While I am not too familiar with how Stellar/Ripple work, I assume they are sending an un-encrypted version of your Stellar private key, or perhaps the equivalent of a bitcoin master private key [1].

I say un-encrypted based on their claim that the code + username can be used to gain access; typically sites will encrypt the recovery code with your password. Based on this, I conjecture that they decided in favor of usability in the usability-security tradeoff.

I'm looking for something with solid EPS import and export. So far, I've found Sketch flakey (some things imported incorrectly, other things cause visual glitches), OmniGraffle great except when I export a document as EPS which has other EPS-imported elements embedded in it, they appear to be rasterised (which defeats the point). And that's pretty much it–Pixelmator, despite becoming more of a vector tool, doesn't support EPS at all. Inkscape works flawlessly except that it's awkward to use on a Mac, especially without retina support (which is somewhat crucial for an graphic editor).

I've just tried Affinity Designer and it seems like it has good EPS import support (all elements editable etc.) and EPS export, but the exported EPS appears rasterised. When I open it up again in Affinity Designer, it's no longer editable. But maybe I'm just doing something wrong...
It's funny that they make it like a game. Actually it's a lot like challenging a word in scrabble.

Wouldn't it be relatively straightforward to repeat the Chinese test in a garage? We're talking a whopping 70 millinewtons here, so equivalent to the weight of 7 grams. Some shrews are lighter than that.

That's interesting, but what's puzzling me the most is how less people commit suicide during a war.
“Gaza surgery being performed in corridors, on the floor”
Conservation of momentum dictates that the momentum gain follows from the net momentum of emitted photons, so it really should be simply a matter of shinning light away. dp=dE/c (and since magnets have histeresis losses as mentioned, they radiate energy isotropically due to heat, lowering efficiency).
Never had this problem, and with one exception everyone I text with has an iPhone.
Ask HN: What are your thoughts on suicide?
When Aaron Swartz' passing was making it's rounds through HN, I noticed a STRONG conflict here in people's acceptance, or lack there-of, with regards to suicide.

I just read the article on the frontpage on the Buddhist monk confronting suicide culture in Japan, and had read previously about Tojimbo cliffs where many young Japanese men go to die, and felt a similar dissonance from the comments.

Having lost friends and family-of-friends to self-induced death, and having felt some dissonance about the acceptability of suicide as an idea or behavior, I thought that I would ask y'all.

How does HN feel about suicide? Irresponsible and irreverent waste of opportunity? final personal right and exertion of control over personal experience in a chaotic universe? disrespectful drag on human betterment?

Well, because chances are they gave the job of renewing the certificates to the rookie, and he may not have known how to do it, or raised the issue multiple times and nobody knew the implications of it. I know the last place I worked at, I mentioned that the certificates were expiring, and I needed to pay to renew them, yet they didn't seem to care until our customers couldn't connect anymore.
Aw, your comment about the UI made my day. Wildcard domains didn't come up at all as a use case—interesting you bring it up. Since it's open source now, I'll upload the rest of the UI design that hasn't been implemented yet which supports a few other features. Anything else you'd like to see?

But more seriously, a gateway you trust going under is indeed a risk. That's part of why you can specify not just "I trust this gateway" but also "I trust this gateway for up to 100 CAD" — you can explicitly specify your exposure.

Definitely not true when I graduated (almost 20 years ago). I came out with ~$25k student loan debt. That said, Harvard's endowment did enable them to be much more generous than other schools on grant money - no other school came close in their financial aid offer to me.
In your settings, you can turn off recovery for this reason. The plan is to move quickly to two-factor.
same problem here. I hope they provide other methods for doing this soon.
I can see the appeal of allowing behavior variant from Zend in areas where there is a big benefit, and I like the approach of defining these areas as "implementation-dependent" rather than specifying one or the other.

However, it seems to me that some of these are in areas where PHP code would need to know the runtime behavior of the platform they're on; the alternative is just to avoid all such areas ("there be dragons here") or to give up on portability and be implementation-dependent, in which case it seems to me that there's not much value in having a PHP standard (other than as a base document on which to build the Zend or HHVM specifications).

Why not have the specification allow runtimes to expose their choices of behavior into the runtime to allow code to determine what their platform does? Of course, one can probably write tests for these behaviors and build a library, but it seems like it would be better to just delineate the alternative behaviors and put them into the ABI.
You will have to manually update your local copy everytime upstream makes improvements.

Isn't this true of every library, framework, language, kernel, etc, that drives websites?

The whole thing looked fairly average, indicating that sleep patterns have nothing to do with intelligence.
Or, just rephrasing:

Decentralized as in bitcoin, where proofs of work confirm transactions? That is not news, since 6 years ago.

Decentralized as in any other electronic transfer system, where you trust a few nodes to confirm the transaction? "Each node in the network communicates with a set of other nodes that it believes will not collude (such as nodes run by universities, governments, and companies)" That is not news, it's from decades ago. (Some people even tried to put a patent on it, like 15 years ago: http://www.google.com/patents/US6173272)
Its tens of thousands. And depending on how they go about it, it is.

