As a Japanese I understand your sentiment; now I live in US and I don't praise the huge disparity in the US society neither.

However, your argument is misleading. In Japan, gap doesn't exist as much between occupations as in US, but between employment status; whether if you're a "proper" member of the company (正社員), usually hired right out of school and expected to spend your entire career there, or not. Even if one do the same amount of work, a proper member generally gets much higher pay, enjoys various benefits, and is protected well from layoffs. It's ironic that you brought up nobleness---in a sense, the proper member is regarded more noble, because they swear allegiance to the company, thus payed higher, regardless of what they actually do.
>he hates to see them lose, he said. “They’re always rationalizing,” Randi told me as we walked to dinner at the casino steakhouse. “There are always reasons prevailing why they can’t do it. They call it the resilience of the duped. It’s with intense regret that you watch them go down the tubes.”

It's nice to see that Randi is still able to see these people as human beings, rather than charlatans to be disproved. I was a big fan of his back when I was reading a lot of Ayn Rand and preaching Reason as the only god, and I took a sort of smug pleasure in watching him debunk psychics and mystics. But I realize now that that was just another form of dehumanization.

On an unrelated note, I recall an interview where Randi said he never took drugs because he sought to experience "the realest reality." That strikes me as very odd. Surely hallucinations are a part of reality, albeit a highly subjective part. I'm surprised that someone so involved with the paranormal would have no interest in studying the psychedelic experience.

The ijulia notebook proves to me how much it would be wonderful if the iPython notebook took org babel's direction and made multiple backend support in the same document possible.

It'd be neat, however I realize it would increase complexity of the "reproducible" notebook.

How will they be able to prove anything though? The seller could send an empty box. They'd have a tracking code then "proving" they'd sent the item. The buyer could claim it was an empty box but the 3rd party wouldn't be able to know if it was or not.

A scammer would just have to ensure they cycle 3rd parties so their actions aren't noticed(or cycle accounts). What's to stop that?

Not the same user, but I once tried to get PowerShell to do an ls over FTP for me, and even with copying some sample code it was horribly painful.

I can't speak from broad experience but my impression was that PowerShell does a bunch of common cases fairly well but if you want something a bit different you're bashing your head on your desk.

But that isn't a technical argument. If it had some empirical support it might be an economic one, but it's mostly just an ideological argument. One that, I might add, many software engineers would disagree with.
Our Own Private Germany
Japan has a very large population and appears to value cultural conformity very highly, it doesn't necessarily imply racism to keep immigration low.

There is no single good metric for racism because it is complicated but the average person is probably more concerned about whether they are likely to become a victim of crime because of their race than whether they could theoretically become CEO of a megacorp.
Government work products like statutory text is not typically protected by copyright. I think spullara was referring to model law codes written by private organizations and adopted verbatim by legislatures.

This isn't necessarily bad (fire safety experts writing a model fire code, e.g.) but it does have the effect of putting the law under copyright.
Does anyone know of a Raspberry Pi type board (low cost, Linux capable, good hardware graphics) with HDMI input and output suitable for image processing?

There's some great advice here. I'd like to add to it from the prospective of the people at the large internet service receiving the disclosure.

Every day they possibly get hundreds of emails to their security@ email address. The vast majority of it breaks down into categories of spam and support requests. Then when you have removed that you are left with a pile of "security disclosures", the vast majority of which are a very poor standard, or generated by some sort of scanner software that's returning garbage results.

After this gets filtered the remainder are legitimate issues that need to be investigated. Bear in mind you might not get one of these for weeks and weeks, but you still have to filter the other hundreds of emails.

For all but the largest internet companies (think apple and google), they can't afford to tend to this filtering process 24/7. So this happens Mon-Fri during business hours, and if it's a legitimate report it will make its way to a security engineer.

