I've been friends with journalist on the Apple beat for major publications. Apple is notoriously picky about who it gives early product announcements too, and they never _ever_ purposefully "leak" anything.

Apple does play favorites. If you are in Apple's good graces and play by their rules, their team will give you early access to you have more time to write in-depth reviews about their devices (But don't EVER think about prematurely releasing the story). If you get on their bad side, you're pretty much stuck and have to wait like normal people for launched product releases.

Don't we all just assume this is going on? Also, if it's alright to pay major gaming sites and magazines and personalities to talk about your product, why not some knucklehead with a bunch of youtube followers? It's no less sleazy.

The great thing about modern society is that most consumers have evolved enough savvy to be suspect of almost all brand-encounters. Even to the point of alerting to a lot of sure false-positives.

A corporation doesn't get liability protection for free, the corporation itself remains liable for whatever it does while the shareholders (but not board members) are protected.

In a global economy, where corporations can exist anywhere they like, taxing corporate profits is almost a guarantee that we'll see the same thing that happened to manufacturing jobs happen to corporate headquarters. The corporations will move to countries with lower tax rates because they can and because it will save them billions. I'd move my HQ to keep a billion in the bank instead of giving to the clowns trying to run the country.
By capping incomes/ownership to 500,000 wealth somethings, you discourage the creation of productivity required to supply the extra 1000 wealth somethings to everyone, as required to transition from scenario A to C. By penalizing anyone making/having more than that cap, nobody has incentive to create another 500,000 (or even just 1) more wealth somethings which would, at some point, would be transferred to others anyway. In practice, such capping tends to turn scenario A into B because not only is anyone discouraged from producing more than a certain amount of value, what manifestations of wealth which exist decay and are eventually destroyed without sufficient resupply for the whole society; as wealth is consumed/decayed/destroyed, and productivity is effectively punished, the majority increasingly vote for forced redistribution of what remains, leading to stabilizing at 50 per person.

Wealth somethings don't just grow on trees, ya know. They don't last indefinitely either, much less increase commensurate with population growth & needs despite lack of sufficient incentive to create them.

Side note, you know a few drug dealers who make a lot of money? I would think that's something that they wouldn't want advertised...

Also what proof do you have that if you made a drug dealer a million bucks that it would eliminate violence? It would likely result in the opposite as they have more resources, I mean depending on who you ask the drug cartels make 35-100BILLION a year.

I don't get how taking away macros is "less is more".

Since macros provide capabilities that no other feature does, it seems to me that taking them away is "less is less".

As I understand it, the intent behind "less is more" is to boil things down to a minimal number of 'things' (for lack of a better word) without sacrificing capabilities, which in practice involves getting rid of redundancies and overlap while coming up with orthogonal 'things'. Reducing the number of 'things' while also sacrificing capabilities seems to be throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

(Although to be honest, I've been unable to find a definition of "less is more" in the context of programming anywhere.)

Could you clarify what you mean by "less is more"?
Here you go:

>...I don’t think it’s necessary for Apple to do things like that.

The problem with people (like you) is that they see things as 'black' or 'white' or 'good' or 'bad'. Any signs of the possibility of shades of grey are dismissed without second thought. Most if not all companies pay the media and do shady stuff under the radar while they can.
Isn't that an implementation detail though? sysvinit is just a series of scripts that are grouped by runlevel. It says nothing about what those scripts must do; it could very well be that a better implementation of the mounting scripts fixes the problem without having to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

The code is tiny. It already runs on OpenWRT, so there's no issue there.
Long story short, he was running an instance of JBoss that had a vulnerability that allows an attacker to execute commands as the Jboss user and ended up Bitcoin mining on his VPS. Isn't Jboss one of these bloated “enterprisey” JVM container frameworks? I would think something like Play/vert.x would suit the likes of a small VPS better.
8 Micropreneurs share their best business lesson of 2013
OpenRC is exactly that.
The attack vector is some random part of the application server stack (JBoss) demarshalling and running commands on strings received directly from web clients.

A rather horrible practice to begin with. There's always so much that can go wrong when parsing tainted strings to native data structures, let alone to full objects using the builtin marshalling functions, they're not meant to be used on objects from untrusted sources at all!
I am pretty sure I've heard of Light Table here a few times. It's hard to be sure though since Microsoft's LightSwitch (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/ff796201.aspx) which is almost identically named and has almost the identical purpose. That is, making programming easier for everyone including non-programmers.

I was about to forward this to a friend of mine who has several ideas for web startups but lacks all technical skills and is therefore waiting for the time "any day now" that non-programmers will be able to generate programs as fast, cheap and maintainable as programmers. But then I saw the website and realized he would have no idea what the heck it is from their elevator pitch:

http://www.lighttable.com/

Light Table is a new interactive IDE that lets you modify running programs and embed anything from websites to games. It provides the real time feedback we need to not only answer questions about our code, but to understand how our programs really work

That has to be about the least useful description of what it does I can think of.

