I'm thinking more among the community than from Reddit directly. You already see a fair bit of that kind of peer pressure in some circles [0][1].

Rape is not the same as "sexual intercourse by deception." The key variable is consent.

"Sexual intercourse by deception" could cover anything between having sex while lying about your age (definitely should not be illegal) to having sex while lying about your seroconversion status (often is and probably should be illegal). None of those count as rape, though, because consent had been granted before and during the actual act.

Lying about your long term intentions in order to have sex with someone, or using sex to manipulate someone? That makes you a bad person, but it's not illegal, and you have a really long line of people to arrest if you think it should be.
> DNSSEC is a sideshow.

I recently had the occasion to attend a meeting of a body recommending standards for the Dutch government. (Serving) DNSSEC has been on their "use or explain"-list for well over a year (and the Netherlands apparently leads worldwide DNSSEC adoption.) At the meeting, the other attendees expressed their sincere regret that the DANE proposal, although a great idea, was still too immature.

As you probably know, DANE says that you "MUST" implement "trust this certificate, no matter what any CA says" over DNSSEC; combined with the fact that DNSSEC servers usually hold the signing keys online (NSEC3), implementing DANE is significantly less secure than just trusting the CA's. In fact, the Netherlands put quite a bit of effort into a government PKI infrastructure after our previous CA (DigiNotar) got pwned; it's not clear that requiring e.g. municipal system administrators to handle their own cryptographic keys is an improvement over what we have now.

Which is to say, don't discount well-meaning public servants; "given enough thrust, pigs can (temporarily) reach 6% of cruising altitude." </snark> [1,2]

You can't stop scraping. The only thing you can do is detect them. If detected, there are several fun stuff to do. Like showing different content. BUT: Be aware that you might block a "legal" SEO scraper!
Awesome!!

I've been wondering if the systemic portion of this risk mightn't be helped by allowing judges the power, during bankruptcy proceedings, to magic a small percentage of the balance owed into existence for the lender if the lender also forgives some (larger portion) of the balance provided that the loan is determined to have been a real loan made in good faith. This could help inject liquidity precisely when and where it's needed, while the requirement of someone undergoing bankruptcy, forgiveness of some of the debt, and judicial discretion would help check abuses.
Nevertheless, the public accepted the delinking of currency from precious metals, and modern economies would collapse if this were not true (too much economic value to be represented by existing stocks of precious metals).
If Reddit ever became profitable, I think their userbase would revolt. The average Redditor is pretty anti-corporate, anti-rich, anti-profit, etc etc.

It's more in line with wikipedia.
Erm, I'm pretty sure you can use a shareware version (!) of the Q3 assets. Or any of a number of other things.

The idTech2 and idTech3 engines are standbys of the open sores community--it makes sense to use them for testing graphics drivers. You are far more likely to encounter a bug in your driver than in those engines.
ShitCoin: The Future of Currency
On the one hand as someone who owns half a dozen Raspberry Pis this is really cool news and I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth.

On the other hand, ARM vendors really have to start opening everything up much more than they have or Intel is going to start eating their lunch in the small embedded Linux arena, and I suspect Intel's mobile resurgence with Bay Trail is at least partly behind this "gift" to us all.
Looks like there's nothing new here.
If running "npm config get ca" on my not-yet-updated copy of npm is any indication, they were using the self signed certificate.

By definition, not-for-profit companies don't make a profit. If your company's expenses are always as high as its revenues, then the company can survive forever. So I don't see what your point is.
Yeah. Ultimately they're both trying to deliver incremental improvements to the developer-friendly full-stack payment platform model that had already been validated by Braintree as an incremental improvement on payment platforms that had been around since before the internet. It's updating an old, unfashionable industry for an audience in a particular part of the world, not making "a game that looks a bit like Foo" or yet another Groupon clone. Being incubated by Rocket Internet doesn't necessarily make you a vastly worse-run company than being incubated by YC.
I've never understood advertising on Reddit. It's basically a very anti-advertising community, who will very likely be hostile to your product/service.
The sole advantage Paymill has is that you can make use of it from any EU country. That said my experience with them was horrific. If Stripe continues to expand, I doubt that Paymill will be around in a few years.

Instead of the 10 days approval period they advertised I got hit with almost three months. Some of the delay was caused by Wirecard, the bank they work with. I can sort of relate to that. However the significant delays caused by their own contract manager left me baffled. On average her email replies were delayed by 3 to 4 days. Worse the emails were written without much thought. A slow trickle of unhelpful messages that slowly erodes your hopes.

Was she overworked? Or in need of training, I don't know. But for certain the future is bleak for Paymill, unless they drastically improve the on-boarding process.
Why does this matter? You'll need to get the code somehow, and once its on your machine, it doesn't make any requests. You can take a look at the code to find out if its malicious or not.

