>Do you realize that if music producers can't make a satisfactory profit, then music will just not be produced?

I cringe whenever I hear someone express this sentiment, it's the equivalent of the nuclear option. Do you really think these companies are just going to get frustrated, pack up their toys and go home? No, of course not. It's the same reason I don't buy into these "starving artist" sob stories: no one can escape market forces. The fact of the matter is, that business landscape is extremely competitive and typically requires a large initial investment. It's always been this way. The one force that seems to be an equalizer is technology in general getting cheaper and cheaper, NOT the protectionism known as copyright.
Yeah, but that's not how that sentence is parsed by somebody who doesn't know what Fedora is.

"They're hacking Fedora, one of the most popular Operating Systems in the enterprise world, created and developed mostly in the US"

vs

"They're hacking Fedora, an operating system used in China"

Both sentences are true, but the resulting spin is quite different. A person who doesn't know anything about Fedora, next time he's offered to install Fedora by his professional geek of choice, will associate it with Chinese hackers. Great, isn't it?
For both two spaces and and toilet paper, the heart of the issue is not that it's the slightest bit important, but that one's own preference is always so blindingly obviously correct.
If you calculate like this you should count the roads and other public infrastructure you are using as income...
I believe the idea is that if we ignore the fact that this article refutes slate, we can pretend slate refutes this article.
A double space is Nx more area for a visual cue.

N is at least 8 to 1.
That's true. I forgot to mention that I capped the lengths of negative edits to 10.
Thanks. Btw, what's that ??? after Chicago? You mean you might be open for remote (overseas) candidates?
While there is some truth to what you say, I would point out that (A) a person making $9 a year would still be paying around $900 federal tax, and (B) my understanding is that TANF is not especially intrusive (not sure what you mean by divisive).

I still don't understand the logic of "X will make people angry so you shouldn't do X". Since I already care about how well off poor people are, why should I care about what makes people angry directly. While the government needs votes to stay in power, that doesn't change what in theory is the best policy, it just restricts the set of policies that we can choose from. While increasing welfare and decreasing tax on the poor, while (possibly) removing the minimum wage, might make some people angry, I don't see why this makes it a bad policy.
Fair point; I have set a minimum point size set which also reduces the characters per line.

Regarding black on dark grey: yes, far preferable to black on white.
I know all of it. What you don't seem to be aware of is that there are a lot of farmers who don't follow these practices. I make an effort to do research about the food I buy and to make sure it comes only from sustainable, non-industrial farming methods.

What I was trying to get at in my question is that there is nothing "safe" about the assumption that ALL animal products are unethical. It's just a blanket generalization that discourages learning more about the subject.
That's the effect are having!

Kleptography is pretty well defined in the first sentence of its section: Kleptography is persuading the party to be intercepted to use a form of cryptography that the attacker knows they can break. So yes, in some instances it's encouraging the cracked RSA standard, and in others, it means encouraging "weak ECC curves".

You're a highly-regarded member of this site and a very vocal security expert, yet lately you've started dodging security questions you used to freely answer, and you post odd comments that tend to derail security threads. At one time, you regularly had the top comment with a highly insightful technical explanation of how a security concept works. What happened?
Is it safe to „let it crash”?
Hacker. In all senses of the word. Brilliant post!
The issue of what happens to the males is often overlooked. In dairy cattle, the bulls are relatively useless (low meat yield, etc), so they're killed. Same with roosters - laying breeds are far different from meat breeds, so the males are ground up as chicks.
Will there be a way to view a recording of these lectures later?
your post give me one idea:

what about using am Rodeh Btree[1], to create concurrent snapshots of the running kernel, in this btree, so we could switch them in runtime.. you compile a new version (CRC does not match) them it will create a new branch/snapshot on memory and will start from there..

kernels of course should be designed in a transactional way
manage states, etc.. rsrs..

anyway just a wild idea, dont know if its even useful doe..

Student loans were exempted from bankruptcy, allowing banks to make riskier loans (more students, higher amounts). Colleges soon followed with increased tuition to match student's new ability to pay.
Ha ha. No designers. Remember Java applets? Yeah, that was a thing.
The rest of us will keep doing HTML 5 and DOM.
Bye.
I don't see any support of your position in your comments, just that people who do it differently from you are stubborn and uneducated. (It's very ironic because it doesn't seem like you've considered how it'd be if someone flipped this the other way and directed such comments at you.)

