Section 14, "Unlawful Birth Control Methods"
Not at all. Enough methods, such as spread spectrum watermarking, survive a multitude of digital deformations and 'analog' attacks like printing and physically deforming. Action from 1.30 and German, but the demo is pretty clear. [1]

I'm talking about the Copyright Extension Act in 1995, largely attributed to Disney, that makes really old stuff almost nobody is pirating remain copyright and out of the public domain?

The reasons they may be hated for that don't bear much relationship with copyright infringement which focuses almost exclusively on newly released things that would be copyright regardless of Disney's lobbying.

Its a false assumption that it doesn't matter how much the income of the 1% grows as long as the median goes up. Humans intrinsically measure relatively, not in absolute terms. The goal of a democratic society should be to figure out how to maximize the growth of the median income, not simply accept stagnation at the median so long as a few people are getting rich.
It is a non-immigrant visa since it doesn't give you permanent residence. However, the "and so has nothing to do..." part is a non-sequitur indeed.
How many people know anyone besides Linus Torvalds? FreeBSD for example is a project that was co-founded by Jordan Hubbard, who incidentally also worked at Apple for a long time on OS X...

So named a single author, as requested. Linus may be known better, but when you are practically synonymous with badly behaved/child like/tantrum throwing behaviour you may want to rethink why you are well known...
My theory is that when typing code, I'm thinking entirely about the code and have no attention left to spend on how I'm typing it. I end up with countless typos that I have to backspace and type over again, often adding more typos in the process, yet doing it that way somehow preserves my focus much better than being careful with the keys does.
So what?

How many webapps have encypted and stored their users password "only on their own servers", to later have them leaked via combination of exploit in 3rd party software that allowed the download of their DB and a little brute force?

Only difference on an iPhone is that there are literally 100s of thousand of apps that can possibly be exploited

You could be an NSA sleeper agent, using HN to launch false-flag propaganda operations. Go ahead and prove otherwise, if you can. Until then I'm going to treat everything you say and do as an attempt to spy on me.
Your comment is appalling. I wish there were less people like you in the world :)
I have to say I really enjoy your posts that discuss things in plain labor/capital terms. It seems to be out of vogue, but you don't have to be Marxist to appreciate that the basic dynamic of labor versus capital is simply a description of reality.
There's a lot of truth to this, but it's also a massive simplification -- and a strange effort to blame tech companies for something that started happening decades ago.

Wage stagnation, growing unemployment and a decline in work started in the 70s -- well before most of these tech companies came on the scene (or had that much impact on the world). It seems to me that some people want to blame tech companies and new technology for something that's been a much wider effect across more platforms for a lot longer.
CM still relies on proprietary, opaque binary blobs for hardware support. Nobody in open source can say for sure that they're secure.
I have tried reading Cracked articles without the images to save traffic (they pay and attribute every image). It was not the same - the experience was degraded for me. Images do provide lots of value.
In 2005 I wrote similar utilities for windows called ccopy, ccut & ppaste. I recently dug them up and put them on GitHub. https://github.com/FigBug/ccopyppaste
Less +F with search highlighting mentioned in comments is my new fave command. I was beholden to 'tail -f', not that it sucked.
Why make effort to explicitly state that it's not a specification? That makes it more confusing, as it really is defining a standard interface for exposing and establishing Webhooks--i.e. pretty much a spec. So, when I read that it's not a spec, it made me question for a second whether I truly understood it.

I also agree with a previous commenter who said it's unclear what you guys' role is. Are you just defining this "spec" to help the world, and hoping that the world gets on board? Or, are you offering some sort of service? Also, how would a dev just start using these, when it requires that the services they are consuming "speak Rest Hook?". It just seems like a good idea, but not immediately useful. If there was a simple call to action that said, "Hey devs, let's all use these when building services", then the pitch would be more understandable (assuming that's what you guys are promoting).

