We'll see ports to the GNex by various teams soon enough, although it is a bit of a shame Google are not supporting it themselves, that leads me to believe they tried and failed to make it work properly.

That's a bit odd, though, as 4.0 works almost perfectly on my Galaxy S, and 4.3 runs "okay". The smaller memory footprint should make 4.4 work great in theory, but it might not be a memory issue at all.
That's how it looks for everyone outside the US.
Google’s crazy barge scheme: Your complete guide
That statement doesn't mention the Galaxy Nexus one way or the other. I imagine it's just a listing of the devices that Google has direct control over that they'll update in the near future. Since updates for the Galaxy Nexus have to go through the carriers, Google can't really say how soon the updates will go through, or if they ever will.
I understand your skepticism, but I would not discount things simply because they do not fit in your frame of mind and assumptions. For example, some may assume that sound based data transmission is implausible simply because of variation in speaker technology and quality and performance, but does that not assume some sort of analog transmission? You don't have to produce and listen to specific frequencies if you have a sequence of pulses that trigger something. Ever hear of number stations?

Also, we assume that things like data transmission by power cable and through power supplies is implausible, but only because we assume that there is not data link between power delivery and data transmission. Could there not be a gate somewhere that upon receiving a specific pulse of electricity opens for full data transmission or even just triggering a sequence of actions that are hard-coded into chip architecture through compromised specifications and standards?

I think we all have heard of the recent publications of NSA's involvement in compromising and deliberately implanting vulnerabilities for their own convenience. Right? If not, you should really read up on what is now public domain.

Although it might be scifi, if you look back on the disparity of technological capabilities in the civilian vs military and intelligence world of the past, you might get an extrapolated idea of how advanced technology developed under triple digit billions of dollars might be.
I'm not sure that it's a good reason, but the explicit self allows for weird intermingling of functions and members. For instance,

class foo:
def __init__(self,val):
self.x=val
def square(self):
return self.x**2

#imperative way
imperative = [foo(x).square() for x in range(5)]

#functional way
s = foo.square
composed = lambda x: s(foo(x))
functional = map(composed,range(5))

print imperative==functional

The explicit self allows you to treat member functions as generic function and compose them in a functional way. Now, most functional programming isn't necessarily Pythonic. However, given a proper compose function, I could imagine it being useful to mix a long chain of function and member calls without needing to make a distinction between the two.

I've visited NYC dozens of times, but never actually "lived there". My recommendation is to optimize one of two things:

1. Minimizing cost

2. Maximizing proximity

In other words, either pick somewhere that's cheaper, or pick somewhere that's ideal for work/social life/etc. For option 1, living in New Jersey isn't a terrible idea. The commute isn't any longer than outer boroughs of the city (15 mins from Hoboken NJ vs. 45mins from Park Slope). To be fair, Park Slope and other outer-borough neighborhoods might be more interesting to live in than NJ, but to each his own. For option 2, live in lower Manhattan. It'll be expensive, it'll be cramped, but you'll be within walking distance to basically everything you could ever want.

Personally, I hate commuting. I'd rather live in a 2nd tier city and commute 5 minutes to work than live in NYC and commute for an hour.
Google’s Search Results Can Deep-Link To Your Android Apps for Nexus 5
First major smartphone which included India as one of the first few countries to be released. Nexus 5 will have a huge impact on high end market in budget conscious indians.

Selling at 28k where HTC one, note3 and Lumia 1025 are being sold at around 50k!. If distribution channel is properly organized it will just blow away the likes of samsung,nokia and HTC
As screwed up as our government is, I'm still so thankful that we have a bill of rights.
Hugely anticipated and closely watched release, and thirty minutes later you're complaining that they're sold out?

Come on.

I knew it was coming and got in early, finding it the most enjoyable Nexus purchase yet -- available in many markets the day it is announced, the Play store didn't crash and functioned speedily, and it will ship in days? I'd say it was a fantastic user experience.
Most New Yorkers here, when asked where they'd like to be on ideal weekend, they would tell you: "Not in the city".

After 5 days of spending a soul-crushing 2+ hours spent in crowded trains, traffic, smelly subways, etc. the last place you wanna be on the weekend is the city.
Compromised drivers and even chips and components that are triggered with rather simple code or sequences, i.e., secret knock.

Just hide the screen face down, or just put it in the pocket in front of you. As soon as they are sitting down and buckled up for the actual take off, you can start using your device again with no one hassling you until landing. %100 success rate for me so far.
Awsome!.
I don't know about in the US, but in the UK it's £299.99 and £339.99 for the 16 and 32 gigabyte versions respectively.
What?? The whole point of getting a Nexus device is that, unlike a carrier phone, it's not supposed to get left behind by updates!
Can someone describe to me the important work they are doing maybe in 5 bullet points? Im cool with donating, but I would love to see why... I don't want my cash going towards something that is just another political scheme to raise cash.
Ask HN: Is Hacker News' rss feed broken
I'm using feedly with https://news.ycombinator.com/rss as the source and the last article I have in the feed is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6639989. Other feeds are working fine. Is anyone else experiencing any problems with HN's feed?
Unfortunately, when the very thing you're trying to do is status signaling, it's not how "sophisticated" your outfit looks nearly so much as it is the brands in your outfit. High-end brands signal status by their very high-end-ness. An off-brand, but sophisticated outfit signals far less status than a perhaps less sophisticated, but visibly branded outfit, assuming the "right" brand.
If I built an encryption system, where entering a specific key initiated a function that systematically destroyed all data on the drive.... could I be accused of tampering with evidence?
You need to be willing and able to learn German in addition to simply working in Berlin. Depending on your ability to pick up new languages, this can be quite a lot of extra work in the evening and/or weekends (it was for me).