Meanwhile I've typed double spaces for multiple decades and haven't ever had anyone ask me to do it the other way. Seems you've a lot of people to educate.
It doesn't really help the author's case that they only examples of extra space after a period they have is with justified text. ALL computer software will add extra space after periods in justified text. In flush-left text, 2 spaces after a sentence just looks bad, period.

I also like how the author manually went in and &nbsp;&nbsp; after every period just to make a statement.

For the record, these contrarian articles bother me because I'm a creative director and I have to put up with my underlings showing me HN articles saying that design dogmas like "serif text is easier to read in body copy" and "2 spaces after a period is bad" are WRONG and that I'm not listening to the "facts". The problem? They try to prove me wrong and the results look like shit. The author here tried to prove me wrong, but the result is his typography looks like shit. I hope they're happy!
Should Google's unit converter/calculator search feature convert time zones?
Every time I need to covert a time zone I instinctively type something like "7:30 PM MST in Arizona time" or "6 AM Iceland in San Francisco Time" and expect it work pretty much the same as typing "80 mph in m/s" or "9003 + 1834" in the search box, but it never does...<p>Is there a good reason why? Am I out of line thinking that converting time zones would work like converting units?
I read the blog post and every blog post the blog posts pointed to. You seem to be right - some engineers ported Android to Lumia hardware. As the blog posts stated, there are surely Microsoft employees playing around with iOS 7 and Google employees playing around with Windows Phone.

This post seems more a symptom of professional bloggers needing to fill story quotas rather than being actual news.
Meta-gripe: the navigation seems to use some kind of asynch loading without pushing to the browser history stack, and I'm finding it very difficult to move back and forth from the ToC to chapters. Maybe this can be addressed.
Brilliantly lazy, I would say, since he used out-of-box software to do the piping, he didn't have to write any code. My first inclination would be to format nginx's logs to a JSON array like such:

log_format json '["$time_local","$msec","$remote_addr","$remote_user","$http_host","$request","$status","$upstream_addr","$upstream_cache_status","$bytes_sent","$request_time","$upstream_response_time","$http_referer","$http_user_agent","$http_x_forwarded_for","$http_cookie","$upstream_http_x_session_key","$upstream_http_x_session_user"]';

(just copied and pasted from my own config, many fields are not relevant to this use case in particular).

Then log to a named pipe into a program which would then RPUSH the entries into a LIST or maybe PUBLISH them to a channel, from where several different analytics programs would be running for several different metrics that depend on the same data, so that they could run in parallel.
Sure, though I have found that when people talk about freedom these days, it's really more about power and less about freedom.
Here is some stats perspective on the size of student loans:

to be honest not that much. most people have never heard of Linux let alone Debian compiler toolchains. and almost everyone who has heard of it, already is reacting about as hard as they can.
Wow, what a fucked-up piece of short-termism that was.
other design note to make this feasible, its to design it in a way, where each cpu core, could have its own kernel copy.. so you can try to boot up, the other version in another core, while you are using the old version in an active/context core?

I'm considering moving to Houston early next year. Are there any resources I can use to educate myself about the different parts of the city in terms of quality and cost of living?
>>> And we are not stuck on our planet forever, there are more planets nearby waiting to be 'devastated'.

Yeah right! We can have a movie on that planet with Cameroon directing,can't we?.

All snark aside, there is only one planet which is nearby and can be terra-formed, Mars. Our Solar system is huge as we go far from our sun, we loose precious energy we get from sun which is very important to sustain any kind of flora or fauna.And no the big moons of Jupiter are quite hostile and cold, one the moon has liquid methane raining from it's atmosphere. How can you terra-form that? Anything further than asteroid belt is just too damn cold.

Now coming to other solar systems, I learnt in my high-school that our near star Alpha Centauri (I know proxima centauri is the nearest, but alpha was mentioned in our textbook, but doesn't matter same system) is more than 4 light years away and no planet in the habitable zone.However if anyone builds a machine which enables us to travel to alpha in say a couple of months. I will immediately marry and procreate(May be in 10 years have 5-7 kids).

I hope Elon Musk(or someone else) succeeds and dies a natural death on Mars. It is important for humanity.
No. There's no print stylesheet, and it breaks on readability. Otherwise, you could try blocking JS on the page.

