Yeap.. Just light hearted humor..

It's funny that light hearted humor depicting Muslims looks strangely close to the way Europe used to depict Jews: The maniac facial expression and ugly face, the crazy hair and beard, the huge nose).

If people are so shocked that people are so shocked by a cartoon, why aren't the people who are shocked shocked when people are shocked by a cartoon making fun of Jews.

If anyone drew such a thing, it would be "obvious" that you "must" be shocked. If not, you're anti-Jew and a Nazi.

The cartoonist would lose his career, would be called antisemite (which is a stupid word, since Arabs are semites, too)... The cartoonist would have to appologize and say how stupid he feels, and then take it upon himself to prove he's not by overcompensating (the usual "I have Jewish friends" which, by the way, I have too).

Just search on Google, most of what you'll find will be newspapers appologizing for running a caricature that I don't even think Jews deemed "antisemite". You know the saying: "Plus royaliste que le Roi". More royalist than the King.

Where's the light-hearted fun and freedom of expression, now? I thought they were just cartoons, no?

And about France's freedom.. It is funny that the religious symbols debate about ostentatory religious symbols doesn't include Jews.

And the usual disclaimer: I'm not criticizing Jews, I'm criticizing a double standard. Anyone thinks we live in a fair world where racism/sexism/etc doesn't exist?

You don't get to organize a minute of silence in the name of freedom of expression, and then fire and prosecute people who don't stand.

You don't get to talk about freedom of expression when anyone humoring anyone is fine, until they're humoring Jews.. Isn't it just light hearted laughter? What changes?

You don't get to say every human life counts the same when not long ago, more than 150 people died in a Peshawar school. More than 130 where children. Did it stop the world as did Charlie Hebdo? Did heads of states gather in unison and march for the right of a child to live?

I live in a country that was torn apart by terrorism. I survived many bombs, many gunfights... It amuses me when the U.S. and Europe think they're being targeted by Terrorism: You've seen nothing compared, and you don't get it. Islamist terrorists kill mostly Muslims.

And that country was colonized by France, for a 132 years. My father was a political prisoner. My grand-parents were tortured and murdered. We became independant just 53 years ago. I mean, 1962 wasn't that long ago, right? It wasn't like a barbaric age or something... And yet..

Really shitty behavior. Or is this supposed to work better on mobile?
Storytella[0] is running on AWS. Currently I'm trying to keep costs down so everything is running on micro instances which are free for 12 months for new sign ups. I have set up:

EC2 micro instance running a django application
EC2 micro instance running CouchDB
RDS micro instance running MySQL
ElastiCache micro instance running Redis
S3 storage for user images
1 Lambda function for resizing images

That set up is handling roughly 1200 sessions per month at the moment and costs me roughly $15 per month, which is mainly for the second EC2 instance. If I was paying for everything it would be more like:

EC2 instances x2: $15
RDS: $25
ElastiCache: $12

The S3 and Lambda services are a bit more tricky to work it and I'll worry about it when I need to. For everything else it's roughly 750 hours per month x hourly cost.

If you've got any follow up questions let me know.

Yup - the documents they sent out to reviewers stated that the 970s had 64 ROPs [1]. This was also further pushed down the line to the OEMs building the cards, who used it in their own advertising (see the chart from ASUS in [2]).

NVIDIA advertised the cards as having 64 ROPs - the fact that the first bunch of dupes parroted it to a wider audience is irrelevant.

The advertising and spec sheets talk about 224G of memory bandwidth. Retailers posted the listed specs provided by Nvidia as part of their advertising. You can go on Amazon/Ebay and see it listed everywhere. It may be that the retailer gets the brunt of the flack, you can guarantee that the retailers will demand accurate specifications before accepting more of Nvidias product if they are held liable.
For me, it just keeps taking me back to the same article.
This looks interesting but when I scrolled down I saw the message "Built for Chrome" and I'm left with the impression that this software is for Chrome only. Is that correct? I use Firefox so won't be able to use it.