Not everyone can, or is willing to (e.g. in banks) speak English, or you may sometimes find yourself on the wrong railway platform, or having a long wait in the wrong queue when you cannot understand German.

The big German cities I know well: Berlin, Hamburg and Munich are all very nice places to live and work.
I'm with you. I fail to understand the hype behind the Galaxy series smartphones. The only thing I like about them is they are most always equipped with a beautiful display. Touchwiz is lack luster at best, and I'm unimpressed with the materials design. Battery and reception have glaring issues as well, at least in my anecdotal experience.
Tape Archive System: write a tape, restore it again, and do MD5sum against the original data. Then we know it can be restored correctly, and the original data is deleted.

Should be bullet proof?

Alas, the 'write to tape' scripts I'd inherited didn't warn if they couldn't load a tape into the drive.

There was a tape jammed in the drive, so the tape robot was refusing to load any new tapes, but kept on writing and restoring from the same tape over and over again.

Stupidly, we didn't do any 'check a tape from 3 weeks ago' for a while.

Lost quite a bit of data. We still have the md5sums though... Still gets shivers thinking about it
The point in the article was that if you sent the coins to an address that never spent any coins (like the reference client does where it will always create a new "change" address for left over coins from a transaction) then the public key of the address that holds your coins will never be seen on the network.
For one thing, there's the argument in the article: giving the key is an admission that you know the key in the first place, which is self-incrimination.

My worst horror story was a full server room shutdown. We killed servers, then the chillers, and then started work. About an hour after we started, we pulled our first floor tile to move some power cables. There was water under the floor! We spent the next few hours cleaning up all the water.

Apparently water kept flowing into the humidifier tray of the chiller, and the mechanical auto-shutoff never triggered. The pump didn't remove water from the tray because the power was off.

Facilities "fixed" the humidifier, but it still happened again when that circuit was cut off for work elsewhere in the building. No one caught the water overflow, and it flowed out down the conduits to the first floor. So we had flooding on 2 different floors from a single chiller.
Are they already out of stock or there is just none available in my country (Canada)?
Engadget says no Verizon support. Is this true? I thought they had Verizon's LTE bands listed but I'm not very familiar with all this stuff.
1) What it's like being a developer out there?
lots of choices, but mostly in the financial industry. Startups too, but you're already in the Bay area, so not as much.

2) How long is your commute?
1 hr + 15 minutes. Prepare to tolerate crowded trains/subways with smelly bums occasionally in the same train as you.

3) How much is rent?
I own a home, but rent out a floor to someone for $1900 a month. This is in Queens

4) Is it hard to connect with other people?
Can't answer, as I'm an introvert and my answer would be clearly biased :)
I think that I have a fairly good amount of diversified experience, for an undergraduate. I don't want to make this about me in particular, I'd like a more general answer. But I get what you mean I definitely need to make it stand out. Thanks.
Mirabile dictu!
I grew up in a Florida home built around 1900, and we had no central air-conditioning until I was in my teens. The house was all windows, with 12 ft ceilings, and had even been fitted with an attic-fan, which is a kind of central fan circulation system that draws air in all the windows and pumps it out through a dormer window in the attic.

Privacy had nothing to do with our desire for air-conditioning. In fact, most of the doors in our house were removed because the house was used as a day-care for children prior to my parents ownership, who never bothered to put the doors back on. We grew up with very little concept of privacy.

We loathed the Florida summers. I can remember plenty of sleepless nights, lying awake in bed, sweating through my sheets. We wanted relief. That's all we wanted.

California Community College tuition is about $1,100 per year and another $1,700 in books and supplies. That excludes room and board, personal expenses, transportation and the like. That's not quite as low as Germany, but very doable.

California State University system by comparison costs $6,600 in tuition for the year while the University of California system is around $13,000. Of course both of those are probably located nowhere near your home, so you'll end up spending a far greater amount on room and board if you need it.
You shouldn't rely on it. 4.3 barely runs and modern opengl apps fail badly in mysterious ways. It's not seeing much attention and it's basically dead these days.

Hugely anticipated only in the tech world...No one else really gives a shit -- as seen by the Nexus 4 sales numbers after more than year (3mil units)
This sounds like a step in the right direction. Unfortunately I'm a little skeptical how much it will help given that it's at the Court's discretion to require a bond. It's hard to imagine that happening in East Texas -- where supporting patent trolls is a keystone of the local economy, and judges' chambers often seem indistinguishable from the local Chamber of Commerce.

