Look, as I stated twice before, I don't claim to prove anything. If you chose to believe I am misrepresenting my experiences (motive?) that's fine. I understand. I'm just relating the results of a lot... and I do mean a lot (as in hundreds if not thousands of hours) of observation in hope it saves someone some money from the table bumping scam. I have seen drunks cleaned out with it more than a few times. But you can be "right" if it makes you feel good.

You simply don't have my experience. Sorry.
As a Game Master we could see all these hidden communications betweens addons, and it would dwarf the amount of true communication a player would participate in. A raid group could be filled with 1,000 lines of addon chat a second, often contributing to lag that they would then complain about. Addons were powerful, but were certainly a source of many issues, and nobody wanted to hear that they needed to disable their addons to fix their issue.
Well, France not so much prefers as is forced to listen to dubbed.

But this is (slowly) changing, you now start to have major TV channels broadcasting TV series and Films in both French dubbed version and Original Version with subtitles. Not all of the channels, and not all of the content, but this is progressing.

Same goes for movies at the cinema (which was already the case in Paris but less in smaller towns),
The Vine you link to isn't necessarily a problem with Android itself. Sure, Android runs on several different devices from lots of different vendors that all use different hardware (which is a good thing), but the compass sensor shown here is notoriously finicky. Simply having the devices near other metal (like other phones) will cause completely erroneous data.

Education is not under Federal control, I live one of those "high performing" states. Painting this as a US issue is as silly as painting an issue solely controlled at the national level as an EU issue. I think the BBC's choice of portraying the US as a rusty bus is offensive as, again, this regional not a national issue.

I also think the areas named of poor performance often have poor performance across the board, that is not limited to the subject of mathematics specificity.
Sorry, but you can't just casually mention 'your opponents likely holdings' like it's trivial to determine. Putting an opponent on a hand is The Skill that top pros have mastered and if anything probably comes from great pattern matching and a strong memory, . But I don't know nor do you because nobody has built a computer that can do it well.
I understand how app engine takes away a lot of pain wrt data storage, uptime, etc.

But, $600+ is a lot of money. You can get a good number of very decent servers for that kind of money.

If you are not afraid of managing your own data, I think hosting stuff on virtual servers is way more cost effective.
I'm also able to log in to HBOGO on my Samsung Series 6 TV. Not sure where you're getting that from.
Unfortunately at the moment we cannot think of any sensible way to do this. You can proxy both through the same proxy but we do not have capabilities to differentiate between the two types of traffic. This looks like a useful feature though so I have added it to the list of things to research.
Are you talking about

I've found it effective at abstracting away browser differences.
I'm aware that Google targets its responses.

I've got my search history disabled (when logged in), and ran the second search in a logged-out session, to see if the results differed (that they don't is ... curious).

StartPage, however, claims to proxy its results anonymously, which makes the similarity with my Google search results ... interesting.

That said, for DDG not to return the leading open source office suite as its top result (similar to Bing's response) strikes me as a less-than-optimal situation.

SERP is the new Tarot.
This is definitely changing, but slowly, yes.
There are other options. My commute to one end is 40 minutes, of which 20 minutes are walking (obviously not a waste). The other 20 minutes on a train is reading articles.

I think that the author dramatically underestimates the difficulty of learning a foreign language, which undermines his perspective statement. I would go so far as to say that it's absolutely impossible for anyone but a savant to become conversationally fluent in a foreign language with 30 hours of work which is what his timeline suggests (and the very article he links as support seems to agree with my assessment).

With that out of the way, I find that my daily productivity isn't limited by available time so much as available willpower (which we currently believe can be exhausted in the same way that muscles are exhausted [0]). I think a more effective way to improve your productivity is to ask not how much time you're wasting, but why you're wasting that time.

Arrakis doesn't eliminate memory protection or process isolation, nor does it give applications direct hardware access. It takes advantage of modern hardware virtualization capabilities to present certain virtual devices to the guest applications, eliminating the kernel from the I/O path for critical operations like receiving a packet.

