I've jailbroken for this reason, it was the only thing I used on the cydia store (although that was also due to the fact most things were for older versions of iOS and they didn't work)

however, my banking app saw the jailbreak and refused to work... weighing up ease of access to accounts vs colour changing phone... I chose accounts...

now I just avoid my phone in the evenings. -- it's really a shame an app like that doens't make it in to the mainline app store.
Man, I'm just tired of people crying about how hard their life online is. If someone were complaining to you in real life about how they had to not pay attention to a single line of text — so much so that they had to call it out at the time — I think I would have to just tell them how shitty I think they are. I've seen too many people doing it to pretend it's not a pervasive problem among the tech-literate. Someone needs to tell them their objections are so trivial that they ought not be aired at all. It's a strange paradox!
If that was Satoshi, why would he move his btcs: is what way would this transcation make him more safe or anonymous?
It's definitely an option.
fail2ban is based on the horribly flawed premise of correctly parsing arbitrary text logs from tons of different programs that wrote their log format without any concerns about parsing that output later. Not surprisingly there have been numerous vulnerabilities in fail2ban that let an attacker ban arbitrary hosts such as your DNS server, database, etc.

https://www.google.com/search?q=fail2ban+dos+bug

A better approach is something like pam_abl which is a pam module that will accomplish mostly the same thing but only for login attempts and without the crappy plain text log parsing.
Ah thats quite a cool website.
Eh, it's only from 2011. These are more likely to be MtGox related coins than Satoshi coins.
Following the destination addresses involved in the subject transaction reveals that the BTC is now being split repeatedly among newly created (or newly used) destination addresses.
It's unlikely, but it's really not that implausible. It doesn't take much sophistication to rob/coerce someone at gunpoint.

I'm afraid I would become animal-like...get some fucking perspective. It's embarrassing.

You should follow your own recommendation here and step away from the keyboard for a while... this entire thread just isn't worth getting angry about.
Indeed. The only thing this proves is that people are really, really bad at determining what things are going to catch on and which aren't.

Which is why I take such "Feh! Bitcoin is a fad!" statements as the uninformed nonsense that they are.
The tile should be how buffer scale.
This is how languages die. I wasn't aware that Python had become such a bureaucracy.

The current behavior is insane - just fix it! No need for days of discussion on the mailing list or three-point non regression plans.
This is the largest "bitcoin days destroyed" since ever. It's also most likely Mt. Gox's bitcoins that are moving as well. This transaction can be traced back to an arbitrary transaction Mark Karpeles made to prove he still had keys to his address some time ago.

Cool facts:

- where else does $180million move without any fees, in the blink of an eye?

- some transactions after this diverted some money into Satoshi Dice, so it's most likely not the Feds who control this, and they're potentially interested in laundering potential.
It was a repugnant act. Lawsuits may follow.

RPython is a framework for writing VMs.

You write an interpreter for your language in RPython (a statically typed language with syntax that is a subset of Python's) and the framework generates a VM with a JIT and GC and so on. You have full control over whatever happens in your interpreter, you can give the JIT hints and having types too early will not hinder the JIT.

You also keep calling it experimental, but PyPy is a production-ready Python VM, which is more than one can say about Parrot or even Perl6.
Ask HN: What to do if you feel small company bound
Today is my 23rd birthday I figured I'd reach out to 23 entrepreneurs and why not ask hackernews a question as well :-)

The question: My startup budget can't afford any service right now though we make a 1.5k a month. I was wondering what your tips were for cold calling (not going super), when should one outsource sales(maybe we suck at it)? How would you contact 56 year old managing brokers of real estate companies? Out of our first 530 cold calls we've only converted 1 person in another state. I've made my first dollar, but feel small company bound.

CmdrTaco's doesn't fit the rest. He wasn't predicting anything, he just found the iPod lame. And it was, to him and many of us.
Your latter argument is incorrect. Let's say there are 200 shares issued. Let's say you are a solo founder and own 100 percent of the company. Investor comes in and wants 20%. You would issue him 50 shares and that would dilute your percentage to 80%. Total shares issued now is 250 shares.

Your shares don't change and you don't just get issued new shares. That's why in startups people reference actual shares of stock rather than percentages. Percentages is just a way for people to communicate. That said, in an actual startup we're talking about tens of thousands to millions of shares initially rather than this dumb down version.

As for why your version isn't always the case, it's obvious that if everyone shares get increase accordingly, and retain their percentage ownership, there'd be no new shares/percentage going to new investors of employees
Gox coins.
I actually have 2 ZFS based arrays in different locations, rsync-ing happily but... let's say I really like my data.

No, it really doesn't. It just proves that in some particular cases, some particular people were bad at determining that.

