"I find it a little offensive that because I agree with a certain law it means my morality is dictated by the state."

You misunderstand, and from there you argue based on your misunderstanding. No one is saying that just because you agree with a certain "law it means [your] morality is dictated by the state.", rather, your morality just happens to overlap with the state, meaning you are past that stage of moral development (at least regarding that particular issue).

Also, your claim of offense and then your sarcastic apology don't do anything to further the conversation, avoid such rhetorical sub-tactics in the future.

If anyone who wants to somehow argue that Stratfor is evil incarnate thus rendering Hammond's sentence unjust, I invite you to first read some of their stuff:

http://www.stratfor.com/free-reports

Disclosure: I'm a subscriber, and have been for a number of years now, and find most of the Stratfor-bashing that inevitably (and predictably) happens in these discussions to be void of any understanding of what they actually produce. So, please read up and then tell us why the fact that he attacked a private forecasting company somehow makes his sentence unjust.

I would try to look at this in a different way: Is there some kind of flexibility that your employer could offer you in return that would allow it to ask for this kind of flexibility from you? If there is, why is this a problem?

Looking at things more historically, yes we are seeing work show up in more areas of our lives, but we are also getting a bunch of flexibility in return: e.g. who has set work hours? who needs to get approval to go on vacation? Is anyone tracking your time in/out of the office? when there isn't some emergency, can't you just leave work any time you want to take care of personal business?

Maybe it depends on where you work, but I don't find myself worrying about this kind of stuff. And to be fair, I don't ever have the experience of "the boss asking me to make him a spreadsheet at 7PM for the next day" but I have had the "this server just fell over and users are complaining, can you help debug it right now?" experience.
I did, but I think that although my examples are about security issues this is another bounty program by the same company, why would they have a different behavior?

>>> Is unreasonable sentencing a good "deterrent"?

Your statement is debatable, but since Federal Sentencing Guidelines are set by the United States Sentencing Commission, we don't have much say either way.

It's debatable because most states don't prosecute computer crimes and simply pass the cases to the Feds for a number of reasons. Had Hammond been tried in a state court, there is a high probability his sentence would be a lot less.

Also you have to take into effect how the feds should combat the increasing issue of hacktivism without steep jail times. I seriously don't have any answers, but I'd be interested to find out how you think you can stop this sort of stuff from happening again.

This was thoroughly disappointing.

I was hoping to see a discussion of how to separate out the structure of bootstrap and the appearance of bootstrap so that as you grow and change you have neat separation of concerns and single reaponsibility.

Instead, they trotted out the old "<div class="nav"> is bad, <nav> is good" semantic web fetishism. And while yes, nav seems easier for a robot to understand, As soon as you start defining custom components you loose much of that robotic awareness because now you have to program the parser to handle unanticipated element types, and mis-use of element types. So on net you're at best a little better off than you were with <div class="nav"> And definitely more complicated.

I'd love for someone to prove to me how semantic naming actually helps. To me it seems like the XML vs JSON debate where we are piling complexity on chasing after an impossible goal of machines being able to consume data without having to know the context of the data. Unless I am missing something, I think we'll look back at this period of time in HTML structuring and scratch our heads like we are doing now at the XML fad.
Ah, I have used both, but I also haven't been using OS X for the past couple years. One of them, I didn't remember which, was actually a PPC program that required a Rosetta to work. At some point it stopped working, and I switched to the other.

Since I hadn't used them in a while, I forgot which was which. However, some further research says that Disk Inventory X was the PPC program. In that case, I'd also recommend GrandPerspective.

Your parent comment sounded like you said that Nazis are not fascist. Fascism is a broad historical tradition, and of course contains Italy, Nazis, and a whole host of other terrible stuff. I should know: fascists are my enemies, as they're directly ideologically opposed, and there's a long history there, as well as personal, real-world political work.

Anyway, I think the fine line of disagreement here is that I personally see "Nazi apologist" as someone who is an apologist for _all_ of National Socialism, not just certain policies. You may be correct that today, people could consider anyone who's denying the holocaust to be a "Nazi apologist."

