If there is one device which is not impacted then it is not a problem with all devices. The problem is therefore isolated to a subset of all devices. Perhaps that subset is the majority of all N4s, perhaps it is a small fraction. We don't have enough data to say one way or another.
Yes, this exactly. The CCA grew out of a widespread moral panic about comic book content, and its effects on youth. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seduction_of_the_Innocent. Basically, after this, the once thriving comics industry in the USA was reduced to just superheroes as all other genres like romance, horror, detectives (there's a reason Batman was published in detective comics), science fiction, were considered too "dangerous." It's quite unfortunate.

There's other reasons of course as well - notably the rise of the collectors market, but the USA today is still overwhelmingly dominated by superheroes in the comics market.

Sony is open to sell its mobile division
It's not on by default and it's labeled "Experimental" on my Nexus 5 running stock 5.0.1.
I'm going to cross the streams a bit here and bring up a major concern going forward. Right now, "Project Ara" is Google's project to create a modular phone that allows hot-swappable components in a totally customizable pocket device. That is, you could have 3 cameras and no wifi in your device if that's how you choose to put it together.

How in the hell do we expect the Android OS to actually make this anything but a bug-laden shit show? They're clearly having a hard enough time making Android work on their own narrow line of devices. The very idea of using this same OS for a completely open-ended device seems laughable, at best.
I don't get how an opinion like this:

"...to make it clear, I think Upstart actually has its benefits. The source code is very, very nice, and it’s very simple, but I think it’s too simple. It doesn’t have this engine that can figure out what the computer is supposed to be doing."

is callous and myopic?
And unlike hard- and software, such a broken system can last a very long time. There's an old French joke about "polytehcnician" (i.e graduate from Polytechnique, a top-level post graduate institution). What's the difference between a train and a polytechinician? When the train gets off the tracks it stops.
Men generally have better results with 8 or 6 hours windows. It's usually recommended that women have a 10 or 8 hour window, though I don't know the specific reasons.

There are a few diets that recommend an "all you can eat" 4 hour window, but recommend only going that route if you don't have the discipline for a 8 or 6 hour window.

Also note that studies have shown that it takes more than 24 hours of fasting for people who are diabetic or prediabetic to have similar results to those who show no signs of diabetes fasting for only 12-16 hours.
The overseas bit of this seems more about hipster posing; having a slightly more exotic story to tell. I don't think the cost arguments for relocating to a developing country make any sense. You can live in third tier cities in America or Europe very cheaply. It's only major cities that are expensive. I think in a lot of folks' heads saying "I live by a beach in Thailand" is for some weird reason more cool than saying "I live by a beach in a cheap town in Florida."
In my experience with Neo4J a few years ago, i naively used it as my primary DB. The latency (not suprising given its JVM based) was painful and often there are classic relational aspects that we tried to capture in the graph.

This is ENTIRELY MY FAULT - not Neo4j, they never market it as that - just as MongoDb never markets itself as a true replace for relational problems.

But that said there is plenty to not like about Neo4j if you don't use it right - so make sure you use it for what you need and not what you don't need
Bigger market with Android devices? Very few Android phones will get even close to what any of the iPhone models sold. And docks for iphones are a lot more interesting, because there is an established standard for controlling iOS devices externally, which works with music and many many iOS apps. Not to mention, that for both 30-pin and Lightning connectors the device playing the music is the iphone, not the dock. With Micro USB the only way to do anything would be to access the filesystem and play all the music files found. But that's incredibly difficult, because of different standards, root Android directory being polluted with files for apps, and there is no way to control apps on the phone. Android phones are horrible for standards - mine doesn't even work with a regular remote(next/back + mic) on my headphones.
I too have never heard of Natron. Really excited to dig into it!
Where does an employee mark it small? Changes to issue state end up as comments and I don't see one.

It looks much more like issues in that tracker start as Priority-small and no one upgraded it.

You have received terrible tax advice. Self-employment income is sourced where you performed the work which earned it, not where the money changed hands. Ask me if you want voluminous citations on this.
Bizarrely, I've found that most people agree this is obviously the better solution. And I have never seen it in practice (manufacturing/industry - not the shiney robotic kind, either). People often claim to want to fix the process, but it gets political fast, and because processes/systems are hard to engineer, blaming someone is just faster, easier, and cheaper.

