Is it true that the government doesn't allow them to operate? My understanding is that, if these companies were to operate within China's laws and regulations, particularly as they relate to censorship of user-generated content, they would be allowed to operate.

Sina (a 'Chinese' internet company) was recently the target of regulatory action (suspension of a key licence) because they fell foul of those censorship laws. Action isn't targeted solely at non-Chinese companies. However, non-Chinese companies are less likely to want to comply (either due to the cost/complexity of doing so, or because to do so would be at odds with their core mission).

As an example of a company with a different approach, look at LinkedIn, which recently launched a Chinese interface to target mainland Chinese users.
I can remember (mid-90s) when we thought it was downright scandalous that one of our friends had on his website something to the effect of "About: My name is John Doe and I live at 123 Sesame St. Anytown, AL 00000. If you'd like to send me a letter, I'll respond. If you'd like to stalk me... that information was already available to you."
They still exist?

Are you suggesting all law enforcement agencies should notify a person or group prior to commencing an investigation? How amusing would it be if a detective turned up at your door and said "Oh hai! We'll be parked across the street in an unmarked vehicle for a few days while we observe your suspected illegal activities."

People have the right to Habeas corpus, they shouldn't necessarily have the right to know they are under investigation. In my opinion.

That blog post is basically explaining untyped Lambda Calculus and Church Numerals with the ruby lambda syntax. If you liked that you maybe interested in the real thing. The best introduction I know is a really great book on Type Theory called: "Types and Programming Languages." It is great because after Lambda Calculus the author shows how to build really useful programming languages and type systems using the lambda calculus formalism. Definitely a must read if you are interested in understanding the underpinning of modern type systems.

will install Windows 7 and see what it does/doesn't do.
Then I will install from the Microsoft BizSpark program

I hope to keep running XP on my present computer at least until my startup is live. Then, with some Windows 7 experience, I may install Windows 7 on my present computer -- I have three

While I'm all for SpaceX advancing the industry, I'm curious what exactly was illegal/wrong about the Lockheed/Boeing deal to buy rockets from Russia?
I like how they said that buying Russian rockets will ensure US to secure its space program growth and future. Like buying Russian technology today when US is putting more sanctions on them is what they call "secure".
If you have player building rockets of similar price point and giving jobs to US people why anyone would go and buy foreign rockets anyway?

Pretty much.

Also, I missed a reusability scenario with Falcon Heavy. You use crossfeed, you return the outer 2 first stage cores, and you dump everything else. This is more expensive than reusing all 3 1st stage cores, of course, but it provides a considerably amount of payload for the cost of essentially an expendable F9 plus the use of the reusable boosters. So you'd get very heavy lift capacity (I dunno, maybe 30+ tonnes to LEO) at well under $100 million, which in the current launch market is a crazy price.
Are you intentionally making grammatical and word/spelling errors here to make a point? I find it quite distracting.
You're kinda all over the place with your question. I disagree with the idea that you can form any assumptions about what is happening broadly in the tech community based on frequency of certain types of posts appearing on HN, reddit, etc. After all there are many well funded organizations out there with their own agendas who post stuff regularly to try to influence certain demographics, and the tech sector is a particularly high value target I would imagine.

The way I read it there are two separate issues. One is the fact that the launch contract wasn't competed. The other is that the US decided to put sanctions on Russia over Ukraine and those sanctions cover entities that have an interest in the Russian company these engine components are being bought from by the American companies. The court is basically saying that by buying that engine part from the Russian company that might violate the economic sanctions. Sounds like the injunction is only preliminary.

Then you've got some congress people who realize this is a PR nightmare so they proposed a new spending program to develop a new rocket engine that doesn't depend on Russia. I'm guessing Boeing and Lockheed would be the recipients of that largess.

I'm with you that Spring has ALOT of parts. At my company they allowed us to use some parts of Spring and not others. Our stack was Spring MVC, with Apache Tiles, serving JSPs with some JQuery in there all wrapped up with Spring Security. It was much better than what we had before, JSF and ICEFaces and ADF. JSF frustrates me to no end.

Now we're moving towards a more modern stack. Using Jersey for REST is nice. It does make me enjoy Java again. You annotate resources in a Spring-like way, security was easy to implement. On the front-end we use a client side JavaScript Framework, JMVC (CanJS, EJS, etc). JMVC doesn't have as much traction as other frameworks, like Angular or Ember, but it is stable and covers what we need.

