Every response to this I've seen from "the infosec community" (my connection to that community tends sharply towards vulnerability researchers, since that's my background) has been critical of this guy. I can't think of anyone I've seen cheerleading him. I've even seen rare glimmers of people criticizing EFF for trying to make a cause celebre of him.

But you're taking things too far by casting aspersions on all of "stunt hacking".

The problem with this idiotic tweet is that, if there is a vulnerability in the electronics of an airplane, this is exactly the thing you'd expect to see before some moron accidentally forced an emergency landing by tinkering with it. Vulnerability researchers disrupt and disable systems all the time without trying to.

The same is not true of people using logic analyzers on car CANbus systems (the archetypical example of stunt hacking).

The real criticism I've seen of stunt hacking is that (a) we don't learn all that much from it and (b) it's not particularly difficult ("look at this debugger debugging", as a friend of mine summarizes most stunt hacking talks).
As someone who's flying United today, this is a bit disconcerting. Note to self: don't crack jokes.

TL;DR - If your corporation is extremely open/transparent, including R&D, you may risk losing sales from people willing to wait for a version 2.0. If so, don't close up/make opaque your business as a response, or you'll end up killing your core audience.
The guy doing the filming talks on the phone and says that "road to Talda" is being blocked by landslide. There is Bol'shaya Talda and Malaya Talda not too far from Novokuznetsk Kemerovskaya obl. That's in Siberia and does have a good amount of mining there.

That said, it could be just seasonal melting gone out of control.
An important factor relating to education is merely getting people engaged in doing something - allow for productivity. You of course have to have a (safe) place for people to gather, make sure those people can get there, make sure they are fed, and then they can share and learn; health is an important part too of course. Once you have these base factors then education is the best thing to fill ones time with, as opposed to letting someone's mind go stagnant or worse yet get sucked into boredom; if you can get them also productive with agriculture or other productive activities, great - however those have a larger initial capital investment (equipment and natural resources). It's more complex than this of course.
>What creates an obligation to display a page in a certain way?

I'm not sure there is one, which is one way the internet flips the script. I'm not entirely sold on the idea that using adblock is unethical or stealing. Seems much closer to something like a donation box, where the "seller" puts the goods out there and hopes that the "buyers" will give money (in the form of clicking on ads or at least not using adblock).

It's a loose set of rules, the internet, but no one is really obligated to play buy those rules. The question arises, what does the internet look like if everyone uses adblock? What sites disappear that we care about and what disappears without a complaint? And what works in ways we wouldn't have imagined before?
Insurance (and chargebacks) is one of those things you don't care about until you need it.

When someone stole my debit card number (probably through a compromised reader) and began using it fraudulently, my bank contact me, shut down the card, and eventually gave me my money back. How many people at Mt. Gox were insured?

You can make contrived hypotheticals about the "benefits" of not having these services, but they get harder to explain away when you do need them.
But what if there is a natural disaster like a Tsunami (not in Norway of course..) or a storm, or what if Norway is attacked by Sweden. Would a mobile network work in those situations, or would radio be better?
And herein lies the genius of these bulk discount stores: people think they're being frugal just by walking in the door, even though there's an admission fee.

Yes, it's true that some things are substantially cheaper, but on many things the items are the same cost or more expensive than they'd be elsewhere. We've found that each item needs to be priced out specifically to find if it's actually cheaper at a wholesale club like Costco/Sam's (we've had memberships to both but only have Sam's now since Costco is much further away) or a big box retailer like Wal-Mart. The overall difference for general household goods is usually not very significant (YMMV depending on what you're buying).

We maintain the membership(s) because we like to get some things in larger quantities and some goods for sale at Sam's/Costco are not available elsewhere. Costco also has ultra-good customer service and return policies.

>people want to work, and to feel valuable.

Only because most others work and a person's value, or perceived value, is largely tied to them working, their work, etc.

The perceived value comes from essentially not relying on others to work to support you while you don't.

If machines were doing the work and trying to make additional money was optional I don't think the vast majority of people would be opting in. Indeed, it could even be seen as a negative trait if you're one of the few chasing money.
That doesn't seem to affect the common protective instinct corporations have for their products. If you have a failing product, you want to rescue it somehow, not join in the beating.

