I actually find new electronic automotive systems to be easier than the "old way" (tracing wires, probing with a multimeter, etc.): oftentimes the issue will have diagnosed itself, and, if not, the ECU diagnostic tool will have an actual value display and a list of actuators you can hit to see if the sensor responds appropriately. I've never seen a sensor that's more than about $150, but I'm sure they're out there.

The frustrating part (which is indeed common to German cars and high-end tractors) is that the diagnostic systems are all loaded with unnecessary and ridiculous manufacturer protectionism. You can't even clear the "Change Oil" light on a new Porsche without a Porsche diagnostic system or the reverse-engineered clone tool (Durametric). And even once you've found a broken sensor or component, it's often pointlessly "coded" (its serial number written into an EEPROM) such that the factory diagnostics tool needs to bless its replacement.
What is the intention of licensing the core server under AGPL?

Does the REST API represent enough of a boundary behind the Pushpin server to separate the web application from the AGPL's requirement to give the source code to public users?

Edit: Are there any widely-used proxies this tightly coupled with applications that are released under a similar license? (Translation: is this normal?)
In theory it may not be that much. There's no reason you can't reuse the same few J to split several molecules, and capture it again for the next batch.

One probably can't get a resersible process, but just adding up the energy to break all the trash can be wrong by several orders of magnitude.
What's up with the tax breaks everywhere? Guh...
A lot of earlier work in the area was due to many companies building their own hardware that ran on internal PC busses. Now most of them have found that USB is responsive enough,so the driver work on internal bus devices is down. In addition, Microsoft has made it increasingly easier to develop drivers and including more of the stuff you previously had to do yourself as part of the Device Driver Kit.

The fact that Anthem could not be bothered to spend the time or money to secure their data until it was stolen has nothing to do with it. Not at all.

How am I supposed to respond? Here is what you said:

So you're against the income tax?

Control + f, "income tax"

Arguing a straw man is precisely what you did. I said I think it's a bad idea to tax copyright ownership, and you responded by claiming I'm against income taxes.

I'm sorry, but that's just an absurd way to argue. In no way did I make any statement remotely close to arguing against income taxes. That doesn't have anything to do with the topic at hand.

If you're truly interested in a public conversation, then respond to what I actually said.

I would like to repost a comment from reddit[1] that makes some good points:

"That title is pretty laughable.

Enterprise E-Mail Encryption solutions do NOT use gnupg, and most enterprise customers do not even use openpgp, they use X.509/SMIME.
I know the world top 10 server side enterprise e-mail encryption solutions and the majority uses java with either bouncycastle or ajak encryption, for PGP or openssl/bouncycastle for SMIME. There are some solutions that use gnupg but those are very small and again - most people do not use openpgp in the business world. Mostly automotive uses it like Porsche, VW etc. for encrypting e-mail traffic.
Gnupg is mostly used for e-mail by your skilled engineers in private or while communicating with kernel developers etc. Either by using enigmail/mutt/command line whatever.

Nothing based on e-mail would "break" if gnupg went missing.

Now lets get back to Mr. Koch - gnupg was sponsored by the German Government - in all these years - Mr. Koch tried to build a consulting company/enterprise solution out of it - but he failed because there were already existing solutions that were far better than anything he could come up with. Moreover asking Mr. Koch to fix specific bugs in gnupg which was as i said sponsored resulted in simply "pay me XXX amount or i wont do it" - thats how Mr. Koch worked.

Ask any code auditor/reviewer worth his salt and he will tell you gnupg is a mess, it is worse than openssl in most cases - why ? Ask Mr. Koch.

I just want to remind everyone carefully judge, before thinking about donating to Mr. Koch or his company. I already noticed he received well over 50k today just because of this false article.

This guy got funding multiple times from the german government for implementing and maintaing gnupg. This was never a fulltime job - adding patches and a few features is what any open source developer does in his free time. Mr. Koch tried to build a business upon this government funded software, and it failed. He already had multiple fundraisers in his careers to keep his company going. Does he deserve your money ? It is not like gnupg would be dead without him - he is not the only one doing anything - there are many developers in the community who are doing their share too.

