If releasing the code is an issue, how about a compromise instead? How about releasing the code to a handful of independent third party firms and academics to determine for themselves if the code is safe. Does the AEC have an audit process in place where the code is checked and is there a testing environment of which the code is strongly tested for issues?

Given the undeniable complexity of such an algorithm, it would take more than a single audit to verify that it is secure. I don't doubt there is something up in the process somewhere, when it comes to vote redistribution I believe if not done correctly and properly tested, there could be some issues in that part alone.

Or better yet, release the data and allow academics from multiple institutions to independently run their own counts and then see if the results match up with that of the AEC's. I think that could be another way without releasing the code and verifying the results are accurate.
Well, one reason would be that your web font would be 134Mb or so? (looking at the size of the comprehensive Noto download)

The other is simple practicality - these things take time to develop, you can either wait until all the glyphs are done, or release subsets that cover languages as you work; a subset that covers part of a language isn't very useful but subsets that cover whole languages are.

Part of the answer is that Unicode has a lot of characters, and web pages use only a few, so for web fonts it makes sense to have the user download only ones likely to be used.

Another part is that some CJK characters look somewhat different in C, J, and K. http://www.unicode.org/faq/han_cjk.html#3

The iPhone doesn't change IBM 's opportunity because we're not talking about replacing one device specific infrastructure with a different device specific infrastructure. The BlackBerry specific systems IBM would replace are likely to be replaced with device agnostic not iPhone specific in most cases.

The only meaningful differences for IBM I see are that it can throw a bunch of iPhones into the deal and bundle them under the service contract with Apple's blessings and that IBM can use iPhones in literature and dog and pony shows.
To the good advice on this thread, let me add:

You need to think about your objectives for the jobs you're considering.

The idea that you're going to leave school and fall into the perfect job is, if you think about it for a moment, kind of silly.

For most of us, it takes several jobs --- each eating as many as a couple years of our lives --- to figure out exactly where our careers are taking us, and what kinds of roles we should be occupying.

What is it you want to learn to do? What career problem do you want to start on first? Think about it like a role playing game character sheet, but instead of "Charisma" and "Constitution", you have "Earning Potential" and "Responsibility" and "Technical Skills" and "Business Skills" and the like. You get a certain number of points to spend each (serious) job you take. Have you thought about which stats you want to boost?

They're not really "for" a language. They are optimized subsets of the same font that only contain glyphs from one or more languages to minimize the file size.

I thought Mars lost water and have thin atmosphere because of loss of its magnetic field.

Mars owes its dry and dusty appearance to its wispy atmosphere, less than 1 percent of the thickness of the Earth's. But it wasn't always that way: The Red Planet formerly had a much thicker atmosphere that probably allowed for liquid water on the surface, an atmosphere that was depleted when the planet's magnetic field faded away.

The BMW 320i starts at $32,750 in the US. This is a relatively recent development though. The 328i (previously the entry model) starts at $37,300, which is more, but I wouldn't characterize $35k as "way" cheaper.

You don't understand the system. Surplus votes are distributed based on preferences, so order does matter because preferences will be different from one ballot to the next. Which ballots fill a candidate's quota determines which preferences don't get assigned.

Ask HN: From a semantic perspective, how do you feel about bootstrap?
This isn't about whether to use bootstrap or not. Both sides of the argument have their place. But I just wanted to know what developers and designers feel about the way in which bootstrap has to be integrated. The multiple classes, the use of classes like row, col- that break away from the rules of keeping thing semantic etc. How could this be improved? Can it be improved? Is it a shortcoming of CSS standard or a fault of the bootstrap project? Your thoughts.
Really it was. I used it before IBM bought it and it was awful. Good technology but execrable UI.
I don't know how many people own a 3 series here but as a person that owns one I feel that this title should be more about the fact that this competes with a Prius more than a 3 series. If it has $35k price point it makes it cost ~10k more than a stock Prius or the same price as a Prius with most of the options. It would cost about the same as if the $7,500 is extended, which I think will be extended. Helping Tesla allows speaks to both parties ideals. It helps the environment, is an example of the american dream and can be framed as a reason for cutting taxes.
In case you missed gnachman's comment above, the performance work in the nightlies isn't in 2.0 yet.
I agree, this was probably a bad example because involvement seems a bit of a stretch (although posting on a known black hat forum might change some variables).

What if you had only told your friend of the particular vulnerability and he used that information to write an exploit?
Cheers, we are trying to get in touch with them, so as to maybe even do something together. Thank you, Amure!
You forgot about security.
It's interesting that you refer to iOS as "the standard mobile platform" when Android has been the market share leader for some time.
Writing an exploit is also not illegal. Using the exploit is a problem.

If you tell your friend about a vulnerability, and he writes an exploit and then uses it to break into a retail chain and steal credit card numbers, then you have a problem. Not because finding the vulnerability is illegal, but because there is now a chain of evidence that might link you to something that is unambiguously illegal.

You won't be held liable for unwittingly enabling the crime; you'll be accused of sharing the vulnerability with the express purpose of enabling the crime (actually, maybe, technically, with the purpose of enabling any crime; conspiracy laws get weird). That intent will be something that needs to be proved in court.

That liability is still a stretch, doubly so if, the moment you find out that your friend is doing something crazy, you inform the authorities.

> Google is in an ugly place right now.

I disagree. Massively.

After Elon Musk, and possibly partly inspired by him, Page has driven Google to be, by far, the most ambitious tech titan in the game right now.

