OwnCloud looks pretty neat, but I do wish that it would support client-side encryption; I don't trust a machine I'm renting in a data centre any more than I do Facebook or Google. I'm aware that there (sadly) aren't standards for browser-uploaded encrypted files, sharing encrypted files efficiently and so forth, so it's hardly their fault.
This is not string interpolation. ES6 template strings can be used for multiline strings and string interpolation but that's just the basic case. What this article uses is "tagged template strings" - template strings where the interpolation is handled by a custom function. This way you can write sql`where name = ${name}` and the name parameter can be automatically escaped/sanitized.

We have done some work on a branch in SQLCipher that allows for adaptive key derivation length based on the device it runs on. The iteration length will be computed per device where time is the constraint. We presented our initial findings last year at PasswordsCon 14.
Tools such as keepass should move to use this layer instead of a custom format, and they should really be provided a UI around the data.

They can still continue to protect against in-memory access, etc.
So much good science going on here. Original experimental setup to turn a stochastic process into a repeatable one. Proper application of computational methods to study experimental results. Albeit I think I can see some problems with the AIMD work, it doesn't diminish the overall result. Really a fantastic piece of work.

I don't believe making a profit was the government's intention. Stopping a credit freeze was. Would you have the US government behave as a payday loan lender? If not then what's your point?
In theory it should be cheaper to fly, there's much less going on mechanically in a fixed rotor and there doesn't seem to be a pilot. However, I'm pretty sure that people have shown that creating human-scale quads is actually impossible with current battery tech. So, IMHO this is just another design that doesn't have anything to do with what is possible in the real world today.

There's a problem in England where adults with autism are living at home with their family. And then something happens - a parent needs a hospital stay or the family need some kind of break - so the person gets sent to an inpatient setting for a "short time". While there no-one knows how to deal with that person and everything is different and so they start to exhibit "challenging behaviour" and then they become trapped in a kafkesque system. They need to be released so their behaviour will return to normal, they can't be released because their behaviour is not normal.

Winterborne view shows what happens in some abusive care homes. (Some people have gone to prison because they were so abusive.) https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/winterbourne-view...

This should be changing. Government has said that people should be released wherever possible and that support should be provided in the community rather than in hospital settings.
So did Buran itself. Its wing needed replacement after that flight. That's why it didn't flew with people in 1989 when it was still politically/economically possible. Then, it was too late.
IIRC, The official narrative from politicians, news anchors and think-tanks was that:

- If the bailouts didn't happen, it would be mayhem, "too big to fail", etc.

- You got your money back with interest. It was all payed back (disregard economic theory and value of money in hand).

- Why are you complaining, you banjo-playing hippie? You can't be in OWS if you have an iphone! (In Erin Burnett's voice)

Many people will talk situations that forced the banks to hand out these bonuses and maybe they're right but the deeper problem is that when companies/banks/people suffer no consequence (and even worse, benefit from) doing illegal/harmful things then they're going to keep up doing them. profit vs "cost of infraction".
It's a drone so we can assume that at least most of the piloting will be done by the computer. So you could have EMT just enter the address press "Fly", adjust lever to Fast and wait.

> They seemed to regularly deceive or outright lie to him

This would matter more if this wasn't how society runs in general. White (and not so white) lies are the lubrication of social interaction: when a random someone asks how your day is going, they don't really want to know. They want to hear something positive or perhaps a mildly amusing quip. Anything else and the social interaction breaks down uncomfortable silence.

Took me awhile to learn that one.

Scooter may have ended up interacting with society better, or worse, had he always been told the truth, but human interactions are never so clean. I have trouble faulting the narrator of this story for being human in such a difficult and uncomfortable situation.
>>Waaat. I think the government should stop bailing out businesses. Either you let the company go bankrupt or you nationalize.

I couldn't get through the whole article... Partially because I am working and partially because the issue of Autism is difficult for me to read about.

My daughter was diagnosed at 16 months. She is now 20 months, so this is all very new to us.

The one thing I have learned is that if you have met one person with Autism then you have met one person with Autism. It's important to realize that Autism is a spectrum and therefore the needs of an individual can be very different and varied.

The other thing I would like people who are fortunate enough to not have encountered Autism is that early and intense therapy is ABSOLUTELY crucial. If you are a parent and suspect something, DO NOT hesitate. If you see legislation that adds support for young children then support it. In the long run society will save a lot more money and lives if we address this early rather than later.
The funny thing is that this is exactly the same fallacy programmers tend to run into when trying to game the legal system: that you're not violating the letter of the law, doesn't mean what you're doing is legal or that you can't be sued. It's not just a bunch of code.