According to this article it doesn't sound broken in the north. I'm opposed to nationwide changes as I am fearful it will just mess of the good things we have going on here.
The two are not mutually exclusive (although if you can supply some evidence this extreme concern with what the "Tea Party" wants translating into substantive action by the national Republican Party I'm all ears).

If you're completely unaware of how the Republican establishment has been at war with its base LONG before the "Tea Party" (e.g. at least as far back as Goldwater in 1964), you need to read up on the relevant history before making such unproductive accusations.

Heck, how about brushing up on basic human psychology, since the concept of ingratitude (in this case, of the Republican establishment) would appear to be beyond your imagination.
Went to check this — seems that you can watch some HBO shows on instant video, but you have to pay extra for those. Kind of sucks.

EBay makes users change their passwords after hack
IT's just as likely that people will still be in 500 square foot houses or that most of them will have been subdivided into 250 foot apartments while a small number of people have bought 2000 foot houses. People certainly do not always end up better in absolute terms.

Furthermore, relative gains matter because they say something an individual's economic standing in society. Your average person's quality of life might have improved significantly compared to a generation ago, but so has that of everyone else, with whom one is in economic competition. It's great than an iPad of 2014 is many, many times more powerful and costs less than a Mac of 1984, but having a Mac in 1984 gave you a significant economic edge, whereas owning an iPad today just means that you're not poor. Notwithstanding the enormous technical superiority of the current device, its economic utility depends on how well you can leverage it in today's economy, not of an earlier one where such a device would have been miraculous and allowed you to take over a small country.
Depending on your perspective, walking can be a waste. It's better than driving because it provides fitness benefits, but it's much worse than actual aerobic (or anaerobic) training.

For instance, you would be better off driving for 5 minutes after spending 15 minutes doing interval training or some other kind of intensive exercise.
Lines of code.

Oh, you said quality, not quantity...

Same answer.
There is a newish add on called oqueue it does a similar p2p hack to form groups across servers for rbgs and now raids (no in game feature for rbg forming). Very fun to hack the code and give yourself impossible stats for jokes and invites. Haven't done much more than that but the hack was useful when you are playing an under geared alternate character that punches way above its weight and can't find groups due to gear level.

I'm almost certain you could get yourself invites and hijack group leadership with it (the addon takes over those functions)
Physics isn't a contraction or abbreviation, it's the entire word.

Mathematics is the entire word which all English speakers agree on. The difference is that British-English decided to abbreviate the word to 'maths', while American-English decided to abbreviate it just as 'math'.
Static Electricity is simple in theory, but hard to observe directly. Why? How do you directly observe electrons moving from surface to surface?

To observe something directly you basically need to bounce stuff off of it and observe where that stuff goes. e.g. Bouncing hundreds of ping-pong balls off of a basketball and tracing their trajectories will give you a pretty good idea of the basketball's outline. We do this all the time just by opening our eyes and observing light that is scattered/reflected/radiated by the objects around us. Unfortunately, we start to run into quantum limits when we try to observe electrons. Observing electrons with photons is like observing that same basketball by bouncing cannonballs off of it. We can reasonably expect to hit the basketball and maybe even observe a tiny deflection in the first cannonball, but the basketball will be long gone before we can fire a second cannonball and we need several deflections to get even a rudimentary image! Things only get harder if we want to know things like the basketball's position and speed! Electrons themselves are one of the preferred tiny things to bounce off of other tiny things to observe them (e.g. electron microscopy), but bouncing basketballs off of basketballs doesn't work very well either. What about quarks you say? Great idea! Or, it would be if quarks were stable enough to travel even the microscopic distances required. Also, quarks are charged...

So there you have it. Static electricity is hard to observe directly because of quantum limits on observation. We can only make indirect observations and see how well they agree with the theory. On the bright side, there is at least some hope of detecting the transfer of molecules.
Are these guards against abuse anything like the "guards against abuse" that the English presumably have to prevent abuse of super-injunctions by multi-millionare footballers?
There is one reason to consider making poker illegal - it is addictive and has destroyed the lives and financial situations of many people who play it.

