You're right, I haven't noticed that. However, quoting Forbes:

> The FBI official wouldn’t say how the agency had determined that the Bitcoin “wallet”–a collection of Bitcoins at a single address in the Bitcoin network–belonged to Ulbricht, but that it was sure they were his.
There's a massively skewed ratio of men to women on these sites, probably around 10:1 men to women. As a result, women get spammed with no-content or offensive messages, driving many away. Those who do stay have to spend significant effort sifting through messages to find good ones, and inevitably a lot of good messages from decent men get lost in the deluge. Most dating sites are just glorified personal ads, no innovation at all. OKCupid is an exception with its quizzes and match percentages, but the percentages are inaccurate and OKC is filled with people who are just there for the quizzes.
> I don't know the internals of my Word or Pages documents. [...] But nobody expects it to be a mere "pointer" link.

While Word and Excel (and plenty of other kinds of non-cloud document) files usually contain data besides links, and sometimes contain no links, they can contain content which is non-obviously (from visual inspection) provided through a link which is broken if the file is moved. And, unlike gdocs, you don't usually get a warning when you drag them out of the folder which tells you exactly what is going to happen if you do that.
Thats not true at all, but the interests of the editors do not cover everything. Also you need reference books for most stuff, online sources are not that great. eg loads of historical subjects are not covered at all well.
We (kato.im) found Knockout to be a remarkable framework.

We evaluated a number of options and found Knockout to deliver the fewest number surprises.

Knockout's primitives make it possible to design elegant solutions to problems that frequently seem to result in unmaintainable code.

Kudos to the Knockout team!

And And those who lost their file will blame the UI.
I understand the frustration and how terrible the poster feels but this anecdotal argument is irrelevant to the actual safety or UI quality of Google Drive.

There will always be users who lose their data due to glitches, technical illiteracy, bad design etc. There are literally dozens, maybe hundreds of million Google Drive users.

The lesson that can be learned here is this:
Your personal data management system should never have a single point of failure.

Disclaimer: I was a Googler sometime ago but wasn't anywhere near the Drive team.
It's a list of spoofed addresses. That means they are pretending to be Dreamhost, not that Dreamhost is compromised.
> he had the reasonable expectation that the files WERE backed up

All of my .gdoc and .gsheet files were 4 KB when I last used the Google Drive desktop client. How is it reasonable to conclude that all of one's Google Docs and Google Spreadsheets are 4 KB each? I could definitely understand how my mom might arrive at this conclusion, but this guy identifies as a "web designer and developer".
actually security is not a feature, but a constraint. It doesn't bring the user anything, but it absence would be a problem for secondary reasons (that might be important in the grand scheme of things).

Imagine a bank (well just an account), on the functional level, you just need to deposit and withdraw money. The fact that they have to secure it is a huge constraint, but at the functional level we're not far from a trash can, a parking lot or a gas tank.
Ah -- ok -- I got my info from the COPYING file in the git repo.

Regardless: "those which are distributed and marketed as database systems to be used by other developers" looks to be _full_ of wiggle room within what I suspect[1] is the authors intent.

[1] "I/somebody will/might make this a higher-order database tool for developers and I don't want anyone to compete with anybody else without forcing everybody involved (with this code) to open their entire codebase" (??)
> means-tested programs without additional revenues

I have no illusions about this: additional revenue will be required. Also many federal employees will be let go if you do this. They handle minutia around all these programs that could be replaced.

>Basic Income would probably decrease SS payments to existing retirees

Some existing retirees, the >3k a month ones perhaps. Many people are retiring far earlier, and in the 1800ish area. Those will likely see increases (remember, this has to replace section 8 as well).
> Keep in mind that the FBI's BTC address has been permanently tainted

Well, no. Run them through any service with a shared wallet and they're instantly clean. There's no way of tracing them after that point. If they are put through a mixer, you'll end up discriminating against people that are completely unrelated.

