Five Challenges to Using Your Genome
It's all a big game, it's silly. Much like how Bitcoin currency will fluctuate - and much how it will be gamed by those who have the ability to influence large markets and opinion on things (whether from people not being educated, or reacting emotionally).

>In any given sting operation, the John gets arrested, bt there was never any prostitute. //

I see where you're coming from however it is "soliciting" which is the crime and the perp commits that crime against someone - they just happen not to be a prostitute. At least that's how it plays out in the media.

With the [attempted] assassination of an individual you can't have a sting because the main conspirator targets a specific individual [but you can have a sting on a conspiracy charge, so I see how it applies]. It's not like they find their target's not there and decide to just kill a random person. They are only ever concerned with killing a specific person. Now if that specific person doesn't exist then there can't be a killing.

With the bomb plot, drug deal, prostitution, child abuser the targets are generalised. The particular nature of the stooge isn't important to the potential perpetrator.

If I tell you there's a bank in my town, then we plan a heist, then it turns out that there's no bank. What crime have you committed?

[I'm not totally sold on this line I'm presenting incidentally - but thanks for the response anyhow.]
"Two years ago, battery fires broke out in three Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid cars after crash-testing."

"After" being the operative word. They crashed the Volts for testing purposes and then left them sitting outside with a nearly full but damaged battery. THREE WEEKS LATER a fire started.

When testing gasoline powered cars it is standard procedure to empty the tank immediately after crashing it, if they had drained or removed the Volts' batteries in a similar fashion nothing would have happened.

> The author doesn't have a leg to stand on. Say,...I kept a safe in my office

The guy writes: "I was an independent contractor. No employer-employee relationship existed. Federal labor laws afforded me the right to choose when to work, where to work, how to work and what work I was to produce. There were no other work-for-hire contracts or specific performance contracts signed and I did not sign any NDA."

To carry forward with your "safe" analogy: Suppose a plumber came to your house. When he leaves, you demand to search the toolbox he brought to your house. Who's in the right here?
It's kind of like paying a fine in pennies.

"Never knew this was a clause...glad he pushed for this."

You are right in the way you phrased this "glad he pushed for this".

But I think in reading all the other comments here there is an assumption that Mark should get the lions share of the credit for this event.

But Mark didn't say he was the only one who pushed for it.

He said (from the tweet that the story is based on)

"I told them I wouldn't come back this season if it wasn't (removed)".

We have no idea if this was also the bargaining position of any or all of the other sharks as well (nobody has asked them) or if the production company had already decided to do that.

It's great that Mark has done this but I think w/o knowing about the others at this point he may be getting more credit than he deserves (or, maybe not! We just don't know).
The video looks more like a parody than a serious video...

Yes, we still have a higher bar for single founders, because it will be harder for them.
First, sounds like you're solving a major problem that most people have - sweet!

However, this is my constructive negative feedback - I don't think it will work because of this one piece here:

Pause if you know you'll have less money this week, deposit a bulk amount if you'll have more, even let friends and family deposit.

I tried doing this in a rather "manual" fashion by setting up a recurring monthly deposit into ISAs. The reality is - the freedom to turn it off is a huge anti-pattern to saving money. You need to make it very difficult to have the user turn off their dripfeed. Perhaps they have to make a call, or maybe they get penalized? Either way - I see this as your most important "anti-feature".

I would also question the commercial model of this - you're going to take a cut as well as GoCardless. It'll be interesting to see if people are willing to pay for that. However, what would be interesting (potentially) is to have a model (similar to financing) where the actual item is purchased through your platform. This will get complicated, but maybe there is a way to undercut the traditional micro-financing models that exist today?
Yes, but it seems that that may have the same issues themselves. Li-ion batteries are notorious for catching on fire. Yes, the sample size is too small to make a determination on Tesla but I suspect they may run into the same issues as Boeing as they sell more cars.
Edevdb.com is launching soon
WE'RE COMING SOON
We are working very hard on the new version of our site. It will bring a lot of new features. Stay tuned!
A couple thoughts:

iOS updates are limited by device. I forget the details but that 4S doesnt have all the functionality of that 5S. You need a minimal level phone for things like Siri and other features they never bothered backporting or couldn't due to hardware limitations.

Google OS updates are almost academic at this point. Google deploys a play store service which is a root-level middle man between your phone and various google services and apps. Google updates this themselves. Google apps are not tied to the OS, like Apple's apps are. Someone with a phone on 4.1 can get the same version of Maps that I do on 4.3. Heck, you can be on gingerbread and use all the same apps practically. Google has a huge incentive to keep gingerbread level OS phones up to date with its latest apps because so many are still in circulation.

Lastly, custom firmwares like CyoagenMod deliver up to date versions of android for many phones. So, no, its not so cut and dry. Also, if you really want an iphone, then go buy one. You'll get an easier update process but have to deal with all its limitations.

