My guess is that some social engineering is involved. That's how the Soviets hacked the Manhattan Project in the 1940s: planting spies, and/or bribing scientists involved in the R&D.

Another guess is that, because so many defense contractors and manufacturers are interdependent these days -- almost nobody designs or builds complete systems anymore -- they are tied to each other through communication channels and networks. A really good hacker-spy could piece together bits of information from Source A with information from Sources B, C, D, and discover or infer vulnerabilities from there.

Air-gapping does seem like an obvious choice, however, and I'm legitimately puzzled if it's not being done for the most sensitive design systems.
Google hires Prof Hinton. Facebook counters. There was a subtle point in the article referencing the fact that this challenge has both a software and hardware component. Add in complexities of parallel processing and running on GPUs and you have a pretty limited talent poop to pick from.

Glad to see the interest in deep learning even if it is sensationalizing it a bit. More interest and a bigger community will be helpful for startups like us.
it's also where the nih and nasa are located. I had 3 technical jobs there that had nothing to do with politics, and my 2 friends who live in the area work on technology things which have nothing to do with politics. Rent in DC is exorbitant and making demand higher by not allowing tall buildings seems silly to me.
I stopped buying music over a year ago after signing up for Spotify, and after copying over 500 CDs to AAC format files recently, I'm not sure I'll be buying much music after this.
Is anyone else surprised by the wave of positive media towards Apple these past few weeks? I'm honestly so used to Apple being bashed that I was even expecting this article to be negative near the end. I was also expecting to see the top HN comment say something along the lines of "no this is BS I could never use Apple products".
I have read the charter, yes. have you? Do you forget that the religious freedoms part is mean that neither the citizens nor government dictate what religions to follow or practice. What Quebec is trying to change is how the government dictates how the government may represent itself, that is as secular. It still does not affect you personally, or how you identify yourself publicly at all; unless you work in government, but why would you want to work for the government? Doesn't pay well and is shit.

I don't think you understand cognitive dissonance at all. Do you presume to know how all of Canada feels? Perhaps the majority of people nearest you do share the same thoughts on the subject, and that you don't feel it's right. Just because someone happens to offer a different viewpoint than you, and you happen to disagree with it, doesn't mean that I have cognitive dissonance. I'm more than capable of accepting new ideas. This idea in particular is different than the one I grew up with and I happen to see value it in.

You clearly do not understand what I'm saying. I don't care what people practice, or how they are in their own homes or out in public. I don't feel untoward or speak ill of anyone who is religious or wants to wear things they consider to be part of whatever it is they consider to be their identity. What I do think is fair is that anyone representing government not display their beliefs. It's not fair that quebec has made distinctions between what is acceptable and not. Nothing should be worn by individuals. It doesn't matter nor does it help to perform your job. If you work somewhere, it'll most likely have a dress code. Consider this an extension of that.

I don't mind that many canadians feel this is a violation of the charter; maybe they should be thinking about what they value more: how government represents and polices itself or social identity. This has nothing to do with how the government treats citizens. Yes, citizens make up the government; but guess what - you're not representing segments and races: you're representing canada.

But isn't canada made up of many races? Am I seriously suggesting people not represent things they cannot change, which is skin colour or whatnot. no. but what are you really trying to accomplish in government? represent canada or whatever background you happened to be born into without choice.

you don't like my thoughts since it doesn't fit your ideal and initial world view: that's cognitive dissonance. I can accept people for who they are, and I really don't care about this issue as much as it may seem, despite replying to your bait and various others. At the end of the day, Quebec isn't going to get what they want, and canada is going to keep on rolling; you'll have your way, and I won't care what Quebec's decision is.

Still want me to leave? I bet you'd relish the thought. I'll stick around long enough to challenge your views though. enjoy.
But no AirPlay (or anything like it built in), which is a pain. There are a couple of hacky third-party solutions.

Recall a recent hack/heist re ATM withdrawal limits:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2418841,00.asp

"The elimination of withdrawal limits enables the participants to withdraw literally unlimited amounts of cash until the operation is shut down," the U.S. attorney's office said.

From the FAQ: Can I see your mozconfig/build environment/configuration files?

The answer is: No, this is my baby.

