I didn't ask to be a jerk or anything, I'm just asking the same question that others will.

Castelli and others produce shorts made for professional cyclists, who do long rides too.

You know where I see more room for improvement? Winter cycling gear. There's a huge difference between good stuff and shitty stuff. Example: Milano Sanremo a few years ago when it was snowing, and lots of riders were riding with non-team issue Castelli Gabba jerseys because they're one of the best things going for cold weather racing.

I guess that's not a problem for you in Singapore, but here in Italy, winters can get cold and wet.

I don't know... Italian cycling clothing manufacturers are the best in the world (which is why you source from them), and I'm just not seeing a compelling reason to go with someone else.

You might look at Rapha - they've managed to carve out a niche despite not being from a traditional cycling nation.

Yeah, I can imagine the hackers releasing a torrent of the interview on the date it was supposed to be premiered before Sony got on their knees. With a simple message accompanying the movie: "lulz, trolled u".
"... Going there to get groceries does not strike me as such a big deal because it's only about 20-30 minutes' walk from any residential neighborhood in West Oakland ..."

30 minutes walk is a deal breaker and from the article:

"... Oakland doesn’t have the tax money it needs. Retail is broken here, ..."

The broken part of settler cities (I'm from Melbourne) is ppl living without walking access to amenities. As a kid I lived within 5min of shops as I do now. Have access to buses, train, tram? If you don't you have to rely on private transport & that is bad.
So it's _not even a call center_. This is very impressive - as a piece of PR.
> I'm "quite young" (26), although I don't know what you'd class as "actual work" (do Web development and PhD research count?).

Certainly. It's always hard to judge age on the 'net, but looking at the relevant discussions on reddit or linux forums, you'll find an astonishingly uniform spread of applications, and if you find any code that's not the configuration of the window manager, it'll be some kind of programming 101 material. This, along with the "just installed Linux, this is my new awesome desktop" makes me a bit biased towards assuming a large quantity of teenagers -- also more likely to generally proactively show their neat desktops.

This doesn't mean that every tiling wm user is that way (I certainly am not), just like pinterest isn't a good indicator about the prevalence of refurbished palettes in American bedrooms...

I would say that you probably have more in common with corporate windows users who have their apps running fullscreen all the time, too and that way don't ever changed their backgroudn from Napa valley, than with the "unix ricers" who regularly apply patches to their minimal wms that leave large borders around their windows, so that their background is still evident.

Haven't looked at Freenet in many years. Maybe it's time to take it for a spin again. It's an extremely interesting project that tries to implement secure and anonymous communications with completely different objectives than Tor and other P2P networks like I2P.

The fact that the network itself also contains all its content in an anonymous, distributed way it a very interesting approach since no one knows what encrypted fragment they hold and there are no central servers.

I remember that since each resource in a website could be scattered across many many nodes, any webpage that loaded external resources would take a very long time to load, and many of the resources would have disappeared after a while, especially when considering that a lot of people would not stay connected to the network continuously or allocate much storage for their node.

One solution would be to load all resources as part of a single page site that would contain HTML, CSS and base64 encoding of the images. It would take a long time to get all the blocks for a large page/site, but nothing would be lost.

Enabling Javascript is probably a bad idea when browsing Freenet, but using it would open a lot more possibilities (like using the newfangled BGP image[] format to significantly reduce the payload).

>China is world's worst jailer of the press

Yep, if you don't control the journalists completely, you've got to jail them to cencor them.

If, on the other hand, they'll print anything the government tells them as if it was The Truth, and would hardly question much, besides some partisan BS, why bother?

Especially if the few facts that sometimes escape this self-sencorship are burried in a cloud of illogical opinions, half-informed BS and propaganda, so the population doesn't even know what to think about those either...
One possibility I've heard aired on Twitter, which I find somewhat disturbing (it's telling of my current distrust of state actors that I even consider this highly paranoid scenario a possibility), is that this will be used as a sort of digital Pearl Harbour to justify hardening laws against hackers, security researchers, etc. Of course, the two aren't really related, and in fact security researchers and hackers increase the security of the US against such things, but that hasn't stopped the lawmakers before.
I've stopped watching shows like Homeland, Person of Interest, 24 (only saw like 3 seasons), etc a while ago. The level of US propaganda in them made them unbearable to watch.
Welton's law of online discussions:

At some point, somewhere, someone will posit that "it's all the US' fault!".

