Revolution merely starts the cycle again. We'll always end up with the KGB, Stasi, NSA, GCHQ, CIA etc so you have to deconstruct society regularly to flush it out.

We're stuck in a pretty long loop at the moment just verging on hard times.

Edit: the "good times" above is optional.

Maybe you might consider adding at least a form for "Looking for the Mac version? Enter your email to get a notification when BatteryBar Pro is released on it."?

Then if eventually you release that version, mailing that list could make quite a bit of money for very little effort now. If the list grows very large, it would add further justification to develop that version too.
The real issue here is the higher costs of housing caused by the politics of zoning that creates artificial scarcity in housing. In a healthy market, there would be increased construction to offset the increased demand caused by people with higher incomes.

So Nexon Europe just updated their website and the login does no longer use HTTPS. The password is sent completely unencrypted.

No statement from Nexon Europe yet, though. Can't really believe a company of this size does something like this in 2014.

What do you think of this?

That honestly doesn't have the truth ring of good satire for me... It seems to be making fun of the lack of sane defaults in git (maybe?), but if anything, git seems too focused on mysterious implicit configuration-controlled behavior, over explicit control.

Edit: Ah, hmm, maybe the satire is more along the lines of "a single command does too much stuff", which does ring true for commands like `checkout` and `reset`.
Agreed! This game is too addictive!
Learning Ruby On Rails... Training My Brain All Over Again

Why? This seems like it's just an attitude of "I know the 'correct' way and everyone else is wrong". If we can get the same message across in a simpler construct and with less information exchange why is that bad?

There are no objective criteria to measure usability, so Git cannot possibly be "objectively pretty good", sorry.

Again, popularity has nothing to do with merit. It's a pure happenstance that Git was chosen over Mercurial for kernel development, and it all went from there.

The UX of Git cannot possibly be improved in the foreseeable future as it will be a _massive_ pile of breaking changes with people moaning all over the internet.
An apparently deep discussion, but the author cherry picks definitions to match his argument. For example, he states two definitions for Merriam-webster, but they are only definitions 1a and 1b. There are 4 more.

You advocate, in your own words, allowing people to die on the street unless private citizens decide to render assistance. I would far, far rather have state aid than that.
I don't see that ever happening. Google does a lot of reinventing the wheel with their projects and most of it is not built in a way that is easily useable in downstream projects, and they probably won't accept patches anyways. Chromium OS, for example, could have been forked and used in a lot of cool ways but that hasn't happened yet and I doubt it will.
Subtrees interact with history in a much more obvious, configurable, and automatic way. The most obvious win is never having to run `git submodule update`. The better control over history is the bigger, but less obvious win. Since you have some experience using submodules for your .vim, maybe try switching to subtrees and see what you think. I like the Atlassian blog post[0] about them for getting started.

I agree wholeheartedly with your third point. I'd also add that SF iS perceived as sexier and more exciting than the South Bay. Drive along El Camino for any stretch in MV, SV or SC and your perception of the area as a suburban wasteland would be confirmed. Not to say there aren't nice areas in the South Bay, but you have to look for them (and they are expensive).

Seems interesting but there isn't enough background on what this is. Just a collection of components, or is there anything custom added on top of the collection of frameworks?

The BTC website is pretty bad too, coming from someone who doesn't already know what all those different frameworks do. There is no sample code or "getting started" guide to illustrate what the project does or why I would want to use it. Especially curious about why I'd want this template over others? What are the competitors/alternatives?
Your points 2 and 3 seem to be proving too much, because they could also be applied to building new roads and parking spots: it harms the community by making more people move in, and it's useless because rezoning is better. Right?
except these aren't city busses but private shuttles for major companies. If the tech giants were providing funding for SFMTA rather than running a private fleet, then I suspect any objections would be quite different.

The real issue is a systems issue caused by an artificially induced shortage of housing caused by "rent seeking" (politics that induce artificial shortages) through zoning ordinances.

