Second this request. I get the feeling that this result is just an artifact of not treating hand signs as "subdividable into components" the same way words are.

That is, even if ABSL is unquie in having lots of holistic gestures that don't combine, those gestures themselves are still expressible as the combination of meaningless atomic components, eg "flat hand + lower half circle motion + doing it quickly". And just like with the sounds of other languages, those meaningless components will appear in other gestures that mean different things.

Article on improving branch office connectivity
I agree that privacy advocated don't have a lot to hang their hat on here.

However, just a few notes:

" Saying that giving up a password is testimonial leaves open an angle to distinguish cell phones from locked filing cabinets."

Well, it is testimonial in some cases, as i'm sure you know.
If the government can essentially prove that they don't need your password to prove your access/control to that device, they can often get your password. But there are cases where it is testimonial. A laptop in a shared house for example, that has encrypted child pornography. Part of their case will be proving it is your laptop. If you dispute that fact, they aren't going to be able to prove it by requesting you enter the password, even if they can prove you have the password.

IE you are only generally protected from revealing it if revealing it would establish something about access/control to the device the government can't prove otherwise.
With the caveat that if they offer immunity for using your production in the prosecution, they can often get access.

Additionally, the government will almost never request the password itself, because that is often considered specific testimony concerning a fact. They will request you produce a document that is on the encrypted device, because they are allowed to ask for that.

They will then offer immunity for the act of production.

See, for example, this order:
http://federalevidence.com/pdf/Comput/Fricosu.Ord.1-23-12.pd...
which says

"That the government SHALL BE precluded from using Ms. Fricosu’s act of production of the unencrypted contents of the computer’s hard drive against her in any prosecution".
"Do nothing" understates the challenge here. Every change introduces risk and costs. The process today might be less than optimal but changing it will require hard and soft investment costs and take time and comes at an opportunity cost of doing something else. 1 in 4 projects runs terribly over budget/time etc. So the urge to do nothing is actually "The barrier to implementing change is much higher than simply "hey once implemented this will save you x per year or generate Y per year" How tangible and achievable and risky are those goals.

A good rule of thumb is that as a sales person you want to feel like there is a 4x minimum change vs the cost of your solution. So if your solution is $250,000 a year as a SaaS offering you want the company to believe it will save or generate $1 million a year. Anything under 3x and they'll probably punt because of the risks and opportunity cost of all things change.
I'm perfectly willing to play a mentally challenging game. There are plenty of good puzzlers out there that I've enjoyed. What I wasn't willing to do was spend half my play-time staring at the map. Many "shooters" in the '90s were as much "shooter" as "cartography simulator". Not that it was wrong that a few games included this as a major element, but too many games aped Doom and Descent's labyrinthine map-designs.

In this case they went to William Hill, an 80 year-old publicly listed and regulated company that made >£200M in profit off £1.5bn revenue last year.

The counterparty risk was negligible, especially compared with the rather high risk the pollsters all made systematic errors in their surveys (it's not particularly difficult to imagine a scenario in which people with a stated intention to vote for independence turned out to be much more likely to actually bother to vote; actually the main reason why I didn't try the lower risk, lower return version of this bet and place all my liquid funds in a FTSE100 index fund or ETF the day before)

Ask HN: Who's working making the world a better place?
Lots of us are making incremental improvements across various segments of the b2b and b2c markets. There are plenty of interesting and rewarding challenges in that space, and it's what I currently do as well. However, there must be some of us here who are working to better our world and future, but I don't seem to see much press for them here or anywhere for that matter.

To those of you in that camp: what's your company, what are you doing, and what are your growing pains?
> Instead of Beats Music, the Apple Watch features an unannounced music app with a blue play button (top right in the photo below) that instantly starting playing songs when tapped during a demo.

That's the current-day Remote (for AppleTV) icon in a circle instead of a rounded rect. iTunes' logo is right there in the middle. This lack of research makes me question the rest of the article, honestly. All of the post-Keynote demoes were said to be non-working, so for the touch demoes, it could have just started playing music for the sake of it, regardless of which icon was tapped.
"Simple readable JavaScript" as opposed to the sort of output you might expect from compilers for other Haskell-like languages which attempt to preserve Haskell's semantics. Certainly there are cases where using techniques from pure functional programming can lead to poor performance (monadic recursion jumps to mind), but it is perfectly possible to write fast code using PureScript. And if you really need to squeeze out every last bit of performance, you can always write code in JavaScript and use the FFI.
Do any businesses regularly use betting markets such as this for hedging? If so, that could have certainly moved the odds to give great odds to a "no" bet.

