Isn't the point of Valve's console that they want to get SteamOS out to people to test, not because they actually want to sell it to people? It looks to me like they're shipping with a variety of system configurations (one of them even has an i3 in it, certainly not a hardcore processor) and they're seeing how each of them holds up. They're going to leave it to other companies to actually make some real consoles (they might release their own too, but they're not the only ones who can), and one of those companies certainly could perform the system integration that you'd like to lower the cost.

The point of SteamOS is that it's open, and anyone can make them (and people other than Valve can sell them). If they become insanely popular, I'm sure that someone will jump on integration to sell a cheaper console.
The weak point as usual are the endpoints. The attack vector described in these documents is JavaScript via some library called E4X. Makes me wonder why Tor bundle doesn't come with NoScript enabled by default.
At that price point though it's difficult to see the advantage compared to just buying a Windows PC of equivalent spec which will run more games out of the gate.
An entity representing the state of the created resource does describe the status of the request, though its a particular verbose way of doing it in most cases.

It's potentially, with a large resource, a lot of wasted bits if all the client wants is status confirmation, but, in a strict request/response setup, it saves you a server roundtrip.

In SPDY / HTTP/2.0 it might make sense to send a smaller request that really is just a status response while pushing the actual resource to a client willing to accept it: in cases where the followup action would be to fetch the request, you won't need an extra roundtrip (though you will get a few extra bits of bandwidth for the intermediate response.)
GitHub OAuth changes coming
Does Google sell Android OS and of course any retaliation on HTC by Google would start Anti-trust, as happened in the case of Microsoft
I personally think the author did this because otherwise the DoD would so heavily dwarf everything else that you wouldn't be able to see whats going on. But I agree, intended or not, this has the effect of heavily exaggerating the proportion of people on furlough. Its like using a log scale on a pie chart. It really makes no sense.

The author really should consider this and think hard about what point he is trying to make with that chart on the bottom.
UEFI is actually requirement for WP8.
You should try a lower dose. Most melatonin packaging suggests 3-5 mg (like shampoo instructions that tell you to "rinse and repeat"), but other sources recommend just 0.3 mg for regular use.
How would you say you guys compare to Flickr which offers 1TB? I've tried your service out here and there, but not sure where the value was compared to an iPhoto/Lightroom library in dropbox/gdrive/etc or to flickr's absurd space limit. Since you're here, could you go over how you think you differentiate yourself in the space?
The link has my username, not my email. It contains a period in the middle (again because I was require to used one). I looked up the URI encode for the period and replaced the period in the link in case it wasn't escaped right, but that didn't work for me either.
Non-linear bar graph scales should be a last resort.
Regarding the Terminal application, check the scrollback settings. My colleague wondered why it took 20 seconds to start and ate up 2 gigs of memory... turns out Terminal was storing scrollback all the way back to when he first bought the machine, eating up just a little bit of memory every day as he used it more.
How secure is open source encryption software?
Can you open source a encryption software and not gain vulnerability ? I am curious, if I can see the source code of a encryption application and assuming that this code doesn't using any non-free (non-open source apis) then doesn't that make it easier to attack that software ? I am not taking about how secure open source applications are in general, only about open source ENCRYPTION SOFTWARE.

the coda on WP is not written yet, IPhone 5C gave a massive lease of life by not coming up with a true budget friendly alternative.
Excellent write up, appreciate it!

In your experience, what is the "best" open source alternative to SolidWorks? I'm kind of interested in contributing to a project, but haven't played with them in a while.
It's not attempting to be deceitful. The problem is the DOD has 8x as many employees as the next largest agency. If spaced without a logarithmic scale, the rest of the agencies are so insignificant it doesn't have any effect at all.

To try to avoid the confusion, I'm working on another graph of percentages working for each agency, and a disclaimer about the scaling.
You guys also support PNGs and Everpix does not, critical for syncing iOS screenshots across devices.
Are you claiming that you have analyzed the Model S and found that due to money saved on gas it is financially cheaper than a conventional car over some timescale? If not, then I truly don't know what you're talking about.

I'm really confused by "average, middleish class people who normally would have bought a porsche or a tesla" - is that a typo? Did you mean "would not normally"? If not, your idea of "average middleish class people" is really oddly out of whack.

