Ha, that was indeed a typo, and I think it's too late to correct it now.

It seems from your tone that you believe that a company who is intereste din patenting any ideas their engineers come up with is somehow evil, but it's just an effort to protect any competitive advantage they have.

Sure there's nothing stopping companies releasing their trade secrets, but the patent system gives them the incentive to, for the benefit of themselves and others. They're primarilly about ensuring developments in the usful arts are made available for all for the greater benefit of society. Too many people forget this fact.

I'm glad at least one person can see that most patents are not just a matter of being mere algorithms; they're specific processes which have some kind of useful result. Arithmetic coding by itself is a mere algorithm, but its use to compress data in an optimal way is patentable because it provides a useful useful result. There are countless other examples, but they are too often misreported because of a lack of knowledge of the patent system or even how to read a patent correctly when it comes to the legal metters involved.
May I ask what kind of F/OSS software bugs have you found and fixed (as a user) which you were unable to with proprietary software? I don't need a list, I want to know more about the description of the bug.
To be pedantic, it should be noted that the contrast to polyandry I believe you're looking for is 'polygyny'. PolyGAmy refers to any practice of having more than one spouse, regardless of gender.
Do you know if Blekko asked all the sites it wanted to crawl, to allow its ScoutJet crawler to crawl their pages?
I always thought the best random number generator was:

Take a large Pseudo random #, & add that (in hours) to your current time. Pick a large enough pseudo space to cover 10+ years. Then, read that combined time in microseconds. This combines a real randomness (your current microseconds) that spans all space.

That would cover a very large space in a very random fashion.

The attacker would have to know your computed time to narrow it down, but couldn't narrow it down much at all, since it's combined with the large pseudo random #.

The problem with most Pseudo's is that they are sparse, leaving too much space unhit.
But the article is pretty much the answer to that question, isn't it? People from enormously different backgrounds came together, they stood in the face of inciting commentary/questions. I imagine that, as with the trolling, it is more difficult to protect your viewpoints in person than online.

No, since there's no way to check iframe's domain I don't think it can be fixed for iframes.

They should stop asking for user's password right there, because it makes people trust any iframe

If you're thinking of suicide (killing yourself), don't do it. There are lot of good things in front of you.

You're 18. One year -- as you said -- and you'll have the rest of your life to be on your own, make your own decisions. Make your own mistakes, even. But they'll be yours. No one else's.

It can feel helpless, not being in control of your life. I get it. I was there too. But it gets better (I'm 25 now).
> I mean, is not being able to take action on illegal file sharing when the feds come knocking really something to be proud of? It's a liability from a company perspective, not a strength IMO.

In the Post-Snowden world, I think it is.

This being said, shouting "yes we can do this if you share copyrighted works!" means begging to be sued by the content provider on a contributory infringement basis. Hence it is far better to point to non-infringing uses, and general privacy features.

My biggest problem with this is that they're using Javascript to implement this: Eich was instrumental in it's implementation: If you're going to take a stance be consistent.

Also the "Internet Exploder" thing detracts significantly from the professionalism of the letter.

What language is this written in? I can't understand what it's about. Games or something?
Yes, definitely. This is a really annoying drawback of Azure websites, because apart from that it is a really good little service for lighter loads. We've found great success in using it for API services and the like that get little traffic, but could do with being separated out from the core website.

It's actually worse than it just being $39/month, because you can't use the free or shared tiers, which is even more annoying.

Azure peeps: please change this! It makes it very hard to justify using Azure websites when you could just get your own VM and install an SSL cert on that with no restrictions for lot less.

It Pays To Read License Agreements (7 Years Later-2012)
I'd dispute that many design changes can be proven in any meaningful way. There are too many variables, and optimising for clicks on one button might affect all others on a page. It's very hard to measure everything at once, and it doesn't sound like Google tried in this instance.
> As far as shipping LLVM and letting the machines do the last step, that should make software developers uncomfortable.

Why? This is how Windows Phone 8 works (MDIL) and Android will as well (ART).

On WP 8 case, MDIL are ARM/x86 binaries just with symbolic names left in the executable. The symbolic names are resolved into memory addresses at installation time, by a simplified on device linker.

