It's a tradeoff (like so much in security): limit an IP to N number of quick login attempts, and it's easy for your students to DOS the Drupal-powered school portal (assuming the school is behind a NAT, at least). Often you want more security, and less convenience ... but it's not as easy as "most secure all the time!".

I wouldn't call it "amazing" writing, IMO it's silly sensationalism. Here's a particularly annoying sentence:

There was nothing like staring down
the barrel of a suspected cyberweapon
to clear the fog in your mind.

Yeah, right. Staring down the barrel of a probably non-functional rusty .25 would clear my mind a lot faster than would some random Windows malware.

Which begs the question. After thousands of different Windows viruses have been identified, why is any company anywhere in the world still using that crap on any of their computers? Let alone why does a CA let Windows computers into their infrastructure?

All these happened within last 5 years (and continue to happen).

The rest of the gun doesn't matter. A two inch barrel leaves almost no space for the propellant to expand before it escapes containment (and all its remaining energy is wasted), and no chance for any useful rifling.
In fairness, I could also say that hammers don't encourage carpentry best practices and as a result they cause many more smashed fingers than wood glue. The fact that a tool doesn't prevent counterproductive usage patterns doesn't automatically make it inappropriate for every job.
It's an ARM microprocessor and wifi module. It's powered via its USB port or whatever you hook up to the vin pin. It's basically another cheap embedded platform, but it's got built in wifi. I kickstarted the Spark, and really love it, so I preordered a couple of these. Looking forward to it!
I've always been interested in NoSQL databases, but I never understood the advantage of a schema-less design. Migrations make it so you can change the structure of your data at any time so you really aren't locked into anything. Even ignoring that, your data has to have some kind of shape to it (a kind of ad-hoc schema) and you still have to deal with data whose shape has changed (which migrations take care of for you).
No-one is arguing that they make money from it. Nor is anyone arguing that Apple doesn't do services. They are arguing that they make far more money on hardware sales than services, and thus are primarily a hardware company.
Another company that made this transition a while ago is Oberon Microsystems, who open-sourced their main product with a very liberal license.
I'd say the consumer laptop market is also looking a little scary for them - I think consumers mentally categorize all laptops into two broad groups: "Macbooks", and "garbage". And based on the fact that every major laptop vendor fills out their budget end with embarrassingly bad devices, it's not really an unfair stereotype thanks to the bad reputations these companies have built for themselves.
>If dark RAM would also be cheap, then giving each such processor its own memory could eliminate the need for MMU-s.

Could you explain a bit further? I don't follow.

Wouldn't MMUs be needed just to support (performant) programs with very large address spaces (i.e. need virtual addresses)?

I'm not so sure I believe that they're trying to do a "nice thing" out of the goodness of their hearts. They've held pretty tightly to .NET because in order to deploy anything developed in .NET you needed to buy Windows licenses. Recently that hasn't played out so well. Software developers look to minimize costs and overhead that doesn't contribute to their mission (e.g. licenses and license compliance). There's just zero reason to pay for operating systems in 2014 when there are such capable free alternatives.

So if people won't pay for operating systems what will they pay for? Stuff that still costs them money, i.e. hardware infrastructure and attendant maintenance and administration. Hello cloud. Development shops are happily sending Amazon millions of dollars a month so they don't have to buy servers, set up server rooms, hire system administrators, and worry about things like air conditioning, big UPS systems and emergency power generators, etc.

Alongside Amazon, Microsoft is doing pretty well with Azure. And you can run free operating systems on Azure, and .NET is already well supported on Azure. So what will sell more Azure? Make .NET run on the free operating systems. Now all the developers who like the free OSs on their personal dev systems are suddenly able to develop stuff they can deploy on Azure. What about all the devs that like Macs? No problem, make .NET run on Mac OS X as well.

I think this is all about making Azure services more compelling and more able to compete with Amazon than it is wanting to do "nice things" for the open source community.

Database schemas are a complete waste of time for many applications.

If you have a well defined application data model and you use an ORM that what does a database schema actually get you ? You can centralise and better enforce data integrity within your application.
Even for mechanical ones, isn't it possible to read off the ribbons to see what someone has typed? Granted, there are no spaces but we can still get the gist I imagine.

This is why the right place to put this sort of thing if you're really serious about it is in the corporate charter. Then it does become law as far as the company is concerned, since it's only chartered to operate under the terms of the charter.

Unfortunately, some jurisdictions don't allow sufficient customization of corporate charters to do this yet. It's been getting a bit better recently.

You miss the point: most people think America is a place where hard work and education allows somebody to achieve a middle class lifestyle (aka the American Dream).

Following from this, here's the key point: most Americans want to live in such a society where the American dream is achievable.
I agree with you, but that's not the argument I'd make for "What you eat" over "how much you eat."

