When we were in Shanghai for ChinaJoy, we stopped at a Yunan beer bar called Southern Barbarian. Our appetizer was a plate of deep fried crickets, meal worms, and bees. They all had a nice potato chip feel and taste. The bees made my lips numb, so I stopped eating them.

Many of the most important concepts in science, not to mention ethics, are not yet well defined... I don't think your stance here is very productive.
Ever since it became clear that MH370 fell through a gap in the civilian air traffic control system. This has been a story where various nation states cautiously disclose surveillance capability in order to satiate public demand for information.

Nah, I went in on an advertised special defined price on one and even had a TrueCar listing in hand another time. They made up a bunch of mumbo-jumbo that the cars they had aren't exactly like what they advertise. After I said ok to a price, I still had to wait around for hours with wife and two young children to finalize all the paperwork and get the car prepped. Wanted to stab myself in the eye from frustrationand swore I'd never buy new again. It appears there is still a wide space between the negotiated price and driving away.

I think TrueCar is mostly for newer cars, but is it possible they apply the same method to used cars in the future and try to take money off your increased price?

I really like Standard ML in that sense. Unfortunately, seems to be fading away in sense of popularity.
I guess that's it. It feels very arbitrary and unfocused, and I question the specific value. I'd feel awful yelling "karma whore" in a crowded theater without proper evidence, but if it looks and smells like one...
I read the post as being direct and confrontational (as opposed to passive-aggressive).
Yes, but they still block websites that are not connected to Google Webmaster Tools, and the site owners may not realize it. It would be nice if they notified the domain registrant as a heads-up because most small biz site owners that find their way to me may have sites that were designed years ago that need little to no maintaining, so they don't know they've been blocked as they barely ever look at their own sites.
Aren't HN titles supposed to be the original title? The h1 is "Krav til nettløsninger (WCAG)" / "Requirements for network solutions (WCAG)".

In this case a substitution may be necessary to giv an idea of what it's about, but let's please try to be accurate. The requirements apply only to business websites, not to all websites. Regulation of business to protect the public, or in this case to provide for disabled people, is a good thing. Imposing these requirements on non-commercial, civil-society websites would be a serious abridgement of freedom of speech.

Apparently requires 2 Titan's to render. I wonder what you'd be able to pull off if money was no object
From a philosophical point of view you may well be correct. However, there is the option of using behavioural observations as a surrogate. For example, exposing living things to pain stimuli and analogising the response to what we humans know to be a typical reaction to pain.

This does carry the risk of inappropriately anthropomorphising non-human species, but as the question of whether other creatures feel pain is intimately linked to the morality of how humans should treat them (after all, we're not going to be able to stop other animals from inflicting pain on each other), then maybe it's not a problem.
> First, it's already been unblocked.

It's still blocked for me, with Google branding wired.com as "a known malware distributor."
The browser has a local copy of the blocked sites database; so it doesn't have to do any extra request in order to check if a web site is blocked or not.
Those are not your only options. You can get exercise, and improve your health, in ways other than commuting by bike. Ways that reduce risk, not increase them, even.
Oh, I know. Which again is why I'm as concerned as I am.

I think the point of the video was to educate customers so they would know how the company where they're shopping works. Walmart has no interest in doing that of course.
Replace 'walking' with 'cycling' and you have a drivers response to cycling.
Very good initiative; it will hopefully emulate the benefits reaped by the more active cycling cities (e.g. Amsterdam).

However, it should be noted that the program's widespread nature (large city + seemingly non-stringent requisites) has the potential to lead to a black market for discounted membership based on rent-seeking behaviour.

My stance as a vegan is that it is best to err on the side of assuming they do experience some form of subjective reality that probably includes pain. Most insects possess ganglia that integrate and process sensory information, and I would argue that the very process of integrating this information implies that a subjective representation of reality is being created at some level. Pain is a fundamentally important signal for complex organisms; I would really be very surprised if insects did not have some way to detect noxious stimuli.

>the conceptual line drawn between vertebrate animals and other living things regarding which species can experience pain, is really quite arbitrary.

It absolutely is. Right there in the name it is clear that we are mostly divided due to the ease of identifying certain anatomical structures. The way we categorize more complex forms of life is flawed in that it doesn't properly reflect convergently evolved functions. With more 'simple' forms of life like bacteria we get it right in that we more often sort by functionality: methane producing, carbon fixing, anaerobic, aerobic, etc.

"Where are you" and "is the relevant" to me isn't "everything" by a long shot.

Truth is: someone can stumble across a website from literally anywhere on the planet. For those who are in your neighborhood, indicating that you are relevant is useful. Likewise for those who aren't.

The variable can go both ways. If I were to start cycling, I'd soon lose the remaining function in my left knee ... not even sure if that could be repaired with a replacement, which I would loathe to have to do in the first place.