They're not required, they just default to having a name. You can tell the compiler you don't want a name, and it works:

func f(a: Int)(_ b: Int)(_ c: Int) -> Int { return a + b + c }
let v = f(2)(5)(5)

The rules for what gets an externally visible name automatically are pretty weird, to be sure. But it's easy to have it do what you want if you don't want the default.
also note, that the list of sites is free to pickup by anyone and submit themselves manually (without using the software) all free of cost.
The methodology for this forecast is wrong, the sample size is much much too small, and the conclusions about risks make no sense.

Plus the hassle of obtaining a new radio to an old car, so that you can plug your 3G phone to it. (At least around here, most car radios do not even have an input where you could plug your phone's earphone output, and even in 10-year-old cars the radio is an integrated model which is not at all easy to replace.)
Here is what OP said:

You have to be able to discuss anything about your health with your doctor. This is simply unacceptable behavior from the doctor and means s/he should find a new one.

Google Scholar shows 54,600 results for mindful meditation. Not nearly as many as for oral health, but if you're using the number of results as an indicator of anything other than the number of papers published about a topic, you're just cargo culting the scientific method.

Clearly it is beyond either of our interest to even read 1 page of papers from these results, but if you are genuinely curious about the scientific research into the efficacy of mindful meditation, may I direct you to peruse https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=mindful+meditatio....

My understanding of what's supported by research is that mindful meditation is effective at reducing the magnitude of specific mental events (anxiety, etc.) as well as reducing chronic pain. It may also help people with sociological subjective scores like life happiness and contentment measures. It does not seem to have a significantly stronger effect than other relaxation techniques, so it appears that the benefit comes from the mental housekeeping rather than "mindfulness" in particular.

It's a technique that is shown to be effective. There's nothing magical about it compared to other similar techniques.

It's not like merchants are required to accept credit cards, or customers are required to use them. If you don't like using credit cards, don't. If you don't like merchants who accept them, patronize those who don't.

Of course, that last bit is pretty hard, but only because merchants have mostly decided that the cost and hassle of accepting credit cards is well worth it.

> I can tell you that for us, at least 10 years ago, it was a remarkable success, and saved us a lot of time vs. developing in C or Ada, but that was for code running on large servers.

To what do you attribute the time savings? I'm interested in using the JVM because I'm thinking I'll have an advantage in debugging over C. Would that be true, in your experience? Do you think that it was easier to develop using the JVM under your quality system than it would have been under C or Ada?

You make several wrong assumptions from what I've written.

- You asked for verification, I gave you my own, if more 9 people do the same, you have a statistic.
Yes, I'm kidding here, but first hand "investigation" also have its merits. Never did I want to imply this prove (scientifically) any benefits for everyone.
But I can do that now if you are into it - logical reasoning can be a powerful tool.

- I said "I could guess you never read a study about the benefits of oral hygiene". Never did I say that there were no studies about this. Your response makes me think my assumption was correct.
Moreover, I may have failed to make my point clear: you do things that are what science recommends in order to be healthy, but you learn it, not from peer-reviewed articles but from people near you.

> It is quite clear you don't care about peer-reviewed science. That's your prerogative.
"Ad Hominem" argument and we don't need this. I, specifically, said I didn't care about "peer-reviewed studies about this", this referring to Mindfulness. Though I don't support my own attitude for people that are curious and want to learn more about Mindfulness.

> That is an easy claim "in a few years, you'll all be scientologists" is just as simple.
True, my bad. At that point I was digressing.

> Can you show scientific evidence that meditation improves the achievement of flow?

Nice Downtowns: How Did They Get That Way? People Made Them
A couple years ago when I visited the Computer History Museum I hadn't ever seen an analog computer, or hadn't realized what I was looking at when I saw a depiction of one. Modular synthesizers were just coming to my attention again with the whole Eurorack thing. As I stood in front of the museum's analog computers I realized that modular synths and even guitar effects pedals were basically analog computers.

I took it to mean that whilst they did not make a choice to become homeless initially, once in the situation, they have found a culture that works for them.

fwiw, there are homeless people who work, so it is not only people who do not work who are on the streets or in shelters.
Renting a room on craigslist does not remove you from being homeless, a lack of a permanent residence is what defines homeless, hence living in a shelter is still classed as being homeless, as is temporary accomodation (hotel or week to week room rent, or week to week couch surfing)
Just like caffeine.
Bitcoin != Mt Gox

The people using Mt Gox knew it was not an insured service and for most part ignored all warning signs for a long time that it was basically a scam.

They CHOSE to trust a shady service with a ridiculous name for the storage of their bitcoins when they could have stored them locally in a quite a secure manner. They CHOSE to send bitcoins and fiat to service that had warning lights flashing above it for months and months on end. The people who lost money in Mt Gox knew exactly what they were getting into and got burned for it.

