What's your point? Prior to deposit insurance, people routinely lost their life savings to bank catastrophes.
I think that is Apple's mistake. I have to go into settings and turn the two finger pref/next pages to three, three finger spaces swipe to four just to avoid the problem you described.

And why the hell don't they enable "tab to all controls" by default?
My point wasn't the specificity of the argument, merely that you had misinterpreted the argument and gone after its originator misguidedly, to the conversation's detriment, something you're continuing to do with me by accusing me of hindsight bias.

Your résumé is well-known around here and you don't have to set the terms of the discussion about every security-related issue on Hacker News, particularly when it's this heavy-handed and you get recognition upvotes. All I'm saying.
Hah, you sure are a consultant: your last four sentences basically repeat themselves. ;)
Adjusted for inflation the PS2 was $395 on release, the PS1 was $446, the PS3 was $567. When the NES was released in 1986 its price was $412 adjusted for inflation.

As an "amateur historian of video games" I figured you know that 400 dollars is almost average for a system's price.
I understand the difference is considerably larger taking inflation into account (the first price was more than 10 years ago). But more than that, he's opening up sanitary pads to public discussion and reducing the taboo, which brings them to women who previously wouldn't have bought them at any price.

And of course he's also creating jobs for women and helping rural communities be more self-sufficient. There's so much more happening here than just discount products.
Facebook's Next Big Potential Acquisition Is Not Your Average Tech Startup
A typical nagios alert will fire if it hasn't been updated in X seconds. Sometimes the queue of incoming events gets backed up and nagios doesn't receive the results of service probes until X+5 seconds or 2X seconds later (due to internal nagios design problems, not the services actually being delayed).

So, nagios thinks "Service Moo hasn't contacted us in 60 seconds, ALERT!" when the update is actually in the event log, but nagios hasn't processed it yet.
Why would coming soon after the Apple bug make it more likely this bug was deliberate?

The Hipster Music Index
The purist approach is nice, and we've all been there, but eventually you'll want to pool those db connections for speed, to comprehensively handle security, and to do things Apache does not do with the URL's like dynamically register/unregister paths in URL's that have no concrete corresponding script file.

Of course you can attempt to add those things yourself, but the best code you'll often write is that code you don't write at all because someone already did. Don't reinvent square wheels.

> Negligence alone won't let you pierce the veil.

Sure, but undercapitalization alone can with certain types of creditors, and gross undercapitalization can be a significant factor in favor of piercing the veil in other cases.

And actively concealing a known "leak" of funds held in trust for customers arguably goes far beyond mere negligence.
Snowden to Speak at SXSW
1) The bill is to the government and is typically in the range of $750 per day per tap.

2) Any network admin inside of telecom will tell you that this is a terrible system to implement and maintain.

3) Zero operators perceive wiretapping as a profit center; it is an annoyance that is tolerated as a condition of doing business in the US.

If you evaluate the decisions that operators make as participating in the game theory that is our world, they're actually quite rational.

Lastly, if you think $21M represents a material payoff to a company like Sprint or AT&T, I would suggest that this is a few orders of magnitude shallow for such a concern.

The cited article is an example of a reconciliation fraud of a very minor nature, not an example of hush money from the government.

I no longer have any idea what you're talking about. If you want to pose an argument about how TDD applies to building things like TLS stacks, I will read, consider, and respond. Debating TDD for TLS stacks isn't a waste of time, even if I do think the debate has a foregone conclusion. If you want to talk about me personally, I'm not interested.

I don't understand why the broadcasters care enough to make a big deal about this. Isn't their goal to get as many viewers as they can, so they can make more advertising money?

If Aereo is distributing the content to more people, aren't they getting more viewers? What is the problem here?

You seem particularly motivated to discount the awakening effects of LSD. I never mentioned seeing problems in society, so as far as I'm concerned that's a strawman.

