Yes, but it varies, because we have automatic malware detection, automatic hacked site detection, and manual hacked site detection.

For example, if we manually detect that a subdirectory of a site is hacked, we may remove only that subdirectory from our search results. If your entire site is hacked, then your entire site may be demoted or removed until the site is clean.

Man, we could talk about this for hours. There's a lot of nuances involved in trying to alert site owners to issues, especially at a large scale. We've tried about 6-7 approaches over the years, and I'm still not completely happy with where we are. Freehosts are especially tough (WordPress, Blogger, etc.) because whois would just never work there.

The technique described takes a low quality sensor (a DRAM chip with an open window onto it) and uses it to produce reasonable quality grayscale images.

Interesting to look at the sourcecode of the Kuckoo program (before the widespread adoption of UTF-8!) and how it uses High Dynamic Range tricks to read off the image at different exposures.

With much faster RAM and smaller cells nowadays maybe one could do something cool with very fast photography, but of course the faster/smaller the RAM the more trouble interfacing with it and calibrating the light intake.
I think Servo's "safety" is ultimately due to the fact that it's built on Rust. Rust, however, seems to be ultimately built on C, unless I'm mistaken (having a hard time telling by briefly glancing through their Github, but it looks that way).

My point was that it's not a C specific problem, though. Most browsers are in fact built on C, I agree. This is due primarily to the speed and performance of the language that is harder to reach with other languages.

It is definitely a more difficult language to write, as it is much more "raw," but that doesn't make it inherently unsafe to use, or any more unsafe than other languages.

IRNSS wiki page[1] sums up nicely, on why indigenous navigation system is required:

The requirement of such a navigation system is driven by the fact that access to foreign government-controlled global navigation satellite systems is not guaranteed in hostile situations.

Two more IRNSS satellites will be launched by the end of 2014, and remaining three will be launched by mid 2015. So, the 7 satellite constellation will be ready by 2015. IRNSS receivers (akin to GPS receivers) can be tested by 2014 itself (4 satellites are sufficient for determining position). I've come across few vendors who already have industrial/commercial grade IRNSS receivers[2]. So, it's only a matter of time until we start seeing IRNSS receiver chips in consumer electronic devices.

Missiles use satellite navigation to determine their targets. So, relying on external navigation systems is undesirable.

This is one of the better articles I've read regarding procrastination. It echoes a point that really hit home for me when reading recently[1] -- you don't have to FEEL like doing something to actually do it. This is something I was guilty of.

I would wait until I was in the "zone" before starting work on a personal project or tackling a big task at work. Now, I can recognize when I'm doing that and subsequently avoid it.

We disassembled a "door spy" (door peephole?) and used the lens - if memory serves me correct..

Even if it doesn't become popular for civilian use because of the overwhelming popularity of GPS software and hardware, precise location fixes for military purposes is a no-brainer in 2014.

E.g., Imagine every solider fitted with a receiver/transmitter so that their location is known with a resolution of a few feet. Think that'll make it easier to save the wounded during operations?

It's supposed to cost $250 million (approx $25 million per year since it lasts 10 years). Cost seems wildy reasonable considering just the military benefits.

I have not at any point disputed that people have the legal right to call for firing Eich, or even to say it would be great if he were killed. I don't know why it's necessary to repeat myself 4 times.

I find this whole thing troubling because it's an attempt at suppressing ideas. I always found the movement intellectually vacuous (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7537168). But now they seem to be demonstrating a fear of rational arguments and simply attack those who disagree. I find that a bit scary.
I've talked to one of the folks at Little Herds here in Austin (http://littleherds.org/), and he explained that he'd like to eat a lot more bugs than he does, because he enjoys them and they're nutritious, but the cost is still prohibitive even for him (who is involved in the farming of bugs for consumption).

I'm not sure I understand why that is. The argument is that scale is the biggest limiting factor, but I would think achieving scale would be so much easier. A million crickets is a lot easier to house than even a few hundred steer. I really want to see evidence that insects are sustainable and affordable as a food source before I dive too far down into that particular rabbit hole.

