While I at the moment can not give all the referneces. One thing we know is true, is that there is a far greater amount of monopoly or cartel created by goverment then by market.

If you look long enougth you can find some cartels and monopolys that are stable for some time. Even when most of these where not able to really raise prices where far.

If you look at goverment enforcment of cartel and monopolys you will find a unbelivable amount. If you add tarrifs to that (ie blocking import of steel from japan). You will find that regulation far more often helps big buissness.

This is what people dont understand about free marketers. I do not belive that it is impossible for goverment action to imporove short run and maybe even long run conditions, but I belive it is far more like that this power is misused.

So yes you can go out of your way and figure out some asymetiric cost for whatever groupe you like. You can then go on and argue that in order to rebalance this the state needs to do 'something' (perfeclty show in the thread by all the people point out that employes can easly switch jobs and therefore there wage is below equillibrum). Stigliz for the win. This all works out great in theory but runs flat against a wall in practice. When it does run against a wall its of course just because of 'republicans' blocking all sencible policy or whatever.

So this is the reason for free market views, it is not as some people seam to belive that 'the free market is always perfect'.
By Betterige's law of headlines [1], I can safely answer this question by "No".

Go is nice but not great(lack of generics). Haskell is great but FP is not for everybody.

I'm still waiting for a C like alternative with garbage collection and "leaner" syntax. If anybody knows such a language, i'm opened to suggestions.

I can think of a purely utilitarian reason to offer a bug bounty: Getting paid a bounty directly by the government is easier and safer than selling an exploit to someone who will use it for criminal purposes.

Granted that in an ideal world this sort of incentive wouldn't be necessary, but if we lived in an ideal world, code wouldn't have bugs in it, too.

And another reason: If the government pays bounties for confirmed bug reports, a prospective reporter can have some confidence that they won't react to the report by taking punitive action, which might otherwise be a very real concern; HN periodically sees threads about employers and clients reacting extremely badly to unsolicited exploit reports, and the worst those can do stops short of imprisoning somebody.

Of course, all of this assumes a government not so sclerotic that it'll take an interest in fixing bugs without first having to be motivated by a horribly embarrassing public compromise, which means it's probably not going to work in the UK, or for that matter in the US either. But it's a nice thought, I suppose.

The next decade could belong to Fortran. It just could. Because of time travel and stuff.
Thanks, I'll check this out. I'm very interested in x64 SIMD. This is the sort of thing I've been doing with it: http://arxiv.org/abs/1401.6399

Although I'm talking up Intel's compiler, and do think it usually beats GCC, my actual experience is that I've largely given up on writing anything performant in C (muchless C++). If you give a compiler an inch, it will figure out way to hang itself. I'm having much better luck doing the whole function with inline assembly rather than instinsics.
Go can't compete on performance with C and has a fairly primitive GC. It also isn't nearly as expressive as python or ruby. It seems like Go fans hope that if they repeat it often enough that Go will somehow "own the next decade".

You'd also need some retrograde thrust on the payload, and for your orbit to be inclined over the target.
The fact remains, how can we as American people move on, when all some are trying to do is concentrate on the past?

Should we not concentrate on the future, and pay attention to the rest of the world and the active slavery that still persists today?

I think Americans are spoiled. I also think that what we say, is comparable to a poop sandwich because everyone wants attention on their own problems instead of living their life and bettering the progress of the world.
Its not needed, its a technology already eclipsed by what manufacturers and even Google are doing. Self driving cars rely on various sensors; RADAR and laser to name two; to protect from collisions and the like. They do all this without communicating with the vehicles around them.

Simply put, smart cars don't need to input of other vehicles to know how to perform safely, in fact not relying on other cars makes them safer as they cannot be spoofed nor act on erroneous information.

Then of course there is that big privacy issue that this proposal tries to skip over.

The Soviets had a system that was based on putting warheads into a fractional orbit, rather than on a ballistic path - Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_Orbital_Bombardment_...

I can't find any details, but most descriptions seem to imply that they needed to have a rocket engine on the warhead to come out of orbit (which is what I would expect).
This is actually pretty cool. I'd be curious to see how well it's adopted, though, since the majority of dev chat that I see occurs in IRC.

