If you're using Glass for navigation, it generally stays out of the way. If you're approaching a turn you're due to make, it will beep at you and a voice will tell you what to do. Only at that point does the screen come on, and displays a fairly simple map drawing. Once you take the turn, the screen fades off.

If you're wearing Glass properly, the screen is also up at an angle above your eye. If you're sitting in the driver's seat of a vehicle and looking forward, the display would be about at the area where your sun visor would be if it were flipped down over the top of your windshield.

Hopefully Google patents lots of useful stuff before anyone else. Google's record on patents is pretty responsible.
I think we are in agreement. However, I don't see distress at getting fired or forced to move out of the neighbourhood in which you grew up as an illegitimate reason for protest.

I get your viewpoint that what's good for humanity need not be humane to ALL humans, just the overall concept of humanity. However, I can't escape the feeling that there is an unnecessarily ruthless resource re-allocation going on here. Killing one process and allocating those resources to another in an instant makes sense in OS design, but maybe processes that reallocate resources from some living beings to others can be more compassionate without compromising that much in terms of efficiency.

Even my web server (nginx) has a -s stop for fast shutdown and a -s quit for graceful shutdown. :-)
Which explains why prosecutors tend to be extremely vindictive when they are forced to take a case to trial, seeking extreme sentences which pervert justice (but which also serve to further encourage other defendants to pursue plea bargains).
Well promises are suppose to be compatible with one another due to adhering to rules. Should be A-OK. Bluebird is just, at the moment, the most performant Promise library, and they seem to be building their API as close to what native Promises will be like. You could really use any promise library and it wouldn't matter much, perhaps use the one that mongoose uses if it's an issue.
The really interesting question for me has been how to securely bequeath bitcoin as an inheritance.

You need to ensure that your bitcoin can be successfully transferred after you die while also ensuring that it can't be unintentionally transferred while you're alive. Let's say your give your bitcoin wallet password to a trusted friend/lawyer to hold onto in case you die. Now you've just doubled your attack surface for adversaries to steal your bitcoin. At the same time, you can't only keep your bitcoin password in your head or your bitcoin will become worthless once you die.

People are already not good about estate planning today, I wonder how many millions of bitcoin will be lost in the next couple of years as bitcoin millionaires die without making sure there's proper paths towards retrieving their assets.
If 1+1-1+1-1+1... can be approximated to 0.5, then 1000+1000-1000+1000-1000+1000... must be approximately 500, but shouldn't 1+1-1+1-1+1...be equivalent to 1000+1000-1000+1000-1000+1000...?
OpenSSH is one of many offshoots of the OpenBSD project.

OpenBSD being a full OS means that they need tools for everything. Occasionally, one of those tools will be superior to mainstream alternatives, thanks to the very strict practices of the project (which really sets the bar for any other project in the security field) -- OpenSSH being the most famous example. Even if their tools don't get adopted, a lot of their code and ideas do, benefitting the whole ecosystem.

Their practices also mean that a lot of the standard GNU userland is regularly audited with a degree of precision not found in more mainstream projects. The bugs they find will be fixed by everyone else, again benefitting everyone in the FLOSS world.
I used to be a premium subscriber to Pandora. After growing tired of Pandora's limitations, specifically a hard cap of 100 custom stations, I looked around and for Radio.

I liked Pandora a lot. I LOVE Rdio. It's gorgeous, robust, and flexible. Great product.
Funnily enough, I had to refresh once or twice during the tutorial, and I started realizing that it was checking it against a known number (9).
Your input wasn't really compared against anything but its length. It took me a good minute, but I figured that out before it told me the password. (because of the tutorial)
I understand that you are trying to be helpful, but it came off as completely insensitive, FYI.
Sadly, just left Rdio after two years because of the sound quality. I do miss the interface, though I actually find Spotify's a bit faster.

You make a valid point. If a person just needs a quick one-off caption for a single image and they know their way around CSS, then this might not be for them.

I am aiming to build a clean, consistent solution that can be grabbed from bower more quickly than finding similar lines of code in a blog.

