I just visited Container Park this past weekend. It certainly is a cool area with a lot of public space and I could tell locals were really enjoying themselves. It's kind of like Hayes Valley in SF (where Smitten is) if you know where that is.

It's true what they say about Vegas though in that there's a slight cult vibe and the quality of the establishments are poor despite their looks.
The plan sounds bizarre. He is basically going to cater to x% of Reddit that's into Bitcoins, etc.

Makes little sense when Reddit was created for 'all', prior to Bitcoin.

Perhaps PG's position on getting an MBA was previously well known to many. I found his comments regarding the orthogonality of business school and the process of starting a business to be refreshingly clear and straightforward.
In my opinion, passwords should never be stored in a log file. I can't think of any exceptions to this.
The alternative to invasion was a long-term blockade. Japan was already near the breaking point and there would have been millions dead due to starvation in fairly short order in that scenario.

There was probably no way to beat them without getting a lot of people killed. Leaving them alone was probably not a good option either.

I also feel a need to point out that Japan did invade the US in the Aleutians campaign, albeit a fairly insignificant and deeply out-of-the-way portion of the US. The Philippines could also be considered part of the US at the time the Japanese conquered it, although pretty loosely.
No, he's saying the decryption key will be a simple passcode for an encrypted private key stored on apple's servers, or something even worse than that. Promising, ain't it? ...with the examples we have of the type of passwords people use...
Hello Atlantic.net alumni! We're still grinding it out and trying to change the world from here! Keep hope alive!
I've only heard one. Either the other talk of his I listened to was abnormally dry, or he's just more comfortable joking around with a younger audience (which kind of makes sense).
Glad you finished all your high priority tasks and made it to working around extensions doing funky things ;-)
Why can't they then just offer their network of "helpers" as a service to any brick-and-mortar store for in-town delivery.

Rather than waiting for a consumer to say they want something from store X -- go to store-x and have them whitelabel the personal delivery service right in their website.

So I go to store X, buy product Y and wunwun is the glue that gets it to me.

I don't even need to know who wunwun is... but then when I get my thing from Store X delivered to me, a little card says "Want your own personal delivery service? Call WUNWUN and we will get you what you need, whenever and wherever you need it, all starting at just $10!"
Great! Could you reply when the new version is up?
Yuck. What other providers would you recommend that don't have such in their ToS?
If you read reviews from Zappos employees on GlassDoor starting a couple years back, you got the impression that Tony's heart wasn't in zappos anymore, it was in the Downtown Project.

I wonder where his heart is now? It's sad to see, Tony's Vegas ambitions were so wild and unique. It was impossible not to root for him.
While its true we would like you to buy a larger plan, in other countries even $5 USD can be barrier to entry for a speculative idea. Plus, what if you want to tinker, toy and learn? We're trying something new, give it a chance.

CVE-2014-6271 Advisory
right, reddit is "doin' it rong!", that's why their projected growth is so high.

Part of the reason they've been successful is because the default subreddits draw people in. This isn't about some high and mighty "what is 'proper'", this is about what people find interesting to talk about. The default subreddits are not there to scratch the itch of those like you with their nose in up in the air about "quality".

As much as I like having a deep intellectual conversation, I always like enjoy my memes and inside jokes.

People like you lost that war long ago and as much as you'd like to "predict" the downfall of reddit, all signs point to no, you just fail to understand why. That isn't reddit's failing, it's yours.
Theorized but not conclusively shown, as the "Discussion" section in that study indicates. Transmission may have occurred due to large droplets or fomites contacting the mucosal membranes of the monkeys.
I think one of the reasons why Nigeria was able to contain it compared to Liberia and other countries was an awareness of the disease and the enlightenment campaign from the Government. From initial reports that I read, folks in Liberia didn't really believe it was a 'sickness' till it started killing people. Some of them also first tried 'traditional medicine' and only started going to hospitals when things became really bad. There were also reports that folks were not keeping away from people who were under quarantine believing it wasn't really a disease.

On the other hand, by the time the disease arrived Nigeria, the media was already awash with the number of people who had died and so folks were already aware that this was a deadly disease and started taking the necessary precautions. This coupled with a massive enlightenment campaign by the Government helped tremendously.

