Yeah, right. Some of is of public interest, sure, but then find it, edit it and publish the results. Ah, I forgot, it's not how wikileaks operate. For them making everything public is good in itself (except, of course, when it's about themselves).

> How long do you (the Rust community) expect Rust to remain backwards-compatible?

The hope is for all of 1.*. I forget what the plan is for 2.0, but I think we want to keep things the same (mostly).

In practice there will be minor breakages due to unavoidable bugfixes.

Expanding the stdlib will never break your code. All changes now are being made with backcompat in mind; older code should never have to update.
They only do it in films - to cultivate the heroism that will eventually lead them to charge into fire in practice.

My best guess is it's an implementation of (social-)darwinist beliefs using cultural modelling (aka propaganda).
The difference is that the duties of government are clearly spelled in law, and are financed by everyone. You don't get a choice on whether to obey to your government or not, and in a democracy this is balanced by giving everyone a chance to influence such government, so that it can represent everyone's views as closely as possible (well, that's the theory at least).

With a private entity, that's not the case. If you don't like Wikileaks, you're free not to support them, or even fight them in court if you want. Wikileaks works under the umbrella of journalism/free speech laws, if there is a public interest in the matter then they should be left free to continue doing it.
You have no idea how young 25 is until you're, say, 30. I didn't even find the right career path at 25. I just started in tech around 28.
I asked you to write up an example using stack frames and addresses independent of any language. You have yet to do it.

The comment you linked to is much more reasonable than that and only introduces a little more complexity. But it is still more complex in my opinion because it uses both stacks/locals and heaps/objects as well as referencing C++, and I don't think someone who confuses Java for a pass-by-reference language will understand that any better.

If your goal in all of this is to try to change my opinion, you will need to keep trying. Why you would spend all this time on it is beyond me, but since I enjoy correcting your fallacies and you seem to enjoy grasping for ways to appear like you've accomplished something with all of your replies, we could be doing this for quite a while.

Keep it coming.
I feel like this is happening in Toronto too. At least south of Bloor where most of my friends live. Once I read the study that cyclists actually live longer (even without a helmet) on average than motorists due to better heart function I was convinced to just make the switch. It actually gets you around faster too since you can go between the stopped cars at lights, although the street car tracks really suck.

Well for software development the only problem with Windows is that it isn't unix and a lot of the web dev world lives on unix. In my experience Windows 7 is much more stable than for example Yosemite, though I would really prefer to use some linux distro.

Osx just seems to have a lot of problems with very basic stuff like beach balling various system dialogs, failing with external displays etc.

The hardware is nice, especially the trackpads are way better than the stuff for example Lenovo puts out. Though I have to admit that I really don't like aluminium as laptop material.
Actually it seems to me like she is utterly correct and Uber is fucked if there's any justice in our legal system.

> Ritual provides a container for grief, and in Bhutan that container is large and communal. After someone dies, there’s a 49-day mourning period that involves elaborate, carefully orchestrated rituals. “It is better than any antidepressant,” Tshewang Dendup, a Bhutanese actor, told me. The Bhutanese might appear detached during this time. They are not. They are grieving through ritual.

That actually sounds like a great idea. It's basically like AA's 12 steps, but for learning to cope with someone dying in your family.

That was intended. We all know that there are problems with the balance of influence. But that does not excuse the publishings.
You MUST operate in the country you register the company in AND if you are working with mostly another country, you will have to register that company in that country as well. That's not a trivial task. In Italy there's a criminal offence called Esterovestizione (http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esterovestizione) if you open a company in another country and operate mainly in Italy.
Where Children Sleep
At 34, I started my entire life over. I got a divorce, lost most of my savings in the divorce, was 30 lbs overweight, and hated my job.

25 is nothing. Within a few years I was remarried, had s lot of money in the bank, now I'm in my 40s, have a kid, house in the Bay Area, and a great job.

