What I'm glad is that apparently they did a good job in converting it, and not converting it to OO just for the sake of it and resulting in a crappy API "but it's OO"
Totally unnecessary and melodramatic, in this hypothetical situation all you need is a plane that has no attachment to the nation in question.

Imagine I wanted to kill a person, and I've decided to use a car to do so. I can't use my own car for obvious reasons, so any stolen car will do as long as it doesn't connect to me.
"points toward the involvement of one or more state actors"

I agree ... and so I think it's become useful to identify the skills and knowledge of each of the jet's passengers. You have to assume that, in this case, the plane was hijacked in order to obtain one of the passengers.

Terrorism simply doesn't make sense!

I don't know where you got your ATP from, but there isn't a good reason, in clear weather, to climb above the service ceiling for your air-plane.

Now, I don't miss-underestimate how failures happen, how they combine, but I know my procedures. If I'm pulling fuses for things, I'm going to first SQUARK 7700, have the co-pilot screaming on 121.5, whilst he is charged with flying the plane (following a heading, not dropping out of the sky, like AF447!) whilst I then follow the procedures for the kind of electrical fire. Even if it's only for 10 seconds, the 7700 will be picked up, the ATC will see it light up like an angry chirstmas tree. It will not be 'cancelled' by the transponder then being switched off, the operative would have to cancel it, which they wouldn't do until after contact had been reached. In the case of say 7500, they wouldn't take radio as reason to cancel it.

The point is, the transponder just happened to turn off at the perfect moment (between two ATC services) after the ACARS had been switched off long before.

If you had a fire, that had endangered physically separated, redundant systems in that manner, I doubt the plane would be able to fly for 7 hours. The 777 is a fly by wire plane.

However, if you wanted to drop off, un-noticed, it is the perfect time.

Occam's razor n all that. If I thought such failures were possible, as I've said before, I'd shred my pilots license tomorrow.
There aren't logical motives for school shootings, yet they still happen.
Not necessarily that they "grow more intelligent", but I think you have a good overall point.

Another way of saying it is "Intelligent people are able to take bigger risks".
"gotten" definitely sounds odd to me (I'm from England) but it's worth noting that we do keep that form in "forgotten".

Presumably both were acceptable over here at some stage. "I see no reason why gunpowder and treason should ever be forgot."

No it's not, he is. He is refusing to balance his work out to more healthy levels. He is pushing himself harder to be there. He is not looking for another job.

If he can't control himself and work less, he'll simply do it in another job if he moves on.
I find it very odd that a convicted felon in Kentucky is unable to vote, and considered a "total loser" by you, while someone who did the same crime in Maine has not lost the vote, and so is not a loser.

You can of course define "total loser" to include someone who has been disenfranchised, but that would be an unusual definition that seems deliberately constructed to misinform.
But wasn't she dating someone that worked there? (was she already dating before joining GitHub or did they meet there?) This for me says that she think it is ok for there to be some kind of attraction between co-workers, so I don't see how men gawking to two women hula hooping is the last straw for her.

Of course, if they were screaming 'take it off' or similar, I would agree, but supposedly attractive women doing activities that make their bodies 'jiggle' in a public setting and expect men not to look or stare is ridiculous, and going from that to 'not feeling safe' is too much of a stretch. I understand maybe the previous issues colored her understanding of the situation, but it does leave a bad feeling in my gut that she may just be a drama queen which makes me question her reports on the other issues.
Public policy based on such science impacts millions of people. The lipid hypothesis is a classic example.
I like to have a history of emails from people I know.
Not likely.

The Pitot static systems (which are redundant) on a 777 are very far aware from the transponders. So this fire that magically spread all the way across that, somehow allowed auto pilot to have enough elevator control, change the engine power, but not realise it was hitting the ceiling, then was able to calmly decent from an above service ceiling height?

