I am a guy who gives everything to Google, have every god damn thing turned on on my Nexus. It's not that I trust Google, I have come to terms with the fact that privacy is dead.

The overall experience when you do give Goggle everything is quite good ( Google Now ) but I too second your opinion about Android permissions, its really idiotic.
I assume you meant the code. Please feel free to use it. It is hardly "mine" because it just contains putting up 'sklearn' functions together. In case that is not appropriate, what license do you suggest?
Charitably speaking, that is very confusing considering you responded to:

> Haskell is particularly guilty of creating several different indenting possibilities, and does require constant intervention

with:

> You really have to design your language around it for it to work well. Haskell has a a lot of syntactic craziness in the name of simplicity.

Where "it" would seemingly be indentation, implying Haskell wasn't designed around making indentation simple.
> In most US states anybody can make an arrest if they reasonably believe a felony has taken place

IIRC, that's incorrect; in most US states, the rule is that non-felonies (if lawfully subject to such arrests at all) subject to citizens arrest only if they occur in the presence of the arresting person (not if the arresting person merely reasonably believes that they have occurred), and even for felonies the arresting person must reasonably believe that the arrested party committed the felony, but the felony must also have actually occurred, otherwise the arresting person is liable for false arrest even with reasonable belief that the arrested party had committed a felony.
You hit the nail on the head:) We have been tackling the same concept over at Honeit.com and see a lot of value in this space. Would love to swap stories if up for a coffee chat in the bay.
What about phpbb, is that still a thing? Seems perfect for what they want.

The practice I use is a technique developed in the chiropractic profession called Neuro Emotional Technique, commonly referred to as NET.

I'm well aware that chiro attracts much contempt in forums like this one, and indeed I'm not in any way a devotee of chiro generally (anymore).

But I was made aware of NET when I was trying chiro as a possible treatment for my condition, and found that whilst conventional chiro didn't help much, NET helped a lot.

I've since learned how to do it myself without the help of a practitioner, so I can do it daily without having to spend the time or money visiting a clinic.

I've also found my progress has accelerated since I started doing a particular kind of yoga called Kundalini. I now try and do that daily too.

NET is just one of many techniques for improving the subconscious mind; others include more traditional practices like meditation, hypnosis, prayer, as well as more recently-developed ones like neuro-linguistic programming and emotional freedom technique ('tapping').

But I've tried all these over many years, and NET has been by far the most effective.
I didn't want to make the post longer than it is, but there's a slew of related failings on Skype's site, including inability to even post on their discussion forums if your Skype account is disabled. I've seen many people post only by creating new Email & Account, which is even more disturbing as a practice. They mostly get no assistance either, as far as I can tell.

Believing your beliefs are the only correct way to believe is fine, but gets rather interesting when accusing the "other party" as brainwashed.
What's your goal in leaving the USA?

Your rights are more likely to be infringed by the NSA--you're not "protected as an American" to whatever extent that remains or might be reinstated.

If it's for privacy--you'll have less of it.

Funny, after early today having to enter "Hospital" then "Emergency Room" into maps while in down town Phoenix, I found the whole experience pretty disappointing... Google should really work on that kind of entry.
My take (spolers abound)

- the main theme is emotional detachment / coldness as a comfortable place - is it a desirable position to be in?
- Kamita is a god who protects the bar, perhaps he may be the willow tree.
- the cat represents his comfort in feeling detatched from his emotions
- the woman who he sleeps with breaks this spell - he is neither able to remain detached (he feels sympathy for her due to her wounds) nor act decisively once her lover returns
- his trip is a chance for him to regain his detachment and his comfortable place, but he blows it with his emotional letter
- he has decide if he can face the fact he really does have some woes, attractions, desires etc. . that's the cliff he stands on the edge of while he sobs under the covers..
Yeah, it was pretty wild when I am seeing even reminders (flight times, show times, etc) from stuff that I received in my gmail inbox. It's convenient, and makes sense, but a bit unexpected.
I've been using NewsBlur. It works well on desktop and mobile, and is reasonably priced.
Indeed. I like to see it as hazard pay. Don't sell your soul for cheap.

Is Murakami really this predictable though?
Maybe the NSA should just outsource their IT operations to Google... Google has a better security/breach track record, and seems to do better in terms of finding what people are looking for.. I'm sure giving them more data to work with could only help. :-D
A lot of people are going to compare any kind of private police to "real" police, but that' just the first step in coming to realize what a police force actually is.

Xiaomi Introduces GoPro-Style Action Camera
Having been involved in various versions of these, some observations.

First, just having a semi-common mail subject line of [ANGERSOCK-BAD-ATTITUDE] or whatever and then having a list of contacts and reply-all works pretty well. You can easily tag and filter the resulting backchannel, and it helps lend to the general sharing style of "Here is a thing", "Here is a comment on that thing", "Here is a comment on that comment". Longer-form discussion or debate is better suited to IRC.

