Yes, this only works if you have Mavericks. It is called Safari Push Notifications because it's a push notification feature provided by Safari, to distinguish it from OS X's more general support for push notifications.

Safari also supports the "Web Notifications" specification[1], which allows a website to post a notification while it is open in Safari. This has been supported for a few releases now and is also available in some other browsers. I believe Gmail can make use of this to call attention to new emails while open in a background tab.

> If Ulbricht gets off on a technicality for the crime he's charged with, I wouldn't lose sleep over it. He's being charged with the hypothetical thoughtcrime of killing an internet persona (or two). To me, that feels like a technicality to begin with.

I'm sorry, we're considering hiring a hitman and paying them large amounts of money for what you believe to be a successful torture and execution as a thought crime now?!
Did not know what that was, just googled it.
Interesting, thanks!
There's a certain commonality there. It didn't matter whether any of Bin Laden's hard drives were encrypted; he was dead when we found him and he knew it.

Likewise, from a practical stand point once the Feds came knocking at DPR's front door the jig was up. While the extra evidence will no doubt add a couple of nails to the coffin when this finally goes to trial, chances were that if he was tracked down at all, there would be enough evidence to convict him on that paper trail alone.

Chances are this is just the standard "it's a lot harder to commit a perfect crime than you think it is." But it might also not be irrational to focus exclusively on not getting caught, and not worry so hard about all the extra evidence that will be scooped up with you.
>> But I don't know what he could be up to.
A couple of things come to mind. Not necessarily nefarious.
Firstly, I remember watching a TED video[1] by Steven's brother Conrad, which was passionate about using computers for teaching Mathematics. Perhaps this Pi initiative is less commercial than philanthropic and was initiated by Conrad.
Secondly, if you look at Wolfram's own blog post[2] on the Pi release of Mathematica, he talks about his new Wolfram Language far more than about the Pi platform. I suspect Steven Wolfram is as successful a business-person as he needs to be now, but he intends for his legacy to be as a revolutionary. I don't know this for sure, but Wolfram Language seems to be a beachhead for NKS in usable form.
I also speculate the common Britishness of these two organisations might have helped move this project forward.

Or women, who don't like how condoms feel. AFAIK, women are a lot more discriminating about whether or not sex feels any good.

Of course, the worst countries are probably the ones with lots of unregulated prostitution, so in those cases it's probably the men to blame.
A good low-equipment workout:

1. obtain stud finder, drill

2. buy two big steel hooks and put in ceiling in studs

3. buy olympic rings with adjustable straps and put in hooks

Put at chest height and do dips

Put near floor and do push-ups. Push-ups on rings are incredibly difficult.
You're making a very valid point. Thanks for the insight! :)

They certainly would, Martin Luther King Jr. would be one good example.

But I think they have public support in this case. Most people would be disgusted to know that Silk Road ever existed and would be happy it's gone.

But more relevant, perhaps, I don't believe that public support really matters here either way. DPR isn't a hero to many people, demonizing him isn't likely to affect popular opinion, or have any relevant political merit.

Trying to secure a conviction might be another matter, but even then I would think they would be certain that they had a solid case to begin with. I can't imagine they would fabricate evidence without anything concrete to back it up. It's not as if this is all they have, they would be insane to just toss some photoshops in to 'sweeten the pot' as it were.

Ask HN: Would you join a startup that doesn't test? Are tests impediments?
Met this great team at a startup running a (quite successful) webapp on a cloud hosting provider. They don't test their code at all (and instead run through tests manually before they push to production).

They say it's because they wanted to put something out there rather than focus on testing. Is that legit?

I like them a lot, but it makes me nervous that they don't have any test framework in place. I think they're open to testing now they are more stable. Thoughts?
There's nothing to suggest that anybody apart from him ever ran the site. The screw ups on StackOverflow and Bitcointalk point to him and nobody else.

I could not agree more. Acoustic treatment can dramatically change a rooms ambiance in an almost imperceptible way. It's amazing how voice volume goes down, because the listener can clearly hear you, so you don't have to raise your voice over the other conversations to be heard. Once you experience a well treated room, you long to return to it.

I also have wondered why more restaurants don't use sound treatment. I have noticed that the high class restaurants always have sound treatment. Don't these other restaurants know that if you install adequate sound treatment that you can charge more? Obviously not...

The only point that didn't ring true was on scaling. I think it makes more sense to scale while you have the money, and use that same money to deal with the issues that arise as you do so. Otherwise, you are leaving customers without your product for longer than you have to. And that could be their loss, not just yours.

That was the first hit, against chronicpain/flush. I'm referring to the other 5 hits from the Hell's Angel. The Feds aren't sure who he is or whether the hits even happened, they only know that DPR released payment for them so presumably the proof was acceptable to DPR.
Disclaimer: I haven't used Docker, not even once. I'll blame the current workload, because it's very much on my todo list, as I love(d) dotCloud.

With dotCloud though, deployments don't have any of that nonsense. Well, I suppose it does, but it was all part of the process. A simple `dotcloud push .` in a directory would run a script that 1) checked to see what servers and services (mysql, postgres, python, nginx, etc.) needed to be pushed to, 2) synced the code up to the server (can't remember if it was scp or rsync -- I think scp), 3) run migrations, 4) pip install requirements.txt.

My own process had a script in front of that to ensure that pushes came from commits, and I also had post-commit hooks that ran other tasks, but the act of deploying code to a dotCloud instance (which is essentially a Docker container) was never more complicated than `dotcloud push .`

Custom deployment Script for VMware & Kickstart for system imaging with post deployment configuration being Salt.