Their stupidity is not the fault of bitcoin protocol/platform yet you and many others equate bitcoin to MtGox unfortunately.

BTW > http://blog.ycombinator.com/coinbase-yc-s12-is-becoming-the-...
There are services being build around bitcoin including Ycombinator funded ones that build on bitcoin and start to offer things such as insurance and good professional trading tools and api's etc etc on top.

Bitcoin is a technology which gives users more options and choice (including choice to spend their money on scams such as MtGox if they so wish)
Able bodied != able to get work, or without mental health issues.
You can be homeless, or living in your car, and putting on a uniform every day for work, or a suit.
An interesting idea, and one I'll note seems to work.

I think the bigger issue is the trusting someone to do data-collection for ads. When everything is "pay per click" or "pay per eyeball" both sides have incentive to engage in click-fraud. All these awful networks seem to be solving that issue by creating a third party who has to attract both advertisers, and affiliates, and thus shares(at least partially) the motives of both parties
I'm not an expert, but I've heard from authorities on the subject that the "deserving homeless" is almost entirely a myth. The scenario of someone who is down on their luck and has to beg is rare, and they tend to do that for a relatively short amount of time. The odds are strong that you are giving your money to a person suffering from substance abuse or mental illness.

Then again, I just moved to New York, and I'm naturally biased towards interpretations that match my recent personal experience.

Why is encouraging commercial work over open source work something positive?
> First, in the US there are four companies, not two (or three, if you don't want to count Discover). And chargebacks aren't the reason that there are so few players - they're far from the biggest barrier to entry for an upstart, aspiring credit card provider.

Regardless of how many players there are, it's hard to deny that they behave like a cartel, which I think was the point of GP's use of duopoly.

I don't really see chargebacks as an anti-competitive practice, but I do see them as shifting the burden for their shockingly-bad security practices to merchants and consumers and focusing on ease of use (even for criminals) to increase the amount of credit card spending and profits for the payment networks. Europe has had chip and pin for decades now (it was already well established on my first trip there in 1998) and we're just getting it now after a ton of major breaches that should have been easily prevented. But merchants are forced to take credit cards because consumers love the convenience of paying that way and they're prevented from knowing the added cost that it imposes. That's where the cartel behavior comes into play...the policies that prevent merchants from advertising different prices for credit card transactions to reflect that added cost of accepting credit cards adds a silent ~5% tax onto everything we buy. Even for informed consumers, it creates tragedy of the commons situation because you'd be foolish to buy with cash when you can pay the same price and get 1% cash back.

All of this follows from the chargeback system that places all the burden for fraud on merchants. If the payment networks bore the burden for fraud out of their cut, we would have seen credible security features long ago. And somehow, when breaches like Target and Home Depot come to light, we blame those companies rather than the payment networks who should have been responsible for solving these issues many years ago.

I think we're due for a paradigm change in consuming and recycling products. Just as there are manufacturing costs, there should be disassembly costs associated with products that are part of the price. These costs will cover the process of compete disassembly of the product into its constituent materials at the end of its life cycle.
Even better, let's legalize it already. Too many people are suffering from this old law.
> "Fuck you, I didn't choose this, but I love it."

You'll find that most difficult experiences people endure in life don't make sense on a logical level. You'll also probably find it hard to empathize with. If you've heard of love hate relationships, it's sort of like that.

I wasn't homeless, but my father was as a child under 5-10 for some time (I am not exactly sure how long).

All I can really say is sometimes it feels like you've been born into a path that is predetermined by fate, you've tried as hard as you can to jump over that wall to get out of that path, and every time you try, someone kicks you out. So you wind up rationalizing your current circumstances, finding value where you can while you have to live it, and generally developing intolerance for people who do not tolerate you.

But most of the time, quick snaps of the tongue like this are exactly that. They are a flit of emotion, over a thing that is a tangled web of emotion.

These are complicated things. It is sad to me, but most of the time, instead of helping, all I can do is continue trying to survive, so I don't have to live the life my parents did.

Thanks for saying this. The homeless and the poor are human beings and should not be demonized for having the niceties that make anyone's life more joyful. (Kansas, I'm not so sure you're doing it right [1].)

I once read about and have since admired a very enlightened approach to this, in the UK: when measuring the average cost of living in addition to things like food and shelter they will also include the money that a household would need to take a one-week vacation.
