What worries me here is not trusting a third party with mail - we all already do that, this is the nature of SMTP.

The issue is that LinkedIn wants to provide mail services without saying it's your mail provider.

If you want to be a mail host, be a mail host. Don't half ass it by pretending you're offering a value added service to someone else's MX.

Convince me there's a reason to use your mail service. Show me there's a reason to trust you. I evaluate it and decide if I want to switch. This process works. It's proven. We expect things out of MXs.

No one knows how to evaluate an MX proxy on a consumer basis. There's no reason to change this. I don't care if you're LinkedIn or anyone else.

This smacks of shortcut taking. Don't trust them.
I've been working on a mud implemented in python. For the uninitiated, mud stands for multi-user dungeon, and they are usually text-only multi-player games run over telnet. The first MMOs. It's cool because it is a modern project, using twisted for networking, it's event-driven and scripted, as opposed to hard coded and tightly coupled. The whole project is still highly in development and may not actually be in a working state but it's a labor of love. https://github.com/danielmunro/mudpy
Berlin is still extremely cheap. You can get fairly large 1BRs in nice, central areas neat Mitte for 400-500 EUR or even less. Larger apartments are not much more expensive. You can still find a largeish 2BR below 1000 EUR.
I generally agree with you on RT, but it was the first that popped up with regards to the technology quote.

I also agree that it's not as simple as liberal v conservative, but given the liberal bloc tends to vote together on issues like this---and many issues, I thought it was the easiest way to frame it. If people have more details to add, I'd be glad to have that be part of the discussion. I'm not a professional SCOTUS-tracker, and by no means claim to be one: just a hobby of mine. I wanted to start a discussion though, and hopefully some action with what I do know about the situation.
seriously? Blog spam because we decided to share the videos with our readers in one post? We didn't post it here either btw.
I'm working on a system to export users from one version & instance of our SaaS application and import them into another.

The cool/interesting part of this is that I'm using a combination of SchemaCrawler and our homegrown upgrade/migrations kit to naively (with the only domain-specific knowledge being where to start) extract a single account from a multi-tenant database and import it into another one, even if the other one is a different version. (I only support upgrades, as downgrades would cause data loss.) Because it all runs over JDBC, it also means that I can go from one database to another - MySQL to PostgreSQL, for example.
> It's a double tax, as money that was invested had already been previously taxed.

Everything has, in some form of another, been previously taxed. "Double taxation" is a good sound bite, but it doesn't actually say anything. yummyfajitas gives a computation below that shows the overall tax rate is higher (48%). That is an actual argument (which I will respond to there). But other than that, "double taxation" means nothing other than "different rates", which is generally always the case.
Good point. Perhaps we need a "Terminal" program for windows that just works, installs the common bash tools for windows, and everyone is referred to.

I say this because if a windows user actually opens up their terminal and types in wget, I'd say they're lucky to give up so early considering that the terminal they're using is straight trash. You can't even make it full screen.
The "who is this guide for?" section seems a bit out of place here in an otherwise technical document. While I appreciate the sentiment, studies have shown that girls/women perform worse on tests if they are reminded that they're female right before they take the test - I would imagine that a similar effect might occur when learning Clojure (for any of the discriminated groups mentioned in the welcome message). If someone has managed to find this page, chances are they already know a bit about programming and don't need a welcome message - no?
It is quite possible to believe in the necessity to have a military without believing in the doctrine of mutually assured destruction or the use of nuclear weapons.

I'm surprised that the sans-serif is here claimed to be more readable "always". In low resolution circumstances and where single letters are to be recognized (e.g. abbreviations common in short technical instructions) I believe it's so. But I also know that if you'd give me book printed in sans-serif, I wouldn't want to read it: whenever I try, I find it very stressful. I don't have the explanation why though.
Well I disagree with justice Kagan. I think the Court gets the gist of what Facebook, etc, is, and I don't think there is much that is valuable about having really deep understanding of the technology.

