Dry ice bombs are illegal in California and are categorized as weapons.

Find that unfair?

An undetonated dry ice bomb is extremely dangerous to handle.

The sound of an exploding dry ice bomb can incur hearing damage.

Using a glass bottle and/or adding nails or marbles to a dry ice bomb turns it into a lethal device.
What is their intentions to put that dry ice there anyway?

If the intention is to play a prank at an airport instead of your own backyard, I think calling it a bomb is still legitimate because your motive is to make something (be it noise, or kill people). And consider the difference between an air port and your own backyard. The airport is a public property and is subject to 24/7 legal enforcement. Your backyard is not. You don't have 5000 people, 100 airplanes, people from 100 countries coming and leaving your backyard. Do you? And carrying that dry ice and place it at an airport, you have planned things. How do you know that dry ice was not part of an actual bomb scheme? What if it was used to distract the security? How do you know for sure it isn't?

Carrying a cellphone and intentionally set it on fire at an airport is a bomb. Carrying a cellphone and use it to call your mother but then the cell explode due to hardware failure is not a bomb, it's called an accident.

Accident vs intentional is a big difference. This is why your client is subject to criminal charges.

He could be a loner hating the government starting yesterday. People change their beliefs every day. How do you know he wasn't one of those people just happened to hate government a few days ago and thought it would be cool to "prank" an airport?
Aha, so that's why there are 100's of new people starring it... ;)

If the goal of the hypothetically-compromised Bruce Schneier is to reinstate public trust in weak crypto, he's doing an exceptionally bad job.

To the extent that he maintains crypto is still a plausible defense, there's a huge asterisk next to 'crypto' that boils down to: you really can't know whether you've actually got strong crypto. [1]

For anyone who doesn't have a burning interest in privacy or security, for the regular joe on the street, Schneier's collected reporting reads: they won, it sucks, we need to fight back at the ballot box.

[1] Due all his reporting on the NSA: tapping every wire; injecting vulnerabilities and backdoors, whenever possible, in crypto libraries, crypto programs, services, operating systems and hardware; by hook or by crook, having access to just about every vendor and service providers keys and internal data. And if they want into your computer, specifically, Schneier maintains they're basically in. Hardly a reassuring word among them.

> other companies aren't quite ready to completely embrace the post-PC world, where people are typing on virtual screens rather than physical keyboards

I don't see Apple completely dropping all their various Mac lines. So technically, they have not completely embraced it either. Why do they keep claiming they have?

I can't be the only that cannot efficiently do their job (programming) without a keyboard. Maybe "people as consumers" are typing only on virtual screens but I think there is way too many "people as producers" that need an actual keyboard. Yes, I'm sure there are some people that can make it work for some types of jobs. But I don't think that is a very large segment. So I don't want... we don't need... companies to completely embrace a non-keyboard world. We need companies that can make a good product that can live in both worlds. While what has been offered so far keeps missing the mark a bit... in a way they are closer to this than what Apple has (that we know of).

Reading the comments below Schneier's post, I was reminded again just how much the Internet has changed how we interact. Here is an expert creating a space and inviting anyone with an opinion to gather and discuss whether he can be trusted, while he quietly (and amusedly?) observes. I can't imagine anything analogous to this IRL.

According to the use tax definition in that link, the vendor has to actually deliver the item to the resident within the state boundaries:

"Sells to Massachusetts residents or businesses and delivers, repairs or installs goods or telecommunications services within the Commonwealth."

Without that stipulation, essentially anything you buy anywhere outside the state for which you didn't pay sales tax, then carried back into the state, is subject to a "use tax". This seems both unreasonable and unenforceable.

Suppose while on a trip you buy a souvenir at a gift shop in NH, or Alaska, or Delaware, or Oregon, where there is no sales tax. Does this law actually require that you are to pay tax on it when you bring it over the border? That sounds like a tariff or customs duty, a power which the Constitution specifically assigns to only the Federal government.

Also, given that the price of the item includes baked-in compensatory taxation such as higher property taxes or income taxes, effectively you would be double-taxed. New Hampshire, for example, has much higher property taxes than does Massachusetts. They have to get their revenue somewhere.

You can respect it and count your blessings but what are you proud for if you didn't contribute anything to it?

Now if you are part of an ancient and rich civilization and you continue to further that civilization, that you can be proud of.
Why should you be proud of being part of a community that makes good, rational decisions? That's also coincidence.

(You should be happy and thankful, perhaps. But not proud, because, to any reasonable approximation, you have had nothing to do with it.)
The article cites 622 Mbps down, 20 Mbps error-free up. Is the implication that the 622 Mbps down is before error correction?