Some businesses could have been severely negatively impacted by a yes vote, so they can hedge against that risk by betting on 'yes'. Is that sort of thing done? Is it legal? Or do they just use different markets for this sort of thing? Buying or selling futures contracts on the pound could be highly correlated with the vote outcome.
Well, except that Einstein was an actual person, and Nimrod was a mythological one.

Have you read the subpoena? It's definitely aimed at incriminating the student. I don't disagree with your take on their lack of protection by the 5th amendment, but I think you're just wrong about who they're going after. Excerpts:

3. All documents and correspondence concerning all breaches of security and/or unauthorized access to computers by you.

10. All documents concerning complaints against you...concerning the unauthorized access of computers and/or Bitcoin code.

Items 11 - 14 are also aimed at finding evidence that they've done something wrong.

Geez we all enjoy the benefits of the 2008 financial crisis. Society was never happier.
In my experience the reality of enterprise purchasing is far more depressing.

If you are a new company with a new product, hoping to sell into the large enterprise market, you're competing with large, well-funded sales teams who's most compelling pitch is that "we're the safe choice." It may not be (and usually isn't) the best or most cost-effective choice. Yet at the end of the day, divisions or agencies making 7+ figure purchases want to feel confident in their purchase. "SAP is a good purchase because Ford/AT&T/Apple (I'm making these up) purchased them and they must know what they're doing."

Enterprise sales is a very tough business. If I were launching a product, I'd probably target small teams first with a lower price-point to bypass the politics and get almost instant purchase approval. There the stakes are lower. Sure, you won't close a $500,000 sale in one fell swoop, but once you establish yourself across a number of teams, you can always change your product lineup and create an enterprise package that has a much higher cost. Obviously a large number of SaaS companies already do this and I have to believe it's the most effective route.
Love how clean this is. Feature request: Quora mentions! At that point, I'd probably want to be able to sort by medium.
Regarding 5 & 6, EFF seem to think there is a prosecution being sought against the students.

"The state has already made clear it believes Rubin and Tidbit are in violation of New Jersey's Consumer Fraud Act. The state recently used consumer protection laws to secure a $1 million settlement from a gambling website that turned its users' computers into a botnet to mine for Bitcoins without the users' knowledge. It appears the state suspects Tidbit of something similar here, despite the fact Tidbit's code was only a proof of concept that could not mine for Bitcoins, and despite the fact Tidbit was clearly not planning to develop code that mined without a user's knowledge and consent."

"Some of the interrogatories also suggest that New Jersey believes Rubin and Tidbit are in violation of criminal hacking laws. One interrogatory asks Rubin to provide a list of all instances where Tidbit and websites using the code "accessed consumer computers without express written authorization or accessed consumer computers beyond what was authorized." That language comes from New Jersey's computer fraud act, which, in turn, is modeled after the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Since the subpoena is clearly demanding Rubin incriminate himself by opening himself to both civil and criminal liability, the privilege against self incrimination applies and he should be given immunity if ordered to comply with the subpoena."

The rise in income recorded almost directly tracks the entry of women into the workforce which is why the article explicitly mentions household income. The average middle class wage earner has not seen a pay raise in a long time, and thus his wife has had to start working in order to make due in the face of rising energy, health care, and education costs.

The article is a classic example of lying by omission. It would be like saying household incomes dropped precipitously in the late 1800s after government started regulating factories, without mentioning that the regulation was banning child labor, thus removing the income brought in by your 12 year old son working at the mill.

This article instead casts the last several decades of neo-liberal trade and economic policies as having greatly increased household incomes, without ever mentioning the fact that now twice as many people in the household have had to start working in order to keep pace with the economy. On an individual level, the one that matters, the middle class has been boned for several decades now.

Edit: Trade policies are neo-liberal as pointed out by eli_gottlieb. Thanks for the head's up!
Multiprocess Firefox currently only uses one process for all tabs (plus a browser UI process). The tab process will be sandboxed, so users will get some of the security benefits of multiple tabs without the memory overhead of tab-per-process.

If you want to experiment with more than one tab process, you can tweak the about:config pref "dom.ipc.processCount".

NOTE: the difference was ~5% which means that once again financial crooks don't know nothing about the subject at hand.