Incredibly unlikely set of events.
So if a system is easy to hack, it's not hacking? You were clearly not intended to access IE, and you knew it, so you were intentionally breaking a wall that you knew you weren't intended to break. That's pretty much the definition of "hacking" in this context. Whether you needed 2 months of full time analytical cryptography, brute forcing and custom exploit discovery or a 3 line Word macro is completely besides the point.

The idea that because it's possible or easy, it's allowed, is ridiculous. Most crimes are easy to commit.

So indeed, not hacking, for technically able people, means that when faced with a security hole, you decide not to exploit it. I don't walk into people's homes that have the door unlocked either. You call that "putting your hands over your ears, shutting your eyes and going la la la la". Well, I hope you don't live near me.

EDIT: don't get me wrong, I did my share of high school hacking too. I don't condemn what you did. But own up to what it is. You were committing a (petty) crime, just like I was back in the days.
If you have a look at the FAA AIM, there is controller phraseology "squalk standby" which means to disable the transponder. This is to be used when the transponder is seen by the controller to be emitting unreliable or incorrect information. Keep in mind the transponder system design originated in WW2 and is quite crude. The crew and controllers are the main form of error detection and correction.
I honestly want to hope this article is an intentional bait, because otherwise choosing this moment to drop a blatantly sexist article seems strange, and based on my past experience out of character for Atwood.
Unfortunately an even larger subset of the population doesn't need anonymity to act nasty to others, while their victims often need it to prevent it escalating. Google's attempts to force real names on Youtube comments to reduce spam and bad behavior have been... less than impressive in effect. In a lot of discussions if you force real names you ensure that those with the most to lose (and often the most at stake) are also the most vulnerable.

Even presuming that counter to actual experience the generic trolls are deterred by a real names policy, there are others who become a much bigger problem when they've got access to real identities. Why do you think doxing is considered such a big thing? SWATing, offline stalking, physical assault, etc. are all risks as soon as a harasser has your info. Even worse when you're talking about something like domestic violence support groups there's a very real danger of the abuser escalating if they discover the victim has been talking to other people. That's 2.1 million people in the US alone who report physical assault by a partner in a single year who could really use access to resources without revealing themselves.
I hadn't quite thought of it that way, but you're exactly right.
Having perhaps made a poor marriage decision

This was my thought as well. I don't know who the founder is, or what is going on here, but I feel like people are going to be quick to villainize that founder over the actions of his wife, as if they function as one unit.

In reality, if a founder's spouse has that kind of power over the founder's employees, that founder is very likely to be in a divorce within 5 years. In healthy marriages, people don't interfere with their spouses' careers. Support is different from meddling. If JAH's allegations are true, I feel pity rather than anger toward that founder, because it means his marriage is on the rocks and he might not even know it yet.
Didn't he say that he saw it crash and that they didn't find it where he claimed?

Eh, any US based hosting is potentially vulnerble to that. Even non-US based hosting is vulnerble to you being hacked by the NSA. But a company allowing non-employees access is a very different situtation.
Threatening phonecalls are obviously very serious. And it's possible that those threats were not a result of mental illness but just anger and stress. But still, maybe they were a symptom of illness and while legal it'd be better if companies could work with employees who have mental illness. "Fire fast" is popular mantra but there doesn't seem to be much investigation on the effects of employee churn.

They haven't found anything yet, so not sure what to make of that.
The article claims GitHub said that the wife would "work from home". Why would a company say that a non-employee would "work from home". Why would a company allow a non-employee to get into the office that much?

This sounds a lot worse and blatant than just shoulder surfing at home.
Finding Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is a problem google could solve by crowdsourcing the search on the google doodle

They could use an algorithm to generate different satellite images through the possible search images as the google doodle, they could put a toggle button, 'anything look like a plane or wreckage here?' Yes/no. For every yes, show it to more people, see if they agree

I’m sure google has better algorithm experts to figure out what the best images to show are than I can figure out,

but google can find that plane

I've already submitted this to google via email at proposals@google.com as suggested on http://www.google.com/doodles/about

I suspect there are people on HN who are fewer degrees of seperation from who figures out the google doodle than I am though

