The more immediate problem is 16 year olds going at such speeds. Driving fast on the German highway requires a good driver and a good car. I am not a good driver and have a tiny car, so I go slow (130-160 km/h).
Colin: I fear that someone has taken over your HN account!

Or is this a stress-test of the ability of the community to defend itself against fluff? A way of helping us build up antibodies by starting with a particularly weak meme? Checking to see whether the submitter is notified when a post is flagged?

I say this with smilies. It's just that I checked it out because you are one of the more dependable submitters of particularly solid stuff, and I was surprised that it was the just the usual "island in a lake" link. But I did flag it just to keep you honest. :)
another word for that is 'selfish' - they are making laws, enacting rules and enforcing behaviour which their constituents did not really want, simply because it's something they wanted for themselves.

I don't want my politicians to have a perspective which only includes themselves. Unforutnately, its all far too common.
I should have really made this a bit more precise, shouldn't I?
Who is relevant then?

FBI, who happens to work as a conduit for the NSA, along with any number of the other acronym boys? Or the corporations they hire while handing out legal immunity for the actions they are hired for? Or Google and others who also accept payoffs and immunity for helping monitor the acronym boy's targets?

How is the various crony corporations publicizing these deeds as services not relevant? This is the subject of exploits being used on users of a host whose owner was arrested, correct?

I am readily awaiting a more logical answer than another contracted service like Endgame and their pool of exploits they are so ready to use on the non legally immune citizens of the world. Or companies like Google for going along with the dragnet monitoring and exploitation of dissidents.

All of them are connected by virtue of payoffs, insider trading, market manipulation. None of it is irrelevant.
Picking out the flaws!
But much like with the US government spying, China's laws permit them to spy. It was all legal. So what's the big deal? ;)
I love how the code is such a mess. You can really tell one guy just wrote this whole thing over the span of a decade... It's just one patch on top of another and the comments are pretty amusing. Also funny to see hardcoded algorithms for pre-defined site paths and whole domains such as facebook/myspace/vimeo. This is truly a makeshift search engine on a massive scale.

EDIT: Gotta say, this has some very useful pieces of code. I'm working on a niche-specific crawler and am battling the url stripping/cleanup part of it. This is very useful: https://github.com/gigablast/open-source-search-engine/blob/...
It sounds like your approach to storing the secret key is going to be an issue for some people. I see the reasoning behind your current design, but still none of the options look really great...

a. Home server. Most people don't have a fixed IP or domain name, so it's going to be a pain for them to access their home server on the run. I do have a fixed IP, but I'd still hesitate to rely on my home connection whilst I'm roaming.

b. Localhost. No one can complain about reliability or accessibility when you are hosting the service right there on your own PC. But now I'm tied to that one PC - I can't check my e-mail from work, or from my phone.

c. Cloud / co-location. Now we have reliable hosting, but privacy?? I'd hesitate to upload my private key to a cloud server. Also, I now need 24/7 internet access even to read my old mail.

Perhaps localhost is the best place for it. My canonical e-mail store can remain IMAP in the cloud, but I can run an instance of Mailpile on each of my devices.

Will the client/server model work on a phone? - Surely most phones refuse to give enough CPU time to apps in "the background". I suppose you could weld a browser instance on to the front of it, and call it a standalone app.
The problem with "the guaranteed royalties" is that they aren't really guaranteed. Samsung has been in negotiations with Apple for ages. I'm not sure who is to blame, but there sure as hell isn't a licensing agreement between them. If Samsung can't force Apple's product of the market, what is stopping Apple from never agreeing to a license?

You cannot state either (1) or (2). It seems you're trying to believe the latter, and it might be true for some wrong-doers; however common sense suggests that not viewing such videos should contribute to lower abuse rates.

Even if it is too costly to catch the viewers first, there's no better way to find the producers after.

Monads aren't ADTs in general. The authors of haskell-98-tutorial thought otherwise.

btw, it is a good idea to reduce almost everything to the very basics - lambdas and special forms - it makes everything clear, concise and compact.

In terms of CS (not Math or any theory) Monad is an ADT. Period.

You don't know many children then - I have personally endangered mine and that of friends while I was around 10-12. The most telling example - a close friend (we were both 12) wanted me to attack him with knife to show me how to block. It was pure luck I tried to stab him at much slower speed than I was able so the whole story ended with his very deeply cut palm instead of blade in the guts.

Children are not stupid but they have some very vague concepts of what is safe.

Samsung demanded a fee equal to 2.5% of the cost of the phone. From everyone, including Apple. Apple decided this was "unreasonable" for them, demanded special treatment and refused to pay.

The ITC concluded Apple was not following the rules and not playing fairly and thus initiated the ban.

And now the administration overturns the court's decision on a whim. Keep in mind this is the same legal playground which fined Samsung 1 billion dollars for having pinch to zoom on a phone.

It's very hard to see this is anything but unfair market manipulation.

Ask HN: How to you archive inspiring design?
Every time I see great web design - from a button to a complete landing page - I want to archive it in order to look at it later and receive inspiration from it when I design myself.

I started using bookmarks for this, but it has become to much to handle and pages vanish now and then. I tried Kippt which is awesome for saving screenshots from Dribbble, but not so good for actual web pages.

How do you archive inspiring design?

EDIT: Of course it should be really easy to browse, via tags and colour.
I didn't put Java in the same group as C and C++ regarding safety. I just pointed out that they are all "poorly typed" by which I mean they have rigid, inflexible, awkward to use typing.