Second, IRC is really, really good for this. Like, seriously, go setup a channel on Quakenet or whatever for you and your friends today! It's open, there's a lot of clients you can get, and it definitely feels more intimate than certain hangouts or social-web solutions.

Third, try to bring in people with different views. It makes discussions more interesting, makes everyone more moderate, and overall helps people learn. That said, people have to be respectful of one another, or at least have some agreed-upon decorum for teasing and ribbing. Sometimes, it's helpful to hang around and make sure that people who are opposed to, say, a majority opinion on GG or whatever still see that they are still members of a majority on something else (like, chocolate flavors or whatever). Everybody wants to be part of a community, and you can accomplish--with care!--even if that community has different beliefs.

Fourth, group dynamics and conversations can really, really change just by adding one or two people. It's not something to be done lightly, and it may be necessary (say, in the case of the email backchannel) to just address a different subset of the group in order to prevent flamewars or whatever. The main idea is that everyone is part of the community, but again, that they don't feel ostracized for disagreeing on a few points.

A shortened version of the title at Salon would be, to me, more accurate and neutral: "America's First Drug Dealer: Arnold Rothstein"

I don't particularly care for Salon's subtitle, though. It paints a picture of the drug war as being started by the drug dealers, as does the headline on HN. It was certainly not: It took the US Congress to outlaw narcotics in the first place, and Anslinger's involvement to scare the public to the point that a war was truly begun. The criminal element that moved into this newly created environment were clearly opportunists who seemingly didn't realize there was a war at all.

Truly, it's a tragic story. If addiction has touched your life in any way, this book is a worthwhile read.

I don't have any resources in particular but I've personally made them for years. In general you read memory and take action (via keyboard input) based upon what you read from memory.

For example in a game where you fish, you would wait until a fish is on hook by watching the representative value in memory and pressing a key to catch a fish when that value indicates you have a fish on-hook.

In Super Hexagon you would watch the values indicating where walls were placed, which is likely an array of enumerable values indicating a shape (each shape has at least one opening). So a 1 might indicate a wall only at north, a 3 might indicate every odd side of the hexagon is a wall which must be avoided, etc.

Finding values is obviously easier when the value is displayed on-screen, like ammo in first-person shooters. It takes some time to become familiar with exploring memory like this and you certainly wouldn't want to write your own memory scanning primitives to do it, start with a tool like Cheat Engine (http://www.cheatengine.org/), ArtMoney (http://www.artmoney.ru/), or one of the many other memory editors available (https://www.google.com/search?q=memory+editor).

The more interesting question is will humans let computers that are smarter than us make all our decisions for us :)
This line of thinking ignores simple domain specific languages like SQL, which 9 times out of 10 are held in strings in the host language (and thus undergo no static checking because the contents of strings are basically ignored by the compiler. There are other examples too: html files contain nested Javascript, CSS etc. PHP files host HTML. C++ effectively hosts C and assembly.

Haskell hosts a few dozen languages called "extensions" - specified in a {-# LANGUAGE #-} pragma at the top of the file. This one is of particular interest because the language appears to have some kind of extensible syntax which allows these extensions to occur - except when you look under the surface, they're all combined into the same grammar and they all interact with each other, such that other extension developers basically need an entire understanding of all of them to know where conflicts may lie.

Using a framework like LanguageBoxes instead to host these kinds of extensions would allow individual developers to put their own, independant extensions into the language, without having to hack on the compiler and rebuild it.

Also, writing several independant programs and using any IPC to communicate between them is ideal in theory, but in practice is more often unsuitable - because Unix processes are a bloat. They take time to initialize and use lots more memory than necessary for what amounts to running code for a small amount of time and discarding of it. Perhaps if we had a more lightweight model of processes ala Erlang style, this kind of reusability would be practical and not just a good philosophy to follow.
So, a lot of the comments here are misunderstanding what this video is, and focusing on parts that don't matter. First, here are the last two editions:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gEWoVCl-xU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6cNdhOKwi0

In addition many commenters are getting distracted by the nature of the displays, the lack of focus on people, and the level of automation in the software. This video is made by Microsoft's Office team, and the key idea here is the content of the productivity scenarios they've expressed. And truthfully, they've made some fairly successful predictions in past videos, including items like Skype automatic translation, services like PlateJoy, natural ink processing...

So what are they actually predicting here? Here's what I spot in order:

Augmented reality in work scenarios (diving)

Gesture control in augmented reality

Sharing of what you personally see

3D printers in the classroom

Pannable panoramic video recordings

Trivial sharing between computers

Flexible screens

Perfect wireless coverage

Advanced budgeting assistance

High quality freelancer-project matching

Use of pens on touch screens for writing and more

Automatic advanced data-visualizations (the types of things that are custom made at the moment)

An armband device using hand gestures instead of touch.

24 hour coworking spaces available on short notice.

Easy window organization

Do not disturb for all incoming contact

Automatic diet tracking

Even better contextual video

Advanced job performance analysis

Looks like a pretty cool and not unreasonable list of predictions to me. They're not saying that this is what this WILL look like, just what it might look like. And honestly, I think we will see at least 50% of those items in the next ten years.