If you happen to be one of those people, who might be able to send a personal email, or send a text, or make a phone call to someone who could advocate for that being the google doodle, I would appreciate that

needless to say, if google was able to help solve this mystery, I would imagine that would be pretty good publicity for the company

Thanks for your consideration

Sexism in tech companies is a fact whether this "smallest piece of evidence" supports it or not.
What I was saying is "People who have been able to successfully take bigger risks (and still do) become more intelligent" is a possible explanation: This is the converse of what you are saying. Well, I was limiting the "risks" to trusting others, but if I were to use your words, that would be my statement.

The biggest issue with this benchmark is the unrealistic data model and the access pattern.

From my admittedly limited knowledge a better benchmark would involve:

- String keys because who uses int keys? It would be important to create a new set of query keys for retrieving values that would contain a mix of newly created strings as well as older ones to account for any hashcode memoization.
- Non-primitive values. This would address the boxing overhead someone mentioned and would be much closer to real life usage.
- Many more runs. Since there are performance implications of data access patterns due to spatial locality using a larger number of runs this would help even those out.

Another question is, why? The ultimate choice of Java vs C++ won't depend on how fast the standard hash tables are.
That's not how I read it. It seems as though all traffic (globally) to those net blocks was rerouted to Venezuela, for a brief period.
Netflix isn't compatible with Linux.
he's also looking up the key twice (containsKey() and then get()), against once in C++
Interesting idea, but is there really up-to-date satellite imagery of the huge area to search for? I always thought sats can only make high-res pictures of narrow strips, which are then assembled by flying around the earth multiple times, which probably takes a few days/weeks. Anyone knows how this actually works?

If so, they would probably already have seen other faults as well, and at the very least have a warning about the transponder being disabled. Their last communication made no mention of any problems.
Good point. It seems the bot is also good at minding robots.txt so that might be an option. Could also have the honeypot script to do a quick whois on the ip before passing along to fail2ban.
(Not to join in on the conspiracy theories, but...)

If you were part of the plan to hide this plan, surely you'd go along with the ruse and send some search teams to go look at some empty water somewhere else.

I'd guess the crews on the ships and planes would have to do so many hours of training a year anyway, so them circling about for a while would probably count towards that.
Working through a flu (a real flu, not a cold) is not a good idea. I've been around Wall Street and startups for a long-ass time, so I know people who've developed permanent anxiety/panic disorders from that. (March is a deadly month. You have winter's flus and viruses combining with spring's mental health risks.) Flu is usually mild, but it is a potentially life-threatening condition, i.e. not to be fucked around with.

You need to change jobs and get one that won't have you working unreasonable hours. Any time other than now is too late.
Doesn't make sense. Langkawi is on the other side of the country. There are airports on the north east side of Malaysia.
You're obviously an expert anthropologist and psychologist, so perhaps you can explain why is it that women find the need to flaunt their "sexual characteristic" at a workplace party (or any party for that matter)? Is this behavior common among women of all cultures? Has it been common throughout the ages? Is it a result of women's peculiar biology or perhaps of another mysterious dynamics? Is this practice commonly regarded as pleasant among human females? And what is it exactly that they want if they hope to achieve it with this colorful behavior (I once heard that human females may want a stable male partner to help rear their young; is this "hula-hooping at a party" the best evolutionary strategy to obtain that goal)? Also, males of lesser species often display their buttocks prominently to attract females. Is this accepted behavior among humans, too? Is it common practice at GitHub?

I could not agree more to your description of what the life after your PhD seems to be. The only other workday activities you are missing out are probably (a) travelling, meetings, and conferences [lots] and (b) reading papers [hundreds/year].