I'm torn on the subject of car tracking. Firstly it's not like it doesn't happen already, it's just that the authorities don't have access to the data. Secondly, drivers in a lot of countries are simply morons (read: you meet several when driving for 30 minutes), though I can't say I've met a lot of them in US.
On the other hand, there are the privacy and security (and possibly safety) issues...

But personally, I wouldn't buy any car that has any outside communication, possibly except for locks, heh.
Go is the most exciting new mainstream language to appear in at least 15 years

I'm not sure Go even counts as a mainstream language, as I see no evidence of significant penetration in the industry. It has a couple of interesting features (goroutines might be an example), but it's missing other useful features that numerous modern languages provide (generics probably the most obvious example), it has a not-quite-C syntax that seems to be different but without really improving very much, its GC strategy doesn't seem to fit with positioning it as a systems programming language, it has limited facilities for robust error handling... I'm not sure many people would even have noticed it if Google hadn't been behind it.
Yeah - you throw an iron and your clothes into a drum which you can spin by pedalling.

The idea is only a prototype, however, and might need some fine-tuning.

He's not going the one true scotsman route. He's actually saying that there _isn't_ such a thing as a true scotsman at all, because each group of scots has its own ideas of what a "true scotsman" is -- which is a pretty insightful point to make.

There is no such thing as a 'true' libertarian, because many groups with only tangentially related credos have adopted the name as their own, and many groups have distanced themselves from the 'libertarian' label even though they espouse beliefs closely related to what is often understood as being libertarianism. It follows that, when you criticise people for being

Funny how the article doesn't mention the X-37 at all, artist renders of which are still available at the Dryden photo gallery and it's listed as "1999 - present" (Although this gallery hasn't been maintained since 2005, so read that as 1999-2005+).

http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Gallery/Photo/X-37/index.html

So it looks like it was initially being planned to be run as a NASA project out of Dryden.

Edit: Which I could have found out just by reading wikipedia rather than maintaining a encylopaedic knowledge of the old dryden photo gallery.
Yeah, we're currently building an irc bridge so that you can use it with your irc client of choice.
I work in a pretty big GDS/IT company and that wouldn't happen in our systems. Virtually no airline asks for such a retarded business rule, flexible classes allow generally 1 to 5 changes in departure date/time(no questions asked), after that it requires manual intervention on a case by case basis.
that wikipedia photo is it standing on it's tail, so it's 30', hence the scale with the human.
Microsoft's new CEO is Satya Nadella
Now I Know is probably my most favorite daily read. It's a tiny chunk of seemingly useless knowledge, but it always makes me aware of how much is out there that I don't know.
As someone who doesn't participate in memes, uploads a fair number of photos, and has been consistently on Facebook since 2006, my Lookback video was actually pretty awesome. The music matched the flow of the content, and even the mood of the content.

I like this. Good job, Facebook team.

Are they seeding too? or just leaching?
Good point -- also, dealing with corner cases, writing tests, and maintaining the parser as the language evolves are a couple more things that might take a lot more work.

Do you know of any strategies for error reporting, or of tools that implement? I'm always on the lookout for cleaner approaches to this.

"If they wanted to make it a weapon, the first thing would be to give it a serious main engine"

I don't think asking a robotic arms control activist about orbital mechanics and aerodynamics is going to result in anything insightful.

Plane changes are very expensive if you don't have the aerodynamics to get cross range. So if you have a traditional triangular capsule, yes, you do in fact need a honkin' big engine (and more importantly, a big fuel tank...) to expand your "landing zone". But if you have wings, even if the L/D ratio is not exactly a high performance glider, you still have an immensely larger "landing zone" so you don't need a honkin' big engine. Thats why they invest mass and volume in those wings instead of engines, tanks, and a parachute.

Another way to phrase it, is without wings you pretty much land somewhere along the ground track you would have passed over plus or minus like ten miles. But with wings, you can get hundreds, maybe thousands of miles of cross range glide. Your orbit can be over Chicago but you can decide to land in Florida.

We've had the strategic nuclear triad for decades, this thing's certainly big enough to make a strategic quadrilateral or maybe one leg of the triad is getting too expensive and needs retirement.

If you have patience, perhaps for a doomsday weapon or strategic deterrent, you don't need wings, giant engines, or much of a parachute. Its obviously a sensor platform not a weapon.

