They show the page and then block it from you afterwards, so if you load the page then keep spamming the escape key to stop anything else from running the content will stay there.

Is there something in binary that executes best-performing instructions (as opposed to execute just the instructions compiled in) when it's being executed on a specific CPU? If so, how exactly does it work?
If this person wasn't a federal agent, they committed a felony punishable by up to three years in prison the moment they stuck the badge in his face and claimed to be "federal" anything. This is aside from the litany of other crimes and torts committed throughout the interrogation.

I.T. Security Career Info request
Hello,

I live in Sydney and have an earnest desire to enter into I.T. Security (preferably starting with penetration testing). How do I go about doing this or get a break at any 1 of the Security Firms? I have researched quite a bit but there's nothing better than hearing it directly from Industry experts such as yourselves.

I come from primarily a background of 5+ years in software programming & testing but no work experience in any domain of I.T. Security.

If you could please guide me on the above matter I'd very much appreciate it. Looking forward to your responses. Thank you.
This is great work.

Like others have pointed out, blogging might have been better especially since tweeter is fleeting. When it is gone, it is gone (mostly). Storify's usecase is for putting different tweets from different timelines/times into a coherent flow.

I concede that twitter removes the friction of saying "Let me write a blogpost and think of a title". Maybe a new proper blog theme that makes title optional? I know Tumbr does something like this.

Another idea might be to modify the compose section of Twitter like buffer does http://imgur.com/PbpisGh. If you click the "longer than a tweet -LTAT " check box, You have more than 140 characters" say, 1000 characters?

When you click publish 3 things happen.

1. You automatically publish a Tweet with a link to the the post. ala longtweets

2. You have a post published on your normal blog. Maybe without a title

3. Your whole post can be read in within Twitter using Twitter card support.

PS: I wrote about Twitter spoiling coherent thought here http://oonwoye.com/2013/07/20/twitter-vs-blogging/
Wow, a RSS reader "steals views from publishers"? Call the police.

Are you serious? You never talk to police. I thought everyone knew that..
In the story, the author said that they identified themselves as being with the "federal service." Unless the author forgot to mention it, it would seem as though they never explicitly identified themselves as FBI at any point. In a situation like that, it's almost trivial to influence a subject's perception of what they're dealing with between the badges (whatever they were) and their demeanor. The subject expects you to be FBI agents based on the information available, and thus, you are FBI agents. At least to them.

If that's the case, then they were most likely trying to avoid falling afoul of 18 U.S. CODE § 912, but I don't think that'd work out to well for them in any case. In United States v. Lepowitch, the Court held that it only requires "that the defendants have, by artifice and deceit, sought to cause the deceived person to follow some course he would not have pursued but for the deceitful conduct."
I agree with your advice, but I think in this case they would have arrested him. It's definitely a rock and hard place situation.
Hilarious. Bet you didn't expect all those references, aye? ;)

Cairo is dual-licensed under the LGPL and MPL. Both of these are restrictive enough to make them incompatible with, eg., App Store terms. Yet the proposal does not seem to even mention the license (or maybe I just missed it).

The standards committee is conserned about portability, at least on a technical level. I wonder what their take is on portability issues caused by license terms.
> Steve Jobs left Apple, wasn't Wozniak there that whole time?

No, he left shortly after.

> Then he came back and lo and behold, not just did a good job of running the company but turned it into world's biggest company by market cap.

The company struggled when Jobs was outed in the first place.

> Could Woz have done that?

Probably not, Wozniak is not a businessman. But I have a better question, could Jobs become a leader of Apple and figure of note in first place if he had not walked on Wozniak with already complete Apple prototype? There's a lot to be said to being in the right place at the right time.
> For that you would need meaningful competition. We don't have that here.

We also don't have a majority of customers who want to pay more than $40/month for internet.

Comcast has been rolling out decent internet, I currently have 105 megabit internet and I'm in a suburb, but it isn't cheap. I think many in the HN bubble over estimate the number of people who they think will pay for the monthly fee it would take for a company to roll out super fast internet in a place as large as the USA, even if it is just limited to major cities and their suburbs.
Wow, that's pretty impressive. Decent solution. :)

And then you could annotate each website with a tag about what topic it is to help with search.

Then you could maybe even organize them into publicly based on those tags. You would need a hierarchy of tags then though but that would give you a rather comprehensive, yet still curated, view of the web...

> Marketing done right seeks to cancel itself out; if two competing companies do their marketing in an optimal way, it will leave the customer in the same state as if no marketing effort ever occured (ok, maybe a little more tired from listening to all that crap, but otherwise his/her decisions will not be influenced). In doing so, it can in principle use up (i.e. waste) unbounded amount of resources. That's why I sincerely consider marketing to be a parasite and a plague of our times.

