It's ironic that on a nearby block there was once a Radio Shack next door to Blockbuster. Both of them could not overcome the competition brought upon by the Internet.

Ai's can now easily beat the smartest chess players on earth which have dedicated their lives to mastering the game. They can drive cars. They can automatically translate foreign languages. They have vision processing capabilities that are starting to rival humans. They run assembly lines, they diagnose diseases, and they can analyze and query sets of data far larger than human memory to coherently answer natural language questions. We don't know what will be possible in the future, the ai tech of today is already pretty powerful and will only get more so. Top ai researchers who understand the field most clearly think caution is warranted. Thats reason enough..
Gingerbread Man is translated as "El Hombre de Jengibre", which was previously unknown to Spanish speaking children.

What was relocalized was the Muffin Man nursery rhyme (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Muffin_Man), which was substituted by Pinpon's ronda song:

Pinpon is a puppet
very handsome and made out of cardboard.
He washes his little face
with soap and water.
He untangles his hair
with an ivory comb.
And in spite of the hair pulling
he cries not nor even winces.
That could be the best move out of a bunch of bad choices. But I could just order any of the specialty items you listed online.
"The fact is, there’s nothing infallible about “direct experience” either. Indeed, experience is never direct. It is a sort of virtual reality, created by our brains using sketchy and flawed sensory clues, given substance only by fallible expectations, explanations, and interpretations. Those can easily be more mistaken than the testimony of the passing hobo. If you doubt this, look at the work of psychologists Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, and verify by direct experience the fallibility of your own direct experience. Furthermore, the idea that your reminiscences are infallible is also heresy by the very doctrine that you are faithful to."

This is skepticism raised to the nth degree -- brain-in-a-vat-ism. I'm not even sure I read the article now.
My first Clojure app fetched large gobs of interconnected data from a graph database (Neo4j). That data needed to be sliced into many different shapes. Clojure and its many standard functions made the task surprisingly easy and fun.
This is awesome. I've played around with React's server-side rendering [1] and was really impressed once I'd hooked it all up. To see React hook up the event handlers and render nothing at all was really satisfying.

I haven't had a chance to use react-router, but it's great to hear that they've put in the work to make server-side rendering a reality. I only hear positive things. Kudos.

The police are naturally going to have a skewed view of society (modulo racial and class issues) because they spend their days dealing in bad situations. If your job is dealing with "bad people" doing "bad things" you're probably going see the world a little differently than folks who maybe never have to deal with the same situations.
Bomb! Thanks for the feedback, etrinh. We'll work on incorporating that. You definitely hit some of our UI problems right on the button.
You could also prevent editing the main title, once you pick it, it's set in stone (or limit the edits to a small Levenshtein ball). That way you can do as many corrections to the document as you wish, but it's much harder to cheat the system.
I'm not using Node in the web app itself, just for dependency management and development. Once the app is built, it's just angular and regular js.

Give it a try, I think that will clear up any confusion. All you need is MongoDB and the BitCannon binary.

(ie You only need Go/Node/bower/grunt if you wish to compile it yourself)

Funny, this was the exact status update I used when i shared this on Facebook earlier. I appreciate that our reactions are "Good" rather than "Think of the jobs!", because unfortunatly that has been the tone in the last 30 years and its really very disapointing that we destroy the planet to avoid a less than idea economy.
Thomas - I'm still looking for the walk-through of how you see the attacks by a government against DNSSEC. I don't see them!

And to your repeated refrain both in your post and here on HN that "DNSSEC has virtually no real-world deployment", I would again refer you to various DNSSEC statistics sites that do indeed show a good amount of deployment happening in different parts of the world.

Here's a list of those sites: http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/dnssec/statistics/

I know you wish it were NOT happening, but the reality is that DNSSEC deployment is going on... and many of us see it as a way to provide another solid layer of security on the Internet.

Yes, it's always great to be exploring other alternatives, too. My personal interest is in "securing the DNS"... and right now DNSSEC is to me the best tool we have going today. If we can develop other tools over time that are even better, that will be outstanding. Meanwhile, I want to see what we have today get better deployed.

Your reasoning for the steep prices is only going to convince yourself unfortunately. The price is so high, I'm not even going to try it, because I know I'll never buy in anyway.

What's of course valid for TLS too. Do you suggest people use HTTPS?
I explained poorly, verbs in second person are gender agnostic, adjectives are gender-dependent.

The "restriced area" is funny, standard version is "Nieuprawnionym wstęp wzbroniony" ~ "For non-priviledged-ones entry is forbidden", it's plural noun made from adjective, in nominative it would be different for male and mixed/female groups (uprawnieni/uprawnione), but fortunately in plural in dative case it's "uprawnionym" for both genders so it works out OK. I guess it's common and maybe that's why the dative case works that way?

In most dialogs in software adjectives are the problem, especially "are you sure". Usually software that don't know your gender for other reasons just use male version.

