The untraceableblog.com below is a great resource.

However, in the end, there is always text analysis though that can give your identity away, which the untraceable blog does not address.

That's why you possibly need a ghost writer that you provide with a script or a robot audio recording if you want to go 100% sure. You need to be able to trust your ghostwriter a 100% though then. :)
Peter Murray Rust (author of this blog post) is a really great man. He's been a tireless advocate for dismantling privelege and setting knowledge free for several decades. I'm proud to say he's becoming a sort of mentor to me. Last week I spent a couple of days with his research group and saw this software in action - it's really impressive.

They can take an ancient paper with very low quality diagrams of complex chemical structures, parse the image into an open markup language and reconstruct the chemical formula and the correct image. Chemical symbols are just one of many plugins for their core software which interprets unstructured, information rich data like raster diagrams. They also have plugins for phylogenetic trees, plots, species names, gene names and reagents. You can develop plugins easily for whatever you want, and they're recruiting open source contributors (see https://solvers.io/projects/QADhJNcCkcKXfiCQ6, https://solvers.io/projects/4K3cvLEoHQqhhzBan).

As a side effect of how their software works, it can detect tiny suggestive imperfections in images that reveal scientific fraud. I was shown a demo where a trace from a mass spec (like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ObwiedniaPeptydu.gif) was analysed. As well as reading the data from the plot, it revealed a peak that had been covered up with a square - the author had deliberately obscured a peak in their data that was inconvenient. Scientific fraud. It's terrifying that they find this in most chemistry papers they analyse.

Peter's group can analyse thousands or hundreds of thousands of papers an hour, automatically detecting errors and fraud and simultaneously making the data, which are facts and therefore not copyrightable, free. This is one of the best things that has happened to science in many years, except that publishers deliberately prevent it. Their work also made me realise it would be possible to continue Aaron Swartz' work on a much bigger scale (http://blahah.net/2014/02/11/knowledge-sets-us-free/).

Academic publishers who are suppressing this are literally the enemies of humanity.
From the way the question was phrased, I think this is precisely for learning how to do such things. You still need to start somewhere, and as long as you know you should not take inconsiderate risks, you can screw up sometimes and learn from your errors.
And look what this refusal led to. Wouldn't it make sense to democratically ellect a new president if you don't like this one? At least fewer people would die. And also, you had a president from the opposition and he did absolutely nothing to approach the west. Or maybe it is the case that too many ordinary people of Ukraine don't want to be part of Europe but feel more at home with Russia.

I am the biggest Charles Hamilton fan that I know. I'm also the only Charles Hamilton fan that I know. In 2009, Charles Hamilton pissed everyone off?/had to go to rehab?/Somehow fell out of the Hip-Hop blog game loop. As a result, a huge fan of his (yeah, that's me), had no idea he was even still alive.

Isn't the internet supposed to prevent this? Aren't WE ALWAYS SUPPOSED TO KNOW EVERYTHING WE WANT TO KNOW? Someone famous can DISAPPEAR?

Apparently, they can also reappear. Now it's 5 years later. Charles Hamilton has released 96 projects I have never heard. I have a lot of catching up to do... oh. wow. Thank you internet. I will download those posthaste.
> MongoDB solves the problem of developer time being expensive.

I don't know about this argument. I am involved with a project to build a rare diseases database, and it might get moderately big (maybe ~1Tb). Somewhere on a related project a MySQL server crashed, so the guys building this new system have jumped right on the NoSQL bandwagon (despite the fact we clearly have relational data). 6 months ago, it was all Mongo DB. Last week it was Tokyo Cabinet.

I am currently benchmarking Postgres (they seem not to have done that). I think I could achieve similar functionality in two weeks what these guys have taken 6 months to do using all the NoSQL solutions they have had tried (and needed to learn).

When you have mature frameworks like Rails or Django that take a lot of the grunt work out of traditional RDMBS systems, I don't think it really is correct to say that Mongo DB saves developer time. In Certain areas, yes, but think there is a bigger picture to take into account.
Isn't the president democratically elected though? heh

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when the US government started calling the NZ government and making promises (and threats) to make sure this happened.

It would be naive to think otherwise. The USG is amazingly patient. Kimble has been on their radar for a long time. Now they really want him, and I would be very very surprised if they don't get him eventually.

Somehow I really think he has a small chance to stick it to the man, so I kind want to root for him, even though he's more than likely a tool.

I would not be so extreme: they used to be a necessary evil before the Internet became mainstream. They are more of a millstone from the past that research still drags with it because changing an institution is hard.
Very sad you have to compare the Ukrainian situation to the Occupy movements. The Occupy movements had no clear or single aim, virtually no public support and where mostly non-violent.

Even the measures taken against them where mostly in accordance with civil rights, even making unusual allowances for destroying other people's property. The actual violent incidences are nothing compared to the Ukrainian situation.

No sign of any civil rights there...
Yes, it's a repl, sort of, but calling it "repl" is like calling a new text editor "editor" or a new programming language "language", seriously confusing and impossible to search for.