I agree that Java is safer than C and C++, mostly by virtue of not having pointers. However I would say that Haskell is safer than Java by a far greater degree than the degree that Java is safer than C and C++. You can encode many, many more invariants in types.

As to Haskell being unsafe, of course it is to some degree, since you can't encode, say, termination in the type system. But I'd have to know what specific examples you have in mind before responding further.

I've had experience maintaining a private Gitolite installation; we ended up migrating to Gitlab.

Managing SSH keys and repo permissions from the command line was just enough of a learning curve for users (internal developers) that they really didn't like it and tended not to use it unless forced. Gitlab has had much less pushback.

Really, it depends on whether your users are more comfortable with the command line or web interface.

Also, I found Gitolite to be a bit easier to administer than Gitlab. Gitlab is a Rails web app, with lots of moving parts. Gitolite is essentially a bunch of Perl scripts which use authorized_keys and SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND hackery to convince ssh to do the actual authenticating.

If you already know and love deploying Rails web apps (I don't), then you might find Gitlab easier.
How to use social media B2B strategies 
With so many social media B2B strategies for your business, the options can sometimes get a bit overwhelming. That is why it is important to state this disclosure. The strategies we discuss below are not nearly as important as your understanding of your target market. You have to know your target market. Are they hip, technology-savvy entrepreneurs who read blog posts in the morning while downing coffee like an IV infusion? Or, are your clients busy professionals who have no time for this gosh-darn new technology? Maybe you have a mix.
I've read this story a few times and always love it. Yeah, driving fast inherently carries a lot of risk, not only to yourself but to others around you, but it's a risk dependent on how well you know your car and how well you can drive it. You can't mitigate all the risk, just a chunk of it.

The likelihood is motorway speeds will be pushed out faster at some stage, so the record might be easier to break. However, 6 years on there's even more eyes in the sky so if you try it you're going to jail.
Huh? Burke is pretty famous even without that quote. He was one of the most influential politicians during the Revolutionary War era.

10 or 20 years ago maybe, but today? You can make $60k a year simply working the rigs or construction before the crash; what happens when the 2008 recession really ends? It also quite depends on what they can make doing another job. An English teacher might not have so many other prospects, but a math and science teacher does. Keep in mind, once we've gotten rid of the slackers, we need to replace them with talent, sure some will be in it not for the money, but how far can you go with just those teachers?

9-120k$ sounds more like a real professional salary. But then when you get rid of the bad teachers, don't more of them fit into being good? Can society afford this?

jQuery is great for progressive enhancement. Github serves mostly static pages, and then some javascript that adds a bit of functionality on top.

But that's why the alledged driver of Ben Laden is apparently in Guantanmo. In the US a Taxi driver can apparently be sentenced for many tens of years in prison. This is why my impression is that USA is going wako! Now that the US is exporting its none sense by requesting extraditions I start to be worried.

On the otherhand, although it is not clear in the article and probably for good reason, I do have the impression the guy was active in the pedophile business with it's romanian connections. If this is the case some action is required. But I don't understand the extradition and why ireland could not take care of the problem by itself.

> Sending mail from home is almost guaranteed to fail...

It's an MUA - it can sent mail just as well as any other MUA. Use your ISP's smarthost if you are using it from home.

> Webmail is fundamentally not something that can run on your own computer.

This statement is plain wrong, even if by "your own computer" you really mean "your desktop box". I can run any server I like on my desktop box. If it has a well designed installer, then it would be as easy to set up as a "normal" app - the end user might not ever know the technical details.

> The word is "web" mail, not desktop mail, it's just going to confuse users.

Now I do agree with you. The product seems to be a little bit of both, so there is some potential for confusion. "Web-mail you run on your own computer" does seem to explain it pretty well though.
Nature has proven again and again that common sense is unreliable and incorrect in nearly every scientific context. This one (statistics and psychology) should be no different.

How do you work for the media and not understand how the media works? Everything you know about the United States, somebody wanted you to know. Which is what makes your list of grievances so disturbing... it reads like the UK media's primary objective is to boost the national ego.

> Most of these people were innocent, and the dragnet caught up teachers, lawyers, police officers, etc. and resulted in 33 suicides. It took these people a very long time to have their names cleared, and most have never recovered.

I'll bet some of them even had nothing to hide. If you just take into account the fall-out from this particular incident (which should have led to a few more heads to roll) then that alone is an excellent reason why dragnet style surveillance is a really bad thing. It leads to a large number of false positives and those in turn will have very negative real world consequences for innocent people that would have otherwise been able to just continue to live their lives.

Law enforcement should be done with the scalpel, not with the blunt end of an axe.

That's a tough argument for them to make because even a 'from scratch' investigation needs to start somewhere and I can't see how they're going to do that short of anonymously tipping themselves about who to investigate.

If encrypted & signed mail becomes common enough, then I suspect the spam problem goes away. I suspect spammers won't want to sign their mail, and if they do, it would be trivial to distrust new public keys and maintain a global blacklist of bad established ones.

If you follow the installation instructions as given you get:

if settings.SECRET_KEY == '':
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SECRET_KEY'

when you get to the first syncdb

The cause seems to be that funfactory is installed globally initially (to bootstrap things) so when you switch into the virtualenv to run syncdb you need to install it again so it's also in the virtualenv.

Also - the docs don't tell you to activate the virtualenv which might confused some people but I am guessing that's pretty essential.

And even when I fix the above problem I get a new error:

ImportError: No module named django.utils.functional

Looking in the virtualenv it seems that django doesn't get installed automatically.

Is anyone else seeing these problems following the official docs or am I being a doofus?