Either way, it's pretty incredible. Even if the 622 Mbps down isn't completely error free, but maybe 99%, you just need to use a video compression algorithm that is error tolerant.
I've seen 'code reviews' that were in fact functionality checks. So it's more like a 'check if this code works'.

And I can tell you: a web form capable of SQL-injections is still 'working code'. So it gets a positive 'code review'.
Noted a few other things:

Their manual/documentations has no mentioning of BSD licensed software. While its possible that bsd license is included in paper form with the devices with reference to each software package, it is unlikely. As such, 99% sure that Kogan is violating BSD licensed software too.

Kogan is aware that they are using open source software (http://www.kogan.com/uk/newsroom/kogan-releases-119-android-...), as is indicated by their press releases. As such, if an infringement is found, it likely to be seen as intentionally and willingly regarding that product.

Otherwise, it seems as a common misunderstanding by Kogan in how one provide source code to users. Its not very complicated, but hand waving users towards Google is not enough. Had the kernel been gplv3, then they could just given the user a link, but since the kernel is gplv2, the options are either a written offer for minimum 3 years or to include the source code alongside the binaries. GPLv3 changed the license text regarding source distribution because they did not want to still live in 1990s.

Kernel drivers however are a separate issue as the primary author of the kernel (Linus) has given explicit permission to produce "some form" of drivers without having to follow the license. For most people, that is enough safety against lawsuits, even if copyright do not care who is the primary author, and gives equal copyright rights to each author of a project.

> The excess of these funds, which are not required for the costs of maintaining the university, are distributed to professors and students (this is profit returned to investor; the professors invest time and opportunity cost while the students invest labor) in the form of internal grants.

Internal grants are not a redistribution of profits, they are an internal budget allocation. The funds don't become personal funds.

> This activity has caused many to question the tax-exempt status of universities.

People question lots of things on bases which are not legitimate.

> The purpose of tax exemption for universities is to promote education, not prevent universities in acting as for-profit institutions.

Its actually both, as is obvious from the tax code. Tax exemption under 501c3 requires both not being operated for profit and operating a specific form or function of entity (educational, in the case relevant to universities.)

> Note the discussion of unrelated business income.

Unrelated business income is a separate requirement of tax-exemption from not operating for profit; income from unrelated (to the tax-exempt purpose) business income is taxable to protect for-profit business from not-for-profit institutions. The fact that the IRS found some issues with some colleges and universities regarding proper reporting of unrelated business income does not mean those colleges and universities (much less universities in general) are operated for profit.

Are you speculating that this is an invalid comparison or do you actually know that the only reason (or even ... primary reason) for the push-down was the fact that it was a "Ask HN" post ?

I've been on HN for much longer than your 2-month old account and (based on the ranking of other "Ask HN" and "Show HN" posts I've seen), I suspect that you're speculating and that your assertion is incorrect.

The huge inconsistency between points and ranking happen on a large number of Microsoft-related posts and almost all of them point to external websites.

[update:Reply to LukeShu] Thanks LukeShu, it is good to know how ranking is implemented.

Btw I didn't question whether the absence of URLs reduced the ranking or not. My question was whether the absence of URLs was the only reason (or at least the primary reason) for the push-down of this specific post.

It seems clear that the .4 multiplication rule could not have been the only reason.

As per the .4 multiplication rule, the post with 290 points should have been downgraded to 116 points. Yet, 4 hours after submission, it was at #8. The #2 post only had 90 points and had been submitted 5 hours earlier. So it seems like the push-down was partly caused both by the 0.4 rule and partly by other factors.

Anyway, I appreciate your investigation. In spite of being on HN for the past few years, I never knew that posts without a URL, got hit by this 0.4 rule.
Raspberry Pi local homeserver as 1st stop for your e-mail (working as some type of backup), and then auto-forward incoming emails from the rPI-mailserver to your main gmail inbox?

That way you will get all emails even during gmail outage, aswell as having a backup of every single mail safely "at home" ... a quick thought.
I think a lot of people like using alert() for debugging because it posses execution. Of course, so do break-points / "debugger" statements.

Git pre-commit hooks for alert are helpful since few and far between are the circumstances where an alert is actually wanted in production. While you're at it you can add one for whatever set of profane terms, if you roll like that.
And that's OK.

Paying money for software (open or not) is not something immoral, in fact, to me it is the way it should be for most cases.

Also, Open Source should be important to developers. Aren't you a developer? Then be prepared to pay if you want something that's not implemented already. Not being able to program is the illiteracy of this century.

> Even if the community could not legally force people to play fair with open source code (by releasing modifications, not charging, or whatever the terms are), people would still continue to write it.

There was a reason I made clear to mention GPL advocates. There are differing definitions of "software freedom" that target the developers of software and the users of software.

