I agree that the incarceration rate (drug war) and cultural acceptance have been major factors.

The data doesn't support that slavery, racism, housing discrimination were causes. When those terrible things were in full effect, the out of wedlock birth rate was flat and relatively low. Lower than the white out of wedlock birthrate is today. If you look at the large uptick in the late 60's and 70's, it points more to the drug war,the rise of the welfare state, and cultural acceptance as major factors.
Maybe throw a few coins or lines of code to the Serval guys then? They are a great team and have done some great work.

I'd some 2nd hand experience of how inefficient US school system is. Lots of districts and school actually have huge budgets. Some in fact have more budgets than entire state of a 3rd world country. The way this goes is, people in charge would cry about not having money. Then they would get chunk of money. And then those people would come up with ideas such as free distribution of iPads to everyone, go to conferences all over, hire speakers that charge $20K for speaking fees, build stupid websites that no one cares to use, fly over consultants to brainstorm education models, hire programmers to build useless school specific apps, and so on. Soon enough money would be all gone and then cycle repeats. Actual students hardly ever gets benefit from this drama and they may continue suffering bad cafeteria food or inadequate science lab.

I guess inner city schools probably are in need of money and improving facilities but for many others more money is not a solution.
Because the tech industry is what I'm passionate about. My lack of drive comes from things like lack of self-confidence and motivation.

"The application persists the tags in the file names."

That implies that it renames your files for you - can someone who's used it confirm this?

It's the BBC, so I'd say it's an averagely written article in their context.
Me and my gf went through a range of note-taking apps to find one that she could use for organising her business TODO's and notes. She did try Evernote, but the feeling was always "what do I do with all this". She ended up using the much more barebones http://zim-wiki.org/

It's quite simple to use if all you want is to make hierarchical TODO lists that you can check off, but also lets you link between pages, do some minor formatting etc.

Also, points for storing files as plain text and having very friendly git integration (just click File→Save a version, you never see any scary merge stuff since what you can do from the UI is so restricted).

Sure, it is a hard balance to get right. But privacy is an important right and we should not throw it away because it creates some extra effort for a multi-billion dollar company.

I also find it weak that Page plays the 'think of the startups' card. In fact, I think that since the Snowden leaks, there are far more opportunities to create privacy-aware or privacy-protecting services. E.g., I am pretty sure that Duckduckgo, a startup in search, benefitted tremendously from the recent attention to privacy issues.
Your examples don't strike me as low-quality or spam articles. Maybe if they were in Nature or Science or IEEE Spectrum. I think you should have a wider perspective, plenty of lifestyle sites I go on have poorer-quality articles that I choose to read, and I can certainly see paid relationships which are pretty transparent when I do so (as can most readers). I actually pay money to buy these magazines, and read articles like this (on many different subjects), so it is fair to say that I would pay to read content like this. I found them interesting.

I wouldn't have paid to read your comment though, probably because I don't care about SEO. (Not a reflection on your comment.)
It's bait and switch though. They claimed they offered a DNS service, but by deliberately breaking the spec, they offered something that wasn't a DNS service. It was something, but not DNS. I don't care how much it cost, it's dishonest.
Yeah seriously, take of your tin-foil hat, why would the NSA be interested in an encryption product?

Oh, wait, it's entirely feasible.
For something that's as fundamental to the internet as DNS, good luck measuring the meaningful detriment to your end users.
Out of curiosity (sorry if that's offtopic), but what kind of workload are you running?

Is there anything except resources that prevent you from moving to a more modern platform? Of course, "it works" is a valid argument there, too. But you seem to be writing new code, too.
Creative Cloud allows you to purchase a valid license for Adobe products for a reasonable monthly fee. For the first time ever, I have a fully legal copy of Photoshop that I pay $10 a month to use (I still mostly use GIMP and ImageMagick though). More specialized software, like Illustrator, is more than that each month (something like $40/mo iirc), but if you need it for school, you can justify it.

I think Creative Cloud is cool because it actually makes it reasonable to pay for some Adobe software, and you don't have to sink a bunch of time into cracks, activation workarounds, etc. I don't know if it's going to actually be more profitable for Adobe long-term or not, but as a consumer, I'm excited to see them try something new.

Quite a few of your comments about editorial decisions (changing URL, changing title) include a note about what the original was. I really like that, it helps people make sense of the conversation.
I have a website 5000best.com/tools with a ranking of web tools, and I received so far about 40-50 link removal requests. I rejected them all. First I answered to those people, later I stopped answering, because that's waste of my time.

