I highly recommend Prince/Docraptor as well. However, if you don't have complex layout needs and don't need CSS3 features use wkhtml2pdf. You just have to dynamically layout the page you need and use pass it thru wkhtml2pdf. There are many gems if you are using Rails.
Notice how quickly the #gamergate contingent dropped that to go back to talking how Anita/Zoe/Brianna totally deserved it and how gamers are being oppressed by a vast SJW conspiracy?

This is not what a real campaign to improve journalistic ethics looks like.
Looks like Highcharts.
To me, no selectable text and full page background images.
Sounds like that's mostly the lack of incremental compilation, which is being worked on.
I disagree. The fact they can now mass produce insulin producing islets and have a mechanism of ensuring the immune system doesn't attack them means it's very likely to be a long term cure.

The mice they have been testing have maintained their glucose at human levels for months (they generally run 60-80 points higher than humans). They've binged and fasted them, made them sick and everything and their levels have maintained.

This is definitely promising, don't be such a wet blanket before researching a little bit!
>But it's patently obvious that Anaya is a criminal and engaged in criminal conspiracy to traffic narcotics.

Obvious to whom? Neither having nor seeing $800,000 in cash is a crime. While he may have had reason to be suspicious, that is not what the law requires. There must be actual knowledge of illegal use. Professional gamblers carry this kind of cash and more all the time. They could have been on their way to a poker game for all he knew.

>Most damningly, he tried to isolate himself from information (if you don't suspect a client of being a criminal, you don't instruct them to avoid talking of their usage)

You just indicted every criminal defense lawyer, and most accountants, in America. As officers of the court, lawyers are not supposed to knowingly make representations in court that they know not to be true. For precisely this reason, unlike in the movies, most lawyers will not sit down and ask a client to just tell them everything that happened; actual knowledge of certain facts could seriously damage their ability to defend their client. Instead they analyze the discovery given to them by the prosecution and ask the client questions as needed. Isolating yourself from information is certainly not a crime, and is necessary for many people in order to properly do their jobs.
> I think this is more like putting the car salesman in jail for selling them the getaway car ... and that would be wrong.

They did not go after, or put in jail, the people that sold the cars to the drug dealers, because, as you say, that would be wrong. They went after the person that knowingly made it possible for the drug dealers to commit their crimes.

> You can say the same about every bank in America, which facilitates the same.

Actually, they do stop doing business with you when reasonably believe you are committing a crime.

Well, Diaspora* is open source and decentralized(somewhat anyway), so I think it would probably be difficult to compromise the majority of it. I'm not sure though. I suppose if a subtle error was submitted in a pull request(?)?

I suppose that any single pod could be compromised fairly easily, and some of the larger pods have a large number/portion of users, so just compromising some of the larger pods could be sufficient.

Also, iirc, Diaspora* has been said to have some security and privacy concerns,

But I thought it would be good to mention that there isn't really a single "Disapora*" which can be told to give up all the data for all users, because different users use different pods. (And I think a collection of pods can be somewhat isolated from the rest maybe? I'm not sure.)
>The specific instance of "corruption" that touched it off was Zoe Quinn allegedly trading sex for good reviews,

It was more the "lying about being harassed by a forum of depressed people to stir up publicity for her game about depression" really.

>Why cling to a name that is--perhaps wrongfully--heavily associated with vicious misogyny in the public perception?

What good would changing the name do? The media that they are against will continue to spread lies about them regardless of the name they choose. This sounds an awful lot like "stop calling yourself feminists because the name has been corrupted by radicals". No, people who oppose the group just want to dishonestly paint them in a bad light. They will continue doing so no matter what the label.
Well, sure. In the limit, I'd be sad if a large portion of humanity chose to use the experience machine [1]. More realistically, I'm sad that Americans spend so much time watching TV, even if it makes them happy.

I think I can at once support this guy's ability to make choices for himself and be saddened that our culture may have socialized him into making a tradeoff that I don't think was worthwhile, in some objective sense.

Perhaps the test I mean is, suppose football didn't exist and then you walked up to this guy in the present day, explained what football is, and then gave him the choice to relive his life starting from high school, but this time with football and all the (positive and negative) consequences he faced. It seems likely to me that he'd reject this out of hand.

"These dudes who don't have particularly noteworthy legal careers have a lot of money and are acting really weird about secret compartments in their cars" almost certainly falls under the reasonable-man test here, though.
I've been thinking lately if it would be possible to create a variant of football that was just as exciting without the collisions and violence.