BTW, I do think it's a worthwhile idea. Personally, I've found Webhooks to be very simple, thus I'm not really sold on the "research" that indicates devs struggle with them more than they would Resthooks. So, that's not the sell to me. It's having a standard, programmatic way of discovering Webhook availability and consuming them across various services/APIs that's the draw in my book.

Anyway, good luck.
ssh, come on...
I actually think you have it all wrong. For while malicious applications can do all sorts of nefarious things they are still individual actors. I think at this point while we all detest the extremes of marketing the more pressing concern has to do with state sanctioned surveillance which would be much more feasible with such a centralized service as provided by Apple.

I truly find your comment disingenuous and suspect as you only mention apparent malware and virii while the tone I infered from the article seemed a little more nuanced.

I just tried it on bash 4.2.25, and it worked, even though I just learned about it.
Maybe not every OS enables the same default options for Bash (I'm using Lubuntu 12.10 at the moment)
Or does it..
In addition, it may not be in said "feminists" best interest to label themselves as feminists. Marketing means a lot, and if feminism isn't exclusively about women and rather about gender equality, then "genderism" or "gender egalitarianism" is far more appropriate and inclusive.
How many units did it sell?
I really hope that what gets stored and transmitted is a hash or some sort of meta-data generated using my fingerprint and not a scan of the actual print.

This is a great summary on which technologies we can no longer trust. Not sure why it has so few points on HN.
The problem is that connections like these occur purely by chance. When you multiply the events together you get a low probability ... but there are hundreds of millions of Americans. There will be a lot of false positives.

And how will they be treated? It seems: poorly.
The real situation was much worse than that:
The Russians nicely enough told us that
the guy was a dangerous wacko. So, the
Boston police investigated and then dropped
the matter. The NSA could likely have
had a really tough time using their
electronics to get a lead as solid as
that the Russians gave us. Net,
the NSA electronic data is just not
very effective against such a wacko;
our police departments aren't either.

Maybe the hope of the NSA is catching
another UBL planning another 9/11
and do so by grabbing cell phone data.
Well, the terrorists know now to assume
that telephones and e-mail are not
secure; knowing that, the NSA will
be even more useless than now.

The NSA is just a bureaucracy gone
totally out of control because no
one with authority wants to say "Stop" and then
risk being blamed the next time
something goes "Boom!". Any
reasonable evaluation of costs
and benefits would say that the NSA
should be cut way back, say, to
their original mission of arranging
secure communications for the State
Department. Then, maybe let them
try to listen in on efforts to make
loose nukes. Otherwise, save the
money and the US Constitution.
I'm not sure keeping hobbyists locked to a particular platform is that useful to Autodesk, especially considering the prices they charge for higher level software.

If it wasn't Autodesk doing this, would you have the same reaction? What about Makerbot's move away from open-source?
> The saying that comes to mind is "possession is 9/10th of the law".

The saying was never really that - only through bastardization and a gradual veering away. In fact, it was that "possession is nine /points/ of the law".
apparently they are using some other algorithm to do this - even more impressive!

however, it seems strange in the first example how mountain ranges appear where none were before... how did the algos know to put it there?
I'm annoyed (not offended) by referring to it as privilege. To me it suggests that the "non-privileged" are being treated exactly as they should be, and the "privileged" have been elevated in some way.

Black people and women being discriminated against is just that - discrimination, and that is horrible. But that doesn't (in my mind) make a white male privileged.

Is a white woman more privileged than a black man? Who has more privilege between a black man and a black woman? What about a homeless white man vs a successful white woman?

When someone suffers discrimination it should be called out, addressed, and made right. But it's unfair to paint the rest of the planet as an enemy for not suffering the same abuse.
You could be an NSA sleeper-sleeper agent, using HN to launch false-false-flag propaganda operations. Go ahead and prove otherwise, if you can. Until then I'm going to treat everything you say and do as an attempt to spy on me.
Um, you do realise that Dan Catt isn't really a priest or a minister, don't you?
One could argue that Autodesk's killer feature here is simulation; afaik, Fritzing doesn't have that feature.
Until I take a screenshot of the image and then use that. Printers create a light band of yellow on every print that helps identify the printer it came from (counterfeiting with a store bought printer is stupid), maybe something along those lines would work?