Even so, I hope this helps.

The ideographic languages can't claim "a limited number of characters". (7-bit) ASCII fits on a typewriter ball. (By "limited", I meant small, rather than merely finite.)

Of the various points I mentioned, in modern times this is probably the least important, now that RAM, ROM, and CPU are so dirt cheap. This wasn't always true.
Can anyone verify that the Nexus 5 won't work with Verizon? I thought I saw support for VZ's LTE bands but maybe I misunderstood?
That's great, but did you notice that the author was talking about completely different than engineers? Surely you've noticed that even within the Valley the sales and marketing people dress up better?
Hopefully a lawyer will chime in, but I searched this a while ago. As a US citizen, CBP cannot require you to answer any questions beyond your customs declaration. They can detain you, but you don't have to say anything; they cannot deny you entry.

As a non-citizen, I don't believe you need to answer any questions, but they may decide to just deny you entry at that point, and it could cause problems if you ever wish to return. Best idea I've heard of is to have your company encrypt the laptop before you travel and do not provide you the key until you're done travelling.

The one case I am aware of was when a CBP agent stated they saw child porn on the laptop, which the person subsequently locked. In that case a court ordered him to provide the key.

Opera is not really an independent browser vendor any more. They used to be when they made their own browser. That's just not true any more. They're a Google Chrome distribution with slight service and UI modifications -- kind of like RockMelt or the Yandex browser.
I am not saying that I agree with the idea, but one could make an argument that modern cryptography is different from speaking with code words, and that the spirit of wiretapping laws extends to forced decryption. Using code words only barely qualifies as "encryption" at all -- it is certainly not going to meet basic semantic security definitions. Further, codewords are not something is built into any communications equipment, not automated, and computed in one's head -- quite different from TLS or OTR.

One could argue (as the DoJ does) that the spirit of wiretapping law is that the police can, with the approval of a court, temporarily violate a specific suspect's privacy in an electronic communication system. Hence if the system automatically encrypt's the suspect's messages, the police should be able to obtain plaintexts. Phone companies are not exempted from wiretapping requirements when they multiplex phone calls, despite the fact that that is a technical measure that (as a side effect) impedes wiretapping.

Again, this is not an argument I agree with. For one, wiretapping laws do not, as you pointed out, require a suspect to participate in any way in the wiretapping. For another, there is a component of modern encryption that does (or should) occur in a suspect's mind, much like the computation of code words. It is also true that in general, wiretapping laws have expanded far more rapidly than communications technologies have hampered police investigations; the ability of the citizens to have a private conversation is still "catching up."

http://news.stanford.edu/news/2012/august/cooling-glove-rese...

"The newest version of the device is a rigid plastic mitt, attached by a hose to what looks like a portable cooler. When Grahn sticks his hand in the airtight glove, the device creates a slight vacuum. The veins in the palm expand, drawing blood into the AVAs, where it is rapidly cooled by water circulating through the glove's plastic lining."
Call me crazy, but maybe he wears hoodies _because they're comfortable_. That's why I do it, and I don't see how making a bunch of money would have any effect on that.
buy things they clearly don't need or deserve.

Deserve? Where does deserve come into this? Posessing money makes it easy to aquire things, but having it or lacking it doesn't say anything about if someone deserves something or not.
I'm also a white male and reading the article I kept thinking "The requirement for speaking and dressing well doesn't have anything to do with your skin color." The old adage about dressing for the job you want is true for everyone. I'm not suggesting that people of various colors, or women, or gays, or whatever other group does not face a greater degree of difficulty in these areas, but if you want to be one of the ducks, you gotta walk, talk, and act like a duck.
If that were true, wouldn't they tell you to also put away your books and magazines? And not listen to in-flight audio through the audio jack found in the armrest?

That's why a court becomes involved and a judge makes a decision based on reasonable belief. For instance, if you have a laptop that has a password on boot, and there's evidence that you've been using the laptop, you'd need a pretty great excuse to suddenly not know the boot password.
Would it matter what frequency if the signal is a sequence of digital pulses, i.e., a digital secret knock encoded in compromised hardware or software, i.e. audio components and or drivers?

I'm talking about a deniable encryption scheme such as rubberhose, where the fact that you're using it is known, but it's impossible to tell whether you've revealed all the hidden aspects or not. "Here's my key." "Well, you're using deniable encryption; we need your other key." "Ok, here are my other two keys."

But your hypothetical is also strange: "let's say ... the prosecution can prove that you have incriminating documents on your laptop." If the prosecution can prove that you have incriminating documents before you ever provide the keys, you're already screwed.
Sounds like you are enjoying running these workshops (the pupils will notice that and respond of course)!

Think they're out of stock, I'm in Canada as well and I managed to snag one as soon as they went on sale.
That was fast. I though they said it won't be like for the Nexus 4 which was sold out in something like 30 minutes.

I will wait for the next batch then. Thanks.