Many people by homes because of a calculation that owning a home is cheaper in the long run than paying rent over that same period of time. Many people buy homes not based on such a calculation and simply because they have disposable income and owning a home is nice. Many people also buy homes based on neither financial decision-making nor disposable income, and I seem to recall this having some negative impacts on our economy a few years back, which may make it a poor analogy to why it makes sense to buy a Tesla (or a porsche?!) without disposable income.

So? The Nintendo 64 was based on the hardware of a $10,000 Silicon Graphics workstation.

Prototype hardware always costs a gzillion dollars.
The document is dated 20070108, seems they'd be a lot further on with Tor now. Also they mention using AWS to set up Tor nodes.

Was interested in the user profiling to establish from raw network traffic which users are likely using Tor - so for example from this message.

Not sure what QFP is though?
I think if the lawyer then tried to sell off his fee in bitcoins in order to get some real money, he'd crash the market. Especially since you can't use bitcoins to buy drugs anymore.
Well, what you describe is extremely difficult to do, and people have been trying to do with for decades now without success.

It could work if you place yourself into similar conditions over all the videos.
By having a good understanding (precise model) of what you want to recognize, you could make some pattern recognition / object detection to be able to find it in other videos.
But the huge problem in this field is that the conditions keep changing.
Light, luminosity, color, shape, distance. All of the makes pretty much every method of recognition of "it" completely useless.

There is one thing you can currently do though. It is target tracking. Without knowing the target before, and with minimal user interaction to follow it, it is currently possible to track it quite accurately.

Hope this helps.
Melatonin may help to battle cancer along with chemo: http://virtualtrials.com/pdf/williams2013.pdf (Page 46)

My life partner started taking 20mg melatonin per day when she started her chemo and radiation treatment after surgery for grade III anaplastic glioma (fully resected) about year and a half ago. She's taking it ever since. No side effects. It doesn't seem to help her sleep. She always fell asleep easily and slept good.

We decided it should be safe for her as there was a research (can't locate it now) where some women were given 20mg/day dose for, I guess two years or so, in hopes it shows some contraceptive properties. It didn't but no side effects showed up.
Awesome has a builtin window layout that I think you'd like: it has one program take up 80% of the screen in the center, and tiles horizontally the rest behind it. But any WM can do that either by duplicating the layout or, in the case of dynamic window managers, using floating windows.

Your notifications will stay. For widgets, stick it in the menu bars or use conky -- the same options are available.
My wife is a terrible sleeper -- around bed-time she'll suddenly want to do various household chores, vacuum, chat endlessly etc., that combined with irregular and often stressful work, my usually very regular sleep pattern has been totally annihilated over the last 5-10 years.

It also reached the point in the last year that I needed to be at one work site a few days a week, but at 6am, then another site different days at 9am, then work from home the rest of the time which meant trying to "catch up" with a 10-11am wakeup.

I finally broke down and started taking 3 mg of Melatonin, but only if I've had 2 recurring nights if bad sleep. The effect is kind of strange. About 20-30 minutes after taking it, my strongest desire in the world is to want to go to bed, but it doesn't exactly make me "sleepy". After my head hitting my pillow, I'm asleep in about 10 minutes. If I need to, I'll take it multiple days in a row until I feel like my sleep cycle is sorted out, then I stop. I'll also take it if I need to suddenly change my cycle and get up very early the next day or something. Wakefulness comes smoothly and refreshingly, not jarring.

I finally got my wife to start taking it and now all the fuss over getting her to go to sleep has ended completely. As soon as she starts wanting to do things and it's late at night, she pops a Melatonin pill and is asleep inside of 40 minutes.

It's absolutely transformed our sleep/work/live/wake cycles. It feels like I can finally wrestle a bit of control back from an overburdened modern life.

The only problem is that the next day I usually feel very cloudy headed the entire day and have a mild urge to go back to bed until mid-afternoon.
I'm not convinced of that. If you are worried about the tank going "pop", then a mostly empty gas tank would indeed be more dangerous. However I think the more typical concern is the tank being punctured, leaking, then the leaking gas burning rather than exploding.

So basically if you want it to explode hollywood style, then you need gas vapors, but if you want a very bad car fire, then you need lots of gas.
When France lifts the ban on the hijab, we can talk about how non-racist Europe is.

Also, France really needs to stop deporting Romani people.

Frankly, you're amazingly privileged being black in France compared to being an Arab or a Romani.
You're right, we don't have it anywhere anymore. We did have it when we were using another support system that had a built in KB. Sadly that didn't work out for us and I think that article disappeared along with the tool.

