I calculated his basic salary, if he's asking for £4,378 for two days worth of work per week for 6 months, that means he make £xx,xxx per 6 months... Man, I wish he was making more period. This guy no doubt deserves more!
It also may just be that they are capturing more of the long tail.

High CPC terms, like class action lawsuit ads, have been saturated for years. Now you see ads for low margin and low cost items as well.
This is just pedantry completely ignoring the main point - of course, each tcp/ip connection sends bytes in both directions. But the connection to a residential customers (Netflix users) are very asymmetric - they are almost always initiated by user's initiative and have users request a lot of data flowing in their direction, while almost none flows in the opposite direction. It's not like Netflix just decides to send me a gigabyte of a movie. It's also not like we exchange gigabytes routinely in both directions. It's me asking to get the movie and paying for the privilege of getting it. The fact that technically a tiny stream of bytes also gets in other direction is irrelevant here.

When is facebook finally going to understand that people are not on facebook to buy shit. They're there to communicate with people.
"It even said some company made a claim against them (even though they were private)."

The claim system is automatic based on Shazam-style audio "fingerprints"; companies basically pre-complain about any uploads that match audio sources they supply to Google that the claim copyright on.

On one hand, I can sort of understand Google's position with this proactive system because the alternative would mean they have to manually deal with probably hundreds of thousands, if not millions of copyright claims.

On the other hand, it is horribly broken in a lot of ways. In addition to not caring if your video is private, there are basically two classes of people (the ones with lots of subscribers who generate a lot of adwords hits for Google and everyone else), with the former class having a much easier time of disputing bad claims. Also I've run into situations where music that was creative commons licensed was flagged with attempts to unflag it automatically denied (with no legal basis to do so) and most amusingly(?) of all, Google offers a bunch of public domain recordings they suggest you use for your videos, but using them is almost guaranteed to generate a copyright claim from some third party that you then have to manually dispute.

I basically stopped using YouTube for videos because there seems to be like a 80% chance anything you upload will be auto-copyright-flagged, even if there is no recognizable music in it and it isn't worth the hassle to deal with the system.
You have it backwards. All the piles of evidence that they shot down the MA flight indicate they probably also had the capability two days ago to shoot down the AN-26, and therefore probably did.
...the NSA would love that most of all. The vast majority of programmers lack the knowledge, skill, or both required to correctly implement anything related to cryptography.
Did you really mean to suggest that telling people how many children they can have is good? This is an odd definition of good.
I see; if the point is that /dev/urandom doesn't even block when it is uninitialized, that is valid.

This system call (when used to access urandom) will either block on urandom to be initialized, or else fail loudly with -EAGAIN, which is an improved interface.
The value HN brings to a story like this is the in-depth, rational analysis that's much better than the news can muster.

Already in the wayback thread on this, I've discovered a news tracking startup and an in depth discussion for people who take this exact flight and route.

This wasn't a plane passing between Baghdad and Kabul or some similar dangerous route. There's been a couple of other flying related accidents today also. This is the notable one.

If you take a plane frequently (like I expect lots of people here do), you'll probably be interested in this story and the kind of in-depth discussion that only HN can bring to bear on it.

edit Just found out the relative of a person I know was on the plane and is now dead.
It's interesting how the right to be forgotten seems so desirable

Sorry, but this is a complete mischaracterization of the right. I've been having the same conversation with Yonatan Zunger on G+, he tried cracking a similar joke there.

https://plus.google.com/u/0/+YonatanZunger/posts/856eZ9hWtm3

It's a flagrantly specious argument.

Compelling public right to know in an international incident, attack on the public, by armed militants operating in defiance of local and international law.

That passes any reasonable grounds for denying an RTBF request.

Now, ask me about the identities of individuals whose passports are shown on a video linked here, and I might be open to debate (though this raises the question of whether or not RTBF is ceded on death).﻿

If you're interested in an informed discussion of RTBF, I'd strongly recommend Max Huijgen's threads on G+:

Nobody says ISPs should ignore short term profit/loss considerations. However, more and more people are saying by ignoring everything else, they are making their customers and themselves a disservice. This is a dangerous game, and a business which thinks they can make money while pissing off their customers is putting itself in danger. Sometimes it can be sustained, but in many cases in the long run the customers would either leave or set the regulators on them.

Fair point. However, for this specific event other news channels are good enough. More importantly posting politically charged stuff on HN may over time increase the incidence of this:

On the other hand, it's a CSV parser so it's fairly easy to explain the features and list all of them (rather than try to select some important ones).
> If someone were pushing data it would be called a DoS or DDoS. An attack is when someone sends unrequested data to try and break your network.

Not always. Backup is popular today - as I look at my simple home utilization I push about 30% of the ingress up to "somewhere".

> Double billing for a single service is a neat trick if you can pull it off.