This doesn't necessarily mean it's not true, but in certain cases, like the fall of the Roman empire, the evidence is probably kind of weak, unless your alien friends have let you in on the existence of a CIA time machine.

You guys can downvote all you want, but the law is true. Get a big enough discussion on any political topic, and someone will explain how the US is the root cause of whatever problem.

Loading CSS from the same domain speeds things up for a couple of reasons:

1. No DNS look up for the second host
2. Many browsers speculatively open a second TCP connection to the original host in anticipation that another request will be made so the TCP negotiation overhead for the second request moves forward
3. CSS is on the critical path for rendering so getting it more quickly improves rendering time
>However, the United States is not nearly as bad to journalists.

It's not that most journalists are that hard core investigative and questioning deeper truths, though.

Or that the public has the education and capacity to pay any attention to those who do.

I've always shirked away from a separate "cookie-less domain" in favor of cookie-less sub-domains (think costs and SSL). This does require you to think about www/no-www (cookie-less sub-domains require you to limit the cookies to the www sub-domain, as no-www means that *.domain inherit all cookies). I wonder if this is still relevant in the HTTP2/SPDY world?

If you assume that reading (and clearing) the Q bit is infrequent, you can do something much cheaper. Because the bit is sticky, the order in which you set it does not matter. And when you need to read (or to clear) the Q bit, you just block the instruction that wants to read/clear until the OoO core is empty.
I don't think anyone believes North Korea lacks the capability to execute on information freely available from the internet, or to launch Russian missiles for that matter.

What they do lack, apparently, is the ability to run a country that's not an oppressive shit hole.

Like China if you weaken the state security apparatus you go to jail.
On a side note, living in Portugal, it was odd to learn that call center jobs are the de-facto go-to job for foreigners and the jobless. Overwhelmingly so.

Absolutely. And everyone's hired through a temp jobs company, often on a monthly contract (so you can be "let go" for any reason without any compensation).
I'd rephrase that as "the books is almost always better than the movie". Most rules have exception and the use of "always" in a claim usually makes it too easy to falsify -- particularly in highly subjective fields such as appreciation of film / literature. Another counter-example would be Trainspotting: My 25-year old self found Danny Boyle's film to be much more coherent, interesting and enjoyable than Iriving Welsh's book. (FWIW, I've upvoted your comment as I don't think it deserves downvotes).
According to the military community, NK/China relations are strained at the moment. In that case I would be surprised if they worked together on such a high-profile hack.

"North Korea is even angrier, and very shaken that a retired Chinese general said publically that China would not come to the aid of the current North Korean government if the government collapses or starts a war. China often makes official announcements via public 'comments' by retired senior government or military officials. This makes it easier to, if need be, back off from the new policy. China has not backed off this one. China is telling North Korea to do what China wants or else.

China wants work on North Korean nuclear weapons stopped. China apparently promised to be useful in the UN if North Korea resumed the six nation talks over North Korean nuclear weapons."

I've been working in a call center (tech support for a pay TV company) for two years - and it wasn't hell to work there. It became later, I heard, months and years after I had left (no causal connection). The reason is plain simple: The amount of money that customer relations should cost.

When I was working in said call center, it was policy that customers should have a fulfilling experience if at all possible. We were allowed to make and schedule call-backs and these were actually done. We were small case-managers, honest ones, as our possibilities were quite limited - as in most situations with first-level support. There was no "maximum time" rules. No high-score lists for the number of requests handled per hour.

Policy changed later. A "2 minute" rule was established. Feedback talks by team leaders were set up where it wasn't strictly followed. High-score like lists were put up. Tech support was encouraged to sell stuff, like bigger contracts - and the "top ten" scorers on the contract-offer list got rewarded.

>Except for shelling SK every once in a while, testing nukes, threatening SK with total devastation

They are two countries that used to be one and had a civil war. What do you expect? Flowers and cakes?

How about countries that non only test, but have actually used nukes in wars (2 of them, on civilians), as well as countries that regularly invade other countries, including countries that have nothing to do with them (e.g. Korea itself, Vietnam, etc)...

>This doesn't necessarily mean it's not true, but in certain cases, like the fall of the Roman empire, the evidence is probably kind of weak, unless your alien friends have let you in on the existence of a CIA time machine.

The evidence for covert operations is by definition weak.

The historical precedent though of other acts (that have been verified or been unclassified) in the past 60 years, speaks volumes...

