Yeah, we hate them too (and I'm Russian). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When we go on vacation, we try to choose a hotel with less Russians (fluent English helps, since not a lot of my countrymen are comfortable with it yet). Still, somehow EVERY time there's this irritating-lady-with-unbelievably-loud-whiny-child or that always-drunk-and-very-loud-about-it
middle-aged man, they always turn out to be our countrymen. That's not EVERY Russian tourist, mind you, not even a majority of us, but the reverse is, sadly, true - most of those unbearable people are Russian.

Those tourists are kind of like piracy (naval piracy, not digital): due to a very particular mix of historical coincidences, a group of incredibly pronounced jerks have gained considerable power and now they're everywhere. Thing is - those tourists you see everywhere are people of VERY PARTICULAR social and financial standing. In short - they are most likely new to that kind of money (vast majority of Russians don't have enough to go on vacation abroad), they are VERY insecure about it (as in - need to prove, mostly to themselves, that it's not temporary), they're under a lot of pressure (because they're not actually sure why it's THEM getting decent money and not everyone around and because there's a lot of competitors) and they don't know how to handle themselves (once again - they're pretty new to this).

Let's just hope that, like pirates, they will soon become extinct. And for now, on behalf of Russian people at large - we're sorry.
Actually... Crime rates (homicide rates) are starkly similar across the border:

http://www.unitednorthamerica.org/images//MurderRate2007.jpg

The dangerous US cities in some other border states throw off the perception, but there is a heck of a lot of difference between Detroit and Toronto other than law enforcement!

In general, it's the rust belt and deep south and Mexican border states which skew US homicide rates; the parts which border Canada have similar homicide rates to Canada (again aside from rust best + Illinois).

It's actually a bit funny - states near Canada have similar homicide rates to Canada. States near Mexico have similar homicide rates to Mexico (much lower than Mexico, but higher than some other states). States near the Caribbean have rates like the Caribbean (again much lower than the Caribbean, but again higher than other states).

Not sure how the mid Atlantic states work into that analogy, haha :)
Qt, MPRIS2 and Clementine
That's a really damned cool proof. Why is it formulated as n+1 instead of merely n?
Situations like these are how I justify keeping a low power 24/7 box on at home. In situations where I don't have my own (trusted) connection, I'll just ssh tunnel a SOCKS5 proxy to my home server. I only have a residential internet connection at home, but 2mbps is surprisingly snappy for casual or emergency on the go web browsing. With boxes out there (e.g. rPi) that push power consumption far south of 10W, it makes even more sense to do this now.

Of course, it also doubles as an IRC idler/whatever else you can think of.
"subtle - adjective 1. (esp. of a change or distinction) so delicate or precise as to be difficult to analyze or describe."

The xbox one is big, bulky, and not svelte.

This extends beyond the console dimensions, however. It has an external power brick, you can't stand it upright, and you can't stack another box on top of it due to the fan placement. Whereas the xbox one might camouflage better with your other AV boxes, the ps4 does a better job of subtly getting out of your way.
There are processing fees built into the system, so not it's not 0%. As mining rewards drop these may have to rise in compensation.

Most people can't mine, and would have to eat fees.

Further to that, BTC is a terrible step backwards for consumers as chargeback is not there. The cost for amazon to introduce consumer protections like this (that may be required by law in some places) is likely to dwarf credit card fees.

Yes, you can configure most browser to use proxy. So, I think, you can set the none proxy (or valid) for https and some invalid proxy ip for http, so you cannot connect to any http server.
Undo is hard? With web apps most developers complain that it's actually too hard to delete things so they use a delete flag instead...
not saying Docker prevents it but it is hardly widespread. Unless you use Go or a few other languages your toolchsin won't even create static binaries for a start.

Sorry, you're right. I misremembered. You can't directly edit articles in which you have a conflict of interest, however you can (and are encouraged to) request edits on the talk page, provide sources, write drafts, etc. Often these paid editors will have experienced volunteers they collaborate with who work with them to ensure the proposed edits meet Wikipedia's guidelines. It's a sort of hands-off editing by proxy, but there very much are paid editors working on articles about their employers -- they just don't edit the articles directly.
It's not job cancellation, your view is such that unless you undo, that's reality (you can confirm this by browsing in a separate window, your non-undone actions have taken place).

What Google is doing is (at least for deletes on mails) is equivalent to a database transaction rollback. So they have a tiny (likely 1-entry) transaction log that they keep per user, and if the user desires, they can use it to fully reverse any operation that is undoable aka reversible.

I suppose it works different for email sends you can undo - in that case it is job cancellation.
Ruby On Rails State of Practice Results
We, on HN, all have an idea of the tech behind this, but to the user, it is still perceived as an undo action, and that's what I believe the point of the author was.
Whoops, you're totally right! I misread the comment I responded to. Melanin is only useful when radiation is emitted. It can't coerce decay to happen more quickly.
Unified Memory in CUDA 6
I don't think that undo has much to do with the type of app, but rather with its design. So mobile, web and desktop apps should be able to offer similar functionality. At least for delete many sites are using a deleted flag anyway, which should be easily reversable. Getting back even part of the content might be worthwile.