Arent there other things more deserving of funding than the failed economical existence of one guy ? An open source developer that wants to contribute free software does not need your money to survive! Did Mr. Richard Stallman or Linus Torvalds ever beg people for money because they cant buy their next meal ? Did the BSD Foundation plea to you they cant make days end ? No - they never did - and they still were able to produce free open source software.

Mr. Koch does not deserve your money, if anything successors of him should receive funding if they need to - but not to survive - because they most likely got a real job already and doing this in their free time.

It's all about function and simplicity. Take a Massey Ferguson 1100 (1964 - 1972) or 175 (1964 - 1975). You could tear them down to the frame with two hammers, a good (big) wrench set and enough time. I have, and do. I currently run one of each, today, as work machines.

Now, everything is computerized and requires a degree in electrical engineering to figure out. That's not me being a Luddite wishing for better days, it's a fact.

I can fix mechanical breakdowns in the field, no matter how complicated. Those machines are simple to maintain, cheap to run, and are unbelievably reliable. The process to diagnose and solve issues is as simple as finding the part that is cracked or fell off.

My neighbor has a John Deer 5E something or other utility tractor. Same horsepower as the 1100, and smaller, which is nice. BUT, we can't fix a fried circuit on the throttle control - hell, we're lucky to find it without needing to call out the implement dealer.

It's that; simplicity. Those mega-tractors and all of the new bells and whistles are great for corporations and large-outfits who can afford to have a machine down for three weeks while you wait for diagnosis and repair.

The gray hat and black hat approaches are actually fairly profitable in the automotive industry and could probably sell well in the farm industry too.

Gray-hat reverse-engineered tools like Durametric for Porsche and VAG-COM for VW sell with moderate degrees of success into the enthusiast and independent service shop market (where $800 for a Durametric with 40% of the capability is a lot more appealing than $14,000 + service plan for a PIWIS).

The black-hat approach seemingly can be profitable (like all black-hat pursuits, depending on your moral beliefs) as well: various Chinese manufacturers make enough money selling knockoff Mercedes diagnostic "multiplexers" on eBay to make it worth their while to produce them.

There are a ton of value-add products you can sell once you've reverse engineered a control system, too, like custom tuning and add-ons unavailable from the manufacturer.

I also recommend installing the Perl you are using outside of the system directories. You may also find Pinto and https://Stratopan.com useful for managing your dependancies. Which is especially useful if you make your codebase modular.

Well then what is the lower bound? The standard way to prove inequalities that should exist in a free market is through showing arbitrage patterns. This way one can prove f.eg. that a call option should never be more expensive than the underlying security, or that a call plus a put is essentially a futures contract.

How do we show the lower bound on bond yield rate? Arbitrage executed through a company that employs exhaustive security measures allowing its clients to store pallets of cash? It still depends on time-varying factors, such as employee costs, utilities, the probability of a random natural disaster or the probability of a fire wrecking the entire building.
> However, for FMA I assume that they break the FMA instruction into two uOps that have to be issued back to back to the same execution unit. The changes to the reorder register renaming logic would be just too painful otherwise, especially since Intel uses a unified scheduler which also handles the integer ops.

FMAs are not split, they are executed as single instructions issued in a single cycle. There were no changes to renaming or reorder logic from 3-op instructions. Since SNB, Intel has been using PRF, where the rename system is decoupled enough from the scheduler that there is no need for any changes.
The thing is centralized economy planning can never be the most efficient solution, no matter how powerful computer systems. The economy consists of individuals who drive supply and demand. They know best what they need and that's a simple and elegant solution.

I don't understand why even try to centrally plan the economy. It's stupid and doesn't make sense. Even if it was possible it would require resources to centrally run it. There would be no competitive edge because the economy is based on the people who participate in it. The information is already out there. It's publicly accessible. Centrally planning it would create an unnecessary middleman and break the perfect solution.

