There's a good amount of criticism as well as praise for her, and I'm not entirely sure your question is entirely fair.

The reality of it all is that transformations take time, especially when things at Yahoo had been so Scott Thompson'd. Marissa has been rebuilding a sinking ship from the inside out - where most people would've just tried to patch it up as it slowly sank, or sold it off for parts; I think that's what's admirable. I think that's why people defend her. She dared to defy the status quo. She dared to employ the same dedication as founders do day in and day out, and she demonstrated over and over again, the audacity to take risks.

I find it stranger that more people don't defend her. All of us should know that technology companies thrive or die from the inside; it's why startup founders spend such a disproportionate amount of time hiring great people. To anyone who actually bothered to pause and compare Yahoo's culture today to yesterday's, it would be obvious that Marissa's conviction and aptitude is heralding a new era of prosperity; the transformation is apparent - and even if not yet absolute, it is still miraculous.

Are there any interesting use-cases for this and/or problems it solves? Not that there necessarily have to be, of course, I'm just curious.
Persia Food Ltd – Recalling its Golden Raisins due to undeclared sulphur dioxide
I'm not using the right words, but it isn't that easy.

On modern phones, even if you have an image of the phone's storage, the code you enter is merged (wrong word) with a large random number stored in an externally inaccessible chip in the phone (different for each phone, obviously). This large random number is then used as a seed to encrypt the drive. So it's not anything like just extracting the disk image then brute force attempting the 10000 valid codes from 0000-9999.

edit: here is a better explanation

Apple was a front runner in implementing some sort of encryption long before
others even thought about it. Apple uses a 256-bit device-unique secret key
(UID) stored in the phone’s hardware, where it’s hard to extract from. Apple
says this UID is unique to the device and it doesn’t store these values. It
also says that no software or hardware can read this key. This UID is mixed
with the passcode to generate a new key (passcode key) to secure data on the
device. Unlike Android, this UID key can’t be extracted from the device, so
all the brute forcing attempts have to be done on the device itself. [1]

So I would guess it's reasonably secure to non-governmental adversaries. If you're worried about governments, the US now supports torture (the only person punished for torture during the war on terror was a whistleblower), so the NSA is free to torture your code out of you.

Show HN: Atom Remote Pair programming
Hi Guys,

Checkout this Atom Package to Remote Pair Programming

It enables folder collab, editing, opening, closing, switching of tabs, selections and remote cursor get reflect to the pair.

It uses the same technology used on Google Docs(Operational Transformation), so, it's quite reliable.

Please check it out.

I hate the hangsout ui so much. Google voice and google talk are must easier to read and use.
> Also from the comments, ARMv8 requires AES instructions

Just random guessing around (I have no actual knowledge)... if the mentioned encryption drivers are required for performant cryptography, then it is likely that the encryption is done by a separate core/chip/soc module, totally transparent to the CPU and maybe also battery-saving.

That said, keep in mind that you can get roughly a maximum of 20 sq km with the default landscape tool (not sure about performance at that scale).

I believe there's also some hard coded limits around the number of simultaneous players (16?), though it seems fairly easy to work around. Again, not sure about performance.

"For this, Engler holds Amazon responsible, claiming that it’s started competing with Ellora’s Cave titles by offering similar works by other authors,"

Amazon is pure evil and if you are a small business owner, don't sell anything on the Amazon marketplace. They will use your own stats against you and try to put you out of business.

They did it to me 5 years ago and then permanently banned my account with no explanation. My emails (yes, sellers don't have a way to talk to anyone) were answered by canned responses. It's sick that this can go on when they were holding thousands of dollars.

3rd party sellers make up a big portion of their profits, but because they know you pretty much have nowhere else to go, they can get away with murder.
Yes, it looks similar.

Problem: Getting honest questions on questionaires is difficult.

Setup: Respondents supply not only their own answers, but also percentage estimates of others' answers.

Algorithm: The BTS formula assigns higher scores to answers that are surprisingly common.

Premise: If people truly hold a particular belief, they are more likely to think that others agree or have had similar experiences.

Compared to other issues I think stripping/ignoring signatures for comparison should be fairly minor issue.
Yup huge technology overlap in offloading but I don't think Google really needs Republic's help there. But your right both are focused on making offloading as reliable and seamless as possible.

Personally I think an independent Republic is the most interesting business because they have a lot of room to really drive prices down, something they couldn't do within Google.
This idea has a lot more potential. Once you have the data, you can obviously give the individual user the best alternative route if there is delay on the desired one. You can also use this proactively, similar to what "Google Now" does, to alert commuters in the morning how much longer their trip might take. You could even offer functionality to automatically adjust the phone's alarm clock.

But you can take this even further than individual users and dynamically re-route passenger flows if enough of them are using the service. Say there is an interruption on a main commuter route, but several alternatives exist. Most people are now likely to choose the second best route. Since that route is unlikely to be able to handle the additional passengers, it will probably be jammed very quickly. However, using the RT passenger and situation data, it would be possible to find the globally optimal solution for load balancing the passenger flow. You can then provide the passengers via smartphone with individualised information regarding which route to take to implement this routing.

I think this has a lot of potential for taking public transport to the next level by utilising existing capacities to the fullest extent and providing benefits to all passengers.
Do you actually intend on writing a description later, or is that just a joke?
I'm shocked at this quote: "Advocates say it would take $60,000 to $100,000 per year for a family of four to escape life in poverty."

No gvim that I know of. However, it has a different philosophy there. The UI will be swappable. It will just embed neovim.

My recent experience with Yahoo:

A while ago after I installed uTorrent all my browsers (Chrome, Firefox and Safari) switched to Yahoo as my default search. Then I changed them back to Google.