In your example, if user 1 doesn't see the edits of user 2 there's a bigger problem. Undo would be liniar.
It slows some things like computer purchases. Puts a lag on a variety of things.

Doesn't Drive, just like Dropbox, simply version everything similar to a source control system?

Using the optimistic locking pattern, this would mean that Alice could undo, and if Bob then makes changes referring to Alice's entry, it'd be pointing to a previous versioned entry (Alice's undo would simply copy version n-2 and make it version n while Bob would be pointing or editing version n-1)

Lawful Interception (LI) – Retained data handling – Handover interface
We here at Webflow went through great lengths to implement the command pattern in our web designer. It has definitely paid off when we tell our users they can just hit Cmd+Z and Cmd+Shift+Z anytime they make a mistake.

That said, it's really difficult for webapps to fully support undo/redo. A lot of the web is transactional, and different actions trigger follow on actions. GMail does a really good job with its undo, but there's a reason it goes away after 10, 15 seconds!

One year's worth of productivity does not mean it's redeemable. I'm not sure what the immediate material assets of the USA are, but it's substantially less than the USA is worth, yes.

For up to about two weeks, until it adjusts to the new, lower norm, and de/inflation continues at the same rate as before. But technically true over that period, yes.
But seriously, this is almost entirely bullshit. I've used IDEs for a long time, and they just don't encourage the problems you're describing here. Bad developers do, and that's totally independent of your language or your editor. Maybe you don't have to work on million line projects but lots of people do, and maybe, just maybe, it's not their fault and maybe, just maybe, there are totally valid reasons that their projects are like that. It is my opinion that mere editor "users" (because seriously folks, many of you are the kind of people who can't get off your high horse) never understand that, and refuse to accept that perhaps other people might like different tools or work in different scenarios than they do.

And yes, I used Emacs for 8 years. You couldn't pay me enough to go back.
Bruteforce techniques are indeed evolving.

Before I switched my sshd ports a few weeks ago, I often saw break in attempts on my servers that would imply checking only a single username and a single password.

My guess on that is that bruteforcers, rather than testing thousands of usernames with thousand of passwords on a single host will try a single username and single password on thousands of hosts.
You can read anything on Quora if you add ?share=1 to the end of the URL.
Given that Microsoft's primary threat right now is from SAAS / PAAS and browser-based, OS-independent tools, I'd say Microsoft's fear of Netscape was well-founded. Its error was in thinking that it could dispatch that threat by killing off the competitor. To borrow an overused metaphor, the problem wasn't Al Qaeda, but terrorism. It wasn't the specific competitor, but the technology and development model it represented.

And much in the same way: you can't really defeat a technology. As we now see with Microsoft, very slowly, responding to the threat by providing its own offerings, despite the considerable revenue threat this creates for the company. As with other fallen tech giants, it's turning increasingly to patent revenues and other forms of extractive revenue rather than productive activities.
Because n! + 1 can be prime, so from n! + 2 to n! + n you only get n - 1 numbers.

Cocoa offers the same undo implementation as described here with "NSUndoManager" where, for each action, you add the opposite action to an undo stack.

As a pattern it is proven to work. It just consumes memory and servers might not scale as well as a desktop app in this regard.

If the undo/redo stacks don't grow too long and the operations are simple enough in nature it might work though.
How many of you are actually engaging non-technical people on this topic?

Here's a(nother) case where the actual title of the article doesn't reflect what the article itself says. In the article, it says the senators say they "have seen no evidence", not that no evidence exists.

There is absolutely no problem implementing undo on the web with restful interfaces. I just built a quite complex data management application where almost anything is undoable in a very Photoshop way (you see the "History" pane in your UI and can undo whatever you desire). If something is not undoable there it's either a bug or NIY (not implemented yet).

The product is hardcore JS single page application backed by document oriented database, JSON, REST, buzz, buzz, buzz, etc.
There was a vpn provider (which I cannot remember now for the life of me) where if any traffic went over non-VPN it wouldn't work.
Running a 2400 Akka Nodes Cluster on Google Compute Engine
This is funny, as in my career I've seen a number of domains, and built (web) systems which required a form of undo. You just don't see it too often in the PHP/Ruby crowd because it's hard to get right and each implementation has inherent limitations.

Luckily there has been work on patterns since the CoF Command/Memento: the Event Sourcing pattern (http://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/EventSourcing.html) can be used to implement system-wide undo functionality.
Or you could use your imagination and empathy to try and try to understand how "It isn't that simple". Both are important engineering, design and entrepreneurial skills.

It is probable that a single machine gets a /64 ipv6 range, but the first 64 bits are consistent.
When ipv6 gets more common it will probably be more acceptable to block an entire /64 if you suspect a brute force attack.
I agree with your underlying sentiment.

