Ownership, when it extends beyond individual brute force, is always a social convention.

More than a "right" to such, society inevitably examines and challenges its social conventions. (There are some long term patterns, but even these are not steady-state.)

Society is going to look for what works for society. If and as (over-) concentrated "ownership" increasingly holds society back...

In other words, ownership at a societal level is a useful tool, but it is not an absolute.

As just one small example, even within our "ownership" society in the U.S., we increasingly have law enforcement confiscating assets without due process whether upon real or convenient suspicion of wrongdoing (asset "forfeiture").

You own it... as long as society says you own it. One reason to use it to help promote a healthy and reasonably fair society -- it's in your own long-term interest.

Then they can at least dialogue.

There isn't a standard way of authenticating the incoming notification yet. I like how Mailgun is doing it, to verify the webhook is originating from Mailgun you need to:

* Concatenate timestamp and token values.
* Encode the resulting string with the HMAC algorithm (using your API Key as a key and SHA256 digest mode).
* Compare the resulting hexdigest to the signature.
* Optionally, you can check if the timestamp is not too far from the current time.

So, you essentially get 3 extra parameters from your webhook, `timestamp`, `token` and `signature`. Obviously, the API key is the shared secret here between your app and Mailgun.
Good point, I shouldn't have been so rude.
Mostly Groovy & Grails, PostgreSQL, HTML/CSS/Javascript, JQuery. Beyond that there are quite a few specific libraries and tools that I commonly use: Lucene for text search, Rome for processing feeds, Jersey for JAX-RS REST interfacing. I tend to use JMS pretty heavily as well. Apache Camel, depending on the situation. Hadoop if there's a need for "big data" stuff.

Why? Because this stuff is mature, battle-tested and proven, and it's what I know. I find that, all around, the "JVM ecosystem" is a nice environment with great libraries and tools, and multiple languages to choose from. I like Groovy because it leverages the years I spent learning and doing Java, but it's a lot nice than Java in many ways.
I saw your study when it was released. Really excellent work. I suspect Trends will survive in some form but it has really changed over the last 24 months. It's becoming far less useful as a research tool, which seems to be Google's overall trend from transparent->opaque.

Sorry no legal code offhand, but you can surely break the law without trespassing and "causing a computer to act in a manner the owner does not desire". This shouldn't be hard to comprehend.

The law involves intent. They proved he intended to act in bad faith while gathering that data and he was rightfully found guilty.

IMO you are spot on that its FIFA's fault for choosing the location. The Cup will be moved to the winter and will affect European football due to league play.

The US was runner up and should have been awarded the World Cup in 2022. The 1994 Cup in the US was one of the most, it not the most, profitable World Cup.

The infrastructure is in place in the US to host the World Cup.

Can you imagine what political ramifications there would be if the World Cup hosting rights were taking away from Qatar and awarded to the US.
Depends of what you want, I use GNOME 3.8 on Fedora 19, is is smooth and fast.
If you use a time machine now, and travel to the past, you can collide with the past yourself, right? :)
This might be heresy being that I'm a GNOME foundation member, but at first I did not much like GNOME 3 at all. After about 3.4 it started having the polish I expected. Now, I actually really enjoy using it. The extensions are super nice and having an interactive javascript console to extend / hack on your window manager is super nifty (if you know javascript of course).

All in all, I think it is quite solid. Currently I use Fedora 18 for most of my workstations, but just updated my home desktop to Fedora 19 and notice they have the "GNOME Classic" option, which is essentially a beefed up version of the fallback mode. If you prefer GNOME 2.x, take a shot at installing Fedora 19 or 20 if you like to live on the edge. Login to the GNOME Classic session (click the sessions button in the login screen) and try it out. I think you might actually like it.

As an eternal sceptic of new things tech who really didn't much care for GNOME 3.x at first, I've actually fallen in love with it. Can't say I have any issues at all other than it doesn't do amazing with 9 monitors, but how many OSS devs have setups like that ;D

Or don't put important passwords in lastpass. I know my bank password is the least secure password I have because it wasn't randomly generated by lastpass and is easy for me to remember. On the other hand it has the lowest risk of theft profile(not in lastpass, not written down, etc.) As a security layperson I am not sure which matters more, secure as in password strength or secure in terms of ease of discovery.
Hm. Looks pretty nice; I'll be interested to see how it runs on my (rather old) desktop; the version of GNOME (I think 3.0) that came with Fedora (15, I think) ran terribly slowly. I can't seem to find any good info on the performance differences of Wayland and Xorg, though.

The Emacs documentation is excellent and among the handful of products that have documentation that approaches that of Vim's in any meaningful way, but the PDF does not have interpage links like the one in the OP does. That is not as important as it is with Vim's documentation because of how the documentation is written and because the topics are more self-contained, but it is a significant difference.

