Ironically, I find the hardest Google product for me to ditch is Maps. DuckDuckGo is a decent alternative to search and I use both, but there isn't anything else at the level of google maps.

Still, only using three google things (third being youtube - don't have an account, but watch stuff) isn't so bad.
Note that the "something of value" does not have to be tangible.
Information has been held sufficient.
See United States v. Sheker, 618 F.2d 607, where all that was done was ask about someone's location.

If this was done to ascertain information about the company, and their willingness to participate in government surveillance, it is likely to be held "a thing of value" under such precedent (which explicitly holds that things with value in the broader senses of the word count under the statute)

As a pragmatic approach, it is unlikely you are going to be find judges willing to let you slide on this kind of thing :)
They're like the dwarves of Erebor. I would be very worried if I were them, considering the fact that they're the home of the Norwegian Ridheback.
Dunno about overstock but when i'm buying humble indie bundles with bitcoin, they use coinbase too and i have no coinbase account. I just scan the QR code using my android bitcoin wallet (called mycelium) and tap 'send'. No confirmations needed, beause it's small ammounts. Maybe overstock will need some confirmations for larger purchases.

So yes, there is actual bitcoin transaction going on if you don't have coinbase account.
No necessarily, the custody issues might be solved. e.g. what if a couple (with kids) break up due to the husband beating the wife and kids. Father gets no custody and there is a restraining order to prevent him contacting them (y'know so he doesn't beat them again).

Even then, IDE on one monitor; web for reference material on the other.
Honestly I hate this new trend of making displays wider and wider. I feel like 4:3 or something a little bit wider is great for programming. Right now my two widescreen displays waste space at the edges because it's just too far to look at. Putting some of that vertically would improve the use of screen real estate for work
> We don't really have such a concept in Australia as far as I'm aware.

There do seem to be university sports leagues in Australia, they just aren't taken as seriously afaict, e.g.: http://www.aurl.com.au/
> Afaik, in most European countries the CS courses are taught in English.

Not really. You only write stuff in English if it intended for publication like papers and stuff.
I do the same. :)

Regarding Gmail: I've been using Google Apps for Domains for years, among other things to host my private family domain. All family members, wife, kids, have email accounts there.

Around New Year my 7-year old son's account was permanently suspended. Even I as the superadmin of the domain can't unlock it, there is no way to get the data out. What happened is he tried to register G+. No, our young kids don't have G+ or FB accounts. They are not allowed to and we monitor how they use Internet. But it's hard to avoid running into G+ these days. So my son clicked on a link somewhere. It turned out that a person younger than 13 years are not allowed to have a google account. Period. It's a violation of their TOS. Even though outside of USA, GMail or Google apps for domains never explicitely asked you for your age. Not before G+, and even now only if you register your G+ profile.

Bottom line: I have no other choice than to de-google-ify my life. Google forced me to do it. I know you can lie about age of your kid but doing so is risky. See above.

I have a cronjob that runs every hour to backup all Gmail inboxes to a IMAP server (dovecot) so in my case it's not a disaster. But imagine if I wasn't so paranoid about Google...

Also as they say if the service is free you are their product. These days everywhere every time when I can I choose the paid option.
It's not just you.

While reading the article I was thinking "wow, these guys are using 39" monitors, while I'm perfectly happy with a single 17" monitor or a 13" laptop. There must be something wrong with me."

Emacs is my screen space saviour. Every file or shell is 3 key presses away, I just don't need extra monitors.
Death threats and criticism do not construe misogyny whenever they are directed towards a woman, but only when they happen because she is a woman, and wouldn't happen if a man was in an equivalent situation. I'm not convinced that is the case here. According to my observation of the world, football fans tend to be aggressive towards just about everyone (and everything).
"Americans don't have Fashion."- Yves Saint Laurent
Yves Saint Laurent was right- America copies Parisian haute couture and still doesn't have style.
The cost of making one it probably several thousand dollars, not counting the year and a half of Bunnie's time.