However, it's narrow to use a term like leftist. An arbitrary left vs. right political spectrum is completely fallacious and antiquated. There are only cosmetic differences for beliefs built upon the same underlying ideology of an allegiance to a current state system. People with philosophical backbones strong enough to have independent thoughts do not fall into rigid scales. They have varying thoughts and tolerances. Such political terms continue to become undefined, propaganda, and contradictory depending on the person using them.

> "capitalist corporations"

"Capitalist corporations" are the direct result of corporate states serving corporate law. The irony in your comment is strong. Blackwater and its derivations became powerful specifically because of [the many] having their labor (e.g. taxation) and choice (e.g. systemic control) forcefully deferred to [the few] of the state (in its singular, arbitrary version of existence). The rest of the US military is already nearly wholly dependent on so-called private interests. Realistically, there is no difference between private and public entities on this same platform. Either an entity is accountable to such oligarchical 'control' or it is not.

> Free market

Like most terms that become distorted and perverted through political propaganda, a "free market" can have wildly different meanings. You may find that you support a freer market.

A free market as some people define it is one in which groups of trade (businesses) are less powerful because "corporations" would not exist in law. People would exist. Business would exist. Legal buffers from responsibility of actions would not exist. Those buffers currently afford the largest corporations of today the luxury of exploiting people and land through the use of government -- not only protecting directors from their violent actions but also increasing the platform where police/military force serves their corporate law. In a free market where abstract entities are not state-protected, all actions fall under the same domain of scrutiny. Frameworks of law as far as business is concerned would be relegated to protecting people from direct contractual fraud or abuse, only to the extent financial or physical damage is actually taking place. Therefore, egregious economic fines and prison sentences for non-violent actions that disobey corporate law would be a token of more brutal eras. Systems of this sort are often paired with models that give people, the public, more direct control over the flow of their own labor/money, thereby making it harder for abusive or surreptitious entities (e.g. every war/surveillance company) to gain vast power through the current top-heavy, centralized money pools of a government's taxation. A transition to more human freedom such as this isn't possible overnight; but it is worth aspiring to in the evolution of governmental systems. That's humanist.

Other people define a "free market" as a system in which corporations are still greatly protected yet even less susceptible to recourse by people. That's problematic.
Has anyone tried ICMP tunnels?
To be clear, they say that there is no evidence that bulk meta data surveillance is useful in catching terrorists.

Bulk metadata surveillance is however extremely useful in doing espionage against diplomats, which gives the US favorable hand in negotiations.

It also extremely useful in doing industry espionage, gifting US companies with stolen information (in return for favors? We don't know what Boeing gave NSA in return).

Its somewhat useful to hammer down on local political activists. Who dare to start a occupy movement, or a website dedicated to whistleblowers with NSA sipping through every email, every phone call, and perfect information about who meets with who?

Its possible useful in hammering down on political embarrassing entities like megaupload, giving the US foreign office and advantage when interfering in other countries justice systems.

People in the police and IRS is always thankful when they can do parallel construction, which in turn gives NSA support to continue.

I have a vague memory that out of 40 cases, only one is about terrorism. That might be wrong (or maybe it was about FRA), but if that is true, it would explain why NSA is doing bulk meta data surveillance in the face of the contradicted claims about its effectiveness in anti-terroism.
I second that. Stack Overflow is to discuss problems when developing, whereas Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi) is for reporting actual bugs and the support site is more about product support: http://support.mozilla.org/
For those who want to get it right: the "bright line" guideline is, never touch an article where you have a conflict of interest. (And if you need "conflict of interest" defined for you, just assume you have one, okay.)

This is not a Wikipedia rule, but it is true that if you are caught violating it the media and public will crucify you. And that's probably bad.
People that make articles like this are freakin' artisans, love the page.
Still seems pretty invasive to me! Especially considering that platforms like Steam has integrated in-game social networking features like chat, meaning that the game company could potentially pry into your private conversations.

I just went through it, it is actually difficult, but not THAT difficult. You don't flip a flag, you implement a Command pattern of sorts: instead of deleting an object you record the command "DELETE" along with the copy of the object. When you want to undo delete, you take this record, change "DELETE" to "CREATE" and submit this command to execution. Then all the constraint logic works as if you're creating the object from scratch, with possible conflict resolution along the way. Undo is easier if it's not an implementation of time travel but redoing something you did previously in the opposite direction.
That's interesting. Do you have any "really delete this data" requirements and if so, is it hard to deal with that with Datomic?

(sorry if question is dumb, I have near zero knowledge on both HIPAA and Datomic)
As I understood it, Snowden saw excessive (and illegal?) spying by the NSA on American citizens. He then spent time collecting information on these activities which he intended to leak. I find it interesting that somehow slides disclosing Australia's spying on Indonesia met his document collection criteria. The timing of the release of this particular part of his document collection is also highly suspect, as our newly elected government was working hard and well with Indonesian authorities to shutdown the people smugglers.