Best to copy-paste everything into your plaintext editor of choice. Bit screwy, but it's better than the existing page.
Ask HN: Why is Facebook indexed in search engine, against robots.txt rules?
Facebooks robots.txt : https://www.facebook.com/robots.txt

Facebook Has several different rules for different search engines.

But if you go to the end of file. You will find this one rule.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

The "User-agent: *" means this section applies to all robots. The "Disallow: /" tells the robot that it should not visit any pages on the site.

site:facebook.com returns About 3,520,000,000 results in google.

Then my question is why is facebook.com indexed in google and other search engines?

> However, I think we could use a better way to associate emails with PGP keys. ...
> Alternatively, Google could have a service where you securely ask it "what is the key for example@gmail.com" and it responds with the key

There is the PGP global directory which does essentially that (i.e., given an email address provides a key for with the email address verified by sending an email there... which is as good as what Google would be able to provide).

Doesn't seem to get much more use either way: I don't think the problem with driving up PGP adoption is the distribution of public keys.
If a person is choosing the words, they aren't going to be uniformly chosen from the list. For example, I'd be willing to bet "monkey" is much more common in passwords than "contacted" even though both words are probably known by about the same number of people.
Now, can syslog-ng be made to wrap each flush in a Redis pipeline?
How might one submit an app to be included in this list? I have a few apps in review that are built from the ground up for iOS 7.
You seem to be in a minority on this; I thought it was technically impressive, but the majority of people appear not to like it.

yes, at least for me.
Have you tried cold-brewing coffee? It extracts flavors without much acid and no bitterness. Good beans become excellent; mediocre beans become nice.
One issue is you can put the thing in a lead box or whatever until you need it for a toll. there is no requirement that it be available. so its easily thwarted as an enforcement mechanism. one could also envision equal protection lawsuits or what not related to this as well.
I used fbsd for 15+ years, 10+ years in production... and found it to be very stable.

I never experienced the problem you mentioned with packages... but packages are frozen at release.. so they're never updated... so you end up having to use ports for everything anyway. I always disliked having to compile every single package from source. If you have a large number of systems, it's worth setting up a build server and creating your own packages.

Major upgrades ARE scarier than on Linux. They have a fairly new binary upgrade tool that I never used.. upgrades using build world generally work ok.. just update your source tree, wait a few days for anyone to report bugs on the mailing list, and then run build world. You can't do this over ssh though.. you need concole access. Again, if you have a large number of machines, setting up a build server is worth it.

With that said though... FBSD has been slowly losing out in my company. 10 years ago, I used it everywhere... then fbsd neglected the desktop (not enough resources in the project), and Linux got so far ahead, that I was pretty much forced to switch to Linux on every workstation. Then a few years ago, found fbsd wasn't stable when virtualized.. ran a custom build on Xen for a while.. but eventually moved to Debian.. so it's now about 90% Linux.
Can you please break up the 3rd line of your post, it is badly breaking the comment page layout.
I too had same doubt. Hope someone who is expert in SEO could answer this in better way.
Punch That Wall A Few Times
Responsibility is usually a concept that is emotionally tied with blame and punishment. That's how most people talk about responsibility.

However, if you are reacting to past associations with rewards and punishments, you are not being response-able. Being responsible doesn't mean, "I am going to be a responsible adult," as in, "I am fulfilling this socially-conditioned image of an 'adult'." Responsibility means being able to make choices (whether they are informed, or not, wise or foolish, it does not matter; there is no such thing as a "responsible choice"), then accepting all the consequences of each choice. It's only when you accept what is, is, are you able to respond with more choices and actions. People tend to want to make choices, yet avoid accepting the unexpected or undesirable outcomes of those choice. By avoiding or deluding themselves into thinking the undesirable did not happen, they compound avoidance with more avoidance until they are paralyzed, unable to act. They are unable to respond.

Sometimes, to avoid a trap, you have to let things go. You let go of what seems to be urgent, accept the consequence of letting go of the urgent, in order to make room to climb out of the trap. Or to use a more concrete metaphor: if your foot is caught in a bear trap, and the bear is coming after you, and you don't want to be eaten, then chop off your foot. (That or just sit down and die with dignity).

Yes. It sucks. Yes, it will hurt. Yes, you might still die of infections, bleeding out, or get chased down by the bear. Or maybe the bear gets distracted by the newly chopped-off foot and you're able to hobble away. What is, is. You choose, you accept.

