I wouldn't use any of the ones you linked to, but I would use this. The key feature is the mounting clip that holds it beside the laptop monitor, so it's actually usable on a lap, not just on a table. The reason for DisplayPort is probably because MBPs have two DisplayPort outputs and only one HDMI output, so it has to be DP if you want one on each side.
I wonder if it is anycasted. It appears to be on the Accelerated IT Services ASN - if they do not explicitly own the IP addresses and they lose control of them, that would be a disaster.

You cite Pagerduty, which managed to glean a significant outage from an attempt to deploy DNSSEC, a service virtually none of their customers can actually use.

block crypto is typically not authenticated

Is this simple oversight?

you'd like your cryptosystem to have as much information to work with as possible, and one nice bit of information for it to have is where files begin and end.

Doesn't this leak information? An attacker knows very little about an opaque block, but may be able to use file length and modification order to some advantage.

This is bruto pay. It is massively wrong, almost deceitful.

I think they're presenting average pre-tax income. Singapore tax is between 0% and 20%, and there's 7% VAT. In Germany you're going to be paying between 42 and 45% income tax, and 19% VAT. That means in Singapore you can spend 74.4% of your income on what you want, in Germany 39%. And singapore is much less regulated than Germany, and much better connected trade-wise, which means goods are a lot cheaper there to begin with (not real estate though).

So, for the same bruto pay you'd have double the money in Singapore compared to Germany, meaning those Singaporeans can easily buy 4 or 5 ipads for that average wage, whereas an average Earning german would be doing very well to get 2.5 for their "higher" pay. Hell, the average Singaporean is probably better off than the average Luxembourgian.

Keep in mind that the "average" wage in singapore might be high, but the mean wage is a LOT lower. Same, of course, is true in Luxembourg, but I don't think it's that skewed in Germany.
I've had the same experience. Hadn't really touched C++ since the late 90's and had traumatic memories from those times but working in my own C++11 codebase recently has been both pleasant and surprisingly productive. The language is headed in the right direction but it's a big ship to steer.
And according to new diktat, you will have to turn your phone on while crossing borders (I guess only restricted to TSA yet) [1]. So once it is on, it will let you have all the packet sniffer log dump. And on US borders, non-US citizens will be made to enter their PINs [2].
Key takeaway for me is why is phone logging so much data without there being a need for it, and even eating into data capacity.

I'm not speaking to the validity of whether or not DNSSEC is actually a good idea. Your contention is that it's not. But saying the equivalent of "no one uses it" is demonstrably false.
Yes, there is a backend interface that allows the card owner to direct each individual card to any webpage they want. We do include QR code (printed on the back of the cards) and NFC inside.
It seems like these are meant for mass distribution.

If I got one and wanted to dispose of it, would I throw it in the trash, the recycling or would I need to dispose of it as e-Waste?
Just a minor correction: introversion and shyness are not the same thing. You can be extroverted and shy, or introverted and gregarious[0].

The rest of your comment is still basically correct if you substitute the word introverted for shy, but this is a very common misconception about introversion I wanted to point out.

This is a great resource by Daniel Shiffman. For those who don't know, The Nature of Code was a kickstarter project[0] (he also wrote "Learning Processing" a while ago), and I've contributed to it for the following reason: I've been around people in the arts field a lot, and when it comes to teaching them programming from scratch, nothing beats processing. I'm a huge fan of other languages for my day-to-day use, but for teaching people who have never seen code before, processing is fantastic. (it might not be a coincidence that Daniel works in a Fine Arts department)

There's incredible power in being able to immediately visualize any data structure with such ease. You only need to understand that there's a "setup" function, and a "run-all-the-time-while-this-window-is-open" function (draw), and tell people to jam whatever code they want in there, it will be executed from top to bottom. The result? Usually, incredibly messy code with gigantic nested loops everywhere - but students were invariably learning things, and once in a while, having fun too. Books like these are really important because they give learners a starting point, something to mess around with - which is usually all they need to get started.

This looks great, I'll be going through it soon.

I just want to note that the servers have a ping of ~150 here from India, which is not that fast, but OK. Hopefully some DNS servers will be placed in Asia.

