Watchdog: Air Traffic Control System Is a Hacking Risk
And nowhere does it says customers want products that intentionally last a year instead of 10.
While good intentioned, I think the customer actually loses.

Take the car industry for example. Quality control variance prior to the 90s (ballpark) was a huge issue, this a result from automakers just being cheap and but also the lack of modern statistical-based end of life testing/analysis. The gov't did have to step in: Lemon Laws. But a couple of automakers responded, produced cars that didn't fall apart, people then voted with their do!lars, and made Toyota and Honda the power houses they are today. Nowdays, 100,000 mile warranty are almost standard, and just about every make of car is reliable.

Now, compare to the appliance industry. A couple thoughts: why aren't their "10 year warranties" on appliances? It's clearly something one would think consumers value, there should be a mfg taking advantage. Instead I only see appliances sold by "authorized retailers", who then try to sell you some b.s. 3rd party warranty.

This shows the entire retail/distribution chain is in on the racket. So fixing the problem will come from a market player solving this problem to deliver more of what the customer wants. Imposing additional reporting requirements on the manufacturers will just result in a 'wahhh, wahhh' our costs went up, we have to pass it on to the customer. So now everyone's appliances are more expensive, and manfucturers and retail partners continue with status quo.
I've certainly seen journalists give out such a simplistic number, usually phrased as "$1 invested when the company went public would be worth $XXX today." And when the numbers are presented in a chart, it shows basically the same thing (often labeled the "growth of $1" or "growth of $100"). But when the numbers show up in a table, they are annualized. That allows you to compare the different cells in the table ( http://blog.greaterthanzero.com/post/57991351347/measuring-i... ).

Stuff like this doesn't just pop out of nowhere. It's very clear this is the start of a campaign against Hillary

True, but isn't this Obama's leak? He surely was sending e-mails to his Secretary of state at the @phony adress.

What is disturbing is that both Patreaus and Hillary have been done in by stupid use of e-mail. Two people POTUS dislikes and have (had) clear presidential caliber and ambition.

This is not a good sign for democracy in America.
Just read up on what Bill has done and who he's been associated with since he left office: they hardly need the NSA when there's so much out in the public eye.
10,000 years is long enough for significant beneficial traits to spread widely. It's not enough time to Change neutral traits that used to be beneficial.

That's generally a vary slow change consider most animals don't need dietary vitamin C even if there diets provide plenty of the stuff.

However, you used the term "a few generations" as in below 1,000 years and that's rediculusly fast for a species that takes as long as we do to reproduce and have so few children.

Well, everyone can agree on the facts, and opinions are just facts about what people have said. So consensus can still be reached on what the opinions are.

I am as well. Doesn't change anything about your statement.
Just use something like supervisord: http://supervisord.org/

Super easy to setup - way easier than manually writing init scripts - and it'll handle things like auto-restarting the process if it dies (if you want it to).

It also supports dependency chaining (e.g. before starting the web service, start the DB)
Secure Boot doesn't build a walled garden if implemented the way it generally is on x86: anyone physically present at boot time can add and remove keys or just disable it (unless someone's set a firmware password). The way it's typically implemented on ARM is a walled garden, but that's not inherent to the technology, nor is it required for the security benefits.

Boot Guard, evidently, doesn't require building a walled garden, either, according to this article. You can use it to securely attest to the signature on the firmware, and seal your hard drive's encryption key to that attestation. That way an unauthorized modification to the firmware won't result in your private data being stolen, but the computer remains usable with an intentional modification to the firmware, whether it's Coreboot or a manual binary patch or whatever.

Freedom and security shouldn't be a tradeoff. Security includes making sure authorized use of the system is permitted. Freedom involves making sure that my computer isn't acting against my interests. We need to stop portraying this as a tradeoff, and we should make it clear that we'll accept (and maybe even demand) security when it is done in the service of computing freedom.

(x86) Secure Boot was a big step forward here for both freedom and security: it lets me make sure that only an OS I choose runs on my machine, and that no nonfree OS, not even the one that came with the computer, will boot up unless I want it to. It also (obviously) played well into the security demands of the wider market. We should be demanding more things like Secure Boot, alongside fewer things like Boot Guard.
Instead of "racism," how about "prejudice," "bias," or "elitism," or "bigotry?" Human races are already a cultural construct, no point in misusing a term by applying it to something that doesn't even have anything to do with ancestry.
I've been using vultr.com for a while and like it so far.
The security implications of the US Secretary of State using an un-secure email seem far more problematic.

We may very well find out that the US security services were complicit in the Clinton arrangement. It would truly be absurd for a modern diplomat to be using insecure communications when things like (war, life, death) etc are the subject of the communiques.

Clearly the entire POTUS/administration infrastructure was sending her e-mails, so it seems to beggar belief that the system was not vetted by the secret service and the NSA.

