That's a bit vague so I may not address your concern exactly, but it sounds like you're worried about the front page not being a simple ranking by community upvotes. HN has never been a simple ranking by community upvotes; it has always been a blend of upvotes and curation. Why? Because, unfortunately, upvotes alone would produce a front page of controversy, gossip, and fashion. Upvotes go disproportionately for 'hot' stories. Since we want quieter, more reflective material on, there needs to be a countervailing factor.

Re abuse, you'd have to be more specific about what you mean, but I suppose the general answer is you needn't be more worried about it now than you've been for the previous seven years, since there hasn't been any major change at that level. The major change has been greater transparency, because users asked for it.

The thing about these bikes is that they're bikes you can take out to a DH race and win on. They are the F1s of cycling. I think the most expensive DH bikes top out at $10-15k.

It always bugs me when amateurs look at professional equipments (literally: equipment you use in your profession which you should be making money on) and go, "hmpf, that's too much!" Same thing with tons of software - if you're not making money with it, there's rarely reason to buy it. And if you are, then it shouldn't be a major expense in the context of your profession.

What's more, the US and Germany have Cold War era agreements that basically allow the US to do whatever they damn well please.

Sure, they cancelled the one was made public (http://bigstory.ap.org/article/germany-nixes-surveillance-pa...) but considering Germany was founded under US/British occupation, I would be surprised if there weren't less public agreements that state more or less the same. After all, the German government was paranoid about the Soviets at the time, so they were happy to have the US handle everything.
"The simplest hypothesis" does not "win". The hypothesis that fits the evidence best is accepted until a better one is discovered.

The radio , passengers and thoughts are much more passive and easy to tune out but even then I'm sure there have been plenty of accidents that are caused by daydreaming. A passenger can see out of the window and has awareness of the car's surroundings so they will usually know to shut up or at least not expect a quick answer to their question if you are doing a tricky manoeuvre. Electronic devices or people on the other end of a hands-free conversation both require interaction and do not have awareness of the situation that the driver is in.

According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coeliac_disease), there's a growing asymptomatic Celic disease in the United States - about 1% of the population.

There many more who are sensitive yet not to the level of pathology and that's what's causing low-grade inflammation that's slowly and silently ruining your thyroid and other organs.

> O(paths to inodes with nlinks > 1) .. O(inodes with nlinks>1)

Yes, that's right, I ignored that part in the calculation above.

By using the filename+parent pointer approach for path compression, that could be improved. (The current version of megacp also stores all necessary stat information (size, uid, gid, perms) in the tempfile to avoid a second stat call; this could be dropped if it makes matters worse.)

Also, quite likely using a fast compression algorithm like lzop on the file would make disk access faster and disk storage requirements lower.

> You're also doing two passes, one to enumerate the files, another to do the copying and hardlinking

Right now I'm doing exactly the same number of system calls as the cp approach needs. The second pass doesn't do readdir or, currently, even stat on the source file (that's why I saved the stat info above; which is more beneficial would need to be tested). It may be beneficial to sort the sorted-by-inode file back into sorted-by-path after the inode cluster recognition step to get original path locality during the copy phase (the included test/genfiles script already does that); I'll have to test that.

> unless you have an on-disk sort it will still be RAM+swap limited

Using an online algorithm is the whole point, I've been saying that from the start. And I remember that Knuth wrote about them so I conclude that they exist for sort, and I quite expect that GNU sort(1) is already sorting big files efficiently (limited testing seems to confirm that, files several times the size of RAM sort just fine in the low single digit minute count).

> I'd be very surprised if that was faster

You're ignoring how much slower disk seek is compared to serial reading/writing. A lot of similar optimizations are done in OSes, databases etc. for that reason. I guess you'll argue next that SSDs don't have such high seek times (and that everybody should be using them), and while those points are right SSDs are still a lot slower for random versus serial access, so whether the overhead of the sorting approach is warranted on SSDs remains to be tested. In any case, I very much expect it to be faster in the OP's scenario which was with spinning disks (note how it took him many days; I expect the sort for the same data to take few hours or quite likely less than an hour given his RAID array).
that doesn't answer my question. $, $$, $$$ are meaningless.

The price isn't free, it's was more than $700,000. If these school districts wanted to send a political message worth hearing, they'd protest government fat and refuse shipment.

If they were to be completely practical, they still wouldn't take these. "It will be carrying teddy bears"... buy a van! The maintenance costs on this are incredibly expensive in the long-term, and I can only imagine what this would do to small-town roads or fields with even semi-regular use.
The book The Power of Habit (2012) has been highly recommended to me on this very topic.
Yup. It's like all the funded meals-for-startups startups.
You can't compare jQuery to an MV* framework, they have different purposes. jQuery is meant for easier DOM manipulation (ideal for these kind of projects). MV* frameworks are for giving your JS more structure and create applications.
> The largest atrocities and cruelest of societies may happen due to the rule of law.

