Am I the only one that feels this article is a tad sensationalist? let's assume the perpetrators actually held a sex party that went out of control:

* Every party I've seen/attended had strict rules on STD/STI's and Drug Use. No reason to think this one would not as well, unless there's evidence of bugchasing or used needles we're not being told about.

* bodily fluids such as urine or ejaculate are relatively inert; when surgeons get urine in a body cavity accidentally, they don't rush to clean it, as it doesn't cause damage.

* no reports of blood anywhere in the mess.

* Outside of the pure grossness of the situation, there is nothing that should trigger fears of a biohazard, provided someone cleans it up.

The fact that the police are treating this like Fukushima should be considered Negligent Investigation on behalf of the police officers, which is a civil tort. It was a crazy sex party; clean up, move on and let insurance adjusters handle it.

If he manages to significantly reduce greenhouse gas production by selling these to homeowners and utilities at a massive scale, then he'll definitely be changing the life of most people.
The volume is still 78mm CNY ($12.6mm) a day. Why would anyone be selling?
"We could submit a DMCA takedown request via GoDaddy and Media Temple. Starting with a broad request to see if that works, and then lay out the details if we get any pushback from the companies."

Awesome. More DMCA abuse. And this is why we need penalties against bad actors who knowingly file fraudulent takedown requests.

Does empireflippers know they are also the bad guys in this story?

Smart powerstrips are still a minority of connected devices.

Printers, routers, etc — anything that can afford a $5 ARM or MIPS core — have plenty enough power to allow TLS access.

Getting a certificate for each of them to provide a Web interface is another story.

In corporate environment the IT department will probably install their own certificates, automatically trusted by corporate browsers. Home-oriented devices will probably use massively-copied certificates instead of unique ones. It's not as secure as a per-device unique certificate, but definitely more secure than no encryption at all.
Hacking is what a person does in violation of Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986[1]. Which doesn't discuss needing to actively try to break encryption or exploit a security vulnerability but rather talks about accessing something to which you do not have permission.

Musk has addressed this a few times. If I recall correctly Cobalt production will be more of a constraint than lithium... for example, from the Q1 2014 earnings call:

the lithium, although lithium is sometimes thought of as a bigger thing than it really is for lithium ion cell.

It’s like using maybe a couple percent of the cell mass, but the biggest cost constituent is nickel

There's a great analysis of material constraints here [1].

We honor diversity and encourage creative thought. We're committed to building an environment that challenges you, but allows you to have fun in the process.

If our goals align with how you'd like your career to grow, please feel free to send us an email with your resume or career summary/portfolio. A link to your GitHub profile, blog, or anything that you've built or that represents you would be a fantastic addition.

Apply: http://www.myaidin.com/careers.html
Does it really change the argument, though? Even if the brain is merely a layer on top of an underlying mind, by making a functionally equivalent synthetic brain, it should also "access" (or however you want to call it) the underlying mind and gain an identity of its own, no?
Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. Any facebook contact I care about is already in my email program's contacts (Thunderbird, local, backed up) and my phone (contacts) - and I prefer to contact them without using facebook as an intermediary.

Whenever there's an interesting story on HN I think I'd want to refer to later, I bookmark&cache it locally.

And posts/comments I deem worthy to save, I do save a copy of locally, although that's about one in fifty I make.

I know that's not common, and furthermore in the event of a global facebookgeddon, it is likely my bookmarks would be useless. But in the case of a local cloudgeddon (see e.g. the Matt Hunan story), I'm mostly covered.

First: Never took anything you said as a personal attack. These are the conversations I like to have. Someone with a different perspective. Secondly yes I know that I was stretching the javascript to Gnome so I take that as a knock on my argument.

No my concern is not mud slinging at RMS. I really do appreciate him and I am glad he was born and is involved in our community.

My concern is the use of FUD. This is the very definition of FUD. Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. It was a FUD attack on something that really couldn't have been a trap legally or intellectually. But placing a bit of fear and it could happen caused this uproar.