Which is awful.
Yes, it's a contract. It's a contract that moves the world in a direction the EFF thinks is bad. You may disagree with that, but they (obviously) don't.

What do you expect them to do? Ignore what they consider a serious problem just because many people choose to accept it? Might as well tell them to ignore the DMCA because it was (and, AFAICT, still is) overwhelmingly popular in Washington.
Ask HN: Which encrypted mail service and why?
I've been checking out the wide variety of services which have popped up over the last year. Which do you use and why? Ones I've looked into.
protonmail.ch
scramble.io
tutanota.de
scryptmail.com
peerio.com (more of a messaging/file sharing service)
Ultimately, I'd like to stop using the standard free services of google, yahoo, dropbox, etc.
Maybe mega.co.nz for file sharing.
Peace.
The chrome is very annoying. Constant crash and New Tab takes a few seconds. But the most annoying is tabs are treated like apps.

When I'm on tube and read Effective Go I need to scroll through all apps and tabs to go back to it.

Yes. FEI is the IRS's bone to US citizens residing outside the US (in most countries, you only pay taxes if you're resident, citizen or not, the US is one of the few where you're taxed even when residing in an other country)
I find myself wondering why the init is supposed to figure out what the computer is to be doing. That kind of "automagical" behavior is what drove me bonkers when trying to use Windows for more than a games console...
I refer simply to getting angry at the whole company for action of a subset of employees. That's so common today and makes me think I don't ever want to own or work for a large, multi-project company.

I do agree it's by no means a small priority ticket and not one that should be closed without a fix.
Although there is a solution mentioned in https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82949#c44... which actually worked for me.
So, since I'm in the dark beyond what the links say, what was the timeline for this disclosure?

The github repo readme says "A few days ago, Google has introduced a new version of ReCaptcha" which seems to me like it was a 0-day disclosure. If that is the case why would it be hypocritical of Google to ask for the repo to come down so they have some time to fix the issue?
The 10 healthtech companies that raised the most capital in 2014
2 years??? Imo that sounds pretty successful to me. But seriously, the issues you've highlighed are likely to come down to the individual who decided to spend all money without leaving enough for emergencies.

Getting to do this for 6 months would be amazing.

Imo. Rewards for this far, far outweigh everything else.
I think that's unlikely based on the design. Beagle 2 was in a flattened cylinder, a bit like a hat box, that was sealed shut to protect it on entry. After becoming stationary, the 'lid' would flip open and the round solar petals would unfurl.

If the lid opened allowing one of the petals to unfurl and break off during landing I wouldn't expect the rest of the petals to unfurl perfectly.
I think they're handling this poorly and that for a company as big and rich as google, "we only have so many people fixing Android 5 bugs." is a pretty weak excuse.

That said, I bet google knows better than we do how many active Nexus 4 users are still out there, my suspicions is - not many.

Here's my guess - they prioritize bugs not just on severity but also based on number of users impacted, and who those users are (in this case, people who are still using a phone that was discontinued over a year ago, have manually updated their phones and then reported a bug in the AOSP tracker. a demographic I suspect is going to be very hard to satisfy no matter what). I'm guessing they hope that people will take this problem to the carrier they bought it from (if they got it from someone besides google), contact google play store customer support (who have always been helpful in my experience), downgrade, or just move on and buy a more recent phone.
Google doesn't even have "customer support"!
Ahh, the ol' "works for me". Just because it works for your wife doesn't deem it as a non-problem, as seen by the hundreds of comments on a single bug report in the span of just a couple days.
PlayBox: Xbox One/PS4 Combo Laptop
The difference originates from who is paying for the college. In the United States, the consumer has a direct choice on the college selection process and the payment process. These choices force the provider, college, to identify things to make it a appealing to the consumer; e.g. nice dorms, safe facilities, new books, etc.

In Germany and France, the college is paid for directly by the government. The most effort is made to reduce costs where possible, including delaying the purchase of new books, dorm room upgrades / accomodations, and infrastructure.

There needs to be a middle ground between these two methods, the college approach in Europe produces people who were developed from middle school for college, those who were not college material were moved into technical schools or apprenticeships; but it lacks ability to change course in later years easily. The American system of college takes everyone who can tie their shoes if they can afford it, some blossom within a college environment and prove their guidance counselors wrong.

Been living and working in HK for almost 10 years - currently all visa-ed up and legal, but haven't necessarily always been...

