This was one of the arguments the Antifederalists made against the Bill of Rights, that it would eventually be construed as "itemizing a list of freedoms citizens are allowed."

The flip side is that I find it hard to imagine history not eventually resulting in the transmutation of a limited central government into an all powerful one, following the strong tendency of republics turning into empires, as ours has in form. I think the Swiss have avoided this, but I don't follow them closely; I'm not aware of any other counterexamples.

On the other hand our political system is still a lot better than many others, including the Westminster parliamentary one we deliberately rejected unlike almost all others. We can look at the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, a natural right acknowledged in the Bill of Rights, for a good historical example. It was judicially nullified or outright ignored for all the nation's history until 2008, and on the ground that's still essentially true outside of the Federal courts that cover Illinois. It was the political process that brought us back from the brink (and there's enough political power outside of Chicago and its closest suburbs that Illinois is also partly a example of the latter).

Yes, doesn't have to be a nearby router though. The point is: your device broadcasts the names of all routers it's connected to. You just need to listen, then spoof the name, then the device will connect to you.

If the target device is already connected, you just need to DoS the router it's connected to and the device will reset the connection and start looking again. There are probably more elegant ways to force a reconnect than a simple DoS attack too.
The requirement that one have a bachelor's degree prior to entering a first-degree law program gradually took hold, mainly during the earlier part of the 20th century I believe. One reason was to make it harder for people (particularly people from immigrant communities) to enter the legal profession. Another reason was to increase the prestige of the legal profession by turning it into a graduate degree program. This latter reason is also behind two later developments (making it standard for the law degree program to be 3 years, and rebranding the name of the degree from the traditional LLB (Bachelor of Laws) to the pretentious JD (Juris Doctor). The 3-year standardization was not fully in place until the mid-20th century, IINM, and the LLB->JD rebranding largely took place during the early post-WW2 era. The JD rebranding no doubt had something to do with the high prestige enjoyed by the medical profession by the mid-20th century.

As for why the bachelor's degree is required for medical schools, I don't know as much about that (I'm a lawyer and have studied the history of the US legal profession a bit). I suspect some of the reasons are the same (other than competition with the other profession, since I think the medical profession was the earlier mover here).

Edit: postwar -> post-WW2 as I realize most HN readers may not have grown up with that long-default US usage of "postwar".

I'll play along with the hypotheticals and assume that the NSA don't lie when questioned by Congress. In that scenario, the NSA can give reasonably straight answers that don't compromise national security.

"Are you spying on suspected terrorists?" - "Of course we are. That's our job."

"Who are you spying on, and how?" - "We can't reveal that. It's National Security."

"Are you spying on people that you have no reasonable suspicion of being terrorists?" - "No."

"Fine".

The problem comes when you have lie about that last one when asked by Congress.

Anyone who cares about being spied on abandoned Skype long, long ago. So now governments have tools that let them spy on ordinary people, but not their purported legal targets, who have moved on to more secure methods of communication directly in response to dragnet-style surveillance, while if it was kept low-key and appropriately targeted and selective, many would likely not even know.
I assume these are intended specifically for Intel employees (i.e., targeting technologies and areas they have internally), rather than for any positions located elsewhere. And there, possibly meant more as a reference than a teaching tool.
I immediately commiserated with this article when I saw the headline, because I have the same problem. I wish the resolution of the blog post was something other than "break the big thing in to little bits and do those" - something that I've known for a long time. For me, the most successful thing I've come across, and coincidentally the hardest part to change, was not being a perfectionist and just getting to MVP. Sometimes you have to say no, and just finish.
This is JavaScript: The Infinitely Many Ways. Shouldn't the right way remove at least a few options from the table?

I've found a sweet spot for myself, at least for single page apps which is what I work on most of the time. jQuery, Require.js, text.js and JSLint. r.js for building release versions. Those, along with a small "view" class I wrote whose constructor takes an html string, finds all elements with a data-vid attribute and adds properties to itself pointing at those elements. Markup is kept in bite-size html files, loaded by require during development but compiled into the single js file for release. Also, I can't remember the last time I used a jQuery selector.
Sort of a blunt way to put it - but I agree.