If you apply the same principle to the US (awareness and if necessary enlightenment campaign), I think your nervousness will be further reduced.
Reddit is barely above 4chan in my mind.
Absolutely. I'm using the word in the sense of a "public health hazard" rather than the "likelihood of not having a good time once you personally are infected" but there is a valid case for not wanting to contract either disease.
The original post describing the malware in detail:

https://www.lacoon.com/lacoon-discovers-xsser-mrat-first-adv...

Also worth noting is that they don't have an attack vector for it at present or any evidence it's been deployed. Seems like an 'in development' version that was latent on the control servers, since you have to jailbreak and get the package through Cydia.
There should be a reddit of subreddits - a way to vote them up and down in order to determine the defaults.
Thanks for the feedback. We have a new interface & website, but weren't able to get it up by launch time. I agree, DO's interface is prettier, as well as their website. They do a great job with the design over there.

So you tried to launch this with great fanfare and couldn't be bothered to review your AUP? Or the copy in most sections of your site (typos, unmatched tenses, random spaces or lack thereof)?

Why should I trust you with my information if you can't even handle your own?

What kind of abuse do you think it is preventing? How does it prevent abuse from anyone but the least motivated abuser? If I wanted to abuse your service, I could pay people $0.50 on mechanical turk to register accounts for me (indeed this is a fairly common low-skill-low-reward task on mturk).

I'm sorry but this plus the launch of your HIPAA hosting, which was also plagued by typos and wrong ToS, doesn't inspire any sort of confidence in your abilities at Atlantic.net.
"Why?" Because money; of course. Did you think "lean" companies shipping "MVPs" were the only guys around shoveling shit out the door as long as it sells? Also, the medical and SCADA fields are notoriously bad at security (but have been catching up, SCADA more than medical).
Oh you could seamlessly-ish share data between c++ cross platform and java/swift? That would be pretty useful!

So this kind of flow would be pretty simple right?

1. C++ cross-platform layer receives a text message, records it in the realmDB.

2. Java/ObjC UI watcher on that realmDB table automatically gets a callback update.

3. UI gets updated with the new message being displayed.

4. The app gets killed because of a crash, the new message is still safely recorded in the realmDB, user sees it on app relaunch.

Bad climate and lack of water are two common misconceptions applied to both Las Vegas and Phoenix.

Both are hot and dry, which many people love. Hot and dry > hot and humid, which is Texas, Florida, and most of the area in between. Nevada, Arizona, Texas, and Florida are the top retirement destinations for folks from the Midwest and Northeast, sick of cold and snow. Personally I prefer Las Vegas to the others because it's dry and doesn't have bugs (unlike Texas and Florida) but it's not quite as hot as Phoenix (which runs about 10'F hotter).

Water wise, Lake Mead is the largest reservoir in the United States, less than an hour's drive away from downtown Las Vegas. Lake Mead's water is used by several states under a complicated water sharing agreement, but push come to shove, you can't physically move it out of Nevada. No significant water use restrictions have been placed on Las Vegas. By contrast, look at the situation in California, where some towns have had to resort to trucking in water because even their groundwater resources are entirely depleted.

I will stop being concerned about Ebola as soon as I start seeing this log-scale graph start bending down hard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Evolution_of_the_2014_Ebol...

And note the WHO already did bend the curve down once before, back when there were only a couple hundred cases, and then they lost control again. Not confidence-inspiring.
Headline: "First confirmed case of Ebola confirmed in the United States: CDC"

Article: "[...] an unnamed patient was being tested for Ebola [...]" (emphasis mine)

Besides the obvious pleonasm in the title ("confirmed [...] confirmed" doesn't make it doubly so), nowhere in the article does it say that anyone is certain that this man actually has Ebola, as obviously, tests are still being done. Until the results of these tests are in, there is no confirmation.

Is this some kind of reading comprehension test being dumped on HN? For what nefarious, crowd sourced, statistical research project? <grin>
> hopefully change the culture to be more logical.

And why exactly would they do that? It seems to be working out pretty well for them.

I'm not arguing that the culture is good in any transcending way, but it would be hard to argue that it's not working.
Are there any gems/methods that combine authentication along with multitenancy in a turnkey solution? (Devise + Apartment)
Common: sadly, yes. Acceptable? Yikes no!