From then on it depends on how many you want, and if you can find an assembly house that will take a tiny order for (say) 1000 of them. Even in large runs I can't see it costing less than $1000, partly due to the FPGA on the board. Handcrafted aluminium and leather cases are also likely make up several hundred dollars of the price. That case looks particularly resistant to mass-production.
You got it, it's a smoke-and-mirrors screed to justify the lack of dependency management. 'One giant repo' might work ok in Perforce, but it's bad in git and SVN--forget about it.
P1 drops the connection to P2, P1 now knows the answer is no.
I don't trust any of them. Period. It makes absolutely no sense to trust any of them. Not when peoples lives are at stake.

At this point, if I wanted to use my phone for any truly critical communication (e.g. like in middle eastern countries where lives are literally at stake), I'd only use open source software.

You could start a company that had the all of following people as founders:

Ron Rivest
Adi Shamir
Leonard Adleman
Phil Zimmermann
Whitfield Diffie
Martin Hellman
Dan Bernstein
Bruce Schneier
Edward Snowden
Keith Alexander
Theo de Raadt

Even if every single one of those people were telling me to trust the software, I still wouldn't. Not without source.

Show me the source code. At first glance, I didn't see that option as available at the Wickr web site.

BTW stupid of Wickr to not obtain the wickr.com domain. I'll let people google for the real URL just to make my point.
I don't think MITM is possible with LTE. My understanding is that it requires mutual authentication between the handset and tower/network. My guess is that 3G (UMTS and CDMA2000) is the same because they both use the 3GPP Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) protocol.

But yes, the access provider can still tap the line.
Perhaps I've been trolled, but I'd have to disagree strongly. Sports might be seen as some kind of ritualized conflict, I guess, but then how is that different than any other kind of gameplay? Take chess, for instance - it is all about strategy and tactics in service to the intellectual domination, subjugation, and eventual defeat of one's opponent. But so what? It's damned fun, which is a worthy end in itself, and I believe that chess play hones the mind even as it entertains the players.

Likewise, sports are fun! But if you need further justification, their play teaches us valuable physical and social skills - teamwork, graciousness, poise, coordination, fitness, and so on - that even if you aren't entertained by a particular sport, surely you can see its potential value in other dimensions.

I guess my point is that not all human education is intellectual. It is experiential, and it is physical, and social, and moral, too.

When you get to 500 karma, you get a ▼ immediately below the up arrow. Making a decent layout for both, even using the small arrow equivalents (▴ and ▾) would be pretty tricky in text as it'd need to be a block element rather than the specifically sized div with background image trick that's used now.

Interestingly (if you're a massive web nerd) is that the image asset request sets a no-cache header. Almost certainly just a default setting that's been overlooked but it could be a tracking image in disguise! :)
Why aren't you using a terminal that can handle UTF-8? Alternatively, why aren't you using a web browser that can handle UTF-8?
Good idea. I think this article is a disguised anti-service-oriented-architechture & anti-git argument.
The Seiki supports true 120Hz at 1920x1080.
Maybe not, but I have certainly met professors that have led research that universities have spun off into highly profitable companies. And even without worrying about direct money-generating capacity, it's having the best research teams that allows the big name universities to demand the ridiculous tuition fees that they charge. Yet coaches are paid more. I can only conclude that many university presidents actually wanted to own sports teams, and this is how they have got their wish...
Unfortunately their own player no longer works in modern linux distributions (Trick of installing HAL no longer works).

you know googling how to hack a mac reveals several results which although don't use the same method use similarly easy hacks... there is a file you can remove or add which 'resets' the machine to how it came out of the factory (but does not delete any files, including the user folder)

example: http://www.hackmac.org/tutorials/how-to-create-a-new-adminis...

hacking with physical access is not usually difficult.
I personally just can't imagine Microsoft or Sony beating them in this space... at least not for a very long time. One of the key advantages Oculus has is their staff, besides being made up of some of the most amazing programmers of our time (Carmack) they're also devoted gamers. Palmer literally created the oculus because he REALLY wanted it. There's a drive towards perfection that I just can't imagine a large company replicating as well.
I'm more wondering why they use css* to rotate the image, instead of just using a sprite with both triangles and clipping.