If I can restart my life at age 34, you can move onto your next chapter at 25 and keep doing it until you are well into your 30s.
That's true. Most publishers systems for submission, review and journal hosting are totally different systems. Lens fits in on the hosting side, not the submissions or review side, but we are interested in looking at how it could contribute in the review stage too.
One key difference, of course, is that the NSA is spying on everyone, and has all the powers of a government agency, and its many billions of dollars.

What both of them are doing is distasteful.

To some degree, though, I compare this behavior to that guy who walks up to people with a video camera, a couple feet away, and just points it at them. They become very uncomfortable, and upset, and yell at him.

What he's doing with this "performance art" - as annoying as it is, is making people realize that they are already under constant surveillance.

Anybody who previously didn't understand why privacy is so important to individuals, making them claim, "Oh, I have nothing to hide." - certainly is probably aware now how important it is to them after the Sony Dump.

And, while not defending WikiLeaks (much), can we at least agree that there is a difference between dumping people's personal emails/photos (which is 100% unjustifiable) and exposing corporate machinations of Sony?
A human framed lawful meaning is not the same as a morally correct meaning. What your essentially saying is that if we want to end corruption then we need to partake in corruption ourselves (bribe a politician for change).

This doesn't make things better.
Awesome, thank you!

It's remarkable how apple cares about certain quality aspects of their devices. They would be interesting options if they wouldn't jail and lock you down :/ However, I wonder why newer and supposedly faster devices like the iPhone 6 have higher latency. I'd think to surpass the latter generation would be the goal for each successor.

Also, it seems Samsung is taking the challenge seriously.

This is pretty interesting. I have always thought of war as a political and economic phenomenon. Why try to get by with what you currently have when you can just take what your neighbor has? In some cases it's just cheaper to go beat someone up and get their lunch money than to earn your own.

Junger is saying that war is really emergent behavior: young men are violent, so they are not just willing to go to war, but want to. It's certainly a new perspective to me. I suppose it makes some sense, though it feels to me that wars today are "not what they used to be". Take WWI and WWII. There was mass draft and the country was generally behind these. I am sure there was a great number of people who were unhappy to be drafted, but it seems that here people actually believed in the existential threat to the US.

Then take the Vietnam war. Hugely unpopular. Look at this widely circulated picture of a lighter supposedly carried by a US soldier in Vietnam: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/07/10/article-2171404-14....

Now, today our military is volunteer-based and tiny compared to, say, what it was during WWII. Only a small percentage of the population serves, and are pre-selected. Is it then fair to say that all or even most young men want to go to war? It seems to me the answer is no.

So the remaining question is whether war happens because of this emergent behavior or for other reasons. Basically, if we gave that small percentage of young men something better than war, would war stop? Or would we continue to wage war anyways?
Ah yes, bully the bully. I'm sure the NSA will remember this legal defense when its on trial for corporate espionage. We only hacked & spied on Apple because they were bullying 3rd party developers!
> if there is a public interest in the matter then they should be left free to continue doing it.

But there's not. Public interest is not the same as a public being interested.
That's not the only way. You can vote for the politician who shares your views. You still have democracy in America, you can still vote. But somehow most Americans always vote for politicians who support those donations.

This used to be the case, but the rule was changed in October 2012. I started a BV with 100EUR initial capital. I think this contributed towards the increase in Dutch startups in the last few years, in addition to the points you mentioned.

Any kind of new monetary device will attract good and bad people, bitcoin has had a number of very high profile versions of the latter but what seems to be the problem here is that instead of attributing that to the people it is wrongly attributed to bitcoin as an institution. At this point in time even though there isn't anything wrong in particular with bitcoin it is still safe to say the brand has been damaged.
Thanks, the answer of the user blueprint is genuinely inspirational.
iPhone 6 Cases
The politics around software updates (both OSs & apps) in recent time show that whoever builds on Apple is building on quicksand.

