As a background consideration, keep in mind that we're talking about the search of a house, which is the absolute heart of the 4th amendment.

Warrantless entry and search of a house is considered per se unreasonable under the 4th amendment. There are a few narrow exceptions. First, a warrant is not required when the sole occupant of the house consents.[1] However, in a situation like this one where the defendant is present, his objection is enough to render the entry unlawful, even if the other person consents.[2]

Second, even if there is no consent, there are a few narrow exceptions the police can use. One of those is when "exigent circumstances" require the police to enter to prevent bodily harm or the destruction of evidence. But even in such cases, the acceptable scope of a warrantless search is limited by the circumstances that give rise to the exigency.[3]

So in this case, the girlfriend called the police saying he was threatening to kill her, which would justify, under the exigent circumstances exception, their entry onto the property. However, that did not authorize them to conduct a search of the house for evidence of domestic violence. The scope of their entry and search should have been limited to the exigent circumstance that justified the warrentless entry: ensuring her immediate safety. The police raised "possible destruction of evidence" as a reason for the search, but they had no reason to believe, until they searched, that there was evidence to preserve. The exigent circumstances that justified the entry was securing the safety of the girlfriend. Once they entered, they cannot shift their theory and say the exigent circumstance is preventing the destruction of evidence.

As for drugs, it depends. One of the other exceptions to the 4th amendment is that police are entitled to seize evidence in "plain view" during an otherwise lawful entry.[4] Had there been drugs strewn around the house, they would have been admissible. However, the video evidence was not in plain view. They had to go looking for it. If the police have to go looking for it, then that evidence is not admissible. That is true even when the evidence is drugs.

"Are you going to purposely malnourish people so that you can see they're malnourished? That's ethically dubious at best."

Yes, that's what Soylent is currently doing. No suprise the founder got bad news from his cardiologist with an earlier version. "Failing" with their product in this case actually means hurting the customers.
The mission was to launch the satellite they were being paid to launch. Recovery of the rocket was a test they were running on the side. The mission justifiably got priority.

Well since you mentioned long lines let me plug my own, because I find it a genuinely elegant solution to one related problem: http://github.com/goldfeld/vim-seek, it's a motion I created mostly to move around long lines, which were a major pain point for me especially when writing prose (and even more acutely painful back when I used soft-wrapped lines, though I still get a lot of mileage from it while using hard-wrap at 80 columns, RMS/Linus-style.)

Just noticed this reply, possibly the most eloquent way anyone has ever told me that they think I'm a moron. Yes, I've read Worse is Better. No, I don't think that the Unix philosophy is always the right one. I was 100% serious, though, no satire. On the contrary, I'm the one having a hard time believing the things people complained about in this thread. I mean, seriously? Make a new playlist and drag and drop the song into it vs. right click the song and hit "add to queue." I simply cannot believe that this is the kind of thing that would be a deal breaker for someone. If I may be so trite, it is a "first world problem" if ever there was one. "This program is perfect except for one minor detail; I don't care if there's a baby in it, this bathwater needs to be gone yesterday."

One thing we might be able to agree on is the value of providing simple building blocks and a powerful but easy to use scripting interface. I think we could both learn to love the child of emacs and foobar, that would let you happily do whatever silly things you want to do with your queues while I remain none the wiser.

In closing, to echo your passive aggressive tone, have heard this quote by Alan J. Perlis? "It is better to have 100 functions operate on one data structure than 10 functions on 10 data structures." Perhaps the same could be said about programs that expose many different and separate interfaces for fundamentally similar problems.

Rhinehart is an engineer by background, and his blog posts ( http://www.robrhinehart.com ) evince a serious respect for the scientific method. Now that version 1.0 has been finalized and is shipping, I think we will definitely see a lot more testing of Soylent from both inside and outside the organization.
Well Mashable said that the Coast Guard refused to go out. So it was probably wavy slightly above it is awesome for surfing.
It's certainly possible that they have a level of wave action that they can handle, and this landing's wave conditions exceeded that. I'd imagine it's hard to predict what the ocean will be like far enough in advance to design a rocket from the ground up to support heavier wave action. They were on NASA's timeline for the launch, not their own.

Wow. I bought the book on the used market after reading about it -- I think here on HN, in fact. Probably the most expensive book I've bought so far!