Edited to be more specific - it's only the publishers who are systematically restricting knowledge that are at fault. But no matter where they've come from, what they are doing now is holding humanity back on a massive scale.
I think you are being deliberately obtuse.
We are talking about exploitation here. Finding bugs in the human operating system and exploiting them. It's technically a legitimate business, but is it moral, or ethical? no.
How Your Eyes Movement Influences Web Design
I genuinely can't tell if you understand what I said or not. (It isn't my finest work, but if you read my reply in the context of the post to which I was replying, it will make more sense.)

I'm well aware that there's a risk-spread over the base rate for mortgages. My point was that the GP said he worked in a bank pricing credit and never had to figure anything to do with inflation; he only had to deal with a cost of funds figure and therefore banks don't price inflation into credit products.

My point was that cost of funds figure WAS the inflation figure.

Now, if you're arguing that there isn't 100.000% correlation between the various cost of funds rates and the various measures of inflation, I'll agree, but posit that the correlation is high, just not perfect.
Exactly; and the mechanical case is often "field fixable" by a person with a modicum of experience learned while tinkering with cars (a mate of mine in a few minutes in my case), whereas now a tech needs to connect a laptop somewhere on the car to even begin a diagnosis.

Marginally relevant sidepoint: I remember reading that the one of the advantages enjoyed by the Americans over the Japanese in WWII was the formers' significantly greater expertise in mechanical maintenance of front-line equipment gleaned from their culture of fixing up and maintaining automobiles at home.

Is blocking government buildings for two months paralysing top offices a peaceful protest? This could not last forever. Again changing the government the usual style is more effective than this.
When peaceful protests are made impossible, violent revolutions are inevitable. When you put thousands or tens of thousands of people in a protest, depending on how outraged they are against the government, it might erupt into a violent revolution. It's on the government to not let things get that far, but not when the revolution is already knocking at their doors, but way before that. When they abuse the power, and pass laws banning protests, what do you think is going to happen? Because this is what the Ukranian government did.

I think you simply don't understand the situation. You won't understand what it means to have no hope against changing your government, even when the government continues to abuse you, while you do what to change things somehow, and you can't wait decades for it to happen, because the government's abuses are too much too bear.

Americans only pretend they want to change things, by liking stuff on Facebook, and then they just accept the situation and live with with, because they are too lazy to even go to a protest anymore.

Until Americans learn how to do a protest like what happened with the Arab Spring, and is happening in other countries, I think you need to stop teaching others about how to protest against their governments, deal?
“Startup Design Framework” Website Builder Review
>They are more of a millstone from the past that research still drags with it because changing an institution is hard.

It's not that changing is hard, since it would be easy if that's what everyone wanted. It's that you have many competing forces (perhaps that's what you mean by "hard"). The most important is scientists who made their careers in the current system--the people who publish yearly in Nature, for example. They have tremendous political sway and it is not in their interest to change. They will even admit that it is not an ideal system, but no one likes giving up being King.

Edit: I should point out that it is more complicated. Science does need a way to judge which scientists are doing valuable work and which aren't, and currently Impact Factors are one of the main ways this is done now. We don't yet have a great alternative.
yup, we are positioning it for worldwide audience. Though majority of our users are from India, we have made major inroads in acquiring users from many European countries.
Propaganda: "Information, esp. of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view". I mean, come on, a beautiful emotional girl, edited video, music, disturbing images. If this is not a text book example I don't know what is.

Propaganda, by nature does not show objective facts and depend on "useful idiots". There are countless examples, parent mention Nazi Germany which had its own propaganda ministerium. In recent history, during the first Gulf war, we could read how Iraqi soldiers pulled infants from incubators in Kuwait City, turned out to be false, but was part of legitimise the war. In the second Gulf war, do you remember secretary Powell's united nations WMD speech?
Add back the features that were removed with Python 3 (mostly the print statement, maybe some library features?). Then let the user choose what str and unicode mean. Either via command-line flag, modeline for the file (similar to "#coding: utf8"), or via something like:

bytes = strings.bytestr
str = strings.unicode

Why? Not because I miss the print statement much. The goal is that 95% of 2.x legacy code will now work with the new Python 3.x+. (I'd call it Python 5 because 2+3=5.)

Oh FFS, the computer did not crack the "puzzle". Mathematicians worked out how to reduce a near infinite calculation to something finite, and then programmed the computer to do that checking.

The quotation from Parker gets it exactly right: "The computer did the heavy-lifting, but it was the insight and creativity of its human programmers which made it possible."

Even more, this just shows that the result is true for 2. The Erdős question requires that it be true for all N.

I see it also as a good way to repel people hating Scala. For example, after reading this article I'm sure that I won't even try to apply for a job at Coursera: zero time wasted for both me and them.
But that's exactly what pg/YC wants you to do!
Nothing in the Larus article states that extra software overhead is just wasted without any real benefit; we do get benefits from it:

* Increased functionality

* Increased programmer productivity (programmers are often more scarce than available CPU cycles)

* The bottlenecks have changed

The thesis being challenged in grandparent (pjmlp):

> It applies to the bloat in software development nowadays with layers on top of layers that seldom add any real value to the product.

implies that we are just being wasteful for no real benefit, but we are obviously getting more functionality in or writing more software via increased programmer productivity. Now that power is more of an issue for mobile, we are seeing programmers be more thrifty again, but that is not without a cost in productivity.

