I agree that the full end-to-end encryption is an awesome feature, though it is very recent. And I didn't even know about the TIPC support.
As this picks up more media attention, the total number of customers that this will deter will greatly offset the $3,500 fine the company may end up receiving. Karma will prevail.
since the tops are thin sheet metal, and the bottoms are circuit boards, i don't think we'll see mating surfaces there.

but they could probably make some side grooves, and little cutouts for spring loaded latches to catch on.

add some cutouts on the front that something could grab onto, and you might be able to avoid the need for the sled and screws, without building up an entire latticework out of drives.

there probably needs to be structure to hold the back plane(s) and line them up with the drives, anyways.

Just curious, is that image really what printscreen on a mac produces?
I agree with what you're saying. I just wouldn't follow this dogmatically. To me it boils down to what's DRY, maintainable, and easy to refactor. I do use more abstract class names that have no presentational meaning, but that's only because it's a bundle of styles used in a lot of places, like a heading repeated all over. Or maybe it's a component with a bunch of interrelated elements. But there are one-off situations where I've used <p class="color-offwhite"> or <p class="color-brand font-size-sm">. I also find using grid classes directly is easy to maintain. Using grid classes directly also means you've separated most of your layout concerns. So separating concerns can happen in different contexts. OK, I'm done rambling.
Satya Nadella is a software company guy with the vision to turn Microsoft around. Does Nadella get picked this time around or in 4-5 years after a biz guy continues steaming ahead in Ballmer's shoes?
Right, I agree about both this ventures potential for covering and at the same time there are tons of suckers. My comment was just more to the fact that companies currently claiming they can deliver at $3/GH/s haven't actually been able to. I'll pick on cointerra since they have a banner that calls out their price of $3/GH/s. They were supposed to have delivered in November or December and now it's late January. When they do actually deliver in February (if they deliver at all) the miners that come on line will likely be producing at a loss for their buyers. KNC is delivering at $6/GH/s in December and they are sold out.
And ironically, MS is the one which can prevent Amazon from doing bad things. Since it's a very large company with a lot of resources and they invest heavily in Azure. Google stands near with its compute engine. And there's bunch of smaller companies ready to compete. I think this market isn't in danger of monopolization.
Yes, that's interesting. I think the decision to keep the Taurus brand was a mistake, since Ford tarnished it with too many shitty cars over the years. They have some really good brands (Fiesta, Raptor SVT, even Focus) but I would consider Taurus irreparable, just like FrontPage.

The company logo needs an update too, IMO.

And they have an incredible iconic brand, "Model T", I think they would do well to use it again.
It may be a crime to link directly to a zip file containing the data in an IRC chat, as we saw with Barrett Brown [1].

That made me reconsider even posting this Wikileaks page to HN (yay chilling effect). But I'm not aware of any criminal law preventing you from reading published content on Wikileaks or submitting a link to them on a social media site.

Reviews are a tough spot. On the one hand, reviews can be very damaging to businesses, so it is important that some measures are in place to ensure that the review is honest and genuine, and on the other hand its important that consumers can openly review a product/company without being scared of reprisals.

Clearly, in this case, KlearGear are in the wrong, but I also think that there are cases where legitimate businesses have been seriously damaged by competitors, or just difficult customers writing unfair bad reviews.

Unfortunately the only solution to this I can think of would be a review of reviewers, which would just confound the problem.
1. Before even you start interviewing - search on tech sites such as Techcurnch, GigaOM or Hacker News (this site). What you need to see is how many companies if any have been mentioned in the same space doing similar things. If you find some, it means you are already 2-3 years behind in the game. Then the key question is how you can differentiate?

2. It is not only about how may people you can interview. Sometimes you may be able to interview the segment you want but they might not understand if the product or service you are going to offer is going to be a game changer. For example, I was chatting with a friend in 2005 about how people were using a PC because we were looking buy some PC related stocks. Our observation was that most of the people are using them to browse the web. Netbooks were not there yet and there were no signs of iPhone and the iPad. If you were to interview consumer at that point or even tried fundraising from VCs, they were pretty happy with the PC they had and there was no need for an iPad. But if you look today - iPad is what everyone wants to buy today. Similarly Facebook and Instagram or Facebook and Snapchat. What Instagram did or Snapchat is doing - was/is already being done on the Facebook except the differentiators weren't there.

3. While the market research is a must, your idea shall not completely depend on it. Instead the focus should be on what problem your trying to solve and the market for it - e.g. for iPad it was a need for small and portable device that can be used to browse web and manage daily digital activities. For Snapchat - teenagers wish to keep their affairs separate than their parents since Facebook let everyone in.