Making that data truly anonymous so that you cannot de-anonymize it with other data sets is likely impossible. You would have to remove so much that the data becomes useless.
Agreed.

Following the flow of information is what I do all day every day at my new position. If I could have something like this which would allow me to quickly watch how information was flowing from one end of the spectrum to the other without having to follow the method definitions that'd be great.

Ask HN:How many day traders/investors are here?
I was wondering if there was many day traders or investors here, I've a lose interest in day trading that at 1 point in my life I'd like to take further.

So if you're a day trader my questions for you are:
1:How did you get started?

2:What amount of capital did you start with?

3:Are you strictly a day trader or do you hold intra-day positions, swing trade, trade on the FX market or/and invest traditionally

4:What would be some good resources for a beginner?

5:What would you say your average amount of daily profit/loss is

6:Do you enjoy your job?

Jamaicans are into sprinting - it is basically the national sport. In the bob, three skills are needed: sprinting while pushing a bob, sitting very still, and steering, and only one person needs to do steering. And the sprinting bit is quite important.

Ask HN: Are these terms for accepting angel investment appropriate?
An angel has proposed to invest in my company with these terms:<p>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlUHGVGjZyxkdGhGZjk3cU5RSWxNbmR3OFUtWmhUQkE&usp=sharing<p>The key inputs to change are:
- valuation
- reinvestment
- salary<p>Rather than setting up the payments over a fixed time, I set it up to calculate a distribution after each $200,000
- $50,000 to owner 1 and owner 2 as a salary (also can be changed for each $200,000)
- Reinvestment of $25,000 (12.5%) for each $200,000<p>Is this acceptable? Is there a status quo for angel investing? ie - what are the terms that SV Angel or YC make?
American freedom of speech is actually a legal right, and has been limited in application to public entities in the US (with limited exceptions).
In the late 1800s, a half-dozen or so super-wealthy would regularly vacation together on Jekyll Island (Georgia USA), representing some 1/6th of the world's wealth. Expanding the total to include the top 85 would probably produce about the same results as Oxfam's report over a century later.

That a few of the richest (with vast holdings) out-value half the world's population (with zero, or negative, holdings) at any given point in history is not surprising.
Curious, what do you consider the next 'leap' from capitalism? Something completely new, or some socialist/capitalist hybrid?

Or something like the Incans(? - correct me if I'm wrong) - one of the Ancient indians had a system where there was no money, people took what they needed/wanted, and everyone contributed to the whole of society.. There was no such thing as currency.
Rename your post, it's going to distract attention from whatever it is you are trying to communicate. I'd just as soon not read it until you call it "telephone" or something more PC.

Also, you'll get flame detected soon enough once this turns into a debate about racism.
Unless a distribution is completely flat (every person has the same wealth), then it is mathematically necessary that the top N% will have >N%.

If the distribution is also not flat within subranges of the possible wealth, then as N gets smaller, the fraction of wealth owned by the top N% divided by N necessarily gets larger.

Ask HN: Help, How to deal with severe ADHD as a programmer?
I can only do things which are extremely interesting or challenging or if it happens to be of personal interest. I get easily distracted when dealing with mundane tasks. I procrastinate a lot. I am forgetful and not detail oriented. I tried medication but it gives me insomnia and a racing heart. Mindfulness meditation helps a lot but I cannot bring myself to do it everyday. The only good thing about ADHD is the creativity/out of the box/ non-linear thinking, which I seem to have. Created a few products on the side which seem to show commercial potential. I want to know if it is possible to hold on to a job without being anxious/stressed out. Is it possible to become a great and successful programmer despite ADHD?

This is entirely wrong. Why would they wait to climb the through the bullshit bureaucracy when they can build something that helps all the students now? What they proved is that Yale's administration is woefully out of touch.
And the real issue was (is?) the fact that web application process had write access to a location it was able to execute code from.

It is well-known for decades (at least since PHP got popular, which was in '90s!) that such locations should only be writeable by the user(s) who maintain the code and not anyone else. Sometimes, such setup can't be done on dirt-cheap FTP-only shared hosting services (shrugs), but certainly not on VPSes.

Ignorance is bliss.
Personally, I prefer systemd. I have quite a shallow understanding of upstart, but even so I find a dependency-based model much easier to reason about than an event-based model.

I'm quite sure either would be a massive improvement over sysvinit though.

Yes the cartels do make huge sums of $$$$, but the street level guys aren't making millions/billions and hate dealing drugs. There are a ton of guys who sell drugs because they can't get jobs and feed themselves, so they turn to the street as a last resort, but when they start making some descent money they want to invest but don't know how. As far as eliminating the violence, if you look at the rap artist who were given huge record deals and a new way of thinking that have all turned they're lives around and are advocates against selling drugs... Nobody wins in the drug game.

