And you can avoid software which you know is patent encumbered. Even if I'm stuck walking through a minefield, it makes sense to avoid stepping in the couple places I know there are mines.
Clojure, like Java, has primitives.
And I don't understand why you'd include it anyway, as functions are the primary form of abstraction in Clojure.

Not at all. I think that kind of thing highlights where Microsoft's priorities are with Windows, and therefore the kinds of things you should be doing with it.

If you buy a civic to take to the racetrack, you shouldn't be amazed it doesn't come with a roll cage. Civics are supposed to be on racetracks, and windows isn't supposed to be a serious-workload OS. It's no problem though, you have plenty of alternatives for both.

There was never a debate on "stem cells", only embryonic stem cells. AFAICT, the same people who have been against embryonic stem cell research have always pushed adult stem cell research as an alternative, which had already produced results at that point. The insistence on embryonic stem cells always seemed pretty stupid to me.
What you are describing sounds more like OKCupid for engineering jobs.
Almost all my Amazon packages come by USPS now, it used to be fairly evenly split between USPS and UPS. Not sure how it happened, but I prefer it.

As far as misuse of USPS, if the postal service is getting paid for it, not only is it not misuse, it's revenue they need.
Ask HN: Is it true that I can't disable my keyless entry?
So two days ago at least 5 cars on my street were broken into (the police report says they think the thieves were using a wireless entry hack) and I wrote an article about my experience (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7132783).

Since then I have called my local Honda dealer and they said that they could not disable my keyless entry and this was an issue that only corporate could deal with (with skepticism that it even happened) and then the corporate headquarters told me that local dealerships were the responsible party and that if they said nothing could be done- then the only thing I could do would be to "work with local law enforcement to protect against theft"

The customer service rep also said that this was the first time they had heard of this type of attack, and that they had no solution they could offer me to make it so someone could unlock my car at the push of a button.

At this point I just want to shut off my keyless entry but both Honda and Toyota (my neighbor also called to follow up) both said you can't turn of keyless entry. If that is true, what should I do (besides not keep valuables in the car- I don't want my airbag stolen or even some person to be able to open my car unabated)?

I'm not confused. I'm protesting the use of gift card exchange as an example of innovation.

I phrased it in terms of sensible regulation because you proposed that the alternative to bad regulation was no regulation. If you cited a specific rule that was onerous and explained why it didn't actually accomplish anything, that would be different.
Why do you feel it is contradictory? I think having method names end with "?" whenever they return a boolean value is quite intuitive. They seem to stand out more than having such method names start with "is" or "has". YMMV.

CloudFlare broke the Internet and how we learned from it
I once eavesdropped on some HR people talking shop, and heard the unsupported claim that thanks to employment laws in the US, new employees are rarely profitable until their second year with the company, which is why it is important to hide the company's warts from the new employees.

After that first year, it isn't quite so crucial to keep you happy. That explains why you never get the raise you were expecting after the annual reviews. You are now profitable, therefore paying you more would reduce profits and make you a less valuable employee.

And so we must go job-hopping.

As people have pointed out:

1/98 = 0.01 02 04 08 16 32 ...

1/998 = 0.001 002 004 008 016 032 064 128 256 ...

but there's also a degenerate case, where you have no 9s at all:

1/8 = 0.1 + 0.02 + 0.004 + 0.0008 + ...

and what's surprising here is that everything adds up and gives you the terminating decimal 0.125 that you were expecting.

What if we gave you an organization/collaboration feature where you could also save items you like, organize them by item type, tie them to a budget, collaborate with others to decide or get help with design. The idea, is that we are with you through every step of the process.

Would that make you more inclined to buy through us?
Fair points, but I think it's important to highlight the distinction between Elasticsearch BV, (the company - who will try to continue to offer commercial services and support to grow their business - fair enough) and the Elasticsearch project, which is the open source project.

