I don't think you need a filesystem of partition table to put data on a block device.

I think you need a filesystem if you are in the world of Bruce Schneier's article, using Windows on both sides, writing at the level where "don't connect your air-gap computer to the internet" is worth saying.

Of course you can C-x M-c M-butterfly[1] this scenario, increasing impracticality more than security at every step, as far as you find enjoyable.

If you don't have some toolset around managing your servers and have to resort to memorizing hostnames, being able to remember hostnames is the least of your problems.
Half Life 3, Linux only...
Related, Samsung announced that they will be enabling ANT± on all their S4 phones, and apparently the S3 hardware can be enabled too(!)

That's big news for anyone doing connected devices.
There's no such rule. Virtually every internet gateway and mobile payment app lets you key in card numbers to make a charge. There is no encryption in your computer's keyboard. The first versions of the headphone jack swipers for phones (i.e. Square) didn't have any kind of encryption either.
In my experience Outlook Web Access is so good by comparison that once my former employer upgraded to a recent version, I never used the desktop version of Outlook ever again. For one thing, OWA never had this ridiculous problem of corrupting its OST and PST files every few weeks.

Ask HN: Are there any non-email spam/bot detection SAAS providers for websites?
I've come across umpteen homegrown implementations to detect spam comments/signups ranging from point thresholds, cookie checking, javascript injection, css hiding, timeouts...

Also, people are paid to solve captchas.

Then you have the problem of abusive bots which can be resolved by honeypots & fail2ban, but you have to make sure your logs are aggregated, communicate the firewall rules to your web proxy and then be careful of blocking search engines.

You can also integrate spam blacklists and keep them up to date.

If there aren't any existing providers I'm starting to wonder if there would be an opportunity to create a saas offering which:

* allows developers to integrate simply by plugging into popular web frameworks, protecting not only comments but user/beta signups, etc.

* automatically uses all the best methods for stopping spam & bot abuse, both client and server side, automatically improving its own algorithms

* maintains and automatically distributes a central, real time blacklist database

* provides a great interface for monitoring/reporting and to easily blacklist or whitelist

ps. I had the unfortunate experience of having my submission link timeout as I wrote this submission :)
Wow. This is entirely incorrect on a simple, factual level.

I think your hicks comment is unnecessary and incorrect, but otherwise, this is a good point.
You see a massive spike in entrepreneurs by age group at the medicaid eligibility line.

I think I'd be open to a subscription that gave me a selection of new games every month. The other thing I like and do often is buy games on sale on iOS which doesn't happen as much (and especially 'free this weekend' kind of stuff) on Play.

Edit: I'd also be super, super open to a weekly or twice monthly humble bundle style thing for Android.
We also use Asana and Kanban. However we have a simplified use in Asana. I've found that you have too many projects and places where to look.

We have one project called Kanban board, with all the features for web, iPhone and Android app (8 people use it). This board has several headers:

* To Production
-> All tasks that are ready to be deployed

* To Test - Second test (5)
-> All tasks that have to be tested a second time

* To Test - First test (15)
-> All tasks that need to be tested

* Development - Finished (10)
-> All tasks that have been comitted, but haven't been deployed to the alpha sever/app.

* Development - Working (7)
-> All tasks that developers/designers are working on.

* Pending - Bugs
-> All tasks that need to be fixed.

* Pending - Analysis
-> All tasks that need to be analyzed (improve description, break them into subtasks)

* Pending - New (20)
-> All tasks that need to be done

* Backlog
-> All future tasks / features / suggestions

We use projects to indicate if the task is for web, iPhone or Android; and tags if it's urgent.

There can not be more tasks that the number between parenthesis. If there are 12 in Finished for example, we know we have to deploy to the alpha server/app.
As a general rule, it's important to remember that Linux is an OS made by amateurs and hobbyists. If a 5-year old kid shows you a drawing, you would say it's great, while it's actually piece of shit. Same mentality should be applied when reviewing Linux distros.

Skiena's Algorithm Design Manual and Kleinberg and Tardos' Algorithm Design are both very nice books. CLRS is very nice, and depending on your personal ethics the Solutions manual for the 2nd edition is pretty easily obtainable online, which might be useful for that despicable and highly discouraged activity known as self-study. Sedgwick's stuff is not bad.

I used Aho, Hopcroft, and Ullman's two Algorithms books in class. They are old but extremely good. If you want to buy dead tree books they're available used for a very low price.

Hope that helps.
I've been naming mine after Asimov's Foundation Universe planets. Solaria, Trantor etc.
Author here: I agree Kanban boards have benefits. I've helped other people implement the system I described in Trello as well.

Personally, I think it's harder to get an overview of what's going on in Trello - especially on a small screen. I also think it's too complicated to move things around in Trello, and that the structure doesn't lend itself well to things that are not processes/pipelines.