So most people who think of themselves as responsible adults are not actually responsible. They are simply re-enacting behaviors and emotional patterns of a child with a parent; the parental figure often being society and other authority figures. This re-enactment happens whether someone grows up in an environment of scarcity or abundance. In face of situations that really suck, these folk regress into the helpless child, hoping someone else will make the hard choices for them or magically make things better. Or lament that, they've done all the right things, it's not fair that things suck.

People who think of "responsibility" this way tends to use paternalistic language -- something, I think, that your word usage suggests.

Look for Startup Advisors Who Can Teach, Not Tell
By the way, I read SICP and it's one of my favorite book. It's unbelievable how quick things are hacked... i.e. 2 pages and you've got a SQL-like language. Also, I must agree that Scheme really fit with the theme and the book. It's clean, it's concise, there's no funky syntax to learn. And, I also must agree that the interpreter and compiler parts would be much much more complex in JS.

All that being said, I still think lots of great concepts behind SICP can be explained with JS as the main language instead of scheme. If it can help some people to feel at home and quick the book, that's just great. They'll most likely like it and then read the real SICP for the other parts.

Lastly, I must agree that when I read SICP the first time, it was also to learn scheme as a side-effect. But it's not necessarily everyone.
Hey, you know, I'm not a parent so feel free to disregard my advice.

But think of when the first time you saw any kind of pornographic or erotic material was. Did your parents know? Were the next n years of your life composed of, in part, hiding that fact from your parents? I found a porn mag in the park once when I was maybe 9 and the next several years of my life were filled with confusion and stifled curiosity.

Being that I'm Indian my parents did not want to even think that I would ever want to know anything about women until age 30, when they would marry me to one of their friends' daughters just after we both finished our residencies. They thought that through denial and obstinance they could force the world to be a nice, pleasant reality. The only thing they communicated to me is that they were unable to help me with any of my "real" problems so I would have to seek answers elsewhere.

So to me, not having a frank discussion about what exactly the Internet has in store for naively inquisitive minds, including a journey through the perverted forest of cocks that is chatroulette, seems like a decision that serves you more than it serves your kids. I would implore you to investigate whether its your own discomfort that you're trying to avoid, rather than upsetting children who will invariably see penises before you want them to.

To me it seems likely that something will happen that will disturb them and leave an impression -- this could be an accidental glance at something they weren't meant to see, a discarded piece of porn, driving past an adult bookstore when the door is open, or it could be something more intentional and malicious.

Wouldn't it be great if they were prepared for those moments, instead of being caught clueless and unaware?
Great thread on LOPSA-Discuss about what attracts IT Admins to job postings
Exactly. They don't realize that though. I was at a talk with some UK IFPI execs last year who just didn't understand computers or the internet or online self-promotional distribution. It was kinda astounding. He kept harping on the point that "you just can't get quality" unless you're backed by a studio belonging to his organization.

LOOK:

I must admit I was a bit disappointed when I looked these up. They’re all just simple combinations of dear old sine and cosine. Why did they even get names?! From a time and place where I can sit on my couch and find the sine of any angle correct to 100 decimal places nearly instantaneously using an online calculator, the versine is unnecessary. But these seemingly superfluous functions filled needs in a pre-calculator world.

What if a different robots.txt is being served up for the real Googlebots?

EDIT:

Based on the comments in their robots.txt it appears that they are whitelisting certain robots. You would have to apply for your robot to crawl their site at https://www.facebook.com/apps/site_scraping_tos.php

They probably serve up unique generated robots.txt based on whitelisted robots. You'd never know what rules it contains unless you are a whitelisted robot.
This part was really interesting too:

Public and private research universities had increased revenue from services like hospitals as well as from the Federal government, yet raised tuition to further increase costs. Other private institutions (such as liberal arts schools) have less revenue from their endowments and alumni gifts. They are charging higher tuition to both make up for that revenue and fund additional spending. To make up for less state funding, however, non-research public institutions are both raising tuition and spending less.

In other words, everyone is getting tuition increases, but only community colleges and lower-level state colleges are actually seeing a cutback in programs. That actually makes me kind of physically sick.
The part which you omitted is that you can also use a period for denoting an abbreviation. It then can become ambiguous as to whether you're parsing that, or the end of a line. The only way to then determine whether it's an abbreviation is to use some other form of heuristic, which becomes a pain in the ass.

Regardless, we're seriously into Parkinson's Law of Triviality territory. I'll support either way as long as the bike shed has an aluminum roof.