While I'm quite happy with FF as my primary browser now that historical memory issues are mostly resolved, I'd be interested in building a FF release from source and having build-time options. The Pale Moon source code being distributed via "ge.tt" seems designed to obfuscate in a world of git. I'll pass.
I use Clementine, which is a fork of Amarok before it went 2.0. It's pretty spiffy.

A useful comparison might be made with marijuana (where it is legal). It's not everyone's thing, and people should not assume it is, and instead design social events so both those who indulge and those who don't can usefully interact.

Almost nobody wants to manually drag music files from a web browser's download manager into some app. There are exceptions, but Apple almost certainly doesn't care about those users.

You can already download iTunes songs directly from iOS devices if you wish - it's been possible since 2008, IIRC.
"Four-Hour Body" is also very much worth a read. Both the methodology he uses and the ideas themselves are useful - and our bodies are a pretty big part of our lives.

Haven't read "Four-Hour Chef" yet, but people have recommended it for the stuff on learning.
These are really great resources, and I highly recommend them, however, they don't rank high in the search results. Like it or not, the googles is the gateway to the craft of web development...

Same in alot of other spaces. Coupon codes for online shopping for example. We operate a site which carries the exact same coupons as the largest coupon site out there does, but the latter hogs all the rankings and is impossible to displace whilst ours goes begging. No obvious reason apart from the fact that they were around earlier when coupon sites were a novelty and picked up plenty of backlinks from media outlets for that reason.
Nature for $38/yr
Believe me, I've spent enough time with Play to know exactly how the build system does its thing with external dependencies.

The problem I'm referring to is that, for a long time at least (I know pre-2.1, maybe 2.1 as well), there was no way to aggregate non-Play projects--that is, ones that didn't have a conf directory and did have their own pom.xml or whatever--and use the recompiler. So if you were trying to build your project using an external Java/Scala domain object library that could be shared between projects and wanted it to hot-recompile while you're working (because I at least don't write every model class before I get going) you were in for a world of hurt.
There is no excuse for not having a fuzz-testing framework to catch issues like this. It's straight-up lazy.
Google's Logo Used To Have An Exclamation Point Like Yahoo
I ran the technical side of a global CA for 5 years (left the industry early this year) and I can tell you that while validation (outside of EV) is relatively simple, the technical/legal/audit aspects add up to a significant cost.

If you want to run a CA you need to obtain sufficient funding (on an ongoing basis, these aren't all one-time costs) to do things properly. Properly means expensive audits, expensive HSMs, expensive secure rooms with multi-factor authentication to enter, auditing of all actions, long-term record retention, reliable and performant OCSP responders, endless documentation (DR, secure hardware lifecycle policies, etc), being an active member of the CABForum to drive your agenda and keep abreast of changing industry requirements, and much, much more. Of course, by doing so you are attempting to upend a multi-billion dollar industry, so expect a political fight with the CAs and potentially the browsers as well...

These problems are part of what lead people to prefer replacing the industry (DANE, Convergence, TACK) over building a non-profit CA in the existing model. Of course, replacement comes with its own huge set of obstacles.

All that said, if you're a company with a bunch of money you want to spend on this problem, let me know. I am willing to lend a hand.
You speaking of rational responses. You likely refer to the rational expectations hypothesis in economics. The default assumption is of course that everyone makes rational decisions, including the poor.

Since they are making decisions that you don't think are rational ("it's probably rare for the optimal solution ..."), you conclude that the reason is that the poor people are less well-informed.

This makes sense, so long as everyone has equal access to the same services, or at least access to the same services you do, and that there is competition among those services.

However, as the author points out, the poor areas are under-served in terms of banking choices, and banks use "private databases like ChexSystems that currently keep more than a million low income Americans from being able to open accounts."

Because of the obvious market inequality, you cannot conclude as you did that the people who use RiteCheck are making either an irrational decision or un-informed decisions.
Really? I just did a quick comparison, and w3schools was much better than MDN. Try looking for info on the 'required' attribute of the input tag. w3schools has all the attributes in a compact table making it easy to find the attribute you're looking for at a glance, whereas MDN has a big long list. In w3schools you can then click on the 'required' attribute to get more info about it and see which browsers it works on. In MDN there is no info on browser compatibility in the 'required' description - you have to scroll down to ANOTHER table (there is not even a link to it) to see what browser it is compatible with! Come on, even back in web 1.0 we had links to stuff!