There are persistent stories of people who've been living here for years doing regular visa runs, but oddly they mostly seem to be stories, not direct experiences. There are also stories of people who got 'caught', in that the immigration officials decided they'd done too many runs and couldn't explain how they were living in HK without working, and were given 2 weeks to clear up and move out. It's a risk...

With a UK passport you'd get 180 days of visa-free stay per entry, with most other 'developed-world' passports you'd get 90 days. The actual rules on what you can do during that stay are quite strict - attending meetings, negotiating/signing contracts, etc. is allowed, but most other work isn't - to the extent that technically you're not even allowed to do voluntary work. That said, nobody is going to bother you if you're here for a few months and happen to be working for a remote client/employer at home or in a coffee shop. It's the visa runs which are the danger, since that's when they can pick you up. May not be a nice thing to say, but being white does help quite a lot.

It's easier to be here as a resident, legally. You get (almost-)free access to government healthcare, and things like banking are much easier, plus of course you don't have that looking-over-your-shoulder feeling.

One standard piece of advice, which definitely doesn't fit everyone but might be worth considering - assuming you and the GF are a heterosexual couple, a civil marriage is relatively simple in HK, and assuming she is working and/or a resident in her own right, that would get you a visa as a dependent. HK doesn't recognise non-heterosexual relationships in any useful way...

An alternative might be Taiwan, maybe not for you, but for others seeking 'Asia' - I do know a Brit who's been living there for years doing visa runs while writing code for people mostly in the UK, and it seems to work for him and his drunken bum lifestyle :)
They would definitely have to tweak and re-arrange android to work in a more modular system, where software can be built by the manufacturer/on the fly with pre-built components you can put in the software (depending on what module you have in the phone)
>Well...the phone itself is over two years old now, which means it's about 18 months out of support

That is a horrid mentality being permitted in the phone industry. My "2013" Moto G has a 1.2GHz quad core with a 300+ dpi screen. It's completely unacceptable to declare that device out of support as a consumer technology.
Paint.net never seems to get much attention. It has a simple interface and a decent featureset for freeware. Windows only.
Elon should partner with China. They have 10,000 miles of high-speed rail and a maglev $1.2b 19 mile maglev. The distance between Beijing and Shanghai is 800 miles, which would be perfect for the Hyperloop.

Building the first one in China then the second in the US would be faster than building the first one in the US.
My comment was really directed at Marvel/DC comics. My mom grew up reading Tintin (in Bangladesh!) but when an American talks about "comicbooks" that's not really what they're thinking of. I think those sorts of comics are so different you're talking about a different industry almost.
My daughter and both have the Nexus 4 and I don't recall ever having this problem. Suppose its a carrier issue? We're on TMobile.

It depends on what you mean by clients. The most popular Firefox plugin to validate DNSSEC does in fact validate responses properly, and would have caught the Turkish MITM.
Agreed. JIRA is managed this way as well and it does lead to a lot of anger around 12 year old issues that really should be implemented. However, at least we can see what is going on.
"The BBC declined to give any details about its use of RIPA"

Nothing like transparency. The rest of the article strongly suggests this is to do with the detector vans. This is partially confirmed by a FOI query: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/prosecutions_from_tel...

It sounds like everyone in authority believes that the use of detector vans is regulated by RIPA. I think this is due to section 2:

(2)For the purposes of this Act, but subject to the following provisions of this section, a person intercepts a communication in the course of its transmission by means of a telecommunication system if, and only if, he—

(a)so modifies or interferes with the system, or its operation,

(b)so monitors transmissions made by means of the system, or

(c)so monitors transmissions made by wireless telegraphy to or from apparatus comprised in the system,

as to make some or all of the contents of the communication available, while being transmitted, to a person other than the sender or intended recipient of the communication.

The detector vans are rumored to work by picking up the IF of the TV's heterodyne receiver. I guess this counts as "interception" of a signal, even though it's a signal that was publicly broadcast in the first place.

This could all be cleared up by a clear statement from someone about what surveillance is taking place, but of course everyone loves secrecy and there's no honesty in public debate.
I'm a practicioner of intermittent fasting, and I've found that an 8 hour window is ideal for eating my meals, with a 16 hour fast. I can eat like shit on occasion and it doesn't do a thing to my physique. It's been pretty sustainable; I've been doing it for a good 4 years now. You might give it a try!