So what kind of sensor platform exists where its cheaper to launch 1000 one terabyte hard drives in a NAS than to downlink all that stuff. Well, "strategic" photographic imaging, maybe some kind of wide bandwidth SDR... The kind of thing were you press the record button and a year later gather demographic strategic intel, rather than a handful of snapshots of one semi-tactical target. Like how many total radar units does Iran have, well, you listen to the entire surveillance radar band over the country for an entire year, then do a lot of analysis once it lands. Not for "gimmie a pic of that one target today" type questions.
Microsoft Board Names Satya Nadella as CEO
The free market is all about fighting for your own self interest. The purpose of government is to ensure those members with special power or position are not able to extort those advantages.

ANYONE in their position would do this. It's not a matter of belief or politics or even ethics. It's a matter of oversight. The people responsible for providing for the free market have failed to protect relatively less powerful market players.

Let's stop pretending that the "free market" isn't a dirty nasty place.

Nginx 1.5.10 with SPDY 3.1 released
hi @guptaneil,

we provide a much deeper level of integration with GitHub, and also have integrations with Travis, Jenkins, Trello and are working on more. our issue mentioning and markdown are two really great features built for developers.

there are a few other advantages, for one we handle both free open source projects as well as private conversations. so you can have all of your chat in one place.

for people adopting a new chat programme, inheriting your "social graph" in the form of your org members and repos you belong to/watch/star also means that getting up and running with gitter is really fast and simple.
Not for a public project... And github got rid of their private messaging system, suggesting that people email the package maintainers instead. So, the preferred route would probably be to do that. gov.uk could have an email address that functions as the front end to a private bug tracker.

Who said the X-37 has to survive though? That can do a 180 and decelerate using the main AR2-3 at the cost of a decaying orbit then drop the payload at 4km/s.
One of the differences with video game piracy (at least a few years ago) is that video games tend to have a short window after release when they make most of their sales. Everyone in the industry knows that a game will be pirated eventually so DRM is seen a way of delaying the availability of pirated version of games to maximize that window of sales.

Obviously, this varies with publisher, studio, and game, but that was the rationale I heard when I worked in the industry.
You're also funding them to make the content you enjoy.

Bug bounty rewards are orders of magnitude cheaper than the damage the bugs can cause.

If they have a bug report form at all and employ people to screen and respond to bug reports, the bounty costs probably wont even add up to the cost of 1 additional employee

Microsoft confirms Satya Nadella as new CEO
The bigger news here might be that Bill Gates has stepped down from his role as Chairman of the board!

Although this has been rumored to happen for some time, its still a big "changing of the guard" step for Microsoft.

Good luck to Bill in his new roll on the Board as "Founder and Technology Advisor".
I suggest another approach:

textql -query "select count(*) from persons.csv"

...because csv files are basically tables. This would also allow you to do joins on multiple files:

textql -query "select p.name, c.name from persons.csv p inner join companies.csv c on p.companyid = c.id"

minidlna seems like something I'm going to be looking into, thanks! And for dns, I use a domain which I manage using cloudflare and a script [1] which gets run by cron and updates the cloudflare entry every day or so. Didn't wrote the script though, found it somewhere and had to edit it a bit to work again.

Something else I have been looking into is splitting up the load, using the RPi only for streaming and xbmc; and handling downloading and NAS capabilities using a different device, such as a MIKROTIK RouterBOARD (which I'm afraid isn't going to work).

"Most valley leaders are" - I really doubt this.

Even for those of whom it is true, I would bet that they appear 'Democrat' only to help them sell stuff, as part of their brand.

Most people who use software are in the cities. And, city-dwellers are generally liberal-leaning. So, it makes sense for these leaders would try to seem liberal as part of their marketing campaigns.

Do you know if something similar exists for mailing lists?

ie for every github project you get a project mailing list to discuss development on a higher level than individual bug reports.
Been using Gitter with my Dev Group for a few weeks and we all love it and switched completely to it as our main Chat. It's worth a try and the integration of services like Trello and - for sure - Github is just great! Also Auto-Embedded Links (YouTube, SoundCloud, images (jpg, png, gif)). Really love it and I'm looking forward to the apps. :)
Well said, I agree completely!