This sounds pretty ridiculous. According to the article he would have started smoking in 1973 - weren't the consequences of smoking pretty well known by that stage? And he continued smoking until his death in the mid-90's when the consequences were clearly known and he was old enough to make his own decision to continue smoking.

Also, how the hell did they come up with that figure? She's now one of the richest people in the world because her husband ignored well known health warnings.

Perhaps they're downvoting too ...
Who in the industry, whether they are "financially aligned" or not, claims that DNSSEC provides you with privacy or encryption? The DNS data is sent in the clear.

No-one who uses DNSSEC is arguing it keeps your DNS records private. It is a straw man argument to suggest otherwise.

DNSSEC is designed to provide tamper-evidence, not privacy.
I am an introvert who masquerades as an extrovert fairly well most of the time. There is, of course, nothing at all wrong with taking joy and comfort in being alone. However, it turns out that a lot of the factors which are correlated with happiness (the article points at love/relationship satisfaction and work satisfaction, for example) are easier to improve when adopting some of the skills and habits associated with extroversion. That doesn't mean learning to enjoy going to the club every night; it means learning how to make very good first impressions and getting along well with co-workers. If an introverted person is already satisfied with their life, then of course they don't "need" to be comfortable with social company, but this article seems to be written for people who are not as satisfied as they could be.
Show HN: Pastebin for CSV
I like the concept, but posting this type of video on Hacker news is going to question the core technology vs the pitch. The way it is demonstrated makes it seem as if the card itself has flash memory, and has a wireless receiver. So basically from what I can devise. Each card has a unique code that basically accesses cloud storage that logs your ip address and location on use, that is understandable (or is it just a site redirect). But, I am a little confused by the core technology of your supposed wireless feature, what am I missing here?
I don't understand what this paper is supposed to indicate. It's a survey and critique of DNSSEC (as a protocol).
> She's now one of the richest people in the world because her husband ignored well known health warnings.

I don't think she gets that much money.

First of all, there's a cap on the punitive damages in many states, so even if a higher sum gets awarded, it is automatically reduced.

Secondly, I believe the punitive damages aren't always paid out to the plaintiff, just the compensatory damages.

Looking at the wording of the actual article, it seems to state that the defendant has to pay it, but it doesn't say how much (if anything) the widow receives.

Yes. I don't have a bias so pointing out the potential availability issue if you make a mistake makes sense.

However, you asked for banks and/or major email providers. I figured it was close enough since I knew that one off the top of my head.
Because the jury said so.
OK I see you indicated it is using NFC. But all the iPhone models from what I know of don't even have NFC, let alone instant response from their proximity.
SideCar: Laptop to Tablet Connector
Thanks for clarifying that bit.
I use Air Display quite a bit with a LiveReload web browser or an additional terminal in the second window, and it works great. Lowering the resolution speeds up the response, but I've never experienced a 4 second lag.

According to Avatron, Apple does not allow them to use USB. [1]

>> Can Air Display connect using a USB cable...

>> No. In order for iOS apps like Air Display to access the USB connector, its developer must be part of Apple’s Made for iPod/iPhone/iPad (MFi) program. As Avatron is not a hardware shop, we are not eligible for this program and therefore cannot support USB.

However, Jailbreaking the iPad is a workaround since you can create a USB private network for Air Display to connect. [2]

It's not a straw man to point out that the protocol that ostensibly "secures the DNS" does not in fact encrypt DNS queries or responses. I wasn't merely saying that DNSSEC records are plaintext (though they are). I was pointing out that the last mile from server to resolver has no cryptography whatsoever. Resolvers don't speak DNSSEC to servers --- it's a server-to-server protocol.

This is a common tactic among DNSSEC advocates. Observation oft he inexplicable lack of last-mile security --- the one place where the Internet could actually benefit from DNS security --- is dismissed as a "straw man". Yes, it's very inconvenient to arguments for DNSSEC adoption. No, that doesn't make it out-of-bounds.
>LessWrong is a site devoted to the cult of the "singularity."

LessWrong is a discussion forum mostly pertaining to psychology, philosophy, cognitive biases, etc,. A frequent topic of discussion is artificial intelligence, but it is hardly centric. Saying that LessWrong is a hangout spot for "singularity cult members" (as you call them) is simply incorrect on multiple levels. Technological singularity is no more than a scientific hypothesis, and it's slightly dramatic to say it perhaps has cult members worshiping and breeding its realism. In actuality technological singularity just has scientists and researches observing/theorizing its stepping stones and outcomes. Maybe you meant transhumanists rather than "singularity cult members", which I suppose makes more since from your other statements.

