Then why didn't they pick Tribe? The problem isn't that Sunstein doesn't have the legal chops. The problem is that Sunstein has gone on record (and written a book) supporting governmental overreach. You're hiring yes-men to do your "independent review".

Anyone positing the holocaust didn't happen is competing in a marketplace of ideas where the evidence is overwhelmingly to the contrary.

You can't believe a country like Germany with one of the strongest cultural and scientific traditions could have accept genocide of such magnitude.
That just makes so much sense. It has exactly matched my experience.

It's sometimes not clear that a label plus an icon is actually better than a label alone: I think having the right icon alongside the right label multiplies their effectiveness. The icon is immediately recognizable, while the label is immediately comprehensible.

You get both good learnability and fast recall in one. Best of both worlds.
If I have a time-varying signal containing a sinewave at some frequency f, and if I want to detect that signal, I could try generating a bunch of sinewaves that were changing at different rates and multiply each by the original signal of interest over time. If one of the sinewaves was close enough in frequency to the signal of interest, the sequential multiplication in the time domain would leave a nonzero result. I could call that a spectral line that identified the original signal. For those test frequencies not matched to the incoming signal, the sequential multiplications would produce a zero result.

It's sort of like tuning a radio, trying to detect a narrow incoming signal -- the signal is only detectable at a specific receiver frequency. The difference is the DFT tunes a spectrum of frequencies simultaneously, and presents its results as a set of spectral lines covering a specified frequency domain.

All the players in this story are complex numbers. This allows an unambiguous multiplication result when the signal is compared to various test frequencies -- for a monotonic frequency signal, the result is zero except at the frequency of interest.

The FFT is a refinement of the DFT that minimizes the amount of computation, but its results are identical to the DFT.

One of the more interesting aspects of Fourier analysis is the role of the Euler formula:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_formula

Understanding Euler's formula given one a profound insight into how Fourier and inverse Fourier transforms work. It turns out that an inverse Fourier transform is accomplished by simply changing the sign of a subexpression:

The same sign change determines whether a DFT converts from time to frequency domain or the reverse:

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the chain of custody of evidence. The methods and results of the search are 100% the FBI's responsibility, and they simply can't trust Verizon to do it right. It's the sort of thing that an appeals court would tear apart in an instance.
Did some digging and found them on Schema.org. Here are some of the creative work schemas: http://schema.org/CreativeWork.
It was built on a single "stack", but all of the code and technology involved was multi-platform. It would probably take a month or two to make it fully portable. But the RPM database it used was independent of the OS, and it provided all its own dependencies across multiple architectures and versions of the OS. (You could also run it on Solaris...)
There are some neat ideas in that post, but without a solid security and validation framework built in, I'd be reluctant to add more application capabilities to email clients.

Note that certificates are always sent in plain. If it's a CA-signed certificate it will always have a common name or subject alt name field that specifies what host it is for (or a wildcard), readable in plain.

If it's a self-signed certificate scrubbed from anything identifiable then a server could still try to correlate what website you visited by the public key from the certificate.

What do you mean "subtle" and "modern"? I'd go with something more like "gaudy" and "distracting".

Links should be blue and underlined, and visited or hovered-over links should be purple and still underlined. (Or some other pair of colors, that makes links stand out from non-links, and visited links look "faded" compared to non-visited links.)

Distracting special effects just show off you 1337 web skillz and detract from whatever made your site worth visiting.
> while Woz was technically employed at Apple until 1987

I think that Woz is actually still employed at Apple even today. According to both his personal website and autobiography he still takes a paycheck (Wikipedia says around $120k a year). Like you say though, he has no involvement at Apple anymore despite the salary.

That probably makes him technically the only Apple employee who's allowed to openly critique new product releases in public!
IIRC out of the big 3, the Apple ][ was first on the market available to consumers; the other two were thrown together after the Apple got shopped to Tandy and Commodore. (I'm not completely sure of this memory.) It was clearly a much better computer than the other two; I doubt the PET and TRS-80 would have succeeded for long if Apple weren't already fond of high margins.

I'm 25 years old this year. I did 3 years of college -- actually, undergraduate law school in the National University of Singapore, itself a top-10 law school in the world. I didn't graduate, left school, and ran a small software business for 2 years (up until now). I have sizeable savings to self-fund my education.

I graduated from Raffles Institution, possibly the best high school in the whole of Asia (source: WSJ). My SAT I/II scores are 2,310/2,400 and 2,400/2,400 respectively. They were taken in 2007, however. My high school grades were superb, too -- I graduated top 5% of my class. I maintained a full scholarship throughout college till right before I left.

I want to go to Los Angeles, California, by hook or by crook on a student's visa. I don't care if it's a community college, 2-year college, apprentice school, drama school, anything -- I just want to be in Los Angeles legally as a student. And then go for casting auditions whenever I have the time while I pursue my education on the side.

I'm self-funding, so cost is a major issue; unless there is some financial aid scheme I might qualify for, I'm looking for a cheap school. Prestige is almost immaterial. Bottom line: I'm looking for a cheap and easy-to-get-into school to study acting in Los Angeles, California.