Ebola Survivor Nina Pham Suing Hospital to Be 'Voice for Other Nurses'
Xiaomi is a fantastic company, but I think they are still unavailable to most Westerns. Having never lived in China, I'm not sure how difficult is it to buy a Western-produced good (e.g. iPhone), but I know from trying to buy an Xiaomi product in the past, it's rather difficult.

There is no "direct" avenue of purchase, and the only reputable suppliers seem to tack on huge premiums that all but negate the usual price advantage that Xiaomi provides.

A nifty, suspiciously similar looking device that likely will never make it to US consumers hands, or even their minds. Have you ever tried to explain to someone non-tech who Xiaomi is? Same goes when people ask if my OnePlus One is an HTC product.
I actually think it was a decent article--good points, some decent hands-on knowledge. I agree that slapping "feminist" as a modifier on everything was a bit odd, because the advice functions for any group you want to assemble.

A point about the echo-chamber, though:

Sometimes, if you are optimizing for humor or whatever, an echo-chamber is exactly what you want, because the social mores and cultural touchstones are the same. It's also very hard to have people with widely diverse viewpoints in these groups (worth it though!), because the tendency is just to turtle up and argue back and forth and back and forth and generally suck the air out of the place for anything else. This makes it not fun, and that drives people away, and then your channel dies.

If you want to try that, you need people that are willing to find a point and say "Okay, we clearly agree to disagree here, and let's move on and not revisit this unless circumstances really change or we are just being academic". That's a sort of civility, though, that is very rare.

It's also difficult because you have two people who are meeting and usually who have very different echo-chambers they subscribe to, and so even when they do enter into a discussion they are doing so from such divergent starting points that they're more likely to talk past each other.

On a more self-critical note - I think hackers love to read about AI on hacker news more than they would spend time actually solving the problem ! ( this is why these types of articles written by non-professional journalists are being up voted at the top of hacker news )

BS. Privacy is not dead. You just gave up your privacy because you wanted a smartphone and wanted to use Google Now.

Privacy while connected to the internet is almost dead but even then it's weak to just surrender. And I think more people are fighting than you might think. Using an app like TextSecure for example is giving back a little privacy.
I have to say that WebOS on the touchpad was probably my first positive tablet experience as a user.. the UI made total sense and worked incredibly well... I think that Android and iOS have finally caught up, but there's something to be said for webOS' simplicity in design.

It was definitely ahead of its' time.. I didn't stick with it long, as the browser became very dated, very quickly.. but overall it is still one of the better devices I've used (aside from HP's choice for a janky proprietary charger).

While I really like a lot of where the current Android has gone, I think some choices are just difficult for power users.. for more than 2 email accounts (let alone 5+) the gmail interface truly sucks... some of the flyover buttons (like new message) are just awkward, and some of the other apps are weird too.

The experience in google maps seems to be getting worse with time and more use as well. Hangouts as a replacement for google voice is cumbersome and incomplete... I think of this era of android to be akin to Windows Vista at release... some great ideas, but half baked... Hopefully it gets better not worse.

I haven't used iOS on a regular basis enough to comment there. I prefer JS + HTML for apps, it's not a bad idea all around... It (webos) was one of the earlier places for node development (before it got really good).
New to java, but just wondering ... would that be due to intern()-ing (strings/symbols/etc.)?
This is complete bullshit. Do you live in NYC?? No, of course you don't, which is why you have no f'n idea WTF you're talking about. I do, and especially Manhattan is dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists alike. People get hit all the time. The singular thing that keeps speeds sane is all the traffic. So when there's little traffic on a single lane side street, let alone the avenues, it's taxis and Escalades busting 40+ always. This town is adult Disney Land, and as such every vehicle should have a tracker, charging tax by the f'n mile and minute, and tracking speed and charge disproportionately for speeding - 5mph over leeway and after that it's $500 automatic account fine per mph over that. Dicks. This city is a f'n goddamn shithole mainly because of all the insane amounts of traffic. God I love this town... but it is a shithole and cars are far far far more dangerous than anything else around here. Except maybe falling cranes. And the police. OK that's not fair, I'm white I have no room to complain.
30 is still a very painful accident for a pedestrian; but, yes, ideally there'd be less pedestrian incidents... [1, random thought footnote]

That said, most of the things I was suggesting had more to do with highway situations, where I imagine most of the speed cameras would be situated. I was mainly ranting about things that I see almost every single time that I go driving, if not every single time I go driving, that erks me as a safety hazard that seems more dangerous than speeding (where speeding is defined as above the posted limit, but within a modest delta of other adjacent cars on the highway)

[1, random thought footnote] Unless we had some sort of ironic situation where since cars are going slower, pedestrians become more presumptuous about their powers and the car's stopping abilities / driver's attentiveness and it'd result in more accidents. Who knows
As I'm sure the theologically informed will say, it is "thou shall not murder" which is to say not socially endorsed killing.
