That 5% figure is arbitrary though. If the threat is a real one, and the intention is carry out a terrorist attack, you could assume that it will happen because the people behind it mean business. If it is bluff, then there is no risk at all.

Certainly I agree risks like this are not worth worrying about, life is full of risks.

>>The fact that the network itself also contains all its content

That is simply not true.
Website in i2p is just same as your normal www site, just that you get different route every dozen requests, therefore you can not reliably determine site location, not because "network itself contains all its content".

If it truly was North Korea or people they paid do you really think those they targeted would be safe anywhere?

It's gotta be similar to the difference between esoteric art in a large museum, and esoteric art in a small gallery the size of a closet. Sometimes you get so far out in your studies that you can't even realize the people around you don't have the faintest clue of even how to get to your headspace, let alone understand it. There's esoteric languages that look different, but still follow some standardization of language, then there is esoteric that questions every standard convention through the realization of the absurd.

Those programmers were arguably 10x or 100x programmers, not run-of-the-mill. They made a choice to work on new technology, solving a hard problem. And then put in the effort, probably with little handholding, and managing the uncertainty.

These are traits not found in the average or even median programmer.
What is missing is a good and easy way of doing the check:

- Without need checking after every operation

- Without impeding easy use of overflow (and/or allowing for saturation) when it's needed (in a lot of places)

So, I see a narrow use for it, IF you validated your inputs AND overflow is unexpected (or, it is expected and you do something different, but it's still on narrow cases)
Try MUMPS:

Many modern languages sort of have 'DO COME FROM' in the form of exceptions. Having to execute PLEASE regularly (but not too often) is not that different from a buggy version of Oracle PL/SQL I had to use once, where single-line comments sometimes made the next line be ignored as well. Or a research language called Emerald for which the implementation needed extra comments or dummy statements to make the compiler not crash + the garbage collector was buggy so you needed to create and manipulate dummy objects Just So to make the garbage collector throw /them/ away instead of the ones you actually cared about.

I'd say the only unique aspects of Intercal are the stupid numbers and the delightfully twisted way they added threads to it (by having more than one DO COME FROM statement with the same label).
I personally doubt the credibility of the threats; I've also yet to be come across evidence that the same people who made the recent physical threats are responsible for cracking. Anyhow, according to the article:

"officials with the F.B.I. and the Department of Homeland Security, according to a person briefed on the sessions, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment.

That person said the officials spoke in terms far less assuring than those used publicly by Homeland Security, which had played down the threat."

This would seem to indicate that federal security agencie were influential in the decision by the cinema theatres.
The headline is incorrect. The video is not about INTERCAL, it's about BS.
Relevant to this subject is an excellent trio of blog posts on the "politics" of the call centre: http://yorksranter.wordpress.com/2012/01/21/the-politics-of-...

It describes how the traditional call centre is riddled with process anti-patterns which demoralize both the employees and the customers. The reasons for this are based in the deskilling and disempowering of customer service employees, allegedly in the name of cost reduction.

This leads to exactly the problems described in this comment right here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8766637
Yeah, the "Traditional Korean" bullshit totally destroys the article's credibility. What's the alternative? Simplified Korean? Somebody's confusing Korean with Chinese here.

The author also suggests that North Korean material is likely to contain Chinese; this is also bullshit. As part of its ultra-nationalistic ideology, North Korea has been trying for decades to purge their language of loan words, including Chinese. On the other hand, (Traditional) Chinese letters are routinely found in many South Korean publications even nowadays.

Besides, no modern operating system even supports the ko_KP locale, so anyone in Pyongyang who wants to use foreign-made programs will have to resort to ko_KR. For all we know, the hacker could have been a South Korean teenager with Japanese citizenship living in Hong Kong or whatever.

Chrome doesn't do full revocation checking by default. Instead they have a non-standard implementation called CRLset which handles specific revocations. To me, revocations is a fundamental part of PKI, so the fact that they don't do it makes me question how secure https really is with Chrome anyway.

Freenet has the concept of containers which contain multiple files (essentially just tar files with extended index and optional redirection to external files). These still get spread through the network in chunks, but with 100% redundancy, and when the site loads, all the content is there.

There’s a development version of freesitemgr which allows you to harness that: https://github.com/freenet/lib-pyFreenet/tree/files-in-manif...

Can someone explain how the author classified the topics? As I understood the article (and to be honest, I didn't understand it very well) he:

1. Takes a corpus of 'words often used in topic X'

2. Compares that corpus to the script, divided into 12 sections

3. Gives a value to how much the corpus corresponds to the script

A couple of things which interested me:

* Finding original films - would it be possible to come up with a list of films which have been manually classified as 'romantic' but which don't follow the standard 'romance' plot arc?

* Unusual direction or editing - Are there films for which the dialogue can't be used to classify what's going on? Perhaps analysing the soundtrack (loudness, bpm, minor vs major keys) and the video (brightness, colouring, movement) and comparing it to the dialogue would show something interesting.

* Compare the 'deviation from the norm' to reviews, awards, box office takings, and press coverage.

Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea how to do something like that. Just wondering if it's been done before.

Warning: spoilers ahead

Homeland was pretty subversive in its first season, I mean, up until Brody decided not to blow himself and the rest of the high-ranking officials up in that bunker it was a pretty bleak affair: a decorated US marine, now a politician, who decides to kill the VP of the United States and a couple of other generals, you don't usually get that in block-busters. Afterwards, and especially starting with season 2, it did indeed become a propaganda thingie.