Important details: whose passwords are being logged? His own? Other co-workers? Management? Clients? Is management or anyone else for that matter aware of this? How are they being logged? As part of an application or some sort of active traffic monitoring?

Context is king, as in all things - this could be anything from a junior dev fresh out of college with some bad habits that he'll need to be coaxed out of, to a malicious employee logging client passwords to keep them on hand when he leaves so that he can sell to the highest bidder on some Russian cracker forum. It's probably not kosher no matter what the context is, but it's hard to offer advice on how to react to this without knowing more details.
It has nothing to do with bitcoins as the currency is backed by reddit stock, they are not the standard alt-cryptocoin idea.

They will be 100% premined, with all coins given to a pool which then is distributed to people who contribute to reddit. So people won't have to build bitcoin farms or the like(nor would it help them get any redditcoins).

There is absolute nothing prevents somebody who is not into bitcoin from taking part in redditcoins(or whatever they are going to call them), it is just a way to:

* Allocate a fraction of reddit stock to be converted into discrete sub-stock-unit chunks

* Allow the distribution of said reddit stock to reddit contributors

* Allow redditors to transfer said stock

* Do all above without any financial transactions.
I'm not sure I would optimize my life for the deathbed version of me any more than I would for the 20 year old version of me. Those guys are crazy.
Glacier definitely has a cost advantage for archiving, although Google DRA offers a compelling price/ease of use tradeoff. Day-to-day storage is less clear; both AWS S3 and Azure have competitive offerings and Google is rapidly improving. Some of the other providers have advantages that a tabular comparison does not capture, for example Joyent offers a fused compute and storage solution.
"He appeals every response as a matter of principle: “I don’t care if they’re like, ‘Here’s a bunch of documents.’ Still appeal. There may be something left. Have them perform another search. Because they’re just terrible at it.”"

"It’s a letter from the Postal Inspection Service. He asked them for… something. “To be honest with you, I don’t remember,” he says. “This was not even that long ago. Um.”"

This guy appears to be wasting bandwidth of the people and indirectly causing bureaucracy he is so hellbent on fighting against. I do agree that we should have more open government, but I think he is going about it in a wrong way.
Ebola already spread to Nigeria, but it seems to be contained now. Nigeria has more urban population but less resource than South Africa, so I don't think South Africa is the worst case.

> Water wise, Lake Mead is the largest reservoir in the United States, less than an hour's drive away from downtown Las Vegas. Lake Mead's water is used by several states under a complicated water sharing agreement, but push come to shove, you can't physically move it out of Nevada.

Actually, it really wants to move out of Nevada on its own, which is why it takes the Hoover Dam to keep it there -- and, even so, its not all in Nevada to start with.

And, push come to shove, the Colorado River is dammed further upriver than Lake Mead, so, in a sense, the reservoir could be moved out of Nevada. (As the reduction in releases from Lake Powell to Lake Mead recently demonstrates.)

Or, more importantly, it could cease to exist as useful reservoir with only a few more of the poor water years without a significant break that have been the norm since 2000.
How is Sketch file support? When we've tried to share files via Dropbox it's constantly stepping on each others toes just when someone tries to open it for view-only. Makes collaboration difficult between a designer and a developer.

> Do not call the police.

What? So if I'm getting mugged, murdered, or robbed I should just accept it?

Or maybe I should build a personal arsenal so as to protect myself from all possible threats from criminals?

This all sounds ridiculously Hobbesian to me.

I'm no fan of the police, but the alternative isn't a state of nature.
Setting aside the misdirected sense of entitlement, the primary problem with your post is the assumption that every piece of software is required by some unwritten contract to fulfil several goals, to wit:

- it must look like whatever you're already using

- it must aspire to the maximum possible user base

- it must adapt to latest technological fashions

while these are extremely valid requirements for a commercial product, plan 9 is very much not one. it is a research operating system, and no new knowledge would be gleaned by re-re-reimplementing PARC products.

your definition of "hospitality" seems to involve the willing acceptance of UI trends that some people regard to be disgusting garbage. why is it not sufficient to let people who prefer plan 9's interface use it? why do you make the assumption that user acquisition was in any way an intended result of this operating system's development?

flip your hypothesis over. why has nobody written an interface for plan 9 that meets your expectations? the answers to this question may help you understand why nobody who uses plan 9 cares that it doesn't work like an apple product from 1984.
I am having a hard time understanding why people keep saying that donations are the way to go to solve this issue. From what I have seen, many rural communities are rejecting and acting against foreign assistance. I am not sure of the circumstances in urban settings, but I read that they are just as superstitious. How can we help those that do not want our help, especially when it is deadly to help either because of the disease or fear of attack?