As a company, Elasticsearch BV will reinvest back into the Elasticsearch project, which will increase the adoption and value of their commercial services. Both exist independently, but the success of either improves the other.
Beautiful UI!
I can relate to that. But I'm willing to give companies a pass on a crappy job posting if the position itself is interesting.
having source code has nothing to do with patents. its completely separate. likewie for the license. both could be public domain (no license) or licensed. in this case its licensed under the terms of the gpl v2 and a bunch if the code is probably patented, (again, compiled or not, that doesn't change anything)

Just as a note to startups here considering "penetration tests":

"Penetration test" is a term that means wildly different things depending on who you talk to.

The kind of test discussed in this post is the most common kind. People in the field call them "network penetration tests". These are the projects where someone runs nmap and Nessus and Metasploit against your network, dumps the Nessus results into a Word document, and calls it a day.

I'm not wild about these kinds of projects, and even less wild about the firms that specialize in them. They may find things on your network that you need to know. But they generally involve people just running some tools and interpreting the results, and then, if they find something blatant, spending the balance of their time using that finding to pry their way into the rest of your network.

The latter part of the project --- the part where they get to your database, dump your hashes, pivot from machine to machine, &c --- is not a great use of your security dollars. It's generally always going to be the case that if someone finds a way to run code (or SQL) on one of your servers, you're done for. The important finding is the flaw that gets attackers into your network. The findings that come after that look scary, but since there's not a whole lot you're going to be able to do to reliably lock down your internal servers, they aren't very useful to you; the next team that finds some other way onto your servers will embarrass you just as badly even after you "fix" the internal flaws from the first team.

You can get a license to run Nessus pretty cheaply. You can download nmap and Metasploit yourself. If you can build a product, you're more than qualified to run them yourself. If you don't have the bandwidth to do that, don't pay too much to have someone else do it. Also, demand that the team that does the netpen breaks out the findings that actually get them into your network, versus the less valuable findings like "older version of OpenSSL detected that we don't actually know how to exploit" or "customer records recovered after we took control of your database", and make sure the team concentrates on finding new ways into your network, rather than on extending their access into your network once they do find a way.

You'll need to ride netpen people not to waste time extending access, because the Fortune 500 companies that are the bread-and-butter clients for network penetration testers actually do want people to spend time extending access and finding "shock and awe" internal findings --- they're doing these tests for a different reason (to justify security budget), not for the reason you're doing them (to make sure it isn't easy to break into your servers).
>* I would not consider the risk viable myself but it amazes me how a person who is staring into the black abyss of the possibility of death would encourage their friend to let them die alone.*

And you'd be surprised how one friend might die bitter and full of rage for the other actually going on with this, and the other might live to only be full of regret for the BS inspired-by-movies move he did.
I wonder why he writes that the lockerbox didn't work. Deutsche Post introduced them here in Germany a few years ago and they are used to capacity.

I've had this "I'm never gonna do it but it sure would be nice" idea about a refrigerated postbox rollout for years:

First you put a refrigerated lockerbox in the most densely populated neighborhoods to get the unbroken refrigeration chain infrastructure flowing. Then, over the years, homeowners could install a two-sided refrigerator in the external wall of their house. That refrigerator would have electronic locks on both sides. The locks on the outside can only be opened by the various deliverymen and the lock on the inside can be opened only by you.

The remaining risk would be a deliveryman cleaning out your fridge, but since everything is logged these days, we'll at least catch the guy.
It's not about his identity, it's about the legitimacy of his claim to the account.

Just for the record, I have no reason to believe he's saying anything less than the truth - but I can't fault Twitter for basically presuming malice until they have conclusively documented the opposite.

I think plenty Israelis want the Palestinians gone from Palestine and I think plenty Palestinians want Isreal erased from the map. When that is the goal of both parties, no I don't see them wanting peace.