>Eliezer Yudkowsky, is a secular humanist who is probably most well-known for his Harry Potter fanfiction

Yudkowsky is also a prominent researcher of a variety of artificial intelligence topics which is enhancing the field. Primarily he focuses not on developing a Strong AI (AGI), but rather focusing on safety issues that such a technology would pose.

>the most important thing we could possibly be doing right now is devoting all of our time developing a mathematical model of a "safe AI."

"friendly AI"* and I'm not sure what you're talking about when you say mathematical model, you should do more research it's mostly hypotheses and ideas for system transparency.

>But I tend to take everything I read there with a massive grain of salt.

Maybe you should visit LessWrong and read some articles about cognitive biases so you understand why someone saying "massive grain of salt" makes me want to kill innocent puppies.
The Greed and the Polotics
I don't know how many people are with me out there at the moment, but I've had a gutful of the politicians that represent us, both in the United States, in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and in similar democratic countries. Can we just get together, and form a powerful block of peaceful people, with reason, science, and understanding dictating our way? I'm so, so, sick of seeing money influence politics, or money influencing anything. This has to change.

At the very least, a union of IT people with some common sense.
I was a lot happier when I stopped reading LessWrong. I'm not even trying to be (overly) snarky - I really did used to read LW and I'm very glad I stopped as it was one of the many small things dragging down my well being.
This product uses the same screen as that what is used on the iPad. The iPad screen is plenty fast enough for gaming on an iPad, I don't see why it wouldn't be fast enough for gaming when connected to a laptop.
Any start-up or just the YC start-ups?
the issue is that the tobacco companies knew that their product is both addictive and deadly, but they did not warn their customers of either of these aspects. The fact that cigarettes are widely known to be harmful is immaterial. If you sell a product that is going to kill the end user, you should warn them.
Again I point out historical announcements. Your thesis does not explain the announcement of ALH84001. Based on your thesis, how was that announcement ever permitted? It also predicts that Viking's experiments would never have been allowed, or its results covered up. Gilbert Levin, the PI of one of those experiments, and outspoken proponent that the results indicated life on Mars, has never suggested that that was the case.

What is the mechanism for "further distrust in government"?

Your conjecture that it would "shake the moral foundation of most of the world" is decidedly incorrect. For all of the religions which accept an old universe, there is no conflict. In this Christian faiths this includes, but is not limited to the Catholic Church and Pat Robertson. This also includes Muslim scholars, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_views_on_evolution . I know less about Hindu views on evolution, but I still see no essential conflict there - Brahma propagated life in the entire universe, not just on Earth.

That's over 1/2 of the population of the world right there.

Don't forget that such life could be from Earth, and migrated to Mars through meteorites. That would not require any special sense of creation, and no conflict with any religion at all.

We don't have the ability, given the limited technology we have on Mars, to be able to tell if something is Earth-based life translated to Mars, or an independent biogenesis.

Even with completely different biogenesis, Catholic Church doctrine says there was a special creation of humans, when humans received souls from God, and this special creation is different from the purely physical evolution. Obviously there's no special creation of the human soul in what little biology there may be on Mars.

Historically too, in the 1800s and the rise of modern geology, you see conjectures about there being multiple creations here on Earth, with the fossil evidence being examples of previous creations; only the most recent involved humans, and our special association with God. Which I believe you reference in your last line.

So again I believe that your hypothesis is untenable. It doesn't explain historical events, it doesn't reflect what we know about most of the world's religions and their histories, and it presumes knowledge far in advance of what we actually can have.
Every time I've read the paperwork that came with a device that was able to create H.264 files, the words in the paperwork prohibited me from creating H.264 files with that device and using those files for commercial use. If I wished to use those H.264 files in a commercial setting, I was required to make a separate agreement with MPEG LA.

VP8 has no such restrictions. Google has said on multiple occasions that VP9's licensing will be the same as VP8's. The VP8 and VP9 codec software is released under a BSD license. The VP8 format specification released under a perpetual, irrevocable royalty-free license. [0] Despite VP8 and VP9's marginal inferiority to H.264 [1], they should be the default video format on The Web.

