>But help me understand what the FBI did wrong, or Goldman for that matter.

What law Goldman reported violation of? What law FBI investigated violation of? While one can report some alleged violation of some law, the FBI is aware of laws, especially the laws the FBI is assigned to enforce. Bringing charges under obviously un-applicable here NSPA and EEA instead of whatever (if any) law may have been applicable here is a gross negligence, to say the least, on behalf of FBI. As a result, they wasted a lot of valuable (taxpayer) resources and ultimately let the criminal (if there was real crime committed) go free.

>The legal questions that were resolved in Aleynikov's favor were subtle ones.

are you kidding? How a subtle legal question(s) can be summarized in one paragraph on an Internet forum?

It's looking very likely that 2015 is going to be a #linkedout year. More and more stuff like this is happening, and LinkedIn can't keep up.

They're an incredible company, but they're a 12 year old product at this stage.

Take a look at my version of the alternative, trying to get ahead of them not replace them:

As someone who played with BeOS in my younger days; I'm pretty curious about this project, does this use any of BeOS's code or is this a reimplementation of BeOS ideas with it's own codebase?
I'm building a Spritz-like application but I don't live in the US so the patent doesn't apply. Is there anything else I should be worried about?
We are in the weird situation where even most web application developers run their dev environment on beefier machines than the VMs they are hosting it on.
The nightlies are built with optimizations. And trust me, nobody's going to be distributing Rust binaries that weren't built with optimizations because Rust code built without optimizations has performance on par with Ruby rather than C++ (LLVM's optimization passes do a hell of a good job).
So yes as you said is a mixed tool between CRM and Social discovery tool, using Social discovery tool you will get new leads, people who talking about your products in twitter and manage them in CRM. so i really appreciate your feedback after testing to meziane@iogrow.com, thank you
Home automation is not something you can install yourself, unless you are a full stack programmer, and with full stack I mean also PCB's and micro-controllers.

Surprisingly there's a lot of cheap consumer stuff out there, witch can easily be modified to do what you want. Some of them are "unhackable" though.

The trick is to make everything automated. And use a high level language like JS to make it smart. Yes, I write my home automation in JavaScript :P
Just sat on my PC and patted my Chrome window with my cursor for all the bad things it heard on this thread!!
That's temporary. Once e10s has been stabilized with one content process, they'll look into scaling that up.

Isn't it more likely that they just sent the emails themselves but used his email as the "Reply To" address? A lot of software systems (SalesForce, Hubspot, etc.) do that too.
https://www.haiku-os.org/about/faq#top_6

"Is Haiku based on BeOS then?

Haiku reimplements both the BeOS technologies as well as the end user experience, but it is far from being based on BeOS from a code base perspective. The only BeOS code that has made it into Haiku are Tracker and the Deskbar (the file manager and the equivalent of the start menu/taskbar, respectively). These were open sourced by Be Inc. back in 2001, later forked under the OpenTracker project, and eventually merged into the Haiku code base. The rest is either homebuilt code or derivatives of existing open source software."
Awesome idea! Better ask these guys: http://www.iana.org/
I just tested against Firefox Nightly on the amazon pages and it doesn't appear to be even loading the Flash renderer.

We feature detect flash via the navigator.plugins object and from that thread it doesn't look like shumway is listed there.

Ask HN: What's the oldest server on the Internet?
One of our webservers is pretty ancient. I configured it in 1993 running CERN/3.0, and it's still running in production use 22 years later. Admittedly, it's not on the original Sun IPC hardware anymore; sometime in the late 1990s it was moved to a Sparcstation 4, and there it remains. It stopped being our primary webserver about ten years back, but still handles all the staff webpages in production use:

bash-3.2$ telnet www0.cs.ucl.ac.uk 80

...

GET /staff/M.Handley/ HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.0 200 Document follows

MIME-Version: 1.0

Server: CERN/3.0

Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2015 21:19:43 GMT

...

So, 22 year old webserver software running on 19 year old hardware. Not bad. But something tells me there must be even older servers out there somewhere? Perhaps some ancient ftp server or DNS server? So, what is the oldest continuously used server on the Internet (still running the original software or hardware - even if patched)?

I use that macro frequently but warily. The fact that it only works with static arrays and (AFAIK) the compiler won't warn you if you accidentally use it on dynamic arrays/pointers/array parameters is a big risk.

Come to think of it, I'm afraid I'm leaving a time bomb for the next inexperienced maintainer who doesn't know the limitations.
Conversation my arse (brands wanting to 'converse' with you)
LinkedIn had a dark pattern, which they've made slightly less dark recently, of asking you to "log in" by typing in your email address and then your email address password. Of course, you are already logged in to LinkedIn at that point.

The current version shows up when you click "Add Connections" but it used to be much more in-your-face.