4. Startups are about creating new markets the data you may not be able to find from the research companies or the government databases. In my humble opinion, most of the research companies look into the rearview mirror to determine the road ahead.
Silicon never ceases to amaze me. While much of the research in solid state physics these days is around novel materials like graphene, silicon continues to dominate solid-state applications including all conventional computer processors and most solar cells and will prove incredibly hard to unseat in these areas. Now it appears to be a leading contender for quantum computing platforms. It's an earth-abundant material with billions of research dollars poured into it to support computing, so seeing progress in silicon quantum computing means real hope for applications.
I'm running into more people that are proud to know nothing deeply. "Why bother? I know how to search on Google! I can learn!" I'm glad this article doesn't buy into it.

Sure, the knowledge is out there and you can acquire it over time, but without having internalized that knowledge and given time for strong intuition to develop, you're not going to be nearly as effective.

we already have laws that deal with this sort of thing (which has been going on in print media for hundreds of years). online reviews are no different
This talk of legality is fine and honorable. And I'd certainly stand by it if the law applied to the opposite party respectively. However, those in power are not only in position to craft the law, they're also exempt from it. Until this injustice resolved, I will support people like Swartz, Anonymous, et al.
I strongly suspect the PS4's UI is neither truly client-side nor offline.

I don't disagree that there's a lot wasted but I'd probably have made the same trade-off given the circumstances.

The PS4's UI isn't particularly resource-constrained as far as I know and it's often easier to start with a familiar environment with everything and the kitchen sink than to start with nothing and hand-pick blocks along the way. Plus based on Sony's past in-house UI performance, the "glue libraries together from floor 0" approach wasn't working out for them.

So far the PS4's UI is getting good reviews and is generally described as "responsive" so it sounds like they didn't really lose - in a modern device where you'll end up porting a browser anyway I don't see why using it for UI is such a sin.

> The inability or refusal of programmers to accept <paradigm> is the main thing holding back software development.

Visual programming with streams is nothing new, nor is it maligned or ignored. Pure Data is a good example of a domain where it has been a popular choice for several decades.

There are limitations that come with the flow abstraction, and there are strengths that plain text will always have over other approaches.

Having awareness of the diversity of programming paradigms and tools is a good thing, but looking for a silver bullet in any particular approach is surely not a good thing.
I do not disagree with you, though I think focusing on whether these things are qualities or skills misses the broader point that I was trying to make (that this list is a tool that helps me be introspective about the progress I'm making towards becoming a good programmer). It's my fault for not communicating it more clearly.

I agree that curiosity, tenacity, perseverance, patience, and imagination are all qualities that good programmers have, but when thinking about how I can improve, I find the question "How can I be more curious?" less helpful than "How can I be more systematic when I'm debugging?"

Review of reviewers is totally the way to go! It sounds like a "now you have two problems" situation, but it really isn't. Starting from the one reviewer of reviewers you know you can trust (yourself) you can build out to a network of trusted reviewers.

If anyone's interested in working on open source solutions to this problem, feel free to email me. It's kind of my thing:)
This story has the stench of meltdown on it. Like when Jack Thompson slowly lost his sanity, when Charles Carreon lost his marbles when dealing with The Oatmeal, or basically the entire Rightshaven situation...

I have the strong suspicion that this has the potential to get much uglier and more bizarre. Going after this woman three years after she left her comment is not something that a sane company/legal representative in a good position decides to do.
Sadly the valuable link juice and unintentional promotion from any media outlets that pick it up from this could actually do them better in the long term. Whilst people will soon forgot their appalling behaviour, the search engines don't. At least that's what I have observed in the past, things may have changed since then.

Computer printers enabling home publishing might make it harder to enforce libel laws, but a shift in enforcement difficulty need not require new laws.

The real question is, what does it really mean for something to "be a crime," and does it really matter? If you mean could the US government do anything it wanted to you because you read one of the emails, then the answer is a definite yes.
Yeah, a web of trust style weighting of friends-of-friends-of-friends isn't a bad idea at all. Current social networks doing that sort of thing tend to only care about immediate friends, which is only very narrowly useful. Good luck with your project.

It depends what you value more: best or cheap.

For cheap, there are plenty of options: the San Francisco public library has many branches, is clean, quiet, and does not restrict what protocols you use on their wifi. (e.g., ssh is allowed) If you're willing to pay for a coffee, the Capital One 360 Café at 101 Post St also has wifi with unrestricted protocols, as well as any Philz coffee location.

