No. A warrant doesn't allow anyone to dictate how one runs their business.

How the guy chose to run his business and what the warrant was requesting are two different things.
> Meanwhile, Microsoft Word has just become more and more horrible to look at and to use.

This is due, in large part, to Microsoft's institutional inability to remove anything if it might upset a single user. If you want a simple, intuitive interface, you must, from time to time, remove features.

For what it's worth, there are quite a few word processor options for the Mac other than Pages and Word:

So it's not exactly like Apple has you over a barrel. If you need pro tools, there are pro tools. This kind of bellyaching is annoying to me because there's no way to satisfy someone with this attitude.
Reading this thing it just gets worse and worse as you go down.

All they've done was get rid of smart people, create complexity, and embraced a culture of buzzwords.

A complete disaster in the making.

And for what?
>By the way, am I not, accidentally, at a site called "Hacker News"?

The parent's point wasn't that Apple was trying to lock out the standard HN reader, or that an HN reader shouldn't try to repair the device. His point was that Apple is putting an obstacle in the way of a nontechnical person shooting themselves in the foot.

>The clock thing above isn't a fair comparison, a computer doesn't fall apart into two hundred pieces once you unscrew the case

I think it's a good comparison. As the grandparent mentions as an example, removing the battery risks slicing the trackpad I/O cable. While that's not falling apart into hundreds of pieces, it certainly hinders use of the computer.
I have lost you. Are you still arguing that C++ is internally inconsistent because it's not doing stuff that Java does? Are you arguing that templates add a lot more code than a VM and JIT compiler and languages with generic functions are as efficient as C++?

In the first case - I fail to see how it follows.
In the second case - our levels of expertise is too far apart to discuss anything. I am not saying you are not qualified, I might be just too out of the loop and missing some dramatic advances in Java, Scala etc.

I'm guessing they're already on the client list.
Dwight D. Eisenhower if only as a political general who kept the fractious Allied commanders and units together. He gets a special award for being Montgomery's direct report, shielding a lot of people above from having to directly deal with him (not a joke, I'm saying this in all seriousness).

Churchill: without his resolution and ability, we very possibly would have had to start the invasion of Europe with Ireland or Great Britain, assuming it ever happened.

Right next to Hitler put Marx and Lenin, who's death toll overwhelms the former.

FDR, who right next to the above including Lenin's successor Stalin, who also completely changed the nature of his country's government and eventually the country's nature (read The Managerial Revolution). As the then most powerful country in the world, that was a very big thing.
Fritz Haber (9 December 1868 – 29 January 1934) was a German chemist, who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1918 for his development for synthesizing ammonia, important for fertilizers and explosives. The food production for half the world's current population depends on this method for producing fertilizer.

Also known as the father of chemical warfare so it's a mixed bag.
Once "they've" run malware on your machine it's no longer your machine and nothing can be trusted.

Wipe and re-install, then very carefully restore backups of data.
The government obtained a 2703(d) order for the stored non-content data of a particular user (suspected to be Snowden, but redacted from the court documents). They then obtained a pen register order, for real-time metadata about that same user. Lavabit told them they couldn't comply, so the government sought to use the 3rd party assistance language in the pen register statute to compel the company to provide its private SSL keys. The government then followed up with a grand jury subpoena and Stored Communications Act warrant specifically seeking Lavabit's private SSL keys.

So, no. The warrant the government obtained was not specifically for the data relating to Mr Snowden, but rather, was for the SSL keys.

Fritz Haber

Rather unknown, but he invented a Method to synthesize ammonia, which is important for fertilizer. I think Wikipedia puts it quite well:

“The food production for half the world's current population depends on this method for producing fertilizer.”
I disagree with Pxtl overall, but there are some high profile examples like Microsoft's Entity Framework coming from way behind and eventually overshadowing established open source ORMs like NHibernate.

