why is TechCrunch claiming Scott Chacon is a co-founder? He is married also but his wife is friends with Julie on Facebook so I doubt him

I doubt it was PJ's wife - https://twitter.com/kldub

which narrows it down to Theresa Preston-Werner and just for kicks

You don't need a whole pc refresh, just put in $100 solid state drives. I haven't thrown away any computers since ssd's came out.
According to Russian media.
Yeah, well, I'm sure NASA is already wondering the same thing with the ISS, seeing how Russia is currently the only method they have of bringing people to and from the station. At this point though, at least the science community has been able to keep peace.
Your first point is valid. It depends on what actually happened.

But the OP's comment: "As for the hula hooping... you're telling me that two women hula hooping to music in the workplace is perfectly appropriate, but when the other people nearby (who are going to be mostly males if the majority of employees are male - go figure) suddenly notice, that's the inappropriate part? Really?".

Is the part that bothered me, they are implying that the inappropriate part is the women hoola hooping. The logic there that I have a problem with is that it's the women's fault for being attractive, and that the man isn't at as much fault for being attracted to it because the women are doing something attractive.

Which is the same logic used to enforce burqa laws. I'm not saying the OP's thinking will lead to burqas or anything, merely that it's the same axiomatic view of the world. Basically, I never invoked a slippery slope, I was drawing a parallel in axioms.

As an example on an actual slippery slope, to argue against gay marriage and say then people will marry dogs! It's implying that because we are going to change marriages definition it will just change to anything. When in actuality we have a specific argument based off of axioms of equality that lead us to the conclusion that marriage should be between two consenting adults. An argument similar to the one I made would be: "The same logic that lets different races marry also means we should let similar genders marry".
So are you saying there's a huge market opportunity for someone who could help deploy this?
I would suggest adding a Paypal (or similar) donation button as well, so non-bitcoin people, or those who wish to hold theirs, can donate too.
Russia stomping on neighbors to protect it's interests has been a common theme for years. Not right, and I expect some interesting outcomes of the whole Ukraine thing, but really not unexpected.

For me, the Malaysian 777 story is an interesting potential seque into the future of terrorism. Personally, if the airliner is in tact and ever is identified in the air again, I think it will be shot down. That said, the story has been one of mystery and mismanagement.
It's not that people were looking, it was that they were gawking. It's not that they glanced at it, or watched for a few seconds. It's that they spent a prolonged time watching it.
That seems like a pretty naive position to me. Hiring is not as easy as you make it sound, nor are people's motivations so transparent.
Actually according to the Washington Post they did have enough fuel for N Korea

Sadly, a country invading the sovereignty of another is not a rare event.

Someone with technical skill to fly a Boeing 777 in such a capacity is the stuff the make movies out of. The slight possibility that the plane has actually landed makes it extremely captivating.
No, too far away -- the possible flying radius after contact was lost has been pretty well established, and North Korea is well outside that radius. Also, when last detected, they were flying in the opposite direction.
> Both the timing and informal nature of the phrase, spoken to air traffic controllers as the plane was leaving Malaysian-run airspace could further heighten suspicions of hijacking or sabotage, it said.

I've listened to a fair amount of air traffic control[1] and a phrase like that, especially when signing off of a frequency, is not at all unusual so I don't know why they're focusing on its informality.

That's because no one cared about the Internet back then. You could read everything interesting on Usenet, refresh rn, have a few new articles, and then...nothing.

The web was the same way, except that we could kill time looking for material for our one-page sites on deformed baby skeletons.
there is always the center of the contact area, which is a single point. it would certainly take getting used to though, and the data would probably have to be run through some kind of annealing

Would have to be a pretty hardened pilot to take a 777 down to FL 50 and keep her there anywhere except approach.

"Experts said flying a Boeing 777 in such a way would be dangerous, stressing the airframe and possibly causing those on board to be air sick and suffer from spatial disorientation."