Of course, we're making a huge generalization here, plenty of people on both sides don't have this as their goal and certainly want peace, which can only be achieved through coexistence. But when coexistence is not your goal, when the ideal terms for both parties is the dissolution of the other, then no; there can really be no peace.

Edit: btw I'm not really talking about the specifics of Yasser Arafat & Yitzhak Rabin listed by the OP, just your statement, which implied something more general then just those two.
I don't think people "get it".

This is a microserver, designed to connect up I/O bound resources to each other. Imagine a cache like Squid running on this thing. Imagine mulitiple RAID-0 SSD drives on one side, and 20Gbps going out through the network.

This is NOT a computationally difficult task. For computationally difficult tasks, you have 8-core $2000 E5 Xeons (which get more and more efficient the bigger the workload you have).

However, filling your datacenter with $2000 Xeons so that they can spend 0.01% of their CPU power copying data from SSD drives to the network is a waste of money and energy.

The A1100 looks like it will be a solution in the growing microserver space. As Facebook and Google scales, they have learned that a large subset of their datacenters are I/O bound and that they're grossly overspending on CPU power.

Big CPUs -> Big TDPs -> higher energy costs.

This machine is designed with big I/O throughput (multiple 10GbE and 8 SATA ports on-chip), with the barest minimum CPU possible to save on energy costs.

The upcoming competitors to this market are HP Moonshot (Intel Atoms), AMD Opteron A1100, and... that's about it. Calexda's Boston Viridis has died, so that is one less competitor in this niche.
That would be nice. I think there are a lot of other cleanups that will come sooner.
That's quite true, but for many of those we're starting to see the pushback, however gradual, on such invasive services. It's pretty funny to watch.

As for the renting house/car bit...that's far from widespread (for better or worse).
I think $20 per mo is steep. Should be more like $5-$10.
>What is the point of life?

Being good and helping each other instead of climbing stupid mountains for machismo?
I consider this very strange and alien and I would really like to know what drives people to do this as I don't have this drive myself at all. I take risks, big risks, but not with my life or other their lives, just with money.

I do hope they don't have children / spouses / parents they will leave behind in case of something bad happens, otherwise I definitely would call them idiots. No matter how 'your loved ones support you in your decision' ; that turns out to be mostly bullshit when they are dead and you are left behind (from experience in a few of these cases; not mountain climbing but other extreme sports). Very selfish indeed. Not really worth much or deserving of any respect. Why not do something worthwhile like help wounded in a warzone, at least then your risk makes some sense?
The factually incorrect part is the hidden premise that "convinced that X has never happened" is equivalent to "assigns P(x) = 0". In fact, it is equivalent to "assigns P(x) = epsilon", where the number of possible sequences is several orders of magnitude greater than 1/epsilon.

It basically comes down to saying something like this:

1. 1/x ≈ 0 for very large x

2. x0 = 0 for all x

3. So x1/x ≈ 0 for very large x

4. But x/x = 1

Therefore

1 ≈ 0

This reasoning is correct, but the error tucked away in that last "≈" is exactly 1.
I know, I was being sarcastic.

"...The biggest problem is doing it in a way that doesn't bring you to the attention of those doing the blocking...."

I think this is a HUGE issue that should not be taken lightly. A guy scanning certain websites from Iran IS going to attract some attention no matter how benign his motives. It just won't be taken lightly. That attention can land you on lists you don't want to be on.

I'm not saying that I don't sympathize with his/her situation... I just think that certain actions can be viewed by people with a security mindset as hostile. Indeed it may only increase the number of sites being blocked. As well as, SEVERELY restricting his/her ability to travel without being arrested. And if you attract enough of the right attention... you may find that being arrested is the least of your worries.

And all of this doesn't even take into account what Iranian authorities may do from their end.

Advice like this, given on a public forum via easily identifiable pseudonyms, should be taken with a BIG grain of salt.

I'm assuming you are saying Apple understands the market better because they are doing something (releasing iphone with bigger screen) at correct time to defeat samsung.