On the other hand, creating a new ASP.NET MVC project with the official Microsoft template that ships with Visual Studio automatically pulls in open source libraries/frameworks like jQuery, Bootstrap, and Json.NET, not Microsoft-reinvented versions of those things.
I don't understand your point as it hasn't been the case for +60 years.
We're just too broke and can't afford the cars.
Minified does sound interesting, especially in term of size, but what about the performance in comparison to jQuery? Also, in term of browser support, the range of browsers officially supported is quite small (plenty of mobile browsers/platforms missing for example).
I thought he offered to do that and they turned him down?

I would imagine him decrypting the data himself would cause problems in a chain-of-evidence type of way though.
I would argue that they're definitely made up, but not completely bullshit. It's a yardstick for a sale price: if the investors need to get out at least X, then that's a good starting place to start shopping the company around. If the entrepreneur is forward thinking it also means they know they need to find a way to get annual revenues up to $Y to justify the investment and give back any semblance of a return. So not a great judge of a company's "worth", but outside of revenue, probably the best thing we have.
So put in Soviet Union in place of Eisenhower. They're the ones who actually stopped Hitler.
I'm still collecting data on this. Along with how dev practices scale out in a purely functional environment.

I try to stay ahead of the game on these things. If I'm still collecting data, either I'm missing some major sources or the overall market isn't ripe for it yet.
Can you quantify this statement, because performance has greatly improved in recent releases!
Because it is far more clever than anything I could do in Excel. And it doesn't require me to duplicate information all over the place. I'd rather have just one master source of data that I do all the calculations on.
I think the Chinese did this a few hundred years earlier.
In some areas, yes. But your chances of discovering new species of butterflies in the Amazon, climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, finding an apt life partner, producing healthy, well-balanced offspring, having good relations with your parents? In other words, the achievements that matter...have little to do with attending a top university.
Usually the idea of a hackathon is you make something in a short period of time. Because you can start now, before the event has started, really it's "Hey developers, please make some stuff with our API and then come and show us on the day of our conference". Or have I got this wrong?
Article feels slightly silly, like looking at a collapsed building and asking why they didn't use a better interior designer.

IIRC from past HN threads, the vast majority of the CGI Federal contract cost was on the business logic (the "data hub" backend which had to integrate with about 50 (!) existing databases, the 34 FFEs, and so on). "Just use wordpress" isn't really a sensible answer.
Airdrop can choose a device to share. Isn't Airdrop secured??

Skanderbeg 1405 – 17 January 1468

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skanderbeg

He has been credited with being one of the main reasons for delaying Ottoman expansion into Western Europe, giving the Italian principalities more time to better prepare for the Ottoman arrival.

On October 27, 2005, the United States Congress issued a resolution "honoring the 600th anniversary of the birth of Gjergj Kastrioti (Scanderbeg), statesman, diplomat, and military genius, for his role in saving Western Europe from Ottoman occupation."

Fully understanding the importance of the hero to the Albanians, Nazi Germany formed in February 1944, the 21st SS Division Skanderbeg, with 6,491 Kosovo Albanians.
The client I work for has his servers in this thing, and I'll probably get to visit it soon. I'd rather they had a whisky bar and a place to smoke cigars installed somewhere in there.

Still, looking forward to seeing it for myself.
Your interesting form of logic can also be used to condemn haircuts:

"Is it okay if I get a haircut?"

"Why stop there? Why just cut hair? Heck, why not have them cut your whole head off? Oh wait, you just stopped being alive."
To back this up with an example: If I had a CS degree I could have gotten a job with Amazon years ago, and even farther back than that, could have become the head security bozo for a large state college. I'm still limited in terms of getting the job I want because I just don't have the knowledge to do it yet.

Though one should keep in mind the loopholes for non-academic jobs and self-motivation. At my Amazon interview one of the head software bozos actually taught himself everything you'd cover in CS, including all the high-level math. I couldn't hack it, but he did.

- Have you tried package-capturing with wireshark on the internet connections your laptop makes?

Yes.

- Are you sure that there's no other attack point in your network that could be more easily infected than a BIOS?

Can be.

- Have you checked your phone for instance?

Downgraded the phone.

- Have you checked the Master Boot Record of your harddrive?

Yes.

- Have you checked your router?

Don't have access.

- Have you tried unhackme (rootkit scanner) ?

Yes.

