"Those people have been indoctrinated since birth to see us as evil invaders ... our population isn't motivated in the same way"

It doesn't take religion or "indoctrination since birth" for people to see an invading army as evil - it just takes an invasion.

If your country were occupied by foreign armies, you might want to fight back too - or at least you shouldn't be surprised if others do.

Wow. I've always wondered: Is this kind of empty, buzzwordy writing effective? Does it sell?

So many companies write this way. I could believe they do so only because their staff never learned how to write good sales copy. Or is there some actual merit to it? Do they know something I don't--namely, that buzzwords sell?

Yes seriously, this was my first thought. The funny thing is that it isn't even dubstep. It is some kind of subgenre that seems to have been the trend for 2013/2014. It sounds like a microsoft surface commercial.

That's not actually true. There are plenty of atheist priests as it's a job just like any other. More to the point if you survey the worlds religions you don't actually find much consensus of any kind. Just ask a shinto priest how the world was created and compare that with the native Australia dream time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamtime Even more enlightening 'God' as a concept aka a supreme higher power does not even translate into every language.

PS: Restrict it to christian priests and you still don't really find consensus. "More than 80 per cent were happy with the idea that God the Father created the world." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1403106/One-third-of-...

Here are some things that seem reasonable but don't work:

FOO=""

if [ $FOO = bar ] ; then
echo "equal!"
else
echo "not equal!"
fi

This errors out with:

test.sh: line 4: [: =: unary operator expected

This is because the shell is based on text substitution. So once it's replaced "$FOO" with nothing, it ceases to be an actual token, and the expansion of:

if [ = bar ] ; then

...is an error. This is terrible.

One solution you sometimes see to this is:

FOO=""

if [ x$FOO = xbar ] ; then
echo "equal!"
else
echo "not equal!"
fi

This handles the empty string and other simple strings, but once $FOO has any spaces or shell metacharacters in it, it will break also. This is also terrible.

I really wish I could use LuaJIT, but unfortunately the memory limitations of it means I can't (I'm aware of FFI).
There's a good Google Books dataset for doing exactly that, and you can doing something in Hive to get you the lowest-entropy n-grams (with something like https://github.com/lsb/text-entropy/blob/master/passphrase-s... ), and then you can the low-entropy n-grams into a Bloom filter (like http://www.leebutterman.com/passphrase-safety/how-it-works.h... ) and your enormous corpus gets fitted into a few dozen megs of memory.

(That sounds like a cool idea, hit me up if you're game for hacking on something like that)
This is correct. In addition to the plummeting cost of sensors, communities such as DIY Drones and OpenPilot have made enormous contributions to the accessibility of this technology, by developing open-source autopilots that rival the capabilities of very expensive proprietary products.
If that doesn't sound advantageous, I don't know what else can be said

I mean specifically with regards to configuration management: that is, managing the part of software that developers intend to be modified so as to change the behavior of the program.

Maybe I just don't understand, but I don't see how this does anything to advance current config management dilemmas like how to merge a new upstream version of a configuration file with your site-specific changes; or how to deploy similar changes to large numbers of nodes at a time.

Modifying files in a git repo which are deployed to $ETC by ansible where modification triggers versus modifying files in a git repo which are used as "inputs" to a functional operating system seem like a largely cosmetic difference to me.

So my follow-on question is: is urban American culture's general squeamishness about our food sources a cause of or an effect of that distinction?

Calling pig meat pork, or cow meat beef, seems to separate the "yummy stuff" from the "used to walk and make cute noises stuff" in our minds. We don't seem to do it with poultry or seafood, just the mammals.

I'm wondering if that was a culture-wide subconscious "decision" (I don't know the right term for that). It's similar to dehumanizing your enemies, in a way.
Too bad God doesn't approve of a networking stack.
I'm probably one of the very few in this community that has actually worked in Williston. Worked for the largest (worldwide) upstream service company for a couple years. I didn't see myself working in the industry while attending school, but I graduated at a bad time, job market wise. It was really interesting work, got to understand the industry better than most people who just read superficial information, and it paid off the student loads in little over a year. It probably would have required less if I didn't freely spend the money on toys and party (Work hard, party hard is the industry motto).

Williston is what I would consider to be the Wild West. Instead of horses, everyone has trucks. Heck, I had a company truck as well. And it is dirty. People always have a mouthful of chew. Last time I worked out there (2011), housing was expensive and in shortage. The major players at the time were in the process of building up man camps to circumvent this. For those who are unfortunate in not finding a place, you would sleep in a truck. There was this shower service that was started up this entrepreneurial kid; trailers that were outfitted with private shower stalls that were charged by an hour. It's definitely different than the pampered lifestyle one is used to.

Reading from the comments, some people have talked down the blue collar workers that work in this industry. Yes, they may not hold the same education as many of us, but they are some of the most down-to-earth, dependable, hard working people I have met. They are definitely more "real" than many of the people I've met in the city. This is the type of industry where you have to go in and prove yourself out of greenhorn status. Once you do that, you earn yourself great coworkers and friends. Otherwise you are going to have a bad time. You also need a thick skin and able to dish back, since this is the oil patch after all.