I am wondering what would be the impact of a law to limit the advertising budget of companies. I will be hard to apply it, but the goal is to force companies to get out of the Nash non-optimal equilibrium that forces them to spend resources on marketing just because if they don't, the competition will.
Changes in utility rates (both in absolute terms and in pricing tiers) are always a risk to the performance of energy efficiency upgrades. Spark leases are designed with a shared savings "buffer" to protect against this and other changes to expected savings. For any Spark lease, monthly repayments are set to between 95% and 60% of the savings that the upgrade is expected to achieve, allowing the customer to absorb some reduction in savings while remaining cash flow positive.

Structurally, Spark leases and our payouts to investors are not affected by changing prices or fluctuations in savings unless it results in default. Our leases are designed to be cash flow positive in all but the most unexpectedly poor performance scenarios, and we vet the methodologies used by our contractor partners to ensure that savings estimates adhere to accepted standards. Spark lease terms are also relatively short, with terms that typically fall in the 3-6 year range, reducing the risk of major shifts in utility prices during that time. Ultimately, however, a Spark lease is not a guarantee of performance, and the lease still requires repayment even if performance lags in a given month.
It's messed up, but the problem is Kit Dotcom steals, but at least he doesn't own any rights to music and you don't own him money once the dust settles. I could be wrong, but he is having making a Spotify clone, no?

There are certainly plenty of contexts where SSD's in general provide limited if any performance wins because disk I/O is largely not involved. However, in cases where SSD's are being used for performance reasons, particularly for random reads, I would expect this would make a fair bit of difference.
"what will be successful in 25 years, will have to be completely unrelated from what Google is doing now"

I know very little about SEO or website design, but isn't google already kinda tipping their hand to what the future will hold?

Without adblock, a quick google search shows that the entire top half of the result page are ads. To me, it's fairly obvious the future will bring pay-for-priority search inclusion. You want a top spot? Break out your wallet.

Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, only time will tell. I'm more curious about search engine competitors 25 years from now. Google's had a great decade, but that can't last forever ... can it?

Top 5 Awesome Valentine’s Day Tips For Men
Love Mike's post, he sent this out over our WINter trip to SLC this weekend!

Was just reminded of another great post on tc last year that gets into some of the benefits our clients (CoTap, Docurated, Microsoft, Off Base Productions, SquareTrade, etc) have enjoyed by outsourcing to a high end consultancy like oursleves: http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/15/stop-looking-for-a-technica...
1. Not defending the concept or execution of that wall, but the list of reasons behind its existence includes many more things than just nationalistic tendencies. If and when it's dismantled, it'll say far more about the relative functioning of the two nations' respective institutions and economies than it will about any decrease in nationalistic tendencies.

The original signatories to the Schengen Agreement were some of the most nationalistic countries on the planet, and still are, 29 years later.

2. It only feels like the Berlin Wall if you ignore the fact that the Berlin Wall was built to prevent emigration and defection.

3. You and I live on the same planet; mind if I enter and leave your home without restriction? Mind if everyone else is free to, also?

I agree with what you're saying in principal, but the application of ideals is where things become far more complex.

Also, it's worth reflecting on the fact that the federal republic of the United States has totally open borders between its 50 states, which is too often taken for granted, and basically provided the model the EU is struggling to imitate.
You're mixing up a stop with an arrest. If the police have reasonable suspicion, they can detain you only as long as necessary to investigate that suspicion. Usually that means minutes, not hours. If they have probable cause, they can actually arrest you, search all your belongings, search your person, and hold you for days before charging you or letting you go. The story claims he was only detained, not arrested.
Don't think glasses are medical.
Such an amazing project. I was really keen to order one of the disks as part of what would ensure their survival would be ubiquity, and it would be a lovely artefact to own, but it seems they gave up on mass production. Do you know I'd they have any plans to reproduce them or has that been shelved indefinitely? Perhaps if I wait 10,000 years :)

Wonderful to think of the disk out there on a comet though, forever circling the sun.
The concern that you might extend the length of your detention in the short-term is inconsequential compared to the possibility that your cooperation can and will be used against you. You aren't trying to manipulate the police into letting you go home earlier; instead, you're trying to avoid doing anything that may increase the likelihood of your being found guilty of criminal charges.

There are plenty of interviews online where police officers, lawyers, and judges alike can't come up with even a single example of where someone was able to talk their way out of charges. The popular "Don't talk to the police" video is just one of them. Hell, Salinas v. Texas makes it abundantly clear that you can screw yourself right into jail even when you do remain silent but make the mistake of appearing uncomfortable during questioning.

In short, there are just too many opportunities for even an intelligent, innocent person to stumble straight into jail.