So, what am I getting at? You've taken the right steps to report this. What you have described sounds like a vulnerability, who knows how long its been there. Given that and the nature of the vulnerability, the likelihood of this been exploited over the coming days sounds low. So we don't have to go to DEFCON 5 just yet. Don't expect companies to react to these reports within hours or over the weekend, theres just too much noise to make this sort of thing feasible. Please give the company a chance to do their thing, this could take a business day or two, just to get acknowledged. And another couple of days to patch (depending on the technical difficulty).

By the way, this is pretty much outlines the value proposition of the Hacker One service[1] and why companies should use them. As bug bounties become more popular, the long tail of garbage security reports will increase and so will the overhead cost to run one of these programs effectively (quick response times, qualified engineers triaging the inbound queue, etc.).

I don't agree that regulated markets aren't sufficiently adaptive to social change. Silk Road was also a regulated market, just one that dealt in mostly illegal narcotics - so this clearly was adapting to the liberalisation of drug laws that is desired by so many.

But if Silk Road had also dealt in child pornography, for example, we can be pretty sure that most people would know about it as a haven for paedophiles, rather than an online drugs den.

My point is that purportedly neutral technologies become best known for their predominant use case. The Internet is mostly synonymous the web and email, as these were its first killer applications. Bittorrent is notorious for copyright infringement, as that is what it is overwhelmingly used for. Bitcoin has connotations of being a get rich quick scheme crossed with illegal drugs currency. And so on.

Despite its intentions of neutrality, as an anonymised, unregulated, decentralised market, OpenBazaar will most probably become known for facilitating illegal trades - of all types.
This seems hugely irrelevant to me. Would you consider using Unix lookalike utilities under Windows to launch an Internet-facing Web server that allows users to do CGI scripts? Because that's pretty much the only scenario where ShellShock would be an issue.

Pedantry noted. It's probably better describing the SheevaPlug as the device that fostered the trend towards plug computing rather than the one that encouraged device hacking as my statement would imply. I mistakenly omitted the key detail that the Dockstar was a custom piece of hardware that was based on the SheevaPlug... Same SOC and features.

I use a set of Unix utils similar to the one mentioned in the post, just to do spiffy things in a CMD shell once in a while.

Other people have already mentioned that this is a much more lightweight kind of process than firing up a whole operating system in a VM. But more significantly, these utils are a bunch of .EXEs I can toss into a directory, possibly adding it to my PATH. Working (sometimes) on a "work" PC with no admin privileges, I think I can't install something like VMWare. I'd also worry about ending up with a big chunk of my memory chewed up as long as VMWare is running.
There are several images of this sort on http://allrgb.com, which collects square images that have precisely one pixel of each of the 2^24 RGB colours.

I've created MOOPH module in JavaScript. Purpose of this module is to make it easy to code a pseudomultithreaded application (so it can be seen as API). This module can be used to create various creative content (games, editors, whatever...). However one of possible pseudothreads may include quickly content from external sites to DOM - making a DOS. If multiple users access such project, it could make a DDOS. I hope this module is copyright protected. I hope anyone who wants to use (publish on their site) this module must ask me (I am author) if I allow use of this module anywhere else than on my domains (where I've uploaded and publish my code, applying copyright).

I don't think it's a good idea to turn off copyright protection of APIs, moving all of them to public domain. Some of them may be "public bad" instead of "public good" if they don't get managed using license agreements.

There is nothing wrong with using the base model as is without upgrading RAM or getting a SSD. Sure, it's only got 4GB of ram and a 500GB HDD, but that's fine for a wide range of uses.

Don't forget a second PC at home can always stream your primary desktop so there is little point to getting multiple high end computers for personal use. Leaving things like a secondary computer for guests or streaming music / video and some light surfing. Making cheap, light, quiet, and low power far more important than a quad cores or a high end video card.

Repeatedly.

Powershell is a wonderful concept but the ecosystem around it, except for Microsoft's own extensions, hasn't really hit puberty.

