Relationships die for a lot of reasons. Facebook could just be that cathartic destination of our love-anxieties. It's a convenient target, organizing memories and suitors and character in a psychologically-exploitative document.

I don't think Facebook generates envy, or even facilitates it. It just organizes it. I think if you feel envy and jealousy you're going to spread it out among lots of anxieties or maybe focus it on Facebook—not necessarily experience more of it.

Besides, think of all the healthy interactions we get from Facebook. It lets the folks who have a hard time selling themselves in real life advertise their character in an uninhibited way. We get to advertise the pretty sides and the ugly sides of ourselves, if we choose.

It's like any form of expression. Generally good I think. Though I did read lately that learning how to broadcast is not the same as learning how to converse, and maybe that's the root poison. It is fundamentally about selling yourself and sharing a lot, which isn't always a healthy thing.

Especially for relationships.
Brand new process...
maybe try interfacing with some of the imagemagick tools: http://www.imagemagick.org - it's insanely powerful.
Lol, where do you get that from? That logic won't take you far in a courtroom. Children have the same basic human rights you have, you can't violate their privacy just because you own something they use.
The same reason integrals require continuous functions, which also can't meaningfully exist: it's a mathematical model. Just because it can't possibly exist in the real world does not mean it's useless or even "wrong" per se.
I'm totally confused (once again something on HN makes me feel like an idiot). Doesn't Dropbox already give everyone free hosting? Dropbox has been hosting my website, on their dime, for quite a while already (http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41075/brentnoorda/index.h...). So, um... What?
> Can you help me understand why free markets "by definition" require that which cannot exist?

Because, like "perfect information", "free markets" are an abstract conceptual ideal.
So, in my office, we needed a way to communicate passwords with each other; we hadn't gotten everyone on board the GPG train yet, so we setup an IRC server with SSL for that purpose.

...then we found out someone was connecting to it with a web-based IRC client.
Yeah, Kernel Concepts sells the OpenPGP card in a SIM breakout style too.

I really wanted the CryptoStick, looks like they're temporarily about of stock pending the new 2.0 revision, but not holding my breath.
You're right. I should have included "in the home" in that list. The same is true for murder victims, I believe. But Internet predators and random serial killers make more exciting TV news stories, so that's what we hear about.
Does anyone know what API call they are using to create the auto-sync relationship?

From my review of the Dropbox API they seem to support this push in their iOS and Android SDKs but for web-based SDK it appears you can only poll their API for changes. But clearly there's an event-based push going on here. Any thoughts?
By the way read this specifically the DA-Notice, UK has been gag ordered so the Guardian is nothing but a distraction at this point as they are complying with the notice. Sure, they have revealed some interesting stuff but they cannot also be completely trusted as they are compromised.

Actually I think they are related to backlift.

If you look at the demo video at 0:44, you can see a 'Our support email:' section on the page that is generated. The email in that section is 'support (at) backlift.com'.

I think the convenience part is very interesting. I would be more curious to see how they plan on monetizing it.
It seems like your definition of weak would include most high status people. That feels like not a great or useful definition.

I never learned much about RF, so this question may be naive. Is it possible to sample higher frequency signals using a 200MHz sample rate, by using a bandpass filter and then deliberately undersampling without an anti-alias filter? If so, how high could you go, and what other limitations exist?
I was offered this option in June or July.
Dan Simmons Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion are two of the best novels I've read. I read a lot of scifi, and I think they have held up very well compared to some other works that came out in the 80s through the early 90s.

They present a lot of challenges that mankind may face in the future as our technology exceeds us, but they are also very entertaining.

In the typical case, you only need dist-upgrade for upgrading to a new Debian release (which is every 2 years or so and is big enough news you'll probably hear about it). When there's a security update for the kernel, a regular upgrade/safe-upgrade[1] is sufficient to get it. Of course you must schedule a reboot yourself.

[1] "upgrade" if using apt-get, "safe-upgrade" if using aptitude
So you're redefining "engaging in behavior likely to lead to reproduction" as "weakness"?

Darwin would be intrigued by that idea, I'm sure.
Why would I use this and not GitHub Pages?
Or we should just stop hating our species ... Just a thought. Sorry, I just have uncontrollable disdain for this attitude. :)

The reverse is true.
I've read lots of existing material, including all of the IPCC reports that have been produced to date. If you think those reports, for example, consist of "hard facts", or a "pile of data" that requires detailed refutation if I don't want to buy into somebody's hysterical declarations of a planetary emergency, then there's not much point in further discussion.

As for a high school environmental science book, surely you jest. A politically correct textbook produced for politically correct state-run schools?

I will say though, the way he didn't really pay attention to her in Skype is similar to what I experience in person... with regards to people texting.

I automatically lose any respect for anyone if they do this a few times in a conversation without warning. Infuriating and disrespectful. When you start texting during our conversation I lose the will to continue speaking.
You all are making some bold claims about what is and is not ethical ... Does everyone not realize that ethics and the derivation of ethics is a fairly complex issue?