What options do I have? Thanks in advance!
What idiots...bringing their personal cell phones to crime scenes.
> Also, probability would have to be taught in law schools.

The first couple of weeks of my Evidence class was a crash course in probability and Bayes' rule. Our final exam had an entire section on it. I'd imagine you can still get through law school without learning probability, but it's getting increasingly harder as Evidence is reformulated on probabilistic grounds, just as Torts was reformulated on economics grounds in the 1960-1970's. Today you probably can't get through a Torts class without learning about Pareto efficiency or Coase theorem, etc. Also, empiricism is a dominant academic trend right now in legal academia, and it heavily relies on statistical approaches.
This is the "purity test" theory of public policy. It's easy to be the kind of scholar that Obama (or Bush) can put on any panel; just shut up. Don't write anything ambitious or controversial.

The idea that Cass Sunstein is a "yes man" for Obama is laughable. If anything, it's the other way around.

You will also find in the work of most constitutional scholars something to upset any message board anarcho-libertarian, because very few of them believe in the black-letter absolutism that anarcho-libertarians choose to evaluate the Constitution in. You think there's nothing in Tribe's record to argue with? He's a gun control supporter, for one. You think pundits wouldn't be calling him an "Obama yes-man"?
Now that Ballmer and Steven Sinofsky are out, I could see J Allard coming back.

(Edit) Reasoning:

1) He's one of the few Microsoft executives (at the time) who saw the rise of the internet in the 90's and the rise of mobile in the early 2000's

2) He spearheaded Xbox, Zune, and Courier, which appear to be the direction Microsoft wants to head towards

3) He must still be somewhat connected with Microsoft, as he appeared in the Xbox One video reveal
The company I work for also had this problem.

The solutions was in fact simple: we told our customers we wouldn't add any features or changes other than bugfixes.
When you are telling the software is outdated and the support is gone they all understand it's time to move on [1].

Most of the time the customer also wants to get rid of the outdated website/webapp. So it's also a good reason to start something new.

[1] Ofcourse this doesn't work for all customers.

Indeed; wouldn't we be ... concerned if they'd used a multi-user database?

For 150,000 records, Access for them, perhaps a Perl or whatever script for us, and then you abandon everything but the very small number of specific hits.

This legitimate use is unfortunately the justification for the NSA's Hoovering of telephone metadata, e.g. you can't tell a judge ahead of time the specific numbers you're looking for until you've correlated them against your initial lead.
I think the main question that would help me would be "Why do I need Shipbuilder?" with different examples of when I would need it, how it compares to other tools, what it was designed to accomplish, all the system and network dependencies, and a breakdown of each individual component and how it works with other components. Mainly I want to be able to have an image in my head of how it fits into my network/system, what it might replace, or how I can take advantage of it.

If having a technologist was important, there would be a technologist there. I'm sure there are many who would accept a position if it was offered. Much more likely is that it wasn't considered a technology matter at all. The technology is just there to do what its told after all.

Being myself a UI/UX designer,"we get deeply involved in the product buildup to a point that an emoticon like thing can often seem implicit. Why in the world would someone not get it? It’s so implicit to us that it’s never even a point of discussion or question." I couldn't agree more and have personally experienced a lot of times. So I have made a habit of testing everything with friends and first time users. It really effects and help improve UX a LOT.

User testing should really be focused more.

For the case of icons and text.I really feel that the situation and context is important. Like for road sign I strongly feel using combination of icon and text really works the best.
Several of these are actually quite nice.

Granted, they're definitely not link styles to be used "generally", in body text, etc. -- but for an appropriately image-conscious site, they could work particularly in a site header, for example.

Unfortunately it's hard to comment on them individually since they don't really have "names"... but "Wafture", and "Chatoyant" (against red) are particularly nice and tasteful.

"With increased firearm regulations you find an increase in violent crime."

Is there some control for the possibility that those areas enacted firearm regulations due to already having a lot of violent crime?

Edit: It is addressed in the linked to document:

"But the more plausible explanation for many nations having widespread gun ownership with low violence is that these nations never had high murder and violence rates and so never had occasion to enact severe anti‐gun laws. On the other hand, in nations that have ex‐perienced high and rising violent crime rates, the legislative reaction has generally been to enact increasingly severe antigun laws" - (Bottom of Pg. 672)
The fact that these guys used their own names and carried their phones says a lot about the crimes. Hard to believe the bit about the run-in (They called 911!) with cops in Telluride, and no way to link these guys to the banks:

In February 2010, three days after they had robbed a bank in Park City, Utah, police received a 911 call from Capito. He was in the mountains outside of Telluride, Colorado, and when the cops arrived they found him carrying a Glock handgun and standing next to a silver Toyota Avalon with blood in the front seat and signs of struggle in the snow.

Capito told them that he and Glore had argued and that he had punched Glore in the nose, after which Glore ran off into the woods. After several hours, Glore had not returned and Capito was worried. The police eventually found Glore "hypothermic and bloody," and they charged Capito was carrying a concealed weapon and with disorderly conduct. But they gave Capito's $4,029 wad of cash to Glore, who promptly used it to bail Capito out of jail. (The Glock had likely just been used in the robbery and the money had probably come from the Park City heist.)