Also try writing scripts which involve native Windows commands (such as robocopy & company). Things are definitely not intuitive and the error handling is crappy. You either stay within Powershell bounds and everything is wonderful, or you step out and are in a world of pain.
Well you're probably right but after that face full, it went in the bin as i don't have the inclination to see if my time will be wasted again.
I agree with some of the other commenters who said that it would interesting to see articles like this about other countries. IIRC, someone posted a link on HN a few months ago, to a blog in which various people wrote about their experiences in living in different foreign countries. Forget the name of the blog right now. The name might have been a play on a word related to travel.
Seconded.

I had a boss who hired some outside consultants to "find out what our IT department should do in the future". They had no experience in our industry. They asked me some questions and wrote down my answers. When they turned in their report, the boss was happy. For this, they charged $20K.
People treat judges as a way to write laws. Many judges like to use their powers to make rulings on what the law should be rather than is. So I'd strongly argue that yes, in a roundabout way judges are in fact writing laws.
It looks like they're just trying to push people to buy new machines instead of upgrading the old ones, which is disappointing.

Or getting power users to buy the non-base models. I have a 2012 Mac Mini base model, and upgraded it to 16 GB RAM and a 256GB SSD for little cost. It should go without saying that I'll keep it for a while and probably double the SSD in some point in the future.
>It's possible to divorce the original evil uses of the technology from the later good ones.

Yes, but I would argue that doing so in this case means undermining the entire purpose of an anonymous, decentralized marketplace.

The first question most people are going to want an answer to when presented with something like OpenBazaar is "what are you going to do about the pedophiles, gun-runners, drug dealers, etc?"

If the free market's response to this is "nothing, so long as the customer gets what they paid for, everything is cool," then for most people accepting this equivalence will be a non-starter.

I think the only ways to avoid this problem are 1) hoping for a widespread shift in the way most people view the value of the force of law on commerce, 2) breaking the system enough so mainstream users are convinced of its legal integrity, or 3) pretending it's not an issue and redefining the terms by which it's sold to the public. And i'm not entirely certain the latter can scale.

I won't say it's impossible though.
I currently have 2 model B's and one A. I had an unsupported SD card in the beginning, which annoyed me (it wasn't mentioned anywhere that this could happen). But you can check here if a card will cause problems: http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals. After finding a good one: no more problems.

I also blew up a cheap chinese power supply 1A/5V but since I have been using a 2.5A/5V power supply I have had no problems (I back feed it via the "front" usb port, the hub has power on the input line, although that is not recommended.)

After that I never had any problems, 1 has been running OpenElec (XBMC) for more than a year now. Another one switches my lighting, also never any problems (running 24/7 for over a year), it is fed via the USB in my router. One of them also spent half a year in a data-center (http://raspberrycolocation.com/), it never failed.

There is no excuse for being treated so poorly on the forums but I have the feeling like you just had bad luck so far. It happens, My Moto G had yellow pixels and a failing audio system. Still a good phone judging from the experience of others.

If you really just want it to work out of the box, buy the recommended power supply (2A/5V I think), a good SD card or a preinstalled one with NOOBS (http://www.raspberrypi.org/help/noobs-setup/).

I probably should have but I am disinclined to bother with it or promote it after getting a face full.

If you can't hot plug a USB device, forget it.

Power supply was a Thurlby PL330 linear bench PSU (£350 worth) so I'm sure that bit was fine.

I'd rather pay £10 more for something that works. To be honest a lot of no brand Chinese Ali Express dev kit I've bought is more reliable so I'm not sure what they're doing wrong.
Yes. The reason why laptops and all-in-ones get the panels with high resolutions is because the manufacturer gets to build the source, sink, and transport layer, and isn't stuck with what a standards committee can make for them. (Details here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8549629)

But hey, at least the standards committees are working on new forms of DRM so the NSA can't tap your video cable and see your screen. Or something.
Justification or excuse? For a desktop machine it is not that much of an issue. And since Mac Minis are already using mobile CPUs, they were already very low-power compared to other desktop machines.