Furthermore, I found it to be non-trivial to come up with a solution that didn't require specifying a predetermined image width. I hope captionss saves people that trouble as well.
The SYG statutes I'm familiar with only apply if you would be legally justified in using deadly force. Warning shots generally don't meet that standard.

EDIT:

Which is to say, the bar is usually something like reasonable belief that your life or the life of someone present is in imminent danger.
That's also how I interpreted it.
That is truly a horrible image you put in my head.

Besides, with all their might, Google got pwned hard by NSA.
Is there any place to download the code or the image to the original Stripe CTF? I would love to replay it again.
Every negative impact that the post 9/11 terrorism scare has had on America has been inflicted 10 or 100 times over for decades due to the war on drugs. Even with all the horrible NSA revelations it still remains the biggest threat to liberty and uncorrupted rule of law in the western world.
> If we let judges infer non-enumerated rights, they could do anything.

You are conflating rights with entitlements. The nature of non-enumerated rights is clear: Everything that is outside the enumerated powers of government, until the people decide to add to those powers through the amendment process.

We are safe from judges doing "anything."
Mystery of avian 'flying V' formations solved
Ask HN: How do you deal with potential acquirers?
How do you respond to someone who says they are interested in acquiring your business (especially a potential competitor) but won't make an offer until you share your financals and other confidential data? Do you ask them to make an offer without seeing the books first or share your data, hoping they make an offer, but realizing you're sharing confidential info? And how do you differentiate serious offers from time wasters who will chew all your time only to either not offer or low-ball after seeing your financial state? Can you get away with saying: "I'm not sharing you anything until you make an offer?" But then how can you obligate them to that?

And what if they are adamant that they won't make an offer until they see your books and do due diligence? I would think that if investors can make a Term Sheet commitment contingent on due diligence, so can you do that with potential acquirers. But they don't seem to see it that way?

Here's some suggestions we've gotten, but I don't know what is common place or accepted:

* Tell potential acquirers that they must first submit a Contingent Offer providing your books substantiate certain minimum metrics.

* Tell potential acquirers that they have to pay for your time in doing due diligence, setting a flat rate (say, $20k for sake of argument), with the amount counting as a non-refundable deposit towards the acquisition amount

* Use a trusted third party to do a due diligence review, providing your information to the third-party who will not disclose it to the acquirer, but only verify certain required facts or due diligence requests. The Trusted third party inspects the books and doesn't disclose them to the acquirer but knows their desired metrics.

* Breakup fee that penalizes them for walking away.

* Confidentiality agreement with huge damages for disclosing any of the information outside a small group of people in the acquiring company.
It is, for instance 'he disappeared into the night', but how it is used here sounds strange to me.
I think the list is more helpful for someone a step or two beyond beginner. A true beginner is going to look at that and be scared. Once they've read a few introductory things, they'll be able to go back and make better sense of it, for sure. (I showed this to a friend of mine who's interested in learning data science and that was his reaction, so I am generalising, but I think it's a fair generalisation.)
"...any examples of "cleanly designed" systems that have "won" in the long run"

The Linux kernel comes to mind.
Quite so. Warning shots are never a good idea. The 20 year prison term was nevertheless not warranted. Had he been a gang banger convicted of an actual homicide he would, on average, have gotten a lighter sentence.
Write to Jeff Bidzos. If he hears it from more than one of us it might get him to thinking. Despite his hard ass management style there is a strong element of community concern in him.

Not sure the net of the PR for Amazon would be positive or negative, though. I'm surprised at how many Americans feel that the incarcerated should suffer maximally, that there should be nothing provided to ease their time regardless of how constructive it might be. The will to punish runs deep in the American psyche.
> Could be a market opportunity.

Perhaps, although I've heard that universities typically (however unfortunate it may be) like to buy huge ERP installations that cost millions but include integrated timetabling / scheduling.
Well the government considers bitcoin to be a commodity and not a currency. So they're selling the commodity they seized, no different than selling a fleet of ferraris and armani suits seized in another drug raid.