Overall software quality began to deteriorate visibly with the introduction of OS X and hasn't gotten better in the meantime. This is not because the bugs would be hard to find, or fix, but due to a deliberate policy change. And iOS is no different. Just look at both AppStores, you can see the middle finger sticking out.

They changed their stance from “We care about users” to “My way or the highway.” This works as long as the current fad is all the rage, but when it's gone there will be nothing left.

Apple has gotten too stupid for their own good, i.e. a company like any other.
>With a private entity, that's not the case.

Ah, so if the government had just contracted out the NSA's services and had them act as a private corporation rather than have the NSA be a government entity, then their actions would have been 100% a-ok.

Standard practice in Sweden, too. Pills are packaged in regional locations (called "dosage pharmacies"), shipped out, and then collected by customers in their local pharmacies.
Ask HN: What was that thing with the public AWS box?
I remember reading on here or Medium about a guy who paid for a cloud server (AWS Linux box I think) and just gave everyone shell access and people started making crazy sites of whatever they wanted. I'm struggling to find it.. anyone remember?
Getting a political message out there costs money, just as everything else - small parties can't even afford to mailshot the electorate in order to identify their beliefs.

Promoting an anti-donation message directly benefits Cuomo and the parties of big business and finance. Their backers are not going to hear that message, and their opponents' backers are more likely to act on it.
People may agree with some of the ideas on the Wikileaks about page. https://wikileaks.org/About.html

Personally I find the entire "the holocaust was only about Jews" meme appalling. Yes, it disproportionally affected Jews, but it also affected a lot of non-Jews (as well as people who did not self-identify as Jews). Presenting it as a purely Jewish tragedy is disrespectful to all the non-Jewish victims.

The more important thing is that it was about humans. Humans did these things to other humans. You should not feel any better about what happened if you're not personally related to any of those who caused the suffering than you should feel any less offended if you're not personally related to those who suffered.

The Holocaust was a failure of humanity. As was every single genocide before and after that particular one. Turning it into a "Nazis killing Jews" story allows us to artificially distance ourselves from what happened: "I'm not a Nazi, so why should I care?" or "I have nothing against Jews, so what does it have to do with me?" ("I only hate gay people").

In Germany we have a huge problem with this. We pretend to have dealt with our history, but we vehemently oppose the idea that the "monsters" who committed that "great evil" were normal human beings. As if that would somehow make them innocent. It does quite the opposite, actually: acknowledging that it was "just" humans doing those things to humans can help us understand what made ordinary humans "like us" end up doing something that horrible to other ordinary humans.

We're actually seeing something similar with East Germany: because everybody knows East Germany was an "Unrechtsstaat" (literally the opposite of a "Rechtsstaat", or "state of law", but also implying "organized injustice") their mass surveillance and censorship was fundamentally different from our mass surveillance and censorship. There's absolutely nothing we could learn from them because by definition we're nothing like them and any attempt to portray East German life as anything other than constant suffering and oppression "trivializes" the injustice of its government.

Creating taboos around these problems doesn't solve them, it just hides them. The US hasn't solved its racism just because the current president has darker skin. Acknowledging physiological differences between sexes or even ethnic groups isn't sexist or racist. Treating people unfairly because of these differences (or assumptions about the extent of those differences via stereotype pigeonholing) is.

I thought the initial concept of wikileaks was to publish documents that would reveal scandals. Instead it is becoming a pirate bay for stolen documents. I am sure the leaks of the Sony documents will reveal the nasty side of Hollywood (which are well known, Hollywood made hundreds of movies on that topic!), but how is that a matter of public interest? What scandal will come out of this? Even the diplomatic cables didn't really reveal any major wrong doing. Most documents were, at most, of interest to diplomats and historians. But no major scandal came out of these leaks.