While convenient and emotionally satisfying to fingerpoint and blame SV higher incomes for the increased cost of housing, the real cause is the zoning ordinances which help wealthy landowners increase their income not through creativity and wealth creation but through politics.

Remove the "rent seeking" political constraints on an efficient housing market and you will go along way towards fixing the problem of people getting displaced by higher rents.
Agreed, I intensely dislike having my back to a room (including in places such as restaurants), and this was always my explanation, too.

Glass without an Internet connection doesn't normally work, so they must have done quite a lot.

The normal and promoted programming model is quite similar to Chromecast, where you push a subset of html pages to it and it displays them. That push occurs via your system sending a message to Google's server that pushes the update on the Glass.

We had a guy commit suicide on cam in the early days of our website. It was terrible. I was asleep in NL, nobody thought of calling us, just an email that went unseen for the better part of the night. Then in the morning I woke up to a site that was pulled off the air by the hosting provider (ev1) to lessen the chances of copycat acts or other mishaps.

Looking back through the chat snippets that people had mailed from that cam it looked like a bunch of assholes had actively pushed the guy to do it.

We figured out where he lived and sent the police to his home, they took the guy down and after that ev1 restored service to our machine but for the longest time I felt like simply leaving it off.

It's no fun at all when your creations get away from you in ways that you did not foresee. There is a lot more backstory to this which I'm not going to relate here for obvious reasons, and that wasn't even the lowest point of running a consumer oriented website for 15 years and counting, go figure.
He discusses fake name use in this post to Cypherpunks List in 1993. He also mentions "Digicash" in the same thread.

"In my limited experience creating Internet pseudonyms, I've been quite distracted by the continual need to avoid leaving pointers to my True Name lying around -- excess mail to/from my True Name, shared files, common peculiarities (eg misspellings in written text), traceable logins, etc. The penet.fi site explicitly maintains a list of pointers to the original address. All kinds of security controls -- crypto, access, information, inference -- have to be continually on my mind when using pseudonymous accounts. The hazards are everywhere. With our current tools it's practically impossible to maintain an active pseudonym for a long period of time against a sufficiently determined opponent, and quite a hassle to maintain even a modicum of decent security. Pointers to info and/or tools to enable the establishment and maintenance of a net.nym, beyond the standard cypherpunks PGP/remailer fare with which I'm now familiar, greatly appreciated. Especially nice would be a list of commercial net providers that allow pseudonymous accounts.""
I just downloaded the game. Very cool! I wish I has written it... oh wait... given that I wrote Gambit, in a sense I wrote most of the game! It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling!

Your in game REPL is neat. For developing games, where there's a need to explore variations quickly, it is a powerful tool. I'm currently working on a remote REPL for Gambit-JS, so that you can remotely debug Scheme code (possibly games) running in the browser.

Ask HN: Is technology becoming more ethical and less profits focussed?
With the global rise of 'Open Source' technologies, and schemes such as Facebook's recent news to bring internet to more of Africa, is the technology environment becoming more ethical and socially responsible or are these plans part of a long-term return on investment strategy?

It can be argued that previously the growth of technology has been profits focussed, do you believe that we are turning away from this, or will this always be the ultimate goal?

> GCHQ cooperated with the hacking attacks despite having reservations about their legality. One of the Snowden files, previously disclosed by Swedish broadcaster SVT, revealed that as recently as April 2013, GCHQ was apparently reluctant to get involved in deploying the QUANTUM malware due to “legal/policy restrictions.” A representative from a unit of the British surveillance agency, meeting with an obscure telecommunications standards committee in 2010, separately voiced concerns that performing “active” hacking attacks for surveillance “may be illegal” under British law.

Wow, finally a limit on what GCHQ thinks that they are allowed to do! Now can the NSA be prosecuted for these actions when done in the UK? #notgonnahappen
"still be 100% confident and sure you will never ever have a confidentiality or privacy breach with patients data involved"

That is never true, ever, in any circumstance, with any system, ever.