But when I go home, I try to stay away from Java. It's mostly Python (Flask, Tornado, Twisted) or lately some Node (Express) on the backend and Ember on the front. It's psychological. I program at work for work and at home to have fun. For me it just feels easier and more fun to stream code in Python.
I'm using Dropwizard and it was easy enough for me - former .NET developer to get things done quickly. That said if I was starting today long term project I would go with Dartlang (yes they'are server side as well)
Isn't the only difference between a finite-state machine and a Turing machine whether the memory is finite or not? Then you could argue that nothing has ever been made that is Turing complete because everything can be simulated by a finite-state machine because of memory limitations.
That is interesting, if that is the case. Bc to me, if so, then really the headline is misleading bc SpaceX didn't really 'win' anything bc the purchase would never have gone through anyways, injunction or not.

Out of my own curiosity, was there a bit in this article that led you to that conclusion or had you been reading about this subject?
The Atlas V rocket built by the United Launch Alliance (ULA), which was scheduled to be the rocket to launch the majority of missions for this USAF contract is build using Rocket Engines bought from NPO Energomash part of the Russian Space Agency, specifically led by Dmitry Rogozin, the deputy prime minister of Russia.

Obama issued an executive order sanctioning Dmitry Rogozin and any organization he is involved with. Given that ULA were buying rocket engines from an organization that Dmitry Rogozin is involved with, they would be breaching the executive order by doing so.

Now this doesn't the contact has been stopped yet, as ULA have stated that they already have a 2 year stock of the engines and the injunction doesn't stop any sale pre-injunction. But if no other rulings come up as to why the contract should be stopped, they will still need to figure out a way to fulfill the launches that they do not have engine stock for.

Very cool post. Here's a link to his book, "The Art of doing Science and Engineering": http://worrydream.com/refs/Hamming-TheArtOfDoingScienceAndEn...
Thank you very much for the very thoughtful reply and gives a bunch of color (also alluded to by 'pmorici').

So, would you say that the injunction would have been granted had the sanctions not in place? Or was this purely a result of the sanctions?
Yes. People kill people. But people don't kill other people with bare hands. May be they do but it would be such a minute fraction that it is not worth talking about. So given that people do need weapons to kill other people which weapon is more destructive given the current statistics. Right now there are about 30000+ gun deaths in USA. Of that about ~18000 are homicides. Which other weapon can cause so many deaths? If we allowed people to carry grenades, C4, tanks, or even nuclear weapons on a regular basis we would see lot more people getting killed. But we don't allow that. Given this scenario allowing free availability of guns is what is causing these many deaths. This is borne out by statistics from other countries which ban such free availability and use of guns. So yes people kill people. But it wont be so easy to kill so many people if guns are restricted to law enforcement officials.
No, not xcopy. By the time you run xcopy, Windows has already booted. It's too late.

My suggestion was to use the 'dd' Unix command (outside of Windows, of course) to back up the raw 0s and 1s on the disk, so that it doesn't matter what kind of OS you have or what kind of paritions you have. It's a very powerful method that lets you make a verbatim copy of every single bit on the hard drive, but of course that also makes it easier to fuck up something.
Oracle was offering licensing for "real Java" at around $1 per device. This was too high for Google that wanted to make it entirely free. Kind of silly, since Android hardware manufacturers pay much more than that to Microsoft in patent licenses.

Hmmm... Let's try on a different quote for size:

"... companies grew determined to show that they prized
their relationship with their product more than their
relationships with paying customers, such as advertisers,
as well as other non-paying, but similarly coercive
entities, such as law enforcement organizations"

Yeah... I'm not sure how I feel about that version... It kind of makes me want to crawl in a hole and die.
I don't think that person understands how it works at all.
The suit that SpaceX filed with the courts was not asking for the contract to be awarded to them, it was asking for the contract to be competed on, as originally required by Congress. They have repeatedly said that they just want an even competition. Now if there is a fair competition and they lose and it goes to ULA, that is fine, as long as there is fair competition.