I seem to recall these sorts of things being strongly correlated with secret police, etc, and not being in a society with stable laws that it adheres to.

Conflating secret law with law being the basis of our large scale interactions doesn't make for a strong argument, unless you can show that one necessitates the other.

Similarly, rule of law has nothing inherently nationalistic about it.

I'm curious what you'd propose as a stable large scale social structure that doesn't fundamentally depend on us establishing a mutual rulebook that we all agree to play by. I don't mean that sarcastically, I honestly want you to suggest one.
This is marginally less silly than Snapchat being "worth" as much as SpaceX.
Those rough categories adjust as the market for good video adjusts. Currently, $ is about $50K, $$ is $75-150K. $$$ is anywhere above that—we've done broadcast work in the high six-figures range.

That said, when a project with a small startup without much capital is interesting enough (read: first of its kind, first to market, best in class), there are other arrangements to be made. We figure out some sort of equity and/or revenue share with more than half of our clients, where it makes sense to forego some of our markup and other fees in exchange for opportunity to participate in the future success of a product.

What are those Russia recent activities?

The misbehavior in Ukraine was US gobertment giving 6 billion dollars to rebels against the democratically elected, Russian speaking majority.

It was the Secretary of State of the US who talked about the 6 billions they gave.

After forcing a coup d'Etat in Ukraine and protecting the rebels (no violence should be used), the Pro Russian majority revolted and then the US of course change their opinion to VIOLENCE SHOULD BE USED against pro Russians.

It become clear that the US put a puppet in Ukraine gobertment. It was only after that Russia secured Sevastopol against the occupation. Sevastopol has been Russian for centuries.

US was alone in their war against Russia until the civilian plane crashed. Europe leaders were told by companies that breaking almost a trillion dollars pacific relationship with Russia in order to satisfy US interest was crazy.

Instantly after the crash US and Germany (then France) condemned Russia without proof. To this day we have not a single proof that Pro Russians hit the plane.

Quite the contrary, the Pro Russians were winning and hitting a commercial plane was against their interest.

In fact I bet it was manufactured like the chemical attack in Syria in order to put public opinion on the side of politicians.

I am not Russian, I am European, and seeing European leaders go against their interest following the war mongering US is disgusting.

The US is afraid about Europe-Russia and China integration, as it could force US out of Euroasia, and the petrodollar to collapse.

The US wants to invade Iran in order to steal their natural gas(more reserves than anywhere else in the world), and Syria in order to force European gaseoduct gas to be controlled by the US.

For this first they have to weak Russia, as Russia faced the US when the US attacked both countries. Russia has their Mediterranean fleet in Syria and a pacific relationship with Iran.

If someone should be punished, it is the US.

"all analogies are false and therefore bad"

I disagree with this statement. If you try to learn everything from first principles, you'll never get anywhere. Students need analogies to understand the big picture while learning the details.

"That is not just a good analogy, but summarizes our best understanding of both light and quantum physics"

And the Lesbeque integral is a more rigourously defined operator that the Riemann integral, but would you use it to introduce calculus to first year students? Of course not - you teach the basics, and in grad school, you let the students that need to worry about the more complicated stuff take Real Analysis.

There are certainly connections between interferometry and quantum physics. However, I don't see how the author's explanation of the subject is enhanced by using quantum physics. For the purpose of this article, classical physics explains the phenomenology just fine. As I said in another comment below, and wglb said above, appealing to quantum physics when it is entirely unnecessary is a bad smell, and is usually nothing more than a distraction to make the author sound more sophisticated.
Why aren't these things dismantled and the ports sold and stripped, and then that money sent to schools to you know, pay for more teachers, get more computers, and upgrade classrooms??

What the hell is wrong with people? You think that this thing is free, what about the costs to store it, repaint it, service it, transport it? That's certainly not free on the off-chance that they need to use it against some (probably) student gunman? Really?

These vehicles need to not only be taken away from civilian use, but those responsible for their procurement at the local and federal levels, including whoever is in charge of this program, need to be brought to some kind of justice and/or punished.
It's not that I disagree, so much as I consider dropping auth completely to be pretty much a complete waste of time - it solves virtually none if not none of the problems.

What would be a minimum imho is a "persistence" authentication.

i.e. I don't need to know that Anonymous123 is really joe bloggs of Boston.
What I do need to be reasonably sure of is that Anonymous123 is the same Anonymous123 that I was talking to last week.

I don't even really care if someone sits and listens in to the conversation - the weak link in encryption imho is that it isn't anonymous.

And in that context - tor solves most of these problems already.
We (https://cloudfleet.io/) are working on it :)
That depends entirely on the type of site and how you come by that revenue. For some sites, it may be high. For others, it's way too low.
How much does it cost to insure and maintain these vehicles? And how much would it cost to fuel it to drive from where er it's kept to where ever it needs to go?