> any shady business that takes security seriously will never do business with that address

Almost all systems are automated and won't discriminate one coin from another. Manually checking each input is a ridiculous idea, and destroys the idea that all coins are equal.
Is he doing anything to get the initial traffic, or just retargeting his existing hits from search engines?
I was interested in his conclusion at the end, but unfortunately it was incorrectly worded. It should have read:
"Society is quickly dividing into 10 groups:
01: Those that know how to code - they can manipulate the very structure of the world around them.
10: Those that don't. Their lives are being designed and directed by those that do."
That could be interpreted as the people with power program.

I used to wonder what the other side of the web looks like. You know, the sites that search engines don't return to you because you don't live there or you don't speak that language. I wanted to know what Russian, Greek and Arabic websites look like, what the other billions of people on earth look at every day.

To find out, I downloaded list of 1,000,000 most visited websites and hacked together a site ( http://ShuffledWeb.com ) that takes you to random websites.

It turns out Web is big and interesting place. Even seeing 100 sites a day on ShuffledWeb.com, it would still take 27 years to see all of them.

If you are curious like me, give it a look. You will run into interesting sites like the http://www.thepurplestore.com a site that sells only "everything purple". ( I bet Marie from Breaking Bad would love that site )
Realtime is measured in whatever you need to measure it in.
Realtime means that the system will guarantee to perform its function within some timeframe. If it violates this (even by a nanosecond), it's failed. Think of the airbags in you car. If they function perfectly 2 seconds too late you simply don't care.

There are plenty of realtime (often termed hard realtime) systems where that action can take minutes or hours, but if it isn't performed by then lives can be lost.

The "realtime" people usually talk about is soft realtime. Trying to perform tasks as fast as possible (or within some average response time), but if the odd task takes longer that's OK.

Anything involving a dynamic open network would be soft realtime.

This is total B.S.

When you do a search on a travel website (including most airlines official sites) you are actually being served results from a GDS. These companies (Worldspan, Sabre, etc) pull in airline/hotel/etc availability and produce an a search and fulfillment API. They are the reason you can get a flight that connects across multiple different carriers.

I've built a number of successful OTAs (Online Travel Agencies, aka websites) and never once been asked to provide visitor IP addresses or cookies.

In the early days of the internet doing repeated searches would increase prices because these systems were designed for travel agents to do a small number of searches, and a spike in searches was a demand signal. Almost all demand based pricing has been eliminated from air and hotel because of internet "casual shoppers" and price wars.
Most often pre-IPO companies grant options not RSUs. And the lock-up period is a post IPO lockup designed to stabilize the price of a newly offered security while it finds its market.

The existence of a lock up period does not inhibit pre-ipo trading on the secondary market, though to be clear there is no truly liquid "secondary market" for most companies.

Maji, nice work. Enabling graph like functionality with linking records is an interesting addition. Any idea what performance looks like going 2 or 3 levels deep with a cross-linked graph of say 100k vertices and 500k edges?
But innovation doesn't work like that. It isn't that anybody will decide a good online dating process by committee. Rather, entrepreneurs will keep trying the ideas that they have until one blows up. Like so many things, we'll only recognize it after the fact.

In my experience, online dating has been noticeably way, way worse than other ways of meeting people. Meeting people through activity groups and friends of friends has consistently worked literally infinitely better for me. I.e., I've expended far more effort on online dating over the years, and had zero results (no relationships), and spent far less effort meeting people casually or through friends doing things I was already doing, and had lots of relationships that way.
So… we actually took significant steps to solve a real problem and we solved it?

I'm not sure how this is an argument against climate change.
> Meanwhile, women start putting in more effort than the guy once they have invested in the relationship, and it's probably due to the nesting instinct / biological clock.

I am not sure where you are getting this from. I just want to point out that existing data about who iniatiates divorces and break-ups would seem to contradict what you're saying.