This truly meets the definition of incredible. How could you be that good, but then end up crashing the plane? If you are that good, then you are not going to crash that plane.
Sadly, true. I would cheerfully murder somebody for something as good as Slime for OCaml.
They don't call Austin the "Live music capital of the world" for nothing.
An automated chip factory intended for use in a self-replicating machine is only useful if it can produce chips from unprocessed ore. You can make your job a lot easier if you design it to just run on silicon boules-- but those are almost as expensive per kilogram as finished packaged chips...

So you need a furnace for refining sand, a chemical factory to produce the dopants, lithography equipment, clean rooms, ultraprecise steppers...

Really, the problem here is the hidden complexity. It's not like you can look an obsolete chip foundry, and say, "Okay, so this facility is worth $100 million, and is about an acre of equipment, how do we miniaturize it?"

That single foundry is the tip of a $100 billion pyramid. You can't just replicate the foundry, you have to replicate all the factories that built the stuff that went into the foundry.
Don't look at me man, I voted ZOD.

But this makes me recall the line from Alan Moore-

“Yes, there is a conspiracy, indeed there are a great number of conspiracies, all tripping each other up… the main thing that I learned about conspiracy theories is that conspiracy theorists actually believe in the conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is chaotic. The truth is, that it is not the Jewish banking conspiracy, or the grey aliens, or the twelve-foot reptiloids from another dimension that are in control, the truth is far more frightening; no-one is in control, the world is rudderless.”
Transmitting personally identifiable information, including credit card data and supporting documentation as suggested in the article, through email, text or an app sounds like an extremely dangerous minefield.
Pro-Tip: Neither are secure.

Using Email or SMS are equally bad and frankly its actually easier to send a fake SMS. That said, its contextual and SMS is usually faster, especially if you use gmail/etc.

Without an actual OTP or TOTP token, its basically just window dressing. And to be completely real, I'd worry more about an exploit of the site's code than any sort of 2FA issue.
Yes, noticed this also, but I think the headline was written by someone other than the source of the article. I think the article is meant to say descended 1500m, not descended to 1500m. Nothing in the article body suggests a descent to 1500m, and that would be a very inefficient altitude to fly a big jet.
When things like this happen I always wonder if there are any agencies that still consult "psychics"

There's a big difference between "on average, women are more socially adept while men are more mathematically adept" and "women socially understand things at a level most men will never achieve". The former is a statement about averages; the latter is a statement about absolutes.

It's okay to make generalizations based on imperfect correlates - like gender - as long as you understand they're generalizations, and are open to revising your judgment if new, more specific information appears. The comment that sparked this thread didn't evidence any of that understanding.
that seems like a poor analogy to me. Try this one

Harry: I can't afford to do that

Tom: I don't know, I don't have enough info here to know if you can afford to do it or not.

Bob: Are you saying that Tom is lying, or that he doesn't know his own situation?

The big difference in this case is that while it is totally plausible for X and Y in your conversation to know literally nothing about Portugal, in my example it is not plausible for Harry to be unaware of his own situation without being an idiot. So when Tom 'withholds judgment' on Harry's situation, he is saying that evidence directly from Harry is untrustworthy - Harry is either a liar or an idiot. (I introduced the third person, Bob, as in this case Tom is Horvath and she is not the one responding to you, doubting Tom).
This is a hell of a response.

You take a quote from the end of the original article, some 200 words, and use it as a basis to tear down Julie's character ("seems like..." and "sounds like..."). I mean, seriously, it's marvelous: you jump from hula-hooping to identifying social angst in Julie's life in two sentences. Bravo!

We do not know Julie. Pretending otherwise, and using that as grounds for tearing down her claims, devalues their significance. I'm surprised, given that you understand what oppression means at a workplace, that you readily dismiss her serious claims on such flimsy grounds.
> The logic there that I have a problem with is that it's the women's fault for being attractive, and that the man isn't at as much fault for being attracted to it because the women are doing something attractive.

I totally agree with this.

It's akin to people saying things like "...asked to be assaulted because she was at the club/dressed provacatively/is a flirt."