If the notice is just about the website, I'm left wondering why they would include an advertisement for a browser from an advertising company on the site?

Users that are okay with ads and vendor lock-in already have plenty of bigger and more established options, so I'm still trying to figure out how this service might appeal to me - maybe not at all?
I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole with how they've handled the original lockitron.

Personally, I think this varies very heavily depending on the language that you're writing in. I'm not fluent in EFIGS or Japanese without dictionaries, but the pronouns I use in English, French, and Japanese are quite different.

Personally, I suggest having professional translators deal with your documentation if you are having trouble expressing yourself clearly in multiple languages. But then again, I also think you should have professionals dealing with anything having to do with copyright assignment and translation, period.

YMMV I suppose, but on my end the usual IANALTANSTAAFL&EIIWTINFLA&cetera disclamers for things that I post publicly.
Show HN: Puzzlings – Collaborative Jigsaw Puzzle
Well, I don't know what you mean by Medieval. It depends where. Some places where evolved that time.
There's a bit more to HIPAA than signing a BAA with your infrastructure vendor. I agree that you currently aren't storing PHI, so you're in the clear for now. I imagine that in the future your business would require you to. There's a bunch of things like auditing, logging, vulnerability scanning, disaster recovery, training and having policies in place when you do need to fully account for protecting PHI.

We open-sourced our HIPAA policies where I work at Catalyze recently. Check 'em out and good luck! http://catalyzeio.github.io/policies/
To be blunt, I don't think this perspective is accurate or well thought out, and it comes in the form of an emotional attack which is not likely to be well received as an argument.

Inevitably when a sector grows, you're bound to have a diversity of approaches and types of people involved, and in most cases that diversity is a profoundly good thing. It means that not only are there people who are in the work for the zen-like essence ('love of technology' as you put it), but also those who can apply that work to other fields and areas of knowledge.

And capitalism (which appears to be the true target of attack here) has its flaws and abstracts away the love in favor of a general approach to value—but it also allows resources to be condensed and put toward big problems that would not otherwise be possible. Sometimes it ends up just extracting wealth from a triviality, but often it is a complex mix of value for a complex mix of people, and sometimes something truly profound and major comes of it.

I suggest that there's something else going on here; some personal frustration or observation that is likely true in the right context, but I think it needs development and focus to be a more universal critique.
That's fair. As it's our launch day, there are a few things like this that we'll get in place as quickly as we can.

For what it's worth until we can do that, here's a quick rundown: all data is transmitted over https. While we use Elastic Load Balancers we don't terminate SSL at the load balancer so data makes to our web servers before being decrypted. Any audio recordings are stored encrypted in S3, and our RDS instances are also encrypted. Everything runs in a Virtual Private Cloud. Each service (ELB, EC2 instances, RDS, S3) runs in its own security group with IAM user roles that can be removed and reissued if needed.

We'll try to get this information up on the site fairly soon.
That's a very interesting idea. It's possible to tell libxml2 to use a custom allocator, but unfortunately it will use that allocator for all objects, not just nodes, and thus would probably be affected by hash table randomization. The architecture dependence is also a problem.

My current solution is a patch that uses a hash table to map the memory address of a node to a counter that increments in a deterministic order. It's a massive hack and I hate it. I'm currently trying to assess what its performance impact is.

The proper solution would be for libxml2 to maintain a counter and assign every node a deterministic ID, but that would require extending the _xmlNode struct, which would break ABI compatibility because the struct is not opaque.
Porting Node.js crypto to the browser, part 3: RSA and DSA
I suppose you think every video game made using the Unreal Engine is basically the same game too, right? I can understand the disappointment that they're not creating a new JS or rendering engine, especially from a community like HN that is so technical, but it's absurd to state that this thing is not a new browser simply because it uses these existing technologies. How much end-user functionality really comes from a JS or rendering engine when it's adhering to the same standards that every other competing engine is?
>> Note that high-reputation users can see deleted questions and answers on SO, and petition for them to be undeleted.