In non-software world in formal documents it's often written like "he/she" in every gender-dependent place, often with passive voice to cut the amount of "/".
This got apparently fixed, in my "ams3" instance I've had to issues getting web console to work (needed to "tunefs -n enable /")
I love the whole idea of static site generators. Jekyll, Middleman, etc. They're hard things to "hand-off" to a client. I'd love to see more work going into an interface for content managers (make it easy for them to update basic settings, add content, etc.). Prose, and Siteleaf get at this a bit.
The New CISPA Bill Is Literally Exactly the Same as the Last One
Yes it is over-engineered. Heck, even WordPress is engineered. Blogs are essentially static pages with the comments as a moving part (i.e. dynamic). Most blogs can happily leave on a static web folder if bound to something like Disqus or whatever you decide to use.
Yes, sorry. I should have better explained. In this case, C4 is capable of building with nearly zero libraries, afaik, only requiring OS libs, and OpenGL. In this case, I think we can expect the libraries to be in perfect working condition.
The fallacy of the clickbait charge against Buzzfeed is that they don't use clicks as a metric, they focus on shares. Buzzfeed learned from the once hot Upworthy (who originated the "You Won't Believe What Happened Next" style headline) that if a visitor feels like they were tricked into clicking on a link to your site then they aren't going to share it. You get a lot more traffic by delivering on the promises made by your headlines.
But Big-O does transmit useful information that is not captured by 'constant', 'linear' and 'exponential'.

Quadratic time doesn't fall into your categorization, nor does O(n \log n) time.

Technical jargon exists for a reason, and that reason is that it is precise and specific. It conveys exactly what it means, no more and no less. Dumbing down terminology so that everyone can understand it is a poor tradeoff if said terminology becomes vague and thereby loses meaning.

I'm wondering about workstations where everyone is accessing shared directories and gigabytes of data, so lots of IOPS and throughput to replace Netapp and not suffer 50MB/s. Basically my thought is that with combinations of SSDs, PCIe SSDs and things like FreeNAS (or some BSD+ZFS configuration) this shouldn't be an extravagant luxury.
There's a phrase at one of Chicago's hackerspaces (and probably at many others): Just Fucking Do It.

Naysayers will naysay, but a thing that's done is more powerful than "Oh, well, you can't do that because"; JFDI.

It also extends to telling people they don't need permission. If it won't be costly (in time or money) for other people to undo, you don't need to ask -- JFDI.

I think that would be a nice way to import torrents without relying on a site that could be taken down. Unfortunately, I don't know a ton about DHT and the BitTorrent protocols. I'm still trying to figure out how to scrape a UDP tracker in go to get seed / leech counts. I like this idea though!
Great job! Also love the write up you gave and that you shared the code. I tried doing something similar a while back but never got around to finishing it, so I'll definitely dig through this source for some inspiration. I'm very curious how you'll develop the integration between webpack and gulp (or whatever you plan on using) as I tried doing something similar with Grunt but eventually gave up. Having only one build step would be awesome.
I imagine parents react to not the world as it is, but as it was when they were growing up. The current world is really heavily shaped by a generation of people that: 1) had a very comfortable upbringing (i.e. are not used to loss); 2) spent most of their formative years under the threat of nuclear holocaust, skyrocketing crime, etc. My friends and I are entering our parenting years (my wife and I are 30), and we are already noticing how much more laid back we are than our parents growing up.

How to save Radio Shack from certain death
I'm with you. I can write emails and do "busy work" in those situations, but the actual hard work, building new things, engineering, etc. I need to be as cut off as possible. I've even just started working nights again to get on with such work because the noise and sights of anyone being around has been throwing me off.
You don't have to be afraid of bad things happening to your kids from "bad people" to decide they shouldn't walk by themselves. You might decide that it isn't worth the hassle of "good people" like the cops or child protective services threatening to take away your kids.

So even if you think your children are reasonably safe from people doing bad things to them; the risk of the government causing you all kinds of strife makes you reconsider letting them have an unsupervised walk.

Hotline Miami 2 banned – critics label it “most violent” video game ever
The problem with this argument is that aside from work space and meeting space, there aren't many other uses to which most places are going to allocate the surplus space. And furthermore, I've seen non-load-bearing partition walls in existing buildings go up just about as fast as I've seen cube farm put in.
You definitely could- But that of course holds true for best buy as well. The draw is that walking into a Radio Shack could be 'cool' again. See the latest gear that just came out. If they really embraced it, it would have the same feeling as walking into a high end audio shop. RS needs to become a master of something in order to be trusted. Right now, they are focusing entirely on being a jack of all trades and failing at that

You are implying Google Glass was a failed product but I would argue that discovering those specific applications is precisely what Google sought to achieve by mass releasing the product. I doubt they ever expected Google Glass in its current form to succeed as a consumer product although I bet they'd been happy with that outcome too.

As far as I know Radioshack doesn't own any of their stores so they're just leasing the retail space. Amazon would be better off opening new retail fronts.
Of course. Please read my post in context, I was responding to someone who suggesting the prototype should do that within its own right.
It was mentioned by someone here or on Reddit previously that there is a lot of financial bets going on on whether RadioShack survives or not. In many cases in the past those who are betting that they survive have given RadioShack a lifeline in terms of loans and financing in order for them to survive so that the investors win their bets. I'm sure this is still going on still and it is no longer a question of fundamentals for RadioShack and rather a high stakes power game in the financial markets.
Yup. The guys with their names on the door still write briefs for a living. So to with doctors. Head of Surgery at a hospital still cuts people open for a living.