A BIOS is very device specific, which would mean that either somebody finds you very interesting on a level that's NSA-tech worthy, or China hackers just leveled up.

I have a hard time just believing this, and there's a ton of attack angles that would be much more efficient to bug someone.

I am facing it.

Also. Since when was hacker news downgraded to a personal helpdesk?

From the 20th Century, definitely Adolf Hitler: the fallout from the war he started has shaped modern world. The Cold War was certainly accelerated as a result of the land grab after Germany's surrender and the US development of the atomic bomb. I would argue that Israel gained its independence from Palestine in 1948 because of the Shoah. It may have happened later, but one cannot deny that the Zionists used it to their advantage. Once Israel existed tensions in the middle east increased, forcing us to take sides and make strong enemies in the Muslim world.
Isn't this the exception that proves the rule? And I don't think very many academics at top universities leave the field, unless it's to do something they might think is more interesting, not to leave in disgust (perhaps a fine distinction, but a distinction nevertheless).
This works really well for the candidate too. They walk into an interview with a known quantity and can "own" the conversation by discussing the reasons that they made the decisions that they did. It ends up being a very context-specific portfolio.
This is a confusing question if we are considering the results of someone's life mainly because of procreation. If Hitler, for example, can be thought of as being at the beginning of a causal chain that made a big difference, wouldn't his mother be even more important? She can as much claim Hitler's actions as a result of her behavior as he can the behavior of his armies and subsequent generations and so forth. She has set in motion the Hitler chain but also a number of other small irrelevant chains that nevertheless help her overtake Hitler in impact.
Oh how i wish this was in the UK :(
Thanks!

I actually was looking more for articles that gave the philosophy behind Knockout though, not a comparison with Angular - I mentioned that more as a reference to my experience with client-side MVC. I would like to understand other frameworks independently from anything else - I want to know what they are trying to accomplish without any opinions.
It's a very big fine for me, a big fine for my local barbeque restaurant, but a rounding error for Samsung. Samsung probably writes off more than 340k yearly for office supply shrinkage.
I would say not a lot. All countries that harshly oppose slavery today did that way before the US.

The idea that slavery is not fine did also not originate in the US.
This is probably just the NSA, pumping out as many crypto FUD distractions as possible.

I've never actually done a 1.2.x to 1.5.x upgrade in one go, but have done plenty of 1.3 to 1.5s.

As far as I recall, for Django itself, the 1.2 to 1.3, and 1.3 to 1.4 upgrades were pretty painless, but then 1.4 to 1.5 will involve some work if you make use of function based generic views, as that's when they were removed.

Worth looking at whether your third party apps are still maintained with the new versions as well, as you'll likely be on ancient versions of lots of them if you're using 1.2 (and some may even be obsolete). pip-tools is handy for this ( https://github.com/nvie/pip-tools ).
Could be worse. I thought it was an origami owl.
I interned at salesforce. They have quite a few products so its hard to say what is they do in one sentence. But their target market is basically enterprise, they provide cloud infrastructure, they provide employee performance app (work.com - previously was startup Rypple they acquired). Their core product is the CRM (customer relation management) which is not really CRM now but more of a platform that you can add 3rd party apps to (such as work.com). Other products is a yammer-like thing called chatter (not a fan of it) but they give it out as a freebie last i checked.

Summed up, i would say they are like the iOS/appstore platform but on the cloud and only for businesses. So i can use it to track my customers then i can add an app that does appointment scheduling for me for those customers, for example.

1.6 will inevitably get the fixes, but as it's not a security release and 1.6 is not officially out yet, they'll probably just bundle them with the actual release.
It's somewhat interesting that this is specifically an American essay genre. People join or leave academia in Europe as well, but people seem less angry about it either way. You can work at a university or you can work at a company or a think-tank or in the government or start your own company. Different choices, different pros and cons. I like the university, though there are things I don't like about it certainly. Some people will go in both directions during a career (this highly varies by country within Europe, though). One graphics guy I'm acquainted with spent almost a decade in academia, then spent 4-5 years working as senior technical staff at a company, and now is back in academia.