While overall, SO's a great place to get questions answered, the problem, in my mind, is that there might be a disconnect between the high-reputation users and newbies who asked and the newbies come to SO to find answers to the questions that do flagged down or deleted.

While I don't think that any of the high rep users are newbie haters, I do think it can be challenging for them to see things from a newbie's point of view.
That's nonsense, English isn't sexist by default. It's only sexist if you decide to make it so, e.g. by intentionally misinterpreting it.
It's also impossible for the key holder to prove to his assailants that he has provided the correct keys, so there is little incentive to comply in some situations, since you will likely be killed / tortured, either way.

Easy then! Let's do photo sharing apps in 2014.

- p: at seed stage (90% failure?)
- e: average exit. Should I make the average including instagram, flikr, ... or is 2015 dead for photo sharing apps? What about all the apps with a medium (but undisclosed) exit? How does the calculation change if it's 2009?
- t: 2 years because ... instagram. Or will it never happen again?

I think the key is that those values are 100% unknown if you're joining an actual startup. _e_ is unknown, because you're at the beginning of a trend, _t_ is unknown too, because it's too early to know and could be 5 or 10 in your industry.

Could you give me the value of p,e,t for the fourth engineer at Instagram in 2010? (for my area, in data for solar lead generation I don't know of any public exit, let alone the average _t_).
Varoufakis is a great economist and his placement as the Finance Minister is a smart move from the new government. At this point I would like to suggest reading To Future And Back by I. Pitsouli[1]. Somewhere in it, there is suggested (or prophecized if you wish) that in years to come scientists will replace politicians in governments. Well, that has already started happening and is right IMO because science is closely related to philoshopy which in turn by definition deals with problems related to reality, existence, values, etc. ie. the everyday problems most politicians seem to ignore nowadays.

ps. Varoufakis definitely needs to revisit Bitcoin though[2]

According to that exact article they bought when it was $266. It's completely baseless that they bought earlier, and by current prices they're still making a loss ($256 USD).

Trigger LEDs with Raspberry Pi and Streamed Data
> ok so your point is that when technology creates long term downwards trends in the value of labor, anything that decreases the value of labor can be thought of as an externality?

Almost certainly, it is an externality in the strict economic sense, in that the "thing that decreases the value of labor" is almost certainly the product of investment decisions made by actors that are not the same set of people who are impacted by the reduction in the value of labor.

> Redistribution can counteract this effect.

Right, but in practice rarely does not, because what redistribution occurs is controlled by who has power over government, and power over government is disproportionately in the hands of those who have gained the most benefit from the economy, so those harmed by externalities and who would be most inclined, on a self-interested level, to seek redistribution are also the least likely to see their wishes reflected in government policy.

> If productivity increases but it also increases inequality, then there is some level of redistribution that will correct the inequality while making everyone better off (in the sense that the number of people earning more than X increases for all X). Not exactly a theorem, but a rough consequence of general equilibrium theory.

Its not really a "rough consequence of general equilibrium theory", whereas general equilibrium theory holds that without externalities (and with rational choice) a pareto-efficient result will be achieved, your conclusion requires the assumption (which general equilibrium theory does not support) that with externalities, a pareto-efficient result will not be reached, and further that the actual result will be such that there will exist an alternative result reachable by redistribution which features less inequality by whatever the relevant measure of inequality is, and is closer to being pareto-efficient.

But general equilibrium theory does not guarantee pareto-inefficiency with externalities, and if a pareto-efficient result is attained prior to redistribution, no redistribution can "make everyone better off" (since the definition of pareto-efficiency is that no one can gain without someone losing.)
Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.
Hi all, I'm the founder of Hatchlings and this is a preview of a new realtime feature of our game, Puzzlings, that we're releasing soon.

We made a (loosely; this was surprisingly hard to theme) Hacker-themed puzzle for you guys to try out. I thought it would be fun for us to do together!

