I'm far less familiar with DotA in this regard (and other regards) but I'll hazard a guess.

My not-at-all-certain observations are that 1) DotA's jungle is more complex and perhaps a bit larger and 2) DotA's terrain behavior is more advanced [tree removal, cliffs overlooking the river]. These factors would probably make it more difficult in DotA to place wards in the jungle in a way that is highly likely to yield solid intel — you can get a fairly good amount of safe coverage with a defensive ward on the cliff near river, as well as along the river exit once you've advanced past the river. To the best of my knowledge, you're just not going to learn as much from jungle wards in DotA, because of the sight lines and the difficulty of enemy jungle invasion (and perhaps because of the random invisibility rune spawns, though I don't know how much of a factor that is). Contrast all of that with LoL: accessing the enemy jungle is comparatively easy, and key ward placements on the enemy side (especially tri-brush, blue buff brush, and river junction at wraith camp) are almost certain to be high-information investments.

Additionally, in LoL you have to teleport to a friendly creep, structure, or ward; the secondary nature of a ward as a rally point is something that increases the stakes of ward superiority. In DotA (if I'm not mistaken) the teleport limitation is not the same, so the pressure is not the same. I'm sure there are also itemization and ability factors that I have no knowledge of whatsoever. If I'm horribly wrong on this, I welcome a more experienced perspective!

EDIT: `chc has more specific intel on the wards themselves. The team-wide limit on observer wards is a distinct difference!
Agreed. My favorite is still any post discussing Flouride bonds, particularly FOOF

I can't fathom why the FBI would have been required to obtain a search warrant in this case because they weren't the ones who searched the servers - the Reykjavik police seized the data under Icelandic law and handed it over to the FBI[1]. According to the FBI's testimony[2], the CAPTCHA on the login page was leaking the site's IP address. The "hacking" that the defense is accusing the FBI of conducting was apparently entering a few invalid logins which caused the CAPTCHA to appear.

As an analogy, if I keep a murder weapon hidden on my property, the police are required to get a search warrant. If I instead keep it at my friend's house, I have no 4th Amendment rights when my friend gives it to the police, especially if the crux my defense is "it wasn't my gun."

"The FBI is obviously lying about how they got the information they have. They clearly broke into the Silk Road servers."

This isn't obvious at all and the only backing we've seen for this is some butthurt speculation. Meanwhile we know for a fact that the Silk Road IP had leaked multiple times in the months before the FBI claims it leaked to them.
I think he means, that when a client make a request, the API server will now what version of the API it is calling, then whatever data the api call created/updated, the version of the the API being used will also be stored into the data.
It's more about breathing in screws and especially the nuts, which is unfortunately very common with kids and small objects.

In my city the ER departments in the hospitals regularly deal with kids having their airways blocked e.g. due to small Lego pieces. I nearly got myself killed at the age of three or something like this by inhaling a small stone...

GetScale and Upverter are both working to make the PCB iteration process faster and cheaper.

Sourcing components turned out to be a big source of delay for us at Anybots. It was hard to communicate with vendors, and some parts had 8-week lead times.

It's important to have a process for iteration. For example, trying a new component requires:

- calling vendors
- getting samples
- doing mechanical integration
- doing software integration
- testing

Each of these steps required our engineers to focus on the issue for a while. Without someone managing the timeline, projects could easily stall.
I understand his stance, but I don't think the point really stand up.

Articles about SPAM can be engaging. But, that hardly means people support the activity. IMO, duping in online games is the same basic thing as it's a classic free rider problem. People are not going to buy duped items in a single player game it's only the 'non' duping players that make item duping a profitable activity and their game play is harmed by it.

Performance enhancing drugs fall into the same category. The methods/chemistry might be interesting, but clearly 'clean' athletes (and arguably the fans) are harmed by the activity.

They gave the exploit a "1337 compromise" award, so it is almost as bad as it gets.