The problem with taxation IMO is that it's caught in a vicious circle: companies / "the rich" are dodging taxes so the taxes need to be raised leading to more tax dodging and so on. Part of the problem is that tax fraud is often not punished in proportion to the actual value[0].

I don't think there's an easy solution, especially in a world that is as interconnected as ours is today.

Personally, I think income tax is a broken model because property is no longer a good indicator of wealth (it just encourages "investing" the money where it can't be taxed -- which comes with a threshold so high you end up hitting the middle and lower income households disproportionally).

Taxing the transfer of wealth more instead of its possession seems like a good idea, though. It might "slow the economy down", but with sub-millisecond stock trading being a thing I'm not sure this is a bad thing. It's not as if a huge income would be particularly useful if you aren't going to do anything with it anyway.

[0]: A recent case in Germany was Ulrich Hoeneß, the former president of the football club Bayern Munich, who was found guilty to have withheld nearly 30 million euros in taxes (after repeatedly admitting to much lower sums throughout the trial -- which to me sounds like obstruction, but what do I know). He was sentenced to three and a half years in prison, BUT an early release is extremely likely (so it's doubtful he will spend anywhere close to the full sentence behind bars) and after a mere six months he was already granted day release (meaning he can walk freely outside prison as long as he returns in the evening).

EDIT: Frankly, I'd be happy if income tax was replaced entirely by some form of transaction tax. It's far easier to reason about and far less likely to bite founders in the ass. In Germany most newly founded business go bankrupt in their third year because that's often the first time they not only have to pay tax on the previous years but also make advance payments for the current year, which can be deadly if you didn't make sure to put aside enough of your income to cover taxes (and accountants are expensive).
Musings about moving from Java to Scala
just http://knexjs.org/
This kind of proposals tend to ignore how mobile wealthy people are. They might have more than one home - say, one in US, onw in Switzerland, one in Hong Kong, etc - and they might have luxury items here and there. Taxing such things with wildly different percentages is not going to work very well. The rich guys will just shop for that jewellery in Dubai and keep it in Hong Kong. Will you require him/her to declare and pay tax on it if he brings it to Paris for throwing a party there? Not likely going to work out.

Effectively, a country engaging in such tax procedures would be throwing out rich people, and while I can hear the jeers of "good riddance", I'm afraid that it's not really a good thing for tax revenues.

One application would be to embed redis with the online documentation. This would allow to not only show examples but make them executable as well. The user could play with them without having to install anything.

Most of these "try X" features need a user session, allocate a server-side component to that session and then manage recycling. It's much less expensive to stick a JS on a CDN, and also scales much easier horizontally.

Ever since I've started working in IT, the rule has always been if you want a pay raise or a promotion, you go to a different company. Out of the four companies I've worked for in three different Midwest states, I've never worked at a place where the highest raise of anyone on my team has ever exceeded 1.5% per year. 2-3 years then get out and get your raise somewhere else.
This is an excellent and sad documentary about just that.

"For example, this concept is made to have only room for the injured person, which is a terrible thing. In many cases, the person will need qualified medical people to take care of him during the trip to the hospital, this makes it impossible."

Databases at Scale: The Real-Time, In-Memory Game
Not quite. The article is pointing out that the overall level of bonus is not well correlated with the revenue (or profit) of the companies as a whole. The poster is pointing out that that's largely because an individual's bonus, particularly in areas like IB (where most of the bonus pool ends up), is much more of a function of the revenue the individual brings in.

Part of the reason for the discrepancy at the time of the crash is that, until the liquidity crisis gummed everything up, most of the catastrophic losses where in a relatively niche area. A lot of the other parts of the banks did continue to make money.

Then when the liquidity crisis hit, the view was, generally, that significant parts of the businesses were still fundamentally sound so there was no point losing good people as they'd be needed to build things back up again.

I happen to think that all this is sensible up to, but not including, the bit about losing good people. This was fundamentally self serving and tended to define "good" as those who were successful is a overly risky environment.

Well, hey if we're just going to ad hominem attack Andrew Cuomo, it'd probably be much more effective to point out the recent scandal where he disbanded an anti-corruption task force because it was too effective and started questioning his friends, and that there's allegedly an active federal investigation into his affairs.

Doesn't have much to do with the bank bailout though.

I work at JamKazam--

This is running the Linux real time kernel to help us achieve extremely low latency and I/O jitter. We've had to do a ton of fine tuning to get the latency as low as it is.

Our website is built on Ruby-on-Rails backed by Postgresql. We are using Resque for asynchronous jobs, and a Websocket/RabbitMQ solution to help with events in the browser and events else where in the backend.