It's been something like 2 years of me saying that. I even considered starting my own github competitor just do have this single feature as a difference... but somehow I feel it wouldn't be enough for people to switch.
Read the article; your theory has been disproven by hundreds of independent experiments. Better yet, go write your own simulation and find for yourself that you are incorrect.
Any analysis that proclaims "the internet is X" is one that I am immediately disinclined to trust, because the internet is an enormous and complex medium. Imagine someone saying "books are X" or "movies are X". We know full well that books can run the gamut from shakespearean plays to smutty romance novels to historical autobiographies to technical manuals and so on. The internet is no different. There's no one mode for the internet, there are, perhaps literally, a plethora.
For centuries typographers clearly thought just the opposite, so you may want to consider the likelihood that your preferences are simply the result of relatively inflexible automatic typesetting replacing more expensive but more flexible manual typesetters during the mid 20th c., not some objective standard.

> Your concerns are not an issue with a distro like Debian

Ten years ago, I had a Debian server completely wedge itself on an update. glibc was hosed, practically nothing would run, and I couldn't untangle the mess. Had it been unattended, downtime would have been even longer than the hours it took to rebuild the box from scratch.

This was not the first or last time such an event would occur, merely the most severe.

Updates break things. Anyone who claims otherwise is either incredibly lucky, or incredibly inexperienced.
The fact that the Droid line sells despite it being basically a keyboard bolted onto a 2-3 year old phone shows that there is a market there. RIMs problem was one of software - only Android and iOS smartphones are really doing well these days, since nothing else has the app ecosystem.

Which comes back to the incremental value of features thing.
I caused a similar issue while running edits on a Confluence Wiki instance as an intern. I was helping our publications department add some macro to every single page of the site, which I found out they were doing by hand! A bit shocked, I told them I could write something to automate that in a matter of minutes.

Sure enough, several minutes later all of the pages were updated. All 50 or so pages in each of the 15 spaces. And everyone who had ever touched one of those pages got an emailed for that page.

The nice thing about the Confluence API is that you can specify "minor" updates to prevent exactly this scenario from happening.

I guess since GitHub is built on the git foundation, adding some sort of "silent" flag might not be as easily possible, but certainly it's desirable.
No, not offended. I just assumed there was pomposity involved in the decision to use this quote.
Sorry, by "web stuff" I meant the client side plus the first tier of stuff. I agree that for serious computation I want something else. Thanks for the tip on Elixir, though; that looks appealing.
Stay away from Tenderloin at night.
Yeah, I guess I just don't trust smartcards all that much from a hardware security perspective, vs. modules with battery inside a metal envelope. I'm sad Maxim/DS killed the Crypto iButton line -- it was a great compromise between smartcard cost ($20-30) and HSM physical security. The software was never great, though.
Thanks for this tip, I can't believe I missed the announcement about this feature of SSH, but this is gold.
what, no tabs vs spaces? and is a tabstop 2,3,4,6 or 8 spaces wide?

Even better, with a Raspberry Pi, you could build a physical switch to flip to turn ads on/off.
I think it's misleading to introduce this "third" quantity of 0.5x

Yes, it is misleading, that's my point :)

Put it another way: you have two quantities in two envelopes, A and B. If you choose B, what is the probability that the other envelope contains a 3rd quantity, C? The probably of that is zero, because C was not present in the initial two envelopes.

Still another way of putting it: I will place $10 in an envelope, and $20 in another envelope, then ask you to choose one. What are the chances that the other envelope contains $40? The chance of that is zero, because the only two amounts present at the start of the trick were $10 and $20.
Me too. Then I read the info, it gives an interesting historical perspective of why tsort came about. On a system with GNU utils installed:

Yes, I patched it. I think the issue is with syslog-ng as it is complaining about the configuration file. Nginx is working fine (and patched).

> Glendale Unified School District is comprised of 31 Schools and over 2,620 employees, serving 27,000 students in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade.

You are very naive about budgets. You should change that if you want to freelance or do a startup. 40k is very little money for them.
Sorry if my brain is just tired and not parsing correctly, but I'm confused about this:

>Already do I seek alternate syntax to regulate spacing.

Do you mean you want an easier way to create such 1,2,3 spaces, or that it makes you want 1-space-only more than before?
To me it doesn't seem to be extremely hard to get a Android build running on a handset that uses off the shelf hardware for most parts. Especially not if you're a specialist on smartphones.
The consultant route is a lot easier said than done; at least, if you want a good consultant.

Most truly competent sysadmins already have full-time employment by a product company or hosting provider. Most so-called sysadmin consultants are former web developers who taught themselves Linux and security, and don't know what they don't know.
This has concerned me since a student in my high school was punished for making some mean comments on another students wall on Facebook. Facebook was fairly new at the time. I presumed this would stop happening as people got more used to social services.
Even better: if I put $10 into one envelope, and $20 in another envelope and get you to choose one, what is the probability that the other envelope contains $40? Zero.
I wrote a tutorial a while ago exactly for this purpose:

Well, tin-foil-hattery traditionally refers not only to the paranoia associated with the probability of being watched but also with the malicious or manipulative intent of those people or groups. Schneier needs to protect himself from the possibility of either his data being used in a manner to prosecute or punish or action taken to stifle work he has so far kept private. It's more than reasonable for him to give credence to the threat of a self-interested government agency acting maliciously toward him.

