But John Locke in lost is merely a reference to and not the same as, John Locke the philosopher.

Not everything with the same name is the same thing, and it's possible to reference the second in a series of shared names that itself is referencing the first.

References aren't transitive, in this case.

One of the most interesting outcomes of recent internet scale, headline creating bugs, such as heartbleed and shellshock, is what I think I'm going to start calling the "bugfud" effect. This could be either a combination of Bug and FUD or Bug and Befuddlement. This state of affairs is charactrized by the following:

1) argumentation about how best to address the issue systemically

2) argumentation about whether the issue even exists or is just being hyped, or at the very least overblown (even among people who should be qualified to understand it)

3) actual and expected hype from media outlets, usually not qualified to discuss the issues, speaking to a mostly unqualified, mostly disinterested audience

4) the blame game

And I think these states just scratch the surface of bugfud. Bugfud is a real complex social phenomena, which can be just as dangerous as the bugs themselves. It can prevent organizations and individuals from addressing these bugs in a timely, effective manner. So, bugfud is also a bug.

Childish meltdowns on stage, comments about pedophilia and toe jam eating aside, RMS might well have been a luminary 30 years ago. But AFAIK he hasn't done any coding in years, and mostly just travels around giving talks, riding on his past fame to continue to enable his lazy, selfish lifestyle (cf. refusing to own a cell phone but happily using someone else's, same for loyalty programs, accepting volunteers who probably want software dev intern experience and making them update his blog, etc.)

You realise the flaw in iCloud was that it allowed unlimited password guesses[0], right? So in effect what you just claimed is that the attackers used the known flaw in iCloud but that the two incidents are "unrelated."

If attackers used dictionary attacks or brute forcing against iCloud's APIs then that is the very flaw of which we speak. Everything I've read is that they did do exactly that, therefore it is easy to claim that the flaw and the theft are related.

I don't disagree with your wording... However, economics _is_ culture. If I pay my workers less than the cost of living I can justify it by the logic of the market, but it is still my choice. The "greed is good" mantra allows too many of us to rationalize away our economic choices as as different from our values. They're not, they're one and the same.
You seem unduly concerned with the terms "innovative" and "disruptive." Perhaps you should try to define the terms more clearly before arguing about which companies qualify.

I might not have used the optimal wording there. The important difference between the two prolog implementations is that the "longer" version is implemented by (recursive) iteration over a list of [peak] values (and comparing it to a reference list), whereas in the shorter one, the reference values are specified as separate conditions in the prolog rule, combined with logical AND.

The separate conditions enables "shortcut" of the match-testing, in a way that the recursive list-parsing did not: As soon as one of the conditions is not met, the current spectrum will be rejected and the backtracking will go on with the next item, while with the recursive list-parsing version each item of the list of values will be compared to the reference [value-]list regardless of whether the current spectra has already been rejected or not.

The "shorter" prolog version, with separate conditions, thus enables to order the conditions according so that statistically rare peak values come first (thus, "heuristically"), so that a spectrum can be rejected as soon as possible.

Being a heuristic solution, the performance would of course depend on the prior knowledge of the values in the data.

But as can be seen from figure 15, both prolog versions beat Jena and Pellet by a large margin, though the "shorter" version did so well that it is even hard to notice an increase of the running time linear to the number of triples in the triplestore, in the diagram.

Hope that made it a tad clearer!
This is great. I am so glad this is getting done! I've spent way too much time clicking around the horrible distributor search engines, trying to determine which parts are cheap, readily available and will remain so (these three things usually go in hand). It is incredibly difficult and time-consuming if you are looking for something like a 12MHz SMD crystal: good luck sifting through thousands of options.

The current selection is very limited, but still useful for many projects, I will certainly make use of it.

The logical next step would be a KiCAD (and possibly Eagle?) library containing all the footprints. Not just thrown in there, or auto-converted, but actually verified by a human.
If you actually read both objectively, there is zero contradiction between the two.
Heh. Okay, I'll consider rebranding it.
Well, Windows Phone has been using the name Cortana for their Siri-equivalent. The codename for the next version of IE is reportedly Spartan[1], which is used in Halo.

What a bizarre connection to make. Maybe I'm out-of-date on my Halo lore but I don't think there's even anyone/thing significant in that universe named after him. Indeed, the search on the Halo wiki she links only reveals an "Asimov Centre" briefly mentioned in one short story and a quarter of the tiny article is a sentence explaining who Isaac Asimov was.

> Taxation in the States is at an all time low

Not true in 2014.