This is how every communications network has been ideally built from the beginning and this "trick" has been played out time and time again starting starting with the PSTN. It's not uncommon, but is also isn't ideal - unless you are the carrier.
UA has the very same capability since USSR days and therefore probably did.
Creating My First NES Game
None of Microsoft's Xbox IP that lasted originated at Microsoft. Bungie's work was on the Mac and PC at the same time for Halo. I know that, I was there, I saw the demos from Alex and Jason at E3 in 1999. Literally, what happened was: Halo was THE game at E3, but no one could talk about it because it was behind closed doors. Microsoft basically said "What's the best IP we can get, the best game out there? The one everyone is excited about?" and so, they went to Bungie with a semi-truck full of cash.
I don't know, but at least their articles usually have pretty good content as opposed to, say, businessinsider and those forbes blogs that seem to craft articles by randomly pasting together a bunch of PR pieces and slapping an HN-related click-bait headline on it.
I have very strong opinions on Civ 4 vs 5. Civ 4 is the kind of game that I'll install, then uninstall a week later after too many 3am or 4am nights. Civ 5 has the same 'just one turn'-ism, but it's not fun, which is weird. Any one city site is much the same as another - that feeling of finding an awsome site in Civ 4 is gone. I also miss the feeling of moving borders from 4 - the first owner of a hex has it permanently. You can have a massive city, but if a tiny village got the hex first... culture means nothing.

It was weird when it came out, that people were lauding a hex map as perfect. In reality it adds very little (given diagonals, it's less freedom of movement). But the strangest thing was... why go for a cell structure at all? In an age where you can calculate real distances, it's a massive throwback. Civ games are about resource management - cell-based maps are not fundamental to this.

Not to mention that they really gouge for the most minor DLC. But llike you, I perceive myself in a minority - Civ 5 is one of the most-played games on Steam.
A curious statement. How were they doing that? By letting the rebels take over their cities and airfields? By letting Russia have Crimea?
Ask HN: Is there an app to find similar fonts across platforms
Thanks everyone for the input. Quick answer to most common questions :

* The video you can see on the landing page (steady.stupeflix.com) were all taken w/ Steady. Try using it outside on a sunny day for best results !

* Steady is not yet compatible with iOS8. Working on it ;)Same for iPad and iTouch.

* We use gyroscope informations to know the attitude of the iPhone while you shoot a video, and uses this information to correct the video.

* The app is not available yet on Android. We're pretty much tied to the iPhone right now, as the algorithm relies on a given gyro / camera pair to work.

If you like the app, a kind review on the App Store would be appreciated !
Thanks for taking the time to try it

I initially had rsi pains in my wrists and pinkies, after I recovered I switched to a Kinesis and was convinced it helped keep the rsi away for 2 years or so.

Recently the pain came back worse than ever, this time accompanied with quite serious thumb pains, I certainly do not blame the Kinesis as it is most surely a combination of many factors (poor habits, stress, workload, etc.), but the layout does increase the load on the thumbs so I think that contributed.

For now I have switched back to a cheap Microsoft dome keyboard as it is easier to type with using only my forefinger and middle finger (and easily allows me to avoid using thumbs and pinkies).

Of course this is all just my personal experience, for years the Kinesis was lovely and I may still go back to it, as always YMMV.

Did anyone figure out who the guy was -- his original client? Was he CIA or was he in the black ops commercial company -- the one that wrote Shepard? Are we to presume that Timothy joined the organization the same way Will does? Is Timothy in the CIA or the company, or does it many any difference? Was part of Timothy's reward the hooker he was playing doctor with? High risk reward there -- torture on one hand, and money and hookers on the other. Did he steal Will's girl too?

Then at the end -- his client tells Timothy that he has been there for 3 weeks and they were closing that facility. Does that mean that Timothy was in charge of how long Will was held? Which friends picked him up at the end?? -- does that mean some of then really survived? And what info were the interrogators after? If it was how Will did it, why is he suddenly best friends with a guy who set him up and will reveal all? Is it implying that the CIA/black ops uses these techniques as a standard recruitment procedure?

I personally don't think that fear based people are very smart. And I think that a little moral fiber also enhances IQ. This character said he didn't care about rules of nations, and then says that he has to continue because it is wrong. Doesn't compute. He doesn't even seem to register that he was endangering his friends. Not that people like this don't exist. Maybe that was the point, that power is in the hands of narcissistic children with crippled moral fiber. If so, there's nothing new in the computer age about that one.

CF has popped up more than once when looking at treatments for NGLY1.

In fact, the first ever treatment we tested in the lab was a read-through compound often used to treat some forms of CF: gentamycin.

It didn't work for Bertrand, but it may still work for other NGLY1 patients.

Phenotypically, there are some overlaps with NGLY1 and CF, so there may be commonalities in the underlying mechanisms of harm.