Why should they? In case they lose the bet, German taxpayer will pay. Business as usual.
Hardly an important distinction for these intents and purposes; particularly since those stories were widely taught as fact until fairly recently.
So just to be clear, if he wins he makes 22.22~% profit (200K), if he loses then he's out 900K (100% loss). While that is a great ROV (relative to both interest and or the stock market), it does seem like the stake was too high relative to the reward.

Could they not have taken that money, purchased a couple of homes (e.g. 2x 275k), renovated them up to modern standards (e.g. 2x 60-85K), and then resold them? A lot of people do that and it has a very high ROV also (as people get into bidding wars more easily on "ready to move into" property Vs. ones in need of renovation).

Plus with the property thing you always ultimately have the property/land which can be sold. So the risk isn't really 100% of the properties' value, it is at most the difference between purchase price and raw land value. Even in the 2008 recession a lot of people in the property game did "alright."

USN-2352-1: DBus vulnerabilities
oh the power of buzzwords
To all the UK HN readers here. I grew up in Australia and live in the US. When I visit the UK I'm staggered by just how much you can bet on everything As I go home I've noticed it is more prevalent there now too then when I grew up there. Do people in the UK discuss how mad the UK are about betting? Or do they not think they are particularly? Is there any sort of active discussion in terms of how healthy it is? I'm not for outlawing gambling or drinking or prostitution but to think that there aren't a meaningful % of addicts for whom this easy access destroys their life is also naive. Does that come into play at all?
Tim was enthusiastic about Beat's curated playlists in a recent interview, so if they do kill off the Beats brand, it will probably be so they can move the curated music stuff into iTunes Radio, which is ad-free with an iTunes Match subscription.

I can see iTunes Match morphing into a kind of Amazon Prime like offering, where a bunch of premium services are all rolled together.
Doom did it well, and that does make a big difference.

As a different example compare early Burnout with recent Burnout games. The early games gave you tracks you had to drive on. If you failed it was really quick to try again. Later Burnout gives you a city to drive around, with tracks overlayed on it. You have to be at a certain point in the map to trigger the start of each event which sucks when you're driving back to the start to restart the event.

5 Lessons from a “Failed” Copywriting Pitch

>And how on earth would an individual gain access to network >infrastructure of one of the largest carrier providers in >the country?

way easier than most people think. The telco networks are walled gardens. Once you're in, you're in. (Though, security have been getting better the last years.).

But really, all you need is to break into a base station and hook up your own gear. A fair bit of knowledge of the protocols, and the unsecured stuff you can get access to in the core network are quite amazing once you're on the fixed side of a BTS (as opposed to the radio side that your mobile phone is on).

Similarly, you can dig up a fiber and pass it through your own equipment. This isn't something your run of the mill wifi wardriver is going to be able to do, but certainly something a skilled individual can do.

As somebody who has suffered from depression and anxiety, this is (mostly) fantastic advice. I waited so long to try an SSRI because so many insist that they don't work. Yet, when I got on 20 mg of citalopram, panic attacks disappeared leaving only occasional situational anxiety, and my major depressive episodes were reduced to just a little occasional sadness (though this is admittedly confounded with a half dozen other measures I took).

Exercise is probably the reason I survived pre-citalopram. For me, the high only lasted while I was running and probably resulted in some overkill cardio, but just having a reliable method to make myself feel better was vital.
I'm not sure that your example prevents the implementation of per-tab javascript VMs. Wouldn't the browser be designed such that its kernel mediated all tab-to-tab runtime state queries? Then, tabs wouldn't directly access each other's state, and the kernel would interpose security policies (such as same-origin-only requests) between tabs regardless of a tab's behavior. To keep this arrangement transparent to programmers, the tab's javascript VM would map access to shared state (like a window's opener) onto the appropriate call to the kernel, obviating the need for direct inter-tab memory access while preserving compatibility.
I do not want to be that guy, but I do anyway. Haha.

Because the tab you're using has barfed its data all over the heap, so you can't keep all its data paged into main memory. Its data is mixed together with the other tabs' data.

With some languages, a big part of the selling point is that it's the same or similar to a language the programmer already uses. Clojure and ClojureScript come to mind, or even server-side JavaScript. Now, with ClojureScript, another common selling point is the synergy with react -- something that would appeal even to people not using Clojure (maybe because they're averse to the JVM).

So where is PureScript positioned related to this? Let's say I'm writing a backend in Ruby or Python and not Haskell, why PureScript instead of CoffeScript or sweet.js?

(I'm actually interested in this, not intended as a put-down.)
