Programming Retreat in Costa Rica
I'm constantly bewildered by how Americans keep complaining about the government they elect. I live in a country without democracy so you can understand people complaining, but not in America. Just stop voting for the same parties that keep pissing you off! During his first election campaign, Obama publicly promised to do drone strikes in Pakistan. It's not a surprise that it ended up happening.
That's incorrect if the linked article is correctly quoting the binding portion of the decision. If the decision relies on a right to travel, it's almost certainly going to rely on the 1st Amendment. If what I suspect happened, which is the article quoted dicta addressing issues raised, but not necessary to the ruling, then you are correct, it's entirely a due process issue. The former is highly vulnerable to appeal, the second, drastically less so.
Hi, author here.

No. Not using Bluetooth LE, since there is no support for acting as a "server" device that can be discovered by other peers. It's sure to come someday, but right now it's only possible using a rooted phone.

It maybe possible that Firechat uses either Wifi Direct, which is supported on most modern Androids or classic Bluetooth, although the discovery/connection requires user interaction.

Well swapping funds around has limits - if you clearly spend the money planned for road improvements or welfare for other uses like war purposes, a simple audit of spending will be able to highlight the misuse - and I'd wage we would need an extremely severe judicial system to punish those involved with the misuse of public money.
Sorry, didn't mean to imply that this is what happens. Just that by design, it's what should happen (I was addressing a specific comment who posed a hypothetical). Your recourse to having your rights forcibly removed by police is to take it to court, where punishment will ideally be administered to fit the violation.

This looks accurate. In this case, it looks like the court relied both on precedent, the Constitution, and finding a new right. For purposes of appeal, my guess is the decision is upheld, while declining to accept the first justification of the ruling. The second point the decision relies upon is a pretty strong one, in my opinion.

To be fair. Every operating system assumes these things. At least the seL4 team has made this explicit. Secondly, there is a tiny amount of this code amounting to a few hundred lines of assembly and there are numerous verified hardware projects underway. Furthermore, as time has gone by, many of the original assumptions have been whittled away. This is by far the most robust operating system ever written.

>'When a teacher is teaching a computer science class that requires installing new libraries and executable every other week, they should be given admin rights or else the computer pre-installed with all needed programs (that never happens in my friends' schools).'

I see. That's just broken.

I'm thinking of desktops, the sort that need some amount of persistence and security.

What you're describing is a lab - which should be built in such a way that it's as wide open as the class requires, but can be restored to a clean base quickly and easily.

Unfortunately, this sort of thing - automation is generally beyond the folks charged with running those systems.

Years ago, I encountered one well-meaning, but woefully unequipped guy who was re-imaging 20+ machines every few weeks with a single CD. I got him rolling with a networked solution at least.

This is one place 'we' can help though - by documenting or ideally packaging up the tools for building proper environments.

I have never heard anyone say that the U.S. is at "war" in Pakistan. Instead Pakistan allows military strikes on terrorists that the U.S. is in a forever war with.

That is part of what makes the use of drones there scary. If military jets were bombing areas in Pakistan, there would be an outcry. Drones for some reason are different. They feel like a slippery slope towards a new way of thinking about an almost casual and less invasive military violence that is somehow more permissible than "traditional" (jets, troops) forms of military engagement.

Now that I think about it, maybe the above is just because most countries share no experience with being the _victims_ of drone strikes. Most countries can relate to a physical invasion or of planes bombing from above. But drones are so new and so specifically tied to the fight with terrorists that perhaps there is a feeling that drones are something that happens to "other people's countries" (so to speak), and that is what makes them less bad some how.

A good recent Rolling Stone article on the Forever War:

I absolutely agree. At the very least, students should have access to Linux computer shell accounts via Putty or the like. That at least would eliminate the struggles of HS computer science teachers to get the necessary dev environments set up on their classroom Windows machines.
This is great API, added it to the Mashape community for easy consumption ;)
People would probably underfund boring but necessary programs like the interstate highway system and industrial regulations, and would mostly check boxes for a few highly visible programs that fit with their politics (NASA, the EPA, new fighter jets, etc). I expect that a lot of programs would end up being designated as "necessary", with choices allowed for only a few which are deemed inessential. And of course, drones would end up being classified as necessary.

This has the potential to actually start people asking whether "free market solutions" make any sense in issues of public good. There are reasonable points to be made on this specific public parking issue (few of them shared with e.g. discussions of public healthcare, which is a philosophically related debate with completely different details). I hope the standard becomes "What works?", but perhaps that makes me naive.