In the end, the tool is just there to support the principles/processes that are there to support the people. Hope you got something out of the article that you can use in your tool of choice!

Ask HN: Do you bookmark or collect content?
I'm working on an app that's essentially a tool for bookmarking content. We only have a small user base and to take the app where I wanted to go I need to do a lot of work re-writing it. Before I invest more time I wanted to get some ideas of how many people use bookmarks in any form and how.

So what apps/tools/process do you use for bookmarking content and what would you improve ?

If you don't bookmark why not ? Is it a lack of good tools or you just don't have any desire to ?
Living in Argentina is quite cheap too if you are from North America or Europe, the currency is devaluating so hard dollar is actually 10 to 1, meaning you can rent a nice place for $200 (no pool just a normal appartment), good thing is though, there are no prostitutes and such, and you wont get charged so much for beeing foreigner, Argentina is full of europeans forgeigners so nobody can really say if you are from Argentina or not unless you are asian or black, and even so, people just dont care.

Now dont go to the north though, I'm talkign south of Buenos Aires and below that is a whole different story xD
Vietnam and cambodia are just shit compared to thai.

"Not quite. I didn’t actually write 1,000 words every single day. My system was a bit more relaxed."
Yes, I do, in my browser bookmarks... but I never come back. I just hoard bookmarks and then sweep and prune whole folders from time to time.

The amount of information I'm interested in is such that the time needed to understand it is >>>> my lifetime.

Unfortunately a tool won't help.
Cultural isolation defines me as a person. So no problems there. How did you like Ukraine? Where were you based? Was it cheap and comparable to Thailand for a place to bootstrap in?
Beautiful Web Type
Thanks for sharing your structure!

My feeling is that it's maybe more important which states and principles one has and that everyone understands them than whether they reside in one or four projects. Personally, I think it's a bit easier to focus if I only have to look at the stuff that is relevant at the moment, but I see where you're coming from.

How did you chose the number of slots: 5, 15, 10, 7 and 20?

This neurotic guy Assange and his bunch aren't about freedom of information. They are all about pushing their own agenda to cause as much damage to the US as they can. Otherwise, how can you explain that Assange had TV show on Russia Today sponsored by Russian regime, which is well known for suppression of journalists they don't like.
That's a very interesting perspective are you mainly using bookmarks for very important content? Do you ever just want somewhere to put stuff temporarily as you're browsing?
Just so you kids in SF know, the car rental situation at LAX is head and shoulders better than at SFO.

At SFO I rode the train out, once stood in line for 45 minutes to get a car, went down and found the car in the space wasn't the car I was supposed to get (and the key didn't work), waited in line another 45 minutes, then got in the car to find out that it wanted an oil change, got a cell phone call from the police because my wife (who threw up twice on the plane) didn't know what happened to me, and then I remembered that I forgot to get a child seat in all the confusion for my two year old.

I drove the car perhaps 1000 miles in the next week, down to San Luis Obispo and out to the Sierra Nevada and around the Central Coast region. I never changed the oil (I was too traumatized to want to call Hertz.) This is why you don't want to buy a used rental car. On the way back we had some trouble with the brakes but we got back alive.

At LAX on the other hand, I got a ride on a shuttle bus to Hertz, spent about 5 minutes in line and drove out with a decent car.

(The mistake we made there was thinking we could drive north on the 405 at 5pm on a Friday, I really should have driven up La Cienga, but I can't blame Hertz for that.)

I made Panda in Chiang Mai at the co-working office space, Punspace. I too have bootstrapped my business while working here on the cheap. Since I was on a budget I was living off of $600US a month, I authored the book "12 Weeks in Thailand" base on how I quit my job, moved to Thailand to live on the cheap.

Now that my business is successful, my budget is closer to $1,500 a month and I'm living a great life in Thailand. I have some video tours of life in Thailand at http://www.JohnnyFD.com - my blog
A well-known compute cluster at Berkeley created hostnames after types of disasters:

-tsunami
-apocalypse
-famine
-avalanche
-hailstorm
-lightning
-heatwave
-locusts
-tornado
-fallingrocks (<-- my favorite)

Interestingly, though run on a shoestring, this proved to be one of the most reliable set of servers on campus. I guess the disaster naming was a sort of a reverse jinx.
This is a good idea.

I recommend using https://750words.com/

OK, out of curiosity, I actually went ahead and read http://www.groklaw.net/pdf2/MSvB&Nanswer.pdf, specifically the parts where they address the patents being asserted.

Now, I'm usually used to reading office actions or reexamination-related documents, whereas this is a response to a lawsuit, so things may be different...

But I gotta say, wow, this looks really weak to me. Let me explain why.

Here's what I usually see when I see prior art presented against a patent: The argument first quotes the claim in question, and for each element in the claim, it cites one or more pieces of prior art, and then they quote (or at least identify via line numbers etc.) the relevant sections of the prior art reference and argue why it invalidates the claim or claim element.