Looking past G+ and its nonsense (which is an ugly thing, granted.):
- Loon is in motion, and in conjunction with recent drone acquisitions, will likely bring internet to currently unconnected billions.
- Self-driving cars are actually happening.
- The smart contact lens for glucose monitoring will change the lives of diabetics.
- Investments and acquisitions in AI and Robotics speak to a MASSIVE ambition in that sphere.
- The recent announcements in their consumer lines with TV, Nest, Auto, and wearables are extremely competitive.

And these are just the things we know about.

Compare all this to Apple (which I love, but a Beats acquisition, a bigger iPhone, and a watch coming? Woop-de-doo.), and Facebook (how's Slingshot doing?), it's not even the same game anymore.

To say that Google is an ugly place, or that they're "beholden to the advertising agency", is naive to the bigger picture.

The preferences on quota surplus votes are transferred at a fractional value, so every ballot is counted.

It didn't always used to be though - prior to computers, to establish the fractional vote transfers, a "sample" of surplus votes to a quote used to be randomly selected.

>I can't help but focus on the failings of the reasoning of the answer given here. I keep getting flashbacks to the late 1990s when you got that answer, but swap "Javascript" for "Java".

Well, I see a failing of the reasoning behind your substitution of JS with Java too, which you made only because both languages are touted as "just learn that". I find that looking at similarities never tells us anything important ("A baseball is like a planet, in that it's round"). What's important is knowing the differences.

And the differences are many.

Javascript is the de facto AND de jure standard on the web, while Java wasn't.

Javascript is used all over the web -- Java applets never really caught on, while Java only caught on for enterprise and server-side stuff really.

Java was the child of a single company, and not a very big one at that, Javascript is a standard and has competing implementation from all three gorillas (Google, MS, Apple).

Java had a huge competitor on the same domain, .NET, and several smaller competitors for web apps and server work (RoR, PHP, Node, now Go etc). Javascript has no competitor (Flash died, and Dart is Google only, and compiles to JS anyway).
As a car nut, this is incredibly exciting news. I love cars; I love driving. As long as I've been driving, a car has been about more than getting from point A to point B.

The Model S is lust-worthy, but it is very expensive, starting at close to $70k. Once you bump up to the 85 kWh model (for the range), the price tag jumps to $80k. As an enthusiast, the interesting model is the 85P at $93,400.

From a performance standpoint, the 85P variant is on par with a BMW M5; a turbocharged V8 powered super-saloon. That's a really astonishing feat for an all-electric sedan, considering that the M5 is the canonical super-saloon.

The new 2015 BMW M3 (4-door version) starts at $62k. If Tesla offers a "P" variant of the Model III that competes with the M3, they'll have plenty of room to price it competitively.

I'm nearly giddy with excitement at that prospect. I currently drive an M3 (coupe), and the Model III 85P is a car that I would jump at in a heartbeat.
Well, in the US you also get $7500-$10000 worth of tax credits depending on the state that you live in, and you also save on maintenance and fuel.

I can see the Model 3 selling in California for $35k after tax credits (which is $45k before).
Not to mention Java is still the #2 language used, and #1 on the enterprise.
One thing that it's important to remember is that pure electric cars are very different beasts from gas powered cars, including hybrids. With a hybrid you add equipment and you put a premium on weight, which creates a lot of complexity and difficult engineering. Electric cars have plenty of difficulties but by eliminating all of the gas engine parts it greatly simplifies the vehicle, which potentially can give rise to cost savings.

>That's probably more a matter of taste. Go has a reflect package which allows the programmer to determine type at runtime, making generics unnecessary.

That's not "making generics unnecessary". That's "using an ugly hack that throws typesafety away instead of a proper solution".

And it's more familiar than generics, that's what Java had before they understood that they had to have generics.
It wouldn't be a matter of wasting time, it would be a manner of a person having to plan ahead before parking. If you want to park in a busy neighborhood, you may find that you can't actually do so for several hours, if others ahead of you in line have reserved those spaces. This is completely fair since everyone is treated equally, there is no 'wasted time' in this system that wouldn't have been wasted in the current system provided the spots are maximally full at all times. The current system results in some people getting lucky, others driving around in circles trying to find a spot, and others completely giving up. All of that time is being wasted. Beyond that the folks driving around are congesting the roadways, resulting in additional negative effects on the overall efficiency of allocating parking.

The main issue with designing a reservation based system is how efficient it is with regards to spots being continually filled, along with the constraint that it be considered fair by all participants. It seems like a design challenge but the current greedy algorithm probably sets the bar pretty low. It would be interesting to simulate.
While I love Tree Style Tab, I think separate windows for separate topics is more useful than trees, and I think saving windows/topics as sessions using the Session Manager extension is more useful than bookmarking, especially seeing as how Session Manager supports appending windows to previously saved sessions.

They're comparing it to the 3 series because that's the market they're going after. They don't want it to be perceived as the latest eco-mobile but rather competitive with the "ultimate driving machine."

I don't consider bugs in code a matter of accuracy of the model. And while you can compare the accuracy levels of various models, having a compiler do the inference or you do the inference doesn't chance the accuracy. I also don't subscribe to the idea that the right model for a scientific or statistical phenomenon is a random event.

as a car guy, you should know that the p85+ is not on par with either the m5 comp or the e63 amg s. it's not as fast to 60mph/100kph and is not nearly as fast in the quarter mile. it's also significantly cheaper than either of those.

the p85+ is 300 pounds heavier and produces 150hp LESS horsepower and torque than either of those cars. do the math.

the new m5 and e63 are rip-your-face-off-fast. they run 11 second quarter miles with subpar traction. mb and bmw see tesla coming and they know the only thing that keeps them at the top of the game is pure, unadulterated horsepower so that's what sets them apart at the top end.

having said all that, teslas have nicer interiors and that really big touch screen is pretty cool. all the ui software in german cars basically sucks.