Yes, that statute requires a warrant. However, the exclusionary rule is only applicable to one with a "reasonable expectation of privacy." In the hypothetical, C does not have such an expectation, and therefore C cannot challenge the admissibility of the evidence notwithstanding the statute.

i bought a MBP a year ago, so i can learn rails on it. I've been a PC guy for the longest time. But rails development on a mac is just so convenient. Unfortunately at work, we're a PC shop. So do our development on a debian VM using virtualbox. It works fine. So if you have the money, go for the MBP. Other than that, I highly advise not to do rails development on Windows....use a linux a distro in a VM
Ah, thanks for explaining — from the discussion of your job applications for Google and financial situation, I'd thought you were still seeking employment. Glad to hear that you're working on something!

Actually Doug Cutting himself (who created Hadoop) tweeted about this. I guess Spark gets some of his blessing :)

As pointed out in the article multiple times, we are comparing with MR here. We are not comparing with Hadoop as an ecosystem. Spark plays nicely with Hadoop. As a matter of fact, this experiment ran on HDFS.

In terms of vibrant community, Spark is now the largest open source Big Data project by community/contributor count. More than 300 people have contributed code to the project.
But the judge would have let him establish merely "a personal privacy interest in the Icelandic server or any of the other items imaged and/or searched and/or seized", which sounds like "using", but not necessarily "owning".

Which makes it even stranger, because I don't know how the judge would reconcile that theory with the third-party doctrine, which (in my layman's understanding) seems to be about what you said; namely that since some person(s) shared all the information in the image with the ISP, it wouldn't be subject to anyone's Fourth Amendment protection. Or is there some line between a hosted email account and a VPS; where the email has been "shared" with the host, but the VPS's contents can't sufficiently be shown to have been "shared" and thus are still protected?

I think you're confusing the meaning of "unalienable" rights. Unalienable rights are rights that can't sold, traded away or taken... it's not really related to whether someone is from a different country.

But it's an easy mistake to make because it's a totally archaic word.
Imagine if you have an IT company with a server. Your server can handle 1000 concurrent users. It is running slowly because a lot of people try to access it.

So you buy another server. Now you have 2000 users, but once again it is starting to run slowly.

You decide to stop there. Clearly, more servers wont help. You'd just get more and more users.
I see a huge number of comments on this thread implying that carefulness is related to the road danger. It's the perceived danger that matters. You don't need to make the roads more dangerous, just need to make them look so.

I'm not from USA, and on the last time I visited it, I noticed how recklessly people drive on the highways, most of them were on the phone, eating, or doing something else(there was even a lady fixing her hair with her right hand, talking on the cellphone with her left hand and holding the steering wheel with her elbow, that freaked me out).

If those people behave the same driving on a street, I can see that being the cause of the majority of accidents, since the reaction time for events will be smaller, since most occurrences happen within a few meters of the car.

Finally, I know that this is not the focus of the article, but the USA cities need to focus more on the people that either cannot or will not(like me) drive. LA, LV and Miami, for instance, were pretty hellish until I finally gave in and rented a car, with poor public transportation and pedestrian access.
Great article; it got me wondering how much the oxygen weighs that an elite runner would use in the course of a marathon...
No, logically those are not the only two options. What about the possibility that the guy says it doesn't belong to him, but he's lying? That's essentially the prosecution's position right now, since the defendant has refused to admit the server is his even though that admission would not itself be admissible (as it would have been made to the court, not the prosecution).

Legal rulings are like scientific papers - you should not rely on how the press reports them to get a full understanding of what they mean. Read the original document on which the report is based, which addresses the dichotomy you are imagining.
Developing side projects while parenting
Shouldn't evidence be inadmissible based on how it was obtained? An illegal search is an illegal search regardless of what was searched or who owns it.

I'm not a fan of the defendant here, but I am a fan of holding the authorities to the rules. You know it's their job to uphold the law.
I prefer the enforced look of Facebook to the custom MySpace themes. That being said, MySpace is definitely the reason I first learned CSS and JavaScript. I might not have become a web developer without it!
The analogy very well might be imperfect. It doesn't seem like this particular distinction is all too valid though.

How many of those are CyberCoders? I've heard that their software is setup so that every time a recruiter there does a search, it e-mails every single matching candidate in their database. A single search results in roughly 5000 e-mails. As a result, they dwarf the e-mail volume of every other recruiter out there.
I did (friggin verbose!). My point is that people come out of the woodwork with "the sky is falling" messages all the time. More often than not they are full of crap and the opposite is true.