I think technologists confuse technology with ideology. Facebook is a technology that lets your friends see messages and photos you post, like a private bulletin board. I think every Justice gets that. All the other stuff, about what sort of social role that technology should play, that's ideology and politics.

As an aside, when younger people say older people don't get technology, I think its usually a proxy for social disagreements. E.g. My mom (62) has a Facebook, and iPhone, iPad, etc. She gets how it all works. She just doesn't approve of people posting pictures of themselves in revealing outfits or airing personal business in public on Facebook, or teenagers sexting pictures on their iPhones. That's not her not understanding technology. That's her having different social views.

It's not so much that your post is blog spam -- in fact, it's good that you're getting the videos out there to people who would otherwise not know about them -- but to this audience, the much more valuable link is the direct YouTube link.
Thanks for bringing this up. I completely agree. Penflip is actually still in alpha, and wasn't quite ready to be shared with a larger audience. I was planning on posting HN with beta, which would include pricing.

Anyway, just so you know: the pricing model will be similar to github: free for open source / public projects, small monthly fee for private projects ($5+ a month depending on number of projects).
Great tool. RESPECT!!
That is only one definition of fairness. Another definition of fairness would declare: "No Mr. Multi-millionaire, you really don't need a 5th Ferrari, just because you won the genetic lottery." I see the merit to both sides, because I can see myself on both sides. But nonetheless, your proposal would be an improvement, because right now, the system we have is neither fair nor sustainable.
After getting hired on my current team my first course of action was to move from gitflow to github flow.

http://scottchacon.com/2011/08/31/github-flow.html

If you break projects into small iterations made up of independent effort and continuously integrate feature branches, you should be able to get away with few long-living branches, and you can rebase the ones that you do have from their upstreams frequently enough that they don't get to where you need to expend lots of merge effort when they're ready to ship.

With gitflow, we were eating lots of effort merging caused by hotfixes. Hotfixes would have to get merged into every branch lest you risk regressing them, no rebasing of development on master (for good reason when there's so many people merging into it), people would forget - and the git extension would only do some of the required merges, so before I showed up the team had a spider's web of merges where changes would get lost and hotfixes regress.

If you must have a stable and active branches, gitflow is fine, but make sure everyone really understands git and what they are doing with it (using the gitflow extension prevents this in my experience), do your due diligence and avoid changes on the stable branch like the plague.

These two programs are simply awful compared to their counterparts in the closed source world. I happily pay not to use them.

> But for the extra bit of protection against 0-days

I am not in a position where I feel I need to worry about remotely exploitable 0-days in my SSH daemon. If you are, then your situation is, I feel, exceptional.

That said, perhaps those people should sponsor a project to fix this for real. This could be accomplished by having not one program, but two, one after the other, both with realistic keysizes and security. The password/key to get log in would be then be the combination of two separate keys, one for each program.

But what I have described is more or less the same as having a key/password-protected tunnel on top of SSH, so they could just use that. A 0-day in the tunnel/VPN would not allow access through SSH, and a 0-day in SSH would not matter since SSH can’t be accessed directly in the first place. This way, both the tunnel and SSH would need a 0-day at the same time for the security to fail. Like a RAID-1 array. If even this is not sufficiently secure, just increase the number of layers.

> and bullshit amounts of logs

This is a separate problem, better addressed by adjusting SSH to not log stupid amounts of stuff in the first place.
Money from quantitative easing goes to the wealthy and connected first. The rest of the country doesn't see it until its value has been inflated away, which is why you'll see the wealthy benefit from the recovery and the poor stay exactly where they are.

I left Barcelona in 2007 to come to London and although the cost of living is higher here ( I live in West Hampstead ), salaries and opportunities are also much better.
Granted, I spend more money per month in fixed costs than my entire salary in Barcelona, but I still save more than I spend.

Also, from this article it seems that rents have actually fallen, because in 2007 I could not find that kind of accomodation for that price and I was strugling to save any money compared to now.