I'm a vegetarian for ethical and environmental reasons, but I'm not sure my ethical stance extends to include insects and arachnids (though I do take them outside rather than kill them). I already occasionally eat clams and scallops and oysters. I'd probably eat bugs, if they were sustainable to farm and if they were not for economic elites only; I also tend to opt out of luxury economies on ethical grounds.
Any chance it's related to this?

Actually the issue was that I was using Google's DNS. When I disabled that, it worked just fine. But thanks for showing me the Chrome trick.

As to the technically correct statement, don't you think that saying a site is a "known malware distributor" is a bit more sweeping than saying something more accurate like "we discovered malware on this site"?

In other words, they are using the same language I would expect to see directed towards sites that have malicious intent and should never be visited.
Well, if one can't imagine why a vegetarian wouldn't eat insects, one needs to expand the imagination. While not speaking for all vegetarians, one of the reasons I don't eat animals or insects is that I hold to the idea that no creature should have reason to fear me. Sure, insects get killed in the harvesting of plants, but I don't harvest plants for the expressed purpose of killing insects.

As with most things it is typically more complicated than "here's a single reason, making it easy for you to mount a counter argument that you think quite clever."

Yes but it's not rational and doesn't help the cause. Everyone has prejudices. If you can't talk about them without fearing some form of angry mob jumping at you then there is no way for people to understand each-other. I don't think there was any way out for him.

And again, as external people who don't know anything about the person we can only have a simplistic view of him. And judging him on this is also a prejudice.
Nah, not quite. You want every cylinder touching all 6 other cylinders and not going through them.
Yes, it is rabid and paranoid, and the repeated "fanboy" references are rather childish. But the article did bring up important points about RedHat's consistent embrace-and-extend history, which is well worth thinking about.

I believe it's better to put politics as far away as possible from this discussion. Nothing good will come from finding those kind of parallels.

That said, I don't like the attitude of systemd devs at all (like I don't like the attitude of GNOME devs...). But the only way to make them lose it is to build something better than systemd - before it becomes so entreched that getting it out of a linux box will be impossible without losing basic functionalities.

That said, systemd is not really that much monolithic.

"Between 2015 and 2017 it will lose 80%". It seems like everyone is basically saying the same thing about Facebook: Eventually facebook won't' be as popular, similar to all social networking sites before it.

I think Facebook, if anyone, knows best how to defer these types of scares. They have some of to brightest minds constantly worrying about these problems. Remember when Google+ came out and people thought Facebook was doomed? Well they survived - and that was a Google effort mind you. At the end of the day Facebook delivers a good product, not to mention established themselves as a legacy platform. I think Zuckerberg stated once that he wanted to be the "dial tone" of the internet. I think they have accomplished this. And as technology continues to develop, Facebook will try its best to stay up to date.
Given that this had several vigorous discussions on HN, I think the current post counts as a dupe. So I'll bury it, unless someone points out something substantially new in it.
Count on Elasticsearch
Well note that the feature is described as "expression-bodied members", not "expression-bodied readonly properties". In Mads's "Future of C#" presentation where most of these features were first floated, he described using the syntax for declaring methods as well as properties:

public Point Move(int dx, int dy) => new Point(X + dx, Y + dy);

Which is logically consistent with the property syntax, but as I say, I have my reservations about it.

There's an arrangement of 8 that's very close to touching, but has been proven to not actually touch:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0195669808...

Others believe they have found both an 8 and a 9:
http://arxiv.org/pdf/1312.6207.pdf

though this may not be exactly the same problem. In particular, the 9 cylinder problem allows 3 radii to be selected and then the other 6 are calculated as a result (meaning the 9 are probably not all identical.) It appears the 7 result in the initial paper is 7 cylinders of equal radius.
FYI, it is possible to call Matplotlib in an 'object-oriented' way without global state; though it's a bit more cumbersome than just using the pylab interface. See http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/webapp_demo.ht... for an example.
Never seen this sort of thing before. Does this hold for an arbitrary radius? What if these were just lines in 3 space?

They're just saying that building it is not a proof - the computer simulation is more exact than the model, and even the simulation is subject to rounding errors in what is considered "touching".