Obama raised a number of taxes for the top bracket:
Ordinary income: 35% -> 39.6%
Capital gains: 15% -> 20%
Medicare tax: 1.45% -> 2.35%

Meanwhile in California: 10.3% -> 13.3%

Marginal taxes and the top for residents of California are: 39.6+2.35+13.3 = 55.25%
The number is similar for New York City.

You have to go back to the Reagan's first term to find higher tax rates.

Now all we have to do is wait for the growth.
> Under the bill, someone who is drunk, drugged, unconscious or asleep cannot grant consent

The "drunk" part of this has some potentially serious problems. It's fine in the case where someone deliberately gets someone else drunk in order to inhibit that person's judgement so that they will agree to sex. Doing that to someone is vile. Same if someone finds a drunk person, recognizes that they are in an impaired state of judgement, and takes advantage of them.

However, what about the case where both parties are drunk, both parties got drunk voluntarily, and neither party is intending to use the other's drunken state to take advantage of them? You simply have drunk A ask if drunk B would like to have sex, and drunk B says yes, and they proceed to clumsily do so. If B's drunk state makes it so B cannot give consent, I think an equally good case can be made that A's drunk state makes it so A cannot recognize that B's "yes" is not valid.

In general, drunk people pose thorny legal problems, especially when they interact with other drunk people.

It only looks inconsistent if you only read the headlines. Krugman has had a consistent position on income inequality for years. He never says "the problem was that our rich were flaunting their wealth."

I think they certainly could reach some level of organized crime status if they keep sliding down the already slippery slope they are on. I didn't mean for it to sound like all of those things I listed were required for that classification, they were just meant as examples. Here's the actual definition straight from the FBI:

"The FBI defines organized crime as any group having some manner of a formalized structure and whose primary objective is to obtain money through illegal activities. Such groups maintain their position through the use of actual or threatened violence, corrupt public officials, graft, or extortion, and generally have a significant impact on the people in their locales, region, or the country as a whole."

The difference between Uber's business model and Tesla's is that, unlike Uber, Tesla isn't trying to get other dealerships shut down by wasting their money with fake customers, nor are they poaching and trying to convert employees over to their company. Tesla is trying to get rid of outdated laws that, in today's day and age, only encourage dealerships to screw over their customers. There was a time when those laws served their original purpose, to protect dealers from manufacturers. But the world has changed a lot since then.
This is the nature of "devops."
Your argument is predicated on the assumption that the rich use their wealth only for the "important forms" you mention. What you don't mention is how they are able to influence the political arena with their wealth. The influence of politics by a few is a very natural consequence of massive inequality, and is a zero-sum game. More political influence of the wealthy means less political influence of the poor.

You cannot divorce the economy from politics.

I think this is a foreign media myth. It's Android through and through, very obviously. Honestly, I have no idea how anyone could confuse it with an attempt at iOS copying, it's has zero similarity to my eye.
People don't say that, because "organized crime" is an idiom that carries more specific meaning than simply "crime which is organized." Two coworkers who arrange to carpool and then exceed the speed limit are committing crime which is organized, but I also wouldn't describe them as engaging in "organized crime."
Ash HN: what cloudformation tool editor are you using?
TL;DR: looked for a tool, found none, should I create one or is there any I could already use?

My common use case for which i don't have a perfect tool is:

a. i have tens of active cloudformation stacks
b. i want to update a stack
c. i want to see (with 100% accuracy):
1. which resources will be updated
2. which resources will be created
3. which resources will be deleted

The way i do it now:
- have templates versioned on git
- execute `aws cloudformation update` and blindly trust that no other changes have been performed between my updates.
- (some other tweaks too long to describe here)

What tools are you using? I feel like creating one, but i cannot be the first one bumping into this (i might do it wrong - that's also a possibility).

Raising capital from a VC for a real Sure Thing would generally be scamming yourself - it would be cheaper to raise a loan in almost all Sure Thing situations. Obviously Bitcoin is a bit different since it's not the kind of real thing you could get a loan for.

Anyway, I don't think it's weird at all. Pre-order suckers grant money on much more favorable terms than even a loan, much less a VC. Doubly so if you're scamming them the whole time.

Sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about.

The first patch released took the exploit from "Know way to easily remote execute code" to "Parser error that might be exploitable but we're not sure how to actually use it". If the Linux/BSD world had stopped there, they still would have done a far better job than Apple has. But they didn't stop there. They released a second patch. And now everyone is secure.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world and I are watching through our Apache logs as attackers are knocking at our front door with this exploit. If you have a OS X server and you didn't patch it already, you may already be exploited.

