It's a fact that 4chan is directly related to harassment and mass murder. I don't know why you'd dispute this unless you agreed with it.
The display would need to be of the light field type to give a proper 3d vision.
It depends. In Germany, for example, it's illegal to SEED, downloading is not a problem. That's why websites similar to mega upload and russian movie streaming websites are so popular there.

If this thing only gives content to you and you don't give anything back than it's pretty cool.
I use gnus. On my desktop I run offlineimap+fastmail, on my laptop I just use fastmail directly.

Gnus is great for reading/posting to Gmane newsgroups, I would use it for that even if I switched to something else for reading email. For plain mail reading it actually could be a lot better. For example, support for seeing your own replies in a thread is a bit flaky (notmuch.el is better for that), and since Emacs is single-threaded, sending large attachments blocks it (perhaps I should use that relay trick from the article, but then it's not often I use email for sharing big files).

I'm not sure they need to beware - DB\SCNF aren't really competing with the likes of Capitaine Train. If you buy a ticket from Paris to Lyon with CT for example - you're still getting the same SNCF train ticket and they'll get a giant chunk of that money (I have no idea what sort of referral CT get). I suppose its in these rail companies' best interests that someone puts together a nice interface for their ticket systems.

Show HN: Simple Predictive Grocery App (in Swift)
I wanted to learn Swift, and it seems like a list app is the mobile version of hacking together a blog.

So I made a super-simple grocery list app, with naive prediction of what groceries you'll want to add at the moment (based on number of purchases, frequency, and elapsed time since last purchase).

The only evidence given in the article that the previous pope refuted evolution wasn't even from him - it was from something written by one of his advisors as the article states. Seems like it was more of a 'we can make it sound like the previous guy backtracked so lets write a headline to make it sound like something we thought would never happen has happened even though the original thing never happened".

NB: Sorry if I sound a bit aggressive but this article has nothing to do with HN and is click bait. No idea why it was submitted.

Sony isn't one monolithic behemoth. It's a conglomerate of various distinct groups under a loosely coupled ownership.

Also, I fail to see how a push service is equated to any of those. They aren't even related, PSN Hack occurred because of an unpatched vulnerability (an Ops failure). Rootkit was DRM.

The latest Z3 series are wonderful phones, one of the best in the Android ecosystem. That's what they should be judged on, not due to a poor choice of a push service provider!

HTML5 video and audio in Firefox works perfectly in every site I visit. What problems do you hit? I haven't used it on Mac so perhaps the support is less good there.

Some sites don't attempt to use <video>/<audio> in Firefox for me, but that's a site issue, not a browser issue - h264 and webm both work fine.

I got the same impression. People are assuming that by 'flow' he means uni-directional, as in the arrow of time. He is talking about the fact that 'flow' semantically implies something that moves, but movement itself requires time. So to say that time flows would be circular reasoning.

> It's simply a better browser.

Mozilla does not respect the rules of my native OS. For over five years, they insisted that double-clicking the upper-left corner of the window should not close the window like every other app on the system. Nope. They insisted on doing it their way ignoring the complaints of thousands of users.

Firefox also makes you press Shift to use access keys. Totally non-standard amongst browsers and OSes and annoying for devs and users.

Is Firefox the only browser left that hasn't switched to multiple processes?

No, Firefox isn't better and I don't trust Mozilla anymore than Google.

When you talk about what is the rate of a clock, say, near the surface of a black hole, it’s going to be quite different from the rate of a clock here on Earth. So there isn’t even a common time in the entire universe.

Well, isn't there a common time for the entire universe? If we ignore being near massive objects, then observers travelling with the expansion of the universe - i.e. those those who don't see a dipole in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) - then the redshift of the CMB acts as a kind of clock. With the usual cosmological assumptions of isotropy and homogeneity, then there's a big clock for everyone to use.

Response to corollary on #7: "Anyone else" deserves about as much respect as your cat.

The idea that a creature that enjoys destroying your possessions, arbitrarily ignoring you for most of its life despite depending entirely upon you, expects total obedience despite no contribution or investment, has never earned a dollar in its life and has no concept of what a dollar is or why that might be important to it, intrinsically deserves anything so important as respect is ridiculous.

I'm not suggesting you leave your cat or your manager out to rot with the garbage (though I wouldn't argue, in most cases). But to suggest that either of these creatures, by default, deserves any measure of respect is hilarious to me.
Don't be silly. The probability that the NSA works through Google doesn't hinge on magic or the Illuminati at all.

It's quite common that intelligence agencies use front companies to do their work. Look it up.
Correct. All EM Radiation has a frequency ( spectrum ) . The spectrum is useful because it selects which barionic matter interacts with it. This interaction is what we feel as time due to the statistics of the interations ( less events vs. many more ).

None of these points are true in the gaming world so far. Projects are funded based on their ideas, but that does not necessarily entitle the public to a design by committee. Sure, people feel entitled to a voice, but ultimately it's the creators of the game that have the final say. I'm thinking major successes like Minecraft and Star Citizen. Minecraft was pretty much entirely driven by Notch, and Star Citizen is firmly in the hands of CIG.

Now, if they create something that people don't like, sure they will have a tough time getting funded again. But this is a point that is relevant to both the publisher and crowd sourcing model.

I read the book and watched the documentary, "The Fabric of the Cosmos" by Brian Greene.