NSA: No one “had a full understanding” of 2009 call-checking program

He's talking about this submission, not this site. There are dozens and dozens of other submissions where NSA discussion is more on-topic, and anybody here is free to submit their own article on the topic for discussion. That way, people that want to discuss the NSA at that moment can do so, and people that want to talk about something else can do so, too.

To put it another way: the problem is not the topic. It's the tactic of derailing every other topic that people want to talk about just because you think something else is too important to be ignored. That tactic, as well-intended as it might be, has a history of driving good users away from once-good fora precisely because it's so annoying to not be able to talk about anything else.
Depends. Providing the option to cancel an order necessitates authentication. E-mail updates on your order are also nice. Where do draw the line between purchase-time and lifetime user state?

This one took me a while ;)

1) Koran - [4:148] GOD does not like the utterance of bad language, unless one is treated with gross injustice. GOD is Hearer, Knower.

2) Talmud - [Ketubot 8b] Even a heavenly decree for seventy years of good can be reversed if one perverts his mouth with improper speech.

3) Bible - [Ephesians 5:4] Neither should there be vulgar speech, foolish talk, or coarse jesting – all of which are out of character – but rather thanksgiving. 5:5 For you can be confident of this one thing: 8 that no person who is immoral, impure, or greedy (such a person is an idolater) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

4) A gentleman has no skill in trifles, but has strength for big task: the vulgar are skilled in trifles, but have no strength for big tasks. - Confucius, Analects, c.400 b.c.

I wonder what this calculation would yield:

% of rapes involving handcuffs
*
% of rapes standard handcuffs used in such a way that both the keyhole and key are accessible to the hands
*
% of rapes where the victim is left unattended and fully clothed (presumably the key is in the clothes or keys) long enough to unlock the handcuffs
*
% chance of victim remembering to clip the handcuff key to their clothing
*
% chance escaping from handcuffs will result in a better outcome for the victim
*
% chance victim is not under constant intimidation and control of the perpetrator

Given that the first number - rapes that involve handcuffs - seems almost undetectable and the chances of a successful beneficial escape are quite low, I'm going to say handcuff keys are the equivalent of a tin foil hat as a rape prevention tool.
This would not work, as it would be difficult to impossible to distinguish legit content from content uploaded by liars, thus breaking the trust model you are trying to create. Here, I uploaded the entire Harry Potter series via ebook, it must be Creative Commons; right?
You appear to have some gripe that goes beyond your ridiculous accusation. It sounds like you're bitter against closed-source in general, but just won't come out and say it.

One thought that comes to mind is in the line "So all those 4 million plus views who may click through, will they count as “Views” on my Flickr page? No."

Bear that in mind - if this is accurate (and the guy once worked on Flickr), then linking to the download page avoids bumping the photo's view count up, which might indicate to the photographer that the photo's been featured on a highly trafficked page.
I just imagined a world where everyone is carrying around lopped off digits on their keyrings.

Indian companies will not hire Americans - especially white Americans. Trust me. They are here to take over and pack as many of their people into our jobs as possible. They hate us due to historical reasons.

And trust me - NO ONE wants to go back to India because it's such a hellhole.

I definitely agree with the n+1, however when you're dealing with HyperThreading I don't know that I'd bother. The extra 'cores' provided by HyperThreading are not full cores.

The idea behind HyperThreading is basically the same as your n+1 idea. A HyperThreaded core has duplicated circuitry to handle state (registers, etc) but not the execution resources. When one thread is stalled/not using the execution resources (e.g., waiting on disk IO, waiting on a fetch from RAM, etc), the other thread is already in processor ready to go and will be executed instead.

Obviously this is a bit of a simplification, but your n+1 idea is essentially already implemented in the hardware.