The biggest problem with all these QS apps & wearables is it gives me TONS of really beautiful, useless data.

There's no action steps:

- no "you sleep optimally when going to bed at X and waking up at Y"

- no "you need to walk 15,000 steps for the next two months to hit your weight loss goal.

QS is a start - but there needs to be some sort of data interpretation for this stuff to be useful.

> Claims of shortages of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) workers "have no support in fact and no connection to reality, "

Have to say that's the evidence I find in much of the developed West. I watched a program in the UK last night where they were flouting the Government encouraged idea that over 100K new STEM graduates were needed a year - many of my friends leaving University with STEM degrees or thinking of enrolling on such degrees haven't bothered because job creation at that scale doesn't exist.

With outsourcing and offshoring by the bucketload it's refreshing for this Ron Hira guy to point out the reality for many.

While this article may be correct on a few points, the idea that Magento should bundle every feature under the sun is silly. That is what the module marketplace is meant to provide. And even some of the features tagged as missing ARE provided in the Enterprise Edition if you are inclined to pay for a license.

I think the bigger issue with Magento 2.0 is the missed opportunity to use the backward compatibility breakage to clean out some of the horrible bits of home-grown code in Magento and replace them with 3rd party libraries.

If anything, I think Magento should actually drop features from core and become a solid platform for others to build upon.

EDIT: Speeling :)
Every single little thing he mentioned shouldn't be in the core product. Magento is not an all in one marketing, shop and aftersale solution; it is an eCommerce platform. Anything above/beyond that should be a plugin/separate solution.

Actually I think CycleLove has a different problem — the "a blog is not a business" one.

Although it was never intended to be a business in the first place, I want to angle it in that direction, and that's the part I'm struggling with now.
Agreed. I think the AOL:Facebook comparison makes the most sense.

All of those ads prompting you to visit a company's Facebook page are today's version of the "find us at AOL keyword So-and-so" that you used to see all the time in the late 90s.

Possibly, although I'm not that keen on my CPU fans spinning up just to scroll through a web-page.
I 100% agree with this.

I honestly think Magento should basically drop almost every core 'feature' and just become a rock-solid platform to build upon.

When you turn your WiFi on, you can be tracked and attacked very easily. This is been known for a while, though not widely enough.

If at one time you connected to an open network, your devices continues to scan for that network. I can spoof that network, you connect to it, and then I intercept all traffic. A full framework has been created for this, complete with the ability to fingerprint your browser/OS and send exploits to your device [1]. Even if you only connect to password protected networks, it's possible (without access to the real AP) to let your clients send parts of the EAPOL handshake, and then perform a bruteforce attack. Weak passwords are cracked, meaning I can again intercept all traffic and possibly exploit your device.

So you only connect to one single network, strong password. Good. I can still track your MAC address. Even with one single device I can estimate the distance and the angle of your signal [2]. Hence I know your location, at all times. So you prevent MAC address tracking by using an identifier-free link layer protocol [3] (this doesn't exist in practice, only researchers made a demo showing its possible). Though a lot better, even with such a system it's possible to track the movement of devices purely based on the fingerprint of the physical WiFi signal [4]. Given sufficient location data it's likely to again (automatically) de-anonimize the dataset and track your movements (it's more complicated, yes, but still possible).

I havent looked at it recently, but the code used to be awful, which is perhaps where the rewrite comes in. But giant PHP applications with even more features are not really the future, these things need to be built as sets of APIs and libraries that you can put together to add the features you want (which are complex).

While I want them to be true, the claims that Facebook is dying don't seem to be supported by data.

Facebook's recent engagement report (also posted on HN) showed that the percentage of users 25-31 has grown by 32%. The percentage of people 35-51 grew by 41%. And the percentage of those over 55 grew by 88%.

What other commenters probably mean to say is that Facebook is dying among teenagers. Even so, the website still has over 13 million teen users. And the users in the older groups are arguably more valuable from a financial standpoint because they have direct access to more disposable income.