The reason that w3schools is at the top of the search results is that more people find it useful that MDN. Perhaps it isn't as cool with the hipsters as MDN, but for people trying to get things done w3schools is more useful in my opinion.
I don't think that shoe has dropped yet. As far as domestic surveillance goes, NSA seems to be approaching the level in terms of capabilities of Chinese MSS. In terms of foreign surveillance, although we can safely assume NSA has access to more fiber and hence internet traffic, there seems little reason to think their hacking activities are any more prevalent than any other large intelligence agency. Those capabilities are, after all, rather cheap.

What we haven't learned of, at least yet, is rampant industrial espionage by NSA to steal R&D and a pipeline for dealing with the stolen results. China, at least according to US allegations, has precisely that.
Why are you trying to judge them based on 8 data points when a better comparison is the article you're commenting on?
New building methods create ugly, uncomfortable, temporary environments. If you've ever lived in, say, Paris or New York, you may understand the feeling of living in the hollowed-out shell of a once-great city.

The Freedom Tower is incredibly boring, not to mention dated, and will have the oppressive atmosphere of any modern office space inside.

I have recently successfully used inline SVG in IE10, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. I had issues, and found bugs, but I also found workarounds fairly quickly.

I think you are mistaken.

You are assuming that the climate system can be modeled via linear mechanisms, that human caused changes are more significant (from a climate modeling standpoint) than natural variations, and that the costs of modifying human behavior (e.g. more expensive energy via renewables vs coal) are less than the costs of adjusting to a changing climate.

My biggest frustration with the CAGW adherents is that they don't assign any cost to their proposed mediation policies. Often their cures are worse than the disease.

CAGW is used as a justification for all sorts of increases in government power, which by itself is probably more dangerous than even the worst scenarios promulgated by CAGW supporters.
Wow, thats bold.
I would love to do some experiments with divs, but i would really hesitate to put something like that in production.

I think that comments like this confirm that we really need new/better APIs, and i hope that browsers will get into it.
W3Schools is nothing more than a simple to use (google) and navigate (google) collection of pages with tons of reminders to jog your memory about what exactly it was that a specific css selector or html tag did again.

If you use it to learn PHP programming you're doing it wrong. If you use it to learn MySQL, you're doing it wrong. If you use it to learn how browsers work, you're doing it wrong. As a Cliff's notes for HTML and CSS, however, it is more than adequate.
Do you have any freaking clue, whatsoever, how science works? Do you?

I'm pretty sure you freaking don't. Because if you did, you'd understand that everyone is out to prove each other wrong. And these aren't clueless denier I've-got-an-engineering-degree-and-I-read-some-articles-and-so-I-know-everything-tards that are doing the proving-wrong: these are people who've spent 30 years reading papers, talking with thousands of similarly knowledgeable people, and collecting and analyzing data. This isn't to say that they know everything or that they're always right or that they aren't subject to groupthink: those problems definitely exist. But what they're good at -- what they spend ALL THEIR TIME DOING -- is making sure that cherry-picking, and other stuff like it, isn't going on.

They're not bumbling fools who work at think tanks and therefore aren't at all accountable to their peers for the arguments they make or the things they say; these are people whose job it is to be right about things that very few people are thinking about, and to make sure that other people are right when they're doing the same. That's what they spend their days doing.

It's also not unknown for a state you used to live in to suddenly decide you owe them a large amount of taxes, and take it directly from your bank account.
This is a great comment, thank you

I guess at the end of the day, poor people present poor revenue opportunities for banks. So the banks resort to underhanded methods (ie ones that customer would not agree to if they were given a choice). In turn, these customers learn to mistrust the banks and turn away.
"If there was actual demand for denser housing or office space you'd see it sprouting up across the river in Virginia or outside the southeast of the city where land is dirt cheap."

This is untrue. If housing desirablility is inversely proportional to the distance from the White House, then the area of equally desirable housing increases with square of the distance. You won't get dense nodes. It'll be spread around in a circle.

