You realize of course that bank accounts are insured?

Editing bec I can't reply somehow:

The case you have was "tenuous circumstances"

I myself have experienced having my account cleaned out of a couple of thousand dollars (stolen/compromised ATM), and the bank had my funds back in 3 days. Pretty sure I won't be ruined in that time frame. Anybody who has 250k in the bank isn't living in tenuous Circumstances.
This isn't outrage porn, hysteria or anything else. Its simple violation of the american judicial system. Point blank period.

As for your downvotes, dont agree with downvoting someone just because you disagree with them.
I've wondered about insects too. I'm aware of at least one contemporary restaurant in Australia serving crickets, mealworms, ants, etc. I suspect more will follow.

UN seems keen too. Apparently there are prototype factories growing insects to be crushed and used in a powdered form, and/or used as feed for livestock.
I haven't heard of any exploding batteries (only burning ones), but I've seen tons of dashcam videos with gas tanks exploding on impact.
dylangs1030 seemed to be talking about morality, not legality, in talking about "the reason why it's so bad". Legal definitions are irrelevant to discussions of morality.
I'll summarize the article:

1) He hates Larry, therefore we should all hate Larry's language.

2) He looked in the official detailed technical docs when he was looking for a "learning..." book or a "... for dummies" book. By analogy he was looking for dietel and dietel but when he picked up stroustrop his eyes started burning.

3) He hates the idea that references exist and some people like them and use them. Although you don't have to use them, at all. Also if you insist on implementing your own object oriented design the slow hard way by hand using references instead of "use Moose;" like a normal person, its hard and slow just the way you asked for it, instead of being made impossible.

4) He doesn't like the large number of features. He especially dislikes the single/double character magic variables. Some of them take as much as 30 seconds with google to learn and use!

5) Strange rant about lego as a programming language analogy, which boils down to much like lego, languages should have just a handful of fully understood small pieces that hurt your feet when stepped on barefooted; You must fully understand all (few) language features before programming. I think he's calling for the return of Basic Assembly Language on a S/360 mainframe, or perhaps a more RISC alternative like enterprise grade 6502 machine code.

Its a weird essay. I think its a parody of the recent spat of perl-hate.
> The collection of information of data of innocent people, people with no probable cause they are committing crimes or without a warrant, is not OK.

Aye, there's the rub. The collection of the trawl data invariably will uncover some crimes being committed by people who are not suspected of committing crimes. In other words, search and seizure without probable cause. Now it appears this illegally begotten evidence is being used to point federal law enforcement at targets. Do you really not see a problem with this?
To be honest, I'm American and I sometimes feel weird capitalizing it in emails or documents because a lot of Americans don't capitalize it in common usage.

A great imitative. Adding Tor support for private mode would only improve it, and give people a mode where searching for health issues, job advice, or any other sensitive information can be done private.

Maybe not common knowledge, but if you do search queries of those types, your ads in Youtube, Google, and other areas are likely to change. Their business model is to target ads based on previous searches. If you then share the network with other family members, those ads will pop up on their screens to.
I agree. What Tor needs is basically the same thing that encrypted email needs - a wide-spread and dead-simple user interface.

If Mozilla were to incorporate a "Tor Browsing Mode" analogous to "Private Browsing Mode" that "just worked" and didn't leak data, then Tor use would explode. Even just 0.1% of firefox's userbase would make a huge difference.
wait until you find out about Castoreum..
I think it's important to realize that what constitutes a lie in a legal framework under oath is often completely different than several of the myriad definitions of lies found in popular culture as well as lies that are civilly actionable in conjunction with sales transactions.

The closest fit from your link (only listed lie I saw that pertained to legal proceedings):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie#Perjury

doesn't speak of omission, but rather only material representations that are verifiably false.

If you're seeing something that I'm not, let me know.
Google is phenomenal on their technical merit.

It is precisely technical merit where they fell down and that's why he decided against the development.

Source? I've been unable to find anything that claims the reported numbers are that high for males.
Thank you for the link 300bps.

Edit: So this seems to speak to a bit of what the main link was talking about. This extension of the exclusionary rule doesn't speak to whether or not omission of first cause is lying (under the legal definition), but rather about how if the first cause evidence was obtained illegally, then it cannot be used.

The crux of this issue seems to be that the prosecution is not volunteering information that might trigger the defense to look for Fruit of the Poisonous Tree in the first place (and does that cross the line into illegality, thus preventing evaluation). I would hope it does...

Fun fact: Perl probably encompasses more supporting library code than any other language other than C.

The Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) currently has 123,757 Perl modules in 28,037 distributions, written by 10,829 authors, mirrored on 270 servers.

