For Javascript, at least, the comparison chart essentially useless. AngularJS isn't included? jQuery and Underscore and Backbone are comparable libraries?
All these media outlets make a point of saying that they have carefully redacted anything that may put people's lives in danger. I imagine that any site which published it raw would be taken down even in USA.
My friends getting called to testify and having to explain "what is the G.N.A.A.?" in federal court was pretty lulz-ridden, too.
Because the federal prosecutors don't get a promotion when someone is charged with a state crime.
The ICC-ID got them the email addresses. The email address is presumably a way of identifying another person.
Am I missing something? I don't see anything beyond C++11 in here.
MS and Sony (And Apple) themselves are one part tech companies building salable products, and one part patent trolls. Sum total, the existence of usurious IP laws are, by their management, perceived as at least as beneficial as it is onerous.

Those getting hurt by the trolling, are smaller, potentially innovative, companies without patent war chests. But their hurt is measured in all the things that did not come to market; hence remain unseen, unmarketed, unpaid for, and therefore unable to pay for representation in a political system such as ours.

What Apple wants (And MS and Sony), is to be able to troll others, including former employees, who set up on their own. While preventing others from doing the same to them. Or, even simply have that particular sword hang over anyone who might want to market a product in competition with them, as well as those guys' potential investors.
It also means that people will quit at a predictable moment, rather than in the middle of the christmas season. I think it is a very clever policy from Amazon at several levels.
By "tl;dr" I refer to the attitude that rejects reading something solely based on its length. That is not a good survival skill, any more than rejecting all but candy is a good survival skill in an age of calorie surplus.
murdering is too far outside the norm, in current American society. Paying patent troll is common place for corps. Take something like I don't know, polluting. When are you, or I or anyone going to stop polluting? When the realized benefits, out way the immediate costs.
Has anyone made any actual statements one way or the other on the possibility of re-prosecution in a different venue? I agree with your guess, but one never knows.
My understanding is that they were trying to try him according to specific laws passed in NJ that would classify his alleged actions as felonious. INAL but that seems to make a pretty substantial difference.
Hmmm, interesting. I just never considered that my responsibility. I'll think about doing that.

One problem with blocking bots is sometimes I really can't tell if they are bots. Bots often copy profile pictures, descriptions, and tweets from real users. Some real users tweet pretty cryptic stuff. And blocking feels like such a serious step; I wouldn't watch to risk false positives.
I do now! Thanks for makin me feel better =)
When you find yourself disagreeing with civil rights activists and high federal judges on the definition of a civil right, you should should probably just pick a new phrase for whatever it is that you're talking about, because nobody is going to understand you. I sure don't.

I think it's fine that some people want to keep to their particular cultural norm (although I will continue to dispute that those norms are really "traditional marriage" in any sense meaningful to US law or culture). People can want all sorts of things. But when they use the power of the state to discriminate against a group of people, that's where I have issues.

Stripping the term "marriage" from some people for reasons that don't meet the rational-basis test is a violation of their civil right to equal protection. If you don't agree, no point in telling me; it's the 6th and 9th federal circuits you have to convince.
That's an overly narrow view. We shouldn't avoid powerful features merely because power can cause problems.

Where would we be if web browsers couldn't use external resources?

General-purpose parsers/renderers need have tightly locked down, sensible defaults, or even security-oriented feature subsets, but that doesn't mean we should remove one of their most useful features altogether, or avoid them because they're powerful and dangerous.
I had a coworker who was stuck in limbo for a couple months due to this crap. His wife was not allowed to work due to this issue, and he wasn't allowed to work while some bureaucratic thing was being resolved. They were not allowed to leave the US for their home country, either, so they just had to live on savings for this period.
I like to refer to this as lawyers "pretending to fail"; See, they are being told by their superiors to press a position officially, but to cripple it technically so that it never survives appeal. This allows eventual remedy for the accused, in the form of appeal, while allowing the State actors to promote their high conviction rates for cyber criminals during/post-trial. The state's main interest in the publicity of the case is to send a message to the public that cyber crime is taken very seriously, with the aim of deterring future activities of a similar nature by copycats. Weev's case being vacated should garner far less attention than the arrest and trial. Everyone but the accused himself benefits from the case, regardless of outcome.

As the case is vacated, Weev could still be jailed, dependant on whether or not his legal representation files a motion in the lower court to release him; another classic case of "pretending to fail".

Well, I don't have sources on hand but I'm fairly certain that what you describe is not necessarily a Christian invention. Many of the stories I recall reading that pre-date Christianity have similar themes.
I 100% agree with you. I have had client after client be limited by their point of sale and I have just had enough. I just want a simple web based solution that is easy to deploy and plays nice with standard API's. Thanks for the motivation Luke.

Exactly this. There are many cheap (I mean cheap, not merely inexpensive) versions of "industrial" electronics on eBay. Most of them will probably work just fine in an office environment at room temperature. But put them in a factory where the temperature near the doors in winter can be below freezing and up near the roof in the middle of summer it's well over 100F, then your cheap eBay-purchased sequencing timer starts having hiccups, dumping hot asphalt on the floor.