I can walk (no problems there and I like walking) or drive, for me there's no in between.

It's not like they're aren't working on faster broadband (like Google and its project to expand to 10GBps fiber). There are more than one project at any given moment any way, it's not as if the whole country is just working together on one thing at a time here.

The problem with faster broadband isn't technical, it's politics and greed as usual in US. It's very easy to lay out fiber (I'm oversimplifying for the argument here but it is once we put the money to it) to 95% of the homes in US. However, the big companies like Verizon, AT&T, etc wouldn't do this unless there's a huge benefit for them involved. It's much easier for the government to handle this as a utility, rather than an information service.

For this article, the problem was technical as the router can't push the data out at maximum speed to multiple devices at the same time and MU-MIMO in this article is a solution for this.

How about the local network traffic? Even for a single user, having multiple devices reduces the maximum bandwidth the router can push out at any given time. MU-MIMO will help the efficiency of utilizing the maximum potential bandwidth that multiple devices can use at the same time. In my apartment, 3+ people would want to access the Internet at the fastest speed possible and MU-MIMO will make that possible once we all have the compatible chipsets and routers.

With faster Internet speeds, you still need MU-MIMO because you'd like each device to use that speed at the same time. Otherwise, only one device at a time would be able to use your speed and it'd be a waste.
I personally find reading HN on a mobile device really frustrating. Horizontal scrolling is awkward and navigating between comments is frustrating. HN isn't winning any awards for UX.

I really do believe that HN is poorly designed for end users. The UI is not forward with intent, or pleasurable to use. It's been literally years and the expired link issue hasn't been addressed. ---No, I'll stop you right there. It's been acknowledged as an implementation bug, but not addressed. PG's lack of user empathy and stubbornness make HN worse.

‘Mind Your Mind' documentary delves into psychological manipulation and control
Sure, and with PDFs that makes sense. But with ePub, you're going to lose a lot of control anyway, so it's not obvious to me to what extent you can achieve the effect you want, even with a custom tool.
We explored trying to email whois contacts or standard addresses (such as webmaster@example.com or postmaster@example.com) and essentially got zero pickup. That's one of the reasons we provide Webmaster Tools, and so far it's our best channel to notify small business owners.

We can sometimes label sites as hacked in the search results, but Webmaster Tools is definitely the preferred channel for communication of stuff like this.
Design Tests Should Drive Development

In addition, the Netherlands is very flat, and I've found this makes a huge difference. The steepest "hills" I've encountered while biking around cities there are the bridges over canals. Cycling is extremely efficient on flat roads and doesn't take much energy if you're not trying to go too fast. But as soon as you get to a slight incline you notice the difference (especially in the summer when you're concerned about sweating). I consider myself fairly/very athletic and I definitely noticed the difference (how easy it was) when I biked around there.

Obviously, these aren't the only reasons cycling isn't as popular in the US. There are certainly US cities which are just as flat and mild.
Since I learned Haskell and it became my first language years ago, I was used to not be surprised by other language features. The "Haskell does it better" syndrome.

Anyway, I needed to do a small .NET work two years ago. I choose to try F#. It was the first and only time I got highly please by another language features. Actually, I've to admit that I was pissed of : F# may well be a better language than Haskell.
I appreciate the level of detail the author goes to in describing the creation process. Very informative. I did this myself once, but using a patch I made in Max/MSP for drawing and listening to line segments on a pitch vs time plane. For this particular use case, I generated the input score with a Python script rather than drawing them manually. I found that detuning the sustained tones made the biggest difference in matching the original sound, which the article author mentions. Here's a video of my patch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xl4C4zsy9LY
Performance side effects should be negligible, but there are some privacy concerns (your browser is asking Google for each page it visits if it is ok - thus telling G where you surf).
Often when this happens with a large site, it's because of an malware-laden ad. Typically with a smaller site, it's because the site was somehow hacked or didn't stay fully up-to-date on security patches.

Added: Looks like it was an actual hack, not just a bad ad. The Wired folks will want to make sure there's no more iframes from hxxp://zlu bob.org.

Thanks for the clarification, Matt. Does such an action from google also include penalizing the website in terms of page rank and search rankings?
These guidelines does not apply to all websites but (and I translate) "private and government enterprises, communities and organizations that uses the web as it's main channel for distribution of information to the public". But I'd tend to agree that it's a bit far fetched to force on any kind of guidelines.
That's how things play out sometimes - reminds me of how contractors here are forced to build all new houses with certain dimensions on bathrooms, halls, and kitchen to accommodate handicapped people. This again have led to higher prices of housing.
If you only tolerate those people who are tolerant, then how is that even a virtue?