I found out about all of this from http://leangains.com. The guy has some really good reads and he always provides the science/citations from medical journals.
I think maybe "terrorism" is just the new term for crime of all levels now. Because crime makes people afraid right? Perhaps I'm terrified that if too many of those rotten tax dodgers skip out on thier tv tax there might not be another season of Doctor Who. Scary stuff.

That's interesting. I didn't realize that only some 5.x devices came with it enabled by default. I can only speculate as to why some devices come with it turned on and some don't, but I've definitely supported some Nexus 5 users on 5.x who had it turned on by default - they didn't even have developer options enabled prior to contacting me.
Why comics? There are plenty of good books (even with pictures) for the girls of that age. Comics were never supposed to be educational or have any non-entertainment value and primary tarted at hormones soaked male teens. Take her to the books store instead. You don't complain that nobody does piano recital during pop concerts -- either go there or not. Actually, I find annoying the trend of complaining about anything that does not suite somebody's needs or attitudes.
I'm of two minds. Sure, it would be great if scientists were able to ignore the personality and tone of the person making an observation or advancing a theory. But it would also be even better if everyone (including people with big, lifesaving ideas) could exercise a little self-restraint and show some respect for the emotions of others, if only because that's the way you get other human beings to listen to you (but also, hopefully, just because it's the right thing to do).
Huh? If you bought it from Google, just ask the play store customer support. What other support would they mean by "contact customer support"?

The price still adds up. When I had tens of dollars a week of paper route money, it was easy to get a pile of 75 cent comics every month.

I've worked with alongside cold-call sales people - not as a sales person myself.

Largely, my observation of them wasn't that they're particularly thick skinned, nor were they particularly desensitized to rejection. The thing that most of them had in common was that they weren't emotionally bound to the outcome. They didn't care if the person said yes or no - except for the endorphin kick they got when they saw their pay cheque get bigger. For most of them, it was a game they played against each other - in the same way you might enjoy a board game and you strive to win, but the real fun is the camaraderie of the players.

A rejection got a shoulder shrug and a "whatever, next" or a few choice curse words and the finger when the sales person wasted more time than necessary for a sale that never came before quickly moving on to the next call - the previous call forgotten as quickly as the next, unless the conversation was particularly humorous or worth sharing with their compatriots.

Those with no scruples learned to manipulate people really well and got the sales by whatever means necessary. Those that cared got sales by listening to the customer and understanding the customer's needs. Mostly though, almost without exception, those with the most sales were those that got through the highest volume phone calls in a day. The success rate could be skewed to have a higher ratio of sales to calls, but at the end of the day, that took emotional effort and didn't really yield any extra benefit to the sales person - of course, this potentially had a huge negative affect on the reputation of the company. I see the same thing with all the utility companies. Their sales teams are often the first point of contact for a customer. But the sales guys don't care about that, all they care about are the numbers. The rest is for customer service to figure out.

The lesson I learned from watching the sales guys in action is that all things considered equal, the greater the volume of calls, the greater your success. Don't be emotionally involved in the outcome before it's necessary to do so - at the end of the day, you're just asking her to come for coffee with you, you're not asking her to marry you. The more people you ask to go for coffee, the more chance you'll find someone that's got nothing better to do than go for coffee with you - even if you do think they're out of your league (that's another concept I don't believe in, but that's for another day and another post).
You must either be a bona-fide resident for an uninterrupted period covering the whole tax year[0] or have been out of the US for at least 330 full days in the year[1] although in the latter case your presence in a foreign country must also be legal according to US law.

Let us pause for a second an think what could possibly happen with anti-terrorism laws like this in not-so-advanced democracies where there is little protection of the average citizen from the abuse of state power.

Let us also think about how the leading democracies export the "democratic software" (laws) and they get copied/cited in not-so-advanced democracies in making their own laws. It is very easy for a barely-democratic state to cite a western democracy's law as a precedence.

Let us then think about how many people live under democratic laws (and under strong rule of law) and compare that to the number of people without that.

Depressing.

I fear that these badly written anti-terrorism laws are like software flaws that will flow from system to system and harm many more people than we can see right now.
It's currently a criminal offense to watch broadcast TV in your home without one.

There is legislation moving through parliament to make this a civil offense as magistrate courts are swamped with these cases.