They're selling prints on their website, and I'd love to get one, but they're charging 200 (two oh oh) GBP for a medium sized print which is preposterous, or in any event way out of my comfort zone. Too bad.

It's an interesting exercise in brute-forcing a hash, but the question is just one questionable premise after another.
I only expressed it implicitly above, but I am making a judgement about what is better. I would absolutely prefer it if people did not casually direct the internet ray-beam at people that are not interested in its attention. At the same time, I would like those other people to be able to use the internet without paying intense attention to the consequences of each action they take.

If that makes me some sort of stodgy conservative that has been shaped by the past, so be it.
I might be naive, but I don't think his only motivation for revolutionizing space flight is money. He's trying to fix humanity's approach to exploring space, and part of that is introducing competitive pressure.

That's interesting, do you have a strong end vision that you're aiming for? What I've found for myself is that short-term excitement from a cool project or technology or team I'm working on eventually fades, and is not a substitute for long-term passion.

For me, I'm trying to change consumerism...it's a hell of a BHAG, but by pursuing this vision that I genuinely care about, I may have short-term periods of exhaustion instead of excitement, but I'm guaranteeing longer-term reserves of motivation.

Space programs should probably not be the first to sanction in such situations. I doubt Putin would be too hurt about it anyway. If there are sanctions, they should be on other markets first.

When we'll be a "space race", I doubt it will matter much whether those sent into space are Americans, or Russians or Chinese or Germans.

Not many people know that he initially (pre-SpaceX) tried to buy a couple decommissioned ICBMs to send a plant to Mars. He was ready to write the check, and the Russians spiked the price at the last minute.

So he's probably got a grudge or two.

While I agree that it is definitely best to use domestic launchers and not have to rely on the Russians for engines or astronaut launch, I don't think that "Fuck the Russians" is really a great expression of that. Since Apollo-Soyuz, spaceflight has been something that our two countries can productively collaborate on, despite our (at times, vast) political differences.

Maintaining good relations between NASA and the RKA is valuable for everybody. SpaceX/RKA relations are less important however.

I‘m also fascinated by Kowloon Walled City since the first time I saw it in the Dreamcast game Shenmue 2.

One of the best documentaries IMHO is the following 4 part series from 1989 which shows the everyday life in KWC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lby9P3ms11w

I also recommend the already mentioned book City of Darkness and movie Chungking Express. Additional Jackie Pullinger‘s books "Crack In The Wall: Life & Death in Kowloon Walled City" (http://amzn.to/1nNKkuq) and "Chasing the Dragon" (http://amzn.to/1kd9zWc) are worth a read.
Pretty cool. Signed up and figured out how to start using it right away, which is in and of itself a great thing.

1. When creating a trace, how do you specify when you're finished?

2. Is there a way to set a single trace to run on all browsers?

3. How do you specify what constitutes a "success" vs. a "fail" for any given trace?
Eating Alone by Design: An Entire Restaurant With Tables for One
Is it SpaceX's intention at some point to forgo the launch tower and launch directly off of the landing legs grasshopper style? I realize it's not really necessary, but it might make it easier to get a rocket off of Mars instead of having to build a tower. Although, presumably if you can refine rocket fuel on Mars, maybe building a launch tower is no big deal.

Anyways, kudos again to Musk and SpaceX.
Good to see the word is spreading about HSTS. EFF started pushing it earlier this month [1], with a perhaps fair claim that it's not widely known about by web developers.

As the article shows it's pretty straightforward to setup; if you can add a response header to your app then you'll be able to figure out how to harden your app with HSTS.

For my fellow web developers who like to learn by video, I've tried to make an easily digested screencast and a page of sketch notes to help get the word out about HSTS and explain what it protects against [2].

OMG came here to post it. Not only the fact that I find so much unfinished/broken/hard, but anything short of a simple spreadsheet displayed on the web seems intensely difficult and just unusable.

This is made worse by the fact that my MS-loving boss has bought into it completely and I was given the impossible task to make it work as a CMS for our websites. I felt so bad for every group we made sites for when asking if we could change how something looked/worked, because without lots of programming (outside my skill level), nope not really possible.