Most of what makes me like football more than other sports can be summed up into the following:

* Effort matters more than talent - talented teams that are not focused can be upset by less talented teams that are playing harder

* Team game - since it's 11v11 and not 5v5, with a few rare exceptions, no one player can make a team. Everyone has to be working together to win.

* Drama - every game is just a game. no best of 3, best of 5, etc. This combines with the first point to make every game worth watching.

* Strategy - The chess match of how an offense matches up against a defense, how coordinators will use their players' distinct skills to exploit the other team's weaknesses, etc, is fascinating.

* Variety of athletes - I was an offensive lineman when I played football in my younger years, and to put it nicely, I have an offensive lineman's build. So I've always enjoyed that football utilizes a variety of athletes that are skilled in more ways than just speed.

So would it be possible to put all of these, except maybe the last, into a new game that didn't cause brain damage? I think so, I'm just not sure what that game would look like. I sure hope football can get this figured out, because for all of the bad attention it's been getting lately, it is still a sport that brings a lot of happiness to a lot of people.
Genuine question: How would you solve it without gaming it, effectively detracting from its intended goal?
Just a meta-question, but is there some kind of flagging/downvoting system on HN that's hidden to newer users? It seems odd that this thread quickly fell off the top page, below older posts with fewer upvotes.
Doesn't seem to work well from a phone or tablet, at least not that I could figure out after a couple minutes trying
The video-capped facebook chatlogs and her own admissions were evidence enough for me.

However, she is not important.

What is important is the poor behaviour of the journalists. That is what the focus is, that is what's been called into question, that is what people are angry about.

The only people still talking about women's sex lives are the anti-gamergate crowd, trying to smear the movement.
But when you have a personal relationship with clients who make it pretty obvious that they're engaged in criminal activity, you absolutely have an obligation to stop assisting.

This needs a citation for your argument to hold water.

Edit for the down vote:

You made a statement of law on which your argument relied. The burden of proof is on the asserting party. It matters whether the law does actually exists. There is no point in debating the law if what we're talking about is not actually a law.
Can you name me everyone in the "#gamergate contingent" as well as all tweets between the time SoM issue was announced and when Boogie mentioned the "resolution" (in the name of contract changes). I recommend pastebin for large lists.

If not, I would ask ... why has this -> gamergateharassment.tumblr.com [1] <- not been reported by the same journalists that say they are ethical and that GamerGate is only a harassment campaign.

Also, I think things get a bit more messy when the same journalists involved in the issue use their parent companies to shield themselves from criticism. Unless you forgot that time that P.H. smeared Stardock and Cards against Humanity on flimsy "evidence" and then when the same level of evidence comes up about someone else, it's deemed irrelevant. Here I thought being ethical was applying equal standards to people, guess I was wrong.

So, in that case, please explain why Grayson did not need to mention his relationships, or why the Wizardchan harassment was never clarified in a new article (to correct offending publications), or why allegations against Wardell and Tempkin were published (multiple times) as "relevant to the industry" whereas another developer is not.

Where is the exact line? Please fully describe the line in detail so all reading this comment thread can clearly see Grayson, Hernandez, Kotaku et al have not violated any ethics standards and treat all stories and persons equally, and they have not contributed to harassment.

His primary point is that people should not be choosing passwords at all, and should instead use a password manager, except for a select few passwords such as logins for computer and phone, and the password manager master password itself.

Yes, the correct horse battery staple has more entropy than most common passwords, but the point is that we don't need a way of generating better memorable passwords. We can already just generate random, long, completely non-memorable sequences of characters and store them in a password manager, and that's what we should be doing.
> #gamergate started as part of a harassment campaign against Zoe Quinn

The problem has never been about Zoe Quinn.She can f$ck whoever she wants.

The issue is so called "game journalists" f$cking Zoe Quinn then writing articles about her praising her work,funding her through Patreon,and not disclosing the fact that they are also f$cking her.

The issue is "game journalists" colluding in google groups to push a leftwing political agenda that has NOTHING to do with gaming,not even because they believe in that agenda,but because they profit from it directly. This "webpress" has basically become a PAC,there is no difference.The way they opperate,the way they are funded,they have a plateform and they use it to push political bullshit.

It's about corruption.It's about a small elite of journalists and crooks, that knows each other,conspire to drive a political agenda,that is fundamentally extreme and is hurting the independent gaming industry and the independent gaming press.

And yes even leftism or feminism can be as extreme as conservatism or any -ism.

That's all.
> Actually, they do stop doing business with you when reasonably believe you are committing a crime.

Did you read the article? The guy had no idea what they were doing.

