Demolished might be a strong word. It's raised ≈50% more than what was expected but compared to Kickstarter baselines that's not super unusual. As an example, I kicked in a bit for this wallet (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/supr/slim-the-thinnest-...) that had a $10K target and raised $200K, that could potentially be described as demolishing the target.

> If someone makes a spurious allegation against you then I think you should defend yourself as much as possible

1. Defending yourself makes you look guilty.

2. Defending yourself can provide legal ammunition to the opposition.

3. If it's not a legal matter, defending yourself can provide the opposition with words to manipulate to make you look even worse.

4. If they're already making spurious allegations against you, your replies will just prompt them to make more spurious allegations, much of which you may not be able to disprove. Their process of continually coming up with "new information", even if it's fake, will seem genuine to outsiders (due to cognitive bias). Responding just gives them new avenues to attack.

5. If you do defend yourself, it has to be in the form of an attack on the opposition, to discredit them. They can continue to come up with new claims all day which will just make people believe them more. You have to make it so people don't buy anything they say.

6. Besides the tactics of one-on-one mud-slinging, multiple parties provides greater weight to claims or concerns. Even if you have proof that someone is wrong, if they have 5 people all claiming the same thing, the crowd will believe them over you.

7. If this involves some kind of tight-knit in-group or community, you have to completely discredit your opposition for anyone to give a crap what you say.

The biggest problem with defending yourself is that you think the truth will win out, or the truth will come out in the end. It doesn't. The most convincing tactics win out. Lies are a lot easier weapons to use than the truth, and a lot more effective. And all of this also becomes a lot more difficult depending on the circumstances of the claims. Nobody will care if you're right if it looks like you might be wrong.
Pakistan?! Ouch. Seriously, I would do nothing at all in your case, even if it ends up hurting you financially (and at the very least, work through the situation with a lawyer).

My ideal position would blend technical with marketing / branding, which means working on things like split testing, user experience, and the more client side of development.
Replying to minikites here:

your link says:
"For many kinds of equipment (with automotive engines being the prime example), the time it takes to complete break-in procedures has decreased significantly from a number of days to a few hours, for several reasons."

So the break-in period has gotten smaller, but certainly isn't gone. Also many/most modern car/motorcycle manufacturers still have break-in periods specified lasting hundreds or thousands of miles.

Yeah, but to get the full effect you need gold plated optical leads from Monster.
Yeah, that guy's site reminds me of the site which was set up for the heartbleed vulnerability. Heartbleed probably justified its own site since it was such a big deal. I'm not sure this qualifies. Maybe people are starting to think that they can call attention to known weaknesses with a dedicated site and get some cred. As you said, kind of a marketing tactic.
Someone else posted the article link a few days ago on HN, but it went like so:

Elon: I'm here for 3 ICBMs. The price is $21 million, correct?

Russians: No, the price is now $21 million for 1 ICBM. You don't have that kind of money? You can't play with the big boys.

Elon: on the plane ride home How hard can it be to build a rocket?

The Russians also had a salvage tug off the Space Coast leading up to the CR3 resupply mission (it was the most powerful salvage tug in the world at its commissioning). Take that for what its worth.

JavaScript’s this: how it works, where it can trip you up
> Your site did not create the redirect URI that is being passed to Google / Twitter in your example.

Sorry, I don't understand this sentence.

The redirect URI is not normally passed to Google / FB / Instagram dynamically, but normally registered with Google / FB / Instagram once, when you set up an app with them (and get a secret key etc).

If someone else registered their own app with their own redirector, they wouldn't have my secret key.

Edit: removed Twitter, they use oAuth 1 which is strange / different / weird.

> but it's not just evaluating your headphones, but also your DAC, amplifier (both of which are typically crap in most computers), and your own hearing limits.

That's a good thing though. I want to know which headphones or speakers work best with my equipment in my normal conditions with my hearing. I don't care which ones are "the best". I want "the best for me".
I was kind of surprised at that as well. Then I noticed it was the same few people who seem to be very upset. It isn't too unreasonable for a vocal minority to waste their time on something like that.

Namespaces people. Please respect them.

Webhook is a thing that people google for information about all the time, and these jerks have just made finding information about webhooks, especially for any other CMS, twice as hard.

Stop shitting in the internet tech namespace commons and spend another five minutes naming your things.

Here's a handy rule, if you aren't 100% confident your project will be in the top 5 google results for your exact name search within two weeks of launch, you're probably shitting in the commons and should find another name.
‘Solar’ jet fuel made out of air
Seems like the article is wrestling with the semantics of "active user" and wants to focus on counting passive users instead. Either way, the audience size is the audience size, and growth generally means growth in audience size.
> The test was: "is there evidence for headphone output changing over time"

And the test was positive, given the test parameters. The author didn't want to extrapolate beyond that (I attribute that to the author's own biases against break-in: "I rarely hear break-in", "voodoo" when referring to break-in), which is their prerogative.

Not to mention that by their very criteria, "all I'm looking for here is a clear trend where the data changes smoothly from the start to the end reference", it did happen.

However, theirs is not the only test out there which shows differences over time. In my limited googling, the consensus seems to be "headphones do break in, even if the effects are limited".
I'm even more surprised by all the anti-Snowden comments here on HN.
Each house of Congress has inherent contempt powers and can jail people, in the Capitol if necessary. They haven't exercised that power since 1934, these days they refer contemptors to the US Attorney for the District of Columbia. The older power still remains though and is on very firm Constitutional grounds (though for a cabinet official there are issues of executive privilege).