He gave a good explanation of time. Right before the big bang, the universe was in a 'perfectly' ordered state. Since the big bang the universe has become less and less 'perfect'. What we think of as Time is really just things getting less and less organized.

Memory is reconstructive. Memory is aspirational. Memory is an evolutionary adaptation. Memory is lossy and iterative. Memory is an unconscious advantage-seeking collaborator.

People are (for whatever reasons) given more credit for conscious decisions than for unconscious reflexes, so it is in their interest to make it seem as if their actions were under conscious control. So memory does that for them.
Try Proverbs 28:26- "Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are safe." In other words, those who walk in wisdom perceive the shadow of God and humble themselves, "for the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the eyes of God" (1 Cor 3:19)

Or Romans 1:22. "While claiming to be wise, they became fools." Rom 12:16 "Do not be wise in your own estimation"

Is 5:21 "Woe! Those who are wise in their own eyes, prudent in their own view!"

1 Cor 1:21 "For since in the wisdom of God the world did not come to know God through wisdom, it was the will of God through the foolishness of the proclamation [crucifixion] to save those who have faith." Wisdom ain't all it's cracked up to be

>Where it’s particularly striking of course is when people respond appropriately much faster than the speed of thought. You need only think of a piano player or a tennis player to see that the impression that they are making a conscious decision—“that ball is coming in this direction; I’d better move over here and hit it”—couldn’t possibly be. The time it takes for the signals to get to the brain and then through the motor system, back to the response, couldn’t work. And yet they still have this overwhelming impression that they’re observing the world in real time and are in control. I think all of this is pretty fascinating stuff.

I see this repeated to point that "hence we are not really conscious" or not really in control of ourselves.

But, to me, an obvious answer is that our "thought" is not just the "talk-to-myself" like thought, but also faster unconscious processes, that still weights things and combines our memories and "personality" biases in the decision making, it's just not like an 'inner-dialogue'

Not that it invalidates your point, but USPS is not a company - it's an agency of the federal government, with weird financial implications.

That's the direction of time, which is different from time having an actual "flow" or not.
Hm.. I don't know why you completely changed your reply (I won't quote the original here),but this has nothing to do with my question/concern - how can commoners, workers without a lot of capital, "prepare" for a situation like this (i.e. so that their lives don't break to pieces along with the rest of the economy).
If you stream it through your browser, they still have the same IP, which is used to identify you.

As for prosecution of torrent seeders, that's not really possible anymore IIRC, since the "Vorratsdatenspeicherung" (= stockpile saving of which IP address has been connect to which landline, in case it is needed for law enforcement) has been declared illegal.
AFAIK movie torrents were never really monitored, the focus was always on the latest music releases. I also haven't heard of any fines for torrenting in the last 2-3 years, but that might be because I'm not really in that age anymore.
What's the mindset that ends up with Chrome going out of its way to swap OK/Cancel when you enable DNT? (I don't think DNT is a real solution, but I'd guess Google wants to be able to point to data showing users don't enable it.)

What's the mindset behind the broken permissions on Android? Where any app that wants to change behavior when you get a call must request permission to your IMEI and calling/called number? Or why the broken, upfront, all or nothing model is still even used?

What's the mindset behind G+'s incessant nagging, and forcing it as a requirement to even rate apps on Play? Or the same for YouTube, etc.? Not to mention the "real names" debacle.

At what point are we allowed to say Google's mindset is not "don't be evil" as far as external observers are concerned? Or will everyone that brings this up always be labeled as unable to understand?

There is quite a bit from the last few years. Gene expression in particular is a field we continue to learn a lot about [0] and several studies have suggested Lamarckism might have some merit [1].

Saying there isn't a "shred of evidence" is just scientifically untrue. There is some legitimate evidence that limited information could be passed from mother to child prenatally.

That could quite possibly just being taking advantage of the torrent block downloading. Normally you download blocks based on the least available, but you can pull them in any order you want. This would allow the server to selectively buffer whatever you need fairly quickly.

That said, its likely that they're cacheing.

I agree with you 100% about the English correction, but you do an awful lot of complaining about the field rather than admitting that there was something wrong with your play, and occasionally some thinking that you know the demographics of the person you're taking to, and disqualifying of that person's participation in the discussion based on that fiction.

I keep going back and forth between Firefox and Chrome. Chrome is ahead right now for two reasons:

1. Support for Netflix on linux

2. Webapps as native applications (like the old project prism). We use slack at work and a Chrome webapp is how they choose to support Linux.

Admittedly though, I will switch to Firefox for the rest of the week to see if I can live with these caveats.

There is not "a problem." Not even relevant to this issue. Perhaps many Americans don't understand how authoritarian the nation is becoming, but that is a far cry from a defining or singular problem.

Propaganda is propaganda, as you rightly point out, but equating one regime to another based solely on the fact that it uses propaganda is not valid. Degree is important, and there exist now governments both better and worse in more than degree than that of the US. Ignoring that distinction in your rhetoric makes it hard to take you any more seriously than the propagandists you oppose.

You're also a little far off the deep end with your insistence that the US is somehow blinding the middle and lower class to... what, anything outside of the US? They don't have to do that. Americans in those situations don't have the time or resources to spend that much time looking at or caring about those things, nor would it matter to them in any material sense if they could.

So yes, many Americans would be better informed if they better understood the nature of their government. But no, it would not materially matter to them, they would not end up doing anything about it, and your assertions don't actually end up being meaningful in any useful way.