> DuoCode automatically generates source mappings
While this is a cool idea for a store, does it really fit with the assets that Radio Shack has? Here's what I see they've got to work with:

- lots of retail stores in crappy locations. There's no way I'll hear the difference between a Grado and a Sony when the juicer at Orange Julius is echoing down the hallway. It would be perfect for 3d printers, though.

- Cheap, non-committed workers. I'm not sure it would be worth training everyone there how to use a 3D printer if they only stay there a year. Also, not everyone there would be able to sell hifi; definitely not better than the blue-shirts can.

- A good supply chain of custom-branded products. This used to be their bread-and-butter, but no one wants Enercell batteries anymore.

- A brand name that has been diluted. I know Brookstone is great for craptastic stuff, but it would take a lot to re-educate people on the new RS.

I think the point is, there current business model of catering to low end clientele is NOT working. They need to reinvent themselves and this is what I feel has the most legs of keeping them alive. The margin for high end goods is much more palatable than selling power strips.

The long and the short of it is, RS needs to radically change everything about themselves and go for broke. Trying to do slow changes while holding onto a legacy business will just leave them in a situation like compusa.

Why all do we get so many articles with missleading text arguing agains DNSSEC recently?

> DNSSEC is Unnecessary
That's opinion.

> DNSSEC is a Government-Controlled PKI
And TLS is an all-governments-controlled PKI, where any of them can subvert it when they want.

> DNSSEC is Cryptographically Weak
Nope, it isn't. But yes, there are people using it with weak crypto... Exactly like TLS.

> DNSSEC is Expensive To Adopt
A bunch of overblow technical issues that won't make any difference on practice. If the domain is being attacked, the lookup failed, if there's a configuration problem, the lookup failed.

> DNSSEC is Expensive To Deploy
Oh, that's correct. TLS needs an entire hour to deploy for the first time, DNSSEC needs some 3 or 4.

> DNSSEC is Incomplete
Yep, it's goal is to do the same as the TLS PKI. There's DANE for the rest of it.

> DNSSEC is Unsafe
Yes, also because it's DANE's job to do that.

> DNSSEC is Architecturally Unsound
I can't make any sense out of that.
So I'm curious, why didn't you wrote your blog in Clojure(Script)? (I'm new to the scene)

EDIT: Ok, I see Javascript is your thing ;), do you think doing it in JS has strong advantages over Clojure(Script)?
There's one Fry's in a city. There used to be dozens of Radio Shacks. It's a very different model. Radio Shack would have had to close 9 out of 10 stores, and turned the remaining one into some sort of superstore.

I'm not saying that's not what should have happened (though the big box stores are now beginning to see the writing on the wall, as much of their business goes online), or that it wouldn't have extended the life of the Radio Shack brand another five, ten, maybe more, years. But, it would have also been the end of the Radio Shack of my childhood (then again, that Radio Shack died years ago anyway).
Looking to start a Startup in 2015?
Hey!

If you're looking to start a web company in the new year, now is the time. I've just opened my web consulting agency up to the public after taking on private contracts through referrals for the last 3 years.

I have a team of 10+ developers that are fluent in Rails, Ruby, Node.JS, AngularJS, Backbone.JS etc...

We've built applications that are used by thousands of people from all around the world, our success rate is 90%. I'd be happy to share our portfolio with you via email or skype. If you're interested in building out an web application feel free to shoot me an email at: pblogsltd@gmail.com.

We work on a first come first serve basis, but we have the capacity to take on 3-4 large projects at a time.

Look forward to meeting you!

Cheers,
Anthony
I sort of agree, however most teams also build on the previous year's team. So the first team has a much larger task, but it does get incrementally cheaper and easier. And if there are some initial specs that people can follow, then it's even easier/cheaper.
Minified/optimized, but not gzipped. Size will depend on what you do with it. But play with it, see how it behaves, it's fun anyway.
The risk is that it could become an expensive immersive 3d catalog for stuff you could buy online for a fraction of their prices. It would need some sort of exclusivity deal with several high end brands to be viable.

It is quite helpful. My approach would be to create a project that gradually adds one by one of the tools.

For example first get the gems installed and with that you could just add to the lane the increment build number.

Then install homebrew and xctool and add that tool to the lane.

In that way, you can start using fastlane gradually and not install all the dependencies at first. It is the approach I would take, but I know there could be many others for such a complex tool.
The first time someone pointed this shortcut out to me I thought they were pulling my leg. I never expected GitHub to have shortcuts, somehow.

Glad to help and again, nice work. :)
It's interesting cause it allows you to step back and see previous machine states. Not many VM's can do this. Probably only works cause there is no OS which would clutter the set of relevant states.
To be fair, Silver Spring, MD, probably isn't safer than it was. It was a pretty sleepy place 20-30 years ago, and in recent years has attracted a lot of urbanization as well as a significant amount of low-income immigration.