On the other hand, the internal politics of mid-level burecrats in the state house are on a whole nother level of banality. The record keeping is certainly an issue, but its really an apples and banannas comparison.
Why not give it the "Magic" treatment? Provider broadcasts emails / text messages. You can respond with some simple code, like "YES" or "BUY". Provider will then attempt to purchase at that rate using stored information. I would think the service fee would be best as a percentage with a minimum.
Ask HN: Low demanding job to support you
I've been working on a software project for a while that I'm hoping will bring me income when done. Until then, I'm digging into my savings but it's running out faster than I'd planned. So I need to get a job, but it shouldn't be mentally and/or physically demanding, otherwise my rate of progress will plummet. It doesn't have to be in my field and I'm OK with minimum pay as long as it covers my rent and food.

Any advice on what kind of job qualifies?
Hmmmm, the definition of what is racism has changed over time. it might be a stretch here, but not by much. There are people who actually feel superior by virtue of living in SF and being able to claim their food comes from within a 50-mile radius.

English is context-sensitive language. When reading "Unreal Engine 4 is now available to everyone for free" it was pretty clear to me (and I assume most people here) from the phrasing and context that they weren't releasing it in a copy-left license or even as open-source (Actually source code access is given).

Now if they had said "Unreal Engine is now available as free software" that would have been more confusing and misleading.
I thought it was generally accepted that the brain needs time to recover and assimilate all the input it received during the day, and that process is likely a major factor in dreams. Supporting this is the fact that smarter animals need more sleep than simpler ones and younger brains need more sleep than older ones. Any actual brain scientists can confirm whether I'm just regurgitating folk knowledge or not?

> I find myself spending a lot less time writing code and a lot more time thinking.

That's exactly what I have found to be true as well. I spend practically all of my coding time implementing things rather than trying things. That has spilled over into my use of C#, JS and Python too.

I'm hoping I can slowly introduce F# at work, until one day, a few years later we look at all our code and realize it's mostly F#.
T-Mobile, maybe, but I doubt Google actually wants to be a wireless carrier. Sprint already has Softbank to bankroll them.
Superfish was preinstalled software that could be removed by following a few steps (or installing a clean OS.)

Boot Guard is a hardware-level protection that cannot be removed or disabled.

Of course the latter is (theoretically) non-malicious, but something of that permanence disturbs me far more than some easily-removed malware. The fact that it is used to ensure that the OS and everything above it is in an "assured state" means that it could also be used to prevent users from uninstalling "approved" software like Superfish.
It's shocking, shocking I tell you, how biased the NYT is against top Democrats.

Just imagine if Clinton commingled public funds with her personal bank account...

When she started using her personal email for official purposes, she waived any claims to privacy over the contents of through that account. They should all be released, public and personal.
"Energy" as a concept has to be qualified with the type of energy, otherwise it sounds like the kind of nebulous quackery that typically accompanies "conscious observation of the cosmos" woo.

That analogy sure stopped and made me think. What a sticky issue. SHOULD browsers do that? What if your bank website refused to allow you to sign in from a machine running unpatched XP?

I think right now there might not be enough exploits targeting banking on XP machines to justify that inconvenience, but it seems like a responsable argument could be made for both cases.

In Australia, while manufacturers don't have to label their products with the expected lifespan, under consumer law they are obliged to honor warranties for the 'reasonable life span' of a given product.

This mean that if your $1k iPhone or $3k television break outside their warranty period but still inside what a reasonable person expect it to work (say 3, maybe 4 years for an undamaged iPhone, or 5-6 years for a brand name LCD TV), then you are entitled to repairs or replacement, regardless of the stated warranty period of the manufacturer.
Back when I used to QA emails, I'd check Google, Hotmail, Yahoo!, and Aol. in the various browsers.

I listed them in that order for a reason -- Gmail was the cleanest and the most usable, while the Aol. web client was half ads and irrelevant columns, requiring you to click on the inbox to even read email, and displaying some of the most ridiculous bottom-of-the-barrel flashy ads that you can get before you end up seeing Adult Friend Finder or penis extension animations.

If ad quality is directly related to how much the host website needs the revenue and/or how valuable the clicks are, it's clear which company is doing the best online.

Maybe they meant "HMAC" or "Fingerprint".
Actually, something interesting has happened lately… the link expands in size about 3 seconds after the page has loaded. I'm starting to wonder if yahoo has noticed that if they do this, they will expand the ad just at the moment that the users wanting to check their email click on the first, top message, leading them instead to click on an ad, increasing "click through".

This happens all the time when I read Ars Technica on my phone. That effective clickjacking, combined with the GE puff pieces of late, have notably reduced the frequency with which I visit Ars.

Why is this not a bigger deal? She's obviously concealing information from the records, keeping full control of her communications that way. No person so high up would go so far to avoid record keeping without having something very important to hide.
Yeah. I use systemd if the target env already has it, otherwise supervisord does a fine job.