Isn't that what Samsung did by coming out with the bigger screened phones? Samsung knew the market was ready for bigger screens when Apple didn't think so, no?
25W includes the I/O.

8 SATA-3 ports and two 10-GbE ports will run you a lot of power. I can't think of a single SoC that supports that much I/O.
I don't think the user 'owns' it at all. I mean, it's pretty obvious that you're just laying claim to some set of bits in somebody else's system. I'm not confused about that :)

I just don't quite see how a username is 'owed' to other people who would use it more, either.

To clarify, I'm not talking about a replay attack. It's a _relay_ attack where they use the RF signal transmitted by the actualy car/key, just over a bigger distance than you would normally expect.
You can also think of adding a pay per use. Since you are talking to a price conscious audience (the non price conscious ones are already using MailChimp). Maybe $5 per use (unlimited mails).
How about a free tier? Both MailChimp and MailJet have it, and the guy is going to pay for SES anyways.

Also, I'd reach out to AWS guys and ask them to provide $50 (or $20 - whatever they agree to) credit to every customer that signs up for your free tier since that'll lead the guys sitting on the fence to explore your product.
Security questions are already useless. What's my first pet's name? Depending on the day, I might have any of three or four answers; I'm unlikely to remember which pet was first, 30-35 years ago, even if I think I can, since if you ask me in a month, I might be just as confident the other way! Given the uncertainty, I might well decide that the best answer is a later pet I remember better, but then which one is that?

I remember the names of exactly two teachers from high school, today, but only because I was discussing something about them with someone else who remembered over Christmas. My mother's maiden name is spelled differently on her birth certificate and death certificate, so I can't tell which one future me might use after forgetting a password.

Recently, I've noticed a trend of having 6 or 8 fixed security questions to choose 2 or 3 from, none of which actually apply to me in a reliable way.

There's really no other solution but to treat them as an additional password field.
people have a long history of taking offense when you don't address them as they prefer to be addressed

from Mohammed Ali and Kareem Abdul Jabbar, not wanting to be referred to by their given names

to all sorts of doctors and professors wanting to be address by their professional titles

to all sorts of adults not wanting people under a certain age referring to them by their first name

you to intend to offend, by all means, offend away

but don't act under the pretense that referring to someone other than how they prefer to be referred to won't cause offense

It's a bit unclear in English nowadays, because in Scandinavian-written academic English, 'professor' sometimes refers only to the formal title Professor, which corresponds to what Americans sometimes call "Full Professor", but in other usages it includes a broader set of faculty. For example the three academic titles in Danish are Professor, Lektor, and Adjunkt, but in recent years their official English translations are Full Professor, Associate Professor, and Assistant Professor, which better reflects how the roles have evolved in practice. So are the latter two included under the term "professors" when a Danish institution writes something in English? Sometimes yes, sometimes no...
>People do it because it makes them happy.

People do things for a lot of reasons. "Because it makes them happy" is very low on that list of reasons.

Like, say, drug addicts and wife beaters, don't do what they do because "it makes them happy", the same thing applies to a lot of other stuff.

Other reasons: getting away from a situation that makes them unhappy instead of confronting it (e.g easier to risk death than deal with their family), trying to prove their "manhood", fashion for rich people, wanting to belong to an exclusive club, etc.

It really is worth it. It is a pain to first set up and change every password to some random string (which most vaults will generate for you), but after that it's smooth sailing more or less. I recommend LastPass, it's free (unless you want the Android app, but even then the premium account is super cheap).
This is great!

As someone who is currently diving into Rails it's certainly really helpful and inspiring.

When you reverse-searched on Google Images, did you notice that their captions often distorted the facts or outright lied?

I think that's the bigger story here: it's not that "new media" or "kids these days" don't care about attribution for the sake of giving credit. The photos aren't attributed because it would be easier to find their contexts. If people know the facts, the account would be less interesting and therefore less popular.