The only difference here is that unlike banks, utilities, etc. he's just a small guy who doesn't have friends in the right places, so I guess it's OK to throw him in jail for 24 years.

They had ZERO evidence that he knew what his work was being used for. That's why it's so outrageous.
I know exactly how a license works. The GPL in its wording frustrates the distribution of free and open software precisely in its requirement that all derivative works by default must also be GPLed. This frustration is amplified when one wants to use a mutually incompatible license, like the CDDL. So yes, a license that makes it hard to cooperate with others is infective and judging by how many companies have avoided the GPLv3, is ineffective as well in encouraging sharing.
The article mentions he will appeal. That has happened and he lost. Link to the PDF of the appellate court opinion: http://cases.justia.com/federal/appellate-courts/ca10/12-301...

Something is mentioned there that either was not mentioned in the Wired article or I missed it: Anaya admits that he knew particular customers were buying compartments for illegal purposes. He just didn't know what particular illegal use they were going to be put to. He's basically arguing that to "knowingly" join a conspiracy, you have to know its objectives and scope, and he says he lacked that knowledge.

It's probably a bad idea to do business with people who want to use code words when they talk to you on the phone. The appeals court mentions an intercepted call where Anaya told the drug traders he could put "3 speakers" in a Camry for $2,500, where "3 speakers" meant a compartment to hold 3 kilos.

His sentence is way too long. He's not the lynchpin of the drug trade the prosecution made him out to be, but he does not appear to be quite the innocent bystander Wired makes him out to be either.
I once heard an interesting idea to implement not a per-player weight-limit, but a per-team weight limit. The average weight of the Seahawks (my home team) active roster this year is 246 lbs. So, for the sake of example, maybe shave 7-8% off of that and say that the 11 guys on the field for any given play can't weight more than 2,500 lbs combined.

That would give teams a bit of wiggle room to use huge linemen if they want to, though the tradeoff is smaller ball-handling players.
No, I haven't noticed that. In fact, discussion of anita and zoe is banned on most gamergate forums because of throwaway accounts being made to try to stir up shit about them. What I have noticed is their campaigns to get advertisers to pull ad campaigns from corrupt websites. Looks like a real campaign to improve journalistic ethics to me.
This is a HUGE breakthrough.

Not only are islet cells able to be mass produced (one transplant means 150 million cells need to be created), but the challenge of the body not simply killing off these cells too through the device created at MIT really seals the deal.

Without the implatable device, this would not be as big of a breakthrough, but having both the challenge of mass producing these cells and ensuring they are able to survive after transplant without use of immunosuppressive drugs (read hardcore side effects) effectively solved makes this a real, viable solution to this problem.
Some of the best teaching being done today in public schools in the U.S. is in what is commonly called "alternative education." These are special facilities for "problem" students. The expectations are low. The politicians and parents are overjoyed the students bothered to show up. It is very similar in environment to Sudbury schools.

One of the many topics I didn't address in my mini-rant is how, when you stop brutally regimenting education, real learning can occur. It's too bad we don't allow students that haven't committed crimes this same opportunity.
I think the parent meant "alternative to getting sick and having to take antibiotics"

Traveler's diarrhea is pretty common, and antibiotics are one of the prescribed remedies.
Just an anecdote: When I went into a malarial area for only a few days on a field trip in South Africa, my doctor put me on doxycycline rather than anti-malarial medication.
YES. Plus, this kind of integration would make it trivial to change a password, so that could literally be a one-click process in the case of a leak.

And as you say, password managers already have a fallback for sites that don't support the interface, so there would be backward compatibility as it gets adopted. (And likely it will take a long time before businesses like my bank, which requires a password of exactly 6 alphanumeric-only characters, catch on...)
After reading that xkcd style password generation may not be as security proof as it sounds I decided to use Bruce Schneier's method which is just mixing the first letter of each word of a personal sentence with special characters and number to make a password. Considering the quantity on information we leave on internet I fear it might be too easy for someone to parse everything I have written, every places I have been, and everything I have done to come close to the words that I might use to compose a password worthy sentence.
OT but it's wonderful to see those screenshots again. It's been decades since I played that game and I can still remember the hidden tricks in those rooms.
She herself stated that it was her reason for sleeping with them, in the video-capped facebook chatlogs her ex posted. That was enough evidence for me to believe the claims.

Her actions aren't important, however. Gamergate the movement generally wants people to stop focusing on women's sex lives, and pay more attention to the actions of the journalists involved.

You're quite quick to accuse me of harassment and hate.
That a hashtag was hijacked hardly discredits it's original intent. Those hijackers, and any since, have quickly been condemned by people who simply want journalists to have integrity and ethical standards.