Do you really expect the context and analysis to appear in the headline? Look over the last 10 days of HN front pages and observe how few headlines fit your requirements. Columns whose punchy titles explain little, or simple names of projects (with a version number afterwards, useless for someone who hasn't followed the project), or of course the endless tools and libraries that are totally inapplicable to the area of expertise one reader happens to inhabit. Oh, mobile-first CSS? Obviously not meant for me. Vim-related? Obviously not meant for me. Bomber for sale? Obviously not meant for me. B2B? Obviously not meant for me.

You want a subHN special for you? That's not what this website is about, never has been, but you've been an active member for a dog's age right? But now you want to hide a story because you don't like the framing? Tut!

I found this theory- that there was a large theft from Mtgox and then a cover-up felt more in line with the behaviour of MtGox.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497289.0

Of course that's just my gut reaction to human nature, but MtGox has looked more like panicked people who tucked up and were trying to double down than reacting to the shock of robbery. In particular the delusional documents that surfaced after the collapse look like the product of someone whose been riding the tiger not the resplane to a recent catastrophe.
Cool idea but just looking at the source of that page gives me nightmares

Fees are there to prevent micro-transaction spam. If there were no fees, anyone could flood the network with very small transactions and it would suck.

For big transactions like this one, involving old coins, no fee is needed and miners will accept it immediately.
Nice to see that "it's not the size that matters" applies to the Bitcoin world as well :)
Call it what you like and I'll call it what I like. This is Hacker News after all. As such, there's an implied value of individual expression, if not anarchy, associated.
More interesting question why people even care? I doesn't really matter if this guy or anyone else is creator of bitcoin. Bitcoin is already established, lets say we know for a fact Al Gore invented bitcoin. What changed? Nothing.
What made you ask the question? I've never heard of Digital Ocean before, what's different about them?
Yeah, that's one of the article's weaker spots. But as a rule, I'd tend to interpret imprecise statements like that charitably. He's not saying that small, clear functions are bad, but that splitting functions for the purposes of testing is counterproductive. He's not saying anything about splitting for clarity and focus.
Also, a recent discovery suggests sunlight lowers blood pressure via blood vessel dilation. Its not quite known how sunlight does this - one possibility is that it mobilizes nitric oxide in the skin.

'I prefer a paid app over an ad-supported free one'

This gets mentioned a lot. I don't quite understand the logic. Say WhatsApp cost users $3.99, when Facebook buys them for 5 billion $3.99s what difference does it make? Facebook gets 3990 messages, a list of people you know, groups and whatever else. They can now add those to their vast collection of stuff they know about you, Facebook profile or not.

What do the $3.99 payment or the 'one weird trick to improve your health' ads have to do with any of this? I don't get it.

No, I expect it in the page. (And presumably, so did they.) A link to a large bitcoin transaction with no explanation tells me nothing.
Digital ocean are a hosting platform. They came into the spot light a year or two ago as offering cheap VPS hosting.

They also give you the standard setup images, scaling, etc.

I asked the question as i was on there website earlier and I had seen the counter with the number of nodes setup so far; and thought I wonder what the largest site is on there.

They are also on the front of hacker news today as they have just completed a new funding round https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7353868

Oh and forgot they also only offer SSD disks.
Linus Torvalds: “I'm happily hacking on a new save format using ‘libgit2’”
The headline? You mean the hash thing? Of course not. But even after opening the webpage I have no idea what that's about. It's an inside thing for the bitcoin community.

Everyday on HN I see posts about subject I know nothing about. Things about technologies I never used, people I've never met and places I've never been. That's why I come here, to discover new things.

This post is not like that however, it's the equivalent of me submitting a link to an obscure commit to some lesser known subsystem of the linux kernel without any context.

Of course you always expect a certain amount of shared knowledge among a comunity. For HN it would be a certain computer literacy and basic knowledge of computer languages I suppose. Also, startup stuff. This post goes well beyond that and assumes familiarity with bitcoin, the implementation of its protocol and all the context leading up to that.

And no, I don't want a subHN, I was no-so-subtly hinting that I don't this this submission is good and has its place on the frontpage. It does not gratify my intelectual curiosity, to paraphrase the guidelines.
I found all of the apps of this sort on android were sorely lacking. None of them actually adjusted the screen warmth, they just put an "always on" semi-transparent overlay on the center of the screen. If you have software keys on your device, this becomes immediately obvious because the keys don't have the overlay and appear really bright

Such a shame, but I don't think APIs are available to developers for this purpose
He may be confusing TDD with unit test, but he's right that unit tests tend to expose design rather than bugs. Unit tests are typically tightly coupled with the underlying implementation, and so unforeseen cases in the code (that will cause a bug) tend to be unforeseen cases in the test too.

Finding bugs is not the primary purpose of unit tests.
Why not read the ToS? It's pretty clear and very user friendly. The short version - they don't store your data, and there is no right for Facebook to get that data historically.

That's not to say they can't change it in future, but I'm sure if they do there will be a massive exodus from the network.