Stop wishing for unicorns and come back to the real world.

The question is, is it reasonably safe, and does it help patient outcomes? Keep in mind, the more likely it is to improve patient outcomes, the more risk is considered acceptable.
Luckily, our founding fathers built in a way to achieve the same effects as a revolution without any violence.

If you were to start an armed insurrection, the government would be totally justified in ending you. Not a smart decision given today's level of technology. It was through sheer luck that the American revolution worked at all: the British commanders were so incredibly incompetent that they checkmated themselves.
It should also be noted that revolution sucks majorly.
Native development
Those all seem like a reach, perhaps made up after the fact.

For instance, who blockades a bus, commits violence on the riders and fakes a scene as a rider (pretending to be an entitled Google employee and yelling out the window while having it filmed)? Not somebody annoyed at a bus stop.

It all smells like protester-chic, finding something semiplausible to complain about then faking a protest. They didn't have drones in their neighborhood, but hey! how about the Google busses?

So, #2, the preference is to have no reason to move into the neighborhood? Somebody else would have lived there. That's a baffling argument.

#3 is the fault of the residents, not Google. Maybe its the point of the fake protests, to bring up this issue and make it newsworthy, I don't know. But its not SF's business to change the zoning laws of other cities. So no they don't have a way to 'push back' and rightly so.

Some of it must have required at least some level of code review (e.g. (MACFileIO.cpp, Line 209)). Even so, between the review, and the writeup, etc, if the total 'billed hours' is really ~10, the rather large hourly rates I've seen for such audits do appear much more appetising, at least to me.
Actually its been remarkably effective in other countries, have you been reading the news? Our own soldiers have not been terribly effective at pacifying unrest, and the locals have nothing but rifles etc.

I think this practice tends to encourage merging code later rather than sooner, which has caused more problems in code I've worked on than anything else. With N developers, you may end up with N or more increasingly diverging branches. If feature A and feature B subtly breaks one another, neither developer A or B will catch this problem until both branches are merged into master, at which point both developers are probably convinced their code works, and may have moved on. If they had worked on the same branch, the problem would have been apparent from the moment the code was written.
Right, so it's not much more than a racket, is it?
Are they using more than the road?
This is the classic "I want to use a new, more powerful tool, but I'm going to rely on concepts from the old tool and not bother to learn the new one." If you're using git in this way, you should just use svn. You'll be missing out on the power of git, but you already are, and at least your tool will match your mental model of it.
This is nothing like XUL. It's just some abstraction layers written in C++. The hygiene from the Chromium side is that it allows us to share some code with abstractions we already have for the web platform.

Chrome UI on Windows, ChromeOS and soon Linux are comprised of a few layers:

Views (widget toolkit abstraction) - tabs, buttons, textfields, etc.
Aura (window/"native widget" abstraction, event dispatching, what most code at layers above would consider to be the XWindow, except the XWindow is abstracted (and there is only one XWindow per top level browser window))
CC - (Chrome Compositor, also used for web content.)

They're all in native code since being able to drop down to the metal (& grab the app's toplevel XWindow) is often useful when building a desktop UI. HTML/JS/CSS binding to CC is limited to Blink.
And if you work on a large project, people will push their own development branches upstream and other people will complain there are branches there. Git pull offers very little good stuff, compared to fetch and whatever.
Write iOS Apps in Scala with Migeran – with On Device Debugging and more
I agree. This is a largely a subjective question. What you like, what makes you productive and what you feel makes you productive all play a part and are all pretty subjective.

I think people feel like because it's work related it is and must be objective. Measurable and provably better for all involved. It gets very transparent when you hear the reasoning behind very senior people's large expensive offices. There's always some pseudo rational justification.

I'm not saying that environment doesn't affect productivity. I'm saying I don't think that's what is enflaming passions. I see office environments as a form of consumption. Our standards for homes and cars and phones have gone up. Why not office chairs and square footage? Thinking of it that way naturally lends to subjectivity. What you like is supposed to be subjective.