I'm not a kid any more. I am not easily impressed. I've seen too much of this over the years. Particularly around elections.

Living in Los Angeles I see people crossing the street ALL THE TIME without even looking for traffic. I mean, they just continue walking off the sidewalk as if cars did not even exist. Having traveled to many parts of the world and all corners of the US this has always been rather perplexing to me. It is somewhat unique to California, I think. To see people with such low apparent common sense is jaw dropping. Anywhere else in the world they'd be flattened in a microsecond. In Amsterdam you'd have 15 bikes pile on top of you. Unbelievable.

My point is that there are a ton of factors behind how people get hurt or die on and around roads. Someone else was far more eloquent than I care to be right now about how studies can be total garbage. He or she was far more gentle and politically correct than I am interested in being any more. Crap in Crap Out. Bias in Bias Out. That's what a lot of these studies are.

One can scaffold a bunch of bad conclusions and paragraphs from a bunch of crap studies and build a seemingly solid foundation for the conclusion that if we had less men wearing ties the mortality rate while riding bikes in Manhattan would go down. In other words, more crap out.

We have far more important things to worry about than to devote billions of dollars to repainting all of our streets. Take that money and use it to lift people out of poverty. Maybe we can do a study that shows how not spending money in bullshit projects supported by a maze of bullshit studies and, instead, using that money to truly support the education and growth of the economically disadvantaged might reduce mortality rates when the clueless cross the streets in Los Angeles?

Sorry for the tone. I find that as I get older I am far less tolerant of bullshit the might have tantalized me when I was a twenty-something. It's amazing what a few decades of perspective can reveal to you about people, politics, business and society. Not grumpy, just a realist. I think.
The two things do not exclude each other. An IP is not a magic key that will open all doors.
"Telling it like it is" is typically a cover used by assholes who want to give a simplistic, boneheaded, confrontational opinion completely devoid of context and empathy.
That's just the way it works. I agree with you, but the courts don't.
> even though the prosecution could not put such an admission before the court

Can anyone explain "though it could be used to impeach him should he take the witness stand" from the article? Sounds like this pre-trial statement could effectively constrain his options during the trial, so it's not like it's perfectly safe or inconsequential for him to have said this pre-trial.

I'm always amazed at the hazardous chemistry that some labs do! They are obviously taking the necessary precautions, but I'm not sure I'd have the guts to do it.

I worked as a chemist for 7 years and witnessed 4 serious accidents, 3 of the 4 due to oxidizing agents (2 of them were peroxides). Some of the folks have scars to this day because of it.

Isn't this -- at least in spirit -- what IPython notebook tries to do? In IPython, you can use shell commands with a bang, e.g. `!ls -l`. And `ipython notebook` uses ZMQ to connect the server and client.

At any rate, awesome work. I've been thinking for a while, offhandedly, about the idea of piping web URLs around. But I don't know how in fact it would work under the hood. I write a lot of API interfaces in my work, and it's all in the details -- every API is different in small but important ways.

If only that were true -- the shuffle is typically seek-bound when the intermediate data doesn't fit into cache (plenty of papers show this pretty conclusively).
There's actually a ton of data to support the idea that making activities feel more dangerous makes them safer. I actually gave a talk on this topic a few years ago: http://www.onlineaspect.com/2010/07/05/ignite-boulder-11/

How to Live Dangerously by Warwick Cairns is a great book on the topic as well.
I'm frequently surprised by the lack of sidewalks everywhere outside of the downtown core of many cities. Perhaps its different in cities I haven't been to, but compared to where I grew up in, it does seem like everywhere else is car-first. Its not just the states or even big cities, I've lived in a small town in Ontario that was similar.

It makes me wonder if its related to the age of the area. Newer areas seem to have more sidewalks.
Kmart Investigating Payment System Breach
You sound pretty smart (or at least you think you are).

If you are so interested in proving me wrong about the shift from 55 to 65 not having resulted in blood running down the streets (which is exactly what was predicted back then) go do the research yourself.

I don't think I need a research paper to know that AT WORST it made no difference at all. I was not in diapers when this happened. I had already been driving for a while. So, I went through the transition as and adult. Was exposed to all the "the sky is falling" crap and come out of the other side, years later, realizing these people were all full of it.