Let's put it this way: countries with global reach, and interests in controlling the whole world, especially areas with natural resources, trade ways and such, are not that many. Even less have worldwide operations, tons of equipment and expertise, the most well oiled armies/agencies in the world, and a historical penchant for messing outside their borders (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Mosaddegh )and crude propaganda (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird ). And even fewer believe in things like "Manifest Destiny" or that they are the model country for the world (hardly any European country believes such crap, besides maybe Germany, and that didn't turn out that well for them).

I don't think NK is one of them. It might qualify for some stuff (dellusion, crude propaganda, but then again noone outside their borders believes it), but it hardly qualifies for others...

Yes, AMD should have added it to x64. It isn't exactly new either. The Alpha's integer instructions had a bit in the instruction word that indicated if an overflow should cause a trap or not. IMHO that is the ideal solution.

Sone works around the lack of JavaScript by being a plugin rather than a site. This requires you to trust the plugin code of course.

An interesting project would be to come up with a sandboxed safe scripting system that allowed dynamic sites. This could remove some of the need for plugins. I'm not sure how possible it would be to do this without also enabling tracking or information leakage.

Ask HN: Why Do Tech Employers Hide Their Locations from Us?
I am building a list of computer employers at http://www.warplife.com/jobs/computer/ It is categorized by location - country, state or province, county (if any) and city.

I visit a lot of tech company websites. Just about the first thing I do is click their "Contact" link, so I'll know where to put them in my geographical heirarchy.

Not every company has a contact link. However, they may have a contact _page_, if I guess its URL, like "example.com/contact.html", "example.com/contact_us.aspx" or what have you.

Sometimes I can't find a way to contact them at all.

Only some of the companies provide their street address. Many don't provide an email address, only a contact form.

Just now I visited Aha!'s website; their contact page says "We are located in California". You know, I love California, I have many happy memories of Death Valley, Venice Beach, Santa Cruz and Banner Mountain, where I lived when I was but five years old.

WHERE IN CALIFORNIA?

I work in VFX, and its a little bitter sweet to see Sony entertainment on its knees.

First, various people like sony have been forcing VFX houses to go through draconian security changes to stop this kind of threat. (supposedly because one of us leaked expendables 3, despite none of us having the complete movie or sound)

These rules include three separate zones, of which only one has access to the internet. All USB storage is disabled. All internet access must go through a terminal server. (all our phonehome services for disks now don't work)

All data must go through a purgatory like intermediate stage, for the data ops guys to move out to the "outside" zone, for upload to studios.

We then have monitors to look at the data flow, to see if wierd stuff is happening.

So if they'd followed the MPAA's own advice none of this would have happened, unless of course it was an inside job. Which in my mind there is little doubt.

> But look at the feature photo in that story, which constitutes most of the "tip" from the tweet.

I'm late so I doubt you'll see this, but I don't understand what you're saying here. The Al Arabiya feature photo clearly states it's an AFP file photo. There are no references to a tweet, and certainly no direct claims that it's an actual photo of the executed man, or that it's their "source" for claims that ISIS crucified someone. Maybe they are giving too strong of false implications about the photo, but I don't follow your jump to "made up out of thin air" just because a file photo was used for illustration. I could agree the story sounds shaky, but not based on the evidence you gave here.
Still no stem cells via easy 'STAP' path
It isn't Sony who benefits from pulling the movie. It is the theaters. If this movie was going to be a dud, Sony would make some money back, greater than zero revenue. All their costs are sunk.

But the theaters would lose money relative to how much they might make screening a more popular movie. So the theater chains can use this as an excuse to cancel showing the release, which is probably a violation of some contract or agreement, but they can get away with it in this special circumstance.
How should the errors be handled in your opinion? I'm asking because I'm also a language designer, and this is one of my sticking points...
The sticky overflow bit is useful when you do signal processing with integers. To detect bugs it would be better to have a real exception that indicates which instruction caused the overflow. But to do that you would have to change/extend the instruction set which is rather likely. ARM and AMD missed the change to add this when they migrated to 64bit ISAs.
I started to figure out if I could use statecharts for systems design but then read this critical piece and became less enthusiastic mbreen.com/breenStatecharts.pdf

Could someone with practical experience of them comment of their usability?
Unsafe code should not have memory safety errors when passed valid input. The point is that while integer overflow in Rust might cause incorrect program behaviour, it's not going to cause undefined behaviour (and therefore e.g. executing user input) the way it does in C.