Very fast flight from LA, fast flight from SF. Massive amount of business travelers for conferences. Largely because of the proximity to California Vegas has a fairly good pool of employees. There are a lot of promising alternatives that just fall flat on their face in this regards (whether you have a tech startup or a factory, good luck in Miami.)

There is plenty to not like about Las Vegas but it is one of those places things make more sense when closely examined.

Water is a long term concern but depending on climate change, 200 years out a lot of major world cities will be gone, Las Vegas may very well still be around.

Right, but you're still forced to sign up in the first place.
'Was' obviously is in past tense. If there is high likelyhood of it being Ebola, the article should have made that clear in the very first (few) paragraphs, like stating that further tests are being done to strengthen the confirmation.

Edit: Ah, I understand now that the CDC has a rather peculiar definition of "case" of illness, see giarc's comment below for a link.
It can be very serious, yes. For most, it's not, and anti-vaxxers seem to consider their own lived experiences to be better evidence than stats like "thousands die from flu every year".

I have a medically sensitive daughter and the folks who go "flu's not that bad, just get it and move on" drive me insane.
It would be cause for concern if it started spreading in the South African public healthcare system, where infection control (or doing their work) is not a high priority for many staff (http://www.scielo.org.za/scielo.php?pid=S0256-95742010000700...).

On the other hand, private hospitals have the same, or similarly trained nurses, who do a great job. So hopefully the nurses' self-preservation instincts will kick in, and similar levels of isolation to those found in advanced healthcare systems will be deployed quickly if it starts spreading in the public healthcare system.

If the people who self-identify as feminists in practice actually believed that, life would be easy.

As it is, the perception to the vast majority of people is such that I find it more effective to avoid the word and simply advance the equal rights part.

Wanting to avoid associating yourself with the general zeitgeist of thought generated by soi-disant feminists is, annoyingly, quite reasonable currently.

The "makers" of this device had this EULA imposed by Chinese ODM - company licensed by Rockchip to implement their SoC, company holding all the NDAs, all the 'secret sauce', and all the kernel sources that they WILL NOT release because they DONT GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT GPL.

Rockchip isnt a Linaro member. Heh, Allwinter is a group member, and even they dont give a duck about gpl and only release some sources with 6-12 months delay.

Rockchip is hostile, all they do is take from open source community.

BTW: Rockchip ODMs started spreading this cancer beyond Linux kernel. They hijacked XBMC now and distribute closed source fork with hardcoded support for their inhouse proprietary h.265 decoder

It's actually an unsolved problem. Granular permissions have been tried before.
I would say there are two parties, but it's not "Democrats/Republicans", it's "Tea Party/Everybody else".

There's a small group of people making Republican politicians do crazy things (shutting down the government, blockading Obama, various social issues [gay marriage/abortion]), but by and large the Democrats and Republicans are the same.
For something that is supposed to be hard to spread, sure is mysterious how people are getting it. This person wasn't a doctor.

Also, we are relying on another country to screen people at airports before they leave. Somehow I suspect this is not being done in a serious manner, ala-TSA.
As stated by the director of the CDC in the press conference, all air passengers departing the affected countries are screened for fever. Fever is most often the first symptoms present, and therefore you can logically believe that if the passenger left Liberia and is on a plane, he does not have Ebola (or is not symptomatic for Ebola). Therefore I would be fine sitting beside him.
As a mod of two defaults, I agree that this might be a good way forward. Right now, adding a popular but non-default sub to the default set is a very quick way to decrease the quality of the posted content, and can nearly kill the community unless the mods are extremely proactive.
