Yeah, of course. Calls itself IMSI Catcher (the variant used by police/secret service). You can build one yourself with OsmocomBB and the rest of that open-source GSM network infrastructure stuff.

Voila, there is your operator-level access from the radio side.
I just don't see it. The web does not have any better discoverability than any store front that proceeded it. What it has is a virtually free cost of entry.

Take the game 2048 that made headlines here. I didn't discover it because of some intrinsic discovery mechanism of the web any more than if I was to just keep watching the games page on amazon.

No, I found it because someone could pop it on github and share with all for free. And, it should be noted, in this case the game is based off of a riff of a popular iphone game. How did that game itself get discovered?

This is not to say that I hate HTML and all it entails. I make my living there. I do, however, find myself finally beginning to question the supposed benefits it is bringing to the table.

For my final point, consider that Steam is allowing me to play games that haven't seen release for years now. In some cases I miss out because I run linux, but their efforts are drastically increasing my ability to play current and past games in ways that I just do not see this approaching.
Because in the end it they will be owned by the state. You can assign it whatever other names you want, but it will be a state.

"workers who do the actual work at the plant own the means of production"

This cuts right to the heart of my original comment. That is a very broad model that simply doesn't apply to most workers, and numbers of whom grow smaller ever year. Marxism is an obsolete idea based on a world that hasn't existed for almost a century now.

I really have no idea what point this post is trying to make. I see anti IE (installing FF over IE), anti Chrome ("crapware") and anti FF ("feature growth within FF) sentiments, but no tie-together logic. Do you have a conclusive point you're trying to get across?
Is this an idea for a startup?
That's too terrifying to imagine.
The Danish Social Democrats have lately been transitioning to this view (in earlier years, they much more strongly emphasized state ownership of the means of production). The buzzword "flexicurity" is a banner under which they've been explicitly pushing a decoupling of planning mechanisms from wealth distribution. The idea is that the economy will be "flexible", so you can do whatever you want with a minimum of red tape, easy regulations, and easy hiring/firing rules, but on the other hand nobody loses too badly because there is a strong social-safety net providing the "security" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexicurity). So it's easy to fire a worker, but the worker won't get evicted from their home if you do. If they have trouble finding another job, they'll get monetary support, retraining support, etc. In a way this makes it therefore even easier to fire them (because you lose the guilt aspect). Because benefits other than salary aren't tied to working, employers also feel quite a bit of flexibility to change people's hours: you can move someone from full-time to 3 days a week if business slows down a bit, without them losing their health insurance, which is a level of flexibility American employers don't enjoy.

One way of looking at it is modulating the outcome distribution of the "game". Yeah, games are a great way to test out economic ideas in "competition" with one another, but the outcome distribution maybe should be more shallowly sloped, not a winner-takes-all game.

I do think one important aspect is that the state still does make some planning decisions, especially on infrastructure. The decisions may be implemented with market mechanisms, by putting out a tender for the operating contract. But the state decides which metro lines to build, how much service there should be, what fares should be, etc. The state also centrally manages both the healthcare and university systems as a "single payer", though some degree of internal markets exist within those sectors (especially in the universities).
It seems, like this is the same idea that "Amen" had a few years ago: https://getamen.com/

To me this feels, like i am filling out forms with informations about my opionions, so someone can sell it (even better than twitter-like "plain text") to advertisers.

We posted on HN in November and it was very effective (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6653752). The volume of candidates that came from the HN post was much smaller than other channels, but the quality of candidates was much higher than all the other channels.

Here are the numbers we saw:

HN - 12 candidates total, 7 made it to the initial phone interview and 3 made it to a full interview....we made one offer and he accepted (and he's awesome).

Stackoverflow - 28 candidates, 9 initial phone interviews, 2 full interviews, no offers.

Indeed - 40 candidates, 6 phone interviews, none of them made it to a full interview.

Craigslist - 6 candidates, 2 phone interviews, neither of them made it to a full interview.

Two other thoughts...

I think the reason that HN worked so well for us is that we we took a very targeted approach...before posting, we spent a lot of time thinking through exactly what we were looking for and what we thought made working at BuzzStream a unique opportunity for the right person. We wrote a positioning statement for the job that we used as the starting point for our post. Getting the message right was critical.