If the websites had simply stated that yes, having a conflict of interest with the subjects we write about is poor ethical behavior and we will do things to change this, the campaign wouldn't have taken off at all. Instead of simply addressing gamergate's legitimate complaints, they are still trying to discredit the movement, which serves only to fuel the fire, and ironically, destroy their ad revenue due to sponsors pulling out.
> This is childish behavior, but the thing that caught people's attention was his claim that she'd intentionally slept with the editors of gaming publications to receive positive coverage, which turned out to be true.
> … more tedious historical revisionism …

You couldn't even make it one sentence in without repeating a trivially disproven lie about Zoe Quinn – how exactly is that supposed to convince anyone that you're concerned with ethics instead of harassment?
> His sentence is way too long. He's not the lynchpin of the drug trade

1. Drugs should be legal and sold out of liquor stores to anyone 21 and older.

2. His sentence isn't about trying to cripple the drug trade, but about punishing someone the government does not like.

3. The same motivation could someday be used to prosecute people who serve cheeseburgers to drug dealers at a restaurant under the theory that they were helping those drug dealers to deal drugs (you can't deal drugs if you're starving).

4. It won't be necessary to passed legislation so fucked up as that, existing legislation can easily be twisted to allow for such travesties, and judges rarely put a stop to it.
It's probably better that before 1.0, the development effort concentrates on getting the language right rather than compilation speed which can be fixed later.
I posted this elsewhere in the comments already, but it seems relevant to the "obviousness" claim.

From the decision of Anaya's 2013 appeal [http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-10th-circuit/1642115.html], here's a synopsis of the evidence that swayed the jury to believe he knew what he was doing. Its not just the 800K.

3. Sufficient Evidence of Knowledge

At trial, the Government presented evidence that Mr. Anaya

• built multiple hidden compartments in vehicles for the DTO that were insulated to mask the smell of drugs;

• witnessed $800,000 in one of his compartments in a DTO vehicle;

• used “kilos” as a unit of measurement for building compartments;

• communicated by phone with the DTO through a secret code to discuss compartment sizes; and

• warned Mr. Crow not to discuss the compartments or how they worked with anyone to avoid police detection.

What did you all think of Andrew Mason's talk?
Referring to the GPL as viral isn't done because of the rules about redistributing or relicensing the original work. It's called viral because derivative works that I make which use or include the GPL'd code must also be GPL'd. It thus spreads to other projects due to proximity.
I'ts been said before, but there's a major issue with any program that depends on TSA officers' perception of people as liars or truthful: true positives are going to be swamped by officer bias. In lower-stakes situations study after study shows police officers presuming non-white people to be more likely to be criminals without regard for local statistics. A terrorist group probably has a higher chance of slipping a member by who is or can pass for non-Arab under this setup. I doubt most domestic terrorists (almost universally white) are going to get the same scrutiny no matter how nervous as a frustrated Arab-American woman from Des Moines will. At best they might get checked in case they were smuggling.

The model here relies on teaching officers to select people based on whether they think they're lying, it's a perfect situation for prejudice to distract from actual threats. Bruce Schneier and others have pointed how this wastes resources and increases the attack surface for terrorists, but the TSA has been highly resistant to feedback & criticism. It's the equivalent of having the physical security guys for a building do sweeps at night to look for post-its with passwords. That's not the computer security threat and it's not the breaking & entering one, so why do you have them wandering around in the dark?
I've found banks on average to be absolutely terrible with password security. I mentioned in another comment, my bank requires a password of exactly six characters, alphanumeric only. It's like they're trying to make it as crackable as possible. (I believe the reasoning is that they want you to be able to enter it for telephone banking using a touch tone phone, but obviously it would be far better to use a separate password for that. (Especially since I expect there's little overlap between people who use automated telephone banking and people who use internet banking...))
However, what he did is against the law - building compartments for drugs.

Do you have a cite for that?

I'll just tell you. You are mistaken. Building compartments for drugs is not illegal. This fact is not in dispute. That he was sentenced to prison for it anyway is the reason for the debate.
Before GPLv3, Microsoft extorted millions from companies by threatening them with undisclosed patents that claimed to cover all linux distributions.

GPLv3 was explicitly drafted to prevent this, and as by magic, Microsoft stop issuing the threats as soon the new license was released.

So no, GPL 3 is not hurting open source. It prevented a racketeering from Micosoft that was unethical, legally grey zone then, illegal today, and direct harmful to open source in every possible way.