That all being said, the only way San Francisco (or any other city) can possibly manage these problems is through a combination of taller buildings used as housing and excellent public transportation.
Since when is "wealth" inequality a "socialist" thing? It's a matter of such importance that The Economist considers it the most pressing issue in economics of our times.

There is also nothing "socialist" about the publication. And the fact that the stats may be skewed by certain underlying variables (like every other study on Earth, who knew) does not invalidate the findings, although it does invite for further refinement of the data for more conclusive information.
Considering the work needed by the website to convince the user to give away the data, and even with approaches like described with the article, we may be overestimating what websites could learn of us by checking if we've visited some random 2, or 4, or 15 sites.

Yes, it's an invasion of privacy and has to be sanitized, but it's not like that websites can see all of your history, view it in chronological order, or know if you've visited this link 6 months ago or today. And plus, you need to make the user somehow disclose what he sees on the screen, which may often look suspicious.

And what would an adversarial website do with these {visitedlinks, IP} tuples? Hit me with personalized ads or sell that modicum of my history to some ad company? Big shit, I hit the reset button on my router, and I get a new dynamic IP address from the ISP. The site now knows nothing.

These work more as proof-of-concepts. The inconvenience they require to be collected, paired with the limited utility of the results, makes for an unattractive attack vector.

I agree that if someone wants to target specifically you and knows something about you, they can put this class of exploits to a more threatening use, such as (if you're at work) seeing if you've visited some company LAN URL. Or perhaps they can see if you've accessed the admin pages on some website they're targeting, so they can determine if you have admin rights there.
I think better for the user might be "apply the right styling, but don't tell scripts."

This is orthogonal to letting same-domain links have more information on their visited status too.

Fact Check: The New York Times' "The Corporate Daddy"
Philosophers love love love to relive the history of philosophy, but it's history, not present fact.

Please read back over our discussion - you were the one who brought in ancient history. The things I have mentioned are all aspects of philosophy that are relevant in the current day.

Newton called himself a "natural philosopher"--true. But today most folks call him a scientist.

There is no dichotomy. Being a scientist and doing philosophy are not only not mutually exclusive, but you can't do good science without engaging in philosophy to some degree. This is not the same as 'all of science is actually philosophy', but a comment that the methods of good science require philosophy.

the question is what does philosophy do for scientists today

Why does philosophy need to find factoids or bring something fresh every year in order to be valid?

"And philosophy is not the only discipline that engages in studying the workings of science. So do history and sociology of science, and yet I never heard you dismiss those fields on the grounds that they haven't discovered the Higgs boson." - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/massimo-pigliucci/neil-degrass...

That quote comes from an interesting article, well worth reading. The author is countering Tyson's public misrepresentation of philosophy - with the postscript that Tyson apparently accepts these criticisms.

The philosophy of science is similar to mathematics in what it offers science - you find a new technique that gives good results, so you use it in future. "What does philosophy do for scientists today?" is like saying "What does calculus do for scientists today?".

Sure, but unless you're going to keep falling into the "not invented here" trap, you're going to encounter code that comes from outside your organizational boundaries.
Let's say two vantage points, then.
That article says they are trying to make military drones "about equivalent to a chainsaw when up close".

So that's still louder than a lot of the hobby drones out there today. Having flying chainsaw-level noises everywhere will still be pretty annoying.
Ask HN: Confessions of a Non-Tech Co-Founder in Health-Tech
I am the "business guy" building a startup focused around data analytics in healthcare. Two more technical guys I've been working with are both still in school, and I'm looking to bring another individual onto the team. Before you pull out the pitchforks, here's some context:

During grad school, I saw a scalable opportunity in health-tech, brought on two tech friends and started user research. However, when looking for a co-founder, it's either "too early" or people who think health is boring. My guys can put in a few hours a week. What more can I realistically do to get "traction"? I do know the basics of coding, but in health IT, complexity is high. In my mind, I can only wear so many hats (see below). I've been in the health-tech community long enough to know the value a true technical co-founder brings. We need deeper technical leadership; there are things we know we don't know and things we don't know we don't know. I've done my best to make sure that my contributions would be valued:

Competitor / market research: Done. I've studied the major competitors / familiarizing myself with their products.

Legal / investors: Already in touch with several of the best startup lawyers / investors in Chicago (my hometown) thanks to previous relationships.

Relationships with medical research community: Done. In the process of formalizing one with a leading medical school.

Relationships with hospitals: Ongoing. I've been working with physicians / hospital administrators on this for several months, have plenty of user research and a network of strong advisors for making warm calls when the time comes.

Mock-ups / wireframes: Nearing completion this week.