After a while (I guess after I rebooted the computer) again all browsers showed Yahoo again. I googled for some help I found a hint that I have to disable and remove the 'Searchme' extension. I did so.

After a while (I guess after I rebooted the computer) again all browsers showed Yahoo again and the Searchme extension showed up again. And still Searchme is there—I took a screenshot http://imgur.com/OsH9o0m

EDIT: Why the downvotes?
Aha, that's really reassuring, thank you =)
The pin unlocks the key in the TPM. If you brute force the pin (I hope) the TPM will wipe the key.

Ask HN: People who acquired a startup: How did it go? What did you learn?
I'm interested in finding out the experiences of people who've worked on the buying-side of a startup acquisition.

1. Why did you (or your company) decide to buy the startup? What was your involvement?

2. How did you handle integrating the startup into your processes and culture?

3. Were you able to retain the right people?

4. How did it turn out in the end, and what did you learn?

Text only MUC works with Pidgin+ejabber for me, I really wish you had video MUC.

I started a new project and jabber would work great if I had multi-user video http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0272.html but ended up going with Slack instead.
The codetransformer that I worked on actually has some real use cases, namely exposing an object to a function at runtime without making it available to the calling code by name.

As far as lazy itself, it was purely developed for fun in my spare time; however, that does not mean it is not useful. I will say that there was no intended use case for this project and it was not designed to solve a particular problem.
Presumably there are still multiple ways for messages to be intercepted from the user's iPhone:

- Physical access or confiscation of the device
- Possible backdoor in iOS or the physical iPhone hardware?
- Compromise or physical access to a host machine where the user backs up their device.

Although, I'm not sure what can be done to stop this.
libvterm is really awesome and a very powerful library it's great to see it getting more use.

I've previously used it for a graphical terminal project (http://41j.com/hterm) and via Emscripten to create a web-based ssh client (https://minaterm.com). It's been very easy to work with in both cases.

I don't see how they're on comparable trajectories.

Berkshire wins by using a formula that relies on them owning whole businesses with sustainable, predictable returns, ensuring that they're extremely well managed, and backstopping them with a gigantic pile of cash that they can use to roll up other smaller bolt-on companies with.

YC works almost exclusively with unproven, highly speculative new firms, with unproven management teams (many of whom will, after joining YC, hire their first employee ever), owns so little equity in each firm that they don't even get a board vote, and by design avoids further capitalizing companies they bet on.

That doesn't make YC bad; the model seems to work extremely well. It just seems like a very different model.

edit: HN->YC. Embarrassing.
It will be written when you open an issue about it, forcing it to be evaluated.

> "Ideological purity" is irrelevant. The point here is that people are abusing terminology to create ambiguity. As we are talking about software, the term "free" has specific connotations that differ from everyday language.
UE4 is a source-available, gratis game engine. This is fine. It is not open source, nor is it free or libre.

OK, maybe it's better to call it "we're-not-gonna-be-a-dick-about-it" license.
The revenue-per-user number (supposedly) reflects the revenue they're getting from that data. If they're making $X/user from data+payments, and Z users propose paying $XY, where $XYZ is more than sufficient to pay for the infrastructure and yield a tidy profit, why not do it?

I have plenty of similar stories.

It's been a frustrating experience; I know parents who've had really intelligent, insightful advice about nonviolent ways to raise kids, and deal with difficult situations.

But I just can't spend too much time with them, because it's hard to carry on when the topic of conversation turns to toxins, or homeopathy, or whatever.

On the other hand, I'd rather hang out with them than (for example) the woman who told a group that she wasn't even going to try nursing, because her breasts were for her husband. WTF.
So my question is this.

Can you use UE4 to build large online worlds like those in Rust and The Forest? Or is there a limitation like some people have suggested? What is the specific limitation exactly it hasn't been clear.

Can you use UE4 to build cross platform games, on mobile and browser?

Does UE4 have something like Crytek's terrain editor? That's my one favorite thing about Cryengine is their environment editor.

I keep trying Atom, but performance is killing it. Especially multiple cursor support. If you try changing a token that appears several hundred times, pretty much impossible.

In brackets, it is painfully useable doing the same, but in sublime you can't even tell you are editing hundreds of lines, it is just as fast as editing a single line.

Javascript is now fast enough, but the DOM seems to be the roadblock. I'm hoping one of these editors will finally make an innovative leap like react-native did on mobile but on the desktop. Skip the DOM and use canvas or native widgets. We should then have something mostly on par with other editors in terms of performance.

Barring some amazing breakthrough in data compression to the tune of P=NP, I just don't see how this problem could possibly be solved within the constraints of the "D" in "DVCS".

The best thing we have now is to centralise large binaries and to use specialised binary-diffing tools for handling their changes. As discussed in Lobsters[1], that's more or less how Facebook has handled this particular problem[2].

And mentioning any of this is described as a "personal
attack".

javert's post was based on his personal experience with his aunt. You said it was made up nonsense. This is essentially calling him a liar, which is probably why he took it as a personal attack.

I presume eliminating aid to incapacitated people
creates homelessness not walmart jobs.

You accused javert of making things up to support his political narrative, and then you proceed to simply "presume" that the facts instead support yours. Also, welfare was not for the incapacitated, it was for anyone with low income.

what drives extremists to so thoroughly propagandize
themselves that they derail their own ability to think
clearly and do such demonstrable harm to their
societies?

I don't know, but that's not what is happening here. Claiming that disability is the new welfare is not the same as claiming there shouldn't be disability or welfare. See for example the other reply to your comment. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9132570)