However, Schneier was a target well before this due to the nature of his work. It is exactly the scope of the recent revelations that throws the conventional thinking on where the fuzzy line between an appropriate risk assessment based on position of interest and the general population. When the potential dragnet is widespread and permanent I no longer have to only consider how important I am now (which I'm not), but I also have to consider if I will ever be take on a role that IS important not just now, but then.

Yeah, the PETA crowd argument, which gleans over the fact that the cow wouldn't exist to begin with if not for those evil farmers and human carnivores.

These anthropomorphic arguments tend to be the result of emotional immaturity, something you find in small children.

Blocking outgoing traffic for all applications except the ones that need the Internet can make a difference, especially under Windows. For example, some applications like to phone home for no benefit to the user and there is sometime no option to turn it off.

The option to block traffic per-application in Linux is no longer included in iptables (I think it was the switch --cmd-owner )
I don't think a regulation forced Tony Wild to post this story, or for it to be voted to the top spot on HN.
You can adjust things like using a more coarse grind, lower temperature and shorter brewing times to affect bitterness. Chlorine in your water can also make for more bitter coffee. If all else fails, add a tiny, tiny amount of salt or saline solution.
Fair enough. I understand that most people who drink coffee fail do some things that you listed, e.g. they buy pre-ground stuff, so your advice is useful. I think the usual result will be better coffee, but still bitter unless you put sugar or cream.

> I just have to assume we experience or describe flavors differently.

Yes, probably the latter.
The "less energy" is only true for an uneven surface. A normal tire would have to fight against the up/down movement. The sprung tire would act somewhat like a cam and transfer the up/down movement into forward movement.
"How is it possible to feel comfortable with Google's answers when you consider that companies are forbidden from disclosing some information?"

Because you are implicitly claiming that not a single VP, SVP, well known person, etc, would be ethical enough to quit over this if Google had done it wrong.
Given who those people are, it seems far fetched.
Unix fmt double-spaces after periods, except periods after single letters.
Of course, that's only useful to you if you compose text in a text editor,
and pipe it through fmt (or par, if you are that picky), before publishing it.

Thanks to HTML, however, you wouldn't know this text, for example,
had lines about 72 characters,¹ was carefully hand-justified after fmt(1)
to leave no dangling words alone on a line before or after punctuation,²
and had double spaces after all periods inside paragraphs, except T
and S in T. S. Eliot.

¹ Except the first paragraph, better broken at “letters”, “editor”,
and “it”, and this footnote, also broken after “editor”.

² Though I would rather do that than visit violence upon decent
sentences, like this one, broke at “sentences”. Obviously it's
preferable to expand and contract margins a bit to suit the text.
Nobody does this any more though, because auto-sizing to columns
destroys manual formatting.³

³ Incidentally, these footnotes had to be separate paragraphs,
to keep them from merging with the previous one, and with the
body paragraphs. What a piece of work is HTML… it delights not me.

Here is this comment before the autoformatter got to it.

Care to explain your pedantry? Especially is connoting a favored preference, whereas even is denoting an absolute preference.
I hope this is continued. I would have loved to have been a student in Feynman's physics classes. Unfortunately, I did not realize this until I had already taken a different path and now my mind has gone enough that it is probably good that I didn't try to attain even 1/10 of what Richard knew because I would have lost it all.
Information technology has its unique attributes. One of them is it's about information, which means technology in this regard could live in almost everywhere as long as information is one related element.

Yup, personally I've stuck my OpenPGP card in a Gemplus GemPC USB Shell Token v2:

If you get the OpenPGP card with a SIM cut-out, assembly is a breeze. Almost as good as a GPF stick.
The gold iPhone was the best gimmick Apple has come up with recently to sell more phones, because there are people that would buy gold anything just to show it off and look cool, even if the case is going to cover it up.

I don't think it was Snookie. In fact, I think it is marketed at those who prefer rap and R&B music, to whom the gold trimmed Nexus's were also marketed. It sounds racist, but African Americans are a market, and many of them like gold things. It's not only African Americans, but I'd be surprised if that wasn't the intent.

But again their primary sources are fine, they're just not being honest about what they say

I only skimmed the article, but it seems like you are saying the data in the charts is OK but you don't like the text (?) If that's the case, why not make a more specific critique?

At its root, the thesis of the article seems to be there is a data-driven correlation with debt availability and COGS at universities. Notwithstanding the obvious similar correlation with Revenue.

I could check a regression, but the eyeball test looks pretty good. Personally, I thiked the author missed the mark. He should have run a correlation of student debt to university endowments.

That (time series) would be an even more interesting eye-opener.
Now you're thinking about the nominal definition of "better", but I think you underestimate the scope of and importance people give to aesthetics.

But none of that really matters because in the next ontological step we question the definition of definitions. [1] And if you look into it, the smartest people in history haven't really gotten any closer to putting debates like these to rest.

The montey hall problem can be restated in a way that makes it amenable to common sense. Door A or (Door B and Door C).