You are, however, comparing apples and oranges. Building a bot net vs. sending out a press release is very different things. Please look into Black Hat vs. White Hat SEO.

You do something different with your property is OK.

The dictionary defines Alternative as: one of two or more available possibilities. This is available, and it is a possibility, even if it's a possibility with a low probability based on your inherent bias. So, by definition, in english, this is certainly an alternative. So I'm curious about your motivation for the comment. You come out swinging, create a strawman, and introduce an error, all in one sentence. You're either a troll, or you're an idiot, and I'm honestly curious which, because I would like to assume the former, but your post makes no sense, even as a troll message. What was your motivation?
I agree with you.
In my startup (marketplace for face-to-face teachers) we see clearly that most of the students are not self-motivated and self-assured when in difficulties.
It is the rigor of the schedule appointments, the expertise of the face-to-face teacher to adjust the learning progress and his direct feedback that are helping efficiently our students.
MOOC’s are still experimenting on the best way to massively transmit knowledge and it will take time for them before being as efficient as a human teacher.
"Yeah, that's like the first week of Contracts."

Now you are just being a dick. I"m trying to be nice here and make sure i understand your argument.
In most cases, courts won't look at consideration at all, and outside of the US, whether consideration is required at all varies.

" you can't have a contract with an intended two-way exchange of obligations. "

This is false, of course.
You can have unilateral contracts accepted by performance of something that a contract requests, contracts implied in fact, contracts implied in law, and all sorts of interesting quasi-contracts, plenty of which still have warranties.

But that's also "first week of contracts".

"I don't think you understand -- they are exactly the same argument. A sale involves a contract. A license without a contract is gratuitous."

Not in all cases, actually, but if you are going to act like you have above, i'm not horribly interested in continuing the conversation, we'll just see what happens when someone gets sued over the WTFPL.
This seems pretty clearly criminal. I hope someone presses charges.

It would be cool if they developed this using something like RemoteStorage so you don't have to tie yourself to their server backend, which they say they're only committed to keeping around until the end of the year.
Sorry for the ignorant question, but is the notice localized and translated into other languages? You seem to have a lot of non-English-speaking contributors.
Disclosure: I work at NPR.

The cost isn't just for the translators however - most of our stations also produce content themselves that is local, and many produce their own shows as well. Those are not small investments, but a smaller audience in a rural area means fewer people to raise support from. Our Alaska stations actually band together to help keep radio going across Alaska, though population is thinner.
Isn't there a limit to how far 'teaching dependent learners' can go? Why spend so much time and effort accommodating people who are, by definition, self limiting?
Oof, that's annoying. We probably can't tell the age on your account. If you send me your stellar username, I'll send some stellars over.

These articles always seem to imply that you can use those traits for detection. Can you? I mean, the numbers and wording imply that you can, but some of the stats are not very clear or intuitive.

For example, just because group X usually doesn't eat lunch doesn't mean that not eating lunch is a good trait to detect them in the general population.

Also, 6% of outlook.com is used for fraud? This is a huge percentage.

How does this company detect multiple accounts on the device?
Of course, if this movement took off, I would absolutely want to come up with a defined list/scope for our efforts.

Keep a local copy means you will be the one paying for the bandwidth to serve it.

This should never be a consideration. It's not really stealing bandwidth, since all are welcome to download, but the idea that an asset my site (which presumably makes money) needs should be paid for by someone else really is in the same ballpark ethically.

The restaurants love it. We're free marketing for them. We introduce their brand to a much larger audience and everyone who makes one of their dishes wants to see how their cooking compares to the restaurant experience.
Pretty much the same concept as these guys who are doing it in London: www.simplycook.com
It should be noted that the paper (as I've read in the abstract) extrapolates from MEDICAL data. There's a huge prevalence of pseudomedicine and mysticism which receives incorrect confirmation (as evidenced by the aforementioned paper), but a poor publication record in medicine journals isn't necessarily a good predictor of physics journals.
The "mechanical turk" style fraudster setups probably rely more on getting desperate, unemployed people to work in regions so scarcely regulated that lunch breaks aren't even expected.
I received 4000+1000=5,000 Stellar. I sent 1,000 to another user. I have 3,999 Stellar remaining. What happened to my extra Stellar?
My feeling is similar, as I understand it there are trends, there are some ups and downs on the interest I have on the posts. IMHO the worst time was then jobs died, that is an example of those days where I could not find anything interesting (Disclaimer: I don't like jobs, and I don't understand why people idolize him, I feel like I may be downvoted to hell because of this but it's my opinion)
I'd love to see some https://keybase.io/ integration. There's some nice overlap with the federation concept, even if the "one-account-per-physical-person" story isn't as compelling.
Regarding the fact that they relied mostly on other operator's networks, I really don't see that as an issue (passed the initial technical glitches). It's business and as long as they sign agreements (and pay!) with other operators for their infrastructures, there's nothing to complain about. They essentially rent the infrastructure.
Yes - if you look at the first two graphs, you can more or less infer the third. The level of fraudulent orders and legitimate orders both decline at night, but the decline is not as marked in the fraudulent orders.

