Actually, if you look into the DeCSS debacle, this was an early test of the DMCA. A Windows software DVD player leaked its' keys, and this was used to create a small bit of code that broke the DVD CSS DRM scheme.

Of course, you have never used any software that rips DVDs into video files, but if you had, it would almost definitely be based on this code, which was printed on t-shirts as a means of distribution.
That is a little confusing to have on end point for openbsd, openssh and Montreal.
> There was a lot of 'searching' in Ultima IV. You had to find party members, you had to find secret doors. You had to find hidden items.

No kidding. One of the party members, Geoffrey (who was a fighter and represented the virtue of Valor) is behind a locked door in a game where it's not entirely easy to buy keys to said doors.

My father, brother and I had the hardest time of finding the shepherd companion (Katrina). I think in the end we solved the problem by starting the game as a shepherd, which is basically "hard mode" as you have the weakest starting position (level 1 out of 8, whereas other starting characters begin at level 2 or 3), you can never use magic, and you start off on a small island near a ruined city.

Much later on, we found the damn shepherd, south of the starting point in said ruined city, entirely off of any road there.
There are also significant migration costs.

They likely have a toolchain built around CVS that would have a very challenging time being migrated to git.

They also have a workflow that involves tracking file IDs as the import/export files from other projects. Git doesn't do this well.

I fly PnP somewhat regularly and have done Angel Flights in the past. There is no compensation at play for those flights, making them perfectly legal Part 91 operations. I pay, out of pocket, 100% of the costs of those flights.

The FAA has conclusively ruled (first in 1993) that the ability of a pilot, who is paying 100% of the costs of the flight, to claim a charitable deduction for those costs is NOT compensation.

Flight time that you paid 100% of the costs to do is never a problem in terms of a compensation concern for a private pilot.

From:
http://www.faa.gov/news/safety_briefing/2012/media/JulAug201...

As you probably know, the FAA interprets “compensation” as meaning the receipt of anything of value. However, the FAA Chief Counsel’s office has clarified the issue of charitable deductions in a number of interpretations. Specifically, it has stated that “since Congress has provided for the tax
deductibility of some costs of charitable
acts, the FAA will not treat charitable
deductions of such costs, standing alone,
as constituting ‘compensation or hire’ for the purpose
of enforcing [the Federal Aviation Regulations].”
(Note: This interpretation is specifically addressed
in FAA Order 8900.1 (Volume 4, Chapter 5, Section
1, paragraph 4-922) which also states that “inspectors
should not treat the tax deductibility of costs as
constituting ‘compensation or hire’ when flights are
conducted for humanitarian purposes.”)

It would be hard to argue that Flytenow's operations fall into the category of "conducted for humanitarian purposes", plus the fact that money is changing hands, so this situation isn't at all like AngelFlight, PnP, Dove Flights (Citation Special Olympics airlift), etc. in the eyes of the FAA.

I... don't have much of a saving. I save just enough to take a year off to learn Android and move toward that field hopefully soon.

During that year, I've worked my ass off with girls mostly doing pick up artist kind of deal. I have a few friends are really prominent in this circle.

Since my funding is drying up, I've given up on improving my pick up skill, I've attain a decent level right now, but for now I'm working my ass on studying android and getting a job in it.

I've never had a problem with friends even with my horrible introvertness. I had problems keeping them because of my lack of keeping in touch skills. It's getting better though.

I'm 28.

> But I cannot find any buddies for my lifestyle (go out, meet girls, talk about business, travel..).

You can't find buddies to fit all aspect of your life style. I find that you need friends that fit certain aspect so you have multiple group.

I have university and highschool friends to just hang out and just interpersonal talk and maybe programming. I have another set to just talk about programming.

I also have another social group of friends that I go out and do pick up with. In general these group of friends aren't wealthy, who am I to complain? Ha, but they're mostly broke with deadend job but they sacrifice wealth for chasing girls. Well at least that's just my observation, I tried to balance both but well it's a tough.

edit:

If you really need to find buddies to chase girls, you can try to find a pick up community.
I am not repeatedly missing what Docker does; all I'm pointing out is that Docker is currently insufficient as a true isolation solution from a security and/or other perspectives.

Again, I'm sure Docker is appropriate for some specific situations, but it is not currently an appropriate general container solution if you care about security.