Android's ART, already made default on the public development tree, compiles dex to machine code on device installation.
Ask HN: What do you do to reduce Bounce Rate?
A very simple question. I am using Google Analytics and while I'm not sure if I can rely on the bounce rate provided by their services, I seem to get a relatively high number for that rate (usually 60%+). I am not sure how I can interpret that and what I should do to reduce that rate (of even if that's a problem altogether). Could you provide any advice?

Some DNS clients ignore the TTL, or have their own minimums.

One of the worst offenders, ironically, is Microsoft's own Windows XP which is notorious for having a minimum TTL of 10 minutes, forcing people away from DNS as a means of failover.

That may be what you want the discussion to be, because then you "win" according to some "rules" you wish existed, but it's not. Or wasn't, rather. The discussion is long over. It was over the moment you decided to be a dick.

First of all are you OK from the accident? I had a motorcycle accident a long time ago and it's easy to get very injured.

In other news, Yahoo announced that it is purchasing RadioShack with the intent of resurrecting the Tandy brand to launch a new line of affordable personal computing devices.

"Tandy was an iconic brand that was ahead of its time," Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer stated. "Tandy's acquisition of GRiD Systems, the maker of the first consumer tablet, the GRiDPad, might have been several decades too early, but we're a forward-thinking company and look forward to building on Tandy's legacy of innovation."

The deal must be approved by RadioShack shareholders. Under the proposed terms, shareholders of RadioShack stock would receive a vintage Broadcast.com stock certificate with photo of Mark Cuban, 2 Geocities t-shirts, and 50 premium Tumblr themes.
what sort of devices it would support mobile or laptop?
Waitress gets best tip ever – prankit fwd week begins
Oh shit, you mean you need to get out of Italy? Moving out of your fathers home is not enough? Because you say you need to finish school, I guess you have no income on your own yet? That makes it harder but not impossible. In some countries it's possible to drop out of school and finish the last year(s) in an evening school or with an external exam, is there anything like this in Italy? That might be a possibility later on and would give you some time to deal with your living situation now. Staying with relatives or friends is no option for you - maybe even just for the one day of rest you need from time to time?
I am sorry if those are too many questions, but it's hard to give a recommendation without more information for me. Sometimes it pays of to just push one year through if it is likely to get better afterwards and sometimes its better to get out of the situation as quickly as possible. I wish you good luck in any case and, as calcsam said: Those things will most probably get better!

I don't have any other person to talk about this, except to my friends but, they don't know about what is going on with my parents and i don't want to talk about this to someone "real"... Here i can stay like an "anon" and this is peobably why i even wrote this article in the first place...

Project Ara Cellphone Developers Conference
April Fools finished 4 hours ago for me so I don't really find this funny at all.

I feel kinda annoyed that I looked at what superficially looked like a interesting problem. Can you find the algorithm given pseudorandom random numbers? Can you find any sort of pattern? Interesting stuff that's all within the realms of the possible.

I understand why people in the Kaggle community would enjoy it, you visit their site and see a funny joke, it helps build community.

Not so funny when you get sent straight there.
It is called Eastern Europe - 100Mb/s for 20 euro a month with static IP and no traffic limits.

Also we have right now large fiber to the home deployments.
From the article: "He was also a huge liability ... pre-production meetings quickly turned towards one recurring fear: that someone external would say something offensive, trip an emotional switch, turn the environment toxic – and the devs would walk ... Matti and the members of the second team were a time bomb, but for some reason, no one did anything about it."

This is not about someone unknown suddenly acting offensive. The guy was known and nobody tried to tone him down.

I agree with you that generally we must allow companies to make hiring mistakes. I also thing that it is better for everybody if even biggest jerks can get job and earn living (instead of being unemployed on help). But known jerks should not be kept at positions where they can screw others big time.

Some bullet point advice:
- first make sure you really want to move to Japan. I'd suggest doing at least one trip (stay as long as you can) to really make sure you want to live and work in Japan.
- You need academic credentials if you want to get a visa in Japan (unless you come as a student). At least a Masters' Degree.
- You need to build a network/contacts locally in order to make yourself visible, and know their needs. That's probably the hardest part, but something you can start addressing while visiting the country during a trip.
- Be in touch with the latest technologies in the West, as most of the web development in Japan is years late. That's where you can bring some positive insights and practices to local businesses.
- Japan is a Windows/Mac/iOS world so you better focus on these environments to have some value on the market here. Android is still small here, and Linux is virtually unknown.
- Learning a bit of Japanese would not hurt, but it's not mandatory.