Pretty sure I will be leaving this job within the year despite how nice everyone is partly due to me being the one who gets stuck supporting this POS and I'm not a developer.
"You" being a hypothetical local network provider (potentially comcast, but more relevantly a small startup)

The impact being video streams from netflix/youtube killing your network. A better example is probably a rural WISP; huge bandwidth from tower to the 300-500 max users, but limited backhaul from the tower to your hundreds of miles away central location.

On 2), if you don't offer colocation to third parties, but only to your content partners, that works well IFF you can incent your end users to hit those servers preferentially. If that means offering iptv from them for $20/mo which doesn't come out of your bandwidth cap, and having a 200 GB/mo cap for other traffic, that is a win for everyone except netflix. If you aren't allowed to say "iptv from our servers is cap-free, everything else is capped", users hitting Netflix will continue to saturate the backhaul and no one will use the local media server iptv.

(I'm not necessarily saying net neutrality is a bad idea (or a good idea), but that there are specific user-beneficial cases which net neutrality hurts. I'm concerned that Comcast basically can rape everyone today with the laws that are in place, and is entirely likely to use net neutrality laws to do so as well -- they're a perfect example of an incumbent being so big that regulations just serve to entrench them. Competition is the answer, and net neutrality in some ways helps competition among pure-IP cloud-delivered services, but hurts competition among access providers.)
A lot of people in here comment on how this is not tghat big. I have a netflix sub, and every time I visit my parents, they want to watch it, and use it. They don't use it when I'm not there because they can't figure it out. It's an app on a new TV, and is literally 2 or 3 button clicks away. If netflix was channel 500 or something on our TV box they would happily pay for it.remember that not everyone is as technically inclined as we are.
> we don't have the knowledge to create food

Better stop eating then, since any plants or animals you might ingest have been bred by humans over thousands of years. Knowledge of our nutritional needs--this knowledge that we allegedly "don't have"--has completely transformed them.

> any skepticism about long-term effects is well-warranted given the history of the processed food industry

The whole point of Soylent (the creators have basically stated as much) is to take the tools of "processed food" and use them for good, not evil. Seriously, Soylent is not McDonald's. The Atlantic explored this idea in a recent article: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2013/07/how-junk...
If I had to roll my own crypto, and god help me if I had too. puts on tin foil hat

I'd store the clear text passwords encrypted with AES-256 CBC mode (still works right?). Next their would 3 databases, on 3 separate servers (hopefully physical ones). Server 1 passwords + salt, server 2 key 1, server 3 key 2. bcrypt(Diffe-hellman(key1,key2), salt) = AES standard key.

Basically I wouldn't. I couldn't sleep good at night storing financial data.
All Atlas V first-stage engines (RD-180) are manufactured in Russia. That the second stage engines are made in the US doesn't change the fact that you're dependent on Russian supply.

In response to your edits:

>but they can't get more flights because of their record

The Air Force required 3 successful flights in the exact configuration the Air Force would fly. SpaceX provided the "record" as stipulated by the Air Force, which nevertheless committed to a large block-buy contract with ULA. By the Air Force's own standards, the billion-dollar subsidy is not necessary for their needs-to-get-to-space payloads.

Also, "the other companies" is just a single supplier, ULA.

The project lost a lot of momentum after Google acquired the developers working on Etherpad. I think the original codebase got forked as the Etherpad Lite project that is still being developed.
I agree - it actually just points the user to the fact they need a password manager.

I don't use a password manager, because for the most part, I feel as if it is already too late. I have registered for probably 100's of websites, most of which I used once (or a long time ago) and since have not accessed.

I think the value might be for users to tie up "loose ends" ie webservices that have your info, you don't know you are registered there, and maybe...don't want to be registered there anymore.

>Judging by the lack of competition, it seems it's not profitable to compete.

Nobody is allowed to compete. No company will be afforded the same benefits given to the first cable company that actually layed the physical infrastructure. Local governments give all kinds of benefits to the first company to bring in cable. They won't for the second. They will see it as wasteful duplication of infrastructure.

Companies should not be granted monopolies on the last mile lines that they were granted all kinds of exceptions for. Telephone companies seem to get by without it, why are we tolerating it for cable companies, especially when they are competing with services offered online?
I have been using Jquery promises with good enough success. And the chaining makes the code synchronous to read.

We probably should abstain for a while to change the JS language - it is quite messy as it is. Undescore is awesome example how you can extend the language with small amounts of code.