According to a study published in the American Law and
Economics Review, women have filed slightly more than
two-thirds of divorce cases in the United States.[80]
There is some variation among states, and the numbers
have also varied over time, with about 60% of filings
by women in most of the 19th century, and over 70% by
women in some states just after no-fault divorce was
introduced, according to the paper. Evidence is given
that among college-educated couples, the percentage of
divorces initiated by women is approximately 90%.

... which will be completely useless if they use a tumbler. It's only a matter of time before feds become skilled techies. If they currently have anyone remotely capable on their staff -- and let me remind you, they somehow managed to acquire server images of Silk Road even though it was operating as a Tor hidden service, so apparently they do -- then those technically-capable staff members will strongly advise them to tumble those coins.
Whenever I hear warnings about the pace of change slowing down on Wikipedia, I have to wonder to what extent this is explained simply by (parts of) Wikipedia being "finished", in the sense that it is now only updating to keep up with current events as they happen, and not working on filling in gaps on subjects that are relatively static. For example, the articles on most well-known laws of physics are effectively "done", and, barring a major breakthrough in physics, aren't going to change much. This doesn't mean that they are somehow "dead".

So what fraction of articles on Wikipedia are "finished", and does this explain the apparent decline of Wikipedia in terms of contributors/contributions? I don't know if there's an easy way to answer this.
The Pareto principle is an amazing universal phenomenon.
we use zurb and it is appropriate to see this in a zurb blog post: zurb has what you need and not a whole lot else, so they clearly subscribe to this philosophy.

Book Review: Cyber War Will Not Take Place
I thought that the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UKUSA_Agreement) were the only nations the NSA was even pretending to not spy on.

It's my understanding that the British were thought to have stolen submarine detection technology from the French, and the French were widely accused of industrial espionage against US companies in the 1990s. I also vaguely remember a 60 Minutes piece in the 1990s about Germans fulfilling their military service obligations by committing industrial espionage against US companies.

It seems to me that politicians are playing to public opinion, while knowing full well that this is how the international relations game has been played for decades, if not forever.

I don't mind the classic HN layout - in fact I kind of like it because it's clean way to present information. And all the other designs of HN have added nothing but a reskin. Where as that one actually contributes a original (to HN) ideas itself.
> In the construction industry, a contract might not explicitly say that the building has to comply with local building, fire and electrical codes

In the public construction industry, every contract includes that language. It's superfluous, because no contractor that wants to keep his license violates those codes (all construction is inspected by local authorities).

Furthermore, in construction, those codes exist and are easily incorporated into contracts by reference, even non specifically ("all work will comply with local building codes and statutes"). Also, the liability for non-compliance, even if undetected by inspectors, is massive.

In the tech industry, I've seen "work will be performed to professional standards and best practices" and other such meaningless clauses, intended to give the contractee some standing for complaint if they aren't happy later, but it's hard or impossible to measure compliance to generic standards that mostly don't exist.

This is one reason why Engineers say that dorking around on computers isn't Engineering. They do have a point.

Most open source Java lib/framework that publish their JARs to the central Maven repository also publish their Source code and JavaDoc JARs as well. This is where I applaud the Java OSS community.
Filesharing site launches (Volafile.io)
Hello HN,

For quite some time I've been working on http://volafile.io, a real-time filesharing site that allows users to share files in 'rooms', each with a chat and a (live) list of files. It has advanced features like filtering, searching and it can even play most audio formats (mp3, ogg, opus etc.) directly on the page.

I would be very thankful for feedback on the idea, execution and even the current design.
Also I'm currently not making money of it, but plan to at least get expenses for the servers back with a 'donation' based model in the future. I can go more in-depth on that in the discussion.

Again, I'd be thankful for any feedback HN can give, plus I'll stick around to answer any question that might come up.

Edit: I've created a room for HN here: http://volafile.io/r/FK86r
So now even the FBI is saying these crazy virtual coins have actual value? A great day for Bitcoin indeed!
I wonder if this is more a matter of would-be participants being turned off or of a higher volume of readers giving individuals the sense that the site doesn't need them. (Probably an equal amount of both.)