Maybe you're skeptical of the report because Facebook helped generate it. Okay, I can understand that. But even if the numbers have been inflated to benefit Facebook's platform, I think you'll be hard-pressed to find any legitimate, large-scale study that doesn't show significant growth in the 25+ demographic.

Uncool? I think so, and a relatively small demographic of young people agrees with me. Dying? Definitely not.

Ratemyprofessor.com already does this. My local community college actually advertised that they have "Great Ratemyprofessor.com scores!!".
>they cost 2/3 of what the front-loaders do.

I just searched sears.com for "washing machine" and they are comparable in price.

>Front-loading machines have larger capacities by virtue of not having to make room for the agitator

New HE front loaders don't have an agitator believe it or not, however, front loaders are still more energy efficient and can hold far more clothes per load. Its easy to overfill a top loader. You can probably get two front loader loads per one top loader load. My parents have a HE front loader and my mom hates it because if you overfill it even just a little it starts itself over again and the wash takes like an hour and a half.

It was the same for me for several ideas/projects that i started with.

Then i realised what was the reason makes me not touching the project after a while...

The first steps are always known and can be done by almost everyone.

- Buy the domain

- Construct the idea

- Even, start coding the project

And here comes the reasons why you slowly starting not to touch the project anymore;

- You realise that you are not sure how to deploy this on production.

- You realise that you will need a business model and you are just a developer/designer and have no idea about those.

- Then comes the tax issues, and realisation that you need a company.

- You don't know how to licence your idea/project

I can list some more but these are just enough to make you feel that you need to find some people to help you which is not free but expensive unless you have friends that are expert in those areas.

Yep, you give up the project...
Same way. I'm a 30%'er. I'll do the name, branding, front end mockups... but then I'll lose it. I wont want to dive into the back and write any backend or server code.

That's why you need a team. Everyone has optimistic days and pessimistic days. On a good team you all wont have them at exactly the same time. You're team will push you through and help you finish.
It is indeed still awful. I know someone who works in Magento and they frequently come to me with genuine WTF bits of code. Added functionality would be a nightmare.

A rewrite is sorely needed, and will help developers who have to work with and on Magento to save their bosses time and money.
How much evidence is required to stake your claim to whatever goods were seized? "Innocent until proven guilty" is still a founding principle of the rule of law, although your arguments make sense if we don't consider that part of it. The US justice system has in many cases removed itself quite far from the ideal concepts of the rule of law, and I don't think this is a good thing.
I was thinking about MAME (more specifically, about MESS). If two groups benefit from a single effort, it seems to be an good investment, even if it costs nearly twice as much.

Also, using emulated hardware could cut down the usage of the real pieces, which could then be better studied and preserved. Doing less builds on vintage hardware is, actually, a good idea.

Yes, that's exactly why, because the FCC said to do it that way. There are countless examples of "why is it this way" being answered "because that is what some arbitrary person picked."

I think ex-Brigadier General Janis Karpinski would beg to differ, per Wikipedia she "was reprimanded for dereliction of duty and demoted to the rank of Colonel on May 5, 2005", which of course also ended her Army career that year.

I would argue there's almost as much gross overstatement of how bad G. W. Bush was as there is overstatement of how good Obama is. Certainly a lot of people are coming to that conclusion, perhaps in part as we see so many examples of things that were bad when Bush did them that are somehow good when done by Obama. Bush's biggest crimes were beating Gore and therefore ending the Clinton era, and of course Governing While Republican.

Why I write (and why you should write, too)
I was diagnosed when I was 12, about 13 years ago, and I can usually still detect when I'm under 60 or 70. I'm one of the tight-control types that the OP mentioned (6.4 A1c), so this happens a few times a week. I usually notice it when I can't think, and instead wander over the same two thoughts back and forth. Suddenly I realize I'm thinking in the tiniest of circles and go have some yogurt or something.

The first thing my endocrinologist asks when I see him (literally, before he even asks how I'm doing today) is if I can still feel lows. I think he'd get me on a CGM pretty quick if I reported I couldn't.