More generally it's hard to take Congressional complaints of executive overreaching seriously when Congress refuses to utilize any of the many tools at its disposal.
I think this is even covered in the spec.

I've been running an (ancient) T420S with Manjaro for quite a while. Never had an issue.

I for one feel he should not be punished under whistleblower laws, but I would be open to a proper trial. I would like to see that discussion in open court, not a secret tribunal where the outcome is only reported by the government doing the prosecution.

Which is why I think he should not return to face trial, because I think there's no way he'll ever get a fair and open trial in the US.

Unnecessarily defensive. Was there something, anything, in my comment that is incorrect? Are you actually a contract/IP lawyer? Note that I'm not saying that you are wrong, because honestly I don't know. Because I'm not a lawyer, and I don't know all of the specifics of this case. But am I wrong in what I said about the authority of the post?

This is why people preface things with IANAL.

People often petition to the public (Tesla quite recently) in such cases -- regardless of pending lawsuits -- because the damage in perception can be larger than any possible legal damage. And stating simple facts of truth (such as "I copied 0 lines of code") seems doubtful to aggravate anything if they are truthful. So there are separate issues of IP: Great, but they are neither worsened or relieved by a statement about code, are they?

I did like this. There is a certain elegance[1] to diagram based descriptions of mathematical/physical concepts.

Another that is maybe more similar in that it removes a lot of dummy variables(indices in this case) is the Penrose graphical notation[2] for tensors. I have actually never calculated anything using these diagrams so I don't know how practical they are.

As pointed out by modoc below, your link identifies exactly why break-in is still required for motors. That section lays out that break-in procedures have changed over time, but break-in is still required.
You don't have to stand there and take it, but sometimes it is better if you do. You don't know that he wouldn't be around right now. I happen to think that he would still be around, but certainly his life would be more difficult. But I also think he'd be more "popular".
In cases of whistle blowing, which this is purporting to be, evidence is one of the most important things that you can gather and report on. Yet we have literally none from the OP.

What we have instead is a compelling story written anonymously, but for which there is no supporting evidence provided. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, yet there is none.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7668230 brings up the most important point to this entire thread, which is that the premise under which the OP claims that Google steals money from people through cancellation falls on its face when you look at the economics of a cancellation. It's just not economically viable for Google to do that - it's like eating your leg because you're hungry. And of all the things that Google is, it's not stupid.

I'm not sure I follow your comment. How do you see DNSSEC as signing anything over to the government? The point of DNSSEC was/is solely to prevent cache poisoning by "chaining" answers from root to auth with signatures. It only proves the answer provided is correct by DNS means. It does not attempt to guarantee authenticity of a destination.
Also, DNSSEC supports multiple algorithms, including ECDSA, though RSA is the most widely used at the moment.
Is it perfect? Of course not. But it's out there now, and it works for what it was designed for.
No, you do pass the URI dynamically, it's a required part of the Access Token Request: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-16#section-4....

Watch out for this if you try it in a city, because you could run afoul of bylaws and angry neighbours. In Surrey, British Columbia, a family tried doing this. They had piled up bark mulch and manure, and one of their neighbours complained to the city, which then told the family to remove the piles under Surrey's Unsightly Premises Bylaw. I don't know the outcome (I haven't found any articles after this point) but if you start piling bark mulch in your back yard, make sure you don't piss off your neighbours doing it.

My Dad is the same way, so a few months after first discussing Snowden I decided to write a little satire about living in communist Russia.

It was fairly short, probably 3 pages of dark humor, however he got the point and in now at the very least understands why this is important. I think many Americans (especially those who grew up in the cold war) do not realize how serious this is.

There was a campaign to white wash all the information, NPR, CNN, Fox, they really did not cover the story in a clear cut manner. The fact the government denied everything, and there was an abundance of information shut a lot of people down and out of the conversation.

That being said, every (older - 40+) person I talk to think Snowden was bad, until I ask the question, "Why did we fight the cold war?" You cannot spend decades battling Nazism/Communism only to accept the same practices a decade later. It's pathetic. Often after a clear explanation of what the NSA (or what we know the NSA) actually does, quickly changes their minds.

All they really need is an explanation.

I'm trying to understand this too. This is only a problem if the OAuth provider (Google, Twitter, etc) does not validate the URL that the client is trying to redirect the user to after the user has authorized the app, correct?
Politics in the security state selects for the kind of politician at the national level who is bought-in to the rightness and necessity of the security state, early in their careers, long before the people choose among them. It doesn't have to be powered by blackmail, assassination, or other exotic methods 99.99% of the time to be effective. It's the water they swim in. They hardly notice.

All the possible "radicalism" ends up at one end of the scale: PRISM, NDAA, and "least untruthful" causing barely a ripple.

The statement "Every national government in the civilized world needs an intelligence-gathering agency that can operate with some degree of operational secrecy." is true, but it's true at every scale. Suppose someone spilled ALL the beans, and the US had to start over in deciding what's secret and what isn't, going forward. How long would it take to accumulate our current trove of secrets, and what does that say about the necessity of most of them?
