Their lawyers have not yet taught them that decisions about content make one a content provider instead of a hosting provider, and all the wonderful protections in OCILLA/DMCA vanish into thin air.

I'm sure they will get that eventually. Maybe after they learn to scrub customer storage in every case (not just enough to sweep the issue under the rug) so that droplets aren't immediately compromised on termination.

In case that wasn't clear to you, DO puts their drive wear ahead of your data. There are still multiple endpoints in the API that will leak your data to other customers. They fix some cases of it every now and then, then revert without telling anyone once they see the impact on their SMART metrics. When sneak called them out they wrote an entirely fabricated blog post. That incident resulted in a published CVE in libcloud earlier this year but of course nobody gives a shit, throw more VC at them!

This is something I don't understand about the "bitcoin days destroyed" metric. Yes, it filters out rapid back-and-forth moves of small amounts over a short time frame, but it also over-empasizes transactions such as this. Seems to me, based on the age, that this is likely just someone moving coins between wallets or consolidating their stash for cold storage.

It's also worth noting that, based on the age of these coins, the actual invested dollar amount this represents is only $900,000.

The degree to which it is acceptable to shit on students is a result of the prohibitions on laughter stackOverflow's moderators love. All the meanness and tribalism finds it's way oit and is vented upon the weakest members of the community.

Yes, students can be rude asshats. But hang around 'regex' and asshattery is no more unusual than 'SML'.

This article captures the smug prickishness that stackOverflow increasingly celebrates. JustFuckingGoogleIt was clever a decade ago. It's quick and to the point and the pain is over.

Learning to program is hard. A non-working program with a looming deadline is genuinely and legitimacy stressful. And so what does the article do? It begins by belittling the student, telling them their question was not worthy of the great community. Let's be honest, the intended audience isn't students, its other StackOverflow contributors and its purpose isn't to teach but belittle.

And that's the shame of it. A good article on debugging could be useful. Hell a teacher might even incorporate it into the class. But of course the StackOverflow community could not produce such a document. It violates their unfortunate tribal mores.

Am I missing something? This is a post from Dec 2013. 1.2.14 still looks to be the current version of Angular. There was a commit today on Angular's GH removing IE8 from their test configuration which implies that 1.3 is going to be around really soon, but there doesn't seem to be a release build at this stage.

TL;DR: wrong title?

Sorry, I'm not very familiar with how the usb protocol works- but I meant, that not all OS-provided keyboard drivers support devices with up to 100-whatever simultaneous keypresses, right?

I've seen keyboards with what looked like hardware 'nkro' toggles, and overheard discussions to the effect that many implementations of nkro over usb are sometimes 'unreliable', which sounds like inexcusable behavior on either part of the keyboard's controller, the software driver, or the protocol itself.
This could be interesting. One would have to define what hash math should mean. Personally, I would expect (based on my naive assumptions here) that:

{1: "A"} + {} == {1: "A"}

but

{1: "A"} + {} + {1: "B", 2: "Z"} + {1: "C"} + {}

should reduce to:

{1: ("A" + "B" + "C"), 2: "Z"}

Whether you can add "A", "B", and "C" would depend on string functions (could be "ABC" or raise an exception that these cannot be added for example).

How is this good for privacy if Facebook's business model is selling personal information for financial gain? They could change the ToS anytime and sell all your personal information (several years of messages, photos, video) next day. Also, they could pass this all to the government for a nice pile of cash (without needing to change the ToS).
> "... without changing the ToS, which will likely cause a user exodus."

How many people are even aware of what the ToS says? I don't recall a mass exodus from Google when they merged their privacy policies so I don't expect to see it here (for similar reasons - where would they go?).

Edit: > "... then jump ship and bring your friends with you."

You make it sound like this is easy. It isn't. That's why networks have value and are hard to build.

The other one that you really need to fix to access larger markets is having multiple users per accounts. Eventually you need roles as well, but just the simple fact of setting up multiple email accounts on one droplet account is a barebones necessity for any sensible customer that consists of more than a handful of people... According to a thread somewhere you announced that this would be done sometime in 2012, but it still isn't...

This is true, but if it is documented it is still sufficiently oddball to be useless. Consider:

Midnight UTC, timezone EST: True
Midnight UTC, timezone CET: False
Midnight UTC, timezone CST: True
Midnight UTC, timezone WIT: False
Midnight UTC, timezone PST: True

Now the problem here is that it may well be documented but it is in fact unsafe to rely on in any context. The behavior is thus irretrievably broken, documented or not. It isn't even expert-friendly. The behavior, documented or not, is irretrievably broken. After all timezones west of GMT will never have false times.