The fact that we don't mind bringing on remote people makes things a lot easier.
So what would happen in a Marxist society when I hire someone to do work with that hammer, computer, or car?

The proponents of it claim it would be a stateless society, but that clearly isn't true if they have the power to stop me.

My local Swedish newspaper does it (http://www.sydsvenskan.se) when there are events like storms or public transport delays that have ongoing news. They also allow reader comments into the feed to gather new info from the field and respond to questions. I think they use coveritlive.
Ugh. The message I got was even if a woman has a PhD she can still be reduced to a visual spectacle. I feel sorry for the women in my lab who constantly face these pressures. I mean could you ever imagine a fashion line modelling male PhD students? If not why not? Is it because we men can be judged based on the merit of our work and don't have to worry about our appearance? I don't know, maybe I'm reading this wrong.
We hired our frontend engineer, and he's been nothing short of awesome.

To put this in context:

We are an enterprise SaaS company (www.treasuredata.com). In other words, this is not something a lot of frontend folks are aware of let alone interested in by default. Still, we managed to find someone who was really good. He and another frontend engineer made a worlds of difference in our webapp and boosted customer engagement.
Almost no one would use that definition. Calling someone a mean name would be an act of violence. Violence implies physical effort of some kind and not intent- ie, both storms and people can be violent.
This is certainly the standard story.

It's not at all clear to me that it was Thatcher's amazing economic policies that turned the economy around rather than the boom years of North Sea oil.

Even if Thatcher's policies did stimulate the economy at the time, from where we're sitting now, what is clear is that that stimulus was not sustainable, and that all that privatisation and the Big Bang did was borrow from the future to splash the cash in the then-present.

I don't see how a browser based distribution has the potential to be better as far as security. I don't think it is foregone it would be worse, mind.

What does a browser by in terms of added security? Encrypted connections did not spring in to being with ssl. And, doing a secured stateful connection seems easier/better than the stateless messages method of traditional http applications.
Yep, I'm not arguing it was Thatcher that fixed it. Just making the point that the 1970's truly were bad in the UK.
"It works" in the sense that you can use it as a cli tool to download/share a torrent, much like aria2 would do. It implements many standard features ((multi) tracker, extensions, dht, magnet, ...), with the following notable exceptions:

- no peer choking
- no throttling
- no LPD/LSD
- no PEX

also, its output is quite verbose. All things considered, a very pleasing experience with Go that works. Not used a lot though I'm afraid.
But couldn't such an act be repealed as "enabling the terrorists" and be rendered inert?

BBC does it as well. I've seen on a handful of other news sites (NY Times, CNN, NBC) for some events.

Forums are a great source, too, when you get parties that are interested in aggregating news sources [1] for the community.

Sports and elections use the format very frequently — these have the advantage that significant infrastructure can be set up in advance, whereas breaking news live blogging is more adhoc, and often constitutes just updating the text of a posted article on a website.

Firefox OS has been launched in 16 countries. You may not be on an emerging market but people on most of these countries are enjoying what affordable smartphones can give them. In Venezuela alone Firefox OS already has a larger marketshare than Windows Phone. Firefox OS went from 0 to 16 countries, 4 hardware manufacturers and 4 global telecoms in 2 years. And it did that while being open, accepting contribution, encouraging sharing and open culture, placing privacy and values over profits. Yes, Android and iOS are larger, much much larger, but we need to think what kind of world do we want in ten years. A world where each mobile device is a silo with its platform under complete draconian control of a single company thats usually from the northern region of California or where each platform is embracing open standards, where apps are light and cross platform where people can go from consuming content to creating content fairly easy (HTML being way easier to learn than Obj-C).

There is a reason why we're using the World Wide Web right now. Its not an app. Its an ecosystem based on standards where everyone agrees more or less to play by the same rules. Its also easy to learn so anyone can put anything online, it doesn't matter if you're building a home page about crappy gingerbread people, you don't need permission from Apple or Google or a lot of knowledge to do it. The Web won as main medium to exchange stuff because its easy and open.

