Both you and hacker news would be better off if you read this article and then commented to the parent with your rebuttal rather than what you think is a witty one liner with no substance.

The website includes the plans with the subsidies, which is why they require you to sign up and answer a bunch of questions. I believe there's a lot of verification of subsidy eligibility going on in the background. Just having the rates out there would make it appear that the plans are much more expensive than they will be for most people.
Moving a smoke alarm in my house would require re-wiring. Their primary power is wired, and they are all interconnected (one triggered detector will sound all the alarms).

Making an uncrackable service isn't hard, Lavabit did this. The hard part is when the NSA or any other such agency makes demands, set's NSL's and such....
While I agree with the sentiment, I think bundling developer tools is fine. The other browsers, which are generally leaner than Firefox, include them.

The grey area with online poker is because it isn't explicitly made illegal in the wire act (online sports betting is explicitly illegal), but the UIGEA legislates against games of chance which there are arguments that poker is not such a game but it hasn't been tried in court. Many sites used that argument to offer online poker to US residents and had their domains and bank accounts seized, Pokerstars settled for over 700mm and bought Full Tilt Poker in the process. The US govt doesnt care where you are based if you are violating US law and attracting US customers.

It's a shame US tank designers also use DU tank armor to protect soldiers. They're actually killing them with the radiation!
That was the basis of these thoughts, except for the fact that in that episode they would calculate the casualties and vaporize them; my idea is based on the pure transfer of 'wealth' that would have occurred through the destruction and re-allocation of the 'resources' from the 'loser' to the 'winner'. No actual death need occur directly due to violence but only through purely economic and financial means (job loss, starvation), similar to what has already happened after the last 'Financial Crisis' in developing countries.

Exactly, or even just issue a yearly book containing the entire mapping. That would save printing since most people probably don't currently care about the expanded form, though in the future they would still be able to look it up in the library system. (They could also start doing this now, while they can't just retroactively add the expanded forms to editions they have already printed.)
As someone with a really fucked up back (1), I work full time from home. I have three stations. I have a normal 30" tall desk, a 45" tall standing desk, and a recliner that I use in conjunction with one of those lap board-desk things.

Mixing it up is the key. One thing isn't necessarily better than the other 100% of the time.

I still haven't found a chair I like, so my actual desk is what I use least. Maybe 2 hours a day.

(1) I have two bulging discs, one extruded disc, and one fractured disc. This is all L5 through L2, at the very bottom of my back.
If it were possible to provide them with a device which they could easily disable during cooking

Yeah this stuff isn't really that tough. A single button that disables for 30 minutes would work perfectly. Maybe this device has that?
It'd be more reliable just to blow the pilots aircraft up before they got off the ground. (Or the runway for that matter.) You can disable a fighter with a couple of bullets from a handgun easily enough, they're fragile in that way.

When are we going to realize that the drug war for most drugs is fucking bullshit?

DPR may have gone away but if the law doesn't change eventually, the nerds WILL figure this problem out. You say the weakness this time was the postal system? Well here comes APOD, Anonymous Physical Object Delivery https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb/papers/APOD_PETS09.pdf

And lest we forget, here's a statement from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Commission_on_Drug_Polic... :

In June 2011, the Global Commission on Drug Policy released a critical report on the War on Drugs, declaring "The global war on drugs has failed, with devastating consequences for individuals and societies around the world. Fifty years after the initiation of the UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, and years after President Nixon launched the US government's war on drugs, fundamental reforms in national and global drug control policies are urgently needed."
I did read his reply and that's where I heard "rather bullish" to quote, but I meant to respond to you; sorry just being pedantic, I realize you were just trying to respond, but I just thought it should be clear: the market moved, even if it bounced back rather quickly. There was in fact a ton of activity and big motion at the time of the announcement.

Definitely not moving from 260 to 130 as one might infer, but certainly a lot more movement than the rest of the week (or month?) prior.

> there is no 'day job' that musicians can work

"Fronting a band that gets airplay" is a narrow version of working musicians do. Those just happen to be the most prominent and famous musicians in the US right now, but they're a tiny, tiny slice of working musicians.

Some people show up at advertising firms and write jingles. Some compose arrangements for films. Some studio musicians show up every day, provide background drums or bass for a hundred different singers, without really getting any credit. The most reliable "gig" players I know play weddings, and they make a decent amount of cash. Others play jazz four or five nights a week, often with different fellow players every session. Almost every major city has a symphony. Many working musicians I know also teach.