Too often wikileaks is compared to the Snowden leaks, which triggered a rightful outrage.
I'm very surprised that HN moderators allowed this to stay on the front page for 10 hours. I know it would not have stayed on the front page if it was about Sony [YC S15]. I honestly don't know who they're trying to appeal to these days.
Can you imagine the conspiracy theories that Assange would be spewing on twitter if his emails were hacked and published. He would demonize the hackers, accuse the CIA, the NSA, MI5/6 etc. of colluding, and his friends at the Guardian would be writing pages of vitriol railing against the hackers/cia/nsa/mi5.

But Hollywood screwed Assange with The Fifth Estate so now they are fair game. He would have prefered to publish Disney emails, but this leaks plenty of conversations about Disney, or that reference Disney, so I guess its good enough.

I thought Wikileaks jumped the shark with "Collateral Murder", but this just about puts them in the same league as the worst elements of the NSA. If Sony broke the law, they could have selectively published those emails.

Yesterday is was the military, todays is large corporations, next I guess Wikileaks will publish the accounts of prominent individuals they don't like.

For the record, I think any mainstream media that republish these emails are just as bad as Wikileaks.
And Bloomberg terminals are now the universal mechanism for people to monitor and report on how successful Twitter is as a company.

Corporate != private. Companies are subject to a large number of restrictions in a tradeoff for limited liability. People acting on behalf of the company are substantially shielded from personal liability for their actions - but the business must be subject to scrutiny.

Private individuals don't have to file audited accounts, for one thing, just a tax return.
A person can fail, or an idea can fail, or a team can fail but then you iterate to the next one. A startup altogether can only fail if you as the founder decide it has failed, or you as a founder decide startup life isn't for you.
The fact that violent quarrelling over resources seems to be a part of human nature seems lost on many people.

I abhor war, but I'm not stupid enough to pretend it can be stopped with an army of unicorns farting rainbows. There are evil, greedy, nasty people out there who love to collect power just for the sake of collecting power.

As colonel Jessop says:

"Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know, that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives! You don't want the truth, because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall"

Reading history makes one acutely aware of the fact that orderly and humane societies need walls with men on them, to keep out those who don't wish it so. It's an unpalatable fact sometimes but that doesn't make it less true.

So I respect the role that armed forces plays in my peaceful life, and while I will never support an unjustified invasion of a peaceful country, and I will always dislike war, I understand it's just part of who humans are.
This is more freedom and more transparency. What is wrong with that?

Remember, openness and transparency has many levels. You may be at different level than Wikileaks. If this level of openness is uncomfortable, so be it but there may be many who feel, this level is ok. Look at how some Govt's point at others as closed societies. Just in this case, there is some one who took more higher level of openness than traditional ones.
"It is wrong to violate the privacy and confidentiality of employees and contacts of the company"

I don't see a problem here. It's not like private communication was leaked, it's a business communication from a mega corp that happened to reveal a lot of dirty details from inside the industry, so public should know that. If you used business email for personal communication, well then, next time you should know better.
How to pour agar plates (the bodacious way)
I'm not sure why this is an issue any more. It was a nice ideal when laptops were just PCs put into smaller boxes, but as manufacturers put the effort and investment into satisfying our demands for smaller, faster, lighter, I don't think the expectation of poking around inside them is reasonable.

We don't see people complaining about the repairability of their R-Pis, Chromecasts, SoC systems etc. That's the way hardware is going - because that's what we've asked for.
Perhaps they are in the leading position, but shouldn't we strive for ever better products? I just upgraded a couple of old MacBooks and iMacs from HHD to SSD and all of a sudden they are usable again - and will probably continue to be so for the coming 2-3 years. That basically extended their lifetimes by perhaps 30-40% and the saved waste is presumably closely proportional to that. So, ideally, I think, all manufacturers should provide upgrades for fair prices and encourage their customers to buy them.

Neat and I like the presentation with asciinema, but couldn't you just use zsh's built in "cmd + r" command to search in history for commands you used in the past? I usually use that + a good old alias for things I use a lot.