The B&N document mostly just says, "Pfft, this patent covers nothing more than X, and X was already being done in 2000" without any reference to back it up. In only a few places do they cite actual prior art references, but again, they just throw the reference out there without any explanation as to why or how it is pertinent.

Again, like I said, this is not an office action but an answer to a complaint, and detailed arguments may not be part of these. It'd be great if a patent lawyer could weigh in.

I can't see any negative here. Nobody's complaining that private security firms exist. They're already used by rich people and businesses anyway. How is a group of residents in a suburb different from a group of residents in an apartment block or workers in a company? Next, the internet commenters will be telling us we aren't allowed to buy a computer because it disenfranchises the poor who go without.

I used to live in a low-middle class neighborhood with a group of volunteer security guards. They'd drive around at night looking out for burglaries. Is that wrong?
In your first comment you implied that it was a problem with PHP. I told you they are doing it on purpose, and not because their code or language is bad, and you now agreed. So I don't know where you are trying to get with this discussion. They have to choose between maximum performance and perfect consistency. They can't have both. So what they are doing is saving money in infrastructure, and letting some messages get lost from time to time. Your family being a little annoyed made them money.

Also, when we say "important" in this context, is almost like asking "are you willing to pay for it?". Most people wouldn't pay a dime for ensuring the consistency of all their Facebook messages. So Facebook chose the right option.

>Pharmaceutical companies make methamphetamine too, and their production processes are well-regulated, produce drugs without hazardous adulterants, and do not put children in danger.

Also, one of the reasons that making meth (and several other drugs) illegally is so dangerous and error prone is that all of the easy precursors are carefully regulated and tracked by the government.

It's kind of like how outlawing abortion wouldn't actually stop people from getting abortions; it would just make them way more dangerous.

I wouldn't be surprised if the regulations exist but aren't enforced. What these workers need is power to enforce the laws... and in the absence of adequate laws, to marshal enough popular force to create agreements that are better than what laws might exist.

As first-worlders, it's our moral duty to support people who work to help create that power for the factory workers.
I meant MGS 4. Somehow I left out the 4.
Capitalism is a system which aligns incentives so, if people want to get rich, they will do so in a way which also helps other people. Competition in the free market should drives prices down, which is equivalent to spreading profits among all the customers. (Of course, this only applies when the free market works well, which often requires regulation and pesky things like human rights). Capitalism is a system which works very well, and it takes a distorted view of the world to see this as 'two wrongs make a right'.

To be clear: there are many businessmen who are greedy selfish exploiters. However, the purpose of capitalism is to take these natural human tendencies and make them into a force for good.

You could say the same thing about democracy. It's a game whereby people can seek power and influence without having to kill each other or their subjects. If you doubt that democracy is an effective solution, just read up about all the Wars of Succession that Europe has witnessed when those countries were monarchies. Elections are practically love-fests in comparison.

Observing that it's a race problem isn't "making it into a race problem".
My advice to you would be to improve (or acquire) your software engineering skills through practice, by doing real life projects. What I mean by that is pick an idea/project that excites you (e.g. An interactive website for non-philosophy majors to get a high level overview of philosophy) and do it (I know, "just do it" by itself it not so helpful).

Along the way, you'll probably hit many roadblocks (e.g. ruby? php? html? ftp? git? heroku? aws?) but overcoming them through research, trial and error will teach you a lot about software engineering and you'll come out of the experience more educated. There's also an added benefit of building up a portfolio that shows you care more about solving problems (remember, we started from an idea) than a specific set of technologies (only a tool to execute on said idea).

When you think you're "good enough" to provide value to a company, I would start applying to job openings in parallel. Good luck! I'm actually a mechanical engineer by education, but transitioned to software after graduating using the method described above.

Those statistics are pretty useless because you set what platform your contribution goes towards. You could pay 1$ on Linux and set it as Windows.

I think it's much of a muchness. I've had some pretty crappy experiences at LAX and SFO, and some good ones too. I've had some long waits at both, I think it really depends when you're arriving and what flights got in the same time as you.

BTW, tip for Hertz next time you're in SFO: if you're a gold member (which is free) you can bypass the counters, and just go straight to the car.
I was hoping to see more discussion on this point.

Are there other cases where subpoenas have been issued for tools that enable the gathering of evidence? Has that sort of thing always required a warrant?

Is it moot that a warrant was eventually issued? Or was the warrant only issued punitively because Lavabit didn't comply with the subpoena without regard to the validity of the subpoena in the first place?

Actually, most big law firms do not use the built in track changes function in Word, they use more specialized (and in my experience, better performing) software that take a "before" and "after" Word file and then generate a nice "redlined" version showing insertions, deletions, moves, etc. in different colors. Examples include Workshare DeltaView and Litera Change Pro.