When your political movement aims to ensure that the source code for the software that people are using is actually available and stays available then you need something like copyleft.

If your idea is instead to ensure that people are free to release source code for free if they wish, then there's not actually a battle to be had! That was how software started out after all, but that was also what led eventually to users being closed off from their source code.

Looks awesome! I can't wait to get my hands on an iPad at work and download it. I love vector drawing/illustrating - and based on your other comments, I'm hoping there's some export functionality (even as svg) in the near future so I can edit my creations on the internet. Your demo illustrations look amazing too - nice artistic touch.
First, congrats on the app and the selling method. Free trial and extras for sale are definitively a honest way to go on the app store!
I understand it's hard to export a svg, but how about exporting a hi-res picture? When choosing 'save image', the super resolution option disappears, and zooming before saving exports only a partial tile. It would be great to be able to save a huge picture, for pro printing, for instance

The article doesn't say. You need to ask your company about it.

Things to check are if they company was bought for cash or shares, which can determine which you receive. Second, check if your shares have vested, meaning whether they are actually yours yet and in that case whether Oracle decides to let you have them or discard them.
Yes, I know this. But being underway and having to plan my long trip in such a way, that I have to reach a Supercharger every some hours would be a little bit too much hassle for the average German cardriver.

That's a lot of wins rolled up into one. Better for the consumer, developer and Apple. Better for Apple by not only selling more hardware, but by spending less resources supporting older software releases.
You might need to point those people to an open source FAQ stating that you do in fact have a day job and that you cannot find time to support changes you do not care for unless you are getting paid to do so and that if the person wishes they can hire someone to fork the code and implement it themselves and you will be happy to take the pull request
linkbait. Title is no time for code reviews and talks about how they do code reviews.
> You also can use your own fork of GPL on your hardware without releasing any source.

I believe this is no longer true (at least in general) as of GPL v3. In fact this "Tivoization" is one of the very things the GPLv3 was intended to combat.

Software-as-a-Service is another thing they were aiming at... I don't know offhand if it made it into GPLv3 or not.
Authority Case Studies: $30k in sales from first-time authors

No. The GPLv2 license is explicit in how one provides the source code. Either bundle the binary and source code together, or provide a written offer for source code that is valid at minimum 3 years or as long support is valid, depending on what is highest.

GPLv3 however changed this to reflect the new invention called the Internet. You can now use a simple link to the repository where source code reside.
but that is exactly what they will do, because when each landlord raises the rent slightly every month, via pure experimentation/intuition, they will reach a point where someone will still rent their house/apartment at the highest price they can ask for.

The only way to drive rent/cost of housing down is to produce more houses/apartments.
I don't see the price mentioned anywhere in the documents published but I may have missed it.

I expect that you will get a notice about the acquisition in the mail, with more details. Otherwise you can always call the CEO or CFO and ask about the acquisitions and what it means for your shares and how much they are worth.
From ebay's perspective, large traders mean faster dispatching and better refunds/disputes.

With a guy selling out of his garage and a seller who says they didn't get the item, you don't know if the item was mailed (or even ever existed), and they'll probably kick up a stink if you make them eat the cost of items lost in the post.

Easier to have traders you can form trust relationships with, and who have deep enough pockets to provide a good return/refund experience.

STEM graduates: What immigration reform means to you
I am probably the least biased person when it comes to technology - I love Apple's hardware and software, I hate Apple maps and iTunes, but I love Google Maps and I hate Google Search. I like Bing as my search engine - Bing is nice, I'll give Microsoft that.

Most other products, historically are crap. Microsoft always half-asses things and comes up with products that are irrelevant to the end user. Windows 8? I'd say it's a failure of epic proportions. Microsoft doesn't seem to care about the user experience - I always get a feeling that someone at Microsoft was thinking "Oh, we are getting stale, so we need to do something new - let's come up with this entirely new UI, but we're not really going to put any thought into how it is designed, and we are definitely not going to pay attention to detail".

In OS terms, Windows was always ages behind OS X and Linux IMO - but at least Windows 7 was "perfected", or as close to "perfected" as Microsoft can get. Ever since I switched to OS X, I have not used Windows willingly, and that's 3 years.

Validating Knowledge without a computer science and design background
Hi my name is Pablo Velasco from Pholio. Right now, we're starting a company to solve the validation and accreditation of knowledge with online courses and offline education. We're currently in the development phase and was hoping you might provide us some insight into the market.
Looking I'm not selling you anything. I would just like to understand your perceptions on how do you validate someone or hire someone without CS degree(formal education in computers) or design background. Most importantly how do you validate or accredit(screening process) someone's integrity so that organization is not full dicks or full of themselves.

Anything is helpful. Thank You very much pablo Velasco.