That said, if enough of your cores are still stalled waiting on disk/memory access and are stalled long enough to make the context switch worth it, it may be beneficial. If not, however, you might actually end up seeing some minor slow down as the processor is forced to switch between the competing processes.

I'd benchmark it.
Yes, they want things that "just work", but not against them. Most people realize that security is not perfect, but then most probably did not expect that that meant extensive and chronic surveillance.
This is pretty awesome. Clicked around for quite a bit!
Maybe Apple finally figured out how to make it not suck [1] and could implement it in a manner that instantly has millions of devices/accounts so building it into your app (if an API is offered) could be a feasible auth method?

Are fingerprint scanners a commodity? Apple purchasing $300M of IP, and retooling their production process seems to indicate that it's not as simply as gluing a $10 part onto your product.

I'm very keen to try this. Did you notice any side effects?
I disagree. FSF's usual complaints are not about who protects whom, but rather about knowing what your device is doing, which is impossible in the case of Apple.
Given that the USCIS (and so, presumably, the NSA) already has the fingerprints of every visitor to the USA, and (as I understand it) any US citizen with a drivers license, I'm not sure I understand what harvesting fingerprint signatures from the iPhone would achieve.
If you scroll down, the article describes the process. Indeed it was a merging of multiple family members. Very cool.
We can't imagine a more hostile reaction to the wave of privacy concerns sweeping the world right now than debuting a proprietary, network-accessible fingerprint scanner as your new 'feature'.

I can't imagine a more short-sighted view of product development than to assume that new hardware is a reaction to events which occurred only a few months before the first shipment of that new hardware.
Replicant attempts to remove proprietary binary components (http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/HTCDream...) whereas Firefox OS does not.
Well said, and I agree that the TouchID will be something that resonates with many consumers.
Straw man.

I said "check" not "contract" for a reason. Specifically, because it creates an obligation to pay that does not require a separate contract. Copyright law works in the same way, in that it creates an obligation to pay that does not depend on an additional contract between parties.

Obviously, there are exceptions to this rule. That is to say, copies that can be made without triggering a corresponding obligation. These are gathered under the Fair Use provision of the law.

There are also criminal and civil violations within copyright. But the larger point is that refusing to pay money owed is very much a form of deprivation.
Dude, chill.

GP wasn't saying that visas aren't used for labor arbitrage. He was just saying the data point that you pulled doesn't demonstrate it as directly as you made it seem. I, for one, don't disagree with anything that you wrote. But, it doesn't actually address the content+context of the post you were replying to.
That's the part that doesn't click with me.

This customer designs industrial HVAC systems, which suck hundreds if not thousands of kilowatt-hours per day. Millions of watts. And they're excited that the Quark draws a few milliwatts less than a competitor's part? Or that it saves a few dollars in the $100,000 bill of materials?

A better case study would someone doing a wireless sensor working off a battery in a cornfield or something. Show us the performance per watt.

That was the point of my last sentence: metadata exists for honest people who choose to do the right thing. Anyone dishonest can trivially strip this but the snake-oil vendors like digimark only raise that bar enough to catch the most inept thieves.

Put another way: Buzzfeed could trivially put a system into place to scan images to prevent mistakes. It would be a much harder problem to reliably stop dishonest editors – at that point, it'd be better to simply use something like TinEye or Google Image Search.
" More snark. This isn't helpful."

You know what? Neither are derisive comments that imply the NSA is not, in fact, violating our privacy. You'd have to be out of your goddamned mind to actually think they've stopped.
As security enthusiasts, rather than being paranoid about fingerprint scanners shouldn't we rejoice the possibility of two factor authentication (passcode + finger) it can bring to smartphones?
Wrongful termination in an at-will state without violating any protected classes or protected speech? That would be an interesting precedent to set, how would you go about that?

I love this. We need less social apps and more DIY science kits. And the greatest thing about this is the concept of buying a kit for someone that really wants to experiment and learn but doesn't have the means to buy one. And to be honest, a model where I could go and buy one for a specific user instead of a global kickstarter campaign would work even better.