Salt was picked because it was both simple to get up and running and fairly powerful. Chef & Puppet were both evaluated first but salt clicked better with our environment. Additionally being packaged in EPEL, and running on the older system versions of python made it a lot easier to manage. Having a strong API opens up more opportunities.

The custom scripts are there to automate the system provisioning in VMWare.

Our infrastructure is run on our own hardware and use VMWare vSphere for virtualisation. As our workloads use larger instances (24gb of ram) and higher then average IOPS, we found it cheaper to run our own hardware (including labour costs). This is further helped by the fact our usage is fairly consistent and as such we are able to run much of our infrastructure at capacity (with a reasonable safety margin).

I am currently working building an interface that will combine the deployment, management, monitoring (performance and fault), networking and configuration across all the components of our infrastructure to make it more "Cloud Like" as the younger developers seem unable to perform even basic administration tasks that were expected of the older developers.
Nmap at a coffee shop
I was at a coffee shop where I could use nmap -sP -w [ip address range] to see some information on other devices (MAC address, devices brand ? (i think), and the computer name i.e. leslie-pc or holmes-HP)

Now I'm at Panera, and I can't seem to find any other devices using the same scanning method. (except for the default gate-way and myself).

My question is: At the coffee shop where I was able to see information on other devices on the same network, are those users more vulnerable to attacks than the Panera, where the scan was unsuccessful?
In my position as the Arbiter of Relevance, I presume to speak for all of you when I complain that articles about this issue don't belong on Hacker News.
I think the reason this persists is because everyone is doing it. Thus your open-plan, inefficient office is only competing with other equally open-plan, inefficient offices. We are all in a less-productive equilibrium together.

This of course gives those willing to make offices for everyone (like, say, Fog Creek) a competitive advantage. But your average corporate manager doesn't care about that. They still get their office and get paid.

I agree with your point.

However, the reason that I said "men" is that most of the time women aren't the problem. There are three main scenarios where condoms are helpful to society:

1) As a form of birth control. In this case the woman may not have access to other forms, and she has to rely on the man wearing a condom. If the man doesn't like it she is often left without options (particularly in jurisdictions where - unfortunately - consent laws are different for women who are married). Even if a women doesn't like sex with a condom she usually prefers it to yet-another-baby.

2) As a protection against sexually transmitted disease. A subset of that is sexually promiscuous women who dislike condoms (and in that case you are 100% correct - a condom which feels good to women will help). However, the other case - women who are paid to have sex - is unfortunately more common, and in that case the woman often has few options if the man doesn't want to wear a condom.

3) Gay Sex. Obviously this is really a subset of (2) above, but I'm putting it separately because it's quite a large vector for sexually transmitted diseases, and increased condom use would cut it dramatically.

A screen name on the internet, possibly a sock puppet, may or may not be tied to a real world person. He didn't have the capacity to visit this person in real life. He couldn't have possibly been sure whether it was a real person or not. He never met them, he never shook their hand, he couldn't have been sure of where they lived, because they didn't exist to begin with.

Another screen name claims to have the ability to reach out and eliminate the existence of this bothersome screen name. The only catch is that in order to have one user id destroy another user id, you have to part ways with an imaginary tally of digital crypto-currency.

This is not a case of high school classmates cyberbullying one another until one commits suicide. There was never any real world interaction, nor could there have been, because the target of the murder was always hypothetical. He couldn't have known for sure who was responsible for ANY of the screen names.

In contrast, consider cyber bullying, where a classmate knows for a fact that a given login assuredly represents a person they see everyday during class at school, and which point they begin a campaign of deliberate harassment and psychological warfare. One scenario involves verifiable individuals known to eachother in the real world, and the other scenario (the silk road hit) does not.

The drug trade and the bitcoin exchange for real money may portend that his intent to defend the black market network could potentially turn violent, and that perhaps he was of a mindset prone to acting as an accessory before the fact and an accomplice to murder, but nevertheless, I still question the reality of this sting operation, and what it may have actually represented to Ulbricht himself, in situ. Did he honestly think anyone was getting killed for bitcoins, if he never met them face to face? How can we know for sure?

I would not advise anyone trying to lose weight to go on a 'low carb' diet. While its true that most people need to consume less carbs, a good balance of fats, proteins, and carbs are a part of most healthy diets.

Satiation has less to do with the absence of carbs as it does the glycemic index of the carbs. Foods like oatmeal have a low glycemic index and thus raise your blood sugar much slower than a candy bar which might cause a sudden spike. So its advisable to eat slow burning low glycemic index carbs in the morning to feel fuller during the day.

Also there are a lot of mixed views about dairy as well as the high sodium content of chipotle in the weightlifting and weight loss world.

This is such a big, important topic that surely not all tech firms have settled on the "open plan" which intuitively and in my experience is awful.

I think the breakthrough will come when workplace interiors get much more modular and flexible. I'm envisioning different teams getting to choose (within reason) what types of setups they would like from enclosed offices to bullpens to cubes to open desks.

And I can even see planned re-arrangements every 6 months or so to eliminate the moss.
So the winning team:

This book is analogous to learning a programming language by reading only the documentation for its standard library. You need to understand the fundamentals to know how to use what you're reading.

Also, a workout with no equipment at all is probably inadequate. At the very least, you'll want a pull up bar and possibly some gym rings.