Granted, on a site as simple as HN this makes no difference at all. But I think there is an overall trend to push more work onto the client, which kinda makes sense since they have more and more CPU and RAM over time. OTOH, its bad because I can throw away my old "office" desktop and my "netbook" (it has net in the name!) because they can't browse the average webpage anymore!
Exactly. If something happens to both men and women, you need to do a lot more work (i.e., get data) to show misogyny.

All this article gives us evidence for is general nutty sports fan behavior.

None of your incentives are sufficient to get large adversaries to drop their non-obvious zero day on you.
It's more likely in environmental regards, that oil and gasoline will be nearly regulated out of use in the future (if they're not simply stamped out by superior energy infrastructure). The death by regulation scenario becomes more likely as the world becomes less dependent on oil / gasoline. That's why the Obama Admin dares to hammer coal now, because natural gas has come online via fracking.
Apologies for the assumptions! I think you're right that the number of items being shipped on a platform is a good indication, but there's no real way to tell outside the walled gardens. There doesn't appear to be a massive take-up of the Metro app store, so I wonder if people are just ignoring it and still shipping native Win32 apps still? Or just nobody is writing anything?

You're right though - I haven't the answer to your question! I wonder where we can get some sort of metric of software being shipped for Windows? As nobody is really funnelling their software through the Windows store, it is probably impossible to get any concrete numbers.

Apologies again for the assumptions.
Many people are so fond of what I call commit accounting that they spend more effort on all that branches, merges and rituals than on actually getting their code to work.

One more reason to use trunk based development. Or SVN.

4:3 is 16:12. 16:10 is 'a little bit wider' :)
Very nice. A (personal) quirk: It's the first time (I recall) seeing the natural numbers defined as the non-negative integers (including zero) vs just the positive integers (which makes sense, as zero has many useful counterparts, such as the empty set etc). It makes the part of indexing elements from one stand out a bit, in contrast to the examples (0,1,2) -- not (1,2,3)...
If your multiparty protocol is actually something you want scrutinized, why not follow the accepted model and make a c library reference implementation and release a research paper outlining the basis for your design decisions?

"Hey guys, here's the code, file some bugs for software that is of no use for you to spend time auditing" is pointless.

Adium has an incentive to read the libotr sources. Every user has a small incentive to read kernel sources.

Nobody has any meaningful incentives to read the cryptocat homebrew multiparty cryptosystem except the few you've paid to do so. This is cargo cult peer review; it looks like you're doing it but it doesn't actually yield the intended results.

PS: glad to see you switched to OTR for two party. You should have done that years ago, but at least you wised up in the end. Hopefully nobody got killed or tortured in the process.
The guy from Henley on Thames was the best (speakerid=70).
Yep. At my home office I have 3x Dell U2412Ms (1920x1200 i.e. 16:10) on an Ergotech stand and I'm absolutely loving this physical setup for programming. The side monitors float over my desk (an Ikea Galant, corner version), and having a central monitor with two surrounds is just ideal for me. I much prefer this to a dual screen setup.

I think that ideally the same 24s would deliver a 2560x1600 resolution, however I'm still quite happy with the setup as it is. 3x 27"s might be nice, but I fear it could become too much. Well, at least for my wallet, that is!

An issue with the 4k displays is that if you're going to have 3x of them, you're going to hit GPU walls very, very quickly.
I've worked with a similar workflow in a number of places with SVN. It's horrible.

These workflows which avoid branching, avoid merging, and avoid multiple services with separation of concerns are a product of the limitations of the SCM system. Too many times, the designers have praised their workflows for so perfectly utilizing the features of the chosen SCM system. They put the cart before the horse, and don't see that their workflow is an attempt to work around the places where the SCM falls short.
> As far as I know, our system is unique, and that's probably because we were televising college athletics earlier and more heavily than other nations.