Our JavaScript is a homegrown mess (jQuery and, ahem, 'business logic'). Having kept up with the latest web tech mostly through HN, I'd take the React/Flux plunge if starting from scratch; I'm still looking for an excuse to start using them anyway, even if just for part of the site!

Anyway, we are very excited to be starting the KickStarter for the JamBlaster, because it's your best way to get the latency low enough to have a really good jam session.

I live in Massachusetts. A bill was passed recently to help address some of this by establishing a tax vehicle for long term care. It also extends ABA services to kids on MassHealth (which an Autism diagnosis qualifies them automatically).

Not sure where you are located. Hopefully legislation like this will be the norm nationwide.

I think people tend to conflate government run businesses with government departments.

Government departments will often be more bureaucratic for the simple reason that they have many additional roles to their primary ones: They are subject to openness and audit criteria that no private business is; they're subject to leadership systems that need to be resilient to far more frequent and drastic changes than in most businesses; they're subject to performance measurement across a far wider set of criteria than most private businesses etc.

I am using it in my iOS app and android app. It's great! It protects my data. But I had a problem before. The new version SQLCipher failed to read the existing encrypted database.

I really like knex, and have projects that use it too!

Sometimes, and especially on an intranet/admin tool thats not meant for widespread consumption, I start with a sql query (or an analyst hands me one) and it just needs to be a report/chart on a web page and isn't mean to be part of a product's API and flexible. Converting it to knex, and especially if the analyst changes their mind and gives me a brand new sql query, isn't really worth the effort (opportunity cost of working on that code vs something more fruitful).

Two questions:

- ARM licenses its designs so that would make their SoC design not open-source (both CPU and GPU)? (a sub question: they didn't specify in the main page who made the Mali. ARM doesn't make chips itself).

- By "software-wise" you mean the GPU driver? the way nVidia and AMD drivers are not open-source. But since people are trying to reverse-engineer those GPUs to make open-source drivers (nouveau and xf86-video-ati respectively), do you think this could be done for Mali too?

It would have many advantages. Every bigger winter storm slows down emergency response - this potentially could get to the person faster than a snow plow followed by an ambulance. Same thing with flooding, landslides, avalanches..

On highways, bigger accidents block large parts of the road making it very hard to get to the injured.

It potentially could arrive faster to any place in its range than a regular ambulance could.

If it was fully autonomous you could deliver few EMTs to the place of an accident, and have them ship the worst cases to the hospital while staying at the site and working on stabilizing the rest.

That difference doesn't exist when you talk to people about their perceptions of mental illness and violent behaviour. They think that people with a mental illness are likely to be violent, even though that's very unlikely. They think that a violent event will have been perpetrated by a person with a mental illness even though again it's not likely.

Norway certainly does have private exploration too, but note that we also levy massive extra taxes on oil companies, which adds up to something like 70% total, vs. 28% corporation tax on the profits of most other businesses.

I believe the licensing system also takes into account investment and effects on local economy to an extent that creates substantial capital inflow beyond what you'd otherwise see.
Thats irrelevant to how you calculate what the return should be compared to the risk involved.
Did you perhaps mean "purpose" instead of meaningful. Having purpose makes life meaningful. And yet, purpose is not dependent on physical or mental attributes.

For example, my wife's 20 year old cousin with who has cerebral palsy(motor skills mostly ok, intelligence level of a 10 year old) is a curler in the Special Olympics and recently won the provincial cup. She has purpose in life but if I understand your position correctly its not meaningful because of her disability.

Another example. I coach tykes football. I like having the younger kids and watching them learn and develop over a few years of ball. Every year we get new kids and every year we get one or two with varying degrees of ASD(obviously mild) or ADHD. And the one thing we agree on as coaches is to treat them all the same. Its amazing how much gaining a little confidence coupled with strong, steady reinforcement from a non-relative can go a long way in helping a child.

I guess my point is that everyone can be given purpose in life. People shouldn't be shuffled away somewhere out of sight because they make us uncomfortable by reminding us how we won the life lottery and they didn't.
Yep. That worked out pretty well, on the whole; government gets to keep the upside rather than just throwing money at the same management that failed and getting nothing to show for it.
My daughter just turned 11, and she was diagnosed just after she turned 2. Catching it at 16 months is a big advantage in the long run. A lot can change over time, and we've seen kids lose their diagnosis or have it altered.

If you aren't yet involved with any parent groups, consider that option. I've found the community to be warm, helpful, and willing to share information or services, resources, programs, etc. Good luck to you and your daughter.

Why couldn't the government offer those loans directly to main street until the credit freeze subsided? Just take one of the worst banks, nationalize it when it goes bankrupt, sell everything except the lending branch and use it to lend to main street with printed QE money. Divide it into bits and sell it when economy looks good again.