I don't see this issue with Eich as CEO anywhere near the dividing line, so I don't see why I should participate in an investigation of where that boundary might be.

Consider your hypothetical about "opponents of sexual promiscuity". It's reminds me of the real-world situation of the American Coalition of Life Activists, who posted pictures, addresses, etc. of doctors who would carry out abortions. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-abortion_violence#Physicia... . "In an en banc rehearing, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals held that the ACLA could be held liable in damages because the website made a threat unprotected by the First Amendment." (Quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Coalition_of_Life_Acti... )

Your example of getting multiple people to call the employer and advocate dismissal likely falls under misdemeanor harassment. Here's an example of one such law: http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ars/13/02921.htm .

In general I support the right of private person X to call for others to shun person Y. Don't you? That doesn't mean I can't nor shouldn't shun person X in turn.

The photoshopping example may count as libel or criminal defamation. Without actual details, it's hard to say anything for certain. This is why hypotheticals are lousy.

"I'm asking whether we should accept it when people engage in such actions."

No. The underlying premise is silly. Of course you could/should protest. Write HN comments. Blog about it. Boycott. Picket in front of Mozilla's offices. Do whatever you want (within the bounds of law) if you don't like what others are doing. Why would you have to accept it?

I fully support that people can boycott Mozilla for selecting Eich as CEO.

I fully support that people can boycott Mozilla now that Eich is not CEO, and complain that Eich was forced out by a witch hunt. I just wish they would explain how "witch hunt" is different than "boycott and picketing".

Indeed. This is a tough case because the original title is unclear, and the poster's title was wrong and baity. I'll change "all" to "some", at least.

In cases like this, it's helpful when a user suggests a better title. Same for urls.

pearjuice, this simply isn't true. The way that Chrome does this is periodically downloads a file from Google. The file consists of hashes of known-dangerous web pages. When you visit a new URL, the URL is hashed locally and checked against the client-side list of hashes of known-bad pages. If there's no match, Chrome proceeds normally. Only if there is a hash collision does Chrome do more checking to see if the URL is safe.

This is based on WCAG 2, which is for accessibility, i.e. techniques intended to make pages usable for people with disabilities, but these are not requirements for "usability" in general (as in user experience/design of the page).

Did anybody else notice what is written on the upside-down calculator about 1/8 down the page?
Although I 100% agree with you on the expression based properties, the argument against that would be that it doesn't follow the norms for the language as a whole. First class functions are definitely an afterthought for C#, so making this a Func<double> would go against that I reckon:

public double Dist => Sqrt(X * X + Y * Y);

> I'm also concerned about the idea (only 'planned' for now, I believe) for the same syntax for methods which take arguments, though.

Where's this? I must have missed it. Or could you show what it would look like?
"We explored trying to email whois contacts or standard addresses"

Ironic since the original reason for the tech contact was exactly to be notified for issues like this.

Would like to add that as a registrar though we get a reasonably good response to emails that we send. [1]

Perhaps there is something about getting an email from google that says "it's probably spam". Or any large well known company that is often the subject of spam attempts.

Even given that though it's hard for me to believe that the results were close to zero.

[1] We also find that when a domain is deleted for non payment the person frequently claims they received no email notice but then proceeds to make some reference to something that was on the email notice.

"Deerfoot Trail gets you close enough to your destination. Why do you expect door to door service?"
Wow that brings back the memories. DRAM cameras, or "Rameras" were popular with robotics experimenters in the 80's and 90's. From "Android Design" by Martin Bradley Weinstein:

"The ramera was first developed by the Robotics group at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland Ohio, in 1978."

Apparently they wrote up their work in the Sensor Group Journal. They had used a 4008 which was only 64 x 64 pixels.

Not surprisingly this work was the basis for early optical mice which use what is a DRAM circuit as an imager to detect motion of the mouse in two directions without using a rolling ball. This led to a number of roboticists hacking their optical mice into simple cameras (which was much easier than popping the lid on an increasingly hard to find DRAM chip). That practice was then replaced by using CMOS imagers that had been pretty cheap by the early 2000's and of course these days you can get a camera module for a phone very inexpensively (see the PiCAM for $29 for example)
One of my teachers did this in the 1980s with eproms. You could get a reasonable 1bpp silhouette out of a 2716 and a couple of lenses out of a broken pair of binoculars. You had to program it first then use the sun to erase the picture onto it which meant exposure times in the order of 20 mins on a sunny day to flip enough bits plus some figuring out of how the cells were organised. He had one wired to a BBC micro user port with a couple of shift registers and a BASIC program that copied the current state into video memory. I think this was around 1986 and was probably the coolest thing I'd ever seen at the time.

Edit: just remembered - he worked out that if you used a high power camera flash and fired it 20-30 times it had the same effect.