Its also worth mentioning that the galaxy nexus is a phone from 2011 that just got the newest version of android and is still a pretty beefy phone. No idea if its getting the next version officially, but it will be trivial to put a 3rd party firmware on there if not. Android has always had a phone that's updated for 2 years: the Nexus line. The only exception is the custom Nexus non-GSM nexus Sprint/Verizon sold for a short time. Google no longer sells phones like these and the Nexus is strictly GSM now as it was before.
It may very well have its applications but voice would be a better interaction than swinging the finger in the air to get the word.
There's also the police, whose job it is to investigate crime...
Hmm, I'll take a look into that, it may just be the webfont I'm using rendering strangely. Perhaps it's time I sign up for TypeKit
Sorry, didn't mean to be so myopic and iritating.

To answer your question, I think the same people voted for the French governement as the ones who are daily clicking on Amazon quite happily.

Do you think they are mistaking forests for trees when clicking on Amazon, but expressing great wisdom when voting?

Do you think that when the politicians voted on this particular law, they were thinking of the people or the business interests that fund them?
Does this pay no interest?
That's expensive.
"Is it compatible with my project?

Yes, it is. As long as you do things right on your app, (...)"

um, so that's probably a no. I prefer technical description of a product than marketing nonsense. Also, I'm not going to watch your marketing video to find out what it is.
> Given the number of gas cars on the road

On the other hand, gas power cars have been on the road for a century now, manufacturers have had time to improve safety based, on accidents. Electric car manufacturer can improve from what is right now an excellent record (no explosion).

Let's also not forget that there are more than just Tesla cars out there with the bottom full of batteries: Toyota, Honda and GMC hybrid cars are in the same situation, so the sample isn't as small as you make it sound.
Good point, I went into building it with total ease of use in mind, maybe I should build a 'protect me from myself' feature into the settings :P
Doesn't matter. A few wrong characters can easily be brute-forced. Once you have enough of the characters, you can just write a program to try modifying a few of them until you get a key that works.
Exactly my thoughts. I use OSX alot for different reasons but i still think i am more productive on Windows/Linux. Keyboard shortcuts and behaviour is consistent as opposed to OSX where its kind of a pain.

I also dont like the dock, i like to have a taskbar with the open windows on each of my monitors which is no problem in Windows and Linux. I dont like the Menubar stuck on the main monitor.

As a web developer i really like the unix base of OSX for different reaons though and i need to use some software for game dev (Unity3D) which isnt available on Linux.

But i thought about running Windows for game dev/office stuff and Linux in a VM for web development.
I thought the clause was a good way to charge for the free marketing they're giving companies. Maybe it was too high, but most couldn't afford the cash.

Perhaps the reason he was able to convince them to do it retroactively is the companies weren't worth much. Watching a company worth 100K for your 5% stake just isn't worth the time and effort.
EDIT: somehow I ended up in the wrong HN topic so my comment was not directly related to this topic. I have not read the press release from Lavabit that this topic links to. My bad.

Absolutely! Rails is written in Ruby and is run by the Ruby interpreter. No doubt about it. But if you dig in you find that pretty much every Ruby class (including the low-level ones) has been modified for use in Rails. In addition, a lot of Rails code is written in a purpose-built DSL. Rails has built-in DSLs for web routing, email sending/receiving, database queries, &c. You can split hairs and say that these are APIs and not real DSLs, but I think the point about dynamic languages blurring the lines is totally fair. You could implement the core Java spec in Ruby by modifying the base classes, and at some point you aren't writing Ruby any more.
The blog (http://blog.dripfeed.co/) is looking a bit forlorn (full of Lorem Ipsum at the moment).

Krita runs fine on other Linux/Unix desktop environments and also on Windows; this is just a baseless comment.
Right now, no. I know that sucks, but we're looking into ways to leverage savings to earn more interest than a bank would typically give you for a small, short-term goal. Part of the reason I started working on Dripfeed was because my interest rate went down to about 0.08%, which is effectively nothing on say a £500 phone.
A bit offtopic... but I was wondering if someone knows why that link says that is Palestinian founded and yet the link to an article of Times of Israel that says is from Israel. Not that it matters but I am confused.
>> Is there anything stopping her from just lending her Kindle?

Yes, a kindle is an expensive electronic device. The books are lent without any real expectation of getting them back, certainly without time limit. She receives from others, some books are returned, some passed on.

To effectively mimic that social pattern you would need one kindle per book, massively expensive (ebooks are seldom cheaper and the you have the device on top), environmentally unsound and just a really bad idea.

Right now, yes I'm afraid! But never fear, we're rolling out to the US and other markets as fast as we possibly can
The initial order was for the installation of a "pen-trap" to collect metadata on one account. According to the document, this is typically implemented by the provider without installing any FBI hardware.

