlights as expected, but when I then release my touch, it registers a click, which then collapses the entire comment I was trying to highlight. I'm not sure exactly how Safari passes DOM events, but there's probably a way for you to identify "long clicks" and ignore them.

Several of the loading spinners you show over buttons are awkwardly positioned. It looks like you place the spinner precisely on the pixel I clicked. It would be nicer to center it over the button I clicked.

The article view screwed up on a lot of articles, but I'm sure you're aware of that. :)
Oops, good catch! Thanks!

EDIT: This is really odd, it's the exact same HTML/CSS, yet a different typeface. Weird.

EDIT 2: It would help if I had actually included the font in the header. Thanks again :)
It's a joke, but at the same time, I doubt the pattern-recognition bots correct for it, so it would likely have some effect security-wise, to the same extent you get by spelling 'shit' as 'sh|t'.
I hadn't known that either, nice find!
No no, enterprise requires double ROT13.
As someone who does have schizophrenia and did smoke weed heavily (once a day, an eighth a week), I support its legalization with the caveat that people should be screened for its use and people with likely predisposition for schizophrenia should avoid it, and if Big Pharma (which I hate) wants to develop a version which lowers the likelihood of developing schizophrenia (which I do not believe is likely), I'm all for it. I would not say marijuana use caused schizophrenia in my case, there's a possibility that I would've developed schizophrenia later in life when I had a career, and it might've been worse for me, or might have been better.

I'd also like to add that stimulants, alcohol, and psychedelics are some other classes of drugs to avoid, if you feel you are predisposed to schizophrenia.
It's a hassle. I took a full stack of nootropics daily (a larger stack than what's described here, close to 20 pills / day) for about a year and ultimately just decided it was too much hassle. There are benefits, but laziness overruled. I may actually try this since having it all prepackaged for me is completely worth the difference in cost.

Maybe that's because the US exports the surveillance state, not because the locals like it so much. It will be interesting to see if any US allies go their own way on this issue.

As far as I know, web apps don't have direct access to or control over the Android back button. I think the solution is to add history events, because in browsers the Android back button defaults to navigating back in history, but this web app already seems to be doing that.