I'll ask the NGLY1 researchers what they think about a CF-NGLY1 link.
EUIV is definitely a 4x. There's exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination. Almost every game will have the latter three, and depending on which country you play, the first item can be either fundamental or irrelevant.
Let me spell it out for you then - Ukraine had no interest in shooting down it's own cargo plane. Russia would not likely risk firing a missile from within it's own territory. Who does that leave us? Maybe the people who claim ownership of the space, have the means, and are tweeting about their supposed AN-26 shootdowns? If this is trolling, it's bad trolling.
However horrific the civilian plane's shooting down is, i don't think accidental shoot down would qualify as a war crime. If anything, the celebratory message about supposed successful shooting down of one more military cargo plane confirms that the rebels, it it were rebels' missile, were intending to shoot at an enemy military target .

Anyone have any opinion on React vs Polymer?

It's something i've been struggling with quite a bit. Conceptually i love Polymer, and really want to switch, but React's serverside rendering is just hard to beat. I'm scared of showing users page load spinners while my 20 Polymer components all load their data heh
Not enterprise kind-of large, but I'm in the process of building a booking web app (https://zapla.co) using React and Backbone Models/Collections.

Kiev declared that 'terrorists' (familiar word, isn't it?) are in Lugansk and Donetsk and started shooting over whole population regardless.

Touching story. A reminder that for all the gadgets we get, the internet is really about connecting and helping people.
I appreciate this is "for C++ programmers" but as a Python programmer I'm still interested.

I'm trying to figure out why destructuring something into multiple variables causes problems for move semantics. It seems to me that if you have an object with move semantics in a particular area of memory, and you tell the compiler "I wish to use the name X to refer to this field, and the name Y to refer to that field", that should be fine - as long as you don't store a reference to those fields, or pass them to somebody else (the usual restrictions of borrowed code). The compiler already knows that some names refer to allocations on the stack or the heap, it seems like you should be able to add new names for existing variables at compile-time (as opposed to runtime, using pointers which would add all the horrible borrowing issues Rust tries to avoid).

Is it really just that when you create a new name, the compiler has to create a new allocation to back it, even if it would require making a redundant copy of the interesting data?
For me the difference between pricing for mobile/desktop is mainly on the display side. I pay less for mobile due to lower awareness effect. Across different companies I have noticed that every click on a desktop display ad is accompanied by around 3-4 additional awareness driven clicks. Whiles on mobile there are very few additional clicks driven.

On the search side I am fairly indifferent.
No one said Sequoia Capital is successful because of YC but that Sequoia has probably made more money (in absolute terms) from YC portfolio companies than YC itself.
>Once urandom is initialized, the idea that it can ever "run out of entropy" is nonsensical; urandom is structurally the same as a stream cipher keystream generator, and we generally don't fret about whether AES-CTR keystreams will "run out of key". Nonetheless, the belief that urandom will sporadically "run out of entropy" is virulent.

If the seed value for urandom were compromised or you were unsure of its provenance (some systems carry over from last boot), would you not be safer calling /dev/random for something sensitive like key generation? What if you did not trust the PRNG that urandom used?
Thank you for replying.

My memory of the discussion is fuzzy, but I talked a bit for a couple of days with this biologist and then I wrote a long blog post with my thoughts. My recollection is that my conclusion was that due to the way that NGLY1 works, Bertrand should be deficient in a number of proteins that work as, among other things, cell channels, including but not limited to the CFTR, which is the one involved in CF.

So it seems to me he should have some of the same issues, like specific deficiencies, high acidity, etc.

How do you manage ssh keys once deployed? From personal experience using both systems, my thinking is that once you start deploying ssh keys, in a larger user/server environment, you have a massive rats nest. There is little to no life cycle management.

Fail2ban works and should be deployed regardless of whether you are using usernames/passwords or keys. I just checked one of our bastion hosts, and there are 384 banned IPs (on a rolling 30 day basis). This info is useful, and can be fed into other systems, like edge network devices.

There is actually a good article about this @ http://www.networkworld.com/article/2164048/tech-primers/ssh...
Infinite-Watch Gold (should Wiz Khalifa sign him)
You can do both and use denyhosts instead of fail2ban. That one doesn't even require multiple authentication failures. Known-bad hosts are blocked because enough other people blocked them: http://stats.denyhosts.net/stats.html
And take a look at those permissions on your machine and see what they show for you:

crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 8 Jul 15 11:27 /dev/random

crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 9 Jul 15 11:27 /dev/urandom

So, if the default permission is read/write by any user, what limitation should this new syscall add?
Ask HN: How secure would this password be, practically speaking?
So I currently have a rule for myself that I don't let any new passwords be shorter than my previous password. As you may guess, my passwords are getting quite long after a few years of having to change every N days. This got me thinking.

I know it's low entropy, but as a guess on how most modern brute force attacks work, I was wondering how secure something like this would be, both conceptually and practically:

1aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I'm not seeing anything that claims that Seq's success is based on YC.
> Ukraine had no interest in shooting down it's own cargo plane.

Cargo -- no. MA plane -- very much.

Their so-called ATO (in reality, genocide) failed just recently. Some of their troops were surrounded at UA-RU border by rebels, they are desorganised, some are fleeing into Russia even.

At this point Kiev needs something.