What isn't clear is if the hulahoopers felt uncomfortable, or was it just Horvath. Again speculating wildly, I wonder if she is more sensitive to gender issues (perhaps even classified as overly sensitive)?
Why wouldn't it be? It is still streaming and it will start playing the video soon after you hit the play button instead of downloading the entire video first. The only difference is that it will be caching the download for a certain period of time and possibly downloading rare chunks with extra bandwidth ahead of when the chunks are actually needed. The truth is though, if the torrent is not top heavy with seeders then it is no good anyway so I don't really get why people are so focused on rare chunks.
>These systems were manually disabled.

it isn't a type of the system i was talking about as ability, in flight, to disable a system excludes the system from the "security" category. Just for the sake of example, placing a battery powered device like always-connected satellite phone into unreachable in flight part of the plane (end of wing for example) would be like something alone the lines of "a security satellite system"

>I only need to point out the many companies that don't pay dividends and yet are widely accepted as investments.

Your logical error is in assuming that if a company that pays no dividends now is considered a good investment, then that must mean that investors don't care if that company never pays dividends. On the contrary, investors don't care if Google pays dividends now, because every dollar Google doesn't pay as a dividend gets reinvested in the company, or at least kept as cash, which enables them to pay more dividends in the future.

If Google simply kept that money forever, that would make it into some weird ponzi scheme that the world has never seen before (and we would have to wait until the end of time to find out). Back in the real world, companies typically do, as your yourself imply, eventually stop growing and start paying dividends.

>you have no idea to whom you are speaking, how I made my fortune, and you are certainly not in a position to lecture anyone about equities.

No one gives a shit about your fortune. I'm done with this, but next time try reading what you are replying to carefully, instead of just blasting out facts.
The answer to both questions is undeniably "Yes".
> and tell the women if they want to hula hoop, do it some place more private.

Indeed. And just in case men still gawked at them, she could have brought some free niqab to work for them to wear.

They use campfire so giving anyone access to the chat logs would be as simple as adding them. They could then look at any logged history (almost all of it, unless the room was locked) and search through it however they liked.
I'm curious if the company itself took this up or if board pressure played a part. It is sad that the events transpired as they did with out management stepping up earlier.
You didn't refute his point at all.. He said
> You are correct about the empirical facts (there exist some companies don't currently pay dividends), but theory is needed to understand that if those company's never paid dividends, they would be worthless.

Which means that EVENTUALLY, these companies will either pay dividends or their stocks are worthless. You pointed out companies that currently do not pay out dividends, but it in no way refutes his statement.

And I have to say he's right. Why? Because if companies never pay out dividends, you're buying stock where the sole method of making profit is by selling it for a higher price. Yes, it's how the market works, but if stocks inherently do nothing (no dividends/dividend-likes, no voting), then they are inherently worthless.

Simply because a market exists where people buy low and sell high does not mean that stocks can exist without inherent value. It may be true for now, but the person you were responding to said (keyword here) eventually. Otherwise, rocks have just as much value as stock.

EDIT: Two things. One is that I just remembered that Apple recently started paying out dividends in the last year or two. Here's an example of a company that did not pay dividends for a long time and EVENTUALLY started to.

The second thing is that I usually hate downvoting people, but you were incredibly aggressive rather than calmly attempting to understand (or be understood by the person) you were conversing with.
so the source looks like a nuclear bomb tutorial.

> is there a technical reason that you couldn't use the echos from their radar without broadcasting your own?

Yes, there is. The only way to exploit someone else's radar for your own target detection would be to reflect so much of the original signal out into space that your craft would be assured of detection. It contradicts the idea of stealth.

All you can do with someone else's radar is locate the radar. Anything else would jeopardize stealth, which is a big issue in modern times.