The other part of the filing was that they were asking for an injunction on the grounds that they believed that the ULA rocket shouldn't be allowed due to it using Russian parts that are under sanction due to executive orders. Under this part they did 'win' the injunction as this is one of the things they asked for. Therefore the headline is not misleading.
I can see where it looks that way, but I don't think the effects are like that in practice. From the Wikipedia page, it appears that the career effects of this for the pilots involved were fairly minor, given the mitigating circumstances.
Intel's documentation calls it a "Page-Fault Exception". See Section 4.7 here: http://www.intel.com/Assets/en_US/PDF/manual/253668.pdf

I'd say your original statement is correct, and that the term "page fault" is overloaded. It can be used for both the TLB miss handler and also for loading swapped out data from disk. It's up to context to make it clear.

Define "we". How many people are demanding Facebook change? What percentage of their userbase, and what percentage of their income? How much will Facebook stock decrease if they say "no"? The answer is none, as evidenced by the fact that this is the status quo.

Rogozin tweeted a couple of days ago that US astronauts should go to space on a trampoline.

India's EVMs are Vulnerable to Fraud
The government doesn't acknowledge that the services are actually blocked in China. If you ask your ISP why Facebook isn't available, they'll tell you "it must be Facebook's fault." The government hasn't declared them illegal, so understanding how to make them "legal" is quite impossible.

The government selectively cracksdown on Internet companies when it wants to make a point, and turns blind eyes on others, arbitrarily, porn is quite common in the China market and very available...and even necessary for these companies to make a profit. They just choose one to slap on the wrists occasionally to make sure they don't get out of control.

In contrast, you'll find less porn on Facebook, G+, and YouTube then you will on RenRen, YouKu, Sina, and so on. Heck, WeChat is well known as the hookup app (so my wife won't let me go near it). But then this is similar to how prostitution is ubiquitous in the PRC vs. how it is very much underground in the US.

How would a legalistic American company operate in such an environment? China is not yet very much governed by rule of (impartial, fairly applied) law, so it is just impossible to do much without being able to live in the grayness (as most Chinese internet companies are able to do!).

I would advise against interrupt-based syscalls in for x86 platforms in linux... a lot of optimization work has been done for x86-32 via vDSO (and, afaik, x86-64 interrupt-based syscalls are just there for compatibility reasons, but I've been wrong before)

For linux x86-64 syscalls, proper way is to use "syscall" instruction. For linux x86-32 stuff, best way is to make a call via vDSO with "call $gs:0x10" (hopefully i didn't butcher AT&T syntax) so the kernel can dictate (via the vDSO) the best way to actually get you to the point of performing the syscall.

and, to your point, I recommend that anyone disassemble their code compiled with libc (and look at the differences between linux, os x, bsd, whatever)... it gets really interesting how much is added and how each OS handles it.
The full text of the order can be found here: http://media1.s-nbcnews.com/i/MSNBC/Sections/NEWS/z-pdf-arch....

Note the courts dealing with SpaceX's filing is not complete, this is just an initial injunction based on one particular part of the filing.

This injunction was particularly because it was in breach of the sanctions placed on Deputy Prime Minister Rogozin, and would not have been ordered otherwise.
You're not the only one. I wouldn't categorize my current place of employment as "enterprise", but it sucks not being able to design to your full potential. It's an agency, so you can't give the client the best you can do unless they're willing & able to pay for that (and many aren't).

I'd recommend doing as many side projects as you can. I know it can be hard to find the time (I have a one year old son so I'm familiar with the struggle) but if you can put something together over a few nights/weekends, and really design the hell out of it, it'll make stomaching your day-job constraints much easier. Just remember the Sex and Cash theory: http://gapingvoid.com/?s=sex+and+cash+theory What you do at work is strictly to pay the bills. If you happen to enjoy it sometimes, great; but remember that what really matters is what happens outside of that.

Another example: I used to flip burgers, but I enjoy cooking at home. I wasn't ashamed of the nasty food I pumped out of that fast-food kitchen, because I knew it wasn't a representation of my cooking abilities, it was just what I did to pay the bills. Apply the same thinking to your situation.

If Java forced you to handle the exception that would be convincing, but it doesn't. It merely says, if you don't want to handle it, add to your signature that you throw an exception so that at least someone upstream has a chance to know that the error might occur. I'm not arguing at all btw that the way Java does it is good. Merely that there's a case for checked exceptions, especially if you are actually trying to write "reliable" software.