There is always an excuse. In reality, they have changed their model to 'upgrades only at purchase'. Unfortunately, their machines are so good that we all accept this...
Fabrice Bellard's "tiny cc"[0] is a great sweet spot between "not even a portable assembler" like CC500 and C4, and GCC/LLVM:

It is a full-blown C compiler with enough extensions to compile the Linux kernel (and boot to it directly - look at the "tccboot" project). But it's also small enough and simple enough to retarget in a few days work (make that a few month if you want optimizations ... but you don't seem to).

The character Dr. Strangelove is itself worth an entire movie, he was supposed to be the combination of the following:

- Edward Teller (Father of Hydrogen Bomb "the super")

- John von Neumann (legendary mathematician and computer scientist)

- Werner von Braun (designer of V2, and later on Saturn V5 for NASA)

the 1900's to 1960's was an amazing time to be in a STEM field, hell being a Physicist was so freaking cool. Now everything's about Finance and Wall Street...
Interesting. Are these people so confident that they are willing to risk they lives searching for mines or did they somehow done it from a safe distance?
It really wouldn't. Your fridge's power usage eclipses any computer you might have, short of a hardcore overclocked rig running Folding 24/7. To say nothing of electric stoves, A/C and heating, or industrial electricity usage. Hell, at the 20-30 W levels of lighter-powered computers, a couple of light bulbs might make a bigger difference.

Clojure doesn't count? And the good parts of Perl, Ruby & Javascript are essentially Lisp without the homoiconicity.
They should provide tools that run in both Windows and plain MS-DOS / FreeDOS (hey, sometimes it's useful). One way I know how to do this is to compile with http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ and link in the CWSDPMI DOS extender from http://homer.rice.edu/~sandmann/cwsdpmi/index.html

The DOS extender will not run if it detects DPMI provided by Windows, so the binaries work in both environments.

Answer HN: HTML and CSS Redesign
Sorry, that was a bit terse – adrianhoward already provided the link to Joan Quigley's bio. I'm not particularly upset by it – Reagan certainly received far worse advice from Very Serious People – but but the idea that “every major move and decision the Reagans made … was cleared in advance with a woman in San Francisco who drew up horoscopes to make certain that the planets were in a favorable alignment” seems like the kind of thing people would reject in a movie as too implausible.
My wife is on her 3rd Moto G due to charging problems so there are at least two anecdotes there.

As said elsewhere (see entire thread) it was most likely a duff one.

My problem is with the community and the support and the quality, none of which are suitable for the target market.
Marked down for that? Why?
Remember that if you are posting on HN, you are an anomaly and live surrounded by similar anomalies so you may not realize it.

Most non-technical Mac users that I know have MacBooks (having worked in a linguistics faculty, I knew many). The only Mac Mini users that I know are actually techies.

Edit: of course, in the end it does not really matter. The Mac Mini is probably a tiny slice of the total number of Macs sold. For other models people (including me) already accept paying much extra for upgrades.

Could you share how you've come to see things differently than through the lens of reason, since then?

What triggered that change?

At the risk of sounding critical, I want to know how individuals consciously depart from their reason-driven worldviews to something driven by another agent. Emotion perhaps?

Please elaborate.
A kid's parents can be instructed to not attend public school in Ogaki, by a school principal, in front of a room full of witnesses, not one willing to contradict him, on the basis of his race.

I have very little desire to litigate American attitudes on race. As a positive statement: there is no city in the United States where a public school principal can literally say "I do not allow $GROUP in my school." at a PTA meeting and expect to be employed 48 hours later.
Apple isn't one monolithic creature. I'm assuming that some are trying to kill it (by making it underpowered with low sales) because they can't kill it politically (it's one of Steve's babies.)

It's kinda like the old iPod. They kept making it _long_ after nobody bought one, because it was the iconic turn-around device for Apple. Cook admitted they had to stop making it because they couldn't find parts anymore.