I'll put this on my todo list to see if we can get it handled soon.

That said, if you email us support at company url, maybe I can make it up to you in some way or another. Just mention my name and remind me of this discussion.

Ask HN: What Silicon Valley startups accept temporary workers?
Hello HN, I've just graduated from a technologist course from UTFPR (Federal Technological University of Paraná, Brazil), I'll stay in Palo Alto between 09/29 and 12/05. During my stay, I'd love to work at a startup! I want to experience how it works, how problems are solved, learn and have fun. I have some experience with PHP, JavaScript (jQuery) and MySQL, but I'm interested in doing anything a startup need. I'm not focused in getting paid, since learning and helping are my objectives, but anything would be helpful during my stay. Please recommend me startups that have this interest as well. Thanks!
"Goodnight Wesley, I'll probably convict you in the morning."

So the whole extortion / murder-for-hire angle is interesting. I'm wondering how they jump over the reasonable doubt hurdle with anonymous accounts. That said, someone got access to the 26K+ bitcoins that SR "had" so if nothing else the cops seized and shut down the correct hardware.

I'm not sure how to feel about Ross, idealistic dreamer or drug dealer in idealism cover story? Or random guy who got stuck with the bust because some third party was doing all of their dirty work through his compromised laptop? Between Ulbrich and Snowden a lot of the "impact" of the Internet is going from the hypothetical to the actual.
I agree with winslow that the main initial attraction is the novelty of the genre. I got into League of Legends a few years ago before DOTA2 was announced, and I find that it's a bit more beginner-friendly and balanced than DOTA. (DOTA fan counter-point: League of Legends is overly simplistic and pay-to-play.)

Coincidentally, the League of Legends world championship final is occurring tonight. Anything you learn about the genre or strategy will apply somewhat to any game in the MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) genre, so check it out if you're interested in learning more. Riot Games has hired an entire team of casters and analysts, and I find the commentary to be mostly insightful and enjoyable compared to American sportscasters.

To bring this on-topic: I wonder whether Valve will allow non-Steam games to run on SteamOS. League of Legends is directly competitive with Valve's own DOTA2, but Valve has historically allowed you to use Steam purely as a launcher. My biggest fear is that this is yet another walled garden, just one that has embraced its digital nature sooner and better.

Hmm, I wonder if a "scrape along something very hard" type of accident could cause the failure of enough cells to cross the firewalls into the other cells...
It baffles me that the Post and Guardian decided to release this on a Friday.
I've always wondered why girls like me so much. Now I know it's because I read so much, and not for my $250,000 car, and $10,000 watch.

PS: Just kidding. But for better social skills, there's no way to do that other than ... go out often and talk with people. There's no amount of reading or intellectual short-cut to it. You can even go to a well established men's forum like pua-zone (It says "PUA" as in Pick-up Artist, but it's way, way more than that).
Maybe people aren't voting for it
Re: 3, have you actually used other government sites? Particularly for tax returns, which approximately the same percentage of people have legally been required to file for decades?

Not saying it's great, but when compared to tax returns and particularly other health insurance sites, its usability is downright fantastic.
As someone with no mouse, I agree that the mouse is a great thing. My RSI is aggravated severely by mouse usage, so I stick to the keyboard. For me, a fully-keyboard-controllable WM is essential to my career. The many programs and sites that require a mouse make my life difficult. Much of the modern computing world assumes a mouse is present. Still, even I admit the mouse is awesome. It is especially great for selecting text. It can be done on a keyboard usually, but it is not always as easy. It is nice to have options, whether to accommodate physical restrictions or just personal preference.

Alleged crime. I thought the US had some presumption of innocence or something.
I run into this phenomenon often when posting on SO.

I don't believe there is any law that says they can't make anything other than a database. Perhaps they have plans to expand to other areas. Without seeing their finances, and knowing their future plans and the capabilities of the company as a whole, perhaps your judging the book by its cover :)
"they have a brand new expensive car"

A good point. It would be interesting to compare the miles drive on "brand new expensive cars" not just all cars which include obviously older and/or poorly maintained vehicles.
Very nice, good job!

that looks incredibly awkward to use.
To clarify: Jason is stepping down into a CTO role.

This makes sense. Like he said in the post, as a company grows, the CEO role tends to shrink farther and farther from the technical nitty-gritty.
Metrics are cool and all, but this glosses over the really important story here, which unfortunately seems to elude much of the general public: that a small minority of republicans are subverting the budget process because they don't like a law. They cannot be allowed to do this. I can only assume the rest of the RNC is going along with it because they are stupid or cowards.