"... It doesn't follow from YC's success with software companies that the model will be similarly successful for hardware companies. ..."

That is true. A better way to think of it, might be as an experiment. Do you remember when YC was started funding startups? The tech group-thought at the time: a toy, a joke, nothing serious, never to gain traction.
> ...economics is the study of something that is 100% man-made

I take exception with the idea that economics is a human construct. Economics, in the broader sense of the term is about decision making and getting most out of limited resources.

Macro-economics is probably more like story telling or history rather than a hard science. It's a shame that it went the quantitative route over the years. No one tries to attribute an R^2 to a general's decision and their outcomes. I think modern macro-economics is suffering from scientism.

From Wikipedia: Scientism is belief in the universal applicability of the scientific method and approach, and the view that empirical science constitutes the most authoritative worldview or most valuable part of human learning to the exclusion of other viewpoints
Ask HN: How to learn language?
I know, my english is very bad. I read a lot in english and hear english podcasts, but nothing help, because I don't get feedback and therefore I can't get better (or very slow).

Because of family, full-time job and side project I don't have spare time to just sit down and studying language. Only time I have is about 20-30 minutes per day while I travel from my work. Unfortunately, I can't memorize if I hear some sort of audio/video course. I learn from writing and conversations.

What could you suggest me?

One idea is to write some blog posts on mobile (n900, with keyboard and git, yeah) and then push it to github to allow pull requests. But I can't expect that some one will correct me.

We used to do it because dealing with cross-browser compatibility was a pain. For instance, I used to use a 1-pixel applet instead of XMLHttpRequest for AJAX (slightly before they coined the term "AJAX") and applets for rendering live-updated XML-based diagrams (instead of SVG) in both cases because it simply made things less buggy and less of a pain to support at the time. But that was in 2004 to 2007.

But once we've written something, and it works, we're often a little slow updating it to newer tech, because we can't write a paper out of "the same thing I published earlier, but now using SVG and XHR instead of applets".

If it still just-about works, there's less impetus to rewrite it.

AAA estimates that it costs roughly 40 to 97 cents per mile to own a car (depending on the type of car and how much you drive)[1] so I'm having a hard time seeing that a lot of people will let random strangers abuse their cars for 5-20 cents per mile. Because let's face it, nobody treats rental cars as well as their own cars.

Owners earn 5-20 cents per mile. So an average of 12.5 cents, works out to $30 per 6000 miles. Just considering the oil, it doesn't sound appealing as a full synthetic oil change costs about $60. If you consider the savings from free airport parking around DFW for 6 months, that's 182 days x $7 = $1274. I'm still reluctant.

A lot of German cars have "coded" sensors and modules, where the sensor's serial number is written into protected storage somewhere and a mismatch will disable functionality. In some cases it makes sense (for example, if special calibration data needs to accompany the sensor) but it's often implemented simply to make replacement require a factory technician. I wouldn't be surprised if Deere have gone the same route.
This attitude is pervasive on HN, and I find it a little baffling. If someone took advantage of a lax property-management company to successfully burgle an apartment complex, I can't imagine anyone being so cavalier about pursuing the actual criminals behind the theft.
Yes, the intent is that the Pushpin<->backend interface is enough of a boundary that you don't need to provide the source code of your backend applications.

The AGPL is used to protect Pushpin itself. Open sourcing it all was a big step for us. :)
It's also entirely plausible that shutting down everything is the default behavior when a problem is detected. It's much simpler from an engineering standpoint, and safer for the manufacturer.

Totally agree. A simple "X didn't happen before so it won't happen now" is missing the fact that the environment has massively changed with respect to usage and influence of Twitter and Google. As I said though, this change has been in _favor_ of Twitter if anything (which stands to reason, since Google was already a leviathan by then and Twitter was still quite young). So if anything one would expect the push to sacrifice Twitter's quality for SEO on Google to be less.
It's what works for you. Honestly, I love cloud storage. I decided to go with Microsoft's OneDrive because it has unlimited storage, and if there's any data that I need encrypted, I can just encrypt a folder on the sync-drive.