I've seen friends and family throw away thousands of dollars because of their addiction to poker. I'm not sure that poker is a net gain for society or not, but to say that poker is simply a game of skill that is no more harmful or beneficial than basketball or bowling or fishing or chess is disingenuous.

I admit that poker and other forms of gambling are not equally addictive or destructive to all people, just like WoW isn't equally addictive/destructive to all people who play. However, there are far more cases of gambling, specifically games of luck/skill like poker/blackjack, that result in broken lives and broken families due to a gambling addiction than in a traditional "game of skill".

Perhaps society as a whole is willing to believe the positives of poker outweighs the negatives, like it does with drinking alcohol or I guess now maybe smoking marajuana in some states.

We just shouldn't pretend that poker is all positives because it is statistically a game of skill. There is a lot more to the behavior around the game than that and only a fool would believe otherwise.

While the famous economics prof's point makes sense, I don't believe inequality has to be inevitable. "The always will be" argument could have been applied to slavery for most of human history, and while it's true slavery remains a problem in the present day (ie human trafficking) it is not now treated as inevitable nor is it officially condoned.

The definition of poverty also shifts ... in North America today everyone has a tv, and probably a computer, all of which could be considered luxury goods at points in the past - no one lives today like the poor of a hundred years ago, but we still have people who we consider poor, and who consider themselves poor.
Comcast doesn't sale or rent iPad competitors so they don't feel the need to cripple the iPad.
I know some people say they've lost the "Don't be evil" mojo for quite some time now, but this would finally do it for me. It's a wonder that they're able to avoid making you feel like you're the product (advertising audience) in so many of their products, but now this feeling seems to be changing and many people I know are more acutely aware of the reality.

One important point about roulette is this...

On slot machines the house will pull tricks. For example, they will have payouts more likely at certain times than others. There are others as well. But in total, the machines must statistically pay out a certain percentage and this is checked by third parties.

Roulette? I don't know how they would ever insure this. It's a good place to take advantage if the house is inclined to do so.
What is being complained about here?

The obvious thing that stands out to me is potential timing attacks: 'and' doing short circuit eval, and '==' exiting early when the first byte is non-equal (or the lengths are non-equal).

Pardon my lack of knowledge, but how is this single function in the server an NSA honeypot?
Fairly link-baity title, but honestly even if Google ends up doing this it's not surprising. They don't make money from devices or software; their primary revenue stream stems from advertising. They are, first and foremost, an advertising company that likes to do cool things with technology.

And that's fine, because in a free-market economy we will always have alternatives. Also important to note: nowhere in the filing does Google ever mention how this will pan out. The only reason this alarmist behavior is occurring is due to the Nest acquisition. I personally believe there's no reason to worry.

With apologies to Bill Gates, "We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten."

Yep, I hope it's not the dubbed crap everybody else has. I wonder if this is a licensing issue or a service issue.
Since you are adverse to references to the 1940s, suppose we were talking about ex-Google engineer David Barksdale instead.

Does he have the "right to be forgotten"?
Often the US sites are actually right on the border - I know where several carriers are sited at the Blaine crossing, and both are within a couple block thereof.
We [Google] are in contact with the SEC to clarify the language in this 2013 filing, which does not reflect Google’s product roadmap. Nest, which we acquired after this filing was made, does not have an ads-based model and has never had any such plans.

Is this a stab at the fact that there's no hashing? Or that the credentials are pointless when you could just generate a random url to authenticate, since the HTTP channel is encrypted anyway?
Yea you are right - another idea would be to talk to your work and setup a satellite office with some co-workers closer to home...maybe working out of there part-time...you'd obviously have to make a case with the company but its doable
Secret launched on Android today – here's my open-source version
This was the case for me, but rebuilt from source and it worked fine. Given the code exists I wonder why it isn't more common in terminal emulators. Its really handy when you want to pop up a simple picture or a line drawing.
Wow, seriously the bullshit here is saddening. Not from malandrew, but from the snarky comments of a bunch of whiny little kids.

Is the lack of basic scrollbar functionality on the website disheartening and annoying? Yep. Should it be fixed before I use it on any of my websites? Absolutely.