> The page is as much about marketing (maybe more) as it is about safety or the incident.

What does that mean? Taking a common definition of "marketing" to be "expressing the value of a product to potential customers," any article that is about safety or about a recent product incident is also marketing. It sounds like you're using "marketing" as an ill-defined term that basically just means "something bad about the way a company publishes information."
not necessarily, but preferably
I'm afraid I haven't found any of them to be good in terms of actually offering similar functionality, but I haven't looked all that seriously.

To me, the key features that make SolidWorks (and Autodesk Inventor) stand out is the use of constraint driven assembly creation. Everything else seems to me to mostly be possible to work around. SolidWorks and Inventor have many, many added nice features like integration with CAM software, ability to assign materials from a database, ability to add things like fasteners and so on. It's a big list, and why people pay so much for it.

But if all you had was the ability to make sketches (using constraints and dimensions) combined with simple feature creation (linear and rotated extrusions, sweeps, and linear/circular/mirror patterns) to make individual parts, along with the ability to assemble parts using constraint driven logic it would be good enough for 90% of what I do as a non-professional mechanical designer.

If anyone knows of such a thing I'd also be interested in trying it... but I have not encountered such a thing yet.
Hopefully it's a big advance over most of what's out there. Thermal design on the PC-assembled-from-standard-parts seems to often leave a lot to be desired. Folks like Dell or HP do a little better in their 'workstation' lines, but aside from that, desktop PC thermal design tends to be ignorant of the assembled system as a whole. On top of it, nobody seems to understand that these things should have removable and washable dust filters. It's unrealistic to expect the average user to keep it in a low-dust environment and it's even more unrealistic to expect them to open it up and clean the dust out.
>> The 55 miles from Campbell to San Francisco make for one of the nicest commutes anywhere. The journey mostly zips along the Junipero Serra Freeway, a grand and remarkably empty highway that abuts the east side of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

While scenic, the 280 is certainly not 'remarkably empty'. I make the commute from San Jose to SF everyday and wish I shared the enthusiasm of the author.
Apologies for commenting on something completely orthogonal to the point of the OP.
SR was just the most popular marketplace, not the only one.
You are woefully mistaken. Shutting down the Silk Road did not shut down all online drug exchange via bitcoins nor Mt. Gox.

The demand is still there and as quickly as SR goes down, many more will pop up to take their place.

Also selling 20k bitcoins over a multi week period would prevent any spike or crash in price. That's a tiny fraction of the daily coins traded.
Why would that be relevant? Anyone who buys a Tesla Model S will instantly be in the category of "people who buy brand new expensive cars," so the Model S stats are sufficient.
Unless I'm mistaken, WP8 phones have UEFI Secure Boot too, and it can't be turned off like on desktop systems.

So now that Microsoft wants more market share, suddenly dual-booting phones is okay, but I doubt they'll lift the secure boot restriction on their own devices.
I work in technology and would be considered by some (not myself) a Linux expert. I am most certainly not upper class, but I am by no means lower class. I have several friends who also work in tech in similar roles for financial companies (like myself). One of them drives a BMV M5, one of them drives a used porsche 911 turbo. It isn't that a porsche or bmw is more or less expensive. It is something that they save up to buy for themselves. A normal car or a tesla both solve my needs, but a tesla is sure as hell a lot cooler for the sheer amount of tech and engineering. I don't really see where you think I claimed to see any money would be saved by a model S. I never alluded to anything of the sort. But I think this is OT and isn't really productive. Lets focus on tech here at HN and leave the flames for /., where they belong.
> I would only point that 25 tons of force, isn't really a lot - I mean, the small jack that you use to lift your car can be a 5 or 6 ton device.

Floor jacks easily punch through most points on modern cars. In fact, the only place that it is safe to jack up your car are special jack points which are reenforced to bear the load of the jack. The center ones on my car are pretty annoying to get to. Also, your estimate for the ratings of jacks is off by a factor of x2 to x4. Floor jacks, which have a leaver and a hydraulic component, are typically only rated for 2 to 3 tons. Scissor jacks, a manual jack that comes with your spare tire, are typically only rated at 1.5 tons or less.

How is saying that it would be worse with a gas vehicle an excuse? The point seems very relevant, since the primary differentiator of Tesla cars is that they are electric.