No I don't agree. If the food you eat is making you sick, fat, and tired then it isn't doing much good for you. There's more than enough food without cheap corn. The problem is distribution and perverted incentives-not lack of affordable food. Also what's produced isn't actually all that cheap. It's cheap for the producers of processed foods but the taxpayer pays the real cost, the farmers make almost no real money from their work (unless they're a very large farm who can operate at a massive scale), and the taxpayer picks up the extra cost of the sickness these awful foods create. It sounds pretty expensive to me.

> Doesn't this mean that either your methods won't be dynamically dispatched...

The MSIL (.NET bytecode) for calling an extension method and a static method are exactly the same. So yes, it will not be dynamically dispatched. Specifically, it emits a "call" and not a "callvirt" instruction.

However, the compiler will always prefer a class method over an extension method of the same signature. Meaning that extension methods can be specifically implemented by a class and the compiler will emit a "callvirt" instruction for that instance method instead.

> ... or that you would need to rewrite your code if you ever change from e. g. List to Array?

I'm not sure what you mean here. Arrays implement IList, so if you need random access, you would just write a method against IList. If you don't need random access, you should write it against IEnumerable, which all collections implement.
I'd agree that that "untouchable" idea is perhaps too easy to reach for, but I really do think it's germane to this particular problem. You seem to be well-informed on the subject, perhaps you could comment on this:

It seems to me that for a reasonably well-off person, being incorrectly or even maliciously accused of [random crime] may be inconvenient but you can probably throw comparatively small amounts of money at it until it goes away in the natural course of things (unless you're particularly unlucky). For a regular wage-earner with minimal savings, that same scenario can be a nightmare of missed time at work and incompetent or uninterested representation. If there's any truth to the accusation, the first case probably ends worse for the subject and the second case ends catastrophically.

This, in my mind, speaks directly to why even well-meaning lawmakers would be willing to contribute to the systemic damage that's been happening: their "sense" of how the legal system works is strongly skewed by the experiences they and their friends and family have had. I've had friends in both situations and the contrast was really stark.

On the massive increase in violent crime 1960-199x, wasn't that actually heavily localized in urban areas? We moved near Oakland, CA in the early 90's and it was completely unlike the various areas we had lived in previously. Though I suppose that wouldn't change the effect it had on general perceptions, with broadcast and then cable news delivering the worst of the nation every night.
Agreed on all counts. It's one of those things that's made its way into popular culture that's almost always a terrible idea from a legal standpoint.

There's also the infamous case of the FL woman who initially received a 20 year sentence for firing warning shots at her estranged husband. She won a new trial on appeal, so we'll see how that turns out.

It's definitely unfortunate that it works out like that, but using a firearm in any sort of aggressive manner is deadly force legally, and you better be well and sure you're justified in doing so or you're going to be in a world of hurt with your local prosecutor.
There are high density developments going up in Mountain View, but not to the extent that they could in SF, because you can't just build a 40-story skyscraper in a 2-story suburb. (I know nothing of zoning, codes, and all that, beyond playing Sim City, so my definition of 'high density' might not be technically correct -- but I've heard enough complaints about the development that is going on in MTV -- 4 building sites within 2 blocks of my house! It isn't all bungalows here any more.)

As to the SF vs suburb debate, it's definitely one of preference, and SF appeals to a lot of people. It's not that the employees are too lazy to drive, it's that the company doesn't want them working for trendy SF startups.

Could Google, FB etc attract the same level of talent if said talent couldn't live in a hip, young city instead of the dreary strip-mall suburbs of Silicon Valley? I doubt it. Also, there are a lot of jobs in SF, and many people might be in families or relationships where one partner works up in the city.

(Aside: As someone who used to commute via Googlebus, moved to MTV, and is now looking for housing in SF while not being at Google, I have to say I'm not quite sure where I stand on the whole issue. It's somewhat bittersweet to get off the Caltrain in the morning and walk straight past a Googlebus, or worse, see an empty one heading back down south in the evening!)
That's probably true, a simple, polite answer or even a no comment would be far less abrasive. Here's his answer to 'maybe we should evaluate the scope of the project and see if we still need to support VAX':

>Now, If you don't realize this is the reason we try to run on the
older platforms, I am sorry but you have really not tried to stay in

A simple no answer would do. Or maybe just the actual reason he runs the VAX.