It's not just that it's televised, it's that sports are tied to schools and colleges at all. Netherland has tons of youth sports, but all in indepdent, often volunteer-run clubs. For many sports (football and hockey[0] at least) there's a youth league for every two-year age group, and after the last one, when you're 18, you move to the adult leagues. Those are generally amateur leagues, but professional football clubs have their own youth programs (playing in the same leagues) and recruit from all clubs in the vicinity (not to mention rival clubs and foreign countries).

[0] And here I mean the football where a round ball is played with the foot, rather than American Football; and the hockey that's played on a field, rather than ice hockey.
The economists that say the US going deep into debt is a good thing, are simply wrong, and their theories are based on wrong economics (the very wrong economics that have been eroding the US economy for decades). Their scenarios assume low interest rates forever, which is about the dumbest notion one could ever assume in nation-state economics when a lot of debt is involved.
I would try to program first something in Java like a small project (without gui) that uses some libraries and has an OOP design. Just experiment with classes, structures and maybe access a database.
Then when you know what interfaces, subclasses etc are , migrate and take a course on android development from a MOOC such as udacity or coursera.

Then build an awesome app :)

You don't get it, do you? One of the rules in e-commerce is to limit the path to the "submit order" button and remove any decisioning in the checkout process - otherwise you may lose the sale. Given Bitcoin rate greatly varies, if it Bitcoin is dropping, I won't buy as then I will have to spend more coins. If it's on the rise, I will wait more to spend less. In general, too much wondering to get the best deal. If price is in BTC and I own BTC, I buy when I need something without having to worry about it. Anyway, they don't accept Bitcoin as they: a) don't have a Bitcoin wallet; b) they don't have stable prices in BTC.

Only 120 fps actually in the article. He also doesn't talk about the color space, only about the granularity.

That wasn't the best thought out example. The total yearly cost for a programmer would have to exceed 666.666 $ to justify a 1000 $ purchase, if the improvement is only 0.05%.

That said, I agree. The benefit doesn't have to be big to justify it.

The answer: as much as you can learn. But actually, to start, a basic skillset is enough. I would say that you should start with Java first then you can learn the Android stuff. Thinking in Java is the book I always recommend (by Bruce Eckel); Android has a good tutorial on Google's Android site, I think that is good for beginners. I have not read any books on Android but I am sure there are some good books on advanced topics if you are familiar with the basics. Start with some easy, small thing then you will learn the pieces with time.
Exactly! I found it hard to break into TaPL, and this is just the thing I needed.
I use AKG K518. It has a fair price and a decent sound for it. It also lasts great - I used to DJ with them and I had no problems for years. The price is very good - they match it with Sennheiser HD25 in tests which you can get for the double or triple of the AKG's price.
You have to fill in you email in the about section for it to be visible. Mine should be showing up though - feel free to get in touch.
I appreciate the goal but I'd rather we started with an IP-free core manufactured by multiple fabs and work up from there. The Chinese got somewhere with this by ripping off MIPS but I'm not sure that is the right solution.

Then there's the wireless stack and peripheral space which is even more complicated.

Edit: this was my intention when I went to university in the early 90's but I found sitting in front of a Sun workstation drawing squares (gates) very tedious.

> It's a shame, because the sport itself is very nice.

I think fundamentally the problem is in watching other people sport. Sport is great for people to do. As entertainment for mass consumption, it's not so great.
Trying to take the word "router" away from the typical home all-in-one network appliance is a silly way to waste everyone's time.

Yes, the device on my shelf at home doesn't support BGP, doesn't have any TCAM, and probably falls over with more than 10 routes, and is unlikely to ever have more than the default one. But we call them routers.

The layer 3 switches I work on can do BGP, can do layer 3 routing at hundreds of gigabits per second, but still isn't a router.

Language is flexible, terms aren't strictly used, and I don't think anyone was helped by your "correcting" the grandparent poster.