In CS, the typical tradeoff is that you get more resources but somewhat less direct freedom at companies. In academia you have fewer resources and have to bring in your own grants, but the resource constraint is the main constraint, a sort of indirect restriction on your research freedom (how strong of one depends on your resource needs). Lots of other differences depending on your preferences. Easier to publish papers in academia (no approval needed and it's valued); easier to do software development in industry (resources/coordination exists, and it's valued). Academic schedules tend to be more flexible; work-from-home and non-9/5 schedules are common and don't typically require approval. Teaching is typically required, which can be a pro or a con. Etc.
> not to mention the really shitty support for generics in Java, designed probably by sado-masochists

Ironically, Martin Odersy, creator of Scala, is one of the core people behind Java Generics [0]

EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm a huge Scala fan, and understand Odersky had constraints and compromises to do on Java, which I think is probably one of the reasons he went on to create Scala.

All that study seems to show is that schools with more students in the sports programs also produce better students. Isn't it possible that schools that strive for better athletes also tend to strive for better students and those two groups could be separate? I know out of the 20 engineers I went to college with, only one of them was in any sports and he did pretty poorly and barely graduated.
Knockout is architecturally sound and the DOM is very much available to the developer. Disagree with much of this.
Actually, the reload is added to make sure you stop the shooting ;)

But, I also noticed that on tablets you would easily use both hands: one to shoot, other to reload, esp. on 10-inch tablet, where the distance is too great.

I guess I'll have to add a left-handed option to reverse the reload button and wave number.
I have a hard time choosing, mainly because each time I come up with an answer, I think "oh wait, that wouldn't be possible without invention x". For example - the microprocessor wouldn't be possible without electricity.
As such, I think I'd pick Benjamin Franklin. He did much research into electricity, and even the precursors for what became the design of modern air conditioners. Without air conditioning, our world would likely be drastically different - I wouldn't be sitting in an enclosed building working on a computer, that's for sure.
I have never been able to follow the logical step between "this is pretty obviously a bad thing" and "but it's okay and everybody should shut up about it because it was 'common knowledge' -- i.e. what we might have previously called conspiracy theories -- among some unspecified set of people who may or may not have been dismissed as tinfoil hat wearers".
Do you have good tests? I've done this pretty recently and it got somewhat messy -- though I had great test coverage on the project that I upgraded, so it probably only took a day or so.

The main road bump I hit was Django Piston. It's totally broken past 1.5 and there are a gazillion forks that solved non-overlapping subsets of the problems I was having.
You make a good point with flare guns, but I wouldn't be terribly afraid of them. Maybe someone on a plane could cause a lot of panic with flare gun but that's not much different that causing a fire with other means. You might be able to kill someone with the initial shot, but that's it.

In a shotgun shell, the pellets (or slug) and primer section are still metal. You couldn't smuggle a shotgun shell through a metal detector any more than you could smuggle a regular bullet through.

Akhenaten, the world's first truly radical innovator, circa 1350 BC.

As the pharaoh of Egypt, he had the power to turn his completely original vision into reality. He abandoned old gods and turned to the only power that was visible and potent, the Sun. His religious theory based on a concept of energy originating from the Sun was more scientific than anything that would be invented for almost a thousand years afterwards.

His powerful influence created a completely new art style, a new kind of poetry, all driven by a sense of individualism that was completely foreign to the ancient cultures of his era.

There are many links between Akhenaten's radical monotheism and what formed as Judaism after his time -- some go so far as to suggest that he was the historical character who eventually became described as Moses in the Bible.

Indeed the distribution of the ciphertext when using Airdrop relies on the authentication made by Airdrop (I think that's why Airdrop requires iCloud to be enabled, but note I'm not sure of that). However the encryption of the ciphertext and the keys used are independant of Airdrop. In the worst case a wrong receiver would be selected, he would have the ciphertext but wouldn't be able to decrypt it.

edit: I think I've wrongly interpreted your question. Are you asking if Core Secret doesn't simply reimplement what Airdrop provides? If this is your question, the answer is no, the goal of Core Secret is to divide a secret between peers, each peer having a portion of the secret.