Had the transition been horrific the media would still be counting the dead every day just like they did for the Iraq war.

Don't believe me? Fine. Go figure it out. I don't need to waste my time on something I already know to be true.
> Such people often express their judgments harshly. It's worth remembering that the same harshness inevitably applies to themselves; one doesn't get to handle that acid with gloves.

That's just world theory. The real nature of the thing is, that if they maintain that kind of cognitive dissonance, they never reap the benefits of conquering their own biases. But this sort of "judges judging judges", I always seem to get lost in it as well.

> This dichotomy plays out on HN all the time, though rarely so vividly. Both groups are well-represented both on HN and among programmers in general.

It does, but I think calling it a dichotomy is a misrepresentation. In complex systems, black and white are arbitrary, it just depends on what content you highlight and compose inferences from, and what you discard.

> The thread is more interesting than that.

I agree.
Interesting idea, I'm starting a startup consulting company and plan to be more expensive but laser focused on early stage startups with < 10 employees. How has the initial reaction been towards your service? Do you have customers?

One thing I've noticed as a freelance developer is that people are more willing to commit to per project contracts rather than hourly. I wonder if that's the case with a service such as yours where it's a one time deal.

You have a broken link:

This article completely misses the point of having wider lane path ways. Wider lanes help increase the speeds of vehicles and studies have shown that high speed traffic works far better than slow traffic. Just look up ramp metering where they deliberately keep too much traffic off of highways to maintain speed and maintain safety and maintain efficiency of roads.

The cases where narrow street widths work better are places where there is more stop and go traffic like downtown areas where majority of the residences are crowded with store-front development. There instead of insisting on narrow lanes, you should insist on complete street designs that appropriately designs for all kinds of traffic.

New urbanist movements seem to be behind this kind of lunacy of trying to create traffic conditions more difficult for cars. In New York, this trend has been set of by the Bloomberg administration and is labeled/marketed as traffic calming. It is really traffic impeding and is the center piece design of urban environments. I admit there are various benefits to it, but the underlying motivations are to be anti-gas guzzling vehicles.
In this case I would agree, probably relatively easy to scale.

I've long thought about the differences in scalability and margins when comparing service-based businesses to product-based ones.

In the ad agency world, it is all service-based for the most part still, margins are razor thin, pay is low, and the stress is massive. The problem then becomes maintaining quality of service as you scale, and efficiency of operations to keep your margins as healthy as possible. Stressed out service employees are basically the equivalent of delivering a shitty product. If it becomes a big enough loss in quality, you lose customers.
But that's what I'm saying? If the market is happy tomorrow, you might expect Yahoo to pick up some steam, but of course that doesn't make it any more of a viable company.

Indeed the relative comparisons are at the heart of the problem. They come so natural to humans. Everybody drives daily, how dangerous can it be? This very poster attests to the fact that he feels perfectly safe in a multi-ton steel vehicle moving at 65 mph, propelled forward by repeated explosions (well, that part is a bit hyperbole).

So while society tells you it's perfectly safe and why don't you think about those terrorists thousands of miles away, just looking at the absolute numbers for traffic related mortality tells us that the problem is very freaking huge.

fourth amendment protections will not save you. Am I reading this right?
Essentially, yes. The performance benefit that transducers provide can also be obtained by using iterator versions of map, reduce, and filter.

Unlike those traditional functions, however, transducer versions are composable. So I can put a whole bunch of maps, reducers, and filters in a row, and assign that composition to a variable. Then I can apply that composition to any type of collection and know that it only requires one pass.
The idea is terrible because you lack the qualifications to answer questions outside if your own personal expertise (whatever that may be). Second, assuming you get questions, you will be working at $20-10/hour. Not much money. So yeah, two thumbs down. awful idea
He wanted the ability to claim 4th amendment protections on his server while simultaneously denying that it was his server. For the government to tell him he can't have it both ways in fact seems almost the opposite of Kafkaesque
Even if I agree with most of that, I don't think keeping the road wide and using the outside area a bike lanes will work. People are going to see a wide road and drive fast anyway. I suspect you'd have to actually narrow the road, not just reallocate the concrete. But TD;DR maybe that was covered and I'm wrong.