If there is a use case for this behavior, I sure can't see it. Unless you like bugs appearing when you change timezones.

I don't follow what you mean by "the actual historical reason". The article clearly indicates that 1 went through a long period of not being commonly considered a prime (for bad reasons), then a brief period of being commonly considered a prime (for bad reasons), and is now once more not considered a prime (for good reasons). It calls out the reason why we switched to the current view as being, at the very least, extremely closely related to the reason you're claiming is not "the historical reason".

Your parent comment is correct (or so close that I think correcting them is a bigger mistake); that is the reason 1 is not prime. We don't consider 1 "not prime" as an accident of history, we have the knowledge now to make an informed decision. The "historical reason" has fallen by the wayside.

This is related, by the way, to the question of 0! (zero factorial). By definition, it's 1. The most obvious reason for that is that it fills a bunch of different holes in various formulae that use factorials (Taylor series, virtually any combinatoric formula...). But that's an extremely instrumentalist approach. Is there any reason why we might predict that 0! = 1 without knowing in advance from combinatorics that we'd really like it to be the case?

Sure. What happens if we multiply together the first zero positive integers? Obviously, we get the empty product: 1. Hence the definitions I learned, where a prime number has exactly one factor (not two), and 1 has zero, not enough to be prime.

This meme needs to die. It implies a dividing line where none exists. There is absolutely no reason why you can't end up being both a paying user of a product and have data about you sold on, aggregated etc. If a company can find a way to get paid twice, why wouldn't they do so?

I don't quite get Linus' problem with XML for document markup (for anything else - config files, build scripts - sure, XML is horrible). Does anyone know any more details about what his specific gripe is? For me, asciidoc (which looks very similar, conceptually, to markdown) suffers from one huge problem: it's incomplete. Substituting symbols for words results in a more limited vocabulary, if that vocabulary is to remain at all memorable.

Sure, XML can be nasty, but thats very much a function of the care taken to a) format the file sensibly b) use appropriate structure (i.e. be as specific as necessary, and no more).
I think a deeper issue is that a lot of nerds (term that I use here broadly to define people who grew up using usenet, BBS'es, wrote/contributed to the open source tools that power most of the internet, etc.) have a strong sense of ownership when it comes to the internet, and feel strongly about respecting netiquette (which includes not doxing people unless there's a crime underneath with extremely strong evidence, like for example when that teenager posted a video of himself torturing a cat on YouTube). It's pretty telling that acts like that are typically frowned upon even by websites where morals don't fly very high (e.g. 4chan).

Sadly, a lot of people who are foreign to that internet culture (like the Megan McGrath who penned the Newsweek article) aren't aware of these implied rules, or, if they are, they just don't care about it.
I just realized that Linus' posts are the only reason I ever go to Google Plus.

Safe merged-mining and the Bitcoin’s Karma
he talks about a save file format, not a file system. or do we have different concepts of "file system"?
Indeed. Hence my main point on HN for the last week: for a system that presumably requires no trust and has fully public transactions, BitCoin is surprisingly rife with spectacular heists, misinformations and contradictory speculations.

It is not ready for primetime at a structural level. Advocates need to stop trying to convince those who are already converts, and address problems and fears of non-participants.
What's actually interesting if you dig into the discussion is that the actual behavior depends on your timezone.

Basically from UTC east to the IDL, it behaves as you describe it. Anything west, it evaluates to true as long as it is set and there is a timezone offset. This is because once you are at a negative offset, you subtract and get a higher number so it will never evaluate to false with a negative offset.

Basically this current behavior is useless for anything I can imagine. You can't use it to check for midnight UTC. You can't use it to check for whether it is set. You can probably use to check for midnight with no timezone but add a timezone and now your handling is messy.

This is why contracts need to be sanely written from a code contract point ahead of time. This was apparently a developer describing how his code worked and later calling it a contract, which is a very bad thing :-D

Hijacking the top comment:

The level of discourse in this thread is abysmal.
On a tangent, how much do you notice the political tensions in your everyday life? I read some accounts by people from Odessa who said they didn't bother much and saw as their first priority that nobody died no matter on what side. Are you still far enough away from the Crimea to ignore everything if you chose to do so?