For something that resembles an office, try NextSpace, which is $25 for a day-pass, at 28 2nd Street near Market Street.

As the blog post kindly submitted here points out, the company's conduct appears to be fraudulent, and there isn't the tiniest chance that the woman who made a legitimate factual statement about the company in an online review will have to pay even one cent to the company. Good on Popehat and other sites for spreading the word about how scummy that company is. (By the way, the title of the submission here is misleading, and is not the original blog post title. Popehat's title is "New From KlearGear: Free Speech, Only $3,500 Plus Shipping And Handling," and that even fits the length limit imposed by Hacker News.)

The TV news report that got this story rolling:

http://www.kutv.com/news/features/gephardt/stories/vid_474.s...

AFTER EDIT: To answer the question that has come up, which I think is adequately answered by the submitted blog post, companies can report consumers to credit bureaus for nonpayment, including nonpayment of civil judgments. But when those reports are fraudulent, as here, the consumer can also dispute the report, and the consumer should be able to come out with a clean credit record in the end. MANY years ago, my wife ordered a product by mail order, and we discovered the product was defective, and returned it. The company still wanted to bill us, and sent us a letter threatening to report us to a credit agency if we didn't pay. I simply wrote that the product was defective and that we had returned it and we disputed the company's point of view on the company's demand letter, and sent that back by return mail. That was the end of the matter, back in those days. We have a very clean credit history. I speak my mind whenever I think I have been ripped off.

i don't remember where this idea originally came from, but programming languages aren't tools that you build programs with, they're the materials out of which you build programs. no material is best suited for use in every structure. the combination of different materials in the same structure could also have catastrophic effects. so, if you know a programming language really well and you build all your programs out of it, there'll be times that you're causing yourself difficulty. but, if you use all of and only those languages that are as perfectly suited to the many problems that your program has to solve, you may end up with a brittle program through effects too indirect to see. or, the combination of materials could have other unforeseen effects, like maybe it dissolves living tissue.

It's shocking that only now I realize just how incredibly bad YouTube has become.
>Could you elaborate?

A major source of complexity, in my opinion, are the different pointers: owned pointers, managed pointers, borrowed pointers (mutable and immutable), each with its own syntax and rules for use. And all three seem to be everywhere. I actually understand pointers in C (mostly!), yet I struggle to remember all the use cases for pointers in Rust. Here's the tutorial on just borrowed pointers:
http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/tutorial-borrowed-ptr...
I'm sure I could understand learn the rules given some time, but now that I've played around with D and Nimrod, I'm wondering why I should. I can get excellent performance without using pointers, yet I can access a pointer if I absolutely need one.

>So I don't think you can really make an unqualified statement like that.

I agree that unqualified statements about the relative performances of language implementations are tenuous, and so I retract that statement. But it's clear that Nimrod can reach ballpark C++/Rust/Go speeds, even without GC specifically turned off, based on both my own usage and this benchmark:

1. http://togototo.wordpress.com/2013/08/23/benchmarks-round-tw...

Now, it's quite possible that we're not getting optimal performance out of Rust because we're not writing idiomatic Rust, but this hurdle is at least partly a function of my first point.

EDIT: I should add that I think Rust may well find itself in a very strong position among systems and embedded programmers, given the fine control and safety it offers. But for your average programmer just looking for a faster language to use when Python or Ruby won't suffice, Nimrod (and D with shared library support) is a very nice alternative.
Why must it have been "someone" else who wrote it for me? I wrote it.
Funny you mention this because a friend and I were sick of video game review sites leaving obviously paid for 10/10 reviews (here's looking at you, Eurogamer). So we put together plans to build a "review the reviewers" website where people could leave feedback on a particular reviewers integrity, honesty, trends and so on.

We never did finish it but I have lots of code, docs, ideas and research from that time and I'd be happy to help with your idea if you pursue it.
Does $6 bln include the land? Seems kinda cheap if we're talking California, leave alone the fact that the price will "suddenly" go up, when a landowner discovers that his tract is included in the design.
Yes, it is planned. I have most of the design figured out and just need to work out a few issues with revoking a developer's access. You're the first person to ask specifically about this feature, which is good motivation to take it off the back burner :-).

In the meantime, you can accomplish this by storing the git-crypt key in the repository, but encrypted using GPG with multiple recipients (much like your approach). Then you wrap `git-crypt init` in a script that first decrypts the key using GPG before feeding it to `git-crypt init`. To add a new developer, you just re-encrypt the git-crypt key with an additional recipient.
Possibly the most important part.