We need to stop analyzing the music industry by pretending it consists entirely of Trent Reznor and Carly Rae Jepsen.
Also one thing to keep in mind is that there are two eminent Bengali scientists named Bose -- there is of course Satyen Bose but there is also Jagadish Chandra Bose: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagadish_Chandra_Bose

Namecheap Launches Two Factor Authentication
I agree. I love almost everything about this except that I don't control the servers on which the data is sent.

If I did, though, man, they couldn't take my money fast enough.
Totally—when I moved in I figured I must have been burning everything so I started cooking more carefully and at lower temperatures, which didn't help. I searched the model number when I took it down to see if other people were having similar problems, and if I recall it's a new, high end FirstAlert model that goes for around $100, which puts the Nest at a pretty competitive price point, too.
One easy counter-example is "50% [well, technically a bit less, but ignore that for now] of humans are capable of getting pregnant. You are human. Therefore, there is a 50% chance that you are capable of getting pregnant." This ignores the fact that there is another very obvious discriminant - namely, sex - between people who are capable of getting pregnant and people who are not. If you are male, your chance is 0%, if you are female your chance is [close to] 100%, and it is fairly easy to tell without actually trying to get pregnant which one you are.

This also comes up all the time in data-science and A/B testing of products. Frequently you'll end up with results like "This change decreased revenue by 3%." Sounds bad, right? Except then you drill into your results and find out that there was a bug in the implementation of the change in IE6, which decreased revenue by 100% on that one browser which happens to be 5% of traffic, and find that your change actually increased revenue by a percent or two, but that one slice cost you all the benefit and more. You fix the bug and happily start making more money.

Always slice your population. Many times blanket probabilities tell you nothing unless you know what's causing them.
Humble Bundle started offering 'Pay with Amazon' a couple of years ago and it is very slowly expanding, in the UK at least.

I looked into it last year and from the merchant perspective you have to try do the maths up front. There is a trade-off between micropayments and 'standard' amounts, with the fee and per centage varying. There are discounts for higher volumes but not automatically applied. All in all it reminded me of trying to calculate AWS bills up-front; not trivial and prone to assumptions.

I'd say it targets an interesting niche the folk whom I know use it prefer Amazon's name to Paypal, and they are mostly higher-than-average salaried. I wonder what the comparison with other payment methods' demographics is?
Readers may be left wondering…

• How many protons and nuclei did they have to fling to get one to hit?

• How much Boron-11 is there accessible on the planet?

• How much energy is released, relative to energy required isolate Boron-11, turn it to plasma and generate a proton stream? (Not in this setup, but could this ever be used for energy production?)

• Are there other isotopes to which this proton bombardment technique could apply?
Can Amazon develop a "21st century" payment system for its associate affiliates that doesn't involve receiving checks 4 months later? It's such a ridiculously obsolete system for one of the biggest web/digital companies.

That is to say, it all seems very questionable, but under the radar enough that it may still be useful information
Yes, but that's very important. Alphas, especially slow ones, are easy to stop and are good at heating things. Free neutrons are hard to stop and can activate nearby material. An a-neutronic process, especially a clever one that works with comparatively low energies, can be important.
I disagree with the "Know what you don't know".

Building a billion dollar company is about knowing what others don't know.

If it were simply a matter of knowing what others don't someone would have already beat you to it.
Salient point: The fees start at $0.30 + 2.9% and go down form there, reaching $0.30 + 1.9% when you reach $100k/mo in volume.

Yes. This scheme is bending over backwards to try not to kill people. Just killing them would be much simpler.

That's funny because "böse" in German means "evil" or "nasty". I don't know if anybody has that surname, but I would suspect not.
Perma.cc appears to be targeted at links in published journals:

After the paper has been submitted to a journal, the journal staff checks that the provided Perma.cc link actually represents the cited material. If it does, the staff “vests” the link and it is forever preserved. Links that are not “vested” will be preserved for two years, at which point the author will have the option to renew the link for another two years.
Point taken, I can understand the confusion based on the title. I'm referring to risk of boundaries between technologies causing people to choose the wrong tool for the job. In each example there are two ways to solve the problem. I'm simply arguing to stay native.

Yes that's anachronistic. As an Amazon Seller my receipts are disbursed directly into my bank account every two weeks ( though usually £0.00 as I only sell books casually ).

I wonder if there are tax / legal reasons why they don't do that with affiliates?
One suggestion: The site needs to be much clearer about the betting time period and the time period that is being bet on. I can't see anywhere on the front page that explains this. I had to go to the detailed betting breakdown to work out how the time periods even work.