Not sure how long it will take to complete or how well it will scale. Probably depends on whether HN skews towards collaborative or destructive ;)

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback! I'd be happy to respond.

One known issue: when zoomed out in Firefox, things don't quite align correctly. We're working on it but in the meantime please either zoom to 100% or try a Webkit-based browser.

Personally, I prefer indefinite articles for third person when possible, but you should talk to folks fluent in your target languages for clarification.

For example, when we're talking in French, I don't mind folks (especially students and non-native speakers like myself) confusing on/il/elle. Il faut imaginer and On faut imaginer are only very subtly different and not enough to bother this French speaker.

That said, if you're posting to someplace that deals with regular recurrences of Eternal September, you're better off being cautious. A lot of the 25-35 year old "digital native" crowd has been seriously burned by WELL leaks and the like.
What MagicLeap’s Patents Tell Us About the Augmented Future
In 200 years, other things could also happen.

- US/Federal Reserve Dollars could be obsoleted in favor of a different currency. Your account might automatically be converted to a non-interest bearing account in a different unit of account.

- Your account could be flagged as inactive and plundered by the banking institution or the governing authority.

- The currency could be inflated much faster than your fixed rate of return. Your $3693.56 could buy one ramen noodle--not one packet of noodles, one noodle.

- The banking institution could cease to exist. If there is a successor institution for your account at all, you might not know what it is.

But the point is that if you just take your $10 bill into the future with you, you would only have one worthless 200-year-old $10 note, of interest only to curators and collectors. You wouldn't have the not-even-$10-worth of era-appropriate currency.

Apple’s New Security Concessions to Beijing
as long as the kernel code isn't modified to allow accessing the memory of other processes

This is kind of what the kernel is for, though: if you can't modify the memory of other processes you can't handle IO for them. Hiding data in plaintext from the OS is basically impossible. Nearest you can get is heavy obfuscation (Skype) or communication to a secure hardware bastion (TPMs for DRM or otherwise, ARM TrustZone).

What might be more interesting and useful is secure communication between a remote website and a non-PC device. Kind of like PIN pads, but more user friendly.
Thanks Mark, we've actually read your HIPAA policies. And yes, you're correct, there's a lot more to HIPAA compliance than how you store your data. We will continue to move down the path of treating everything as being PHI even though it isn't currently.

What rules do we have in place?

AFAIK there are no widely accepted international conventions that would forbid, say, USA goverment to install malware (intentionally or unintentionally) on a german user's computer; if you can name as specific one then that would make this discussion much more interesting. International law is not particularly restrictive to the rights of governments to attack each other or their citizens if they desire so; the citizens don't have much recourse in international courts if a foreign government accidentally killed them, much less damaged their computer.
"Greek did take part of a fund destined to boost their economy, like Western european countries with the US's Marshall Plan."

Unless I'm mistaken, you are very mistaken, and confusing things.

"Greek debt" has nothing to do with the EU Cohesion fund (which is open to all member states which meet the criteria) or Euro Bonds (which , to this date, do not exist), but with a large number of national bonds that have been bought by the ECB and IMF specifically.

So yes, basically Greece took Euro money and now is planning not to repay it.

I agree though that saying that every Greek is responsible for this situation, or that the conditions for repayment are fair, are other matters entirely.

You need to fire your "usability consultant." Your color scheme is absolutely horrible for anyone who is older or with less than perfect vision. It is very difficult to read for me.

Any time your as yourself "should I display my -main content-* in white text" the answer should be no. Doublely so if you your background is light pastel green.

Light grey on white is another combo that is extremely hard to read. So is white on very light picture of a beach.

Animated backgrounds(?) (The background is not animated in my mobile browser) are not only are incredibly distracting, but also actually, ironically, cause anxiety for me. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I know different people have different preferences, but at LEAST give your color scheme some halfway sane contrast. And fix the rendering errors on mobile. Both issues, besides affecting usability, make you look amateurish. In my opinion.

*not saying you should never use white text, ever. Just not in paragraph form.
