>It's a reasonable suspicion,

Let me get this straight. You believe that a multi-billion dollar company hires people to post multiple comments on a forum (which less than 1% of their total customers read) under the same username, and only 10% of those are positive (assuming its true, i have zero interest in digging through anyones comment history) - per year - just so a small percentage of people reading those comments might go out and buy a product without doing further research?

>Surely you know how common it is for people to be hired to pose as bloggers who are in fact paid representatives of specific companies or political causes?

No, actually, I don't know how common it is.

>As to the OP being paid to doubt your sincerity, just ask yourself what his motive might be -- who might pay for that to happen. In other words, exercise common sense.

Um.. I am not the person who posted the original comment (or the article).

>Yes, unless it's justified by evidence. It's justified by evidence.

You have a bizarre definition of evidence. The "evidence" in this case is the subjective opinion of one person who is interpreting the subjective opinion of another. There is no actual evidence that anyone was actually paid for anything. People using the "I can't think of anything else" argument don't convince me.
Sadly, this standard that was once common, is going away.

I think all ginger-haired people should be sent to live on an island!

Woah there Fuxy, that's a bit nasty! You shouldn't say things like that.

--

And, of course, you didn't. It doesn't really matter whether or not you agree with the statement, if you fear that ginger-haired people will take offence, or if the more extreme ginger-haired will attack you for it - the fact is, if someone deliberately misrepresents your views by making up something that you didn't say and putting your name on it then you should be able to have a say about whether or not that thing is disseminated around the world. In the case of this film it's quite possible that being associated with it might well harm the actor's ability to work. It's quite reasonable that they should go to court to express the fact that they didn't agree to be a part of what was eventually released.

This is really quite a simple case of deception - the actors were told they were signing on for one thing, and the director made something completely different. He lied to them. He shouldn't have done.
I don't know if you've read the writings of Bostrom/Hanson. You are very wrong in terms of both their message, and their purposes.

They do not misunderstand evolution. In fact, considering they're both respected professors, you might want to give them some amount of "benefit of the doubt". If you're basing your position about them based on one article, you really should at least consider the fact that you're misunderstanding them.

As for what you say about evolution, I have a hard time with what you call "evolution", because your definition seems to include literally everything that ever can or will happen on earth. So let's put aside the word "evolution" and talk instead of what we actually think is going to happen.

Hanson/Bostrom etc. talk about the fact that humanity will be able to quickly and significantly change what we are, as in rewriting our genetic code, rewriting our software, and so on. (If you want to call this "part of evolution", that's fair, but beside the point I'm making).

They consider this a "rise" in terms of what we, right now, consider to be better or worse. If you'd tell me that in 10 years, humanity will be replaced by cockroaches, you're right that it doesn't matter to "evolution", but it is certainly something that I, as a human, consider to be a step down.

In similar ways, rewriting our genetic code or making other changes to humanity can be considered an advancement from humanity's point of view.

That's the kinds of things they are talking about, and the reason they use phrases like "steps up the ladder".

Worse than the idea, the page removes the scroll bar, and activates some custom-made, super-slow smooth-scroll. (Which is the first thing I deactivate on a fresh Firefox install.

There are some very old themes in this story.

Maintaining strong & effective sanctions against apostasy & heresy is a central component of "organized religions," their historical rise as official state religions and their positions as power wielding institutions. The collaboration of state and church to enforce a ban on heresy has been one of the most dangerous cornerstones of many of the most totalitarianism institutions of ancient, medieval and modern history.

In my opinion, it is a very bad thing to tolerate.

As someone interested in Go, I looked at it because it was worth a look...

I don't expect every HN post to be "important" as that differs from reader to reader. The fact that this ended up on the front page, and doesn't contain much easily consumable information for anyone not interested in Go, should possibly tempt you to have a look at the language, instead of assuming voting rings or bots.

I personally have minimal interest in many topics that get covered on HN. I usually just don't click on them, but if they get enough coverage I'll usually check the topic out to see if my preconceptions were flawed.

I wondered what sort of international airport can you drive onto the runway of without being stopped so I looked it up:

http://dot.alaska.gov/faiiap/pdfs/GA_Control_Surf.pdf

It's the Alaskan sort secured by yellow lines and red signs. Now I'm not saying Apple isn't at fault here but I would put greater blame on the airport. I would expect if not manned or electronic gates with an intercom at least there should be a barrier the of some sort to act as a warning. I'm not sure signs and lines are enough for something like an airport.

I guess being Alaska manning gates/opening windows or getting out of cars are seriously unappealing activities in the Winter.

Wow. This code is pretty bad. I mean, it's bad for a college project. It's horrible for a company dealing with large sums of money.

Some random red flags:

- There's a class with the name of the application. (Issues: Scope, SRP)

- There's a class with 1708 lines of code. (Scope)

- There's a switch-case statement that runs over 150 LOC (readability, maintainability)

- There's a string parsing function in the same class as transaction processing (Separation of concerns)

- There are segments of code commented out (are they not using source control?)

- There's inlined SQL (maintainability, security)

- There's JSON being generated manually & inline (SoC, DRY)

- There's XML being generated manually & inline (SoC, DRY)

- To sum up function _Route_getStats($path): XML production, JSON production, file writing, business logic, SQL commands, HTTP header fiddling, hard coded paging limits, multiple exit points...

The amount of refactoring needed here to bring this code up to acceptable quality is simply staggering.
I'll chime in: Me too! Me too! Me too! I also think it's a great story, well told by Michael Lewis.

This teenager figured out exactly what was happening in the stock market in the late '90s up to the 1st dotcom crash (IMO the 2nd crash of Internet momentum stocks is coming soon). The kid was very wise for his years. The SEC, on the other hand, appeared to be clueless clowns.