> Teachers are highly valued in our culture (or at least, valued much more than they are in our economy).

Teachers are primarily public servants in the US (before college, and probably even the majority of college professors though I won't make a wager on that). Their pay is directly determined by our culture as reflected by who we elect and how we vote on referendums. Clearly, our culture does not value teachers if me choose to pay them poorly with respect to their scope of responsibilities and the time required to perform their jobs. Along with 6-8 hours of instruction and student interaction each day, their primary time for prep and grading is outside of those school hours. Pair that with having to sponsor clubs or coach athletics to earn a little more money to make ends meet (especially if they're the primary or sole earner or have children) they have to commit to 12-16 hour workdays throughout the school year. And then we require them to maintain certifications and professional education (not bad things on their own) that require spending losing many evenings and weekends to satisfy (and sometimes money spent from their own pocket just to be allowed to stay in their job).
Glad you like it nnain! We also spent a lot of time looking at different organization options prior to starting Moo.do and weren't happy with what they provided (usually at a cost!). If there's a killer feature that would make Moo.do a better experience for you we'd love to hear about it.

You should read the article you linked to more carefully. Krugman does not criticize the flaunting of wealth at all. He is responding to an article from David Brooks who criticized the flaunting of wealth.

Krugman's point is that David Brooks' criticism of the flaunting of wealth does not jibe with Brooks opposition of progressive taxation.

Whatever else you may think of Krugman, he is a pretty smart guy and if you want to try to find flaws in his arguments you should try to pay careful attention to what he actually says.
The article goes on to say:

> from fun and exciting games, to high-performance scientific software, to device drivers, embedded programs, and Windows client apps.

So the flexibility we're talking about is the ability to write an enormous range of types of programs. Are you seriously proposing to write some of these in Lisp? Device drivers, say? Embedded programs? (There are embedded environments where realtime constraints and/or memory limitations mean that you can't cons, but C++ still runs in those environments.)

High performance games don't like the latency of garbage collecting. You can work around it, but it might be awkward.

You can also write the memory manager in C++. Writing it in Lisp might be problematic, both because you don't want to cons or garbage collect while running the memory manager, and also because you need to handle blocks of raw memory handed to you by the OS.

And if you're going to write a Windows client app in Lisp, well, that sounds like masochism to try to write in Lisp, but then I think it pretty much sounds like masochism no matter what language you write it in.
EXPOSING YOUTUBERS (KIND OF), WHAT YOUTUBERS ARE LIKE OFF CAMERA
The rich flaunt their wealth among other rich people. A lot of this really is invisible to regular folks. People watch celebrities and think that lifestyle is "rich". But the 20 hedge fund managers who each take home a billion a year make celebrities look like peons. The truly rich really are invisible.
It flies in the face of Econ 101, but if you made it to Econ 102, you would hear about a concept called price elasticity which would explain why raising wages by 50% doesn't necessarily lead to a 1 to 1 drop in employment.
It's not a waste of resources, and the most egregious issue is not just that it's a violation of trust to the customers left waiting for their orders, but that it's a violation of trust to the already fulfilled customers. Each hash that gets submitted to the live network "takes a percentage" of the output of the mining pool and of the overall network output. BFL (the maker, and their upstream vendors for that matter) have privileged access to the newest hardware on the planet at the time when it's going to be most valuable.

Customers whose orders have been fulfilled have an expectation that BFL (I'll grant even, only because they promised so) is not actively working with the money provided by new customers to devalue the good provided to their old customers by the hardware that is their existing sunk cost. The community rallied behind them, in part because they promised to leave that job to the new customers.

You may see it as a waste, but I don't think the FTC will agree with you. The ridiculous pre-order delivery delays could have been excused only if BFL does not really have a stake in seeing that delay grow longer. It's more obvious now that they did have a very real stake in prolonging that delay.

Read the article. They weren't doing two day burn-in, they were burning in new units until there were enough more new units to replace them in the test facility. That's some bad faith action right there.

If Putin is indeed immensely rich then it's difficult to see how he could accumulate such wealth other than by corrruption. If corruption is responsible for some folk's wealth in the US, the appropropriate agencies should get to work and nail them and one has a reasonable expectation that due process will occur. Dream on with Putin. Isn't that the difference between Russia and the US?

This does not describe Uber's activities. While there is plenty wrong with Uber the hyperbole of describing them as near organised crime is unhelpful.

Uber used fake rides as a recruitment technique; they did not knee-cap drivers for other companies.