The reason of all that nonsense seems to be this article:
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2012/07/new-notif...
and notifications in Google Webmaster Tools that tell people that spammy links point to their website, but do not tell them specifically which links Google does not like. I understand that Google uses link data mainly to estimate popularity of a website.

I don't understand why so large company, a global monopoly with so large revenue, and so much data gathered, can't figure out which sites are more popular than others without wasting webmasters' time. What's so difficult about that task? Why shift any work burden on website owners?

If this task is too difficult, maybe it's time to support the competition, or create a serious competition. Maybe Google does not deserve to be the largest search engine and get all the profits.
>Amazing that the money is all gone

Not really. This is what American Capitalism is known as around the world. In oil and gas you know to sell your shares and not work for a firm that gets an American CEO because everything the article talks about happens without fail within the first three years.

The short and simple of it is that Americans businesses just plain have no morals and everyone expects to be screwed over by them.

>It gives me more appreciation for Bill Gate's approach

Is just as bad as everyone else.

Remember that amazing mosquito zapper he demoed 4 years ago[1]? Turns out the reason you haven't heard anything more about it is because he hired his patent troll friends over at Intellectual Ventures to do it for him [2]. Since they own the patents for it no one else can develop it and they aren't cross licensing, kind of obvious for a patent troll. Since they are a patent troll they aren't doing anything but holding the intellectual property and not producing any units.

So all in all, it's just another green washing bullshit fest as are most of his other investments in the region.

A late trick I discovered, was that you can configure your php instance to inclued a file with every script. For example the following can be added to .htaccess:

php_value auto_prepend_file 'before.php'

You can then use that for bootstrapping, front controller and to limit access. Can be a bit clumsy, but it's nicely divorced from simple page controllers.

Hi, Vitorio! Thanks for your feedback, this is very valuable. I understand what you say and appreciate your answer, will review it once again and see what I can improve on my approach.

I probably must have written better description of the idea. Actually, with this I am trying to solve my own problem, as I find myself in need for such functionality quite often. I wanted to check if there are other people interested in it too before starting to implement this. So, the solution in the second paragraph is for my own problem, but it may change during the development and beta testing of the service, depending on feedback of other users of the system.

Also, I have prepared landing page for this, I did not publish it yet but it is ready, integrated with mail chimp. My next steps now are placing some ads on fb and maybe google to see if I can get at least 3-4 subscriptions for beta testing. That definitely will motivate me more to finish MVP asap.

Regarding your comment, building for fun or re-building from scratch later, that is also not problem. Of course, building for myself is more "for fun", but to be honest, I hope it can grow to something bigger after that, and if I will have to re-write it from the grounds, I do not have any problems with this, second version should be better than the first one.

Regarding your forth paragraph, I have to think how to do that, does not sound like an easy task for me atm. Once again, thanks for your feedback!!
Can someone explain how this is 4k? Apple's Thunderbolt Display has a resolution of 2560x1440 [1] and ASUS' PB287Q also has 2560x1440 according to Amazon [2].

It's also useless the content isn't removed it is just impossible to find in search engines.

If You can make a decentralized search engine that indexes everything no exceptions you would still find it.

Or you could make your own. It doesn't make it impossible to find just impossible for the average person.
And yet, there are impovrished schools. How is that possible?
My Chromebook Pixel has spoiled me. A 28" 4K monitor isn't sharp enough. Dell has a 24" that yields 180 ppi. I'd be interested to see that in person, but it probably still isn't sharp enough comparatively.
He grew up closer to Newark.
That $14k average includes public and private schools, as well as college tuition. It also ignores the fact that US public school funding is provided via local property taxes, so wealthy neighborhoods have better funded public schools than the lower income neighborhoods, whose kids actually need more resources.
I believe you're looking at the 278Q. The 287Q (note the digit changes) has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 according to the article.
That is exactly what I am doing now, building a tool for myself, with the hope that others have a need in it too.
The chinese are probably overselling like crazy (not to say Dropbox don't), if a a few million chinese start filling up on those TBs they will run into trouble very quickly... but they know this won't really happen, so they just use this for marketing purposes.

A lot of Irish households have access to British TV stations like BBC, ITV etc. and could have watched it there.

As a U.S. citizen I can give my perspective, although I don't know the real 'reasons' for anything people do.