Also I'm wondering if people will give you strange looks exporting a 4-engine military aircraft out of Ukraine these days. That'd certainly be fun to try.
This has been covered by anaphor, but to respond to the question directly:

No, a prime number, for example 5, is not the product of 1 and itself (at least, no more than it's the product of 1/3 and 15). It is the product of itself only, so it can be represented as a set of factors like {5}. 1 is the product of nothing, and would be represented as the set of factors {}.

Multiplication, obviously, just combines the factors of the multiplicands. 6 (= {2,3}) times 2 (= {2}) equals {2,2,3}, 12. Hopefully that makes it clear why 1 should be {}.
I was wondering about the persistent negativity about Scala since it runs counter to my own very positive experiences with Scala and Play. For me it hits just the sweet spot between monadic goodness and getting stuff done in the JVM eco system.

For Scala 2.11 I'm excited about the focus on performance of map and flatmap in List. Those are my bread and butter at the moment. It's amazing how intuïtive that becomes once you use it everyday for dealing with futures, collections etc and you forget about the mathematical monad etc underpinnings for a moment.

I hope that splitting xml parsing off into a module will reinvigorate xml support that's highly performant and easy to use. Of course json is all the hotness. But there's a lot of xml services out there to be used. So that's a core tool for a lot of applications.

I can't wait to try out the compiler/sbt speed improvements in sbt 13.2.
I seem to recall that there are talks on unifying the compilation of sbt and the IDE. That's something I look forward to since I tend to use the ~ continuous run/test/compile options of sbt and then having another compilation going on at the same time within my IDE seems wasteful.

I do hope that the Eclipse Scala IDE gets enough love and will continue to improve. A lot of companies in the Java space got used to free IDEs. (I know that's penny wise) So having a good free IDE is a strong enabler for grass roots Scala adoption.

Together with the super support for JS MVC applications that's coming up in Play 2.3 I'm looking forward to putting this to use.

It would seem odd for someone who's otherwise been so careful about security to use his or her real name. It would seem less odd for them to flick through the phone book and choose someone else's name though (or pick it off a grave stone, randomly mash forename and surname together - whatever.) Sharing the name is weak evidence at best. With so many people, odds are if you pick something vaguely okay someone in the world will have it too.
A better way to write and distribute applications
It was one of the things I hated about Go! I am entirely comfortable with the POSIX-style %Y, %m, etc. formatting and having to learn Go's silly way to do it annoyed me no end.

I got curious when he said he mined block 70-something. Block #78 is the only one (in the 70's) that was transferred to a wallet with any activity - I followed said activity for a little bit, and it looks like he had 2,000 BTC strewn across a bunch of wallets that he moved to one wallet in 2011. Not too shabby for an accidental nest-egg! :-)
It looks interesting but as a potential customer, here are the my thoughts going through it (feel free to ignore me, I know you didn't ask):

- The site doesn't look good on my Retina MacBook Pro, mainly due to the extensive use of low resolution images for things like gradients and text (I don't understand that at all).

- Only pricing is in GBP, it'd be nice to have something else as a reference (a little "roughly $16 USD" in brackets would be nice)

- Straight up asks for my full address and phone number, without stating a reason why they're necessary or how they're used

- Takes me to a payment page and asks for my credit card number on a plain looking page served with a Class 1 SSL certificate (no organization validation) and again, with no indication how it'll be used

I was actually looking to give it a try after filling the address fields and phone number with "Nopenopenope" but lost it at the (subjectively) dodgy looking payment page.

A redesign and some explanations on signup pages would do you a lot of good I think :)

Ask HN: Please write descriptive titles for your HN submissions
Lately there have been several submissions on the HN front page having only the name of a product or company in its title:

- "Exist"

- "WebFlow"

- "TrackR"

- "MoarVM"

- "Atom"

In those cases users have to click the link in order to find out what the product/company does. Although I understand why that would be useful for the company submitting the link, it's a waste of time for the rest of us when we click the links and find out that the product/company is something that doesn't interest us.

So can we please agree to write more descriptive titles that give users an idea of what's on the page being linked to?

Here are some examples of how it should be done:

- "Coalesce – Communication framework for distributed JavaScript"

- "Notepad5 – a simple offline notepad webapp, distraction-free writing zone"

- "Iconic – An Icon System Designed for the Modern Web"

- "Show HN: Softcover – A publishing platform from the author of the Rails Tutorial"

This is a 2-year-old address.

So, this one transaction is interesting because it involves an old address. Other transactions in this block are probably unrelated.