I'm not sure why you don't apply that reasoning to managers. You do not need continuous guidance from the CEO.

A great CEO, after he has built a good team and a good strategy can just let the company sailing along for a decade. He is just as fungible as the network engineer. I mean, Jobs died and Apple didn't immediately go bankrupt, another CEO just stepped in, and either cruise along ( or picked up where Jobs left of, future will tell )

The big difference between the 2 is the immediate impact and that's more a cultural thing than anything.
If you look at it from an engineering point of view, you avoid at all cost to design anything with such a fragile, expensive and exposed element as is the CEO role in a business the size of Apple.
Think of Apple, for example. Nobody is going to expect the electronics giant to lay claim over the fruit, but if someone were to try to market an electronic device under that name, you’d better believe their lawyers would swoop in.

Ironically the reverse happened. Apple always had an uneasy trademark situation with Apple Corps (A holding company owned by the Beatles which owns Apple Records). Apple kept "entering the music business" and having to buy off Apple Corps to keep their mark intact.

Sentiment Analysis: Feelings, not Facts - Michael Herman
The eventual introduction of compacting and generational collection will:

Dramatically reduce the cost of GC for short-lived objects (dramatically, to the point of producing something like 5-10x wins on some of the stupidly tuned microbenchmarks typically used to compare JS runtimes)

Reduce typical heap fragmentation (essential for long-running processes - imagine a facebook/gmail tab left open for days)

Potentially improve computational performance (compacting your GC heap will improve memory locality in some scenarios, which means the CPU cache can be used more efficiently, which will make JS code manipulating small objects much faster)

Reduce average GC pause duration and reduce the frequency of GC pauses

In summary, generational collection is a big win for the things users tend to care about, if you look at what the advantages mean for applications. Compacting is less important, but tends to be nice too.
Choice of framework is not that important. The real problem was (and, judging from the article it's still not fixed) that his server has write access to directories it can execute code from.

I mean, this is a classic example of badly configured filesystem permissions.

Dawn of Autonomous Corporations Powered by Bitcoin: Part-2
Yes, as I said, there are reasons that these neighborhoods are popular. Another reason is the weather: the Mission and SOMA tend to be sunnier than the rest of the city. These features, in a rational world, demand a certain price premium. But the outer neighborhoods have nice features, too (e.g. they have less filth and crime, and more nature), so there's a trade-off.

That said, complaints about being "isolated" in the Sunset is mostly a lot of butthurt. The entire city of San Francisco is seven miles wide. There is literally no part of this city that could be considered "isolated", unless your definition of "the city" begins and ends in the Mission. And I say that as someone who lives without a car -- there are rail lines that run to the Sunset, West Portal, Glen Park, Ocean View and so on. You're maybe 30 minutes away from downtown, at most. Still, ask a 20-something coder to consider living in the Inner Sunset, and you'd think you'd asked him to move to North Dakota.

No, the real problem is that most of the people flooding into SF are wealthy 20-somethings who will pay nearly any price to live right in the middle of the hippest entertainment districts in the city. They don't want to live near icky married people and children, they don't want to travel more than ten minutes to meet their friends for a drink, and they definitely don't want to go up or down any hills to get anywhere. There are basically two neighborhoods in the city that meet these constraints, and in both, rents are skyrocketing.

I like to think that directors do that as a form of deniable protest. Probably not, but thinking that makes it less irritating.
I feel an often overlooked prevention for these semi-random attacks is a change in the SSH default port. I've posted this idea elsewhere and people seem convinced that this is pointless because an attacker can just port-scan your machine. While true, this generally only happens when you are being specifically targeted by an attacker. More random attacks like the one mentioned here are likely just people scanning all the IPv4 space looking for open 22 ports and then testing known exploits. Since I don't run a super-popular site, I'm more likely to be the victim of the second kind of attack. I used to have bad-logins hitting my box on a regular basis, after switching ports for SSH, the log-in attempts went to zero.
Was the attacker gathering results through remote logrotate communications ?

Reminds me of wordpress attacks, you quickly wish for FS diffs in order to identify any change in your code/data ...
One thread issuing IOs: A reduction of 2x in the IO path latency isn't unusual. The overhead of the code path drops from 5us to around 2us. When there's multiple IO threads, the gain is much higher (to 38x in the 8 socket setup). Thus, the more complex workload, the better performance.

I don't have any up-to-date numbers on CPU usage. When we did the experiments on the mtip drive, it was around 20% less CPU usage when performing roughly the same IOs.

For a typical workstation workload, the SSDs access times are still too high to feel the reduced latency. A typical modern SSD is around 50-100us for an IO access. The win there will be the lesser CPU usage that free up resources for other things to do.

Applications are still bound by the round-trip time of getting IOs. Just because we get more memory, we still have to persist data at intervals to prevent data loss, and everything that can help in decreasing the overhead is a win.