That's re-assuring to hear. Thanks!
Ditto. FF and µBlock are a solid combo now. I typically have 10 to 20 tabs open without issue. I uninstalled Chrome completely, I just don't need it.
How about filing a bug for that Sync problem?
The Long Now folks have been warning of this for at least twenty years. Their definition of a "Dark Age" is one for which we have no extant original records. Which describes the state of digital data precisely. Their concern with this is how to encode the data alongside the clock for distant descendants to read without access to the originating technology. From their exposition I learned to backup complete computers, not just workfiles., not even just the hard drives. Still not enough, even for decades let alone millennia.
Why, its certainly reasonably accurate, but that doesn't make it a substantial contribution to the discussion. Particularly, in context, it is not a rebuttal to the climae != weather response to an attempt to argue that climate predictions should be dismissed because of the difficulty of specific weather predictions.

Predicting the long-term trendline around which a rapidly-changing variable will vary is a different (and, often, easier) task than predicting the specifics of the short-term variations.
Eh, startups 'pivot' all the time. Fun fact: Mongo, formerly 10gen, was originally a cloud/web-hosting service. They pivoted to just publish their database, which is cool, but if you were one of the early customers it kind of leaves you high and dry.
same here - similar issues... bravo to the poster for sharing the findings!
Even in smaller cities within a single zip-code there can be problems.

Here in San Luis Obispo, Charter cannot run cable to many of the downtown historical buildings–leaving AT&T DSL as the only option. I've turned down some office space because of it.
you can split the tabs over more than one process (by increasing dom.ipc.processCount), but that's even more experimental than e10s itself
Rust already supports dynamic dispatch[1], and the 'code re-use' proposals may not look like traditional inheritance. [2] Furthermore, they're being driven _by_ those low-level requirements: it's about being able to efficiently represent things that truly need it, like the DOM.

In rural areas, it's actually common to have a gas pump near the garage. After all, what are you going to do, drive your tractor to town to fill up?
I love Pentadactyl too, that's why I'm amazed it's no longer supported. Seems to me that with all the vim and Firefox-using devs out there, a lot of people would want to support it. But I have no evidence of that.
It was assigned before 2001 so it's grandfathered in and isn't subject to the normal .edu rules.
> At the same time as adding Docker support to Rocket, we have also opened a pull-request that enables Docker to run appc images (ACIs).

I really hope this lands and something constructive can come out of it. There is a lot more that can be gained by these communities working together and not promoting divisiveness.
The fundamental problem is that there are few limits on why a customer or investor can sue a company. Getting hacked is obviously a material impact on a business, and so public disclosure of a hacking often leads to lawsuits.

There is an entire industry of lawyers who look for any excuse to sue companies; they often get "go-away" settlements even if there's not much to the case. It's just cheaper for the company than a trial.

So, this creates a strong incentive for companies to never ever reveal any cybersecurity problem unless they are compelled to do so by law. As a result, most of the current systems for sharing real-time cybersecurity info are private, invite-only, your-buddy-has-to-invite-you type affairs.

The government is not a private company and can't be sued for revealing cybersecurity information. So it could collect the detailed threat info and share it widely--helping security teams get smarter faster.

The hard part is that details of intrusions and hacks almost always include data that could be characterized as personally identifiable (since every attack has a person behind it somehow). So the hard part is setting a legal standard that keeps data usefully specific, while protecting everyone else's privacy.
Plaxo!
You could request this by filing a bug in Bugzilla.
Ditto. LinkedIn is a self-updating Rolodex for me and it's useful for that. Plaxo sure wasn't any better and I do like having a service of this basic type.

I basically don't use it for anything else and generally ignore emails that they send me. (And only accept connection requests from those who I--within 5 seconds or so--see some reason to connect with. If I don't recognize your name or your company doesn't imply some good reason to connect, I'm ignoring you if you send me a canned request.)
> So, scientists can't yet get the weather forecast correct for even part of an afternoon, in a single city... but they've got the next 1,000 years figured out? Let me know how that works out.

If I can't predict what side of the coin will be facing up on the tenth flip, how can I possibly expect to be able to predict the average of ten years of coin flipping?
Ah I missed that, sorry. Thanks for pointing it out.
File a bug for it. Maybe somebody will implement that for you!
That's as silly as companies that only look at your Github.

I.e., I'm sure someone out there does it, but they are dumb.

I deleted my LinkedIn account a while ago. Their UI is full of dark patterns and the only thing I ever got out of their service was recruitment spam from people that hadn't actually read my profile.

Since deleting my account, I get much less spam from recruiters. If I still get some, it's easy to get rid of them with a simple reply or a click on an unsubscribe link.
How many businesses have access to that list or even know it exists? Every single business in the U.S. needs to get smarter about online security, and a big part of that is getting useful information about modern lines of attack. A few private arrangements are not going to do the job.
Misleading title: The woman owns a company, the revenue of which is almost $1M. She has 15 employees, and takes home $55k/year. But that doesn't sound nearly as interesting...