But how about we lose the sanctimonious lecturing on how to launch a product? Much less an OPEN SOURCE, FREE product. None of you paid a goddamn penny for any of it. None of you are losing business because part of it suddenly stopped working in your production site. None of you are ENTITLED to shit.

They put something out there that is a work in progress. I find this particular oversight annoying, but I can still evaluate the library and see if it is something I want to continue using. Listening to this "holier-than-thou" whining is just disturbing. I don't care what your theories on how someone else runs their company are. Apply it to your own and ship your own flipping product instead of sniping others on Hacker News (which appears to really be all HN has become these days).

malandrew, THANK YOU for the work your team has done on a library that has the potential to help us on our own projects, and yes, I do look forward to the glaring scrollbar issue being fixed. Not because I'm entitled to it, but I think your product is an interesting one and would like to see more of it.
You nailed it. In other words, literally everything is wrong with that function.
Indeed. This read to me as "We expect wearables and the Internet of Things to take off, and our ad distribution will follow the platforms available in the future. Obviously."

So really this is more interesting as an admission of what Google expects from the next few years of technology trends than as some proclamation about ad placement.
It's legal in the sense that you are buying an inferior version of HBO from Comcast than you are from other providers. Comcast isn't blocking HBO Go. It's just not giving it to you. Unfortunately, the only way to get HBO Go is through your TV provider (unless they've changed it recently).
I occasionally play Dragon's Lair when I am at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. Thanks to the wonders of inflation and my status of being a wage-earning adult, the frustration of "lasting for about 2 minutes before losing all five lives" is no longer a concern. Another quarter? Why not. Still, it is unbelievably frustrating.

I miss arcades.
That's not realistic at all. Maybe for the average HN reader, but not for average users, even RSS savvy ones.

I know plenty of people who use RSS that wouldn't be able to check if Python is in their PATH as per your instructions. Unless there's some friendlier instructions that I'm not seeing.
In the specific case of Tor hidden services, using HTTP has been considered quasi-OK because the Tor hidden service protocol encrypts (using Tor's own transport encryption) through to the hidden service endpoint. That is, the HTTP is actually sent via the loopback interface from the Tor client on the hidden server to the actual application process running on the same host. Thus, virtually all hidden websites have used the http URL scheme with the .onion address.

I think it would be more sensible as a matter of defense in depth to not rely on Tor's transport encryption for this purpose. I guess it's a fairly steep challenge for UI, though, because you currently can't get a CA to issue a certificate for a .onion name (although there is a remote possibility that this could change if the P2P TLD RFC is adopted and then the CA/Browser Forum agrees to recognize the P2P TLDs as legitimate subject DNS names in certs).
I think this is it, it's easier to justify your fee if you offer lots of features and extras.

You could spend a lot of time thinking and examining requirements and come to the conclusion that a static site with very minimal but carefully designed styling would be an effective solution.

But it's hard to ask for thousands of $ for that with a straight face when the competing bidders are offering CMSs , iphone apps and facebook integration for the same price.
I feel like that would be atrocious. I would certainly pay more for the ad free version. Such a shame that folks who couldn't pay as much would go home to be bombarded with advertisements from their appliances. Obviously it wouldn't stop at the thermostat and the car.

The data collected on the other hand, as much as I'd hate to be a part of the collection process, that would be an amazing data set to tackle. An information stream with things like locations, speeds, temperatures, and more.
It would seem that applying a law in spirit is incompatible with human nature.

Yeah, that's the kicker for buying. You have to have something for a down payment.

My place was $470k and we paid about $72k in closing costs. Our loan is 3.625% for $417k.

You can still find nice places at that price point, but rates have gone up. So that's another reason why it isn't a fair comparison. But it's an option, and it isn't far away like other east bay places. And like I said, commute times are similar (35 minutes for me).
People ruin themselves betting on basketball, too. Though I am not sure the degree to which it's legal...

One difference, of course, is that most of the people ruining themselves betting on other sports are spectators not participants.

Your principle point - that "game of skill" doesn't mean "useful" or "productive" or "worthwhile" - certainly very much stands.
Arbitrary education standards and comparisons to other countries aren't going to change the way people think.