Are people wrong to feel profundity in the mundane? Is there another way to interpret the belief that LSD or access to altered states could change society?
I'm not talking about getting those last few seconds in an 800m event. Obviously, at that point VO2max becomes a blunt instrument of little worth. The point still stands, though: aerobic capacity (as indicated by VO2max) is a necessary (even if not sufficient) condition to be even listed on the same page with these people. No pain endurance in the world can get your feet into the door.

Of course, all the boring training doesn't make for a nice story.

Not sure if troll. The answer is no. 5-6 inch resolution means that one pixel will represent 5-6 inches. You wouldn't even be able to see the phone.

Edit: Sorry, understood your comment now. The real problem isn't resolution, it's "getting a good angle". Unless your target and the satellite's orbit are magically aligned at a precise moment, you're going to have an extremely hard time getting a satellite into position in a reasonable time (the best commercial satellites can do is around 6 hours).
The correct way to do error handling in C is using goto statements. Dijkstra did not mean local goto statements. He meant something you will not find in any C code you are likely to use on a rhel/debian machine.

Apart from the other reasons mentioned here, it probably translates to compact code which fits well within level-1 instruction cache in modern CPU when translated into assembly, without any need for additional lexical scopes and stack allocations.
Well the argument is bullshit.
I've heard of at least one in the northeast US. It stretches for some distance along a highway, IIRC. A local water tower was painted as the Sun, and the planets and distances are scaled accordingly.
C doesn't have exceptions, so goto is commonly used to emulate that style of programming.

last time I checked, these rural villagers do not have running water which affects how they bathe, clean clothes, prepare food etc. Add in religious rituals and you have some powerful persuasion to do things in a way that seems backwards to us.
I think the issue is that because of the DVR capabilities, users can now skip commercials. Also, because people won't be watching as much TV live in the future, the Nielsen data will get wonky. As we move towards an age of streaming, advertisers will pay more or less for placement in shows based on viewership data... but if Aereo controls the stream, then CBS / NBC / ABC would have to pay them to get that data to their advertisers.

It's about control and antiquated business methods. This too shall pass.
I think "edit" is appropriate, since you aren't just randomly modifying the DNA, but modifying the DNA at a specific location in order to introduce a specific modification. Furthermore, in biology we usually use "modify" to mean more exotic changes, such as adding specific chemical groups to the DNA (e.g. methylation) that change how cells interpret the sequence.

You don't separate the headers from the body, producing a potential vulnerability for header injection or response splitting attacks. Both are severe security problems and both are easily avoided by using a web framework.

While it may not appear to be the case, developing secure web applications is rather complicated, that's why we have frameworks and that's why these frameworks can be somewhat complex. That doesn't make not using them the simpler solution.
This needs to sink into the collective brains of the world's brand designers, many of whom still standardize upon proprietary fonts.

My company creates sites for a variety of brands, and we run into the same problem over and over again. No, we can't hotlink your copy of Frutiger. No, we can't host our own copy. No, we won't accept an email stating "we give you permission to use this font" in lieu of a license from the actual foundry. No, we're not going to embed typography in images or flash. People are often clueless about the technical and legal difficulties of proprietary fonts on the web.
The title's implication is clearly that Apple is using BlackBerry tech for CarPlay, a very link-baity title. The reality is that QNX is able to implement CarPlay. A better title might be "Apple's CarPlay compatible with BlackBerry's QNX".
No, it doesn't. You tell Aereo where you are, and it gives you your local broadcasts only (last time I checked).

Hi, I respectfully disagree with your comment that the issue here is the potential for avoidable loss.

Loss of value is the counterfactual to value, or to put it another way, you cannot worry about avoiding losses until you have something to lose.

The regulator has therefore sent a signal to the market that Bitcoins have value by the virtue of the very regulation it will use to protect consumers from the loss of Bitcoins.