The difficult part of managing weight isn't the food. The food is easy - eat less than X amount, and you will lose weight. No, the difficult part of it is mental. Food does more than simply provide nutrients. It satiates hunger and provides pleasurable experiences. People generally don't over-eat because they are lacking nutrients, they over-eat because they want the fun experiences of eating or to drive away the discomfort of feeling hungry.

So if you can give yourself smart choices about what you eat, and make it extra clear what the rules are for deciding things, you can exert a ton of control over how much you eat. Personally, I've lost 40 pounds on keto (an extremely low-card, moderate protein, high fat diet). I know keto does interact with your metabolism, but I suspect that a good chunk of the weight loss was simply by removing a lot of non-satiating calories.
There is no advantage of a schema-less design, because there is always a schema. It is just a matter of whether the schema is made explicit and enforced, or whether it is scattered all over the application code.

There are birds heavier than these, and planes usually handle bird strikes quite well.
The advantage of schemaless is that if you are adding extra attributes (most common database change) then you don't have to do any migration. And migrations have a long history of having side effects as well as requiring Database/Operations teams involvement if you work in the enterprise.

And as I mentioned before the "shape of your data" is quite often defined in your application anyway.
Thalmic Labs Myo Armband. Failed Product
It has a 3 axis accelerometer, 3 axis gyroscope, and 3 axis magnetometer. The special extra it has, in opposition of every other bloody wearable, is it has a 8 channel EMG sensors. Sounds cool, right? Think again.

But... The API is only for Windows and Mac users. What about us Linux users? Is there no API? Sadfully, there is NO corporately pushed API for Linux. So, is there an open source one?

YES! DZHU was the first to write a native driver for Linux, to view and record the raw data! Not only that, but he also leveraged the scipy-learn library to allow creation of new gestures, FAR SURPASSING the current API. There's even a branch, published by jarrelscy that fixes an initialization bug. https://github.com/dzhu/myo-raw https://github.com/jarrelscy/myo-raw

This 3rd party driver and software turns what was a loser dev-kit of yet another accelerometer with hidden magic to something we can all hack and datamine. But, there's always a catch.

Yes, they seem to be serious. The device costs $150. But they want 200$ for the access to raw data!!! And to add insult to injury, Thalmic Labs is looking at making the firmware process sensor data on the device, to keep YOU from the raw data!

It gets worse. I sent them an email regarding raw access. I wanted to see what they would say. Well. I have their response. http://i.imgur.com/TxECSPU.jpg

BTW, that's the response email, requesting $5000 for raw access. Oh, and I have the raw data from my MYO on the screen, recording the EMG data for my raised middle finger.

To me, the most ironic part of the whole situation is Hoover's private behavior...

That aside, there is very little doubt in my mind Hoover was a bad man. The sad part is, many people eventually are bad given the chance and they never even know it. This is why impartial rules and transparency are important.

This may not be a common sentiment, but I look forward to the day when we are governed by machines rather than monkeys. I mean... the constitution, the rules of state and religion, they are algorithms no? Designed to remove as much as possible the corruptible human element from the equation? So why not take this concept a level further?
That's my thinking.

Eventually there will always be another Hoover. But the next one might have better tools. But I think the human race can build a better system based on principals of efficiency, impartiality and beneficence. And maybe after a bit more waste, abuse and needless suffering caused by greed (that is the bottom line with the people who run the Hoovers of the world no?) it will.
Just that opinions off the norm seem to be too readily moved to opacity -> 0. The idea that government shouldn't freely use taxation to fund projects that apparently only return a mild satiation of curiosity is a valid opinion, for example, and was apparently expressed honestly, without malice.

I'm not settled on where I stand with that (I tend towards cooperative and communist ideals) but I certainly don't stand on the side of "those expressing these views need to be censured" (nor censored as it happens); which is what appears to be happening.

It's possibly that I'm being over-sensitive towards the failings of the HN UI as much as anything.
> 600 calories. Eating an extra snack before bed can easily be that.

I agree that it's easy to eat a lot of calories without paying attention, but it's only self-delusion that calls that a snack. That's almost two mcdonald's sandwiches. That's four bowls of cereal. 600 calories is an entire meal.
This study shows a bit of what the general public really needs to understand about personal health: it's very hard to train multiple aspects of your fitness with only one type of activity.

Doing cardio makes you better at cardio.
Strength training makes you stronger.
Diet and hypertrophy improves your body composition.

You'll always hear people say "Oh your legs must be so strong from all those marathons you do." Entirely false, their cardio-vascular system is strong. I can virtually guarantee that any moderately dedicated powerlifter can squat more than a long-distance runner (form notwithstanding). Similarly, a marathoner's lean physique is a result of their diet, which they require in order to be successful at running, not because of their training.