However, I fail to see how "research maps" would improve our way to catalog and analyze information. What is shown in your ref [1] is a regulatory network. These models have been used for years to drive research into diseases ranging from cancer to neurodegenerative diseases. And, there is (at least in the biomedical sciences) a very vibrant community dedicated to that very job, the "bio-curators" [http://www.biocurator.org/] that directly or indirectly fill (relational) bio-repositories. "Research maps" like STRING, Reactome, PIR, BioCyc, or KEGG, to name a few, have been around for quite a while, too. So I think the claim in [1] that Silva has "invented" "research maps" is a quite some PR exaggeration, as this can be simply described as a "Reactome limited to Neuroscientists only".

I really don't know what exactly it is, but there's something about the Ruby community that seems to draw in immaturity, and them amplify it.

This pervasive immaturity does tend to result in things going sour, and for some reason it always tends to happen in a very dramatic and public manner.
Seriously? You would fire employee for making an awkward and advance? I can see firing person for reverting commits as vengeance. I can see firing person for harassing someone or if he was threatening.

I can not see it reasonable to fire employee for asking another one on date once, even if it was awkward and unexpected.

Twisted is a pretty big dependency. The entire stack that I work on depends heavily on Twisted, and we use a lot of it, so until it's ready on Pyhon 3, it'll be hard for us to move.

Wishful thinking. Aircraft are designed to be operated by professional crews -- not ex-convicts on work release. So, there are accessible circuit breakers to turn various things off.
Sold where and how?

2 tons of gold are something that a reasonable person can actually expect to be able to convert into money without undue risk to his person. A stolen airplane isn't.

People keep talking about how this needs so much sophistication that it's probably a state action.

All I can see is something that one person with good planning could have done. That is, the pilot or the co-pilot waits until the other guy visits bathroom, climbs high enough and disables pressurization to knock out/kill the passengers and the rest of the crew, then disable communications, turn off transponder, sneak out of controlled airspace behind another plane, land anywhere with an unused strip with a truck waiting, abscond with the cargo.

That requires sophistication and careful planning, but is not beyond the realm of the possible.

Why are we still looking for this damn plane? Thirty countries involved? Thirty nation's worth of ships, planes and satellite analysts, flying and sailing around and for what, some debris and a box? To buy the families closure of some sort? Maybe a defect in the 777? To keep hope alive that the passengers might be alive and safe somewhere captured by reasonable terrorists with a lot of food?

Doesn't seem worth the fuel.

These black boxes from what I heard stop pinging after a month. Can we stop then, and just move on in life until one day some seat cushion washes up in California and have a moment if silence? Without it pinging, just how wide an area can a ship in substantial depth detect a wingtip?

I realize you didn't, but if you ask me, they should just frame that copilot, say they found on his flight simulator evidence that he intended to make that "deliberate" turn every night, disabling the transponder with the ctrl+shift+T combination and purposefully crashing hours later each time in a different location, with known Islamic terrorists on his WhatsApp and Skype, or a suicide note, then call off the hunt, pay the families off for failing to screen this guy effectively, bam, there's your closure, problem solved.

Electronic Transaction Governance: Implementing Risk Management
RF-sensing of activities from non-cooperative subjects ...
Early last year (2013), I decided to use BE and am working a Java client-library, Mylyn connector and Trello-like kanban web-interface integrated into BE. Recently I saw the (Scala-based) GitBucket and immediately thought it would be very cool if the back-end for issue tracking was just BE.

The missing pieces (from my perspective) on GitBucket is that I can't use ssh keys for identification/authorization. I think GitHub, Gitolite, etc do this part right.

EDIT: Fossil always seemed interesting, and now there's Veracity which is missing IDE integration but seems to have all the server-client parts done correctly.
Dynamic Code Injection for Good
Never underestimate "pilot familiarity." In an emergency, a pilot is going to favor an airstrip he/she is familiar with over an unknown one. Perhaps the captain was more familiar with Langkawi?
Nothing except inertia. There are many alternative root operators. It's just that none of them have managed to convince enough people to use them.
You'd imagine that the transponder going out would immediately bring up a fault warning in the cockpit, though, even if the fire itself had somehow not been detected. But I suppose a sufficiently bad bug in the flight systems might be invoked to cover that.