My point is that not all market signals carry equal weight and a market signal given by a regulator is significant.
I'll address the sliver of this comment that is actually relevant to the thread: the distinction between "testing" and "TDD" is not important to the point I'm making.
What evidence is there that there actually were "many eyes" on this code? If anything this underscores the importance of license compatibility in order to maximize the utility of the "many eyes" resource. Honestly, GnuTLS seems to exist purely for ideological shim reasons, and it's not surprising that ideological shim reasons don't motivate "many eyes" to bother show up.
I don't like to repeat a previous comment but it is relevant to this discussion - just a few days ago, I wrote:

The number #1 requirement for a currency is trust and confidence in it. Why would anyone trust a currency which has no consumer protection whatsoever and provides zero recourse for when things inevitably go wrong?

What I mean is, everyone is hating on Mt. Gox but conceivably what happened to them can happen to any of the exchanges out there now. There is no mechanism to prevent it and there is no recourse for users when it does.

This is why bitcoin is interesting as a protocol but a non-starter when it comes to being a true currency. A currency requires backing by a central authority. No amount of code can make up for that.
Yeah you got it right.

The fact that one end of the government overstepped grants a retrospective (by several years) right for a company to deliberately over-charge a completely different end of the government for legitimate services. Certainly, there can be no topic involving the government and telecommunications where ranting about NSA isn't on topic. It is really that simple.
Best approach to getting accustomed to Nagios is definitely setting it up for yourself. I used to support a mess of a Nagios server once, and on my new job, when they needed a good monitoring system I requested Nagios. Now we have our 100+ servers, 500+ switches and many other services monitored through it.

We had a college student during his summer time write up a quick nagios add/del/modify app. Took him a few hours to bring it up, now it is so easy to replace the whole configuration(s) through it.

Same here, has never crashed on us.. on the server or on the client. I don't know what this guys is talking about, maybe he's confused with the old OpenNMS or ZenOS?
That's a No True Scotsman argument. The problem with the "many eyes bugs shallow" theory is that all eyes aren't created equally, and the valuable eyes aren't distributed uniformly across all software.
If you entrust your logs to us, you run the risk...[of] failure of some sort.

Well, yeah.

Why do you think building new houses is bad for the environment? In the short term you're paying for materials, but that'll be made up pretty quickly by better insulation and, if you get multi-family dwellings, a lower surface area to volume ratio. And shorter commutes also tend to strongly decrease transpiration energy use. Clearly you would be losing historical character if you did what the article suggests, but from what I can see all the environmental arguments are on the other side, unless you think that restricting the housing supply will reduce the number of people.
Legitimate companies are definitely susceptible to being taxed as they are supposed to report certain parts of their financials. The average consumer will likely be affected by this tax by an increase in the BTC prices they are paying for goods.

This could be strategic to prevent illegitimate companies from using BTC because if they are not paying taxes properly, the government has motivation to investigate the company. Honestly, I think this is probably a good thing because it will make it hard for companies dealing in illegal services to operate (although only slightly).

A concern I have is whether taxing transactions will make it more difficult to make quick and easy transactions on the internet (one of things that makes bitcoin so great).

And, I am also a little skeptical because it will be really hard to enforce even for legitimate companies. I think that if the government wants to support cryptocurrency, and tax it at the same time, then they're going to have create their own cryptocurreny protocol. I almost reckon that they'd need a system where the blockchain was hidden from outsiders (basically, transactions would not be anonymous to the government, and users wouldn't be able to publicly see transactions aside from confirmations from the government).
Parent knows this, and was asking what could be done with modern hardware, given that keyhole-class satellites have been up for 30 years.

Kirsty Nathoo spends the second half of the day describing the basics of corporate setup. She goes over all of the associated paperwork, the YC investment, the YCVC notes, and advice on what to spend money on. It was a fast, expert primer on corporate law, corporate finance, startup financing, benefits, payroll, and more.

Can anyone recommend a good book on VC finance? It's hard to find anything that goes into much depth on the web.
"Imperial" in USA is actually not the same as "imperial" in the UK. There are slight differences between all units, but a significant difference with volume. A US gallon and a UK gallon are different by about 25%.