I guess the housing market collapse in Spain has actually impacted the crazy Barcelona prices of mid 2007.
"To Make Danger Zones Safer"

Dangerous for who? Safer from what or whom? This "safety ball" is there to help one group of people shoot at another group of people, and it's wrong to implicitly state that one group is good and the other evil, simply by virtue that one has this Happy Fun Ball, and the other does not. What if both teams have one? Whose safer now?

I bet this would be just as useful in a home invasion, or whatever, but you know we always have to put the "WE'RE SAVING LIVES" spin on every escalation in the Limited Warfare technological arms race.

Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
Three reasons. First, I want to justify and contextualize the work in the hopes of promoting more like it. Second, stereotype threat is ameliorated by explicit acknowledgement of the effect. Third, I want to challenge implicit assumptions about the audience of technical writing.
> That's what double taxation means. You paid taxes twice on the earnings of $100k.

You paid 48% on the $100K, and that is all that matters in the end - the fact that it was a two step process, and that different steps have different credit/exemptions consideration is not really important.

And you generally can pay just your marginal rate - don't set up a corporation, and list everything on your own return - singular taxation goodness!.

However, no one likes to do that, because it makes them personally liable. So actually the higher rate (which people like to call "double taxation" even though that's not informative) turns out to be the fee you have to pay to separate your finances and legal status from the business - and by the fact that the vast majority of businesses choose it indicates that, in general, it's not expensive and might even be too cheap for what it provides.
There will be a desktop app eventually!

If you're comfortable with git, you can clone the project and work on your own computer, like you would with any git repository. If you have the GitHub app on your computer, you can use that for Penflip projects as well:

Secret weapon against hacking: College students
Yes, this behavior would be equivalent to "flying cars". Yeesh, how ridiculous. I'd happily pay for photoshop. It's a better program and easier to use.
I have not used Octoprint. I actually use a homemade printer with LinuxCNC and a HobbyCNC driver. It's a bit more fiddly than an off the shelf printer that's fully scriptable, but I really like looking at something I made drive around and make more things [0].

The way it sounds, at least from glancing at your website, is that the printer becomes web connected (your printtopeer.com link on the tablet and printer interface). I would never, ever pass control through a third party for something as expensive and dangerous as a printer. Can you manually override the endstops? Can you manually override the temperature controls? How about a hacker?

Just my thoughts. Your interface looks very nice, good luck with the project.

Seeing the "yada-yada" operator reminded me of a language I saw once that was designed to actually let you say the equivalant of "yada yada" or "and so on", and it would actually try to figure out what you meant. It wasn't quite a general "do what I mean" language, and was a research project in progress. Does anyone remember in more detail what I'm talking about? I can't figure out how to search for it.
Adversary model is pretty simple: If you have a computer that's not compromised (your keys are not copied, there is no keylogger), you should be anonymous at the point you post. A global passive adversary would be able to pinpoint the origin of posts if they had access to the wire-level data if posts were sent in cleartext, but all the connections are encrypted with TLS, so that's impossible. With no physical access, Aether should be pretty much unbreakable (I hope I won't have to eat this later) barring external vectors (keyloggers, rootkits etc).

If they have access to your computer, there are two possibilities, depending on your settings. If you have left locally flagging own posts as such enabled (the default setting), it will identify the posts you have created. But if you explicitly disabled that option, even that does not incriminate you: your node is just another node that might have been touched by that post.

The reason I have that 'own post' flag is that it is the only way I can show or notify the user about the replies he / she receives. This is kind of an important ability, otherwise I wouldn't have even given the option to flag. It's a tradeoff between user experience and security: I am trying to protect proper citizens from eavesdropping, but I'm not interested in protecting criminals in case of computer seizure. The only reason I have protections against that kind of threat also is the possibility of people in less fortunate countries (where bar for seizure is low) getting their computers seized because of their exercise of free speech.