CITATION please. I think we have never seen such things. We've not had studies that control for all other factors and then conclude that users don't want control and privacy. I think your claim is flat out wrong. You're taking the fact that most users won't sacrifice by using a lower-quality, obscure thing for privacy and control, and leaping to the baseless conclusion that nobody cares about these things. I think you're completely wrong.
Zocalo, sure...but Cognito makes complete sense. The word incognito basically means anonymous. The prefix 'in-' frequently negates the meaning of the word it's attached to. So when you remove the negation from anonymous, you get a known identity, which seems very apropos to an identity service.
Thanks for the suggestion, I looked through that Coursera course. I'm reasonably comfortable with the language fundamentals, it's more about the toolchain and using third-party libraries like the Slick ORM. I find the quickstart inscrutable (maybe it's just me).

I became familiar with what Bitcoin actually was via an article posted here about 7 or 8 months ago. It was a very long article, but it started from zero assumptions and worked through designing a crypto currency, bringing up each problem and then explaining how Bitcoin solves that problem.

I was actually just discussing this with a buddy at lunch today. I'm far from CO or WA so all I know is what I read online, but it seems like all of the providers are small dispensaries. There seems to be a lot of room for someone to move in and become the "Budweiser" of weed -- a larger company that sells low-cost weed at scale.

My guess is that there are already some richer entities positioned to take advantage of that once more states legalize. My buddy actually said he thinks that's one of the reasons it's taken so long -- the powers that be are probably holding off legalization until they can get their money and resources into place to take advantage.

My family used to have a hilarious issue where callers hanging up in the moment between the last ring and the answering machine would get called back by the answering machine. Thus every so often we would get messages that were the sound of a phone ringing followed by "hello! ... hello? ... ". Never really figured out why; it wasn't a feature of the machine as far as we could tell and it simply went away after a few years.

On topic, I think the phone system's routing is much less perfect than people think. But I can't imagine how you would go about reporting this; I have a hard time finding anyone at my telecom's customer service that even understands the most basic tethering questions or what plan I'm on.
So in other words, your comment really wasn't about Solaris, it was about ecosystem and community.

As for "vibrant" or "growing", I don't know how you would objectively measure those things or to what objective metric you would relatively compare them to.

Even if the Solaris community is not what you desire, the technology is still certainly significantly advancing almost every year.
Have you heard of or tried Ultima V: Lazarus?

It's a fantastic total conversion of Ultima V using the Dungeon Siege engine. It requires that you have Dungeon Siege or Legends of Aranna installed (won't work with Dungeon Siege 2). The (almost) complete Ultima V with extra sidequests and the option of becoming an evil Avatar. It's one of the best game mods I've ever played. I believe Richard Garriott himself gave Team Lazarus a big huzzah.

The way this was written allowed me to scan and come back here going "Why did you even share this, there's nothing here."--so I looked back and most of the content seems to be in the slides, which can only be accessed by a single link. The picture of the "lessons learned" slide made me think that's all there was.

Instead of a picture that was taken from the video, embed the video.

Instead of a picture of one of the slides that--to my interpretation admitted "we don't have very confident results"--include the presentation.

As it is, this article's presentation (not the slides) lost me after 40 seconds.

http://qr.ae/Y0KXh

I am interested in getting a sense of what companies use for their financial "stack".

It would be great to answer the following questions:

- What type of company do you run/are financial manager of? tech startup, small business, large business, consulting firm, etc.

- What accounting software do you use? Quickbooks desktop, Quickbooks online, Xero, Freshbooks, Sage etc.

- How much do you spend on accounting? One time software purchase, monthly subscriptions, outsourced accountants etc.

- Who is your business bank?

- What banking services do you use? Wires, ACH, electronic invoicing, business bill pay, international payments etc.

- How much do you pay in bank fees every month? Fixed monthly fees, variable prices for transactions, any regular punitive fees etc.

Very likely, and even if it were not the case you could still have a net decrease in DUIs with an increasing amount of marijuana DUIs.

I am pretty sure there have been some studies that show people under the influence of marijuana are less likely to drive than people under the influence of alcohol so it just depends on whether marijuana is replacing alcohol or not.

My first ever computer game that I got into was Utima II on the Apple ][e.

I have played every Ultima since. I was also in beta and then a long time on UO -- which for me was my golden age of gaming as I worked in the Intel Game lab and played 4 accounts on 4 machines side-by-side on what was one of the fastest corporate inet connections at the time!

I still reminisce about Ultima and UO a lot.