Back in 2004 (almost 10 years; there's been some developments since then) someone ran SLOCCount on all of CPAN, and it estimated the development cost at about $677 million dollars. http://web.archive.org/web/20041010230806/http://www.etla.or...

Before you choose another language for your project, ask yourself if it's not going to cost more to write everything you'll need, or if using pre-existing, time-tested code might do the trick for cheaper.

The one downside about Perl that I think is the most unfortunate is the ninja aspect. You have to be a Perl ninja to write good Perl code. There's no two ways about it. If you come from a different language, you have to ignore all the rules and guidelines you used to develop in, and learn the Perl way, or be ye damned. Which is why most Perl code you've been forced to maintain sucks.
This would be a fun addition to RosettaCode.org.
Language model would give you the opposite problem - eg you scan a print of _this_ page containing the word "contoots" which your language model corrects to "contents"...
So this depends on git, bzr and hg? Why?

Because SOD has more investigative inputs than just the NSA, and also because they are not required to track only metadata for foreigners.

More mundane (and perhaps more likely) is that the source data for that kind of tip comes from wiretaps from existing open investigations. You might not get probable cause for a search based on the wiretap data alone, so SOD gets the local cops to alert on the car instead and "start" the follow-up investigation.
This is certainly the prevailing wisdom, but I disagree actually. The tech to get in-vitro meat to a point that's just objectively more palatable, healthy, and inexpensive than traditional meat will be incredibly complex. On the order of Musk's work at Tesla, or greater.

But once it surpasses that point, no amount of bad marketing could keep it from being commercially successful.
Can someone differentiate between OpenCV and openBR? I think I've read about people using OpenCV for facial recognition. How do these both differ?

That was a fun read from 2004, if largely irrelevant in 2013. Perl 6 finally has a stable release, but hardly anyone uses it. Perl will continue to have a place in UNIX sysadmin and quite a few hackers' toolkits for a while, but by now most new programmers are starting with Python or Ruby or even Javascript as their primary scripting language. New programmers are generally not learning Perl and haven't been for a while.
Just a plug for a similar tool I wrote in python. I feel it's a bit more lightweight than Hugo.

It's just money. It would set the victims back (if the bank doesn't cover) but if they live in the first world and their life is ruined just because they lost all their money, they need perspective. They would still have all that really matters: family, food, shelter, access to education and healthcare, job, no physical injuries. It's just money.
Have a dose of snark:

You crackpot tinfoil hat-wearing kooks imagine all sorts of bizarro world stuff: the Bildeburgers, Skull and Bones, One-world elite conspiracies straight from the imagination of Dan Brown. I mean, how crazy do you have to be to think that every prosecutor in the US is conspiring with the DEA and the NSA, and that this has been going on for years without anyone noticing? You know what else? If you don't want to go to jail for drug smuggling, don't smuggle drugs!

What's that? The gov't admits it? I see. Well you know, nobody made the drug smugglers use a cell phone. There has never been any privacy expectation for business records! That's between the phone company and the gov't. These programs are lawful and they have been approved by every single congressman. They all agree unanimously. Don't like it? Get a different phone company!

The gov't needs this to protect our children from terrerrerrorism. Do you know how many terror attacks there would have been if they weren't working to keep us safe? No! Because they can't tell you; that would compromise the operations! The truth is that the vast majority of gov't agents are honest hard working people trying to keep your children safe. They should be celebrated as heroes. These disclosures only serve to harm the Motherland^H^H^H Homeland security. Now we'll have to just spend more taxes for new secret programs to replace the ones revealed by treacherous commie spies! /s
Honestly, I blame the way history is taught in America. It's neutered any sense of class solidarity, riddled with retroactive ideological lensing and the worship of personalities.
Although it doesn't state what was taken, it does mention that the copied code in question is not related to the trading algorithms.

If it did, then Goldman's reaction would be well justified (to the extent that sub-millisecond arbitrage that siphons billions out of the markets each year and into the hands of a few firms can be justified).
I only deal with iOS, so excuse my ignorance, however the following statement from the article is puzzling:

"While Android fragmentation is increasing, the development time for developers is not."

Because earlier in the article it states this:

"Whenever we have a new release we spend about four hours testing the new build on all the devices. In total we estimate the extra effort of fixing device or vendor specific crashes to add 10% to our development time."

So it seems a bit inconsistent. If there is more fragmentation, then that 10% development time figure would necessarily have to increase.