The documentation within Emacs has such links though and the topics are slightly more discoverable because the documentation can be searched without knowing its prefixes for different sections ahead of time. I have to know that some commands are organized with i_<topic> to find some insert mode documentation for instance with Vim. They are consistent in their semantics though, but that is one gotcha for newcomers and something I did not realize initially. Without that merely doing :h <topic> won't return what the user is actually wanting the documentation for as topics shadow each other in their naming and are made distinct with the naming prefixes.
This post comes across like you're incredibly ideologically invested in Scala. I'd suggest that 'the future of computing' in any dimension will take a lot more from practicality and a lot less from theory or ideology.

Specifically, the point about encouraging recursion for more 'elegance' kinda bugs me there. Recursion is more of a natural fit than loops when walking a tree or graph, and is less so when iterating a list, set or map. It's about practicality.

If you're very interested in aesthetics, you'll never like java or even not-hate it. And that's ok.
Clojure's standard persistent vectors don't allow insertion in the middle without copying the entire vector, they only allow fast insertion at the end. There is an alternative implementation here [1] which does allow insertion (anywhere) without copying the entire vector.

Ask HN: Are there any special software for managing our newsroom?
I am one of the techical staff for a low-volume national newspaper.

For some of our editorial work, we are considering a software solution for managing the editor and reporter communication and for organizing the workflow.

I made a Google search and come up with two hosted custom solutions. But they are expensive given that we might not gain any productivity boost.

As we are keen on using open source solutions, we would like to know if there are any open source or custom paid solutions.
Thanks. I'm not a big writer though but maybe one day I will take myself together and write at least 1 blog post about it.
Great, I have Gnome 3 hidden behind i3 WM ;-)

Gnome GUI still creeps through of course, and generally does the trick, although lack of drag & drop system wide is the single biggest fail whale design decision of the Gnome 2 to 3 transition, IMO (if anyone has drag & drop in Gnome 3 without a WM wrapper, chime in, will happily retract the claim if this is i3 specific).

I'd like to go with a Gnome-less stack when I upgrade to Fedora 19, but you know, Gnome, despite its warts does come with a ton of built-in convenience out of the box, so unless I find myself unemployed in the near future (i.e. with time on my hands), Gnome + i3 it will be (i3, BTW, is pretty much a wonder joy of awesome, no pun on that other WM intended).
The best part? A serious experiment detected precisely one unexplained monopole event in a monopole detector [1].

The result is unexplained, and probably always will be. Subsequent searches have turned up nothing.

Lax Rules Give U.S. Upper Hand in Tussle Over Alibaba I.P.O.
Electronic dance music (EDM) DJs are not well-known in the US. Only a tiny portion of the population listens to EDM. I'm 29 and have friends that are very interested in EDM and I've never heard of Armin van Buuren either, but have heard of Linkin Park (of course I was directly in the middle of their demographic when they broke out). I suspect this is a regional issue. In the US the marketing value of having <insert any known US band here>'s DJ is probably higher than having Armin van Buuren if you are trying to target a broad demographic out of the gate and not going for the hardcore early adopter strategy.
Until you get class-name collisions or your classes are applied to elements by other developers without you knowing. So you create more unique classes and every element ends up having 12 classes applied to it. Classes are no solution to bleeding styles.

Qatar's 2022 World Cup is a major controversy even outside of this. FIFA accepts World Cup bids mainly on the basis of bribery, but Qatar was a bridge too far. The country is so unsuitable to host a World Cup while simultaneously being so full of money that's being spent chasing prestige that it's completely blatant what really happened there.

The temperature is over 100 in the summer, so even with massive air conditioned stadiums they're not sure how to build yet, it's going to be a miserable experience for fans. If they move it to the winter, that means either January/February (which conflicts with the Winter Olympics and, in the US, the NFL postseason, leaving FOX aggrieved that their World Cup broadcasting rights are essentially worthless) or November/December (which conflicts with club football in England, particularly the traditional Boxing Day fixtures). Australia, one of the other countries that bid for 2022, is threatening to sue FIFA if they move the tournament to winter on the grounds that they bid for a summer tournament. The USA also had a very strong 2022 bid. Qatar, like Russia (who will host the 2018 World Cup) also has laws against homosexuality. The Russia bid, by the way, won against an England bid, and while it's more defensible than Qatar, it also smells of bribery and does more to motivate England in particular against FIFA's handling of the next two World Cup bidding processes.

With all that in context, this frankly isn't news. Qatar, like Dubai, is notorious for its treatment of migrant construction labor. But stories like this serve a PR purpose for the multitudes of parties aggrieved by FIFA, all of whom have money on the line.

I didn't even read the entire blog post yet, but he says right at the start that a primary motivation was wanting to be able to read through it while using his iPad.