I want to solve an actual real-world problem (not "Yo"). I'd appreciate any feedback, and, if someone wants to help, just email me.

Isn't it strange to ask why Oppenheimer "missed" a Nobel prize while Harold Urey and Carl Anderson got one?

It is Oppenheimer who is far more famous, and probably made a bigger contribution to physics or the world. IMHO, it just shows that Nobel Prize is a poor means to measure physicists.
When people talk about proofs of correctness of software, they don't generally mean some bloke has gone and worked out on paper a formal proof. It means that they have used provably correct methods and then run the whole thing through an automated verifier.

So true. Hey, friend!
> I wonder what the Geneva Convention has to say about Nation States relying on the same shady tactics.

The Geneva Conventions specifically require belligerents to ensure that their combatants are distinctively uniformed, carry weapons openly, not to use civilians as human shields, not to engage in perfidy, and to be under the command of a responsible officer.

The Taliban only generally fall under one of those (command and control).

But even assuming you extend Geneva Convention rights unilaterally since we are "better than them", as long as the attack (first or second) is directed against a military target (i.e. actual Taliban troops coming into to retrieve the bodies of their fallen and wounded), has military value, and does not cause harm to civilians out of proportion to the military value to be gained, then it would be just fine under not only Geneva, but the international law of war (customary and otherwise).

I mean, you're referring to the same Geneva Conventions that governed U.S. conduct in Vietnam for crying out loud, Conventions explicitly tailored to the idea of people killing people, so how sunny and cheery did you think the Geneva Conventions are?

There are similar restrictions for flying visually or by instruments. Even flying visually you wouldn't pass your flight test if you restricted your field of view to anything like a normal camera.

It's amazing how prescriptive the aviation industry is, often with demonstrable reason, so it doesn't surprise me that drones/models are also evaluated in an equally stern light. Though I think there's a good argument for exemptions the lower hazards involved.
Pretty common for companies to have a 90 day probation period for new hires where they can fire you for any reason or no reason at all. Would be great if employees could just walk away after 90 days with absolutely no stigma, kinda a no fault separation.
Such medical and chaplain personnel are required to be marked (which explains all the markings on TV shows such as M.A.S.H.). Otherwise how can a military operation avoid accidentally targeting them?

If it's true that distinctively marked medical personnel were deliberately targeted then you're right that it would be a breach of the law of war.
It didn't affect the large majority, as I said.

Youtube and Google+ have merged (in case you didn't miss the large outrage over that). It was after Google softened its enforcement a bit, and the enforcement was never good.

I also have multiple google accounts and had no troubles, but we're just anecdotes, we're not everyone. The few cases where it did happen were well publicized: http://gizmodo.com/5830463/if-you-use-a-fake-name-on-google%...

The fact that Google+ and Youtube accounts have been merged is common knowledge at this point.

Sure, the people probably did click "Update my details", but you can't expect regular users to read everything and google's actions sorta "sets you up for failure" in terms of identity.

Your argument that "I had no trouble so it's okay" is a bad one because it's an anecdote.

Your "evidence" that they help you manage multiple accounts is a good point. What I really meant is "Google has tried to prevent you from having false identities". Multiple accounts supports e.g. having a company Google Apps account and a personal account, or having a school account and personal, etc. Places where you have one identity and switch between multiple accounts.

Who made such research? I'm not sure if it's even possible to know exactly, unless all vendors who run their own stores publish sales statistics.
Sounds more like decision fatigue.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_fatigue

Other examples:

-If a trip to the supermarket induces more decision fatigue in the poor than in the rich — because each purchase requires more mental trade-offs — by the time they reach the cash register, they’ll have less willpower left to resist the Mars bars and Skittles. Not for nothing are these items called impulse purchases

-One research study found that the decisions judges make are strongly influenced by how long it has been since their last break. "We find that the percentage of favorable rulings drops gradually from ≈65% to nearly zero within each decision session and returns abruptly to ≈65% after a break."

That makes sense, thanks. I have an issue with 'police thought' though. I was flying through the US airspace once and the plane made a stop at Seattle. We get off the plane, had a snack (and smoke) and then boarded the plane again. I realized shortly afterwards that somebody confiscated my "Knife" magazine (I bought it at the departure airport and the mag was mostly about some survival bullshit and other "tactical" stuff). As I learned (with the help of the crew and reading stuff online later) DHS searches and confiscates "suspicious" items.
Now, do I have a trail or not? What if that magazine was about automatic weapons? Explosives? Controlled substance chemistry? Nuclear physics? Islam? Christianity? Patriotism? Tea party?..oh, shi...