Gaining wisdom by way of being paid massive amounts of money is an odd definition of "hard-won". Many people find out that their career is largely unsatisfying without stockpiling a safety net that could last a lifetime in the process.

It's one rung up the ladder from the guys who make their money in ethically grey ways, find religion, preach their conversion, but keep the money. (But it's still a rung up, mind you, and that's a good thing.)

Good for him that he earned so much, and that he seems to have found meaning in things besides money, but the story is pretty clichéd.

And I'm not sure "irresolvable emptiness" and an "unfillable hole" is quite so universal as you seem to indicate, nor do I think all attempts at filling voids are of equal value. (I'm not saying you do, either, just trying to be clear.)

The <canvas> drawing model is a very thin layer over the Mac OS X Cocoa drawing model (because it was originally developed by Apple as a proprietary extension to Webkit). The Cocoa drawing model is based on the "Display PDF" model, which is a descendant of the "Display Postscript" system used by the original NeXT OS, which of course was derived from the PostScript page layout language.

I think Cairo just borrowed the PostScript drawing model from the start.

How toilet paper explains the world
Hmmm. On one hand, its OTT, but on the other hand, people walking about with an attached camera that may well be always recording is going to cause real problems.

These things are potentially a gross invasion of privacy. They might be very cool tech for the wearer, but frankly Im not prepared to have my privacy potentially compromised so that some one else can have some cool augmented reality. I don't understand how on one hand the NSA is all evil, but some geezer walking round with a camera that could be recording any of us without our knowledge or permission, with the potential to publish these videos on the internet for an entire world to see, is somehow perfectly fine. These things remind me of the hacked up kit pervert voyeurs use to film women in compromising positions. I couldn't care less about people potentially pirating films in cinemas, but if these people start film me going about my personal business, Im telling you, there will be trouble. Thing is, if I see some one possible filming me with one of these things, the law is no use. The person filming me is anonymous and can easily go, leaving me and a lawyer no one to prosecute. I have no choice, I have to grab the guy and his kit. I then want this guy forced to give up all his personal information so that I can be sure he has not uploaded the video somewhere. All of which, as we know is at least technically problematic. Wont be long until people wearing these things will become targets just for wearing them. Only takes 1 or 2 Fox News sensationalist, exaggerated stories, and wearers will become seen as threats. The stories dont even need to be true, just true enough, feasible enough.

I think people are displaying a hypocritical double standard here. Its Ok for the cool kids to invade our privacy, but not the NSA? These cool kids can actually cause normal people more humiliation and damage than the NSA. AFAIK, the NSA has not released a video of a private citizen walking in to a glass door in to the public for humiliating laughs. People wearing these things can, and will. Yes, this has been possible for years, but these google things will make it mainstream and vastly increase the potential for this.

Trust me, there is a whole lot of trouble waiting to burst out.

Im not suggesting banning these things, they clearly have huge value. What Im saying is that society needs to have a serious debate about use and there lines are drawn. What is criminal and what is reasonable.
"Cynical: believing that people are motivated by self-interest." Call it a plague if you like, but I'm OK with it.

It doesn't look much different than the protections a retail store currently have. They can detain you until the police arrive and they are not liable for criminal or civil liabilities either (doesn't stop people from trying to sue).

I don't doubt that he's doing some real good; it's the self-aggrandizing style that opens him up to a whole host of issues.

It's a dilemma, for sure, but a guy who's so apt to talk specifics in terms of his income and bonuses doesn't present himself as operating from a place of humility. I know people who went through roughly the same evolution he claims to, but the ones who actually internalized the lesson aren't humble-bragging to the NYT under a byline, but are actually out trying to do good with as little self-aggrandizement as possible.

Like it or not, the way in which he chose to share his message completely undermines it, and it doesn't make his current situation seem too terribly different from his previous ones. Less destructive and more functional, sure, but the dynamic seems largely unchanged.

Reiterating on my point again, the aim of this project is not to replicate Git. JS-Git (https://github.com/creationix/js-git) does that.Here I am trying to code basic concepts relaxing complex stuff so that reader can focus & visualize more abstract concepts. I have tried to bring in concepts as and when wanted instead of just overloading the reader with complex stuff all at once.
When I was using the Nexus 4 I would always put it on my desk when working. I put a wireless charger at that position and had no need to plug it in for at least a few months. I never had to think about the charge because I was at my desk often enough for my phone to get charged.
That's a weird argument. Bejeweled and Peggle (two VERY polished games, both made by PopCap games) were blatantly ripped off. (Candy Crush and Papa Pear by King are almost identical ripoffs, save for sprites).

How are the games by PopCap not polished? It irritates me even more that King copies TWO games from the same company... They truly are the new Zynga.