I still think I have the Ultima V cloth map somehwere... I used to be fluent in the Rune Alphabet when I was in 7th? grade and my buddy morgan and I would write school notes in the Runes...

EDIT: in one of the Ultima games, I recall finding a bug where you could dupe ships -- I had oceans full of ships that I could use to bridge between continents/islands...

Anyone recall this dupe bug and how it was done?
Show HN: Readpiles – Create a pile of good reads
> I theoretically could use a set of lockpicks for something other than picking locks. But we both know what they are for.

We don't know whether they're for the purposes of robbery, professional locksmithing, sport, or education. So no, we don't both know that they're for illegitimate purposes, which is the relevant distinction (as opposed to "are they for picking locks or not" which is neither here nor there, although it's a piece of misdirection which would do a prosecuting attorney proud). Thankfully, neither legislators nor judges are that willfully obtuse. In all but 4 states of the US, lockpicks are not prima facie illegal for unlicensed citizens to carry.

By this very analogy popcorntime should be legal to create, legal to host, legal to download, legal to possess, and illegal to use for piracy. As it should be.

"It's quite inappropriate to speculate on a person's private health matters in a public forum."

I don't agree at all. And what are you basing that on? Is there some "rules of public forum" that has been agreed upon and accepted by the internet rule setting committee? Is there anything in the HN faq that states this?

Even more importantly, Gates is a very public and well known person. I'm not making comments on some unknown individual who works in marketing at some YC company (or Microsoft for that matter). Or an HN commenter.

It's totally appropriate to speculate on his health [1] (and in fact the media does this all the time about many well known people). That is not the same as saying people on HN (such as yourself) might not find it inappropriate (obviously I'm being downvoted so many people reading this particular post don't seem to agree with me.)

Lastly, the richest or near richest man in the world doesn't need to be protected from some anonymous person's speculation.

[1] Not the same as saying HN likes the speculation or it's appropriate for HN. But you didn't say that. You said "health matters in a public forum".
I may yet be disappointed but I'm expecting them to open source it after release as they do with the other LLVM changes they make.

I think it could work with anything based on C libraries (C++ linkage sounds a bit trickier) but it has been very much designed to operate with the Obj-C libraries.

At this point in the debate it has been observed on a number of occasions that ranking officials at the NSA are dishonest. They have made comments both sworn, and in general press releases / statements (on the record) that have later been proven false; and we have reason to believe those officials knew they were making false or misleading statements at the time. So in short, the NSA, and the intelligence community in general have destroyed their credibility.

Do you include William Binney, 30 year veteran of the NSA, in that cohort?

The text of the notice states, "Attached as Exhibit A is a series of screenshots taken from within the applications of each Project that includes images of copyrighted works available through the Projects"

In other words, the notice seems to be based on the idea that because copyrighted works are available through the application, the application is an appropriate target for a takedown notice, on the basis of some screenshots.

Maybe I'll issue a takedown notice for https://github.com/chromium/chromium and attach some screenshots of YouTube video listings.
Those are simply the days congress is in session. The definition of "work" for a politician is not so simple. Is meeting with "constituents" (mostly lobbyists of various kinds) work? What about meeting with staff in DC and the home office? Meeting other politicians? Government officials? Travel back and forth to DC? Trips abroad? Talk with press? Various PR events? And of course probably the biggest single time sink of all: raising money for election campaigns? I bet they are a lot busier than most working people.

Anyway I doubt there is any relationship between the amount of time the legislature is in session and actual results. One data point: the Texas legislature is in "session" only every other year - typically five months - and they seem to be doing as well as most other states. So I doubt too few days in session is even in the top 10 things that are wrong with our legislature.
One of the things I really like about Heap Analytics is the "no instrumentation" approach. You just drop in some JS and you're good to go.

Also, we're using HTML5 + Trigger.io (a YC-backed PhoneGap-like tool). Do you support that toolchain?

[edit: Added another question]
I think Amazon's pricing example is based on a fairly unrealistic use case where you only sync at the end of a session. With real world applications, most of them sync multiple times during a session, e.g., every 5 minutes, every 30 minutes, every time a significant atom of work is done (e.g., Gmail saving drafts). With mobile devices it's common to turn them off abruptly, or lose connectivity abruptly. A user's not going to enjoy the experience if nothing they did in their session on their phone is available when they fire up their laptop because the phone app only syncs at the end of a session.
