The disparity goes back over 100 years. Even in 1914, a city such as Philadelphia had 10X the homicide rate of London. The best book I have read on the subject is Raymond Fosdick's "Crime in America and the Police" https://archive.org/details/crimeinamericapo00fosd I think the reasons he points out in the 1910's still basically are the same reasons the crime rate are higher today.

Edit: also, the best book I have read on the more modern problem of violence and urban decay in northern American cities is "Devil's Night" by Ze'Ev Chafets http://www.amazon.com/Devils-Night-Other-Detroit-Vintage-ebo...
No copyright law (in any country that I'm aware of, even if the OP sold the app) has been violated.

The OP may be subject to some school policy... but that's it. The administration is plain wrong and the OP should pursue his app if he can withstand the administrations push-back/threats.

You can always link-to and/or provide access to existing work (copyrighted or not) so long as you provide proper attribution (state the original content authors/creators)
Why does Google get kudos for inventing new languages (Go), and Apple gets mocked? (Swift)
In Italian, "chiocciola" and "chiocciolina" are definitely the most common.
KDE has always supported as many task bars as you want, Windows you limited to 1 task bar or 1 task bar per monitor in win8, and it is very limited, KDE you can have 2,3,4 or more taskbars on every monitor and can put anything you want in them

Gnome2 was similar.

Gnome3 does not have a taskbar at all, there is a extension that kinda creates it but the work flow for Gnome3 is taskbar-less, but the biggest problem with Gnome3 is there is a bug that has been there for a LONG time when you have stacked monitors the window manger gets all screwed up, so you can only have monitors configured in a strait horizontal configuration.

Cinnamon only supports a single taskbar which is one of my biggest complaints with cinnamon

Unity I believe is single only as well, but I have very limited exposure to ubuntu desktop
It seems hard to impossible to flash new software on your washing machine, even if it's open source and you can download a patched version from somewhere.

Color manipulation in JavaScript – Spectra
How did the "Professional Carding Shop" infringe on McDonald's Inc's Trademarks? Can I buy credit card numbers at their fast food restaurants?

Did people think they could buy Big Mac Hamburgers online with bitcoins and get delivery over email?
Sprint has some quasi-GSM technology; they acquired Nextel some years back. Nextel utilized the iDEN protocol. iDEN used a time division multiple access (TDMA) network. TDMA is sort of a precursor to GSM. It's small, but there's some overlap.
Interesting, did you run your tests on iOS8, OS X 10.10 or on OS X 10.9.3 ?

Xcode or command line ?
It might just be a matter of picking out a better use case.

How about if it listens for someone screaming for help and calls an ambulance? Assuming you can limit false positives, you could probably sell it for use with the elderly and the infirm.
You can't take two networks with bad build outs and combine them and get one big great network. Many of the places each is spotty are very similar. Additionally they both use two sep air interfaces which will make integration even more complex. More troubling is that this market needs more competition, not less. To enter the market you need huge swaths of spectrum and having that in the hands of three large competitors vs allowing more competition is unwise for consumers. This deal should be quickly shot down by the FCC/ DOJ. We need more entrants in the space, not less.
There is nothing they could do, even in their own country. No laws have been violated here.

(maybe we should all publish the app to prove the point)
Is there any secure way to update a pacemaker's software without surgery?
Does this problem (the growing widespread network insecurity of everyday objects) have a specific name, like "security rot"? If it does, I don't know it. I do know that once you give a complex problem a label (like "net neutrality" or "the Internet of Things"), it becomes a catalyst for discussion. People begin to understand and recognize the label, it becomes a brand that journals and conferences and books and blogs can all focus on. This phenomenon needs a label if we're going to make real progress on it.
No, The Customer is not always right.
One of the nice assets you acquire when you merge is the option to use whichever brand will work best in front of consumers, no matter how small a player it actually is.
"The problem is that dropping a pacemaker 0day is so horrific that most people would readily agree it should be outlawed. But, at the same time, without the threat of 0day, vendors will ignore the problem."

If this is the case, then wouldn't the same most-people (if made aware of the issue) also agree that it should be illegal for a company's management to ignore life-threatening software flaws in their products after being notified?

I mean illegal as in reckless endangerment or manslaughter, not illegal as in lawsuits and golden parachutes.
Poverty and lack of access to [mental] healthcare (in the US).

Gun violence is heavily skewed to poor areas; go to a wealthy area and people leave their doors/cars unlocked -- near zero crime.

Now show me a mass shooter that has not had serious, prior mental health problems.
It would've been helpful if the guide mentioned the required KVM and Qemu versions by their version numbers. Users like me (Arch Linux, Gentoo etc.) and Ubuntu, Fedors users in the future could check and avoid installing from source.
They'd probably still harass the student, as the original author. I don't think you'd be doing him any favors.
I hear you. I was frustrated by the SMTP thing once myself. Thereafter, I knew what was going on.

Anyway, as devs who need access to this stuff we are in the minority, and I am sure they can find a way to make exceptions for people like us who are "power users".

But, to leave the other 98% of grandmothers, etc. completely vulnerable to botnets by default seems an unreasonable approach.

What seems clear is that they will eventually have to do something.