Sounds like they used the computer to search for a proposed solution that _could_ have been a false positive due to rounding error, then verified it through exact mathematical methods.

By "errors" they mean "the minute imperfections created by molding, machining, carving, etc." The rounding errors in the computer model would produce smaller physical artifacts than the manufacturing method would.

I didn't go to college, and am gainfully employed as a UI/UX designer and full-stack developer.

I've heard mixed reviews on whether college gives you enough "real world" value. From what I gather, it sounds like in college you'll learn more traditional "computer science" stuff, which is great if that's not your background. You'll learn classical patterns, some stuff about how to construct algorithms, memory management, big O time complexity, data structures, etc. I had the benefit of learning most of that in high school (they offered C and C++ courses and I had a wonderful teacher), and filled in the gaps by teaching myself (most of that can be learned in a few days if you have access to the internet).

There's a lot of practical knowledge that you'll need if you want to do web development somewhere that requires you to be good at your job. Things like source control (I've never heard of a university that teaches Git), quoting/estimating tasks (something that can only be learned with experience, no way around it), balancing business/tech needs, tooling/workflow optimization, how to choose an appropriate technology stack, and anything on the front-end more advanced than basic CSS, just for starters.

In short, college will NOT prepare you for the web industry. Expect to spend at least a year getting up to the level where you can have a development-oriented conversation with a real web developer. I can't speak to the rest of the industry, since my experience is pretty exclusive to the web.

It sounds like you're doing well just learning on your own, and thankfully we work in an industry where universities can't hoard all the knowledge: anything they can teach you can be found online. They just offer a structured environment in which to consume that knowledge, for those that need some extra hand-holding (probably because the high school education system is an absolute travesty, but that's a rant for another day).

One caveat: if your schooling is paid for (scholarship, parents, etc) then by all means take full advantage of the free ride. I was lucky enough to have a fiance that supported me while I spent about 6 months learning everything I needed to gain employment at a web development agency (and now I support her with that job while she's going to cosmetology school); I can't imagine how hard it would have been to learn all that while having to worry about bills. So, blow off your classes as much as you can without getting kicked out, learn everything you can about real web development, and once you have a job lined up, decide whether you really want to jump ship. Maybe start with contracting or part-time work at a dev shop somewhere.

You have completely misunderstood my meaning. Q: How do we get rid of [slavery|child labor|80 hour work weeks|polluting the waterways] when no one else does? It will be horrible for our industries! A: Convince the other countries to get rid of [slavery|child labor|80 hour work weeks|polluting the waterways] as well. My answer is similar - if Norway's desire to support the human rights of the disabled is so burdensome that business is no longer possible, then a possible solution is to convince other countries to also support the rights of their disabled populations.

"often building things speculatively"

It really depends on what they are building, does it not? If it's the Norwegian equivalent of Amazon, with 150 people working on the project then that's different than a group of 4 undergraduates with a bright idea.

In the main thread, I pointed out that the actual Norwegian laws has exceptions for when there's undue burden. This parallels equivalent ADA exceptions in the US. (In the US: "Employers are not required to provide accommodation where doing so would impose an undue hardship on the business". In Norway, "There is an exemption from the requirement for universal design, if this causes an "undue burden" for the business, see § 13 subsection.")

Almost certainly small speculative startups will not be subject to this law, if it's anything like the ADA. To resolve that will require reading the Norwegian laws directly, which is beyond my powers. (What little I've found says that they are still working on the details.)

I'm hardly calling for a Harrison Bergeron solution. We've had the ADA in the US for 24 years and that hasn't hobbled the able. It's has required companies and owners to spend money (making money is a huge part of a person's life) to redress someone else's disabilities. Many people don't like the ADA for exactly the reasons you don't. It's still the law.

I pointed to successful lawsuits in the US which have established that web sites in the US are subject to the ADA requirements. I pointed to the rule making process which has started to establish what that means. Something equivalent will be happening in the US, either through regulations or piecemeal through lawsuits. Do you want your startup to be surprised by an ADA lawsuit someday? Or would you rather a set of rules where you can figure out when to start with ADA support, once your startup is successful enough?