Initiatives such as NaCL and similar are not open. ASM.js based stuff work even on platforms that doesn't support it. Its about being compatible and playing well with others.

Mozilla is a strong player and it is not playing a game where the others need to lose for it to win. Its playing a game where cooperation is the main objective. Firefox OS doesn't need to win, it just need to show people that you can do whatever you need using web technologies that don't belong in a silo.

Sorry if this sounds like a rant but I get really frustrated when people seem to be content to throw all the advancements we did for the web during the last 20 years into something as shallow as user base numbers.

Four years ago no one could believe that a whole OS could be built on top of a web engine. That browser would be able to play AAA games without plugins. That we could do videoconferences using p2p with nothing but HTML/CSS/JS and yet we can. Now, put your imagination and dreams to work and imagine what the next four years will bring. Thing a bit longer and imagine what could happen if instead of trying to embrace proprietary tech we decided to move the web forward...

Actually, all earthquakes are ruptures in the sense that they represent slip (displacement) on a surface. Oftentimes, though, geologists and geophysicists will refer to ruptures as the surface break of an earthquake (where the slip on a fault reaches the earth's surface), so some context is required to distinguish between the two.

The recent M 6.8-6.9 event occurred offshore, so it's not entirely clear whether it broke the surface. Most earthquakes below M 6 don't, and most M7 do (if they occur in the crust).

The focal mechanism of the earthquake [1] (see how to interpret them at [2]), which shows (among other things) the pattern of stress change during faulting, does (from my visual inspection) indicate that the Coulomb stress change on the subduction zone north of Mendocino. I'm not sure what the implications are for the northern San Andreas, which may not be optimally oriented to receive additional shear stress from this event, but I think the earthquake might have released some of the normal stress that keeps the fault from slipping there.

I'd assert that the "periodic table of types"[^1] radically overstates the complexity of the Rust type system, largely because of the rampant misuse of the "periodic table" as a means of presenting groups of things. A "periodic table" of (for example) food items or Perl operators tends to have a bunch of distinct elements in its cells arranged by loose groupings[^2], whereas the Rust periodic table (like the periodic table of elements, but unlike other pop-culture periodic tables) has cells whose contents are for the most part[^3] a function of their row and column.

Tabular nomenclature aside: Rust has values and two kinds of pointers, and a handful of built-in types, and you can have pointers to those types. While the semantics of the pointers are unusual, I don't think that makes it that much more complicated. It should also be noted that many of the proposed language changes make said table even more regular (e.g. replacing the [T] syntactic sugar for vectors with a more conventional Vec<T>.)

Rust is in some ways complicated, and I'll grant that a beginner to the language will likely curse the borrow-checker more than a few times. But I don't think Rust is nearly as complicated as it is sometimes reputed to be.

No, the parent is right. My own attorney even describes the current system as extortionate.

Even if this claim is not found to be technically frivolous (a legal term that carries a standard), the current system offers little or no penalty to those who use the courts as a bullying tactic.

If you say or do something that someone doesn't like, then they just sue you and force you to spend exorbitant amounts of money and time to defend yourself, or otherwise just capitulate to their demands. Even the effort required to show that something is frivolous can be expensive, as the standard is high.

The current design absolutely favors those with money. The defendant can win handily but stand very little chance of even recovering their attorney's fees.

> So what would happen in a Marxist society when I hire someone to do work with that hammer, computer, or car?

The simple, though not only possible, solution is that that doing the work itself, at least with the consent of the tool owner, entitles them to the value produced, and that contracts to the contrary have no effect to change that.

> Is someone going to arrest me?

That's a possible approach, too.

> The proponents of it claim it would be a stateless society

Marx, and some Marxists, claim that the adoption of their preferred policies would lead to the "withering away" of the State, but not that the policies themselves would equate to the absence of the State.
Do you think the focus positions you better for new smaller scale events or getting access to larger events? I ask because it seems like the real value in this space would be taking down active.com and high volume high frequency events like 5K races etc.
"There is no requirement, either under the Constitution or under laws of war, for any sort of formal declaration."