Tech Talk: Referrals at Airbnb
Interesting, at least the first chapter seems to say that it's due to having a much more diverse population - is that pretty much the tl:dr?
Even if it has decreased by 49%, 51% of a big number is still a big number.
I'm trying to imagine the reverse situation with a female speaker playing on negative male stereotypes with a primarily-female audience. E.g.:

X is my boyfriend: physically strong, just wants sex, doesn't do laundry, generally messy, checks out my friends

Personally I wouldn't be offended if someone presented the slide above, and I have a hard time imagining that there'd be an uprising about it. To me this clearly indicates a double standard. So where should we draw the line on gender stereotypes, to be applied equally to both sexes? I can't answer that, but I think the above analogy shows that people are being hypersensitive.
You Sir, are correct. The only time I ever hear about "security through obscurity" is when it fails, not when it succeeds. I got so used to the open source model where everything is known and flaws are more likely to be fixed. I guess that doesn't work for every application.
Watch how long it takes them to fix it then...

That strikes me as really optimistic. Another scenario:

Medical equipment manufacturing lobby (I'm assuming there is such a thing) pushes to have such disclosures treated as acts of terrorism. Manufacturer issues a patch that fixes your very specific vulnerability in some trivial, meaningless way. Your career is ruined. Pacemakers truly secured: 0.
In Japanese, the sign itself is called "attomaaku" ("at mark") but it's pronounced as "atto" when dictated. So someone's email would be johnsmith-at-gmail-dot-com, and if you ask a Japanese person to pronounce the symbol, they would say "atto". However, if you show them the symbol and ask them _what it is_, they probably would say "attomaaku".

Semiotics is fascinating.
I imagine there's some value in being able to update the firmware on a pacemaker. Maybe a new pacemaking algorithm can save 1% more lives or something. Or it could automatically call an ambulance when you have a heart attack, etc.
Fun fact about HN's bad visual design: submissions with very short titles typically get huge amounts of upvotes as people try to click on the submission link, and hit the upvote button by accident. Since you can't revoke upvotes for dumb submissions, the number climbs without limit.
Since both companies are public, the term doesn't fit 100%, but it seems more like a reverse merger to me.
Copy Blu-ray to ISO file
Nowadays, lots of people have NAS (Network Attached Storage) at home, on which they can save all their important data’s, including multimedia sources for entertainments. So, they can also backup their Blu-ray movies onto NAS to keep budgets down on buying blank Blu-ray discs. How can they do that? It is pretty easy, as most of the noted Blu-ray Copy software have the functions to copy Blu-ray movies from discs onto HDDs as management-friendly ISO files. Among those software’s, DVDFab Blu-ray Copy is a user-friendly one.You can see more info about the guide at:http://www.dvdfab.cn/blu-ray-copy/copy-blu-ray-to-iso-file.htm?ad=hcj
why would you publish that on npm? i'm not familiar with the ecosystem, is there a precedent for publishing non-js source files on npm?
What do other countries do in terms of mental healthcare to prevent these kind of things? Better monitoring and response to early warning signs, and then forcefully committing patients?
That's not necessarily true. We have already written programs which are able to come to conclusions which are not obvious from a human perspective. This is fairly common with big-data algorithms where a human just can't see the same pattern because we have different limitations in our ability to process mass amounts of data. My point was that it is human nature to build tools which allow us to exceed our own limitations. Sure, from my vantage point I see little reason to be optimistic about an algorithmic solution to sarcasm detection, but "if man were meant to fly he would have been given wings."

Also, the example I gave is a simple solution: mind reading is a trivial solution to sarcasm detection, and it is not inconceivable from our current point of technology.
According to Wikipedia, Andreeson Horowitz is $4 billion. So how can they afford $266 billion?
It's a tale of a misspent youth, wasted 20's, and a procrastinating disaffected attempt to reclaim my life as I now begin my 30's.
There's just no way to prevent this. http://www.theonion.com/articles/no-way-to-prevent-this-says...
For the record, it was your essay which is where I first learned about the idea; I'll add a link to it in the README. My contribution to the idea is only the trick with Bitcoin addresses, and even that Takki deserves co-credit for as well.
Interesting: USA is fifth-lowest in the Western Hemisphere. If nearly all of the Americas (and Africa!) are considered high, perhaps the colonial history plays a role? This wouldn't really be a factor you could blame on current political systems.
I was just counter-pointing what the article seems to be touting as a huge positive, specifically from the research they cite: http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/files/2013/05/firearms_final_.... The "49% decline" is based on gun-related homicides per 100,000 people. I never intended for that to be taken as "gun homicides are the only homicides that matter". That's silly.
Not healthcare, but I would rather live in a house half its current size than give up TV and internet.

People living in abject poverty also enormously value their TVs. Here is an example of a man who goes hungry in order to watch TV, from the book Poor Economics [1]:

We asked Oucha Mbarbk, a man we met in a remote village in Morocco, what he would do if he had more money. He said he would buy more food. Then we asked him what he would do if he had even more money. He said he would buy better tasting food. We were starting to feel very bad for him and his family, when we noticed a television, a parabolic antenna, and a DVD player in the room where we were sitting. We asked him why he had bought all these things if he felt the family did
not have enough to eat. He laughed, and said, “Oh, but television is more important than food!”

If you think the cost of rent and house prices affect the standard of living then so should the availability of TVs and internet.