From page 104 of http://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/801182/redacted-pleadi...:

"In this case, the SSL keys are 'information ... necessary to accomplish the installation and use of the [pen-trap]' because all other options for installing the pen-trap have failed. In a typical case, a provider is capable of implementing a pen-trap by using its own software or device, or by using a technical solution provided by the investigating agency; when such a solution is possible, a provider need not disclose its key."

Because he offered to do it at the police department? I doubt that he would be left alone with the computer.
You cannot just buy your way out of a theft charge. If that were the case, can you imagine how thefts would skyrocket? Steal as much as you want, and when someone catches you, give back the specific item(s) they're missing and keep the rest!

Of course, a private accusation of theft is not an official charge of theft, or a prosecution, or a conviction for it. If a private individual comes to you and accuses you of taking something that belongs to them, and you return it, that ought to be the end of it, unless the victim is really honked off and insists on involving the police. Once the Boys in Blue are involved, it becomes much more difficult to resolve the situation extra-judicially.
That's the whole point of free markets and competition. The point isn't that they're good for companies, it's that they are good for consumers.

I think I read somewhere that it was a feature of HN to remove article from the front page when those kind of things happen. (take that with a grain of salt)
Not all cops let things slide. Some see it as a job, some get a power trip, and others take pride in their work.

I've posted this before on HN, but will quickly cover it again; A few years ago, my wife was at school and (completely her own fault) left her purse in the class during lunch (this is a medical career school and the class had about 8 students). That night we received a call from Chase asking about a string of purchase attempts using one of her cards - which she then realized was missing. Based on the list of places the card was used, we went to the stores the following day explaining what happened. Once we had done the leg work, confirmed that they would have video surveillance during the time the card was used, we called the police. The officers that showed up went to great lengths to file the report, work with GameStop, Target and Stop&Shop security personnel to not only get us to identify the person, but get video evidence of the crimes at each location. In the end, the classmate who stole the card was prosecuted and served jail time in two separate counties as well as payment of damages (small, but still) for the attempted use of the card which got her nothing in the end. Coincidently, the detective on the case also saw that the girls mom had a warrant out for her arrest so they picked her up as well.

The experience was very positive from our side of things - and perhaps it's not the common experience people hear about, but these officers were very happy to help. As a side note, the county that these officers were in was not a small, nor "safe" county and it wasn't a matter of them not having anything else to do at the time.

All that being said, the original advice of not talking, and knowing your rights should definitely be adhered to if you are on the other side of things. The way everything was used to aide us, can also be used against you. Not all police will treat you the same.
You shouldn't solicit interaction with the police either, unless it's an absolute emergency life-or-death situation. In all other cases, the best outcome of an interaction with the police is that nothing happens. There is a misconception that they're on your side as long as you've done nothing wrong, or as long as you have a reasonable complaint, but they are simply not.

Their job is to get people in front of a judge, to make them pay fines, or to get them into prison. All things being equal, they'll be working with the closest target they can see and that's you if you solicit them. They basically behave like predators.
You're thinking of Pivotal Labs.
Interesting - it looks like Python is the dog to beat--which actually surprises me - especially that it beats PHP and php is on a downward trend. AS much buzz as Ruby on Rails gets, I'd think it would be going up and up. Personally I like them all -- I use them all -well not so much Django(yet) but will in the near future. I like to rotate frameworks when building stuff, it gives me more experience and it doesn't hurt to be well rounded. Currently though I'm using Laravel and it's the ONLY thing keeping me in the php world.
Assuming that the normal rate of battery fires after collisions is one per million, the probability of observing such a fire after only 13 collisions is rather low. (Not impossible, just unlikely.) so perhaps the rate is not one per million. Doesn't mean it's one in thirteen, just not one in a million.

Thanks for your great feedback. We wanted to build a framework which can be easily extendable by adding custom commands. This is just the beginning, we will soon roll out more tools which will help integrate tightly with your server and applications.

We plan to integrate monitoring and many other related features after analyzing how the users are using our system. Regarding monitoring network layer, you can always write your own bash which records network activity. Interesting thoughts, we have added them in our pipeline.

We are @SeaLionTeam on twitter, we would love further inputs from you
LLVM understands this issue. That is why they have "regular" instruction selection passes and "fast" instruction selection passes. The JIT uses FastISel. But you are definitely right, it is not anywhere near as lightweight compared to, say, Hotspot.

Intel Galileo: "Pentium class" 32 bit Quark SoC X1000 with an Arduino header. November 29th.

TI Arduino TRE: 1-GHz Sitara AM335x processor plus an AVR processor for the Arduino side. Includes the Arduino sockets and it looks like an X-Bee socket. This looks like a Beaglebone combined with an Arduino. Ships sometime in Spring of 2014.

Of the two I find the TRE more interesting. Precise control of pins is difficult in Linux where you could be preempted and holding the CPU and counting cycles is frowned upon.

BTW: If anyone invents a time machine, please go back and get the original Arduino header alignment fixed.