Does that make sense?

I realize there is a minimal version of YouTube search on the front page right now, but I thought I'd throw my fleshed out version of a video search tool in to the ring. My friend submitted this page to reddit a couple days ago and after getting 150+ upvotes in ~1 hr, it was shadow shadow banned by the mods before hitting the front page... I'm hoping you guys will get to see and enjoy.

The main purpose of the site is to build and share collections of videos. I built this tool to help with that. You can search and watch videos at the same time as well as save entire collections of videos from this page.

The idea is to make it easy to find relevant videos around broad subjects and niche interests by making it easy for people to curate videos around the things they care about.
How do you mean "Knuth won"? Can you paraphrase the paper? I couldn't find a one phrase or proof of this "winning".

Here is what Dijkstra said:

> "The go to statement as it stands is just too primitive; it is too much an invitation to make a mess of one's program.
"

How does Knuth win that?

In any case, I think there is a popular understanding of that phrase. It entered folklore to mean something else and regardless if that something else is different, it does make sense.

Excessive GOTOs complicate code and create a spaghetti mess. Today we don't need scientific papers on it. That is how I understand it.

The general idea is that there are better construct and better paradigms out there. Not all programming construct are strictly equal in practice. Yes all languages that are Turing complete can do the same kind of things. We know the theory. But it turns out some paradigms are better than others. OO programming, despite it being hated and derided today, was a better idea that writing lots of GOTOs. Functional programming with immutable data-structures does make sense in a distributed and concurrent environment. STMs compose better than locks and mutexes and so on.

Redisplaying YouTube content on other websites is explicitly allowed. Ads run in the embedded player, which they made easily available and usable on purpose.

Xilinx actually has (had?) a visual designer tool for their FPGAs in their IDE, allowing you to connect signals between blocks and do other stuff. It didn't work well and made for unmanageable designs. I've heard similar things about complex LabView programs becoming unmaintainable spaghetti code, although I don't know if that's actually true or not (never used it myself).
I think you could argue that including a 3d printing api in the os is premature at this point. It could do more harm than good to get in between applications and their target devices when 3d modeling file formats are not yet mature.

Ask HN: Dynamic Stateless Sites Using Semantic Web Annotations?
Hello,

I had an idea which I'm trying to evaluate for feasibility. I'm not primarily a web developer, just FYI, so I could be very off with this idea.

Anyway:

My idea is to use Middleman to render a static website interwoven with Javascript-based dynamic views driven by semantic web / schema.org annotations. The result would be a page which dynamically summarizes other pages, without the need for a standing database.

Example:

Each person in a research organization has a personal landing page. Every research project has its own landing page. Researcher landing pages who are annotated as having worked on project X and Y will display a block summarizing their research projects with image links to them. Likewise, on the project landing page the researchers who participate in the project will show up as tiles in a block on that project's landing page.

Is this possible? Is it being done? Are there any static website rendering tools which are backed by a graph which fit this mentality?

If so, it seems like it would be a very powerful platform for High Scalability.

Thanks,
Joshua

Hacking YC After Being Rejected - MELD, the GitHub for music
mymeld.com

We've been rejected from YC a couple times, but we think we have a hack to get in. Some background, we're the founders of SoundBrush, an iPad app that lets you draw music. To date, we have 300k+ downloads, with thousands of dollars in app sales; yet we realize this is not a billion dollar opportunity. From our experience in the industry, and from talking to our users we've identified that the true opportunity lies in the discovery and collaboration of creative content. This is how MELD was born.

MELD is the GitHub for music.

It allows musicians, producers, and fans to track and comment on all stages of music creation.

We would love your feedback on our MVP at mymeld.com

Thanks for the thorough reply. It's interesting to hear your take on the pricing. Based on my own pricing $120 also seems reasonable to me, but the opposite opinion has been expressed as well.

Over time hopefully the guys will be able to lower production costs with volume, but for now the margins are pretty slim.
I think the level of polish and usabbility this has combines with the standard printing interface will be good for 3d printing in general.