The two things that were good about Williston: Walmart (I know, I didn't appreciate Walmart unti l I lived in the inner West states. They are your only and best option you have) and the 24-hour diner nearby it.

Also, what does this have to do with this issue?
Very good comment. It also boils down to geopolitical economic power. If the US starts exporting LNG to Europe, that completely changes the power dynamic regarding Russia in general and Ukraine / Crimea in particular. Gazprom has always strived for a monopoly on European energy supplies, and the politicians in Brussels would rather not be dependent on one (somewhat abusive) supplier.

They (US & EU politicos) will talk big about climate change in public of course, but their strategy and calculations in private can go a very different direction.

I've watched networking scale from spending 9 hours downloading a book over 110bps (yes, that's one hundred ten bits per second) dialup as an amazing ability, to streaming multiple live HD video from anywhere to wireless devices at 17Mbps (contrast seventeen million bits per second) as a cultural norm.

I do not doubt the ability to solve technical and financial challenges associated with scaling up an ad-hoc network. Been there, done that, can do it again.
Maybe, but you're probably just experiencing someone who starts the game by mashing the buttons. It works for a surprisingly long time.
Hardly surprising, I think it's fairly obvious that their analysts will poo poo any idea or instrument that doesn't land control firmly in their lap.

The article doesn't reference any actual research, but merely a poll of a banks researchers. It does contain some interesting, and somehwat ironics points and even a jab at entrepreneurship:

The people who maintain the Bitcoin network can change
the money supply through a majoritarian process.
And that means that the supply of bitcoin is a function
of what the majority of these people think at any given
time. They are not economists or monetary experts, but
technology and programming experts, and entrepreneurs.
I find that unsettling and I think most people would
feel the same way.

This bit especially coming from Goldman and Sachs :) I think there're a large number of people the world over who've lost so very much that would much rather that companies like the author's had absolutely no involvement in any decision making process. Deregulation and the variety of absolutely absurdl and nonsensical financial instruments it created certainly haven't done anyone other than speculators any good.

Beyond that the article doesn't present any counter point to these sort of statements, for example why it's preferable that a reserve bank or government control the money supply and how such (non-democratic) institutions better serve any public interest. Nor even a comparison with control of interest rates and so on.

Perhaps I'm naive, but given the choice between a large group of programmers and entrepreneurs on the one hand, and economists and bankers on the other hand, I know which I'd chose.
Nice. Reminds me of the game Thomas was Alone.
For me agile is a way of making bringing what's wrong with your development painful and front and center, forcing you to address it. As such many people don't like this and as a result agile tends to get warped into whatever process it is they had before, but now it's just called agile. And this is why almost everyone can say they are agile, even thogh they aren't.

Government projects of x size require companies with a, b, c qualifications, such as size, income and other factors.

I don't have a study to back it up, but in my experience speed-reading multiple words at a time is much better for comprehension compared to the Spritz way of a single word. You can afford to slow down (which helps around blinks) and still have a high effective WPM rate.

I wrote http://velocireaderapp.com specifically to speed-read multiple words better than existing apps (splitting sentences around punctuation the way I prefer). From the emails I get, it seems most users prefer to read multiple words, with 2-3 being the most common length. I should track this.
Regardless of the system in place they will put it to work to extract as much money from people as possible. A tiered system only gives them a few more parameters to tweak to aid this goal.

Doctor visits patient with <highly transmissable pathogen> touches x, washes hands and but then (!) retouches x and treats an immune-deficient patient etc. My point is x can be forehead, hair, pocket, watch, any variable you can think of and we can't control for any of them.

You seem to think every item a doctor carries needs to be autoclaved at clocking out time, when really the only viable solution is to wash your hands, change gloves etc. — sterilise your contact points, not your person and everything on it.

It's true. I live in Cleveland and I met a guy on public transit a couple years back that I struck up conversation with because he was wearing a cowboy hat and boots and was clearly out of his element. He told me he was in town for an oil conference and told me all about the Bakken region and the mad rush of companies looking to get a piece of the pie.

Essentially, once the oil basin was discovered, all the major US oil producers stormed the region and immediately began setting up shop. As a result, they also offered massive salaries for anyone willing to come up and work, especially young guys. He told me the major draw at first was truck drivers, who were making six-figures easily (side note: the roads in and out of town were decimated due to the amount of trucking passing through). Obviously the first ones to get established are going to get the most benefit from fracking the region, so it's easy to see why they offered such outrageous salaries.

Likewise, I remember him telling me about how there was absolutely nothing to do up there besides hit the bar, so that also pushes salaries higher.

I know software (and its wages) is the all-powerful blood of the Earth, according to HN, but don't be so skeptical of the power of supply and demand.

All of this sounds like excellent operational technology. I don't understand all the outrage here.

This is exactly the sort of thing I would expect the NSA to spend their time on.

Better then, to have hardware switches similar to the iPhone lock switch.

I'd welcome that in general! Make the switch open up the camera app directly, and a similar one for the mics; binding it to your phone or recording app, depending on what you prefer.

Make each switch a LED which -if they are- signals ON-state as the screen is turned on or off.

Edit: And incoming call screen would have to reflect the mic being off, in which case flicking the switch would accept the call.