Because if you need a medical vehical there are probably better vehicles. Unless you actually need a 15 ton mineproof vehicle.
So it's really going to happen... slowly, in the name of piracy(but we know that's not really why), any form of encrypted communication will become illegal. Oh, and of course this won't apply to affluent.
Representing Germany as a US client state made sense a generation ago, when it was an occupied nation not least because of its aggressive actions towards European Jewry, and because of the Cold War. Now it is home to a large Muslim population, many of whom are the targets of this surveillance, and the US is allied with Israel. Also, we have been fighting wars in the Middle East for over a decade.

I would suggest that the Germans are more than either a client state or allies. They are a leading state in the EU if not its defacto leader, and the EU is not your grandfather's EU.

Whatever metapolitical order establishes itself in cyberspace will certainly respect the real world politics, which is that relations between the US and EU are tense, and Germany's relationship with its own Muslim population is ambiguous as regards the concepts being thrown around here -- 'treason' and 'duties of a citizen' and 'sovereignty'.

Technical persons would do well to think through what they really want out of the world political order, and to pursue policies with good will that are conducive to peace. Perpetuating the political order of the last century will be both futile and counterproductive.

What an awful graph.

Anything other than the bottom value is hard to figure out what the trend is over time, showing they add up to 100% is kind of a waste. The x axis ticks are not equidistant (10, 5, and 2 years between columns)..

Thanks for posting the interesting article. Wish the graph was better.
That section says "inspiration from". Seems different from "based on".

No, I think you missed my point. Humans can't be trusted with the power to add mind-altering substances to the drinking water. Once someone figures out how to use it to their advantage, they will.

Except the situation we are in, the US spying on both Americans and non-Americans, seems to suggest that they are not at all seeing the world "in two classes" as you claim.
True. I think the thing that a lot of the do-gooder types who wish for totalitarian government to solve some problem or other don't realize is the sort of people that kind of power attracts. Even if the people put in charge at first are the most wonderful, benevolent people the world has ever seen, it won't stay that way for long. Such people are just not ruthless and determined enough to stay in power in such a system for long. Somebody who cares for nothing but their own power will eventually find a way to bump off whoever's in charge and take control. Just the existence of those power structures are irresistible to such people.

It's kinda like the old regex quote - You have what you think is a serious problem, and you want to use a totalitarian government to solve it? Soon, you will have 2 problems - the original problem is still there, because nobody in charge really cared about it in the first place, only now you will be throw in the Gulag for daring to question what your new totalitarian leaders are doing.
Because they're buying things they don't need.

It's good to be a defense contractor.

I am also working on something a bit like this. Sounds like a trend is starting... I also like OP's work, it's far nicer than Sir Trevor. (http://madebymany.github.io/sir-trevor-js/)

Some things I notice as well in OP's implementation:

- when selecting text you can only select a small subset of the content (if you start your selection in a paragraph, you can only select within that paragraph). This is going to drive authors crazy.

- moving the cursor with the keyboard suffers from the same limitation. Once you reach the top of your current paragraph, the "up arrow" key does nothing. It should really move to the bottom of the next content.

- for any web-based editor that uses contentEditable: cE is full of quirks (that's putting it politely). Addressing how you tame contentEditable from the start is the key to making a good editor. I think patching the editor as the quirks surface is a poor strategy.

Picnic CSS sets the style of the default elements, while in Pure CSS you have to add them manually as classes. This means that Picnic just works out of the box while Pure is more flexible.

There are some other smaller differences:

- The <select> just looks nice with Picnic in Firefox.

- Picnic relies in class combinations, while Pure relies in long specific class names. Compare <button class = "primary">Test</button> vs <button class = "btn btn-primary">Test</button>

- Pure CSS is surely more solid; it's been created by Yahoo and tested by thousands of webs

A school district buying one of these is like a guy that makes $40,000 a year buying a Ferrari from the 1980s because it costs $10,000. Sure he can afford to purchase it, but as soon as he needs to replace the $4,000 clutch, he's going to go broke or have a broken, rotting vehicle stuck in his driveway.
Besides of the comment above, please use the one you prefer and fits better your needs. Clean html and out of the box options are Picnic strengths, flexibility and browser support are PureCSS strengths.
It is interesting that it got to this and I wonder how many in chain from next down the chain of "hey let's give this to the school district" idea person, to "i am painting a mine-resistant tank in white, so we can use it in a San Diego school district" thought "surely this can't be right" but then did it anyway.

In general, with all the militarization of police articles and news. Maybe the proper way is a militarized response to it. Crank it up a level and let it get even more ridiculous. Petty thieves and drug dealers should learn about how to build and detonate shaped charges to defeat these things. It shouldn't be too hard. A copper cone with some explosive behind it should do it. Then wait for the police to start flying drones with hellfire missiles through the inner cities and blasting away whole city blocks. Then use home made SAM missiles to defeat those and so on.

Pretty sure with proper PR one can easily invoke the spirit of Founding Fathers and revolutionary and constitutionally sanctioned fight against oppression in response the corresponding rhetoric about Drug or Terror War.