Otherwise you're completely spot on. As a film junkie it really bothers me that our generation doesn't have its "Apocalypse Now", "The Deer Hunter" or "Rambo I - First Blood" (whose director has just been interviewed in the latest Cahiers du Cinema issue), it's all white-washed, depressing propaganda. There are a few exceptions here and there (De Palma's "Redacted", Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker", partially), but otherwise we're treated not as adults, but as kids who need to be told "nice" stories about what's really happening around us.

I don't know, I run dwm on my 11" wide(ish) screen laptop, and it works for me, certainly better than a more traditional WM: generally, the less screen estate you have, the more it pays to make efficient use of it.

If I'm coding in Clojure, I have a vim window on the left, and a repl and a plain terminal (mostly for leiningen and git commands) stacked on the right. I could set this up in a traditional WM: but [a] it would take (a bit) more initial effort and [b] more importantly, with dwm I can temporarily bring in extra windows (e.g. a web browser) and then get rid of them again without having to restore my layout from scratch.

I agree with you about focus follow mouse (though it can be more trouble than it's worth if you have an overly sensitive trackpad).
He uses slides very well.

It's common knowledge that reading off your slides is generally bad and makes for terrible presentation, but he does better than just avoiding that. The slides are always something he can look at at the end of a point, like a 'turn' of sorts. Sometimes it's to demonstrate what he's talking about; sometimes it's comic effect to show what he was referring but not by name before; sometimes it's a segue to a new heading that fills the beat after the previous one.

Not that 'giving good presentations' is so rare a skill that it needs to be called out, but, he's so consistently good about slide usage that I think his style is worth explicitly noting and copying.

Ask HN: If we could redesign the Internet from scratch, what should it be?
I ask the question purely out of interest, not specifically about tweeking HTTP and TCP/IP but also about the underlying hardware, much of which is decades old. If we could completely divorce the Internet from history, what would be the best design. Would it take much more inspiration from OSI, or look radically different? Perhaps the question doesn't make sense: if we radically changed the Internet it would no longer be the Internet, much as the Internet is not simply an improved version of the phone network.

The paper has some good insights into how statecharts can obscure or confuse solutions, but some of the issues are avoided by experience or practice of using statecharts. Combining orthogonal states and history, for example, is rightly criticised in the paper and is the equivalent of a 'code smell' for me personally, largely because it becomes difficult to reason about the behaviour of the system being modelled. The two main benefits of state charts are the clustering notation and separation of concerns by linking statecharts with directed events (rather than using orthogonality). History is sometimes useful in specific circumstances, though those often arise from how you structured the statechart rather than a system design issue.

In short I'd say to try not using deep history or orthogonality and see how you get on. Use them minimally and rarely in combination. I've found statecharts to be fantastic at clarifying my understanding of systems and their design, but like any tool, they take practice.

Itanium style not-a-thing constructs might be interesting for that.

Not-a-thing is basically a tagging scheme where the contents of registers are extended with a bit indicating whether the value is valid or not. Arithmetic operations on a NaT produce a NaT: branches or stores which consume a NaT raise an error. Given arithmetic instructions that generate NaT on overflow, the wrong result will be prevented from affecting the state of the program without explicit tests or jumps.

I'm not sure what the implementation costs would be on the hardware side, though.

The concern that they'd state would be local hackers working for or with those elsewhere for what-ever reason (payment, disenfranchisement with local policies, ...) or just doing it "for the lols".

The potential knee-jerk hardening of laws in response to this sort of thing is not specific to this case: it could equally happen in response to any other very public exploit. The same for the more insidious "we've been waiting for an excuse to..." hardening of laws, for a more paranoid view.

Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox to Buy TrueX Digital Ad Company
No horse in this race, but I assume parent is actually implying a third possibility, where the email exchange is real but cherry-picked by parties friendly to Spiegel.

Right. Or, it's "real" insofar as it actually happened. His stated interest in building a quality business and being careful with "OPM" is obviously not genuine, but the conversation actually happened and, at the time, he would not have known that the Sony leak would happen in the future. He didn't write that particular email with the intention of it being leaked.

After the leak, Spiegel needed to lend credibility to the idea that he's not some careless frat boy and he (or, just as likely, his PR team) decided to focus attention on a particular email. Since the email itself was poorly crafted, an influential third party was paid off (bought social proof) to say that it was "very impressive" for his age.
>Pipedrive could have grown to 10,000 paying customers without any marketing

and the next paragraph

>The main thing that got Pipedrive to first 100, 1000 and 10000 customers was having a great product.

Building a great product IS marketing. It's the most important part of marketing. It's at the beginning of any marketing plan.

Marketing is the science of bringing a product to market, and later on, navigating the markets the company operates in. Advertising, sales, PR are only communication tools which fall in only 1P (promotion) out of the 5Ps.

The article continues to list marketing activities. In fact, it only lists marketing activities, while insisting they don't do any marketing.

Finding your LTCV is marketing (Price). Localizing is marketing (Place). Content, SEO, email are also marketing (Promotion). Finding platforms before others is also makreting.

All in all, I would advise the author of this article to read the wikipedia page (lol) about marketing before making attempts to speak on the subject.