Sure, but you don't tumble it all at once. Other commenters showed that these BTC were split up into ~1000 BTC chunks. Each of those could send randomly to different tumblers and anonymize all of their activities to send to a new set of addresses which people aren't tracking, and then from there gradually pull it out of various exchanges to various banks and accounts.
If you are concerned about the security and don't want to deal with putty (I can commiserate), there's always the secure shell chrome/chromium extension. If you haven't seen it already you might want to give it a look.
I'm always suspicious of people proudly announcing that they're giving something to charity. We already have a system in place for every organisation to give part of their money for the public good: taxes. As a democratic society, supposedly we already have mechanisms in place to decide how to spend this money for the public good.

Why, then, is it laudable if an org decides to give to charity instead of paying taxes? This takes the decision of how to spend for the public good away from the public and instead the company decides. Is it because in practice we distrust the government and our decision-making procedures too much and we trust private companies more?
Even if free as beer, the demo version is non-free, in an open source sense.

Sure, but you could use any of the many projects built on the open Q3 engine that are actually free as in speech. (And maybe child-friendly)

Also, to be clear: I find it odd, but still a fun endeavor.

I fail to see how this is any different than people putting money into bank 1000 years ago and a bank robbery destroy their wealth. Isn't that a perfectly accurate description of what happens when an exchange gets hacked? Isn't that more or less what happens when a bank makes bad investments and loses your money, so that when everyone attempts to withdraw at once (bank run), the bank collapses [assuming no "FDIC"]?

As far as I'm concerned, the biggest problem isn't "regulation" or "central authority" or "is bitcoin currency?" it is "who takes the loss when sh*t hits the fan?"

In the bitcoin world, the winner is YOU.

But as an end-user, why should you care if you use a shared merchant account or 'your own'? As long as I can set the name of the business that appears on the card transaction, you're fine. With stripe I could even customize this name. With Paymill, they force you to put http:// in the beginning or some other stupidity...
That's not the sort of thing being discussed here, though. The example in the linked article is a search query that is literally the title of a Wikipedia page that is #1 in the results.

You want to talk loaded comments? You're reducing "I'm glad to move away from a project that breaks functionality for all users with no notice" to a quibble over an SSL certificate change.

That npm as a project thought this was the correct way to handle this kind of transition is very unsettling.
Do you have a citation for that? Is it true that if you make methods of payment accessible to anyone, including people who don't have credit cards, people would still prefer to sit through ads than to pay the lost revenue from that unwatched ad? If I could instantly whisk away a penny for each ad I don't watch or whatever, I imagine this might be more popular.
This is an interesting point. This value is all speculative until the it's resolved by conversion to another currency. The entirety of my LTC holdings are from mining coins, trading out to USD before it dropped, then 'buying' in again. I ended up with around five hundred bucks worth, mostly due to just smart trading, costing me nothing.

The value has recently dropped, and I'm sad that I didn't cash out before, but I didn't actually lose anything. I'm still up the entire value of my portfolio, I'm just not up as much as I was before (and could have cashed out at).

I do feel bad for the people who bought in and then lost it all.
The Allure of Built-In Coffee Makers
I faced the same decision and decided to go with SpaceX. Going from a job I didn't enjoy to one I love was worth the lower salary. I think 'compensate fairly' is exactly what SpaceX did. They were getting great employees for $X. It didn't matter that I was getting paid $1.2X at my last job or that Google was paying $1.3X. I wasn't drafted, I didn't have to take the SpaceX offer. If SpaceX couldn't get good candidates at $X they would make bigger offers. It doesn't make sense for a business to pay more for an employee than it needs to. I don't pay my pool cleaner extra just because I can afford it.

To summarize the article, the advantage of restarting the SSC instead of rebuilding the LHC is that the original setting in Texas offers more room for expansion than the present location of the LHC. The bad news is that the revived SSC would need to host a large number of scientists in a state noted for its philosophical proximity to a scientific stone age.

Please, don't ever send money nor coins to these guys, they're scammers. M4v3R used to run http://bitmarket.eu and lost all the users' coins while running some sort of (according to his own words) "hedge fund" around December 2012. Around April 2013, with bitcoin around $50 he "kindly" offered to reimburse everyone over time, valuating each coin at 10€ arguing that it was their value when he lost them. I told them wanted my 10btc, not money, and they still owe me to this day.

He never said he was changing because of this issue. (Logically, if he's already been changing over then it can't have been because of an issue that just happened)

I work with the Facebook CDN team and (amongst other things) maintain the data pipelines that log requests, the tailers that fetch/annotate the requests, and populate the Hive tables that we used for this research and other improvements to serving content.