Just remember to have a back-up of your photos and other digital things that you can't lose at an off-site location also. There are several solutions that can do this that doesn't involve the "cloud".

I love the cloud though. Could it be compromised? Maybe. Could a fire happen in my house where I lose everything? Maybe. But as it stands now, I could walk away from everything I own, walk into a store and pick up a cheap laptop and access all my data again. But that's just me.

Some people are paranoid about their privacy and data (and a justifiable paranoia, don't get me wrong), but use a solution that works for _me_ personally. Everyone is different and will need a different solution. There's really no one-size-fits-all.
Perhaps I'm just daft and needed it explained to me a _lot_ of times, but this one stuck. Hope it helps other get it.
tldr - 15k words on Ripple scandals
Leonardo is almost production ready, we usually just add some lines to tune the caching parameters as needed.

This is the code for the Jolie website if you're curious about an example:

https://sourceforge.net/p/jolie/code/HEAD/tree/web/trunk/jol...

We launch leonardo/leonardo.ol on the server.

The reason for which Leonardo works is that "execution { concurrent }" line which tells Jolie to start a new (light) process whenever a top-level operation is invoked. In this case we have only default, a catch-all operation for serving requests for files. So each time a client invokes Leonardo, a new process handles the request. Jolie processes are implemented as threads (cached in a thread pool when possible) with a local state (no data sharing, only communications).

Notice that in Leonardo we are embedding frontend.ol, which means that it will be run as a sub-service. And we also aggregate it in the HTTP input port, which means that its operations become available to clients. So now clients can not only invoke the catch-all default operation, but also the operations in frontend.ol.

Looking at frontend.ol, you will find one of these operation, e.g., "news". That's what you access when you go to http://www.jolie-lang.org/news

What does it do? It uses another sub-(micro)service, a blog reader, to fetch blog entries from our news blog, and then displays it to the user.

It's all a bit crude, in the enterprise we don't usually build html from scratch, but the Jolie website was so simple that we just went for it.
In Chrome, when I scroll to the bottom of an article at Bustle, click a link to another article, and then go back, I'm directed to the top of the first article, not the bottom where I left off.

Its well worth looking at US <-> middle east foreign policy through the eyes of saudi arabia.

Basically the Saudis have been waging a proxy war again Iran through the US and various "terror" groups. There is a school of thought that IS were initially funded via the Saudis.

The blood bath in Syria is also partly funded by the Saudis. (http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jan/18/john-mccain-s... partial source.)

I wish to steer clear of the whole conspiracy theory bollocks. Its much better to view the situation in the same way the previous Afghan war was waged against Russia.
It is interesting that this is finally seeing light of day.

When the 9/11 report came out several people (not conspiracy theorists) had legitimate questions regarding why we're bombing Afghanistan when Saudi Arabia had significantly stronger links to the events than Afghanistan did.

For example most of the money, most of the people, and many of the organisations were Saudi based, and while Afghanistan's now famed "training camps" did exist, a vast majority were in Pakistan.

Even Osama bin Laden (who's a Saudi national, by the way) initially denied the attack until after the US "credited" him by name (and then he just went with it). You can find videos of him denying responsibility on YT (and later accepting responsibility).

I'm not seriously suggesting we should have bombed Saudi Arabia, that's bonkers, I am just saying that it seems like Saudi Arabian national's punched the US in the face while Pakistan distracted, and the US then turned around and beat up Afghanistan in "revenge."

The 9/11 is pretty lacking in on crete information. I'd love to hear what historians think of it in retrospect in twenty or more years, when all the dust has settled. It raises more questions than it answers (not in the "false flag!!!" sense, but in the "so who was actually behind this???" sense).

Honestly a much more believable conspiracy theory is that reputed Saudis funded it and the US and Saudi Arabia covered it up to save face while Saudi cleaned house quietly. That's totally believable and in-line with the 9/11 report, leaks, and other information.