Now we are looking 6 years later and well things have really opened up in C# and mono?
Edit; that just my impression, I'm not a Go user.

Basically it, I think. Go is the logical evolution of the Limbo language used to write native applications for the Inferno OS, itself evolving from Rob Pike's research with Alef and Newsqueak. The direct heritage spans at least a couple of decades, intermingled with the Plan 9 toolchain and interfaces.

As others here have said, look for meaning in your life in other places, both in the way you do the work (process-orientation) and in your relationships.

But there is an important lesson you'll have to learn to make any of that work, which is nicely summed up in the considerably under-rated "Julian Comstock" by Robert Charles Wilson: "Just because nothing lasts doesn't mean that nothing matters."

Everything you do, everything you are, is transient. The work you are doing to day will be bitrotted away to nohthing in five or ten years. The relationships you have will grow and change, and just as surely they will die, or the people you have them with wil die, or you will die.

The appeal of religion is that it's a trick that allows people to live with this reality, but the cost is extremely high. The challenge for those of us unwilling to accept the epistemic and moral compromises religion entails is to find ways for our lives to be meaningful that don't require quite such massive self-deception or accepting even a tiny bit of moral authority based on things that "just made sense" to pre-modern high-status men who knew less about the world than the average intelligent high-school student today.

Looking inward--meditating and whatnot--doesn't help much on the transience issue, because everythat that you are will also pass away. It can help on some practical things, though, including developing an awareness of all the good things we have simply by being clever enough to be born in the right time and place.

Looking outward, to help others, to contribute to the world, to develop a braoder network of social connections that are not purely self-indulgence (although a life without self-indulgence is a life not worth living) can help, although it comes with all the frustrations of dealing with human beings. No good deed goes unpunished.

I'm not a natural helper or teacher of others, but I've found the greatest satisfactions in my life have come from mentoring and managing in ways that make people's lives a bit better. One of the things that makes that work is an awareness that if I help someone learn something, the good I've done will last. The potential positive effect of mentoring goes on pretty much indefinitely, long after I've been laid-off from my job or my project has been shelved or my girlfriend has dumped me or my marriage has ended or my friends have died or all the other things that really do happen to people in the course of a long, full and successful life.

I stand corrected - although my comment was tailored for a community (HN) that usually get's all worked up about the use of the term "hacking" (and others) when it comes to computer crime.

If this was an article about the US Government convicting or charging people for "hacking" we'd most likely see numerous comments and complaints here about the improper use of the word.

No, that is a mechanism to stop trading after a certain dip in the price.
I'm curious as well. I currently work as a designer in tech and feel somewhat unsatisfied with it. The "problems" being solved pale in comparison to the ones that exist and are in need of being tackled in agriculture. Would love to continue to work in the start-up space but working on real problems like FarmLogs does.

Recently picked up "The Market Gardener: A Successful Grower's Handbook for Small-scale Organic Farming" off Amazon and seems like a great framework for starting a small farm.

At an estimated initial cost of $60,000 per farm plot, I wonder what the effect of an agriculture/tech-incubator would be. Seems silly to throw $30m at an app like Secret (not to pick one out, but you know what I mean), when there are real tangible problems being solved in the food industry by FL and others.

To be honest, if this stops these guys from scamming someone else I'd call it a win. The internet is still a bit of a wild wild west, especially when dealing with people from foreign countries. If someone robs you or breaks into your house, you have the right to defend yourself.

> Except no such mechanism exists. If you build proper crypto, it's secure, attackers can not simply make it insecure by wishing it were.

It's like the XKCD cartoon.[1] The best crypto can be defeated by a wrench and a guy willing to hit you with it. Or more likely, by passing laws requiring all the major companies of the world to give the government access to the servers whenever they wish. Or by building backdoors into routers that allow them into networks.

The way to defeat good crypto is to go around it.