> ... both the broadcast frequency and, say, a pulse every 0.5 seconds

Military radars don't broadcast continuously, to avoid making it too easy to track the source. Also, modern radars use frequency-hopping and irregular pulse intervals to avoid predictable patterns. Phased-array radars even go so far as to randomize their search patterns in three dimensions, to further confuse the enemy about the nature of the signal and its source.
It doesn't share the same security benefit. "Prove you can access an email address" is sufficient to reset someone's password, which collapses your 2FA into single-factor authentication. That is problematic because people lose Gmail accounts all the time, typically because users, in aggregate, suck at password management. For every 100k accounts PasteBin'ed due to insecure practices at a random startup or web bulletin board, another 500 or 1000 gmail accounts get compromised.
This is the article referenced by the guardian, its language is (properly) articulared in much better english.

Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 dropped to altitudes as low as 1524 metres (5000 feet) using a dangerous flying technique called “terrain masking” to avoid radar in at least three countries, investigators believe.

How do you make sure only the eyes intended to see the data see it and nobody else?

Why isn't this a concern with ADS-B, which allows anyone with the right equipment (or access to a flight tracking website) to track planes in real time?

And cost-versus-risk has been decided in favor of increasing cost (and safety) in numerous aircraft systems already.

Also, if one factors in the cost of one more huge deep ocean search, a few more cents per ticket won't seem so bad. Who pays for these searches and investigations anyway - the airlines or governments (privatizing profits and socializing losses)?
No but it does to stock.

The post only states that the founder's wife will no longer be permitted in the office. It neither confirms nor denies anything. This post is cleverly crafted but is not a confirmation of any of Horvath's claims.
Not sure how long you've lived there but the mall I think you're referring to (utc) was remodeled not long ago. The clientele in the area has gotten more upscale and the re-design and new stores (upscale restaurants, tesla, etc) reflects on this. Fwiw based on trying to go there for lunch, foot traffic has never been better.
> it implies a work environment where it is ok to sexually objectify your co-workers (or that seems to be how she took it)

What? This is a case where two people did something unusual in a work environment and garnered the attention of their coworkers. That's expected. It's unexpected that you think it necessarily implies sexual objectification.

Go stand in the middle of your office tomorrow and hoola hoop. Whatever sex you are, and whatever sex your coworkers are, I promise you'll get looks for long enough to be considered gawking :) If you choose to complain to HR that you were sexually objectified, well, that's up to you.

I'm not saying it Wasn't sexual objectification, just that to gawk at something unusual in the office doesn't necessarily imply sexual objectification.
Since I'm just talking to myself here, I'll continue with another thought.

If I were in or interested in city government, here's what I would do: pass a city ordinance that A) limits residential short-term leasing (<30 days) to a maximum of 4 events with a maximum of 28 cumulative days (allows for vacations and special events, as detailed in my post above); and B) requires any company offering or brokering or representing such properties (such as AirBnB, VRBO, etc.) to enforce A) and report actual usage to the city for tax purposes.

To me, this is a sensible compromise to regulate the residential homestays enabled by the AirBnB model, to get the benefits of this model and limit the impacts on neighbors and the rental/real estate market. It will also eliminate the unfair "first-mover" advantage that AirBnB encourages (if you are the first in your neighborhood to buy or develop a one- multi-unit mini-hotal, you can fly under the radar and make a small fortune, essentially get a free property). Depending on the local conditions, the city could consider a vacation rental license that allows year-round short term rental--in which case the property can be listed on websites as long as it is described as such and the license must be listed in the ad. Occupancy and taxes must be reported to the city/local government as in the first case.
Sorry, for some reason I was thinking that they were hired in January of 2013.

I wasn't suggesting that HR bring forth radical change, either, merely recognize the problems and work towards finding a solution (even though that would have been extremely difficult in itself, considering how little the executives seemed to help).
Out of context, maybe the hula-hooping is harmless. Whatever, fine. Now consider the hula-hooping when

> a coworker hit on you and messed with your work after you shot him down, and

> a founder's wife -- someone with significant power at the company -- attempts to inject herself into your relationship and intimidates you

> you seemingly have nowhere to go to discuss these issues, after speaking with another founder does not change your working atmosphere

Again, as someone who supposedly understands oppression in the workplace, you're not empathizing with someone who claims to have experienced it.
The Asus model 1015E does not let you disable Restricted Boot, nor does it allow you to re-enable Legacy Boot.