And to further clarify on your comment - whatsapp is a paid for app, not advert supported. They only charge the iPhone users, however. Cost of the app is $1 for iPhone. Suspect android users would never touch it, as they don't have payment details set up on Google Play's store.
It is implied that when you pay, you are the customer, and when it's ad-supported you're the product instead.

In this case, however, you paid for the Whatsapp app, but with Facebook acquiring Whatsapp you'll also pay with your personal data.

I remember having to work around this when I created an arcade stick with the guts of an old PS1 keyboard. I used an Excel Spreadsheet to map the keys and to figure out which combinations of inputs would result in the least amount of blocking/ghosting in practice.

So basically, if you have a two-stick console with 6 buttons for each player, you had to wire it in a way that was impossible for Player 1 to ghost/block Player 2's keys (and vice versa). So when you found a combination that ghosted/blocked, you'd just map them to opposite directions on the same side since it's not possible to press UP+DOWN or LEFT+RIGHT at the same time on a joystick.

Here are some details:

Out of curiosity, what do you believe the advantages of Cloud Foundry over its competitors (such as Openshift) are?

I've used both, both as a developer and as a sysadmin and I have to say I like Openshift more. Mainly because of the ease of setup and the reliability. Cloud Foundry had issues for me.
I think what he was saying was:
* You should use + only for operations that form an abelian group across the domain
* In those cases, it makes sense for the identity to be false.

The truth is, time doesn't have a sensible addition/combination operator, never mind an identity and inverse, so it isn't even a group.

Your conclusion is wrong.

If a host does not follow the entire OCILLA playbook in every case, unconditionally, across the board, the host no longer qualifies for any safe harbor whatsoever. Then it's open season on copyright violations. Think $400,000 per song style open season.

The real liability threat remains third parties, not customers, and disregarding the prescribed counter procedure is handing them the keys to the bank. If you see a host playing fast and loose with the rules, for example your content not being restored in 10 to 14 days after counter notice with no further action, it's time to go after their registered agent.
Looks like a nice way of hunting down other peoples' lost valuables. Thanks!

I forgot people here only like fun if it's followed by draising.
Yeah, I was trying to figure that out too. They seem to care about closure and identity, but most of the examples have operators that trivially break an Abelian group's commutative requirement.
I get that. I certainly didn't expect it to solve all my problems. I am saying that I don't think it had any effect for me, or at least that it was very small.
That is a rather long way of saying "figure out exactly what the program is doing, and whether it matches what you think it should be doing."

Why would any privacy advocate want to block this deal? I can only see this deal being beneficial for privacy in the long run.

Facebook are unable to collect data from the service without changing the ToS, which will likely cause a user exodus.

It's going to put such a huge unrecoverable dent in Facebook's finances that it will be a significant long term disadvantage to them.

If you are a privacy advocate, wait until the deal completes and then jump ship and bring your friends with you.
Indeed there are now lots of high-end keyboards with no (or effectively almost no) keyboard-matrix ghosting problems. Actually, many of them still have USB-related rollover limitations: it's hard to fathom how someone can design a brand-new USB keyboard with no rollover limitations in the keyboard matrix, price it at $100+, and still not think (or bother?) to implement the obvious multiple-USB-keyboards workaround—looking at you, Razer!—but there you are. Still, you can find ones (like the Sidewinder discussed in the OP) with competent USB, or you can fall back to PS/2 (welcome to the future).

To my mind the interesting problem is how to get NKRO down into every keyboard. I'm sure it's possible with sufficiently clever engineering, but even with an almost-zero cost burden over bog-standard 2KRO this is almost certainly one of those frustrating situations where mass quality is achievable but only if you can get customers and manufacturers to know and care enough.

> Sure its more expensive than the $0.75 AVR chip they currently use but we're talking high end keyboards here.

Would extra PCB layers would be another significant source of increased cost here?
No. You are being entirely selfish and displaying a remarkable lack of curiosity about the world. Go impose your limited worldview someplace else.

And it seems that they very rarely collect those fees, if at all. I've certainly had my android install over one year, and no request for payment. See plenty of other similar reports online.

Suspect getting users to pay $1 is going to be a real pain, not for the cost, but for the convenience factor.

If you are skeptical of Dorian's denial then you have to wonder why would he first suggest to Newsweek that he was involved with it and then later clarify to AP that it was a misunderstanding.

But there isn't any good explanation of why he would later deny it unless it really was a misunderstanding in the first place.

> This strongly suggests that he knew enough about BitCoin to be chased away by the question.

No it does not. Not understanding why a reporter out of nowhere would contact him, he thought that "Bitcom" was one of the confidential engineering projects that he was previously involved in. Which he could not discuss under NDA.

Add to that the ambitions of a reporter looking to score a cover story for her magazine's "relaunch of its print edition after 15 months and reorganization under new ownership".