Ask HN: Help me choose my job title (technical product guy)
Hey HN,

I need some help, and as you are one of the smartest bunches I know I thought I’d just ask here, even if it isn’t really on topic for a community for “solo-founders and bootstrappers”:

Back in November I got the opportunity to join a small startup in the mobile payment space to build the product and technology (as first and then only employee). The last three months were great as I moved to a new city and teared down the old (and shitty) prototype, basically redefining the business on the way, while building the foundation for the things to come in the next year. Everything is coming along great, and I think it was a very good decision as it brought me back to doing things that have a real impact.

Now we’re starting to build the team, and it’s time for me to position myself in the ‘corporate structure’. When I joined, I just called myself “Product”, “Product Manager” or “Product Manager Mobile” depending who I was talking to.

Our first hire is a woman that takes the other part of “product”: While I attack it from the technical side, she will focus more on customer acquisition, communication and marketing. After we worked together for the first few weeks, I think we are a great team and compliment each other perfectly. I see myself as the product guy with a technical focus, but also work on design, business or communication next to that. She sees herself as the product gal with a focus on communication.

To get her on board, our CEO promised her the title of “Head of Product”. So I need a new title, as my current one would imply a superiority of her on me. I can add the “head of” to my title as well, as we just added the first few developers. And voila, here is where I need your help:

Any idea what I could propose as my new title?

PS: Yes, titles can be considered bullshit. But the company and industry don’t, so I better don’t too ;)
i don't know about leaner, but static linking is faster. symbol resolution is a heck of a task to be run on every program load, especially for larger programs. i remember before linux optimized its dynamic linking, starting a gnome or kde program was a glacial process.

as for static linking being leaner, i have been told an entire shared library needs to be loaded if so much as 1 program needs a part of it, but i doubt it. i don't see why shared libraries can't be demand loaded just like executables are. then again, demand loading a shared library would be a more complex task, and i have reservations about complexity just like the suckless community does.
they should have called it "rep" and put up a rant proclaiming "REP IS THE ONE TRUE REPL"

Yeah, I don't understand the comparison to Excel either.

What I really want is SQL for JSON. Regular SQL is a declarative language for transforming flat lists of records into other flat lists of records, and the challenge is extending it to allow nested records. Has that been done?
Invited. Welcome.
Thanks for all the feedback, it's really appreciated.
I need your email address to invite you.
Thanks for the links, which I think would lead to a more productive discussion because they are a comparison of similar frameworks. There are of course difficulties with gauging how much attention each gets (a lower CVE count is not proof of security), but overall Django looks better here.

I was thinking of the third one on this page (I suppose strictly speaking a vuln in a gem outside rails) which was pretty serious:

http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2013/2/11/SEC-ANN-Rails-3-2-12...

but there was a related YAML bug too at the same time with serialize, which also allowed users to supply input that was then instantiated (madness!). Do lots of people use serialize? I've never explicitly used it, unless it is used behind the scenes somewhere. I remembered the fuss being over JSON because of broader impact but may have misremembered.
"can't work" is a strong statement. What we have seen in the arab spring is a new dynamic of "whoever shoots first looses".

Assad in Syria actually used Gandhis example to win in the end: He made sure the most rational, less radical and especially the non-violent opposition was crushed first.

All these "ethnic raids" came from basically "nowhere", maybe they were also encouraged by the regime, and then this contributed to more violence. End result: No opposition that can effectively be supported from the outside, and vanishing sympathy or compassion for the most massive genocide in recent history, much less any hope of peace.

In Cuba, on the contrary, Castro is facing a new, well organized and well disciplined opposition, and is finding it ever harder to attack them.

Basic point here: The stronger force has an advantage when the weaker opponent resorts to hatred and violence. That is why in China, Turkey, Syria and Ukraine we see the government's media outlets put a huge effort into portraying any dissidence as violent and hateful...

that one paragraph... if i were you i'd be wishing i could edit that comment! you most certainly do not "cut down on file load time." the linking process is a complex task, especially if it's to be performed with any efficiency. i remember when starting a large dynamically linked executable was a glacial process on linux, far slower than the time necessary to read the entire executable from disk. no sensible system loads the entire executable when it's statically linked.

your claim of running two library versions at the same time is downright hilarious! this is far harder with dynamic linking, where you need to be sure of loading the right library on every launch of the affected programs than it is with static, where the libraries are just built in to the executables.
If you're building these things it depends what your target market is. How much you want to pay for flash, RAM, packaging, etc. When flash space is a premium (I'm talking 2MB) it becomes a tradeoff between using a tiny C webserver and having a few extra functions or adding a Lua interpreter and dropping those tools. We're talking operating in a margin of a few hundred kilobytes.

Also, some of these firmwares are based on an existing code base, it's just cheaper to hack it than replace it.