There is certainly a lot of infrastructure that this is built on that many small teams don't immediately have access to in other companies. Whether it's self-service hardware provisioning, Scribe logging infrastructure, tailer frameworks with checkpointing and retries (and job systems to schedule them), and large amounts of available space on Hive for experimentation. But most of the software parts are available as open source, so it doesn't need remain unavailable.

This is my first team at Facebook that I've been heavily involved in this scale of data capture and analysis, but it only took a few days to get up to speed through a combination of great tools and good documentation. Being able to drop a Python file in a code repo to ensure that some complex data warehousing task takes place every day after that is pretty powerful.
Taxes mostly go towards the welfare state. This is only an effective use of your money if you believe imaginary lines on a map make some people's quality of life more important than others.
How Steve Perlman's 'Revolutionary' Wireless Tech Works
To me it is kind of like waiters and tip being an expected part of their wage. Instead they should just have a real salary and a tip is something outside of the norm for exceptional service.

Just owning a website doesn't mean you are entitled to make ad revenue. If your website can't generate money in any other way then your business model should probably be changed. Make it easy to accept donations for exceptional quality for people who are willing to donate.
Ask HN: Georgia Tech OMS CS Program?
Was anyone in the inaugural group? It looks like they're going to open up applications for Fall 2014 and I was hoping to gather some experiences and opinions before I apply.
Calling it a choice is absurd. People don't choose where they're born, where their family lives, where their job opportunities are, and where they can get access to essential health care and other resources.

People like you or me certainly choose to move to LA or Seattle or San Francisco for a cushy tech job, but that's a tiny percentage of the population.

To me, this is like telling a diabetic that they 'choose' to inject insulin and check their blood sugar every day. Certainly they can exercise free will and stop, but there are severe consequences that make that not a realistic option.
You got a public API? I'd love to add this exchange to Cryptowatch[1] right away ;)

It was almost certainly the intent on purchasing the domain, but that doesn't establish that one was actually running. My understanding of what evidence is available leads me to think it never was (particularly a lack of anyone posting anything about the domain in conjunction with Magic anywhere except comments like the above).
I was bitten by this yesterday and I didn't know WTH was up. This is good to know. I had two or three package installs work flawlessly and then they started failing randomly across servers (all staging, so it wasn't that big of an issue).

This is a double-edged move. I will boycott Reddit if it donates to non-profits I do not wish to support.
"Bad coin" diluted into legitimate users just means the people who were thieves got away with spending the money. That's bad.
The answer to this important question was tragically not found on our Fireform example, so they had to turn to Google. Haha
That's ... still a dangerous way to accomplish the update. You're disabling a key safeguard that ensures you're actually talking to official npm servers, then re-enabling the safeguard after running the code that whoever-you-got-it-from provided.

I'm sure the likelihood of experiencing a MITM attack here is low, but the security consideration needs to be as widely advertised as the solution.
What you're saying insinuates I must turn on the sprinkler when it rains, which is not true. Just because I have my whole life doesn't mean I will for eternity. It's simply a correlation - I tend to turn on the sprinkler when it rains. The only causation is that the grass becomes wet when the sprinkler turns on.
Concealed carry is already legal on several dozen college campuses in the US, some of them for more than a decade. There hasn't been a single instance of someone threatening to shoot or shooting someone else. It has been a non-issue.

Not to mention the author doesn't even seem to know the circumstances in which someone can obtain a permit to carry. He says colleges are "densely packed concentrations of young people who are away from home for the first time, and are coincidentally the age associated with alcohol and drug experimentation, and the commission of felonies." Which is true. And none of those people can legally carry a firearm, as the minimum age to carry is 21.

Carry permit holders commit violent crimes at a staggeringly low rate. If you disregard anecdotes (as someone will inevitably bring up Zimmerman, etc), you are safer in the company of a permit holder than a non-permit holder.

The product is an aggregator of sorts, very flat domain. The only thing apart from the items being collected are categories which are denormalized on aggregation - they have a short lifespan anyway.

RE: Write/Read/Update heavy, it's going to be a mixture. Once users are present it will be read heavy. The backend is constantly collecting new data and updating if changes are spotted.

I'm 99% certain a document database/ non-relational approach is suitable here. I have nothing against MongoDB - I just want to make these decisions now. I've enjoyed using it so far.

Thanks for feedback!

If I want to buy someone Reddit Gold, I can easily spend an extra $2 or whatever I want on donating to cause du jour. Having that bundled into Reddit Gold is useless and actually counter-productive, because if Reddit donates to a cause I disagree with I now actually don't WANT to buy Reddit Gold.
Worse, for the Java fans like myself, they really forked Java.

So now Java 8 is around the corner and Android is still playing catchup with Java 7, which is only fully supported on KitKat.

I lost my brother to this also, but he's only 40 and it started much longer ago and with talk radio (Limbaugh, Hannity, etc). I'm in the process of losing my 72 year old mother to it too.