Why the cliffhanger? Why not just finish your thought? As is, this story provides nothing other than showing the Amazon provided some helpful customer service.
Yea, but the state courts tend to show some deference to federal interpretation.
A lot of programming decisions were made to save a byte here and there. It's easy to point at them today and say they're "bad", but at the time they were the absolutely correct thing to do. It's hard to imagine now but not saving that byte could mean your program wouldn't fit into RAM. Try telling your management in the 1960s that your program won't load because it's "properly coded" and see how far you get.

What we've failed to do is ever revisit those decisions and change them where we've identified problems. Yes, you can probably compile (with warnings) files from UNIX v7, but we pay for that compatibility. But there's no question designing, building and maintaining a libc alternative is a colossal undertaking and not likely to happen on a whim. So here we are.
Thank you for clarifying this, it was a source of confusion for me as well.

Not to sound elitist, but what is $5k to a software engineer making 120k/year regardless of the cost of living in Seattle.

This makes more sense.
In very obvious cases, yes, people act like you've described. What this effect manipulates is the judgment of whether something was a bad decision in the first place. People can get disgruntled at a job that is objectively quite good, and can convince themselves that they're satisfied with a situation that's actually not that great.
To rephrase:

(1) My post was only to invite people to read the topic !

(2) People are invited to post their own thoughts

(3) I'm happy for people to have their own ideas

(4) There's no debate with me--I take no position here

(5) My only position is--some may find this of interest

(6) A summary: indicative of content, not an evaluation

Everyone has their own style of summary -- mine was merely to eliminate what might be loaded terms ('elite', 'pinko' etc) and focus more on subject-verb elements of the plot. And while there are many non-solvable problems in genral, the class of solvable problems normaly re-quires some form of either pre-conceptualization or accidental empirical discovery. The latter even then becomes the former once it is tested. But again, this is just my own experience.

Perhaps this is a good reason not to annotate HN posts! Something I try to avoid. But every now and then its good to signal some information lest people think a submission is trolling based on the title alone or unfamiliarity.

So it's good other people take interst in the subject.

[ps] I probably shouldn't have posted in direct response to your comment, as it was more a crystalized thought of my own that reading your notes had suggested. It was not posted to be a critique of your comment, although I could see how you might perceive it that way. (It would be unfair at that--as I didn't really respond to you on your terms).

Really HN, you down vote this fucking comment? Unbelievable.
You can't envisage a single scenario where you would steal? Or where it was the lesser evil?
Well, getting an SSL private key is difficult as they don't often get into memory and are quite long (difficult to get from 64k at a time). Whereas AWS credential keys are something that get into your servers RAM much more frequently and are shorter strings. So it could easily be remote memory exploitation. But more likely social engineering or some other easy path in.
If this is really the case, there is no excuse.
I don't understand immigration restrictions at all. If the US is afraid foreigners are coming to "take our jobs" and is concerned about its citizens well being, then why isn't it concerned with the fact that cheap foreign labor could save money to millions of americans while it currently doesn't, since immigration is restricted? Or if it is concerned that foreigners are going to use the social safety net without providing any value, how about not providing it to foreigners?

There's absolutely no grounds for restricting immigration. The US was built on immigrants and now somehow it is no longer a viable policy?
Who knew that people would be human, and so imperfect?
Automate it and charge $1.
Unless he was out on bail, or something, he was definitely allowed to leave. The US has no exit immigration.

(Being allowed to come back after leaving is a whole different thing, though, which is probably what you meant.)
"One problem I see is how to keep my idea mine while getting help from others?"

Generally, don't bother. Focus on executing fast and well. Otherwise, someone else who does focus on execution will have your idea before you're done and blow you out of the water - blow everyone else out instead, with whatever resources you can bring to bear.
I have to disagree. Something motivates you. If you're highly productive, something is motivating that. The question is what?
"so he downloaded the iPad operating system onto his computer, decrypted it, and browsed through the operating system’s code to try to find a way to register it."

This seems highly suspect and improbable to me. If he was so skilled to reverse engineer iOS and "decrypt it" (whatever that means), why would he need weev's help in writing the slurper??

More than likely, though, whoever wrote the document (I'm guessing a judge) doesn't really understand what happened, and that scares me a little.
The Shire, eh? I'm from one of those!

That was the beginning of government interference. Over time it started to be mandated that the broadcast networks had to have x percentage of "educational" value in their lineup of children's programs.

The results was the gradual removal of children's programming to the point that my cherished Saturday morning and after school cartoons disappeared.
I'm sure there's something to this, but it looks like hideous Chindōgu.
The Java pdf authoring library iText has a license provision that allows anyone except the Belgian Federal Government to use the library, due to an ongoing dispute over fiscal matters. I have no idea how enforceable that is, though.

The difference between Jeet and Foundation's grid are two things.

1. Jeet uses actual columns whereas with Foundation you need to nest elements within elements: http://imgur.com/a/OWyOQ

2. @include grid-column(4) isn't as "on-the-fly flexible" as Jeet since you have to define the base number of columns in Foundation whereas in Jeet you could just say @include column(4/12) or column (1/3) or column(33.333333/100), etc. - being able to say in natural language what you want your container to do is pretty powerful stuff.