"this will not lead to affordable or convenient housing"

The more housing you allow, the cheaper it will be compared to a universe with supply restrictions. Do you disagree with that?
I suggest memorizing it. Knowing it from the top of your head is much faster than googling or looking it up. That being said, a reference is helpful in the beginning stage.
Was hoping for ropes. Not bad, though.
"I find mozilla developer network (mdn) blows away w3schools in all ways."

Couldn't disagree more.

Don't get me wrong, MDN has way better information but take yourself through the eyes of someone who just needs a quick reminder or sample of how to do something.

I'll use a 1280x800 screen sample since that's a common size.

Compare this:

Above the fold, one is a very quick and easy way for users to copy code and modify it for their purposes. It's also stupidly simple language. To make a box shadow, do this. The other has undisputedly better technical data but forces you have to scroll below to just see a sample code. And most new coders wouldn't understand how to read their syntax section. On top of that, w3schools lays out values in tables whereas MDN has paragraphs of copy.

By no means am I arguing that MDN doesn't have more detail, but I can definitely see why W3Schools is still used by those who know better.

Right, because that gives a place substance...
This is very subjective. I live in the hollowed out shell of a once so-so city. I've also lived in a lively city with big buildings. I liked the latter much more.
I wish Google would bring back actual results blocking, you used to be able to maintain a list of sites that would be blocked from the results and they'd be removed before the result set was returned so you'd never run the risk of an empty page that happens with this extension. Better than nothing though.
So what?

Wait, that's backwards. The point of Markdown is that you type the formatting quickly, instead of clicking buttons on a toolbar.

Massachusetts drivers are notorious for their bad behavior, enough so that when you cross the border to NH, NH has signs "Drive courteously, it is the New Hampshire Way."

It's better now, but back in the 1980's, "massholes" were famous for driving in the breakdown lane when traffic got tight, often jamming up the breakdown lane as well as all the other lanes.

The signature "masshole", however, is the driver of a rear-wheel drive European car. I remember one time I was driving 495 at 2AM in the morning in heavy rain and heavy traffic with an average speed of about 85 mph. I didn't have enough traction to feel safe driving at that speed, but it didn't seem safe to drive 30 mph less than prevailing traffic either. Then all of a sudden a sports car comes up from behind me and passes me in the breakdown lane at what must have been at least 110 mph.

(At least he didn't get in trouble like the drunk who I saw driving the wrong way in Boston and then hit a police car head on)
That might very well be the case. Of the friends of mine that like that page on Facebook, most of them are either involved (or have been involved) with science or technology.
To everyone complaining that companies just want to pack in more lobbyists: There are lots of non-lobbyists in DC, you know? Some of those people include blue collar workers, people on minimum wage, and even nonprofit employees trying to scale back what lobbyists are extracting from us via government. Higher rents (due to less housing) hurt all of those groups. High-paid lobbyists can live in Georgetown regardless. The poor cannot.
Memo to GitHub: It’s Time to Stop Geeking Out
The bigger risk if your poor is not having access to your money while the FDIC sorts out the problems. Now, I don't know how long it would take to restore access to your money in a bank closure but, for a lot of these people, having your funds frozen for a week or two would be crippling.
No one is saying that we should devote 100% of GDP to mitigating global warming. Go ahead, factor in the uncertainty. What % of GDP should we spend to avert the very real possibility catastrophic warning occurs? What % are we spending?
Your #2 reminds me of something Bjorn Lomborg (yeah yeah, I'm not a fan either - nor a hater, in fact, I just don't know enough about the nuances of the issues involved to have an opinion that's well thought out enough to defend) said in an interview on Dutch television years ago.

He said the money spent on implementing Kyoto was much better spent combating the direct effects of global warming, for example by building dikes in areas that were too poor to build them themselves and that were likely to be affected by rising sea levels, like Bangladesh.

To my layman's ears, that sounded quite reasonable.

It still does, in fact.
It would take a long time, the first few times you did it. Do it a few times per day with a second pilot reading and checking the items to you.
This is literally the worst, most propoganda filled article I've possibly ever read.

Also, does it irritate anyone that forcing companies to take care of their employees is called a penalty?