I would be interested in the data demonstrating the cost-benefit analysis of supporting the high fragmentation as opposed to just supporting the the OS version with the highest penetration. I'm not arguing either way, but it would be interesting to see the effect on revenue. My hypothesis is that older OSes would likely result in less revenue (than newer OSes), so the question would be if the revenue would exceed the percentage of development cost dedicated to the particular OS in question. I really have no idea.

> HN is starting to feel like a place where activists hang out.

Activism? The political topics do kind of have a "let's all get along" and "do the right thing" feeling to them. It reminds me of going to the store to get junk food, then when I'm there realizing I should be buying the "lite" and "low salt" versions.

The political dimension to technology has always baffled me. Everyone seems to want me to think something. And yet, no matter what we do, the same problems remain. Where do I sign up to vote against politics?

Regarding Slashdot, all internet sites have a finite lifespan, however, and eventually the cruft builds up. That can be in the code, or the "culture," in the userbase itself.

I guess what we have in common at HN is liking to do things, so we should talk about that, and not theorize about what we should think about how we do it.

I come here for the technology news and the personalities, myself.
Maybe, but this just reminds me of the whole "Pepsi vs. Coke" or "Android vs. iPhone" tests. Just because people rationally understand that synthetic meat is the same/better than traditional doesn't mean that they'll run out to buy it.

To you, yes, it would probably take like despair the first several times you were to eat it.

"Versions before 2.2 are ancient by smartphone standards and can therefore also be ignored, just like most developers ignore iOS 3.0 and earlier."

In fact, the current Xcode version only enables developers to target iOS 4.3 and above. So even if a developer would want to support 3.0, he would not be able to do so.
But breach of contract and copyright are civil issues, not criminal (modulo the insane copyright criminality laws of late). Besides, no damages have ever been postulated, let alone proved.
> If anyone here found his bank account empty, would he be ok with a top of 5 years of jail time for the culprit?

Yes I would. Anything more would be completely disproportionate and not constructive. 5 years is a very severe sentence for a non-violent crime by someone who is not an acute threat to the safety of others.

I don't have any thirst for medieval revenge. I would be more interested in ways to get my money back.

And I would not want to be in any way responsible for the culprit to suffer the human rights abuse of the American prison system. If it were up to me, my country would never, ever extradite to the US.

I've seen this article's on that topic before: http://www.gizmag.com/modern-meadow-in-vitro-leather/24441/

The idea is generally that growing leather involves solving many of the same problems as growing meat, but lets you bootstrap the business on something that doesn't involve the FDA clearing you as a food (nor does it have the same cognitive effects on people wearing something lab-grown vs eating something lab-grown).

Maybe, just maybe buying animal-products, where the animals didn't suffer, where they were raised species-appropriate, would help, as it would be a ecological signal as well.

If more people would do that, a lot more incentives would be there, to not let animals suffer just for human consumption.

Since I switched to only eating animal products, where I know, how the animals lived, I do eat a lot less meat. i do pay a lot more (and I do that consciously). And I have the benefit, that it also does taste so much better, that I really enjoy this in more then one way, when I eat it (sometimes pork-steak, sometimes ham, sometimes goat-salami). We buy at a local farm, that raise, slaughter and process the meat all by themselves, and produce at least 50% of the food that is needed for raising the animals on the farm itself. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioland#Certification)

So for me this was a viable alternative - but I could understand, if this is not possible in other circumstances of life.

Mars Rover: One Year Later
At both food stores I shop at, there are already freezer sections of fake meat. Mostly (entirely?) based on extremely heavily processed soy. I would imagine this different form of fake meat would sneak into that same section.

I would bet you could sell more "real" fake meat to vegetarians sick of flavored tofu easier than selling "real" fake meat to omnivores used to the real stuff.

Back when I used to eat soy, I occasionally would eat "steaklets" which seem to have disappeared from the market. They were basically soy bean hashbrown "pucks" with meat flavoring. They were strangely good, but by no means could you confuse them with "meat". I would expect it to be much easier to adulterate "real" steaklets with fake "real" meat than to adulterate a genuine steak with fake meat.
Email size is a technical issue that shouldn't be limiting (or even visible) to the end user. If an end user wants to send a multigigabyte file to another user's email address - why not? The email client could launch a background upload process and email a link to get that file by, say, bittorrent... Some protocol extensions and software support would be needed, but that can be done and, as users need it, probabpy should be done.

Exactly.

The benefits to ending animal suffering, the environment, and maybe even human health could be amazing if they could produce molecularly identical artificial meat, but the one interesting aspect of it is that as a consequence of our wanting to avoid animal cruelty, billions of animals will never exist.

I know it might be silly to question whether a chicken or cow would prefer existence with a cruel end to nothing, but it's still kind of an interesting thought.