I can't remember if there's a formal psychological term for the latter, but it's like how a person in trouble is better off being seen by one person than many (the many assume someone else is helping).

While I don't mean to sound ungrateful to the Wikipedia team and community for providing such a great resource, I've personally been turned off by all the calls for donations because they won't implement a few measly ads. It just seems kind of stubborn to me-- shifting the problem onto each individual user when money could be generated so painlessly. Even a little ironic considering the calls for donations get in the way of the user experience more than regular ads would.
Agree. In terms of web and user experience, realtime often just means way faster then before. If you had to wait a year before your computation is done, a day is essentially realtime.
Yup. Until a big brand-name jumps on one of the new free OS platforms and starts pushing a device hard, the public isn't going to care. If, say, Sony decided to commit hard to Tizen then you might start hearing about it. Samsung is going to be testing the water very gently because they're so heavily committed to Android, and they're co-steering Tizen.
I think Terence Tao is one of the few professors in mathematics for whom the professorship market is truly liquid, and his salary history reflects that. His salary has skyrocketed to over $430k:

http://ucpay.globl.org/index.php?campus=&name=Terence+Tao&ti...

All the faculty getting paid more than him tend to be physicians and surgeons.

For comparison, the average pay of a tenured professor at Harvard (highest paying university on average) is "only" $198k: http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2013/4/10/harvard_salaries... Tao isn't even at Harvard and he's paid over double the average for tenured faculty there. I can only assume UCLA is forced to match what he could get if he left to a place like Harvard.

Thank you for the effort. Good edit summaries are really helpful to other editors - that fact is not well explained as you're trying to save an edit.
It's a frequently thankless job. Now (thanks to concerted effort by the Wikilove project) thanking an editor for a specific edit is now easy and tidy with a single click of "thank" in the edit history. They're notified by an upcount in their red notification box - no messy Talk page spam.
My point is that little things are gradually improving.
Most people needing live help editing Wikipedia can access IRC easily using this freenode webchat link: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=wikipedia-en-help . You really don't have to wonder about why edits are reverted - you can ask in real time. This help channel is intended for new editors, but edit warring is certainly a topic well asked about.
The site looks like it is probably real, but Bible quotes don't typically help your credibility:

>Be careful about the knowledge you will receive about radiation and the effects on our planet, my heart is heavy with sorrow for my children and the next generation that must deal with our failures. Warning from the Bible: Now as for you, Daniel, roll up your scroll and seal your words until the time of the end. Many will rush around, while knowledge increases. (Daniel 12:4) For with much wisdom there is much sorrow; the more someone adds to knowledge, the more someone adds to grief. (Ecclesiastes 1:18)

As people will surely pile on to tell you, the vast majority of trips taken are no more than a few miles.

If U.S. cities had proper cycling infrastructure, I would expect many more adults would use bikes for local travel. But as it is, driving is certainly more reasonable for many people when the alternative is biking on a shoulderless road with deadly vehicles passing inches away from you.

I like Knockout, and have used it in several production systems. It has been a tremendous help in getting rich interactive UI on web apps.

Having said that, the mistake I made early was to use ko.mapping.fromJSON and fromJS to blindly generate the view model, which turns every field into an observable. It was very easy to get going and get it working fast, but I ran into performance problem later on with hundreds or thousands records. The advice to take the time to build your own view model and decide which field needs to be observable and which field can stay plain old Javascript object is very sensible.
Well thanks for the feedback and all, but I was actually looking for opinions of people who have not been around the entire time ;)
This is really something, thanks for the link.
That would cause any particular user to leak what user on the site they were. In other words, if I connect with https to lavabit normally, anyone watching my connection knows I went to lavabit, but don't know what account I am associated with. If I have to hit a subdomain specific to my user, then they know.
It seems to me that reputation works better in the free market than the government "market". I don't know why that is, but I suspect it has to do with the same rules for the bidding process that are meant to decrease corruption, but also tend to entrench contractors.