If you can't tell exactly what you're betting on on the front page, you shouldn't expect people to bet on it!
Indeed. And particularly so when the agency making the allegations has an established track record of lying in order to secure convictions. Witness:

> The history of the FBI Lab hasn't been without controversy. Dr. Frederic Whitehurst, who joined the FBI in 1982 and served as a Supervisory Special Agent at the Lab from 1986 to 1998, blew the whistle on scientific misconduct at the Lab. In a subsequent investigation, it was found that evidence had been falsified, altered, or suppressed, or that FBI agents had testified falsely, in as many as 10,000 cases, resulting in many false convictions. More than a decade later, cases were still being overturned because of this massive fraud.

"this tweet is also totally deterministic and without any randomness. here a lot of nested square wave oscillators creates the complexity. basically there are 4 channels/voices mixed down to one and then duplicated in left and right channel. there are three levels deep nesting of frequency modulation with another set of square waves mixed and added."
This is likely among the last prizes we'll see in physics for a long time that has evidence to back it up.

Not exactly. In condensed matter physics, theory and experiment are much more tightly coupled, and many experiments can be done on a table top with a few tens to a few hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment. Not all physics is multi-billion dollar colliders.
possible! all the posts are amazon services related.
You think they are not technically savvy to understand that the system is obsolete. It is deliberate. They defer payments, so they can hold up the cash for a few weeks; This gives them a working cash-flow pipeline they can dip into. There is a technical term for it. Erudite folk on HN can throw more light on this practice.

EDIT: I am not specifically sure what they do with affiliates. I am talking about the general principle they operate on - They typically delay paying their vendors/suppliers, so there is a delay-pipeline of cash flow which Wall-Street analysts deem as a good thing business wise.
"Only a few people on Wikipedia are trusted with sockpuppet investigations. Like forensic investigations in the real world, they tend to reveal the most sensitive information. In this case, that means a Wikipedia user's IP address, the unique number that identifies the computer network you use to connect to the Internet. For any logged-in Wikipedia user, IP addresses are usually hidden."

There are a lot of high-profile, well liked websites that allow a broader group of moderators to have access to this kind of user information, and at least some (one where I am a member of the moderation team) that attempt to use automated means to detect sockpuppets. I understand some of the cultural reasons why Wikipedia has been reluctant to defend itself more aggressively, but it's regrettable how little Wikipedia does to protect itself against the kind of abuse described in the article kindly submitted here.

"Once a link is vested, it will never be deleted unless we receive a legitimate legal order to take it down."

That seems odd to me. Could they simply publish their mappings periodically to avoid being able to fully comply with takedowns?

I mean, the article using the link is already published, what legitimate reason could there ever be to destroy a link in it? What would these people issuing the hypothetical takedown do if the author of the paper had just included the link itself?

Lethal Autonomous Robots are inevitable. They think faster than humans, are much more tactically coordinated and all of them can be updated with new instructions and bug fixes. Just ask a marine captain how difficult it is to bug fix and update his men and you can see the value.

The best way to use drones is to think of them as the appendages or hands of one robotic brain instead of individual units. The beauty of networked robots is that they are ultimately coordinated, one knows what all the others know at all times. This is the absolute dream of military commanders. They would adopt the idea much more readily if it didn't put them out of a job. The only reason we can hang on the nostalgia of men at war is because the US hasn't faced a serious military threat in a very long time. Eventually this will no longer be the case and drone on drone combat will be the only reasonable option.

One objection that people have is that drones will eliminate the human cost of war and make destructive combat more common. I say that frequent combat is just fine as long as humans aren't involved. In the future opposing sides will resolve conflicts by destroying a few hundred million dollars of equipment instead of destroying human lives. I'm hoping that total war will be phased out as machines become powerful enough to dominate the battlefield.
In the college dorm I lived in, there was one networked system for the entire building (which was four ~80-bed dorms). It was so ridiculous that most people just stopped leaving when a fire alarm went off (the buildings are made of concrete and other not really flammable materials because it's Southern California) but the administration claimed they couldn't turn down the sensitivity.
You could probably use the Nest app to remotely turn it back on.

I tried to leave a comment on the author's blog, but it crashed. Instead I will leave one here. We have a number of docker images that we use at DevTable to provide environments for user-hosted software (think: development servers). There was no official way to host them privately, so we built it!