WRT hardware acceleration, the Nexus 5 has hardware assist for encoding and decoding VP8 [2]. Several Smart TV's decode VP9. [3] Given that manufacturers won't have to kowtow to MPEG-LA, the number of devices with hardware assist for VP8 and/or VP9 will continue to grow.

Incidentally: if we want to use words like "bias", let's get mine on the table. DNSSEC is a terrible idea that will harm the Internet without solving any meaningful security problems. I am not open-minded about it.

That does, I suppose, make me "biased" against it. :)
Corrected myself yet again, it seems you are not using a iPhone in the demo. I haven't ever used a Android with NFC before, does it really react instantly when certain proximity with a NFC chip as shown?
Where do you draw the line? If your job is to slap people, or just verbally abuse them, throw smaller stones at them all day, it's okay, because it's not genocide?

It's tiring to do the good thing, it's possibly impossible for every human, then some are put on 24-hour shifts, and some are even aware of their limit in this regard. Then the argument becomes "but he needs the money". And this is the same moral issue (like when doctors are on-call after a full day shift and do 30+ hours and suprise-suprise errors start to happen, when we overburden bureucrats, judges and other public servants and they start to fail on diligence) that should be addressed by society.
This is incorrect. The article you cited refers to an 8th Circuit case which does not apply to Colorado (which is in the 10th Circuit) or any state outside that circuit. It is important to note what happened with the author of this article is known as a Terry Stop. Terry Stops are brought about by reasonable suspicion which is a much lesser standard than probable cause and they must end once the basis of the reasonable suspicion is denied.

The Supreme Court in Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada, 542 U.S. 177 (2004) upheld a Nevada statue which required anyone detained during a Terry Stop to comply with a demand for identification. Colorado has a statute similar to Nevada's which allows an officer to "request" identification rather than compel. However a failure to produce identification most likely would not deny the basis of the officer's reasonable suspicion may cause the individual detained to run afoul of other laws like obstruction. This is an unsettled area of law in many states so there is no hard and fast rule for what happens when a person refuses to identify themselves nationally.

Nevertheless in this case the officer seems to have specifically detained the author under the reasonable suspicion that he solicited an illegal vehicle for hire. Once the passenger told him that he was in an Uber cab (a lawfully hired vehicle in Colorado) the basis for that suspicion was denied and the author should have no longer have been detained or asked for personal identification.

Your point? That's true of most advice in general. It's common sense that if something worked for one person, then perhaps it could work for another.
It took me some time to recognize the problem with range-for (after testing its implementation in VC 2012), and more time to work up the courage to write a Core Language proposal. I also wish next-gen range-for had gotten into C++14, but that's mostly a formality - compilers can (and often do) ship features as soon as they're voted into the Working Paper.

Note that nothing's wrong with "const auto& elem", except that it prohibits modification. On the other hand, "const auto&& elem" will typically not compile (it'll insist on binding to rvalues, which only proxy iterators return).
Yes, but which one do you think is censored/manipulated first?
There are times, when it's better to use something not that popular ;)

Couple of other arguments: The internet is built around decentralization... now all people use the same resolvers. Great. It's good to have proper alternatives.
Also what type of cost will be associated with these type of NFC chips, I can't assume a mass production of these would be inexpensive with those chips. Wouldn't just keeping the USB with the printed metallic ink and a QR code be more economical for mass production? Or will you have two separate models perhaps?

No, it's not simple oversight. Here's my best stab at an explanation:

http://sockpuppet.org/blog/2014/04/30/you-dont-want-xts/

Regarding information leakage: both schemes leak some degree of information (for reasons I get into in that post, XTS is deterministic). But because encrypted filesystems don't have to respect strict block boundaries, they can do a variety of things to limit or eliminate leakage. It's much harder for block device crypto to solve this problem.

Naive encrypted filesystems don't, of course. Like I said, I'd have a hard time making a recommendation between Truecrypt and EcryptFS.
Yes, that is the key in many ways. It allows for a dynamic configuration of preferences that the current system doesn't. It is on the roadmap but we haven't developed it yet. Suggestions are naturally more than welcome.