Updated lesson from this article? Being white is no longer the only way to be bad ( or "not great" as the writer puts it ). Now you're bad if you're "white or pale." Sorry, Asians, Jews, and unlucky Mexicans, you're one of us now!

This article's amok boundary-drawing makes me look forward to the days of more women in tech, if not merely so I can see the rags manage to berate them for not somehow conjuring non-whites within their own ranks.

And just look at this atrocious grammar! Please tell me the large number of sentences beginning with the word "But" doesn't belie the writer's lack of insight:

> But beneath this fervour there is often a world of uncertainty.
> But many still want to give it another try.
> But on the whole the startup world, even more than other forms of business, leaves little room for life beyond work.
> But Mr Rao’s analysis goes deeper.
> But it puts a different light on startups and accelerators, suggesting that they are less about identifying the next Mr Zuckerberg or Mr Jobs than about providing a new system to train workers for the knowledge economy.

Actually, it's showing just that. The were able to demonstrate that the buildings nearest the bus stops were rising faster than the neighbours - and within each neighbourhood. Googlers weren't congregating around the bus stops before they showed up.

Furthermore, it's showing us how much of the price hike we can attribute to the change just to the buses and not other tenant sources.

I think you're giving the officer a very generous amount of "benefit of the doubt".

He didn't say "I wasn't sure about the legality, so I referred it to a judge", rather saying he cited her because she got argumentative.

ie., "Don't challenge me if you disagree, otherwise I'll treat you as though you've broken the law."

That's pretty crappy behaviour on the officer's behalf IMHO.

>Things that are valuable (be it artistic creations or useful tools) will overshadow their inventors. //

Almost all the artistic works that I can recognise on sight I have an idea who the artist was/is. Often you can see a work for the first time and have a guess at the artist. I don't think it works really - maybe for certain areas and/or with historic pieces (like who carved the Lewis Chessmen?)?
KDE is the community, not the toolkit. Most KDE specific widgets have been merged/replaced in Qt over time. KF5 mostly is a bunch of small libraries using Qt.

Qt is also used by a few "big" software and as the default toolkit for BB10, Jolla and Mer (totaling a nice 1% market share ;) ). It is also seen as the successor to Motif for large scientific applications.

This is an interesting bit:

>> The lean startup methodology, the accelerators and the standardised term sheets for investments are all signs that the knowledge required to run a startup is becoming codified and commoditised. This has tilted the balance of power between investors and entrepreneurs, he writes. “Investors have won, and their dealings with the entrepreneur class now look far more like the dealings between management and labour.”
And that's where disenfranchising non dev types is a real problem. Theo talks about pulling devs to make shirts and stickers and how that's a waste of time, but there are people out there that aren't kernel hackers that love to contribute to something bigger than themselves. No one's good at everything and the OpenBSD persona of being for and including only experts has made them a very lopsided organization with loads of talent but no diversity of skills.

Being nice to stupid people is as much of a skill as hacking up some kernel code.

They don't convert - but they do make the conference and the conversions possible. Am I the only one who enjoys being in the company of attractive people? I doubt a convention like CES (which I attended, and performed real business at) would be nearly as popular if it weren't so damned entertaining; it's popularity that ensures the audience you actually need to meet is there.

And though I thoroughly separate ambitions/intelligence/drive from appearance when I'm hiring (if you can help me make money you're in), I'm inclined to use a throwaway account so I don't get publicly chastised for PCness.
They also created a pretentious video where they explained that the NSA hacked people's e-mails through a rigged random number generator, complete with an attempt at explaining elliptic curves and modular arithmetic, that ignores the fact that barely anyone used that PRNG and most e-mail isn't encrypted properly in the first place.

Either I'm a really grumpy person, or their videos are actually terrible. I think there are enough interesting things in math that can be explained without falsely embellishing uninteresting results and ideas.