My Dream Design Curriculum
I have my own documentation of what I would consider to be Jed's dubious history as a trustworthy part of the digital currency world. Having been one of the early miners of BTC when it was under 25 cents and then an eager proponent of Ripple at its inception I feel disgusted and betrayed by the behavior of two particular people: Jed and Mark Karpeles. And yes, they deserve to be mentioned in the same breath. I was one of the lucky ones who did not lose any money, so this isn’t about sour grapes. I trust them about as far as I could throw a heavy safe, and I'm not very strong. Protocols may be game-changing and robust, but I learned the hard way that if the people behind them suck, supporting their schemes will likely make you a sucker. Protocols don’t create trust, people do. I’ll acquire stellars for free, but no more putting USD behind another one of Jed’s self-enriching money-making schemes. He’s very good at profit-taking for himself and is fearless in the art of self-promotion.
Not necessarily. Long term archival of data is hard and expensive to do... Storing stuff is easy, retrieval not so much.

I've heard of cases where 25 year old data stored in disk was corrupted over the years and had to be retrieved. In one case, somebody "lost" records of a few million bucks of receivables due to a bitched system migration.
you need N3 (2 for reads, one for write) ports of RAM

What? This isn't the 1980s, that's not how you register file. Realistically a "register" these days is an abstract concept, a label attached to a value somewhere in the pipeline. It's the job of instruction decode to keep track of exactly where to load it from.
...And then you start flagging businesses, ISPs, even entire countries as fraudulent.

The number of NATs there are make that sort of correlation... difficult.

For that matter, there are people that use UA "spoofing" for non-nefarious purposes. Me, for one.
Who is running the consensus nodes? Will people choose their consensus node, and if so can you guarantee an overlap? Are the nodes maintaining a state or a full, auditable, ledger?
That's what I'm saying. But P/c is very little momentum compared to what you get from taking that power to throw anything with rest mass out the back.
I think some people feel overwhelmed and trapped and suicide often seems like the only option. I don't think it's a waste of opportunity, but I think it's very sad that some people feel so stuck.

When Aaron died, I felt sad that I'd never see him again and that he wouldn't be around to fight things anymore, but I don't feel like it makes someone a bad person, I feel like maybe we should all do a better job of trying to understand where people are coming from and accept that there's always more going on that people share.
Well, that certainly isn't good. As if companies needed another reason to be obnoxiously paranoid about flash drives.
"The network does not need to trust gateways, but users need to trust them" -> a subtle difference, but it does not change my point: trusting a gateway's honesty is required.

So let's say I choose to not trust any gateway and their currencies, and instead decide to transact in the native stellar currency directly. This is a strange choice: why have support for alternate currencies if the Stellar protocol in itself can do nothing to help gateways gain trust? You might as well have, say, Amazon not even bother becoming a gateway issuing their own USD_Amazon, but instead Amazon would just accept the stellar currency directly. In this case I am still required to trust the native stellar currency. I am required to trust that Stellar --the nonprofit organization-- will correctly follow their mandate (https://www.stellar.org/about/mandate/): distributing x% to X, y% to Y, etc, properly thwarting fraud attempts from people with many fake Facebook accounts, properly thwarting fraud attempts during voting (https://www.stellar.org/about/mandate/#Stellar_creation), properly thwarting fraud attempts from people building fake nonprofits to attempts to gain a share of the 25% of stellars reserved for nonprofits, etc. And Stellar trusts Facebook, so I am even required to trust that there is no malicious employee at Facebook that will exploit APIs to attempt to gain stellars. You plan to distribute stellars through SMS? Heck I now need to trust telecom carrier employees, etc. Even if you are honest and make no operational mistake, fighting all these fraud attempts will be a large uphill battle, and there is way too much trust required, way too many possibilities for mistakes to happen.

Contrast this with Bitcoin: all Bitcoin requires is trust in three cryptographic algorithms which fit in a few thousand lines of code (ECDSA w/secp256k1, SHA-256, and RIPEMD-160).

I appreciate the attempt of building a different payment technology, but Stellar should not mislead people into believing they are similar to Bitcoin ("Stellar is decentralized [...] owes a lot to Bitcoin"). Stellar threw away the most fundamental element of Bitcoin: complete decentralization (including decentralization of the issuance of units of currency.)

This could be extremely big news, like the biggest news of the last 50 years. Depends on whether it's true -- and how much it can be optimized. Field propulsion is a game-changer in humanity's relationship to the universe.

Still pretty neat. And it sounds like something that could easily be reproduced in college-level labs worldwide.

I completely agree. The "foundational premise" of MOOCs isn't just about the cost of college, as the author claims... it's about access more broadly, of which cost is just one part. Sure, your average middle class American teenager has plenty of education opportunities -- people in full time jobs, distributed around the world, in rural areas, working full time and odd hours? Not so much. For these people, MOOCs truly are an "anything is better than nothing" proposition, and they don't have to replace college to be wildly successful. In fact, they can serve as a medium for elite universities to access talent they otherwise would never find -- as in this story: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/15/magazine/the-boy-genius-of...