I really wish that more people would take the time to sit down, identify their fitness goals, and ensure that their lifestyle is focused towards achieving their goals. For most people, all this is taking a good look at your diet!
I would also guess that the reason you were let go had more to do with the admission of addiction history then the depression or the combination of both.

I would get some legal counsel and aim for some form of severance in combination with continued health benefits (if you had any) rather then lengthy litigation that will only add to your burden.

Good luck on your difficult journey.

College didn't teach me how to learn. Working a job where I was forced to learn (because my paycheck and the company itself depended on it) taught me how to learn. In the real world, there's no answer key, and no professors or TAs handholding you.

My oldest file is 1975-06-25.

Don't bother. Just buy new disks. Disk capacities double every so often, while being cheaper and more energetically efficient.

Therefore there's no point in spending time sorting out your files, deleting, archiving them. Just copy them to the bigger new disks, and leave them there.

Really. At various times I've made archives (gzip'ed tarballs). They amount to an insignificant size compared to the multiple terabytes of storage currently available on my workstation (200 KB(!) + 8 MB(!) + 16 GB).

It was really not worth the time of sorting them out and archiving them.

Similarly, for backups, I guess it's clear nowadays, that just having various hard disks of the same size and synch'ing them is the most time efficient and safest way to backup. I've spend so much time backuping on various classes of devices (magnetic tapes, optical disks, CDR), they all were time consumming and most of the time, failed to restore correctly at 100%. Hard disk storage is the best, fastest and cheapest.

Now of course, nowadays we're switching to SSD, so there's a little price bump compared to magnetic hard disks, and there are still some worrying about the perenity of data on SSD. But the technology improves, and if you can fit in the capacities (for your budget), this can be used as well as hard disks.

Just wait for "Her". Then sorting and archiving will be done by your personnal AI in a fraction of second. :-)

Use metal for the start of the bullet where the stress is highest, then switch to plastic for the rest of it.
From an academic perspective, bilingualism/multilingualism is no longer considered an explanation for language delay. If you think he is delayed, you should get him checked out. Of course there will always be kids who are faster or slower at talking than "average", whether multilingual or not, without that indicating any problem.
Migrations get expensive and risky when you have lots of data. Being able to do them incrementally is sometimes worth the complication of maintaining code to read older versions. A traditional database doesn't let you do that; you have to execute an "alter table" statement all at once.
The bullet is still metal though, and not 3D printed, all they have to do is regulate the bullet instead of the gun.
If I were to pick some (e.g. Switzerland/New Zealand)

Let me give it a go! Switzerland basically bankrolled the Nazi war machine. Without Switzerland, Germany would have been unable to stash away all of the treasures it stole and likely wouldn't have been able to carry out the Holocaust with the efficiency it did.[1] Pretty bad huh?

New Zealand has a dismal record on aboriginal rights. The Maori make up 4% of the population, but 50% of the prison population. Check out Amnesty International if you want to read up on other stuff. Some have labelled it genocide.

what you'd dig up on the US would still be far, far, far, far worse

That's purely subjective and I'm sure you'd find many who would disagree.

I'm not arguing that the US shouldn't be criticized. What I'm arguing about is the utter shock that people display when they find out the US hasn't been perfect. It almost seems like the US is held to a much higher standard than other Western nations.

Warp Life – Unix processes as cellular automata (2013)
We speak three languages in our family --- Marathi, which is our native language, besides Hindi and English, which are both common throughout India. Our older kid grew up speaking only Marathi at home. She picked up Hindi with here playmates in the apartment, and learnt English at day-care. She is good at all three now. Our second child is going through the same process now. There was no serious confusion in either child's mind, besides the occasional mistake of crossing words from one language to another.

The older kid said her first sentence consisting of three words at 18 months, but the younger kid did not. By that stage, both had a large vocabulary of words to express themselves, and even larger vocabulary of words that they understood.

EDIT: Missed the detail about "since birth". So no, my example does not answer your question, since they were exposed to only one language --- Marathi --- until 18 months.
Looks really interesting. Will this be instant access, or will there be some sort of invite phase?

Medicare has commissioned a research of calorie-restricted diets back in 2007, seeing how obesity was prevalent in the society and Medicare was on the hook to pay for consequences. The full study is available (among other sources) here http://motivatedandfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Diets_...

But in a nutshell, from intro paragraph, "there is little support for the notion that
diets lead to lasting weight loss or health benefits."

I have a 2.5 year old who is spoken only English with me and Spanish with my wife. The one language to one person connection is important so that the child understands the context for switching. (We have a 11 yr girl who went through the same routine and she is bi-lingual although her language development was way faster... she was talking in sentences at age 1) Every child is different. My 2.5 can maybe form 2-3 word sentences...

I personally was brought up with 3 languages (English, Cantonese and Malay), which would be common if you grew up in a multi-cultural country.. no one ever thinks it's a problem there.