I was, however, disappointed to see the links here to the kid's recent activity. It looks like he's simply continued his promotion of penny stocks. I hate to sound cliched, but "meh". I see a lot of wasted potential.

Why? Because this isn't 1999. His activities can't be nearly as profitable. There's too much noise on the Internet, he's now a little fish in a very big pond.

But what do I know? Not much. In 1999 I was an American "salaryman", watching incredulously while stocks levitated almost to the moon, and yet I wasn't smart enough to make a few bucks speculating before the whole thing imploded.

It looks definitely better than most proprietary car manufacturer software out there, but now that we're talking about extending smartphones' screens and features inside cars, something more interoperable would have been appreciated. It'll probably come later, just not from Apple.

From the brief amount of information available so far, CarPlay doesn't seem to preclude the in-car system from supporting other mobile phone OS's.

For instance it seems possible to equip a vehicle with, let's say, the Open Automotive Alliance's in-car Android system that can use Project Mode with Android phones and also implement CarPlay for when iPhones are present. After all, CarPlay appears to be dependent on the phone's OS for all displays and whatnot, with CarPlay just being the protocols to link the in-car system to iOS in the necessary manner.

This is just speculation, we can't know for certain until some of the technical details emerge, but it seems unlikely that car manufacturers would limit their systems interoperability to one platform.

This is 7/8. Your counting pattern doesn't line up. If it did, the first group of the "12 12" would hit the accents set up by the groups of 3. In other words, it would be _4_ evenly spaced notes at the beginning of the phrase:

X__X__X__X_X_

Notice how the four first notes each have 2 rests between them? That's not what is in the audio. The groups of two are delayed. The actual counting pattern is: 123 123 1234 12 12

X__X__X___X_X_

Putting the second unaccented note in gets:

XX_XX_XX__X_X_

The correct rhythm is:

| 1e_a 2_+a __+_ 4_ | 1e_a 2_+a __+_ 4_ |

To be blunt I am pretty capable of driving without any maps in the car, or at ignoring instructions that appear incorrect or dangerous. And while Apple Maps might still get it wrong more than other maps, I've never used a mapping service that hasn't gotten some things wrong.

I do hope it supports other mapping apps though, or if not I hope Apple gets pressured to support that. And I don't really see why they wouldn't, it makes their product better.

> You are very wrong in terms of both their message, and their purposes.

They repeatedly refer to evolution's goals, but evolution has no goals. They are wrong, and I am citing the standard scientific references to evolutionary theory.

http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/misconceptions_faq....

Quote: "One important mechanism of evolution, natural selection, does result in the evolution of improved abilities to survive and reproduce; however, this does not mean that evolution is progressive"

The above flatly contradicts your sources, who argue that their version of evolution is progressive.

> In fact, considering they're both respected professors ...

While trying to engage in scientific debate, avoid this common logical error:

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

> They consider this a "rise" in terms of what we, right now, consider to be better or worse.

But that's wrong -- we cannot possibly know what nature has in store for us in the future. And no evolutionary process, natural or unnatural, can or should be described as a "rise". When applied to human beings, this smacks of eugenics, of engineering the "defects" out of people. It assumes that we understand nature better than we do, or that we can outwit nature, or that we can implement eugenic projects without destroying society. We keep proving that we can't do that.

> In similar ways, rewriting our genetic code or making other changes to humanity can be considered an advancement from humanity's point of view.

So it is a eugenic proposal. All the worse for us. Eugenics suffers from many serious defects, one being that we can't outwit nature, another being that implementing eugenic plans inevitably falls apart for practical and political reasons.

Relating it to evolution is simply a way to give it a pseudoscientific gloss and put a respectable patina on a dangerous social idea.

How can this not be an exact measure of a time signature, since you can pick an arbitrary amount of time, loop it and subdivide it into parts?

No it does not. It's MUCH better experience. Maybe firefox has a crappy implementation of it? I've been using smooth scroll for as long as I can remember (except on linux where it was slow) and it is really that much better. Jumping randomly and trying to figure out where you were? Better than naturally move the view? Really?

I have a Surface and an iPad, so I completely understand what you mean about file management.

But if you do find yourself in an iOS world - the killer app for file management on iOS is actually Dropbox. Organise your dropbox account on another computer -filing everything as it should be, then it will sync up to your iOS device, and you can access everything as required, including pdfs, images, word docs, etc. It's not perfect but it does work well.

I also have another file management app which allows me to connect to my NAS via the iPad. This is also very useful.

Of course, neither are necessary for the Surface, but I prefer a lot of the consumption features of the iPad. Web browsing on the iPad is superior because of screen quality and the browser being much more adept at gestures.
I read it as saying that Japan was not a country with solid laws that relate to Bitcoin. One requirement for having solid laws, would be some sort of compulsory security audit of the code by independent experts. Japanese law did not require this, so did not have solid laws relating to Bitcoin exchanges.

Can you explain what's wrong with this? If I had 1 million in $info[ 'balance' ]? Would $bean->Coins overflow?
This article basically confirms what has previously been agreed by HMRC.

The initial problem is that they wrongly classified Bitcoin as 'vouchers' rather than as a digital currency. Which incurred a 20% VAT charge on the value of Bitcoin. So users would effectively have to pay 120% of the spot price to buy Bitcoins in the UK. Now that levy is only chargeable on the exchange fee (if there is one).

Although this is welcomed news the biggest obstacle still remains for British Bitcoin based businesses and that is banks. All British banks refuse to do facilitate Bitcoin related businesses due to it's unregulated status and until this changes there will not be any 'bitcoin economy' here in the UK.