Makes sense to me. I enjoy and find useful reading technical documentation while not sitting at a computer. Sometimes, it almost seems most productive when I read a few pages, drift off into a 10 minute nap, and then resume. Things then seem to stick better in my long term memory. (Meaning, when I'm in pure "assimilation" mode as opposed to actively working with/on/using the topic, which is also a great aid to remembering.)
I was not looking for the responsive as much as how much it effects your productivity.
> Considering wages are being held and passports are taken, I'd say the use of the word slave is justified.

Slavery has a very unambiguous definition -- people are treated as property where they're traded and sold, and forced to work. If passports are being collected and passed around in a slavery market then I'd agree with you, but as it stands there is no such evidence of that.
Key part:

Several students verified that they had been hit by pellets and had the marks to support their
claims. In one instance, a child was only 10 feet from the bus stop and ran from the shots being fired but was
still hit. Another student claimed to be shot in the back while running away during a previous incident
Wednesday, Sept. 11. This child was also shot in the arm and head during Thursday’s incident. I contacted the
school division’s Office of Student Leadership and School Board Legal Counsel for guidance. Because
students were on their way to or at a school bus stop when they were struck by pellets, the school division has
jurisdiction to take disciplinary actions against those students responsible for the disruption. There is an
expectation that all students should be able to travel to and from school in the safest environment possible.

Upload Speeds are Killing Innovation and Wasting Our Time
As much as I'd like to think that symmetric broadband is the solution; it probably isn't. After all, for everything uploaded (pics, vids, files) there is likely to be several times the demand for it's download (otherwise, it probably isn't very important race up anyhow).

However, there has to be a better way! Upload speeds from my provider, U-Verse, haven't changed in the last 5 years. Yet, I upload a lot more than I did 5 years ago; don't you? In the meantime, nothing changes with upload speeds.

Will it ever change, or, are we doomed to forever allow slow upload speeds dictate how we utilize bandwidth?
Back in the 1950's you has cars much less reliable than today, but you did not have bedroom communities two hours away from your workplace. You had smaller houses without air conditioning, but you also had smaller energy bills.

What I'm saying is that the technological advances have a way of changing the playing field, in such a way that they gains are much smaller than one would have thought.
Note also that his emphasis was on legally, not on "owned": It's not legal to buy and sell people, therefore one cannot legally own slaves. The fact that people exchange money for them, and treat them as property, does not make it legal, but their treatment definitely makes it slavery.
Does that imply you can actually use any custom window manager with Gnome 3 these days?
"Interpretations", (such as the Many-worlds interpretation) are just silly ways of thinking about things that make difficult to grasp concepts of reality marketable to the general public.

Other times they are often nothing more than artificial (relative to fundamental reality) products of mathematical complexities, edges, holes, paradoxes, and artifacts... Artifacts that shouldn't seriously be used-on or applied-to anything outside of whatever mathematical framework created them - but often are.
Chromebrew - the package manager for Chromebooks
Not sure what to say to this. First of all, BK had nothing to do with this exploit other than to find it. The article was vague on the details if I remember correctly. We found the problem because the code we wrote to export the BK tree to the CVS tree validated the results. The code managed by BK was fine, the code in the CVS tree had been hacked. It was the validation step that caught it.

The statement "forces that would do evil encourage and exploit situations like the one that occurred with Bitkeeper" just makes no sense (to me at least, if someone else can parse it please share).

The marketing funnel is breaking at the top because you are asking for my email in exchange for a chapter of your book, which is unfair because I don't even know you and all of a sudden you're going to learn a lot about me. Remember Godin's Permission Marketing.

Make the product your hero. Right now it's tucked away at the very bottom behind a paywall (I pay with my email). Let me read your free chapter right away, no string attached. Then you can start selling to me.

Quickest fix though is just to move that 'For a Free Chapter Join our Newsletter' call-to-action to the very top. Check your analytics after that and I bet you conversions will improve drastically.

I would even go so far as to just make the whole page a free chapter and having the newsletter call to action and that's it. You can start selling the book in the newsletter, which is far more likely to drive a sale (engaged prospects) rather than fly-by lurkers.
Shareholder’s Best Interests
Assuming its position distribution in time and space is the same in our future as it is in our past, its destruction would have no impact on space and time, because its past positions would continue to exist into our future.
That solution doesn't work in the general case. Say I have an anti-correlated EPR pair of electrons, such that measuring spin-up for one particle means I will subsequently measure spin-down for the other. Then your solution doesn't work.

Also the EPR paradox applies to quantum states that are not necessarily electrons.

FWIW the EPR paradox is no longer a paradox anyway since you cannot use entanglement to transmit information faster than the speed of light, therefore preserving locality. The reason Einstein et al. termed it a paradox was because they thought it represented some sort of instantaneous information transfer.

Is the source of a quote really relevant though? Unless said source develop the insight in a text (in which case the source should be easy to find, or if it isn't having the name of the source won't help anyway), it does add no value. Of course, it is natural to be curious.