The US "imperial" vs UK "imerial" is why during WW2 the Allies (USA, UK, France etc.) used metric. Cause there's only one cenimeter. (Very important when you're making bullets)./

How is this sustainable? I wonder what they have planned next.
There's nothing "antiquated" about the business method here. Spending a lot of money to create content, and then distributing that content to customers is as viable as a business as ever. What broadcasters are objecting to is Aereo's trying to work a loophole in the copyright law with respect to over the air content. Normally, if a company wants to stream NBC's content to its customers, it will have to sign a contract (and pay money to) NBC. This is exactly the same as any other business where a middle man (like Aereo, or Netflix, or Amazon) sits between the customer and the producer. What Aereo is trying to do is distribute NBC's content to customers without paying for it.

This is not an example of "technological innovation" challenging "antiquated business methods." It's a company using a Rube Goldberg contraption to try and exploit a loophole of copyright, to profit from someone else's product without paying for it.
Yeah, I too would like to know the answer to this question. I know quite a few people who are on the H1B in the Bay Area, there is nothing to suggest that those people get paid less than their counterparts on Green Cards/Citizens. I was briefly on the H1B for less than six months; the only thing I can imagine depresses wages is the fact that it is not easy to jump jobs. However, I can't imagine that creates that much of a wage differential.

Ah okay, looking into it more and as another commenter has mentioned its probably the DVR aspect, which allows/encourages skipping commercials. They probably fear that the commercials will be stripped out or easily skippable.
They'd probably have better results if they did their experiment outdoors.
So which projects actually use GnuTLS as opposed to OpenSSL (Apache, lighttpd, nginx) or NSS (Firefox, Chrome)? I'm aware of Debian linking some packages against GnuTLS to avoid the supposed GPL incompatibility issue with OpenSSL, but the only thing I've seen that explicitly uses GnuTLS is Emacs 24.
Couldn't agree more. Thing is, I already spend thousands of hours to learn the querty layout. ( And qwerz layout, but thats not very different for the argument.) To gain any advantage from another layout, I would need to spend hundreds of hours, for at best minimal gain.

Additionally, I wonder how these decisions are made at the manufacturers. I would assume that most engineers there can touch type and should therefore have precisely the problems with the keyboards that the article mentions. So why don't they notice?
Thanks for the advice! That all sounds very reasonable. I thought I read that 20% time had gone away; regardless, I'm sure I'll have so much to learn on my first project that diverting any time away from it would be counterproductive.

Regarding good managers: I'll probably need to stay on my first project for at least one to two years. If my manager turns out to not be so great, what's the best strategy? Find out who the good managers are and work towards transferring to their team? Is it better to move horizontally based on the nature of the project or based on the team?
Hmm, good point. I would guess that Aereo, etc. may remove commercials, à la TiVo, during post-processing. Or even more rudimentarily, allow seeking, e.g. fast-forward over commercials.
I think your analysis is irresponsible and fallacious.

ESR is making a completely valid point, and the underlying premise of his theory---that having software open to review can help---is only confirmed by this incident, not rejected.

Specifically: If GnuTLS were closed source, this problem would likely never be publicly discovered and disclosed.

So overall, ESR's theory is accurate and useful.

Note the word "almost" in the theory, which serves as a (completely valid) escape hatch (that you are mistakenly neglecting) for incidents like this---which fit the underlying premise, but are "corner cases" rather than "common cases."
I have no evidence such awakenings exist, and nobody can ever really define what they mean by them. What do you mean, exactly?

Nobody is wrong to feel profundity in the mundane, but LSD can have you feeling a profound connection to a piece of cheese, or suddenly realising that all humanity's problems would go away if we just wore more purple.

As for the problems with society, it very relevant to people who talk about awakenings and how/why the legislators and policy makers (to quote the post I originally replied to) would be somehow afraid of these awakenings.

It seems like magical thinking. And as nobody has been able to actually explain what they mean, that's the conclusion I've come to.