Another note: The article mentions that a lot of the hand-knitted items are purchased from India, where final trims and buttons are added on in the US, so they can claim that they were made by their team in California. Looking at the shop, too, I can't see any mention of Indian outsourcing. E tu, Etsy!?
I tried that. DDG just wasn't even remotely good enough to service my searching habits.

Instead, I've switched to Disconnect search. They proxy searches and claim to do so anonymously. So at least I'm not directly contributing to Google's profile building that way. It does add a second or two latency per search, which can be annoying.

FF switched to Yahoo, and I'm just amused at how bad it is. They even open results in new tabs by default, a lame trick used to try to accidentally keep people on your site.

It's unfortunate, but Google really does dominate in search.
I agree, I think it would be much better for everyone if the two container specs merged.

However, after reading "This is a simple functional PR..." in the blog post, I was surprised to see the PR adds over 38k lines of code. Seems like that will take a while to review.
Actually, the area hired a number of leading architects to design the homes. Different subdivisions have similar feels, but I find the houses themselves to have a quite a bit of variety. I dig 'em.

Of course, you could also just be complaining about the idea of new development, generally, but all the new folks we keep producing are going to have to live someplace. I'm a fan of the choices they've made in Mueller so far.
Access is relatively. Eg. I only found out there is a second provider after I had signed the long term contract and the tech was physically installing it. (he mentioned the other provider during troubleshooting)

Then again their packages are a reasonable compromise between nice and the realities of Internet so it's cool. Eg. Gigabit access but only unmetered late at night. So if you need to pump a terabyte of data you can do so...at 1AM.

Wait, East of Highway 35? Really?

So where are they planning to have the gun shop? After a couple years of living down there I knew which parts of town weren't ideal after dark. That's...kind of not where I'd pick to live. There's a reason demand is more out West of the City rather than East.

Mixed income housing reads nice on paper. I wish I was kidding, but I get the feeling that crime in that area might be an issue.
This looks really interesting, I'll have to check it out on my next project. Thanks.
Judging by your comment, I bet you're also fed up with the web being overloaded and scripted to hell to build enterprise applications on top of a system that was only designed to deliver plain readable text with links to other plain readable text. Me too.

I think web applications should never have existed. The web was designed for hypertext, images, and other static consumable content. It wasn't designed to be a platform for massive distributed applications. Why are there so many security fuckups on the web? Because it wasn't designed to be secure. The fact that people are now programming desktop applications in JavaScript against NodeJS suggests to me that the web has gone too far. We should have built something new to handle what we now call "web applications".

I, too, look at huge disgusting URLs every day and wonder why we didn't see this coming.
Peak utilization is more important than average.
I'm not sure that's totally true – the number of people I've seen who are frustrated by constant popups, reminders and so on far outweighs the number of people who I've encountered talking about how much they want to sign into multiple accounts…

I use chrome on every device that allows the install.

I've not experienced these slowdowns or crashes, on any of the machines that I use. (PCs, Phones, Tablets...) Perhaps something you've installed (your extensions maybe?), is giving you issues.

Your problem could be as simple as you're using the wrong versions of java and chrome together. Mix-n-match 64-32 bit doesn't work well at all.
Same here. It is a pretty huge PR though, without having gone through the usual design proposal process (i.e., https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md...).
This extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-great-suspende... helped me a lot keeping multiple tabs under control. I tend to leave tabs open for days, sometimes weeks, and come to them later. I don't want to waste memory all that time to just keep a tab open. So this extension helps with that.
In the US, we are now using 40-50% of our corn to produce ethanol. ~40% of corn goes directly to feed livestock.

Some of the by-product of ethanol production (dried distillers' grain) is then also used as livestock feed.

The US absolutely produces enough food, way more than we need, we just aren't using it to actually feed people.

I asked our networking folks and there are couple parts to fix this. First, this bug recently landed which allows us to respect the system network status better:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=939318

I believe thats enabled on windows in FF35, but won't be enabled in Mac/Linux until FF38.

There is a separate issue to deal specifically with recovering from proxy settings that have gone bad, though:

Work has not started there, but its on our radar.
Rust has had dynamic dispatch via since time immemorial, because there are a few things that static dispatch can't express (the original motivating factor was having an array full of different types that all implement the same interface). It is achieved by leveraging a feature of the traits system known as "trait objects": http://doc.rust-lang.org/book/static-and-dynamic-dispatch.ht...

But you are correct in that one of the loudest objections to the potential inclusion of inheritance in Rust is that people don't want two ways of achieving dynamic dispatch, because suddenly then you're in the same boat as C++ where you must decide which incompatible subset of the language to use in your codebase.
Jit came with 1.3.1 if I recall. Of course the real question is if lisp is that good why aren't more people using it? Including the people who know about lisp and java?
I suppose it depends on the culture you work in.

We wrote a proposal along with the PR: https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/10777

Adding a PR with working code was simply to show that adding this feature is something that is possible. It is OK if nothing from this implementation gets merged.