For the transport: so long as you have an IP address that the remote node can contact you back, it will work. It does not matter if it's Tor, I2P or whatever. Granted, I did not try actually doing this yet, but there is no reason it should not work.
Ask HN: What are your favorite Bachelor Chow recipes?
Many of us here are almost too busy to cook, so we end up eating out a lot. This is costly, and not as healthy as it can be. To remedy that, I'd like to start a thread for your favorite quick to prepare, cheap, healthy recipes, which I like to refer to as "Bachelor Chow" (you know, like the stuff that Fry eats on Futurama). There are no hard qualifications, but basically anything that can either be prepared in about 5 minutes (even if it has to cook for a half hour or so), and/or something that you can make a large quantity of and it keeps good for leftovers.

For example: Chicken and yellow rice -- get a bag of frozen chicken breasts (about $7, usually has 4 - 6 pieces of various sizes), a bag of mixed frozen vegetables, and a package of yellow rice (essentially, rice with turmeric and other seasonings). Boil 1 - 2 pieces of chicken (takes about 15 minutes to boil), cut or tear into small pieces, throw chicken pieces, frozen peas, yellow rice, and appropriate amount of water in a pan (the rice package gives how much water to add), cover and cook for about half an hour. Total time in front of stove, 5 minutes (broken down into two separate sessions), total cooking time about 45 minutes.
Variations include using strips of boneless pork chops (brown pork first in skillet, doesn't have to be cooked all the way through), and you can slice up red potatoes on top instead of peas.

Both of these are awesome even a few days later (or fill small bags with the leftovers and throw them in the freezer.

Another quick recipe is beef stew -- basically a package of stew meat ($6.00 or so), a large bag of soup-mix vegetables (this should include potatoes, or you can cut up red potatoes -- reds, so you don't have to peel the skins), a package of stew seasoning. About $9, makes enough for about 6 meals.

So, any others? If this thread gets some up-votes, I'll add a few more in the comments section.
Thoughts and Observations Regarding This Week’s Apple Event
maybe so, but Cory's post says (minus the bullshit):

All the claims are totally correct, but we tried super duper hard (though we sure as hell aren't going to put our money on the line if we're wrong) to make this secure. And if we don't keep this up, or if we do get hacked? Ain't our problem.
> Why not just keep your files in git? Use a git GUI if the command line is intimidating to writers. That way you don't have to create a brand new writing tool.

That's exactly what Penflip is. All projects are backed by git repositories, so you can clone them and work on them locally just like you would with any git repository. The web interface is really just a GUI for git.
Visdom Legal Defense Fund
For the same reason you can't do that with MySQL or Postgres or any other database server. Redis intended to be ran as a server listening for TCP connections, and communicating over a TCP/IP network. If you're running it on localhost, the communication should generally be pretty fast, but you're right that overhead will still be incurred.

It would require adding a lot more code to allow for typical interprocess communication.

These things are extremely hard to compare.

Yes, it is on top of the 35%. However, the 35% is on pure profit -- if the business has more expenses, the profit goes down and there is less tax. Whereas, if it was earned income, there are much fewer relevant deductions.

Also, being a corporate does indeed cost that 35% corporate tax - however, it does limit the shareholder, director and officer liability. If the corporate structure wasn't there, these people would have to arrange for e.g. insurance - and the overall cost would be at least as high.

I would infer from the fact that most small business owners choose the "limited liability" path, that the overall cost (corporate tax + dividend tax) is worth the limited liability. It might, in fact, be too cheap for what it provides.
FB is the 21st century equivalent of the market square

No, it isn't. The Internet as a whole might be, but FB isn't. It's the equivalent of a particular shop that happens to be contiguous to the market square, but is still private property.

1st amendment should prohibit what they are trying to do

The 1st amendment gives you the right of free speech, but it does not give you the right to commandeer someone else's resources for that purpose. FB does not belong to you, or to the public. If FB decides to block you from using their site, for whatever reason, then you just have to go exercise your right of free speech somewhere else.
I do think a current justice is much more qualified to talk about how the court views and understands technology then we are...

Regardless, in this case, a well-written amicus brief from technology leaders could also shape some of the ideology that would come to play, and I think it would be respected because they would be subject experts.