Also, I was in Prescott Valley on Glassford Hill when that October robbery of Country Bank occurred. Still remember seeing that asshole buzz off on an ATV. Made me late for class! Sweet justice is served.
I've never been asked exactly what my GPA was for my internships/co ops, but many had something like "Above a 3.00 GPA required" in their job posting. None of the companies ever asked me about it in the interview or elsewhere, so I imagine it was just HR.
Um, am I the only one that feels that part of my job is to make my boss look good?
Should be obvious. Violent areas need to create more laws to control the violence. Peaceful areas don't need to tell their citizens not to have guns.

You need to consult with a competent attorney. The legal issues aren't as simple as they may seem at first glance.

Companies have prevailed against individuals in cases where the company name, and the individual's name, were the same, solely on commercial grounds. For example, the McDonald's restaurant chain has prevailed against individual restaurant owners named "McDonald", although such claims don't always work.

TL;DR: See an attorney.
Having skimmed the paper over, I'd like to quote this parapgraph, running from end of page 16 and rolling over to page 17.

Once again, we are not arguing that the data in Table 2 shows that gun control _causes_ nations to have much higher murder rates than neighboring nations that permit handgun ownership. Rather, we assert a political causation for the observed correlation that nations with stringent gun controls tend to have much higher murder rates than nations that allow guns. The political causation is that nations which have violence problems tend to adopt severe gun controls, but these do not reduce violence, which is determined by basic socio‐cultural and economic factors.

Stringent gun control policies tend to appear in nations and/or regions where violence is already a problem. This study merely underlines the futility of any single tunnel-visioned policy - people who are willing to commit murder, are also willing to expend effort to find any weapon(s) to allow them to proceed in their endeavours.

Here in Finland, we have quite a few weapons, but they are rarely used in violent crimes. This nation tends to favour bladed weapons in their homicides: knives, axes and other things that are easy to pick up and use in drunken anger.
Remember that Haskell is lazy. In broad strokes, the way you control when things happen is to sequence them by combining them (directly or indirectly) into the massive IO action that becomes main.

If you don't care when it happens, you can use unsafePerformIO - which is just fine for debugging, though there are often better approaches.

I get a very different message from that story. The Calculator Construction Kit struck me, the first time I read this, as the ur-program for HyperCard and (especially) Quartz Composer.

I think Steve took one look at it and said "yep, this is how you design a user interface". NeXT and Apple kept coming back to this idea.
Linux certainly is not immune to malware in general or even `viruses` in particular, but a virus isn't a very effective means of attacking "Linux." While it's usually used as a catch all for any malware, a virus is a specific type of malware. It needs to be able to infect a machine then spread. Most Linux installations use a security model that requires an administrative (root or sudo) password to install software. The biggest challenge that virus authors have when targeting "Linux" is the wide range of distros.

When you target Windoze you can write a .exe file and convince your victim to execute it. What type of file would you use to attack Linux users? If they use RPM, you could use a .RPM file. If they use Debian or Ubuntu, you could provide a .deb file. If you are attempting to send your virus to every email address in the victim's address book, you would need to know the package manager of the victim before deciding which attack package to distribute. Certainly, you could distribute the package as a script which determines the OS then grabs the appropriate package from a repository and installs it, but then you're exposing a lot of information about your attack to every victim. Eventually someone catches it.

So no Linux is not immune to viruses, but it's more the platform than the audience that prevents these attacks. When you want to attack Linux users, use a rootkit instead. Actually... please don't attack Linux users, there are enough Windoze users out there, and you shouldn't attack them either... because... ethics

I saw the Woz speak just a couple of months ago and he spent probably half an hour (total, not consecutively) of the talk bashing Jobs in various ways, talking about how Jobs would take credit for his work, etc. He portrayed Jobs as a slick marketer who wasn't ashamed of making use of others' successes for his own gain.

I agree on that.

Maybe one of these will fit our sensibilities:

"NYPD's actions suggest they can label all mosques as potential terrorism organizations."

"NYPD's actions suggest they have a right to secretly or openly spy on men praying in any mosque in New York."

"NYPD's actions suggest they are overriding constitutional rights of Muslims praying in mosques, in the name of security."

(All of these are straightforward conclusions from the article.)
Ask HN: Freelancers, would you pay for a service that let your clients prepay?
Tim, CTO/Co-Founder of matchist here.

We're thinking of developing a separate payment product for freelancers. The problem this product would solve is getting your clients to pay on time by having them fund milestones and release payment as milestones are completed (similar to the current matchist payment system). Here's how it would work:

1) When you secure a contract, you set up milestones for the project in the system.
2) Clients prepay for the milestone. There is no fee for them.
3) When you finish the milestone, you ask for payment to be released.
4) The client releases payment.

The cost would be $50/month for holding $1k or less in the system. If there was $5k or less being held in escrow, we would charge $100, and $10k would be $200/month.

What do you think? Please be honest: Would you pay for this product?