Company Settles Charges of Using CCTV To Look at Woman's Breasts
> - That the 1.7 million college grads who are unemployed work in the same field as the H-1B workers. H-1B workers tend to commonly be in engineering / science / medecine / etc. Mostly Bachelors in Science degrees. The most common majors in the US are mostly BA degrees. You can't just plop those people into what they're not trained in.

I don't believe that a Bachelors degree necessarily limits your career options. Holding a four year degree basically means you are trainable, committed, and follow the rules. The ideal employee. I'm willing to disagree on this point.

> - That the 1.7 million college grads who are unemployed are unemployed because of H1B workers, and that if those workers weren't there, the unemployed college grads would be employed.

I made no such statement.

> - That any worker can be anywhere at any time. If a company is in North Dakota and needs a programmer, it doesn't matter that there are 1000 unemployed American programmers in New York.

This comment makes no sense when we are talking about foreign workers who have to cross continents and oceans to get to North Dakota

> - That when someone graduates, they're able to perform their profession up to the standard required. That they are "good". This should be laughable if you've ever been to any college short of the top 30. 1.7 million graduates don't mean 1.7 million desirable employees.

I think you are just repeating your first point here. I'd be willing to bet 90% of H1Bs don't hold degrees from the top 30, or whatever arbitrary cutoff you have. I'm not interested in pedigree. 1.7 million graduates should certainly be 1.7 million desirable employees (or at least 650k), and if it isn't, then it sounds like we found the root cause.

> Unemployment sure is a huge problem, but I think you might be barking up the wrong tree here if you're looking for a cause. Getting rid of the H-1B is not going to help much, from what I can tell.

I never once suggested that H1B is the cause of unemployment.
The groups at Apple who engage in patent lawsuits, are highly unlikely to be "practicing" much other than patent litigation. Similarly, if IV started selling statues of Nathan Myhrwold on the web as a new line of business, and hence laying claim to be a "practicing" entity; they would still be trolls.

That's fair, but it only applies to miners, not speculators who bought their coins.

Also - does this apply retroactively to coins mined years ago? I.e. Does satoshi now owe millions of dollars in taxes?
A quote from the opinion mentioned in another comment:

Personally I think that everyone who ever has a conviction overturned should be compensated for all time lost and costs incurred.

Not because the state would be dissuaded from pushing edge-cases but because we, the people, have robbed someone of part of their life. We should make it right.

A point I made above, but I don't really think a 4 year degree decides your future, it just shows you are trainable and can commit to something. I've worked with plenty of water walker software developers that didn't have a CS degree to know this is true.

> I work alongside many H1B people. They are all highly competent.

I work along side a lot of H1B people. They are all kind, smart, and competent. But they are people, there is nothing special about them, which was the whole point of the H1B program.
Actually this is what happened to us... our AWS credentials had accidentally been put into Github for a hackathon project several months ago.

Coincidentally, the incident also occurred around the same time (April 1-2). We were hit with $13,000 worth of EC2 usage before we shut them down and changed our AWS key... We reported to Amazon, and they are working on a refund.

On a somewhat pedantic tangent, "immigration", by definition, is inbound. The outbound equivalent is "emigration".
Perhaps the folks wanting to sell such reactors feel that way because they honestly believe that it's a superior alternative?

One of the various crimes that the media tried to tie to D&D was the murder of Lieth Von Stein. It became the subject of a few books and made-for-TV movies. Basically the guy's stepson and friends murdered him for insurance money/inheritance, and although they were really into D&D, the real vector (other than greed and malice) was LSD and coke.

One of the books about the case is called Cruel Doubt[1] and in 1997, I listened to the audio book in a road trip with my parents (I was like 14). It's a really well-done book (skip the made-for-TV movie starring Blythe Danner and a 16-year old Gwyneth Paltrow), but it focused a lot on the D&D controversy, because that was so much a part of the D&D narrative.

Anyway, I share all this because a) the book is really good (I got the Kindle version a few years ago and re-read it for the first time in 15 years) and b), my own mother still harbors negative feelings about D&D because of how the book explained the controversy and the supposed associations between the game and the murder.

She'd missed the whole brouhaha in the 1980s, because she had two daughters and the only one who could ever be interested in D&D (me) was born in the early 80s, and thus a toddler during most of the media maelstrom.

Yet the narrative of that book (which again, really isn't against D&D and doesn't make it out to be a catalyst for the murder, beyond sharing the real fact that yes, the murderers did lots of LSD and played D&D all day instead of going to work or school), was enough for my mom to give me a lecture at 17 when I happened to go hang out with my then-boyfriend and his college friends who happened to be playing a tabletop game.

Anyway. This comment adds nothing to the discussion, I just wanted to plug Cruel Doubt because it's a really good true crime book. And I associate it with helping corrupt my otherwise intelligent mother into believing a game was the product of the devil and evil. Don't worry, I set her straight.