People in roles like Zuckerberg are not only required to fulfill Machiavellian responsibilities to the companies they operate but they also need to do everything they can to counter the day-to-day reality with a strong likable public image. When Zuckerberg throws money it kind of acts as a bit of an inoculation to things like privacy concerns or the undermining of the middle class through the false culture of 'openness'. If Zuckerberg really cared about bad schools he would have dedicated a year ( or some meaningful amount of time) to teaching at one of them while learning about all the internal granularity and interacting pieces that truly are fucking up kids lives. Just throwing money is nice and I'm sure there is a ton of data behind his decision, but I can't help but think that a first hand perspective is something Zuckerberg has no desire to even begin to entertain. In fact I get the feeling that like most people ( admittedly myself) ), he would rather avoid it all together.
Well peer reviewed encryption libraries would take care of a huge proportion of that.

There is a lot of variation in names by nationality. Lots of Irish names (esp. female names) can be very hard to pronounce, such as Aoife, Oonagh, Caoimhe, Niamh, etc.
The problem with public schooling in the US isn't funding, inflation adjusted per-student funding has more than doubled since the 1970s but educational outcomes haven't budged. Pouring more money into the top of the funnel is the same thing we've been doing for decades, and it hasn't worked. If you want to make a big impact in education you either have to spend money closer to the students or you have to build something disruptive.
I guess the logo designer failed to solve this issue.
Or maybe they did get it, found it heavy-handed and crass and chose to downvote it. I didn't exactly go for subtlety to be quite frank. Doesn't matter anyway, that's why Hacker News has +/- buttons to begin with :)

Oh those poor search engines, making billions of dollars having to have the decency to let private individuals not have to have their lives opened up to casual searches on the internet 24/7. What a tragedy!

I for one have NO DESIRE for my children to grow up in a world where they do not have control over information about themselves on the internet. I can only pray this sensible law makes it to North America.

For those downvoting - are you a shill for Google? Try reading the form itself to appreciate how exceedingly reasonable it is:

A recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union found that certain users can ask search engines to remove results for queries that include their name where those results are “inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant, or excessive in relation to the purposes for which they were processed.”
In implementing this decision, we will assess each individual request and attempt to balance the privacy rights of the individual with the public’s right to know and distribute information. When evaluating your request, we will look at whether the results include outdated information about you, as well as whether there’s a public interest in the information—for example, information about financial scams, professional malpractice, criminal convictions, or public conduct of government officials.

Seems to me they relied on the uninitialized memory of a stack variable as a partial source of randomness for key generation.

Initializing the variable with 0 removed that part.
The author specifies using upper case for global variables – not for local variables. I’d consider that to be a useful technique and practice it myself. I also agree with minimising the use of global variables in the first place.
I find it interesting that it is only Microsoft Windows users really affected by this. What does that tell you about it as an ecosystem/platform?
Actually that is Windows Workflow Foundation.
No, I don't do that. I didn't find it very hard to learn the full APL keyboard. That said, it should be easy to make a Quail-based input method for it. If you could provide me with a list of the necessary combinations to generate the APL symbols, I could help you out in making it.
Which is really the idea. The law isn't about squelching free speech, it's just trying to keep this information from being so easily available. It's the right balance.

I find it so incredibly hard to believe that so many people are falling for this "poor-us" google routine. I just shake my head in bewilderment every time I hear it.

So they are right off on the wrong foot, with that domain name.

I belive any TrueCrypt fork should require contributions to be dual licensed under TrueCrypt's original license and BSD. In time, the project can shed original files and re-implement them under BSD or any other GPL compatible license.
Ask HN: Are there any Ruby bindings for Oculus Rift library (LibOVR)?
True, but if you need disk encryption you probably use one of those already.

Baidu Yun allow you to download some files through bittorrent. You just have to upload your torrent file then it will be downloaded on their servers.

I don't have a great connection at home but i can upload 6Go files from my computer with 1.5Mo/s or 2Mo/s to my BaiduYun personal storage, and i reach 3Mo/s per downloads.

It's quite common in china to use BitTorrent, and most of my friends downloads more than 10Go per day.

I agree that it must be about a marketing campaign but it's still incredible. I have already reach 1.5To, and i didn't have any email from them or warning.

Xeon Phi may well cement this further. Knight's Landing, due in 2015, is going to feature 72 Atom cores (288 threads) with AVX, socketed in a standard Xeon motherboard.

In situations where your problem domain doesn't fit comfortably within the memory restrictions of a GPU, or porting a legacy code base difficult, this could be a very interesting option.