Certainly, when it happens on the federal level it is of higher significance. It remains to be seen, if after scrutiny, Clinton engaged in official misdeeds by keeping her official communications private, but from the article it appears there are serious questions that need to be answered.

But that doesn't diminish my point. Scott Walker is a front-runner for the presidency, and by any reasonable account intentionally created an alternate IT system to bypass open records laws. Likewise, the Bush administration used a similar system hosted by the RNC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_White_House_email_controve...) for the same purpose. We should demand that all public servants operate in a manner accessible to public scrutiny, not just the party we personally tend to vote against.
Well, Republic doesn't have a hard limit on data usage except when roaming (which most MVNOs don't offer at all). Republic will throttle your speed after 5GB but won't cut you off or charge you extra. The only difference between this and what the major carriers that charge 2-3x do is that Republic's threshold is lower and more publicized.
I code to think. The only thing working against F# a bit is that C# isn't that bad of a language.
Interesting read. A topic I've thought about frequently as well.

I'm surprised this didn't gain more momentum.. but the timing of exposition here seems to be often more important than content.

Typically in (non software) Engineering the problems are pretty well defined usually along the lines of: "Here is an X make it more efficient"

Where X is Engine/structure/Industrial Process etc...

And the defintion or at least the intent behind the meaning of "more efficent" is well understood i.e. Weighs Less, Consumes less Engergy, produces more torque etc.

In the software world there is a much looser definition of what an improvement is which complicates the issue.

"Engineers, in 2015, don't come up with an idea and start pounding on sheet metal"

There is a good quote from Tesla I was taught as an undergraduate Engineer:

“If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search.
I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labor.”

Edison went through numerous protypes trying to design the light bulb. I guess that would be the equivalent of the pounding sheet metal approach.

As we were taught Edison was an inventor, Tesla an engineer.

The modern day equivalent of the inventor would be the achitects and industrial designers of the world, they come up with crazy ideas (by pounding the metaphorical sheet metal) and some poor engineer has to make it work. Maybe software needs the same thing a looser coupling between software designers and software engineers.
(1) variety across regions; (2) variety across seasons; (3) harder to scale up, and therefore less likely to be refined/processed/unnatural; (4) forces people to be creative about food, which adds to the culture.

Of course, those might not be true, but they are plausible enough to be attractive reasons.

One might argue that, technically, importing strictly increases options, and therefore makes it easier for an individual to eat a wide variety. But it also makes it easier for someone to get a little too comfortable eating exactly the same things for too long without thinking.
I dunno, your statement is kind of anti-growth. Calling humans locusts, at least to me, brings the image of some greeny who would advocate genocide for the sake of the planet.

I have moderate-to-severe apnea, but nothing that might have caused it (not overweight, don't smoke, etc.) and didn't find out until I was 21.

Using a CPAP is a night and day difference--whereas I used to require 10-12 hours to function without randomly falling asleep if I sat still for too long, and now I can get 6-8 without any issues and I'm more alert, have a better mood, etc.

I wouldn't have known except that my ex-girlfriend noticed that I wasn't breathing when I was asleep and got me to see a doctor about it. Apparently it had been going on for years and years--I asked other people who had seen/heard me sleep from 15 onwards and a lot of them also had noticed it but hadn't said anything.

If you think you have apnea, sleep studies suck to go through ("here, lets stick a bunch of monitors on you and then let you try to sleep"), but it was entirely worth it. If it's at all economical to do one, I'd suggest looking into it: even if they don't find apnea they might find something else.
I worked for a tiny online retailer that also did drop shipping for some companies with similar products. Once, someone found a hidden product someone had uploaded as a test: $1500 marked down to $0. It got posted on reddit and hundreds of orders came in all at once. They took the product off their site and canceled all of the orders, but the nastiness and persistence by the people who had placed orders insisting that they deserved this thing for free was mind boggling. There was clearly very little understanding that there were real humans on the other end of this website whose days they were making much more difficult.

Google Chrome's Pwnium V: The Never-Ending* Pwnium
Experts have been predicting human level intelligence 30-50 years out for a while now. I don't see anything in the current line of research that will change that situation.

My measure of intelligence is creative problem solving in a mathematical discipline like theoretical physics, algebraic topology, combinatorics, etc. All the current AI research is doing is building better and better pattern matching engines. That's all very good but talking about sophisticated pattern matching pieces of code as if they were anything more seems very silly to me.

But I don't think looking at things this way is valuable in either case. Hamming has a great set of lectures on what it would mean for machines to think and in the grand scheme of things I think the question is meaningless. The real question is what can people and thinking machines accomplish together.

I've edited the word 'race' out --but want to make the point that race is not based on ancestry. Its meaning can shift quite a bit. Recall the English thought German immigrants were an 'inferior race'. But as conceptualized in today's English, white Germans and white English are today considered the same 'race'. In vernacular speech 'racism' is equivalent to bigotry and also intolerance.