Let me know if you have questions on particular points...
Sorry, what i meant is that i would go anywhere else to stay away from here, and i don't think there is something like that in italy (about exams), also i could ask to stay at my friends house for one day or two, but they are going to ask questions... And in this emotional state i can't lie also i'm

HD4000...hmm can we play Diablo III on it?
Because it ended for you means noone else finds it funny eh.
Yes, you absolutely _should_ design for that. That's why it's kind of hard to get mad at this shortcoming, because the answer is just that you should have been following best practices anyway.

In practice, though, I often found myself getting annoyed that I had that enforced on me. On AWS or most other providers I've used, if you have a workload that isn't particularly mission critical you can get away with just expecting the machine to always stay up. It'll probably only go down once a year or so. Obviously not the best way to design a system, but a handy tradeoff to be able to make in order to save a little cash or complexity.

>but the application code is emulated. It's faster than you think, and Apple has already done it twice: once in 1994, and once in 2005 (exercise for the reader: try extrapolating).

Well in PowerPC->x86 transition x86 was the faster chip. The emulation cost was discounted by some amount. If you go from x86->ARM, ARM is the slower chip, so there's never going to be _improvement_ in performance compared to x86. I don't see why you're equating the two.

I had hoped to use BeagleBoneBlack for a mobile low-powered application, but the overhead of the different architecture was too much hassle, and I ended up using an Intel NUC.

With NUC I can use the same OS as our high-end servers, same 64-bit apt-get repos, and Docker.

Back when we were using Azure heavily, the answer from the Azure team members I was talking to was that they had no mechanism to warn me when the machine was going to go down.

The primary workload we were running was video game servers. The server stores all state ephemerally in RAM tied to the process. When it goes down, that play session is over and all players are booted. This was just a constraint of the software that we had to live with.

What I was looking for was some kind of heads up so that I could at least try and take down the process gracefully, but that wasn't possible.

As said, this was a while ago. Hopefully the situation is now different.

Yes. I'm old enough to remember the times though when even some of the creators of the standard still thought otherwise:

"Given that namespaces have definitive material, and that such definitive material is typically available on the Web, and that namespace names may be "http:"-class URIs, it is a grievous waste of potential if it is not possible to use the namespace name in retrieving the definitive material."

And in order to do all the processing and transformations popular at the time somewhere there should be the copies of the documents specified with the URI's. Bruce detected some loads from some documents stored in the DLLs, locally.

There is no objective truth for situations like that. So I don't know if the following is right for you, but if you see any possibility to talk too your friends about the situation I personally would recommend to do it. Hopefully they are willing to support you but even if not: just talking to people who you trust can make the situation much clearer for yourself and if it also gives you a way to get out for a few that might be even more helpful. But, of course, it's hard to give good advise to anonymous people on the internet without knowing much about their live, so please apply your own good measure.

For me, as for some others in this thread, the time between 16 and 19 was the hardest part of my live. I dropped out of school and spent some years with very little money and a somewhat unstable housing situation but nowadays (soon to be 25) I still have not finished any school but I got more than enough work and, doing some programming, I earn more than some of my friends who even finished university or at least school. So especially if you have a healthy interest in tech - which I assume, because you are reading hacker news - it might not be worst thing to drop out school. But that depends a lot on you, your skills and the job market in your area so I don't really know for sure.
'But known jerks should not be kept at positions where they can screw others big time.'

I agree, they shouldn't. The impression I get from the article is that once it was brought to the attention of Matti's employers that he was screwing up in a big way, he was quickly given the boot, though I'm open to correction if this turns out not to be the case.
I agree a lot of this becomes cat and mouse game but rate limiting is necessary for the health of their system if not to counter same basic spam prevention. Ideally you want to remove the incentive to spam, which in this case is figuring out emails that have registered coin base accounts that could later be phished.
